Tips for Frames
As I mentioned at the beginning of this chapter, plenty of designers will tell you that you should never use frames. I'm not one of them. However, you should carefully consider the possibility of using tables or other design elements such as CSS. If you decide that frames are the right choice for you, there are some general tips you should follow so that they don't become a point of frustration for users of your site.
As you've seen in this chapter, you can configure a frames page so there are no borders on the frames. Before you choose to go borderless, you should carefully consider your site's design. If you have user interface elements such as graphics that distinguish the frame from the rest of your page, removing the borders might be a suitable option.
Examine the page shown in Figure 6.13. The navigation links at the left side are in one frame, and the main content is in another. However, there's no way to tell that it's a frames page by looking at it. If I scrolled the content page, the navigation would remain in place. That might be what you want, but it also might be confusing to some users. Placing a border on the frame provides a visual indicator that the two parts of the page are separate.
Figure 6.13 Borderless frames can be confusing to users because there is no visual indicator that the frames are separate.
When adding frames for navigation elements, it's often tempting to configure the frames so they cannot be resized. Depending on the site's design, that might or might not be a good idea.
If the content in the frame consists of text, it can often be a bad idea not to allow users to resize the frame. Some users of your site might have adjusted the size of the text in their browsers. In some cases, this can cause your text to overflow the frame.
The page shown in Figure 6.14 is an example of bad design with frames. Notice that the Contact link is not fully visible because I have adjusted the text size in my browser.
Figure 6.14 Text inside a frame can overflow the frame if a user adjusts the text size in his browser.
When using frames in your site, be sure you test carefully. Adjust the size of the text in your browser and test your site again. The goal is to make your site look the way you intend for all site visitors. With careful testing and design, you can easily reach that goal.
Breaking Out of a Frameset
If you do use frames in your site, you run the risk of your frames page being displayed inside a nested frameset. Figure 6.15 shows an example of a nested frameset caused by a link inside a frameset linking to a frames page.

Notice that there are two navigation frames, one belonging to the previous frames page. | <urn:uuid:2e173679-39ed-4bbd-8558-ff90d5b73058> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1671911&seqNum=7 | 2022-01-22T03:52:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122012907-20220122042907-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.902109 | 687 |
Bad Idea Six
I’m leaning against Mauricio’s motorcycle, waiting for him to come out of the school building. He told me to wait here for a bit during English class since he was going to talk to his coach about his schedule.
I am a bit nervous for Mauricio to come over. It has been a long time since he’s been at my house. I am thankful dad is at work, Vikki is working late, and Lilybeth will be over at a friend’s house.
Everything that had happened yesterday has me on my nerves. Just hearing his parents fight like that and his dad being drunk again. I feel intrusive every time I think of bringing it up. He completely ignored my text for a reason and didn’t ask today at all why I texted him that. My guesses are he’s either trying to ignore it or it’s honestly none of my business.
Why would Mauricio ever open to me?
The guy hates me. I hate him too but I know what it’s like to have parents who fight all the time. Let’s not forget my mom and dad fought like crazy before she left.
I look up from my feet to see Maddie walking towards me. She has her arms crossed over her chest and a confused look in her eyes.
“Why are you against Mauricio’s car?” I don’t miss the rude tone in her voice. I choose to ignore it and give her a small smile, “I’m waiting for him to take me home,” I said and she looked at me as if I was crazy.
“No, he’s taking me home.”
“Mauricio told me to wait here. He’s taking me home.”
Her eyebrows raise to the sound of my rude tone. She knows exactly that I know she’s being rude on purpose. The bitch is testing my patience and I’m so close to punching her in the face.
I’ve never liked Maddie and never will.
“Why didn’t Easton take you?” She asks putting her bag on the floor and I shrug, “As I said. Mauricio is taking me home. It’ll be easier for us since he’s coming over.” I bite down my bottom lip and she stands up straight with her face turning hard.
I’ve hit a nerve I see. Maybe saying what I just said in a somewhat sexual way is setting her off.
Please, Maddie should know by now Mauricio is the last person I would ever sleep with. And I’m pretty sure she knows Mauricio would never sleep with me.
So, hate sex isn’t a thing anymore?
Don’t start, little voice in my head.
We hear Mauricio call out our names and we glance over at him.
Mauricio’s eyebrows are furrowed together and his lips are pressed together. He seems so confused about why Maddie is here with me. His brown eyes meet mine and I shrug at him.
“Mauricio, what the hell? You said you’d take me home?” She sounds as if she’s whining. I don’t doubt she isn’t.
“Maddie, shit. I’m sorry, it slipped my mind. I can’t today. I have plans with Myers. Maybe Elias and Josie can take you. They haven’t left yet.”
Mauricio just made this so much better. Now, Maddie thinks her best friend is ditching her for me. He technically is but she seems to think it’s for a hookup.
Once again, Mauricio and I? Never going to be.
“Fine. I’ll see you later, Mauricio. Bye,” Maddie mumbles before walking over to Elias’s car.
I hope the pleased look on my face doesn’t show much.
“Your little girlfriend is possessive over you. Are you guys sure you’re more than best friends?” I asked with a smirk on my face and Mauricio ignores me while rolling his eyes.
He grabbed the extra helmet from under his seat and practically threw it at me. I’m just happy he didn’t shove it on like the few times he’s done before.
We both got onto the motorcycle and like every other time, we let the music surround us on the way home.
When we got home that’s when my thoughts started making me anxious. I kept thinking about how we’d be alone in my room. No one is home to stop us from killing each other.
“Is anyone home?” Mauricio asks putting away the helmets, “No, it’ll just be us.” He snorts and I raise an eyebrow. “Did I miss the joke?” I ask and he shakes his head, “No. I just thought of something.” The way he licks his lips and quickly looks away kind of sets my nerves off.
We walk over to my front door and it takes me a while to unlock it since my hands are shaking a bit. I am a bit nervous about Mauricio coming inside and seeing what my house looks like.
Mauricio and I enter the house and go straight upstairs to my bedroom. He didn’t stop and looked around like I expected him to. All he did was sat on my bed and took out his things.
I close my bedroom door behind me, “Is there anything you want to drink?” He doesn’t even bother looking at me. He shakes his head and starts typing something on his laptop. My eyes practically roll to the back of my head and I’m begging God to give me patience with this boy.
I walk over to the bed and start pulling out my things. That’s when Mauricio suddenly stands up and walks over to my wall of photo collages.
“Are these pictures of Mark and you?” He lightly chuckles and leans forward to get a better view of Mark’s portrait. My feet are quick to respond when they quickly make me run over to the photo collages on the wall.
This is embarrassing. Some of these pictures are embarrassing.
“Yeah, I created these last year. Right before we left for the beach house. Mark couldn’t stop hugging me after he’s seen it,” I laugh at the memory and Mauricio chuckles at a picture of Mark in his swimsuit.
He looks over at the other photo collages of Josie, Easton, my family, and the group.
“How did you and Mark become close?” Mauricio picks up a framed photo of Mark and me. He stares down at it with squinted eyes and I almost question it.
“Uh, in middle school. He was being an ass to Khloe, so, I kicked him in the shins. The next day I felt bad and invited him over to my house. He came over and ever since we’ve been best friends,” I said with a smile wide on my face remembering how it all started.
“He comes over on Sundays to hang out with us. My family thinks he’s like our adoptive brother. Lilybeth doesn’t like it when we call him son and brother. She has this huge crush on him, so it’s weird for her to ever think of him like that,” I laugh at the memory of Mark giving her Valentine’s day chocolate box. She wouldn’t shut up about it all day and didn’t talk to me for a week when I ate one of the chocolates. She told me they were sacred and only for her.
Mauricio stares at the pictures of the group. I see his eyes staring at one specific picture. The picture of me and him when we were younger. When our parents made us take a picture for my tenth birthday.
He glanced over at me and I was so sure I saw something different in his eyes. Something I’ve never seen before. But he didn’t let me figure it out. He breaks the eye contact and goes back to the bed.
“So—” I walk over to my bed and sit on the corner of it, “—is soccer practice also starting in October for you?” He nods and says, “Yeah, the coaches as you know already fixed up my schedule. I’ll be going to soccer practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For basketball, it’ll be Monday’s, Wednesday’s, and Fridays.”
I nodded my head and grabbed my laptop. I’m sitting on the corner of my bed to avoid being any type of close to him.
Is this what it has come down to?
Am I not strong enough to ignore whatever the hell is going on between us?
I’d be lying if I said these past few weeks, ever since the summer ended, there hasn’t been something off about Mauricio and me. I don’t know if I’m being paranoid or just being a total idiot. But something is off and a part of me both wants to figure it out. The other part of me is telling me to stay as far away from it.
Maybe I’m just being an idiot. Mauricio seems perfectly fine from my point of view and I’m pretty sure he still hates my guts. There’s still never a day he doesn’t remind me how much he despises me.
Is that why he ignored my text?
I mentally curse at myself for jumping to conclusions. Of course, Mauricio won’t tell me about his time at home. It’s none of my business nor are we close enough—not close at all to have these kinds of conversations.
Should I still ask him though?
My eyes glance over at him and I see him with his eyebrows furrowed together. He seems deep in concentration with his smoldering eyes and lips pressed together.
Why does he look so hot just sitting there and doing his work?
Ugh. I mentally slap myself for thinking Mauricio that way. Yes, he’s attractive, and yes, this boy across the bed from me annoys the fuck out of me. But I’d be a liar if I said Mauricio didn’t ignite a fire within me, I never knew I had.
When I saw him during our window encounter without a shirt and only boxers on, I had to fight my urges from looking down at his chest and the outline of his—“I’m going to change into something comfortable.” I quickly stand up and widen my eyes at my recent thoughts.
Mauricio looks up at me and nods his head. I don’t miss the fire that ignites in his eyes.
I go over to my cabinets and start pulling out everything I need.
My phone chimes and I glance over my shoulder to see someone has texted me. I hold my clothes against my chest and walk over to my bed where my phone is.
I put down my clothes on the bed next to Mauricio and grab ahold of my phone.
Easton: How’s it going with Mauricio? You guys haven’t killed each other right?
Me: I’m sorry the person you have texted is dying from how awkward this fucking meet up is :)
Easton: LMAO. Hang on there. It’s only the first day ;)
I’m about to answer back with a snarky comment until I see something red from the corner of my eye. Mauricio is holding up my red bikini panties.
My eyes widen at the sight of them. I suck in a breath and when I try to snatch the underwear from his hold, he quickly puts his laptop down on the bed and stands up. We’re both trying to tower over each other as I try to take away my underwear from his hold.
“Mauricio, don’t be an asshole. Give it to me!”
He puts it over his head and now I’m jumping up to grab it.
Why is he so tall?
“These yours? Oh, how pretty, Myers!” He hollers with laughter and steps back until he’s leaning against the cabinets. “Mauricio, give them back! I’m going to murder you!” I end up giving up and smacking him on the chest.
“Say please,” He says with a smug look on his face.
“You’re acting like a child. Just give them to me.” I finally grab hold of them but I’m too late to realize what I have just caused.
Brown to green eyes. My chest against his chest. Faces inches apart. Our breaths caught in our throats.
I’m on my toes, holding onto my underwear and his arm is still upholding it also. His eyes are staring into mine and there is so much I wish I could ask him. So many questions run through my head.
Why are things changing?
Do you feel it too?
How many times can you make a girl orgasm?
My eyes widen to my last thought. I’m crazy to even think I could ever ask that. He’ll probably laugh in my face before telling me I’m a creep.
Mauricio’s eyes travel down to my lips and I can see his adam’s apple move up and down as he gulps.
Was it always like this?
My mind travels back in time to my memories of Mauricio and me. I look back at the times we’ve had...encounters like this. And yes, we have. Ever since we’ve started hanging around each other, it always seemed we found ourselves in situations we should not be in. It started becoming more noticeable once the summer ended. The more things started happening the more whatever is going on between us is igniting.
I’m just reading everything wrong. Mauricio and I have always hated each other. There was never a time we didn’t remind each other that. There is no sexual tension and nothing is going on. I’m with Easton, his best friend and Mauricio would never betray his best friend. And I would never feel something for someone who’s hated me since we were kids for no reason.
There. Is. Nothing.
The sound of the front door closing makes us pull away.
I suck in a breath and bunch up my underwear into my fist.
“I’ll see who’s home. We could start reading after I change,” I say and open the door, walking over to the stairs.
“Vikki is that you?” I call out and when I see my dad at the end of the stairs, I’m filled with confusion.
He’s holding a box of pizza and his work bag.
“Hola, Sarai. Is anyone else home?” He asks and I shake my head, “No, Vikki is still at work and Lilybeth is with a friend. Did something happen at the dealership?” He shakes his head and goes over to the kitchen.
I’ll ask him why he came home early, in a bit. I need to tell Mauricio my dad is home and he should probably say hello.
I walk back into my bedroom and see Mauricio reading the book we picked out. Well, more like he picked it out and practically blackmailed me to read.
“So, my dad is home and he brought pizza. You don’t have to come down or anything. I can bring the pizza up if you want any?”
He looks up from his book, “You had me at pizza, Myers. Also, I’m not some asshole. I have manners. It’d be weird of me not to say hello to your dad when I’m in his own house.” He rolls his eyes and I can hear the sarcasm in his voice.
Does he want to get slapped across the face?
Mauricio puts his book down and stands up. We both head downstairs to the kitchen to find my dad already eating a slice.
“Dad,” I say leaning against the kitchen table. He looks up and does a double-take on Mauricio. My dad even stands up straight as if he’s preparing to throw Mauricio out the door.
“Mauricio, dad. Dad, Mauricio, our neighbor. We’re doing a project together for this semester and it’s an after school one too. So, he’ll be over a lot.”
Mauricio gives me a side glance and I realized I rambled a bit.
“Hello, Mr. Hernandez. I’m your next-door neighbor and a friend of Easton’s.” Mauricio shakes hands with my dad. My dad snorts at the sound of Easton’s name.
Dad hates Easton. He didn’t hate him at first, but when he found out about Jianna, dad didn’t take it well.
“Call me Samuel, kid. I get called Mr. Hernandez too much.” Dad chuckles and Mauricio nods his head.
“You guys want to take a break and eat some pizza? Watch a movie?” Dad hands plates to us and we nod excitedly, “Yes, I’m glad you bought food. Saved me the trouble of making a sandwich for later on.”
Dad gives me a side glance before mumbling about how I’m being lazy. Mauricio laughs at this while grabbing a few slices from the box. I glare at them both and grab a few slices for myself.
The three of us head over to the living room and sit down on the couches. Both Mauricio and I sit down on the two seated couch while dad sits on the rocking chair across from us.
We end up watching a Spanish comedy on Netflix. Then we moved onto a soccer game between ‘Chivas’ and “America’. The both of them cheer for ‘America’ and almost tackled me to the ground when I told them ‘Chivas’ was better. It was a joke to mess with them but a bad one since my dad made me go up to my room.
My dad and Mauricio could not stop talking about soccer after. They have officially become best friends and I don’t know how to feel about that.
The one good thing that came out of this was I got to read for a bit in peace. Well, half of the time I had to yell at them to keep it down every time they yelled at the television.
Mauricio ended up coming back into my room when the game ended. My dad felt bad for me and made him come help me out with the project. To my surprise Mauricio didn’t put up a fight nor did he hesitate to come back upstairs.
Mauricio doesn’t say anything when he comes in. He only grabs his book and lays down across from me on the bed.
Our backs turned to each other and even though I should be reading, I can lowly hear his parents yelling. I’m not sure if Mauricio can hear it but I choose to simply ignore it. I’m sure he doesn’t hear it. He’s not that close to the window.
When I turn to face his back, I see his tensed shoulders and how he shifts uncomfortably. Maybe he can hear them and is waiting for me to say something.
No. Stay out of his business.
But it’s eating me up and I know how much of a good day he’s been having so far. I don’t want this to ruin it.
He glances over his shoulder at me and I see the blank look on his face.
“I don’t mean to intrude or anything. But, the other day I heard your parents fighting. And then, I remembered when your dad was drunk. I texted you to see if everything was all right but you never responded?” I sounded like such an idiot. I’m not even sure what I said makes sense and from the look on his face, I have intruded.
The brown eyes become dark and his face hardens. He sits up from the bed and looks down at his book hard. I can see the way his hands clench onto the book and the way his jaw clenches.
I’ve done it. I have gone too far.
“Mauricio, I didn’t—” He cuts me off when he says, “Just drop it. I don’t want to hear about this again.” I watched as he gathered his things and left me on the bed with guilt surrounding my body.
“I’ll see you tomorrow,” He said before walking out of the room. I can hear his hurried footsteps as he tries to hurry down the stairs. Mumbled voices come from downstairs and then the door closing shut comes after.
What did I just do?
I shouldn’t have asked or even brought it up. It’s none of my business and I’m not the right person to ask such questions.
Both of us have no type of relationship going on between us. The only thing we have between us is the hate for each other. There will always be hate between us. It’s been like this for years and I’ve made a mistake to think I can ever ask him about his parents.
God, I am an idiot.
I, now, wish I kept my mouth shut.
Should’ve kept my mouth shut.

The American Law Institute on Thursday is set to consider guidelines for liability insurance law, including hotly contested proposals regarding requirements for insurers to pay policyholders’ attorneys’ fees in coverage disputes and the standard for punitive damages in bad faith cases.
The ALI Council has already largely approved the first three chapters of its Restatement of the Law of Liability Insurance, a set of guidelines aimed at providing courts with guidance in resolving coverage issues across the spectrum. The restatement, which is subject to the approval of the ALI’s membership, is designed to articulate common law on insurance issues in a way that reflects “the law as it presently stands or might plausibly be stated by a court,” according to the organization.
Now, the project’s leaders are set to meet with advisers in Philadelphia to debate primarily over the restatement’s fourth chapter, which addresses the remedies available to policyholders in the event an insurer is found to breach its duty to defend, among other issues.
But Sheri Pastor, leader of McCarter & English LLP’s insurance practice group, said that the restatement’s general prohibition on recoupment is “the perfectly appropriate treatment” from a policyholder’s perspective.
“General liability policies don’t contain insurer reimbursement provisions,” Pastor said. “Insurers know how to draft such provisions, but don’t include them. Insurance policies do, however, make clear that they are complete, integrated agreements. Courts should not rewrite contracts for an insurer, inserting provisions that in a way are entirely contrary to policyholders’ reasonable expectations.” | <urn:uuid:0598ec0e-d518-4b8b-bf3f-540dbd5beeb9> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.mccarter.com/insights/sheri-pastor-quoted-in-5-key-proposals-on-alis-insurance-agenda-which-appeared-in-law360/ | 2022-01-22T03:28:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122012907-20220122042907-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.947157 | 344 |

For the longest time, my heart has always been split between computer science and computer engineering. Both with the spotlight during different periods of my college life. One being the theoretical part of things, how to reason about and analyze algorithms, linear algebra, abstract algebra, category theory. The other being applied to software engineering, which is my day to day job. Dealing with management, software estimates, development, testing, gathering requirements, having the skills to talk with people, convince, lead at meetings, and create an architecture with the usual “-ility”, extensibility, scalability, maintainability. For the last couple of months, I’ve been more introspective about my growth, both personal and career wise. Feeling a lack of technical mentorship, I set myself on a path to become better engineer by reading more, understanding and interiorizing the learnings from the books. And it feels like such a slow process, almost imperceptible since not all the time I have previous experiences that I can use to interiorize the learning. So I’ve become more attentive to my surroundings at work, understand how everyone handles the situations, and how they get solved. With the theoretical side of things is harder for me. Since I’m not used to reading math, I do understand some notation, and can do a differentiation, integration, some matrices operations, and some other easy things. It’s been a really steep learning curve, with regards of category theory, so I’ve been moving up the abstract chain. More (or less) abstraction, so I went from category theory to abstract algebra and linear algebra. Moving one level up (or down) has made things easier for me, it’s easier to understand matrices, and after that groups and rings. Hopefully in a couple (or more) months I’ll get more used to all this math material and can start reading computer science white papers, and creating a connection between all this math and functional programming which is my goal. To balance things out, alternating between both, I’ve been reading one book related to software engineering, and do math exercises (with a textbook) along with YouTube videos. What I’m trying to achieve, is to make what I consider would be growth for me, in my career. Learning more theory, and becoming a better engineer that delivers value. It’s nice to help other people with their doubts and questions about a subject that you’ve been studying for the last several months. In the end, it depends on where you want to be in regards to your personal life and career plan. Hopefully growing and being happy along the way. | <urn:uuid:27ea7c11-9867-46ee-989b-e447bcaa3bec> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.oscarfunes.com/2017/06/18/growth/ | 2022-01-22T03:18:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122012907-20220122042907-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.961594 | 550 |
Panasonic squeezes multi-gigabit short-range wireless communications in phones with WiGig0
The reason underlying Panasonic's obsession with multi-gigabit speeds? We could name a few but being able to stream full HD content wirelessly is among our best guesses. WiGig promises up to 20 times the speed of current wireless LANs, but within a much narrower range, usually limited within a room. It is compatible with standard 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi bands and Bluetooth 4.0.
While multi-gigabit sounds pretty vague, even at its lowest – 2Gpbs – the technology should be more than enough of streaming some high quality videos, but it's the impressive speeds of up to 5 gigabits that are planned. And when it comes to timing, Qualcomm's tri-band 2.4GHz/5GHz/60GHz Wi-Fi AR9004TB chipset fit perfectly as it was announced mere days ago with sampling starting this summer. Just when can we expect to see it in real devices? We don't have an exact answer for that, but judging from all visible clues, the coming year or so sound like a right guess, so stay tuned.

Three years had passed.
Three whole years.
School was done.
Iida was working in a robotics and engineering company, making jet packs that could be strapped to either legs or back to propel someone forward.
Well… you already know, don’t you, because you’re you. 😉
After two years of dating- once you had graduated- you and Iida had moved in together.
It was tough, considering how uptight Iida is but you eventually got used to each other’s ways and things settled in nicely.
“Hey,” you hummed to Iida one weekend afternoon as you watched some random movie on the TV.
“Yes, Y/N?” he asked, stroking his fingers down your back as you lay into his side.
“I don’t want this to be too staged or forward or whatever but next time things get heavy between us… can we… go all the way?”
Iida’s hand paused- mid stroke- on your back and you stayed still, waiting for his reply.
At not having any reply for a solid 5 minutes, you hesitated a look up at his face, craning your head back and looking up.
He was beetroot red, sweet beading on his forehead as he stared straight ahead.
“Tenya, chill,” you chuckled, “like… if you’re not ready, that’s fine, but I thought I’d put it out there. We’ve been dating for 3 years now so I wanted you to know that I’m ready… just in case you were holding back on my behalf.”
Iida gently slid out from under you and stood up, turing around to face you before smacking his hands to his sides and bowing deep from the waist.
“I-I would be honoured!” he said in the most formal voice you had ever heard him use.
“Tenya?!” you screeched with embarrassment, “don’t make it so formal!”
“I am truly grateful for this—,”
“Stoooooopp!~” you wailed, grabbing a couch pillow and shoving it over your face, “you’re embarrassing!!”
“Please, Y/N, I implore, do not hide from me,” he said earnestly, reaching out to pull the pillow from your face.
You let him but kept an embarrassed pout on your face as you stared him down.
“Don’t make it weird,” you mumbled.
“I will be very gentle,” he said softly, pushing his glasses up onto the bridge of his nose as he straightened then smiled warmly at you- his usual close lipped smile.
“Mmhmm,” you hummed, still a little embarrassed about how this had all unfolded.
Iida sat down beside you again and you settled in to continue watching the movie but your mind was now on other things.
As the movie ended, Iida went to get up and you grabbed his shirt to stop him.
“Don’t get up,” you whispered, turning your body on the couch and pressing your upper half into him as you tucked your head against his chest and pushed him down on the lounge with your face hidden.
“Y/N?” he asked curiously, at feeling the mood shift.
“‘Mmm?” you mumbled into him, still with your face hidden as you pushed your body further up against his and slid one of your legs in between his.
He froze, face starting to go red again as you squeezed your thighs around his quads.
“Are you ok?” he asked softly.
“I just… want…” Your sentence hung in the air, open and vulnerable.
Iida gently wrapped his arms around your back and adjusted himself comfortably underneath you, raising the leg up and placing his foot flat on the couch that you were squeezing yourself against.
You hesitated a look up at his face, heart pounding in your chest. You knew what you wanted and to be honest you were a little nervous about it now that you were actively trying to get things started.
“There is no need to rush things,” Iida said softly, his gaze dropping to your lips before leaning in to kiss you lightly.
“I know,” you replied quickly, “I want this… I’m just nervous.”
Iida nodded, “that is a completely valid feeling, Y/N, and you can tell me to stop at any point.”
You relaxed instantly, overwhelmed with love for him. Your lips met his again and the passionate kissing began, getting so rough that it knocked Iida’s glasses askew on his face.
“Let’s take these off,” you said, pulling back from his lips and taking them off his face and sitting them on the table beside the couch.
Iida hugged you, pressing his forehead into the crook of your neck as he savored the closeness of your body.
“Although, Y/N, I must make sure I am properly cleaned before engaging in extra-marital affairs.”
“Noooo,” you wailed, rolling off him and onto the floor, “why did you kill the vibe like that?!”
“Allow me to shower first,” he said, hopping up.
“Bro, you’re killing me,” you wailed on the floor, rolling over face down.
Iida ignored your theatrics and got up from the lounge, stepping over you and walking hurriedly down to the bathroom.
At hearing the bathroom door close you looked up.
“He’s actually gone to shower. Oh my god, Tenya, seriously? Ok then I should get into bed and have a condom ready.”
Quickly, you got up and ran to your shared bedroom, throwing your clothes off- down to your underwear, before pulling your beside drawer open and fishing out the packet of condoms.
“This is going to be so fucking awkward,” you thought, diving under the covers then rolling over and putting the condom packet on the bedside table.
Lying there under the covers, you listened to the shower water running then it shut off.
“Oh god, he’s coming, he’s coming.”
With nervous anticipation, you scrunched yourself deeper into the bed, feeling more aroused the closer it got to Iida appearing.
Keenly aware of every sound now, you heard Iida grab the towel from the rack then counted the time it was taking for him to dry himself.
Suddenly you heard the door unlock and his heavy but soft footsteps coming down the hall.
His semi naked form darkened the doorway of the bedroom and he looked at you in the bed, water dripping from the ends of his flattened hair and falling onto his broad shoulders before sliding down over his large pecs.
Your mouth ran dry as you looked at him, heart beating rapidly.
Was that actually your heart beating???
No wait, it was lower…
It was between your legs, that was pulsing like a rave light.
“Come here,” you rasped- mouth void of moisture.
“I wasn’t expecting you to be here, Y/N, I wanted to put on a pair of—,”
“What do you need clothes for? I don’t want you in anything,” you replied, your gaze locking onto his.
Silently he walked forward to the bed and raised the sheets then slid between them, your hot bare skin making his whole form shudder with delight as his fingers found your bare stomach.
Still on your back, you shuffled closer to him as he lay on his side propped up on one arm, his other hand sliding over your stomach.
Butterflies invaded your lower abdomen and your skin quivered under his touch.
“You are in control,” he said softly, “tell me if you want me to stop.”
“No,” you replied, looking up into his eyes.
Slowly he bent his head to yours and you kissed again.
While his tongue was occupied with yours, you gently wrapped your fingers around the wrist of his hand that was on your stomach and started to drag it down between your legs, over your panties.
Iida inhaled sharply through his nostrils as his fingers touched over your pussy and you slid your hand down over the top of his to hold him there.
“Please touch me there,” you whispered against his lips.
His bright red cheeks showed of his flusteredness but he did as you asked, keeping his hand there even when you took yours away.
“Feel free to explore,” you said again before initiating another round of kisses.
Slowly his fingers twitched and touched respectfully and gently over the top of your panties and it felt amazing. No one had ever been so gentle with you before.
“Can I touch you?” you asked him.
“N-Not right now,” he said hesitantly.
“That’s ok,” you replied, “this goes both ways, don’t feel pressured. If you’re not comfortable doing this we can stop.”
“I said no because I fear that I would come undone rather quickly should you touch me there,” he admitted shyly.
“That’s fine,” you chuckled, peppering kisses along his jawline as his hand rubbed softly over your clit.
You let out a soft sigh as he worked and touched his chest, running your hand all over his torso.
“Y/N,” Iida whispered, his eyelids fluttering a little. You could feel his breathing distort with your touch and you smirked as you worked your way down to his towel line.
“Can I take this off?” you asked.
He nodded so you tugged on the top of it and pulled it loose.
After releasing the towel you reached for your own panties and pulled them down and off, much to Iida’s flustered surprise.
“You can touch me again,” you offered.
“Where can I touch?” he asked embarrassedly.
“Between my thighs,” you chuckled.
“But you are disrobed!”
“That’s the point!”
“But I will be touching your….”
“That’s the point!” you laughed, “do I have to do it for you?”
You took his hand in yours and guided it between your thighs, his hot palm pressing against your aching core.
“I’m super turned on right now, just so you know,” you said, your eyes staring deeply into his.
“I must admit to the same,” Iida said softly, his lips finding yours again as his fingers gently curled a little to touch you.
Feeling a little bolder, you arched against his hand, sliding your own hand down his torso to the rough patch of hair just above his shaft.
“Can I please touch you? Tell me if it’s too much to handle…”
Iida nodded and you slipped your hand further down and wrapped it around his cock.
“Fuck, you’re huge!”
“No, but… holy shit, can I see?” you asked.
“See?” he gasped, “why would you want to see? I don’t understand why—,”
“Yes or no,” you asked pointedly.
“Y-Yes you can see…”
Pulling the covers back, you got a good look at him… and also a good look at his hand between your thighs and you groaned with excitement.
“That looks so hot!”
“I… don’t think the visual stimulation is good for me…” Iida admitted, pre-cum dripping from his cock.
“Let me rub on you?” you asked, with a hungry sound to your voice.
“I am already very sexually aroused, Y/N,” Iida panted, “if your… vagin—,”
“NO. Pussy. Say pussy.”
“If your… pussy… were to come in contact with my pen—,”
“—cock,” you interjected.
“I doubt I would last.”
“That’s ok… we’ll deal with it when it comes to it,” you replied, half sitting up and pushing your hands into his torso to lie him back on the bed so that you could straddle him.
Now on top, you shuffled back and lifted yourself slightly then scooted back a little more and sat your pussy down on the underside of Iida’s erect cock.
The look on his face as your soft pussy lips pressed against his frenum made you grin without realizing it.
“The second hand happiness I am getting right now…” you thought.
“Y-Y/N,” he gritted out through his firmly clenched teeth, tilting his head back into the pillow as his palms pressed flat to the tops of your thighs to stop you moving.
“Tenya… I’m your first right?” you asked softly as you gently rocked back and forth along his shaft.
“I’m every aspect- yes,” he gritted out, refusing to make eye contact.
You looked down and watched the pink head of his dick disappear under you then back out again as you slid back and forth- that bulbous base of the head of his cock feeling amazing against your clit and pussy as you moved.
“Y-Y/N please stop,” he groaned.
“Tenya… what if I got you off first to relieve some of that pressure then we can try again in a few minutes or whatever?” you asked, coming to the realization that he wasn’t even going to last on entry (if you get what I mean).
“But does that not detract from the experience?” he asked as you halted your movements- although you desperately wanted to keep rocking.
“No?” you replied, tilting your head to the side, “it will be a lot nicer if you’re not stressing about going too early… let me get you off… please?”
“How do you propose we… uh…” He paused, not knowing what to say next.
“Tenya? Speechless?” you chuckled, lifting up and shuffling down his body then pushing his legs apart so that you were between them, “don’t worry, as much as I’m not proud of what I’ve done, or let people do to me in the past, I do know what I’m doing.”
You slid both your palms up his inner thighs and swiped your thumbs over his balls, watching them contract at the same time that Iida arched his back a little and rolled his head back.
“Ohh? He’s expressive. I like it.”
Running your thumps up the slick dampened underside of his cock to the tip, you then let your right hand take over and gently palmed over his head, rubbing back and forth and gathering his pre-cum, sliding it around to coat him well.
Iida writhed under you, grunts of pleasure escaping his throat as his fists balled into the bedsheets.
Just how he was reacting gave you power. You felt like the most amazing person on the planet in that moment.
“Can I taste you?” you whispered seductively.
“I am in your capable hands, Y/N,” he replied, his chest rising and falling heavily in response to what you were doing to his dick.
He still didn’t have to courage to watch you yet, as you bent your head down and ran your tongue from his balls up to his tip.
The groan that escaped his throat made the hair on the back of your neck stand on end and you looked at his legs as you pulled back- seeing goosebumps covering them from the sudden spike of pleasure.
“You liked that, huh?” you asked with a coy smirk.
“Very much so,” he strained out.
“Watch this then,” you commented, leaning down and placing your mouth over the head of his cock, then lifting it slightly so that you could encase him completely.
You used your hand around the middle of his shaft to cover more area as you slid more of him into your mouth, your grip sliding down his shaft as you swallowed him.
Up and down his shaft you bobbed slowly, twisting your hand a little as you dragged your mouth from tip to midway to tip again.
“Y-Y/N,” he moaned, one of his hands finally unclenching from the bedsheets and finding your shoulder, “I’m…”
“It’s fine,” you said, pulling off his cock to speak, “cum in my mouth.”
“So… depraved…” he keened, his panting and grunting heightening as you went back to sucking and twisting.
“It’s not depraved at all,” you chuckled internally, “how innocent are you, Tenya.”
Spurred on by his masculine sounds of pleasure, you did your best work, putting as much of him into your mouth as possible.
It didn’t take much longer for him to start giving you the warning pants and you kept going, speeding up just a little before you felt him release into your mouth.
You paused, letting him completely cum before you took him all down, then you gently pulled off and looked up at his slightly sweaty face.
“You good?” you chuckled.
“That… was….” his voice faltered.
You chuckled and sat back on your heels, really needing a release yourself at this point.
“I must clean myself,” he finally said once his mouth had started to function again.
He pulled himself up to sitting and crunched his legs up so he could get off the bed and go to the bathroom.
“Hey? Where you going?” you asked with confusion.
“I must shower again and be clean for you,” he replied, disappearing out of the bedroom door.
“Hey! No! Wait, I don’t care, come back!”
You jumped off the bed to chase him but he had already entered the bathroom and locked the door.
“Tenya!” You banged on the bathroom door. “Get out here!”
“I must clean!” he replied earnestly.
“Noooo~,” you wailed, “stop ittt!”
You heard the shower start back up again and you slumped your back against the door and let out a playfully frustrated groan as you slid down to the floor.
“Fuck it. I’ll just keep myself busy in bed until he gets back. He had better be ready because I’m gonna jump his bones,” you thought, pulling yourself up and going back to the bedroom.
As soon as you were back in the room, the bra came off and you were on your back, on the bed, hands getting busy touching just where you liked.
By the time Iida came back into the room you were so fucking pumped he could have just blown gently on your clit and you would have cum right there and then.
“You had better be ready,” you panted, taking your hands from between your thighs.
Iida had only just caught a glimpse of what you were doing before you stopped and the blush on his face showed immediately.
“Y-Y/N… I… I’m not sure if my body is quite ready for…”
“Shut up and get over here, I don’t even fucking care,” you snapped in a sexually charged voice.
Obediently he walked over and lay down next to you and you were on top in and instant, pinning him down with his arms above his head as your hip ground against his lower abdominals and the edge of the towel.
The coarse toweling was a surprisingly nice feeling as your clit rubbed against it and you arched a little more to make sure you were getting as much delicious contact as possible.
Hungrily your mouth met his, hot tongues sliding and rolling over each other’s as Iida let you do your thing.
It had been about 10 minutes since his release and he was surprised to find that his dick was starting to swell again. He wasn’t too surprised though, considering just how turned on you were and how it was making him feel things.
“I think I am ready again, Y/N,” he panted as you pulled back from the kiss to catch your breath.
“Fucking finally.” Your words were breathless as you let his wrists go and reached behind you to undo his second towel for the day.
As you flung it open you saw his perfectly sculptured cock starting to erect again and you slid back a bit to sit on it again.
“Actually, you know what?” you panted, “where’s the condom? I’m so fucking ready.”
Iida blushed at just his sure you were and reached across to the box on the bedside stand, opening it to pull out a little foil packet for you.
You took it from him and ripped the small square, taking out the condom and expertly applying it to his cock.
“Not that I’m proud of it, but I don’t need any prep or whatnot because I’ve had sex before so I’m just gonna fucking ride you like a cowgirl, ok?” you warned him, “I have been wanting your cock inside me for so long now and I’m beyond keen.”
Iida watched you speechlessly with his mouth hanging open a little but nodded his consent anyway.
You gripped his shaft gently and raised his very decently sized dick up then positioned yourself over the tip, sitting slowly down so that you could savour the entry and not freak Iida out too much.
The moan that escaped your lips came from somewhere so deep inside you that even you were surprised. It sounded that good.
“Where the fuck did that come from?! I didn’t even give it permission to sound like that!”
Iida’s face was bright red as he stared at you with erotic surprise.
“Oh,” he whispered, enamored by your very salacious noise.
Completely sheathed now, you started to rock back and forth on him.
“Oh shit,” you moaned, placing one palm down on Iida’s lower abdomen as you found your rhythm.
Iida was just along for the ride at that point and his head rolled back, eyes closing as he let the feeling overwhelm him.
It felt so good.
It felt amazing.
And you were in control, like the fucking queen you were, riding such a strong man underneath you.
“I’d love for you to fucking pound me into the bed, Tenya,” you panted atop him.
His eyes flew open and his head titled down to look at you.
“Please?” you begged, “I just want to feel small under you.”
“I do not know if I could—,”
The begging in your voice, as you rocked on him, stirred something protective in his being, striking a yearning deep inside his core.
He knew that he wanted the same thing- to be over you, pounding you into the bed as he protectively caged you with his body. And so he nodded and did a sit up, his arms encircling your back as his mouth met yours.
You stayed like that for a while, hands in hair, kissing messily while you rocked in his lap, his rigid cock still buried into your pussy.
“Ok,” you panted as you pulled back, “I want you on top.”
You gently pulled off him and moved to laying down on your back on the bed as he turned and caged you in with his arms.
“I want this so badly,” you moaned, reaching down and helping guide him back inside you then wrapped your arms back up around his back as he sank into you.
Your body arched up against his, fingertips gripping into the skin between his shoulder blades as he grunted lowly with each thrust.
In another moment his mouth was on yours, hips dragged back and forth slowly- his pelvic bone bumping your clit with each thrust into you.
“Faster,” you urged between tongue kisses.
He obliged and you arched up into him, again rocking up as he thrust into you faster.
Your panting breaths mingled together as things got hotter and hotter and you let him know you were enjoying things by your moans of delight- which he returned with carnal grunts.
“Harder,” you moaned, “Tenya, fuck me harder please!”
He did so, a little hesitantly though, as he was worried he might hurt you.
“Come on,” you cried, “just fucking pound me into the bed, I’ll let you know if it’s too much!”
Trusting that you would, Iida picked up the pace, his hips bucking into yours wildly, rocking your body and the bed as he slammed his cock into you over and over.
“Fuck yes!” you screamed, lifting your head from the pillow and pushing it into the crook of his neck as you body jolted with his forceful thrusts.
Iida had tucked his head into your neck too and his hot, laboured breathing making your skin tingle.
“Come on, yes! Faster! Faster,” you wailed, feeling your body starting to coil- ready to release, “I’m close, I’m close,” you whined.
“Same,” Iida panted out quickly.
Your eyes started to roll as the orgasm took hold and you dug your nails into him and let out a loud wail of ecstasy, every inch of your body tingling from the perfection of his thrusts.
“Oh SHIT!” you panted as you started to come down, “come on, Tenya, cum for me.”
He was a man on a mission now, his mind solely focused on getting his second release and shortly after you encouraged him to cum- he did- his body shuddering and twitching as he slammed into you one last time and released into the condom.
Unable to find the words to say, you both just lay there for a moment, panting and sweaty.
“Oh wow,” you finally say as Iida lifted then pulled himself out of you and rolled onto his back beside you before sitting up and getting up to take the condom off.
“Are you ok, Y/N, do I need to get anything for you?” he asked as he stood by the desk and cleaned himself up.
“No, I’m fine, just tired,” you admitted.
“I am just going to have a shower,” he said.
“No! Come and cuddle!” you demanded.
“I am unfit for cuddling in my current state,” he replied.
“I don’t care!” you pouted, “you’ve already had 2 showers in the past, I don’t know, like… hour?”
“I must,” he implored.
“Nooooo~,” you wailed as he disappeared out of the room for the 3rd time that day.
Iida only took a short shower to clean up but by the time he had come back into the room you were fast asleep.
He smiled tenderly and carefully slipped into the bed beside you, wrapping his arm under you and pulling your naked body into his.
“I love you,” he whispered as he kissed your still sleeping face.

