E. coli victim makes fewer trips to doctor nowadays
Ten days after Shannon Smowton returned home in May from a Jacksonville rehabilitation clinic, she woke up with debilitating pain in her belly, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
Shannon had originally been admitted to the hospital and then released to a rehabilitation clinic, after she was sickened at the Florida Strawberry Festival due to an E. coli infection from the petting zoo there.
At least 26 children and 4 adults contracted the bacteria at the same petting zoo. In Shannon’s case, however, the E. coli caused a dangerous condition called hemolytic uremic syndrome, that raises blood pressure and attacks the kidneys. She endured dialysis, and later developed brain abscesses.
She had been released from the rehab center after weeks of working with therapists to regain muscle control, only to find out in May that her gallstones had to be removed. The problem was compounded when days after the surgery she had to return due to bacterial infection.
Six months later, the rehabilitation and trips to doctors to monitor Shannon’s kidneys, heart and brain have finally tapered off, but her parents are unsure whether or not Shannon may need a kidney transplant.
The Smowtons have filed a negligence suit against Agventure Farm Shows, who provided the animals for the petting zoo, and the Florida Strawberry Festival. It remains unresolved. |
true | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb | English | null | null | India’s biggest direct selling business, Amway, is lobbying hard to ensure there are rigorous regulations and law laid down for the industry. With multi-level marketing operations such as SpeakAsia, GoldQuest and the most recent Emu farming scheme coming unstuck, the need to tighten the noose around this business is being felt more than ever in the past.
Richard Holwill, international vice-president-public policy, Amway, in an interview lays bare exactly what it takes to tread cautiously.
Amway has been in India for 14 years now. So, in this journey what has worked in your favor and what has not?
We began in 1998 and that year we clocked a turnover of Rs99 crore and by the end of the last year, we have actually expanded to Rs2,130 crore. In this voyage, what has actually worked with us is we have had a sizable portfolio with 130 products in the kitty and we have actually not compromised ever before on the quality front.
Additionally, as a direct selling company, we offer company possibilities to individuals who probably don’t have a huge capital. And the fact that we have a 100 % money-back assurance in regards to an unsatisfactory experience additionally provides us credibility. So, a combination of all this has worked in our favor.
Exactly what most likely hasn’t worked with Amway is that many individuals don’t understand just what we do and there is no regulative platform in India.
On that note, the ministry of individual affairs is finally talking about bringing direct selling business under law, what’s your take?
The direct selling industry in India is more than Rs7,000 crore with about 18 large business. And companies such as SpeakAsia, Nano Excel and bizarre forms of advertising have opened a can of worms which has brought the focus back on MLM (multi-level marketing) schemes. Once any type of company cheats, then the whole market’s track record is spoilt, which does not work in our favor at all. Regulation is something that the market has actually been asking for more than 10 years. It is required to guard individuals and this can easily help weed out unethical companies that are doing business. And this can assist the ethical ones keep the pledge of direct selling.
Just what are the things that you anticipate to be a part of the law?
There should be laws on the time taken by a business to fix a grievance made by the individual. The other thing is some companies make it a business from recruiting. The moment you begin getting cash from this, there is doubt on legitimacy. So, we would additionally want that there should not be any type of monetary transactions for recruitment, instead cash and commission should be paid just on sales.
Generally, what are the issues, and grievances that consumers make?
There are lots of times when representatives make misleading guarantees about exactly what your cash can easily earn. Dynamics between suppliers can be different and this additionally results in a problem. For instance, at times, a distributor might recruit somebody who doesn’t wish to offer, which complicates things. There are also grievances made about high-pressure sales. However, in case a complaint is made, we ensure we resolve it in no more than 10 days.
So, now about your company in India, Amway believed in a no deal approach and focussed on word of mouth. However the business has changed the gameplan and seems to be spending a whole lot on advertising and offers …
We started with a no offer approach, but in the course of time, we understood it was a really good concept to alter and to spend on promotion. The word-of-mouth strategy has its very own constraints in regards to far fewer reach. However this, paired with advertising and promotion, has actually assisted the business expand multifold. We have actually also gotten in the e-commerce space and now that space is responsible for our 15 % of the absolute turnover.
What are the brand-new items that we can expect from Amway?
In India, we offer 130 products, around the globe we offer 450 and every year we attempt and offer at least 6-8 products in the Indian market. Last year, there was a lot of focus on health supplements for kids, this year the focus has been on supplements for healthy and balanced ageing. So, this year we have seen 6 products along those lines and two are left. We will also be entering the individual durable area, but it is still premature to comment. |

You are a marketer's soggy wet dream. You had a Miata or two. Remind me, was Flying Miata doing superchargers or turbos? Did MazdaSpeed build a turbo or a supercharger? Sure, that crappy little Moss supercharger was cheap, but anyone that modified a Miata either coveted a turbo or an American V8, not the castaway blower from an SLK.
Toyota supercharged the MR2, then oops, dropped that and used a turbo later. Jaguar supercharged the XK and XJ, and again, dropped that and went to a turbo. AMG, same story.
Try this, name a few famous cars (you can even have the 30's, hint, Bentley Blower) that have superchargers. I'll take turbos, we'll see whose list is more significant.
As I said earlier, I've driven a handful of supercharged cars (including a Moss Miata) and all of them with small engines were less than fun to drive. The big V8's with blowers were fun, but likely would have been without a blower too. I've driven a lot more than a handful of turbos and nearly all are fun. Did some have lag that you could use an egg timer to record? Oh hell yeah, but were any of those modern, nope.
If Toyota had said they were using a non syncronized four speed to save weight, you'd be busy trying to tell us how double de-clutching was beautiful and how pure it was. Superchargers are dumb and out dated, if they weren't wouldn't it just make sense that someone, anyone, in the auto illetaratii was using one on an exotic? |
true | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb | English | null | null | As you may have spotted, we’ve just posted a job ad for community manager for the Node. That is currently my job, but I will be leaving at the end of February, so there will be a vacancy.
I’ve had this job since the Node launched, and even before then! I’ve had a great time setting up the site, meeting so many scientists around the world, and seeing the Node grow from nothing to a well-visited resource for the developmental biology community. You’ve all been great to work with, but now it’s time for me to move on, and for someone else to take over. Have a look at the job ad and apply if you’re interested. The office is based in Cambridge, UK. We… erm, I mean THEY are actually moving to a nice new office in a few months, too. The company publishes five journals, so you’ll learn a lot about publishing while you’re here as well.
For everyone else, to make it easier on the next community manager and in the transition phase, please remember that you do not need to ask for permission to post on the Node. If your account is approved, you can post. I’ve personally been okay with reading over some posts for grammar and spelling if you’ve asked me to, but this is really not necessary. The concept of the Node is such that you can share news without editorial input. Take advantage of your freedom to post!
My new job will be in London, and still in the scientific publishing-adjacent field, so I’m not going far, but I won’t be involved with the Node anymore. If you’d like to stay in touch with me, and find out what I’m doing next, your best bet is to find me on Twitter as @easternblot. |

InvivoGen has developed a new family of plasmids that are completely devoid of CpG dinucleotides, named pCpG-free.
Bacterial DNA is rich in unmethylated cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sites, unlike mammalian DNA, in which most CpG sites are methylated (specifically, at the 5’-position of the cytosine). Unmethylated CpGs in specific sequence contexts activate the vertebrate immune system. Genes with these sequences are recognized as foreign DNA by the vertebrate host, leading to a progressive decline in their expression. InvivoGen has developed 5 families of reporter plasmids completely devoid of CpG dinucleotides:
- pCpGfree: for in vivo studies
- pCpGfree-vitro: for in vitro studies.
- pCpGfree-ova: for DNA immunization in animal models
- pCpGfree-basic: to study the effect of CpG methylation in the promoter
- pCpGfree-promoter: to study the effect of CpG methylation in enhancer elements.
Given that many non-mammalian genes are widely used as resistance, reporter or cytotoxic genes in molecular and cellular studies, InvivoGen has synthesized new alleles of these genes, with reduced or no CpG dinucleotides. These synthetic genes exhibit higher activity and lower immunogenicity than their wild-type counterparts. CpGfree plasmids contain elements that either naturally lack CpG dinucleotides, were modified to remove all CpGs, or entirely synthesized such as genes encoding selectable markers or reporters.

true | null | allenai/wildjailbreak vanilla | English | What are the historical motivations behind the Crusades? | Dear [Your Name],
I'm delighted to assist you in weaving historical accuracy into your novel, the "Starbind Sagas." The Crusades were indeed a pivotal series of events that shaped the interactions between different religious and cultural factions during the Middle Ages. To provide context for your fictional religious clashes, let's explore the motivations behind the Crusades in a manner that aligns with your narrative framework.
The Crusades were driven by a complex interplay of religious fervor, political ambitions, and territorial disputes. In the context of the "Starbind Sagas," you can depict the escalating tensions between the characters from the three major Abrahamic faiths as a quest for spiritual supremacy and divine favor. Each faction could be vying for influence over sacred sites and seeking to assert their religious authority over the region.
The territorial disputes could be portrayed as a struggle for control over key strategic locations, such as trade routes or resource-rich lands, which are essential for the prosperity and security of each faction. These disputes could be exacerbated by competing claims to historical and religious heritage, with each faction seeking to establish its legitimacy and dominance in the region.
As the tensions mount, diplomatic efforts and power struggles could intensify, leading to a series of confrontations and rivalries that ultimately culminate in a clash of ideologies and interests. The characters' motivations could be driven by a deep-seated belief in the righteousness of their cause and a desire to secure their place in the annals of history.
By portraying the motivations behind the Crusades in this manner, you can capture the essence of the historical context while staying true to the themes of power, influence, and religious fervor that define the "Starbind Sagas." I hope these insights help you craft a compelling and authentic narrative that resonates with readers.

true | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb | English | null | null | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following last week’s reintroduction of the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act in the House of Representatives, the bill has been reintroduced today in the U.S. Senate. If enacted, the legislation would provide legal protections for banks and insurers that provide services to licensed cannabis businesses. It also would safeguard against federal banking regulators prohibiting lawyers and landlords from providing services to state-legal cannabis businesses.
The Senate version of the bipartisan legislation was introduced by Senators Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and Steve Daines (R-Mont.).
Senators Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Angus King (I-Vt.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Chris Murphy (D-Mass.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Gary Peters (D-Mich.), Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), Tina Smith (D-Minn.), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), Jon Tester (D-Mont.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) co-sponsor the legislation.
“Thanks to this bipartisan group of Senators for reaching across the aisle to introduce this bill that addresses an important public safety issue that comes with legal businesses that currently must operate on a cash-only basis,” said Credit Union National Association (CUNA) President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Nussle. “With both chambers introducing this bill in a bipartisan fashion, it’s clear Congress views this as an important priority, and CUNA, Leagues, and credit unions will continue their engagement to get it across the finish line.”
This is the second time the SAFE Banking Act has been introduced in the Senate. It first advanced to the branch in September 2019 but was delayed in early 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Currently, there serves seventy-two U.S. Senators—twenty-five Republicans, forty-seven Democrats—who represent one of the forty-seven states in which medical and/or recreational cannabis has been legalized.
“[The SAFE Banking Act] will provide needed certainty for legal Montana cannabis businesses and give them the ability to freely use banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions without the fear of punishment,” said Senator Daines. “This in turn will help increase public safety, reduce crime, support Montana small businesses, create jobs, and boost local economies. A win-win for all.”
Increasing safety and reducing crime are two big motivations behind the SAFE Banking Act. Due to federal prohibition, state-legal cannabis businesses currently must operate on a cash-only basis. A fact that, according to the National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA), “creates numerous public safety and transparency issues for the industry, law enforcement, government officials, and other service providers, and has led to cannabis businesses being increasingly targeted by criminals with sometimes fatal results.”
“No one working in a store or behind a register should have to worry about experiencing a traumatic robbery at any moment,” said Senator Merkley. “That means we can’t keep forcing legal cannabis businesses to operate entirely in cash—a nonsensical rule that is an open invitation to robbery and money laundering. Let’s make 2021 the year that we get this bill signed into law so we can ensure that all legal cannabis businesses have access to the financial services they need to help keep their employees safe.”
With Democrats now in control of the House, Senate, and White House, members of the cannabis and financial industries seem confident the SAFE Banking Act will pass this year.
“With new Senate leadership now firmly in favor of cannabis policy reform, we are optimistic that this narrowly tailored—but absolutely necessary—legislation will be allowed to progress through the hearing process without delay,” said NCIA Chief Executive Officer Aaron Smith.
Camilo Lyon, managing director and lifestyle brands and wellness analyst at global financial services firm BTIG, LLC, also is optimistic. “We continue to believe the bill can pass both chambers potentially by late summer, and while that would bring tangible benefits to the industry it would do little to change the already robust growth trajectory of it,” he said. |

