What Do You Like About Working At Pushed?
Pushed is a studio that specialises in variety. No two weeks are ever the same and that really gives me as an animator the chance to play and grow. The team's expertise is so diverse that we can all learn from each other, and when a project calls for it those different skill sets can fuse as one. Those are the projects I enjoy the most!
What's Your Favourite Piece Of Work You've Produced?
The Unwind with ITV series has been a project driven by exciting concepts. We'd start with an abstract visual, for instance, what if falling leaves could fly like birds (shout out to Karen for the idea!) - then we'd discover how we could animate that in a beautiful, convincing way. The challenge of the concept has really pushed (no pun intended) me to broaden my skill set. There's always more to learn! | <urn:uuid:590cd680-8f6b-4723-bc13-0dac0d3511eb> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.pushed.co.uk/staff/craig-rothwell/ | 2023-11-28T19:35:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679099942.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20231128183116-20231128213116-00051.warc.gz | en | 0.968399 | 190 | [

Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS)8, a division of the American Chemical Society, collects publicly disclosed information on chemical substances (primarily from scientific literature) and organizes them into a database called CAS Registry. The CAS Registry can be searched using CAS products such as SciFinder9 and STN10. In this database, unique identifiers are assigned to each chemical substance, providing an unambiguous way to identify a chemical substance when there are many possible systematic, generic, proprietary or trivial names. These unique identifiers are referred to as CAS Registry Numbers11,12, CAS RNs, or CAS Numbers.
CAS Numbers are numeric identifiers that can contain up to ten digits, divided by hyphens into three parts: the first consisting from two up to seven digits, the second consisting of two digits, and the third consisting of a single digit. These numbers themselves have no inherent chemical meaning (e.g., information on chemical structure), but are assigned in sequential order to new substances found by CAS scientists for inclusion in the database.
While CAS Registry Numbers have been widely used, the CAS Registry is a proprietary resource that comes with a non-trivial fee. These days many databases provide their contents free of charge to the general public, and unique identifiers used in these databases are getting popular. Examples are PubChem CIDs (Compound IDs), ChemSpider IDs, and ChEMBL IDs. Details about these databases will be discussed in Module 6. | <urn:uuid:62ac5ef4-4a1f-427e-8d71-47ff00cebba1> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | http://olcc.ccce.divched.org/2015OLCCModule5P1TLO3 | 2023-11-29T22:20:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100146.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20231129204528-20231129234528-00851.warc.gz | en | 0.898068 | 295 | [

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has said that the likes of Callum Hudson-Odoi and Reece James have a big career ahead with the Blues. The young duo are currently in training after recovering from their respective injury setbacks and they are likely to make their first-team bow under Lampard before the end of the month.
Speaking in a press conference, Lampard said that both Hudson-Odoi and James need to achieve peak fitness before they are up for selection for the first-team. The Blues legend added that the duo are likely to make a big impact with the club going forward, he told: “Callum’s going to play along with Reece James, so they’ll get minutes which is important now because Callum has been training with us for a while but there are still some issues with the injury itself that we need to make sure he’s OK with. He’ll need to get match fit, so these games are really beneficial for him and Reece James similarly. I’m pleased with that. They’re two young players that are going to be big for this club going forward.”Continue reading “Lampard believes Chelsea duo will become ‘big players’ for the club” | <urn:uuid:918387d6-e1b7-4fcc-9c59-46c1389df610> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.didier-drogba.com/2019/10/ | 2023-11-29T22:55:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100146.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20231129204528-20231129234528-00851.warc.gz | en | 0.97918 | 260 | [

It seems strange to me these judges continue to say there is no evidence when there are 500 affidavits and a whistleblower from Dominion of fraudulent use of their machines.
In Pennsylvania the SC passed a resolution saying ballots may be received three days after the polls close. The SC does not have the power to make laws but only interpret laws according to the Constitution. Clearly the Pennsylvania SC decision is unconstitutional so the ballots should be thrown out. Giuliani estimates 350,000 ballots are affected.
Sworn affidavits say Democrats were able to correct ballots before the election but Republicans were not! This violates the unequal treatment law of elections, Bush/Gore.
The unconstitutional SC decision and unequal treatment in Pennsylvania are Trump’s best route for winning Pennsylvania.
Keep declaring election laws will be followed and all ballots thrown out which are unconstitutional!
Published on 28 Nov 2020
A federal appeals court in Philadelphia on Friday rejected President Donald Trump’s latest effort to challenge the election results in a case that could reach the U.S. Supreme Court if Trump appeals.

Learn how to reach out when clients put up "stay away" or "back off" signs-and get to the root of the pet's problem.
Ever had a client who wouldn't answer questions? With some pet owners, it's all the receptionist can do to confirm the client's and pet's names when they check in. When you ask what's wrong with the pet, the answer is a vague "he's sick." And that's all the information you're going to get. The receptionist hands off the case to the technician and wishes her good luck.
For the exam room technician, getting a history is more like a tug of war—and the technician is doing all of the tugging! The client may answer very specific questions, but he doesn't elaborate or provide any background. You walk out of the room wondering if he's one of those folks who wants to save all the details for the doctor.
However, the doctor's experience isn't any different. The client continues to respond with vague answers, shrugs, and "I don't know."
It's frustrating when a client doesn't respond, and it gives the veterinary team little help in solving the pet's problem. On a busy day, most doctors and team members will move on to the next, more talkative client fairly quickly. After all, it's tough to help a client who won't help you.
We often perceive withdrawn clients as not caring enough to help us with their pets. In other words, they appear apathetic. However, this closemouthed client may actually care too much. A quiet owner can appear to be a brick wall because he's too terrified to answer your questions. Yes—terrified. High anxiety is common in clients who are convinced you're going to give them bad news or find something seriously wrong with their pet. In many cases, these folks withhold information because they don't want to say anything that will lead to a scary diagnosis.
Occasionally, someone has given the brick-wall client a dollar amount to spend on the pet's visit. And if the animal's care exceeds that price, she's been told to euthanize her beloved pet. Wouldn't you be terrified, too?
Though the apathetic client also doesn't respond, in his case it's because he's not attached to the pet. Most apathetic clients are bringing the pet in for someone else—usually an ailing parent or other family member.
Besides being uncommunicative, brick-wall and apathetic clients share one other thing in common—they're both in your clinic with a pet that needs help. So, how do we tell the difference between these two personality types? The quickest way is to say, "Tell me about your pet ... " The brick-wall, with her high attachment to the animal, will share stories about the pet's antics. The apathetic client will say, "This isn't my pet."
When you've identified the brick-wall client, recognize that this anxious person wants reassurance you can work through the pet's problems together. A brick-wall needs team members to offer a calming influence. This creates a safe zone for the client. Highly concerned clients are receptive to statements, such as, "I can see how worried you are about your pet, and we're going to do everything we can to help." These anxious clients are also very tuned into body language, so it's important to appear friendly and relaxed, or they may hide behind their fence.
Determining the source of the brick-wall's fear is also key. Perhaps it's a money problem that can be resolved with a payment plan through your hospital or through a third party. When they're not scared, brick-walls are engaging clients and a lot of fun to work with.
You can also work with an apathetic client, but you'll need to adjust your approach. Since this isn't his pet, the apathetic client isn't directly affected by the pet's illness. However, apathetic clients are caring people, too—it's his relationship with the pet's owner that motivated him to take the pet to the clinic. Explain how the diagnostic or treatment plan will help the pet to feel better and make the pet's owner happier, too.
When a client brings his pet to the clinic, he's asking for your help. If you're struggling to communicate with a client, take time to determine his fears and motivations. Then you can provide him with the information he needs, and you will enjoy a much more satisfying experience.

We are often asked what the benefits of castings are over fabrication. These benefits are not just in relation to price but also quality. Here we explain in further detail why, if you are used to using fabricated parts, you may wish to consider castings.
As you know a casting is one single component as opposed to possibly several to make up a part of a fabrication. This means there is no risk of failure due to possible fabrication defects occurring.
The strength levels of a casting will also be superior to a fabricated part. Again, this is due to the welded joints within a fabricated component potentially being weaker.
Distortion is minimised in a casting as opposed to a fabrication so the repeatability of a product is superior. This basically means that you have a consistency in your parts that you wouldn’t otherwise get. In essence with a fabrication each product could potentially be different whereas with castings you will have a consistent level of quality.
With a casting you have a mould whereas alternatives may mean you have several parts requiring fabrication. Castings should be significantly cheaper than fabrication. The reasons for this are
- Casting requires a mould which if designed correctly will require minimal repair.
- Fabrication will require costs for consumables, fixtures and jigging to manufacture the fabrication
- Man power costs will be higher when fabricating.
If you are currently fabricating we would relish the chance to quote for you.

Chess Calculation Training, Volume 2: Endgames This book focuses on endgames. There are a lot of
things to learn “by heart” about them — but they are often difficult to apply at the board, unless you
get exactly the same position as you studied. This is why I believe it is an interesting approach to
present an endgames book as a series of exercises, with instructive but practical positions.
As in Volume 1, a lot of calculation will be required. The major difference between middlegame and
endgame training is, of course, the limited material on the board. This means the patterns you
discover in training are much more likely to appear in your games — so you should try to imprint
them somewhere in your memory!
Chess Calculation Training, Volume 2: Endgames With ordinary tactics, the purpose of exercises is
almost solely to improve your calculation skills. Solving the exercises of this book will help the reader
improve on his endgame knowledge and understanding as well. There is a lot to learn from studying
each solution, even if you failed to find it yourself; this is why answers here are even more detailed
than in Volume One. Nevertheless, the solutions are always concrete”.
The concept is unusual but effective. I tried it this way every evening for a week, doing 3 or 4 easy
puzzles before attempting some harder ones, and it worked beautifully. Edouard clearly invested a lot
of time in selecting the examples. All in all, an enjoyable book of exercises that put me in a good
mood for playing GM Matthew Sadler, New In Chess Magazine 05/2017 – 4 stars rated.
Edouard’s book is an advanced workbook for the ambitious improver.
Grandmaster Romain Edouard is a world class player and member of the French national team. He
has won many prestigious tournaments including the Al Ain Open 2012, Dubai Open 2014, World
Open 2015 and Montreal Open 2015. He was the second of ex-World Champion V.Topalov and now
more recent of the number 2 in the FIDE ranking, GM Maxime Vachier-Lagrave.

Shortcuts Tips: Saving Podcast Show Notes for Later
I listen to a lot of podcasts. Over the past few years, they’ve become my favorite medium for keeping up with current events and for general entertainment. One of the reasons I’m able to listen to so many shows is that podcasts, by their nature, can be enjoyed while doing other things. So I listen to podcasts while driving, cleaning, preparing meals, walking and running, and getting ready for the day. Really, most times that my hands are busy and I don’t need to concentrate too closely on the task at hand, I’ve got a podcast playing in my ears.
But it’s this aspect of podcasts that also makes it difficult to interact with shows that have rich show notes. My hands being involved with something else means that I can’t check out the links or photos referenced during a show. So I’ve built a shortcut that I can call via Siri to save them and remind me to review them later.
If you want to skip straight to the goody, here’s the ‘Save Show Notes’ shortcut.
“I’ll put it in notes.”
A brief aside about show notes — they’re great! I wish more hosts used them to share links to the articles, videos, products, or whatnot they talked about on their shows. It enhances the experience. I’ve discovered new favorite artists, followed hosts and guests on Twitter, and even purchased things from podcast sponsors because they were easy to get through links in the show notes. I always appreciate it when a host says that they’ll add something to the notes.
Why not in the app?
Before we get into building the shortcut, you may rightly ask, “Why not just look back at the notes in the podcast app later?” The answer is simple: my preferred podcast app, Overcast, removes completed podcasts from my listening queue and playlists. Since I typically listen to several shows in a row, it can be difficult to remember which shows had notes that I wanted to check out. I think it would be great to have a running history of shows that I’ve listened to, and I’ve suggested that feature to Marco Arment, the developer of Overcast.
Creating the shortcut
I wanted three core functions out of this shortcut:
- Make a hands-free solution to save the notes.
- Make sure I remembered that there was something I wanted to check.
- Archive a copy of the notes for future reference.
When Marco enhanced Overcast’s shortcuts support earlier this year, I knew I could easily achieve the first two functions just by creating a reminder with a link to the episode’s URL. But I wanted to get fancy. With just a little extra work, I was able to consistently format the show notes, save them to an archived draft with correct tags in Drafts, and create a to-do item in Things that also contains the full notes.1
Step 1: Get details about the currently playing episode in Overcast. We reference this Magic Variable several times throughout the shortcut.
Step 2: Take the show notes in HTML (which is how Overcast provides them) and convert them to rich text.
Step 3: Take the rich text and convert it to Markdown. This action only accepts rich text, which is why we need to do the double conversion.
Step 4: Format the note’s text using the podcast’s title and episode title, the body of the notes, and a link back to the episode in Overcast.
Now that we’ve created the text for the note, now we have to put it somewhere. In this case, we’re sending it to both Drafts and Things.
Step 5: Using the Create Draft action, we put the formatted text in the draft, apply the
show notes tag, and archive it.
The final four steps are a little convoluted because Things has different app instances for iPhone and iPad. Since the Shortcuts actions are tied to the app, we need to duplicate that action for each device.
Steps 6 and 7: To determine which device is running the shortcuts, we get the device’s details and then create an If statement which checks the device model against “iPad.”
Step 8: If the device model contains ‘iPad,’ it creates a to-do item in Things for iPad set for the current day, and with a link to the archived draft, and shows notes in Markdown again in the to-do description. Since the title of the draft contains both the podcast and episode title, we can reuse that aspect of the draft in the to-do’s title. Why duplicate the show notes within the to-do when they’re already archived in Drafts? Pure convenience. The URLs can be tapped from within Things, so there’s a little less bouncing around needed. The version in Drafts is for an archive if we want to go searching for something specific later.
Step 9: The to-do creation action is duplicated but using the one for Things on iPhone instead.2
A few tidbits
I call this shortcut equally often with Siri (“Hey Siri, save show notes”) as I do as an item in my Overcast Menu shortcut. I keep that menu available in the Today View, so it’s always available with a couple of swipes and a couple of taps — which is nice when I don’t want to or can’t talk to my device. I’ll write more about controlling Overcast from a shortcut in the future.
An unfortunate consequence of using three well-developed apps that are good platform citizens on all Apple’s devices is that this shortcut can be a little wonky when running from the Apple Watch. Overcast, Drafts, and Things all have independent watch apps, which don’t always play nicely with Shortcuts. I wish that when a shortcut doesn’t perform as expected on the watch that it would fall back to using the phone’s actions, but, alas, I’m not aware of a workaround. So when run using Siri on the Apple Watch, this shortcut can result in blank to-dos and drafts.
You may be able to recreate this shortcut for Apple Podcasts if that’s the client you prefer. I gave it a whirl, but the lack of a ‘Get Current Episode’ action makes getting details about the playing episode challenging. I’m also unsure that the description returned from the Get Details of Episode action will contain the full show notes.
I also tried to create a version of this shortcut that saves show notes as rich text in Apple Notes for a prettier archive. Sadly, Apple Notes doesn’t play nicely when accepting rich text from Shortcuts. For some reason, the rich links get stripped of their richness. On the bright side, raw URLs work great in Apple Notes, so saving the Markdown there would work just as well as in Drafts. However, I prefer Drafts because the show notes are a little more ephemeral, in my opinion, and because Drafts has far more powerful actions in Shortcuts.
I love this shortcut because it showcases how with just a few actions, we can pass data around between multiple apps and end up with something useful. I’d love to see more apps get on board with shortcut actions that get data out of their apps, as well as putting data into them. I use this shortcut multiple times each week, and it makes me smile each time because I created a solution for my own problem. This kind of user-driven problem-solving is why I like Shortcuts so much.
A bonus shortcut
Sometimes I am using my device while listening to a podcast and want to check a link that the hosts discuss. For those occasions, I’ll select the Select Link from Show Notes shortcut from my Overcast Menu. With just four actions, it grabs all the links out of the show notes HTML, presents them as a list and displays the selected webpage in a Safari View Controller.3 It’s super-fast and is more straightforward than swiping around to get into Overcast’s show notes screen and scrolling to find the correct link.
While designed for Drafts and Things, it could be adapted to your preferred notes app or task manager. ↩︎
I’d like to see Things clean this up and bring their apps under the same instance across all Apple’s platforms. It makes it tricky to create shortcuts that address Things because you have to remember to differentiate them, and the action must be added on that device. So you need to edit the shortcuts on both devices for it to work correctly. This will only get worse when Shortcuts arrives on Mac later this year. ↩︎
I like using the Show Web Page action because then it doesn’t clutter up my Safari tabs. ↩︎ | <urn:uuid:f85c668b-9be2-431f-864c-30fdff595c00> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://heydingus.net/blog/2021/7/shortcuts-tips-saving-podcast-show-notes-for-later/ | 2023-11-28T23:50:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100016.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20231128214805-20231129004805-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.936517 | 1,891 | [

