The gene encoding the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) HER2/neu/ErbB2 is an important human breast cancer oncogene, and a validated therapeutic target. We hypothesize that optimal development and use of ErbB2-targeted therapeutics will require a thorough understanding of the normal biological functions of ErbB2 and its regulation by interactions with other ErbB family receptors.
Aim 1 continues our analysis of normal functions of ErbB2 and ErbBS in mammary gland development.
Aim 2 investigates a new hypothesis in which excessive signaling through ErbB2 drives genomic instability in breast cancer through actuation of DNA checkpoint signaling and selection for checkpoint bypass.
Aim 3 will evaluate phosphorylation markers for measuring for ErbB and pathway activation in human cancer n the best-case setting of core biopsies. The significance of these studies extends well beyond breast cancer, since the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) and ErbB2 are mutated or overexpressed in many types of adenocarcinoma. Since ErbBs are forefront targets for new RTK inhibitors in cancer treatment, success of our efforts to merge ErbB biology with tumor studies will pave the way for similar approaches to cancers caused by other RTKs.

News: 94% of patients who died from COVID-19 had complicating conditions, data confusion surrounding virus risk
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently updated their COVID-19 dashboard to include information about patient outcomes and comorbid conditions. While CDI professionals are well acquainted with the impact of comorbid conditions on patient severity of illness, risk of mortality, resource consumption, length of stay, and the like, the new data has caused a bit of a stir in the general American public.
Following a Twitter post by President Donald Trump containing an erroneous claim about COVID-19 mortality statistics released contained in the dashboard, many Americans are understandably confused as to what the CDC statistics actually mean for COVID-19 risk of mortality.
The CDC data states that (emphasis added), “For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death.”
Some people have expressed confusion over this statement following the president’s tweet, believing that only 6% of deaths attributed to COVID-19 were actually caused by the virus. This confusion has led to some reaching the conclusion that COVID-19 is far less dangerous than originally thought. However, the statistics actually show that of those who died due to COVID-19, the virus was the only cause of death 6% of the time. The other 94% of people who died from COVID-19 in the United States had other conditions that contributed to their death in addition to the virus.
This echoes information that public health officials have shared since the pandemic’s start that people with underlying health conditions are at higher risk of complications and death due to COVID-19. Such underlying health conditions include chronic lung problems, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and renal disease, among others.
As of August 22, there were 161,392 COVID-19 deaths in the United States. On the same date, there were also 167,432 respiratory disease comorbidities listed on death certificates such as pneumonia, respiratory arrest, and respiratory failure (keep in mind that death certificates could have COVID-19, pneumonia, and respiratory failure all as cause of death). There were 110,355 circulatory diseases listed as an additional cause of death, 14,053 listed sepsis, and 25,936 listed diabetes, according to the CDC.
The high instances of comorbidities and additional causes of death illustrate the complications associated with COVID-19 that can increase a patient’s risk of mortality. The 6% who had just COVID-19 as a cause of death, it can be assumed, had no other complications such as renal failure or respiratory arrest—though CDI professionals know that complicating conditions can go un- or under-documented. Of course, this points back to the importance of documenting all comorbidities and related conditions on a patient chart. Not only does CDI work ensure that the patient’s record is accurate and complete, but it also provides reliable data for public health initiatives during the pandemic. | <urn:uuid:78b85b3e-787a-4d92-8f62-a782330cb4da> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://acdis.org/articles/news-94-patients-who-died-covid-19-had-complicating-conditions-data-confusion-surrounding | 2022-09-27T13:13:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335034.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220927131111-20220927161111-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.970475 | 657 | [

I was delighted to discover an alpaca farm in Mississippi and marked my calendar to make the short trip to Stringer, Mississippi for a visit. Each year the farm has a fall festival and it was a wonderful experience.
This working alpaca farm is located just a few miles north of Laurel, Mississippi. These gentle hills and rural landscape are right in tune with the popular television show, Home Town on HGTV starring local residents Erin and Ben Napier.
But at A Stroka Gene Us, the alpacas are the stars of the show. For the fall fiber festival, alpacas corralled into a small pasture near the festival entrance. The animals were eager to meet their visitors – especially with a hand full of alpaca snacks readily available.
The parking area was filling fast, but there was no need for concern as we were efficiently guided to an open parking space near the entry.
Our trip included visiting with the alpacas and other farm animals, carding and spinning demos, shopping with the product and food vendors, and a stop at the gift shop.
Here’s the rundown of our day.
The farm began in New York and relocated to Mississippi in August 2012. It’s a working farm with many different activities at any time. In addition to the care of the 30+ alpacas on site, the staff teaches classes in spinning fiber, crocheting, knitting, needle felting and more. Ask for a class and they can probably help you learn some fiber skills! Mary Ann Stroka is the resident expert on fiber creations and we toured the main operating areas together.
The Huacaya alpacas gathered near the fence in the petting area. They weren’t shy and are very inquisitive animals. Notice the beautiful colors in their coats. Our tour covered the A-Z of life with alpacas – the care and feeding, shearing process, carding the fiber, spinning, and finally some ready-to-crochet yarns in the farm store.
Alpaca fleece is fine and lightweight. It does not retain water and is somewhat water resistant in a finished product. This fiber was nature’s way of providing for the animals when they lived in the harsh climates of South America’s mountain ranges.
Tip: When working with alpaca garments, care is important for the longevity of the finished garment. After handwashing, rinse the garment twice in clean, cold water. Gently squeeze out the excess water by hand. Be very gentle to avoid stretching and wrinkles. Lay the clothing between two large towels and then slowly roll the towels to absorb more of the moisture while holding the proper shape. Let the garment “rest” in the towels for a few minutes. Lay the garment flat on a dry towel to finish the care process. Do not hang to dry or use a drying machine.
Vendors and Festival Activities
The Gift Shop and Product Sales Center
My day at the festival ended in the farm store/gift shop. The room was packed with everything from raw fiber to completely finished products. There was truly something for everyone!
The End of the Day
Yes, it was a full day of adventure at A Stroka Gene Us, and I enjoyed every minute. This guy checked out before the festival ended, but his work was done.

Successful websites are user-focused. In order to develop and maintain a user-focused website, you will need to consider and analyze your target market. Ask yourself the 22 questions below to identify your target market and develop a plan to meet their needs with your website.
- What is their age?
- What is their sex?
- What is their income?
- What is their geographic location?
Knowing the demographics of your target market will affect how you design your website and how you market your products and services. Design aspects such as color and graphics should reflect the audience that you are targeting. Demographics will have an even larger impact on how and where you advertise. For example, if you are targeting a local audience, advertising on national websites will be a waste of money.

5. Will they be looking for information or entertainment?
Websites that primarily exist to provide information will typically feature fewer graphics to make the text stand out more. Information seekers want to be able to quickly find what they are looking for and are usually not interested in bells and whistles.
Websites that primarily exist to provide entertainment will use more pictures, video, and sound as the text has less value. Visitors looking for some type of entertainment will want more of a visually-appealing website.
6. What is their level of knowledge on your subject?
Websites that market to a knowledgeable audience in a specific niche market will be able to use more industry-specific language or jargon than a website that reaches a general audience. If you are marketing to visitors with a lower level of knowledge of your subject be sure to explain things in a way that they will understand. If you are targeting a more specific audience, over simplification may bore them.
7. How will you provide products and services to them?
Most websites are intended to produce income for the business. Some will sell products directly from their website and others will provide information about their services like an advertisement would. Knowing your audience can help you to determine how your business can benefit from your website.
8. What types of products and services will they need?
Statistics show that about 80% of a website’s visitors find the site through a search engine. Think about what your prospective visitors will be searching for, and what they will expect to find at your website.
Related reading: Characteristics of a Good Website
9. Will they be interested in purchasing a product?
Some visitors will be looking to buy while others will be looking for information. Knowing the mindset of your visitors can help you to market to them more efficiently.
10. Will they be concerned with privacy?
11. What will make them feel more comfortable with you?
If you hope to sell products online you must provide enough information to make visitors feel comfortable about buying from you. Consider the following options:
- Provide complete contact information including address and phone number.
- Display testimonials from customers.
- Offer a money-back guarantee.
- List any professional memberships such as a chamber or commerce, BBB or other associations.
Related reading: 21 Ways Your Audience Affects Your Design
12. Will they be using a high-speed internet connection or dial-up?
Designing a site with a lot of pictures and video will decrease your effectiveness if most of your visitors are using a dial-up connection. On the contrary, if most of your visitors are using high-speed connections you have more freedom to use the elements in your design. Many statics programs, including Google Analytics, will provide you with information regarding the connection speed of your visitors.
13. Will they be familiar with RSS?
If your site publishes an RSS feed, your visitors should be familiar with RSS. If they are not, consider explaining RSS to them.
14. What other websites will they visit?
If you plan to do any advertising online, it is crucial to consider which websites your target audience will be visiting. Advertising on these sites will usually give you the best return on your advertising expenses.
15. Which search engines will they use?
Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising is one of the easiest ways for a new website to start advertising. Google and Yahoo have the largest PPC programs and receive the most searches. If you are only targeting a local audience, some PPC programs, such as Google’s, will allow you to specify what geographical area you want your ad to be shown in.
16. What publications are they likely to read?
Advertising in printed publications is also an option. In this case, choosing a publication that has a similar target audience will produce the best results.
If You Are Selling
17. Will they trust you enough to make an online purchase?
Some people are still very hesitant to purchase items online. Using a well-known and trusted service provider such as Verisign or Paypal may help some of these people to feel more comfortable. Both of these companies provide graphics that you can display on your website to show your commitment to your users’ security.
18. Would they prefer to purchase by phone or mail instead?
Providing additional purchasing options may increase your sales.
19. What will motivate them to buy?
Knowing your visitors’ needs and wants will help you to market your products and services more effectively. Try to provide answers to their questions and overcome their objections for purchasing.
20. Will they have a sense of urgency?
Products that may be needed immediately will sell better as downloadable products. Higher prices can sometimes be charged because of their need and the convenience that you are providing.
21. What additional products might your customers be interested in?
Add-on products and product bundles can help to increase sales revenue. If you don’t have any additional products to sell, consider promoting an affiliate product as an add-on. To find affiliate products that would be appropriate, visit www.cj.com or www.clickbank.com.
22. How can you convert your customers into repeat customers?
Following up with your customers by email, mail, or telephone can help to increase the likelihood that they will buy again. A popular method is to combine add-on products with your follow-up. Try sending an email to your customers thanking them for the purchase and provide information about some of your other related products or services. | <urn:uuid:f218c674-9055-481b-8389-07751ae44a05> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.vandelaydesign.com/22-questions-to-ask-yourself-about-your-websites-visitors/ | 2022-09-30T05:57:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335444.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20220930051717-20220930081717-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.937885 | 1,381 | [

Book Riot’s Favorite Bookstores in All 50 States + DC
I love all the bookstores they list for DC, so I trust the other recommendations. I wish I could visit them all!
What’s in a Name?
I can only imagine how difficult it is for authors to choose the perfect name for their characters. Would we perceive beloved characters differently if they had a different name? Fun to think about…
The Other Side of Green Gables
An interesting article on the new Netflix series “Anne with an E.” Director Moira Walley-Beckett, a former writer for “Breaking Bad,” explores the darker side of Anne in her version of the beloved book. I’m intrigued, but as a huge fan of the 1985 version, so I’m a bit wary of this reboot.

