You leave a party or a bar, get in your car and then realize that you’re in no condition to drive because you’ve had too much to drink. You decide to stay in your car and sleep it off or wait for a friend or family member to pick you up. That’s the prudent thing to do, right? You have to do more than that if you don’t want to risk being charged with a DUI. That scenario was actually the plot of an episode of the hit show “Everybody Loves Raymond” some years back. However, as Patricia Heaton’s character Debra found out, you can get a DUI without the “D.” If there’s the possibility that you could drive and you have more than the legal limit of alcohol or drugs in your system, you could be arrested. Kentucky law states that “A person shall not operate or be in physical control of a motor vehicle” while under the influence. Judges generally consider the totality of the situation. For example: — Was the motor running? — Was the person driving the car prior to parking it? — Where was the car? — Was the person awake or asleep? — Did the person intend to drive the car? Obviously, if you’re passed out at the wheel in the middle of the road with the key in the ignition and the engine running, it’s a different situation than if you never left the parking lot and put your keys away to sleep it off and/or wait for someone to come pick you up. Since you can’t be assured that the police, prosecutors or judge will believe that you had no intention of driving while under the influence, it’s best to stay away from your car. Go back inside, call an Uber or at the very least, move to the backseat and put your keys away. If you are arrested, it’s important to seek the help of a Kentucky criminal defense attorney who can help work to minimize the criminal penalties, fines and impact on your driving privileges.

Mini dental implants are about half the size in diameter of a regular dental implant. This offers many benefits, and they can also be used in situations where regular implants cannot. If an implant needs to be placed in a narrow space, mini implants are the preferred method because of their smaller size. A main use for mini implants is to install a full upper or lower denture. A series of mini implants (4-6) are placed along the gum line and they serve as the base of the denture. Rather than placing a single implant for a single tooth, an entire lower or upper set of teeth are directly attached to the gum line. The small size of mini implants often means that no incision needs to be made to place the implant. They can usually be inserted right through the gum into the bone. This eliminates the need for a recovery period, and the restoration can usually be placed right away or only a short time after. Mini implants are also less expensive than regular implants. Only your dentist knows if mini implants are right for you, so call for your consultation today.

This type of lighting is also called “office lighting” and is usually used to illuminate a specific area (in most cases, an area of work). Task lighting is often used as contrast lighting. For example: A bright lamp in a room that’s otherwise pretty dark. It can be used nearly anywhere in your home. Accent lighting is used to illuminate a certain area and gives you a way to add drama to your home. Many people use accent lighting to draw attention to artwork, plants, bookcases, furniture, and more. This type of lighting can be created using wall lights, recessed lighting, dome lights, spot lighting, and more. Like recessed lighting, track lighting appeals to homeowners who are looking for a modern, minimalist type of style. Track lighting attaches to your ceiling and can be designed in nearly any shape.

Flood lights are commonly used for security and safety purposes, illuminating large outdoor spaces, or highlighting architectural features.

01 Jun Exprosion Improsion #81 ≡ Summer 2023 ≡ Back in 2011, I was laying the first words for a book project that would be named Exprosion Improsion. The original idea was to see whether or not abstraction was possible in literature, and this idea initiated an inner voyage that brought me far away from the initial plan. During 12 years, I carved, mixed, questioned and let the text happened, sometimes leaving it still for several long months and then plunging intensely into it, always with the same great pleasure. Exprosion Improsion is now published in the Inventions collection from the wonderful éditions MF, , an incredible haven for unusual literary works, a house with a rare level of requirement and freedom, where I am proud to be welcome again after my previous book La Funghimiracolette. Just like every book of this collection, the article is marvellous thanks to the graphic designers Jauneau Vallance. You may order it at your bookshop or here. So that to extend the reading, the book is coupled with a musical audio version that will stroll along the whole text, embodied by Carlo Brandt, Claire ingrid Cottanceau, Clara Ysé, the actors of La Cie Catalyse and myself. The 24 episodes will be patiently delivered during the coming months. This newsletter will be announcing every new episode. The ideal posology would be to start with the book, so as not to pull the rug out from under your inner voice, but do just as you do like and know that episode 1 is already online. Two events to start with and celebrate the release. On the 20th, we’ll be at the Maison de la Poésie in Paris with Carlo Brandt and Claire ingrid Cottanceau to exprose and improse during a reading-concert; on the 28th we’ll be at the Monte-en-l’air in Paris for another performance followed by a conversation with Bastien Gallet, mastermind of MF Editions, who will grill me on what I probably do not know yet about this book. But many other things will take place in June. On the 10th, for instance, on Dieppe’s beach, some thirty percussionists will stoop down to gather a couple of pebbles so that to interpret my new composition for pebbles, created for the OXC – Éclats d’Orchestre, a musical journey conceived by comrade David Gauchard with the Scène Nationale and the Conservatory of Dieppe. On the 11th at 8.00pm on France Culture radio, you could travel back to 326 BC, at the heart of the battle and the cross-impetus of Indian kings, while listening to our version of Alexandre the Great by Racine, recorded live a few days earlier with the Comédie Française. In the evening of the 21st, may you wander the Alibi in 11 rue Lapeyrère, Paris 18e, you might come across a wild improvised concert in duet with my dearest friend John Greaves. Pollock & Pollock, the wonderful film by Isabelle Rèbre, a portrait of the humble yet powerful art by Charles Pollock, a slice of history viewed through letters written by free spirits, a urban ballet where New York City is unprecedented filmed, a score I was happy to compose and have it interpreted by wonderful Régïs Boulard and Eve Risser, will be on-screen at the Saint-André des Arts cinema in Paris every day as from June 7 at 1.00pm, and in the presence of many guests. I’ll be there on the 27th to talk about musical composition with Isabelle. Just one glitch and the release of the Cores album is slightly delayed: it will eventually be available at the end of June. Meanwhile, it is possible to dive into it on platforms and also to order it, would you fancy the bath. For a total immersion into Adrien M & Claire B’s works, the Dernière Minute installation -30 minutes long- is to be seen at the Théâtre de Chaillot from 2 to 10 and still in Yverdon in Switzerland or in Lahti in Finland, while the performance Acqua Alta will edge the Atlantic coast in Rochefort and La Rochelle. My music will also sound here and there, in the undying Nosferatu created 20 years ago for the Bob Théâtre and about to go and fall about laughing with some happy Galician and Castilian folks, just after Ersatz by Julien Mellano troubled the Slovenian people. To end with, will you be in Avignon in July, you could see a whirlwind text by Nane Beauregard and blew away by Laure Werckmann at the Artéphile theatre J’aime. Will you come close to the wonderful Abbaye de Noirlac the 17 or the 18 June during the Traversées festival, hear the texts of La Funghimiracolette ricocheting on the stones That is the harvest to end the season. I wholeheartedly hope that the words of Exprosion Improsion will get to you and have the opportunity to instil your Summer time. Let us meet in September. By then, enjoy your books.
A Muslim man from Yemen came to faith in Jesus recently through the matter of fasting. But probably not in the way you might imagine. Ramadan has just begun, the one and only Muslim holiday. Adherents to Islam are supposed to fast during daylight hours for the entire month of Ramadan. However, despite the fasting, it's not exactly a very holy holiday for multiple reasons. As soon as the sun sets, there's a food fest of epic proportions, and more food is bought and eaten during Ramadan than any other time of the year! More seriously, Ramadan is also known to be a time of increased Muslim violence, and this is provoking people who are truly devoted to their creator to start asking questions. “Brother, can you tell me what fasting is like in the Christian tradition?” What Jesus says about godly fasting This Yemeni man had become troubled by what he was seeing and hearing around him regarding Ramadan. He found it very odd that such a supposedly holy time should lead to hatred and murder. Surely a time of seeking God should be about righteousness, goodness, peace? It didn't sit well with him. So he reached out on the internet to our Arabic outreach team to ask their perspective. They went through the teachings of Jesus on the matter, looking together at Matthew 6: “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” (Matthew 6:16-18) Carlos explained that true fasting was a secret matter between us and God, not something to display to others in order to receive adulation and praise. Jesus taught that all the glory was to go to God, and that we are rewarded by Him. This response made our new brother in faith extremely happy to hear. He has enthusiastically received Jesus as Lord in conversations since. And he's not the only one noticing the discrepancies between the idea of Ramadan in theory and what it really is in practice. The irony of Ramadan During the ninth month on the Islamic calendar, the month of Ramadan, Muslims are supposed to fast from both food and drink during daylight hours. According to the Islamics Network Group, “the ultimate goal of fasting is gaining greater God-consciousness, known in Arabic as taqwa, signifying a state of constant awareness of God”. However, it's somewhat ironic that in practice Ramadan is almost the opposite of a fast. Plus, worshiping the god of the Koran and encouraging terrorism is not exactly honoring to the one true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. This nil-by-mouth business is very difficult, especially in hot, dry countries where many Muslims live. Water is not allowed, and it's even considered “Haram” (forbidden) to swallow your own saliva. But once that sun goes down it's another story entirely. Two massive meals are eaten in the dark hours, one in the evening (iftar) and a huge breakfast (suhoor or sehri) before dawn to start the day. Suhoor and iftar meals include all kinds of wonderful foods: all kinds of meats and vegetables, breads, cheeses, sweets and fresh fruits—all restrictions and lifted and great feasting erupts in earnest. There is no other feast in Islam, so Muslims really make the most of this time to celebrate with family and friends in the community. But isn't it a little odd that this fast involves so much food?! And secondly, the idea of gaining more awareness of God seems similarly contradictory. Every year during Ramadan, Israelis have to batton down the hatches and prepare for violent attacks. There's usually a spike in terrorism throughout the month of Ramadan as the predictable rumors get fanned into flame that Israel is “desecrating” or “trampling” the Temple Mount, known as the “noble sanctuary” (al-Haram al-Sharif) in Arabic, and the manufactured threat to the Al Aqsa mosque, which they see as synonymous with the whole plaza area. These false reports of Jewish people “storming” the mosque have ignited outbreaks of violence and even massacres for the last 100 years. The famous 1929 Hebron Massacre in which almost 70 Jewish people were murdered was precipitated by such reports, as it was rumored that Jewish people were trying to seize the mosque by force. While there have been provocative developments from the more extreme fringes in Israel wanting to worship on the Temple Mount, these inflammatory lies about the mosque being in danger are constantly circulated to keep fueling the fire of Jewish-Arab relations on the most contested piece of real estate in the world. With Israel fighting Hamas in the south and Hezbollah in the north, the last thing we need is an outbreak of attacks from the West Bank—or worse, from Muslim radicals within Israel itself. We want to ask you to pray for us during this month in particular! Esther's fast and the Feast of Purim Unusually, the Feast of Purim (which celebrates the incredible turnaround story of Esther) will fall right in the middle of Ramadan this year, on March 23-24. Queen Esther stood up for the people of Israel at great cost to herself and averted total annihilation of the Jewish people, and the scroll of the story will be read aloud in Jewish communities around the world. It's also interesting that Esther herself called for a fast for the entire house of Israel, and that it was again a nil-by-mouth kind of fasting: no food or even water at all for three days and nights. It was a very extreme kind of a fast, but it was a very extreme circumstance. As is often mentioned, the name of God never appears in the whole book of Esther, but the people prayed and fasted, and God heard their prayers and acted in the most remarkable way on their behalf. Haman's decree encouraging people throughout the Persian Empire to kill the Jews was not repealed by the Persian King, but permission was granted to let the Jewish people defend themselves. It all seems remarkably pertinent in our days, doesn't it? The evil spirit of Haman (who was an Amalekite) is still on the prowl, seeking to annihilate Israel. The trouble doesn't stop, but somehow God saves the day anyway. “Now in the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's command and edict were about to be carried out, on the very day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to gain the mastery over them, the reverse occurred: the Jews gained mastery over those who hated them. The Jews gathered in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to lay hands on those who sought their harm. And no one could stand against them, for the fear of them had fallen on all peoples. All the officials of the provinces and the satraps and the governors and the royal agents also helped the Jews, for the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them… Now the rest of the Jews who were in the king's provinces also gathered to defend their lives, and got relief from their enemies and killed 75,000 of those who hated them, but they laid no hands on the plunder. This was on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, and on the fourteenth day they rested and made that a day of feasting and gladness.” (Esther 9:1-3, 16-17) The story of Esther ends in celebration for the Jewish people, and the establishment of the Feast of Purim, but the sheer number of Israel's enemies who were killed, “75.000 of those who hated them” does not lend itself to a politically correct fairytale. The Bible is full of such stories, and we all need to decide what to make of them. We also learn many gentiles of the time joined the house of Israel and became part of the people of God. We pray earnestly for this in our day, for many salvations both in Israel and Gaza. Meanwhile, Israeli believers have been committing days for prayer and fasting due to the dire situation we find ourselves in here. Many joined together in February for a concentrated time of prayer, and many more will be doing an “Esther fast” in the lead up to Purim, on March 20-22. Lent: A time of Christian fasting We are also, by coincidence, in the middle of the 40 days of Lent, a time of fasting for Christians around the world. It's traditional in many places to fast for the 40 days up until Resurrection Sunday, which falls on March 31 this year, when the fast is broken. That's a very different kind of fasting again, different to Ramadan and obviously very different to the hardcore Esther fast. Many Christians abstain from certain kinds of food or drink: chocolate, sweets, caffeine, and so on. Some choose to give up other things for Lent, such as social media. There are many ways to make a sacrifice in the flesh, and to focus more on God and prayer for 40 days, reminiscent of the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the wilderness. Selfless giving to those in need is also part of fasting in all three cases: during Ramadan, Purim, and also Lent. However, true fasting and real generosity must not done for man's approval, but to please God. Like any kind of fasting or giving, it can become something that is done for human praise. Fasting has the potential to wield a great spiritual impact, but when done for approval from others becomes completely devoid of power. People who fast in this way will already have received their reward, Jesus says. However, true fasting and the prayers of a person who is right with God is extremely powerful, and has great effect. The heavens are open and the King is listening, beckoning for us to come and present our requests. Invitation to pray and fast at this time So with all these different kinds of fasting—Muslims fasting for the month of Ramadan, Jewish people at the fast of Esther, and Christians giving up things for Lent—none of this means anything if our hearts aren't right with God. There are many ways to fast, and different kinds of fasting, but there's only one way to come to the Father, and that is through Jesus Himself. Not through religion or human traditions, nor through our attempts to do good works, but through Jesus who makes us righteous through His own sacrifice for sin. True fasting is a time of dialing down the flesh and ego with all its demands, and tuning into God: His heart, His ways, His priorities. True fasting is all about seeking God's face, growing more like Him in holiness, and expressing His heart of compassion to others. There's precious little of godly love and shalom here in the region at the moment, and we'd love to urge you to pray. Most of the trouble facing Israel right now can be traced back to Iran, where the story of Purim first took place. Whether it's Hamas, Hezbollah, or the Houthis, Israel is being threatened on every side by Iranian proxies. Similarly there's extreme suffering in Gaza, and thousands of both Israelis and Lebanese people have been forced to leave their homes in the north. Too many have been killed in terrible ways. This is not a simple situation and simplistic categories of good guys and bad guys are neither helpful nor truthful. God loves all the peoples of the Middle East and Jesus died to save us all. Israel is home to Jews but also millions of Muslims and Arab Christians too. He longs for all to know Him. It seems the prayers of last year's Isaiah 62 fast have been effective in preventing full scale destruction as the carefully crafted plans of Hamas and Hezbollah failed to materialize, and we are so grateful to everyone who took part in that initiative. We're asking you now to please keep praying for us, and for all involved in this terrible conflict. Our prayers make more difference than we know. Pray for Muslims – for revelation, and salvation as many seek God especially during the month of Ramadan (Sunday March 10 – Tuesday April 9, 2024) Pray for peace – for violent attacks to be thwarted and for God to keep the situation in Israel peaceful throughout Ramadan and over the time of Purim Pray for “Esthers” and “Mordecais” to rise up – that God would raise believers all around the world to join in earnest prayer for the salvation and protection for Israel and for all the peoples of the Middle East. “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” (1 Timothy 2:1-2) Picture by Jeremy Yap on Unsplash

Our next stop on our tour of Onions Around the World is Italy and an onion cooking base known as Italian Battuto. Italian Battuto combines onions, carrots, and celery making it similar to the French Mirepoix. This onion cooking base goes a step further for more flavor by also including garlic and parsley. The vegetables are chopped, or some might say they are beaten, given that the English translation of battuto is beaten. They are cooked in fat such as butter or olive oil. Some versions also include a meat that provides the fat for cooking the vegetables such as diced pancetta or bacon. While onion cooking bases like The Holy Trinity are often associated with famous chefs in the restaurant industry, battuto is more closely associated with family history and home cooking. For example, many people familiar with the base associate it with an Italian grandmother or aunt. We like to use white onions in our battuto. This variety has a crisp and clean flavor that is also pungent. This allows its flavors to hold up during long cooking times, like those you will see in the Slow Cooker Bolognese we will be sharing. The onion turns pleasantly sweet when cooked, but maintains a delicious onion flavor that complements any dish. The ratio of vegetables is up to the cook. We prefer a large onion to one cup of carrots and a half cup of celery along with three cloves of garlic. A tablespoon or two of chopped parsley is ideal, depending on your preference. When chopping your vegetables keep the pieces similar in size. This will help them all cook evenly as they sautee in the butter or olive oil. We’ll be using our battuto in a meat sauce so we opted out of using a meat like pancetta when cooking the base in our upcoming recipe. Feel free to experiment with your version, though. Battuto can be used as the start to a variety of delicious meals including pasta sauces, risotto, soups, and stews. Images by Lori Rice for the National Onion Association.

