She Gods of Shark Reef (Roger Corman, 1958) 🇺🇸 "You'll never go in the water again!” Spielberg warned us in one of the posters for his cult film, Jaws. There's no better catchphrase to spoil your holiday. But I'm afraid that hanging the She Gods of Shark Reef poster in your living room, bedroom or bathroom – though not above the bathtub! – will only aggravate your "squalophobia" (or fear of sharks). It's because of all those shark movies that I'm reluctant to swim in the salty waters of the sea, preferring fresh water or even chlorinated water in crowded swimming pools – at least I'm not claustrophobic! A frightening scene plays out on this vivid and powerful poster, between a gigantic black shark glistening with voracity and a defenceless nymphet, bound hand and foot as a result of who knows what cruel punishment. The monstrous fish charges straight at her before our helpless eyes, staring murderously, baring its double row of jagged teeth, impervious to her imploring look of innocence. Three other aquatic goddesses rush to her aid, but in vain. If her predator does not devour her whole, its sidekick will gobble up the remains – except, possibly, the poor flowers, the reminder of a “lush earthly paradise”. Danger does indeed lie under the waves, at the foot of a reef where a "hideous stone god" reigns supreme. She is insatiable, with her constant demands for victims. Her face, as attractive as a death mask, is surrounded by a yellowish halo, spreading divine terror. The title in blood red letters leaps out of poster, announcing what’s to come: expect 63 minutes of horror and fright! This is exactly what I expected before I saw the film. Shocking images of nubile virgins torn apart by hordes of hungry sharks, dictated by the mysterious underwater burial rites of a vengeful goddess. The story takes place in Hawaii, on the island of Kauai to be precise, famous for its legends involving gods and goddesses, ghosts and goblins. Like Kū, the god of war who demanded endless sacrifices of girls and boys. And Pele, the goddess who furiously triggered earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. So Hawaii wasn't always the surfer's paradise it seems! Scriptwriters Robert Hill and Victor Stoloff must have been inspired by it, even though the goddess on the poster did not appear in the original title (the far less catchy The Shark Reef). But while the story is brimming in myths and superstitions, there is not a drop of blood in sight. This film can be watched by absolutely anyone – except a very demanding audience. Two brothers who have survived a storm (triggered by the goddess of the sea?) are stranded on an island populated exclusively by women pearl divers. They seem to have lucked out. But their arrival stirs the goddess' wrath once again when the nice blond brother (Bill Cord) falls in love with the prettiest woman (Lisa Montell) while the dark-haired brother (Don Durand), who has already killed a man, steals a bag of pearls. The village elder, Queen Pua, is merciless. In her eyes, there is only one deadly outcome: sacrificing the young woman to the sharks to appease divine anger. Dressed in her finest attire, she is pushed into the water by the evil matron. Saved in the nick of time by the blond brother, we can guess what happens next. They spend the last fifteen minutes of the film exiled on the famous shark reef they reach by building a makeshift canoe. The other brother is punished for his greed by ending up as shark food. The two lovebirds, alone at last, take to the sea emptied of its monsters and head towards a calm and soothing horizon. Initially prompted by the sort of morbid curiosity that drives you to watch horror films, I soon realised that it was a harmless B-movie adventure and stopped expecting anything other than exotic escapism. The tropical settings, with their lush vegetation and sandy beaches, are not, in fact, unpleasant. The same can be said of the bodies of the two muscular males, advantageously displayed by the simple female loincloths they wear throughout the film. While I learned a few things about Hawaiian customs (such as never breaking the "lei" or flower garland you are given), other details went straight over my head, such as the signals sent by raising flags or that strangely husky language, halfway between the local language, I presume, and Elizabethan English, which made me stick to the subtitles. I finally got used to the sharks, which seemed anaesthetised, if not euthanised, and gradually felt the urge to stroke them, as Lisa Montell does, gently pushing them away with her hand when they attack. I now know what I need to do one day to conquer my fear once and for all: go and whisper in the sharks’ ears! Directed by: Roger Corman Check out the French version of this article.

Get Your Eyes Ready for Allergy Season It’s difficult to enjoy a beautiful spring day through swollen eyes and a stuffy nose. Why is springtime so often accompanied by red, puffy, and itchy eyes? The answer isn’t always allergies, so let’s look at the different things that can cause allergy symptoms in the spring and what we can do to avoid or minimize these symptoms so that we can get the most out of this beautiful season. What Causes Seasonal Allergies? All kinds of things from pet dander to dust to perfume can cause allergies, and they aren’t always limited to a particular time of year. However, spring and autumn tend to be worse because of pollen. Some plants like grass pollinate in the spring, while others like ragweed pollinate in the fall. In these months, the air becomes full of tiny floating particles that can get caught in our eyes and airways and cause irritation. Anyone with an overactive immune system is likely to experience symptoms like itchy eyes, congestion, and frequent sneezing. The Eye’s Response to Allergens Typical allergy symptoms include redness, watering, and itchiness of the eyes, sometimes accompanied by a gritty sensation, swollen eyelids, a burning sensation, and increased discomfort with contact lenses. Taking decongestants can help with the respiratory symptoms, but a side effect is often that they dry the eyes out, which only makes the eye symptoms worse and leaves the eyes more vulnerable to airborne irritants! Soothing Allergy Symptoms One of the best things you can do in an allergy attack is to stay hydrated. You can also use eye drops (especially if your other allergy meds are drying out your eyes). It might be a good idea to stick to glasses over contact lenses as long as you have eye symptoms. Aside from being uncomfortable, contact lenses can trap allergens against the eye and worsen the symptoms. Whatever you decide about glasses and contacts, though, try to avoid rubbing your eyes. Can Allergies Be Prevented? Because allergens like pollen are airborne, it’s very difficult to completely avoid them during allergy season, but there are ways to minimize exposure. One is to keep the windows closed and avoid placing fans in front of windows where they can blow pollen into the house. A measure as simple as wearing sunglasses (or normal glasses) can offer some protection. Stay inside on windy days if you can, and wear a pollen mask if you have to do yard work. Ask an Optometrist for Allergy Tips! If you’re having a particularly stuffy and runny allergy season, the optometrist is here to help. We want our patients to be able to enjoy the season, so give us a call if you get hit with bad allergy symptoms in your eyes!

Tourism agencies organize complete culinary trips around Greece, promote wine tourism, and bring visitors closer to the Greek land.

Also, tasting rooms, collections and museums, guesthouses, are some of the elements that offer comfort and luxury for visitors’ accommodation. Nobody is left untouched by the notion of handmade and artisanal creations, or the products of zero preservatives. Producers are proud of this and the tourists can enjoy it, in any given opportunity. The Greek Breakfast is the primal ambassador of all the above. Rich, healthy and delectable, it is served in more and more hotel facilities. The development is rapid and constantly impressive – confirming that expertise and artistry can make wonders. Each place is endowed with unmeasured beauty and endless natural pleasantness that make it possible even for the most remote corners of Greece to be known by visitors. Yoleni’s is receiving all the above stimuli and driven by the excellence and the locality, looks for small-scale producers, people of passion and artistry, knowledgeable the benefits of pure ingredients. Following the paths of tradition, they highlight the gastronomic wealth of Greece! article by Yoleni's
Cold Water Swimming Throughout the ages people have been going ice swimming, but now going for a dip in a frozen lake is the trendiest thing ever. Join Elinor Jakobsson as she goes swimming in Fillstabäcken brook. They say that if you can control your mind you can control your body. And that is exactly what cold water swimming is about. Making up your mind, focusing and then stepping into the 2-3C water – no matter what your body tells you. Elinor Jakobsson has always loved swimming but in recent years ice-bathing has become a new passion. “The swimming season in Jämtland is quite short, so if I were only to go swimming during the summer, I wouldn’t get many opportunities. Ice-bathing is fantastic, it gives you peace of mind and it’s also fun at the very same time”, she says. Happier and healthier Cold-water swimming is said to make us happier, healthier and exhilarated. It is good for creativity and gives you great self-confidence. What happens in your body is actually a cold-shock response. When you lower yourself into the water your blood vessels contract, your pulse goes up and your blood pressure rises. The stress reaction gives you an endorphin high, which is why ice-bathers often are enthusiastic and energized afterwards. Elinor usually prepares herself very carefully before a swim. She puts on several layers of clothes and considers which ones are easy to take off. She makes tea and brings a thermos, she fills up a bottle with warm water to heat herself up with after bathing and this time, she also brings a heated wheat-bag to keep her hands warm. “But the most important thing is your mental state. You have to set your mind to it and then believe that it will go just fine. For this particular swim, the water in Fillstabäcken stream was about 2-3 degrees Celsius and the air temperature was about -23 degrees. “But”, she says, “it is more about the sensation in your body than the actual temperature.” Places for ice bathing For anyone wanting to try cold water swimming or ice bathing there are plenty of places to choose from. If you’re prepared to cut a hole in the ice yourself, there’s no end of options. Elinor recommends Kungsgårdsviken and Minnesgärdet. Surfbukten has a hole in the ice that is maintained all through winter. Keep an eye on the Facebook group “Vinterbad Östersund” for up-to-date information. There is also a hole in the ice by the boatyard on Frösön that is kept open, and there’s is ice swimming, a sauna and a hot tub at Vinterparken . Did you know that there are also advanced plans to build a cold-water swimming pool in Östersund? The plan is that the swimming pool will be 280 sqm and be located by the island at the pedestrian bridge connecting Frösön with Badhusparken. Just before Christmas politicians gave the go-ahead to the Committee on Environment and Community Development to proceed with their plans for the cold-water swimming pool. Remember this when you go for a swim Never go swimming alone Bring something warm to drink afterwards Bring shoes or sandals and gloves to wear while you’re in the water Bring warm clothes that are easy to put back on Consult your doctor if you have high blood pressure or other medical conditions

Qi (pronounced chee) is the vital force that is the source of all life. It is the basis of Chinese Medicine and is what gives us life and provides animation. When qi flows smoothly through the meridians of the body, like a gentle breeze through the tree tops, we feel healthy and alive. When qi is stagnant, similar to a dam blocking the flow of a river, it disrupts the flow of energy and circulation to the downstream tissues. Alternately, when there is not enough qi, akin to a dried-up riverbed, there is not enough energy and blood flow to nourish the downstream tissues. Both situations – stagnant qi and deficient qi – can lead to you feeling tired and fatigued. How can you boost your qi to increase your overall vitality and well-being? In Chinese Medicine, there are 3 sources of qi - Lung qi or qing (“ching”) qi is the source of energy that we receive through breath. As you take deep breaths filling the lungs with air, you take in oxygen. The oxygen is transported via the bloodstream to the cells where it is utilized to break down food in order to get the energy you need to survive. Increasing the capacity of your lungs and exercising your lungs daily is essential to boosting your qing qi. Here are a few suggestions to maximize your lung qi - Digestive qi or gu (“goo”) qi is the energy that comes from the food and drink that we consume. Digestive qi relies on the health and strength of our digestive organs and meridians such as the stomach, pancreas, liver and small intestine. Gu qi is dependent on the healthy functioning of these organs to break down the food that we eat and readily assimilate the nutrients. It is these nutrients that provide the building blocks for the activities and daily functioning of our cells. To strengthen your digestive qi – Essence qi or jing qi is the reserve of energy and essence held in the kidneys. The kidneys are considered very important organs in Chinese medicine. They are shaped like kidney beans, each one about 10-15 cm long, and are located on either side of the spine deep in the abdomen. We are born with jing qi, receiving this essense from our parents. We have a finite amount of jing qi. To protect and preserve your jing qi follow these simple tips – Daily exercise, deep breathing, eating a healthy diet, eating throughout the day, maintaining a balanced lifestyle, reducing stress and getting a good amount of sleep are all ways to boost your qi. Try incorporating one of these suggestions for 21 days and see if you feel more alive Acupuncture is a great additional resource to maximizing your energy as it tonifies lung qi, boosts digestive qi and nourishes kidney qi.

It's no secret that the site KRAKEN in just 6 months of existence, in terms of recruiting an audience, has jumped most of the darknet resources. In a short period, hundreds of thousands of users have registered on the v2tor.io website, including several thousand sellers. There are only a few but very important reasons for this Perhaps the first and most important reason for the sharp increase in popularity was the factor that everyone considers vk02.io the heir of Hydra. Everyone remembers how cool Hydra was and decided that the KRAKEN would be at least as good, and possibly better. And they did not fail, indeed KRAKEN took all the best from the closed Hydra, all services switched to this platform, support and administrators are clearly the same as the three-headed one. It is also worth noting the high-quality design of the site, which does not copy the previous resource, but still somehow resembles it, the same white background and dark text without banners and ads. But in addition to all this, the vk01.io resource also introduced an innovation that will allow you to be afloat for a very, very long time. KRAKEN decided to store data decentralized, that is, not on one server, but on dozens around the world. If one server is arrested, the rest will continue to work.
I can't believe I stubbed my toe last night. I was walking down to the kitchen last night because I was extremely parched. You know when you wake up in the middle of the night and your mouth is dry? Yeah, well that's me almost every other night. So I'm walking slowly downstairs because the whole house is pitch black. I use my hands to guide me by holding them out in front of me. Once I know I'm near the kitchen doorway, I go for the light switch and stub my toe on the fridge. Holding myself back from screaming.

These apps are free to download and will make scanning a QR code much easier on your phone. Another QR code-scanning option for Android users is to use Bixby Vision, a feature that’s part of the Bixby Assistant on most Samsung devices. In order to turn on this feature, launch your Camera application and tap the Bixby Vision icon in the bottom panel. Next, give the app permission and point your phone’s camera at a QR code. Your phone will display a notification if it’s enabled. You’ll need to hold your phone steady for a few seconds to complete the process.

