SUV Circuit Board The ULTIMATE hot tub experience Balboa SUV circuit board with M7 Technology. Used in 2002 Euphoria CS, Reward CS, and Destiny CS Models with SUV1UR1B Chip
Alternate Part Numbers
- 52754 (Balboa)
Finding and identifying a replacement Hot Tub Circuit Board (PCB)
If you are looking to replace a failed PCB on your Hot Tub’s spa pack, then quite often identifying the part that you need can be the hardest thing.
Firstly, you are looking for a model number on the actual circuit board itself. Having the model or serial of your hot tub is not going to help at this point, you need to find the number on the PCB itself.
Now, with certain brands of PCB, the number of the replacement PCB that you need is not going to match identically the one you are replacing. Why is that I hear you ask?
Well, normally, it is an updated version. This means that it might have updated firmware on the PCB or be a later revision. Normally, this means that the part number would be slightly different. This is usually indicated with a “12345678 -x” at the end of that part number where x indicated a firmware revision.
In some cases, there will be some following letters on the part number of the circuit board, “12345678 -x MAS” this can indicate that the PCB was used for an OEM meaning it was produced for a certain hot tub manufacturer and the letters identify the manufacturer.
This means if you source an original PCB, it will not have the letters, but will in most cases work just fine.
It can be confusing I know!
What if you can’t find a model number?
If you can’t find a model number on the PCB itself, then you need to look for a model number on the spa pack. Normally, there is a sticker on the outside of the spa pack that tells you the current ratings and input voltages etc and this will have a model number.
In general, most spa packs in the USA are manufactured by Balboa, Hydro-Quip, ACC or Gecko. I know I am generalising here, but if you have a spa pack that has the brand of your hot tub on, it will be an OEM so the key is identifying who made the original box.
From there, you can normally find an original PCB that you will be able to switch out.
For example, the Balboa VS (value series) is a very popular spa pack that has been used by multiple hot tub manufacturers under their own brand names. Whatever they have called it, strip it back and it is still a Balboa VS.
One of the most important things you can do when you are looking for a replacement is to visually inspect the PCB that you have versus the picture online of the replacement you are considering. They need to look the same even if there are the differences in firmware revisions or OEM part numbers, you should be visually replacing a PCB that looks like the one you have.
Configuring a replacement Hot Tub Circuit Board (PCB)
When you get a new PCB, you are more than likely going to need to configure it. Most PCBs have a number of different modes and setups that the can operate in. For this, you will need to manual or spec sheet to guide you.
For things like DIP switches, most of the time you can copy the settings from your original circuit board. You are looking for things like setting the voltage as a lot of PCBs can be configured to run on both 115V and 230V.
You may need to move jumpers or even wires to configure voltages – the key here is that you read the schematic and don’t expect the PCB to just work out of the box – it usually doesn’t.
Troubleshooting a Hot Tub Circuit Board (PCB)
Here are some common things you will see when you replace a PCB on a hot tub.
You press the buttons on the topside control and they don’t control the right parts (pumps or blower etc) – this is a mode configuration thing and you will either need to change some DIP switches on the PCB or an internal or low level programming mode on the topside control. Check the manual for how to do this.
You turn on the hot tub and it trips the breaker – it is not common for a new PCB to fail out of the box (I have not seen one yet!) However, a common mistake is that the voltage has not been set correctly. If it is set for 115V and then you try and turn it on, the current draw will be a lot more (twice) than expected and the breaker will trip.
To check this, unplug all of your kit – heater, pumps, blower and then turn on the PCB. If it trips with nothing plugged in, usually the voltage is incorrectly set and what is happening is that live current is being sent to the ground – because you have 4 wires into the PCB rather than 3. Current on the ground loop causes the trip. Check the settings to make sure it is configures for 230V.
It might not trip until you physically turn on a pump or a blower. As mentioned, if the pack is set to 115V and your pump is meant for 230V, it will draw twice the current at half the voltage and trip your breaker. Check the manual for info on how to set the voltage.

It’s In The DNA
Imagine a world where your doctor knows what medications will ultimately work the best and possibly has no adverse side effects. Thanks to advances in genetics and physiology research, personalized medicine is on the rise and becoming readily available. Enter pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing. Exit trial-and-error, and “one size fits all” medications.
Pharmacogenomic testing studies the patient’s drug metabolizing genes by tracking the process of drugs being metabolized (or broken down) within the body. The test answers all sorts of questions including why a patient may not be having success with a medication, or is having severe side effects when other patients are having no issues with the same medication. No two patients are alike. They may have similar or even the same symptoms, but often the medication that worked for one won’t work for the other, or one will have adverse reactions where the other didn’t. A patient’s genetics will dictate how a medication works and whether or not they will experience reactions. Adverse reactions have been a real concern for healthcare providers as they are the 4th leading cause of death in the United States.
What exacting is PGx testing? It’s the study of how genetics may influence the efficacy of drugs.
In simple term, it’s the study of how a patient’s genes affect their body’s response to medications. This advance in testing means that the healthcare provider avoids the trial-and-error approach when prescribing medication. This informative tool helps determine the patient’s metabolism profile which in turn helps predict a personalized treatment while taking into consideration sensitivity to medicines that could produce create adverse side effects.
Many factors will determine how a patient responds to medications. Including:
Other medications currently used
Kidney or liver illness
Why should you consider having a PGx test? The obvious reason is that it will guide your health care provider in preparing a personalized solution to your health issue. The test results will help:
Determine serious side effects
The healthcare provider adjust the dose of a current medication
Recommend alternative medications
We are pleased to add this service in our practice. The testing is simple and can be done in our office or virtually as it only requires a small blood or saliva sample. We send the sample to the lab where the results will help determine if a medication will be effective, what dose would be ideal and whether or not there will be adverse side effects. Since the test is based on your DNA, it only needs to done once every 10 years. And better news, many insurance plans cover the cost. Contact us for more information about PGx testing and reap the benefits of personalized medicine.

Like most people, when I first started looking into ways to make money online, I had big dreams but low expectations. I knew that it was possible to make a living doing various things online, but would I be one of the lucky few that actually figured it all out?
In the beginning, I sought out to simply make that first dollar. And like many stories that you’ll come across, for me, that first dollar was all the proof I needed. After all, if you can make $1 online, you can make $10. If you can make $10, you can make $100. And so on.
As soon as I made that first dollar, I was hooked. I saw my ticket out of the 7-5 pm job (no, I’ve never had the 9-5 banker hours) and couldn’t stop thinking about ways to make this work. In fact, I felt like I had to make it work.
Before I dive deep into my journey, to answer the main question in this post, yes, you absolutely can make well over $100,000 online from building simple niche websites. In fact, My small team and I brought in over $175,000 in revenue last year from our sites and have already crossed the $100,000 mark this year at the time of this writing (mid-May).
Here’s a screenshot of our year-to-date ad revenue for our four main websites:
The screenshot above is just for running advertisements on our sites. We make money through affiliate links and sell digital products that represent a smaller portion of our income as well.
As you can clearly see, making $100,000 online with niche sites is not only possible, but you can make much, much more. These sites are still only 2-4 years old each, so they have a ton of growth left in them.
Ways to Make Money Online
When it comes to making money online, your options are endless. That’s the beauty of it. What works well for one person might not work at all for someone else, but in the end, there’s almost always something that makes sense for you.
I’ve tried my hand at several online money-making ventures and have had failures, huge successes, and everything in between. While I won’t bore you with too much of the details, I do want to share a little about what I’ve tried, what worked, and equally important, what didn’t work.
Ironically, my first run at making money online failed, but I came back to it later and figured out how to do it right. That method is to build simple niche websites and is what Passive Income Unlocked is all about.
When I first got into it about a decade ago, my wife and I started 2-3 blogs on topics we were interested in. I remember one in particular was about playing guitar left handed.
I am left handed, but like most people, I grew up playing guitar right handed. While I got pretty good at it and played in a metal band at high tempos, my right-hand picking technique was never great. I eventually made the switch to playing left handed over several years, which ended up being a great decision.
While the topic was interesting for me, as writing and playing music was my passion for years and years, the niche site that I built didn’t make much sense. I had no focus when it came to topics, and even if I did, the guitar niche is not easy to crack.
Those 2-3 sites that we started were definitely failures, but believe it or not, we did end up generating a small amount of affiliate revenue from them. Like I said earlier, that was enough to keep me going.
Our next couple of online business ventures were in drop shipping and selling print-on-demand items (think t-shirts, coffee mugs, etc.).
To make the drop shipping model work, I was spending thousands of dollars per month on Facebook ads, which basically helped me break even. That wasn’t enough to keep me going with all of the custom complaint emails about long shipping times and low-quality products.
However, the print-on-demand model worked and is still bringing in a trickle of income today. When I say trickle, I mean about $100/month. I spent about $1,500 on designs for that business and passed the break even point a long time ago, so I can’t complain. However, $100/month isn’t life changing money by any means.
Now, let’s get back to what works. That’s building niche websites. While I chalk up our first few sites as failures, I came back to it for a reason: I saw the potential if I could only crack the code to approach it the right way.
That’s exactly what I’ve done over the past few years. I scrapped my old model of writing on random topics close to my heart and came up with a process that I could measure and tweak.
This didn’t happen over night, but after watching countless YouTube videos, reading hundreds of blog posts, and going through a couple of paid courses, I eventually put the pieces together to come up with a system that works.
When I say the system works, I mean that we’ve built four sites and have grown each to over 200,000 pageviews per month. We started a fifth site last summer which is following the same path as the others, and we’re close to launching a sixth site as well.
The difference between our initial sites and our latest ones is that I not only figured out what I needed to be focusing on, but I also figured out what mistakes I was making. Once I dialed in on these two areas, the traffic and revenue started climbing quickly, all without spending a penny on marketing or advertising.
Here are a couple of screenshots showing the monthly pageviews in Google Analytics for a couple of our sites YTD:
While the traffic and revenue is great, equally great is the fact that we spend so little money on expenses. I’ll dive into the details in another post, but on average, we spend $5,000 – $6,000 per month. When you’re making $25,000 – $35,000 in revenue, that leaves a lot of profit for us to take home.
How Much Money Can You Make?
Speaking of profit, in my opinion, there’s no ceiling on how much money you can make by building simple niche sites, as long as you do it the right way. If you’re not hitting your goal with one site, you can always start up another.
When my wife and I first decided to get back into building niche sites a few years ago, we started with one site. Within a couple of years, it was clear that we were on the right track, so we started another. From there we grew our team and added a third, fourth, and now a fifth and soon a sixth.
With each site, we’re starting from scratch, but because we trust the system that I’ve put together, we can be patient and know that each site will eventually succeed.
How Long Does it Take?
I’ll be honest, and you need to be honest with yourself as well. Building niche websites is not a get-rich-quick scheme. While there are some shortcut you can take (if you dare), you’re realistically not going to start seeing a trickle of money come in until about one year after publishing your first batch of articles.
That of course is assuming that you selected a niche that’s not oversaturated, posted articles that target the right keywords, and so on. The steps are simple, but there’s a lot of them. Being off on certain ones can completely derail your chance of success.
For the four sites that we have, we make most of our money by displaying ads through Mediavine. Mediavine requires you to have over 50,000 sessions before you can apply, so you’re not going to get there overnight.
Until you reach that level, your best bet is to use Ezoic for your display ads. Ezoic recently removed their 10,000 pageview traffic requirement, so you can get started with them right away and make considerably more than you would with AdSense.
In our case, all four of our sites that are with Mediavine got to that 50,000 session threshold roughly around the one year mark. With 50,000 sessions, you’re likely to get around $1,000/month, although this can vary heavily depending on the niche.
To get to $100,000/year, you need roughly $8,333/month, which means you need roughly eight times the traffic. Thankfully, once your site starts getting some traction, it can grow very quickly. The traffic on each of our sites increased 3X-5X from the one year mark to the two year mark.
While I’ve only discussed ad revenue so far, depending on your niche, you can also make a good amount of money with affiliate links, selling digital products, or a number of other methods that will increase your revenue per visitor.
With that being said, you could realistically hit that $100,000/year mark anywhere from the two year mark or beyond. There are a lot of variables in play, so obviously, nothing is guaranteed. Even so, it is absolutely realistic to see a site go from $0 to $100k/year in a 2-3 year timeframe.
How to Get Started
Whether your goal is $100k/year, $100k/month, or even $100/month, the key is to get started as soon as possible. In fact, one of the biggest factors in succeeding in building niche sites is to simply be patient after putting in the work.
Being patient is incredibly difficult, but it’s also why so many people fail to succeed. It can be disheartening to write article after article with no reassurance that you’re on the right path.
If you’re ready to get started, either head over to my YouTube channel or check out the other posts on this site. I dive deep into each of the steps involved in building a successful niche site from the ground up.
As you get some traction and find success, be sure to let everyone know in the comments below. Seeing others succeed has been one of my greatest motivators and I look forward to reading about your achievements as well.

He seems to have paddled every river in North America, certainly in Canada. His wilderness experience is massive and the relevance of the conversation this podcast goes far beyond the context of canoe tripping….
Les Hiddins became well known through his ABC TV series “The Bush Tucker Man”. In 1980 Les had received a Defence Fellowship to research survival in northern Australia and looked heavily into traditional bush foods, with the help and cooperation of Indigenous communities. His work was compiled and used by the Australian military in various forms, including the clever idea of “snack maps”. He was also the principal author of the Australian Army’s military survival manual, published in 1987. Les retired from the Australian Regular Army in 1989 with the rank of Major. In addition to his TV work and writing, he continued to work with the Australian Army Reserve until 2001, working with Indigenous Australian communities in northern Australia. He is still actively researching and sharing his information and we get into this and a whole lot more in this podcast episode….

Following Sweeps, PCAOB Sanctions Five Firms for Violations Related to Audit Documentation and Disclosure of Who Worked on Audits
The PCAOB imposes censures, $130,000 in total fines, and remedial undertakings that include training and improvement of policies and procedures to foster compliance with PCAOB rules or standards
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) today announced settled disciplinary orders sanctioning five audit firms for violating PCAOB rules and standards related to audit documentation and the timely filing of Form APs. Audit documentation maintains the integrity of the audit process because it is the written record that provides support for the representations in the auditor’s report. Form APs disclose who led specific audits for the firm and whether any other firms were involved in those audits.
The firms were sanctioned as part of sweeps, which enable the PCAOB to collect information on potential violations from several firms at the same time. Starting in 2022, the PCAOB expanded its use of sweeps as part of its strategic goal of strengthening enforcement.
“These requirements are designed to protect investors, and when firms fail to meet them, the PCAOB won’t hesitate to take action,” said PCAOB Chair Erica Y. Williams.
Specifically, two firms failed to timely assemble a complete and final set of audit documentation within 45 days of the audit report release date, in violation of AS 1215, Audit Documentation. The firms are the following:
One firm failed to design and implement appropriate policies and procedures to provide it with reasonable assurance that it would comply with AS 1215’s requirements:
Freedman & Goldberg C.P.A.’s, P.C. – $25,000 civil money penalty and censure
Two firms failed to timely file Form APs in violation of PCAOB Rule 3211, Auditor Reporting of Certain Audit Participants. The firms are the following:
Without admitting or denying the findings, each firm consented to its respective PCAOB order and disciplinary actions. Each firm also consented to undertake remedial measures. Berkower, Sassetti, and Freedman & Goldberg agreed to undertake professional education and training concerning compliance with AS 1215. Furthermore, Freedman & Goldberg, Bolko, and Fontanella consented to improve their policies and procedures concerning compliance with PCAOB rules and standards related to these violations.
“These orders demonstrate the importance of compliance with PCAOB rules and standards related to audit documentation and the timely filing of Form APs,” said Robert E. Rice, Director of the PCAOB’s Division of Enforcement and Investigations. “The PCAOB will take action to hold firms accountable when they violate them.”
PCAOB enforcement staff members Brett Collings, Sina Mansouri, Benjamin Reed, Jennifer Gibbons, and Thomas Barry conducted the investigations, supervised by Kyra Armstrong and C. Ian Anderson.
The PCAOB oversees auditors’ compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, provisions of the securities laws relating to auditing, professional standards, and PCAOB and SEC rules.
Further information about the PCAOB Division of Enforcement and Investigations is available on the PCAOB website. Firms or individuals wishing to report suspected misconduct by auditors, or to self-report possible misconduct, may visit the PCAOB Tips and Referrals page.
About the PCAOB
The PCAOB is a nonprofit corporation established by Congress to oversee the audits of public companies in order to protect investors and further the public interest in the preparation of informative, accurate, and independent audit reports. The PCAOB also oversees the audits of brokers and dealers registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including compliance reports filed pursuant to federal securities laws.

LOCATION-BASE ADDITIONAL FREIGHT COSTS
In some cases, shipping may cost more than the price you see and pay on our website. Why does this happen? What are your options if it does? Freight companies sometimes incur additional costs, because it costs them more to ship to some addresses than others. The reasons vary, but are most often due to remote locations, country roads, high freight tax jurisdictions, residential addresses, etc. When they incur this cost, they pass it on to us. We will not know if your address is subject to this additional cost until our team starts coordinating your order, after you have paid for it. If you have been in contact with us before placing your order, we may be able to catch it ahead of time. Our website assumes that your address is not subject to these additional freight costs, and roughly 95% of the time, that assumption is correct. So, shipping rates listed on our website, and paid at the time of purchase, do not include these additional costs. For the 5% or so that are affected, there are a couple of options.
1. Ship to another address. Most often, the additional cost is because the address is difficult to pull a very large truck into - often a building that is or was previously a residence. In this case, they will have to offload your item(s) and load them onto a smaller truck, causing the expense. Most of our customers who fall into this category have another, more accessible commercial address. You can simply ship to the alternate address and avoid the cost altogether.
2. Pay the additional $150 to $180. Nobody likes unexpected costs. We understand that. If we could warn you ahead of time, we really would.
SHIPPING TO CANADA
If you are a Canadian customer, please be aware that the shipping process will not follow the standard flat rate shipping cost and estimate applied to our US based customers. Instead, we will use the business address you provide to calculate a precise shipping cost based on the distance, weight, and dimensions of your items. Once this estimate has been calculated, we will send you a revised invoice to account for the additional shipping cost. Please keep in mind that it is your responsibility to cover any Estimated Duties, Taxes, and Fees that may be required to clear customs in Canada. After you have reviewed and approved the revised invoice and any additional costs, we will process your order and provide you with a tracking number for your shipment when available. Please note that delivery may take longer than expected due to customs processing.
SHIPPING INFO & TECHNICAL GLITCHES ON OUR PLATFORM
This website platform focuses on shipping small items at a fixed rate and offers shipping estimates for larger items. Though the system experiences occasional glitches during the checkout process that may result in incorrect shipping costs, the sale team will contact customers by email to notify them of any discrepancies and request the appropriate shipping fee. It is important to note that this issue is infrequent, and the website team is actively working to resolve any technical difficulties to ensure a smooth and uninterrupted shopping experience for all customers.