Are You Prepared for an Estate Tax Sunset? The federal estate tax threshold rose to $27.22 million in 2024 for married couples and $13.61 million for individuals as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). Like several TCJA provisions, the higher estate tax limit is due to sunset in 2025. Barring congressional action, the exemption amount will return to about $6.8 million, adjusted for inflation, in 2026. Similarly, the current 40% maximum gift and estate tax rate will increase to 45%.1.2 For high-net-worth individuals, this could influence wealth transfer strategies. Although this sunset is coming, the good news is that it's still a few years away. And there's more good news: your financial professional can help you with your estate strategy, regardless of whether Congress decides to maintain the current threshold. Now may be an excellent time to get together and start thinking about your post-2025 strategy. I look forward to your call. 1. USBank.com, 2024 2.

"With this band, it's not gonna be thinking man's music, it's gonna be drinking man's music." With that statement, vocalist Charlie Bender draws a sharp line between the past that many Orlando punk fans may associate him with — the frenetic frontman for now-defunct "punk band with horns" Spitvalves — and the present. Bender's current status as frenetic frontman for the Attack finds him indulging in a brand of punk rock that's considerably more straightforward than the multilayered arrangements that marked Spitvalves' sound and, according to the singer, that was very much intentional. "Writing with Spitvalves — and having seven guys in a room who are all good musicians — we would just start to make things more complex and more complex. `In the Attack` there's no bullshit. I don't have to remember a bunch of words or anything like that," he adds, laughing. Bender is not distancing himself from his past in the 'Valves. In fact, the guitarist and primary songwriter in the Attack is former Spitvalves manager Brad Palkevich, and current Attack drummer Tito Esquiaqui was also the skins-pounder responsible for the frenetic rhythms of Spitvalves. But, remember, now it's all about "drinking man's music." "It's so fucking fun," says Palkevich. "That's exactly what it should be. When the Clash and the Sex Pistols started out, they were pub-rock bands first and punk-rock bands second. And that's one of the main ideas behind what we're doing." with Overdale, Thomas Wynn & the Believers, History 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug 11, 2007 Back Booth, (407) 999-2570 The band's first incarnation was as Knup — "that's ‘punk' spelled backward, in case you didn't know," laughs bassist Ryan Fleming — and it was primarily a way for Palkevich, Bender (as bassist/vocalist) and fellow Spitvalves guitarist Mikey Cortez (on drums) to kill some time. "We had some studio time booked," says Palkevich, "and the Spitvalves weren't going to use it, so we went in as Knup and recorded some of the songs we had practiced. It definitely wasn't joke music, but it was kind of a silly name, mainly just because it was a rehearsal thing, something we were doing for fun." With the addition of Esquiaqui on drums, Cortez took over Bender's bass duties, the beginning of several personnel rotations. "Some other people came and went," says Palkevich. "At one point, My Hotel Year stole Mikey. Phil Longo `now in the Country Slashers` was with us for a while and contributed a lot to the writing." A cease-and-desist from a Texas band called Knup, combined with a more serious approach to the band's status, led to a name change last summer. Soon after, Fleming — who, ironically enough, was in My Hotel Year — replaced Cortez. It wasn't long before the Attack was making waves in the local punk scene. "When we did shows with Knup, we got a lot of shows quick and easy, probably on the Spitvalves' coattails," says Palkevich. "But we hadn't jelled as much as we have by now, so `those early shows` maybe didn't have as much of an impact `locally`. Plus, you can't get away from the screen-printing business" — Bender and Palkevich run Enemy Ink — "so there are cooler posters, cooler promo stuff." "I think it was really at FMF when we stepped up," says Bender. "`Enemy Ink` did the FMF poster show and Brad went flier-crazy posting stuff all over downtown. So there were a bunch of people there and it went great." With a full-length album recorded and likely to be released on Anchorless Records, as well as some national touring on the horizon, it's more than likely that Bender and the Attack will be hanging out with more and more drinking men (and women) in the near future.[email protected]
Four years ago, we wrote about YouTube’s early support for the HTML5 video tag and how it performed compared to Flash. At the time, there were limitations that held it back from becoming our preferred platform for video delivery. Most critically, HTML5 lacked support for Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) that lets us show you more videos with less buffering. Over the last four years, we’ve worked with browser vendors and the broader community to close those gaps, and now, YouTube uses HTML5 video by default in Chrome, IE 11, Safari 8 and in beta versions of Firefox. It seems like only yesterday that Flash was required for everything.
Home > Java > Sun Microsystems Java Release Update Sun Microsystems Java Release Update Eugenia Loli 2003-12-15 Java 21 Comments The latest Sun Microsystems Java 1.4.2 release update is out, version 1.4.2_03. The only change in this release deals with a CA certificates update in cacerts file. About The Author Eugenia Loli Ex-programmer, ex-editor in chief at OSNews.com, now a visual artist/filmmaker. Follow me on Twitter @EugeniaLoli 21 Comments 2003-12-15 8:37 pm Anonymous Java has massive support and a huge library with something like 5,000 classes and 40,000 methods. Not sure of the exact size but it’s somewhere in this neighborhood. It’s also actively developed by a staff of hundreds of developers, and it runs on Linux, not sure if Java3d is for Linux though, but if people ask for it, it will be. It’s just a no hastle Linux solution, but Python is also great, just that Java has a bigger support structure. 2003-12-15 9:42 pm Anonymous Why does everyone get censored here? 2003-12-15 10:13 pm Anonymous Because we were about to start a quite heavy Python vs. Java flamewar I would assume. Correct catch imho, were mostly just inflammatory. It is a tad hard to comment on a minor patch release which only changes a security certificate though. Count congratulate Sun on the 1.4 series overall though, very good work, first minor release I consider really mature (this is from a guy who think that no complex software younger than 10 years can ever be even remotely mature so my standards are fairly strict 2003-12-15 10:26 pm Anonymous The two things I need must from the upcoming java 1.5 are autoboxing and a shared VM engine, mustly the later, decreasing the loading time of java apps as well as redusing the duplication of resources usage will give a good “feel” concerning speed to the users. Another thing that would be welcome would be a new face for the default swing Metal theme. Something alone the lines of the JDS theme, but lighter and more polished (of course, something better would be nicer). I think java needs badly a shared VM to keep on pair with the .NET CRT 2003-12-15 10:52 pm Anonymous …and a more stable and more complete sound API, with at least one compressed audio file format. 2003-12-15 10:57 pm Anonymous More than anything else…multhreading when handling Swing events…secured threading. It is a pain in the neck that you cannot call on a method on a label (i.e. changing color) while an event started from that label is still active. 2003-12-15 11:07 pm Anonymous despite being a few releases behind regular Python and a few occaisional limitations that mean that some rarely used aspects of Python can’t be used in Jython, Jython seems to solve most of the conflict between the two languages. Personally i’m a fan of both lanugages for different. for Quick and Dirty work i perfer python/jython but i find that or larger projects i NEED the static typing of java to keep everything clean and consistent 2003-12-16 2:07 am Anonymous Generics will be a most desireable feature, as well as the mentioned shared VM 2003-12-16 3:09 am Anonymous I hate to disappoint, but Sun has already commented that the Shared VM feature would not make it into 1.5. 🙁 http://java.sun.com/developer/community/chat/JavaLive/2003/jl0729.h… dynamite: Is virtual machine sharing going to make it into Tiger? Neal Gafter: Unfortunately, no, because of schedule constraints. Even if it were included, it would be a trivial implementation that doesn’t actually share, but rather forks off a new VM per isolate. 2003-12-16 4:30 am Anonymous great for GUI work for Java. why not use that? 2003-12-16 7:34 am Anonymous Hi, I want know if this java virtual machine wirks weel in linux kernel-2.6-testX. Now I am running this kernel and eclipse and don’t have any problems. Can I put it in production systems. 2003-12-16 7:41 am Anonymous “…and a more stable and more complete sound API, with at least one compressed audio file format.” Ogg Vorbis would be nice. “I want know if this java virtual machine wirks weel in linux kernel-2.6-testX. Now I am running this kernel and eclipse and don’t have any problems. Can I put it in production systems.” Are you sure you want to put a 2.6-testX into production? Doesn’t it feel slightly premature, somewhat like switching to a new version of Windows within the first year of its release (granted, it’s always premature to use Windows). 2003-12-16 3:18 pm Anonymous Regarding usig 2.6 at this stage within a production, you must be kinding me. Not that Linus, et al. haven’t hack this puppy big time, but nothing compares to having a finish version out for everyone to take a stab at. Recommendation: use the test kernel in a test machine and put it through its paces. Let it on for at least the next several weeks and write or get a tool that will bombard it with requests. 2003-12-16 4:43 pm Anonymous > It would be a trivial implementation that doesn’t actually > share, but rather forks off a new VM per isolate Actually I had never thought of doing it that way! Always thought of using a shared memory region/mmap for a set of jar libraries, etc, but simply calling clone()/fork() on a parent JVM process /would/ be IMO the simplest. However, that would mean that the whole base jar libraries would need to be loaded FIRST; all of them, not just some on demand thus slowing down the initial first load. Otherwise the fork()/clone() copy-on-write to that inherently shared area would make it a moot workaround. Come to think of it, there’s no reason I couldn’t try this myself with a custom C launcher/JNI… 2003-12-16 5:02 pm Anonymous It’s a pity 1.5 won’t have VM sharing. So the closest thing we have to that is libgcj. Does anyone knows if Kaffe or any other VM (other than OSX’s) has/plans this feature? 2003-12-16 7:11 pm Anonymous .03 revision. 2003-12-16 7:41 pm Anonymous But if all the processes share the same VM, wouldn’t it basically take down all of the processes if there were any kind of memory corruption in the VM? 2003-12-16 8:05 pm Anonymous That would be a good way to tune the VM and find rare bugs. In today’s VMs, such a memory corruption are sometimes misinterpreted as a problem of the aplication, thus remaining hidden and unsolved. With time, these kind of bugs would be better solved with a shared design. 2003-12-16 9:21 pm Anonymous can’t find a change-doc on the java.sun.com site. Where do yall see the .03 revision even listed? 2003-12-16 11:25 pm Anonymous this version has been in portage for a quite a while. 2003-12-17 1:30 am Anonymous How has it been in portage for a while? When I updated my JVM on Friday (directly from Sun’s site) it was still 1.4.2_02. Is there some mystical place where you can download sun’s JVM prior to them putting it on thier own site?

Otaku Revolution is run by myself, Falldog, and long term associate PenguinTruth. We've had a few other contributors over the years as well, including Juu-kuchi and singled_out. It's been mainly just a place for our various nerd musings since 2008. At some point I thought it would be nifty to have a full blown anime site, but tallent and ambition aren't always hand in hand. OtakuRevolution.com was born from another site, OtakuRevolution.net, which was a web forum and sprite comic site dating back to the early 2000s. I was a member at that time, and somehow snagged the .com TLD when it popped up. The Otaku Revolution name lives on in remembrance of that simpler time.
Alongside company news you'll find solutions to some intriguing and tricky surface technology issues – simple concise, practical advice on deburring, grinding, smoothing and polishing. 10/19: Focus on applications Quality & accurary in the manufacture of high-precision parts: Aerospace specialist IFT opts for an OTEC finish The exacting safety, precision and quality standards of the aerospace industry are as stringent as it gets. Every single manufacturing step has to be closely monitored and documented. Not every production facility can meet these multi-level requirements. OTEC customer IFT GmbH & Co. KG, based some 30 miles south of Frankfurt in Ober-Ramstadt, specialises in high-precision parts for the motorsport, medical technology and aerospace industries. 10/19: Focus on applications Precise, effektive Surface processing: The Special requirements of lasercut parts Laser cut parts are used in many industries, from jewellery to automotive, electrical and optical engi-neering. Once manufactured, their edges are slightly burred, and the parts often suffer from unsight-ly discolouration. Much of the time, these defects are removed by hand, which is time-consuming and costly. The challenge is almost always the same: how to deburr and polish extremely thin parts – i.e. less than 0.4 mm thick and usually made of stainless steel – without changing their geometry. But also, during processing, how to prevent the parts from chafing against each other, or from get-ting wedged in the container or stuck in the gap. "Growth through innovation": from Startup to mediumsized Technology leader The company was founded in 1996 by Helmut Gegenheimer and Soran Jota in Straubenhardt, near Pforzheim in the Southern German state of Baden-Württemberg. Since then, as a specialist in surface processing, it has grown from a mechanical engineering startup serving the jewellery and watchmaking industry to a global technology leader in deburring, grinding, smoothing and polishing. Today, international customers from industries as diverse as jewellery and watchmaking, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, automotive and aerospace, electronics, toolmaking and additive manufacturing rely on the expertise we’ve acquired over the course of more than twenty years. Here's an insight into the OTEC Story, with CEO Helmut Gegenheimer. 09/19: press release Quality creates strong Bonds: Dörfler & Schmidt and OTec Präzisionsfinish Dörfler & Schmidt Präzisionsfinish and OTEC Präzisionsfinish are based about 140 miles apart – but it’s what bonds them that matters: a passion for precision finishing and a working relationship spanning two decades. Felix Dörfler tells us why OTEC is the go-to machine manufacturer for service providers in surface processing. 08/2019: FOCUS ON APPLICATIONS ROLL FORMING PARTS: A BETTER SURFACE = TOP QUALITY TOOLS = OPTIMISED TOOL SERVICE LIFE! Forming rollers are used in applications like the manufacture of reinforcement mesh. The typical structure required is formed using appropriate machinery and dies. Our Italian customer also sup-plies its customers with the associated forming dies for notching, chamfering and marking, made from either reinforced steel or hard metals. 07/2019: PRESS RELEASE UC Tools & OTEC: Precise Surface Processing of PKD-Tools OTEC has developed a custom surface polishing process for UC Tools’ PCD range (PCD is an ultra-hard synthetic cutting material made from sintered diamond particles). The result: tools polished to perfection. 07/2019: Focus on Applications DENTAL DRILLS: OTEC PRODUCES OUTSTANDING RESULTS IN 60 SECONDS The manufacturing process for stainless steel surgical drills used in minor or major procedures produces burrs. Manual deburring is not just time-consuming but also produces a lot of rejects, not to mention the fact that every drill ends up slightly different. It’s an unreliable process. OTEC SF Series machines are designed for reliable, reproducible precision processing. Drills pose specific challenges. 06/2019: new Design OTEC DISC FINISHING MACHINE – REDESIGNED AND EVEN MORE REMARKABLE The new design of the OTEC CF Series disc finishing machine is sure to impress. Modular and compact, it has an optimised welded structure that guarantees trouble-free operation and a long service life. more... 03/2019: PROSTHETIC HIPS PERFECT SURFACE FINISHING WITH THE OTEC DRAG FINISHING MACHINE The DF machine from OTEC ensures the correct combination of abrasive, tool holder and process parameters for a surface finish that is on a par with hand-finished quality. To guarantee these results, OTEC supports its customers by using its long years of expertise to develop customised processes. 02/2019: Parts for glasses A unique zero gap system for damage-free processing Glasses are mainly worn as an optical aid to correct defective vision and misalignment, in which case they are also referred to as corrective glasses. The parts for glasses have to be deburred, rounded and highly polished. Due to OTEC's unique zero gap system, small metallic parts for glasses can processed without damaging and get a flawless, highly polished surface.