Dubai Airports confirmed operations teams at both airports are ‘good to go’ for the commencement of the 45-day long refurbishment of the southern runway at Dubai International (DXB). The runway is nearing the end of its design life and requires a complete upgrade to accommodate future traffic growth. “Planning and preparations have been underway for almost two years in close coordination with Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects, airlines, dnata, the regulator and a host of other service partners to make sure this massive project goes off without a hitch. We’re confident we are fully prepared and good to go for April 16. We are encouraging passengers to confirm their airport of departure before they set out to take their flights but otherwise they can expect smooth operations and great service ,” said Paul Griffiths, CEO, Dubai Airports. The main visible difference for passengers will be a potential change in airports, although scheduling experts have optimised DXB’s one runway operation to the point where there will be only a 29% reduction in the number of available seats. Thanks to the additional capacity provided by DWC, the number of flights across the Dubai Airport system will see a reduction of just 19% and a seat reduction of just 20%. Many customers will get to experience the speed and convenience of Dubai’s second airport Dubai World Central (DWC) for the first time during the closure as it takes on additional traffic from affected scheduled, charter, cargo and general aviation operations. DWC will handle an average of 145 passenger flights per day operated during the period by airlines including flydubai, Wizz Air, Aeroflot, Indigo, SpiceJet, Gulf Air, Ukraine International Airlines, Ural Airlines, Nepal Airlines, Kuwait Airways and flynas.
After the statistic data of 2007, Slovenia breaks all the records on the tourist growth. Ecologically clear, reach in nature, culture and monuments of history, with numerous natural and artificial sweet spots, patience and modernization, become now the symbol of the new Slovenia. According to the latest information, 1,967,igiure dining places,petit hotel le soleil,hotel standard, the number of tourists has degdden from 5, parsimonious to 848lliure restaurants in Slovenia. The size of the hotels also has changed during the last year (by 8% on average). In the camp-site, the situation is loved equally with 5-star and with 5-star hotels. Once more, Slovenia surprises by herkeepers' paradise. In the hotel class, hotels in the mountains are built at a higher height than in the heartland. There are snowed ski-houses and a kind of emergency lodging. By the way, the highesthotel in Slovenian Alpsis in Zlatni Rat. Andylvia Liva Inno sleep in a truck with Catherine Iglesias and David potatoes on the way to the nearest village. And the road leads to the quite a few villages, where there is no road without a switchback and a depression, so that it seems to be a causeway, and the guests who come here can get into a truck. Every hour a PASS let through by the landslides, sometimes the bigger ones than 20-30 meters. Sometimes the passes are covered by thefallen timber. Just below the overload bridge the road gives way to theoverside bridge and the traffic somehow managed to get through and the lights get crossed. And on one bridge spanning the Sava River, the traffic miraculously managed to get out again, following the same narrow path that the flood had just left. Somehow the vehicle continues to glide over the steep road and the bridge gets higher and higher until it finally slides and the traffic is once more heard. Near Krsko, where the tourists had stopped for lunch, there is a tourist-iquette lesson about courtesy and respect for the things, respectful of the locals, and of course for the environment. The lesson is inverted when one of the tourists requests the salary of the local sheikh. "Do you earn?"

So he ignored the question and went on with the conversation around the table about his home, his mother, and later his brother. The sheikh had a magnificent house with carpets, dishes, and a garden. It seem that he had lived there for centuries. He invited us to look at it. "Look, you can see that there are mosquito-eaters in the tree!" he laughed. Well, the mosquito-eater was not interested in our shrieking and the producer ordered us to leave. Out of the six-vehicle convoy, two were still following us. The bus drove through the plantations and then erupted in a spectacular rainstorm. We got off in a safer place, but a little Coast-to-Coast speedsmile at loss of appetite. We had to eat. The sheikh would not let us eat in his kitchen – it might contain toxins that would ruin our stomachs. He cooked food in three different dishes on open fireplaces. We selected two meals: poultry in lamb's trotters, and geese in broth. lamb with sage wrapped in soaked rice, and geese in water cooked in a thick broth. We were enjoying the culinary fusion. From the diners we could see the sheikhs trousers rolled up in bundles with vegetables and herbs. They cooked a homemade soup in a big cast-iron cauldron. A cast iron frying pan show came with a demonstration of how the cooked food was golden on the outside, and still warm in the middle. I asked the sheikh if it was OK to seat the little ones at the table. "Nasi Lemak" he said in Malayalam, "We shouldn't have babies in the house." It was fine with me, but not my husband.

The Fractures in Time content update will be making its way to the PTR soon. Keep an eye on the official forums for updates and patch notes once the PTR is live. The Road Map has been updated to reflect the 10.1.5 content announcement. Emberthal and Ebyssian are working together to release the Black dragonflight essence that had been siphoned from the dracthyr during their long stasis, unlocking memories and powers forgotten to them. All Evokers can now choose to explore Azeroth as a new specialization: Augmentation. Read more about this new specialization in our preview article. The Infinite Dragonflight, long-standing enemies of the Bronze dragonflight, have worked hard to see their ultimate goal of triggering the transformation of Nozdormu, the Aspect of Time, into Murozond. This eight-boss Mythic-only mega-dungeon will take players across the timeways to stop the Infinite Dragonflight from succeeding. You’ll face Iridikron, among others, as you work to sustain Azeroth’s timeline and put things to rights once more. Join Together for Time Rifts The time streams have become a bit more unstable with recent events and as the boundaries between the timelines weaken, minions from other timelines have begun making their way into Azeroth. Players will join together to take on Time Rifts, push back against the waves of minions, and plug the hole to set the timeways straight again. Undertake new repeatable content in Eon’s Fringe as you work to settle the timeways and solve the problems brought about by their instability while reaping the rewards of a job well done. The dragons have more eggs than they can handle, so they've called in the crew at the Little Scales Daycare to help. The crew quickly finds itself overwhelmed and so has asked for a little help from their friends—you. You’ll guide five dragon whelps as they grow and learn about the dragon flights, earn Renown, and more. In the Fractures in Time content update, the Warlock class will become available to Night Elves, Draenei, Lightforged Draenei, Pandaren, Kul Tiran, Tauren, Highmountain Tauren, Mag’har Orcs, and Zandalari Trolls. Warlocks will also be able to undertake a new quest line starting with the quest "Beginning Impositions,” which will unlock a new imp pet customization. Players will also be able to visit the Barbershop to customize their pets. More class balance and tuning is coming for mages, rogues, Holy Paladins, and more.

Adrian Madaro has had a passion for public service for as long as he can remember. His mother and father have always been heavily involved in the community of East Boston, and as a result Representative Madaro’s childhood was marked by constant neighborhood meetings and town halls. He attended The Advent Elementary School and then tested into Boston Latin School, one of the three public exam schools. It was at BLS that Mr. Madaro confirmed that he wanted to pursue a career in local politics. The experience that the representative would say was the most formative was the summer he spent interning through the John William Ward Fellowship, where he worked for Jim Hunt, the Chief of Environment and Energy department for the city of Boston. Through the fellowship, Mr. Madaro was able to gain more understanding on local government and how it functioned, and while attending Tufts University, he applied to be a Shelby Miller Fellow. He spent the summer before his senior year working for U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand in Washington, D.C., but learned that his real interest was in local politics and interacting with constituents on a more personal level. Adrian returned to Boston and in his senior year at Tufts, he applied to be legislative aide to the then East Boston State Representative Carlos P. Basile. Mr. Madaro quickly rose through the ranks, and when Basile left to work as a cabinet member for Governor Charlie Baker, the State Representative seat was left empty. After encouragement from not only Mr. Basile himself but also from numerous members of the East Boston community, Adrian decided to run for State Representative at the age of 26. His familiarity with the neighborhood as well as hard work and dedication resulted in a special election victory. Adrian has been serving as East Boston State Representative since that election. He graduated from Tufts in 2011 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Anthropology and Child Development, and returned that same year to get his Master’s Degree Public Policy and Urban Planning. Mr. Madaro was not complacent, however, and while serving as Representative attended Suffolk Law School, and is taking the Bar Exam within the upcoming months. Adrian Madaro is a hardworking and committed public servant who even today embodies the qualities that the John William Ward Fellowship strives to teach.

CRAFT: The Magical World of teamLab With an interdisciplinary team of artists and scientists, Tokyo-based digital collective teamLab create some of the world’s most exciting immersive artworks. Having exhibited across Japan and around the world, 2018 saw the installation of teamLab’s first permanent exhibition – the Mori Building Digital Art Museum: Borderless. Filling a whopping 10,000sqm, Tokyo’s first immersive museum is true to its name, pushing the boundaries of art and technology with interactive exhibitions guaranteed to leave your head spinning.

Morphing and moving between exhibition spaces, and reacting organically to audience participation, no two visits will ever be the same.
The majority of finishers state that they believe parts cleaning helps optimize quality, productivity and profitability. Yet, despite uniform beliefs and claims from finishers about their cleaning process, differences in quality yield persist. Improper cleaning of finished metal parts leads to increased operational costs due to reworks, downstream contamination, customer rejections and process downtime. Implementing analytical testing of the cleaning/pretreatment baths will result in higher quality yield, but these analyses are often labor-intensive manual methods. By implementing Process Analytical Technology (PAT), these tests are automated to improve quality without compromising productivity and profitability. During this webinar, Steve Kline, Chief Data Officer at Gardner Business Media, Inc., discusses the consequences and costs of poor pretreatment/cleaning processes. Kraig Kmiotek demonstrates how process analyzers provide the technology, data and process optimization insight to enable digital transformation in the surface finishing industry.

- The Foundation of Workplace Comfort:- Office chairs form the backbone of ergonomic comfort in modern workspaces. Designed with the human body in mind, these chairs offer crucial support to maintain proper posture, reduce strain, and alleviate discomfort during long hours of desk-bound tasks. - Boosting Productivity Through Comfort:- Comfortable seating isn’t just a luxury; it’s a catalyst for productivity. A well crafted office chair ensures that employees can focus on their tasks without the distraction of physical discomfort. By promoting better posture and minimising aches and pains, these chairs empower individuals to work more efficiently and effectively. - Tailored Support for Every Body:- With adjustable features like seat height, lumbar support, and armrests, these chairs cater to the diverse needs of employees. Whether tall or short, slender or broad, everyone can find their optimal seating position for maximum comfort and support. - Versatility for Any Workspace:- From bustling corporate offices to cosy home workstations, office chairs are versatile companions in any work environment. In traditional offices, they contribute to a professional atmosphere and promote employee well-being. In the era of remote work, they transform kitchen tables and spare rooms into productive workspaces, enhancing focus and efficiency - Prioritising Health and Wellness:- Investing in a quality office chair is an investment in employee health and wellness. By preventing musculoskeletal issues associated with poor seating, these chairs contribute to long term well being and reduce the risk of absenteeism due to discomfort related ailments. Employers who prioritise the comfort of their workforce demonstrate a commitment to their employees’ health and satisfaction. - Cultivating a Positive Work Environment:- Comfortable seating isn’t just about physical well-being it also contributes to a positive work culture. Employees who feel supported and comfortable are more likely to feel valued and appreciated by their employers. This, in turn, fosters a sense of loyalty and dedication, leading to higher morale and retention rates. - Encouraging Dynamic Workstyles:- Office chairs designed for modern workplaces recognize the importance of movement. Many models feature swivel capabilities and flexible backrests, encouraging users to shift positions and stretch throughout the day. This dynamic approach to seating promotes blood circulation, reduces stiffness, and keeps energy levels high, fostering a more active and engaged workforce. - Aesthetic Appeal and Brand Identity:- Beyond their functional benefits, office chairs also contribute to the aesthetic appeal of a workspace. Sleek designs, premium materials, and customizable options allow organisations to curate environments that reflect their brand identity and values. A cohesive and visually appealing office space not only impresses clients and visitors but also instil a sense of pride and professionalism among employees. - Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility:- Growing environmental awareness, sustainability is a key consideration in office furniture selection. Many manufacturers prioritise eco-friendly materials and production processes, ensuring that office chairs contribute to, rather than detract from, sustainability initiatives. By investing in environmentally responsible seating solutions, organisations demonstrate their commitment to reducing their carbon footprint and preserving natural resources. - Investing in Employee Satisfaction and Retention:- Employee satisfaction is a cornerstone of organisational success, and office chairs play a significant role in shaping overall job satisfaction. Providing employees with comfortable, supportive seating sends a clear message that their well-being is valued and prioritised by the organisation. This investment in employee satisfaction can yield significant returns in terms of morale, loyalty, and retention, ultimately reducing recruitment and training costs associated with high turnover rates. - Adapting to Changing Work Trends:- As work trends continue to evolve, office chairs must adapt to meet the needs of a dynamic workforce. From the rise of remote work to the growing emphasis on collaborative spaces, chairs must be versatile enough to accommodate a variety of work styles and environments. Adjustable features, modular designs, and mobility enhancing features ensure that office chairs remain relevant and functional in an ever-changing work landscape. - Empowering Employee Wellness Programs:- Office chairs are not just tools for individual comfort; they also support broader wellness initiatives within organisations. By providing ergonomic seating options and promoting healthy sitting habits, employers can complement wellness programs aimed at improving employee health and fitness. Incentives such as ergonomic assessments and subsidised ergonomic furniture purchases further underscore the organisation’s commitment to employee well-being. In summary, office chairs are far more than just pieces of furniture .they are essential components of a productive, healthy, and vibrant workplace. By prioritising comfort, functionality, and sustainability, organisations can harness the full potential of office chairs to enhance employee well-being, productivity, and satisfaction. As the workforce continues to evolve, investing in quality office chairs remains a cornerstone of effective workplace design and management. The humble office chair plays a pivotal role in shaping the modern workplace experience. By providing comfort, support, and versatility, these chairs empower employees to work more comfortably and efficiently, ultimately contributing to a healthier, happier, and more productive workforce. Investing in quality office chairs isn’t just a smart business decision.it’s an investment in the well-being and success of both individuals and organisations alike

