Plans have been lodged for the second phase of the Ivax Quays development, containing 468 flats in buildings up to 11 storeys. The scheme, also confusing known as both Great Eastern Quays and Royal Albert Wharf, will deliver 76 shared ownership units alongside 27 affordable and social rent flats and 365 private units.
Notting Hill Housing is behind the scheme, with Feilden Clegg Bradley as the architect. The first phase of the scheme is largely complete.
The next phase is East of the current phase, giving it views over the Thames on the banks of which it sits. The first phase had views over Gallions Point Marina.
The scheme is limited in height by being on the final approach to London City Airport, which recently was granted permission to expand. The area has decent transport links from the DLR at Gallions Reach, and while local shops are somewhat lacking currently, it’s within walkable distance of the large retail parks of Beckton. | <urn:uuid:9f92202e-d323-4d49-8e80-3ee72fcfae61> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://apartology.com/plans-in-468-flats-in-the-royal-docks/ | 2022-01-22T20:51:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303884.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122194730-20220122224730-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.962615 | 199 |
Quite often I see aircraft parked at the gate with rudder deflected to the max. I see this either with Boeing and Airbus aircraft so it must have been done on purpose. I know that there are dampers connected to the yaw, or are those not powerful enough to keep the rudder straight e.g. undeflected?
The control surfaces of airliners are not connected to the pilots' control via cables; they are operated by a hydraulic pump. When the engines are shut down, there is no hydraulic pressure in the pipes, and the control surface is free to move.
The rudder is moved from the center position by wind. If you observe the gates, you should note that all airplanes have their rudder deflected to the same direction. In a perfect no-wind scenario, the rudder would stay neutral.
There are no gust locks which the pilot must arm before leaving the cockpit on Boeing aircraft (and I presume Airbus too). Gust locks are, however, common in general aviation aircraft. They can also be found on some small business jets.
The reason being, control surfaces on small aircraft work "both ways" - if you move the elevator by hand, the yoke in the cockpit will move as well. These are called "reversible flight control systems". Therefore, when the control surfaces are moved by wind, the entire system - yoke, cables, wheels, bearings etc. are all moved back and forth. This brings a significant amount of wear and stress to the system. Strong wind may also cause the surfaces to deflect past their designed maximum, causing damage.
The control surfaces on airliners are much heavier and much stronger. Also, they are not "directly" connected to the cockpit's controls - when there is no hydraulic power, pretty much every component is disconnected. Unless you're facing gale force winds, it is safe to just let them swing free with wind and gravity.
I have no experience on Boeing or Airbus airplanes but the most likely cause would be gust locks installed on the aircraft.
- Some aircraft, like a C-172, have a pin that locks the aileron and elevator in place. Other airplanes have an externally mounted device locking the rudder in place.
- Other aircraft have a strap that goes around the flight controls and rudder. The strap is tightened and the controls are locked in a fully deflected state. | <urn:uuid:e581ec56-133c-455c-bf70-f8b6cbea0b27> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/32118/why-are-airplanes-parked-at-the-gate-with-max-rudder-deflection | 2022-01-22T21:26:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303884.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122194730-20220122224730-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.962456 | 489 |
Okay this is deep and some may even say it is annoying. I absolutely love this kind of stuff. Do you know the brains it takes to think about something this much? The mental capacity in this person is so impressive that the fact that they are spending it on Space Jam theories would make college professors sick. They could go to school at MIT or work for NASA. Instead, he is diving deep into the world of Space Jam and Loony Tune Land.
I love fan theories. I love when very smart people use their intelligence to make sense of a movie where the best basketball player quits baseball to help cartoons in a game of life or death, I say it is my favorite documentary for a reason. I do truly believe that this movie is the single reason MJ came back from retirement to win 3 more NBA Championships. What a story. What a career. MJ > LeBron.
That's the difference between you and the great ones. Players like Michael and Magic never needed motivation from a video game.

Don't worry about any off-the-field antics when Kirk Cousins joins the Vikings – he's as clean as they come.
Lord knows Twitter is an absolute horror show at times – ok most of the time – and is often used by sporting superstars to let off steam, mock defeated teams and boast of their prowess.
Kirk Cousins' Twitter however might be the most wholesome thing about the Internet.
It's not surprising, Cousins is the quintessential, God-loving family man who's clearly grateful for where he's ended up in life – yet there are myriad examples of stars in similar situations who don't have the same outlook.
I mean, check out this tweet from March 10 – the guy spends his time watching Sesame Street with his son, and it doesn't get more wholesome than that.
When on vacation, rather than posting snaps of his beach bod or having a Sangria by the pool, Cousins' attention is diverted by natural phenomena.
Here he actually says "Whoa Nelly," the phrase made famous by the late great Keith Jackson, though he might have to start saying "Oh boy!" now that he's in Minnesota.
Gridlock has the ability to turn even the most mild-mannered of human into a festering cesspool of rage.
Not Kirk Cousins though – this is about as angry as he gets.
This will win him points with North Dakotan Vikings fans – a nice message of support to Carson Wentz.
Even when he's on the losing team, he looks for the bright side.
What he doesn't tell you is his favorite movie is "Silence of the Lambs."
So there you have it – don't check on Cousins' Twitter if you're looking for a guy who slams his teammates, mocks his opponents or flips the bird to management.
Because with Kirk... | <urn:uuid:0b26f5ab-c366-4efe-8046-eb7d4519f7ce> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://bringmethenews.com/sports/kirk-cousins-account-is-the-most-wholesome-thing-about-twitter | 2022-01-22T20:50:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303884.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122194730-20220122224730-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.979287 | 384 |

Blogging was just not happening this week. Saturday is catch-up day. I have to hurry though because the Civil War is starting.
Earlier this morning, I took Kady to Pet Country for her rabies shot and county license. Six months old: she’s a big girl now. I wanted to get some pictures of her making friends in line, but holding the madly bouncing puppy, filling out the paperwork, and taking pictures simultaneously was another thing that was not happening. But here she is shopping after the shot:
In other news: today would have been Julie’s 17th birthday. Which makes it 16 years next week since she became our first champion.
Mandy is meeting the Huxley/Clem puppies, who are great-great-great grandkids of Julie. We all decided that the weather was too bad this weekend to do more driving for a real “puppy party.” I’m waiting eagerly for new stacked pictures on the Storm Ridge site.
Show news: I/we have two dogs at Eukanuba showing tomorrow. Pilot is there with Dixie and Vallhund Rikkii is there with Cheri. I’m just as happy to be home.
And speaking of dog shows, I learned at our kennel club meeting that Bandon lost their July 4th show date with AKC. In 2011 the Mt Bachelor Kennel Club shows will be July 2nd and 3rd. I vote for camping at Cove Palisades State Park. Mandy has already requested time off. Anybody on? We should make reservations soon.
Also this week, Jen sent some new pictures of Wally.
Huxley just reminded me that I was supposed to mention how bad his week has been. Thanks to Gretta, Molly came in heat mere days after her visit: three in fact. Today is day 11 and Huxley says “life is hell”. Normally all 4 dogs sleep with us, but the poor boy has had to sleep in a crate. Last night it got even worse. He had to sleep in a crate in the car in the garage (to muffle the sounds).
Sorry Huxley and Molly, it is not happening. | <urn:uuid:69bc617e-459a-48a6-aaf7-aba2a0f4c9cc> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://c-myste.com/2010/12/doins/ | 2022-01-22T21:30:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303884.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122194730-20220122224730-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.980771 | 465 |
Looking casual in knee length boots, a khaki parka and aviator sunglasses, Selena Gomez visited a medical building in California last week. The 20 year old brunette, who recently broke up with Justin Bieber after almost two years of romantic involvement, is reportedly not over him yet. She is trying to keep it friendly, and rumor has it that Taylor Swift has been giving her breakup advice – but it can’t be easy, since The Biebs was spotted flirting with Victoria’s Secret models and looking quite happy after the separation. Focusing on her professional life, Gomez is now a representative of Adidas NEO Label, as a style icon and guest designer. The partnership was signed for 3 years, while her first collection will be out in the fall-winter of next year. “It is a great partnership for me because NEO really cares about style and having fun with fashion and allowing you to be yourself. This is something that’s always been important to me and is important to my fans, too: knowing they can express themselves through wearing whatever clothes they want and feel good about themselves,” Gomez stated. She already launched a first video with the brand, which is, in turn, satisfied to have “caught” Gomez. “Teens everywhere admire her natural and enduring sense of fashion and style as well as her compelling charisma and warmth,” a representative of Adidas stated. | <urn:uuid:dc1c8369-3b07-4d73-bc39-2e5a00505e14> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://celebritysunglasseswatcher.com/2012/11/22/selena-gomez-in-gold-aviator-sunglasses/ | 2022-01-22T20:54:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303884.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122194730-20220122224730-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.978057 | 290 |
Chicken cage manufacturers have many skills in raising chickens. The most difficult process for the chicks in the growth of the flock requires the care of the farmers. The following points are summarized about the management skills of the cage feeding of the chicks:
①Start feeding; feeding the newborn chicks for the first time is commonly known as "start feeding". It is necessary to grasp the time for the chicks to start feeding. It is best to start feeding 12-24 hours after hatching, and it is best not to exceed 36 hours after long-distance transportation. Too early, the chicks have no appetite, and affect the absorption of egg yolk; too late, the chicks will consume too much energy, lose water and become weak, and also affect their future growth and survival. When the chicks can stand and move after their feathers are dry, 60%-70% of the chicks should start eating when they are looking for a peck.
The starter feed requires freshness, with a moderate particle size of 1.5-2.0 mm, which is convenient for chicks to peck, and is nutritious and easy to digest. Farmers often use broken corn, broken rice, broken wheat, millet, etc. Large-scale chickens often use chicken mix to mix wet or directly feed dry powder.
② Feed combination; brooding feed should be a full price compound feed, which can meet the needs of protein, energy, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients during the growth and development of chicks. The feed for chicks can be prepared according to the feeding standards, combined with the status of the young group and the source and type of local feed. From the 4th day of brooding, an additional 1% of gravel can be added to the diet, especially for online brooding and cage brooding, and more attention should be paid to the replenishment of gravel.
③Feeding method: For the first three days of feeding, you can spread the feed directly on the opening tray or sterilized kraft paper or dark-colored plastic cloth to induce it to eat. Some chicks do not know how to eat when they are fed for the first time. Artificial lures should be used to make the chicks learn to eat. After 2-3 training sessions, the chicks can learn to eat. Cage brooding chicks are inconvenient to train, as long as the drinking water and starter feed are placed in a more conspicuous place that is easy to peck. After 4-7 days, you should gradually transition to the use of troughs or barrels for feeding. Generally speaking, 1-3 weeks old use young chicks troughs, 3-6 weeks old use medium-sized troughs, and after 6 weeks old, use large-sized troughs.
It is very convenient to use poultry cages in chicken farm to feed the chicks. | <urn:uuid:41c4b9db-b1ee-42e8-a65c-28ddf525cb23> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://chickenpoultry.net/some-folk-methods-of-poultry-farming/itemlist/date/2021/12 | 2022-01-22T20:42:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303884.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122194730-20220122224730-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.943928 | 578 |
2020 has been a very unusual year. Many events and businesses have had to postpone their activities until next year. Here is our list of 10 things we miss in 2020 and look forward to in 2021.
Parades – Caroline holds a parade on the May long weekend, and Rocky Mountain House has one usually the first Saturday in June.
Summer Camps – We have several camps that specialize in school and summer camps, ranging from programs for young kids to full credit, multi-week adventures for high school students. This year some are renting out their cabins and equipment, or providing guided mountain tours instead of doing full summer camp activities.
White Water Rafting – Hunter Valley Adventures provides rafting trips and camps along the upper Red Deer River and He La Ventures does it on the North Saskatchewan River.
Programs at the Rocky Mountain House National Historic Site – While the National Historic Site has opened the Park, trails and campground, we are still hoping to enjoy the museum, blacksmith shop, trappers tents and cabins, and the many other interpretive programs. Plus Canada Day festivities at the Site are Awesome!
Rocky Airshow – The Rocky Airshow had to be postponed but we are definitely looking forward to see what they can do in 2021.
National Aboriginal Day – The Âsokêwin Native Friendship Centre in Rocky Mountain House held a lovely parade this year, but we look forward to the fuller celebration they have been holding the past few years.
Leslieville Antique Days – There is no feeling like an old time fair. Leslieville Antique days has it with pancake breakfasts, tractor pulls, antique farm machinery displays, miniature train rides, and many, many home made cinnamon buns and pies.
Rodeos and Chuckwagon Races – The Bighorn Rodeo is held in Caroline on the May long weekend. The Rocky Mountain House Pro Rodeo is early June and the WPCA Chuckwagon Races are in mid August.
Wednesday Nights on Twin Lakes with the Rocky Canoe Club – The Rocky Canoe Club holds weekly canoe and kayaking sessions to help people enjoy the water and improve their comfort and expertise with canoeing and kayaking equipment. With some practice they will even take you on the Brierlies Rapids for a real adventure.
Tours of the Brazeau Collieries Coal Mine in Nordegg – Touring the coal mine buildings that helped make nordegg a thriving town of over 2,500 people in the first half of the 1900s. It was a booming town set in a remote part of Alberta that has now become a tourism centre for hikers and campers.
There is also the Crimson Lake Trail Run, Fat Tire Festival at Frontier Lodge, Nordegg Days, various horse trials and shows, farmers markets, and the Lions Club Demolition Derby. We are very excited for a busy and exciting 2021!

