MARSHALL (KMHL) – After not having a quorum last week – Lyon County Commissioners will address a proposed agreement to continue curbside recycling pickup in Lyon County at a special meeting tomorrow morning.
Commissioners had placed the agreement with Southwest Sanitation on the agenda for their meeting last week – but with one commissioner away and two abstaining from the vote (family connections) – there wasn’t a quorum to vote on it.
Commissioners will vote on a contract with Southwest Sanitation to continue the county’s curbside recycling program on an every-other-week schedule, beginning Nov. 1st. The agreement would last through April of 2021.
The special meeting will be held tomorrow at 9 a.m. | <urn:uuid:57bf9171-dbe2-45fe-98cb-ebceb6f3790e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://marshallradio.net/commissioners-to-vote-on-lyon-county-recycling-contract-tuesday/ | 2022-01-24T16:40:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304572.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124155118-20220124185118-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.947597 | 155 |
I wish so much that I knew about how powerful my body was when I had my two sons. Instead, like most women I had heard horror stories regarding giving birth and so like most women I had a degree of fear and anxiety around the birthing experience. I did not trust my body to be able to do what it was designed to do. It was only after postnatal surgery and a severe flare of endometriosis that I found myself on an unexpected quest into reclaiming the wisdom inherent in female bodies. You can read about my journey in my book ‘Reclaiming Feminine Wisdom’.
When I began making discoveries about myself through tracking my cycles’ cyclical rhythms and incorporating feminine healing therapies I became angry about the loss of true feminine wisdom. Far from what my culture had subconsciously taught me about being a woman. This most definitely applies to becoming a mother and the rite of passage that occurs when giving birth. I medicated my birth at 4 cm with my first child because having been someone who had experienced menstrual pain through life I couldn’t get my ‘head’ around the fact that I might just cope with it. And there is the problem, in labour it’s about surrendering to the wisdom of your body and asking your mind to kindly step aside and allow the experience to unfold. With my second something very interesting happened, I decided to try using visualisation and body scan’s to ensure I wasn’t holding tension and I focused on slow and deep breathing. I had done mindfulness and meditation in the past and so was using some of what I had experienced in those classes. I was actually, at the time, unknowingly using some hypnobirthing techniques. I couldn’t believe it when they checked me that I was 8cm and heading into transition. I didn’t even know what ‘transition’ meant back then. I went straight into fight/flight adrenaline and fear mode. This was because I had planned an epidural for my second birth as I was anxious that I wouldn’t be able to do the pushing stage. There was a huge hormonal reaction going on for me at that time and I had no confidence in the ability of my body to go the whole way. This makes me wince, having trained as a hypnobirthing teacher now and with the deeper understanding of feminine wisdom I can see how little I trusted, knew and understood. There is no point regretting but with the knowledge and understanding I now have, which is so much more than back then, I would have kept going for a natural birth. Instead I medicated at 8 cm when I was so close and had been doing so well! The techniques I was using had truly worked. I had no reason to medicate at this late stage apart from my own fear that was making the decisions.
I want to make it really clear that I do not judge any women on the choices they make in labour or whilst giving birth. We all need to feel empowered in the choices we make, whatever they are. I love the results and empowerment that hypnobirthing offers for women no matter what happens. Knowledge is truly power. I should add that I was told by a midwife that I was not in ‘active labour’ and I would need to be 3-4 mins apart with contractions for a couple of hours. Luckily it was with my second child so I knew, and intuitively I knew that I was. So I asked for a check, (which I had to argue with the midwife for as she didn’t believe I was), I was surprised at how far along I was but not that I was in ‘active labour’.
I pushed to get the check then as I had planned a medical birth again so wanted to know when I could have the epidural. I wouldn’t ask for a check if I gave birth again (if you’ve read my book you will know why I had a hysterectomy). But putting yourself back in the driving seat of your inner knowing about your body is imperative. Do not give your power over to anyone but yourself.

Jhong Hilario stoked as daughter starts mumbling sounds
Jhong Hilario got himself a talkative baby.
The actor and Makati councilor shared a video of his adorable newborn already starting to hear herself and making sounds through her mouth, something which he is absolutely delighted to hear.
The politiko is savoring the moment and is trying to start a conversation with the two-month-old, resorting to captions to make their “exchange” more interesting.
“Magkakablood clot ako kay @sarinahilario kasi sumasagot eh!,” Hilario said. | <urn:uuid:d69c916f-dfe4-491a-8d76-58ac3a255ddc> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://metromanila.politics.com.ph/2021/06/04/jhong-hilario-stoked-as-daughter-starts-mumbling-sounds/ | 2022-01-24T16:50:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304572.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124155118-20220124185118-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.94824 | 137 |

I have just purchased my 4th compression sleeve. After 4 knee surgeries I needed something I could wear most of the day to keep my legs supported. They wear well and are very comfortable but tend to run on the small side.I am 5'7 and weigh 140 lbs and am using a XXL
I was looking for plain compression sleeve that had a smooth knit after my varicose vein surgery. I'm 5'8" and have a problem with my Zensah sleeves running slightly short, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw these ran slightly long. I actually have to play with them a little bit to get them to line up just right, but they're worth it if it means I don't have impressions all over my lower legs after taking them off. The compression level is as stated. | <urn:uuid:fd94873b-8267-4570-88d7-cfea67a97a03> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://mojosocks.com/mojo-compression-socks-compression-calf-sleeves-firm-support-20-30mmhg-black/ | 2022-01-24T16:07:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304572.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124155118-20220124185118-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.938658 | 484 |

I have just spent over an hour with on line chat trying to organise making an extra monthly payment on my gas bills. Thought it was all sorted but made a phone call just to check. All the information I had received was completely wrong and my direct debit was absolutely stuffed up, to the point where they were not going to be taking out the correct amount and I would have been charged for under paying my bill. I then spent another hour trying to get it all sorted out and can only pray that the problem has been fixed. This is not acceptable, two hours of my time is worth something. Are these off-shore call centres trainig their people properly? I am disgusted with this. These companies are quick to penalise you if you make a mistake with your payment or innocently forget. But there is no comeback for their customers if they hand out wrong informatin that could cost them money. And where do you go to talk to a real person to air your grievences? To an of-shore call centre, who really do give a **bleep**!
I worked in customer service for many years and would not have kept my job if I had dealt with customers this way!!
I'm a great believer in the written word and I find this forum an excelent way to get things done, so I think your on the right track, here!! I'm sure in due course a moderator will get in touch with you, ask them to private message them so they know some private info like account number etc. and the proceed to help you out.
If you know what payment you want ot make it's not difficult to pay an an amount directly off your account, whether it be gas or electric, but hard to give you expert advice as I am not privy to your private information, nor do I naturally want to know any of your private information, that's were the trained moderators her come in.
Real sorry to hear that you have had such a poor experience with us with setting up a payment plan and the time that it took you. I would be happy to have a look into your account if you would like and you can provide me anymore feedback that you might have for us.
If you could please send me a private message with your account details, I will assist you directly. The link to private message me is here.
Look forward to hearing from you soon. | <urn:uuid:4089275f-7127-4dd4-858f-6faadcd5ecc6> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://neighbourhood.agl.com.au/t5/Energy-Accounts-and-Billing/customer-service/td-p/1902 | 2022-01-24T16:05:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304572.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124155118-20220124185118-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.983356 | 501 |

Planted on 5/21:
Straight Eights did wonderful, until succumbing (I believe) to bacterial wilt. Flavor was good, although I thought a tad bitter.
Pioneer Hybrids failed to sprout.
Cucumbers have about a 60 day maturity window.
Assuming a Last Frost Date of 5/14. Since my Straight 8s came up from 5/21, they're probably safe to plant that early.
Assuming a First Frost Date of 9/24, last planting should be in on 7/24. The OSV interpreter did mention they typically harvest cukes after the first frost, so that may be an interesting experiment. The old New Englanders tended to prefer size over taste, particularly since items like cucumbers would just get pickled.
So let's aim in 2009 for a series of plantings, starting with the Straight 8s and maybe trying some bush and/or pickling varieties towards the end. Marketmore 76 recommended as a variety that is disease resistant, plant after frost danger is past.
ALSO, let's try companion plantings of marigolds & radishes with them to see if it repels the cucumber beetles from the young plants!
If I'm not successful otherwise controlling the wilt (see post below), I'm thinking that will help control bacterial wilt issues indirectly. As some cukes die, others will be coming into production. | <urn:uuid:184fce84-79a4-412c-83ad-8ce4022a78bc> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://ohjustducky.d90.us/2008/08/cucumber-notes.html | 2022-01-24T17:16:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304572.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124155118-20220124185118-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.943247 | 316 |
It’s not surprising that we were given so many bibs at my baby shower. Mealtime is definitely one of the most messy parts of William’s day. As he’s learning about food tastes and textures and getting more involved in the process, his food tends to go all over the place. Here he is trying to feed himself directly with the spoon.
Although he only has one hand on his face here, he reminded me a bit of the famous painting “The Scream” with this one.
When he eats food gets on his hands, face, bib and especially on the table surface of his high chair.
It doesn’t even bother him that he wears so much of the food on his face and hands.
One evening he was more interested in slapping the table then eating. Without even discussing him, Matt and I joined him for a round of slap table.
William was very enthusiastic about this new game.
Still, even playing it with him didn’t encourage him to eat more. When he’s done with his meal, he’s done. | <urn:uuid:680c1dd1-d786-49d7-8a47-5601c283831e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://over40firsttimemom.com/2018/06/15/messy-mealtimes/ | 2022-01-24T16:53:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304572.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124155118-20220124185118-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.990869 | 235 |

“Enough is enough. No more words without deeds. It’s time for action.”
These words were issued nearly eight years ago as part of a statement by a World Council of Churches gathering, and affirmed recently by a meeting of senior Palestinian Christians and their supporters in the Kairos Palestine 5th Anniversary statement, which noted that things have become worse, not better, for Palestinians since then. These words stirred us into action when we met earlier this year as the Palestine Israel Ecumenical Network (PIEN) to consider our future priorities.
As we prayerfully considered our options, it became clear that we needed to take a decisive step. We have heard the cry of Palestinian Christians asking the international community to join boycott and divestment campaigns. We have seen Churches internationally respond to the request. We have seen many Jewish people support these nonviolent economic strategies. We believe, with deep conviction, that the products made in the illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank represent a serious and blatant disregard for Palestinian human rights, and must be opposed.
We have therefore decided that PIEN will join others in responding with more than words, and this year we will focus our efforts on campaigning for businesses in Australia to stop selling settlement goods, beginning with dates.
We ask you to join us in our call to action, as people of faith, in moving from words to action.
Why we shouldn’t buy goods made in illegal Israeli settlements
Israeli settlements are exclusively Jewish communities that have been established in Occupied Palestine. Their existence and ongoing expansion confiscate large areas and are widely accepted by the international community as being against international law. Additionally their presence leads to a wide array of problems for Palestinians: road-closures; loss of farming livelihoods; checkpoints; exposure to settler violence; military control by Israel of daily life, and many more. To buy goods from these settlements is therefore not only undermining international law but implies support for the Israeli military occupation of Palestine. The devastating effects of these settlements on daily Palestinian life cannot be overstated. Read more.
Worldwide Christian and Jewish responses to goods from Israeli settlements
In recent years many churches and Jewish groups around the world have been campaigning against goods made in settlements, and against companies profiting from the occupation. We have documented some of these campaigns. Read more.

Roller element bearings present in the intermediate and high-speed stages of wind turbine gearboxes operate in dynamic working conditions and in some cases may fail within 30% or less of their designed lifetime. Upon investigation, it has been identified that these premature failures happen due to a peculiar failure mode associated with formation of white etching cracks (WEC). This continues to be a great challenge for the wind energy operators as it leads to an increase of maintenance and operation costs in addition to long wind turbine downtime. Therefore, the industry is in dire need of a lifetime prediction methodology that could take in multi-scale inputs ranging from bearing loads at the system level down to the level of bearing material properties at the microscopic level. This work summarizes the overall approach of a project that aims towards an integrated framework which links load data from the bearings and microstructure related non-metallic inclusion statistics from bearing steels, to predict a material based probability of failure. The interlink between both aspects is a numerical rolling contact fatigue (RCF) framework based on finite element analysis, which includes multi-scale data as an input to calculate rolling contact fatigue damage. The outcome will help the wind industry to better predict bearing failures. | <urn:uuid:3d78f4e2-06b7-4e9b-a370-49870f045610> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://research.tudelft.nl/en/publications/an-interdisciplinary-framework-to-predict-premature-roller-elemen | 2022-01-24T16:32:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304572.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124155118-20220124185118-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.93055 | 243 |

BIG BRUMMIE CAMPOUT:
A message from SIFA Fireside (Homeless charity)
'The Big Brummie Campout is happening in under two weeks and we are very excited for everyone to get involved.
On Friday the 8th May we are asking friends and families to set up camp in their back gardens, build make-shift dens on balcony's or cushion castles in their front rooms to raise money for SIFA Fireside.
To sign up as a ‘camper’ we are asking supporters to donate a minimum £5 to the appeal, in return for access to an exclusive Activity pack filled with fun activities including stargazing and leaf printing. The pack will have everything needed for an evening under the stars, including family-friendly recipes and craft activities. The evening will also help bring people together, with a hosted live stream, music performances, and the chance to share camping experiences on social media.
The campaign is being launched as part of our emergency #SIFASurvives appeal, launched in response to a reduction in support due to the Coronavirus epidemic. We're looking to raise £50,000 over the coming months so that we can continue providing homeless and vulnerable adults access to key services such as showers and health clinics, whilst also helping them to work towards a brighter future.
Thank you so much for your support to SIFA Fireside and the work that we do.'

NYT biz columnist Nocera takes aim at former NYT boss Raines
New York Times business columnist Joe Nocera thinks that the criticism former New York Times executive editor Howell Raines levied in his latest column in Conde Nast Portfolio at business journalists for letting the oil companies off easy is malarkey.
Nocera writes, “It’s about how all of us in business journalism are being sandbagged by those awful people running Exxon Mobil and the other major oil companies, who are busy gouging us while tossing the press their ‘malarkey’ about supply and demand being behind the rise in oil prices. Raines, apparently, is among the legions who believe it’s all a big plot by Big Oil, which could bring down the price with a snap of its powerful finger.
“Well, yes, malarkey is the right word — but it’s a word that more appropriately describes Raines’s column. He seems to believe that the big problem in the United States is that the oil companies are not exploring enough ‘on the vast, unused acreage in existing oil leases.’ Apparently he hasn’t been to Fort Worth recently, where companies are drilling for natural gas in people’s backyards — literally. He sloughs off the tens of billions Big Oil spends each year exploring for oil — and doesn’t even seem to realize that the $25 billion Exxon Mobil paid last year ‘to foreign governments’ is money that makes such exploration possible. He flicks aside the notion that the oil companies want to build more refineries — ignoring the fact that the lack of new refinery capacity is a huge bottleneck that helps push up prices. He mocks ‘network TV anchors and correspondents’ for portraying big oil companies as ‘powerless victims’ to supply and demand. Never mind that Exxon Mobil, for instance, controls less than 2 percent of the world’s oil supply. Most of the world’s oil is controlled by countries, not companies — and they tend to be pretty unabashed about wanting higher prices.”

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian showed “interest” in a proposed $5.5 million grant for a shooting association clubhouse and conference facility in former partner Daryl Maguire’s electorate, documents show.
But the premier insists she’s done nothing wrong.
Documents obtained by NSW Greens MP David Shoebridge show the Australian Clay Target Association sought grant funding for the clubhouse and conference facility in Wagga Wagga.
Its initial business case was knocked back but a revised version was in 2017 reconsidered, according to the documents, after Ms Berejiklian made inquiries on the matter.
It was subsequently approved.
Mr Maguire had initially in 2016 written to Ms Berejiklian about the project – at a time when the pair were in a secret relationship.
Ms Berejiklian was NSW treasurer at the time.
She thanked him for “bringing (the) request to the government’s attention” and referred him to the then-minister for sport, Stuart Ayres.
The project in 2017 failed a cost-benefit analysis, recording a score of 0.88 – lower than the minimum score of above 1.00.
It was reassessed later in 2017 after a new business case was put forward by consultants engaged by the Department of Industry, with more details on anticipated interstate and international visitors.
The documents suggest Ms Berejiklian – now premier – made a “request” to the department’s Investment Appraisal Unit to carry out that business case reassessment.
That second business case received a score of 1.10 over the 25-year assessment period, and was approved.
Another document – an email written by then-Regional NSW deputy secretary Gary Barnes – notes Ms Berejiklian’s “interest” in the project.
“If you want proof this $5.5 million grant was about politics not merit, then you can always check out the initial business case assessment. It showed the project was a no-go,” Mr Shoebridge said.
Ms Berejiklian denied all wrongdoing, saying processes were followed.
“The proposition you are putting is absolutely ridiculous and all proper processes were followed,” Ms Berejiklian told reporters on Monday.
Ms Berejiklian revealed to an Independent Commission Against Corruption hearing in October 2020 that she had been in a secret “close personal relationship” with Mr Maguire for five years.
Mr Maguire is accused of abusing his public office while serving as a NSW MP.
He has admitted being involved in a cash-for-visa scheme and that he was seeking secret commissions linked to questionable land deals. | <urn:uuid:994767e9-00dd-4a2d-8d73-00351e178d49> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://thenewdaily.com.au/news/2021/08/09/gladys-berejiklian-interest-wagga-project/ | 2022-01-24T16:47:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304572.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124155118-20220124185118-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.967116 | 572 |
Tools for Quick Fixes at Practice or Competition
There are tools and parts every fencer should carry with them to practice or competitions. The most common are listed below although you may find yourself adding to your collection over time. I suggest a small bag or tool box to keep in your fencing bag. A couple of things to remember are:
- Both an inside and outside key may not be necessary if your weapons all use the same type of pommel nut.The same tool can be used on both a foils and epees.
- Use either French or German parts and standardize your weapons to one or the other.
- Test Boxes are compatible with both foils and epee.
- A test weight for epee is heavier than one for foil. However, often the added weight for epee can be attached to a foil weight so you will not need to purchase two.
- You can often get a “kit” of tools from most equipment vendors. AbsoluteFencingGear.com and TheFencingPost.com sell them, for example.
Precision Flat Head Screwdriver, Inside Allen Key (6mm), Outside Hex Key (6mm), Test Box, Epee Test Weight, Test Shims
Epee Tip Screws, Epee Pressure (Large) Springs, Epee Contact (Small) Springs, Super Glue
Precision Flat Head Screwdriver, Inside Allen Key (6mm), Outside Hex Key (6mm), Test Box, Foil Test Weight
Armory Tools for Repair and Rewiring of Weapons
These are tools you wouldn’t need to to carry with you all the time but should have when rewiring your blades.
- Wires, Barrels, Tips, Screws and Springs for your weapons
- Crescent Wrench
- 5mm wrench for Foil Barrel
- 6mm wrench for Epee Barrel
- 8mm wrench for tightening foil socket nuts.
- Needle Noose Pliers
- Vice Grips
- Phillips Screwdriver
- Hack Saw or Bolt Cutters
- Utility Knife
- Wire Stripper
- Choice of Glue
- “Spaghetti” Tubing for foil and epee wires.

Peter Capaldi, a former art student, and the latest actor to play Doctor Who, settles down on Freud's couch to deliver his wry take on the Surrealist movement. 'Unlock Art' is Tate's new short. “Surrealism grew principally out of the earlier Dada movement…which produced works of anti-art that deliberately defied reason” (Cherry par. 2). In her book, Bradley states that “Dada predated Surrealism, and Surrealism survived Dada, but for a while, the two movements co-existed in a continuum of shared energy and excitement” (12).

In his book Surrealism and Cinema, Michael Richardson argues that surrealist works cannot be defined by style or form, but rather as results of the practice of surrealism.
Richardson writes: "Within popular conceptions, surrealism is misunderstood in many different ways, some of which contradict others, but all of these misunderstandings are founded in the fact that they seek to reduce surrealism. The conjunction 'surrealism and cinema' is a seductive one.
It evokes an undefined relation, a meeting point between the opposites of light and dark, presence and absence, actuality and imagination which suggests the actualisation of the supreme point which André Breton identified as the aim of surrealism.

Disdaining rationalism and literary realism, and powerfully influenced by psychoanalysis, the Surrealists believed the rational mind repressed the power of the imagination, weighing it down with taboos.