Is vodka the only alcohol that doesn’t freeze?
But vodka isn’t the only type of liquor whose alcohol content gives it a freezing point colder than most freezers. While “this explains why some people like to enjoy a nice cold shot of vodka straight from the freezer,” Mercree explains, liquors like whiskey and rum have comparable amounts of alcohol.
Why does Hennessy not freeze?
The main reason why it will not freeze is the high percent alcohol the spirit contains. If Hennessy is stored in a freezer but does not reach -16 °F, it will just get cold. If the temperature drops to -16 °F, the thickness of the liquid increases, but it won’t taste good for some.
Does Bourbon freeze?
4. Will my Bourbon or Liquor Freeze at Home? For bourbon and whiskies which are generally 40% alcohol (80 proof) and higher, you don’t have to worry about freezing the bottle solid, even if stored in the freezer at home. Freezers at home generally bottom out at -17F (-27C).
Does Scotch freeze in freezer?
Does Whisky Freeze? Whisky won’t turn solid even if you leave it in the freezer for hours or days; this is assuming that you have a standard home freezer. However, whisky is a liquid, and all liquids can freeze when the temperature is right. A standard, commercial freezer can produce cold temperatures as low as -18C.
Can you freeze Jack Daniels?
Does Jack Daniels Freeze In The Freezer? No, Jack Daniels will not likely freeze in a freezer. Since a bottle of Jack Daniels is 70 proof, your freezer would have to be set to below 0°F for the bottle to freeze. However, you should still make sure to keep it from being stored there for an extended length of time.
Is tequila supposed to freeze?
Yes, tequila can be frozen but not a solid freeze. However, it requires a very cold or low temperature to be chilled. A typical freezer at home is incapable of doing this feat. Tequila is tough to freeze since it is normally 40% alcohol by volume, containing high alcohol content.
Does rum freeze?
Pure rum shouldn’t freeze until the temperature falls to minus 27 C (-17 F), so it is safe in your freezer. Rum liqueurs have a lower ABV and therefore freeze more easily.
Can Malibu freeze?
This is why lower-proof alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine coolers and even some liquors such as Malibu rum will freeze in a freezer. Mixing alcohol with other liquids such as sodas and fruit juices also raises the freezing temperature of the drink and could result in part of the drink turning into slush.
Does Jameson freeze?
The temperature is less than 4°F (-18°C), meaning that it won’t freeze.
Does vodka freeze in the freezer?
Due to its ethanol content, vodka will not actually freeze solid until it reaches a temperature of -16 degrees Fahrenheit. Standard freezers are 0 degrees Fahrenheit, but that is still too cold for premium vodka. The optimal drinking temperature of vodka is somewhere between 32-39 degrees Fahrenheit.
Does gin freeze?
Gin doesn’t freeze because its ABV (that’s its ‘alcohol by volume’ level) is at least 37.5% – which is too high to turn into ice in the temperatures an average household freezer can achieve.
Does fireball freeze?
Fireball Cinnamon products are lower in alcohol than Fireball Whisky, so they will likely freeze when placed in a standard home freezer typically set to 0°F. Freezers also have an uneven distribution of temperature which means that parts of the freezer are much colder than other parts.
What is the diff between bourbon and whiskey?
Whiskey is a distilled spirit made from grains like corn and rye and aged in wooden barrels. Bourbon is a type of whiskey, and there are strict rules in place to ensure its quality. Bourbon must be made in the US, distilled from at least 51% corn, and aged in new oak-charred barrels. | <urn:uuid:8d936a32-7b10-456d-bed2-cd0befa2eb04> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://thelarimer.com/vodka/what-liquor-does-not-freeze.html | 2022-10-02T22:05:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337360.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20221002212623-20221003002623-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.935171 | 865 | [

Research from Canada suggests that a heart attack is six times more likely to occur within a week after coming down with the flu. Doctors have observed this connection for some time, but the Canadian research is the first to document its frequency. A team from Toronto’s Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences and Public Health Ontario compared data on people who had been diagnosed with the flu with heart attack hospitalizations between 2009 and 2014. Specifically, they looked at nearly 20,000 adults age 35 and older in Ontario who had laboratory confirmed flu and found that 332 of these individuals suffered a heart attack within one year. The risk of heart attack also rose after other respiratory infections but not as high as it did after the flu.
Lead researcher Jeffrey Kwong, M.D. said that the patients in the study probably had more severe cases of the flu since they saw their physicians and had diagnostic lab tests. He added that it isn’t clear that the heart attack risk seen in the study applies to people who suffer milder cases.
Those most likely to suffer a heart attack after influenza were over the age of 65 with other risk factors for heart disease such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes. The median age for those affected was 77.
The study didn’t determine what it is about the flu that increases the risk of heart attack. Dr. Kwong suggested that flu-related inflammation might play a role and notes that influenza stresses the body – oxygen levels and blood pressure can drop, increasing risk of clot formation in the blood vessels serving the heart.
The researchers reported that only 30 percent of the study population had had the flu shot and noted that reducing the risk of flu by having the vaccine should also reduce the risk of heart attacks. “People at risk of heart disease should take precautions to prevent respiratory infections, and especially influenza, through measures including vaccination and hand washing,” Dr. Kwong advised. The American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology recommend an annual flu shot for people with cardiovascular disease. I recommend it for everyone over age 65. Beyond that, be sure to take common sense steps to prevent the flu – wash your hands frequently, stay away from anyone who has the flu or another respiratory infection, and be sure to stay at home if you get sick to avoid infecting others.

As we get ready to say goodbye to summer, we can certainly say hello to some exceptional summer sales. Here are a few of the best deals you will find this month:
August is National Eye Exam Month, so expect to find deals to help keep your eyes healthy. Check out EyeCare America to find out if you qualify for a no-cost eye exam. If your insurance doesn't cover eye exams, see if there is a college of optometry close to you. Often, these colleges will have clinics where students and professors offer exams and other treatments at a low cost. And don't forget to check out the discount and value eye care centers at Costco, Sam's Club and Sears Optical.
Fortunately, you do not need to be a student to take advantage of back to school savings. You will find plenty of items you can use around the house or at the office on deep discount. Take advantage of deals at office supply stores as they compete for the back-to-school business. You will usually find a few of what retailers call "loss leaders". These are Items priced ridiculously low, and which the retailer knows they'll take a loss on, to entice shoppers to come in. I have found notebooks and sets of pens for as little as a quarter.
Electronics are usually priced to sell at this time of year, so if you are in the market for a new printer or laptop, or a phone or tablet, now may be the time to shop. Sign up for your office supply store's rewards program. If you are a teacher, make sure you let the store know. They typically offer some additional discount for teachers. Apple offers an educational and student discount on a range of items, including Apple Care.
Throughout the month of August many states will offer tax-free weekends. There are specific dates when back to school items are sold tax-free. This can include clothes, supplies, shoes and electronics. Check out the Federation of Tax Administrators and Sales Tax Institute to find out what's happening in your state.
If you are in the market for a new bike, August is a great month to get a deal. Similar to cars, new designs for bikes will hit the stores starting in September. This means cycling shops will begin to make room for the newer models. Look for deals on 2019 designs. And unlike cars, the central mechanical designs of bikes remain the same for a couple of years. So, the new models may have more current colors and markings. See about buying a floor sample to score an even better deal. These are bikes people may have test ridden. Just make sure you get the full warranty with your purchase.
And let's not forget the vino. It's harvest time in wine country everywhere. Vineyards harvest in the late summer and early fall, and this is a great time to find deals on wine. When you find a winery you like, sign up to get better deals on wine and shipping, and on special events wineries often hold in the fall. Local grocery stores and wine shops may offer a 10% or higher discount when you buy wine by the case.

Smart precincts to predict the future of workplaces
Trends including the impact of automation and other technologies on employment and the development of smart cities will trigger an evolution of the smart precinct, acting as a testbed for urban innovation and workplace trends, according to real estate group Mirvac.
In a new discussion paper, Mirvac and knowledge platform WORKTECH Academy argued that smart precincts are providing an insight into the future of work and how urban environments will be reshaped over the next 20–30 years.
Changing demographics of urban populations, sustainability and advances in technology such as AI and robotics are acting as global drivers for the evolution of smart precincts, according to Mirvac GM of Workplace Experiences Paul Edwards.
“Striking a balance between the human experience and the rise of technology is at the heart of future development and will be key to creating vibrant, collaborative and inclusive cities for generations to come,” Edwards said.
“AI and robotics will play an increasingly prominent role in smart precincts, from the garbagebots that will collect the rubbish to the chatbots that will replace humans in many routine office jobs. The need to reskill our workforces in the face of this automation will bring the education and lifelong learning mission of the smart precinct to the fore.”
Mirvac’s own planned Australian Technology Park in Eveleigh, Sydney, has incorporated many of the concepts explored in the discussion paper.
These include a design involving the sharing of space by large corporates and start-ups, and a “new bargain” whereby technology companies, citizens and city planners will strike a deal to ensure all parties benefit from the flow of data within smart precincts.
The precinct is expected to house the first rooftop farm in Australia, be a zero carbon building and be powered by solar panels located throughout the precinct.
The precinct will include Hoist, a space for start-ups and scale-ups to conduct idea prototyping and experimenting.
At a launch event for the discussion paper held at Mirvac’s headquarters at the EY centre, global workplace experts presented their visions for the future of the smart precinct.
WORKTECH Academy Chairman and Unwork and Ungroup CEO Philip Ross predicted the next phase of the evolution of the workplace will see the re-emergence of medieval-style guilds.
“As location becomes less important for workers, we are likely to see a return to the origin of cities where guilds were the focal points of business — places for like-minded people to gather and share ideas based on their skills or profession,” he said.
Mirvac acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters of Australia, and we offer our respect to their Elders past and present.

I honestly can't say enough good things about this dog food. I finally found the perfect dog food that doesn't upset my dog's stomach and no more dark eye stains. I also tried the wet food and he loves it as well.
I was recommended by a pet store employee when my dog had a stomach problem. He hasn’t had any problems since I changed his food to this one!
It’s a great choice, love the limited ingredients and how it works for my dogs coat, would for sure recommend to others wondering if they should buy it or not.
Item has not been opened yet but package arrived in good shape. Don’t expect any issues. UPS dropped package on our lane not at our front door as tracking info reported. I have attempted to reach out to the driver. Perhaps a new UPS employee or contract employee who thought that was ok. It isn’t with the uptick in “package pirates.” My first experience ordering from you was positive otherwise. Thank you.
So far so good. Josie isn't a picky eater, so no issues with switching her food. The food arrived quickly. Overall, a good purchase.