The Boston Herald went to sleep proud of itself for landing the scoop that Theo Epstein is on his way to Chicago. They woke up to the Globe's comprehensive hit on the hard-partying 2011 Red Sox that's the only topic in town.
We don't know if this is an attempt to take sides in Boston's ongoing management vs. players battle, or something more innocuous, but today the Herald scrubbed from existence a piece that might have caused more waves. Running in Inside Track, the Herald's gossip section, it had eyewitnesses putting Kevin Youklis (last seen "[growing] more detached and short-tempered") snuggling with Nancy Brady, sister of Tom, at Sunday's Patriots game.
Headlined "Youk, Brady's sis spark rumors," the story no longer exists. It was automatically sent out at 8 this morning by the Inside Track Twitter account, but that Tweet has disappeared as well. No cache exists, and it's not yet to be found in Nexis, but luckily one Boston blog caught some of it in the brief time it was up. As quoted by The Boston Jam:
Kevin Youkilis denies that there's a romance, but our spies in the skyboxes say the Red Sox slugger and Tom Brady [stats]'s sis, Nancy, were looking veeeeery cozy as they watched 12 and the Pats cool the Jets at Gillette Stadium on Sunday.
"They were mugging it up in the box," said Someone Who Was There.
Obviously, the story is much less interesting than the story of why it was sent down the memory hole. We've reached out to the appropriate parties for comment and will update when we hear back.
UPDATE Feb. 10, 2012: It seems the Herald fucked up, and had the wrong Brady sister. | <urn:uuid:a89e2a23-ae71-4a78-8596-5d6493aea4df> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://deadspin.com/now-kevin-youkilis-is-maybe-dating-tom-bradys-sister-a-5849102 | 2022-01-22T19:58:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303884.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122194730-20220122224730-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.976128 | 370 |
With many Scots preparing Christmas dinner for the first time this year and much more cooking for unusually small festive gatherings, there’s a much greater risk of food ending up wasted if people struggle to plan for these changing times.
To help Scots show they care for loved ones and the planet, Love Food Hate Waste Scotland and Scotland’s national chef Gary Maclean have teamed up to tackle festive food waste and help people plan for the right numbers to ensure their Yuletide feasting isn’t driving global warming.
The #ChristmasFirsts campaign, which launches today, is big on taste, perfectly sized, and includes a range of menus, shopping lists and cooking advice to make Christmas dinner a cinch and help protect the environment.
It is estimated that around 67 million meals went to waste in Scotland last December and 84% of households had leftover food from Christmas Day. Festive favourites including turkey (56%), roast potatoes (34%) and Brussels sprouts (30%) were most likely to go uneaten.
Food waste is a significant contributor to the global climate crisis and the true cost to the planet of Scotland’s wasted food more than doubles when emissions from growing, processing and cooking it are taken into account. If wasted food is then sent to landfill the environmental impacts are even worse as this emits methane, one of the most damaging greenhouse gases.
Iain Gulland, chief executive of Zero Waste Scotland, said: “While this Christmas will be different for many people, as a nation, we will still waste thousands of tonnes of good food, a lot of which is avoidable.
“Food waste is a huge contributor to climate change and the best way to reduce this is by making sure we don’t throw away what we buy. We recognise that this year there will be people facing different circumstances and looking for guidance on what to prepare and when, and this is what has led to our #ChristmasFirsts campaign.
“Taking simple steps, like resisting the urge to overbuy and using a shopping list to avoid doubling up on ingredients, are easy ways we can all reduce food waste and do our bit to tackle climate change.”
#ChristmasFirsts menus offer an easy way to reduce food waste and be kind to the planet while at the same time delivering a meal that isn’t short on taste. The campaign covers shopping lists, recipes and meal planners, and even suggests creative ways to use leftovers. It’s all about food-waste free feasts and is designed to make it easy to serve a fabulous dinner for two, four or six people.
Meal plans cover traditional favourites, such as soup, turkey and trifle, as well as at including less familiar festive fare like halloumi or monkfish.
Gary Maclean, Scotland’s National Chef, said: “This year will be a Christmas of many ‘firsts’ but two things stay the same; Scotland loves its Christmas dinner and it’s still an easy time to generate more food waste than usual.
“The simplest way to reduce your household food waste is to plan – plan your shopping, plan your meal prep and plan your cooking time.
“If we plan ahead that little bit more, we can help tackle the 50,000 tonnes of food waste that will be thrown away this Christmas and ultimately fight climate change.”
Zero Waste Scotland is behind Love Food Hate Waste and recently launched its festive #ChristmasTrimmings campaign to provide practical ideas and tips on small changes to cut our carbon footprint linked to waste, calling on everyone to cut the waste, but keep the joy, in what for many will be a very different festive period.

With the Parachute System Control Computer (PSCC-2) fully programed and functioning, we had reached the point where we could perform an immediate drop test. But, there was one more test we wanted to do before we staked the payload and all of it’s electronics on the performance of the PSCC-2.
In preparation for the test we packed the PSCC-2 into a simple enclosure that would protect it during the flight. In place of the parachute system, we attached a servo and an orange cone. This cone would simulate the parachute during the flight test; if it was released during the decent, we would know that the PSCC-2 had performed as expected and would have deployed the parachute if it was an actual drop test.
Upon arriving at the test site, we set up the Flight Test System (FTS) and attached the payload to it, and then began testing. Each flight followed the same profile, one that was designed to emulate the conditions that would be experienced during a drop test. The FTS ascended to an altitude of up to 122 m (400 ft) and then swiftly descended. During the decent, the payload was watched closely to see if the indicator cone would be released. During the first few tests the PSCC failed to release the cone, and upon landing the problem was determined to be mostly mechanical in nature. While the PSCC had correctly signaled the servo motor to open, it had only done so partially. Eventually the problem was tracked down to an error in the code that the PSCC-2 was running and was soon resolved.
A set of two tests were run after the fix was implemented, confirming that the issue had been properly resolved. Not only did this success prove that the PSCC-2 was indeed ready for flight, it also gave us the opportunity to gather additional data from the sensors, which will give us further insight into the way it operates. With this task now completed, we can now move on to a full fledged drop test of the PSCC. | <urn:uuid:28f5b0b0-8a87-417e-9c8d-1bdafaac47fb> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://ether-aerospace.com/2021/06/09/more-testing/ | 2022-01-22T20:45:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303884.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122194730-20220122224730-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.985092 | 416 |

1978 FRONTIER CLASSIC AT FREEDOM RIVER
Open Gallery (Lipscomb University) / 57 Arcade January 7, 2017 - January 7, 2017
Ryan Gillam, Jake Himovitz
Open Gallery is pleased to present The 1978 Frontier Classic at Freedom River brought to you by GoldStar, a performance piece by Jake Himovitz and Ryan Gillam. Please join us for the opening reception on Saturday, January 7th, from 6-9pm during the Nashville Art Crawl.
A proud young man and his weather beaten partner approach the end of a fur gathering journey in this romanticized tableau. The 1978 Frontier Classic seeks to identify people and their patterns from the Yukon to the Grid Iron. Jake and Ryan don their buckskins, chow down on a bucket of wings and crack open a cold one in this great American fanfare.
The 1978 Frontier Classic explores parallels between the years 1848, 1978, and today. We are interested in representing people, their patterns, and how they relate to contemporary American patriotism. Research and specificity are paramount in our work. Our accuracy and research behind each element of the piece is contrasted with a superficial layer of absurdity. | <urn:uuid:0d5a065f-2644-41a9-a40e-a2985b0495e6> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://locatearts.org/exhibitions/nashville/1978-frontier-classic-at-freedom-river-nashville | 2022-01-22T21:33:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303884.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122194730-20220122224730-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.922002 | 249 |
When you examine your credit report, it will list the names of all credit pulls: the parties who have obtained a copy of your credit report information. As these credit reports contain valuable private information, the Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that parties can only use, obtain, or examine your credit report for a permissible purpose. You would be shocked at the amount of information someone can learn about you and your family by accessing your credit report. It is just like digging through your garbage. This is why there are laws in place to allow you to protect yourself if someone pulls your credit without permission. Our firm recently resolved a matter for $125,000.00 on behalf of a couple who had their credit pulled for an impermissible purpose by a large auto company.
The most common permissible purpose, of course, is that the business intends to use the information in connection with a credit transaction. A party seeking to collect debt on an account can pull a copy of your credit report (as long as your debt hasn’t been paid in full or discharged by bankruptcy).
However, businesses will occasionally do a “soft pull” or a “hard pull” of your credit information without such a permissible purpose. For example, it is common for spouses in divorce cases to attempt to use credit pulls to obtain consumer information about their ex. Private investigators utilize their contacts at businesses who have the ability to obtain credit information where the company lacks the requisite controls to ensure that the consumer report being generated is for a real customer. This is NOT a permissible purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Other than in connection with the collection of an account, you cannot pull a credit report in connection with civil litigation, including family court cases. Similarly, insurance companies can pull your records when deciding if you are eligible for their product. What they cannot do is pull your consumer report when evaluating a claim for benefits.
We may be able to help you if can identify companies who engaged in credit pulls without a business justification to do so. Keep a copy of the credit report which identifies the wrongful pull of your information. Businesses and people should not be allowed to access your personal, private information without a legal reason to do so. Contact the firm if you believe you have such a situation. You can reach us at 919.526.0450 or submit a new case inquiry through our contact page. Consultations on Fair Credit Reporting Act claims are free and, if we can take the case, we are always to take the case on a contingency basis, meaning that no fees are owed unless you are allowed to recover funds from the party who invaded your privacy. | <urn:uuid:b65f8207-b1a5-4f06-9035-88195f7c025f> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://maginnishoward.com/consumer-law/credit-reporting/unauthorized-credit-pulls/ | 2022-01-22T20:46:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303884.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122194730-20220122224730-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.952532 | 532 |

He would work in a forge possibly workshop having a hearth previously heat mining harvests. Metals were heated in order to be shaped by using tongs, an anvil and hammer. The metal is often heated enough so it would bend in the desired shape by hammering. Tongs would be used to handle the heated metal.

Just a few snapshots from my Instagram recently…
Just a few things from my Instagram recently. Here’s the breakdown:
1. Pretty flowers at a bodega in the city. I use to hate roses,but I am starting to love them.
2. My favorite dresses from Pepaloves spring 2014. I can’t wait to show you all of these in outfit posts! The moon one might be my fav.
3. My kitty tights and a cup of coffee. Before I leave my apartment, if I have cute tights on I have to take a picture of them of course.
4. Just a cute detail shot of my apartment. These were flowers I got a few days ago in a weird vase (that isn’t suppose to be a vase) that I picked out of the trash.
5. A little preview of an outfit post. This is the Pepaloves moon dress that I can’t get over.
6. King cake!!!! Happy Mardi Gras everyone! I am from Louisiana and this was the highlight of my week.

“My heart broke after hearing that around 150,000 dogs get abandoned every year. Dogs are not just toys that you can just freely buy at the shops. The moment you decide that you want to have a dog, you also have to be prepared to treat them as if they are a part of your family.”
If I go to the centre for unwanted dogs, how many dogs will I be able to meet?”
“What are the things I can do to help the dogs at the centre? I want to bring my own snacks to give to the dogs, is that allowed?”
These are some of the questions that EXO’s Baekhyun asked the journalists before the photoshoot. As if he had grown up with unwanted/rejected animals, this boy knew and understood all the things that dogs like and need.
The date that Baekhyun was supposed to visit the centre for unwanted dogs, during his busy schedule for EXO’s special winter album promotions, was decided. On the much anticipated day when Baekhyun went to meet the unwanted dogs, the broadcasting team received a message saying that Baekhyun would arrive at the adoption centre early in the morning, and so the broadcasting team went earlier too. Upon hearing that Baekhyun was willing to give up his resting/sleep time to spend as much time as he could at the animal adoption centre, the manager was touched and agreed to go with him early in the morning.
Baekhyun arrived at the centre that day wearing clothes that were so casual and comfortable looking that one would not be able to tell whether he had come for a photoshoot or for a casual outing. “The photoshoot is important but it is also important that the dogs are able to feel comfortable with me and get closer to me as quick as possible. So, wouldn’t it be obvious for me to wear clothes that don’t make the dogs uncomfortable? (laughs),” he told us.
As expected, the boy knew what the animal clinic’s purpose was all about. A doctor at the animal clinic taught Baekhyun about all the things he had to know about helping the dogs at the clinic. The dreary and boring lesson time went for longer than 30 minutes but Baekhyun was very serious and watched with wide, attentive eyes, asking questions here and there. At the end of the lesson Baekhyun said, “So today, the things I have to do are – play with the dogs, teach them food/table manners, groom the dogs and take them for walks. Am I right?” He said this while folding down one finger for each activity and when he did this, he was cuter than the puppies.
“It’s so nice to spend time with dogs after such a long time. Going for walks and running together, seeing them wag their tails when I hold them in my embrace – I don’t think I could ever forget these dogs. Especially Bona (the dog he’s holding in the photo); I wish I could adopt her right now.”
“My heart broke after hearing that around 150,000 dogs get abandoned every year. Dogs are not just toys that you can just freely buy at the shops. The moment you decide that you want to have a dog, you also have to be prepared to treat them as if they are a part of your family”.
The dogs that were lucky enough to be taken care of by Baekhyun were Bona, Mumu, Sam and Sol. When Baekhyun first entered the animal playground at the clinic, the dogs wagged their tails excitedly and welcomed him. As if he was used to these dogs, Baekhyun hugged each of the dogs and played with them. Just as I thought. Dogs love me! (laughs)” As if he had turned into a child, Baekhyun smiled brightly while playing with the all the dogs. “I learnt that when you train dogs, you can’t yell or hit them. I learnt that you have to speak to them in a calm and low voice, so that the dogs can understand you. I used this technique exactly like how I was taught during my lesson and surprisingly the dogs listened to me really well,” Baekhyun said happily. Baekhyun matched each dog to a member of EXO, saying that the naughty and hyper dachshund, Bona, was like EXO’s maknae Sehun and the well-groomed, quiet and kind Mumu was like D.O.
When it was time for the dogs to be taken for a walk, after being inside for so long, the dogs were very excited – however, the one who was most excited was Baekhyun. The boy ran everywhere with the dogs and had a very fun time walking them. “I always had interest in dogs but after being properly taught about taking care of the unwanted dogs and being able to experience this, I thought ‘wow, as expected – dog caring as a profession is very different.’ (smiles) Especially, dog grooming. I tried it for the first time and it’s definitely not easy. I think you need special hand skills to make sure the dog isn&’t getting hurt while its hair is being clipped.”
Baekhyun said that even though he only spent one day at the clinic, he feels that his knowledge/awareness about dog care has grown a lot. He also said that people who take care of dogs and people who want to take care of dogs should firstly have knowledge about how to take care of them. “I’m really upset that I have to leave the dogs here and go. When I get the opportunity, I really want to come back and spend more time with these dogs. Next time I come to the adoption centre, I’ll meet new pretty dogs right? Because by then these dogs that I played with today will have found good owners and will be living happy lives“. | <urn:uuid:fe26563f-d32c-4b41-9530-a7ad8af6505c> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://ourexoticplanet.wordpress.com/tag/vol-3/ | 2022-01-22T21:16:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303884.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122194730-20220122224730-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.990004 | 1,280 |

