Researchers have determined that water splitting can produce clean energy hydrogen and use small metal particles exposed to sunlight to perform the splitting. Researchers at Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory used gold particles less than one nanometer in size to increase hydrogen production, far exceeding the hydrogen production of other catalysts.
Less than one dozen metal nanoparticles have the ability to turn water into fuel. And, despite seeming counter-intuitive the smaller the particle, the greater the power.
Professor Orlov of Stony Brook University discovered when a reduction in metal particles is below one nanometer, the particles actually facilitate hydrogen production even more efficiently by employing solar light. By using this method, hydrogen evolution increased by a factor of 35 compared to other metals.
Scientists and researchers acknowledge that they have a long way to go to truly understand anomalies and intricacies in small particle electronic properties, but they are optimistic that further study may lead to results that will reduce dependence on fossil fuels. They are looking toward a future that may encompass a hydrogen-based energy economy. This new sustainable energy source would benefit the environment while increasing energy efficiency.
If researchers can find new sustainable materials such as water to facilitate hydrogen production, hydrogen might one day be the cleanest sustainable energy on the planet.

Oshkosh Police Officers Dragged By Driver
A 26-year-old woman is facing multiple charges after dragging two Oshkosh Police officers during a traffic stop on Doty Street Thursday afternoon. The woman was giving an officer a false name when she tried to drive away. The officer and another who had stopped to assist tried to put her car in park. They were partially in the vehicle when she accelerated away. One officer was able to get out of the car and the woman then drove at the officer and struck him. The driver ultimately struck a home and front porch and fled on foot, but was quickly caught. The officers’ injuries were minor. The woman is facing first degree recklessly endangering safety, second degree recklessly endangering safety, kidnapping, and battery to a law enforcement officer charges. She was also wanted on an outstanding warrant. | <urn:uuid:856500e3-d716-4d40-ac02-60822ad4f718> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.kfiz.com/oshkosh-police-officers-dragged-by-driver/ | 2020-09-27T13:18:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400279782.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927121105-20200927151105-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.991237 | 174 |
Big Law’s White & Case may call them “energy pods”, but to any tired lawyer they are sleeping pods . . and they love them, it seems.
Coming in at $13,000 each, the . . what shall we call them? . . “sleep/energy pods” are designed to reward lawyers with the rest they need to enhance productivity and their overall job satisfaction.
“It’s like ‘Wow, I’m refreshed,’ ” said Francis Vasquez Jr., a White & Case litigation and arbitration partner who worked with the office’s associates to get the napping pods installed last year, American Lawyer reports.
The pods come from New York’s MetroNaps, which provides what they describe as the ” world’s first chair designed for napping in the workplace.”
Think of them as lounge chairs with a dome or “privacy visor.” You can listen to “relaxation rhythms” provided by the machine or drift off to your own tunes in cozy seclusion. After 20 minutes, the pod gently nudges you awake with vibrations and soft lights.
Although the pods have become increasingly popular, not so among law firms it would seem. However partner Vasquez is more than happy with the results.
Vasquez said It was at associates’ urging that White & Case bought the pods, but he’s used one a few times in the morning. He gets to the office early after taking his children to school and has crawled into one of the pods to grab a cat nap before the day gets underway.
“They look like little spaceships,” he said.
Other businesses that use MetroNaps‘ “corporate fatigue management solutions” include Google Inc., Cisco Systems Inc. and PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP.
Resting on the Job
The job-based sleeping quarters are not new. In London for instance some of the major law firms have provided Japanese-style sleeping quarters for late-working lawyers.
Round-the-clock working cultures that are so predominant in law firms are not healthy for the firms’ ability to retain staff, with antisocial hours widely cited as the principle cause of their high female attrition rates (just 18% of partners at City law firms are women, despite significantly more women than men joining these firms at graduate level) and consistent failure to retain lawyers over 55, The Guardian reported in 2011.
Stress among lawyers has been the cause of drug and alcohol dependency and suicide, quite apart from stress-related illness.
So the ‘energy pod’ may well be something to grow fast among law firms seeking to embrace stress-reduction – not to mention increased productivity.

A new edition of the critically acclaimed exhibition organised by Qatar Museums (QM), ‘Pearls: Treasures from the Seas and the Rivers’, opened in Moscow as part of Qatar Russia 2018 Year of Culture.
The opening was attended by QM CEO and Special Advisor to the QM Chairperson Mansoor bin Ebrahim Al Mahmoud, HE Ambassador of the State of Qatar to the Russian Federation, Fahad bin Mohammed Al Attiyah, along with a number of VIP.
The exhibition displays 50 pieces of jewellery and other examples of pearl craftsmanship made from freshwater pearls from Central Asia. It includes 20 new, never-before-shown artefacts specially selected for the exhibition in Russia. The QM exhibition is hosted by the World Diamond Museum at the Exhibition Centre of the State Historical Museum in Moscow from 11 July until 1 October.
Rare Pieces of Pearl Jewellery
The exhibition features some of the most beautiful pieces of pearl jewellery and rare natural pearls from the collection of Qatar Museum. The exhibition begins with an insight into the natural history of pearls and their formation, shedding light on many unknown facts that will amaze visitors and dispel common myths.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to learn about the different kind of pearls created by shell fish from around the world, with a unique display of natural pearls, including rarities such as pearls from American rivers.
The exhibit also tells the story of pearl fishing in Qatar. It draws a parallel between the history of pearl industry in Russia and in Qatar, and shows jewellery and handcrafted masterpieces of different countries and epochs: from an intricately cut figurine of the 17thcentury to a modern composition called ‘Frozen’ by Vietnamese master, Sam Tho Duong.
Among other masterpieces on show are jewellery pieces by Cartier, pearl earrings by Bvlgari worn by Elizabeth Taylor, a broch designed by the sketch of Salvador Dali, a Tiara of Archduchess Marie Valerie of Austria and treasures from other European monarchies. The exhibition also shows pearl jewellery of various ethnicities and tribes, such as head decorations and earrings from Tibet and pearl artefacts from Russia and Central Asia.
Rediscovering Qatari Heritage
The exhibition, considered one of QM’s flagship initiatives, is the first travelling exhibition organised by the institution, and designed to introduce audiences to the history and transformative impact that the pearl industry had on Qatar and the world. The exhibition reflects Qatar’s great curiosity for its own past and for rediscovering its heritage, often from a culture of oral history.
It chronicles pearl fishing in Qatar, providing an insight into the ancient methods and techniques used by pearl divers and an overview of the pearl trade in the Gulf. Archaeological excavations have confirmed that, long before oil and gas, another natural resource supported the growth and development of the country: pearls collected from the Arabian Gulf. Starting around 5,000 years ago, exporting loose pearls became a major source of income for Qatar. This gave rise to the development of major trade routes, which built the foundations of the region’s rich heritage and identity that is still visible today.
Russia and Qatar both share strong historical ties to pearls. In Russia, pearl usage in jewellery and textiles was omnipresent, stretching back to Byzantine traditions. Pearls used in Russia were not cultivated from sea oysters, however, but from mussels living in almost all rivers and lakes across the empire. They were sewn onto beautiful textiles, kokoshniks, jewellery and adorned everyday objects like horse saddles.
This is the sixth time that the Pearls exhibition has travelled the world, with the last show taking place in China as part of Qatar China 2016 Year of Culture.
Exhibition curator Dr Hubert Bari said pearls have long inspired artists and painters with their quiet elegance and mystery.
This diverse exhibition will answer many of the questions surrounding these natural wonders, while taking visitors on a fascinating journey through the history of pearl diving and trade in Qatar. The exhibition is a major highlight of the Qatar Russia 2018 Year of Culture, which will see two great cultures explore unexpected historical parallels through the use of pearls in traditional design and jewellery making. We hope that this is something that will help bring our people and countries ever closer together.’
Qatar Russia Year of Culture
The Qatar Russia Year of Culture was officially launched in Doha in February 2018. The annual Year of Culture programme is made up of a wide variety of exhibitions and events in addition to literary and art workshops, film screenings, concerts, performances and trade shows, part of which will be held in 2019.
The Qatar Russia 2018 Year of Culture, sponsored by Qatar Airways, was planned in collaboration with leading institutions in Qatar and Russia, including the Embassy of Qatar in Moscow, the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Doha, the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, Qatar’s Ministry of Culture and Sport and the State Museum and Exhibition Centre.
The year is part of the landmark ‘Years of Culture’ initiative developed under the guidance of QM Chairperson HE Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani in 2012, to deepen understanding between nations and people through mutual exchanges of arts, culture and heritage. It also provides tangible opportunities to build sustainable links and cooperation between creative members of Qatari and Russian society and foster continuous collaboration.

Danbury United rolls
Clicking like a squad that's been together for months, Danbury United remained undefeated by outlasting Team Helmet of Seymour 2-0 in a Nutmeg State Games matchup at the
Joanna Coords, a rising junior at Danbury High, and Amanda Walters , a rising senior at Pomperaug, provided second-half goals for Danbury United, which won its third consecutive game.
"I thought it was actually a very close game. We were expecting them to be a tough team. It was pretty physical but it was a good tactical game," Walters said.
"It was really closely matched. Both teams are really good," Coords said. "It was even the whole time. It was really physical. But it was OK. We knew coming in it was going to be tough and the one (today) is going to be tough also."
Coached by Warren Delaney , Danbury United plays its last round-robin game against the Warde Mustangs of Fairfield tonight at Kenosia before entering the medal round. The Warde Mustangs were nipped by Team Helmet in penalty kicks earlier this week after neither side scored in regulation.
Danbury United's roster includes players from Danbury, Immaculate, Wooster School , Pomperaug, Newtown, Shepaug Valley, Masuk, Wilton, Westhill and Norwalk.
Despite being relative strangers, they've clicked from the outset.
"We all just met two weeks ago and we got along great," Coords said. "We're all friends now. And everyone is pretty good so we work together well. We're just all good players."
That goes for the younger ones, too. Several girls entering their freshman year play "up" on premier teams. Yet it's hard to tell their ages by how they play.
"We're all at the same level and kind of the same size so we work well together," Coords said. "I wouldn't have known they're younger if I didn't know them."
The match was scoreless until the 45th minute. Following a throw in, Westhill's Lizzie Van Name juggled the ball before sending a pass to the cutting Coords, who scored to give Danbury United a 1-0 lead.
Ten minutes later, Walters provided an insurance goal by converted a sharp-angled shot from the right side into the left side of the net.
Coords and Walters share the team lead with three goals apiece. Both have scored once in all three matches. But Danbury flaunts several other players capable of providing offense. Seven players found the net during Danbury's 7-0 victory over the Bridgewater Wavz and five players had goals in a 5-1 win against Northwest United of Norwalk.
Defensively, goalies Monica Dahlgren and Corey Medrano combined for their second shutout in three games. Both played a half, just as they did against Bridgeport. Medrano, the Immaculate High keeper, played the entire game against Northwest United. Dahlgren will be a freshman at Wooster this fall.
The play of the goalies and defenders is important because the third tiebreaker (after head to head and record vs. common opponents) is goals allowed.
Walters is a NSG veteran, having competed in gymnastics several times.
"I decided I'd try something different and do soccer," she said. "I love it. It's a way to have your sport in the summer. It's like a pre-season get-in-shape kind of thing where you meet different people. I hardly know any of the girls on the team so it's chance for me to reach out and have fun."
Conversely, Coords is participating for the first time, but she's got a good reason.
"I actually never knew there were Nutmeg Games before this but they're in Danbury this year," she said. "I think it's fun. It's a great thing to do. All my friends are (doing) different sports. You meet new people and you play against good teams so you get better at it."
Any maybe come away with a gold medal.
"We want to win pretty badly," Coords said. "Yeah, definitely."
NOTES: Danbury United's victory was marred by a right knee injury suffered in the second half by Melissa Michaelis , a rising junior at Danbury High. There weren't any trainers or medical personnel on-site during the game to evaluate or treat the injury. | <urn:uuid:6056391c-a68a-4029-8a34-e04e795f0b80> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.newstimes.com/news/article/Danbury-United-rolls-232025.php | 2020-09-27T13:54:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400279782.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927121105-20200927151105-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.983773 | 940 |
Gandhinagar, Feb 21 (IANS) US President Donald Trump will be cutting short his stay in Ahmedabad to accommodate his likely Agra visit and the dinner at Delhi. Sources said his visit to the Gandhi Ashram at Sabarmati is in all likelihood cancelled.
“We are yet to receive any confirmation about the Presidents’ plans regarding the Gandhi Ashram visit, but 99 per cent, it is scrapped,” said a state government official.
The Trumps were expected to spend about half-an-hour at the Ashram. A new parking space was being created at the place. A platform was being built on the rear side of the Ashram so that Prime Minister Narendra Modi could show the entire Sabarmati riverfront to the visiting dignitaries from one place. A special room was also being prepared at the Ashram, where the dignitaries would be spending some time. Sources said all that work has been halted for now.
So, now the mega event — the 22 km roadshow from the airport to the Sabarmati Ashram — has been reduced to 9 km. Now, the Trump couple accompanied by Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be driving straight to the Stadium from the Ahmedabad airport.
The change in plans can also be attributed to the fact that there’s also a dinner arranged in the evening in Delhi which the US dignitaries are expected to attend. | <urn:uuid:38303566-6da0-4319-a162-fd2847c40ce8> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.nripulse.com/trump-visit-to-sabarmati-ashram-likely-cancelled-roadshow-reduced/ | 2020-09-27T13:23:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400279782.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927121105-20200927151105-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.980295 | 290 |

J didn’t start using a beaker properly until he was around 18 months old – at three years old he has only just started using a cup regularly. Now, N wants to be exactly like his big brother and was always stealing his beaker so we got him his own, though he did take a while to get the hang of it but he pretty much always has one now. Now J uses a cup, of course N wants to be the same. That’s where the 360° Junior beaker from Anywayup comes in handy.
At only 14 months old I wasn’t sure whether N would take to it, but after some demonstration from his brother he has the hang of it. The unique point of this beaker is the circular valve system which allows the child to drink from any point around the beaker, just like with a normal cup, but with the lip on this one they can’t spill it.
The tapered shape of the beaker makes it really easy for N to hold even with his little hands. It looks heavy but it is quite light really. It is supposed to be non spill but we have found that this one does leak a little; but that is from N banging it on the floor by copying his brother! Used normally though it is absolutely fine, and it does come with a handy lid for even more protection especially when out & about. There are three parts to the lid and it comes apart easily for thorough cleaning.
Another thing I do like about this beaker is that with the lid off it can be used as an actual cup for when they have mastered it completely, or for older siblings like J. I love the bright colours it comes in too. A very worthwhile investment for toddlers who are wanting to use a cup but can’t quite get the hang of it.
The 360° Junior beaker retails at £5.95 and can be purchased from the Anywayup website.