By Lizzie Heintz When my friend first told me about completing his personal challenge to listen to an album a day for the second half of the school year, I was overwhelmed. To be honest, I didn't know whether to congratulate him or ask him if he was okay. Instead of doing either of those things, though, I decided I'd challenge myself to do the exact same thing. I challenged myself to listen to an entire album a day for the entire month of June. This was a daunting task. I decided the best course of action would be to set ground rules: - Stick to albums released since 2016. It narrowed the search for music, but also gave me insight into the modern music scene I didn't have before. - Branch out in genres, because nothing's worse than hearing twenty different songs and feeling like they all melted into one. - Try to do regular tasks while listening to the albums. While I loved laying in bed and falling asleep to Fleet Foxes' "Mykonos" on repeat every night, I wanted to try to integrate the music into my daily life as much as possible (while still finding some killer new songs to jam to while vacuuming my living room.) And so it began. Starting off, I wanted to begin by listening to albums from artists I already knew had recently released new music. This made easing my way into a daily routine a bit easier to manage when trying to establish a system of finding each new album to listen to. I began with The Wombats' February release of Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life - this seemed like a promising start, as I like The Wombats and had yet to listen to their new album in full. From there, I dove in. I used to think I had a fairly specific music taste; anyone who caught me with headphones in would generally see a 2005 Panic! At The Disco album cover or my All Time Low-heavy throwback playlist on my screen. I liked branching out, but I usually just found myself listening to the same five albums over and over wishing someone would slap me in the face with new music and say, "Here, this is exactly your taste and there's no way you won't like it, listen!" Unfortunately, this isn't how discovering new music works. I was pleasantly surprised to find during this endeavor, though, that I do like more than early 2000s pop-punk - in fact, it opened my eyes to the fact that I like pretty much every genre. What started off as a way to kill time during the summer and have something to talk about with my friends turned into, what I like to call, a path of self-discovery. Although P!ATD's "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" will always have a special place in my heart, older incarnations of music I once listened to out of habit were replaced by new songs. Noname's "Sunny Duet" and Nick Mulvey's "Unconditional" were among those. I started to genuinely look forward to whatever album it was next, whether it ended up being good or bad. So what came of it all? An album a day is a big commitment, and there were definitely days I wanted nothing more than to fill my ears with cotton and never listen to anything again. In the end, though, I discovered a new passion for music in myself that I didn't know I had before. A good album tells a story, gives a message, spreads love; it's good to know so many are still out there, just waiting for someone to listen.
The Argentine presidential election is heating up, with libertarian outsider alight Esteban Bullrich trying to take on the established candidate Mauricio Macri in a political showdown. Esteban Bullrich is a former member of the Cambiemos party, and in the primary election he secured second place with one million and four hundred and ninety-six thousand votes. A leading public health official, he was critical of the President’s handling of the economy and accused Macri of failing to heed to advice that would have put the country in a better place before the pandemic hit. Since then, Bullrich has been actively campaigning, reaching out to potential voters in the hopes of gaining their support. At the same time, the incumbent president Mauricio Macri is running on his platform of economic success, arguing that his administration has made life better for all Argentines. He also touts his accomplishments in tax reform, pension reform and dealing with government debt, all of which have been supported by the International Monetary Fund. Macri has also pushed for greater regional integration, and he was a leader in the effort to create the Pacific Alliance free-trade bloc. With both candidates claiming successes, the election has become a battle between their promises and their backers. Esteban Bullrich is backed by Brazil’s former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, as well as former president Christina Kirchner and her husband, Eduardo Duhalde. Meanwhile Macri has the support of the business community and the IMF. The key factor in this election will be the turnout. The number of people who turn out to vote will determine which candidate will win, and it is likely to be a close race. It remains to be seen who will win, but the election will be a showdown between the libertarian outsider Esteban Bullrich and the long-standing president Mauricio Macri. It is going to be a close contest and it is certain to be an interesting few weeks until the election is held.
People are always looking for an outlook on what the future has in store, and the world of technology is no different. For the last few years, Mish’s Outlook 2024 has been predicting the trends and gadgets that will become popular in the coming years. This year’s forecast is even more interesting, and it makes some fascinating predictions about what to expect. The first thing that Mish’s Outlook 2024 has identified is the emergence of image-rich online cultures which are slowly taking over the traditional methods of storytelling. Mish’s Outlook 2024 has pointed out that more people than ever before are utilizing augmented reality, 3D printing, and other visual technologies to tell stories and share ideas. Combined with the increasing virtualization of real-world activities, this could lead to a whole new way of life for the future. Secondly, Mish’s Outlook 2024 has noticed that the proliferation of mobile devices such as wearables have restructured the way people interact with technology. People are now more comfortable with wearable technologies than ever before, using them as a means of staying connected to their digital lives. This has lead to developments such as voice-enabled shopping, where personal assistants like the Google Home and Amazon Echo allow you to make purchases with just your voice. Another foreseeable trend from Mish’s Outlook 2024 is the transformation of the healthcare industry through digital platforms and tools. The use of AI in medical diagnostics, as well as telehealth, telemedicine and other innovative healthcare solutions, is only going to increase in the years to come. As people become more comfortable with the idea of having their medical information stored digitally, it can give them better access to improved treatments and solutions. Lastly, Mish’s Outlook 2024 has identified that automation is likely to impact the future of work, with AI-driven automation technologies revolutionizing more and more industries. As a result, people will need to adapt to the changing labor landscape, and re-educate themselves if they want to remain competitive. All these trends identified by Mish’s Outlook 2024 seem exciting and promising, and it will be interesting to witness the emergence of these interesting innovations in the upcoming years. It looks like a lot of exciting developments are in store for us, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds.
Opening CS2 cases can both be exciting and addicting. Trust me, with thousands of hours poured into the game, along with a handful of hours debating whether to open cases or sell them for profit. But it’ll always be a joy to watch as the animation plays and be on the edge if you’ve unboxed an expensive skin or gotten a worthless one. It’s a fun experience that you shouldn’t miss out on. So, through my experience (and hurting wallet), here are 8 of the best CS2 Cases I can recommend. \|Return on Investment (ROI) \|CS:GO Weapon Case 3 \|Prisma 2 Case \|Danger Zone Case CS:GO Weapon Case 3 The CS:GO Weapon Case 3 is what I believe to be the best CS2 case to open right now. It has one of the highest ROIs in the market while still being cheaper than its rarer brothers. It also features a solid range of fantastic skins that are perfect whether you’re investing or simply looking to add to your collection. Overall, it’s a solid Case for you to open that you can’t go wrong with. The Chroma 3 Case is one of the hottest cases right now. The insane popularity has led to a massive jump in case prices. Earlier this year, the case was available for around $1; now, it has nearly tripled its value. The skins within the case aren’t slouches, either. They all look spectacular and take advantage of the new lighting elements within the game. Prisma 2 Case If you like colors, then the Prisma 2 Case is the perfect Case to open. It contains some of the most colorful weapon skins in the game, which now looks absolutely stunning thanks to CS2’s new engine. It’s one of the newer cases on the list and contains some pretty solid and unique weapon skins. It also contains one of the best CS2 Knife skins if luck is on your side. You might want to check out its brother, the Prisma Case, because that also holds some fantastic skins waiting to be unboxed. If you’re a bit tight on cash but still want to open some CS2 cases, I highly suggest getting your hands on the cheap Recoil Case. It provides crazy value, being available under a dollar but still delivering some fire CS2 skin. It also has a solid return of investment value of about 50%, so you’ll be getting your money’s worth. While the Spectrum Case may be among the older options on our list, it still continues to shine in CS2. Inside, you’ll discover some of the finest USP-S skins, including the Neo-Noir and other stunning skin lines like Bloodsport, Decimator, and Fever Dream. The case also holds value for Knife collectors because of its wide collection of Marble Fades, Dopplers, and more. I also invite players to check out the Spectrum 2 Case, as it comprises some similarly well-valued skins. The Gamma Case is another excellent choice at a 52% return on investment rate. It’s also decently priced, making it affordable for massive unboxing sessions. The Gamma Case is a top pick for collectors because it contains a variety of popular Knife types. However, it’s not just for collectors – it also holds a little bit of everything for everyone. Danger Zone Case The Danger Zone Case is the Case with the most skins on our list. It comes with a whopping 69 different skins, including over 52 different Knife skins. It contains a good mix of expensive and rare skins, some cheap but popular ones, and even some underrated skins in between. Overall, it’s still a great case to open, mostly because of the sheer number of skin variations available inside. Wrapping up our list is the Clutch Case. The Clutch Case presents an excellent option when you’re Glove hunting. It houses solid choices, from the stunning M4A4 Neo-Noir to the fan-favorite USP-S Cortex. Not to mention the extra flare that the CS2 update gave these skins. Add a good blend of dark colors and hues to your skin inventory by opening the Clutch Case in CS2. The CS:GO Weapon Case 3 is my choice for the best Case to open in CS2 right now. The high ROI and profit percentages are just way too good to pass up. It also makes for a good long-term investment because of its ties with the now-gone CS:GO. What more can you ask for in a Case? Everything else on the list is definitely still worth looking at. They each contain unique weapon skins that you might be looking for. So make sure to check them all out. What’s your best pull from a CS2 case? Comment it below.

Depending on where you are in your own cancer journey, that statement might be hard to read. How could cancer change your life in a beautiful way? Let me start at the beginning. Now 8 years ago, I started to transition my nutrition approach to be more plant-based after stumbling upon the research related to nutrition and cancer as an oncology dietitian (whose family has been burdened by cancer for generations). But at that point in my life, I was struggling with infertility and PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). As a last ditch effort before moving on to more aggressive fertility treatment, I ditched the animal products for good. And I got pregnant. Finally. And gave birth to a healthy, beautiful baby girl. A few years later at the age of 33, only 10 days after completing my breastfeeding journey with my second baby girl, I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma - breast cancer. I heard over and over again, "You are the healthiest person I know! How could you have cancer?" Of course I wondered, "Why me? How did this happen? I was doing everything 'right'." After identifying that I carry a genetic mutation that increases one's risk of developing cancer - I learned, again, that I was dealt a difficult deck of cards when it comes to health and disease. I realized I could keep focusing on the unfairness of it all, the things cancer was taking away from me - my breasts, my opportunity for another child, etc. - and questioning how this happened after doing "all the right things" (although, not perfectly). Or, I could instead focus on what cancer was giving me. Of course I wish I could have learned what cancer has taught me without a life threatening disease - but I'm not so sure anything less would have taught me what I needed to learn. I realized that all the things I did right were going to be what was going to help me thrive through surgery, chemotherapy and immunotherapy. And if I let it, cancer could be my teacher. I went back to all the strategies I've taught hundreds of cancer patients over the years - the things that are within our control. Nutrition, lifestyle, mindset. It started with knowledge, that led to empowerment, and ultimately... Being fully present. Loosening cancer's grip. Living my best, healthiest life. And although hard, it's been so worth it. Now it's your turn. There's so much out of your control when it comes to cancer. But cancer shouldn't be in the driver's seat. Let's shove it into the passenger seat...better yet, the backseat (darn, backseat driver)! If you're ready to become empowered with knowledge coupled with the tools, resources, and community you need to grab the reins - know that I'm honored to help you get there. I’m so excited that you’re here! Allow me to introduce myself… My favorite title is “Mama”, but I’m also proud to be a board certified oncology dietitian and cancer thriver! I’m one of the biggest nutrition nerds you’ll ever meet 🤓 and am incredibly passionate about teaching others the power of nutrition and lifestyle as a complementary approach to reduce the risk of cancer and its recurrence. I’ve taught hundreds of cancer thrivers my approach to optimizing plant-forward nutrition and used my very own teachings to help me thrive through surgery, chemotherapy and immunotherapy. I couldn’t be more honored to have you here to help you do the same! Here’s to Thriving - * Re-certification exam required every 5 years.