The tendency for contractions of muscles in the upper limb to give rise to increases in the excitability of corticospinal projections to the homologous muscles of the opposite limb is well known. Although the suppression of this tendency is integral to tasks of daily living, its exploitation may prove to be critical in the rehabilitation of acquired hemiplegias. Transcranial direct current (DC) stimulation induces changes in cortical excitability that outlast the period of application. We present evidence that changes in the reactivity of the corticospinal pathway induced by DC stimulation of the motor cortex interact systematically with those brought about by contraction of the muscles of the ipsilateral limb. During the application of flexion torques (up to 50% of maximum) applied at the left wrist, motor evoked potentials (MEPs) were evoked in the quiescent muscles of the right arm by magnetic stimulation of the left motor cortex (M1). The MEPs were obtained prior to and following 10 min of anodal, cathodal or sham DC stimulation of left M1. Cathodal stimulation counteracted increases in the crossed-facilitation of projections to the (right) wrist flexors that otherwise occurred as a result of repeated flexion contractions at the left wrist. In addition, cathodal stimulation markedly decreased the excitability of corticospinal projections to the wrist extensors of the right limb. Thus changes in corticospinal excitability induced by DC stimulation can be shaped (i.e. differentiated by muscle group) by focal contractions of muscles in the limb ipsilateral to the site of stimulation. | <urn:uuid:93b503ba-bd89-44d3-bb85-33a7db5f84fd> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://research-portal.uea.ac.uk/en/publications/muscle-specific-variations-in-use-dependent-crossed-facilitation- | 2022-01-22T22:01:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303884.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122194730-20220122224730-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.928493 | 337 |
Locate high permeability rock type prior to infill drilling to avoid water breakthrough
Create an ensemble of models with the inherent subsurface uncertainties, conditioned to all available data while remaining consistent with history matching outcomes
- The probable locations and likely properties of the high permeability streaks were established
- This enabled the planning of infill drainage wells while avoiding a bypass of reserves or an acceleration of a water breakthrough.
You know it is there…
For this carbonate reservoir, no direct detection process can resolve the high-permeability streaks known to strongly influence flow patterns in the reservoir. If the operator drills an infill producing well perforating one or more streaks it will rapidly result in water breakthrough while leaving oil in place in the less permeable facies.
History matching in ResX
An ensemble of 100 realizations was created in ResX representing the reservoir variability and uncertainties for both the geology and the reservoir’s static and dynamic characteristics.
An iterative workflow history-matched the ensemble, resulting each time in small changes to equiprobable models to minimize the specified objective function (e.g., production rate, water cut and bottom hole pressure). The resulting P50 across 100 realizations shows clear high-permeability streaks (see fig 1B).
The cumulative oil production forecast from the history-matched ensemble captures the main uncertainties, notably FWL and structure. Seeing the spread of possible forecasts 5, 10, and 20 years ahead gives decision-makers a better grasp of business risks than the usual one or two deterministic scenarios yielded using conventional methods.
- Workflows honor the recommended static and dynamic modelling processes suited to the field’s complexity.
- Realistic sedimentological, structural and dynamic reservoir parameter uncertainties were identified and propagated to obtain a complete view of variability in the reservoir simulator response.
- These integrated workflows were used to generate an ensemble of equiprobable reservoir models.
- All realizations in the ensemble were then history-matched simultaneously, delivering improved matches for all the defined objective functions. Well-by-well matching achieves a good level match on the field level.
- Verification: PLT data was used as a blind test to validate the result. Trends of fluid flow along horizontal wells captured the characteristics of high permeability streaks
- Analysis of forecasted ensemble dynamic responses help evaluate the performance of existing infill targets and delineate new infill targets while understanding the associated risks under both static and dynamic uncertainty.
This is an onshore Abu Dhabi producing field owned and operated by ADNOC. The reservoir is an under-saturated oil reservoir with gross average thickness of 50 to 150 ft. The northern complex shelf-type carbonate exhibits large lateral and vertical rock property variations, while the southern lagoonal section has poor reservoir properties. The porosity and permeability ranges of the reservoir are 0.06 pu -0.3 pu and 1.2 mD – 2500 mD. There are unclear lineaments within the field’s structure that are seismically unresolved.
The field has been in full production since 2006, with 9 horizontal producer wells (6 of them active) in the shelf marginal area each with open hole completion of 2,000 to 3,000 ft drain hole.

I’ve known the woman who runs these tours for a few years now, and Ionian Jewel Tours founder and president, Nancy Ursino Howard, is amazingly well-versed in all things Italy. So, I’m hoping to catch up with her and participate in the “Umbria, Le March & Rome Tour,” March 13-23, 2015.
Music, wine, food and fun will be all that surrounds from the time you land in Rome to start the tour. From Rome, the plan is to head to Assisi for a stay at Castello Di Petrata, where a relaxing day will lead to a fabulous dinner with wines of the region. On March 15, the day will be spent exploring the historic sites of Assisi: Basilica di San Francesco, Cathedral of Santa Chiara, Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, and possibly The Church of San Damiano.
The culinary delight in this day will be either a rustic Umbrian lunch or dinner at La Stalla (The Stable) will showcase the cooking method of La Brace (hot coals) to create a rich smoky flavor. Another day will lead to the Etruscan town of Perugia, home to Perugina Chocolate. Within this historic center, there will be much time to savor the sights, shop and dine before heading to Cantina Chiorri for a wine tasting. The grape of Grechetto has Greek origins and was planted throughout central Italy, particularly in the Umbrian region.
Next stop: the town of Monteprandone in the Le Marche region, where the tour group will check in at Hotel/Agriturismo Il Sapore della Luna before heading out to explore the organic vineyard. The days to follow will include wine tastings, a visit to Ascoli Piceno, and possibly a visit to the Adriatic coast before heading to Rome. The Hotel Tiber at Fiumicino awaits, and once checked in, there will be tours of Vatican City, St. Peter’s Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, home to the Pope and decorated by the talents of Michelangelo and Botticelli. A walking tour guide will meet the group to continue touring historic landmarks such as the Spanish Steps, Fountain of Trevi, Roman Forum, Colosseum and Pantheon. Time on your own is in order to do some shopping or enjoy an espresso at a nearby cafe — or better yet, a gelato.
So, if you’ve always dreamed of visiting Italy and want to do it in style and avoid trying to figure it all out on your own, you’ll want to join the March 13 Ionion Jewel Tours excursion so that you can relax and enjoy every moment, knowing you’re taken care of by an expert.
So, by now you’re wondering how much? The cost for this tour (space IS limited) is $3,499.00, and includes airfare from Boston, two meals a day, the minibus/private driver/transfers, all excursions/hotels/double-occupancy accommodations, and wine, of course . What it doesn’t include is anything you do outside of the itinerary, such as wining and dining, or enjoying that gelato during your own exploration time. You will also be responsible for museum tickets and driver gratuities.

So the second official round of talks to reestablish diplomatic relations between Cuba and the United States wrapped up last week and the tricky bits are beginning to overshadow the initial excitement. Not surprisingly a huge hang-up is money, because banking in Cuba is hamstrung by its designation as a sponsor of terrorism. You can read all the details in this Reuters piece or this New York Times article, or just talk to any Cuban artist or American collector.
Even though it’s been legal to import Cuban art and photography ever since Sandra Levinson and her Center for Cuban Studies won a pioneering lawsuit against the U.S. Treasury Department in 1991, actually paying for pieces is still a hassle.
One amazing contemporary artist we met was willing to take a 10% down payment in Cuban currency, let us walk away with a $10,000 painting and work out the details later through the honor system. We don’t routinely walk around with $1,000 in our pockets and you can’t walk up to an ATM for extra cash in Havana so we couldn’t even consider the generous, trusting offer of an artist.
Turns out we were smart to sweat the small stuff. Art historian Rebekah Jacob, who sells vintage Cuban revolutionary photography prints from her gallery in Charleston, once had an entire shipment of purchased work impounded by U.S. customs and the legal bill to sort it all out would have been costlier than the photographs themselves.
Robin Blackman is another gallerist who fell in love with Cuban photography when she first visited the famous Fototeca De Cuba center in the 80s. She and her photographer husband were so impressed with the work of new generation of Cuban photographers that they opened an LA branch of Fototeca. She says it became the first independent gallery in the US to develop a relationship with the Cuban government and bring an exhibit of emerging photographers to LA. Eventually the Fototeka LA gallery closed but she still has a few vintage prints. Here’s the crazy part. She recently sold a few but can’t pay the photographer because, decades later, the embargo means he can’t accept US dollars and he doesn’t have internet access to keep in touch on a regular basis.
That’s how convoluted the unintended consequences become when Cuba is designated as a sponsor of terrorism. Ordinary people, and extraordinary art, suffer.
In less than 24 hours I feel like a celebrity in Myanmar. I’m drenched in sweat, my hair is haphazardly clamped up off my neck and I’m sporting none-too-sexy cargo pants yet natives keep taking my picture.
I am walking around the docks of Yangon with my photographer husband who is happily capturing the magic hour of golden light when it first happens. Gary always asks permission of the people he approaches. So I’m not surprised when the young man squatting on the prow of a motorized dugout canoe nods a casual yes. Or that Gary instantly offers the camera’s viewfinder up so this man who ferries chickens, bananas and street food vendors across the river all day can see his own portrait.
In most third-world countries where we travel and shoot, the subjects of Gary’s digital street photos grin or giggle when they see themselves in a monitor, possibly for the first time. But this barefoot young man in a traditional longyi cocks his head, checks out his look and casually shrugs his shoulders. Then he whips a cell phone out of top fold of his longyi and snaps a picture of us.
I’m shocked. I thought Myanmar was right down there with North Korea in cell phone penetration. We’re talking about a country of 65 million people who up until a few years ago were suppressed by a military junta. I’m sure on a Burmese Facebook page somewhere there is a shot of two jet-lagged Americans, mouths gaped in astonishment.
The next time I get the paparazzi treatment is as I step out of a boat to check out a 170-year-old monastery on Inle Lake. Again, I’m caught completely off guard. I’m surrounded by an architectural and spiritual beauty revered for centuries and yet cell phones are emerging from longyis and snapping photos of me. I feel like a specimen, a cultural curiosity suddenly on the other side of the camera.
“Is it that I look American?” I ask Gary. We do come from a country that only recently lifted travel embargoes and we’ve yet to meet another American tourist on this trip. Maybe I should enjoy the brief period of novelty before this country begins a predictable love/hate relationship with U.S. tourism.
“And that would distinguish you from German, Swiss, Canadian and Australian women how exactly?” Gary responds.
It isn’t until two policemen guarding our newly built, Chinese hotel in Mandalay take my picture that the truth occurs to me. Spoiler alert – it isn’t about me.
This is simply a country full of people who have just entered the cell phone age. Mobile giants from Norway, Qatar and Japan pounced on government contracts in 2014, getting in on the bleeding edge of connectivity.
Here’s a picture from one of those company’s Facebook site the hot August day they started selling cell phones in Mandalay. The cops taking my picture with their phones right now were probably in that line somewhere.
The number of mobile phone users in Myanmar is expected to reach up to 80 percent of the country’s population during the fiscal year 2015-16, according to Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Technology. Even if that number is wishful thinking on the part of the military government, the fact that it is wishful is illuminating. The military could have followed Kim Jung-un’s lead and kept the country disconnected, in the communications dark ages. But before I get too impressed with Burmese political altruism I read this in the Financial Times.
For the new rulers of the state still known to many as Burma, a mobile-phone network is precious because it’s a rare way to make a demonstrable change to people’s lives before the polls.
I knew it wasn’t my fashion sense. And my Americanism is not so intriguing that my every step is documented by the natives. My would-be paparazzi are just Burmese people suddenly connecting to the rest of the world. Myanmar is a ten-year-old girl with her first camera phone. She is obsessed with a new toy. Watch out world. Next will surely come the avalanche of Burmese selfies and photobombing.
This is a true story of travel, sanctions and two optimistic Millennials: Amuh is from Mandalay, Myanmar and Alex from Havana, Cuba. One has come of age after Americans began traveling to his country, the other has never known a world without sanctions.
Amuh drives a taxi owned by his mother and chatters freely about politics. Right now he’s pissed that elections in Myanmar have been delayed until late 2015 but thinks Aung Sang Suu Kyi’s party will win a majority and change the constitutional amendments that prevent her taking her rightful role as president. He worked legally in Malaysia and realizes that his philosophy diploma from a Burmese degree mill university system is useless. He plans on starting a business before starting a family.
Alex is also a college graduate. His degree is in English and he spends all day trying to convince tourists that his uncle owns the Buena Vista Social Club and he can get them a good ticket. He feels sorry for Americans because we don’t get free healthcare and education, thinks Raul Castro is awesome for allowing cell phones in Cuba but can’t afford the $6 an hour it would take in an internet café to build the tour guide website he hopes will provide a better future for his wife and baby girl.
Amush and Alex’s stories explain why travel is so important to a free society and why even the most principled tourists have doubts about the effectiveness of sanctions.
As someone who grew up in South Africa during the era of Apartheid, I have complicated feelings and experiences with international sanctions. I applaud the humanitarian ideals behind them. But I’ve seen, first-hand, the economic misery they create when immoral, corrupt governments use sanctions to dig their own hole deeper.
I’ve also seen how inflated Americans perceive our importance to be. And how hypocritical we can be. Myself included. We Americans somehow think that visiting Cuba under the special exemptions of guided photo clubs or university tour groups is okay, but that skirting the rules and arriving on our own via Mexico or Canada is somehow immoral. We’re okay with pilfering baseball players from their $100-a-month island teams but buying Cuban cigars is evil. On a good day we can see across the Florida straights but people are forced to risk their lives to reunite with their families. The original intent of the sanctions might have made sense 54 years ago but the way we dance around modern-day Cuba is nothing short of ethical contortionism.
I’d like to think that the heavy, well-intentioned hand of American sanctions will help, like they eventually did in South Africa. But Alex is still hanging out in Plaza Vieja, gratefully counting his egg and sugar rations and waiting for Raul’s next handout. I don’t know whether to be comforted by his naïve optimism or heartbroken.
But what about Amuh’s more cautious hopes for a better future? Again, I’d like to give credit to sanctions. But for the last twenty years, European and Chinese tourists largely ignored them and visited in well-heeled droves. The surface changes evident in Myanmar today may have had as much to do with Internet access, Chinese and Indian economic investment and the diplomacy and well wishes of ordinary tourists.
I’ve dreamed of visiting Myanmar ever since working/traveling in three of its bordering countries: Thailand, Laos and China. I stood on the banks of the Mekong, my tattered, beloved copy of “The Piano Tuner” in hand, wondering if I could look myself in the mirror if I crossed that river to the land once known as Burma. The beloved daughter of its national hero was under house arrest, the military junta was killing monks and jailing journalists.
I couldn’t do it. I waited until the sanctions were lifted and “The Lady” was free. I waited until my old agency, Ogilvy PR Worldwide opened an office in Yangon. I waited for my conscience to be clear. And guess what? I still have mixed feelings. I’ll be writing about my travels in posts to come but I have no answers. I could buy an Aung Sang Suu Kyi T-shirt, made in China of course, and not have to look over my shoulder or worry that the shopkeeper would be arrested. But I was still not allowed to venture out West, where Rohingya Muslims are still kept in what are essentially concentration camps.
If anything, I feel like I waited too long. Not because Myanmar is already so tourist-savvy and overpriced. But because by staying at home I could not be a witness – to its triumphs or its tragedies. | <urn:uuid:10018f38-b500-4eb0-9b87-6b2ffc1ec305> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://teresabruce.me/tag/sanctions/ | 2022-01-22T21:34:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303884.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122194730-20220122224730-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.963732 | 2,383 |