A bolt from the blue.
If you went in to Out of the Blue not knowing anything about it, you could be forgiven for thinking it was a completely different film to what it is. Based on the first twenty minutes, the film seems like a quaint comedy-drama about the people living in a New Zealand town. It's only once local 'eccentric' David Gray (Matthew Sunderland) starts sighting people up with an automatic rifle, then murders a family in cold blood, that the film reveals itself for what it is.
Based on the real-life Aramoana Massacre, which took place on November 13th and 14th 1990, and saw Gray kill 13 people, wound three others and commit the deadliest shooting in New Zealand history, Out of the Blue is a tense and chilling docudrama that recreates the horror of violence breaking out in the sort of place no-one expects these things to happen, but in which they often do. The progression of the film from its bucolic opening, in which director Robert Sarkies lovingly details the charming routines of Aramoana's residents, to the chaos of Gray's killing spree which, with its burning buildings and oppressive darkness, resembles nothing short of Hell on Earth, is perfect. It captures a genuine sense that this group of ordinary people are experiencing something so terrible as to be beyond their comprehension.
What raises Sarkies' film from being merely a top-notch thriller - though that's no mean feat in itself - is his grasp of character. Rather than delivering on the immediacy suggested by the title, Sarkies spends the first twenty minutes of the film introducing us to the townfolk whose peace is about to be so explosively shattered. Amongst them are the local policemen, played by Karl Urban and William Kircher, a couple who decide to move in with each other (Simon Ferry and Tandi Wight), and an old woman whose son has come to visit (Lois Lawn). Showing the gentle humour and wit of the people, as well as what will soon be lost, raises the stakes much higher than if the film had leapt right to the shooting. It also helps that Sarkies has gathered together a large, talented cast who all inhabit their roles completely, particularly Karl Urban, who is hugely convincing as a man trying to keep it together when confronted with something he could never have prepared for, and Matthew Sunderland is terrifying as the inscrutable murderer.
Lois Lawn steals the film, though, as Helen Dickson, an old woman who tries to save a man after he is wounded by Gray at the start of his spree. Despite having recently had hip surgery, Helen crawls to her house to phone the police, dryly saying that she might be a while, then crawls back to comfort the injured man, before finally holing up in her house. Lawn plays Helen with grace, wit and charm, and I found myself becoming incredibly protective of her as the body count started to mount.
Like United 93 and Elephant, Out of the Blue is more concerned with depiction than explanation. Outside of a few scenes in which we see Gray shouting at a clerk in a bank and sitting in his house, remembering a visit from the police concerning a peeping tom incident, we never get a sense of why he does what he does, only how, which makes the film ultimately more chilling. The matter of fact nature of Sarkies' unfussy direction and the lack of emotion on the part of Sunderland does much more to show us the unexpected nature of mass shootings than any number of trite speeches or psychological profiles.
This approach also makes the film unbearably tense. Shorn of typical thriller gloss, sequences in which Gray stalks the town, firing indiscriminately at innocent bystanders or playing a cat-and-mouse game with the police under cover of night are lent a reality that is shocking. Not only is it shocking, but the film itself feels like it is in shock: There's a deadened atmosphere to the whole film that suggests the feeling of having experienced something without being able to process it. Sarkies really makes you feel every impact and share the fear of the people as they run for their lives, or try to stay as still as possible until the danger passes. An old woman hiding under a blanket has never been so fraught with tension. | <urn:uuid:ff5b6f1c-2d84-425a-bc66-f9894f9677c6> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.amightyfineblog.com/2010/03/out-of-blue.html | 2022-01-24T16:45:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304572.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124155118-20220124185118-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.972824 | 883 |

Design a BETTER INJECTION MOLDED PART
Think it’s tough to put together a decent jacket-shirt-tie combo in the morning? Try mastering the complexities of designing an injection molded appearance part for production runs in the hundreds of thousands. It’s as difficult as it sounds. “Small details in part design can prove to have a huge influence over the lifetime of the production phase, and can make the difference between a part that runs trouble-free and a ‘problem child’ that needs constant adjustment and repair,” said Kip Doyle, president of moldingHELP.com.
The good news is that adhering to some basic part design rules will result in an appearance part that looks good, is easier to manufacture and assemble, and is typically much stronger in service. Here’s a brief look at some of the key factors to keep in mind.
In injection molding as in life, stress kills. Stress is, in fact, the main enemy of any injection molded plastic part. Here’s why. When melted resin is forced into the mold, the molecules are pushed through each feature, bending, turning, and distorting to form the shape of the part. Turning hard or sharp corners exerts more stress on the molecule than taking gentle turns with generous radii. Abrupt transitions from one feature to another are also difficult for the molecules to fill and form to. And as the material cools and the molecular bonds re-link the resin into its rigid form, these stresses are locked into the part, and can cause warpage, sink marks, cracking, premature failure, and other problems.
“While some stresses in an injection molded part are to be expected, you should design your parts with as much consideration for stress reduction as possible,” said John Bozzelli, president of Injection Molding Solutions. “Ways to do this include adding smooth transitions between features, and using rounds and fillets in possible high-stress areas.”
Each injection mold design requires a gate to allow the molten plastic to be injected into the cavity of the mold. Gate type, design, and location can impact the part packing, gate removal or vestige, cosmetic appearance of the part, and part dimensions and warping. There are two types of gates available for injection molding — manually trimmed and automatically trimmed — and perhaps the main factor to consider when choosing the proper gate type for your application is the gate design.
According to injection molding technology provider Quickparts Solutions Inc., the four most popular types are the edge gate, which is located on the edge of the part, is best suited for flat parts, and leaves a scar at the parting line; the sub gate, which is automatically trimmed, requires ejector pins, and leaves a pin-sized scar on the part; the hot tip gate, which is often located at the top of the part, is ideal for round or conical shapes where uniform flow is necessary, and leaves a small raised nub on the part surface; and the direct or sprue gate, which is said to be the easiest to design, has low cost and maintenance requirements, and leaves a large scar on the part at the point of contact.
Gate design is definitely not to be taken lightly. “Many problems are a result of part designers and tool designers underestimating and improperly predicting the impact of the decisions relating to the use of hot runner gates,” said Kip Doyle. “It’s an absolutely critical design element.”
It’s hard to overestimate the importance of wall thickness to plastic parts. “Choosing the proper wall thickness for your part can have drastic effects on the cost and production speed of manufacturing,” said John MacDonald, director of sales in Canada for Solid Concepts Inc. “While there are no wall thickness restrictions, the goal is usually to choose the thinnest wall possible, since this uses less material and reduces cost, cooling time, and cycle time.”
On average, MacDonald continued, the wall thickness of an injection molded part ranges from 2 mm to 4 mm (0.080 inches to 0.160 inches). Thin-wall injection molding can produce walls as thin as 0.05 mm (0.020 inches).
Not surprisingly, cooling time varies according to wall thickness, with a ripple effect on quality as the part cools. “During the cooling process, if walls are an inconsistent thickness, the thinner walls will cool first while the thick walls are still solidifying,” said John Bozzelli. “As the thick section cools, it shrinks around the already solid thinner section, causing warping, twisting or cracking to occur where the two sections meet.” How do you avoid these problems? “Try to design with completely uniform walls throughout the part,” Bozzelli said. “When uniform walls aren’t possible, then the change in thickness should be as gradual as possible to avoid stress concentrations and abrupt cooling differences. Also, wall thickness variations shouldn’t exceed 10 per cent in high mold shrinkage plastics.”
And since the amount of shrinkage is polymer-dependent, resin should be chosen with care. But of course that doesn’t always happen. “All too often, the material selection process is rushed, and based mostly on choosing a material that has already been used for a similar part,” said Kip Doyle. “With thousands of variations of materials available, the designer must take time and do the proper research to make the best choice not only for the function of the part, but for the lowest overall cost in the long-run — which isn’t the same thing as picking the least expensive material.”
The material chosen should meet all functional requirements, Doyle continued, and also be easy to handle and process. “Processability, in particular, is rarely given proper consideration,” he said. “Part designers don’t always consider the fact that a lower viscosity material that meets the functional requirements helps to reduce process variation.”
And whatever resin is ultimately selected for the part, the manufacturer’s process guidelines should always be followed for best results.
Other options for complex parts that need variations on wall thickness include using design features such as coring or using ribs. “Rib thickness should be less than wall thickness to minimize sinking effects, and the recommended rib thickness should not exceed 60 per cent of the nominal thickness,” said John MacDonald. “Plus, the rib should be attached with corner radii as generous as possible, and the height of a rib should be limited to less than three times its thickness.” It’s also better to use multiple ribs to increase bending stiffness than to use one very tall rib, he added.
DRAFT AND TEXTURE
Most injection molded plastic parts include features that we’ve already encountered — such as outside walls and internal ribs — that are formed by opposing surfaces of tool metal inside a closed mold. To allow the part to break free as soon as the mold opens, the side walls of the mold are tapered in the direction of the opening, a process usually referred to as “draft in the line of draw”. The amount of draft required can depend on the surface finish of the mold. A smooth, polished tool surface usually allows the part to eject with less draft than a standard tool surface. The amount of draft required (in degrees) varies with the geometry and surface texture requirements of the part. “Allowing for as much draft as possible will permit parts to release from the mold easily,” said John MacDonald. “Typically, one to two degrees of draft with an additional 1.5 degrees per 0.25 mm depth of texture is enough to do the trick.”
On a related note, texturing — a process used to apply patterns to a mold surface — allows flexibility in creating the final appearance of your parts, and can also be used to camouflage gate marks or other part imperfections. Draft for texturing is somewhat dependent on the part design and on the specific texture desired. According to Quickparts Solutions, when applying a texture to a part the CAD drawing must be adjusted to accommodate for this surface variance. “If the texture is on a surface that is perpendicular or angled away from the mold opening, then no draft changes are necessary,” the company said. “If the texture is on a parallel surface with the mold opening, however, increased draft is necessary to prevent scraping and drag marks during part ejection.” And remember, different textures have different impacts on the molded part. “The rule of thumb when designing for texture is to have 1.5 degrees of draft for each 0.001 inch of texture finish depth,” the company said.
There’s no getting away from part lines, which are the lines of separation on the part where the two halves of the mold meet. “While on simple parts this plane can be a simple, flat surface, it’s often a complex form that traces the perimeter of the part around the various features that make up the part’s outer silhouette,” said John MacDonald. Part lines can also occur where any two pieces of a mold meet, he continued, including side action pins, tool inserts, and shutoffs. “Parting lines cannot be avoided; every part has them,” MacDonald said. “When designing your part, remember that the melt will always flow towards the parting line because it’s the easiest place for the displaced air to escape.”
Sharp corners greatly increase the stress concentrations that can lead to part failure. “Sharp corners often occur in non-obvious places, such as a boss attached to a surface or a strengthening rib,” said John MacDonald. “The radius of sharp corners needs to be watched closely because the stress concentration factor varies with radius for a given thickness.” Rule of thumb? “At corners, the suggested inside radius is 0.5 times the material thickness and the outside radius is 1.5 times the material thickness,” MacDonald said. “A bigger radius should be used if the part design allows it.”
In the end, the old adage that the devil is in the details has rarely been more true than when designing a complex part. “Today’s molders are pushing the limits in so many ways — thinner, smaller, bigger, two-shot molding, insert molding — that there isn’t much room for error,” said Kip Doyle. “I always recommend that the part design phase involve a team of experts from all departments, and also that additional precautionary measures be taken — flow simulation, third party review, and prototyping — before cutting production steel.” Because it’s a whole lot easier to avoid problems in the beginning than to change your design down the line. | <urn:uuid:08aea926-08f1-4278-9e7e-bdc51fd1f86e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.canplastics.com/plastics-processes/design-better-injection-molded-part/1003378850/ | 2022-01-24T16:39:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304572.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124155118-20220124185118-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.943629 | 2,297 |
A biopic of Mary Magdalene, a follower of Jesus and witness to his crucifixion and resurrection, has been scheduled for release in 2017.
The biblical character was first depicted on film in 1912 in an American film called From the Manger to the Cross, filmed on location in Palestine, and has been portrayed in multiple films since. However, this new biopic is the first to focus on the life of Mary herself.
The as-yet untitled film hopes to explore more fully the mysterious character of the woman who first witnessed Jesus' resurrection.
"Mary Magdalene is a strong character, who was so unique in her time, and her story will give audiences a chance to experience the cultural turbulence, human passions, and devotional beliefs that set in motion so much of modern history," Peter Kujawski and Robert Walak of Universal Pictures International Productions told Deadline.
It will be produced by Iain Canning and Emile Sherman, the pair behind The King's Speech, and directed by Garth Davis.
"We are thrilled to partner with Iain and Emile at See-Saw on this project, who have a track record for developing compelling material with a focus on quality. We're certain that Garth's artistic vision will deliver an incredibly powerful new perspective on one of the world's most well-known origin stories," Kujawski and Walak added.
Mary Magdalene is one of the most intriguing and talked about biblical characters. During the Middle Ages, she took on the identity of a repentant prostitute, despite there being no suggestion of this in the Gospels. She has also been rumoured to be Jesus' wife, another reputation unsupported in the canon. However, she was a close follower of Jesus – mentioned at least 12 times in the Gospels, more than most apostles – and is considered, by many, as one of the heroines of the faith. | <urn:uuid:980012e2-4d57-421d-97a2-4b5c6f57b869> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.christiantoday.com/article/a.new.biopic.is.being.made.about.mary.magdalene/77333.htm | 2022-01-24T16:51:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304572.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124155118-20220124185118-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.972549 | 391 |

The MARKK Hamburg (former Museum of Ethnology) awaits visitors with countless artefacts from different peoples as well as exciting special exhibitions on cultures from different continents.
Founded in 1879, the Museum für Völkerkunde (Museum of Anthropology) is one of Europe’s largest anthropological museums. Its collections comprise approx. 700,000 objects and document the art and cultural histories of the peoples of the world.
The Museum für Völkerkunde in Hamburg sees itself as a meeting place for people of all cultures. Visitors here encounter the most diverse cultures of the world. The museum houses cultural artefacts from all parts of the earth: for example North America, ancient Egypt or New Zealand – treasures from the entire world can be seen here. The visit becomes a thrilling journey round the world, and you are constantly immersed in history.
Diverse festivals, concerts and markets make it a unique meeting point for people from every part of the world. Visitors enjoy international delicacies in the adjoining restaurant "Okzident".
The Museum of Anthropology has one of the largest collections in Germany. Especially popular is the permanent exhibition with historic photographs of Central and South America from the 19th century. Valuable treasures and stone sculptures of the Aztecs and Mayas can be seen here, not to mention everyday items such as textiles and pots. The Middle East collection has beautiful glass paintings; the Asia Department draws visitors with its Samurai armour and Buddha statues. Those on the trail of magic and sorcery can visit the witches' archive: This takes you back in time to the European Middle Ages and you learn something about the superstitions against intelligent women of the time.
In addition, the Museum of Anthropology in Hamburg has special offers for children: During weekends, the museum offers children the opportunity to make arts and crafts in a workshop, and afterwards they can take their artworks home with them. Also exciting for the children are the numerous films. Of particular interest to the little researchers is that they can celebrate their birthdays in the museum, and to top it all off they go on a treasure hunt.

The aim of the BIOMEP project is to establish a bioassay that allows to study the invasive potential of prostate cancer cells into different human healthy micro-tissues such as liver and bone. The fully humanized 3D microfluidics system will identify tumor cell and tissue factors that determine cell invasion into healthy tissues and therefore may guide metastasis-targeted drug development, support non-animal drug testing and may be transferable to other cancer types as well.
The BIOMEP project is a collaboration between Erasmus MC and InSphero AG (Schlieren, Switzerland) and is funded by the joined initiative of SGF, NWO Domain AES, ZonMw and Top Sector LSH. The project team consists of PI Dr Wytske van Weerden, Drs. Wilma Teubel, Dr. Franziska Linke (all Dept of Urology) and Dr. Martin E. v Royen (Dept of Pathology) from the Erasmus MC, and Dr. Olivier Frey (InSphero, Switzerland). They/we are dedicated to build a culture system that mimics invasion of circulating tumour cells into healthy organ tissues to allow research and drug testing in a faster and more clinically-reliable patient-based context. | <urn:uuid:506b6405-2f44-40e3-9194-bcf63ee2f428> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.hdmt.technology/2021/04/30/franziska-linke-joined-biomep-at-erasmus-mc-rotterdam/ | 2022-01-24T17:59:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304572.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124155118-20220124185118-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.905007 | 351 |
Hitfile.net comes with a variety of file storage features for everyone to enjoy– whether for personal or business use. By getting a hitfile premium account, you’ll be able to enjoy a lot of benefits. Likewise, if you’re wondering if it’s similar to OneDrive, or what made it different, keep on reading to find out!
If you’re in search for a reliable platform where you can handle your files, then, a lot of people would suggest using a cloud storage provider. Both Hitfile.net and OneDrive are cloud based services that allow their users to keep, share, and synchronize their files across various devices.
Hitfile.net is advertised mainly for document handling and storage provider, but its use also goes beyond that.
What Makes Them Similar?
Both providers use Office 365 in order to create details and share it with other users. In order to ensure that things are secured, documents are shared to a cloud provider, and through this, users can easily monitor the changes happening with their files, as everything is present in a single location. Furthermore, one of the few reasons that these providers are getting more and more well-sought of is because users can easily introduce comments and notes in real time. Likewise, since data can easily be synchronized, and available when needed, everyone enjoys access to real time data.
More Personal with OneDrive
It’s worth noting that OneDrive uses a SharePoint backdrop to function, and this connects two programs. This means it’s perfect for individuals who want to have full control with the files they share with other users. Aside from that, they could also work continuously as long as the up-loader shares the document through a secure link, and this allows the user to determine who is allowed to edit the file.
There’s More to Hitfile.net
With Hitfile.net, everyone who has access to the file will be able to check and edit it. The changes done can be monitored and higher-ups will have the idea of who’s working on the document. This is perfect for human resource surveys or updates that call for attention from other team members.
OneDrive allows you to easily sync the computer and the cloud. All you have to do is choose the folder, and sync it up. As easy as that. Aside from that, you can easily share files with other members as well. This allows you to enjoy fast and simple collaboration across various channels. There’s also an automatic synchronization with choosing local folders, and with a OneDrive cloud folder, you could automatically sync all local documents to the cloud for easy access. Meaning to say, there’s definitely a lot of features for you to enjoy. The only drawback is that, it’s layout could be improved further to make it a little more user friendly. This holds true for sharing settings that can be a little confusing and it calls for multiple steps to approve when someone wants to access the document.
With Hitfile.net and OneDrive, businesses could notice an improvement on how they handle tasks. For those who want to learn how online document sharing program works, both of which can be the perfect solution for your need. | <urn:uuid:789081f4-d33c-4fe3-9444-d74e1fdc3ee1> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.hitfilepremium.com/hitfile-net-vs-onedrive/ | 2022-01-24T16:38:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304572.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124155118-20220124185118-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.952862 | 669 |
Clinical Technologists Training, The RCT
Every trainee on the IPEM Clinical Technologist Training Scheme is allocated two moderators: an external moderator and a supporting moderator.
The external moderator carries out visits at the trainee's workplace to assess practical skills and offer advice on production of the training portfolio. This relationship is very important as it allows the trainee to discuss practical skills and issues with a professional from another department. It means that good practice can be shared across the scheme. The external moderator also benefits from building relationships with colleagues from different locations, again, sharing ideas and good practice.
The supporting moderator usually gets involved at the end of the training unless there are issues raised that require an independent opinion or the external moderator requires help and advice. The supporting moderator marks the portfolio.
More information regarding these roles can be found in the IPEM Clinical Technologist Training Scheme Handbook here – please see page 9.
IPEM is always looking for new external moderators who are willing to share their skills and experience with younger colleagues. This vital role in the training scheme brings many rewards and is open to IPEM Full Members and Fellows; plus Associate members who also hold RCT Registration. We offer training days, which are held around the UK every year, in order for all of those involved in the training scheme to share good practice and learn more about the scheme. Observation visits alongside experienced moderators are arranged to get you started and all paperwork is provided with support from the IPEM national office. In addition, IPEM pays all reasonable expenses for your travel and accommodation to help you to carry out this role. If you'd like to join our team of moderators please complete the IPEM professional contributor application form here (you will need to be logged in to view this page) and return it to the IPEM national office. We will contact you as soon as possible with a decision.

Theatre review: In the Solitude of Cotton Fields at the Tristan Bates Theatre
Adaptation of French playwright Bernard-Marie Koltes’ intense two-hander
�The intimate setting of the Tristan Bates theatre forms the perfect backdrop for this intense two-hander directed by Kimberly Sykes.
The action focuses on the tempestuous relationship between a Dealer and Client who encounter one another by chance in the dark streets of an unknown place. What is being bought or sold is undisclosed: the transaction forms the backdrop to a philosophical dissection of the human psyche.
The Dealer (Alexander Roberts) draws in his Client (Christopher Hughes) with a camp cockney drawl and a pair of leather leggings lewdly bulging at the crotch. But the predator becomes prey and vice versa as both men win and lose the battle for supremacy several times. Creatively staged, the only props are the coats hanging on each wall, and a loudspeaker.
Christopher Hughes is credible as the outwardly conventional Client while Alexander Roberts’ multi-faceted performance brilliantly shows the flaws and strengths of the Dealer, and the inherent contradictions in his nature.
Although Bernard-Marie Koltes is one of the most produced playwrights in France he is relatively obscure in the UK, partly because some of the experimental theatrical techniques he dives into from the start.
An interesting adaptation of a complex piece.