• Robert loves to see a project come full-circle. With all the work going into solar panel installation, he marvels at the whirr of devices working in sync when he flips that little switch. His hard work comes to life, and like an artist, he watches in wonder.
• One of Robert’s favorite actions is revisiting customers one year after their solar system installations. Again, he marvels at the changes made to their lives since their last encounter–so much so, they barely talk solar! Their families are growing, they’re scoring new jobs, building additions, living their lives. Robert is impassioned by their stories and the homeowners whose lives are transformed by the unexpected power of the sun. To Robert, that’s the beauty of solar… working magic and making time for those little things in life.
• Robert is also passionate about discussing the changes solar has made to the lives of our veteran customers. These people know how much energy their solar has produced, how much their utility bill went down, how much rain we got in May, and how it affected their monthly production. They are very in touch with the many ways that solar is sustaining them for years to come, and they grasp the importance of moving to renewable energy. Robert loves when our customers can see the bigger picture of the impact that solar can have on changing our lives and improving our future.
• Photography – Robert captures everything with his GoPro. From work to play, that little device goes absolutely everywhere with him. It encourages him to be more active and to push his own boundaries in the things that he does. Capturing life’s moments has helped him carve a new perspective, which he brings to work each day!
• Painting – Robert also loves to spend his spare time painting. He studies the nature, landscapes, and city skylines from the places he’s been, giving the work a piece of his original style. He particularly enjoys incorporating Philadelphia styles, mindsets, people, places, and things into his works of art.
• Outdoor Sports – Robert has a romance with all things outdoors. His vacations are centered around activities as much as the destination. He could do without the lazy beaches, just give him a mountain or lake and he is occupied for days! Robert loves adventure, loves to explore. He particularly loves to snowboard, skii, go hiking, mountain biking, longboarding, wakeboarding, and boating.
• City Slick: Robert also enjoys living in and exploring Philadelphia. He has been a Philly resident for 4 years, yet he still finds time to learn more and more about the city every day. He loves checking out new parts of the city, up and coming restaurants, and trying new beer at Philly’s outdoor beer gardens. He has truly become a local and loves participating in city activities like the night market, first Fridays, and local festivals. | <urn:uuid:beda00ba-7bdf-4bc2-8ebe-e020623e1033> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.terrasolenergies.com/employee-spotlight-robert-santoleri/ | 2020-09-27T12:48:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400279782.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927121105-20200927151105-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.971619 | 620 |

1) In your own words describe your unique style and creative aesthetic?
I have an adventurous style. I’m not afraid of bold colours or of mixing styles and periods.
2) When starting a new project, what is your creative process?
I let the project speak for itself – each project is so uniquely different and I seldom repeat a design process.
3) Out of the creative people you have worked with, who is it that you respect and admire the most?
Marlys Tokerud ASID – she never compromises and she encouraged me to buy fine furniture pieces that are timeless in any setting. For example a J. Robert Scott console table in silver leaf. Also Dillon Kyle, a Houston architect – my husband and I designed a house with him that is yet to be built. Dillon listened and took our ideas and spun magic. He is one of the most creative individuals I’ve encountered.
4) When looking for inspiration is there a particular thing you do to get inspired?
1stDibs is always a good start! But mainly I like to look for fabrics and enjoy going to paint stores for colour ideas.
5) What has brought you to this point in your career? And what is your advice for people looking to follow in your footsteps?
Hard work and dedication and the second part of that, hard work and dedication! | <urn:uuid:f7569ce9-7460-4e42-ae8c-8ce512d8463f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.terrysfabrics.co.uk/blogs/designer-insights/designer-insights-with-lynn-goode | 2020-09-27T12:29:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400279782.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927121105-20200927151105-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.949628 | 394 |

Gather the ingredients.
Heat the oven to 350 F.
Butter a 2-quart casserole or baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with 1 cup of the brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, milk, and 1/2 cup of melted butter. Blend thoroughly and spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In another bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of brown sugar, the flour, the remaining 1/4 cup of melted butter, and the chopped pecans.
Sprinkle the pecan topping mixture over the top of the sweet potato casserole.
Bake the casserole for 35 to 40 minutes, until the filling is hot and the topping has browned. Serve and enjoy!
- To make the cooked, cooled, and mashed sweet potatoes, peel 3 large or 4 medium sweet potatoes, cut them into 1-inch slices, and put them in a saucepan. Cover them with water, bring to a boil, and lower the heat to medium-low. Cover the pan and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender. Drain, mash, and let them cool slightly before using in the recipe.
- You can substitute well-drained canned sweet potatoes or yam for fresh ones in this recipe, even though yams are not the same as sweet potatoes.
- Marshmallow Topping: Omit the pecan topping and bake the casserole for 30 minutes. Top with about 3 to 4 cups of mini marshmallows. Return to the oven for 10 minutes, or until the marshmallows are lightly browned.
- Pecan and Marshmallow Topping: Reduce the pecan topping ingredients by about half and sprinkle it around the edge of the baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes, then fill the center with about 2 to 3 cups of miniature marshmallows. Continue baking for 10 more minutes, or until the marshmallows are lightly browned.
- Coconut and Pecan Topping: Combine 1 cup chopped pecans, 3/4 to 1 cup flaked coconut, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/4 cup melted butter. Stir until the mixture is crumbly and sprinkle it over the sweet potato filling.

This casserole will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days if well covered. Just reheat in a low oven or microwave gently until warmed through.
If you want to freeze leftover casserole, transfer to a sealed dish and it will keep in the freezer for up to two months.

Perhaps many of you are well acquainted with USO’s (Unidentified Submarine Objects). These sightings have been widely made by aviators, naval personnel, and civilians alike in many regions of the globe from the Pacific Northwest, to the Pacific Ocean, from the Redondo Trench off the Coast of California to the Atlantic ocean shores of the eastern seaboard of the US and Canada, but Oklahoma?
The early flying saucer frenzy
From 1947 through the 1957 a series of UFO flaps led police officers, Air Force pilots, and citizens on a wild chase that often culminated in the dismissive press conferences of Project Blue Book Astrophysics Consultant, Doctor Allen J. Hynek, whose job it was to debunk major UFO scares whenever large numbers of witnesses were involved. His standard explanations were such objects as weather balloons, the planet Venus, and marsh gasses. Even though Doctor Hynek privately fought for more funding to support more serious research for Project Blue Book in 1953 under the review of the Robertson Panel, he was the point man. The Air Force used J. Allen Hynek’s expertise as an astrophysicist to discredit the reported sightings of witnesses though he was beginning to see the absurdity of his position.
Calm before the storm
After the year of 1957 a relative calm had been experienced over the skies of the US. The public had not gone into a panic over so many UFO flaps occurring over many segments of the American topography as in previous years. Project Blue Book by than had been reduced to nothing more than a public relations branch of the Air Force with more serious sightings going up the ladder to Wright Patterson AFB for thorough technical analysis. This fact frustrated Doctor Hynek as well, who remained in his role as official debunker for the US Air Force.
A nationwide UFO flap unfolds
However, in 1965 the floodgates broke open and the UFO phenomena burst upon the scene with a vengeance. A bright orange aerial object, huge in proportion to the night sky, stunned witnesses in Exeter, New Hampshire. Kecksburg, Pennsylvania was the site of a fiery nocturnal object landing in dense woods that was subject to a rapid recovery effort by the US Army and mysterious death of a local radio reporter. The infamous New York City blackout left thousands trapped in elevators, looting, traffic gridlocked, skyscrapers darkened, and sightings of UFO’s trailing power lines silenced by the authorities. The two man crew of astronauts of the Gemini 2 reported being paced by an unknown object while in orbit to mission control. At Edwards Air Force Base near Palmdale, California 12 UFO’s breached the forbidden air space of the installation. Armed jet interceptors were vectored to aerial targets that proved too elusive to catch up to. Yes, 1965 was a banner year for the ubiquitous UFO, and it didn’t stop there.
The UFO invasion begins
The UFO flap did not ignore the State of Oklahoma either as sightings stretched from across the Sooner State as police and air bases alike responded to reports made by witnesses. The year of 1965 was definitely not a dull year for the Sooner State. According to Donald Farris, author of “More Mysterious Oklahoma” on August 1, 1965 at 1:05 AM Officer Lewis Sikes of the Wynnewood PD made an official police report. According to Officer Sikes the object had a bluish green color with a rotating white light at its center. The UFO moved northeast in the sky of his position in Wynnewood. The object rapidly rose into the sky and then lost altitude again. A Murray County Sheriff’s Deputy confirmed the sighting as well. Meanwhile, Tinker Air Force Base was tracking an object at an estimated `8,000 feet until it was no longer observable. 200 Miles south in Ft. Worth, Texas Carswell AFB was registering unidentified air traffic that apparently had moved on a course north to south into their surveillance corridor.
SO where do all these spontaneous sightings of the surreal lead us to as the skies of Oklahoma are literally inundated with unidentified aerial activity? You might recall that the late Ivan T. Sanderson, well known biologist and TV host to an educational show also served as a World War II intelligence officer. His travels and investigations led him on the trail of USO’s which he never quit looking into until his death in the mid 1970’s. Yet, we must ask ourselves how could a USO manifest itself in Oklahoma of all places? Aren’t most of these USO’s relegated to the ocean bottoms where they are picked up by naval sonar? No sir!
A USO seen in the heart of Oklahoma!
It seems that one fisherman who was boating at lake Hefner in Oklahoma City had a chance encounter that changed his perspective forever and blows the top off the theory that USO’s only dwell in the waters of the ocean. As the man sat in his boat fishing he watched as what he described as a dome shaped flying saucer with a flat bottom emerge from the lake waters as he sat there aghast at something he never would have expected to see. The witness told authorities that he had himself checked into a local area hospital for shock afterward. This fantastic report came in the evening of July 31, 1965.
More UFO’s join the fray
Some 20 additional reports that evening came in from Oklahoma State troopers as various motorists and residents began calling in their sightings. No, that would not be the end to a most colorful Sunday evening that was not about to go quietly into the night as the Sooner State experienced a UFO flap that would not subside for 5 long days in the summer of 1965 the year that the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan show August 14th of that same year. How the extremes of fame and fortune crossed paths with the unknown on that fateful year.
USO sightings have been documented off the coast of Canada’s Shag harbor, off the coast of Redondo Beach in California, and in the fjords of Sweden, but for such an object to rise out of a lake in Oklahoma is quite an eye opener. Sometimes reality is stranger than the very most wicked of fictional pages especially in the Sooner State! | <urn:uuid:e14f819f-5ba2-4ea1-98a3-4e3418108050> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.ufodigest.com/article/a-uso-sighting-from-oklahoma/ | 2020-09-27T14:24:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400279782.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927121105-20200927151105-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.970745 | 1,279 |

Animal Care Level 2
Let’s face it, we all love animals. And what could be a more enjoyable and fulfilling career than working with them? That’s why our Animal Care Level 2 qualification remains one of our most popular courses among younger learners, year in and year out.
What’s great about this qualification is that it can open up a huge number of doors. There are many, many careers involving animal care, and since it seems unlikely that we’ll fall out of love with keeping pets any time soon, you’re likely to enjoy great job security. What’s more, very few schools offer any kind of animal care study programmes and so qualifications of this kind are more important than ever.
Here you’ll learn about all kinds of animals, with a strong focus on common domestic animals which are kept as pets. You’ll find out about animal anatomy, wellbeing, diet and the different diseases which commonly affect our pets and how to prevent and treat them. You’ll even learn the story behind how many species of animal became domesticated. This course is an absolute must for anyone who wants to make a living from their love of animals.
Courses can be taken over a 12 month period but you can complete them as fast or as slowly as you like. Note that you will have access to a tutor who will mark your work and guide you, and will be happy to assist you with any problems you may have.

In the Fall 2017 semester, Academic Technology completed a review of the “lecture capture” service. Faculty who have been using lecture capture provided valuable input to our review of product offerings from Tegrity, Kaltura, and Zoom. The results of the review were presented to ASAC+, the governing body for Academic Technology, on December 7. ASAC+ approved the recommendation to transition from Tegrity to Kaltura’s lecture capture products, starting with the Summer 2018 courses. | <urn:uuid:73ad0e6e-65f7-454f-91d6-bc183e474435> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.unh.edu/it/tags/lecture-capture | 2020-09-27T14:33:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400279782.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927121105-20200927151105-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.95312 | 364 |

About National Instruments Corporation
National Instruments (NI) makes a measurable difference, virtually, in the lab. The company’s products help create virtual instruments that can observe, measure, and control electrical signals and physical attributes such as voltage and pressure. The company's flagship LabView product allows users to create graphical interfaces for controlling instruments and capturing and analyzing data, as well as set up automated functions. In addition, NI provides programming tools, software applications, and hardware products. Its hardware and software products can be used in a modular fashion, depending on a customer’s needs. The Americas accounts for around 40% of sales. The company was founded in 1976.
National Instruments’ products generate about 90% of revenue with software maintenance accounting for the other 10%.
The company offers application software products that include NI TestStand, NI VeriStand, NI DIAdem, NI InsightCM Enterprise, and NI Multisim, which complement the LabVIEW and other NI products and some third-party software.
NI’s hardware and driver software products include Data Acquisition (DAQ) Hardware/Driver Software and a PXI Modular Instrumentation Platform. The DAQ products are instruments on a board that users can combine with sensors, signal conditioning hardware, and software to acquire analog data and convert it into a digital format that can be accepted by a computer. The PXI modular instrument platform is a souped-up PC with modules that address a variety of measurement and automation applications.
National Instruments operates two facilities to manufacture its hardware.
NI is headquartered in Austin, Texas, and it has offices in more than 50 countries, as well as manufacturing plants in Hungary and Malaysia.
The company's geographic sales are not dependent on any single region. The Americas account for about 40% of sales and the Europe, Middle East, India, and Africa (EMEIA) and the Asia/Pacific regions bring in about 30% each.
Sales and Marketing
NI relies on a direct sales force to sell hardware and software to its customer base of 35,000 companies. It also sells through distributors, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), value-added resellers (VARs), system integrators, and consultants.
The company's main customer targets are the semiconductor, transportation, aerospace, and defense industries as well as government agencies. Other areas are academia, electronics, and manufacturing. Customers include Intel, Qorvo, Honeywell, and Mazda.
NI has posted three years of revenue growth and the rate of growth accelerated to about 5% a year in 2017 and 2018. The company notched record revenue and profits in 2018.
In 2018, sales rose to about $1.4 billion, up about $69 million from 2017, driven by higher product and software maintenance sales. The company reported increased sales volume, particularly for orders greater than $20,000, across its geographic regions. Demand increased for NI's products used for validation and production test of semiconductors for 5G wireless network applications. Products for automotive applications also posted higher sales.
NI's net income rose to $155 million in 2018, an increase of more than $100 million from 2017. The difference came from higher sales, a slower rate of increases in expenses, and a lower tax bill.
The company ended 2018 with about $259 million in cash sitting in its coffers compared to $290 million the year before. In 2018, operations generated $274 million, while investing activities used $210 million and financing activities used about $91 million.
NI continues to invest in its focus industries, semiconductor and automotive. The move to 5G networks has spawned a new class of semiconductors that NI's products are used to test. In transportation, the trend toward electric vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) has boosted NI's sales. The company intends to aggressively direct its cash to such strategic areas to accelerate its capabilities in those areas.
NI formed a partnership with Germany-based ETAS to drive automotive business. The companies formed a joint venture, ETAS NI Systems GmbH & Co., which is to be fully operational by Jan. 1, 2020. The venture is to help customers achieve shorter design cycles, reduce test times, and get to market faster. ETAS NI Systems will combine NI’s software-defined platform and input/output capabilities with ETAS’s expertise in developing and integrating hardware-in-the-loop tools.
NI has reoriented its most of its sales to focus on accounts and applications and away from a geographic focus. Some account-based sales teams work to build partnerships with customers with high potential while others work to generate demand from specific customer segments.
NI's business tends to rise and fall with general economic conditions. Slowing economic growth in Europe and China dented sales in parts of 2018. In China, the situation was exacerbated by trade tensions between the US and China.
In the 1970s James Truchard, working at the University of Texas Applied Research Laboratory, was frustrated by the lack of connectivity between the lab's computers and testing equipment. Truchard, who as a kid built homemade radios, founded National Instruments in 1976 with fellow lab employees Jeffrey Kodosky and William Nowlin. The trio raised $13,000, which included part of Truchard's teacher retirement fund savings, and set up camp in a room behind Truchard's garage.
Using Hewlett-Packard's technology for collecting test and measurement data from its own machines, the trio created the general-purpose interface bus (GPIB), a device that links computers to scientific instruments. The devices eliminated the practice of using paper, pencils, and rulers to track instruments. The colleagues' vigor kept the company small but busy. Truchard designed hardware and wrote press releases. Kodosky developed programs and handled customer support.

