Aspire app helps Fife kids with online STEM and creative learning at home
Almost 700 youngsters in Fife have engaged in a range of digital learning opportunities “beyond the classroom” thanks to a college collaboration.
A “comprehensive learning programme” designed by Fife College in partnership with Children’s University Scotland is helping kids in the region to explore technology and engineering at home.
Given the restrictions caused by the pandemic, work in the first 12 months of the two-year project has focused on providing learning-at-home opportunities, with the college creating a suite of activities.
Also made available through Children’s University Scotland’s ‘Aspire’ app, the activities included an online engineering club that offers children the opportunity to engage with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects through practical activities at home. It also covered many creative subjects, such as dressing up (‘cosplay’) and backstage production.
The development of the digital learning offer complements the Children’s University Scotland’s own range of almost 600 no-cost learning activities, and plenty of Kids Den and OnFife LibrarYAY activities are promoted through OnFife’s Facebook page.
Iain Hawker, assistant principal at Fife College, said: “We are so proud of our first year of partnership work with Children’s University Scotland. The year presented many challenges due to the pandemic. However, by working together we were able to provide young people from across Fife, particularly those from more disadvantaged backgrounds, with access to fun and exciting learning activities which could be done safely from home.
“We look forward to continuing to work together on similar initiatives with Children’s University Scotland in the year ahead, providing even more young people with the opportunity to learn beyond the classroom and explore different subjects they are passionate about.”
Neil Mathers, chief executive at Children’s University Scotland, said: “This last year has been challenging for so many children and families, and the value of out-of-school learning opportunities has never been so clear. The pandemic has caused the world to get smaller for children, forcing them to spend more time in front of screens, less time with their friends and created stress and worry in their lives.
“Together with Fife College, and with support from The Robertson Trust, we have been able to give children and families opportunities to enjoy fun learning at home. Children have been able to take part in our awards scheme, gaining recognition for their efforts and helping to build their confidence and support their wellbeing.”
Jim McCormick, chief executive at The Robertson Trust, added: “As a long-term partner of Fife College, we know first-hand the fantastic work they deliver with children and young people across Fife. The Robertson Trust’s vision is of a fair and compassionate Scotland where everyone is valued and able to flourish. Widening access to Further and Higher Education is key to this and we are excited to see how the partnership with Children’s University Scotland and First Chances Fife will continue to open up opportunities for young people in the area over the coming year.”

NZ Electricity Emissions
Average CO2e emitted in NZ 2020
from electricity generation
0 Kgs CO2e
since 01 Sep 2017
0 Kgs CO2e
since you've been on this page
Total Electricity Emissions – Emissions Intensity
All types of electricity generation, including renewables, have some environmental impact such as greenhouse gas emissions associated with the construction, operation, distribution and transmission of renewable electricity.
Below is a graph of the emissions intensity of each type of thermal electricity generation in New Zealand plus electricity sourced from Ecotricity Wind, Hydro and Solar and their embedded emissions from construction.
Electricity Primary Fuel Emissions
However, what’s not so flash is that over 4 billion kilograms of CO2 is still emitted from electricity in New Zealand each year.
The graph at the top of the page shows the total emissions from the primary fuel source of thermal generation from Coal, Gas and Geothermal.
That’s why we’re proud to be supplying 100% Renewable and carbonzero certified electricity sourced from wind, hydro and solar!
Energy Emissions – Since 1990
Between 1990 and 2017 New Zealand’s emissions from electricity have risen 17%.
The good news is that both electricity and transport emissions can be brought down rapidly, by moving to 100% Renewables and Electric Vehicles …… and will cost a lot less for Kiwi’s and Kiwi businesses
Electricity Emissions – Preceding 12 Months
The following graph shows the amount of CO2e emitted per kWh of electricity.
This is calculated on national average electricity CO2e intensity per kWh for the preceding 12 months. This changes from year to year, and depends greatly on the amount of rainfall in hydro dam catchments.
More information can be found at the Ministry for the Environment Interactive website here (Computer browsers only).
NZ Emissions Change – 1990 To 2012
We are a small country but our carbon equivalent footprint per capita is still significant. Our greenhouse gas emissions have grown substantially. If we look at our greenhouse gas emissions on a per capita basis, a person in New Zealand accounts for nearly twice the amount of emissions than a person in the UK and more than seven times the amount of a person in India.
The following graph shows New Zealands greenhouse gas emissions change from 1990 to 2012 compared to other countries that are part of the Kyoto Protocol. This includes all gases, all industries and all land use changes.
New Zealand emissions have increased 111% since 1990. Other countries that have exceeded New Zealands emissions growth include China (260%) and Turkey (163%). Data is sourced from the United Nations – International Panel for Climate Change site.

If you’re still using gas you’re BURNING UP THE PLANET …….. and YOUR WALLET. Find out more here.
It’s time to GetOffTheGas and move to New Zealand’s only provider of carbonzero Certified Electricity. | <urn:uuid:7021ca33-dc21-4687-945e-496b7639f7e8> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://ecotricity.co.nz/news/carbon-knowledge/ | 2021-10-16T06:47:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323583423.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016043926-20211016073926-00591.warc.gz | en | 0.891877 | 612 | [

While growing up, your parents must have probably taught you how to be your sister’s or brother’s keeper. They taught you how to share with each other; how to defend one another and how to care, respect and love yourselves. But how can you learn to love a total stranger as much as you love yourself or at the very least, your sibling? A person you most probably have no kind of obligation towards, whatsoever. How do you learn to look past their flaws and shortcomings while genuinely rooting for them beyond everything that might be wrong with them?
It is without doubt that some women are a lot to handle; (aren’t we all?) but should that warrant the way you disrespect them – whether in front of them or behind their backs? How can you learn to protect their interest without even knowing them or having to?
Often times, you find women talking with the most stereotypical and condescending tone about other women. Every successful woman has to either be a ‘runs’ girl or a daughter of a rich man or have a man somewhere footing the bills, (without of course leaving room for the self made and hardworking ones out there). Every single middle aged woman must have led a ‘wayward’ life hence her singleness (as if being unmarried is never a choice). How can we learn to give every woman a benefit of the doubt, without any kind of preconceived prejudice or bias?
How do we learn to support and cheer every woman around us, whether she’s a top financier or ‘just’ a ‘club girl’. How can you learn to correct the woman next to you, without breaking her confidence or self esteem? How do you learn to see the next woman just the same way you see yourself?
I’m always perplexed when I see women viciously antagonizing other women—to the amusement and pleasure of men of course. They’ll call the next girl names, run her down until they’ve literally pulled off every shred of dignity to her name, which leaves me wondering if there is ever a grievance that can warrant such venom.
We’ve all heard stories of that female boss who lives to make life practically impossible for her female subordinates. While she’s super nice and lenient with her male staff, she’ll literally spear no wrath when dealing with her female staff on the other hand. Consequently, you find women praying against the rise and progress of their fellow women or in some cases completely avoid establishments with female bosses simply because of that one bad apple—consequently creating a continuous circle of hate, contempt and disrespect among women.
Clearly there’s a need for a bigger conversation on this, on the importance of a new sisterhood that’s anchored on sisterly love and respect, that will ultimately make every woman recognize that there’s a problem and a need to fix it in oneness and love.
You must learn to truly and genuinely love and respect one another, just like our parents taught us.

Serie A Campionato 2012-13
This stream has:
Two years of Antonio Conte, two straight Serie A titles. It sure has been a return to prominence for Conte's men. The crew at Black & White & Read All Over takes a look back at the season that was with position-by-position player ratings.
Just like last year, the midfield was the engine that got things done, especially when the forwards forgot how to put the ball in the back of the net. Let's look at how they did.
As the saying goes, great teams are built from the back, and as cliche as it may seem, it is true. The Antonio Conte era Juventus has been built from the back, with the team molded to accommodate an excellent defensive trio and Andrea Pirlo.
Sebastian Giovinco divides opinions as much as any player currently wearing a Juventus jersey. He was a player that came with lofty expectations as he first broke into the squad. Now, at 26 years old, Giovinco is seemingly at a career crossroads.
Juventus "played" a game today. There were players on the field, there were players wearing the Juventus kit, yet they really didn't look like Juventus at all. A 3-2 loss to Sampdoria is how Juve finished their season — even if it ended weeks ago.
One weekend Juventus celebrates winning the Scudetto, the next they get to lift the trophy in front of their hometown faithful. Juventus Stadium will be filled to the rafters as Juve get to lift the Scudetto for the second consecutive year.
One weekend Juventus celebrates winning the Scudetto, the next they get to lift it above their heads and kiss it as many times as they want. It's trophy day in Turin, with Juventus looking to win their 10th straight before lifting Lo Scudetto.
Just because Juventus wrapped up their second straight Scudetto on Sunday didn't mean they'd just thrown in the towel the rest of the season. Alessandro Matri's goal was the difference as Juve won their ninth straight game, 1-0 over Atalanta.
This stream has:
Sunday's win over Palermo finally brought Juventus what they had wrapped up weeks ago: Their second straight Scudetto. Turin was abuzz and the atmosphere in Juventus Stadium certainly reflected that as the Old Lady officially clinched the title.
Juventus Stadium will be in a festive mood come Sunday afternoon. Why's that? Only the chance that Juve can secure a second consecutive Scudetto. That's a pretty good reason to celebrate. And rumor has it Nicklas Bendtner is bringing the beer.
That Antonio Conte is slightly, just a tiny bit mad is no secret. But is that all? Andrea Pirlo's newly-published autobiography sheds some light on the brilliant mind of the Juventus coach and his leadership behind the scenes. | <urn:uuid:b5460489-4fc8-41be-82ce-1902b7ac59ec> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.blackwhitereadallover.com/serie-a-campionato-12-13/archives | 2021-10-20T17:17:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585322.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020152307-20211020182307-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.973545 | 612 | [

COVID-19 Impacts U.S. Office Leasing Fundamentals in Q2; Absorption Turns Negative, Vacancy
Economy: The global COVID-19 pandemic struck the U.S. in March 2020, too late to have a significant impact on the first
quarter’s office leasing metrics. The U.S. economy felt its full effects in the second quarter of 2020 as government-
mandated shutdowns, along with shelter-in-place ordinances, pushed the country into a severe recession. The U.S. lost a
record 20.8 million jobs in April 2020, by far the largest job loss in history. Office-using employment, a key driver of
demand for office space, declined by 2.7 million that same month. Since then, as the lockdowns ended and the U.S.
economy began to reopen, millions of furloughed workers have been called back to work and the employment data has
improved. In May and June, the U.S. economy regained about one-third of the total number of jobs lost in April.
However, it is generally assumed that as the virus lingers it will continue to result in sluggish growth. Thus, as the
pandemic continues to impact consumer and business demand, it is also assumed that many of the job losses that
occurred earlier in the year will ultimately become permanent.
Demand: Given the severe blow to the labor markets, it is not surprising that the office leasing environment was
also impacted this quarter. Net absorption dropped from +5.2 million square feet (msf) in the first quarter to -22.8
msf in the second quarter. This was the largest quarterly decline in net demand for office space since the second
quarter of 2009 during the Great Recession. While every region of the country recorded negative absorption, the
West region experienced the lowest net demand, where markets such as San Francisco (-2.8 msf), Phoenix (-1.9
msf) and Los Angeles (-1.3 msf) saw the largest declines. Other notable drops in absorption outside of the West
region occurred in Manhattan (-1.9 msf) and Dallas (-1.8 msf). A total of 65 office markets logged negative | <urn:uuid:eb03e559-cc87-4f16-9c14-34ff1482e12e> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.edocr.com/v/q2mn3w4j/globaldocuments/us-office-marketbeat-q2-2020 | 2021-10-20T16:49:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585322.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020152307-20211020182307-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.949694 | 580 | [

'Lived experience' in grant-making practice
IVAR are the Learning Coordinators for Comic Relief’s UK Intermediary Funders initiative that supports grassroots, community-based grant-making in each of the four home nations. Key aspects of this initiative are to encourage the centrality of lived experience and community-led approaches both in the grant-making process and the grants themselves.
This paper looks at what ‘lived experience’ within grant-making practice means for four intermediary funders working with Comic Relief. In light of the Covid-19 crisis, it feels more important than ever to open lines of communication between funders and communities.
The Community Foundation for Northern Ireland, Corra Foundation in Scotland, Wales Council for Voluntary Action and Groundwork in England are all rooted in their communities and are well placed to understand the specific challenges and opportunities facing local grassroots organisations. They also recognise the often overlooked expertise and knowledge that sits within communities and local organisations and have all been exploring different ways of integrating ‘lived experience’ into their grant making processes over the past few months.

Maui Officials Urge Public to Stay Alert as Madeline Advances
The Maui County Civil Defense Agency today announced that the impacts of Hurricane Madeline are anticipated late tonight (Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2016) through tomorrow morning (Thursday, Sept. 1, 2016), and Hurricane Lester continues to threaten the islands on a track that could bring the storm near the islands. The public is advised to actively monitor both storm systems and to stay alert and prepared.
Due to the anticipated effects of Madeline, Hāna School is scheduled to be closed Thursday, while County parks remain open. Officials are not anticipating opening any shelters, but shelter teams are on standby should the need to open shelters arise. Expeditions’ Lānaʻi Ferry has canceled the 6:45 a.m. boat from Lahaina and the 8 a.m. boat from Lānaʻi for Thursday, Sept. 1, 2016; crews will assess weather conditions at 8 a.m. to determine whether the Thursday, Sept. 1, 2016, 9:15 a.m. boat from Lahaina will depart.
At 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, 8/31/16, a tree had reportedly fallen on the county road, just before the entrance to Haleakalā National Park’s Summit District. Be advised that people are not able to enter or leave the park at this time. The County has been notified. No estimate as to when the tree will be removed.
“It’s imperative that we do not inundate the Maui Police Dispatch call center, even the non-emergency line, which is still answered by dispatchers,” said Anna Foust, Maui County Emergency Management Officer. The public is urged to call Civil Defense with any questions or concerns, at (808) 270-7285.
“We will have staff and call-takers available to answer calls from the public, and there will be a damage reporting form available online to help keep the 9-1-1 lines clear for actual emergencies.”
Storm-related damage may be reported to help ensure that the County has a complete picture of the scope of damage. The data collected will allow County officials to determine if our jurisdiction qualifies for any State or Federal assistance, as well as to assist with flood plain mapping.

SophiaTX Sentiment Score
The sentiment score indicates how well the wider community regards the project. We analyse social media platforms such a Reddit, Twitter etc to access if the community is talking positively or negatively about a project. Or if they are even talking about the project at all!The overall sentiment is very poor indicating that this project is either not well-regarded in the community or simply no one is talking about SophiaTX. In general as the popularity of a project grows and as main stream awareness grows this score will go up - though only if the news is good news!
- The overall sentiment is very poor
SophiaTX Community Score
The community score indicates how active community is. Are they writing lots of articles and engaging in lots of conversations on the web? Where is the crypto communities attention spent? There are so many hours in the day to spend writing, reading, researching a project. So how much of this time is spent on SophiaTX?
The larger a community is then the more eyes are on that project. Sharing information, red flags and concerns is more likely the bigger the community is. And larger communities are alot hard to censor and control - therefore they provide a diverse range of opinions.
Overall SophiaTX has an poor community rating, small communities can be easily manipulated and bullied (banned from telegram, deleted from discord etc) into towing the project line. If a project is new and doesnt have a big active community then in general as the project grows the community score will increase.
- high gitHub account watchers
- no reddit articles
- very low hashtag tweets
- no search result count
SophiaTX Awareness Score
The awareness score indicates how well SophiaTX is known in the main stream. Its all very well for a project to have a discord channel to have 1000 users chatting all day about how great the SophiaTX is but a good measure of longevity is how well the project is known by the general public.
Overall SophiaTX this project is not known by the general community. If a project is new and has not had a lot of marketing or exposure then in general as the project grows the awareness score will increase.
- no search result total
- no news articles mentioning SophiaTX
- no news articles directly about SophiaTX
SophiaTX Credibility Score
The credibility score indicates how credibility a project is. Does it have a ridiculous name? Is it run by a 13yr old in their basement? Is it just 2 days old and too early to tell?
- Good project age (released Dec 26, 2017)
SophiaTX Volume Score
The volume score is the simplest of all our metrics and quite often the bottom line metric. It doesnt matter how well a project scores on the other factors, if it is only shifting a few thousand dollars a day in volume then there is a high chance you will left holding a bag
- no USD 24hr volume
Red flags come in all shapes and sizes
At the end of the day a cryptocurrency project requires you to part with your hard earned cash in order for it to become succesful.
You expect a level of transparency and professionalism from a project that is asking for your money.
There are all sorts of red flags which you should be weary of;
- 404 (missing) websites
- Expired SSL certs
- Malware/Hijacked sites
- Suspended Twitter accounts
- Private Subreddits
- SEC investiations
If you spot anything suspicious/resolved then please let us know.
SophiaTX Red flags