On September 22, we told you the e-Golf would be no more, but that the eighth-generation Golf would get another PHEV option besides the GTE. That was the intel Autocar had on the matter, and it proved to be accurate when the new vehicle was presented on October 24. With a 13 kWh Li-Ion battery pack good for a range of around 60 km (37 miles).
Gallery: Check Images Of The Eighth-Generation Golf GTE
The new Golf sits on an improved MQB platform, but changes have been minimal regarding dimensions. The total length grew just 2 cm (0.8 in). The wheelbase remains the same (2.64 m) while width (1.79 m, against 1.80 m) is marginally smaller. The main difference in terms of dimensions relates to height: it is now 3 cm lower (1.46 m instead of 1.49 m). The trunk still has 380 l (13.4 ft³).More VW EV News:
The plan for the MQB and modular architectures, in general, is precisely to change the idea that a model is only new if it has a new platform. The most important aspects of the new Golf are probably just an improved carryover from the Golf VII.
Regarding the Golf part that is our concern, Volkswagen left the role the e-Golf had to be entirely covered – and exceeded – by the ID.3. Anyway, the Golf will still have two options to plug-in.
While the GTE delivers 241 hp (180 kW), Volkswagen speaks of a new “efficiency version” that produces 201 hp and has no defined name so far. We’ll call it merely PHEV for the time being.
With the 13-kWh battery pack we mentioned before, both versions manage to travel around 10 km (6.2 mi) more than its competitors, which shows VW has put hard work on reducing the weight and improving aerodynamics.
Unfortunately, Volkswagen did not release the weight of the GTE or the PHEV version. The company informs the drag coefficient has been reduced to 0.275, but it was previously in 0.27 on the Golf BlueMotion. That said, it may be actually higher on the newer Golf.
What seems to be really lower is the frontal area. Volkswagen claims to have reduced it to 2.21 m² but did not reveal how much the former car presented. We have searched for previous official information on that and found nothing. An article from CarMag.co.za reports 2.59 m².
Besides that, Volkswagen says the car is almost totally digital now and that it has Car2X, a device that allows it to communicate with other vehicles and even infrastructure with the same sort of communication equipment. It would be standard when the car deliveries start in December. | <urn:uuid:d88052fd-efb5-4457-9b6e-0d090aa9ac08> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://insideevs.com/news/378473/egolf-dead-golf-viii-phev/ | 2022-10-06T22:42:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337889.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20221006222634-20221007012634-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.949941 | 586 | [

How Grossman sticking around will affect the depth chart in 2020
Of the Oakland A’s players that were tendered contracts on Monday, Robbie Grossman is perhaps the most surprising. Grossman is coming off a somewhat disappointing season and plays a position that is crowded in Oakland, but he’s an established big leaguer and almost certainly would have been picked up by someone else if the A’s had decided to move on. What did Oakland like about Grossman and what does this mean for the outfield situation next year?
An outfield can never have enough depth, as the A’s found out last year. Injuries to Stephen Piscotty and Ramon Laureano gave Mark Canha and Robbie Grossman many more plate appearances than expected in 2019. By the end of the season, even the formerly unknown Seth Brown was getting regular at-bats for the big club.
Grossman provides depth and, as a switch-hitter, also provides a left-handed bat in a lineup that is heavy on righties. Oakland has a bevy of upcoming lefty or switch-hitting outfielders in the upper minors (Brown, Dustin Fowler, Skye Bolt, and Luis Barrera) but, evidently, the front office feels that Grossman is currently the best option, or at least a safe option worth keeping around. Brown pushed him for playing time in left field at the end of the year, making 11 starts there in September alone while Grossman made only nine starts that month (and mostly in right field). But the fact that Grossman was tendered a contract suggests they aren’t just planning to hand the position to a rookie in 2020.
Grossman had a poor offensive season last year, with his BA, OBP, and OPS all significantly lower than they had been in three solid seasons with the Twins. However, his season stats were greatly impacted by a very slow start and an even worse finish. During the meat of the season, his numbers were pretty solid — he hit .300 in June with an OPS over .800, and in July and August his OBP jumped up to .375 and .374, respectively. He also won some games with huge hits, including a walk-off knock against the Astros on August 16 and this two-run triple against the Angels in September:

— Oakland A’s (@Athletics) September 5, 2019
Underlying these improvements was a massive uptick in BABIP, suggesting that his early-season struggles may have been at least partly due to bad luck. He’s typically had a high BABIP in his career so maybe there’s something about his approach that affords him above-average success when putting the ball in play. He generally ranks near the bottom of the league in hard hit percentage and barrel percentage according to Statcast, so it’s a bit of a mystery.
Grossman also provides value as a defender, as he was a Gold Glove finalist in left field last year. Labeled as a shaky defender when acquired by the A’s, Grossman led American League left fielders in total zone runs and in range factor per game while turning in a perfect fielding percentage. He also led all AL left fielders by a wide margin in SABR’s advanced metric, SDI, and earned positive scores on other major metrics like DRS and UZR. It remains to be seen whether he can repeat that career-best defensive performance in 2020, but for now he doesn’t seem to be a liability with the glove.
— Oakland A’s (@Athletics) May 25, 2019
The Depth Chart
It’s difficult to project how Grossman will be used in 2020. As the roster is currently constructed, Canha, Laureano, and Piscotty are the likely starters in the outfield. Laureano and Piscotty seem like safe bets to play every day, at least from the outset, and Canha may have played himself into an everyday role as well with his strong 2019 campaign. If this is the case, then Grossman would be a depth piece that plays in case of injury or days off for the starters.
Grossman may also be slated for a platoon role, but it’s hard to envision who he would platoon with. Canha is the most likely candidate, but he actually had more success against right-handed pitchers than lefties last season. A smarter choice would be Piscotty who has crushed southpaws his whole career but struggled some against righties. However, with Piscotty being a middle-of-the-order, integral part of the lineup when healthy, this seems less probable.
One thing is certain: Grossman will probably see as few at-bats from the right side as possible. If a fill-in against a lefty is needed, Chad Pinder will be available, but Grossman will likely be the first man off the bench against a right-hander. He will have to play well to hang on to this role as Brown, Bolt, and others will be fighting for at-bats as well. | <urn:uuid:a316d34e-900d-43c4-8754-8b6349e6cb71> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.sanfranciscosports.today/baseball/as/robbie-grossman-and-the-as-outfield/ | 2022-10-06T23:11:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337889.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20221006222634-20221007012634-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.983314 | 1,089 | [

About Descendants of the Sun (태양의 후예):
Some relationships are fated, despite the challenges of time and place.
Yoo Shi Jin (Song Joong Ki), the leader of a Special Forces unit, meets trauma surgeon Kang Mo Yeon (Song Hye Kyo) in a hospital emergency room after Shi Jin and his second-in-command, Seo Dae Young (Jin Goo), chase down a thief on their day off.
Shi Jin is immediately smitten with Mo Yeon, and he asks her out on a date. But Shi Jin keeps getting called to duty when he is with Mo Yeon, and the two also realize that they have conflicting views about human life (he will kill to protect his country and she has to save lives at all costs). They decide to break off their budding relationship as a result.
Dae Young also tries to break off his relationship with Army doctor Yoon Myeong Ju (Kim Ji Won) because her father, Lt. General Yoon (Kang Shin Il), thinks Shi Jin is a better match for his daughter.
Shi Jin and Dae Young are then deployed to the fictional war-torn country of Urk on a long-term assignment of helping the United Nations keep peace in the area. After repeatedly being passed over for a promotion because of her lack of connections, Mo Yeon gives up performing surgeries, loosening her principles somewhat to become a celebrity TV doctor and caring for VIP patients at the hospital. But when she refuses the sexual advances of the hospital chairman, Mo Yeon is picked to lead a medical team to staff a clinic in Urk! There, Mo Yeon unexpectedly reconnects with Shi Jin.
“Descendants of the Sun” is a 2016 South Korean drama series directed by Lee Eung Bok. The entire series was pre-produced prior to airing, which is a departure from how Korean dramas are typically produced. The stars and production team spent one month in Greece to film much of the series’ storyline. The drama also is the first project for Song Joong Ki after finishing his mandatory two-year military service.

18-year-old man fined HK$8K in violation of Red Code Vaccine Pass regulation
In the first of its case, an 18-year-old man was convicted of a violation of the Prevention and Control of Disease Regulation (Cap. 599A) under the Vaccine Pass Regulation on the use of the Red Code.
The man was fined HK$8,000 by the Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts today, today, 16 September.
The Red Code function is applicable to all confirmed COVID-19 cases that started to be implemented on 9 August and has been added to the Vaccine Pass, and this is the first conviction case by the courts for violating the relevant regulation since.
The man was notified of his positive test result for COVID-19 on August 30. During the period when a Red Code was displayed in his Vaccine Pass, he left his residence, took public transportation, and attempted to enter catering premises under the Vaccine Pass on September 3. He was charged with contravening sections 32(1) and 32(3) of the Regulation.
Under the Regulation, a person shall not, knowing that he or she is infected with a specified infectious disease, expose other persons to the risk of infection by the person’s presence or conduct in any public conveyance or any street, public place, place of entertainment or assembly, club or hotel.
Breaching the Regulation is a criminal offense and offenders are subject to a maximum fine of $10,000 and imprisonment for six months. A spokesman for the Department of Health (DH) said the sentence sends a clear message to the community that it is a criminal offense to expose the public to the risk of infection by leaving the designated place of isolation without permission during the period of confirmed COVID-19 infection.
The Government will not tolerate such violations and reminds the public again to comply with the relevant regulations.
Also, any person holding a Red Code who is present at catering premises or specified premises under the Prevention and Control of Disease (Requirements and Directions) (Business and Premises) Regulation (Cap. 599F) commits an offense and is subject to a maximum fine of $10,000. The DH will co-operate with other relevant departments to stringently follow up on non-compliant cases and will consider prosecution based on investigation results and evidence. | <urn:uuid:07434d67-6106-4ec0-8f3d-85a2f9934b89> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://hongkongnews.com.hk/news/18-year-old-man-fined-hk8k-in-violation-of-red-code-vaccine-pass-regulation/ | 2022-09-25T01:12:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334332.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20220925004536-20220925034536-00281.warc.gz | en | 0.95393 | 483 | [

As standard, this key fob offers the above features but we also supply crystal key fobs with other custom options including a 7-byte UID (which reduces the chance of duplicates) and a range of personalisation services. Personalisation services include:
- Pre-printed fobs (recommended): Add your logo or design to the inner PVC layer of the fob, this is where your design is printed on the PVC before the out epoxy resin layer is applied. This means your design has that extra layer of protection making it ultra long-lasting and ensuring it doesn’t deteriorate over time. This method of personalisation usually has a 3-4 week lead time and is ideal for larger orders.
- Post-printed fobs: This is where the fob is printed on the outer crystal. This method of print doesn’t offer the same durability of pre-printed fobs but can be done in-house at our technical centre, so lead times are reduced to 5-7 days. It can be beneficial for smaller runs as pre-printing can be more expensive.
- Custom colour choice: Choose the colour of the inner PVC layer of the fob.