If anyone doubted that the #MeToo movement has ushered in a revolution, the political execution of Patrick Brown should put those doubts to rest. As in all revolutions, not all the heads that fall into the basket deserve to be there – but the Madame Defarges of this world will gleefully stand by and watch.
(Madame Defarge is a fictional character in Charles Dicken’s A Tale of Two Cities who gleefully knitted why heads rolled under “La Guillotine”.)
If one listens to a true believer, it doesn’t matter how many innocent heads roll, it’s all justified if the revolution has a noble purpose. A former NDP staffer voiced his support for the #MeToo movement on the Jan. 26 airing of CBC’s The Current in these words: “I want to see less nitpicking, less skepticism about individual claims. What’s important is the overall movement to put an end to the abuse of power of men over women.”
According to this fellow, the end justifies the means. If Brown replied that the behaviour didn’t happen as alleged or point to the probability that even if it did, it didn’t constitute a crime, it would not matter a whit to the true believers. This warped thinking seemed to make sense to Brown’s own staff and party. They abandoned him like rats deserting a ship.
The fact that this is happening in Canada should truly scare us. Our hard-won concepts like the presumption of innocence, due process and the law itself are being discarded in a heartbeat. Those concepts took a thousand years, and much blood, sweat and tears to acquire. The true believers want to give them up because some cases didn’t go the way they wanted. They hang their hats on the Jian Ghomeshi case.
Sexual assault cases are difficult for everyone concerned. They usually involve two people and no other direct witnesses. Also, they typically involve two very different interpretations of an event that left scars. Most judges and lawyers will tell you that they are extremely challenging and often heartbreaking. But they will also tell you that the conviction of an innocent person is their worst nightmare. The accused, as well as the accuser, must be treated fairly and with respect.
Are we really prepared to abandon our justice process and let people’s fate be decided by a tweet? Will we let the media replace the Supreme Court of Canada? Or let a person’s fate be decided by the vagaries of public opinion? Perhaps in the near future, the number of ‘likes’ one gets on social media will determine whether one survives or is sacrificed for the greater good. (The thumbs-up ‘like’ symbol was used in Roman Empire days to decide whether a hapless gladiator should live or die.)
We need to think this through. Yes, we’re happy to see the Harvey Weinsteins of this world get their comeuppance. But aren’t we a bit uneasy when we see someone like Brown brought to his knees by unnamed accusers in a case that may never go to court?
Now that the revolution is underway, we will see more Browns as well as Weinsteins. The Madame Defarges will be waiting to hear the sound of those heads dropping into the basket. The innocent as well as the guilty.

On this commemorative occasion of Teachers Day, I commend the great teachers in Kogi State, who as mind shapers and future tenders have continued to dedicate themselves to moulding our dear children for a great future; their denied rewards and the uncertainty of their emoluments notwithstanding. The darkness that overshadows the work environment in our state may be depressing, but I urge you to look forward to a shared prosperity under our watch.
As we celebrate today, let us take a moment to recognize the challenges you face daily, including the issue of prompt payment of salaries and entitlements. We understand your concerns, and we are committed to addressing them. Our goal is to provide you with the welfare packages you deserve, ensuring that your well-being and job satisfaction remain a priority.
In doing this, we are determined to eliminate the gross error that Teachers’ rewards are in heaven. For sure, God does not owe anyone. The economy of the world is also not the economy of heaven. Your reward will certainly be delivered to you on earth. Be assured that Teachers will no longer become a liability to the society that they have nurtured.
Under our watch there will be continuous training and retraining for your growth and improved performance. We believe that investing in your professional development will result in better educational outcomes for our students. Together, we can create an environment where teaching becomes a profession that fosters lifelong learning and excellence.
Let us find solace in the Biblical phrase, “Though weeping endures for the night, joy cometh in the morning.” We assure you that brighter days are ahead, where your efforts will be recognized, appreciated, and appropriately rewarded.
On this Teachers Day, please accept our gratitude for your remarkable contribution to Kogi State’s education system. You are the beacon of hope for our children, and as it is said, No Teacher, no Nation. More than at any time in the history of our state you have a unique opportunity to opt for the one who has always fought for the rights and dignity of Kogi Workers. It is not intellectually progressive to continue to empower those who have prospered at the expense of your sweat.
As the governorship poll approaches, I want to assure you that you will never regret voting me as your governor. Let’s come together to save the future of our children and revive our educational sector and make teachers the noblest of professions again!
Happy Teachers Day! 🌟✨🍎🎓

What Is Creatine? – A Steroid It Is Not
Identified in 1832 by Michel Eug?�ne Chevreul, Creatine is a nitrogenous organic acid that occurs naturally in all vertebrate life forms, including humans. The basic function of Creatine is to provide energy to all cells in the body, primarily muscle cells during contraction. Creatine is produced by the liver, and up to 95% of it ends up being stored in skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscles are muscles that can be contracted voluntarily, as opposed to the heart, for example. Creatine is produced by the body from the amino acids L-arginine, glycine and L-methionine.
While Creatine is produced by the body, as it occurs naturally in animals it is also absorbed through food, primarily through the consumption of meat and animal products. Both fish and meat – beef, pork, etc – are sources of Creatine, but eating liver and offal is generally the best source of Creatine that can be naturally added to a diet. For those conscious of their Creatine intake, it is very difficult to reach the optimal amounts using only food; for example, one would have to eat over 500 grams of fish (more than a pound) each day to reach recommended Creatine levels, which is why Creatine supplements are so popular.
Creatine supplements are widely available, both in stores and online. Supplements usually take the form of capsules, or powder to be mixed with water or juice.
Creatine and Sports – Besides its everyday use in the body, Creatine is particularly appreciated by athletes and bodybuilders. Creatine has cell volumization properties, meaning that it encourages and promotes water retention inside cells, increasing their size, making it a favorite of bodybuilders. The energy boost Creatine provides to muscle cells also means that bodybuilders can use heavier and heavier weights, increasing the potency of their workouts and speeding up their training.
Creatine is also believed to reduce the build-up of lactic acid in the muscles; lactic acid is an energy waste product that contributes significantly to muscle fatigue.
Because of its energy-boosting properties and its propensity at reducing or delaying muscle fatigue, Creatine is widely used by athletes of all stripes, not just bodybuilders, who consider it a safe alternative to the use of dangerous anabolic steroids. Because Creatine occurs naturally in the body, its use has proven difficult to regulate and it is perfectly legal to use in most disciplines and professional associations.
Creatine and the Medical Community – Creatine is also known to help rebuild damaged muscle, and as such is used by the medical community to treat neuromuscular diseases such as muscular dystrophy, Huntington’s Disease as well as Parkinson’s Disease.
While Creatine is considered safe, it does carry the risk of minor side effects, such as loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea and muscle cramps. People with kidney or liver problems should avoid Creatine supplements, since creatinine (the by-product of Creatine) is filtered by the kidneys.
Creatine is an organic acid with only minor side effects, and which provides many benefits, not only to athletes and bodybuilders, but also to those suffering from certain neuromuscular diseases as well as those recovering from surgery. Just like with any other supplement, it is recommended to consult a health care professional before starting to use Creatine to make sure there are no counter-indications in relation to medication you may already be taking.

MANILA–PHILIPPINE regions with higher growth rates used remittances for development efficiently, a paper by a University of Santo Tomas economist finds.
College of Commerce Assistant Dean Ma. Socorro Calara said these are the Cordillera Administrative Region, Southern Tagalog region, and the National Capital Region. Her study cited these regions were more efficient in making remittances contribute to regional productivity, which is measured by gross regional domestic product or GRDP.
Calara’s paper was featured at a research forum the same week government officials said that the overall gross domestic product of 0.92 percent in 2009 was the lowest in 11 years.
Titled “Remittances and Regional Performance for the Philippines,” Calara’s paper looked at data from the triennial Family Income and Expenditures Survey (FIES) from 1988 to 2006.
Using FIES results in the same period, Calara also culled data on cash received from abroad or remittances received by households of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).
These were then juxtaposed to GRDP data, as well as regional data on personal consumption and government spending, and investments from 1998 to 2006.
Calara’s econometric calculations showed that the highest efficiency score is one. The NCR, CAR and Southern Tagalog consistently earned that score.
The next highest scores in Calara’s computations went to Central Visayas (0.99); Davao region and Western Visayas (both 0.98); and, Zamboanga and Northern Mindanao regions (both 0.97).
The scores reflect how remittances migrant households received seeped in efficiently or not to regional development activities.
Even if regions such as Ilocos (0.69 average), Cagayan Valley (0.79) and Central Luzon (0.91) got more remittances since they had more overseas migrants and more remittances than other regions, these regions are in the bottom rungs in Calara’s study.
Ilocos is even the least efficient region of all 17 regions covered by the study, while Central Luzon is only 10th overall.
Calara argued that her study is valuable to regional development since it is in the birthplaces of overseas Filipinos were the remittances are used to stir local economic activity.
“The (household members) of migrants are the immediate recipients of remittances. Whether these remittances are spent to purchase basic commodities, durable goods or are invested in productive endeavors, it is the region which benefits from such activities —whether directly or indirectly through the multiplier effect of remittances and the subsequent stimulus to labor,” Calara wrote.
Calara’s paper also looked at how many of the 14 regions with data were efficient in development, with and without remittances.
She came into the latter result by deducting a region’s remittances data from GRDP and regional personal consumption expenditure.
Since some regions were already efficient, Calara wrote that remittances “do not contribute to efficiency” and “have no effect on [that region’s] regional efficiency performance”.
CAR, Southern Tagalog and NCR are part of this grouping.
But for eight of the 14 regions found to be inefficient in 2006, Calara said the results may mean that remittances may have had a positive effect, had no effect, or have a negative effect on regional development.
As for NCR and regions near it, Calara observed that the sending of more overseas workers complements high government spending and investments in these places.
Yet on the overall, Calara said the paper “showed mixed results with respect to the effect of remittances on the regional performance of the Philippines”.
At the same time, the multiplier effect of remittances in rural areas is higher than those in urban regions, Calara’s computations showed.
Estimates using the 2000, 2003 and 2006 FIES data revealed that some 1.107 million households of migrant workers got P208.848 billion in 2000.
The number of households increased by 18.34 percent after three years to 1.31 million and having received some P245.856-billion worth of remittances.
The 2006 FIES showed the number of households increased by 22.2 percent, having received some P348.524 billion.
By percentage share to the national total, all regions outside of NCR have been getting increased remittances: 71.56 percent in 2000, 76.58 percent in 2003, and 78.89 percent in 2006.
Among provincial regions, Southern Tagalog (to include sub-regions Calabarzon [or Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon] and Mimaropa [Mindoro Occidental, Mindoro Oriental, Romblon, and Palawan]) are the top-most recipients of remittances from abroad, followed by Central Luzon and the Ilocos region (see Table 1).
Data from the National Statistical Coordination Board show that Southern Tagalog (combining Calabarzon and Mimaropa) contribute some 14 percent to Philippine GDP.
A third of Philippine production comes from Metro Manila (see Table 2).

Selling a house can be a daunting task, but home staging can make the process easier and more effective. Home staging is the process of preparing a property for sale by enhancing its appeal to potential buyers. By following these 10 home staging ideas, you can create a welcoming and attractive environment that will captivate potential buyers.
Make a good first impression:
Enhance your home’s kerb appeal by cleaning the front door and windows, adding a fresh coat of paint to the front door, and incorporating potted plants or flowers on the porch. A well-maintained exterior can make a great first impression on potential buyers.
Get rid of clutter:
The first thing buyers notice is clutter and dirt. Start by decluttering at least 50% of your belongings and packing away personal items. Give your house a thorough deep clean from top to bottom, focusing on floors, windows, bathrooms and kitchen. A clean and decluttered home shows better and appeals to more buyers. Clear off countertops and tables to make them appear neat and tidy. A clutter-free home can make it easier for buyers to imagine themselves living in the space.
Temporarily remove family photos and personal artwork to help buyers imagine their own belongings in the space. Consider painting the walls a neutral colour to appeal to a wider range of buyers. Depersonalising your home can make it easier for buyers to see themselves living in the space.
Define the purpose of each room:
Ensure that each room has a clear purpose and is staged accordingly. Remove any furniture that doesn’t belong and add pieces that define the room’s function. Proper lighting and a focal point, such as artwork or a fireplace, can enhance the appeal. Defining the purpose of each room can help buyers understand how they can utilise the space.
Clean and declutter:
Thoroughly clean your home, including floors, walls, and windows. Dust and vacuum regularly to maintain a fresh appearance. Put away any items that are out of place to create a sense of order. A clean and tidy home can make a great impression on potential buyers. Light candles or use plug-in air fresheners with fresh, neutral scents like linen or lavender. Place them in multiple rooms to create a pleasant aroma throughout the house. Buyers want their senses engaged, so appealing scents can boost a property’s appeal.
Enhance with lighting:
Proper lighting can make a significant difference in the ambiance of your home. Open curtains and blinds to let in natural light, and strategically place lamps or fixtures to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Enhancing your home with lighting can make it feel more welcoming and comfortable.
Consider the flow of each room and rearrange furniture to maximise space and create a welcoming layout. Remove any oversized or outdated pieces that may make the room feel cramped. Rearranging your furniture can make your home feel more spacious and inviting. Replace bright or patterned soft furnishings with neutral alternatives. Consider beige or grey sofas, plain curtains, and solid colour rugs. Neutral furnishings allow buyers to envision their own belongings in the space.
Add fresh touches:
Incorporate fresh flowers or plants in key areas to add a touch of nature and freshness. Set the table with attractive dishes and silverware to create an inviting dining area. Adding fresh touches can make your home feel more welcoming and comfortable. Place a few indoor plants in living areas to make the space feel fresh, lived in and cared for. Consider low maintenance plants. Live plants boost a property’s appeal and kerb appeal.
Make necessary repairs:
Address any visible repairs or maintenance issues, such as leaky faucets, cracked tiles, or peeling paint. A well-maintained home gives buyers confidence in its overall condition. Making necessary repairs can make your home feel more move-in ready and appealing to buyers.
Consider professional staging:
If you’re unsure about staging your home yourself, consider hiring a professional home stager. They have the expertise to transform your space and create a captivating environment that appeals to a wide range of buyers. Professional staging can help you showcase your home in its best light and potentially sell it faster. Keep up the good work even after viewings. Restage, declutter, clean and replace home scents before each viewing to maintain maximum kerb appeal. The more buyers love your home, the higher the sale price you can achieve.
Remember, staging your home can significantly impact its sale price and time on the market.
If you’re looking for professional assistance with selling or your property, contact Pilkington Estates. Our experienced team can provide expert guidance and support throughout the process.