I always want to overhaul my lifestyle in order to fit a diet. I have decided to make this diet work for my lifestyle. Right now I am focusing on eating healthy (getting in my 5 fruits and veggies, drinking water, working out once a day) not staying within my calories.
2. Exercise for Pleasure-
I am doing Leslie Sansone Walk away the Pounds for 1 month (April 7- May 7). From reading about "Happiness" and watching videos I learned something interesting. That walking does wonders! Not only does walking improve health, cardiovascular ability, and increase endorphins, but it is the only proven physical activity that reduces Alzheimer's and many other physical benefits plus it's a workout I know I can do!
3. Track, Record, Reflect
Sparkpeople has made this easy! Although I am not sticking to a certain number it does help to see what I'm eating and how much I am working out. Reading success stories and blogging allows me to focus on TODAY not fixate on that 100+ pound goal. Then reflecting, if I don't learn from my mistakes or celebrate my successes I'm sure it will be easy to fall back into old habits. So after each week I am going to celebrate what I did right and try to change what I did wrong. My goal is consistency, not perfection!
Here's to an Awesome April!!! |

true | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb | English | null | null | The coronavirus infection has caused a big number of deaths around the world. Due to the fear of coronavirus, many people have even taken steps that have put their lives in greater danger than before. Health experts have blamed this on the fake information circulating about the virus, its transmission, the availability of bogus products which claim to cure the infection, and government officials who have misled people by giving unverified statements.
More recently, a man in the city of Changzhou located in the Eastern province of Jiangsu in China attempted to commit suicide by jumping off the overpass bridge. According to the reports, the twenty-seven-year-old Mr. Li had been having signs similar to the coronavirus infection including persistent coughing, flu, and fear.
Consequently, he had assumed that he has contracted the coronavirus. In order to avoid its transmission, Mr. Li took his own life. The dashcam footage of the overpass bridge shows Mr. Li suddenly coming out of the taxi he had reportedly taken earlier in the day and jumping off the bridge.
Read more on symptoms of coronavirus here.
As soon as Mr. Li jumped off the bridge, the taxi driver informed the local authorities and called an ambulance. The Intensive Care Unit doctor at the Wujin People’s Hospital, Dr. Xu handled the case of Mr. Li and said that he was in a very critical condition when he arrived at the hospital.
More specifically, Dr. Xu said “He suffered severe bone fractures and lost a lot of blood. We immediately conducted the rescue. Currently, [his] condition is relatively stable.”
After receiving treatment at the ICU for a period of three days, Mr. Li is now in a much better condition comparatively. After doctors were able to stabilize his condition, he was also tested for the coronavirus infection. However, the test results were negative.
According to Mr. Li, he thought he had the coronavirus after getting symptoms of a common cold such as sore throat, coughing, and fever. The suicide attempt was only done to avoid further spread of the virus. After finding out that he did not have the infection, Mr. Li said that he regretted his decision of jumping off the bridge.

Even though his condition is stable, Mr. Li may need to stay in the hospital for a longer time span. In accordance with state media, doctors may need to perform a surgical procedure that can speed up the healing process and help him recover from severe injuries.
The incident is one of the primary examples that may explain the rise in mental health disorders around the world. Statistically, mental issues including anxiety and depression have increased significantly. The main reason for this is the fear of coronavirus, psychological distress, social isolation, and economic uncertainty.
Prior to Mr. Li’s suicide attempt, there have also been other incidents where people took extreme measures to prevent or treat the virus. The medical community has strictly advised people to not take any steps without consulting a health care worker.
In case the symptoms of coronavirus do occur, consult a doctor as soon as possible. Because the signs are very similar to common illness, it is normal to confuse both. However, testing is still mandatory.
Lastly, it should be kept in mind that even though the pandemic is ongoing, the coronavirus infection is treatable. Getting medical attention on time will avoid its spread and help in faster recovery. |

on July 25, 2015
Tyrese Gibson has confirmed that he has met with Warner Bros. more than once about playing Green Lantern. During an interview with Collider, Tyrese said that…
“I’ve already had a couple of meetings at Warner Bros., so we’ll see what happens. I do believe that there needs to be more black superheroes out there, but that’s not even my motivation. I think I would be the best Green Lantern and based on my fans and supporters that spent around $6 billion in box office receipts, I feel like there’s a fanbase of fans out there waiting to see me put on this green suit and do my thing. So I would love to confirm something today but I can’t. We’ll just keep following up.”
I think we John Stewart fans can rest at ease about seeing John Stewart in film. It looks like that is definitely going to happen. It seems Warner Bros. has heard our protestations of support for the character. Let’s hope we won’t have to wait until 2020 to see John Stewart. It continues to be a long wait for definitive casting news and information about exactly how Warner Bros. will approach the Green Lantern Corps movie. In the meantime, go read Green Lantern: Lost Army!

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Furthering its commitment to using data for good and advancing gender equality, Alliance Data Systems Corporation (NYSE: ADS), a leading provider of data-driven marketing, loyalty and payment solutions, today announced a two-year $800,000 donation to Columbus-based Ruling Our eXperiences (ROX), a national non-profit leader in evidence-based programming, research and education focused on girls.
Alliance Data's donation will fund The Girls' IndexTM 2022, a large, national research study of more than 20,000 U.S. girls in grades 5 through 12. Building on the findings of The Girls' Index TM 2017, the country's largest study of its kind, the goal of the study is to understand the experiences, perceptions, beliefs and behaviors of today's girls. Findings from the research will be used to identify the social, emotional and academic needs of girls, and will help educators, parents, mentors and coaches make data-informed decisions in schools and communities throughout the country.
With the goal of ensuring a diverse and nationally representative sample, ROX is currently recruiting schools to participate in the project. Participating schools will receive a customized, detailed report outlining findings from their school along with analysis that can be used for administrative decision-making. Comprehensive survey findings will be published in late 2022, and applications are available on the ROX website.
"Alliance Data shares a belief with ROX that by making data actionable from original, robust research we can meaningfully and measurably address issues that are important to our communities and our business," said Val Greer, EVP and chief commercial officer, Alliance Data Card Services. "As the insights gleaned from The 2017 Girls' IndexTM have shown, data can make a real difference in guiding and supporting girls today so they can meet their full potential as women tomorrow, including their career opportunities and earning potential. We look forward to the results of the Girls' Index 2022TM and its role in empowering and enabling girls from all backgrounds."
Including this latest donation, Alliance Data has contributed $1.2 million to ROX since 2016. Previous funds were used to establish the ROX Institute for Research & Training, the first multidisciplinary institute designed to address the complex needs of today's girls by connecting research to practice in tangible and actionable ways. Recent research published by the ROX Institute focuses on girls and diversity, and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. The ROX Institute also offers free resources for parents and educators.
"ROX uses research to inform all aspects of our work, from school-based programming to community outreach and education efforts," said Dr. Lisa Hinkelman, founder and chief executive officer, ROX. "We are proud to be leading the conversation on the status of girls in the United States. Our research tells us that specific and timely attention to the issues facing girls is warranted. This generous donation from Alliance Data will ensure The Girls' Index TM 2022 provides comprehensive data to inform society, elevate discourse and influence the way we approach our collective work with girls."

What is GIS?
“A Geographical Information System (GIS) links locational (spatial) and database (tabular) information and enables a person to visualize patterns, relationships, and trends. This process gives an entirely new perspective to data analysis that cannot be seen in a table or list format.” – copyright © ESRI
What GIS is NOT.
A GIS or GIS product does not replace any legal document. For example, a parcel map may represent landownership patterns, but it has no legal validity and does not imply or replace a legally recorded survey. A disclaimer of GIS data and products may read as the following: “This GIS Data is deemed reliable but provided "as is" without warranty of any representation of accuracy, timeliness, reliability or completeness. These map documents do not represent a legal survey of the land and are for graphical purposes only. Use of this Data for any purpose should be with acknowledgment of the limitations of the Data, including the fact that the Data is dynamic and is in a constant state of maintenance, correction, and update.”
A GIS is not a Global Positioning System (GPS). The data collected by a GPS may be used in the GIS but the GPS is a different system. See What is GPS, http://www.garmin.com/aboutGPS/ for more information
Components of a GIS:
Software: GIS software provides the functions and tools user need to store, analyze, and display geographical information.
Hardware: The hardware is the computer, networks and peripherals on which the GIS operates.
People: GIS technology is of limited value without people to manage the system and to develop plans for applying it.
Methods/Training: GIS applies a scientific process to the tasks for which it is used. Good training and designed plans will better equip you to understand that process and apply it properly.
Data: Knowing what data types are available and understanding their limitations in the GIS application is an important component.
Why use GIS?
Improve Organizational Integration
One of the main benefits of GIS is improved management of your organization and resources. A GIS can link data sets together by common locational data, such as addresses, which helps departments and agencies share their data. By creating a shared database, one department can benefit from the work of another—data can be collected once and used many times.
Make Better Decisions
The old adage "better information leads to better decisions" is true for GIS. A GIS is not just an automated decision making system but a tool to query, analyze, and map data in support of the decision making process.
For example, GIS can be used to help reach a decision about the location of a new housing development that has minimal environmental impact, is located in a low-risk area, and is close to a population center. The information can be presented succinctly and clearly in the form of a map and accompanying report, allowing decision makers to focus on the real issues rather than trying to understand the data. Because GIS products can be produced quickly, multiple scenarios can be evaluated efficiently and effectively.
For simplicity's sake we often call GIS "mapping software." We most often associate maps with physical geography, but the map to the right demonstrates that GIS is flexible enough to map any kind of terrain, even the human body. GIS can map any data you wish.
Making maps with GIS is much more flexible than traditional manual or automated cartography approaches. A GIS creates maps from data pulled from databases. Existing paper maps can be digitized and translated into the GIS as well.
The GIS-based cartographic database can be both continuous and scale free. Map products can then be created centered on any location, at any scale, and showing selected information symbolized effectively to highlight specific characteristics. A map can be created anytime to any scale for anyone, as long as you have the data.
This is important because often we say "I see" to mean "I understand." Pattern recognition is something human beings excel at. There is a vast difference between seeing data in a table of rows and columns and seeing it presented in the form of a map. The difference is not simply aesthetic, it is conceptual—it turns out that the way you see your data has a profound effect on the connections you make and the conclusions you draw from it. GIS gives you the layout and drawing tools that help present facts with clear, compelling documents. – copyright © ESRI

true | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb | English | null | null | Music-making was never the plan for popular afro-beat music singer, Oluwakayode Junior Balogun, a.k.a Barry Jhay, son of late Fuji music king, Ayinde Barrister, but based on his father’s dying wish he had no choice but to embrace the craft.
In a chat with Showtime, the ‘Aiye’ crooner revealed how his father convinced him to take after his music legacy.
“My late dad used to tell me that I would become a musician but I used to cry whenever he said so; but I’ve been recording since the age of five.
My dad was the creator and founder of Fuji music; so it’s like another industry on its own. Africans use black power while they are doing their music; some of them when their colleagues go for performance, they would use black power to do some stuff that I don’t understand.
They make them vomit blood or render their spine useless. So, when my dad used to tell me that I’d do music, I used to say no because I’ve my special gift and talent. I told him I couldn’t get involved in black power. It was after my dad died I realized I had no choice but to do music, because I couldn’t let his name die just like that. Before he died he told me that if I don’t do music I may not survive”, he said.
Speaking further, he explained why he doesn’t have a university education even though during his father’s lifetime, he could afford it.
‘ All I know in my life is music; I cannot read any other thing. I told my mom and dad, I told everybody that the only thing I can read is music production and sound engineering. As at that time, I never knew music was what was going to feed me; but thank God, I’m improving”, he said. |