1. Where are you from and how long have you lived in town? What brought you to the area?
I am originally from Vancouver, Canada, but I moved to Glencoe with my husband and two kids from Toronto, Canada in 2012. My husband took a job at US Foods in Rosemont.
2. Do you have child(ren)? Age(s)
We have two great kids! Matthew is almost 18 and is heading to college in the Fall. And our daughter, Brooke is 15 and is just finishing her freshman year at New Trier HS.
3. What are your favorite things to do in the area with and without your kids? Family friendly restaurant? Date night?
My favorite things to do in the North Shore is SHOP! I love all of the little independent stores around all of the north shore. From Winnetka to Lake Forest, to Libertyville!
I started teaching Barre and Cycle classes at The Dailey Method in Lake Forest about two years ago now. I was completely drawn in by the amazing community of instructors and clients. The owner, Rebecca, makes everyone feel welcome and included! It’s really a great place to work, and since she opened a second location in Vernon Hills our community has grown so much! I had rarely been to Vernon Hills or Libertyville before I started working there and now I go all the time! My family loves the Libertyville shopping area and amazing restaurants. So much FOMO living in Glencoe!
5. How has this community been instrumental in getting you to where you are now?
The North Shore and, particularly The Lake Forest and Vernon Hills Dailey Method communities, have been instrumental in my development as a barre and cycle instructor. The clients and staff are so supportive and really want you to succeed. They want to lift you up! I can’t say enough positive things about the people there.
6. What is one thing people would be surprised to know about you?
People may, or may not, be surprised to know that I toured with a musical theatre group through my college years! I don’t do much singing anymore, but I definitely call on that “entertainer” side of me a little when I’m on the mic teaching a class!
7. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve gotten from another Mom?
The best piece of advice that I’ve gotten from another mom is “Get out of your own way.” It was that mom who encouraged me to start teaching and not let any self-doubt prevent me from moving forward. I’m very grateful to her for that!
8. What are your favorite places to travel near and far and why?
Our favorite place to travel in the Winter is without a doubt, Maui. Our family loves it there, and who could complain! It’s a little piece of paradise! Our favorite place to travel in the summer is a beautiful lake area North of Toronto, Canada. We head up to Lake Muskoka to relax on the water, go kayaking, boating, sea-doo-ing, and just chill with friends and family. Great memories are always made on the lake!
9. Tell me about your podcasts!
As for podcasts, honestly, I don’t listen to a lot of podcasts, but I do enjoy the “Audrey, Off the Cuff” series… Yes, Audrey is a client and I would like to consider her a friend, but I love how she connects us all somehow and always has some constructive guidance on how to meander through our lives. I also enjoy Esther Perel’s podcast from time to time.
10. What are your favorite book/s? I love receiving fiction and non-fiction recommendations!
My favorite books… well, I’m pretty bad a reading books! I don’t make time during my day to sit and read, and whenever I’ve tried to before bed I generally fall asleep two pages in! I’m currently referencing a couple of different Exercise Science books, but mostly because I find it interesting…not much of a story though!

Hadoop MapReduce is not showing CPU time. It has a problem called Speculative execution. This means that several maps and reduces are running on the same slave simultaneously. This causes overlap in computation and I/O. The slaves then tell the master when they have empty task slots and the scheduler assigns them to the slaves.
Speculative execution in MapReduce
Speculative execution is a technique used in MapReduce in Hadoop to deal with poor performance on individual machines. A large cluster may have some machines that are not performing well, causing the overall system performance to suffer. This technique allows MapReduce tasks to be run multiple times on the same machine.
You might be wondering why your Hadoop MapReduce CPU time is not showing the time that you’re spending on speculation. The reason is that the MapReduce algorithm divides a job into n separate tasks and routes them in parallel. Occasionally, one task will slow down and a new task may be launched. This can happen for several reasons, and Hadoop will take action to speed things up by launching a copy of the task on another node. This process is known as speculative execution.
When you run a map-reduce job, you may notice that your CPU usage does not reflect your progress. This is caused by the fact that Hadoop runs several maps and reduces at the same time, and the computation and I/O is often overlapped. The scheduler assigns tasks to each slave according to its task-slot availability.
If your R2 Hadoop MapReduce cpu time is not showing, the problem could be due to a map task. The map task may be crashing deterministically on some inputs. This can be caused by bugs in the map function or in a third party library. In such cases, you should increase the number of reduces to increase load balancing and decrease the cost of failure. The optimum number of reduces is between 0.95 and 1.75. These numbers are lower than the whole number because the scale factor reserves slots for failed or speculative tasks.
RDMA over Mellanox ConnectX-3 adapters
OneFS 9.2 introduces Remote Direct Memory Access support to improve throughput and reduce client and cluster CPU usage. It is available for PowerScale servers equipped with Mellanox ConnectX network adapters and 25, 40, or 100 Gig Ethernet connectivity. You can determine which network adapters are in your cluster by issuing the ‘isi network interfaces list’ command.
Hive mapreduce cpu time not showing
If you’re running Hive and your mapreduce jobs are taking a long time to finish, you might be wondering why the CPU time is not showing up. Hive has a few different components that you can check to see which one is taking a long time. First, you should check the’map phase’, which consists of record reader, combiner, partitioner, and reduce. This time is actually the total time of both the map phase and the reduce phase, so it will be the sum of the time of all the nodes in your cluster. | <urn:uuid:fbd56571-587c-4a92-9b3c-b8bddad791a8> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://techviral.tech/why-is-hadoop-mapreduce-cpu-time-not-showing/ | 2023-11-28T22:08:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100016.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20231128214805-20231129004805-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.94292 | 643 | [

MANILA, Philippines — The World Health Organization (WHO) is not advocating the use of anti-parasitic drug Ivermectin for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19, its country representative told House lawmakers on Tuesday.
According to WHO Representative to the Philippines Rabindra Abeyasinghe, prescribing Ivermectin without statistically significant evidence of its efficacy against COVID-19 is “harmful” since it would give “false confidence” to the public.
This comes as several lawmakers, during a House health committee hearing on Tuesday, pushed for the use of the medicine for COVID-19 treatment and prevention.
“The issue with the Ivermectin is that based on initial study and the currently available data, it is not strong enough for us to advocate the use of Ivermectin for treatment of COVID or prevention of COVID,” Abeyasinghe said.
“We looked closely at the European Medical Association, they concluded the same thing, we looked at the U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration), they concluded the same thing…What they are recommending is that we look at carefully-planned, controlled clinical trials to have proof that Ivermectin works,” he added.
“That is the global evidence that we have, not only from WHO, but also from very stringent regulation authorities and medicines authority both in Europe and in North America,” he further said.
The House committee, chaired by Quezon Rep. Angelina Helen Tan is probing, among others, the regulation of the anti-parasitic drug. The Philippines’ FDA and the Department of Health (DOH) earlier cautioned against its use to treat COVID-19.
FDA said the animal drug had not been approved by the agency for the treatment of viral infections in humans. But it also said those who want to take the drug may apply for a compassionate special permit to do so.
“Without proof, what we are actually creating is a false confidence that if they take Ivermectin, they are going to be protected and that could actually be harmful. That is why it requires a carefully-planned clinical study to understand whether this has a protective efficacy,” Abeyasinghe went on.
“That evidence is currently not available globally,” he added.
The WHO official noted that an initial report, which originated from a study in Australia, was made on Ivermectin’s efficacy to suppress the development of the virus that causes COVID-19.
“They use the concentration of Ivermectin that is a magnitude higher, meaning almost 1,000 times higher than what is normally used in humans,” he said.
“And at this concentration in the laboratory, it showed that Ivermectin can suppress the virus replication now it had very small scale studies following this initial,” he added.
But in countries where Ivermectin is recommended for human consumption, Abeyasinghe said “the results of the Ivermectin trial were statistically not significant.”
“If you are looking at the total number of COVID patients in the world today, many people have not yet been infected, so we could assume that people who drink water are protected from COVID, we could assume that people who took ivermectin are protected, but that’s not evident,” he said.
“It needs to be statistically significant. We had a similar situation with hydroxychloroquine, a few months ago, and then after the solidarity trial, none of them had any efficacy in reducing the severity or in protecting COVID-19 infection,” he added.
Nevertheless, Abeyasinghe said there is still “room to look for evidence” to prove whether or not Ivermectin is effective for COVID-19 treatment and prevention.
“We have to be very careful that if we’d want to go and do a clinical trial, it needs to be registered as a clinical trial, it needs to be designed so that it has adequate statistical significant power to generate the evidence if it is effective,” he said.
“If we can do that, our position there is still room to look for that evidence and if we can see that evidence then we will be in a better position to decide on Ivermectin,” he added.

In this article (and the video above), I’m going to teach you how to create one of the most profitable types of content that affiliate marketers can make: "alternatives to" post or video.
I’m going to show you how to do the keyword research to make sure that you cover the right terms and then how to compose the content so that they convert.
Ready?Let’s get into it.
What Is "Alternative to" Content?
So what are "alternatives to" posts and why do they work so well?
They’re very straightforward. They're articles or videos that share alternatives to popular tools, products, or services.
The formula usually looks like this...
We’ll talk more about crafting that headline later.
This post makes sales in two different ways.
#1 You sell the product that you’re showing the alternatives for because the alternatives aren’t as good.
#2 You sell the alternatives because people have already tried the first one, and they were disenchanted by it, or it was out of their price range.
There’s a bunch of different reasons why they want an alternative, but anyone that’s looking for an alternative is in what we call the buyer intent phase.
This means that these people are very likely to purchase something.
So you might not get thousands of views to this post or video, but you can drive a ton of sales because the buyer intent is very strong.
You can have a hundred visits per month and still find yourself making 3 to 5 sales for whatever product it is.
You could even make the argument that these convert better than review posts because review posts don't always attract people that have purchased or are even going to purchase. They might just be window shopping.
However, an alternative to post is found by people who are already serious enough to have likely already purchased the first product.
Many people come to alternatives after the first one didn’t meet their expectations. So we’re selling to people who are usually more serious.
They’re not just window shoppers. They’re ready to buy.
So these few visits that you’re gonna get from these posts are going to drive way more sales.
Note: For the rest of this post, I'll be focusing on blog posts and referring to the content as "posts" or "articles." The principles apply to video content as well.
Before you write an alternative to post (or any post for that matter), you need to perform some keyword research.
I use AHREFs, but you can use whatever tool you're comfortable with.
Start your research by searching for the terms matching "alternative to + (the product)."
Also, you can do product plus alternative. Those are going to be semantic terms.
Here, we see traffic potential 3,300 55 on the keyword difficulty scale. That means that this one’s kind of difficult, though that will be relative to the size of your domain.
What we’re also seeing here is that this is getting a ton of traffic. I can see the top article is called "nine best alternatives to MailChimp."
It has 5,100 organic visits and then the traffic value is $55,800 per month, which is insane!
"Alternative to" Examples
So it just shows you how valuable it is to rank for these types of terms. It means that people are buying.
Example 1: "MailChimp Alternatives"
For the first example, I want to do one about alternatives to MailChimp the goal being to sell convert kit in the list or a Weber or active campaign. So let’s go ahead and type in MailChimp Alternatives.
And the reason why that works is because MailChimp is one of the biggest names in the email marketing space. So, if people are looking for alternatives, it’s very likely that MailChimp is going to be the one that they start with.
Okay. So the next thing I would do is type in MailChimp alternatives and see what comes up first, and then I would go through the article and see what they’re doing here.
They do a quick little summary of the best ones, and they just give a one line reason why. They're really trying to get those terms in there by comparing it to as many big name products as possible.
(They want to rank for MailChimp versus HubSpot MailChimp versus Moosend, et. so they’re making those H2s.
This is also a very long post, which is why they’re ranking so high because they did a very good job of making it incredibly detailed.
If you’re going to make a post like this, go all in on detail, and make it as valuable and information rich as possible.
Don’t go skimping on this because this is not easy to rank for. If you can rank for it, you’re just printing cash.
Okay. So the next thing that I would do if I was going to write this one is come up to Surfer SEO. I would come into the content editor and type in keywords related to "MailChimp alternative."
You don’t need surfer, but I highly recommend it. It is one of the best tools for creating SEO rich content.
In the content editor, it is going to show us exactly what we should try to do with our article to make it rank for the keywords we entered.
It’s going to show us the minimum word, Image, headline, and paragraph counts.
This post is one heck of a doozy, saying we need somewhere around 4,700 - 5,400 words, 21 - 50 images, and at least 145 paragraphs!
This is going to be a hard one to write, but we would use surfer to compose it. From there, I would take the article I have created in Surfer and put it into WordPress to add the finishing details.
What you also cannot see in this image is the most important aspect: Clusters.
These are keyword-heavy phrases and terms that will boost your SEO. The better the post's SEO becomes, the higher that gauge will move. I always try to get my posts to a score at least 80-90
Interested in getting set up with SurferSEO? Click on the link below to get started!
Example 2: "AirPods Pro Alternatives"
I think we need to go through some more examples. So here’s one that is ranking for best air pod pro alternatives. The post is just brilliantly done.
They've hit everything you need in a great post:
- Star Count
- Links to full reviews
- Buy Links To Affiliates (Why it's so profitable)
Yours don’t need to be this awesome looking, but this is about as good as it gets. So let me show you first how they break it down, not just into this is the best one, or here are 10 other options.
They break them down even further, to minute detail like
- best all around
- best workout
- best features
- best design
- best value.
They’re getting all different types of potential buyers here, from all walks of life and lifestyles. They also have "buy links" with a verified price, which is going to be where their affiliate links come into play.
Whatever theme they’re using for WordPress is beautiful; I love it!
So down here, they said, read the full review. So now they’re getting a lot of traffic from that post as well.
You won’t always make the sale directly from the alternatives to posts, but if you’re sending people to other pieces of content, that’s going to help you make the sale.
Look at the table of contents. They have them broken down again, like I said,
They sort the article according to buyer intent, making sure each H2 has purpose and helps direct the reader to their respective purchase.
(Excercise, Android, Comfort, etc.)
One thing that they do add that I’ve noticed on most alternative to posts is an FAQ. Having FAQ schema in your blog post is going to help you show up in the questions asked area.
Doing that, you’re going to have a better chance of getting more traffic and also getting up to the top of that ranking.
This is one of those blogs you read and remember that profitable blogging is both an art and a science.
Example 3: "Fiverr Alternatives"
Let’s say that you’re promoting some sort of marketplace similar to Fiverr. Let's say that it’s a marketplace where people sell different services, and you know that the service space is dominated by Fiverr.
So this one right here is a great example,
"8 Best Fiverr Alternatives for Businesses and Freelancers"
One thing that you’ll notice is that every company that does inbound marketing does content marketing to grow their business. That means that they will try to always rank for alternative to their competitors.
Most of the "alternative to" posts will be from competitors of the product versus actual affiliates.
You just need to beat the competition. Always go through and see what is already ranking for alternative to whatever your post is.
The next thing I want to do is go through choosing the headline for your post title. At the beginning of this post I explained how the formula in alternatives is to compare it to other popular products in the space.
And then I mentioned some add-ons that can make the headline a little bit more appealing. The best way to come up with your own headline is to review the best headlines that are already ranking for the alternative to your product.
We can go through those and see what’s working and look particularly at articles with low domain authority that are over-performing to see if maybe that headline has something to do with it. So to show you what I’m talking about, let’s jump into Ahrefs, and we can analyze some of the headline.
So let’s keep going with that five or alternatives example. So let’s just type in alternatives to Fiverr and the keyword Explorer.
Note: If you don’t have Ahrefs, you can just do this in Google and check out all of the top 10 to top 20 articles that are showing up in the search engine. Those are going to be the ones that we really want to check out.
So inside of Ahrefs, if you scroll down to the bottom, they’re going to actually show links to the top 10 posts so we can see all of those different headlines.
What I recommend is going through each of them and getting an idea of what’s working and what’s not and all the different keywords that are being used.
One thing to keep in mind is I usually err on the side of "more is more" when it comes to lists of items.
So even though "8 best alternatives" is the one that’s at the top, I would still try to beat the one that is "15 websites better than Fiverr."
It’s not a perfect formula, but if you’re going to do alternatives, share all of the alternatives. Don’t make up fake ones. Don't force list items that shouldn't be there.
Next, I want to look at what terms people are using. The number one option is eight best Fiverr alternatives for businesses and freelancers. That one does a couple of things.
Number one, it uses the word "best" and "alternatives", and makes sure they are right there in the headline. We have to decide are we going to do "Fiverr alternatives" or "Alternatives to Fiverr"?
"Alternatives to..." is usually best.
I would also add the current year to the end of the title since that shows people that this information is up to date, especially if they see one that’s from 2020 or 2019.
So what I would do next, now that I’ve reviewed all the headlines is I would open up this tool that I use called headline studio.
You don’t need this. It’s a premium tool that I use, and it really makes it easier for me to craft headlines that are going to perform well.
So, let’s say that my post is gonna be called "10 best Fiverr alternatives You Need to Know About in 2022"
Then I click "analyze".
That’s actually a really good headline, since 89 is super high. Headline studio will give me a grade from 0-100 and tell me what does and doesn't work in my headline.

