Anyhoo, one of the grapes that grows well in Paso Robles, which is located in the center of
I filled Winemonkey’s two glasses with a tasting sized pour while he looked away and he did the same for me. As we sat down to discuss the wines (not knowing which was which of course) we either had completely differing opinions or the wines were poured in the same order. One glass of Zin we found overly sweet, almost sugary, and rather simple. The other seemed to have more depth to it, perhaps from other varietals being blended in as well as more care being taken during winemaking. Using our prior knowledge and, unfortunately for this particular tasting, knowing the general pricing of the two bottles, we pegged the sweet, simple wine as the Rosenblum and the more complex as the Linne Calodo.
As you may have guessed by now, we were wrong. Dead wrong. We had indeed poured the wines for one another in the same order and, lo and behold, the seemingly more complex and well-balanced wine turned out to be the Rosenblum! Before you get all excited and run out and buy a case of Rosenblum Paso Robles Zinfandel, let me just note that we were not especially impressed by either wine. In fact, we have blogged about some well-priced Zins in the past
I guess the moral of the story is never to judge a book — or a wine — by it’s cover. In this case all you get is an emptier wallet.

Bugs stink, regardless, but there is one in particular that stinks a bit more than the rest. You have probably seen these shield-shaped pests before around your Nashville home. Each fall without fail they invade in large numbers and cause trouble with their pungent odor and propensity for generally being annoying. We are of course talking about stink bugs. If your home has struggled with stink bug infestations in past years, we have a comprehensive control guide that you have to hear about. Here is everything you need to know about stink bug control.
What Are Stink Bugs?
Stink bugs are agricultural pests that spend the majority of their life outside, attacking crops. These smelly bugs can be identified by their mottled grayish-brown color and shield-shaped bodies. When squished or threatened, stink bugs release a pungent odor that some describe as smelling like cilantro, and if you know anything about cilantro, it tastes a whole lot better than it smells.
Stink bugs become a problem inside as weather cools down during fall. Most often infestations start on the outside of homes as stink bugs gather on exterior walls to catch sunlight and stay warm. If a home is improperly sealed, stink bugs can find better warmth inside by invading. This is, of course, where problems begin.
Are stink bugs dangerous?
Despite assaulting noses with their pungent odor, stink bugs are not dangerous to humans or pets. They are not known for carrying dangerous diseases and they don’t have stingers. The biggest problem stink bugs cause is with just how annoying they are. If you have ever had a stink bug in your home, you know exactly what we are talking about. When they invade, they get on everything and do whatever they wish. Watching TV? They will find their way on the screen. Doing dishes? They will land on your sponge. Working out? They will buzz around your head until you go crazy.
Are stink bugs destructive?
Stink bugs have a huge hunger that can only be satisfied by eating plant life. If you have a garden or decorative plants in and around your home, they could be seriously damaged by a stink bug infestation.
How To Stop Stink Bugs From Getting Inside
Stink bugs will get into homes in a number of different ways. To keep stink bugs from finding their way into your Nashville home this fall, here are some prevention tips our experts recommend you do.
Thoroughly inspect the exterior of your home for gaps, cracks, and small openings where stink bugs could fit through. Seal off these potential entry points using a caulking gun or some liquid cement.
Check weather stripping around your home for damage or general wear and tear and repair or replace them as needed.
Fix torn or ripped window and door screens around your home.
Make sure all of your exterior doors are equipped with door sweeps.
Keep exterior lights turned off at night or invest in insect-resistant light bulbs.
Reduce moisture around your home by fixing leaks, repairing broken gutters, and using a dehumidifier as needed.
Make sure your home is properly ventilated.
Check food and other items for hitchhiking stink bugs.
If your home is already being invaded by stink bugs or you would like extra help protecting your home from being invaded this fall, we have answers for you here at All-American Pest Control. Let us find your quickest path to a stink bug-free fall.

Fumigation In Karachi | <urn:uuid:aeecfa98-8ee9-4e55-83bf-65b0e4f8ca3c> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://blog.karachipestcontrol.com/2020/09/15/nashvilles-comprehensive-guide-to-stink-bug-control/ | 2022-01-28T19:22:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320306335.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128182552-20220128212552-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.942673 | 869 |
This week we are going to look at the very opposite sides of mascotdom, all from one school. We like to point out either how fierce a mascot can look versus how cartoony a mascot can look. Both have its plusses and both have its minuses. But what if you’re a school that wants to cover all of the bases when it comes to mascots? Well, you do what Xavier did and have a mascot to fill each role. Let’s take a trip down to Cincinnati, Ohio and check out Xavier’s D’Artagnan and the Blue Blob.
Xavier came into existence around 1831 and is the first Catholic institution of higher learning. Reverend Francis J. Finn, S.J., In response to a directive from the Board of Trustees, proposed the name Musketeers in 1925. We couldn’t find much on when D’Artagnan first showed up but we are well aware that he is the extension of Musketeer name. The Blue Blob, however, showed up in late 1980s when the assistant to the director of sports services, Sally Watson, wanted to have a kid friendly counterpart to D’Artagnan. Ever since, both mascots tumble through the sidelines to cheer on the teams both old and young alike.
So let’s go over D’Artagnan. The scary side of the mascot dynamic duo has a big, soft head complete with some frisky facial features. The classic Musketeer hat with a feather tucked into tops the large noggin’. The rest of the costume resembles a more human form and rounds out what a French swashbuckler should look like. We don’t see any swords but that’s probably because he hasn’t had to use it, yet. All in all, he stands tall but isn’t as scary as some of the animal standing mascots. Still, D’Artagnan can whoop up on the lot of human mascots by the sword alone.
The Blue Blob is most literal representation of a mascot we have seen to date. From the images shown, we can tell that yes, he is blue and he is a blob. The rumor was that Sesame Street’s very own Cookie Monster was inspiration for this guy and we can totally see it. There’s your instant relation with the kids. Why not take a popular kids television character and have him root your team on? Now, we don’t know if it’s the same kind of deal like what Oregon has with the Duck and Disney’s Donald Duck, but we assume that any legal hurdles are cleared. We’re sure the kids love this guy but we like Western Kentucky’s Big Red counterpart better.
So we have a decent mascot on the scary side of things and we have a decent mascot on the cartoony side of things. Alone, they are not good. Put them together and you have a tasty one-two combination of mascot power. Sometimes a university can only reinvent the current mascot so many times. Sometimes you need to bring in a whole new character. The Xavier Musketeers did so and did a great job of it, too. Now we are hungry for some cookies and 3 Musketeers candy bars for some strange reason. | <urn:uuid:adc465e9-535a-4e00-baaf-eaa0c39dd08a> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://kccollegegameday.com/2010/06/07/mascot-monday-dartagnan-and-blue-blob/ | 2022-01-28T18:47:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320306335.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128182552-20220128212552-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.949902 | 696 |

In response to a great deal of unease and a keen interest in finding a better way of being in this world, I have turned to creativity and in particular writing for some answers. Along the way a practice has emerged, out of something that is not entirely clear, which I like to call the Mindful Creative Enquiry. It starts with a simple question.
This question becomes a mantra as I start out on a new creative challenge. It is a device I purposely revisit because there is so much to unfold from that simple enquiry. It provides not only something to begin with but also something to return to, and this is very important.
To begin this blog I asked, Where do I start?
At the risk of going on ad nauseum, I return to it again and again because repetition is important when forging a new pathway. But rather than a tedious task done by rote, this seemingly banal and repetitive question has the surprising effect of consistently inspiring fresh ideas. It stokes my curiosity to see what new response might bubble up.
My quest is In Search of Clarity, so I use it as means of starting something that’s not entirely clear. Acting like a key for unlocking a blank page — a body of potential, it has proven helpful for opening a direction forward. But once I’ve started I also use it to bring myself back when I get a bit carried away.
I am reminded of the mindfulness technique of focusing on the breath during meditation. We start the practice by taking several deep breaths to settle in, allowing ourselves to become more present. The idea then is to observe the thoughts that arise without getting too caught up in them. To help with this we can turn our attention to the rising and falling of our breath. As soon as we notice ourselves being swept up in thoughts or feelings again, we can always return to the rhythm of the breath.
Like the breath in this example, the creative enquiry can act as something to initiate the practice as well as somewhere to return to when our mind wanders. Having a constant reminder to come back to is essential for coping with our distracted lives. It gives us an anchor to steady ourselves with and helps develop presence and peace of mind.
Having a constant reminder to come back to is essential for coping with our distracted lives.
If our purpose is clarity, then this act of returning becomes essential for staying on course. We are starting in a state of uncertainty — unsure of what we need to do, want to say, or where we will end up. We may have a goal but aren’t quite sure how to achieve it yet. Inevitably, along the way we will get distracted, lost, confused or just plain forget what we were doing in the first place. Having something to return to as a reminder helps us to refocus our efforts and regain our purpose.
At first, we may meet a variety of obstacles. Sitting in meditation we experience restlessness, boredom, pain, or drowsiness to name a few. With creative writing we feel self-doubt, uncertainty, inarticulacy. But if we stick with it, making small steps forward then gently calling ourselves back, gradually we gain a measure of independence from our racing thoughts and can experience greater moments of calm alertness. As we begin to identify with the awareness of the thoughts as opposed to the thoughts themselves, we touch upon a very deep and mysterious part of ourselves.
The creative enquiry serves a purpose similar to the meditative practice. It is one of introspection and a means of becoming aware of the thoughts and feelings we have. However, it differs in the sense that it looks to that which arises for creative potential. Instead of letting the thoughts go untouched, they are channeled and shaped into something more tangible. In this way we ground them instead of letting them fly around ceaselessly in our minds. This has the effect of discharging them and allowing them to either leave us in peace or come to some sort of fruition on the page.
My interest is in filtering out the noise and tuning into that clear signal waiting patiently beneath. I’m looking for ways to calm and bypass the fragile ego, and instead let that silent giant that knows better have its say. The emphasis is not so much on the content, but in peeling back the layers and touching upon something residing at a much deeper level. There may be a lot of crap in the way, but by patiently working our way through we find a potent source of inspiration.
For now I am trying to ground a practice that helps bring clarity and embrace the unknown. I am using creative enquiry to establish a rhythm, a simple routine I can repeat that helps me get a footing in a new terrain. The consistency gives a modicum of certainty that helps deal with the uncertainty of starting something new. It also prevents me from straying too far ahead initially. By returning to my starting question, I am gradually teasing out that thread that connects back to a much deeper source.
Life takes on greater meaning and relevance when we come into contact with this inner signal. There is a unifying influence that makes connections and imbues greater significance to ordinary things. Wonder replaces banality.
The ideas that emerge from this creative wellspring have a curious effect. They stay with you and work on you. They lead you to unusual places. They make things pop out that you never noticed before. They urge you onwards towards some unrealised place. They feel abundantly alive and potent.
But the creative journey can be a precarious one. We get glimpses of awe-inspiring visions, as inspiration strikes a window to some tantalising place is revealed. However, it can vanish again just as suddenly, leaving you feeling singed and bewildered. Or it can be mercurial and lead you astray. There is a tendency to get sidetracked with tangential interests. It is important to break new ground and investigate less trodden areas, but sometimes we stray far from our initial intention, losing ourselves down rabbit holes, or off on some cloud.
When we branch off and get entangled the creative enquiry looks to our roots for guidance, helping us to reconnect with our original purpose. There is an anchoring effect as we return to check back in with where we started. By building this into a deliberate practice we can mitigate some of the pitfalls that accompany the “big idea”.
Tuning into that urge that got us going in the first place we build a stronger relationship with a deep source of guidance. If you manage to listen, and pick up the request put to you, it is a simple one, but one that takes some courage to act on.
Sometimes all it takes is starting something new and returning to it as much as possible. That is my purpose for now, and something I will return to touch upon in more detail in the next post. | <urn:uuid:9f7d1336-003e-4619-a591-4c06128ba29d> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://www.louisrobinclear.com/return-and-repeat/ | 2022-01-28T18:32:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320306335.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128182552-20220128212552-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.960113 | 1,412 |
Jobs for Students in Austria
As a way to support their education and living situation in Austria, students can seek out different ways to rake in some money while studying as well. In Austria, foreign students can work part-time for not more than 20 hours per week. Also, as long as the student remains enrolled in a study program in Austria, they can work and earn money without needing any work permit.
Some common ways to make money in Austria are either working paid jobs at restricted hours, working on your university campus, jobs online or service jobs that require talent or skill. Some of the job opportunities easily open to students include;
In Austria, it is commonplace to see many international students pick up weekend jobs or Saturday jobs. These jobs are a perfect way for the student to earn money on the side and still keep up with their academics.
Students work mostly for 10 hours on the weekend and get paid somewhere between €300 to €400 at the end of the month. Please bear in mind that these jobs vary between location and might include odd jobs or manual labor, however, they are not exploitative and require zero to basic knowledge of German.
Part-time jobs are a lot like weekend jobs but they require longer hours and more commitment. Part-time jobs are usually done 20 hours weekly and can be distributed according to the student’s study schedules or individual capacity.
Part-time jobs include Tutoring a foreign language, restaurant waiters, bartenders, delivery jobs, salesperson, store clerks, cashiers, hotel staff and a lot more. These jobs pay amounts somewhere between €800 to €1000 per month.
Internships: Internships are part-time jobs in professional or career establishments. Internships are not only rewarding financially, but they are also very important career-building blocks. Students gain important field knowledge and experience through internships at professional spaces related directly to their field of study.
Internship opportunities in Austria are very broad and are available in several areas or professions. Some universities also have internships as a requirement for the completion of a university degree.
Typically, working hours are usually 40 hours per week but the earnings are still in the part-time salary range. On the plus side, internships are an excellent way to move from the classroom and gain the needed practical knowledge.
Jobs on Campus:
Students can find employment opportunities right within their university campus. These include jobs in the faculty administration, jobs in the international student branch of their university, roles in many clubs and associations, jobs in their faculty cafe or restaurant, jobs in the library or school reservatories.
Additionally, post-graduate students can be employed as teaching assistants or research assistants in their respective departments. These jobs are very lucrative as they offer scholarships and funding along with monthly stipends for the students’ upkeep. | <urn:uuid:8932530b-f949-4b5a-b18a-b9ac61976c47> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://www.rocapply.com/study-in-austria/about-austria/jobs-for-students-in-austria.html | 2022-01-28T18:44:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320306335.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128182552-20220128212552-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.961053 | 587 |
Yes, I know, I’m going straight to hell. But then Lord Jobs probably wasn’t going to let me in to heaven anyways!
It’s been over a week now that I’m using a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc and I still always try to spell it Experia! Unlocking the phone to use on my network was the most frustrating part of the experience so far – not the phone’s fault or FastGSM.com‘s fault either, like usual Windows had driver issues!
(Future rant: more vendor support for Linux)
This phone is sleek, like so sleek the fanboy’s here are going to wish the iPhone 5 looks like this! The concave back of the phone sits nicely in the hand; and the 4.3-inch touch-screen goes almost edge-to-edge making it feel like you’re in that Corning Glass commercial. The display uses Sony’s Bravia technology so it’s crystal clear. The other thing you notice looking at the front of the phone is there are only three buttons, not the usual four – Sony Ericsson has done away with the Search button, as they should. The right side of the phone holds the camera and volume buttons, and the top holds a diminutive – but functional – power button.
The only downside to the phone’s concave design is it leaves the excellent Exmor R 8-megapixel camera taking the brunt the contact when you put the phone down. A case would alleviate this problem but also destroy the aesthetics of the phone.
Speaking of the camera
It goes up to 8-megapixels with pre-sets for 2-megapixel and 6-megapixel in 4:3 and 16:9 formats (no 4-megapixel preset which is unfortunate since that’s the free limit at Picasa). It can also do sweep-panorama and 3D sweep-panorama.
To see the 3D photos though you need to hookup to a 3D TV using the HDMI connector. Sony has once again demonstrated they can build a phone with an excellent camera – or is it a camera with an excellent phone?!
The Xperia Arc runs the latest version of Android: 2.3 Gingerbread. And includes some interesting applications out of the box (I’ll be honest, the first thing I did after un-locking it was de-branding my phone – I’m sure it originally had some bearable applications but I’m really not interested). And Sony Ericsson has confirmed they will be upgrading all their Xperia phones to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
Taking the prize for most interesting and the prize for most frustrating is Sony’s own Timescape application and widget. This displays a timeline of events (tweets, messages, calls, etc.) on your home page. The display is beautiful and scrolls nicely forward and back. But that’s it, it’s read-only! For example, you can’t reply to or re-tweet an interesting tweet! You have to open your Twitter app, find the tweet again, and deal with it there. So what’s the point!? Sony has released the Timescape API so better implementations may be forthcoming but the precedent is not good.
Happily Sony Ericsson allows anyone to unlock the boot loader. Although it comes locked a quick visit to their web site will provide the instructions for unlocking it – after the requisite, repeated, acknowledgements that if you FUBAR your phone you’re on your own, no help from Sony if ye enter here!
Since I’ve got the phone I’ve installed a few apps that I seem to use regularly:
- Android Terminal Emulator
- ‘Cuz this is the way real unix works – no matter how small the package!
- Angry Birds
- What more do I need to say!?
- Bitdefender Carrier IQ Finder
- And I’m happy to report that Carrier IQ was NOT found on my phone!
- Real Linux in a real small package!
- Data Monitor
- Not sure why this one isn’t in there out of the box, but it’s good to know.
- Unfortunately it doesn’t support my Canadian stocks, but hopefully it will be updated soon.
- I’m going for Emperor of the World badge now!!!
- Google Books
- This ought be easier than carrying around the actual Complete Works of Shakespeare.
- Instant photo uploads is a pretty cool feature, then I just have to get them organized in PicasaWeb (auto-organization would be the coolest feature ever).
- Ever since the first computer the first thing you look for is Solitaire!
- What fun is linux without a little su action?!
- Gotta have my mocha!
- Titanium Backup
- So I can keep what I want and blast the rest to oblivion!
- Once a twit, always a twit!
What I’m missing at this point though is a good note keeping app and an official Google Tasks app. The note keeping app may end-up being Evernote, but I’m keeping an open mind for now.
My only complaint is there seems to be a quirk of the market that it doesn’t synchronize with what’s actually installed on the phone! So when I de-branded my phone I got rid of all the carrier installed cruft but it’s still in My Library in the Android Market – I’m never going to install it again so I really wish it would disappear! But there’s doesn’t seem to be any way to re-synchronize what’s on the phone with what’s in your library?!
A thousand monkeys
This is the first phone I’ve had without a physical keyboard, and though I was dreading it the default keyboard is very quick to use. My finger never leaves the surface, I just slide back and forth, changing direction (or pausing) over the key I want to type. Of course, it’s not the same as 10-finger touch-typing and occasionally my other digits want to get in on the action!
Every now and then I get the itch to develop something like a powerful spreadsheet macro or a funky iGoogle gadget. Now I’ve got a phone I can really develop for, but unfortunately the development environment is based on Java! Now, I was Java Ninja – 10 years ago! The year 2000 called, they want their programming language back!!! It’s not real Java since it’s actually running on an alternate virtual machine called Dalvik but you’ve still got to deal with everything that is Java while developing (like Eclipse). We know that inside the Googleplex they’ve got some Go apps running natively on the ARM processors of their Nexus phones, but nothing’s public yet (and Go is targeted at server-side, there’s no UI in the core packages, so I’m not even sure what they’re running on those Nexuses).