Bruce Springsteen, Jerry Seinfeld, Jon Stewart and Louis C.K. will lead an all-star lineup at the 10th annual Stand Up for Heroes event, which raises funds to assist injured service members and their families. Jim Gaffigan and more guests are also slated to perform at the November 1st event at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
Springsteen has been a fixture at the annual fundraiser, appearing at every SUFH event since 2009. Last year, Springsteen raised over $740,000 auctioning his own autographed guitars. Stewart, Seinfeld and C.K. are also recurring participants in the fundraiser.
“We look forward to Stand Up for Heroes each year not only because it’s grown into New York’s biggest night of comedy and music, but because a decade of laughter has translated into a lifetime of immeasurable support for our nation’s injured heroes,” Bob Woodruff, co-founder and ABC news correspondent, said in a statement. “As we commemorate the 15th anniversary of 9/11 and the wars that have followed, it’s important not to lose sight of the fact that a small percentage of our population stood up for us—it’s now our turn to stand up for them.”
Tickets for this year’s Stand Up for Heroes go on sale September 13th at noon EST at the Bob Woodruff Foundation site as well as Ticketmaster. The show will be presented by the Bob Woodruff Foundation and the New York Comedy Festival. | <urn:uuid:7a0105a3-c710-4df1-90a2-02dbf21f6575> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/springsteen-seinfeld-jon-stewart-lead-stand-up-for-heroes-2016-lineup-112282/ | 2022-01-22T02:48:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122012907-20220122042907-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.952548 | 321 |
For many patients with concerns about the alignment and appearance of their teeth the thought of having fixed metal braces for a number of months or even years stops them from being able to achieve what they’ve always wanted – straighter teeth.
With Invisalign, our patients benefit from a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that provides slow, comfortable and almost completely invisible teeth straightening in the form of clear retainers (or aligners). They are made especially for you and are formed from an impression of your mouth – providing a perfect fit to help gradually rotate, move and straighten your teeth over time.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is not actually a brace. What most people think of when they picture braces are the traditional metal and train track style braces with wires and brackets that have been used in dentistry now for decades.
Invisalign does not attach to the teeth the way fixed braces do but instead comes in the form of clear, custom made aligners which fit over your teeth in the similar way that a thin mouth guard would. These aligners are swapped every 1 – 2 weeks for the ‘next stage’ in the set and work to gently and gradually move the teeth into their new position.
What Does the Invisalign Process Involve?
At your initial consultation our expert orthodontists will take impressions of your teeth to get a clear idea of what can be achieved and help you decide on the best teeth straightening option for you.
If you are a suitable candidate for Invisalign then we will create a bespoke treatment plan for you and advise you on the price, timeframes and instructions of how to get the best results from your Invisalign treatment.
Once your trays are created you will wear them in the order stated – changing them for the next set every 1 – 2 weeks. They are made of a thin, clear, strong, non-toxic plastic that is medical grade and designed to fit comfortably over your teeth with minimal fuss or discomfort. The aligners are tailor made for your teeth and your teeth alone and each new tray is designed to slowly move your teeth over time.
Throughout the treatment you will require occasional check-ups with us to help monitor and track your progress and ensure that the treatment is working as it should be and that you are happy with everything. These appointments might involve adding attachments to your teeth and interproximal reduction or stripping to slenderise the teeth.
The length of treatment will depend on the individual patient, their teeth and how consistently they wear their retainers. On average Invisalign treatment usually take between 6 and 14 months.
The Advantages of Invisalign
Invisalign is an extremely popular method of treatment for patients wanting a subtle and practical solution for straightening their teeth. Not only does this method allow patients to work, eat, play and go about their lives as normal but offers a number of additional benefits too.
- Discreet – Invisalign aligners are so appealing because they are practically invisible so you can achieve a straighter, beautiful smile without having to worry about how they look.
- Removable – Unlike fixed braces Invisalign are extremely easy to take out and put back in. They can be removed easily to eat and drink with minimal fuss.
- Dental Hygiene – The wires, bands and brackets on traditional braces can make keeping your teeth clean extremely difficult. With Invisalign, simply remove your retainer and floss and brush as normal!
- Comfortable – Although there can be tenderness and minor discomfort at the start of each new tray as your teeth adjust to the aligner, most patients find Invisalign to be a comfortable and nearly painless treatment.
- Better for Your Teeth – Because of the way Invisalign treatment works it significantly reduces the risk of things like root resorption which can be caused when moving the teeth. It also eliminates the potential for damage to the enamel that can be caused by the adhesive that bonds the brackets to the teeth with metal braces.
- Music and Sports – Patients who enjoy music or sports as part of their lifestyle will be pleased to know that Invisalign offers much more flexibility, whether it means being able to take them out or keep them in.
- Enjoy the Results – Because Invisalign is a clear treatment there is no need to wait for the ‘final day’ to see your results. You can enjoy your improved teeth alignment throughout the whole process as they gradually move into place.
Am I a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign can be used to treat a variety of orthodontic problems from misalignment and overcrowding to underbites, overbites and crossbites.
Invisalign is suitable for patients of almost all ages and works very well for older teenagers and adults. However, children and young teenagers are unlikely to be good candidates because their teeth and jaws are still growing and will most likely need to wait until they are older.
You must be dedicated to straightening your teeth. The aligners need to be worn consistently for a minimum of 22 hours a day in order for treatment to be effective and for your teeth to move at the rate you’d expect.
If you suffer from complex dental issues such as gum disease, then Invisalign may still be possible but you could require additional treatments prior to beginning the straightening process. If Invisalign isn’t right for you then we will help to come up with an alternative solution that will get you the results you want in a safe and comfortable way that is best for your dental health.

Legend says that a native medicine man healed his chief miraculously using natural sulfur spring waters said to have been located across from the City Hall in Kolb Park. Settlers who saw the Indians going to the spring encircled by rocks would say, "They are on the way to the rocks."
Home listings in Florida are cheaper than 24 other states, the cost of living index is below the national average, there is no state income tax, the real estate taxes paid for your home average only .97 percent, which is far lower than the nearly 2 percent rates in other states. All those factors make it easier and more exciting and budget-conscious to buy a home.
From May 1 through October 31, female turtles come on shore in the dark to the beaches where they were born perhaps decades before, dig a hole with the use of their flippers, and then lay 100 to 150 eggs at one time in three to eight nests. After a gestation period of 45 to 70 days, hatchlings emerge at night and follow the moonlight coming off the Gulf to cross over the beaches to the water.
The baby turtles can become disoriented from bright lights and illuminated objects, so surrounding homes and accommodations must make a point of dimming those lights at such times. Obstacles such as sand castles and sand pits that the baby hatchlings must cross on their way to the shoreline must also be removed.
Take a walk on a boardwalk path on a peaceful and clean white sand beach with calm waters. Children like stopping at a unique playground with a full set of park exercise equipment. If you want to bring your dog along, there is a fenced area for it to run and play. The best part might be stopping at Kooky Coconut afterwards for ice cream!
This unspoiled park is located on Bay Palm Boulevard between 15th Avenue and 16th Avenues. You can feed fish and view owls, various birds, turtles, and other wildlife. There are tennis courts, a basketball court, a little league baseball/softball field, a racquetball area, and a skate -park. Two shaded playgrounds have swings and a merry-go-round, and there are picnic areas. Watch for notices of many local festivals that occur there including the IRB Oktoberfest.

I have a friend whose favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. She hosts a feast for family and friends, and cooks the meat; guests provide everything else. Her response to the classic “What can I bring?” is “Whatever says Thanksgiving to you.” One of these years, I hope to get there. When I do, I’ll make succotash.
At its simplest, succotash stars corn and lima beans, with butter, salt and pepper in supporting roles. There are fancier versions, too, but whatever the recipe, it appears that succotash joins fruitcake in the category “holiday-related foods that people either like or despise.” Are the limas the villain?
I have always eaten succotash, but I’ve never been crazy about limas. It was probably the name that first appealed. We eat first with our eyes, it’s often said. We also feel the texture of food first as a word in our mouths.
Succotash. It’s a fun word to say, the hard quick K sound at the turn in the first two syllables, where the tongue does most of the work; the long aashhhh at the end of the third, where the jaw drops and returns a little, the mouth opens wide and then narrows in a forward motion, as if it’s closing around a forkful of something good.
I was probably also intrigued by its American Indian origins, and fancifully imagined Indians bringing succotash to the first Thanksgiving, in wooden serving bowls they carved from the leftovers of their hollowed-log canoes. In fact, succotash probably wasn’t on the menu at the first Thanksgiving. But Algonquin Indians did give us the word. According to etymology sources, it made its way into English around 1750 from the Narragansett word msickquatash, meaning “boiled whole kernels of corn.”
In The Victory Garden Cookbook, however, Marian Morash says, “The original succotash, developed by early colonists, was a hearty chicken and corned beef stew containing potatoes, turnips, and whatever dried or fresh corn and beans were available.” Her recipe calls for those five essential ingredients, plus bacon or salt pork.
If I can’t be sure about the dish’s history, I can hold onto certainty about what limas have going for them beyond taste. They’re good sources of fiber, protein, and assorted vitamins and minerals; they help in lowering cholesterol.
In an informal, statistically insignificant “What do you think of succotash?” poll I conducted on social media, many respondents quoted Daffy Duck’s exclamation “Sufferin’ succotash” in documenting their own suffering, being forced to eat succotash as children. But might it be the succotash that suffers, sitting there overlooked on the table, like the kid who dreads getting chosen last for the dodgeball team — every bit as athletic as some of the others, but nowhere near as popular.
Succotash makes a cameo appearance in the poem “The Veggie Life, ” in which Michael Steffen considers the etymology of the word “vegetable, ” the genealogy of potatoes, and the suffering of another green vegetable.
The Veggie Life
Cabbages, beans and bell peppers vie
for the glossy centerfold of Nature’s Hand
where this month the vulgar Hubbard squash
reclines with succotash of questionable origin.
I’ve grown to prize passivity; I’ve learned the word
“vegetable” comes from Medieval Latin—
vegetabilis, and vegetare which means “to animate, to grow, ”
though I can think of half a dozen ways to squander
an afternoon as Destry Rides Again, Dietrich and Stewart…
and my doctor friend Lenny who calls to tell me
that broccoli has a nervous system, that it suffers
when you pick it. If form follows function,
it stands to reason that pain is the fate of all “brainy” things—
cauliflower, coral and raspberry clumps, the florets that sizzle
in my spiced tahini. I’ve heard potatoes
described as “thuggy and plotless, ” but never “aristocratic”
as it says on page seven’s “The Stately Spud, ”
where tubers possess an enviable pedigree,
popular back to 4000 b.c. when Incas made urns
in the shape of russets—
long reds, round reds and Yukon Golds,
best for sautéing, excellent in frittatas.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m all for ambition,
but some days I’d rather steep in my own kettle.
Give me chamomile, cowboys, cornelian cherries.
Let me sink, once again, into purposeless sleep.
— Michael Steffen
How to Make Succotash
1 bag frozen (not canned) sweet corn plus the remains of that partial bag in the back of the freezer
1 bag frozen (not canned) baby (not Fordhook) lima beans
2 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper to taste
Put corn, limas and butter in a saucepan with not quite enough water to cover everything.
Heat to boiling, then lower heat, add a little salt and pepper, and simmer for a while, stirring periodically.
Serve, if possible, in a bowl handed down through the family.
half an onion
an equal proportion of roasted red pepper
a Roma tomato or another small tomato, or, if you’re patient with chopping, an equivalent volume of cherry or grape tomatoes
Chop the onion, pepper and tomato. Saute in olive oil. Add succotash. Stir until sizzling hot.

Oh wow, I am so excited to get to introduce you to George, my contribution to the Bag of the Month Club for April 2020!!! I am still a little in shock that I am releasing a Bag of the Month Club pattern as I've always been a fan of the club and the designers that release for the club. I've tested for a lot of the designers and feel it's such an honor to finally be one of them!
So now let me introduce you to George! George Carry-all is a large traveler bag, whereas George Handbag is a great day-to-day purse. George is only available to members of the Bag of the Month Club, which you can still purchase until the end of April 2020! So if you're not a member, pop over and get registered at Bag of the Month Club!!! If it's after April and you're reading this, then you may need to wait a few months before this pattern is released publicly, but it will come out!
Join the Bag of the Month Club Facebook Group to join in the fun of making this pattern and to see all the different member's bags! Then join my Facebook Group to interact with the testers and myself after the end of the club - Sewing UhOh Creations Patterns.
The George Carry-All is a fully structured bag with many features! The pattern includes two sizes, the Carry-all size for traveling or the Handbag size for a day out shopping. It has large front and back pockets that close with magnetic snaps, and some curvy overlays to dress it up. The shape of this bag allows it to fit comfortably against the body and the handles make it easy to carry in the crook of your elbow, regardless of which size. Inside you will find two zipper pockets and a divided slip pocket, and a super snug lining that is sewn into all the edges for a clean finish. George is designed to be made from quilting cotton, however, there are tips to doing some cork or vinyl accents with raw edges throughout the design.
Change up your George by swapping out the strap anchors for some dress hardware, or modify the pockets on the outside. Alternatively, simplify George by removing the exterior pockets and overlays for a clean front and back.
The pattern for the George Carry-all includes diagrams for every single step, making things clear as you move through the design and pattern pieces for all the curved pieces in both sizes. Then Isabella Sparsh did up a YouTube video so that you can sew along with her, note that there are some modifications in the video so watch carefully!
The Tester Photos
There are some awesome testers of George, I don't think I could ever pick a favorite, so let us get straight to it!!!
Cindy of Sweet Tea & Stitches did up this super fun and vibrant version!!! I love the color combination she came up with!
Cheryl of Cheryl's Quilts and Crafts was inspired to use her Nightmare Before Christmas fabric as it goes so perfectly with the shape of the top of the George bag. I love the purples and the amazing fussy cutting!!!
Abbe of Just an E (find her on IG) used some awesome and edgy Alexander Henry fabrics for this seaman version of George, this one was supposed to take a sea voyage, but with the craziness in the world right now, it's taking its own break for the meantime.
Natell of Tanglewebb Design Studio (FB and IG) did up this incredibly classy version of George Handbag - she modified some of the stabilizers so found it easier to bind the inside - it's a GREAT option if you have challenges turning bags. And she used those awesome Diamond Strap Anchors and added purse feet to this beauty!
Tara of Mooi used a mixture of fabrics from the same line, accented the front with buttons (LOVE that idea) and then used waxed canvas - it looks so fantastic!!! This Carry-all is ready for an all ladies weekend away!
Gwen of GML Designs went all out and did her handbag up in all leather, then has this sweet print for the interior! I love how classy but fun it is!!! And look at her dressing up those straps with rivets and fancy strap connectors!
Mae of Isabella Sparsh (IG here) is my video gal! She not only did up this awesome version of George, but she also did up a YouTube sew-a-long video where she slightly modified the pockets and added on the shoulder pad from the John Duffel Bag!
Line of Fine Line Designs was one of my pre-testers of the Carry-all version and she did such a fantastic job! Then she braved the weather for a couple of photos so you can all see how big this baby really is! Love how she used the Easy Connectors on this one!!!
Michelle also did a pre-test for me where she made the Carry-all and then couldn't resist doing up the handbag - and check out Buddy, she decided that this was her new bag - I love her peeking out of the bag!
Tracy of Purple KATZ Quilting always has the newest fabrics, in fact, she used a fat quarter bundle that she had from Houston Quilt Market of these fabrics from Ruby Star Society! A fat quarter bundle to make the whole Carry-all - I love it!! Then she used the Easy Connectors for her handles. She just recently received the yardage shipment of these fabrics, so contact her to get a kit put together, she loves helping you choose all the pieces!
And last but not least, Sue Reed of Dreamscape Studio just finished up her version in this fantastic cordura print! I love that she always has her logo embroidered on every bag.... that's it in the bottom right corner, dressing up that white accent. Just love it!
Wow!!! I'm still so impressed with all the beauties my testers came up with, it's incredible to me! And an extra image of the cover bags for you so that you can see the size difference between the Carry-all and the Handbag: | <urn:uuid:5f984da2-574f-4286-9a1f-79d2f860c21d> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.uhohcreations.com/blogs/news/bag-of-the-month-club-april-2020-george-pattern-release | 2022-01-22T01:59:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303729.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122012907-20220122042907-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.950015 | 1,275 |
Karen and I had just boarded our flight last week, ahead of schedule on what would be a perfect travel day (everything on schedule, and a total of 8 hours from when we entered the airport to when we put our luggage on the floor in her parents’ home). As we were preparing to taxi out, just before the magical cut-off point when mobile phone use must be abandoned for the duration of your trek through the clouds, a woman across the aisle was ending a call by exclaiming how tiny an airport this was. She was using the tone of voice that indicates you’re embarrassed by how un-trendy the thing is that you’re being forced to endure.
Let me set the stage: Our city has a regional airport, not a large hub. We chose to fly into another regional airport at the other end of the trip. A bit more expensive, but worthwhile in what it saved in time. At the end our week-long Christmas excursion, we entered the other airport on Tuesday, and Karen remarked after how pleasant and talkative the security screeners were with her. We got to our gate early, and listened to the airline staff joke and laugh loudly with each other and the passengers waiting to board. At one point, as we were standing and preparing for our zone to board, one staff member came back up the tunnel from the aircraft laughing so abruptly and loudly that it startled me for a moment. Given the ludicrous level of tension in most airports, I expected some uniformed law enforcement officer to appear from nowhere and drag someone off in handcuffs. But, it was humor only that was at work, and the joking continued with the passengers as we boarded the flight, one ticket agent complaining with a huge grin about how her co-worker picked on her.
After rushing to catch some connecting flights, we arrived home that evening. The total time we spent walking from the terminal to the baggage claim was about three minutes. Everything was relaxed, leading Karen to remark on how much nicer traveling is when you leave from small airports instead of large ones. The security screeners were polite and thorough, but not tense, and not showing the assumption that everyone entering the airport was a criminal. They even joked a couple of times on one end of the trip. There was no pushing and shoving and fighting through lines to get to your terminal in time. We did not have to endure security theatre. Two passengers were talking across the seating area to each other, and no one really cared.
Perhaps everyone was being kind with each other because it was Christmas. In fact, I’m certain that played into things somehow. Beyond that, however, I think we witnessed what is true with any business or enterprise: the larger the business becomes, the more likely everyone is to be treated as a cog in the machine instead of as a human being. Personability is sacrificed in the name of efficiency and uniformity and all those other nasty things that rob us of basic human dignity. Beyond a certain size, the process becomes more important than the person.
Sort of flies in the face of the assumptions of our modern industrial age, doesn’t it?
Hopefully, in managing my time and my lifestyle in the new year, I’ll remember that bigger isn’t necessarily better…contrary to the popular Western mythos.
Here’s to 2011!

Expat Life in Kyiv – January 2018
January in the UK may be the end of the Christmas and New Year holidays, but in Ukraine, they have barely begun. New Year’s Eve starts the festive celebrations, meaning that the Christmas decorations and markets only started just before we went home for the holidays.
Christmas Day in Ukraine is on the 7th January, and their traditional New Year is on 14th. This is because the Orthodox church follows the Julian calendar, rather than the Gregorian calendar. The Gregorian calendar was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII because the Julian calendar had mismeasured a calendar year, and it was actually too short by about 11 minutes. This might not seem an issue, but over time it started to mean that the seasons were in the wrong places. While the country uses the Gregorian calendar now, the Orthodox church in Ukraine continues to use the Julian calendar, hence the different times of Christmas and New Year.
A week in Morocco
The extended Christmas holidays meant we had an extra week’s holiday after enjoying Christmas at home with our families. Somewhere a bit warmer than Kyiv called, and we headed to Marrakesh in Morocco for a few days there exploring the beautiful buildings and fascinating souks and markets and eating great food, and then a couple of days by the sea in Essaouira.
Our first visitor to Kyiv
January brought our first visitor to Kyiv. Kris’ sister Sharon flew out for the weekend to see us and to see Kyiv and Ukraine for the first time.
It’s more beautiful than I imagined
was her evaluation. Which is a good one I think.
While there are some very good free walking tours of Kyiv, we didn’t get up early enough for that, so we designed our own walking tour of Kyiv. Ours took in many of the sights: Golden Gate, three cathedrals, Andryivksyy Descent, some art galleries, museums and parks and also included some fantastic food. I’ll write our tour into a blog for you to do yourselves later.
Revolutionary Restaurant – Last Barricade, Kyiv
We also used the visit as an opportunity to try another of the funky restaurants that Kyiv has many of: Last Barricade – or Ostannya Barykada in Ukrainian. Part of the group of restaurants owned by chef Dima Borisov, which also includes Kanape where we went on my birthday, the restaurant gets its name because it is built around one of the original gates of Kyiv.
Last Barricade restaurant has a speakeasy idea, as it’s ‘hidden’ underneath the main square at Maidan. To enter it, you need to enter the lift inside Globus Shopping Centre, and press the button cryptically marked ‘OB’. The lift doors open onto what looks like gift shop, selling all kinds of Ukrainian products. At the desk, you are asked for a password. The password is BORITESYA E POBORYTE, meaning ‘Keep on fighting and you will win’ or something along those lines, coming from a poem by famous Ukrainian Taras Shevchenko, who you can read about in our recent Metro Monday post – Universitet Metro Station.
Giving the password means that a ‘secret’ door appears in the wall, which you go through into the restaurant beyond.
The choice of password is linked to the revolutionary theme of the restaurant, not surprising given its location under Maidan, the scene of the 2014 protests and revolution. Entering the restaurant, you are faced with a wall of metal hands, signifying Ukraine’s struggle for independence. Inside, the restaurant has displays of belongings from various revolutionary fighters and photos of protests.
On entering, as it was our first visit, we were offered a tour of the restaurant, which included seeing the remains of the ancient Kyiv walls, and travelling along the bar on moving chairs, which was fun.
Last Barricade prides itself in serving 100% Ukrainian food and drink.It has, apparently, so far the only 100% Ukrainian bar in the world. All the wine, spirits and beers are local, as is all the food. Kris’ sister, Sharon, decided to try the nettle beer that we’d had in Kanape on my birthday and was suitably impressed. Kris and I had the house beer, both dark and light, which was also good. They also offer bottles from various craft breweries around the country, including Pravda and Varvar. After the food, we decided to try some of the local tinctures (spirits): Rhubarb and ginger, chocolate, cherry and chilli pepper, galanga and horseradish. Yes, horseradish spirit. It tasted like you’d imagine.
As with many Dima Borisov restaurants, the food is served in an interesting style. We order forschmack, which is a local fish pate, and was served in ice cream cones. A friend from the UK’s dad, who was also with us, spotted coypu on the menu and thought it was a good opportunity to try this river rat. I wouldn’t recommend it. I guess it’s quite cold in rivers in Ukraine, and it was very fatty. We introduced our guests to salo, the Ukrainian speciality, which is actually pork fat. We also added a baked cheese. Last Barricade has a huge local cheese selection to choose from. All of this was served with a big basket of dark and light Ukrainian breads.
If we consider it by Ukrainian prices, Last Barricade is relatively expensive, but by UK standards, and considering the food quality, the interesting decor and the great service (the waiter patiently tried to teach Sharon Ukrainian during the meal) it was cheap. We paid about 500 grivnas each for the meal. It’s currently about 38 grivnas to the pound, so do that works out at under £20 a head, including drinks.
January’s Metro Monday was Universitet metro station, next to Taras Shevchenko University. It’s beautifully decorated with busts of famous Ukrainian scientists and writers. You can read more about them, and see the photos, in the blog: Universitet: Home of writers and scientists.
What Kate and Kris Ate
We shouldn’t talk about Ukrainian food without mentioning salo. Salo is basically pork fat and a proper delicacy. It is often served with black bread and vodka, but can also be cooked and added to borsch or crispy on vareniki. It sounds so unhealthy, but Ukrainians swear by its health-giving properties if you just eat a little, and honestly, it’s not like there is a huge obesity issue in this country. I’d imagine it keeps you warm in the winter.
Where Kate and Kris Drank
Speaking of salo, it can also be an accompaniment to beer. Craft beer has taken off in Kyiv, as it has all over the world. There are lots of craft beer breweries and taphouses opening all over the city. You might remember that back in our September blog, we talked about Pilsner on Pushkinskaya Street. It sells Tsypa beer, a craft beer from the Carpathian region of Ukraine. This brewery now has several pubs around Kyiv. The other Saturday we tried out Tsypa Taphouse on Yaroslaviv Val, near Golden Gate.
Tsypa Taphouse serves most of the Tsypa beers, as well as other Ukrainian and international craft beers, such as Angry Hound, Varvar, and First Dnipro. Alongside, it has a whole menu page devoted to different types of salo.
Blogs we published in January
Our first post of January was our Year in Review, with all the things we got up to in 2017, including living and travelling in Thailand, seeing Komodo dragons in Indonesia, exploring Myanmar and then moving to Kyiv.
After 18 months living in Bangkok, we put together our cost of living, which we thought might be helpful for anyone planning to move there, which has been quite popular on the teaching in Thailand groups on Facebook: Cost of Living – Bangkok.
We published a guest post on Teaching English in Taiwan, with lot of useful information for people thinking of trying it out.
Blogs we appeared in in January
Siddharth and Shruti have been publishing collaborations of people’s experiences doing food tours around the world. When we were in Yangon, Myanmar, back in July, we did a fantastic tour with Yangon Food Tours, which we wrote about for one of their posts: Food Tours Around the World. We’ve been writing our own blogs on Myanmar recently, so we’ll talk more about it on this blog soon.
Why not pin it to share with others?