How to Offer Free Alternatives
One last thing that I want to touch on is the "Free Alternative to..." post. This kind of post is great for traffic, but it’s not good for conversions or monetization. The reason being is that it’s people that want something for free. If you just want to drive traffic and build awareness to other tools, you can absolutely do that.
There’s nothing wrong with doing those. It can garner Goodwill and also build awareness to other products. Just keep in mind, you’re not going to see those same conversion rates and massive amounts of sales that are going to.
I recommend usually doing "free and paid." That way, if you want to highlight free alter, you can do that. I would just make sure you also include paid ones or promoted tools. It’s okay to just do free alternatives.
Of course, you don’t have to be selling all the time. Those types of posts will get a lot of traffic, but it’s just something to keep in mind.
So let’s go ahead and put a bow on this and summarize all of the key points of writing good "alternative to" posts.
Follow those tips and you'll master "Alternative To" posts in no time!
If you like this content, please consider subscribing to my YouTube Channel "Evergreen Affiliate Marketing.
I also wrote a book with the same name as my YouTube Channel "Evergreen Affiliate marketing." It is chock-full of great lessons like the one I just shared with you.
Bonus Tip: Use alternativeto.net
For those of you who stuck around, check out a website called alternative to.net, if you’re doing software alternative to posts. So with that MailChimp example, I would just type in MailChimp and they have 295 alternatives.
Obviously, your post doesn’t need to have 295 alternatives, but you should target the top 10-20, whatever you think is ideal. This website is going to give you a good idea of what the alternatives are, and it’s also going to give you good insights on what they do differently.
It also shows awesome insights from actual users that compare them. | <urn:uuid:bdf2ca65-e8e4-4a2d-adf0-bfae87552da1> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://entreresource.com/create-alternative-to-content/ | 2023-12-01T06:09:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100276.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20231201053039-20231201083039-00851.warc.gz | en | 0.955926 | 3,203 | [

OMNIBUS NEWS RELEASE
LAWMAKERS PRESENT SOLUTIONS TO POOR TELECOMS SERVICES
· Rep. Natasha Co wants old NTC laws abolished and replaced
· Rep. Tutor suggests transparent, standardized LGU rates on common towers
· Rep. Siao bats for updated telecoms professions standards
"My suspicion is, telecoms and broadcast firms are able to game the system because the system is so old and obsolete," said Rep. Natasha Co of the minority bloc and BHW Party-list.
Congresswoman Co said, “(f)or stronger enforcement of standards and regulations in telecommunications, we need a new Comprehensive Telecommunications and Cyberspace Policy Act to replace the old laws that government the telecoms sector. These old laws the NTC is implementing are from the 1930s to the 1990s. We are already in the Year 2020."
"We need a Comprehensive Telecommunications and Cyberspace Policy Act which will work well decades into the future and is benchmarked with the policies and regulations prevailing internationally," she also said.
"The best engineers, lawyers, industry experts, and forward-looking civil servants should be mobilized to draft the Comprehensive Telecommunications and Cyberspace Policy Act we need," she suggested.
For her part, Rep. Alexie Tutor of Bohol (3rd District) has urged anew government agencies to recommend to President Rodrigo Duterte the issuance of an executive order on a standardized schedule of reasonable administrative and other regulatory fees to be paid to LGU hosts of the common towers.
Tutor said the standardized schedule of rates of fees "factor in current and future estimates of usage for telecom and internet purposes."
The congresswoman expressed her suggestion in House Resolution No. 946 addressed to the Department of Information and Communications Technology, Department of Trade and Industry, Anti-Red Tape Authority, and Department of Interior and Local Government.
Mindanaoan congressman Frederick Siao of Iligan City said, as chairman of the House committee on civil service and professional regulation, "(t)he National Telecommunications Commission being a part of the civil service, I believe, needs an updating and refocusing of its charter and related laws so it can regulate the telecommunications sector better."
"Although this is a matter with primary jurisdiction to the Committee on Government Reorganization, the NTC is made up of civil servants, engineers and technicians, all of whom are in the jurisdiction of the Committee on Civil Service and Professional Regulation," the committee chairman said.
"In particular, we need to have institutionalized and transparent systems to weed out graft and corruption, to uphold professional credibility, and to foster industry integrity standards and benchmarks," Siao said.

Football is back! Many of us may have been concerned that this season wouldn’t happen, but with the first game in the books, it looks like the regular season is taking off. The Jets bookended last season with games against the Bills, resulting in a 1-1 split. This was a bit misleading, however, as the Jets collapsed in week 1 against the Bills before narrowly edging out their backups in week 17. Nevertheless, I see no reason to skip going bold this year. In fact, we’re going bold!
Disclaimer: Bold Predictions are not realistic expectations for the game, but rather something that is unlikely to happen, yet possible. These predictions are pro-Jets, yet stretch the boundaries of probability. Claiming that the Jets score 20 points is not a Bold Prediction, nor is claiming that the Jets score 700 points. These predictions must be within the bounds of possibility, but also highly improbable. As always, the final score prediction remains a realistic guess at the result of the game and does not relate to the Bold Predictions.
Here are my five bold predictions for today’s game:
- Jamison Crowder and Chris Herndon both go for over 75 yards and a touchdown.
- The Jets record 6 sacks.
- Le’Veon Bell finally gets his first 100 yard game as a Jet.
- The Bills are held to under 200 yards of total offense.
- Josh Allen posts a sub-50 passer rating.
Final Score: Jets 10, Bills 17 | <urn:uuid:9fbb51cc-d511-4a12-b334-d5a25840febc> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.ganggreennation.com/2020/9/12/21433500/jets-vs-bills-five-bold-predictions | 2023-12-03T17:21:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100508.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20231203161435-20231203191435-00651.warc.gz | en | 0.961117 | 315 | [

Remembering my Poppy.
Last Saturday, October 15, my Poppy went home to be with the Lord. Fortunately, I was able to see him and speak to him before he passed. I was also asked to share something at the funeral proceedings.
When I was first asked to speak at my grandfather’s funeral, a million thoughts immediately flurried in my head. I didn’t really know what to say. How do you put thousands of memories into coherent words? The overwhelming and overarching reality that my grandfather — we called him Poppy — was gone is something I’m still getting used to. Now I was having to provide a little perspective to his passing as we reflect on the way he lived.
At first I thought of all the things I will miss. Like how I never got that book . . . For years we suggested that Poppy write or dictate his memories because the man had stories. Boy, did he ever have some stories. You’d get a glimpse of these tales whenever he preached. During his later years, his sermons turned into more or less narratives of his past experiences. Yet at the same time, those stories turned out to be some of the greatest sermon illustrations of all time, they themselves being perfect encapsulations of a God of all wisdom, grace, mercy, love, and truth. Still, I’ll never get to read of all his adventures and exploits as a young boy in North Carolina, of which, I’m sure, many would rival Tom Sawyer’s.
I’ll also miss seeing him look into the eyes of his newest great granddaughter for the first time. With mine and Natalie’s firstborn on the way, Poppy was sincerely thrilled about meeting Lydia Ann — and even as was lying in the hospital room, Lydia was on his mind. I saw how he looked at his grandchildren and great grandchildren, and in that look is the same look he’d give Lydia: a look of incomparable love and delight. I’ve never seen a man so joyful as Poppy was when he saw and held one of his great grandchildren. And even as he was in his last days, nobody saw quite the same animated reaction as when one of them walked in the hospital room and forgot to use their “inside voice.”
But most of all, beyond the things I’ll miss, I think of the man he was. My Poppy was a quietly, fervently faithful man, perhaps the most faithful man of God I’ve ever known. I’ll never forget his last words to me, the last words I was able to understand. I stood by his bed and he was squeezing my hand, and he told me, “Stay right.” That was my Poppy. Faithful to the end, deeply committed to God’s Word, and utterly convinced of his place in the larger mission of God’s Kingdom.
So often, young 20-to-30-something’s — like myself — get enslaved to the idea of “changing the world” and being a “planet shaker.” And while this is usually curtailed with an emphasis on the Great Commission, the underlying motive is undoubtedly acclaim and attention. It’s sad but many have used the mission of the gospel to fuel their own lust for notoriety. But this was not my Poppy.
He didn’t want attention. He didn’t want acclaim. He didn’t want accolades. Even he though he sincerely deserved all those things. I could’ve rattled off example after example and story after story of Poppy’s unshakable faith. I could’ve recounted the hundreds of ministries he helped, churches he shepherded, or people he impacted. But he wouldn’t have wanted us to celebrate those things. The only thing he would have wanted is for us to celebrate the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, for whom he lived. And though we mourned the loss of his presence, he gained far more than we lost, as he is now in glory in the presence of God.
Of the many things my Poppy was known for was his famous saying, “Oh me.” These two words were used in a myriad of ways. Like after one of my brother’s jokes, he’d chuckle and say, “Oh me.” Or after one of the grandchildren does something unexpected, he’d smile and say, “Oh me.” Or after he turned the channel from the national news, he’d grimace and say, “Oh me.” And I have no doubt that when he woke up in glory, and stepped on that heavenly shore, and breathed that celestial air, and was greeted with Christ’s words, “Well done thou good and faithful servant,” that he simply replied, “Oh me.” | <urn:uuid:7b789d3a-8baf-401b-94cd-2594e009d92b> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.graceupongrace.net/p/remembering-my-poppy | 2023-12-04T23:31:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100535.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20231204214708-20231205004708-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.987512 | 1,043 | [

Inquiries to Ask When Dating a Latina
If you’re enthusiastic about dating a Latina, you should consider asking her about her past, her family, and her dreams. These kinds of questions will not only build relationship with her, but will also help you know even more about her. You may find that she shares similar interests as you do, or else you might find out that she actually is the opposite of all things you thought.

As the temperature drops, people often forget about staying hydrated. This is especially true for those who spend most of their time indoors during winter. Unfortunately, dehydration doesn’t take a break in the cold months and can still be a problem if you don't make sure you’re drinking enough water for good health. Ignoring your body's need for hydration can lead to more serious consequences, so it’s important to prevent dehydration before it starts.
Staying hydrated is crucial to staying healthy in summer, but it's even more important during the winter. When the temperature drops, it’s often more difficult to feel thirsty than it is in the summer. However, it’s just as important to drink plenty of water during this time, because your body can suffer without it. So, here are some of the main reasons why drinking water in the winter is essential to maintain good physical and mental health.
The colder it gets, the more layers we put on and the more regularly the heating goes on. But while the super warm environment and dry air we create for ourselves might feel nice, it can dehydrate you quicker than you think. Dehydration in winter months is less noticeable than in summer, but your body still needs to remain properly hydrated to help it deliver vital nutrients and oxygen around your body.
Indoor dry heat and outdoor cold air can play havoc with your skin, causing it to become dull, dry out, and chap or peel. Water has plenty of benefits for your skin, and it’s essential to keeping skin cells full of moisture to stop thisfrom happening. Though you might not feel thirsty, drinking water regularly is the ideal way to keep blemish-free skin in the winter.
Even if you have a pretty good, healthy exercise regime during the summer months, the temptation to do less during the colder (and usually wetter months) is strong. And while understandable, the lack of exercise – and water keeping you hydrated – can lead to you feeling tired and lethargic. Drinking more water regularly can help keep you more alert and energetic throughout the day.
No one likes getting winter bugs or colds, so keeping your immune system healthy and robust all year round is crucial. But winter dehydration can quickly affect that, weakening your immune system and drying out vital lung and sinus membranes at an already challenging time. You can strengthen your system just by staying hydrated.
Drinking more water in winter will help you with all the benefits listed here and is a great way to stay healthy and hydrated – and boost your overall health – to help you survive the season. So if you're looking for an easy way to improve your winter wellbeing, start drinking more water!
And installing a Thirsty Work mains fed water cooler or bottled water cooler in the office or at home can be the best way to help you maintain your water intake. Giving you as much pure-filtered, healthy water as you need, whenever you need it. You can add some fresh fruit flavour to make it even more enjoyable.
To start increasing your water intake this winter, call the Thirsty Work team today on 01392 877 172 or email us at [email protected]. We’ll give you a free quote and even arrange your no-obligation, free 10-day trial so you can take advantage of the winter benefits straightaway! | <urn:uuid:8b84171a-85cf-41bd-8bd7-d9853da5ee35> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.thirstywork.com/articles/dehydration-in-winter-why-its-important-to-keep | 2023-12-09T21:10:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100972.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20231209202131-20231209232131-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.953595 | 709 | [

"Author K. A. Bachus has given readers a fabulous addition to
the Charlemagne files and I loved every moment of the ride. This is
espionage and a true thriller at its best. The plot is riveting and
packed full of action on every single page. The story is extremely
well-developed and the pace is perfect - there are no points where
things slow down to the point of wanting to skip a page - I was
glued to the story throughout. It is full of many twists and turns
that will keep every reader on the edge of their seat as they wait
to see what happens next. In addition, these characters are very
well-written. From the heroes to the villains (and sometimes it is
a little hard to tell which is which), each of them is perfect.
They all, also, have imperfections, which makes them come alive.
Add in the dialogue that is quite realistic and you have the
perfect mix to make a believable story.
"Goat Rope is definitely
a book that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys a great thriller
that is packed with action, spies, and an excellent storyline.
Because this is book 10 and the first one I have read, I must say
that I am hooked and will be going back to read the other books in
the series - I want to learn more about this group of government
agents known as Charlemagne. — Kathy Stickles for
"Author K. A. Bachus has penned an intense experience in this
highly descriptive and fast-paced novel, offering a real sucker
punch of action and intrigue in a concise narrative style. The plot
is intricately woven with espionage, intrigue, and high-stakes
action and I was especially drawn to the unique parlance of the
narrative and characters to paint a realistically gritty world and
showcase the uglier side of humanity. The tension is palpable
thanks to clever pacing, twists, and no unnecessary additions, and
the characters are realistically flawed, making them deeply
relatable and less predictable than your typical heroes and
villains. The narrative keeps you guessing as alliances shift and
loyalties are tested, and I found the dialogue style hugely
effective in getting the plot across and conveying strong character
attitudes without the need for huge chunks of wordy prose. Overall,
Goat Rope is a compelling thriller that will keep you on the edge
of your seat from start to finish and I would definitely recommend
it for thriller fans looking for their next immersive read."