Horizontal wellbore drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies have become standard development practices in unconventional gas reservoirs. In order to tap into the full potential of gas shale reservoirs and to produce them economically, it is essential to optimize not only the locations of hydraulic fracture (HF) stages along the given wellbore, but also the wellbore trajectory inside the reservoir. To deal with these two challenges simultaneously and in a seamless fashion, a framework of numerical optimization algorithms can be established. Application of such discrete optimization approach to the above-stated problem allows to enhance production from shale gas reservoirs and to increase the net present value (NPV) of unconventional assets.
The novel hierarchical optimization structure operates in the following way: it places a horizontal wellbore (or wellbores) on the upper level and then distributes HF stages along the fixed well trajectory (or trajectories) on the lower level. Both levels of the framework use gradient-based stochastic strategy, namely, the simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA). Application of this optimization technique permits to depart from the common practice of distributing HF stages evenly. We demonstrate utility of this idea with highly heterogeneous geologic systems that require HF spacing with non-even intensity. To assess efficiency of our approach, we compare the results obtained from SPSA optimization with those from Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES) that is a stochastic, derivative-free numerical method. The developed framework is tested on stimulation data from synthetic models. Our findings show that the systematic approach to optimization of horizontal wellbore and HF stages placement can improve the NPV of unconventional projects. | <urn:uuid:2c12c33b-1aa3-4113-97bb-fd2075356dc0> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://onepetro.org/SPEURCC/proceedings-abstract/13CURC/All-13CURC/SPE-167246-MS/176787 | 2021-10-25T01:17:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587608.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20211024235512-20211025025512-00351.warc.gz | en | 0.888915 | 337 | [

What to Include in Your Business Expense Policy
Key Points about expense policies:
- Expense policies help you control business costs by setting guidelines for employee spend.
- Most policies have sections for travel, accommodation, meals, and other expenses.
- If you want to create your first expense policy (or revamp an existing one), check out our free Business Expense Policy template.
An expense policy is a guide for employees who make purchases using company funds. Expense policies outline allowable purchases, the reimbursement process, and other details to help your business manage spend.
The exact details of your expense policy will differ depending on your business and any state-specific requirements, but most include similar information. We explain these inclusions and general best practices to help you create a policy that works for your business.
Why do I need a business expense policy?
If your employees use company funds to make purchases, an expense policy is crucial to managing costs and avoiding unwanted expenses. When employees have clear guidance, they’re less likely to spend company funds on unnecessary or unreasonable items and services.
A policy also streamlines the submission, approval, and reimbursement processes, making expense management easier for everyone.
What’s included in an expense policy?
Begin your expense policy with an introduction that explains the purpose of your policy, who it applies to, and the date it was last updated.
Employee Expectations & Compliance
This section outlines employee expectations and responsibilities. It may also include general rules about your expense policy. Your policy should be able to answer all of these questions:
- What are your general expectations for employees making purchases with company funds (ex. using proper judgement about expenses)?
- If an employee doesn’t comply with your policy, what are the consequences?
- If an employee commits fraud or engages in other illicit behavior, will you take disciplinary action?
Guidelines & Procedures
Next, outline your guidelines and procedures regarding:
- Submitting and tracking expenses
- Any other processes relevant to your business expenses
Each process should explain the employee’s responsibilities, the documentation required, and the person who approves the request. Your processes should also include deadlines to ensure you receive everything in a timely manner. You should try to get approvals and reimbursements back to employees within a similar time frame.
In this section, list out the expenses your company will reimburse, along with any spend limits. You may also note which expenses require pre-approval. This usually applies to larger purchases.
Most policies break up this section, grouping similar types of expenses together.
Travel is one of the most common expense categories.
Before you begin, you may want to explain what “travel” means in relation to your policy. For example, you may limit “travel” to overnight trips. Or you may include a short drive to visit clients as “travel.” What you do will depend on your business.
You may also want to keep in mind the various discounts available to your company. For instance, some companies have flat rate agreements with specific car rental agencies and require their employees to book through a certain carrier. Others designate one person to make all travel-related purchases so they can take advantage of credit card and other reward programs.
Once you have this information down, state the travel expenses that your policy will cover. Most policies address:
- Train fare
- Taxi, Uber, Lyft, etc. fare
- Car rentals
You may also include indirect travel-related expenses in this section. These expenses can include:
- Visa or passport fees
- Foreign currency exchange fees
- Foreign transaction fees for credit or debit cards
- Cell phone or SIM card fees
- Travel insurance
This section includes guidelines for overnight lodging. For example, you may ask your employees to book accommodation through a specific travel website or agency.
You may also set a reasonable price range for lodging so employees know they can’t book a 5-star hotel. Remember to consider the rate differences between hotels inside and outside city limits.
Most businesses give travelling employees a per-day or per-meal budget for food.
You might, for example, give employees $50 per day for meals. They will need to budget accordingly, and if they exceed $50 per day, they will need to cover the excess themselves.
Some expenses may not be covered by the categories above. In that case, you can make a miscellaneous section. Examples of miscellaneous expenses may include:
- Office supplies
- Medical expenses
- Training or exam fees
This section details the expenses that your business will not reimburse. What you list here will depend on your business, but some to consider include:
- Pet care
- Souvenirs or personal gifts
- Alcoholic drinks or mini-bar purchases
- Visits to tourist attractions
- Fees (parking tickets, traffic violations, airline memberships, etc.)
- Personal entertainment (movies, books, etc.)
Expense Policy Best Practices
The best expense policies follow three main guidelines:
When it comes to expense policies, simple is best. Your policy is a set of guidelines. It doesn’t need to cover every single scenario. Your employees also need to understand it, so keeping everything straightforward will help.
Your expense policy is not set in stone – nor should it be. Keeping it flexible allows you to account for any changes or unforeseen circumstances. This also makes it easier to update it to stay compliant with company changes and any new legislation.
Lastly, your policy should be fair. Apply the same guidelines to everyone at your company so no one gets special treatment.
Your allowable expenses and limits should also be realistic. If they aren’t close to the average costs employees incur, you may put unnecessary strain on your employees. They shouldn’t have to spend hours looking for the cheapest travel option or stay in an unsafe location just to remain within budget.
Once you’ve created your expense policy, be sure to share it with your employees.
Automate Business Expense Tracking
After you’ve created your expense policy, your next challenge will be tracking all of your expenses. This is where expense management software can step in and relieve some of your burden.
Expense management software automates processes based on the rules in your policy. This saves you time and gets approvals and reimbursements to your employees faster.

How to write a decent job ad ?
Your company needs to recruit a new Accounting Assistant quickly, the previous one has decided not to come back from his 3-week holiday in Nepal. As every recruitment begins with a job ad, you’ll need to write this. You saw it coming? Spot on, you the Office Manager are asked to write this job ad. You should know that writing a good job ad is more difficult, compared to before. Today, the candidates don’t just simply look for a job title and salary which comes with it. They want to work in a company where culture and tasks are in keeping with their personal and professional goals.
Usually, when we think about a job offer, one mainly thinks about the structure: position title, tasks, responsibilities, required skills etc.…The problem is that it leads to boring job ads and one doesn’t feel like applying to these. So how to write a decent job ad and quickly find a super candidate, who is in keeping with the requirements of your company?
Why is it super-important?
After all, one could also say, why not write a run of the mill job ad, to avoid racking one’s brain? In any case, one is going to find someone. Yes but no. An average job ad will attract average candidates. But a job ad which is carefully written will attract qualified candidates and those in keeping with the values of your company.
What must be shown in your job ad?
Several points are important for candidates while reading a job offer, and you need to make sure that each one of them is shown in your job offer:
Advantage (a company car, a trendy phone etc.…)
Culture of the company, its visions, its values and goals
Company’s industry and size
Write an attractive job ad
Take it easy on the skills required
When one writes a job ad, one has the habit of listing out several skills which are required, even if one tends to go overboard, just to find the perfect candidate. This isn’t necessarily the right strategy. So yes of course there are always essential skills required for this position. But try not making this list too long, be gentle about things. Instead of talking about an umpteenth sought-after skill, mention the soft skills which shall make this ad stand out. Don’t hesitate using the sentence “this skill is appreciated” rather than “required”, so that you don’t close the doors on candidates who are potentially interesting.
Keep things short and concise
Surely the best advise which is easy to apply while writing a good job ad. When one is a candidate and one sees a huge chunk of text, which seems more like a novel and not a job ad, one feels like: running away. Too many details, too many requirements…a sure shot way of having to micro-manage in the future. Remove all the elements which aren’t important for your job ad and remain short and concise, not to mention attractive.
Opt for a conversational tone
A job ad which is written in a dull and boring manner, is logically humdrum. Make sure you use a conversational tone, which reflects your company’s culture. Write as if you were speaking to a candidate. In your company, is it normal to be less formal with everyone and be cool? Highlight this in your job offer. On the contrary, are you the serious kind? Talk about this too, but this shouldn’t prevent you from opting for a conversational tone.
Point out how the job offer responds to the company’s mission
Candidates don’t want to handle their tasks automatically, they want to contribute gradually, respond to the company’s mission, be in tune with its vision and values. Talk about the projects that the candidate will have to manage, but also the company’s challenges. Make a link between the future collaborator’s role and its challenges, so that one feels immediately devoted, while reading the job offer.
Make sure you understand the position
If you’re an Office Manager, there isn’t much of a chance that you’re asked to write a job ad for a developer. However, you’ll certainly need to write ads for positions, which you’re not necessarily familiar with. To properly understand the requirements of the job, get information from the person who is leaving the position or other members of the department. Discuss these various challenges with them. Be capable of precisely describing this position, what a typical day looks like, so that you find the perfect candidate and not simply the most qualified or experienced candidate.

Word Count: 278
Prompt: john/rodney, where john tries to hide an injury or fever
Summary:“You’re not a superhero. Stop thinking you’re invincible.”
This fic was written for rhydrim.
“You’re an idiot!”
John opened his eyes slowly to see a glowering Rodney staring down at him. John moved a hand up towards his face and it was arrested and put firmly back at his side. “Hey Rodney,’ John managed, his other hand tracking towards his face and that was stopped to, so now Rodney was leaning over him with his arms pinned.
“An idiot!” Rodney repeated.
“No, I get to talk now. You gave up talking privileges. We slogged for two days through marshland and you had a great big gash on your leg and you didn’t say a word about it!”
“I didn’t want to complain,” John tried for levity but Rodney’s glare deepened and John started to think that maybe he should call for a nurse because it looked for all the world like he was about to be smothered by a pillow.
“Carson said you must have had the fever for at least a day and still, you say nothing.”
“I said I-“
“You were cold John. When we got you back through the ‘gate you were cold and we thought… I thought…”
John turned his wrist in Rodney’s grip, awkwardly stroking the skin he could reach with a thumb.
“You’re not a superhero. Stop thinking you’re invincible.”
John smiled weakly. “That wouldn’t be the super power I’d ask for. You know what I would ask for.”
Rodney looked confused for a second, but then his face cleared and he thunked his head on the mattress by John’s side.
“Oh my god, you’re an idiot.”
Rodney would never admit just how glad he was that John was an alive idiot.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have acquired Chicago Bulls small forward Luol Deng for Andrew Bynum’s contract, a first rounder, and two second rounders. The Cleveland Cavaliers are clearly trying to go after the playoffs with this move, as Deng is a massive upgrade to the roster. The Bulls are clearly focusing their attention on the future, as the loss of Deng hurts their already depleted roster with Derrick Rose out for the year. The draft picks allow them to acquire talent in the coming years, while Bynum’s expiring contract allows them to drop below the luxury-tax threshold, which will save them in the ballpark of $15 million.
Let’s take a look at the “assets” that the Cavaliers are losing, before we take a closer look at Luol Deng.

Singer Keri Hilson put on a stellar performance at the Live at Pure Nightclub event in Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on March 23. She looked relaxed but sophisticated as she arrived on the red carpet a little after midnight.

Black pants with white blouse
Keri Hilson 2013 at Live Pure Nightclub Event
Keri donned a breezy sleeveless white top with a pair of black cropped leather pants. She accessorized with monochrome wedge heels by Narciso Rodriguez, an edgy gold stud necklace and delicate diamond stud earrings.
The simple ensemble is perfect in every way. Understated elegance is a good color on the dusky beauty.
Hair and makeup:
Two-toned bob; glowing makeup
Keri Hilson 2013
Her short hair was styled in a wispy bob, appearing two-toned since her dark roots were showing. Keri’s makeup was natural, but with an inner-glow quality about it that looked like her face was infused with gold. Her eyes formed the focus, widened by a generous application of mascara.

Shortly after her arrival at 1 am, the singer took to the stage and blew the crowd away with her hit single Energy. She also enthralled with her other number Knock You Down and Pretty Girl Rock. During a brief break from her singing in the middle of the show, she revealed to the audience that she was working on releasing her third studio album and even shared a few anecdotes of the process.
Post the performance, Keri met with fans, posed for photos and signed autographs into the wee hours of the morning. But it wasn’t all work and no play. She had her share of fun too, downing cocktails from time to time and taking to the dance floor much to the delight of gob-smacked admirers.

Child care assistance is available in many areas to help low-income families pay for daycare so they can work, go to school, or both. This assistance normally must be applied for through local child care assistance offices. The applicant typically must meet certain income guidelines and be working or attending school for a minimum number of hours each week. Child care assistance is most commonly given for children under age 13, or sometimes up to age 18 if the child has special needs. Child care assistance may cover the entire bill, or some cases the family will be required to make a co-payment. This is usually based on the family's income and the number of children needing care.
The application for child care assistance can usually be completed online if the applicant has computer access, or a printed copy can often be obtained from a child care office. Sometimes the child care provider must meet certain requirements, such as be at least 18 years old. Other requirements might include being licensed or registered. Some families may choose to hire in-home care as opposed to using a day care center; in some cases requirements may allow this provider to be a relative not living with the family or a close family friend. Most offices use some sort of fee scale which determines, normally based upon the applicant's income and number of children, how much they can afford to contribute toward their children's care.
When an applicant is eligible for financial assistance for child care, they usually receive two certificates in the mail, one for their records and one to give to their day care provider. The certificate typically states how much child care assistance they may receive each month and how long they will receive it. Their provider typically bills the appropriate office for the child care, based upon the information on the certificate. If a family is not eligible for assistance, the applicant will normally receive a notice advising them of this and explaining why. When their approved period for daycare assistance has expired, the applicant usually has to reapply to continue to receive financial assistance.
Those who receive child care assistance are usually required to report any changes in their household to the office who is helping them pay for care. Some changes that normally require reporting include address, income, school schedule, and a new job or loss of a job. Other changes might include household size, change of daycare provider, and changes in any child support that the family may receive. Many offices require that changes be reported on a timely basis or the family may risk losing the assistance. | <urn:uuid:630e01bf-fd60-40e8-b350-6dbc5ac83256> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.wisegeek.net/how-do-i-get-child-care-assistance.htm | 2021-10-17T22:44:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585183.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20211017210244-20211018000244-00231.warc.gz | en | 0.966286 | 497 | [

Are Your License and Reputation Worth a Few Hundred Dollars? Ethical Considerations for Real Estate Professionals in a Distressed Economy
In response to the economic conditions facing the real estate practice, highlighted by fewer transactions at lower sales prices, many real estate professionals have turned to charging broker administrative fees (sometimes referred to as “compliance,” “regulatory” or “transaction” fees). These fees, imposed upon the buyer, the seller, or both, range from $100 to as high as $1,000 and are charged in addition to the commission earned. A common practice in Metro Detroit involves the listing agent charging the fee to the buyer, even though the listing agent might not also represent the buyer as a dual agent. Under those circumstances administrative fees seldom represent compensation for a specific service rendered. Rather, they go to satisfy general overhead that would otherwise factor into the commission “split” between a broker and its agents.
The propriety of charging administrative fees to one or more parties to a real estate transaction has been the subject of ethical disputes and protracted litigation. Buyers and sellers have challenged these fees and the conditions under which they are imposed as being contrary to the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA). Under RESPA, a real estate broker may not charge a fee that is (i) unreasonably excessive in light of the services actually performed in exchange for it, or (ii) for nominal or duplicative work, or where no services are rendered at all. Specifically, section 8 of RESPA provides, among other things, “No person shall give and no person shall accept any portion, split, or percentage of any charge made or received for the rendering of a real estate settlement service … other than for services actually performed.” On this point, a ruling from a United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama (Busby v. JRHBW Realty, Inc. d/b/a Realty South) is particularly noteworthy.
Vicki Busby purchased a home in Jefferson, Alabama on a new mortgage loan. At the closing, JRHBW Realty, Inc. charged Busby an administrative fee of $149, over and above the percentage commission. This fee was separately itemized on the HUD-1 settlement statement. After paying the fee, Busby filed a class action lawsuit alleging that the fee violated RESPA because no services were rendered to her in exchange for it, or if there were, the services were nominal and duplicative of those rendered to earn the percentage commission. After an appeal, the District Court ruled against the real estate firm, finding that no specific settlement service had been performed to earn the administrative fee it charged beyond the percentage commission.
This ruling begs the question of how a real estate broker could justify charging an administrative fee in addition to the commission earned in connection with the transaction and not violate RESPA. Resolution of this issue entails, among other things, the relationship between the broker and the party or parties paying the fee, the services being rendered, and the party to whom they are rendered. In the typical case of a listing broker charging the fee to the buyer (especially a buyer represented by another broker), and the purchase is under a new mortgage, it is difficult to avoid a RESPA violation.
Aside from the RESPA issues are secondary legal and ethical issues related to charging administrative fees. In another RESPA case, the federal government joined as a plaintiff because the listing broker described the administrative fee as being a “regulatory compliance fee” and thus giving the impression that paying the fee was mandatory under the law. Additionally, a common complaint regarding listing brokers and agents in transactions involving bank-owned (or “REO”) properties is the refusal to accept or present an offer unless the buyer agrees to pay the demanded administrative fee to that broker. This practice likely violates the Michigan Administrative Code, which requires real estate licensees to present signed purchase offers to sellers immediately upon receipt. Similarly, this practice violates most standard-form listing agreements, giving sellers a potential opportunity to sue agents unable to sell listings as a consequence.
Demanding the buyer’s agreement to pay an administrative fee approaching $1,000 as a condition of presenting the offer or consummating the sale is most prevalent in communities such as the City of Detroit, where the landscape contains an abundance of REO properties paying commissions of $1,000 or less. In most instances these nominal commissions are not sufficient to pay the broker’s overhead costs associated with maintaining the listing and closing the sale.
Ultimately, whether a broker charges administrative fees is a business decision that requires due consideration to the legal, ethical and goodwill issues presented by the situation. These are matters best reviewed with legal counsel, who can best evaluate a broker’s circumstances and offer options to avoid lost business opportunities, a damaged reputation in the community and the profession, costly litigation, or even real estate license revocation. | <urn:uuid:ce5f510e-71ad-4041-836e-840ee5a76ccd> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://berrymoorman.com/2009/09/23/are-your-license-and-reputation-worth-a-few-hundred-dollars-ethical-considerations-for-real-estate-professionals-in-a-distressed-economy/ | 2021-10-19T08:19:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585246.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20211019074128-20211019104128-00311.warc.gz | en | 0.95982 | 1,011 | [

KOLD INVESTIGATES: Approximately 2,000 unaccompanied children processed at Tucson’s new CBP facility
TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - A spokesman with the U.S. Border Patrol Tucson Sector said it has processed approximately 2,000 children at its new soft-sided facility since it opened on April 30, 2021.
The 80,000 square foot facility is located near the Tucson airport at 4550 East Los Reales Road.
According to CBP, the facility is weatherproof, climate-controlled, and provides space for eating, sleeping, and personal hygiene.
The KOLD Investigative Team asked the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol for the exact number of people processed at the Tucson facility since it opened on April 30, 2021. We also requested their ages and how long they stayed at the facility before being transferred to the custody of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
A CBP spokesman said they don’t report apprehensions, encounters, and detentions by station or individual facility.
The spokesman said while the Tucson facility is used primarily for unaccompanied children who are waiting for placement, any detainee can use the facility.
We contacted Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector to see if they could give us the numbers.
Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector could not give us exact numbers but said it had processed roughly 2,000 unaccompanied minors since opening on April 30, 2021.
That breaks down to about 35 children a day for 57 days.
A spokesman for the Tucson Sector said so far, the facility has only been used to process non-citizen unaccompanied children. He said the children are transferred to the custody of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services within 72 hours.
Since the beginning of the Fiscal Year 2021 (which starts October, 1, 2020) the Tucson Sector reported its agents encountered 10,822 unaccompanied children, which is up 157.7% from the year before.
According to CBP’s records, most children are coming from Guatemala.