In this final article of this series on lighting tips, we’re taking a look at an important, but often less thought about, room in the house: the bathroom.
And the other articles in this series are super helpful as well! Get some advice on lighting your kitchen, read about how to light your dining room, and the article that started it all: tips for proper lighting in your living room.
Functional Lighting In The Bathroom
Taking care of ourselves means having a clear vision of what we’re doing – and as the smallest room in the house, not to mention the most private, our bathrooms don’t always enjoy a lot of natural light.
Luckily, getting a ceiling light to cast enough ambient light around such a classically small room is a relatively simple thing to do. That said, you can modify how intimate or illuminated your bathroom feels by adjusting the brightness of that main lightbulb.
However, a lot of experts advise that you try and match your lighting in the bathroom to as close to natural daylight as possible. That means steering away from overly white or too heavily colored lighting options.
It also serves the function of giving you more accuracy when getting prepared in the mirror every morning. If you do your makeup or shave your facial hair in lighting that doesn’t match the outside world, you can accidentally think you leave the house looking a certain way – only to have real-world lighting tell quite another story!
The bathroom is the one room in the house where task lighting rules the roost. Sure, you can use lighting to accentuate some decor if you have it in the room to showcase – but the key goal of this room is to preen and pamper ourselves, as well as take care of the calls of nature!
Lighting Around the Bathroom Mirror
If you don’t already have one, absolutely ensure there’s a wall lamp, lighting strip or a pair of standing lamps either side of your bathroom mirror. This is the part of the house that simply cannot be left in the dark.
Note we’re suggesting lighting on either side of the mirror, instead of a light over the top of your bathroom mirror. A light atop your mirror casts all the illumination on your forehead first, and drags shadows down your cheekbones, under your brow and nose, and beneath the jaw.
Not only is that sometimes unflattering, but it also is an example of how lighting in your bathroom can give you a false impression of yourself compared to natural outdoor lighting – which a light either side of your mirror is more effective at simulating.
Accent Lighting in Your Bathroom
Not all of your bathroom lighting decisions need to be so clinical, of course. This room is also where many of us enjoy a long solitary soak in the bathtub – an indulgence often made that much sweeter by low lighting.
A few gentle accent lights in the ceiling or along the walls can work wonders here – or you can carefully place a standing lamp close to the tub and leave all your other bathroom lighting off when it’s time for that soak.
How well can you see in the shower? Older homes with less modern showers often don’t have embedded lighting in their ceilings or fixtures. Task lighting here can help you focus on keeping yourself clean – consider some waterproof adhesive lighting for the shower to help here.
Lighting Is Important But Should Be Fun, Too!
Wherever in the home you roam, lighting can be as much about form as it is function. Hopefully the tips in this series have helped stir up some creative juices and given you food for thought as you decorate your home. And when you’re ready to pick out home decor and furniture, come to our showroom to see everything we have in person!
So where will you be letting your light shine at home first? | <urn:uuid:ff283b93-6efc-45a2-b476-ae546fbb1e3d> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://firesidefurniture.com/lighting-tips-for-your-home-pt-4-bathrooms/ | 2022-09-27T18:43:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335054.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220927162620-20220927192620-00281.warc.gz | en | 0.94751 | 796 | [

Reflections on COVID-19, capitalism, empire, and the worst year ever from the Hood Communist editorial staff.
They Are Letting Us Die
The sick reality underlying the present situation of poor, working-class, African, and colonized people around the world is that the people who currently have the most power to address our circumstances also happen to be the least interested in our long term survival. A decision was made in the spring that the interests of capital should supersede all consideration during the COVID-19 pandemic – that the machine should not be allowed to stop. That the trains were to run, the planes were to fly, the shelves were to be stocked, and the people were to work.
What needed to happen here in the US was the immediate implementation of a system of national healthcare, a campaign to guarantee widely accessible and free testing, and the deployment of a trained army of contact tracers tracking infections and helping people into paid, catered quarantines. There should have educational campaigns – not just television ads and official announcements but brigades of doctors, nurses, and medical students going door to door nation-wide, explaining the basics of the situation in language the people could understand just as Cuba was able to do. There should have been rent and bill freezes, massive free food distributions, and recurring monthly survival payments. There should have been a comprehensive long term plan to control the spread and make sure that people could stay home and social distance without bringing down economic and emotional devastation upon themselves and their loved ones. That is, of course, not what happened.
Instead of an actual plan, what we got were platitudes. What we got was bootstrap discourse from the tip-pity-top as a soundtrack to mask, medicine, food, and toilet paper shortages, anonymous corpses piled in refrigerated box trucks, rich people in heated patios terrifying waitstaff extorted into serving them, evictions, hunger, and poverty spreading like the red death, while COVID-19 infections ricocheted uncontrolled across churches, fast food restaurants, schools, and prison cells all over the country. In short, in the midst of deadly global pandemic that has gone on to cost hundreds of thousands of lives and make millions of people sick with unknown long-term consequences, the poor and working-class masses of people of the US and capitalist countries around the world have been abandoned.
One important thing to understand is that the US empire specifically had three months to prepare before COVID-19 crashed onto its shores. The empire, in fact, got – and squandered – an incredible head start. When the first cases were thought to be discovered in China, that nation moved decisively to contain the spread, identify the virus, narrow down effective treatments, and release the new pathogen’s DNA sequence for free to the world. It gave governments around the globe a fighting chance to prepare their people and their social and medical infrastructure for what was coming. It also made possible the production of every vaccine that has been developed to date. With China’s warning, some nations – like socialist Cuba, Vietnam, and Venezuela – sprang into action. Inoculated by prior experience with global pandemics and a civic commitment to the well-being of their populations, these nations organized comprehensive public health campaigns as well as lock-downs made possible by rent and bill freezes and door to door food deliveries. The poorest nations on earth, exploited and constantly attacked by Western imperialism, were nonetheless able to quickly develop plans to contain the spread and protect their people.
The capitalist nations of the world, like the US, Britain, Italy, and Spain, however, received China’s warning and pivoted smoothly and quickly into an all-out anti-China campaign, scrambling to lay blame as priority number one. When it came to the lives and survival of their population, they only developed the most anemic internal programs for handling what they knew was coming. There was lots of well-branded marketing speak about “flattening the curve,” lots of celebrity PSAs telling people to stay home, but little in the way of actual plans to help people. As one by one each of these nations succumbed to out of control outbreaks and the collapse of their basic infrastructure, it would later become clear that the virus had been in the West long before China had found its first cases, blame campaigns be damned.
Months before COVID-19 had killed hundreds of thousands of people, the world’s wealthiest nations, buoyed by a world’s worth of stolen resources and exploited labor at their fingertips, refused to act to save their own populations.
Another thing it’s important to understand is that trillions of dollars in survival aid has been distributed by the US and other Western governments during this pandemic. There absolutely was a comprehensive program to ensure the survival of entities deemed a priority for capital. Those entities just weren’t the people gasping their last breaths in overflowing hospital hallways or staring down nine months in accumulated housing debt with no money for food or healthcare or a funeral. Instead, what the US & Western capitalist governments prioritized was the facilitation of the single greatest transfer of wealth from the bottom to top that capitalism has thus far seen. Quite literally trillions of dollars in bailouts subsidizes, and lump-sum payouts for the largest and most parasitic and destructive industries, businesses, and corporations in existence, a process one Marxist economist has described as escalating plunder.
What has become clear as this pandemic escalates in scope and severity and elected officials in the US become more and more openly useless while being more and more openly condescending is that the masses of oppressed and working-class people within these borders are entirely on our own. The people who we have, in many cases, selected to represent us within the institutions of the state and capitalism have made it clear that they do not prioritize our existence – that they can live with mass culling of thousands and thousands of us – as long as it means wealth and resources keep flowing upward into a few hands. Capital is always able to continue to expand and find new markets.
Beyond COVID-19: What Is To Be Done?
The propaganda war waged on colonized communities highlights the need to organize. Through mainstream media via the Black pundit class, the Black misleadership class, and Black celebrities, we are being walked into narratives that do not serve us. Not just the narratives that emphasize “personal responsibility” during a COVID-19 pandemic where the US government has left its citizens for dead, but the narratives that are insistent on presenting the two electoral parties as distinctly different. Neo-liberalism is the core ideology of the democratic party and must be understood as a RIGHT-WING ideology. Grifting politicians and co-option of grassroots messaging have worked to deceive the masses of our people into believing that the democratic party can be or will ever be pushed into being a progressive party that welcomes progressive ideas. The democratic party can not and will not be a progressive party.
Since November 3rd, there has been no actual push for the man voted into the highest office to be the 46th president, although not promising constituents anything more than not being Donald Trump. The dust has settled from people dancing in the street in great relief because full-on fascist Trump lost and lesser-evil Joe Biden won. Yet, there’s been no evidence of Biden being willing to be shifted left or towards anything resembling progressiveness in these 30 days post-election day.
The post-election reactionary period is sustained by colonized people openly and proudly embracing their subordinate status as servants to white financial and corporate power. Despite those same powers blatantly and continuously stating there will be no significant changes in policies under Biden, colonized people are being swayed by identity reduction-ism, nonetheless. Most evident is Jim Clyburn’s call for more Black people in cabinet positions. The failure to scrutinize the weaponization of identity, as seen in Biden’s appointments, will ultimately harm working-class colonized communities. The Grayzone noted in November, “The appointments should provide a rude awakening to anyone who believes The Left could pressure the Biden administration to move in a progressive direction, especially on foreign policy.” There should be much alarm around appointee choices that signal Biden will be “firmly insulated from any pressure to depart from the neoliberal status quo.” The danger we are facing is now when Biden holds any neocon position that benefits the military-industrial complex, as the years of Barack Obama’s presidency taught us, colonized people in the US would ultimately support that position.
The ideological mystification of the democratic party as the savior of the colonized working-class masses hinders the intracommunal class struggle necessary for the fightback against the Black petite-bourgeoisie who are marshaling the people into supporting contradictory positions that pose real threats to our material reality. For instance, the Georgia run-off elections emphasize the necessity for a democrat majority in the US Congress. No one pushing the need for a Dem majority, however, finds any need to be critical of Reverend Raphael Warnock’s wholesale dismissal of “defund the police” and his decision to partner with Zionist group, Democratic Majority For Israel. Rev Warnock pledging allegiance to the apartheid settler nation while denouncing “de-funding” allows for the federal funding of programs like the Deadly Exchange to go unchallenged for the sake of holding a majority in Congress— or rather, sticking it to Mitch McConnell.
We are entering into a new year with the US congress still undecided on whether to issue $600 or $2000 for citizens who are months into the COVID-19 pandemic. Of course, the one-time payment is an insult. Still, more importantly, it pales in comparison to the massive amounts set aside in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to ensure that a new warmongering cabinet keeps busy these next four years. Simultaneously, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) is collectively silent on everything but small Black business protections. For colonized people, a Biden presidency is nothing to celebrate when the war on working-class colonized communities continues with even greater intensity. Biden’s vision for his first 100 days exemplifies this point. The focus on prioritizing masks as a sole prevention measure, 100 million vaccinations, and reopening schools without contesting with the dire state of public schools even before the COVID-19 pandemic. Housing, Medicare For All, and monthly stipends are excluded from priorities.
The new year should prioritize organizing colonized people around political education to clearly understand and recognize the role of ideology and class interests. The Black Radical Left MUST do the work to assist the people who are and will be confused by the contradictory positions overflowing due to COVID-19 and a government determined to fail us. Joining an Organization should be a part of everyone’s New Year’s resolution. | <urn:uuid:e054b2f0-9110-4f78-bca7-5e84b7079c5c> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://hoodcommunist.org/2020/12/31/its-wasnt-2020-it-was-the-ruling-class-trying-to-kill-you/?amp | 2022-09-27T16:47:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335054.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220927162620-20220927192620-00281.warc.gz | en | 0.962737 | 2,250 | [