Foreign investments into the United States and U.S. direct investment abroad can trigger certain mandatory regulatory reporting for U.S. businesses. The U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) issues four different surveys to obtain data on foreign direct investment (FDI) in the United States as well as three surveys on U.S. direct investment abroad for use in publishing statistical information and economic reports. To obtain the necessary data, BEA requires U.S. persons and businesses, including real estate ventures, to complete these surveys. The threshold requirement for the surveys is a 10 percent or greater ownership, directly or indirectly, of voting interests in a business. Additionally, for certain surveys, U.S. persons and businesses are required to complete and submit the survey even if they are not contacted by BEA. Failure to provide BEA with the requisite information can lead to certain civil and/or criminal penalties, which are discussed in further detail below.
Foreign Direct Investment Surveys
The four FDI surveys are the New Foreign Direct Investment Survey (BE-13), Quarterly Survey (BE-605), Annual Survey (BE-15), and Benchmark Survey (BE-12) (collectively the "BEA FDI surveys"). These surveys have been brought back into focus with the reinstatement of the BE-13 survey. As explained below, completion of two of the four surveys is automatically required of U.S. businesses that meet the regulatory requirements; completion of the remaining two surveys is required only when contacted by BEA. The FDI surveys only apply to businesses, including entities, groups, and associations that exist to make a profit or for economic advantage.
1. New Foreign Direct Investment Survey: BE-13
In September 2014, BEA reinstated the BE-13 reporting requirement, Survey of New Foreign Direct Investment in the United States, after a five-year lapse. Completion of the BE-13 survey by U.S. businesses is required following certain new foreign investments, including when a foreign person first acquires 10 percent or more of the voting interests, investments leading to the acquisition or establishment of U.S. business enterprises by foreign persons, and investments intended to facilitate the expansion of existing U.S. affiliates of foreign companies.
There are six different BE-13 survey forms covering various types of FDI. The U.S. business must determine which to complete based upon the type of investment made. The forms are:
The BE-13 survey is mandatory and must be completed by the U.S. business, regardless of whether it is contacted by BEA, no later than 45 days following the completion of the foreign investment. While January 12, 2015, was the deadline for 2014 BE-13 surveys for FDI made on or before November 26, 2014, BEA has informally stated that it will not penalize entities that have missed the deadline and submit the surveys after that date.
2. Benchmark Survey: BE-12
The Benchmark Survey is the most comprehensive of BEA's FDI surveys and it is done every five years in lieu of the Annual Survey, described below. The BE-12 survey applies to any U.S. entity in which foreign investors hold at least 10 percent of the voting interests at the end of the reporting calendar year where the entity's total revenue, total assets, or net income exceeds $60 million. The applicable forms are the BE-12A, BE-12B, BE-12C, and the BE-12 Claim for Not Filing. The specific form required for this survey is determined by the size of the U.S. business and amount of foreign ownership. The information required by this survey includes identification of foreign parents, major products, and/or services provided by the U.S. business; sales or gross operating revenues; balance sheet information; income and employment information; and financial and operating data for the U.S. business. Parties may file a Claim for Exemption rather than survey responses if their foreign ownership has fallen below 10 percent within the calendar year of BEA's request; if the entity has been fully consolidated or merged into another U.S. business; or if the entity has been liquidated or dissolved.
Like the BE-13 survey, completion of the Benchmark Survey is required regardless of whether an entity is contacted by BEA. This survey was most recently issued in 2012 and will not be issued again until 2017.
Surveys to Be Completed Only if Contacted by BEA
1. Quarterly Survey: BE-605
BEA also conducts a Quarterly Survey to capture data on the relative positions of and transactions between U.S. businesses and their foreign parents and/or foreign affiliates. The Quarterly Survey covers two types of FDI situations: (1) transactions between a U.S. business and its foreign parent and/or foreign affiliates and (2) situations where a U.S. business with 10 percent or more foreign ownership interest is established, acquired, liquidated, sold, or becomes inactive during the reporting period. Unlike the other BEA FDI surveys, there is only one form for the Quarterly Survey, the BE-605. U.S. entities are only required to complete the Quarterly Survey if they are contacted by BEA. Certain exemptions apply, but if a contacted U.S. business qualifies for an exemption from the survey, it must still submit a Claim for Exemption. Contacted entities must file survey responses within 45 days of the close of the fourth calendar or fiscal quarter, or within 30 days of the close of each of the other calendar or fiscal quarters.
2. Annual Survey: BE-15
In addition, BEA conducts an Annual Survey. The Annual Survey is designed to provide data on the yearly financial and operating data of U.S. businesses in which foreign persons own at least 10 percent of the voting interests. Companies are only required to respond to the Annual Survey if contacted by BEA. For those contacted companies, the appropriate form is determined based on the size of the U.S. business. The forms are the BE-15A, BE-15B, BE-15C, and the BE-15 Claim for Exemption. This year, the Annual Survey is due by May 31, 2015, and it is conducted each of the four years between the Benchmark Survey.
There are exemptions, including for those businesses whose foreign voting ownership (or the equivalent) has fallen below 10 percent; where the U.S. business contacted was fully consolidated or merged into another U.S. business; and where total assets, sales or gross operating revenues, or net income are all $40 million or less (positive or negative). However, if contacted by BEA, a U.S. business falling within an exemption must still submit a Claim for Exemption.
U.S. Direct Investment Abroad
To collect economic data on the operations of U.S. parent companies and their foreign affiliates, BEA issues three U.S. direct investment abroad surveys. Unlike the BEA FDI surveys, individuals—not just businesses—have reporting obligations under these U.S. direct investment surveys. The surveys are the Quarterly Survey (BE-577), the Annual Survey (BE-11), and the Benchmark Survey (BE-10). These surveys are similar to the FDI Quarterly, Annual, and Benchmark Surveys.
1. Benchmark Survey: BE-10
The BE-10 survey collects data on the direct investment by U.S. persons and businesses (collectively "U.S. persons") outside the United States. A U.S. person holding at least 10 percent of the voting interest in a foreign business enterprise at any time during that U.S. person's 2014 fiscal year is required to file the appropriate BE-10 form, including if the foreign business began or was terminated, liquidated, acquired, or inactivated during the U.S person's fiscal year 2014. As with the FDI Benchmark Survey, the U.S. Direct Investment Abroad Benchmark Survey is conducted every five years and U.S. persons and businesses are required to file even if not contacted by BEA.
There are various BE-10 forms, the BE-10A, BE-10B, BE-10C, and BE-10D. Generally, the BE-10A form covers the U.S. person and forms BE-10B through 10-D cover the foreign affiliates in which the U.S. person has a direct investment. A survey needs to be completed and filed for each of the U.S. person's foreign affiliates.
BEA is currently collecting data for the Benchmark Survey. Deadlines for submission are May 29, 2015, for a U.S. person filing fewer than 50 surveys and June 30, 2015, for a U.S. person filing 50 or more surveys.
1. Quarterly Survey: BE-577
The Quarterly Survey, as with other U.S. direct investment surveys, applies to U.S. persons who own, directly or indirectly, at least 10 percent of the voting interest in a foreign business enterprise, which includes any business, including real estate, that is for profit-making or economic-advantage purposes. As with the FDI Quarterly Survey (BE-605), a U.S. person is only required to complete the BE-577 survey if contacted by BEA and there is only the one form, the BE-577. U.S. persons, however, may need to file multiple surveys, as a survey is required for each directly owned foreign affiliate that has total assets, annual sales, or gross operating revenue in excess of $60 million (positive or negative), as well as for each indirectly owned foreign affiliate that has total assets, annual sales, or gross operating revenue in excess of $60 million (positive or negative) and had an intercompany debt balance with the U.S person that exceeded $1 million.
This survey is conducted at the same time as the FDI Quarterly Survey, and due within 30 days of the end of the U.S. person's fiscal quarter and within 45 days of its final quarter. BEA issued its Federal Register Notice for this survey and the FDI Quarterly Survey on March 9, 2015.
2. Annual Survey: BE-11
Comparable to the FDI Annual Survey, the U.S. Direct Investment Abroad Annual Survey is designed to provide data on the yearly financial and operating data of a U.S. person that has a foreign affiliate at the end of the U.S. person's fiscal year. A BE-11 survey is required by a U.S. person that holds at least 10 percent of the voting interests in a foreign affiliate at the end of the U.S. person's fiscal year. As with other direct investment surveys, there are multiple forms (BE-11A, BE-11B, BE-11C, BE-11D, and a Claim for Exemption). Form BE-11A is for the U.S. person and forms BE-11B through 11D cover the foreign affiliates. A separate form needs to be completed for each foreign affiliate unless exempt. The appropriate forms are determined by whether the foreign affiliate is majority or minority-owned and the value of the assets, sales, or net income of the foreign affiliate.
U.S. persons are required to respond to the Annual Survey only if contacted by BEA. As the Benchmark Survey for U.S. Direct Investment Abroad is currently being conducted by BEA, there will be no Annual Survey for U.S. direct investment abroad in 2014.
Form of Report
The BEA surveys are confidential and may be used only for statistical and analytical purposes. They may not be used for taxation, investigation, or regulatory purposes. The relevant regulations regarding these surveys are set forth in 15 C.F.R. Part 801. Each survey should be completed on a consolidated basis, with a single submission for all U.S. businesses sharing common ownership.
BEA may impose civil and/or criminal penalties for failure to complete required surveys. Civil penalties include fines ranging from $2,500 to $32,500 and civil actions such as a restraining order, as well as permanent or temporary injunctions commanding the U.S. business to furnish information or to otherwise comply with BEA. Criminal penalties for willful failure to file required responses include fines up to $10,000 and/or up to one year imprisonment. Penalties may be levied against the entity and/or any officer, director, employee, or agent of any corporation. | <urn:uuid:ad0e3590-7bcf-47bc-bb25-0107f0e2ad05> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.jdsupra.com/post/contentViewerEmbed.aspx?fid=efa516a6-02da-4e15-a6ed-b8fa629df66c | 2022-01-24T18:04:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304572.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124155118-20220124185118-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.945225 | 2,605 |

Village ~$500 same as 21 hundred, but closer to University
Cottages Of Lubbock ~$620 most people are from a fraternity/sorority, management is bad but houses are nice, utilities are high.
Republic At Lubbock ~$620 same as Cottages of Lubbock but parties are better imo
Park East Lubbock ~$500 good management, hotel style and pet friendly, I personally like it, close to Walmart
The Bloc Lubbock ~$500 worse management but virtually similar to Park East, the owner used to manage 1819 (new park east) but sold it and moved instead

Norwegian PV manufacturer REC Solar ASA on Thursday posted a second-quarter net profit of $16.2 million (12 million) on revenue of $175.8 million (130.5 million).
REC Solar was spun off Renewable Energy Corporation (REC) in September last year after the parent company split its business, which also resulted in the creation of the separate REC Silicon ASA.
REC Solar's second-quarter revenue was down slightly compared to last year, when the then division posted second quarter revenue of NOK 1.07 billion (136 million) and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of NOK 75 million (9.5 million). By comparison, REC Solars EBITDA figure in the second quarter of this year reached $21.1 million, or 15.7 million.
The companys module production reached 232 MW in the period, up 7.4% from the first three months of 2014.
"REC's second quarter of 2014 was characterized by high sales volumes in Europe, softer market conditions in Japan and sales pipeline building up in the U.S. market, said REC Solar CEO Martin Cooper.
"The launch of our Peak Energy 72 series panels and our recently announced sales agreement with SolarCity demonstrate our ability to react quickly to market opportunities, Cooper added, stressing that REC was well positioned to capitalize on the market opportunities in the U.S. market."
The chief exec said the company continued to focus on reducing its solar panel cash costs per watt to remain competitive and added that the groups furnace upgrade and module capacity expansion in Singapore was progressing according to plan.
Speaking to pv magazine, Luc Graré, REC Solars senior vice president of Sales and Marketing for Europe, the Middle East, Africa and South America, said Europe remained the companys main market in the second quarter, accounting for 60% of overall sales with 135 MW of solar modules sold. The United Kingdom proved the companys biggest market between April and June with 62 MW of panels sold, followed by Germany with 52 MW.
Graré added that REC Solar saw great potential in the United States. In June, REC Solar signed a supply agreement with leading U.S. solar provider SolarCity for a minimum of 100 MW and up to 240 MW of RECs Peak Energy solar panels for a one-year period beginning in the fourth quarter of 2014. SolarCity, the U.S. largest solar power provider, plans to install the solar panels across its 15-state service territory.
Sales in Japan, meanwhile, were down compared to the same perdiod last year. The country accounted for 29% of REC Solar's overal sales in the second quarter of 2013 and 37% in the first quarter of 2014 but only 25% in Q214.
Graré furthermore pointed out that PV panel prices dropped 1.5% from Q114 to Q214 while shipments in the period rose 1.2%.
Graré said the company was seeking to reduce costs by between 8-12% this year, adding that savings might be in the lower end of that target due to the fact that its factory capacity expansion was not yet completed and additional wafer purchases have been necessary for its module production.

The electrification of mobility is in full swing. As electric vehicles (EV) become ever more popular, public charging points are spreading – their numbers have doubled in the last two years in the EU. But public charging points alone will not be enough to power the transition to electrified mobility, we need more (smart) connections in buildings.
Most users charge their vehicles at home or at work, where cars are parked most of the time. Long parking times offer great potential to optimise EVs’ electricity use through ‘smart charging.’ This means charging cars when it is most beneficial for the driver and the grid – for instance, when overall energy demand is lower or cheaper renewable energy is available.
Smart charging can help prevent the transition to an electrified mobility system from requiring massive, costly reinforcement of grids, or worse, from fuelling the temptation to fire up gas plants to deliver the additional electricity needed at peak times.
To fully disengage ourselves from such issues, we need an EU strategy to install millions of smart charging points in buildings. In short, we need a ‘right to plug’ so that people can charge their vehicles wherever they are customarily parked. The flow of energy within buildings and onto the grid can then be optimised by smart standards.
Not only that, EV batteries can function as storage to help manage the network. Since a car can hold as much energy as a typical household consumes in a few days, connecting them to a smart network could change electricity grids as we know them. Smartly managed, electric vehicles not only emit less CO2 than combustion cars, but they could also reduce total grid emissions.
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), which the European Commission revise by the end of this year, offers a unique opportunity to help consumers switch to smart electromobility – minimising the cost for them, the power system, and the environment.
Turning parking places into charging spaces
EV charging is poised to get a great push in the EU. Through the upcoming Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR), the EU will set targets for rolling out public charging infrastructure to ensure seamless routes across the continent. Providing an ‘essential’ public charging network is, however, only the first step.
To achieve a clean, reliable grid with large numbers of EVs used as flexible resources for the power system, we need to tap into home and workplace charging, too, giving everyone access to a smart plug. To get there, it is important EU policymakers raise ambition of the EPBD revision in two areas.
First, the EPBD should make sure buildings are ready for EVs by setting requirements for sufficient charging points in buildings. In practice, many parking lots should simply evolve into charging spaces. For residential buildings, all parking should be prepared for installing a charging point through pre-cabling infrastructure so that when a user is ready to switch to an EV, so is their home. This is a low-cost measure that would help consumers save installation costs further down the line.
In short, we need a ‘right to plug’ so that people can charge their vehicles wherever they are customarily parked.
The current EPBD already has provisions for vehicle charging in new and retrofitted buildings, but the small print significantly weakens some of the requirements. For example, small- to mid-size enterprises (SMEs), which account for 99.8% of all enterprises in Europe, are exempted from electromobility provisions. Also, EU Member States are free to set minimum thresholds for buildings, excluding most single-family houses and small apartment dwellings. EU policymakers should close these loopholes when revising the EPBD.
Second, we need a right to plug for renters and owners, enabling the upgrade of existing dwellings and removing the current barriers to home charging. Nowadays, in some EU countries, all homeowners must approve the installation of a charging station in a shared building. A right to plug could speed up the rollout of home chargers as it would include provisions to avoid a single neighbour blocking the installation of a plug.
Limited grid capacity is another argument often used against installing an EV charger. However, since smart charging can work around capacity limitations at the building or local grid level, the right to plug effectively ensures that connecting a charger does not need to come with an upgrade to the building grid.
If the EU decides to act and ensure EV-ready buildings and a right to a smart plug, EV charging could be ubiquitous 15 years from now.
No smart charging without robust standards
For smart charging to work properly, key legislation such as the EPBD will need to define the right technical specifications. Then, European standardisation organisations must develop robust standards, aiming to allow EVs to communicate with the building and the grid. In addition, technical standards should make it easy for users to connect their devices, and have them communicate within buildings and with the grid. Standards can serve to remove complexity for users and drive down technology costs.
Some of the necessary standards are advancing, while others are still in their infancy and need improvement. For instance, standards must allow drivers to link their cars to any building energy management system, not only those supported by the car brand. If well implemented, these standards will ensure electric cars can adjust and shift their demand, buffer renewable energy, avoid grid imbalances, and even feed power back to the building or the grid, boosting the energy performance of buildings.
With parking lots turned into charging spaces and robust standards in place, houses and workplaces can become a cornerstone for the integration of energy, mobility, and buildings. Through the right to a smart plug the EPBD can spearhead the transition to clean mobility in a climate neutral Europe.

Sunday 26 September is National Get Outside Day – an opportunity to celebrate the great outdoors and inspire the nation to get outside more often. This year’s theme is Be Kind to the environment, to yourself and to others.
At the Society, we’re big advocates for the importance of spending time outdoors for everyone’s physical, mental and social wellbeing. We asked a number of our staff what they love about being in nature and how they best like to spend their time in the great outdoors.
“For me, nothing beats a good hike – the more I do it, the more I want to explore! The feeling you get when you reach the top of that mountain, big hill or viewpoint is second to none – even when I’ve had to don my waterproofs, I’m always still in awe of the beauty of the natural world around us.”
“Being outside everyday is so important to me. Whether it’s a family walk with the dog, up in the mountains, paddleboarding, or climbing - I find inspiration and energy in the outdoors. Getting kids outside, whether it’s adventures with my son or doing activities with Scouts, is so important – the outdoors gives skills and perspective to all ages. Plus, I can always get another map if there is somewhere new to explore.”
“I love being in the great outdoors and by far my favourite hobby is wild swimming. I’m really privileged to live near the River Thames and I go for a dip any chance I can get, no matter the season! Being so close to nature is a special experience and wild swimming gives me a new perspective on the world. I’ve been lucky enough to see some marvellous wildlife and I find it very therapeutic – a perfect wind down at the end of a long day at work. The river bank is my ‘go to’ place to find some peace and solace in the world.”
“One way or another I'll be out rock climbing on National Get Outside Day! There is an amazing exhilaration, elegance and finesse to not just climbing, but climbing a route well. You develop a rhythm and grace to movement that flows with an artistic arc. However, you also need power and a mental ability to handle risk. Combined, there is no other sport that can compare to being ‘in the zone.’ And I’ll definitely be in Spain the following week soaking up some winter sun on hard rock!”
“My favourite thing to do outdoors is go exploring with my dog, Luna. It keeps me fit, helps me enjoy some of London (and the rest of the country’s) green spaces, and connects me with the nature that surrounds us, no matter where we are.”
“A favourite family quote of ours is by Konrad Lorenz from The Waning of Humaneness ‘Nature is so complex we will never fully understand it but if we want to begin to understand it we must do three things – be as close as possible to nature, for as long as possible, at the earliest possible age.’”

Rockbox mail archiveSubject: adding patches
From: daniel dalton <daniel.dalton47_at_gmail.com>
Date: Sun, 25 Mar 2007 20:00:16 +1000
I can now compile the source to make my rockbox build using cygwin.
Thankyou to everyone who helped me. However I now want to add a patch to
my rockbox build.
So to add a patch should I do the following.
1 Navigate to my build dir which is in the rockbox source folder. 2 type
../tools/configure 3 Type 11 to select h300. 4 Type N to select normal
build. 5 Type patch -p0 < patchfile.diff To add my patch.
Then if I do this I get lots of errors.
Does anyone know what I am doing rong and how I can fix this?
I have a few more questions.
When I download the patch can I name it anything I want with the diff
extension? Also should I just put the patches in my build dir which is
in my rockbox source folder? To patch a .patch file do I just type patch
-p0 < patchfile.patch All help is greatly appreciated.
If you add me to skype or msn please send me an email telling me who you

“Traditional running shoes are on the left,” says Kerrigan, “barefoot is in the middle, and OESH is on the right.” Kerrigan comes from a background of physical medicine and rehabilitation. She attended Harvard Medical School where she earned her degree in kinesiology. She’s a professor in mechanical engineering at UVA, and has 20 years of research studying walking and running gait and biomechanics.
OESH shoes, which look more like walking or nursing shoes than running shoes and are intended to be worn as “All-day Shoes"— with that day including running, or other activities — have been sold primarily online, and out of the factory a few hours a day, three days a week. “That’s been really fun,” says Kerrigan. “It kind of turns into my office hours, talking to people about injuries and seeing people talk to each other.”
I was skeptical when I received my sample pair. I thought I’d wear them a few times, write about them, and shove them away in the closet. But I have to say, they’re crazy comfortable. I ditched my orthotics and wore them on short walks, then long walks, then short runs. (At close to a pound per pair, I feel like they’re too heavy for long runs.) I’m intrigued by how the midsole seems to adjust to my individual foot strike, which is different on each foot. My standard ailments—from a bunion to a tight hip to low-back pain—don't bother me so much when I wear these shoes. The shoes seem to parallel the natural, and even barefoot, running trend, but with a totally different approach.
Here’s what Kerrigan has to say about the shoes.
Runner’s World: Tell me the theory behind OESH.
Casey Kerrigan: The intrinsic design of these shoes is different. There’s this idea that impact causes injury. Yes, when you get in a car accident, that’s true. But with walking and running, it’s really when your weight is fully planted and your weight is fully over your foot that your body weight is at its maximum. That’s where we develop every stress on our bodies. The compliant surface of the Harvard Indoor Track minimized injuries by 50% the first year it was in use. The foam used in traditional running shoes doesn’t achieve the compliant surface, or reduce forces when our bodies really need it. The goal is to provide relief in perfect tune when the body weight is at its highest.
RW: I read that you recommend ditching orthotics…
CK: You put on an orthotic, and you look like you’re more anatomically correct as it’s altering the forces you can’t see. You’ve shifted the forces to the inside of the foot, and increased the forces on the knee and the hip. It basically ices the foot…Freezes the foot out from what it’s supposed to do. The pronation and supination of the foot is key, even if you’re an overpronator or oversupinator, and an orthotic interferes with that motion.
RW: Tell me about the differences between the carbon fiber and traditional foam.
CK: Foam bottoms out, plastic, spring…all bottoms out before you get to that magic point where forces are the greatest. The carbon fiber works with the foot. It’s helping it get to the measurable compliance of the track.
Foam used for cushioning or pronation control increases forces on the body, and as it packs out, it changes daily with how it affects your gait. When my daughters ran in middle school, I didn’t let them wear traditional shoes. I had them in racing flats, because I thought traditional shoes would cause them damage.
RW: Your website says that these are “All-day Shoes." Tell me a little about that.
CK: The design is such that you can get away wearing it all day. And injuries happen all day, not just on a run.
RW: Speaking of running, the shoes are heavier than other shoes out there. Are you working to make a more lightweight option?
CK: The carbon fiber is light. My big thing right now is getting the soles made in the U.S., and working on making a simpler design for the upper.

The way to a quilter’s heart is high-quality fabric. The strong and firm feel of cotton, the thickness of wool, the smoothness of silk, and many more. If you’re in love with great fabric, you know them and you can’t wait to use them to make those beautiful items of clothing. In recent times, manufacturers have incorporated some innovative means into the fabric making process. One of these is producing pre-cut fabrics.
A ‘pre-cut’ as the name implies is a fabric cut to particular shapes and sizes to be easily joined together by the quilter. They are produced as collections by manufacturers and they make the quilting process very easy. The most common types of pre-cut fabrics are Charm packs, Jelly rolls, Fat quarter bundles, Fat eighth bundles, and Layer cakes.
Pre-cut fabrics have a lot of advantages especially with people trying to quilt or sew for the first time. Advantages of Pre-cut fabrics include the following;
1. They save time
Normal fabric will have you visiting the fabric cutting counter to shape and size your materials for sewing. However, with pre-cut fabric, there’s no need for such. Your fabric is already shaped into what you need, so the time used to cut is now used to sew.
2. They offer Variety
Pre-cut fabrics are made into collections. In those collections, we find at least one print of various fabrics. This is a great variety and allows you to be very creative in your fabric sewing or quilting process.