Juan, from Guamuchil, is one whom Jesus found. “We have been studying this little book, Who Do You Say That I Am?. It has been very beautiful knowing who Jesus is, why He came to earth, and how we can live our life in the best way and receive eternal life. Every study has been enriching for my life. It was due to these studies that I managed to approach Jesus Christ, ask for forgiveness for my sins and accept Him as my Savior.” | <urn:uuid:19fe61b7-1cb6-4c5c-8de3-71915ff64f6c> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.wmpambassadors.org/blog/ministering-to-mexicos-marginalized | 2023-12-11T02:27:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679103464.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20231211013452-20231211043452-00051.warc.gz | en | 0.977459 | 137 | [

JACKSON, INC. v. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE TOWN OF AVON.
The plaintiff, Jackson, Inc., appeals from the judgment of the trial court dismissing its appeal from the decision of the planning and zoning commission of the town of Avon (commission). On appeal, the plaintiff claims that the court improperly determined that the commission had the authority to deny its subdivision application based only on one general provision in the town's subdivision regulations when the plaintiff had complied with all of the specific provisions in the regulations. The plaintiff further contends that the court improperly concluded that there was substantial evidence in the record to support the commission's reasons for the denial of the application. We disagree and, accordingly, affirm the judgment of the trial court.
The following facts are relevant to the resolution of the plaintiff's appeal. The plaintiff filed an application with the commission seeking to subdivide a 155 acre parcel of land for residential uses. The original application proposed 110 building lots, but that number was later reduced to ninety-seven during the application process. The land consisted of large areas of wetlands, steep slopes and rocky ledges. The commission denied the plaintiff's application on the ground that it did not comply with § 1.11 of the Avon subdivision regulations (subdivision regulations), entitled “Character of the Land,” concluding essentially that the topography of the land rendered it unsuitable for the plaintiff's proposal.1 Thereafter, the plaintiff appealed to the Superior Court. The court dismissed the plaintiff's appeal, stating that the commission's decision was not unreasonable, arbitrary or illegal and that it was supported by substantial evidence in the record. This appeal followed.
The plaintiff first claims that the court improperly concluded that the commission was entitled to deny the application solely on the basis of a general provision in the subdivision regulations, namely, § 1.11, when the plaintiff had complied with all of the specific provisions in the zoning and subdivision regulations.2 As part of this claim, the plaintiff asserts that § 1.11 of the subdivision regulations is so broad and vague that its application yields unbridled authority to the commission. Because the plaintiff's claim presents a question of law, our review is plenary. See Jewett City Savings Bank v. Franklin, 280 Conn. 274, 278, 907 A.2d 67 (2006).
Section 1.11 of the subdivision regulations provides: “Land which the Commission finds to be unsuitable for subdivision or development, due to flooding, improper drainage, steep slopes, rock formations, adverse earth formations or topography, utility easements, or other features will reasonably be harmful to the safety, health, and general welfare of the present or future inhabitants of the subdivision and/or its surrounding areas, shall not be subdivided or developed unless adequate methods are formulated by the developer and approved by the Commission, upon recommendation of the Town Engineer and Director of Health, to solve the problems created by the unsuitable land conditions. Such land shall be set aside for uses as shall not involve such a danger.” In dismissing the plaintiff's appeal, the court concluded that “the commission was dealing with a proposed subdivision on land that was unsuitable for subdivision development. The criteria for determining unsuitable land are set forth in § 1.11 of the [subdivision] regulations as land that is wet, rocky, steep and of adverse topography. Those criteria are objective and detailed. It is impossible or impractical to draft more precise standards that apply to such land. The many variables involved clearly preclude it. Section 1.11 recognizes that when a subdivision application is proposed on such a difficult land, the only practical way to deal with it is for the developer to present a plan that the commission in its best judgment can approve. Concededly, some discretion is left to the commission, but under the circumstances it is necessary. There is the possibility of arbitrariness. But the situation of such topography prevents no fixed or more detailed criteria to apply․ Thus ․ § 1.11 of the ․ subdivision regulations is reasonably precise and sufficient to guide both the plaintiff and the commission, and can be validly applied in this case.” (Citation omitted.)
We are aware, of course, that “[t]he subdivision regulations upon which the commission, acting administratively, should rule must contain known and fixed standards applying to all cases of a like nature․ The standard for determining the adequacy of subdivision regulations [therefore] is whether they are as reasonably precise as the subject matter requires and are reasonably adequate and sufficient to guide the commission and to enable those affected to know their rights and obligations․ Although some standards may be general, the regulation must be reasonably sufficient to identify the criteria to be evaluated in their enforcement in order to meet the many variables involved since it would be impossible to establish one standard which would adequately cover all future cases.” (Citation omitted; internal quotation marks omitted.) Harris v. Zoning Commission, 259 Conn. 402, 429, 788 A.2d 1239 (2002).
As the commission points out, our Supreme Court confronted a similar argument in Forest Construction Co. v. Planning & Zoning Commission, 155 Conn. 669, 236 A.2d 917 (1967). In Forest Construction Co., the town planning and zoning commission denied the subdivision application on the ground that the applicant proposed only one route of access into and out of the subdivision, thereby creating potential traffic hazards. Id., at 673, 236 A.2d 917. In reaching its conclusion, the commission relied on a subdivision regulation providing that “[t]he commission reserves the right to reject applications for the development of land when such development might be hazardous to the health and welfare of the community.” (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Id., at 675, 236 A.2d 917. Our Supreme Court held: “It is unrealistic to demand detailed standards which are impracticable or impossible․ As the complexity of economic and governmental conditions increases, the modern tendency is liberal in approving broad regulatory standards so as to facilitate the operational functions of administrative boards or commissions. It is apparent that the regulations are within the purview of the enabling act, and the criteria contained in the commission's regulations are as reasonably precise as the subject matter requires and are reasonably adequate and sufficient to guide the commission and to enable those affected to know their rights and obligations․ Although some of the standards may be general in their terms, they are reasonably sufficient to identify the criteria to be evaluated in their enforcement in order to meet the many variables involved since it would be impossible to establish one standard which would adequately cover all future cases.” (Citations omitted.) Id., at 679-80, 236 A.2d 917.
Similarly, in Blakeman v. Planning Commission, 152 Conn. 303, 206 A.2d 425 (1965), the town planning commission denied a resubdivision application on the ground that the intersection of the proposed road with the existing road would not be safe because the roads would intersect on a slope, thus providing a “ ‘poor sight distance,’ ” and also because problems would arise with surface drainage on the existing road. Id., at 305, 206 A.2d 425. The regulation relied on by the commission required that streets be designed to provide “ ‘safe and convenient’ ” access to proposed lots and a safe system for traffic. Id. The Supreme Court held: “The conditions which might make an intersection unsafe are many and varied. No one standard could ever be adopted to cover adequately all future cases. Judgment and experience must be applied in each instance, and an administrative agency such as the defendant may act upon its own knowledge and observation, as well as the evidence presented to it at a hearing.” Id., at 307, 206 A.2d 425.
Here, it is clear that the intent of § 1.11 is to ensure that proper provisions be made for flooding, drainage and soil erosion, the extent of which depend on the topographic character of the land sought to be developed. It would be impractical to attempt to establish regulations that would address every possible concern regarding topographic or other natural conditions of land. Because the appropriate measures to be taken will necessarily vary with the character of the land subject to the subdivision application, we believe that the criteria contained in § 1.11 are “as reasonably precise as the subject matter requires and are reasonably adequate and sufficient to guide the commission and to enable those affected to know their rights and obligations.” Nicoli v. Planning & Zoning Commission, 171 Conn. 89, 93, 368 A.2d 24 (1976). Accordingly, we conclude that the failure to comply with § 1.11 is a sufficient basis for the denial of a subdivision application.
We next consider whether the evidence before the commission adequately supports the reasons given for its decision. “In reviewing a decision of a zoning board, a reviewing court is bound by the substantial evidence rule, according to which, [c]onclusions reached by [the board] must be upheld by the trial court if they are reasonably supported by the record. The credibility of the witnesses and the determination of issues of fact are matters solely within the province of the [board]․ The question is not whether the trial court would have reached the same conclusion, but whether the record before the [board] supports the decision reached․ If a trial court finds that there is substantial evidence to support a zoning board's findings, it cannot substitute its judgment for that of the board․ If there is conflicting evidence in support of the zoning commission's stated rationale, the reviewing court ․ cannot substitute its judgment as to the weight of the evidence for that of the commission․ The agency's decision must be sustained if an examination of the record discloses evidence that supports any one of the reasons given.” (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Loring v. Planning & Zoning Commission, 287 Conn. 746, 756, 950 A.2d 494 (2008). “[E]vidence is sufficient to sustain an agency finding if it affords a substantial basis of fact from which the fact in issue can be reasonably inferred.” (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Unistar Properties, LLC v. Conservation & Inland Wetlands Commission, 293 Conn. 93, 114, 977 A.2d 127 (2009).
Here, the record amply supports the commission's decision. The commission heard evidence that more than 400,000 cubic yards of cuts and 400,000 cubic yards of fill would have to be moved about the subject property. The commission was also presented with evidence that a substantial amount of blasting and regrading would be required to develop the site. The plaintiff contends that this evidence, however, is not significant because it is not atypical, and its proposal is similar to other area subdivisions that the commission had approved. In regard to nearby sites, however, the commission noted that it had received reports of problems in those subdivisions related to drainage and erosion. Although § 1.11 does not contain specific proscriptions as to amounts of cutting, blasting, regrading or earth removal that would be regarded as excessive, the commission members are entitled to rely on their expertise and judgment concerning matters within their knowledge, particularly drawing on past experience for guidance. See Lee & Lamont Realty v. Planning & Zoning Commission, 112 Conn.App. 484, 488, 963 A.2d 98 (2009). On the basis of the foregoing and our thorough examination of the record, we conclude that the denial of the plaintiff's subdivision application was not improper.
The judgment is affirmed.
1. Specifically, the commission stated that it denied the plaintiff's application because “[s]ection 1.11 of the subdivision regulations, Character of the Land, has not been met:“CHARACTER OF THE LAND-Land which the Commission finds to be unsuitable for subdivision or development, due to flooding, improper drainage, steep slopes, rock formations, adverse earth formations or topography, utility easements, or other features will reasonably be harmful to the safety, health, and general welfare of the present or future inhabitants of the subdivision and/or its surrounding areas, shall not be subdivided or developed unless adequate methods are formulated by the developer and approved by the Commission, upon recommendation of the Town Engineer and Director of Health, to solve the problems created by the unsuitable land conditions. Such land shall be set aside for uses as shall not involved such a danger.“The number of requested building parcels and road configurations result in too great of a disturbance to the site with approximately 800,000 [cubic yards] of cuts and fills with a surplus of 65,000 [cubic yards] of material. The resulting blasting, crushing, and transporting of material may be reasonably harmful to the present inhabitants of the surrounding areas. Additionally, the intense development of similar sites within the Huckleberry Hill area have demonstrated the ongoing erosion problems which impact future inhabitants of the developments and surrounding areas.“The proposed development parcel should be reasonably developed with a road circulation pattern and individual building parcels configured to fit the topography and individual home styles also fitting the topography of the building parcels. A significant reduction in the number of building lots may result in a plan that does not require a road circulation pattern with the required connection to the Craigemore Circle/Lovely Street intersection. The public safety concerns may be addressed with individual residential fire suppression systems and the connection of Princeton Drive and the westerly future extension of the Wood Creek Road temporary cul-de-sac.”
2. The plaintiff does not claim that the commission did not have the authority to enact § 1.11 of the subdivision regulations.
In this opinion the other judges concurred.

As Women Superstars United looks to close 2019 and move forward into 2020 they do so by looking into the past. Let’s rewind to 2017 and the landscape of WSU was run by Chrissy Rivera and The Reckoning. Fusing the tag team the Sinister Sweethearts, Brittany Blake and Samantha Heights, with the Undead Bride, Su Yung. She also recruited Annie Social and together they orchestrated the betrayal of Social’s longtime best friend Missy Sampson. The crowning glory of the Reckoning would be their dominant and decisive victory in the first-ever women’s War Games match at WSU Battle Tested.
Fast forward to September 2017 and Su Yung teamed with Eddy Blackwater to represent The Reckoning in the Queen & King tournament. They would vanquish teams like Anthony Bennett and Willow Nightingale, Brandon Watts and Kiera Hogan, and Jason Cade and Veda Scott. Following this, the group would splinter off in different directions. WSU wouldn’t hold regular events until returning in 2019, and Su Yung’s title shot has yet to be fulfilled. This will change at the event entitled The Reckoning. Two former stablemates will collide with the WSU World Championship on the line. There’s tons of other incredible action lined up for WSU’s special year-end double-header!
Sonya Strong vs. Ashley America
Sonya Strong‘s 2019 at WSU has been very successful. She has but one blemish on her record, against Savanna Stone in her debut. Sonya has also formed a partnership with her former rival, Ariela Nyx. They look to get a shot at the WSU Tag Team Championships very soon. At The Reckoning, she will deal with Ashley America. We first met the rugged Zen Warrior at Just a Bunch of Hocus Pocus in her WSU debut. She too fell in her first match, to Vita Von Starr. However, she won’t let that get her down and she’s ready to return!
Ruthless Lala vs. Diamante
This will be a clash of two of the major forces in WSU! Ruthless Lala is undefeated and would love nothing more than to add gold to her radar in 2020. Lala is a veteran of 17 years in wrestling and is finally being given a platform on which to shine in WSU. Her opponent is none other than the Cuban Diamond, Diamante. Diamante built one hell of a record in 2019 having clawed her way to the top of the ranking. She lost to Kris Statlander to determine the Interim WSU World Champion before Tessa Blanchard vacated the title. Now she will look to rebound at The Reckoning to show the fans and WSU management that she’s still championship material. Respectfully, Lala would disagree and assert that it is she who has earned a title shot. Whichever woman can walk away from this fight certainly will be on Brittany Blake’s radar.
Shalandra Royal vs. Candy Cartwright
The Fighting Siren Shalandra Royal will be making her WSU debut against Candy Cartwright. Shalandra is from the Georgia area and works for indies such as Georgia Premier Wrestling, Intense Wrestling Entertainment, Girl Fight and more. She also made an appearance for All Elite Wrestling on episode six of AEW Dark. Candy is an opponent that can be easily overlooked because of her personality. However, don’t let her bubbly demeanor fool you, this Platinum Hunnie-In-Training can get vicious to get what she wants. She is a former Shine Nova Champion and has stacked up two wins in a row in WSU. Will the first female Dusty Rhodes American Dream Scholarship winner have a golden debut as well as her voice? Or will it be just another day at the office for the Cutie Pie? Shalandra will also be singing the national anthem at the events.
Tasha Steelz vs. Savanna Stone
Maybe one more new talent announcement for our year-end double header on SATURDAY DECEMBER 28th?
— Women's Superstars United (@WSUWrestling) December 3, 2019
One of the hottest rising stars on the independent wrestling scene as of late is Tasha Steelz. The Team Adams trainee worked with Ring of Honor this year, was backstage for NXT and recently debuted for the NWA. Steelz is also the current Battle Club Pro ICONS Champion and the Chaotic Wrestling Women’s Champion. The next stop on her journey is at WSU. Her opponent at The Reckoning is another rising star, 19-year-old Savanna Stone. Savanna fell in her debut to the indomitable Intergalactic sensation, Kris Statlander. She’s bounced back, picking up tough and hard-fought wins over Sonya Strong and Leyla Hirsch in the WSU/CZW family. The Elgin-trained Stone has also begun working for Prime Time Pro Wrestling and successfully debuted for Warrior Wrestling against Holidead. These two women will surely be at the forefront of leading the future of WSU, it’s just a matter of time.
Damaris vs. Izzy McCoy
Damaris has a record of 2 and 1 in WSU, she’s picked up wins over Valentina Vazquez and Brylee King. Her only loss is to All That, Ava Everett. She will take on the returning Izzy McCoy. The last we saw of Izzy, she took a tough defeat to Ravana Xin. However, she didn’t let that dampen her spirit.
Ava Everett vs. Violette
All That Ava Everett is in for another tough challenge. At Just a Bunch of Hocus Pocus, she unsuccessfully challenged for the WSU Spirit Championship. Now she will take on the undefeated and vibrant Violette. Violette is one half of the team Bad Company with Masha Slamovitch and they too tasted defeat at Is It Fall Yet? In singles competition though, Violette has a record that’s hard to argue with. She’s put away names like Angel Sinclair, Shazza McKenzie, and Veda Scott. Violette also went to a no-contest with a fellow undefeated competitor, Ariela Nyx. Whichever of these ladies comes out on top could make a case for a title shot, especially Violette.
Corrine Mink vs. Kaci Dillon
The Golden Girl, Corrine Mink would like to break .500 in WSU before 2019 is over. At Just a Bunch of Hocus Pocus, she picked up the victory over Karen Bam Bam. A regular for WrestlePro, A Matter of Pride, and New York Wrestling Connection, she keeps busier than Blanche Deveraux’s bedroom. Her opponent is the Princess of Darkness, Kaci Dillon. Dillon is just a few years into her career but has already made a bit of a name for herself. WSU is her first major women’s wrestling promotion, so hopefully, we can see more of her.
Squish X Threat vs Starlight Foundation
WSU The Reckoning: https://t.co/II2GHc0gvg
— ?????? ℭ???????? ??. (@NevaehChantelle) December 17, 2019
Following her second straight loss in WSU, Karen Bam Bam was down in the dumps. Neveah Chantelle approached her and proposed that they combine their efforts as a team. The two have formed a fairly successful partnership in the CZW Dojo Wars, so now they bring it to WSU. They will take on the Starlight Foundation, which is Gabby Gilbert’s new tag team.
Kasey Catal vs. Ariela Nyx
So this match is kind of interesting. Let’s set the scene. Kasey Catal is one half of the WSU Tag Team Champions with Delmi Exo. Ariela Nyx and Sonya Strong are a new tag team and feel they are deserving of a title shot. However, Delmi Exo will not be at The Reckoning and Sonya Strong is busy with a match of her own. Catal is coming off a victory over Jimmy Lloyd at CZW’s Night of Infamy. She also factored into Brandon Kirk’s Cage of Death loss to Lloyd. So we’ll have to wait and see what exactly this match brings.
WSU Spirit Championship Match
Davienne (c) vs. Kiera Hogan
The Girl on Fire returns to WSU at The Reckoning! We last saw her at WSU Breaking Barriers 5 when she lost the WSU Spirit Championship to Jordynne Grace. Kiera never got a chance to get her rematch following this title loss, so this is long overdue. Davienne of The Endless is Not America’s Sweetheart and eager to prove her worth as champion. This will be just her second title defense, but in her first outing, Davienne proved why it is she who unseated Kris Statlander. It is also a first-time-ever match up and should be an interesting clash of styles. Under Mother’s ever-watchful eye, the bruising beauty will look to further their legacy.
WSU World Championship Match
Brittany Blake (c) vs. Su Yung
In the penultimate clash at The Reckoning, we will see Brittany Blake’s first title defense as WSU World Champion. The only time these two were involved in the same match was in the all-female War Games back in 2017. Su Yung is one of the most intense and feared wrestlers today. It takes a lot to get the Undead Bride down for the three-count, especially when you have something that she wants. Brittany has also proven her mettle in this year, clawing her way to the very top of the WSU mountain. Now that she finally has her prize, she won’t be keen to see it slip from her grasp.
The Reckoning is set to kick off at 3:00 PM on December 28th. There is a second show entitled No Need For Glasses We Have 2020 Vision. This one will kick off at 7:30PM. What’s in store? Well, you’ll have to watch to find out! This is a full surprise card, but what is sure is that ALL WSU championships will be defended. WSU is going to go out with a bang! | <urn:uuid:9ca72681-ee3a-4090-b2d2-a88d26f918d5> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://prowrestlingpost.com/preview-wsu-presents-the-reckoning-double-header/ | 2023-11-29T02:17:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100047.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20231129010302-20231129040302-00251.warc.gz | en | 0.954571 | 2,192 | [