Try a Mortgage Broker
Struggling to get a mortgage as a crunch hits first-time buyers and banks say they are rushed off their feet?
Reading time: 15 mins
It’s mayhem in the mortgage market at the moment due to a paperwork backlog at banks and pent-up demand from the lockdown.
Lenders are making changes to their home loan deals with little or no notice to limit the amount of business they take on.
So that cheap rate you were eyeing up could quite easily be gone tomorrow. Or the terms and conditions may change suddenly, meaning you no longer qualify for a loan you thought had been secured.
Here are four other places to turn if you are caught up in the chaos…
Lloyds, NatWest, Barclays, Santander, TSB and most recently HSBC have all pulled out of the market for mortgages with a deposit of 10 per cent or less, hammering first-time buyers.
The good news is that smaller regional building societies may be able to help.
BANK OF MUM AND DAD
Popular mortgage deals that allow parents to help their offspring on to the ladder are being cut back too.
But the Bank of Mum and Dad isn’t entirely closed.
After Lloyds shut its Lend a Hand mortgage to new applicants, the main mortgage designed for parental help is Barclays’ Family Springboard deal. This allows a family member or friend to put at least 10 per cent of the purchase price in a savings account with the bank in place of a deposit.
But some are limiting the amount of outside help allowed. Nationwide recently changed the criteria for gifted deposits, so borrowers who want a 90 per cent loan-to-value mortgage can only be given 25 per cent of the deposit, meaning they have to provide the rest themselves.
TRY A LIFETIME MORTGAGE
For the over-55s who are retired or approaching retirement, an alternative option is a so-called retirement interest-only mortgage. With these deals, the eventual sale of the property can be used as the repayment strategy.
Lenders assess whether you can afford the loan on the cost of paying the interest only in retirement, as opposed to a repayment deal where you have to pay back some of the capital each month.
The downside is that if it’s a joint application, lenders have to decide whether, after one partner dies, the surviving partner would be able to support the mortgage from the remaining income.
This is a major decision and one that shouldn’t be taken likely and it is essential that if you’re considering this, you should obtain independent financial advice.
…OR LET THE CHAOS PLAY OUT
Mortgage rates are expected to remain at current levels for some time – but house prices may not.
Many experts believe that while prices are heading up at the moment, there could be a fall back when the stamp duty holiday ends in March next year.
Remember, if you are buying and selling at the same time, then a fall in the market is likely to impact both ends of the deal.
So you may be no worse off if you wait – and find it easier to borrow the amount you need for your next mortgage.
A MORTGAGE ADVISER ON YOUR SIDE
With banks launching and ditching mortgage deals on an almost daily basis, a mortgage adviser can really prove their worth.
Not only do they often get tipped off in advance when a deal is about to be pulled, they are clued up on the specific criteria that each lender will look for in your mortgage application – and can stop you wasting time. Advisers will also have a good idea how stretched a bank’s mortgage department will be, helping you avoid disappointment when demand is high.
USING AN ADVISER CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE
Our aim is to find you the mortgage that is most suitable to your needs, circumstances, and preferences. Buying or re-mortgaging a property can be a huge decision. It is essential that you receive the most appropriate advice from start to finish.
At Markland Hill Wealth we are independent which means we’re not tied to a limited panel of lenders and have access to the ‘whole of the market’ to get you the most appropriate mortgage product for your circumstances.
As well as having access to all the High Street Lenders, we also have access to Broker exclusives with the High Street Banks and Specialist Lenders that you cannot access directly.
For an initial free, no obligation consultation, contact the team through www.marklandhill.com with the subject ‘Mortgage’ and we will get in touch with you in the near future to search the whole market to find a mortgage that best matches your needs and your budget.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your loan.

History of Camp John Hay
By Jun Ventura
PHILSTAR.COM Publish Date: [Saturday, April 13, 2002]
Baguio used to be a native Ibaloi hamlet called "kafagway" which means "a wide open space." The name later became "Baguio," which comes from the abundant moss called "bagiw."
The Americans only accidentally discovered Baguio while in pursuit of Filipino revolutionaries in November 1899. With an average temperature of 20 centigrade (the lowest recorded temperature is 6.3 centigrade on January 18, 1961), the American colonizers found the perfect place for their troops to escape the tropical heat and in the process save money (they would have otherwise sent them back to the mainland).
With its March weather almost like San Francisco, Baguio became the Americans summer capital and Camp John Hay became their rest and recreation base. By the way, the camp was named after a US Secretary of State, John Milton Hay, who is credited for negotiating the construction of the Panama Canal.
In the Second World War, this peaceful vacation camp was ironically the first to be bombed by the Japanese. Fittingly, the surrender of all Japanese forces by General Yamashita, known as the "Tiger of Malaya," was held inside Camp John Hay.
After the Americans left, the Filipinos took control and in a public bidding in September 1996, the Fil-Estate group won the rights to develop this vast 300-hectare camp.
People may gripe over the American presence in the Philippines, but you have to hand it to them for leaving Camp John Hay in a very beautiful condition. It is, in fact, the only place where thick pine forests stand. Fortunately Fil-Estates Bob Sobrepeña understands his companys responsibility. For every pine tree that they have to cut, Fil-Estate plants 100 new pine trees (exceeding what the government requires). Practically 90 percent or 272 hectares of its 300 hectares will have no buildings or structures.
The Camp John Hay Manor
The newly built manor is located at the old main clubhouse. Perched dramatically on a hilltop, the hotel was designed by architect Ruben Payumo along the lines of a classic European manor.
Using Canadian fir logs and framed by towering pine trees, the manor has a rustic ambience and presents a charming sight. Perhaps Fil-Estate really means what it said about balancing development with preservation because the manor has left the old Friendship Garden not only intact but actually made it a centerpiece; both wings of the manor overlook this historical garden.
One of the handful four-star lodging places in Baguio, the manor couldnt have opened at a perfect time. The only place that comes close is the Baguio Country Club, which requires a members endorsement.
A studio room at the manor goes for only P2,500. When it comes to service, there are some old familiar faces around. One is the general manager himself, Heiner Maulbecker, who used to be the GM of the Hyatt Terraces Hotel, which collapsed in the 1990 earthquake. Heiners wife Daisy died in the tragic earthquake, and every now and then Heiner helps organize get-togethers with his old Hyatt employees and their families. Heiners sidekick in running the manor is also an old Hyatt hand, Noli Reyes, now the manors resident manager.
The manors interiors were designed by the international firm Steven Leach. Knick-knacks, artworks and photographs from the mountain region are used here, and you will also come across wooden pieces and hand-woven tapestries by Nardas. If you suddenly want to go fine dining, dont panic. Billy Kings Le Soufflé restaurant is here, offering not only terrific food but wonderful views of the Friendship Garden as well.
A Camp For Everyone
If you have got the money, buying a long-term lease (44 years) on any of the properties offered here from a log cabin to a time-sharing condotel will eventually turn out to be a wise investment. You see, Fil-Estate cannot build more than it is allowed by the Philippine government even if there is a demand. So when supply runs out, your lease naturally appreciates. But whats great about having a home here is the fact that you are inside Camp John Hay with all its pine trees, historical sites, well-paved roads, clean surroundings and professional security and fire-protection teams. You get space, pine trees, clean air and a true feeling of security.
But if you havent got enough money, Camp John Hay is open to the public to enjoy. Go ahead and enjoy this preserved camps picnic grounds, mini-golf course, ball field for softball, baseball and soccer, skating and bicycle rinks, and a childrens playground. Its newest attractions are the pony and a nature trail (located near the old entrance). To satify the stomach, theres the chocolate Batirol (on Scout Hill), or Country Waffles (near the entrance of the golf clubhouse). In the former administrative building, theres the Mile Hi Center (right at the foot of the manor) where you have Dencios, a Nike shop, a duty free commissary, Angles billiards bar, Little Johns convenience store, Carlos pizza and sundry shops.
If the plans of Fil-Estate really push through, quite soon there will be a modern convention center, a mall, covered walkways, and small villages where people can actually see and observe how the natives go about their lives and learn about their music, art and the other facets of their cultures and traditions. Will it all come true? I suspect that Bob Sobrepeña and his partners, Toti Carino and Ferdie Santos, would like nothing more than to make Camp John Hay their proud legacy.
If you play golf, it is a sin not to play here. Contrary to what Mark Twain said about this game, your walk wont be spoiled. Let me put it this way: Where else in the Philippines can you play in such beautiful cool weather with a course that goes up and down, surrounded by pine tress and greens, bordered by a profusion of flowers that can only grow in Baguios cool climate?

Immigration ruling an opportunity for Democrats. Jeffersonians and Hamiltonians still arguing. And in politics, things are worse than they look.
Mitt Romney says Arizona’s discredited immigration restriction was model legislation. But now that the Supreme Court thinks otherwise, what is Romney’s backup plan? Nothing, says Congressman Raul Grijalva. He says the Supreme Court decision gives Democrats an opportunity to force Republicans into truly bipartisan moves to reform federal immigration policy.
Historian Michael Lind goes back into American history and explains how Americans contradict themselves. The political fault line is not really liberal versus conservative but Jeffersonian versus Hamiltonian. He says Americans are Jeffersonian in belief but Hamiltonian in practice.
Bill Press talks with political scientist Norm Ornstein about the historic level of vitriol and lying – mostly by Republicans – that is now paralyzing national problem-solving. | <urn:uuid:0502136e-d2ae-4111-8f8c-a5f350e6b0dd> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://www.americasdemocrats.org/2012/07/01/addo74/ | 2022-01-23T11:45:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304261.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123111431-20220123141431-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.925158 | 192 |
By Stephanie Smith-Strickland
From taking a seat at the proverbial table to the pop-culture phenom that was Hot Girl Summer, a new generation of women in hip-hop are exploring what it means to exist with joy and truth in a world that has historically attempted to dictate the parameters of their freedom. Whether they're performers like Kelela, who flawlessly experiment with left-of-center soundscapes, or those who engage in radical modes of performance that center body positivity, self-love and autonomy like CupcakKe, Lizzo, and Megan Thee Stallion, women are redefining their place in a music industry that has often been characterized as a boys’ club.
Not only are they taking up space, they’re earning more than ever before while also defining popular culture. This June, Forbes named Rihanna — who has built an incomparable fashion, beauty, and lifestyle empire — the wealthiest female musician in the world; her estimated net worth is $600 million. The fashion powerhouse also sparked an industry-wide move toward inclusivity with the launch of Fenty Beauty, when she intentionally considered the deeper skin tones heritage beauty brands consistently ignored.
But women have always been present and instrumental in bringing hip-hop to a global stage, often offering perspectives and experiences their male counterparts had never been challenged to consider. Pioneers like Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Salt-N-Pepa, and many, many more helped pave the way for au courant names like Cardi B and City Girls to collect their accolades. Despite a generational gap, a haunting dissonance remains between the experiences of women artists and their male counterparts.
Pay inequity, labor inequality, and imbalanced opportunities still plague the music industry. A study conducted by the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative revealed that over 40 percent of women working in music felt their skills were discounted by their male colleagues, while 39 percent had experienced stereotyping or sexualization in some form. The numbers are pretty abysmal where opportunities in creative roles are concerned, too. Of the 700 popular songs released between 2012 and 2018 the study profiled, only 21.7 percent were credited to women, 12.3 percent of the songwriters were women, and only 2.1 percent of women were producers.
So what does it truly mean to center women and to cultivate infrastructures that encourage equality across the board? MTV caught up with six women musicians at Red Bull Music Festival Atlanta last month to hear their thoughts.
Who she is: Singer/songwriter and founder of Not My First Rodeo event production
Who inspires her: "Amber Grimes is a huge inspiration to me. She is someone who always passionately advocated to put women in positions of power. Fadia Kader is another person I really admire because she’s so open on social media about her journey. Watching her go from doing the Broke & Boujee parties in Atlanta to being at Instagram in Los Angeles just makes me such a fan of her resilience. When I first got to Atlanta, Bosco was a big inspiration to me because she really opened her arms to me and brought me into the community. She’s so multifaceted and such a well-rounded artist so it’s been such a joy to watch her get her creative agency, SLUG, off the ground."
How she creates space for other women: "My event series Not My First Rodeo celebrates women in culture and art. Our entire ethos is to make sure that we’re creating a safe space, not just for women, but for anyone to feel comfortable and free. I’ve gotten so many messages from women telling me how safe they felt being themselves there, and that feels really good. When I’m on the mic I always make sure to reiterate verbal consent and tell everyone attending they need to ask permission to dance on someone or to touch them."
How the music industry can better protect women artists: "I think it comes down to accountability. Men have to hold other men accountable and the culture has to stop brushing things under the carpet. When there’s celebrity or visibility involved I think sometimes people are afraid to hold people accountable and set a standard that makes sure we all feel protected."
Who inspires her: "Growing up, I didn’t have too much access to the internet. When I was able to explore music on my own I was listening to Lil' Kim, Foxy Brown, and Trina, and thinking to myself, I wish that I could feel that free. I didn’t feel like I could because it wasn’t something that was accepted yet. Every time you were hearing about these women there was something negative attached to it, or you’d have your parents or your grandparents telling you that you couldn’t watch them because it was inappropriate. There really wasn’t anything inappropriate, it was just a woman expressing herself in the way she wanted. I don’t believe in projecting my values and ideas onto anyone else. I want everyone to be able to choose what they want for themselves without having to feel negative repercussions for being who they want to be."
What a woman-led future looks like to her: "I think that right now there’s a super big spotlight on women. There’s this younger generation of women who feel a lot more uninhibited by societal rules that were programmed into the older generation. I think that’s helping, especially with so much access to the Internet. I was one of those girls who, growing up, didn’t necessarily see that type of representation I see now, so I didn’t know it existed. This new generation has a lot more role models, and I think they are what our future looks like."
What resources she wishes women had: "There needs to be a chart or a table of some sort — even if it’s just amongst the girls — where we share what we should be charging. We need separate ones for different elements of the industry as well. As a DJ, I started to be more transparent with other DJs about how much I charge. People make you feel so cliché about talking about how much you make but I’m like, wait a second, I need to tell people how much I make because where is their starting point? I think there’s room for everyone to eat, so we need to de-program that part that makes us feel like this is mine or I can’t share this information in case I lose an opportunity for myself."
Who she is: DJ, producer and founder of the Fake Accent nightclub and record label
What a women-led future looks like to her: "Pay equality is really the primary concern for me. I think being paid equally to male counterparts is still a huge problem and it’s really appalling at this point that it’s even still an issue. Also, sexism — misogyny still reigns very predominantly in the music industry and no one tends to call it out. I imagine a future that feels safer for women all around. I want to see more women in engineering and production positions; the removal of any misogyny is a really important aspect in all of this. For Black women specifically, I’d like to see us not have to work 10 times as hard just to be in the same position as a mediocre white male artist."
What resources she wishes women had: "I would say just having equipment and gear to practice on. For producing, that’s a very big road block because if you don’t have the finances, the software is very expensive. Usually you have to share software and that’s how you start off. Friends will also share skill sets and teach each other — it’s interesting because, you’ll see with men, they’re really happy to tell each other how to do certain things, but I definitely wasn’t taught how to make music. I had to learn everything myself by watching a bunch of tutorials. I feel that if I’d had more of a group or support system and could skill share and share plug-ins, it probably would have been easier to learn. Even with tutorials on YouTube, most of them are done by men. That’s another issue right there — if you don’t see yourself or someone like you, you tend to think it’s a position that you can’t hold or aspire to."
Diamond and PrincessBrian Hall
Who they are: Members of Atlanta hip-hop group Crime Mob
How music's boys'-club mentality can be overcome: "We started out in a group with guys, so that kind of made people automatically take us a little more seriously. Even when you think of Eve or Lil' Kim, people have always really loved seeing women being able to hold their own with male rappers and producers. We had those double-time unapologetic rhymes and that confidence and sassiness that is way more acceptable today than it was back then. You know, you might want to get mad if a girl steps on your shoes. You might want to have an attitude or feel fierce or sexy, but instead we’re being told, you have to act like a lady... Whatever that means. For us to be able to embrace who we are and for that to be so accepted today is really a blessing because we had to tone it down a lot back in the day." —Diamond
"It’s such a blessing because we were just being ourselves and to know that being ourselves 15 years later is relatable to so many different women is just special because we’ve never tried to be anything other than who we are. We’re in the era of women now. There’s always been a variety of women artists, but now we’re getting to see all of these different personalities and looks and styles being successful." —Princess
How brands and labels can be more consistent allies to women: "I think it starts with people like Princess and I because we’re right in the middle of a generational gap. We have this new generation and then we have the generation before us that raised us. Even something like Solange having us perform for her Met Gala event — it’s crazy to see how a mega superstar grew up being impacted by us. I think that just means we need to reach out and figure out how to bridge the gap between the generations and be mentors. There is a blueprint that we got from the Queen Latifahs, Da Brats, and MC Lytes and so forth. This new generation needs a blueprint so that they can see that, even though it can be a little tougher navigating this thing as a woman, it’s totally possible." —Diamond
Yung Baby TateJose Govea
Who she is: Songwriter, singer, rapper, producer
Who inspires her: "Kari Faux is an inspiration to me because I just think she’s so creative and talented. Wondagurl was a huge inspiration because I produce my own music and there weren’t that many women producers to look up to. In general, I just believe it’s really important for there to be more women producers and engineers in this industry."
How music's boys'-club mentality can be overcome: "I think I was able to bypass a lot of that because I do everything myself. I write, I produce, I do my own creative direction. I know that might not be possible for everyone, but I’d say learning how to do as much as you can by yourself, so you don’t have to rely on anyone to get it done for you, is a good way to get past that."
What resources she wishes women had more of: "Mentorship is a big one. I think having someone who can kind of point you in the right direction is really important. And probably some kind of business classes, just because there are a lot of technicalities that come up that a lot of artists don’t even know how to deal with because they didn’t get into music to think about all of that." | <urn:uuid:c095dd64-4887-44ee-9800-253e5c335813> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://www.mtv.com/news/3147067/women-in-music-red-bull-music-festival-atlanta/ | 2022-01-23T13:28:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304261.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123111431-20220123141431-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.973898 | 2,555 |

The Best Summer of Your Life through Camp Counselors USA (CCUSA) Program
Interview with CCUSA Russia Country Director Valery Kostin
Text Marina Lukanina and Tatyana Shorova
Approximately twenty years ago the former USSR finally stopped being a “closed country.” Russians were given the luxury of traveling and seeing the world. Various exchange programs began to appear at that time. Some of them gave Soviet students and teachers the option to work in American summer camps. Since the camp movement in Russia has always been popular, such programs quickly became very popular among young people. We decided to talk more about one of such programs, Camp Counselors USA (CCUSA), with CCUSA Russia Country Director Valery Kostin.
Q. CCUSA How did you get involved in camp life in Russia and international camping?
It all started with Artek Camp that still remains one of the most famous camps in Russia. I first went there as a camper many years ago. After graduating from the Mordovian State University I became a counselor, then a program director and then a Head of one of the Artek camps.
Q. What made Artek so unique?
It was the largest international Young Pioneer camp in the Soviet Union established in 1925 on the Black Sea coast in the Crimea, Ukraine. Going to Artek was considered to be an honorable award. In the mid-sixties Artek started running international camp sessions regularly.
Q. What were the circumstances that brought you to the USA first?
At the time of my transfer to the Headquarters of the Young Pioneer Organization in Moscow, American Camp Association (ACA) was looking for a representative from the Soviet Union who could talk about camps in the USSR at their annual conference. I was chosen a speaker and I went to their Boston conference in February of 1990.
My presentation was very well-received. The delegates were astonished to hear that at that time there were over 100,000 camps in the Soviet Union. I spoke about our large camps, their programs, our staff trainings, and the importance of internships.
Bill Harwood, CCUSA President was among the people who listened to my speech. He suggested the idea of establishing a CCUSA program in the Soviet Union. He said he was eager to come to the Soviet Union and select the first Russian participants.
Q. And did he actually come?
He did. Two months after our first meeting in Boston. We gathered 40 students from different republics of the Soviet Union. There were 23 finalists. Our first group of CCUSA participants went to work at the American camps in the summer of 1990.
Q. Was there any reluctance from the American camp directors to hire staff from Russia at that time?
The year after we sent 75 people, then 113 and the number increased each year. The maximum number of people that we’ve sent so far is about 3,000 students. The numbers speak for themselves
Of course we also had to break through the stereotypes and prejudices of some American camp directors about the Russian participants. They could not believe the staff from Russia could be fluent in English and possess enough skills to teach American kids. I know one camp director who back in 1990 did not even think about having anyone from the Soviet Union. She was convinced however to hire one counselor from Lithuania, then part of the Soviet Union. This Lithuanian student transformed the entire arts & crafts program at that camp. Since then that camp director had been hiring lots of counselors from Russia.
Q. What is the main purpose of this program?
Various organizations have different opinions on that. Some consider it to be just a way of making money. As a person who is involved with this program for over 20 years I strongly believe that its main emphasis is on the cultural exchange.
Q. What are the selection criteria and requirements for the candidates?
All the participants have to go through an interview with the program representatives in Moscow or in the regional representative offices of CCUSA. Not only do we pay attention to the skills of the participants but also take into account their personal disposition.
Though Camp Counselors USA program you can go either as a camp support staff (kitchen staff, for example) or as a camp counselor. Some students hesitate to go as a counselor so they begin with a support staff position and usually return as counselors for their 2nd year.
CCUSA takes care of its participants – each of them has a 24-hr emergency phone; the program representatives visit the camps where the CCUSA participants are placed.
In 1997 we also opened Work Experience Program (WEUSA) in Russia. This program allows the students to work in the US service sector – restaurants, theme parks, hotels, etc.
Generally, we accept full-time students and young teachers under 25 years old for participation in Camp Counselor program, and full-time students only - in our Work Experience Program.
Q. Can a foreign student residing in Russia participate in this program?
Yes, as long as he/she has a legal status in Russia. Students from Ghana, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, and the CIS have already taken part in this program.
Q. How much are the program fees and what do they include? Do the participants get paid at a camp?
The fee for CCUSA program is about $800-$1000. It includes insurance, visa, a plane ticket, and administrative expenses. The plane ticket is partially subsidized by the program. At the camp the participants get what we call “pocket money” - approximately $1000 - and I would like to emphasize again that the purpose of this 9 week cultural exchange program is not earning money.
For WEUSA, the fee is about $1500-$2000. This program cost is paid by the participants; there is no subsidy for the plane ticket. On the other hand, in the US you receive a real salary: the minimal hourly rate is $5.25 and up, depending on the type of job and skills. The program duration is 3–4 months including one month of “grace period” that you can use for traveling.
Q. What kind of camp do the participants work at?
There are traditional program camps (Independent/Private camps and Agency camps) that are based on traditional camp values. Campers stay from one to eight week sessions. There are Day Camps that usually operate Monday to Friday during the day. There are Girls Scouts Camps, camps for underprivileged and inner-city children, camps for people with physical/mental disabilities, specialty program camps that focus on one or more of the main activity areas, such as Sports, Arts, and there are Religious camps, which emphasize a fun outdoor experience while promoting the values of different faiths.
Q. Can the participants choose the camps they want to work at?
Every year in March we hold a camp director fair for CCUSA participants, there are about 30 representatives of different camps. It gives a chance for the students, who are already accepted to the program, to choose a camp according to his or her individual preferences. On a regular basis, a student has an interview with CCUSA representatives; successful applications are sent to the US office and then are chosen by the camp directors.
Q. How did the idea of establishing Camp Russia (CRUSSIA) program appear?
After the first successful year the Americans decided to send their students to our camps, in 1991 about 20 American students came to Russia. It was a wonderful experience for them in camps all over Russia.
Q. Does this program work only for the Americans?
Initially, it was only the Americans who participated in CRUSSIA, but in 2000 Britain joined the program. Since 2001 there are about 30-50 students coming over to the Russian camps every year.
The countries which have already sent us their students are the following: Canada, USA, Mexico, Venezuela, Puerto-Rico, Ireland, Netherlands, France, Germany, Hungary, Finland, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.
Practically every country mentioned has a Camp Counselors representative office. Our web site, www.ccusa.com, provides a complete list of our office locations. If there is none in your country, you can contact the office closest to your place. We cooperate with over 65 countries.
The students work at camps for one – two months and get pocket money ($100-$300). The most important part is cultural communication exchange. In some universities it is even considered to be summer training. The camps we cooperate with in this program are members of the Russian Camps Association.
Q. What are the requirements for CRUSSIA program participants? Is knowledge of Russian mandatory?
Overall, knowledge of the Russian language is not required. Those who speak only English can either teach the language or do sports activities at camps. We do emphasize that if a person does not speak Russian, then he/she should at least speak English.
There is no age limit: one can be 18 and over to a reasonable limits. It might be interesting to know that our oldest participant was 72 years old, a retired nurse.
Q. Where can we get more information about these programs?
You should refer to our two web-sites: www.ccusa.com (our headquarters web-site) and www.ccusa.ru is our Russian website. And as CCUSA slogan says, I wish everyone who is interested in international exchange experience at least one Best Summer of Your Life through Camp Counselors USA. | <urn:uuid:08d82076-0580-43ef-9627-f668a58bc50d> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://www.passportmagazine.ru/article/1450/=_BLANK | 2022-01-23T12:07:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304261.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123111431-20220123141431-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.965094 | 1,958 |
Director: John Frankenheimer
Writers: Story by J. D. Zeik, Screenplay by Zeik and David Mamet (credited as “Richard Weisz”, because he was pissed they didn’t give him solo credit.)
Stars: Robert DeNiro, Jean Reno, Natascha McElhone, Stellan Skarsgard, Sean Bean, Jonathan Pryce
The Story: A group of ex-cold-warriors from different countries, all thrown out of work, assemble for a straight-up mercenary job, hired by the IRA to steal a mysterious case from the Russians. Let the double-crossing and triple-crossing ensue!
How it Came to be Underrated: After the Berlin Wall fell, the spy genre seemed in danger of dying. It first started to return with movies like this in the late ‘90s, but it wasn’t until The Bourne Identity and Casino Royale came out that audiences were fully back on board. This smart adrenaline-fest is at the same level as those and deserves to be rediscovered.
Why It’s Great:
- I’ve listened to hundreds of director commentaries over the years, but only a few have stayed with me. This is one of the very best. Frankenheimer intensely and entertainingly explains every decision he made. He tries his best to make visible to his audience all of the invisible storytelling elements that only a great director can see.
- Frankenheimer talks about wanting to avoid bright colors, so he costumed accordingly and then threw tarps over any bright colors that he saw on the practical exterior sets. Nowadays (starting just two years later, actually) they would have just digitally dyed the whole movie blue in post-production, with a few orange highlights tossed in, despite the fact that this always looks horrible. I’m always baffled that actors don’t complain about the fact that they all look like corpses or oranges these days.
- Why are the movies David Mamet writes for others so much better than the movie he directs himself? First and foremost because he’s a terrible director. If you don’t believe me, read his book “On Directing Film”, which is firehose of contempt aimed at the art of acting. The second problem is that most of movies have the same twist: the woman screws everybody over. When he’s forced to collaborate, his worst instincts are tamped down. Perhaps the best situation is one like this where he simply adds his great dialogue to someone else’s story.
- That said, this dialogue is Mamet at his best. Mamet’s characters are always wonderfully guarded. The dialogue is not the most bad-ass thing they could say, but the most bad-ass thing they would say: “You every kill anybody?” [knowing smirk:] “I hurt somebody’s feelings once.” Or later: “Whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt. That's the first thing they teach you.” “Who taught you?” “I don't remember. That's the second thing they teach you.” Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have an actor as good as DeNiro saying the lines.
If You Like This, You Should Also Check Out: Frankenheimer does his best here to top Willaim Friedkin’s bravura against-traffic freeway chase in To Live and Die in L.A. Though he was the senior director, it wasn’t the first time he followed in Friedkin’s footsteps: Frankenheimer directed the little-seen The French Connection II, which is a great little thriller if you don’t hold it up to the standard of Friedkin’s more ambitious original.
How Available Is It?: It’s on Watch Instantly, but you owe it to yourself to order the DVD, both for the commentary and the superior resolution in the action sequences. | <urn:uuid:16841d87-fd0b-47c5-b5c3-f8d92df969d5> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://www.secretsofstory.com/2012/01/underrated-movie-144-ronin.html | 2022-01-23T13:06:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304261.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123111431-20220123141431-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.947141 | 852 |
A group of individual investors whose aim is to promote Ethiopia’s economic development and sustainability has founded Addis Ababa Angel Investors Network.
The Network that will invest in small startups and entrepreneurs in exchange for ownership equity aims to build a robust startup ecosystem in Ethiopia that addresses the existing funding gap that targets early-stage innovative startups.
The Group was founded by Shem Asefaw, a serial investor in Canada, Ethiopia & Kenya. Other founding members included Addis Alemayehu, Chairman at KAZANA Group; Henok Assefa, Founder at Precise Consult; Adam Abate, CEO at PAGA Ethiopia; Joseph Kibur, Founder and CEO at YAYA Investment; and Levi Girma, Co-Founder at Nest Ventures.
The Group has already made its first investment in Across Express, a startup working to solve freight transport and logistics problems in Ethiopia. The startup aims to modernize the freight booking and fulfillment process targeting mid and long-distance trucking.
The Network is looking for visionary startups to work with an entrepreneurial spirit with a proven product and marketable product.
“We welcome crazy ideas and big dreams and want to help achieve the next big thing in Ethiopia,” said Shem Asefaw, the Network’s Founder.
The Network is also inviting other investors to get involved, either through funding, investing, being a community partner, or being a business associate that can help provide essential expertise to early-stage startups with seed capital, guidance, and support.
Except for bank and microfinance institution loans and few venture capital entities, Ethiopia does not have an adequate funding mechanism that targets early-stage startups.
The Global Entrepreneurship Index, an annual index that measures the health of the entrepreneurship ecosystem, ranked Ethiopia at 111 out of 137 in 2019.
With a view of addressing this problem, the government is drafting a new bill that proposes the formation of the National Start-up Council, which will be tasked with overseeing resource mobilization for entrepreneurs and startups.
The Start-up Business proclamation, which is being drafted by the Ministry of Innovation & Technology in collaboration with the Jobs Creation Commission for the past year, aims to remove the impediments to entrepreneurship by easing the procedures of establishing, running, expanding, and closing down a business.
The bill also proposes the formation of a National Innovation Fund that will mobilize resources for startups from the government, as well as loans, grants, and investment from private equity groups and angel investors.
The mobilized funds will be used to incentivize startups by covering the cost of fees for the registration of intellectual property and guarantees given to the startups to get funding from financial institutions.
Ethiopia has close to 15 startup incubators and 64 accelerators such as Iceaddis, blueMoon, and X-hub Addis. | <urn:uuid:3f61ff8c-4a49-4645-8639-6a480b651fe9> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://addisinsight.net/addis-gets-its-own-angel-investors-network/ | 2022-01-23T11:21:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304261.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123111431-20220123141431-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.926552 | 579 |

If the headlining becomes wet, the process is accelerated. This situation can be fixed quickly and cheaply by the use of an adhesive for the sagging headliner.

Things to Consider Before Buying a Headliner Adhesive
The right type of product will restore the headliner not only for a few months but for a long while. This helps you save money in the long run. There are factors you need to consider when purchasing a headliner adhesive. Below are some of the main features that will guide you to acquire the Best Headliner Adhesive.
The adhesive you select should be resistant to low and high temperatures. The interior of your vehicle can either be cold or hot depending on the weather patterns. Ensure the adhesive is temperature resistant. Do not opt for rubber-based adhesives as they tend to melt as soon as they are exposed to heat. This may cause the headliner to either sag or fall off.
The car headliner glue ought to be usable on both vinyl and fabric. Most of the products indicate that they are compatible with a lot of materials. If you do not see fabric and vinyl on the list, skip the product. As headliners are mostly made of fabric and vinyl, the adhesive will not be of help if it does not support the two materials.
There are two types of headliner adhesives to select from. They can either be liquid or aerosol. Both of them can be used for vehicle headliners. The choice solely lies in your preference. Aerosol adhesives are in spray cans and are modified for easy use.

Liquid headliners may be used with a paint gun. It provides a stronghold. However, if you do not have a paint gun, choose an aerosol headliner.
The car headliner repair glue should not only work on the headliner, but also on other parts of the vehicle. Considering that your vehicle will require repair and maintenance, you may need to apply the adhesive on the exterior. It would cost you a lot of money to use different products on such applications. Select a headliner that can work on different materials.
You have to consider the amount of money you are willing to spend on the best vinyl headliner adhesive. If a larger part of a headliner needs to be coated, you may require two to three cans. Buying an adhesive is cheaper than taking your vehicle to a mechanic. You can afford to buy the cans, especially during emergencies.

How Can I Fix a Headliner Without Removing It?
Replacing a headliner with a new one can be expensive, especially if your car is old. Fixing the headliner without removing it can be budget-friendly. Below are some of the tricks on car interior roof repair to keep your headliner in place as you look for a permanent solution.
- Use glue
Gluing the headliner back to place will take very little time and resources. Glue application works well especially when the headliner starts to become loose from the edges. If you are fixing a sagging headliner, ordinary glue may not be of much help.
You may also use two-sided tape to stick the headliner back to the car roof. Just like glue, it works best when the material is detached at the edges.
- Use pins
This is another quick fix that does not require much money. I have used sequin pins once, and it worked great. Use whichever pins you have to stick the material onto your car’s roof. You can get creative and arrange the pins in an appealing manner.
- Use hairspray and staples
This is a unique combination that actually works and has impressive results. First, staple the headliner back into place and then use hairspray around the edges. Make sure the spray dries out and then remove the staples. It might be hard but worth the effort.
The above are only temporary measures you should take as you think of a permanent solution. Failing to act on a sagging headliner may cause you untold misery. It can obstruct your view while driving making it likely to cause an accident. It is important you look for an adhesive for a sagging headliner.
What Kind of Glue Should I Use For Headliner?
The best headliner glue should install headliners without a problem. There are many types available either in liquid or aerosol form. Many of the aerosol adhesives are designed to hold up headliners and withstand high-temperature conditions.
For the liquid adhesives, I recommend you use gorilla which has convenience properties such as a wide pad nozzle that ensures even application. For the aerosol adhesives, use the 3M 38808 headliner and fabric adhesive that works superbly as it has very high heat resistance. It will also hold the headliner permanently into place.
Which Is a Non-toxic Adhesive to make a headliner For My Car?
When looking to buy an adhesive, it is imperative you get the best headliner adhesive that will not harm the existing plastic foam. It should also not be very toxic such that it causes excessive bodily harm.

The various adhesives in the market differ in their applications and how effective they are. According to my personal findings, for aerosol type, I would recommend you use the 3M 38808 headliner and fabric adhesive as it has exceptional strong bonds and high heat resistance.
For the liquid adhesives, I recommend you use the Permatex headliner and carpet adhesive. It is not only economical but has high bonding strength and high-temperature resistance.
What is a Headliner Foam?
This is an automotive headlining fabric that mostly is 1/8-1/4 inch thick for comfort and safety. In addition, it provides a uniform appearance stiffness, feels and sound reduction needed in automobiles.
Can I Paint Over Headliner Adhesive?