We are going on a tropical trip and I bought a new tankini swimsuit that has a short skirt. But, I'm still uncomfortable showing my thighs as they are not toned and the backs of my thighs show some cellulite. Is there an exercise to help me?
Dreading to wear swimsuit
Dear Dreading to wear swimsuit,
Two exercises to help tone and trim the thigh and buttock areas are squats and lunges. Both are very simple and can be done in sets any time of the day. Do 2-3 sets of each exercise at least three times a week.
Also, include moderate exercises such as walking at an easy pace about 20 minutes several times a week to help burn fat. Besides exercising, eating healthy is very important.
HOW TO DO SQUATS
1. Stand with feet slightly apart, about hip-width apart.
2. Keeping back straight, as you squat down slowly, raise arms out straight forward for balance. Squat down as if to sit on a chair. In fact, you can have a chair behind you, and just as you touch the chair, stand back up.
3. Do 8-12 repetitions. Do 2-3 sets of reps.
HOW TO DO LUNGES
1. Standing straight with feet together, take a large step forward with one leg (feet will be about 2-1/2 feet apart).
2. Keeping your upper body straight and arms at your sides, touch your back knee to the floor, bending front leg and keeping the front shin perpendicular to the floor.
3. Push back up keeping legs in same position and repeat, almost touching the back knee to the floor.
4. Do 8-12 repetitions on one leg.
5. Switch legs and do 8-12 reps. Do 2-3 sets of reps.
As you gain more strength, you can add weights to each side by holding dumbbells in each hand. If you don't wish to buy dumbbells, then hold a can of food, or even a gallon of milk in each hand. | <urn:uuid:1a100486-1e2a-4fcb-a6cb-31ac2ae5da17> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | http://www.drdaveanddee.com/thightrimming.html | 2022-10-01T16:47:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030336880.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20221001163826-20221001193826-00281.warc.gz | en | 0.951332 | 434 | [

I did feel a little self-conscious checking out a Star Wars universe book at my local library. But with the first trailer for the Force Awakens out and the Comic-Con appearance of the stars young and old, I felt a little nostalgic for the original trilogy which is the only set of movies to my mind. (No matter how much you edit the abominations of Phantom, Attack and Revenge or re-order their viewing order.)
But after a long book on Alan Turing that nearly drained me, I needed something light and easy and Tarkin by James Luceno was just that. The book charts the rise of Peter Cushing’s DeathStar Grand Moff from his upbringing on the Outer Rim planet of Eriadu to commanding the construction of the destroyer of worlds.
Darth Vader and the Emperor are along for this novel too. Tarkin comes off as a supreme tactician who knows moves way before they happen, with Vader and the Force they seem unstoppable until they come across a rogue who can match them step for step with help from the inside of what will soon be the Empire.
It gets a bit repetitive with T&V making correct chess moves to match the rebel as they hop from planet to star system via lightspeed. Then it happens again and again. The flashbacks on Tarkin’s childhood are good as is how he rose in prominence in the power structure due to the fall of others but in the end this is all just backstory. Something that the actor probably didn’t have unless Lucas had an outline like it in his head. It serves as something that could be brought out in a bit of dialogue and actorly looks on set. But you can’t write every minor and sub-minor character their own backstory in a screenplay so if you are the completist type, this will scratch the itch for more on how Tarkin ended up on the original DeathStar.
Obviously, the beers to go with this are easy to pick. For SoCal locals Galaxy Defender from Monkish Brewing a Belgian-style blonde with grapefruit peels & Galaxy hops would be an excellent choice as would be the Citizens of the Galaxy IPL from Cismontane. No matter where you are in the country, there is probably a Galaxy hopped beer that will do the trick. | <urn:uuid:189604c2-7926-4347-ae20-adbbe1888460> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://beersearchparty.com/tag/cismontane/ | 2022-10-03T01:48:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337371.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20221003003804-20221003033804-00281.warc.gz | en | 0.960952 | 469 | [

Broadway Melody of 1938
Another movie designed to showcase the incredible tapping feet of Eleanor Powell. Her career only included 13 movies, not all of them starring roles, though she continued dancing in night clubs until the 1960s. This was her third big one, and she delivers all the spectacle we expect of her, along with dancing partner George Murphy. Robert Taylor is the love interest, but since he can’t sing and can’t dance, he’s just there for the plot, so who cares? This movie is notable for a small role by Judy Garland, who was not a big star at this time. She sings “You Made Me Love You” to a picture of Clark Gable, and the public loved it. So do I. It also has one of the rare appearances by Sophie Tucker, who is treated rather reverently. She was really too old for pictures by the time sound arrived, and her talents were more suited to the Vaudeville stage, anyway. | <urn:uuid:12ab9848-d35e-4828-a4ac-de82dbc717da> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://varley.net/movie_review/broadway-melody-of-1938/?varley_movie_initial=b | 2022-10-03T02:55:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337371.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20221003003804-20221003033804-00281.warc.gz | en | 0.981701 | 206 | [

I just read Gareth Vaughan’s opinion in today’s interest.co.nz. Though most of his contributions are spot on and relevant, on the topic of bank capital I have seen Gareth once in a while making things up as he writes.
For example, his idea that the Standardised Approach (SA) for risk weight calculations, as opposed to the Internal Ratings Based approaches (IRB), promotes competition between banks is debatable. It is an odd idea, like promoting competition between marathon runners by forcing them to carry an anvil. Moreover, support for the idea that there is a problematic gap between both approaches is waning. Early studies, the ones that got published, showed such a gap. But many of these studies used data from years before 2013, when supervisors did not really pay attention to weaknesses of the IRB approach. In more recent years supervisors have deployed measures to manage banks’ use of the IRB approach, e.g. the ECB TRIM initiative. And then there is Wayne Byers, head of the Australian prudential authority, who recently played down the harm the IRB approach can do: “When looked at holistically, we think any gap [between IRB and SA] is small.”
The opinion of the day
Today, Gareth surprised me with this paragraph: “It was just a few short months ago, with the Reserve Bank proposing to increase their regulatory capital requirements, that New Zealand banks were telling us how strong they were. The Reserve Bank’s risk appetite was too conservative, their lobby group the New Zealand Bankers’ Association said. … Boy how things have changed and how quickly too. Over recent days banks have received so many different forms of government and central bank assistance, in order to keep their credit / debt conveyor belt flowing, that it’s hard to keep track of them all.“
This dig is entirely off the mark, for three reasons. Firstly, the current perilous situation is not the result of past efforts of the New Zealand banking association, of course not. It is also not the case that our banks are being bailed out by the Reserve Bank.
Banks will always oppose higher capital requirements. But ultimately, bank regulators and bank supervisors decide. The quality of a banking system is a responsibility banks share with their supervisor.
Secondly, the Reserve Bank is making a solid attempt to stabilize the financial system. It rightly does so. As I pointed out in my previous blog post, prudential supervisors and bank regulators worldwide have stepped up their efforts to protect financial stability. Keeping our financial system stable is the RB’s top priority now, moral hazard is of secondary importance.
Thirdly, research provides compelling evidence that bank capital cannot lower the probability of a crisis, see research by Jorda, Richter, Schularick and Taylor (2017) as well as the Basel Committee in working paper No. 37: The costs and benefits of bank capital – a review of the literature.
A resilient banking system
Nevertheless, comments like these and recent press-releases and media appearances of Reserve Bank officials prompt questions about the resilience of New Zealand Banks.
The short answer is: our financial system is resilient. There is ample evidence to support that answer.
First is a study by professors Charles Calomiris and Stephen Haber, who examined many countries and discovered only seven crisis-free countries where credit flows normally: Singapore, Malta, Hong Kong, China, Cyprus, Australia, Canada, and … drum roll … New Zealand. (Their presentation shows why there are so few countries with stable financial systems).
Second is the 2019 report from the World Economic Forum that ranks New Zealand number 9 (out of 141 countries) on Soundness of banks. New Zealand scores 6.1 out of a maximum score of 7. That is great!
Third is the volume of capital available to absorb losses. New Zealand’s aggregate Tier 1 capital ratio stands at 13.5%. This is higher than the sweet spot of 10-12 percent identified by several authoritative studies. For example, the Basel Committee working paper #37 shows that the contribution of bank capital to reducing the probability of a crisis rapidly diminishes once capital ratios exceed the 10 percent mark. A recent ECB study shows that the cost of senior bonds is the lowest at a 12 percent CET1 ratio, which is close to the New Zealand CET1 ratio of 11.53 percent.
Fourth are New Zealand’s conservative risk weights, which bias capital ratios downward. It is unfortunate that the RBNZ does not present data that we can use to compare New Zealand bank risk-weights with those of international banks. We have to rely on guesstimates. This PwC study shows that capital ratios, after adjusting for the conservative risk-weights, should be at least 6 percentage points higher. Former RBNZ official Grant Spencer, in his speech of March 2017, offers a more moderate estimate. He thinks the ratios should be one to two percent higher.
Our banks are also resilient if we look at the (unweighted) leverage ratios. These are significantly higher than, say, European leverage ratios: 8.0 percent versus 5.4 percent reported in the most recent EBA transparency exercise.
Lastly, banks are sufficiently liquid. Funding and mismatch ratios meet requirements. Yesterday the RBNZ offered headroom: it has decided to reduce the core funding ratio requirement from 75 percent to 50 percent.
In all, there is ample evidence to support the answer that the New Zealand banking system is resilient.
What should the RBNZ do now?
Regarding bank capital, the Reserve Bank mentions that banks can use buffers. However, communication about capital relief is vague. “We also gave the banks a clear go-ahead to use the capital they have stored for rough times. We estimate this gives banks an extra $47 billion of lending capability to assist New Zealanders. They have a similar amount again to lend if needed without reaching their minimum capital reserves. In normal times this is about three years of borrowing demand.“
I agree with the spirit of the capital relief decision: use those buffers! However, there is no clear explanation of the $47 billion extra lending capacity. Neither is there a clear explanation of the buffers the RBNZ refers to. Is this the conservation buffer, or is it bank’s own buffers? What about any capital penalties imposed on naughty banks?
Investors want to know the headroom offered by the RBNZ capital relief decision – my research shows that headroom matters, even if capital ratios are high.
The RBNZ could follow the Nederlandsche Bank, which clearly explains the buffers that can be used and supports that with relevant numbers: “The systemic buffers will be lowered, from its current 3% of global risk-weighted exposures to 2.5% for ING, 2% for Rabobank and 1.5% for ABN Amro.”
This line explains how much headroom the Nederlandsche Bank created: “these measures will free up EUR 8 billion in capital.”
The RBNZ should also explain that buffers are meant to absorb losses and continue lending, but not to pay dividends or bonuses. The European Banking Authority puts it like this: “Banks should also follow prudent dividend and other distribution policies, including variable remuneration.“
Regarding the denominator, the RBNZ could quantify the difference between New Zealand Risk-weighted assets and those of international banks to improve the transparency, comparability of the RBNZ capital framework. Our like-for-like ratios are bound to be higher than those of many international banks. This APRA discussion paper can serve as an example.
Lastly, the RBNZ could clarify its position on non-performing loans and the IFRS forward-looking provisioning model. See an excellent comment by Nicolas Véron on this nerdy, but important topic. | <urn:uuid:c89b79b5-d3b0-4659-ba15-67b992b6a73a> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://capitalissues.co/2020/03/25/a-resilient-banking-system/ | 2022-10-04T09:55:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337490.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20221004085909-20221004115909-00281.warc.gz | en | 0.949001 | 1,636 | [

Last month I wrote a post on why I chose to use the Swords and Wizardry (S&W) Complete Rules, instead of Pathfinder, for my latest campaign. S&W is a redesign of Original Dungeons and Dragons (pre-1st Edition), written by Matt Finch and put out by Frog God Games. Due to a stretch goal achieved in the Sword of Air Kickstarter, the S&W rules are permanently free in PDF format from Frog God. You can also buy a hardcopy with a cool Earl Otus cover.
On October 14, Frog God launched their thirteenth Kickstarter to fund a third printing of S&W Complete. But this is a little different than just a simple reprinting effort. Designer and RPGer Stacy Dellorfano had suggested to Finch that Frog God print a new version of the S&W rules, but with art and design done entirely by women. Within minutes, Finch and Bill Webb were on board and the project moved ahead.
There are minor revisions to some of the game play examples, but otherwise it’s a reprint of the second edition. However, there are two brand new adventures included: “The Five Maidens” and “Zaya’s Promise.”
Finch explained that the intent was for Dellorfano to come up with a design that was no less appealing to males, but more appealing to females. Webb has cited Lisa Stevens of Paizo as a huge influence on the role of women in the gaming community (as well as “saving the game industry when WotC cratered on 4th Edition”) and has said that his daughter will taking over Frog God from him some day. So, he was very much into the concept.
While Frog God is best known for their Pathfinder support, and they’re establishing a foothold with 5th Edition, it is the company’s goal to get Swords & Wizardry into the mainstream and this updated design, using female artists, is an attempt to do just that. The Old School Renaissance seems to primarily be populated by older males (which isn’t surprising, since it’s a recreation of gaming from the mid-to-late seventies). Frog God’s aiming to appeal to both a younger and a female crowd with this project.
Setting out to raise $12,000, in just over a month, it blew past the funding mark in 15 hours! It happened so quickly, Frog God didn’t even have the bonus goals up yet.
I have a PDF of the rules, but I backed this effort and will be receiving a printed copy. Hopefully this will bring new players to Swords & Wizardry, which isn’t the only retro-clone, but it’s one of the best.