Most first party data is managed and integrated with third party data to combine user information and activities as well as to optimize media purchasing. Demand Side Platform (DSP) A platform that allows brands and agencies to automatically bid on ad inventory. Buyers define information such as creatives and price, and control the distribution of their ads. DSPs determine the best possible inventory for reaching a target audience, place buys, and report on the performance. They are connected to SSPs via ad exchanges. Agency Trading Desks often bundle multiple DSPs to further increase efficiency. Display ads, which are also sometimes known as banner ads, are a form of paid advertising in which the advertiser pays the website publisher for every ad impression or user click of the display ad.Read more DSP (Demand Side Platform) A Demand Side Platform, also known as a DSP, is an online network of ad inventory supply, where advertisers can buy ad placements made available by online publishers. Advertisers can bid in auctions for ad impressions, and thereby purchase ad space across many different websites and mobile apps. In simple terms, a DSP is a programmatic advertising tool that helps to match ads with the right ‘spots’ on publisher sites.Read more First price auction in programmatic advertising, a First Price Auction is a type of auction in which the highest bidder wins the impression and pays the price they bid. This contrasts with second price auctions, where the winning bid pays one increment above the second-highest bid. In a First Price Auction, the winning bid is the actual cost of the impression, so the cost to the advertiser may be higher than expected. This creates more competition among bidders and can lead to higher prices for publishers. Advertisers should have a clear understanding of First Price Auction mechanics and bid appropriately to ensure they are getting the best value for their ad spend. First-party data refers to data that is collected directly by the advertiser or publisher from their customers and website visitors. It is collected through website analytics, customer interactions, and other direct sources. First-party data is highly valuable because it is specific to the advertiser and provides insights into the interests and behaviors of their target audience. Unlike third-party data, first-party data is not shared with other advertisers. As third-party cookie depreciation sets in, first-party data will become even more vital for online ad targeting. A floor price in programmatic advertising refers to the minimum price that a publisher is willing to accept for an ad impression. This is set by the publisher to ensure that they are not undervaluing their inventory and receive a minimum revenue from the ad. The floor price is used in real-time bidding (RTB) auctions, where advertisers compete to purchase ad impressions. Advertisers must bid above the floor price to be considered for the impression. If the highest bid is below the floor price, the impression is not sold. The floor price helps to balance the needs of both advertisers and publishers and ensures that inventory is sold at a reasonable price. Header bidding is a programmatic ad buying method that enables publishers to present their ad space inventory on multiple SSPs (Supply Side Platform), or ad exchanges, at once via an auction model. With header bidding, numerous advertisers can bid simultaneously to compete for advertising space on websites.Read more Middle-of-funnel marketing (MOFU) Middle-funnel marketing, sometimes called 'consideration marketing', is the stage in the customer journey where potential customers are considering a purchase but haven't yet made a final decision. At this stage, they are aware of the brand and have shown some interest in the product or service, but they may still be evaluating alternatives and weighing their options.Read more Mobile advertising is paid advertising that occurs on mobile phones or devices that have a wireless internet connection. Mobile ads can be display ads published on mobile websites by mobile ad networks, or can be promoted in mobile applications as in-app ads.Read more Multi-touch attribution is a sophisticated approach to measuring the value of different digital touchpoints that contribute to a customer's decision-making process. Unlike traditional single-touch models, which give all the credit to the first or last touchpoint, multi-touch attribution considers the entire customer journey and fairly distributes credit across various interactions.Read more Native advertising is a digital ad that has the look and feel of editorial content. The ad is ‘native’ to the web page – in design and function, it seems just like the other content on the page. Native ad space is purchased by advertisers via native ad networks like Outbrain.Read more A Native DSP (Demand Side Platform) is a platform designed specifically for buying native advertising inventory programmatically. Native advertising refers to ads that blend in with the look and feel of the web page, providing a more seamless and non-intrusive advertising experience for the user. A Native DSP allows advertisers to buy native advertising inventory from multiple sources and programmatically target their audience. It enables advertisers to reach their target audience with relevant, high-quality native ads, at scale. The use of a Native DSP streamlines the native advertising buying process and, unlike conventional DSPs, allows for post-engagement targeting. Any type of advertising that occurs on the internet is considered online advertising. Online advertising comes in many forms, including display advertising, search engine advertising, email advertising, social media advertising, content recommendations, mobile advertising (app advertising).Read more An Open Auction in programmatic advertising is a type of real-time bidding (RTB) auction that is open to all eligible demand sources, including DSPs, networks, and agencies. In an Open Auction, ad impressions are made available to all demand sources, allowing them to bid in real-time for the opportunity to serve an ad. The winning bid is determined by the highest bid, and the winning advertiser pays the amount they bid for the impression. Open Auctions provide a transparent and competitive environment for buying and selling ad impressions, helping to ensure that the best price is achieved for both the advertiser and the publisher. The open web is the online advertising ecosystem that is not owned or controlled by a single company or platform. It includes websites, apps, and other digital properties where advertisers can reach a broad audience across multiple channels, outside of the "walls" of closed networks, such as social media platforms and search engine results pages. Advertisers can use various methods, such as display advertising, native advertising, and programmatic buying, to reach users on the open web. The open web ecosystem enables higher transparency and competition than closed networks, allowing advertisers to reach users with relevant and engaging ads while giving those users more control over their data and privacy. The open web is essential for promoting innovation, diversity, and choice in the digital advertising industry. Paid advertising is any type of advertising that is paid for. It stands in contrast to owned advertising (ads promoted on the advertiser’s own channels) or earned advertising (non-commissioned writeups or recommendations from third-party publishers).Read more Important metric for performance marketers to optimize campaigns. KPIs such as click rates (on the landing page) or time on site of existing users are analyzed in order to bid on new users who are likely to show the highest engagement. PPC, which stands for Pay Per Click, is an internet advertising model used to drive traffic to a website or landing page.Read more Data that enables advertisers to target visible, fraud-proof, brand-safe or contextually relevant inventory, and bid only on inventory that meets the pre-defined requirements.

Subdivided into Preferred Deal, Private Auction and Automated Guaranteed. Programmatic advertising is an automated way of buying and selling advertising space in real time. It uses algorithms and software to purchase digital advertising, as opposed to traditional methods such as manual RFPs (Requests for Proposals) and negotiations.Read more A transaction between a publisher and advertiser that takes place through a programmatic ad buying system. Inventory is directly sold and guaranteed. Quality Score (QS) Quality Score (QS) is a single number Google produces for each ad an advertiser includes in their campaign. It measures the ‘quality’ of the ad by gathering data from users, comparing what they search with which ads they click on, and what they do once they’ve clicked through. In other words, the Quality Score is a measure of how relevant an ad is to a user based on the keywords the advertiser is targeting.Read more Real Time Bidding (RTB) Real Time Bidding, or RTB, is a process used in programmatic advertising to buy and sell digital inventory in real time (a real-time bid consisting of a bid request and a bid response). The bid request is triggered when a user visits a page. The request data (user location, browser history, website, device) is offered for sale via an SSP on an Ad Exchange. A DSP connected to this Ad Exchange responds to this offer with data on price and creatives (bid response). The highest bid for the placement wins and the ad is distributed. This all happens automatically and within milliseconds. Retargeting, also known as remarketing, is an advertising strategy that targets people who have previously interacted with a website or online content. It uses tracking technology to display ads to these individuals on other websites they visit. The goal is to re-engage potential customers and encourage them to complete a desired action, such as making a purchase or filling out a form. Retargeting is an effective tool to increase brand awareness and conversion rates. Retention rate is a metric that refers to the percentage of returning customers to a business, service, or product. The retention rate for a subscription service is the percentage of customers who stay subscribed month after month. For a product (usually consumables such as food or clothing), it refers to consumers who prefer your brand to competitors and return to make repeat purchases.Retention rate Return on ad spend (ROAS) Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) is a valuable metric for advertisers, as it provides insight into the profitability of a campaign and helps to inform decisions around budget allocation and campaign optimization. Advertisers aim to achieve a high ROAS, as this indicates that a specific campaign is generating a significant return on investment.Read more Search advertising is the promotion of ads on search engine listings or on the sidebar of search engine results pages (also known as SERPs). Search advertising is a very popular channel, largely due to the sheer volume of traffic seen by SERPs.Read more Search engine marketing Search engine marketing (SEM) is a digital marketing technique that uses paid and organic advertising to help websites rank higher in search engine results pages (SERPs). The goal of search engine marketing is to increase a website’s visibility and gain more traffic and page views.Read more Second price auction In programmatic advertising, a Second Price Auction is a type of real-time bidding (RTB) auction where the winning bidder pays one increment above the second highest bid, rather than the amount they bid. This type of auction helps to ensure that the final price of an ad impression reflects its true market value, creating a more stable and predictable pricing environment, benefitting both advertisers and publishers. Second-party data refers to data that is collected by one organization and shared with another. This type of data is obtained through partnerships or data-sharing agreements between two companies. Second-party data can be particularly useful for advertisers who have limited first-party data or who are seeking to reach a new audience. Unlike first-party data, second-party data is not collected directly from the advertiser's customers and website visitors, and is subject to privacy regulations and the data policies of both companies involved. Social media advertising Any type of promotion on social networks is considered social media advertising. Platforms such as Facebook, Linkedin, TikTok, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, YouTube, and others, have become hugely popular advertising channels.Read more Supply Side Platform (SSP) A platform that allows publishers to automatically sell their inventory and is often linked to ad exchanges. It allows the setting of floor prices and the bundling of inventory for private marketplaces. Third-party data refers to data that is collected by companies other than the advertiser or publisher and is then made available for purchase by advertisers. It is collected through various sources, such as online and offline surveys, browser and search data, and demographic information. Because third-party data is not collected directly from the advertiser's own website visitors and/or customers, it is subject to privacy regulations and may be less accurate or relevant than first-party data. The use of third party data in digital advertising will wind down in the near future as the third-party cookie is removed from the market. Top-of-funnel marketing (TOFU) Top-funnel marketing, also known as awareness marketing or brand building, refers to the stage in the customer journey where potential customers are introduced to a brand for the first time. The goal of top-funnel marketing is to create brand awareness and generate interest in a brand's products or services among a wider audience.Read more User acquisition is a term that describes the strategy and processes businesses apply to get new people to buy their product, use their app, or register for their service. There are a variety of strategies and tactics that marketers use to maximize their user acquisition rates. For example, a company will develop advertising campaigns, promotions, and rewards that are focused on attracting new users.Read more Video Ad-Serving Template (VAST) A Video Ad Serving Template (VAST) is a standardized XML format that defines the structure for delivering video ads to websites and apps. It provides a common language for video ad delivery and allows video ads to be served and played across a wide range of platforms and devices. VAST provides a framework for the delivery of video ads, including information about the ad's size, duration, and type, as well as tracking and reporting data. The use of a VAST standard helps to simplify the process of delivering video ads in programmatic advertising and ensures a high-quality, consistent viewing experience for users.

ISLAMABAD: A district and sessions court in Islamabad on Saturday reserved its verdict in Sara Inam murder case and will announce the verdict on December 14.

The 37-year-old was living at a farmhouse in the area where she was found dead. She was reportedly murdered with a dumbbell and her body was hidden in a bathtub in the bathroom.

Breaking Down the Parts of Medicare Generally, the different parts of Medicare help cover specific services. Most beneficiaries choose to receive their Parts A and B benefits through Original Medicare, the traditional fee-for-service program offered directly through the federal government. It is sometimes called Traditional Medicare or Fee-for-Service (FFS) Medicare. Under Original Medicare, the government pays directly for the health care services you receive. You can see any doctor and hospital that takes Medicare (and most do) anywhere in the country. In Original Medicare: - You go directly to the doctor or hospital when you need care. You do not need to get prior permission/authorization from Medicare or your primary care doctor. - You are responsible for a monthly premium for Part B. Some also pay a premium for Part A. - You typically pay a coinsurance for each service you receive. - There are limits on the amounts that doctors and hospitals can charge for your care. - If you want prescription drug coverage with Original Medicare, in most cases you will need to actively choose and join a stand-alone Medicare private drug plan (PDP). Note: There are a number of government programs that may help reduce your health care and prescription drug costs if you meet the eligibility requirements. Unless you choose otherwise, you will have Original Medicare. Instead of Original Medicare, you can decide to get your Medicare benefits from a Medicare Advantage Plan, also called Part C or Medicare private health plan. Remember, you still have Medicare if you enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan. This means that you must still pay your monthly Part B premium (and your Part A premium, if you have one). Each Medicare Advantage Plan must provide all Part A and Part B services covered by Original Medicare, but they can do so with different rules, costs, and restrictions that can affect how and when you receive care. It is important to understand your Medicare coverage choices and to pick your coverage carefully. How you choose to get your benefits and who you get them from can affect your out-of-pocket costs and where you can get your care. For instance, in Original Medicare, you are covered to go to nearly all doctors and hospitals in the country. On the other hand, Medicare Advantage Plans typically have network restrictions, meaning that you will likely be more limited in your choice of doctors and hospitals. However, Medicare Advantage Plans can also provide additional benefits that Original Medicare does not cover, such as routine vision or dental care. © Medicare Rights Center. Used with permission.

Anyone interested or involved with the ATM industry is certainly aware of the impending demise of Windows 7. The official end of support date for the Windows 7 OS, January 14, 2020, is just around the corner, which means that 2019 is sure to be an interesting and exciting year for ATM deployers across the globe. NCR has published a handy countdown clock on their website. Yet, personally, I think most organizations will be looking at a much earlier date for completing the migration, more like October or November of 2019. If this is the case, you may want to delete 90 or 100 days off the time left on the countdown clock. And, while the clock is a useful reminder that we are nearing the end of life for Windows 7, time is already ticking down for Windows 10. In fact, several versions of the Windows 10 OS are already out of support. So, how do we get off this treadmill and make this the last time that you’ll ever need to go through a Windows upgrade for your ATM fleet? The ATM Industry Responds Thankfully, the ATM Industry Association (ATMIA) as a significant effort underway to help accomplish that goal. Given the ongoing cost and complexity of managing the Windows environment for ATMs, along with the growing dominance of mobile technology, the ATMIA is leading an initiative to move the entire ATM industry forward toward the “Next Gen” ATM platform. This effort started back in early 2017 when ATMIA published an RFI seeking input on how to the industry can get off the Windows merry-go-round to “Simplify, Rationalize, and Standardize” the next generation of ATMs. The purpose of the RFI was to gather feedback on how to reduce the growing cost and complexity of managing ATMs, while leveraging all the investments being made in developing applications for mobile devices. Paragon was among a handful of industry leaders who joined the Consortium for Next Generation ATMs early, providing input and guidance on issues related to testing and certification that must be considered as we move forward toward the Next Generation of ATMs. Now more than year later, the importance of the ATMIA goals have really struck a chord in the marketplace. There are now more than 145 organizations participating in the program, with more joining every month. Peter Kulik, Director of Digital ATM Technology at Citibank Donna Embry, Chief Payments Officer at Payment Alliance International Leland Englebardt, Practice Leader, Financial Services at Upshot Advisors Given the momentum building behind the Next Gen ATM concept, it seems clear that the industry is ready to move beyond the Windows paradigm. The number of ATMs in use across the globe and the critical role they play for so many consumers means that this will require a significant effort by all parties, but for the channel to remain both viable and relevant, these changes will need to take place.

I now use nvALT, which is Brett Terpstra’s wonderful fork of the original that includes all sorts of handy extra features. That said, the original version would still be plenty fine for me regardless. A really great app.

I know everyone is freaking out about advertising right now. We were too... In fact, we felt the full effect of this 3 weeks ago. To be perfectly transparent, as we’re so very well known to be, our client results were down and we lost a lot of clients. We told everyone not to panic. We tried to explain that it’s cyclical. That everyone was feeling this. That the weak would be washed out… Which would leave the wise in a very powerful position for growth. With advertisers dropping out of the market, companies growing fearful, and screen time increasing, CPMs would go drop. Not to mention the boredom skyrocketing conversions. However, they did freak out. While others listened and weathered the storm. And now we’ve seen the tide turn. Take a look at this one client - who we scaled from $2k/day in spend to almost $20k/day in profitable spend. Casually a 9X increase in spend while increasing ROAS from 2.65X to 4.19X. Yep, they’ve now turned into an $80,000/day powerhouse brand, and we’re on track to crack 6 figures daily. The best part? They’re not an ‘essential good’. They’re not price gouging face masks, or sanitizer, and posting screenshots about it, like all the gurus out at the moment. This happened by making one minor tweak… We worked closely with our clients to reposition their brands from non-essentials, to essentials. You see, while many of the ‘victim’ brand owners are arguing that consumers are losing their jobs, and no longer want to buy their products, we realized something… People are now at home, bored out of their brains, and literally couldn’t spend their money if they tried! People have more time, more disposable income, and are more inclined to buy from you than ever. So long as the messaging is right. By repositioning the beauty brand above into a boredom buster, we were able to generate a phenomenal result. And you can do the same. Here’s the thing. At the moment, with many being too afraid to advertise, we have a lot of time on our hands. So next week, we will be doing free consultations with anyone that asks for it. We usually charge $3,000 USD for this, but have opened 5 slots only. The catch? We want to connect with cool business owners - with cool brands. In the call, we’ll be reformulating your messaging and product positioning, turning your brand into an essential that people will be panic buying and hoarding, as it flies of the shelves.

