In this article we will explain the 3 steps required to properly cancel a China work permit in accordance with the law.
Step #1: Required Documents
- A copy of the original (electronic/paper) Foreign Worker Permit Cancellation Application Form. After accessing http://fuwu.most.gov.cn/ and completing the online form, the applicant (the employer) must print it out, sign it, stamp it with the employer’s official seal or the official seal of the department authorized by the employer, and upload it to the website.
- An original (electronic/paper) copy of the certification of the terminated employment relationship, the terminated contract, or other documents demonstrating the reasons for the cancellation. Before being submitted, the termination certificate must be signed by both parties. If the applicant left their job on their own and their employer was unable to contact them, the employer must submit a letter of cancellation that explains the details and circumstances.
- An original (electronic/card) copy of the foreign national’s work permit, as well as valid foreign expert certificate and foreign employment certificate (if applicable).
Step #2: Upload Document(s)
All original documents and Mandarin translations should be uploaded (in original color) to the service system for foreigners working in China at http://fuwu.most.gov.cn/.
Please keep in mind that all non-Mandarin certification documents must be accompanied by Mandarin translations and stamped with the official seal of the employer (excluding passport or international travel documents). If there is a significant difference between the Mandarin translation and the original, the authorizing or decision-making institution may request that the employer submit a corrected version.
Step #3: Bring all original materials (not photocopies) to the corresponding window
Following successful online verification, the employer must schedule an appointment on the system and bring his appointment voucher, as well as all original application materials stated earlier to the appropriate venue for processing.
The only exception to this rule is that high-level foreign talent (class A) does not need to schedule an appointment and can bring all materials directly to the site for handling.
Important things to keep in mind:
- Online Verification Period: Three working days (one working day for Class A Foreign Talent)
- Processing time: 3 business days.
- No Charge.
- If the foreign national work permit is not extended at the end of its current validity period, it will be automatically cancelled.
- If the work permit is legally cancelled, withdrawn, or revoked, the issuing institution must cancel it.
- If the applicant dies, loses civil capacity, terminates their contract prematurely, or terminates the employment relationship, the employer must apply to the decision-making institution for cancellation within ten working days of the event.
- If the employer is otherwise unable to perform this function, the applicant may request that the work permit be revoked by the decision-making institution.
- If the foreigner leaves their position without permission and is out of touch for more than 15 days, the employer has the right to publicize a notice of the foreigners unauthorized leave in a newspaper above municipal level for ten days.
- If no contact has been established by the end of this publicity period, and no objection has been raised by the foreigner themselves, the employer may submit application for the cancellation of the work permit on the service system for foreigners working in China, and upload the Cancellation Application Form (stamped with official seal, exempted from the foreigner’s signature), the Employment Termination Certificate (stamped with official seal, exempted from the foreigner’s signature), the original copy of the newspaper (where the post and the newspaper heading show the time of publication and the newspaper level), a letter of description (including basic information for the foreign personnel, information regarding the unauthorized departure, stating that the content is true and the employer will bear all responsibilities for any subsequent problems, , and affixing the official seal and the signature of the legal representative) and other materials to cancel the work permit.
- The company name, passport, work permit number and other background information must be indicated in the advertisement in the newspaper.
- If the employer is terminated in accordance with the law, the Cancellation Application Form of the Foreigner’s Work Permit doesn’t need to be stamped with the employer’s official seal, and the applicant must then provide relevant materials (such as the employer’s cancellation certificate issued by relevant market regulator) demonstrating that the employer is terminated in accordance with the law and thus cannot apply for the cancellation of the work permit, a letter describing work permit cancellation and his/her Foreigner’s Work Permit.
- If the foreign national’s work permit has been cancelled, the decision-making institution will issue a cancellation certificate upon application.
- If the system automatically cancels the expired work permit, the decision maker will not issue the cancellation certificate.
- If there are salary commitments involved during the work permit application, then, when cancelling the Foreigner’s Work Permit, the salary commitment letter, a personal income tax record consistent with the commitment (originally: Tax Payment Certificate), and a screen capture document (with official seal) of the applicant’s detailed personal withholding statement obtained from the Natural Person E-Tax Bureau (https://etax.chinatax.gov.cn/). If the applicant is unable to submit them, this dishonest behavior must be noted.

You typically grow an affiliate program by optimizing existing partnerships or recruiting new partners. The most successful programs focus on both to maximize new opportunities.
Many brands manually track their partnership recruitment progress, making it challenging to scale. Old-school spreadsheet tracking creates information silos between team members and leaves the potential for human error.
For example, multiple team members might reach out to the same prospect with two different offers. It’s also possible that team members forget when they last communicated with a prospect or what they had agreed upon. These errors lead to an awkward interaction with the partner—and can leave them feeling undervalued.
That’s why brands rely on Prospects by impact.com, a tool that provides a unified system of record to collaborate and recruit partners at scale using workflow automation.
Why Prospects helps bolster recruitment efforts
The impact.com Prospects functionality brings powerful CRM functionality from Mediarails directly into the impact.com partnership management platform. It gives you a real-time centralized location for managing and tracking your recruitment efforts. This eliminates the need to toggle between the platform, spreadsheets, emails, hand-written notes, and other resources.
Prospects gives you complete visibility into your recruitment funnel, making it easier to identify which opportunities need your attention. Prospects effectively eliminates information silos by ensuring all users have access to the same up-to-date information.
Lastly, Prospects helps you save time through workflow efficiencies, such as the ability to send emails to prospects in bulk.
How to leverage Prospects on the impact.com platform
You can find new partners you’re interested in working with inside the Discover Marketplace. When you find a partner that could be a good fit, you’ll click on the checkmark in the partner tile (see screenshot below) to add them to the prospecting workflow.
The Prospects screen helps you track each prospect’s position within the recruitment funnel. Suppose you have more than one person in charge of recruitment. In that case, you can easily assign prospects to specific team members—helping to eliminate missed opportunities.
An activity log acts as a CRM by helping you keep track of:
- Internal notes
- Email sends
- Assigned partner groups
- Contract stage changes, and more.
You’ll record your interaction history within the platform to save time and help keep you on track with conversations. Plus, you can ensure prospects feel valued by not having to ask them to repeat information.
A revamped slide-out gives you many helpful data points to evaluate your prospective partnership opportunities faster. You can see partner web and social properties, size, and audience insights. Plus, get details about relevant categories and promotional areas.
When you’re ready to reach out, you can send the prospect an email or proposal. The prospect will automatically move into the appropriate recruitment funnel stage. You can use the multi-select on the prospects screen to send bulk emails if you have many opportunities to communicate with.
A look ahead: Partner CRM
Prospects currently supports partner relationship management during the recruitment phase. But you also need to manage your relationships with existing partners. That’s why in the coming year, the Partners screen will get a massive refresh to include many impactful CRM features from Prospect—such as the activity log and the ability to categorize partners into stages. Prospects, together with the Partner CRM, will give you end-to-end CRM capabilities, helping you more effectively manage relationships with prospective and existing partners.
Drive revenue growth through new partnerships
Partner recruitment is critical if you want to grow your partnerships. With impact.com’s Prospects functionality, you can manage and track recruitment efforts at scale, helping you convert prospects into active partners. This feature is available to every brand on the impact.com platform.

Let me give you some examples.
My husband recently bought himself a new exhaust for his car. (This in itself is an example of him not feeling bad about putting his interests as a priority. His car is his hobby and he was happy to spend a not insignificant amount of money on it. I on the other hand have not felt able to spend an equal amount of money on the Leonie Dawson Academy that I have been thinking about joining for months because it feels self-indulgent, not a priority, even though it could potentially benefit the whole family.) When the exhaust arrived he decided he would spend a Saturday morning fitting it. He didn't ask me if that was ok, if I minded looking after the boys while he did it (I didn't mind) He just did it. It was something he wanted to do, something he enjoyed doing so he just did it. I never for a second thought he was being selfish or self-indulgent in doing this.
Me on the other hand, when I wanted to spend a couple of hours making some art (for my business) I felt like I had to gravel and grovel with my begging bowl to him to ask for a couple of hours to myself, feeling immensely guilty for even asking. Not because he would have had any objection but because of my own personal feelings on it. Why?
Here is another example a friend of mine's husband loves mountain biking, he regularly goes to mountain biking events and even takes days of annual leave from work to go and do his hobby. Does he feel guilty about it? Does he feel like he is being self indulgent? I doubt it, because he knows that taking time for himself and his interests is important.
Why don't I feel like this when needing a few hours to myself, when he had no qualms what so ever?
A final third example, we were going on a walk round a lake near us recently and got chatting to a man who was stood with his friend who had stayed over night at the lake in a tent to do his hobby - fishing. We were asking his friend questions about the competitions his friend takes part in and what he was hoping to catch that day. The man amused us for a while, answering our questions but then confessed that the real reason his friend was camping over and spending the day fishing was to get away from it all and have some time to himself. I couldn't help thinking that this man had the right idea. But still for me to do something like; going away for a night by myself to do something I enjoy that would not only take a great amount of courage and decisiveness, but also a shed load of guilt. WHY??
I have really been puzzling over the answer to this, I am not sure I am there yet, maybe it's because historically us women have traditionally been the ones to look after the house and children whilst the men go to work and didn't take part much in the child rearing and house keeping and this feeling of responsibility has been hard to shake over the years. Like some sort of ancient garment we insist on carrying around on our shoulders, or perhaps that society still places on our shoulders; we just haven't been able to shed this relic.
Maybe men are just better at fulfilling those needs than we are. Maybe through some sort of masochism we insist on pushing and pushing ourselves without taking a break or a rest to prove something to ourselves, our partners, society? We CAN do it all we insist, and we can do it without a break. Whereas men don't feel the need to prove themselves in this way because they already receive the recognition through their paid employment. (Which leads me to wonder if women who are in paid employment as opposed to unpaid (as in the full-time-mother- role) also feel guilty when taking time to themselves or if they are able to acknowledge it as a necessity not a luxury?) I am thinking out loud now, and possibly rambling a bit.
I am sure there is plenty of studies out there which have asked these same questions, all that I can say with absolute certainty is that we NEED to take time to ourselves, it's absolutely essential, parenting is highly intense work. And just to clarify I don't think it is the fault of men that we sometimes feel guilty in taking time to ourselves, I think it is something we ourselves need to take responsibility for. I still haven't worked out how to do this without the guilt, so it anyone has the answer I would welcome it with open arms. It's something I need to make more of a priority in the coming weeks with the impending birth of our third child, but I am sure some of you will agree with me that's it's really hard to do.
I do have planned another Gentle Parenting Retreat on 22nd of May for this exact reason, so please get in touch if you are interested.

Each reveal I’ve performed this far since changing into owners had been an inside area — front room, launderette, media room, kitchen, flex lounge, washroom, and bonus bed room. That’s a whole lot of reveals y’all! Whereas we’d fussed round our out of doors areas from the day we moved in, we didn’t truly do something transformative… simply sufficient to adapt to really having an out of doors area. Backing up a bit…
Dwelling in NYC (and I’m solely beginning the timeline when my husband and I turned a household) our constructing had a shared out of doors area with out of doors facilities. I imagine that have is what made us notice that at some point we’d need that for ourselves. Once we moved to WA, our first house had a standing-room-only Juliet balcony… then our second house had a balcony the place we might at the least put out a desk and chairs. Progress!
Then we purchased a house and actually, the out of doors areas are what offered us on this property. The earlier owners clearly beloved being exterior and took a whole lot of care in creating zones across the property. This gave us an ideal start line, as a result of had this merely been an enormous space of grass, we’d doubtless be paralyzed with overwhelm.
We’d by no means owned a house. We’d by no means had land.
Ranging from scratch would’ve completely been unimaginable for us to course of on high of all the things else.
What was an particularly necessary focal point for us was their deck — a 24’ x 24’ raised deck the place they clearly did a whole lot of entertaining, with two built-in benches, two patio heaters, two grills, a smoker, and a raised platform for visible curiosity (I assume). We have been in awe! I bear in mind sending Sherry (@younghouselove) and Shavonda (@sgardnerstyle) images completely geeked out concerning the deck. The plan, on the time, was to proceed to keep up it and finally stain it… the operative phrase being “on the time”.
After our first spring, my husband realized this was a deck we’d finally have to restore… if not altogether exchange. It was a DIY construct that had undoubtedly seen higher days, paired with the work it takes to constantly keep an out of doors wooden construction.
Get any person else to do it.
By that summer season we have been full-on researching various options and landed on composite decking. In the midst of researching the professionals, cons, and pricing of composite decking, Stacie (@staciesspaces) had simply accomplished her deck, railing, and pergola set up — from scratch! — with Barrette Out of doors Dwelling. Except for the attractive design of her deck, I beloved that it was one thing we might presumably do ourselves. After extra analysis — and a lil over a 12 months later — I lastly linked with the Barrette Out of doors Dwelling crew to kick off what would find yourself changing into the start of a phenomenal partnership.
Right here’s what we knew going into this —
1. We didn’t need to construct a deck from scratch — constructing off the prevailing basis could be preferrred… particularly for constructing it ourselves.
2. We had no instant plans to rent this out — figuring out how rather more work we’ve deliberate for our out of doors areas that we for positive wouldn’t DIY, this can be a challenge we have been keen to sort out on our personal (see #1)
3. We would have liked to do that as soon as and do it proper* — this challenge could be everlasting… not a short lived resolution for a future challenge
*Be aware: proper ≠ good.
In lastly deciding to sort out this challenge, we determined we’d even be including a railing, which the earlier deck didn’t have (this was known as out throughout our inspection). Whereas it was technically to code, that was solely due to a one-inch distinction. We’d be including railing and a pergola for separation and shade, however most significantly, we’d be reusing the prevailing sub-deck basis. Like I stated, as a result of we’ve future initiatives that we all know we’d be hiring out, we added this one to our DIY column for #thehyggeranch. Hiring this out would price us tens of 1000’s, and after speaking to the Barrette Out of doors Dwelling crew, I used to be assured in our choice to do it ourselves.
Little did I do know this is able to take us 6+ months to do!
You understand the saying, “Summer our bodies are made within the winter”? The identical goes for our deck! We knew we didn’t need to spend a 3rd spring/summer season season with folding chairs on our outdated deck, which by that point was coming aside on the seams — actually!
Demo started autumn 2022. This was to make sure we deliberate for the 12 months forward, nevertheless, the catalyst was additionally the 12 months I’d simply endured.
After wrapping up the inaugural Meridian Expertise Weekend, I spent a whole lot of time exterior… far more than I’d ever performed in our complete time residing right here. This turned my place of respite and restoration. The extra time I spent exterior, the extra I daydreamed about all of the issues we might do to make this out of doors space extra ours and fewer theirs (them being the earlier owners) and I finally started severely ideating for #thehyggeranchresort. In case you’ve been following together with the deck construct over on Instagram then you understand we chosen our deck colour to enrich our house’s present colour and the colour we take note of for once we improve the siding down the street. Everlasting, one-and-done challenge, bear in mind? I used to be in a position to get quite a lot of samples from Barrette Out of doors Dwelling throughout their totally different deck collections, together with the DuraLife Landscapes Assortment™ that we ended up deciding on for our challenge. You’ll be able to learn extra about that course of right here.
I by no means actually understood how dangerous the outdated deck was — as a result of at a look it was actually a stunning deck! — till the brand new construct was underway. Even in holding the prevailing basis we encountered plenty of issues…
- One part of the deck was utterly rotted, which might’ve meant rebuilding it or omitting it. We selected the latter.
- Compromised joists — principally from rot — wanted to be strengthened with further blocking and lumber remains to be tremendous costly nowadays!
- Imperfections within the present deck would finally affect our closing design since we’d be following those self same joists for our new planks.
Nevertheless, past these structural challenges, there have been a number of different issues that made me have a deeper appreciation for tackling this challenge now versus later. For instance, I’d by no means even dared to stroll barefoot on the outdated deck as a result of it will get actually sizzling or I’d danger needing a tetanus shot from stepping on an uncovered nail from one of many planks. I stored a pair of deck slippers for the handful of instances that I truly went on the market. Who am I kidding… I’m a slippers-always kinda woman, with slippers all around the home! Since finishing the construct, then again, I’m all the time on the market barefoot. The texture of the brand new composite deck under my toes simply feels so comfy! 90º days. After the rain. Cool nights. Doesn’t matter. Each time I’m on the market, it feels so comfy underfoot. That is the place another person would say they dreamed of days like this. Not I… but I can admire the sentiment as a result of each time I stroll on the market with my laptop computer and tea, with or with out slippers, it appears like one thing out of a novel.
However I get forward of myself as a result of I haven’t even proven y’all of the glow-up but! Truly, let’s first watch this video so you’ll be able to perceive the zones (simply watch for the advert to play):
Ending an entire deck overhaul meant rolling into a number of the prettier elements of this endeavor –
- Including a pergola
- Upgrading the patio heater
- Creating a hearth pit space
- Creating zones for residing, lounging, and eating
This all got here collectively simply in time for us to lastly & totally get pleasure from #thehyggeranchresort…
Now…bear in mind once I talked about being on the market barefoot?
When researching decks, and in the end deciding to go Barrette’s DuraLife® Landscapes Assortment™ Decking, I bear in mind studying about their CoolTrac materials composition and being tremendous fascinated by this. In essence, this composition permits for a extra slip-resistant and cooler floor, in comparison with conventional composite decking. Whereas this appeared like an ideal profit, it didn’t actually imply something to us as a result of we’d by no means considered it being a problem till truly experiencing the distinction. Sooner or later after it rained, I went exterior and instantly seen that I didn’t have to maneuver slowly in my slippers for worry of slipping. Quick ahead a number of weeks later, once we bought our first bout of warmth within the PNW, I stepped onto the deck assuming it will be scorching sizzling below my naked foot… and it wasn’t! In each situations – rain and warmth – I used to be in a position to freely transfer about and that was once I knew we made funding for our house and our way of life.
Now that we’re on the opposite facet of this deck renovation – many months later! – my husband and I each agree that it was a well-worth-it challenge. It’s impressed so many way of life shifts and enhancements – from including a mini herb backyard to upgrading our watering system with HoseLink to deliberately going out to sunbathe – and I like this for us.
Getting into our third summer season in our house, we’ve by no means spent this a lot time exterior and a lot of that was tethered – particularly for me – to the truth that the deck wasn’t made for US! We beloved the look of the unique deck… and we beloved even simply having one… nevertheless, we didn’t have a say in the truth that it had built-in benches, the placement of the porch heaters, the raised platform… any of it. And whereas working with the prevailing sub-deck undoubtedly “restricted” our format, I like that our new selections from the decking firm didn’t restrict us when it comes to colour and design particulars.
The raised platform – and that complete quadrant – that we ended up eliminating is now a ten′ x 10′ slab and devoted fireplace pit space that I completely love gazing as a result of I can’t imagine WE added that design function! It fits us so a lot better, particularly with the combo of Polywood Curveback Adirondack Chairs and Out of doors Rocking Chairs. Whether or not it’s one in every of us simply having fun with the solitude with a cup of tea or all three of us sitting our the fireplace pit making s’mores, this was made for us by us. Within the backdrop is the deck skirting, which is identical Boardwalk Ornamental Panels that we used for our pergola. And from this identical pergola hangs an assortment of black pendants to create a cluster that I believe I’ll proceed to develop over time, creating extra visible curiosity and extra of these bespoke hygge resort vibes. This cohesiveness is precisely why I’m glad we have been in a position to supply such a serious improve from one place. This allowed us to create a holistic design story from the pergola to the deck to all of the peripheral complimentary black particulars… together with our eventual rail addition.
Now once we go exterior to grill, it’s not simply grilling – it’s a complete out of doors expertise that feels completely in alignment with who we’re and the life we wanna dwell. P.S. The earlier owners left us essentially the most wonderful grill and we’re actually getting their cash’s value lol.
Personally, as somebody who’s introverted, has social anxiousness, and is completely tremendous all the time being house, my house is now formally my fave place to be – all 12 months, all seasons. Staycation > Trip! The Barrette Out of doors Dwelling particulars, the furnishings from Overstock, and the equipment that we pulled out from our “room of requirement” – aka the storage lol – all got here collectively in a manner that legit appears like a resort… and that I actually don’t suppose I’ll ever be capable to totally put that in phrases. Simply belief me once I say it feels good.
With tomorrow being the primary official day of summer season – and opening day of the 2nd annual Meridian Expertise Weekend – I’m so happy with each choice we made! From the place to DIY, the place to rent, and when to pivot it’s all come collectively in the very best manner. This isn’t to say the yard is “completed” – as a result of it’s not – nevertheless it’s at the very best stopping level the place we are able to take all of it in and revel in it for a big period of time, earlier than feeling like we want to leap into the following challenge. As a result of I don’t know for those who’ve seen… however I’ve scaled again my reveals by like A LOT… from six reveals in 2021 to now only one a 12 months lol. Why? As a result of I wanna dwell right here. I wanna be nonetheless. And now, from June to October, I may be nonetheless exterior on our new deck. As the youngsters say on the interwebs we exterior… however at house!
You didn’t suppose I used to be simply gonna depart y’all hanging and not using a nighttime view!?
A part of what has continued to make this area really feel magical is the ambiance created by the lighting! In true hygge-inspired style, I launched hyggebelysning (hygge-lighting) by layering totally different lighting options – a cluster of pendants hanging from the pergola, paper pendants hanging from our palm timber, hardwired floor stakes across the deck and garden, and a mixture of candle and photo voltaic lanterns to fashion with.
Once we purchased our house, it didn’t have hardwired lighting so this was new terrain for us. Because of the very useful lighting assist crew at LeonLite, we have been in a position to get all the suitable supplies and simply set up our new LED floor stakes and also you guys!!! I couldn’t love these lights any extra! They set the stage for the remainder of the lighting plan as we slowly started to section out the earlier photo voltaic stakes. There’s nonetheless some in different elements of the yard, merely due to the place our energy is positioned. They solid a phenomenal comfortable – but vivid – heat glow that’s the right addition to #thehyggeranchresort. Our pre-existing IKEA pendant lanterns (related) have a complimentary heat glow so we have been lastly in a position to pull these out of the room of requirement, along with some pendant baskets… all of which had been in there for the higher a part of three years! After a whole lot of trial and error, I lastly discovered the right warm-temperature hanging photo voltaic gentle bulbs for our woven pendants, and created our personal makeshift swag equipment with black jute. For our metallic pendants, I repurposed two hanging photo voltaic lights from two of our paper pendants that bought broken. A win-win! A mixture of metallic, woven, and basket lanterns spherical out the lighting “tour”.
So I’d truly prefer to amend my earlier assertion…
My house is now formally my fave place to be – all 12 months, all seasons, from daybreak to nightfall.

