In a news conference this afternoon, Mayor Bill De Blasio addressed something that has been on everyone’s mind as a possibility: a “shelter in place” requirement.
“In my view I think the right guidance to give all New Yorkers, is even though a decision has not been made by the city or by the state, I think New Yorkers should be prepared right now for the possibility of a ‘shelter in place’ order,” he said. “It has not happened yet but it’s definitely a possibility at this point.”
He said they will be communicating closely with New York State government to make the decision, which should be final in the next 48 hours.
“It’s a very difficult decision, but is particularly difficult in a city so densely populated,” he said. It would legally require all New Yorkers to stay at home at all times (except to leave for getting essentials like food or medical aid).
But, as the NY Times reported, an aide to Governor Cuomo (who would have the final say) said “Any blanket quarantine or shelter in place policy would require state action and as the governor has said, there is no consideration of that for any locality at this time.” So, there are definitely some mixed messages coming about.
As of this hour (4pm, March 17), De Blasio said the confirmed number of cases in NYC is 814: 248 in Queens, 277 in Manhattan, 157 in Brooklyn, 96 in the Bronx, and 36 in Staten Island.
He also announced alternate-side parking would be suspended from March 18-24 (for now).

PARIS, January 20, 2011
Balmain Homme is one of my favorite men’s collections for next winter. Wear this on stage, on the street, or at a party, and be the most stylish guy in the room! It’s the real Rock Star look; long boots, great scarves, and original colors-not just black. The outfits are very masculine but they are so stylish that I would wear them too.
Christophe Decarnin proves, once again, he is a genius!!! …and not just at designing women’s clothes, but his latest Men’s collection is also fabulous!

SWAG77 Headcanon is that Thrawn always had peerage. We are defining peerage as the upper family members from “Ranking Distants” and above as royalty. We explain on our Patreon.
The composition of this half-body image is a derivative from the template of “Prince Louis of Orléans, Duke of Nemours by Winterhalter” and the Star Wars Chaos Rising Cover by Magali Villeneuve. Behind Thrawn is the German castle, Schloss Neuschwanstein.
The SWAG77 fanfic headcanon goes: Thrawn is young in official Chiss military formal attire with his Mitth Ruling Family sash to show his caste of Ranking Distant.
SWAG77 speculates that Thrawn’s real father is the Patriarch Mitth’oor’akiord. It is only a fanfic headcanon and there is canonicity to be forced onto fans.
SWAG77 loves telling and writing stories.
The burgundy sash is available in a non-fungible token

Instead of a nightlight, I turn on the closet light for my children at bedtime. At first, when our eyes are used to the bright fluorescent bulbs in the rest of the house, this is a tough adjustment. Even with the closet door wide open, the light appears dim. But as our eyes adjust, that light which once appeared so dim now seems way too bright. So every night I go into their rooms and close the closet door. That light is still shining as brightly as it was before, but now it is contained behind a closed door. Light seeps out around the cracks and underneath the bottom, so it’s enough to comfort them if they wake up, but it’s not enough to offend the eyes if they awaken from a deep sleep.
So what does a light in the closet have to do with you? Quite a bit, actually. Look with me at Matthew 5:14-16, part of this week’s Gospel. This comes from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, and He speaks of His followers as “salt” and “light.” Jesus tells us that we are the light of the world and that we are to “let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.'” Wow. We are the light of the world? Really, Jesus? Because in John 8:12 You claim that You are the light of the world. So which is it? Both. Jesus is of course the light of the world. He came into this sin-darkened world to shine the light of mercy and forgiveness. His Gospel message shines in stark contrast to the darkness of sin and condemnation under the Law. He is the source of this light, and we are merely the reflectors. Much as the moon reflects the light of the sun, yet has no light of its own, so we of our own accord do not have “light” to shine; we merely reflect the light of Jesus.
But what about you? Are you reflecting that light? Are you the city on a hill that cannot be hidden, or do you try to hide that lamp under the basket? Do your coworkers, friends, neighbors, and fellow soccer moms, know that you are a Christian? If not, it’s time to change that. But how? I’m glad you asked. There’s been a lot of discussion regarding the most effective way to witness: words or actions? Both, my friend. You must use both to be an effective witness. First let’s look at actions.
Read James 2:14-26, and keep in mind that James is not speaking about earning heaven with works. He’s talking sanctification. Read with me verses 15-17 and examine your own life. “If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, be warmed and filled,’ without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” (This past week’s Old Testament lesson says the same thing. Check out Isaiah 58:6-8.) I don’t know about you, but I’m convicted. How many times have I told someone struggling through a tough time, “I’m praying for you,” and left it at that? Yes, it’s good to pray for someone, but we can’t always leave it at that. If your neighbor is going through a tough time financially, show up at her door with a few freezer meals. Spear a fundraiser for someone racking up medical bills. Volunteer at a soup kitchen or have your kids make cards for children in the hospital. The point is to do something. Live that faith. Others will see you doing those things and wonder why.
But it can’t stop there. I think a lot of us (myself included) tend to use the “witnessing by actions” as a cop out sometimes. We figure just living a Christian life is enough of a witness. If someone wants to ask us why we live the way we do, then great! Ah, but how often has that happened to you? No one has ever come up to me to say, “Gosh, wow. I sense that there’s something different about you the way you live your life. What’s your secret?” Yes, actions do speak loudly, but they aren’t specific enough for the kind of witness we need to have. Actions speak louder than words when you tell your kids not to steal but then they see you cheating on your taxes. Those are the kind of actions that overrule whatever words you say. Look with me at Romans 10:14, 17: “How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?… So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” People will not know what you believe only by how you act. Paul says faith comes from hearing, not through observation. Dear ones, it’s time to get out of our comfort zone. Work up the courage to tell someone what you believe, to invite them to church with you, to ask if you can pray with them. Does that thought scare you? It scares me! A lot. So let me make a few humble suggestions.
Think back to my light analogy. When does the closet light shine brightest? When it’s darkest outside and in the house. In the middle of the night when our eyes are adjusted to the dark and our pupils are dilated, any light at all blazes forth. But if I turn on a closet light when other lights are on, it’s hardly even noticeable. Those who most need to hear the Gospel message are those in deepest darkness. Darkness of sin, despair, and hopelessness. Those who are living in some sort of artificial light have no need for this Gospel light. Look at the Pharisees of Jesus’ day. They thought they were walking in the light. They had no need for Jesus’ message because they thought they had it all figured out. I’m sure you know people like that. Pray that God humbles them and gives them a reason to need the light. But the people who most desperately need to hear about Jesus are those broken and in despair. The friend who just lost a family member, the neighbor whose son is in jail, the coworker who just learned his daughter is on drugs, the mom from story hour who just received a bad medical diagnosis- these are the people who need the light. Invite them for coffee or a meal and let them share what’s on their mind. Then ask if you may share something personal with them: your faith. They may tell you no. That’s okay. You’ve opened the door a crack and they can glimpse the light. It’s not up to us to convince anyone. That’s the Holy Spirit’s work. We are merely the instruments, always ready to share “the reason for the hope that is in you,” as Peter says in 1 Peter 3:15, and we do so “with gentleness and respect.” Don’t worry that you may not have all the answers or that you aren’t eloquent enough. Hey, if God could use stuttering Moses, He can sure use you.
My other suggestion is to practice talking about your faith. Practice makes perfect, after all. One of the best ways I’ve found to do this is by talking to kids. If you don’t have children yourself, consider teaching Sunday School or VBS, or talk about Jesus with nieces and nephews or godchildren. Kids are so open and understanding. They won’t mock you or slam the door in your face or laugh if you get your words mixed up. Practice telling them about our sin and God’s love for us by sending Jesus. Tell them these basic truths over and over again. Make sure they know the story backward and forward, because they reflect God’s light too. Equip them to share their own faith with others even as you practice sharing your faith. It’s a win/win situation. Let your kids ask you questions about the Bible. If you don’t know they won’t judge you, and you get a chance to look up the answers or talk to a pastor, and you grow in your own understanding as well.
So now what, dear Christian? How will you reflect God’s light to those He puts in your path today? The devil will tempt you with all his might to be a closet Christian. He wants the light to stay shut up tightly because he is the prince of darkness. But take heart. Jesus has already defeated him. Jesus will empower you to shine your light, because really, that light is His light. Don’t be afraid. Open that closet door and let His light pour out for all to see. | <urn:uuid:c35c88e1-1f03-44d8-8b71-24444b3fe2b4> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://truthnotes.net/2014/02/13/a-light-in-the-closet/ | 2022-01-20T17:42:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302355.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20220120160411-20220120190411-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.96777 | 1,943 |

As if rising from the infinite blue sea, standing tall and solid, mount Ainos features a National Park of unique beauty and rarity. The National Park of Ainos in Kefalonia is close to Argostoli and Sami and it is the smallest national park in Greece.
Ainos National Park was established in 1962 in order to protect the indigenous specimen of elati (Abies Cephalonica), which covers a ground of 1973 hectares.
In the fir forest appear various specimens of bushes such as gortsies, krategi, etc. Northwest of Ainos in Roudi mountain, lush vegetation of bushes covers a ground of 46 hectares and is a separate part inside the park. Τhe fir forests of Mt. Ainos are so dark green looking almost black, that the Venetians called the mountain Monte Nero (‘Black Mountain’). Such was the mountain’s fame that when a Kefalonian named Marínos Metaxás had an audience with Napoleon, the Emperor asked him how the famous forests of the Black Mountain were faring.
In the highest rocky areas prevail briar genistas. Αpart from the rich flora of the park, its fauna is also of high importance. Mammals such as fox, beech marten, hare and others, as well as rare birds and serpents (petroperdika and fidaetos) shelter here.
Inside the Park shelter the famous wild horses of Ainos. Some claim these are descendants of the wild horses of Thessaly, one of three ancient Greek breeds now extinct, since their similarity to ancient horse sculptures is really impressive. Others reckon they are descended from escaped or released livestock. Most likely they are escaped / released horses descended from Pindos ponies, which were captured, broken and traded at horse fairs in Aitoloakarnania (the Greek mainland opposite Kefalonia, north of the Gulf of Corinth) and Arta.
They managed to survive in the wild nature in scant of number herds. Today only a few dozens have remained in the slopes of Ainos.
The park is a paradise for hikers, especially on its East side, which is more savage. The flora is rich of indangered species in danger like endemic varieties of orchids. The fauna is very interesting too, with rapaces, reptiles and little mammals (foxes by instance), wich are very rare elsewhere on Cephalonia or on other islands.
During a long hike more surprises are to come. Uncharted trails, mysterious lakes and caves of unrivalled beauty await you to explore! | <urn:uuid:83ec9a2e-9fbd-439c-956a-d66e29dbd5ff> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://visitkefallonia.com/en/2018/02/28/mount-ainos-kefalonia-walk-ainos-national-park/ | 2022-01-20T18:01:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302355.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20220120160411-20220120190411-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.949874 | 540 |
|India's Lost Opportunity (Image by Harikrishnan Mangayil)|
What is CAA-NPR-NRC?CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act) 2019 is an amendment to the Citizenship Act of 1955 which provides a pathway to Indian citizenship for members of minority section (Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis, and Christians) of Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan who have fled religious persecution from their respective countries before December 2014. CAA also expedites the process of naturalization for members of the aforementioned communities by reducing the aggregate period of eleven years to a mere five years of residence or service in India.
However, CAA is not the cause of concern, it is NRC (National Register of Citizens) in combination with CAA raising the concern. NRC is a register of all Indian citizens whose creation is mandated by the Citizenship Act of 1955 (as amended in 2003). As of now, it has been implemented only in the state of Assam and the current Government of India (GOI) led by Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) is planning to implement NRC on the nation-wide scale. The final updated NRC for Assam, published on 31 August 2019, contained 3.1 crore names out of 3.3 crores registered population, leaving out 19 lakh residents in danger of losing citizenship.
Finally, NPR (National Population Register) is the latest dimension added by GOI in the ongoing CAA-NRC debate by reassessing the current public feedback. It is claimed to be a simple register of all usual residents (both citizens and non-citizens) by the GOI. However, many critics allege and as of press release (dated: 26 November 2014) by GOI claim, it is nothing but a preparatory step toward the creation of NRC.
Why India is Protesting?As many believe, there is no single kind of protest happening, i.e. exclusion of Muslims from the list, but there are three different kinds of protest happening in India. These are
1. Protests in Assam and Northeast
Assam along with its seven sisters was first to raise voice against the CAA as they claimed to be the largest party affected by this act as they are the ones who bore the burden of migration from 1951 to 1971. They are not just protesting against the inclusion of Hindu migrants, but also tribal migrants such as Chakma and Hajong. They are angry because the amended act will allow thousands of migrants from Bangladesh to become citizens of India. Thus, changing the social, cultural and political equations of the region.
2. Protests by Muslim Community
The second wave of protest comes from the Muslim community. When we look at CAA from the lens of NRC, the matter looks worrisome. The matter is exacerbated by the protest handling mechanism and unclear top-down communication of GOI regarding NRC and its implementation.
The above step is also billed and politicized as one of several anti-Muslim steps (Triple Talaq Ban, Babri Masjid-Ram Mandir Case and Kashmir) adopted by GOI toward Muslims by some radical Muslim leaders. This is made worse by hate speeches by pro-Hindu leaders.
3. Protests by Pro-Constitution Indians
There is a third kind of protest happening against CAA-NPR-NRC by the Pro-Constitution and Pro-democracy believers. This group actually made up of several sub-groups.
There is one sub-group who believes that CAA-NPR-NRC is against the ethos of the Indian Constitution. They argue that India is built on the foundation of secularism and CAA-NPR-NRC will weaken this foundation. It is for the first time, religion has become the basis for any constitutional amendment.
There is a subgroup protesting against non-inclusion of the persecuted minority from Non-Muslim countries such as Rohingyas from Myanmar, Tamil Hindus of Sri Lanka, and Buddhists of Tibet, China.
Lastly, there is another sub-group that has labeled CAA-NRC as an anti-poor citing the examples of NRC of Assam and eviction of Tribals in Madhya Pradesh from forest areas following SC order. Some of them also claim that GOI has knowingly ignited CAA-NPR-NRC debate to divert public attention from India's dwindling economy and joblessness.
The Lost OpportunityLike every State and its Government has the right to form policy regarding any issue, whether it is about citizenship or anything else, India and its elected government also has the right to do so. But these decisions should be taken by considering the cultural and social ethos of the nation, not a particular community. Moreover, these steps should be taken considering our position in world politics. Even when steps are associated with positive or negative connotations. And this is where GOI has failed to understand and lost a golden opportunity.
The simple inclusion of Ahmadiya and Shia Muslims from Pakistan, Buddhists and Uyghur from China, Tamils from Sri Lanka and Rohingyas from Myanmar would not only fetch praise from the international community, but also never attracted any kind of protest (with assurance to Assam, Northeast and other scheduled areas listed in Article 371).
Secondly, it would reinforce India's position as the geo-political power in South Asia and the Indian Ocean by putting pressure on self-proclaimed Muslim world leader Pakistan and so-called people-rights defender China.
The step would allowed India to negotiate with United States on issues like Iran, Energy, Trade sanctions and Permanent Seat in UN Council; with OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation) on issues like Kashmir, Pakistan, Terrorism, Energy and Trade and with other South Asian countries on different issues who are trapped in Chinese Debt due to its renewed stake in the geo-politics.
The PresentThe present scenario for India does not seem great. The problem is accentuated by current US-Iran stand-off and international community criticism over GOI's appear to be anti-Muslim stand. From here, there are only two options left for India. Either they withdraw the exercise of NPR-NRC or they amend the CAA to admit other religiously persecuted minorities from Non-Muslim states. Though both these steps will not gain any traction at this point in time, but it will surely lead to the withdrawal of the protest.

Chapel Hill Port Orchard: big announcement!
We’re delighted to share the news that Pastor Larry will now fully dedicate his ministry work to Port Orchard! The timing reflects our shared call to serve Jesus together in Kitsap County and the local congregation’s readiness to receive additional ministry staff support.
You’re accustomed to seeing Larry on Sundays and team nights, but you may be unaware that his time here has been in addition to a call to be the Executive Associate Pastor at Chapel Hill in Gig Harbor. We are excited to share with you we will serve locally together beginning in January.
Here’s more in his own words:
Three years ago, Megan and I went to a church-planting assessment in Indianapolis. Being assessed as a church-planter is no joke; the process is meant to expose potential planters to stressful and challenging scenarios and experiences and see how they bear up under it, all under the watchful gaze of experienced assessors.
For Megan and me, the process was invigorating, and we were quickly gaining clarity on the question we had been pondering: was God really calling us to serve and love the community of Port Orchard?
Well, the years have gone by, and while I’ve helped support the church plant as Megan has taken the lead, most of my time has still been given to leading the staff in Gig Harbor as the Executive Associate Pastor. As the plant has begun to come into its own, Megan and I have consistently recalled our experience at that assessment. We’ve wondered when that calling to plant a church together would come fully into being. When would I not only support the church plant, but help lead the church plant? You might have guessed from reading this that, as we’ve been praying and listening over this past year, we’ve sensed that the time is now.
In January, I’ll give my exclusive attention and focus to leading the church plant alongside Megan. I’m excited about this, it feels like what I had been anticipating three years ago. This sending is just one more way that Chapel Hill’s is expressing support for me and for our growth. I am so grateful for how Chapel Hill has loved Megan and me, and for the continued love as we work together to birth a new worshiping community!
Larry will be taking on the role of Associate Pastor of Discipleship, including overseeing family ministry and forming a membership class. The class will be based on spiritual practices that have long shaped our life and we pray will be significant to our life together in Port Orchard.
On Sunday, January 2nd at the 10:00 service in Gig Harbor, Pastor Larry will be commissioned from Gig Harbor alongside the three Session members who have committed to three years of serving as Session members for Chapel Hill Port Orchard: Gina Stewart, Scott Griffin and Judy Kuehn.
Join us in celebrating Pastor Larry’s dedication to service in Port Orchard!

The Whyalla steelworks is a 1.2 Mt/y integrated site located in South Australia. The site has been in operation since 1941 and has changed ownership several times over its 73 year operational history. The Whyalla site has made headlines in recent months after being acquired by the GFG alliance, a deal that saw GFG acquire the assets of the now defunct Arrium, with the steelmaking and manufacturing assets formed into Liberty Onesteel and the mining assets incorporated into SIMEC mining. In the months following the acquisiton of Whyalla, GFG also acquired ZenEnergy and quickly announced their “Gigawatt Program”, with plans to build a suite of renewable generation assets including photovoltaic cells (PVCs), pumped hydro and battery storage that will ultimately tie into GFG CEO Sanjeev Gupta’s “GREENSTEEL” vision.
In this insight, we look at the power requirements of the Whyalla steelworks and, using data from CRU’s Steel Cost Model, estimate whether Gupta’s ambitious energy project could have any significant impact to the underlying cost structure of the site.
The Whyalla site produces billet for Liberty’s Australian East coast operations and heavy railway sections. When viewed on the global heavy sections cost curve, Whyalla is one of the highest-cost producers worldwide, sitting in the fourth quartile of the global cost curve, and we estimate that the cost of producing heavy sections was $604 /t in 2017. Therefore, for a site such as Whyalla to be competitive, it is crucial for the owners to understand the underlying cost structure – and target cost reductions where possible.
Of the total costs of production, purchased electricity accounts for ~2% of the total cost for both sections and billet production, a relatively minor component of overall costs. So, why would Liberty be targeting the power supply?
Whyalla’s power problem
The Whyalla site has had issues with its power supply in the past. In September 2016, the site was paralysed after a major state-wide power outage that left the site running on backup power for days. Lost production was estimated at 10,000 t and deliveries to customers were delayed. The outage resulted in several operational issues, such as a chilled hearth and solidifying metal in casters, in addition to safety risks. The site was under administration at the time and highlighted a key issue to bidders – Whyalla’s power supply problem.
CRU estimates that the Whyalla site required approximately 267 MkWh of electricity in 2017 – this approximates to 250 kWh/t of product produced, with the sections rolling mill accounting for the majority of the power consumption. We estimate that the Whyalla site generates up to 40% of its power needs internally through a steam generating set and a natural gas co-gen facility that also utilises waste process gas. This leaves 160 MkWh that needs to be purchased from the grid annually.
Whyalla is one of South Australia’s largest power consumers, CRU estimates that Whyalla purchases electricity at a price of $70 /MWh – taking their 2017 power bill to $11.2 M. This is not an insignificant figure, however, relative to the amount the site spends on raw materials and other operational costs, it is not huge. Power is clearly important to Whyalla, however, given the history of the site and the importance of a stable operation to the productivity of a blast furnace it appears that power security is of higher concern than power prices.
The cost of renewable power
The owners of Whyalla can guarantee their energy security by installing their own power generation capacity. However, on a $/MWh basis, renewable energy sources are still one of the most expensive ways to generate power when subsidies are not considered. The levelised cost of electricity (n.b. LCOE) is a metric that estimates the cost of generating power across the useful life of an asset to give a price per unit of energy (i.e. $/MWh). The LCOE provides a guide for the minimum price at which power from the installation should be sold in order to break even on the investment and the metric can be used to compare the relative cost of power for a range of systems. For this analysis, we estimate a LCOE of $74 /MWh for the suggested 200 MW PVC installation, without subsidy.
Comparing the LCOE of $74 /MWh with Whyalla’s current estimated price for grid power of $70/ MWh, we do not believe that the Whyalla steelworks will see any decrease in their operating costs and overall cost structure in the scenario where power is sourced from their own installation of PVCs, pumped hydro and batteries. In fact, Whyalla could actually see their costs increase slightly. Even if subsidies are provided, lowering the effective LCOE to below $70 /MWh, the small contribution of power to total costs suggests that cost competitiveness is unlikely to change significantly.
More importantly, by our estimates, the Whyalla site would meet its current power requirements with only a 90 MW PVC installation. So, why is GFG pursuing a much larger installation in the first place?
Why the “GigaWatt Program”?
The condition and status of South Australia’s (SA) electricity network is a highly publicised issue in Australia. The state’s renewable energy plan aims to have 75% of its power supplied by renewables by 2025 and this is being achieved in part through the offer of subsidies to renewables projects. However, the addition of solar and wind power into the SA energy mix has resulted in a shift of grid demand – demand bottoms out in mid-morning, as rooftop PVCs begin to kick in, reducing demand for grid supplied power. As a result, power prices in South Australia can sometimes turn negative to incentivise users to relieve the grid of excess power being supplied to the network. This presents an arbitrage opportunity for those who can store power – storage systems can allow the owner to recharge their facilities at times of low/negative prices and to sell this power back to the grid in times of peak demand and high prices.
CRU has used historical power prices in SA to try to understand the potential revenues that could be generated from utilising the storage capacity of pumped hydro and batteries, if GFG were to sell the excess power of the proposed solar generation back to the grid. In these calculations, we have assumed the following:
- The pumped hydro facility would be loaded during periods when power prices were negative and operated when power prices were above $100 /MWh.
- The battery storage would be charged every day by excess solar generation and sold at peak, daily power prices.
- Solar power not consumed by the steelworks or used to charge the battery would be sold at average power prices last year of $110 /MWh.
These calculations suggest that annual revenue is likely to be in the region of $30-50 M. As such, the “Gigawatt Program” begins to look like an attractive investment, as the Whyalla site will be able to secure its power supply, whilst excess power can be sold at high prices through the use of the storage capacity.
Based on the information detailed above, we do not believe that the “Gigawatt Program will change the underlying cost structure of the Whyalla site significantly – whilst power is vital to the operation of the steelworks, the contribution of power to overall costs is small. However, the project will provide security of supply in times of outage, whilst providing an additional stream of revenue.
Whyalla is a high-cost producer of heavy sections and billets. The site has had issues in the past with the security of its power supply and a disruption in September 2016 led to a loss of production from both the group’s steel and iron ore operations – highlighting the sites power security issues. However, electricity costs for the Whyalla works are a small component of total costs, contributing approximately 2% only.
GFG have announced the “Gigawatt Program” – an ambitious energy project that includes the installation of PVCs, pumped hydro and batteries. However, based on our analysis, we do not believe the Whyalla site will see a change to their underlying cost structure due to this programme. Having said that, the “Gigawatt Program” will provide security of supply – the cost of an erratic power supply is harder to quantify, but is just as important as securing a competitive power price. Once installed, excess power from the the “Gigawatt Program” could present GFG with an additional revenue stream in the range of $30-50 M/y.Explore this topic with CRU

A major goal of stem cell and regenerative medicine researchers is to culture human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) for transplantation purposes, which has been hindered by insufficient mechanistic knowledge of HSC self-renewal. In their recent Nature study, Calvanese et al. identify the chromatin reader/activator MLLT3/AF9 as a pivotal regulator of HSC maintenance. Though lost during culture, MLLT3 expression is normally enhanced in human fetal, neonatal, and adult HSCs. The authors used various approaches to demonstrate that human hematopoietic stem or progenitor cells (HSPCs) are not sustainable in culture following MLLT3 depletion, whereas MLLT3 overexpression resulted in a 12-fold amplification of HSCs capable of multilineage regeneration in mouse transplantation recipients. Chromatin interrogation revealed that MLLT3 binds to the transcriptional start sites (TSSs) of active HSPC gene regions enriched for H3K79me2, indicating that MLLT3 works with DOT1L in human HSCs to increase this chromatin mark and perpetuate active gene expression during expansion in culture. The authors stressed that MLLT3 appears to preserve, rather than instill, HSC stemness orchestrated by other transcription factors, hopefully mitigating the risk of leukemogenesis. Thus, MLLT3 appears to be a key regulator of a set of factors responsible for establishing a specific chromatin state in HSC regulatory genes that facilitates the generation of an expandable and engraftable HSC population capable of multilineage reconstitution.