Single-asset restructurings come with so many potential conflicts of interest that they are not worth undertaking, according to one of BC Partners‘ top dealmakers.
The London-headquartered private equity firm had considered these deals when running separate processes on sole assets held in its 2011-vintage €6.7 billion BC European Capital IX fund but decided on partial exits to LPs instead, Jean-Baptiste Wautier, the firm’s investment committee chairman, told sister publication Private Equity International.
“On paper it looks like a good idea and we did consider it,” Wautier said, referring to both single-asset deals and cross fund sales. “But when you start implementing it, it’s not worth the headache.”
The two cases were Allflex (now Antelliq) and Mergermarket (now Acuris), which the firm partially exited to Canadian pension PSP Investments in 2016 and Singapore’s GIC in 2017, respectively. In addition to a secondaries process, BC Partners had also considered selling the assets to one of its existing funds in a cross fund deal, but found both options an “absolute nightmare,” Wautier said.
Finding a market price at which the GP is happy to be both a seller and buyer throws up complications including conflicts of interest, while running a bid process and ultimately not selling the asset can also affect a GP’s reputation in the market as a serious seller, he added.
The firm ultimately opted to de-risk the assets by selling minority stakes to existing LPs – a trend which will only continue, Wautier said.
“If you go to an LP and you give them direct exposure to something that compounds its equity value at a double digit rate, they’re super happy.”
BC Partners has tapped the secondaries market before. In 2017 it hired advisory firm Campbell Lutyens to run a stapled deal on Fund IX to help it hit the €7 billion target of its BC European Capital X fund, as Secondaries Investor reported. That deal closed with Lexington Partners acquiring around €700 million worth of LPs’ stakes at a 14 percent premium to 31 March 2017 net asset value and committing around €300 million to Fund X.
Firms including PAI Partners, Blackstone and Warburg Pincus have run single-asset processes in the last 12 months. Last month AlpInvest Partners, Goldman Sachs Asset Management and HarbourVest Partners emerged as the backers of PAI’s single-asset process on ice cream company Froneri in a deal worth around €1.8 billion, as Secondaries Investor reported.

Money line bet in football allows a bettor to wager on three different conclusions; one on each team’s win and one on a draw. Most of the money line betting does not include the penalty shots and overtime granted apart from the standard 90 minutes regulation time plus injury time.
In some cases, they may be taken into account. Hence one should be sure about the betting type he has chosen before wagering. The money line odds differ based on the competitiveness of the teams in line.
The money line for the favorites can range from -110 to -1000 where a bettor has to wage $110 or $1000 to win $100 respectively. The underdogs get highly paid as the odds are mostly +1000 where a bettor has to bet $100 to win $1000.
To bet on a draw, it is important to reflect on how evenly matched the teams are and how likely the match would end up in a draw. Consider the following example:
According to the above example, the bettor has to wage $200 to win $100 if he supports Germany. For a draw match, an initial wager of $100 has to be placed to win $100 ($200 in total). If England is the preferred team then $100 has to be wagered to win $300 ($400 in total).
The point spread bet is to wager on a team which may score more number of goals. In general, the point spread for football is fixed as -0.5 and +0.5. The odds are increased to -/+1.5 by the bookmaker if he is certain about the favorites to win the match.
The favorites are more benefited by the point spread bets as the team has to score 2 goals to bag the cash. The underdogs have to wage more, yet have high chances to win if the team draws or wins the match. The money line bets and the over/under bets can be combined in some cases. Consider a World Cup match between Brazil and England:
Brazil +2.5 (2.0)
England -2.5 (1.5)
From the above example, a bet on England will need more than 2 goals to win the bet. If the score is 3-0 for England, then England would win the match as the goal is more than the point spread 2.5. A $100 bet on England would offer you $150. A bet on Brazil will demand less than 2 goals to win.
If the score is 1-0 for England, then the Brazilians would lose the match by 2 goals (1-1 will result in a draw, 1-2 will result in a win of Brazilians), yet the bets on Brazil are won since the score is less than 2. An initial wager of $100 on Brazil would profit $200.
As the name suggests, the bookmaker predicts the combined score of the match that will be scored by the two teams and bets are placed whether the actual score will be over or under the predicted score. Generally, 2.5 point spread is fixed for a match whereas the odds vary according to the capability of the teams.
If the teams are capable of high-scores then a point spread of 3.5 is fixed. If the match is expected to be low-scoring then 2.0 is fixed. Consider a match between Liverpool and Manchester City in the English Premier League:
In this scenario, the combined score of the teams should be either 2 or lower to win the ‘under’ or above 2 goals to win the ‘over’ bet. If the scoreboard displays 1-0 then the under bet wins and if the scoreline is 2-3 then the over bet wins as the total score is 5.
The prop bets are more interesting than any other betting types. The bettor must have the basic statistical knowledge of a particular team, of a particular player to wager. The payouts are high in a proposition bet if the prediction is correct.
Bets can be placed on a match, season or even on a player’s strategy in the first half or the other. Listed below are some of the examples of proposition bets:
Will Wayne Rooney get a goal this game?
Will Liverpool slam the Premier League title this season?
Will Ronaldo net a goal within the first 10 minutes of the game?
The parlay bets also known as the multiple bets involve betting on more than one team as a single wager. The payout is high, yet the gameplay is risky in a parlay bet. You may bag the payout only if all the selected bets win otherwise you lose the bet along with your initial wage. Consider the following 2-team parlay betting in a Premier League:
Manchester United (2.30)
If a bettor chooses that the United will win the match and there will be a draw in the Chelsea/Arsenal match then to win the bet both the predictions must be correct. If the prediction turns out to be right then a profit of $230 each will be won by the bettor making a total of $360 for an initial wage of $100.
The Future bets are bets placed on the result of a whole competition, league or a season. The payout of future bets are high, yet the bettor has to wait till the end of the season to get his payout. If the bettor has good bankroll management then this might be an appropriate betting option for him.
For example, the odds for the teams of an English Premier League is fixed as follow:
Manchester City 3.50
Manchester United 3.50
The bettor has to wage on any one of the teams and the corresponding odd is calculated and awarded if the prediction is correct. These odds are fixed at the beginning of the season, but the bets can be placed after watching a few matches as the betting market displayed above stays open throughout the course of the season.
Apart from these types of betting, there are some additional bets available for the bettor’s advantage. They are:
• Correct score
• Double chances
• Draw no action
• 1X2 bet
• First and Last goal scorer
• Both Teams To Score
The correct score bet is an accurate prediction of the goals that might be scored by the two teams. It is very hard to predict the exact score than to simply predict the winner of the game and so the bookmaker provides a higher payout to attract the bettor. The following example displays the correct score market of New Castle and Watford:
From the above odds and options available, the bettor has to choose the most appropriate possibility and bet on it.
The double chances bet is the safest available bet in football. A bettor gets the chance to bet on any two of the three possible outcomes namely: win, draw and lose. To win the double chances bet your selection must be correct.
Payout will be settled even if any one of the two selections is right, but if the third unselected option turns out to be the final outcome then the complete wager is lost. An example is given below which might help you understand the concept:
FC Dallas vs Toronto FC – Double chances betting
FC Dallas or draw – 1.08
Toronto FC or draw – 2.16
Toronto FC or FC Dallas – 3.30
From the above odds, we can interpret that, if a bettor wagers on the Toronto FC or FC Dallas option then he will bag his payout if any one of the two teams wins. If the game results in a draw, then the wager is lost.
Draw no action
The draw no action bet provides the bettor to choose the outright winner of the match. The bettor can pick only from the teams and not the draw option. If a draw is how the game ends the initial stake is returned. In simple words, if the game ends up as a draw, the bet is canceled which means the initial wages are returned back to the respective bettors.
Everton FC – 1.19
Los Angeles FC – 5.05
From the above example, it is clear that the odds are bit better yet less than the usual win-draw-win. If a bettor bets on Los Angeles but the match is won by Everton then the bettor loses his wager whereas if the match is a draw then the bettor gets back his initial stake.
The Handicap betting deducts or adds goals to the actual scored goal score by the two teams. The final score after reduction and addition decides the winner of the bet. In general, if the negative handicap (favorites) is high on a particular team then that team is less likely to win the match. To understand this concept better an illustration is given below:
Whitecaps vs Sounders – Handicap Betting
|Whitecaps (-1)||2.75||Sounders (+1)||2.20|
|Whitecaps (-2)||5.50||Sounders (+2)||1.75|
|Whitecaps (-3)||10.05||Sounders (+3)||1.15|
From the above table, it is clear that the Whitecaps are the favorites and the Sounders are the underdogs. As the table displays, the odds of the favorites increase with respect to less likely winning handicap score. If a bettor bets on Whitecaps (-2) then the Whitecaps must win with more than 3 goals to bag the payout.
If the bettor chooses Sounders (+2) and if the Sounders lose by a single goal the bet will still be won as 2 extra goals will be added to their final score.
The 1X2 bet is an interesting betting type which allows a bettor to choose three possible outcomes of a match. A home win is assigned 1, away win as 2 and X for the draw. Football is considered to be a low-scoring game and hence the possibility of a draw is high.
Unlike in other sports, a draw in football is not settled with overtime or penalty, a draw match is considered a draw. Consider the following example:
Arsenal is consigned 1 as they are the home team, Manchester City is the away team and hence represented by 2 and the draw is X. The odds fixed for the Arsenal is 1.40 as favorites, the Manchester City being outsiders are given 8.70 and an odd of 5.02 is fixed for a draw.
Therefore for an initial stake of $100 on Arsenal will pay $140 if they win. The possible return for Manchester City is $870 whereas for a draw an amount of $502 will be taken home by the bettor.
First and Last goal scorer
To exactly predict the first and the last goal scorer of a match is highly impossible. It is a mere guessing bet which may or may not be in your favor. Though the odds provided are relatively high this betting is not worth wagering more since there is no strategy followed and is completely based on luck.
The odds allotted for the players who are efficient in scoring goals are listed below:
Norwich vs Tottenham
Harry Kane 3.75
Christian Eriksen 6.50
Cameron Jerome 7.00
Kyle Lafferty 9.55
The bettor has to choose from the listed players and place a bet. List of the expected first goal scorers and the last goal scorers is provided separately with enticing odds.
Both Teams To Score
This type of bet is quite new in football betting which involves wagering on both the teams. It is a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ bet on which odds are fixed. Some bookmakers also provide odds on the teams and let the bettor choose an outright winner along with the Both Teams To Score (BTTS) bet. An example below elucidates the BTTS bet:
Colorado Rapids vs Philadelphia Union
Will both the teams score in the knockout round?
In this scenario the odds are somewhat close, but when two strong attacking teams clash the odds will vary drastically. For example:
Atletico Madrid 3.20
Tottenham Hotspur 10.05
The Scorecasts bet is a combination of the first goal scorer and the exact prediction of the final score at the end of the game. The payout is quite high, yet the prediction is highly impossible to get it right. There is no standard strategy followed in this type of betting. It is mere luck and guesses that will help you bag the jackpot.
Betting on Live score
Live score betting is exclusively meant for the recreational bettors. Bettors who do not have much knowledge about the sport can place an initial stake by watching the sport for some time and later predicting on the next possible move. Some of the common live score wagers are listed below:
Which team will net the next goal?
At what time will the next goal be scored?
Who will be the next to net a goal?

Chester Zoo are selling Nestlé products once again - just weeks after banning them over the issue of unsustainable palm oil.
The chocolate company was suspended from the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) scheme earlier this month because it had failed to comply with RSPO rules.
It received criticism for not submitting a report stating how it would ensure the use of certified sustainable palm oil, and as a result of the suspension, Chester Zoo announced they were removing their range of Nestlé food and beverage products from sale in the zoo with immediate effect.
A statement from the zoo at the time read: "As a world leading voice on sustainable palm oil we are working closely with the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums and urge Nestlé to take all necessary measures to re-join the RSPO scheme and support sustainable palm oil as the most effective way to protect rainforest habitats and prevent the extinction of species like orangutans."
However, in a surprising U-turn, the company's products are now back on sale, since Nestlé made a 'renewed commitment' to achieving 100% RSPO certified sustainable palm oil.
A statement from Chester Zoo said this week: "In the wake of our decision to remove all Nestlé products from sale, we have met with senior representatives from Nestlé to discuss how we can best prevent extinction.
"Since the announcement - and since the actions from ourselves and other members of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums - we have been overwhelmed by the public response and support for sustainable palm oil.
"We are pleased to say that, as Nestlé has made a renewed commitment to achieving 100 percent RSPO certified sustainable palm oil and has now been fully reinstated as a member of the RSPO, their products are available in the zoo again, effective immediately.
"Thank you for your support and understanding during the period where items were off sale."
Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil that comes from the fruit of oil palm trees and is the world’s most widely used vegetable oil, with global consumption increasing.
Unsustainable oil palm plantations are destroying rainforest homes in South East Asia and pushing wildlife such as orangutans to the brink of extinction.
However, if produced sustainably, palm oil is a highly efficient crop and has the potential to be by far the most responsible vegetable oil option. | <urn:uuid:d67b3f99-1669-405b-b462-d6adfda26709> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.crewechronicle.co.uk/news/chester-zoo-puts-nestl-products-14983457 | 2021-10-22T07:45:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585460.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20211022052742-20211022082742-00471.warc.gz | en | 0.971735 | 493 | [

West Covina, CA (July 29, 2020) – According to the California Highway Patrol, a motorcyclist ended up pinned underneath a motor vehicle after a collision that took place in West Covina. It took place on the Interstate 10 Freeway at approximately 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday night, July 28th.
Authorities with the CHP said that the operator of a motorcycle collided with a blue Honda Civic in the eastbound lanes of the freeway, a little west of Barranca Street. The motorcyclist was trapped underneath the Civic as a result of the collision and emergency crews were dispatched to the scene.
Firefighters and EMTs arrived at the crash site where they pulled the motorcyclist from the wreck and transported them to a local hospital. The condition of the victim has not been reported.
At this time, an investigation into the cause of this incident remains ongoing. No further details have been made available.
Our thoughts are with the victim and their family at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Motorcycle Accidents in West Covina
In 2016, deadly collisions involving motorcyclists throughout the state of California accounted for at least 15.1% of traffic-related fatalities. Like anywhere else in the state, motorcycle accidents in West Covina and all other areas around Los Angeles County often end with serious injuries or death. Motorcyclists are at an elevated risk because of their vulnerability, especially when a distracted, intoxicated, or otherwise inattentive party is involved. Within the Los Angeles area alone, motorcyclists are involved in approximately 3% of accidents, however, they account for around 15% of crash-related fatalities.
Abrupt motorcycle accidents routinely leave victims and their families with the immensely high costs of recovery. The expenses that follow not only the initial hospitalization of a victim but the continued medical care on top of lost income as well, can be terribly overwhelming. In many cases, injuries are severe enough to ensure that a victim has to go through many years of physical therapy and other costly treatments in order to feel as normal as possible.
In no way should the victim of another person’s actions be unfairly forced to cover the cost of their recovery. Negligent motorists show no regard for the wellbeing of others on the road, and there is no reason that such parties should escape culpability. Obtaining an aggressive and compassionate motorcycle accident attorney to go after the party or parties liable for your injuries is of the utmost significance.
Suffering an unexpected injury or loss of a loved one can be an extremely devastating and overwhelming time. Our compassionate Torrance motorcycle accident attorneys at AgnewBrusavich have devoted their lives to helping those who have been unjustly affected by the actions of reckless drivers. We are highly familiar with the immeasurable pain and difficulties that follow a serious crash, and we are prepared to go to work fighting for the justice and compensation you deserve.