Amidst a plethora of AI-infused devices at the show, Ballie stands out with its integral projector. Samsung asserts in a press release that Ballie is the "world’s first projector to automatically detect people’s posture and facial angle and adjust the optimal projection angle" based on the circumstances.
In theory, this feature makes Ballie a convenient addition to your home, such as waking up and curious about the day's weather. However, the practicality of such a robot depends on whether Samsung reveals pricing and a release date. - Taylor Lyles, Reporter
MSI Claw Is Another Exciting Handheld Gaming PC on the Way
Handheld gaming PCs may be nothing new, but ever since Valve released the Steam Deck nearly two years ago, the market of gaming PCs has become a hot ticket item for those looking to play their favorite PC games beyond the conventional way of using a gaming laptop. MSI now joins this emerging market with the Claw, a Windows-powered handheld using an Intel Meteor Lake CPU. MSI is touting its battery performance, which makes Claw the most desirable handheld to buy, promising an "impressive 2-hour battery life under full workload conditions." - Taylor Lyles, Reporter
Asus ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP Is a Stunning 1440p 480Hz Gaming Monitor
LG wowed me last week when it announced an OLED 480Hz gaming monitor. But I was perplexed at the lack of pricing let alone an actual name. 480Hz gaming monitors is certainly new territory for the market. So it was no surprise that Asus announced today that it was also making a 1440p 480Hz gaming monitor called the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP. There is no price, but Asus gave a “second half of 2024” release window for the PG27AQDP. - Taylor Lyles, Reporter
Asus ROG NUC 14 Enthusiast Is a Powerful Yet Tiny Gaming PC
Intel’s NUCs (Next Unit of Computing) have always been these adorable little mini PCs, but Asus has turned that concept into a tiny gaming PC. The Asus ROG NUC 14 Enthusiast is a gaming NUC powered by the new Intel Core Ultra processors and either an Nvidia RTX 4060 or RTX 4070. Now, don’t get your hopes up too much, these are the mobile versions of the GPUs, but it’s still more than powerful enough to play through pretty much any game you throw at it. Couple that with how easy it is to fit into any setup no matter how space-constrained, and the Asus ROG NUC 14 Enthusiast has a ton of potential for fans of the best gaming PCs and mini PCs alike. - Jacqueline Thomas, Tech and Buying Guides Editor
Lenovo's ThinkBook 13x Gen 4 SPE Concept Has a Full 'E-Ink Prism' Screen on the Lid You Can Customize
If you like stickering up your laptop but you don’t want to deal with it, well, actually putting stickers on it, Lenovo has you covered. At CES 2024, the company showed off a concept laptop that has an e-ink display on the top of the laptop. That means you can pretty much have the laptop showing off any image you want, whenever you want. Think about it: once you stick up a laptop, you’re stuck with how the laptop looks unless you want to go through the tiring process of scraping off each sticker. If this concept becomes an actual laptop, you can change the way your laptop looks at the press of a button, perfect for anyone who likes to customize the look of their tech. - Jacqueline Thomas, Tech and Buying Guides Editor
Hyperkin Excites With the DuchesS and Mega 95
Whenever Hyperkin comes to CES it always has a neat gadget or two up its sleeve. And this year did not disappoint, as the company announced DuchesS and Mega 95.
The former is a remake of the Original Xbox S controller that works on Xbox One, Series X/S, and Windows 10/11 PCs. Most importantly, it features Hall Effect thumbsticks and Hall Effect impulse Triggers – with thumbstick drift a growing problem in the industry this will extend the controller’s lifespan significantly, while the impulse triggers will add more realism in action or first-person shooter games. Hyperkin did not give a release date or price in its press release, but the Hall effect thumbsticks and triggers plus that sleek design are worth the price of admission.
The latter is a handheld that plays Sega Genesis and Mega Drive cartridges and looks like an oversized Genesis controller so same concept as Hyperkin’s SupaBoy handheld. The Mega 95 features a 5-inch screen with a button that can toggle between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios. If you feel like playing it on a larger display, a USB-C dock includes TV output (though its resolution cannot go higher than 720p). Again, no price and release date for the Mega 95, but the announcement alone should have Sega Genesis fans rejoicing. – Taylor Lyles, Reporter
Hyte Y70 Touch Has A Large Touch Screen That You Can Even Put Twitch Chat On
PC case design gets more interesting every year. Hyte’s popular Y60 case, which has a large wraparound glass panel, was already pretty cool, but the new Y70 Touch takes things to the next level by adding a large touch screen panel to the front edge of the case. It can display system stats, Twitch chat, or even play a game of what looks like but for legal reasons definitely isn’t Tetris. The Y70 Touch costs $359.99 and will be available later this year. – Bo Moore, Executive Tech Editor
MSI RTX 4080 Super 16G Expert Is a Simplistic Yet Sleek and Powerful GPU
The designs of Nvidia’s Founder’s Edition cards are always so appealing to me. The simplistic yet sleek design makes any Founder’s Edition GPU worthy of any PC gaming rig. Of course, the Founder’s Edition GPUs are always hard to find even at launch for some with OEMs being more common to find. I was surprised to see MSI being the first OEM to take some influence and design its own Founder’s Edition GPU for the 4080 Super.
The RTX 4080 Super 16G Expert has that same simplistic look like its 4080 Super Founder’s Edition counterpart (and both are absurdly huge having seen both in person this week). Instead of the black design with gray outlines, MSI’s 4080 Super 16G Expert is gray. The GPU also at first glance could easily be mistaken as a non-gaming GPU, which might throw some people off, but I could imagine how awesome it would look standing vertically in a PC case. – Taylor Lyles, Reporter
Rabbit R1 Is a AI-Powered Companion Pocket-Sized Gadget That Can Learn Your Behaviors
If you are not keeping up with CES 2024 themes and trends, AI is the big one by a country mile. With so many gadgets appearing this year incorporating artificial intelligence in some capacity, one that has really stuck out to me is R1, a pocket-sized gadget from the AI startup, Rabbit.
Rabbit R1 at first glance reminds me of an orange color variant of the Playdate handheld. But unlike the Playdate, this device is an AI-powered companion piece that promises an “app-free experience.” Rabbit said in its press release that the R1 will be able to observe your behavior when using specific apps and then mimic and perform them on its own. Based on how R1 is described, sounds like a virtual assistant like Amazon Alexa, but souped up with AI allowing it to have the independence to do tasks like play music or ordering something off of Amazon on its own accord. – Taylor Lyles, Reporter
C Seed's N1 MicroLED TV Is a 137-Inch TV That Just So Happens to Be Fully Foldable
Foldable TVs like the latest one TCL announced are out in the wild at CES. But everything seems to be foldable, I want something I can unfold like C Seed’s N1 MicroLED TV. It’s 137 inches, which is pretty big for a TV, especially one designed for indoor usage. Naturally, that is going to take up a lot of space, but when it is not in use for its intended purpose it folds into a futuristic sculpture. – Taylor Lyles, Reporter
Clicks Is an iPhone Phone Case The Features a Physical Keyboard
Last week, a new tech startup company called Clicks Technology was announced. Beyond the announcement of the company's formation, it also revealed its first product: Clicks, a phone case for select iPhones (iPhone 14 Pro, 15 Pro, and 15 Pro Max) that includes a physical keyboard.
At first glance, this product looks like a Blackberry with an iPhone attached. But having checked it out, the product is so much more than something people nostalgic for Blackberry will buy. Clicks is a well-built accessory perfect for people who miss physical phone keyboards. Not only that but there is potential for this to be a great accessibility tool for those with visual impairments. The product has a lot of potential, even though there is a bit of a learning curve, as I still have a typo or two when testing out the keyboards. – Taylor Lyles, Reporter
The First Smart Binoculars are Called the Swarovski Optik AX Visio and They Sound Awesome
Not many people publicly know about this, but I am a huge conservationist. I enjoy the great outdoors, and living in the state that I do, I take advantage of the cool outdoor activities I can do, especially during hunting season.
When I saw the Swarovski Optik AX Visio, I was immediately intrigued. Yeah, it looks like a pair of regular old binoculars at first glance. But it has a ton of smarts. For one thing, it is capable of photo and video capture. Yet my favorite thing about the AX Visio is that it can identify birds and animals for you with the press of a button! It left me wondering about my infinite possibilities with this thing. From identifying what bird is on a tree, I see as I am up 30 feet in the air in a tree stand when I am bow hunting, for example.
It's a shame this gadget will cost a hefty penny at $4,799. - Taylor Lyles, Reporter
Samsung Music Frame Puts Music to Your Favorite Photos
Do YOU remember Samsung's Frame TV? What if I told you that Samsung is doing something like it again, but instead, it's a picture frame that also doubles as a wireless speaker?
Like the Frame TV before it, the Samsung Music Frame is a technical trojan horse: it looks like a regular picture frame, but on the inside, it houses multiple speakers. It'll be interesting to see how people incorporate this in their homes should they decide to buy one (or more). - Taylor Lyles, Reporter

The Importance of Kitchen Garden, especially in an urban home, is more than just getting fresh veggies. Find out all its benefits here!
The kitchen garden is miniature farming of vegetables and herbs. It can be a great source of nutritious and fresh veggies. Apart from garden beds, you can create one even in the patio, balcony, terrace, or even window boxes. Succession, intercropping, and vertical gardening are also finding great significance in kitchen garden ideas. The Importance of Kitchen Garden in a home are many! Let’s have a look!
Check out our article on growing a vegetable garden here
Importance of Kitchen Garden
1. Fresh Organic Harvest
The biggest perk of having your own kitchen garden is that you have access to fresh harvest, whenever you need it. It eliminates the hassle of rushing to the vegetable markets. The kitchen garden ensures inexpensive and nutritious harvest year-round. And, you can not deny the fact that homegrown vegetables are far tastier and chemicals-free.
2. Nutritious Diet and Detoxifies Body
Vegetables are loaded with several vitamins, fibers, and minerals that provide essential nutrition to the body and prevent numerous diseases and malnutrition. Leafy vegetables prevent iron deficiency like anemia. Herbs and spices are known for playing a vital role in detoxifying toxins from the body. Furthermore, herbs are easiest to grow and require lesser space. You can pick lemongrass, coriander, dill, rosemary, mint, basil, and thyme for growing in kitchen gardens.
3. Purifies Surrounding Air
Plants cleanse the surrounding air by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Apart from cleansing air, they elevate the aesthetic appeal of the house.
4. Gives You a Hobby
Gardening is like a hobby for many. Due to a hectic lifestyle, people’s touch with nature is losing. Vegetable gardening will keep you grounded with nature.
5. Recycling of Vegetables and Plant Scraps
The leftover peels, unused vegetables, and shredded leaves can help you in making compost for further gardening. You can even create a compost trench with these vegetable remnants. And, if you are growing leguminous vegetables like beans, then it has added perk of naturally enriching the soil with nitrogen.
How to Plan a Kitchen Garden?
Choose a sunny location of your yard for creating the kitchen garden. If you don’t have much space, opt for container gardening. Any patio, balcony, or terrace will do the trick that receives 6-7 hours of sunlight.
- Remove debris and weeds and plow the garden thoroughly. Then, amend the soil with compost and cow dung manure before planting.
- It’s better to start seeds in pots with potting mix, and after a couple of weeks, transplant them to the garden. Especially, tomato, pepper, or eggplant prefer indoor planting, whereas carrot and radish can be directly sown outdoors.
- In gardens, water deeply twice a week, but reduce this rate during winters. For container plants, check the water consistency by poking a finger in the soil. If it looks dry, water well.
- Many vegetables like cucumber, tomatoes, beans, and gourds grow on creeping vines, so install stakes and trellis for them. You can even go for vertical gardening by using wall and railing planters.
- To avoid competition among plants for nutrients and water, always maintain a space of 18-36 inches between the rows or plant them in individual containers.
- You can also go for intercropping, in which some vegetables are grown together as companion plants, like maize, squash, and beans pair.
- A raised bed is a feasible option for creating a kitchen garden, as it facilitates easy maintenance.
What to Grow in Kitchen Garden?
There are so many vegetables that you can try for your kitchen garden. For instance, spinach, turnip, cabbage, coriander, broccoli, kale, garlic, cauliflower, and onion are the best vegetables that grow from October to February. Amarnath, tomato, chili, and bitter gourd dwell from March to June.
If you are a newbie in vegetables growing, then start with the easier ones like parsley, lettuces, spinach, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, beans, cucumbers, and radishes that require comparatively less care. Whereas, if you have a green thumb, then consider going for cauliflowers, cabbage, carrots, and melons.
Note: Prefer heirloom or hybrid varieties for seeds or seedling for better chances of prolific growth.

I assume one may say that the last couple of weeks of mine have been hectic in relation to my dating life but it surely was price it. In the world of online dating, messaging is what bridges the hole between seeing somebody’s profile and going out on a date with them. For ten years l havebeen praying for a change in my husband’s life and our marriage but issues should not simply working why? As a result of l tried hard to be a great russian wives mother and wife. By this through out these ten years l have responsible in paying our three kids school fees, gentle and ware bills and also providing meal on the desk on a regular basis. My husband claims he has offered lodging, automotive n a store which l handle and for motive he has achieved what no man on earth has ever performed.
On being a gentleman: I all the time open a automotive door for a feminine, even when it’s a coworker. I watch too many guys sit by as a petite girl tries to put her luggage away on a aircraft. C’mon guys, have some class. There is a right method and a mistaken method to text a girl. But before russiansbrides.com you study the best” way, it’s good to learn what is not the right manner and correct it.
Let her respond. If the texting goes effectively – build on it and text her once more in a number of days. 2nd time – ask her to meet up. If you are not paying much hot russian brides attention to your date, you won’t have the ability to get to know them. Parodied in Dilbert , when Wally mail-orders a bride from Elbonia. She turns out to be a pig (literally).
In relation to relationships, language is every part. Simply as soon because the improper phrase can set your lover off, a superbly worded sentence also russian brides can unlock her heart. There’s no tension in a friendship. None. Nonetheless, once you’re with a woman and you’re constructing attraction, pressure is the secret.
The primary benefit of assembly women online over approaching them in actual life is that you may look by their profiles and get an concept of whether you will russians brides have one thing in widespread. For example, if a woman acknowledged that she’s in search of a serious relationship and you just need to find a pal, it is apparent that you are not compatible.
Let’s face it: Guys hate asking for advice. Whether for driving directions or dating, no man wants to confess both to himself and to anyone else that he is lost. It may be laborious, while russian brides you so badly wish to find the one,” however getting to know another particular person, actually, takes time and patience.
Most husbands most likely don’t take into consideration “seducing” their wives. Loads of guys seem to assume that after they get married they don’t need to make the effort anymore, and that sex is just russians brides a given. However when you’re not familiar with utilizing dating web sites, getting started can appear fairly daunting. And for each success story you hear, you may hear a dozen tales of horror dates.
I hope you really are completely satisfied and he or she is actually good to you and will stick with you thru thrick and skinny. But, it is my assumption, not realizing anyone personally. The sad russian brides for marriage reality is that money buys energy and power attracts ladies. We are able to call it power, excitement, potential to be free, take cost, or do what you want… But what it all really is, is cash.
There’s appreciable evidence that couples can continue having an incredible sex life after menopause. Nonetheless, it is usually vital to focus on that there are a lot of elements that influence russiansbrides the potential of a lady experiencing menopausal symptoms, together with sexual issues. A lady’s relationship with her companion exerts a significant influence on her menopausal signs, specifically the sexual symptoms which she experiences.