The Dalmatian is known for their spotted coat. These energetic dogs are devoted and loyal to their families. Here are a few more facts about Dalmatians:
1. They Were Bred to Guard and Run With Horses
Dalmatians have one of the most iconic coats known to man, as portrayed in films such as 101 Dalmatians. Their original purpose was to guard horses and the coaches they drew, and with that comes the strength, and prestige that the role entailed. This disposition led to a moderately standoffish, yet proud breed.
While they can be wary of people they don’t know, this lends to them being vigilant protectors. And, like with many protective dogs, comes the traits of intelligence, fidelity, and affection. However, it is our responsibility as trainers to get them to realize their full potential, and that potential starts young.
2. Dalmatian Puppies Are Born Without Spots
When born, Dalmatians have a thick, white coat of fur. After about two weeks, the skin pigmentation that gives them their iconic spots will start peaking through the fur.
From there on out, whatever hair grows over the pigmented skin will be dark. Eventually, there won’t be any random white hairs on the spots. Just give it time and enjoy watching your Dalmatian puppy grow into their iconic spots.
3. The Dalmatian Can Be Sensitive
While not the most sensitive breed, Dalmatians do have a reputation for being a bit touchy, especially as puppies. In order to mitigate this, it’s recommended to expose them to as many unusual, but positive experiences as possible. This early socialization will help train them to accept unfamiliar situations as something exciting instead of something to fear.
This gives them the confidence to handle new situations in the future. Make sure to socialize them with other dogs as soon as possible, both young and old. As with any dog breed, it’s important to continue to socialize your dog throughout their life.
Because they are sensitive, they are also sensitive to the tone of voice. Although positive, reward-based training is the best approach for all dogs, it is even more important with Dalmatians.
4. They Are High-Energy Dogs
Classically bred as a working dog that had to keep up with horse-drawn carriages, the need for physical fitness is ingrained into a Dalmatian’s core being. Owners don’t have to have them race horses (even though it couldn’t hurt), but instead can use more traditional forms of exercise such as hikes, bikes, and playing catch.
Getting a dog ball launcher is a solid way to exercise a Dal, as it allows for greater distance on the ball and longer runs that will tire them out faster. However, make sure not to stretch it too much with puppies. Their bones don’t fully develop until around two years of age and doing too much before puppies finish growing can damage their developing bones and joints.
Take heed – not giving Dalmatians the exercise they need can result in one mischievous pooch, so make sure to work them out as often as possible.
5. Dals Are Very Intelligent
Dalmatians are stereotypically smart dogs. This means that from the onset, they need to be trained with a set of rules for them to follow, or else they can get mischievous. You can harness this intelligence by playing agility games that train both mind and body.
Obedience training to master basic commands, such as teaching them how to sit, stay, come, and ignore human food, are all ways to stimulate, and reward, this intelligence.
6. Dalmatian Puppies Are Prone To Hearing Problems
The most common problem in Dalmatians is deafness. 8% of Dalmatian puppies are born totally deaf, and 22% are born deaf in one ear. It’s only recently that breeders started recognizing this, so for hundreds of years, congenital deafness was allowed to continue throughout breeding lines.
Now, only bilateral hearing dogs are bred, but it’s going to take a while before this problem disappears from Dalmatians entirely. Interestingly enough, this condition is found in many albino and pigment-spotted animals, not just Dalmatians. This is due to a lack of melanocytes, a result of having a lack of melanin, the chemical that gives skin color, in their inner ears.
Therefore, if a Dalmatian is unresponsive, chances are that it’s not dumb or rebellious – it could be hard of hearing, which is something owners should try to recognize as soon as possible. Reputable breeders will screen their dogs and to avoid passing on issues like this. So, if you are considering a Dal puppy, talk to the breeder about the parents and ask about any hearing tests that have been done.
A Dalmatian puppy with unilateral or bilateral deafness can have a long and happy life with you. You will just need to take some precautions and add in some new training techniques to make sure you and your Dal puppy stay safe and can communicate.
These are just a few facts about Dalmatians. If you think this could be the right dog breed for you, learn more ae about them and then take a look at the available Dalmatian puppies.

The final verdict on Michael Westbrook’s career with the Washington Redskins rests firmly in the eye of the beholder.
Star-crossed? Underachiever? Solid?
One’s perspective may be a matter of personal taste.
There’s no question that expectations were high for the All-American wideout when the Redskins took him with the fourth overall pick of the 1995 NFL Draft. Injuries hampered Westbrook from the outset, as he missed five games his rookie year. He was fairly productive when he played, but the pattern of missing time would continue throughout his Redskins career.
Westbrook had recorded just over 1,000 yards—total—during his first two seasons, when perhaps the most memorable moment of his NFL career took place during training camp in 1997.
That August, Westbrook took exception to something injured teammate Stephen Davis said. In what may have been a harbinger of Westbrook’s future MMA career, he pounced on Davis, pummelling him so severely that Davis and the team considered pressing criminal charges. They eventually decided against doing so. Westbrook apologized and paid a hefty, $50,000 fine.
That season was another so-so, injury-impacted year. Likewise, Westbrook missed five games for the third time in his first four seasons in 1998. However, his production went up, as he caught 44 passes for 736 yards.
Westbrook was finally healthy in 1999. Playing every game, Westbrook had 65 catches for 1,191 yards and nine touchdowns. His receiving yardage and touchdowns led the team—and those efforts helped propel the Redskins to the playoffs for the first time in seven years. Washington won the NFC East and beat the Lions in the playoffs before falling to Tampa Bay.
Unfortunately, both the Skins and Westbrook reverted to form in 2000, with Washington missing the playoffs and Westbrook playing in only two games. He was back in the lineup in 2001, but a coaching / offense change was one of the reasons why Westbrook had only 664 yards on 57 catches, despite playing every game.
That was Westbrook’s last year with the Redskins. He left for the Bengals after 2001, played one season there, then left football. With Washington, he caught 277 passes for 4,280 yards and 24 touchdowns.
His only real competition at #82 is Antwaan Randle El, who played four seasons with Washington and didn’t record a 1,000-yard campaign. Randle El rates a 20 on the Pro Football Reference Approximate Value scale, while Westbrook more than doubles that figure at 42.
In the end, maybe winning the battle for #82 is a fitting tribute to Westbrook. He never achieved the level of success a team hopes for with a top-five pick. However, he did play fairly well when he was healthy, and he was an important part of a divisional title run in 1999.
And that’s just good enough to earn him the honor of being the Redskins’ all-time #82.

To automate or not to automate – This is NOT THE question
Your company is thinking about growth, pondering about the large questions of business life. You have heard that every other company in the known land, or at least in your circle, have taken on a marketing automation software and scaled up beautifully. Which means that now also you and your team are creating pros-and-cons lists, developing plans, and having debates on whether or not you should take on one of the many marketing automation tools available. In reality the question isn’t if you should or shouldn’t automate your marketing, it is when you should and what should you automate.
Marketing automation is a great tool but a bad leader
The great question your company should be asking is who will be the software’s leader? Many companies often imagine marketing automation is going to take away your work and that an AI will handle your marketing. Unfortunately, those companies realise quite quickly that marketing automation doesn’t make decisions on its own and it definitely has no idea how to communicate with people if it hasn’t been taught what to say. Which is why the software needs a leader, a parent to guide it and give it instructions. This parent needs to also keep an eye on it, evaluate its results and behaviour and adjust it when needed. This way your company will get the most out of marketing automation.
Marketing automation can be a great tool to improve customer experience…
Imagine your potential client, a new potential lead, encountering your company in one of your channels. This person downloads an excel tool you have created for improving their finances. In doing so your marketing automation takes note of this human. They have lifted their invisibility cloak and become known to you. So now you have created and designed a beautiful flow for the automation to execute. Depending on this specific person’s journey, the automation will take this person to a path. The path includes retarget marketing, personalised newsletters and tips to other useful sources for the same topic. The activities have been spaced out so that the person doesn’t get suffocated by information and different actions are taken only if this specific person clicks, visits or checks something on the predefined customer flow.
Eventually once your automation flow has reached a point where it is time to contact this person, the software sends a message to your sales who see what this person is interested in and what they have done on the flow previously. The sales team contacts this person offering a one-to-one with your advisors on personal finance. This person has a great idea of your company and they book a time with you. A beautiful automation story has just reached its first pitstop on, what will surely be, a long customer journey.
…But it can also be a tool that ruins it.
Think of the last time you added your details to a form online when downloading a guide or testing a new tool? Must have been quite recently. Then think of the customer journey that will have started from there. Did it unfold like the earlier one or like the example you are about to read.
You have just filled in your details to a form that allows you to test a platform for 7 days for free. The form is online and normally these forms only ask for your email but this one has asked your phone number as a required field, but it has also been clarified that you will only be called if there is an issue with the tool. You fill the form on Sunday.
At 7am on Monday your phone rings. You do not answer, as it is early. Then at 7:04 you get an email from the company from whom you downloaded the tool telling you about their services. Another call at 4pm. Another three emails that day. No emails the following day. You are annoyed but test out the tool and are somewhat satisfied but it doesn’t have some functions you need. You open a chatbot on the site to ask for some answers. The chatbot refuses to let to speak to a human operator, even if that is an option, as they keep telling you that they know answers to thousands of questions. You ask your question, the chatbot doesn’t know the answer but won’t let you speak to person. You send an email. An email is responded by sending you a guide that you already had (as it was sent to you when signing up for the 7 day trial). No further human contact.
On the last day of the trial you get an email at 7am. Another at 8. Next at 9 and so on for the rest of the day. At 4 pm you get a call that is your generic “buy our product” call. You voice your thoughts and you are promised further answers. After that day there is no communication. Automation path has run to its end.
This is unfortunately not an uncommon marketing automation story. In the excitement of automating daily tasks many companies have gone a little automation mad. Which has resulted in aggressive and spammy automation paths. If your company is dreaming of taking on marketing automation it is important to remember that there is always a human at the end of the automated communication. Do you want them to feel appreciated, offer them interesting and insightful information and let them lead their customer journey, or do you want to leave them feeling annoyed and attacked? This answer should be simple. Which is why you should always automate with caution and with your end client in mind.
Marketing automation doesn’t take away the human connection
When your company has grown to a size where you realise that there are regular tasks that you believe would be better automated then it is time to take on automation. When you feel like you have found a group of unknown leads that want to form their own path on your channels and search for answers in their own paste before you contact them, then you should consider automation.
Marketing automation is a great tool for improving your customers journeys online and provide better customer experiences. But all this requires you to have thought of your customer before taking on automation. If you take on automation just to help your day and take some of the load off your hands it is certain that your company isn’t going to get everything out of marketing automation. Marketing automation needs time, data and constant testing and realigning. Once you have learnt how to use it and how it can serve both you and your clients then it will eventually take some load off your hands. But you need to be willing to do the work as otherwise it will be marketing automation leading you not the other way around.

(Athens) Greek MEP Georgios Kyrtsos on Friday deplored the criminal proceedings against two journalists from his country who investigated the corruption case of Swiss pharmaceutical Novartis in Greece, saying that the indictment of journalists “will harm the ‘image of the country in the EU’.
The Novartis affair has taken a political turn, the right-wing New Democracy (ND) in power accuses the previous left-wing Syriza government (2015-2019) of having orchestrated the revelation of this affair to harm it by involving conservative politicians .
Kostas Vaxevanis, editor of a Greek newspaper very critical of the current government, is prosecuted for the crimes of “dereliction of duty” and “participation in a criminal organization” and is brought to justice on January 19, according to a judicial source .
On Tuesday, journalist Gianna Papadakou was summoned to court after being prosecuted for the crime of “participating in a conspiracy”, according to a judicial source.
Bribes from politicians
She believes she is being prosecuted for investigating politicians suspected of receiving bribes from Novartis.
“It doesn’t matter who helped turn the Novartis scandal into a hunt for political opponents, the lawsuits against Vaxevanis and Papadakou will damage our image in the EU,” Georgios Kyrtsos, member of the European People’s Party (EPP) tweeted on Friday. ) and one of the ND MEPs.
Greece fell five places on the world press rankings in 2020, according to Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and is now at 70e place out of 180 countries, behind Poland and Mongolia.
“ND and Syriza must tone down the controversy over the Novartis affair and work to demand compensation for the looting of state funds,” Georgios Kyrtsos tweeted.
The main journalists’ union in Athens also condemned the criminal proceedings against Gianna Papadakou at the end of December, stressing that investigative journalism is “a constitutive element of freedom of information”.
For its part, the international organization for the investigation of organized crime and corruption (OCCRP) said in a statement on January 4 that the criminal proceedings against Papadakou “would be an example of why the European Commission is closely monitoring freedom. of the press in Greece ”.
“The Commission’s 2022 rule of law report will continue to pay particular attention to developments concerning press freedom and the safety of journalists,” said Vera Yourova, EU Vice-President, recently quoted by OCCRP. | <urn:uuid:22c60941-b41e-4b19-b6cf-20e310243569> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.nenroll-nenroll.com/greece-two-journalists-indicted-for-their-scoop-on-a-pharmaceutical/1646342022/ | 2022-01-20T16:29:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302355.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20220120160411-20220120190411-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.93184 | 555 |
Biotechnology Process Engineering Center
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Making advances in the knowledge-base and technology-base aimed at overcoming crucial "bottlenecks" of nucleic acid therapeutics
The MIT Biotechnology Process Engineering Center (BPEC) is a world leader in the training of students in biotechnology. BPEC emphasizes a fundamental but interdisciplinary approach to integrating molecular and cell biology with process engineering, with the simultaneous goals of creating advanced biological technologies, focusing on protein and nucleic acid therapeutics, and preparing top-quality individuals for leadership in this industry. BPEC now features two major thrust areas: Therapeutic Gene Biotechnology and Therapeutic Protein Biotechnology.
The BPEC is moving its primary research direction from therapeutic protein biotechnology to therapeutic gene biotechnology, in order to attack bottleneck problems in this highly promising new area using the multidisciplinary approach proven in the Center's early years. The Center continues to maintain its emphasis on solving fundamental problems of generic importance for aiding the growth of a nascent industry.
It is widely recognized that, at the present time, the crucial bottleneck holding gene therapy back from reliable implementation lies predominantly in the area of delivery. In particular, effective delivery of a therapeutic transgene is typically limited by one or more of the following issues, depending on the approach and application: (1) longevity, or repeatability, of transgene expression; (2) selectivity of transgene expression; (3) efficiency of transgene expression; (4) regulation of transgene expression. Our new BPEC program is dedicated to creating new fundamental knowledge, enabling technology, and a systems perspective addressing these issues in focused manner, synergistically combining bio/chemical engineering with molecular cell biology.
Recognizing that different applications will require differing delivery vehicles, we are currently focusing our research efforts on two chief approach categories motivated by the issues listed above representing ex vivo and in vivo approaches, respectively. One approach category is the use of pluripotent stem cells transfected via chromosomal-integrating retroviral vectors, as an ex vivo gene delivery vehicle that can potentially offer expression longevity. Critical problems for this approach are expanding these cells to significant numbers in culture, and obtaining high transfection efficiencies for reimplantation. The second approach category is the use of nonviral targeted polyplexes as an in vivo gene delivery vehicle that can potentially offer expression selectivity and repeatable retransfection. A critical problem for this approach is transfecting cells with adequate efficiency. In both of these two approaches ex vivo stem cell delivery and in vivo targeted polyplex delivery a capability for regulating transgene expression at the tissue level using small molecule drugs is needed. We are therefore pursuing research directed toward this capability in relation to both delivery approaches. As ultimate aims we are focusing on hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy via retroviral vehicles as an ex vivo target application and on liver gene therapy via molecular conjugate vehicles as an in vivo target application. Accordingly, a centerpiece of our efforts is the development of tissue-engineered "vascularized" hematopoietic and liver cell microarrays to serve as a unique model testbed integrating all research projects.
Our efforts in the area of production and delivery of therapeutic proteins also continue vigorously. Directions of current emphasis include protein folding and glycosylation, formulation issues for protein stability, novel delivery technologies, and protein engineering for enhanced potency.
At the undergraduate level, our goal is to ensure that the students are integrated into our research thrusts for both MIT students, through MIT's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP), and students from other institutions through the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program. To expose the students to cross-disciplinary activities and teamwork, the projects are selected carefully and critically. The BPEC provides initial experiences to undergraduates and encourages students to work in industry as internees.
At the graduate level, one of the goals of the BPEC is to provide research experience related to the Center's thrusts. We ensure that the research is conducted with a spirit of teamwork and cross-disciplinary input. This is achieved by having joint faculty advisors on the doctoral thesis committees and/or thesis committee members who are from different departments and disciplines. To provide industrial perspectives on the students' training program, industrial personnel are often members of doctoral thesis committees.
An Interdepartmental Biotechnology Training Grant (BTG) program funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIGMS) is available at the BPEC. Training faculty participate from the Departments of Biology, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and Mathematics and the recently established department-level Division of Bioengineering & Environmental Health (which includes doctoral programs in Bioengineering and in Toxicology). The objective of the BTG is to continue to provide cross-disciplinary graduate education in biotechnology. The program extends into new directions related to innovative biology-based therapeutics, such as nucleic acids (e.g., vaccines, anti-sense therapies, gene therapies), engineered cell and tissue implants, and new biomaterials useful for stimulating wound healing and tissue regeneration.
Industrial and Continual Education
To ensure that the educational needs of industry are met, the BPEC provides one-week special summer courses. These one-week courses provide training on such topics as Fermentation Technology; Biotechnology; Principles and Processing; Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization; and Downstream Processing.
Other Student Outreach
Laboratory tours familiarize the public with the Center's ongoing cutting-edge research. These tours are designed for both the layman and the scientist. One important focus of this program is to reach out to both high school teachers and their students. To help pre-college students dispel any fear of science, they are given a strong insight into the ethics of laboratory research and information that helps build a curiosity and interest in biotech research.
Industrial Collaboration/Technology Transfer
The industrial activities and planning are achieved through the Industrial Consortium Advisory Board. Research collaborations and technology transfer are achieved through the Center's Industrial Consortia. Direct industrial collaborations involve BPEC's students, research staff, and faculty. These collaborative efforts involve the Center personnel working directly with companies either at the Center or at the industrial sites. Transfer of technology and information is also routinely accomplished through several other avenues, including publications, participation in thesis committees, retreats, presentations, seminars, and theses.
Research and educational programs are conducted in a variety of environments. The BPEC's Core Facility consists of ~12,000 square feet of laboratory space and houses state-of-the-art equipment. Additional facilities associated with the BPEC's faculty are available in support of the Center's programs. Due to the multi-departmental participation in this Center, our researchers have access to a number of instrumentation facilities that are operated and maintained by different MIT departments.
Center Organization and Leadership
The Director of BPEC reports directly to the Dean of Engineering and to a member of Engineering Council. The Center's Industrial Consortium Advisory Board assists in the planning and assessment of the Center's activities. The Executive Director for Research, the Executive Director for Education, the Assistant Director for Operations and Administration, and the Industrial Liaison Officer all report to the Center Director.