I was a boy until they found me
lost in the woods. Then I was a
stupid girl lost in the woods.
The neighborhood kids were
just that, until one stripped me
down, one found my sex tapes,
one made me mouth the word
victim until the cable came back.
But I wanted something to fall
from my mouth in a gesture toward
inculcation. Narrative saturation.
With his toe, my brother pushed
away my drinking bowl until
I was a boy thirsting for its very tin.
I can’t tell if when the rapist
called me a ditz he meant me me
or this me, and I suppose this
is the sine qua non of ditzhood.
I have a necessary dumbness
I couldn’t live without, do you get it.
It was the dumbness over wine
and quiche last night that led
to my confessing to beautiful Amy.
My history congealed in the crust
the waitress cleared away.
The talkshow host retired
as I hung my damage to sound
all over the shitty velvet curtains,
contrapuntal and entire.
What velvet curtains, what ladder.
When we are finished, a leather
takes hold, and I am not long
for the slutty skirts of this world.
I never even owned a red hat,
not in my whole dumb life.
It matters how you speak of failure. The term lover.
I have never used this term outside poetry.
Why lover, monsieur croque, when what I mean is
dirtbag. I guess it lacks the pert trochee. The exact volteface.
I speak of failure the way one might salt meat, the water
of the animal comes up through the muscles to praise
your hunger with a meatsong. I fork my failures until tender.
Certain unreal terms: watermeat, failprotein, tearcartilage.
I have more feelings of being meat than being a lover.
There was a girl about your age who queened herself
in front of her personal mirror. Pushed back the skins
to get a closer look, queenly inspections a sign of choice propriety.
Desperate for narrative she consulted her gargoyle nook,
the pink cleanse underneath where no one dared finger.
She could wake up. She could be the kind of girl who woke up.
I placed this anecdote here like a toytruck on a carpet
to evoke something about place and the dumb decades of girlhood.
But I want to live inside the coils of a menstrual rug, and for salt
to sing me out of my troubled blood. Lately I’ve dreamed
of nothing but my girlfriend in a pink tulle dress collapsing
in the road. I wake up and pink lace crowds my eyes in hot yoga.
The naked women in this dressing room are my lovers,
the yoga bodies and the yoga bodies and the yoga bodies,
I place them on the back of an ampersand I’ll never use,
they ride away like galloping horses. &&&&&&&
These naked women virgin-oil themselves into horizons.
Grateful for the opportunity. I am the kind of sunset
that can store the world’s goods without a speck of responsibility.
Speak of failure, says the girl to her figurines. The term
failure of imagination is a failure of imagination
so don’t throw that shade on my legion of rich oiled twats
when the problem is clearly we’re beautiful shitty idiots.
I wrote a poem about a horse named Galaxy once (ugh)
and all the boys gave me treats they said, wow lady wow
wouldn’t you know it this is such a pretty, pretty poem
Why do you look so angry all the time.
Smile. I have placed your flesh delicately in tin,
sealed it shut, designed a periwinkle label.
There is nothing to worry about. No one
worries over the image of a beautiful swan.
My spear cracked your breastbone with a swiftness
so exact I ran home to my wife to cry
in her lap over life’s constant perfections.
Her lap smalled with my tears of gratitude
and suddenly every limb smalled too on her.
What miracles! You can split birch with an ax
all day long but the women you want always stay
the same size? What are you doing, neon goose,
with your wild hair and your split tits and this hip
to waste ratio. Don’t look a man in the eye
if you don’t entertain the fantasy of a hack
hack hack of his [my] blade on your neck.
I smell your bottoms, your flat feet orangeing
my cock into new and gradual definitions
of system. Men choose what animals bleed,
what animals purr. Because of me you’ll
never be the acid-spitting wife of nothing.
I want to digest your proteins but won’t:
you’re better in the package, better steeped in juice,
plum-sick and plucked until yonic,
in the connubial sweat of death and its promise.
Believe it that no one will taste the difference
in the way you chose to spread those wings.
Remember to smile for the fork and you’ll be
swallowed down with gold, gold soda.
Morning commute is sexual, my genitals quake
and yes my lord my breasts rise like a train out the tunnel over
a bridge. The aphrodisiac of mobility must be
what prompted the man this morning to snap
three pics of my ass from under my skirt. This is
freedom / I was standing / he was sitting / hallelujah!
The sound of the camera click is America ringing
in that we add the ghost of function to invisibility,
the click and the click and the unnecessary click
of devices, the underside of my ass trapped
in the intransigence of his photo gallery. My throat
when I saw myself unfamiliar myself blushed
and myself anonymously myself, yes my throat closed
and myself felt enormous. Felt enormous and sexual, lordy
he chose me! for his dark immaterials, should’ve fucked him
right there in the orange commute. Should’ve spoken up,
but I basically fucked him. Wasn’t taught to give lessons
to the men in whose intercourse meant a magic batter
of yes’s where no yes’s left my tight throat, wasn’t taught
what those lessons could mean and instead looked
down to my heels and away from my heels.
Dear Mickey Mouse, dear Minnie, when do you strip
off your gloves and lashes, and when does the border
between your distinctions end, and is this the height of your sex life.
Every day I exercise and I tone and I skinny myself
into a spectacular hell lathed in coconut oil: this is dignity
we’re talking, myself dignity. What difference could one blind ass be
to that lordly fapping, says the masculine syllogism, says who,
says I cowed between the myself of victim and righteous,
me a mouse wedged inside the bovine rumen
/of American transit, the death and life of, American America/
in a frenzy to be grateful for the chewed cud I am gifted.
My ass skin blooms a dinosaur blush before these dense lordly teeth.
I said nothing, left him with his art, I left him on the train with his art.

Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), having gone over the Iran nuclear deal with a fine-toothed comb, called out the Obama administration at today’s Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing for squishy language about the Islamic Republic’s ballistic missile development.
He also unraveled the administration’s assertion that sanctions will “snap back” with an Iran violation — highlighting that there may be nothing left existing to “snap back” on.
“Under the sanctions heading of the agreement, paragraph 26 says, and I quote, ‘the United States administration, acting consistent with the respective roles of the president and the Congress, will refrain from reintroducing or reimposing sanctions specified in annex 2,’ which is basically the sanctions that this committees and the Congress passed, that has ceased applying under the JPOA,” Menendez said. “So Secretary Lew, I read that to mean that we cannot reintroduce or reimpose the existing sanctions that Congress passed into law.”
The Treasury secretary danced around the question, replying “we have been very clear that we retain our right and we will, if we need to, reimpose sanctions.”
“I’m talking about existing nuclear sanctions, which expire next year, if snapback provisions of the sanctions are to be an effective deterrent as the administration has suggested of Iranians breaking the agreement, will the administration agree to support the reauthorization of the existing sanctions that passed the Senate 99-0, and which expire next year? Yes or no?” Menendez asked.
“So let me be clear that the sanctions that are being lifted, if Iran complies, if they comply, we said we would not reimpose nuclear sanctions if they live with the nuclear agreement,” Lew replied.
“I know. But my point is this. If you’re going to snap back, you got to snap back to something… If, in fact, the sanctions which exist that you all heralded and said brought Iran to the table expire next year, 2016, and we don’t reauthorize it, there is nothing at least in that context to snap back to,” the senator stressed. “So why won’t you simply say that the administration supports, under all the same provisions, including the president’s waivers, the reauthorization of those sanctions so that the Iranians know if they violate that the snapback will also include snapback to what the Congress passed?”
Lew said “if Iran complies, we will lift sanctions and it’s premature to talk about extending a law” — even one that expires next year.
Menendez then turned his focus to Secretary of State John Kerry and “the lifting of the arms embargo that creeped its way into this deal.”
“As I read the Security Council resolution on page 119, the ban on Iranian ballistic missiles has, in fact, been lifted. The new Security Council resolution is quite clear. Iran is not prohibited from carrying out ballistic missile work. The resolution merely says, quote, ‘Iran is called upon not to undertake such activity,'” he said. “Now previously, in Security Council Resolution 1929, the council used mandatory language where it said, quote, ‘It decides that Iran shall not undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons.'”
“Why would we accept inferior language that changes the mandatory ‘shall’ to a permissive ‘call upon’? We often call upon a lot of countries to do or stop certain actions in the U.N., but it doesn’t have the force of shall not which has consequences if you do. Can you answer simply, is Iran banned from ballistic missile work for the next eight years?”
Chairman Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) dryly interjected, “No.”
“Do you want to answer it, senator?” Kerry snapped.
“Yes, I will,” Corker shot back.
Kerry argued that Menendez wasn’t reading the resolution correctly and it includes “the same language as is in the embargo now — we transferred it to this and that’s what it is.”
“Not the same language as Security Council resolution 1929,” Menendez replied. “I don’t know why you wouldn’t just keep the same language, which is that you ‘shall not.'”
The senator grilled Kerry on whether Iran will be taking its own samples to submit for compliance testing — “the equivalent of the fox guarding the chicken coop.”
“It’s part of a confidential agreement between the IAEA and Iran as to how they do that,” Kerry said. “The IAEA has said they are satisfied they will be able to do this in a way that does not compromise their needs and that adequately gets the answers they need… I’m not confirming how it’s happening, I’m simply saying to you that we’re confident the IAEA has the ability to be able to get the answers they need.”
Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho) earlier brought up the testing, noting that they agreed not to personally collect test samples at the secretive Parchin military complex.
“They’re going to be able to test by themselves. Even the NFL wouldn’t go along with this,” Risch said. “How in the world can you have a nation like Iran doing their own testing?”
Menendez also stopped Kerry before the secretary reiterated that all options are on the table, “because I think if you talk to our intelligence people, they will tell you that Iran does not believe there’s a credible military threat.”

What Is Injection Moulding?
Injection molding is a process of producing precision-molded parts by fusing raw plastics and guiding them into a mold. The main components of an injection mold are a hopper, barrel, and reciprocating screw. Before injection, the raw plastics are mixed with coloring pigments and reinforcing additives.
Characteristics of injection molded parts
Injection molding is the process of manufacturing plastic parts. It uses thermoplastic, thermoset, or elastomers to manufacture components. The range of materials is enormous and includes tens of thousands of different polymers. They are blended with other materials and alloys to produce a wide range of properties. Designers select the appropriate materials for the job based on the properties and functions desired in the finished part. During the mold design process, mold materials must be carefully chosen, as different materials require different molding parameters.
Injection molding requires precise tolerances of the temperature and strain levels. The maximum strain level is about 0.15 percent. It is possible to adjust these parameters to meet the requirements of an injection molding project. The resulting products can be easily checked for quality by measuring the strain and temperature of the mold inserts in real time.
Injection molding is known for its laminar flow of the polymer. However, there is still a possibility for side-to-side thermal variations in the part forming cavity. This is illustrated in FIG. 4. The part has high and low sheared areas; the higher sheared areas flow on the bottom side of the part, while the lower sheared areas flow on the top side.
Injection molding is used to make many different types of plastic parts, from small parts to entire body panels of a car. These parts can be made from a variety of different materials, such as polypropylene for toys and ABS for consumer electronics. They can also be made from metal, such as aluminum or steel.
The melting temperature of plastic parts must be appropriate for the project’s specifications. The mold should be large enough to produce the parts desired. This will minimize the impact of uneven shrinkage on the product’s dimensional accuracy. In addition to the temperature, a mold must be designed with the material’s properties in mind.
Injection molded parts are produced using molds. This process is a complex process that requires customization to ensure proper fit and function. The main component of a mold is the base, which holds the cavities, ejectors and cooling lines. The size and position of these components are crucial to the production of quality parts. Incorrectly sized vents can cause trapped air to enter the part during the molding process. This can lead to gas bubbles, burn marks, and poor part quality.
The material used for tooling fabrication is usually H-13 tool steel. This steel is suitable for injection molded parts as it has a low elongation value. The material used to fabricate tooling for injection molded parts typically has a high yield strength. The material used for injection moulding tooling is typically 420 stainless steel or H-13 tool steel. These materials are suitable for most injection molding processes and have comparable yield strength compared to wrought or MIM parts.
Another important part of tooling fabrication is the design of the mold. It is important to design the mold with a draft angle, as this will make ejection easier and reduce costs. A draft angle of 5o is recommended when designing a tall feature. Choosing a draft angle is essential to ensuring that the plastic part is free from air bubbles after injection molding.
Injection moulding tooling costs can account for as much as 15% of the cost of an injection moulded part. With innovation in mould materials and design, tooling fabrication can be more efficient and cost-effective.
Surface finishes on injection molded parts
Surface finishes on injection molded parts can have a variety of effects on the part’s appearance and performance. Different materials lend themselves to different kinds of surface finishes, with some plastics better suited for smooth, glossy finishes than others. The type of surface finish is also affected by several factors, including the speed of injection and the melt temperature. Faster injection speeds help improve the quality of plastic finishes by decreasing the visibility of weld lines and improving the overall appearance of the parts.
For a smooth plastic surface finish, some companies require a high level of roughness on the part. Others may prefer a more rough look, but both options can have their benefits. The type of surface finish chosen will depend on the part’s purpose and intended application. For example, a glossy plastic finish may be preferred for a cosmetic part, while a rougher finish may be better suited for a mechanical part that must be tough and cost-effective.
Surface finishes on injection molded parts are often customized to match the application. For example, some parts require a rough surface finish because they require a greater amount of friction. These parts may require a sandblasting process to achieve the desired texture. Other processes can also be used to control plastic texture.
The type of surface finish depends on the materials used, as well as the design and shape of the part. The type of material used, additives, and temperature also have an impact on the surface finish. It is also important to consider surface finishes early in the design process.
Importance of a secondary operation to improve accuracy
While most injection molded parts do not require secondary operations, some components do require this type of processing. The surface finish of a component will determine how well it functions and what other secondary operations are necessary. Depending on the part’s function, a smooth or textured surface may be appropriate. Additionally, some parts may require surface preparation before applying adhesives, so an accurate surface finish can make all the difference. In order to achieve the desired finish, the injection molder should have experience molding different materials. He or she should also have the knowledge of how to simulate the flow of a mold. Also, experienced molders know how to mix materials to achieve the desired color, avoiding the need for secondary painting processes.
Injection molding is a complex process that requires precision and accuracy. The optimal temperature of the melted plastic must be chosen, as well as the mold itself. The mold must also be designed for the correct flow of plastic. In addition, it must be made of the best thermoplastic material for the part’s design. Finally, the correct time must be allowed for the part to be solid before it is ejected. Many of these issues can be overcome with specialized tooling that is customized to the part’s design.
Injection molding offers the opportunity to make complex parts at low cost. It also allows manufacturers to make parts with complicated geometries and multiple functions.

Something as simple and infinitely complex as each moment shared and given, each moment recounted and experienced in its quantum of possibilities. - Michael Brennan
Share PoetCopy to clipboardCopied
Luke Davies (b.1962) is a critically acclaimed poet, novelist, and screenplay writer. Davies was raised in the Sydney suburb of West Pymble, and studied Arts at the University of Sydney. His third volume Running With Light won the 2000 Judith Wright Poetry Prize, while his most recent collection, Totem, won the 2005 South Australian Premier’s Literary Award for Poetry, the Grace Leven Poetry Prize 2004, The Age‘s Poetry Book of the Year Award and the overall Age Book of the Year Award. In 2004 Davies was also awarded the Philip Hodgins Memorial Medal for Poetry. Davies has published three novels, Isabelle the Navigator, the bestselling Candy, subsequently made into a film for which he co-wrote the screenplay. He recently shot a short film, Air, which he wrote and directed, in West Texas.
Davies’ poetic voice is notable for its clarity and humour and its ability to achieve an engaging blend of popular culture and various strands of modern physics: cosmology, quantum mechanics, wave particles, chaos theory. A religious or mystical element in his work has also been commented upon-“decidedly Blakean”, says Cameron Woodhead, and “resonances … of Eckhart … as well as Blake”, according to Michael Brennan, though Brennan goes on to point out the physicality, even concupiscence, and worldliness which are everywhere apparent.
Indeed, love is a major and recurring theme and “Totem Poem” from his collection Totem, which Davies reads here, has been acclaimed as “a 40-page love poem that matches, for strength of vision, verbal mastery and emotive force, the love poetry of previous centuries” (Woodhead) as well as “one of the most impressive longer poems of the age” (Peter Porter). “Totem Poem” is an exuberant celebration of love in which the physical and the metaphysical, and indeed physics, are bound together, birds, monkeys, Hindu gods, the earth and sky, the lovers with their bodies and their desires.
As Michael Brennan concludes, “Davies’ poetry offers a coherent evocation of the evolution of primal fears – of death, loss and loneliness, of the meaninglessness of matter and existence, of the recurrent needs that can save or destroy us – into something as simple and infinitely complex as each moment shared and given, each moment recounted and experienced in its quantum of possibilities.”
Davies reads “Totem Poem” in a quietly incantatory manner, allowing the exuberance and vigour of the mood and imagery to speak for themselves.

We mourn this senseless planet of regret, droughts, rust, rain, cadavers that can't tell us, but I promise you one day the white fires of Venus shall rage: the dead, feeling that power, shall be lifted, and each of us will have his resurrected one to tell him, "Greetings. You will recover or die. The simple cure for everything is to destroy all the stethoscopes that will transmit silence occasionally. The remedy for loneliness is in learning to admit solitude as one admits the bayonet: gracefully, now that already it pierces the heart. Living one: you move among many dancers and don't know which you are the shadow of; you want to kiss your own face in the mirror but do not approach, knowing you must not touch one like that. Living one, while Venus flares O set the cereal afire, O the refrigerator harboring things that live on into death unchanged." They know all about us on Andromeda, they peek at us, they see us in this world illumined and pasteled phonily like a bus station, they are with us when the streets fall down fraught with laundromats and each of us closes himself in his small San Francisco without recourse. They see you with your face of fingerprints carrying your instructions in gloved hands trying to touch things, and know you for one despairing, trying to touch the curtains, trying to get your reflection mired in alarm tape past the window of this then that dark closed business establishment. The Andromedans hear your voice like distant amusement park music converged on by ambulance sirens and they understand everything. They're on your side. They forgive you. I want to turn for a moment to those my heart loves, who are as diamonds to the Andromedans, who shimmer for them, lovely and useless, like diamonds: namely, those who take their meals at soda fountains, their expressions lodged among the drugs and sunglasses, each gazing down too long into the coffee as though from a ruined balcony. O Andromedans they don't know what to do with themselves and so they sit there until they go home where they lie down until they get up, and you beyond the light years know that if sleeping is dying, then waking is birth, and a life is many lives. I love them because they know how to manipulate change in the pockets musically, these whose faces the seasons never give a kiss, these who are always courteous to the faces of presumptions, the presuming streets, the hotels, the presumption of rain in the streets. I'm telling you it's cold inside the body that is not the body, lonesome behind the face that is certainly not the face of the person one meant to become.