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah officials says a new federal grant will allow the state to offer more resources to victims waiting as their sexual assault kits are going through the testing process.
Sexual Assault Kit Initiative Coordinator Krystal Hazlett said Tuesday that Utah's Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice received $2.2 million grant in October.
Hazlett says the grant will extend the initiative's outreach from 11 agencies to more than 130 agencies that may be unsubmitted sexual assault kits.
The money will also allow the group to launch a website where victims will be able to track the progress of their kits.
The website is expected to launch in early 2018.
Last summer, the initiative set up a hotline where victims could call and ask about the status of their kits.

Does your marketing strategy seem overly focused? You might be proud of your team, but often marketing teams will focus on what they believe works at the exclusion of other options. That could mean that they’re missing out on critical assets.
Small businesses don’t usually get the full story when it comes to customer reviews. Reviews are a huge asset when it comes to bringing in new business. Most consumers check out the reviews before making a purchase with a small business.
You need good reviews because it genuinely helps people find your business. Encourage customers to give their opinion on our service or product on Google Reviews, Yelp and Amazon. Reviews help search engines know that your business exists and that it’s legitimate. How can you start getting more reviews? Ask your best customers or offer a discount or coupon after someone submits a review, whether it’s good or bad.
Marketers have known for decades that video grabs attention and inspires action. But, many businesses put it off because the misconception is that it’s expensive. Video is no longer expensive to create, produce, or distribute. You can create diverse content and distribute it efficiently online.
You can upload a video to YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram and reach hundreds of thousands of people. Out of the entire U.S. audience base, 82% watch video online. Not only does video reach a vast audience, but it also comes with a high rate of effectiveness. If we use doTERRA’s YouTube channel as an example, you see that you can use your videos for more than just pushing product. You can give event information, brand info, and fun, exciting ideas that will cause customers to trust you as a resource.
Statistics almost always come free or at the expense of industry education that your company would benefit from anyway. You can collect data information through customer relationship management software, pen and paper, or — this is the most popular option — use a consumer survey service like SurveyMonkey.
Any information you have on your company or sales can provide valuable insight into your industry. B2B clients can harness stats for their clients’ industries, while B2C clients can showcase their success and extend thanks to their customer base. Additionally, provide surveys to your most frequent shoppers as part of A/B testing. See what works from the people who are known to pay attention.
Put your reviews to work for you, start implementing video into your marketing strategy, and use valuable stats to impact your audience. These three assets are often overlooked, but they can significantly impact your company. | <urn:uuid:dc59004c-752b-4aba-9b6f-6ba6f42cbccd> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://iamuniquewright.com/3-critical-marketing-assets-youre-probably-ignoring/ | 2022-09-25T04:45:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334514.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20220925035541-20220925065541-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.946105 | 533 | [

Every day we use all types of electrical equipment in the home or workplace. We assume that they are safe to use because they are earthed. Despite this, not everyone has a clear idea what it means when something is earthed. With no clear idea, it does lead to the question of what is the purpose of earthing electrical equipment.
Mains Electrical Supply
The UK mains electricity supply works in the region of 230V. Because of this, there is a risk that such a high voltage can kill if the equipment through which it passes is not safe to use. The power cord attached to an appliance has three inner wires with an outer plastic layer providing insulation. To help identify what each inner wire does they have their own unique colour coded insulation. The three wires are:
- Live (Brown)
- Neutral (Blue)
- Earth (Green and Yellow stripes)
Each wire has a specific purpose. The first is the live wire which delivers the electrical supply. The next is the neutral wire. This takes care of the return of the electricity by completing the electrical circuit. The last wire is the earth wire. This wire usually carries no electrical supply and is a safety measure.
What is Earthing?
In the United Kingdom, we have legislation that requires that the appliances we use in the home or workplace should be safe. The legislation sets out that an essential part of any electrical equipment, as well being a major safety feature, is that it should be earthed. Very simply this means that the appliance has a connection to the earth. The reason for such a connection is that the planet is a good conductor of electricity.
If your appliance such as a cooker or washing machine has a fault, there is a risk that you could get an electric shock. Earthing your device protects you from this shock. When you get an electric shock, the electric current will try and take the shortest path to the ground to complete the circuit. If you are touching a faulty appliance, then the electric current may use your body as a way to the earth. By earthing your electrical equipment, it protects you from an electric shock. The reason for this is that it provides a path (often referred to as a protective conductor) for the electric current to flow into the earth.
What is the purpose of earthing electrical equipment?
Electricity has the potential to kill. As a result, when using the electrical equipment we need something that will keep us safe. By earthing electrical equipment, it protects us. It provides three things:
- Keeps people safe.
- Protects electrical equipment from excessive damage. Makes sure that equipment is safe.
- Disables the passage of any excess voltage through the equipment.
In the home or workplace, many of the electrical appliances we use every day have some form of metal case. Good examples include cookers, washing machines, and fridges. If the live wire inside the equipment comes loose and touches the metal casing, you will receive an electric shock if the appliance has not been properly earthed. The purpose of the earth wire is to provide a safe route for any current to pass along should the live wire touch the electrical equipment’s metal case. It does this by completing an electrical circuit. The outcome is that the resulting large current will blow the fuse in the equipment’s plug. This separates the appliance from the power supply. Both the earth wire and fuse protect the electrical equipment from giving someone an electrical shock as well as overheating and possibly causing a fire.
Is earthing necessary?
It is not always the case that an appliance has to have an earth wire. Appliances like vacuum cleaners and electric drills are not always earthed. There are two reasons for this. One is that they have a plastic rather than a metal casing, the second is that the design of the equipment provides a way so that the live wire cannot make contact with the housing. Because of this, the person using the equipment cannot receive an electric shock.
While we all know the benefits of electricity in being able to power devices, it comes with a risk in that it has the potential to kill us. This is where the need for earthing comes in. To summarise, the purpose of earthing electrical equipment is safety. When it comes to using appliances in the home or workplace, earthing keeps us safe. | <urn:uuid:ff856874-3c47-41cf-992f-99307e677490> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | http://www.dublindirectory.net/the-purpose-of-earthing-electrical-equipment/ | 2022-09-27T20:09:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335058.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20220927194248-20220927224248-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.951576 | 889 | [

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Thursday, July 9, 2015.
Couples who are unable to conceive often turn to other means of having children. Luckily, they have many options, including surrogacy, artificial insemination, and egg fertilization. However, these options can raise some complicated legal questions. Having a baby should be a positive experience. With so many difficult legal issues, a couple can very easily become overwhelmed.
If you are facing a fertility or surrogacy issue in Missouri, let us help. The Stange Law Firm, PC can work with you to navigate the legal issues. As a law firm dedicated exclusively to family law, we handle a variety of cases, including those related to fertility and surrogacy. Each case is different, but we have the experience needed to handle whatever comes our way.
Take, for example, surrogacy. In general, a surrogacy arrangement is where a fertile woman agrees to carry a pregnancy for a couple who is unable to conceive or have a baby. The surrogate mother is artificially inseminated with sperm or is impregnated with an embryo. This raises a number of questions. What rights does the surrogate mother have with regard to the baby? Who pays for costs associated with the pregnancy? One way that we can help address these questions is by drafting a surrogacy agreement. A surrogacy agreement makes it very clear what rights, if any, the surrogate mother has when the baby is born. Typically, the agreement states that the surrogate mother will have no parental rights or responsibilities and that she relinquishes the baby to the couple who signed the contract.
In addition to drafting surrogacy agreements, our attorneys can also draft and review other documents related to artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, and embryo transplants. No matter what role you play in the situation, whether you are the surrogate mother, the donor, or the parent of an embryo, we will work hard to ensure that your rights and interests are protected. We also understand how difficult these types of cases are and how costly they can be, so we will work with you to find the most cost-effective solution for your needs.