About Our Journey
Amethyst Goddess was born from the love of all things crystals and positive transformations. Most of my early adulthood was full of anxiety, and detachment from my personal power.
I always felt like life was happening to me, never for me. I didnt know what else to do but to travel take a solo trip to Costa Rica to discover myself. It eventually led me received my first reiki treatment, where I was introduced to the power of crystals to help balance my energy centers(chakras).
How Amethyst Helped Me Become My Best Self
I accepted this energy healing work of Reiki, and the practitioner placed a series of stones along my chakras, a string of seven linear energy portals. The vibrations and healing properties of crystals, she explained to me, was to help cleanse the chakras of lingering negative energy and right both body and mind again.I will never forget the sensation that had taken place when she placed a piece of amethyst right above my crown. I remember, my head feeling so light, I had space in my mind that I never felt. A sense of pure relaxation that took over my mind. It was a complete lightness and connection with the divine I never experienced. The experience was trans formative. I was able to move some of the stuck energy that was there. I remember that weight that was once on my head, lifted with a real focus on the my crown chakra, using that amethyst stone. In case you are not aware, the crown chakra is your personal connection to the divine. When you open your crown chakra, you connect with your highest, best self. It was the first time I felt clarity, I remember feeling so attracted to that stone after our session, when I returned home I stocked up on my first crystals, which of course where amethyst. My new sense of clarity led me into a new journey of spiritual work. I became a certified reiki practitioner and just have alove for my new sense of calmness and control I have over my life. My love and passion for crystals has grown as well. I include my crystals in all my spiritual work. at the time of my treatment to help meat the time. Whenever I find myself out of alignment, I always go inward to recognize what needs to be fixed and use the power of my healing crystals to help amplify that. Remember that crystals only amplify the leaving work, never solve the issue alone. Everything you want is within you. Once you surrender for the help, all the guidance from the Universe will come to you.

The reason that I started acquiring baseball cards–three decades after first doing so as a child–is their price. Thanks to what is probably a very large glut of these things, I can walk into any Dollar Tree store, find a display near the front of the store, and buy either 20 or 30 of these things for a dollar. They aren’t worth 50 cents, collectively, so I have no delusions that I’m getting any added value. What I am getting, though, is many opportunities for telling a story, which makes them a tremendous bargain to me.
The baseball career of Arquimedez Pozo is much less interesting than his name. In the long history of baseball, I’m willing to bet that no player has ever carried the name Arquimedez before. It’s a variation on the name Archimedes, one of the Greek thinkers whose contributions to our world are almost beyond comprehension. In the realms of science and mathematics, his name will live forever, and with good reason.
But I’m not a math and science guy. Whatever part of the brain that makes people think in those terms was lost on me. I’m more of an intellectual wanderer, as the scattered nature of my blog suggests. But there is one story about him that I like and, but for the Arquimedez Pozo baseball card shown above, I never would have learned it. So here it is.
Archimedes was taking a bath one day, however that was done in his Greek village of Syracuse, when something occurred to him. He noticed that when he got into the water, some of it splashed out of the bathtub. Archimedes reasoned that the volume of his body was equal to the volume of the water that he wad splashed out. The water and his body could not occupy the same space, and so the water was displaced to make way for him to get into the bath.
When Archimedes realized what this meant, he shouted “Eureka!” and ran through the streets of Syracuse in the altogether, telling people what he had discovered. That word, Eureka, is associated with him today, thousands of years after he first said it. It means that something great has been discovered, and I can’t think of a better legacy than that. The state motto of California, where gold was discovered in 1848, is “Eureka.” I can imagine whoever once found gold in California shouting out the same thing that Archimedes did.
Dozens of places in this country are named Eureka, presumably with the purpose of suggesting that something great and wonderful had been discovered in each of those places. One of these Eurekas, in Illinois, is the home of Eureka College, the alma mater of President Ronald Reagan. And if there’s a more fitting name for a college than Archimedes’ cry of discovery, you’re going to have to tell me what it is.
There were 29 other baseball cards grouped together with the one for Arquimedez Pozo, but none had the same sort of, well, Eureka! factor as his did. Googling him, and then his apparent namesake, led to a moment of great discovery for me. And that was the sign of a dollar well spent. | <urn:uuid:fc40a6a6-71ed-4714-b67f-84ba1b3e8270> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://bluebattinghelmet.wordpress.com/2013/01/05/eureka/ | 2022-01-28T19:16:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320306335.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128182552-20220128212552-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.981926 | 704 |
There’s no doubt that vert riding has seen some smaller numbers over the years between the intimidating size of the ramp and overall accessibility to vert ramps around the world, but there’s still plenty of interest in it. To inspire some of the younger riders out there, Woodward East threw demo with a few of the pros dropping in to give the campers a look at just what can be done on a vert ramp. Here’s a look at what went down during the session!
“Jamie Bestwick, Douglas Leite de Oliveira,Vince Byron, and Jorge Jovel were kind enough to throw a vert demo here at the Cloud Nine Vert Ramp. These guys are no joke when talking about catching some air.

I'm really glad to hear a few of you have stories of happy interfaith relationships, or leaving the church together, so there's always a chance. As time has gone by I realized that the opinons of others is not important to me and oddly enough those who did not originally approve have had their hearts and minds changed by the love my husband shows me, our daughter, and the members of my family. I am willing to add his religious observances to our worship as a couple and as a family, but should I also be willing to give up some of my participation in my own faith в for example by attending the temple or Sunday services slightly less often in order to spend more time as an entire family. My husband, regardless of religious affiliation, is a beloved son of our Heavenly Father who is very much worthy of my love, affection and dedication. | <urn:uuid:5a696f59-051f-4ebd-ad56-11750aa40db7> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://businesstimes.info/hairy/maria-doyle-kennedy-naked.php | 2022-01-28T18:42:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320306335.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128182552-20220128212552-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.973149 | 348 |
When you think of your retirement, what vision comes to mind? Will this be a life of leisure after work with no responsibilities? Do you think of it as the beginning of a 30 year-long weekend? Have you drawn up your bucket list yet?
Most people continue to think of retirement in purely financial terms. But if you were to ask yourself the question “Are you ready for retirement?” and were not allowed to considered finances as part of the equation at all, what would your answer be then? Do you feel you have the right attitudes, personality and outlook to get the most out of this next phase of your life?
It is far too easy to think of retirement as if it were the same as an extended holiday, and not to consider other important issues that will help you get more out of your new circumstances. Retirement planning is more about assessing how you live today, and how you want to live it in future. And Canadian international retirement planning authority Barry LaValley will tell you this sort of planning is very, very important.
Taking time to plan the rest of your life
“One of the biggest misconceptions about retirement is that it is the beginning of a new life, and that you become a ‘new’ person. Actually, retirement is a continuation of your present life. You are who you are and always have been, but your move into retirement is a very good time to sit back and assess how you think and feel about this life that you are living now and into the future.
“Some might call this “life planning,” but I prefer to think of it as “life awareness” that gets you back in touch with who you really are,” explains Barry. “If you can understand yourself, you will be far more able to develop retirement goals and plans that go beyond a bucket list, or spending winter on the Gold Coast.”
If you’d like to check just how much you really do understand about this phase of life, take this quick interactive quiz – the answers may surprise you! | <urn:uuid:4a7d9b97-da49-4ddf-8117-b8f3b83d9047> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://cambridgepartners.co.nz/life-planning-vs-life-awareness/ | 2022-01-28T19:10:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320306335.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128182552-20220128212552-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.97609 | 427 |

19 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; 20 for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God. 21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls (WEB).
The Bible clearly speaks to the human heart, from the beginning of time until now. The phrase here: “Be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger,” sounds like it was written in recent times. This is great advice and a testimony that wisdom stands the test of time.
When someone is quick to hear, it means they are willing to carefully listen and analyze what others are saying. To have biblical wisdom and keen insight, it’s paramount to learn from mature Christians so that you don’t make the same mistakes. This is why we should hear “quickly” so that we don’t fall into a trap that can suddenly destroy us.
Moreover, if one is quick to hear, they will be slow to speak. In other words, by having active ears and practicing patience, our ability to control the tongue will also flow naturally due to self-discipline. Slow to speak doesn’t mean to remain silent; it just means to listen more and talk less.
Think of Jesus. His disciples would ask him a question, and Jesus would respond back with a question. He made them “think”, talked less and listened more.
When we are quick to hear and slow to speak, we will consequently be slow to anger. Anger is an emotion that can be hard to control. However, with the help of the holy spirit, we can practice the fruit of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self-control. Allowing the holy spirit to navigate our desires will keep the tongue controlled and out of trouble.
As James clearly states, “the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.” While it is possible to be angry at sin, fight for justice, and seek honor, this type of anger is self-controlled and channeled to the proper authorities.
On the other hand, James is talking about a type of anger that is uncontrollable and unwise, which tends to happen more often than righteous anger.
Consequently, God calls us to put away all filthiness and wickedness and receive the implanted word , which is able to save our souls. When the Lord intervenes in our lives, He will give us the ability to practice self-control in our speech by listening more and talking less.
Additionally, Adonai will protect us from the carnal desires of the flesh when we meditate on Scripture. This is the way to live your best life now!
22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.
This passage needs to be memorized by the modern church. Sermons today focus on faith and love, which are obviously two good attributes to have that reflect the nature of God. However, faith is demonstrated by our actions.
That’s why James tells us not to “only” hear the word, deceiving yourselves, but actually obey God’s commandments. Therefore, while it is good to focus on God’s love and faith, those attributes must be understood within the proper context: obedience.
Jesus said, “If you love me, obey my commands.” There is no clearer statement than this. If we say we have faith but do not obey, we are like a man who looks at his natural face in the mirror and then forgets what he looks like. You see, all of us know that faith is clearly taught in God’s word.
We also know that obedience is clearly taught in Scripture, but obedience requires effort. Effort is not always fun for the natural man, and I think that’s why we like to stress “faith” more than “obedience.”
The apostle James tells us that the one who looks into the perfect law of liberty and perseveres, he will be blessed in what he does. This is imperative to grasp. The Law is not to be a burden. Jesus said, “My yoke is easy and My burden is light (Matt. 11:28).”
The Law is to set us free from our sinful nature. When one follows God’s Law and obeys it, they will be truly blessed. This means that if you say you have faith but not works, you are deceiving yourselves and your faith is not genuine. Furthermore, if you are not living for God’s perfect Law, you will not be blessed.
26 If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless. 27 Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
What I love about the apostle James is he tells you the way it really is. He doesn’t get all philosophical and technical as some of the other beloved apostles. There really is no reason to debate what James is trying to express here.
Basically, if you say you love God but you don’t practice self-control, your religion is worthless. You are just deceiving your own heart and everyone around you will notice it. Even unbelievers can tell the difference between genuine Christians and those who are pretending to be followers of Jesus.
Consequently, if you want to evangelize and bring people to the knowledge of the truth of who God is, you need to practice self-control and bridle your tongue.
The last part here is also an amazing statement: Religion that is pure and undefiled is to visit orphans and widows in distress and to keep oneself unstained from the world. I believe Paul mentions these two classes of people because they are vulnerable, needy, and aren’t able to give anything else in return.
When one devotes their time and energy to the most vulnerable, they are showing sacrificial love. This type of unconditional love is exactly who God is.
Finally, believers are to keep themselves unspotted from the world. We are to be blameless and without blemish. God calls us to a life of obedience and devotion to His kingdom rather than the carnal kingdom of this world.
We are sojourners, a peculiar people, distinct from others, and our lives should demonstrate this in front of the world. We are to be in the world, but not of the world (Rom. 12:2; 1 John 2:15).

A simple supper, just for me
What is it that makes food a treat? It needs to be out of the ordinary, something you don’t eat everyday. Where the anticipation of eating is part of the allure. With a definite element of indulgence. It needs to be right food for the right time and the right place. So here is my little Thursday night treat. A simple potato, patiently baked in the oven for a good hour. Slathered in butter, the faintest smear of mushroom pesto, finished with cheddar. The perfect supper for a crisp November night. | <urn:uuid:1c1ee854-e5fb-4238-a1a5-8f831c68a41d> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://dashdrizzledollopdevour.com/2013/11/14/a-simple-supper-just-for-me/ | 2022-01-28T18:46:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320306335.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128182552-20220128212552-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.930418 | 121 |
Printworks London has been awarded a grant from Arts Council England's Culture Recovery Fund following a complaints review.
The news broke on the venue's Twitter account, 18th December, with a series of posts explaining the decision not to award the parent organisation money had been overturned.
The application to the Arts Council Culture Recovery Fund was made by Broadwick Live, which owns Printworks, The Drumsheds and Exhibition in London, in addition to Manchester's Mayfield Depot.
However, following a review via Arts Council England's official complaints procedure we’re delighted to announce that the original decision has been overturned and we’ve now been awarded a grant.

Overall, the UK Government has ring-fenced £1.57billion for its Culture Recovery Fund, which is allocated to businesses ranging from galleries to nightclubs that have been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
Nightlife recipients have included the likes of Rye Wax, CLF Art Cafe, NTS Radio, Mint Warehouse, Soup Kitchen and The White Hotel, although the process has been mired in controversy. Many venues have felt excluded from the process despite claiming clear cultural value, and apparent caveats requesting successful applicants publicly thank the UK Government caused a social media backlash.
The Night Time Industries Association, which represents the club sector, continues to lobby for more focussed support, and issued a statement last month warning UK nightclubs are on the brink of 'extinction'. | <urn:uuid:0de975aa-655d-4ab4-b32b-d1f8090e1860> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://djmag.com/news/printworks-london-awarded-grant-culture-recovery-fund-following-complaints-review | 2022-01-28T20:06:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320306335.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128182552-20220128212552-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.961195 | 308 |

WHO does this affect?
OSHA requires employers with 250 or more employees to submit form 300A electronically by December 1, 2017.
Employers with 20-249 employees that are classified in certain industries must submit form 300A also by December 1, 2017. This includes, but is not limited to: construction, manufacturing, retailers/wholesalers, nursing and elderly care facilities, hospitals, community relief services, vocational rehabilitation, traveler accommodation, performing arts, agriculture, waste management, and the list goes on. Find that list here.
Electronic reporting requirements are based on the size of the establishment. An employer may be comprised of one or more establishments.
To determine if you need to provide OSHA with required data for an establishment, you should:
- Determine the establishment’s peak employment during the last calendar year.
- Each individual employed in the establishment at any time during the calendar year counts as one employee, including full-time, part-time, seasonal, and temporary workers.
WHAT data must I submit by December 1, 2017?
- Form 300: Log of Work Related Injuries & Illnesses
- Form 300A: Summary of Work Related Injuries & Illnesses
- Form 301: Injury & Illness Accident Report
The following information must be submitted for each required establishment. Data for each establishment should come from that establishment’s completed OSHA 300A Form.
WHEN…this is your timeline.
WHY have they made this rule?
OSHA expects this new rule will help improve workplace safety through expanded access to timely, establishment specific injury and illness information.
The rule will provide OSHA with data to assist the agency in improving allocation of compliance assistance and enforcement resources.
Behavioral science suggests that public disclosure of the data will “nudge” (their words, not ours☺️) employers to reduce work-related injuries and illnesses.
Access to establishment-specific data will enable employers to benchmark their safety and health performance against industry leaders.
HOW will electronic submission work?
On August 1, 2017, OSHA launched its Injury Tracking Application (ITA), a secure website for the electronic submission of OSHA recordkeeping information.
There are two methods to submit your injury data:
- UPLOAD DATA
For quicker and simpler submission process, the ITA offers the option to upload a CSV file contacting OSHA Form 300A data for all of your establishments at one time.
- MANUAL ENTRY
For those organizations without OSHA recordkeeping software, you will be required to complete a manual submission to OSHA. You will first need to add your establishments to the application by creating profiles for them. Once you have set up your establishments, you can then enter and submit OSHA 300A data for each one via a web form.
HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?
HAWK Advisers has partnered with a web-based injury intelligence platform to simplify the OSHA electronic reporting requirement!
Once on-boarded, you will be able to:
Automatically generate the following:
- OSHA 301 Incident Report
- OSHA 300 Log
- OSHA 300 Summary

We look forward to putting this system to work for you:
- Cloud Based Platform: 100% Cloud based with no installs needed
- Mobile Ready: Works great on Apple and Android platforms
- Print Required OSHA Documents: Easily generate OSHA 300, 300A, and 301

Often called “German Potato Salad” – Warm Potato Salad is basically a version of the popular side dish that doesn’t have mayonnaise involved and it is typically served warm. It is a very simple – yet very tasty – accompaniment to burgers, steaks, sausages, grilled chicken, all sorts of backyard BBQ dishes. It is also a great dish to bring to a pot luck – as the flavors just get deeper the longer it sits – and with the no-mayo, makes it more table stable!
There are lots and lots of variations of Warm Potato Salad out there – some have dill, some use tons of fresh parsley, some have peas (bleck!). But mostly they all come down to red potatoes, bacon, green onions and a vinaigrette. The vinaigrette is the real key – and making sure you put the bacon grease into it is paramount! You want to have that delicious smoky flavor all throughout.
I prefer to use Dijon mustard, but you could also use a grainy mustard too – just don’t use yellow mustard. It just doesn’t work out really. You need that bite of the a real mustard to really bring things together. I also like to use Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother – for the added nutritional value. And fresh garlic is important too! Just using garlic powder doesn’t give you the right bite or flavor.
My potato salad was served alongside some pulled pork sliders that I smothered in my homemade Bourbon BBQ Sauce. The pork roast was slow cooked with a few sweet onions, paprika, salt, pepper, parsley and Worcestershire sauce – at least 8 hours. I found these slider buns at Fred Meyer (Kroger) – but I believe Franz and some other big bread companies make them too.
Now Let’s Get Cookin’!
Warm Potato Salad
- 2 lb Red Potato cut in ½-inch chunks
- 1 qt Chicken Broth
- 4 Scallions chopped
- ½ lb Bacon cut in ½-inch pieces
- 4 Garlic Cloves minced
- ¼ cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- ¼ cup Dijon Mustard
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 1 tsp Parsley
- Prepare all of the ingredients. Start water boiling for potatoes.
- In large pot over medium-high heat, add potatoes and chicken broth. Add water to make sure potatoes are submerged. Cook for 15 minutes. Drain in colander then return to pot away from heat.
- In a frying pan over medium-high heat, add bacon. Cook until crispy and remove to paper towel covered plate. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
- In a small bowl, combine garlic, bacon grease, vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper and parsley.
- Add scallions, bacon and vinegar mixture to the potatoes. Toss to coat. Serve warm.