Endearing ‘SuperNight’ low-light mode makes this super-sized smartphone great for ‘golden hour’ travel photography
Smartphones make bad cameras. They’re fine in bright light, but get anywhere near dusk, dawn or nightfall and the photos they take are noisy and nauseous. Not so the P8.
Has Huawei spotted a gap in the market? No, not for unpronounceable phones, but for a phone cameras capable of taking photos at night. We tested its SuperNight mode out for a series of dusk shots, a few time-lapses and some video, and all came out thoroughly superior to an iPhone 5S.
With SuperNight mode engaged, the P8 produces noise-free – and highly colourful – images, while a nice bonus feature is that you can take still images even when the P8 is taking a video. It’s not going to persuade many people to change their phones, but for travel we found the P8 hugely more versatile than the iPhone. We’re not the only ones who think so – see here, here and here for more examples of SuperNight mode in action. | <urn:uuid:2137a676-e265-4984-9514-fc52de41ecd6> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://travgear.com/2015/10/01/reviewed-huawei-p8-smartphone/ | 2022-01-22T20:54:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303884.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122194730-20220122224730-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.917237 | 254 |

690127 - Letter to Anuradha and Tulsi written from Los Angeles
January 27, 1969
My Dear Anuradha Dasi and Tulsi Dasi,
Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of both your letters dated January 25, 1969 and January 21, 1969 respectively, and I have carefully noted the contents in each. You have both expressed a sincere desire to leave San Francisco immediately and come to Los Angeles where you can share an apartment for both of you and your children. This idea seems to be a good solution to both of your problems, and as soon as you are able you may do it. If neither of you are very peaceful staying in San Francisco then it is not very good for Krishna Consciousness, and I think the conditions will be improved if you come to Los Angeles. So as you are able, I shall look forward to seeing you again with your children in Los Angeles.
I hope this will meet you both in good health.
Your ever well-wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
NB: I have placed the peacock feather which was sent by Anuradha upon Lord Jagannatha in my altar room, and He is looking very beautiful with it. | <urn:uuid:146b4f67-8de5-4bd1-ab59-6b758c774719> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://vanisource.org/wiki/690127_-_Letter_to_Anuradha_and_Tulsi_written_from_Los_Angeles | 2022-01-22T19:55:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303884.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122194730-20220122224730-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.979112 | 263 |

HB 2371 and Status of Bills
The deadline for committees to hear bills originally assigned to them was Friday, February 22nd. While bills not heard in their committee of origin can generally be considered "dead," we will continue to monitor activity in the House and Senate for bill amendments related to the HOA industry.
The green box to the right has the status of each bill we are tracking. Bills that are now considered “dead”, read “dead this session” and if still active is noted where in the process they are.
HB 2371 sponsored by Representative Ugenti passed out of the House Government Committee with a vote of 8 ayes to 1 nay. It will now go to the House Rules Committee and then proceed to the House floor for a vote. You can view the bill here: http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/51leg/1r/adopted/h.2371-se-gov.pdf.
Some members have asked for more detail regarding this bill, below a recap of what impact the language has on an association or Board member. HB 2371 has some reasonable language while not having any real negative impact on our communities.
- Language in the first section of the bill (9-461.15 and 11-810), would prohibit a municipality or county from requiring developers or builders from creating HOAs. Based on our experience, this is not detrimental to the future of HOAs as the developers and builders create their own CC&Rs and plats with common areas but not generally as a result of a demand by the applicable city or county. They would still be able to create HOAs.
- HB 2371 as amended would also give management companies the statutory authority to execute liens on behalf of our associations and to appear in small claims court as a representative vs. just a fact witness so that our Board members would no longer have to attend hearings with us. The bill goes on to provide clarification on “or other form of delivery” as far as voting in annual meetings to specifically state by “electronic mail and by facsimile” which is somewhat worrisome given the success we have had with the ballot process but we can still make this work and it does provide clarification. HB 2371 also provides for a more detailed disclosure for HOAs and condos via the annual corporation renewal with the corporation commission starting January 1, 2015.
- Under section 41-2198.01 there is language in the bill that deals with complaints or petitions filed by a homeowner through the Administrative Law Judge or ALJ hearing process and this language states that if the petitioner or homeowner wishes to dismiss the request before a hearing is scheduled then the filing fee would be refunded to the petitioner or homeowner.
- The last section of HB 2371 includes language under 33-1806 (HOAs) and 33-1260 (condominiums) that describes what information an HOA or condo can request regarding tenants of owners and what cannot be requested. Whereas we could not ask for a copy of the lease agreement, we can, however, ask for names of tenants, contact information, names of minor children of the tenant occupying the home or unit, the time period of the lease and a description of tenants’ vehicles and license plate numbers. This creates a statutory opportunity for associations to request this information which has not been readily available in the past. A fee of $25 could also be charged by the association or managing agent each time a new tenant occupies the home or unit.
HB 2527 – This bill states that a condominium association could not prohibit the indoor or outdoor display of a “political sign” by a unit owner on the owner’s property except earlier than 71 days before Election Day and later than 3 days after Election Day. The bill has been successfully passed by the House and was transmitted to the Senate for committee assignment on March 1, 2013. The House engrossed version of the bill as transmitted to the Senate can be found at the following link. http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/51leg/1r/bills/hb2527h.pdf
SB 1278 - This bill states that planned communities would have no authority over public roadways dedicated to a government entity. Unlike similar prior years’ bills, this bill also states that this would only apply to those planned communities whose CC&Rs are recorded after December 31, 2014. This bill successfully passed the Senate and has been assigned to the House Government Committee. Following is the link to the Senate engrossed version of the bill. http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/51leg/1r/bills/sb1278s.pdf
SB 1302 – This bill provides additional clarification on the design guideline/architectural review committee bill that became law after last year’s session. This bill successfully passed the Senate and has been assigned to the House Government Committee. Following is the link to the Senate engrossed version of the bill. http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/51leg/1r/bills/sb1302s.pdf | <urn:uuid:83e26bb8-4372-4679-9ee2-03a883723880> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.associatedasset.com/hoa-resources/legislative-updates/arizona/2013/3/1/hb-2371-and-status-of-bills/ | 2022-01-22T20:24:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303884.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122194730-20220122224730-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.950594 | 1,057 |
Springfield Mo. motorcycle accident lawyers talk about a recent fatal motorcycle accident and general thoughts regarding motorcycle accidents and the legal consequences.
Wednesday August 17 a motorcyclist from Indiana was forced off the road while he was driving on Missouri 465 in Taney County. The car crash occurred around 5 p.m. about three miles northwest of Branson. The motorcyclist was forced off the road and ran into an embankment when the other vehicle changed lanes. The offending vehicle fled the scene. Missouri State Highway Patrol is investigating the accident and still looking for the other vehicle.
The way to determine if there is cause for a wrongful death or personal injury suit is to investigate the facts and determine all the circumstances involved in and leading up to the motorcycle accident.
General Overview By a Springfield Missouri Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Without reference to the recent motorcycle accident, here are a few tips and thoughts in general. Often it is important to have an investigator obtain and follow up on the police report.

Section 1 – Overview
Family violence is any form of abuse or neglect that a child or adult experiences from a family member, or from someone with whom they have or had an intimate relationship (including relationships with a person in a position of trust). There are many forms of violence, including physical, emotional, sexual or financial abuse, or neglect. It includes intimate partner violence (sometimes referred to as domestic violence), child maltreatment, and elder abuse. It can include violence from a current or former spouse or dating partner.
Family violence is a serious public health issue, with impacts on individuals, families and communities. Violence in relationships is often repeated or ongoing and can cause complex trauma. The effects of family violence on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health can persist throughout the life course, and can affect future generations.
Family violence touches all types of families in all parts of Canada. However, some families and communities are disproportionately affected by family violence.
Colonization, racism and the Indian Residential School system have had devastating effects on First Nations, Inuit and Métis in Canada, and laid the foundation for intergenerational cycles of violence. Other populations, including LGBTQ2+ people, persons with disabilities, and those living in northern, rural and remote areas, also experience higher rates of family violence, and have access to fewer supports and services.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many children, families and seniors have been at increased risk of family violence as families have faced economic and emotional stress; children and families have quarantined in home environments that are not always safe; and community contacts and supports have diminished. There is a need to explore and determine new ways to reach populations affected by family violence in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and to deliver programs and interventions in safe and trauma- and violence-informed ways.
Health promotion is the process of enabling individuals, families and communities to increase control over and improve their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health and wellbeing. Health promotion programs and interventions can help prevent family violence by fostering skills and behaviours for healthy and safe relationships. They can support survivors by equipping them with knowledge, abilities and supportive environments to reclaim and sustain their health and wellbeing.
Section 2 – Objectives of this funding opportunity
Through this funding opportunity, PHAC aims to increase the evidence-base and uptake of health promotion programs and interventions that are effective in preventing and addressing family violence and its health impacts. Projects will use trauma and violence-informed approaches that are tailored to the needs of those who have experienced, are experiencing, or are at-risk of experiencing family violence. Projects funded through this opportunity must contribute to the evidence-base of “what works” to prevent and address family violence and support the health of survivors. Projects must also support scale up and sustainability of approaches that are shown to be effective.
Types of programs or interventions
Projects should implement a health promotion program or intervention aiming to:
- Prevent family violence; and/or
- Support the health of survivors
Types of project activities
Each project must implement, and build the evidence-base through intervention research, a relevant health promotion program or intervention to prevent or address family violence. The program or intervention may be:
- An existing program or intervention; or
- An adaptation, addition or modification to an existing program or intervention, to reach a new population, setting or context.
All projects must take the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and response efforts into consideration, proposing adaptations or new approaches where relevant.
All projects must integrate knowledge mobilization activities to share and exchange evidence-based learning about effective approaches.
Projects must also include strategies to support the future sustainability, and the potential for scale up of programs or interventions, should they be shown to be effective.
Ineligible programs, interventions or activities
This funding opportunity focuses on family violence. Projects that aim to prevent or address other forms of violence, such as violence in institutions, gang violence, or suicide and self-harm, will not be supported.
Projects that propose to deliver primary care services, including treatment, therapy or individual counselling, will not be supported.
Section 3 – Who can apply
The following types of Canadian organizations are eligible to apply funding:
- Not-for-profit and voluntary organizations
- Unincorporated groups, associations, societies and coalitions
- Provincial, territorial, regional, and municipal governments and agencies
- Organizations and institutions supported by provincial and territorial governments (regional health authorities, schools, post-secondary institutions, etc.)
- First Nations, Inuit and Métis organizations
Special consideration for populations disproportionately affected
While this Call for Proposals is open to projects addressing any form of family violence in any population in Canada, PHAC is committed to promoting equity and reducing health disparities. Special consideration will be given to proposals for projects that demonstrate strong relationships with First Nations, Inuit and Métis; LGBTQ2+ people; persons with disabilities; and other groups who face multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and who are disproportionately affected by family violence.
Projects working with First Nations, Inuit or Métis populations
PHAC recognizes the importance of supporting Indigenous-led programming and research. Projects reaching First Nations, Inuit or Métis populations as a primary audience should be led by Indigenous organizations or research teams, or by organizations or research teams that provide evidence of meaningful and culturally safe collaboration with First Nations, Inuit or Métis communities.
Applicant capacity requirements
Applicants to this funding opportunity, together with their collaborators, should have the necessary experience and knowledge to deliver the project successfully. Capacity requirements include:
- Experience or expertise related to preventing and/or addressing family violence
- Experience in the delivery of programs or interventions that reach the project’s primary population
- Strong relationships that facilitate the ability to reach the project’s primary population (for example, this might involve agreements with schools, shelters, First Nations, Inuit or Métis communities, child advocacy centres, etc., depending on the project. This would need to be demonstrated at the full proposal stage)
- Researchers should have appropriate subject matter knowledge and sensitivity
- Researchers should have experience and capacity to conduct intervention research and/or outcome evaluation, including the methodological experience to demonstrate measurable change resulting from the program or intervention
Applicants are required to establish collaborative relationships to bring the necessary capacity to the project. For example, a service delivery organization might collaborate with a research partner to integrate both programming and research capacity. Collaboration is required from the proposal development stage through to implementation of the project, if funded.
Section 4 – Key requirements
Projects supported through this funding opportunity must incorporate the following key requirements.
This funding opportunity aims to increase the knowledge and uptake of programs and interventions that are rooted in evidence. Applicants must provide evidence of the effectiveness of the program or intervention, and/or propose a plan to measure the effectiveness through intervention research. Various research designs may be used to develop or demonstrate evidence. This can include research methodologies used by First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities and can include traditional Indigenous ways of knowing.
This funding opportunity aims to promote health equity by reducing disparities in health outcomes among population groups in Canada. Applicants must demonstrate understanding and consideration of the disproportionate effects of family violence among population groups in Canada. For example, applying a health equity lens would recognize and respond to differences based on sex and gender, ethnic/cultural backgrounds, migration histories, geographic locations, sexual orientation and socioeconomic status.
Trauma- and violence-informed practice is built on the knowledge and understanding of the impacts of trauma and violence on people’s lives and health. It addresses the effects of historical, intergenerational and ongoing trauma, as well as structural and interpersonal violence, that people have experienced as a result of political processes and systemic violence, such as colonization and cultural oppression. The approach requires programs and interventions to integrate this knowledge into all aspects of practice and programming in ways that foster safety, respect and empowerment. Applicants must describe the ways in which the design, implementation and evaluation of the proposed project, including intervention research methods, are trauma- and violence-informed.
Multi-level and multi-sectoral collaboration
Preventing and addressing family violence is complex and requires collaboration across multiple levels and sectors. Applicants should include plans for multi-level and multi-sectoral collaboration. This may include project activities that engage individual, family, and community and system levels; and activities that involve collaborators both within and outside the health sector, including researchers, health and social service providers, policy makers, educators, police and justice, etc.
Promoting and improving cultural safety involves the understanding of social, political and historical contexts to design policy, research and practice that are physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually safe. Applicants must demonstrate knowledge and understanding of cultural factors relevant to their project, and integrate cultural safety into the proposed project’s design, implementation and evaluation, including intervention research methods.
Section 5 – Funding amount and duration
The value of funding per project is a minimum of $100,000 annually. There is no maximum budget per project. PHAC anticipates supporting up to 30 projects with an envelope of up to $6 million per year.
Projects can be a minimum of two years and a maximum of four years in duration.
Applicants will be assessed on their ability to leverage in-kind and financial contributions that will contribute to the project’s development, implementation and associated research. A specific matched funding ratio is not required. Applicants will be required to demonstrate that these contributions are secured if invited to submit a full proposal.
Section 6 – Application process
This Call for Proposals is a two-step process. The first step is the submission of a LOI, which provides an overview of the proposed project. Applicants whose LOIs best fit the intent of this funding opportunity will be invited to move on to the second step by submitting a full proposal. Applicants with ineligible, incomplete or unsuccessful LOIs will not be invited to submit a full proposal.
Applications must be submitted by 11:59pm EST on January 27, 2021 using PHAC’s Preventing and Addressing Family Violence LOI Template. To obtain a copy of the LOI Template, please contact: [email protected] with the subject line “LOI Preventing and Addressing Family Violence”.
It is anticipated that projects funded through this Call for Proposals would begin in fall 2021. Please note that timelines are subject to change.
Section 7: Other considerations
Official language requirements
The Government of Canada is committed to enhancing the vitality of English and French linguistic minority communities in Canada (i.e., Francophones living outside the province of Quebec and Anglophones living in the province of Quebec) by supporting and assisting their development and fostering the full recognition and use of both official languages in Canadian society. Projects must be accessible in one or both official languages depending on the reach and audience. For additional information, consult the Official Languages Act.
Gender-based analysis requirements
The Government of Canada is committed to Gender-based Analysis Plus (GBA+). GBA+ incorporates consideration of gender as well as other identity factors such as age, education, language, geography, culture and income in the development of policies and programs. Applicants are expected to incorporate these considerations into their LOI submission. For additional information regarding GBA+, consult Women and Gender Equality Canada’s website.
Applicants must ensure that their research protocol is consistent with the principles set out in the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans (TCPS). If funded, projects must also have their research protocol approved by a research ethics board that adheres to the TCPS. If projects are unable to access a research ethics board compliant with the TCPS, they can apply through the Health Portfolio's research ethics board.
Ownership of research and data
Funding recipients and/or their community partners will retain ownership and control over data and research produced, and will be responsible for publishing, disseminating and mobilizing knowledge developed through funded projects.