In touting his own national security credentials, Trump pointed to a book he published in 2000 called The America We Deserve. He noted that in this work, he brilliantly foresaw the threat posed by Osama bin Laden:
I said in that book that we better be careful with this guy named Osama bin Laden. I mean I really study this stuff. I really find it very interesting, even though I am a businessman…I said we better be careful with Osama bin Laden. There's a guy named Osama bin Laden. Nobody really knew who he was. But he was nasty. He was saying really nasty things about our country and what he wants to do to it. And I wrote in the book [in] 2000—two [sic] years before the World Trade Center came down—I talked to you about Osama bin Laden, you better take him out. I said he's going to crawl under a rock. You better take him out. And now people are seeing that, they’re saying, "You know, Trump predicted Osama bin Laden." Which actually is true.
Really? Trump, in a 2000 book, fingered bin Laden as a primary threat who had to be neutralized, and he did this before others saw the Al Qaeda leader as a danger?
Okay, by now you know where this is heading. In the Kindle version of this book, there is no index. But according to the search function, there is only one—yes, just one—brief reference to Osama bin Laden or Al Qaeda in the entire book. Here it is:
Instead of one looming crisis hanging over us, we face a bewildering series of smaller crises, flash points, standoffs, and hot spots. We're not playing the chess game to end all chess games anymore. We're playing tournament chess—one master against many rivals. One day we're all assured that Iraq is under control, the UN inspectors have done their work, everything's fine, not to worry. The next day the bombing begins. One day we're told that a shadowy figure with no fixed address named Osama bin-Laden is public enemy number one, and U.S. jetfighters lay waste to his camp in Afghanistan. He escapes back under some rock, and a few news cycles later it's on to a new enemy and new crisis."
That's it. Nothing prescient. Nothing that was not known publicly at the time. Nothing about putting bin Laden on the top of the national security to-do list. In the book's opening chapter, Trump did note, "I really am convinced we're in danger of the sort of terrorist attacks that will make the bombing of the Trade Center look like kids playing with firecrackers." But he did not connect this to bin Laden. And in the book's short chapter on terrorism, Trump had no mention of bin Laden or Al Qaeda. He focused instead on the terrorist threat—such as a "biobomb"—posed by the governments of Iran, Iraq, Libya, and North Korea. And he proposed "The (Trump) National Security Lottery," which "would sell tickets just like in a Powerball Lottery, but dedicate every cent to funding an anti-terrorism campaign."
So Trump is wrong. In this book, he did not predict the rise of bin Laden. He and his co-writer were simply riffing off the clips of the day.
Not surprisingly, Jones did not call out Trump on this. Instead, he cheered on the tycoon and said Trump's campaign is "epic." Trump repaid the compliment. As the segment was ending, he told Jones, "Your reputation is amazing. I will not let you down."

From 13 to 20, I lived in Jaipur. This was the place which introduced me to films and theatre. The world of actors started attracting people on the film screen. Their world looked so beautiful that it seemed as if they had come from another planet. To follow his footsteps, I did my graduation in Jaipur and did drama simultaneously at Rabindra Bhawan Theatre. Then I went to NSD and from there I had to come to Mayanagari Mumbai. When I reached Mumbai, the obstacles there made me think about what I was doing. Wherever he went to ask for work, he would only hear no.
Sitting in his house located in Andheri West, Mumbai, actor Anup Soni is telling us his story. Anoop came to Mumbai in the 90s with the dream of becoming a hero, but his dream was broken as soon as he reached here. However, he did not let this become his weakness.
This is Anup Soni. Anup was born on 30 January 1975 in Ludhiana. His father worked in Steel Authority of India.
We asked him the first question – What was the definition of struggle in Mumbai for you? He immediately replied – I still say that whoever dreams of coming to Mumbai and becoming an actor, both his body and ideology should be made of steel. No matter how many setbacks you face, don't panic.
I came to Mumbai in the late 90s, when I was 25 years old. At that time a different definition of hero had developed in the industry. Only those with beautiful faces were selected for the role of hero. The craze for body building also started after seeing the physique of Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt. Seeing all this I felt that I would not be able to fit in.
Despite this, as soon as I came to Mumbai, I started searching for small roles. Every day he would go to the offices of producer-directors in search of work. Nearby were work resumes and photographs. Wherever I went, people would say – Leave your phone number behind the picture, you will get a call for work soon. Would have done this and gone away.
At that time, mobile had just come in the market, but we could not afford it. There was a PCO in the rented house where I lived, I used to give the number of that PCO at many places. In return, the PCO person used to charge Rs 2 for each call. I used to keep my eyes on the same PCO all day long hoping that now the call will come, now the call will come, but weeks after weeks would pass but no one would call.
Anup had shared these pictures with his mother on social media on her birthday.
How did you decide on your next journey?
He said- At that time in the industry, the producer or director used to cast the hero-heroine and main side artist. The remaining side artists were cast by the casting director. In such a situation, I and other friends started searching for a famous casting director. Things didn't work out here either.
As time passed, questions started rising in my mind that I had not come to Mumbai to do this. There were only shocks everywhere. The thought of leaving Mumbai and going back home also started coming to my mind. I used to say to myself that I don't deserve such a life. Even good food was not available.
How did you face financial crisis while living in Mumbai?
Anup said- Had left from Delhi with a fixed amount. With time the money started running out. Couldn't even ask the family every time. I was not from a very rich family so that I could keep spending as per my wish.
At that time there was no money even for a photoshoot. I had prepared a folder by pasting my old photographs on a black sheet. Whenever I went to meet any director, I used to show him this folder. One day I was going to meet a director in search of work. That folder was also kept in an old plastic bag. As soon as I left the house, it started raining heavily. To save myself I started running. The rain was so heavy that the bag got torn from the bottom due to the impact of water and the folder fell down from it. All the pictures were spread everywhere on the wet road.
I stopped. Seeing all this, tears started flowing. I had never felt so helpless before. Couldn't understand how to pick up those pictures. There was a moment when I decided not to live in Mumbai anymore, whatever I have to do in future has to be done by staying with my family.
Collected the spoiled photographs and took them to the room. The luck was so bad that day that there was not even any friend in the room to share the sorrow. Was running to finish the room alone. Wasn't even able to sleep. In such a situation, I opened a motivational book of Osho kept there and started reading from the middle. Then my eyes fell on those 3 lines, which changed everything.
That line was – If you want better opulence than the opulence you are living now, then you will have to leave the old opulence.
These lines made me think that if I live with my family, I will get everything, but will I be able to get the identity in search of which I left everything and came here. I immediately explained myself and decided not to go back.
Anup Soni married Raj Babbar's daughter Juhi Babbar in 2011. Both of them met while working together in theatre. Anoop had shared these pictures on social media on the occasion of anniversary.
You have also taught acting classes, how did this happen?
Anup says- I had decided to stay in Mumbai, but there was no work to do. It was very important to do something to survive. In such a situation, I started teaching children in Kishore Namit Kapoor's acting school. Since I had passed out from NSD, I got a job here easily. Here he used to teach 2-3 days a week, in return for which he used to get around Rs 1200.
After this, he also got small roles. That's when I found out about the show Sea Hawks. To get work here, I met the show's director Anubhav Sinha. Then after the audition I got the job. After this this sequence continued in such a way that it did not stop for a long time. Played lead role in 3-4 shows. Also did comedy shows.
While I was working in these shows, it occurred to me that my desire was to appear on the film screen. Then he started trying hard to get work in films. Then he got work in films like Gangaajal, Fiza. After this I got a chance to work in the shows Balika Vadhu and Crime Patrol. Both these shows proved to be game changers in my life.
Anoop played the role of Bhairo Dharamveer Singh in the TV show Balika Vadhu. He was associated with this show from 2008 to 2014.
Why did you leave the show Crime Patrol after 10 years?
Anup said- There is no doubt that this show gave me recognition, but due to this I became a victim of type cast. Because of hosting a crime show, no one offered me any other role other than the role of a police officer.
People thought that I can give perfection only in this or that I am made for this, but it was not so. I used to tell people to offer me other roles, only then I would be able to convince them with my work that I can do everything. Still no one believed.
Eventually, after getting tired, I decided to leave the show. This was the biggest decision of my life. Everyone was saying that I was doing a very stupid thing by doing this. I am putting an end to my career, but I believed in myself that if I don't do this, I will never be able to move forward.
Ultimately my faith won. After this, I got a chance to work in good projects like the film Satyamev Jayate 2, web series Khaki and Tandav.
Anup worked as an anchor in the TV show Crime Patrol. He gave full 10 years to this show.
How is your bonding with Prakash Jha?
He says, my bonding with Prakash Jha is very good. However, there was a time when his film Aarakshan had to be said no due to Crime Patrol. I had a schedule of 11 days in Bhopal for this film, but with the shooting of Crime Patrol on hold, it was very difficult to go to Bhopal and shoot.
After this he approached for the film examination. This time also the film had to be said no due to not getting a date together. However, this never affected our personal relationship.

The TV series was released on February 2, 2022, on Disney+ and Hulu’s platforms. The show is based primarily on passion, drugs, and other amusing aspects of life.
Where is Rand Gauthier now?
The series was created by Robert Siegel, an American screenwriter and director, and is also directed.

His only motive is to take revenge, this S*x Tape is about him. He found this tape in 1995, and we want to know where he is now.
He is a retired Marine from Santa Ana, California, who has been growing or cultivating marijuana since he was 65 years old. In the neighborhood of Santa Rosa, living is a natural occurrence. He gave an in-depth course on happiness that claimed he was glad to have contributed something to the world.

Hola! I am Ana and I was born in Argentina in a province with lots of sun, wine, and mountains.
I have a degree in teaching English which I have taught for a long time, but it was only when I came to the UK that I discovered how much I enjoyed teaching my native language.
What I most enjoy about teaching is getting to know my students and preparing lessons that are enjoyable, fun, and meaningful. There is so much each person can bring to the classroom to make Spanish learning easy and interesting.
I look forward to seeing you in my class!
We're a little different from other language schools. Our roots lie in the Spanish further education sector and here at Holborn our students have as much fun learning as we have teaching. That’s why our courses are so effective and why our students say our lessons are rewarding and so much fun.
This is part one of 3 levels that form the A1 starting point to learning Spanish.
It’s a 20 hour course. You will follow an established model of teaching through spoken and written activities, extra reading, tests, reviews, ideas, and games in pairs or groups.
We use powerful learning tools such as presentations, images, videos and audio tapes that stimulate our lessons and encourage students to engage with each other in developing the four essential skills – reading, speaking, listening and writing.
|Min 6 Max 10
The course has been fantastic! I have been learning Spanish with Vamos since last year and I am amazed at how much I have learnt. This is mainly due to the excellent quality of the teaching. Sonia is an inspiring and highly skilled teacher who makes the lessons fun and engaging. She also provides a very structured framework of grammar and language skills which we build on each session. She shares her knowledge of Spanish culture and makes lessons really enjoyable and great fun. I am really inspired to keep learning.
It feels like a safe space to learn and ask questions. The activity book is very helpful and Sonia is friendly and knowledgeable.
Sonia is a brilliant teacher. I started at level 1 and have made so much progress thanks to her support, patience and friendly teaching style.

PROPERTY’S RESPONSE TO EVER-CHANGING TRAVEL REGULATIONS
"Based on the new regulations from the Thai Government, from 22 December 2021 until further notice, guests can travel to Thailand through the Phuket Sandbox or Happy Quarantine (Alternative Quarantine) schemes due to the temporary suspension of the Thailand Pass for all new Test & Go and Sandbox applications. From 11 January 2022, Krabi, Phang-Nga, and Surat Thani (Ko Samui, Ko Pha-ngan, and Ko Tao) Sandbox programs will also be available."
Key Covid-19 Prevention Measures enforced at Chiva-Som:
- Guests are required to take an ATK test upon arrival
- Guests are required to wear a mask in all public areas of the resort
- All Chiva-Som staff have been fully vaccinated
- Chiva-Som is now officially SHA Plus+ certified
- The SHA (Amazing Thailand Safety & Health Administration) certificate is awarded by the Tourism Authority of Thailand to hotels that meet pandemic-level safety, sanitation, and health standards
On the car journey to Hua Hin, we strongly recommend against making any stops to ensure that your route remains ‘sealed’ as per Thai Government requirements. If it is necessary, such as a restroom emergency, the driver is only permitted to stop at two designated and approved locations.
"As a leading wellness destination, we give the utmost importance to Covid-19 safety measures for our guests and staff’s peace of mind. Sanitization and disinfection of the resort is conducted daily in accordance with the standards set forth by PPHO (Prachuap Khiri Khan Provincial Public Health Office) and SHA (Safety and Health Administration)Plus +, while ATK tests are being conducted on the general staff population on a regular basis. The VUCA (Vaccine, Universal Prevention, Covid Free setting & ATK Test) policy is applied and promoted to raise awareness for guests and staff at all times."
"Since the Resort has remained open throughout the Covid-19 situation, specific sanitation and proper hygiene standards have become part of our new normal. We’ve also become more vigilant about staying on top of the changes that are happening locally and globally, allowing us to be more proactive and react faster to sudden changes. A good example of this is our online wellness service, which has been developed and launched from the start of the pandemic. This innovative approach helps us stay connected with our guests and provide them physical and psychological support, when needed."
"Everyone who visits Chiva-Som comes with the purpose of improving their health, as well as relax and pamper themselves in various aspects including physiotherapy, fitness, holistic, dietary nutrition, and spa. During this time, Covid-19 has made people more keenly aware of having a strong immune system and the need for wellness to support that. Our guests have started to really utilize their time here by attending a lot more sessions than usual."
"Ever-changing situations and information regarding traveling can impact plans at the last minute. For example, airports may suddenly close, flights could be delayed or cancelled, or there may be different requirements to enter different countries. Therefore, watching the news, researching the destination you are traveling to, staying on top of entry requirements and policies, and keeping in regular contact with the hotel/resort you are staying at is vitally important. Aside from masks and hand sanitization, good nutrition and hydration will help keep your immune system on guard during your travels. You can prepare food in advance, such as a good quality nut and seed mix, baby carrots, protein bars with minimal refined sugars, or other food items that are easy to carry in your bag."

1. In order to examine the effects of experimental hypertension on intracellular pH in mesenteric resistance arteries, intracellular pH was measured in mesenteric resistance arteries from rats with coarctation 72 h, 9 days and 28 days after the aorta was partially constricted between the origins of the renal arteries. Carotid arterial pressure was significantly raised at all time points.
2. Second-order mesenteric resistance arteries were mounted in a myograph and were loaded with the acetoxymethyl ester of the pH-sensitive dye 2′,7′-bis(carboxyethyl)-5,6-carboxyfluorescein. Morphological measurements demonstrated that arteries from rats with coarctation had an increased media volume at 9 days and at 28 days compared with vessels from sham-operated control animals, but this was only statistically significant at 28 days.
3. Resting intracellular pH was not significantly different at any time point in arteries from rats with coarctation compared with control animals, although there was a rise in intracellular pH in both groups of rats between 72 h and 9 days. The application of 4,4-di-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2′-disulphonic acid produced a fall in intracellular pH which was significantly greater in the sham-operated rats at 9 days; this difference was not found at 28 days. Blockade of Na+/H+ exchange with 60 μmol/l ethylisopropylamiloride led to a similar fall in intracellular pH in both groups of rats at 9 days but a significantly greater fall in intracellular pH in arteries of rats with coarctation at 28 days. Activation with noradrenaline (10 μmol/l) induced acid changes in intracellular pH that were similar in both groups of rats.
4. It is concluded that induction of coarctation of the aorta was associated with the development of significant growth in mesenteric resistance arteries, but that this structural change was not associated with an intracellular pH that was significantly different from that seen in sham-operated control rats at any time. Increased regulation of intracellular pH by Na+/H+ exchange was observed only at 28 days, after medial growth had occurred, which argues against a fundamental role of this exchange system as a mediator of cell growth.

Replicating The Aldbourne Cup
I always enjoy what I do, but lately I've had some amazing commissions, here's the story of one of them: Towards the end of 2015 I was contacted by John Dymond and Alan Heasman, from the Aldbourne Heritage Centre in Wiltshire, asking if I would be able to replicate the Aldbourne Cup for display in their museum. I knew the pot well or at least I thought I did: It was excavated by Cannon Greenwell, in October 1878, from a Bronze Age barrow near the village. Normally my replicas recreate a pot as it looked on the day it was first made, however after some discussion and various meetings of members of the Aldbourne Heritage
I had replicated it on numerous occasions based on drawings and photographs but I decided to make an appointment to visit the British Museum, the cup's current home, and have a close look at it. I'm really glad that I did, because what hadn't been obvious from the images, was the fact that the perforations that formed the decoration, were circular rather than square. Many Bronze-Age beakers, food vessels and the like, are decorated by impressing a shallow toothed comb into the wet clay, forming dotted lines. These combs are almost invariably made by cutting grooves across the edge of a flat piece of bone or antler, this results in a row square or rectangular teeth. The Aldbourne cup on the other hand, had been decorated with a comb composed of round pins, probably three 2mm pins placed in a row and sharpened at the tips to produce 1mm holes spaced 1mm apart. As luck would have it the same burial produced 2 bronze pins pretty much fitting this description, which previous investigators had suggested may have been tattooing tools. A little research yielded images of Polynesian tattooing combs, that informed my reconstruction of a tool suitable for decorating the pot.
Another peculiarity of the decoration was that, while I knew that there were two holes passing through the wall of the pot, as there are with quite a few examples of accessory vessels, in this case some of the impressed decoration actually appeared to go right through the wall of the pot. I believe that this was accidental and occurred where impressions on the outside and inside, exactly coincided with one another.
One reason why such deep decoration might be desirable is if it was intended to be filled with some contrasting coloured material for decorative effect. When looking at the original, it did appear to me that this might be the case ad I thought that in some of the holes I could detect evidence of a lighter material. For this reason I went back to the Heritage Centre members asking the question “to inlay or not to inlay”. Warwick Hood, who had done considerable research, and presented a paper to the Aldbourne Heritage Group on the subject of the cup, kindly pointed out the following reference in Canon Greenwell's 1890 Archaeolgia article, entitled “Recent Researches in Barrows in Yorkshire, Wiltshire, Berkshire, etc.”:
"There is one particular in which it is of much interest, and which has not hitherto, I believe, been observed in pottery from a British barrow. The impressions forming the pattern, and which have been made by a sharp-pointed tool, probably a bronze pricker, have been filled in with some white material like finely powdered chalk applied when in a semi-liquid state. This white material was certainly not the result of the vessel being in contact with chalk, for the surrounding earth was very dark coloured and without any admixture of chalk whatever."
The Aldbourne IV barrow had in fact contained two Aldbourne Cups and in this case Greenwell is referring to the second. Nevertheless the evidence suggested that this had been the case with both the cups and the decision was made, that in the case of the cup in original state, white chalk paste would be applied. This was done by crushing chalk to a paste with a little water, rubbing it into the decoration of the fired pot, polishing off the excess and sealing it into place with a layer of beeswax. I knew it would dramatically change the appearance of the pot, but I probably wasn't prepared for just how stunning it would look. I learned so much more but watch out for a paper later.
Although the Aldbourne Heritage Centre has been open during it's development, I was delighted to be invited to attend the official opening, along with Phil Harding of Time Team fame and Neil Wilkin, Curator, British and European Bronze Age Collection at the British Museum, where the replicas were officially handed over to the Centre.