Medical science loves twins—the near-perfect physical and genetic match makes for ideal conditions to compare and contrast human responses to environmental change. And when the twins also happen to be astronauts, it’s like striking research gold. That’s why NASA leapt at the opportunity when U.S. astronaut Scott Kelly suggested that he and his identical twin brother, Mark, could be test subjects for an investigation on the health effects of long-term space flight.
A first-of-its-kind study was hatched: Scott would travel to the International Space Station and stay there for one year, working and living the life of an astronaut in the confines of microgravity. Meanwhile, back on Earth, Mark would serve as a genetically identical ground control, working and living the life of a typical, untethered civilian.
The high-flying experiment took place from March 27, 2015, to March 2, 2016. Before, during, and after this one-year period, a multidisciplinary team of scientists studied the two men continuously through molecular, physiological, and behavioral lenses. The findings, which are described in a paper published today in the journal Science, offer a range of insights that may inform future human missions to the moon, Mars, and beyond.
Did space travel actually cause lasting changes in Scott Kelly? Will humans be doomed if we ever try to live long-term off Earth? We’ve got you covered.
What happened to Scott’s body during his year in space?
Scott’s overall health remained in good condition while he was on the ISS. But based on comparisons between him and Mark, scientists did observe several small shifts.
One difference involves the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes, known as telomeres. These bits of genetic material are biomarkers of aging and potential health risk, says study coauthor Susan Bailey, a health researcher at Colorado State University. While aboard the ISS, Scott’s telomeres became elongated, although it’s hard to know at this stage what, if any, effects that might have.
Researchers also found abnormalities such as inversions and translocations in some of Scott’s chromosomes and some damage to his DNA, as well as changes in his gene expression. Beyond these genetic effects, Scott developed thickening in his retina and in his carotid artery. There were also shifts in Scott’s gut microbiome that differed from those of his Earth-bound twin.
Did everything go back to normal when he returned to Earth?
Not entirely. More than 90 percent of Scott’s genes returned to normal expression levels, but some small changes persisted. And while most of his elongated telomeres quickly returned to typical length upon return, some became even shorter than they were pre-flight. This shortening may be a concern that merits further study in other astronauts, Bailey says in an email, “because short telomeres have been associated with reduced fertility” along with dementia, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers.
Still, this does not necessarily prove anything yet, cautions Carol Greider, a Nobel prize-winning molecular biologist who was not involved with the study. “We do not know the telomere length correlation and fluctuations of twins on Earth,” she writes in an email, “so there is no expectation of what might be found.”
Some chromosomal inversions also persisted, Bailey says, “and so could contribute to genomic instability, which could increase risk of developing cancer.” In the months after Scott returned, researchers also noticed a persistent reduction in his cognitive skills.
“It wasn’t getting worse, but it also was not getting any better,” says study coauthor Matthias Basner of the University of Pennsylvania’s department of sleep and psychiatry.
Does that mean that staying in space for a year makes you sick and less smart?
Definitely not. First of all, the entire research team emphasizes the shortcomings of this study’s extremely small sample size.
“The big caveat is that this is only an n equals one,” Basner says, referring to the shorthand scientists use to represent the number of samples or participants in a study. “If you count Mark, it’s at best n equals two.” Without studying many more test subjects, it’s impossible to know for sure whether these effects on Scott’s health are specific to his particular physiology or generally representative of most people under similar conditions.
“Any persistent changes were very small and would need to be replicated in additional astronauts before attributing them to spaceflight, or even differences from normal variation,” says study coauthor Andy Feinberg of Johns Hopkins University. (Learn more about the difference between changes in genetic sequence and changes in genetic expression.)
Are there other limitations of the study?
Even though this research sheds intriguing light on the potential risks of prolonged space flight, it doesn’t quite offer clues to how astronauts will fare on a Mars mission. This is in part because the International Space Station is not in deep space and is instead in low-Earth orbit, where it is still enveloped in our planet’s magnetic field and so is protected from the most harmful cosmic radiation.
It's also incredibly difficult to coordinate the logistics of an integrated study like this. Researchers needed fresh blood samples for their analyses, which required Scott to have blood drawn while in space on the days routine cargo shipments arrived at the ISS, so the blood could then be sent back to Russia on the departing spacecraft and quickly transported to various Earth-bound labs.
Another challenge was the tiny amount in each sample, Feinberg says, which limited the scope of the research.
“We're allowed to have less blood from Scott than a child is allowed to have drawn during a hospital stay, for a lot of reasons,” he says in a press release. “Some of them are logistical and some of them are just for his own safety.”
So what will it take to know the real risks of space travel?
To continue learning more about how long-term spaceflight affects the human body, NASA is planning future year-long missions to the ISS as well as more ground-based studies. Ideally, this future research will include astronauts working beyond low-Earth orbit, such as on the moon or further out in space. The team also hopes to be able to equip future astronauts with the ability and technology to process their own DNA during a mission.
And it wouldn’t hurt if those future astronauts just happened to include a set of twins. | <urn:uuid:121b80e9-250c-4926-89d0-f11f68927ad5> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/study-of-astronaut-twins-hints-at-spaceflight-health-effects | 2022-09-27T21:30:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335058.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20220927194248-20220927224248-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.965524 | 1,366 | [

Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs
The Federal Ministry for Labour and Social Affairs is a federal ministry of the Federal Republic of Germany headed by the Federal Minister of Labour and Social Affairs as a member of the Cabinet of Germany. Its first location is on Wilhelmstrasse in Berlin, the second in Bonn.
HistoryThe Reich Ministry of Labour of the Weimar Republic was established on 13 February 1919 as the successor of the Labour Office of the German Empire. The Social Democratic politician Gustav Bauer became the first Minister for Labour under Chancellor Philipp Scheidemann, whom he succeeded on June 21 of the same year. On the day of the Machtergreifung in January 1933, the German National politician and Der Stahlhelm leader Franz Seldte was appointed Minister for Labour in the Cabinet Hitler, a position he officially held until 1945, though without actual power.
The West German Ministry for Labour was re-established in Bonn on 20 September 1949 with the Cabinet Adenauer I. According to the 1991 Berlin/Bonn Act it moved to its present seat in Berlin-Mitte in 2000, on premises formerly used by Goebbels' Propaganda Ministry and the East German National Front organisation.
During the Cabinet Schröder II from 2002 to 2005, the ministry had been dissolved and its responsibilities allocated to the Federal Ministry for Economics and Labour and the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Security. Responsibilities were re-allocated once again when a new government was formed under Chancellor Angela Merkel following the Bundestag elections of 2005. The German name was changed from Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Sozialordnung to Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Soziales.

I have an interesting and ancient history. You can explore it through literature and poetry, by walking and admiring my landscapes, or you can visit thematic museums and relive distant centuries during seeing exhibitions. Sounds interesting? Then this top of museums to explore me and my history is definitely for you.
Let's start with something new - the Museum of Ukrainian nation formation. It opened its exhibition halls quite recently, but it has already made a lot of noise with its innovation and manufacturability. Imagine the times and events presented in different thematic halls, it is even possible to smell them. The museum is located in the foothills of the Motherland Monument, on the territory of the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War.
Did you know, my dear researcher, that in the world ranking of the tallest statues in the world, my Motherland Monument is in the top ten? The Monument itself has two observation platforms with a magnificent view of the Dnieper river and the left bank. There are other scenic viewpoints where you can contemplate my beauty and you can read about them in the "I am an observer" section.
The entire memorial site is located on an area of over 11 hectares. Here you can see weapons, military equipment, and aviation, not only from the Second World War but also from the war in Afghanistan and even from the ATO zone in Eastern Ukraine. Also, sculptural compositions "Assault-crossing of the Dnieper" ("Forsuvannia Dnipra"), "Arms transfer" ("Peredacha zbroi") and high-relief compositions " Heroes of the front line and rear area" ("Heroi frontu i tylu") will not leave anyone indifferent.
Nowadays, DarkTourism is a fashionable trend and trips to the Chernobyl exclusion zone are very popular, but before going on a trip, I advise everyone to visit the Ukrainian National Chornobyl Museum. It is a multifunctional historical and cultural institution that combines scientific, archival, cultural, and educational activities making public the history of the nuclear accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Visit the museum and it will impress you.
Well, now let's move on from serious-historical facts to just cognitive-historical ones. Ukrainian National Chornobyl Museum is located on Podil, 1 Khoryv Lane. There is also an interesting and rather unusual museum-pharmacy not far from 7 Prytysko-Mykilska Street (this street is already familiar to us after the "I am a mystic" section).
You may ask: "What is unusual and interesting here?". And I will answer: "Well, one of the interesting things is that it was the first pharmacy on Podil and it was opened in 1728. Since then, for 110 years, medicines were not only sold here, but also manufactured. And even today there is a pharmacy on the first floor of the museum, although medicines are no longer produced here... It may be so that looking into the basement, you may be convinced of something else by what you see there".
I want to continue the medical topic and propose to move from Podil to Upper Town to B. Khmelnytskyi Street. It is here where one of the largest museums of medicine not only in Ukraine but also in Europe is located - the National Museum of Medicine of Ukraine. The museum is located in the anatomical theatre premises built in 1853 by Aleksandr Beretti at the request of Alexander Walter, professor at St. Vladimir University.
By that time, the anatomical theatre was one of the leading scientific and medical institutions in Europe, and today you can see luxurious expositions on the medical science development from the Kyivan Rus times to the present day. The museum also conducts thematic quests and even one-man performances for viewers over 16 years old.
I have many interesting museums where you can study, observe and feel history. Since we all had a childhood, in the end, I would like to tell you about a place where history is not just felt, it seems to pass through your memories, no matter how old you are and where you were born. The last piece of my museum collection is the State Museum of Toys.
The museum is located on 8 Klovski Descent. Visit it and see a collection of toys from the beginning of the last century to the present. The collection contains toys that are more than a hundred years old and exclusive items that can be seen only here. The museum exhibits an incredible collection of Christmas tree decorations during the Christmas holidays, and I am sure that all visitors at this time become small again and believe in miracles with inspiration.
I also believe that you will find your favourite museum in me. See you next time! Your Kyiv. | <urn:uuid:a3f7fe78-fded-489d-9d8a-95fc2edb66a6> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://guide.kyivcity.gov.ua/en/activities/researcher | 2022-09-30T12:50:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335469.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20220930113830-20220930143830-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.962897 | 985 | [

We performed a comparison between Infogix Data360 Govern and SAP Data Hub based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Governance solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"It is an integrated solution that provides end-to-end capabilities for managing the data. It is very useful for cleaning the data. It also allows us to combine data from on-premises and cloud sources. On this unified data, we can perform some advanced analytics to predict customer behavior and create new products. Its management and governance capabilities are valuable. It provides full tracking of the data flow. It provides customers the full control over the data and the ability to protect the data. It enables us to provide the best service to the customers. We also get great support from Infogix."
"Infogix support stands out in terms of quality and response time, and it is really easy to speak with them by phone or by email."
"Its connection to on-premise products is the most valuable. We mostly use the on-premise connection, which is seamless. This is what we prefer in this solution over other solutions. We are using it the most for the orchestration where the data is coming from different categories. Its other features are very much similar to what they are giving us in open source. Their push-down approach is the most advantageous, where they push most of the processing on to the same data source. This means that they have a serverless kind of thing, and they don't process the data inside a product such as Data Hub. They process the data from where the data is coming out. If it is coming from HANA, to capture the data or process it for analytics, orchestration, or management, they go to the HANA database and give it out. They don't process it on Data Hub. This push-down approach increases the processing speed a little bit because the data is processed where it is sitting. That's the best part and an advantage. I have used another product where they used to capture the data first and then they used to process it and give it. In Data Hub, it is in reverse. They process it first and give it, and then they put their own manipulations. They lead in terms of business functions. No other solution has business functions already implemented to perform business analysis. They have a lot of prebuilt business functions for machine learning and orchestration, which we can use directly to get an analysis out from the existing data. Most of the data is sitting as enterprise data there. That's a major advantage that they have."
"The most valuable feature is the S/4HANA 1909 On-Premise"
"We would like this solution to be available in our local language. In our region, people are not fluent in English. It would be nice to have this solution in Portuguese and Spanish. Its workflows are great, but it would be useful to have business flow at a high level because we need to work together with business users. We need more capabilities for business users to understand something in terms of data."
"The 360-degree view for the customers needs to be improved."
"Nowadays there are some inconsistencies in data bases, however, they upgrade and release the versions to market."
"In 2018, connecting it to outside sources, such as IoT products or IoT-enabled big data Hadoop, was a little complex. It was not smooth at the beginning. It was unstable. It took a lot of time for the initial data load. Sometimes, the connection broke, and we had to restart the process, which was a major issue, but they might have improved it now. It is very smooth with SAP HANA on-premise system, SAP Cloud Platform, and SAP Analytics Cloud. It could be because these are their own products, and they know how to integrate them. With Hadoop, they might have used open-source technologies, and that's why it was breaking at that time. They are providing less embedded integration because they want us to use their other products. For example, they don't want to go and remove SAP Analytics Cloud and put everything in Data Hub. They want us to use SAP Analytics Cloud somewhere else and not inside the Data Hub. On the integration part, it lacks real-time analytics, and it is slow. They should embed the SAP Analytics Cloud inside Data Hub or support some kind of analysis. They do provide some analysis, but it is not extensive. They are moreover open source. So, we need a lot of developers or data scientists to go in and implement Python algorithms. It would be better if they can provide their own existing algorithms and give some connections and drop-down menus to go and just configure those. It will make things really quick by increasing the embedded integrations. It will also improve the process efficiency and processing power. Its performance needs improvement. It is a little slow. It is not the best in the market, and there are other products that are much better than this. In terms of technology and performance, it is a little slow as compared to Microsoft and other data orchestration products. I haven't used other products, but I have read about those products, their settings, and the milliseconds that they do. In Azure Purview, they say that they can copy, manage, or transform the data within milliseconds. They say that they can transform 100 gigabytes of data within three to five seconds, which is something SAP cannot do. It generally takes a lot of time to process that much amount of data. However, I have never tested out Azure."
Data360’s top-down approach to Data Governance makes it easy to understand the critical information that impacts business objectives and initiatives, thereby helping data governance team members focus on the data that matters.
The SAP® Data Hub solution enables sophisticated data operations management. It gives you the capability and flexibility to connect enterprise data and Big Data and gain a deep understanding of data and information processes across sources and systems throughout the distributed landscape.