On Wednesday, August 1, the Pell Center and Newport CIV jointly hosted an evening conversation with two prominent experts on the course of the war in Afghanistan. Dr. Bernard Finel of the National War College and Dr. Mark Jacobson of the German Marshall Fund of the United States engaged an audience of more than 100 people with assessments of where we stand after nearly 11 years of fighting. America’s war in Afghanistan began weeks after the al Qaeda attacks of September 11, 2001. Within weeks, the Taliban had been routed. But for more than a decade since, American forces have been engaged in a difficult and violent process to create a state, defeat insurgents, and leave a stable Afghanistan behind. President Barack Obama campaigned for president on the idea of leaving Iraq to focus on Afghanistan, and the signature of this refocusing was a surge of U.S. forces into Afghanistan with the purpose of creating the security conditions for the eventual withdrawal of U.S. forces in 2014.But questions remain. Did the United States need a “surge” to achieve its policy goals in Afghanistan? What has been achieved in the last decade, plus, of fighting? How ready are Afghanistan’s forces to protect their own security? How can we assess U.S. policy in Afghanistan today? One of the highlights of the event was the use of electronic surveys to poll audience members about specific policy choices in Afghanistan. Examples of the responses are posted here. The feedback was terrific. Audience members valued the opportunity to provide instant feedback and the speakers were intrigued by what the audience had to say.
Good preparation matters when it comes to accomplishing a mission. Before you start your welding work, there are some essential things you need to take care of. Let’s get to know those in detail. Choosing the Right Filler Material This is an essential step for field welding, and that is selecting the right filler materials. It has a big impact on the longevity and durability of the weld joint. There are few things you need to consider when selecting the filler material. A technician will have to assess the material properties and chemistry of the parent material before finishing the joint and make sure both of them are complementary to make sure of the highest adhesion. Cleaning the Joint The next step is to clean the joint. If there’s any debris and dirt remaining in the joint, they might give you a weird finishing. You need to get rid of any oils, rust, or paint from the welding area before you begin to weld. Also, all the equipment involved in the welding should be cleaned properly before use. Preheating the Weld Area You cannot apply a hot welding arc to cold steel. The temperature imbalance will bring imperfections in your weld. The easiest solution to deal with the issue is preheating the parent material. This will help you to get rid of any hydrogen, oxygen, or other gases which may decrease the quality of the weld. Without performing this action, you might notice distortion, shrinkage stress, or severe crack on the weld. Advantages of Welding Joint Welding joints is fundamental in the manufacturing procedure. You cannot imagine the manufacturing industry without this technique applied, to be honest. In this section, we will discuss the benefits of welding joints. Let’s find out. - It’s a permanent joint. This helps to avoid any leakage or failure and makes a reliable joint between the components. - There’s no chance to underestimate the strength of the welding joint. It will give you superior joint strength. - You won’t have to drill any holes in the parent parts. So, there’s no choice but to weaken the strength of the parent components. - The load-bearing capability of the welded components won’t change after joining. - You can improve the mechanical properties of the weld bead to your desired level in the welding joint. - What makes this process incredible is the option to connect different shapes such as bars, sheets, plates, etc. - You can also join multiple dissimilar metals with or without the help of a filler metal. - Besides metals, you can join plastics, as well. As you can see, a welding joint has a lot of advantages. Therefore, when it comes to joining any metal parts, woods, or plastic, without any doubt, we can say this is the best option you have. Disadvantages of Welding Joint You know there’s a saying, “Nothing is perfect in this world. Everything has its pros and cons.” And there’s no exception when it’s about the welding joint. Anyways, let’s find some cautions, too. - You will have to deal with metallurgical changes as the base plates need to be heated to increase temperature. After that, cool down to room temperature when welding. - Residual stress generation will also be an issue because of the uneven heating and cooling. - You may also face distortion of the connected structure, which can bring dimensional inaccuracies. - The structure won’t do much well in dealing with vibrations. In long-term exposure to vibration, the joints will face a hard challenge to survive. At large, a welding joint is an excellent method of joining objects together. What comes to play is how you do it. Therefore, if you follow the proper procedure, you are not supposed to have any big issues with it.

It is officially my moving week. I move in on Wednesday, as if I haven’t mentioned it enough times.

But I have decided I am going to cover all of my walls in photos to make me feel at home and I grabbed this Monroe wall paper, I’ll find use for it somewhere. I had some bad news today, surprise. Which resulted to me pulling of my acrylic nails! This is the first time in two years I have seen my real nails, and it feels so strange to type with them. I have a lot to look forward to this week.

WILKES-BARRE PA – Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania hosted six $17,500 divisions of the first preliminary in the Game Of Claims Trotting Series for $25,000 base-tag horses, and the star of the day over the “sloppy +2” track was the Kadabra gelding Fight Song, who fronted his field throughout en route to a victory in 1:55.3 – with the next-fastest time recorded being 1:57.2. Anthony Napolitano kept the quick trotter’s mind to business throughout to win by daylight for trainer Susan Marshall, co-owner with John Marshall. “ANap” also had the seat behind GOC winner Vegas Ticket, who won for the second straight race while covering the off going in 1:58.1. Two-time defending driver champion Matt Kakaley also won twice in the Game Of Claims, scoring four times in all in the muck to stay in the lead while seeking his third straight title. Speaking of “third straight,” Passionate Prince has now stood in the winners circle after his race in his last trio of starts, this time after a 1:57.2 success; that clocking was also recorded by Kakaley’s other series winner, Evil Guy, who has three wins and a second after four seasonal races. Braxten Boyd won a GOC contest in 1:57.4 handling a winner of two straight, Hockey Hanover – the only horse to win two Pennsylvania Championships in the same year, as he took the Fair Championship and the Stallion Series Championship seven year ago when he was two. And Kinnder Thinktwice got the trotting brigade off to an upset start when he circled his opponents to win in 1:58 for driver Simon Allard, paying $75.00 for a deuce to win. None of the six success stories was claimed from the victories, although eight of their foes changed hands to the tune of $206,250. The Bobby Weiss Series for promising three-year-olds will be in the spotlight when racing resumes at Pocono Saturday at 1 p.m. Pacers of both sexes will go in their first series prelims, with six sections of males and three of females racing for $20,000 purses. Free Pocono programs are or will be available from www.phha.org.
CHESTER PA – 26-year-old driver Troy Beyer showed the cool of a seasoned sulkysitter in guiding Gingertree Stakias to a lifetime mark of 1:56.3 in the $14,400 trotting feature at Harrah’s Philadelphia on Wednesday afternoon. Despite brisk weather, the front end had been holding well, so Beyer moved Gingertree Stakias to the lead past a :28.3 opening panel, then got a breather to a :58.3 half. Down the backstretch, however, second choice Big Sky Ex made a big rush at the favorite, and Beyer chose to let that rival go by without a fight, keeping his horse on the bit to and past a 1:27 three-quarters. In the stretch, Gingertree Stakias again moved outside, and the Explosive Matter gelding had enough to win by three-quarters of a length over inside-shooting Storm Bringer, with Big Sky Ex holding for third, another three-quarters of a length back. Gingertree Stakias, who paid $87.60 in winning at this level last week, rewarded the faith of the public this time as he won his third race in his last five. Owner/trainer Jim Groff has been red-hot as of late, with “Stakias” keeping up the trend. As for Beyer, the feature was his third victory of the afternoon, at which figure he was joined by Simon Allard and Yannick Gingras. There will be no live racing on Thursday at Harrah’s Philadelphia so that horsemen and employees can enjoy Thanksgiving with their family and friends. On Friday’s 12:25 card, Jula Muscle Pack has been established as the 8-5 favorite in the $15,300 featured trot, starting from the rail for driver George Napolitano Jr. and trainer Per Engblom. . Program pages for the card are available at https://www.phha.org/harrahspps.html.
For many, carving pumpkins is an annual tradition. However, pumpkins can be slippery, tough and difficult to work with…let alone create a design on. This Halloween, keep these safety tips in mind when you’re carving your pumpkin masterpiece: Prep your pumpkin and carving area. Keep your pumpkin dry so it doesn’t slip out of your hands when carving. Place newspaper under your pumpkin and have paper towels handy. Also make sure your carving area is well-lit. Pick up the proper tools. Sharper isn’t always better. According to Jeffrey Wint, M.D., American Society for Surgery of the Hand: “A sharper knife often becomes wedged in the thicker part of the pumpkin, requiring force to remove it and could result in injury if your hand is in the wrong place.” Plastic tools, like those found in pumpkin carving kits, are less likely to get stuck and aren’t sharp enough to cause a deep cut. Leave carving to the adults. Allow the kids to trace their design and dig out the seeds and pumpkin “guts.” When it comes to actually carving the design, the adult should take the reins. Have a first-aid kit handy. Should an accident happen while carving, apply direct pressure to the injury with a dry, clean cloth. If bleeding doesn’t stop after 15 minutes, you may need to seek medical attention. Keep your options open. There are other, safer ways to decorate pumpkins. Cookie cutters or melon ballers can create fun shapes and designs without the use of a sharp knife. Or nix the carving all together and paint your pumpkin. Make it the ultimate arts and crafts project by using googly eyes, stickers or markers to decorate your pumpkin. Be careful with the candle flame. It’s so exciting to finally finish your carving and put a candle inside as the finishing touch, but remember to be extra careful handling an open flame, no matter how small. Any candle bares the risk of becoming a fire hazard, so never leave a candle unattended and keep them away from small children. Follow these candle safety tips before setting your jack-o-lantern aglow this Halloween. Or, for a safer alternative, consider purchasing flameless battery-operated tealight candles. Here’s something that shouldn’t be too scary: Finding the right insurance for your home and family. A better insurance experience starts with an Erie Insurance agent – where you get outstanding coverage, great rates and service from local people who care. A better insurance experience starts with ERIE. Haven’t heard of us? Erie Insurance started with humble beginnings in 1925 with a mission to emphasize customer service above all else.

Our 2023 core sovereign bonds outlook After a difficult 2022, we expect bonds to be back in favour in 2023, with long-dated US Treasuries’ safe-haven status serving to protect multi-asset portfolios in the event of recession. The US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) continued hawkishness going into next year due to the stickiness of US inflation and the robust employment market is likely to maintain some upward pressure on the 10-year US Treasury yield from current levels (3.42% on 7 December) in the first months of 2023. Nevertheless, both lower US Treasuries Notes and Bonds issuances in 2023 and recession risks lead us to foresee the 10-year US Treasury yield ending 2023 at around 3.5%, with occasional rallies towards 3% during the year. Due to their safe-haven status, we expect US Treasuries to benefit from any market turmoil or worries around a recession in the US, even if the Fed does not cut its policy rate. Although we position tactically on long-dated US Treasuries, we have decided to move from neutral to overweight on US Treasuries going into next year in order to benefit from their safe-haven status. However, we remain neutral on core euro government bonds, as we expect more elevated inflation in Europe and large net issuance by the German government to finance substantial fiscal stimulus, pushing the 10-year Bund yield from 1.78% (on 7 December) towards 2.1% by end-2023. This means a narrowing of the yield differential with its US counterpart. And although we consider the Bund’s safe-haven status to be questionable in this environment, we foresee a range of between 1.5% and 2.5% next year.

Sign up for the PlasticsToday NewsFeed newsletter. October 17, 2022 2 Min Read Image courtesy of Ascend Performance Materials Ascend Performance Materials has developed two materials for electric vehicles (EVs) that improve safety and passenger comfort. The company’s Starflam X-Protect and Vydyne AVS tackle two unique challenges automakers face when developing their EV platforms. Starflam X-Protect is an industry-leading flame-retardant polyamide 66 that withstands exposure to 1,100°C direct flame for 15 minutes, surpassing standard flame-retardant materials and aluminum tested in accordance with SAE AS5127 (a test originally designed for aerospace applications). “Safety remains one of the primary concerns for people considering an EV,” said Ian van Duijvenboode, Ascend’s Senior Director for e-mobility. “Despite being relatively rare, critical battery failure and thermal runaway can occur and X-Protect was designed to keep people safe even in extreme circumstances.” Ascend’s team of e-mobility application development engineers and polymer scientists created a novel solution to dampen noise, vibration, and harshness in EVs, which produce vibrations at 10 times the frequency of internal combustion engine vehicles. Vydyne AVS is a new engineered material effective at damping high-frequency vibrations from noise sources like motors and compressors, which translates into an 80% reduction in cabin sound pressure. One of the applications where Vydyne AVS is being used is in the Cadillac Lyriq, which has been dubbed “crypt-quiet” and “the quietest car I can remember driving” by the press. The Lyriq sports an electric AC compressor mounting bracket made of Vydyne AVS, which effectively helps damp that component’s vibrations at the source while also providing structural support. “Vydyne AVS is the result of years of engineering development combined with our unique ability to tailor the polymerization process to target specific attributes,” said Dr. Steve Manning, Ascend’s Senior Director for engineered materials. “It’s an example of our commitment to help customers lead in innovation and tackle the unique challenges driven by this transformation to electrification.” Ascend will be showcasing its new materials, including its low-carbon-footprint products, under the Advancing Together theme at K 2022 from Oct. 19 to 26 in hall 6, booth A07.

Blockchain-powered art platform Async Art has announced a new product called Async Music. This project taps into the concept that NFT owners can alter the music of a digital artwork. One artwork can be owned by multiple people, and each of them can alter a different element. Each Async Music NFT consists out of one Mastertrack NFT and up to nine different Stem NFTs. Each of these Stem NFTs has a maximum of nine different states. As a result there can be 362.880 different variations of a mastertrack. The current state of these stems, determined by their individual owners, create the mastertrack. Yes, that means that the mastertrack can change all the time based on somebody’s choice, or programmable through the time of the day, the weather of the price of bitcoin going up or down. Things get even a bit crazier. The album cover can also change based on the Stem NFTs. This gives Async Music both an audio and a visual element. They describe it as interactive music. “This is a method of interacting with music, connecting with the musician, and communicating with other fans in ways you’ve never been able to before. This is another beginning for programmable media”, Async wrote in their announcement blog. Music NFTs on the rise As mainstream media and celebrities pay more attention to the blockchain market and NFTs, we are finally seeing developments in the audio space. Music NFTs are slowly becoming a real thing. NFT pioneers like ConnieDigital have been combining various art forms in their NFTs, including music. Catalog tries to disrupt. Last month Euler Beats made a major splash into the blockchain community, introducing on-chain generated music and art into one single NFT. At the same time Gala Games is planning to let their community create and sell in-game music for the upcoming online game Mirandus. During the February NFT hype we’ve also seen a variety of famous dj making their moves into the blockchain space. 3LAU has been active for many months, and he made $11.6 million selling art and songs. Deadmau5 has been busy, while Steve Aoki sold some NFT art earlier this month. Gratz! You may have earned some PLAY tokens!

into biomass processing into biomass processing Nature has a lot of things figured out. It’s resilient. It’s agile. And it may be the key to renewable fuels and bioproducts of the future. By studying the smallest parts of biological systems, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) researchers have gained tremendous scientific insights into nature’s strengths. Our scientists take those insights and innovate ways to sustainably create the fuels and plastics we use every day. Plants contain the most abundant raw material for biofuel and bioproduct production: lignocellulose. This primary building block of plant cell walls is one of the components that makes them so hardy. It’s also incredibly difficult to break down into useful pieces. PNNL researchers study how the structure of lignocellulose holds secrets to its strength, and we study how it can be engineered into crops for reinforcement that promotes sustainability. Our researchers also trace which proteins microbes use to efficiently break down lignocellulose. We study how bacteria thrive on lignin, looking for proteins that work together to deconstruct the rigid polymer in ways that avoid generating toxic byproducts. We also examine how fungi and bacteria work together to process leaves and plant matter. Our findings provide clues to the role of each consumer during decomposition. Omics and engineering for success Instruments and expertise in PNNL’s Biological Sciences Facility and the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, a Department of Energy, Office of Science user facility at PNNL, are critical to sequencing omics data and developing genetic tools for organism engineering. Through their work at the Department of Energy’s Joint BioEnergy Institute, for example, our researchers translate genetic sequences into biotechnology applications, such as improving fungi’s ability to secrete cellulose-deconstructing enzymes. PNNL researchers also use metabolic engineering and omics tools to harness the natural robustness and efficiency of microbial communities to process industrial and agricultural waste. We have designed an engineered microbial consortia to convert methane and carbon dioxide from these waste streams into valuable microbial biomass—one of several starting points for biofuels and bioproducts like plastics.