Minnesota Dog Ingests Meth Found In Subway Bag, Seriously Ill
A Minnesota dog's owners are not optimistic that their four-legged family member is going to make it after ingesting methamphetamine in Chisago County recently after it was found by the dog in a discarded Subway bag. It wasn't just meth that was found in the discarded bag either.
According to the Chisago County Sheriff's Office's Facebook post this morning, "The dog had come across a Subway bag filled with over 80 grams of meth, needles, and a meth pipe. Smelling the crumbs still in the bag, the dog started eating it and ingested the meth."
It's just another reason why this stuff (meth) is horrible.
If you are a pet owner it would be nice that you wouldn't have to worry about things like Subway bags filled with 80g of meth, needles, and a pipe, but we DO have to worry about this stuff. It would be even worse if this was a child who discovered the meth and had gotten into it.
Keep an eye on your pets and children when they are outside, be careful cleaning up litter and refuse left behind by inconsiderate humans, and since it is Law Enforcement Appreciation day maybe thank a member of the Law Enforcement profession for taking an oath to keep these types of drugs out of our communities and off our streets.

Our decals are available in sizes from 2" Tall or 3" Wide(Helmet/Hard Hat Size) up to 30" and sometime more! You have the option via the drop down list to choose from regular vinyl or reflective vinyl.
Regular vinyl is your standard, everyday window decal material that you see on most peoples cars and trucks. We use a high performance, 5-7 year outdoor vinyl for all of our decals and each decal has a coat of UV Laminate over the top, which extends the outdoor life and protect it from UV, scuffs, etc.
Reflective vinyl is the highest performance 3M material on the market today. This material also has a coat of UV Laminate over the top, which extends the outdoor life to roughly 10 plus years if taken care of properly. This material shines bright when the light or flash hit's it. It's the same material you see on most school buses, police cars, firetrucks, etc. Reflective vinyl does cost more, but is so well worth it in the long run. Once you go to reflective, you generally don't go back to regular.
The standard size for a helmet or hard hat is 2" tall or 3" wide.
The standard size for window decals is 4-5" regular vinyl.
Our graphics are printed on the highest quality, exterior Non-reflective and Reflective Material on the market today. Generally, each item has a layer of "Clear" application tape over the top of the decal to assist you with proper application. Once the decal is applied to it's chosen surface, the "Clear" application tape must be removed. This is a very important step that many customers forget.
Each item is made to go on the OUTSIDE of your vehicles window, the body or bumper of your vehicle, your helmet or hard hat or any other flat surface. The vinyl is NOT made to go on drywall, clothing or wood.

I created a new differencing disk of a CRM virtual machine today and I had some troubles getting Reporting services up and running. The service simply wouldn’t start. I had previously used the same virtual harddisk base for other systems so I found it a bit strange, it should work.
When I looked in the event viewer it showed the error “Report Server (MSSQLSERVER) cannot connect to the report server database.”.
I looked around a bit on the net and found a reference to the following which helped:
I concernings increasing the timeouts of pipes in the system to 60 seconds instead of 30. This might be needed on VPC:s that are not so fast and might not get the service up and running fast enough.

Pastor Ignace wrote over the weekend thanking everyone for their prayers and concerns. He reported on how hard it was for all of them – physically, emotionally and psychologically – but that they know that God has everything under control. As we reported earlier, one of the pastors sponsored through Praise International received a broken leg when a wall fell on him (Pastor Livard). He is recovering well. Thankfully the rest of the pastors whom we sponsor were not injured, though several have lost loved ones and friends.
Pastor Ignace hosted a medical group from Maryland last week. They were able to help hundreds of people, but they also reported the masses of people who are in need of medical assistance. In two weeks another medical group will be going down there to work with Pastor Ignace as well.
Please continue in prayer for all of the victims of this disaster and for the many organizations being mobilized to respond to this crisis. We will continue to keep you updated as we receive more information.
Together in Christ,

Every day, millions of people — including students — use YouTube to learn new skills, supplement their schoolwork and gain expertise. Now, the company’s leaders are hoping that a new initiative will greatly expand YouTube’s educational applications.
Announced by CEO Susan Wojcicki in a recent blog post , YouTube Learning will provide grants and promotion for education-focused content, expert organizations and learners. The initiative also includes free wellness courses for content creators that address “burnout” and mental health.
“Our hope is to support those who use YouTube to share their knowledge with the world and the millions of users who come to our platform to learn,” said Wojcicki.
Wojcicki also announced that YouTube will be expanding its learning content team efforts, and has dedicated a product and engineering team to build out additional learning features within the platform that have yet to be announced.
The creation of YouTube Learning comes after the company faced criticism last year for allowing inappropriate and graphic content to slip past the platform’s filters and be recommended to young viewers. The website has also come under fire recently for favoring, through its algorithm, negative videos of public education and unintentionally promoting conspiracy theories and false information.

Despite the social sciences’ growing fascination with tattooing—and the immense popularity of tattoos themselves—the practice has not left much of a historical record. And, until very recently, there was no good context for writing a serious history of tattooing in the West. This collection exposes, for the first time, the richness of the tattoo’s European and American history from antiquity to the present day. In the process, it rescues tattoos from their stereotypical and sensationalized association with criminality.
The tattoo has long hovered in a space between the cosmetic and the punitive. Throughout its history, the status of the tattoo has been complicated by its dual association with slavery and penal practices on the one hand and exotic or forbidden sexuality on the other. The tattoo appears often as an involuntary stigma, sometimes as a self-imposed marker of identity, and occasionally as a beautiful corporal decoration.
This volume analyzes the tattoo’s fluctuating, often uncomfortable position from multiple angles. Individual chapters explore fascinating segments of its history—from the metaphorical meanings of tattooing in Celtic society to the class-related commodification of the body in Victorian Britain, from tattooed entertainers in Germany to tattooing and piercing as self-expression in the contemporary United States. But they also accumulate to form an expansive, textured view of permanent bodily modification in the West.
By combining empirical history, powerful cultural analysis, and a highly readable style, this volume both draws on and propels the ongoing effort to write a meaningful cultural history of the body. The contributors, representing several disciplines, have all conducted extensive original research into the Western tattoo. Together, they have produced an unrivalled account of its history. They are, in addition to the editor, Clare Anderson, Susan Benson, James Bradley, Ian Duffield, Juliet Fleming, Alan Govenar, Harriet Guest, Mark Gustafson, C. P. Jones, Charles MacQuarrie, Hamish Maxwell-Stewart, Stephan Oettermann, Jennipher A. Rosecrans, and Abby Schrader.

Former Congress Councillor Ishrat Jahan, arrested under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in a north-east Delhi riots case, alleged before a court here on Tuesday that she was beaten badly by inmates at Mandoli jail and was continuously facing harassment in prison. Additional Sessions Judge Amitabh Rawat directed the jail authorities to take immediate steps to ensure Jahan’s security and ensure that she was not harassed further for bringing her complaints before the court.
The court sought a detailed report from the prison authorities on Wednesday on the steps that have been taken to address the issue and to also state if shifting to her to another jail was required. When the judge asked the Assistant Superintendent of Mandoli jail whether such an incident has occurred, she confirmed it and said necessary steps have been taken.
To this the judge told the jail official, She (Jahan) seems to be in a state of utter fear. Please talk to her immediately and understand the situation. File a detailed report about the steps taken to allay her apprehension and her fear. “Take all the necessary steps. Take immediate steps. I don’t want to hear that the accused was further harassed by her inmates or anybody else because she complained. I do not want to hear that the present accused is harmed in any way.
It also directed the prison authorities to produce her before the court on Wednesday through video conferencing. While making the submissions directly to the court, Jahan said it was the second incident within one month and was under immense stress due to the continuous harassment, physically and verbally.
This is the second incident in a month. In the morning today at 6:30 Am, they (inmates) beat me badly and abused me verbally. One of the inmates even slit her hand so that I am punished on a false complaint. Fortunately, the jail officials did not listen to them. I have given a written complaint also. They keep calling me a terrorist. They also demanded money from me in the canteen, Jahan alleged. She further alleged that she has been facing harassment in jail for the past four months and had requested to be shifted to Tihar prison but it was refused due to the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Advocate Pradeep Teotia, appearing for Jahan, further alleged that previously also she was beaten up by her inmates, following which one of the inmates was shifted to another jail. One of the inmates beat her up badly previously. A complaint was filed before the Deputy Superintendent and that inmate was shifted to another jail. There are two ladies in her prison cell who beat her up today. While she was offering her morning prayers, they objected to it and started abusing her and beating her, Teotia alleged.
Advocate Misbah Bin Tariq, who was also present at the hearing, requested the court to take immediate action and view her situation with urgency as Jahan was a member of the advocates’ Bar. Jahan further said she was suffering from some medical condition for which she has not been taken to a hospital nor any tests conducted.
Advocate Rizwan, appearing for co-accused and suspended AAP Councillor Tahir Hussain, claimed that most of the accused in the north-east Delhi riots cases were facing discrimination in prison, either by the inmates or jail authorities. He further alleged that the accused have been declared as terrorists before conclusion of the trial.
Almost all the accused are facing discrimination in jail. They have been declared as terrorists before conclusion of the trial. Jail authorities behave adversely with them. Proper monitoring by the court is important in the cases, specially the conspiracy case in which the accused have been booked under the UAP Act, he said. To this, the Judge said, An accused is an accused, not a convict.
Another accused in the case, Jamia Millia Islamia student Asif Iqbal Tanha, claimed that his family members have been trying to meet him through video conferencing but their requests have not been approved. Tanha also alleged that he has been repeatedly called terrorists in prison.
Tanha’s counsel, advocate Sowjhanya Shankaran, said previously when several of the accused had said they have been given basic things in prison, the court had sought a report from the jail authorities but the report has not come yet. The judge had on November 3 said he would go and inspect the situation physically if things did not improve. But since all the grievances were taken care of by the jail authorities, the judge did not go for a physical inspection.
Co-accused Umar Khalid told the court that even after a month, a soft copy of the charge sheet had not been supplied to him. The judge asked his counsel to move an application before the Tihar prison authorities, where Khalid is lodged, to allow access to the soft copy.
The court has put up the matter for further hearing on January 5. Communal violence had broken out in northeast Delhi on February 24 after clashes between Citizenship (Amendment) Act supporters and its protesters spiralled out of control leaving at least 53 people dead and around 200 injured.

Ajmal Saifi, CEO at Prestige One Developments, speaks with Middle East Economy, on Dubai’s luxury real estate market being poised for growth. The article contents can be found at https://economymiddleeast.com/news/dubais-luxury-real-estate-market-is-poised-for-growth and are as follows: …
Dubai’s reputation as a secure destination has recently attracted a surge of wealthy investors seeking stability amidst geopolitical and economic uncertainties. This trend has been particularly noticeable among high-net-worth individuals who are looking for safe and reliable locations to preserve their wealth, invest in real estate, and moor their yachts. The increased interest from these investors is a testament to Dubai’s growing prominence as a desirable destination for those seeking financial security and stability.
UAE’s real estate sector is continuously evolving to meet the growing demand for high-quality residential properties. Noteworthy advancements include sustainable living, flexible payment plans, and technology integration. Community living is also becoming popular, and developers are designing residential projects with integrated community spaces like parks, communal gardens, and shared amenities.
Savills, a real estate consultancy, predicts that the surge in prices for high-end homes in Dubai will continue in 2023, with a rise of 6% to 7.9%, the highest in the world. However, the expected capital value growth is lower than the 12.4% increase in 2022, comparable to Singapore. Despite the two-year increase, Dubai’s prime property prices remain 80% cheaper than other major cities worldwide.
The luxury real estate market in the UAE is a flourishing sector that requires specialized expertise and knowledge to navigate. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, UAE’s luxury real estate market has demonstrated remarkable resilience and growth, driven by an influx of high-net-worth individuals to the region. Additionally, the market is characterized by a diverse range of high-end properties, including luxurious villas, penthouses, and apartments in iconic skyscrapers. Dubai, in particular, boasts some of the most prestigious and sought-after properties in the region.
Industry experts predict that while the short term may see a shortage of high-end properties in the UAE luxury real estate market, leading to increased competition and a potential impact on demand, the sector will continue to experience growth in the long run. Dubai’s reputation as a business-friendly destination and its advanced infrastructure are expected to be the key drivers of this growth. Although rising interest rates may slow down the market towards the end of the year, experts still believe that Dubai’s luxury real estate sector will maintain an upward trajectory.
The real estate sector will significantly contribute to Dubai’s economy by creating job opportunities and improving the UAE’s economic landscape globally.
Prestige One Developments is thrilled to play a vital role in shaping this growth. By prioritizing sustainability, affordability, and timelessness, we strive to contribute to Dubai’s economy while alos integrating eco-friendly features like parking for electric cars, intelligent lighting systems, and renewable energy for air conditioning units.

The 90R4 is a mass fusion splicer capable of splicing up to 4 fiber ribbon cables simultaneously. In previous mass fusion splicer models, the v-grooves could become dirty over time due to debris and glass deposits from splicing accumulating in the v-grooves.

Deer hunting is an activity that has been there for a while now. Before it was regulated you could go ahead and hunt anyhowly in whichever way you liked. The reason why people hunt deer is partly because of meat and partly as a sport.
Because of their decreasing population, governments are coming in to regulate. That is why licensing and local authority legislation is done.
However, in order to exploit your local regulations, you need to be first aware of them. Many regulations are not so strict and therefore you can find some loopholes that can be exploited.. Mostly, you will be required to have proper authorization in the form of a permit before you can embark on hunting such regulated animals.
If you have been worrying about how you bait the deer without being caught, then stay tuned. Throughout this article we shall take you through different amazing ways of baiting deers.
So let us get started.
How to bait deer
1. Find The Right Food
Deer are herbivores and most at times you will find them eating fruit, leaves, herbs and berries. This makes their feeding habits more or less seasonal. This therefore means that deers will exhibit one eating behaviour during summer and another in winter seasons. Sorghum, clover, and soybeans are some of the agricultural products that deer feed on especially in the month of September. Farm produce can therefore come in handy when looking to bait some deer in September. Towards October, deer now begin to take foods such as acorns. In this case therefore, baiting with acorns can be a good way to start.
2. Place A Bait
Once you have gathered all the necessary baiting foods to use, then the next challenge to accomplish is finding a perfect place to position your bait. Once you have located a place that deer love going most frequently, set up a bait and place the appropriate food in it. Note that for optimum results, you need to get yourself a bait that has a timer to enable it to dispense small quantities of foods at specific times during the day. This is because you might not be there to always refill the bait.
If you intend to use peanut butter as bait instead, then you are supposed to smear it on trees. Smearing it on pine trees is necessary because it is a rare and natural product. Besides, this attractact is able to easily draw deer by its powerful scent.
3. Strategic Stand Placement
The goal of your baiting is to hopefully capture one deer. That means you have to have a perfect view point from where you can closely time and watch your deer as they approach the bait.A good place to set up your stand should be somewhere where the wind normally blows to. That way, the deer cannot detect your smell when blown by the wind. Do not attempt to fire on the first day. That would be a great mistake. It will make them anxious and they might never come back again. You should leave the bait for a couple of days for deer to get used to it.
4. Using Deer Lures
Given that deer take pride in its sense of smell, which makes it distinct from other animals in the woods, they can easily smell danger so to speak. So while on a hunting mission, you ought to be careful and pray that it is not windy lest you lose that particular hunt.
If you try to fool a deer with a scent, you must first reduce your own smell. What am I going to do? You ask. Find yourself any scent-removing clothes, such as rubber boots, cotton gloves, and Bone Collector Clothing. Besides, you should often wash your hunting clothes to get rid of any smell in them
There are many ways to trick and attract a deer. One of which is using urine besides appetizing food. For this case, deer urine can act as a good place to start. They are mostly available at sporting good sellers.
As proven by research, large male bucks can utilize their amazing sense of smell to recognize urine perfectly well. As soon as they detect the smell of the urine belonging to another deer, they become curious to which deer might be nearby. By therefore spreading urine in the most part of your land, you can easily trick the deer into coming to check if another deer is around. To make sure you reduce your own smell, wear protective clothing and gumboots. That way, you can eliminate the possibility of having to leave your smell as well.
Urine smell does not always work perfectly. Most at times, urine smell strategy is used a few weeks before mid-november when deer are in mating season. By applying urine and molasses on grass and trees, you can easily attract them to a place you want to bait them.This method of hunting would help you to bait your deer without being spotted because they will lead themselves into your trap with no one to chase them down.
5. Use the salt blocks
Given that all hoofed animals love eating salt, then this is the best baiting commodity to use in your bait zone. When you prepare them as licks, deer will be your frequent visitors as it gives them minerals, nutrients and flavours. Once you have purchased block salt, then dig a small hole in the ground and put the salt inside.
Once you’ve fully sealed the hole, sprinkle the salt on top and then leave the area after you’ve ensured that you’ve covered your tracks.It will take some time, but in the long run the deer will detect the smell of the salt and get drawn to that location due to their curiosity about what is in that location.
6. Using a food plot.
Unlike other methods, this is promising to be efficient in helping you bait deer without getting caught. Even though it takes longer, it will eventually lead to positive results.
This is a clever approach that involves taking a piece of land, preparing it and planting crops that are most loved by deer. Planting flowers such as roses is a good starting point before you proceed to vegetables such as beets, lettuce, apples, beans and tomatoes. If your land is close to deer, then be rest assured that they will always pay a visit to your land and feed on your vegetables. From then on, you can be able to time and capture them whenever you need to.
As soon as food becomes short in supply, deer will move around in search for food. If by then whatever you had planted is ready, deer will likely land on them and begin feasting like never before. In that case, you can prepare your weapon and get ready to shoot to kill.
One of the methods you can use to kill a deer is stand-hunting. This involves preparing ahead of time and positioning yourself at a strategic location in your farm. At the appropriate moment as the deer are still feasting, fire on one of the deers and accurately shoot straight to the head or stomach.
Inasmuch as there are many ways of baiting a deer to a specific kill zone, not all strategies are legitimate. With that in mind, it is always helpful to always adhere to all local laws before getting into your baiting endeavors. Failure to do so will obviously land you in prison and that is the least you want to happen to you.
However, this article focused on teaching you some interesting techniques that can help you bait and not get caught at all. Any of the methods I’ve mentioned above would perfectly work well even in areas where baiting deer is prohibited.