If you’ve never heard of them before, Brescia Calcio are an Italian side that have been floating between Serie A and Serie B across the past 30 years.
What might jog your memory though is the incredible list of players that used to don the blue and white strip back in the day.
Brescia have won Serie B four times – most recently this season where they finished top of the pile for their first return to Serie A since 2011 – and have finished runners’ up on four separate occasions. Their longest spell in Serie A was from 2000 to 2005, a run they haven’t been able to replicate since, with just one season in the Italian top flight in total from that point.
The ‘Little Swallows’ have certainly seen some incredible players ply their trade at the Stadio Mario Rigamonti over the years, and they may finally have found the heir to Andrea Pirlo’s throne in Sandro Tonali – the prodigiously talented teenage regista.
But Pirlo isn’t the only incredible footballer to have had a stop in their career at Brescia though. There are some seriously good players here that you might not have realised played for the Italian club at one stage or another.
International caps: 125
Nicknamed the ‘Maradona of the Carpathians’ and regarded as one of the best footballers of his generation, the seven-time Romanian Player of the Year winner spent 1994-2001 between Barcelona and then Galatasaray. But before that he had two seasons at little Brescia.
Retiring at the turn of the century, Hagi has focused on a managing career at Romania, Galatasaray and, most recently, Viitorul.
International caps: 47
No, really. The Manchester City boss was a player at Brescia Calcio, not once but twice. Despite his multiple spells, he only made a string of appearances for the club, retiring from his playing career altogether just three years later.
His most notable club is Barcelona by far, making 263 appearances between 1990 and 2001, and then returning to manage the Catalans in 2008.
International caps: 56
Italian attacking midfielder Roberto Baggio’s Brescia spell was the final stop on his playing career before he retired at the end of the 2004 season.
During his spell at the Italian side, Brescia stayed in Serie A and were never relegated, with Baggio their current fourth highest all-time top scorer and top scorer in Serie A. Oh, and he’s the recipient of a Ballon d’Or. Not bad at all.

International caps: 47
Undoubtedly not a one-club player, having appeared at some 17 clubs before retiring in 2016, you’d be forgiven for forgetting that Toni made an appearance at Brescia during his career.
Brescia was one of his longest spells, playing alongside Baggio during their triumphant Serie A run. He’s scored over 300 goals in his career, 15 of which came at Brescia.
International caps: 111
Arguably the club where he ‘made it’, Marek Hamsik’s three-season spell at Brescia saw him bought by Napoli, where he stayed for 12 years before moving to China early in 2019. During his first season at Brescia as a 17-year-old debutant, Hamsik netted 10 times from just 40 appearances.
Another attacking midfielder, he’s been voted as Slovakia’s Footballer of the Year a staggering eight times.
International caps: 67
A loan move to Brescia for a single season, the Ghanaian made 31 appearances for the Italian side, scoring seven goals and doing enough to impress Juventus. After two seasons in the top flight, Appiah moved between Fenerbahce, Bologna and Cesena before retiring from football in 2012.
International caps: 22
If you remember this one, serious brownie points.
Delvecchio made just five appearances for Brescia in 2005, failing to score and moving away from the club the following season. Nothing was ever going to eclipse his 10 years and 269 appearances for Roma.
International caps: 116
Pirlo spent time at Brescia twice in his playing career; at the very start and then again on loan. His most well-known club was, of course, AC Milan where he made 284 appearances.
He also managed four Serie A titles with Juventus before hanging up his boots in 2017 after a stint with New York City.
He won the Serie B title while at Brescia in 1996/97, but it is scarcely remembered due to his success elsewhere. Italy’s fourth-most capped player of all-time; a whole load of incredible free-kicks sum up his seriously illustrious playing career. | <urn:uuid:14fc5c78-50b7-4c60-9a00-06beb537da96> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.squawka.com/en/forgotten-brescia-players/ | 2022-01-24T17:58:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304572.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124155118-20220124185118-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.971766 | 1,109 |

- The application requires a feature to store layouts and reapply them for deliveries that regularly use the same roads.
- The app needs an offline option to navigate maps, especially when the user loses data connection.
- The company recently doubled the subscription cost from $5 to $10 per month, which gained negative feedback from some old-time customers.
- Customer service is limited to email.
PlaceMaker offers route optimization and displays with various numbers of stops. You can view your stops on the map or through your navigation apps such as Google Maps, Waze, Apple Maps, Uber, and Lyft.
Downloading the PlaceMaker app is free with limited features. A premium subscription lets you see the route line on the map and reorder lists in an optimal schedule.
PlaceMaker costs $3.99/month or $31.99/year for 25 stops per route. For 150 stops, you have to pay $9.99/month or $79.99/year and $14.99/month or $119.99/year for more than 150 stops per route.

- The free version does not optimize routes and not as hands-free compared to other apps.
- Sometimes, street addresses do not show up as you approach your destination.
- Two modes of adding stops, through append and insert options, can be confusing to some users.
- Choosing between searching a location based on the address and GPS navigation coordinates can confuse some users.
- The app could use some added instructions to help users navigate the app with efficiency.
The Route app makes running errands, delivering goods, and route planning manageable for easy-to-follow multiple-stop driving directions.
You can add addresses from contacts, search from businesses, and add your current location as a destination. You can quickly email or print routes and perform turn-by-turn navigation using Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze, or other navigation apps.
Route PRO offers a monthly or yearly subscription, which lets you manage up to 200 stops per route. Route Pro costs $6.50/month or $70/year per user. You can try Route Pro free for three days.
- The app supports 200 destinations or stops per route with an unlimited number of routes.
- Copy and paste 200 addresses all at once.
- The interface displays the driving directions between each stop and the calculated way on the map.
- You can quickly drop pins on the map for new destinations.
- You can easily add previous stops to the route.
- Easily print or email directions in a calculated way.
- Some users complain of bugs in the system that send them miles off from the destination, which causes productivity issues.
- The app does not get regular updates and improved features. Developers suggest users subscribe to their latest app, Droppath, which they claim has lesser bugs.
- The app does not allow users to rename their stops and put notes on them.
- The company asks users who already bought the app to pay for a monthly subscription. Developers claim that this is necessary to offset rising server costs and prevent the app from shutting down.
The answer to “best” will always be relative. For delivery teams and drivers with tons of stops, then you’ll want an application with that feature. Other users may have other top concerns, such as saving time in navigation or traffic data.
Apple Maps is a useful GPS navigation app on the iPhone or tablet to plan a route between two locations. It is native to iOs and has some benefits. However, it is widely agreed that Google Maps is the superior of the map apps for navigation to one or more locations.
Make a Cost-effective Choice
If available, try a free trial version of the delivery route planner app before upgrading it to a premium or professional version.
While there are significant differences between free and pro versions, trying a free version familiarizes you with the user interface. You can check the drag and drop capacity, app quality on desktop and mobile devices, ease of use, integration with navigation apps, and other features the route planner app does not have that are critical to your business.
Choose a route planner app that fits your budget. When paying, choose the monthly payment option instead of the annual subscription, especially for products from startup companies and developers.
Identify what kind of end-user you will be and to what extent you will use a route planner app to increase your sales, service your customers, and boost your productivity. | <urn:uuid:2d202230-1f2e-4a4a-bfa7-1ad591195692> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.upperinc.com/blog/best-route-planner-app-for-iphone/ | 2022-01-24T17:04:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304572.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124155118-20220124185118-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.898598 | 2,853 |
Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AIWS) is named after Lewis Carroll’s novel Through the Looking Glass. In one scene, Alice eats cookies that change the size of her body, causing her to alternately be too small and too large for her environment.
Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (This condition is also known as micropsia and macropsia) describes a set of symptoms, the most common of which are:
- The sizes of parts of the body are perceived incorrectly,
- The sizes of external objects are perceived incorrectly,
- The body changing shape uniformly or just in certain parts,
- The experience of temporal disturbances,
- The sense of touch may be distorted,
- The feeling of sinking into the floor or passing through walls,
- The experience of fractured vision which looks like a complex mosaic, and
- Sounds seeming louder, softer, closer, or further than they really are.
Most reports are from children or by people later in life who experience the Alice in Wonderland symptoms and these are often at night.
The syndrome was first described in 1955 by the English psychiatrist John Todd. Todd named it, of course, for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Because the syndrome is usually associated with visual hallucinations and (usually) patients with either family members with a history of migraine headaches or themselves suffering migraines. It’s not a coincidence, therefore, to know that Lewis Carroll also suffered from severe migraine.
A psychopathological syndrome of distorted space, time and body image. The patient has a feeling that the entire body or parts of it have been altered in shape and size (metamorphosis), associated with visual hallucinations.
Alice in Wonderland syndrome is a disorienting neurological condition which affects perception. Sufferers may experience micropsia, macropsia, and/or size distortion of other sensory modalities. A temporary condition, it is often associated with migraines, brain tumors, and the use of psychoactive drugs. It can also present as the initial sign of the Epstein-Barr Virus (See mononucleosis).
Psychoanalytic interpretation by Todd has made more understandable and plausible the illusionary dreams, feeling of levitation, and alteration in the sense of passage of time that Alice experienced. Alice trod the paths and byways of a wonderland well known to Carroll, her creator, who suffered severely from migraine.
In Lippman’s report, one of the patients stated that she felt short and wide as she walked, calling this a ”tweedlike dum” or ”tweedle dee” feeling. Associated disorders may include apraxia, agnosia, language disorders, feelings of déjà vu or jamais vu, dreamlike or trancelike states, and delirium.
Similarly, The Cheshire Cat syndrome is another medical eponym taken from Alice in Wonderland. It was first described by the British physician Eric George Lapthorne Bywaters (born 1910) in 1968. | <urn:uuid:1d19f6d5-3a5e-40fb-9d3f-2bf3a18aa65c> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://appliedpsychologyresearch.blogspot.com/2010/12/alice-in-wonderland-syndrome.html | 2022-01-29T10:22:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304883.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129092458-20220129122458-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.940483 | 623 |
Pepperoni pizza. Pulled-pork sandwiches. Burgers. Bacon. These are some of the foods that I miss the most since deciding to reduce my meat consumption to virtually zero servings a week. My decision was environmentally and eco-consciously driven, but many Americans cut back meat consumption due to health concerns. The risk of red meat and processed meat consumption in cardiac disease, cancer, and overall quality of life has thoroughly pervaded the public conscience. But at the beginning of October 2019, a review was released in the Annals of Internal Medicine that recommended not changing current red or processed meat consumption. The authors concluded there is poor evidence linking red/processed meat consumption to adverse health risks, which directly contradicts years of nutrition research.
I’ve never read a lick of nutritional research in my life, but I have enough experience in reading scientific literature to attempt a summary of the review for you here. The authors integrated evidence from studies that included at least 6 months of red meat or processed meat consumption and at least 1,000 participants. They additionally took into consideration the feasibility of reducing meat consumption, the cost of meat consumption, and the personal preference of eating meat for the participants. However, they excluded environmental impact and humane animal practices into their consideration.
The evidence was evaluated with a set of guidelines the authors outlined, which included systematic review and GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) methodology. GRADE is traditionally used in rating clinical drug trials, so that recommendations can be made regarding a drug’s efficacy and safety. GRADE was not designed nor has it been used before in nutritional research. After the evidence was rated in this manner, a “low conflict-of-interest” group of experts and some public members outside of the science community made their recommendations. Their findings weren’t very conclusive; evaluation of the evidence provided little certainty in the risks associated with red meat and processed meat consumption.
The use of the word “certainty” in the article highlights the bias that the authors’ methodology introduces; it is a subjective quality. Our faith in the authors’ discernment depends on our faith in the authors themselves.
How was the group of experts and public members making the recommendation determined to be “low conflict-of-interest”? The panel was asked to disclose any financial or intellectual conflicts from within the past 3 years. Only those with none were invited to participate in the panel. But is 3 years long enough? Dr. Bradley Johnston, the head researcher of the article, has industry ties that lie just outside the 3 year window. The New York Times and the Washington Post reported on this and another author, Dr. Patrick Stover, who has similar ties to the beef industry through the Agriculture and Life Sciences (AgriLife) program at Texas A&M.
In the wake of the red meat article, prominent leaders in the field of nutrition and public health have criticized its recommendation. Prior years of nutritional research have illuminated the risk of frequent red and processed meat consumption in contracting heart disease and cancer. Some experts point to the distrust that this direct contradiction instills in scientific research, whose relationship with the public is already challenged in areas like global warming.
Environmental impact and humane animal practices were among the evidence that the panel did not take into consideration while making their recommendation. How would their recommendation change if they had considered these conditions? The evidence is staggering. Red and processed meat consumption contribute to the accumulation of greenhouse gases through animal agriculture and deforestation. Additionally, while meat consumption is rising across the globe, the stress on water availability, biodiversity, natural ecosystems, and the animals themselves increases as well. Higher demand for red meat has resulted in the sub-ideal conditions for animals that documentaries like Food Inc. have made us familiar with. Cattle, pork, and poultry often have limited access to open pasture and are fed unnatural diets with antibiotics to save money. Confronting this information was enough for me to decide to reduce meat consumption.
For many, incorporating meat into their diet is easier and cheaper than eating a plant-based diet. For those looking to reduce their carbon footprint through what they eat, I suggest purchasing poultry (cheaper) and meat alternatives (increasingly more accessible) over red meat. However, people also care about the nutritional value in their food. The rise in popularity of plant-based meat alternatives can be seen in the fast food industry. Notably, Burger King has released their Impossible Whopper within the last year, which uses an Impossible Burger patty made from soy and potato protein with the crucial ingredient of heme (the molecule attributed with “meaty” flavor). Despite whether it comes from a fast food restaurant or the meat aisle, we should still be reading the nutritional facts before congratulating ourselves on choosing the “healthy option”.
Overall, while doing my research into the red meat article controversy, my take-aways were as follows:
-A panel of experts and members of the public made a recommendation to not change current red or processed meat consumption habits based on a review of evidence that weakly points to adverse health consequences.
-Like most recommendations, this one has sources of bias despite the authors’ efforts to minimize them.
-Human nutrition research also has its own caveats, confounding factors, and complexities. Since researchers can’t control everything that a person eats in a day, we can’t expect a study to be completely accurate.
-Some of the authors have ties to trade industries. Whether those ties influenced the recommendation of the article remains uncertain.
-There are good reasons for reducing meat consumption that pertain less to the health of an individual and more to the health of an entire planet. | <urn:uuid:a3e97dfc-ff5c-493e-a739-32158809a4a2> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://sites.tufts.edu/insight/2019/12/20/the-red-meat-article-controversy-hamburgler-strikes-again/ | 2022-01-29T10:46:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304883.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129092458-20220129122458-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.963625 | 1,174 |
News: JILL HALFPENNY TO DEDICATE NEW THEATRE ROYAL GREEN ROOM TO RICHARD BRIERS

JILL HALFPENNY DEDICATES NEW THEATRE ROYAL GREEN ROOM TO RICHARD BRIERS
Award-winning actress Jill Halfpenny has led a special ceremony to officially open Newcastle Theatre Royal’s £500,000 backstage refurbishment and dedicate its new Green Room to the Theatre’s long-time Friend and first ever patron, the late Richard Briers.
Jill, who is the current Friends Patron (along with acclaimed choreographer Mathew Bourne) unveiled a special plaque in the Theatre’s famous Green Room on Wednesday 23rd December to mark the year-long refurbishment works and leave a lasting legacy to one of the world’s most treasured actors. The plaque will also recognise the major contribution made by the Friend’s committee towards the backstage refurbishment.
The Theatre began a major refurbishment of its backstage areas, including the Green Room and dressing rooms in Summer 2014. The work took a little over a year and was completed this Autumn. It is the first time the backstage area has been refurbished or decorated since 1988, when the whole Grade I listed building was redeveloped. The work is the second act in a major facelift, ‘Act One’ being the Theatre’s award winning £4.9 million auditorium restoration which took place in 2011. There has been some rebuilding work, but mostly major redecoration to drastically improve comfort, accessibility and facilities for visiting companies and their performers.
The new design specifically aims to maximise interaction between Theatre staff and the touring companies, something which was inhibited by the old layout. The Stage Door entrance has been opened up to allow those in the waiting area to get a greater sense of the theatrical operation beyond the secure doors, and the communal spaces are now much more comfortable, relaxing and inclusive of the latest technology. The Green Room features an ‘astro-turf’ carpet, table football and a smart kitchenette.
An acclaimed actor of stage and screen, Richard Briers was the Theatre Royal Friends Patron from 2008 until his death in February 2013. Briers’ cited Newcastle Theatre Royal as his favourite theatre, and his love affair with it lasted over fifty years – both returning to perform time and again and supporting and encouraging a wide range of fundraising campaigns. Richard and his wife Annie’s last visit to the Theatre Royal was at the opening of The Madness of George III when they were able to see the newly restored auditorium in all its glory.
As well as being their Patron, Briers was a great supporter of the Theatre’s Friends committee, and encouraged all their projects, the latest of which raised an impressive contribution of £7,000 towards the backstage work.

I finally saw Disney’s Christopher Robin, and it did exactly what I hoped it would do. It did not bog me down in “but’s” or “on-the-other-hand’s.” Adults get too wrapped up in the importance of their work and forget what they are actually supposed to be working for: the means to make the rest of their living possible. So in honor of a lesson well-taught and well-taken, I give you a post about laughing and playing, with no other purpose at all.
First, I have posted this before, but it is my go-to when I need to laugh or make someone feel better. I dare you not to laugh….
That one led me to the E-trade baby ads. Remember those? here is one of my favorites:
“This is my shocked face!” Hysterical!
Okay, so now you’ve laughed, and that’s nice, but you haven’t actually played. This is the recommendation that will make you HATE me. I have been known to lose track of time and stagger into bed after midnight on a school-night because of Sporcle. Try it out at Sporcle.com. It is trivia, yes, and you know that I am a wealth of trivial information. But this sight has something for everyone, I promise.
I have you hooked, don’t I?
Now a more serious suggestion. It is no secret that I love life and have a lot of fun with lots of different things. Here are some ways I find to fit fun into my everyday life:
- Trying to set speed records for shelving books, competing against myself.
- Seeing how fast I can peel a potato. My best time was 18 secs.
- Making meal plans thematically. For example, International week: Italian one night, Chinese another, French, etc. Another is American classics week: burgers and french fries one night, meatloaf another, tuna casserole, etc.
- Wii Fit for exercise. That is really fun!
- Eating my peanut butter sandwich or English muffin on fine china. It’s not too much work to wash one plate.
- Googling…or Yahooing or whatever browser you use…”The Most Beautiful Places on Earth. I made a slideshow that I watch from time to time just to *sigh* at the wondrous places there are. Even if I’ll never get to them in person, it lifts my spirits to know such places exist.
- Write romance novels about time travel and Christmas magic, although that may be a bit more of a commitment than you can make.
The sky’s the limit if you make the time for it, even if it’s just a little time. Life is supposed to be wonderful, all the time, every day. We are working to live, not living to work.
Unless, of course, your job is lots of fun. Then do that. | <urn:uuid:15dd0537-6524-4f62-9419-6a701c64568e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://bethwarstadt.com/2018/09/30/laugh-play/ | 2022-01-29T10:07:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304883.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129092458-20220129122458-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.950387 | 642 |
Whether it’s jam, coffee or pickles, those empty glass jars soon mount up. And yes, you could put them in the recycling bin so they get made into something new, but with a little imagination and not very much skill you could turn them into something useful yourself.
There are dozens of uses for empty jars to suit every household – here are just a few of them. Just remember, whatever you plan to do with them, to clean the empty jars thoroughly first, and remove any labels.
One of the most obvious uses for empty jars is of course storage. If you’re an adventurous cook, you could even try making your very own jam, marmalade or pickles – you’ll save yourself a small fortune on groceries if you do, and have fun at the same time. According to BBC Good Food, you need to sterilise and warm your jars before using them.
Remaining in the kitchen, you could use your jars to store a plethora of foodstuffs, such as herbs and spices, rice and lentils. Having ingredients in small jars sometimes makes it easier to access them. Jars also make great stylish glasses for summer drinks such as milkshakes and cocktails – you may want to use a straw, though.
Moving into the bathroom, why not put small make-up items, bath salts or cotton wool balls in jars? You can decorate them so they fit in with your décor.
In the office, use jars to store equipment such as elastic bands and paperclips; and crafty types can fill them with materials such as pens and pencils, paintbrushes, beads and other crafty stuff.
In the garage, use empty jars to store odds and ends such as screws, nuts and bolts. Placed on your garage shelving, such as that available at garage shelving equipment, they’ll always be ready when you need them.
Glass jars can also be decorated to make a whole host of ornaments, such as photo frames, lamps, and floating candles – simply fill them with water, add a floating tea light and hang them from your garden fence, or put several together in groups around the house. Or fill them with glitter, pretty pebbles or coloured sand and use them for gifts – alternatively, fill them with homemade sweets, biscuits or chocolates, before adding a pretty bow. | <urn:uuid:8c071b35-4fbb-40cc-bcbe-c8eac6e21a7e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://blog-collector.org/2017/07/10/great-ideas-for-empty-jars/ | 2022-01-29T10:56:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304883.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129092458-20220129122458-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.950243 | 496 |
There are a myriad number of three-letter acronyms in the business and customer service world, so we're defining one of them in under 300 words: service qualified lead, or SQL.
SQL can also refer to "sales qualified lead," orthose leads that your sales team has accepted as ready for a direct sales follow-up. This qualificationwill help your sales and marketing teams stay on the same page in terms of the quality and volume of leads that you are handing over to your sales team. You can learn more about sales qualificationin this guide.
Meanwhile, read on for the definition of this new customer service term we've started using here at HubSpot.
What is a service qualified lead (SQL)?
A service qualified lead, or SQL, is a customer who has indicated to a customer service team member that they're ready for a conversation with a sales rep about new products or services.
What Is a Service Qualified Lead?
Service qualified leads provide additional value to customers by helping them see more success as they evolve using a company's product or service with the help of additional upgrades. SQLs can also lower the cost of customer acquisition (CAC) and increase customer lifetime value (LTV) by retaining customers longer and encouraging them to buy more products that help them derive more value over time.
Customer service reps have a big opportunity to impact their organization's bottom line by identifying SQLs and re-connecting them with a sales rep to identify possible upsell and cross-sell opportunities. Make sure to actively listen to your customers for signals they have a need that can be solved with your product or service and could benefit from talking to a sales rep.