According to Punxsutawney Phil, Spring is near. This means it’s almost time for everyone’s favorite event, ‘Spring Cleaning’.
One might ask how does photography have anything to do with Spring Cleaning? With the likes of Ebay and Craig’s List to sell our unwanted items, having tabletop photography skills may in fact become your best friend.Here are a few tips on how to create images of your old unwanted items so you can make them look awesome for your Ebay and Craig’s List posts (ads) using tabletop photography techniques.
Let’s start with the essentials for tabletop photography. A good digital camera, preferably a DSLR, but a compact point and shoot will be fine as long as it has a macro capabilities. Lenses are very important, and having a great Macro Lens will be imperative for getting close images of tiny keepsakes like rings, earrings, coins, stamps, etc… You will also need a portable light table shooting kit such as Promaster’s SystemPRO Portable Shooting Kit, SystemPro LiteTent or SystemPro Lite House, Black and white foam core to be used as reflectors and most importantly a good tripod.
- KNOW YOUR CAMERA SETTINGS: Most digital camera owners place the camera in Program Mode and let the camera’s computer do everything for them. To create great images you need to learn what all the settings on your camera do. Imagine you can control what’s in focus. Selective focusing by adjusting your aperture to a wider setting, which gives you shallow depth of field. This comes in handy when shooting things like food, which looks most attractive when only a portion is in focus. Learn to white-balance your shots also, either while shooting or on the computer
- EXPOSURE: When photographing products you are selling you want to show as much detail as possible in the objects. This means you will need to shoot with smaller apertures.
- STABILITY: If you’re serious about creating the best possible images, you should consider investing in a tripod. Most tabletop photography assignment require a smaller aperture setting.; you will be using lengthy exposures and will require the aid of a good tripod. You should also consider either a cable release or a wireless shutter release to minimize movement.
- COMPOSITION: Remember you are trying to flatter your subject so it sells, so its good to shoot multiple angles. Sometimes the difference between high angle versus a lower angle can make all the difference in your image. Think about what your keepsake looks like and how you think it will be most appealing to it’s future owner. Check out LarmonU for an upcoming class or for private mentoring sessions if you are interested in learning about composition theory or more about any photographic related subject.
- TECHNIQUES: Sometimes we need to add or subtract light from and image. One of the most useful and inexpensive thing you can get is a Promaster 5 in 1 Reflector Disc. This is extremely helpful with working with larger objects filling in darker areas of the image. Ask a family member or friend to hold it or put your camera on a tripod and go hands-free. With small items in a tabletop situation you can also use small pieces of black or white foam core to add or subtract light to enhance your image.
- SHOW DETAILS: No matter what you’re photographing, whether it’s a piano or a old ring or coin, get as close as possible to show detail. From a distance things look ordinary. But zoom in, and all of a sudden it’s a masterpiece. | <urn:uuid:22613de6-8f48-4b84-84c6-9db38d4a99e2> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://larmonu.larmonstudios.com/tabletop-photography-spring-cleaning/ | 2022-01-28T18:32:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320306335.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128182552-20220128212552-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.915903 | 755 |

Are you that one busy person whose schedule is always full from sunrise to sunset? Well, events in the morning and in the evening might be different, and yes, might need different attires. That is why today’s daily lookbook is here, to inspire you on how to change your look from day to night. Enjoy and do not forget to comment which look is your favorite!
The main key to master the day to night look is changing the accessories, the simplest way is changing them to dark colors with some bling, such as black and gold. Also, do not forget to wear heels to make it more formal (since these looks require some joggers and a t-shirt dress). Oh so stylish.
You are a sophisticated career woman who works hard during the day yet still want to mingle with friends at night. Once again, change the accessories. Change the heels to more strappy sexy heels, the work bag to small evening bag, and put either bold earrings or a bold necklace. This is one of the ways you can balance your career and social life. Haha..
Who says night looks always involve some heels? Well, not me. For example, you are a full-time student and your friends invite you to go to the movie theater or dinner or just hanging out at night. Simple, just swap your blue jeans to a fitted skirt. Keep the sneakers and the backpack (a smaller one is cuter), also put a little bit of bling. And viola, you are ready to go. Adorable, chic, and the most important is comfy. | <urn:uuid:a0f82c4b-2d27-46a2-825f-8d1f58db36e6> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://millennial-attires.com/2017/04/24/lookbook-4-day-to-night-expert/ | 2022-01-28T18:30:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320306335.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128182552-20220128212552-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.960273 | 328 |

I picked this up off craigslist specifically for an acquaintance in New Orleans a while back. Sadly he had some bill issues and had to re-sell it. How often will you come across something this Mod-tastic?!
Right, made by Brother. The typewriter manufacturer? How weird is that? This all
in one has a turntable, AM - FM - Stereo, and an 8 track built in. It sounded pretty
good too. Especially when I hooked up those white B & W Rock Solid bookshelf (or
wall mount) speakers.
Can you believe how good the condition of the cover is? This is obviously from the
'70s which makes it at least 30 years old and probably closer to 40! The guy I
bought it from had it out in his garage. It's a miracle it never got broke or seriously
I almost wish I had kept it, but the guy it went to is a much more serious collector of
cool audio! He also got two pair of those Zenith Barrel speakers from me. The
second set was near mint. I found them at the Big Bend Antique Gallery and felt
really bad since they looked SO much better than the first set that I found for him. I
ended up giving him the second set since he was kind enough to put us up in his
apartment for a couple days last spring.
Don't the B & W Rock Solid speakers look like they were made to go with the
Brother? They were produced perhaps 20-30 years apart! I have another set of
the B & W speakers that I'm using now. They aren't just cool looking, they handle
a lot of power and sound pretty good. Some day I hope to find a nice (and cheap)
set of Bose 901s and a vintage Bang and Olufsen stereo to power them! | <urn:uuid:4a11ead8-8044-479c-ab4f-63bfbfa3f40c> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://mistermodtomic.blogspot.com/2011/02/more-mod-stereo-coolness-from-days-gone.html | 2022-01-28T20:35:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320306335.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128182552-20220128212552-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.985956 | 439 |
The world has gone mobile and the US is leading the way. It’s estimated that that the number of smartphone users alone topped 257 million in the States in 2018. That means three-quarters (74%) of households now boast at least one mobile device. And in this new digital world, it’s mobile applications that really matter. They’re a one-click gateway to our favorite videos, live messaging, email, banking, social media and much more.
There are said to be around 2.8 million of these apps on the official Google Play Store today. But unfortunately, where there are users, there are also hackers looking to capitalize. And one of their favorite ways to make money is by tricking you into downloading a malicious app they’ve sneaked onto the marketplace.
Most recently, 42 such apps had to be removed after being installed eight million times over the period of a year, flooding victims’ screens with unwanted advertising. This is just the tip of the iceberg. As more of us turn to mobile devices as our primary internet gateway, the bad guys will follow suit. Trend Micro blocked over 86 million mobile threats in 2018, and we can expect this figure to increase into the future.
So how can you protect your devices and your data from hackers?
The latest bunch of 42 apps are from a class of malicious software known as adware. This follows a previous discovery by Trend Micro earlier this year of a further 85 adware-laden apps downloaded eight million times. Cyber-criminals fraudulently make money by displaying unwanted ads on the victim’s device. In the meantime, the user has to contend with annoying pop-ups which can run down the device’s battery and eat up computing resources. Some even silently gather user information.
Ones to watch
Unfortunately, it’s increasingly difficult to spot malicious apps on the Play Store. A popular tactic for hackers is to hide their malware in titles which impersonate legitimate applications. A recent two-year study found thousands of such counterfeits on the Play Store, exposing users unwittingly to malware. Banking apps are a particularly popular type of title to impersonate as they can provide hackers with highly lucrative log-ins to open users’ accounts.
Some malware, like the recently disclosed Agent Smith threat, works by replacing all the legitimate apps on a user’s device with malicious alter-egos.
So, as we hit 2020, what other threats hidden in legitimate-seeming apps should mobile users be looking out for?
- More intrusive adware.
- Cryptocurrency mining malware. This will run in the background, eating up your device battery and computing power. Trend Micro noted a 450% increase in infections from 2017 to 2018.
- Banking Trojans designed to harvest your log-ins so hackers can get their hands on your savings. Our detections of this malware soared 98% between 2017-18.
- These attacks have evolved from simple screen lockers to malware designed to encrypt all the files on your device.
- Premium rate services. Some malware will covertly text or call premium rate SMS numbers under the control of the hacker, thus making them money and costing you potentially significant sums. ExpensiveWall malware, for example, was found in 50 Google Play apps and downloaded millions of times, charging victims’ accounts for fake services.
- Information theft. Some malware will allow hackers to eavesdrop on your conversations, and/or hoover up your personal data, including phone number, email address, and account log-ins. This data can then be sold on the dark web and used in follow-on identity fraud attempts.
Is Google helping?
The Android ecosystem has always and remains to be a bigger threat than iOS because it’s relatively easier for developers to get their applications onto the official marketplace. Now, it’s true that Google carries out some vetting of the apps on its Play Store and it is getting better and quicker at spotting and blocking malware. It says the number of rejected app submissions grew by over 55% in 2018 while app suspensions increased by over 66%.
However, Google’s Play Protect, which is pre-installed on Android devices, has garnered less than favorable reviews. This anti-malware solution is intended to scan for malicious apps to prevent you downloading them. However, it has received poor reviews for its “terrible malware protection.”
In fact, in independent tests run in July by German organization AV-TEST, Google Play Protect found just 44% of the 3,347 “real-time” online malware threats, and just 55% of the 3,433 malware samples that were collected in the previous month. According to Tom’s Guide, “these scores are all well below the industry averages, which were always 99.5% or above in both categories for all three rounds.”
How do I stay safe?
So how can mobile users ensure their personal data and devices are secure from the growing range of app-based threats?
Consider the following:
- Only visit official app stores. Even though Google Play has a malware problem, it is more secure than third-party app stores. In fact, you are 23 times more likely to install a potentially harmful application (PHA) outside Play, according to Google.
- Ensure you’re on the latest operating system version.
- Do not root your device as this can expose it to threats.
- Be cautious. If the app is requesting an excessive number of permissions, it may be malicious.
- Install on-device AV from a reputable third-party provider like Trend Micro.
How Trend Micro Mobile Security helps
Trend Micro Mobile Security (TMMS) offers customers comprehensive anti-malware capabilities via its real-time Security Scan function. Security Scan alerts you to any malware hidden in apps before they are installed and suggests legitimate versions. It can also be manually run on devices to detect and remove malicious apps, including ransomware, that may already have been installed.
To use the manual scan, simply:
1. Tap the Security Scan panel in the TMMS Console. The Security Scan settings screen appears, with the Settings tab active by default.
2. Tap Scan Now to conduct a security scan. The result appears.
3. In the example shown, “Citibank” has been detected as a fake banking app, installed on the device before Mobile Security was installed. Apps are recommended for you to remove or to trust.
4. Tap Uninstall to uninstall the fake app. A Details screen defines the security threats.
5. Tap Uninstall A popup will ask if you want to uninstall the app.
6. Tap Uninstall once more to uninstall it. The app will uninstall.
7. If there are more potentially unwanted apps, tap the panel for Apps Removal Recommended to show the list of apps recommended for removal. The Removal Recommended list will show apps to Remove or Trust.
8. You can configure settings via Security Scan > Settings This will allow you to choose protection strength (Low, Normal, and High).
9. In Settings, check the Pre-Installation Scan, which is disabled by default, to block malware from Google Play before it’s installed. It sets up a virtual private network (VPN) and enables the real-time scan.
Among its other features, Trend Micro Mobile Security also:

Understanding the difference between mastery goals and performance goals will boost motivation and focus on long-term growth.
The more time I spend thinking about how to improve company growth, and build businesses that are more impactful, profitable and sustainable, the more I realise the importance of understanding the psychology of the people running those companies. Only then can we set goals for growth that are realistic and motivating. And that’s what’s required to make the right investments in marketing, the team and operations.
There’s a very valuable concept in the psychology of motivation, to distinguish between two types of goals: mastery goals and performance goals. Company leaders can make use of this to improve their growth strategy and increase the motivation of the team, and ultimately build more successful businesses.
There’s a right place for each type of goal, but an effective combination of mastery and performance goals is what improves growth rates and profitability.
The two different types of goals
Mastery goals focus on learning and building on the existing strengths of the business. They relate to the processes and knowledge you need to run a lasting, profitable company. Performance goals, on the other hand, are those more easily measurable indicators of financial success.
What are they?
- Profitability of growth marketing: the knowledge how to acquire and retain customers profitably
- Positive unit economics at a given scale of the business
- Resilience: the level of organic growth, customer loyalty and referral rates
- Revenue or customer growth
- Market share
- Amount of funding raised
Internalised business goals improve motivation and focus
One big difference between the two is that hitting performance goals relies on people outside the business to do things that are partly out of your control. It ultimately needs a bit of luck for a customer to choose your product over a competitor, or an investor to recognise the strength of your growth framework.
In contrast, mastery goals are ‘internalised’ goals, in that you can work towards them from within the team and business. That’s why they have the potential to drive motivation and focus on the right set of marketing and growth activities.
Prioritise the milestones for growth
Mastery goals relate directly to the milestones the business really has to hit in order to survive and get to the next level of development. For example, proving scalability to raise follow-on funding, improving the product to a point where you can take on external partners, etc.
Compared to picking sales or valuation targets that seem somewhat arbitrary, choosing meaningful Mastery goals will make them more tangible to everyone involved. Again, this increases team motivation and the likelihood of achieving them.
This will also keep you focused on improving the things that’ll make your business thrive in the long-term, such as your knowledge of your customers and the effectiveness of your growth framework.
The right combination of both types of goals
Of course there’s a lot of pressure on founders and leaders to show progress in the short-term. Which is why setting good performance goals still matters. This will help you get very clear on the minimum level of revenue or customer growth you need to keep the business alive.
You can check progress in commercial terms against your performance goals, and they’re just required to communicate to investors or partners. It’s also very easy to measure and keep track of your key financial performance metrics, compared to those related to mastery goals.
When building the right combination of mastery and performance goals, it’s usually best to prioritise mastery goals, but keep in mind how they need to translate into financial performance goals. Improving your marketing, customer insights and brand have to lead to better financials, otherwise they’re not the right goals or not specific enough.
Long-term mastery and short-term performance
A lot of companies struggle with setting long-term targets. They might try to predict their performance too far into the future which just makes it seem unrealistic. Or instead, they pick some big numbers based on what investors might want to see or what competitors have done. In either case they’re missing out on having a set of long-term goals that really focus the day-to-day and motivate the team.
Mastery goals make for much better long-term goals. They don’t need complicated models or tenuous assumptions, but instead focus the team and company on improving the business fundamentals.
You can then break these down into a set of short-term goals, usually for the next 3-6 months, including some mastery and some performance goals. It’s much easier to project your customer or revenue growth for a few months than a few years. Just make sure to still prioritise learning and improvement, rather than just trying to show increasing financial metrics. They’re much more likely to happen when you focus on the fundamentals. | <urn:uuid:240cce08-a3b8-4842-98c2-70d9be63411f> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://newtonbell.com/a-better-way-to-set-long-term-business-goals-combining-two-types-of-goals | 2022-01-28T19:31:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320306335.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128182552-20220128212552-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.954854 | 1,008 |

Long noted for its canneries, Bridgeville (pop. 1,436) still has a factory that makes scrapple. A gray, rock-faced cement brick was popular here and elsewhere in Sussex County in the early twentieth century, the railroad allowing easy distribution of such products. Several houses of that period are interesting for showing up-to-date architectural styles and materials, for example, Cannon House at 106 Main Street, in Arts and Crafts style with wide eaves. The Police Department in the former Baltimore Trust Company building (1903–1904; 302 Market St.) emulates the bold architectural style of Frank Furness and has metal cresting on the roof ridge; later, the diminutive building got a Beaux-Arts limestone facade in a stylish updating. The Gothic Revival St. Mary's Episcopal Church (1888–1889; 21 William St.) was built of inexpensive red brick with a trim of terra-cotta and yellow brick. A somewhat incongruous addition of 1969 partly surrounds the church and envelops its altar end. The Presbyterian Church of 1866 is now the town library (210 Market St.).

From the time you get up until the time you sleep, your mind retains sending and receiving messages by means of a community of nerve connections, that are referred to as “brainwaves”. Every brainwave is linked with completely different actions like sleep, consideration, music, rest and so forth. These brainwaves are categorised into Alpha, Beta, Theta, Delta and Gamma rays.
Alpha Brainwaves Alpha brainwaves sign relaxed consciousness. They’re thought-about because the brainwaves of meditation as they enhance creativity and are linked with optimistic emotions and tranquility. When an individual is awake, however not intently targeted on one thing, he’s in Alpha. That is the perfect state for intuitive considering.
Beta brainwaves sign wakefulness. They’re linked with focus and attentiveness. These brainwaves are used to unravel issues, so they’re additionally linked to emotions of trepidation and anxiousness. When you’re awake, you might be in Beta. Meditation slows down Beta brainwaves, calms you down, makes you much less anxious and helps you deal with the opposite brainwaves.
Theta waves sign a deep state of meditation or hypnosis. Folks in gentle sleep are additionally in Theta state. They’re linked with goals and brief time period reminiscence. They enable you to recall details and are extra energetic in kids than adults. An individual in Theta isn’t fully conscious of what’s going on round.
Delta waves sign a deep slumber with none goals. That is thought-about because the slowest brainwave sample, shifting at 1.5 to four cycles per second. Some individuals enter delta when they’re meditating. Solely skilled practitioners can attain attain delta waves whereas nonetheless remaining awake.
Gamma waves sign the flexibility to narrate and course of data. It will increase reminiscence energy and maintains sharpness in senses. Excessive gamma waves make an individual extra optimistic, energetic and content material. It additionally makes individuals clever than others, they can be attained by means of meditation. Meditation helps you might have a management over these brainwaves. After we meditate, completely different meditation methods affect mind waves which might be chargeable for completely different actions.
Nonetheless, meditation isn’t the one technique to enhance focus and attentiveness. There are completely different strategies that assist additionally assist us on this goal. Some of the frequent amongst them is “Visualization”.
In visualization methods, an individual is requested to make use of his creativeness to create psychological pictures that an teacher asks him to do. This will increase mind exercise and brings immense deal with work.
Each particular person is completely different from the opposite, in order that they want completely different methodology or mixture of strategies to pay attention extra.