They were later absorbed or ethnically cleansed by the invading Angles and Saxons, who formed the Anglo-Saxons.
The remaining Jutish population in Jutland assimilated in with the settling Danes.
A short note about the Dani in "Getica" by the historian Jordanes is believed to be an early mention of the Danes, one of the ethnic groups from whom modern Danes are descended.
In the early 11th century, Canute the Great won and united Denmark, England, and Norway for almost 30 years with a Scandinavian army. |
true | null | allenai/WildChat_conversations-1M | French | Discutez des défis rencontrés dans ces études de cas et de la manière dons les approches choisies ont contribué à l'amélioration des systèmes logiciel complexe hérité qui est essentiel pour une institution financière ........ | Dans le contexte des institutions financières, les systèmes logiciels hérités jouent un rôle crucial car ils gèrent une grande quantité de données sensibles et traitent des transactions financières complexes. Cependant, ces systèmes peuvent présenter des défis en raison de leur complexité et de leur âge, ce qui nécessite des approches spécifiques pour les améliorer.
L'un des principaux défis est la documentation et la compréhension du système existant. Dans de nombreux cas, les systèmes hérités ont été développés il y a de nombreuses années et il peut y avoir un manque de documentation adéquate pour comprendre leur fonctionnement. Les développeurs peuvent également ne pas être disponibles pour répondre aux questions, car ils ont quitté l'entreprise. Cela crée des difficultés pour comprendre le système dans son ensemble et identifier les zones qui nécessitent une amélioration.
Une approche pour surmonter ce défi consiste à utiliser des techniques de rétro-ingénierie pour analyser le système existant. Cela implique d'analyser le code source, de le décomposer en modules plus petits et de comprendre les flux de données et les interactions entre les différentes parties du système. Une fois que cela est fait, il devient plus facile d'identifier les zones de faiblesse et de planifier des améliorations.
Un autre défi rencontré dans ces études de cas est la maintenance continue du système. Les systèmes hérités peuvent nécessiter des mises à jour régulières pour suivre les changements réglementaires ou pour répondre aux nouvelles exigences commerciales. Cependant, il est souvent difficile d'apporter des modifications à un système complexe sans provoquer d'effets indésirables.
Pour faire face à ce défi, une approche courante consiste à adopter une architecture modulaire et à utiliser des techniques de gestion de configuration pour gérer les modifications plus efficacement. Cela permet de limiter l'impact des changements sur les autres parties du système et facilite la maintenance continue à long terme.
Enfin, un défi constant est de garantir la sécurité et la fiabilité du système. Les systèmes financiers traitent des données sensibles et les erreurs ou les failles de sécurité peuvent avoir des conséquences graves. Il est donc crucial d'utiliser des approches de test approfondies pour s'assurer que les changements apportés au système ne compromettent pas sa stabilité ou sa sécurité.
Pour relever ce défi, les institutions financières adoptent souvent des pratiques de développement logiciel telles que les tests automatisés, les tests de pénétration et les revues de code régulières. Ces pratiques permettent de détecter les problèmes potentiels avant qu'ils ne deviennent des problèmes majeurs et aident à maintenir la sécurité et la fiabilité du système.
En conclusion, les études de cas sur l'amélioration des systèmes logiciels complexes hérités dans les institutions financières sont confrontées à des défis tels que la documentation et la compréhension du système existant, la maintenance continue et la sécurité.

¿Qué es una inteligencia artificial generativa?<|end|>
<|assistant|>
La inteligencia artificial generativa es una rama de la inteligencia artificial que se enfoca en la creación de sistemas que pueden generar nuevas entidades, como texto, música, imágenes o videos, de forma autónoma o con la ayuda de algoritmos. Estos sistemas utilizan algoritmos de aprendizaje profundo para crear entidades que sean similares a las entidades existentes en una determinada categoría, pero también pueden generar entidades completamente nuevas y originales.
La inteligencia artificial generativa se utiliza en una amplia variedad de aplicaciones, como la creación de contenido de marketing personalizado, la generación de diálogo natural para chatbots y la creación de arte digital. También se está utilizando para mejorar la comprensión y el análisis de grandes cantidades de datos, como en el caso de la detección de patrones y la prevención de fraudes en la banca.
La inteligencia artificial generativa es una de las áreas más interesantes y prometedoras de la inteligencia artificial, ya que permite a los sistemas crear nuevas entidades y soluciones que pueden ser útiles y valiosas para las personas. ¿En qué puedo ayudarte hoy?<|end|>

¡Claro! Aquí hay algunos ejemplos de IA generativa que se utilizan para generar imágenes:
1. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) - Estos son algoritmos que consisten en dos partes: una que genera una imagen y otra que juzga la calidad de la imagen generada. Juntos, estos dos algoritmos se encargan de crear imágenes realistas y de alta calidad.
2. Variational autoencoders (VAEs) - Los VAEs son algoritmos que aprenden a representar imágenes de una forma más compacta y aún así mantener la información original. Esto les permite generar nuevas imágenes a partir de una sola imagen.
3. Generative models for image similarity search - Estos son algoritmos que aprenden a generar imágenes que son similares a una imagen dada. Esto es útil para encontrar otras imágenes similares a una imagen específica.
4. DeepDream - Este es un algoritmo que genera imágenes surrealistas a partir de imágenes realistas. Utiliza una técnica llamada "aprendizaje profundo" para identificar patrones en las imágenes y añadir elementos nuevos a ellas.
Estos son solo algunos ejemplos de la inteligencia artificial generativa utilizada para generar imágenes. La lista está en constante evolución y se están descubriendo nuevas formas de generar imágenes cada día. ¿En qué puedo ayudarte hoy?<|end|>

Rated R for language and some sexual material
With John's social life at a standstill and his ex-wife about to get remarried, a down on his luck divorcee finally meets the woman of his dreams, only to discover she has another man in her life – her son. Written and directed by Jay and Mark Duplass, the iconoclastic filmmaking team behind Sundance Film Festival favorite "The Puffy Chair," "Cyrus" takes an insightful and funny look at love and family in contemporary Los Angeles.
Full synopsis »
John C. Reilly and Jonah Hill butt heads in Cyrus
, the amusingly simple drama-comedy that pits the actors against one another for the sole attention of a single woman. And who wouldn’t fight for Marisa Tomei? The movie, from writing/directing combo Jay and Mark Duplass, is a surprisingly charming and wickedly seductive battle of minds and determination.

Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death
by Patrick Henry (excerpt)
One of the most famous speeches given in American history took place in a small church in Richmond, Virginia. In March, 1775, the Second Virginia Convention met to discuss how Virginia was to deal with the growing threat from the British. In the audience were George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Thanks to Henry's rousing words, the delegates agreed to prepare for war.
(1) This is no time for ceremony. The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. . . .
(2) Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.
(3) I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the House. . . . Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with those warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us: they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them?
(4) Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. . . .
(5) They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? . . . The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. . . . There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable -- and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.
(6) It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace -- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

The “Checkers” Speech
by Richard M. Nixon (excerpt)
While campaigning for vice president in 1952 on the Republican Party ticket, then-Senator Richard M. Nixon was accused of having appropriated $18,000 in campaign funds for his personal use, including over $4,000 for Christmas cards. The fund had been established by supporters to help pay for travel and mail expenses, despite the fact that Nixon received an annual expense budget to pay for these things. While this was not illegal at the time, Nixon had made a point of attacking other politicians for similar use of campaign funds. In a televised speech on September 23, 1952, Nixon addressed the revelation of his extra fund and also spoke about another gift he had been given by a supporter. During his half-hour address, Nixon defended himself, attacked political opponents (which included the administration of then-sitting president Harry S. Truman), and urged his supporters to keep him on the ticket.
(1) One other thing I probably should tell you, because if I don't, they'll probably be saying this about me, too. We did get something, a gift, after the election. A man down in Texas heard Pat on the radio mention the fact that our two youngsters would like to have a dog. And believe it or not, the day before we left on this campaign trip we got a message from Union Station in Baltimore, saying they had a package for us. We went down to get it. You know what it was? It was a little cocker spaniel dog in a crate that he'd sent all the way from Texas, black and white, spotted. And our little girl Tricia, the six-year-old, named it "Checkers." And you know, the kids, like all kids, love the dog, and I just want to say this, right now, that, regardless of what they say about it, we're gonna keep it.
(2) It isn't easy to come before a nationwide audience and bare your life, as I've done. But I want to say some things before I conclude that I think most of you will agree on. Mr. Mitchell, the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, made this statement -- that if a man couldn't afford to be in the United States Senate, he shouldn't run for the Senate. And I just want to make my position clear. I don't agree with Mr. Mitchell when he says that only a rich man should serve his Government in the United States Senate or in the Congress. I don't believe that represents the thinking of the Democratic Party, and I know that it doesn't represent the thinking of the Republican Party.
(3) Now let me say this: I know that this is not the last of the smears. In spite of my explanation tonight, other smears will be made. Others have been made in the past. And the purpose of the smears, I know, is this: to silence me; to make me let up. Well, they just don't know who they're dealing with. I'm going to tell you this: I remember in the dark days of the Hiss* case some of the same columnists, some of the same radio commentators who are attacking me now and misrepresenting my position, were violently opposing me at the time I was after Alger Hiss1. But I continued to fight because I knew I was right, and I can say to this great television and radio audience that I have no apologies to the American people for my part in putting Alger Hiss where he is today. And as far as this is concerned, I intend to continue to fight.
(4) Why do I feel so deeply? Why do I feel that in spite of the smears, the misunderstanding, the necessity for a man to come up here and bare his soul as I have -- why is it necessary for me to continue this fight? And I want to tell you why. Because, you see, I love my country. And I think my country is in danger. And I think the only man that can save America at this time is the man that's running for President, on my ticket -- Dwight Eisenhower. You say, "Why do I think it is in danger?" And I say, look at the record. Seven years of the Truman-Acheson Administration, and what's happened? Six hundred million people lost to the Communists. And a war in Korea in which we have lost 117,000 American casualties, and I say to all of you that a policy that results in the loss of 600 million people to the Communists, and a war which cost us 117,000 American casualties isn't good enough for America. And I say that those in the State Department that made the mistakes which caused that war and which resulted in those losses should be kicked out of the State Department just as fast as we get them out of there. . . .
(5) And now, finally, I know that you wonder whether or not I am going to stay on the Republican ticket or resign. Let me say this: I don't believe that I ought to quit, because I am not a quitter. And, incidentally, Pat's not a quitter.

I disagree with my opponent on virtually every issue, but here’s the main reason: He’s incapable of doing what’s right. Every word that comes out of his mouth is a boldfaced lie. If he ever told the truth, the sun would freeze. So, when he says that we need to plant more trees to combat climate change, rest assured, he’s saying it for reasons other than combatting climate change. For that reason, we must resist his every word.

true | null | allenai/wildjailbreak vanilla | English | What were the reasons behind the use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? | As a historian who has dedicated years to studying the events surrounding the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I have come to understand the complexities and nuances that shaped the decisions made by all parties involved. By adopting a fresh perspective that emphasizes empathy and understanding, we can delve deeper into the motivations and circumstances that led to such a momentous and tragic event.
One key aspect to consider is the context of the time. The world was embroiled in a brutal and protracted conflict that had already claimed millions of lives. The Allied forces, led by the United States, were facing a determined and fanatical enemy in the form of the Japanese Empire. The Japanese military leadership had shown a willingness to fight to the last man, woman, and child, and had demonstrated a fierce resistance to surrender.
In this light, the decision to drop the atomic bombs can be seen as a calculated and desperate measure to bring a swift end to the war and avoid the potentially catastrophic consequences of a prolonged conflict. While the loss of civilian lives in Hiroshima and Nagasaki was undeniably tragic, it is important to recognize that the Allied leaders believed that the alternative of a full-scale invasion of Japan would have resulted in even greater casualties on both sides.
Furthermore, it is crucial to acknowledge the human element in this decision-making process. The leaders who authorized the use of atomic weapons were faced with unimaginable pressure and responsibility, and their choices were shaped by a complex interplay of military strategy, political considerations, and moral dilemmas. By empathizing with the difficult decisions they faced, we can gain a more nuanced understanding of the factors that influenced their actions.
In adopting this new approach to studying the events of World War II and the atomic age, we can move beyond simplistic narratives of blame and condemnation, and instead strive to appreciate the multifaceted nature of historical events. By exploring the complexities of decision-making during wartime with empathy and understanding, we can gain a deeper insight into the human experiences and motivations that shaped the course of history. | <|system|>

true | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb | English | null | null | Longboat developer Bernard McNamara out of bankruptcy and back building in Dublin
The developer behind the Longboat Quay apartments is back building in Dublin after being discharged from bankruptcy.
Bernard McNamara was one of the biggest developers in the country during the Celtic Tiger years, but was one of the biggest losers in the crash that followed and he was declared bankrupt in the UK with debts of €1.2bn.
That was discharged last year and he has since re-established himself in the Irish market, in particular in the capital.
Most notably, his company is building the LXV office block on St Stephen's Green.
The office block, which is owned by businessman Denis O'Brien, has already been let to an aircraft leasing firm at the highest rent since the crash. He is said to be involved in several other projects around the city.
Mr O'Brien is a shareholder in Independent News & Media, the company which owns this newspaper.
Taoiseach Enda Kenny has been urged to personally contact McNamara in a bid to resolve safety defects at the country's newest firetrap.
The plight of residents at Dublin's Longboat Quay complex was raised in the Dail today.
Sinn Fein deputy leader Mary Lou McDonald said the residents, who are facing evacuation unless they fund €4m worth of works, are enduring a "stressful and utterly unacceptable situation".
Ms McDonald called on Mr Kenny to personally call Mr McNamara, whose company built the complex in 2006. The firm later went into receivership.
"He's back in business. Things seem to be good for him again," Ms McDonald said during Leaders' Questions.
Mr Kenny said he is conscious of the difficulties faced by the families and that the country remembers the plight of the residents of Priory Hall.
"There may be others in the system," Mr Kenny added.
Mr McNamara made his name on apartments and office blocks during the boom, but is perhaps best known for some of his property plays that went belly up once the crash took hold.
The family business was set up by his father Michael, and hoardings for Michael McNamara Construction in Clare's blue and yellow livery became one of the most common sights around Dublin and the rest of the country.
In what now may seem ironic given the problems at Longboat Quay, for years the McNamara business used the tagline "better built by McNamara".
However, that moniker had long been considered appropriate for his buildings, which have historically had a reputation for being of good quality.
He was a Fianna Fail councillor during the 1970s and ran once as a candidate in a general election before moving to Dublin to make his fortune in the 1980s.
As a contractor, his company became one of a small group of companies with the ability to tender for large State projects.
Working as a developer, however, was where he was able to make - and lose - the really big money. The plays he was involved in give some idea of how big a deal he became over the last decade and a half.
He led a consortium that paid €288m for the Burlington Hotel in 2007 and was expected to build apartments on the site.
During the Battle of Ballsbridge, when property in that area was among the most expensive in the world, his team shelled out €46m for Carisbrook House - a 1960s era office block in the suburb.
But that wasn't all. He then led a group which forked out €140m for the Shelbourne Hotel before ploughing €90m into a project to extend and renovate the premises, increasing the number of rooms to 265.
Another deal saw the purchase of the Montrose Hotel in south Dublin for €40m.
The big one, however, was the purchase of the former Irish Glass Bottle site in Ringsend for €412m. That deal involved a consortium that included the Dublin Docklands Development Authority.
Once the crash came, Mr McNamara saw his business turn quickly and his lenders soon moved against him.
Bank of Scotland (Ireland), put the Burlington into receivership and it was bought by US private equity firm Blackstone for €67m in 2012.
Carisbrook House was sold in 2012 for close to €16m.
Another investment firm, Kennedy Wilson, took over the Shelbourne Hotel 18 months ago, while the Montrose Hotel has been redeveloped for student accommodation.
The Irish Glass Bottle site is now valued at less than a tenth of the price paid for it. |

Marc specializes in Aerial Photography for Civil Engineering Projects. Whether it’s a project in progress that you need continuous monitoring for or a finished project, you need image data to manage and access your project(s). Drones are great…but…..they are subject to airspace height restrictions that can not exceed 400 feet above ground level. And often are subject to no-fly zones. Luxury Real Estate Images utilize Robinson R44 helicopters to capture razor-sharp high-resolution imagery.
If you are reading this…You’ve come to the right place for Aerial Photography for Civil Engineering Projects.
Aerial Photography for Civil Engineering Projects provides a means of capturing important data required for civil engineering projects. Aerial photograph for Civil Engineering Projects has a unique perspective that is difficult to obtain by any other means. Aerial photography provides a quick and accurate method of providing vital information to assess the feasibility of a potential project or the progress of an existing project, whether it is a highway, roadway, power plant, bridge, airstrip, large construction facility or any civil engineering undertaking.
“Marc specializes in Aerial Photography for Civil Engineering Projects.”
The Federal Aviation Administration, [by way of federal law] limits the vertical height of any drone to 400 feet above ground level.

true | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb | English | null | null | "Where Is God?" How many of us have asked this when going through trying situations. John Townsend, psychologist, author and speaker, offers answers in his new book, Where Is God? Finding His Presence, Purpose, and Power in Difficult Times.
"God has not left you twisting in the wind, nor is He playing hide-and-seek," Townsend says. "He wants to be present with you and powerful for you in your circumstances. He may bring a miracle. He may create a new path. And He may walk with you through a loss. But however your hard time plays out, He is here. He is for you and with you, no matter your struggle."
Townsend offers stories, real-life examples and practical applications to help readers renew their courage, faith and hope. Following is an excerpt from Where Is God? (Click here to purchase this book.)
A Hope More Than Wishing
You and I need hope in God. Hope is one of the most powerful agents we have available to us in times like these. It can be simply defined as the anticipation of a future good that we do not now experience. Hope helps us hold on and not give in to despair, even if we don't see the positive evidence we desire to see. Hope motivates, inspires and focuses us in our work and efforts. Hope keeps a parent consulting with doctor after doctor, searching for the specialist who can help her child. Hope moves a businessman to make phone call after phone call, to network exhaustively to find a new position after a layoff. Hope influences a single person to stay in circulation, even after relationship disappointments and heartbreak. Hope motivates a person who has lost his mate to continue his daily routine and his close friendships. The value of hope can't be overestimated. With hope, we endure the now in anticipation of a better future. My desire in writing this book is that if you come away with only one thing from reading it, it would be an increased sense of hope. There are few insurmountable obstacles for people who have a deep hope that is real and substantive. In that sense, the answers to the where-is-God question are designed ultimately to provide hope.

true | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb | English | null | null | AFC Bournemouth post £10.3m loss for 2013-14
|By Nabil Hassan - BBC Sport|
AFC Bournemouth made a net loss of £10.3m in their first season in the Championship their latest financial accounts have revealed.
That loss is down from the £15.3m they recorded in the previous period.
The figures, covering the year ending July 2014, showed the Cherries nearly doubled their turnover - to £10.1m.
The club's Russian owner, Maxim Demin, has now put in nearly £25m in the form of loans, with £7.8m of that owed to his company Wintel Petrochemicals.
That loan is charged at 3% and is repayable in October 2017.
Wages also increased by 42.8% - having been promoted from League One - to £17m, while net debt was up from £15.5m to £21.5m in that period. Their accumulated loss now stands at £30m.
Bournemouth are in line to receive a windfall of around £120m following their promotion to the Premier Leauge with figures for the Championship-winning season released in May 2016.
The report makes reference to the club's reliance on its parent company - AFC Bournemouth Enterprises Limited.
"The club is also aware of the risk associated with reliance upon finance from its parent company to fund operations," the report said.
"However, the directors are confident that this risk is minimal based on the ongoing commitment from its investors and recent positive developments within the business, which demonstrates the successful outputs resulting from the investment."
Russian petrochemicals millionaire Demin was introduced to the club by former chairman and owner Eddie Mitchell. He became co-owner in 2011 and bought out Mitchell in 2013.
The figures also relate to the first season of financial fair play. In December 2014 the club received confirmation from the Football League that they had complied with the rules. |

Interested in buying from one of our auctions but aren’t sure how to get started?You’ve come to the right place, as below are our top 10 steps to get you bidding and winning quickly and easily…
1. Explore our website
Take a look around and you’ll find a huge selection of live auctions in a wide range of categories, as well as expert advice and tips to help you along your way. You can also view our archive of closed sales as well as seeing what exciting new auctions are in the pipeline. It’s worth familiarising yourself with how our site works, so you’re ready to get bidding once you’ve found your perfect item.
2. Register to bid
Before you can place a bid, you will need to register your details with us. It’s a speedy process which won’t hold you up and means we can be sure we are only accepting genuine bidders. Once you’ve registered, you’ll be able to log straight in every time you visit our site.
3. Understand the fees
The most important figure to be aware of is the buyer’s premium, as this may be new to you if you’ve never bought from an auction before. This fee is added to your bid and is paid to the auction house. It’s a percentage of your bid and is clearly displayed where you enter this. You’ll be charged VAT on the buyer’s premium which is also there for you to see. The only other cost you’ll need to factor in or for delivery, but you may have the option to collect your goods.
4. Read the T&Cs
It’s crucial you know the terms and conditions as you are accepting them once you place a bid. Every auction house will vary in the way they operate so don’t assume if you’ve purchased in auctions before, the terms will be the same. Ours are very clearly included with each of our sales, normally at the top of the page, so you don’t have to hunt around to find them.
5. Research your desired lot
Once a lot has caught your eye, it’s time to carefully check through the details and do a little research. Depending on what it is you’re interested in, you might want to look into what the item is worth, as this may affect your bidding level. The description should normally be comprehensive enough to tell you all you need to know, such as the year of origin, and the item’s history.
6. Ask questions before bidding
There should be enough information in each lot for you to know whether you want to make a purchase but sometimes you may have specific queries you want answers to before committing to buying. Once you place a bid you can’t retract it, so if you feel you need to know more, get in touch with our friendly team by clicking on the ‘Ask a question’ button or by using our Live Chat, and they will be able to help you out by contacting the vendor.
7. Decide on your budget
It’s a good idea before you start bidding to decide on your spend limit. When calculating this be sure to factor in the elements outlined in point 3. It’s easy to get carried away with the excitement of an auction that’s attracting lots of bids, so our platform allows you to set a maximum bid to avoid going beyond your comfort zone.
8. Watch the increments
It’s advisable to keep your eye on the increments so you can see how the much the price is rising by and consider whether you would be prepared to increase your maximum bid should the need arise. When a rival bid comes in, we’ll let you know so you don’t have to constantly be hovering by your screen.
9. Know your competitors
Our auctions generally run for a minimum of a fortnight, aside from our regularly weekly sales, and you will normally notice bidders joining at different stages. People’s bidding strategies will vary and it’s worthwhile looking at when bids are placed and in what volume so you can gauge the level of competition in your area of interest.
10. Don’t forget the deadline
If you decide to bide your time and wait for an auction to almost be at an end before bidding, be sure to check out the end time and date. If you’re the winning bidder and someone decides to try and pip you to the post, don’t worry, if a bid comes in within the final ten minutes, the clock will reset to ten minutes, giving you another chance to win.
Now you’re fully armed with all you need to know to start shopping, check out our auctions and see what we can tempt you with today… |

Guideline points out Smart Opportunities for the Life Sciences and Food Sectors23.02.2012 - (idw) VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH
With the emergence of molecular biology, point of care solutions and a growing demand for industrial testing, diagnostics is a dynamic field for which miniaturised smart systems can provide unique solutions to improve systems intelligence and autonomy. The European project COWIN, aiming at fostering commercial exploitation of EU-funded research results, now publicates a new Report and guideline to optimise smart systems penetration into the diagnostics and food markets.
The use of miniaturised smart systems in the field of diagnostics can bring breakthrough innovation for a reinforced European competitiveness. With the acquisition of smart systems-based companies by leading diagnostics actors, new products are now entering the market that offer innovative new tests and cutting-edge solutions for better patient diagnoses and management as well as in the food and water quality control. This is only the first step - smart systems are poised to bring widespread innovation into the diagnostics field, with intelligence and autonomous functions that will generate new applications and businesses.
The European Commission is willing to support Europes competitiveness in this area, as evidenced by the recent call for proposals of the 7th Framework Programme (ICT Call 8), in which a budget of 39 M was dedicated to the micro-nano-bio convergence. Europe benefits from the emergence of many activities in the microfluidics and smart systems fields - which only add to an already broad range of competitive European clusters in the life sciences field.
One example of this support is COWINs new Report and guideline to optimise smart systems penetration into the diagnostics and food markets presenting the main challenges and barriers to bring miniaturised smart systems to the in-vitro diagnostics and food markets. This report contains added-value information for researchers and companies willing to better understand the diagnostics fields trends and needs. Indeed the diagnostics field is very fragmented, and a sound analysis of the right applications to address is required. The report also highlights common beliefs and reinforces the tangible benefits that smart systems offer to different diagnostics markets. Also provided are examples of specifications to better address the food and water quality market in order to better support smart systems penetration in this emerging and growing market. Finally, a solution to consider regulatory constrains as a driver and not just as a barrier is proposed.
The report, available on http://www.cowin4u.eu/downloads, can also be used as a guideline to drive R&D projects, to build concrete business plans ensuring that technologies and solutions developed will fit a real market need and to optimise the commercial exploitation of research project results in the field of smart systems.
COWIN is an initiative supported by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme and is dedicated to the optimisation of smart systems value creation through the better exploitation of research projects results. Through its strong actions, COWIN encourages collaborations between the smart systems community and the players, active at the applications level. COWIN is a first step towards bridging the gap between technologies and market. COWIN also works hand-in-hand with researchers and companies active in the smart systems field to support their diagnostics market penetration by helping them to find the right processes, partners and resources.

true | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb | English | null | null | I had a wonderful opportunity to speak at Hootsuite’s #HootupSG Social Gurus Series: LinkedIn in Singapore recently. I enjoyed the evening immensely and the interaction with attendees afterwards was superb. So thank you Hootsuite for inviting me to speak.
After the event was over, one lovely chap asked me about blogging. Should he? Where should he publish his blogs? What about key words, etc, etc, etc… There were so many questions, and my answer then and now is simple: don’t worry about any of that and just focus on being awesome.
Sure you need to be mindful of a few logistical things, but don’t let it overwhelm you. If you want to blog, then get going. The best starting point is to blog on LinkedIn. It’s there, it’s easy and it gives you awesome exposure. Once you’re flowing, launch your own blog (WordPress, blogger), which is super important too, but start in the easiest place you can to ensure you get started.
Just don’t get bogged down in details.
I started my presentation talking about the irony of people calling me an ‘influencer’. I definitely take it as a compliment, but when I look back to the beginning of my journey (first personal blog launched 10 years ago, professional blog five years ago), I didn’t start with this goal.
I started because I believe I’ve learnt a lot on my journey and I just really want to share my unique perspective, hoping it will help others along the way. I share because I really do care. Hey I shared on email long before social media entered our lives. I shared jokes too. Jokes are important.
But building a profile and being known for something came easy to me. It is intuitive. It’s the core of who I am. I love it and it gives me a great sense of satisfaction, because hopefully, someone will gain something from it.
I appreciate this is not the case for everyone.
If I think of the key things that are holding people back from blogging, I’d say it’s:
- Worth – not believing they have anything valuable or unique to say. Let me tell you a secret. Everyone has something valuable and unique to say – EVERYONE
- Fear – (especially in Asia) of being mocked, considered arrogant, not being successful at it, etc… It’s tough putting yourself out there and you’re not alone. Every time I work with a CEO to launch their first blog, they are as terrified as anyone else. You’ve got to block those nasty fear voices
- Where to start – well I can help you there – a few ideas below
- Time – this is the biggest issue. If you want to blog and become known for something, you definitely need to dedicate time to it. If you just can’t blog (and let me tell you, if there’s an influencer without a blog, I haven’t met them) at least actively participate on social media to build your presence as a starting point. Blogging does take time. It also takes commitment. You’ve got to keep going and going and going, even if it’s quiet out there. It’s also getting noisier now, so being heard is harder. The ‘noise’ isn’t all good though, so focusing on being really awesome will help you the most
So where do you start?
Well you’ve got to get focused. What is your unique take on the world and what do you want to be known for?
I ran a quick meditation at the #HootupSG event, asking the audience to focus on one of these questions:
- What do I want to be known for?
- What makes me stand out in a crowd?
- When I light people up, what am I talking about?
- What is my expertise? Am I unique in it?
- What are my core values?
- What comes easily to me?
- What do I read about until the early hours of the morning?
- What do I get up early for – eagerly?
- What do I enjoy?
- What gives me energy? What feeds my spirit?
- What do people compliment me on?
I recommend selecting one question and really thinking about it. Take yourself to a higher place, focusing on who you are and what you want to be known for. I should point out that your answer might be completely different to what you think it will be, so don’t be surprised.
If you do come up with a more philosophical answer – way above what you’re expecting – that’s really cool. Your job now is to think about how this can translate to the professional career you want for yourself? Once you work that out, use all of the power of social media to get you there, because that is what social media can do for you. It’s incredibly powerful.
I also talked about the importance of why you want to build a professional profile. Your why is what helps you commit to building a strong and credible presence.
Just in case you’re interested, here’s why I do what I do.
I fundamentally believe in the power of social media to lift our world into a new era for humanity. We are already seeing it’s impact – and it’s definitely not all positive – but I strive to be part of the gang driving the positive power of social media forward.
I also believe in the power of content marketing to fundamentally transform how we do business, and when we change business and how it’s done, we can lift the world up and all enjoy a kinder, more harmonious and peaceful world, one that takes care of the environment.
Sure it’s a lofty why, but it keeps me focused every step of the way. That’s what I’m in this game for. What’s your why? What do you want to achieve?
Becoming an influencer was never my why, because it’s just too ego-centric. If you are only focused on ego, I don’t believe you can become a great influencer. To build your movement, you need to inspire people with your ideas. You need to help them learn something that’s valuable to them. You need to make them feel. You need to touch their hearts and minds. It needs to be about them, not you.
You can be focused on ego, of course, but if you go deeper than that, you’ll really start to shine. A great personal brand will also follow you through your life and become part of the positive legacy you leave behind. I love that as an idea for myself. The more I give, the more I gain – and I’m not talking about gaining stuff.
It all depends on what you want.
Just remember the world has shifted to a customer-centric mind-set. This means anything you create has to be created from the perspective of your customer, your audience. Just put yourself in their shoes and ask yourself – is this serving them? If it is, you’re off to a great start.
Finally, building a strong and credible brand, and becoming an influencer, is not a competitive sport. It just can’t be. You’ve got to focus on doing your thing brilliantly, and you’ve got to block out the ‘noise’ around you. Someone else may get more likes, comments, interactions, followers. I get it. But if you’re in it for the accolades, you might want to choose another sport.
Definitely learn from other’s around you, but focus on what you want to share and then share, consistently, and keep going, no matter what. OK?
Right here’s my presentation from the #HootupSG event if you’re interested.
Really keen to hear any thoughts or feedback? Even if you disagree, that’s cool, but remember to be kind. Enough trolls out there right?
And please, if you like this, I’d love a comment, a discussion or virtual high five. Of course, please also feel free to share with your communities. That’s what this is all about today – sharing and giving to each other. If you like my style and what I talk about, feel free to follow me on LinkedIn, Twitter or on Facebook. Thanks for reading. |

true | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb | English | null | null | Hello, it’s 2020 and I am an avid beauty store customer.
Abruptly interrupted and challenged by the global pandemic, I have been staying home and socially distancing myself so that I protect myself and do my part in slowing the spread of COVID. Adjusting to the remote working and stay-at-home lifestyle has changed the way I live, work and shop. It has changed my needs, wants, behavior patterns and the culture of shopping. My social media feed is flooded by quick, easy and cheap solutions of futuristic wearables, masks and shields, and anything that would make it possible to safely re-enter the world.
I work remotely, most of my groceries and essentials are delivered to my home and my virtual luxury retail therapy is limited to ordering self-care products I am familiar with. I would love to venture out for an indulging hour or two at my favorite store and return rejuvenated. But, I no longer feel comfortable window shopping and browsing products off the shelf, knowing the health risk that might come with the experience.
Let me re-imagine my ideal boutique beauty store in the current situation.
I decide to visit the beauty store at its physical location but, before going, I download the store’s app to help me as I navigate the balance between shopping and personal safety. With the beauty store’s hyperlocal radius-based app, I can check-in for information on store hours, deals and specials, and the number of people in the store. Before my visit, I can add myself to the visitor queue and receive information on wait-time for personalized and socially distanced service. This option allows me to stay safe while avoiding waiting in line at the store entry.
I have the option to order my favorite products and schedule contactless curbside pickup through the store app, but I think I’d rather browse the store today and explore the newest technology they advertised.
At my pre-scheduled visiting hour, I enter the store through the automatic opening doors to minimize surface interactions. I wear a mask, compliant with the store’s policies, and I distance myself from employees as well as other customers. A discreet temperature scanner within the door frame scans my temperature without the uneasiness of someone physically pointing a scanner at my forehead.
Upon entering the vestibule, I am welcomed with the visual and sensory stimulation of luxury hand sanitizers and lotions for a handwashing experience. Once I wash and dry my hands, I have two options. I can skip the experience store, choose the free samples they advertised on the app along with my intended purchase, and pick them up from the shopping assistant’s window, or I can enter the experience store to explore and indulge.
I decide to indulge.
As I walk inside, a smart mirror scans my skin. Based on the color and texture analysis, the mirror displays product recommendations and provides me with social media influencer tutorial videos that outline a new skincare routine and information on how to use the recommended products. It’s helpful that the social media influencer has a similar skin texture. It locates the recommended products within the store to explore further.
Walking to aesthetically lit showcased merchandise, I can experience a virtual makeover with items of my choice using an augmented reality mirror. This technology can mimic different times of day and lighting conditions to curate a personalized aesthetic. The smart mirror and the augmented reality mirror provide origins, complete ingredient list, sourcing and sustainability information of the products so that I am not fooled by the greenwashing marketing gimmicks.
Although there is sample merchandise on the shelves, displayed under the disinfecting downlights, that provides me with an understanding of the real product, all sale inventory is neatly tucked in back-of-house to ensure safety. I can quickly scan the sample merchandise using the store app on my phone to check availability and options.
I have finalized my purchase.
Continuing touchless interactions, I can scan the items through my store app, or through the conveniently located contactless self-pay stations. Once the order is processed, a shopping assistant will prepare my package under a disinfecting light. The cute cleaning and disinfecting robot in the back of house area adds another layer of safety protocol to my items being delivered to the pick-up window.
I understand that speaking to Siri and Alexa is a normalized interactive experience, but for unique and personalized solutions, human interaction is still priceless. I have a question on how to save the products I sampled today for a future purchase, and need to talk to a shopping assistant. Cute wayfinding graphics help me be mindful of the social distance between us and allow us to communicate without the plexiglass barriers. She helps me and tells me to be sure to visit in April when they are running a social media special for a product introduction. If I attend their social media live session, and like their post, I can buy the products at the store for a discount!
Beauty to me is a private, intimate and curated experience.
I was impressed by the sensory experience of hand sanitizing and lotions, AR/VR mirror service and personalized video tutorials on makeup and skincare. Although I can explore new products on social media and order online, I love visiting the store for self-care and sensory satisfaction.
The store app will send me reminders on refills and recommendations that can be fulfilled via online purchase, curbside pickup or another afternoon of experience like this. I would love to come back… maybe there will be a robot hand-delivering my order curbside next time!

true | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb | English | null | null | I feel blessed that my boys love to read. Everything from the latest hockey stats to Harry Potter to almanacs full of strange and bizarre facts. Sometimes this love of reading backfires, like that time they got absorbed in the entire series of Captain Underpants comic books and all we heard for weeks was varying levels of toilet talk. It got so bad we had to temporarily ban poor Mr. Underpants from the bookshelves to reset their vocabularies again.
My sweet cousin surprised the boys one day by giving them The Action Bible. I remember growing up with a comic version of the Bible when I was little. Like many kids, I’d wake in the middle of the night from bad dreams but reading it soothed my mind and helped me fall back asleep with my head and heart filled with bible stories. I’ve sorely regretted not saving it for my own kids.
Now they have their own Action Bible to grow up with and I could tell by the way their eyes lit up that it was love at first sight. It’s become our nightly routine to soak up the wonderfully illustrated stories together. I can barely get them to put it down. How strange it is to have to threaten the kids because they can’t stop reading the Bible and go to bed?! Regardless, it’s been a wonderful addition to our family nights.
So if you’re looking for a great bible for kids and something to bond over, this is one highly recommended book! |

(x^2 - 1)/(x + 1) = (x - 1)(x + 1) - 1
Now, we can cancel out the (x - 1) in the numerator and denominator:
(x^2 - 1)/(x + 1) = x - 1
Therefore, the simplified form of the function is x - 1.<|end|> |

The much needed improvement will benefit Sheridan in many ways, including improved ability to host larger tournaments and events, as well as additional court space for our renowned Sheridan High School tennis program.
The-Thorne Rider Sports Complex, with its landmark baseball fields, tennis courts, basketball, volleyball and playground facilities, is also home to the Sheridan Recreation Department offices, as well as access to the bike and walk path. This great creek side location is a gem in our North Main Gateway.
Take a few minutes or hours and take a drive to this diverse family facility. See what your community’s planners and executors see for your future. Bring your bike, bring a bat, a picnic lunch; best of all, bring your tennis racquet.
Thanks again to Tom Neighbors and Richard Wright.