This briefing sets out how advancing sustainable finance can address new European challenges, recommending seven actions for the onset of the next European Commission.
- Technological shifts are disrupting politics and the economy. Digital technology, automation and Artificial Intelligence offer opportunities but are also creating economic disruption and facilitating disinformation and populist movements. Meanwhile, the climate crisis requires a structural economic transformation.
- The financial outlook for the economy is gloomy. Europe’s economy grew by only 1.1% in 2019 so far in the face of multiple risks. Global market indicators are unfavourable1a and European sovereign bonds have negative yields, indicating likely recession1b.
- Europe faces growing pressures on its internal cohesion and unity. Pressures include Brexit, internal disputes over human rights and governance including how to manage flows of refugees and migrants, demographic challenges and the rise of populism.
- Geopolitical instability is rising. An insular US has begun a trade war with China, hurting European industry. More frequent and intense extreme weather events, with effects including floods and forest fires, migration and conflict, are putting strain on economies.
How can sustainable finance address these challenges?
Sustainability and inclusivity are guiding principles for Europe’s finance policy. By renewing this vision, the Commission can address the four key challenges above in ways that will:
- Realise a Structural Economic Transformation and Capitalise on Technological Shifts: financing the fourth industrial revolution and increasing investments and innovation in a truly clean economy, including in clean infrastructure.
- Strengthen the Economy and Rebuild the Social Licence to Operate: rebuilding European public confidence that the financial system is there to direct money towards investment that delivers the future Europe they want.
- Provide Inclusive Access to Capital for All Europe: rebalancing access to affordable capital across the EU to deliver socially sustainable investment needed to meet the net zero target, and in particular ensuring that finance flows to the East in areas such as distributed clean energy, efficiency, smart system and resilience projects.
- Protect European Citizens and Offer a Fair Deal for Savers: protecting European savers, who are still being exposed to risks they cannot see or control by financial institutions that continue to invest in companies and projects which could be made worthless by climate policy or impacts. By not doing this, savers are missing out on the higher long-term returns achieved from greater investment in sustainable infrastructure.

Mass tourism refers to the movement of a large number of organized tourists to popular holiday destinations for recreational purposes. It is a phenomenon which is characterized by the use of standardized package products and mass consumption. Conceptually, this type of tourism features standardized leisure products and experiences packaged for mass tourists (Poon 1993).
History and development
The beginning of mass tourism is largely related to various changes, which occurred in the industrial societies in the second half of the twentieth century. In fact, the history of mass tourism began in 1851 when Thomas Cook led a mass of tourists to the Great Exhibition in London (Page 2012). The growth of leisure travel and its importance were a result of the increased spending power, personal mobility, development of public transport, and internationalization in modern communities (Bramwell 2004). The emergence of paid holidays, increased leisure time, and the development of railway networks...

BUFFALO, N.Y., and BOSTON (Dec. 10, 2015) – Delaware North, a global leader in hospitality and food service, today announced that TD Garden President Amy Latimer will now also lead the company’s operations in the United Kingdom.
Latimer will work to enhance and expand Delaware North’s United Kingdom business, which includes food service at six major soccer stadiums – including Wembley Stadium, Emirates Stadium and The Stadium at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park – and travel hospitality services at Heathrow Airport in London and five other airports.
Doug Tetley, Delaware North’s managing director for UK operations, will report to Latimer, who will continue to be based in Boston and lead TD Garden’s operations.
Latimer in 2012 became president of TD Garden, the Delaware North-owned-and-operated arena that is the home of the Boston Bruins and Boston Celtics and hosts many of the world’s most popular music and entertainment acts. Over the last two years, Latimer worked with Charlie Jacobs, CEO of Delaware North’s Boston Holdings, to guide a $70 million renovation of the venue.
“Amy Latimer has done a tremendous job leading our operations at TD Garden, enhancing the fan experience and positioning it as one of the world’s leading indoor entertainment venues,” said Rick Abramson, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Delaware North. “I’m confident Amy can work with our UK team to have a similar impact on Delaware North’s operations there, as well as help us capitalize on opportunities for growth.”
Latimer has two decades of knowledge and experience in the sports and arena industry. She was part of the inaugural executive team at TD Garden, beginning as director of marketing in 1995. She later spent six seasons as senior vice president of sales and marketing, leading all sales and marketing strategies for the Boston Bruins and the venue.
A recognized leader in the sports industry, Latimer was named one of Sports Business Journal's Game Changers in 2011. Earlier this year, she was named one of the three Women of the Year recipients by Women in Sports & Events. Latimer received a degree in political science from the University of Rhode Island.

From as little as £1 a week you can help to support a Poodle
We will never give up on a dog without trying our very best and giving it every opportunity we have at our disposal. Please, please help in any way you can.
Some of the dogs that come into our care become long-term fosters and cannot be re-homed because of age or health problems. Below, you can see just some of the dogs we have on 'permanent foster' and we therefore need to raise money for to cover vet fees, food costs, rehabilitation, etc.
Would you be prepared to sponsor a dog for as little as £1.00 per week? This is a valuable way in which those who are not able to keep a dog of their own, provide support and care for a POODLE IN NEED.
Some dogs we take in need extensive veterinary care and medication to ensure they have the best life possible. We will never prolong a dog's life however, if it becomes apparent that they are suffering.
Any sponsorship or fundraising (see our Shop pages) you feel you could provide would be very much appreciated. This could be a 'one-off' donation or a regular payment either monthly or annually. If you do wish to make a donation, please go to our Donate page.
If you feel you could help in any way, please do contact Hanna
Many, many thanks for every penny you give to Poodles in Need
All these dogs require funding for veterinary treatment, food and care. Any sponsorship or donations are gratefully appreciated.

How do you assess the horse before you trim it? How are you evaluating your work while with the horse? Are you spending time with each horse to do this? There are many different ways to assess the horse and check our work with it. The key is to dedicate the time to do this and to have a standard.
There are different ways that I look at the horse and my work. I teach my students to develop their eyes. One analysis tool that I have used is the golden ratio. Luca Pacioli called it in 1509, “de divinia proportione” — the divine proportion. Ancient Greek mathematicians first studied the ratio (1:1.618) because of its frequency in geometry. The first known written definition came from Euclid’s Elements: “A straight line is said to have been cut in extreme and mean ratio when, as the whole line is to the greater segment, so is the greater to the lesser.” And this concept isn’t new for farriers in analysis of work. In 2004, New Mexico farrier Craig Trnka discussed this concept in Professional Farrier.

BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — Dozens of riders, workers, and politicians gathered at the State House Tuesday to call on the MBTA to offer a general low-income fare.
The group of supporters marched from the steps of the State House to deliver a petition in the shape of a giant MBTA Charlie Card, signed by over 1,000 people, to Governor Charlie Baker and the Legislature to help take action to create the new fare.
The MBTA does offer reduced fare options for people with disabilities, seniors, students, and low-income young adults that live in cities or towns in the Youth Pass program, but does not offer a general reduced fare for low-income riders.
State Lawmakers previously passed a proposal that would have created a low-income fare for the MBTA in 2021, but Governor Baker vetoed the bill. State Sen. Lydia Edwards, who sponsored the measure, said it is important to help low-income riders now as inflation rattles the economy.
"Not only are people rent-burdened, not only are they food insecure, but they're also movement burdened now, and we're letting that happen," Sen. Edwards said during the rally.
State Rep. Adrian Madaro joined Sen. Edwards at the rally and said he hears from his constituents that they need more help paying for public transit.
"I hear this constantly from East Boston residents, folks who are making decisions between buying a monthly pass or paying rent this or putting food on the table for my family," Rep. Madaro said. "We shouldn't be forcing families to make these decisions."
One speaker at the rally works as a home aid and said she cannot afford to take the MBTA to work every day and often skips taking the subway altogether.
"Sometimes I walk 15 minutes to the bus so I can save 70 cents because that 70 cents will go towards my next ride for the bus," she said through a translator. "This is how I make sure I can put food on the table."
A recent poll from the MassINC. Polling Group found that 79 percent of those surveyed support a general low-income fare for the MBTA. The Massachusetts state legislative session ends on July 31, which means any urgent action would need to be approved before the end of the month.

Life insurance policies are attractive vehicles providing tax-advantaged growth that the stock market doesn’t hinder. As a result, throwing as much money as possible into the account can be tempting. After all, who wouldn’t want to maximize their gains Unfortunately, contributing too much money into your account can result in the policy becoming a modified endowment contract. This account designation is unchangeable once assigned and produces different implications for taxes and cash value access. Here are the details and how to use the seven-pay test to stay on the straight and narrow. You may also want to work with a financial advisor to help you make the right long-term financial decisions.
What Is a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC)?
A modified endowment contract (MEC) is a former life insurance policy that has lost specific advantages due to accumulating surplus cash. For instance, permanent life insurance policies, such as whole life insurance, defer taxes on growth.
In addition, the policy’s cash value combines with your death benefit for a higher payout to beneficiaries. However, a modified endowment contract irreversibly restricts access to the account’s cash value until the policyholder is age 59.5. Withdrawing money before then will incur a 10% penalty.
History of the MEC
In 1988, Congress established the MEC rule because life insurance was a means to avoid capital gains taxes instead of its intended purpose of providing a death benefit for families. During the 1970s to mid-1980s, long-term capital gains taxes ranged from 20 percent to 39 percent. So, consumers could purchase life insurance policies that allowed hefty upfront payments or a single premium payment and defer taxes on the accumulated cash value.
In addition, they could take out tax-free loans from the policy, which could last a lifetime and be repaid from the eventual death benefit. However, the Technical and Miscellaneous Revenue Act of 1988 stopped this practice by introducing the “seven-pay” test, which identifies policies bought for investing and tax-sheltering instead of the death benefit and gradual growth.
What Is the Seven-Pay Test?
The seven-pay test is how the government determines if a life insurance policy turns into a MEC. Specifically, the test limits how much the policyholder can deposit annually during the first seven years. If the policyholder exceeds the limit with their contributions and doesn’t initiate a refund for the overage, the policy becomes a MEC.
For example, say you open a $250,000 life insurance policy. It has a $5,000 MEC deposit limit. So, you can deposit $5,000 per year for the first seven years of the policy. However, if you were to deposit over $5,000 during any of those seven years, the government would consider the policy a MEC and tax it accordingly.
This rule applies even if you try to make up for a year when your contributions for $5,000. For instance, funding the policy with $4,000 in year one and $6,000 in year two would put your policy into MEC status. Fortunately, if you overpay into your policy, your insurance company will notify you. Then, you can opt for a refund of the surplus payments to retain your policy’s status.
Lastly, it’s key to remember that policies that went into effect before June 20, 1988, aren’t subject to this law because it wasn’t in place yet. Plus, after the first seven years, the rule goes away for your policy unless you make a major adjustment, such as raising the death benefit.
Pros and Cons of MECs
As outlined above, MECs lose the cash value component of the death benefit. For instance, a $250,000 whole life policy that has accumulated $75,000 offers substantial cash reserves. However, if it becomes a MEC, you lose access to that money until age 59.5 unless you’re willing to pay a 10% withdrawal penalty.
In addition, your policy gains the same tax status as a non-qualified annuity, meaning you pay taxes on earnings. The final drawback is that MEC status is permanent once it occurs.
On the other hand, MECs still provide a death benefit to your beneficiaries. Plus, you’ll still experience the steady growth your life insurance policy originally offered and avoid the unpredictability of the stock market.
MEC vs. Life Insurance Contract
MECs differ from life insurance contracts because life insurance contracts don’t penalize withdrawals if the policyholder is younger than 59.5. Conversely, MECs impose the penalty. Plus, permanent life insurance policies have distinct tax-deferral advantages, while MECs have similar taxation as non-qualified annuities.
MEC Tax Consequences
Permanent life insurance policies shield earnings from taxes, meaning your money grows faster. Plus, you can take withdrawals or loans from your policy without incurring taxes if the amount is under the policy’s cost basis.
In addition, you don’t have to be a specific age to touch the money in your life insurance policy. Contrastingly, MECs lack these benefits. When you withdraw funds, your earnings come out first, meaning you pay income taxes on withdrawals. Plus, you must wait until age 59.5 to withdraw cash or pay a 10% penalty to do so beforehand.
Who Can Benefit from MECs
Although MECs experience a downgrade from a typical permanent life insurance policy, they still provide advantages. Specifically, if you want a tax-advantaged payout for your beneficiaries and aren’t bothered by overfunding your policy, a MEC can help. In addition, you won’t pay taxes on the money in your policy until you withdraw it. Therefore, high net-worth individuals might find MECs desirable.
The Bottom Line
A MEC is a life insurance policy that has received excessive deposits over the first seven years of its existence. Violating the seven-year rule produces an irrevocable change to the policy and it becomes a MEC. Your access to the policy’s cash is limited to age 59.5 and you might pay more taxes on the policy than originally planned. However, MECs still retain the primary function of life insurance: providing a hefty payout to beneficiaries upon the policyholder’s death.
Modified Endowment Contract Tips
- Avoiding MEC status can help your life insurance policy function as intended. If you’re confused about how your insurance impacts your financial circumstances, a financial advisor can help. Finding a financial advisor doesn’t have to be hard. SmartAsset’s free tool matches you with up to three vetted financial advisors who serve your area, and you can interview your advisor matches at no cost to decide which one is right for you. If you’re ready to find an advisor who can help you achieve your financial goals, get started now.
- Trying to keep a life insurance policy from becoming a MEC might seem like more trouble than it’s worth, but permanent life policies are cornerstones in countless Americans’ financial plans. Here’s how to tell if you need life insurance.