This time of year Jesse Mcdonald is usually set up at the Ekka selling Dagwood dogs, but Covid-19 has canceled the annual show.
With nowhere to go and no other way to pay the bills, the vendor has parked his food truck on his property at Doolandella and is selling Dagwood Dogs on Blunder Road.
“I’ve actually given work to another family who is out of work in the same industry. I’ve employed one of their employees and that’s keeping them going as well.” Mr McDonald told the ABC.
But the Roadside setup has been met with backlash from the Brisbane City Council which is threatening to fine Mr McDonald if he doesn’t shut up shop.
BCC told the Dagwood Dog Vendor setting up next to a road is a safety issue and he can’t operate on residential land.
Council also offered for him to move to a nearby park but Mr Macdonald said that location isn’t viable and instead he wanted to move his stall further back onto his property and away from the road.
“We thought that ticked all the boxes that they asked of us” Mr Macdonald said.
In an online survey posted on the Labor for Brisbane Facebook page, the vendor received a massive showing of support from the community.
In Just 24 hours more than 2,000 people voted for the Lord Mayor to let Mr McDonald keep operating, just 7 people voted against the idea.
“Let them stay or find a way for them to keep selling their delicious hot dogs,” Atilua Tupi commented.
“They’re just a small business trying to pay their bills. Let him operate. They are bringing joy to so many in such unusual and difficult times,” Vicki Pratt wrote.
“My belly fully supports the Dagwood Dog Guy,” Sonia Cvetkovic stated.
With the community behind him Mr McDonald vows to keep operating and the council is yet to issue him an infringement notice.

Carrera is known the world over as a star eyewear brand, iconic for its bold and retro styles. The origins of their famous pilot-shaped sunglasses began back in 1956 in Austria by Wilhelm Anger. He was inspired by automotive racing and created the brand to be paired with sportswear. The brand offers obvious calm and cool, very much like the nerve necessary for driving at top speeds.
The Carrera sunglasses and their pilot frame is iconic and primarily known for its plastic material. The frames are made using a specific plastics technique, a pioneered material Optyl®. It was patented by Anger in 1964 and is known for being incredibly durable and 20% lighter than other plastics used in the industry at the time. The material still holds up today as one of the lightest materials on the market. The resin allows for elasticity and impressive stability, the frames are able to adapt to the face of the wearer and have a “memory effect”. Today this material is used ubiquitously in the luxury and high-end sunglasses industry, with most and nearly all using the material.
The allure of the Carrera brand and their Optyl® material has allowed them to climb to notoriety in the sports world. They partnered with Porsche and launched numerous collaborative collections. In the ‘70s the brand branched out to athletic eyewear, specifically goggles for snowsports. The brand has been spotted in arenas around the globe and seen at the Winter Olympic Games. The magic sauce of Carrera eyewear is their athletic and modern-futuristic designs.
Their pilot shapes are stunning and hold true to the brand’s origins. They offer up a retro and historical feel but maintain the push for modern ingenuity and design. You can spot these frames on many famous faces around the globe, not just your favorite athletes. The brand has been taken under the wing of the Italian eyewear company Salfio, producing and distributing the brand we all have grown to love.
The origins of pilot frames date back to aviation when pilots needed tinted lenses to block extreme light and glare during flight. The shape today is heavily loved and is very fashionable on most face types and shapes. The Carrera reinvented the pilot look and adapted it to modern tastes and athletic bodies. Adding flares of red and black, featuring their now-famous gradient tints. One of their most iconic shapes is their double-barred pilot shape.

From CFO Daily News: Now’s a good time to check in and assess your finance staffers’ job satisfaction. Because about one in four employees plans to look for a new job after the pandemic.
That’s according to Prudential Financial’s Pulse of the American Worker Survey.
The post-pandemic perspective
So why do so many people want to jump ship?
Many are worried about their career advancement (80%) or say COVID-19 made them rethink their skill sets (72%). And what are they looking for going forward? More flexibility, the survey says.
It’s what The New York Times has coined the “YOLO (You Only Live Once) Economy.” Staffers are burned out from the old and ready for the new.
So check in with your staff.
You’ll probably want to budget for some additional professional development in 2022. But for the short term, there’s another option: burst training.
HIIT training for your team so they don’t want a new job
You may be familiar with burst training in the gym, aka HIIT training. Consider adopting something similar for your finance and accounting team.
- Keep it even shorter than you think you should. Fact: Most learners won’t watch a video that’s longer than four minutes. So even the 5-7 minute training sessions that burst learning experts encourage could be too long.
- Provide boosts. A mere nine hours after learning something, folks can recall just 30% of what they’ve been taught. So you’ll want to reinforce and remind them with periodic mini-bursts. Nothing elaborate – offer a few questions that will prompt folks to remember what they’d learned. A goal: Send four of these in the two weeks after a training session.
- Offer apps for later. When unexpected problems or issues come up later, the vast majority of people jump on their smartphones for answers. Why not provide them with apps that can complement their training so you know they’re getting info from reliable sources? | <urn:uuid:70a77835-d0da-4a6b-b7a1-b3694f0380f1> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://cfotalks.com/1-in-4-employees-plans-to-look-for-a-new-job-will-finance-be-impacted/ | 2022-01-29T09:30:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304883.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129092458-20220129122458-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.939756 | 440 |
(Welcome to …And More, our no-frills, zero B.S. guide to when and where you can watch upcoming movies and shows, and everything else you could possibly stand to know.)
A comedy about counterfeit coupons is on the way, which doesn’t sound real or thrilling, but actually has the makings of an entertaining ride. The release of Queenpins is quickly approaching and if you’re in need of more info on the film, look no further than this guide. Below is everything you need to know about the upcoming release of Queenpins.
Queenpins Release Date and Where You Can Watch It
Queenpins is just a few months away, opening in theaters on September 10 across the US. It’s already been acquired for streaming by Paramount+ and is expected to hit the service soon after its theatrical run.
What is Queenpins?
Queenpins is a comedy-crime thriller, inspired by the true story of two housewives who created a $40 million dollar couponing scam. With bills piling up, and their frustration growing, two friends find that they’re struggling to make ends meet even when it comes to basic necessities like groceries. At first, they turn to couponing to feed themselves and their families — but they soon realize that with a dash of sneaky and a sprinkle of crime, coupons might be a way to make money. Much more of it than you’d think.
Their scheme quickly blows up into a criminal enterprise and well, we’ve got a movie.
It makes for a surprisingly thrilling premise, as the two friends attempt to rack up cash while being pursued by a postal inspector and supermarket loss prevention officer. It’s not exactly a top-tier crime, but they manage to make millions off of their scheme, so it’s no surprise that they catch someone’s attention. The film traces their story and that of the team on their trail.
Kristen Bell, who seems so genuinely kind off-camera, makes an amazing onscreen criminal. Just like her role on The Good Place, Bell stars as another schemer, playing suburban housewife Connie Kaminiski in the film. Connie hatches the counterfeit coupon plan with her best friend JoJo Johnson, portrayed by Killing Eve’s Kirby Howell-Baptiste. This won’t be the pair’s first time working together, as Howell-Baptise joined Bell for the Veronica Mars revival back in 2019 and also starred in a few seasons of The Good Place.
They’ll be up against Vince Vaughn and Paul Walter Hauser, but have no fear, the two women also have pop star Bebe Rexha on their side, helping them in their criminal pursuits.
The film also stars Community actor Joel McHale and Dayo Okeniyi, who you might recognize from The Hunger Games or last year’s Run Sweetheart Run.
Other cast members include Nick Cassavetes, Michael Masisni, Eduardo Franco, Paul Rust, Marc Evan Jackson, Lidia Porto, Greta Oglesby, Jack McBrayer, Annie Mumolo, and Stephen Root.
Here’s the synopsis for Queenpins:
Inspired by a true story, Queenpins is an outrageous comedy about a bored and frustrated suburban homemaker, Connie (Kristen Bell) and her best pal JoJo (Kirby Howell-Baptiste), a vlogger with dreams, who turn a hobby into a multi-million dollar counterfeit coupon caper. After firing off a letter to the conglomerate behind a box of cereal gone stale, and receiving an apology along with dozens of freebies, the duo hatch an illegal coupon club scheme that scams millions from mega-corporations and delivers deals to legions of fellow coupon clippers. On the trail to total coupon dominance, a hapless Loss Prevention Officer (Paul Walter Hauser) from the local supermarket chain joins forces with a determined U.S. Postal Inspector (Vince Vaughn) in hot pursuit of these newly-minted “Queenpins” of pink collar crime.
Queenpins Director, Crew, and More
Queenpins comes from STXFilms, the studio behind the critically acclaimed crime-drama Hustlers. It’s written and directed by husband and wife filmmaking duo Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly, the minds behind the 2013 drama, Beneath The Harvest Sky. Ben Stiller serves as executive producer for the film, under the banner of his production company Red Hour Productions. The film is also produced by Linda McDonough and Nicky Weinstock.

Beauty e-services apps in high demand in Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Abu Dhabi
The Middle East has seen sudden growth in the salon booking e-services market, with three consumer apps having launched within the region in the last year.
BEEM, short for ‘Beauty Emergency’, bills itself as Dubai's first home-grown salon booking app and was released in 2015 by founder Samantha Hamilton-Rushforth. A former women's magazine beauty editor, Hamilton-Rushforth's team spent nine months working on the concept, with areas of research including female digital habits and preferences for in-app icon placement, before its Dubai debut....

Math Literacy in English Across Disciplines: Professional Enhancement for teachers and school professionals.
Findings from studies conducted by practicing educators guided by Neag Faculty (Rojas, PI and Reyes, Co-PI) funded by the U.S. Department of Education for professional development and enhancement support integrating math vocabulary across disciplines. Research conducted by practitioners reinforces the importance of creating access to high level math classes for ALL students (Rojas 2010).

There are many places in the world where you can watch a magnificent sunset, but if you want to be surrounded by beautiful beaches, beautiful people, trendy pubs, and award-winning eateries, there is one place that stands out above the rest, and that is Camps Bay in Cape Town, South Africa.
One of Cape Town’s most affluent areas, Camps Bay is bursting with million dollar properties, Lamborghinis, and perfect bodies that have been nipped and tucked to perfection, but fortunately, you don’t have to be a millionaire to enjoy it! The bars and restaurants are reasonably priced, the atmosphere is laidback and friendly, and the sunsets over the deep blue Atlantic Ocean are simply spectacular.
While Camps Bay is busy throughout the day, it comes alive at around 5pm when both travellers and local residents flock to the many seaside bars for sundowners, and street entertainers seem to appear out of nowhere to perform their impromptu shows.
I can’t think of any place on earth where I would rather watch the sunset, which looks something like this… | <urn:uuid:b75bad7b-9180-41ed-b459-440c829f669d> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://equatours.me/2016/04/24/sundowners-sunsets-at-camps-bay-beach-south-africa/ | 2022-01-29T09:56:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304883.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129092458-20220129122458-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.953861 | 227 |

ADDIS ABABA, 30 March 2015,-/African Media Agency (AMA)/- The ECA Country Profiles – set to become key data and forecasting tools for Africa – were launched at the 8th Joint Annual Meetings of the African Union Specialised Technical Committee on Finance, Monetary Affairs, Economic Planning and Integration and the ECA Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development in Addis Ababa. Five pilot profiles were presented, covering Botswana, Cameroon, Kenya, Morocco and Nigeria. These reports will help countries to focus their energies on macro-economic and social policies that will help them achieve structural transformation in Africa. The profiles provide a diversity of stakeholders, including governments, investors, partners, academics, analysts and civil society representatives, with a high quality, alternative source of data.
Speaking at the launch, ECA Deputy Executive Secretary Mr Abdalla Hamdock, said, "Africa must be in position to tell its own story, but it won't be able to do so if it doesn't have the relevant data to tell this story. The ECA country profiles will assist member states to take control of their own narratives. This also places them in a better position to take evidence-based decisions."
Tailored to the needs of African countries
The ECA Country Profiles will make it possible to evaluate the macroeconomic and social performances and potential risks facing African countries on a regular basis. They also provide high level practical and strategic recommendations. The reports will be produced in partnership with various African national authorities, including central banks, statistics authorities and research centres.
Ms Karima Bounemra Ben Soltane, Director of the ECA North Africa Office, said, "We consider Country Profiles as a major contribution to the Data Revolution. Unlike other Country Profiles, the information provided in the ECA documents is not a static series of country overviews, but rather a development analysis, conducted in interaction with member states."
As a unique product specifically tailored to the needs of African countries, the ECA Country Profiles cover themes such as employment, natural resources, agriculture, climate change and the green economy, and focus on national and regional priorities such as Agenda 2063 and the Continental Free Trade Area. Other key characteristics include the inclusion of the ECA indexes that were launched as part of the Data Revolution Workshop, such as the African Social Development Index, the African Gender Index and the Regional Integration Index.
A powerful tool to put Africa first
While country profiles can become powerful tools for the promotion of national and African growth, their success will depend on the support of each country.
"We support the African narrative, and in doing it well. Our facts and figures will prove this message: these will not be ordinary country profiles, they will always put Africa first", explained Mr Antonio Pedro, Director of the ECA Office for East Africa. Mr Pedro stressed, however, that securing reliable data across the continent is not always easy.
"This tool is needed all the more, since sustaining Africa's current impressive growth will require continuous vigilance and assertiveness through elements such as the Country Profiles we are launching today", concluded, Mr Hamdock.
ECA regional directors for West, Central and Austral Africa, Dimitri Sanga, Emile Adohe and Said Adejumobi also attended the launch.
Other key points discussed at the event included the ECA's plans to give priority to national data, the role of country profiles in supporting structural transformation and increasing data collection capacity in member countries.

One 12 June, I had the privilege of a one-on-one interview in Canberra with the Indian High Commssioner, Dr AM Gondane. Here is the first of a series of short extracts from that interview:
Dr Gondane: “Australian tariff rates are low and ours are at a higher level. There are differences and we know that Australia is a very open economy. It is natural for Australia to desire Indian tariffs to match the Australian model, but this will take time. We have actually made a lot of progress and opened more than 90% of our tariff lines for restarting the negotiations.
“There are some sticking points, but I think, with careful negotiation and goodwill, the free trade agreement could be reached. Because India’s tariffs are higher it will naturally take longer to get them down.
“Both Australia and India are negotiating the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) forum (meeting in Melbourne this week) which could be another avenue for increased trade.
“The RCEP provides good scope for commonality and the opening up of India and Australia economies – both are active in the RCEP,” the High Commissioner said.
The 15 Member countries of RCEP are Australia, India, China, Japan, Republic of Korea, Singapore, New Zealand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, Philippines. They are meeting in Melbourne this week.
Dr Gondane concluded with a wide ranging comment about the Indian Ocean region and pointed to Prime Minister Modi’s vision for the Indo-Pacific:
“The period of doubling of Indian economy has reduced and we can reach US $ 5 trillion within the next few years. We are already the fifth largest economy in nominal terms and third largest in purchasing power parity. That is why the Indian Prime Minister has elaborated on what is our conception of the Indo-Pacific. Australia is an important partner in the Indian Ocean. These two powers will be of great consequence in the next twenty years.” | <urn:uuid:d33df8fe-23d2-4128-887b-072d5a588ce4> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://intoindia.blog/2019/06/ | 2022-01-29T11:10:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304883.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129092458-20220129122458-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.948718 | 422 |
How EdgeVerve aims to redefine the contact centre experience
FYI, this story is more than a year old
EdgeVerve Systems, a subsidiary of Infosys announced the launch of AssistEdge. AssistEdge Engage is an intelligent automation platform for contact centres offering smart features that increase agent productivity, satisfaction and elevate the customer experience.
With the emergence of RPA and maturity of AI capabilities, there is a significant opportunity for contact centres to relook at the ways in which they can service their customers. Easy to integrate and deploy, AssistEdge Engage harnesses the power of AI and RPA, making it possible for businesses to amplify returns from their existing contact centre investments.
According to CCW Digital research, only 18% of customers are 'very satisfied' with their typical customer service experiences. An enormous opportunity exists for organisations to reduce effort, increase personalisation and deliver value.
AssistEdge Engage integrates assisted and unassisted automation capabilities and comes with a proven track record of having delivered increased first call resolution by up to 15%, minimised operational costs by 30% resulting in an increase in net promoter score of 8%.
"If there's one word to describe the typical agent experience, it's 'difficult'," adds CCW Digital Principal Analyst Brian Cantor.
"More than 80% of companies require agents to access multiple systems when supporting customers; about half provide agents with little-to-no context about customers escalating from other channels.”
“EdgeVerve's AssistEdge Engage has the right combination of features to help contact centres eliminate complexity and provide agents with real-time, actionable guidance, thereby improving agent productivity and in turn, customer satisfaction."
Infosys SVP Atul Soneja says, "In today's market, customer expectations from brands and service providers have increased manifold.
“It is imperative for organisations to own and retain customers by providing superior experience across all touch points. Contact centres continue to face challenges in delivering exceptional customer experience due to a myriad of applications which they need to access to pull out customer information.”
“AssistEdge Engage provides a refreshed 360-degree view of the customer to enable the agent to engage better thereby resulting in an increase in customer satisfaction." | <urn:uuid:ee0c3cba-b2c0-4a88-8e4b-5964a8ef1949> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://itbrief.co.nz/story/how-edgeverve-aims-to-redefine-the-contact-centre-experience | 2022-01-29T11:02:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304883.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129092458-20220129122458-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.912305 | 461 |
Easy Cacio e Pepe recipe, a simple Roman dish meaning cheese and pepper, which is pretty much all I need in life! This easy Italian pasta dish comes together in just 20 minutes, making it perfect for a family weeknight meal.
Made with just five ingredients, the simplicity of this dish is perfection!
Cacio e Pepe is a simple Italian pasta that means cheese and pepper. Little else is needed to make this dish outstanding, so of course we choose those two ingredients wisely.
This recipe is so creamy, similar to an alfredo, but in my opinion, a little more refined and flavorful. Say goodbye to garlic and hello to Grana Padano, my personal favorite. Pecorino or parmesan also work well.
Sometimes, I just need a great plate of pasta to complete my day. Pasta is my comfort food. It reminds me of my childhood and eases me into the evening. For me, not much compares. You can have your fried chicken, casseroles and pot pies, but for me, pasta is where it’s at.
The girls love when I make Cacio e Pepe. The first time I made it for them, I was prepared for a fight. I thought they’d see the pretty little black specks and melt down in tears. They loved it and consider it a special treat (as do I).
This pasta doesn’t need any accompaniments, it’s just so perfect by itself
What is cacio e pepe?
In Italian, cacio e pepe translates directly to “cheese and pepper”. A centuries-old staple in Roman cuisine, it’s an incredibly simple dish made with a long, slender pasta and lots of spicy pepper and fresh cheese.
Unlike alfredo, there’s no cheesy sauce requiring decadent heavy cream. In this dish, simplicity truly shines, and every ingredient matters. It’s so simple that it’s hard to believe it could taste so good!
Cacio e Pepe Ingredients
- Pasta – Tonnarelli is the traditional pasta to use in this authentic recipe, but spaghetti is easily available. Bucatini and shells also pair well with this dish. Make homemade pasta, fresh or boxed.
- Butter – Salted butter is my go to for this pasta dish, but you can use unsalted if you prefer. If you use unsalted, you may want to add a pinch of salt to the melted butter.
- Black Pepper – Thick flakes of black pepper add immense flavor to this simple dish. Use freshly ground or coarsely ground pepper.
- Cheese – Grana Padano and Pecorino – the cheeses are interchangeable, you can use one or both. Grate the cheese finely so that it melts quickly and easily into the pasta.
- Add a little squeeze of lemon for a lemon cacio e pepe. I recommend 1-2 tablespoons for a nice lemony flavor.
- Try this recipe with Browned Butter. Such an easy extra step that adds an incredible layer of flavor.
- Add a handful of fresh herbs for even more vibrant fragrance. Oregano, rosemary and thyme would all be beautiful here.
- Add a protein, like my favorite Baked Chicken.
How to Make Easy Cacio e Pepe
- Prepare Pasta – Boil pasta, drain and reserve ½ cup pasta water.
- Prepare Sauce – In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add pepper and swirl to toast.
- Toss – Reduce heat to low. Add pasta and pasta water. Toss to coat. Toss with Grana Padano.
- Add Cheese – Remove from heat and toss with Pecorino.
- Go with a store bought box pasta instead of making your own if you’re on a time crunch.
- Grate your cheese earlier in the day to make a quick dinner in a hurry!
Scaling up, down or substituting? You’ll love this printable Measurement Conversion Chart!
- Prepare pasta al dente. It will continue to cook once it has drained, and again when it is added to the butter. No one likes soggy spaghetti!
- Grate your own cheese. I can’t stress this enough! In a dish this simple, the quality of your ingredients will matter so much. Buy a high quality cheese and grate it yourself for the best creamy melt.
- Melt the butter on a medium heat so that it doesn’t burn. It should melt, but not bubble.
- Save a little of your pasta water. The starch that remains in the water helps create a warm, creamy sauce in this dish.
What goes well with cacio e pepe? So many things.
- A side of Roasted Italian Veggies
- My most popular Italian Salad
- 5 minute Garlic Bread
- Roasted Mushrooms
- A kid-friendly side of the most delicious candied carrots
- Green Beans
- Or go all out with some homemade bread and dipping spices
Use a finely shredded cheese, and grate it yourself. Nothing can replace freshly grated cheese! In fact, many pre-packaged grated cheese blends are coated with a substance that prevents them from sticking, also preventing them from melting appropriately.
This pasta dish can be enjoyed with any type of wine! Try a cold and light white wine with cacio e pepe for a delicious lunch – something with a little acidity to help balanced out the creaminess. A Sangiovese is perfect and a chenin blanc will also work well. If you prefer red wine, a rich cabernet sauvignon will work well to balance the fragrant cheese.
How to Store
- Room Temperature – Don’t leave out more than two hours.
- Refrigerate – Store in an airtight container up to three days refrigerated. Add a touch of heavy cream or milk to reheat.
- Freeze – Store in an airtight container up to three months in the freezer. Transfer to refrigerator to thaw before reheating.
- Nut Free