He hurriedly pulled off my panty, and he came over to me, hugging and kissing all over my face. He started to rub my pussy while licking and chewing my nipples. He went down to my legs. He pushed my legs apart.He kissed my clean pussy, and he started licking my pussy much harder than his hand rub. He was fingering my pussy.

From the moment I walked into that men’s room and fondled his cock, I knew exactly what I was doing. Each time I would ask him for more money then tell him how much I wanted to suck his cock. I knew that like many men he had a big ego about his cock so I always made it a point to tell him how big it was.

Over five thousand kilometers and sixty degrees Celsius separate the hot-air balloon glides over seemingly endless forests of pine. A sports car is drifting in the snow. Between the two, a drone slices through the air. Then it swoops down dramatically and ensnares the car at breakneck speed. A winter landscape? The eye can scarcely apprehend how the flight maneuver suddenly transitions to a desert. The music underscores the dynamic acts of cinematography and driving like a symphony of contrasts. The locations provide the extremes in this action film: snow in Finland, desert sands in the United Arab Emirates. The protagonist is the The second hero remains in the background. Johnny FPV has both feet on the frozen ground, about a hundred kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, as he works his magic from the bird’s-eye view above. He is wearing black video glasses and holding a drone controller in his hands, with gloves protecting them against the frigid air—the filmmaker’s biggest challenge today. A closed course with prepared ice tracks, the “It’s important to fly in a unique way, to establish a trademark style.” Born Johnny Schaer, the three initials in his professional handle stand for “first-person view”—the camera perspective of the films that have made his passion a career. Thanks to instantaneous transmission speeds, the pilot sees the world almost live with the eye of the camera. Later, the viewer experiences the spectacular flight maneuvers with sensory directness. The twenty-five-year-old from Chicago loves speed, cars, and flying, and is known for exceptionally dexterous maneuvers. Few can match his skill in making the viewer a part of the action. He opens up new horizons, offering surprising dimensions in technical perfection. Watching him and his drone at work, one senses how the virtual and real worlds meld into one. The film, entitled Drive2Extremes. Schaer bought his first drone at the age of fifteen, followed days later by the second, and shortly thereafter the third. He practiced relentlessly. He got good. And then he became a pro. “Hand-eye coordination is crucial to being a good pilot. Otherwise it’s just a mix of hard work, good ideas, and talent,” he says. In Drive2Extremes, the shots are dynamic in multiple ways. The car moves forward—the drone in all directions. Johnny has developed his own style with which he captivates the viewer. “It’s important to fly in a unique way, to establish a trademark style. My videos bear my signature. They’re not jerky, they’re precise, and they’re very fluid.” In just seven years, he’s ascended into upper echelons of FPV pilots. “It’s indescribable to see and feel how strongly the
What you will see Rock Formations, Sandy bottom, Sea Life, Underwater Cavern After dropping the anchor just off the Ilheu de Cima, you do an 8 min swim over rocks and boulders to reach the small cavern with a bottom of very fine sand. After carefully entering you can ascend a few metres into a short chimney. Often you meet a large black ray just outside the cavern. Inside the cavern, shine your torch up to see bogues and sea bream, and once you have explored again, revisit the rocks outside to search for well-hidden lobsters and moray eels. Over the sand and rocky bottom a little further away, you will spot more sea bream, parrotfish and triggerfish—an exciting dive comprising a mix of environments. --Spot description: Uwe Preuss -- Photos by: Luis Gui, Pedro Bernardo

Find more answers about the PQFORCE partnership here. - How can I get more information about the PQFORCE Partner Program? Please contact us via the inquiry form. When doing so, select the appropriate option under "How can we help you?". We will then be happy to arrange a meeting to answer your questions. - Are there any costs for me as a PQFORCE partner? No. You receive free training from us, which you complete with a certificate. You pay only with the time you spend for this training and the partnership in principle. You conclude a partnership agreement with us, which regulates all details. After the certification you will be able to support PQFORCE customers as a service provider and thus expand your business. Thus, with a PQFORCE partnership you gain much more than it costs you. - What if there are no training courses available right now or the dates listed don't suit me? We continuously offer new training courses for interested partner companies. Simply contact us so that we can inform you in good time when new course dates become known. You may also be able to register at short notice, as long as places are still available. - Can anyone become a PQFORCE partner? What are the requirements? Basically, we train companies as PQFORCE partners, not individuals. However, the company naturally names individual employees who then attend our training courses and receive a certificate as a person in the respective role. Through the certification of the employees, the company is then also certified. However, not every company is suitable for certification. We attach importance to companies that already have many years of consulting experience in the project business and also have a high affinity for IT. Furthermore, we are primarily looking for companies in German-speaking countries, as we conduct the training courses in German. Also an on-site presence is required, the courses do not take place online. We will check the suitability for certification in initial discussions with you. Simply contact us to arrange a meeting. - Can I also acquire several partner roles? Maybe even in the same course? Yes, this is possible. The different partner roles require the participation in different training modules. Module 1, for example, is already sufficient for the role of "Sales Partner", but together with modules 2 and 3 it is also a prerequisite for the role of "Consulting Partner". Thus, by participating in these three modules, you can also obtain both certificates at the same time. However, you can also attend only module 1 at a first course and be certified as a "Sales Partner", in order to then catch up on modules 2 and 3 at a later point in time at another course. - Does the role of "Sales Partner" make me a PQFORCE salesperson? You decide that for yourself. We do not oblige you to do so under any circumstances. The role "Sales Partner" is rather meant as a sales support. Thanks to your network in the consulting business, you help us find interested customers by introducing them to PQFORCE and its added values. We then take over the actual sales process. But you will profit in case of a contract conclusion with the customer. And possibly even doubly: on the one hand, because you receive a commission through the contact referral, and on the other hand, because as a "consulting partner" you can then also look after the new customer straight away, thereby providing services for system implementation and support. - Is such a short training at all sufficient to support customers with services around the platform as a PQFORCE partner? We want to keep the entry hurdle for new partners low and enable a quick start with a short but intensive basic training. But it goes without saying that participation in the course alone is not enough. We expect our partners to deal with the PQFORCE platform independently and regularly and to continue their own training. For this purpose, we provide appropriate online documentation and provide each partner company with an exclusive demo system (Enterprise Edition) free of charge. We will also offer training courses from time to time and invite partners to participate to refresh their knowledge and learn about the latest PQFORCE features and enhancements. This is part of the partnership agreement that we sign with each partner and captures the spirit of a good partnership. Would you like to become a PQFORCE partner? Let's work together to help customers succeed in the project business. Find out in detail about the possibilities.Contact us
– English spelling can be unpredictable and inconsistent. – There are several words in the English language that have weird spellings. – Memorizing these words can help improve spelling skills. English spelling has long been a source of frustration for both native speakers and learners of the language. Unlike many other languages, English spelling does not always follow consistent rules, leading to numerous exceptions and irregularities. In this article, we will explore the concept of weird word spellings and delve into a list of 15 words that defy our expectations. So, get ready to test your spelling skills and discover the fascinating stories behind these peculiar spellings. The Quirks of English Spelling English spelling is known for its quirks and inconsistencies. While some words follow predictable patterns, many others seem to defy logic. This can be attributed to the complex history of the English language, which has borrowed words from various sources, resulting in a mishmash of spelling conventions. Additionally, the evolution of pronunciation over time has further complicated the spelling of words. As a result, English spelling can often be described as a puzzle that requires careful attention and memorization. Weird Word Spellings: A Challenge Now, let’s put your spelling skills to the test. Below is a list of 15 words with weird spellings. Try to spell them correctly without looking them up: How did you do? Don’t worry if you struggled with some of these words. Even native English speakers often find these spellings challenging. The Stories Behind the Spellings Each of these weirdly spelled words has its own unique story. Let’s explore a few examples: 1. Colonel: This word is derived from the Italian word “colonello,” which means “column of soldiers.” The spelling was altered when it was adopted into English, resulting in the unexpected pronunciation. 2. Knife: The silent “k” in “knife” can be traced back to its Old English origins. The “k” was once pronounced, but over time, the pronunciation shifted while the spelling remained unchanged. 3. Pneumonia: The “p” in “pneumonia” is silent, which can be traced back to its Greek roots. The “p” was originally pronounced, but it was dropped in English while the spelling remained intact. These stories behind the spellings not only add to the intrigue but also provide insights into the historical development of the English language. Strategies for Remembering Weird Spellings Memorizing the spellings of these weird words can be a daunting task. However, there are a few strategies that can help: 1. Mnemonics: Create memorable phrases or sentences that incorporate the correct spelling. For example, to remember “accommodate,” you could use the phrase “two cots, two m’s.” 2. Visualize: Visualize the word in your mind, paying attention to the specific letters and their order. This can help reinforce the correct spelling in your memory. 3. Practice: Regularly practice spelling these words to reinforce your memory. Use flashcards or online spelling quizzes to test yourself. The Importance of Spelling Skills While it may seem trivial, having strong spelling skills is essential in various aspects of life. Whether it’s writing a professional email, crafting a resume, or simply communicating effectively, accurate spelling plays a crucial role. It conveys professionalism, attention to detail, and clarity of thought. Additionally, good spelling skills can enhance one’s overall language proficiency and boost confidence in written communication. English spelling can be a perplexing maze of irregularities, but by embracing the challenge and learning the weird spellings of certain words, we can improve our overall spelling skills. The list of 15 words provided in this article serves as a starting point for exploring the intricacies of English spelling. Remember, practice and persistence are key to mastering these weird word spellings. So, keep exploring, keep learning, and soon enough, you’ll be spelling these words with ease.
ORCHARD BEACH – An Old Orchard Beach-based band is celebrating its 20th anniversary together by raising money for a good cause. Members of Beyond Reason will perform at One Longfellow Square on Saturday, Jan. 19 in Portland, with proceeds being donated to the Preble Street Resource Center. This is far from the first time the rock, folk and blues band has done a fundraiser. Throughout its two-decade tenure, the band has performed benefits for multiple causes, including the Maine Breast Cancer Coalition, Peabody House, Ryan White Foundation, and Acid Rain Retirement Fund. The band’s guitarist and co-founder, Greg Kidd, believes that their interest in causes stems organically from their love of music. "We all have the feeling that we’ll play for free because we love playing music," Kidd said. "If someone approaches us with a cause that fits our beliefs as a group, it’s just who we are and what we do." Kidd, who owns an environmental training business in Old Orchard Beach called North East Water & Wastewater Training Associates, says the idea for doing the show as a benefit came from a friend who works for Preble Street. He says that they were all struck by the things they were told about the center. "A lot of the people are there because of mental illness," Kidd said. He also added that his daughter volunteers at the soup kitchen and was another source of inspiration for doing the fundraiser. "They told me that with every dollar they raise, they can buy six pounds of food," Kidd said. "Both Preble Street and One Longfellow were great and easy to work with in doing this benefit." However, this benefit would most likely not be taking place if it weren’t for some technical difficulties during a CD release show in September for their fourth album, "The Blue Room." "One of the power amps that powers the main speakers kept cutting in and out," Kidd said. "So part of the night the audience was treated to feedback from the monitors." Because of the sound issues, One Longfellow offered to give Beyond Reason another night at the venue, without the fee for renting the space. Kidd sees the venue as one of the best in Portland. "It’s very professional, and a wonderful setup to see a show," he said. "It’s a real performance venue." Beyond Reason, whose members range in ages from their late 40s to mid 50s, came together in 1992. Kidd had placed an ad seeking a singer/songwriter to accompany him on guitar, and was successful in finding vocalist Steve Leighton, who was also actively looking for a guitarist. "We met, connected musically, and have been playing together ever since," Kidd said. They released their first album, "World For You," in 1993 with part of the proceeds donated to the Maine Breast Cancer Coalition. Kidd and Leighton also produced and sang a re-write of a Temptations song, "Get Ready," for the National Breast Cancer Coalition’s march on Washington. "Leighton’s voice was blasting over the steps down there in Washington, D.C.," Kidd said. From the start, Kidd and Leighton brought their influences to the table. Leighton was influenced heavily by Rush, while Kidd and bassist Steve Mead tapped progressive rock bands such as Yes. Kidd also has an ongoing interest in Celtic and English folk rock, which shows in some of his guitar arrangements. Kidd said that with each song and record he and Leighton wrote, they brought out different things stylistically. The band has maintained the same lineup since 1995, with Mead, drummer Roland Krueger and pianist Tom Coolidge. Leighton had been performing for the Portland Players, with lead roles in both "Godspell" and "Jesus Christ Superstar," and worked with Mead and Krueger, who played in the pit band for those performances. Their second album, which was self-titled, was released in 1995 and took a more acoustic pop-rock approach, with a single called "Afterlife Café" receiving airplay on local radio. It was also, according to Kidd, nearly picked up by a Nashville publisher looking for singles for an unnamed country artist. After the release of the more blues oriented EP, "Stompin’ the Blues: Vol.1," in 1996, they began a recording hiatus of nearly 15 years, but continued to play a few concerts every year. Kidd cited time, jobs and families as the main factors for the long break, but said they always had the itch to play. "The Blue Room," released in September, features re-recorded versions of the five songs from "Stompin’ the Blues," as well as five new tracks. Kidd said he was never happy with the original recordings, and the band recorded the new album with producer/engineer Mike McInnis at his MMPro studio in Portland. Kidd says the band is already working on a new batch of songs for later this year. "It’s just never stopped," Kidd said. "At the time, we didn’t realize how long it had been (since recording) until we looked back." He stressed that a lot of bands just give up or get tired of one another, but they have continued to find the drive and inspiration to keep playing. "Even though we all have jobs and families," he said, "we’re good friends, and we still enjoy playing together."