Ed. Note.: This 101, by Vishal Rakhecha, is a part of the NALSAR Tech Law Forum Editorial Test 2016.
The Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Act, 2016 or simply the Aadhaar Act passed in the Lok Sabha to facilitate the transfer of benefits and services to the individuals. This is done by giving them Unique Identification Numbers. At first glance Aadhaar seems like a brilliant scheme to ensure that the tax payer’s money does not end in the wrong hands. But the provisions in the Act raise some serious concerns about the way it can be used by the state to encroach upon the right to privacy of individuals. Apart from this the centrally maintained system to save the data in the Central Identities Data Repository makes it vulnerable to cyber-attacks. The huge uproar against the government is also because of the way Aadhaar was passed, as a money bill, despite the fact that it does not qualify for the same.
According to the ‘law’ having an Aadhaar card is not mandatory. But, almost all government schemes today require it from availing a subsidy on LPG to applying for a passport. This continuing trend of using Aadhaar cards as a proof of identity has been spilling into the private sector, since the government allows private entities to use Aadhaar as an identity proof, from getting a mobile number to wanting to sign up on matrimonial sites, it becomes impossible to conduct your day to day activities freely without having an Aadhaar card.
Despite the fact that the government is practically forcing the citizens to get an Aadhaar card, they place their trust on the regime to have some amount of reasonable standard in securing their data. To begin with the entire concept of using bio-metric scans being used is not fool-proof and there have been cases where the fingerprints of the registrar have been registered combined with the fact that unlike passwords and pass codes, bio-metrics cannot be re-issued.
The data collected is not sufficiently protected, say for example the fact that the Aadhaar numbers are not cryptographically encrypted and are available in a manner readable by humans. This gives scope for people to easily identify the individuals and the chances of identity theft also increase due to this. The passwords and PIN are stored in the form of hashes but the biometric data is stored in the original form. All the information about the keys and hashes in the UIDAI makes internal trust a very important basis for the protection of the data. This is clearly troubling as the people inside the system can access the data anytime they want and also makes it very easy for someone once inside to tamper with the records. There is no set procedure to carry out data inspection making the process extremely arbitrary.
The fact that Aadhaar is not able to protect the privacy of the data giver is aggravated by the way the data is maintained. The centralised system makes it even more susceptible to attacks as these systems have been shown to have inherent flaws when it comes to protecting privacy. The Aadhar in particular is again more harmful as there are no justifications or reasons as to why there is a need for the centralised database. The fact that the data is localised makes it the ideal target for hackers and foreign governments. Apart from the fact that this system is more vulnerable, it is also much costlier than say a smartcard (which is followed in the UK) or an offline biometric reader. These systems are more advantageous as they are cheaper, do not require real-time access and are safer compared to the centralised system.
Now coming to the Act itself which has several problems, while it is true that Act makes it mandatory to use the information only in the way specified when taking the ‘consent’ of the data giver. Firstly, we need to understand that most people who apply for the scheme are people who have little or no knowledge about the information and have no idea about the consequences of doing so could be. Even if we ignore this fact, the Act provides for section 33(1) which allows for the disclosure for the information pursuant to the order of a district judge or above and section 33(2) which allows any officer of the rank of Joint secretary and above the right to order the disclosure of the information in the interest of national security without the consent of the person.
It is extremely important to understand that an Act that was made to ensure that the money transferred from the Consolidated Fund of India to the person who deserves the money gives the government so much power to actually be able to conduct surveillance on the people is clearly problematic. This is because one, there is a blatant absence of self-imposed checks on the executive power in the mode of ensuring that the government in the way as to what constitutes a situation of national security. Two, under what circumstances the judges can authorise the revelation of the data has not been specified. This gives immense power to these bodies to swoop down and let the government use the data in whatever manner they deem fit.
Though the Act has several benefits but the very hasty manner in which it was passed and the fact that there is a lack of self-restriction on the way the state can use the information. It is understandable that there are certain circumstances which necessitate the government to monitor individuals but unless it is done in a manner which gives the state immense power in terms of the ability to clamp down on dissent whenever it wants to. This is the very reason that there is such a massive amount of criticism of the Aadhaar Act. There is still scope for amendments to be made to the law if the legislature wants to maintain the trust with the civil society.

The regional health agency (ARS), Grand Est, announced that a twice-vaccinated woman tested positive for the Omicron variant Thursday in Haut-Rhin. This is the second case detected in mainland France.
The major regional health agency (ARS) confirmed Thursday that it had detected a second case of the Omicron variant in the French capital of a resident of Haut-Rhin.
This is a woman between the ages of 40 and 50, who tested positive for Covid-19 when she returned from South Africa on November 26. Her symptoms were at the time of the test. She has been in solitary confinement since her return to France.
This person has a full vaccination schedule, ARS Grand Est said in a press release, having received his second dose of the vaccine last July. A small number of high-risk contacts were identified, and their results were negative. However, they were placed in solitary confinement.
The first case in Sein et al. Marne
Earlier on Thursday, it was announced that the first case of Omicron had been detected in the French capital, in Seine-et-Marne, of a man returning from his residence in Nigeria. He tested positive on November 25, when he got off the plane, and sequencing revealed he was a carrier of the type.
In France, the first case of the Omicron variant was discovered last Tuesday in Reunion. He is a 53-year-old man who traveled to Mozambique and made a stop in South Africa.
On Wednesday, government spokesman Gabriel Attal said ’13 cases suspected of being du variant Omicron’ in France. All of these cases were in the process of sequencing. “So let’s not be deceived or mocked, there are likely to be cases in our territory in the coming hours or days,” he said.

Ernest Hemingway's time in Paris could well be summed up by his time at the Ritz. Famously camped out at the hotel's bar with F. Scott Fitzgerald and other luminaries of the time, he even "liberated" the spot upon the Nazi's retreat from the city. It's now named after him, in so small part thanks to his friendship with Charles Ritz. Son of hotelier Cesar Ritz, Charles became close with Hemingway during his stays and gifted him a pocket watch upon his fourth wedding in Cuba. This pocket watch, to be exact. Made by L. Leroy & Cie., circa 1920, it has a 53mm case and a manual movement with a split-seconds chronograph — handy for another of Hemingway's passions, horse racing. It will be accompanied by a second Vacheron Constantin pocket watch belonging to Ritz and a signed photograph of Ritz in a gilt frame when it goes up for auction at Christie's Important Watches and American Icons sale. | <urn:uuid:a9d633af-d42f-4637-b78a-24dbc2417b1b> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://uncrate.com/ernest-hemingways-pocket-watch/ | 2022-01-28T18:50:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320306335.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128182552-20220128212552-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.967887 | 214 |
Fellows from around the U.S. took part in Michigan Tech’s Regional Meetup in October 2018.
The Michigan Tech “Colorful Creations” Regional Meetup set out to combine the dramatic landscape of fall foliage with two days immersed in the community innovation culture. The Tech Fellows and faculty hosted 20 participants from seven schools for the Meetup, held October 19-20, 2018.
The group certainly got the culture immersion. The Fall colors, not as much. Michigan Tech is commonly known as the snowiest college in the United States, and the school lived up to that title over the event weekend. Fortunately, the Michigan Tech UIF team has learned the value of adaptability through hosting many events, and the group did get to see some Fall leaves before it snowed.
“From something as minimal as an activity taking longer than expected to something as large as getting a blizzard on Saturday morning, we learned that, while we had a plan in place, it was and never will be ‘finalized’,” said Magann Dykema, a Fellow and one of the event organizers.
During the event, participants took part in Tech’s Innovation Week, visited The Alley Makerspace (created by Fellows and faculty), learned about the activities of the six generations of Tech Fellows, and applied design thinking to a real world challenge — figuring out ways to help Michigan Tech’s community on the Keweenaw Peninsula recover from severe flooding.
“We wanted to not only showcase the work that we have done here, but also the community we live in,” said Magann. “We felt that it was important to share with everyone how the flooding impacted the community. Additionally, we brought in some of our key supporters at Michigan Tech to help with the event so that we could show them how grateful we are for their support.”
Attendees had many opportunities to connect with one another in addition to learning new skills and mindsets.
“It was such a great experience to interact with more of the UIF community,” said Rachel Kolb, a Fellow at Michigan Tech and one of the event organizers. “Everyone was so willing to jump in and participate, all the while bringing tons of enthusiasm to the table no matter what we were doing! My favorite moment of the Meetup was coming together to create crafts using rocks we found on the shores of Lake Superior. While creating some abstract art, we reflected as a group on we have done as Fellows, shared our passions, and even some of our struggles.”

Genetics is fundamental to all areas of biological study, as genes carry the information that largely determines who we are and how we function in the environment.
The BSc Genetics will teach you to understand how genes work in individuals and populations. There is a particular emphasis on molecular genetics, but the course covers a wide range of topics such as classical medical genetics, evolutionary and population genetics, animal breeding and the genetic manipulation of animal and plant genomes, and so on.
The first year, you will focus on basic knowledge of genetics, including how genes function in individuals and populations, and how cutting-edge programmes such as the Human Genome Project are revolutionising the way we approach biological questions.
Year 2 is designed to provide fundamental basic knowledge in preparation for specialisation in genetics in years 3 and 4.
Year 4 also includes a three-month laboratory project, during which you will receive training in the use of genetic approaches to solve a contemporary question or problem in biology. These projects are based in the departments that contribute to the Genetics course.

You might think that if you’re getting married in a beautiful beach wedding that you’re limited as far as shoe options. However, there are many choices for the perfect pair of bridal shoes that will work at a beach wedding. Here are 5 great beach wedding shoe possibilities:
While regular high heels aren’t the best option for a beach wedding, wedge heels will do a wonderful job. You won’t sink as badly in the sand and they’re available in a huge variety of colors and styles. It’s easy to choose a pair that will work wonderfully with your wedding dress.
Bridal Flip Flops
Bridal flip flops are becoming more and more popular for outdoor weddings. They’re available in a wide range of colors and styles, and can really look very elegant even though flip flops are a more casual style.
Choosing flats is a wonderful decision, and because there are so many different styles and colors, it’s easy to find something you’ll love. They’re comfortable and will work well in the sand on the beach.
If you don’t want to go with flip flops but you want a nice relaxed pair of beautiful bridal shoes, wedding sandals are a great way to go. These are different in that they hook around your feet rather than just going between your toes like flip flops. They work really well for the beach.
Barefoot Bridal Jewelry
Another choice that is becoming very popular is the barefoot bridal jewelry. These are super cute and are designed to be worn without shoes. They’re made from a range of different materials, from hemp and seashells to sterling silver and cubic zirconias.
Using these fun options, choose a great pair of bridal shoes for your big day! | <urn:uuid:2f1b3814-eea7-4bd9-b6d1-ff25bc875a24> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.beachbride.com/tag/dyed-wedding-shoes/ | 2022-01-28T18:49:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320306335.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128182552-20220128212552-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.939828 | 398 |
Repentance is defined as “to turn from sin and dedicate oneself to the amendment of one’s life.” Repentance is a choice that believers make to apologize for the sins that we have made, and ask God's forgiveness and aid in turning away from future sin. What does the Bible say about repentance? Is it necessary to have a repentant to be a Christian? Let us see what God Himself breathed into the living Word.
What is repentance?
It might be easier to start off by understanding what repentance isn't. First, repentance is not an acceptance of punishment for a wrongdoing. The voluntary suffering of punishment for sin and does not necessarily involve a change of character or conduct. People who willingly go to jail are doing penance, but this act does not mean that their guilt has been forgiven because they may not have learned anything from their actions.
Second, repentance is not remorse. Judas was remorseful over his sin of betrayal of the Son of God, but his lack of regret led to suicide instead of to God, because remorse is not true repentance. Third, repentance is not self-condemnation. You may hate yourself for your sinfulness, but self-condemnation only opens wider the wounds of guilt and despair. We should hate our sins, not ourselves.
The Bible says, “There will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance” (Luke 15:7). There are three elements in genuine repentance. First, there is conviction. You must know what is right before you can know what is wrong.
The second element of true repentance is contrition. The Bible says, “The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit” (Psalm 34:18). Contrition, or “godly sorrow,” as it is called in 2 Corinthians 7:10, is not a shallow sentiment nor empty emotion. It is a sincere regret over past sins and an deep desire to walk in a new path of righteousness.
Third, repentance carries with it the idea of growth through change: changing your mind, changing your attitude, and changing your ways. If we are truly repentant, our will is brought into action and we will make a reversal of direction. God, seeing that we are in earnest, gives us the gift of eternal life.
Is repentance necessary?
Ezekiel 18:21-22 says “But if a wicked person turns away from all his sins that he has committed and keeps all my statutes and does what is just and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him; for the righteousness that he has done he shall live.” These are God's own word spoken to Ezekiel.
We have such a great God that will forgive us for all of our past sins, as long as we repent. We don't have to do any acts of service to get back into God's good favor. We only have to admit our wrongdoings. It is only that we acknowledge that we have done wrong and apologize to God and ask forgiveness of Him. We have assurance that we will live eternally with our Father in heaven when we embrace a repentant heart. It's necessary if we want to live with our Father in Heaven once we pass.
In order to please God, we must learn how to repent of sin and change how we think. To do this we must recognize the superiority of God’s mind, acknowledge personal guilt, live by God’s Word and turn from our thoughts and ways.
Are any sins not forgivable, even if we repent?
There is one sin that is not forgivable called the “unpardonable sin” or “blasphemy of the Holy Spirit”. This can be found in Matthew 12:31-32, as it says, “Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.” Do not panic if you think you committed this sin. Chances are, if you are worried it means you haven't. A person who has committed this sin will never feel God drawing them to Him. A person who has committed this sin will grow in rebellion towards God.
Repentance is a must in every believer’s life. Repentance is our way of apologizing and saying, “I’m sorry,” to our merciful and gracious Father in heaven. The Bible is a great guidebook on learning what repentance truly means, and how we should go about asking for it. God knows what’s in our hearts and will see that we are genuinely sorry for turning our backs on Him. | <urn:uuid:5dd19414-9850-4844-ba38-dfb39e7bb7f8> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.beliefnet.com/faiths/christianity/what-does-the-bible-say-about-repentance.aspx | 2022-01-28T19:29:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320306335.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128182552-20220128212552-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.957712 | 1,041 |

Metro riders traveling from Long Beach to downtown Los Angeles — and vice versa — have, since January, faced freeway traffic aboard shuttle buses while the agency’s oldest light-rail line, the Blue Line, has undergone renovation work.
But that’s set to change next month, when the new and improved line will fully reopen to the public.
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced Tuesday, Sept. 10, the 22-mile line will open in “late October,” after the nine-month, $350-million project is completed. A specific date will be announced “following train testing,” a Metro statement said.
When the route reopens, it will be dubbed the “A Line,” as part of a system-wide move from color designations to letters.
“We would like to sincerely thank the public for its patience,” Metro CEO Phillip Washington said in a statement, “during our construction work to improve one of our nation’s busiest light rail lines.”
The Blue Line, which first opened in 1990, was in sore need of a revamp, Metro officials said before the work began.
“What we are trying to do with the Blue Line,” Ted Lindholm, executive officer of capital projects for Metro, said last year, “is take a 28-year-old workhorse and improve it, turn it into a good state of repair.”
The project required a shutdown of the southern half from January through May followed by a five-month shuttering of the northern half.
The revamp included installing four additional crossover tracks to reduce interruptions, upgrading the control-signal system and replacing certain segments of the tracks.
Every station will also have new touchscreens, which riders can use to learn more about the Metro network, and access schedules and maps.
The Willowbrook/Rosa Parks Station in South Los Angeles — the only stop that has remained closed since January — has received a full face lift, including a dedicated drop-off location, more bus bays, a new plaza, a Metro bike hub, and a customer service and security center.
Pat McKelvey, a senior principal at Stantec, the project’s architect, said last year he hopes the station will become a celebrated part of the neighborhood.
“It’s an underserved community that’s been hit pretty hard, and the whole idea is to leverage this public investment and give it back to the community,” he said. “We’re pretty excited to be able to part of helping to transform a community.” | <urn:uuid:c377bea7-d247-4e4f-a935-9ccae1d6b753> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.dailynews.com/2019/09/10/metro-blue-line-running-from-downtown-l-a-to-long-beach-set-to-fully-reopen-in-late-october-as-a-line/ | 2022-01-28T20:46:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320306335.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128182552-20220128212552-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.956718 | 554 |

A method of search for the largest maximal independent sets of an undirected connected graph is proposed that allows one to solve the problem of determining the largest maximal independent sets in polynomial time with the number of vertices in the graph not exceeding 120 and the density of edges in the range from 0.067 to 0.9. with a further increase in the number of vertices and a decrease in the density of edges in the graph, the algorithm has an exponential complexity that does not exceed at an average O (20,4n), which tends to the decrease with increasing the edge density in the graph, where n is the number of vertices in the graph.