You are here: Latest News » Update on the School position following the Prime Minister's announcement
Dear Parents/Carers I hope that you and your families are well. Thank you for your ongoing support during this challenging period. I know it isn't easy for anyone. I wanted to update you on the School position following the Prime Minister's announcement on Monday.
School continues to be open for a very small number of students whose parents/carers are key workers as part of the national strategy. In order to reduce risk those on site are being asked to practise social distancing and wash hands regularly. The school is being regularly cleaned and this follows a thorough deep cleaning programme throughout the school a few weeks ago.
The vast majority of students and staff are being asked to continue to work from home and follow the home learning programme that is being planned and delivered by staff. We are regularly reviewing Show My Homework and looking at student work patterns. I would ask that you continue to support and encourage your child's home learning if you are able to do this.
I fully appreciate how new and challenging this all is and request that you contact your child's Year Team if you are having difficulties of any sort. Whether it is a difficulty logging on, difficulty with the work or any other issue - we are here to help... read more here. | <urn:uuid:859299be-922e-4da9-9a65-f13572134ea5> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.stahigh.org/index.php/news/update-on-the-school-position-following-the-prime-ministers-announcement/ | 2021-10-23T17:19:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585737.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20211023162040-20211023192040-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.97568 | 270 | [

Separating the sheep from the goats
When evolutionists are asked to give examples for molecules-to-man evolution, they often point to examples of changes in animal populations. Animals can adapt to new environments, and domestic animals can be selected for desired traits. Are these changes really evidence for molecules-to-man evolution? Are these types of changes expected only by those who believe in evolution? Do these types of changes explain how animals came into existence?
The Bible’s history
According to the biblical record, God created animals ‘after their kind’. These kinds were created with the ability to reproduce so they could fill the whole earth (Genesis 1:20–31). Initially, everything was ‘very good’ (Genesis 1:31). However, mankind soon rebelled against God and the earth was cursed. At this point death, thorns, and suffering became a part of the world (Genesis 3). Many years later, mankind became so wicked that his thoughts were continually evil. At that time, God sent judgment in the form of a global Flood. Just prior to the Flood, Noah had built an enormous Ark at God’s command. Some of every kind of land animal and bird were brought into the Ark and preserved along with Noah’s family (Genesis 6:5–8:19).
Given this history, it is reasonable to expect that mankind and animals would need to have the ability to adapt to new environments. Otherwise they would have been unable to utilize new, even hostile environments that arose following the Fall and the Flood. God intended for animals to reproduce and fill the earth, because he had created the earth to be inhabited.1 So the ability of animals to adapt to new surroundings is actually a prediction of the creationist viewpoint.
Changes to ruminate on
The Bible does not provide an exhaustive view of history, but it claims to be inspired and accurate in all it does present. It is interesting to note that in Hebrew, the language in which much of the Bible was originally written, there is a word2 that refers to sheep and/or goats. This word is used in Genesis to describe the animals that Abel, a son of Adam and Eve, raised and used as a sacrifice to God (Genesis 4:2, 4). The Bible commonly refers to sheep and goats collectively. The frequent use of a single word to refer to sheep and goats strongly suggests that these animals belong to the same created kind. However, there are also words that specifically refer to sheep3 and others that specifically refer to goats.4
That sheep and goats belong to the same created kind is further supported by the fact that some matings between sheep and goats have resulted in live offspring.5 This created kind has undergone a change known as speciation, where some of its descendants differ enough from others that they are classified as separate species.6 Domestic sheep (Ovis aries) and goats (Capra hircus) have very similar anatomy and are classified in the same subfamily (Caprinae).
Variations in hair style
Like most mammals, sheep and goats have two types of hair; an outer, usually more obvious, layer of guard hairs and an underfur, which is called wool in these animals.7 These hairs vary in the length, diameter and colour.8 Variety like this in animals is important in helping them to adapt to different environments. It is also useful for breeders. For example, in cultures that valued wool for clothing, sheep were selected for fine (thin), white wool. There are several breeds, known as fine wool breeds (such as the Merino), which have very few guard hairs and abundant fine, white wool. However, when breeders selected for this trait, they lost some of the variety that had naturally existed in sheep. The breeders culled, or ‘weeded out’, animals with coarser wool or hair. If a breeder wanted to regain some of this lost information, the sheep would need to be crossed with sheep from other breeds which still retain those traits.
Sometimes variety is added to animals through mutations. For example, in sheep a white fleece is usually dominant. However, there is a mutation which causes black to be dominant. This mutation causes the biochemical machinery for the production of black pigment to be ‘switched on’ when it otherwise would not be.9 This is not a particularly desirable trait; white wool is usually preferred since it is easy to dye various colours. It is one example of how mutations change existing biochemical pathways through loss of function, although they can seemingly add something (in this case more black pigment).9 This may add variety, but it essentially damages the pathway. Often, this process results in disease;10 very rarely it may add a desirable trait.11 All these changes in animals (i.e. speciation, natural and artificial selection, and mutations) are recognized by creationists.
Who are they kidding?
At this point it may seem like creationists believe in evolution just as much as the evolutionists. Creationists do believe that animals can change over time, but there is an important difference. The ‘logic’ of evolutionists is in effect often as follows:
- Evolution is change over time.
- Animals have been observed to change over time.
- Therefore, all animals evolved from a common ancestor which arose spontaneously from inorganic chemicals.
Something should look very suspicious here. Change over time does not imply that all living things have a single common ancestor. Points one and three involve two different definitions of evolution. Evolutionists define evolution as mere change, then they ‘bait-and-switch’ to mean descent of all organisms from a common ancestor. Changing the definition of a word in the middle of an argument, is a logical fallacy known as equivocation. Evolutionists have been using this tactic for years to pull the wool over people’s eyes. While mutations may cause changes in existing biochemical pathways, they are insufficient to explain the origin of the many complex, interdependent pathways that characterize living things.12 The next time someone tries to defend belief in molecules-to-man evolution by giving an example of change, ask if there is a new organ, structure, or biochemical pathway that has formed. If evolution were true, there should be many published volumes filled with examples of changes that make animals more complex. However, none of the changes known to occur in animals adds functional information. What we do see are animals that are well designed and able to adapt to different environments.
Although harmful mutations remind us that the world has been marred by mankind’s sin, the creative genius of our Maker is still evident in what He has made.
Separating the sheep and goats
Jesus spoke of the final judgment as being like a shepherd separating sheep and goats (shepherds grazed them in mixed flocks). Separating sheep from goats in western countries is not difficult, as the sheep have been bred to accentuate their wool production so they look quite different. However, sheep and goats in Asia and Africa are often similar in appearance—consistent with them belonging to the same created kind, as Dr Lightner pointed out above.1
Non-shepherds find it difficult to distinguish such sheep and goats, but the shepherd knows the difference and easily separates them. For example, there are differences in behaviour: sheep tend to follow; goats go their own way. At the judgment, the Great Shepherd (Hebrews 13:20) will know the difference and will separate those who followed Him (Mat. 10:38) from those who went their own way.

In one sense, the answer to this question is simply “Because that’s what I do.” I have no grand agendas attached to my writing. It is an activity I am naturally drawn to. I love to encounter good writing, and I hope to produce it. For me, writing is closely connected to reading, and the role of reader-writer is a core part of who I am.
Tell us about your most recent book or writing project. What were you trying to say or achieve with it?
My most recently released book is Pine the Passing. It is the fifth in a series focused on the wuxing, or the Five Elements in Chinese thought. For me, this collection and the four that went before it (Under the Ash, Voices of the Elders, Harps Upon Willows, and The Lined Palm) are my exploration of the wuxing, a system of tension and balance that is expressed in every aspect of life and the world around us. If all goes as planned, it will eventually be a 25-book series, so I see Pine the Passing as a step along the path of exploration. | <urn:uuid:7f52044f-a7b3-46e7-9101-2cbde8f4e3d8> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://kitaab.org/2015/11/06/the-lounge-chair-interview-10-questions-with-shelly-bryant/ | 2021-10-25T05:02:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587623.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20211025030510-20211025060510-00631.warc.gz | en | 0.970725 | 247 | [

The Seinfeld Chronicles debuted 32 years ago yesterday and went on to have 180 total episodes under its shorter name from 1989-1998. It remains the greatest sitcom to ever air on television. If you'll allow me to go full Andy Rooney here, it's becoming increasingly difficult to catch a repeat on commercial television — a bit of serendipity to be savored.
Thankfully, the courageous content creators of the Internet are always on-demand, toiling away to make premium material to heat up and melt some of the day away. Like this over on the Seinfeld Current Day YouTube page. It's the memorable brunch jazzy riff that served as the series' theme mashed together with hit songs from the era.
That a person could envision such and idea and have the determination to see it through execution is yet another reminder of the omnipresent if not bizarre beauty in life's every corner.
For a bonus thought on the Cosmo Kramer character: I was going through and deciding which of Jerry's group of friends would be into which artists featured in this montage and ended up in a challenging place. There's absolutely no way to even venture a guess on Kramer's musical proclivities. Seems like he'd either love them all, from Nirvana to TLC or dislike them all equally. No middle ground either way. | <urn:uuid:bbcaa83d-66ea-44be-aaff-c21bb0d7cc34> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.thebiglead.com/posts/seinfeld-mashup-hit-songs-video-01f9y7n83zhq | 2021-10-25T04:11:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587623.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20211025030510-20211025060510-00631.warc.gz | en | 0.952693 | 268 | [

Reid begins work on Highland Heights building
Reid Health in the coming months will begin utilizing more than 40,000 square feet of space that it gained when it purchased the former Highland Heights Elementary building last year.
The property, which was sold for $90,000 in October after months of legal wranglings between Richmond Community Schools and a company that contested the sale of the building, will be used for training purposes, as well as classrooms and office space for several Reid departments.
Reid Health President Craig Kinyon on Wednesday said construction on the building's interior began in the winter, with replacement of windows as well as electrical, fire plumbing and lighting systems. Crews also have been adding and removing various walls within the structure, along with replacing ceiling tiles, paint and carpeting,
"It's a pretty busy place with preparation activity ... most of that activity has been inside the building (this winter)," Kinyon said. "We are relocating (several) groups to Highland Heights, but before we can do that, we need to have things ready to go for those programs so they can hit the ground running."
Kinyon said the first priority is to ready space in the building that will be used for staff training, as Reid prepares to transition to a new computer information system later this year. He said the expectation is to begin what he called "pre-live training" sometime in April and continue preparing most of Reid's 2,600 employees up until the system's launch, which is slated for Dec. 1, before doing more hands-on training after the launch.
"With any system, you're going to have a need to train your employees," he said. "This building will give us unique areas where we can do just that. ... We'll be able to continue using the spaces after the launch for ongoing training and for new employees, as well."
The training rooms will be located near the front, in existing classrooms that will be outfitted with improved technical aspects. He said the original design of the building was one of the most attractive parts of the property.
Kinyon said multiple groups will move into the building sometime in the spring. This includes Reid's information systems analysts division, the decision support and lean processes departments, and Reid's school of radiology.
Many of the groups moving into the former school will do so in an effort to clear their existing location at Reid's 1350 Chester Blvd. building, which most notably housed Urgent Care until it moved to another site further north along the roadway. The information support analysts team and radiology school will leave that space to make room for additional primary care space in the building's basement. The move is part of an ongoing effort by Reid to locate related services and programs into specific buildings.
Following the move, several dozen employees from a variety of different divisions will work at the Highland Heights building full-time. The influx of cars has required Reid to remap and expand the site's parking lot, Kinyon said.
"When it was a school, most of the people who were parking there were teachers ... the students would simply be dropped off each morning," he said. "Now that it's being turned into (office space), we have to reconfigure how the parking lot operates and expand it to allow for all the employees who will be working here to have a place to park."
One of the largest groups that will move into the building will be the lean processing division, which helps the hospital run efficiently. The group, which has more than 160 open projects, is expected to make up a large portion of the staff working at the site.
The move from its current location also will allow the radiology school to have a more workable space in which it can serve its students, who receive training both in the classroom and at the main campus, Kinyon said.
"They need space for conducting the classroom training for the school," he said. "So the radiology school, which includes multiple simulation rooms and classrooms, will be moving to the former Highland Heights building."
Initially, Reid had considered locating a child care program for its employees in the building, but Kinyon said the network chose to make the space available for more immediate needs, such as training space. He said there likely will be further talks about whether to locate a child care center in the facility in the coming years.
"We need to evaluate the amount of space we'll need for (ongoing systems training), once initial training has been completed" Kinyon said. "Child care is not an immediate project, but it will continue to be evaluated." | <urn:uuid:fb69c89c-1848-47a8-90be-675d4308991f> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.pal-item.com/story/money/business/2017/03/08/reid-begins-work-highland-heights-building/98816400/ | 2021-10-26T15:19:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587908.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20211026134839-20211026164839-00711.warc.gz | en | 0.981567 | 946 | [

Realme Watch 2 live pictures have leaked online as the upcoming smart wearable has been spotted receiving the FCC certification. This news comes after the Realme Watch 2 and Watch 2 Pro were discovered in the source code of the Realme Link app.
The Realme Watch 2 has received FCC certification and looks similar to the Realme Watch. The silicone watch strap now has the “Dare To Leap” tagline and features a square 1.4-inch TFT display with a 320×320 pixels resolution. A major update on the Watch 2 has to be the larger 305mAh battery up from 160mAh on the first Realme Watch.
Moreover, the Realme Watch 2 has a lot in common with the previous generation making it an incremental upgrade. The Watch 2 has an IP68 rating which allows it to withstand water and dust and is also equipped with a SpO2 sensor and a heart rate tracker.
The leak also reveals that the Realme Watch 2 will support Android 5.0 and above smartphones, and it is likely that iOS support is released later. It pairs to smartphones over Bluetooth 5.0 and the Realme Link companion app.
The Realme Watch 2 measures 12.2 millimetres in thickness and is slated to feature different exercise modes, step counter, sleep tracker, remote camera control, incoming calls or SMS alerts, music playback control and more.
The Realme Watch had a similar design with a square display, IP68 rating and SpO2 monitor and the Watch 2 is likely following suit. The first smartwatch by Realme was aimed at an affordable price range after which the company expanded its smart wearables lineup by adding the Realme Watch S and Watch S Pro. Realme has not revealed the exact date for the launch of the Realme Watch but considering the FCC listing is out, we could see the launch happen soon. | <urn:uuid:7d50d495-dcab-4ba3-8a43-b38515f71487> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://factfictionnews.com/realme-watch-2-picture-leaks-as-it-receives-fcc-certification/ | 2021-10-28T06:10:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588257.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20211028034828-20211028064828-00071.warc.gz | en | 0.937171 | 379 | [

1. According to the specific conditions of the truss, first of all, it should be decomposed into several parts as far as possible and processed and welded in the inner field by truss girder welding machine. After it is completed, it will be transported to the truss for site assembly and welding.
2. In the process of assembly and welding, we should minimize the formation of internal stress and reduce welding distortion. According to the analysis of the drawings, the process should be formulated according to this principle. If welding current is properly controlled, it must not be too large. The weld seam can be prevented according to the requirements of drawings. Internal stress and deformation are two contradictory things, if the rigidity is not large, we should focus on the control of small deformation (generally as the focus). If the rigidity is large, the stress in the assembly welding process should be mainly controlled.
3. The truss is a stress structure. For this reason, we slways use DC welding high quality electrode and reverse polarity connection.
4. Before welding, we should remove rust, remove oil, remove moisture, and bake as required. There are many fillet welds in the truss. The butt welds must be open and double sided to ensure achieve the goal of penetration and increasing height.

I was a little torn when I had to decide on what kind of graphics card to get. The latest and greatest wasn’t really an option mostly because they run more than $500 a piece. Not something I really wanted to dump a whole bunch of money into, especially since I don’t have the time to do any hardcore gaming. Sitting at the computer with virtual friends really isn’t an option when there is a toddler running around the home. However, it is possible that I sneak in the occasional MMO.
Really though, I mostly need a basic GPU these days to help run Adobe and other video editing programs. After nearly going blind reading review after review, I finally found a good balance between price and performance that will meet my computing needs and run games splendidly.
ASUS GeForce GTX760 Graphics Card
The ASUS GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX760 2GB GDDR5 256-bit, DVI-I/DVI-D/ HDMI/DP PCI-Express 3.0 SLI ready Graphic Card OC-selected 1072 MHz core was a neat addition to my build. There are a few reputable manufacturers that make graphics cards with the Nvidia chipsets, but ASUS seems to be the most reliable. A bonus to me, they built this particular version of the 760 to run quiet and cool. Nvidia also threw in two free downloadable games (Splinter Cell and Assassin’s Creed) with the purchase.
There really isn’t much for me to say about this piece of equipment. Without it, I can’t run my dual monitor setup and I can’t do some of the things I need to do with my computer. If you’re just using a computer to get on the internet, watch movies, and organize your digital photos – you don’t need a graphics card. If you’re playing graphic intensive games or need something to boost the performance of visual arts software, you need a graphics card.