On reading Durga Lal Shrestha as a family by candlelight
In an admittedly unpractical way, I sometimes wish for the absolute darkness imposed by routine power cuts. There is something fascinating about entire communities being plunged into the slow, deliberate rhythm of a dimly-lit world.
A Postcard from Paltan Ghar
At face value, the Paltan Ghar in Asan is one more intriguing historical building in the Valley that is in dire want of upkeep.
Stand up and be counted
A teenager in a floral Kimono has been rolling hand-rolled cigarettes in boredom; a man in a knock-off Belgium jersey has been finagling with the overwhelmed, solitary waiter about the beer options. A cloud of smoke hangs heavy over the ceiling, pregnant with expectation.
The weight of history
Kathmandu is perched on shaky ground; and its residents know it. Over the past millennia of recorded history, dozens of earthquakes—of varying magnitudes—have rumbled through the Valley, often leaving widespread casualties and destruction in their wake. But with each calamity, Kathmandu’s residents have stepped up to the plate, picked up the broken pieces and restored what was lost—its stunning architectural marvels renewed and passed on to the next generation for upkeep.
It is nearly 5 pm and the cloistered neighbourhood of Nhaikantala in Asan feels exhausted from a hectic day of shoppers streaming in and out of its jewellery and electronic stores.
A star reborn
At one point during her TEDx talk delivered in Jaipur, actor Manisha Koirala gives out this sagacious advice: “We have a choice—we can either be consumed by our problems, become a victim and be defined by that problem, or we can turn it around into a platform for our growth.
A city that remembers
For a man considered to be one of the most famous early missionaries to travel to Asia and the first European to have truly penetrated the Tibetan language and culture, Ippolito Desideri was largely unimpressed with Kathmandu.
Cement use in Jaya Bageshwori restoration draws criticism
In yet another misstep in the reconstruction of heritage sites damaged by 2015 Gorkha Earthquakes, use of cement in the rebuilding of the historic Jaya Bageshwori Temple in Pashupati has drawn a widespread criticism from locals and heritage conservationists.
The Tragedy at Tundikhel
There are those that describe Tundikhel as Kathmandu’s lungs. In a city that is swallowing itself whole, Tundikhel is one of the last surviving large public spaces in its inner core.
The tussle for Kasthamandap
At their small office overlooking Kasthamandap, a group of young volunteers for the Campaign to Rebuild Kasthamandap are huddled in a circle, discussing the flurry of events that have taken place at the seventh century monument this week.
By the time I huff and haul my way up Swoyambhu, the Gyanmala Bhajan Khaala is just about wrapping up their morning session.
Lest we forget
Last week, following a characteristically long, and occasionally barbed, tirade by KP Sharma Oli and a conspicuously short cameo by Sher Bahadur Deuba in the Parliament, Pushpa Kamal Dahal walked up to the pulpit and began his speech by admitting he was unsure about how long his own address should be, given the two starkly different precedents.
The death of a myth
I know you remember that morning as vividly as I do. It was my fourteenth birthday and I woke up to the horror of my dad standing over my bed, whispering, “Jyanmara le sabbai lai sidhyayo.” That murderer finished them all.
Bungdyo’s indecent proposal
Why Patan has just one chariot festival might not be a question that has tickled your fancy before. Yet, once stirred, why the City of Arts has just the elaborate festival for the Bungdyo is not a question that is easily shaken off.
From the margins to centre stage

For a relationship to get rid of in a proper style, both parties must certanly be engaging or else you might be injuring the other. Hence whether you are prepared or maybe not, it’s adviseable to make an effort to find out if your partner is in a position at the moment.
Essentially, when your spouse or spouse is not prepared to stop the relationship therefore put it to his or her look, this is damaging as well as most all cases will burn up one that is definitely injure and may eventually make them take action drastic that you may be sorry for your entire daily life.
2. understand correct time and second:
Usually, you just want to determine him/her about it at any time or any time you think it is actually appropriate. It is actually a poor choice to need to speak about closing your own romance at a celebration, cultural meeting, in the vehicle or doing a bit of residential task along particularly trips to market or while sporting a fantastic dinner with each other.
He/She will be stuck off-guard along with being surprised, resulting in the instant are destroyed. It is not important if or the method that you bust the news headlines, it needs to be complete at best minute and at ideal moments.
There exists never will be an excellent time to separation with somebody , but make sure to get all control of time as you’re able to, rather than blurting out over brunch with pals.
3. start in Person:
Close their union is generally an unpleasant course for both person. Nearly all people would want to push the connection to a detailed through phone calls, sending text messages even using e-mail but this really is completely completely wrong, although accomplishing this means it’s not essential to check out the manifestation on his or her face and in case it really is by words, a person don’t actually have to dialogue.
Nevertheless the situation is, this certainly not an approach to finish off an intimate commitment peacefully. This approach defeats the entire heart and soul of having the ideal and dignified end in your commitment peacefully. To accomplish it suitable, you should do it in-person.
4. Be honest and genuine:
Becoming available and honest concerning the cause for finishing the partnership is a very important practice. The other event may quote multiple reasons exactly why the connection should carry on and may even check out talking an individual away from your determination.
It is very important, however, to stay straightforward regarding your feelings toward one other event as well as your cause for seeking to eliminate the relationship. Regularly be sincere, whatever the long-lasting outcome as you will likely be much better capable of being at peace really investment.
5. You should never skip before splitting up.
Most lovers who would like to ending a relationship avoid their lover and long distance on their own with foolish reasons. Take into account that your husband or wife should realize what’s happening in mind and has now every right to understand fact regarding the attitude. You may reveal your very own perspective that you’re not happy inside union, nevertheless you must not neglect your very own partner’s calls or stay away personally.
On occasion, it could only be a stage or a misconception that produced all differences. Before you decide to you should think about close the relationship, provide it with time to see if you both can greater your own connection and work out it function for starters.
6. halt the Blames and Accusations:
Many times, breakups might end up being one-sided or shared dependent celebrations concerned. If you are close your very own romance based on mutual accord or on choice, there is absolutely no need to cast blames or allegations at each some other. Throwing-in accusations often produces problems in addition to trigger the split not to end on an effective note.
Celebrations find yourself leaving the partnership nasty and resentful toward 1 despite the good encounters they can have experienced along. Each should alternatively come to terms with the fact he/she is certainly not best and helped in the separation in some way.
7. discuss they: “the conversation”:
Reported on Paulo Coelho “It is definitely vital that you see any time things has already reached its close.& Closure sectors, closing entrances, finishing chapters, it doesn’t make a difference that which we call-it when this occurs in a connection, it is recommended crucial that you still do it by writing about it”.
As it is usually stated, communication in a relationship is key if you wish to secure either https://datingranking.net/lumen-dating-review/ an effective relationship/happy ending or the right union peacefully.
8. Carrying Out the Explanation:
For the aforementioned trick, most people talked about the discussion and communications period. I really believe you might want to consult “what can there be to discuss?” Perfectly found in this hint, it’s the level of answer. In the event you want to breakup employing the one you’re keen on and finalize they suitably, you need inside break up with details and information such that it leads to a proper closing.
A pause upwards hurts normally, nevertheless, you can tell your lover how you feel. Give an explanation for actual cause of precisely why want to conclude the connection, but try to avoid infuriate your husband or wife by discussing sensitive troubles. You’re searching split up using one you like, and you should learn to do so accordingly without selecting issues. | <urn:uuid:f5b114ce-f1ec-41f1-9898-fad04f172925> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://larecre.org/2021/08/30/how-do-i-end-my-relationship-peacefully-without-2/ | 2022-01-29T09:52:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304883.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129092458-20220129122458-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.955432 | 1,369 |

I always find it fascinating to observe conversations in which people's arguments fail to convince each other. A few days ago we witnessed some PHP debates, kicked off by Jeff Attwood.
I foolishly got slightly involved on one ‘rebuttal’. At church last Sunday I also chatted with a friend who has used PHP and likes it, and this time I tried to put myself in his shoes. It is often much more helpful talking to people in the flesh, and I think it is always enlightening to look at why we fail to convince.
One reason we can't rule out is simple irrationality. All of us are vulnerable to confirmation bias, and people will often go to great lengths to convince themselves that they are doing the right thing and do not need to change their views or practices. You see this all the time when two groups of people share experiences after having made different decisions about how to spend some leisure time. Both groups are often desperate to believe that they haven't missed out, and will seek to persuade each other (but in reality, persuade themselves) that they were in the group that had the most fun.
However, just assuming the other person is being irrational doesn't really help you, and can in fact hinder communication. Below I will attempt to be more constructive in looking at the ways we can fail to convince people. I'll try not to turn it into a rebuttal to the “PHP isn't so bad” posts!
In his great rant PHP: a fractal of bad design, ‘Eevee’ has lots of great arguments against PHP, and there were others in different posts. But there are reasons why some will fail to hit home. (This is not a criticism, by the way — many of these problems are unavoidable if you are addressing an audience as mixed as “all the PHP developers in the world”).
empty($var) is so extremely not-a-function that anything but a variable, e.g. empty($var || $var2), is a parse error. Why on Earth does the parser need to know about empty?
To an experienced programmer,
empty()is rather surprising. If you know — or at least have some idea — about how to implement a programming language, you'll understand terminology like lexer, parser, interpreter etc. So when you try
empty($var || $var2), and it returns a parse error, even though it looks like a function, you think “this programming language must have been designed by complete amateurs — I don't want anything to do with it”. [ EDIT: changed this paragraph, previously I was getting mixed up between isset() and empty() ]
For a less experienced or able programmer, however, none of this is a problem. Programming languages are entirely magic, and one type of magic is no more surprising than another.
Talking about what the parser is doing is completely incomprehensible to such a developer. You cannot communicate the reaction you feel, because it requires a deeper level of understanding of how things are supposed to work. Less able or experienced developers are simply unable to assess the quality of the tools they work with.
For many coders, the only thing that matters is whether PHP allows them to get something done. The quality of the tools or materials being used does not matter.
Not only are many coders unable to assess the quality of the tools they using, they wouldn't care even if they could, because programming is simply about getting something done. Any thought of taking pride in your work is absent. Such a person will never be convinced by arguments that talk about the quality of tools.
Amateur vs professional
Eevee accused the PHP world of being created by and filled with amateurs. I suspect that to many PHP developers, that has the same effect as Java people saying to Pythonistas that Python is not ‘enterprise ready’. Many Python developers don't care about “the Enterprise” in the first place, and the word may even have negative connotations — associations of massively over-engineered and poorly written bloatware written in Java or C#, which could be replaced by a Python project 10 times smaller.
Many PHP users simply do not aspire to be professional, because they are happy to be called amateurs — they are amateurs, doing stuff just for fun, pure hobbyists who are not making money out of what they are doing, nor relying on PHP to behave in a sane manner with important data. PHP has brought joy to their life. Does it matter to them that PHP doesn't live up to some standard they don't need?
Many developers simply do not care that much about the data that goes through their website. “So what if PHP doesn't have any decent way of handling decimal values? It's close enough for my needs.” For these people not only is the quality of the tool unimportant, the quality of the result is of little consequence. No-one will die or sue them even if it has major bugs.
Also, professionals often have (or feel) obligations to support the code they write, whereas amateurs do not. Therefore amateurs will always trade long-term maintainability for initial deployment speed.
Defending your day job
The previous argument doesn't cover a lot of users, however. Many are using PHP ‘professionally’, and even have customers who may demand that work is done with PHP. (It is perhaps the essential problem of PHP that a language that was designed to be a simple template language for non-programmers has turned into the work-horse of the web, and the network effects caused by adoption amongst amateurs have made it a language for professionals.)
Now, most people want to feel good about the work they are doing. And most people are not in a position to have much influence on whether or not they use PHP. If you tell someone “the tool you are using is Bad For The World”, they will get defensive, even if they would rather be using something else.
I'm extremely fortunate in the work I do that I get to choose my projects carefully, and then charge a high rate for work that I can take real pride in. It's actually fairly unkind of me to berate people for using a language that they didn't really choose — even if they think they are choosing it and will defend it to the death. They are only doing so because the alternative is to say “yes it sucks, and yes I'm doing the world a disservice by continuing to promote it, but it pays the bills”. I've occasionally been in a similar situation in the past, and know how demoralising and depressing it is, and it is more comforting to rationalise your current situation.
In fact, when I was last in a situation like this, I did come up with a whole bunch of rationalisations, which I still think are valid to some degree.
Engineers must be pragmatists at some level. You're paid to achieve things, not for the internal beauty of your code.
I should take pride in customer satisfaction, because that is what matters.
The language itself is not the only factor. You also must consider:
the availability and quality of libraries
documentation and support for such libraries
availability of people to maintain the software in the future.
All of these things depend on human factors and network effects, and can be used to justify a choice on the basis that “lots of other people are choosing this”.
(If you are a “PHP developer” reading this, I apologise for being patronising — this post is not meant to insult, and is not aimed at you but at others).
The vast majority of PHP developers that I've come across have not used any other serious web frameworks. That is why they can say things like “PHP is the best web platform... ever.”
To make such a statement, you need to have in-depth knowledge of a large number of alternative web platforms — if not all the web platforms in existence. However, the author did not demonstrate any knowledge of any alternatives. You are never going to persuade anyone that way. Rather, it will lead people simply to dismiss your opinions entirely. Being ready to make pronouncements on subjects for which you clearly don't have a fraction of the required knowledge is a sign that nothing you say is trustworthy.
However, the problem goes both ways. Eevee's rant, and Jeff's, both contain statements that are to some degree out of date (or appear out of date to someone on the other side who knows the 'standard solution' for the problems highlighted). The reason for this is obvious. If you feel passionately about how bad something is, you will stop using it, and your level of knowledge of the technology will go down. This does lead to a bit of a problem. Those who are unwilling to work with technology X because of how bad it is can always be dismissed as being ignorant of it.
A facet of this problem is that it is extremely easy to underestimate something that you don't have knowledge of — for instance, you can simply underestimate the size of a competing community.
I'll admit I was surprised to learn that PHP has a package manager with 1900 packages in its main repository. However, the author who pointed that out might be more surprised to know some of the following figures:
PyPI has 20,000 packages
over 2,400 are Django related
over 2,000 are Plone related
over 800 are Zope3 related
over 800 are Zope2 related
over 130 are Turbogears related
107,764 Perl modules
Let's add Haskell, as an example of a minority language if ever there was one, and not the first language you'd think of for building web sites:
Hackage has 5376 packages:
350 in the 'Web' category
55 for ‘Yesod’ (one web framework)
I'm sure other languages can boast similar or much better figures. I don't even know where to look with Java — it's quite possibly so large that the idea of a central repository doesn't even make sense.
PHP, despite having huge numbers of developers, looks rather small in comparison. Now, all of these statistics are flawed in a variety of ways, PHP's included, and the bigger a community is, the more they will be flawed — for example, PyPI download stats will often be way out because people are using mirrors etc — but this doesn't affect the point I'm making.
The point is that all the communities are large, and these figures are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of how much is going on in each and every community. And from within a community, you can see some big figures and think “well I doubt anyone could seriously be competing with that!”. This is true no matter what community you belong to. And it makes it difficult to communicate in a meaningful way. Very few can honestly say that they've evaluated the alternatives in a fair way, because the alternatives are so huge.
I'm not sure I have a conclusion actually. These are just some of the pitfalls we face in communicating across different technology communities. I often forget these things, especially when communicating on the internet, and this post is here mainly to help me remember!
Because of the broad spectrum of PHP users, I do think that arguments against PHP are going to have to be more individual to be effective.
For example, suppose you have a customer that wants PHP for a website that deals with money in some way e.g. a shop. I might attempt to shock them by using phpsh to demonstrate PHP's inability to get some basic arithmetic questions correct. I would explain that all languages have problems with floating point arithmetic, which is why other languages have good solutions to this problem e.g. Python's decimal module, which makes it easy to get things right. PHP has nothing approaching this (and yes I know about BCMath and GNU Multiple Precision bindings). Rather, PHP's fundamental attitude is to 1) silently ignore errors, 2) attempt to paper over errors and 3) silently convert your data even if that means losing information. Is this the language you want to handle your data?
For a different situation, I think you'll need a completely different argument. And for many situations, don't even try if you think your words are going to come over as insulting, since that will be counter-productive. That often applies to the internet, and I need to remember that! | <urn:uuid:aa44ff44-a001-4d55-9824-9f97df0e7698> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://lukeplant.me.uk/blog/posts/php-python-and-persuasion/ | 2022-01-29T09:51:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304883.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129092458-20220129122458-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.967652 | 2,668 |
Process of a Prostitution Case in Maryland
After a prostitution charge, you might be embarrassed but also scared about what to do. An experienced Maryland prostitution lawyer can walk you through the prostitution case process and ensure you know what to expect.
The first thing that to expect is that they might be asked by police officers to answer questions immediately. This is a tactic that is used by police officers to take advantage of people who are in a vulnerable state. It is not unusual for police officers to do this in almost every kind of criminal investigation, but typically people who are charged under the prostitution statute find themselves to be extremely vulnerable in these kinds of situations. The primary reason is because of how embarrassing something like this is for somebody to go through. Imagine a person who might be going to see a prostitute, maybe they are going to meet them in a hotel or some other location that was preplanned, and when they arrive there they are greeted by police. Suddenly they realize that many people in their life who they never expected would find out about what they had planned that day are potentially going to find out. That includes family, friends, spouses, and children. It can be an extremely embarrassing situation, so often these people are very cooperative with police officers and they end up confessing to everything. Of course, an experienced Maryland lawyer will tell you to not say a word, allow the police to process them in whatever way possible, and demand an attorney.
Oftentimes, police officers are using circumstantial evidence to prove prostitution cases, but sometimes circumstantial evidence is not enough to prove any criminal activity in court. Similarly, regarding the actual person who was the solicitor (the person who was offering the service of prostitution), it can be an extremely embarrassing experience and people tend to want to cooperate with police officers because of the circumstantial nature of these cases. However, it is important that people try to keep their mouths shut and wait to speak to an attorney before speaking to police about the case.
How a Prostitution Lawyer Can Help
The way that an experienced Maryland prostitution lawyer handles these situations is once the person has contacted an attorney, they get the name of the detective who is investigating the case. The detectives that handle these kinds of cases have been detectives on these kinds of cases for quite a while, so most seasoned attorneys have experience working with almost every major detective in these units throughout the state of Maryland. These detectives are very good at their jobs; they know exactly what they’re doing, how to set up operations, and the evidence that they need to get to try to prove the case. Oftentimes when an attorney is involved, especially an attorney that they know and have experience working with, these detectives become very aware of any shortcomings in their case and any areas where their case might fall short.
Oftentimes, once the case gets to court, prosecutors rely on these detectives to assist them in determining what an appropriate resolution is. If the defendant has an attorney involved who has worked with these detectives before, they can all work as a team to come to a resolution that is fair and appropriate as opposed to someone trying to go at it on their own and answering the detectives’ questions while they are building the case to make it stronger against them. | <urn:uuid:911ec7b7-07bc-4923-899f-e772b542df0e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://maryland-criminallawyer.com/maryland-prostitution-lawyer/case-process/ | 2022-01-29T10:25:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304883.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129092458-20220129122458-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.979697 | 668 |

Obituary: Dianne White Clatto, nation’s first black TV weathercaster
As the tumultuous ’60s descended upon the nation, Dianne White Clatto emerged unwittingly and unceremoniously as St. Louis’ own embodiment of civil rights history.
In 1960, the St. Louis native graduated from the University of Missouri at Columbia, where she was among the first handful of black students. That same year, she became the first African American in St. Louis to model for Stix, Baer & Fuller and Saks Fifth Avenue. Two short years later, Mrs White Clatto joined what was then KSD-TV (now KSDK NewsChannel 5), becoming the first full-time African-American weathercaster in the country.
She died on Monday (May 4, 2015), at McCormack House on Olive near Vandeventer, a short distance and a world away from where she grew up on Vandeventer and Cook in north St. Louis. Until last week, Mrs. White Clatto had been a longtime resident of the Central West End. She was 77.
A rare beauty with a distinctive voice, Mrs. White Clatto graced St. Louis airwaves for more than 40 years in both television and radio. She had planned, she said, to be a psychiatric social worker.
“She stumbled into modeling and then stumbled into TV,” said Chip Porterfield Clatto, Mrs. White Clatto’s only child. “She had no idea.”
Mrs. White Clatto admitted as much during a February interview with The Weather Channel. Her first time on Channel 5’s set, she said, she asked what she was supposed to say.
She chuckled as she recalled being told, “Preferably, something about the weather.”
Mrs. White Clatto landed her first media job in 1960, as an on-air host for a 90-minute, live radio show that aired on stations in St. Louis and Memphis. She was also working as a city manager for Avon and doing a bit singing on the side. Bandleader Russ David was so impressed with an impromptu performance with his orchestra on the Admiral showboat that he told Harold Grams, then general manager of KSD-TV, to consider her for TV stations’ latest trend: “weathergirl.”
Unbeknownst to her then, she was competing with three others, including Mary Frann, who later starred as the wife of Bob Newhart on the television show Newhart.
After several auditions, Mrs. White Clatto struck a deal with KSD for $75 a week. Soon, she was training with Weather Corporation of America, the National Weather Service and KSD’s longtime weathercaster, Howard DeMere, who had been a solo act for many years.
She didn’t give up her day job with Avon until she began doing the weather seven days a week and her salary doubled to $150. There it stubbornly stayed for more than a decade. With the help of the union, her salary increased to $375 a week, but there was no retroactive pay for the many years it was frozen.
Her salary was no reflection of her talent; she was a natural. Nevertheless, she had debuted to mixed reviews: Some whites were simply not ready to have a black woman in their living rooms each day. Years later she recalled receiving telephone calls at home from people who used racial slurs and others who would call and hang up.
But Mrs. White Clatto not only persevered, she thrived – and won over her audience.
By the time her son was born in 1967, most St. Louisans couldn’t imagine television without her. Four hours after he was born, a Channel 5 camera crew was in her hospital room. “So up I got, took the shower, put fresh makeup on, and Chip and I were on television,” she told the Post-Dispatch in 1996.
And for more than 25 years, there she remained. She reported the weather for 12 years, and when “weathergirls” were replaced by mostly male meteorologists, she moved adroitly into reporting hard news and features.
Great ball of fire
“She was a ball of fire, no question about it,” said KSDK archivist Bob Garger in The Weather Channel tribute. “She reacted (very well) to all kinds of things and subjects that were thrown at her.”
Mrs. White Clatto was earning around $40,000 a year when she was fired from KSDK in 1986. She filed a $6 million suit in U.S. District Court in St. Louis claiming harassment and age discrimination. Her case was settled for more than $110,000.
She said the experience caused some bitterness, but she speculated in a 2005 Post-Dispatch story that she’d probably do it all over again.
Ironically, Mrs. White Clatto seemed less perturbed about a 1988 larceny charge. Mercantile Bank mistakenly credited her account with $111,000. She insisted upon paying full restitution although the court required only $50,000, and lived in a halfway house for six months while continuing to work.
She hosted a three-hour talk show at the now-defunct public radio station KBDY and a four-hour show at KXOK talk radio. She soon returned to television, producing and hosting a weekly public interest program on TCI Cablevision titled Shades of Success.
At KSDK, she had talked with the likes of Pearl Bailey, Lena Horne, Paul Newman, Malcolm Forbes and Lou Gossett Jr.
But she proudly boasted that at TCI she interviewed local luminaries such as the Botanical Garden’s Peter Raven, car honcho Vince Bommarito, ice cream mogul Ted Drewes, Washington University’s William Danforth and Cardinal great Ozzie Smith.
“She loved St. Louis and being involved in the city,” her son said.
While working as St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay’s receptionist and sometimes speaking stand-in, Mrs. White Clatto hosted another cable television program, Turn Around St. Louis. She retired recently after working several years at Better Family Life, from which she received a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006.
She was also inducted into the St. Louis Media History Hall of Fame and was honored by the Greater Louis Association of Black Journalists, the Jewish Community Association and the American Cancer Society, in part for her five-part series at KSDK, Coming Back From Cancer.
Throughout her career, Mrs. White Clatto helped others, including younger colleagues.
“She laughed a lot, she joked a lot, but she also went out of her way to mentor young people like myself,” remarked KSDK’S Art Holliday, who contributed to her Weather Channel tribute along with Channel 5 photographer Frank Scalise.
Scalise said: “She was probably one of the best people I’ve ever met and always had other people on her mind.”
The fabric of our lives
Dianne Elizabeth Johnson, the only child of Nettie and Milton Johnson, was born in St. Louis on Dec. 28, 1938. After graduating from Sumner High School in 1956, she earned a degree in psychiatric social work from the University of Missouri at Columbia.
Mrs. White Clatto’s first marriage was to Arthur White; it ended in divorce. She later married Fred H. Porterfield Jr., St. Louis’ first black male newscaster who worked for KMOX-TV (now KMOV). They divorced in 1973; Mr. Porterfield died in 2000.
“They were part of the fabric of St. Louis,” said her son. ”It was a different era.”
She was married for 25 years to her third husband, John Clatto, until his death in 1997.
In addition to her son, Chip (Noelle) Clatto, principal of Collegiate School of Medicine and Bioscience in St. Louis, her survivors include two grandchildren, Luke and Kyra Clatto.
Mrs. White Clatto donated her body to Washington University School of Medicine. She wanted no services but a life celebration may be planned in her honor in the near future.