Why would a company give away their services and products for free?
For starters, consumers love the word free, and they perceive any free offer as instant value. Think of the rush you get when someone brings in doughnuts to the office. Although you only save about $1.25, you tweet, "Free doughnuts this morning #BestDayEver!"
Software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies are seeking to capture the feeling you get when there's a complimentary box of donuts at work by offering free subscription options to their pricing tier. Freemium (free + subscription) business models are a no-brainer for companies to attract more users, but this model can also complicate customer success.
Although consumers love free things, they also have a special affinity for exceptional customer service. They expect to be treated like a valued partner, with their problems and questions answered immediately. And with70% of buying experiences based on how customers feel they are treated, companies must invest in top-notch customer service.
As more SaaS companies adopt freemium business models, it begs the question -- where does customer success fit into the free subscription dynamics?
Read on to dig deeper into the definition of freemium, and to learn about how three freemium SaaS companies approach free user customer success.
What is Freemium?
Freemium is a business model that allows customers to receive basic services or products for free, but requires them to pay for any additional premium features.
SaaS companies use freemium as a market entry strategy to quickly attract new users and measure interest around new software commodities. Unlike a free trial, the freemium model offers software for free without time limitations. The idea is, the user will derive so much value from the free product, they'll want to pay to upgrade to the premium offerings.
Here's an example of a freemium business model: Spotify.
Freemium models are popular among brands that target a large market, and one of the most popular examples isSpotify's free subscription. A free user can listen to music without paying a dime, but there are two stipulations: If they try to skip too many songs in their playlist, they will have to listen to a mandatory 30-second advertisement, and if an artist releases a new album, a free user will have to wait two weeks before they can access the new music.
Eventually, if the free user reaches their breaking point and cannot listen to another jingle and needs to hear Drake's new album immediately, they can sign up and pay the $10 a month for greater music freedom.
Spotify reaches millions of people who are uncertain about paying for music. They cracked the code and quickly gain more premium subscribers from their free users every day with a40% conversion rate in our anti-advertising and anti-interruptions world. Most freemium SaaS companies can't ignore their free users or pepper them with ads and see such impactful conversions.
How Do SaaS Companies do Freemium Customer Success?
The decision to service free users is a tricky balance. Businesses want to ensure that their free users have a good experience so they eventually become a paying customer. However, with a good experience comes the cost to service a free user with technology and people resources.
By definition,customer success is intended to set customers up for success -- as in, paying users who contribute to the preservation of a company. Freemium blurs those lines and forces SaaS organizations to think critically about who is a customer and who needs high-quality service in order to see success with their product.
Below are three examples of real SaaS companies that are nailing freemium customer success:
1. Slack delivers customer success based on user potential.
Slack is a messaging application for teams to communicate information with each other and access past material. It has become a popular application among customer success teams with the instant message capability to capture answers to questions quickly.
Upon signup, a free Slack user has access to their getting started guides and prompts that instruct a user on how to get set up right away in the product. The guides also have department playbooks to set up Slack in the most efficient way depending on the intention.
A free user also has access to the standard support and can submit a ticket to express their problems and technical difficulties. Many customer success teams rely on Slack for internal communication to provide answers to their customers' problems quickly and Slack must work properly in order to keep their correspondence afloat.
Slack's Judy Watkins, the Senior Manager for Customer Experience believes that "if [Slack] provide[s] the same level of support to everyone, then maybe some of those free customers will become paid customers because of the level of support we're providing."
With6 million users and4 million paying customers the 'support for all' customer success methodology is working for Slack.
2. InVision provides customer success tools for users to help themselves.
InVision is a prototype tool for designers to mock up projects and ideas. When a free user signs up, they are immediately brought to a "getting started" page that includes a prompt to start a project, and a library of videos to reference with basic tutorials and workflow tips for those who are more advanced. The page walks the user through the basic steps to start a project without overcomplicated options.
InVision produces robust content, with a dozen getting started guides, several knowledge base common question categories, webinars, and community boards. Their customer success focus is about enabling the user to help themselves and find answers before they reach out to their customer success team.
Free users do have support access through InVision's contact us page. To bolster their efforts on being transparent, InVision also has a support Twitter handle that highlights company-wide issues and real-time updates.
To uncover more about their customer success model InVision's Head of Support, Scott Markovits discussed speaking with a customer who asks for a feature that is not included in their level of subscription.
"If our team has the ability to provide access to the result they need (ex. un-archive a project), we'll make every effort to do a one-off favor," he explains. "If impossible, we'll detail the value added in the upgraded plan and offer a month or so of discounted service to help make the transition a bit easier for them."
All of InVision's supportive materials and helpful mentality had lead to serve 80% of the Fortune 100 and over3 million users.
3. Zapier makes customer success a company-wide initiative.
Zapier is a third-party integration system that connects apps to create automation. Its "Free Forever" plan allows a user to select the applications they want to connect and the triggers to set the automation actions. There are suggested "zaps," or integrations, and popular articles to guide a free user through setup.
By nature, Zapier is more complex to use, with integrations involving multiple applications, several automation actions, and simply more factors at play with a higher risk of error.
In order to provide service everyone, Zapier operates by the philosophy, "…we believe that the best way to help people is to put everyone on support. Around here, we call it 'all hands support,' which means that every person on the team -- no matter the job title -- spends some portion of their day, week, or month talking directly to customers and solving problems for them," according toCEO Wade Foster.
No matter what your job title, all Zapier employees take shifts to troubleshoot with their users and set them up for success. Foster believes when everyone pitches in, "support becomes faster, easier and less expensive." | <urn:uuid:a950763a-f051-423a-8451-527fc81afe05> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://blog.hubspot.com/service/freemium-customer-success | 2022-01-23T11:46:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304261.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123111431-20220123141431-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.952689 | 1,594 |
It’s a new year, a new decade, and a chance to put your running front and center. 2020 is also a leap year, and that means that it’s a chance to pick up one of the most rare and coveted badge on Smashrun – the Leap Year Sweep.
To get it you’ll need to run every single day for 366 days starting on Jan 1. There’s no minimum distance requirement (although some people set one for themselves). You just have to run Every. Single. Day.
That means scheduling, making sacrifices, and being very, very careful to avoid injury. You’ll need to listen to your body, keep the long range goal in mind, and not take risks by going too hard or too far than your body is ready.
If you pull it off, you’ll earn at least 5 badges, but more importantly you’ll have taken your running to a whole new level.
There’s a reason that just 137 people have earned it. If you want to take a shot you have to commit now and stick with it. Are you in?
We hit Strava’s daily rate limit today. This is pretty disappointing, but the first time it has happened so far. We’ve had a lot of new registrations connecting to Strava today, so hoping this won’t be a problem going forward.
That unfortunately means, until the rate limit resets, you’ll need to upload a TCX or FIT file. | <urn:uuid:27e01e38-034b-479b-a54f-9719bbfde49f> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://blog.smashrun.com/2019/12/30/the-leap-year-sweep/ | 2022-01-23T13:16:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304261.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123111431-20220123141431-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.958243 | 328 |
A medical mess
Bandhs, gheraos and peaceful demonstrations are quintessential features of the democracy for which India is acclaimed around the world. After protracted protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and the three farm laws, India has again gained global media attention with thousands of striking resident doctors at New Delhi public hospitals facing off against police because of the inadmissible delay of NEET- PG Tips 2021. Further delay could lead to a paralysis of medical services across the country, as the Federation of Indian Medical Association (FAIMA) threatened to boycott all work, including emergency services, in protest against the crackdown on medical residents.
The alleged assault on the medics and FIR registration against them is deeply distressing as they were covered in rose petals by the government a year ago for being corona warriors. Resident physicians have been protesting since November 27 against the multiple postponements of NEET PG Counseling 2021 and the subsequent admission of a new batch of resident physicians to medical schools.
Resident physicians are crucial for the entire healthcare system, including Covid care. One public health expert has rightly said that nothing is truer in the medical profession than this ~ “Interdependence is a higher value than independence”. NEET-PG-21 counseling cannot tolerate delay for a variety of interrelated, interconnected and incidental reasons. It would be interesting to go into the genesis of the current unrest.
On July 29, 2021, the Union government issued a notification introducing two new bookings for undergraduate and postgraduate medical and dental courses, starting in the current academic year 2021-2022. Under the notification, 10 percent is reserved for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) and 27 percent for Other Backward Classes (OBC) under the Indian Global Quota (AIQ). The National Testing Agency (NTA), Department of Education, organizes the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEETUG) which is the entrance examination to all undergraduate courses (NEETUG).
The National Examination Council (NBE), Ministry of Health and Welfare, organizes the NEETPG, that is, the postgraduate examination for courses in medicine and dentistry in the country. The NEET-PG review was scheduled to take place in January 2021. But it was postponed to April 2021 and due to the evolving situation of Covid-19, still postponed to September 2021. The result of the NEET- review PG was released the following month.
The council was to start from the end of October itself. But counseling to PG courses could not begin as the notification regarding bookings for OBCs and EWS was challenged in the Supreme Court by some doctors aspiring to graduate. The petitioners also challenged the reasonableness of the annual income cap of Rs 8 lakh set by the government to determine the status of the SAP.
The case was heard by the Supreme Court on November 25, 2021. Asked about the justification for the income cap of Rs 8 lakh, the learned Solicitor General, Tushar Mehta, told the Supreme Court that the reservation was a matter of justice social, it could not be rescheduled and requested a four week deadline to review the annual income criteria of Rs 8 lakh for EWS applicants. He also said the review process would take around four weeks and until then PG Counseling would be kept on hold.
The government formed a three-member committee to review the SAP criteria with instructions to submit a report within four weeks. The next hearing is scheduled for January 6, 2022. However, due to clashes with police and the registration of FIRs against some protesting doctors, medical residents have called for the total closure of medical services in Delhi hospitals.
Calling it a “dark day” in the history of the medical fraternity, the Federation of Resident Doctors Associations (FORDA) said there would be a complete shutdown of all health facilities. In a press release, FORDA said, “We strongly condemn this brutal act and demand the immediate release of all medical residents. There will be a complete shutdown of health facilities… ”They also urged all state GDRs to join in the agitation. FAIMA has shown solidarity with them. The medical residents have insisted that the Department of Health give written assurance that the council will begin on a specific date. The case being sub-judicial, the department is faced with a dilemma. In addition, the next court date is approaching.
It should be remembered that the All India Quota (AIQ) program was introduced in 1986 on the instructions of the Supreme Court to provide homeless merit-based opportunities for students from any state aspiring to study at a good medical school in one of the states. The AIQ is made up of 15 percent of the total UG seats available and 50 percent of the total PG seats available in government medical schools. In particular, before 2007, there was no reservation in the AIQ system. In 2007, the Supreme Court introduced a 15 percent reservation for listed castes (SC) and a 7.5 percent quota for listed tribes (ST) in the AIQ scheme.
When the Law on Central Educational Institutions (Admission Reservation) entered into force in 2007, it for the first time provided for a reserve of 27% for CBOs. It has been implemented by all central medical education institutions such as Safdarjung Hospital, Lady Hardinge Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University and Banaras Hindu University. However, it was not extended to the AIQ seats in state medical and dental schools.
The 103rd Constitutional Amendment of 2019, provided for a reservation of 10% for the SAP category in all central educational institutions. The number of places in the faculties of medicine and dentistry has been increased over the next two years (2019-2020 and 2020-2021) to take into account this additional SAP reservation of 10% so that the total number of places available for the unreserved category is not reduced.
In AIQ seats, however, these benefits were not extended. On a petition filed by the DMK party, the Madras High Court ruled in 2020 that CBOs were entitled to reservations at AIQ seats and ordered the Union government to implement the same from of the 2021 academic year. The Union government, after careful consideration, made a conscious political decision and decided to provide 27% reservation for OBCs and 10% reservation for EWS in AIQ headquarters for all undergraduate and postgraduate medical / dental courses from the current academic year, 2021-2022.
Given the huge delay in the NEET-PG-21 Council meeting, the government could have taken the decision to implement these reserves as early as the next academic year 2022-23. But no democratic government that must seek popular support can be seen procrastinating and procrastinating on the highly emotional and inflammable issue of social justice, especially as the elections draw near.
The forgotten recommendations of the Mandal Commission were to be implemented by VP Singh as a countermeasure to save his government. Narasimha Rao’s government had introduced a 10 percent reserve for SAP, with the exception of 27 percent reservations for CBOs which were challenged in the Supreme Court in 1992. The Supreme Court in the famous Indra Sawhney case against Union of India confirmed the quota of 27 percent. for OBCs but canceled a 10 percent reserve for EWS. However, with the adoption of the 103rd Amendment to the Constitution, the reserve for the SAP was guaranteed by the Constitution.
Resident Doctors want NEET-PG-21 to start without further loss of time, which has been unreasonably and disproportionately delayed for multiple reasons, including the Covid-19 outbreak and the decision to introduce reservations for OBCs and EWS. The 2022-2023 academic session is only a few months away and given the severe constraints of infrastructure and faculty, approximately 90,000 PG students cannot be supported by a system intended for 45,000 students per academic year.
Besides great mental agony and affliction for the students, it will have a severe and debilitating effect on the teaching and treatment of the patients. To overcome the shortage of teachers, the Medical Council of India (now the Medical Commission) increased the teacher-teacher ratio from 1: 2 to 1: 3 compared to the 2018-19 academic session. The professors of the PG are already overloaded and the simultaneous conduct of two promotions, under the circumstances, is far from practical.
Moreover, the deprivation of much-needed medical care for patients, exacerbated by the looming Omicron threat, a possible brain drain and the financial losses to the nation cannot be measured in monetary terms. Indian medical education is acclaimed around the world. Indian doctors and paramedics are widely recognized for their professionalism. The whole nation is waiting with great hope and expectation for the Supreme Court to resolve the matter as we cannot afford the protracted protests from our doctors.

At the time of writing there’s been no official announcement that In the Flesh has been recommissioned for a third season, which seems like cruel and unusual punishment for an audience dealing with the end of a damn fine series and the apparent loss of one of its best characters.
So surely it’s only a matter of time before a hand bursts from beneath the ground outside of Broadcasting House and gives a thumbs up. Perhaps everyone at the Beeb is just so busy enjoying the World Cup that they’ve forgotten to tell us it’s been renewed. Yeah? That’s it. That’s got to be it.
To viewers the reasons why it should return are obvious.
It is, unquestionably, one of the strongest pieces of programming to ever emerge from BBC Three; a resounding but elegant rebuttal to those who believe the channel to be a playground of ‘yoof’ immaturity. But just to labour the point further, here are five reasons why In the Flesh should, nay must, return for a third season…
When interviewing the cast the thing you soon notice is that, apart from being really nice people, every single member is quick to praise, completely unprompted, series creator Dominic Mitchell’s scripts. And it goes beyond the usual fawning for the press pack; these people really enjoy acting out what they’re reading.
Well why shouldn’t they? Mitchell’s writing is natural, with a keen ear for colloquialisms and familial repartee, but it’s also ruthlessly economical. There’s not a word wasted. It’s the kind of scriptwriting we need more of.
And it’s not just Dom Mitchell. John Jackson and Fintan Ryan have provided some outstanding writing this series, the highlight being Ryan’s monologue for Kieren describing rising from the dead. I’ve learned it off by heart, just in case a Sunday lunch with the family ever begins to drag.
Luke Newberry, terrific. Emily Bevan, terrific, Harriet Cains, terrific. Everyone, terrific. From the protagonists down to the incidental pub regulars, there’s not a weak link in In the Flesh‘s cast. I could watch a whole episode of those two lady regulars in the boozer just talking shit about everyone else in Roarton and giving false grins. If we ever get a Season 3, give them a prequel webisode.
Season 2 expanded upon a cast without a weak link in it and gave us…a bigger cast without a weak link in it. As Simon, Emmett Scanlan was a zombie to fall in love with, with a performance that week on week never dipped below magnetic. So magnetic that it was a danger to leave any credit cards or electronics near the TV, in case they were wiped. And Wunmi Mosaku’s Maxine Martin MP was a complicated force of friction and a more human member of Parliament than any of the real ones you actually mouthing off on the news.
It makes you wonder just what kind of characters we might see in a third season, and the actors who might play them.
Season 1 introduced us to the skin of the world, Season 2 took us beneath it to see how far the rot had spread, and now we want to autopsy our way even further. We’ve glimpsed inside the wipe-down walls of Halpern-Weston, uncovered more of the Undead Prophet’s schemes, and further experienced the everyday treatment of Roarton’s undead, but it’s all been so achingly tantalising, and proof that there’s so much unseen to see.
As the story has been told, the borders of its world have expanded at just the right pace, balancing each reveal with remaining mystery. There’s no finer example than the finale of Season 2, leaving us with the possibility that sufferers of Partially Deceased Syndrome are overcoming their disorder and becoming fully human again. Now we all want to see how that pans out…
This is a brief point but it’s probably the most important. Is fan-favourite Amy Dyer (Emily Bevan) alive or is she dead? Or is she re-undead?
Denying us an answer by not commissioning a third season would be tantamount to torture. And that’s illegal. You don’t want to be reported to The Hague, BBC.
You don’t have to stumble far online to see just how passionate viewers from around the world are about the show. There are Tumblrs and Twitter feeds filled with art and fanfiction; portraits of the characters in all mediums and stories that delve deep into Roarton and beyond.
What’s also lovely is that the cast interact with the fans. Take a look at Dom Mitchell’s Twitter feed and you’ll see how much artwork he’s retweeted. It’s terrific to see the people who make a show interacting with the people who love it.
That’s how you know a show is successful – not when the critics are praising it or when the Nielsen boxes are blinking – when it brings out genuine feeling and artistic expression in its audience. People are emotionally invested in this, a show which speaks to them on a personal level, and having invested in this world they deserve to be rewarded.
Reward us. Reward us now. Hit that big red ‘re-commission’ button.
Are you hoping for a third season?

CHRONIC UTI INFORMATION FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS
Download a printable copy of this fact sheet here.
In 2008 it was estimated that nearly 45% of the world’s population were affected by lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), and this is expected to rise.1 Even in acute, uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), rates of recurrence are high; 25-35% of patients have symptomatic or microbiological recurrence following standard antibiotic treatment2 and up to 70% experience another UTI within a year.3 Up to 1.7 million women aged 18+ in Britain suffer from chronic LUTS.4
To date, there is no reference to chronic UTI in either the NICE guidelines for England and Wales, or the SIGN guidelines for Scotland.
It affects men, women and children and has a significant impact on quality of life, yet it is poorly understood.
Recurrent UTI symptoms are often treated with short courses of antibiotics. When negative urine dipsticks and midstream urine cultures (MSUs) are encountered, many patients are denied antibiotic therapy and are referred onto specialists where further diagnoses of interstitial cystitis (IC), painful bladder syndrome (PBS), urethral syndrome (US) or overactive bladder (OAB) are proposed on the basis of these negative urine tests. This is despite the fact that numerous studies have shown dipsticks and MSUs to be unreliable.5, 6, 7, 8, 9
The MSU culture misses up to 90% of patients with a chronic UTI. The urine dipstick misses 60% of chronic urinary tract infections.5,6
The dipstick test is positive for nitrite in <18% and positive for leucocytes in <40% of acute UTIs with positive MSU culture. 5,6,7
IC, PBS, US, OAB: A DIAGNOSIS THAT IS FAILING CHRONIC UTI SUFFERERS
These are diagnosed after a UTI has been ruled out using the gold standard urine dipstick and MSU culture testing. There is no widely successful cure or care pathway for these refractory conditions.10 Surgical interventions such as cystoscopy, biopsy, urethral dilatation, cystodistension, bladder laser, botox injections, urodynamics and instillations are invasive, painful and often repeated when seeking a diagnosis. All of these procedures carry an inherent risk and are of no benefit to the patient.11
A 2016 analysis of 36 RCTs evaluating 1,822 participants found that bladder instillations are no better than placebo.12 Patients are offered CBT, painkillers, anti-depressants and often told they have to accept and live with it as a part of their ageing process.13
TREATING PERSISTENT OR RECURRENT UTI
• Believe in your patient’s history and treat
according to symptoms, not just their test results
• Prescribe longer courses of antibiotics until symptoms are cleared. Short courses are only effective for simple, uncomplicated UTI and repeated ineffective courses can promote microbial resistance26
• Ensure antibiotics are taken promptly and encourage your patient to return early if their symptoms persist
• Do not discount low CFU counts or mixed growths and treat the symptomatic patients
promptly. In the presence of significant symptoms
the quantification of the bacterial counts on MSU culture are no longer accepted as a valid method of validating or disproving an infection, no matter how low the threshold is set.
• Advise your patient on how to provide a concentrated clean-catch urine sample but do not dismiss mixed growth as contamination as UTIs are polymicrobial7, 30 and urothelial cells are a marker of chronic infection8
• Encourage the patient to drink normally, as dilute samples often lead to negative results.
• Treat early on the basis of acute symptoms as tests are unreliable and inaccurate and remember that analgesia is not a substitute to antibiotics. Stress does not cause a UTI and not treating or believing a patient will certainly result in stress.
• In the presence of recurrent UTI symptoms, refer patients to a centre with a special interest in recurrent or chronic UTI and not to a general gynaecology, urogynaecology or urology clinic.
INFECTION — NOT INFLAMMATION
Burgeoning evidence suggests chronic and recalcitrant
LUTS are missed bacterial infections which result in chronic inflammation, bladder symptoms and
neuropathic pain. Effective early intervention is the key to preventing a chronic UTI.14,15,16
NICE GUIDELINES IN ENGLAND, SIGN GUIDELINCES IN SCOTLAND GUIDANCE PRIORITISES TEST RESULTS OVER SYMPTOMS BUT THESE TESTS ARE INACCURATE
patients with LUTS and the controls.5 Evidence shows that it is not appropriate to rely on these tests for chronic UTI.
Standard urine culture misses 90% of patients with a chronic urinary tract infection.5,6
A study published in 2018 using urine specimens
obtained via the clean-catch MSU method and utilising the UK microbiological protocols which are tailored to acute UTI, failed to detect a variety of bacterial species, including recognised uropathogens. The gold standard
MSU culture was unable to differentiate between
patients with LUTS and the controls.5 Evidence shows that it is not appropriate to rely on these tests for chronic UTI.
KASS CRITERIA: NO LONGER THE GOLD STANDARD
The current microbiological criteria to diagnose UTI is the Kass Criteria.17 It was never validated for all UTIs. It originates from 60-year-old research on a small sample of pregnant women with acute pyelonephritis. The threshold for infection (≥105/mL of a single species of a known uropathogen) has been disputed and thresholds as low as 102 CFUs/mL are now reported in some US and
Kass also made an erroneous assumption that mixed growth is likely contamination. It is now known that the
urinary microbiome is complex and a normal bladder hosts up to 400 different species of organisms.5, 19 Advanced second-generation sequencing techniques and quantitative PCR testing have validated the presence of an array of bacteria as part of a healthy bladder biome with increased numbers in chronically-infected bladders. Despite this enhanced information, much research needs to be done in order to identify the causative agent/agents.20, 21, 22 Standard culture media are highly sensitive to E. coli but detect as little as 12% of other clinically significant species.22
A DISEASE MODEL FOR CHRONIC UTI
It is now known that uropathogens utilise microbial
communities protected by an extra-cellular matrix. These biofilms undergo morphological changes, increasing resistance to both the immune response and to antibiotics.23, 24
Uropathogens in chronic or recurrent UTI colonise the urothelium, creating intracellular reservoirs which reinfect the urine when urothelial cells are shed, days, weeks or months later. The colonised urothelium is weakened by the inflammatory process, leading to an increased rate of apoptosis. Prolonged inflammation of the mucosa also leads to remodelling, resulting in an increased susceptibility to recurrent UTIs.16, 25
TREATMENT OF CHRONIC UTI
Antibiotics are only effective against actively dividing microbes. Bacteria embedded in the bladder wall are dormant and do not divide. These “persisters” are not targeted by most antibiotics which act at extracellular level. Tissue-penetrating antibiotics do not have the capability to kill dormant microbes hence they evade antibiotic attack.27
An observational study in 2018 reported 10 year data from a specialist centre on 624 patients with CUTI treated successfully with long-term, full-dose, narrow-spectrum, first-generation antibiotics. The lengthy full-dose regime manages to suppress the bacterial activity as they emerge from the shed urothelium, thereby preventing reinfection of young and deeper cells.
In this study, 84% of patients rated their condition as “much better” and of those, 64% rated their condition as “very much better.” On average it took 383 days of
continuous treatment to achieve symptom resolution.28
A further study from the same centre, reported the consequences of cessation of treatment in 221 patients
following an unprecedented closure in 2015. 199 patients reported deterioration in their symptoms, 11 patients required hospital admission due to severe urosepsis, one patient developed a renal abscess and there were other serious medical consequences as a result of this. Symptom scores increased after cessation and recovered on
re-initiating treatment, providing a proof of concept that the treatment with antibiotics was indeed needed to keep CUTI at bay.29
- Tests to diagnose UTI are highly unreliable and often falsely-negative
- Chronic UTI is on the rise and all clinicians need to be updated
- Symptoms and history are the key to a diagnosis
- Early diagnosis and prompt treatment is the key to preventing chronic UTI
- It is no longer acceptable to deny patients treatment on the basis of faulty diagnostics

Well there was a spectacular misfire today as all the hype surrounding the announcement by CERN, expected by many to offer clear evidence of the discovery of the Higgs Boson ended up being a bit of a damp fuse. But why all the fuss and what is the Higgs Boson anyway?
Well I don’t claim to understand it all myself. My science qualifications ended at GCSE nearly half a lifetime ago so I am by no means the best person to answer that. However, fear not because I have amalgamated all of today’s hype and facts to come up with an explanation that I hope you’ll be happy with. Here it goes:
I am sure you’ve heard of cells right? They are the things that hold your body together at a cellular level and stop you being little more than genetic goo. On a basic level these cells are made up of different proteins that are held together by atoms on an atomic level. Atoms such as Hydrogen, Carbon and Oxygen are the fundamental building blocks of which all compounds such as water and carbon dioxide are made. These are formed into the Periodic Table that is arranged by breaking down these atoms further into protons, neutrons and electrons and counting the number of protons in that atom. These are subatomic particles and this is where our understanding of physics gets a little bit mental.
There are many other subatomic particles that do not appear to behave rationally in the logical way that we would expect. In other words it’s like a Slayer mosh pit. It’s chaos. Scientists at CERN are trying to work out why these subatomic particles do these things and what gives them (and therefore everything else) mass (or to someone on Earth I suppose you could substitute this for ‘weight’ but only in the very loosest sense). That’s where the Higgs Boson comes into play.
The Higgs Boson is thought to come from kind of field (the Higgs Field) a little bit like a magnetic field that provides other particles with mass. Should the Higgs Boson be proven to exist then it ties up a lot of loose ends in the current theories and helps us get closer to understanding why we and everything else are actually here. But how are they searching for it and how do they find it? Well that’s what the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is for.
When it first fired up in anger many were worried that it might cause the Earth to fall into a Black Hole, of course it was actually riddled with technical faults but that’s by the by. It works by accelerating atoms and particles and smashing them together at incredibly high speed. This causes a tiny explosion that sensitive instruments can analyse and find out what happened. It’s a bit like air crash investigators but without all the dead bodies. CERN are running several experiments and one of these is trying to find evidence for the Higgs Boson.
Ok so now you know what the Higgs Boson is you are still probably wondering what all the fuss was about right? Well a lot of people, myself included were hoping that today CERN would announce clear evidence that the Higgs Boson exists. Basically should the Higgs Boson be found it would mean that scientists and geeks around the world would wet their pants with excitement because it signals a new age in our understanding of our Universe and means we are nudging ever closer to a Unified Theory of Everything.
Of course that means it may also eventually lead to some much cooler discoveries that could propel inventions such as anti-gravity boots, teleportation devices and maybe, just maybe a way a way to destroy the X-Factor once and for all. Imagine that? But before you get too excited about those prospects hold back the bubbly because they don’t have enough data to confirm it has been found yet. Searching for the Higgs Boson is like pin pointing Bin Laden. They know roughly where to look but they need more data to confirm it before they send in the SEALS, or in this case those guys in white coats at CERN.
So for now we have to wait with baited breath to see what 2012 will bring but for now you can read more here: | <urn:uuid:ae733c30-855e-471b-bfac-13c917ef7cf4> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://dazzlerebel.net/2011/12/14/its-physics-jim-but-not-as-we-know-it-or-the-higgs-boson-as-a-layman-understands-it/ | 2022-01-23T11:58:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304261.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123111431-20220123141431-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.970064 | 879 |

PHARMACOGENOMICS: GENETIC APPROACH OF TAILORING PERSONALIZED MEDICINE
AbstractPharmacogenomics examines the genetic variation of patients which are seeking to drug administration. It is the branch which correlating the gene expression with a drug’s efficacy or toxicity. It provides a more rational way for drugs to be discovered, developed, and delivered. Pharmacogenomics make assures that drugs might one day tailor–made for individuals and adapted to each person’s own genetic makeup. Individual’s genetic makeup is thought to be the key to creating personalized with greater efficacy and safety. A personalized medicine is a medical approach for a patient for the diagnosis of the cause of the disease based on the genetic profile of the patient with fewer adverse effects. The ultimate aim of personalized medicine is to individualize health care by using knowledge of patient’s – health history, behaviours, environments and genetic variation. Pharmacogenomics helps to improve the diagnosis of the underlying cause of the disease and allow the selection of a specific drug treatment, with fever side effects. In this review we will discuss about polymorphism based on genetic profile of the people to its molecular level and its future prospects.

In 2015, Brazil was faced with the cocirculation of three arboviruses of major public health importance. The emergence of Zika virus (ZIKV) presents new challenges to both clinicians and public health authorities. Overlapping clinical features between diseases caused by ZIKV, Dengue (DENV) and Chikungunya (CHIKV) and the lack of validated serological assays for ZIKV make accurate diagnosis difficult.
Methodology / Principal Findings
The outpatient service for acute febrile illnesses in Fiocruz initiated a syndromic clinical observational study in 2007 to capture unusual presentations of DENV infections. In January 2015, an increase of cases with exanthematic disease was observed. Trained physicians evaluated the patients using a detailed case report form that included clinical assessment and laboratory investigations. The laboratory diagnostic algorithm included assays for detection of ZIKV, CHIKV and DENV. 364 suspected cases of Zika virus disease were identified based on clinical criteria between January and July 2015. Of these, 262 (71.9%) were tested and 119 (45.4%) were confirmed by the detection of ZIKV RNA. All of the samples with sequence information available clustered within the Asian genotype.
Conclusions / Significance
This is the first report of a ZIKV outbreak in the state of Rio de Janeiro, based on a large number of suspected (n = 364) and laboratory confirmed cases (n = 119). We were able to demonstrate that ZIKV was circulating in Rio de Janeiro as early as January 2015. The peak of the outbreak was documented in May/June 2015. More than half of the patients reported headache, arthralgia, myalgia, non-purulent conjunctivitis, and lower back pain, consistent with the case definition of suspected ZIKV disease issued by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). However, fever, when present, was low-intensity and short-termed. In our opinion, pruritus, the second most common clinical sign presented by the confirmed cases, should be added to the PAHO case definition, while fever could be given less emphasis. The emergence of ZIKV as a new pathogen for Brazil in 2015 underscores the need for clinical vigilance and strong epidemiological and laboratory surveillance.
Zika virus (ZIKV) has been identified in 2015 in Brazil for the first time, causing outbreaks of an illness characterized by skin rash and absent or low grade and short-termed fever. It is difficult to distinguish ZIKV from Dengue (DENV) or (CHIKV) based on the acute clinical presentation. The virus is closely related to DENV, and therefore antibody tests also have problems distinguishing between the two viruses due to cross-reactivity. Recent findings suggest that in a minority of ZIKV cases neurological disease can develop, and that babies born from mothers reporting a ZIKV-like illness during pregnancy may suffer from congenital abnormalities, in many cases a small head or brain. Here we report about an outbreak of ZIKV disease in Rio de Janeiro in the first half of the year 2015, which reached its peak in May/June 2015. This is the first published description of a ZIKV outbreak in Latin America. It is interesting to note that confirmed cases appeared as early as January 2015. Cases were confirmed based on the detection of the viral genome in the blood of the patients. The clinical characterization of the confirmed cases and unconfirmed cases proved to be very similar. Itching or itching rash has been suggested to be added to the case definition issued by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO).