As the 2nd wave of covid unfolds throughout the world, sustaining through the pandemic has become an everyday challenge. Due to the steep rise in cases, the healthcare industry continues to evolve and is adopting telemedicine to facilitate the accessibility of remote health care services. But using telemedicine we can only diagnose common diseases as no physical examination is possible, which may increase the number of wrong diagnoses. A quite common symptom of covid-19 in the Indian population is the development of respiratory abnormalities, for which Physical inspection is a mandatory process for proper diagnosis.
What if the stethoscope could reveal insights on our health condition just by listen and analyzing the lung sounds at the edge !? The initial inspiration for this project came from the "digital stethoscope" project by Peter Ma.Proposed Solution
Hence the idea is to develop a solution that combines any normal stethoscope paired with a microphone and recording the sound of the respiratory system and performing audio classification at the edge on a microcontroller. In order to get accurate acoustic data, we have to make sure that the data to be processed is free of an anomaly due to power line interference, motion artifacts, etc. Hence we need to include a filtering system consisting of low pass, high pass filters along with an adjustable gain. The filtered signal is then pre-processed using the AudioMFE processing block which extracts time and frequency features from a signal and fed into the neural network.
The model then classifies the recording into one of the 4 classes: Ideal (Stethoscope not being used), Normal ( No abnormalities in lungs), covid ( Lungs sound closely matching to that of a covid patient), wheezing ( Symptom of chronic obstruction or breathing problems. The goal is to build with low-cost off-shelf components that are readily available in the market so that even a non-technical person could easily build this kit by himself. The ability to detect the critical health issue at your disposal beforehand in a lockdown situation is inestimable.Building Hardware:
Here the goal is to build the project with cost-effective as well equally functional components. We need a microcontroller powerful enough to process audio and inference at the edge and being power efficient at the same time. Also, the board should support LCD to display, microSD for saving audio files, and need some pushbuttons for navigation. The Wio terminal from Seeed Studio checks all the boxes and comes with some additional functionality. It's is an Arduino-compatible development board, crammed full of features, well documented, and full of examples codes available for just INR 3400 !!. I won't go into the detailed specifications and why it's a bang for the buck!. Here are some links to get you started:
The MAX4466 Electret Microphone Amplifier has a good signal-to-noise ratio with an adjustable gain, is cheap, and readily available. The sounds of lungs mostly belong to the lower-frequency spectrum ( human audible range), hence we need not have a microphone with a wide frequency band. If you want to learn more about how sound processing is done, you can head out to the Sound Processing section of the Audio Scene Recognition project by Dmitry Maslov.
The IndoSurgicals Silvery II-SS Stethoscope performs well to deliver lung sounds exceptionally well for the price point.
We need to cut the stethoscope near the end of the tube (where it starts to split into two) as this area has a larger radius that perfectly fits over the Electret Microphone and attaches the mic firmly to the tube ensuring that there is no leakage of sound. Additionally, you can also add an adhesive to seal the tight ensuring not to damage the microphone in the process.
I have mounted the Wio terminal and the microphone to cardboard, perhaps to reduce motion artifacts during measurements. Below is a picture of the hardware setup after all connections are made.
The output of the microphone is analog in nature, hence we need to feed/connect it into one of the channels of ADC of the Wio terminal. I have used the A0 (BCM27) pin for the same. You can refer to Shawn's Guide of how to use ADC's.
Also, the reasons I chose not to go use the on-board microphone (instead of an external microphone ) are mentioned below:
- Difficult to mount the Stethoscope on it.
- The Onboard microphone is set up to only give sound levels, not feasible for actual audio sampling.
Before collecting the sound data we need to adjust the gain of the microphone, so as it hit a sweet sport between amplifying the sound of our interest and noise. To simplify things you can use the Wio_Terminal_Microphone_Chart.ino code developed by Ralph Yamamoto. It displays the analog values on the LCD of the Wio terminal inform of a continuous chart. This is quite intuitive. Rotate the gain potentiometer clockwise or anticlockwise according to the magnitude of values on the screen, ensuring that the sound of our interest ( lungs sounds) is not clipped off and is reasonably amplified and noise amplification is minimum.
After calibrating the microphone we need to record and save the audio in the ".wav" file format on the SD card. A sample example code is available on GitHub, derived from the work done by Dmitry Maslov. PlatformIO has been my go-to IDE for all my firmware needs related to the Arduino framework. Here is a walkthrough to set up PlatformIO for Wio Terminal: https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/Software-PlatformIO/.
Once you are done with the setup and having flashed the program onto the Wio Terminal, place the stethoscope firmly on auscultation points and press the button 'A' on the Wio terminal when you are ready, and start your breathing cycle until the recording is stopped. Repeat this multiple times with different points on the chest and with different clothes being put on along with background noise. The example code records 5 seconds of acoustic data at a sampling frequency of 16Khz and stores it on the SD card in '.wav' format. You can also open the Serial Terminal to get debug messages.
Since it's quite risky to visit patients with respiratory disorder and collect real samples of lung abnormalities through our device, so I collected real audio samples of my lungs ( assuming that it is functioning normally) and other samples were collect by the playing the sounds on a speaker and capturing it through the stethoscope. Here are links to the playlist containing sounds of lung abnormalities.
According to medical journals mentioned below, the normal classification of lung sounds in frequency bands involves low (100 to 300 Hz)-, middle (300 to 600 Hz)-, and high (600 to 1, 200 Hz)- frequency bands and in the range of lower frequencies (< 100 Hz), heart and muscle sounds overlap.
- Asymmetry of respiratory sounds and thoracic transmission
- The Relationship between Normal Lung Sounds, Age, and Gender
- Effect of Airflow Rate on Vibration Response Imaging in Normal Lungs
Hence the sampling rate used in our device is high enough for capturing the acoustic events of our interest. We need to create a bandpass filter ( 100 - 1200 Hz) so that information related to lung sound characteristics is preserved while removing heart and muscle sounds. We would be creating a digital filter during our upcoming steps using Edge impulse in order to filter heart/muscle sounds. If you want to create an analog filter please refer to my previous project, where I have used an analog filter.Building Model :
After sufficient data is curated, the next step is to leverage Edge Impulse platform to process data and train a model. A quick into "Edge Impulse is an emerging startup that is doing a great job in bridging the gap between firmware/hardware engineers and Machine Learning engineers. A huge variety of inputs can be processed including radar, motion, electromagnetic fields, audio, images, and device logs". Create an account with Edge Impulse and the first time you log in, you will be greeted by a getting started page. This will walk you through the process of connecting a device, gathering data, and finally deploying a model.
Create a new project, name it, and head to the Data Acquisition tab, and click on upload existing data. You can see there various formats in which you can upload the data. We are going to upload all our ".wav" files and label the classes they belong to. You can use automatic splitting of data into training and testing.
After the data collection/uploading is done, it is time to choose processing blocks and define our neural network model to create an impulse. Click on impulse design and you'll four blocks to play with. The first block is for slicing the data in small chunks that are fed into the machine learning model during training. The Window size field controls how long, in milliseconds, each window of data should be and the Window increase field controls the offset of each subsequent window from the first. For this project, I have fixed the window size to 1.5 seconds at this close to the duration of completing one breathing cycle( Inhaling followed by Exhaling).
Next, we need to add a processing block. This is quite tricky to select at there quite a lot of algorithms to serve specific use-cases. Hence we have the luxury to experiment with these blocks. The most accurate processing block that worked this project was Syntiant. For the time being it is only available for the Syntiant board. The next best algorithm that performed exceptionally well is MFE (Mel-filterbank energy). It performs well on audio data, mostly for non-voice recognition use cases when sounds to be classified can be distinguished by the human ear.
In order to filter out the heart and muscle artifact sounds, we need to create a digital filter. We can do that by tweaking the Mel-filterbank energy features parameters under the MFE tab under Impulse Design. Fix 300hz as the Low-frequency band and 1200hz as the high-frequency band, as the lung's sound lies within this range. To learn more about processing blocks visit this document by edge impulse.
The next step is to select a learning block. I chose Neural Network (Keras), as edge impulse suggests it for good audio use-cases. Head to the MFC/Spectrogram tab to generate features. You're free to mess around with MFE parameters in order to achieve the best accuracy. After computing the features, switch to the NN classifier tab and choose a suitable model architecture between 1D or 2D Conv and click start training. Once training is finished, a confusion matrix will be generated on the right side containing all the insights on the model performance. By tweaking the NN and MFE parameters, you can restrict the false positive value to minimum and accuracy to maximum. Once satisfied with the model performance you can move to the live testing or deployment stage.
As we are using PlatformIO with Arduino framework, we need to deploy the model as an Arduino library to integrate with our code. Edge Impulse has a variety of optimization options without much sacrificing on the accuracy. Head over to the optimizations tab to select the one that suits your model the best and download the library.
Once you have downloaded the model, we need to integrate it into our code. Adding an Arduino library in PlatformIO has a different process than adding in the Arduino IDE. The simplest way is to extract the library.zip file and drag-n-drop the folder into the lib directory of the project. Once the library is added to the project, all you need to do is add the library header file that is present in the root directory of the library folder for example "<digital_stethoscope_inference.h>". Now you have access the all the library functions that come along with the model. The firmware is quite simple as it based on the Arduino framework. We have the setup() function for initialization and loop for repetitive tasks. In the Setup function, we perform the following tasks:
- Initialize TFT drivers & Serial Communication,
- Define Analog input pin for the microphone, pinMode for button "A" and attach interrupt to it.
- Initialize the edge impulse classifier function, allocate memory to the audio buffer.
- Push start-up images to the TFT screen.
In the Loop function the following tasks are performed:
- Check if the Key "A" is pressed. If pressed, then start recording audio data using the analogRead function followed by a microsecond delay and filling up the audio buffer. Run the classifier and get the output results and display it on the TFT screen as well as push to the serial terminal.
- If key "A" not pressed display the instruction to start the inference.
The code is available on GitHub for your reference. Make sure to include the following build flags in the platformio.ini file or else you'll receive an empty array when printing results to the serial terminal.
The inference time of 1 second works fine for me. If you want to minimize the inference time you would probably need to incorporate double buffered DMA in your code. Shawn has put a great video implementing this. Blog on Continuous audio sampling by edge impulse might also help you get started.Moment of Truth:
So here is a video demonstrating the working of the project.
- A better GUI: The Initial plan was to use LVGL alongside Edge Impulse, however, I gave up on it as more often than not the firmware would run into memory leak problems.
- Connection to Cloud: The idea is to use the wifi capabilities of wio terminal to send data, making it accessible to the doctors so that further diagnosis can be performed. ( Yet to start working on this)
- Integrating Record Functionality: On multiple occasions ran into the same memory leakage problem.
( Any kind of help on these is highly appreciated ).
P.S: The project more or less looks like a content curation blog. However, that's the beauty of open-source contributions, that you can leverage others' work to complete your jigsaw which in turn might act as a starting point for someone else. | <urn:uuid:10993ac3-23d1-4e12-8342-caa6acaad833> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.hackster.io/bhanudiehard/smart-stethoscope-powered-by-edge-impulse-a09826 | 2022-01-28T19:53:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320306335.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128182552-20220128212552-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.922408 | 2,995 |
- Individual Therapy: This therapy involves only the patient and the therapist.
- Group Therapy: Five or more patients may participate in therapy at the same time. Patients are able to share experiences and learn that others feel the same way and have had the same experiences.
- Marital/Couples Therapy: This type of therapy helps spouses and partners understand why their loved one has a mental disorder, what changes in communication and behaviours can help, and what they can do to cope. This type of therapy can also be used to help a couple that is struggling with aspects of their relationship.
- Family Therapy: Because family is a key part of the team that helps people with mental illness get better, it is sometimes helpful for family members to understand what their loved one is going through, how they themselves can cope, and what they can do to help.
At Oasis Health Specialty Hospital, we treat addiction as a complex disease which as to be adequately treated and managed and as such, rolled out rigorous psychosocial interventions;
- Motivational Interviewing: It is an essential counselling technique necessary for clients with addiction problems to help explore and resolve their ambivalence.Intensive MI is offered to assist in establishment of goals, eliciting motivation to change maladaptive behaviour and for change talk,

News and insights from our Employment team
Major changes proposed to improve workers' rights
- AuthorLaura Hill
Last week, the government published its response to “Good Work: the Taylor Review of Modern Working Practices”. This independent review published in July made a series of recommendations designed to improve the working conditions of atypical workers and individuals working in the gig economy.
The response sets out the government’s proposals to increase workers’ rights and their awareness of those rights as well as the action the government intends to take against employers who breach their workers’ rights.
Notable measures mentioned by the government in their response are:
- enforcing vulnerable workers’ holiday and sick pay for the first time;
- a new right to a payslip for all workers (including casual and zero hour workers);
- introducing a new “naming and shaming” scheme for employers who fail to pay employment tribunal awards;
- quadrupling employment tribunal fines for employers showing malice, spite or gross oversight to £20,000.
It sounds like big changes are about to happen, however, the day the government published its response, it also launched four separate consultations into the enforcement of employment rights, agency workers, measures to increase transparency in the UK labour market and employment status.
We will have to wait and see what the outcome of the consultations will be before we know how things will actually change in practice, but it is likely that there will be increased obligations on many employers going forward in relation to their employees - so watch this space!
If you are unsure of how the changes are likely to affect your business and your employees, please contact the Roythornes Employment team. | <urn:uuid:c02c9621-0bf9-4b52-a3ca-046c6f6dc394> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.roythorne.co.uk/site/blog/employment_law/major-changes-proposed-to-improve-workers-rights | 2022-01-28T18:42:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320306335.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128182552-20220128212552-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.956501 | 350 |
If you’re reading this article right now, that means you have something on your mind. Maybe you need help scaling your business, maybe you’re having trouble hitting your revenue goals.
Whatever the case, you’re in the right place.
Because today I’m going to show you 10 proven strategies that will teach you how to grow your business as much as 500% or more!
Before we get started, I want to set the stage. During the great recession, and with the rise of social media, a New Consumer has emerged with a lot more power than the old days.
It used to be that corporations were in total control as the consumer had few choices and were forced to get in line and wait at the store for whatever they needed, but today the consumer is in total control thanks to technology.
This new consumer is continuously evaluating brands before, during, and after they make a purchase.
In order to increase revenue for your business, you’re going to need to put in place the people, processes, and technology you need in order to win over the hearts and minds of your customers during every stage of the customer experience lifecycle.
If your business isn’t connecting with customers during each step of their journey—the right way—scaling your business is going to be almost impossible.
I’m about to tell you, right now, the proven secrets to scaling your business and increasing sales. Are you ready to start cultivating lasting success?
In order to put the Pareto Principle into action, you need to identify your best customers, but it’s not enough to just find the ones that make 80% of your sales.
You’re going to want to know:
- Who are my most recent customers?
- Who are my most loyal customers?
- Who are my biggest spending customers?
If you can do that, you’ll be able to focus your marketing efforts on this high-value customer segment in order to drive profit.
Everyone wants maximum profit for their business, right?
In Peter Fader’s book, “Customer Centricity”, he says you should focus on the right customers for strategic advantage so that you can invest your time and money where it matters most.
So how do you do it? How do you determine who your best customers are?
It all starts with market segmentation.
Segmentation tools are usually found in most CRM system software platforms, it gives marketers a way to slice and dice their database into different customer segments.
It also provides a quantifiable way to distinguish between your best and worst customers on file.
Here’s some of the different ways you can segment your database.
Geographic Data (Where they are)
Geographic data tells you about where the customer is located.
For example, you may segment your database by city, state, region, etc...
Demographic Data (Who they are)
Demographic data tells you about who the customer is.
For example, you may use a prospect’s contact profile to create segments based on job title, age, and much more...
Behavioral Data (What they are doing)
This type of profiling is more concerned with what the customer is actually doing. It cares only about customer activity.
For example, you may use behavioral data such as website pages visits, email opens, clicks, purchases and much more to segment your customers.
Psychographic Data (Why are they in the market for a product or service)
Psychographic data tells us the “The Why”. Why are your customers in the market in the first place? People do not buy products or services, they buy solutions to their problems.
It’s your job to understand your target customers’ problems and to develop products and services to solve those problems.
By using segmentation, you can profile and target your prospects with much more precision. This means you can stop focusing on how to close a sale, and start focusing on how to make more valuable sales overall.
#3 People, Process, Technology.
The best ways to increase revenue for your business
If you want to increase revenue for your business you’re going to need the right people, processes and technology to do it.
Let me introduce you to my two friends, TOM and COM.
Target Operating Model (TOM)
Your TOM helps you define the processes required to support your “Target” State.
This includes your technology infrastructure, and necessary data and analytics tools that you need to ensure that your business can achieve its objective to increase revenue.
Current Operating Model (COM)
The “Current” State, represents your Current Operating Model (COM) and how your organization is configured today. It’s your As-Is State.
In order to get to your target state you need to take an inventory of what you have today and how much it’s costing you.
Once you complete this checklist you need to make the following decision:
Should I use a whole bunch of different apps, from different vendors, using different databases in order to manage my brand?
Should I use a Unified Platform to save time and money?
#3A You Need To Get Unified
The All-In-One CRM System
How do you get you unifed?
You need to implement an All-In-One CRM System with a complete range of tools already integrated and available at your fingertips.
The platform should unify the following:
- Marketing Automation
- Customer Service
- Help Desk
Why is Being Unified So Important?
One the main challenges businesses are facing today is that their customer data is not unified.
When you use too many apps from different vendors using different databases you end up in what I call “The Integration Hellzone”.
The Integration Hell Zone
Without all of the data from your interactions with customers available and unified, the ability of your analytics to model accurately what’s going on with your performance diminishes into vague estimation.
Some of the side effects of the Integration Hell Zone include:
- Data Silos
- Poor User Adoption
- Poor Employee Morale
- Not Able To Be Customer Centric
- Poor Sales Performance
This has become such a serious problem in the field of business intelligence that there are now entirely separate software packages just for trying to handle data analysis in a useful way across all your different software.
Benefits of An All-In-One Platform
A better way for scaling business
An All-In-One CRM Software Solution has the following benefits:
- Saves Valuable Time
- Eliminates Costly Apps
- Access Better Business Intelligence (BI)
- Higher Return on Investment (ROI)
- Boosts Employee Morale
- And more...
At the end of the day, two of the most powerful value propositions for products or services revolve around saving time and saving money.
An All-In-One CRM Software Platform is a great way to do both of these while giving you access to the tools you need in order to increase your revenue.
Let’s look at what kind of time you can save by using an All-In-One CRM Software Platform.
Let’s assume that you have a small team of 5 employees that need to log into at least 3 other apps a day across sales marketing and customer service throughout the day.
I know for myself it’s much more like 10 minutes because of all the distractions I encounter when I log into different applications, but for this example let’s use only 2 minutes.
As you can see for a small operation an extra 10 hours a month can be a big deal, and if you’re a medium and large organization, it can be a much more significant amount of time lost.
Time is money, and it’s a finite resource. Spending your time wisely is one of the fastest ways to scale your business, increase your revenue, and make your business even better.
If you add in an average salary of, say $25 per/hour, you’re starting to see just how much a Unified Commerce solution can save you.. If you factor in closing a few extra deals a month, it starts to make even more sense.
Whether or not this is right for you, it’s important to know that the movement has already begun!
BRP conducted a Digital Commerce Survey of the top 500 North American retailers and found that, "73% of retailers plan to implement Unified Commerce by the end 2019."
If your competitors are moving towards a better way to do business, it’s time you step forward towards the future, too.
#3B Implement A Virtual Phone System
Ensure that no opportunities fall through the cracks
When you have a Cloud Based Virtual Phone System that works seamlessly with your CRM system, it can feed valuable data to your entire organization and redefine your voice communications.
Features like click to dial, call routing, and voice analytics can have a powerful impact on your overall conversion rates, while also ensuring that your employees are not letting any opportunities fall through the cracks.
#4 Implement Data Driven Buyer Personas
The best way to gain valuable insights about your target consumers
In Conversion XL’s blog post, "How to Build Robust User Personas in Under a Month" they mention that using made up data is one of the biggest flaws in user personas today.
“The power of user personas fades when people don’t trust them or they aren’t based in reality.”
That’s why if you want to increase revenue for your business you’re going to want to use data driven buyer personas.
So…what the heck are data driven buyer personas?
A data driven buyer persona is a persona that is based on real life data that is constantly changing.
In order to do this you need a tool that will allow you to segment your database based on the different segmentation types we described like the ones below.
After you segment your database you need to be able to assign your segments to your persona in order for them to be data driven.
If you’re serious about growing your business and increasing revenue you need to put the time into researching your customers so you can gain valuable insights into your target customers and segment your database properly.

#5 Conduct Qualitative and Quantitative Research
Discover common pitfalls and boons to improve your business
Many businesses assume to know their customer, but in reality they don’t know who they are, what they want, or what pain they’re trying to resolve.
That’s why you need to perform both qualitative and quantitative research. Assumptions often don’t hold up to what really makes customers tick.
Qualitative research is exploratory and it helps you discover information about people’s motivations, thinking, and attitudes.
Qualitative research is almost always the starting point when you seek to discover new problems and opportunities–which will help you do deeper research later.
While this brings depth of understanding to your research questions, it also makes the results harder to analyze and measure.
That’s why it’s best to use qualitative research in conjunction with quantitative research.
Quantitative research helps you measure data by crunching numbers, it’s structured and statistical.
How do you combine these two forms of research?
Let’s say you sell online and want feedback from your site visitors. You can probably already measure several things with quantitative research with closed-ended multiple choice questions.
- How easy was it to use the site?
- How would you rate the variety of products that we offer?
- How did you hear about us?
- How likely are you to recommend us to a friend?
All these questions are closed-ended and easily measurable.
But you also may want to provide a few open-ended, qualitative research questions to find out what you may have overlooked.
- You could use questions like:
- What did you enjoy most about our online store?
- How could we improve your experience?
- Do you have any feedback on the website you think we should be aware of?
If you discover any common themes through these qualitative questions, you can decide to research them more in depth, make changes to your store, and make sure to add quantitative questions about these topics to your new site visitors.
For example, let’s say several people said that their least favorite thing about the store was there was no easy way to get answers to their questions.
Next time, your survey might ask quantitative questions like how satisfied people were were with the customer service on a scale of 1 to 10, or let respondents choose from a list of potential ways that customer service can improve.
These quantitative questions can then help your determine if the original feedback is an isolated problem or if it’s widespread. In essence your quantitative questions are helping you to validate your qualitative research.
#6 Create A “Customer First” Culture
The best way to go about increasing sales is to put your customer first.
If you want to start increasing revenue, you need to understand the importance of the customer experience you deliver.
And it starts with the first people your customers interact with — your employees.
If your employees create a good experience for the customer, chances are they’ll wanna come shop with you again.
The same is true on the flip side. If your employees are being nonchalant with customers, giving them the bare minimum level of service, your oh-so-impressionable customers aren’t going to be coming back anytime soon.
That means everyone in your company — from the CEO to the receptionist — must take customer experience very seriously.
Your business depends on it.
#7 Manage Your Touchpoints
Stay up-to-date with your customers’ experiences
Fortunately, you have the opportunity to shape this experience, but you're not going to be able to do it unless you take an inventory of all your customer touchpoints.
To do this, start with a piece of paper or an excel spreadsheet. Across the top row write the following column headers for the following:
- Before Purchase
- During Purchase
- After Purchase
Next, you want to identify your customer touchpoints by making a list of all the places and times your customers might come into contact with your brand during each of these stages above.
After you have a list of all your touchpoints create another spreadsheet and add sub-steps for each stage in the customer journey and determine where each touchpoint belongs.
- Before Purchase
- Decision (Purchase)
You might be wondering, now what? Keep reading my dear friend.
#8 Ask for Customer Feedback
Create a continuous learning and improvement cycle
Each touchpoint in your organization is an opportunity for engagement that should be tracked, analyzed, and improved whenever possible.
If you want to increase customer loyalty you’ve got to maintain ongoing dialogue with your customers.
You need to Close The Loop on your customer feedback.
A Closed loop feedback initiative empowers employees to reach out to a satisfied or dissatisfied customer and gain insight into the customer’s experience.
The ultimate goal is to develop a continuous learning and improvement cycle that will help you create a customer experience that your competitors can’t match which will put you on the path to increasing revenue for your business.
#9 Product Market Fit
Align your products and services to a problem that people have
If you want to develop new products and services for your customer base to increase revenue you’re going to need to make sure you use a product market fit strategy.
What is product market fit?
It’s all about aligning your products and services to a problem that people have. In essence product market fit is about creating value for your customers based on their needs.
Here’s a definition from Marc Andreesen, who originally described ‘Product/Market Fit’ in his post “The Only Thing That Matters”:
The key takeaway is to not develop products first and then search for demand. Instead, find a problem that has demand for a product or service (the solution) and then develop for that customer segment.
How do you do that?
As I’ve have already mentioned, qualitative and quantitative research is critical to helping you identify the needs, wants and desires of your customers.
You’re going to want to use surveys and interviews to understand your customer so you can make more informed decisions.
#10 Implement Marketing Automation
Automation is how to grow your business the smart way
In today's digital worlds, it's possible for you to build profiles of each individual customer based on how they interact with your site, how they read your marketing materials, or even how they talk to your social media presences.
But what happens when you have hundreds or thousands of contacts? You're not going to be able to manually enter this kind of data. You're going to need to automate this process.
That's where marketing automation comes into play.
Marketing Automation is a set of tools that can help manage these processes automatically: It can react dynamically to a potential customer's demonstrated interest, respond appropriately, and feed the gathered data back to your business in a way that makes it easier to distinguish when the sales team should reach out and make contact.
With a properly implemented marketing automation strategy you can boost your revenue by 2x, 5x, 10x, or more...
Now that you’ve come to the end of this expose on the 10 Proven Secrets To Growing Your Business, you’re probably wondering how you can tackle each of these points efficiently and effectively.
And if there’s anything else you might be missing.
There are many other ways to find out how to close a sale, how to make more sales, convert more leads, create more success with your ideal customers, and so on.