Published by JAMA Pediatrics, the report looked at more than 96,000 men and women with a follow-up of over 22 years. The researchers, from Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard University, asked individuals to recall their milk consumption as a teenager. In the follow-up, men reported 490 hip fractures while women reported 1,226. The results suggested that for men, each additional glass of milk per day as a teenager was associated with a 9% higher risk of hip fractures, with the association partially influenced by height. No association between teenage milk consumption and hip fractures in women was identified. In regards to the differences between the two genders, the researchers cited the possibility of "an increase in bone mass with an adverse effect of greater height," the authors wrote. "Women are at higher risk for osteoporosis than men, hence the benefit of greater bone mass balanced the increased risk related to height." Cheese intake, however, was not associated with a risk of hip fracture in either men or women. "Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010 recommends the consumption of three cups of milk or equivalent dairy foods per day to promote maximal bone mass in adolescents," the researchers concluded. "In this investigation, higher milk consumption at this age did not translate into a lower risk of hip fracture for older adults, and a positive association was observed among men." Connie Weaver, a nutrition scientist from Purdue University, expressed concerns regarding the the report. "A main tenet of [the researchers] is that milk consumption in teens may have led to an increase in height as an adult. Height has been identified as a risk factor for osteoporosis," Weaver, who was not involved in the study, said in a statement. "It is not clear why this would be true in men but not women, and especially given that men experience about one-fourth the hip fractures that women do." The investigators could have tested the contribution of other dietary protein sources (eggs, meat) to height and subsequent fracture risk to help confirm the impact of dietary protein more generally."
Radio Address to the Nation on Terrorism My fellow Americans: History is likely to record that 1986 was the year when the world, at long last, came to grips with the plague of terrorism. For too long, the world was paralyzed by the argument that terrorism could not be stopped until the grievances of terrorists were addressed. The complicated and heartrending issues that perplex mankind are no excuse for violent, inhumane attacks, nor do they excuse not taking aggressive action against those who deliberately slaughter innocent people. In our world there are innumerable groups and organizations with grievances, some justified, some not. Only a tiny fraction has been ruthless enough to try to achieve their ends through vicious and cowardly acts of violence upon unarmed victims. Perversely, it is often the terrorists themselves who prevent peacefully negotiated solutions. So, perhaps the first step in solving some of these fundamental challenges in getting to the root cause of conflict is to declare that terrorism is not an acceptable alternative and will not be tolerated. Effective antiterrorist action has also been thwarted by the claim that—as the quip goes—"One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." That's a catchy phrase, but also misleading. Freedom fighters do not need to terrorize a population into submission. Freedom fighters target the military forces and the organized instruments of repression keeping dictatorial regimes in power. Freedom fighters struggle to liberate their citizens from oppression and to establish a form of government that reflects the will of the people. Now, this is not to say that those who are fighting for freedom are perfect or that we should ignore problems arising from passion and conflict. Nevertheless, one has to be blind, ignorant, or simply unwilling to see the truth if he or she is unable to distinguish between those I just described and terrorists. Terrorists intentionally kill or maim unarmed civilians, often women and children, often third parties who are not in any way part of a dictatorial regime. Terrorists are always the enemies of democracy. Luckily, the world is shaking free from its lethargy and moving forward to stop the bloodshed. Nearly a month ago in Tokyo, the leaders of the major Western democracies hammered out an agreement on tough measures to eradicate this evil. Ironically the progress made in Tokyo is now imperiled by a lack of consistent support at home. For nearly a year now a handful of United States Senators have held up approval of a supplementary extradition treaty between the United States and the United Kingdom. This agreement, when ratified, would prevent terrorists who have kidnaped, killed, or maimed people in Britain from finding refuge in our country. Today these killers are able to do just that by labeling their vile acts as political. Well, in Tokyo the democracies declared there is no political or any other justification for terrorist acts and those who commit them should be brought to justice. The world is watching. If actions by a few Senators allow terrorists to find safe haven in the United States, then there will be irreparable damage. Refusal to approve the supplementary treaty would undermine our ability to pressure other countries to extradite terrorists who have murdered our citizens. And rejection of this treaty would be an affront to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, one European leader who, at great political risk, stood shoulder to shoulder with us during our operations against Qadhafi's terrorism. Some members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee have gone so far as to prepare a substitute treaty permitting those who have murdered British policemen and soldiers, for so-called political reasons, to avoid extradition. Well, this substitute is not a compromise; it's retreat. Its passage would be a victory for terrorism and a defeat for all we've been trying to do to stop this evil. One concern about the treaty is that it may set a precedent for other treaties, which will then be used against those who simply oppose totalitarian regimes. We can never permit that to happen. Our country will always remain the beacon of hope and freedom to all oppressed peoples. I therefore urge the Senate to promptly approve the revised treaty and reinforce the momentum building against terrorism. With good sense, courage, and international cooperation, our struggle against terrorism will be won. And the United States will lead the way into a freer and more peaceful tomorrow. Until next week, thanks for listening, and God bless you. Note: The President spoke at 12:06 p.m. from Camp David, MD.

The President's Radio Address Good morning. On this bright Labor Day weekend I'm speaking to you from America's heartland, where Vice President Gore, Hillary, Tipper, and I are traveling by bus through the small towns and lush farmland of Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, and my home State of Arkansas. I took my train trip to Chicago and this bus trip after Chicago because I wanted to look into the faces, the eyes, the hearts of the people of our country who work so hard every day, the people I've been working hard for and fighting for the last 4 years. I just wish every American could have been with me—could have been with me just to see the hope and the courage of the people I've met. We're meeting a lot of people with big dreams, American dreams. And our American community should help these people to realize their dreams. Today I want to talk to you about what we can do to help America's working families make the most of their own lives. It is clearer to me than ever before we are on the right track to the 21st century. Our economy is growing, creating opportunity for people. Just this week we got new news of how our economy is moving forward and creating opportunity. Consumer confidence is the highest in years, and in the most recent statistics, economic growth hit 4.8 percent. In the past couple of weeks we've made real progress for working families. Ten million Americans got an increase in their incomes when we increased the minimum wage law. The same law also protected the pensions of small-business people and made it easier for employees of small businesses to get retirement security and to keep it when they move from job to job. We passed a $5,000 tax credit to encourage people to adopt children. We passed the Kennedy-Kassebaum bill so you don't lose your health insurance if you move from job to job or if a member of your family has been sick. This Labor Day, it's a time of real progress and real opportunity for America's working people. But all this progress doesn't mean we can stand still. We still have a lot to do to get ready for the 21st century. As I told our Nation Thursday night, we can have an America with safe streets, good schools, thriving businesses, healthy families, and a strong, clean environment. That's the America that I want to build a bridge to, a bridge to the 21st century. We should make college available to all young Americans. Now that we've ended welfare as we know it, it must be a national mission to provide jobs for the people who will move off welfare. We must clean up two-thirds of the toxic waste sites in America, so our children live near parks, not poison. We can do more, much more, to give every American family the security that comes from owning their own home. A home of your own has always been at the center of American life. It gives families security and pride. For most families it's the main form of financial savings. Owning a home gives every young couple a stake in the American dream. Our administration has put in place a comprehensive strategy to increase homeownership, including dramatically bringing down mortgage rates. In the last 4 years, 4.4 million more Americans became homeowners; that's the highest level in 15 years. Home sales are rising over twice as fast this year as in each of the past 3 years. I'm especially pleased by this good news because it shows that our comprehensive strategy for homeownership is working. By cutting paperwork at the FHA and giving families a break, we're cutting the average closing costs for first-time homebuyers by about $1,000. By cutting the Federal budget deficit by more than 60 percent, we've had on average the lowest home mortgage rates in 30 years. And as interest rates dropped, 10 million homeowners refinanced their mortgages, all of them together saving as much as $25 billion. This week I propose to do even more. We should say that if a couple sells their home and the increase in value is up to $500,000, they will not have to pay any tax on the gain from the sale of that home. This can help millions of American older couples selling their homes to retire, middle class families who have to move from community to community for work, residents in inner-city neighborhoods where home prices are low but may go higher. It will spur home sales in an already strong housing market. For working families, their home is the most important asset, their biggest financial investment. Our tax cut means that working families will never have to pay taxes when they sell their homes. That's the right kind of tax cut for America. This tax cut, like every one I've proposed, is fully paid for in my balanced budget plan. We won't bust the budget to pay for tax cuts. We'll cut spending and close corporate loopholes. That way we'll keep interest rates coming down as we balance the budget, so the economy can grow even faster and stronger. We should cut taxes to help working families meet their real needs for education, for medical expenses, to help raise children, and for homebuying. These tax cuts will help our economy. It will help to keep America growing. I look forward to taking our argument for opportunity, responsibility, and community to the American people. On this Labor Day weekend, I know that our values are strong, our confidence is high, and hope is back in America. We are on the right track. This will be an age of great possibility for our people. If we give every American the tools to thrive, the chance to own their own home, this coming century can be the greatest moment in American history. We need to build a bridge to it. Happy Labor Day, and thanks for listening.

Είναι η μεγάλη ποικιλία εικόνων από μαγευτικά ακρογιάλια έως- θα έλεγα- μυθικά ορεινά συγκροτήματα. Και είναι, κυρίως, όλα αυτά που ζούνε μέσα στην ψυχή του Έλληνα, όπως η φιλοξενία του κι όπως το πείσμα του να περνάει τις δυσκολίες. Αλλά και η βαθιά εκτίμηση και ο σεβασμός που νιώθουν όλοι οι Έλληνες για τον Κινεζικό πολιτισμό και η αγάπη τους για τον Κινεζικό λαό. Εύχομαι να έχετε την ευκαιρία να τα γνωρίσετε όλα αυτά από κοντά. Και είμαι βέβαιος ότι οι λαοί μας θα έρθουν πιο κοντά μέσα από μια στρατηγική σχέση που βήμα-βήμα οικοδομούμε. Και πάλι σας ευχαριστώ θερμότατα. Ήταν η πιο όμορφη πρώτη στιγμή της επίσκεψης μας στην Κίνα. Ευχαριστώ πολύ». Στη συνέχεια, ο Πρωθυπουργός μίλησε στην Κινεζική Ακαδημία Κοινωνικών Επιστημών. Ακολουθεί η ομιλία του Πρωθυπουργού: It is a great honor and real pleasure for me – and for all the members of the Greek delegation – to be here in China today. For some of us, like myself, this is the first time and this has always been my dream; it is a life-long destination that I have finally reached. And it’ s definitely Mr. President a great honor for me to be here, in this Academy of such a great international importance. May I first say that Chinese and Greeks, no matter how different we are in many aspects, we share something absolutely important and vital: We both carry a very rich cultural tradition with deep, very deep, influence over the centuries to all parts of the world. We have both carved deep and long paths in History. As some have said, other people count time in years or decades… Chinese and Greeks count time in centuries and millennia! We share other things too: Ancient China went through a period of “Spring and Autumn” during which “a thousand schools of thought” flourished. Ancient Greece had exactly the same experience, roughly during the same historical period in the Antiquity. When the pre-Socratic, naturalist philosophy produced the legendary “seven sages”, or wise men. Ancient China had its period of “warring states”, between the 5th and the 3rd centuries BC or BCE – Before our Common Era. About the same time, we experienced the same phenomenon, of Greek City States fighting for dominance amongst each other. Back in the sixties and the early seventies, Chinese studies were not so much in fashion, in the rest of the world, as they are today. But, being a Greek, I was always interested in China. I remember long discussions with some of my friends, trying to figure out “parallels” and “distinctions” between our cultures: — Was Confucius closer to Plato or to Aristotle? — Was Sun Tzu closer to the strategic realism of Thucydides or to the tactical pragmatism and mastery of Xenophon? — Was General Sun Bin, this long descendant of Sun Tzu, a parallel to Alexander or to Ificrates? or to Miltiades for that matter? — Was Lao Tzu, or Lao Tse, a parallel to Pythagoras or to Heraclitus? To tell you the truth, I never answered those questions, I don’ t think that anybody has ever answered them in a satisfactory manner. But in any case, there is one thing certain about all these: Chinese Culture and Greek Culture gave “meaning” to human societies, across the borders and across the ages. They both provided time-transcending ideals, principals, norms, rationality, ethics and aesthetics that enriched spirituality, beyond short-lived intellectual fashions, trivial concerns or momentary impressions. Even in more recent time frames, our two countries, China and Greece, look so different in many aspects and yet so strikingly similar in many others. Indeed, we are so different in size, location on the globe and social systems. And yet so similar in other respects: we both suffered dramatically from foreign aggression and occupation during the Second World War. Our peoples fought on the same side of the anti-fascist war and endured a lot of suffering. And this binds us together even more. Finally, we both went through periods of painful transformation after the War. And we have covered a very long way in a very short time these last decades… And, here comes another striking difference among us: China is now rapidly emerging as a world power, is a big world power. Greece, on the other hand, is striving to overcome one of the most severe social and economic crisis of the last 50 years; a crisis that, for a moment, jeopardized all of our achievements in the last 30 years. In a short and shallow perspective, we seem to be on different “trajectories” or in opposing “phases”. But in a broader and longer perspective, our destinies are closer than most “outsiders” can suspect. And this is precisely what I would mainly try to address today: Not the past of our countries, but our common prospects in the future. And I would not constraint my presentation to Greece alone. I would rather talk about Europe as a whole, of which Greece is and will remain an integral part. What makes it even more relevant now is that in the first half of next year Greece will hold the Presidency of the European Union. And, I think, this is a unique opportunity to reshape Sino-European relations. Of course, this is a much broader issue, extending way beyond Greece itself. It has to meet the consensus of all 27 members of our Union and all of our Institutions. But Greece can play a role in achieving it and this is what we intend to do. Because we believe it is to the best interests of all parties involved: Europe, China and Greece, of course. Now China and Europe are two unique pillars of our International System. They are the first and third political entities world-wide, in terms of population. They haven’t posed any security threat for each other in the past. But they really need each other for a number of reasons, both economic and political, concerning trade and investment flaws as well as geopolitical concerns. Admittedly, there are some obstacles in the construction of a deep bilateral relationship. But there is a common scope from both sides to overcome these obstacles. Europeans and Chinese need each other. They are wise enough, experienced enough and non-aggressive enough, to make it happen. The sooner we realize it, I believe the more successful we are going to be. Already ten years have elapsed since the first Strategic Agreement between Europe and China. We believe that this can move much further and really faster… Now, how does Greece come into play? For starters it is the natural “gateway” to China. Despite the fact that we are a relatively small country, our Commercial fleet is the largest in the world and has already provided a very large contribution in the trade between China and Europe. Bilateral trade means transportation. And this, in turn, means commercial routes, transportation means and infrastructures. We can have a serious contribution in all these fields: Greek ports, Greek airports, and Greek railways can be a part of large commercial network extending way beyond Greece in the European hinterland, from South East to North West. Of course, this will not be the only path of trade between China and Europe; but both parties need “alternatives” to feel secure. And the “Greek gateway” can very well serve as a major route among other viable alternatives. We don’t regard ourselves as “competing” with others, in serving the Sino-European trade. We rather think in the context of complementing other potential trade routes… One of the advantages of our proposal, however, is that most of the infrastructures exist. We need new construction works, mainly upgrading some of our ports and our railway system. And we already run a major multi-project privatization plan, including concessions to many pieces of ready infrastructures. We would want Chinese companies to play an active role in that. We can team up together to shape up this major gateway between China and Europe. Moving beyond infrastructures, we know that on trade routes there is a large scope for logistics providers. We believe it would be an excellent idea if Chinese companies took this opportunity and invest on logistic services in Greece, as part of a plan to bring China and Europe closer. Even beyond commercial routes, there is a large scope for communication networks. We know that this is an area where China is becoming more and more competitive on a world level. We strongly believe that all of Europe can benefit from such competition. On the other hand, there is a special national scope for Greece in all these considerations: In Tourism, in Archaeological visits, in Primary Sector exports and manufacturing. We don’t produce very large quantities, at least for the scale of China. But we are proud for the quality of a number of our products: our extra-virgin olive oil which is the base for the famous Mediterranean diet; our fruits and vegetables – fresh, frozen or processed; our fisheries. All these and dozens more, present real opportunities for foreign trade and investment in manufacturing. Most of you have some idea about these Greek competitive advantages. But, if you asked me, the five most important advantages of Greece, are not so well known abroad. –Firstly, its unique coastal line: Our coasts are about as long as the coastline of all of Africa! This, including a unique archipelago of islands scattered in short distance from each other, offers vast opportunities for all kinds of economic activities, from sea sports to sailing and island hoping, to fishing and to transportation. — Secondly, a unique combination of historical sight-seeing, from the prehistoric to the modern era. In a neighborhood of a few miles, you can visit temples from the classical period, the site of famous battlefields during the Roman years, monumental Byzantine churches of over thousand years, plus some of the most modern hotel resorts, close to sites from the ancient mythology. These combinations in the same vicinity present themselves literally all over Greece, from North to South, from East to West, from the legendary Mount Olympus to the Cycladic island of Delos, from one epicenter of our ancient civilization to the next. Not to mention unique natural sites of huge rocks, hanging as if from heaven, some of them even decorated on top with centuries-old monasteries. — Thirdly, an equally unique diversity of animal and plant life: From wild flowers and herbs, to life stock breads, providing all kinds of production, manufacturing and export opportunities. — Fourthly, Educational and Cultural exchanges. We are a small nation that has learned and appreciated the potential of Education. Whenever we had stunning successes in our history, education had played a key role. We know that you share the same experience and the same conviction. So we can join forces. Imagine an unprecedented dialogue between East and West Cultures. I can only express my pride for the fact that a Greek ship-owner, the late Vasilis Constantacopoulos, has helped establishing a Center of Hellenic Studies in the University of Beijing. I want to pay tribute to his contribution and to his memory. This is definitely a good start. And as they say, the sky is the limit! So, imagine a dialogue between China and Greece, open to other parties, on philosophy, Mr. President, which you have studied so well, on mathematics, on comparative historical studies as well as on contemporary fields of applied science, as medicine, electronics and renewable energies. Joined research ventures between us, could really capture the attention of the spiritual world across continents and open up new roads for global understanding. I’ ve just told at CCTV in an interview, I had that somebody on the plane, as we were coming, was reading Sun Tzu. And I said, why was he doing this? Was he trying to find out about historic weaponry? Of course not. What he was searching was the dynamic part of the wisdom that was radiating through the book. It’s the wisdom you are looking for in Lao Tse, for instance, in Confucius for instance. What other countries, what other civilizations could ever open a such a dialogue and re-discuss the History and the development of the world through the ages talking about personalities of that high standard in the world of Philosophy, for instance, or History. To such a dialogue can be a very important part of the synergies we can look for among our two countries. –Last but not least, an immeasurable potential of human capital. We have talents and skills of thousands of Greeks, who have studied and excelled in Greek and foreign Universities. In almost any campus we can visit all over the western world, you will find large crowds of Greeks specializing on all fields of Science and Technology. Many of them are staying abroad because of the harsh recession that has hit Greece recently. And almost all of them would like to return to Greece and have a career commensurate to their education. The training and experience they have acquired is probably the most dynamic of the Greek advantage today. –And may I add, ladies and gentlemen, a final geopolitical point: Greece is stably anchored in the European Union. But if one just looks on the map, he will certainly realize that the stability, the prosperity and the extraversion of Greece, can play a vital role to the east Mediterranean beyond Europe. This is a troubled region, where along with our partners, we can help keep it stable and keep it growth oriented. We know that China has a profound interest in the Middle East and in North Africa regions. And we understand that our potential stabilizing role in this area is also something that you may appreciate. Now the good thing about all this is that we don’t have to start from the very beginning. We already have Chinese companies established in Greece, like Cosco in the major Greek and Mediterranean Port of Piraeus. And, I have to admit that during difficult times, the Cosco investment was a valuable relief for Greece, keeping employment and job security when everything else was collapsing. So, now Cosco is expanding in Piraeus… We are also in the process of discussing plans for building a large airport hub from China to Europe and Northern Africa, based on the Greek island of Creta; or planning a privatization for our modern Venizelos airport in Athens, one of the most profitable? commercial airports in our part of the world. We find advanced Chinese interest about that airport as well. Indeed things have already taken place between our countries. There are two memoranda of strategic cooperation signed up since 2006. Some of them opened new grounds and came to fruition. In other aspects, however, things have stagnated, mainly due to the deep crisis Greece found itself in, since 2009. And this brings us to the last thing I would like to focus upon. Contrary to what was the case just a year ago, everybody is now recognizing Greece’s success regarding the implementation of its Fiscal Consolidation program, believe me a very difficult and painful program. Greece is also praised by European authorities and the international press for its resolve to push for bold structural reforms. So we are now more than half the way through to make a real comeback, a way more than half through! We have already achieved the largest debt restructuring in History, without default! We have already concluded more than two-thirds of the most ambitious fiscal consolidation plan ever implemented, bringing down our deficit by more than 10 percentage points of GDP in three years; eliminating completely our primary deficit; covering three-quarters of our gap of competitiveness, while losing- please listen to this, you will realize how painful this is- 20 to 25% of our GDP in 4 years! These are important records on all counts; records of achievement; but also records of painful transformation of the entire country. So, you see Greece is transforming. It is changing the image abroad. And it is changing in essence at home. So, whatever stagnated in the past, can gain new momentum. And whatever succeeded in the most difficult circumstances in the recent years, can definitely succeed even more in the years to come. With this opportunity, I want to thank you today on behalf of all Greeks! During our most difficult moments in the last three years, China stood on our side. In a way that was very discrete, very steady and very comforting for us. With your public statements you supported Europe; you supported Greece’s efforts to stay in the Euro! We felt it back home. And we won’t forget it. The “Greek comeback” is already been reflected in the international markets, where if you look at the spreads– the gauge for country risk – have receded by about two-thirds of their record levels a year ago. Things are happening indeed! Greece is changing spectacularly, and Greek-Chinese relations have already made “inroads” that we are now ready to expand. Since I know how much you value sincerity and since this is exactly what we value the most, I want to tell you this: I wouldn’t be here, if we hadn’t turned in Greece our ship around. I wouldn’t be here, if we hadn’t succeeded in making a “comeback”. But I am here, standing in front of you, because I can look at you straight in the eyes and tell you that, whatever has already worked in our relations so far, we can now speed it up, expand it, built on it. Whatever has not worked, we can fix it and we can make it happen. Our biggest political capital right now is the credibility we have managed to regain as a country, in a very short period of time. We have built our credibility in Europe, and – believe me again- it wasn’t easy. We are now expanding our credibility beyond Europe. To sum it up, let me give a few key-words: –“Honor”! Chinese and Greeks perfectly understand what it means. It is a basic trait, characteristic, in both our Histories. –“Virtue”! Chinese and Greek certainly understand it. It is a key concept in both our Cultures. –Greece emerging as a “Gateway” between China and Europe. It is a prospect very significant for both of us. — Building together this “Cultural bridge” I talked before about between East and West! It can have a tremendous impact world-wide. And we can make it happen. Finally: Turning Greece from a “scapegoat of Europe” to a major success story, has a symbolism much larger than Greece. It is a message that Europe can solve its problems and return to growth as well. The “Greek comeback” will also symbolize a “European comeback”. To make a long story short, we want China to be a part of this success story. Thank you very much Ερώτηση: You talked about structural reform and fiscal consolidation. These measures have played an important role in working out of the crisis and were also serve long term growth. My question is, going forward are you going to bring measures to stimulate short-term growth? And if there is any, how will you prevent conflict between the short-term measures and long term fiscal consolidation measures? Α. Σαμαράς: Thank you for the question. Look, austerity measures and tight fiscal policy were necessary, because our debt had expanded in an incredible manner. If you do not want to be depended on foreign creditors and if you want to have the possibility of standing on your own feet, you have to go through fiscal changes, in order to get rid of the huge debt problem. Our debt problem was so big that it had created spillover effects all over Europe. And this is what had created this unbelievable concept of the Grexit. We had to fight this. It was a national bet we had to win. And I can really tell you we are winning it, because if you see simply the market and the spreads and the fact that “Fitch”, for instance, gave us back the B- position from the last one we used to be, which was basically called “junk bonds”, one can realize that the difference is there today. On the other hand, we have a real problem and this is called unemployment. Unemployment has reached the incredible level of 27% overall. They have huge problems in France, with 10,3%. We have 60% unemployment among the youth over 15 years old, 60%! This is reaching a level of unbelievable social pain and dramatic problems in the area of social cohesion. So, we have to face this. How do you face it? Through the loans you got, through the funds, which are basically structural funds you can get from the Europeans, as we did, through investments that we are asking for, through privatizations we are doing, you can form what you call a shorten policy also. And you can allow money to circulate in a dehydrated economy, where starting from May up to the end of October I believe there is going to be enough rain in this dehydrated economy also from tourism, where this year we are hopefully going to break the record of 17 million people coming to Greece. I would love to make it 18 million with the Chinese next year. But what is important is that we are planning in a manner, so that we can have also a specific strategy for the problem of unemployment, which has been caused by what you’ve called “extreme austerity”. So, on the one hand yes, fiscal consolidation was absolutely necessary, on the other hand, yes, we need fiscal stimulus, which can come through those measures I’ ve just mentioned. And I think that this balance, I think that this absolutely need of the harmony, which is another well known word both for Chinese and Greeks, is something that you have to follow. It has to be harmonious. It cannot be overextended towards the A or the B part of it. It has to be balanced and this is what we are trying to do. Ερώτηση: Your Excellency, good morning. I’m … from the Institute for European Studies and someone that has immense interest in Greece and I benefited a lot from your excellent presentation this morning. (..) China and Greece established a comprehensive, strategic partnership in 2006, but cooperation in the various areas is still imbalanced, you‘ve mentioned on many times that there are many ways to increase our cooperation and advance cooperation in various areas. My question is what preferential policies or good policies that you have to attract Chinese investment? Α. Σαμαράς: Strategic relation is, I believe, a relation that is not tactical and is not short-term. A relation which is strategic is one which is based on long-term and stable consideration. It cannot be time constrained. You cannot ask someone to help you just because you are in danger now and then forget about him after the danger is over. What I believe is important is that we have a strategic relationship in terms of the deep realization that the two countries can have sustained long-term synergies in the very long run, little by little. You know I don’t want to create the impression that one can be so optimistic and dream things that cannot happen. I much more believe in the steady dreams of what your new President has talked about. It’ s a dream that is tangible and the things we are talking about for attracting, for instance, Chinese investments in Greece is something tangible. We have specific areas we are going to have privatization procedures, open bidding processes where the Chinese will participate. They have already come to Greece many times, some of them I had the pleasure and honor to see them in my office. We will be there for a long time. We want to expand, we want to create job opportunities. The word “jobs” is the number one word that comes to my mind every morning when I see this unemployment level. And I know that China can really help. You are expanding all over the world. We are at the South-eastern part of Europe, we are at the tip of Europe, we are the borders of Europe. In an area where all the large commercial routes are starting to go to Asia. And geopolitically and geostrategically we are there. It’ s obvious if you open the map, it’ s obvious. And it’ s again even more obvious if you open a History book, that we can have this deep relationship together, which will be based, however, on a strategic concept of cooperation, which by definition, I repeat, is not short-term. And what I’ m trying to say, what I’ m trying to convey to everyone is that over and above my government or your government this is History. I told the CCTV before, this morning, that we are not living in a cold era any more, Cold War era any more. We are not living even in a post-Cold War era any more. We are living in a new era. Everything has changed. We have jettisoned the past. And we are investing in the future. And if the two countries with the largest, most important world renowned, well known, unbelievable History do not merge their forces to create such synergies, if we do not do it, nobody else can do it. And we can do it, because of our “common DNA”, which is written in our History in a long-term fashion that others cannot follow. We have always followed it».