The UWE used to be one of the hottest wrestling tickets in town, until politics and money issues shattered it, leaving many of us still wondering exactly how it happened. However, before fans could get too frustrated, Pro Wrestling Empire rose to take its place, and so far, each show has been better than the last. The Empire seems determined to build its Kingdom on the backs of the best wrestlers they can find, while still allowing local wrestlers an opportunity to showcase what they have to offer alongside guys like AR Fox, Eddie Smooth, Shane Strikland, Sean Carr, and Façade.
Collateral Damage brings in top names like Fox, and Strickland, once again while also providing local favorites like Stan Styles an opportunity against former WCW and WWE superstar Buff “The Stuff” Bagwell. Let’s take a look at the entire announced card.
The special attraction match is “Sizzling” Stan Styles taking on former WCW/WWF star Marcus “Buff” Bagwell. Bagwell, still not an old man, will be a very tough challenge for Styles, who is trying to use Bagwell to prove that he is the real deal, and should be booked just as much as any of his contemporaries. Styles is never without his valet, Destiny, so Bagwell will have to have eyes in the back of his head here. I’m very anxious to see how this match unfolds, and what Styles has to show.
Central Pennsylvania’s favorite man in pink, Richie Nightmare takes on the very experienced and better traveled Blackwater. While Nightmare has faced stiff competition in the Harrisburg region, Blackwater has trained at the CZW Dojo, and has performed much more regularly. Nightmare has a large following, and will have his “Nightmare Nation” behind him here, as always, and it’s going to take every ounce of energy that they can instill in the former UWE Champion to overcome Blackwater.
Another local favorite, The Mercenary, has been literally begging for more attention and he will get his shot against a mystery opponent. Ever a thorn in the side of Hollywood’s Finest leader, Kevin Murphy, just who does PWE have in store for Mercenary? Will it be someone sympathetic to Hollywood’s Finest? Will it be someone Murphy has hired to come in and take out Mercenary? Will Mercenary be able to step up and prove that he’s got what it takes to step outside the PWE region and go toe to toe with anyone? WDR will be watching this match with notepad in hand, making sure to fairly review the efforts of both men in this match.
The Untouchable Kevin Murphy has been promising all kinds of announcements, and surprises for Collateral Damage, but he first has to take on a longtime nemesis, and the original leader of Hollywood’s Finest, Ryan Kolby. Kolby, one half of Heroes for Hire, will be seconded by his partner Zack Rayne, in an effort to thwart any involvement from Murphy’s stable mates, Eddie Smooth, and Laszlo Arpad. If this can be kept in order it should be a very solid match up with a solid story behind it, going back years. My fear is that it turns into a giant brawl.
In a women’s match we will see Roxanne Steele vs. Tess Valentine, vs Mandy Leon vs Vanity. These four women want to be the first women’s champion, they want to be the woman that is the face of the women’s division of PWE. They want to kill each other! Roxanne Steele has felt disrespected for some time now, as the area keeps bring women in to feature, while she’s been faithful for years now. Tess Valentine also feels overlooked, and doesn’t like Roxanne’s attitude. Mandy Leon is a Ring of Honor star, and major favorite of fans everywhere, and Vanity just wants to kick someone’s ass. The winner of this bout will stake their claim as being THE woman of the PWE, and possibly all of Central Pennsylvania.
In a tag team tournament six teams will battle it out to stake their claim as being legit, and deserving of an eventual shot at the PWE tag team titles. American Adrenaline, The Regulators, The Starlords, Swift Slyde, Horror Core, and The Party Nerds better have the best matches of their careers as many eyes will be on this card and this is the chance of each of their lifetimes to impress? Can they do it? Sure they can, will they? I will let you know with my post show write up.
We now get into the meat of this card, and what better way to introduce that, than with BJ Walker’s “The Icon Hour!” Walker, one of if not the best talker in this region, finally gets his moment with his very own “Pipers Pit” style segment. While we have no idea what Walker is going to do here, I for one don’t care, as I trust it’s going to be great. Have a seat at table three and shut up!
Lance Anoa’I of the infamous Anoa’I family, arrives at PWE along with his opponent Jason Gory. Anoa’I, a high flying, tough as nails, Samoan fighter will have his work cut out for him with Gory, a man that is very difficult to take off his feet and seems to almost enjoy pain! The styles clash here should make for a great match.
Finally, there will be two match ups where the winners will advance to a match that will decide the first ever PWE Champion! Laszlo Arpad, the wild Hungarian and resident beast of Hollywood’s Finest, takes on Kai Katana in a submission match! While Arpad is great at inflicting pain and beating down his opponents, I’ve never seen him concentrate on submissions. Katana on the other hand is very agile, and smooth. He will rely on speed and possibly the use of oriental nerve holds to try and wear down the Hungarian Hero. This match could go either way, but if Katana gets caught in the dreaded “Sword of Attila” he will submit to whatever it is that comes next.
In what is a completely insane bout, four of the best wrestlers in the world today throw their wrestling abilities out the window as they face off in a tables, ladders, and chairs match. AR Fox, Sean Carr, Eddie Smooth, and Shane Strickland will have to try and kill each other if they want to make it to the championship match. My only issue here is, won’t the winner be completely wiped out, and beat up, in the championship match? Won’t either Arpad or Katana have an easier time facing a man that just went through a destructive TLC match with three guys that could main event anywhere on Earth? My other concern is what if the championship match is between Hollywood’s Finest members Laszlo Arpad and Eddie Smooth? Will we get a legitimate match? Or some kind of WCW finger poke of doom scenario? One thing is for sure, if you want to get the PWE championship, you’ve got to go through hell to do so! That’s “wrestling done right!”

Welcome back for more tips on how to take better pictures of your kids. I think the bush has been well and truly beaten at this stage, and you’re probably raring to get started on actually taking some photos. Rubber, meet road.
Taking a picture is all about capturing light on a sensor (could be a frame of film, but for the purposes of these articles I’m talking about digital camera sensors. The principles are identical). There’s a ‘correct’ amount of light you want to capture so that the picture won’t be too dark or too light, and that’s known as exposure.
You have 3 ways to control your exposure (how much light is captured) – aperture, shutter speed and ISO.
These can be simply explained with the metaphor of filling up a paddling pool in the back garden from your hosepipe.
- Aperture is the width of the hosepipe
- Shutter speed is how long you turn on the tap for
- ISO, or sensitivity, is the depth of the paddling pool.
Changing any of these factors determines how long you have to stand there while your 3 year old whines that they want to have a swim Daddy, how much longer, Mummy said they could HAVE A SWIM DADDY!!! Getting back to the point, it determines how quickly you capture the correct amount of light – your exposure.
Each of these settings has an effect on how your photo looks, and they’re all inter-dependent. It’s a complex set of variables, and it takes a loooooot of experience to be able to set them all correctly if you’re doing it manually. Luckily for you, your digital camera contains a small but perfectly formed computer, which works out the best overall exposure for what it sees in the frame.
Your camera has a number of shooting modes. Some of these allow you to directly control all the exposure settings I mentioned before, and then there are the Automatic modes that leave it all up to the camera and its tiny computer to figure out.
There’s a good chance that you’re not interested in hours and hours of practice to learn how to control your camera manually. But since you’re reading this article, I’m going to assume that you’re a little frustrated with getting images that didn’t work out quite as planned. I have one major tip for getting more satisfying results without having to go away for 3 years and do a photography degree:
Get Out Of Idiot Mode.
Idiot Mode is how pro photographers sneeringly refer to the green square, or full Auto, or whatever mode it is where you just point, shoot and let the camera do the rest. The problem with Idiot Mode is that the camera will actually get it wrong a surprising amount of the time. Unless you’re shooting a static object in bright, even light, Idiot Mode is quite likely to give you blurry pictures, pictures that look like you live on the surface of the Sun, or that look like you took them down a well at midnight. Children are not static. Their natural habitat is not bright, even light BECAUSE THEY KEEP WAKING ME UP AT 5AM (could just be mine). You have better options than Idiot Mode.
Your camera probably has some ‘Scene’ modes – those icons of flowers, mountains and whatnot.
I’m going to recommend sticking to the following two modes for the majority of your images. Firstly, there’s Portrait mode. It normally has an icon that looks like a pretty lady’s head:
I think I’m a little in love with her because she’s so silky smooth. This mode will draw attention to the subject (i.e. your child) by blurring the background. You should use Portrait mode for most of your images when kids aren’t moving around too much, or when it’s getting dark.
Secondly we have Sports mode. It should have an icon like a toddler sprinting for the knife drawer, something like this:
This mode attempts to freeze action by increasing the shutter speed. If you’re shooting a child on a bike, running around in the garden, being hurled around on a rollercoaster, basically anything involving fast motion, this is the one to go for. I’d also recommend using flash in this mode, as this will also help to stop fast movement.
It really doesn’t take much effort to flick between one of these two modes depending on your situation. But consistently using this one tip will give very sizable improvements in the quality and consistency of your photographs. give it a go, let me know how it works out for you, and next time maybe we’ll actually start looking up from the controls.

Since we beat Ajax 2-1 two weeks ago, Ajax have drew 0-0 against RKV FC and been beaten 1-0 by Vitesse Arnhem both games at home, so they are not firing well at the second. Celtic meanwhile beat Partick Thistle 2-1 away and drew with Dundee United 1-1. So comparing both teams league form, Ajax picked up 1 point with two home games, we got 4 points from one away, one at home, but we all know come Wednesday, all this goes out the window, we must raise our game
Come Wednesday we will have Samaras, Commons and a few others back, possibly Derk Boerrigter will be fit for this one. Missing Brown is a blow, but if we can get Commons and Samaras back, and stack the midfield, I am guessing a midfield three with Kayal, Ledley and Mulgrew. Commons playing a free role with Stokes up front, Forrest and Samaras on either wing and a back four of Lustig, Ambrose, Van Dijk and Izaguirre. So the back 4 will be as it was. The midfield I think we will see the biggest changes
Ajax I believe are there for the taking, and if we don’t lose this game and beat AC Milan at home, I truly believe we can finish 2nd in this group, not losing on Wednesday I think will guarantee us European football after Christmas, we stay ahead of Ajax on points, we play AC at home as Ajax take on Barcelona.
I said in the first blog I did about the Champions League that if we kept the home form good and got something, anything away, we could get out this group or prolong European football after Christmas. If we can replicate what we did away to AC Milan, I really think we can get a good result on Wednesday. I watched the Ajax game at the weekend where they got beat 1-0 from Vitesse Arnhem and they were very poor and got booed off the park by the fans as they sit 6th in their league
“It’ll be a totally different team [against Ajax],” said Lennon. “We’ll be a lot stronger going into the game. “If we can replicate the performance in Milan we’ve got every chance.” Was what Lennon said at the weekend, he sounded confident, and with Ajax missing a few players and playing poorly, this is a chance for Celtic to really go for 2nd spot in this group

2015-03-03 · Shopping for a home may be exciting and fun, but serious homebuyers need to start the process in a lender’s office, not at an open house. Potential buyers benefit in several ways by consulting with a lender and obtaining a pre-approval letter. First, they have an opportunity to discuss loan options
To prevent this from happening, it’s a good idea to try to pre-qualify for a loan, before you start shopping. At Springs Homes, we do pre-qualification with home buyers as the first step in the home buying process. In order to pre-qualify, you’ll want to meet with a couple of lenders. | <urn:uuid:def6159b-4844-460d-99ea-52926b1d174d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.homesinvirginia.net/2019/10/31/shopping-for-a-home-loan/ | 2020-09-28T21:09:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401614309.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928202758-20200928232758-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.951547 | 737 |
So, I think its about time to write another post, if not for any readers then for myself so that I can look back in a years time and see how things have moved on and to see if I’ve kept my resolution of keeping on top of the books and doing my tax return early. With 4 days to go I have just filed my return for 2012/13, actually quite enjoyed it but I would have enjoyed it more and been able to relax and do some forecasting at the same time if I had not been under so much pressure to get it in quick!
Since dropping the part time jobs in October last year I have been focussing full, full time on the jewellery business, as apposed to the equivalent of full time hours on the jewellery but being knackered because of the part time waitressing, receptionist and bookshop jobs. Now its full time jewellery business with time to relax and sleep between stints in the studio, allowing me to start work everyday with a clear head and the energy to focus fully on the task at hand! It isn’t all plain sailing relying on the business for an income as sales fluctuate and you never really know how things are going to go from week to week, but so far I am happy to say that I can still do my weekly food shop, keep the car running and pay the vet bills (keeping chickens is turning out to be much more expensive than I ever thought possible, seriously, chicken autopsy! Think I might train as a vet next).
A big thanks goes to Emergents and the former HI-Arts, as without their support I most certainly would have had to move to the central belt, their support through mentoring, networking events and bursaries has been essential to my business so far. Knowing that there is someone there at the end of the phone whenever the doubt and “impostor syndrome” set in and having the reassurance that I’m on the right track as well as feeling part of a jewellery community and not in a little bubble of my own. It would be all too easy, working away on my own in the woods, to get stuck in a rut and feel isolated, but due to all the opportunities and trips away I treasure the place I live and work and never feel resentment towards being tied down and settled here on the wild west coast, instead every time I come home over the hills and see the view down the loch I’m itching to get the stove lit in the studio and relax back into work full of ideas and motivation from the trips away.
My plans for 2014 include getting to know the chickens better (the more you watch them the easier it is to spot early signs of illness or other problems, becoming a bit of a smallholder and wannabe chicken expert!) and when not hanging with the chicks I want to focus on finding some more stockists across the country for my new collection. The new work has yet to be professionally photographed, my skills are not up to it, but they are heading to Shannon Tofts studio next week for their shoot and I’ll be launching the collection some time next month. The new collection consists of 10 designs in sterling silver with playful lockets and hidden catches at more purse friendly prices! The first confirmed new stockists are the Diana Porter Gallery in Bristol and the Tayberry Gallery in Perth. It was a pleasure to meet Diana when I was exhibiting with Emergents at the recent CRAFT in London and she picked out the pieces she wanted for her gallery herself, a great compliment from a great jeweller. The collection will be having its Scottish premier at the Tayberry’s 5th anniversary on the 7th of March, Sarah awarded me the Tayberry Gallery prize for my degree show collection back in 2011 and has been stocking my work ever since!
So, no pictures for now, but there may be more instagram pics heading to FB and Twitter, I’m going to try a little experiment, not only for the jewellery side of things but mainly for Isle Martin Trust, to try a tweet a day for a month. They say it takes a couple of weeks for good habits to form so here goes!
You can also follow the twitter feed for Isle Martin Trust to check I’ve been keeping on top of things. | <urn:uuid:2d229a01-1cff-4b5f-800b-481e7ff5ed5c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.merlinplanterose.co.uk/?p=225 | 2020-09-28T21:20:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401614309.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928202758-20200928232758-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.971188 | 890 |

Independent research and technology organisation TWI, also known as The Welding Institute, has announced that it will lead the Open Architecture Additive Manufacturing (OAAM) project. With the contribution of several regional research institutions and global organizations, OAAM is an initiative set to provide the UK aerospace sector with large scale metal 3D printed components.
The government’s Technology Strategy Board Innovate UK is funding the program, and has so far granted contributors over £6.5 million ($8.27 million approx.).
The OAAM program focuses on the development of large-scale directed energy deposition (DED) additive manufacturing, a technique commercially marketed by companies including Formalloy, Optomec and AddUp. The abstract suggests that multiple DED based technologies will be developed throughout the duration of the project, advancing the current capabilities of arc-wire/laser-wire at Cranfield University, and TWI’s electron beam wire and laser-powder/laser-wire processes. Cranfield’s wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) method in particular has already proven an ability to create potentially record-breaking large-scale metal parts.
In addition to TWI and Cranfield, the project will rely on contribution from 8 other bodies: global aerospace giant Airbus, award winning software company Autodesk, Scottish engineering and manufacturing specialist the Glenalmond Group, the University of Bath, University of Manchester, University of Strathclyde, and engineering consultancy firm Isotek Oil & Gas Ltd.
Funding from Innovate UK has been shared out between each body with TWI receiving the lion’s share of $2 million. With an estimated project cost of $1.7 million, Cranfield University was granted 100% of the proposed from Innovate UK. Further numerations are detailed below.
Scaleable, integrated, metal additive manufacturing
The various technologies developed through the project are required to be scaleable; work with common CAD/CAM interfacing; and integrate four traditionally isolated steps of production: non-destructive testing (NDT), machining, inspection and cold-work. Necessarily, the technologies must also conform to aerospace level standards.
Innovate UK’s funding period for OAAM has been initially set to run until December 2020. The goal over the next two-three years it to develop the technologies to Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6, i.e. a functioning demonstration of the method’s capabilities, or Manufacturing Capability Readiness Level (MCRL) 4/5, “Capability to produce the technology in a laboratory environment” or “Capability to produce prototype components in a production relevant environment.” Following this, OAAM technologies will have to pass through three further TRLs or 5/6 MCRLs before they are considered the “highest level of production readiness,” and fully validated for a commercial market.