“I think Bigfoot is blurry, that’s the problem. It’s not the photographer’s fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that’s extra scary to me. There’s a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. Run, he’s fuzzy, get out of here.” – Mitch Hedberg Pocatello has a little-known tie to the bigfoot world in ISU Professor Dr. Jeff Meldrum. Dr. Meldrum is an anthropology professor and one of the regions leading experts on bigfoot. He is a renowned speaker and filmmaker on the subject of bigfoot and knows something of elusive and unconfirmed species. He has also headlined Pocatello conferences on the subject of bigfoot, and Pocatello has also been known for a sighting or two of the skunk ape itself. But did you know that Pocatello is also home to another legendary species: the Idaho democrat? I would consider myself a fairly active guy when it comes to current affairs and local policy. I don’t really have much of a choice but to stay on top of issues so that I am prepared to give my over-valued opinion on any given subject of local import. This is why on numerous occasions, I have reached out to my elected officials to express my concerns and desires for how we legislate at the state and local levels. Some may feel uncomfortable reaching out to a representative who doesn’t align with them politically. Nonetheless, elected representatives are your voice in government, and you must reach out to all who speak on your behalf, even those of the opposite political party. On each occasion of contacting local elected democrats, it is common to be reminded that I’m not speaking with a democrat but an “Idaho democrat.” I’m sure the response would be the same should I contact any elected democrat in the state. In caveating their allegiance as Idaho democrats, we’re told that these Idaho democrats are different. These aren’t the blue-haired crazies of San Francisco, Portland, or Seattle. These are democrats of a different breed from an older generation. Perhaps more in the mold of John F. Kennedy? To this, I say, nonsense! There is no such thing as an Idaho democrat. There is only a democrat. Like him or hate him, Donald Trump is more akin to a John F. Kennedy than anything currently residing in the left spectrum of America. Trump was a trade protectionist, supported blue-collar America, passed tax reform that predominantly landed in the middle class, and vociferously demanded secured borders. Even his social conservatism aligned with that of JFK. Let’s not forget that Trump was a registered democrat for much of his public career. The modern Democrat Party is authoritarian, divisive, racist, misandrist, classist, economically illiterate, perverted, and anti-American. There is never a historical instance where we find John F. Kennedy advocating for an anti-American policy or sympathizing with pedophiles and child groomers. For those who’ve recently left the party, they say it was the party that left them. This is not to say that local democrats would have or do support these things, but it is to say that we are known by the company we keep. That any modern democrat can look at the policies and results of the left spectrum of America today and say, “this is who I identify with,” is a conundrum to me. Which progressive city is that they are aspiring to? Chicago? Detroit? Baltimore? I’m unaware of any scenario where a democrat has taken hold of a government apparatus and made it flourish. For cities like Boise that have embraced modern democrat philosophies, a glance at any of these cities should foreshadow to them what awaits. If I were a sasquatch, Idaho would surely be a place to put down roots. For the most part, I’d find a population of people who just want space and to be left alone; a bigfoot paradise. If I were a bigfoot researcher, I’d start first in those places where they don’t claim to be Idaho democrats. At least then, I’d be surrounded by people who don’t promote mythological creatures.
As part of the settlement deal, Disney will drop all lawsuits against the newly commissioned Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) and will get to retain its previous permits. Directly following news of the settlement, DeSantis even hinted that Disney should open up yet another park in the Sunshine State—a tit-for-tat. It’s funny how these things work, isn’t it? Several months ago, no one could have possibly imagined DeSantis hinting at Disney opening up another park in Florida, yet here we are. I wonder how long the peace will last between Disney and DeSantis, and this is yet another reminder that going woke leads to going broke and other undesirable outcomes. Here’s what everyone is saying: 🚨 BREAKING: Walt Disney has admitted defeat and DROPPED ALL lawsuits against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis — a MASSIVE win for the state of Florida. pic.twitter.com/34rpWfXFys — Proud Elephant 🇺🇸🦅 (@ProudElephantUS) March 27, 2024 BREAKING: DeSantis reacts to legal victory over Disney, says the company should consider a 5th theme park in response to Universal "Universal is [launching] Epic Universe […] I gotta think Disney would have an interest in [another park]." pic.twitter.com/dtTlK2tjRi — Florida’s Voice (@FLVoiceNews) March 27, 2024 The Epoch Times provided this statement from DeSantis’ office following the settlement: “We are glad that Disney has dropped its lawsuits against the new Central Florida Tourism Oversight District and conceded that their last-minute development agreements are null, void, and unenforceable,” Gov. Ron DeSantis’s Communications Director Bryan Griffin said. “No corporation should be its own government. Moving forward, we stand ready to work with Disney and the District to help promote economic growth, family-friendly tourism, and accountable government in Central Florida.” Conservatives pointed out how the media got it wrong yet again and lambasted the MSM establishment for painting the lawsuits against the Florida regulatory body as slum-dunk cases. As Disney loses to DeSantis yet again, it’s a good reminder that if there’s one thing you can count on with absolute certainty, it’s that the media will get everything wrong, never admit it, then demand censorship for everyone else https://t.co/KbAUIXW6iB — Ian Miller (@ianmSC) March 27, 2024 The Disney-DeSantis story was some serious media malpractice. Big portions of the media invented a constitutional right to a legal carve out and subsidy that itself was only won through political favors and influencing! Obviously no such right exists, lol. — Zaid Jilani (@ZaidJilani) March 27, 2024 Daily Mail explained: Hours before the CFTOD took over, Disney entered into last-minute agreements with the Reedy Creek board to try and stop the new board from enforcing new powers over the area. Wednesday’s settlement sees Disney acknowledging the Development Agreement is ‘null and void’ and has ‘no legal effect or enforceability.’

The following post was written by Co-Founder Harry Leibowitz. We hear so much news about children getting into trouble at a young age that I thought it would be good to alter the paradigm just a little bit. This is the story of Thomas (age 12) and Mickey (age 10), two young brothers in the San Diego area. Their Mom works for a global charity that supports vulnerable women and children, and after watching their Mom, they decided that she “needed their help”. Imagine that! They were fascinated by some of the handmade bead bracelets Mom had brought back from Africa and they decided to learn how to make them here and sell them to raise money for the charity PCI Global. But they did this in a most unique way, and we can all learn from them. They used a model they had learned from Junior Achievement and set up a company involving two of their friends, Billy and Bella, and they made and sold beaded necklaces and bracelets. Before you knew it they had raised over $1,000 for the charity. But that’s not the end of the story. They soon realized that they could do even more good if they actually bought the beads from women in Africa who make them for a living. By doing this they realized they were helping at both ends of the financial spectrum; they were giving viable, sustainable work to women in Africa who needed the jobs and they were using the funds raised to help others through PCI. Their creativity and commitment show that young people can and do make a really significant difference in the world, especially if we give them the chance and the role model.

M ZAHIDUL HAQUE A children’s book titled-‘The Bench’ written by Meghan Markle is expected to be published in the coming June. Inspired by a Father’s Day poem composed by Meghan for her husband Prince Harry, the book explores the bond between fathers and sons as perceived through a mother’s eyes. Meanwhile, in order to sell her book, Meghan has used her royal title as inscribed on the cover—“The Bench By Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex”. Now a question has arisen, whether Meghan should be allowed to author her book using her royal title, that is, ‘Duchess of Sussex’ as both Meghan and Prince Harry had stepped down as senior members of the British Royal Family and left their roles as working royals? It may be mentioned here that in their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had brought some sensitive allegations against the Royal Family including racism. However Winfrey later clarified that the royal who had made the comment was not Queen Elizabeth II or Prince Philip. The Oprah interview had markedly damaged the public image of duty and decorum maintained by the Royal Family and hurt the feelings of thousands of millions of Royal Family fans/admirers in Britain and the world over. Under this situation rising of the question whether Meghan can use the royal title after her name as the author of ‘The Bench” is quite natural and logical. The London Daily Express newspaper had recently conducted a poll participated also by this writer asking whether ‘Meghan Markle should be allowed to use her royal title to sell her new children’s book’? More than 27000 votes were cast and the result revealed that 98% of the voters do not believe they should be using their royal names. In fact, many admirers of the royal family feel that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should stop using all the references related to their association with the Royal Family since they have chosen to quit their roles as royals.

Libby Ross \| June 2, 2022 Write teamed up with Jan Feld, a senior lecturer in economics, to find out if writing quality matters to academics. And our study suggests it does! Clear writing improves how academics perceive your paper, and increases your chances of publication and going to conference. Jan designed the experiment and we supported him with our expertise as editors and clear communicators. Through Jan’s discipline of economics, we tested whether writing quality matters to the gatekeepers of the research world. No other study appears to test the impact of writing quality in the same way. We edited 30 papers written by PhD students in economics, making the language clearer and more concise without changing the content. Then we surveyed writing experts (such as editors and copywriters) to test whether our editing had improved the writing. We also surveyed academic economists from different universities to see if the editing changed how they perceived each paper. Our study had approval from the Human Ethics Committee at Te Herenga Waka — Victoria University of Wellington. As we’re not economists, we could confine our editing to the writing without changing other aspects of the papers or the ideas they contained. Three of our consultants edited 30 papers from PhD students in economics. The students could keep the edited papers in exchange for their help. We worked with the students to ensure we only changed the words and not the meaning. We spent about 6 hours editing each paper, focusing mostly on the Abstract and Introduction (with minimal changes to other sections). When editing the papers, we broadly followed a set of editing guidelines that we had designed with Jan. The changes we made the most often included: We then asked 18 writing experts and 30 academic economists to evaluate 10 papers each. Each expert saw the original version of 5 papers, and the edited version of 5 other papers. No expert saw both versions of the same paper. And the experts didn’t know that some of the papers were edited. Each expert spent about 5 minutes on each paper — mimicking the quick review process journal editors use when deciding whether to accept a paper for a conference or whether to send a paper out for review. The writing experts confirmed that the edited versions were better overall. They also evaluated the edited papers as: The academic economists also evaluated the edited versions more positively. They judged the papers as: The quality of your ideas and research is still important — but our results show you need to communicate those ideas clearly to have an impact. English is the main publication language for academic journals, especially in sciences like economics. The results of our study have implications for researchers who are non-native speakers of English. Researchers from non English-speaking countries may face additional language barriers in publishing their research. We think PhD students are sometimes disadvantaged because they haven’t learned to write well enough to have a paper accepted for publication. In our experiment, we focused on editing the Abstracts and Introductions of the papers. Imagine the difference if we had edited the entire papers! And many students leave university not knowing how to write clearly and concisely, even if English is their first language. At Write we often work with new graduates who have started their first job full of enthusiasm, only to discover that academic writing isn’t what’s needed in the business or government world. Although we don’t often work as consultants inside the academic world, we welcomed this opportunity to make a small but important discovery about how academics value clear writing. Publishing journal articles is a huge part of sharing new information and building an academic reputation. We know that clear writing matters to most readers — and our experiment shows that it matters in the academic world too. We thank Jan for inviting us to work with him in an area that has surprisingly little evidence. We hope this work contributes to a shift in attitudes to what constitutes ‘good’ in academic writing. We’re submitting our paper to reputable economics journals and hope to publish it soon. For now, we’ve finalised the results of our study and published a brief summary that you can read in this brief Twitter thread. We give a big thank you to all the PhD students, writing experts, and economists who participated in the experiment. We also thank Dr Sam Lentle-Keenan for her help on this project while she was at Write. Finally, we thank our chief executive, Lynda Harris, for supporting our involvement in the project as part of Write’s long-time support of the global plain language movement. Corinna Lines and Libby Ross are Write consultants who specialise in helping organisations make their written communication clear and concise. Our work and research has positive impact in other areas that benefit communities.

Neural and Physiology Research Neural and Physiology Research Raman spectroscopy plays a key part in SSIM’s research into neural systems and physiology, including a bioreactor for growing neurons for use in biomachinery and for neurological research. SSIM’s expertise in nanoscale engineering is being used to develop sensors, integrated into helmets, for detecting hydration levels and traumatic brain injury in soldiers, footballers, hockey players, and others, and for creating chips to restore vision to the blind. If you are interested in any SSIM project as an investor, philanthropist, or potential partner, please email [email protected] or complete the short form at the bottom of this page and we will contact you. We have developed a fractal-based bioreactor system for 3-D neuronal growth. Currently we are investigating a proof of concept that relies on electrical input and output for the stimulus and “behavior”. The capability to monitor the activity of neurons while processing a signal from input to output will add insight into the plasticity of the brain. Future iterations of this device could incorporate cell populations that respond to stimulus such as light, vibration, chemotaxis, temperature, or pressure. These cell populations could be separated from the neural network with semipermeable membranes that allow neurotransmitters to begin the signaling cascade. Likewise, the output signal could be funneled to cultures of motor neurons that once stimulated could move a small device. This system could be tested to determine if a small population of neurons could be trained with through stimulus and response. In addition, multiple devices could be combined and separated by a semipermeable membrane to gain insight into how white matter tracks passing orthogonally to each other can influence signal dynamics of passing signals. The algorithms developed with this model will provide a look into a neuronal network based on real time stimulus and output of a collection of neurons arranged to deliver a singular output. In addition, the algorithms could be enveloped into research in brain/machine interface, particularly surface EMG electrodes that do not penetrate the brain and therefor do not have as strong a signal as penetrating electrodes, as well as neural prosthetics whose electrodes penetrate the brain, but lose the signal over time due to the stiffness and biocompatibility of current electrodes. Helmet Integrated Neurospinal Hydration Sensor The NSHS program goal is to design and integrate an ultra-thin, flexible electronics based, low cost, stretchable sensor system for precision passive measurement of both levels of human hydration and force-induced body injury. Hydration is a critical nutrient for optimal functioning of the human body. Water balance is precisely regulated within the body as even a 1-2% decrease in water deficit produces impaired cognitive performance decrements. Dehydration is a major factor in heat stress morbidity and is a contributor to accidents and injuries through degraded neurological and muscle performance. Therefore the hydration state of an individual’s involved military training and military combat missions is of extreme importance across the spectrum of security personnel, combat soldiers, vehicle crews, rotary wing aircrews and fixed wing aircrews. Hydration regulation is also of importance in sports performance and labor intensive occupations, where exercise-induced exhaustion and labor-induced exhaustion occurs across all ambient temperature ranges, effecting neurological cognitive performance and muscle performance loss. Brain and spine trauma represent a growing concern to both the Military and Sports participants. Force-induced body injury of the head and spine range from mild concussions, to severe traumatic brain injury, to death. Adverse forces on the head/neck/spine induce injuries ranging from dislocations, damaged/crushed vertebrae, to death. Blast induced forces to the head and neck have different damage mechanisms to the brain and spine due to overpressure time constants than impact blows from sports activities. Therefore, the identification and declaration of brain and spine injury requires different calibrated injury models for Military-use and Sports-use. The SSIM-developed NSHS construct provides seminal advancement in three key areas in the application of wearable technologies to Military-use and Sports-use applications. First, the program provides for a multi-modal integration of human performance data into one sensor by the real time collection of and maintaining awareness of both the individuals hydration status and the neurospinal environment. These data are critical in the monitoring military member short term and long term human medical status for performance of current and future military missions. Second, by using printed flexible electronics technology, the program demonstrates the size, weight and power (SWAP) needs for integration of the NSHS into helmets and uniforms. Third, the SWAP advantages of the printed flexible electronics technology sensors does not adversely impede upon important human factors elements in Military or Sports environments, therefore achieving performance advantage over the previous generations of heavier helmet shock/blast detection sensors. As part of this initiative, we have developed an integrated helmet sensor system that translates impact to the helmet to brain impact, using a multiphysics brain model based on shear forces that translate to axon stretching. 4D ultrasound of brain density and structural information provides the mechanical model for the strain calculations. Funded by US Air Force. CNS and Retina Implant Technology New research on a light activated caged Glutamate based retina stimulating implant is under development. The micropore implant chip is designed to deliver Glutamate spatially over the retina in proportion to light location and intensity. In addition, new advances in our flexible microelectrode arrays that provide stimulation to discrete populations of neurons and provide real-time feedback will be reviewed. These arrays are tailored to fit the geometry of the implant site and functionality desired. We have encapsulated the arrays in semiconductor biocompatible materials and selectively coat the system using biologically inert organic materials. For the development and long-term effectiveness of implantable prosthesis, an in vitro investigation of neural cell interactions with the implant surface is extremely important. To enhance the performance of the prosthesis we have optimized neural electrode interactions by increasing biocompatibility and minimizing the growth of scar tissue mediated by glial cells for all surfaces we use for constructing the microelectrode arrays. This central nervous system electrode array is integrated with wireless power and communication linked by high frequency magnetic field transmission. We have determined biocompatibility of the microelectrode array through in vitro and in vivo investigations using cultured rat cortical cells grown on the device and direct cortical implants in the rat brain. Through these in vitro and in vivo studies we have established the impedance response of the neurons to the device.