As already intimated to stock Exchanges vide letter no CIL:XI(D):4157/4156:2022 dated 26.10.2022, the company has fixed Wednesday, 16th Nov’ 2022 as the “Record Date” for the purpose of declaration of 1st Interim Dividend on equity shares for the Financial year 2022-23. The date of payment/despatch of “1st Interim Dividend” shall be by 6th Dec’ 2022.” As per the data available on BSE, the ex-dividend is falling on 15 November 2022. For the fiscal year that concluded in March 2022, or FY22, Coal India announced a 170.00 per cent equity dividend, or Rs. 17 per share. This yields a dividend of 6.70 per cent at the current share price of Rs 253.40. Coal India reported a 106 per cent year-on-year (YoY) gain in its Q2 profit at Rs 6,044 crore. In the same quarter a year ago, the PAT was at Rs 2,933 crore. The company’s consolidated revenue jumped 28.1 per cent YoY to Rs 29,838 crore during the quarter and its consolidated EBITDA stood at Rs 7,280 crore.

In the previous financial year (FY), the company declared a dividend of Rs 17 per share, resulting in a dividend yield of over 6 per cent as per the current stock price. What Should Investors Do? The research analysts of the broking firm ICICI Securities said “We maintain our BUY rating with DCF-based target price of Rs 294 on CIL, which is currently trading at 6.6x P/E and 3.1x EV/EBITDA on FY24E basis with 35.2 per cent RoE. It has announced high 1st interim dividend of Rs15/sh (we expect two more payouts in FY23). We believe dividend yield will be 9-10 per cent at CMP.” The research analysts of the broking firm Motilal Oswal said “Consequently, we again raise our FY23 EBITDA/PAT estimate by 22 per cent/27 per cent after a 23 per cent bump up in 1Q. We also raise our FY24 EBITDA/PAT estimates by 6 per cent/3 per cent, respectively, and our TP to INR 325 (up from 265), valuing the stock at 4x FY23 EV/EBTIDA. We reiterate our Buy rating on the stock and COAL continues to be our top pick in the metals sector. The stock trades at an inexpensive valuation of 3x/4.8x our FY23/24 EV/EBTIDA. On P/B, the stock trades at 2.6x/2.2x on FY23/24 estimates. The company has declared an interim dividend of INR 15 and we estimate DPS of INR 26.7 for FY23.” The shares of Coal India closed on Friday at Rs 253.40 apiece, down by 0.08% from the previous close of Rs 253.60. The stock had touched a 52-week-high of Rs 263.40 on (09-November-2022) and a 52-week-low of Rs 139.15 on (20-December-2021). The target price set by the above brokerage companies would be a new 1-year high for the stock if achieved.

PHOENIX, Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Phoenix cosmetic dentist, Dr. Han Christy, now offers complimentary second opinions for patients needing dental or orthodontic treatments. This special runs throughout the month of September and can help patients better understand their options and choose treatments that promote rather than interfere with their smile health. Seeking a second opinion can be especially helpful for patients who have put off dental treatment for years or for those who are in need of complicated or extensive treatment. Patients may not need second opinions before every dental filling or minor dental concern, but getting a second opinion can be particularly important before patients undergo major treatments or procedures, including: - Treatment for oral cancer - Expensive, invasive, or complex procedures - Orthodontic treatments such as early orthodontics and braces - Correction of previously performed dental treatments or restorations - Dental surgery or extractions Patients may also seek second opinions if they do not have a good rapport with their dentist or feel that their dentist is not adequately qualified to treat the specific issue. While a patient's current dentist will usually have greater familiarity with the patient's needs, a second opinion can bring a fresh outlook and other options that may not have been considered. Second opinions are also a great way to get a fresh look at a problem or get a new perspective on a condition or solution. Dr. Christy is committed to "putting the patients' needs first" and works with each patient to ensure they develop the most appropriate treatment plan for their needs and goals. He offers extensive dental treatment options that include orthodontics, preventative care, periodontal treatments, restorations, dentures, dental bridges, and other common dental treatments and procedures. By working closely with patients, he can better understand their concerns and needs and make recommendations that are fully customized for their goals. Visit http://www.christydentalcare.com for more information. About Dr. Han Christy, Expert in Orthodontics Phoenix Dr. Christy is a top Phoenix dentist. A graduate of Arizona State University, Dr. Christy continued his education at the University of the Pacific in San Francisco and completed advanced orthodontic training through Progressive Orthodontics.