ADHD, autism or both?
Reaching a diagnostic decision is seldom straightforward and particularly not when a child or adult presents with symptoms that greatly overlap, like they do with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
In these cases, it is not uncommon that a clinician decides that only one of the conditions explains the symptoms, yet with the release of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) in 2013, reaching a dual diagnosis is possible.
Dr Georgie Siggers, Consultant Neurodevelopment Paediatrician, highlights how the complex interplay between the disorders can cause confusion in identifying ADHD. Clinical and genetic studies additionally suggest that ADHD and ASD not only often co-occur but also share genetic susceptibility and data from the 2014 National Survey of the Diagnosis and Treatment of ADHD and Tourette Syndrome (n = 2,464) showed that approximately one in eight children currently diagnosed with ADHD was also diagnosed with ASD .
Importantly, the findings also showed that children diagnosed with both conditions had greater treatment needs and more co-occurring conditions, which further supports the stringent need of a comprehensive assessment. Objective data from QbCheck and QbTest is proven to help identify ADHD alone and to differentiate ADHD from other conditions, including ASD .

On Saturday night Scottish musical talents from near and far descended upon the Tolbooth for the second night of the boutique festival, after the ‘Summer Party’ a few months ago.
Much like the ‘Sofar’ music events that Amy Beveridge reported on recently, the three stages were all extremely intimately set up. Both of the gallery stages were in two small rooms tucked away in the corner of the maze that is the Tolbooth building. One of them was set up so it was almost like the acts were performing in your living room, with acoustic instrumentalists performing in the middle of the square room and the audience standing or sitting against the walls. The other gallery stage and the main stage had more of a regular stage set up, with twinkling fairy lights everywhere and room for the full live bands.
Opening the event on the main stage was rock band Triptych, who opened the night with their blend of metallic riffs and catchy choruses that makes for a great indie sound. Their 30-minute set saw them play original material that their fans know from their gigs at other gigs around the local area as well as a new song, ‘Wonder’. It was great to see that events like this can be such a great platform for local bands, as lead singer Finn Hennessy said it was one of the biggest gigs they’d ever played.
The variety of acts was clear early on, as the crowd was treated to some instrumental acoustic guitar on the gallery stage. Scott Urquhart had everyone mesmerised as he played his guitar. Looking around the room, it was almost as though the audience were in a trance while sitting and watching him in awe.
A personal highlight was Glasgow-based singer-songwriter Emme Woods, whose music had a pop-rock kind of vibe. She was joined on stage by her band, who she had great banter with, joking about spilling her pints in Brewdog beforehand and selling their underpants on their crowdfunding page. She had some great, catchy music and beautiful, raspy vocals that reminded of Stevie Nicks and even early KT Tunstall. Her wee dog Bubbles stole the show, though, dozing at the front of the stage.
With nine acts performing throughout the night, there was a lot more musical variety to come still. From the folk music of the main stage headline act Pictish Trail, to the grungy guitar music of Jason Riddell, and hip-hop artist Shogun from Paisley.

One of my friends that were temporary encouraged me to his house. He explained that he'd have a party to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new person. He told me that there could be a number of friends at the party. It was among these Menisino Manitoba local singles sluts and male friends that I met Josie, a woman half English and half man, who had been the end of the world: fleshy lips, blond, blue eyes and body. I recall after we had dinner that she came with her friend Laura and, as soon as the door, opened, I was stunned by her beauty. I introduced myself to both of these in a somewhat stupid way, as I was able to do up to this instant, but as soon as I did, an incredible fear grew inside me, a lot of anxiety. I needed to fuck local sluts now Menisino. So while both girls were putting down their things in the home and introducing themselves to each of the guests, I went to the bathroom and did something that, considering it, was very useful to me in these three decades of my journey: I looked into my eyes in the mirror also, speaking aloud while also making certain no one was listening to me personally, I said with anger: " Now you go there and talk to her all evening until she falls at your feet, get some balls and take action! ! ! " . The Game was only of picking up pre- set phrases and techniques to make the conversation evolve a set, but I am still surprised about how I could think of something like this. | <urn:uuid:dc03d6e2-c293-4424-9a42-d92189b49e5b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://cklukas.com/local-sluts-manitoba/menisino-mb | 2020-09-28T22:08:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401614309.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928202758-20200928232758-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.97487 | 2,844 |
Imagine how the nature of grief might change should we only embrace this wholeheartedly.
We are living together with the so-called dead. The dead are always present. They move and have their being in a super-sensible world. We are not separated from them by our ‘real being,’ only by our condition of consciousness. We are only separated from them as in sleep we are separated from the things around us; we sleep in a room and do not see the chairs and other things. Though we do not describe it thus, yet as regards our feeling and will, we ‘sleep’ in the so-called waking condition among the dead, just as we do not perceive the physical objects around us when we sleep.
Thus we do not live separated from the world ruled by the forces of the dead, we are together with them in one common world. In our ordinary consciousness we are only separated from them by the state of that consciousness.

I knew it, someone to come up with a way of making sure that people want their posts to be Flamed!
I guess it means many things to many people, but to me it seems simple and worthwhile, a natural extension to the World Live Web, as Doc tends to call it. What is it? You write an explanation for something, anything, that you feel will help others. And then you let people vote for it. Your friends and family can vote for it, helping you kick-start the process. If you succeed, then it rises towards the top of the Technorati search response for the term you seek to explain.
When you do succeed, the entry you make has a little Flame next to it.
So in a way it’s Wikipedia. Each entry is an article, an explanation of something.
In a way it’s Firefly, it’s Amazon ratings, it’s StumbleUpon, it’s Digg. Collaboratively filtered information. A community popularity index.
In a way it’s Google. Ranking information that forms a searchable base and returning results according to some algorithm.
And in a way it’s Technorati. Working primarily in and around the blogosphere.
Some people have compared WTF as purely a Digg competitor. I guess it could become that. If we let it. Personally, I am not interested in yet another way of ranking news stories per se, and that’s what Digg seemed to become. I’m completely uninterested in what Paris Hilton or Britney Spears get up to.
All this reminds me of my favourite Yogi Berra saying:
Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.
If I’ve read Dave correctly, it’s up to us what WTF becomes. To me it represents a golden opportunity to try and solve something, a problem that Wikipedia has not been able to solve so far.
The problem of wisdom-of-crowds versus expertise. Something I’ve written about many times before, one of my pet subjects.
If we use WTF as a means of “voting” for articles on specific subjects, and we make sure that Linus’s Law is made to hold …. there are enough eyeballs …. then maybe we could get somewhere different. The original article writer remains the creator and editor, but the comments made on the article are visible as well. Who knows, maybe the comments themselves get WTFed, with the leading 25 comments always visible.
I think we can come up with something that’s harder to game. No Googlebomb equivalent. No editorial frenzies. I’m not entirely sure why, but there is something about WTF that appeals to me. It may have to do with the fact that overt control is being passed to all of us.
[An aside. A few decades ago, the company I was working for sent me on a Public Speaking course. It was a pretty expensive one, video tapes and playbacks and all that jazz. The guy who ran it was meant to be the guy who trained Margaret Thatcher; a significant portion of the course was spent looking at real footage of Reagan and Thatcher et al; the rest was spent cringing as you watched yourself on tape and got critiqued by all and sundry.
While we covered a lot of material on things like linguistic style and projection and body language and stuff like that, we spent a great deal of time discussing the “devices” available to public speakers. While all this was interesting, what really struck me was something altogether different.
How, according to the course leader, politicians had only one objective: to say something meaningful yet catchy enough to make one of the top three headlines in the evening news. The age of soundbites.]
As I write this, I hear that Digg have stopped publishing their list of top contributors, because people were beginning to game that. There was a market forming, people were paying the guys who showed they could get a story to fly.
As long as we create bottles we will have bottlenecks. Bottlenecks are there to be gamed.
How can we avoid this? We have to make sure there are enough eyeballs.
Each WTF post is a story, part of a conversation. Each has the potential to be a Global Microbrand, as Hugh MacLeod is wont to say. Each has the ability to rise in value within the market where such conversations are held, via the WTF votes. After all, markets are conversations. [Incidentally, when are we going to see Cluetrain 2.0? ]
In the meantime, I’m going to do my best to support WTF. That’s the only way I can learn about such emergent phenomena. | <urn:uuid:eed29bea-61c6-4e00-8bbf-667ee127609f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://confusedofcalcutta.com/2007/02/02/on-wtf-and-yogi-berra-and-related-stuff/ | 2020-09-28T21:13:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401614309.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928202758-20200928232758-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.965892 | 1,014 |

Saudi Invasion of Bahrain

Saudi Arabia Launches Military Operations In Yemen
03/25/2015 7:53 pm EDT Updated: 21 minutes ago
WASHINGTON, March 25 – Saudi Arabia and its Gulf Arab allies launched a military operation involving air strikes in Yemen against Houthi fighters who have tightened their grip on the southern city of Aden where the country’s president had taken refuge, the Saudi envoy to Washington said on Wednesday.
Saudi Ambassador Adel al-Jubeir told reporters a 10-country coalition had joined in the military campaign in a bid “to protect and defend the legitimate government” of Yemen President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi. He declined to give any information on Hadi’s whereabouts.
He told reporters that Saudi Arabia had consulted with the United States but that Washington was not participating in the military operation.

The cultural diversity of the city is booming, and can be seen everywhere, from the mosaics and frescos of the Byzantines and magnificent mosques of the Ottomans. Its history comes alive with each passing day you spend exploring the streets. Pop into one of the many coffee houses known as kahvehani, first invented in Istanbul almost 500 years ago! Visit one of the tea gardens, bustling kebab restaurants and Turkish taverns, all offering plenty of opportunity for daytime excitement. And it doesn’t stop there. This energetic air extends into the city’s vibrant nightlife and into the suburb of Beyoglu containing many of Istanbul’s great bar scenes.
With such a vast history and cultural influence, it’s no surprise that Turkish cuisine has developed into something wonderful. Kebabs, hummus, baba ghanoush are all represented at their best in this city. You can easily find these tasty staples in most countries but experiencing them in their motherland will send your taste buds on a whirlwind of pure bliss. Try the anise-flavored clear brandy, Raki, as well as the orchid and cinnamon drink Salep to experience something that can only be found within Turkish borders.
Dive into the exhilarating hubbub of the city and explore its fascinating layers of history and tranquil sophistication.
Istanbul displays a Mediterranean climate, as experienced more to the south, and both an oceanic and humid subtropical climate if you are more to the north, influenced by the Black Sea. Fall greets its visitors with comfortable daytime temperatures and a variety of different festivals. During the winter, there could be chance of rain and even snow, but temperatures are still bearable, and are not as humid as the daytime temperatures experienced in the summertime.