Glossary of terms
Child maltreatment refers to any form of physical, emotional or sexual abuse, or neglect against children 18 years old and younger. It also includes exposure to intimate partner violence whether through direct witnessing or indirect knowledge.
Elder abuse (sometimes referred to as the mistreatment of older adults) refers to any form of physical, emotional, sexual or financial abuse, or neglect against an older adult by someone in a relationship of trust. For the purpose of this funding opportunity, the focus is on elder abuse in the context of family violence.
Family violence is any form of abuse or neglect that a child or adult experiences from a family member, or from someone with whom they have or had an intimate relationship. It includes intimate partner violence (sometimes referred to as domestic violence), child maltreatment, and elder abuse. It can include violence from a current or former spouse or dating partner.
Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over and improve their health (it is distinct from health care or treatment of an illness or injury). A health promotion program or intervention aims to create supportive environments and provide programming that help people develop skills, knowledge and resilience to improve and maintain their physical and/or mental health.
Intervention research is the use of scientific methods to understand and identify “what works”, for whom and in which settings. It can include qualitative and quantitative measures, as well as research methodologies used by First Nations, Inuit and Métis. Intervention research requires planning and delivering a program or intervention with research questions in mind, and should be incorporated into a project from the outset. Researchers should be part of the project team from the proposal development stage through to implementation of the project, if funded. Research questions may measure and assess changes in knowledge, skills, attitudes, behaviours, and/or health outcomes.
Intimate partner violence (sometimes referred to as domestic violence) refers to any form of physical, emotional, sexual or financial abuse by a current or former partner or spouse. It can also include coercive and control behaviour.
Knowledge mobilization is the reciprocal flow and uptake of research knowledge between researchers and knowledge users, in such a way that it can be put into active use and have positive impacts in policy and practice.
Ongoing operations refer to the organization’s core activities that are not directly related to the funded project.
Programs and interventions are a set of actions and practical strategies that aim to bring about positive changes in individuals, communities, organizations, or systems in a way that produces identifiable and measurable outcomes. For the purpose of this funding opportunity, the terms are used interchangeably.
The scaling up of effective programs and interventions refers to sustained and increased impact. Scale up of a program or intervention may include reproducing and implementing in a new environment, integrating into a system (e.g. school boards or health systems), or adapting for new audiences or populations.
Activities are considered standalone when there is no program intervention with a project audience. Examples include conferences, symposia, and workshops, audio visual production or website/smartphone application development and maintenance, when not part of a health promotion program or intervention.
Sustainability refers to the ability for activities to continue over time. For the purpose of this funding opportunity, sustainability may take different forms, such as sustaining knowledge, sustaining the effective delivery of programs, sustained collaboration or impact, or sustained funding for ongoing delivery.
Trauma is both the experience of, and a response to, an overwhelmingly negative event or series of events, such as interpersonal violence, personal loss, war or natural disaster. In the context of violence, trauma can be acute (resulting from a single event) or complex (resulting from repeated experiences of interpersonal and/or systemic violence).

Last week I posted about this skirt that I found on PLNDR, it cost merely $4.94 after discounts and including shipping. I was also excited about trying on more BB Dakota things after seeing how nicely some of their things look on Jen. I was worried the 0 would be way too small on me as I have like 20 pounds on the aforementioned petite blogger.
The skirt came in a sealed bag, a good start, I would say. Frankly, the skirt looked rather large sitting in the bag.
I soon found out that BB Dakota is likely another brand that has inconsistent sizing. This skirt fits smaller than the BB Dakota dress in XS that I have but is still a rather large skirt.
This is how it looked on the model. I am happy that it looks much longer on me (as expected, as I am only 5’2)
I wouldn’t otherwise keep a skirt that fits poorly but it wouldn’t make any economical sense for me to return something this cheap…the return shipping alone will probably cost more than what I spent on the skirt.
I wouldn’t be opposed to giving this skirt away though if anyone is interested. | <urn:uuid:1f3dc391-7d51-488e-9df0-fec899421da5> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.elleblogs.com/2010/09/under-5-bb-dakota-skirt-in-sz-0.html | 2022-01-22T21:21:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303884.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122194730-20220122224730-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.982344 | 245 |

Automatic Georgian Sectional Garage Door Grantham
We fitted this New Automatic Georgian Sectional Garage Door in Grantham last week. This door is a G.D.S. Sectional Garage Door in Vortex form. The door was also fitted with a Chamberlain Liftmaster LM60 Automatic Operator.
In this case there is no back entrance to the garage in this case so we also fitted an Emergency Manual Release. We always fit these if the new automatic garage door is the only entrance to the garage. The E.M.R. enables you to disable the motor and put the door into manual mode from the outside incase of a power cut.
As there was no room above the garage the customer opted for a single skin door in this case. If there were ajoining or above rooms they may have chosen the insulated option to significantly improve heat retention. Single skin sectional doors are availiable up to 9 foot wide and can cut the cost of fitting a sectional door considerably.
The customers were very happy with the finish and the function of the door. We think the style matches perfectly with the house and are very happy with the fit. | <urn:uuid:336f7cb4-14a6-4dc7-a541-194e1c001d7c> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.gdcg.co.uk/automatic-georgian-sectional-garage-door/ | 2022-01-22T19:56:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303884.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122194730-20220122224730-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.940202 | 234 |

But we believe that a collective effort to take as many small steps as possible can make a big difference.
Today, with the launch of our #Do1Thing campaign, we are providing you, our readers, with all the expert advice and practical tips you need to be better informed and equipped to take positive action.
We believe we can all make simple lifestyle changes that collectively will help slow down global warming.
From increased recycling and use of green energy to more sustainable buying habits, everyone can do their bit to limit global warming. We can all do one thing that can start to make a difference.
Our UK-wide network of websites, daily and weekly newspapers, including GloucestershireLive and the Citizen and Echo newspapers in Gloucestershire, is encouraging all of our readers - and there are more than 155 million of you every month across the UK - to come together for the common good.
Below is a list of 50 ideas to get you started - and everything you need to know about our campaign can be found here.
At GloucestershireLive we already have a hot water tap, we already have sensory lights and we already recycle everything we use.
As a team, we have each pledged to #Do1Thing as well - and we hope that together, we will make a difference.
Join us at #Do1Thing and tell us how you will make a difference for our futures. | <urn:uuid:97961009-d2c1-4323-afc0-796c7f364700> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/gloucester-news/opinion-not-powerless-steps-take-3762484 | 2022-01-22T22:09:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303884.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122194730-20220122224730-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.952544 | 370 |
I am not normally one to spend money on backing kickstarter projects. In fact before to day I hadn’t backed any. However, I’ve been looking at a one particular project and I’m pretty excited about it. It’s a remote trigger / intervalometer / smart phone tethering system called pulse.
What is clever about this is that works with your smart phone (iPhone and android only), and not only can you trigger the camera remotely, but the images are then transmitted back to the phone so you can check the exposure and histogram. If the exposure isn’t right you can adjust it from the phone without having to go back to the camera.
When it comes to doing time-lapse the system apparently has some pretty smart technology built into it. When you doing time-lapse of sunsets or sunrises you need to keep adjusting your exposure for the changing light conditions. With pulse the app analyses the histogram for you and auto-magically changes the exposure for you.
You can find out more about the product here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alpinelabs/pulse-your-camera-upgraded
The whole package looks good and checking up on the company behind the product, it is not their first kickstarter project so I think the risk in investing is pretty low. If you decide to back it then obviously it’s at your own risk. I decided to back it and my pulse should arrive sometime in April. You can expect posts and videos about when it arrives.