What the F*** happened to GameStop, why you should worry and where is the price heading?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’d know that there’s been a massive frenzy over a stock that rallied over 1,900% in the last few weeks.
I’m talking about GameStop.
A gaming company which was $4 last year and today (as I’m writing this) is over $360 per share. That’s over 8,000% growth.
In fact, my inbox has been flooded over the last week with questions, about what happened with this phenomenon.
Funny thing is, I’m getting questions from not only investors and traders but also from Facebook friends, Virtual Reality pals and even acquaintances who’ve never even bought a share before.
And so, in this article, I’m going to explain what happened to the company, why you should worry and where it’s heading…
GameStop WAS one of the victims of COVID-19
GameStop is your everyday brick-and-mortar company. It sells video games, consoles and accessories.
It was one of the victims that was hit hard by the COVID-19 crisis.
In fact, last year, the share price was trading under $4. And since then, the fundamentals were looking bad.
Not only was it facing internal issues, it was also competing with major gaming companies that started to offer their games online.
So it was basically like Kodak was when digital cameras came out. Or Blockbusters was when people turned to online i.e. Netflix.
GameStop just didn’t have the speed to evolve, move online, they were suffering from heavy losses and were closing stores.
And massive hedge fund companies like Melvin Capital and Citron, thought it was a great opportunity to short the shares in the hopes that the price would drop and where they can profit.
And so just a month ago, the hedge funds shorted the share at around $15 in the hopes that the price will drop.
Even Citron Managing Partner Andrew called GameStop,
“an old school, failing mall-based video retailer.”
Boy, I’m sure they regret every decision to short this underdog.
Before I continue, you need to know what shorting or ‘short-selling’ means. If you do know then you can skip the shaded area…
What is “short-selling” and how do you profit?
Most investors follow the traditional ‘buy low, sell high’ share investing approach.
This is where you’ll buy a number of shares at a low price with the expectation that you’ll sell them at a higher price for profit.
‘Short-selling’ is the opposite practice.
Shorting is simply a bet that a company’s share will drop in price, and so they will sell shares they don’t own.
Well, short-selling is where you’ll borrow a number of shares from a broker and sell them into the stock market at a low price.
You’ll then bet and wait for the share price to fall even lower, where you’ll re-buy the shares back, return them to the broker, and pocket the profit.
In other words, it’s where you’ll ‘sell high, buy low’.
Here’s where the danger comes with ‘short-selling’
What if you sell high, borrow the shares from the broker, and the share price decides to rocket?
Now you’ll have to lock in a loss and buy them back at a higher price than what you sold the borrowed shares at.
There are two dangers with shorting:
There’s potential for unlimited losses
When you buy shares the lowest price it can go to is 0.
When you short-sell shares, the share price can go up 100s, 1000s of percentages and higher.
This means your loss potential is unlimited when it comes to shorting.
There are a limited number of shares! | <urn:uuid:4f134103-4c41-4662-ad63-47b5aa019fc4> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.timonandmati.com/articles/what-the-f-happened-to-gamestop/ | 2021-10-16T14:53:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323584886.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016135542-20211016165542-00431.warc.gz | en | 0.95842 | 876 | [

On December 16, the Winnipeg Museum of Fine Arts officially opens to the public at the Board of Trade Building, with Lieutenant-Governor Sir Douglas Cameron (1854–1921), Mayor Richard Deans Waugh (1868–1938), and Winnipeg Development and Industrial Bureau President William John Bulman (1870–1938) in attendance.
“The occasion is one of great interest to the members of the Bureau inasmuch as it opens up to the citizens a new line of development,” states Bulman in his opening address. “Art and manufacture are so closely allied that an institution such as this has become an absolute necessity if we are to become efficient as an industrial centre.” The Gallery’s first exhibition is composed of 270 artworks from the Royal Canadian Academy (RCA). The occasion is also marked by the attendance of three senior RCA members: Homer Watson (1855–1936), Maurice Cullen (1866–1934), and Frederick Challener (1869–1959). Artist Donald MacQuarrie (1872–after 1932) is the Gallery’s first Curator. Three Winnipeg businessmen play particularly instrumental roles in the creation of the Gallery: Bulman, the owner of Bulman Brothers lithography firm; James McDiarmid (1855–1934), contractor, architect, and amateur artist; and George Wilson (1863–1938), amateur artist and businessman. To hear more about Bulman from his grandson John, President of the Board (1971-1974), click the link below.
In his speech Mayor Waugh, unaware of the impact that future war and economic depression would have, paints an optimistic future for the Gallery: “I think there is little doubt that when the lease of the Bureau building expires…in five years, the city of Winnipeg will be only too glad to father a scheme for housing the pictures and curios which have been collected, in a permanent museum and gallery.” | <urn:uuid:f65aa26a-0120-455d-8d8c-1ee1e0e58682> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.wag100.ca/timeline/display,article/1261 | 2021-10-16T14:04:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323584886.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016135542-20211016165542-00431.warc.gz | en | 0.947603 | 406 | [

This post was originally published in Venture Beat by Samantha Smith, Director of Sales at Ware2Go.
As the dust settles from the frenzied ecommerce growth spurred on by COVID-19, many businesses and consumers are beginning to take a long, hard look at the new digital-first economy to understand the environmental impacts of online shopping and particularly at the impacts of home delivery.
The impact of small parcel, Direct to Consumer (D2C) shipments can’t be overstated. According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), the ecommerce boom will likely increase the total final- mile delivery vehicles on the road by 36% and increase greenhouse gas emissions by 30% overall by 2030.
At Ware2Go, we wanted to know how aware consumers were of the impacts of their increased ecommerce shopping, and we found from our 2021 consumer survey that overwhelmingly they were not only aware. They were concerned. 88% of respondents indicated that sustainability was either somewhat or very important to their online purchase decisions, and 66% indicated that sustainability had become more important to them as a result of the pandemic. Fulfillment and delivery were clearly top of mind for these respondents as well. When asked to indicate the most important sustainable business practices to them, 47% indicated recycled packaging, and 41% sustainable shipping practices.
We found, however, that although consumers were aware of the impacts of online shopping, they weren’t planning to change their habits anytime soon. 49% of consumers planned to continue doing most of their shopping online as pandemic restrictions were eased. Not only that, but their expectations for fast and free shipping had actually increased as a result of the pandemic.
Altogether, this data built a picture of how 2020 shaped what we’re calling “The New eCommerce Shopper”. This new eCommerce shopper is informed, environmentally conscious, and aware of the impact of their purchasing decisions. They are not, however, planning to change their at-home shopping lifestyle anytime soon. So, if we Americans can’t give up at-home delivery, what can the ecommerce industry do to lessen its impact?
Understanding Customer Motivations
As we began to research how we could lessen the environmental impacts of shipments within our network we came across a study by Harvard Business Review that points out a cognitive dissonance among ecommerce shoppers. Their study found that 65% of shoppers want to support more sustainable businesses, but that, in fact, only 25% actually do.
Similarly, in a survey by Shopify, 49% of consumers reported that they would be willing to pay extra for a sustainable shipping option. However, those same shoppers were more likely to choose same-day or next-day shipping (with a considerably high carbon footprint) when the option was available.
We noted a similar cognitive dissonance in our survey data. Although 88% of respondents indicated that sustainability affected their purchasing decisions, only 54% of respondents were willing to pay extra for a sustainable shipping option. Slightly more respondents (66%) indicated that they would be more likely to purchase from a brand that offered carbon-neutral shipping at the same price and same delivery speed as their competitors without carbon-neutral shipping.
This cognitive dissonance is symptomatic of our 1-click purchase retail environment. Busy consumers have grown accustomed to the convenience of 1- to 2-day home delivery on everything from perishable food items to large appliances. When faced with a split second decision between convenience and sustainability, most consumers are choosing convenience, even when they seem to understand the impacts of their choices.
The Role of Consumer Choice
The question, then, is what is the responsibility of the ecommerce merchant? There’s a new level of expectation from ecommerce shoppers. And now that we’ve all had a taste of this frictionless, fast-paced shopping experience, it’s unlikely that we’ll ever go back.
But do consumers’ choices really reflect what they want? Or should merchants appeal to the nobler intentions of their customers?
The report from Harvard Business Review outlines a few tactics for “tricking” consumers into making more sustainable choices. Their suggestions include using social influence or making the more sustainable choice seem like the social norm. This tactic appeals to most people’s need to feel that they are behaving in a “normal” or socially acceptable way.
They also recommend publicly acknowledging shoppers’ sustainable choices, noting that most people are twice as likely to make an eco-friendly decision when others are present to witness that decision vs. when they are alone. Our merchant O2 Recovery, an oxygenated recovery drink with a brand emphasis on social responsibility, used this tactic when announcing their carbon neutral status on Earth Day this year. They promised a social media shout-out to any customers who made a purchase in celebration of their carbon neutral announcement and planted a tree for every purchase made that day, amounting to 1,000 trees planted in a single day.
However, we felt that while social influence is clearly a powerful motivator, there may be an additional tactic that the Harvard Business Review omitted: remove consumer choice.
If consumers say they want sustainable shipping options, we are going to enable our merchants to take it a step further — remove non-sustainable alternatives completely. We recognized that the responsibility doesn’t fall solely on our merchants. We needed to take responsibility for the environmental impacts of last-mile delivery by offering low-cost and easily adoptable sustainable shipping programs.
And our responsibility doesn’t stop there. Now that consumers have experienced a world where virtually any item they can imagine is available at the click of a button and can be delivered to their doorstep in two days or less, they won’t accept anything less. In fact, our survey data indicated that 33% of shoppers actually now have higher expectations for fast delivery as a result of the pandemic. So, to make sustainable final-mile delivery the most attractive option, it must also meet the new consumer expectations for delivery speed. There are two primary ways that our network enables merchants to deliver on both speed and sustainability:
Distributed Inventory: By forward-stocking inventory as close as possible to the end customer, our merchants can reach their customers with 2-day ground shipping. This lowers each shipment’s average time in transit (TNT), and the less distance a package travels to reach its destination, the less environmental impact it has. This also decreases a merchant’s reliance on next-day air shipments, which our analysts found to emit nearly six times the amount of carbon as small parcel ground shipments.
Carbon Offsets: Beyond decreasing the distance traveled by a package, we have chosen to subsidize carbon credits on behalf of our merchants to offset the carbon their shipments do emit. Through a partnership with Pachama, all of the carbon offset projects we support are measured through remote sensing and AI to ensure their credibility.
By working to provide the service levels ecommerce shoppers have come to expect while reducing the environmental impact of final mile delivery, we are partnering with our merchants to truly remove non-sustainable choices for consumers. When consumer choice is removed, shoppers are no longer confronted with diametrically opposed choices: the one they want to make (the eco-friendly one) and the one they’ve been programmed to make (the convenient one).
In this way, we have the opportunity to help consumers make the decision that, deep down, they actually want to make. Our merchants can also reward their customers by advertising their sustainable shipping practices. Consumers will still feel good about their decision to support sustainable business, even if the decision was ultimately made for them.
A Truly Frictionless Experience
Brands like O2 Recovery are choosing to lead the charge with recycled and compostable packaging materials, an initiative to be plastic-free by the end of 2021, and by partnering with a fulfillment provider that reduces and/or offsets all carbon emissions.
At the end of the day, removing choice by presenting consumers with only the choice they truly want will make for happier shoppers. Relieving ecommerce shoppers of their cognitive dissonance, then, may be the last frontier in creating a truly frictionless online shopping experience.

Traditionally, Char Siu Bao needs several days to prepare. We’ll make it in just a few hours. No mother dough or ammonium bicarbonate is required in this recipe. Stay tuned to find out more!
Steamed BBQ Pork Buns Recipe
Serves: 8 pieces
Prep time: 1 hour and 10 minutes
Rest time: 1 hour and 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
For the dough:
2 cups cake flour (260 g), and 2 tablespoons for dusting
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 tablespoon instant (rapid rise) yeast
2 teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder
¼ teaspoon lye water
1/3 teaspoon white vinegar
2 tablespoons extra light olive oil
½ cup (118 g) lukewarm water (around 100 °F or 38°C) (water level slightly more or less depends on the humidity level)
For the filling:
1 tablespoon extra light olive oil
½ onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fermented red bean curd sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons water
1 ½ cups diced Chinese BBQ Pork (Char Siu)
Make the dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake flour, powdered sugar, instant yeast, and aluminum-free baking powder. Pour in the extra light olive oil and water.
- First, use a pair of chopsticks to combine the wet and dry ingredients. Then use your hands to knead the mixture until it comes together into a ball of dough. (If it’s too sticky add another tablespoon of cake flour, if it’s too dry add another tablespoon of water, and knead again. The dough should feel soft but not sticky.)
- Cover the dough with a bowl. Rest for 10 minutes.
- On a flat working surface, knead the dough until smooth for 5 minutes. Dust some flour if needed.
- Cover the dough with a bowl. Rest for 30 minutes.
Make the filling:
- In a bowl, mix in the ingredients, fermented red bean curd sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, honey, chicken stock, and cornstarch slurry (1 1/2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 4 tablespoons of water).
- In a pan over medium heat, add the extra light olive oil and onion. Stir-fry until aromatic for 2 minutes. Pour in the sauce. Stir until it’s thickened.
- In a large bowl, transfer in the char siu and the sauce. Mix. Wait until cool.
Make the wrappers:
- Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough until it becomes round and flat.
- Roll up the dough into a log, about 20 inches in length.
- Cut off the 2 ends. Then cut it into 8 equal pieces. Work on a piece at a time. Cover the rest with plastic wrap.
- Dust some flour on the working surface, first press down the dough, then roll it into a disc, about 5 inches in diameter (it should be thicker in the center and thinner around the edges). Do the same with the rest of the dough.
Wrap the Char Siu Bao:
- Place about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
- Pinch together the 2 sides of the wrapper. Also, pinch together the other 2 sides. Seal the rest of the edges. Gather the 4 pointy ends of the buns and pinch them together. Make it into a round bun.
- Place the bun on a square parchment paper. Put the bun on a bamboo steamer. Do the same with the rest of the buns.
- Cover the lid. Rest for 30 minutes until they become bigger and fuller.
Steam the Char Siu Bao:
- In a large steamer over high heat, bring it to a boil. Transfer the bamboo steamer inside， cover the lid, and steam for 10 minutes. | <urn:uuid:c0f285ee-1297-44cc-90f5-5654af648b92> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://cicili.tv/steamed-bbq-pork-buns-recipe/ | 2021-10-19T11:16:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585265.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20211019105138-20211019135138-00591.warc.gz | en | 0.814379 | 865 | [

Sisters Amber and Sabrina Starke wear matching necklaces and rings as a reminder of their commitment to each other and to keep fighting the fight against leukemia.
After graduating from high school, Amber started college in May 2003. She passed out at work one day and was taken to her local emergency department. A CT scan revealed a tumor the size of a grapefruit between her heart and lung. The tumor was putting pressure on her heart, which caused her to collapse at work. Her doctors then performed a biopsy on the tumor, which showed Hodgkin's lymphoma. After completing six months of chemotherapy and four weeks of radiation, Amber was considered to be in remission. She then went back to work and lived a normal life, until about 10 years later.
In February 2013, Amber started to feel sick. She thought she would get over this feeling, but she did not. In April, she noticed lumps on her neck and decided to go see her oncologist. This is when she was told that she had acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Amber had trouble understanding why this would happen again, 10 years later. But she said, “I knew that I was a fighter then, and I am a fighter now. I would not let this disease get the best of me.”
Amber’s doctors at home admitted her to the hospital for more chemotherapy, when they then decided that she would need a bone marrow transplant from a donor as her best chance at getting into remission. After receiving this news, Amber was told that Mayo Clinic in Florida was the best place to go for bone marrow transplant. She decided to leave her home in West McLean, Va., to move to Jacksonville, Fla., for about four months to go through her bone marrow transplant and the necessary follow-up.
Amber has a great support system that includes her family and friends. Her three sisters all jumped at the chance to be tested to be potential donors. After the testing, her older sister, Sabrina, was found to be a perfect match. On July 25, 2013, Amber entered the hospital to begin a conditioning regimen of high-dose chemotherapy prior to her transplant. The same day, Sabrina began daily injections to prepare for her stem cells to be harvested. Her cells were collected through IVs in her arms on July 29. With the help of Amber’s BMT nurse coordinator, Sabrina was able to request for her “gift” to be given to her sister on Aug. 2, Amber’s 29th birthday, so she would have two birthdays on one day!
Amber’s road to recovery continues, and she is currently 35 days post-transplant. She describes her experience at Mayo Clinic as “amazing” and says she has never been around so many caring, happy people.
“Life after transplant is going to be great,” she says. Amber’s plans for the future are to get married, have children, and a live a happy and healthy life. She would also like to become more involved with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The society means a great deal to her, Amber says, as she has had friends that have both survived and passed away fighting blood cancers. “We need to keep fighting so that we don’t have to lose anyone else,” she says.
Throughout Amber’s treatment for both Hodgkins lymphoma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, her sister has stood by her side. “Sabrina is my sister, my caregiver and my donor,” Amber says. If she could tell Sabrina anything in response to what she has gone through to save her life, Amber says it would be, “Thank you! I owe you my life!” Sabrina says she feels that keeping a positive attitude and laughing a lot helps with her healing. “Caring for someone with cancer can be difficult,” she says. “You feel like there’s not a whole lot you can do, but what you can do is keep their spirits up.”
Amber’s advice to other patients going through a similar situation is to stay positive. “It’s all about attitude!" she says. “Surround yourself with the people you love, and you’ll get through anything.”
September is blood cancer awareness month – anyone who wants to help the fight against blood cancers can do so by joining the Be The Match registry to become a potential marrow donor. According to Sabrina, when you are weighing the decision to join the registry and potentially save a life, you should know that, “It’s not too difficult; you don’t have to be helpless in this fight.” You can also help raise awareness for the fight against blood cancers by getting involved with your local Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Chapter.