The World Health Organization recommends focusing attention on the neonatal period, eliminating mortality from preventable causes, and providing quality care. It is essential to know which conditions have a high probability of occurring in that population in order to monitor them systematically, detect them early, and provide timely treatment and rehabilitation.
Synthesize the recommendations contained in Directrices de práctica clínica basadas en la evidencia para el seguimiento de recién nacidos en riesgo [Evidence-based Clinical Practice Guidelines for Monitoring At-risk Newborns], published in Spanish in 2020 by the Pan American Health Organization’s Latin American Center for Perinatology, Women's Health, and Reproductive Health, with a view to producing strategies for monitoring at-risk newborns from birth up to the age of 2 years
The guidelines and recommendations were synthesized and a systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Lilacs, Health Systems Evidence, Epistemonikos, and gray literature for studies carried out in the Region of the Americas with a view to identifying barriers, facilitators, and implementation strategies.
A total of 21 recommendations and 14 good practices were formulated for application to newborns with at-risk conditions (prematurity and congenital or acquired conditions) up to 2 years of age. The barriers identified as standing in the way of their implementation were insufficient availability of screening tests, deficiencies in the referral system, and lack of awareness of the recommendations
The guidelines include recommendations for discharge criteria, screening, and frequency of monitoring for at-risk newborns up to 2 years of age in the Region of the Americas, as well as information and support for parents and caregivers | <urn:uuid:102bde13-9c36-43fb-a1ad-f06b11f4117e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.paho.org/journal/en/articles/evidence-synthesis-evidence-based-clinical-practice-guidelines-monitoring-risk-newborns | 2022-01-20T16:27:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302355.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20220120160411-20220120190411-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.901037 | 355 |
Five years ago, competitive pinball got me back into playing pinball after a 17 year break, and for the last three years I have played in two or three tournaments a month. But back in June I realized that game lineups and aspects of competition were decreasing my enjoyment of pinball (see Bursting My Tournament Bubble).
At the end of June I played in one very serious tournament, City Champ, and in July one sort of serious tournament, San Francisco Super Selfie League finals, and both left me feeling flat. Keep in mind that as pinball tournaments go both were great. Well run. Well maintained machines. Great people. But for me, the pinball varied between ok and frustrating. Sadly not that much fun.
For the next two months I unintentionally took a break from playing tournaments. I still played my favorite machines on location. I still put up selfie league scores. I still played in the Pacific Pinball Museum League. But I didn’t prioritize selfie league finals in my calendar and I didn’t look for tournaments to go to.
Then two tournaments caught my eye.
The first was the Jurrassic Park launch tournament at Phoenix Games in Concord. The tournament caught my attention because it wasn’t a normal tournament, it was doubles! Doubles sounded fun! It was also at a location that I have been meaning to get to for the last few years.
The second was the first stop on the Pinball Profile World Tour! Jeff Teolis’ Pinball Profiles was the first pinball podcast that I listened to, and it got me started learning about the larger pinball community. The tournament was a flip frenzy format at Free Gold Watch in San Francisco, but the big draw was to meet Jeff and have a fun time… on a Monday night… in the City! (People who know me understand what a big deal that is)
So here were two tournaments that I went to for reasons other than trying to win. And I had a blast!
Phoenix games was amazing. The games are in great shape, and I particularly enjoyed their Guardians of the Galaxy with the improved sound mod. Zac Wollons was an awesome partner, and if only we could have managed to both have good games at the same time we might have taken home the plaque. I think I played 10 hours of pinball and had a ton of fun.
Thank you Jeff Teolis for getting me across the bay on a work night to play pinball! I had a great time playing flip frenzy on the huge variety of pins at Free Gold Watch, and it was fun meeting new folks like Imoto, Dan from Project Pinball, and Michael from Pindigo! And of course thank you Jeff for organizing such a fun event, and putting up with me blowing up Tales of the Arabian Nights.
So what did I learn in all this?
Have fun playing pinball you idiot!!!
It is now obvious that I can have fun playing tournaments. I really was starting to question whether that was true. But the take home is that how I do in a tournament isn’t what makes it fun. It’s the people and the pinball that makes it fun.
So all I need to do is play with fun people on fun machines, and I will be in pinball paradise. This means I will probably play in fewer tournaments, but hopefully enough to keep up with all my pin friends. And hopefully I will see friends out on location when I am playing my favorite routed games.
What I won’t do is care about tournament results. I already know that I am a pretty good player, so there is no longer any reason to care about WPPRs or how I finish in any given tournament. No reason to travel to bigger tournaments just because they are worth lots of points.
We will see how the rest of the year goes.

My husband had some photo opportunities with the boy in Crowne Plaza right after breakfast, and I had my share at Nuvali, too. So who took better pictures?haha. =)
Going back to our breakfast, ang kulit ni Kyle. He was pretending to be a puppy while eating donuts. He was also making faces! Pavan was laughing at his antics!
After our Nuvali trip, we went straight to an Indian Restaurant at The Podium for dinner to honour our guest. I was a bit apprehensive that my child wouldn’t eat any at the Bombay Restaurant, but I am glad he liked the chicken curry. Pavan insisted to pay the bill!
Before the night ended, Alex and I had some quiet time together. We reminisced our wedding. All the spoofs we remembered made us end the day with a good laugh. Indeed, although the day was almost forgotten, it was and will never be valued less. | <urn:uuid:2e7ec9cd-2259-4732-8d23-e7821c1c89bf> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.shiningmom.com/ill-concede-i-almost-forgot-our-wedding-anniversary/ | 2022-01-20T16:45:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302355.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20220120160411-20220120190411-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.989276 | 199 |

An experimental setup for the optical analysis of chemo sensitive polymer films is described. Appropriate polymeric thin films are covered by micro fluidic cuvette made of glass and silicon. Images of this cuvette were taken by a high resolution CCD camera equipped with an appropriate optical filters system. The measurement mode can be shifted from transmission to fluorescence by changing the optical light path. Filters are placed automatically in the excitation and emission light path. The cuvette is connected to an automatic probe sampler and syringe pump. Complete experimental cycles are fully programmed and controlled by a Lab-View application. Here we describe the diffusion behaviour of a cross-linked polyethyleneglycole hydro gel film crafted on glass. Kinetic measurements were done using Fluoresceine. The loading and releasing was observed by the change in the fluorescence intensity. | <urn:uuid:2b7b8468-e14e-40be-8f15-dbf8b2ef4d19> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.vde-verlag.de/proceedings-de/562926179.html | 2022-01-20T16:12:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302355.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20220120160411-20220120190411-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.733724 | 348 |

Bampton is variously referred to as both a town and a village. The Domesday Book recorded that it was a market town by 1086. It continued as such until the 1890s. It has both a town hall and a village hall.
In recent years this attractive little market town has seen tourists flock to its heart given the use of the town in the now world famous costume drama, Downton Abbey.
The centre of the town has a great convenience store and Post Office, a butchers shop and three pubs. It is also surrounded by pretty villages with “gastro” pubs such as Buckland, Alvescot and Clanfield.
There is a very attractive housing stock here at all price points and nearby independent schools such as Cokethorpe School and St Hughs Preparatory School make this a popular location in which to live. | <urn:uuid:a1bb990d-2cf4-4271-9139-682728a821c7> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.west-tpc.co.uk/areas/bampton.html | 2022-01-20T18:02:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302355.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20220120160411-20220120190411-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.987281 | 181 |

Abstract: Neurodegeneration [Stroke and Alzheimer disease (AD)] is fastly becoming one of the leading causes of age-associated disability, dementia, and death. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Center for Health Statistics recently reported that AD has surpassed diabetes as a leading cause of death and is now considered the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. Unfortunately, currently no effective treatments are available against this devastating disease. In the past we have shown the preservation and improvement of cognitive tasks in depressed and demented patients after 24 and 36 months of combined pharmacological and non- pharmacological treatment. Here we present the results of our ongoing, naturalistic study, in the same outpatient setting, at the 60 month follow up. The study group consisted of 156 medically ill, physically-disabled patients with mild to moderate dementia and depression. Patients were treated with antidepressants, cholinesterase inhibitors, and NMDA antagonists, along with their regular medication regimen. Non-pharmacological intervention was centered on a home-based program of physical and cognitive exercises as well as with vitamins and supplements (multivitamins, vitamin E, L-methylfolate, alpha-lipoic acid, acetyl-l-carnitine, omega-3, and coenzyme Q-10) and diet modification. Cognitive assessments were performed yearly. After 60 months of treatment, performance of all tasks remained at or above baseline. The MMSE, Cognistat–Attention, Cognistat–Judgment, and RFFT – Total Unique Designs demonstrated significant improvement. Our results, for the first time, demonstrate arrest in cognitive decline in demented/depressed patients with multiple medical co-morbidities for 60 months. Future investigations addressing the application of a combined, integrative treatment models in clinical practices are warranted.

The book of Genesis is the foundational book of the Bible, upon which the rest of God’s revelation in Scripture is based. It is a book of beginning. It is also one of the most doubted and contested books of the Bible because many of the truths which it presents are rejected by our modern world. In the opening chapter they will delve into God, the creation (and the theory of evolution), and mankind, as well as much more. Join Pastors Nathanael Mayhew and Mark Tiefel as they journey though this important book and both rediscover and discuss the truths which it reveals which continue to have bearing on our lives today. | <urn:uuid:362f6074-39aa-40ac-9334-d661d93d5850> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://burdenblessing.org/2021/01/01/study-of-genesis-chapter-1/ | 2022-01-22T03:18:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122012907-20220122042907-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.979525 | 132 |
Below is a pruned piece of correspondence by a supplier to the Chinese purchasing office of of a German customer, reading its trouble from the discrepancy of requirements between the Chinese representative office and its headquater on product appearance. The supplier is located in Spain. At first, the purchaser European headquarter bought from it directly and sell in the European market. As the purchasing office of the purchaser got increasingly powerful, it reformed the process of placing orders. The headquarter places an order to the office which then send the order to the Spanish sales group of the supplier. After an internal coordination, the sales group places an order to the final manufacturer via its Hongkong branch and keep track of production and delivery. The Chinese purchasing office knows about the supplier’s partner factories and their contact persons. But it does not intervene the selection of manufacturers as the Spanish company has long and good relationship with German customer
“We have noticed an increasement of "QC rejected" issues. This is not good for all of us, we would like to find solutions to lower this issue and work more smoothly.
The AQL level used on the inspections is very strict but here few discussions can be done. Main issue here is the grade level of our factories. We have a lot of problems the reach the Quality Level 5 asked from your side.
We were never informed that the level was raised from 3 to 5, this is a very strict regulation which will need a lot of energy and time to for fill. We now are forced to make much more production to have a level 5 quality, and these not accepted articles are waste.
5000 kelvin inspection environment, this for us is not possible, we don't have the right installations to do this test.
Waste material, we need to produce more to have 0 defects quality.
Delivery times, if the order is rejected delivery dates are not completed.
Of course we will do our best to reach this level but it will not be easy, our commercial gain will be reduced to almost 0 because of the waste products we have to make.
Delivery dates given are respected but due to the high quality level asked, delays may appear (because of rejections). Again we will do all possible to reduce these delays to a minimum, and we will work together with the factories to go as smooth as possible.”
In fact the supplier was complaining about the different appearance quality criteria adopted by the purchaser’s headquarter and its office in China, which troubled inspectors in practice and brought potential obstacles and risks to the business. As the victim, the supplier knows clearly how its production has been changed, and what customers’ feedback on quality was and what it is under a changed order-placing process.
As for the reason—people who once touched upon the appearance criterion may have something to say—the more the people are engaged in making criterion, the harder a criterion will be settled and the harder the practice will be.
In the case, in order to establish a globally unified quality criterion and facilitate the supplier’s production, the purchaser begins to draft appearance criterion for the first time and grades the products according to their quality to satisfy different customers and markets. Suppliers are informed by the product engineer and training is given to all departments concerned by the product and the quality department.
In training, there may arise some new defects or phenomena that are not covered in the criterion, or some criterion items proved to be contradictory to the practical production which results in difficulty in production and delivery. Since quality improvement is gradual rather than explosive—products that remains the same for many years cannot change its quality due to a piece of paper in a short time— this deviating-from-practice criterion, a kind of leaping transition rather than a steady one, loses its practical significance.
Quality criterion cannot be determined only by one person or one department, which comes into being as a consensus to avoid differences and contradictions that may otherwise erupt Sonner or later. A premise to ensure a steady improvement in quality is to train all the people concerned and calibrate their identifying ability. Inspectors can be regarded as a measurement tool and each person has their own scale, which is neither sheerly quantitative nor sheerly qualitive and thus cannot be calibrated in the common way conventionally or judged by GR&R.
Sun Wukong, a fictitious character in an ancient Chinese novel, is able to tell human-like monsters apart at a glance with his fiery golden eyes that penetrates all. Powerful as he is, he once has his plantain fan which he has procured with great efforts stolen by monsters, proving the saying that even Humor sometimes nods. If we cannot achieve 100% correction, 90% is compromisingly ideal; the result of GR&R should not be 0 to demonstrate the reliability of tests. So it is the same with training in which all trainees should not be required to produce perfect outcomes. Let alone the criterion may be forced to rise in practice by customers and the market. According to the author’s experience, the training should combine theory and practice, first training on theory and then on practice. Besides, trainings should be coupled with examinations. To conclude it in a currently popular style, training without examination is being a rogue.
The theoretical training and examination are easy to understand. The conventional practice is to test and grade trainees concerning the training content whether in an open- or close-book form, and those who reach a certain grade pass the examination. The practical examination requires more efforts to test out trainees’ true ability because a qualified inspector should not look up the criterion every time a defect is spotted. The author thinks the following steps can serve as reference.
- 按书面标准要求准备检验环境，比如投影仪，秒表，光源箱，眼镜，外观检验卡(见http://supplierlifecycle.com/aesthetic-quality/)，卷尺，纯棉手套，铺有防擦伤布检查台，不良品容器箱等。因此通常各公司规定的要求里少不了每个面或产品的观察时间以及观察距离，同时充足的光线和色温也会影响鉴别结果。设计并准备好记录用的纸张和笔，箭头标签纸。Prepare inspection environment as required, such as projector, stopwatch, light box, glasses, appearance inspection card (see in http://supplierlifecycle.com/aesthetic-quality/), tape measure, cotton gloves, check stand with anti-abrasion cloth, defective products containers, etc. Usually companies also stipulate the inspection time and distance for each product. Meanwhile, the degree of light and color temperature can have an effect on the results. Design and prepare note sheets, pens and arrow marking labels .
- 对常见的产品类型从批量生产的产品中各抽取10个样品，当然可以更多，也尽量覆盖标准中的所有缺陷现象为佳。其中有好坏产品数量不一，并标号编号，以便登记不同的鉴定者的检查结果。切勿标示缺陷在供测试的样品上，因为目的就是考验检查者发现瑕疵的能力。Select ten or more samples of a product in one mass production, better to cover all the defects listed in the criterion. Good and defective products differ in number, and they are numbered so as to make records easier. Do not make a mark on the defective products that tells them apart for the examinees are supposed to do the job to prove their defect-discovering ability.
- 邀请一个经核准的经验丰富的产品工程师或质量代表作为“考官”先给各个样品评级，并记录下评定结果以及瑕疵现象。Invite a checked experienced product engineer or quality representative as the examiner who first grades each sample and record the inspecting results and defects.
- 请各鉴定者随机检查所有的样品，同时也请鉴定者不仅仅只是观察并评价外观的接受否，而且需要记录有“缺陷”时所观察到的瑕疵，因为经常会发现评价者判“不可接受”不是因为其发现了该观察到的缺陷，而是发现了其他不需要特别留意的不在考核范围的其他瑕疵。如果检查时有疑问，先自主查阅标准。如果可行，也可以请各鉴定者多随机鉴别一次，以检查其“重复性”鉴别的能力。Ask each inspector to check all the samples randomly, and record not only a product’s appearance is acceptable or not, but also the specific defects if a product is defined to be defective. Chances are that a product sample is identified as unacceptable by an inspector due to pointless details not covered in the criterion. Inspectors should refer to the criterion first when questions arise in the process. If possible, they can be allowed for one more identifying chance to test out their repeatability.
- 登记所有鉴定者的检查结果，打印或者投影出来给每位鉴定者，比较每次同“考官”的一致性，并最终汇总总的一致性比例，并同预先设定的目标值对比，满足即为合格，否则不合格，重新准备考核。Register the inspection results of all the inspectors. Print it or project it on the screen so that every one can see it. Compare the consistency between each one’s record and that of the examiner. Finally summarize a general consistency rate and compare it with the pre-determined target value. Those who meet the target value pass the examination while those who fail will be re-examined.
- 作为最后一个环节，也是培训中经常容易忽略的环节，就是反馈结果。考完了，得到了最后评分，但是不晓得错在哪里。这个时候需要重新将样品按序排好，按每一个同大家回顾各自的打分以及备注的瑕疵，将最终确认的瑕疵范围用笔圈起来，防止被人为有意无意的扩大，其次用箭头标签指示出来，在箭头标签上注明人员，日期，瑕疵内容，以及可接受的程度。作为今后的再次培训，可以将样品封存保留。The last step is feedback, which is the step most easily to be overlooked in training. It is possible that inspectors get the final score after the examination, not knowing where their mistakes are. In this case, rearrange the samples in number,go through all the defects and each inspector’s judgement, as well as their score, finally circle and mark the defects which are agreed between examiner and inspectors to ensure the defects are clearly being understood and only limited to in case in future extra defects are made. Later indicate them with arrow labels on which the inspector’s name, date, defects and acceptance degree are listed. The samples can be preserved for later training.
- 为确保人员一直拥有稳定的鉴定能力，还应该结合实际工作中的表现定期或者不定期再次参照以上样品重新培训，因为人的视觉容易形成一种审美疲劳，看的时间久了，鉴别能力就容易下降，对瑕疵熟视无睹。To ensure that they keep their identifying ability stable, new trainings of this kind should be held regularly or irregularly on the basis of the inspectors’ performance in work. It is because inspectors may be less alert to defects after a period of time due to aesthetic fatigue which weakens the identifying ability.
如果没有经过以上或者类似的培训并反复校准，很难说大家对瑕疵的鉴别能力是一致的。如果在生产检验环节随机挑两位检验员并按以上的方法进行到第5步，你会惊奇的发现，工作了很久的熟练工其实只是动作上的熟练工，检验结果其实并不准确，熟练并不与准确相等。就像很多人写了多少年的汉字，其实你发现依旧很潦草，一笔一划难以识别，同时很可能笔画的顺序也是错的。It is hard to claim that inspectors have equal ability in identifying defects without being repeatedly calibrated by the above or similar trainings. Randomly choose two inspectors go through the above steps until step 5, and you will surprisingly find that although they are skilled in motion, the results are not so correct—being skilled does not equal to being correct. It is the same with handwriting. Some are skilled at writing but not good at it. They just scrabble in wrong stroke orders.
布卢姆（Bloom’s Taxonomy）将学习的认知分为6个阶段：知道（Remembering）、理解 (Understanding)、运用 (Applying)、分析 (Analysing)、评价 (Evaluating)及创新 (Creating)。 According to Bloom’s Taxonomy, the study recognition process consists of 6 stages: remembering, understanding, applying, analysing, evaluating and creating.
知道：对先前学习过的知识材料的回忆，包括具体事实、方法、过程、理论等的回忆。Retrieving, recognizing, and recalling relevant knowledge from long-term memory.
理解：把握知识材料意义的能力。Constructing meaning from oral, written, and graphic messages through interpreting, exemplifying, classifying, summarizing, inferring, comparing, and explaining.
运用：把学到的知识应用于新的情境。Carrying out or using a procedure through executing, or implementing.
分析：把复杂的整体材料分解为组成部分，并理解各部分之间的联系的能力。Breaking material into constituent parts, determining how the parts relate to one another and to an overall structure or purpose through differentiating, organizing, and attributing.
评价：对材料（如论文、小说、诗歌、研究报告等）做价值判断的能力。Making judgments based on criteria and standards through checking and critiquing.
创新: 将所有的元素形成一个相互关联的整体：通过创造，计划及加工，重新排列元素形成一个新的样式或结构Putting elements together to form a coherent or functional whole; reorganizing elements into a new pattern or structure through generating, planning, or producing.
作为外观检验员，将标准的理解运用在实际的工作当中就已经够了，但是如果对标准的掌握能力没有经过校准，那光有熟练也是徒劳。It is enough for an appearance inspector to put his or her understanding of criterion into work. But the inspector will work in vain before the understanding of criterion is calibrated.

Mobile crusher’s significant advantage
Mobile crusher’s significant advantage is of small size and approaching to the site directly and put into production anytime. Because the mobile crusher is building on the surface of earth, it can be widely used in different production of mining projects.
Mobile crusher plant’s importing eliminates the complex steel structure and basic building, which save a lot of time. Mobile crusher can select the destination directly and go to your sites without transportation, reaching the size of finished product. Especially for a small site, it is suitable for handling with the construction waste and crushing the construction waste. Simultaneously, it lowers the investment cost as well as increases the profit.
The capacity of mobile crusher:
a. It is not only used for crushing the wasted bituminous concrete and construction waste, but also can crush the ore and rocks with pressure-resistant of 300MPa with widely use.
b. Capacity of 100 ton per hour.
c. The longest of feeder is 700 mm.
d. The crushing unit is impact crusher with 2 or 4 breakers.
e. The power unit is Duets AG diesel engine.
f. The operation manner is on-ship control using wireless control or wired remote control.
g. Multifunction of coarse crushing and grinding.
h. Vibration automatic feeding system.
i. Rule of remote control the hydraulic pressure fault grinding machine.
j. Controlled AG overload.
k. Mobile crusher’s water sprays system of dust.
l. Crusher’s magnetic selecting machine separates the metal in concrete.
m. The generator set satisfies the remote area.
n. Compact structure with well influence (19-23ton), the largest transportation size: 8200 mm long, 2460 mm wide, 2950 mm high, this can be used by the wireless remote to move the flat bet truck up and down as well as the easy overload of trailer.
Liming tire type mobile crusher is the original rock and stone crushing equipment, which expand the concept area of coarse and fine crushing. This design concept concentrates on the customer’s site, taking eliminating the obstacle which is led by the crushing site, environment and complex basic foundation as the first solving solution. Genuinely take a simple, efficiency, low cost project running hardware equipment. | <urn:uuid:6a5d3452-263a-4f96-b5ca-d7914765d4ab> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://www.crusherindustry.com/index.php/mobile-crusher-works-anytime-anywhere/ | 2022-01-22T02:44:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122012907-20220122042907-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.893439 | 488 |
My husband, Jack, has the smallest little penis I have ever seen in my life. I don't even fuck him anymore... it's THAT small LOL. Recently, I've been inviting my girlfriends over for special surprises. They get all excited thinking about what it could be. Then when they show up and see that their surprise is that they have to jerk, suck and fuck my husband's pathetic little penis, they are not very happy. But we have fun anyway, laughing at Jack and his dick and talking all about what kinds of big dicks we like to fuck, and i'll tell you one thing.

Welp. Had a birthday. It’s my 39th. I contemplated denying turning 39 and just telling people I was 38 again, since people still seem to say “oh my gosh I thought you were still in college,” regardless of the fact that I have definite wrinkles. My favorite pharmacist advised me to own my age, going on the logic that as long as I am honest about my chronological age and tell people how old I am (and as long as I look a little younger than I am) that I will still get ego-boosting affirmations from people amazed at the fact that I’m 39 (and then 40, and then 41).
I had a nice birthday weekend. My super fantastic mom knocked herself out to make it special and got me flattering but comfortable clothes so that I don’t feel bad that I’ve put on 10-15 pounds since the wedding. It’s mainly because of the fact that I eat a giant baked potato from Jason’s Deli at least once a week. They’re as big as my head, and delicious.
Considering I had to go back through my photos to find this picture (March, 2015), and I’ve had at least one of these a week, I have a bit of a potato baby.
Boyfriend (aka Husband) got me a fantastic monkey lamp, as well.
That thing is pretty cool.
I got lots of great presents, people gave me love on Facebook, called me, texted me…
I’m lucky. Very, very lucky.
On the work front, still trucking along. Freelancing, working at W.E. Buy, and tutoring.
Overall, I’m pretty happy to be on the planet another year. And maybe I’ll go to every two weeks on the potatoes. I would like to stay on the planet for a long time. | <urn:uuid:2d8bdac6-9624-46b8-a0a4-30a9b7921cd6> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://www.notalwaysaboutmonkeys.com/2016/03/22/monkey-lamps-and-almost-40/ | 2022-01-22T02:12:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122012907-20220122042907-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.976395 | 405 |

This gave me Serendipity vibes!
This book follows the story of Arthur and Ben who ran into each other at the Post Office. Arthur is in New York for the summer and has an internship at his mother’s law office and Ben just broke up with his boyfriend and was trying to post a box with all of his ex’s things. They have a conversation and immediately feel a connection but loose each other in a crowd.
First of all this was hella cute! I was pretty much immediately enraptured by the storyline and was highly engaged throughout. I loved seeing them going about their lives after this pretty small interaction but unable to forget each other because of the connection that they felt for that brief period of time.
I found Arthur terribly endearing and adorable. He felt very genuine and real in his awkwardness. He hasn’t had a lot of experience with other boys and he has lived a very sheltered life in comparison to Ben. I like how honest Arthur is with everyone and isn’t afraid to share his feelings. I liked that he finally spoke up and shared his feelings with his friends and they eventually explained what was happening and why. Ben I liked but didn’t really love. He has his own insecurities and idiosyncrasies and also isn’t afraid to speak up for himself. I loved the relationship he shares with Dylan and how comfortable they are with each other.
I like that both characters are flawed and regularly make mistakes and say the wrong thing but the other will definitely call them out on it and they both grow together. Their whole relationship was quite charming and their dates were hilariously disastrous.
The premise as a whole I thought was interesting and had me intrigued. The overall plot was a little bit predictable though and the ending was a little underwhelming for me but it was also pretty realistic so I can’t really complain. Happy endings don’t always happen in real life and summer flings sometimes don’t last.