Calculating the Deflection of a Worm Shaft
In this article, we’ll discuss how to determine the deflection of a worm gear’s worm shaft. We’ll also go over the qualities of a worm gear, including its tooth forces. And we will protect the essential characteristics of a worm gear. Study on to discover a lot more! Here are some issues to think about before acquiring a worm gear. We hope you appreciate finding out! After looking through this report, you may be nicely-geared up to choose a worm gear to match your wants.
Calculation of worm shaft deflection
The main objective of the calculations is to decide the deflection of a worm. Worms are used to flip gears and mechanical devices. This sort of transmission uses a worm. The worm diameter and the amount of teeth are inputted into the calculation slowly. Then, a desk with suitable answers is revealed on the display screen. Soon after finishing the table, you can then go on to the main calculation. You can change the energy parameters as effectively.
The greatest worm shaft deflection is calculated making use of the finite aspect method (FEM). The design has numerous parameters, including the dimension of the aspects and boundary situations. The results from these simulations are in comparison to the corresponding analytical values to compute the optimum deflection. The end result is a table that displays the optimum worm shaft deflection. The tables can be downloaded underneath. You can also discover much more details about the various deflection formulas and their programs.
The calculation method utilised by DIN EN 10084 is primarily based on the hardened cemented worm of 16MnCr5. Then, you can use DIN EN 10084 (CuSn12Ni2-C-GZ) and DIN EN 1982 (CuAl10Fe5Ne5-C-GZ). Then, you can enter the worm experience width, either manually or utilizing the car-recommend alternative.
Widespread strategies for the calculation of worm shaft deflection provide a excellent approximation of deflection but do not account for geometric modifications on the worm. Although Norgauer’s 2021 strategy addresses these problems, it fails to account for the helical winding of the worm teeth and overestimates the stiffening influence of gearing. More innovative methods are necessary for the successful style of thin worm shafts.
Worm gears have a lower sound and vibration in comparison to other kinds of mechanical gadgets. Even so, worm gears are typically restricted by the quantity of dress in that happens on the softer worm wheel. Worm shaft deflection is a important influencing factor for noise and dress in. The calculation approach for worm equipment deflection is offered in ISO/TR 14521, DIN 3996, and AGMA 6022.
The worm gear can be designed with a precise transmission ratio. The calculation involves dividing the transmission ratio amongst more levels in a gearbox. Energy transmission enter parameters affect the gearing homes, as well as the material of the worm/equipment. To attain a far better efficiency, the worm/equipment substance ought to match the conditions that are to be skilled. The worm gear can be a self-locking transmission.
The worm gearbox is made up of several equipment components. The primary contributors to the complete power loss are the axial loads and bearing losses on the worm shaft. That’s why, distinct bearing configurations are researched. One variety contains locating/non-finding bearing arrangements. The other is tapered roller bearings. The worm gear drives are deemed when locating versus non-locating bearings. The analysis of worm equipment drives is also an investigation of the X-arrangement and four-point contact bearings.
Affect of tooth forces on bending stiffness of a worm gear
The bending stiffness of a worm equipment is dependent on tooth forces. Tooth forces enhance as the electricity density raises, but this also qualified prospects to increased worm shaft deflection. The resulting deflection can have an effect on effectiveness, wear load capability, and NVH actions. Continuous improvements in bronze supplies, lubricants, and production quality have enabled worm gear companies to create ever more higher power densities.
Standardized calculation approaches get into account the supporting effect of the toothing on the worm shaft. Even so, overhung worm gears are not included in the calculation. In addition, the toothing area is not taken into account until the shaft is developed up coming to the worm equipment. Likewise, the root diameter is dealt with as the equivalent bending diameter, but this ignores the supporting impact of the worm toothing.
A generalized formulation is presented to estimate the STE contribution to vibratory excitation. The results are relevant to any equipment with a meshing pattern. It is recommended that engineers check diverse meshing strategies to receive more precise final results. 1 way to examination tooth-meshing surfaces is to use a finite factor anxiety and mesh subprogram. This application will evaluate tooth-bending stresses beneath dynamic masses.
The impact of tooth-brushing and lubricant on bending stiffness can be achieved by growing the strain angle of the worm pair. This can reduce tooth bending stresses in the worm gear. A more technique is to include a load-loaded tooth-get in touch with analysis (CCTA). This is also employed to examine mismatched ZC1 worm travel. The final results attained with the strategy have been extensively used to numerous sorts of gearing.
In this examine, we found that the ring gear’s bending stiffness is very influenced by the enamel. The chamfered root of the ring equipment is larger than the slot width. As a result, the ring gear’s bending stiffness varies with its tooth width, which raises with the ring wall thickness. In addition, a variation in the ring wall thickness of the worm gear causes a better deviation from the design specification.
To realize the influence of the tooth on the bending stiffness of a worm gear, it is crucial to know the root shape. Involute teeth are prone to bending stress and can split underneath intense situations. A tooth-breakage investigation can control this by determining the root condition and the bending stiffness. The optimization of the root form right on the ultimate gear minimizes the bending tension in the involute tooth.
The influence of tooth forces on the bending stiffness of a worm equipment was investigated using the CZPT Spiral Bevel Equipment Test Facility. In this examine, a number of teeth of a spiral bevel pinion ended up instrumented with pressure gages and tested at speeds ranging from static to 14400 RPM. The assessments ended up carried out with energy levels as high as 540 kW. The benefits acquired ended up in comparison with the evaluation of a 3-dimensional finite factor product.
Characteristics of worm gears
Worm gears are special sorts of gears. They function a selection of qualities and purposes. This article will take a look at the traits and rewards of worm gears. Then, we are going to look at the common apps of worm gears. Let’s consider a look! Ahead of we dive in to worm gears, let’s review their abilities. Hopefully, you may see how functional these gears are.
A worm gear can achieve huge reduction ratios with small hard work. By incorporating circumference to the wheel, the worm can drastically improve its torque and reduce its speed. Standard gearsets need a number of reductions to accomplish the same reduction ratio. Worm gears have much less transferring components, so there are much less spots for failure. Nevertheless, they can not reverse the course of electrical power. This is due to the fact the friction amongst the worm and wheel helps make it unattainable to move the worm backwards.
Worm gears are extensively employed in elevators, hoists, and lifts. They are especially beneficial in programs the place halting velocity is essential. They can be incorporated with smaller sized brakes to make sure safety, but should not be relied upon as a major braking system. Normally, they are self-locking, so they are a excellent option for a lot of applications. They also have a lot of benefits, like elevated effectiveness and security.
Worm gears are developed to achieve a specific reduction ratio. They are normally organized in between the input and output shafts of a motor and a load. The two shafts are often positioned at an angle that guarantees suitable alignment. Worm gear gears have a center spacing of a body size. The center spacing of the equipment and worm shaft determines the axial pitch. For instance, if the gearsets are set at a radial distance, a smaller outer diameter is needed.
Worm gears’ sliding speak to reduces performance. But it also assures tranquil procedure. The sliding action limitations the performance of worm gears to 30% to fifty%. A handful of tactics are introduced herein to minimize friction and to create excellent entrance and exit gaps. You may before long see why they are such a adaptable option for your wants! So, if you might be considering getting a worm gear, make positive you read through this post to understand much more about its traits!
An embodiment of a worm equipment is described in FIGS. 19 and 20. An alternate embodiment of the technique utilizes a one motor and a solitary worm 153. The worm 153 turns a equipment which drives an arm 152. The arm 152, in change, moves the lens/mirr assembly 10 by different the elevation angle. The motor manage unit 114 then tracks the elevation angle of the lens/mirr assembly 10 in relation to the reference place.
The worm wheel and worm are equally created of metal. Nonetheless, the brass worm and wheel are manufactured of brass, which is a yellow steel. Their lubricant picks are far more versatile, but they are constrained by additive restrictions thanks to their yellow metallic. Plastic on metallic worm gears are normally found in light load purposes. The lubricant used relies upon on the type of plastic, as a lot of varieties of plastics respond to hydrocarbons found in normal lubricant. For this explanation, you need to have a non-reactive lubricant.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis may have a closer relationship with Disney than he’d like to admit despite the heated conflict between the two.
It is no secret that Florida Governor Ronald Dion DeSantis has a less-than-friendly relationship with The Walt Disney Company, with the politician constantly boasting about his retaliation against Disney for opposing his Parental Rights in Education Act, or the “Don’t Say Gay Bill” as it is commonly known.
However, DeSantis has failed to mention a magical detail about his life. Long before Disney became what he derides as a “woke corporation,” the Most Magical Place on Earth was the venue where he once said his “I Do’s.”
As reported by Yahoo News, DeSantis exchanged wedding vows with his wife Casey DeSantis, whose maiden name was Black, dressed in his white, decorated Naval uniform, at the Grand Floridian’s wedding pavilion, a chapel with arched windows overlooking Cinderella Castle and the Seven Seas Lagoon. The event’s reception was held at EPCOT’s Italy Isola in a nod to the couple’s Italian heritage.
The Florida Governor, who is viewed as a lock for reelection on November 8, has been the subject of high-profile feature stories as he ascends the ranks of the Republican Party, becoming a favorite for the 2024 presidential nomination just behind former President Donald Trump.
However, details of the DeSantis’ Disney wedding haven’t previously been reported. An estimated 150 Guests attended the DeSantis’ wedding on September 26, 2009, and three people confirmed the location to Insider while recently reporting a story about Casey DeSantis.
The Florida Governor posted a picture with his wife, wishing her a happy anniversary earlier this year. However, the wedding venue cannot be seen in the image shared.
Happy Anniversary to my beautiful wife, @CaseyDeSantis! I am so thankful for our marriage every day, you are an amazing wife, mother and friend. Love you so much!
— Ron DeSantis (@RonDeSantisFL) September 26, 2022
The choice of venue surprised one of the former friends and colleagues of the Florida first lady, who spoke on condition of anonymity, as she was “not really a Disney person,” but said that Casey DeSantis “wanted something all-inclusive and put together.” The ceremony was officiated by Philip Rogers, a Catholic priest from Ohio, as shown in a copy of the couple’s marriage license.
The marriage license lists the wedding location as Lake Buena Vista, Florida, which is the mailing address for Disney World and is a city in Orange County. The location of the governor’s wedding doesn’t appear to be widely known, even among some of his former aides.
Michael Binder, director of the Public Opinion Research Lab at the University of North Florida, told Insider that the news was “strange” and “super funny” but added that DeSantis “is very tight-lipped about his personal life.” “It’s not like he’s got a mistress or he killed somebody, but I heard something today that surprised me,” Binder said.
Disney’s Wedding Pavillion, located at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa in the Magic Kingdom area of Walt Disney World Resort, currently has a ceremony venue fee of $6,000 and an event minimum of $12,500 – $35,000.

Recent events involving bad Guest behavior at the Disney Parks is certainly doing a number on the morale of both the Cast Members and dedicated fans showing actual respect for the most magical places on earth. It’s one thing to verbally insult a performer, but when Guests and visitors start engaging in dangerous actions, further steps desperately need to be taken.
Disney has gone through more than its fair share of turmoil and trouble recently, especially where Guests are concerned. The Disney Parks are known for their magical and whimsical reputations, but the increasing reports of Guests cutting in line, fighting, and even assaulting Cast Members is quickly leaving a sour taste in every visitor’s mouth.
Needless to say, it’s draining away every bit of magic the company is trying to save. However, things might be more serious than Disney would have fans believe.
Some Cast Members are calling for stricter disciplinary responses, such as having abrasive and confrontational Guests escorted out of the Park with a temporary ban. With more and more reports of such disrespectful behavior coming in almost on a daily basis, it seems like Disney might need to start heading that direction. However, the sentiment is hammered in even further when Guests are becoming a risk to themselves and others. Leaping from a ride vehicle might sound like a cheap thrill until someone becomes seriously injured.
What these Guests don’t seem to realize is that there are safety measures in place for a reason. People have been injured and even died on Disney property, and these visitors continue to throw caution to the wind. Sneaking onto off-limits areas on castle property might seem like a laugh at first, but exploring an area where alligators have been known to lurk is simply asking for trouble.
It’s only a matter of time before some rowdy guest or ambitious influencer winds up brutally injured or worse.
Related: Do Disney Fans Crave Crowd Control?
Somedays, it feels like Guests have lost their collective minds and it’s the Cast Members who suffer for it. One way or another, Disney definitely needs to do something about it.

There are so many reasons in life for food to bring people together: Celebrations of birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, friendship, family, and holidays to name a few. Probably the most generous reason is when businesses, causes and people gather to raise money for organizations to help those in need.
I recently had the opportunity to participate in two such experiences that just showcase how we all come together to aid those in our community. The Jackson Chance Foundation and the LuxeHome Chill event took place within this past month. While each had a different purpose, they both brought together people who wanted to support the efforts of each fundraiser.… Read more

A pastor friend recently asked me out for coffee and put the question to me directly: “What are your thoughts about missional small groups?” I smiled. Both of us have led small group ministries in various church contexts, so I knew that he was pushing me a little. There was a question behind the question. Is it possible to share life together through small groups while being outward focused? This is what he was really getting at.
The question is challenging because our typical small group practices tend to be inward looking and oriented to our own needs and concerns. Of course, it’s good to share time in prayer and Bible study with trusted friends. This is why we typically gather in small groups. But if this is the only way that we gather beyond Sunday worship, we can easily end up fostering a sheltered, secluded life that revolves around ourselves.
We had a good discussion together. I appreciated my friend laying down the gauntlet. Missional life and learning is something that we both care about, but we also know the difficulty of rejigging our routines. So we dug into that together. How do we become more missional in small group when our instinct to turn inward is so strong?
Shifting the Frame
I think the place to begin is with our calling. It’s amazing that the early Christians not only met in each other’s homes for study, prayer and table fellowship, but in a way that was open to the wider community. They shared an ongoing life together in visible, public ways while inviting others to join in. The effect was amazing. Luke tells us that they “enjoy[ed] the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved” (2:47). This wasn’t the outworking of some grand strategy. They were simply giving expression to the “new commandment” Jesus had given them: “Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:34).
Together with the first Christians, we are called to gather in the interests of loving one another and, through that love, pointing people to Jesus. We are also called to serve in the broader community and to welcome others so that they too might find belonging in Christ and share in his love. This is so important to remember. It helps us to shift the frame and begin to live with new intentions and aspirations.
Learning New Practices
Remembering our calling is important, but how do we begin practicing a more outward focus in our life together? This can be tricky because not many of us know what shared life might look like beyond our close friendships and family. Let me suggest a few things that cropped up in the conversation with my friend:
Go with What You Know
If you are in a small group that tends to be inward looking, don’t be anxious or feel guilty. Embrace who you are and make small moves as you can. One of the easiest ways to become more outward focused is to highlight the areas of life that people in your group actually live in and begin to treat those spheres as ground for mission. So what would it be like to study, pray and share life with a view to ministry and mission in the workplace, at home, in community? That is a game changer, and you don’t necessarily have to change your routine—at least at first. Instead you are simply noticing what is already going on in your lives and coming awake to the possibilities.
Consider Serving Together
Perhaps you are in the church choir or worship band. What would it be like to take your voices and instruments out into the community? Or perhaps there are helper types in your group. Why not cook together for a soup kitchen or serve with an organization like Habitat for Humanity? This isn’t simply about meeting needs. More importantly, it’s about taking the love that you share for one another– the love that points people to Jesus–and letting it find expression in the midst of community life. This is what it means to be salt and light in the world. It just happens to be accompanied by the clatter of pots and pans and the sound of hammers and saws.
Scatter Some Seeds
What if you started fresh with one or two others from church to share life in your neighborhood? This recently happened to me. A friend who was going through a difficult time invited me to a local pub. I arrived early and connected with a few regulars. It turned out the pub has a dart league, and I love darts. Before my friend arrived, I had lined up a few times to play. The two of us then invited others from church, and all of a sudden we had a small group that was naturally mixing and mingling with people from the neighborhood. The conversations that we’ve had about life and faith have been remarkable–all among people who have very little experience with Christian faith.
Don’t Forget to Have Fun
Sometimes the language of “mission” can make the Christian life seem overly serious. We need to keep a fresh view. Learning to have a more outward focus in small groups requires intentionality, but it’s not complicated, and the little moves we make are more important than we realize. They’re also fun. Let’s remember that Jesus promised an abundant life and calls us to a kind of restful work. This is as true in our small groups as anywhere. May we discover the joy of following him where he leads.

She views each challenge as an opportunity to learn and evolve, fostering a mindset of gratitude for the lessons learned along the way. Her journey of self-discovery led her to realize her innate talent for simplifying complexities—a skill she leverages through her venture, Karbhala_toh_hobhala.

Hydrophobization of cellulose for bio-based materials
Time: Fri 2020-09-04 10.00
Subject area: Fibre and Polymer Science
Doctoral student: Tianxiao Huang , Träkemi och massateknologi
Opponent: Docent Merima Hasani, Chalmers University of Technology, Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering
Supervisor: Professor Monica Ek, Fiber- och polymerteknologi
As a main structural component of plants, cellulose is naturally abundant and widely distributed on earth. Although the chemical formula of cellulose was determined in 1838, human beings have been using cellulose to produce daily necessities, such as textiles and paper, for thousands of years. In modern society, the applications of cellulose have expanded considerably as the understanding of the chemistry of cellulose has increased, and researchers have been able to alter the structure of cellulose to obtain new properties to meet new requirements. With this strategy of structure alteration, this work demonstrated new methods of hydrophobization of cellulose to prepare emerging materials with new or improved properties.Cellulose is commonly used for reinforcement in composites. In this study, a new type of microcellulose, cellulose oxalate (COX), was used to prepare polymeric composites. COX was first hydrophobized by maleated polypropylene (MAPP) or oleic acid to obtain better compatibility with the hydrophobic matrix of polypropylene (PP). It was found that a composite consisting of 60% PP and 40% MAPP-hydrophobized COX had a 16% higher tensile strength and a 106% higher Young’s modulus than neat PP. When oleic acid was used to hydrophobize COX, it was possible to avoid using toxic catalysts to complete the esterification between COX and oleic acid. This fact makes the process environmentally friendly.Similarly, considering environmental protection, natural compounds were used to prepare hydrophobic cellulosic textiles. Betulin, a kind of wood extract and by-product in the forestry industry, was used to modify the wettability of cellulosic textiles. The textiles underwent a dip-dry-cure process from a betulin solution had a static water contact angle (SWCA) of 153°. Textiles coated by a betulin-based film exhibited a water-repellency score of 80 according to a standard test from the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC). Betulin-grafted cotton textiles were also prepared, and such textiles showed not only hydrophobic properties (SWCA up to 136°) but also antibacterial properties, with bacterial removal of more than 99%.This thesis proposes that hydrophobized cellulosic materials can be used in various fields, both related and unrelated to waterproof applications. Furthermore, by-products in the forestry industry, such as betulin and oleic acid, are advocated for use because of their biodegradability and value.