Welcome back to SuperMansion. Crackle just announced the TV show’s third season will return in October.
The animated comedy follows Titanium Rex (voiced by Bryan Cranston) and the League of Freedom, a group of superheroes who use their superpowers to fight for liberty, justice, and social relevance — or at least that’s their purpose. The voice cast also includes Keegan-Michael Key, Heidi Gardner, Zeb Wells, Jillian Bell, Tom Root, Chris Pine, and Breckin Meyer.
Take a sneak peek and read more info below:
Culver City, CA, August 28, 2018 – Sony Crackle, the free streaming network, today announced that “SuperMansion,” the Emmy-nominated, stop-motion adult animated comedy series, will debut new episodes of season three on Thursday, October 4, with an early exclusive starting Monday, September 24 on PlayStation®3 and PlayStation®4 through the Sony Crackle app. Oscar® and Emmy®-nominated actress Minnie Driver, will join the cast in a recurring role as Debbie Devizo, Dr. Devizo’s (Chris Pine) ex-wife and former League of Freedom team member. Sony Crackle also released the official trailer and key art, which provides a first look at Minnie Driver’s character in action.
After defeating Zenith’s (Yvette Nicole Brown) evil Uncle Ridan (Taran Killiam), the League finds themselves trapped in a dystopian future, but when they escape back to our time, they discover they’ve been gone six months…and Dr. Devizo (Chris Pine) and his Injustice Club has replaced them as the League of Freedom! Rex (Bryan Cranston) and the team must learn what it means to be heroes without the fame and glory afforded them by their stature in the mansion. But it’s not all champagne and roses for Dr. Devizo (Chris Pine) – his ex-wife, Debbie Devizo (Minnie Driver), returns from the island he stranded her on decades ago. The island has turned her into an unstoppable killing machine…and Dr. Devizo is in her crosshairs! Rex and his team must decide if Dr. Devizo is worth saving…and then figure out how!
Following the success of “SuperMansion: Summer Vacation Special,” the network also announced the all-new original Thanksgiving holiday special, “A Prayer for Mr. T: The SuperMansion Thanksgiving Special,” set to debut Thursday, November 15. In the upcoming holiday special, the annual Thanksgiving turkey competition between Titanium Rex (Bryan Cranston) and Dr. Devizo (Chris Pine) goes awry when Rex’s turkey transforms into a nightmarish bird monster whose eggs hatch additional freakish bird creatures at an alarming rate. Lex (Jillian Bell) aims to prove herself worthy of a seat at the grown ups’ table while Black Saturn (Tucker Gilmore) brings The Groaner (Zeb Wells) to his family’s mansion for a traditional Wheelihan Thanksgiving dinner, complete with snobby gherkins and snobbier guests.
Voice-acting stars Bryan Cranston (“Breaking Bad”), Keegan-Michael Key (“Key & Peele”), Chris Pine (“Star Trek”), Jillian Bell (“22 Jump Street”), Heidi Gardner (“Saturday Night Live”), Tucker Gilmore (“Frozen”) and Zeb Wells (also writer) will all return in the all-new episodes and upcoming special. Returning guest stars this season include: Breckin Meyer (“Robot Chicken”), Jay Pharoah (“White Famous”), Yvette Nicole Brown (“Community”), Gary Anthony Williams (“Whose Line is it Anyway”), Tony Cavalero (“School of Rock”), Tom Root (“Robot Chicken”) and more.
“SuperMansion” is created by Zeb Wells and Matthew Senreich (“Robot Chicken”), who also act as executive producers under their production company Stoopid Buddy Stoodios alongside Seth Green, John Harvatine IV, Eric Towner and Tom Root. Bryan Cranston and James Degus also serve as executive producers under their production banner Moonshot Entertainment. The series is distributed by Sony Pictures Television Inc.

Panama Grounds Boeing 737 Max 9
As of Wednesday Copa Airlines in Panama grounded all Boeing’s 737 planes, using other planes to make up the flights.
Boeing’s 737 Max 8 have been in the news following the crash of one of the jets in Ethiopia on Sunday.
Data gathered from a combination of government announcements, airline announcements, local press reports and information from the aviation site ch-aviation.com March 13, 2019, helped to give a better idea of who was flying the 737 Max 8, and who was not.
In North America airlines that had grounded the plane were: Air Canada, Aeromexico, Cayman Airways, Copa Airlines of Panama (Max 9s only), Sunwing Airlines of Canada and WestJet of Canada.
After the U.S. moved to ensure the planes were grounded American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines (Max 9s only) followed suit. | <urn:uuid:96156d04-9f77-4146-9873-9b0a0be5afe0> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://playacommunity.com/panama-articles/national-news/7656-panama-not-flying-boeing-373.html | 2021-10-20T22:50:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585353.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020214358-20211021004358-00671.warc.gz | en | 0.921365 | 192 | [

1st spot –
This spot will highlight the success of Muscogee (Creek) tribal members. Muscogee (Creek) people have members in a variety of fields including; business, medicine, entertainment, etc… We will highlight them and capture the momentum of the Muscogee (Creek) leaders as they pave the way for the future. Too many tribal commercials focus on the past --- we will highlight the future.
In keeping with the message of the forward movement of the Muscogee (Creek) people the look of the commercial will reflect this. With use of Tripods, Dolly Tracking shots and graphics the images will be in constant movement. Not so much that it becomes distracting, but in a very classic, yet modern style.
2nd Spot –
Here we will highlight the positive impact that gaming has had on the tribe and the surrounding community. We will show the jobs that gaming has created as well as the programs that exist because of gaming revenue. We will focus on the Jenks Riverwalk and reflect how the Muscogee (Creek) Nation is impacting the larger community as a whole in Oklahoma.
In keeping with the style of the 1st spot we will have a constantly moving, fluid camera to reflect the forward movement of the tribe.

Water quality varies depending on location. In some areas, total dissolved solids can be sustained at or below 250 ppm, eliminating pre-treatment measures for effective waterjet operation. However, in areas where the total dissolved solids (TDS) rise in excess of 250 ppm, an OMAX Reverse Osmosis System can be just the assurance you need to provide clean, pure water to your equipment.
- Can remove up to 90% of total dissolved solids in water
- Protects OMAX and MAXIEM abrasive waterjet systems to maximize machine uptime
- Virtually hands-free operation
- Excess pure water output can be used for other equipment in a shop (such as EDM, etc.)
- Inexpensive monthly filter changes
- Two types of pre-treatment filters: 5-micron and carbon black
- Includes a digital total dissolved solids meter for quick visual review
- Time clock initiated water softener system capable of a 10 gpm flow rate with 45,000 grains removed
- Sturdy powder-coated steel frame designed for out of the way wall mounting
- Two 4” x 40” membranes capable of handling over 4,000 gallons per day at 77 psi
What is Reverse Osmosis?
To understand reverse osmosis, you must first understand osmosis. During natural osmosis, water flows from a less concentrated solution through a semipermeable membrane to a more concentrated saline solution until concentrations on both sides of the membrane are equal.
Reverse osmosis requires external pressure to reverse natural osmotic flow. As pressure is applied to the saline solution, water flows from a more concentrated saline solution through the semipermeable membrane.

In this video we will be talking with Patrick Roland who has a dual diagnosis of drug addiction and bipolar disorder.
In 2014, Patrick lost his partner, Pack, suddenly and without warning. In tremendous emotional pain and feeling desperately, lonely and depressed, he started to use recreational drugs heavily and hit rock-bottom while on a trip to Las Vegas. During that trip, he met with his bipolar diagnosis.
After being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and then getting sober, Patrick started his new journey with a founded strength to face the obstacles that were to come.
He has authored three books about his experience, including a children’s book.
Patrick lives in Phoenix, AZ where he works as a peer support specialist at a mental health clinic. He is currently in Grad school working towards a master’s degree in Addiction Counseling. | <urn:uuid:26d1e06b-7f2e-4dac-845c-75128422121d> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://ibpf.org/articles/addiction-and-bipolar-learning-to-sparkle-in-hard-times/ | 2021-10-24T00:13:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585828.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20211023224247-20211024014247-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.97344 | 169 | [

The concept of the Dark Web isn’t vastly different from the Surface Web. There are message boards (e.g. 8chan, nntpchan), places you can buy things (e.g. Alphabay, Hansa), and blogs (e.g. OnionNews, Deep Web Radio). The rules, or rather a lack thereof, is what makes the Dark Web unique. Anything that is illegal to sell (or discuss) on the Surface Web is available in the Dark Web. Personal information, drugs, weapons, malware, DDoS attacks, hacking services, fake accounts for social media, and contract killing services are all available for sale.
The Dark Web is full of criminal activity, but it’s also place where dissidents and whistle-blowers can anonymously share information. In countries with restrictive internet surveillance, the Dark Web may be the only place to safely voice criticisms against government and other powerful entities.
Originally, the internet used telephone network for communication. My first internet connection was a “dial-up” connection which used the telephone network at my house to connect to my ISP. This is what an overlay network is, and in that case, internet was an overlay over the telephone network. Now, the reverse phenomenon can be seen, with people using the internet for voice calls (Voice over IP to be precise), and the telephone network is turning into an overlay over the internet.
How does knowing what an overlay network is help us? Well, to understand the dark web, we need to understand what the dark net is first.
The dark net is the opposite of clear-net. Clear-net is simply parts of the internet which are index-able by search engines. This means that search engine crawlers can read up the pages, understand what the content is, and return those pages when relevant search queries are made to the search engine. On the other hand, dark net can’t be indexed, and usually uses uncommon communication protocols, encryption, etc. to achieve that result. Here’s where overlay networks get relevant, all of dark net is an overlay network over the internet. Hence, while the Darknet and clear-net reside on the internet, Darknet still manages to be structurally different from the rest of the internet.
From the darknet, we move to the dark web, which is a subset of the dark net. While dark net consists of all sorts of stuff, from www pages to file transfer service and peer to peer connections, dark web only includes the world wide web pages of the dark net (Hence the change from the more encompassing term net in darknet to web in dark web).
What does it contain
- Child pornography and illegal drug markets – These are the two things which the dark web is most infamous for, and if you’ve heard about the dark web, it’s quite likely it in reference to either (or both) of these.
- Bitcoin services – Bitcoin is a Cryptocurrency, and considering the nature of activities that go on in the dark web, and the need for anonymity, it’s the most common form of payment for any service that you seek on the dark-web.
- Hackers for hire
- Carding forums
- Plenty of scam sites, phishing sites, etc.
- Social media
- File sharing
However, the dark web, in general, consists mostly of file sharing, as shown by many studies. While the first few pointers in the list stand out in the crowd, they are not what the dark web is all about. PS: I make no guarantee about the accuracy of these stats.
Note : Using TOR is not illegal (in most countries) , but many of the things on the dark web are illegal. Despite the strongly encrypted communications and high level of anonymity, I’d like to suggest that you don’t access any illegal content of the site. This article is only meant to educate you about the presence of the dark web, as not knowing about it doesn’t mean it’ll cease to exist, and as someone interested in the field of computer security/hacking, you must know about the dark web.
How to Access the dark web
There are many ways to access the dark web. Being a part of the deep net, dark web operates differently than the clear-net, and needs special client software to be accessed. While there are multiple ways to access the dark web, the most common and recommended method involves using TOR, and then visiting the .onion websites. All dark web website have a url with .onion TLD (top level domain), which looks similar to the way the clear-net websites have .com, .org, .net, etc. TLD. Once you have TOR and find out the .onion address of a deep web site (hidden web site), you can simply enter it in the URL bar on TOR browser, and it’ll open, just as normal websites open in usual browsers.
If you read the previous boring section, you’d see that I mentioned how the darknet often uses uncommon communication protocols, etc. In case of the dark web, we see that phenomenon with respect to the onion websites. I won’t go in much depth, but first look at a .onion URL suggests that it’s similar to the clear-net websites. However, internally, the way they work is nothing similar to the clear-net. Precisely, .onion is not part of the internet’s DNS root, and hence, normal DNS servers can’t resolve your request if you type the URL of a .onion website on your browser. TOR redirects these requests through it’s own servers, similar to the way proxies work, and then we get to the website, without the involvement of DNS servers anywhere. This ensures that search engine bots can’t browse around the deep web, and that anonymity is maintained, both of the client looking at the web pages, as well as the server serving the web pages. In other words, the server doesn’t know who the client is, and the client doesn’t know anything about where the server is.)
All required instructions can be found here, and I suggest you skip this section of the guide and use the official page (which has very very detailed instructions if you scroll down on that page)
Simply go to TOR Browser Download page, and download and run the executable provided. No further instructions are needed as far as installation goes, since it’s quite similar to how you’d install regular software on windows.
Go to TOR Browser Download page, and download the .tar.xz archive (according to your architecture, 64bit or 32bit). There is no installation procedure. Simply extract the archive (using GUI or using tar on terminal).
Just extract the archive and you’re good to go. A more detailed guide can be found here
Finding onion websites
Now that you have what looks like Mozilla Firefox running in front of you. You can simply enter normal URLs and enjoy surfing the web with privacy. However, we are here to browse the dark web, and we have no idea what to enter in the URL bar.The solution is simple, just head over to the hidden wiki (clearnet link), and you’ll have a list of websites you can go to. Better yet, go to the dark web hidden wiki (link opens only on TOR), with an indexing of dark web websites. You are now surfing the dark web. This is the furthest I’m taking you, and from here on, you can go wherever you want. You can simply click URLs on the hidden wiki like you’d do on a regular browser, and the website would open. Regardless of what happens behind the scenes, the user experience from here on is what it’s like in the clear web (albeit a lot slower).
As far as finding websites is concerned, you are left with indexes of websites, such as the hidden wiki, and some search engines, which are nowhere as good as the clearnet search engines, which is, by design, the intention of the dark web.
Torch search engine, the hidden wiki has a link to it, which can be opened directly on TOR
Go around, explore the place, don’t go anywhere illegal, don’t do anything illegal. Also, beware of scams, and don’t leave your personal information anywhere. Take a look at instructions on how to be safe when using tor, follow them properly, and you won’t face any troubles. Recent changes to Tor, such as 50-character hidden service URLs, have made the Dark Web an even more untraceable place, so we may never fully know what lies beneath the surface of the internet. Based on the parts we have seen, perhaps that’s for the best.
If you don’t know the dark side then you are not really fighting it. There are darkness in this world but there’s also light. You get to chose which side you want to be. | <urn:uuid:711c24dc-88a4-4901-bc05-bb338aba5b06> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.blackmoreops.com/2018/12/27/how-to-access-dark-web/ | 2021-10-23T23:00:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585828.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20211023224247-20211024014247-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.919667 | 1,897 | [