The Delftse Poort, an impressive building made of steel and mirrored glass, was erected in 1992 on the site where the city gate stood from 1764 to 1940. It is located in the commercial heart of the Rotterdam Central District. The Delftse Poort, which has 42 floors and is 151 metres high, was the tallest skyscraper in the Netherlands when it was first built. When architect Abe Bonnema designed the striking building, he intended its users to add their own unique touch. Twenty-three years after it was built, the magnificent Delftse Poort is still an iconic feature in Rotterdam's impressive skyline. While no longer the tallest building in the city, it is still considered an architectural masterpiece that is flanked by other striking landmarks, such as the new Central Station.
CBRE Design Ramon Beijen + CBRE Global Investors Joanne Rozenburg
Over the centuries, Rotterdam has built an impressive reputation thanks to its international port and its bold architecture. 'The dominant culture in Rotterdam is to "put up or shut up," which is a challenge we as owners have taken to heart,' says Vincent van den Putten, asset manager at CBRE Global Investors. 'Together with Ramon Beijen, interior designer and creative director of CBRE, and suppliers like Mosa, we have demonstrated that you can transform an interior while still respecting the existing architecture. All it takes is a little courage, a good vision, and a gung-ho attitude!'
The warmth of ceramics
'We drew up plans for the future of the Delftse Poort in 2012,' says Van den Putten. 'At the time, the insurance company Nationale-Nederlanden was the only tenant in what was practically a sealed fortress. But the world has changed dramatically since then. The way people experience cities as a place to live and work is very different compared to twenty-five years ago. We need to adapt to our changing environment, keep up with developments, and dare to take the lead. It was important to give the building back to the city, partly as an ode to Bonnema's vision. Everyone knows this building, but no one's been inside. That was our biggest challenge.' Beijen nods in agreement, adding: 'The building was industrial, dark, and uninviting. We wanted to make it more transparent and accessible by softening the edges a little, adding an open entrance and huge windows that let in natural light, and above all highlighting the human nature of the building. It needed to become a square or park in the middle of the city; an urban retreat, if you will; an environment with organic shapes and warm materials like ceramic, wood, fabric, and plants. This was how we planned to add contrast while creating the necessary symbiosis.'
Elegant tiles as eye-catchers
'Buildings are no longer occupied by a single tenant; those days are over,' says Van den Putten. 'The same is true of the Delftse Poort. We transformed this single-tenant building into a multi-tenant building where you can work, meet, and relax; a lively and dynamic building full of movement. We involved all parties in the development process, from the owners KanAM and the CBRE Dutch Office Fund to the designers, the tenant Nationale-Nederlanden, our contractor BAM, our real estate team, and suppliers like Mosa.' Beijen agrees. 'Everyone in the chain was involved in the decision-making process. We created mock-ups based on our backgrounds, visions, and requirements and then compared them to determine whether our ideas were feasible,' he says.
'Ramon invited us to us to see the different floors and tiles,' explains Van den Putten. 'We even installed sixty square metres of flooring to get an idea of what it would look like,' Beijen adds. 'It's hard to get a sense of what a floor that size will look like based on mood boards alone! We found the perfect tile at the Salone del Mobile furniture fair. We'd worked with Mosa before, but the Core Collection Solids series was new to us. So we called them immediately to ask about it and then visited Mosa to discuss colours, hues, and tile sizes. We initially wanted a 90x90 centimeter tile, but after discussing it and testing it at length, we finally settled on a 60x60 centimeter tile instead. What makes the Core Collection Solids series so unique is its randomness – the floor looks like an organic whole instead of individual patterned tiles,' says Beijen. 'A plain tile doesn't work on a surface area of 3,000 square metres,' explains Van den Putten. 'It lacks charisma. We wanted a tile with a subtle pattern that could bring a floor that size to life. A huge floor really defines the look of a building, which means it's just as important to support a good concept with good design.' Beijen agrees and adds that ceramic tiles also reflect light very nicely. 'They warm up the space and give it a very different look compared to granite or concrete. The warmth of Core Collection Solids matched our design brief perfectly. We wanted a durable floor with a matt finish that could withstand intensive use. The ground floor is now open and houses a restaurant, a wine bar, an espresso bar, shops, a gym, and flexible offices and meeting rooms.'
Working under pressure
'We spent a long time trying to combine the perfect design with the perfect floor tiles,' says Van den Putten. 'When we finally found the right tile, we needed them delivered as soon as possible. Thanks to the contractor's quick work and Mosa's flexibility, we managed to get the job done in time. The dynamic interplay between continuous contact and planning, paired with crystal clear agreements, defined this project. It's kind of like the saying, "It takes two to tango," but then with multiple dance partners.'
'The success of this relationship is reflected in the responses we've received,' adds Beijen. 'Since we opened in April, we've received nothing but positive comments. People are pleasantly surprised and charmed by the way we've transformed this old building. It's got a real wow factor. We respected the original building and created a better balance between architecture and interior by adding light and warmth. We didn't change the façade because we wanted to keep the view to outside – to the new railway station, known locally as the Kapsalon. A logical interior design helped us create a natural flow of traffic inside the building; people are using the building intuitively without signs. It's become truly modern.' Van den Putten agrees. 'The openness of the building is very welcoming and the austerity of the exterior is offset by the warmth of the new interior.'
A sustainable future
The interior was not the only feature to be addressed at the Delftse Poort; several behind-the-scenes changes were made as well. Sustainability was a key factor in the new development. 'During the redevelopment process we thought about how waste, transport, and energy flows can best be managed,' explains Van den Putten. These issues were included in the tender. This building was constructed in 1992 and its location next to the railway station means there's no excuse to forgo public transport. We took it a step further: in the future, a special installation will store and recycle heat and cold to create a self-sustaining system. The use of smart applications has helped us achieve a thirty per cent reduction in energy consumption and a significant reduction in CO2 output. The building is BREEAM certified with an EU Energy Label of A. In short, it's been a unique and comprehensive project that has laid a solid foundation for intensive use. The building is now ready for the next thirty or so years.'

News & Advice
Get advice and news for a happier and more fulfilled
Maintaining your health and wellbeing provides the energy and capacity to endure the challenges that you may face in your role of caring for others. Good health and wellbeing mean that you can provide the best care to yourself, your family and your clients. Carers need to maintain their health and wellbeing to provide the best frame of mind to care for another individual or group.
To ensure caregiver burnout does not occur, you must practice emotional care with the same diligence you take when caring for others.
Emotional care refers to the practice of being mindful of our psychological health and adopting short but frequent daily habits to monitor and address psychological wounds when we sustain them. In your care-giver role – whether that is as counsellor, psychologist, coach, nurse or any other role where your main function is to care for another - burnout can manifest itself in a variety of ways. A few common signs to look out for include: anxiety, depression, irritability, new or worsening health problems, difficulty sleeping, trouble concentrating, drinking, smoking or eating more, or neglecting your self-care, health, and wellness.
Some of the most important tips for carers include:
The cumulative effects of stress can build over time and not be noticed until problems emerge. Apart from the above, there are plenty of useful strategies for managing stress, including:
Guilt, anger, resentment, fear, stress, anxiety, depression and grief are some of the emotions that will be encountered in your role. It is normal to feel as if you are going crazy at times, and it does not help to try to suppress or deny what you are feeling. The best way to deal with your feelings is to accept them, but make sure you can talk about your feelings with someone who understands, whether it is a family member, friend, counsellor or support group.
Depression is always a potential concern, and you should seek professional help if it becomes a serious issue.
Maintain an identity of your own separate from your role and keep your links to the world outside your job and role.

United Future leader Peter Dunne came to power with the support of the public, and now the public has turned on Mr Dunne.
Mr Dunne announced on Monday morning that he's leaving politics after 33 years in the job. He will step down at the election, saying that he's sensed a strong mood for change in his Ōhāriu electorate.
- Patrick Gower: How Winston and Jacinda forced Dunne out
- Patrick Gower: 'Jacinda Ardern effect' made Dunne dead in the water
- 'It wasn't me' - Jacinda Ardern denies forcing Peter Dunne out
On Tuesday, he told the AM Show he wished he had quit his job as MP earlier.
"It's tough after 33 years," he says. "The only niggling regret is perhaps I didn't do it earlier."
Mr Dunne says he'd been thinking about leaving for a while, but only decided to leave last week.
"Probably finally about Thursday of last week. It'd been brewing up for a while, I'd been thinking about this all year on and off. All of the polling and all of the data I was seeing from my electorate - and I'm only talking about my electorate only at this point - up until about three weeks ago was extraordinarily positive and all in my favour, so I saw no reason," he says.
"When the mood started to shift and I thought this was odd and I started to do some soundings I found that what was going on was people were saying 'Yeah, maybe it is time Peter, maybe it's time you moved on.'"
He's the third leader to go in three weeks, and Mr Dunne says this may not be the end of the chaos.
"This is an extraordinary unusual and volatile election, and I suspect there a few more twists and turns to come yet." | <urn:uuid:c1ab2623-4465-4ac6-96a2-3fc78073a5d4> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/election/2017/08/peter-dunne-wishes-he-d-quit-earlier.html | 2022-01-22T20:56:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303884.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122194730-20220122224730-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.990921 | 393 |

Little Josephine James Meder made her first television appearance! At just three weeks old, the daughter of THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS star Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe) and husband Rob Meder appeared with mommy in a segment on the April 20 episode of ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT being interviewed by host Matt Cohen, who played Griffin opposite her Margaux on ABC’s GENERAL HOSPITAL.
Hendrickson showed off their little bundle of joy who was born on March 27 and revealed that they call her “JJ” or “JoJo.” But the infant didn’t appear as camera-ready as her folks as she started crying as she was introduced to Cohen. The new mom showed off the nursery and the closet full of baby clothes. “We’re pretty stocked up,” she admitted.
Y&R wrote Hendrickson’s pregnancy into the soap, and on the April 21 episode they will air Chloe’s baby shower, shot five weeks ago just before they shut down production temporarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “There’s no date for Y&R to come back,” Cohen noted. “What does the future look like? Do you have any ideas on that?” Via webcam from her home, Hendrickson replied, “No, I have no idea” before laughing as she added, “I mean, I love Greg [Rikaart, Kevin] but we know that love scenes on soaps are just the worst, right? So, if they’re gonna cut those, I’m totally fine with it!”

Steamboat students fare better than peers on state testing; math scores decline
Students in the Steamboat Springs School District generally did as good or better in English language arts last school year but struggled to keep pace in math, according to results of state standardized testing.
For all grades, district grade level score summaries from the Colorado Measures of Academic Success assessment show the district had better results than students in the state as a whole, something that district Director of Teaching and Learning Jay Hamric said was normal.
But compared with the district’s own test scores in 2019 and 2018 — there was no standardized testing in 2020 — there are signs the pandemic had a detrimental affect on students. This is true particularly in math, where students across the board had worse scores last year than in the two pre-pandemic years.
“Across the state, across the nation, this is typical,” Hamric said about the lower math scores. “I can tell you from my conversations with teachers it is not surprising. … Inherently, having kids practice reading, practice writing was an easier task or assignment for kids to manage, as opposed to practicing math on their own.”
The numbers are not a measurement of growth, rather a comparison of students currently in the grade to those in the same grade in prior years. Across Colorado, participation in standardized testing was down from previous years, but Hamric said Steamboat had stronger participation than the state.
How much the scores say about students and the districts teaching them is unclear, as students were in a learning environment unlike any the standardized testing has tried to measure before. Officials with Denver Public Schools already said they would essentially disregard this year’s scores.
“It is obviously not as reliable as a normal year,” said Steamboat Superintendent Brad Meeks. “Our feeling was that we need to get some feedback in some type of standardized way. … Give us some data that we can continue to work on.”
Hamric said these scores generally line up with in-term assessments the district uses to gauge student learning. After receiving those results earlier this year, the district said it would hire more interventionists.
“Interventionists that we’ve hired, bringing back instructional coaches, all of those things are designed to help where we see some of these (learning) gaps occuring,” Meeks said.
Normally, the district would have tested students between third and eighth grades with both the math and English exams, but last year, students only took one of the two. Students in third, fifth and seventh grades took the English language arts test, and students in fourth, sixth and eighth grades took the math assessment.
For the English language arts assessment, Steamboat students tested above state achievement numbers by about 20%, which Hamric said was typical. In third grade, 62% of students met grade level standards last school year — a higher mark than the district earned in 2019 or 2018. Seventh grade was better, too, with 81% of students meeting expectations, where it was about 76% in both 2019 and 2018.
But fifth-grade students saw a decrease in test scores from prior years, with 70% meeting grade level English language arts expectations compared with 79% in 2019 and 74% in 2018.
“On the most part, we did right on par,” Hamric said. “One grade level might have been a little bit lower, and in some cases, we actually had more achievement.”
Math scores were not as good, with each grade tested having lower achievement scores than in prior years. Only half of fourth-grade students met grade level expectations last year, compared with 61% in 2019 and 65% in 2018. Eighth-grade achievement dropped by a similar margin from 2019 to this year, from 64% to 52%. Sixth grade saw the smallest drop from 46% in 2019 to 41% last year.
“Our in-term reports were showing that we weren’t seeing as much performance in math, and that also rang true with our CMAS results,” Hamric said.
Similar trends can be seen at the high school level on pre-SAT testing results. While ninth-, 10th- and 11th grade-students beat overall state scores, district math scores were lower.
In addition to hiring more interventionists, Hamric said the district is also trying to identify additional education gaps, adding a benchmark assessment in the middle school and utilizing various software programs to get faster feedback on how students are mastering standards.
With math specifically, Hamric said the district would continue to improve implementation of the new math curriculum, which at elementary schools went into place during the pandemic. Even in a normal curriculum rollout, Hamric said he would expect to see lower scores in the first year.
“We’re going to do a lot of work with aligning our math curriculum,” Hamric said. “In years to come, I hope to see more progress.”

RICHFIELD, Minn. (AP) - Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said Tuesday that new federal guidance allowing vaccinated people to go mask-free in many outdoor settings is a sign of progress and could help result in scaling back more COVID-19 restrictions next week.
“Masks coupled with vaccines is really the path out of this thing,” said Walz, who hoped that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announcement would convince more people to get shots and encourage them to wear masks when necessary.
Walz also cited the fact that active caseloads and new case counts continue to recede. Over the past two weeks, the rolling average number of daily new cases in Minnesota has decreased by more than 28%, according to Johns Hopkins University researchers.
“The moves coming now are the moves back to normal,” Walz said during a visit to a mobile vaccination site in Richfield.
“You can be in restaurants, you can be in movie theaters, we have kids in school, we’re doing most of those moves. The next moves are capacity limits coming off and some of those things,” Walz said.
Minnesota health officials on Tuesday reported 1,088 new COVID-19 cases and 12 new deaths due to complications from the coronavirus, raising the state’s totals to 507,518 known infections and 7,091 deaths since the start of the pandemic.

The new manager was unable to be in the dugout for his first game in charge last Saturday when the Magpies drew 3-3 with Brentford after testing positive for Covid-19.
However, the Daily Mail have reported that if Howe can provide a negative Covid-19 test, he would be allowed to be there in person for the first time since becoming the manager.
After contracting the virus, the Magpies boss has been isolating within a hotel, following the strict government protocols that are now in place.
Howe has still been putting training sessions together and has been watching footage via videos in order to make decisions on his team for the upcoming game.
Newcastle are currently bottom of the Premier League and face Arsenal on Saturday and if he is not in the dugout for that match, then his next chance will be the following Tuesday in a crucial relegation battle against Norwich City. | <urn:uuid:94a32216-79b5-4845-8c88-a67c71ac9eb9> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://maintenance-amp.sportsmole.co.uk/football/arsenal/news/eddie-howe-to-take-charge-of-newcastle-vs-arsenal_471102.html | 2022-01-24T08:03:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304515.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124054039-20220124084039-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.975697 | 185 |
Stop demanding love and attention. Stop creating issues on this as it has not worked. On the contrary, it might have worsened your situation as your husband might have perceived it as nagging. Start behaving as if you are ignoring his attitude and let him be curious on your ignorance. Once he opens up on your attitude then discuss your feelings without blaming him because if you blame him then again he will not be interested in listening to you. It is also important that you should improve your relationship with your in-laws; in turn your husband will be more satisfied with you. | <urn:uuid:c7007f17-9eab-4618-9949-12cf13ffca5c> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://www.malefemale.in/faq/respected-sir-i-need-your-guidance-to-help-me-live-a-peaceful-life-i-am-married-for-almost-two-years-i-have-a-baby-also-ours-was-an-arrange-marriage-i-conceived-only-4-months-after-marriage-i-know-it/ | 2022-01-24T07:23:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304515.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124054039-20220124084039-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.989718 | 114 |

- 246 homes sold wish is up 9.3% from last year at this time
- Days on market is 61 which is down 38.4%
- Sellers are receiving an average of 102.5% to list price
- 394 previously owned homes were listed in February
- Feburary experienced .5 months of inventory
I feel like a broken record- we are experiencing low inventory with a large influx of people moving to the area. With interest rates at an all time low, this is causing home values to sky rocket.