The Nasdaq is off to a scorching start in 2024. The Nasdaq 100 Index is making new highs seemingly almost every week, and glamor stocks in fields such as artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductors are blasting off.
This has left some investors worried about a potential bubble. There are definitely some significantly overvalued Nasdaq stocks out there. However, there are still quite a few good buys within the Nasdaq today. These three Nasdaq stocks to buy, in particular, offer good entry points right now.
Bruker (NASDAQ:BRKR) is an interesting life sciences company. The firm is most known for its niche lab equipment, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy machines. Bruker has operated in these fields for decades and has a dominant market position for several of its key product lines.
Bruker saw a slowdown in sales over the last couple of years as various academic institutions and biotech firms reined in spending amid the pandemic and inflationary conditions. However, things are now normalizing, and Bruker announced excellent earnings results earlier this week.
Additionally, Bruker has another intriguing element. It has its Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies “BEST” division, which, while small, is rapidly growing. 2023’s excitement around potential developments in the superconductor space seemingly focused attention on the fact that Bruker is one of the few firms with a sizable line of existing superconductor revenues today.
While Bruker started off making superconductors for its own lab equipment, it has increasingly found uptake in applications such as renewable energy and electronics. Therefore, all this makes BRKR stock a great pick as shares break out higher following its surge in earnings.
One of the more unique growth opportunities on the Nasdaq is industrial company Honeywell (NASDAQ:HON). And yes, Honeywell is indeed on the Nasdaq. It transferred its listing over the New York Stock Exchange in 2021, highlighting its efforts in the technology and sustainability fields.
Honeywell’s roots go back to Butz-Thermo Electric Regulator, a company which developed the first predecessor to the modern thermostat. Over the decades, Honeywell has created all sorts of inventions including barcodes, unleaded gasoline, biodegradable detergents and aviation autopilots.
Today, Honeywell is highly focused on industrial automation. Companies like Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) have prospered due to their smart warehouses and logistics networks. In fact, Honeywell builds much of the underlying infrastructure to support these functions.
And, given Honeywell’s history, it should be surprising that the company keeps developing other cutting-edge innovations, such as quantum computing. Honeywell helped generate novel discoveries in quantum computing. It has spun that unit out into a separate firm, Quantinuum, which is pursuing solutions in cybersecurity, drug discovery, supply chain management, AI, and finance among other fields. Honeywell retains a majority shareholding in Quantinuum, and the firm just raised funds at a $5 billion valuation in January.
This combination of factors makes HON stock a great way to get growth exposure to several promising fields at a reasonable starting valuation.
Another surprising company that resides on the Nasdaq exchange is soft drinks and snack food giant Pepsico (NASDAQ:PEP).
Unlike most Nasdaq 100 Index companies, Pepsico hasn’t seen its shares appreciate meaningfully over the past year.
This is understandable. Consumer staples companies such as Pepsico have sold off thanks to higher interest rates. In addition, concerns exist that the GLP-1 category of weight loss drugs could meaningfully lower demand for soft drinks and high-calorie snack foods.
However, these concerns seem baked into the price already with PEP stock at a reasonable 21 times forward earnings. Pepsico has delivered steady earnings growth and rising dividend payments for decades on end, and this blue chip Nasdaq stock is a relative bargain in the market today.

A lot of well-known companies have had to contend with slumping share prices in recent years. After years of strong and predictable gains, many companies have seen their stocks fall out of favor with investors.
This can be due to a number of factors. Slowing sales, dwindling profits, loss of market share, and failure to keep up with shifting tides can all lead to once mighty stocks falling on hard times. While many securities are still down for the count, some are getting up off the mat and look ready to fight their way back into the good graces of investors. After declining and then languishing for long periods, certain stocks seem to have finally bottomed and are marching higher once again.
For shareholders who held on and kept the faith, this is a moment of vindication. Yet for other investors, it’s a moment of opportunity. Let’s delve into three unloved stocks with promising catalysts to bring them back into investors’ favor.
Even Warren Buffett is selling Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock.
The famed investor just disclosed in a regulatory filing that his holding company Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-A, NYSE:BRK-B) sold 10 million AAPL shares during the fourth quarter of last year. The sale made headlines as Buffett has long been Apple’s self-proclaimed biggest fan, and the company’s largest individual shareholder. Berkshire Hathaway currently holds a little more than 905 million shares of Apple worth $165 billion.
While Apple continues to be Buffett’s biggest position, comprising nearly half (45%) of his stock portfolio, the sale late last year is further evidence of the poor sentiment surrounding AAPL stock. The ill will is reflected in the fact that Apple’s share price is down 2% year to date (YTD). Declining sales of its legacy devices, such as the iPhone, are the main reason the stock is down. However, there’s reason to believe Apple’s stock is ready to rise as the company introduces its Vision Pro augmented reality (AR) headset.
The Vision Pro is Apple’s first entirely new device since the Apple Watch was introduced in 2015, and should help to boost the company’s finances and share price. Additionally, early reviews of the Vision Pro are positive.
Walt Disney Co. (DIS)
Recently, Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:DIS) delivered quarterly financial results that look to be getting the company and its stock out of the dog house with investors.
Shares of the Mouse House have risen 12% since the company issued its latest earnings print on Feb. 7. DIS stock is now up 23% on the year and trading at a 52-week high. It’s a big turnaround after the share price languished at a multi-year low for most of 2023.
Further, the reversal of fortune comes after Disney reported better-than-expected Q4 financial results. Also, it increased its dividend payment to shareholders by 50%. Starting this July, Disney will pay a semi-annual dividend to stockholders of 45 cents. That’s a whopping 50% higher than its current payout. Walt Disney reinstated its dividend late last year after suspending it in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. If that weren’t enough, Disney also announced a new $3 billion stock buyback plan. Investors are loving it.
General Electric (GE)
For 20 years, General Electric (NYSE:GE) was viewed as a value trap. From the late 1990s through to the pandemic in 2020, GE stock consistently slid downwards. It was so bad that in July 2021, the company executed a one-for-eight reverse stock split to artificially raise its share price in what was widely viewed as an act of desperation.
My, how things have changed! Currently, GE stock is up 18% on the year and has gained 75% in the last 12 months due to a remarkable turnaround at the industrial conglomerate.
At the end of January, General Electric reported Q4 2023 financial results that beat Wall Street forecasts across the board. Also, the company reported earnings per share (EPS) of $1.03, which was higher than the 91 cents consensus estimate of analysts. Revenue in Q4 rose 15% to $19.42 billion, beating forecasts of $17.67 billion. GE said the strong print was due to demand for parts and services at its jet engine business.
Much of the turnaround has come from the company separating its diverse business units. General Electric completed the separation of its healthcare business last year and plans to spin off its energy business into a separate company this April.

XOMA to Announce First Quarter 2012 Financial Results and Host Webcast on May 8
BERKELEY, Calif., May 1, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XOMA Corporation (Nasdaq:XOMA), a leader in the discovery and development of antibody therapeutics, announced the Company will host a webcast conference call on Tuesday, May 8, 2012 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time to discuss first quarter 2012 financial results and provide a detailed overview on the study designs for gevokizumab's global Phase 3 clinical program.
The webcast can be accessed via the Investors & Media section of XOMA's website at http://investors.xoma.com/events.cfm and will be available for replay until close of business on August 8, 2012.
Telephone numbers for the live audiocast are 877-369-6589 (U.S./Canada) and 408-337-0122 (international). A telephonic replay will be available beginning approximately two hours after the conclusion of the call until close of business on May 15, 2012. Telephone numbers for the replay are 855-859-2056 (U.S./Canada) and 404-537-3406 (international), passcode 72993480.
XOMA discovers and develops innovative antibody therapeutics. XOMA's lead drug candidate is gevokizumab (XOMA 052), a humanized antibody that modulates the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 beta, or IL-1 beta. In collaboration with the Company's partner, Les Laboratoires Servier (Servier), XOMA is expected to initiate global Phase 3 clinical development of gevokizumab to treat non-infectious uveitis, including the subset of patients with Behcet's uveitis, in 2012. Separately XOMA has launched a Phase 2 proof-of-concept program for gevokizumab to evaluate additional indications for further development, including moderate-to-severe inflammatory acne.
In order to retain the value of XOMA's discoveries and its future revenue potential, XOMA made a strategic decision to establish a commercial capability. To implement this strategy, the Company established its U.S. commercial operations through the acquisition of U.S. rights to Servier's ACEON® (perindopril erbumine), a marketed angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. The agreement with Servier includes a portfolio of fixed-dose combination product candidates where perindopril is combined with other active ingredients to treat hypertension. XOMA has the right to develop and commercialize these products for the U.S. market.
Through its unique discovery platform, the Company is focused on discovering and developing allosteric modulating antibodies that combine the beneficial pharmacology of small molecule drugs with the target specificity of antibodies. Among these novel discoveries are two new classes of fully human antibodies: XMetA partially activates the insulin receptor, and XMetS sensitizes the insulin receptor. These two programs represent distinct and potentially breakthrough therapeutic approaches to the treatment of patients with diabetes. XOMA is headquartered in Berkeley, California.

The IPCA is seeking urgent talks and consultation with the Irish Government about the implementation of a Super-Deduction stimulus scheme.
Change is needed quickly if we are to impact the behaviours of developers, clients and contractors. A concerted strategic plan is required to enable construction and its supply chain, to reduce the industries carbon footprint, becoming a more significant contributor to achieving the governmentscarbon neutrality goal by 2050.
The Irish Plant Construction Association (IPCA) is making formal representations to Government regarding where improvement should be made that will have a significant impact regarding the recycling and reuse of aggregates.
The IPCA believes from the studies it has seen, that the implementation and incentivisation of a an on-site recycle and reuse policy for aggregates will reduce carbon emissions by approximately 90%. Ireland like the rest of the EU has high levels of construction and demolition waste, estimated to be over 30% of the total waste generated, yet little research into the use of recycled aggregates has been undertaken. Recycled aggregates can potentially provide a cost effective and more sustainable alternative to natural aggregates and are well suited for use, for example, in pre-cast concrete products.

- Acquisition to enable creation of a fully integrated, enterprise-wide capability to discover, design and develop next-generation immunotherapies at scale by leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies across BioNTech’s therapeutic platforms and operations
- Builds on multi-year strategic collaboration between BioNTech and InstaDeep which included the formation of an AI Innovation Lab in 2020 and completion of dozens of joint projects
- Acquisition expected to add approximately 240 highly skilled professionals and a global network of research partners in the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning and data science based in the world’s leading global technology hubs
- BioNTech to pay an upfront consideration of approximately £362 million in cash and BioNTech shares, to acquire 100% of remaining InstaDeep shares following BioNTech’s Series B investment in 2022
- InstaDeep to operate globally from London headquarters as a BioNTech company post-closing, which is expected in the first half of 2023, subject to regulatory approval
MAINZ, Germany, and LONDON, United Kingdom, January 10, 2023 – BioNTech SE (Nasdaq: BNTX, “BioNTech”) and InstaDeep Ltd. (“InstaDeep”) today announced that they have entered into an agreement under which BioNTech will acquire InstaDeep, a leading global technology company in the field of artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning (“ML”). The transaction includes a total upfront consideration of approximately £362 million in cash and BioNTech shares to acquire 100% of the remaining InstaDeep shares, excluding the shares already owned by BioNTech. In addition, InstaDeep shareholders will be eligible to receive additional performance-based future milestone payments up to approximately £200 million. The transaction follows BioNTech’s initial equity investment as part of InstaDeep’s Series B financing round in January 2022.
The acquisition supports BioNTech’s strategy to build world-leading capabilities in AI-driven drug discovery and development of next-generation immunotherapies and vaccines to address diseases with high unmet medical need. The transaction will combine two organizations with a common culture and is expected to add approximately 240 highly skilled professionals to BioNTech’s workforce, including teams in AI, ML, bioengineering, data science, and software development. Through the acquisition, BioNTech will grow its network of global research collaborators in the field and expand its footprint in key talent hubs across the United States, Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
With the acquisition of InstaDeep, validated and novel BioNTech-trained AI- and ML-based models are planned to be embedded across BioNTech’s discovery platforms and connected, through InstaDeep’s DeepChain™ platform, to an integrated automated lab infrastructure. This has the objective to enable high-throughput design and testing of novel drug candidates at scale. In addition, BioNTech plans to develop novel AI and ML technology solutions which it aims to apply across key strategic and operational functions.
The acquisition builds on a successful track record of increasing collaboration between the two companies since 2019: In November 2020, the companies announced a multi-year strategic collaboration and joint AI Innovation Lab to apply the latest advances in AI and ML technology to develop novel medicines for a range of cancers and infectious diseases. The companies have jointly developed multiple end-to-end AI-based applications trained on public and proprietary datasets across a wide variety of scientific domains. These include projects to enhance neoantigen selection, ribological sequence optimization for BioNTech’s RiboCytokine® and RiboMab® platforms as well as the development of an Early Warning System to detect and monitor high risk SARS-CoV-2 variants, based on their ability to escape immune defenses and transmissibility potential, defined as fitness, which was announced in January 2022.
“Since the inception of BioNTech, we have focused on leveraging computational solutions to create personalized immunotherapies that can reach a wide patient population,” said Prof. Ugur Sahin, M.D., CEO and Co-founder of BioNTech. “The acquisition of InstaDeep allows us to incorporate the rapidly evolving AI capabilities of the digital world into our technologies, research, drug discovery, manufacturing, and deployment processes. Our aim is to make BioNTech a technology company where AI is seamlessly integrated into all aspects of our work.”
BioNTech recognized the growing importance of AI and ML capabilities early on. For example, the fully individualized neoantigen specific immunotherapy approach (“iNeST”1) is based on mRNA encoding multiple patient-specific neoepitopes. For the first patients treated with an individualized vaccine in clinical trials starting 2014, BioNTech selected the neoepitopes manually. It invested early in developing ML-trained algorithms to improve the prediction of neoepitopes with initial results published in Nature in 2017. These algorithms have been further enhanced in collaboration with InstaDeep.
“AI is progressing exponentially and our mission at InstaDeep has always been to make sure it benefits everyone. We are very excited to join forces and become one team with BioNTech, with whom we share the same culture of deep tech innovation and focus on positive human impact,” said Karim Beguir, CEO and Co-Founder of InstaDeep. “Together, we envision building a world leader that combines biopharmaceutical research and AI with the aim to design next-generation immunotherapies that enhance medical care – thus, helping fight cancer and other diseases.”
The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Upon closing, InstaDeep will operate as a UK-based global subsidiary of BioNTech. InstaDeep is expected to become the centerpiece of a growing portfolio of initiatives around AI and ML at BioNTech. In addition to BioNTech-focused projects, InstaDeep will continue to provide its services to clients around the world in diverse industries, including in the Technology, Transport & Logistics, Industrial, and Financial Services sectors.
Biopharmaceutical New Technologies is a next generation immunotherapy company pioneering novel therapies for cancer and other serious diseases. BioNTech exploits a wide array of computational discovery and therapeutic drug platforms for the rapid development of novel biopharmaceuticals. Its broad portfolio of oncology product candidates includes individualized and off-the-shelf mRNA-based therapies, innovative chimeric antigen receptor T cells, bispecific immune checkpoint modulators, targeted cancer antibodies and small molecules. Based on its deep expertise in mRNA vaccine development and in-house manufacturing capabilities, BioNTech and its collaborators are developing multiple mRNA vaccine candidates for a range of infectious diseases alongside its diverse oncology pipeline. BioNTech has established a broad set of relationships with multiple global pharmaceutical collaborators, including Genmab, Sanofi, Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, Regeneron, Genevant, Fosun Pharma, and Pfizer.

He discovered love towards music at the age of nine. Ever since then he has perceived the world around him through music. Every obligation on this path he has understood as a challenge that needed to be conquered. So far, Elvedin Šabanović, a student of Sarajevo Music Academy and a member of scholarship program of “Source of Hope” Foundation, has been very successful in doing so.
Šabanović was born in Tuzla on June 16th 1999. During his primary education, he began feeling love for music which led to him enrolling in the Lower Music School in his home town Živinice. After a little break from his musical education he continued actively playing after his 5th grade of primary school. In the year 2014. He enrolled in Music high school “Čestmir Mirko Dušek” in Tuzla. Four successful years of high school work proved to be enough for Šabanović to achieve his goal of enrolling in the Music Academy of Sarajevo, whose student he is now.
When did you discover love towards music and notes?
My love towards music appeared spontaneously during my third grade of primary school, when I was only nine years old.
You finished high school education in Tuzla? What kind of memories do you carry with you from that period?
Yes, that was a very nice period of my life, a period filled with different emotions, ranging from the nervousness and fear of the entrance exam, then happiness, pride and ultimately sadness for going separate ways with my friends and professors, some of which, apart from being excellent teachers and educators, stayed in our hearts, through all the knowledge they transferred to us, and all the happy moments they provided us with.
Many exams on the semester endings, concerts, internal classes, public appearances, it all made us different from most high schools in this country. We did not have that great working conditions, especially because the space in which our school was, happened to be shared with two other schools.
The bell that was supposed to mark the beginning and ending of classes, never rang in my school, as we did not own one. But all that, although seemingly sad, does in no way deserve belittlement, but exactly the opposite, as I am sure that very few schools can boast with such atmosphere and unity among students and the professors alike.
You continued your path at the Music Academy of Sarajevo. How satisfied are you with the result of your studies so far?
My musical path has continued due to a strong effort, work and desire. I am quite pleased with the results I have achieved so far during my first year of studies at the Music Academy of Sarajevo. I am doing my very best to achieve the best possible results. The feeling of being capable to achieve more is something I try to maintain in order to keep giving the best I can.
Studying at the Academy requires many trips and performances? How difficult is it to coordinate all your obligations with the performances in cities both in Bosnia and Herzegovina and abroad?
When you love something, and find yourself in it, it never represents a heavy burden in your life. It is an obligation but you see it as a chance to improve yourself and keep taking the road of perfecting a gift that God has given you and that you are proud to share with others.
You are also a member of Pontanima quire?
I am a member of the inter-religion quire Pontanima, a quire that respects, nurtures and at the same time connects all religions and traditions in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Which performance would you single out and for what reason?
I think that one performance stands out as the most special. That would be the performance at the opening ceremony of EYOF. I simply cannot describe the feeling of being part of such an organization and atmosphere, and being there at the opening ceremony which in turn signifies being a part of an event that will be remembered by younger generations with the same pride as the Sarajevo Olympics are remembered by those who witnessed it in 1984.
How do you spend your free time?
Although I haven’t had that much free time since starting my studies, I enjoy spending my time playing the piano, turning my thoughts into sounds, and doing so, creating my own works, or cover other works with my style. Besides that I follow football and enjoy playing football based virtual games.
Which instrument are you particularly fond of playing ?
That would be the accordion, which was the first instrument I learned how to play.
Who is your favorite artist that can be found on your repertoire?
When it comes to the worldwide music scene nowadays, I would single out Hans Zimmer, and his incredible movie scores. I also compose some movie scores in my spare time.
When it come to the regional music scene, I am a big fan of the late Toše Proeski and his songs, as well as Divanhana and their sevdah performances.
You have taken part in certain programs created by the “Source of Hope” Foundation whose member you are? How would you describe the support given to you by the Foundation?
I am more than happy to be in the “Source of Hope” Foundation’s scholarship program. With the support provided to me by the Foundation it is easier to overcome certain difficulties. Friends, as well as the administration and employees of the Foundation do their best to create a very special and positive atmosphere within the dorm, which can be felt even outside the halls of the “Source of Hope” student dorm.
What kind of music would you recommend to your peers? What would you single out, and for what reason?
I do not see myself as a supporter of only one type of music. Everybody finds themselves in something else, and that should be respected. When it comes to me, I listen different types of music based on the way I feel at different times. I would only have one suggestion to people, and that would be not to judge people based on their musical preferences, because it can be a reflection of their feelings at that particular moment, regardless of whether it was classical or any other kind of music, although different levels of musical quality definitely do exist.
Somebody understands and enjoy music by composers and songwriters who are capable of sending a message through their musical prowess, while others are more inclined to enjoy those artists who strive to be commercially successful. The difference of these two types of music is the lifespan. The former lives on much longer than the latter.