The Debt of WWII French Resistance Writers to WWI Veterans, Post 2: Jean Moulin This post is the second in a WWrite series on the debt of WWII French Resistance Writers to WWI Veterans. Last week, the blog featured resister Albert Camus and the influence of his father, a WWI soldier who died at the Battle of the Marne. This week, WWrite explores the most famous French Resistance icon, Jean Moulin. One of France's most celebrated WWII heroes began his fight in WWI as a soldier and an artist. The experience, which he discusses in his book, First Combat, shaped his rise as the leader of France's Resistance Army, also known as the "Army of Shadows." In Paris on December 19, 1964, the ashes of French WWII Resistance hero, Jean Moulin, were transferred from their original resting place at Père Lachaise Cemetery to the Pantheon, an architectural masterpiece located on the Montagne St. Geneviève in the Latin Quarter. Moulin, taken prisoner by the Nazis in 1943, died in a train station in Metz as he was deported to Germany from Lyon, France. The Pantheon, designed as a church by the architect Jacques-German Soufflot during the reign of Louis XV to honor the patron saint of Paris, St. Geneviève, is a peristyle building that was deconsecrated during the French Revolution in 1791 and renamed the Pantheon, a patriotic monument that contains the graves of great writers, scientists, generals, philosophers, artists, and politicians who have made great contributions to the history of France. Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Marie Curie, Victor Hugo, Alexander Dumas, and Simone Weil are among the 70+ illustrious figures housed there. The Pantheon also houses a copy of Foucault’s Pendulum. Moulin, born and raised in the south of France, was Prefect of Chartres at the time of the Nazi invasion in 1940. When he was relieved of his functions, he decided to flee to London and joined Charles de Gaulle, leader-in-exile of Free France. De Gaulle, unable to unify to the multitude of fractious resistance groups who had trouble collaborating with each other, asked Moulin to become his ambassador and head of the French domestic resistance within Vichy and Nazi-occupied France. Moulin is credited with bringing unity to the French Resistance and giving credence to De Gaulle as their leader. He succeeded and was able to form a National Resistance Board that met in a villa in Caluire, France in 1943. Weeks later, he was arrested when the Gestapo raided the villa. He was tortured by the infamous Klaus Barbie in Lyon and then sent to his death supposedly without giving away any information about underground Resistance activities. At the time of the ashes transfer to the Pantheon, France was far from the victory in WWI and the liberation in WWII that had given it some sense of patriotic, national cohesion. In 1964, the country was troubled and deeply divided by the events of the Algerian War, which had ended with Algeria’s independence in 1962. The figure of Jean Moulin aroused a general consensus and, in 1964, encouraged French to rally behind the myth of the French Resistance united around General de Gaulle, who was president at the time. At the Pantheon ceremony, in front of a mass of military troops, war and Resistance veterans, political dignitaries, and public spectators, fellow-resister, writer, Minister of Cultural Affairs, André Malraux, called for a resuscitation of French solidarity through Jean Moulin: It has been more than twenty years since Jean Moulin left us in a December, no doubt similar to this one, to be parachuted onto the soil of Provence, to become leader of the people of the night. Without this ceremony, how many children from France would have known his name? He was killed; and since then, sixteen million more children have been born ... May the commemorations of the two wars end today by the resurrection of the people of shadows who this man led, who he symbolizes, and who enter with him as a humble solemn guard around his dead body. While “the two wars” to which Malraux refers are undoubtedly WWII and the Algerian War, WWI could be easily added, especially when considering its influence on Jean Moulin’s writing and his role in the Resistance. WWI and its outcomes divided the French population just as much as its other 20th century conflicts. Many argued over the fate of the Versailles Treaty, the division of the old Empire, and the ways in which France would heal itself politically and socially in the aftermath of destruction and mass death, both civilian and military. A look at Jean Moulin’s role in WWI provides an interesting perspective on his commitment to French solidarity during WWII. It is interesting to note that some of Moulin’s most important biographers state, and some even denounce the fact that he played an inconsequential role in the Great War. However, when we consider that Moulin was only 15 when the war broke out in 1914, his participation demands to be seen through another lens. Living in the south of France, he was far from the fighting. Yet, as Joëlle Beurier, Professor of Cultural History at the University of Reims and specialist in images produced during WWI, writes in an article entitled “Jean Moulin and the Great War: Elements for Analyzing his Redemption,” that his family discovered the misery of the invaded regions when they quickly took in a poor family of refugees, a mother and her five children. His father, too old to be mobilized, transformed a middle school into a hospital for the wounded in August 1914. His mother sewed clothes for soldiers and finally, his sister started a nursing program at the Montpellier Red Cross. Moulin’s older friend, Paul Chauvet, joined the French army before he had the chance to be drafted. These influences on the impressionable Moulin must have been enormous. At 16, already an accomplished young artist, he almost entirely stopped drawing romantic pictures and began drafting images dedicated only to WWI. As Beurier argues, he focused on the world around him more than on his interior world. He sacrificed artistic liberty for political engagement. In his drawings, he represented his personal opinions on important events; so much so that it seemed to him necessary to defend the country, to publish the drawings to play his part in the Great War. He seems to have understood the historical dimension of the event in a way different from the vast majority of children or teenagers of that time. His drawings, inspired by the war, are different those of other pupils who, according to Beurier, often copied things they saw in the newspaper. Moulin invented his own images, came up with clever caricatures, and made sharp judgments. For example, in the drawing below, he criticizes American neutrality before its entrance in 1917, a sentiment common among the French. (Thankfully, they changed their minds afterwards!) Here, Woodrow Wilson is presented as a heartless grocer who takes advantage of the death of his compatriots while, from his windows, he watches the torpedoing of the Lusitania. An open vault reveals the currencies of all the European belligerents: mark, shilling, franc. Cases containing weapons bound for Berlin are piling up beside the shells destined for Paris. Leaning on his counter, the American president quietly smokes a cigarette. The drawing is in whistle-blower style that teeters on the verge of violence as he accuses the American president of sacrificing his nation for mercantile profit. Through the war, Moulin used his taste and a talent for drawing for propaganda purposes in favor of the France. As Beurier says, he fought with his pen. Later on, his drawings were featured in the French war-related media. Finally, at 18, Moulin was mobilized on April 17, 1918 and began accelerated training. He had just lost his grandmother Clarisse. As his sister, Laure Moulin, reports in her own book about her brother, the family was very affected; it was, in Laure's own words, “the end of their youth.” He left on September 20, 1918 for the front a few days after the death of his godmother, Jeanne Sabatier, who died on September 11th of Spanish flu that was sweeping the continent. Just as his company was preparing to enter the front line of combat Charmes, the Armistice was signed on November 11, 1918. While at Charmes, he encountered British POWs heading home from Germany. In a letter to his parents in November 2018, he expresses shock at their miserable state: They are scary. They are just skeletons. I chatted with one of them at the English canteen. He couldn’t have weighed more than 30 kilos (66 pounds). He told me everything they had suffered. It's horrible. We’ll have to keep a few days here to treat them before sending them home. We must ration them. Many, it seems, died on the way here from eating too much. Reminiscent of reports of liberated prisoners from WWII German concentration camps, it is hard not to wonder if this observation helped cultivate his rage against the Nazis that pushed him to resist 20 years later. Moulin’s WWI experience comes back in his book, First Combat, which he wrote before his death in 1943. The memoir begins while he is still Prefect of Chartres in June 1940, just after the French surrender to the Nazis. The city is overwhelmed with refugees from the North and simultaneously emptied of its own inhabitants. Almost alone at his post, he witnesses the first Wehrmacht’s first detachments take over. He is summoned by a German officer, who tries to torture him into signing a false document damaging the honor of the French army that is still intact and fighting for Free France in Africa. In the following extract, he tells the tale of his refusal to sign, citing French WWI soldiers as one of his primary reasons: "Sign," said the blond officer. "It costs you to taunt German officers. " As I don’t lean over to take the pen, I get a blow between the shoulder blades that makes me stagger. The officer behind me had hit me violently with the barrel of his gun. I protest against these odious treatments: "I was brought here to see the general? Then it is with him that I want to discuss." My call to see the general is greeted by loud laughter accompanied by jokes in German that I can’t grasp. "There is no longer any question of the general," said the young blond officer. "But we are going to take you to another officer." And he calls one of the officials from the entrance to whom he gives an order. The soldier seizes me by the shoulder and pushes me, rather than directs me, to another room of the house. As he wishes, I do not enter the doorway fast enough and so he hits me in the back with the butt of his rifle. This time, I fall to the floor. Before I have time to get up, boot kicks rain down on me. It’s the officer they’ve taken me to see who strikes. I wonder if I will have the strength to get back on my feet. In front of me, I now see the blond officer who followed us, the officer who welcomed me with his boots, and a soldier with a rifle and bayonet. The little blond officer, whom I now call Executioner No. 1, makes a gesture to the soldier who points his bayonet on my chest, shouting in German: "Stand up! " In a painful start, I stand up. I have terrible pain. I feel that my legs are hard to carry. Instinctively, I approach a chair to sit down. The soldier withdraws the bayonet brutally and slams the rifle butt on my feet. I can’t help but scream: "When will these infamous processes cease? I said, after gathering my thoughts a little. "Not before," said my executioner, "you have signed the protocol." And, again, he hands me the paper. Me: "I do not understand why you are so brutal, using such methods. I was a soldier too, during the Great War, and I had learned to respect the German soldier. But the work you are doing right now dishonors your uniform.” At these words, the two officers leap at me, shouting to me that they will not let themselves be abused. One of them, the one who hit me when I was on the ground, a tall brown-haired man with an athletic body and a rough face, grabs my throat and squeezes to choke me. My Executioner No. 1 intervenes and I am finally let go. While I painfully find my breath, they continue, in a mix of French and German, to shout gross insults. They are now dragging me to a table where the "protocol" has been placed. Me. “No, I will not sign. You know very well that I can’t put my signature at the bottom of a text which dishonors the French army. My Executioner No. 1. “But there is no more French army. She is defeated, lamentably defeated. France collapsed. Her government fled. You are nothing anymore. All is finished.” Moulin never signs the document, but he does attest to the fact that his reasons for resisting come from WWI when he refers to his respect for German soldiers. Was the image of the returning British WWI prisoners running through his mind during this torturous interrogation? Is he mocking them or challenging them? Is he mocking or challenging himself? Was he trying to tell the Germans they would eventually lose once more to the French as they did in the Great War because they were still disrespectful in the way they treated their prisoners? Historians of the French Resistance report that torture was used a method to information from captured Nazis and collaborators. Was Moulin trying to spell out a code of conduct for the Army of Shadows that he would eventually lead – one of decency or one of brutality? It’s also important to remember that Moulin drew caricatures of German soldiers in WWI, which could be viewed as disrespectful. Is Moulin making then a statement about war in general, that it is impossible for fighting soldiers to respect each other? Is he making an overture to peace? While some argue Moulin was negligibly touched by WWI, First Combat, his memoir, shows differently. In this pivotal scene, which represents his first act of resistance, his decision seems to hinge on the fact that the Germans don’t respect him the way he had respected them in WWI. While the precise meaning of Moulin’s declaration remains ambiguous, it is sure that his engagement with WWI provided vital lessons for WWII underground resistance in the Army of Shadows. Through both his Great War politically-charged art and his military mobilization, Moulin acquired a great sense of why France should be defended at all costs. Certainly, WWI was one of the shadows Moulin fought under during the Nazi Occupation in WWII.