Healdsburg Hospital is committed to serve the healthcare needs of our patients with quality, compassionate care and responsible, innovative use of resources. When we talk about “exceeding patient expectations,” it’s not just a clever marketing line. It’s a meaningful description of the services we offer our patients. It’s that focus that has earned us numerous awards, such as the Avatar Award for exceptional patient care and the Association of California Healthcare Districts (ACHD) Award in recognition of outstanding contributions to community health and wellbeing. These are exciting times for our hospital as we have joined the Providence health care network. Our entire team of physicians, nurses, and support staff is united in our goal of providing outstanding care for you and your family. You can still see the place where Healdsburg Hospital began in 1905. It was in the right wing of the home of Dr. J. Walter Seawall at 211 North Street, now the Camellia Inn. It was called Healdsburg General Hospital, and a doctor’s visit cost $2. Dr. Seawall and his partner, Dr. Frank E. Sohler, were hard-working, dedicated, and innovative physicians who insisted on the best equipment and latest medical technology for their hospital. This, along with the sunshine and fresh air, attracted first-rate staff to the hospital. Not much has changed since then, though the hospital has moved locations several times, and a doctor’s visit costs a bit more than $2. HDH still provides quality, compassionate care, and the residents of northern Sonoma County appreciate the high-quality healthcare they receive from dedicated professionals who live and work in their local communities. As the town of Healdsburg grew, the community was committed to keeping HDH as its flagship hospital for northern Sonoma County. Then in 2002, the North Sonoma County Healthcare District was formed, which revived the over 100-year-old hospital, officially renaming it Healdsburg Hospital. Dr. Seawell Establishes Care Dr. J. Walter Seawell operated a small private hospital at 211 North Street. It eventually became what is now Healdsburg Hospital. He served as the city’s public health officer until his death in 1937, at age 58. Hospital Founded Healdsburg has had a hospital since 1908, when Dr. J.W. Seawell opened a five-room sanitarium in his home office on North Street, the current home of the Camellia Inn, a bed-and-breakfast establishment. Moved to new location Seawell moved his sanitarium to the T. S. Merchant building at the corner of Lincoln and Johnson Streets in 1920, combining it with another facility run by Dr. Frank E. Sohler. Seawell and Sohler were helped by Nercilla Ames Harlan Jones, a former Army nurse, and her husband Charles Jones, a former Army medic. Fire Destroys Hospital The Jones’ operated Healdsburg General Hospital until 1929, when it was severely damaged by a fire. All seven of the current patients were evacuated to a nearby home. The community reacted quickly. Ira H. Rosenberg offered the old Rosenberg residence at East and North Streets (site of the current Jordan Oil and Gas Company building) as a temporary hospital. New Larger Hospital Opens A community fund-raising drive netted $50,000 from 45 citizens in just 10 days for a new facility, at the same location, Lincoln and Johnson Streets. The building was complete in October, 1929. The one-story, concrete, fireproof building was considered state-of-the-art. It had 10 private rooms, two-bed wards, a room signaling system, a surgery, a delivery room, nursery, offices, solarium, kitchen and dining rooms, and an emergency ambulance entrance. It was one of the first hospitals of its size to be inspected and recognized by the American College of Surgeons. Nercilla Jones was its director for many years.The hospital capacity expanded from 14 to 25 patients, and served the ill from as far away as Annapolis and Boonville. Hospital Sold The original 45 donors and their heirs sold the hospital to Chanco Medical and Electronic Enterprises in 1968. Chanco started to look for a new location for the overcrowded and outdated facility, then considered scrapping the expansion. Search for New Site Administrator Duane Kenward and Nurse Ramona DeBenedetti (like Nercilla Jones before her) helped rally support for the new hospital at new location. Administrator Duane Kenward and Nurse Ramona DeBenedetti (like Nercilla Jones before her) helped rally support for the new project. The work began in 1969 on four acres of land on University Street Current Site Opens The hospital held a grand opening in its present location in January, 1972. The old facility was sold and converted to offices for Duff Chiropractic. At the time, the hospital was once again considered to be the best of its type. With 52 beds and plans for up to 150 more, the hospital had two surgeries, high-tech therapeutic and diagnostic equipment, laboratories, a pharmacy, intensive care and maternity units, kitchen and dining, an emergency department, and much more. Ownership Changes The new hospital went through a series of owners over the next two decades. Chanco merged with American Medical Enterprises to become American Medical International. AMI built new doctor’s offices nearby, and expanded the hospital’s technological capabilities. In 1988, AMI helped 15 of its hospitals form an employee-owned firm, EPIC, which was eventually acquired by Health Trust in 1993. In 1995, healthcare giant Columbia/HCA acquired the hospital. Threatened Closure Columbia/HCA was on a rapid growth pattern, and overextended itself. In March 1998, Columbia/HCA officials announced that, unless a buyer was found for the hospital, it would close in 90 days. At that time, although the hospital served patients from throughout the north county, it was still primarily considered to be a Healdsburg institution. Dan Rose, a Healdsburg physician nearing retirement, decided not to let the hospital close. A number of groups were formed to investigate buying the hospital from Columbia/HCA, but Rose’s group got the blessing to negotiate exclusively with Columbia/HCA. The community raised $500,000 by the end of October, 1998, and the purchase was completed the following month, using the city of Healdsburg’s tax-exempt bond capability. A new Chief Executive Officer, Ed Bland, was hired. Struggles Continue Nuestro Hospital, as the new entity was called, struggled to find its focus in a rapidly-shifting healthcare environment. In July 2000, Bland announced that the hospital was in good shape. He was wrong. An accounting error surfaced a few weeks later, and Bland reported that the hospital instead would finish the year $2 million in debt. The alarms kept going off. Bland and Rose (Chairman of the Nuestro board) looked at every option – they discussed mergers or buyouts with Memorial and Sutter Hospitals, and they looked at whether to close various departments. Drastic Steps Required Nuestro took drastic steps in March 2001, closing the maternity ward, the intensive care unit, and two-thirds of the beds. That move helped cut costs, but had an unanticipated consequence. As doctors sent their intensive care patients elsewhere, they took other procedures as well, and the hospital continued to lose money. Hospital District Formed That spring, the hospital announced a “make or break” strategy, a plan to form a public hospital district and ask voters to tax themselves to help keep the hospital open. The planned district was drawn widely, including the communities of Cloverdale, Geyserville, Healdsburg, and Windsor. In November 2001, the new district was approved by more than 80 percent of the voters. Rose said that a lot of hard work is still ahead. “This buys us time while structural changes in health care are put in place,” he said. District Buys Hospital The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors appointed the five-member North Sonoma County Hospital District board in January 2002, and the district proceeded to borrow $2.5 million from the county to buy the hospital from Nuestro through eminent domain. On the Brink In early 2003, the hospital teetered on the brink once again. “If we maintain business as usual, we’ll be going out of business in mid-March,” said Chief Financial Officer Dan Hull in February of that year. Hospital leaders developed a “12-Step Turnaround Plan.” The plan called for a series of 12 initiatives, which include increasing surgical services, cost-cutting, asking the taxpayers for help, and securing $3 million in emergency financing, through fundraising and a loan from the county. “This started out as a business plan … now we’re calling it a turnaround plan,” said Iversen. Voters Increase Funding A plan to ask voters to increase the parcel tax from $85 to $125 in November 2003 was postponed, and the district eventually settled on $150 as the new parcel tax figure. The voters approved the increase as part of the April 13, 2004 ballot Measure. Joint Powers Agreement The Northern California Healthcare Authority Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) was formed in 2007 to enhance the collaboration between health care providers in the district. New MRI Received a new mobile Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine granted from the Kalmanovitz Foundation that was coordinated by Healthcare Foundation Northern Sonoma County. Center for Women’s Health Dr. Laura Kimbro opens the Center for Women’s Health in Windsor offering Specialized Gynecology to her patients in Windsor. Kincade Fire The Kincade fire burned 10,000 acres and forced the Hospital to close for 24 days and evacuate 22 patients. - Rachel Reader Executive Director of Operations, Healdsburg and Petaluma Valley Hospital - Bhari Naotunne Chief Financial Officer - Kristina Holloway Human Resources Leader - Montserrat Archila Mission Integration Leader - Rajesh Ranadive, MD Chief Medical Officer - Michael Bollinger, MD Chief of Surgery - Joseph Tito, MD Chief of Staff - Roberta Kaemmerling, MSN, RN Director of Nursing The Strategic Planning Committee (SPC), is a standing committee of the Board of Directors as constituted in the District Bylaws.

Pittsfield, MA (PRWEB) August 05, 2013 -- United States patent number 8,494,936 issued to Mory Brenner recently based on programming methods using artificial intelligence to perform decision making tasks. While working examples of the patented process to this point involve guiding people with financial trouble to learn the best of ten options to address their unsecured debt, the patented methods could apply to fields of medical diagnosis, other areas of finance or even more industries. The patent references "the method can be applied to decision making in fields other than personal finance and debt assistance, including: insurance coverage selection, health care treatment management, business capital management, travel transportation and accommodation booking, real estate renovation and improvement planning, and general purchasing strategy and budgeting, for items that are both small (e.g., grocery) and large (e.g., automobiles and homes)." Before his ten years practicing as a debt and bankruptcy attorney, with an emphasis on alternatives to bankruptcy, Brenner spent over three years working on an artificial intelligence program to compose orchestrate and play classical music without any human intervention while an undergraduate at Carnegie Mellon University. For two of those years he worked very closely with Herbert Simon as his faculty adviser on the project. Simon won the Nobel Prize in 1978 for his work using artificial intelligence in the field of economics and a National Medal Of Science in 1986 amongst many other honors and awards. Most experts consider Simon one of the founding fathers of the concept of artificial intelligence. The new patented artificial intelligence decision making methods stand apart from previous systems in many ways. Most existing artificial intelligence systems merely rank choices in order returning the winner to the user. The new patented method provides additional analysis for better outcomes. First the choices go through a comparative evaluation. For example, rather than reporting solution A ranked highest and stopping there, the program ranks all solutions against each other comparatively with a result that while some choices may look better than another, they stand close enough that the user should also examine them as alternative options. The system also conducts a qualitative analysis to determine the independent value of the selections. This allows the user to understand the importance of the output. In some cases the results from the software might represent the perfect answer. In other cases the program identifies the best outcome, but knows enough to alert the consumer that the choice merely represents the best out of a group of bad options where all rank as unacceptable. To bolster its power, the programming makes use of not only the user's input, but also public information. To start with, the system verifies the user information and conducts preliminary analysis to make sure they belong using the program. As bad computer answers with programs like these most often come from bad user data, the system looks at the data itself for indications of user data entry error or users not understanding how to address the questions. The version of the program to evaluate unsecured debt situations, to illustrate the review of the appropriateness of using the system, will alert a consumer when it determines they stand at risk for a foreclosure and advise that they deal with the foreclosure problem rather than their credit card debt. Incorporation of public data to aid the system might include public laws, statistics or other facts. External or internal propriety data may be used for verification as well. Use of additional data allows for more personalized results. In the medical diagnostics field existing conditions or allergies mean a completely different diagnosis. In financial cases the best answer in one state may not be allowed in another. Or a perfect solution of a chapter 13 bankruptcy could be voided by a previous chapter 7 filing. To think of the whole concept in a basic way, which also differentiates it from prior artificial intelligence programs, the new patented method operates as an expert. Some artificial intelligence programs allow the user to make decisions they already know how to make, but faster and in greater volumes, yet only with the expertize that they bring to the table in the first place. This new system acts as the expert, with a purpose of potentially suggesting options that the user never knew existed using methods well beyond their comprehension. Be on the lookout for a public debt analysis system offered to the public soon.

Minecraft Finally Gets Private Servers On Ps4 Minecraft on PlayStation 4 has finally caught up with the other versions in terms of functionality, receiving support for private servers. Minecraft has been available on PlayStation 4 for over six years. Sony console users receive updates at the same time as other platforms and can play together. However, until now, so-called Servers and Realms have not been available on PS4, which enable users to create their own servers. Now this has finally changed. Support for these features on PS4 has been added in the latest update. This enables users of this console to create private servers and play on those set up by other players. This is a key change as private servers are often the place where the most interesting things in Minecraft happen. This is where we can find most of communitys creativity. It is worth explaining here that classic Servers are set up by the players themselves. Realms, on the other hand, are created by developers, and we only gain control over them for a fee. At the same time, Realms Plus subscription service was made available on PS4 . For $7.99 per month, we receive immediate access to the prepared server for up to ten players and a catalogue of over 100 packs with additional content from the shop, which is regularly enriched with new elements.

Baclofen, a French Exception, Seriously Harms Alcohol Use Disorder Patients Without Benefit To the Editor: Dr Andrade’s analysis of the Bacloville trial in a recent Clinical and Practical Psychopharmacology column, in which he concluded that “individualized treatment with high-dose baclofen (30-300 mg/d) may be a useful second-line approach in heavy drinkers” and that “baclofen may be particularly useful in patients with liver disease,” deserves comment.1 First, Andrade failed to recall that the first pivotal trial of baclofen, ALPADIR (NCT01738282; 320 patients, as with Bacloville), was negative (see Braillon et al2). Second, Dr Andrade should have warned readers that Bacloville’s results are most questionable, lacking robustness. Although he cited us,3 he overlooked the evidence we provided indicating that the Bacloville article4 was published without acknowledging major changes to the initial protocol, affecting the primary outcome. Coincidentally (although as skeptics, we do not believe in coincidence), the initial statistical team was changed when data were sold to the French pharmaceutical company applying for the marketing authorization in France. As Ronald H. Coase warned, “If you torture the data long enough, it will confess.”
In 1957 Monkspark Garage of Shirley, Solihull just outside Birmingham started to manufacture 2 and 4 seater fibre glass body shells known as Kenmar Mk I suitable for fitting to Ford Anglia and Ford Prefect chassis respectively. Two years later a Mk II body was manufactured and marketed as the Shirley Mk II which cost just £89 with an additional £35 for the optional hard top. The main body is a one piece molding with a reinforcing tubular framework and welded mounting points and the bonnet could be front or rear hinged to taste. The shell for this particular vehicle was purchased in January 1997 and fitted to a 1949 Ford Anglia chassis and was ready to run in April 1998. This car has several period improvements including a boxed chassis, fluid cushion suspension, Aquaplane cylinder head, twin carburetors and an additional fuel pump along with 12 volt electrics. Of the 50 shells thought to have been built only 4 Shirley Mk II’s are thought to remain.
Ageing is a natural part of life. However, it also becomes increasingly difficult to maintain the same lifestyle the patient could do when they were younger with age. Their mobility starts getting restricted, joints inflamed, and conditions like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s become apparent. The number of Americans who will be 65 or older will double over the next 40 years, hitting almost 80 million. Therefore, the healthcare sector needs to respond to this growing population of senior citizens. One way to take care of baby boomers is to allow nurses to be at the forefront of providing care. As a nurse, you have the distinguished skills and training to take care of all your patients. To be sure you’re handling older patients with the utmost care and safety, here’s what you need to do: Be up to the task Caring for an older patient is different from providing the same level of attention to a younger patient. The conditions you’re dealing with in senior citizens may already be in their advanced stages, which makes them susceptible to multiple treatments. Older patients are also hard of hearing and may need you to repeat or give them verbal cues so they can comprehend what you’re saying. Some may also have numerous health conditions at once, which need attention. This is why you must possess the skills to make you suitable for taking care of them. An extremely robust degree like an adult gerontology nurse practitioner program prepares you for your role as a specialist. You’re not only more in tune with your patients. Your specialisations inform you of what to expect. Becoming a specialist allows you to diagnose, test, treat and examine the patient for primary diseases. Unless surgery is needed or you need a physician’s second opinion, you can care for patients according to your jurisdiction. Even with a supportive walking stick, an older patient may find it difficult to walk. If the patient has swollen feet and has extremely restrictive mobility, you cannot expect them to make it to their appointment without hurting themselves. You must know how much your patients can handle when they appear for an appointment. Ensure you have wheelchairs and an attending nurse on standby who can easily maneuver the patient on the vehicle. It would help if you also tried using an examination office closer to the entrance to prevent the senior person from tiring themselves in an attempt to reach you. If the older patient cannot move and is restricted to their bed, inform their caretaker or attending nurse to help them set up a virtual appointment. Patients with no internet connection and get confined to the bed need to get visited by you and have a home-based appointment. Provide detailed instructions Generally, a primary care session takes no more than a few minutes. However, when you have elderly patients to look after, you should let a routine checkup extend for longer. Older patients need time. You cannot rush them through a physical evaluation which can cause them an injury or stress them out. When discussing their health, use concise sentences, explain slowly, and repeat if you have to. Their prescriptions should have complete forms and the specific guidelines they need, don’t assume they’ll understand abbreviations. While sending reminders, ensure the patient receives them if they’re dependent on a caretaker, email details to them. Patients who wear smartwatches can get a mobile SMS since the watches are connected to their phones, reminding them about follow-ups. Aftercare, especially when coming home from surgery and wound cleaning, if needed, advise the patient to come to the hospital or make arrangements to pay them a visit to do it for them. The caretaker also needs to be in the loop about patient care. Walk them through their dietary needs, teach them essential physical therapy to keep their circulation going around stagnant areas like the legs, and walk them through patient medication and crushing pills for easier consumption. Learn effective communication Communication is a multifaceted process. It involves your body language, verbatim, hand gestures, and tone. Active listening is also a part of your communication. When a patient comes to you, greet them warmly and pleasantly and let them adjust to the environment slightly before you begin. Patients wearing hearing aids need you to speak to them at a certain level. If you shout or yell, it can injure their eardrum. Test different ranges with a tuning fork until you find the decibel that suits them. While performing routine checkups, you can use hand gestures to indicate what you mean, like showing them what to do. Your physical movements may make it easier for the patient to follow. Some older people have bad eyesight, so you may need to use your words, guide them by hand or tell them what to do while holding their hand. Those who cannot hear and have no hearing aid need nonverbal cues or assistance proficient in sign language. Some senior citizens may not be native speakers. If you have a nurse who can help you translate, with the patient’s consent, involve them in the checkup. An alternative is using an app that listens to spoken statements and translates them. Patients with conditions like dementia may not comprehend you or communicate with you. In these cases, you need the caretaker present to assist you. It’s understandable as a nurse, that you may not always have the energy or feel burnout after dealing with numerous patients at a time. However, you still need to control your emotions and continue showing empathy to all older patients. This is a hard time for many senior folks. They have a degree of awareness that their health is not what it used to be. Episodes, strokes, and seizures are both painful and keep them on edge since the thought of dealing with another intense attack is not pleasant. Your empathy, compassion, and understanding can make this vulnerable time easier for them. Help your patients with their dressing gowns, and if they accidentally get exposed, cover them up. Always offer them privacy and never start your examination until the curtains or the door is closed and a blanket is nearby. Let your patent consent to your proceeding, and take your time while checking. Learn to pay attention to their complaints and follow up by inspecting the area. If your older patient cannot keep up with the treatment, provide them coping mechanisms like stress balls, water, and ice packs to ease the pain. Older patients need your gentle hand when it comes to healthcare. As a nurse, it’s your duty and responsibility to provide them with the best care you offer. By working on your skills, you can prepare yourself to deal with conditions no matter how hazardous they are. Ensure patients have no trouble coming to the hospital or getting a checkup at home if they can’t see you in person. Your communication can take you a long way. Get into the habit of aligning yourself with older patients’ needs by speaking to them in a way they can comprehend. Your instructions on paper need details. This makes it easier for them to remember what they have to do. Finally, remember that older patients can be very delicate, and your empathy makes a difference for them. A kind word always goes a long way. Adam Mulligan did his degree in psychology at the University of Hertfordshire. He is interested in mental health, wellness, and lifestyle.