Good Morning Met
I just saw this on Gleaner’s website and I am just saddened by the news. I am not sure what drove her to this end, but hopelessness, depression and mental illness (not saying she specifically had any of those issues) are very real in the Jamaican society. I wish I had the money sometimes to provide free mental health services to my people. This just saddens me today. :-(. Please post and see if your readers may have may insight and hopefully discuss the signs of someone who may be at the brink of such a tragic end and provide the support to avert the same.
St Andrew woman commits suicide
An upper St Andrew woman has reportedly committed suicide.
The woman, Anna Kaye Lazarus, reportedly hanged herself this evening at her Jacks Hill home.
It is reported that her father found her hanging in a room at the house.
She was the mother of two boys and operated Pineapples and Onions catering service.
HERE IS SOME BACKGROUND ON MS LAZARUS
Anna Kay Lazarus was in for a rude awakening when she returned from culinary studies in Toronto. Armed with a diploma in food and beverage management from George Brown College and a bachelor of applied arts degree in hospitality and tourism management from Ryerson Polytechnic University, she got several interviews with Kingston hotels for a job. The prognosis was not promising from the interviews. “The salary they were offering me could just about have paid to put gas in my car for the week,” she recalled. It was then that Lazarus decided to venture into the catering business, with a helping hand and financial assistance from her father. That was 1994; now, 17 years later, Lazarus recently formalised a company — branding it Pineapples & Onions — bringing her uniquely inspired, fantastically flavourful creations to ever-appreciative clients. Labelling her culinary offerings as stylish and exquisite, Lazarus, widely acknowledged for her decadent desserts, remains passionate about food, but it’s not what she considers her finest accomplishment. “I would have to say raising my two awesome children, Todd and Zach, is what I’m most proud of, and I don’t say this because they are mine, but because they are both amazing human beings each with their own unique personality,” the proud mother said.
Entertain guests with Lazarus’s oh-so-fab meals. Call her at 995-4840 or email [email protected]

No, you didn’t do it perfectly. You lost your temper when you should have given yourself a timeout. You delivered scoldings when you should have offered grace. You forgot to send the lunch money, got the wrong size shoes, counted Ketchup as a vegetable, and gave in too early.
But mamas, you are always, always more than the sum of your imperfection. Look at you!
Look how you let your heart go walking around outside of your body, even when you knew they’d break it.
You carried the laundry baskets, the feverish child, the grocery sacks, the keys to souls.
You stuck to your guns, even when it was unpopular.
You never stopped hoping.
You’ve rubbed a million tiny circles into little backs, and held a thousand cold washcloths to hot foreheads.
You were on your feet cheering, and on your knees praying.
You let her keep the change, but you taught her the value of a dollar.
You didn’t know the strength you had inside of you, until your kid needed it. This is why mothers have been known to lift cars up off of their children, and why they will stand between their kids and any conceivable evil. You are Mother Bear and Mama Heart.
You slept next to her when she didn’t get invited.
You bought the Hello Kitty bandaids.
You didn’t rescue her from mistakes because you knew there was something to be learned from them.
You read the book for the 15th time in a row, and always used the funny voices.
You knew when to let him “do it myself” and when not to.
You put those plastic thingies in the light sockets.
You made him at least TRY the peas, and knew when he were secretly hiding them under his napkin.
You let him wear the cape and rain-boots to church. But you were his favorite superhero.
You let them make forts out of the furniture, and you jumped from rug to rug with them, because of the sharks.
You bought the bubble-gum flavored ibuprofen.
You taped the drawings on the refrigerator, and said it was her best one ever.
You loved. You stayed. You never gave up.
Jill Churchill was right when she said it like this: “There’s no way to be a perfect mother but a million ways to be a good one.”
You are one of the good ones.

Job seems quite confused, but at least he’s consistent on trying to figure out what’s going on with You, instead of so many people that dismiss You when things get to tough, or even when 1 things are going good for them.
“Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee” (Job 15:1-6).
Up to this point Eliphaz has been the most sympathetic of the three counselors, but now he has run out of patience with Job and denounces him more severely than before.
“Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.
Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?” (Job 15:7-13)
Job, says Eliphaz, presumes to be wise enough to sit among the members of God’s council in heaven when in reality he is no wiser than ordinary elders and sages on earth. Eliphaz chides Job for replying in rage to his friends’ attempts to console him with gentle words, which Eliphaz believes come from God Himself.
But Eliphaz has been guilty of cruel insinuations and the other two counselors have been even more malicious. Genuine words of comfort for Job have been few indeed.
“What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare” (15:14-17).
Eliphaz’s question, What is man? he had asked earlier in 4:17-19, so the question may not be a question where Eliphaz is looking for an answer, since the thinks he understands life and God. But Isaiah answers the question:
“For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear; neither hath the eye seen. O God, besides thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in they ways. Behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned. In those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags, and we all do fade as a leaf. And our iniquities, like the wind have taken away” (Is 64:4-6).
Paul also answers the unasked question centuries later:
“But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets.
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference.
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:21-23).
“The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.
And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.
It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit” (Job 15:20-35).
A poem on the fate of the wicked (8:11-19). Eliphaz’s caricature continues with a variety of figures: a belligerent sinner who attacks God (vs 24-26; a fat, rich wicked man who finally gets what he deserves (vs 27-32); a grapevine stripped before the fruit is ripe (v 33); an olive tree shedding its blossoms (v 33).
As long as Eliphaz rejects Job’s insistence that the wicked go on prospering, he does not have to wrestle with the disturbing corollary: the mystery of why the innocent sometimes suffer.
1 Jesus spoke a lot in parables, such as:
“…Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up.
Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth.
And when the sun was up they were scorched; and because they had no root they withered away.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
But other fell into good ground and brought forth fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold (Matt 13:3-8).
His disciples didn’t understand the parable and they wanted to know why he spoke in parables and what it meant.
And the disciples came, and said unto him, why speakest thought unto them in parables:
He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand” (Matt 13:9-13).
“Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower:
When anyone heareth the words of the kingdom and understand it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it.
Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit and bringeth forth some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty” (Matt 13:11-17).
Job’s seed fell on good ground; it just took a while for him to bear fruit. According to scholars, Job experienced these extremely difficult and painful times for a year.
A Levitical city on the southern border of Ephraim’s territory, Gezer’s strategic position made it a difficult city for either the Israelites or any other nation to hold for any length of time.
Adjacent to the all-important coastal route and astride the main road leading eastward into the hill country, Gezer was the scene of important events and battles both before and after the arrival of the Israelites.
Although Gezer was occupied during the Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Ages, the city grew significantly during the Middle Bronze Age (c. 1900-1500 B.C.). It was at this time surrounded by a massive wall of roughly dressed stones.
Egypt’s Thutmose III, on an inscription at Karnak, claims to have captured Gezer (c. 1482 B.C.), and the demise of the Middle Bronze city may be correlated to that event. During the first part of the Late Bronze Age, Gezer was thus subservient to Egypt.
Indeed, during the time of Amenhotep IV (aka Akhenaten; c. 1352-1336 B.C.), the kings of Gezer sought Egypt’s assistance in dealing with Canaanite conflicts.
The Amarna Letters contain their correspondence with Egypt and demonstrate that, although Egypt was nominally the overlord of the Canaanite cities, it was losing its grip on Canaan.
However, Gezer was destroyed around 1210 B.C. by a later pharaoh, Merneptah. In his victory stele he claims to have captured Gezer, and indeed a cartouche of Merneptah was discovered at this level.
At the beginning of the Iron Age Gezer was occupied by the Philistines. Examples of the distinctive “Bichrome ware” Philistine pottery (decorated in two colors) have been found there, and the city at this time (corresponding to the late judges period and the reign of Saul) appears to have been relatively prosperous.
By the time of Solomon, however, it had declined considerably, as indicated by a poorer material culture in terms of architecture and pottery. First Kings 9:16 states that an unnamed pharaoh captured the city burned it and presented it to Solomon as his daughter’s dowry on the occasion of their marriage.
Solomon strongly fortified Gezer, together with Hazor and Megiddo in order to guard the main entry points into his kingdom. These cities all provide examples of the fortification style developed by Solomon’s engineers.
Notable features include an elaborate, four-entryway gate with guard chambers and a kind of double wall known as a casemate wall. The workmanship at Gezer during this era attests to the prosperity and sophistication of the Solomonic era.
There were relatively few private” homes, however, suggesting that in Solomon’s day Gezer was primarily a governmental center.
This city was violently destroyed near the end of the tenth century B.C. in an event that was probably the work of Pharaoh Sheshonk I (the Shishakof 1 Kgs 14:25).
Important archaeological discoveries at Gezer, encompassing various time periods, include a series of ten large, standing stones from the Middle Bronze Canaanite settlement, the city gate that Solomon constructed and the Gezer Calendar, a text inscribed on limestone describing the yearly agricultural cycle.

The bodies of these holy saints were miraculously preserved after death, preparing them for the glory of the resurrection.
The natural decomposition that occurs after death can happen faster or slower, depending on the circumstances, but inevitably, as the priest says on Ash Wednesday (quoted from the book of Genesis), “You are dust, and to dust, you shall return.”
However, the Catholic Church has recognized that on rare occasions certain bodies of saints have not suffered the process of decomposition. This is deemed a miraculous event and is most dramatic in cases where the saint has been buried for decades or centuries and their body remains fully intact. A saint’s body is always investigated before they are canonized and even though the ultimate decision to canonize someone does not rest on incorruptibility, it certainly helps the cause.
According to Father William Saunders, this incorruptibility “remains a sign of the holiness of the life of the individual” and “is indicative of the person’s mortal remains being prepared for the glorious resurrection of the body.”
Here are five such remarkable saints who look like they died yesterday, but have been in the heavenly embrace of God for many years.
Saint Vincent de Paul (1581 – 1660) “Charity is the cement which binds communities to God and persons to one another.”
Saint Bernadette (1844 – 1879) “The Blessed Virgin used me like a broom, and then put me back in my place.”
St. Catherine Labouré (1806 – 1876) “One must see God in everyone.”
Saint John XXIII (1881 – 1963) “From the saints I must take the substance, not the accidents of their virtues.

For 12-year-old Yonatan Cohen and his family, this year’s Jewish festival of Hanukkah is truly miraculous. A little over two months ago, he was battling for survival after a serious car accident that left him with multiple life-threatening injuries and facing a long, arduous road to recovery.
Yonatan’s father, Ronen, says that on October 13, his wife, son and daughter had been hiking in the caves in Beit Guvrin National Park in central Israel, while he was visiting his parents in the north of the country. As his family was traveling home to Kiryat Malachi their car was hit by another vehicle. Yonatan, who was sitting in the back seat, was thrown through the side window and out of the car.
The pre-teen sustained multisystem injuries, including damage to his stomach, lungs and kidneys. “Everything stopped working,” his father told the Media Line. “His pelvis collapsed, his spleen ruptured.”
Ronen pauses to bicker with his son, who is still undergoing intensive rehabilitation in Jerusalem and remembers nothing of the accident. The father laughs as he admits that he is enjoying their minor squabble, which was over whether Yonatan could venture out alone.
“This is my second chance to raise him,” Ronen told The Media Line. “I missed the first one because I was always working. Now I have a second chance.”
Yonatan lost consciousness due to his injuries, which also included an often-fatal tear in his aorta. “Someone with a torn aorta – in a hospital – has a 50-50 chance,” Ronen said in a tear-filled voice. “Never mind someone who is not in hospital.”
It took 10 minutes for the ambulance to arrive due to the heavy holiday traffic, and the paramedics immediately began emergency treatment. It was another two hours before Yonatan was stable enough to be airlifted from a nearby Israel Air Force base to Hadassah University Hospital in Ein Kerem in Jerusalem, accompanied by a doctor. Once at Hadassah, Ronen says, Yonatan was rushed into surgery where “they saved my child.”
Yonatan was hospitalized for a month, including 16 days in which he was in an induced coma. Before he began his rehabilitation, he struggled to relate to the environment around him, often failing to even respond to his own name. Now with five weeks of therapy, his father says, Yonatan “walks and talks, he listens [and] he learned it all from scratch.”
After two months of grueling operations and challenging rehabilitation, the family is preparing for a lavish bar mitzvah in March, that not so long ago they despaired of ever seeing.
“I am telling you this is a clear miracle,” Ronen said.
And the Cohen family are not the only ones celebrating a marvel this Hanukkah.
On the other side of the world, Jews in the tiny Balkan state of Montenegro are celebrating Hanukkah in a country that asserts it has no antisemitism – another miracle in a world where hatred of Jewish people is once again increasing at an alarming rate.
In vivid contrast to comments by US President Joe Biden, who used his own Hanukkah greeting to condemn the frequency of such “vile and venom,” his Montenegrin counterpart Milo Đukanović marked the festival of lights in the capital, Podgorica, on Wednesday with a celebration of the acceptance Jewish people have found in his country.
Montenegro Chief Rabbi Ari Edelkopf credits the nation’s president as the source of the respect enjoyed by the Jewish population. This is because, in 2012, the Montenegro Jewish community and government signed the Act on Mutual Relations, which recognized Judaism as the country’s fourth official religion.
“I was [talking to] the president while we were celebrating Hanukkah with hundreds of people, Jews and non-Jews, people from government [and] ambassadors,” Edelkopf told The Media Line. “Usually those things in Europe have hundreds of police, security – securing the squares and roads are blocked. Today at our Hanukkah lighting there wasn’t one police officer outside. There is no need. No need. That’s a miracle; that is so special. There is no antisemitism here. The president has a lot of credit for that,” he said.
“We are proud of our multiethnic, multi-religious and multicultural harmony, and the fact that there is no occurrence of antisemitism in Montenegro. Just as we are proud of the fact that Montenegro is one of the two countries in Europe where there were more Jews at the end of World War II than at the beginning,” Đukanović said in his address at the Hanukkah celebration, as he watched Edelkopf light the giant public hanukkiah, surrounded by hundreds of local residents, both Jewish and non-Jewish.
Back in Jerusalem, the surgeon who took care of 21-year-old Islan Shaluf says her recovery from a great fall also is miraculous.
Islan had gone out to her third-floor balcony to photograph people below this week as they celebrated the outcome of the World Cup final, when she fell three stories to the ground, causing what could have been life-changing breaks to her spine.
But thanks to cutting-edge medical technology and the dedication of her doctors, Islan will be able to walk again.
“She had broken five to six bones and was very lucky because we were able to reduce the fracture using robotic technology,” Dr. Josh Schroeder, senior surgeon and spine specialist at Hadassah University Hospital, told The Media Line.
Islan also is appreciative of the care she received, from a team that included Jewish and Arab medics working together.
“I am so grateful to the doctors at Hadassah for saving my life,” she told Israeli media. “All my dreams were nearly shattered when I realized how serious my injuries were and, thanks to them, I know that I can go back to walking, running and being independent like before.”
Islan’s operation involved the use of Israel’s Mazor X Stealth Edition, an advanced robotic guidance system devised for spinal surgery.
Schroeder says that speed is of the essence in such medical emergencies, “so we don’t lose nerve tissue.” He even compares the handling of Islan’s injuries to the way in which they react when someone has suffered a stroke.
The doctor was initially reluctant to term Islan’s recovery as a miracle. “We are born to be skeptical,” he said. “I’d say she is a very lucky young woman.”
Yet Schroeder admits that when relating her case to a colleague who asked if Islan was now a paraplegic, he changed his perspective. “No,” he recalls, telling his colleague, “she is walking, and I’d say that is a miracle.”
A technician who also was involved in Islan’s treatment told Schroeder that he has visited dozens of European institutions using robotic technology, and the Mazor X Stealth Edition is the most advanced system he has seen.
And that, too, is surely miraculous.

CARE & CLEANING
I want to believe that my jewelry is special. Each piece is imagined, meticulously manufactured and finished in my workshop in Lisbon, Portugal. Over time, jewelry may begin to show signs of wear, but if you follow the simple steps below, your jewelry will remain stunning for a long time.
Jewelry is delicate at its core, which is why we encourage customers to take extra care in their daily use. Be careful not to damage or scratch the jewelry, remove it and store it if you plan to do heavier work or work that could damage the pieces, such as lifting weights, gardening, etc. All metals become dull or tarnished if they come into contact with chemicals, so it is best to remove jewelry when taking a shower, putting on perfume, applying cream or exercising. It is also recommended that you remove your jewelry at night to prevent it from getting scratched or tangled. I hope you find this information useful. Don't hesitate to talk to me if you have questions about any of these recommendations.
Over time, the metal becomes dull, but it can be cleaned easily and quickly, returning it to its original state. To clean your jewelry, add a few drops of washing up liquid to warm water and gently clean with a soft toothbrush. This will help remove any dirt that may be accumulated under precious stones or in cracks in the piece itself. Dry the parts carefully with a soft cloth.
Despite being durable, silver can be damaged. Be aware of when you use the pieces and where you store them so that they always maintain a polished and shiny finish. As with most precious metals, silver can become tarnished. It probably won't happen as much if the silver pieces are used regularly — using the pieces is part of your care, as incredible as it may seem. You can clean them with warm water and a special silver cloth.
Gold has a beautiful color that deserves the best care to always be impeccable. It does not stain or oxidize, but it may lose its natural shine. As with silver pieces, be careful how you use the pieces and where you store them — gold is by nature a little more delicate than silver, so it is more susceptible to marks. You can clean your gold pieces with warm water and wipe them with a soft, lint-free cloth. One of the services I offer is cleaning jewelry of this type. For more information, talk to me.
The gold plaqué, or plaqué, wears out over time, but there is always a way to ensure that it lasts as long as possible through the use, conservation and cleaning of pieces with gold plaqué. Always remove the pieces if you are going to put on perfume, apply cream, take a shower, swim or exercise. Store your pieces in a safe place when you are not using them. Gold-plated pieces can be cleaned with warm water and a silver cleaning pad. However, be careful as this cleaning can wear away the gold layer over time.
Cleaning in the Atelier
It's important to me that you love your jewelry as much as I do, so I want to help you keep it as pristine as possible. In my studio in Lisbon, cleaning is possible (there is an associated cost). Whether you want a clean piece, re-plated or simply analyzed for damage, I'm here for you. Talk to me and we'll take care of it.

Job ID: 27834
Closing date: All applications must be submitted no later than March 15, 2024 for consideration
The Center for Place, Culture and Politics at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY) has an open position for a Research Associate (Post-Doctoral Fellow) for academic year 2024-2025, with the possibility of renewal for a second year. The Center seeks applicants who work on issues related to the theme of “Anti-capitalist Environmentalism,” While the planet seems saturated by capitalism’s many material and social toxicities, including the green variants, anti-capitalist environmentalism — although frequently not thus-named — also exists around the planet. We invite candidates from any disciplinary or interdisciplinary training. Please visit https://pcp.gc.cuny.edu for details on the Center and https://pcp.gc.cuny.edu/seminar-theme/ for details on the theme of “Anti-capitalist Environmentalism.”
The role of the Research Associate (Post-Doctoral Fellow) is integral to the yearly running of the Center. In addition to conducting their own research, the Research Associate (Post-Doctoral Fellow) will be expected to attend and contribute to the weekly seminar at the Center. Duties will also include active involvement with other Center initiatives, such as organizing conferences and symposia, and liaising with community organizations and scholars. The incumbent will report to the Director of the Center for Place, Culture and Politics.
The Center, established in 2000, is interdisciplinary and strives to provide an intellectual forum for the discussion of a wide range of vital contemporary issues. Each academic year, faculty and graduate student fellows from different disciplines explore a specific theme at the Center through a weekly seminar. The Center also hosts prominent national and international scholars and activists who have done significant work related to the theme and invites distinguished outside lecturers to present their work. Over the past several years the Center has sought to work more closely with social movements in New York City and beyond on the theme of “The Right to the City” and other contemporary urgencies.
The Graduate Center is the focal point for advanced teaching and research at CUNY, the nation's largest urban public university. With over 35 doctoral and master’s programs of the highest caliber, the Graduate Center fosters pioneering research and scholarship in the arts and sciences and prepares students for careers in universities and the private, nonprofit, and government sectors. The Graduate Center’s commitment to research and scholarship for the public good is exemplified by its more than 30 centers, institutes, and initiatives, including its Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC), a 200,000 square-foot facility in upper Manhattan, designed to promote collaboration among scientists in global research and innovation. CUNY values diversity and invites applications from underrepresented groups who will enrich the research, teaching, and service missions of the university.
The Graduate Center (GC) benefits from highly ambitious and diverse students and alumni—who in turn teach hundreds of thousands of undergraduates every year. Through its public programs, the Graduate Center enhances New York City’s intellectual and cultural life.
All full-time and part-time CUNY staff are expected to work in-person at their campus office 70% of their work time. For full-time staff, this is equivalent to 7 out of 10 days of in-person work in a two-week period (e.g., 7 days in-person, 3 days remote). This hybrid work schedule is subject to change.
Doctoral Degree in a related field and demonstrated research ability.
A preferred candidate should have demonstrated scholarship or achievement related to the theme “Anti-capitalist Environmentalism.” The candidate should also have the ability to cooperate with others for the good of the institution. Candidates should have their doctoral dissertations (or equivalent) in hand and have completed their dissertations within the last five years.
CUNY's benefits contribute significantly to total compensation, supporting health and wellness, financial well-being, and professional development. We offer a range of health plans, competitive retirement/pension benefits and savings plans, tuition waivers for CUNY graduate study and generous paid time off. Our staff also benefits from the extensive academic, arts, and athletic programs on our campuses and the opportunity to participate in a lively, diverse academic community in one of the greatest cities in the world.