Yesterday I told you about how I got involved in genealogy. One of the things that I think is important if you want to get into family history is that you do a couple of things. At least I believe it helped me.
First of all I joined the Alberta Genealogical Society, in particularly; the Edmonton Branch. It was there that I met people who were interested (other fanatics) in the same thing I was. The society has a library with many volunteers that are ready to help you get started and show you website to go to and book that you should read. The society has a library where there are books on every aspect of genealogy. From beginner books, books on how to do genealogy in Alberta, Canada, U.S.A., England and any number of other countries. There are local history books and people’s completed genealogies. You can spend hours in the library and I literally have.
The other thing I did was take a beginner course in genealogy. Again it was a place to meet people who had the same interest as I did, but also to learn some of the basics that you need to learn early on so that you can research correctly. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read that you need to cite your sources so that you can find the information later and have looked at my early information and I haven’t got a clue where I found that info. Really; I was sure that I’d done that… where did it go. But I guess despite the fact that I learned it there were times that I just plain forgot to do it… Maybe it was the joy of discovery that got me carried away.
I recall the first time I really got the bug. You do know that this is an illness and that there is no cure? I was waiting for my beginner course to start and was sitting at home at my computer and surfing various genealogy sites. You know when you’ve gone here and there and you really don’t know how you got to a site? Well that was where I was. Finally I’d gotten to a site; I now know that it was the National Archives in the UK, but at the time I didn’t understand that. Anyway, I’d gotten to a screen that you could put your ancestors name in and do a search. So I put in my great-grandfather’s name; Jesse Oliver and pressed search. Up came the 1901 census. It wasn’t the actual document only a transcript but it showed my great-grandfather who was 17 and he was a plumber. I was hooked. I was so amazed by the fact that he was on the internet. That this information was from 100 years old .. and that he had been dead for over 50 years, long before the internet was thought of, and here he was.
Over the years there have been many discoveries but it’s your first that you remember. | <urn:uuid:49ee4f53-74f0-4686-b648-15605f4a4406> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://blog.familyhistoryhound.com/2015/04/the-joy-of-discovery/ | 2022-01-24T06:56:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304515.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124054039-20220124084039-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.986379 | 619 |
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a weekly meme that is currently being hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date.
And just like that, it is October. This year is just flying by. I’m still finishing up the last remnants of unpacking from my move. Yeah, I’m a procrastinator. It’s mostly just those last few things that I still need to find a home for. I love my new apartment, and slowly but surely Lottie and I are making it feel like a home.
I didn’t get a whole lot of actual reading done in September. I was unpacking and adjusting to life as a single parent, but I’m getting it all figured out now. I’ve got a bit of a routine going, and finding time to get some reading done. I lacked motivation as I got closer to the move, and it has taken some time to get it back again, but I think I’m back.
I joined several readathons this month to hopefully pull me out of the reading slump. I did join Bookoplathon in September, but I only actually managed to do two of the prompts before losing my motivation completely. Between being tired of unpacking and actually unpacking, I just didn’t get to it like I thought I would. But that’s okay.
But let’s talk books!
What I read last week:
The Woman In Cabin 10 was my first prompt for both Spoopathon and Spooktober. I only finished this yesterday, but still technically counts as last week. It was my first book by Ruth Ware, and I thought it was okay. I found it confusing in parts, and some of the plot choices were not what I wanted, but it was fine. The main character, Lo, I wasn’t a huge fan of which I don’t think helped. It started off very promising, and I quite enjoyed the end, but the portion in between I found to be chaotic and jumbled.
What I am reading now:
I started Bring Me Back yesterday and so far I am hooked. The back and forth between timelines and glimpses into the past and present stories is excellent.
Bizenghast is my first manga, and I chose it to fulfill a new genre prompt. It’s a little creepy and weird, so right up my alley.
The Mutts Autumn Diaries is a book I chose to break up the heaviness and weirdness of Bring Me Back, Bizenghast, and Woman In Cabin 10. Sometimes so much heavy at once gets a bit much and I like something lighter to brighten it all up.
What I’m reading next:
I have had The Guest List on my TBR for a while now, ever since I picked it up at a 2nd hand bookstore. I should get to it later on this week, assuming I can get my current books finished by then.
What are you reading this week? Have you read any these books? | <urn:uuid:d403bfc6-54f1-42c1-92d7-95189ab9a4b1> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://bookishyarn.ca/2021/10/04/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-3/ | 2022-01-24T07:33:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304515.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124054039-20220124084039-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.974793 | 639 |

Business owners remain optimistic about the state of the economy and their own growth prospects, according to the latest monthly survey from the National Federation of Independent Business.
The October reading of 107.4 in the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index continued a two-year trend of business owners feeling upbeat about where the economy is headed and that their business will benefit.
Business owners aren’t just feeling optimistic, they’re responding by spending money to expand, according to the report.
Sixty percent of business owners reported hiring employees or trying to hire.
That number would likely have been higher but 38 percent said they had job openings for which they couldn’t find workers.
Meanwhile, more than half (59 percent) said they spent money on capital items such as machinery, vehicles or real estate.

Coronavirus Situation Changes Daily Shopping through Online Platforms
Translation Source: Alkhaleej
With the ongoing situation of Coronavirus, many aspects of the daily life has changed both at Global and Local levels, from working remotely, distance learning as well as to the increased focus on online shopping. Online shopping platforms have not only changed the way consumers are shopping for their day to day necessities, but helped retail names change their approach towards serving their loyal consumer base.
Popular retail brands such as Union Coop easily adapted to Online shopping platforms as they ensured steady supply while ensuring the strict deployment of anti-COVID procedures, which are not limited to sterilization before packaging and shipment.
Dr. Suhail Al Bastaki, Director of Happiness and Marketing Department, Union Coop revealed that the numbers of purchase orders through its online channel increased by 640%, at a rate of more than 800 orders per day, noting that due to the Corona pandemic, the consumption and purchasing patterns of the community members have changed noticeably.
He added that: – “Union Coop is working to raise its operational capacity with respect to home delivery orders, as the current conditions have caused a huge boom in the home delivery orders, while Union Coop has doubled its work-efforts to keep pace with this boom in an attempt to meet all needs. Union Coop has resorted to several alternatives to enhance its ability to meet this massive demand for home delivery, including contracts with Dubai Taxi.”
He further stressed that: – “At present, Union Coop is working hard to cover the huge demand for delivery service and meet the needs of shoppers, as it has increased the number of employees, trained and qualified them while adhering to all health and safety procedures to ensure delivery of all products in good condition and in accordance to international standards,” explaining that Union Coop has now increased the staff working on the online store to 300 employees, and more than 50 delivery vehicles have been added, with additional delivery contracts being issued to increase the number of vehicles to 100 soon, as well as contracting several delivery companies, increasing the number of workers in delivery service, as well as benefiting from the service of volunteers contributing to the distribution of home delivery orders, especially for Senior citizens and People of Determination.”
He appealed to the public to understand the pressure on Union Coop and the suppliers due to the massive increase in the volume of home delivery orders, which might result in delays in some deliveries. | <urn:uuid:42b44f91-ab47-40cd-ae13-46fd692be153> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://corporate.unioncoop.ae/en/press_releases/coronavirus-situation-changes-daily-shopping-through-online-platforms/ | 2022-01-24T07:32:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304515.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124054039-20220124084039-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.973027 | 509 |

TCU 360 is just a wealth of hip, food truck-related news today.
First, you got your Cowtown Chow Down food park coming in April to 1100 N. Main St. in Fort Worth. Yes, another food truck gathering space -- this time for up to 20 trucks, according to owner Charlie Flores (who also started the beloved Snoball Corral snow cone stand a decade ago). As of yet, 14 spots are already claimed by the likes of The Butcher's Son, The Bacon Wagon, Crazy Sisters and others.
But here's the (literally) cool part: Seeing as how this is Texas and we get summer temps that rival the surface of the sun, Cowtown Chow Down will offer outdoor as well as climate-controlled seating. CCD will serve up another rare commodity with on-site parking.
Another click on the 360 and we discovered news worthy of the big screen. It seems Coyote Theaters are installing a drive-in movie theater near the Chow Down at LaGrave Field and east of North Main Street.
CEO of Coyote Theaters Brady Wood told Chris Varano of TCU Daily Skiff that while audio technicalities are still being worked out, plans include an environmentally friendly landscape servicing both drivers and cyclists, with a wine and beer bar and possibly -- you guessed it -- food trucks!

The wide optical tunability and broad spectral distribution of CuInS2/ZnS (CIS/ZnS) coreshells are key elements for developing the hybrid white light emitting diodes where the nanoparticles are stacked on the blue LEDs. Two CIS/ZnS555 nm and CIS/ZnS665 nm coreshells are utilized for the hybrid white LED development. The time-resolved spectroscopy of CIS/ZnS555 nm and CIS/ZnS665 nm reveals the correlation between the fast, intermediate, and slow decay components and the interface-trapped state and shallow- and deep-trapped states, although the fractional amplitudes of photoluminescence (PL) decay components are widely distributed throughout the entire spectra. The temperature-resolved spectroscopy explains that the PL from deep-trapped donor-acceptor (DA) state has relatively large thermal quenching, due to the relative Coulomb interaction of DA pairs, compared to the thermal quenching of PL from interface defect state and shallow-trapped DA state. A good spectral coupling between the blue diode excitation and the PL from CIS/ZnS leads to the realization of hybrid white LEDs. | <urn:uuid:4ea0fc69-b13b-4b42-bf5a-c01f2b799ceb> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://experts.unthsc.edu/en/publications/fractional-contributions-of-defect-originated-photoluminescence-f | 2022-01-24T06:18:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304515.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124054039-20220124084039-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.875859 | 257 |
The rest of our time in Alice Springs was spent going to all the tourist attractions around town. We visited The Reptile Park where was home to a variety of reptiles. Venomous snakes, pythons, turtles, frogs, lizards, fresh water Crocodile and a salt water crocodile. We spent the morning walking around trying to find all the reptiles camouflaging in their enclosures and reading information on each reptile.
Found throughout central Australia, WA and norther SA. They can grow up to 20cm in length and can live up to 20years. They feed exclusively on black pants and can eat up to 5000 a day. Being covered in thorn prevents them from being eaten by predators as they are too prickly to eat. They can also change their colours to blend in with natural surroundings.
Australian venomous snakes have remarkably smaller fangs to other venomous snakes around the world. This makes snake bites in Australia very avoidable if wearing enclosed shoes with socks while outside in areas snakes live as well as wearing gloves when gardening. If you ever encounter a snake bite in Australia the venom from its fangs wouldn’t be able to get through your shoes or gloves onto your skin and into your blood stream. If you are bitten by a snake in an uncovered area the appropriate first aid is to pressure bandage the area to the closest lymphoid Eg: if you were bitten on the bare foot you would pressure bandage up to the groin area where the lymphoid is. Doing this can save life’s as it will stop the venom travelling fast to your lymphoid and spreading to the rest of the body.
If you were bitten by Australia’s most venomous snake the death adder you would have 20 minutes to get to the hospital for the anti-venom but if you pressure bandage the area it can give you up to 5 hours to reach the hospital. You should also not wipe the bitten area as this is used to identify the type of snake so you can be given the correct anti venom.
After our morning at the reptile centre we walked across the road to the Royal Flying Doctor Services tourist centre. The RFDS was the first air hospital started by John Flynn back in 1928. After working as a doctor in rural outback Australia he could see the everyday struggle for the people and wanted to provide health and emergency services to outback Australia. Before this service, you just didn’t have much of a chance of survival or health services in the outback if in need. Thanks to John Flynn he had a vision and created this service he is now pictured on the Australia $20 note. These days there is now 68 Planes nationwide helping patients every 2 minutes of every day.
Our last full day in Alice springs to make the most of our time up here, we started the day by heading out to the national transport hall of fame which was a lot bigger than we expected. The hall of fame is located just out of Alice Springs and next door to the old Ghan museum. Walking through the front doors we were welcomed with displays of model car, trains, tractors and of course tucks, having a good look at those I notices a stair case with vintage cars and motor bikes, being upstairs it gave us an advantage point looking over some of the other trucks they had on display. After looking around inside we went across the forecourt and walked in side a shed called them Kenworth hall of fame, this was full of trucks from all eras, from brand new to the first truck Kenworth had built and everything in between. After spending an hour or so just looking over these trucks we went back outside and had a wonder around the rest of the 8 acre yard, there was too much to look at.
Next door at the railway museum we could walk on the Old Ghan in its original state.
Our time in The Red Centre had come to an end as we headed back down the Stuart Hwy to Port Augusta. Here we just had a quick stop over, picking up our new solar panels, doing washing and the following morning we got our first car service. In the afternoon, we headed out to the Flinders Rangers. Arriving late in the afternoon we set up camp and enjoyed a night under the stars around the campfire.
We were up early to walk to the top of Mount Ohlssen. It took us 1 ½ hours to get to the top. Once reaching the top we were 923m above sea level and the tough walk up was well worth it as we enjoyed the 360 degree views of the Flinders Ranges.
After returning down we had some lunch, and gave our legs a rest for the afternoon driving around to nearby gorges within the Flinders Rangers. This time of year, all the gorges we went to were dried up and some what disappointing but we did come across some Aboriginal carvings in the rocks in a sacred area.
We loved Alice Springs and The Flinders Ranges are an incredible place to visit offering a vast amount of walking trails and views of ranges as far as you can see.
Follow next week as we head down the York Peninsula and towards Adelaide trying to dodge the inflated prices of Easter and the school holidays. | <urn:uuid:7b3e2ebb-2011-4684-86d4-3f71dd663b39> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://homesweetcaravan.com/2017/04/12/alice/ | 2022-01-24T06:08:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304515.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124054039-20220124084039-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.971577 | 1,135 |

Answer the phone just to hear a robo message from a salesman?
Some of these calls are allowed – such as person campaigning for charity asking or donation or a school alerting students and parents to campus holidays – many are not, and some are complete scams. Unwelcome robocalls are the biggest source of consumer objections to the FTC and the FCC.
Unwelcome calls to phones where the receiving party may have to pay for the call are also illegal.
How to save yourself
If you get an unwelcome phone call of any type, including an unwanted robocall, do not try to outsmart the bad buy by intentionally giving out the negative information. Just hang up. Do not call the number back, or call another number they offer you, or press any numbers that you may interest to press.
Faker persons using robocalling techniques can be constant and will look for ways to remove your blocking techniques. Sometimes calling parties try to cover their identity by using a telephone number that they are not truly entitled to use, such as the number of a government agency or a legal business with whom you may have a connection, or a landline figure that appears so much like yours number that you might believe it is a neighbor or friend calling. In this way they try to get you to respond the phone, and at the same time reject methods that would or else block the calling party’s genuine telephone number. This is known as “spoofing”.
What happens if you answer a robocalls?
Here are some of the techniques that you can use to save yourself:
Hang up as soon as you can
The excellent way to shut the robocall danger down is to hang up quickly before saying anything. If, you realize that the talk sounds unnatural or that the caller is asking unusual and shady questions, hang up as soon as easy. When it comes to robocalls, the less you engage, the excellent. If you keep talking, they will mark your number as active, and you will keep getting more bad calls.
Your credit card info is just your business
Any highly regarded business will be serious about your confidential detail and honor your privacy. Only in rare conditions might they ask to confirm a credit card and that they have on file, and even then, they should use just the last 4 digits. If a caller is asking you to give your information from the starting, be extra alert as the odds are that it is a Report Scam Numbers.
Do not follow the bots instructions
A normal robocall message is to request you to push one to discuss to a live person. They might provide you offer to unsubscribe from such calls if you touch a key, but you should not fall for that. By pushing whatever thing you will mark your number as a excellent one to call, and the fake robo-dialers will come back to trouble you again.