Divorce statistics are fascinating. You can find data that will supposedly tell you how likely you are to get divorced based on where you live, what you do, and what kind of wedding you had. You can also find data that will allegedly predict what will happen to your health, wealth and relationships after you’re divorced. Not only are some of these “divorce facts” surprising, but they may not all be what they seem.
If you look hard enough you can find statistics that supposedly show that you are more likely to divorce if you have girls rather than boys, if only you, but not your spouse, smokes, or if either you or your spouse gains 20% more than your body weight after marriage. Yet, with all due respect to the social scientists and statisticians who have devoted their lives to generating this kind of “data,” it is often hard to tell divorce facts from fiction.
What You Can Learn From Divorce Statistics
Divorce statistics can be fascinating — especially when you’re facing divorce yourself! The problem is that, by the time divorce is knocking on your door, all the divorce statistics in the world won’t help you deal with what you’re going through. (Sorry!)
Even still, it’s interesting to know what researchers have to say about marriage and divorce.
Just don’t take the divorce statistics you read too seriously.
While researchers undoubtedly mean well, human relationships are so complicated that trying to predict what will lead to divorce, or what will happen because of divorce, is like trying to predict what the weather will be like in Chicago six weeks (or sometimes even six hours!) in advance.
Yet, in the interest of supporting “scientific research,” as well as having a little fun, here is a slightly irreverent analysis of the divorce facts that the studies claim to reveal, and the lessons you can “learn” from them.
1. It is Better to Get Married Than to Live Together.
Couples who live together without marrying are less likely to stay together than couples who marry. The probability of a first marriage ending in separation or divorce within 5 years is 20%, but the probability of a cohabitation relationship breaking up within 5 years is 49%.
2. You Are More Likely to Get Divorced Than You Are to Get Hit By a Car.
3. If You Want to Be President, Stay Married.
The only two U.S. Presidents to have been elected to office after being divorced are Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. I leave it to you to draw your own conclusions about what this says about Americans.
4. Your Divorce Will Never Be This Expensive.
The most expensive divorce in history is reportedly the divorce of the Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolevlev, from his ex-wife, Elena. Their six-year legal battle ended in an undisclosed settlement after a $4.5 billion divorce judgment awarded to Ms. Rybolevlev by a Swiss court was overturned. (There’s no word on how much either one of the Rybolevlevs spent on attorney’s fees either!)
5. If You Don’t Want to Divorce, Get Married on the Cheap!
You are 3.5 times more likely to divorce if you spend more than $20,000 on your wedding than you are if you spend between $5,000 – $10,000.
6. The United States is NOT Number One!
According to the United Nations, the country with the highest divorce rate is Maldives, with 10.97 divorces per 1,000 people per year. That is followed by Belarus, with 4.63 divorces per 1,000 people per year. The United States comes in third, with 4.34 divorces per 1,000 people per year.
7. Facebook is Bad for Your Marriage.
According to a survey done by Divorce Online, a British legal service, Facebook was mentioned in 1/3 of all divorce filings in 2011.
8. Beware of the Seven Year Itch!
The average length of a first marriage that ends in divorce in the United States is just under 8 years.
9. Being a Celebrity Doesn’t Make You a Good Person.
Phil Collins delivered the news to his second wife that he wanted a divorce via fax. Russell Brand told Katy Perry he wanted a divorce via text. Millionaire art collector Charles Saatchi bested both men. He didn’t tell his wife, celebrity chef Nigella Lawson, that he wanted a divorce at all – he just announced it in a press release!
10. Karma Happens.
75% of people who marry their affair partners after divorcing their spouse end up divorcing their affair partner too.
11. Even a Nobel Prize Won’t Help You Stay Married.
Einstein’s Nobel prize money went to his ex-wife as a divorce settlement.
12. For a Good Marriage, Work From Home.
A Swedish researcher found that couples who spend more than 45 minutes commuting to work are 40% more likely to divorce.
13. It’s Better to Be A Runaway Bride Than a Bride With Cold Feet.
Research shows that a bride with cold feet nearly doubles the chance of divorce.
14. 32 is the Charm!
It’s no secret that marrying young can cause divorce. But, if you haven’t married by age 32, your risk of divorce actually starts increasing.
15. The Hottest Divorce Trend is Not What You Think!
Americans over 50 are now twice as likely to get divorced as 50-year-olds were 20 years ago. 25% of divorcing Americans are now over 50.
16. Losing Weight Can Be Great for Your Health, But Bad for Your Marriage.
The divorce rate for people who were overweight or obese when they got married, and later had bariatric surgery and lost a lot of weight is between 80 – 85%.
17. Gaining Weight Can Be Just as Bad for Your Marriage.
Gaining a lot of weight can be just as bad as losing it! According to experts, if you’ve gained more than 20% of your body weight since your marriage, you may be headed for divorce. This can be especially problematic because both marriage and divorce can cause weight gain!
18. If You Want to Stay Married, Get a Degree.
College graduates tend to get married slightly later and are 10 – 20% less likely to divorce.
19. Your Job Matters More Than You Think.
According to a recent study, divorce rates are the highest for dancers (43.055), bartenders (38.43%), massage therapists (38.22%), gaming cage workers (34.66%), extruding machine operators (32.77%), gaming services operators (31.34%) and factory workers (29.78%). Divorce rates are lowest for media and communication equipment workers (0%), agricultural engineers (1.78%), optometrists (4.01%), transit and railroad police (5.26%), and clergy (5.61%).
20. You Might as Well Be Nice to your Ex From the Start.
Canadian research has shown that, within two years of a separation, the majority of parents establish polite (although not necessarily warm and fuzzy) communication with their ex. By that time, their children have usually adapted to their new living arrangement.
21. Marriage May Not be Forever, But Neither is Divorce.
Approximately 6% of Americans marry, divorce, then remarry each other!
22. If You Want to Stay Married, Move to the Northeast.
The Northeastern part of the United States has the lowest divorce rate. The South has the highest divorce rate.
23. If You’re Having Marital Problems, Be Careful in the Spring and Fall.
University of Washington sociologists who studied divorce court records in the state of Washington found that divorce filings follow a bi-annual pattern. More people file for divorce in March and August than in any other months.
24. “Booze Compatibility” Matters.
It’s no surprise that heavy drinking can affect your marriage. But, according to a study in the Journal of Alcoholism, whether you and your spouse have similar drinking behavior matters too. Women who are heavy drinkers with husbands who are not heavy drinkers have three times the divorce rate than that of non-drinkers.
25. To Avoid Divorce, Smile!
People who frown in photos are 5 times more likely to divorce than people who smile.
26. Sharing Behaviors is Just as Important as Sharing Values.
If only one spouse in a marriage smokes, that marriage is 75 -91% more likely to end in divorce.
27. What You Fight About Matters.
Fighting over money is a bigger predictor of divorce than arguing with your spouse over other things.
28. Having Kids Can Keep You Together.
“Staying married for the kids” is definitely a thing. The divorce rate among couples with children is 40% lower than the divorce rate among couples without children.
29. You May Remarry, But Not Right Away.
30. You’re Less Likely to Get Divorced Now Than You Have Been for Decades.
In spite of the popular notion that the U.S. divorce rate is rising, the opposite is true. In 2015, the divorce rate was at its lowest point in the last 40 years.
How “Factual” Are “Divorce Facts”?
Fortunately or unfortunately, in today’s information age, it’s easy to find a mountain of divorce statistics on the internet. The problem is that it’s often hard to tell divorce facts from fiction.
With all due respect to the social scientists in the world, some of the “conclusions” floating around about divorce may not be nearly as “scientific” as they seem.
For example, a highly publicized Duke University study famously concluded in 2015 that divorced people have an increased lifetime risk of having a heart attack. A later study in 2018 supposedly reached a similar conclusion. (It also found that being single and never married, and being widowed, increased the risk of heart attack and/or stroke as well.)
But if you actually read the research you’ll find that what it really says is that 80% of the risk of heart attack is due to factors like age, sex, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, smoking and diabetes! What’s more, none of the research evaluated the quality of anyone’s marriage.
While being in a good marriage may be good for your health, being in a bad marriage may disastrous for your health!
The bottom line is that, contrary to what you might think, getting a divorce does NOT necessarily mean that you’re going to go to an early grave!
The Problem With Divorce Statistics
When it comes to any divorce statistics, drawing accurate conclusions is tough.
Social scientists can never control every single variable in their subjects’ lives. What’s more, a multitude of variables can lead a couple to divorce. Because of that, it’s difficult to know if something that appears to be correlated with divorce actually causes divorce. In short, it’s hard to separate correlation (divorced people have heart attacks) with causation (divorce causes a higher risk of having a heart attack.)
For example, more people may have a heart attack between 4 – 10am. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that the morning sun causes heart attacks.
To complicate matters even further, even a brief review of the scientific studies shows that the conclusions that the researchers draw aren’t necessarily the same as those the media reports.
For example, the Duke University study did find that the divorced people in their study had a higher incidence of heart attacks than those who were not divorced. But, the researchers also said:
… the cumulative association between divorce and risks for acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) is unknown.
The bottom line is that taken out of context, “divorce facts” can be misleading.
The Real Divorce Facts
If you are facing a divorce, especially a divorce you didn’t see coming, it’s tempting to try to scour the internet to look for information that will help you figure out what happened.
You want answers.
So you look for divorce statistics that may explain why your marriage failed. You want to know whether you were doomed from the start. You want to know whether you accidentally did something (like gain weight) that caused your marriage to go down the tubes.
After all, if you did something wrong, maybe you could still un-do it.
Most of all, when you find yourself scouring the internet looking for divorce facts at 2 am, you want to know that you are not alone.
What you need to remember is that no matter how comforting (or discomforting) they are, divorce statistics are just numbers. They may tell a story, but they don’t necessarily tell YOUR story.
The truth is divorce happens.
It happens to a lot of good people all over the world.
It happens to people who never thought it would happen to them. And it happens for every reason under the sun.
If divorce is happening to you, it’s normal to want to know why it’s happening. But in the end, all you can really do is deal with it.
When you do, remember one thing. No matter what the statistics say, you are much, much more than a divorce statistic. | <urn:uuid:9c096102-302b-4566-9bff-35103356cb72> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://belldivorceadvisors.com/2021/01/divorce-statistics-30-surprising-divorce-facts-you-may-not-know/ | 2021-10-25T10:04:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587659.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20211025092203-20211025122203-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.952572 | 2,877 | [

If you have a baby, you know about unpleasant occurrence of diaper rash. While it’s a common problem, even a mild case can upset you — and irritate your little one.
Cleveland Clinic is a non-profit academic medical center. Advertising on our site helps support our mission. We do not endorse non-Cleveland Clinic products or services. Policy
When you’re changing a diaper and find a red, painful-looking bottom, it’s not only important to know how to treat it, but also how to avoid recurrence. Often, this involves basic care adjustments, but sometimes, it can be harder to pinpoint the source of the problem, especially if it’s related to food or skin allergies.
Pediatrician Jacqueline Kaari, DO, explains what to watch for, how to avoid making diaper rash worse and when you should suspect that allergies are involved.
Deciphering the diaper rash: first steps
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, “more than half of all babies between 4 to 15 months of age will develop diaper rash at least once in a two-month period.” So you’re not alone if you and your baby are occasionally struggling with an outbreak.
“It’s a quality-of-life issue for the child who is miserable, and for the parents who want to help but are not getting any sleep,” Dr. Kaari says.
She says to first look for the most common cause of diaper rash, which is a baby wearing a wet or soiled diaper for too long. It’s important to pay attention to a few diapering basics before looking for other causes.
Basic care tips for your baby’s diaper rash
Research suggests that diaper rash is less common with disposable diapers, but what’s more important than the type of diaper is how often you change it.
Before you consider allergies as a culprit, check to see if you are doing the following:
- Change your baby’s wet or soiled diaper as soon as possible. “That’s the best strategy to prevent diaper rash,” Dr. Kaari says. Be especially vigilant if your child has diarrhea or is taking an antibiotic (or if you’re a nursing mother taking an antibiotic). Antibiotics can cause loose stools and extra irritation.
- Apply a protective ointment or cream. Look for products containing zinc oxide or petroleum jelly to use and apply when changing a diaper.
- Let your baby go without a diaper at home whenever possible. This exposes their bottom to fresh air.
Watch for allergies and other factors
Besides the most obvious, there are several other factors that may leave your baby with a red bottom:
1. Disagreeable diapers or wipes. A certain brand of disposable diaper or baby wipe could irritate the skin.
Tip: “While they may outgrow the irritant, the best thing is to try a different product,” Dr. Kaari says. “The simplest strategy is trial and error — eliminate one variable at a time.” Use water wipes or a soft cloth with water to clean their bottom. If your baby’s bottom is red, try to avoid using regular baby wipes to clean the area. These may cause further irritation.
2. Irritating detergent. The laundry detergent used to wash cloth diapers is sometimes the culprit, but if this is the case, your child is also likely to have a rash elsewhere on the body.
Tip: Use detergents labeled scent/fragrance-free and dye-free to wash your baby’s diapers and clothes. Stick with one brand if you suspect soap is irritating your child’s skin.
3. Harmful heat. Hot, humid weather or overdressing a child for the weather can cause a heat rash in the groin area. However, as with detergent, the rash is likely to also show up elsewhere, particularly on the neck, armpits and elbow creases.
Tip: Of course you want to keep your baby warm enough, but it’s possible to overdo it.
In cold weather, check on your baby and loosen clothing as needed when you’re moving from your car to stores or restaurants and back. In hot weather, a diaper is often enough, but use sunscreen and shade when you’re outside. And bring an outfit for air-conditioned spaces.
4. Unfriendly food. Your child may have a food sensitivity or allergy, but other symptoms besides diaper rash are also likely in this case.
“For instance, a child having an adverse reaction to cow’s milk is likely to also have blood in the stool, hives, swollen lips and/or wheezing,” says Dr. Kaari.
Tip: To prevent food allergies, doctors recommend that children avoid milk before age 1 and eggs before age 2.
Know when to call for help
Despite all your best efforts, a child can still develop a diaper rash, either gradually or suddenly. If that happens, clean the area gently with soap and a soft cloth. Avoid rubbing and always be sure to pat the area completely dry.
Call your pediatrician if the rash:
- Persists for three days or gets worse.
- Is more red-dotted than solid red, indicating a possible yeast infection.
- Contains skin that is breaking down and not intact.
- Is accompanied by a fever.
“If there’s any question in your mind, bring them in to see their pediatrician,” says Dr. Kaari, adding, “I tell my parents that about anything.” | <urn:uuid:d824103c-4e4c-429f-be8e-3ba454201dff> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://health.clevelandclinic.org/causes-of-diaper-rash/ | 2021-10-25T10:10:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587659.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20211025092203-20211025122203-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.930584 | 1,189 | [

Overcoming fear of unknown is a challenging endeavor, but it can be done. If you suffer from a fear of uncertainty, understanding what fear is, and how it affects you, can start you on the road to conquering it.
Fear has been defined in several ways; however, the most basic definition of fear is an emotional response based on the fact that we’re faced with something unfamiliar or impending danger.
When we experience fear, several psychological and physiological responses take place all at the same time.
Psychological events include feeling emotionally overwhelmed, having high levels of anxiety, and even feeling terrified. Physiological responses include a faster heart rate, shallow breathing, and similar effects.
Experiencing fear can greatly impact your view on life, your confidence levels, and even the potential that you have as an individual.
Here’s an example of a situation where a woman had the crippling fear that everything she did would result in failure:
Janice was very successful in her career and personal life. It seemed that people were instantly drawn to her and her ideas, but on the inside, Janice was a mess.
Every time she worked on a project, she would throw herself into it. In the end, she would ultimately succeed, but on the inside, she was always worried that she would fail or that her completed project wouldn’t be good enough.
For the most part, she recognized the fact that her fear was irrational. However, Janice grew up in an abusive home. She was physically beaten and consistently ridiculed by her father. Regardless of what she did, it was never enough to meet his expectations.
The result was that she grew up to become a workaholic, often struggling to finish several things at once, and leaving very little time for herself.
The root of her fear of failure was grounded in her childhood. Her father harbored unrealistically high expectations and would be mentally and physically abusive towards her when his expectations weren’t met. Once she realized this about her past, Janice was able to ease her personal expectations and overcome her fear.
Here are some strategies you can use to help overcome your fear:
1. Recognize your fears. By realizing that you’re fearful, you’re more likely to get to the bottom of what the fear is.
* You may also have a fear of facing your fears. The best way to conquer this fear is to accept the truth behind what’s causing you to experience limited happiness in life.
* You might come to understand that you’re afraid of failing or taking chances. You may even be fearful because you simply don’t have confidence in yourself.
* Regardless of the issue at hand, it’s important that you recognize your fear and attempt to define what it is that makes you terrified of the unknown. The key here is not to dwell on your fear, but rather to understand precisely what it is you’re worried about.
2. Determine the underlying root of your fears. How can you identify the cause of your fears? An insightful look at your life might reveal the answer. By recognizing what causes your fears, it’s likely you can overcome them with great success!
3. Face your fears. Once you’ve accepted your fear and identified the root cause, you’re ready to conquer it! The best method to do this is to face it head on.
* Make a decision to purposely tackle your fears by indulging yourself in activities that push you outside of your comfort zone. For example, put yourself in a place where you’re safe, yet uncomfortable, or respectfully confront someone from your past. In the end, you’ll find that you can successfully overcome your fears, one by one!
Overcoming your fear of the unknown is a difficult undertaking. However, if you take the time to engage in these three steps, you’ll discover a renewed peace and happiness within your heart!
As you work to unlock the chains that bind you to your fears, you’ll enjoy a freedom that you’ve never felt before. | <urn:uuid:b84093f5-df10-41d2-bf5d-b1b7114afa95> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://personaldevelopmentmaster.com/overcoming-the-fear-of-the-unknown/ | 2021-10-26T21:32:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587926.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20211026200738-20211026230738-00271.warc.gz | en | 0.975677 | 851 | [

I have downloaded a few free books from Amazon including three by bloggers, who each offered their new book free for a limited time. I read two of them from cover to cover, one in a very short time. It was a good story and I had a cold, which left me short of energy for other tasks. The third book irritated me, so I gave up on it.
My reaction to the books I read made me stop and consider what I need to watch out for if I ever venture along the self-publishing route. The following points stood out as being of particular importance.
- Proof-reading is necessary.
- The structure of the book is important.
- The style should be consistent.
- While clichés should be avoided, any invented imagery should help the flow of the writing rather than bring the reader up sharp.
- Variation in pace is desirable.
To expand on the bullet points above, I’d like to mention a few pitfalls for self-publishing authors.
- The automatic spell-checker sometimes substitutes a word, which is different from the one the author intended.
- Words which sound the same, but have different meanings (homophones) need particular care.
- If a book is written with a particular audience in mind, such as the author’s friends and family, other readers may feel excluded if relevant information (taken for granted by the original readership) is not included.
- Grammatical mistakes may be off-putting. You might like to check out your knowledge of grammar here.
I prefer to hold a book in my hand – or read one at a table rather than on a computer screen. I like to know how thick the book is. Kindle’s location does not mean much to me yet.
I have to say that not having ventured into self-publishing, I admire those who have negotiated all the steps involved.
Here are some tips from a successful writer. | <urn:uuid:5a66a769-2d94-4ef1-8b13-e783fe04a5fd> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://suestrifles.wordpress.com/2013/12/14/what-i-have-learned-from-reading-free-books/ | 2021-10-26T22:29:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587926.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20211026200738-20211026230738-00271.warc.gz | en | 0.959844 | 407 | [

Two of my best friends were going to Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta and they were telling me I should head down to join them, but I didn’t have a game ticket or any arrangements. So I began the week thinking there was no chance I was going. They kept telling me that we’d find a ticket and that I could stay in their hotel room. By midweek, I was giving it serious consideration and I eventually said, “What the hell?” I had never been to a Super Bowl, and who knows when the opportunity would present itself again? So I decided to make the trek to Atlanta. My brother is an airline pilot and I was able to fly out of Providence on standby Thursday afternoon to Washington D.C., where I also was on standby. I eventually got the last seat on a flight to Atlanta and arrived Thursday night around 10 p.m. We had a great time over the next three days. The Patriots had a team house at Centennial Park where we were able to hang out, listen to live music, watch the Patriots pep rally, eat good food, imbibe on some adult beverages and have fun. I met former Patriots Lawyer Milloy, Stanley Morgan, Ben Coates and Chris Slade along with Chris Hogan and Josh McDaniels. I was able to get a single game ticket and a ticket to the Patriots pregame tailgate and postgame party at the team hotel. On game day, the stadium was filled with Patriots fans and the noise level was like being at Gillette Stadium. The Pats scored 10 straight points, including the game’s only touchdown after a beautiful pass from Tom Brady to Rob Gronkowski (his last ever catch as a Patriot), to turn a 3-3 tie into a 13-3 lead. The outcome hung in the balance until Stephon Gilmore’s interception at the Patriots 4-yard line with about four minutes left all but ended the Rams comeback hopes. The Patriots won their sixth Super Bowl, 13-3. I reconnected with my friends after the game and we went to the celebration. I still have the Patriots-labeled cigar and Super Bowl Championship hat they gave us as we entered the postgame party. The entertainment was awesome at both the pregame and potsgame events. LOCASH, Doug Flutie’s band (I’m a BC alum), Old Dominion, Snoop Dogg, The Chainsmokers, Meek Mill, Ludacris and Gucci Mane. I actually had to leave the party to get to the airport to fly out at 6:30 with no sleep. Well worth it. Watching the Patriots win their sixth Super Bowl was awesome. Celebrating that win with my best friends at the team’s postgame party… priceless!