Designer Window Shutters
When you move into a new space, it’s not entirely yours until you put your stamp on it. One easy way to do this is to install custom plantation shutters. These pieces are the ideal balance of practical and beautiful when it comes to home decor. Interior shutters are a permanent addition to any room. They feature wooden slats on a vertical tilt bar; this allows for optimal control of both light and privacy.
At Shutter Queen, we specialize in a variety of styles and designs to create shutters for any Lake Oswego homeowner.
More and more people are discovering the attractive design of window shutters. The time of Venetian blinds is coming to an end. There are many reasons to consider shutters for your home decor.
Blinds are a little boring, it’s true. Blinds usually only come in plain white or beige. You can get shutters in virtually any color, and you can paint them whenever you like.
Blinds are dangerous. Those cords that you use to draw or lower the shades are a choking hazard. Kids and pets can get tangled up inside them. There’s nothing to dangle off of our shutters.
Blinds are flimsy. Thin strips in blinds feature weaker material, and they can get torn or bent easily. Our shutters use real wood, which is stronger.
When you are considering your options for window treatments, it is ideal for contemplating the many factors that are associated with different choices. You should never cut corners when it comes to shutters or window treatments in general. Low-quality shutters will result in a lower-grade appearance and lifespan. Because shutters are considered a permanent window treatment, it is recommended to work with experts like the craftsmen at Shutter Queen. We install the highest-quality shutters that will not only look great but last for many years.
Other window treatments like blinds are simple to install and generally don’t require professional installation. But blinds are not an ideal long-term solution. Our shutters are custom made and measured precisely to fit each window perfectly. Having them installed by an experienced craftsman ensures that your investment is safe and effective.
Depending on your personal needs and lifestyle, shutters are the better choice for many reasons. Those with children or pets can find security in shutters because they don’t have loose strings and other easily broken parts. There is also the design element to consider. Blinds are typically sold in white or very few different neutral colors. And while you can add colorful curtains, blinds limit you to a few simple looks. Shutters are made with natural wood and can be stained or painted any color you want. Just like changing the color of your walls, you can change the color of your shutters. In recent design trends, bright colors are becoming increasingly popular. And some people are painting their interior window shutters a bright, contrasting color that makes the room pop!
Working with one of our shutter experts can help you decide on the best shutter style and design for you! And while there are many benefits associated with having shutters, it is essential to note that they require more maintenance than blinds. The wooden louvers should be dusted and cleaned regularly to ensure your interior investment continues to look its best.
The Best Wooden Shutters
Here at Shutter Queen, we make our own product. It’s entirely made in the USA, over in Vancouver. You can get them custom ordered to any dimensions that you need.

While Kirk and Spock are off galavanting through the galaxy on their five year mission, other folks are out there just trying to make a living. Folks like Mike Harper and his small crew on the SS Clydesdale. It may be an old Tellarite freighter. It may not have any weapons or fancy Starfleet technology. It may not be very fast. But it can…well…it can get your cargo from here to there…most of the time.
TOSsed is a six-story mini-series chronicling the Clydesdale’s crew’s efforts to find jobs, stay on Starfleet’s good side, and, if they’re very lucky, not get killed in the process.
First up - In exchange for repairs to the SS Clydesdale, Mike Harper agrees to transport a passenger, but said passenger’s choice of destination is a spatial anomaly that sane captains won’t go near. Why can’t people just pick Risa instead?

I’ve talked about my book a few times on this blog, but since I’m about a fourth of the way through, I figured I’d drop an excerpt. So here’s the introduction.
It was a cold and blustery November evening in 1940 when the dame walked into my office for the first time.
She was unforgettable, as the troublesome ones always seemed to be. Her silky brown hair rolled down her shoulders in waves and took on a red shine when it caught the light and her eyes were large in a way that would look innocent if they weren’t a striking amber that nearly glowed. Her coat was pine green, fashionably cinched at the waist and cut just below the knees, high enough to show off her heeled shoes and calves–very nice calves, for those who were interested–but low enough to fend off the autumn chill. She wore a matching green felt hat with a wide brim and black silk gloves over long fingers that looked more precise than delicate. Her face was radiant, her lips painted red and her tan cheeks dusted with rouge. All dolled up, though I doubted it was for me.
Neither men nor women did much to make my blood move, but I could appreciate beauty, and she had it in spades.
She strode into my office with the calm, confident walk of a woman who wasn’t scared to take what she wanted, which I liked, and a string of gleaming pearls hanging off her right wrist, which I didn’t.
“I don’t deal with specs,” I told her. Even with her standing two yards from me, I could feel those pearls burning the air. I had seen pearls like that often enough–crystallized human souls. Hers were beautifully procured, shining just as bright as real pearls, but they were souls nonetheless.
Only demons wore souls. A human would lose their own if they tried.
The spec wasn’t deterred. She pulled up a seat across from me and said: “Come, now. Don’t be rude.” Her voice was low and rich without being sultry, though it wouldn’t have taken much effort to get there. “I’m not a demon and I’m not here for your soul. I can call up the demon if you like, but me, I’m all human.”
Possessed, then. It wasn’t common–I could count the number of possessed people I’ve met on two hands, and those who let their hosts speak for themselves on one. Of course, I only had her word for it that she was the human half. I let that slide for the moment. Human side or not, there was a demon wearing pearls in my office who wanted something, and that always meant trouble.
Trouble didn’t stop me from being curious, though. It was a bad habit, I admit. It came with being a sleuth.
I said: “Well, you came all this way to see me. How can I help you?”
“I’d like you to solve something for me.”
“Shame. I thought you might have come for the company.”
“I certainly didn’t come here for you to be smart with me.” She reached into her bag and pulled out a silver cigarette tin with a swirling pattern engraved on the lid. She took a cigarette out and I struck a match to light it for her. She paused and took a slow drag, then blew out a cloud of smoke. She said: “I’m interested in a man. Beckett Moller, goes by Beck. He was shot dead about three nights ago out on Canal Street, some blocks north of Union Station.”
I sighed. “I’d love to help you, sister, but I’m a private detective and I don’t handle murder cases. That’s police work.”
“It’s not the murder I’m asking you about.”
That was still well out of my jurisdiction, but I said: “Go on, then. Don’t leave me in suspense.”
She took another drag on her cigarette. “A friend saw him again this morning. Alive.”
“The man’s got a twin?”
“Don’t be smart. It’s not becoming of you,” the woman said. “They saw him climb out of the Chicago River down around Chinatown, his coat still soaked with blood. When they tried to get a hold of him, he ran like a bat out of hell.”
“Pretty spry for a dead man. Are you sure he died to begin with?”
“He was shot three times in the chest from about a foot away, if you believe the eyewitness, and I do.” She reached over and tapped ash into my ashtray. “Somehow, I doubt he survived that.”
I leaned back in my chair and folded my hands together. “So what, you think he came back to life? Some spec or sparky trying to play God pulled a trick out of their sleeve to wake him up?”
“That’s exactly what I think, shamus.”
“Sister, I might not know any tricks myself, but I know enough to say there’s no magic to bring a stiff back to life.”
She raised a delicate eyebrow. “Then what happened to you?”
There’s a story I sometimes tell friends on especially dark nights at the bar between the third and fifth glasses of whiskey about the last case I did back when I still worked for the police.
It was a kidnapping case, a whole string of them all along the West Side towards the end of ’32. It hadn’t started out that way. When the higher ups handed Raymond and me the case, it was just one kid, Lillian Waters, a black girl, aged six, who lived out on Maxwell Street. Her folks told us she must have been snatched right out of the market. They never got a ransom note and even if they had, they had nothing to give. I remember the aunt telling me how Lillian was just the sweetest girl. She didn’t think anyone who knew the kid would ever want to hurt her, or maybe she just wanted to believe that.
I wish I could say Lillian really was that sweet, but I never got a chance to find out. We never found her. We never found her corpse, either, but considering all the things that could happen to a little girl who got on the wrong side of the city, that wasn’t exactly reassuring.
What we did find was a trail of evidence reeking of magic that led us straight into five other kidnapping cases, all children, all on the West Side. I can’t remember much about them anymore, no matter how much I try, but I remember finding there wasn’t any connection between the kids or their families or friends, except that they’d all been magicked and they all lived within throwing distance of the Sons of Asmodai.
Raymond wanted out at that point, and I couldn’t blame him. The chief didn’t care whether a black girl got found and the Sons were above our pay grade. They were like the Italian Mob, except instead of money they wanted souls, and the demons were fonder of their sparks than the Italians were of their Tommies. They got twitchy when coppers sniffed around their hideouts and twitchy specs killed people. It was enough to make anyone nervous.
Well, what’s a poor detective to do? Six kids snatched by the Sons, and that’s just the ones we knew about. God knows what the specs wanted with them, but I’d put a yard on them doing it again. Raymond made the smart choice and got out while he still had time. I didn’t.
Around this point, I pause and call the barman to refill my drink. My friends ask me what happened next.
I toss back my glass in one. Set it on the counter.
Isn’t it obvious? I ask. They killed me.
The woman sat there across from me, her cigarette hanging between her long fingers and her amber eyes looking sharp enough to slit a throat. She was smiling. I didn’t like that much.
I didn’t tell strangers about my death. It wasn’t polite conversation, and it raised questions I didn’t want to answer. Frankly, the less anyone knew about it, the better.
I told her: “I don’t know what you mean.”
“Don’t play coy, Detective.”
“You’ll have to enlighten me, sister.”
She looked at me and blew a ring of smoke. “Last March, an Asian gumshoe got a couple of iron pills in the stomach for looking into an affair they shouldn’t have. Then August, there was someone with black hair and black eyes, sapped from behind and tossed off a roof for asking questions about a jewel theft. February, a Chinese girl sniffed a little close to a couple of sparkies and got dumped in the river for the trouble. Hear enough of these stories and I start to wonder.”
“Descriptions like that, they’re probably different people,” I said.
“Or one very unlucky, very stubborn one.” She leaned forward and crushed her cigarette into my ashtray. “Come off it, now. Even Chicago doesn’t have that many overcurious Chinese folks. Especially not private dicks, and especially not dames like you.”
She had me there. I’d gotten into plenty of trouble since I came back to life the first time and I wasn’t exactly difficult to recognize. The stories got around sometimes, but they weren’t nearly as common as she made them sound. It made me wonder what circles she ran in.
I leaned back in my chair. I said: “Alright then, sister. Say I believe you. Someone woke your bird up with a fancy trick or two. What does it have to do with me?”
“You’re going to find who did it and why.”
I scoffed. “Am I? I don’t quite like your tone, sister, and I can’t see why you’re so interested. This Beck fellow doesn’t seem to mean much to you.”
“Beck was an important customer,” she said. “We’re jewelers, see. Surely I’m allowed to be curious if he comes back to life?”
“That might be true, but you’ll need more than that to get me interested.”
She smiled that unfortunate smile of hers again and put eighty bucks on my desk. “I believe this will be enough to start.”
It certainly was, and then some. I took the money and said: “I’ll look around.”
She nodded in that way some people do when they think they’re the cleverest person in the room. “I’ve heard good things about you, Miss Detective. Don’t disappoint me,” she said as she gave me her card. “Call when you find anything. Canal 1721.”
The card listed “Vera Kujović – Cat’s Eye Jewelers” above an address in Logan Square and another telephone number. It was a nice card, much nicer than mine, with smooth card stock and neat black cursive. An elegant card for an elegant dame, though I didn’t feel charitable enough to say so.
“I’ll be sure to do that, Miss Kujović.”
“I look forward to it.” | <urn:uuid:6fc6a6a1-b817-4ccc-b6e3-348f6bb0f3c3> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.thepinwheellab.com/writing/a-cold-november-evening-1940/ | 2022-01-28T19:26:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320306335.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128182552-20220128212552-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.980169 | 2,624 |

I was fortunate enough to have bought a reasonable spread of Bordeaux en primeur in 2005. At the time of purchase in 2006 there was a lot of hype surrounding the vintage. At that stage it was being compared to legendary vintages, like 1961. In many ways, it had been the first vintage since 2000 to really shout about in Bordeaux. The 2003 had its admirers of course, Parker amongst them, and that heatwave year made some thrilling wines – but it was also very inconsistent. I didn’t get the chance to taste the 2005s during primeurs, but those that did told me that, whilst it was evidently very promising, it was also somewhat tricky to judge with all the fruit, tannin, oak and acidity. Over the intervening years, I wonder if the vintage has lost some of its lustre, certainly relative to 2009 & 2010? There is an interesting piece from Jancis Robinson here worth a read from a few years back. So now that the vintage is sweet sixteen, just how are some of the wines faring?
Final blog post for the moment on the reds of Bordeaux in 2020. I’ve grouped together notes taken on wines from the Médoc and Haut-Médoc in this post, as well as some specific communes like Margaux, Moulis, Listrac, St Julien, Pauillac and St Estèphe. All of these are based on samples sent by the Grand Cercle. I’ve yet to taste members of the Union des Grand Crus and there are a number of properties that I usually get to taste which I didn’t manage to organise this year. I hope to update these omissions soon. From what I have tasted the reds are fresh in the Médoc in 2020, although there is not the richness of 2019 or 2018 for me. In some there is a certain austerity and angularity. Wines tasted from the Haut-Médoc have good depth and colour, with freshness and zap, but again some can feel a little angular. A handful of wines tasted from St Estèphe look promising, with good colours and nice textures, and there were some nicely perfumed, fresh wines from Margaux. The few bottles I tasted from St Julien and Pauillac showed finesse, but were not quite up with the quality and concentration of the previous two vintages. Overall my tastings in these communes were not as comprehensive as those on the right bank this year. If you want detailed reports on the left bank wines I’d defer to others whose writing on Bordeaux I admire [Jane Anson, James Lawther, Chris Kissack, Neal Martin & Jeb Dunnuck all cover Bordeaux extremely well]. Nevertheless, I hope you find the notes on the following 24 wines useful.
Attractive, mid-weight wines have been produced in Graves and Pessac-Léognan in 2020. Of the samples tasted, the aromatics were fresh and pretty amongst the reds, and the vintage has produced wines of medium body with ripe tannins. Overall, while there is a little more variation than in 2019, the impression is of good, well-balanced wines that should drink nicely in the near and medium term. The whites were not hugely aromatic for me but nevertheless the best had life, zest and texture and were appetizing. These tastings notes are based on samples sent by the Grand Cercle in the main, with a few additions. I hope to catch up with other properties and members of the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux at forthcoming events.
There are many properties to search out in the St Emilion satellite appellations. For the last few years I’ve been impressed with the wines of Château Barbe Blanche, Château La Rose Perrière and Château de Lussac in Lussac St Emilion. There is real polish and style exhibited here by these properties. Over in Montagne St Emilion Coralie de Boüard is blazing a trail with Château Clos de Boüard but this year I have also been impressed with Château Faizeau, Château Messile-Aubert and Vieux Château Palon presented by the Grand Cercle. Overall in 2020 all these wines show strong colours and exhibit lots of extract but the winemaking is sophisticated and the tannins soft and pure.

The Narragansett Salt Pond Preserve (2015)
A 57-minute documentary film about a small piece of seemingly ordinary land located on the southern coast of Rhode Island.
In the 1980s, archaeologists, working for a local developer, unearthed the remains of New England’s only undisturbed Pre-Contact Period (1100-1400 AD) Native American coastal village.
Used for dirt biking and adjacent to a suburban housing development and shopping center, this land, on a pond where the Narragansett Tribe located their origin story, became the center of an almost thirty-year battle between the rights of property ownership and the social and cultural importance of preserving one of the most important archaeological sites on the East Coast of the United States.
Woven in Time filming was sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration and the Department of Transportation.

A lot of people ask me about Stonehedge or Stonehendge or hit my site with search terms like:stonehedge england
In fact just recently a very good friend went to Stonehenge and told me they had thought is was Stonehedge almost her whole life. Unfortunately there is not much we can do to stop misspelling or miscommunication. This just shows you that no matter how popular you might think a landmark is, wrong information can be passed around consistently. Luckily this site is here in hope to fix those mistakes like Stonehedge and give people the right spelling and understanding of this wonderful megalith. There are actually places or locations called Stonehedge and we do not want to stop visitors from finding the right information, just make sure they are not looking for Stonehenge information.
Stonehenge (not Stonehedge) is a group of standing stones on Salisbury Plain in southern England. Dating to c. 2000-1800 B.C., the megaliths are enclosed by a circular ditch and embankment that may date to c. 2800. The arrangement of the stones suggests that Stonehenge was used as a religious center and also as an astronomical observatory.

I participated in a swap this past weekend, Here is one of the cards I created using the NEW Hexagon punch and coordinating Six-sided sampler stamp set. I must say I am in LOVE with this punch! Do you like the chevrons?
I used the hexagon punch to create those too... you can vary the size by just moving the paper to the size you like! I also punch a chevron to add dimension to the hexagon images on the left. The cardstock & inks are in Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Island Indigo and Smoky Slate - I must say one of my favourite colour combos! I still love anything orange and yellow, but these colours are fabulous. I used the doilies and cut them into quarters and sponged Island Indigo and Bermuda Bay.