Casual style men’s outfit
To briefly get aware of the meaning of casual wear we can vaguely describe it as outwears that are inappropriate for more formal occasions.
Casual wear is mostly comfortable, perfectly elegant, and something that suits for everyday use. You will have to mix and match outfits to achieve a unique look with comfort and individuality. You can explore and discover different clothes which work best for you and suit your body. There are no restrictions or strict rules you just need to take in account the guidelines for wearing casual outfits that are worn outside the privacy of your home. You can either choose to keep it simple or go for something exciting and exotic. You can decide your casual outwear depending on the occasion and venue. This will make you determine staying in between being overdressed and underdressed. If you have any doubts, just make sure that you can better be overdressed than underdressed on any occasion.
PRO TIPS TO ROCK YOUR CASUAL LOOK
Here is some expert advice from the panel of fashion stylists to look great while dressing casually:
1. Begin with your goals: This will be the backbone of your look. Decide what type of look you want to achieve, do you want to display your confidence? Do you want to express that you care about the occasion you’re attending? Or you just want to focus on maximum comfort?
2. Dress accordingly: Choose an outfit that fulfils your goals!
3. Invest on long-lasting and durable items: Many items in your closet won’t last more than a season. So you better not spend too much on them. Instead buy those that will last longer and are high in durability such as premium quality Captain America Jacket, high-end sneakers or a branded watch. Focus on quality over quantity and choose wisely between what is worth your money.
4. Start from bases: When setting up your closet, begin with adding neutral colours to it such as black, blue, grey, white and brown for your apparels. Such colours never go out of fashion and are easy to mix and match.
5. Personalise your look: once you have settled the foundation of your casual look, you can add the touch of your personality to the outfit by using high end fabrics like cashmere and silk. These should be taken into account for your accessories such as belt, watch strap, socks, etc.
6. Consider the event before finalising your outfit look: Before preparing your outfit for an event you must consider the environment and context by understanding what is expected and designing according to it.
7. Always look for the perfect fit: there is nothing more disappointing than seeing a man pull out in the right style but wrong fit. Your efforts of dressing in a good-looking outfit will be ruined if its too baggy, oversized, too tight or uncomfortable. If you have spent time on achieving a great style then make sure the execution is right too.

Q3. What do you call a casual attire?
Mentioning the basic which will include a pair of jeans with a classic polo shirt or a cool T-shirt.

The food you offer is a big factor for your corporate event. There are many different options and people to please, the bar is high.
Below we outline a few key things we consider when selecting our event menus.
Elements to Consider When Selecting the Menu
Type of Corporate Event
Ask yourself these questions:
How formal or informal is your event?
Are you having a networking reception and want people to mingle or is it an awards banquet dinner where everyone will be seated and watching an awards presentation?
This will play a big role in the menu you select and the way your food should be served; if it will be a selection of heavily passed hors d’oeuvres or a sit-down banquet-style meal
- Attendee locations -Are the attendees local or from out of the country? Your audience may prefer a more mainstream, international dish
- Event audience or attendee type – If your audience consists of customers and partners, you may need to raise the bar on food quality. Also, consider the tastes – sophisticated? Laidback?
- Dietary needs – Do your guests have any dietary needs or restrictions? Make sure you can accommodate all those requests! It is always good to have a variety or meat and vegetarian options on the event menu.
- Venue – Your venue and theme will also play a role in the menu list you offer. You want to make sure the type of food you choose goes well with the feel of your event venue. You would not want to serve BBQ for a formal sit-down awards banquet hosted at an art gallery, would you? Instead maybe put together a combination of meat/seafood carving stations, salad station, along with a few sides.
- Destination – The event destination should also be something you consider when selecting your menu. Consider incorporating dishes local to that destination to give your attendees a taste of the cuisine.
Support the community you are hosting your event at by using local ingredients where possible which also cuts down on your event’s carbon footprint.
Size of Venue
You need consider the size of your event venue when considering your menu selections.
Are there space restrictions you need to consider?
Once you have laid out the event floorplan to include necessary furniture, bars, walkways, stage, entertainment, etc. then determine what amount of space you have left, if any for food set-ups. The amount of space will dictate if you can use buffet set-ups or various stations.
If the space is limited, then you probably need to consider a plated, served meal.
- Time of day – Is it an afternoon or evening event? Dinner time or perhaps just during cocktail hour? For example, for a lunch event at a conference you want a full meal but something on the lighter side so your attendees aren’t ready for a nap afterwards, so consider going with a soup, salad and wrap or sandwich buffet option. For a networking event that is from 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM which is not quite dinner time you will want to consider a handful of different passed hors d’oeuvres.
- Duration – If you only have 45 mins to serve 5,000 people for a seated, plated dinner, you will want to pre-set some of your courses such as salad and dessert. Pre-setting will then dictate what items you select.
- Season – Warm soup and smores in the cold winter months and fresh salad, spring vegetables and fruit forward desserts in the sunny spring months. Requesting ingredients and menu items from your venue that are in season also helps to reduce your event’s carbon footprint.
Depending on your audience, type of event, or health and food safety concerns, there may be only certain food service types you want at your event.
For instance, self-service buffets may not be an option, or maybe you need to consider only pre-packaged food for your event. The way your food and beverages are served could also dictate what type of menu you select.
The event’s budget may be the deciding factor if you can offer a full bar or beer and wine only. Or if that extra carving station that requires an attendant fee is an option for your event or not.
Unique and Tasty Food Ideas for Your Next Event
As event planners, our job is to ensure our event is THE ONE that stands out from any other event going on in our industry that year. And food is definitely one area where we can get creative.
Here are some unique menu ideas to help you make a splash with your event:
We all remember where we were when we first learned about the cronut, you know, that spectacularly delicious gastronomical invention that combined a flaky croissant with a chewy donut. After that, we began seeing specialty donut shops popping up all over the country because the demand for artisanal donuts was there. Why not give your event attendees something unique and sweet and oh-so-good?
Like donuts, here is another breakfast item that people are happy to eat at any time of the day. The great thing about toast is it’s a blank canvas that can be dressed up with infinite topping possibilities. Some of your attendees might want a smear of avocado while others a smear of chèvre cheese. Bespoke toast is the new bagel bar.
Most people love a good sandwich, and sandwiches are a great portable food option that allows your guests to meander about and network. But sandwiches can also be sort of… boring.
Bánh mì is Vietnamese for “bread”. It’s a delicious sandwich that typically includes traditional Vietnamese ingredients like pickled daikon, cilantro, and spicy chilis. This street food will make any crowd happy.
Food trucks will never go out of style. What started out as gastronomical hipness has become a must-have at many events. Maybe running up to a truck with money in hand reminds us of being a kid when the ice-cream truck came around. Did you know that food trucks are one of the top 3 types of food-related experiences Americans go out of their way to check out? Bring a food truck to your event and bring smiles to your attendees.
You’ve probably seen these Japanese lunch boxes with the different compartments. Traditionally each compartment will contain rice, noodles, sushi, or pickled veggies. It’s a nice way to offer a healthy lunch with a variety of flavors and textures.
Reach out to local chefs (if your budget allows reach out to a celebrity chef) that will conduct a hands-on demo for your guests. Your attendees will feel like they stepped into a cooking show on the Food Network because they will be able to interact with the chef and ask questions throughout. Of course, then they’ll be able to eat something truly amazing and memorable.
Keep your guests awake and alert throughout the event with a coffee bar that has it all: pour-overs, cold brew, nitro coffee, and all manner of non-dairy milks. A great way to offer the best of the best is to recruit the local hipster coffee shop in town.
Have a Pizza Party
Sometimes event planners try and get real fancy with the food, when all people want is pizza and wings and a variety of sodas. Even top brass CEOs and industry leaders like to roll their sleeves up and dive into a pepperoni pie and 2 dozen hot wings.
Unique catering ideas will really help your event stand out. This is just a small fraction of cool menu options. We’ve got a TON MORE up our sleeve, so just reach out to us if you need a little help feeding your guests!
Don’t forget to utilize your venue catering contact for suggestions – this is not their first rodeo so if you let them know what you envision, they will be able to help with recommendations.
Lastly, remember most menus that you are presented are flexible and can be tweaked to fit your needs.

When we talk about social media, many things come to mind: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and many others. But why advertise on Facebook and Instagram specifically?
With the right advertising strategy, these social media platforms provide huge opportunities for small business owners and marketers.
But you may ask if you had to choose one social media platform, what would that be and why? The simple answer would be we should assess the social media sites in terms of popularity and return on investment (ROI).
Table of Contents
The best metric to assess the popularity of a certain platform is in terms of monthly active users (MAU). This is very important for social media advertisers because the more users are on a platform, the more people you can advertise to and the more diverse your audiences.
Related: How to Start a Dropshipping Business
ROI is an approximate measure of how much return you get for every penny spent. For social media ROI, it is defined by the formula:
Social Media ROI = (Net Result – Cost) / Cost
Or, quite simply, if I sold $400 worth of toy products through Facebook and I spent $100 for ads (labor and fees) & $80 for product costs, my ROI would be 2.2 or 220% (320 – 100 / 100). This means I would earn more than double for every dollar spent on Facebook ads!
Now let us compare the top social media platforms in these two metrics.
According to Statista, the most popular social media site is Facebook, with a massive 2.7 Billion MAU. It is followed by YouTube & WhatsApp, each platform has a whopping 2 Billion MAU, Messenger with 1.3 Billion MAU, and WeChat with 1.06 Billion MAU.
A 2017 survey of senior ad buyers conducted by Cowen and Company shows that Google and Facebook deliver the best ROI. 48% of the respondents said that Google has the best ROI, while 30% also believed that Facebook is the best social media advertising platform.
Now it’s crystal clear that Facebook is the top contender regarding popularity and ROI. But not only that, I consider Facebook the most powerful advertising platform, and here are four reasons.
Why Advertise on Facebook and Instagram
“I’m already running ads on Google, why bother with Facebook and IG?“, you might ask. Well, here are four reasons why.
1. Cheap, Laser Targeting
Whereas Google only allows you to display your ads for specific keywords being searched by users, Facebook allows you to target audiences according to its demographics such as age, gender, education, location, relationship, job title, etc.; behaviors such as digital activities, purchase behavior, travel, etc.; and most importantly your audience’s interests such as business industries, entertainment, shopping, food & drink, technology, and many others.
Now that is a highly-targeted audience for your brand!
Facebook ads are also very cheap. The average cost per click (CPC) is around $0.64! Compare that to Google Adwords is around $2.32.
The CPC is a no-brainer if your site is optimized for conversion.
2. Highly Customizable Campaigns
For every campaign, you choose an objective. This is indispensable because not a single ad works for every campaign.
There are 11 objectives under three campaign categories: Awareness, Consideration, and Conversion. And each campaign objective has different ad variations.
You can customize the ad copy, headline, description, creatives, and call to action (CTA) at the ad level.
So what does this tell us? High customization enables more control for advertisers to craft the right ad for the right audience. This means it has a higher chance of achieving the campaign objective at the lowest possible cost.
Also, there are a lot of improvements in ad creatives. You can choose between a single image, carousel, video, instant experience, or catalog for e-commerce stores.
3. Scalable and Predictable Results
If you have an eCommerce store running Facebook ads, how do you know if your campaigns are profitable? Simple, check your return on ad spend or ROAS!
Recommended reading: How to Sell in Shopee: A Complete Guide
How do you know if campaigns should be killed or scaled? Again, check your ROAS.
The analytics part of Facebook ads is extremely powerful in that you can track every single activity on your ads, such as engagement, cost per click (CPC), cost per thousand impressions (CPM), add to carts, app installs, page views, purchases, cost per purchase, ROAS and many others.
With these powerful features, there is no hard guessing what campaigns to stop and to scale up!
Update: With the launch of App Tracking Transparency (ATT) on iOS 14 in all Apple devices, Facebook’s ad tracking is no longer 100% accurate. Hence, it’s more challenging to track conversions but there are recent developments to alleviate this problem.
4. Retargeting Campaigns & Lookalike Audiences
What is the secret sauce of Facebook ads? Facebook Pixel.
This simple line of code tracks specific activities on your ads and website and can be used for retargeting campaigns and lookalike audiences.
A user who visits your site, adds items to a cart or makes a purchase can be retargeted when he visits Facebook again.
You can also create a lookalike audience. They are users who look like current customers, website visitors, or page fans.
This is a powerful feature, especially for warm audiences, as they are more likely to convert than cold audiences.
Update: Since more Apple users are opting out of Facebook ad tracking, creating and targeting lookalike audiences are more challenging than ever. But there are also specific ways to get away with it.
Facebook is a really powerful social media platform with advanced advertising features. It has the most significant monthly active users and enhanced capabilities than other platforms. Advertising is also very cheap, providing the greatest bang for your buck!
For serious business owners and marketers, Facebook should be taken advantage of as it offers many possibilities for brand outreach and a highly targeted audience.

Casper City Council Considers Minor Changes to Finance Policies
In its continued review of financial administration guidelines, the Casper City Council at its work session Tuesday looked at procurement of goods and services, change orders to projects, debt management, and investments.
"What we're trying to do is present to the council a guidance as to how these policies should be formulated," said Tom Pitlick, the city's financial services director.
This is more housekeeping that a wholesale revision of how the city handles its money, Pitlick said.
"Some of these policies we have now date back to the 1990s or the 2000s and a lot of things change, a lot of it is just cleaning up with titles, there are some thresholds that need to be changed to bring them up to state statute if council desires," he said.
For example, Pitlick recommended council change, by resolution, policies in procurement, according to the agenda for the work session:
-- Amend the policy for procuring items costing more than $1,000 to $20,000 to $2,000 to $35,000.
-- Raise bidding for procuring items costing more than $20,000 to $35,000.
-- The current policy requires all sole-source purchase requests to be referred to the council. Pitlick said the city manager should have the authority to approve a sole-source purchase request of up to $35,000. The Legislature allowed that in 2008. Any amount greater than that would need council approval.
Regarding change orders, the council would not only consider changes to a contract price, but also look at changes that would affect the original scope of a project.
Pitlick also recommended setting guidelines for determining the count of contingency funding and contract extension time frames that can be approved by the city manager.
The city's debt management policy is still good, and only minor changes are needed such as updating staff titles.
Regarding investments, Pitlick recommended setting up an "investment advisory committee" to craft investment policies that comply with state law while maximizing returns, evaluate the city's portfolio, and look at selecting firms providing investment management services.
"It's prudent to bring in some expertise from the outside to help give a little more guidance," Pitlick said.
The city cannot invest in anything that does not have a guaranteed return on investment, which limits the city to safe but low-return Treasury bonds or government-backed securities, he said.
The city council will continue to review its finance policies at future work sessions.

In October 2022, Ngāti Hauā Iwi Trust (HIT) received seed funding for Stage 1 from the Manaaki Kaimai Mamaku Trust, enabling the NHIT to focus on three core issues: pest animal presence, risks to taonga species and minor pest plant concerns. Despite delays due to weather events, this period allowed for more comprehensive planning, including the hiring of a Project Team Leader and the adoption of a name for the project, Te Māhuri.
The Phase 2 project aims to expand upon the initial objectives by covering a 600-ha area over three years. Goals include pest eradication, monitoring of taonga species and mapping of rongoā plants, among others. Collaboration with Wairere Mahi from Ngāti Hinerangi has been established, owing to the shared interests and history in the project area.
Metrics for success have been defined as, trap catches for pest control to employment opportunities for Ngāti Hauā whānau. Monitoring protocols are in place for each goal, including but not limited to, bi-annual and quarterly assessments for pest control, annual tracking of employment rates and one-time development of a rongoā mapping system and assessment of the overall forest ecosystem health. This detailed planning aims to ensure that the project not only meets but exceeds its objectives, ultimately restoring the mauri of the Kaimai Mamaku area.