Still raiding and still 13/14, with an 8% wipe in the final phase. It's been tough as we've had some churn in our raid team. We still seem to be perpetually short a healer, and hit or miss on a replacement DPS.
I was able to boost all but one character to 85 with the RAF bonus, and recently added another 90 to my growing collection. Most of the leveling was done in pugs, with some questing to bring in some gold. The majority of the pugs were uneventful, with some minor exceptions.
For some reason, Shado-Pan Monastery seems to be a headache most of the time. Either an overzealous tank will pull too many sha after the first boss, people face-pull adds on the run to the last boss, or DPS ignore the mechanics of the final boss.
When I finally hit 90 on my druid, I was able to get him decked out in a full set of timeless gear and a 484 BOA weapon. I was just under the ilevel for the latest LFR, so I queued for Thorne of Thunder. The first boss when down without issues, and then the fun started.
After the first wipe on Horridon, both tanks dropped along with half the raid. The wipe was mainly caused by the tanks not talking and leaving the adds to run free. There were few DPS with me on the adds as well. The second wipe happened because one of the tanks dropped group after the pull. Asshole. Wipe three was all about add management, again. Most of the group dropped at that point, and I think I was one of only two people from the original group at that point.
With twenty new people, the rest of the run when smoothly. No loot for me, so off to the next wing. Tortos went down quickly, even though someone pulled the boss before the last group of adds were down. I saw a ranged attack hit him, but couldn't tell which idiot did it. The run to Mags was PULL ALL THE THINGS! Boss down. PULL ALL THE THINGS AGAIN!! Boss down, no wipes. Alas, no loot.

No fewer than 100 people have so far benefited from the ongoing Free Surgical Intervention Programme initiated by the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun.
The programme started on Monday with the registration of patients, while surgical operations started on Tuesday.
The surgical procedures, according to a statement on Wednesday, are taking place across the six state hospitals and the 40 general hospitals across the state.
The breakdown showed that 36 surgical procedures have been carried out at State Hospital, Abeokuta, 22 at Ijebu Ode, six at Ilaro, and four at Ifo.
At the general hospitals, two procedures have been carried out at Odeda, Owode-Egba (4), Ikenne (5), Iperu (3) and Imeko (6). The Olikoye Ransome Kuti Memorial Hospital, Asero, Abeokuta, has witnessed one procedure.
Speaking on the progress of the programme at the State Hospital, Ijaye, Abeokuta, the Chief Medical Director, Dr. Bababunmi Osinaike, said the intervention programme has been seamless, as 491 people have been registered at the hospital and 36 patients have been operated upon.
He said, “As of this morning (Wednesday), we have registered about 491 people. They are screened by health practitioners, and they also decide those that are eligible and fit for surgery. We commenced surgery yesterday, Tuesday and we have carried out 36 surgeries so far.
“Out of the 36, we had 13 general surgery cases, one orthopaedic, and 22 Ophthalmic surgeries. The general surgery cases range from hernias, undescended testicles, excision of breast lump, lipomas, among others.”
The CMD said 40 patients have been booked for operation out of which 17 would go for general surgery, and 23 for eye operation, adding that some gynaecology cases like fibroid and thyroid, would be attended to on Thursday.
Head of Clinical Services, the unit carrying out the surgical operations, Dr. Samuel Tolulope, said though the free surgery programme has attracted a huge turnout of patients, it has been hitch-free with no deaths recorded.
Mr. Owolabi Soletire, a resident of Abeokuta who was operated on lumps in the hand, elbow, and head, said, “As soon as I saw the advert on the Net, I quickly ran down to the State Hospital, met with nurses and doctors who registered, carry out the necessary tests on me free of charge, and today, they successfully carried out the operation. I want to appreciate God and our amiable governor for this free surgery.”
Also, Mr. Sunday Alayade, who was operated on for a hernia, thanked the governor for allowing him to benefit from the programme, saying that with the operation done, his health would return to normal.
At the State Hospital Ijebu-Ode, a total of 23 surgical procedures have been completed.
The Medical Director of the Hospital, Dr. Banjo Adeoye, who made this known in an interview, said the procedures would continue till the 31st of March, 2024.
“The surgeries we did today were for those that came and registered on Tuesday, and we carried out 11 surgeries.
“For today, we have 12 surgical procedures, and it is still going on at the theatre at this moment,” he said.
Banjo thanked Governor Dapo Abiodun for the opportunity given to the less privileged to have access to free health care, saying that the hospital is fully prepared to ensure that all registered beneficiaries are attended to.
“So far, it has been smooth. We have no major challenges. It is just that day by day, the number of people registering keeps going up.
“As of yesterday (Tuesday), we had 206 registered beneficiaries, and at this moment (Wednesday), we have recorded about 230 beneficiaries for various surgical procedures,” he said.
Mrs. Arinola Adenuga, whose 6-year-old son was operated on at the hospital, expressed her happiness at the opportunity given to them by Governor Abiodun, saying that the burden of raising funds for the well-being of her son had been taken care of by the programme.
Also, 20-year-old Okuwobi Ayomide, 18-year-old Onaleye Solomon, and 13-year-old Olusola Abdulquazeem, who had hernia operations at the hospital, thanked Governor Abiodun for the generosity extended to them.

As part of efforts to tackle unemployment in the state, the Chairman of the Somolu Local Government Area of Lagos State, Abdul-Hamed Salawu, in collaboration with Somolu Tech Innovation and an information technology start-up firm, Tech Shepherd, has organised the second edition of the free ICT training for youths in Somolu.
According to a statement made available to Sunday PUNCH on Saturday, Salawu, represented by the Supervisor of Youth and Sports, Hector Ayo-Coker, unveiled SKILLSHOP, a four-day intensive tech boot camp catering to over 100 registered youths from across Lagos State at the council secretariat.
The statement read, “Over 130 youths registered for the FREE SKILLSHOP. However, only 64 were able to physically attend the training sessions held at the Tech Shepherd’s facility in Somolu. To ensure quality instruction, seven competent and certified facilitators and tech trainers were engaged to impart knowledge to the participants in their chosen skills.
“The boot camp is designed to train participants in front-end web development, and UI/UX design after which selected participants will be offered a six-week scholarship to improve on their chosen skills.”
Reflecting on the success of the previous free ICT training held in November 2022, where 65 youths were trained in coding, UI/UX design, and digital marketing, Salawu said the second edition would build on that achievement.
He added, “Building on the success of our previous free ICT training in November 2022, where we successfully trained over 65 youths in Somolu and neighbouring areas in coding, UI/UX design, and digital marketing. Today, we are launching #SKILLSHOP which underscores our unwavering commitment to nurturing talent and fostering self-sufficiency among our youth in the field of ICT.
“During this course of SKILLSHOP, we will be training over 100 registered youths free of charge in front-end web development, UI/UX design, and other digital skills. Additionally, selected participants will be awarded a six-week scholarship to further enhance their skills in these areas.”

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, on Wednesday, allayed fear of job losses after the implementation of the Oronsaye Report, recommending the merger of the Federal Government’s ministries and departments.
This was as the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, on Wednesday, threw his weight behind President Bola Tinubu on the implementation of the 2012 Steve Oronsaye Report.
Twelve years after it received the Stephen Oronsaye Report, the Federal Government, on Monday, approved the implementation of some of its recommendations to reduce the cost of governance.
Consequently, 29 government agencies will be merged while eight parastatals will be subsumed into eight other agencies.
More so, four agencies have been relocated to four ministries while one was earmarked for scrapping.
On Wednesday, the information minister, in a statement by his media aide, Rabiu Ibrahim, said the development would not lead to job losses in the federal civil service.
The minister said, “The whole idea is that the government wants to reduce cost and also improve efficiency in service delivery. It does not mean that government is out to retrench workers or throw people into the labour market.”
The minister said the implementation of the report was a clear demonstration of “President Tinubu’s unwavering commitment to fiscal prudence and responsible governance by championing a comprehensive review of the government‘s commissions, agencies, and parastatals.”
He added that the approval for the implementation of the Oronsaye Report, which followed a very careful review, was to ensure that essential services were not compromised.
Taking to his X handle on Wednesday, the LP presidential candidate, Obi, described the move by Tinubu to implement the Oronsaye Report as a positive one.
Obi said had he won the election, he would have done the same as President.
Obi said, “I have received several text messages from people wanting to know if I would have implemented the Oronsaye Report, whose full implementation has just been directed by the President.
“In response to their questions, I would like to refer everyone to my manifesto and my response to similar questions during my campaigns. On the 5th of October, 2022 at Harvard University, I was asked: ‘Will you implement the Oronsaye Report?’ and I responded in the affirmative.
“I went further to explain that implementing the report is one of the best ways to make governance efficient, cost-effective, and productive. Being in opposition does not warrant blind and thoughtless criticism. Whenever the government takes the right decision, we should agree and if need be, propose related or even better ideas to move the nation forward.
“Having found it imperative to implement the report, the government should now do away with the bogus and needless wastages of our scarce resources on frivolous issues, and deploy such funds to the critical areas of education, health, and pulling people out of poverty.”

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 2: Embracing Ramadan’s sanctity, a time deeply rooted in spiritual reflection and self-discipline, poses a distinct set of considerations for individuals with diabetes. This period, characterized by abstaining from food and drink from the first light of dawn until sunset, requires meticulous attention to managing diabetes, to avoid the risks of blood sugar imbalances and dehydration.
Embarking on a Pre-Ramadan Journey
Preparation is key to ensuring a safe and spiritually fulfilling Ramadan for those with diabetes. Here’s how to gear up:
– Healthcare Consultation: Initiating your Ramadan journey with a conversation with your healthcare provider is crucial. This step helps tailor your medication to fit the fasting schedule, ensuring safety throughout the month.
– Empowering Through Education: Arming yourself with knowledge about how fasting impacts your glucose levels and recognizing the early signs of imbalance is vital. This education acts as your safeguard.
– Nutritional Strategy: Collaborating with a nutrition expert to design your meals for Suhoor (the meal before dawn) and Iftar (the meal after sunset) can significantly aid in stabilizing blood sugar levels. Aiming for a balanced intake of slow-releasing energy sources is your goal.
Medication Management Mastery
Adjusting medication during Ramadan is crucial for maintaining balance:
– Insulin Adjustments: Tailoring your insulin regimen is key to avoiding the lows of hypoglycemia and the highs of hyperglycemia.
– Oral Medications: The timing and dosage of oral diabetes medications may need modifications to harmonize with fasting schedules without compromising blood sugar control.
Culinary Adventures from Dawn to Dusk
1. Suhoor – The Foundation: Crafting a meal that slowly releases energy throughout the day is essential. Focus on integrating complex carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats.
2. Iftar – The Celebration: Begin with dates and water, a nod to tradition that gently prepares your body for the main meal. Choose a well-rounded meal to maintain blood sugar stability.
3. Hydration Expedition: In the hours between sunset and dawn, prioritize rehydrating. Stick to water, steering clear of caffeine to avoid dehydration.
Continuous Glucose Mapping
Regular blood sugar checks are the compass guiding your Ramadan voyage, informing necessary adjustments to meals or medication to keep on course.
For individuals with diabetes, Ramadan represents not only a time of spiritual observance but also a period of health management. Through careful planning, education, and adaptability in diet and medication, it’s possible to honor this holy month while nurturing one’s well-being. Thus, the journey through Ramadan becomes an enriching experience that balances spiritual devotion with physical health, offering a pathway to celebrate the month’s sanctity fully and safely.

Flower beds could add even more beauty to your yard. In addition, it may improve the structure of your soil, preventing erosion. It may also be a good way for bees and butterflies to pollinate.
Suppose you’re planning to grow a flower garden soon. In that case, you may consider developing suitable and eco-friendly flower beds. That way, you could grow different flowers and plants that’d make the most out of your garden space. For that purpose, here’s an article to help you. So, read on!
1. Choose The Right Location
In selecting the location for your flowerbed, you should consider the light and moisture conditions of the place. An area with too much shade may not be an excellent place to start a garden because of limited sunlight. In contrast, you should pick a space that’s neither very dry nor very wet so your flowers won’t wither or be overwatered.
Apart from these, you may also select the space away from where your usual yard activities take place. This way, your plants and flowers won’t be stepped on. You can also choose the areas where you could install the beds more quickly.
2. Select And Nourish The Soil
You could start cultivating the available soil to make it loose in the location. You may add other types, such as clay-heavy components, to enhance its compactness if it’s too loose. If you’re in Kansas City or other nearby cities, you may go to Missouri Organic and similar establishments to know more about compost and other soil products.
Apart from that, you may also consider the following tips:
Add Soil Amendments
Soil amendments nourish any soil. General compost, treated sewage sludge, and wood clippings can add nutrients and improve soil structure. On the other hand, lime increases soil pH. Apart from these, organic matter-based amendments moderate soil temperature and enhance aeration and drainage. Furthermore, it gives better pore space for roots.
Because of the many benefits of soil amendments, you may need to apply an ample amount to your garden’s topsoil regularly. The process could be more frequented if the area is generally flooded most of the time. For better results, you may need to designate an area for composting where you could easily source out the grass clippings, poultry manure, and other types of organic matter mixed into the soil.
Consider Mulching Application
To further improve the soil quality, you may apply mulching to the topsoil. This could hold better plant moisture and eliminate the residual effects of non-biodegradable materials and fertilizers. In addition, it also prevents weed growth, providing more space for flowers and plants.
Mix Different Kinds Of Soil
Mixing soils is one way of improving soil condition and quality. This generally combines different soils and capitalizes on each soil’s quality. Through this process, you’ll be able to prevent compaction and allow your soil to absorb moisture and nutrients better. Furthermore, the roots of young plants could manage to grow through once-barren soil.
3. Choose The Flowers
In choosing the first flowers and plants you’ll grow in your beds, you may consider the types that don’t require special care, such as specific temperature and watering frequency. For this purpose, you may try planting the easy-to-grow options, including:
- sweet peas
You also have the option to grow annuals and perennial flowers. Annuals refer to the flowers that need to be planted yearly. Luckily, many of these annuals sow and develop themselves, keeping your flowerbed space most of the time. On the other hand, perennials refer to plants that thrive for more than two years. Most of these have thicker and taller structures but are generally smaller than trees. For a better garden, you may plant a combination of both.
If you’d push in growing flowers that may be challenging to grow, you may consider the following points:
Some flowers could multiply in barren soil, while others require better soil quality. For better cultivation, you may need to plant your flowers first in a greenhouse or a garden shed where you could assist their initial growth stage. Then, you may just transplant them into the flower beds once they mature enough. After that, you may still need to monitor them regularly.
Temperature And Sunlight
Generally, the temperature is associated with the current season. In many cases, many flowers grow best during spring and summer. During these days, you may just need to ensure that their beds receive enough amount of sunlight. You may consider putting them in greenhouses and shed for seasons with limited sunlight. For this reason, you may need to grow your flowers in detachable containers that you can carry whenever you transfer your flowers.
Many flowers get their moisture from the soil. In some cases, their supply comes from the rain and your water source. You may need to install a sprinkler system that could automate watering for better watering options. Yet, it’d help if you research your plant’s water needs before the sprinkler installation.
4. Maintain The Beds Regularly
Maintaining the flowerbeds and the flowers helps improve the longevity of the garden. To achieve this, you may need to cultivate your garden soil more often. You may also need to address the invasive weed growth that competes with your plants absorbing nutrients.
For this purpose, you may manually remove the weeds or apply a generous amount of herbicide. The former is a cheaper yet slower way to address this issue. On the other hand, the latter is more expensive but poses environmental risks to other plants and animals living in the area, depending on the product.
Flower beds are a good way to maximize your yard space. If you’re planning to develop one, you may need to know more about gardening basics. It may be better if you have a green thumb. Yet, it’d be best to develop your skills and prepare the tools and materials necessary for your gardening and creating flowerbeds.
You may also join gardening communities for more tips. Furthermore. You could start building a compost pit and mix matters to create the high-quality types of soils that’d benefit your garden. Lastly, you may need to start small and develop it further as you gain experience in taking care of flowers.