The work of Kent Morris (Barkindji/AU) reveals the continuing presence and patterns of Aboriginal history, culture and knowledge in the contemporary Australian landscape, despite ongoing colonial interventions in the physical and political environments.
This major video commission by Kent Morris refers to the Barkindji Ancestral constellation story of the two kiinki’ngulu sisters, who appear as two white cockatoos (Corellas) in the sky, representing the clouds of Magellan. This story connects Barkindji people to ancestors and the cosmos in a cultural continuum of shared knowledge that reinforces spiritual cohesion and connection.
Kent Morris is the fifth artist to be commissioned for the UTS Broadway screen, a program of site-specific digital art commissions by leading Australian artists located in UTS Central (Building 2).
Barkindji Blue Sky - Ancestral Connections will premiere on the UTS Broadway Screen in August 2021.
The intertwining of Aboriginal cultural knowledge systems, technology and the built environment is an important and integral element to Kent Morris' works. Morris' artworks reveal the continuing presence of First Nations knowledge, history and culture in the contemporary Australian landscape despite ongoing colonial interventions by re-imagining and reconstructing the built environment to reflect Indigenous systems of knowledge and design.
A Barkindji man living on Yaluk-ut Weelam Country in Melbourne, Kent Morris graduated from Monash University and the Victorian College of the Arts and is an alumnus of the National Gallery of Australia’s Wesfarmers Indigenous Leadership Program. He also leads The Torch, a not for profit community arts organisation that provides art, cultural and arts vocational support to Indigenous offenders and ex-offenders in Victoria through a program he designed and developed in 2011.
Kent has exhibited widely throughout Australia and has worked on large scale architectural commissions for the UTS College, Sydney, and Australian Unity, Melbourne. He has also completed public works including billboard projects for the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) in 2020, and the Incinerator Gallery in 2019. In 2019 Kent exhibited his Unvanished series and completed a artist residency at the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Museum at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville USA. | <urn:uuid:130f07ce-6693-443a-b11d-be8c4e2562c5> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://artoncampus.uts.edu.au/artworks/barkindji-blue-sky---ancestral-connections/ | 2022-01-17T20:14:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300616.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117182124-20220117212124-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.936053 | 449 |

I’m having a quiet afternoon in Carrion de Los Condes. (I need to find out what the name of the town means in English, I keep thinking of vultures.) I took a taxi from Fromista to here this morning. It was perfect walking weather, and the Camino went alongside the road, which made me feel frustrated. Such easy, straightforward walking and I can’t do it. The taxi driver was a woman about my age, and she was pedal to the metal , going 120 kph. She spoke about as much English as my Spanish, so we ran through our conversation fairly quickly, but I enjoyed riding with her. She said she transports many Peregrinos who can’t walk.
The Meseta is a wide open plateau area in Spain and about a third of the Camino travels through its small towns. It’s known for being hot. This summer’s wet weather has kept it green and full of wildflowers.
I was delivered to Carrion de Los Condes at 11:00, and found the “official” Albergue, run by nuns, and got in line. There is a guitar concert and communal meal tonight.
The check-in was memorably confused, and personable. The Europeans immediately retired to the kitchen in groups, and made lunch, with bottles of wine. Local farmers had donated crates of tomatoes and cucumbers for “the pilgrims,” and it was tempting to cook.
There’s a very nice vibe here. It’s interesting to be the only American, I think, out of 48 people. Mostly Spanish, French, Italian, and a few Asians.
Since I was early, I have a nice cozy bottom bunk next to a wall. Since I haven’t walked 20 kilometers, like the rest of the pilgrims, I’m not as tired as everyone else, but I need to rest my ankle. Here’s a few photos of the Alburgue. | <urn:uuid:21811d5b-bb1f-43cc-8c4d-00d6d2b23473> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://bethlindfoote.com/2013/06/21/carrion-de-las-condes/ | 2022-01-17T20:00:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300616.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117182124-20220117212124-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.98 | 418 |
What is sill pan flashing? It’s very simple and there isn’t any window or door manufacturer that doesn’t require it. Sill pan flashing is a formed pan that can be made from multiple materials. You can use roofing membrane, any sheet metal (copper, aluminum, steel), there are commercially available adjustable pans, they can be plastic, and there’s a peel and stick product .
It goes under the door before any flashing detail or house wrap is applied. When the house wrap is applied, it wraps over the ends of the sill pan. Any water penetrating past the siding is stopped at the house wrap (water resistive barrier or WRB), the water runs down the WRB, it gets to the pan, and it’s directed and drained out of the wall assembly.
This document from the Building Science Corporation provides an in depth analysis and review of sill pan flashing.
This video shows what it is and how it’s installed.
If you have a leak in your house that can be traced anywhere adjacent to a door opening, the highest probability is that there isn’t any sill pan flashing. The problem in repairing this omission is….the door has to come out and you might have to make alterations to the adjacent siding material. It’s not a complicated job, but it’s not a quick and easy one either. If you’re building new, it’s relatively easy and painless; just make sure your builder is doing it. | <urn:uuid:527e5595-8b19-4c2e-877b-8b12e6bb3431> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://chicagohouseweb.com/what-is-sill-pan-flashing/ | 2022-01-17T19:07:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300616.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117182124-20220117212124-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.913609 | 318 |

EXCLUSIVE: Up-and-coming Brit actress Melanie Liburd has been cast as a Red Priestess in HBO’s Game Of Thrones. Liburd, who has appeared in The Grinder, Strike Back, Dracula and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, is repped by the UK’s Identity Agency Group, Talent Works in the U.S. and Silver Lining Entertainment.
Liburd’s casting would seem to indicate a new direction for the character, or at the very least a new incarnation. One Red Woman or Red Priestess had previously been played by Carice Van Houten, who embodied the form of Melisandre. Speculation has been rife that Melisandre would have a hand in bringing back the character of Jon Snow, played by Kit Harington, who was (spoiler alert) shockingly killed at the denouement of the previous season. The Liburd character is separate and different from Van Houten’s major recurring character.
Game Of Thrones is currently filming across multiple locations around the seven kingdoms. Liburd also has an untitled Kevin Williamson psychological thriller opposite Dylan McDermott in the pipelines.

Project Management involves the organization, planning, motivation, and control of resources in an organization so as to attain specific goals. For a project to be successful, leadership plays a dominant role in the execution of a project as the leader watches that all the goals are met and all the preconceived constraints, like time, budget, quality, and the scope, are honored (Bjarne, 2007). The main reason as to why many projects fail is because of poor leadership and poor communication, which leads to problems arising during the execution of the project. Proper planning is essential as it defines the project.
Many project problems often arise due to a failure in objectives defining as it is one of the major steps in project management (Lewis, 2006). In our case, Mr. Howe, after having suggested a new computer system project to Mr. Mistry, totally failed to define the full range of tasks and work as actual requirements were broader. In this situation, Mr. Howe failed to address issues like the size of companys departments, number of work places, working hours, services offered to the clients, and staff involved.
A project managers prior task is to plan and organize the execution of the whole work process which can be done through the understanding of all the goals of the project, companys needs, and challenges which might lead to the failure of the project (Harold, 2003). Mr. Howe, as the project manager, was supposed to fully understand the needs of the project as each department had its own, partly similar, partly different tasks, which require individual approaches to satisfy and simplify peoples work.
The project where Mr. Howe did not make any considerations for all the players who were involved in the entire work range was handled poorly. He stated that any person who has any dissensions can leave. Mr. Howe could involve all the three managers of the company as they are a part of the company and the project was aimed at benefiting the whole company and not just one department. Lack of cooperation and coordination among departments led to the total failure of the project as Mr. Howe never consulted the other managers in the initial steps of the innovation. Mr. Howe also allowed an outside person, Mr. Smith, to run the whole project and did not take part in it by himself, failed to explain the entire picture of the innovation system, explained all the tasks verbally, and, in addition, mentioned about the need of installing the system for other two departments only after two week after the beginning of the work.
In order for a manager to maximize the success of a project, the following six steps should be executed: project identification, determination of the desired outcomes, delineation of the component tasks of the project, identification of all the players, determination of the timeline for the project tasks, and reviewing, revising, and making relocations during the project conduction (Kevin, 2006).
The project starts on January 7th, 2014 with the Go ahead where it will be accepted. The project will be expected to run until February 2nd, 2014 (Figure 1). At that day, managers will assign tasks and duties, will set deadlines, and appoint responsible personns.
The project is expected to cost about ?24,520 (Figure 4); although, there might be some room for adjustments as the costs can fluctuate before the end of the project. The staffing costs will depend on the category of the staff where each worker will work for 7 hours every working day, 5 days a week as follows: MD at ?100 per hour, Managers at ?70 per hour, Systems Analyst at ?60 per hour, Junior Analyst at ?30 per hour, Systems Engineer at ?60 per hour, and Equipment and software cost to hire at ?100 per week. There will be no overtime as the staff will not work during the weekends and holidays (Figure 2).
A project has a limited scope, budget, and time. It can be represented as a triangle where all the three competing elements are normally termed as the projects triple constraints (Pankaj, 2007). If one side of the triangle is adjusted, it would mean that the other two will be affected. According to the plan of the project, if the interviews are added 4 more days and the hardware investigation added 2 more days, then it might end up with increasing costs as it would further extend the the finish date of the project. The reason for this is that there are other tasks which can to be done only when the interviews and the investigation of the hardware are completed. This might delay the finish date of the project from 04/02/2014 to 10/02/2014 (Figure 3). The costs would definitely increase in such case.
During the project conduction, there might appear unexpected problems, like the lack of enough resources required to successfully accomplish the project. Like in our case, the reduction in the number of system analysts available will lead to the activity alteration as the tasks of the project are sequential, which means that the implementation process would take a much longer time, and it would be almost impossible to overlap tasks (Figure 5) As there is no opportunity to assign another worker, the available system analyst would become overallocated, and, in the end, it might affect the scope of the project as there would be a need to pay overtime to make sure that the deadline of the project does not change. Definitely it will increase the costs drastically.
Project management is crucial for the continued growth and success of the company as it saves the money, time, and human resources. In todays competitive world, companies have to take advantage of all the activities which can help the company to cut down the operation costs and resources (David & Roland, 2006). A manager should concider every possible detail which can influence the final result of a project in order to gain a success. | <urn:uuid:935f5121-fd8e-4503-8376-649efe4ac73e> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://great-writings.com/essays/management/project-management-assignment.html | 2022-01-17T20:16:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300616.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117182124-20220117212124-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.967006 | 1,249 |

Seif Eddin Mustafa the hijacker of an EgyptAir plane who strapped himself with fake explosive belts allegedly confessed to the police that his reason for diverting the plane to Cyprus was so he could see his wife and family after 24 years but that’s a lie.
This picture shows him making a V sign from the police vehicle after his arrest.
The hijacker’s Cypriot ex-wife has also come forward to inform the police that the man in question is “extremely dangerous.” He has a history of drugs and domestic violence.
His estranged wife Marina Paraschou confirmed to a newspaper,
“This man never cared for his children for one minute, either when he lived here or when he went away.”
“He only offered pain, misery and terror. And even now when he’s in police custody, my children and I are afraid.”
Records from the authorities say Mustafa has been on a stop list since his deportation from the Island in 1990.
According to the wife, the hijacker’s claim that he was seeking asylum in the country was a “lame excuse”. Mustafa is a “fanatical” Palestine Liberation Organisation supporter. The wife continued, “he had bragged about participating in the killing of three Israeli soldiers.”
Marina Paraschou also rejected having any ties with the father of her 4 kids in the past years. She explained that contrary to what reports said about her meeting with the hijacker, the police only brought her to Cyprus so she could identify his voice.
The couple got married in 1985 when she was 20 and divorced five years later with 4 kids.
How could 59-year-old Seif Eddin Mustafa hijack the Airbus A320 with 72 passengers and crew on board and threaten to blow it up with a fake suicide belt out of love for for a family he never wanted? Marina says that his motives for the hijack is yet to be unraveled.
As Cypriot officials have described Mustafa as someone with mental problems, it is a mystery that no life was lost in the incident.
Mustapha never asked to see his wife so his act wasn’t for love but a selfish suicide mission miraculously aborted.
While the terror lasted at the airport, the hijacker had asked police negotiators to deliver a letter to Paraschou. The letter contained demands for the release of 63 dissident women imprisoned in Egypt. The said lunatic knew what he was doing and may have acted on instructions from a higher authority.
Mustafa asked the authorities after his arrest: “What’s someone supposed to do when he hasn’t seen his wife and children in 24 years and the Egyptian government won’t let him?”
When a hijacker turns to a romantic loverboy: The last time the hijacker’s wife Parachou contacted him was when one of their kids had a car accident and his reply at that time was, “What do I care? It doesn’t matter she was killed.” Mustafa just finished serving a one-year prison term in March 2015, Egypt’s interior ministry said.
In 1988, Mustapha was convicted on six counts of forging passports and handed a suspended sentence In Cyprus.
His deportation to Egypt was an outcome of domestic violence reported by Paraschou.
Mustafa forged a Qatari identity and entered Cyprus with the passport but was arrested and deported to Egypt in 1990. | <urn:uuid:c3fb10cf-b5f1-433d-864e-4ecd4db65c0a> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://meziesblog.com/egyptair-hijacker-is-extremely-dangerous-wife-says/ | 2022-01-17T19:19:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300616.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117182124-20220117212124-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.982763 | 736 |
It must be very nice for a company like Apple to build retail environments, as they have just about the deepest pockets on the planet. They can be about as expressive and exacting with their designs as they’d like.
The company has always cared about design, and their retail stores have shown this lately, with a slew of truly gorgeous architectural landmarks. More than just a shop to buy a computer, they feel like important additions to the built environment. Lead by Foster + Partners Architecture, each store has a different look and feel, but all of them adhere to a clean minimalism that the brand is known for.
The newest is Apple Central World in Bangkok, created with a huge cantilevered Tree Canopy roof. Visitors use a circular staircase that wraps around a timber core. Thee exterior is entirely clad in glass, bringing in ample natural light, and showcasing the building’s key feature. | <urn:uuid:368aedc9-8ebb-4683-bf51-46dde21663f4> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://mossandfog.com/apples-new-bangkok-store-soars-like-a-tree/ | 2022-01-17T18:42:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300616.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117182124-20220117212124-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.974998 | 185 |

Almost four years after the Christmas Day murder of Sophia resident Celwyn Allen, the man accused of killing him admitted to the crime today in Court.
23-year-old Bevon Griffith aka ‘Spooney’ appeared in Court this morning for the start of the murder trial, but opted to enter a guilty plea to the lesser count of manslaughter.
He was accused of stabbing Allen to death on Christmas Day in 2017 during a row and also injuring Allen’s girlfriend.
Allen was stabbed repeatedly to the body in the attack while his girlfriend sustained injuries to her hands and other parts of the body.
The incident took place in C’ Field, Sophia.
With the guilty plea by the accused today, Justice Jo-ann Barlow has set the 11th November for sentencing. | <urn:uuid:b021e38f-3cf8-46ae-835f-85e26541b523> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://newssourcegy.com/news/christmas-day-murder-accused-pleads-guilty-to-manslaughter/ | 2022-01-17T19:17:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300616.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117182124-20220117212124-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.970827 | 163 |
In case of any expiration of the license, it can always be renewed by restoring it or registering it. Otherwise, the license won’t be valid for use. Find NJMVC & NJ DMV charges for suspension and restoration of driver’s license.
Fees for Restoration NJ DMV Licence
This fee must be paid online which is $100. If there is a requirement of quicker proceeding of the mail then amount or check must be sent to NJMVC, with a small note of suspension to NJ MVC. But if it’s for a full-service vehicle agency then the payment must be given offline. It is very necessary to add the driver’s license number on each of the payments.
If the fines to the MVC are to be restored then you are required to show the proofs and they must be accepted. If all the reasons for the suspension are accepted and completed its period and paid the fees, then the restoration notice will be received through the mail.
Parking tickets for NJMVC
The tickets and suspensions are preceded by NJ municipal courts and MVC has to take on the decisions of the court by producing the suspension to the recorded history of the driver.
All the specifications mentioned below the ticket must be followed and if it’s lost then municipal courts must be perused. And mostly the payment is done through online or mail even offline.
If you receive fines for the vehicle plates that aren’t yours then you can approach the MVC and submit the proof of the old nameplate which is being fined and its receipt, the new ones and attach a letter with a ticket copy to it and send that so that they would resolve the issue.
Restorations of uninsured motorist suspensions under NJMVC Real ID
If in any case you are an uninsured motorist and got suspension then to restore it you must first produce a photocopy of present NJ insurance ID card or even the photocopy of present insurance policy for the vehicle through fax or mail.
Vehicle Ownership Verification
If you are no more owner of the vehicle or if its registration happens in some other state then;
It’s required to provide its registration certificate and the license plate to MVC and produce a receipt of giving away the license owners.
NJ point schedule
Here any drivers driving history can be checked by reviewing how many points are assigned on their license. If more than 6 points are given under 3 years of driving, then you will be surcharged. If 12 or more are given then the license will be suspended. These points are definitely helpful to improve the insurance rates. You can also try to deduct these points by attending some driving courses which are approved.
Driving Under Influence
A driver who has consumed alcohol of 0.08% and more is called DUI. There are penalties provided for such acts such as:
Fines, suspension of license, putting under bars, a command to do some sort of services to society, etc. There are also such penalties for underage DUI and for refusing the alcohol test.
And the ones who are subjected to any alcoholic or drug or driving offense they have to undergo the intoxicated driver program.
NJ MVC & NJ DMV are shifting to real id from October 1, 2020. In case you need a piece of detail information about how to pay the restoration charges online, you can go to the official website.