I remember one particularly brutal Halloween about 1996 or so, when the weather started out fine, but by mid-day the north wind was howling, the temperature dropped, and a storm was coming for sure. Weather in Texas is like that sometimes. The only down side to this particular day was the fact that I was scheduled to sit in a dunking booth to raise money for our Youth department to take a mission trip. Good natured as I am, I committed to sit in freezing weather while everyone threw baseballs at a target, all in the hope they would strike the plate that would immerse me in ice cold water. I’ve never been a fan of dunking booths since.
I was able to use this illustration though many times about what immersion really means. Growing up in West Texas, I was always partial to southwestern slang. I listened as a young man when our pastor would teach about baptism, he described it as “We dunk ’em under till they bubble.” Everyone laughed, even after years of hearing it, we knew it wasn’t true, but it was fun to watch the newbies about to be baptized and see them grimace and squirm.
Did you know there is more to this whole immerse thing we call baptism, and that there are actually Biblical images seldom taught about the whole experience? Jesus gave His followers a very simple three step commission about how to begin and to build the church after He ascended back to heaven. Matthew 28:19-20 says, “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
People who take that initial step across the line of faith and believe in Jesus as savior, are called disciples here. The very first step of obedience in discipleship is to be baptized. The original Greek word used in this verse is βαπτίζω (bap-tid’-zo), and means to submerge, or immerse. I believe Jesus used this word on purpose to illustrate what actually should happen when a person becomes a new believer. In the first century when people would make robes for the rich, they would take fine fabric and immerse the material in a vat of dye. They would used wooden paddles to make sure every part of the fabric was immersed and absorbed the dye into every single strand. Jesus used this illustration to help the early disciples know that baptism means that we are giving every fiber of our being to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in baptism. We recognize he has rescued us from darkness, and brought us into His marvelous light. Therefore we give to Him, our complete and total self in the act of baptism… we are immersed in Christ.
Today, folks around the world find all sorts of activities to immerse themselves in, including sports, politics, their job, chasing money, clothes, cars and power. When a person finds their true purpose for living is to bring God glory, they are only able to stop chasing these other pursuits, by immersing themselves in learning all that God wants them to learn from His word. That’s why the last part of the commission is to teach these new disciples, how to be disciples. My goal today is to help new disciples young and old to learn about our future on earth, and our future in heaven. Your can read more about that here.

8. What do I need to remember before using drones for professional purposes?
- Professional drone use for commercial activity can threaten people’s privacy and data protection, which are protected by law in the EU.
- The threat to privacy and data protection that a drone could pose would depend on its use, as well as what kind of equipment it has, e.g. microphones, cameras, GPS, etc.
- Privacy concerns can arise when using drones both in private, as well as public settings. Use your best judgment on whether or not people believe they are in a more private setting and respect their privacy accordingly.
- Activities that could especially threaten privacy include: the collection of images and other visual data; the capture of a particular person over a prolonged period of time; and/ or capturing information that could reveal very personal aspects about people, including their religious or political beliefs.
- Drones could cause people to be concerned about their privacy even if they are not equipped with a camera. Remember to be as transparent and visible as possible.
- Data protection concerns arise when you collect information that allows the identification of people. Remember that sometimes people could be identified from the context of the capture, even if their faces are not clearly visible.
- If you have captured a person’s image with a clearly visible face, that is considered personal data. You will have to follow data protection principles to ensure you comply with the law.
- Think of the best way for you to use drones in your professional/ commercial activities without capturing private aspects of people’s lives. In any event, always:
- Inform people of your activities
- Ask them for their consent, if you believe they will be captured
- Treat the collected information securely
- Comply with their wishes on what you can and cannot do with the information.
- Do not target and pursue a specific individual in your activities without their knowledge and consent.
- Do not share the information of anyone with third parties unless that person has consented to it.
- Before you use the personal data of anyone for any purpose, make sure they know what you want to use it for and that they agree to it. Do not use the data for anything else. | <urn:uuid:b384cd7e-051f-4915-b773-3778abbfaece> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://dronerules.eu/en/professional/resources/handbook-prof/8-what-do-i-need-to-remember-before-using-drones-for-professional-purposes | 2022-01-22T02:03:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122012907-20220122042907-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.952963 | 460 |
Hi! I’m Cathy, a 35-year-old single mom of two amazing kids, editor, journalist, and huge skincare fan. I also happen to have achondroplasia (a form of dwarfism). Below is a first-person voice essay about how and why I got into skincare and what this means for me as a Disabled woman but before I get into this, I just want to preface it with the warning that the beginning of my story is kinda sad. If you stick around though, I promise, it gets better.
I was incredibly shy as a child, afraid of everyone and everything. I’d feign sickness to excuse myself from events, and I’d say I couldn’t physically manage things even when I could. I used my size as an invisibility cloak, shrinking myself as much as possible into every corner and behind every shadow I could find.
I wore oversized clothing in drab colours. I went along with what all the other kids said and did, often without even voicing my agreement. I so badly didn’t want to be noticed or to stand out, I so badly didn’t want the other kids to realise again that I was different, because every time they did, I was painfully reminded that they didn’t like what they saw.
Growing up wasn’t easy. The height difference became much more contrasted. Whilst my body was busy maturing in the same way that it was for the other girls my age, I somehow wasn’t allowed to be part of the same conversations they indulged in, namely around boys they wanted to kiss, menstruation, hormonal changes and even make up. I wasn’t invited to sleepovers and parties or on dates. I was, unintentionally but consistently, infantilised by everyone around me. Both my peers and fully-grown adults still saw me as a child instead of a young woman; they couldn’t understand why I’d have the same teenage feelings and experiences. By this time I’d found my voice a bit, but I still felt, very much, invisible.
One of the ways I calmed my anxiety through adolescence was to pick constantly at my skin. Any slight imperfection, bump, graze, spot (zit), my nimble fingers would hack away at it until it bled. The wounds would begin to heal and I’d be itching to start the process all over again. It wasn’t purely an anxiety-calming method, but rather a deep frustration I felt with what everyone else saw when they looked at me. Baby, child, anomaly, freak show. Whatever they thought, whatever they gossiped about, all I knew was that I wasn’t one of them and at the time that, to me, felt like a failure on both our parts.
It will come as no surprise if you’ve read this far that I wasn’t into skincare or make up as a teenager. I’d occasionally dab a little sparkly lip gloss or an awful oily concealer on to cover up the acne scars, but I rejected the idea that I needed to look after my body, largely because I felt my body had always failed me. It hadn’t done what it was supposed to do, it was the reason I was rejected.
I’d avoid looking in the mirror to see the Disabled body that was mine because I was tired of owning it.
When I became an adult, and as I found genuine friends and then love, some of those feelings shifted and healed, but not all of them. I started experimenting more with bold colours in my clothing and bright eyeshadows, I felt able to express myself more fully than I had before. But I still neglected my skin, and I avoided the mirror at all costs.
It was only in lockdown 2020, at the ripe old age of 34, when I found myself stuck at home for weeks on end with nobody to see and nothing to do, and I felt I couldn’t hide any longer. I wasn’t unhappy by any stretch but there were demons I needed to address. I began therapy, which changed my life completely, and I also started having a skincare routine for the first time in my life.
I read up about how to have the perfect 7 step routine to transform your skin and I bought loads of products and I used them, every day, twice a day (and still haven’t forgotten a single step yet). I continued reading and exploring, even now, and find such enjoyment discovering new amazing brands or formulas I haven’t tried yet.
I have shared publicly about my skincare journey on my Instagram. I was initially incredibly nervous to do this because visibly Disabled people + the beauty industry is not, even in 2021, a favourable collocation, but I am both thankful and relieved to continue to receive a lot of public support. I felt it was important to share this aspect of my life because it’s hard, it’s such a challenge, especially when pushing against ongoing visceral exclusion of my body, to fight it, to say “no, I deserve to be seen here. I deserve to treat myself, to nourish this body.” Because this body is beautiful, and not just because it’s unusual, or for its scars, but because it just is.
When I was a teenager, we were all using 56k dial-up modems and teenchat rooms and there just wasn’t this kind of accessible influencer culture we have now. So I kinda think hey, if someone sees me sharing about my journey of self-love and can resonate with even a small part of it, then it’s worth it. Because when I was a teenager, I would’ve done anything to have had someone like me to let me know it was going to be alright. To let me know my body was important, incredible and would one day be loved, yes by others, but more importantly by myself. | <urn:uuid:c1ecdeaa-1ddf-4a8d-88ab-8c686ba92919> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://edit.sundayriley.com/my-skincare-journey-life-with-dwarfism/ | 2022-01-22T02:52:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122012907-20220122042907-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.979658 | 1,260 |

Jared James Abrahams hacked into the computers of at least two dozen women – including beauty queen Cassidy Wolf – and secretly took photographs of them in states of undress via their webcams.
Abrahams then threatened to post the intimate pictures on social media websites, unless his victims agreed to send additional photos or stripped off during a Skype video chat.
You can imagine just how wretched the young female victims – agreed between 16 years old and their early 20s – must have felt. Indeed, as I have reported before, people who have been blackmailed in this way have in the past tragically turned to suicide.
The BBC reports that Abrahams has now pleaded guilty to three counts of extortion and one count of unauthorized access of a computer, and is likely to serve over two years in a federal prison.
He is scheduled to be sentenced in March.
To her credit, Cassidy Wolf, who apparently was a classmate of Abrahams, did not buckle to his blackmail threats, and has used her platform as a beauty pageant winner to warn other young people of the risks posed by webcams.
As the hacker’s guilty plea was heard, the Miss Teen USA winner posted a message on Twitter:
— Miss Teen USA (@MissTeenUSA) November 12, 2013
If you’re worried that hackers might be able to see you through your webcam, take care over the links you click on and the software you install on your computer, keep your security patches and anti-virus software up-to-date and consider sticking a band-aid over the webcam when you don’t want to use it.
And, if you’re sexually inadequate, and thinking of getting some cheap kicks out of hacking into other people’s webcams, realise that you might well end up stuck in a prison cell with just cold porridge for company.

Spring is beautiful and full of symbolism emanating not only from nature but our traditions and beliefs. It is a time of renewal, resurrection, change, liberation & new life. Just look around you, everything is blooming...well at least in LA, but soon enough it will everywhere (in the Northern hemisphere :)
Whether you are celebrating nature, resurrection or liberation this week, transition is something they all have in common. Transition is not always easy even when leading to something wonderful. In fact, transition is often difficult and hectic.
I like to reflect on the most meaningful transition period I have experienced, and which amply represents all of the symbolisms of this season.
The first days of becoming a mother were the hardest of my life but also the richest. For the first time I became an adult responsible for two little babies that needed to be fed and taken care of. At first I had a very hard time with breastfeeding and after a C-section I was slowly recovering.
When the babies were only three months old, Ron & I were on the escalator going up to our seats at a concert hall. Suddenly an elderly lady in front of us collapsed and fell backwards like a board...right onto us. I grabbed her head an inch away from the metal edge of the moving stair, probably saving her life, but the force and my stance were such that my knee instantly dislocated.
I collapsed unable to move as the escalator was continuing to quickly move up and forward. It was going to be an ugly pileup at the end. I pushed off with my one good leg and Ron somehow managed to carry me off and put me down on the ground as the hordes rushed to their seats. The lady came to and continued to her seat saying to her friend "At least I'm alright." I kid you not.
Well, here I was an invalid mom. What I was hoping would be a couple of weeks of recovery became many months on crutches and the inability to carry my babies. Apparently a knee dislocation is a very serious injury and far worse than a broken bone. Doctors said I will never run, dance or ski again. I vowed to prove them wrong and certainly that I will walk before my babies. I did...and I run, dance and ski. But this transition was extremely difficult and required all the strength, courage and will I had.....and a husband who was called into duties ordinarily not assigned to dad.
Easter and Passover are filled with stories of difficult transitions leading to new beginnings. I am not well qualified to provide a sermon on that....but I would like to reflect on another transition which can be difficult but very rewarding.
Most of us grew up with sweets as the ultimate reward. Sugar gives us a surge in dopamine levels and the dopamine receptors in our brain provide us immense addictive pleasure. There is a horrible price to pay for that pleasure as sugar is one of the most toxic substances and it will kill us.
Transitioning to a completely refined sugar free life, and for that matter processed food free life, can be a tough process. Yet after comes freedom from addictive substances and true appreciation for food and nourishing delicacies.
It is amazing how our taste buds change. It does not take long before what used to be not sweet enough is just right....and often too sweet. Before we launched the company I was already long sugar free. My first truffle recipes were 95% dark chocolate. I loved them just like that. Most people thought they were not sweet enough....my husband and partner Ron too. We used to experiment with different levels of our nourishing raw honey and pure maple syrup. Ultimately we ended up at 88% organic raw dark chocolate. I thought it was a bit too sweet and he thought it was still not sweet enough, but it was a compromise which I think was the right decision for most health minded chocolate eaters.
What's funny is that now Ron thinks that not only are the truffles perfect, but he's surprised at how sweet they actually taste to him. He's changed.
So the message here is don't be afraid of a transition period. The reward awaits you....no crutches required.
I wish everyone of you a wonderful Spring, Easter and Passover celebration.

Tech Companies Will Lead the Israeli Economy Within a Decade, Says Israeli Venture Capitalist Chemi Peres
Mr. Peres is a co-founding partner at Israeli venture capital firm Pitango and the son of Late Israeli President Shimon Peres
Within a decade technology companies are going to lead the Israeli economy, said Nechemia (“Chemi”) Peres, a co-founding partner at Israel-based venture capital firm Pitango Venture Capital and the son of late Israeli President Shimon Peres. While Israel is known for being a hotbed of young startups, most successful Israel based technology firms get acquired early on by multinationals. Only a handful, have become long-lived public companies employing over a thousand employees.

“Seven out of the ten highest-valued companies in the U.S. are technology companies,” said Mr. Peres speaking at a conference on tax and finance held last week in Tel Aviv by accounting and consultancy firm BDO Ziv Haft, an Israeli member of the Brussels-based BDO international, and by Israeli law firm Goldfarb-Seligman.
According to Mr. Peres, one of the most meaningful global shifts is the move from land and natural resources-based national and economic strength, to an era where economic power is delivered through technology, science, and innovation.
Mr. Peres also commented on the link between technological advancement and social responsibility, saying that Israelis should strive to be less politically divided and instead focus on moving forward with technology and innovation. “We have a country with exceptional abilities, and it is important that we all understand that the world is rapidly changing,” Mr. Peres said. “We must stand for science and technology, as that is where we draw our power, but at the same time we must make sure no one gets left behind.” | <urn:uuid:40411011-6497-457d-8365-d08ad7578282> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://m.calcalistech.com/Article.aspx?guid=3727001 | 2022-01-22T03:12:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122012907-20220122042907-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.951354 | 402 |

I recently published a post Charlestown, Cornwall With Sailing Ships In The Harbour but the harbour isn't always full of ships, as can be seen in today's post.
The photo above shows just one sailing ship - but it is a popular one, as it has featured in the popular Poldark television series.
Below is the narrow bridge across the narrowest part of Charlestown Harbour.
The next photo shows some of the old cottages looking down on the harbour. Several of them are now rented out to holiday makers.
All quiet, other than the Charlestown Rowing Club returning.
Only one boat moored temporarily in the harbour.
More cottages and the flags are out, though the Union Flag has got into a bit of a tangle.
And a row of terraced cottages - this time with Cornwall's St.Piran's flags on display.
Finally some movement as a small craft returns to the harbour.
I like Charlestown at any time of year. I have no doubt mentioned this before, but we chose to visit here on the first morning of the new millennium. It was foggy and damp but, looking back from the harbour wall, with no one else about, it was like stepping back in time to the late 1700s. Who says time travel isn't possible!

Above is Duporth beach, which can only be accessed from Cornwall's coastal path - this entails a walk, either from Porthpean or Charlestown.
The photos are in sequence from the beach and heading towards Charlestown.
The beach itself is gently sloping and a mixture of sand and shingle. The name Duporth means two coves in the Cornish language. On some maps it is shown as 'Du Porth.'
Probably needless to say, but there are no facilities - toilets etc - on the beach.
The coastal path is quite easy to walk though there are inevitable ups and downs. Backing on to the path, by the beach, are several modern housing estates which have access to the beach.
The site for the estates was previously a holiday seaside camp and was used during World War 2 as accommodation for American and Indian troops. After the war it became a holiday camp once more - until it was sold for housing.
As you walk along the coastal path towards Charlestown there are some historical remains such as the Crinnis Cliff Battery as described in the notice below. I'll reprint the wording just in case you are using a small screen:
CRINNIS CLIFF BATTERY:
Sometimes known as Charlestown Gun Battery, it was constructed by Charles Raleigh c.1792 to defend the entrance to his new harbour at Charlestown. The estate workers were formed into a Company of artillery volunteers, and held regular gun-drill here until 1896. The armament was four 18-pounder cannon up to 1860 when these were exchanged for 24-pounders. Later 32-pounders with a range of 2 miles were used.
Within these defensive walls remain the gun platforms, the anchor stones for a flagstaff, and the ruins of a gunpowder magazine. The side-arms equipment for working the guns was stored in a lean-to shed against the battery wall.
The mentioned gunpowder magazine is shown below.
The views inland now show the beginnings of Charlestown.
Finally from the cliffs we can see the outer wall of Charlestown Harbour. It's now downhill all the way to Charlestown.
Note: If walking from Porthpean to Charlestown, along the coastal path, the distance is approximately 3 miles.

Prior to going on holiday I made a quick visit to Charlestown harbour. I had heard that there were several sailing ships in dock.
I didn't have a lot of time but snapped a few photos as I walked.
There was a stall using the Poldark name to entice people to have a free taster of their various alcoholic drinks - over 18's only, of course. Some of the Poldark scenes were filmed here.
From the harbour wall the masts of the sailing ships looked quite a muddle - but an interesting muddle!
Again, looking from the harbour wall, this time over the small beach. The Charlestown Rowing Club were just returning
One of the rowing boats was also on the harbourside.
By the harbour was another stall selling items made from sea-glass and other treasures found on the beaches.
The cottages look down on the sailing ships from on high.
And, to finish with, a few more sails. It's always interesting wandering around Charlestown Harbour.

Apologies that there haven't been any Cornwall posts for a short while. I have been away in Lanzarote, Canary Islands.
I have taken the liberty of a publishing a couple of random photos from the island.
The photo above is leaving Exeter, England by plane and below is a view of Lanzarote's volcanic countryside - perhaps not everyone's cup of tea!
I quite like the scenery though, certainly very different from Cornwall.
But there are also some pleasant beaches and ...
… also some very busy beaches - the sort that has no appeal to me, but each to their own taste. I like a bit of elbow room on the beach.
And to finish with a couple of Lanzarote birds.
The one below I believe is a Hoopoe, though I called it an upside down bird.
… because from some angles the bird looks to be upside down!
Anyway, apologies for the lack of Cornwall photos, hopefully normal service will be resumed.

The author Daphne Du Maurier made her home for many years at a large house on the Cornish Menabilly estate - this was the ancestral seat of the Rashleigh family.
The first line of her book, Rebecca, reads "Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again. It seemed to me I stood by the iron gate leading to the drive …" Manderley is Menabilly.
Her book The King’s General was inspired by the history of Menabilly during the 1600s.
Unfortunately the house cannot be seen by the public, as it is well hidden.
The only photo I have of the Menabilly House is the black and white photo above, showing Daphne Du Maurier and her children.
What can be seen, though, is the cottage and boathouse as shown at the top of this post. This is where Rebecca would entertain her guests and where she was supposedly murdered.
So many of Du Maurier's books are based in this part of Cornwall - it is often referred to as 'DuMaurier country'
The lake, as below, was made in the thirties by damming a small stream. This part of the estate can be clearly seen by walkers or people visiting the small beaches.
During World War Two lights were fixed around the lake to confuse any enemy aircraft. Nearby Fowey was a port used for the build up to the D-Day landings. Over 2,000 American troops were based in the area.
Going back to the cottage, this is by the sea and there are small beaches nearby, notably Polridmouth (pronounced Pridmouth). There aren't normally too many people about.
Along the coast Gribbin Head can be seen and the red and white striped beacon.
In her book,Rebecca, Du Maurier writes:
And I thought of the tide, how swift it ran and strong into the little cove. The wind blew down from the headland like a funnel. I got the boat out into the bay. I got her out there beyond the beacon …"
And below a clearer photo of the daymark Gribbin tower.
I have written before that I love this stretch of coastline.
As for Daphne du Maurier (1907-1989) she moved away from Menabilly in 1965 following her husband's death. She remained in Cornwall, near Par, in a house called Kilmarth - which she used as a setting for her book The House on the Strand.

A further tale from The drolls, traditions, and superstitions of old Cornwall by Robert Hunt (1807 -1887). This tries to explain who are the Knockers, often mentioned in stories of Cornish tin mines. It appears that Charles Kingsley (1819-1875) posed the question: 'Who are the Knockers?' This was the reply:
One Saturday night I had retired to rest, having first seen that all members of the household had gone to their bedrooms. These were my daughters, two female servants and an old woman named Mary, who was left by the proprietor in charge of the house which I occupied.
I had some time in bed when I distinctly heard a bedroom door open and footsteps which, after moving about for some time in the passage or landing, from which the bedrooms opened, slowly and carefully descended the stairs.
I heard a movement in the kitchen below, and the footsteps again ascended the stairs and went into one of the bedrooms. The noise continued so long, and was so regularly repeated that I began to fear lest one of the children were taken suddenly ill. Yet I felt assured, if it was so, one of the servants would call me. Therefore I lay still and listened until I fell asleep.
On the Sunday morning, when I descended to the breakfast-room, I asked the eldest of the two servants what had occasioned so much going up and down stairs in the night. She declared that no one had left their bedrooms after they had retired to them.
I then enquired of the younger girl, and each of my daughters as they made their appearances. No one had left their rooms - they had not heard any noises.
My youngest daughter, who had been after this enquiry of mine for some minutes alone with the youngest servant, came laughing to me.
"Papa, Nancy says the house is haunted and that they often heard strange noises in it."
So I called Nancy; but all I could learn from her was that noises, like men going up and down stairs, of threshing corn and 'beating the borer' (a mining operation) were not uncommon.
We all laughed over papa's ghost during breakfast, and by and by old Mary made her appearance.
"Yes," she said, "it is quite true, as Nancy 'as told you. I have often heard all sorts of strange noises; but I b'lieve they all come from the lode of tin which runs under the house. Wherever there is a lode of tin, you are sure to hear strange noises."
"What, Mary! was it the knockers I heard last night?"
"Yes, 'twas the knockers, down working upon the tin, no doubt of it."
This was followed by a long explanation, and numerous stories of mines in Leland and St. Ives district, in which the knockers had often been heard.
After a little time, Mary, imagining I suppose that the young ladies might not sleep in a house beneath which the knockers were at work, again came with her usual low curtsey into the parlour.
"Beg pardon, sir," says she, "but none of the young ladies need be afraid. There are no spirits in the house; it is very nearly a new one, and no one has ever died in the house."
I have previously touched on the subject of the Knockers on my blog post Knockers, Tin Mines and Cornish Pasties.