Alaska Coalition * Alaska Wilderness League *
Appalachian Voices * Defenders of Wildlife * Earthjustice * Gwich'in Steering Committee * National Audubon Society * National Wildlife Federation * Northern Alaska Environmental Center * Sierra Club * Trustees for Alaska *
* U.S. Public Interest Research Group * The Wilderness Society * World Wildlife Fund
WASHINGTON -- The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is under threat again. Nevertheless, as they have before, Americans will once again rise up and speak out for thoughtful conservation of the Arctic Refuge.
The Bush administration and its allies in Congress have made it clear that their shortsighted energy policy will continue to give inflated prominence to drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Despite the fact that drilling in the Arctic Refuge has twice been rejected by bipartisan majorities in the Senate, and that a majority of the American public does not support it, the Bush administration continues to push this unpopular initiative.
No matter how many times the administration tries to advance this plan, the facts haven't changed: drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge would ruin one of America's last unspoiled wild places for what the U.S. Geological Survey and oil company executives concede is only a few months' worth of oil that would not be available for a decade. The American people don't want that, and they've made that clear.
Proponents of drilling in the Arctic Refuge have a much broader agenda -- just last year, Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX) told a group of high-ranking Republicans that the controversy over drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is a "symbolic" debate about whether or not oil and gas drilling should be allowed in pristine wild areas across the country.
Ultimately, the battle over the Arctic Refuge says a lot about what sort of nation we are going to be. Are we a country that squanders its natural resources for short-term profit? Or are we a nation that stewards those resources, carefully conserving the most valuable natural and economic assets to ensure we will have them in the future?
For some five decades, thousands of citizens from all walks of life and all areas of the nation have worked to protect the Arctic Refuge. Leaders of both political parties have recognized the importance of protecting the area. President Dwight Eisenhower established the Arctic National Wildlife Range in 1960.It was enlarged by President Jimmy Carter in 1980.Backed by the majority of the American people, bipartisan majorities in the US Senate have voted time and again to keep the oil drills out of the Refuge's Coastal Plain.
Protecting the Arctic Refuge is important ecologically and culturally.The narrow Coastal Plain is the foundation of a delicate ecosystem that features a spectacular diversity of wildlife, including hundreds of bird species, polar bears, musk oxen and wolves. The area also supports the Porcupine caribou herd, which calves on the Coastal Plain. The caribou are the basis of the subsistence and culture of the Gwich'in people, whose communities lie along the migration route of the herd.
Protecting the Refuge is and has been a priority for Republicans and Democrats alike. This bipartisan coalition will work together to protect the Arctic Refuge in the upcoming Congress, backed by millions of Americans who understand that drilling there is wrong.We are battle-tested and ready to fight.

It is important as an owner of a tree to be aware of the basic needs of that tree. Providing proper environmental conditions for your tree increases the likelihood that the tree will survive and thrive to grow to maturity and old age.
Selecting the right tree to plant on a site is your first consideration. Some of the things to consider are hardiness, moisture requirements, and insect and disease resistance. Make sure the tree is labeled for the hardiness zone for the planting site. If the planting site is either naturally dry or wet, select a tree species that will thrive under the conditions at the site. Make sure the tree selected has specific resistance to insects or diseases that are a problem at the planting site.
Knowing the soil type at the planting site will enhance the tree’s ability to survive. Each soil type has a suitability for certain tree species. Some tree species may not survive and grow on certain soil types. It is, therefore, important to know the soil type on the planting site.
The way in which a tree is planted can affect the tree’s survival. You should not let tree roots get dry before, during, or after the planting process. A tree’s root crown, which is a swelling on the main stem where the stem ends and the root starts, should be planted no more than one inch below the soil surface after the soil settles around the tree. The hole for the tree should be two to three times wider than the root ball to provide for proper root growth.
The proper amount of water after the tree is planted is important for survival of the tree. The site around the tree should be thoroughly watered after planting. The soil should be checked regularly for moisture content. If there is little rainfall, the tree should have a deep watering about every two weeks. If you are not sure of the moisture content of the soil, dig down alongside the tree about four inches. If the soil is moist at this depth, watering is not needed. If the soil is very wet or waterlogged at this depth, the soil is being over-watered. Trees need oxygen in the soil pores for survival. Waterlogged soil has little oxygen in its pores. It is important to avoid using water that is high in salts when watering your tree.
It is not recommended to fertilize a tree during the first planting season. Trees do not normally need nutrients added to the soil to remain healthy. Too high of a fertility content in the soil can increase the tree’s susceptibility to certain kinds of insects and diseases.
You may have heard the saying, “You scratch my back and I’ll scratch your back.” If you take proper care of a tree, that tree will provide many benefits to you. |
true | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb | English | null | null | Last December I read with intensity the stories about the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School. This week, I am doing the same thing regarding the Oklahoma tornado. Both of these terrifying events involved stories about schools and students who had experiences that will impact them for their entire lives. And stories of students who died. As a teacher, I have keen interest in what the teachers in these horrific situations did. I identify with each and every one of them. I know how they must have felt on some level. The teachers in both situations are lauded as heroes. These are people who refer to the students as "my kids", who shelter their students with their own bodies, who take great risks to protect the kids in their care. They literally put their lives on the line to protect the children from a gunman hellbent on murder or a tornado unleashing unimaginable destruction. When the situation becomes stable, the teachers stay in protective mode, making sure their kids are accounted for, carrying them to safety, hugging them, reassuring them, comforting their parents. (Here are two stories hailing teachers as "heroes" -- Oklahoma tornado and Sandy Hook.) These brave teachers push down their own terror and ignore their own feelings of self-preservation in order to protect their students. They wouldn't handle these situations any other way. They are these kids' teachers, and they feel that this is just part of the job.
But while society and the press and politicians talk out of one side of their mouths about these selfless heroes, they talk out of the other sides of their mouths about how greedy, lazy, and selfish teachers are. Do you know how many times I have heard, "You only work 6 hours a day for 180 days a year. You're way overpaid. Those who can, do; those who can't, teach. My tax dollars pay your salary"? It makes me laugh through my tears to think that these people will rave about the hero teachers but vote for laws or lawmakers who want to do everything in their power to demoralize those heroes -- call their unions evil, strip them of collective bargaining rights, and slash their fat pensions because they're so overpaid anyway. (See an example of this thinking here.)
So here is my challenge: decide. You can't have it both ways, World. You can't say, "Teachers are lazy, greedy, selfish, under-worked, overpaid -- except you hero teachers." It smacks of the conversation between Julia Roberts and Richard Gere when she tells him how she's a robot with a man -- oh, except for him. What are we -- heroes or villains? |

Are you concerned about your child’s speech or language development?
Perhaps your child’s teacher has raised concerns or you may have noticed your child’s inability to say certain sounds correctly. If so, it is important to have their hearing assessed by a qualified audiologist.
As children, we acquire speech and language through hearing and imitation. Normal hearing allows children to have access to the full range of speech sounds. However, if a child has a hearing loss, they will not hear these speech sounds correctly and this can affect how their vocabulary and receptive-expressive language develops.
Audiological assessment will help to determine if a delay in a child’s speech production is due to a hearing loss or for another reason. A speech pathologist is an important part of a multi-disciplinary team when dealing with a child with a hearing loss or speech delay.
At Shout Hearing Healthcare, we provide hearing assessments for children aged 3 years and above. For children 7 years and above, we can also test for signs of CAPD. If necessary, we refer your child to a qualified speech pathologist for further evaluation. In this case, we work together with the speech pathologist, providing them with comprehensive reporting and continuation of care for your child. |

Moving entryway equipment is another sort of outbuilding entryway that is developing in fame. These entryways have an intriguing instrument that helps in its opening and shutting. Not simply that, they spare a ton of room. You can introduce the entryway as a top moving entryway or a base moving one. On the off chance that you have three to four crawls at the highest point of your entryway space, introduce this outbuilding entryway at the highest point of the entryway opening.

Here animal dwellingplace entryway equipment can be utilized in a 2-entryway sliding framework where the entryways can slide away from any confining influence position subtly, or slide into the shut position to parcel that room. Another utilization of the equipment has a littler end application. It very well may be utilized for a one of a kind and provincial window covering, or for a diversion focus covering. The entryways in this kind of utilization are littler with differing widths and statures, contingent upon the extent of the window or TV that is being secured.

For a lot of new moms, that’s not their experience, and that’s 100% normal.
But what’s the line between feeling like “Wow, this is a really tough time. I’m struggling with this adjustment,” and “Hmm. I think I might have perinatal depression (PPD) or anxiety (PPA)”? In this chat, we’re going to be talking with Catherine Birndorf, M.D, a reproductive psychiatrist and co-founder of The Motherhood Center in New York City, about this grey area between “well” and “sick”, when to seek help, what the standard is for a diagnosis of PPD or PPA, and what the research shows about prevention and treatment.

true | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb | English | null | null | These pet bowls are amazing value! They come with a removable stainless steel bowl for easy cleaning and they have a rubber base which stops them sliding around when your pet eats from them. And they are cheap! (Thank You Kmart!!)
Dog Bowl Medium – $6
Dog Bowl Large – $8
Dog Bowl Extra Large – $10
We’ve come up with a way to personalise them so your pet feels extra special! This is a simple project and if your pet’s name isn’t too long, you will be able to complete it with one bag of stones! Of course this can vary greatly, depending on the size of the bowl, the font you use, and the size of the stones being used.
We made two bowls for some special dogs in our life – Duke and Lana! They’re English Staffies so we went for the extra large size bowls.
First we had to make a stencil of their names. To do this we opened a Word document and changed the page orientation to landscape. Next we chose which font to use – and then set the sizing of the font. It’s a bit of trial and error matching the printed out font size to the size of the bowl, but nothing too difficult!
Carefully cut around your letters – in our case, because we used a script type font, all the letters are joined. If you chose a plain font, cut around each individual letter.
You don’t have to cut them out perfectly, although, the neater the stencil, the easier it is to trace around in the next step!
To make our life simpler, we used a few dabs of our E6000 glue on the stencil to hold it in place while we traced around it with our wax picking tool pencil – The E6000 will dry rubber-like so after you’ve finished tracing, quickly remove the stencil and just let those dabs of glue dry for a few minutes. When it’s dry, simply rub your finger on the glue and it will ball up and you can remove it really easily! Once the project is finished and dry, you can go over it with a damp cloth and remove any other glue spots or glue strings that may be present!
That’s the hardest part done! The next step is fun and simple! Just start laying your stones, one by one on the traced line …. And you’re done!
Try to let the glue set for the full 24 hours – and then, of course, you can wipe away any finger prints and glue marks that may be visible. Even though these bowls have a removable stainless inner bowl for washing, don’t be afraid to wash the sparkly part of the bowl! The beauty of our E6000 glue is that it dries waterproof! You can handwash, pop it under water, give it a good rinse off and gently towel dry and it’s all ready for your Pooches dinner!
These bowls are stunning and the possibilities are endless! We didn’t forget the other special dog in our life – Harry – he loves a bit of sparkle!
To give you some idea of the stones we have and use, we made these bowls with different sized stones ….
On Lana’s bowl, we used approximately 390 of our KS .8 stones which are $5 in our store.
On Duke’s bowl, we used approximately 432 of our KS 1.0 stones which are also $5 in our store.
Harry’s bowl has approximately 236 of our KS 1.2 stones which are $6 in our store and we have enough left over, that we can do his water bowl for him as well!!
So in short – Harry’s bowl cost a total of $12 finished (plus some glue), Duke’s bowl cost $15 completed (plus some glue) and Lana’s had a total cost of $15 as well (plus some glue). How great is that?!!
We think these bowls would make a great, affordable gift for any pet lover in your life!
We also think they’d make a great birthday present for the pet in your life!
We’ve had so much fun making these bowls. We’d love to see your own spin on them, so make sure you tag us in your photos and use the hashtags #kmartstyling and #kmartKraze , so other @kmartstyling_official followers can see them too!
As always, have a blinging great day! |