Diocesan website launches Christmas section
PORTLAND – The liturgical season of Christmas begins with the vigil Masses on Christmas Eve and concludes on the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, which this season is Jan. 9, 2022. During the Christmas season, we celebrate the birth of Christ. It is the feast of the Incarnation, the feast of God becoming flesh. The Christmas season is a time to reflect on the gift of salvation that is born with him, including the fact that Christ was born to die for us.
In an effort to offer a variety of resources to help as you journey through the Christmas season, a special Christmas section has been created on the diocesan website. Included in the section are Mass times at Maine churches for not only Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but also for the Feast of the Holy Family (Dec. 26); the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God (Jan. 1); and the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord (Jan. 2). Masks at Masses are strongly recommended.
In addition, you will find materials and information on the different commemorations and solemnities, Christmas events occurring at Maine churches, blessings, messages from Pope Francis and Bishop Deeley, Lectio Divina in English and Spanish, prayers, and much more. To visit the section, head to www.portlanddiocese.org/christmas.
In advance of Christmas, the diocesan website also features a special Advent section with many useful features at www.portlanddiocese.org/advent. | <urn:uuid:e2bddf6a-f5d9-482b-bc5c-ec67249f38fd> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://observer-me.com/2021/12/19/living/diocesan-website-launches-christmas-section/ | 2022-01-17T18:28:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300616.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117182124-20220117212124-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.953505 | 322 |
Friday wasn’t a lucky day for Gov. Gavin Newsom.
The stage was set — literally — for a positive announcement. Newsom, standing in front of shimmery gold and red curtains and a Wheel of Fortune-style gizmo in the California Lottery Building in Sacramento, randomly selected the first 15 winners of a $50,000 cash prize from the state’s vaccine lottery program. Confetti rained down on the governor as he held up a supersized check emblazoned with “Vax for the Win” and “FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.”
But then tough questions from reporters began raining down, and the state’s June 15 grand reopening started to look a little hazy.
First, Newsom suggested he wouldn’t take executive action to overturn rules passed late Thursday night by California’s workplace safety agency requiring many employees to keep wearing masks past June 15. Then, in response to a question from CalMatters’ Laurel Rosenhall, he said he would not end California’s state of emergency on June 15.
- Newsom: “This disease has not been extinguished. It’s not vanished. It’s not taking the summer months off.”
Keeping the emergency status allows California to bypass certain rules and expedite federal funding even as businesses reopen, which Newsom’s administration says is necessary to handle the lingering effects of the pandemic. But it also provides fodder to Newsom’s critics, who accused him Friday of wanting to hold on to emergency powers that have allowed him to unilaterally affect more than 400 laws and regulations.
- Anne Dunsmore, a recall campaign manager: “That seals the coffin. People don’t feel that he understands the pain they’ve been through.”
Just like that, the main takeaway from Friday’s event went from “cash prizes for getting vaccinated” to “Newsom doesn’t plan to end the state of emergency.” The rapidly shifting narrative underscores the extent to which the outcome of the almost-certain recall election may depend on timing. As Laurel reports, some top Democrats appear to be pushing for the election to be held as soon as mid-September — a move that could capitalize on promising polls and shorten the window for political pitfalls.
Meanwhile, Newsom continues to rake in donations, according to a CalMatters tracker, and endorsements. The California Teachers Association on Saturday said it would support Newsom against the recall, the latest influential union to do so.
The coronavirus bottom line: As of Sunday, California had 3,689,994 confirmed cases (+0.03% from previous day) and 62,470 deaths (+0.4% from previous day), according to a CalMatters tracker.
Plus: CalMatters regularly updates this pandemic timeline tracking the state’s daily actions. We’re also tracking the state’s coronavirus hospitalizations by county and lawsuits against COVID-19 restrictions. | <urn:uuid:f1d11194-be8f-4319-9320-778a09652dc9> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://piedmontexedra.com/2021/06/newsom-reopening-comments-backfire-state-of-emergency-to-stay | 2022-01-17T18:49:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300616.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117182124-20220117212124-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.94481 | 639 |

I got this because I read somewhere that green rooibos “tastes a bit like green tea.” I thought this would possibly be like a green vanilla tea, which would be delicious. It was not at all like that! The vanille tastes kind of weak and the tea doesn’t taste fresh or flavourful. Nothing here really tastes of quality and something in the aftertaste reminds me of that gross taste you get in your mouth if you accidentally eat an ant. Before you get that taste, there’s a nice, woody, kind of vanilla-y taste. If that were the whole tea, this would be delicious. That second taste is inescapable though, and it’s not good at all. This product just kind of tastes cheap and of low quality. I don’t recommend this product or anything from this brand, which I unfortunately bought five products from online. | <urn:uuid:1ccd1386-1e04-4b50-a7de-a8b8fb6255e9> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://steepster.com/teas/linea-natura/35225-green-rooibos-vanille | 2022-01-17T19:47:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300616.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117182124-20220117212124-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.966098 | 191 |
According to Calciomercato, Juventus are set to challenge Manchester United for Joao Cancelo’s signature this summer.
Inter Milan coach, Luciano Spalletti, has already confirmed the club cannot make Cancelo or Rafinha’s loan moves from Valencia and Barcelona respectively permanent, as per Goal.
The Serie A giants need to balance the books in order to be in line with UEFA’s FFP (Financial Fair Play) regulations.
The report, as linked above, suggests Valencia need €35 million for Cancelo and Inter Milan are unwilling to meet those demands.
Cancelo, represented by super-agent Jorge Mendes, could return to Valencia but it is thought his representatives will look for a big move this summer. Mendes also represents United manager Jose Mourinho, so it should be easy to strike a deal should the Reds show genuine interest.
The Portuguese full-back is also being linked with moves to Wolves and Juventus.
Cancelo would prove stiff competition for Antonio Valencia, who turns 33 next season, as Mourinho needs to find a replacement for the Ecuador international before it’s too late.
At least Cancelo is a right-back by trade! | <urn:uuid:7e371272-140c-44da-8ccb-dfd1dbc3d5eb> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://strettynews.com/2018/05/25/juventus-to-challenge-man-utd-for-23-year-old-defender/ | 2022-01-17T19:37:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300616.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117182124-20220117212124-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.934296 | 249 |
Meet Julieta Jankunas, a 22-year old field hockey player from Argentina.
Julieta obviously qualifies for the Olympic Babe O’ The Day, as well as an Olympian, since Argentina lost to New Zealand, then came back to beat Spain and China.
Julieta Jankunas (born 20 January 1999) is an Argentine field hockey player and part of the Argentina national team.
She participated in the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics, and the 2016 Women’s Hockey Junior World Cup. She won a gold medal at the 2019 Pan American Games. On club level she plays for Universitario de Córdoba in Argentina. In December 2019, she was nominated for the FIH Rising Star of the Year Award.
Women’s field hockey is pretty entertaining, and there are plenty of attractive women in the tournament this year. Hopefully Julieta will bring home some medals.
There are more photos below the fold…
Julieta really enjoys bikinis, and I really enjoy watching her wear them.

Singapore has the most robust data center business operations in APAC
DATA CENTER investment is to take off in Singapore, which took pole position in a recent report on the top 10 markets with robust business operations for data centers.
We’ve all heard the usual saying that data is today’s gold mine – though it’s an oft-quoted sentiment bordering on cliche in some parts, it’s pretty true that data has proliferated relatively quickly. According to real estate consultants Cushman & Wakefield, 90 percent of all the world’s data didn’t exist two years ago, indicating that we’re making more data than ever before right now than we ever have in the last hundred years.
The explosion of smartphone and digital technology has also driven up the demand for data bandwidth. Today, more and more people are working off smartphones especially in Asia Pacific where 3,109,117 terabytes of mobile data are consumed on a monthly basis.
According to Cushman & Wakefield’s’ Data Center Risk Index, Singapore is now the strongest market for the business operations behind the data center industry. The nation state leads a list because of the strength of its existing infrastructure, as well as the multiple opportunities for other, newer players to enter the market.
“One of the key factors behind Singapore’s booming data centre industry lies in its vast interconnectivity,” said data services firm Digital Realty CFO Krupal Raval in a statement to Tech Wire Asia.
“With no less than 17 submarine cables providing high bandwidth connection, businesses are able to take advantage of the low-cost and low-latency connectivity which enables them to be agile even when working across regions.”
Singapore leads the data game in Asia Pacific today, earning an average score of 84.50 out of 100, while rivals Korea, Hong Kong and Japan trail at 83.23, 78.73 and 76.48 respectively. The report weighs a number of factors to assess what are the top risks to the operations of business centers, and measures the success of such services in each country. The report considers criteria including energy stability, political stability, ease of doing business, and diverse connectivity in Asia.
Acording to the report, Singapore ranked high due to its “network infrastructure, diverse connectivity to major APAC markets, its pro-business environment and political stability.”
As part of the Asean coalition and due to its strategic location at the center of the region, Singapore has benefited from close proximity with its neighbors, which includes emerging markets such as Malaysia and Thailand, and big players with established networks such as Australia and China. This central location is key to Singapore’s rise as a data hub in the region, according to Pavel.
In order to deal with the rising demand for more data storage and management services, Singaporean companies have been rising to meet the challenge of a data-intensive future. The country currently has huge stores of data capacity, around 59 MC of IT power that is already available for use specifically by data centers.
The supply of capacity continues to flow. The supply of data center services in Singapore is likely to rise by 15 to 18 percent in the next year, while occupancy is estimated to reach 70 percent by the end of 2018.
Meanwhile, a local tycoon is looking to invest US$5 billion to set up his “One Belt One Net” firm, which will be looking to capitalize on the entry of Chinese firms into Southeast Asia.
The company owned by Oei Hong Leong will “build data centers, procure equipment and machinery, develop software, and recruit and train employees” who will become crucial to helping to manage the operations.
The business will also likely find itself buoyed by strong demand from investors across demographics, geographies and industries. According to the Data Center Frontier, more and more lenders and equity investors are interested in the performance of their data center developers. The International Data Corporation said that IT infrastructure spending is set to rise by as much as 18 percent this year as businesses bulk up on their servers and enterprise storage options.
Perhaps what will contribute most to the rise of investment in data centers is interest from those working off cloud systems. Since 2016, cloud operators have become the biggest clients of data center operators, overtaking banks and healthcare systems. This is partly due to the fact that all cloud systems are backed up by a data center, making the latter extremely precious.

In the broadest sense, my research covers reproductive crop plant biology and the effect of environment on seeds, plants and crops. Research on seeds includes seed quality development, seed storage (including the seed viability equation), seed dormancy and germination (including seed testing and crop establishment), and these interests in anhydrous biology extend to related aspects in fungal spores and pollen. The application of much of the seed research has been within the international networks of gene-banks; i.e. long-term seed stores for plant genetic resources conservation (one element of biodiversity conservation). This seed science and biodiversity conservation research covers the full range of flowering plants, agricultural and horticultural crops, forest species (trees and shrubs), and wild species. Research on flowering has been concerned ultimately with crop adaptation, by determining the quantitative effects of temperature and photoperiod on flowering (and hence whether or not grain and seed production will be successful). Climate change impacts research has been concerned with the possibility of interactions between the effects of increased CO2 and temperature and the effect of climate variability (i.e. extreme events at vulnerable stages of crop development) on crop production and crop quality, including the effects of environment and agronomy on grain and especially seed quality development from successful (or not) seed set onwards. | <urn:uuid:8e50d834-5732-49ec-8810-8fc2f2218fea> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://theconversation.com/profiles/richard-ellis-667774 | 2022-01-17T19:02:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300616.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117182124-20220117212124-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.936133 | 262 |
Fresh tabbouleh flavors get an added boost of protein from chickpeas, feta cheese and whole wheat pasta to make this a delicious side dish or entree salad.
Happy Monday Everyone! Today is the big day – I am in Los Angeles to attend the Live Finale of Biggest Loser Season 14!!!! I am counting down the minutes until I get to see Jillian, Bob and all of the contestants from past seasons up close and personal!! Ok, calm down Liz.
To help me out while I’m quickly trying to lose 20 lbs and get a spray tan before showtime, I’ve invited my friend Julia from A Cedar Spoon to guest post. Not only are we both mothers of toddler boys but we both come from Middle Eastern families and have garlic, lemon and olive oil running through our veins.
Today’s recipe that I am sharing with you is a Middle Eastern favorite of mine with a little twist. This Tabbouleh Whole Wheat Pasta Salad is inspired by one of my favorite salads at Trader Joes. It mixes the traditional tabbouleh (minus the bulgar wheat), chickpeas, feta cheese and whole wheat pasta with a light lemony vinaigrette that is perfect for picnics, lunch or dinner.
This is one of my go-to salads that not only tastes great but is healthy for you. Some of the health benefits include:
The extra-virgin olive oil used in the dressing is made up of monounsaturated fatty acids (healthy fats) which helps to lower your risk of heart disease.
The chickpeas are full of protein, fiber and are loaded with vitamins and minerals.
Lemon juice offers your body vitamin C and potassium helping to keep your immune system healthy.
And the list goes on…
As with many salads you can modify this to your tastes by adding vegetables like cucumber or red pepper, or using vegetable pasta instead of whole wheat pasta. Salads offer a chance to be creative in the kitchen.
By the second day you will notice the salad starts to lose the lemony taste because the pasta is soaking up the dressing. Add a little olive oil and lemon until the salad has the flavor you want.
I hope you get the chance to make this for your next family gathering or as a healthy lunch option.
Tabbouleh Pasta Salad

Why do so many suffer from Postnatal Depression is silence?
Postnatal Depression is only recently something I have clumsily braved to talk about, starting with trying to describe recovering from the experience. Looking over the heavy words my stomach clenches. It is not shame of admittance, but the regret of the neat, emotionally starched composure. Because whilst powerful I don’t think it earnestly and emphatically shares how terrible things were. What I felt, what I did.
Or what I almost did.
Then, I could not hold a pen, let alone sit down and try and detangle my feelings and put them in straight lines on paper.
Trying to remember the year, the first special year of my daughter’s life, is hard. Not just emotionally, but practically. My memory is patchy, smudged, like an old cinema real of film but without the romantic connotations and salted popcorn. It makes me realise how poorly I was.
But I will talk about it, even if part of me wants to angrily scrunch the past into a ball and throw it forgotten into the bin. Because that wont help anyone. The more that people talk about PND the more that will listen and the more that will understand.
So, where do I start?
Looking back, I wonder if it was inevitable. The support of the Perinatal Mental Health team guided me through a difficult pregnancy; months of bedrest – haemorrhaging, heart problems and the residual fear left from my sons’ traumatic birth. These weights were dragging on my mind and body even before the toxic concoction of post birth hormones and sleep deprivation. I don’t remember feeling happy much at all but with two children I endured, willing myself to just get through one day at a time. Watching the clock drag its weary hand around and around until bedtime. I think many do the same, either don’t realise what is happening or just ignore it. Keep going whilst slowly feeling that they are losing themselves. That they are a terrible mother. That they love their kids to the point it hurts but would jump a single ticket flight to Australia tomorrow and not care about casting off their life.
What it felt like for me.
There is no set template for Postnatal Depression. Where I didn’t bond with Leo, I did with Norah. I had a relaxed birth plan and a positive induced birth. Instead of rejecting my baby instead I felt like we were adrift in a fragile, little bubble. The world around felt too loud, quick and too much to manage. Let’s shut the door and stay inside. Safe. She didn’t leave my arms. I think it had been four long weeks since she began screaming when they diagnosed silent reflux.
I cried a lot too, helpless tears and lonely tears, tears of confusion and exhaustion. Hunched in the bath with the hot tap dripping onto my toes.
Conversations I had wouldn’t stay in my head, I think I ate but am not sure. I did take Norah to baby groups and the Midnight mothers pulled me through when I would sit almost sick with tiredness. My partner carried a lot and I don’t think I was always kind.
The overwhelming cycle of housework – laundry, meal planning, shopping, looking after my eldest all on three hours sleep seemed unescapable. I felt like a finger drawing on the shower glass you make in the steam – just hollow lines slowly fading away.
Intrusive thoughts would pray on me, they stand out the most. A barrage of anxiety. My eyes would leave my plate at the dinner table and suddenly see graphic images of my kids getting sick, or someone breaking in and hurting them, of getting hit by a car in the street. What happened if they stopped breathing at night? It felt like hours but was only seconds and I would have to constantly, calmly talk the terror away.
The memory of how real they felt is so strong my teeth are clenching.
What other people see.
Smiling. A face pale with tired eyes, but one that is still always smiling. It is a dangerous smile. One that gives those around you the reassurance of feeling. Of happiness, when in reality, you don’t really feel much of anything. I didn’t want to seem like an ungrateful mother. Even though I could say, ‘I have PND,’ I still wanted everyone to think I was happy and enjoying being a mum. When things got bad, sitting void in front of the GP she commented how, ‘I still looked good. Could still explain myself well, was very eloquent.’ It was meant as a compliment, a reassurance. A person can be crumbling inside and still sound like they ate a thesaurus. I recognised Postnatal Depression because this was not the first time I had dealt with it. But others won’t.
Recovering from Postnatal Depression.
Getting better did not just happen in a moment. I don’t recall when it happened, perhaps a few months ago. Nights were no longer filled with quiet despair. But it was not like I woke on a Tuesday skipping from my bed and singing out the window to the local pigeons like a Disney princess. Small unnoticed steps have led me forwards. Long walks, more sleep, laughing with friends, accepting, acknowledging, sharing. Medicine, CBT, asking for help. Tell your to do list to go **** itself. The waves of my emotion have lifted up and down since, but I have not sunk back to the murky depths of PND. I can cook dinner and get through the day without running out my font door in my bare feet to just get away.
I lost the first year of my daughter’s life to an illness. It wasn’t my fault. Or anyone’s.
We need to challenge the pressurised status of parenthood where standards just seem to be getting higher. Be the perfect mother goes well beyond coping; she needs to cherish, every single moment, home cook organic sugar free meals, not dislike her children even if they bite, have the perfect bottom and an Instagram ideal home. And in that home, she needs to run a small business so she can care for her kids and make money. She should definitely not drink gin and if she does, she is ungrateful and unworthy. She doesn’t exist.
It’s hard to spot a mental health problem when so many of the symptoms are also the symptoms of new motherhood. If you see someone or are in that place, then help them get help. It isn’t their fault.

Lahore administration carried out operation against illegal Khokhar Palace in Johar Town worth Rs 1.5 billion
LAHORE – The district administration on Sunday carried out an operation against illegally constructed Khokhar Palace in Johar Town area of Lahore.
In Johar Town, a heavy contingent of police was present along with the operation administration against the illegally constructed Khokhar Palace. The entire area was cordoned off. The additional deputy commissioner revenue (ADCR) Lahore and SSP Operations monitored the anti-encroachment operation.
During the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) operation, the back door and wall of Khokhar Palace and the house of Tahir Javed - nephew of Saiful Malook Khokhar - were demolished. 13 shops and several temporary huts have been demolished by the use of heavy machinery.
It was also reported that the government retrieved 38 kanals of state land allegedly illegally occupied by PML-N’s Khokhar brothers. It added that the value of the retrieved land is estimated at around Rs1.5 billion.
It is pertinent to mention here that the district administration stated that the Khokhar brothers had fraudulently encroached upon the land and were served notices prior to the operation. They also claimed that out of 177 kanals, only 131 kanals are owned by Saiful Malook Khokhar and remaining land is illegally occupied.
Earlier in December last year, Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has postponed operation against illegal wall of Khokhar Palace after facing resistance to avoid untoward incident.
The LDA has registered a case against Khokhar brothers for intervening in the demolition of the Khokhar Palace. According to the FIR registered at Nawab Town police station, Khokhar Palace was constructed after illegally occupying the lands of people. | <urn:uuid:f0624ef5-8f77-43a3-8d67-2755615c3a01> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://timesofislamabad.com/24-Jan-2021/lahore-administration-carried-out-operation-against-illegal-khokhar-palace-in-johar-town-worth-rs-1-5-billion | 2022-01-17T20:10:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300616.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117182124-20220117212124-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.968345 | 380 |

Most adults remember where they were on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001.
In New York City, there were some thunderstorms the night before, but that day, 9/11, had started out beautiful and sunny, with clear skies.
Then people started noticing that some large passenger planes were flying too low.
When the first building was hit, there was confusion. Even the office workers who were in the building didn’t know exactly what had happened, just that there was an explosion and lots of smoke.
The New York metropolitan area is home to the busiest airport system in the United States, with 3 major airports: JFK, Newark, and LaGuardia. On that morning, the air traffic controllers were also communicating about what they were seeing, and trying to figure out what was happening.
On the ground, there were many 911 calls coming in. Firefighters were deployed from stations all over the city, as well as police officers from the NYPD and the Port Authority.
One of the people involved on that day is my guest for this episode, Tim Brown. He was a New York City firefighter for 20 years, and that knowledge and experience lead to a job working in the Mayor’s office. He was specifically equipped to know what to do when any big emergency happened. He was one of the people who were in charge.
But like everyone else on that morning 20 years ago, he had no idea what he was about to experience.