BY SALEH ALHASSAN
When Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed took oath of office as the Executive Governor of Bauchi state on 29 May, 2019, under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he left no one in doubt of his desire to transform the state, by ensuring prosperity in both human and capital development.
Despite the challenges in the area of infrastructural decay in Bauchi State, Senator Bala Mohammed began his administration on key areas of security, infrastructure, agriculture, economy, health, education, water, electricity and housing. He turned the State into a construction site, providing a road network into towns and villages, and thereby justifying the confidence reposed in him by the electorates.
Seeing what has been achieved in the State, I can proudly say that the voters did not make a mistake by trusting Bala Mohammed to lead them. Bauchi is indeed in safe hands and there is of no need for a change of leadership. The people of Bauchi State are now proud to showcase their Governor as a great manager of human and material resources who has displayed an unprecedented political will to lead from the front, and ensure the provision of the wherewithal to lift the State to greater heights.
Today, Governor Bala Mohammed has so far recorded more than 300 completed and ongoing giant projects that excelled him to the admiration of even his most uncharitable critics. He has become a reference point and a manual in top-notch management in Nigeria.
My appeal to the people of Bauchi state particularly my Fulbe Pastoralists brothers is to allow Senator Bala Mohammed to complete the task he started, by ensuring his administration is better equipped and prepared to continue to manage unforeseen future challenges in terms of technical know-how and availability of requisite infrastructure. Bauchi needs him the most, and the people are prepare to hand him a second mandate with the sincere conviction that all the laudable projects started by his administration will be completed, and more impactful policies, programmes and projects will be implemented in the second tenure.
Governor Bala Mohammed’s massive revolution in infrastructure and other comprehensive strides in agriculture and economic improvements, education and skills acquisition drives, transportation and electrification projects and several interventions against poverty are evident in the nooks and crannies of the State.
There is no doubt that Governor Bala Mohammed has broken the mould of political leadership in terms of socio-economic, infrastructural and political development of the state. Anyone from anywhere who was last in Bauchi state Eight years ago and he now returns may not navigate his way, because of the amazing metamorphosis the state has undergone.
Governor Bala Mohammed proved to be a game changer and a beacon of hope to the citizens of Bauchi State. With the coming of Senator Bala Mohammed the Sabon Kaura to Miri road which was a nightmare to citizens is now history. Similarly, the abandoned CBN roundabout to railway roundabout road project, which crippled business activities to the extent that all filling stations on the road were shut down, was completed within the shortest possible time. Also among the projects done by the Governor included the 58-kilometer road linking Yalwan Duguri, Badaran Dutse, Birim, Bajama, Kumbala, Kundak, Wurno and Burga communities of Tafawa Balewa and Alkaleri local governments; Sade to Akuyam in Misau local government as well as GRA Azare to old Kano road in Katagum local government area of the state. Moreso, Raji quarters to NITEL road, Gombe to Maiduguri bye-pass were all completed. These among other earlier projects were seen as glad tidings to the dividends of Democracy the governor had resolved to bring and had indicated how perfect and auspicious the start of his administration was.
Within three years, out of patriotism for progress, the Governor has completed 6.5 Kilometer Tafawa Balewa, Shira, Jama’are road; 11.6 Kilometer Boi-Tapshin road; 11.2 Kilometer Bogoro-Lusar-Malar road; 2.65 Bununu township roads; 2.5 Kilometer Sade township road; 25.5 Kilometer Udubo-Gamawa road and Warji-Gwaram road. Other road projects include the 3 Kilometer Disina road and Disina township road; Azare township road; the 5 Kilometer Alkaleri-Gwaram-Gokaru road and Burga-Duguri road. These are not all!
On the education, as the saying goes “no society can develop beyond its level of education.” And in order to resuscitate the lost glory of education in Bauchi, immediately he came in, Governor Bala introduced digital attendance whereby fingerprint devices replaced attendance registry booklets. This was meant to easily track workers’ attendance and to discourage absenteeism among primary and secondary school teachers as well as weed out ghost workers. Governor Bala also earlier in his first year, flagged off the disbursement of five Hundred Thousand Naira to each of the 1,320 schools in five Local Government Areas of the state, who are the beneficiaries of the Schools Improvement Project grants, a World Bank project. He also provided 6.7 hectares of land for the construction of Northeast UBEC Model School in Bauchi so as to fast track the execution of the project. And with the commitment of the governor towards overcoming the challenges facing the sector, Bauchi State Government secured the award of three million US Dollars for the implementation of Better Education Service Delivery for All, a federal government project
In order to provide conducive environment for teaching and learning, Senator Bala hit the ground running by embarking upon renovation of Primary, Junior and Senior Secondary Schools that were in dilapidated condition. Some of the renovated Schools within Bauchi metropolis include Baba Sidi Primary School, Dutsen Tanshi Primary School, GDSS Zannuwa, Dawaki Primary School, GDSS Kofar Wambai, Government Comprehensive Day Secondary School, GJSS Model Fadamar Mada among others across the State. In Dass Local Government, Kagadama (A); Bagel Primary School; Baden (B) Primary School; Bagel (B), Galadima; Darussalam (B) and Kagadama (B) Primary School are among the schools renovated. Additionally, to ensure that women are not educationally lagged behind, women education centers in Kirfi, Katagum, Jama’are, Ningi, Dass and Misau local government areas, were renovated. Similarly, renovation and construction of blocks of classrooms has taken place in various Primary Schools in Tafawa Balewa, Bogoro, Darazo, Gamawa, Tatagum, Ganjuwa, Misau, Dambam, Alkaleri, Toro, Kirfi, Warji, Shira, Zaki, Giade, Ningi and other local government areas across the state.
In the same vein, the governor has also been disbursing scholarships to indigene students of Bauchi state studying in tertiary institutions across the country.
In an effort to capture the out of school children particularly from the Pastoralists communities a special summer program was introduced by the government.
Governor has also done well in the area of healthcare services by ensuring stronger and sustained collaboration with the World Health Organization and over 20 other International Development Partners and Donor Agencies working in the state. This collaboration had yielded a positive result, which included the actualization of a robust infrastructure for polio eradication and immunization, fight against Tuberculosis, Leprosy project and other diseases.
Moreover, Senator Bala has renovated and completed the State’s College of Nursing and Midwifery. The College was built to stand the test of time, equipped with sophisticated facilities and provided with necessary infrastructure for the smooth operations.
Similarly, the present administration has renovated 126 primary health care centers in bauchi, constructed 12 new world class hospitals and a primary health care center in Dorawar Dillalai, Bauchi. Additionally, a number of general hospitals across 6 local government areas have also been renovated.
On the issue of perpetual power supply in Hospitals in Bauchi state which was bedeviling the smooth conduct of medical affairs, the Governor has changed the narrative by ensuring 24hr uninterrupted power supply in all Public Hospitals across the state with a view to enhancing effective health care delivery.
During the agricultural revolution, Governor Bala launched an agricultural policy document covering key sub-sectors of agriculture such as irrigation development, quality supply, crop pest and disease control, commodity livestock and fisheries development among others. To complement this, the governor is committing a huge sum of money to the procurement of farming needs including pesticides and enhanced seedlings which will yield more produce to the farmers.
On an annual basis, the governor procures over 18,000 metric tonnes of assorted fertilizer for farming season and he has always directed the state fertiliser blending company to sell the commodity at a subsidised price and directly to the farmers to save them from the trouble of shylock marketers.
In order to address the terrible condition of civil servants and low-income earners, Governor Bala constructed over 2500 housing units across the 6 emirate councils of the state.
As the saying goes “water is life”, the Bauchi Government, under Bala Mohammed, in collaboration with the World Bank, executed a N20 billion water project to boost water supply in Bauchi metroplis. Part of the projects was the distribution of a 150-kilometre pipeline within the Bauchi metropolitan, the laying of 1,000-millimetre diameter transmission mains from Gubi dam to Warinje reservoir and construction of a seven million-litre reservoir at Buzaye Hill.
An extensive rural water access in partnership with the African Development Bank is currently being executed across all the 20 Local Governments.
The track record of Bala Mohammed receives nothing less than appreciation and approbation. The dream of people of Takanda village, Toro local government area; Sade in Darazo and Nasaru, Ningi local local government, of having power supply in their villages has come to reality with the coming of the workaholic governor Bala. Moreso, there was extension of electricity supply to Inkil, Mara Huta, Sabon Layi and Baraya Quarters in Bauchi as well as Maje Community in Ningi and Magama Gumau in Toro local government area. This has transformed the living standard of the people of those areas.
There is no gain saying that the journey so far has been good. Governor Bala Mohammed has justified the confidence reposed in him, and met the huge expectations of Bauchi people. He deserves another term to continue with the people’s policy.

Hello...........my third post today.
This is a simple card with a single quilled flower made with 2mm strips, I liked how delicate it looked!! I have taken white card stock base, scored and folded it, then folded the front panel and handcut an oval shape.Used shocking pink and white acrylic colors and only using my fingers painted the front. Inside is painted with red and white mixed randomly.
the acrylic colors have given the paper a pretty pearly sheen, have used pink half pearls to frame it. The colors and the excessive ornamentation is reminiscent of Victorian art to me!!

The Senior Presidential Advisor for Special Operations, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, on Thursday participated in a blood donation drive alongside the Special Forces Command (SFC) soldiers.
The initiative aimed to contribute to the national blood bank, addressing critical shortages expected during the month of December.
Medical officials from Nakasero blood bank emphasized the importance of maintaining an adequate blood supply during this period.
Lt. Col. Dr. Richard Katungye, the SFC medical director highlighted the December deficit in blood reserves and emphasized the need for organized groups, particularly school children, to sustain safe donations.
Dr. Katungye underscored the impact of school children's absence during December on organized, safe blood donations. He cited instances from the past, such as the blood shortages experienced at Mbale regional blood bank in 2020 when schools were closed due to the Covid-19 lockdown.
"During the month of December, school children are at home, and they are the major source of organized, safe blood donations," stated Dr. Katungye.
The SFC doctor emphasised the importance of safe blood as ‘vital in saving lives of expectant mothers, children and casualties of road traffic accidents.’
Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba's participation in this noble cause not only sets a commendable example but also underscores the importance of addressing the blood supply challenges in Uganda.
This is not the first health drive the UPDF General has taken part in. At the height of COVID-19 in the country in March 2021 when Ugandans were skeptical about embracing Covid vaccines, Gen Kainerugaba who was the SFC commander at the time publicly received his first Covid-19 Vaccine, encouraging all officers and men and Ugandans in general to embrace the vaccine.

Chairman of Kansas Democratic Party Resigns
The chairman of the state Democratic Party has resigned after efforts to revamp the party’s message for Kansas, where Republicans hold big majorities. KPR’s Stephen Koranda reports.
Recently, Kansas Democratic Party Chairman Larry Meeker had been using the phrase “red state Democrats,” arguing that Kansas Democrats are different from Democrats in traditionally blue states. He said there was room in the party for people with different views about abortion and same-sex marriage. But Democratic activists pushed back, saying Meeker was abandoning some of the party’s core principals. The executive director of the state Democratic Party, Kerry Gooch, did not respond to a request for comment, but issued a statement saying he respects Meeker’s decision to “put the priorities of the party first.”

“With memories of having tried authentic Mughlai food in his childhood days along with his family in places like Delhi & Mumbai, he would always feel nostalgic about the fact that the same experience of having that delectable cuisine hasn’t been created in Kashmir, hence came into picture Grills Bistro & Kitchen,” said Mr. Adnan Mir
He said the project took over three years to complete and both Adnan after teaming up with the co-founder Irfan Wani, himself an entrepreneur, having his expertise in Post Harvest Management/Controlled Atmosphere Storage & Systems.

Khrew, Bijbehara residents seek reversal of transfer orders of doctors
Srinagar: The residents of Khrew area in Pampore hamlet of Pulwama district and K-Kalan Srigufwara area in Bijbehara hamlet of Anantnag district have demanded reconsideration of transfer orders of doctors posted in their areas
The residents of Khrew said that Dr Ishtiyak Qadir, a child specialist was performing his duties in Khrew and Pampore very well and hardly any child was being taken to any other hospital in the area.
People of the whole Pampore area will suffer with his transfer, they claimed.
Sajad Ahmad, a resident of Khrew who is also member of People’s Welfare Trust Khrew said that Dr Ishtiyak has been performing his duties and was catering to the entire population of the area.
“It is very unfortunate that doctors who perform well and give patients a sigh of relief are being transferred while no action is being against the dead wood,” he said.
Similarly, the residents of K Kalan said that Dr Rashid was performing his duties and used to remain available for patients round the clock.
They said his presence at the PHC lead to development of hospital and many new things and facilities were ensured for the patients due to his efforts.
Nazir Ahmad, a local resident said that Dr Rashid receives call of any patient even during the dead of night and he remains available for patients always.
“We have seen several doctors but the way he is performing duties at the hospital, no one showed such dedication,” he said.
Locals from both the areas requested the higher ups to reconsider the decision of their transfer for public welfare.
Meanwhile, an official of the health department said that they have received demands from these areas about reconsideration of transfer decision and accordingly demands have been forwarded to higher ups.
“It is upto the higher authorities to take any decision in this regard,” he said.

Miniature horse on Big Island in the running for 2024 Pet of the Year
March 1, 2024, 12:00 PM HST
There’s a pint-sized pet on the Big Island that’s proving size doesn’t matter when it comes to making a big impact in the community and beyond.
Darby, a 16-year-old miniature horse owned by Queen’s North Hawai‘i Community Hospital Marketing and Communications Manager Lynn Scully and her husband Rick, turns heads and brightens up people’s days almost every time he’s trotting around his hometown of Waimea.
He’s a superstar at the North Hawai‘i hospital, where he visits every other week as a certified animal for its pet therapy program. Scully said he gets a lot of attention when he makes his rounds and not just from the patients he’s helping heal.
Staff members sometimes run out from their stations or offices just to see and pet him.
“He’s just a little horse who just is able to bring everybody a smile,” said Scully. “It’s really something so simple. … It’s just that connection between people and animals. There’s something magic about that.”
Darby’s work at the hospital has now landed him the prestigious honor of being one of 100 therapy animals throughout the United States to be nominated for the title of 2024 Pet of the Year through Pet Partners, a nonprofit based in Washington State that is the world leader in pet-assisted therapy training and evaluation.
He’s also the first therapy animal from Hawai‘i to ever be nominated for the nationwide award since it began in 2022.
The six-week competition raises funds to support the nonprofit’s therapy animal program. The pet that raises the most money by March 18 will be crowned the winner.
As of late afternoon Thursday, Darby had raised $10,013 so far and was No. 1 on the leaderboard. Tara Waggybottom, a dog from Washington State, was in second with $4,120 and Xeli Pensack-Rinehart, a cat from Colorado, was in third place at $2,260.
Darby is one of just two mini horses nominated for the title this year. There’s also a miniature Mediterranean donkey still in the running.
The 2023 Pet of the Year was Rye Guy, a dog from Minnesota that raised nearly $15,000 to claim the crown. The 2022 winner was a dog from Texas named Happy Happy Hazel, raising more than $33,000.
This year’s winner will be announced March 19 during an online celebration where all pets will also be honored for their fundraising efforts and dedication to the human-animal bond.
Darby is a gentle, calm and reliable mini horse with a big heart that enjoys interacting with people, all qualities that make him a great therapy animal. He is also unique, as Scully explained that 92% of the therapy animals certified through Pet Partners are dogs.
All people and pets who volunteer for the Queen’s North Hawai‘i pet therapy program must be trained and certified through Pet Partners to participate.
“I am extra excited because I am the first nomination from the state of Hawai‘i!” Darby, speaking through the Scullys, says on his Pet of the Year profile page. “I’m also the only Pet Partners miniature horse in Hawai‘i visiting patients, but I’d like to change that. … I’d like to have more of my animal friends helping out, raising the spirits of people in need, and this is where you can help!”
Funds raised by Darby will directly support Pet Partners therapy animal teams, who visit all kinds of people throughout the country, providing comfort that only four-legged furry friends can offer.
“At Pet Partners, we are motivated by connection, compassion, and a commitment to sharing the human-animal bond with everyone who can benefit from time spent with an animal,” said Pet Partners President and CEO C. Annie Peters in a press release. “Thanks to fundraising events like Pet Partners Pet of the Year, thousands of registered therapy animal teams are able to make millions of visits annually.”
Scully said if her mini horse could speak for himself, he’d say he wants more animals to join his adventures on the Big Island and elsewhere.
“He’s an animal, so of course he has no idea of any of this,” she said. “I mean, he does like the extra attention, but he doesn’t know. But he’s a wonderful partner to get the word out.”
Scully is excited that Darby was nominated for Pet of the Year. She’s equally as thrilled that it gives her a reason to talk about pet therapy, for which there’s a lot of room for growth in Hawai‘i.
There aren’t as many pet therapy teams in the islands as there are in other states, so bringing greater awareness to how it benefits people and the opportunity to bring more teams on board is a big reason why she decided to enter the competition with Darby.
Scully wants to spread the love around, literally, and her main goal is always to “recruit, recruit, recruit.”
“I want more teams here because I see the benefit that it brings people,” she said. “It’s not just people in hospitals. It’s all kinds of places where that little bit of attention, affection, interaction with that animal just brightens that person’s day.”
If Darby were to win, it would provide an even greater platform for recruiting more volunteers around the island and throughout the state.
There’s also a little bit of state pride shining through: “We would love to see Hawai‘i, you know, kind of get on the map,” Scully said. “If the Pet of the Year was from Hawai‘i, that would be fabulous.”
She said the support Darby has gotten so far is amazing. Scully never expected it, but thinks it’s because an animal’s love resonates with people.
The Waimea community, with its long paniolo, or Hawaiian cowboy, heritage and love affair with horses, has especially stepped up in support of its mini hometown hero.
“So many people in our area have had horses or lived on a ranch or lived next to a ranch, or their father had a ranch or horse,” Scully said. “There’s just a little bit more deeper of a connection, so I think that’s even more meaningful for people. I can tell from the feedback we’ve already gotten with the campaign people are excited.”
She is being cautiously optimistic since there are about two weeks left of the fundraising competition and, speaking for Darby, said he’s excited about it, too. But he needs everyone’s help to make it happen.
“He can only do so much, and that’s where us humans come in,” Scully said. “He would say he can visit people and make them feel good and bring a smile to their face, but the rest is up to us humans to help out with the program.”
You can meet Darby in person and help him win the Pet of the Year crown during a special fundraising event at Honoka‘a Public House, which, coincidentally, is owned by a couple who share their last name with the Waimea mini horse, Michelle and Keith Darby, who Scully knows personally.
The Pizza, Pints and a Pony! event will be from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday at the pub, located in Unit G at 45-3490 Māmane St. in Honoka‘a. As the name promises, there will be pizza and pints, and horseshoe-shaped cookies will also be available for a donation.
If you can, bring some Pumpkin Spice Cheerios, which Darby got a hankering for while training to be a therapy pet. They’re his favorite treat. If you don’t have access to the seasonal cereal, he’s also a fan of Altoids mints.
Scully will also be on hand to provide information about the competition and pet therapy and the opportunities that exist to participate.
Darby was fervently checking his profile page Tuesday to see where he stood. Scully said he’s pretty computer savvy, but she did have to help him with typing. His hooves aren’t that good for clicking on the keyboard.
“Anything can happen,” she added. “That’s why we got to really push it. We got to push it.”
If you can’t make it Saturday and still want to help Darby be crowned 2024 Pet of the Year, you can donate online until 7:59 p.m. March 18.

“Just like a single cell, the character of our lives is determined not by our genes but by our responses to the environmental signals that propel life.” – Bruce H. Lipton
If you just read that and you’re scrunching your eyebrows trying to figure out what it means then first of all, relax your face weirdo, and second of all let us help you break it down. Because when you really start to understand what Bruce is saying here it’ll make you lift those eyebrows in revelation rather than scrunch them in confusion. What matters more than eyebrows is the implications of what a statement like this actually means and what we can do with this information to welcome transformation into our lives (and maybe to our eyebrows too, because, yes eyebrow transformation is legit).
Before we break it down let us cuddle you up and tell you a story. A story of long ago. Several weeks in fact, when we got to do something really cool. We interviewed the speaker of the above quote for an episode of Millennial Mentorship and it. Was. AMAZING! That’s right, your favorite sister duo got to interview a big time guy like Dr. Bruce Lipton. We’ve followed his work for over a decade and have loved his books, youtube videos, teachings and philosophy for many years. Meeting him in person was a dream come true and hearing him speak into his research and findings was invigorating. You know what else is invigorating? Dude’s got a loving energy that joyously bursts from him in every moment. Surely he has his down moments but wow, the unexpected win of the interview was feeling the presence of someone so immersed in delight for the unfolding experiences and opportunities in front of them that it was powerful and inspiring.
But back to that eyebrow scrunching quote up there. If you’re like us you’re reading along and it’s all going good until you try to interpret what: ‘environmental signals that propel life’ means. Qué? What does that even mean?
Through his research and observation of cells Dr. Lipton made the connection that what drove cells behavior in the petri dish was that it was receiving information from, and responding to the input from the environment. The outside frequencies or signals are hitting the membrane of the cell, and being received by that cell and then processed and turned into some kind of reaction or behavior. So kind of abstract but makes sense right? Cell gets zapped and zap causes change in cell.
What’s cell zapping got to do with anything? Turns out only everything. You see different zaps cause different reactions. Zap a cell with yellow and it turns yellow. Zap it blue it turns blue. The cell turns yellow or blue based on what zapping gun is pointed at it, NOT because it was meant to be a blue or yellow cell. It is a receiver awaiting a zap to tell it what color to be. How this translates to our lives on the human level is that as the cells of the organism of humanity WE are also being zapped by our environment. Now granted our environments are craaaazy more complex then a petri dish, but the advantage of being a human is that you get to DECIDE WHAT YOUR PETRI DISH LOOKS LIKE!
We’re sorry to caps yell that at you but you are not a cell. You are not a victim. YOU have control over the zappers! You choose the ones you get zapped by. Even when a bigger zap comes you choose how it expresses in you. You are a self-aware, conscious human being with free will and independence and aptitude and capacity and you are able to change your environment friends. You have the power! Now before we get all Disney-villian level rant about power over here, we want to encourage you to read or listen to Dr. Bruce Lipton’s book: Biology of Belief and to tune into the episode next week to best understand not only this sliver of his work but so much more from such a profound thought leader. Find links for his materials here and watch for our interview to drop on Tuesday next week!