Here is the example straight penis for this blog entry.
This example penis shows a slight shape change to the left side right under the head, as highlighted in the picture below.
The shape change noted in minor enough that it can be ignored. Althogh it is difficult to tell because of the close up nature of the photo, the change to the shape of the penis could be due to masturbation, as opposed to a natural growth related change.
This example penis, while it does point off slightly to his right, sticks mostly straight up with no curvature to the right or the left.
( This theoretical section is repeated for every example penis. If you have read this theoretical section in another example, you can skip over this repetition of the theory and go straight to the observations about the example penis on this page. )
Why does the penis in this example look like this? Is it genetics? Was this man born with a penis that is mostly straight?
According to Happeh Theory, an explanation for the direction the penis points can be provided by The Double Cylinder View of the Human body. According to the Double Cylinder View of the Human body, the human body can be treated as two cylinders located as shown in the picture below.
For this explanation, it is necessary to use an overhead view of The Double Cylinder View of the human body, as shown below.
The picture above shows the two cylinders of The Double Cylinder View of the Human Body side by side. There is a red rectangle sticking straight out from the center of the two cylinders. The rectangle is meant to represent the penis.
According to Happeh Theory, the direction of the penis is determined by the condition of the double cylinders. When each cylinder is in it’s normal and proper orientation that it is designed to be in, the penis should stick straight out from the body like the rectangle in the picture above.
According to Happeh Theory, masturbation will cause one or both of the cylinders in the picture above to rotate. Because the direction of the penis is dependent on the orientation of each cylinder, if the orientation of one or both of the cylinders changes, the orientation or direction that the penis points must also change.
There are six possible rotations of the two cylinders. Both cylinders can rotate the same direction.
The right cylinder can rotate to the right or the left, while the left cylinder remains stationary.
Here is the picture of the example penis again.
This example penis represents a slight problem. Because the penis itself is mostly straight with no deviation to the right or the left, the indication would be that neither double cylinder of The Double Cylinder View of the Human Body had been changed by masturbation as shown below.
The slant of the entire mostly straight penis to his right though, would indicate that the right cylinder of The Double Cylinder View of the Human Body of this individual’s body has been reduced in size, and that the two cylinders within his body have changed in one of the ways shown below. | <urn:uuid:a071f13c-8293-4110-8844-e6edc4b976bd> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | http://www.themasterofbation.com/2013/11/the-straight-pointing-penis-03/ | 2021-10-18T07:13:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585199.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20211018062819-20211018092819-00071.warc.gz | en | 0.928175 | 623 | [

So last month I was lucky enough to meet Rachel Harris as part of the Mighty Mississippi Book Blast!
|Team MMBB-Texas with blogger Sara S!|
I love Rachel and her books a lot. See:
|My first blurb (as my pen name): for A TALE OF TWO CENTURIES :)|
I've already gotten to read her upcoming release THE FINE ART OF PRETENDING, and I loved that too! See:
What's it about? Well, it has a few similarities my own book, THE ART OF LAINEY (no wonder I loved it! Ha, just kidding...mostly :D), but they are definitely two totally different stories. Here's more about TFAOP:
According to the guys at Fairfield Academy, there are two types of girls: the kind you hook up with, and the kind you’re friends with. Seventeen-year-old Alyssa Reed is the second type. And she hates it. With just one year left to change her rank, she devises a plan to become the first type by homecoming, and she sets her sights on the perfect date—Justin Carter, Fairfield Academy’s biggest hottie and most notorious player.
With 57 days until the dance, Aly launches Operation Sex Appeal and sheds her tomboy image. The only thing left is for Justin actually to notice her. Enter best friend Brandon Taylor, the school’s second biggest hottie, and now Aly’s pretend boyfriend. With his help, elevating from “funny friend” to “tempting vixen” is only a matter of time.
But when everything goes according to plan, the inevitable “break up” leaves their friendship in shambles, and Aly and Brandon with feelings they can’t explain. And the fake couple discovers pretending can sometimes cost you the one thing you never expected to want.
Because Rachel is awesome, she has given me a signed ARC of THE FINE ART OF PRETENDING to give away to one lucky winner!
And because I love giveaways, I'm going to throw in some extra prizes, including a copy of my latest release, the e-novella INFINITE REPEAT. This is a prequel to THE ART OF LAINEY from book-boyfriend and punk rock baker Micah Foster's POV, and can be read before or after the full novel. I'm also going to throw in a mystery ARC that I won off twitter not too long ago, and a swag pack full of bookmarks, buttons and other fun stuff from the #MMBB authors. Two runners up will also win #MMBB swag packs.
|Actual swag received to include some of the pictured items plus more!|
This contest is going to involve a lot of mailing costs so I've got to go US only on it. Sorry international peeps. You know I love you :) I love you so much that I'll be doing an international secondary contest for YASH in October where you can win an ARC of my forthcoming twisty murder mystery, LIARS, INC. Did you like GONE GIRL, I HUNT KILLERS, OR DANGEROUS BOYS? If so, you'll probably like LIARS too :)
Who's ready to win? BOOSH! The Rafflecopter is your friend :)

Awakening the phoenix within you…Have you ever felt very different from the rest? You are, as a matter of fact, very different! Scorpio is a multidimensional sign. The only sign that has not only one or two, but three animal symbols. The Scorpion, the Eagle and the Phoenix.
The power of transformation Scorpio has is attributed to the Phoenix. The immortal being that rises from the ashes of its own funeral, only to come out stronger.
You will know you are at the Phoenix stage when you are going through an experience that is changing your life forever. When you’re feeling at your worst, you might hit bottom and start punishing yourself for ending up in a certain situation.
The truth is, Scorpios need that risk, that danger, that pain and intensity like the crash-and-burn Phoenix does in order to resurrect and be born all over again. After that, the Phoenix flies even higher! | <urn:uuid:1fdb4bb9-0cf0-4ea3-86d2-46e2cbe013de> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.horoscope.com/us/editorial/editorial-news.aspx?UniqueID=3387&CRC=946A767496678F5B36B8C03098B51FC0 | 2021-10-18T07:04:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585199.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20211018062819-20211018092819-00071.warc.gz | en | 0.955723 | 194 | [

Bezelless is here to stay, with the Note 8 being the latest catwalk star to push forward the one trend that will likely end all other design trends.
The Note 8 is an exquisite device, just like the Galaxy S8
and S8+ - With the tall, 2:1 stature of its 6.3-inch display, it towers above the phones of old times that had bezels aplenty.
But how does the Note 8 compare against the current and former competition on the market? Check out and compare at your heart's content right below!

Clean Boats, Clean Waters
With the growing concern over the spread of aquatic invasive species to Wisconsin’s inland lakes, many lake association members and other concerned citizens are looking for ways to get involved. The Clean Boats, Clean Waters watercraft inspection program is an opportunity to take a front line defense against the spread of aquatic invasive species.
Through the Clean Boats, Clean Waters program, inspectors are trained to organize and conduct a boater education program in their community. Adults and youth teams educate boaters on how and where invasive species are most likely to hitch a ride into waterbodies. Inspectors perform boat and trailer checks for invasive species, distribute informational brochures and collect and report any new water body infestations.

Green Thumb Industries Announces US $217 Million Senior Debt Financing
- Secures Additional Funding at Industry Leading Interest Rate of 7%
- Retires Existing Senior Secured Debt due May 2023
- Low-Cost Capital Strengthens Balance Sheet to Accelerate U.S. Expansion Strategy
CHICAGO and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 30, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Green Thumb Industries Inc. (“Green Thumb” or the “Company”) (CSE: GTII) (OTCQX: GTBIF), a leading national cannabis consumer packaged goods company and owner of Rise™ Dispensaries, today announced the Company has closed on a US $217 million senior non-brokered private placement financing through the issuance of senior secured notes (the “Notes”). The Company intends to use the proceeds to retire the Company’s existing US $105 million senior secured debt due May 2023 and for general working capital purposes as well as various growth initiatives.
“History has taught us that the winners in new industries are those with the lowest cost of capital and the strongest balance sheets,” said GTI Founder and CEO Ben Kovler.
Our successful non-brokered offering (gross=net) was supported by members of the management team in addition to a diverse group of new and existing high-quality, institutional investors who share in our strategic vision and plan to capitalize on the opportunities ahead.
Ben Kovler, GTI Founder and CEO
This financing represents industry-leading cost of capital in the legal cannabis industry and strengthens our balance sheet. This new capital will allow us to focus on shareholder value creation through strategic investments to scale our existing operations in addition to accretive M&A opportunities.
The Notes have a maturity date of April 30, 2024 and will bear interest from the date of issue at 7% per annum, payable quarterly, with an option, at the discretion of the Company, to extend an additional 12 months. The financing permits the Company to borrow an additional US $33 million over the next twelve months. The purchasers of the Notes also received an aggregate of 1,459,043 warrants (the “Warrants”). Each Warrant is exercisable to purchase one subordinate voting share of GTI at an exercise price of US $32.68 per share, for a period of 60 months from the date of issue.
Certain insiders participated in the financing, purchasing an aggregate of approximately US $3 million of Notes. Pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), such insider participation is a “related party transaction.” The Company is exempt from certain requirements of MI 61-101 in connection with the insider participation in reliance on sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the aggregate value of the insider participation does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company. Further details will be included in the Company’s material change report to be filed within the prescribed time. Such material change report was not filed more than 21 days prior to closing of the financing due to the timing of the announcement and closing occurring in less than 21 days.

Take some time to master the basics. Do not try to learn too much too quickly. You may want to learn your favorite song right out of the gate, but it is crucial to build your foundations first. Memorize the various finger positions. Don’t neglect the scales and the chords. Lock in the fundamentals before advancing.
Make sure you properly learn all the basic when you first start playing guitar. While you may be able to play one piece correctly, your skills are pretty limited if that is the only piece that you can play. Try finding a book or instructor to teach you guitar basics. Learning items like how to pick, strum, and hold a guitar properly can help you become a better player.
In order to find success on the guitar, it is important to start with simple songs in the beginning. While they may seem silly and immature, they will teach you the basics that you can build on later. If you try to tackle something too complicated, you are likely to become frustrated.
Be realistic with yourself. Progress can be slow, so don’t get ahead of yourself. Try not to set too many expectations. This could just discourage you and cause you to quit altogether. Take things slowly and get plenty of practice in. Just remember learning the basics can take a considerable amount of time.
Try and aim to learn one simple song per week. Practicing your scales can get old. Don’t obsess over learning the basics too much. Make sure you apply what you’ve learned to actual music. Learn how to play children’s rhymes or Christmas carols and work your way up from there.
Practice playing by ear. Once you have the basics down, try playing without any sheet music in front of you on occasion. Listen to a song you like and attempt to replicate it. Try playing along with the radio. Getting a good ear for music is an excellent skill to build.
As you begin to learn the basics of playing guitar, keep yourself surrounded by music, and great guitarists. The more you learn, the easier it will be to pick up techniques and ideas you hear in music you listen to. Watch other people play, and you will be surprised at what you can learn from others.
Now that you have read these tips, you can see how easy it is to learn the basics of playing guitar. Why not pick up a guitar today and see what you can do? Before long, you will be playing all of your favorite songs, or even composing your own music. | <urn:uuid:569721e4-1f7a-46dd-b18a-a110845f1f01> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://philguitarzone.com/tag/guitar-basics/ | 2021-10-21T04:21:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585381.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20211021040342-20211021070342-00231.warc.gz | en | 0.958154 | 518 | [

“Struggling with energy levels and sugar dependency, Michele’s expertise helped me work out a food plan that worked for me and my lifestyle. Michele gave me a realistic plan that was accessible and flexible to social activities & indulgence; she always welcomed feedback and honesty to allow for optimum guidance so I never felt in trouble if I went off track! I still use her eating plan every day, it has helped massively with my energy levels in the morning, instead of that sugar dive and reaching for a quick chocolate hit, Michele created a nutrition plan that keeps me alert throughout the morning and matches my natural sugar levels so I no longer have that craving. Through small nutrition steps Michele’s advice and expertise has really helped many areas of my life: including energy and mood. I would recommend her to anyone from specialist cases to those just wanting a boost!”.S.Giles | <urn:uuid:c8f57d7e-64d7-4733-a89d-a358774b6f9d> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://tnmclinic.com/michele-kingston/ | 2021-10-21T05:10:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585381.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20211021040342-20211021070342-00231.warc.gz | en | 0.944377 | 685 | [

Global Novelty Hair Color Market Overview
The Global novelty hair color market is principally is driven by a wide product portfolio and product innovation. Variation in terms of product formulation is a major factor propelling the sales of hair colors. The use of components such as conditioning agents or oils to overcome the harsh effect of chemicals, ammonia-free formulation, and packaging innovation are some other features of product line innovation. Additionally, manufacturers are providing hair color products, which have stain-free applications and are also concentrating on the introduction of hair chalks that will help consumers to develop their hair color more frequently. Moreover, changing lifestyles, rising urbanization, the rising penetration rate of salon and spa services, and the growing youth population in emerging economies are the other important factors driving the growth of the market.
One of the most advanced trends that will gain traction in the novelty hair color market in the following years is the growing demand for organic ingredients-based hair colors. Customers are now shifting towards the use of natural and herbal coloring agents for their hair since they are ammonia-free and are less toxic than synthetic colors. This demand, will, in turn, stimulate the manufacturers to introduce plant-extracted colors in their product portfolio. However, the stringent regulations by governments with regards to the chemicals used in the composition of novelty hair color are anticipated to limit the growth of the novelty hair color market. Nevertheless, the growing concerns of hair health and availability of several treatments for the hair are said to have a positive impact on the novelty hair color market.

In 2003, Voys and Spindle founder Mark Vletter worked in Haiti for roughly six months. Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world. After an 11-hour flight, you go from a country that has everything to a country that has nothing. In Haiti, he saw what a lack of access to information and communication does to a country and its people. Today, 48% of the world’s population still has no access to free communication. “This needs to change”, Mark says. “With 48percent.org we want to bring equality to the world by enabling that last 48% to have access to unrestricted communication.”
The plan to make this happen
“There were a number of basic essential conditions for us to be able to make this a reality: a strong income stream, being a communication authority, and a scalable self-reliant organization. Now that these conditions are met, we can get started on building the solution. We believe this solution consists of roughly three parts:
1. You need a data network. These can be balloons, low orbit satellite networks or drones that bring that data network to remote areas.
2. Then you need a base station there that translates the signal from these data networks into a local network.
3. Finally, you must have devices that use this local network.
That’s easy, right?
It sounds simple and achievable, but unfortunately, it is not. The big bottleneck is electricity. Approximately 15% of the world’s population has no access to electricity, and things like WiFi and 4G demand a lot from it. A new generation of networks and receivers needs to be built that are much more energy efficient. Only then can the 48 percent of the world that does not yet have access to free communication be brought online.
The need for a reliable network
But with electricity alone, you are not there yet. A reliable network also has to be set up. This network is preferably an open source and crowd owned network. Any node added to the network can then be both a receiver and a transmitter. This makes the network independent of commercial parties and even of government authorities. Developing this network circularly also keeps the impact this project has on the planet to a minimum.
The 48percent.org foundation
“In recent years we have developed the building blocks to be able to build the above framework”, Mark explains. “Now is the time to stack those blocks! We’re very excited for this to happen and we are setting up a foundation for this purpose: 48percent.org.”
The mantra of this foundation is:
“Bring equality to the world by enabling everybody to have access to unrestricted communication”
The first step is to promote the development of the components needed for open communication. We don’t have to do all of this ourselves, but we love to boost the process.
Generating power: the Lightyear One
The decentralized generation of power is a very important component to make it all possible. Looking at the latest technology, they already made a promising first purchase: they bought the Lightyear One. This solar car decentrally generates its own electricity and stores it in small batteries while giving an unmatched range for the capacity of these batteries. The team that developed the car has access to the networks that can make the solar and battery technology scalable and works purpose-driven.
Sounds like your adventure?
To help out with this new endeavor, Voys and Spindle are now searching high and low to find the torchbearer for the 48percent.org foundation. Is it your life’s desire to make sure everyone has an equal chance? Does reading this blog post already give you ideas on how to make this foundation a success? If the answers are yes, the foundation would love to have you on our team!

Chunk Candle Small (1 Candle) – Awesome Scent
It’s easy to point out that everyone most likely includes a few candles during their self-care rituals to ease stress and implement calming properties into the atmosphere. Scented candles are used during aromatherapy to help with anxiety and depression, improve quality of life and sleep, and are even said to ease some of the side effects of cancer treatments like nausea and pain.
When life feels too overwhelming and throwing your computer out the window is not an option, light a candle with notes of chamomile, bergamot, lavender, and frankincense, and pray to the gods above that your stress will go down so you can go about your day.