Since 2015, Brazil is faced with the challenge of three co-circulating arboviruses of major public health importance. For the last 30 years, dengue virus (DENV) infection has been the main mosquito-transmitted threat in the country, which has suffered several epidemics caused by all four serotypes, [1, 2] fostered by the widespread presence of its main vector, Aedes aegypti, in densely populated urban areas. [3–5] In spite of all efforts, a sustained reduction of the Ae aegypti population has not been achieved.
The emergence of Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and Zika virus (ZIKV) in Brazil [6, 7] poses new challenges to clinicians and public health authorities due to overlapping clinical features and the fact that validated serological assays for ZIKV that can reliably distinguish between acute disease and past exposure are currently not available. Most importantly, ZIKV infections are suspected to be associated with congenital abnormalities and with neurological complications such as Guillan-Barré syndrome (GBS) , while CHIKV infections have been associated with persisting arthralgia .
Both ZIKV as well as DENV are members of the family Flaviviridae, whereas CHIKV is an alphavirus of the Togaviridae family. ZIKV was first described in humans in Africa in 1952 and has recently caused epidemics in the Pacific region. [12–14] In May 2015, ZIKV was identified in Northeast Brazil associated with an outbreak of acute exanthematous disease in the state of Bahia, [6, 15] followed by several other locations, including the state of Rio de Janeiro. [6, 15–17] ZIKV was considered to cause a benign infection, leading to a self-limited disease consisting of rash, fever (often of low intensity and short-termed or even absent), and mild arthralgia and therefore did not receive much scientific attention until recently .
However, new findings suggest an association of recent ZIKV disease with GBS amongst adults and with congenital abnormalities (e.g. microcephaly and ocular lesions in neonates) born from women reporting a ZIKV-like disease during pregnancy. [19–21]
Here we describe the clinical, epidemiological, and virological features of patients with acute exanthematous disease at a tertiary reference centre in Rio de Janeiro during an outbreak of ZIVK in the first half of 2015. We analyze the temporal and spatial occurrence of suspected ZIKV patients over the time of the outbreak and compare the profile of clinical signs and symptoms in PCR-confirmed ZIKV patients with the current PAHO case definition for ZIKV disease.
The study was conducted at the Laboratorio de Pesquisa Clínica de Doenças Febris Agudas of the Instituto Nacional de Infectologia Evandro Chagas (INI), which is part of the regional Dengue-Research Center of Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ), a reference center of the dengue network in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Patients with acute febrile disease seen at this outpatient clinic are either referred from other health units in Rio de Janeiro, or are spontaneously seeking care as they live in the nearby district of ‘Manguinhos’—an impoverished neighborhood close to the FIOCRUZ research center with a human development index of 0.726, a population of 36,160 persons in an area of 261 square kilometres, and an estimated number of 10,816 households.
Since January 2015 physicians at INI/FIOCRUZ observed an increase of cases characterized by rash, with either absent or low-grade and short-termed fever, and sometimes associated with arthralgia and/or conjunctivitis. The disease was clinically distinct from DENV which led to a systematic syndromic investigation utilizing a specific laboratory algorithm, which included diagnostics assays for detection of DENV, CHIKV, and ZIKV (after the reports of ZIKV transmission in the Northeast of Brazil). The investigations were performed as part of the ongoing study on “Detection of unusual clinical presentations of dengue”, which was reviewed and approved by the local Ethics Committee (CAAE 0026.0.009.000–07). Written informed consent was obtained from all patients or their legal representatives.
For the purpose of the analysis presented here we concentrate on the first half of the year 2015. After the identification of ZIKV infection in a patient with no travel history outside Rio de Janeiro in May 2015, additional prospective surveillance at the outpatients' clinic was initiated in order to specifically identify patients with suspected ZIKV disease. Patients with acute onset of generalized macular or papular rash were considered suspected cases of ZIKV. We interviewed patients using a standard case report form (CRF) to collect information about demographic features, clinical signs and symptoms, and the severity of the disease (S1 File). Blood samples were collected during the acute phase (i.e., within 7 days after the onset of symptoms) and during the convalescent phase. Samples were stored at -70°C and analyzed in the Flavivirus Diagnostic and Reference Laboratory of Fiocruz.
Laboratory Analysis and Confirmation
Acute phase serum samples were tested by qRT-PCR for ZIKV and RT-PCR for DENV RNA . CHIKV qRT-PCR testing was performed for a random sample of 25% of patients as no patient tested positive and there was no on-going transmission of CHIKV in Rio at the time of this stud1y. Cases were classified as ZIKV infection if ZIKV RNA was detected in the serum.
Phylogenetic analysis of nucleic acid sequences derived from 10 random ZIKV positive samples (out of 119) was performed using 327 base pairs of the envelope protein (GeneBank accession number KT381874). The tree was inferred using the maximum likelihood algorithm based on the Tamura 3-parameter model as implemented in MEGA 6. The numbers shown to the left of the nodes represent bootstrap support values > 70 (1,000 replicates). The tree was rooted with Spondoweni virus.
The home addresses of the cases were georeferenced using Google maps. Statistical analyses and maps were performed using software R version 3.2.2.libraries RCurl, RJSONIO, ggmap and ggplot2.
Between 1st of January and 31st of July 2015, 364 suspected cases of ZIKV disease were identified based on the presence of acute onset rash with or without fever. Of these, 262 (71.9%) were tested and 119 (45.4%) were confirmed by the detection of ZIKV RNA through qRT-PCR assay. All of the samples with sequence information available clustered within the Asian genotype (Fig 1). RT-PCR assays using consensus primers for nucleic acid of other arboviruses, including DENV and CHIKV, were negative in these patients. No DENV RNA was detected in any of the 143 acute phase serum samples that tested negative for ZIKV.
Closed circles represent 4 strains of Zika virus from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 2015. The remaining 6 strains were identical to these 4 and are not shown here. The tree was inferred using the maximum likelihood algorithm based on the Tamura 3-parameter model as implemented in MEGA 6. The numbers shown to the left of the nodes represent bootstrap support values > 70 (1,000 replicates). The tree was rooted with West Nile virus.
Suspected ZIKV cases started to appear in January 2015, peaking in May (Fig 2). Their geographical distribution is shown in Fig 3. In spite of the clustering in the surrounding neighborhood ‘Manguinhos’, cases residing in other neighborhoods in the Metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro were also included (Fig 3).
The red dot indicates the Instituto Nacional de Infectologia, where patients were seen.
Baseline characteristics of confirmed (tested ZIKV positive) and unconfirmed (tested ZIKV negative) patients are presented in Table 1. The median age of these patients was 37 years (range 9 to 60). A majority of the cases were females (158/262–60.3%), and among these 73% were aged 15–49 years (116/158–73.4%). The same pattern was seen with regard to the confirmed cases only (60.5% female [72/119] and 76.4% among those in the age group of 15–49 years [55/72]). No travel histories were recorded for the confirmed cases, thus infections were acquired locally. Only 38% of the patients recalled exposure to mosquito bites. Arterial hypertension was the most frequent comorbidity recorded, followed by diabetes. Geographic clustering of cases (defined as more than one case in the household, neighborhood or work) occurred in half of all confirmed cases (62/119–51.1%).
The most commonly reported symptoms in the first four days of the disease were rash, itching, prostration, headache and arthralgia (with or without associated oedema) (Table 2). Although fever was not observed at presentation in the majority of patients (64%), 43 patients (36%) reported a history of fever not lasting longer than one day, or the occurrence of a single fever peak on the first day of disease. The median duration of rash was 5.5 days (range 3 to 7), and of arthralgia 9 days (range 2 to 21). Mild hemorrhagic symptoms (petechiae, minor mucosal bleeding) were reported in 21% of the confirmed and 11% of the unconfirmed cases, while no severe bleeding was observed. One patient was hospitalized with neurological symptoms consisting of peripheral nerve impairment, and is described in more detail elsewhere (Brasil et al, in press). No deaths or other severe complications were associated with the ZIKV disease in this series. Four women with confirmed ZIKV were pregnant. One had a miscarriage at 10 weeks of pregnancy, three weeks after the acute disease episode. The remaining three (two with ZIKV infection during the 18th week and one during the 35th week) delivered normal babies without any clinical evidence of infection or congenital abnormalities.
All patients had full blood counts performed. The median leucocyte count of confirmed ZIKV cases was 4,590 cells/mm3 (2,240 to 11,570 cells/mm3), the median platelet count was 201,000 cells/mm3 (102,000 to 463,000 cells/mm3) and the median haematocrit was 41.2% (33.2 to 50.3%).
This is the first report of a ZIKV outbreak in the state of Rio de Janeiro, based on a large number of suspected (n = 364) and laboratory confirmed cases (n = 119). We were able to demonstrate that ZIKV was circulating in Rio de Janeiro as early as January 2015. The outbreak began in the first half of 2015 with a transmission peak in May 2015. The clinical picture of the disease was characterized by the sudden increase of exanthematous disease with absent or short-termed and low-grade fever.
The early documentation as well as the detailed clinical characterization was possible through a prospective syndromic surveillance study, which included a systematic collection of blood samples for the detection of unusual forms of dengue. In fact, 11% of the confirmed cases date back to the months before ZIKV transmission was reported in Northeast Brazil, in May (Fig 2).
The detection of ZIKV RNA in the serum of acutely ill patients and the absence of nucleic acid of other arboviruses provide convincing evidence that the outbreak was caused by ZIKV. Although DENV is common in Rio de Janeiro, none of the 252 patients for whom acute-phase specimens were available, tested positive for DENV, which is surprising and possibly highlights explosive transmission dynamics of ZIKV. Patients were also tested for other pathogens at the attending physician’s discretion, but no other causes were found (i.e. CHIKV, rubella, cytomegalovirus, EBV, toxoplasmosis). Based on this study, there is no evidence that ZIKV was circulating in Rio de Janeiro before January 2015. However, a larger and more representative sample would be necessary to make a more definitive statement about ZIKV circulation in Rio de Janeiro before 2015.
The peak of cases was observed in May (Fig 2), after the rainy season—which is in line with temporal patterns observed in previous outbreaks in Yap Island and French Polynesia. [13, 14] In May 2015, atypically high precipitation was recorded in Rio de Janeiro , which may have affected the vector distribution and abundance.
It is noteworthy, that the first DENV epidemic in Rio de Janeiro in 1986 started in the same geographical area from where the majority of ZIKV cases reported here originated . This is likely to be associated with the high human population density, abundant Ae aegypti populations, the precarious socioeconomic status, and lack of infrastructure.
The observation that ZIKV cases clustered within households is interesting and needs to be verified in other settings. If this is a consistent feature, it could be consistent with a high vectorial capacity or hint towards other routes of transmission. The possibility of transmission via mucosal contact is supported by evidence of sexual transmission [28, 29] and by the detection of ZIKV RNA in saliva and urine. [30, 31] Further studies need to be carried out to address this question in more detail, with important implications on epidemiology and disease control of ZIKV.
The age distribution with a bias towards adults is consistent with the overall age profile of the clinic. Female patients were overrepresented with regard to males, which might be due to differences in health care–seeking behavior.
An epidemic of microcephaly in newborns in Northeast Brazil has been the focus of attention by public health authorities in Brazil and worldwide. There is emerging evidence that these congenital abnormalities may be associated with exposure to ZIKV during pregnancy. Among the ZIKV-positive pregnant women followed in our study, one out of four had a miscarriage in the 10th week of pregnancy. However, no further investigations were performed in this case. In a recently published cohort of pregnant women with ZIKV infection, we have described two miscarriages amongst 72 confirmed cases , although the real frequency of this and other complications is yet to be determined. More recently, the state of Rio de Janeiro has reported a tenfold increase in microcephaly cases in 2015 compared to previous years and, due to the long-lasting medical and economic consequences, it is of high importance that multidisciplinary studies are conducted to determine the incidence and the phenotypic variability of congenital abnormalities related to ZIKV infection during pregnancy.
The clinical signs and symptoms of ZIKV observed in Rio de Janeiro have many similarities with those described in previous reports and case series. The similarity and frequency of clinical manifestations between confirmed and unconfirmed cases supports the notion that the majority of suspect cases were suffering from ZIKV disease, which could be due to current limits of detecting low quantities of RNA within a potentially short viremic period and the lack of a reliable serological test to ascertain recent exposure and distinguish it from DENV infections.
As in DENV and CHIKV infections, rash was a common feature in ZIKV. However, pruritus/itching was a prominent characteristic of the maculo-papular rash in the majority of confirmed cases (79%) from the onset of symptoms, which can potentially help in distinguishing ZIKV from other arboviral infections. Enlarged lymph nodes, especially in the cervical and retro-auricular regions, were also found frequently, which led clinicians to consider rubella as an important differential diagnosis. More than half of the patients reported headache, arthralgia, myalgia, non-purulent conjunctivitis, and lower back pain, consistent with the case definition of suspected ZIKV issued by PAHO. However, fever was absent in most cases. In our opinion, pruritus, the second most common clinical sign presented by the confirmed cases, should be added to the PAHO case definition.
DENV, which has been circulating in Brazil for many years, was considered an unlikely diagnosis in many patients because fever was only observed in a minority (36%). When present, fever was usually short-termed and the temperature relatively low. From a clinical management perspective, it is important to differentiate ZIKV both from CHIKV and especially from DENV due to the need to monitor cases for possible evolution of severe and life-threatening clinical outcomes. Standard laboratory values (e.g. hematology or biochemistry) did not show a distinct pattern in the confirmed ZIKV patients and are unlikely to be helpful. The leucocyte count in ZIKV patients was in many cases moderately decreased as in other viral infections (< 5,000 cells mm3) and both platelet counts and haematocrit were within the normal range.
In this study, only one patient was hospitalized with febrile illness and a neurological manifestation developed afterwards (manuscript submitted). An increase in cases with Gullain-Barré syndrome (GBS) was reported during the epidemic In French Polynesia in 2013/14 , as well as in the Northeast of Brazil during the current outbreak. It remains to be seen if ZIKV is causally related to higher rates of neurological complications.
Our data suggests that in a previously naïve adult population, ZIKV causes a self-limited and mostly benign disease characterized by a pruritic maculopapular rash and absent or low-grade, short-termed fever. ZIKV-like disease was not a notifiable condition in Rio de Janeiro until October 22th, 2015. This partially explains why our data differs from the official figures, as the syndromic surveillance study that was implemented in 2007 (long before the ZIKV outbreak started) is more likely to detect changes in the clinical patterns of dengue compared to the routine health system. Similar to the dynamic in the Northeast of Brazil, a considerable increase in the number of microcephaly in neonates was registered in Rio de Janeiro during 2015. As of January 2016, 122 microcephaly cases were documented—compared to the average of 10 cases per year registered in the previous years. This increase could potentially be attributed to the first wave of ZIKV transmission observed between January and July 2015 in Rio de Janeiro. In Pernambuco, in the Northeast region of Brazil, 1306 cases of microcephaly were reported as of the second epidemiological week of 2016 which are attributed to the ZIKV outbreak in early spring 2015.
At this point, health services must be alerted to the potential for an even larger epidemic during the summer of 2015–2016 spreading to additional locations and affecting the susceptible proportion of the population that was not exposed during the last transmission season.
The emergence of ZIKV as a new pathogen for Brazil in 2015 underscores the ease with which pathogens travel between continents and the need for clinical vigilance and strong epidemiological and laboratory surveillance systems. The phylogenetic analysis somehow is in line with the speculative hypothesis that ZIKV was possibly introduced to Rio de Janeiro during the VI World Sprint Championship canoe race in August 2014, which included teams from four Pacific countries (French Polynesia, New Caledonia, Cook Islands, and Easter Island) where the virus circulated during 2014.
In 2016, Rio de Janeiro will be hosting the Summer Olympics and Paralympics games, which will attract a high number of national and international visitors. The threat caused by ZIKV has far reaching implications on tourism and industry. Reliable and sensitive surveillance of arboviral disease that includes a system for the detection of emerging pathogens is of paramount importance to manage the complex challenges ahead. Our findings have demonstrated that ZIKV was circulating in Rio de Janeiro at least five months before its detection was announced by the health authorities, which must be taken into consideration for future design and implementation of effective syndromic surveillance systems.

Debbie Worthen brings nearly two decades of award-winning journalism experience to the KSL Newsroom and is thrilled be working for Utah’s legacy news organization. She anchors the weekends with Dan Rascon and reports for the #1 rated KSL 5 News at 10 p.m.
There are countless things Debbie enjoys about working in local news, but storytelling is at the top of the list. Whether it’s meeting the remarkable people of Utah as they do amazing things, informing viewers of critical breaking news and issues that impact their communities or reporting on daily assignments like weather and traffic, Debbie is honored to be the one trusted to tell Utahn’s stories. She believes journalistic integrity and a commitment to accuracy have never been more important than they are now.
Debbie started her career as a writer, producer and traffic reporter while finishing her communications degree at The University of Utah before making the jump to a full-time on-air position. (Although you could say she caught the news “bug” at KOLT-News at Cottonwood High School.) After several moves across the country, Debbie and her husband, Brandon Gilbert, moved to Utah to start their family. They love everything Utah has to offer and can’t imagine living anywhere else.
Outside the office, Debbie and her family are advocates for at-risk youth and have fostered several children through Utah Foster Care. As a family they enjoy movie nights in the basement, trying new recipes and, a few times a year, traveling to exotic locations!

The UCSF Department of Medicine in 2020: The Importance of Collaboration and Teamwork
UCSF, and our Department of Medicine, are storied organizations, and both have much to be proud of. Our role in the founding of the biotech industry, or in addressing the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and in areas ranging from medical education to patient safety to health disparities… I could go on and on. We are in an enviable position, unquestioned world leaders in the field of academic medicine.
But, truth be told, this is a scary time to be a leading “legacy” organization. The stories of organizations that were the top in their class but ultimately fell as new companies entered the market just keep on coming. Whether your favorite example is Blockbuster or Sears or Kodak, it is not hard to find cases of world leading organizations whose primacy was threatened by new technologies, new ways of doing work, or the drag of their own inertia.
One of the most important insights about transformation is that no one individual, division, or department has all the skills and vision they need to transform. To stay ahead, organizations need to create the conditions in which people with various skills and backgrounds can come together to look at problems through new lenses, to apply insights from one field to another.
As we look back on the past few years and think about the coming decade, I’m struck by the importance of taking advantage of new collaborations to transform our work and grow our impact in a rapidly changing world of health and healthcare. Below, I highlight a few of the key areas in which teamwork and collaborations are essential to success – focusing on both successes and also some of the challenges that need to be addressed.
As I look at our clinical sites, an overarching theme is the creation of larger and more geographically distributed delivery system networks. This, in turn, highlights the absolute requirement of having first class informatics tools – ranging from electronic health records to telemedicine – to improve care and weave these networks together.
At UCSF Health, we’ve doubled our size and revenues over the past 7 years, partly through new affiliations with community-based delivery systems, including John Muir in the East Bay, Marin Health to the north, Washington Hospital in the south, and the Dignity/CommonSpirit and One Medical systems in several locations. These partnerships aim to allow our patients to receive UCSF-level care closer to where they live and work, and free up limited space in our academic medical centers in San Francisco for more patients who require the tertiary and quaternary facilities and specialists whose practices are based there.
At Zuckerberg San Francisco General, the installation of the Epic electronic health record last year linked the hospital and the many clinics in the Department of Public Health, providing more opportunities for collaboration. At the San Francisco Veteran’s Hospital, federal policies that allow patients to seek care closer to home have driven the migration of our clinics and physicians to new locations, particularly to the north, allowing veterans to see UCSF faculty closer to where they live.
And at all of our sites, we have embraced new technological approaches to care, including patient-centered portals, apps, and telemedicine, to create more convenient ways for our patients to receive care. Finally, leveraging our pioneering work in electronic consultation (“eConsults”) a decade ago, we are building on Rob Rushakoff’s inpatient diabetes e-consultation model to consider other disease states that might benefit from this kind of consultation. (We call this strategy “Targeted Automated Electronic Consultations,” or TACOs). All of these innovations share a goal of using new approaches and technologies to bring teams closer together, or to provide our patients access to new sites of care.
Our Department of Medicine faculty, staff, and trainees remain uniquely successful in research. In 2019, our people authored approximately 2,623 publications and secured 373 NIH grants totalling $209 million, again placing the department as the number one Department of Medicine in the U.S. in NIH funding. We have launched a number of programs to support our research faculty, including one we call “NIH-Plus,” which provides flexible dollars to our faculty with each federal grant they receive.
IN NIH FUNDING
Even with all our successes, we recognize that building new collaborations is essential. Under the leadership of Associate Chairs for Research David Erle (biomedical) and Diane Havlir (clinical), there were several new programs established in the past year, including PREPARE (PRE-Proposal Application REview), which offers our junior investigators feedback on their upcoming grant submissions from seasoned investigators, a new mentorship program for physician-scientists, and a team science grant that offers pilot funds to bring new teams together to tackle complex research problems.
Teamwork can also be facilitated by well-designed space. We are pleased that major new research buildings are under construction on our Parnassus campus (along with the many new buildings at Mission Bay) and at ZSFG – they will provide faculty and trainees modern space that promotes bringing together diverse teams to attack important questions. In the short term, we are slated to pick up a significant amount of new research space at Parnassus when the Ophthalmology department moves many of its faculty to Mission Bay in 2020. Far more research space will come on line in about five years, with the completion of the new Research and Academic Building in the current U Building space on Parnassus. While the allocation of this space is not yet determined, it will undoubtedly provide new opportunities for several large multidisciplinary research groups, including ImmunoX (which includes investigators, many from the Department of Medicine, addressing programs of fundamental and translational immunology), the Digital Collaborative (bringing together a variety of investigators taking advantage of digital tools and technologies), and the new Benioff Center for Microbiome Medicine. Similar efforts will accompany the opening of the new research building at ZSFG, slated for occupancy in 2022.
While our research productivity is the envy of academic health systems everywhere, we continue to be hampered by an underperforming clinical research infrastructure, particularly in the areas of contracting and the IRB. We have been working closely with the campus leaders in these areas to advocate for improvements – luckily, many of these leaders, including Lindsey Criswell (vice chancellor of research), Hal Collard (associate vice chancellor of clinical research), and Payam Nahid (associate director of clinical trials operations), are members of our DOM faculty and are acutely aware of the importance of having a research infrastructure that matches the quality of our faculty and our science. 2019 saw progress in these areas, but more needs to be done. A particular thanks to our director of research administration & revenue management Jon Rueter, who has provided the DOM perspective on these issues and led a pilot program to re-imagine the clinical trials review process for our division of hematology-oncology.
Our department has had an outsized role in the creation and implementation of our new medical school curriculum, named Bridges – which gives students early clinical exposure and an opportunity to work in a clinical microsystem to learn improvement techniques. The successful execution of programs like this always depends on strong teamwork. Our residency curriculum, under the leadership of residency director Rebecca Berman, is evolving to ensure that our trainees have strong exposure to all of the medical specialties, in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. We are particularly proud of a new program to connect junior faculty who aspire to careers in medical education with more senior faculty mentors – another example of working systematically to create and nurture strong teams, including mentor-mentee relationships. This program was developed by Anna Chang and Brian Schwartz, in their roles as Academy of Medical Educators endowed chairs.
There is one threat that emerged this year: like many programs across the nation and in other departments at UCSF, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) cited several of our residency and fellowship programs for work hour violations. All of our inpatient services have gotten busier, patient complexity has grown, and the care coordination needs of our patients have exploded, but our staffing and care models have not quite kept up. We are working with the leaders of our health systems to address these issues. Solutions will undoubtedly require a combination of larger non-trainee services, more support services on teaching teams, and, possibly, more trainees – the latter only when the educational environment can truly support larger programs.
Diversity and Leadership
We continue to work on diversifying our department and creating an environment in which everyone can perform at their full potential. After all, how can teams be effective if they are not diverse across a whole range of attributes, and if some individuals face structural or cultural barriers to full participation? Added to that, we need to be sure our people have the skills they need to be strong leaders, including promoting inclusiveness and bringing out the best in all of their faculty, staff, and trainees.
We have instituted many programs to improve diversity and leadership, led by Beth Harleman, Associate Chair for Faculty Experience, and Meshell Johnson, Director of Faculty Diversity. In 2019, a leadership training program brought together about 20 of our new division chiefs and other departmental leaders. Virtually all of our leaders have completed training in diversity, equity, and inclusion, and many of the School of Medicine’s diversity champions hail from the DOM. Our residency program has gone from 15% underrepresented in medicine five years ago to over 25% today, and there are new programs (including the School of Medicine’s Watson Scholars and our department’s Diversity in Basic Science program) that are providing crucial support for promising young faculty and trainees from underrepresented groups. At this writing, of 14 division chiefs recruited over the past three years, more than half were women and/or members of groups traditionally underrepresented in medicine. In 2019, two more DOM faculty were elected to the prestigious National Academy of Medicine, both women (Julia Adler-Milstein and Diane Havlir). Yet even with these advances, our recent DOM culture change survey demonstrated that the experience of our female faculty continues to lag behind that of our male faculty in several crucial areas. Eliminating this disparity remains a major focus of our department, with several initiatives underway at the department, school, and campus levels.
One of my favorite quotes came from the late Israeli prime minister Golda Meir: “Don’t be humble; you’re not that great.” It's a perfect reminder that arrogance is both unattractive and often a preamble to decay.
Our department is pretty wonderful, but the rules of the game are changing and we have to change with them if we’re going to continue to lead. One of the greatest changes is the need for new partnerships, collaborations, and teams – and to work even harder to value everyone’s contributions and create an environment in which all our people can do their very best work. With great humility but also not inconsiderable pride, we should all feel good about the progress we’ve made toward these crucial goals.

At the Texas Veterans Land Board (VLB) we share a passion to serve Veterans and Military Members. Labor Day gave us a chance to reflect on what we do. We can say it’s an honor to work with so many American heroes, their families and the greater support community. And we’re always looking for ways to improve.
While most Americans celebrate Labor Day with a day off, VLB never stops working for you. Our website is available 24/7. It’s filled with VLB program and service information along with applications, an events calendar and our Texas Veterans blogs. In addition, our digital assistant Maverick is standing by to help navigate our website and answer questions.
We love to hear from Veterans directly and the Veterans Call Center team is ready to help weekdays from 7:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. It’s a joint effort between VLB and our sister agency, the Texas Veterans Commission. In fiscal year 2021, the call center responded to more than 30,000 callers with questions ranging from “how do I start the loan process” to “where can I get help starting a business or find a job?” Also, we’ve replied to thousands of Veterans’ emails wanting general or sometimes very specific information.
It’s a big state to cover, but VLB has six outreach coordinators living and working throughout Texas. They are often present at local Veteran or community events to talk about VLB programs and services and answer questions. If you’d like a VLB representative to attend your event or make a presentation — either live or virtually — there’s a speaker’s request form online.
This year, for example, we’re happy to be back at the Texas State Fair in the GO TEXAN Pavilion run by the Texas Department of Agriculture. If you attend the fair, be sure to stop by the VLB table and say hello. The Texas State Fair is just one example of the events that VLB representatives attend to spread awareness about our only-in-Texas programs and services.
We hope that you’ll take a moment to follow us on your favorite social media platform. You can find VLB updates along with other helpful resources and advice for Veterans on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.
We started our Zoom@Noon webinars during the pandemic, but after more than a thousand people participated in a year’s time, we decided to keep it going. We begin by giving an overview of VLB and then open the virtual floor to questions. It’s easy to join our weekly Friday 30-minute VLB Zoom@Noon webinars by signing up on the events calendar. You can attend from home or the office.
This month’s newsletter survey will help gauge how many of our Veteran clients are using our services. We appreciate the many Veterans that trust VLB and use our services. | <urn:uuid:f879567c-bd09-4d91-add4-c386ecd1879c> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://medium.com/texas-veterans-blog/labor-of-love-were-working-for-you-1e7f9351e105?source=collection_home---4------17----------------------- | 2022-01-23T13:31:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304261.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123111431-20220123141431-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.93587 | 617 |

I beg to differ. Although "all of the guns" may have been sold at one time in gun shows (as one news report has it), a law requiring a waiting period and a background check would not have saved one life. These demented teens had been planning for over a year. The people who bought the guns would have passed both the check and the waiting period. So why pass the law?
Rick notes they have "tougher" gun control in Canada and there were still "copycat" events there.
The idea that we can legislate ourselves into some type of perfect Nirvana where no wrong, evil or injustice occurs is a fantasy of our imagination. We can imagine it, but it can never happen. Certainly it is something devoutly to be wished for, but in reality, there is evil in the world and we just have to accept that at times it gets the upper hand (usually not for long). We can never erase evil.
The killers of Colorado broke enough laws to have them locked up for a very long time. They knew they were breaking the laws. They must have known they had a high likelihood of being caught. Yet, they still planned the event. This was not impulsive. It was thought through, maybe not well, but thought through.
Passing more laws will only make more of us criminals and put more of us in danger of punishment from the state. So, be wary of calling for more laws as a reaction to this tragedy, especially ones that would have had no impact on the outcome except to add 10 years to the multiple life sentences that these young men are likely to serve.
Just had to say that. Getting conservative and crotchety in my old age.

The lifeblood of Lakeville, Minnesota companies doing business in the current environment depends on reliable access to The net. All companies, from Fortune 500 to small companies, have functions that rely on easy, dependable and quick Internet access.
Internet access will become increasingly important to us in the coming months and years. Our dependence on Internet access will only grow as time goes on.
Our uses of the net reach far and wide. From data sharing, video calls, and shopping to VOIP and email, the internet has a broad presence. What do you need? Maybe a cable modem is a sufficient solution. It could be that you need Metro Ethernet. Gigabit Internet? A 5 Meg Internet circuit, 10 Meg access to The web, a 50 Meg circuit, or a 100 Meg access to The net point: what is right for your organization in Lakeville?
Prior to selecting a service, your organization must figure out its needs. Will web surfing and email be your primary use of the web? Is it used to network with cloud servers? You may be hosting the data in Lakeville, Minnesota and remote sites rely on this.
What if you have a disruption in your high-speed Internet? Can your company afford a long pause or lull in productivity? Is uptime required? Before making a purchase, these are some of the questions that you need to answer.
Speaking broadly, all companies need high-speed access to the net. An analysis of the costs and benefits should be done prior to choosing the broadband internet that is correct for your organization. While various providers will throw around terminology like:
… the real issue is understanding what capability and technical solutions best meet your needs.
At any company in Lakeville, Minnesota some employees, if not all employees, need some type of access to the internet if they are to properly perform their job duties. There are countless reasons to need access to the net. Perhaps it is to order materials, to conduct organization research or speak with clients.
The solution you choose may be based on the number of employees you have or expect to have. If you only have a few workers, you may be fine with a smaller Internet circuit such as a 5 or 10 megabyte. If you have 50 employees who are using the net simultaneously, you may need more.
High-speed Internet may become less important if the majority of your employees primarily use an intranet system with limited graphics and video. On the other hand, Internet speed becomes dramatically more important when they are required to regularly download things like documents or videos.
Are you regularly performing backups? It is recommended that you do remote backups from every desk. If you are, you will need to support simultaneous connections out to the web to synchronize the backup data to collect.
Are you using a service such as DropBox or Google drive to share files? As people save files, those files are pushed to the cloud and then synchronized back to other people’s computers. Running all your services properly, including sharing files, requires that you have the right amount of bandwidth.
High-speed company Internet access like Metro Ethernet and gigabit Internet may be viable options for you depending on your location. They are almost always found in “lit buildings” in Lakeville that are already wired by a carrier. Adding this high-speed Internet to your office may be surprisingly affordable and easy.
While bringing Metro Ethernet to a new building can be an expensive proposition, bringing that connection to a suite within the building is not. Also, securing high-speed access to The Internet using gigabit Internet or Metro Ethernet often takes less than 30 days, depending on its availability.
Do you have your own organization servers that run APIs, websites or feeds for offsite offices or companies? Do fifty or so branch offices need access to a hosted application at your company headquarters? Are you a retail company hosting the POS system for thousands of chain stores? Do you run a law office that hosts the data for satellite offices in different cities or states?
When data and programs are hosted centrally at one main site, people outside that location must gain access. Those people are not able to work without a solid Internet connection. If you need multiple connections to function at the same time from many different places, make sure that your intranet solution can reliably support it.
The needs of an office with one employee web surfing may not need more than a cable modem or an inexpensive 5-10 megabyte circuit. High-speed dedicated circuits, Metro Ethernet or gigabit Ethernet are advisable for company headquarters. Multiple diverse connections require support, in addition to high speed. Do you think a cable modem is sufficient? It is probably not.
Bringing in a less-expensive circuit like a cable modem often comes with a price. Oftentimes, a lower monthly rate comes with the realization that you are sharing bandwidth with many different tenants and offices. You may experience slow downs. For example, although you subscribe to a cable modem with a thirty Meg connection, it can be difficult to maintain the maximum speed during busy times and peak hours. Only a certain amount of bandwidth may be available in a community. Many cable companies have limits on the amount they can deliver. That bandwidth branches off to different buildings and then to various tenants within those buildings. The 30-meg speed you are capped out sounds good but it is possible that you will never reach that speed during company hours. Will there be trouble if your expectation is set at 30 but you only get 8 or 10?
You can find a carrier who can provide dedicated and guaranteed bandwidth. In this case, your business receives full allocation of bandwidth. There is no sharing with any outsiders. Regardless of neighbors, or other tenants, you should have the full capacity of your circuit at all times.
With Metro Ethernet, for example, you can receive a guaranteed bandwidth in various increments including 5 and 10 Meg circuits, and 50 and 100 Meg circuits. In your office out to the net you can reach gigabit speeds with gigabit providers
In these cases, the carriers deliver high-speed to the building in sufficient quantity that they can then split their circuit to various tenants while guaranteeing each tenant is receiving their contracted speeds.
You can’t control everything. Even with the superior Internet bandwidth products that some carriers offer in Lakeville, Minnesota, problems arise and circuits can fail. You must ask yourself: “how do I lessen the chance of an outage? ”
Redundancy basically comes in two forms.
The first type is when one single carrier provides you with multiple circuits. This provides some protection when there are certain failures. Multiple circuits can help for example, when there is a physical line issue or a problem with a router port. Damage to an external wire or part can cause the failure of all of your circuits. A regional outage experienced by your carrier can have the same result. While there is some protection, there is also some risk.
Circuit redundancy can also be achieved in the following way: Import circuits using two different and distinct providers. Advanced routers and IP address allocations can be utilized to make it look to your users and the public that you have a single circuit. In fact, they are totally redundant and separate. This is called diversity redundancy and offers more protection that the first. Should one carrier have some trouble that extends to a greater area and is out of your control, you are backed up with a different carrier.
You should look for redundant circuits from providers in Lakeville that do not have the same physical geographic pathways, in order to get the most redundancy. If at all possible, you want to obtain circuits entering the premises on different sides. The circuits would be attached to telephone poles (or underground conduits) in different directions leading to different data centers or central offices. By doing this, if there is a significant problem such as a fire at a data center, you have redundancy in an alternative physical direction.
Although access to The web comes at a price, the price of unreliable access to The Internet is tremendous. Contemplate these scenarios:
Is your company on a cable modem? How many other tenants is your carrier servicing in your building? Are 14 other offices getting circuits? It is possible that during normal company hours, those tenants might be downloading large files or watching continuous videos. They might be getting a lot of phone calls. As the amount of available bandwidth diminishes, what happens to your phone calls? What about the quality of your calls? Will you lose calls? Inaudible (choppy) to your customers?
Your office is the center of your business. You may be a law firm that does file sharing or a retailer operating a POS system. All of your sites, whether 2 or 2000, count on your primary Internet connection to access and retrieve data. What if your circuit fails? Will it cause disastrous results of just annoy you a little bit? How much work, if any, can be done by your remote locations? Can they process transactions or new orders? Circulate necessary data? Make sure you completely understand your needs before you pick a solution. Maybe you are a corporation that designs and sells software and you run a hosted solution that is used by hundreds and hundreds of customers. You may operate a service like this: other systems speak with yours via an API to figure out freight prices, stock prices, to compile weather data or receive any other information that you provide. It is possible they will not be able to connect to your servers. Customers do not enjoy repeated outages. How long with they put up with them before looking to take their company elsewhere?
Your organization is completely dependent on the net. Should your circuits go down, your representatives cannot make outbound calls. Your reps have no way of answering calls, if they even know they are coming in. Looks like you are now out of business. While most reputable call centers are already aware and using redundancy, is it enough? Are you really getting the dependable service you need form your carriers? Are you using carriers that are truly reliable? Is the quality of your calls consistently and reliably clear?
Obviously, there are a variety of choices. The needs and budget of your company will both affect your choices. In summary:
If you are a small organization, with one location and you do not worry about redundancy, one five meg, ten meg, or fifty meg Internet access circuit may very well be enough to meet your needs. Find out if you are in a lit building. If so, the price of Metro Ethernet or gigabit service may be affordable. Prices vary based on your location and availability of circuits; speak with our engineers to find your best option.
You will need higher speed Internet access if you have a medium sized business in Lakeville. Your options are Metro Ethernet, gigabit Internet and higher speed circuits. Using different circuits and different providers will, if you choose, provide you with redundancy. This may be attainable without doubling your costs. Two smaller circuits may be cheaper than one. For instance, you may use two 50 meg circuits instead of a single 100 meg circuit. As a reminder; availability and costs may vary. You should speak with our experts to learn the options for your particular location.
Any company with more than one location suffers the greatest risk of problems. Redundant circuits are essential. Having several providers would afford extra protection. You can increase redundancy with switches or routers. Having redundant equipment can also minimize risk. Take a careful look at Ethernet access services, Metro Ethernet providers and gigabit Internet providers. Research other high-speed access to The web circuit providers also and make an informed decision. Finding the best combination of services, providers and equipment can go a long way toward helping your organization run as efficiently as possible.
Companies such as these require the following: Metro Ethernet, gigabit Internet and point-to-point (PPP) high-speed Internet circuits. In order to maximize and protect your uptime, you must have redundancy. You should have redundant circuits from multiple providers in addition to redundant hardware. You need to provide sufficient bandwidth to handle usage spikes without slowdowns or interruptions. Be sure to have the right circuits and hardware. They both must be able to support multiple, fast, concurrent connections.
Do you understand how great the risk of failing circuits and insufficient bandwidth really is? Your ideal single circuit or multiple circuits should stay within your budget while still meeting your demands. Selecting the appropriate mix of circuits and hardware can overwhelm you.
We have experts to help. Our engineers will do an analysis of your needs and requirements, and develop a free action plan for you based on their findings. Our experts will examine your current usage and demand. We’ll then generate a design that gives you the resources you need while keeping your company up and running at a reasonable cost.