Kittens and cats need to play. Play is normal behavior that provides young animals with opportunities to develop their physical coordination and problem-solving skills. It allows them to engage in species specific behaviors like hunting and stalking. If there’s another cat in the home, it also gives them a chance to hone their social skills with members of their own species. It’s common for kittens and young cats to engage in rough, active play because feline play can consist of mock aggression. Many cats retain this kitten-like behavior well into adulthood. Cats stalk, chase, pounce, swat, kick, scratch and bite each other—all in good fun. However, people often misinterpret this kind of behavior as aggression when it’s directed toward them. Cats display two different types of play behavior: solitary play and social play. They direct solitary play toward objects, like toys, skeins of yarn, paper bags, boxes and rolled-up paper. Social play is directed toward fellow cats, people or other animals. Unfortunately, problems can sometimes arise when feline play is directed toward people. Despite the playful intentions of a cat, he can cause injury to his human playmates. Cat scratches and bites are painful and can easily become infected. How to Reduce Your Cat’s Rough Play Behavior - A tired cat is a happy cat! The best solution for managing rough play is to make sure you’re meeting your kitten’s needs for activity and enrichment. - Offer as many scheduled, routine play sessions with your cat throughout the day as possible. If you get in the habit of really engaging your cat in energetic play and then offering him a meal, his needs as a predatory animal can be met and he may meet you with less frustration when you’re headed to bed, or when you’d like to relax on the couch. - Provide a variety of toys for your cat so that you can determine his preferences. In general, cats seem to enjoy batting at small toys, like balls and fake mice. They also like to stalk, chase and pounce on things that move like prey, such as toys with feathers attached to flexible rods that you can dangle and move about. Try getting your cat a wand toy; cats love to engage in play with their people, and this is a great way to show them what appropriate play looks like. Giving your kitten a toy he can wrestle with, kick at and bite, such as a stuffed sock, is a great idea. Please see our article, Cat Toys, to learn more about playing with your cat and choosing the best toys for him. - Make sure that his environment is set up to keep him active during the hours that you’re away from home. Most cats will nap all day long and then meet their person with a deep need to play and interact once they’re home. Keeping him engaged with enrichment, battery operated toys, and feeding puzzles while you’re gone can help him feel less frustration when you come home and cant play with him right away. - Frequently give your cat new objects to investigate, such as paper bags or cardboard boxes. Try an internet search for “DIY cat enrichment” and you’ll find tons of free or very inexpensive ideas that you can try with things you may already have in your home. - During playtime, don’t encourage him to bat at your hands or feet. Instead, direct the play away from you by using a long dangly toy or throwing you cat’s favorite toys. Schedule play sessions to coincide with times when your cat seems most active and playful. - Pay attention to your cat when he seeks attention. A cat seeking some pets and love will be loose, with a relaxed body and face. A cat who’s seeking playtime will likely be more alert, with whiskers forward, ears and tail twitching. Understanding his body language will help direct how you interact with him, avoiding offering lots of pets if he’s actually approaching looking for play. - Also pay attention to your cat while giving him attention. If you see his body language change into play mode, it’s time to grab a toy, direct him to the floor and engage in a good play session. - If your cat likes to grab your feet as you go up and down the stairs or hide under things and ambush your ankles or legs as you walk by, carry toys with you and toss them ahead of you to redirect his attention. Try to get him to focus on chasing the toys instead of attacking you. - Consider adopting another cat as a playmate. If you do, choose a cat with a similar energy level and play style as your cat. - Build an outdoor enclosure for your cat, complete with branches, boxes, shelves and perches for him to navigate. If you can provide a more complex environment for your cat, full of opportunities to hunt insects and chase leaves, your cat will be less motivated to play roughly with you. What NOT to Do - Do not encourage your cat to play with your hands, feet or any other body part. While it may be fun when you have a tiny kitten, it becomes painful and dangerous as your kitten grows up. - Do not try to pet your cat when he’s in play mode. Respond to his needs with lots of interaction with toys, only petting him when he’s calm. - Do not use toys that teach your cat to play with your hands, such as gloves with balls hanging from the fingers. If you do, your cat will be encouraged to direct his play at your hands and won’t understand that it’s only okay to attack your hands when you’re wearing the toy gloves. - Do not physically punish your cat for rough play. If you hit or slap your cat, he may perceive your actions as play and become even rougher. Alternatively, he might become fearful of your hands and respond by avoiding you or changing from play to real aggression. Do not yell at your cat or squirt him with water as these things can also lead to a negative relationship with your little one. - Never run from your cat or try to block his movements with your feet. These actions can cause your cat to intensify his play.

Treatments for Melanoma: A Vaccine Targeting Deadly Melanoma Shows Early Promise by Dr. Eddie Fatakhov Melanoma is one of the deadliest forms of skin cancer and has been on the rise for 30 years. While only accounting for about 1 percent of skin cancer cases, melanoma is extremely aggressive and causes the largest proportion of skin cancer-related deaths. According to the American Cancer Society, in 2019 over 96,000 new melanomas will be diagnosed and over 7,000 people will die of melanoma. Melanoma is most commonly going to affect white males in their mid-60s. While there are specific factors that may increase one’s risk of melanoma, it can be found among all races and ages. How exactly does melanoma occur? Melanoma grows when unrepaired DNA cause damage to skin cells. The most common cause of this damage is from UV radiation (sunshine and tanning beds). Those with the genetic predisposing factors are plagued by rapidly multiplying cancerous cells that form malignant tumors. To date, there have been plenty of options for treatment of melanoma, but not any real options for prevention (other than the unlikely method of total avoidance of the sun). Researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) now say that have developed a nanovaccine for melanoma. The term “nanovaccine” is not one generally known by the public. Nanovaccines are the cutting edge in vaccine technology that use nanoparticles as carriers. These nanoparticles are a similar size to the pathogens (the disease-causing agent) which allows our immune system to react in a manner that is highly efficient in developing immunity. The effectiveness of these nanovaccines is also due to the fact that the nanoparticles are more efficient at targeting the direct site in the body where the disease originates, instead of targeting the body systemically. TAU researchers have demonstrated how this nanoparticle is the foundation of this new, potentially life-saving vaccine. It has thus far been tested and shown to be effective in preventing melanoma development in mice. Not only has prevention been demonstrated, but also treatment in the primary tumors and melanoma metastases have been successful. Using this nanovaccine technology, the immune systems of the mice are able to identify the attack the exact cells which contain the melanoma cells. The immune system has an amazing memory and continues to attack these cells if and when they appear in the body. TAU researchers tested the effectiveness of the vaccine on healthy mice, melanoma-infected mice, and on the tissue of patients with brain metastases from melanoma. The outcome of each condition tested showed that the vaccine was effective in either prevention or treatment. With one in three people at risk of developing cancer in an invasive site, and one of five of people at risk of dying from invasive cancer, the development of any vaccine that can prevent a form of cancer is a medical breakthrough. While still in the early stages of research, these preliminary findings are promising. In a time where more than 600,000 people in the U.S. will die from cancer just this year, any research that could clear the path for a future cancer-free generation is worth exploration.

Finding the Most Affordable Cars in St. Charles June 19, 2018 Almost every American city is dotted with hundreds of auto dealerships that display both pre-owned and new models in every conceivable shape, size and price range. There is also a myriad of advertisements available online, on Craigslist and in the newspaper every single day. With an ostensibly unending range of vehicle choices, it can be overwhelming to narrow your search for affordable cars in St. Charles without having a specific plan in mind. There are 4 basic guidelines that you must follow before you decide to buy a used car: - Before visiting any dealers, you should do some research. It is not wise to simply visit dealerships to browse their inventory. This could cost you a lot of money. Rather, look at the dealer’s inventory online to see what they have. View the models that interest you and look them up on KBB or Edmunds. - With valuable information in hand, you can now go to the dealership, find an auto or 2 that appeals to you and inspect them carefully. - Take a test drive of all your choices. This should ideally take place in different types of road, traffic and weather conditions to determine how the cars handle in each situation. - When you have made your selection, carefully inspect all aspects of the vehicle, including the vehicle as a whole, the interior, exterior and beneath the hood. Bringing along a trusted mechanic of your own can alleviate your concerns, if any. Talk about financing and auto loans with poor credit, if applicable, with the sales professional and sign the contract. Let the team at 5 Star Auto Plaza assist you in finding affordable cars in St. Charles. Call (636) 940-7600.
What Sound Does A Hippo Make? Grunt, Groan, Growl, Roar Hippos grunt, groan, growl, roar, and make loud wheezing sounds. They also make chuffing noises. But the descriptive power of language is limited. Therefore, it would be best if you could hear these noises for yourself. In response to your inquiry, I’ve included some hippo sounds that were captured deep within the African bush. Table of Contents What Does a Hippo Sound Like? Numerous vocalizations are produced by hippos. These noises include honks, grunts, roars, squeals, and what sounds like wheezing. Honking hippopotamuses resemble deep-voiced laughter. To demonstrate his dominance, a male may honk. In particular, when they want something, hippos can roar. Check out the video below to hear a hungry, or in this case “hangry,” hippo roaring. What Are the Underwater Sounds of Hippo? Hippos are semi-aquatic animals that spend their days entering and exiting the water. When they become too hot, they stand in the riverbed to become cooler. They return to the shore to soak up the sun when they become too cold. Hippos will keep their eyes, ears, and nostrils above water while swimming in the river. Their mouths will be completely submerged. Even though they cannot breathe underwater, they can still communicate while submerged. According to some estimates, up to 80% of hippo communication takes place underwater. But what is really cool is that hippos can communicate through the water and the air at the same time. Hippos can detect sounds in the air using their ears. What is the Purpose of Underwater Communication? Actually, when a hippo is submerged, it makes three distinct sounds. - One of those is the click. - The other is a tonal whine that seems to be associated with submissive behavior. - The other is a pulsed croak that young hippos make when they are interacting with each other. Why do hippopotamuses need underwater communication when they can be so vocal? We really don’t know, is the answer? How Does Hippo Communicate? Body Language and Non-Vocal Communication Hippos are not only experts at communicating amphibiously; they also understand how to convey ideas through body language. The most famous illustration of this is their enormous yawn. A hippopotamus has a 150-degree mouth opening. While this enormous beast may appear to be dozing off, what it is actually frequently doing is showing off its powerful teeth. The length of a hippo’s teeth can reach 20 inches (50 centimeters). Additionally, a crocodile’s back can be snapped in half by its powerful jaw. So avoid the animal if you see it yawning! Lunging, charging, and jaw-clashing are additional non-verbal cues. Along with shaking its head and spouting water, an irate hippopotamus may also. A male hippo, on the other hand, might act submissive around the dominant male. One instance of this is when he walks with his head lowered. A hippo can also “lay prone” with his body low and his face down. This can calm down a raging male or a hot-tempered female. What Does a Baby Hippo Sound Like? Hippos in infancy make low grunting noises. Watch the brief but sweet video below to hear a baby hippo talking. How Loud Are Hippopotami? A herd of honking and grunting hippos can be as loud as 115 decibels and heard up to a mile (1.6 kilometers away). The volume of the sound is comparable to a boisterous rock concert or a nearby thunderstorm. What are the Sounds of Hippo Mating Displays? Another situation where physical communication is important is mating. The male may make vocalizations like wheezing or honking. But compared to the mating call, the female is more susceptible to being seduced by the mating display. What a peculiar mating display it is, too. Males tend to approach females closely. Then, while waving his tail to spread the waste all over, he will urinate and defecate at the same time. The female may also wave her waste around if she finds you interesting. An enormous and hostile animal, the hippopotamus. Although they typically do not pose a significant threat to people, when provoked, they are able to do significant harm. Their size and strength are largely to blame for this. They also possess big, flat teeth that can easily pierce human skin.

Startup OKRs are just one of the very many scaleup tactics founders should use to scale up. For a startup to become a scaleup, the startup teams requires an additional edge. A distinctive capability compared to the incumbents, which cannot be copied quickly and has broad market application. In this post we discuss scaling your business with Objective and Key Results (OKRs). Today, scaleups are omnipresent and have embedded themselves into our daily lives — just think of Google, Facebook, and Uber. Achieving spectacular scaleup growth while revolutionising industries with new business models, however, is a real trick. Scale too quickly beyond your company’s capabilities and you risk ‘premature scaling’. Scale too slowly and the risk is losing momentum or ‘failure to launch’. Nonetheless, this is a trick that entrepreneurs with vision must learn to pull off. Scaleup Goals with Startup OKRs At 7startup we’ve built a custom program and strategy workshops to accelerate your scaleup, and find the balance of alignment and autonomy. Together with our partner Tangible Growth, we implement OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) to help you move from startup to scaleup and perhaps Unicorn faster than you would do without them. - Revenues by +5 to 20% — doing more of the right things +quicker results; reduction in waste = more SALES! - Employee Net Promoter Score by +30% — Scaling often fails with poor hiring decisions and lack of cultural alignment. - Efficiency by +30% — by ensuring the team at large keeps engaged. - Transformation Speed by +50% — by building maturity significantly faster. Different companies experience different challenges while they scale, and the demands on a scaleup business leader naturally evolve: growing pains are real. When teams jump from 15 to 50 employees there’s team swell, new roles require new and clearer directives. What comes naturally at 20 becomes a struggle at 50 or more employees. As a founder, there’s a significant risk that important information from front-line employees is missed simply because you can’t speak to all of them. All of a sudden staff complain that they don’t know what’s going on anymore, they don’t know why you’re making certain decisions and they don’t know what they should be doing. Designing the business to scale is vital. Once your business starts to scale, it can become complex, bureaucratic, and administrative; resulting in duplicating efforts, and a lack of coordination and control. Scaling Shifts your Team’s Focus Objectives are routinely confused with tasks and initiatives. You’re not always going to be able to move as quickly or as aggressively as you’d planned. Long planning cycles often don’t allow for fast-changing hypotheses to be incorporated, such as avoiding growth that comes at the cost of the existing customers’ experience. Alignment in a Growing Team Within small teams aligning with everyone over a zoom call, cup of coffee, or lunch is so very convenient. However, as the team expands, keeping everyone in the loop becomes tricky. The key challenge is creating company-wide transparency while avoiding information overload. Maintaining Culture with Startup OKRs In a small startup it’s easy to organise a get-together over beers or coffee. But with growth and rapid hiring — keeping a consistent company culture becomes more difficult; it’s easy to lose the values that the founders envisioned. Defining the culture and implementing this across the board will help to limit how much change is felt internally. In an early stage startup you may be able to get away with a certain amount of disorder. But when you’re scaling up it becomes critical to ensure that key processes are appropriately handled. Moving from many individual contributors to teams is an essential aspect of scaling a startup. Teams produce more for less when they are working in a well-defined, well-understood process. Transparency across the organisation with clear roles, responsibilities, and reporting lines can’t be put on the back burner. Scaling remote working is a challenge in the best of times, let alone during a pandemic. Approaching company growth goals in a long-term fashion whilst incorporating a culture of remote working can be tricky. Startup OKRs to the Rescue Google began using OKRs a long time ago and has stuck with this elegant and powerful management methodology and tool for over 20 years, proving that this is a system that scaleups would do well to adopt as an organising principle for their performance. Moving from startup to scaleup is one of the hardest things for entrepreneurs to do. Leadership teams can often end up with a large number of metrics that dilute the focus. During fast growth is often when a scaleup is at its most delicate — with culture, productivity, and alignment all in flux. Ill-designed systems that have not been constructed for scale — fail. So, how does a scaleup focus on scaling alignment, management, and collaboration across teams and departments? Scaleups must maintain a dynamic focus; a clear long-term vision coupled with the ability to be flexible and adaptable. Particularly working from home in 2021 in the post-pandemic new normal. Success using Startup OKRs OKRs builds on Peter Drucker’s Management By Objectives (MBO). The idea of increasing motivation and engagement by defining the ‘what’ and giving your team the autonomy to decide on the ‘how’, separating the qualitative ‘objectives’ from the quantitative ‘key results’, is not new. They were created for scaling businesses and are widely being adopted to rally teams around what matters most; bringing radical clarity, enabling visibility on business impact, and prioritisation. We all want to work on something important, and OKRs make this explicit by forcing you to clarify what you’re trying to achieve and what matters most. OKRs consist of a high-level objective, a more detailed description explaining the importance of that objective, a summary of how the objective aligns with the wider goals of both the individual’s team and the company, and the three to five key results that will help them achieve that goal. 1. Key Results are measurable — an easy way to grade using a number: Google uses a 0–1.0 scale to grade each key result at the end of a quarter. 2. OKRs are public — everyone in the business should have visibility of what everyone else is working on, and how they performed in the past. 3. The “sweet spot” for an OKR grade is between 0.6 and 0.7, if someone achieves 1.0 regularly, clearly their OKRs need to be bolder. Low marks shouldn’t be punished but seen as data to refine OKRs for the next quarter.