I first saw George Kollias play live in 2005 with Nile when they opened up for King Diamond at The House of Blues on Sunset in LA. I had never heard anything like that before. I went home from the show speechless and in utter disbelief over his drumming skills.
The week after Nile’s tour stop hits L.A on Tuesday MAY 6 at The House of Blues Sunset, George Kollias has his first ever upcoming boot camp in Woodland Hills, CA from MAY 15TH – 18TH
This is a rare opportunity to see a drumming giant perform and/or get personal instruction from a really great guy with really fast feet.
Last summer (July, 2013), George traveled all the way from Greece and made it in time for the first day of Thomas Lang’s Big Drum Bonanza.
With George’s extreme metal precision and execution, he was a great choice for “The Men Of Metal” portion of the intense 5 day class.
Immediately upon arrival, George was one of the most pleasant people ever and his biggest immediate concern being in America was finding a Starbucks and a Subway. Luckily, both places were within clear site of the event. Once that was out of the way, he was ready to teach.
George was the featured classroom instructor the following day and made his way over to the Drum Channel several times for a few tapings and to give private lessons. His friendly ways and ferocious technique made for a great instructor. This is a great opportunity to experience something that will make you a better drummer and study with and witness such a phenomenal musician.
Some students travelled even greater distances than George to the event. | <urn:uuid:0bc81d24-f63a-4835-a691-3db678c4e453> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://heavymetalhill.com/2014/04/21/george-kollias-upcoming-clinic-in-la-and-show-with-nile-at-the-house-of-blues-sunset/ | 2020-09-28T21:36:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401614309.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928202758-20200928232758-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.976175 | 343 |
In a short and little-noted story Aug. 19, the Cairo Post reported that Qatari diplomat Mohammed bin Abdullah al-Hajri was arrested for hashish possession at the airport upon flying into Egypt. Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a formal apology. There’s a quite an irony here. Qatar is by far the most conservative of the Persian Gulf states. The report notes that relations between Qatar and Egypt have been “frigid” since the ouster of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood president Mohamed Morsi in 2013. When the new regime of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi took over, Egypt returned $2 billion that Qatar had given in aid. Since then, Cario has suspected Qatar of backing the Islamist opposition. And while Qatar has joined the US-led coalition agianst ISIS, it has also been accused of supporting the more “moderate” (sic) jihadists in Syria, like the Nusra Front (which the US is also bombing). And of course Qatar’s jihadist friends in Syria are avidly burning the country’s cannabis fields.
Qatar Online informs us that you can get the death penalty there for drug-smuggling, although the Death Penalty Worldwide website indicates it is very rarely instated. Supposedly more “secular” Egypt also has the death penalty for drug-smuggling—and does instate it. The Daily Mail reported in June 2013 that an elderly British national was sent to Egypt’s death row after being popped for hashish. We haven’t heard that either country will be charging al-Hajri, however.
You can almost predict that those most puritanical about getting high are those most susceptible to the allure of forbidden fruit. Last year, Mohamed Morsi’s own son was arrested for hashish possession by Egyptian police.
But we’ve noted such hypocrisies before. | <urn:uuid:4933a518-28d2-4a39-a47e-55b7ccf942e6> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://hightimes.com/news/world/qatari-diplomat-busted-for-hashish-smuggling/ | 2020-09-28T22:03:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401614309.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928202758-20200928232758-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.958748 | 399 |
Simple ways to activate the blocking of adult sites (of all types and not recommended for children and minors) on PCs and smartphones.
To avoid this danger we can equip the PCs and mobile devices that children use (smartphones and tablets) for block access to adult sites, so you don’t have to constantly check what they visit or where they click.
Obviously these programs and apps do not completely replace our responsibilities as parents: we will always have to check that unsuitable sites are not opened or that the blocks set are not deactivated by mistake.READ ALSO: How to block a site from a router, PC and smartphone
How to block access to adult sites from PC
If we want to block access to adult sites on a Windows 10 computer, we can set the block directly within the browser, by installing a dedicated extension.
The best extension we can try is without a doubt Adult Blocker, available as an extension for Google Chrome.
Using this extension we can effectively block all adult sites, magic sites, betting sites, and other sites dedicated to activities designed for adults and add if necessary also other sites that we do not want to be visited (for example social networks), via blacklist.
If, on the other hand, we want to pass some sites we can have the white list, where to insert the sites to be authorized.
Another very interesting function is the possibility of blocking specific keywords or phrases typed in the address bar or in any search engine: we can thus make the filter very effective even if the site is not yet present in the embedded list.
The extension is really effective in blocking sites and, if your child has strong computer skills, we can set a password to apply the changes to the extension, as well as hide the icon and make the extension operational even in incognito mode.
If we are looking for an extension available for multiple browsers, we suggest you try BlockSite, available as an extension for Google Chrome, and as an extension for Mozilla Firefox.
With this app, we will be able to set different filter levels (Adult, Social, etc.) and thus block access to the pages to minors, who will receive a nice lock screen every time they try to access a prohibited site.
Changes and removal of the app are protected by a password and the app works great even in incognito mode, so you can block adult sites in any situation.
If we do not want to install any extension on our computer we can also rely on parental filter built into Microsoft Edge, the default browser of Windows 10.
By opening your browser settings and clicking on the menu Family Safety we will be asked to create a family group and thus set the various filter levels, so as to make browsing from the Microsoft browser safe for minors.
To learn more, we recommend reading our guide Check how your children use the PC and the internet with Windows Family accounts.
How to block access to adult sites from Mac
If we use a Mac or a MacBook we can rely on the same extensions seen on Windows PCs, since Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and the related extensions can also be installed here.
If we wish instead block access to sites from a Mac or MacBook without using extensions or dedicated apps, we can benefit from the parental controls integrated into the latest versions of the macOS operating system. To apply the blocking of sites, press the Apple symbol at the top left, click on System Settings, and let’s get to the menu Usage Time -> Content and Privacy.
We press the button at the top right Activate, then we put the checkmark on the item Limit adult websites. To exercise an even more effective form of control we remove the checkmark from the items Explicit language in Siri and Dictionary is Search web content in Siri and configure the most restrictive filters in the other tabs present (Store, App is Other).
After configuring this block we press at the bottom left on Options and activate the voice Use Usage Time Code and choose a quick unlock code (different from the account access password).
By doing so, no one will be able to remove the filters set without code, securing all the browsers on the Mac (Safari in the first place but also Google Chrome or others).
However, nothing prevents us from enhancing this block integrated into Apple by also adding the extension seen above, so as to obtain a truly effective blocking of access to sites that is difficult to overcome in all circumstances.
For minors, however, we recommend that you use family accounts on PCs and Macs, so as to be able to apply effective parental control; for more information, we can read our guide on Parental Controls and Parental Controls on PC and the Internet: 5 Ways to Keep Kids Safe.
How to block access to adult sites from smartphones and tablets
Do we wish to block access to sites from a smartphone or tablet with an Android operating system? In this case, we can use one of the many parental control apps, such as Norton Family parental control.
Thanks to this app we can set up an effective filtering system for each app inside the device: the minor will not be able to download apps that are not suitable for him and he will not be able to browse the categories of sites that we will block from our parent account. The app cannot be uninstalled without permission, thus making it an effective control system for minors.
If we are looking for something integrated with the Android system, we can also try Google Family Link, available as a parent app, and an app for children and teenagers.
With these apps, we will be able to set app blocks, time limits for the use of the device, and also block sites not recommended for minors, all manageable through Google Family accounts (we can also receive notifications and permissions from our phone if we are in another room).
If we want to block access to sites from an iPhone or iPad we will not have to install any third-party app, being able to use the same menu seen on the Mac. To configure it, open the app Settings, we press on the menu Usage time, we press on the menu Content and privacy restrictions, we activate the voice present at the top, we press on Content restrictions and finally, we press on Web content.
In the window that appears we press on the item Limit adult websites, so as to immediately activate the filters for minors, if we want to add sites to the block, just press at the bottom on Add website at Never allow.
To prevent the child from removing the block by himself, let’s go back to the path Settings -> Usage Time and we press on the voice Redeem “Screen Time” code so that you can protect the settings from accidental or intentional modification.
To learn more about the use of these parental control apps, we can also read our guide How to limit the use of smartphones and tablets to minors.
How to block access to adult sites via secure DNS
In addition to the programs, extensions, and apps seen so far, we can block access to adult sites by relying on protective DNS filters, designed specifically to protect minors from sites that are not suitable for their age (including gambling and cartomancy sites).
To apply a DNS filter on a PC we will not have to do is open the IPv4 settings of the Wi-Fi connection or Ethernet connection is set up DNS servers of companies offering protective filters.
If we have never changed the DNS servers on the computer, we can do this by reading our guide How to change DNS.
After gaining access to the screen seen in the image above, let’s add the protective DNS servers by choosing from those available below:
- OpenDNS FamilyShield: 18.104.22.168 is 22.214.171.124
- CleanBrowsing: 126.96.36.199 is 188.8.131.52
- Norton ConnectSafe: 184.108.40.206 is 220.127.116.11
If we want to apply these filters also from an Android smartphone or tablet, just use the app dnspipe, available for free from the Google Play Store.
The protective DNS filters are among those present in the basic list included in the app: all we have to do is select them, authorize the VPN connection (actually it’s a trick to filter Internet requests, it’s all local) and enjoy the new DNS protective.
If we use an iPhone or an iPad we can quickly change the DNS using the app DNS Changer, available for free from the App Store.
The app allows you to apply protective DNS on all types of connections (network and Wi-Fi), so you can protect devices at any time of the day.
To learn more, we recommend that you read our guide How to change DNS on Android and iPhone.
Blocking access to adult sites or sites that we do not want to be seen by minors is relatively simple, just use one of the methods provided in the guide and adapt it to our needs as parents. At the time of writing, the simplest methods involve using the parental controls included in Microsoft Edge or using one of the extensions seen for Chrome and Firefox.
From mobile, on the other hand, it is always advisable to rely on the methods integrated into the device (on iPhone and iPad) or, alternatively, use the apps developed by Google to keep minors in-band (on Android).
As a form of control for PC, we can also use the tools seen in our guides block sites on your PC or limit time on Facebook, Youtube or others is how to block websites on smartphones. | <urn:uuid:ebed2d1b-b7ba-45a2-b12a-aeb9dcf2154d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://how2do.org/how-to-block-access-to-adult-sites-from-pcs-macs-smartphones-and-tablets/ | 2020-09-28T21:51:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401614309.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928202758-20200928232758-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.908282 | 1,962 |

As I said on my previous blog.. If given the chance to change the term “Hump Day” then I would call it “Rest-Day Wednesday”.. No matter how I tried, my mind and body just dislike Wednesday.. BUT!!! I found something that kept me company throughout my busy day.. This may sound pathetic or insane but Hey! Whatever works.. Right??
I have this balloon in my cubicle for awhile now and today it’s about to retire.. It’s still floating but not as high as it was.. So I decided to draw a smiley face with a pretty pink blush to make me smile every time I glance at it and TAAADDAHHH!!! It worked! It even made my colleagues smile and laughed at the same time..
What’s important is….I made it through the day and now I am off and is heading my way home!!
My thought of the day- “Find ways that will cheer you up” in a crazy busy day! 😊👍😜 | <urn:uuid:76e09d3d-cc38-4880-9de0-2636b79d968d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://mystyleinsideout.com/2015/02/04/here-we-go-again/ | 2020-09-28T22:25:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401614309.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928202758-20200928232758-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.946601 | 219 |
Roundworm—Schistosoma causes Schistosomiais (Swimmer’s itch) or Bilharziasis
Schistosomiasis, also known as bilharziasis, swimmer’s itch or snail fever, is a primarily tropical parasitic disease caused by the larvae of one or more of five types of flatworms or blood flukes known as schistosomes. All five species are contracted in the same way, through direct contact with fresh water infested with the free-living form of the parasite known as cercariae. The building of dams, irrigation systems, and reservoirs, and the movements of refugee groups introduce and spread schistosomiasis. Eggs are excreted in human urine and feces and, in areas with poor sanitation, contaminate freshwater sources.
The eggs break open to release a form of the parasite called miracidium.
Freshwater snails become infested with the miracidium, which multiply inside the snail and mature into multiple cercariae that the snail ejects into the water.
The cercariae, which survive outside a host for 48 hours, quickly penetrate unbroken skin, the lining of the mouth, or the gastrointestinal tract. Once inside the human body, the worms penetrate the wall of the nearest vein and travel to the liver where they grow and sexually mature. Mature male and female worms pair and migrate either to the intestines or the bladder where egg production occurs.
One female worm may lay an average of 200 to 2,000 eggs per day for up to twenty years. Most eggs leave the blood stream and body through the intestines. Some of the eggs are not excreted, however, and can lodge in the tissues. It is the presence of these eggs, rather than the worms themselves that causes the disease.
Symptoms of Schistosomiasis infection: Many individuals do not experience symptoms. The first symptom of the disease may be a general ill feeling. Within twelve hours of infection, an individual may complain of a tingling sensation or light rash, commonly referred to as “swimmer’s itch,” due to irritation at the point of entrance. Other symptoms can occur two to ten weeks later and can include fever, aching, cough, diarrhea, or gland enlargement.
With intestinal Schistosomiasis obstruction of the colon and blood loss can occur. Potbelly look, high blood pressure, enlarged spleen, ascites (build up of fluid in the abdomen), swollen areas in the esophagus and sometimes nervous system can be affected.
With urinary tract Schistosomiasis there is blood in the urine with associated iron deficiency anemia, pain upon urinating, increased frequency of urination, blocked urinary tracts and sometimes bladder cancer.
Diagnosis of Schistosomiasis: Malaria, typhoid and scabies all have to be ruled out as they look very similar to Schistosomiasis. Has the patient traveled to third-world countries? Is the eosinophil white blood count elevated? Are there eggs evident in the urine or feces? Blood in the urine? Don’t hesitate to repeat fecal tests several times as the eggs may not show up for several months. There is an antigen test for the Schistosoma parasite although it may not be readily available in the United States. Ultrasound, CAT scan and MRI may be indicated to detect damage to the blood vessels, liver and to detect polyps and ulcers caused by the parasite.
Treatment of Schistosomiasis: Praziquantel (Biltricide), oxamniquine (intestinal signs), metrifonate (for urinary forms)
Prevention of Schistosomiasis: Water systems must be treated to kill the worms and control snail populations, and sanitation must be improved to prevent the spread of the disease.
Prevention Tips for Schistosomaisis in Endemic Areas:
- Contact the Center for Disease Control for current health information on travel destinations.
- Upon arrival, ask an informed local authority about the infestation of Schistosomaisis before being exposed to freshwater in countries that are likely to have the disease.
- Do not swim, stand, wade, or take baths in untreated water.
- Treat all water used for drinking or bathing. Water can be treated by letting it stand for three days, heating it for five minutes to around 122°F (around 50°C), or filtering or treating water chemically, with chlorine or iodine, as with drinking water.
- Should accidental exposure occur, infection can be prevented by hastily drying off or applying rubbing alcohol to the exposed area. | <urn:uuid:0b51d763-970a-4b07-90e5-93b7c85ce121> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://naturalhealthtechniques.com/specificdiseasesparasite_docsschistosoma_roundworm/ | 2020-09-28T22:17:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401614309.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928202758-20200928232758-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.914125 | 967 |

After five months of repairing and retooling the Booster Neutrino Beamline, on June 22 members of the Accelerator Division successfully delivered beam to the BNB.
The previous horn (BNB-2) was found to be inoperable in January when it was determined its cooling was no longer working adequately. A new horn, BNB-3, was installed, and beam returned last week.
Not only was the horn cooling working poorly, but also the equipment to move the horn into and out of place, the adjuster platform, would no longer operate. (It had been designed for a very short, few-year run. It has now been 13 years.) A team in the Target Systems Department led by Kris Anderson rapidly devised, fabricated, installed and operated a new adjuster platform. They also developed a procedure to remove the BNB-2 horn, bypassing the inoperative adjuster platform. Finally, they put in place a new procedure to remove the original platform itself, which had been built in-place.
The BNB will continue to operate until the accelerator shutdown, scheduled to begin July 4. After the shutdown ends in October, it will provide beam for a three-year run of the MicroBooNE experiment. In the long term, members of the Accelerator and Neutrino divisions are developing plans to modify the BNB to provide a more intense beam for the Short-Baseline Neutrino program.
The target hall operation required rapid innovation, often on the spot, to deal with devices that had not been designed for this work. Congratulations to the Accelerator Division on this challenging operation and the return of the neutrino beam.

OLS Faith Formation
Director: Loren Christie / 631-363-6394 / email at: [email protected]
Virtual Classroom: olsvc.blogspot.com
Our Lady of the Snow Faith Formation Program strives to bring all parishioners into a closer relationship with Jesus through Word, Worship and Service. We seek to prepare children in grades 1 through 9 for the lifetime journey towards this relationship. Included in our program is catechesis for grades 1 through 9 and preparation for the celebration of the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation. Registration starts in April. Lessons are compiled by the Director of Faith Formation, a New York State certified teacher, using a variety of diocesan- approved resources, and reviewed by our Faith Formation Catechetical Board. For all levels, instruction is provided through onsite classes with catechists, at home learning through our virtual classroom, (olsvc.blogspot.com), and most importantly, through encouraged participation in Mass. In the event of the extraordinary extended closing of schools, our instructional program will continue, fully virtual.
Levels 1 and 2
Our Diocese (of Rockville Centre) requires a two-year (Level 1 and Level 2) preparatory program for First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. During the course of these two years there will be instructional and informational meetings for the parents/families, as well as instructional content provided on our virtual classroom.
Level 1 (usually first grade) is a 3 part program. The first and most important part is participation in the Mass. Children should attend and participate in the weekend Mass with their families. Which Mass they attend is the decision of the family. The second part is the catechesis or instruction. In Level 1 children are taught by their parents/families at home through the Level 1 content on our virtual classroom. The third part of the program is communal. There are monthly (October thru May) parent and child meetings held at the parish between the Sunday Masses, in order to make it more convenient to attend a Sunday Mass.
Level 2 (usually second grade) children are placed in onsite classes that meet twice per month. The classes start in October in the large church. The children will be preparing for the Sacrament of Reconciliation during the Advent season and then for First Eucharist in the spring. There will be instructional and informational parent meetings during the course of the year both onsite and through our virtual classroom.
Levels 3 thru 5
This is the ongoing catechesis (learning) to grow in relationship with God and to prepare for a life of following Jesus (discipleship). Communal prayer, Gospel readings and reflection precede each session with students learning at a grade level table with a catechist twice per month. In addition, students complete a monthly project through our virtual classroom. Emphasis is placed on being a participating member of the faith community particularly with regard to participating in the Sunday Liturgy.
Level 6, 7, 8 and 9
This is a preparation program for Confirmation and for the Catholic Christian way of life. Emphasis is placed on integrating what has been learned into daily life and practice. Catholic Social Teaching is explored in these levels, starting with the dignity of human life in Level 6, care of the environment in Level 7 (in keeping with the ideas of Pope Francis in his encyclical Laudato Si), and basic concepts from St. Pope John Paul II’s Theology of the Body in grades 8 and 9.
Levels 6, 7 and 8 meet twice per month on weekday nights for onsite catechesis. Students complete monthly online projects through our virtual classroom. Parents/families will join their students for speaker Nights, prayer and activity nights and parent meetings during the year. There will be a parent/child Confirmation Information Meeting in June of Level 8 to prepare for the Level 9 Program.
Level 9 is the immediate preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Catechesis will occur once a month on assigned Wednesday evenings. Candidates for the Sacrament of Confirmation will be formally enrolled in the Program in October. Other activities will include a Sponsor/Mentor Event and a Retreat opportunity. These candidates are encouraged to participate in the events of Holy Week and the Sacred Triduum. Emphasis will be placed on stewardship and service and most importantly on participating in the Sunday Liturgy.
The Faith Formation office is dedicated to a constant policy of improving the program with the goal of meeting the needs of the children and families of the parish. Perspective catechists should be faithful Catholics, able to give of themselves spiritually to the children. They should have time to review and prepare for the provided onsite lesson plans with the support of the Director of Faith Formation. They should attend informational and training sessions virtually and onsite. They agree to a Background check by the Diocese and participate in the VIRTUS training session for the Protection of Children. They also receive training through diocesan provided classes. All training is designed to prepare catechists for the important ministry of sharing faith with our young people.