I get great satisfaction cutting firewood and “stockpiling” fuel for winter, and I always put Sta-Bil in my gas if I know I will not finish the gas can. But I know if my Stihl chainsaw won’t start it is the gas(premixed with 2 stroke oil) If my knuckles are bloody from trying to start it, I dump the gas, pull it a few times to get the fuel out of the line, refill with fresh gas and it will fire-up on the second pull. My saw doesn’t like gasoline that has lost the volatile gases. Post-TEOTWAWKI I will be stuck with bow saws and axes to heat my house and all that 2 stroke oil I bought last month at your suggestion might as well be gun oil! Any diesel chainsaws out there?
I went to my Stihl dealer yesterday and asked about the ethanol chainsaws that you mentioned a while ago that are available in South America. He will look into ordering one for me. (But how will I get the unique parts if they wear/break?) I mainly wanted to know about gas/2stroke mix going bad quickly even with Sta-Bil added. The mechanic said that if you leave the oil/gas mix together too long before using it the 2 cycle oil dissolves too thoroughly in the gas and burns without lubricating, then scorching the cylinder! I guess I will start mixing only ‘just enough’ oil/gas mix. I am looking for a syringe to measure the oil to add to the gas also because I bought bulk package Stihl 2 stoke oil. I can’t be throwing away oil/gas mix that gets old, that would be poor stewardship of our resources. Its better to do our trouble shooting now rather than later. – Edventures
JWR Replies: The dearth of diesel chainsaws was mentioned in SurvivalBlog a few weeks ago . I concluded that: “…there were a few diesel saws made decades ago, but they never caught on, since diesels are inherently heavier than gas engines of the same displacement, and they typically have lower RPM.” | <urn:uuid:0993a189-92a0-4b17-a9a8-6446a52d17cf> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://survivalblog.com/2007/06/29/letter-re-chainsaws-and-long-t/print/ | 2022-01-23T12:17:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304261.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123111431-20220123141431-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.961983 | 461 |

STAFF REPORT ISB: Though entrepreneurs are the drivers of economic and social development in terms of growth, productivity and innovation, yet in Pakistan they are still in its nascent stages, which is described as the factor-driven stage on the entrepreneurial scale in the latest Global Entrepreneurship Index.
This global index is a mix of entrepreneurial attitudes, abilities and aspirations, along features of entrepreneurship that enhance productivity such as innovation, market expansion, being growth-oriented, and having an international outlook.
The Global Entrepreneurship Index highlights the efficiency of national start-up ecosystems by analyzing a host of individual and institutional variables and tries to divulge the bottlenecks that erode the environment for the same.
Along with other facto-driven countries with low GDP like Bangladesh, Uganda and African countries, Pakistan takes a 123 place on the Global Entrepreneurship Index (GEI) 2015 out of 130 countries with GEI score of 20.1.
When compared to South Asia region, the bottom ranking of the country signifies weaknesses in the attitudes and abilities sub-index, highlighted by lower scores in pillars like human capital, technology absorption, start-up opportunity, start-up skills, risk acceptance, and networking.
The bureaucratic red tape is a common in Pakistan that constrains entrepreneurial activity. However, the country performs better against the aspirational sub-index, which includes pillars like high growth, product and process innovation, and internationalization.
The report is cheery for US, UK and Canada where entrepreneurship has progressed from factor-driven stage to efficiency stage and finally to innovation stage.

This week Manchester United signed promising young striker Javier "Chicarito" Hernandez. The 21 year Mexican currently plays for Chivas de Guadalajara and will join United in the summer. Along with the return to fitness of John O'Shea and a thumping 6-1 victory for the reserves, it was a fantastic week. Oh, except we went crashing out of the Champions League.
I was really upset by the result in midweek, even more so than in the loss to Chelsea. I wasn't upset about the performance, it's just that going out on away goals after being ahead 3-0 is a tough pill to swallow. I thought we were the better side, and if we played Bayern 10 times we would win 7 of them. But football doesn't work that way. The first half was fantastic, Nani looked like he was going to emulate Messi's stunning performance against Arsenal and lead us to the semis. But another piece of lax defending (Carrick was far too weak against Olic) led to a sloppy goal and turned the momentum against us. Rafael's red card at the start of the second half--which was the right decision no matter what Sir Alex might think-- meant that it was always going to be difficult to hold on. Robben's goal was absolutely brilliant, but that doesn't make it a good way to go out. I guess we've all just been a bit spoiled by the last two years, going out in the quarters is respectable. But when you think that only a frail Lyon team was between us and a third straight final, Wednesday was an opportunity missed.
No in-depth ratings this time, but obviously Nani deserves a special mention for his performance. It was good to see Gibson starting and his right foot hammered home another great goal. Valencia played well, and I think that even thought Rooney was hobbled his presence and hold-up play justified Ferguson's gamble. Carrick had another poor day, and Rafael ruined a solid night by picking up two stupid yellows. Anyway, we play Blackburn in a few hours. Rooney is out but O'Shea may start.
One last thing, as I watched "El Clasico" (Madrid v. Barca) today I found myself rooting for Ronaldo. So I guess I do have some sympathy for the (ex)devil. But seriously, have you guys forgiven him--if he even did anything wrong--or do you root for him to fail? Highlights of the Bayern match and of "Chicarito" below. I'm quite excited about the signing and he keeps with the theme of signing promising youngsters (Chris Smalling) instead of established stars. I hadn't really heard any rumors about him--although I did read about him in the most recent FourFourTwo, but apparently he was scouted thoroughly all season. This may be stereotypical, but unlike most Mexican players he is not just a quick dribbler, but is quite strong in the air. Looks a good signing.

The Cure for Loneliness
Dr. Bill Howatt (CA)
Regular price $21.00
You can build authentic social connections - even while physically apart.
We are wired for social connection; our mental health depends on it. From a simple smile from a stranger on the street to a hug from a relative or close friend, we humans thrive when we feel connected to one another. And yet, loneliness is on the rise.
The good news is, you don't have to continue suffering in silence. In this powerful guide and workbook, renowned mental health expert and addictions counselor Dr Bill Howatt drills into the root causes of isolation and loneliness - including the double-edged sword of digital technology - and shows you how to conquer them to achieve a more fulfilling, enriching life.
Through a compelling mix of real-life case studies, self-reflection exercises, and cognitive behavioral techniques, you'll learn how to recognize your own self-limiting thoughts and behaviors, unlock your mental traps, and close the social connection gaps in all areas of your life - from the personal to the professional. Employers will also find tips for boosting psychological safety in the workplace and among their virtual teams.
No single pill or exercise offers an escape from isolation; the cure for loneliness lies in a combination of realizing where you're stuck, and closing social connections gaps in meaningful ways. But if you commit to doing the work, you can become who you want to be. You can have more meaningful social connections. Ultimately, you'll see that why you feel isolated and lonely may not be as important as what you learn to do with it.

Hightower: Mayor Giuliani's Bunker
Mayor Rudy Giuliani of New York City is a banty rooster kind of guy who seems to think it's his crowing that causes the sun to come up every morning.Not only is he full of himself, but he's been making a pest of himself recently, strutting around and demanding that everybody behave like he tells them to. For example, he didn't like the way New Yorkers cross the streets without going to the correct corner and waiting for the walk-sign to flash before moving through the cross-walk. So this Big Apple Big Shot has banned jaywalking in a city where jaywalking is considered a First Amendment right. Of course, New Yorkers have flipped him off and continue to walk as they want. More recently, the Mighty Mayor has taken on a beloved, New York icon: The hot-dog vendors, and all the other sidewalk entrepreneurs who purvey everything from knishes to umbrellas from their colorful carts, literally giving the City its unique flavor. Too messy, pronounced the prissy pontiff of proper decorum, so he's out to sweep the sidewalks of them.Now, though, His Giuliani-ness has made a move that has dropped the jaws even of jaded New Yorkers. At a time when he's cutting funds for libraries and child-care centers, Giuliani is spending $15 million of the citizens' money to build a [quote] "disaster" bunker for himself. This state-of-the-art facility will be bulletproof, plus it'll be able to withstand bomb blasts and hurricanes. It'll have its own electrical generators, a place to cook, and beds and showers for Giuliani and his family. He'll also have his own secure "red phone" so he can talk to the President, the Pope or whomever he might need to call for help. The Mayor's $15 Million Big Apple Bunker also will feature ergonomically designed furniture and special lighting to prevent headaches.This is Jim Hightower saying ... The Mayor claims his private bunker is necessary in case of an urban disaster ... but I think he's building a hiding place from those outraged hot-dog vendors. | <urn:uuid:6e1e58e7-72ef-4927-bd13-43f1737e3fc4> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.alternet.org/2000/04/hightower_mayor_giulianis_bunker/ | 2022-01-23T13:15:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304261.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123111431-20220123141431-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.970936 | 443 |

The Canon EOS M50 is an upper entry-level mirrorless camera with a 24 Megapixel APSC sensor, confident autofocus (for stills and 1080p video), small but crisp OLED viewfinder, excellent wireless, and becomes Canon's first mirrorless with 4k video, a fully-articulated touch-screen, eye detection and silent shooting options. Sadly the 4k is of limited use, employing a severe crop and only working with less confident contrast-based autofocus. I'm also frustrated there's no USB charging, especially since the battery is fairly weak. But these aside, the EOS M50 remains a highly compelling model with a compact but comfortable body, effective touchscreen, industry-leading wireless, confident focusing for 1080p video, and great colours out-of-camera. Indeed the M50 may be pitched as an upper entry-level model, but I reckon it's Canon's most compelling mirrorless to date. Coupled with a hotshoe and microphone input, the M50 will be as popular with vloggers as it is with those looking for an upgrade from smartphone photography. Recommended.
The Canon EOS M50 is a mid-range mirrorless camera with a 24 Megapixel APSC sensor, viewfinder, fully-articulated screen and 4k video. Announced in February 2018, it’s officially pitched between the entry-level EOS M100 and the step-up EOS M6, but actually sports some of the most advanced features in the series: it’s the first Canon mirrorless to boast 4k video and a side-hinged screen that can flip to any angle. Coupled with a hotshoe and microphone input, the M50 is likely to be as popular with vloggers as it is with those looking for an upgrade from smartphone photography.
Like earlier models in the series, the M50 employs a 24 Megapixel APSC sensor with Dual Pixel CMOS AF for smooth and confident refocusing, but depending on the lens you fit, Canon’s upgraded the autofocus area and or the number of AF points. The EOS M50 also debuts Canon’s latest DIGIC 8 processor, allowing a slight boost in continuous shooting (10fps with Single AF or 7.4fps with Servo AF), support for an additional compressed ‘C-RAW’ option that’s full resolution but around 40% smaller, eye detection, a new silent scene mode that employs an electronic shutter, and at last 4k video. Wrapping-up the specs are a 2.36 million dot OLED viewfinder, a fully-articulated 3in touchscreen that can flip to face the subject, and Wifi with NFC and Bluetooth, the latter providing seamless connectivity and GPS location tagging with your phone.
Canon may be pitching the M50 as a mid-range model, but if you can live without the greater physical controls of the top-end M5, I’d say the new features make the M50 the most compelling in the series to date and also a keen rival for Fujifilm’s XT20 and recent XA5, not to mention Sony’s A6300 and Panasonic’s Lumix G80 / G85. In my review I’ll find out how it measures-up and whether it’s Canon’s best mirrorless to date! I’ll start with two videos: a brief first-looks overview, followed by my in-depth review with Doug Kaye which is also available as an audio podcast below. After this, I’ve detailed a number of the key features and capabilities.
The EOS M50 is styled like a mini DSLR and available in black or white. It may have a fairly compact and light polycarbonate body measuring 116x88x59mm and weighing 390g with battery, but Canon’s designers should be commended on the ergonomics. The grip and rear thumb rest are generously-sized with a surface coating that ensures a secure and comfortable hold. Meanwhile there may only be one control dial – around the shutter release – but it falls naturally under your index finger. There’s also a small flash that’s raised by hand as well as a hotshoe that can accommodate external Speedlites or mount a microphone.
Round the back, the buttons are understandably small, but tiny raised edges on the four crosskeys makes them surprisingly tactile and easy to push; that said, I still found myself trying to turn a rear wheel that wasn’t there. Remember this is an upper entry-level camera with one control dial. Luckily the touchscreen features an excellent user interface.
The EOS M50 becomes Canon’s second mirrorless camera to feature a built-in electronic viewfinder. The image isn’t huge, but the 2.36 Million dot OLED panel driving it is crisp and detailed. Like all electronic viewfinders you can deploy all manner of shooting assistance including, on the M50, a live histogram, dual-axis leveling gauge, a variety of alignment grids, focus peaking and magnification, as well as being able to film and playback video; no zebra patterns though.
The EOS M50 is equipped with a 3in / 3:2 shaped touchscreen with 1040k dots. It inherits Canon’s excellent touch user interface which lets you intuitively tap your way through virtually every menu or setting, as well as pinching, pushing and swiping your way through playback. Suffice it to say you can tap to refocus for stills or movies, and also use it as an AF area touchpad while composing through the viewfinder. What makes the EOS M50’s screen really special though is that it’s the first on a Canon mirrorless to be side-hinged and fully-articulated, flipping to almost any angle including forward to face the subject for selfies or vlogging. It also means you can comfortably compose at high or low angles when shooting in the portrait / tall orientation.
The EOS M50 is equipped with Micro USB and Micro HDMI (Type-D) ports, the latter outputting a 1080p signal that can be clean so long as you’re not recording video at the time. In one of the M50’s biggest downsides though, the USB port cannot be used to charge the camera. Instead you’ll need to use the supplied AC charger and find an outlet to connect it. I know this is no different from other Canon mirrorless cameras to date, but the fairly modest battery life of the M50 coupled with the inability to topup over USB while out and about caught me out on several occasions. The moral? Buy a spare battery and remember to recharge every night. In terms of battery life, I typically managed around 150 shots per charge in general-use including a few minutes of video and wifi use; for video alone, I recorded just over three consecutive half hour clips of 4k on a single charge with no overheating issues. Be warned though, the battery indicator can rapidly fall from half-way to flashing red. On the upside, the M50 does at least feature an external 3.5mm microphone input, allowing you to upgrade the quality of your audio – a key benefit for vloggers. I used it with my Rode Video Mic Pro, although I should add the quality from the built-in mics was also pretty good.
Like all Canon mirrorless cameras to date, the EOS M50 is equipped with an EF-M mount for use with native EF-M mirrorless lenses; with an APSC sensor, all lenses have their field-of-view reduced by 1.6 times, so the standard EF-M 15-45mm kit zoom delivers an equivalent coverage of 24-72mm; I’ve pictured its coverage above.
The f3.5-6.3 focal ratio of the EF-M 15-45mm, like most kit zooms, is only capable of minor blurring if you’re into shallow depth-of-field effects. Here’s a couple of examples at 15mm f3.5 (left) and 45mm f6.3 (right). If you want greater blurring, you’ll need a different lens.
At the time of writing in April 2018, there were only seven native EF-M lenses, five of which are zooms and three of those are general-purpose models. Ultra-wide fans are catered by the EF-M 11-22mm, while telephoto photographers can go for the EF-M 55-200mm. If you’re into prime lenses, there’s the EF-M 22mm f2 and the EF-M 28mm f3.5 Macro, but sadly nothing in the standard 50mm or 85mm equivalent length with a nice bright aperture to deliver shallow depth-of-field effects. I’ve pictured the M50 above on the right fitted with the EF-M 22mm, with the EF-M 11-22mm in the middle and the EF-M 15-45mm kit zoom on the far left.
Canon’s solution to the currently modest selection of native mirrorless lenses is the EF to EF-M adapter which lets you mount any of the EF or EF-S lenses available, and it includes a built-in tripod foot to help balance larger models; I’ve pictured it here with the EF 50mm f1.8 STM lens, mounted on my Feisol TT-15 mini tripod. Adapted EF / EF-S lenses work very well on the M50, with full support for autofocus and tracking; the only issue is they’re inevitably larger and heavier than strictly necessary, and the adapter itself adds to the overall size of the package. So while it’s a useful capability for owners of existing Canon DSLR lenses, I’d still like to see more native EF-M lenses exploiting the shorter flange to sensor distance and only needing to be corrected for APSC.
The benefit of the EF to EF-M adapter is opening up access to the broad EF lens catalogue. Above are two portraits taken with the M50: on the left with the EF-M 15-45mm at 45mm f5.6 and on the right, the EF 50mm f1.8 STM at f1.8. Clearly the latter has the ability to deliver a much shallower depth of field and, coupled with the field-reduction from the APSC sensor, makes an ideal option for portraits; see my Canon EF 50mm f1.8 STM review for more details.
Like earlier models in the series, the M50 employs a 24 Megapixel APSC sensor with Dual Pixel CMOS AF for smooth and confident refocusing, but depending on the lens you fit, Canon’s upgraded the autofocus area and or the number of AF points. The previous Dual Pixel CMOS AF system covered roughly 80% horizontally and vertically, dividing the area into 49 points. Now when using the EF-M 15-45mm, EF-M 11-22mm, EF-M 18-55mm and EF-M 22mm, the area remains the same but the number of points doubles to 99. Fit the EF-M 28mm Macro, EF-M 18-150mm or EF-M 55-200mm (not to mention most adapted EF-S or EF lenses), and the points increase further to 143 spread across a broader area that covers 88% horizontally and a full 100% vertically. Disappointingly the EF-M 15-45mm kit zoom that’ll most commonly be used with the M50 isn’t one of those lenses that supports all the autofocus upgrades. But it still enjoys 99 AF points over an area 80% of the sensor width and height. I’ll talk more about the AF experience later in the review. If you prefer manual focusing, the EOS M50 also offers focus peaking assistance.
New to the EOS M50, thanks to DIGIC 8, is eye detection, amazingly another first for a Canon camera. This can be enabled if you have face detection already activated, after which the camera will seek out the closest human eye and focus on it; note Canon suggested at the launch that it might recognize non-human eyes, but it failed to do so on the dogs I pointed it at. Unlike Sony’s mirrorless cameras, eye detection on the M50 won’t work with continuous autofocus, but at least it’s now available as a first step. I took the portrait above using the EF-M 22mm f2 at f2.
In another first for a Canon, the M50 now offers a Silent Mode that employs an electronic shutter to operate without any sound at all. It’s deployed via a SCN preset though which means it’s automatic exposure only, and sadly it doesn’t support continuous autofocus (as you’re shooting), burst shooting or eye-detection, nor does it extend the range of shutter speeds either, although at least there is the option to still record in RAW if desired. As such the silent mode is fairly basic on the M50, especially compared to rivals who’ve offered electronic shutter options for some time. But again at least it’s now available, and another benefit of DIGIC 8.
The Silent Mode is ideal for quiet environments like this shot I took inside Amiens Cathedral with the EF-M 11-22mm; it’s so nice to take photos without any sound in these situations.
You may wonder why you wouldn’t use electronic shutters all of the time. Well apart from the fact the EOS M50’s Silent Mode limits your control over exposure and focus, there’s the issue shared with most cameras where relatively slow sensor readout means any subjects – or backgrounds – in motion can become skewed. In the three examples above, I was panning the camera to follow the action while taking the photo. In normal exposure modes, there’s no problem but when using the electronic shutter in Silent Mode, the background has become horizontally stretched due to the sensor readout. In more extreme cases, vertical lines like streetlights appear to be leaning diagonally. Again to be fair this is an issue that faces most electronic shutters so it’s not a criticism of the M50 alone, but remains an important issue to be aware of.
DIGIC 8 finally brings a compressed RAW option. The M50’s C-RAW mode captures full resolution images but compresses their size by around 40%, thereby giving you the flexibility of post-processing without consuming as much space on your card. Typically my standard RAW files on the M50 measured around 33MB, compared to around 22MB for C-RAW versions of the same composition. Meanwhile, the standard RAW files employ a new CR3 format so you’ll need to update your processing software unless you’re using Canon’s own supplied applications; alternatively the M50 supports in-camera processing of RAW files in playback, allowing you to adjust the brightness, white balance, picture style, auto lighting optimizer, noise reduction, JPEG output quality, lens corrections and colour space.
Turn the mode dial to Creative Filters and you can apply Grainy B&W, Soft Focus, Fish-eye, Water Painting, Toy Camera, Miniature or four different HDR effects. Most allow you to adjust the intensity of the effect, although the end result is only saved as a JPEG. You can however apply any of the effects to existing JPEGs using the Q menu in playback, so if you’re not 100% committed to an effect you could always shoot a normal version and make alternatives in playback later. If you’re into movies, you can apply an optional miniature effect to video too, albeit only in 1080 / 25p / 30p. Sadly though there’s still no panorama function on the M50, not even panorama assistance.
DIGIC 8 allows the EOS M50 to shoot bursts at up to 10fps with single AF or up to 7.4fps with continuous AF. I tried shooting my friend Ben cycling towards me with the M50 fitted with the EF 85mm f1.8 at f1.8. Of the three AF modes available, I found Zoned area the least effective for an approaching cyclist. The single AF area proved most effective so long as you could keep it positioned over the subject – something that can be tricky with the small delay between shots in the viewfinder. The tracking or face detect AF mode could also prove effective, but the former requires you to tap on or select the desired subject which can also prove difficult when they’re in motion and you’re using a longer focal length. At the top speed I also managed 88 Large JPEGs or nine RAW frames with continuous AF before the camera paused. That said, I still managed to grab useful focused sequences above 7fps and there’s a selection above.
The EOS M50 is equipped with Wifi, complemented by NFC and Bluetooth to aid the connection. Canon’s wireless implementation is one of the best around, with Bluetooth maintaining a low power link between your phone and camera, seamlessly geo-tagging images (if desired) and offering an instant remote shutter control.
With your M50 paired with your phone over Bluetooth, you can set them up to automatically geo-tag images as you shoot without any interaction; all you need to do is ensure the Canon app is running on your phone, after which you’ll see a GPS icon appear on the camera’s screen moments after powering it up. I used it to geo-tag most of the images in my samples gallery. Here’s one with the location entered into Google maps.
The Canon app also offers a simple Bluetooth remote control which works like a basic cable release. This lets you remotely trigger the shutter for stills or movies, as well as keeping it open for Bulb long exposures. I used it above to keep the shutter open for two minutes. Bluetooth’s speed means there may be no live image or exposure control in this mode, but the connection is instant with no lag, nor any delay with a Wifi connection. If you prefer full remote control though, that’s also available over Wifi.
Bluetooth can also sort out the Wifi connection for you for browsing and copying images or offering a full remote experience with exposure and focus control and a live image.
Just tap Images on Camera or Remote Live Shooting and the app will use Bluetooth to enable Wifi on the phone and camera, and take care of connecting them for you. It’s completely seamless and works a treat. You can even set the app to automatically transfer images to your phone as you take them, or sync them onto a computer once the camera’s connected to the same Wifi network. It’s also possible to configure the camera to maintain a Bluetooth connection when it’s switched-off, allowing you to remotely access the camera with your phone and copy images over, even if the camera itself is powered-off and stored in your bag; I did this numerous times to access and post images without having to even take the M50 out of my backpack.
Canon EOS M50 movie mode
The EOS M50 can film 720 video at 50 or 60p, 1080 video at 24, 25, 30, 50 or 60p, and in a first for a Canon mirrorless (or indeed any of their consumer models), 4k UHD at 24 or 25p. You can film for a second shy of half an hour in any of these modes and I didn’t experience any over-heating issues. In terms of battery life, I managed just over three consecutive half hour clips in 4k / 25p. In the video below I’ll detail the movie mode and compare the quality and AF performance between the 4k and 1080p modes.
There’s also slow motion available in 720p at 100 or 120fps, depending on region, interpreted in-camera to 25 or 30p for a four times slowdown. Note there’s no audio recorded nor autofocus available in this mode.
Video filmed in 720p and 1080p uses the full sensor width with no reduction in the horizontal field of view (even in 720 slow motion), but 4k takes a 1:1 crop from the middle of the frame, resulting in a 1.56x reduction; this in turn means it’s hard to film wide-angle in 4k, while the tight crop makes the M50’s 4k mode more susceptible to rolling shutter artefacts. In the image above, the outer edge of the red frame indicates the coverage of 4k compared to 1080 when using the same lens.
If you film in 720p or 1080p, the M50 can deploy Dual Pixel CMOS AF for smooth and confident refocusing without hunting. Sadly Dual Pixel CMOS AF is not available in 4k though, with the M50 reverting to a contrast-based autofocus system that’s less confident with more visible hunting.
As such, 4k on the M50 is of limited use compared to the 1080 and 720 modes: the severe crop and susceptibility to rolling shutter coupled with basic autofocus means it’s best-suited to tripod-based clips that don’t need wide-angle coverage. That said, if the conditions are favourable, the M50’s 4k footage can certainly look good, but it’s not up to the quality or usability of 4k on models like Sony’s A6300 or the Lumix G80 / G85. Even Fujifilm’s XT20 with its 10 minute clip limits proves more flexible overall for 4k. So it’s best to consider the M50 mostly as a 1080 camera, at which it’s fortunately very good.
Vloggers in particular will love the M50 for its combination of a decent-sized APSC sensor, excellent autofocus and face detection (at least for 1080p), microphone input and side-hinged touchscreen which can flip to face the subject. That said, I found the M50’s built-in mics were already pretty good. I’ve put together a vlogging demo in 1080p above.
The M50 also offers additional digital stabilisation for movies with standard and enhanced modes taking gradually tighter crops in order to have some padding around the edges to work with. Enabling digital stabilisation can certainly smooth-out some wobbles, and the enhanced mode even more so, but each comes at the cost not just of a tighter field-of-view, but also reduced quality due to the pixel-wrangling.
4k video in particular suffers the most as the M50 already starts with a 1:1 crop when there’s no digital stabilisation, so taking a further crop means capturing less than 4k resolution and scaling it up. Then there’s the impact of the additional crop: in 4k, you’re looking at 1.56x without digital IS, 1.75x with digital IS and a whopping 2.2x with the enhanced mode, all on top of the sensor’s 1.6x thanks to its APSC size. So even with the widest EF-M 11-22mm zoom at 11mm, filming in 4k on the M50 will transform it into a 28mm equivalent without digital IS, and 31mm or 39mm with digital IS or enhanced IS respectively. Meanwhile the EF-M 15-45mm kit zoom at 15mm becomes over 50mm equivalent in 4k with enhanced stabilisation.
Finally, the M50 offers timelapse video facilities with the option to encode the result in 1080p or 4k. There’s three preset scenes designed for capturing subjects like people walking or clouds in a sky, or you can enter custom settings. Above is an example I filmed using the first scene, capturing 300 images at three second intervals; I used the EF 85mm f1.8 here for a compressed perspective and shallow depth-of-field.

Thurlow will report to Mark Patterson, CEO of GroupM Asia-Pacific, and join the network’s APAC executive committee.
The agency’s CEO for Philippines, Puneet Arora, will replace Thurlow, taking responsibility for three Southeast Asia markets: He will manage Singapore and also have "sub-regional responsibility" as chairman of The Philippines and Thailand, according to GroupM.
Arora’s replacement in the Philippines will be announced shortly, the agency said.

May you have a blessed Father's Day!
I want you to be able to celebrate in the fact that all believers in Christ can forever celebrate the Father's love, which is now and forevermore theirs through faith in Christ.
Today I want to glorify the Father who sent His Son to rescue me, and I want to celebrate the Son who loved His Father enough to come and give His life as a ransom, in order to redeem my life from the slave market of sin and death.
Because of the value of whose blood was shed, I can now live in light of the truth that ALL my sins are forgiven, and that I already have peace with my Father who is in heaven, having been reconcilled to Him through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I truly long for the day when I will see the Father through the Son, who once said "If you have seen me you have seen the Father."
If you have received the love of the Father, walk in light of this love, and share the love, and joy, and peace, and righteousness you have freely received, with someone who can use some hope today.
Yours in Christ, | <urn:uuid:bc06045d-3ff8-4026-9edb-366b511673e2> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.capitolcom.org/arkansas/News/3740 | 2022-01-23T12:05:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304261.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123111431-20220123141431-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.972339 | 250 |

Things to Check Before Getting One
To get a good night’s sleep, you need to have a comfortable pillow. And for that, you will actually need to consider a few things before buying a pillow because settling down for an average one isn’t the way to go.
But if you aren’t an expert in this field, then it’s pretty normal for you to be clueless about which features you should be looking for. Hence, in this section of the article, we will be solely discussing that.
If you keep all the essential aspects in mind, then you are sure to find the perfect pillow for yourself in no time!

The material of a pillow determines a lot of things– starting from its lifespan to the amount of comfort it will be providing.
Therefore, you should choose good quality material. For instance, we would recommend you to go for memory foam and latex, as those are comfortable and long-lasting.
On the other hand, you should avoid low-density polyfoam and polyester at all costs since they won’t last long.
The height of a pillow is often referred to as its loft. And they usually come with three options: high, medium, and low.
Now, which height you should be going for depends on your sleeping position. And whichever it is, you should make sure it doesn’t strain your body parts as it will cause your joints to ache.
You can also customize the loft by adding or removing filling according to your convenience.
To make sure your spine is kept in alignment, you need to get enough support from your pillow, which is determined by its size, level of firmness, and loft.
In this case, you should make sure that your shoulders, neck, and head are properly supported so they don’t ache after you wake up.
Level of Firmness
When it comes to pillows, you will find that they range from soft to firm. In this case, there are three factors that should be considered: sleeping position, body weight, and personal preference.
Considering these three factors, you should choose the best firmness level for yourself to make sure all parts of your body are comfortable while your spine is aligned properly.
Shape and Customization
The shape of the pillow should get customized according to your sleeping position and natural curve – that’s how you will know that it’s a good pillow.
Hence, no matter whether the pillow is square or round, you should make sure that the shape is customized according to your needs.
Pillows are available at a wide range of prices, which makes it only easier for you to make a budget.
You can get reasonable ones within 10-30 dollars. However, if you are looking for something more luxurious, then the price can exceed 100 dollars. So, no matter what your budget and preference are, you can find a suitable one.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Should stomach sleepers use a pillow?
The good news for stomach sleepers is that, unlike other positions, you can ditch the pillow in this one. In fact, not using a pillow can let your neck remain in a more neutral position. But you will have to turn your head, which can strain the joints of your neck, so you should be careful.
- Where to put a pillow if you sleep on your stomach?
When sleeping on your stomach, you should make sure to use a thin pillow, and if possible, no pillow at all. The pillow should be placed under your pelvis, which will keep your back in a more natural position, taking extra pressure off your spine.
- Where do I put my arms when sleeping on my side?
When sleeping on your side, you should make sure your arms are by your side. That is because, if you sleep with your arms over your head, then that can pinch your lower shoulder, and you wouldn’t want that. Moreover, you can also keep a pillow between your legs if necessary.
- Why is stomach sleeping bad?
While you sleep on your stomach, most of your weight concentrates on the middle of your body. As a result, your back and spine become strained, which prohibits you from maintaining a natural spine position while sleeping. This can result in joint pain and such from time to time.
- What sort of pillow is ideal for stomach sleepers?
If you are a stomach sleeper, then you will benefit the most from a soft or medium-firm pillow. But you will need to make sure that it keeps your neck and head at a comfortable angle because otherwise, you might develop pain in your neck, which you wouldn’t want.
- Which sleeping position is the healthiest?
Out of all the sleeping positions, the healthiest option is sleeping on your back. That is because this position will allow your neck, head, and spine to remain in a natural orientation. Hence, there will be no pressure on those areas, so you won’t experience pain.
- Is memory foam bad for stomach sleepers?
Memory foam isn’t bad for a stomach sleeper, but there’s a certain weight limit that should be considered when getting this material – which is 130-230 pounds. This material adjusts according to the user’s weight and body temperature, hence, you should consider that before getting it.
Remember that the foremost priority when getting a pillow is your comfort. If it fails to provide proper coziness, then it’s an absolute waste of money. So consider all the factors that will provide that before you get a pillow.