Start your day getting fired up to get out there and fight hard by reading this great interview with Tarana Burke! Oh OK, we’re glad that you read that because… we have some bad news. The accused men of #MeToo have now seemingly started their own movement. Nevermind that very few people are FALSELY accused of rape. NEVERMIND THAT VERY FEW OF THESE SURVIVORS HAVE SEEN THEIR DAY IN COURT! Nope, now the MEN accused are wondering who will think of them, and idk, the fact that they got disciplined at work? And can’t like… live their carefree life where they get to hurt women. WHO WILL THINK OF THEM? Well, the lawyers that brought down Gawker, for one. Because what’s worse… someone being violently attacked… or losing your CNN contributor role. THEY SOMETIMES HAVE FREE BAGELS THERE. Or what if someone said something about you on a private list. SUE THEM OF COURSE! Is there any more fucking phallic action than suing someone because you did something and thought no one would find out about it because you’re in power and always have been? And not all the victims are women, we want to make that clear (although we don’t want to get effing sued by one of these guys so ALLEGEDLY ALLEGEDLY). You know who gets FOR REAL defamed everyday? Abortion providers. But they are too busy serving patients every day to file million dollar lawsuits against people. So today and every day we’ll say: go out and put some good in the world. And don’t let the bastards grind you down!

Sump pumps will help prevent your home from flooding, particularly in the basement, where it can be hard to get rid of water. This will save you from extensive damage repairs. - Limits the growth of mold/mildew: Mold and mildew thrive in damp settings. By preventing water to pool and remain stagnant, a sump pump helps stop mold and mildew from growing. Not only does this help your home, but it can also protect your health. - Reduces the risk of fires: Flooding can be one of the reasons fires start. When water seeps into electrical wires and units, they can spark and cause fires. By stopping the flooding, a sump pump can help prevent fires in your home. How Do I Know if I Need Sump Pump Repairs?

As you go through life, you will come across adversity. When that adversity is physical, your instinct will be “fight or flight;” when the adversity is internal, it will be “accept or suppress.”The inability to deal with the stress can lead to feeling helpless and powerless, so you may create a coping mechanism to get by. The coping mechanism can be conscious or subconscious ways to deal with uncomfortable situations or emotions. Although coping mechanisms can change how you feel or interpret a situation, they can build a false sense of security. There are positive and negative coping mechanisms. Positive coping mechanisms don’t have instant gratification, but they put you in a position to be better off in the long run. Negative coping mechanisms typically come with instant gratification but long-term negative consequences. A person can go to extreme lengths to avoid feelings sometimes. What they use as a defense or coping mechanism can differ, but some are bad. If you can identify your coping mechanisms, you can get better control of your feelings and life direction. It may sound safe to rely on yourself alone, but there is a fallacy when you take it to extremes. People often tend to close up and keep things to themselves as it seems the easiest and best option. Humans are social animals, and you need to connect with others to have a healthy lifestyle. Your mental health will improve when you have a rich and diverse community around you. If you have any problems in life, you can take them to your community for assistance. The opposite is true; people in your community should be able to come to you for help. When you have that healthy exchange of interactions, it creates strong bonds that will become invaluable. 2. Substance Abuse Alcohol is a common habit for those looking for respite. Drinking your problems away is not the solution; you will not only impair your physical health but return to your issues with a hangover. What makes alcohol challenging to avoid is its accessibility, especially in social settings. Drugs are another habit that many people resort to in times of trouble. Drugs can give the user a sense of euphoria or peace, but once the effects wear off, the user is left with deep sadness, irritability, or lack of pleasure. Drug use also invokes guilt and shame, which can compound stressful emotions or situations. Drug abuse can also come from self-medication which people tend to do in cases of low self-esteem, anxiety, and stress leading to addiction. A healthier solution, especially if you find yourself struggling with addiction, is to use a residential treatment facility in Florida. The rehabilitation will help you grasp your emotions and coping mechanisms so that you understand what you are doing to yourself. It will also give you a healthy coping mechanism for the future. Denial is the selective ignoring of information. It’s a form of self-deception that lets you detach yourself from a situation. For example, when you receive terrible news like a partner ending a relationship, and you refuse to acknowledge it. It allows you to form new beliefs around good news rather than bad news with disastrous consequences, like if your ex-partner wants to sit down for lunch for closure, but you see it as an opportunity to rekindle the romance. Accepting how we feel can be difficult, but it is one of the most critical steps toward recovering; it creates false security. Catastrophizing can be related to overthinking, quickly jumping to conclusions, trying to predict how things will turn out, or feeling pessimistic about the future. Although it is normal to worry about the future, if it is extreme, it will hold you back in life. Sometimes catastrophizing is a coping mechanism for insecurities you may have in life. You create scenarios in your head without rationale to avoid taking action. For example, you may not feel confident about your professional skills, so rather than apply for a promotion, you will create scenarios where the boss doesn’t like you or the company “deserves” better candidates. You will rationalize that you are protecting yourself from a more prominent threat when you are actually holding yourself back. Find Healthy Ways to Cope There is no way that you can live a life without adversity, but you can deal with it more healthily. Take the time to analyze how you deal with stressful situations and make an honest assessment. Once you are aware of your shortcomings, you can better prepare yourself for what life throws at you.

Follow these seven steps to stay up in down times: Step 1: Focus on your core. Rein in investment in peripheral profit centers and invest in what your business does best. Always assume your core is underperforming and you’ll be right most of the time. Aggressively market to your current customers. In down times one of the best ways to gain market share is to retain the customers you already have and gain their referrals. Step 2: Don’t “panic-spend” on advertising. Resist the temptation to panic and increase spending on advertising to draw more traffic. When the fish aren’t biting, throwing twice as many lines in the water is not the answer. Do a better job with the customers already coming through the door, and you can close the same number of sales — and oftentimes more — with lower traffic counts. In fact, one reason people overspend on advertising is to buy fresh prospects to replace those abused by incompetent salespeople and managers. With lower traffic counts comes an opportunity to build more rapport, give better presentations, and follow up more thoroughly throughout the sales process. Step 3: Don’t kill your capacity to produce. The way to improve your bottom line is to maintain a tighter inventory, scale back ad dollars, put vendor products/services up for bid, and improve receivables and other cash flow factors. However, resist the shortsighted strategy of cutting costs that contribute to the development of your most valuable asset: your people. Training builds up your only sustainable competitive edge and increases your productive capacity. If you reduce it, you contribute to your own demise. Training is not a luxury and it’s not a cost. It’s an investment. When times turn down, take the opportunity to train up a notch. Step 4: Reduce entitlements. Reward performance. Terminate the weakest links. If you make personnel cuts, remember that tenure and credentials don’t substitute for results. Reward and support those who perform. This means you’ll have to resist the temptation to bond with yesterday’s heroes for old time’s sake. Fall into this trap, and you send a corrupt message about standards and miss a prime opportunity to create urgency and focus. The weak links in your organization determine the speed of the rest of the team. They are a restrictive force. Just as a chain can’t pull more than the weakest link allows — regardless of the strength of the other links — your overall production will be compromised by your weak links as well. Weak links lower the collective self-esteem of the whole team. They compromise your standards and impair your credibility as a leader. They are a distraction; they sap morale and break momentum. The team attitude towards weak links normally starts out with “let’s help him or her” and when no improvement is seen, the attitude changes to one of resentment. Top performers feel cheapened and diminished working in an environment where others don’t contribute and can’t pull their weight. It’s worth mentioning that the most devastating weak link in your organization is a bad manager. Bad managers should be given less rope because, when a bad manager hangs himself, he tends to hang a lot of other good people with him. Use down times as a chance to clean up your roster. Step 5: Cut once. If you reduce expenses this month by cutting out free cokes and bottled water, then two weeks later eliminate company cars, then next month fire the cleaning service, it’s like Chinese water torture. All it does is continue to distract, demoralize, and disrupt. Figure out what you want to cut and get it over with. This includes personnel cuts. Once you have finished, bring everyone together. Explain what you’ve done and why. Tell them to put it behind them. Reassure your people that everyone and everything that remains has been strengthened by these cuts. Now that they are finished, everyone can focus and get back to work. Step 6: Don’t develop a loser’s limp. Don’t blame outside conditions to escape responsibility for your current ills. A downturn always exposes the sins of the good times. These past record years in our economy have created their share of fat, arrogant, complacent know-it-alls who never thought they’d see another poor day. They stopped training hard, stopped making tough decisions and changes. They became averse to risk, maintained rather than stretched, and turned a blind eye to poor performers because business, overall, was good. Until you accept that the biggest threat to your organization comes from the inside and not the outside, you will continue to misdiagnose and mistreat your most serious problems. Typical ones include lack of: leadership, hiring standards, performance expectations, accountability, a cohesive leadership team at the top, vision, strategy, urgency, people development, and a growth environment. These are the inside threats you must go to work to eliminate day-in and day-out. Step 7: Stay positive. Management will multiply the damage and compound morale problems if they terrorize people with threats, excessive criticism, and lousy attitudes during slow times. Remember what good coaching is: leading from the front with plenty of speedy, positive reinforcement for worthy performances. A good coach uses honest communication to encourage, motivate, listen, and direct. Good coaches also give fast feedback and consequences for deficient performances. Stay focused on the big picture and remember foremost that the best time to fix the roof is when the sun is shining. When better times return, it’s not a license to coast, become complacent, and think you’ve arrived. Instead it’s the best time to train, coach, clean up your roster, set standards that create urgency, make the tough decisions, implement necessary changes, take risks, and lead from the front. If these things are done when things are rolling, people will stay sharp and focused. Let them know there’s still room to improve. When business starts to pick up again, develop a mindset to run up the score rather than sit on the ball, and the next downturn will find you bulletproof rather then wearing a bull’s-eye.