"Okay," said this chap I met on a walk, "but Cornwall must be a cold, drab place once the summer sun has gone."
Well no! I'll answer the assumption with today's photos taken on a cold day, out of the holiday season - look at the views! The trees and scrub may be brown but the grass and sea are alive with colour. The light can be so good in Cornwall, it's why artists head this way.
The photos are from a walk starting at the small hamlet of Trenarren on Cornwall's south coast and simply walking along the coastal path, passing Black Head and looking out to sea.
One of the great things about Cornwall is this coastal path stretching around all of the county and beyond. There are no restrictions (unless it is dangerous) it's all a public right of way.
Sure, some of the path can be rough and uneven but at other times there may be wonky steps to make climbing the cliffs easier.
There are ups and downs, of course - such is life - but that makes it all the more interesting.
Looking inland on this particular stretch of path there are farmer's fields, mostly fenced off but at times there are public rights of way across these fields.
Even the cattle appreciate how lucky we are living in Cornwall.
On a cold, clear day what can be better than walking along the coast and breathing in all of that fresh air. Perfect!
P.S. To quote the Geography of Climate:
"Cornwall has a temperate Oceanic climate, with mild winters and cool summers. Cornwall has the mildest and sunniest climate in the United Kingdom, as a result of its oceanic setting and the influence of the Gulf Stream. Winters are amongst the warmest in the country, due to the moderating effects of the warm ocean currents, and frost and snow are very rare at the coast and are also rare in the central upland areas. Cornwall is one of the sunniest areas in the UK, with over 1541 hours of sunshine per year, with the highest average of 7.6 hours of sunshine per day in July."

I felt my cheeks redden the more Tom talked.
Illustrator this, Illustrator that. Make it stop. Make it stop. Make it stop.
He showed me some of his own designs and a few projects he’d been working on, both for his internship and for his portfolio school classes. I sat and stared, mouth open, fist rammed into my cheek.
Wow, I realized, I SUCK.
I know that’s not the initial reaction Tom wanted, but it’s the one I experienced. He showed me more, had me scroll around to build up my own ideas, taught me the basics of the infamous pen tool in Adobe Illustrator and then left the room.
In the meantime, I messed around on Illustrator and couldn’t figure it out. So, much to my chagrin, I tweeted this:
I’ve been thrown into design projects since my junior year of high school when my then-English teacher requested I take over the position of yearbook editor for my senior year. Because I’m a masochist, I accepted without thinking (then proceeded to stay up late all summer, worrying about the 144 pages I had to fill). I knew nothing about design. Absolutely nothing. But, because I’m Emily, I worked at it, spending hours in my school’s computer lab, ultimately recruiting my mother to sit by me at home and proofread as I wrote names upon names upon names before submitting a page a minute before its due date. Phew. Deep breath.
I haven’t changed much in terms of procrastination –– I just submitted a newsletter that is due to debut today, as in Wednesday, March 12 today –– but shit, have I learned a lot in my three years here. Currently, some students in the Integrated Marketing Communications program here at Bona’s are working on their final book to give to the judges during their respective presentations. I’ve heard complaints (“How am I supposed to create this book when nobody taught me InDesign?”) and feel my colleagues’ pain. But still, I appeared at Bona’s curly haired and freckle faced in September of 2011, sat at one of the school’s iMacs and began learning the ins and outs of InDesign. With some help along the way –– though none from my oldest brother whom I’ve heard is actually quite the design guru –– I’ve come so, so far, though I still have a ways to go. Tom and the hotness of my cheeks that day reminded me of that.
So yeah, it sucks that St. Bonaventure doesn’t have a proper graphic design/desktop publishing program or even a class on it, for that matter. But nearly every computer is equipped with the software, leaving students absolutely no excuse for their failure to dabble around. Like I’ve written in nearly every cover letter I’ve submitted, “I’ve learned that versatility is the key to becoming an effective communicator.” I’m going to learn Illustrator. Just watch me.
…after I sleep and get a few other projects done. Oh, and after my neck stops hurting. I’ve been staring at these Apple computers far too often as of late. | <urn:uuid:7e33eb64-9105-48e7-be0d-0ab1a5b90650> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://millennialblogproject.com/2014/03/12/a-brief-meltdown-at-3-a-m/ | 2022-01-22T02:48:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122012907-20220122042907-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.969044 | 704 |

Troubleshooting client VPN tunnel connectivity
Purpose of this troubleshooting page
This page is specifically about attempting to find and resolve problems with an OpenVPN client program failing to connect to an OpenVPN Access Server. It does not deal with problems in reaching a target system over the established VPN tunnel once the VPN tunnel is already working. That is handled in a separate page: troubleshooting reaching systems over the VPN tunnel.
So if for example you start the OpenVPN client connection and it issues an error and disconnects you, then the information here should help you in determining a possible cause and solution. If not, reach out to us on the support ticket system and provide as much detail as you can.
Locating the server log files
To diagnose problems with an OpenVPN server or client, it is helpful to look at the log files. The log files are located in specific areas on your computer systems, and the following is a general guide on how to find them and how to get the best information out of them. Log files are the place to check whenever you're having any problems making a connection with an OpenVPN client program to the OpenVPN Access Server, they the information needed to ascertain what's going wrong.
On the OpenVPN Access Server there is the server side log:
/var/log/openvpnas.log /var/log/openvpnas.node.log (in case of a failover setup)
In the event that you are having problems with starting the Access Server or certain portions of it, for example the web services, then it may be useful to stop the Access Server service, move the log file aside, then start the Access Server service, and stop it again immediately. This creates a new clean log file that contains the startup and shutdown sequence of the Access Server and no other extraneous information. This makes analysis of the log file much easier. To do so use these commands in order:
service openvpnas stop mv /var/log/openvpnas.log /var/log/openvpnas.log.old service openvpnas start service openvpnas stop
You can then grab the /var/log/openvpnas.log file for analysis and start the Access Server again:
service openvpnas start
Locating the client log files
Log file location for the OpenVPN Connect Client for Windows:
C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN Technologies\OpenVPN Client\etc\log\openvpn_(unique_name).log
The OpenVPN Connect Client for Mac:
Macintosh may not show you this folder in finder as it only shows you certain things and hides others. So to get to the /Library folder, open Finder and in the menu at the top choose Go followed by Go to folder and then enter the path /Library to get into that directory. You can then go to the correct folder and look up the log file. Please also note that the OpenVPN Connect Client for Macintosh will have permissions set on the log file so that you cannot normally open it. To bypass this, right click the log file and choose the Get info option in the menu. Then at the bottom, under Sharing & Permissions, you will be able to use the yellow padlock icon to unlock the settings and to give everyone read access. Then you will be able to open the log file with a right click and selecting Open with and then choosing something like Text editor to view the contents of the log file.
Known error messages and possible solutions
TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)
This particular error can have multiple different causes as it is a fairly generic error message.
A possible explanation is that the client program is old and supports only TLS 1.0, but the server is expecting TLS level 1.1 or higher. To see if this is the case log on to the server and check the server side log file. The chances are high that your client program is an older version, like version 2.2 or older, and that it doesn't know how to handle a modern TLS minimum level requirement, when you see messages that look like this on the server side:
OpenSSL: error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol' TLS_ERROR: BIO read tls_read_plaintext error' TLS Error: TLS object -> incoming plaintext read error' TLS Error: TLS handshake failed' SIGUSR1[soft,tls-error] received, client-instance restarting'
The solution to this particular problem is to upgrade the client software to the latest version.
Another possible explanation is that the settings regarding TLS minimum requirement level have been altered but the OpenVPN client is using an older copy of the connection profile which has incorrect instructions. The settings on the client and the server must match for the connection to be successful. In this situation installing a new copy of the configuration profile will solve the issue. A complete uninstall, redownload, and reinstall of the OpenVPN Connect Client should take care of that for you.
And yet another possible explanation is that there is a blockade in place in a firewall or at the Internet service provider that is blocking or interfering with the TLS handshake in some way.
TLS Error: local/remote TLS keys are out of sync
For some reason the negotiated TLS key to be used on the client side for TLS encryption/decryption is different from the one used on the server side. That should never happen. When the client and server are talking to one another they agree upon a TLS key to be used for encrypting and decrypting traffic. By default in Access Server such a key is valid for 6 hours, and after those 6 hours, automatically the TLS refresh kicks in and they will agree upon a new key. There is a short overlap where both the old and new key are accepted, until the old key is expired and the new key must be used. If for some reason one side doesn't do this, you see this error message.
A possible cause is a bug in the OpenVPN protocol with the version used in OpenVPN Connect Client which was resolved, where the automatic TLS key refresh would fail because the client and server couldn't agree properly on the encryption cipher to use. So if you encounter this particular problem and you are using an OpenVPN3 based client like OpenVPN Connect Client 2.*, then consider updating to the latest version. You can do so for example per computer by downloading OpenVPN Connect Client for Windows or OpenVPN Connect Client for macOS from our website, and installing it. However a better solution would be to update your Access Server to the latest version so that you get the updated Connect Client embedded in there, and then downloading and installing the latest version of OpenVPN Connect Client from your Access Server. If you use other client software and it shows problems, try finding a newer version for it. Worst case scenario, you could also consider changing the TLS key refresh to something larger in the Advanced VPN page of the Admin UI, to avoid triggering the issue. This does of course lower security somewhat.
Server poll timeout
One of the very first steps that an OpenVPN client program will do when trying to connect to an OpenVPN Access Server is to simply send out a message requesting for a reply. So basically a "hello are you there?" message. The server is then supposed to respond and then a connection is started. However if you see a server poll timeout error message then the server could not be reached at the specified port. Why this is not possible is another question entirely, but the error message is very clear: there is simply no response at all on that address and port. So when you see this message it would be good to check if the port is actually open, if the port is correct, if the address you're trying to reach can actually be reached from the Internet, and isn't a private IP address only, and other such checks to confirm basic connectivity to the server. At this point you're not even looking at a problem that has anything to do with the OpenVPN protocol itself. This is a most basic "this server cannot be reached" message.
A common mistake that is made is that people set up the Access Server on a private IP address but neglect to set up a proper FQDN DNS name for it, and configure that FQDN DNS name in the Admin UI under Server Network Settings in the Host name or IP address field. It is that field value that connection profiles generated and provisioned to the OpenVPN clients will be using to start a connection to. So if this is set to an internal private IP address that the Access Server was installed on, then the connection profiles will try to connect to that private IP address, which is unlikely to be reachable from anywhere else but the internal network that the Access Server itself is on. The solution is to set up a proper DNS name and configure that and save settings. Then uninstall, redownload, and reinstall the connection profile or OpenVPN Connect Client program and to try again.
Another common mistake is to forget to open the 3 ports required for OpenVPN Access Server to be reachable properly. By default these are TCP 443, TCP 943, and UDP 1194.
SESSION_ID only allowed to be used by client IP address that created it
OpenVPN Access Server uses a session-based-token system for server-locked and user-locked profiles. Auto-login type profiles don't. What this means is that after a user authenticates successfully, they are given a session token to identify themselves with. Compare it to going to a party and you show up and pay your entry fees, and if you need to go out for a little bit, they give you a stamp on the back of your hand, or put a paper/plastic strip around your wrist, so that you can show up again later and be admitted access again. That's a very simplified explanation. With a session token, each token is unique and uniquely identifies you. This avoids having to store your credentials in memory or bothering the user to reauthenticate when you temporarily lose contact with the server and reconnect again, so it's safer and more convenient. The session token is locked to the IP address that the original authentication attempt was made from, this is a security feature. When you see this message it means the session token your client program offered to the server was generated originally from another IP address. This can happen for example if you switch Internet connection, like logging in at work, then moving your laptop home and it tries to reconnect automatically with the session token. This session token IP lock is a security feature that can be disabled to allow such automatic reconnects to occur without this error message.
Authentication Error: Session: your session has expired, please reauthenticate
The OpenVPN Access Server works with a session token based authentication system when you are using a server-locked or user-locked profile. When you authenticate successfully, you are given a session token instead. The session token identifies you now from that moment onward. By default the session token expires after 5 minutes of inactivity as in not being connected to the server, and it also expires after 24 hours by default. Furthermore, when the session token is generated on the server, it gets locked to the VPN client's connecting IP address. This session IP lock can be disabled, and the timeout for session inactivity and the timeout for total session duration mentioned can also be adjusted. If for example you are on your phone and you are connected through WiFi, and you walk out of range of WiFi, and it switches to another Internet connection like 3G/4G or something, then your VPN client will disconnect but attempt to reconnect automatically. Your IP will now be different and as such the session token is not valid anymore. You will see an error like in the previous section in the server side log file (SESSION_ID only allowed to be used by client IP address that created it). And if your connection has lasted 24 hours in total, then it will also disconnect you if you're on a session-based connection with server-locked or user-locked profile. The solution is to either use an auto-login type profile or to increase the session token duration.
unable to obtain session ID from vpn.yourserver.com, ports=443: (error description here)
This error message can be found in the capi.log file and also shown in the popup message in Windows or macOS when you use OpenVPN Connect Client for Windows or macOS. This error message indicates that a server-locked connection profile is being used, which is the default on OpenVPN Access Server when you download and install the OpenVPN Connect Client. A server-locked connection profile is designed to be user-agnostic, meaning it doesn't carry any user-identifiable information in it, and is a sort of universal profile. This allows any valid user accounts to start a connection with this OpenVPN Connect Client. The credentials are passed over a secure HTTPS channel to the XML-RPC services of the Access Server for verification, and if approved, the client will receive a copy of the user-locked profile for this user, and a session token. Those will be used to start the OpenVPN tunnel. After the tunnel is disconnected, the user-locked profile and session token are deleted. But for this to work, there must be a working HTTPS connection to the web services of the Access Server.
unable to obtain session ID from vpn.yourserver.com, ports=443:
Other SSL errors:[('SSLroutines','SSL23_READ','ssl handshake failure')]
This could indicate that the Connect Client was able to reach some service, but it does not appear to be the Access Server web services, or perhaps the traffic is mangled by some firewall or proxy solution. For example we have seen situations where OpenVPN Access Server was installed with default settings, and OpenVPN Connect Client was installed and working, and then the port was changed on the server side from TCP 443, to TCP 444 for example, and then a web server was setup on that same server system, with an HTTPS website running on it on port TCP 443. The OpenVPN Connect Client won't have received an update to the new port setting for the Access Server web services, and so it tries to talk to the old port, where now a web server runs. This causes an unexpected problem that can result in this type of error. If you encounter this problem you should investigate if the port that the client is trying to reach is actually reachable by this client, and to try to determine if there really is an Access Server web service running there. If you changed the ports on the server you need to reinstall this client so it updates the settings.
unable to obtain session ID from vpn.yourserver.com, ports=443:
ConnectionRefusedError: 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
This is a very clear indication that the address and port that the OpenVPN Connect Client is trying to reach, does not have an Access Server web service running there. For example if you install OpenVPN Connect Client on a client computer, and then you go to the Access Server and change the ports that it listens to, then the client will still be trying to connect to the old ports that were originally configured. This can also sometimes occur if the address of your server is simply misconfigured. The solution is making sure that in the Admin UI in the Network Settings page you have set the address that your server can be reached at correctly (it is best to do a DNS name instead of an IP) and that the ports are how you want them, and then after that's set up, to download and install the OpenVPN Connect Client on your client computers.
unable to obtain session ID from vpn.yourserver.com, ports=443:
This indicates that the Access Server web interface's XML-RPC interface is unreachable. The OpenVPN Connect Client uses this interface to obtain the necessary certificates and configuration to start the OpenVPN connection when you are using a server-locked profile. You will not be needing the XML-RPC interface when you use user-locked and auto-login profiles. The advantage of server-locked profiles is that they are universal - any valid user at the Access Server can log in and connect. The timeout error just means the connection timed out, usually a firewall or such is blocking the connection. The solution is to ensure that the web interface is reachable from this OpenVPN client, or instead use a user-locked or auto-login type profile.
unable to obtain session ID from vpn.yourserver.com, ports=443:
XML-RPC function GetSession with 1 arguments may not be called at the configured relay level
The OpenVPN Connect Client program for Windows and macOS by default uses server-locked profiles. These contain only the information necessary to talk to the XML-RPC web interface of the Access Server for the purpose of authenticating a user and obtaining the required certificates and connection information to start the OpenVPN tunnel. This is done so this client is universal. It will work for all valid users on the server and isn't locked to a specific user. This does require that the web interface is reachable and that under client settings in the Admin UI the XML-RPC function is set to at least limited functionality. Full functionality also works, but when you set this to disabled, then you will get this error. The solution is to either stop using server-locked profiles and switch to user-locked or auto-login profiles, or to enable at least limited functionality for XML-RPC calls. The default is limited functionality and that is sufficient for OpenVPN Connect Client and server-locked profiles.

If you see this error message while launching the OpenVPN Connect Client, and it fails to launch, you may be missing specific Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable DLL library files. This issue was resolved in OpenVPN Connect Client for Windows version 184.108.40.206 by adding specific required library files into the OpenVPN Connect Client program directories. You should ensure you use up-to-date software to resolve this issue. You can upgrade your Access Server to the latest version so that it offers updated OpenVPN Connect Client software, or you can separately download the OpenVPN Connect Client for Windows from our website, to upgrade your existing Connect Client version.
Serial number not found in DB
OpenVPN Access Server by default comes with an internal PKI structure, which means a self-signed root certificate with unique certificates generated for each OpenVPN client for that server. These are all unique and tied together. This is part of the strength of OpenVPN, the identity of a VPN client and a VPN server are verified in both directions when a connection is made. The client verifies the server, and the server verifies the client. So for each user account you add to the Access Server, a unique certificate is generated. The certificate is bound to the user account name, so you can't log in with the credentials for user bob with the certificates for user billy. Each certificate also has a serial number, a unique number identifying the certificate. If you see the error that the serial number is not found in the database, that means this certificate is not known to this server. Even if you revoke a certificate, it is still known to the server, and will not produce this particular error. So you may be using a certificate from a completely different Access Server by mistake, or maybe you started with a new setup of Access Server on your server and the certificates are wiped and new ones generated for the new setup, while you're still using old certificates from the previous installation. To resolve this problem, make sure to delete the wrong connection profile from your client computer and obtain a new one from your current Access Server installation and use that to connect.

You may receive this error message when the OpenVPN Connect 3.x service stops or does not resume when you sign back into the computer. The issue is likely caused by an antivirus program. Specifically, we’ve seen this with ESET Antivirus. You can reconnect by restarting the service manually, but the automatic connection may still encounter the issue. To test, turn off ESET. If that resolves the issue, then you may want to open a support ticket with ESET.

1 Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beseech you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. 2 Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. 3 Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace.
The first three chapters of Ephesians deal primarily with Christian doctrine where the last three chapters deal primarily with Christian duty. To say it another way Paul starts with our calling and concludes with our conduct. When it comes to our Christian life the Word of God always starts with our wealth in Christ and then our walk in Christ. So as we come to chapter 4 we are admonished to walk in, Unity (4:1-16), Purity (4:17-5:17), Harmony (5:18-6:9) and Victory. (6). Today we have a tendency to focus more on our wealth than our walk, partly because we want a simple, easy, care free Christianity. We want the comfort of a feel good not the conviction of guilt or the reminder that we have a responsibility to live right. We want all the wealth of the Lord’s blessing without the walk of the Lord’s burden. But authentic Christianity weaves together our wealth and walk, doctrine and duty, riches and responsibility, salvation and service, calling and conduct, conversion and a cross. So as we come to chapter four we need to pay attention to two important words, “therefore” and “beseech.” When we see a “therefore” in the Bible, we need to ask and understand what it is there for. This “therefore” ties together what Paul has been teaching with the truth that he is about to tell us. He is telling us that we need to base our walk upon our wealth. This therefore ties together what Paul had just proclaimed in Ephesians 1:3: “God has blessed us with all spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.“ with what we are to practice in Ephesians 4:1, that because of God’s great blessing we are to “Walk worthy of our calling.” Second we see the word “beseech” this is more than pushing and pleading, this is Paul in love urging us to live for God’s glory. Paul could have said, “in light of doctrine I demand that you do your duty.” But this is our response of grace, it a “I get to not I have to”, it’s a response to relationship not rules. First we need to see that this is a call to:
When we are saved we are called to be active for the Almighty, to excitedly.
Authentic Christianity acts according to the Almighty, its excitedly engaged in eternity. Yet so often we see the saved slip into a sedentary spiritual life, where instead of being active they are apathetic. Paul is pointing us to a life of power and purpose, he is challenging us to choose to live for the Lord to continue in our calling. When Christians talk of a “calling” they tend to minimize the message by focusing on a specific vocation, being called to preach, the mission field or a music ministry for example. And while these are specific callings, there is a higher, holier calling and that is to be a Christian, a child of the King. The calling to be a Child of the King is the highest honor and the greatest grace God could bestowed on us. II Timothy 1:9 Paul says, “God has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.” We need to remember that God does the calling, we are not the caller, we are the called. God calls us by convicting us of sin and convincing us of the sufficiency and supremacy of Christ. Today we want to believe that we can come to God in own time and on our terms, rather in His time and on His terms. Yet the truth tells us that He holds both the time and the terms in His hand because His Son was traded for our sin. To put our calling into its proper perspective we need to hear how Paul refers to this calling in other epistles. He calls it “The high calling” in Philippians 3:14, “The heavenly calling” in Hebrews 3:1) and “The holy calling” in II Timothy 1:9. There is no calling on earth more desirable or dignifying, more special or significant than being a son or daughter of the King. It means to be a joint heir with Jesus Christ, an ambassador of the Almighty. This is not just some nice position, it is a noble one, a position of prestige and honor, but do we see it as a position of privilege or as a pain, is it praise or a problem? When Paul calls us to walk worthy of our calling, he is saying that we have been called to the highest position and we should live a life fitting and suitable to such a position. As Christians we are to carry the name of Christ, not drag it in the dirt. We should represent His rule, and present His plan of peace in the way that we live life. What Jesus are you presenting to people? What plan of peace are you presenting, the world’s or the Words? Which child do they see, Christ’s or the carnal? So often we forget who we really are and whose we really are, so Paul gives us a passionate appeal to come back to our calling, to walk in our wealth and not the world. This means that we are to stop being passive start proactively pursuing His peace. There is a story about a man who fell into a pit and could not get out. A subjective person came along and said, “I feel for you, down there.” An objective person came along and said, “It’s logical that someone would fall down there.” A Pharisee said, “Only bad people fall into a pit.” A self-pitying person said, “You haven’t seen anything until you’ve seen my pit!” An optimist said, “Things could be worse.” A pessimist said, “Things will get worse.” Jesus seeing the man took him by the hand and lifted him out of the pit. What about us are we going to put our salvation to service and share the saving plan of peace, or just offer pity or worse yet live life in our own pit? Have you responded to the call to act, to stop being apathetic and start engaging in eternity? Who do you need to help out of the pit, what if you were to extend the hand of healing and offer God’s plan of peace to the people in your life? We have been extended the highest calling in this life, to live for the Lord, to extend His holy and helping hand to a hurting world. It’s time to stop sitting around taking God’s grace for granted and get on with our calling as Christians, to live out our lives for the Lord. | <urn:uuid:332d3e43-5583-4c9f-9276-67a33eba02a5> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://pastorgiles.com/2015/02/17/15-proactive-peace-part-1/ | 2022-01-22T03:20:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122012907-20220122042907-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.965446 | 1,546 |
Toronto, Ontario – July 30, 2018 – Power Ore (“Power Ore” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: PORE) is pleased to provide an update on its 100% owned silver and cobalt Mann Mine in the Gowganda – Cobalt district of Ontario.
A detailed presentation outlining work completed on the Mann Mine to date, including its geologic plans and sections, a 3D model, as well as future drill and exploration program on the asset are now available on PowerOre.com.
Upon acquisition of the Mann Mine, Power Ore received a significant amount of data, both digital and physical, which needed to be compiled, validated and input into our technical database in order to generate new plans, sections along with a 3-D model of Mann’s geology and infrastructure. This was a necessary step prior to developing an exploration and drill program for the Mann Mine. “The Mann Mine has an extensive history of production and exploration which gave us a tremendous amount of data which had been fragmented and disorganized. Since its acquisition, our team has spent considerable time and energy compiling this data so we understand what this asset is, what it can be and how we plan on developing it,” said Stephen Stewart Power Ore’s CEO.
Please click on the links below to view:
Data Compilation and New Interpretations on Mann Mine
Recent work by the previous owner included airborne and ground geophysical surveys and a 15 hole, 1,458 metres diamond drilling program undertaken in the fall and winter of 2011 and 2012, that was focused on confirming silver mineralization in the vicinity of Zones 3 and D and to test some of the targets outlined by the ground geophysics. The area of Shaft #5, returned some high grade intersections of silver and cobalt as shown in Table 1 below and in the figures in the 3D interpretation file and in Figure 2.
Power Ore has completed the compilation of available data which includes all the work in 2011 and 2012 and the drilling from the period in the mid 1980’s when the ramp on Zone D (Shaft #5) was excavated to access a known high grade silver zone. However very little of work prior to the 1980’s and, in particular the abundant drilling carried out in the 1960’s is currently available to Power Ore. As a result our current targetting is focused on more recent results. On hand assessment reports dating from the 1960’s indicate that there may be some additional older reports and maps archived at the offices of the MNDM in Kirkland Lake. A review is underway to determine what additional data, if any, has been archived and could be added to the existing dataset for future targeting.
The current compilation has highlighted the presence of some remaining high grade silver mineralization in Zone D on the 125 foot level (38.8m) at the current bottom of the ramp and some high values on Level 2 in the vicinity of Zones A and C, to the southeast of Shaft #3 and north of Shaft #5 (figure 1). The mineralization on Zone D strikes east-west and dips nearly vertically and appears to rake towards the west at about 45 degrees.
In addition to the high silver, the drilling completed in 2011/12 intersected high cobalt values in Zone D closely associated with the high silver interesections and also further south on the down plunge extensions of holes drilled on this zone. This could potentially represent a new style of mineralization that is dominated by cobalt instead of the usual close association with silver.
Figure 1: Principal mineralized zones on the Mann Mine property.
Exploration and Drilling Plans for Mann Mine
The current plan calls for a 7 hole, 1,800 metre program of diamond drilling all located very near existing underground infrastructure. In particular, Zone D is located at the end of the existing ramp and could easily and quickly be accessed for further underground exploration. Future drilling for silver and cobalt will target the extension of Zone D along the west 45 degree rake of the silver and cobalt mineralization and to the south of Zone D at depth to test for extensions of the cobalt zone. In addition drill holes are planned to test beneath the third level near Shaft #3 and towards the west of the recent intersections obtained on Zones A-C. The planned drill holes are shown as green traces in figure 2. Power Ore will provide public disclosure and guidance once its exploration strategy for the property is finalized for the property.