Possibly the hardest aspect of poker is deciding whether an opponent is betting with a real hand or is bluffing. This dilemma faces every poker player and it changes from street to street. To become expert in determining the real intent of an opponent’s bet takes time and practice.
What Do Poker Players Do to Get Better at Reading Opponents?
It is very difficult to read an opponent. The rules of sound betting go out the window both when you’re playing very experienced players and very inexperienced players. The purpose or motivation of the two types of opponents are vastly different: the inexperienced player doesn’t fully understand what is going on and may make odd bets whilst the experienced player knows very well what is going on and makes bets to confuse his or her opponents.
It’s relatively easy to learn how to evaluate hands, especially pre-flop. The best medium for doing so is to play poker online. Playing online poker gives you a large number of hands to learn from in a cost-efficient way. At an online casino, you don’t have any of the ancillary costs of going to a land-based casino. In addition, you can play for as long as you like and then go on with your daily life.
At a land-based casino, you are somewhat stuck in a gambling mode since you’re not at home. Furthermore, when you play poker at a land-based casino, you might have a long weekend of gambling. As much as you might like gambling for a long weekend, you still need the convenience of practicing whilst playing online poker.
So, it is a lot easier to evaluate a hand than to know what your opponents’ hands are and why they are betting as they are betting. You can learn how to evaluate poker hands by playing regular casino poker, video poker, and poker against live opponents. The really difficult part is to make excellent analyses about your opponents’ hands.
Betting or Bluffing
A bet comes to you and you either have to call, raise, or fold. You need to decide if the opponent who bet is bluffing or not. There are many factors that go into this determination, including the position the opponent was in when he or she bet and their poker-playing tendencies.
Unless you’re a pro who plays against the same people all the time in tournaments, you’ll probably not have enough time to study an opponent’s betting tendencies in full. However, you can study every move they make from the first hand so that your analysis is at least based on the information you have available to you in that session.
Early Position or Late
A common betting advice is that in a late betting position, you can raise if no one before you has raised. The point of this article is that you don’t always know if a call from an early bettor was a ploy to get you to raise and then the caller will re-raise.
In addition, a re-raise might also be a bluff. So, how do you know what the opponents are really doing?
Play Tight and Pay Attention
Until you have developed a fine sense of what an opponent is doing—and this sense takes a very long time to develop and cultivate—it is wise to play tight. Over the course of a game, you might detect subtle tendencies in an opponent. If you do, you should exploit them as much as possible.
Here we have two aspects of the learning process in poker. You want to play as many hands as possible in order to gain as much experience as possible. On the other hand, you want to conserve your stack until you know how to utilize it better.
So, you should play tight and pay attention as closely as if you were in the pot.
How to Play Tight
One of the best ways to play tight is to not overvalue your hand. The top pros can play bad hands as a ploy to get their tournament opponents guessing, but you are not at that level. You should play only top hands with perhaps a venture into a medium hand once in a while.
You must also never overvalue an opponent. There is a famous YouTube clip of Phil Helmuth cursing out an opponent for making ridiculous bets and then getting lucky and winning a big pot. The mistake that Helmuth made in that hand is he overvalued the skill level of his opponent. It is likely that the opponent didn’t fully understand the hand, but Helmuth assumed that he did and it cost him dearly.
When you play poker online, you can play as tight as you want. Playing tight will keep you in the game for a long time even if you aren’t winning many pots. By playing tight, you can play and see many hands. You should try to learn something from every hand.
One of the most overvalued hands is two low-suited connectors. When you have high cards that are suited and connected, you have much better chances to win, but low-suited connectors will almost always lose the pot. You might get a flush but an opponent might have a better flush. You might get a straight but an opponent might have a better straight. If you flop a pair, it will be a low pair and the chances of a low pair winning a pot are slim.
How to Pay Attention
First of all, people with ADD and ADHD have a really hard time playing poker. Daniel Negreanu tries to appear to be hyper-active but it’s all part of his close attention to detail. He feigns restlessness translated into constant talking, but in reality he is studying every player, every bet, every movement, and the outcome of every hand.
He studies every hand, not just the ones he’s in.
Filter out the World
It sounds impossible but it is truly possible. The deeper we concentrate on one thing, the less we think about everything else. The outside world is a distraction. Of course, there are thousands of little things we need to think about in our daily lives, but when we’re learning how to be better poker players we need to concentrate on poker to the exclusion of almost everything else.
If you let your attention waver, it will take a relatively long time to get back to full attention to the hidden details in poker.
Becoming very good at poker is a long-term project. Just as getting into shape physically is a long-term project that you start slowly so as not to strain previously unused muscles, you should start out your poker education slowly. For some that means one-hour sessions whilst others can go for a longer time or a shorter time.
Combining this piece of advice with the previous one, we get to a very important point in your attention development: when you’re not playing poker and concentrating exclusively on the hand at hand, let yourself go. Become interested in everything around you. Look closely at everything.
There is a lot of wisdom in the notion of letting go, so we’ll speak about it in the next article. | <urn:uuid:ab814dee-4fb2-4649-bb25-81503da87488> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://poker.everygame.eu/poker-articles/477-the-poker-player-s-eternal-dilemma-betting-for-real-or-bluffing | 2022-01-29T10:25:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304883.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129092458-20220129122458-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.970697 | 1,475 |
Earth-abundant Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) thin film photovoltaic absorber layers are fabricated by annealing Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) nanoparticle thin films in a selenium rich atmosphere. Systematic variation of the selenization time (5, 10, 20 and 40 min) and temperature (450, 500, 550 and 600 °C) provides insight into the kinetics of the selenization process and in particular recrystallization and grain growth. Se–S anion exchange is found to follow Avrami׳s model in which the CZTS selenization is controlled by an irregular one-dimensional process limited by metal cation re-ordering and grain boundary migration. CZTSSe grain growth is observed to follow a normal relation with a grain growth exponent close to the ideal case of equiaxed grains and the grain boundary migration energy is calculated to be 85.38 kJ/mol. These selenization variables have a fundamental influence on the quality of the resulting CZTSSe thin film and consequently the device performance. A peak device solar energy conversion efficiency of 5.4% was obtained for selenization at 500 °C for 20 min. The device efficiency was found to be highly sensitive to these variables and it is critical to obtain an appropriate balance between grain growth and thin film quality. | <urn:uuid:f411f6e4-e2e4-4abc-899d-563127759727> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://researchportal.northumbria.ac.uk/en/publications/selenization-kinetics-incu2znsnsse4-solar-cells-prepared-from-nan | 2022-01-29T10:49:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304883.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129092458-20220129122458-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.905552 | 295 |
Popular fashion brand, Style Nanda, recently opened its third flagship store last Friday right in the bustling shopping hub of Myeongdong. This particular location certainly stands out from it’s other locations, towering as 5 floor powder-pink hotel. It definitely has a bit of that Grand Budapest Hotel feel crossed with a 1950s vibe.
Like any respectable hotel, the 1st floor holds the lobby. There’s a cute little concierge desk, hotel keys hung on the wall and buffet with a nice selection of their 3CE makeup collection and cosmetic accessories. Right now they are also giving away special 3CE gifts if you spend a certain amount, like mini hand mirrors (₩30,000), 3CE square pouches (₩70,000) and 3CE mini brush kits (₩100,000). You can take your receipt to the on your way out to claim your gift.
The spa is on the 2nd floor and has an even wider selection of their cosmetics. There is a nice little makeup room set up there with plenty of mirrors to test products to your hearts content. I really like this floor in particular because it reminds me of a 1950s movie star’s dressing room. There’s a water draw bath filled with flowers, marble sinks, gold-framed mirrors and velvet cushioned seats. It’s beautiful!
The “rooms” are on the third floor, along with a selection of their clothing. Also, they have an event right now where they give you a ring of keys and allow you to pick a key that you think will open one of the hotel room doors. If you guess correctly, the door will unlock and you get to pick a mystery gift box from the room. My boyfriend and I each got a turn and I picked the correct key! I won a 3CE Creamy Lip Color in “#12 Me Me!”
The clothing selection continues on to the 4th floor which also has a variety of socks, hat, shoes and of course jewellery. I couldn’t resist helping myself to a super cute suede cuff. This floor also happens to be the “Laundry Room.” There are cute washing machines and dryers set up there. There’s even a wall stacked with laundry detergent and plastic chairs to sit in while you wait for your laundry…for girlfriend to finish shopping.
The Pink Pool Cafe is located on the 5th floor, along with a bit more clothing and a wall stacked with jeans. The cafe itself is designed like an American 1950s pool area, beach chairs and all. They have a small menu of coffees, teas and juices along with select desserts. We ordered a cappuccino and cafe latte, which to be honest, weren’t all that great. We also ordered the cotton candy ice cream. It looked really pretty, but wasn’t anything special. Personally, if you want to take pictures of certain visually appealing items I’d say go for it, otherwise I’d say skip it.
If you need a bit of a break after all that shopping there’s a nice little rooftop lounge with giant ruffled pillows to relax on before to go. Overall, I feel that the clothing selection was a bit lacking, but they definitely have a lot of cosmetics to choose from. Their jewellery selection is pretty good too. So I definitely recommend checking it out if you’re a fan of Style Nanda. It’s a super cool store and definitely worth a walk though.

If you missed the first episode of Stilgherrian Live Alpha, it’s over at Ustream. That’s the program exactly as it was broadcast on Thursday night.
(Yes, I could have embedded the Ustream player in this page, but I didn’t because of point 3 below.)
I’m chuffed that a 26-person audience generally found it “entertaining” and “enjoyable” even though it was screwed up technically and the main feature interview didn’t happen at all. It felt much worse from where I was sitting.
Traditional media runs technical trials behind closed doors. Only when everybody is happy that it “works” does the new technology get used “for real”.
However I chose to make this public. With bleeding edge technology it’s useful to share experiences. It feels like extreme programming: just start building it, knowing that you may change things along the way, and learn everything in parallel.
So even though our program didn’t fly well — heck, it’s a flaming wreck at the end of the runway! — the black box flight recorder tells us many things…
First, though, remember the aims of this 8-week Alpha: it’s to assemble the toolkit of hardware, software, services, procedures and mindsets that can be used after that. What does happen after that may or may not be a 30-minute weekly program.
I assembled a toolkit with whatever was at hand. This first program has certainly told us which items need replacing! I appreciate the people telling me that the “set” (whatever was behind me in my office), lighting and camera angles need fixing, or the audio needs equalisation. Keep that feedback coming!
With that in mind, here are our many learnings:
- Ustream works quite nicely, in general. Good audio quality, and good image quality. (The low frame rate was happening on my old computer, so that can be fixed.)
- There’s lots to learn about the audio side. I need a better understanding of how OS X sound routing works, and how Ustream’s “co-host” function works. Time to do some RTFMing.
- The “grammar” of this medium is different. For example, a traditional pre-recorded TV program has 2 seconds of black before the program starts, so I did the same, and started recording during that black. However when Ustream generates the thumbnail image for the program website, it takes the first frame of the recording. That’s why the Stilgherrian’s video clips bin has a black rectangle. [I didn’t want this page to have a black rectangle either, so I chose a frame grab instead.]
- Trying to do everything new all at once is stressful. Even stuff I did know, like hosting a talkback show, I hadn’t done in 15+ years. When the audio screwed up and my guests weren’t available at the right time (not their fault), I was overwhelmed — and that’s why I was sounding so hesitant.
- I am on TV, not radio. I must not fiddle with my nose, because people can see me.
- I suspect I should resist the temptation to make things look slick. It doesn’t have to be “just like ‘real’ TV”. The aim is for immediate, salient content. That’s why people still found it entertaining when disaster struck: when I needed to fill time, I told stories and jokes. Narrative always wins out over fancy packaging. The time spent making graphics could have been better spent experimenting with audio routing.
- Does it need to be at a set time each week? Some level of consistency is needed so people know how to fit the program into their lifestyles, sure. But with modern real-time notification systems people can be told when things are on — and it’s all recorded anyway, even if they can’t participate at the time.
- Does it need to be a set duration or structure? Ditto lifestyle. But the program doesn’t need to fit into a slot in a TV channel’s rigid schedule. The Internet has an infinite number of channels! Programs can be broadcast whenever they choose. And if this program is about what’s happening in my world, then maybe the timing and content needs to adapt to that. Somehow.
For now, I’ll stay with the plan to do episode 2 this coming Thursday 15 May at 9.30pm Sydney time.
However the following week I’m at some tech conferences and maybe it’d be more appropriate to fit the timing around them. And then there’s Eurovision on Sunday 25 May… | <urn:uuid:fb558758-71f4-4211-ad47-b4316dcc35f6> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://stilgherrian.com/stilgherrian-live/stilgherrian-live-alpha-lessons-from-episode-1/ | 2022-01-29T11:07:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304883.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129092458-20220129122458-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.952724 | 1,021 |
Coquitlam Adanac netminder Nick Rose has been the big news item in the Western Lacrosse Association this season, but the guy in the Langley Thunder’s net has a history of headline making this time year and he did it again Sunday.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
Brodie MacDonald, who backstopped the Thunder to the WLA title last season as a rookie last season, turned away 34 of 37 shots in the opener of the best-of-seven league finale Sunday in Langley, propelling his team to a 7-3 win.
Rose, who was recently picked the league’s MVP and top goaltender for 2012, made 52 saves for Coquitlam.
Game 2 is Tuesday in Coquitlam.
Garrett Billings has two goals and two assists for the Thunder, while Lewis Ratcliff supplied three assists and Joel McCready had two goals. Single goals came from Brett Hickey, Athan Iannucci and Rob Van Beek.
Steve McKinlay, Jason Jones and Daryl Veltman scored for the Adanacs. Dane Dobbie, who had 19 goals in a six-game semifinal against the Victoria Shamrocks, was held to two assists.
Coquitlam did seem to be pushing late against the Thunder, but McCready came out from behind the net and snuck a low shot past Rose to make it 6-3 at 16:58 of the third. Van Beek scored into an empty net at 19:01. | <urn:uuid:34f4664f-8329-48e5-82dd-a6fbdef77fc0> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://theprovince.com/sports/brodie-macdonald-leads-thunder-to-win-over-adanacs-in-game-1-of-finale | 2022-01-29T10:48:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304883.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129092458-20220129122458-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.960826 | 323 |

While Republicans claim that a bunch of emails that no one has ever seen are evidence of some unknown and random felony, Trump’s lawyers are getting ready to defend the man against child rape.
Yeah, tell me again how “they’re both the same.”
But then again, as much as I hate Trump, I love facts more. Is there anything to this rape trial?
I briefly looked into it and here’s what I found.
First off, this is a civil trial, not a criminal trial. It’s about money. It’s not being brought by a prosecutor. The anonymous victim first filed this in California, where it was dismissed for technical reasons having to do with service, and then refiled it in New York, where it is set for pre-trial conferences in December. (If Trump were a Democrat, the GOP would have already spent millions on an investigation into this by now.)
Apparently, this victim had been “searching for a lawyer” which is a bad sign — if this was an easily provable case, there would be plenty of lawyers lining up for it. A patent lawyer eventually took the case. Mmm-kay.
The lawsuit stems from an alleged incident during parties held by Jeffrey Epstein where Trump was in attendance. The suit is against both men.
Epstein has spent more than a year in jail on child molestation and is a registered sex offender. He’s settled other similar cases from his victims. And Trump is an admitted sexual abuser — I’ve had clients who have been found guilty of the things Trump has claimed to have done (and which have been confirmed by more than a dozen victims now). My clients are on Megan’s Law list.
Trump’s treatment of women is well known, and it’s believable that he could have done something like this. That doesn’t mean he’s guilty, but you have to admit it kind of fits into this kind of personality. It’s not like he’s a raging feminist — the man has commented sexually about underage girls before more than once and let’s not forget his creepy comments about his own daughter. “Women,” he has said. “You have to treat them like shit.”
It’s also not the first time he’s been accused of rape, either.
So while this lawsuit looks a bit suspicious, Trump fits the profile of a man who would do this. Doesn’t mean he’s guilty, of course. We shall see what happens. | <urn:uuid:432dd319-dac6-41df-8cd7-fd6ecaf01a6e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://ventrellaquest.com/2016/10/31/the-truth-about-trumps-rape-trial/ | 2022-01-29T10:57:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304883.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129092458-20220129122458-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.985494 | 545 |
The scorpion attack terrifies the people of Aswan in Egypt, amid conflicting numbers of victims
Cairo- She went out looking for the warmth she had lost in her mountain burrows, and storms and torrents pushed her into the houses under the mountains, to be warmed by the houses nearby, and there was no safety here either; Man exists, so she flapped her tail while she saw with blunt eyes the ghost of her old enemy, to instill in the closest human beings to her as much poison as she could.
Hundreds of Aswan residents (southern Egypt) were victims of scorpion stings, and there were conflicting official numbers regarding the dead and injured, as the total number of confirmed scorpion stings is around 500.
There were conflicting reports about the deaths Al-Ahram newspaper quoted The official said, according to the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health in Aswan Governorate, Ehab Hanafi, that “3 people were killed and 450 others were injured by scorpion stings as a result of bad weather that hit Aswan on Friday and the latest floods,” while other local media quoted the Minister of Higher Education and Acting Minister of Health Khaled Abdel Ghaffar as saying that There are no deaths, and that more than 500 people received anti-serums in Aswan after being stung by scorpions that abandoned their burrows due to the torrential rains.
The Ministry of Health was keen to reassure the population about the adequacy of the stock of antiserums, noting that it amounts to only 3,350 doses in Aswan Governorate, and the local authorities said that Aswan Governor Ashraf Attia – a former army officer – made a field tour to inspect efforts to contain the repercussions that afflicted the region as a result of the storms. Dirt and torrents.
Pains and tremors
A number of residents of villages near the mountains informed hospital doctors in the areas of Daraw and Kom Ombo that they felt severe pain and high body temperature, as well as sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle tremors, and unusual movements in the head, which prompted the doctors to quickly inject them with anti-scorpion vaccines.
The mountainous areas of Aswan are full of a highly toxic type of scorpion that the locals call “the broad-tailed”, and its victim may die within an hour of being stung.
The Aswan scorpion is called the “Arab fat-tailed scorpion”, and it spreads in North Africa and the Middle East, according to encyclopedias of knowledge, or the black scorpions, and they are scorpions that dig holes and sleep in them, loving to live alone, and at night they go to search for prey.
The total length of the scorpion is from 8 to 10 centimeters, and its senses suffer from poor vision, hearing and smell, and relies on sound vibrations and vibrations to find out the direction of its prey, which is stung by its tail, which is full of poison.
On Friday evening, Aswan Governorate witnessed rain accompanied by thunder and lightning, preceded by a dust storm, which paralyzed transportation, according to what local media reported. This was also accompanied by the appearance of a large number of scorpions, which attacked a number of residents after they were swept away by torrents and winds from Its dens are in the mountains and hills surrounding the city.
Social media witnessed a wave of sympathy with the people of Aswan, who were famous for their “kindness, simplicity and generosity”, according to Tweeters, calling on the government to come to their aid, especially since they are in the far south of the country, away from the capital, which receives the most attention.
Tweeters expressed their surprise at the occurrence of such a disaster in a governorate that is supposed to be prepared for emergencies, especially as it is one of the most important tourist destinations in Egypt.
governorate #aswan at the far #good_level She is living stormy days, in which heavy rain fell, snow fell with thunder and lightning, and more than 100 people were injured by scorpions and snakes swept away by torrents, 5 houses collapsed, and electricity was cut off in several areas.