Janzen Jackson, 6-foot-1, 185 pounds
ESPN 150 Watch List cornerback
Barbe (Lake Charles, La.)
When first viewing ESPN 150 Watch List prospect Janzen Jackson (Lake Charles, La./Barbe) on film, his highly-coveted blend of size and speed at the corner position immediately opened our eyes. Surprisingly, the further we watched this talented prospect, it was his polished fundamentals at the high school level that actually drew the highest praise.
Jackson is one the better form-tacklers in this class, an attribute often overlooked in today's up-tempo game. Aside from his tackling, his overall technique at the position is just as advanced and impressive.
The LSU-bound defensive back has been crafting his skills at the position for quite some time under the tutelage of a certain defensive backs coach with a special relationship to the 6-foot-1 corner -- his father Lance Guidry.
Guidry, in his second stint as an assistant coach at FCS power McNeese State, started training his son at an early age on the nuances of the position. Judging by his performance on film, the 2009 Under Armour All-American was a quick learner.
"I use to live with my dad during the summers and attended the football camps at McNeese State when I was only in grade school," recalled Jackson.
It was at those camps Jackson began transforming himself from a fine athlete into a promising corner. The extra work on the field with his father coupled with the competition against older players helped his development and much-needed confidence at the position. Work beyond the McNeese practice fields during the hot Louisiana summer nights in their own backyard proved equally beneficial.
"I was always just an offensive skill player because I think that is where the better athletes on a team usually play," recalled Jackson. "My dad is the one who turned me into a DB and took the time to teach me how to play the position."
Jackson's summer visits soon evolved into a permanent stay with his father during seventh grade. Jackson admits he was at an impressionable age when a fulltime father-figure was needed and the football mentoring was actually just a bonus. The maturation process quickly accelerated both on and off the field for the elite cornerback prospect.
However, it was perhaps an unselfish coaching move by his father that may have molded Jackson into the highly-coveted cornerback prospect we see today.
Guidry decided to step down from his role as McNeese State's defensive coordinator and secondary coach to accept the head coaching job at Carencro High School prior to Jackson's enrollment. He could not pass up the opportunity to coach and have a direct influence on his son during his high school career.
Like most father and son coaching relationships, Jackson said his dad treated him just like any other player on the Carencro roster. There was actually more criticism than praise at times, and Jackson even acknowledged his father's head coaching role often reduced the individual DB training to which he was accustomed.
However, Jackson said what he missed on physical teaching he soaked up in mental critique and advice around the house. Although he never pushed football on his son, Guidry was forthcoming in helping him improve weaker areas of his game in order to fulfill his goals of playing at the D-I level. He often used his former corners at McNeese State as examples, accentuating the positive and negatives of their play. The two main areas Jackson recalls his dad working with him on are actually his better attributes today on film, a direct testament to a coach's sharp teaching and player's desire to excel.
"I use to just come up for the big hit without wrapping up. I was not a good open-field tackler," recalled Jackson.
Guidry boldly stated to his son that his D-I dreams may be just that if he did not start improving the weaker area of his game college scouts often scrutinized. The advice was simple, yet effective, and still seems to be implanted in Jackson's head today with how quickly he reiterated it.
"The feet and the head will move but the hips won't," recalled Jackson referring to a corner's concentration on the ball carrier's hips to make the reliable, open-field tackle.
Guidry also advised his star corner to quit looking for the big hits -- they would eventually come -- and concentrate on the making the tackle.
As Jackson looks back, tackling was always important in his father's eyes but no one attribute took precedence over good hips. The fluid corner quickly and methodically spouted out a similar, catchy coaching phrase implanted in his brain.
"If you can't turn your hips, you can't turn and run," said Jackson, referring to a corner with elite speed who still struggles in coverage because of stiffness.
Jackson's father made another unselfish move this year opting to return to McNeese State instead of coaching his son for his senior season. The change will also take Jackson to Lake Charles and Barbe High School. Guidry thought it would be better for his son to play for another coach aside from his father before transitioning to the college level.
From what we have seen from junior evaluations, the coach/father has done a great job preparing his son for next level of football. The LSU Tigers are getting a polished in-state corner both on and off the field.
Jackson's Scouts Inc. Evaluation
Jackson is a rare defensive back prospect who combines safety size and physicality with cover corner speed and quickness. He is tall, athletically-built and utilizes his size well in both run and pass support.
Shows smooth footwork in his pedal and transitions very quickly breaking on plays in front of him. Flashes exceptional burst and plant-and-drive skill closing the cushion. Combines excellent anticipation skills with rare closing speed and explosiveness in space to undercut routes or flatten receivers. Generates great power in the short area and is a devastating hitter. Flashes good skills in deep zone coverage tracking and bursting under the football; possesses excellent ball skills and is a threat with the football in his hands. Great pass defender but could possess even better run support skills. Displays excellent range, pursues with sharp angles and can use either his upper-body strength to fight through the stalk-block or slip it with great quickness. Excels at setting the edge and containing the run.
A textbook tackler who breaks down in space and drives through ball carriers with rare force. Allowed to freelance a bit and will need to polish up his man-to-man and press technique, but he is a gifted athlete and should give his future defensive coordinator great scheme versatility with his excellent instincts and ability to play both safety and corner. A legit threat on special teams blocking kicks with his first-step quickness and burst off the edge.
Jackson is an excellent defensive back prospect with a supreme blend of size, speed and physicality.

Momentum strategies are one of the more popular types of strategies used by many traders. You would often see trading forums on popular forex trading websites discussing about various momentum trading strategies. Many professional traders also talk a lot about how they trade momentum.
This popularity is for a reason. Momentum trading strategies are simple, and it works. There are many traders who trade “Momo” type of strategies that have earned so much doing the same strategy every day. There is even a professional trader who have posted how he turned a few hundred dollars into more than a few hundred thousand dollars using the same momentum trading strategy.
The concept behind momentum is that price tends to move in the same direction whenever a strong price movement has occurred. This is the very essence of how momentum works even outside of trading, a large mass moving fast in one direction is very hard to stop. Step in front of it and you would be crushed. The same thing is true with trading. A large volume of transactions moving price in one direction is more likely to continue. Trade against it and you might regret it.
BvS Keltner Channel Momentum Forex Trading Strategy is a trading strategy based on one of the more popular types of momentum trading strategies. It uses custom indicators that are very reliable which could help traders profit consistently from the market.
- 1 Келтнер канал
- 2 Buyers vs Sellers Indicator
- 3 Трговинска стратегија
- 4 Zakljuиak
The Keltner Channel is a technical indicator which could be used to identify volatility, trend and momentum.
It is composed of three lines. Its middle line is a basic Exponential Moving Average (EMA) od cene. The outer lines are placed above and below the EMA line. Both lines are based on the Average True Range (АТР). The upper line is set two times the ATR above the EMA, while the lower line is set two times the ATR below the EMA line.
Because the Keltner Channel is based on an EMA line, it could also be used the same way as a classic moving average line is used. It could be used to identify trend based on where price is in relation to it, kao i nagib linije.
The Keltner Channel is also a volatility indicator because the outer lines are based on the ATR. The bands expand and contract depending on volatility. This allows traders to identify a market contraction or an expansion phase.
коначно, the Keltner Channel identifies strong momentum price movements. Price moving two ATRs away from the average simply means that the market has suddenly had an influx of trading volume pushing price fast towards one direction. This is the very essence of momentum and the Keltner Channel allows traders to visually identify such scenarios.
Buyers vs Sellers Indicator
The Buyers vs Sellers indicator is a trend direction filter based on market sentiment.
This indicator compares the strength of the buyers versus the sellers. It then displays bars on a separate window indicating the direction of the trend. It displays lime bars to indicate a bullish market sentiment and red bars to indicate a bearish market sentiment.
This indicator could be used as a trend direction filter where traders could qualify trades based on the color of the bars. Traders could also use as an entry and exit trigger by taking trades based on the changing of the color of the bars. Međutim, this should also be in confluence with other indicators.
This trading strategy is a simple momentum strategy based on the Keltner Channel and the Buyers vs Sellers indicator.
Many momentum strategies are based on a band or channel type of indicator. The Keltner Channel also works particularly well with a momentum strategy.
To qualify a strong momentum, a candle should close strongly beyond the upper or lower lines. A close above the upper line indicates a strong bullish momentum, while a close below the lower line indicates a strong bearish momentum. These candles should also have small wicks or no wicks at all to confirm that the candle closed with strong momentum.
The BvS indicator then confirms the trend direction based on the color of the bars it is printing. The color of the bars and the breakout of the candlesticks should confirm each other.

This trading strategy is a working trading strategy.
This type of strategy works well when aligned with a higher timeframe trend. It also tends to work well on a breakout after a contraction phase. Međutim, there are also cases wherein the breakout would occur right after price retraces towards the midline. This trade setup also tends to work well because the market is in a trending condition.
Not all trades would work out. There are cases wherein price would reverse almost instantly after a strong bullish breakout. This often occurs when the candle is exceptionally long and is too far from the mean.
Practice this strategy and learn to manage trades well as price moves in your favor. Master this and you could be earning consistently from the market.

Trial date set for couple charged with murdering 6-year-old adoptive daughter
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - The Waimanalo couple accused of killing a 6-year old girl they fostered then adopted were back in court Monday to submit not guilty pleas.
Isaac and Lehua Kalua appeared in court via video conference from Oahu Community Correctional Center. They did not say anything during the hearing.
Their court-appointed attorneys entered “not guilty” pleas on their behalf and requested a jury trial. It’s scheduled to begin Jan. 31.
The couple has been indicted in the murder of Isabella “Ariel” Kalua.
Authorities said the girl was abused for months and kept in a dog cage before she died.
According to court records, she died with duct tape over her nose and mouth.
Police believe she was murdered a month before she was reported missing.
Isaac and Lehua Kalua face an enhanced sentence of life without the possibility parole because Isabella was under 8 years old when she died.
Legal expert Victor Bakke, who is not part of this case, said that’s one reason the couple are being held without bail for now.
“They don’t appear to be a danger to the community at large,” he said.
“But what’s more important is that because they’re facing such a severe sentence, if they were to be convicted, that is a strong motive for them to flee the state.”
A hearing will likely be set in the next few weeks to determine if the Kaluas should be allowed to the opportunity to bail out.

Water quality monitoring used to be laborious, time-consuming, costly and in some rural areas, inaccessible. Stephanie developed a hand-held sensor that can detect various heavy metals such as cadmium and lead in five minutes, at a fraction of the cost of conventional measurement. It is also more affordable for public and private use, allowing for water quality monitoring to be conducted thoroughly and frequently. Using the developed sensing platform, Stephanie is currently working on extending the applicability of the sensor for other organic and biomolecule water contaminants as well as incorporating IoT for large-scale distributed sensing.

FDA warns Curative COVID-19 test may produce false-negative results
To reduce the risk of false-negative results, the FDA says COVID-19 test administrators must perform the test in accordance with its authorization and as described in the FDA’s Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers, which can be accessed by clicking here. A negative result does not exclude the possibility of COVID-19,” the FDA says on its website. Curative tests are used at a number of the city’s testing sites. San Antonio Assistant City Manager and interim Metro Health Director Dr. Colleen Bridger said the city testing sites use Curative tests only for symptomatic people. “Per the FDA’s emergency use authorization of these tests, the City has been using Curative tests for symptomatic individuals.
RECALL ROUNDUP: Pet food recalled after 28 dogs die of suspected poisoning
Dog Food RecallSAN ANTONIO – Certain dry pet foods are under recall after the deaths of at least 28 dogs, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Certain lots of Sportmix dog and cat food may contain potentially deadly levels of aflatoxin, the FDA warned. Midwestern Pet Food, Inc. announced the recall of certain dog and cat food, all with expiration dates of March 2 or 3, 2022. “Pets are highly susceptible to aflatoxin poisoning because, unlike people who eat a varied diet, pets generally eat the same food continuously over extended periods of time,” the FDA said. The investigation into the pet food continues.
‘Relieved’: US health workers start getting COVID-19 vaccine
Relieved,” said critical case nurse Sandra Lindsay after getting a shot in the arm at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New York. Shipments of precious frozen vials of vaccine made by Pfizer Inc. and its German partner BioNTech began arriving at hospitals around the country Monday. But we also recognize that this end is in sight,” said Dr. Chris Dale of Swedish Health Services in Seattle. A wary public will be watching closely to see whether health workers embrace vaccination. ___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education.
'Healing is coming': US health workers start getting vaccine
“I feel like healing is coming.”With a countdown of “3-2-1,” workers at Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center gave initial injections to applause. High-risk health care workers were first in line. It just represents a moral failing,” said Jennifer Nuzzo, a public health researcher at Johns Hopkins. And later this week, the FDA will decide whether to greenlight the world’s second rigorously studied COVID-19 vaccine, made by Moderna Inc. “We’re also in the middle of a surge, and it’s the holidays, and our health care workers have been working at an extraordinary pace,” said Sue Mashni, chief pharmacy officer at Mount Sinai Health System in New York City.

FDA-approved medical device removes blood clots in FLASH
While blood thinners are often administered to break up the clot, there is one FDA-approved device that surgeons can use for removal. Patients need immediate medical attention to restore blood flow. One FDA approved medical device allows surgeons to thread a catheter into a patient’s pulmonary artery to grab the clot. Early results show the device was safe in 230 patients tested, with few major side effects, and there was an almost immediate improvement in patients. It’s important to note that Dr. Toma reports no ties to Inari Medical, the company that designed the FlowTriever.
Families hope to reconnect with loved ones living in long-term care facilities after COVID-19 vaccines are distributed
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted 13-1 to recommend priority be given to health care workers and those living in long-term care facilities in the first days of any coming vaccination program. Eryn Morris, whose mother is staying in a long-term care facility in Seguin, is hopeful for what’s to come. “Back in March, they shut all of these facilities down,” Morris said. “Mainly the hospital staff working directly with patients positive or at high risk for COVID-19 and long-term care staff working directly with vulnerable residents and EMS providers and home health care workers as well,” Kurian said. The CDC’s advisory committee is set to meet again after the FDA announces emergency approval for the vaccine.
Don’t fall for fake vaccine scams, FBI warns
In the coming weeks, FBI special agents want everyone to look out for schemes offering fake vaccines. “The FBI has been closely following scams connected with the COVID pandemic,” said FBI Special Agent Michelle Lee. Like Lee, Croft warns about the red flags that may appear through a website, text message, email or a phone call. “I promise you, nobody will ever ask you in advance to pay in advance for a vaccine,” Croft said. You can report vaccine scams to the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.IC3.gov or your local FBI field office, which can be located at www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices.
How new, groundbreaking COVID-19 vaccines will impact cancer care
According to Dr. Amita Patnaik, clinical researcher for the START Center for Cancer Care, the effectiveness of the vaccines is beyond what an annual flu shot can produce. They are called mRNA vaccines, which is a category of treatment that is currently being investigated at the Start Center. “One of the hallmarks of cancer is the ability of cancers to evade the immune system and to essentially hijack the immune system. So, by giving the vaccine, the hope is that we can get the immune system to recognize those parts of the cancer that may be able to elicit a response that can actually attack the cancer cells,” Patnaik said. START is looking at two of these mRNA vaccines for cancer, but seeing the preliminary success of the new coronavirus gives huge hope for the future of cancer care.
‘We’re anxiously awaiting for it,’: Mayor Nirenberg says SA could see coronavirus vaccine in 4 to 6 weeks
San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg joined Leading SA on Sunday to discuss the timetable of when a vaccine could become available and what the local distribution plan looks like. “I’m told that, you know, within the next four to six weeks, perhaps we could see some of those initial groups have the vaccine available. “Our hospitals are our providers to go over a distribution plan once that vaccine comes in so we are locked and loaded in terms of being able to distribute the vaccine,” Nirenberg said. However, the issue right now is that the Alamo City is seeing a significant spike in coronavirus cases. On Friday, city leaders reported 936 new coronavirus cases, and on Saturday, there were 492 more cases.
Who will receive the COVID-19 vaccine first and how will it be distributed?
Every day is another day closer to the approval of a potential COVID-19 vaccine, and one may even be ready for distribution as early as next month. “The vaccine is being acquired by the federal government in the United States, and those allotments are being distributed to the states,” Alsip said. “Initially, the vaccine will be distributed by those who receive the allotments, which will be primarily hospitals, public health departments and so forth. It really depends on the distribution of the vaccine, availability and timing.”When will we be able to get the vaccine at most pharmacies, like a flu shot? “The steps used to create these COVID-19 vaccines are the same steps used to other vaccines.

FDA list of recalled hand sanitizers tops 200
SAN ANTONIO – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers not to use 203 hand sanitizer products as a result of having been deemed potentially unsafe or ineffective. The FDA says the recalled hand sanitizer products are considered unsafe due to methanol contamination or because they contain “concerningly low levels of ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol, which are active ingredients in hand sanitizer products.”Seven new products were added to the list last week. View the full list below or a detailed list which includes information about the manufacturer and reasoning behind a certain product recall on the FDA website. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that consumers use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent isopropyl or ethyl alcohol. The FDA is advising consumers not to use the recalled products because methanol - used in fuel, solvents and antifreeze - is poisonous to humans and substantial exposure could “result in nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system or death.”The investigation by the FDA into the use of methanol in hand sanitizers is ongoing.
Various fresh fruit items sold at Walmart recalled due to listeria concerns
Texas – Various fresh fruit items sold by Walmart have been voluntarily recalled due to listeria concerns. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration posted the announcement Saturday and said select stores in nine states, including Texas, are affected by the recall. FDA officials discovered Listeria monocytogenes on equipment used in an area near where the affected products are packaged. “Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems,” according to the FDA. Product codes of various fresh fruit items affect cut and/or sliced apples, grapes, mangos, pineapples and cantaloupe distributed by Walmart, including those containers labeled “Freshness Guaranteed.”Walmart stores are removing the recalled products from store shelves and Country Fresh has not received any reports of illness, the FDA reported.

Researchers create lab-grown protein for more accurate COVID-19 antibody test
A rush to get COVID-19 antibody tests distributed may have set us back in our efforts to accurately test for the virus. In March, the FDA allowed antibody tests to come into the U.S. without review. Test, after test, after test, is failing to accurately test for COVID-19 antibodies. To create an accurate antibody test, you have to create a protein that antibodies will be attracted to. If you’re hospitalized, you’re on ICU, you’re probably going to come out with antibodies,” Frazer-Abel shared.

FDA officials said they were aware of reports of adverse events associated with the listed hand sanitizer products including adults and children who ingested products contaminated with methanol that led to blindness, hospitalizations and death. New products were added to the list as recently as Tuesday with retail chains like Walmart and Costco having previously issued recalls for unknowingly selling the contaminated products. The investigation by the FDA into the use of methanol in hand sanitizers is ongoing.
Long-awaited new ALS drug shows promise at UT Health San Antonio
SAN ANTONIO – With so many troubling health concerns during the coronavirus pandemic, UT Health San Antonio has some promising news for those with ALS. Dr. Carlayne Jackson is an ALS specialist and professor of neurology at UT Health San Antonio. Many ALS patients die within two to three years and suffer from a rapid decline in motor function, and currently there are only two other drugs approved by the FDA to treat it. Five of the patients used in the phase two clinical trial were from UT Health San Antonio. One other positive finding according to Jackson is that during Covid-19′s use of telemedicine, the most vulnerable ALS patients managed to remain in better contact with their doctors.

Hand sanitizer packaged in water bottles, beer cans, kids food pouches, FDA warns
SAN ANTONIO Hand sanitizer is being packaged to resemble water bottles, juice, beer and even childrens food pouches, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warns. Ingesting hand sanitizer can be dangerous and even deadly, especially to young children. In addition to the potential packaging confusion, the FDA expressed concern about hand sanitizers with food flavors such as chocolate and raspberry, which could be dangerously enticing to children. Reports of hand sanitizer ingestions have soared as people have stocked up on hand sanitizers to protect themselves from COVID-19. From March through August of last year, the South Texas Poison Center received 549 calls for hand sanitizer ingestions. | <urn:uuid:8b93e791-f227-48f0-a024-9282898fde7c> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.ksat.com/topic/FDA/ | 2022-01-23T11:17:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304261.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123111431-20220123141431-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.944996 | 4,624 |

I’m gonna be your best buddy! My foster mom says I’m a Very Good Boy. I know lots of commands like ‘Sit and Stay’, ‘Come’, ‘Wait’ and ‘No!’ and I’m really good at waiting until I get outside to potty. I love to snuggle with my people, be near them and being held. I also love to run like the wind, bounding like a 13 pound gazelle! It’s important to have lots of exercise and a safe space to burn off my zoomies.
I can keep myself amused playing with my toys. When there’s kibble in my bowl, I’ll only eat when I’m hungry but I like to save room so I can beg for a bite of whatever you’re eating. My foster mom tells me it’s not polite to beg but I know exactly how to work those puppy dog eyes and look real adorable. Those tricks don’t work with her, but I keep trying!
We’re working on me not being so mouthy. I’m getting better about it but I still need to be reminded not to gnaw on people. I don’t bite hard, but worry that I might get excited and make a mistake, so it would be better for me to live in a home with adults who are savvy about teaching a pup like me or older kids who have experience with dogs. I get along with dogs and cats. I’m still young so, older gentle animals can help me with learning my manners. My foster mom says that I learn things quickly. That’s because I’m so eager to please … I want to be your best friend! | <urn:uuid:7ce839e9-9cc2-4103-8ff1-856edf5edf31> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.matchmadeinheaven.org/pets/jagger/ | 2022-01-23T11:22:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304261.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123111431-20220123141431-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.949575 | 378 |
A transfer-on-death (TOD) deed is a tool that has recently become available to Washington residents to assist with estate planning. It offers a quick and relatively painless way to transfer real property (such as a home) to a beneficiary once the owner passes away. But there are some issues to consider before deciding whether or not a TOD deed is right for your estate plan.
Transfer-on-Death Deeds in Washington State
A TOD deed, also called a beneficiary deed, is a legal method of property transfer first enacted by Washington State legislature on June 12, 2014. In general, a TOD deed allows a beneficiary to be assigned receipt of the deed to a piece of real estate upon the death of the original owner—without going through the probate process. For uncomplicated estates, this can save both the time and expense of probate court. There are some important requirements that must be met in order for a TOD deed to be valid:
- Testamentary capacity. A TOD deed has the same requirements of legal and mental capacity that comes with creating a will. That is, the person must be of sound mind and memory in order to make decisions about the disposition of his property.
- Properly recordable requirement. A TOD deed must contain the same information as any other properly recordable “inter vivos” deed—a transfer between living persons. In other words, a TOD deed must contain all of the necessary legal information that any other deed such as a quitclaim or warranty deed must have.
- Signed and notarized. A TOD deed must be properly signed and witnessed before a notary agent to be considered valid.
Once the basic legal requirements are met, a TOD deed must then be filed with the County Records Office in order to be valid. Once filed, it is then a “nontestamentary” document, which means that it does not require a will or probate court to take effect.
Weighing the Pros and Cons
A TOD deed can be a great tool for the uncomplicated estate plan, and there are other benefits along with avoiding probate. These benefits primarily involve retaining control over the property. The property owner (or grantor, in this case) is able to revoke the TOD deed at any time while he is alive, and the beneficiary has no rights or control over the property until the grantor passes away. The grantor also can (and should) make a list of alternate beneficiaries for the TOD deed, in case the primary beneficiary is unwilling or unable to assume control of the property when the time comes.
One downside to consider is that a TOD deed carries any mortgages, liens, taxes, or other claims that are associated with the property directly over to the new owner. If the property is in any way encumbered, this can leave the beneficiary saddled with unexpected debts if he accepts the deed. While probate court does take time and it costs the estate some money, the estate is bound to pay off creditors before distributing assets to beneficiaries named in a will or trust. This means, if the estate has other assets that can be used to pay off the debts on the property, the recipient may receive the property unencumbered by those debts, which can be a real gift.
A TOD deed can also get complicated with multiple beneficiaries. While you can choose multiple beneficiaries and each will receive an equal share, should one beneficiary pass away, he is removed from the TOD deed and the other beneficiaries receive equal shares of what’s left. There is no inheritance of a TOD deed claim. For example, if you have two children named in your TOD deed and one passes away before the other, the surviving child will receive the full share of the property. The children of the deceased (your grandchildren) will not be entitled to a share of the property. In cases like this, where you may want grandchildren or other family members to inherit, it’s best not to rely on a TOD deed, as it may not be able to reflect your full wishes adequately.

DETROIT -- The ball fluttered through the air more like a punt than a pass.
The throw from Carolina quarterback Jake Delhomme, under pressure from the Seattle defensive front, was as poor as any seen during the NFL postseason. And it was heading straight for Seattle free safety Marquand Manuel.
"Dear God," Manuel recalled thinking to himself, "please just let me hold on to this one."
He did. The first interception of Manuel's career came 12 days ago, on the final play of the first quarter in the NFC Championship Game. As Qwest Field went wild, Manuel weaved up the sideline for a 32-yard return to the Panthers' 17.
Two plays later, tailback Shaun Alexander scored on a 1-yard touchdown run to put the Seahawks up by 17 points on their way to a 34-14 victory and the franchise's first conference title.
Right about that time, one of Manuel's teammates approached him on the sideline. The two embraced.
"It's over now," wide receiver Peter Warrick said. "Let it go."
The two had a history.
Scan the rosters at any NFL game. More than likely, the lists will include at least a half-dozen players with ties -- be them at the high-school or college levels -- to the state of Florida.
"You can't run down the field on a punt team without running into a guy from down there, man," said Pittsburgh cornerback Bryant McFadden, from Hollywood and Florida State. "We're everywhere."
Thirteen players with Florida ties will be on the rosters for Super Bowl XL. Nine will suit up for Seattle.
"There's more here than I can even name," said Pittsburgh offensive tackle Max Starks, who starred at Lake Highland Prep and Florida. "We breed great athletes."
Great stories, too.
If you think the jawing between, say, Miami and Florida State alums comes to a halt after they've played their final game for their schools, think again. It just gets more interesting.
"If you had a good game against them in high school or college, they know," Warrick said. "Believe me, they know.
"It comes up, I guarantee you. Catch a pass and it's like, "Yeah, that's right. You remember me, don't you?' It's part of the deal."
For Warrick and Manuel, it was once a very big deal.
Rewind to Nov. 21, 1998. The fourth-ranked Gators faced the fifth-ranked Seminoles at Doak Campbell Stadium in a game with possible national-title implications. UF led 12-6 in the third quarter, trying to beat FSU on the road for the first time in 12 years, but unheralded quarterback Marcus Outzen -- who took over late in the season for injured starter Chris Weinke -- had the Seminoles on the move.
It was third-and-3 at Florida's 32 when Outzen dropped back to pass with the pocket closing around him. An ill-advised throw headed straight for Manuel, a freshman who was pressed into first-team duty when starting strong safety Tony George was ejected for fighting during pregame warmups.
What should have been the easiest interception of Manuel's football life instead took root as a recurring nightmare.
The ball slipped through his hands and caromed 5 yards downfield into Warrick's waiting arms. Warrick caught the ball, juked past a defender and scooted into the end zone for the go-ahead touchdown.
Florida State went on to win.
The play went on to haunt Manuel for years.
"I didn't have very many opportunities at Florida to get picks in games," Manuel said during Super Bowl Media Day earlier this week. "That day I did. It was on the biggest stage, too. I'll bet just about everybody in this building was watching. It was my chance."
Warrick went on to be a No. 1 draft pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in 2000.
Ironically, Manuel joined him in Cincy as a sixth-rounder in 2002.
Did he remind his rookie teammate of the old days?
"Didn't have to," Warrick said. "He beat himself up enough over it."
Manuel also vowed to redeem himself.
"I made a promise to myself," he said. "I swore that if I was ever -- ever! -- on that big stage again, I'd make a play that people would remember."
The NFC Championship Game certainly qualified.
"The demon was finally released," Manuel said.
Others took notice.
"I was happy for 'M&M;,'" said Seahawks wide receiver Darrell Jackson, part of that UF team in '98. "I know what that moment meant to him."
Said Warrick: "I can honestly say that no one felt better for Marquand that day than I did. That story needed a happy ending."
The next great Sunshine State story just might come Sunday night.
In the NFL, the possibilities are everywhere. | <urn:uuid:0b295314-544b-4586-8c68-2711e9c4286e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-xpm-2006-02-03-superbowl03-story.html | 2022-01-23T13:25:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304261.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123111431-20220123141431-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.982689 | 1,051 |
Recently we were telling some friends about how to use Pinterest for travel planning. Afterwards, we realized that there may be other readers out there who aren’t yet in on the “Pinterest travel planning” bandwagon. But they should be! After all, Pinterest has quickly become one of the best (and most fun) ways to plan a trip.
The Evolution of Pinterest for Travel Planning
Years ago when Pinterest first came out, we didn’t really understand what it was either. But from what we saw when we went online, it looked like the site was primarily used for finding recipes and household crafts / decor, planning weddings, parties, etc. At the time, we sort of forgot about Pinterest because we didn’t really think it was useful for us.
But oh how things have changed.
Fast forward, and now Pinterest has morphed into a much bigger social searching and sharing platform. In a world where wireless and mobile technology have taken over print, Pinterest is leading the charge in a new era of vacation planning.
Just a few short years ago when anyone wanted to plan a trip, they would more than likely go to the nearest bookstore and skim through the travel section. They would grab a Lonely Planet Guide or a Rick Steve’s guide to Europe. They may also browse some photos and articles in travel magazines, possibly even cutting out items and putting them in a folder or box for later.
But now, you don’t need to go to the bookstore or fill your house with magazines. You don’t need to clutter your space with boxes and folders full of cut-out articles and dreamy pictures. It’s all digital with Pinterest, and you have access at the palm of your hand anytime.
Now you can save your time, energy, and money. Just make yourself a cup of coffee and cruise Pinterest for travel inspiration. You can get ideas and start planning your next vacation all while sitting in the comfort of your home, or in your morning bathrobe. In a world of Facebook and Instagram, Pinterest is the little sibling that is screaming for attention – many travel planners should be listening.
Planning your next vacation is easy to do with Pinterest, and we are going to break it down for you with some simple tips.
Why Pinterest is GREAT for Travel Planning?
Pinterest has you covered when it comes to getting inspiration, gathering information, and getting ideas for how to get the most out of your travel experience. But the real kicker is that you can actually save and “Pin” the things you find for a later date.
Honestly, that’s one of the ways that Pinterest is truly great. Perhaps the hardest part of planning a trip or finding inspiration is that when you find out about a cool place to visit, or see an amazing photo in a book, magazine, or on a website…you know you may never find it or remember it again!
Have you ever been ready to plan a trip and thought “where was that place they were talking about?” “Where was that picture I saw in that magazine?” “What website did I see that cool article on about unique things to do in Paris?”
Well, now you have a way to easily keep those things handy for a later date. And you don’t have to cut out articles and pictures and keep them in boxes and folders around your home!
How to Use Pinterest for Travel Planning
Finding Inspiration Through Travel Photos
Sometimes it’s tough to decide on where to go on your next vacation, so people are are often looking for inspiration all around them. You can get travel recommendations and advice from friends and family, or you can be original and choose your own path. Pinterest allows you to do all of this in a digital format.
Pinterest also has a social element to it, so you can connect with friends and family to share things with each other. You can follow other people or publications, or do a search for inspiration on your own.
Pinterest is a photo based tool, in fact it’s known for it’s beautiful pictures (and who doesn’t like pretty pictures?!?!). You can browse, search and “Pin” these photos to a board (like having a cork board at home). Lastly, finding inspiration on Pinterest can be as easy as following the right Pinterest Boards.
Finding Things to Do at a Destination
Pinterest is a great resource for finding things to do at a travel destination. Not only are you able to connect with friends or follow publications, but there is also a powerful search box. You can use the search box to narrow down your search by keywords by destination or even by interest (like family travel or honeymoons).
The possibilities for finding a variety of useful information is huge…and it’s growing bigger everyday.
Travel Tips and Advice
Pinterest is not only pretty pictures, it can be a source of great travel advice. You will find a wide variety of travel advice on Pinterest from other travelers from all over the world. In particular, travel blogs and websites (like ours) are a great source of “Inside Advice” while on the road; from avoiding scams, where to visit (or not visit).
The website is also a great source for finding budget travel options as well. You will find numerous budget friendly ideas, from destinations from all around the world…and even in your own backyard.
In a nutshell, Pinterest has access to just about anything related to travel that you could possibly be looking for.
Are Your Ready to Plan a Trip on Pinterest?
Get Started with the Basics – Create an Account & Travel Boards
First off, you will need to make sure to have an account on Pinterest. If you don’t already have one, then you can easily make an account following a few simple instructions on their website (you mainly just need an email address).
Once you have an account, then you need to set up “boards” to pin your discoveries onto. Think of these boards like a corkboard on the wall at your home, or a box or folder in your closet. You could have just one…but that would make it confusing having all these different things mixed together. So you will want to create multiple boards to help yourself stay organized!
Your Pinterest boards can be anything that interests you.
If you are interested in a specific travel destination, then name your board after that destination – like Paris, Hong Kong, Boston, New Orleans, or by states like Georgia, Hawaii, or simply by countries like China, Ireland.
You can also make your boards more generic – like Travel Tips, Road Trip Tips, Travel Itinerary Ideas, Travel Tools, Travel Packing, Bucket List. The options are endless. The only thing to keep in mind is that the board fits your needs, and it is easy for you to remember where things are so that you can find them later. So it is up to you how you want to organize your boards.
Once you have your boards set up, then you are ready to start pinning ideas to your boards.
Finding Pins to Pin to Your Travel Boards
For me, this is the really fun part. There is a lot to sort through on Pinterest, but when you set up your account, you can actually indicate your preferences…which will help narrow down items that you see when you are browsing the feed in Pinterest. Pinterest will also have some ideas for you that fit your interests too.
You can start browsing the main feed and pinning them to your boards, or if you want to search for something more specific, then you can use Pinterest like a Google search engine. Just type a keyword into the search box and pins that fall under that search category will show up. It’s that simple.
Then you can start organizing the info you are finding by placing the pins onto your boards you have created.
Pinterest works similar to Facebook in that you can follow people and companies. Those that you follow will show up in your feed and you can see what they are pinning. But you can also just follow certain boards from other people (if they are public). So you will see pins on those boards show up in your feed as well. This is really great if you are working with a friend to plan a trip together, because you can share boards with ideas and even pin together by inviting them to pin to your board on your account!
** Note: When you make a board you can choose whether or not to make the board public. So don’t worry about people being able to spy on your personal boards or pins. You can easily keep them to yourself.
Time to Plan Your Trip
Additional Tools & Downloads For You
Now that you have found your travel inspiration on Pinterest and organized it on your boards, it’s time to really start your travel planning! Pinterest has gotten you this far, so whenever you are ready to start planning a trip, just go through your boards and start putting it all together.
Once you get into the details of planning a trip, you may want to have yet another way to organize it all. Liz and I actually use a Vacation Planning spreadsheet. This sheet lets us copy and paste websites and specific information that we KNOW we will use on our trip, such as the opening hours for a museum and the website, or how to use the local bus in a city.
It goes a step further from Pinterest and starts to make it all practical.
This sheet works really well for us when we’ve gone beyond the inspiration phase, and helps guide us into making our itinerary for a trip.