Two Anchorage residents were killed and a North Pole man was injured in the mass shooting Sunday at a Las Vegas country music festival, friends and relatives said Monday. Adrian Murfitt, a 35-year-old Anchorage commercial fisherman, was killed when a bullet hit his neck, said a friend, Brian MacKinnon, who held Murfitt as he died. Dorene Anderson, a recent treasurer of an Anchorage hockey booster club called the "Cowbell Crew," who described herself on social media as a stay-at-home mother, also died in the shootings, according to Facebook posts from friends and a daughter. And Rob McIntosh, a 52-year-old real estate agent from North Pole, was shot several times in the chest and arm, though he was expected to make a full recovery, his wife and daughter said in a phone interview Monday. "My dad said it was terrible — it was like a movie," said McIntosh's 24-year-old daughter, Sydney. Authorities in Las Vegas had not released a list of victims' names late Monday. But the three-day Route 91 Harvest Festival drew a "little city" of Anchorage residents, said Murfitt's mother, Avonna Murfitt. Alaska Gov. Bill Walker said on Facebook that a niece, Audra McCann of Valdez, was at the outdoor concert when the shooting took place. At least two Alaskans from the Interior attended as well — McIntosh and his friend Mike Cronk, a 48-year-old retired teacher from Tok. "When we were in the crowds we would hear people say, 'Oh, I'm a teacher from Wasilla,' or 'I'm here from Alaska.' You could tell a lot of people had traveled down," McCann said in a phone interview Monday. Authorities identified the gunman as Stephen C. Paddock, 64, who was reported to have sprayed bullets at the crowd from a room high in the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. At least 59 people were reported killed as of late Monday. McCann, 34, said she'd been at a concert at a different stage earlier in the evening, which meant that she and her boyfriend, Derek Barickman, were at the back of the huge crowd listening to country singer Jason Aldean. She described initially hearing a couple of muffled pops coming from closer to the stage that sounded like a toy or fireworks. But then the sound changed into louder and more consistent fire from what sounded "like an automatic weapon." Barickman threw himself on top of her, and "we could feel shots and wind just blowing past us, just hitting next to us," McCann said. "And then all of a sudden the firing stopped and everyone around us was like, 'Get up! You have to run.' " "Thought it was firecrackers, and the second round of gunshots — you heard the gunfire, and then you hear the bullets hit the ground, and metal and people and stuff," MacKinnon said in a phone interview Monday morning from Las Vegas. Murfitt and MacKinnon, who described the two as best friends, were taking a picture together when a bullet "went through his neck," MacKinnon said. Another bullet that seemed to ricochet up from the ground hit the brim of MacKinnon's own hat, he added. "There's a lot of amazing people — there was nurses, doctors, firemen. Everybody who was at that concert really jumped on it, did everything they could. We just couldn't save him," MacKinnon said. "Sadly, he died in my arms," MacKinnon wrote in a Facebook post. McIntosh, the North Pole real estate agent, took at least three bullets to the chest and one in his arm, though at least one shot was blocked by a rib, his family said. Cronk, who played basketball with McIntosh at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, told ABC News that he almost immediately recognized the sound of gunfire as automatic once it started. He was at the concert on a birthday trip. "Just pretty horrific," Cronk recalled later in a live interview with ABC host George Stephanopoulos. A small group of people hunkered down with McIntosh and other gunshot victims for at least 10 minutes before they decided to move behind the cover of the concert stage, Cronk told another ABC reporter. He and three other men hauled McIntosh over a fence to get there. Cronk said he stabilized his friend by putting compression on his wounds; McIntosh actually put his own finger in one bullet hole. The group then tried to get to a hospital in the bed of a pickup truck. Cronk said he helped one injured man into the truck, only to have him die in his arms. McIntosh's daughter Sydney, in North Pole at the time of the concert, learned of the shooting almost immediately from posts on Twitter and called her dad's phone. Cronk answered — from an ambulance. Cronk told McIntosh that her father had been shot. Rob McIntosh called his family twice before surgery. He remained there for hours overnight and was undergoing another procedure around noon Monday, his wife said. The family planned to fly to Las Vegas on Monday evening. 'It was unreal' McCann said she and her boyfriend ran from the concert without any idea of where they were going, zig-zagging behind vendors amid the "constant" sound of gunfire. They went through a side door of a building into what seemed like a staff hallway, then, when someone ran inside warning of a "shooter," kept going through a tunnel and a hole in a wall. They ended up with another dozen people in what appeared to be a little-used basement, with "exposed pipes" and "rat traps everywhere." "We had no idea where we were," McCann said. There was a pregnant woman and people with torn clothes, marred with dirt and blood. They had no idea what was happening outside, but could hear "running and screaming" and sirens above them, she said. "It was horrible — especially because we thought that a shooter had come in behind us and was in the building," said McCann. A few more people ultimately joined the group in the basement and said they'd heard there were shooters inside the casinos. The group formed a little prayer circle and the men equipped themselves with makeshift weapons — pipes and wrenches — in case "someone came down there," McCann said. The group stayed in the basement, which turned out to be at a resort near the concert, the Tropicana, for more than an hour before they learned it was safe to move. But then they couldn't leave the Tropicana, which was locked down, for another five hours, and McCann and Barickman barely made their flight out of Las Vegas on Monday morning. Nonetheless, McCann said she felt "so thankful and so lucky." "We started playing the 'What if?' game and so many different things could have happened if we'd been stepped on or closer to the stage," said McCann, who was on a work layover near Seattle on her way home. "Our heart just breaks for everyone that doesn't get to go home tonight, or see their families or tell them they're okay." 'Saint of a person' Anderson, the hockey booster and mother from Anchorage, was "one of the victims who did not make it," wrote a daughter, Stefanie Anderson, in a Facebook post. Stefanie Anderson declined to comment, but the post rippled through Anchorage and set off a deluge of sympathetic responses, including on the fan page of the now-defunct Alaska Aces hockey team. Dorene Anderson was treasurer last winter of a nonprofit hockey organization called the "Cowbell Crew," said Marie English, the group's secretary. The group supports the sport at all levels, from youth leagues to the Aces, and hockey was one of Anderson's favorite things outside her family, English said. "She was friendly to everybody. She had a heart of gold. She was just an all-around, wonderful Alaskan," English said in a phone interview. "Dorene Anderson was a saint of person," D.J. Fauske, a longtime friend whose father, Dan Fauske, worked with Anderson's husband at the Alaska Housing Finance Corp., wrote in a Facebook post. "I've watched her daughters grow up to become amazing women and I know they will continue their mom's lasting legacy." Avonna Murfitt, Adrian's mother, said Monday morning that she was still trying to find out where her son's body is and hadn't been contacted by the Red Cross or police. She found out what happened only after reaching MacKinnon, she said. "He said he just didn't have the heart to tell me," Avonna Murfitt said. "I kind of forced him into it." Adrian Murfitt played hockey at Dimond High School, his mother said. He'd just finished a summer of commercial fishing in Chignik, on the Alaska Peninsula, on a boat called the Mary Jane, she added. "One of the best years they've ever had," she said. MacKinnon said Murfitt had flown him to Las Vegas for Sunday night's concert. They were sitting at an Anchorage sports bar three weeks ago and talking about it, and MacKinnon told Murfitt that he wasn't going. But when MacKinnon returned from a trip to the bathroom, "he showed me the phone and he'd already bought tickets, and he was like, 'You're going,' " MacKinnon said. "I was like, 'I'm going.' " On Sunday, MacKinnon said authorities had to talk him into leaving Murfitt's body as the shooting continued. "I just got up and kept looking around — there was just bodies everywhere," MacKinnon said. He and a group of others were rushed into the basement of the Tropicana before he eventually was allowed to return to his hotel room. Asked to describe Murfitt, MacKinnon said he "pretty much is the best dude, ever." "He was always happy. He was always there for his friends," MacKinnon said. "He was always down to help you with a project. He was smart, talented, funny as hell. He was just a top-notch friend."
Fiscal Year 2014 (1 December 2013 - 30 November 2014) Adobe, like all hosted service providers, is required to turn over customer data when it receives valid legal process from a government agency with jurisdiction. We review each request very carefully to ensure that the government is entitled to the data they seek with the level of process they have obtained. Where appropriate, we also negotiate with the requesting agency to narrow the scope of the data sought. You can read more about our policies related to government requests here. Although the number of government requests we receive is very small in comparison to other service providers, we still believe it is important to ensure our customers know about those requests, the services to which they relate, the country of origin and how we responded. Government Requests By Service: This past fiscal year (FY 2014), the majority of requests we received related to fraudulent use of credit cards on the Adobe.com store (8 requests, with 8 users affected). The remaining requests sought information about customers of our Echosign service (2 requests, with 109 users affected), a customer of our Business Catalyst service (one request, with one user affected), customers of our Creative Cloud and Behance services (3 requests, with 3 users affected) and basic subscriber information related to customer Adobe ID accounts (2 requests, with 2 users affected). Government Requests By Country of Origin: Nearly all of the international government requests we received originated from Germany (9 requests affecting 9 users). Eight of the nine German requests related to fraudulent use of a credit card on the Adobe.com store. The remaining request from Germany related to an Adobe ID account. The only other international government request we received came from the UK (1 request affecting 1 user), but it was rejected as it was not served properly. All remaining requests (6 requests affecting 113 users) originated in the United States. Some Additional Interesting Facts: - No Enterprise Customer Data Disclosed: We did not receive any government requests seeking access to enterprise customer data in FY 2014. - No Customer Content Disclosed: Although we received a number of government requests to preserve customer content, we did not actually disclose any customer content in FY 2014. We only disclosed basic subscriber information (such as customer name, mailing address, email address and service dates) and transactional information (such as IP addresses and log-in dates and times). - No National Security Requests Received: As of the end of FY 2014, Adobe still has not received any form of national security process, such as a National Security Letter (NSL) or Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) order. - No Delaying Customer Notice Unless We Are Legally Obligated To Do So: We rejected several requests from governments to delay notice to our user because the requests were made informally. We only delay notice to our customers where we are legally obligated to do so (for example, when we receive a delayed notice order issued by a court). - No Backdoors: Adobe has not built ‘backdoors’ for any government - foreign or domestic - into our products or services. All government requests for user data need to come through the front door (i.e., by serving valid legal process upon the appropriate Adobe legal department). Adobe vigorously opposes legislation in the US and overseas that would in any way weaken the security of our products or our users’ privacy protections.

Some things are earned after performing and that crucial item about which we speak today is trust. In 1995 a gentleman came into our adult day care and respite center and asked for Bruce. He left his wife with a check and told us he would not be returning, as he would be dead soon. He told us his sons had our number and were coming to town and that he was enroute to a hospital for some pain relief. He was suffering from terminal cancer. His wife’s name was Mary who is pictured here. We enrolled her into the adult day care program and she would sit and sing as best as her Parkinson’s disease would allow. At night she stayed in the respite program upstairs and if memory serves us correctly she was with us 21 days. Her husband, by the way, died 12 days after her admission. A local priest had referred her to us, knowing we would treat her with compassion, dignity and skill. We had earned the trust of the local faith-based community. It was earned through a reputation of hard work and person-centeredness. Yes you need the best looking, well-worded brochure the market can generate. However, none of those items will ever compare to the value of the reputation you will earn after managing a clinically competent, reliable adult day services program. What do you think, please share your comments.

Is The Relationship A Fit Manufactured In Eden? Try to finterested in seniord These 10 Signs We all realize few, the ones who understood these people were soulmates as soon as they would laid vision on each different. Those partners tend to be adorable and also insufferable. Meanwhile, for different 99per cent of us, we’ve undergone every relationship thinking, at various instances, “Is she truly the one?” It really is a hard call, amigo, but listed below are 10 indicators she could be. 1. You Hate Situations Together A significant couples share a favorite song, a popular restaurant; a favorite motion picture, that is certainly all fantastic. What securities various other partners, but is exactly what they detest with each other. My personal girl and I also dislike similar things (like a nearby clothes cycle that’s thus pretentious and treats their staff so defectively, it shows everything the two of us detest about aspirational consumerism, for instance) and has now merely strengthened the connection. 2. She’s Not Grossed Out By You Doing #2 Speaking of unconditional love, if absolutely one thing that could put-off someone, its how long you could just take â and exactly what transpires â in john. Yeah, all of us are man, but in this regard some people tend to be far, more individual as opposed to others, at risk of longer throne time than all of our brethren. In case you arise through the restroom 20 minutes or so later on to an amused partner, exactly who even maybe congratulates you on the exploits, subsequently she actually is an uncommon bird certainly. Don’t let that bird get. Retain that bird. 3. She believes You’re The Funniest Here’s some round reasoning individually. Your girlfriend likes you because you’re actually amusing. But possibly she merely thinks you are amusing because she likes you. Certain, you may think you’ve got a quality riff on, state, aircraft meals that directs your buddies howling, and perhaps that’s what obtained her over. Alternatively, perhaps it’s a dumb riff that she didn’t find amusing, but dang when your Galifianakis-grade beard or Gosling-grade peepers failed to curently have the woman swooning, thus making everything else in regards to you gravy for her, such as the theoretical nature of the funniness. 4. Her buddies Are Rad, although not as well Rad Really, this’s tricky. You want to like her pals, demonstrably. You intend to take pleasure in spending some time with them. You would like them are cool adequate in order that a) they’re enjoyable to hang with, and b) they are an optimistic influence on the girl. Anytime they are like this, after that that’s great and this woman is obviously an excellent individual. But be careful, since you don’t want the woman girlfriends is very cool which you secretly wish you were online dating one of them instead. 5. She Tolerates your own Gross Couch Behold, your own sofa; the dog-eared, Ikea-sourced nap-station par quality. Even though the years haven’t been kind to it; frayed cut, cool spots, funkier odors; you can’t quit that couch. And that means you go on it along, from apartment to apartment. Sure, it may clash along with your girl’s neutral-colored ottoman, or even the really grown-up Eames lounger you purchased with each other. You however wont stop that couch, just in case your girl knows this unflinching respect, she, like your couch, is a keeper. Bless the lady. Bless that sofa. 6. She is An Entrepreneur I you shouldn’t indicate that she is operating a successful start up â though if she performed create another cost application or cold-pressed juice that treatments racism, then that’s obviously cool and I’m a large proponent to be a trophy spouse. But I absolutely indicate that she merely has a motor to get out and perform stuff, and does not anticipate one tell the lady that which you guys tend to be going to carry out on your day off; interests, volunteering, being productive â you understand, all the crap you say you are doing inside internet dating profile. You prefer some one effective, maybe not passive. 7. She actually is The most important individual You show Situations With There you might be, minding your own business, strolling outside, as soon as you spot a guy wearing the right mullet. You adopt a surreptitious picture because, anything like me, you are merely another judgmental ass with a smartphone. But the majority significantly, that is the initial individual you wish to demonstrate that mullet to? In the event that you responded “My girl. She will end up being the first observe this mullet, because she respects success and charm and that I in turn admire her success and charm, and I wish the lady to laugh with me nowadays,” then you’ve located yourself lover in criminal activity. 8. You acknowledge Politics In this period of geopolitical turmoil, it really is vital we take part in arduous trade of tactics, in a valiant work to attempt to help resolve the entire world’s ills, with one debate at any given time. Spirited political disagreement is actually, after all, just what fuels our democracy. Spirited governmental disagreement is also, sadly, what eliminates connections. You guys have to agree with politics, like simply how much income tax you should shell out, if and when we should choose combat, reproductive legal rights, firearm legal rights, immigration, or what to do about climate change. Because when the sh*t strikes the lover, any time you dudes failed to agree on those basic circumstances, its going to be a lengthy, embarrassing wait in this emergency bunker. 9. Nevertheless differ On Culture My gf and that I communicate some traditional music flavor, but there are many fairly hard diversions as well. This keeps it fascinating, and it gives me personally a rest from my personal playlists, and I learn how to appreciate other stuff. She wants that brand-new nation, like Keith metropolitan and Blake Shelton, therefore we’ll tune in to it inside the auto occasionally. We don’t must love each others’ stuff, but we admire it, or if perhaps perhaps not regard, we make enjoyable of it in a way that is relatively respectful.

Not just really does she appeal the corduroys off your parents whenever she very first fulfills all of them, but she subsequently brings the ultimate power move: delivering them a handwritten note a day later to express how nice it had been to meet them. The one thing classier might possibly be on her to deliver all of them wine from the woman individual winery. Of course, she doesn’t always have her own winery â if she really does, you goddamn much better understand she actually is your soul mate â but she has ways, so when my dear departed Gran liked to say, ways are your passport to everywhere.
1 Chronicles 19 1 After this, Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place. 2 David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun to comfort him. 3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Have not his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the land?” 4 So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle at their buttocks, and sent them away. 5 Then some people went and told David how the men were treated. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.” 6 When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah. 7 So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah with his people, who came and encamped near Medeba. The children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle. 8 When David heard of it, he sent Joab with all the army of the mighty men. 9 The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city; and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field. 10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose some of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians. 11 The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon. 12 He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you. 13 Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do that which seems good to him.” 14 So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the front of the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him. 15 When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem. 16 When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and called out the Syrians who were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadadezer leading them. 17 David was told that, so he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, came to them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him. 18 The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrian men seven thousand charioteers and forty thousand footmen, and also killed Shophach the captain of the army. 19 When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and served him. The Syrians would not help the children of Ammon any more.