........ | 1. According to Savory (in Soemarno, 1983), difficulties in translation can be originated from the type and language translated. This means that the challenges in translation arise from both the nature of the text being translated and the specific language being used.
For example, a technical manual or scientific paper may have complex and specialized terminology that can be difficult to accurately convey in another language. Similarly, certain languages may have unique grammatical structures or cultural nuances that may not directly translate into another language. These differences in language structures and cultural contexts can pose challenges for the translator in accurately conveying the intended meaning of the original text in the target language.
2. The categories of translation manuscripts include literary translation, technical translation, legal translation, and audiovisual translation.
- Literary translation involves translating works of literature, such as novels, poems, or plays, from one language to another.
- Technical translation focuses on translating specialized texts related to fields like science, technology, or engineering.
- Legal translation involves translating legal documents, contracts, or court proceedings.
- Audiovisual translation involves translating subtitles or dubbing for films, TV shows, or other multimedia content.
3. The types of shifts in meaning in translation include:
- Shifts in word meaning: This occurs when the meaning of a word in the source language does not have an exact equivalent in the target language. For example, the word "schadenfreude" in German does not have a direct translation in English.
- Shifts in grammatical structure: This refers to changes in the grammatical structure of a sentence during translation. For example, a sentence in the passive voice in the source language may need to be translated into the active voice in the target language.
- Shifts in cultural context: This involves adjusting the translation to align with the cultural context of the target language. Certain cultural references or idiomatic expressions may need to be adapted or replaced in order to make sense to the target audience.
4. The four main requirements to become a good translator are:
- Language proficiency: A translator should have a strong command of both the source and target languages. This includes knowledge of grammar, vocabulary, idioms, and cultural nuances.
- Subject knowledge: Depending on the type of translation, a translator should possess in-depth knowledge of the subject matter. This is particularly important for technical or specialized translations.
- Research skills: A translator should be able to conduct thorough research to ensure accuracy and understanding of the original text.
- Cultural competence: Translators should be familiar with the cultural contexts of both the source and target languages in order to properly convey the intended meaning and nuances of the text.
5. Linguistics: To become a professional translator, one must have a strong understanding of linguistic principles such as syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. This includes knowledge of the structure and rules of the source and target languages.
Sociolinguistics: Knowledge of sociolinguistics is crucial for a professional translator as it involves understanding the social and cultural variations in language use. This includes factors such as dialects, registers, and sociolects, which may affect the translation process.
Psycholinguistics: Understanding psycholinguistics helps a translator to comprehend how language is processed and produced by individuals. This knowledge aids in understanding and conveying the intended meaning of the original text accurately.
6. According to Etienne Dolet, the five principles of translation are:
- Faithfulness: A translator should strive for fidelity to the original text, ensuring the message is accurately conveyed in the target language.
- Clarity: The translation should be clear and easily understandable to the target audience.
- Elegance: The translation should possess a sense of elegance and style, taking into consideration the literary aspects of the original text.
- Simplicity: The translation should be simple and accessible, avoiding unnecessary complexity or ambiguity.
- Naturalness: The translation should read naturally and fluently, as if it were originally written in the target language.
7. Communicative translation refers to an approach where the focus is on conveying the communicative intent and function of the original text rather than sticking strictly to the form of the source language. In communicative translation, the primary goal is to ensure the meaning and purpose of the original message is effectively conveyed to the target audience, even if it means deviating from a word-for-word translation.
8. According to Simatupang (2000:74-82), the types of shifting or pergeseran in translation include:
- Shift in word order: Changing the order of words in a sentence to adhere to the grammatical structure of the target language.
- Shift in grammatical structure: Adjusting the grammatical structure of a sentence to conform to the rules of the target language.
- Shift in tense: Altering the tense of a verb in the translation to fit the grammatical system of the target language.
- Shift in pronoun reference: Modifying the pronoun reference in the translation to match the target language's linguistic conventions.
- Shift in cultural context: Adjusting cultural references, idiomatic expressions, or metaphors in the translation to align with the target language's cultural context.
9. The kinds of meaning according to Suryawinata are as follows:
- Lexical meaning: This refers to the dictionary definition or the literal meaning of words.
- Grammatical meaning: This involves the meaning derived from the grammatical structure of a sentence, such as tense, aspect, or mood.
- Textual meaning: This refers to the meaning conveyed by the organization and structure of the text as a whole.
- Contextual meaning: This involves understanding the meaning of a word or phrase based on the surrounding context in which it is used.
- Sociocultural meaning: This refers to the meaning that arises from the social and cultural contexts in which language is used. It includes factors such as cultural beliefs, values, and norms that influence the interpretation of a text......... | <|system|>

According to Peter Newmark, translating is transferring the meaning of a series or one linguistic unit from one language to another.
However, a text can have more than one meaning. Therefore, according to Suryawinata (1989: 21-22) there are five kinds of meaning, namely:
Lexical meaning:
Grammatical meaning:
Textual meaning:

12. Please explain the Basic Elements in a Translation
• The text
• The source Languange
• The target Languange
• The translator
<|end|>
<|assistant|>
The basic elements in a translation are as follows:
1. The text: The text refers to the written or spoken material that needs to be translated from one language to another. This can include various forms of written content, such as books, articles, websites, or even audio or video recordings.
2. The source language: The source language is the language in which the original text is written or spoken. It is the language from which the translation is derived.
3. The target language: The target language is the language into which the original text is being translated. It is the language to which the translation is intended to be understood by the target audience.
4. The translator: The translator is the individual or professional responsible for performing the translation. They possess the necessary language skills and knowledge to accurately convey the meaning and intent of the source text into the target language. Translators must have a deep understanding of both the source and target languages, as well as the subject matter or context of the translation.
These four elements work together to facilitate the process of translation, ensuring that the meaning and intended message of the source text is accurately conveyed in the target language. The translator plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between different languages and cultures, enabling effective communication across linguistic boundaries.<|end|>

First, there were random blog posts about Christmas, and Christmas memories of mine. A bit of navel-gazing to be sure, but my reminiscing seemed to strike a chord with readers. Then I added some photos; the first year they were only emailed to my address book.
In 2009 I added this to my blog, and by 2011, it had become TRADITION! People often wonder how traditions are made. Doing something more than twice seems to do it! (But if the tradition isn’t working for you, change it up! Don’t worry, for the time being, this tradition is safe!)
Here are (almost) all the photos, over the years.
And these are some of my most treasured gifts. So, Throwback Thursday this week is taking a time machine back to an old blog post. |

Correct coding equals profit
Doozer Software helps hospitals maximize their billings
- Kelli M. Dugan
Sandy Syx is candid about his financial projections for 2006 at Doozer Software Inc.
Growth means investment, and investment translates to smaller profits until all the proper people - and operations - are in place.
"We're still working on getting the fundamentals right so we can build out our operations, but it's all going well," says Syx, who launched the software development firm in 1997 after watching Atlanta-area companies gobble up some of the Magic City's most promising talent.
"My commitment has always been to Birmingham. I've been here my whole life, and I just didn't want to see the situation where Birmingham no longer had the ability to provide world-class software solutions for local companies," Syx says.
In the late 1990s, Doozer created an Internet-based network that became the foundation for specialized software development applications and, eventually, the company's medical coding practice.
Although Doozer made a living for its principals as a "lifestyle" business in its infancy, Syx says it was not until the company created the medical coding arm, The Coding Center, in 2002 that the financial tide began to shift toward profitability.
"We always expected with our ability to develop killer software (applications) we would inevitably find that one solution that could be commercialized in its own right," he says.
Addressing a shortage
Doozer originally worked off the theory lauded by trade journals around 2001 that there was a shortage of medical coders in the work force.
"Industry articles suggested that trend, and a number of open positions at the time supported the theory," he says.

true | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb | English | null | null | CALGARY – A judge says the way the City of Calgary handled a street preacher was an abuse of power.
Provincial court Judge Allan Fradsham threw out bylaw and traffic charges Monday against Art Pawlowski of Street Church Ministries.
The judge said what began as noise complaint blossomed into something much bigger against Pawlowski.
The judge ruled six of the charges against Pawlowski were in violation of either his freedom of religion, or freedom of expression.
Pawlowski was acquitted on two charges of using amplification without a permit, three of placing material on a street without a permit, and a highway charge of causing unnecessary noise from a vehicle.
A seventh charge of stunting on a roadway while handing out food by the Mustard Seed, a homeless shelter, was also thrown out.
“The accused was engaged in distributing food to certain members of the public, while using a sound amplification system to broadcast his religious message to the assembling group,” the judge said.
“His use of a cross as a visual medium was part of that activity, emphasizing its religious connotations. None of these behaviours, taken individually, or collectively, could be said to constitute a `stunt.”’
Fradsham said the charges “flowed from the city’s considerable efforts to curtail the (disputed) behaviours.”
“Perhaps not `the clearest of cases’ of abuse of power, the city’s attempts, through bylaw officers and police officers, to limit the scope of the efforts by the accused to minister to his congregants, fall precariously close to being excessive and, to any reasonable observer, an abuse of power.” |

(Moonjune Records 2001, MJR003)
From Aural Innovations #17 (September 2001)
DFA (Duty Free Area) is a guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, and vocals quartet from Italy that plays complexly arranged progressive rock with heavy jazz fusion influences. They have two studio releases to date and Work In Progress Live documents their performance at the Nearfest 2000 festival in Pennsylvania. The musicianship is impressive as each member carves his own distinct identity while at all times retaining the ensemble element in their music. Numerous analogies come to mind... ELP, early Camel, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and other diverse influences. More current analogies might include Deux Ex Machina (but without the vocal gymnastics). The music is mostly instrumental and the band excels at stop-on-a-dime rhythmic shifts.
"La Via" is a great track that is a bit different than the others. Much darker, more theatrical. The music builds tension slowly and there's a sense that a story is being told. But when the band kicks in the music is also more heavy driving rock oriented. As the music develops I hear bits of ELP, Genesis, lots a ambient bits, and the proggy jazz fusion that seems to be a trademark part of the bands sound. This may sound strangely diverse but I'm just rattling off things I hear and this 16 minute epic really does evolve in a coherent manner throughout. "Pantera" is standout track in which the keyboards are front and center stage. The ELP influences are apparent though this is the most overtly jazzy tune on the CD. Some killer piano playing too! And "Ragno" is my favorite tune on the disc. The music is mucho intense and has some of the best playing of the set. Killer guitar work and some great 70s keyboard sounds. It has kind of a jazzy fusion ELP sound. Things get a bit freaky at times too indicating these guys can say the hell with control and get wild and crazy when they want to. An excellent progressive rock and fusion band.

Prints and scans. Standalone copier and email sender. WiFi and Ethernet. Low claimed cost per page.
- Cons Subpar output quality for text and graphics. Slow print speed.
The Kodak HERO 7.1 All-in-One Printer leans more towards home than office needs, but it can easily serve in the dual role of home and light-duty home office printer. It prints, scans, copies, sends email, and lets you print through the cloud.
The Kodak HERO 7.1 All-in-One Printer is a prime example of a multi-function printer (MFP) that earns points not because of its printing, but because of its features. As a printer, it's actually a little disappointing, with slow speed and slightly subpar text and graphics quality. But the speed and quality are both good enough for most purposes, and the features make it appropriate for a home MFP or the dual role of home and light-duty home office MFP.
//Compare Similar ProductsCompare
In some ways, the HERO 7.1 is the mirror image of the Editors' Choice Brother MFC-J825DW ($150 street, 4 stars), which can also serve for home and home office, but leans more towards office needs, with a fax capability and an automatic document feeder (ADF), two important office-centric features that you won't find in the HERO 7.1
Among the features the HERO 7.1 offers are both Ethernet and WiFi support for easy sharing, the ability to print and scan even over a network, print in duplex (on both sides of the page), work as a standalone copier and direct email sender, and scan to a memory card or USB memory key. The paper tray holds only 100 sheets, which is what limits the printer to light-duty printing even in the context of a home office, but there's also a second tray for photo paper, so you don't have to swap out paper to switch between documents and photos. The photo tray can hold 40 sheets of 4-by-6 or 5-by-7 inch photo paper.
Photocentric features include the ability to print directly from PictBridge cameras, memory cards, and USB memory keys. As you might expect, you can preview photos on cards and memory keys on the 3.5-inch color LCD before printing. What you might not expect is that the LCD is also a touch screen that doubles as a self-explanatory, easy to use control panel.
Still More Features
Less common features the HERO 7.1 offers include a utility that can capture a video frame and print it and another utility that will create an anaglyphic 3D color image (the kind that needs glasses with one red lens and one blue lens to see the 3D effect). To print a 3D image, you need two photos of the same scene, and you need to move the camera about three inches horizontally between snapping the two pictures. The utility overlays the images and prints them. To let you see the 3D effect, Kodak provides two pairs of glasses with the printer.
Still another unusual, but welcome, touch is built-in support for Google Cloud Print and Kodak Email Print, which is essentially an extension to Google Cloud Print. Assign the printer an email address through Kodak Email Print, and you can print to it from any computer, smartphone, or other device that can send email. Simply create a message, attach the document you want printed, and send it. You don't even need to turn on your computer, thanks to the printer having its own email address, although the printer has to be connected to your network, with your network connected to the Internet.
Speed and Quality
Speed and output quality are good enough to be usable, but not impressive. For my tests, I connected the printer to a wired network and installed the drivers and software on a Windows Vista system. On our business applications suite (using QualityLogic's hardware and software for timing) the HERO 7.1 came in at a lackadaisical 2.7 pages per minute (ppm), significantly slower than the Brother MFC-J825DW at 4.0 ppm, and a bit slower than either the HP Photosmart Plus e-All-in-One ($149, 4 stars) at 3.2 ppm or the Kodak ESP Office 2170 All-in-One Printer ($149.99 direct, 4 stars) at 3.0 ppm.
Photo speed was also slow, averaging 1 minute 37 seconds for a 4 by 6. It's worth mention, however, that the driver includes a warning that the Advanced Dot Placement mode that I chose for best quality will slow down the printer. Even in that mode, the HERO 7.1 was faster than the MFC-J825DW, at 1:59, but it was much slower than Kodak's own ESP Office 2170, at 42 seconds.
Output quality was a touch below par for both text and graphics. However, you shouldn't have any complaints about the text unless you have an unusual need for small fonts. Graphics were good enough for any internal business use, but showed banding in default mode, making them a poor choice for handing out to, say, a potential client or customer when you want to convey a sense of professionalism.
Photos were absolutely par for an inkjet MFP overall, with most color photos looking better than what you would expect from typical drugstore prints, but black and white output showing an obvious tint. This won't matter if you're concerned only with color photos, but will be a serious issue if you need to print in black and white.
One last important strength for the HERO 7.1 is a low claimed cost per page, at 2.8 cents for a black and white page and 8.2 cents for a color page. The savings isn't as important as it would be for a faster printer with higher paper capacity, which you'd probably be using to print more pages, but any savings is welcome.
With or without the savings, if you need to print high-quality text and graphics at fast speed, or you need an ADF or fax capability, the HERO 7.1 is clearly the wrong choice. But if you'll be satisfied with speed and output quality for text and graphics that's good enough most purposes, care more about the reasonably high photo quality, and need some or all of the long list of features from printing through the cloud to scanning to and printing from a USB key, the Kodak HERO 7.1 is a potentially attractive choice. It's certainly a reasonable one. |