About the Mann Mine
The Mann silver-cobalt mine property is located in the Milner township, in Ontario. The property covers 867 hectares, and is located west of Cobalt, Ontario, within the renowned Temiskaming silver area. The property contains 9 historic shafts and a ramp driven to the 210-foot level. Historically, the Mann Mine produced 330,000 ounces of silver prior to 1987.
Modern drilling on the Mann mine has confirmed the existing of high grade mineralization which is consistent with its historical production. Results are as follows:
Table 1: Summary of Mineralized intersections on the Mann Mine Property
Historical work has confirmed that the silver mineralization at the Mann Mine property is typical of that found elsewhere in the Cobalt Mining district and occurs as native silver and arsenides and sulphides of silver, cobalt and copper in quartz calcite veins that are sub-vertical and either east-west or nearly north-south. The veins are typically quite narrow but may locally expand to several metres at the intersections of fault structure. This is apparently what happened on Zone D near Shaft #5.

Ativan is one of the most widely prescribed benzodiazepines in the market today even though it is highly addictive.
Ativan is one of the most widely prescribed benzodiazepines in the market today even though it is highly addictive.
Ativan is the trademark name for Lorazepam. Ativan is a-long-acting benzo prescribed to treat anxiety disorders, as well as certain forms of epilepsy and insomnia. Due to its highly addictive component, doctors rarely prescribe it for over four months. Ativan is one of the most potent benzos currently available in the US market today. Although doctors prescribe the drug for short-term treatment of anxiety, depression, and panic attacks, the long-term effectiveness of the drug is yet unknown. Ativan is also used to help alleviate and reduce severe withdrawal symptoms during alcohol detoxification.
Blocking the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and slowing down hyperactive mental processes are the primary functions of this drug. A Quick-dissolve tablet is the standard form of this medication, but the colorless, concentrated liquid is also now available in the US. Oral use is the most commonly prescribed intake method of Ativan. While the Intravenous (IV drip) procedure requires assistance by medical experts’; the potentiality for misusing this drug is relatively high with this intake method.
Although it takes anywhere between forty-five minutes to two hours to feel the desired effects of the drug, it generally takes about 20-100 hours in comparison for Ativan to leave the user’s body completely. This could even take longer for some individuals, depending on the duration and dose consumed.
This medication is employed primarily to treat anxiety. Lorazepam falls into a class of drugs known as benzodiazepines that act on the brain and nerves to generate a calming effect. The drug works by stimulating the effects of a certain natural chemical in the body named GABA.
If a person takes a high dose of Ativan and does not undergo any form of anxiety or depression, the euphoric sensation of the drug in this user can peak within 30-60 minutes of use. This high can last anywhere between 5-8 hours, and the individual will experience feelings of an amplified sedation effect.
Ativan is one of the most potent benzodiazepines that many users misuse due to its highly addictive features. This drug goes by many street names, such as benzos, goofballs, stupefy, and heavenly balls. All of which suggests the addictive nature of the drug. Ativan is different when compared to other addictive medications. Most addictive drugs come with a safe duration of usage, meaning those medications don’t cause physical dependence when only used as prescribed (a few days to weeks). However, Ativan can cause physical and psychological dependence even with short-term usage. Individuals with a history of SUDs and mental health disorders that are left untreated are at a higher risk of getting addicted to this potent drug. Ativan is considered to be one of the most misused drug classes in the US.
People with an addiction to Ativan may experience severe cravings that could easily turn to dependence, even after the drug has completely cured their anxiety disorder.
Side effects of Ativan misuse can lead to severe personal and professional issues:
Physical dependence is severe in Ativan users as they require more and more pills to achieve the desired effects. Drug tolerance is the medical term for this occurrence. Many people who misuse Ativan know that they have a severe addiction to the drug. Unfortunately, adverse withdrawal symptoms make it harder for them to quit. When compared to other addictive medications, the withdrawal symptoms caused by Ativan are much severe. Individuals who have misused Ativan in large doses for an extended period require a comprehensive treatment plan with medically-assisted detox, therapy, and rehab. Treatment centers can help individuals who misuse this potent drug, no matter how severe their addiction may be.
Lorazepam tablets and liquid start to work in about 20 to 30 minutes. They reach their optimal sedating effect after 1 to 1.5 hours and last approximately 6 to 8 hours. Lorazepam injection works much faster, yet it also lasts about 6 to 8 hours.
When taken as recommended under the supervision of a physician, Ativan may help In reducing many of the common symptoms of anxiety, including irrational fears, panic attacks, sleeplessness, agitation, and restlessness. In addition to treating anxiety, Ativan is also prescribed for seizures, spasms, alcohol withdrawal, or insomnia.
The legal prescription of Ativan makes it difficult for the user to realize that they are misusing the drug. An individual can misuse Ativan in many ways, which may include:
Ativan balances the chemicals in the brain that generally cause anxiety. In larger doses, this drug binds itself to the brain’s special receptors and produces an intense high with a feeling of prolonged calmness. The common effects of Ativan in users include:
The effects of Ativan get stronger when combined with other substances, such as alcohol and other addictive medications/drugs. The intense high achieved by this potent drug can cause users to misuse Ativan accidentally or intentionally. No matter the reason, adverse side effects are a guaranteed outcome of this questionable habit. The overdose of Ativan is most common when other substances such as alcohol, drugs, or other prescription drugs are also involved.
Signs of an Ativan Overdose:
Side effects can be even fatal in cases of severe overdosing when the drug was used along with other addictive substances/medications.
Some of the common side effects of Ativan use are: drowsiness, dizziness, tiredness, muscle weakness, headache, blurred vision, insomnia, and loss of balance or coordination.
Yes, Ativan can cause drowsiness. But, taking Ativan and Ambien together can make you feel even more tired or drowsy, as both of them are used to help promote sleep.
When consumed orally, Ativan is absorbed gradually and is perceived to have an intermediate onset of action (between 15 and 30 minutes for most people) as compared to other benzodiazepines. In most individuals, an oral dose of Ativan will reach its optimum effects within two hours.
Ativan must only be used under the supervision of a medical expert or a doctor, and patients must follow strict instructions as prescribed. Highly-addictive features of the drug make it dangerous for some individuals; hence, why doctors prescribe this medication only for short-term use. Physical and psychological dependence is pretty common when Ativan is used for longer than prescribed.
Most adverse side effects of Ativan occur when the user mixes the drug with other substances or takes the drug in high doses. Side effects may worsen when the drug is consumed with other central nervous system depressants.
Adverse side effects of this drug include:
The prolonged use of Ativan can lead to changes in brain function. Many studies have proven that long-term benzodiazepine use causes cognitive impairment. The cognitive dysfunction caused by Avitan may heal with time in some patients, but a few patients may never achieve a full recovery.
Individuals often misuse Ativan along with other addictive drugs to enhance the sedative effects. Combining Ativan with other drugs may counteract or enhance its effects.
Common drug combinations with Ativan include:
This substance also acts very similarly to cocaine. Therefore, the user may take Ativan to come down from the intense high caused by Amphetamines.
Many patients combine Ativan with Methadone to enhance the pain-relieving effects of Methadone. The combination of these two potent drugs can end with fatal conditions, such as total respiratory failure. Both medications are potent central nervous system depressants.
The combination of alcohol and Ativan can cause a sudden, intense high. This combination is extremely powerful; increased CNS depression can even cause coma, over-sedation, respiratory failure, and death.
Combining Ativan with other CNS depressants is fatal as overdose, and side effects can be intense to the point where the excess sedation caused by the combined effects of two drugs can even lead to coma, unconsciousness, or death.
Unfortunately, some individuals can become dependent on Ativan, even if they adhere to their doctor’s recommendations. An individual who is physically dependent on the drug develop a tolerance to it and require the drug to perform normally in day-to-day life. As a consequence, they experience emotional and physical discomfort if they stop consumption suddenly without any medical support. This physical and emotional discomfort are all symptoms of withdrawal.
“Individuals intoxicated with Ativan are much similar to AUD patients intoxicated with alcohol. Ataxia, slurred speech, and impaired physical coordination are the prominent symptoms seen in those individuals.”
Signs of Ativan misuse include:
Like with most prescription medications, recognizing an addiction to Ativan is difficult. Some individuals misuse the drug illegally, while others do it through prescriptions. By the time the person’s questionable habit is revealed, it may already be too late. Ativan may have already caused many impairments by then.
The physical dependence on Ativan can happen within a few days/weeks. This dependence can occur even if the patient uses the drug according to the prescription. Anxiety and nausea are clear signs of physical dependence on Ativan. Physical dependence also may lead to drug tolerance. Resulting in the requirement of higher and higher dosage to achieve the desired effect.
A developed craving for the drug is the first sign of psychological dependence. Cravings can occur while the patient is using the drug or after stopping the drug. Consumption of the drug despite the negative effects of the drug is a clear sign of addiction.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) helps experts diagnose SUDs and other forms of addictions. DSM outlines eleven criteria to help characterize addiction. The number of criteria that the individual meets determines the severity of the addiction (mild, moderate, or severe).
Dosage isn‘t the only factor to consider. The length of use is the primary factor that usually leads to physical tolerance. Even a minor dosage can lead to an addiction if the patient continues the drug for a long time.
Warning signs and symptoms are a great way to recognize addiction.
Using Ativan for 4-6 weeks increases the risk of developing tolerance and addiction. Discuss your treatment and medication with your doctor before you start your prescription. If you have already experienced withdrawal symptoms and tolerance, meeting a treatment specialist ASAP is highly advisable. Early treatments can minimize physical and mental health disorders caused by Ativan.
Early withdrawal symptoms can start within 6-12 hours since the last dose.
The duration highly varies from person to person. Withdrawal symptoms can last for 5-15 days. Some individuals may experience minor withdrawal symptoms even after this general period.
Staging an intervention can be the first step in the journey to recovery. The majority of individuals who misuse Ativan are quite aware of their dependence on the drug but are unable to admit the problem. During such instances, you may require an intervention specialist.
Correctly planning and timing an intervention, rehearsing what you wish to say, and including other family members or friends of the patient may result in a more favorable outcome.
Individuals who are addicted to Ativan will experience withdrawal symptoms when they stop the consumption of the drug or rapidly decrease their dosage. Even users who follow a prescription and only take the recommended dosage may experience withdrawal symptoms. Cases have been reported of users forming a physical dependence on Ativan in as little as a week.
Withdrawal symptoms appear only when one’s body becomes reliant on Ativan to function as usual. An individual’s brain, nervous system, and organs must all go through a period of restoration as they start to relearn to function properly without the drug. During this period, one may go through varying levels of physical and psychological discomfort in the form of withdrawal symptoms. The effect and duration of these symptoms will depend on the amount of drug consumed and the length at which it was taken, along with a few other factors such as medical history and the presence of co-occurring mental health disorders.
Doctors recommend gradually reducing the consumption of Ativan rather than abruptly quitting the drug, as this can lead to dangerous and severe withdrawal symptoms. Benzodiazepine withdrawal can be categorized into two stages, such as acute withdrawal and protracted withdrawal. Acute withdrawal, which is generally referred to as “withdrawal,” includes both physical and psychological symptoms.
Below mentioned are some common acute withdrawal symptoms:
Medically-supervised detox is strongly advised for users in order to prevent dangerous withdrawal symptoms and to help reduce the risk of negative and rare side effects such as hallucinations.
Protracted withdrawal, also referred to as post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS), typically takes on the appearance of psychological withdrawal symptoms once the acute withdrawal stage is over. However, not all users experience protracted withdrawal.
Below mentioned are some common Ativan PAWS symptoms:
Rebound symptoms are generally common during Ativan withdrawal. These symptoms are the temporary, amplified return of symptoms, like anxiety or insomnia, that pushed the individual to consume Ativan in the first place. Rebound anxiety and rebound insomnia generally occur 2-3 days after the acute withdrawal phase of detox are over. Most users relapse during this period as they find it challenging to handle these symptoms. Reports state that approximately 10-35% of users who detox from Ativan will experience rebound effects. Gradually reducing Ativan may help to manage rebound symptoms until alternative treatment is recommended.
The duration of Ativan withdrawal varies from user to user. Generally, those who consume higher doses of Ativan use the drug more frequently and use it for extended periods, resulting in prolonged and more severe withdrawal.
Ativan generally stays in a person‘s system for an average of 12 hours. Acute withdrawal from Ativan consumption usually begins within 10 to 24 hours after the last dosage. This time frame may vary from addict to addict.
Severe withdrawal symptoms usually last 10 to 14 days and gradually reduces over the following couple of weeks. In more severe cases, withdrawal symptoms may even last for several months. There is no fixed period for Ativan protracted withdrawal due to its lack of research. Some individuals have stated that they have experienced symptoms for a few months, while others have had symptoms for up to two years. The psychological impact of protracted withdrawal can make recovering addicts, at times, feel as if their current life is no longer elated as it was when they used to consume the drug. It is vital to address protracted withdrawal symptoms in recovery to prevent any potential relapse.
There is currently no medication that is specifically approved for Ativan withdrawal treatment, but that doesn‘t mean there are no treatment options available.
There are a lot more treatment options available to help lessen the symptoms of withdrawal during medical detox, especially during the Ativan withdrawal peak. A medical team will be present at all times to monitor the entire detox process as well as provide necessary medical interventions to avoid life-threatening situations. During this phase of detox, patients are provided with treatment for co-occurring disorders. In some cases, natural herbal remedies or supplements are used to assist the process of withdrawal from Ativan.
Individuals struggling with Ativan addiction must be aware that these treatments or remedies cannot be merely carried out at home by themselves. These treatments must be administered in the proper setting with the right medical supervision.
Even when it comes to gradually reducing Ativan consumption, users are advised to carry out the process under the supervision of medical professionals. Only a physician or medical specialist can determine the right amount of Ativan to start the process with and then how to gradually move on to a reduced dosage throughout the detox process. Individuals addicted to Ativan and other benzodiazepines usually gain many advantages from medically-assisted detox. The detox process is made more smooth and comfortable by reducing the Ativan withdrawal symptoms with the help of medication. A medical professional may also prescribe a less potent benzodiazepine with an extended half-life to help the user wean off Ativan gradually. This process of gradually reducing dosage may take anywhere from several weeks to several months.
Overcoming addiction to this potent drug can be tricky and difficult. Individuals find it harder to overcome their addiction as intense withdrawal symptoms and dependence keep them attached to the drug. A long-term comprehensive treatment option that involves medical detox, support system, and treatment program can help patients battle their addiction successfully. Any patient who wishes to quit Ativan should meet a medical expert first and determine their condition in detail. The treatment expert can perform a substance misuse evaluation and choose the right treatment method accordingly.
Medically-assisted detox helps patients quit Ativan with minimal withdrawal symptoms and discomfort. Medical detox by a treatment specialist can make the process more successful and less painful for the patient. Detox is the initial step of treatment in most cases. Outpatient treatment centers in the US also offer medical detox.
There may be an underlying reason as to why patients misuse Ativan. Inpatient and outpatient treatment experts address those emotional reasons as well. Support groups and ongoing therapy are available for patients who struggle to maintain their Ativan-free life. The chance for a full recovery through treatment options is immensely high, while a comprehensive support system remains priceless during the early stages of severe withdrawal symptoms and long-term recovery.
Finding a medical team or a treatment center that can treat Ativan addiction is crucial. The treatment team must be comprised of staff experienced in this form of addiction. Many treatment centers across the US offer comprehensive treatment options for Ativan addiction.
Factors to consider when choosing the right treatment center:
A full-service treatment center can help you with polydrug use and other mental and physical health disorders. This is vital for those suffering from co-occurring disorders.
This is the best choice for patients with a severe addiction to Ativan. Flushing the body through detox may not be enough for these individuals. They require long-term support and a controlled environment to maintain sobriety without relapse. A controlled environment can help increase the chance of a full recovery to a greater extent. Inpatient treatment centers can also keep patients away from impulses by keeping them within the controlled environment. As a result, help patients focus on their full recovery without any added distractions.
Inpatient treatments generally last from 28 days to 90 days. The duration of the therapy dramatically varies depending on the patient and their condition. The progress of treatment also may increase or decrease the duration of treatment.
Starting the treatment process with a medical detox allows the patient to taper down the dose without experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms. This process begins with patients taking smaller doses of Ativan over a few weeks. Some treatment centers give long-acting benzodiazepine to alleviate withdrawal symptoms. Valium is a top choice for such long-acting benzodiazepines.
Attending therapy, support groups, and meetings are the other elements of inpatient treatment. The patients also take part in recreational activities to improve healing. Some inpatient treatment centers adhere to a very structured daily schedule, and other centers may offer customized treatments for individual patients.
Physical and psychological aspects of the addiction and withdrawal require simultaneous treatments. Helping the patient overcome physical dependence is the primary aim of medical detox. Apart from assisting patients to overcome physical dependence, treatment centers must focus on psychological dependence as well.
Therapies offered in both treatment center classes include:
No matter the treatment type, inpatient or outpatient, there’s no such thing called one treatment for all. The right or effective treatment for Ativan addiction varies from person to person and their individual needs.
Outpatient treatment centers are a handy choice for patients with mild to moderate addictions to Ativan. For those unable to spend time in inpatient treatment centers, outpatient treatment provides an alternative solution.
The outpatient center provides the patient with the opportunity to receive his/her day’s treatment and return home. Many types of outpatient treatment options are currently available in the US: such as IOP, PHP, and OP. PHP treatment can last from 3-8 hours a day. IOP treatment lasts for a maximum of three hours a day. OP treatment plan lasts for 1-2 hours per week. It is vital to discuss your options with a medical expert before making a choice.
There are many similarities between inpatient and outpatient detox. Medical detox is one such treatment found in both types of centers. However, ongoing or long-term treatment has a proven track record of helping patients maintain their Ativan-free life in the long run. Support groups and therapy play a vital part in recovery as they help patients spend time with like-minded people who provide support through experience and help each other maintain an Ativan-free life.
There are many successful and proven support groups currently found in the US. Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous are two such support groups. Alternatives are also available for 12-step programs. For example, SMART Recovery helps patients cope with co-occurring disorders.
Support groups are a vital part of long-term recovery. They can be comprised of family, friends, and even medical experts who are committed to helping you through addiction.
Recognize and understand your impulses and triggers. Avoid habits and situations that led you to this addiction. Keep away from toxic individuals and addictive substances such as alcohol.
These individuals may be your friends, family, or even co-workers. Make your recovery your priority and avoid association with individuals you misused drugs with in the past.
Counsellors and therapists can help you manage cravings, address underlying emotional and mental issues, and stress. It is vital to acknowledge and address any psychological and physical disorders that led you to Ativan addiction.
Performing your daily tasks according to schedule keeps your mind occupied throughout the day and help you avoid emotional triggers.
A healthy body leads to a healthy mind. Sleep well, eat healthy, exercise, and try meditation or Yoga.