We're exactly one month away from Mother's Day if you're like our family, trying to come up with the perfect gift feels like an impossible task. So I thought I'd make it a bit easier for you by featuring some of my top picks from my store, as well as some of my favourite local shops.
Obviously I have to start off with our bestselling T-Shirt Dress, ready to ship in three colours and five sizes. Moms of all ages will love the flattering silhouette and comfort and it will quickly become a staple in their wardrobe.
For the accessory loving mom, we also have a number of bags that she’s guaranteed to fall in love with:
The convertible hip bag has been a fan favourite for the past few years. Wear it on the hip or as a crossbody sling, either way it’s sleek design means she’ll be able to carry the essentials without the bulk.
The Skye bags feature fashionable prints with an all vinyl exterior, and come in two sizes. Buy her one or the matching set and she can mix and match to her hearts desire.
Finally, our crossbody phone bags are a new favourite for moms on the go. Large enough to fit a phone and small wallet in the main compartment, with a front zipper pocket for safekeeping.
Now because we are all about #supportingsmallbusiness here, I also wanted to share a few of my absolute favourites from other local shops.
I met Court from Home + Body last October and have fallen in love with her polymer clay earrings. The designs are elegant while making a statement and she truly has something for everyone.
If Mom love candles (or is like me and on team wax melts), you need to check out Grey Willow Creations' hand poured soy candles. A little birdie tells me she's releasing a new scent for Mother's Day, so you're definitely going to want to get in on that!
I haven't worn press-on nails since the 90s (anyone else remember those horrors?), but I recently met Maiden Esthetic and found a new love. Her nails are all hand-painted, and are so easy to put on and take off, that Mom will be able to add a little glam when she wants it and take them off when she's done.
If you've been following my instagram stories lately, you'll see my new obsession with the LSK satin-lined ponytail hats. Let's be real, the messy bun is pretty much a staple of the modern Mom look, and now with these hats she won't need to change her hairstyle when she wants to wear a hat, and with the satin lining it reduces frizz and breakage as well.
For moms who are more in touch with their spiritual side, or may need a little extra boost from the universe, I highly recommend checking out The Goldenline Spiritual Studio in Warkworth. If you're not able to visit in person, you can check out their website or reach out over social media and the team will help you put together the perfect crystals or other pieces to help mom reach her highest level.
And last but not least, Mom is definitely going to need a card, and Anna from Splendid Greetings has the punniest ones around! All her cards are original designs and her imagination has no bounds. She also offers the ability to change the wording from "mom" to "grandma" or "nana" as needed. | <urn:uuid:7e358369-9fd8-4e5c-b368-22b184a63490> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://boozoobaby.ca/blogs/gift-guides/mothers-day-gift-guide | 2023-12-11T05:42:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679103558.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20231211045204-20231211075204-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.965024 | 716 | [

What is Cyanoacrylate Glue? Well, it’s a super fast instant adhesive widely known for different names but refers to the same chemical agents. So whether you’re calling it Super glue or Crazy Glue, different people call it by different names. For example, woodworkers call it ca or cyanoacrylate glue. DIY hobbyists or serious crafting professionals call it instant or CA glue. On the other hand, occasional buyers refer to it as super glue.
Hence, CA is the short form of cyanoacrylate glue which refers to bond instantly.
Basically, cyanoacrylate glue is engineered and developed for quick and instant bonding. At the same, this glue can be used on anything like wood, metal, plastic, rubber, etc.
However, depending on the chemical agents, color, and variations, there are different types of cyanoacrylate adhesives available in the market. Therefore, they all do the same job, which is to make the strongest bonding ever.
Furthermore, there are 3 basic CA glue available, such as
- Thick CA glue,
- Medium CA glue, and
- Thin CA Glue.
CA Adhesive Benefits

How to use ca glue?
CA glue isn’t like a traditional adhesive that requires a lot of time to dry. Basically, cyanoacrylate glue is made from acrylic resin to dry fast, but the main component of this glue is cyanoacrylate. Initially, it stays liquid in the air tight bottle. But, as long as you implement it, it becomes a plastic lookalike solid object after a while.
However, it works better on moisture surfaces. Therefore, you need to make abrasion on both surfaces during gluing for ultimate bonding.
Now, I’m going to tell you how to use cyanoacrylate glue on any surface.
- First of all, wear all the protective gear like glass, gloves, face shield, mask, etc.
- Then take the objects where you want to implement the glue.
- Now, glue on one side and make a good abrasion, then join them together.
- Then leave it for 10-12 seconds.
- That’s all. Easy!

Spurs are due to be meeting up with some old acquaintances this weekend as they travel to the Falmer stadium to take on Gus Poyet’s Brighton side.
Not only will they cross paths with fans favourite Poyet, his assistant and occasional full back Mauricio Taricco will also be attendance although our former Argentine defender has been ruled out of the game following an ankle injury,
“It’s disappointing that I am not involved, because I like training and I like being fit. It is even worse at my age if you are missing training and fitness,” Taricco is quoted as saying.
Gus and his backroom staff have worked wonders in taking Brighton into the Championship last season and the campaign underlined that he is one of the most promising young managers in the country. | <urn:uuid:ccf638fb-0550-4025-8932-8c0cabc7c0d3> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | http://www.tottenhamblog.com/2011/07/28/old-boy-to-miss-clash-with-spurs/ | 2023-11-30T11:12:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100184.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20231130094531-20231130124531-00251.warc.gz | en | 0.985554 | 168 | [

Local Made Elderberry Syrups – How To Find And Compare
If you started off searching for elderberry syrup near me, you need help deciding which one to buy. We’ve made it easy to view and compare your local choices, including location, distance, price, ingredients and how to purchase.
Quick And Convenient Locations To Purchase Nearby
Check our map to see just how close local makers are to your home or office. You will likely find a maker nearby offering porch pickup. Often just a short drive on your side of town, porch pickup puts the local in locally made. In addition, many local elderberry syrups start out at farmers markets and pop-ups on the weekends, located alongside local honey and other artisanal and home grown products. After that, some syrups make their way onto the shelves of locally owned stores such as pharmacies and grocers. You can literally pick some up on the way home.
Some Makers May Come Closer To Your Location
For instance, what if there isn’t a local syrup conveniently nearby? Check to see if local makers offer meetups closer to your area, or even delivery on certain days of the week. In larger areas, many makers establish regular meetup locations in different parts of town, often communicating on their facebook page when the next meetup is.
Order Online And Ship Nationwide
For friends and family outside of the area, most locally made syrups can be ordered online, so check to see if shipping is offered. Many local makers of Elderberry Syrup can ship across the nation if they are selling online. Check shipping options during checkout.
What To Consider When Comparing How Much Elderberry Syrup Should Cost?
Size: The larger the size, the greater the price, but the cost per ounce (oz) often goes down. The most common sizes offered by local makers are 8oz and 16oz. Sometimes you will find larger sizes such as 32oz and on occasion even find 4oz travel sizes.
Ingredients: The most common single ingredient in all locally made Elderberry syrups is you guessed it, elderberries. The full list of most common ingredients includes elderberries, honey, cinnamon, clove, ginger and water. However, there are many other ingredients and variations that result in truly unique elderberry syrups. Some of the ingredients are premium and can add to the price.
Shipping: Shipping and distribution costs can add to the price also. Porch pickup is the simplest and lowest cost option. If the products are sold in local stores, then retailers get a cut of the price for the cost of convenience and shelf space. If you can purchase online and select shipping, the makers have to spend money on packing materials and shipping costs. Note that some local makers even price their products to include free shipping, so be sure to ask and keep that in mind for your comparison. | <urn:uuid:5690a087-144e-40b4-b1a5-3a5eb8d87158> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://findelderberry.com/ | 2023-11-30T10:52:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100184.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20231130094531-20231130124531-00251.warc.gz | en | 0.913739 | 812 | [

While checking in on fellow blogger ginger and lime, I found the following written in the comments section of her last post:
A quick note of thanks to all of G&L’s wonderful followers. G&L gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby boy on Friday evening just shy of 37 weeks. Birth weight of 7 lbs, 4 ozs. Mother and baby are doing well. I’m sure G&L will be blogging about her experiences after she has regained her strength.
Yea!

The Avast VPN application is easy to use, simple and has several excellent security features. It isn’t equipped with essential features such as split tunneling and the kill button. Also, it’s not equipped with a built-in Ad-blocker. It’s a great service overall however, there are other options that offer better features at the same price.
Anyone who has used Avast anti-virus software will be familiar with the Windows client’s easy to navigate interface. Its design is intuitive and the hamburger menu on the top of the right-hand side leads you to “Settings.” The Windows application can connect automatically, or start a connection manually by clicking the Change Location button. You’ll then see a list separated by region and function (P2P streaming, P2P).
Security is robust with AvastVP, thanks to its 256-bit AES encryption and the fact that it blocks WebRTC leaks and DNS leaks. It also supports the highly secure OpenVPN protocol, and has beta support for WireGuard. This avast vpn review allows you to connect to locations where VPNs are not available. It’s a great solution for those who experience intermittent internet connectivity.
Avast’s privacy policies are more transparent than other privacy policies and it doesn’t track your IP address of origin or the websites you visit. It does record the amount data that was downloaded and uploaded during your session.
Avast VPN provides a 7-day trial that is free and does not require credit card. You can then select between one, two- or three year subscription for up to five devices. It accepts PayPal, Perfect Money and credit cards, but it does not provide cash or cryptocurrencies. | <urn:uuid:0f48ebf8-5e0c-4124-ab73-57939cd6197a> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://vozcomm.com/avast-vpn-review/ | 2023-12-01T16:36:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100290.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20231201151933-20231201181933-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.93359 | 363 | [

In Northern Ireland a Public Body includes a Northern Ireland department, a department of the Government of the United Kingdom, a district council, a statutory undertaker or any other body established or constituted under a statutory provision.
In general terms all Public Bodies have a duty to protect and enhance the features for which an ASSI has been designated. This applies to the normal exercise of the Public Body’s functions.
The Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) has an online service for operations and activities requiring assent in Areas of Special Scientific Interest.
This online assent service makes assent applications more convenient, efficient and straightforward. It is linked into NIEA’s Natural Environment map viewer, whereby applicants can easily generate maps, ‘redline’ the area where activity will be carried out and attach it to the application form. | <urn:uuid:ff480c57-54d3-4238-b1fb-1000226467f2> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.daera-ni.gov.uk/articles/duties-public-bodies-concerning-assis | 2023-12-01T15:56:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100290.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20231201151933-20231201181933-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.899325 | 173 | [

Opal’ mission is to empower humans to focus better every day. Today we’re introducing a simpler and clearer way to track your screen time and improve your focus.
Straight in the Opal app. Check it out!
PS if you don’t see the new Opal home, don’t forgot to update your Opal app!
Why Change Our Home Screen?
Over the last 3 years, we’ve released more than 170 versions of our app on the App Store, usually every Monday. Each time we're looking for opportunities to advance our mission, which is to help humans focus better every day in this constantly connected world.
First, we've heard your feedback.
We've been thrilled by the response to Opal's Home Screen, which is where an important Opal feature lives: Focus Score®. Focus Score® helps you check your focus level at any point throughout the day. It uses live data from your phone’s activity to measure your focus automatically, and to give you the power to change and improve your focus. Private and secure by design, Focus Score® analyses your pickups, notifications, and time spent on different apps and websites to give you the best picture of your focus.
Many of you have been using this feature daily, and we've received feedback from hundreds on you, notably on the community forum, about improvements to make to it. Over the last year, Peter and I spent many hours catching up to the feedback individually and adding new apps to customise, but we want to find a more scalable way to allow for this customisation.
Many of you also told us that the feature was too complex and hard to read. That you found the idea useful, but just couldn't understand how it worked.
So we decided to make the Opal Home simpler and clearer.
Matt then suggested we try a cleaner way to visualise the score on the Home, with a simple hourly bar chart. He built it, we tested it internally and with a few dozen gems, we liked it and we decided to go for it. Anton built some design concepts and iterated with me and Antoine, and the team went to work to release.
Second, we believe Screen Time is the New Diet
One of the things we believe in as a team is that screen time is the new diet.
Just like there is good food and bad food, and good food for some people, and bad food for others, not all Screen Time is equal, and it is deeply personal.
For screen time, it really depends on your age and mental health condition, context like time of day, your location, whether you’re alone or with others, your job and also personality and preferences.
If you want to measure the quality of your focus and your screen time, you need customisation. We needed to make Screen Time personal so it can work for you.
This still isn't obvious to most people. Apple and Google introduced Screen Time has an overall number to look at and for most people, it's the only thing to measure.
We needed to create a design for the Opal Home that you can understand if you only want to read your overall screen time, but we wanted to take you to experience a different concept - Focus Score®, where you can visualise the quality of your screen time (good/bad) and make decisions on what helps or hurts your focus.
The New Opal Home
So here’s what we’ve done
We created a simpler and clearer way to track your screen time and improve your focus daily.
Immediately when you open opal you can see your screen time for today and Focus Score as a percentage. You will also see your pick ups up to now.
Pickups: the number of times you picked up your phone up to now
Focus Score: the percentage of your day where you're not using distracting apps
A new bar chart
A new bar chart below showing you how you spent each hour of your day.
🟢 Your gem colour shows positive focus time: when you’re offline or on productive apps
🔴 Red represents the time you spend on distracting apps that erode your focus
In this way you can always see how focused you are throughout the day.
If you scroll down you can see in detail what your phone usage was like today, with a specific breakdown by app and website.
You can even scrub the chart to go to a specific hour of the day, and zoom in on your score, pickups, screen time and detailed usage for that hour.
You can tap on any app and edit wether you think this app is Productive or Distracting. Hit Save, and your score and chart will update.
Productive: Apps that help your Focus
Distracting: Apps that hurt your Focus.
Neutral: Apps that neither hurt not help your focus. They are not counted towards your screen time. You can use this for example for apps you use in the background like Google Maps or audio like Spotify.
It's up to you to decide!
Making Screen Time Work for You
That’s it - hopefully this will allow you to make Screen Time work for you, help you better measure your focus and the quality of your screen time every day, making decisions on what improves or hurt your focus, to you can make progress and focus better each day.
And one more thing - you might have noticed the beautiful gems on the Home Screen, of course it’s an Opal. If you go to your profile you’ll see you can unlock these stunning gems - we can them MileStones - when you make progress in the app. Check it out. | <urn:uuid:e180c919-73c2-4a43-b0b8-437486e4a245> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.opal.so/blog/introducing-the-new-opal-home-screen-track-your-screen-time-and-improve-your-focus | 2023-12-01T15:53:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100290.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20231201151933-20231201181933-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.952112 | 1,181 | [

With a new PES announcement just around the corner, we take time to dissect what to expect from this years game.
Hype. It’s a dangerous word for any PES fan, and perhaps something that can be attributed to WENB more than the series over the years. From PES 2008 to 2010, the series went into decline, with rare moments of confidence in games that paled in significance compared to it’s PS2 heyday. As a fansite, and as a key component to gathering news for the series, we made mistakes in lead up to launch – something we apologized for in the past.
Then came the run up to PES 2011, and a promise from us to inform you as honestly as possible, and to try and gauge hype and excitement more accurately. I feel we did this better than ever, and what we got is a new game that brought back fans of the series and football fans alike. Sure the game has it’s issues, but for the first time we saw a clear direction from the team, and one which belonged to the consoles at hand. It was also clean slate, a fresh start you could say from the WEP team. A solid foundation to bring forward the ideas and representation of football Seabass and his team have envisaged for many years. And thats of course where PES 2012 comes in.
I’d like to take you to a conversation myself and Jon Murphy (PES Team Leader) had late last year when talking about this years game. While I can’t go into everything, the direction of the series came up many times. As we discussed this, it became clear to me just what PES 2012 would be, and that’s a game for the fans. As we delved into the specifics, even back then, Jon said one thing very important to me, and that’s the feedback collated would be key in shaping the future.
It might seem simple, or even expected, but it’s a choice which takes a lot of focus and motivation. As a games developer, there are many things that you yourself want to do, and even include in the series that might mean certain feedback isn’t attainable. But to base everything in what you do in what the fans want, well that’s a major decision.
I’ll use an example from the competitors camp. With the FIFA series, a focus on feedback and listening has always been there, but it’s clear the way it’s approached is very different. The company as a whole have a vast array of ideas, and the dev team (to their credit) are forever trying to think up the next big thing. Whether it be a brand new mode or important gameplay inclusion. This, as we’ve seen in the past years, has also brought many problems. EA’s inability to be happy with what they have and improve has caused things like manager mode/career mode to be severely flawed. Fans of the game would have been happy for EA to keep the mode as it was, and fix bugs while adding key features. With the ethos of doing something more, the FIFA team have continually struggled to hit solid ground, forcing themselves to always do something new, scared of being seen as standing still.
So this is where PES 2012 comes back in. It’s a game that has a team focused on a different ideology, and belief in what they want. Much can be said of the working environment the WEP team find themselves, void of the pressures of accumulating massive sales that hang over EA. For them it’s a clear path, a path which includes making a game the fans want to see post PES 2011.
Recently I posted on the boards how amazed I was how much feedback was already implemented into PES 2012. Elements that caused most frustrations had been either improved or completely redone, with further focus on getting everything that the fans wanted into the game. And that’s what I feel PES 2012 will become. PES 2011 had some good moments, and some fantastic elements that rang true to any real life football fan. Rather than trying to re-write history, they’ve decided to take stock of the situation, and build on the game that brought them back so many fans – critically and sales wise.
If there might be some of you out there reading this now expecting PES 2012 to be a ‘fixed’ PES 2011, then perhaps I’ve done my job of tempering excitement. At the same time if you do truly think that, then once the game has been announced you’ll be pleasantly surprised. While the focus of the game is to act on feedback the fanbase has been excellent in providing, the team have had ample time to add a whole host of elements fresh and new that will blow your mind.
And I’ll leave it there, as I wouldn’t want to spoil the surprises ahead, or been accused of building hype. After all, does a great game need any hype to precede it? I’ll let you decide.
Watch out for our podcast Tuesday evening for more, with some further insight on what could be a massive shake up for PES and it’s future. That change? PES Director Shinji Enomoto being promoted to Vice President of Konami. Massive implications, all incredibly positive.