To help all of our readers, we’ve also made a template of this Vacation Planning spreadsheet for you to download here for FREE. This simple download gives you a place take what you’ve found on Pinterest (and other sites) and organize all the info from the sites you have bookmarked.
Once you have everything finalized for your trip, then be sure to download our “Cheat Sheet – Itinerary Template” which gives you an easy way to keep track of confirmation numbers, simple itinerary, etc. in a paper format while on the road.

All these tools will help make it easy for you to plan and organize your trip, so that you can relax and make your trip one that you will remember forever.

CO-FOUNDER and Advisor at ConversionIQ. I lead the optimization teams at ConversionIQ to increase the conversion rates on 26 eCommerce websites.
Yes. While Experiments reporting is session based, a user is kept into the test, seeing the same variation the whole time, so when they convert, they will be attributed to the test variation they have been seeing. This is limited to the same browser on the same device, so if the user changes devices (20% of the time for average eCommerce sites by my estimation) or clears cookies (1%) or changes browsers on the the same device (?), than Experiments (and nothing else legal) can track them.
Hope this helps.
PS(I suggest you look at other tools, as Experiments is the last tool I would recommend right now). | <urn:uuid:23cbc5d4-18bc-4fb0-b3a6-a15953a4713c> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.startups.com/community/experts/13758/keithhagen | 2022-01-23T12:54:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304261.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123111431-20220123141431-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.915538 | 166 |
Be prepared with a pocket t-shirt or just simply add a bit of style to your favorite tee. A pocket t-shirt is the ultimate function-meets-fashion piece in your favorite closet staple, the classic tee. Whether you wear a pocket t-shirt for work or for a touch of flair for fun, there's a short-sleeve or long-sleeve style for you.
A great go-between for both comfort and convenience is cotton. If you're on the job, you'll want a t-shirt that breathes, offers the heavy-duty structure you need, and zero stretch no matter how full you fill that pocket. If your pocket is your on-site go-to, consider the Gildan 5300 Adult Heavy Cotton 5.3 oz. Pocket T-Shirt. A double-needle stitch attaching that pocket to your t-shirt means you can use that pocket without fear of tearing or stretching. Not just for looks, feel free to load up that pocket. This may be the ultimate workwear t-shirt, with the Safety Green variation compliant ANSI/ISEA 107-2010 as a certified background color. An even heavier cotton pocket tee is the Gildan 2300 6.1 oz. Ultra Cotton Pocket T-Shirt. But if you're looking for a cotton pocket t-shirt with a little less weight, there's the Fruit of the Loom 3930PR 5.6 oz. Pocket T-Shirt. You can load up that pocket in confidence and get to work.
The look of a pocket t-shirt is as timeless and traditional as even the pocket-free tee. If you love the style and enjoy the option of a pocket, you'll love the upgrades to your perfect pocket t-shirt. No more scrimping on softness. The Hanes 5590 6 oz. Tagless Pocket T-Shirt has designed ComfortSoft, its own 100% ultra-soft ring spun cotton in a natural, durable, moisture-wicking fabric. For performance properties with a pocket, the Gildan 8300 5.6 oz., 50/50 Dry Blend Pocket T-Shirt blends a soft cotton with their own moisture-wicking polyester. You can be on the go without breaking a sweat. The Jerzees 29MPR 5.6 oz., 50/50 Dri-Power Pocket T-Shirt is another option for a cotton-polyester blend for staying dry during any activity. If you crave softness or enjoy performance-enhancing properties, these upgrades make your pocket t-shirt modern, and the pocket always an option to stow and go.
A pocket t-shirt may be more style than lifestyle for you, which is why the Bella + Canvas 3021 Mens 4.2 oz. Jersey Pocket T-Shirt is one of our bestsellers. With contrasting colors, you can make your pocket really pop, like Athletic Heather and Navy, Heather Red and Deep Heather, Heather True Royal and Navy, and more cool color combos. And think beyond just black and white with trendy pocket t-shirt colors.

Try your traditional pocket tee on a whole new level with these trendsetting takes. | <urn:uuid:2b439839-8c80-4005-adde-2cb17f813a80> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.t-shirtwholesaler.com/t-shirts/pocket-t-shirts | 2022-01-23T12:21:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304261.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123111431-20220123141431-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.875046 | 709 |
Welcome to The Spark Show! In this episode, I talk to Kelsey Chapman, author of What They Taught Me: Recognizing the Mentors Who Will Take You From Dream to Done, that is out on shelves now. She’s also a podcaster and personal cheerleader to women building their dream life and business.
We discuss why it's important to have a mentor, how your mentor may already be in your inner circle, the difference between investing in a mentor versus "picking their brain," and so much more!
"I love women investing in women and I have known since I was a little girl that I wanted to write books, that's been something that's been a dream for as far back as I can remember," said Chapman. "And when I started putting pen to paper, or keyboard to Google Docs a few years ago, I really just started with this story of a woman who invested so generously in me and I was like,...
Welcome to The Spark Show! In this episode, I talk to certified integrative wellness & life coach, health blogger, lifestyle influencer, content creator and mental health advocate, Katja Lillian about ways you can implement a healthy routine into your lifestyle!
We discuss the key takeaway to living a balanced lifestyle, why it's important to have a coach / mentor if you want to focus on health and wellness, and how she impacts women and helps them to live a healthier life mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
"My one answer would be time management, some more time management, and then some more time management," said Lillian. "I think there were just a lot of hours that I discovered in the day that I didn't know I had. How many times do we just kind of sit around or we postpone things? We procrastinate. So, I really needed to challenge myself by raising my productivity with every single hour...
Welcome to The Spark Show! In this episode, I’m talking about your influencer success roadmap. This is your guide no matter where you are in your influencer business. There are 5 stages and I’m going to walk you through each of them in today’s episode.
The first stage is “Build Your Brand.” In this stage, this is where you need to get clear on who you are as a brand, what your values are, your mission and your vision. This is where you also need to be clear on who your audience is, who you serve, who you will be delivering value to, who you are trying to help.
If you’re just starting out, you wanna make sure you spend some time here and really honing in on your brand. Things get a lot easier in the next stages when you know who you are and who you help. Just because you know this now, it doesn’t mean you won’t revisit this over and over again. Big companies have teams where all they focus on is...
Welcome to The Spark Show! In this episode I’ll be talking about 2021 Social Media Trends so that you can make those crucial decisions on what you’ll be spending time on this year to grow your following, reach more people and make a bigger impact.
Studies show that podcast listening is on the rise with people favoring easy-to-consume content that you can listen to on-the-go. Advertisers are spending more on podcasts and that looks like that’s just going to continue.
The new voice-only social media app, Clubhouse, is also proof that voice is taking over. People love being able to listen in and join conversations from celebrities and top entrepreneurs. With it being invite-only and iOs only, people have been clamoring for invites all over the other platforms.
Twitter also launched a beta version of Spaces, their audio-only feature.
If you don’t love video, then these channels may be where you want to spend your time...
Welcome to The Spark Show! In this episode, I’ll be talking about how to create new habits that you’ll actually stick to. At the time of this recording, it’s the beginning of 2021 and I’m sure like everyone you’re excited for the new year and the possibilities it brings.
You’re probably thinking about goals and all the things you want to accomplish this year and the thing is, you’re going to have to really put in the work and take action if you want to achieve those goals.
Because if you’re like me, this has happened before. I’m sure. You’re super excited, you create a list of 10-20 goals and then you start off super strong and excited, and then after a week, month or quarter you struggle with the consistency and then it kinda just fizzles.
Don’t worry, it’s not just you. It’s everybody. I don’t know one person that did not have the experience of not achieving something that they...
Happy New Year and welcome to The Spark Show! In this episode, I’ll be talking about how to choose your 2021 word of the year. I’ll also be sharing my 2021 word of the year and how having a word of the year has contributed to my success.
First of all, I know you might be thinking - “2021 word of the year? What’s that? Do I really need to do that? There’s so much I want to accomplish this year! Why do I only pick one word?”
So, before we even get to choosing your word for the year, let’s talk about why you should have a word of the year.
First, I know in the beginning of the year, you’re excited. It’s a fresh start, you survived 2020 and now it’s that time where you’re feeling like you can accomplish anything. And, not to be a downer, but we all know that even though we have a strong start, it’s getting those things done that can be the real challenge.
Welcome to The Spark Show! In this episode, I’ll be talking about self-care: why it’s so important, why you shouldn’t believe what people are saying about it, and how you can practice it in your daily life to be the best version of yourself.
First of all, let’s talk about self-care. There is no right way to care for yourself. Only you know how to do that. Only you truly know what makes you feel good, how you feel most nurtured and supported. So, if you haven’t done this ever or in a while, I want you to make a list of things that make you feel good and cared for: physically, emotionally, and mentally.
Let’s talk about physical self-care first. This could be what you eat and put into your body, physical fitness and what you make your body do, and what you use on your body. Maybe it could be really simple like making sure you are hydrated every single day - yes, that’s self care. Or, it could be getting a fitness...
Welcome to The Spark Show! In this episode, I’ll be talking about how to stop being insecure. Because let’s face it, everyone has moments where they feel insecure and I wanna talk about where that actually comes from, how to be aware of it, and how to overcome it.
I believe that everything in this world comes from two things, either fear or love. And, when we’re feeling insecure, we’re coming from a place of fear. It’s because we’re afraid of being judged, being rejected, being disliked by others. It’s a totally human thing. We can’t help it, it just happens. We’re born with a primal fear and sometimes it can take over us. Similar to a survival mechanism that gets triggered when we’re in danger, it’s the same kind of fear that can take over when we put ourselves in situations of being judged. Our brain and body sometimes doesn’t know the difference, and that’s where the mind comes in.
It is only with the...
Welcome to The Spark Show! In this episode, I talk about facing your fears as a new entrepreneur.
First of all, congratulations! There are many people who won’t even take this step because let’s be honest, it’s a big one. It’s a scary one! And, it’s definitely not for everyone.
The first fear is something that, of course, everyone is discouraged into going into entrepreneurship, because it is the unknown, and there is a fear of the unknown. It is not like your job where you go in, you do whatever they tell you to do, and every two weeks you get a paycheck.
The thing with entrepreneurship is you don't know when your paycheck is coming. So, you also don't know how long it's gonna take to get to the goals that you want to get to. Of course, that's scary to do that. And, as an entrepreneur who has been doing this for many, many years now, I've realized that I just need to be...
Welcome to The Spark Show! In this episode, I’ll be talking about how to say NO and feel good about it. Some of you may have trouble with saying no because you’re a people-pleaser. If this stings a little or you’re nodding your head right now - it’s okay. We all have people-pleasing tendencies. The first step, as with anything, is to be aware.
The first thing that I wanna talk about with this topic is really asking yourself one question that will help guide your decisions - “What do I want?” This is a question that seems so basic and simple yet most people can’t answer this question right now.
When you’re clear on what you want, it’s easy to make decisions because all decisions will be informed based on what you truly want. In Episode 12, I talk about getting clear on your big vision. If you haven’t listened to that or it’s been a while - make sure you spend some time to do that. | <urn:uuid:4844530e-9f05-4955-a02c-1e402e7a2ad0> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.thespark.school/blog/?page=2 | 2022-01-23T12:52:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304261.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123111431-20220123141431-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.962914 | 2,199 |
The Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel has been listed for sale in what is expected to be one of the year’s largest single-asset transactions with prices expectations of up to $270 million.
It is the first time the 318-room property, 100m from the international terminal, has been on the market since it was developed by Sydney businessmen Phillip Wolanski, David Baffsky and John Landerer in 2013.
As well as its guest rooms, the hotel features three food and beverage venues, including a top-floor bar; 11 conference facilities, and a business and fitness centre.
It is being sold as a vacant possession by CBRE Hotels’ Wayne Bunz and JLL’s Mark Durran.
“While the hotel has been very well managed by Event Hospitality under their Rydges brand, vacant possession can be obtained, providing owner-operators and alternate management companies with substantial brand exposure,” Durran said.
“Prime investment-grade hotel assets in strategic locations such as the Sydney Airport precinct, particularly those offering vacant possession, are highly sought after and prices remain solid.”
The global roll out of Covid-19 vaccines and consequent indications that international travel will be recommencing this year had prompted the hotel’s owners to launch the campaign after several unsolicited approaches.
Bunz said the campaign had been timed to capitalise on the new trans-Tasman travel bubble, which started with New Zealand this week.
Prior to the pandemic, the hotel had one of the city's highest occupancy rates. It was built as part of the extensive expansion of the international airport’s commercial precinct, which included additional office space.
Heading into the pandemic, occupancy rates sat at 97 per cent and an average daily room rate of $243, which has since dropped to 36 per cent so far this year, while average revenue per available room is just above $46.
The listing comes after the sale of the five-star Primus Hotel in central Sydney for $130 million, equating to $767,000 per room, reflecting a historically low investment yield.
Across Sydney, a number of new hotels are currently under construction, comprising upwards of 2400 rooms, with 500 rooms in key fringe markets adding to a potential oversupply issue.
New hotels under way include James Packer’s Crown Hotel Resort, One Circular Quay, Pontiac Land Group’s 5-star Capella Sydney and Doma Group’s 230-room Little National.
Other hotels waiting in the wings include the BVN-designed Voco Central and 55-storey, $700-million Andaz Hotel.
Meanwhile, The Star is pressing ahead with a $1-billion project at its waterfront site in the Sydney's Pyrmont, with revised plans before council for a two-tower, 6-star hotel. | <urn:uuid:a2be4678-2b9f-4bfb-9b61-d76d7d8cf848> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.theurbandeveloper.com/articles/rydges-sydney-airport-hotel | 2022-01-23T12:29:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304261.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123111431-20220123141431-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.954967 | 600 |

Published on : Tuesday, September 24, 2019
The president of the Travel and Tourism Association of Goa, Savio Messias, said Monday that the collapse of Thomas Cook, one of the oldest tourist travel companies in the world, will deal a “big, big blow” to the Goan tourism industry.
The head of the travel and tourism industry association in Goa, a state where nearly 1.48 lakh British tourists landed on holiday in 2018, added that flights chartered by the UK-based Thomas Cook ferried nearly 2,000 tourists every week to Goa, during the tourism season from October to March.
“Thomas Cook is a very reputed company, bringing in British tourists. British tourists are loved by the local Goans and the hotel industry. Thomas Cook has been operating for the last 25-30 years in Goa. And losing out on Thomas Cook is a huge blow to the industry,” Messias said.
“Last year, they were getting around 2,000 passengers a week. On an average, a passenger stays for around 14 days, sometimes 21 days and sometimes seven days also. If you count the number of room nights, it is very, very large,” Messias also said.
British tourists rank second in the list of international arrivals in Goa, after Russians.
Goa has been a traditional winter destination for Europeans, especially from Russia and UK, who arrive in the coastal state to beat the freezing cold winters in their countries.
Several hotels, according to Messias, were likely to face hardship in Goa, because they were entirely dependent on Thomas Cook for filling up their accommodation.
“Many hotels were depending entirely on Thomas Cook and they had built up a very good rapport. Repeat clients were coming back to the same hotels. It was a very good business which we are going to miss,” Messias said.
Incidentally, the reports of the collapse of the 178-year-old travel company come on the heel of dipping international tourist arrivals numbers over the last two years. | <urn:uuid:2e91edf1-488d-46ff-9973-4492912bd856> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.travelandtourworld.com/news/article/collapse-thomas-cook-will-deal-huge-blow-goa-tourism/ | 2022-01-23T13:10:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304261.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123111431-20220123141431-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.969423 | 429 |

Work and Travel in Jordan
VOLUNTEER AND PAID WORK OPPORTUNITIES IN JORDAN FOR TRAVELLERS
Like much of the Middle East, Jordan comes with a turbulent history. But if that doesn’t bother you and you want to work and travel in Jordan, you’ll get closer to one of the major centres of the world’s problems. You’ll be able to make a real difference and step outside your comfort zone.
We have a number of volunteer opportunities in Jordan. Consider this to be your travel guide to Jordan. Are you ready to challenge yourself in this ancient land?
1. Help Refugees in Jerash
Not many people know about the Gaza refugee camp in Jordan. There are 23,000 people living in just a single square kilometre. None of them have any ID or paperwork so they’re unable to ever move on.
Join up with a programme to help the refugees here. You can do everything from helping children learn to read to handing out food aid which arrives here on a periodic basis.
2. Cultural Exchange in Jordan
There are organisations that want to encourage more knowledge of the outside world within the country. These initiatives are there to offer a cultural exchange between locals and foreigners.
Your job will be to introduce these people to your culture and your lifestyle. You’ll be rewarded with free accommodation, alongside a new knowledge of traditional crafts and an insight into the Jordanian lifestyle.
It’s a wonderful way to work and travel in Jordan!
3. Restoration Work in Petra
Travel in Jordan is normally a thing because people want to visit the lost ancient city of Petra. Not many people who travel in Jordan are aware that the restoration of Petra still isn’t finished. New discoveries are being made all the time. You could be part of those discoveries.
Whether it’s through Jordan University or the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, you could join a team as a volunteer and help with the research of these organisations in Petra. The more qualifications you have the more likely you are to command a paying role.
VOLUNTEER WORK VISA / PERMIT REQUIREMENTS FOR JORDAN
Generally, only other citizens of the Middle East are entitled to enter Jordan without the need for a visa. Practically every other nationality, including all Westerners, is able to get a visa-on-arrival at most land crossings and any airport. Take note the visa isn’t available at the Wada Araba crossing with Israel, except for Israeli citizens in tour groups.
The visa-on-arrival can be purchased for up to 12 months with multiple entries, or you can choose one that only lasts for two months, as well as some more in between.
We recommend trying to arrive in Jordan by air as crossing through the land border with Israel will leave evidence of your visit to Israel in your passport, which will ban you from travelling to over 10 countries, including Lebanon and Kuwait.
SEASONAL BACKPACKER SKILLS NEEDED IN JORDAN
The spring is one of the high seasons in the country for tourism. These are pleasant temperatures with little chance of rainfall across the country. Outdoors jobs are desirable at this time of year, such as archaeological work and any work within refugee camps.
There are also plenty of tourists and backpackers in the spring, so you should find it easy to secure volunteering opportunities in Jordan targeted at foreigners.
The summer season is almost unbearable in a country that consists mainly of endless desert. Any job you can find indoors at this time of year is ideal. Teaching English in Jordan is a popular way to spend time in the country during the summer months because even the locals don’t want to go outside!
It’s relatively easy to find work in Jordan as an English teacher in the major cities. The best option for travellers is to head to Amman, which is an extremely modern, bustling capital.
You may even be able to find paying work if you know where to go and decide to work on a private basis. If you have a TEFL qualification schools and universities will be open to hiring you for the months ahead.
Autumn brings the second high season to Jordan. You should refer back to the ‘Spring’ section for more information on the roles available at this time of year.
Arguably, this is the best time to work and travel in Jordan because many of the tour companies open for business. Desert activities, such as sandboarding, are available. Volunteers who know their stuff can find work as instructors or supervisors in the vast deserts.
You may even be able to find work at some of the resorts on the Dead Sea.
Not many people know that even Jordan can get bitterly cold during the wintertime. Few tourists visit at this time of year and it’s unlikely that you’re going to find much work at all throughout the country.
There are no winter sports in the country, so it’s best to use this opportunity to either leave Jordan or to travel around some of the tourist destinations when crowd numbers are fewer.
ATTITUDE TO FOREIGNERS WORKING OR VOLUNTEERING IN JORDAN
Jordan is a surprisingly cut off country due to the fact that there are few cheap flights into or out of the country.
Most backpackers cross the land border with Israel to enter the country. And few tourists go beyond Petra and the Dead Sea. That means you’re likely to elicit a huge amount of curiosity when you go off the beaten track. There are no real dangers to foreigners and you won’t find a huge number of scammers like you would in places like Egypt.
There are usually no problems in Jordan as long as you don’t bring up issues of politics or religion. Despite being one of the more peaceful areas of the region, it still has a divisive history with the countries around it (especially Israel).
If you’re ready to go beyond the conventional in Jordan, you have everything you need to extend your stay and get under the skin of this country.
Are you prepared to enter this Biblical land?

Submission to the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
Follow-up on the Recommendations of the 5th Periodic Report for Mauritius – Discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity
The fifth periodic report of Mauritius (E/C.12.MUS/5) was considered at the 14th and 15th meetings of the United Nations (UN) Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights held on 26 and 27 February 2019. Subsequently, the concluding observations of the fifth periodic report were adopted by the Committee at its 30th meeting held on 08 March 2019, wherein, request was made at paragraph 68 thereof, in accordance with the procedure on follow-up to concluding observations adopted by the Committee, for the State party, that is, Mauritius, to provide, within 24 months of the adoption of the concluding observations, information on the implementation of the recommendations contained, inter-alia, at paragraph 16 with regard to the revision of the Equal Opportunities Act.
LGBT issues highlighted in the submissions
Mauritius still allows discrimination based on sexual orientation, specifically through the criminalisation of consensual same-sex sexual acts and the lack of legal recognition of same-sex couples; and does not consider gender identity as a protected ground under the Equal Opportunities Act. This demonstrates that the recommendation of the Committee has not been fully implemented.
With the support of the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA World), in its submission to the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the YQA highlighted the following issues affecting LGBT individuals in Mauritius:
Inclusion of trans people in the Equal Opportunities Act
The Young Queer Alliance deplores that provisions of the Equal Opportunities Act do not define gender identity nor provide for explicit protection from discrimination based on gender identity.
The following amendments to the Equal Opportunities Act would have ensured its compliance with the Committee’s recommendations:
- Integration of the definition of gender identity provided by international human rights law into section 2 of the Equal Opportunity Act;
- Either explicit recognition of gender identity as a protected ground, or (based on international jurisprudence and definitions) direct explanation that the definition of sex is inclusive of sexual orientation and gender identity.
Moreover, to ensure equality in treatment and equality in the protection of the economic, social and cultural rights of all groups of people, Mauritius has to clearly indicate, the timeframe for amending the Equal Opportunities Act so as to confer equal protection for all persons, irrespective of their gender identity.
- the notion of “the neuter” concerning ‘sex’, ‘gender’ and ‘gender identity’ is legally recognised and applicable in “all other enactments in force”, including the Equal Opportunities Act;
- if in the affirmative, the effective remedies for victims of discrimination which have occurred so far, including through judicial and administrative proceedings; and
- if in the negative, the effective remedies to be taken including through judicial and administrative proceedings and give clear timelines for same.
Consensual same-sex sexual acts
In June 2020, the Supreme Court of Mauritius authorised four activists to challenge the constitutionality of Section 250(1) of the Criminal Code.
In February 2021, the State Party has moved for the Plaint with Summons to be dismissed, implying that people shall continue to be criminalised for up to 5 years of imprisonment irrespective of the act being consensual.
The Equal Opportunities Act defines “spouse”, in relation to a person in a general and neuter form (“the person to whom one is, or has been, civilly or religiously married”, Section 2).
However, in the Protection from Domestic Violence (Amendment) Act, “spouse” is defined as “… a person who is or has been civilly or religiously married to a person of the opposite sex; is living or has lived with a person of the opposite sex as husband and wife; or whether living together or not with a person of the opposite sex, has a common child with that person” (emphasis added).
In order to fully comply with the Committee’s recommendations, consensual same-sex sexual relations needs to be decriminalised and same-sex couples and their rights should be recognised.
Infrastructural considerations for trans people
Trans people in Mauritius deplore that it is difficult to gain acceptance and respect. School settings remain a place of great challenge for trans people; them being the victim of perpetual harassment and bullying due to their gender identity. Owing to non-recognition of people based on their gender identity, trans people deplore that they are deprived of many rights; inter-alia, not being able to be defined on papers as their preferred gender, or being kicked out of public washrooms by security guards.
As one of the remedies for victims of discrimination, the Equal Opportunities Commission could have proposed amendments to design guidance for commercial and non-residential buildings as well as design sheets concerning the Planning Policy Guidance. The amendments would have encouraged non-discriminatory practices such as gender-neutral facilities to create greater accessibility for bathrooms and toilet facilities by trans people in such new building and facilities construction.
The Young Queer Alliance condemns that amendments to laws criminalising same-sex consensual relationships have not yet been made; marriage between persons of the same sex is still not a reality; and recognition, non-discrimination and protection of trans persons are still much awaited.
Such blatant inaction is regrettably the manifestation of the tyranny of the majority, inasmuch that LGBTQ issues remain a highly sensitive issue in Mauritius in view of the delicate socio-cultural and religious fabric of the Mauritian society; whereby, a conscious choice has been made to deny minority groups, including LGBTQ people of the protection from discrimination of their economic, social and cultural rights, and which hence, is a long-standing practice of gross injustice.
The YQA hopes that the Mauritian State considers the submission made to the CESCR and acts upon it. | <urn:uuid:d66088e5-9abc-486a-9662-c76c325c91b2> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://youngqueeralliance.com/2021/03/08/young-queer-alliance-follow-up-on-the-united-nations-cescr-recommendations-of-the-5th-periodic-report-mauritius/ | 2022-01-23T13:28:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304261.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220123111431-20220123141431-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.945131 | 1,260 |
Best Website Hosting
There are different sorts of website hosting services suitable for different web pages in terms of the resources or the website hosting environment they demand. To pick the best website hosting service for your site, you have to evaluate what server-side software it requires, how many hits per day you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may need to be fulfilled.
Shared Website Hosting - Positive Points
The most proper option for small size web portals with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this type of webspace hosting, each user pays only for their account, which decreases the overall cost per person noticeably. There are different web hosting plans differing from one hosting vendor to another, providing different quotas of server storage space and web traffic, different email box account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can purchase an account that will include the specifications your online portal indeed needs. You will not need to pay plenty of money for an account you will not use, or end up with a small account that cannot host the site. We, at AEY WEB HOSTING, offer a wide assortment of website hosting packages appropriate for private or small business web portals that even include pre-installed script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you start with a low-cost package and you demand more functionalities, moving to a more feature-rich package requires just a click.
Shared web hosting - Downsides
A downside of the shared web hosting environment is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install new software platforms. Some web sites, chiefly online storefronts, request applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to function, and with a shared website hosting environment, you can activate only software that does not require full server root access.
Private Virtual Servers and Dedicated Web Servers
For sites that need complete root access, or if your website has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily visits, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated web hosting. A Virtual Private Server is a software simulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it performs in exactly the same way.
Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers
Both services typically come with full root access and can be rebooted via a software platform by the customer, independently from the hosting company. Akin to the shared hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web server hosting accounts include diverse features depending on what the web hosting vendor has to offer. A private virtual server package includes guaranteed server space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for brief stretches of time in case there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A virtual private hosting server is easier to handle as it arrives with virtualization software, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, check statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more elaborate, so such an account would rather be used by tech-savvy customers.
Yet, given web hosting firms provide managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they complete dedicated server administration assignments instead of the client. This can be a part of plan or an extra feature.
Before You Elect...
Opting for the top hosting plan is important as it can affect the proper functioning of a web page. Before picking a package, weigh the pros and cons, check completely all the preconditions for the web site to run properly, especially if it is script-powered. And if you are still not sure which is the best website hosting service for you, ask our live chat operators or call us - our sales representatives will be glad to help you and answer all your questions.

You’re going to read this and think, “I can’t eat this on my diet!”
Actually, you can! You can eat anything you want, as long as you stick to your calorie deficit!
I love meatloaf. It’s such a weird dish, but it’s so good! Honestly, I think it’s the sweet ketchup that does it for me!
I rarely make this because my family will not eat it! So, today, it’s already almost 2 o clock, and I haven’t eaten! For me, it’s the perfect time for this sort of “heavy” meal! I didn’t purposely wait to eat. I normally don’t eat breakfast. I’m not much for breakfast foods. If I do want breakfast, I want country fried steak with dripping over easy eggs on top of hash browns, and a butt load of country gravy! But since I don’t know how to make that, I usually just wait til lunch to eat. I guess I was doing too much today and let my entire morning get away from me.
I don’t classify myself in the group of Intermittent Fasters, but most days, I eat from 11am – 8pm. Since I eat 2 meals a day with a couple of snacks, large portioned meals work for me. If I eat 3, then obviously, my meals cant be as heavy. I don’t freak out if I eat at 9am or 9pm, I guess that why I don’t classify myself in that category. I eat when I want. I just so happens to be that I usually eat later in the morning.
This whole meal is 537 calories – 32p/40c/27f
Don’t let those numbers scare you! Honestly, it is more balanced than most meals you’ll eat when you run out during your lunch break!
This meal is so easy to make! I only used enough ingredients to make 1 serving, so I don’t have to mess with adding, subtracting, or figuring out macros!
4.5oz 93/7 Ground Beef
10g grated Onions
10g grated Peppers
(I like to grate them over the dish I mix the meat in because it lets all the juices soak into the meat too!)
7g shredded Cheese (I used Kraft Triple Cheddar, but you can use any kind you want!)
6g Egg Whites
Salt & Pepper
228 Calories 28.2p/1.6c/11.3gf
4g Brown Sugar
147g Red Potato (this is considered 1 serving size according to the nutritional label. I just dug through the bag until I found one closest to this weight, and it happened to be 143g)
1 Garlic Clove
1T Heavy Cream
Salt & Pepper
**I sprinkled some Lowery’s seasoning salt on top once I plated the potatoes
224 Calories 3.2p/28c/11f
85g Marketside Spring Mix + Spinach (Mine was organic, only because it was on sale and cheaper than the non-organic)
Kraft Italian Dressing
Preheat oven to 350*
Place thawed ground beef in dish. Mix in the peppers, onions, egg white, salt & pepper. Once mixed, place on a lined or sprayed baking sheet. Add cheese to the middle of the loaf, and fold the outer parts of the loaf over the cheese, encasing it. Place in the oven for 30-45 min, depending on your oven
While the meatloaf is cooking, slice the potato and place into a pot with water. Boil until soft throughout. Strain potato. In the same pot, place your butter in it. While it melts, grate your garlic clove and add it to the melting butter. Once its all melted, cook on low for 1-2 minutes, until you can smell the buttery garlic mixture. Pour in your heavy cream and mix. Add potatoes back to the pot and mash/mix potatoes to your liking.
When the Meatloaf is done cooking, spread the ketchup and brown sugar on top, then place back in the oven for just a few more minutes. It creates a glaze-like sauce 😊
For the salad, I just grabbed the mix and placed it in a bowl. I didn’t want the dressing from the salad to mix with the juice and ketchup from the meatloaf! Add any kind of dressing or toppings that you want! | <urn:uuid:f4a25246-a96f-4266-8ba2-0f32251768a2> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://www.dianemichiko.com/macro-friendly-meatloaf/ | 2022-01-25T02:39:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304749.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125005757-20220125035757-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.932848 | 1,003 |