The value of an art collector’s relationship with their art dealer cannot be underestimated. But how do you find a reputable art dealer? A good rule of thumb is that the best dealers are usually members of a professional association such as the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA) or the Society of London Art Dealers (SLAD).
These bodies don’t just let anyone join: members have to be nominated, vetted and demonstrate a proven track record in order to become a member.
Dorsey Waxter, ADAA’s president, explains the year-long process that leads (for some) to membership: “A potential candidate has to be promoted from within the association with a proposer and four other seconders.
“Along with the letters of recommendation which begin the process there are visits to the gallery that are made by members of the committee, there is round table discussion and a series of meetings about the dealer’s gallery addressing the artists that they show, and what they have published about their artists – a very important part of membership is scholarly publications, and depth of knowledge in a particular field.
“At the end of that process the whole membership can vote on whether the dealer becomes a member. We look for longevity, seriousness, history of doing business; the whole process ensures that they are a stable gallery with a history and integrity that will stand behind work that’s sold.”
All of these steps help safeguard the collectors who buy from their members. SLAD has a similarly stringent admissions policy.
“We try to set standards for the art trade,” Christopher Battiscombe, director general of SLAD. “We like to think that all our members live up to very high standards and the general public can have confidence that when they are buying from one of our members that the dealer concerned does have a high standard of honesty and good practice and also knows what he’s talking about.
“They are people who have a very high level of stock and very extensive knowledge of the artists in which they deal.”
In the US, the ADAA sets out to be recognised as the gold standard in art dealing, with members that collectors can trust implicitly.
“That’s what we stand for, and I think that is extremely important because for a long time art dealers have the reputation of being ‘horse traders,’” says Linda Blumberg, ADAA’s executive director. “We have tried mightily to break that negative image that sometimes can pervade the press.”
Battiscombe agrees that professional bodies such as the ADAA and SLAD provide an added layer of protection for buyers.
“If a collector has a problem with one of our members, they can always come to us,” he says. “It doesn’t happen very often – more commonly I get calls from people who are unhappy with a painting they bought from someone who is not a member, in which case there is not much I can do.”
Associations such as the ADAA and SLAD are not only concerned with ensuring buyers can trust their dealers; they also recognise the value of a dealer’s relationship with the artists they represent, and their ability to nurture their artists’ careers.
“We try to illuminate the many ways in which a gallery contributes to the growth and nurturing of an artist,” says Blumberg. “This is something that galleries do quite exclusively, unlike any other person in the art field. It’s about choosing and presenting, documenting, and having a long term relationship.
“In many cases dealers have relationships with artists that span decades. The dealer frequently knows more than curators might know about a particular artist.”
By buying through a dealer, as opposed to at an auction, a collector has access to a great deal of accurate information about the artist they are collecting and about each piece of work they buy. This should be the case whether you are collecting work by an emerging artist or by an artist with a long career history.
“It’s incumbent on the dealer to be able to provide complete and accurate information about the authenticity and history of the work, and in the case of living artists to be able to portray what it is that the artist is presenting,” says Waxter. “The key here is for the dealer to be an open book and be able to have available information for any collector to be able to partake of.”
Battiscombe adds that because dealers want to nurture their relationships with collectors, they will often go above and beyond what they have to do in order to maintain confidence with their collectors.
“They have to stand behind their judgement, and the collector should have confidence that the dealer knows what he’s talking about and that the art which they sell is what they say it is,” he says.
Such is the expertise available through its members that the ADAA has its own appraisal department.
“This department came about in order to try to be more compliant with the reality of the market,” says Blumberg. “We have the luxury of being able to turn to 180 members as well as people outside of the association – so we have a tremendous depth of knowledge to call upon.”
While selling for a profit is an appealing aspect of collecting, Waxter says it is important to recognise that you are making a long term investment, and that the collecting process is about more than just financial gain.
“Right now, if you go into a gallery and buy a work of art, you can’t expect to sell it for a profit six months later. This is not why dealers are in business,” she says.
“Dealers are in business to promote culture and a response to something that you think is life enhancing – it’s an important part of all of our lives and of society as a whole. Art enriches us in ways that have much more to do with our inner workings than just the marketplace and making the bucks.”
“I think artists are in the forefront of a real dialogue, a real cultural discourse, and the most pleasure can often come from participating in and being part of that discourse,” adds Blumberg. “You can do that as a curator, and as a director, but you can also do it by collecting.” | <urn:uuid:dfbe2c62-e233-4bf7-be1d-cc4be2a7949f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://privateartinvestor.com/art-business/art-dealers-associations-what-they-mean-for-collectors/ | 2020-09-28T22:16:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401614309.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928202758-20200928232758-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.974918 | 1,346 |

Many of you will have met Alison, and even more of you will have worked with her. Afterall, she’s the backbone of our project’s team and is always there to ensure deadlines are met and you’re kept happy. But what’s it like to be Alison for the day? Well, we found out…
1.When and how did your Rawww journey begin?
9 years ago, I was in my third year at Coventry University studying Graphic Design and I bumped into Lewis at a feedback workshop. He looked and liked my work, and I was eventually offered a placement – the rest is history. Little did I know my Rawww journey would be 9 years and counting! Feels like yesterday.
2.Did you always want to work in the creative industry, or did you have any other dream jobs?
Yes, it is in the Rowley genes, my mum is very creative, amazing at drawing and loved to make her own clothes, and my brother is an architect. It all started at infants school, we were tasked to make a card for our mums and instead of making a stand A4 folded card as we were all asked to, I made a pop up card in a different format… even though it wasn’t my best attempt, the teachers were impressed and thought my ‘out of the box’ thinking was pretty impressive!
I’ve always had a love for design, typography and appreciated good brands and what they stand for. My goal was always to be in the creative industry and that has never changed.
3. When did you first get involved with project management?
The best way to learn about anything is to throw yourself in the deep end. And that’s exactly what I did when I delved straight into project management in my early days at Rawww. I think my first ever management project was some online display banners and animating frame by frame in Flash 8… yes Flash 8… how things have changed!
4.What does your average day look like at Rawww?
Every day is different and seems to go too fast to remember… but I like to keep busy. My day starts off co-ordinating the team, scoping creative briefs combined with client calls and work scheduling – and then whatever the day might throw at me. From web strategy and branding to concepts and artwork design – I’ll get stuck in!
5.What’s your proudest moment at Rawww and why?
There are many proud moments, it is hard to choose. One that sticks in my mind is the rebrand we did for BID Services, a sensory loss charity in Birmingham. I always love working on a brand project from start to finish and we got to do exactly that. We really got the chance to get under the skin of who BID Services really are and what they stand for, and use this to create a brand that blew their competitors out of the water. This was a rebrand that really made a difference to the charity and those who needed it most.
6.What’s been your biggest work challenge so far?
Another tough one, who created these questions? My biggest work challenge is and always will be, the task of (what I call) ‘keeping all the plates spinning’ in other words, making sure projects are moving and on track from day to day.
All clients and projects are different so processes and management strategies need to be tailored accordingly. We’re lucky that the team here are so versatile, so we have the right combination of creative bods to make this work pretty much every time.
7. What are your design trend predictions for the next 12 months?
2 letters: AI. The growing use of artificial intelligence and the use of voice command in search is totally going to change how we design, write and our SEO strategies. We will need to keep things simple, to the point to make life easier for those with busy lifestyles who don’t have much time. Also I find it fascinating how the e-commerce market is changing the mindset of shoppers, we are able to try clothes and furniture virtually in our own home via the web and apps without the need to go out. So I can see this being a big shift in the way we design too. I am worried that the human interaction might become a thing of the past!
8.What design trends do you think will soon fizzle out?
Probably complex and detailed logos. Branding needs to be versatile and used on so many different platforms and in so many sizes, simplicity is the way forward. I still see the use of too many heavy drop shadows and some clients still using Internet explorer 7, so hopefully these will fizzle out too
9.What are your marketing trend predictions for the next year?
- Data visualisation – clients are becoming more savvy and reliant on stats to retain customers and trust so visualising these in marketing is a clever way of doing this,
- Chatbots – They’re clever, quick and give you the answers you need, when you need them. It’s a no brainer that we will see more of these in 2018
- Customer experience – Trust is something that Google is changing its algorithms to adhere to everyday, so it’s something we’ll need to design and market for more and more.
- The rise of video – Even though it is already a trend, I can see video playing an even bigger part in marketing next year
10.Word on the street is that you’re a big fan of slippers. Which are your favourite pair?
Of course, I love a pair of slippers…in fact I have 6 pairs including a pair here in the studio under my desk (what better way to feel creative that trotting around in slippers). My Mahabis are my favourites, they were a 30th gift from the lovely guys and gals here in the office.
11.Between Percy Pigs or Cadbury’s chocolate fingers, which gets your vote?
Difficult one, it used to be chocolate fingers…but as I’ve grown older (but perhaps more childish) Percy Pigs beat chocolate fingers hands down. | <urn:uuid:5772588a-3a6f-49d3-ad98-73ab90866373> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://rawww.com/team-rawww-meet-alison/ | 2020-09-28T21:27:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401614309.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928202758-20200928232758-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.96607 | 1,287 |
...to the other end of the pendulum. i am all for protest and boycotts when you think the cause is justified. but the burning of buildings and destruction of property? not a fan. yeah, and i have a problem with the death threats and the additional pictures never being published by the Danish newspaper being attributed to the newspaper.
unless the muslim communities get it together and protest in a peaceful and organised way, they will lose what support they have from people outside the muslim communities.
and oh yes, Fleming Rose should still keep quiet. indefinately. | <urn:uuid:5d6058cb-c7ca-4084-abd9-eb1935823682> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://rcornelius.livejournal.com/181059.html | 2020-09-28T22:24:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401614309.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928202758-20200928232758-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.964989 | 116 |
Question: Does my child’s fidget spinner have unsafe levels of lead?
Answer: This video has 31 answers in just 90 seconds! [Scroll down to watch the video at the bottom of the post.]
The video linked below shows the test results for 31 of the “fidget spinners” I tested (in no particular order), using an XRF instrument [testing of these was done in June of 2017]. In this batch, 45% of the spinners tested positive for at least some amount of lead.
In watching this video you will get a good sense of which types of spinners are likely to be lead-free, which are likely to have high (unsafe) levels of lead and which ones you just cannot tell from looking at them!
If you are interested in more information about this concern, please consider watching the three-minute piece done by CBS This Morning about my work finding lead in fidget spinners (from 2017.) [LINK]
There are separate posts with photos of many of the fidgets in this video here on this blog. The video is just 90 seconds long. Thank you for watching, and for sharing.
In my advocacy, I get challenged by companies and others who don’t like the testing results I publish here on my blog (or companies that don’t like other truths I share about their work practices or products). The only way I can keep doing what I do is through the support of my readers, like you.
Anything you contribute will help cover the costs of my advocacy work, including helping to cover the cost of renting an XRF instrument – so that I can continue to do independent consumer goods testing I do (and can continue sharing the results with the public here on my blog!)

Google Translate is an awesomely wonderful tool which lets us read text in other languages. It’s built in to Chrome (which is why I stick with that browser), and accessible as a bookmarklet in other web browsers and via a webpage.
It’s a great tool, but it has a limitation: the browser version can’t translate text in an image. To name one example, if a product listing has a description embedded in an image, Google Translate can’t tell you what it says.
This is a problem for anyone who wants to follow tech news in other languages, but fortunately there is a workaround ( and I don’t mean have someone read it to you).
– – –
I have a trick which works, but before I tell you what it is I want to direct your attention to Project Naptha. This is a browser extension which is supposed to let you copy text out of images, and (if you’re lucky) translate the text. Project Naptha doesn’t work for me on Chrome but it might be a viable option for you and it is worth trying.
– – –
The mobile version of Google Translate has the ability to translate text in a photo taken with your camera, and if you don’t mind fiddling with your Android smartphone you can use that feature to translate the text in images you find on the web.
It’s not a simple process, but I have made it work. For example, I used this trick to find out information for the Kindle Oasis post this morning.
– – –
Update: Actually, it is a simple process. A reader has informed me that I was doing things the hard way. The easy way is to transfer the images to your mobile device, and then use the Google Translate app to access the images and translate them.
You can open the images in the app by first selecting the camera option, and then selecting the gallery option. The app can pull images from local memory or Google Drive.
– – –
Here’s how it works.
Here’s the hard way.
First, you’ll need to have a mobile device, either Android or iPhone/iPad. You will also need a second device, either a PC or another mobile device.
This trick requires two devices, yes. Let’s call them D1 and D2.
Then, open the image you need to translate on your second device, D2. Make sure the image is clearly visible on the screen of D2. Finally, point D1’s camera at the screen of D2, and use the Google Translate app to take a photo.
Theses photos might help explain things a little better. You can click to enlarge the images.
What you see is my Android tablet (D1), running the Google Translate app and in the process of taking a photo of my laptop’s screen (D2). After I take the photo, I use the Google Translate app to translate the text.
And that is how I translated the product images I wrote about this morning.
O O O
All in all, this is not a convenient, efficient, or reliable way to translate text, but if you are desperate then it can be made to work.
But be prepared to have to tweak the process as you go along, and plan on taking several photos for each one you translate into text. It’s also not a fast process.
P.S. If you know of a better solution, please leave a comment. I need something better than this, and I’m not the only one.