Aswan drowned, failed system. It is the storm. It was a surprise and no external conspiracy. Where is the failed Sisi regime prepared for the storm? More than 10 houses collapsed in Aswan and 12 died from scorpion bites and 400 injuries from scorpion and snake bites. Where is the army? Where is the interior? Where is the respect for human rights of the Egyptian Aswan? #aswan https://t.co/xZeImu9jVI

Atef Motamad, a professor of geography at Cairo University, who was in Aswan at the time of the storm, said, “In less than half an hour from the start of the storm, trees were falling, windows were smashing, and heavy rain entered homes.”
The Egyptian academic pointed out that “the faltering scene in the city confirms that the governorate administration is not ready for this type of event.”
Motamed pointed out that “the people of Aswan Governorate did not climb the mountain out of love for scorpions and a desire to live next to the rough granite and sandy rocks, but rather they did so as a sacrifice of their comfort in order to preserve every inch of the narrow strips of muddy land that produces food.”
Historically, Upper Egypt, especially Aswan, suffered from scorpion attacks, which killed annually a large proportion of children in the Edfu region in Aswan alone, according to historical sources, including a report by the Egyptian College of Medicine in 1905 AD, which showed that Egyptian scorpions were divided into 3 types: the sandy yellow, which is abundant In Upper Egypt, it killed 60% of children in Edfu, Aswan According to the official Al-Ahram newspaper,And the second type of lemon, which was abundant in Cairo and around Alexandria, and the third type, which is called “Marrakchi”, which is black and abounds in Mariout (west of Alexandria).
Scorpions are a source of livelihood for some, who are keen on catching them alive with tweezers, after flooding their burrows with water to float, then selling their poison to poison centers and vaccines.
As for the anti-scorpion venom drug, it is usually taken from the horse’s blood after injecting it with a percentage of the venom, as the horse secretes anti-venom to eliminate this poison.

The Acer Aspire R 13 convertible notebookhas been named by Laptopmagazine as the “Best of IFA 2014” for “Best Hybrid.” It was one of only five products honored.
The 13.3-inch Aspire R 13 was just recently unveiled at IFA 2014 in Berlin and is one of Acer’s latest convertible notebooks. Less than 25.4 mm (1-inch) thin and just over 1.5 kg (3 lbs), the lightweight R 13 features Acer’s unique Ezel Aero Hinge™ that makes it incredibly versatile. Its display is affixed to this special hinge at the sides, which allows the screen to rotate 180-degrees so it can be used in six different modes – Notebook, Ezel, Stand, Pad, Tent, Display. The hinge offers easy transitioning between the different modes, yet it does not compromise on stability, allowing for a sturdy platform for touch controls.
The Aspire R 13’s touchscreen and outer lid are both encased in a slim, but strong, sheet of Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3, making it tough yet beautiful. The Aspire R 13 Series can also be used with an optional Acer Active Pen for drawing, creating and collaborating. The pen comes with a pressure sensor for professional drawing and a hover sensor for easy access to functions.
In a recent hands-on review of the Aspire R 13 by V3.co.uk, the reviewer commended it for its “fresh and innovative design” and found it “performed quickly and responsively and it was fun to use.” | <urn:uuid:37988b5c-e702-4683-b607-d125e8f1337f> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/press/2014/82253 | 2022-01-29T10:04:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304883.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129092458-20220129122458-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.936652 | 337 |
In Q1-Q3 2019, Boryszew Group generated PLN 4.8 billion in consolidated revenues, with PLN 321 million in consolidated EBITDA and PLN 79 million in net profit. The Company’s Q3 2019 consolidated revenues and EBITDA grew y/y by 10% and 15%, respectively. Moreover, Boryszew also maintained the dynamics of improvement in the efficiency of working capital management.
In the reported period, Boryszew’s consolidated revenues grew by PLN 140 million, while the consolidated EBITDA rose by nearly PLN 12 million. Despite challenging market conditions resulting mainly from the economic slowdown in Europe, the Group’s performance was positively impacted by the robust results recorded in the Automotive Segment.
In Maflow Group, we have markedly improved management of our production processes and increased the profitability of the Group plants. As a globally operating entity, Maflow is much more resilient to the ongoing crisis in the automotive sector. What’s more, the Group’s portfolio of clients is much more diversified, which is what we are aiming for in the Boryszew Automotive Plastic (BAP) Group as well. At BAP, the sale of tools rose by PLN 42 million in Q3 2019, while the sale of parts remained lower y/y – said Piotr Lisiecki, President of the Management Board and CEO of Boryszew S.A.
In Q3 2019, Boryszew continued to improve significantly its efficiency ratios.
Our net working capital decreased by nearly 28% compared to Q3 2018. In this period, we reduced our inventories by 8% and shortened the receivables turnover by 5 days – Piotr Lisiecki added.
On 28 November 2019, the Group announced the conclusion of a preliminary conditional agreement for the sale of Impexmetal S.A. This was the effect of negotiations which commenced earlier this year as part of the review of strategic options, of which Boryszew informed in its current report dated 28 May 2019.
The offer from the Swedish company Gränges was very attractive indeed. After detailed analysis, we decided that the sale is the most advantageous scenario from the point of view of the Group’s value growth. Boryszew Group will remain the largest producer of non-ferrous metals in Poland. In the area of aluminium products alone, after the sale of our assets in Konin, our production capacity will total 70,000 tonnes (NPA Skawina) – Boryszew CEO Piotr Lisiecki said.
Boryszew Group’s overall production capacity in the Non-Ferrous Metals Segment (aluminium, lead, copper, zinc) currently stands at 350,000 tonnes. Upon completion of the transaction, it will reach the level of 250,000 tonnes. | <urn:uuid:5c94e2b1-c963-4673-bbeb-785553b04e2e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.boryszew.com.pl/en/boryszew-group-posts-growth-despite-unfavourable-market-conditions/ | 2022-01-29T10:21:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304883.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129092458-20220129122458-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.940007 | 610 |
This is an extremely interesting post for me to learn. I grew up using my earlier aunt consistently calling me personally foolish, stupid, and unsightly. Because of a watch difficulties, we thought they and produced low self-confidence. I didn’t day because I was as well timid. Thus i have already been gullible to flattery. I will be today at long last realizing the difference. I’ve been informed recently be many different guys that i’m appealing and attractive. I am not sure just how sincere it absolutely was now from just one ones, but from people It’s my opinion they certainly were genuine and this enjoys aided my personal confidence levels more. So much in fact that I finally believe sufficiently strong not to ever try to let males make use of me. I have another online game face on incase each goes poof I’m not probably keep asking myself personally, just what performed i really do wrong? In the future, if a man i’m matchmaking cannot praise me personally sometimes, i do believe I would personally tell him, you understand, it would be very nice to know if you learn myself attractive and attractive every so often. It isn’t planning to visit my mind.
You are aware, a lot hinges on exactly how once they’ said. When it will come down as a line, We discount it. (But that does not mean whether or not it’s passed away off in a charming method by a charming guy, I’m not likely to laugh and give thanks to your.)
Like other women, though, we usually see compliments heard to simply accept. I am dealing with it, though.
But i wish to ask you to answer all — how frequently do you ever compliment your date on things, whether it is their clothes, laugh, attention, etc. (and, after you’ve been intimate, their well, ya see. Plenty of friends has told me they don’t, and I was actually most amazed. I believe for men, that is things they anxiously wish listen to).
OK i will be accountable for that. And even on occasion we clarify it whether it does matter or really does a bit of good or otherwise not.
Generally I do eventually accept another person’s actual attractiveness subsequently state (truthfully) the next.
Certainly you’re most appealing, and that I usually do not say nothing regarding it though if it faded or if some thing took place to switch it will never make a difference. Some body with which has my personal affection and dedication will need that whether they were deemed generally appealing or homely or something else.
Plus some girls I have dated for a while are not the majority of regarded as being appealing. Though jointly securities with these people they naturally being very for me.
So I perform generally accept things like:
whenever it really is.
I have found when someone continuously demands reinforcement of being quite I quickly usually do not endure the connection. Therefore, the people just who stated “I’m following you, aren’t I?”, got merely a tad insensitive.
When I get that sort of matter I usually point out that i actually do locate them appealing, that we perform, and this I don’t usually acknowledge they (as with the comments above), subsequently try to recognize they for some time genuinely to turn around any good insecurity. I additionally know the prices that I have found more critical when it’s real and we also learn one another well enough to get believed Love the manner in which you envision, We learned new things away from bbwcupid daten you(often), and finally one: Thanks for requesting guidelines.
(Last one for laughs).
To the males online: people NEVER TIRE OF READING AN ACCOMPANY, AND STATING THAT YOU LOVE THE MANNER BY WHICH WE FIND IS AMONG THE TOP TYPES. Bottom line is actually, was you have an interest, tell us you imagine we’re gorgeous. I’ll reveal what the results are when guys are stingy in that location. My personal exhusband was. Even if I would go the extra mile however never say something. Eventually we going inquiring how do you look? in which he had been say okay in a monitoned vocals. Then we’d choose a social celebration along with his pals would say all the stuff I wanted to listen from him. Whenever I ultimately confronted him about it, the guy simply said that he believed I became interested in a compliment and know we everything I planned to listen so he don’t. That is one reason why he is now live by yourself and it undoubtedly demonstrates it is advisable to mistake on the side that she may tire from it. (I dought they)
My personal ex accustomed accuse me personally of fishing for suits
Wow, it must be good to obtain comments in your looks. The actual only real compliments I’ve ever before obtained inside my life time (besides the obligatory group patter) had been those we gotten from an ex supervisor (the very best manager we had) back at my perform performance.
I often fantasize as to what it might be love to become comments to my looks. We imagine it would be great. Really, it doesn’t appear to be I’ll actually ever discover the truth for my self thus I’ll always look over your site and savor myself personally vicariously through reading concerning your achievements. | <urn:uuid:77d0329c-f87a-4f9c-a1d1-92c3ac9278c7> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.brokenconcept.com/i-m-sure-it-sounds-like-a-number-of-junk-but-all/ | 2022-01-29T10:13:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304883.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129092458-20220129122458-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.971883 | 1,145 |
Do you ever wonder the companies and brands got their names? Google, Facebook, Yahoo, NIKE – every brand has a story, but what about fruits? There are a number of companies out there named after parts of our five-a-day – here are why three of them were named so.
Apple is the one of the biggest tech companies in the world, responsible for classic tech releases like the iPod, iPhone, MacBook, and Apple watch, but why is the business called Apple?
There are a number of potential reasons behind the name. First, Steve Jobs used to work on an apple farm-cum-hippie commune around the time of starting the company. He was also a fan of one-ingredient diets, which – you guessed it – included apples.
In reality though, it’s a combination of these and other reasons. From the words of Steve Jobs himself: “Everyone was suggesting names like Matrix Electronics and all sorts of different names. We simply decided that we were going to call it Apple Computer unless someone suggested a better name by 5 o’clock that day. Partly because I like apples a lot and partially because Apple is ahead of Atari in the phone book and I used to work at Atari.”
The Raspberry Pi is a single board computer developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in the UK. It’s popularly known as an inexpensive means of teaching programming to children, and had sales of 36 million between 2012 and 2020.
In an interview with Techspot, the company’s founder, Eben Upton, shared why the company was named after the popular bramble fruit. According to Upton, many computers in the old days of computing were named after fruits including Tangerine Computer Systems, Apricot Computers, and Acorn, and the team wanted to reference that heritage. The Pi comes from Python, the coding language the systems were originally designed for.
The classic phone producer from the noughties, Blackberry (once known as Research in Motion – RIM) might not be the force it once was, but it still has clout in the big tech brand stakes.
The company was named Blackberry after RIM decided to rebrand in 1999. Their partner agency, Lexicon Branding, felt that the keyboard buttons on the original Blackberry phones were similar to the drupelets that make up blackberries, and the name was born. In a time when Apple was in the ascendent, it’s understandable why executives chose to greenlight the name change. | <urn:uuid:ad3e303c-c4ff-45f7-be00-d552327596f5> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.cleantechloops.com/why-giant-tech-companies-were-named-after-fruits/ | 2022-01-29T10:01:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304883.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129092458-20220129122458-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.975952 | 533 |

Dr. Joselyn Chua, an orthodontist in Mississauga, provides friendly and reliable orthodontic care that relies on the Damon® System (low-friction braces) to address teeth alignment and bite problems.
You’ll have a healthy, beaming smile with the Damon® System. We have chosen the Damon® System for our patients as it provides extraordinary clinical results. An innovative combination of low-friction passive braces, low-force titanium shape- memory wires and minimally invasive treatment protocols work together to give patients what they really want: broad, beautiful smiles. The Damon® System (low-friction braces) is available in both high-grade stainless steel as well as clear ceramic brackets to help us provide you with a complete range of solutions.
Conventional braces use coloured elastics to hold the wire in place. However, studies have shown that these braces increase friction. Additional findings show that conventional braces accumulate plaque and bacteria which can lead to discolouration of the braces and, in some cases, permanent staining of the teeth. The Damon® System uses a passive door to hold the wire in place. This advanced feature means less force is needed to move your teeth and it’s easier to keep your teeth clean.
Consistent high-quality results
Self-ligating braces allow for more efficient tooth movement
Less need for extractions

The Saffron Festival in Consuegra, Spain, celebrates the world’s most expensive spice for its weight, thanks largely to the practice of harvesting the delicate flowers and their threads entirely by hand. The sparsity of saffron threads also adds to their value. It takes approximately 150 crocus blossoms to produce a single gram of saffron.
Saffron Picking Contest
Consuegra’s saffron-picking contest is one of the most popular events at the town’s Saffron Festival, held annually on the last full weekend of October.
A large audience sits beneath a white tent in the Plaza España in downtown Consuegra. All are silent, their attention focused on a long table at the front of the room, where eight contestants sit quietly, hands in their laps, a pile of brilliant purple crocus blossoms lying before each. Finally, a voice echoes through the microphone: “Uno! Dos! Tres!” and the children spring into action, working intently but quickly through the piled-up blossoms, plucking three slender, curling red stigmas from each flower.
At the end of three minutes, each contestant’s piles are evaluated: How many saffron threads did each one harvest? Are all the threads intact, and have any flowers been left partially unpicked? The answers will determine the winner of this year’s competition and a year’s worth of bragging rights.
Equally important to Consuegran festival-goers is the region’s prowess in producing this rare spice. Crocus sativus, commonly known as saffron crocus, is grown throughout the sunny, arid regions of the Mediterranean. But the flower thrives here in central Spain, the world’s second largest producer of the highly prized spice. Iran claims the number one spot.
Saffron Festival Events
Other Saffron Festival activities include saffron harvesting demonstrations, traditional cooking competitions (with many of the dishes incorporating saffron), and restaurant tasting menus centered on the spice.
Dishes include paella, the world’s most famous saffron-themed dish, but often venture into the more creative: locally made Manchego slices dusted with saffron; risotto prepared with mushrooms, parmesan, and saffron; fish tacos with garlic-saffron sauce; even saffron-infused ice cream. And everywhere you go there are jars of dried saffron and saffron-infused products to take home.
If Consuegra’s Saffron Festival focuses largely on its famous flower, the celebration also relishes other elements of the region’s storied past. This is the Castilla-La Mancha region of Spain, an area rich with history and tradition. Just outside of town, a rocky outcropping called Calderico Hill is crowned by white 16th-century windmills. They’re a local landmark feted by another La Manchan legend, Miguel de Cervantes, in his novel Don Quixote.
Visitors can expect a taste of all these cultural elements alongside Consuegra’s famous spice: traditional music and historical reenactments, folk dance performances, and the annual crowning of a young Dulcinea, Don Quixote’s fictional sweetheart. Taken together, they form the heart and soul of La Manchan tradition and culture.
The Saffron Crocus
But ultimately, it is Consuegra’s famous crocuses that draw visitors—particularly flower lovers—to this Spanish harvest festival, and quiet drives through the countryside that stand out among sightseeing opportunities. In all directions, the landscape is awash with violet in late October, when crocuses mature and burst into bloom. Dozens of harvesters stoop over the blossoms, carefully picking the flowers by hand and dropping them into straw baskets. Flower petals are still damp with dew midmorning, the traditional time of day for the saffron harvest. For it is at midmorning when the crocuses open their petals wide to drink in the morning sunshine. Midmorning also happens to be your best opportunity to see these small flowers showing off, revealing their saffron threads in all their crimson glory.
WHEN YOU GO:
The Saffron Festival takes place annually the last full weekend of October, timed to coincide with the harvest of the saffron crocus flower. Purchase tickets online to Saffron Festival events such as the crowning of the Dulcinea, concerts, and the saffron speed-picking competitions. Self-driving tours of the region’s saffron fields are free. Head out midmorning to see the flowers fully open to the sun, the time of day you are most likely to observe the hand-harvesting of the blossoms.
Consuegra lies 40 miles southeast of Toledo. The city is famous for its Moorish castle, ancient houses of Jewish, Muslim, and Christian houses of worship, and the El Greco Museum focused on the Spanish Renaissance painter who lived here in the late-16th to early-17th-centuries. Approximately 80 miles north of Consuegra lies Madrid, a hub for international air and train travel.

By Steve Heintz of Heintz & Becker on Wednesday, January 13, 2016.
Is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) making the right decisions when it comes to the issue of painkillers and children, or has it become a pawn of the pharmaceutical industry? Some are saying that a recent FDA decision is flawed and may put our children at risk of becoming the next generation of drug addicts.
In August, the FDA issued a shocking approval of the use of the narcotic painkiller OxyContin for children as young as 11 in certain situations. Just as shocking was who the FDA got the information it relied on in making its decision from: Purdue Pharma of Stamford, Conn., the pharmaceutical company that manufactures the drug and who stands to make big money from the FDA approval. That same company admitted to falsely playing down the addictive nature OxyContin just a few years earlier.
OxyContin is an extremely powerful and highly addictive long-release version of oxycodone which is intended to be limited to patients with severe and chronic pain. It’s also a drug of choice for many drug addicts. Shortly after the FDA’s announcement, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin wrote that he was “disgusted” by the decision, saying the decision was “reckless” and “a horrifying example of the disconnect between the FDA approval process and the realities the deadly epidemic of prescription drug abuse are having on our communities” that “endangers the lives of our most precious asset and the nation’s future: children.”
While it is true that doctors need to be able to treat children in severe pain, such as those suffering from bone cancer or who have undergone spinal surgery, several members of Congress sent a letter to the FDA in December strongly urging it to reconsider its decision. The letter criticizes the FDA’s decision-making process, saying “as other federal agencies…work to combat this growing epidemic, we find it startling that the FDA took this action without the benefit of review and input from an Advisory Committee. And, most egregiously, that the FDA relied solely on an evaluation conducted by the pharmaceutical company who stands to benefit from the sale of this drug.”
Unfortunately, the ongoing arguments and accusations are of no help to parents who may be faced with agonizing medical care decisions for their children. Heintz & Becker provides legal representation for families of children who have suffered extreme pain after being injured in traffic crashes or other accidents. Our attorneys know that the parents of these children often suffer just as much as they try to comfort their children and find the right doctors who can safely treat their children’s pain. If your child is suffering from extreme pain due to someone else’s negligence, please contact one of our attorneys for a free, no-obligation evaluation of your claim for financial compensation on behalf of your child.

Lee Min Ho & Kim Go Eun Have A Bitter Departing And A Sweet Reunion In Episode 6 Of “The King: Eternal Monarch”
Episode 6 delighted audiences as Lee Min Ho and Kim Go Eun’s characters confirm their feelings for one another in Episode 6 of The King: Eternal Monarch!
The chemistry between the two lead characters of The King: Eternal Monarch, is only increasing in episode six of the popular Netflix series. Following the excitement of episode five, in which Kim Go Eun’s character Jung Tae Eul embarks on a journey into the parallel universe, episode six deals with the consequences. It also investigates the tender relationship beginning between its main characters following their kiss in the last episode.
The love triangle begins
Starting where the last episode ended, Jung Tae Eul and Lee Gon’s conversation is interrupted by Goo Seu Ryeong’s surprise arrival. The meeting is certainly awkward–to Goo Seu Ryeong’s dismay, it is obvious that Lee Gon is enthralled by Jung Tae Eul. He smiles at her in a way he has never done for Goo Seu Ryeong, despite her best efforts.
Jung Tae Eul attempts to ward off suspicion by stating she is a big fan of Prime Minister Goo Seu Ryeong. Instead of offering her name, she provides a simple explanation that she is just a traveller. Refusing to leave the couple, Goo Seu Ryeong witnesses Lee Gon and Jung Tae Eul enter the building together. Their casual intimacy both angers and worries Goo Seu Ryeong.
This episode is a milestone for the relationship between Jung Tae Eul and Lee Gon. After Lee Gon accesses Jung Tae Eul’s search history on his phone, he finds out she is curious about his past relationships. He grins cheekily as Jung Tae Eul reluctantly begins to be more honest regarding her feelings for him. The two share sweet moments in Lee Gon’s home, as he opens up to her about his violent childhood.
Separated once more
The lovestruck couple must part ways once again. Jung Tae Eul understands she cannot stay forever and must return to her own world. Their departure is sped up due to Japan’s surprise invasion into Corea’s oceans, forcing Lee Gon to take part in the naval defence of his country.
Lee Gon charms viewers as he tenderly asks Jung Tae Eul, “Will you wait for me?” Implying that he will come to visit her in her world, Jung Tae Eul softly agrees.
Episode six was a milestone not only for the main leads’ relationship but also due to the many revelations made in the episode.
Another love interest?
The history between Jung Tae Eul and Detective Kang Shin Jae is explored. Shin Jae reminisces on their past. Viewers witness Jung Tae Eul saving him from getting beaten up.
She invites him to study taekwondo. We continue to suspect that Shin Jae’s feelings towards Jung Tae Eul will pose a challenge to Lee Gon.
Jung Tae Eul and Luna
Though the show has made various hints to audiences so far, it was finally confirmed this episode that Jung Tae Eul and Luna are the same people. Well, the same people living in two different dimensions.
This brings up even more mystery surrounding Jung Tae Eul’s connection to Lee Gon’s universe. Moreover, this makes us wonder the main question: What role Luna would play in both worlds?
Other time travellers
Back in her own world, Jung Tae Eul ponders her current murder case from work. She listens to the puzzling phone evidence she has. She realizes that the news segments recorded are not from this world.
They are instead from Lee Gon’s dimension. There must be another time-traveller. While this is a shock for her, this is not news for the audiences. We wonder how soon our main protagonists will encounter the villainous traveller, Lee Rim.
Reunited once more
The lovers separated by dimensions are reunited once again. Lee Gon visits Jung Tae Eul as promised and the two embrace. Viewers realize that despite all challenges, Lee Gon is committed to keeping Jung Tae Eul in his life.
However, challenging their budding romance is his realization that while she may not be a danger to his life, he is starting to risk hers.
You can expect to see a lot more tension in episode seven. The characters investigate further into the details surrounding the mysterious Luna. Additionally, identical Jo Eun Seop and Jo Young are set to meet each other for the first time in what will surely be a hilarious event!