If you’ve been looking into doing some construction, then you might have stumbled upon something called crushed concrete aggregate. A form of green concrete, crushed concrete aggregate is gaining popularity for building projects the world over. You might be asking yourself “What is crushed concrete aggregate?”
You probably also want to know what it’s used for. It is right for your project? Read on, for an in-depth look at crushed concrete aggregate.
What Is Crushed Concrete Aggregate?
Crushed concrete aggregates are pieces of old concrete buildings, roads, and other destroyed concrete structures that are crushed in a crushing machine. This crushed material is then washed clean, then broken up into smaller fragments. The fragments are added to other materials, including virgin concrete, to create recycled aggregate.
The quality of the recycled material is dependent on embedded items within the recycled concrete. Things such as steel reinforcements, paper, soil, and other items must be removed during the refinement process. The purer the recycled material, the stronger the resultant aggregate will be.
Currently, recycled concrete supplies about five percent of all aggregate use. The bulk of this is used as a road base. The rest is used for new concrete mixes, asphalt, and fill for other building projects.
What Is It Used For?
Crushed concrete aggregate is used in construction projects such as bridge foundations, soil-cement pavement bases, airport runways, and oil and gas civil construction projects. It is also used for pavements, shoulders, and sidewalks. In addition, it can be used for making structural grade concrete, lean-concrete, and bituminous concrete.
You can use recycled concrete as the base for new residential or commercial projects. This base helps level out the terrain and give the construction project something solid to work from. Many construction sites put concrete aggregate down to help stop tracking mud through a project.
Private uses for crushed concrete aggregate include making aggregate concrete patios and aggregate concrete driveways. Using it can reduce costs on these small projects while not reducing quality.
What Are the Drawbacks?
While still gaining in popularity, there are drawbacks to crushed concrete aggregate to watch out for. For example, if there is a high concentration of aggregate in the construction casts, then there is a high probability for them to fail. The best percentage of aggregate is around thirty percent.
Next, the aggregate needs to be refined. The unrefined concrete aggregate has its uses, but building highways is not one of them. A good example of this is the case of Highway 427, which used unrefined aggregate.
A forensic analysis of the build material found deleterious materials in the mix, including gypsum, drywall, wallboard, and plaster. This led to cracks between lanes and an uneven roadway. It left the highway worse than before construction began.
You need a visual inspection to confirm that the mix is refined enough for use. This does not get rid of all deleterious materials, such as brittle concrete, but you take care of things such as cardboard.
Other contaminants to watch for include things like paint. Sealants are also a contaminant. These are things that need to be washed out of the mix before use.
Why Should You Use It?
Using aggregate concrete has many advantages. Not the least of which is that crushed concrete aggregate is cheaper since it isn’t mined. It has a reduced environmental impact, which gives it appeal to governments and other customers.
Using it helps to preserve natural resources, such as gravel and water. It helps clean up landfills, which helps the environmental impact. Its strength is comparable to virgin aggregate, especially when adding something like fly ash to the mix.
Since it is lighter than virgin stone aggregate, crushed concrete aggregate is easier to place and level off. Finishing the surface is exactly the same as regular concrete, as well. You can compact and transport crushed concrete aggregate in the same way as standard concrete.
One of the ways in which using recycled concrete saves money is through transportation costs. It is possible to process the demolished structure and use it directly in the new project on-site. This reduces the need for new materials that need to be transported in.
Recycling concrete is an important element in making sure a project is LEED-certified. The LEED Green Building Rating System requires a minimum of twenty-five percent recycled post-consumer waste for certification. Using crushed concrete aggregate for these building projects helps to reach that number.
Recycled concrete has been shown to absorb carbon dioxide from the local environment. The action of breaking up the recycled concrete exposes new areas of the concrete to the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Since the process of carbonation occurs from the surface inward, these newly exposed areas will suck up the gas.
Using recycled concrete in this manner allows for the elimination of concrete in landfills and creates a more sustainable construction material. It also has a smaller carbon footprint than virgin aggregate and takes less energy than mining for virgin aggregate does. This has the side effect of conserving virgin aggregate stock, as it is being used up near big cities.
Crushed concrete aggregate use has grown as humanity started finding ways to be environmentally conscious. As technology has improved, so has the strength of crushed concrete aggregate increased. These reasons, among others, make crushed concrete aggregate a good investment.

How often do they miss the extra point?
The NFL average for extra points is now 93.6%, the lowest in league history. Last year, the average was 94.2%, with kickers making 1,146 of 1,217 attempts. What’s interesting is that teams successfully converted 2-point attempts at a 47.9% clip last year.
Can you return a missed extra point in the NFL?
If an extra point conversion is blocked and returned, it is worth two points, as it is not considered to be a touchdown. A blocked field goal return is rare in football of all levels.
Did the Chargers miss the extra point?
And then the extra point was missed. The Chargers’ first-year kicker is Tristan Vizcaino, and he missed two extra points Sunday. The lack of trust in Vizcaino had to be one reason the Chargers chased the touchdown at the end.
Can you advance a missed extra point?
Can you advance a missed extra point? Once a blocked extra point goes beyond the line of scrimmage and is secured by the offense, it is a dead ball. The defense can pick up the ball and advance it as long as the ball has not touched the end zone or gone out of bounds.
What kicker has missed the most extra points this year?
The left hash is wide of the uprights, so Butker had his seventh missed extra point of the season. That broke a tie with Dan Bailey for most missed extra points this season, combining regular season and playoffs.
What is the percentage of successful 2 point conversions?
Various sources estimate the success rate of a two-point conversion to be between 40% and 55%, significantly lower than that of the extra point, though if the higher value is to be believed, a higher expected value is achieved through the two-point conversion than the extra point.
Can you run back a blocked field goal?
If a field goal is blocked behind the line of scrimmage either team may pick it up and return it (see below).
What happens if a 2 point conversion is intercepted?
What happens if you intercept a two-point conversion try? A defensive team is eligible to score on an offensive two-point conversion attempt. If the offense turns the ball over, via interception or fumble, the defense has the opportunity to return the ball to the opposite end zone. If they make it, it’s two points.
Can you advance a blocked kick?
Yes, if the blocked kick stays behind the line of scrimmage, the kicking team can recover it and advance. In fact, if the blocked kick stays behind the line of scrimmage, either team may recover and attempt to advance the ball for a score.
Who kicked the longest field goal in 2020?
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo’s 59-yard FG ties for NFL’s longest of 2020.
How many extra points have been missed in NFL history?
According to the NFL Media Research Team, just 37 of 6,447 PATs were missed in the previous five seasons. That breaks down to an average of 7.4 misses per season. Through Week 1, we’re currently on pace to flirt with 70 missed PATs. There were eight all of last season.
When did the NFL change the extra point rule?
That changed in March, when the NFL passed a rule that moved the spot of the PAT to the 15-yard line. A 17-yard kick is now 32 or 33 yards. Bullock’s kick sailed wide right. It was his first PAT miss in 67 career attempts. “Honestly, I thought I hit it pretty well,” Bullock said Monday, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Where is the extra point after a touchdown?
Kick the extra point. Well, it used to be simple. In the past, the point after touchdown was a foregone conclusion. That changed in March, when the NFL passed a rule that moved the spot of the PAT to the 15-yard line. A 17-yard kick is now 32 or 33 yards. Bullock’s kick sailed wide right.

Most of us don’t spend much time dealing with life insurance; it’s a “get it and forget it” kind of product. And since life insurance often seems complicated, it’s not surprising that we get some of the details wrong. Here are five misconceptions that many people have about life insurance — and the truths to set them straight.
Misconception #1: Young, single people don’t need life insurance.
The Truth: Being young, healthy and single isn’t a reason to skip life insurance. In fact, it’s a great reason to get it. If you qualify now while you’re in good health, your policy can follow you throughout your life, even if you develop health issues later.
Misconception #2: Life insurance is expensive.
The Truth: If you want to make your beneficiaries multi-millionaires, then yes, you’ll need to pay more for life insurance. But you can get a still-generous $500,000 policy for as little as $16 a month. You could spend more than that on lattes.
Misconception #3: Term life insurance is always a better choice than whole life insurance.
The Truth: While term life insurance is the more practical choice for many people, whole life does offer advantages. One major advantage: Your health at the time the policy is issued will determine the terms of the insurance for the rest of your life, no matter what health problems you may develop in the future. Depending on your family medical history, this could be a significant benefit.
Because every policyholder is different, no one kind of life insurance is “always” better than another. That’s why we recommend discussing insurance decisions one-on-one with your independent agent.
Misconception #4: Only the family breadwinner(s) needs life insurance.
The Truth: Stay-at-home moms and dads may not get paid, but that doesn’t mean their services aren’t valuable. Daycare alone can cost as much as college tuition. Insure.com estimates the 2019 market value of a stay-at-home parent’s services (childcare, housekeeping, transportation, etc.) at $71,297. The bottom line: Only Mom and Dad accept hugs and kisses as payment for childcare and housekeeping, so back them up with plenty of life insurance coverage.
Misconception #5: I have a policy at work. I’m covered!
The Truth: Employer-provided life insurance is a nice benefit, but it’s usually limited to 1 to 2 times your yearly salary (unless you supplement it by paying more). That might not be enough to cover living expenses for your spouse and family, or future college costs for your kids.
Another drawback of employer-provided insurance: If you lose your job, you lose the insurance, leaving your family unprotected while you scramble to replace it. A private policy follows you and your family for life, and only you can terminate it.
Want to know how much life insurance you need? You can get a general idea with our life insurance needs calculator. We also recommend discussing it in person with an agent, to take all your unique needs into account.

Azlan Nur Saidy, co-founder of the Urban Nestwork, is an aspiring urban planner, student of the natural world, and a recently indoctrinated birder, excited to explore the intersections between human health and the natural environment. The SFU Student Social Innovation Fund, a collaboration between RADIUS and Embark, provides project funding of up to $1000. Below, we get an update from the Urban Nestwork, a project team funded earlier this year.
What if I told you that you are in nature right now? Ridiculous, isn’t it? You can’t really be in nature walking down a concrete street, can you? Listen closely however, and you may be surprised! Our city is full of birds, bees, coyotes, and salmon that are just on the edge of our vision. If you walk too fast, they may just disappear before you can spot them. Slow down, however, and the city suddenly becomes a forest. Eagles soar above Trout Lake, salmon swim upstream in a residential neighborhood, and whales wander into False Creek. Amazing, isn’t it? Unfortunately, the way we currently build our cities also destroys habitats for the animals that live in them. Forests and other habitats are often cleared to make way for human homes and businesses, and the animals that live in them are left without a place to go. Urban life makes it hard to think about nature because it is often pushed to the background of human activity. Is there anything we can do? The answer is a resounding YES! We can incorporate nature into our neighborhoods, homes and everyday lives to rewild ourselves and our city.
The Urban Nestwork, a group of SFU students, came together to increase accessibility to nature for our friends, family, neighbors and city. While brainstorming ideas of how to create this connection for people, our team had a close encounter with a northern flicker – a native woodpecker to the west coast – and instantly felt a tangible connection to nature. We wanted to share this connection we felt with our community.
As Urban Nestwork, we provide do-it-yourself bird house kits that community members can adopt. Uproot, a local wood waste diversion organization, has partnered with us to provide upcycled wood materials for our bird houses. We invite community members to not only build a bird house for native birds whose populations are in decline but also build a visceral connection to the home they are offering to the birds. Seeing and hearing birds use something that you created can be a powerful tool in bridging the sense of displacement between people and the natural world.
The funds we raise through this project are being reinvested into additional ways to foster connections with nature, such as educational workshops. As part of the Wild About Vancouver Outdoor Education Festival this past April, the Urban Nestwork hosted a community bird house building event at the Mount Pleasant Neighborhood House. It was a big moment for us because it was the first time we introduced our project to the community.
During the event, a conversation with a participant embodied one of the biggest challenges for this project: balancing the needs of our users, the birds, and the humans who would be helping to provide them with a habitat. How could we meet the needs of birds? And, how could we get humans to care for and acknowledge them? While we were facilitating our event at the festival, a participant came up to me and asked if the city was doing anything to get rid of crows because she found them irritating. My first reaction was defensive. I began spewing facts about the benefits of biodiversity but that seemed to turn their attention away. I later told this story to my mentor. She suggested that I be more empathetic to the person’s concerns. Crows can be annoying! However, there are other ways of learning to live with them, that don’t involve getting rid of them. I learned the importance of being aware and accepting of the feelings behind people’s attitudes, even if I don’t agree with them. By validating individuals’ personal experiences, they are more likely to listen and begin a conversation about making room for other species in their lives.
Often, the challenges that social/ecological innovators attempt to tackle are controversial. Once I began to listen to people’s concerns, I began to connect more with myself and my community. I trusted and, admittedly, underestimated my community’s passion for biodiversity. As soon as workshop participants started to arrive, I felt more at ease. People started smiling, laughing and having a good time while banging nails and wood together to create their very own birdhouses that they would then put up in their own homes. We not only explored our sense of place in the natural world, but we also renewed our relationships with our neighbors, friends and family. If I were to provide advice to someone working on a social or environmental issue, it would be to trust in the work you are doing and listen to the needs and concerns of the humans (and non-humans) that you are working with.

One of the things I hacked at during this PyCamp is trying to figure out a nice workflow for Nikola, something that will enable users that are not so technical, to use it.
One first step is Nikola-as-a-service, which is meant for technical users anyway but lays down the infrastructure for this to work semi-nicely.
In the video below, you will see me do this:
Go to GitHub
Take a starter's blog I provided, and do a clone
Go to the nikola-as-a-service site, and login (via twitter)
Create a site using my fork's repo URL
Get a "webhook" URL, and add it to my fork's admin as a post-commit hook
Edit a file in github's web UI and commit it (you can of course just push from any github client)
Automatically, the site nikola-as-a-service publishes gets updated.
Please don't try to use this service yet because:
It's running in a $4.50/month server
It's the same server my own blog uses
I will turn it off, delete everything, etc. every once in a while
I am editing the code on the server, so no guarantees it will not just stop working.
So, here's the video:

What are hormones?
Hormones are central to how your body functions. They are the chemical messengers that are produced in your endocrine glands and travel around your bloodstream work as part of an intricate symphony to influence your behavior, mood, metabolism, menstrual cycle, sexual function and much more.
For more information:
What are the symptoms of hormonal imbalance in women?
Heavy periods, prolonged acne and fatigue that you can’t shift, even after a full night’s sleep and a cup of coffee, aren’t things to be ignored. They could be little signals that something is out of balance, below the surface.
If you have stopped getting your period prior to menopause, or your have menstrual irregularity, you might want to check hormone levels to diagnose what is causing the problem so you can get treated.
The thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), a hormone that regulates metabolism, is often tested for women who are having hot flashes, symptoms of having too much thyroid, or not enough thyroid, fatigue, sleep issues or unexplained weight change. Abnormal thyroid levels can be associated with these symptoms, as well as abnormal menstrual changes.
For more information:
What time of month should I have my hormones tested? (Female)
In general, blood samples are best taken in the 'first half' of the cycle (the follicular phase) when normal and abnormal hormone levels are more clearly separated.
I'm a woman, should I be tested for testosterone?
In females, testosterone testing may be done when a woman has too much testosterone. In this case, you might be having irregular or no menstrual periods (amenorrhea), difficulty getting pregnant, or masculine features, such as hair growth in parts of your body that hair normally doesn’t grow.
Over time, too much testosterone in a woman can contribute to diabetes, obesity, infertility, and more.
We offer Testosterone as an add-on blood test to our female hormone panels.
What are the symptoms of hormonal imbalance in men?
The most common symptoms of hormonal imbalance in men are often disregarded until they impact quality of life so severely that treatment is aggressively sought out. Some of the symptoms of hormonal imbalance in men include:
- Weight Gain
- Brain Fog
- Decreased Sexual Performance
- Inability to Maintain Muscle Mass
- Heart Disease
I'm a man, should I be tested for testosterone?
Testosterone testing is used to diagnose several conditions in men. Testosterone is the main sex hormone in men, produced mainly by the testicles, and is responsible for male physical characteristics. The test may be ordered when infertility is suspected or when a man has a decreased sex drive or erectile dysfunction.
The testosterone test in men may be used to help evaluate conditions such as:
- Decreased sex drive

Judaism is many things to many Jews. There are as many “Judasims” as there are Jews. There are Renewal and Orthodox Jews, Conservative and Reform, Reconstructionist and Humanist; Working class Jews and upper middle class Jews; White Jews and African American Jews; Hispanic Jews and Arab Jews.
For decades the organizing idea of the Jewish community was unquestioning support for the State of Israel. Every synagogue of whatever denomination, social class or geographical area was marked by its “We Stand with Israel” banner. Even atheist rabbis who did not recite the Shema, declared their allegiance to the modern day secular Israel.
Increasingly, the banner of Israel does not command the same allegiance. A younger generation is pushing against that. Tens of thousands of Jews no longer feel comfortable in the Jewish community. Many tell me cannot pray in a synagogue that “Stands with Israel”. They will not bow down to the flag of the State of Israel that adorns the bimahs of almost all synagogues.
How can Jews who express their Jewishness by supporting Israel pray be with Jews who have moved away from that relationship. My role as rabbi is to create spaces for all Jews to perform Jewish rituals together, to pray together and hopefully to have meaningful community together. To that end, I founded the national organization the Open Hillel Rabbinical Council. We are 70 strong and growing. Our mission is to open Judaism to all Jews. No Jew should feel excluded from the Jewish community on account of their commitment to peace and justice in Israel/Palestine. No Jew should feel excluded from the community because of their conflicted feelings about Israel. No Jew should feel they are not good enough Jews because they love Israel one way or another.
We need to find ways to listen to each other. To that end, I have initiated and led dialog sessions both for rabbis and laypeople. We approach these conversations with an attitude of respect, humility and curiosity. Respect for the journey we are all on; Humility for the learning that I might glean from anybody, including those I disagree with; curiosity for the human story behind the opinions: how did you come to be connected to this narrative? what is your story?
We approach these conversations in a non-judgmental, non-anxious frame of mind. We hope and expect others to enter into these conversations with the same spirit.
When we do this, magic can — and does — happen. We can be connected despite — and through — our differences.

Graves' disease: introducing new genetic and epigenetic contributors.
Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) accounts for 90% of all thyroid diseases and affects 2-5% of the population with remarkable familial clustering. Among AITDs, Graves' disease (GD) is a complex disease affecting thyroid function. Over the last two decades, case-control studies using cutting-edge gene sequencing techniques have detected various susceptible loci that may predispose individuals to GD. It has been presumed that all likely associated genes, variants, and polymorphisms might be responsible for 75-80% of the heritability of GD. As a result, there are implications concerning the potential contribution of environmental and epigenetic factors in the pathogenesis of GD, including its initiation, progression, and development. Numerous review studies have summarized the contribution of genetic factors in GD until now, but there are still some key questions and notions that have not been discussed concerning the interplay of genetic, epigenetic, and immunological factors. With this in mind, this review discusses some newly-identified loci and their potential roles in the pathogenicity of GD. This may lead to the identification of new, promising therapeutic targets. Here, we emphasized principles, listed all the reported disease-associated genes and polymorphisms, and also summarized the current understanding of the epigenetic basis of GD.