After what feels like years of waiting, we are finally approaching the brink of summer. Soon, it will be the season where we can wear dresses, shorts, sandals and all of our other summer pieces without fear of catching a cold or getting rained on. If you also live in the UK, you are sure to understand what a big deal that is!
As if that wasn’t reason enough to love summer, this is also the best time of year for exploration and travel. For those of you who are yet to decide on a summer holiday destination yet, here are two completely different options that are likely to pique your interest as well as what to wear while you’re there.
What To Do:
Whether you’re travelling alone, with friends or with your significant other, Paris is always a good idea. After all, who would want to miss out on the chance to sip coffee and munch on croissants while basking in the glory of Notre Dame, the Eifel Tower or the Louvre? Plus, for the shoppers out there The City of Love is also home to a variety of stores including intimate boutiques as well as some of the top designer retailers in the world such as Chanel, Sessun and Cancan.
What To Wear:
Parisian style is based entirely on the idea of remaining chic yet tailored; stylish but with a decidedly conservative edge. Usually, French socialites tend to adhere to the “no more than three colours” rule and opt for neutral tones over bright, flashy hues. Fortunately, it is easier to recreate this style than you might think. All you need is some well-fitting ankle-length jeans, some tidy pumps and a shirt with a feminine edge to emulate Parisian elegance like a pro.
What To Do:
For those of you who fancy going further afield this summer, how could Las Vegas possibly be ignored? In fact, if you have a bit of a wild side there are few places that will suit you better than this not-so-humble Nevada desert town. Las Vegas is home to The Strip after all: 4.2 miles packed full of hotel resorts, entertainment venues and restaurants. There, you’ll find some of the most famous casinos and games in the world including roulette, poker and slots such as those in the NetEnt Rocks Trilogy. Those of you who have been tempted to try it yourself in the past by playing at tech-savvy online casinos such as Vegas Casino – which offers a variety of Vegas-style games including a live casino – are sure to understand exactly why Las Vegas is a great place to visit. You can also try the casino 500 bonus for more online fun.
What To Wear:
As you may imagine, styling in Las Vegas is a bit trickier than in Paris as there are no rules about fashion but many about attire. That is, you can wear whatever you please but there will be some venues that refuse entry if you’re looking a little too casual. Still, all you have to do is bear that in mind while packing and you should be fine: just opt for casual-formal attire. A nice dress or some tailored trousers with a smart top are sure to do the trick.
There you have it: two very different travel options for you to mull over this summer. Where are you planning to head this summer or are you yet to make a decision? Let us know in the comments below. | <urn:uuid:9d6e71ed-8ce7-480b-b56b-4605d6ff165b> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://fashionandstylepolice.com/tag/sessun/ | 2023-12-04T00:15:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100518.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20231203225036-20231204015036-00851.warc.gz | en | 0.961525 | 714 | [

“We have to look forward”
March 4, 2023
by Sascha Staat
After losing to host Germany by 6 goals on Friday, Hungary also dropped its second and last match at the 3-team tournament against Poiand 29-31(17:17). Left-wing Nadine Schatzl spoke about the performance of her team and lookes ahead towards the rest of the club season with Györ AUDI ETO KC.
After losing to Germany you also lost to Poland, how do you sum up the two matches?
NS: Well, I hoped for much more. I think against Poland we did better than against Germany, at least we almost scored 30 goals, not just 20. Unfortunately, we made a lot of easy mistakes. We have to work on that and also focus more on our tactics. On top of it we also have to improve our defense.
Do you have any explanation for it? Many of your teammates compete in the Champions- or in the European League and I think you should expect more?
NS: We also expected more, for sure. I don’t know why we played the way we did. Our training sessions during the week have been the way we wanted it to be. Obviously, we want to improve and get better. But, there is something in the team which doesn’t work and we have to find out what it is.
Do you think it could be a mental problem?
NS: Maybe – I’m not sure. We just have to find the answer. We have no other chance. Sure, we hope for Noemi Hafra to come back soon, but she will need some time to get back to her level. Some of the other players were not here because of family reasons. But, we have to look ahead, otherwise it won’t work out.
Still, you won’t have much time together before the playoffs for the World championship.
NS: Yes, that’s true. There won’t be much time. Now, we have to shift our focus to the club team before we are back with the national team. But, to be honest, I expected more and I’m really disappointed.
So, what’s on your mind when you think about your club team in Györ? After a rough start to the season, you caught some fire lately and were able to finish second behind Metz in the group.
NS: Yes, we had a poor start, but lately we showed an improved performance. Soon, we will have a very important game against FTC, so we need to find our rhythm right away once we get back home. We cannot afford to lose our rhythm and I hope all players will come back 100 percent.
Which team did impress you the most so far in this Champions League campaign?
NS: Well, I think there are four to five teams which are on the same level. To be honest, I was really impressed by Bietigheim in the beginning. They started extremely well – I don’t know what happened to them as nothing worked out for them anymore.
Usually, everyone points to Györ as the big favorite to win the EHF Champions League. What’s your reaction as a player?
NS: It’s quite tough, actually. Maybe a lot of people think is easy – it isn’t. There are plenty of good teams out there and they have a lot of quality. As I said before, it’s four to five teams who can win it all. I disagree when somebody says we are the big favorite. | <urn:uuid:3337ac34-bcb9-4203-92df-8cc78b8594ac> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.stregspiller.com/i-disagree-when-somebody-says-we-are-the-big-favorite/ | 2023-12-03T23:35:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100518.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20231203225036-20231204015036-00851.warc.gz | en | 0.980338 | 752 | [

The Presidio archaeology program explores, preserves, and shares the history beneath our feet.
The Presidio Trust manages more than 30 archaeological areas within the Presidio National Historic Landmark District (NHLD). These offer a long-term history of these lands – from the Indigenous Ramaytush Ohlone village that was here hundreds of years ago through the occupation of the U.S. Army.
Through our behind-the-scenes work and public programs, we preserve the sites so the public can learn from and enjoy them forever.
When the Presidio transitioned from a U.S. Army post to a national park site, its National Historic Landmark District status was updated to include all of the park’s important historic resources.
In addition to the buildings and cultural landscapes, more than 30 archaeological areas were found to be significant. These areas include the cornerstone of the Presidio Trust’s public archaeology program – the Spanish Colonial site El Presidio de San Francisco.
It also includes less well-known sites: forgotten cemeteries, shipwrecks, Indigenous shell mounds, and coastal fortifications. All of these help us understand American history and are protected under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA).
Presidio Trust archaeologists preserve these sites and avoid disruption during park improvement projects. We conduct investigation and research before projects begin and observe construction to make sure sensitive sites are protected.
The Presidio is one of the only national park sites in the country with an active archaeological dig, and it is home to the largest public archaeology project west of the Mississippi.
El Presidio de San Francisco – located near the Presidio Officers’ Club – is the only one of four Spanish fortifications and twenty-one missions in California located in a national park.
That means we can teach a large audience about this irreplaceable resource, the Spanish Colonial period in our nation’s heritage, as well as the methods of archaeology, history, and related sciences. We work with volunteers to engage the public and bring history alive.
The Presidio Archaeology Lab, located next to the Presidio Officers’ Club, is where a lively community engages in the stewardship of the Presidio’s rich archaeological heritage.
The lab demonstrates leadership in the field of archaeology through partnerships which develop innovative approaches to research, education, and preservation that enhance the understanding of our shared cultural heritage.
The lab’s goals are: | <urn:uuid:71d00707-06e7-4c60-bc09-d442f48212c2> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://presidio.gov/about/history/archaeology | 2023-12-06T10:44:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100593.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20231206095331-20231206125331-00651.warc.gz | en | 0.940952 | 519 | [

The sharp fall in rough diamond supplies from Russia due to economic sanctions has boosted demand for cheap lab-grown diamonds.
Rahul Guha, Director, Crisil Ratings, said rising natural diamond prices amind short supplies have fast-tracked shift in consumer interest to lab-grown diamonds, which are 50-60 per cent cheaper.
The market share of lab-grown diamonds is estimated to have expanded to about 8 per cent presently from less than 3 per cent two years ago, he said.
US sanctions on Russia
The US sanctions on Russian diamond mining company Alrosa following the invasion of Ukraine has cut rough diamond supplies by almost 30 per cent.
The State-owned company is the largest diamond producer globally and the supply constraint is expected to continue in the near future. This apart, the key buyers in the US and EU are insisting on certificates of origin resulting in prices shooting up by almost 30 per cent in last four months.
Subodh Rai, Chief Ratings Officer, Crisil Ratings, said while the price volatility is passed on through the polished diamond, the tepid demand has kept polished prices from fully catching up with rough prices this time around.
This could squeeze the operating profit of Indian diamond polishers by 75-100 basis points to 4-4.25 per cent this fiscal, he said.
Revenue to dip
Diamond industry revenue is set to reduce by 15-20 per cent to $20 billion this fiscal against last fiscal, following a double blow from falling demand and rising prices of roughs across the globe.
A surge in Covid cases has led to lockdown in several regions in China, one of the largest consumers of Indian polished diamonds.
The pent-up demand and strong festival season saw Indian diamantaires stocking up on rough diamonds in the second half of the last fiscal. While the polished exports grew 48 per cent on-year last fiscal, rough diamond imports were up 74 per cent, with almost 40 per cent registered in the March quarter.
The huge inventory build-up was corrected in the first quarter of this fiscal, following the onset of the Russia-Ukraine war at the fag-end of last fiscal and disruptions in the Chinese market because of new variants of Covid. | <urn:uuid:6f6161d6-8c18-46cf-bbc3-94d7127ebf42> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/markets/commodities/sanctions-against-russia-boost-demand-for-lab-grown-diamond-says-crisil/article65681309.ece | 2023-12-06T12:09:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100593.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20231206095331-20231206125331-00651.warc.gz | en | 0.945314 | 455 | [

There is only so much you can do in a small town. As a teenager, your best bet is making a group of friends with whom you can spend time gallivanting around, indulging in the usual teenager-y stuff: riding motorcycles at questionable speeds, gossiping about anyone and everyone in sight, and spending time mooning over less-than-stellar significant others. The limited socio-cultural scene of small towns in India offers little for those interested in more contemplative pursuits. That is to say, except for walking lazily along your terrace at night and braving the cold to revel in your solitude for extended periods of time.
Speaking as someone who has almost-chronic difficulty adhering to a schedule, going for a walk on the terrace in the evenings is probably the one thing I do every single day without fail. There is an ethereal quality to these walks in that the time I spend on my terrace just walking around and staring at the sky feels so different from the rest of the day. It is guilt-free and feels like the only portion of the day where I can actually breathe.
The evening sky’s muted hues provide an ideal background for coming to terms with the trials and errors of another day gone by, the descending darkness bringing with it a sense of security, of being away from the watchful and mostly judgemental eyes of much-dreaded neighbours and family members, leaving me alone enough to take in all of the world’s sights and sounds as they come in, without the need for withdrawing into myself which so often characterises my afternoons. Thus cocooned in darkness, I exist in a space far away from the worrying realities of the life that I lead within the four walls of my home, if only for a few moments.
On the surface, walking as an activity seems to be relatively simple; you put one foot in front of the other and cover your terrain, moving your feet in ways that you have been moving since you were a baby. And yet, walking as an activity has fascinated artists, scientists and writers alike for hundreds of years. In an age that espouses productivity almost as a virtue to the extent that we are forced to centre our entire existence around it, an act as simple as wandering – without any particular goal in sight – feels like an act of rebellion.
The blue silhouettes of the mountains against the evening sky serve as reminders of nature’s beauty and yet, they also serve as reminders of borders, both physical and metaphorical. They serve as reminders of the way your geographical location often determines who gets what opportunities and whose life is deemed worthy enough of being given a thirty second mention in national media. What does it mean to belong to the mountains? What does it mean to give your life to them, thereby surrendering all hopes of finding personal success in the wider world? What does it mean to be proud of your origins even as you wrestle constantly with how the barometer for success in your beloved hills seems to be escaping into the city?
Existential dilemmas aside, in suffocating Indian families, the terrace also serves as a site of relief, creativity and freedom, so much so that it can be considered a desi counterpart to Virginia Woolf’s conception of “a room of one’s own”. To look around at my neighbours’ terraces is to look at a microcosm of Indian women’s lives. I see teenagers talking to friends and lovers in hushed voices, conservative women letting their hair down without any hesitation, and newlywed wives calling their relatives away from the prying eyes of a home that they are forced to call their own in a town where women are often forced to get married almost as soon as they graduate.
This is not to say that the terrace is a mini-utopia where women are free to be themselves. In fact, the terrace is also a study in the gendered nature of rest and relaxation. Men are allowed to loiter, to walk freely without any chores troubling them whereas women in traditional Indian households seldom have the luxury of going to their terrace or any other place, for that matter, for the sole purpose of enjoyment. Even so, looking at these scenes is a bittersweet experience in that they give a picture of what women’s lives could potentially look like if they had unadulterated freedom but they are also a grim reminder of the societal and familial structures that force women to withdraw to the terrace in order to exercise the little freedom they have instead of being able to exercise that freedom in their homes.
How do you reconcile your love for the hills with the knowledge that staying back here means dealing with regressive structures like these and that leaving forever means having to go through your entire life wanting to return, to go back home?
Questions of identity, of the past and the future usually bubble up to the surface of my mind whenever I’m walking in the evenings; these walks provide an ideal environment for wrestling with questions and allow my thoughts to ferment. Not to mention that there is something deeply fulfilling about staying away from any devices and just basking in your thoughts for a while.

In 2007, Matt and I bought our first house and our goal was to flip it. It was definitely a great experience and we were successful! It’s crazy looking through these pictures because this is not our style at all but we were trying to make it pretty neutral. The house sold in September 2008! I didn’t take too many great pictures, not sure why but here are a few.
Tthere was red carpet in the kitchen!! I usually wore shoes in the kitchen until we started renos!
See the yellowish tinge on the before? that was from cigarette SMOKE! you can see the original colour on some of the spots where a hand towel hung and where a painting was hanging over the toilet, how disgusting!!
Hardest part of this house flip? I would say refinishing the floors… we always said that if we could get through that weekend then our relationship could withstand anything that came our way. Oh and painting the exterior brick on the house, that was tough. I’m not sure if I would do that again, it turned out pretty nice but I feel like it could have gone wrong easily and that would be a huge cost to fix. | <urn:uuid:25abb14f-c0a1-4618-8750-4bb32293231a> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://sweetmaplelife.ca/2013/11/07/throwback-thursday-past-renovations/ | 2023-12-08T23:02:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100779.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20231208212357-20231209002357-00451.warc.gz | en | 0.987034 | 251 | [

Slot machines have been the subject of numerous myths and misconceptions since their inception. These myths have only grown as online slots have gained popularity.
In this article, we will bust some common myths about online casino slots, explaining the reality behind them and helping you to play with confidence.
Myth 1: Slot Machines are Rigged
Many people believe that slot machines are rigged in favour of the house, but this is simply not true.
Slot machines are designed to provide a fair and random gaming experience. The payout percentages, known as return to player (RTP), are carefully calculated to ensure that both the player and the casino have a fair chance of winning.
Random Number Generators
A Random Number Generator (RNG) is a crucial component of online casino games. It’s the technology behind ensuring that the outcome of a game is completely random and not predictable, closely simulating the randomness of traditional, physical casino games.
In online slot games, the RNG will determine the position of the reels. So, when a player clicks the “spin” button, the RNG ensures that the outcome is purely chance-driven.
For games like online blackjack or roulette, the RNG decides the shuffle of the deck or where the ball will land on the wheel.
Ensuring that the RNG cannot be tampered with is critical. Players and operators both need to be confident that the game outcomes are due to chance and not any external intervention.
Myth 2: Hot and Cold Slots
Another common myth is the idea of “hot” and “cold” slots, which suggests that a slot machine can be on a winning streak or a losing streak.
The terms “hot” and “cold” are often used colloquially by players to describe a machine that is either frequently paying out (hot) or not paying out at all (cold) over a certain period of time.
However, the truth behind these terms in the context of modern online slots, which use sophisticated RNGs (Random Number Generators), is a bit more nuanced.
Online slots use Pseudorandom Number Generators (PRNGs) to determine the outcome of each spin. Every spin is independent of the previous one, meaning that there’s no inherent “memory” of past spins.
Therefore, a slot doesn’t become “hot” or “cold” based on outcomes.
Myth 3: Location Matters
Some players believe that the location of a slot machine within a casino can determine its likelihood of paying out.
This myth suggests that machines near entrances, exits, or high-traffic areas have higher payouts.
While casinos do strategically place slot machines, it is not for the reasons many players think.
The placement of machines is designed to create an appealing and diverse gaming environment, not to manipulate payouts.
BETFRED CASINO OFFER
GET UP TO 200 FREE SPINS!
The RNGs in each machine ensure that payouts are random and not influenced by location.
Myth 4: Due for a Win
Another popular myth is that a slot machine is “due” for a win after a long losing streak.
This idea is based on the belief that a machine must eventually pay out after a certain number of losses.
However, the RNG ensures that each spin is independent of the others. There is no predetermined number of spins before a win, and past spins have no influence on future results.
Myth 5: Using Club Cards Reduces Payouts
Some players believe that using a casino’s club card can reduce the payouts of slot machines.
The Purpose of Club Cards
Club cards are used by casinos to track player activity and reward them with perks and incentives. These cards have no effect on the actual gameplay or payouts of slot machines.
VAVE SPORTS OFFER
100% Cashback Bonus
The RNG determines the outcome of each spin, and using a club card will not alter the results in any way.
Myth 6: Online Slots are Less Fair
Some people believe that online slots are less fair than their land-based counterparts, suspecting that they can be more easily manipulated.
In reality, online slots are subject to strict regulations and licensing requirements, ensuring a fair gaming experience.
They use RNGs just like land-based slot machines, and reputable online casinos are regularly audited by third-party agencies to verify their fairness.
Myth 7: Changing Your Bet Amount Affects Results
Another common myth is that changing the amount you bet can influence the outcome of a spin, with some players believing that higher bets result in more frequent wins.
While betting strategies can be a fun part of playing slots, they do not affect the outcome of the game. The RNG determines the result of each spin, regardless of the bet amount.
Although higher bets may increase the potential payout, they do not increase the likelihood of winning.
In conclusion, many of the common myths about slot machines are based on misunderstandings about how the machines work and the role of RNGs in determining outcomes.
Understanding the truth behind these myths can help players enjoy a more informed and enjoyable gaming experience.
Remember, slot machines are meant to be a source of entertainment, so play responsibly and have fun!
- Are slot machines rigged? No, slot machines are not rigged. They use RNGs to ensure fair and random outcomes.
- Can I predict when a slot machine will pay out? No, it is impossible to predict when a slot machine will pay out, as each spin is independent and determined by the RNG.
- Do the locations of slot machines within a casino affect their payouts? No, the location of a slot machine in a casino does not affect its payouts. The RNG ensures that outcomes are random, regardless of the machine’s location.
- Do online slots have lower RTPs than land-based slots? Not necessarily. Online slots are subject to the same regulations as land-based slots and can have comparable RTPs. Always check the RTP of a specific game before playing.
- Can I increase my chances of winning by using a betting strategy? Betting strategies can add an element of fun to playing slots, but they do not affect the outcome of the game. The RNG determines the result of each spin, regardless of your betting strategy. | <urn:uuid:c62eeaf8-e595-4ea8-8dae-2026a2f6f1a3> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.thegamehunter.co.uk/guidestips/slotsmythsbusted/ | 2023-12-08T21:44:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100779.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20231208212357-20231209002357-00451.warc.gz | en | 0.928955 | 1,331 | [