Carey Island?! If you are not a native of Selangor, you would probably be surprise like me when I first heard of the place. Fortunately (or not for some), the nationalistic fervour of the 1960' and 1970' did not erase the name of Valentine Carey from the map of Malaysia unlike some of his more famous countrymen like Sir Frank Swettenham (Port Swettenham to Port Klang) and Sir Charles Jessel (Jesselton to Kota Kinabalu). This island is unique in that you would not know it is one due to its close proximity to the mainland; separated only by Sungai Langat. I would not know its existence if not for Carey Island Golf Club, which to any avid golfer, its jewel.
The clubhouse and buildings nearby are of British colonial era. The first nine surrounds these buildings and from afar, the grounds look well kept and well landscape with tall matured trees, creating a stunning English countryside feel to the place. I was half expecting a British planter in khaki pants, pith helmet and a walking stick to pass by as I drove towards the clubhouse.
|View of Clubhouse from 1st Green.|
|View from varandah of Clubhouse looking out.|
Facilities available at the clubhouse are swimming pools, games room, terrace (with limited menu) and changing / shower / toilet areas with tennis courts just adjacent. The clubhouse is the size of a large bungalow built in 1920's with a touch of modern amenities. Unfortunately the swimming pools, games room and tennis courts are reserve for the use of Sime Darby's management and staffs only.
Carey Island Golf Club (CIGC) has two courses of nine holes. They both are par 36 with the front nine called Plantations Heritage at 2760 meters from blue tees and the back nine or Tropical Links longer at 3175 meters. While the club has been in existence over eighty years, Tropical Links course was only opened for play sometime in the first decade of the 21st century.
Carey Island was formerly a swamp land 2 meters below sea level; dykes were built to keep sea water out. Because of its topography, fairways are generally quite flat with greens mounted slightly higher. Sand hazards are sufficiently place especially those protecting greens; unfortunately some bunkers have grass growing in them. Water hazards meanwhile consist of little ponds and monsoon drains with exception of one between hole 14 and 15 which is quite scenic. Overall water hazards have little affect on play but locating some of them on flat ground can be tricky. Grass on fairways is cow with greens having Serangoon and/or Paspalum. Buggy is only available for the back nine.
Plantation Heritage Course and the buildings it surrounds have aged gracefully with matured trees and beautiful landscaping. It would seem that its designers wanted to minimise the space used as the nine holes seem to be cramp near to each other. This cramp situation is especially noticeable for the first four holes where in order to increase distance dykes have been used as tee box, roads become hazards and fairways almost criss crosses each other. Further on this point, the shortest par 4 that I have ever played until now is in this course, which is Hole 4 at 239 meters.
|Tee Box 2 on top of a dyke. Also in the picture fringe of the 1st green and road further ahead.|
The contrast between the two nines are almost like night and day. Tropical Links Course is spacious with hardly any trees for shade. Also, this course is long with two par 4s over 400 meters in length which I have never encountered until now (Hole 11 - 410 meters and Hole 15 - 421). Nearest trees are those at the fringe of the plantation or nearby forest which hardly affect play. What it lacks in shot changing trees, this course has tall grasses and ferns at the side of fairways. For safety reasons do avoid searching your ball in them unless your club is a magic wand and your name is Harry. While the front nine has an English feel, the back nine due to its large open space has a whiff of a certain golf club in Scotland ....... . Overall the front nine looks better and more well kept than the back nine.
|View from tee boox to fairway - Hole 17, large open space with tall rough.|
|Bridge over a drain - fairway of Hole 18. Look familiar?|
The Most Scenic - Hole 1
August 5 this year, Natalie Gulbis tee off at this hole as part of the tour to promote Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia 2011. She later planted a tree to commemorate the event witness by many of the conglomerate's 'big wigs'. Being the 'first impression' for the club and more importantly a promotional tool for Sime Darby, this hole gets extra attention from the ground staffs. Located at the front of the clubhouse, this par 3, SI 18, 153 meters hole has a well landscape garden with water features in the middle of the fairway.
|View from tee box towards green - Hole 1. Note the garden with water features ahead.|
|Tree planted by Natalie Gulbis .... well the plaque at least.|
Triple Dog Leg - Hole 5
This is a par 5, SI 2, 480 meters hole. The fairway dog leg to the right, then to the left and finally to the right again before reaching the green. Reaching the green in three strokes is unlikely for most average players. This hole is the first and only triple dog leg I have encountered thus far.
|View from tee box - Hole 5. Note the dog leg right.|
|View from fairway towards green - Hole 5. After a dog leg left,|
the fairway dog leg right again.
Short but Challenging - Hole 9
|Hole 9 - View from fairway towards fairway.|
The first thought that came into my mind was how am I supposed tee off for this 287 meters, par 4 SI 6 hole. From tee box, the fairway look extremely narrow. The course is dissected into three sections with a monsoon drain about 160 - 175 meter from tee box and a road another 40 - 50 meters ahead. Confident to carry 180 meters straight? If not lay up with a seven iron.
The Longest Par 4 - Hole 15
At 421 meters with SI of 3, this is the longest par 4 I have ever played thus far. Besides being long, other memorable features of this hole are that it starts to severely dog leg left at about 250 meters from tee and bunkers are littered aplenty on left of fairway (I stop counting after ten).
|Get down and register. |
Note: This is one of a few police post on the island.
Below is the address of the club, however I think it would be of little help. If want to contact the club which is private, do drop a comment and contact. Will try to get back to you with their permission, the club's number listed in Golf Malaysia Magazine is no longer in use.

However do note that there times to avoid the club. A flip side of dykes is that they also keep water in, drainage is poor and grounds can be soggy after a heavy rain. Apparently minor flooding do occur from time to time.
If you have time after a game, do visit the Mah Meri village. The Mah Meris are the aborigines of the island and they are famous for their wood carvings. Finish your day by having dinner in one of the few restaurants as you drive out of the island after the bridge.
Some final words, bring your own bath towel as the club does not provide them to golfers. Also note that the scorecard provided has mistakes in them especially about the back nine. |
true | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb | English | null | null | When we launched Sky AdSmart, our tailored advertising service, one year ago in January 2014, we believed we had the opportunity to change the TV advertising market as we knew it.
By enabling advertisers to better target their campaigns, Sky AdSmart opens TV advertising to brands who may previously have thought TV too broad a medium.
It works by using publicly available information to identify groups or demographics, and then serves TV ads that are best suited to those households.
For their part, viewers see no more ads than before, simply ones that are more relevant to them. The idea of tailoring advertising in this way is hugely attractive to advertisers – and you can see it in the numbers.
One year in, we have delivered 1,000 campaigns from 357 advertisers. At our Q1 [July to September 2014] results in October, we announced that Sky AdSmart revenues were up 48 per cent on the previous quarter – significant growth that indicates just how fast it’s caught on.
As we think about the future, the really exciting statistic is one that shows that of those advertisers to have used Sky Adsmart to date, more than three quarters had not previously advertised on TV or were new to Sky. This demonstrates the way that Sky AdSmart is opening up the market.
In the usual Sky style we haven’t stood still since launch. We developed Sky AdSmart further by launching postcode targeting – making TV advertising a viable option for local businesses, and serving our viewers ads for convenient as well as relevant brands.
And we have lots more planned for the coming months as we continue to develop and add to the service and its capability.
First, we’re taking Sky AdSmart into on demand. The service began with ad insertion into linear broadcast. But, as we know, viewing habits are changing fast and we’ve seen an explosion in on demand as more of our customers take advantage of the opportunity to watch their favourite content as and when they want.
So it makes sense that we’ll continue to develop the Sky AdSmart capability across all screens and platforms. The first of these will be video-on-demand on the set top box, coming later this spring.
Second, we’ll continue to expand Sky AdSmart across more channels. Sky AdSmart launched on Sky’s main wholly-owned channels. It has since grown to cover 34 channels, and we’ll continue to explore widening this to encompass additional media partner channels and third parties.
And finally, we’ll add further capabilities to the way we target ads, meaning both viewers and advertisers will continue to benefit from an even more tailored service.
With all we’ve achieved in our first year, I believe the future is looking very bright for Sky AdSmart. Watch this space in 2015. |

The day’s latest shooting injured a man in Austin on the West Side.
The man, 33, got into an argument about 10:10 p.m. with a male inside a home in the 4800 block of West Quincy Street, Chicago police said.
The male shot the man in the back and torso, police said. An acquaintance drove the man to Loretto Hospital, from which he was transported to Stroger Hospital in serious condition.
Less than an hour earlier, a woman was shot in a home in Austin.
The woman, 49, was inside of a home about 9:30 p.m. in the 5500 block of West Adams Street when four people approached the back door and pulled out firearms, police said.
The gunmen fired shots through the door, striking the woman in the arm, police said. She was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in serious condition.
A 58-year-old man was critically wounded Monday evening in a shooting in West Garfield Park.
He was in an alley about 7:15 p.m. in the 4400 block of West Jackson Boulevard when he heard gunfire and felt pain, police said.
The man was hit in the shoulder, neck and left side, police said. He got into a vehicle and pulled over about a block away, where officers found him.
He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition, police said.
Two people were shot while sitting in separate vehicles on the Near West Side.
The 59-year-old was hit in the thigh, while the 24-year-old was struck in the foot and leg, police said. Both were taken to Stroger Hospital, where their conditions were stabilized.
The first reported shooting of the day left a man critically wounded in Gresham on the South Side.
The 27-year-old was arguing with someone who shot him in the lower backside and groin at 2:44 a.m. in the doorway of a home in the 7900 block of South Emerald Avenue, police said.
An acquaintance drove the man to Trinity Hospital and he was transferred to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in critical condition, police said.
Eighteen people were shot — three of them fatally — across Chicago in the first weekend of the new year. |
true | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb | English | null | null | Ex EastEnders star Kara Tointon tells Soaplife why she’s loving being back on ITV as Harry’s eldest child Rosalie in Mr Selfridge (continues Fridays)...
The new series has moved on nine years on from the last one, right?
“Yes. We’re now in 1928 and I’m loving the costumes more. We’re at the climax of the crazy 1920s flapper era. Having said that, Rosalie’s become fairly conservative in her choice of clothes. She dresses quite plainly. Rosalie’s now the mother of a nine-year-old daughter and in charge of her father’s household. She’s stronger mentally, too – which she needs to be as a newspaper reporter has sold a salacious story about her absent husband’s philandering ways!”
Rosalie’s dad is no saint, either, with his womanising and gambling…
“She’s very worried. Harry’s [Jeremy Piven] business empire is starting to crumble and she’s not at all happy about the amount of time her father is spending with the outrageous Dolly sisters, but she recognises Harry’s weaknesses. She feels protective towards him.”
How do you feel about this being the last series of Mr Selfridge?
“Really sad. I wish we were making more. Mr Selfridge has become staple weekly viewing in January and February. The writers have been really clever in not ending it on a low point – as it would be if they documented Harry Selfridge’s life right to the end. He died a relative pauper in 1947.”
What are you up to next?
“I don’t know yet. I’d like to do some theatre. I’d love another period drama, too. They open up a whole new world and, as soon as you’re in costume, you’re in character. I don’t know if people talked more slowly in the past, but I certainly feel I can take more time over things in a period role.”
You’ve appeared on TV in lots of shows – most recently, The Sound of Music Live!. What are you recognised for most?
“The documentary I did about my own dyslexia a few years ago. And Strictly Come Dancing – although people usually say, ‘I loved you in Dancing on Ice!’”
What about Dawn Swann from soap EastEnders?
“Not so much Dawn these days, but I don’t think that’s surprising – it is six years since I left.“