A mystical fable about finding a way back home . . .
On the morning of Windland Cloudís sixteenth birthday, she awoke from a frightening dream that left her feeling shaken and in desperate need of human company, but the house was empty. Her parents were nowhere to be found and they left no note. This adds to her sense of unease and the need to escape the residue from the dream and thoughts of her familyís dysfunctional life teetering on the edge of poverty, which is nearly unbearable. Windland grabs her hiking boots, laces up, and heads to a nearby state park to try and clear her mind. On the way there her fantastical journey beginsÖ
Falling off a mountain into the year 1896, dealing with a woman who wants her dead, and avoiding an overly suspicious sheriff are the downside of the adventure Fate throws her into. The upside seems to be rescuing a reclusive woman, who may hold the secret to how Windland can get home, and a blue-eyed Irishman who holds not only Windlandís heart but her future in his hands. Will she be able to return to her own time? And what will happen when she does?
Windlandís Rescue is a coming of age tale with a cast of characters that span time and galaxies; energy grids and traveling portals; wicked women and secret rooms Ė and the ultimate need to find your way back home.
|L. Audel Cayce lives in the Texas hill country but calls Colorado her second home. Her own quest has led her to discover the magic of the land, much of it hidden but awaiting interaction. A seasoned editor and technical writer, Windlandís Rescue is her first published novel. You can find her online at www.audelcayce.com.|

LOWELL — Frank Elliott, the late father of Rodney Elliott, taught his son to never give up, stay the course and pursue his goals.
On Monday morning, the younger Elliott was rewarded for taking to heart the advice from the man he called his inspiration and best friend.
After serving for 16 years on the City Council, Elliott finally secured the support of his colleagues to ascend to the position he has long sought, mayor of Lowell.
The new City Council voted unanimously for Elliott, who heartily embraced his colleagues following the vote and then was led up toward the rostrum by his daughters, 28-year-old Katelyn, and 16-year-old Mikayla, to be sworn in.
“All good things come to those who wait,” Elliott said.
Former Mayor Edward “Bud” Caulfield, who stepped in to sing “God Bless America” at the conclusion of the swearing-in ceremony, said he also expects big things from the council led by Elliott.
I know that this is supposed to be a happy day…turning the page…new beginnings…yada yada. But if I don’t say something, nobody will. Bud Caulfield sucks at singing. Like terrible. Someone along the way told him he had great pitch and the guy hasn’t shut up since. I bet he overpowers everyone in church too.

Meet Mariana Santos
Profiles of Knight International Journalism Fellows
Over the next two weeks, we will be profiling the projects of several Knight International Journalism Fellows.
Mariana Santos is a motion designer and visual storyteller at The Guardian, and beginning in April 2013, she will running outreach and events designed to connect more illustrators and artists with journalists and newsrooms in Latin America to create more compelling audiovisual storytelling for online journalism. She will also be leading an effort to involve women in technology work in newsrooms and civic media projects in Latin America. (You can read her advice to data visualization teams over at Computer Arts.) We spoke with her about her plans for the next year.
Charting the Fellowship
Q. How did you decide on the project(s) you’re working on during the fellowship? What needs are your projects meeting?
Latin America newsrooms in general are advancing enormously in the field of investigative journalism, and setting up huge databases with valuable information that the readers/users could profit immensely. The part that I think could do with a bit of improvement and empowering is the storytelling side: how to package the content into a compelling, immersive, engaging, and easy-to-use narrative. This is why I decided to pick digital visual storytelling — be it animated narratives or interactive features — where we can have powerful data visualizations within a human context. Another question that I picked to work on, and that think deserves special attention is “How can we bring more women into technology in news?” I think women are an essential asset in the tech environment in newsrooms and we have an extreme lack of them. I’d like to try to change that!
Plans for the Fellowship
Q. Could you give us a behind-the-scenes tour of the projects you’re working on?
I’ll coordinate, when possible, with the other fellows in the organization of big events such as media parties. When I’m acting alone in Costa Rica for example, I’ll be teaming up with La Nación trying to bring together the great examples of digital journalistic practices from across Costa Rica and neighboring countries, bringing in experts and motivators to create a spirit of innovation, and inviting teams to try new tools and approaches in news storytelling.
I’m also planning hands-on bootcamps with girls and women in tech environments to build products and projects for newsrooms — we will bring in successful women in tech to share their experiences, and to engage and motivate other women in the same environments. In each of these bootcamps, we will work on real problems and needs to be solved and create a hacker-friendly environments where women can solve problems and be actively part of digital development and process.
Finally, I’ll be focusing a lot in the design side of storytelling and user engagement, for that reason I would love Latin countries to take advantage of the visual heritage they have already pre-established, but are not yet taking full advantage of. To accomplish this, I want to create a network of visual thinkers, designers, and illustrators and bring them inside newsrooms to try to reinvent the state of infographics and illustration to include more mobile and moving animations.
Q. What challenges are you facing?
I’ll face the lack of women in tech environments, where there is a pre-established male environment, so the question is how to break in and establish the idea that woman are needed and great assets to this kind of work. I’ll also face the challenge of different speeds of work across projects, the short amount of time to do so many projects.
As it’s my first time in these countries, I’ll don’t have a preexisting personal network — so I have to believe in the power of engagement, build trust, and meet the right people willing to commit to innovation while I’m there.
I believe I’ll also face lots of bureaucracy, but that’s something I am pretty used to and am willing to fight back.
Q. What will success look like for this work?
When I leave this space, if there are women working in technology and engaging others to do the same, and if there are networks of designers and illustrators working in newsrooms and creating stories after I’m gone, this will be a success for me!
I am so happy and honored to be part of this amazing cast of innovators, hands-on workers, and motivators, and I will do my best to keep up with their work! | <urn:uuid:8a2a35af-91c6-4107-a499-da1a113698b7> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://source.opennews.org/articles/meet-mariana-santos/ | 2022-01-22T03:12:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122012907-20220122042907-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.944037 | 955 |

The 2019 65″ Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV is the 4th Samsung TV I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing. Previously, I’ve reviewed the 2017 Samsung Q8C, the 2018 Samsung Q8F, and the 2018 Samsung Q7CN. What I’ve seen with all of these is that there’s only so much you can do to redesign a TV on the exterior.
That being said, the 2019 65″ Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV isn’t far off in terms of outward aesthetics from its predecessors. It still has very thin bezels around the entire front of the TV, giving the picture the appearance of floating in midair.
The build quality is still amazing, though I will say that I still prefer the more brushed aluminium look of the older Samsung Q8C instead of the plastics they use now. That being said, the plastic is premium and it looks good, but that Q8C aesthetic really appealed to me more.
The lines of the Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV are still as sexy as ever, it just exudes quality all over. Samsung paid particular attention to the stand this year and it is amazing. I will say that the stand is stinking heavy, nearly as heavy as the entire rest of the TV. But, it’s very stable and gives a firm foundation for the TV to sit on. It also leaves plenty of space for a soundbar, like the Samsung Q90R flagship soundbar which we will review very soon.
This is Samsung’s flagship 4K line of TVs, so the build quality and materials are all going to be top notch. There is a VESA mount on the back and it supports Samsung’s gapless wall mounting system. We used the stand during our testing which worked out really well.
The Samsung Q90R 4K TV only has one port on the back of the TV and that is for the One Connect box. The One Connect cable provides power and signals to the TV and it keeps the back of the TV clear of annoying cables. I really love the One Connect system as you can tuck the box away and run your peripheral cables to it instead of the TV. This significantly cuts down on cables at the back of your TV. Of course, you’ll still have those cables but just not hanging off the back of the TV.
Samsung does include physical controls under the Samsung logo along the bottom bezel. You can power the TV on and off or control channels and volume from here if you wish, or if you lose the remote. Other than that there are no other ports on this TV.
Overall, this is a typical Samsung design. The bezels are thin and the build/material quality is high. No, this isn’t as thin as some OLED TVs on the market but I’m not going to go into the QLED/OLED technology differences here. You can watch Samsung’s explanation below.
The Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV panel is, of course, an LCD panel with LED backlighting. This model has direct full array 16X local dimming, a Quantum 4K Processor, ultra-wide viewing angles, Quantum HDR 16X, 100% color volume, HDR10/HDR10+ support, and AI upscaling. The Q90R does not support Dolby Vision format, in case you’re needing that.
The display itself isn’t super thin, as many OLED TVs are, but that’s to be expected from an LCD panel. That doesn’t mean it’s not thin, it is. In addition, the bezels are super thin which gives you a more immersive experience.
The Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV display also comes with an anti-reflective filter which is amazing. We all get annoyed at the reflections some TVs can have, especially at wide viewing angles. The new filter system that Samsung uses here mitigates reflections really well, giving viewers at wider angles a better experience. You can actually stand almost directly to the side of this TV and still see the content clearly. It’s really a great improvement over the previous years of Samsung TVs.
Before we go any further, it is important to note that (as with all our TV reviews) we used the Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV as is out of the box. This means we did not professionally calibrate the panel, choosing to test it the way most users will use it. There is a small percentage of hard-core users who concern themselves with calibration and testing, but we believe that 90% of users or more generally use their TVs without calibration. Beyond toying with settings and presets, we did not use professional tools to calibrate.
The Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV also deals with motion blur very well using Pulse Width Modulation to dim the backlight. This allows for viewers to experience very little motion blur in the content they are viewing. The display also has a quick response time and offers up motion settings to find the setup you’re comfortable with.
Enough of all that, what about the picture quality? The Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV picture quality is outstanding! One of my favorite things is the peak brightness of this panel, which can go past 1,000 nits. I prefer the brightness to be pretty high, although Samsung does have adaptive brightness if you want the brightness to adjust to the light level in the room.
4K HDR content on this TV is amazing with the level of detail beyond stunning. I spun up Planet Earth 2 in 4K HDR for several of our guests who have already seen it in 1080p but this was their first time seeing it in 4K HDR on the Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV. They were blown away at the level of detail, contrast, and color.
The contrast is amazing on the Q90R and matches any OLED TV easily. I’m sure there will be some push back for that comment. Having used Samsung’s QLED TVs now for the past few years I have witnessed the improvement in contrast levels on these TVs and I’m super impressed with the contrast on the Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV.
This is especially true for the gaming experience on the Q90R. While QLED has improved the contrast, it also improves on dark areas that should be visible and not blacked out. For gamers, seeing around corners or in dark scenes is important. The Q90R’s contrast does a great job of keeping grey areas visible and not blacking them out. OLED TVs can sometimes be so heavy with contrast that areas you want to see are just not visible.
Colors on the Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV are vibrant and rich just as you would expect a Samsung panel to be. There are presets you can use such as movie, adaptive, and other modes to tweak the color, temperature, and brightness. I found that using standard mode worked just fine for our taste. Of course, there are several ways you can calibrate your TV using software and DVDs, but most people do not do this. Most will set the TV up and use presets or might tweak some visual settings here and there. But it’s very minimal.
We tested the display using an Xbox One X, 4K games, 4K UHD HDR movies, and Netflix 4K content. Amazon Prime 4K HDR content was absolutely amazing. I particularly liked watching Jack Ryan. 1080p content also looks great here. Though not as detailed as 4K content, it is still more than enjoyable. 720p content is still acceptable but, of course, as we get down to 480p content and older TV shows, the quality is reduced substantially.
Overall, I’m still a huge fan of these high-end Samsung QLED TVs and they’re just getting better each year. I’ve had more than a few handfuls of people over to my house to experience the Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV. Not one person was disappointed, and they all walked away more than impressed.
Setting up the Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV is super simple. You can watch our unboxing video for an overview of physical setup as well as TV setup. As I mentioned earlier, the stand is heavy, and I recommend having two sets of hands when getting this baby set up and in place. As with all of Samsung’s high-end TVs, the Q90R comes with the One Connect box.
The One Connect box connects to the TV via the One Connect fiber optic cable which carries all of the signals, as well as power to the TV. This means you only need to connect one cable to your TV. That leaves you to put the One Connect box somewhere out of the way and keeps your TV clean and clear of cable clutter.
Once you have your peripherals plugged into the One Connect box, the Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV will auto-detect what is plugged in. Whether it’s a cable box, Xbox, Apple TV, Chromecast, or Blu-Ray player, it will detect it and name it for you.
As for the interface setup, you can navigate through the UI setup with the included remote or use your smartphone. We set up the TV with a Samsung Galaxy S10+ which literally takes 5 minutes or less. Just follow the onscreen instructions and you’ll be ready to go. You may have to log in to some apps after you get them downloaded, but that’s easy to do.
Of course, you can opt not to use the smart features of the TV and simply just plug your devices in, using it as a regular TV. That’s even easier for those who want to use the UI on the Xbox One or Roku sticks. For those who want to use the Samsung Smart TV features these are the simple steps.
- Turn on your TV. Your smartphone and TV will connect automatically, taking you to the next step to set-up your new QLED TV.
- Your smartphone will share Wi-Fi network information with your TV.
- If your smartphone is linked to a Samsung account, it will automatically be shared with your TV. No separate login required.
- Choose the apps on your smartphone that you also want on your TV. They’ll be copied into your TV’s Smart Hub and you’ll automatically be logged in.
Overall, the setup is super simple. It is a two-person job to physically set up the TV but software setup is super simple.
Samsung’s QLED SmartTVs are running the company’s own Tizen OS and the Samsung Smart Hub. I really love this interface so much that it’s the only interface I use now for my apps. I used to use my Xbox One for accessing all of my apps, but the interface on the Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV is just perfect! These are just a few of the offerings. YouTube TV, Netflix, Plex, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Vudu, YouTube Kids, Amazon Prime Music, Google Play Movies, and Google Play Music. You can get so much more and it’s easy to navigate.
Samsung’s OneRemote is also really smart as it can control the Xbox One X, soundbar, Blu-Ray player and other select peripherals. This eliminates the need for multiple remotes and makes everything very simple and streamlined.
Of course, the Q90R features Bixby again, which can actually be pretty helpful. You can ask Bixby to show you movies with Adam Sandler and it will pull up results from all compatible installed apps. Netflix, however, is not one of them. So, there are some limitations, mainly because app makers have to opt to work with Bixby.
I also tried leaving the Bixby mic open so it could work with the hot word, “Hey Bixby” but that didn’t go over so well. Bixby seemed to get confused and would randomly open when watching movies and TV shows. I guess it thought it was being asked something. The sensitivity was very high and it interrupted our viewing multiple times throughout. The solution is to turn off the hot word and use the mic button only when you want to ask Bixby a question. I did make Samsung aware of the issue and they said they would be working on a fix.
Google Assistant and Alexa are both supposed to be supported on this TV but we are still waiting on that compatibility, which means we were not able to test either one of those services. But, it is our understanding that both Alexa and Assistant will not be fully featured. This means you won’t be able to use them as you would if you had a Google Home or Alexa device. Most of the search-ability will fall to Bixby, which is somewhat to do with Samsung trying keeping your private data out of the hands of Google and Amazon. In order to use their services to their full potential, Samsung would have to give them access to basically all of your watching habits and history.
One new feature on the Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV is the availability of Apple TV. This was huge for me as I used to live in the Apple ecosystem and have several movies that are locked into that ecosystem. I can now watch those movies on a Samsung TV that supports Apple TV, and you can too.
Of course, the Q90R supports SmartHub which connects all of your SmartThings products together in one app. Soundbars, TVs, robot vacs, lightbulbs, and any smart home items that are compatible can be controlled within the SmartThings app and even on your TV. It’s a pretty neat ecosystem if you’re invested into multiple Samsung devices.
Overall, the software experience on the Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV is simply amazing. The interface is clean and fluid and everything works great with short load times for content. The OneRemote is fantastic and even has shortcut buttons for Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Hulu. It’s the best software experience I’ve had on a TV.
I’ve had nothing but praise for the past three Samsung TV speakers I’ve reviewed, and that is no different here. I’m more than pleased with the sound coming from the Samsung Q90R QLED TV. These speakers are far superior to any Walmart or Target purchased TV.
That being said, they’re not immersive and broad but they are more so than basic TV speakers if that makes sense. I think these speakers are going to make most people happy though. I think people will enjoy them until they can afford to add a good soundbar to the setup, something like the Samsung Q90R Soundbar which we have for review and is also excellent (review coming soon).
Overall, the sound quality coming from the built-in speakers is excellent for TV speakers. At some point, if you want to take advantage of Dolby Atmos and need a more immersive experience, then I’d suggest a soundbar.
This being my fourth Samsung TV review, and their top of the line 4K set, I was expecting stellar performance. I was, again, not disappointed. The Tizen OS interface is snappy and responsive and super easy to navigate. You can connect to the TV via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. We opted to connect using the wired Ethernet option as this will give you the fastest speeds and performance from your ISP (and it didn’t hurt that the TV is basically right next to my router).
We did test the Wi-Fi capability, and performance on wireless was good. Watching 4K content through streaming apps was also just fine. This is, of course, going to depend on your internet connection. We have Gigabit speeds so we’re fortunate to mostly have pretty good service.
Gaming is also spectacular on this TV, especially 4K gaming. Xbox titles like Forza Horizon 4, The Divison 2, Assassin’s Creed Origins, and Star Wars Battlefront II look absolutely stunning on this TV. The Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV also supports FreeSync if you plan on connecting your gaming PC. We did not test that feature as I mostly do console gaming and very little, if any, PC gaming.
The Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV is Samsung’s flagship 4K model and available in 3 sizes, 65″, 75″, and 82″. Our 65″ review unit comes in at US$3,499.99. Yes, that is a lot of scratch. But, you can find it on Samsung’s website right now for US$2,799.99 which is a US$700 savings. That’s pretty awesome.
Even at the full MSRP, the Q90R is well worth the money. Before I started reviewing 4K TVs I used to think it wasn’t worth it. I was fine with my 1080p Walmart model that cost just under US$600. And that’s actually fine if you are too, buy what you like and be happy, that’s what matters. But I have to say, I made my judgments on these more expensive sets without ever having used them. Now that I am afforded the opportunity to actually use these high-end TVs, I now see the value they do hold for the users that can afford them.
The picture quality here is amazing, the contrast is excellent, the color is vibrant and punchy, the brightness is spot on, the viewing angles are amazing, the design is beautiful, the build quality is excellent, and the value is most certainly there, especially at its current discounted price.
Overall, this is a huge purchase for anyone. But not everyone is looking to spend this much on a TV. For those who think even US$2,799 is crazy for a TV, well, this isn’t for you. But for those who are willing to invest into their entertainment experience, the Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV holds an excellent amount of value.
The Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV is Samsung’s flagship line of 4K TVs. In a few words, the Samsung Q90R is fantastic. Of course, nothing is perfect, and you can always find something you might not like about things. But as far as QLED LCD TVs go, the Samsung Q90R takes the cake. I’d recommend this TV to anyone looking for a 4K HDR TV and I’d especially recommend this to gamers as they will get the best experience on a Samsung QLED.
*We received a review unit of the 65″ Samsung Q90R QLED 4K TV for the purposes of this review.

- May be too pricey for some
- I still think the remote needs to be aluminum instead of plastic
- The stand is super heavy
- Bixby is very sensitive and using the wake feature almost always triggers it. Samsung has told me they are aware of the issue and plan on a fix.
- QLED is still thicker than some of the competition, something some buyers dislike | <urn:uuid:1c49c9ee-e9cf-43ef-a981-ecb29d09f387> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://techaeris.com/2019/07/06/2019-65-samsung-q90r-qled-4k-tv-review-the-best-4k-qled-tv-to-date/ | 2022-01-22T02:57:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122012907-20220122042907-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.934104 | 5,446 |

Water at sea
On a ship or platform you’ll see billions of litres passing through every day. Sadly, seawater does not have the same quality as service water. Water at sea requires specific treatments. A first requirement is safe and reliable potable water for staff, contractors, and guests. Waste water must meet discharge rules and limits. Swimming water for recreational purposes, such as swimming water on cruise ships, must be bacteriologically sound. That is how you prevent a negative aftermath to your guests’ watery fun.
Potable, process, and waste water
Van Remmen UV Technology can boast its years of experience in the Maritime and Offshore industries. Our UV-systems have been the go-to method for disinfection of potable, process, and waste water on oil platforms and ships for example. Additionally, we meet industry specific requirements such as NIPH, DNV and Ex. That way you are assured of safe water at sea.
For swimming water disinfection we developed a very efficient system. This system improves the microbiological quality of swimming water, but also supports the breakdown and limitation of bound chlorine. That way your guests can enjoy safe swimming water, without irritating eyes, skin, or airways. In short: ultimate underwater fun for your guests. | <urn:uuid:4f35a09d-db2b-4e6c-9cde-3dc427650076> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://vanremmen.nl/en/toepassingsgebieden/maritime-offshore/ | 2022-01-22T02:15:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122012907-20220122042907-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.955589 | 268 |
It’s the greatest story ever told. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy to tell, even in 10 hours.
The hardest part of mounting “The Bible” miniseries that bows Sunday on History was determining which stories would be brought to life in the production steered by Mark Burnett and Roma Downey.
The husband-and-wife collaborators assembled a prestigious team of scholars and clergymen to help them select the material for the mini, emphasizing seminal and spiritually significant moments from the Old Testament and New Testament.
From there, the focus was on ensuring that the project delivered compelling drama with high production values. Although “The Bible” has built-in appeal to religious viewers, Nancy Dubuc, prexy of A+E Networks, has been determined to make sure the mini is seen as an entertainment event first and foremost.
“Our focus is on exposing this (miniseries) to the biggest, widest audience possible,” Dubuc says. “We know this is a subject that has universal appeal. And we know that when we take on a topic related to history our audience will come. Our job here is to make sure there is great sampling of the miniseries on a much broader, commercial basis.”
Burnett and Downey have been on the stump for “The Bible” for months, taking part in screenings at churches around the country and promoting it in Christian media circles. History, meanwhile, has taken to the bigscreen with trailers running in theaters for the mini, among other large-scale off-air placements.
On A+E Networks channels, which include A&E and Lifetime, promos for the epic have been hard to miss. “The Bible” will air on History in two-hour segs across five Sundays, culminating March 31, which is Easter Sunday. Lifetime will carry encores of the episodes on Mondays.
“When Mark and Roma speak about this project, their passion is so evident, it lends authenticity and meaning to the whole effort,” Dubuc says. “The marketing they’re doing punctuates the size and scope of what we’ve done.”
Burnett and Downey approached History with their pitch for the epic tale in 2011 because they had been impressed with how the cabler captured pivotal moments in the vast expanse of American history in the 2010 docuseries “America: The Story of Us.”
Dubuc admits that after growing up “as a Catholic school girl,” her mind raced when the pair first broached the subject of tackling the Bible as a narrative story. Among the stories featured in “The Bible” are tales of Noah, Abraham, Moses and John the Baptist as well as the birth, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.
“The very nature of doing that was overwhelming,” Dubuc says. It took a year for Burnett and Downey to work with their advisers and hone the story selections into 10 hours.
“Once we got more comfortable with how we would approach it, we knew what we had,” Dubuc says. “It is not an overly religious story, and you don’t need to be religious to understand the influence of this book.”
Indeed, among those who are not familiar with Scripture, Dubuc believes, “there’s a genuine curiosity about the stories and characters that have shaped so many things” — from national boundaries to laws to civic and social institutions. She credits Burnett and Downey for overseeing a “masterful” production that is feature-film quality. (In fact Burnett and Downey aim to assemble a shortened version for theatrical release in foreign markets as well as the U.S.)
Burnett hopes that the mini will “change peoples’ lives” by encouraging viewers to pay heed to the moral and spiritual messages behind the stories. “This can reach a whole generation of people who have never been to church,” he says.
History has a lot on the line with “The Bible” being the follow-up to the cabler’s first scripted mini, last year’s “Hatfields & McCoys.” That six-hour mini surpassed all expectations with a huge turnout (14 million-plus viewers) over three nights and nabbed an Emmy and Golden Globe win for star Kevin Costner.
“The Bible” is serving as the launching pad for History’s first scripted series, “Vikings,” which also bows Sunday.
“We’re a big fan of the big swing around here,” Dubuc says. “I can’t think of a bigger one than (‘The Bible’). And it won’t be the last.” | <urn:uuid:f7931c82-0a70-49a7-86c5-896a11301af5> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://variety.com/2013/tv/news/history-producers-spread-gospel-in-10-hour-mini-821007/ | 2022-01-22T03:37:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122012907-20220122042907-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.955843 | 1,013 |

Recommended print settings:
- Nozzle temperature: 280 - 300 ° C
- Heating bed temperature: 25 - 50 ° C (do not exceed 50 ° C)
- Installation space temperature: 25 - 50 ° C (do not exceed 50 ° C)
- Printing speed: 60 mm / s

The print settings are based on a printer with a 0.4 mm nozzle and are reference values only.
PolyMide ™ PA6-CF can be printed on almost any surface with a thin layer of PVA adhesive or Magigoo PA. We recommend a flexplate to facilitate removal of the model from the plate.
PolyMide ™ PA6-CF contains 20% chopped carbon fibres, which makes it very abrasive. It is important to use an abrasion resistant nozzle.
PolyMide ™ PA6-CF can easily damage a brass nozzle after a few hundred grams of printing. Hardened nozzles are more expensive than conventional brass nozzles. Therefore, it is important to consider the amount of materials to use.
Polymaker recommends a full-metal hot-end that maintains a stable temperature of at least 280 ° C.
Annealing the components
Polymaker recommends that all models made with PolyMide ™ PA6-CF be post-cured. This allows the user to utilize the full mechanical and thermal properties of this material. During annealing, the model is placed in an oven at 90 ° C for 2 hours.