Spring has sprung and summer is poised to pounce. Berries are budding on the vine in my backyard. We’ve planted blueberries, raspberries, grapes, and three fruit salad trees bearing a total of thirteen varieties of apples, citrus, and deciduous fruits. Oh, and one lowly pear tree.
My fruity bushes, trees, and vines are likely to provide a tasty harvest — I can hardly wait. Because many of my fruits will ripen at once, I thought I’d share some tips on how I store fruits for smoothie-making.
It’s typically best to use fresh, whole, homegrown fruits, but that’s not always convenient or practical. When I see blueberries on sale, I stock up. When I get an opportunity to buy locally grown strawberries and mangoes at the farmer’s market, the bags I lug to the car are heavy enough to leave red stripes across my arms for the rest of the day.
When I get home, I wash the fruits thoroughly, and then cut them up into bite-sized pieces. I peel bananas and slice them into “coins.” Arranging the fruit onto large glass platters, I place them in the freezer for maybe thirty minutes or so. The fruit is then frozen and ready to store. Using a small spatula, or even the back of a spoon, I pop the chunks off the plate and put them into baggies or freezer-safe storage containers.
Frozen bananas, berries, and mangoes provide awesome flavor, antioxidants, nutrients, and fiber to my smoothies. Summertime in every sip. There’s an added benefit, too. The frozen, icy texture of the fruit chunks also provides an extra thickening boost. Yum.
Plopping frozen fruit chunks into my blended smoothies makes a refreshing, summer, or anytime treat. Just before I shut the blender off, I often sprinkle in toasted flax, slivered almonds, or raw, cacao nibs for a bit of a crunch.
I was planning on oatmeal for breakfast today, but I’m re-thinking that idea. I believe a banana-blueberry-flax smoothie awaits. What add-ins are your favorites? Tell me what makes your smoothies groovy!

ATTRACTIONS - My Lai
Return to ATTRACTIONS home
My Lai/Son My Site
One of the most grisly moments in the American war makes for a sobering, out-of-the-ordinary day trip out of Hoi An. On March 16, 1968, US soldiers troops killed either 504 villagers (or 347 – the number’s debated) in a systematic, planned attack of an alleged VC stronghold of MY LAI (now called Son My), about 110km south of Hoi An. Vietnam’s not always known for a delicate touch on its war memorials, but this one is a stand-out.
No organized group tours from Hoi An regularly go south here, but most travel agents can arrange a tour by private car (about US$45) or motorcycle taxi. It can also be done – with some effort – by public bus (see Transport, below).
My Lai/Son My site(open 8am-5pm daily; admission US$0.65)
→ If you’re traveling with kids, note that the site museum displays many graphic photos of massacre victims.
Less than two months after the Tet Offensive in January 1968 sent shock waves through the US military, the frustrated ‘Charlie Company’ of 1st Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment, 11th Brigade – who had only been in Vietnam four months – followed orders to this hamlet, where VC troops were supposedly based. A young officer, Lt William Calley led the ‘search and destroy’ attack, which fell into mayhem quickly – with soldiers shooting children, women and the elderly; raping teenage girls; and carving the initials of the ‘Charlie Company’ into some bodies.
Not all participated, however. One US soldier, Herbert Carter, supposedly shot himself to stay out of the conflict; helicopter pilot Hugh Thompson Jr evacuated a dozen villagers.
Initially the attack was claimed a ‘military victory,’ until photos by Ronald Haeberle and reports from soldiers leaked out. By November 1969 – 18 months later – it became an outrage (spurring on the growing peace movement). It eventually led to the conviction for premeditated murder of Lt Calley, who served four years in prison. President Nixon pardoned Capt Ernest Medina, believed to have ordered the attack.
Seeing the Site
There are three key parts to the site. Straight ahead, as you walk in, is the museum, behind is a memorial statue – with a woman defiantly clenching her fist, and to the left is the site of much of the old village.
The paths around the village site are thoughtfully laid in dirt-brown cement, with GI-boot and barefoot footprints madly imprinted illustrates the chaos of the morning. Plaques mark the foundations of the homes, and the number of killed at the site. It’s fascinating to walk around, and see farmers outside the fence peacefully farming in the rice fields, just as many locals may have done on that fateful day.
Do not skip the museum, which chronologically retells the event through photographs. A marble list names of 504 victims, identified by age (many many are under five years old). It’s capped with North Vietnam’s reactions during the war – ‘the atrocious crime can’t be forgiven,’ and calls to ‘punish the thug’ - plenty of photographs of victims and survivors.
There’s a short book available in English.
My Khe Beach
Three kilometers farther east from the site, the lovely, though slightly littered, My Khe Beach could grow into something bigger some day, but as of yet, it’s still dominated by fishers and simple beach-side seafood restaurants that caters to locals on weekends. It’s hard to think of relaxation after My Lai, but it’s a good spot to sit and refect over a lunch.
The area’s beautiful, but the mid-sized town Quang Ngai isn’t. It does have its cult fans – mostly ex-pats – who rally over the countryside drives nearby and the ‘authentic’ experience they have in this friendly town.
It’s a possible stop-off between Hoi An and Nha Trang, with ATMs and several budget hotels, including KIM THANH HOTEL (tel 055-823-471; 19 Hung Vung St; rooms US$5/8-10 with fan/AC). This one is in the guidebooks, but worth considering as the manager Mr Dung speaks some English and can rent you a motorbike for US$5 per day.
The My Lai site is reached from Quang Ngai, 100km south of Hoi An via Hwy 1. Travel agencies in Hoi An can arrange a motorbike driver to visit here for US$15 or US$20.
Going On Your Own
No public buses go from Hoi An to Quang Ngai – but it’s not hard to catch one on nearby at Vinh Dien, 9km west of Hoi An on Hwy 1 (a US$1.50-2 motorbike taxi ride).
Here frequent buses of various shapes and speeds head south – all going through Quang Ngai. Be choosey. The nice ‘newish’ pink one I hopped on took over three hours to get to Quang Ngai, with frequent stops and backtracks to pick up big bags of rice; the white minibus marked ‘Ban Me Thuot-Danang’ I took for my return trip, only took 70 minutes! Both charged 50,000D (about US$3.15) one way.
Hwy 1 no longer cuts through Quang Ngai, but takes a branch a kilometer east of the main road Quang Trung St. Motorcycle taxi guys wait there. It’s about a 1.5km walk east to the center intersection at Hung Vuong and Quang Trung Sts.
If you’re making a daytrip here, you can rent a motorbike at Kim Thanh Hotel (US$5 per day, passport required), but it’s just as easy going with a motorbike taxi. It’s US$3 or US$3.50 to get a ride to Son My/My Lai and My Khe beach. You’ll need three hours, unless you’re planning to swim a while.
To reach Son My/My Lai from Quang Ngai, take Quang Trung St north across the bridge, then follow the first right (there’s a sign) east. Otherwise you can take the bridge north of town on Hwy 1, then take the first unsigned road east. Son My/My Lai is 12km east. The beach is another 3km.

Today’s lead is a major decision out of the Ninth Circuit dealing with the choice of law in actions to compel. Both the majority opinion and dissent are important reading. Also, there are decisions on the arbitration of bankruptcy matters and mutuality, along with the usual quick hits.
Choice of laws
Setty v. Shrinivas Sugandhalaya LLP, 2021 U.S. LEXIS App. 1490 (9th Cir. Jan. 20, 2021) considers the choice of law in an action seeking to compel arbitration where the District Court’s jurisdiction is based on a federal question, rather than the more common diversity.
Some background is needed to understand the case. The matter arises out of a dispute between two brothers who were previously joint owners of a family incense manufacturing company. Their relationship was allegedly governed by a Partnership Deed, executed in Mumbai, India, which contained an arbitration clause. Thereafter, they decided to set up their own companies and, ultimately, became involved in this litigation over the use of trademarks in the U.S. On the plaintiffs’ side, the parties are one company, SS Bangalore, and its brother-owner. On the defendant side is the other brother’s company, SS Mumbai, and a U.S. Distributor; the brother-owner of SS Mumbai is not a defendant. SS Mumbai moved to compel arbitration based on the arbitration clause in the Partnership Deed. Since that agreement was signed by the brothers individually before they formed their own companies, neither SS Mumbai nor SS Bangalore is a signatory thereto; however, SS Mumbai claimed the right to compel arbitration under the doctrine of state law equitable estoppel.
In an earlier decision in the case, Setty v. Shrinivas Sugandhalaya LLP, 771 Fed. App’x 456 (9th Cir. 2019), the Ninth Circuit, in a memorandum opinion issued by the same panel as rules here, affirmed the District Court’s denial of arbitration, holding that the New York Convention does not allow non-signatories to compel arbitration and that, to the extent the Federal Arbitration Act might be viewed as permitting such arbitrations by reason of equitable estoppel, the Convention trumps the FAA. SCOTUS vacated that earlier judgment and remanded the case for consideration under its holding in GE Energy Power Conversion France SAS v. Outokumpu Stainless USA, LLC, 140 S.Ct. 1637 (2020), See Shrinivas Sugandhalaya LLP v. Setty, 207 L. Ed. 168 (2020). This case arises from that remand.
Writing for herself and Judge Rawlinson, Judge Nelson reaffirms the panel’s earlier mandate. In a short opinion, she opines that federal common law, not the law of India or any state jurisdiction, determines whether a non-signatory may compel arbitration. Relying on the Seventh Circuit’s earlier opinion in Letizia v. Prudential Bache Securities, Inc. 802 F. 2d 1185 (9th Cir. 1986), she opines that “we apply ‘federal substantive law’ for which we look to ‘ordinary contract and agency principles,’ in determining the arbitrability of federal claims by or against nonsignatories to an arbitration agreement.” The majority distinguishes potentially contrary precedent on the basis that those cases involved diversity jurisdiction, whereas plaintiffs’ federal trademark claims invoke federal question jurisdiction. Opining that SS Bangalore’s claims against SS Mumbai are not “clearly ‘intertwined’ with the Partnership Deed,” the majority, then, holds, as a matter of federal common law, that the trial court “did not abuse its discretion” in rejecting SS Mumbai’s equitable estoppel claim. It again affirms.
The dissent by Circuit Judge Bea outlasts the majority opinion by twenty-one pages. He opines that GE Energy stands for the proposition that “nonsignatories to New York Convention-governed arbitration agreements are now authorized to compel arbitration using domestic contract doctrines.” Refusing to limit that SCOTUS authority to cases of diversity jurisdiction, he would hold that “an equitable estoppel claim to compel arbitration is brought pursuant to FAA Chapter 1, which requires that state contract law (or in the case of a foreign contract, the foreign state’s contract law) governs the issue [of equitable estoppel]” regardless of the source of federal jurisdiction. Thus, he opines, SCOTUS in GE Energy “effectively abrogated” Letizia. Having determined that state or foreign law provisions, not some federal common law principle, apply, Judge Bea discusses at length applicable conflict of laws doctrine. However, this may simply be lengthy dictum, as he ultimately concludes that the Circuit should remand the case to the District Court so that court may determine what law applies to issues of both choice of law and equitable estoppel.
The only way to really understand this case is to read the opinion, its predecessor, Letizia, and GE Energy. But anyone who has or may have a New York Convention case involving equitable estoppel claims needs to do so. It may well be seminal. It will be interesting to see if the Circuit takes the case en banc or SCOTUS uses it to explore the issues which Justice Thomas left open when he wrote, “Because the Court of Appeals concluded that the Convention prohibits enforcement by nonsignatories, the court did not determine whether GE Energy could enforce the arbitration clauses under principles of equitable estoppel or which body of law governs that determination. Those questions can be addressed on remand,” GE Energy at 1648 (Emphasis added.)
Arbitration in Bankruptcy
In re: Cuker Interactive, LLC, 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 10519 (S.D. Cal. Jan. 20, 2021) is an appeal in an adversary proceeding between Pillsbury, Winthrop, Shaw, Pittman, LLP and the debtor arising out of unpaid fees for litigation in which Pillsbury represented Cuker against Walmart. To secure its fees, Pillsbury asserted an attorney’s lien on Cuker’s proceeds of the judgment, so advised Walmart, and filed a bankruptcy proof of claim in the amount of approximately $1.6 million. Cuker, thereafter, filed an adversary action to determine whether Pillsbury’s claim was secured or unsecured; in response, Pillsbury sought to compel arbitration of the issue under the terms of its engagement letter with Cuker. The Bankruptcy Court refused to compel, holding that the lien dispute was not within the scope of the arbitration agreement; that the agreement did not contemplate competence-competence; and that, even if the dispute were arbitrable under the agreement, the court was exercising its discretion to retain jurisdiction over the question. The District Court, Bencivengo, J., only finds it necessary to address the third issue. Citing In re: EPD Investment Co., LLC, 821 F.3d 1146 (9th Cir. 2016), it holds that three factors should be considered in reviewing the bankruptcy judge’s action – having the Bankruptcy Court, rather than an arbitrator, rule on bankruptcy disputes; centralizing the resolution of such disputes; and avoiding piecemeal litigation. Without any discussion, the court finds that the Bankruptcy Court considered those factors and, as its ruling thereon was not “illogical, implausible, or without support of the record,” there was no abuse of discretion. The Court affirms.
In an arbitration agreement, what is good for the goose need not be good for the gander. Greene v. Jefferson Capital Systems, LLC, 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 11660 (D. N.J. Jan. 15, 2021) arises from plaintiff’s claim that defendant violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Jefferson Capital moved to compel arbitration. The case involves standard issues related to enforcement of an arbitration agreement by an assignee, scope, and contract formation. Its interest lies in the response by the court, McNulty, J., to Greene’s argument that the provision was substantively unconscionable because it permitted the creditor to pursue an action in court, but relegated the debtor to arbitration. Citing Edwards v. HOVENSA, LLC, 497 F.3d 355 (3rd Cir. 2007), the court adopts the NBA “no blood, no foul” rule and compels arbitration, finding that the agreement “does not limit Ms. Greene’s remedies, but only prescribes the forum in which she can pursue her claims.” Well, query (there is that lawyer word, again) – Is an appeal from an adverse decision a “remedy” and, if so, is not the scope of relief available to Ms. Greene far more “limited” in arbitration than in litigation, considering the deference given an arbitrator’s decisions?
Tecnocap, LLC. v. United Steel Workers, 2021 U.S. App. LEXIS 1396 (4th Cir. Jan. 19, 2021), Wilkinson, Agee, and Richardson, C.J., is a routine case affirming the District Court’s confirmation of a grievance arbitration award. The interesting part of the case is the message in dictum:
“As this recitation of Tecnocap’s arguments reveals, it wanted the district court – and now us – to vacate the arbitrator’s award because it disagrees with the result of a course it agreed to and which was designed to avoid prolonged litigation. . . This genre of almost-reflexive appeal of arbitration awards seems to be an increasingly common course, leading to arbitration no longer being treated as an alternative to litigation, but as its precursor.” (Emphasis in original)
Disqualification of an arbitrator
Christie’s Inc. v. Turner, 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 12334 (S.D.N.Y., Jan. 22, 2021) involves the issue of arbitrator conflicts. After the hammer fell on a sale she found unsatisfactory, Defendant sought to cancel her authorization for Christie’s to auction a painting by Rubens. After losing in a resulting arbitration, she opposed Christie’s petition to confirm, arguing, in part, that the arbitrator had a financial interest in the arbitral administrator, JAMS, and that Christie’s is a large JAMS client. The court, Buchwald, J., rejects the claim, citing Circuit authority holding that an arbitrator is not disqualified “by having received compensation from one of the parties for past service as a party-appointed arbitration” [citation omitted]. Accordingly, she holds, a party’s repeated use of an arbitral organization does not create an impermissible conflict of interest. Note that the arbitrator here timely disclosed his interest in JAMS, so that Turner could address the alleged conflict during the arbitration. Thus, the case reiterates the bottom line for arbitrators – disclose, disclose, disclose. Surprises are what cause troublesome conflict issues.
The Supreme Court still seems reluctant to specifically rule on whether incorporation of a tribunal’s rules which authorize an arbitrator to decide his or her own jurisdiction is sufficient to demonstrate the parties’ “clear and manifest” intention to delegate gateway issues. On Friday, it denied cert. in Piersing v. Domino’s Pizza Franchising, LLC, Dkt. No. 20-695, which directly raised that question.
To those of you following the Bills’ unlikely run toward the Super Bowl, my condolences. And to those Patriot fans still mourning the loss of Tom Brady, you have some more ammunition for your grievance. See you Wednesday.

The Mandalorian was a surprisingly solid hit for Disney+, proving that the rookie streaming service’s original content could compete with the vets and injecting some fresh life into a franchise that often thrives on recycling its greatest hits. Season two is well underway and while most of the proceedings have been kept secret, we have learned about some new cast additions. Among them, Justified‘s Timothy Olyphant will be showing up in some capacity.
Olyphant’s a terrific presence, from his iconic churlish lawman in Justified to his more normie dad vibe in Netflix’s The Santa Clarita Diet. There’s no telling who or what he’ll be bringing to The Mandalorian‘s second season but it’s sure to be a treat. Most recently, Olyphant briefly popped up in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time …in Hollywood as a colleague and friend of Leonardo DiCaprio’s
Also on board is Terminator star Michael Biehn and Temuera Morrison, the actor who played Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones. He didn’t make it to the end of that movie alive but, well, death has a very fluid concept in Star Wars so don’t be surprised if pops up in The Mandalorian.
Just as much fun is some of the talent being brought in behind the camera. Alita: Battle Angel‘s Robert Rodriguez and Ant-Man‘s Peyton Reed are both directing an episode, as is show creator Jon Favreau. Season two premieres in October.