The hardest part about bursting the Butler Bubble is finding out where to go, when to go there, and how to get there. This process can be easily mapped out on the Do Stuff app.
This app gives users the ultimate experience in many large cities. To access what is going on in Indy, just click on “317.”
The app has different categories of things to do in Indy—concerts/live music, food/wine/dining, arts/culture/film, clubs/dancing/karaoke, drink/food specials, and sports/recreation/outdoors.
You can select one of the categories and you will be shown a list of special events. All of these events are up-to-date or upcoming.
Under the concerts/live music category, users are shown a list of concerts and artists that are in or will be in Indy. You can even buy tickets to concerts and events through the app. My favorite feature is that the app holds drawings for concert tickets. All you have to do is search through the concerts, find one that you would enjoy, and click “win” then you are entered to win tickets.
There is also a “Free Event” section to give users opportunities to explore the city on a budget perfect for all college students!
Another interesting section to explore is the, “Best Places to Make Out in Indy” section under the discovery tab. You can find the perfect places to take your significant other for a romantic night on the town.
If you are looking to explore Indy more and really burst your bubble, the app will give you great ideas on how to do just that. It is easy to maneuver and gives the best information on the most sought-after events happening in Indy. | <urn:uuid:be8939df-f879-4a19-a3d3-dfed216227ab> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://thebutlercollegian.com/2016/02/the-app-that-bursts-the-butler-bubble-for-you/ | 2020-09-28T22:09:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401614309.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928202758-20200928232758-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.939187 | 388 |
Credit card help solutions are available to consumers from many sources. There are certainly no shortage of individuals and companies who will offer any variety of claims to help in dealing with your credit card debt. It can be hard to decide where to turn for the best advice and real solutions. When researching your options in companies and services offering credit card help, it’s important to fully understand what options are available, what is required and how you can quickly get started on the path to financial recovery. You also want to be sure the service you are using is a trusted source that is not making unrealistic claims or who may put you further behind. If you have found yourself in need of credit card help, get the answers you need along with personalized guidance from Trident Debt Solutions – a small boutique firm led by bankruptcy attorney, Stephen T. Craig. Here you will get personal attention and in-depth advice. Turn to the trusted and knowledgeable resource that has worked with hundreds of people just like you who needed credit card help. Let us help you make sense of the options in credit card help.
Until recently, the debt relief industry was largely unregulated. Unfortunately, this opened the door for many less experienced and less knowledgeable services that were seeking to take advantage of this situation. For that reason consumers need to be wary of the choices and information provided on credit card help – there are still people who would not hesitate to take unfair advantage of those in desperate straits.
Those seeking credit card help may not know where to turn or more importantly, whom to trust. A bit of due diligence on your part will go a long ways toward ensuring that you find the credit card help you need from a reputable, trustworthy source.
Your first step should be to visit the Better Business Bureau and check on the firm’s reviews. Until recently, the BBB would not even accept debt resolution firms as members or grant them accreditation. The fact that a firm does have BBB accreditation is a very good sign. However, be sure to find out if there have been any unresolved complaints against the company. Even the best firm may have a complaint or two against them, but if these have not been resolved – or if there is a large number of complaints on file – that is a warning sign.
Insist on getting three references from past clients.
You should also beware of firms that make unrealistic promises. For example, if a company claims they can remove negative information from your credit report that is nonetheless accurate, or offers to eliminate all of your debt without bankruptcy, you need to be skeptical.
Learn all you can about the people who will actually be assisting you with your credit card issues. What are their credentials? What experience do they have? The unfortunate truth is that virtually anyone can claim to be a “credit counselor” and hang out his or her shingle. Make certain these counselors have the training and experience to handle your case effectively. You best bet is to hire an attorney with debt settlement and bankruptcy experience.
Finally, learn all you can about any and all fees. A reputable firm will be very transparent on this score; you will be informed about all costs for services rendered and what these costs cover. These fees should also be reasonable and not interfere with your ability to pay off your obligations. | <urn:uuid:37df90cb-1d3d-4744-a9b1-c768fe743dfc> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://tridentdebtsolutions.com/where-to-turn-for-credit-card-help/ | 2020-09-28T21:10:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401614309.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928202758-20200928232758-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.967386 | 665 |

The Power of Brand Advocacy During the Holidays
How Brand Advocates & Assisted Sales Can Take Your Retail Profits to Another Level This Holiday Season
As the calendar transitions to November, retailers across the country are gearing up for their biggest two months of profit, where monthly purchase volumes and average order values skyrocket and buyers tend to spend an average of 17% more on each order compared to the rest of the year.
According to the National Retail Federation, sales are expected to increase 3.6% across the board in 2016. Retailers are also expected to hire between 640,000 and 690,000 seasonal workers this year.
By now, hopefully you have realized that an online presence for product-based retailers is essential. What you may be missing is an omni-channel presence, where all your digital bases are covered and the in-store experience you provide is unmatched. Brand Advocacy services from BDSmktg might be the missing piece of the puzzle when it comes to driving in-store sales, but first let’s take a look at the current state of retail.
Current Retail Trends & Projections for the Holidays
As technology develops and consumers assimilate to new shopping opportunities, the state of retail is always changing. We recently outlined several of the current trends here, particularly the value of in-store shopping experiences.
Generation Z shoppers generally prefer spending money on experiences over material possessions. As a result, brick-and-mortar stores are implementing memorable and adventurous shopping experiences, such as interactive storefronts, eye-catching displays, product demonstrations, virtual reality tunnels and much more.
You may be thinking – with the continued increase in the amount of online shoppers, is it worth it for retailers to invest so much in their in-store experience? It’s a fair question. However, research has shown that digital shoppers often bring higher store traffic, conversion and spending to physical locations. In many cases, they use mobile digital experiences to supplement their in-store shopping, not replace it.
How Can Brand Advocacy Services Enhance the In-Store Experience?
The most luring and important aspect of BDS’ Brand Advocacy services are the passionate, knowledgeable and engaging Assisted Sales Representatives we hire to be an extension of your brand. Our ASRs are well-trained in creating those much-desired memorable in-store shopping experiences and driving sales at the last three feet. While consumers are more informed than ever, sometimes too much information leads to indecisiveness and anxiety. The value of speaking face-to-face with a subject-matter expert shows its worth over and over in these cases.
Market Development and Research is also a crucial aspect in competing with giant online retailers such as Amazon. The consumer insights and market intelligence that we provide through our Brand Advocacy Services will help you market to your consumer base in a way that Amazon cannot.
Between an in-person presence on the retail floor, Brand Shops that allow you to deliver state-of-the-art product demonstrations, and market level insights that help you make informed decisions, Brand Advocacy services from BDS can make a huge difference to your bottom line this holiday season. Combine that with your ongoing digital promotions and ecommerce sales, and you’ll be set to destroy your competition. | <urn:uuid:38724df2-c4bc-4153-85e6-334aa2095715> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.bdsmktg.com/power-brand-advocacy-holidays/ | 2020-09-28T21:33:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401614309.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928202758-20200928232758-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.943743 | 673 |

The Christian Post reports that the ancient Church of the Nativity in the Palestinian town of Bethlehem has been placed on the list of World Heritage sites by the United Nations' cultural arm. The U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) voted to grant the world heritage status to the church, traditionally seen as the birthplace of Jesus, and pilgrimage route at the meeting of the World Heritage 21-nation committee in St. Petersburg, Russia, on Friday. The Associated Press quoted Sue Williams, UNESCO spokeswoman, as saying the committee voted 13-6 to put the Christian site, which needed urgent repairs, on the list. The United States and Israel opposed it, and two nations abstained.

Film review: 'Aferim!' delivers caustic, dark comedy blend
Screening: 1:30 p.m. Saturday; 11 a.m. Monday, Regal 9; 10 a.m. Thursday, Mary Pickford.
Director: Radu Jude 106 minutes
Cast: Teodor Corban, Mihai Comanoiu, Cuzin Toma, Alexandru Dabija
Synopsis: Wallachia, north of the Danube, south of Transylvania, 1835. Two 'lawmen,' Constantin and his son Ionita roam the wild landscape in search of an escaped Roma (Gypsy) slave, Carfin. Their quest leads them from one community or fellow traveler to another: a priest with a stuck wagon, a group of monks, Turks and Russians, Jews and Hungarians, each with a story of their own. Constantin rails vulgarities at all he encounters and when they finally apprehend Carfin, the slave proclaims his innocence stating he was escaping persecution for being falsely accused of seducing the landowner's wife. She seduced him, he vividly relates while shackled on horseback on the way to his destiny.
Scorecard: 7.5 (out of 10)
“Aferim!” ('bravo!' in Turkish) is only the second Romanian film dealing with Gypsies: the first being “Gypsy Girl in the Bedroom” made in 1923.
Jude's dialog, especially from the mouth of the clergyman with a stuck wagon, is often obscene and caustically chauvinistic but is actually funny despite its biting stereotypical xenophobic prejudices against Jews, Turks, Roma, and everyone else. Much of the dialog is from aphorisms and literature of the period, including proverbs by Iordache Golescu and others.
Jude, 38, states that it is in fact “the language and mentalities of those times which are the true theme of the film.”
Black-and-white 35 mm cinematography on Kodak Double-X by Marius Panduru is meticulous.
While Romanian history books ignored 500 years of slavery, abolished in 1856, Jude sets the record straight with his film that has created a controversy in his homeland.
While the film may not be for everyone, Jude was awarded by the Berlin International Film Festival jury as Best Director. | <urn:uuid:e21201ab-3460-42e7-893f-a128df2746e9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.desertsun.com/story/life/entertainment/movies/film-festival/2016/01/01/review-aferim-delivers-caustic-dark-comedy-blend/77988038/ | 2020-09-28T22:29:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401614309.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928202758-20200928232758-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.942756 | 493 |

The African Centre for Biodiversity (ACB) has lodged an appeal to the High Court of South Africa to overturn decisions of the GMO authority, the GMO Appeal Board and the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, to commercialise Monsanto’s genetically modified (GM) drought tolerant (DT) maize seed. More than 25 000 concerned citizens have signed petitions and submitted objections in support yet the South African government ignores the pleas of its people.
The appeal raises a number of irregularities with the decision-making processes, which ACB argues flout South Africa’s Constitution and laws prescribing administrative justice and procedural fairness. ACB is alleging mere rubbing stamping of Monsanto’s claims that its patented GM DT trait (MON 87460) confers drought tolerance. Monsanto’s claims of drought tolerance are disputed “based on sound science”; that a single gene (cspB) does not confer efficacious drought tolerance and is yet another risky and novel gene introduced into the staple food of millions of people in South Africa in the name of corporate profits.
The ACB and various organisations and members of the public have, since 2008, resisted Monsanto’s allegedly unproven claimed benefits of drought tolerance.
The Water Efficient Maize for Africa (WEMA) project has specifically come under close scrutiny. The ACB describes WEMA is a “charitable” Monsanto/Gates Foundation project, geared towards coaxing governments and smallholder farmers in South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Mozambique and Kenya into accepting Monsanto’s GM DT maize seed as a “climate smart” solution. WEMA and its proponents are said to be disingenuously propagating the myth that this will assist smallholder farmers in Africa cope with water stressed conditions.
The ACB said in a statement on Tuesday, April 25, 2017: “This GM maize push will be hugely strengthened if South Africa’s Competition Commission approves the proposed merger between Bayer and Monsanto. Such a marriage will give control of 30% of the world’s commercial seed market and 25% of the world’s commercial pesticide and herbicide (agrochemical) markets to the merged entity. Such a behemoth will wield enormous power and control in the region where good governance and biosafety safeguards will be sacrificed at the altar of profits, power and myth making.
“The appeal is but only one small example of the pushback by social movements against corporate power and abuse. These movements have long since been contesting the hegemony of large-scale commercial farming and corporate agri-business, which has deepened structural inequalities, caused environmental damage and eroded farmers’ sovereignty. Farmers and small producers on the continent are resisting Monsanto-like constructed seed systems that oblige them to use patented seed and criminalise their historical rights to save, use, exchange and sell farm-saved seed. These small producers are building alternative food systems that are diverse, resilient, autonomous and socially just. However, these efforts are not being supported by the state but undermined by the stranglehold of the dominant technological platforms based on patented innovations, seed traits and agrochemicals.
“Africans are demanding the end of corporate controlled systems that seek profits from nature and undervalue human effort. They want the destruction of the environment and social and community structures in the name of corporate profit to end now! Africans are demanding the space to work out solutions built on people power through smallholder farmers, unions, farm workers, consumers and mass-based organisations.”

AbbVie announced Tuesday that it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Allergan in a cash and stock transaction with an equity value of approximately $63 billion as it looks to reduce its reliance on Humira. Under the agreed terms, Allergan shareholders will receive 0.8660 AbbVie shares and $120.30 in cash for each share they hold, for a total consideration of $188.24 per share, which represents a 45% premium to the former's closing price on June 24.
"This is a transformational transaction for both companies and achieves unique and complementary strategic objectives," remarked AbbVie CEO Richard Gonzalez, adding "this will have a profound impact on AbbVie's overall growth story." The executive suggested that the deal should ease concerns about future competition to Humira, noting that the the transaction "isn't highly dependent on pipeline." Meanwhile, Allergan chief executive Brent Saunders said the acquisition, which is scheduled to close in early 2020, "creates compelling value for Allergan's stakeholders."
The deal comes amid speculation that Allergan was considering a breakup of the company, splitting off its Botox franchise from the wider pharmaceutical division (for related analysis, see ViewPoints: Potential Allergan split gains investor traction). "This is a good alternative for Allergan versus the current share price," commented Wells Fargo analyst David Maris, while Jared Holz of Jefferies said it's "a major bailout for Allergan shareholders that before today were hoping for a split as a salvaging event."
However, shares in AbbVie fell as much as 15% on news of the transaction, with Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Louise Chen noting that it is unlikely that anyone else will step in and bid for Allergan at this point. CNBC, citing unnamed sources, suggested that AbbVie and Allergan have been holding discussions for the last six to seven weeks, with the talks initiated by Gonzalez.
AbbVie noted that the purchase will give it new growth platforms, with the combined company having franchises with leadershippositions across immunology, haematologic oncology, medical aesthetics, neuroscience, women's health, eye care and virology. AbbVie said that the deal will also boost profitability for its growth platform, which is expected to grow at a high-single digit annual rate well into the next decade, from more than $30 billion in 2020.
SVB Leerink analyst Geoffrey Porges said that Allergan remains an industry leader in aesthetics, with Botox generating sales of $868.4 million in the first quarter, and is likely to be the cornerstone of AbbVie's valuation. "This is yet another transaction driven by diversification, scale and low borrowing costs, rather than portfolio or top line synergies," Porges added.
The combined company will have annual sales of approximately $48 billion, with around 40% of the revenue coming from Humira, while its joint cash flow last year would have been about $19 billion. AbbVie said that the cash flow will be used to support a debt reduction target of $15 billion to $18 billion before the end of 2021.
Meanwhile, AbbVie indicated that the acquisition of Allergan is expected to be 10% accretive to adjusted earnings per share over the first full year following the close of the transaction, with peak accretion of more than 20%. The company added that the deal will provide annual pre-tax synergies and other cost reductions of at least $2 billion in year three, with approximately 50% of savings coming from the optimisation of the research and early-stage portfolio, and reducing overlapping R&D resources.
AbbVie said that following closing of the transaction, the drugmaker will continue to be incorporated in Delaware as AbbVie and have its main principal executive offices in North Chicago, Illinois. The combined company will be led by Gonzalez as CEO and chairman, who will continue in the role through 2023, while Saunders and another member of Allergan's board will join the board of the expanded drugmaker.
AbbVie's purchase of Allergan comes three years after the latter terminated its $160-billion merger with Pfizer in the wake of changes to tax laws in the US designed to curb tax-inversion deals. At the time, the stock transaction was valued at $363.63 per Allergan share.