How to Choose the Right Size Harness for Your Dog?
Harnesses are the safest way to walk your dog. They give you ultimate control on walks. Collars cause undue damage to your dog's trachea.
These are the key measurements:
- Chest: Measure around the body of the dog with a flexible cloth tape measure. You should be starting at the bottom of the rib cage and going up and over the back and then back down to where you started.
- Neck: Wrap the tape around the thickest part of your dog’s neck and take that measurement. The part right on top of his shoulders, not where he would normally wear his collar which is narrower.
- Weight: While chest and neck measurements are the most accurate ways to fit a dog, many harness companies use weight to guide sizing. If you’re having trouble getting your furry friend on the scale, weigh yourself first, then pick up your pooch and weigh the two of you together. The difference will be the weight of your dog.
Walk safely with a good fitting harness.

What Makes a Food or Ingredient Keto?
When you follow the ketogenic approach to food, you'll need to base your diet around low-carb foods. When unsure whether to include an ingredient in your ketogenic lifestyle, there are several factors you should consider:
1) Keep your carbohydrates low
Depending on your own carbohydrate limit which can vary between 20 and 50 grams of total carbs (or 15 to 30 grams of net carbs), you can include a variety of meats, dairy, eggs, vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds.
If you are not sure whether to count total or net carbohydrates, read this post on total vs net carbs
2) Always consider the serving size
When counting carbs, follow at the amount of net carbohydrates "per serving" such as one cup of broccoli, two eggs, half an avocado, one pork chop, or a quarter cup of berries.
Some foods are seemingly high in carbohydrates (per 100 grams) but you will only need to use a small amount when used in recipes. For example, dried porcini mushrooms, garlic or spices are all ideal for the ketogenic diet because the amount of carbs per serving is low.
Want to learn more? Here's a detailed list of foods you should eat and avoid on a ketogenic diet
3) Quality over quantity
Food quality is just as important as the amount of carbohydrates in your diet. Base your diet around healthy whole foods and avoid or at least minimise the consumption of ultra processed foods, especially if they are high in sugar.

Top 10 Anti Inflammatory Foods
Boost your healing with a Nourishing Diet 💚
Inflammation is the Root Cause of almost all health issues. If you're trying to recover from an illness, injury or improve your overall health markers, eating a diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods will support your bodies healing processes and aid your recovery! Here is a list of the top 10 anti-inflammatory foods we recommend:
1. Leafy Greens 🍃
Rich in protein, vital vitamins and minerals, leafy greens also are rich in antioxidants that fight inflammation.
2. Olive Oil / Coconut Oil 🫒
The virgin varieties of coconut and olive oil have the maximum amounts of anti-oxidants. They are great for combating inflammation. These oils fight free radicals that are responsible for causing arthritis, osteoporosis, and cancer.
3. Berries 🫐
Berries contain antioxidants called anthocyanins. These compounds have anti-inflammatory effects that may reduce your disease risk.
4. Cruciferous Vegetables 🥦
Cruciferous vegetables such as green cabbage, broccoli, bok choy, brussels sprouts, kale, and cauliflower provide anti-inflammatory benefits which can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and other chronic diseases
5. Green Tea ☕
Green tea is one of the most anti-inflammatory beverges you can consume due to it's high levels of antioxidants
6. Turmeric/Curcumin 💛
Curcumin has powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects that make it as potent as ibuprofen. It's great for relieving pain (especially joint pain) and has few, if any side effects. Combine it with black pepper to activate even further anti-inflammatory benefits
7. Dark Chocolate 🍫
Flavanols are responsible for chocolate’s anti-inflammatory effects and help keep the endothelial cells that line your arteries healthy
8. Avocados 🥑
Avocados are a good source of vitamin E, a micronutrient with anti-inflammatory effects
9. Nuts & Seeds 🌰
Almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans, pistachios and walnuts contain high amounts of fiber, calcium, magnesium, zinc, vitamin E and omega-3 fats which all have anti-inflammatory effects. Chia and flaxseeds are both high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are proven inflammation fighters
10. Tomatoes & Red Bell Peppers 🍅
Tomatoes contain nutrients and compounds such as lycopene, beta carotene and vitamin C, all of which act as antioxidants and exert anti-inflammatory effects in the body. Red bell peppers are also extremely high in antioxidants. If you're sensitive to lectins peel and de-seed them to enjoy all the benefits!
Including all these foods in your diet even if you're not trying to fight inflammation will be very nourishing for your gut health because they are all packed with essential vitamins and minerals.
Wishing everyone a wonderful healthy week ahead!

Adapting to Evolving SEO Trends
Search engine optimization (SEO) is a dynamic field that continually evolves to reflect changes in search engine algorithms, user behavior, and technological advancements. As we delve into 2024, staying abreast of the latest SEO trends is essential for maintaining visibility and relevance in the digital landscape. From optimizing for voice search to prioritizing user experience, embracing emerging SEO trends can help businesses enhance their online presence and drive organic traffic to their websites.
Optimizing for Voice Search
With the proliferation of voice-enabled devices and virtual assistants, optimizing for voice search has become a top priority for SEO professionals. Consumers are increasingly using voice commands to perform searches, and businesses that adapt their SEO strategies accordingly stand to gain a competitive edge. Incorporating long-tail keywords, natural language queries, and featured snippets can help websites rank higher in voice search results and capture valuable voice-driven traffic.
Embracing E-A-T Principles
Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-A-T) have emerged as critical factors in Google’s search algorithms. In 2024, prioritizing E-A-T principles is essential for establishing credibility and reliability in the eyes of both users and search engines. Publishing high-quality content authored by industry experts, earning authoritative backlinks from reputable sources, and fostering a positive online reputation are key strategies for enhancing E-A-T and improving search rankings.

With mobile devices accounting for a significant portion of internet traffic, mobile optimization remains a cornerstone of effective SEO. Google’s mobile-first indexing prioritizes the mobile version of websites for ranking purposes, making it imperative for businesses to ensure seamless mobile experiences.

The MQ call itself runs on CP. Normally making a call into IDMS, we will swap from User/TCB mode to System/SRB mode. To make the MQ call we had to swap back to TCB mode. When linking the IDMSMQI stub with your application, when making an MQ call we will switch from user mode to system mode and back, but we will stay in TCB mode for the entire call, even when processed by another TCB. We did not spend enough time in SRB mode to justify swapping back and forth.

Hello again from Hawaii.
Today I went for a short hike as the weather here has been very cloudy, windy and rainy.
I decided to take some closer photos along the trail.
These mushrooms are not edible but interesting to see them as they are not always found here.
These purple flowers are found along the trail and they add color to the forest.
Looking into the dense forest with lots of ferns covering the open spaces.
This is the trunk of a very large paper bark tree. The bark peels off like paper in small sheets.
This type of moss only grows in the shadows of fallen trees that are decaying.
A wild orchid with nice lavender color petals.
The leaves are very large, but the flowers are small.
I usually see these only in windy areas under the shadows of trees.
I think this is a lichen.
I have never seen this before but I thought it would be interesting to take a photo of it.
Does anyone know what this is?
These flowers also add to the colors along the trail.
Although this is a small plant, the older leaves are orange, and the small green leaves are the new growth for spring season.
When it grows tall, all the leaves will be orange and it add a lot of color to the trail.
In the shade, moss grows on this tree trunk and this long bladed fern emerges out of the moss.
It seems that the moss provides some water to the ferns.
New growth of pine needles also signals the spring season is here.
And these white colored flowers add contrast to the greenery of the trail.
This is just a small sampling of a short nature hike.

If you were to ask, “What’s your favorite season?” Without hesitation, I’d answer, “Summer.” And it is. But my second-favorite time of the year is when Summer becomes Fall. The cool mornings, sunshiny afternoons, and cool-again evenings are pretty close to perfection.
I love so many things about fall. And one thing I’ve come to love as a mom is Fall on the Farm. Murray State’s agriculture students do a fabulous job putting on this annual event. We’ve been several times …
2008 : When I decided I didn’t need my sweater and I pushed my 17-month-old girl in a stroller.
2009 : When we needed layers of clothing and we were a little more than a month away from becoming a family of three.
2010 : When my boys wore shorts and our family of four included a 3 1/2-year-old girl and an 11-month-old boy.
We didn’t go last year because we were vacationing in Maine and Boston. While that vacation was certainly worth missing a few hours on the farm, we were glad to be back among the petting zoo, pony rides, pit of corn kernels, barn slides, corn maze, and horse-shaped tire swings … you know, if we weren’t going to be vacationing in the Northeast.
What do you love about fall?

I hope you’ve all enjoyed the long weekends and have had opportunities to get out and ride (when the rain has allowed) but also some time with friends and family celebrating the recent coronation.
Whether you are pro or against the idea of a monarchy, I don’t think anyone can argue that we do pomp and ceremony better than anyone else, and we should do; we have been doing it for over a thousand years.
Something else we do well is a training weekend, and thank you to Pat, Trevor and Paul for helping arrange our Norfolk trip, which was held over the first Bank Holiday weekend. I am not sure which one of you arranged the weather; I am just thankful one of you did.
There is no such thing as a perfect LAM trip, but we try hard.
Getting the right number of single, share, observer and associate places is a logistics nightmare. Add into this the need to feed and water us and then the changes that occur (some a day before departure) it’s a wonder anyone steps up to organise these events, but as I have said, thank you to those that do and a special thanks to Trevor who worked his keyboard to the bone. Thank you, Trevor; you are a legend!
It is also nice to see test passes trickling through from those associates who attended the weekend and used them for what they are laid on for, a way of supercharging your progress to test, and the two passes (as at the time of writing) would seem to back that up. Well done both.
The next event is the Kent Weekend which is a non-residential weekend.
This event will run for two days; we would ask that you only book one day, either Saturday or Sunday; However, IF you feel that you need two days of OR's, then book both, but please bear in mind that you will progress more quickly if you take time to consider and put into practice the feedback given to you on the day.
You and possibly one other associate will be allocated to an observer for the day, or possibly both days, depending on the Observer's availability for a full day of training. The meeting point will be the Toby Carvery, where an all-you-can-eat breakfast will be served from 9 am at the cost of £5, and once you and your Observer have had your briefing (and finished breakfast), you should be out on the road by around 10 am.
This event costs £25 per day and is bookable through the LAM shop. Spaces are limited to the number of Observers we have available on the day, so hurry and book before it's too late.
This event is marked as closed on TRACKER, but we will add your name once you have booked through the shop and are allocated a slot.
Please note that breakfast is payable to the venue, not to LAM, and whilst it is all-you-can-eat, this is not a challenge; eight sausages and three fried eggs might look great on your plate, but perhaps not four hours later deep in the wilds of Southeast England.
So, what to look out for in June? Well, the trees and the pollen are in full “bloom.” That brings a new set of hazards to us.
From blocked noses and inconvenient sneezes, usually just as you’ve planned, the perfect three-stage overtake.
It is amazing how far one can travel in the split second of a sneeze and, in that split second, how much can change in your information.
Likewise, that beautiful unobscured vision you had across your favourite corner or the vision into or out of the junction can disappear quite quickly when the hedges start doing their hedge thing, so take nothing for granted!
The environment we ride in is, like the information part of IPSGA forever changing and consequently, so should your riding plan.
Of course, the best thing about the summer is the longer and lighter days, so don’t be afraid to get out and practice more or ride more, lead a ride more, discover more and come back and tell us so that you can lead a ride to wherever it is you found.
Have fun, and see you soon; fingers are crossed for dry but not too hot fun on our bikes.
It will soon be September, and the Wales weekend will be upon us

The closest background to our passage is in OT descriptions of “the day of the Lord,” which seem to envisage an obscuration that affects the entire world, not just a particular country (see Joel 2:1–2, 10, 30–31; Amos 8:9–10).Marcus, Joel. Mark 8–16: A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary. Vol. 27A. New Haven; London: Yale University Press, 2009. Print. Anchor Yale Bible.
Many scholars have noticed the connection between the events surrounding the death of Jesus and the day of the Lord. The main difference between the two events, however, is that the signs of the Cross were literal whereas the signs associated with the various days of the Lord in the Hebrew Scriptures were figurative.
One of the most obvious examples of this is in Isaiah 13, a passage about the fall of Babylon to the Medes in 539BC:
For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not flash forth their light; The sun will be dark when it rises And the moon will not shed its light. Thus I will punish the world for its evil And the wicked for their iniquity; I will also put an end to the arrogance of the proud And abase the haughtiness of the ruthless. I will make mortal man scarcer than pure gold And mankind than the gold of Ophir. Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, And the earth will be shaken from its place At the fury of the Lord of hosts In the day of His burning anger.Isaiah 13:10–13
In the last article, I gave a brief summary of the signs of the Cross and some additional information to assist in understanding the signs when possible. Today, I’ll make a few points regarding how these signs relate to the day of the Lord. I understand, in making these arguments, that they will not fully satisfy those who don’t already agree with my views on prophecy, but perhaps they will be of some help regardless.
Here is my major point I’ll be making: throughout the Old Testament, the language used to describe the signs was figurative, but at the Cross the events literally happened. These signs served as literal, physical manifestations of the spiritual realities that had been made possible because of the Cross.
The Darkness and the Earthquake
In the prophets, the sun being darkened and the moon turning to blood signified the removal of Kings, Queens, and Princes, or you could just say the principalities and powers.
The literal darkness surrounding the death of Jesus signified the defeat of the “prince of the world.”
Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.John 12:31
Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil…Hebrews 2:14
As I mentioned yesterday, one can’t really separate the Cross from the day of the Lord. The Cross (including the resurrection and ascension) are eschatological, meaning they relate to the time of the end (Hebrews 9:26). Jesus’ death, for instance, could be seen as a fulfillment of the seventieth “week” of Daniel 9, a passage about the “abomination of desolation.”
Jesus, along with Peter and John, speaks of darkness in connection with His coming again (parousia).
But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.Matthew 24:29–30
The sun will be turned into darkness And the moon into blood, Before the great and glorious day of the Lord shall come.Acts 2:20
I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind.Revelation 6:12–13
So the literal darkness associated with the Cross foreshadows the figurative cosmic darkness that accompanies the fall of Jerusalem. Just as the literal death and resurrection of Jesus point to greater spiritual realities, a battle that was being waged in the spiritual world (cf. Ephesians 4:8), the darkness and earthquakes signify the removal of the powers of the world.
Using this same method (literal events at the Cross >> spiritual events at the second coming), we can gain insight into the other signs of the Cross.
I argued yesterday that the first veil was torn in the temple (the entrance into the holy place), not the second veil (the entrance into the holiest of all). The reason I gave for this conclusion was that nobody would be able to see the second veil torn except for the priests. The crowds at Passover, on the other hand, would see the first veil torn.
Today. I’ll give my theological argument for this conclusion.
The first veil separated the area into which the common Israelite could travel from the holy place where only the priests could enter. The most holy place, where God’s presence was, was only accessible by the High Priest once a year. The tearing of the first veil opened the way for all believers to be priests in the kingdom. It signified a changing of the priesthood.
For when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of law also.Hebrews 7:12
For, on the one hand, there is a setting aside of a former commandment because of its weakness and uselessness (for the Law made nothing perfect), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.Hebrews 7:18–19
Now all believers regardless of sex, social status, or citizenship are allowed into the Holy Place. The Cross of Jesus marked the beginning of the royal priesthood, as Peter called it in 1 Peter 2.
The second veil was not torn at the time of the Cross because entrance into the most holy place would not be granted until the coming of the Lord.
First, notice the description of the tabernacle from Hebrews 9.
Now even the first covenant had regulations of divine worship and the earthly sanctuary. For there was a tabernacle prepared, the outer one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the sacred bread; this is called the holy place. Behind the second veil there was a tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies, having a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden jar holding the manna, and Aaron’s rod which budded, and the tables of the covenant; and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat; but of these things we cannot now speak in detail.Hebrews 9:1–5
This is one of the most frustrating passages in the Bible because the Hebrews writer recognizes the significance of the various items in the temple, but the writer doesn’t go into detail! But that just goes to show how we don’t need to know everything.
Let me give it a shot, though!
So, the first tabernacle is where the priests did their daily rituals. The second tabernacle is where the High Priest went in once a year.
Now when these things have been so prepared, the priests are continually entering the outer tabernacle performing the divine worship, but into the second, only the high priest enters once a year, not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.Hebrews 9:6–7
Jesus is our High Priest, as Hebrews 7 argues, and He entered the most holy place at his ascension.
But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.Hebrews 9:11–12
For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us…Hebrews 9:24
This is shown ever so briefly in Luke’s account.
And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven.Luke 24:50–51
Jesus took on the role of High Priest in offering Himself “outside the gate” (Hebrews 13:12), going into the most holy place, and then appearing for a second time.
so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.Hebrews 9:28
The Anchorage Yale Bible Commentary points out this reference to a “second appearing” combines two types of associations: apocalyptic and priestly.
On the Day of Atonement, people gathered around the high priest as he came out of the inner sanctuary (Lev 16:18; Sir 50:5). Christ’s second coming is depicted in similar terms.Koester, Craig R. Hebrews: A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary. Vol. 36. New Haven; London: Yale University Press, 2008. Print. Anchor Yale Bible.
Jesus’ second appearing is inseparable from the Cross! They are the same “day”!
Now, why is this important?
Remember, the first veil being torn allows all believers into the holy place. The second veil being torn, however, would allow entrance into the presence of God! Notice what the Hebrews writer argues,
Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.Hebrews 10:19–22
The “holy place” or “sanctuary” in verse 19 is the inner sanctuary, the most holy place. This way was “inaugurated,” but when would it be completed? This is the same kind of language used in Hebrews 7 about the “changing” of the covenants or in Hebrews 8 where he writes, “When He said, ‘A new covenant,’ He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear” (Hebrews 8:13). All of this language speaks to a time of transition. It began, or was inaugurated, by the Cross, but it is consummated at the second appearing.
Notice the following:
The Holy Spirit is signifying this, that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the outer tabernacle is still standing, which is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience, since they relate only to food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation.Hebrews 9:8–10
The author is speaking of the “present time” not the past time. This passage is about an ongoing reality at the time of writing, not a time previous to the Cross. The Old Covenant had yet to vanish away. But there was hope! When the temple would fall at the coming of the Lord, the way into the sanctuary would be revealed!
Jesus’ coming again finishes what was begun at the Cross. The first veil was torn at the death of Jesus, but the second veil would be “torn” when the Old Covenant would vanish away. God’s presence would be made available to all, not just one man of one family of one tribe of one people.
I’ll cover this in an article by itself! This is a bit longer than I expected.

Sepsis is a medical emergency
Sepsis is often diagnosed too late, because the clinical symptoms used for sepsis diagnosis like raised temperature, increased pulse or breathing rate, or white blood cell count are unspecific. In children, the signs and symptoms may be subtle and deterioration can be rapid.
Even a minor infection can lead to sepsis. Sepsis is a common, but under recognized condition. This is due to confusion about the signs of sepsis among patients and healthcare providers, lack of documentation of sepsis as a cause of death, inadequate diagnostic tools, and inconsistent application of standard clinical guidelines to treat sepsis.