You know, for the sake of relationships I try to keep quite a bit to myself. That’s why I use distractions of teasing, play, and buffoonery to circumvent many topics.
And you know, I thought my wife walked on water. You can’t imagine.
But once in a while things leak out under autistic duress.
“I am not a life support system for a vagina. Either a marriage is mutually beneficial or it is not. I have to be happy too.”
I was like — “Wow, was that my outside voice. That stuff is NEVER supposed to come out of the cage….” lol
Or “Do you always tell your friends that you despise your husband?”
Or “Did you know a marriage is over once your face shows a disgust response, and it’s only a matter of time?”
These events were rare. I think my wife and I had two fights during our marriage, and even our agreement to divorce was civil. And even then she said one of them wouldn’t have happened but she misunderstood me. And again, I still think all things considered she walks on water.
People sometimes think I’m unkind but I think I’m extremely patient and considerate given what generally goes through my mind while their speaking.
It’s the truth that’s unkind. | <urn:uuid:c1aed500-68fa-4901-90a0-96e42de2d787> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://propertarianinstitute.com/its-the-truth-thats-unkind/ | 2022-01-24T06:28:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304515.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124054039-20220124084039-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.979748 | 296 |

As a partner to LEVC, a wholly-owned Geely subsidiary, Semcon’s role has been to create, translate and digitally distribute all product information for the new TX eCity. Easily accessible information describing its features for the driver, and efficient servicing of the vehicle for service technicians, are key success factors maximising utilisation and enhancing the user experience with the TX. Semcon has reused aftermarket information in this project to support several target groups in a unique way.
The technical documentation customised for the TX electric taxi has far surpassed our dealer’s expectations. Semcon has given us a very rounded and comprehensive solution for our new and future vehicle lines
Product information solution
The project has involved a core team of more than 50 product information experts from the UK, China, Sweden and Hungary. Semcon’s responsibilities throughout the project have included:
- defining information guidelines,
- creating all service and repair information for mechanical elements, body and trim, including labour times for warranty repairs,
- developing an Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) with VIN number content filtering and search functions; a shopping cart and outputs suitable for third-party parts ordering systems and dealer management systems; and zoomable hot-spot graphics to aid identification of the correct parts,
- creating a service portal to provide dealers with easy access to all product information,
- providing driver information on-board and via an app where content is collected continuously from a cloud-based distribution solution,
- developing embedded eLearning courses, end user training packages that provide information on how to utilise key features of the vehicle, and incorporating these into the operator’s app,
- working on Service Bill Of Materials (SBOM) development to support the logistics supplier,
- compiling service bulletins and automated bulletin notifications,
- designing a service record module to capture the vehicle’s age and distance since the last service. This then produces a check sheet specifically for the input parameters. The module also provides the dealer network and customers with the service history of the vehicle,
- creating an administration module so that the customer can maintain dealer and user credentials for the portal, and enabling skill levelling; that is, restricting access to data if the technician does not have the right qualifications to work on certain systems, such as the high voltage system.
It has been a pleasure to collaborate with LEVC. Not only because of the iconic brand that it is, but because it has been a true partnership from beginning to end, where we have been able to deliver a comprehensive and contemporary experience
One key success factor for the project involved Semcon’s use of its proprietary Content Management System (CMS) for content creation purposes. With this, the team was able to get started with more or less no lead time for system setup and training. The integrated labour times module made it possible to develop service instructions and labour times simultaneously, using CAD data provided by LEVC. The close collaboration between the technical writers and the skilled graphics and animations team meant that it was possible to incorporate large numbers of illustrations in the product information alongside the text elements. An automatic translation management interface in the CMS meant that Semcon was also able to handle all translations and has initially provided all product information in English, as well as Dutch and simplified Chinese. Additional languages, including bi-directional languages, are planned as the new TX is launched around the globe.
Three digital interfaces
Semcon’s digital distribution platform, Lodges, is being used to distribute the various information types. Lodges is used to export aftermarket information from the CMS for LEVC and deliver it to three different digital interfaces.
The first digital interface is the web-based service portal used by LEVC dealers. This portal includes service repair information, system design and functions, the Electronic Parts Catalogue, the service record module and the learning module.
The second digital interface is a customised mobile app that includes the LEVC driver’s handbook, containing everything the driver needs to know about how to operate the vehicle. The mobile app also includes a learning module that provides a structured guide to main vehicle functionality and controls. Notifications are sent to the app when an update is available. Download app: App Store, Google Play.
Thirdly, Lodges also distributes information to the on-board driver’s catalogue, which can be accessed via the TX’s built-in infotainment system. The on-board app uses the same data as the mobile app, allowing a single source to be maintained within the CMS but with multiple outputs. The same source is also used to produce the printed manual and an online PDF if so required. | <urn:uuid:4da1d7cc-9d2d-4931-b148-3fc2bde1712d> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://semcon.com/uk/product-information/product-information-for-new-electric-taxi/ | 2022-01-24T06:14:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304515.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124054039-20220124084039-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.915311 | 958 |

Announced at the end of 2021, the study will focus on the use of an engine powered by a hydrogen fuel cell system on two railroad tracks: the Maura and Mount Isa. At 180 km, the Anglo-American Dawson Metallurgical Coal Mine connects to Gladstone Port. Covering an area of 977 km, it provides a link between the Second Northern Australia Mining Area and the Townsville Harbor. Both are now served by diesel engines.
“Hydrogen could play a major role in Australia to decorbonize the transportation sector for mining, agriculture or industrial goods”. Andrew Harding, CEO of Aurizon, says it aims to reach zero carbon for its distribution chains by 2050.Rail freight currently produces 16 times less carbon dioxide per tonne-kilometer than road traffic. By using zero-emission hydrogen trains, we will further reduce the impact of freight traffic on the environment.“
If the feasibility study of the two companies proves to be conclusive, the partnership should be extended to develop the first prototype of the hydrogen engine.

Worker Deaths by Falls
DHHS (NIOSH) Publication Number 2000-116
Many American workers, regardless of industry or occupation, are exposed to fall hazards daily during performance of their job tasks. This monograph describes the magnitude of the problem of occupational falls in the U.S., identifies potential risk factors for fatal injury, and provides recommendations for developing effective safety programs to reduce the risk of fatal falls.
This monograph summarizes surveillance data and investigative reports of fatal work-related falls from elevations. The surveillance data were derived from the National Traumatic Occupational Fatalities (NTOF) surveillance system maintained by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). The NTOF data are based on death certificates for workers aged 16 years or older who died from traumatic injuries in the workplace. The fatality investigations were conducted as part of the NIOSH Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) program, a research program for the identification and investigation of fatal occupational injuries. The goal of the FACE program is to collect information on factors that may have contributed to occupational fatalities, using an epidemiologic approach, and to develop and disseminate recommendations for prevention of similar incidents in the future.

The Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, says he plans to help Nigerians see that the APC Presidential Candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, is different from what the PDP has been portraying him to be for the past 16 years.
Speaking on Channels Television, in his capacity as the Director-General of General Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organisation, Amaechi said that the GMB Campaign would have a different outlook.
He noted that work had already started in this regard, as they have shown the public that APC Presidential candidate is a family man, contrary to the image of him “as if he doesn’t smile and the man makes the best jokes anybody can hear”.
“We are trying to sell to you a man who, though 70, is more fit than others and most other people who are competing with him.
“You saw him on the day we matched against the impunity of the President and he joined us to match from the Eagles Square to Hilton, back to the Police Headquarters, stood out there till we closed 6pm.”
Governor Amaechi also addressed the allegations against him that he has been funding the presidential campaign of his party with vigour despite owing salaries of workers in his state.
“Now I have an appointment as the DG of Buhari campaign, I will not make a careless statement that I have no facts on,” condemning statements credited to a Presidential Spokesman alleging that he was funding the campaign.
Funding GMB Campaign
Having criticized the manner in which money was raised for the campaign of the PDP’s President Goodluck Jonathan, Amaechi was asked to explain how he intends to raise money for the Buhari Campaign.
Claiming that the APC was at a disadvantage financially, “If you call a fund raising today you will see how many people that will come, are you sure we will be able to get up to 1billion?
“If you look at the Buhari Campaign Organisation, we have put a process in place where Nigerians will donate 1naira, 2naira, 10,000, 15,000…
“If you think you will match this President with money, then you will not win the election. We will depend on the people.”
With words out that Governors would be funding the campaign, Amaechi said, “Unfortunately the Governors in APC are not the rich governors.”
He explained that he could not afford to fund the election campaign with the financial challenges that the Rivers State Government has had to face.
“My wage bill is 9.2billion. Don’t forget I employed 13,200 teachers, don’t forget I employed 400 doctors,” he said.
Rivers State Cannot Fund Buhari Campaign
Governor Amaechi, during the conversation, also provided details of Rivers State’s revenue and expenditure, as well as the challenges being faced with dwindling monthly allocation from the Federal Government.
He insisted that the Federal Government should take responsibility for the poor situation in the states, “Its the stealing at the federal level that has denied us funds,” he said.
He, however, explained that Rivers State has been able to forge ahead due to his dynamism in raising the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of the state, which previous administrations fed on.
“Before I became Governor, the IGR was 2.5billion. We’ve been able to raise the IGR from 2.5billion to 8billion. No new taxes, just stopping corruption. I made sure nobody shared the money.
“Before, what they do is to give the State Government 2.5billion, other interests they share the rest. So, I said put all the money on the till. When they brought the money back, we saw that we were getting more money.
“I’m proud to say that that income is able to rise to 8.5billion because we were able to block the loop holes of corruption.
He added that from the Federal Allocation which used to be about 20 to 25billion Naira, the state had since been receiving about 12 to 14billion Naira only. | <urn:uuid:52a05b18-ea26-4b86-a09b-7db9b36df88a> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.channelstv.com/tag/gmb-campaign/ | 2022-01-24T07:37:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304515.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124054039-20220124084039-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.980509 | 899 |
Supporting a more stable industry
We recently attended the Energy Live Consultancy Conference (ELCC) and met with a range of industry figures to talk all things energy, supply and the industry over the past 12-months.
As well as giving us a fantastic opportunity to speak to our TPI’s, we were also able to discuss the recent developments in the industry; including the spate of suppliers that have exited the market, and the reasons for this.
In 2018, eight energy suppliers bowed out of the market, and in 2019 so far, we have lost at least three. Not only this, but last year also saw the UK’s third biggest TPI, Utilitywise, collapse. It’s been a daunting and volatile time in the industry, with many factors posing challenges for suppliers and TPIs alike.
New regulations imposed by industry organisations have had an impact on suppliers’ businesses. For instance, the recent price cap has led to a low appetite for investment in the market, and has squeezed the margins of many smaller suppliers, making balancing their portfolios more difficult.
On the reverse, however, with no imposed pricing floor (or minimum price), there is absolutely nothing stopping suppliers from offering unsustainably low prices to attract more customers. This has been the downfall of many suppliers in recent years, and although these prices do look more attractive to energy users, if this squeezes margins to a dramatic point, this is simply not enough to keep them afloat.
Another cause of concern in the industry is the fact that there are no restrictions in the marketplace in terms of who can and who can’t become a supplier and supplier licences are very easy to obtain. As a business that champions competition, we absolutely do not want to prevent new suppliers from entering the market, but there needs to be certain standards and requirements that new businesses must meet.
We’ve also seen a number of suppliers exit the market due to the fact they simply don’t have enough knowledge on how the industry works and what it takes to be a stable and successful supplier. This is something that needs re-evaluating, whether it’s imposing benchmarks that new suppliers must aim for, or providing better support and guidance. By encouraging development and progression, we can create a better industry for all involved.
It is very clear that more needs to be done in terms of educating and supporting those who operate within the industry in order to prevent any more suppliers from ceasing trading. Competition is a positive thing; it ensures that standards remain high and energy users have access to the right supplier and supply for them. Therefore, as an industry, we need to make sure we do everything to help new suppliers to thrive and flourish. | <urn:uuid:72303cee-19a8-4086-8484-06f2b66477a5> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.cngltd.co.uk/insight/supporting-a-more-stable-industry/ | 2022-01-24T05:50:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304515.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124054039-20220124084039-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.963642 | 555 |