I see nothing wrong with the BDS campaign against Israel, other than that many of the activists try to make it seem like Israel is just an aspect of White colonialism, emulating the apartheid of South Africa. However, why are so many people focused on Israel when we are living in Zionist-Occupied countries? Our rulers are sending taxpayer dollars over to Israel, and for the United States, that is 100% illegal because Israel has a “secretive” nuclear weapons program, of which almost everyone is now aware.
A lawsuit warns that U.S. aid to Israel violates a law meant to prevent nuclear weapons proliferation, even as the United States prepares to increase the already massive Israeli aid program. Filed Aug. 8 by Grant Smith, director of the Institute for Research: Middle East Policy, or IRMEP, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the suit alleges that U.S. aid to Israel violates two amendments to the 1961 Foreign Assistance Act, known as the the Symington and Glenn Amendments, which collectively ban support for countries engaged in clandestine nuclear programs. (Global Research)
Israel would not even exist if the ZOGs (Zionist Occupied Governments) around the world, especially the US, did not send massive amounts of money to the terrorist state and offer military backing. Israel has already made it quite clear that if they lose support of the world community, they will unleashed a wave of nuclear warheads upon their former allies in what is known as the Samson Option. Regardless of what you may think about the reality of the nuclear threat, just imagine if a country like Iran were to make such a threat against us all. Our governments are supporting a rogue country of religious extremists that has threatened us all with annihilation!
So why do people stand opposed to Israel with BDS yet fail to stand against ZOG at home? They are all guilty of war crimes, funding and arming terrorists, horrific crimes against children, and the financial ruination of the population for the betterment of a very few. Is it because they think that things might actually change if they are only able to elect different politicians? That is not the way ZOG works!
Many deluded “leftists” might actually think that if they are able to get a more sympathetic liberal in office (like jew Bernie Sanders who lived on a kibbutz) then they might be able to see some change. Many of the “right wingers” are so retarded that they actually think that Trump’s support for Israel is great, because they are dealing with “Islamic terrorism” and pissing off the lefties.
We must reject the party politics of ZOG. We must find ways to defund, de-legitimize, and dethrone the ZOGs around the world. Simply isolating Israel is not enough, when our leaders are all furnished by these fanatical jews. I do not know exactly how such a BDS campaign against ZOG should take form, but I am sure you all might have some ideas. I do not mean that if you are an American, you should stop buying American-made products. We need to support the people who live under ZOG while doing everything in our power to stop supporting the power structure that seeks our total enslavement. | <urn:uuid:30c16dda-9cff-4296-b146-84fe19e51465> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.freedomofspeechtwentyfirstcentury.com/2019/09/why-not-bds-our-own-zog.html | 2020-09-28T23:13:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401614309.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928202758-20200928232758-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.967711 | 675 |

I love the way they feel and sound. As much as I like my LP, my Tele is my #1. I love everything about that guitar (except the pickups that came in it but I am finally getting around to changing those this week). Teles just seem to fit me like a glove, moreso than pretty much any other guitar. And sound wise they are unbelievably versatile. I think Teles and ES guitars (335, 355, etc.) are the most versatile ones out there.
Tele hands down. Incredibly versatile, and tough as nails. I left mine the cold car for a week, played it for 2 hours in a warm house, and put it away again for a few days. Still haven't needed to tune. The bridge pickup tone is like nothing else in the guitar world. I play everything from 50s country, through 60s blues and 70s hard rock, all the way to 80s metal with my Esquire. And such a classic, classy appearance. When I throw my Esquire on, I feel like I'm wearing a tuxedo.

Abdominoplasty - Tummy Tuck - Honolulu Hawaii
Abdominoplasty surgery removes excess loose skin and fat from the abdominal area and generally also flattens & tightens the musculature and fascia of the abdomen. The surgery is meant for those who have had extreme weight fluctuations resulting in sagging skin around the abdomen. Patients who have lost significant amounts of weight, had gastric bypass surgery, gone through pregnancy or are genetically predetermined to be overweight or have stomach protrusion are candidates for abdominoplasty surgery.
Abdominoplasty surgery (tummy tuck) is performed under anesthesia and typically takes 2-3 hours to complete (full abdominoplasty). A full abdominoplasty entails making an incision from one side of the abdomen (hip) to the other just about the pubic area. Another incision is made vertically to the belly button in order to release the umbilical. The abdominal tissue is then released from the abdominal wall and the excess is removed. A centerline suture is then employed to tighten the muscle and fascia. A fibrant sealant is sometimes used before the upper abdominal tissue is pulled down and reattached with sutures to the bottom portion.
Expert in Abdominoplasty
Our Plastic Surgeon Dr. Michael Pasquale has performed 1000s of Tummy Tuck-Abdominplasty surgeries over 25 years in Hawaii. Consultation for the procedure is without charge. So if you have questions about abdominoplasty or wonder if its the right solution for you , call us or contact us through our web form.
Although there are risks involved with any kind of surgery the risks involved with abdominoplasty surgery are rare. Its important that you follow the instructions given to you by your plastic surgeon so that these risks can be avoided.
Some of the risks of abdominoplasty surgery are:
- Blood Clot
- Excess Bleeding
- Nerve Damage
- Complications from anesthesia
- Persistent swelling
- Excess swelling
A mini abdominoplasty can be best for smaller patients with less excess fat or sagging skin. The mini tummy tuck removes less tissue and releases less tissue from the abdominal wall. The use of a centerline suture is often unnecessary with a mini tummy tuck but could be used depending on the patient. As always you should consult a plastic surgeon to determine which procedures are best for you given your particular circumstances. | <urn:uuid:295b1883-3b5f-4819-b4b0-ce9db94638f8> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.infinitylifecenter.com/plastic-surgery/body/abdominoplasty | 2020-09-28T21:53:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401614309.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928202758-20200928232758-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.917307 | 512 |

Looser ARM standards led to more credit being available in August
Looser underwriting standards for agency-eligible adjustable-rate mortgages helped increase credit availability in August to its highest level since April, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.
The Mortgage Credit Availability Index increased 0.7% to 180.2 for August from July's 179. The index was 164.7 for August 2016.
"Mortgage credit availability increased slightly in August, driven by the expansion of credit among conforming and agency jumbo programs," said Lynn Fisher, the MBA's vice president of research and economics.
"Following the same pattern as last month, agency-eligible adjustable-rate mortgage loan programs continued to be updated in August to allow for higher loan-to-value ratios, effectively increasing the availability of credit."
There was a 0.1% increase in government product — Federal Housing Administration, Veterans Affairs and U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development — availability in August compared with July.
The increase to August from July marked three months in a row and 10 out of the last 12 months where credit availability has expanded.
The conventional MCAI increased 1.5% over the previous month. There was an increase of 1.6% in the conforming loan MCAI, while the jumbo index increased by 1.4%. The conforming and jumbo indices are subsets of the conventional MCAI.
The base for the index is 100, established for March 2012. The index is calculated by the MBA using information from Ellie Mae's AllRegs Market Clarity database. | <urn:uuid:47dab1d5-4fc1-411e-b5cb-271369711a19> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.nationalmortgagenews.com/news/looser-arm-standards-led-to-more-credit-being-available-in-august | 2020-09-28T21:02:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401614309.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928202758-20200928232758-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.955059 | 324 |
Device Authority and nCipher Security announce success in delivering trust for Medical IoT
Securing medical device manufacturer surgical robot systems
Device Authority, a global leader in Identity and Access Management (IAM) for the Internet of Things (IoT) and Blockchain, announces its partnership and joint customer success with nCipher Security, the provider of trust, integrity and control for business critical information and applications.
Device Authority’s KeyScaler platform integrates with nCipher’s nShield hardware security modules (HSMs) to provide high-assurance device authentication, managed end-to-end encryption, and certificate provisioning for IoT devices, ideal for medical, industrial, and other smart connected products. KeyScaler delivers a scalable, device-based authentication and authorization to establish a strong root of trust and identity assurance for medical IoT devices.
Cindy Provin, Chief Executive Officer, nCipher Security says:
“Every day we are seeing how technology in healthcare is helping improve the care that patients receive. However, we have also seen that the healthcare industry is regularly under threat from cybercriminals. Our partnership with Device Authority has enabled us to solve device authentication and data security challenges that are hindering IoT deployments. By creating a hardened system for issuing and managing device credentials and the keys that are essential to creating a root of trust, we enhance patient safety and allow organizations to confidently deploy business critical IoT projects. This has led to our first joint customer win with a large medical device manufacturer securing surgical robot systems.”
The medical device manufacturer produces high quality surgical robot systems which perform a variety of treatments and procedures on patients in hospitals. This advanced new technology benefits patients by making surgery less invasive and reducing the risk of infection. Connecting to the internet however creates security risks and challenges for the devices, the applications they interact with as well as the data. With patient safety top of mind, the customer sought a solution that would both protect the transfer and receipt of critical data and surgical instructions as well as provide strong authentication and guarantee the integrity of the medical device itself. Working closely with the customer’s project team, nCipher and Device Authority have been able to provide a solution that meets integration and security needs, as well provide enhanced features to support both online and offline processing.
Darron Antill, Chief Executive Officer, Device Authority says:
“Patient safety, data confidentiality, risk control and adhering to compliance requirements such as HIPAA are all important when deploying connected medical devices. KeyScaler is a leading software platform which can solve all these challenges with its device-bound data security which is relevant for many Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) use cases. We are excited to secure this long-term contract alongside our strategic partner nCipher and look forward to many more,” said Darron Antill, CEO of Device Authority.
With IoMT solutions being in use for extended periods of time (5-10 years or more), it is essential to be able to support the solutions of today, as well as adapt for the challenges of tomorrow. Device Authority and nCipher can provide a new level of assurance, as well as bring innovative solutions that solve the challenges of the evolving medical security landscape.

These days, budget travelers don’t need to choose between scraping together enough points and miles for a brand-name hotel room or paying cash for a lower-cost option. Many credit card issuers now offer an appealing alternative that’s somewhere in the middle: You can redeem rewards for Airbnb stays, often thanks to how payment networks classify these purchases.
The home-sharing platform offers plenty of affordable lodging options — for example, you can choose to rent a private room in a house, or an apartment — which makes it easy to stretch rewards further. And landing a rental with a kitchen could also save plenty on dining out. Here’s how you can cover that next Airbnb stay with credit card rewards.
1. Cash in flexible points and miles
Co-branded hotel credit cards generally limit you to redeeming points within a certain hotel chain. But some general travel cards offer more flexibility.
Take the Capital One® Venture® Rewards Credit Card, the Barclaycard Arrival Plus® World Elite Mastercard® or the Bank of America® Travel Rewards credit card, for example. These cards allow you to redeem points or miles for credit that can be applied to a broad range of travel purchases made on your card, including Airbnb purchases. That’s because payment networks classify spending at Airbnb in the same way as hotel purchases, confirms Airbnb.
Certain other home-share company purchases are classified as spending on real estate agents, which, unlike hotel spending, typically aren’t considered travel purchases. (Airbnb notes that previously, Airbnb spending was sometimes classified under travel agency purchases, but that’s no longer the case.)
Ian Thomas of Birmingham, Alabama, says he used the miles accrued on his Barclaycard Arrival Plus® World Elite Mastercard® to pay for a one-night Airbnb stay while traveling near Wanaka, New Zealand. He and his wife, Sarah, stayed in a house overlooking Lake Hawea.
With Airbnb, “you get to pick and choose what you want your experience to be like,” says Thomas, co-founder of the travel and lifestyle blog Simply Well Spent. One obstacle: On his card, you can only use miles to cover travel purchases that cost more than $100, and his inexpensive Airbnb stays don’t always clear that bar. But because one night at the lakefront house cost $119, he was able to use his rewards to cover that stay.
2. Redeem rewards for Airbnb gift cards or cash back
Points and miles aren’t the only way to pay for Airbnb. You can also use cash-back rewards — say, the ones you earned on cards like the Citi® Double Cash Card – 18 month BT offer or the Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express — to cover these expenses (or any other expenses, for that matter).
Another option: See if your issuer offers Airbnb gift cards as a redemption option. At the time of this writing, for example, Chase featured Airbnb gift cards in its Chase Ultimate Rewards® portal. In the past, other issuers have also made these cards available. Keep in mind that Airbnb gift cards come with some restrictions. While they can be used to cover new reservations, they can’t be used for stays lasting longer than 28 days, changes to existing reservations or second payments (if you’re paying for a stay in two installments), according to Airbnb’s website.
Redeeming rewards for cash back or gift cards can be less rewarding on some cards, especially certain travel cards. If you’re getting less than 1 cent per point or mile, try a different tack.
3. Take advantage of travel statement credits
Carry a fancy credit card? Your annual travel credit might make your next Airbnb stay more affordable.
Such is the case for cardholders of the Chase Sapphire Reserve®, a travel card that carries an annual fee of $550. It comes with a travel statement credit of $300 that renews each account anniversary year, and is automatically applied to a broad range of travel expenses, including, yes, Airbnb stays, the issuer confirms.
Similarly, the U.S. Bank Altitude™ Reserve Visa Infinite® Card — which carries a $400 annual fee — comes with a $325 annual travel credit that can be used for Airbnb stays, as long as the purchases are classified as hotel purchases, U.S. Bank confirms. This credit is automatically applied to eligible purchases.
If you happen to have unused credit when you book using one of these cards, this perk might just cover your whole stay.

Health Insurance Coverage Insider Tips
Choosing medical insurance coverage isn't most people's idea of fun. Insurance policies can be confusing and intimidating--a frightening combination for such an important product. Following are several tips to help you better understand this valuable coverage:
What is Your Cost Beyond the Insurance Premium?
The first dollars you allocate for your medical insurance will pay for the premium. But most of the time the costs don't stop there. Most insurance policies contain a breakdown of the individual costs you are responsible for based on services rendered.
For example, many health insurance plans contain separate deductibles for emergency room visits and routine exams. Frequently called "co-payments," these out-of-pocket expenses should be a key factor in your decision-making regarding which plan to purchase. Review your medical policy and study information on co-payments, deductibles and coinsurance. This practice will help you understand just how much protection you are getting for your premium dollars.
Review theInsurance Plan's Provider Network
Most medical insurance plans offer a network of healthcare providers who have established business relationships with the insurance company. When reviewing this network ask these important questions:
- "Are my current doctors in the network?"
- "Does the network include a significant number of providers in my area?"
- "Are all of the local hospitals and/or emergency-care providers in my area included in the network?"
- "Does the network include pharmacies or providers of discounted prescription drugs?"
Also, not everyone becomes sick or gets injured at home. Be sure to review how your policy will apply if you get sick or are injured while traveling on business or during vacation.
Pre-existing and Other Medical Conditions
Health insurance plans specifically define how they address coverage for pre-existing medical conditions. Paying for a policy that does not extend coverage to a pre-existing condition is a frequent source of frustration for people who don't review their policy's terms.
In addition, be sure to review specific conditions that you or a member of your family are concerned about. For example, if your eyesight is okay now but both of your parents are legally blind, there's a better-than-average chance your vision will deteriorate over time. A policy that extends coverage for routine vision care may not seem essential today but should be addressed in order to avoid a pre-existing condition limitation down the road.
More Tips for Health Insurance
With health insurance, there always seems to be something you missed. Read more tips about what to consider when choosing an insurance policy.
Prescription Coverage and Your InsurancePeople often overlook the type of prescription coverage that is a part of their insurance policy. Prescription medication can be very expensive, and without some type of prescription coverage in place, you could be stuck with a much larger bill than you expected to pay. Some insurance policies offer a generic option where you can buy the generic version for less, while other insurance plans have full prescription coverage to help with medication costs.
Wellness and Preventive ProgramsMany health insurance plans now offer what are known as wellness or preventive healthcare programs. These usually include affordable preventive healthcare screenings, reimbursement for health club memberships, and discounts for stress reducing activities, such as yoga classes. Improve your health and save money on your insurance with one of these programs.