A good amount of full time workers sign up for course overnight, and they’re a good location to fulfill cougars. Furthermore but lessons alternatives normally convince crowd plans and team talks. For this reason, you’ll obtain countless chances to chat up some older women.
A group project is a wonderful possible opportunity to need a lady’s telephone number. And if a link does not come about at once, no sweat! You’ve got the complete name to gather their attention.

Add to that the point that preparing jointly can rely as foreplay. And arousal that requires titillating the lady detects are a surefire approach to posses best love with senior people.
9. cruise trips happen to be surprisingly great at letting you fulfill female
Do you want to invest an amount of bucks in order to meet a momma? If that’s the case, you might like to consider booking a cruise. There’s no problem with moving all by yourself, it might present more the possiblility to chat all the way up old girls. But selecting a buddy or two is fantastic, at the same time.
a cruise may possibly not be on the roof of the journey bucket variety. Nevertheless, you can be amazed simply how much a lot of fun you’ll have got. There’s many people to meet up and unlimited activities to do.

A former biscuit factory on Merseyside is to be demolished and replaced with hundreds of homes.
The Burton's Biscuits site in Moreton, Wirral, will become 'Jellicoe Gardens', and consist of 257 homes ranging from two-bed semis to four-bed detached.
Avison Young announced on Monday it had advised on the successful completion of the land sale to Bellway, and demolition work at the site has begun.
The site was previously home to Burton's - the multinational firm that manufactures Wagon Wheels and Jammie Dodgers - which closed the Wirral factory back in 2011.
According to Avison Young, 231 of the homes will be for private sale, with 26 set to be 'affordable'.
Claire Robinson, associate director at Avison Young, said: “The total site area extends to 24 acres and the houses that will be delivered on this brownfield site will help to address the shortage of new residential development in Wirral in a well-connected location, just 20 minutes outside of Liverpool.
“It is encouraging that quality national housebuilders such as Bellway remain active and committed to sites such as this in Moreton as it will be an important step in the economy’s recovery following the Covid 19 restrictions.”

Named after Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe, the scheme will also restore and preserve an existing water feature designed by the renowned landscape architect.
Burton’s axed hundreds of jobs at its Pasture Road site in 2011, bringing more than 60 years of biscuit manufacture there to an end, with various plans subsequently put forward for redevelopment.
James McGivern, senior land manager at Bellway, said: “We are delighted to have acquired the site and to be able to progress plans to cater for a wide variety of prospective home owners, from first time buyers to families, from Moreton and the surrounding areas.
“As well as delivering 26 affordable dwellings as part of the Jellicoe Gardens scheme, Bellway will also pay £347,940 via a Section 106 agreement to improve the local ecology, provide football pitches and highways in the local area, as well as lift access improvements to the adjacent Moreton train station so that benefits can be felt throughout the community.” | <urn:uuid:5973d849-173b-4d9c-ab3a-ebea7097f106> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.business-live.co.uk/technology/former-wagon-wheel-biscuit-factory-19246936 | 2022-01-22T03:26:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122012907-20220122042907-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.946688 | 648 |
Ride-hailing refers to an act when a customer orders a customised ride online usually via a smartphone application. In essence, it is similar to a taxi service. The customer orders the ride from a ride-hailing platform – a third party that mediates the service between the driver and the passenger. The best-known mediators are Uber and Lyft.
How does ride-hailing work?
The customer orders a car from an app. The app sends their location and request to a nearby driver who can decide if they want to accept the ride. If they accept the ride, the customer can see the car in their app as it rides towards them and the time it will take for the car to arrive. They also see information about the ride, such as a number plate number and the name of the driver.
Once that car has arrived, they can just get in and relax. Most of the ride-hailing platforms charge the cost of the ride straight from the customer’s card. So the users don’t even have to worry about the payment – they can just step out of the car when they get to their destination.
As opposed to ride-sharing, the driver generally does not make any stops between the starting point and destination. The drivers offer their services for a profit, and riders cannot split the cost with the driver. The payment is charged automatically and the income is shared between the mediator and the driver.

Just like with people, proper hydration is critical to keep pets healthy.
The Importance of Water for Pets
Water is the main component of healthy, living cells in your pet's body. And while human bodies are about 60% water, your pet's body is 80% water!
The purpose of water is to carry and move important nutrients into and out of cells. It aids in the digestion of food, is needed for healthy muscles and joints, and naturally removes waste from the body.
Keeping your pets hydrated will also serve to cool their body down and help them maintain normal body temperature. Every important body function requires water and without the right amount, your pet can become dehydrated and ill very quickly.
Both cats and dogs, on average, need about an ounce of water per pound of their body weight daily. Birds need to drink enough water to make up 5% of their body weight to replace the water lost from bodily functions. Besides these general guidelines, more water may be necessary depending on the environmental temperatures and amount of exercise your pet gets.
Just as bad as a lack of water is a lack of clean water. It is important to have fresh, clean water available to your pet at all times. You can count on Cleveland Water to deliver clean, high-quality tap water that's safe for you, your family, and your pets.
How to Keep Your Pet Hydrated
- Know how much water your pet needs. Generally, cats and dogs need about an ounce of water per pound of their body weight daily. So check how much your pet weighs occasionally for a baseline.
- Know the signs of dehydration. These include vomiting, loss of energy, excessive panting, loss of appetite, dry gums and eyes, loss of skin elasticity.
- Bring water with you. If you often take your pet on long walks, car rides, or trips of any kind, it’s good to have a water bottle for yourself and for your pet. Take a few breaks to give fresh water to them. If you’re thirsty, chances are your pet is too.
- Add water to your pet’s food. Humans can get a lot of water from the foods that we eat. Pet food, however, isn’t especially high in water content. If you begin thinking your pet might not be getting enough water from drinking alone, try adding a little water to the dry kibble or start using more wet food.
- Have plenty of water available at all time. Besides bringing extra water bottles with you on-the-go, it is especially important to have the same available at home. Check your pet’s bowls often and refill as needed; whether there’s none left or there’s debris in the water. Try using a bowl that’s not easily knocked over and easy to get to, dogs especially are notorious for spilling their water. | <urn:uuid:6fa5a217-74ab-4197-927e-133b3a0bc1b6> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.clevelandwater.com/blog/what-know-about-pet-hydration | 2022-01-22T04:18:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122012907-20220122042907-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.949298 | 597 |
Get a clear view and action plan to achieve compliance with the current privacy legislation
Are you compliant with the current privacy legislation including GDPR? A gap analysis of your current privacy situation offers a clear view on the privacy risks your organization currently faces as well as an idea of the measures to take to achieve compliance. This privacy assessment can also be useful to efficiently start your privacy implementation journey.
CRANIUM shows you how to start your privacy implementation trajectory
- We start with a kick-off to create awareness and a privacy assessment questionnaire for your key stakeholders in order to collect and analyze data.
- This is followed by a full privacy and risk analysis.
- Our findings are gathered in a privacy report and coupled with a privacy roadmap for privacy risk mitigation including priority and variability settings. This privacy assessment will tell you exactly how and where to start your privacy implementation trajectory (including GDPR). Read more about our DPIA if you are looking for more advice related to a specific high-risk processing activity.
Assess your compliance level and track the potential improvements
Conducting a privacy audit of your organization in accordance with a documented audit procedure can track potential improvements and improve your compliance. You will know if you are tackling the right aspects of your data protection framework and if you are doing so efficiently. But first and foremost this will demonstrate your privacy commitment and legislation compliance towards external and internal stakeholders.
CRANIUM links your risks to concrete recommendations
As there is no proper framework for approved certification mechanisms yet, CRANIUM uses the BC5701:2018 standard as a practical guideline, reshuffling the framework into nine manageable blocks. We begin the audit with a series of interviews with internal stakeholders, combined with a thorough review of the documentation provided. Based on this input, we identify the risks for each section. Thereafter the ideal situation is described, linking the risks to concrete recommendations, concluded by a summary advice for the follow-up process.

To park or to develop is always a key question for transit station area planning. Planners are interested in a hybrid option, citing park-and-ride (P&R) facilities at the periphery of development around transitway stations. However, the literature offers little evidence for how far a P&R lot can be located from transitways while maximizing ridership and revenue. Using a stated preference survey of 568 P&R users in the Twin Cities, this study conducted several experiments to illustrate their walking tolerance and identify built environment attributes that influence the walking distance. Walking distance is much more important than intersection safety, pedestrian infrastructure, and building appearance in affecting P&R users' choice. The average walking distance is three city blocks when the minimum walking distance is set as two blocks in the experiments. Intersection safety, pedestrian infrastructure, and building appearance help mitigate the disutility of walking distance. If all three characteristics are adequate, it seems that P&R users are willing to walk 1.8 blocks farther than their existing facilities. A further analysis shows that the effects of these four dimensions vary by transit type. The analysis of stated importance illustrates that when determining how far P&R users are willing to walk, they value snow clearance, street lighting, and intersection safety the most. In general, the quality of sidewalk network connecting transit stops and P&R facilities is the most important, followed by safety and security attributes associated with the walking environment. However, the aesthetic quality seems to be the least important for P&R users.

Thank you Tillamook for sponsoring this post. Visit your local Publix to buy Tillamook Ice Cream today!
Looking for chocolate dessert recipes and/or fancy dessert recipes for the holidays that are actually easy to make? You JUST FOUND IT. This Death By Chocolate Fudge Tart is a dark chocolate fudge brownie pie, studded with toasted pecans and poked with pools of dark chocolate ganache. Whatever you do, don’t forget the Tillamook vanilla ice cream to top it off. The pairing is unbeatable!
Why Chocolate Dessert Recipes Need Tillamook Old Fashioned Vanilla Ice Cream
In my estimation, you CAN’T have CHOCOLATE without VANILLA. The two flavors balance and highlight each others qualities. Vanilla ice cream actually intensifies the dark chocolate fudge flavors and richness of this Death By Chocolate Fudge Tart, which looks like a fancy dessert recipe, but is really easy to make. I choose Tillamook Old Fashioned Vanilla Ice Cream to accompany this chocolate dessert recipe because it’s made from the highest quality ingredients (i.e. no artificial growth hormones, high-fructose corn syrup or artificial ingredients) and it’s so creamy, rich and lush it’s really the best to serve with this brownie pie.
The key to this easy brownie tart is using the best quality chocolate you can find, and being sure to let it set before serving. The dark chocolate fudge interior is slightly undercooked, therefore it needs several hours of resting time to firm up before cutting into it and adding that scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Death By Chocolate Fudge Tart Ingredients
- Unsalted Butter
- Bittersweet Chocolate
- Dutch Process Cocoa
- Cream Cheese
- All Purpose Flour
I’m always one for doing things the “easy” way as long as it doesn’t have a negative impact on the finished product. This simple way of combining the butter and chocolate is easier, quicker, and makes less mess than the double boiler method usually demanded in chocolate dessert recipes.
Easy Way To Melt Chocolate & Butter
- Chop the bittersweet chocolate and combine with the butter in a microwaveable bowl or glass measuring cup.
- Microwave in 20-30 second bursts until the butter is melted.
- Whisk the chocolate and butter together until smooth and creamy.
The rich batter is so thick and deeply fudgy, I felt compelled to swipe a finger across the spatula and taste — for quality control purposes, ahem. Yep. Fudgy.
Make Brownie Pie Batter
- Add the cocoa powder and whisk to combine.
- Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the sugar and vanilla.
- Add the cream cheese and whisk until it’s mostly incorporated. (The cream cheese adds so much moisture)
- Stir in the flour, just until no traces of dry flour remain — do not overmix.
If you’re not into nuts, you can certainly skip them here, but for me, the toasted pecans add just the right crunch to this incredible chocolate dessert recipe.
Toasted Pecans Add Texture To Fudge Tart
- Toast the pecans on a baking sheet until they’re darker in color and aromatic. Let them cool to room temperature before adding to the brownie pie batter.
- Chop the nuts finely and add them to the dark chocolate fudge.
- Spread the batter into a prepared 9 1/2″ tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Bake the tart on a rimmed baking sheet — to avoid spills and accidents (hello – it’s got a removable bottom — need I say more???)
Most fancy dessert recipes with chocolate usually include a chocolate ganache. That might sound highfalutin’ and hard to make… but it’s not. We simply revert back to the microwave method from above, with a few modifications. You’ll love this easier, foolproof approach…
Making Chocolate Ganache
- Chop the chocolate into very small pieces.
- Add cream to a microwaveable bowl or glass measuring cup.
- Microwave for 45 seconds to a minute, or until the cream starts to boil.
- Add the chocolate to the cream and let sit for one minute without disturbing.
- Whisk the chocolate and cream together until all the chocolate has melted and you have a smooth creamy ganache. THAT’S IT. Seriously simple, right?
How Do I Tell If The Fudge Tart Is Done?
Use a toothpick or cake tester and insert it 1″ from the side of the pan. If it comes out clean, it’s done. Note: if you stick the toothpick into the center of the tart, it won’t be clean — because we’re purposely UNDERCOOKING IT.
How Do I Make Divots In the Brownie Pie?
I recommend this hack for creating divots for the puddles of ganache in this dark chocolate fudge tart because you likely have the tools in your kitchen drawer and it works!
- Use the handle end of a wooden spoon (about 1/2″ in diameter).
- Butter the last 1″ of the spoon with a pat of butter, use a paper towel to rub it in.
- Press the handle into the brownie tart, going all the way to the bottom of the tart and twisting.
- Lift the spoon and continue making divots evenly, every 1″ or so over the surface of the tart.
- Note: if the spoon needs more butter, smear more over the end.
You’ll want to fill the newly formed wells with ganache and there are 3 ways to do it. Pick the one that works best for you! works best for you!
3 Ways To Fill Divots With Dark Chocolate Fudge Ganache
- If you have a steady hand, pour directly from the measuring cup into the holes.
- Use a small teaspoon to fill the divots with ganache.
- Transfer the chocolate ganache to a sandwich baggie. Seal it and make a small snip off the corner of the baggie. Gently squeeze to fill the divots.
NOTE: As the chocolate ganache dries, some of it may sink into the cake. That’s ok, refill the divots so they’re even with the top, then spread the remaining ganache over the surface of the Death By Chocolate Fudge Tart and smooth it with an offset spatula.
Decorating or garnishing this rich chocolate dessert recipe isn’t necessary, but if you’re doing this for a special occasion, a little embellishment can make it more festive. I found these holiday-ish white snowflake sprinkles and thought they’d be beautiful against the dark backdrop of dark chocolate fudge. At the very least, you’ll want to serve each slice with a scoop of Tillamook vanilla ice cream. Trust me, it’s the easiest and MOST DELICIOUS way to upgrade dessert this holiday season or anytime.
More Decorating Ideas
- Colored “jimmies” for a birthday party theme.
- Pastel sprinkles for spring or Easter.
- Red “hearts” or Red Hots For Valentines Day.
- White, Gold or Silver sugar pearls for Christmas, New Year’s Eve or Anniversaries.
- Place a stencil over the tart and sprinkle with powdered sugar or a dusting of cocoa. Carefully remove stencil.
- Mound a pile of fresh berries in the center of the tart (be sure that berries are COMPLETELY DRY before adding).
- Toasted whole pecans around the rim of the tart and center.
- Chocolate shavings mounded in the center of the tart
Note: You want to add the decorations while the ganache is still pliable, but not too wet. I usually add them about 30 minutes to an hour after spreading the ganache over the top of the tart, this way they stick, but don’t plop too deeply into the chocolate.
Don’t You Love Fancy Dessert Recipes That Are Easy To Make?
I do. I’m not much of a baker, so when I can create chocolate dessert recipes that elicit “oohs” and “aahs” from my diners without requiring a pastry pedigree from Le Cordon Bleu, I feel like that’s a WIN. If you’re like me and want to impress but don’t have the skill of a professional pastry chef, this recipe is a winner.
Serving Death By Chocolate Fudge Tart
This is no ordinary brownie pie, it’s deeply fudgy, and moist with dark chocolate flavor that will make your eyes roll back in your head with sheer pleasure. In fact, the flavor is so intense, you probably don’t need more than a sliver of the tart per serving and I highly recommend a scoop of this impeccable vanilla ice cream to go with. The creamy, cold Tillamook Old Fashioned Vanilla ice cream, augments the dark chocolate flavor of the tart, making it more enjoyable. They use more cream than air in their premium ice cream, making each bite lush, smooth and creamy. OMG, this combination is incredible.

Death By Chocolate Fudge Tart
- 9 1/2" fluted tart pan with removable bottom
FOR BROWNIE TART:
- 1 cup pecans chopped
- 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 ounces good quality bittersweet chocolate
- 1/2 cup + 2 teaspoons Dutch processed cocoa
- 1 cup + 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 ounces cream cheese at room temperature, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
FOR CHOCOLATE GANACHE:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- Tillamook Old Fashioned Vanilla Ice Cream
- Preheat the oven to 325°
- Cut a piece of parchment to fit the bottom of the tart pan. Spray the tart pan and place the parchment on the removable bottom. Spray the parchment paper and set aside.
- Toast the pecans by placing them on a cookie sheet and heating in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until fragrant and browned. Set aside to cool.
- Cut the butter into chunks and transfer to a microwaveable bowl or 2 cup glass measuring cup.
- Roughly chop 3 ounces of the chocolate and add it to the butter. Microwave in 20-30 second bursts, stirring after each burst until the chocolate and butter are smooth and combined. Transfer the chocolate mixture to a large bowl.
- Whisk in the cocoa powder. Add eggs one at a time and whisk after each addition. Add the sugar and whisk into the chocolate mixture. Whisk in the vanilla.
- Add the room temperature cream cheese to the chocolate mixture and whisk together until just very small bits of cream cheese remain. Whisk in the flour and salt, combining just until the flour is moistened.
- Chop the pecans finely and add to the chocolate mixture. Stir to combine. Transfer the chocolate brownie batter to the prepared tart pan and smooth over with a spatula.
- Bake the tart in a hot oven for 35-40 minutes or until a cake tester placed 1" from the edge comes out clean. (Note: interior will be very fudgy and seemingly undercooked.)
- Chop the chocolate very finely.
- Heat the cream in a glass measuring cup or bowl in the microwave for 45 seconds to a minute, until very hot.
- Add the chocolate to the hot cream and let sit for about 1 minute. Whisk the chocolate and cream together until silky and smooth. Set aside.
ASSEMBLE THE TART:
- Butter the handle end of a wooden spoon (about 1/2" diameter).
- When the tart just comes out of the oven, press the handle of the greased wooden spoon into the tart, all the way to the bottom, making a twisting motion. Continue to make the divots all over the surface area of the brownie tart, about 1" apart. You should have 24-28 divots.
- With a spoon or (if you have a steady hand) pouring from the glass measuring cup, fill each of the divots with the chocolate ganache.
- Carefully transfer the tart to a wire baking rack and let cool completely. The ganache will sink as the brownie cools, however, you can continue to fill them with more ganache, if necessary. When the tart is completely cool and the puddles begin to firm up. Spread the remaining ganache over the entire tart and even it out with an offset spatula. If you'd like to decorate with sprinkles or other garnish, do it now.
- Rest the tart, uncovered and at room temperature until the ganache has set and is firm to the touch.
- When ganache has set, place one hand flat on the bottom of the tart pan and with the other remove the collar. Use a thin offset spatula to wedge between the bottom of the tart pan and the parchment paper. In one quick movement, transfer the tart to a cake stand or platter.
- Slice and serve with a scoop of Old Fashioned Vanilla Ice Cream. | <urn:uuid:7fe9dbc6-4c44-4a87-a3cd-e7263b214bd4> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.garlicandzest.com/death-by-chocolate-fudge-tart/ | 2022-01-22T02:33:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122012907-20220122042907-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.855045 | 3,019 |

Sometimes it’s easy for things to fall off the radar if they
aren’t right in front of us. The latest Institute for Corporate Productivity
(i4cp) research suggests that may be just what’s happening to Diversity &
Inclusion initiatives in a significant number of companies that have shifted to
remote work in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
A new pulse survey of D&I leaders found 27% reporting
that their organizations have put all or most D&I initiatives on hold
because of their response to the pandemic. The same percentage note a decrease
in mentoring and ERG/BRG (employee/business resource group) activity. And 12%
say that D&I is less of a consideration when companies are making decisions
about such workforce changes as reductions, promotions, special assignments and
Which, if any, of the following has your organization
experienced or initiated during the pandemic?
An all-that-apply response
option means total exceeds 100%
With all the challenges organizations and individuals are
facing at present, this is no time to fall back on the tendency to regard
D&I initiatives as nice-to-haves (versus business imperatives). Or to
forget the returns that investments in D&I can realize in supporting
culture, business strategy, leadership diversity, organizational performance,
employee engagement and other vital corporate concerns.
In fact, the good news delivered by the survey findings demonstrates
that many organizations clearly haven’t forgotten. On the positive side:
- 82% of respondents have increased use of
inclusive virtual meeting practices
- 74% say they’ve gained a better
understanding of employees’ personal situations and needs
- 16% report more mentoring and ERG/BRG
- 6% say they see greater consideration of
D&I in workforce-related decision-making
Companies engaging in those positive practices understand
that, while the COVID-19 health threats will, ultimately, pass, organizations’
responses to current work challenges can have long-lasting effects—on talent
brand, employee and customer sentiment, and more.
Now is the time to visibly focus on the ROI of D&I to
ensure that companies keep in place the programs that help strengthen
communication and connections with diverse employees. Those programs will help
ensure that you have the capable, dedicated constituents who will help their organizations
through the new and different challenges still to come when recovery eventually
Among other areas of interest explored by the D&I pulse
survey: whether companies are providing resources to ensure women and
minorities maintain visibility while working remotely (few are), the well-being
resources organizations are sharing with their workforces (mental health
support tops the list) and whether D&I teams are seeing their job functions
the full survey results—due
to the current global health and productivity crisis affecting everyone, i4cp