By 1st Lt. Alejandra Fontalvo, 24th SOW.
The 21st Special Tactics Squadron assigned to Pope Field, North Carolina gathered with family and friends July 24, 2020 to watch the presentation of over 90 awards for the squadron’s most recent deployment in 2019, battling six extremist organizations across three areas of responsibility.
“The majority of you would rather receive a decoration in your team room, your office or at home maybe, and not in public, but it’s important,” said Lt. Col. Randall Harvey, former commander of the 21st STS and ceremony speaker. “It’s important for you, because you need to understand that we know what you do and what you sacrifice. It’s important for your families because they need to know your stories. It’s important for Americans out there to know what other Americans are doing on their behalf. Finally, it’s important for those who have come before us and those who are no longer with us. We owe it to them to be here and be standing strong.”
The presentations started by recognizing the members of the squadron who deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Freedom’s Sentinel. The Special Tactics unit served as primary tactical planners for infiltration, exfiltration, fires, as well as Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance taskings in the execution of 241 direct-action raids during an especially “kinetic winter fighting season”.
The team engaged in 235 firefights with hardened Taliban and ISIS-K fighters, controlled 4,985 aircraft, which conducted over 622 airstrikes on enemy targets, 235 of which were within “danger close” range. Their efforts removed 1,880 enemy personnel from the battlefield. Twelve Bronze Star Medals and four Bronze Star Medals with Valor were presented for actions contributed in this area of responsibility.
“In many ways it’s the greatest adventure to put yourself on the line… and step up when it counts the most,” said Harvey. “For some of you that line was a razor’s edge between life and death.”
In addition to the numerous precision strikes and direct action raids, the team made Special Tactics history by employing their leading global access capabilities. Specifically, one of the deployed teams single-handedly secured, established, controlled and commanded a mission support site during a 96-hour ST-organic and presidentially approved operation.
The squadron members deployed in support of Operation Inherent Resolve were also recognized for actions ranging from controlled fires, which put pressure on thousands of enemy fighters to surrender, to driving 190 joint and coalition missions and working with United Nations and Department of Defense partners to provide food and supplies to over 40,000 internally displaced citizens. Three additional Bronze Star Medals along with several Air Force and Army commendation medals were presented for OIR.
“You may not realize it, but you are the privileged ones,” said Harvey. “You are the privileged ones to have stepped into that arena and stepped on to the line when it mattered most. Many Americans will never know what that’s like.”
Lastly, a 12-person flight deployed to Africa was recognized for their integral role in building counter violent extremist capabilities with allied nations in Northwest and East Africa while navigating complex state and military systems to establish enduring Special Tactics-led foreign internal defense missions.
“In Africa, we partnered with key allies in Mali and Kenya, establishing new partnerships to integrate airpower into the ground scheme of maneuver… things no other [special operations force] can do out there,” said Harvey. “Our guys were on the ground day and night enhancing counterterrorism capabilities of these SOF units, while simultaneously reinforcing that the United States is the partner of choice in the region.”
The squadron’s Special Tactics leaders won approval from key Kenyan military leaders to craft and launch an air to ground integration training program for the Kenyan military, focused on improving tactics in the fight against Al Shabaab extremists. The program was deemed successful and sparked demand among Kenyan military and Air Force leaders for similar programs going forward.
“I want to say congratulations on a job well done,” said Harvey. “I’ll close with a quote from John F. Kennedy, he said ‘there are risks and costs to programs of action, but they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction.’ Thank you for being men and women of action.”
Special Tactics is U.S. Special Operation Command’s tactical air and ground integration force, and the Air Force’s special operations ground force, leading Global Access, Precision Strike, Personnel Recovery and Battlefield Surgery operations on the battlefield. Since 9/11, Air Force Special Tactics operators have been involved in almost every major operation and have seen a significant amount of combat. It is the most highly decorated community in the Air Force since the end of the Vietnam War.

Alejandra Fontalvo of the 24th Special Operations Wing Public Affairs, posted 29 July 2020 on DVIDS entitled “USAF Special Tactics unit recognized for deployment actions in fight against extremist organizations”.

Bravo Packing, Inc. Expands Previously Announced Voluntary Recall of Pet Food Products Due to Potential Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes Health Risks to Humans and Animals
Bravo Packing, Inc. of Carneys Point, NJ is expanding the previously announced voluntary recall of two pet food products to now include all pet food and bones in all package sizes. During an FDA inspection, samples collected tested positive for Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes and resulted in a recall due to the potential health risks to humans and pets. Bravo Packing, Inc. is expanding the recall due to potential cross contamination. (Full list of products below.)
Salmonella can cause illness in pets eating the products, as well as people who handle contaminated pet food products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products, infected pets, or any surfaces exposed to these products. People infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis (an infection of the heart muscle), arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. People who have these symptoms after having contact with the products identified in this recall or with a pet that has eaten these products should contact their healthcare providers. A pet with a Salmonella infection may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have decreased appetite, fever, and abdominal pain. If your pet has consumed the recalled products and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian. Pets exposed to contaminated food can be infected without showing symptoms. Infected pets, including those without symptoms, can also shed Salmonella through their feces and saliva, spreading pathogens into the home environment and to humans and other animals nearby.
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, Listeria monocytogenes infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
No human or animal illnesses related to the identified products have been reported to date.
Bravo Packing Inc. generally works with distributors that fill orders to retail stores and to consumers directly nationwide.
Consumers with any of the affected products should handle them with caution, discard products in a secure container, and wash hands and surfaces properly. Consumers with questions should contact Bravo Packing, Inc. at 856-299-1044 (Monday – Friday, 9:00 AM-2:00 PM, EST).

The blue and green bubble controversy is real. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you probably don’t use an iPhone–or, you don’t use one to send text messages to anyone else who doesn’t use an iPhone. If you did, their messages would appear in little green bubbles, a sign that even though you’re using the Messages app, many of the features you get when you send iMessages to another iPhone user aren’t available.
A lot has been written about the whole green bubble situation, including claims that Apple uses the green bubbles in order to flag non-iPhone users as second-class messaging partners on its platform. If that sounds ridiculous, consider that the stigma is real.
Mostly that’s because sending messages from an iPhone to any other device is a really bad experience. Your messages are sent and received as basic text messages, instead of using Apple’s encrypted protocol, which is called iMessage. I know, it’s confusing–iMessage is the service, and Messages is the app where you send messages, both text and iMessages.
When you send messages in the Messages app that aren’t iMessages, many of the features you might be used to aren’t supported–or at least, not supported well. You can’t reply in threads if someone in the group is on Android. You can’t add someone to a group. Tap backs–the feature that lets you “like” or “heart” a message–still don’t quite work right. They’ve gotten better but only because Google has made an effort to improve the experience–not Apple.
The point is that sending messages to someone with green bubbles is just a poor overall experience. Considering that sending text messages, in general, is something most iPhone users do a few dozen, or a hundred times a day, that’s a big problem.
The alternative, according to Google, is RCS, which stands for Rich Communications Services. It’s supposed to be the successor to the antiquated SMS protocol that made text messaging possible–in 1992.
The problem–again, according to Google–is that Apple isn’t playing nice and won’t adopt RCS, thereby forcing us all to live with a far worse messaging experience. The company even created a website to encourage people to “send a message to Apple” to “fix texting.”
“It’s not about the color of the bubbles,” the website says. “It’s the blurry videos, broken group chats, missing read receipts and typing indicators, no texting over Wi-Fi, and more. These problems exist because Apple refuses to adopt modern texting standards when people with iPhones and Android phones text each other.”
Except, and this is important, it’s not really worse if you only send messages to people with iPhones. If everyone you send text messages to uses iMessage, everything is great.
Of course, in the real world, there are a little more than 1.5 billion iOS devices and something like 3 billion Android devices. That means there’s a good chance you’ll eventually have to send a message to a coworker, or a friend, or a random family member who bought the least expensive smartphone they could find at the Verizon store.
When that happens, the experience is really terrible.
Although, now that we’ve mentioned Verizon, it’s interesting that Google doesn’t mention the nation’s largest wireless carrier. Verizon wasn’t exactly championing RCS–none of the major carriers were. Google basically took over the initiative to make it happen. It mostly worked, even Samsung now uses Google’s Messages app as the default option.
Of course, iMessage isn’t just a better experience for iPhone users. It’s also better for Apple since–as the company has previously acknowledged–it creates lock-in. Parents spend more money buying their high school student an iPhone since they want them to have iMessage. Friends feel peer pressure if their text messages show up in green bubbles. There are even stories that people are intentionally left out of group chats because they aren’t using an iPhone.
All of that pressure is a real reason people buy iPhones, which means Apple’s incentive isn’t to change–it’s to keep people buying iPhones. Apple could absolutely fix the things that are wrong with Messages, but that would require giving up some of its competitive advantages.
Here’s the thing: RCS basically includes all of the best features of the iMessage service–with the exception that it’s not end-to-end encrypted. It is, however, substantially better than SMS with the added benefit that it would also be agnostic towards the specific messaging app you use.
There’s a powerful lesson here, which is that sometimes doing the best thing for your customers means giving up a little control. It means making the experience better, even when it means you give up some of your competitive advantage. | <urn:uuid:8fd837d3-cd84-4934-bbef-fd3bd7e2aa3b> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://techtelegraph.co.uk/apple-is-getting-called-out-over-the-worst-thing-about-the-iphone-by-google/ | 2023-11-29T09:36:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100057.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20231129073519-20231129103519-00451.warc.gz | en | 0.930826 | 1,085 | [

Shares of FSNE-Commerce gambles Ltd, the parent of cosmetics-to-fashion retailer Nykaa, fell as much as 2 per cent on Monday after brokerage house Macquarie initiated content on the stock with an ‘underperform’ standing. The brokerage establishment kept a target price of ₹ 115 per share, motioning a strike of 22 percent from Nykaa’s current request price of ₹147.8 all. “With larger D2C brands decreasingly looking to move offline and guests demanding more physical stores to witness products, we believe Nykaa would need to reinvest influence earnings to sustain growth,” said the brokerage.
It also said that the entry of big players like Tata Cliq and Reliance Retail in the beauty perpendicular can complicate the problems for the incumbent. It must be noted that Reliance Retail lately forayed into the beauty ecommerce order with a platform named Tira. Shares of Nykaa fell as much as 2.8 to INR 145.55 on the BSE during the intraday trading on Monday.
Still, they recovered to end the day at INR 149.55. Beyond Nykaa’s beauty and particular care (BPC) member, Macquarie raised enterprises on the fashion vertical saying that its success in that business is yet to be proven. “We remain concerned about Nykaa’s capability to profitably grow in the fashion member where the company offers a curated business of third party/recently developed own vesture brands,” the brokerage note said. “An analysis of offline retailers indicates that players using a curation-led approach with third party brands have seen limited success,” according to the exploration note.
The brokerage also sees a delicate path to profitability with Nykaa entering the business of serving small pop stores, and hence contending with a well-waxed distribution network that comes with veritably thin periphery. Shares of Nykaa made an astral table on bourses on 10 November, 2021, rising 82 per cent to ₹ 2,054 on NSE against the IPO issue price of ₹ 1,125. The request cap of the company tumbled to ₹ 45,983 crore on BSE. | <urn:uuid:e87e8ad8-b146-4326-af19-d61465e8b6ce> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://entreprenuerstory.com/macquarie-kept-a-target-price-of-%E2%82%B9115-per-share/ | 2023-11-30T13:20:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100227.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20231130130218-20231130160218-00351.warc.gz | en | 0.94858 | 473 | [

Tax planning is tricky, but it can transform your finances if you do it right. A viable strategy can help you in more than one way. It can lower your bills with deductions and credits and prevent penalties and audits. Most importantly, it enables you to preserve your wealth by keeping your investments efficient, saving money on retirement withdrawals, and maximizing your estate in the long run. But getting the most out of tax planning requires an in-depth understanding and immense expertise in wealth management. You can get the best of both worlds by choosing a wealth advisor who specializes in tax planning. Let us explain why collaborating with such an expert makes sense.
They have a clear view of your financial picture
Taxes often take a backseat throughout the year, and most people think about them around the annual deadline. But planning for them should be a year-round job instead of a seasonal thing. A wealth expert who doubles up as a tax specialist takes a broad view of your financial picture, with elements like your income streams, cash flow, lifestyle needs, and savings considerations. They are in a better place to determine intentional strategies and implement them throughout the year to limit your final bill in the end. They can also guide you to make wise decisions that may affect current and future returns.
They can guide you toward a better investment strategy
Investments make a crucial element of an individual’s assets. A viable investment strategy is about low risk and high growth. Tax planning can also make a difference to your investment approach because you need to be conscious of them. You can rely on wealth management tax services to create a better investment strategy that remains lucrative and risk-free in the long run. These experts can guide you about investment factors such as asset location, tax-loss harvesting, and efficient withdrawal strategies. With their advice, you can build a robust portfolio while minimizing taxes.
They can help you with wealth accumulation
Another valid reason to work with a wealth advisor who also has tax expertise is that they can list ways to boost wealth accumulation. You can share your long-term financial goals with them and seek advice from a tax planning perspective. For example, they may recommend funding Roth accounts as a young professional when your taxable income is low. Avoiding unnecessary capital gains is also crucial as it can increase your liability. Additionally, experts suggest making the most of qualified charitable distribution (QCDs) for charitable giving purposes. Besides boosting your wealth with these strategies, these professionals offer proactive tax-saving recommendations to save your money. Every dollar saved adds up to your financial health in the long run.
Tax planning is a comprehensive process, so a one-size-fits-all approach is not the right way to handle it. You need a unique strategy that addresses your long-term plans and goals. Hiring an expert who knows the nitty-gritty of tax planning and wealth management gets you on the right side of both. | <urn:uuid:dbf01a58-8110-4fa2-aecb-1bdc0d17e025> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://gordontredgold.com/why-choose-a-wealth-advisor-specializing-in-tax-planning/ | 2023-12-01T19:58:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100304.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20231201183432-20231201213432-00251.warc.gz | en | 0.956339 | 589 | [

It’s fitting that Of Texas Rivers and Texas Art premieres at the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts, on the bank of the Concho River. The exhibition (February 16-April 9, 2017) features depictions of Texas river landscapes by 20 contemporary Texas artists, such as painters David Caton and Mary Baxter. Curators Andrew Sansom, director of the Meadows Center for Water and the Environment at Texas State University, and William E. Reaves, of Reaves | Foltz Fine Art in Houston, developed the exhibit to explore riverine themes in Texas art and emphasize the importance of water conservation. The exhibition next travels to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center (June 5–August 13, 2017) in Austin and the Witte Museum (September 2–November 27, 2017) in San Antonio.