Our Lady of the Visitation parish benefits from our scrip program. The concept is simple. You order gift cards from us for local and national merchants, restaurants and department stores at face value. The parish purchases the cards at varying percentages less than face value, thus making a profit. Your purchase price won't cost you any more or less by participating, but the effort of getting the gift cards will profit your parish!
We also participate in the Kroger community Rewards program. Register your Kroger Plus Card to Our Lady of the Visitation Parish. Each time you shop at Kroger and use your Plus Card, the parish automatically receives rewards. To register, go to www.kroger communityrewards.com. Our NPO number is 80204.
Order forms for Gift Cards can be downloaded here, or are available directly from Pam Holtmeier, 347-9038. Call Pam if you have any questions about this program. | <urn:uuid:1a4aa353-262c-4d91-bdc6-d36f45f3e212> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://olvisitation.org/Parish/Parish-Information/Gift-Card-Program | 2022-10-05T20:59:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337668.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005203530-20221005233530-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.906436 | 190 | [

The European Parliament today adopted its position on an association agreement for future EU-UK relations. A future agreement with Britain needs the approval of the European Parliament. With today’s broadly supported decision, the European Parliament strengthens the position of EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier. Contrary to a previous European Parliament’s Brexit resolution, it now explicitly addresses the fuelling of global tax competition by the UK’s overseas territories.
MEP Sven Giegold, financial and economic policy spokesperson of the Greens/EFA group commented:
“Brexit must become an exit from British tax dumping. Today the European Parliament has sent a clear message to the British Government. A future agreement between Britain and the EU must mean an end to tax havens in the UK’s overseas territories. A departure from British tax dumping should be a condition for the agreement. Only if Britain complies with EU tax standards it can retain access to the European Customs Union. With this position, the European Parliament is showing its teeth to the tax havens in the Channel Islands and the Caribbean. The European Parliament cannot accept tax dumping to continue when voting on a future agreement.“ | <urn:uuid:2f2b10b3-1cfa-4ebc-817c-0e3c36d219db> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://sven-giegold.de/eu-parliament-brexit-must-become-an-exit-from-british-tax-dumping/ | 2022-10-05T22:08:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337668.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005203530-20221005233530-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.907813 | 233 | [

Dental implants are an investment in the stability of your mouth. When you replace a missing tooth, you gain back esthetics and function. On average, the implant process takes 6-8 months. Although lengthy, it is an excellent option if your health allows. Steps are as follows: consult for implant, implant screw placement, healing evaluation, implant crown fabrication, and implant crown seat.
It is very important to maintain your normal routine hygiene visits with us during this process and after. Even though the implant crown will not decay surrounding teeth and bone can. Our biggest concern with neglecting care while having an implant is peri-implantitis. Peri-implantitis is a loss of supporting bone structure around the implant that eventually will cause the implant to fail.
Night Guards for Teeth Grinding
A night guard may be recommended to protect the new hardware in your mouth. Indications for a night guard would be clenching and grinding at night or your teeth show signs of severe wear or trauma. The guard separates your teeth and places a barrier between them. We know that an implant is an investment in both time and money, therefore, we want to ensure health and longevity. | <urn:uuid:8c647027-352f-4e38-8d00-57140cc41c3b> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.mcknightsignaturedental.com/faq/timeline-dental-implant/22140 | 2022-10-05T22:57:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337668.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005203530-20221005233530-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.925542 | 241 | [

Methods of meditation causing the new attainment out-of liberation was categorized for the one or two solutions – serenity reflection (samathabhavana) and you can insight reflection (vipassanabhavana)
“Glee is the supporting position for rapture”: Whether or not without a doubt some body serene believe from the objects away from refuge and a clear conscience is actually enough to alter pleasure toward rapture, eg instances could be the exclusion as opposed to the signal. Fundamentally, to ensure that brand new psychological build of the religious life to help you getting raised compared to that mountain out of intensity ideal because of the identity “rapture” (piti) a further commitment to the training will become necessary. Peace meditation aims at the manufacture of your state out of calm focus by the unifying your body and mind for the manage just one target. Perception meditation is aimed at insight into the type away from phenomena because of the myself thinking about this new actual and you will rational procedure while they exists to your the newest successive times of experience. However, there is a system and that makes use of mindfulness because the a direct ways to the brand new waking out-of sense, regarding the usual trend comfort try expanded very first due to the fact a short level, due to the fact unification and you can filtering away from understanding affected by the amount assists right penetration of your own nature out of something because of contemplative insight. This is the succession utilized by the present sutta, this new amounts from “rapture” as a result of “concentration” within the logical growth of comfort, the 2 following levels the development of perception.
These types of things, traditionally designated from the forty, are the colored and essential circles entitled kasinas, the fresh cemetery contemplations, the new thoughts of one’s around three sanctuary items, meditation toward sublime abodes out of like and mercy, mindfulness out-of respiration, an such like
Comfort meditation are grown based on a single target chosen from a basic selection of things kepted only for the development of concentration. Just after trying out one of those items due to the fact their realm of performs, brand new yogin strives to help you unify his notice because of the restoring their attract towards his target to your exclusion of all feel research, rules, view, thoughts, projections, ambitions, and you can associative considering. Their aim should be to create their head one-pointed, and this forbids simultaneously the dispersal among a beneficial multiplicity of concerns. Profits from the routine depends on new harmonization of one’s intellectual characteristics on the work of focus. Due to mindfulness (sati) the new yogin contains the thing in the realm of feel and suppresses it out of sliding aside; compliment of discretion (sampajanna) the guy holds a cautious view up on the brain, noting the tendencies to help you stray and fast correcting her or him; and maiotaku hookup you will due to time (viriya) the guy strives so you can dispel the new impediments in order to intellectual unification, and also to manage their feel in the a slope that is at exactly the same time taut however, relaxed.
The fresh new impediments to reflection try classified to your several four factors called the “five hindrances” (pancanivarana). Talking about erotic notice, ill-commonly, stiffness and you may torpor, restlessness and feel dissapointed about, and you will question. The fresh Buddha phone calls such five hindrances “corruptions of one’s mind” and you will “weakeners away from insights.” He states he is that lead in order to soreness, blindness, and you may lack of knowledge, and you can measures up her or him respectively so you’re able to a debt, a disease, imprisonment, bondage, as well as the dangers of a wasteland trip. Their elimination by unremitting effort ‘s the very first task facing the fresh meditator. When he proceeds in his habit, battling with patience and you can diligence, here become abruptly temporary trips during his services in the event that hindrances slip out, this new circulate out-of interior verbalization concludes, and also the notice abides you to-pointedly towards target. The newest completion on the momentary attention, short-term since it is, offers astounding satisfaction. It’s a powerful sense unleashing spurts off mental time which ton to the exterior off consciousness and inundate your body and mind having waves out of memorable drink. It provides an enthusiastic elating excitement bordering to your ecstasy, best the latest yogin’s past endeavors and you may encouraging subsequent efforts. | <urn:uuid:b186a3bd-fe3e-4fc5-a360-6f746f76c5f1> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.ngfinans.dk/2022/09/21/this-union-takes-the-form-of-intentional-software/ | 2022-10-05T20:52:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337668.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005203530-20221005233530-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.938974 | 993 | [

Remembering: Joe Posnanski on Andy Roddick
We know why both of these guys are in the news right now.
A few years ago, before the Internet, Joe Posnanski was our secret. He was the best sports writer in the country, and he was based in KANSAS CITY. We got to read his Thanksgiving columns. We got to read why, in jest but only sort of, the Royals would win the AL Central that year. And no one else did. Posnanski might be the most famous sports writer in America now, criticized by as many as he is lauded because of his new book Paterno.
Roddick is relevant again for more celebratory reasons. He announced his retirement yesterday. He’s thirty years old, and tennis has taken its toll on his body, slowing his swift serve and halting him rushing to the net. Not everyone can be Federer, ageless and without injury. Roddick knows this better than anyone. He’s spent his entire career, one marked by a Grand Slam, eight consecutive years in the top ten and probably the best sound bites this side of John McEnroe, in Federer’s shadow.
In July 2009, Roddick and Federer played one of the best tennis matches I’ve ever seen. They played five sets, stretching to thirty games in the final set. It was powerful but beautiful tennis. Serves won and lost the match. No one wanted to give up a break until Roddick did. Unlike Federer, he is not invincible.
This match mattered so much to me that I decided to write about it a year later here at the Brew House. Obviously, I couldn’t do justice. That day at Wimbledon, Roddick transformed in front of our eyes from an occasionally-funny, occasionally-petulant afterthought into a true warrior. In five hours of agony, Roddick did what he couldn’t do all those years in the top ten when his serve was recording speeds of 150 mph. He made us care about him.
All of a sudden I started to think about his good qualities, the qualities people are writing about today. Roddick once saved a man’s life at hotel fire in Rome. Aside from Andre Agassi, he’s done more for charity than any American tennis player. He’s freaking hilarious.
Posnanski captured the feelings perfectly in his blog about that match against Federer. On this day, as Roddick might play his last professional tennis match, I highly recommend reading this classic blog post another time. It makes me remember why Posnanski and Roddick are two of the best. -Mark Dent
Journalism: “America’s GoldenGirl” by Buzz Bissinger
In theory, there couldn’t be a worse match. Buzz Bissinger – the brash, bold, foul-mouthed author and commentator – and Gabby Douglas – the effervescent, radiant 94-pound gymnast who stole the spotlight in London this past summer. In reality, it worked out perfectly. Bissinger’s story on Douglas, which appears in the October issue of Vanity Fair, provides a deeper look into Douglas’ formative years than NBC’s fawning, too-glossy coverage was able to muster during the games. Douglas is the American dream, in as pure a form as exists in 2012, and Bissinger’s glimpse into her life is a worthwhile read. – Asher Fusco
Well, I guess I’ll complete the writing tri-fecta this week. So let’s start here: My life has been consumed by New Jersey for the past 30 days. I wrote a 60-inch profile on Charlie Weis, KU’s new football and an unapologetic son of New Jersey; I caught up with Tyshawn Taylor earlier this week and talked about the gentrification of Hoboken; my roommate for the next year grew up right outside of Newark; and on Tuesday, I watched New Jersey Governor Chris Christie give the keynote speech at the Republican National Convention and drop a Bruce Springsteen reference.
My roommate immediately turned to me: “Springsteen won’t talk to him,” he said of Christie. “He hates him.” That’s when my roommate recommended this story from earlier this summer in The Atlantic. Christie, you see, is not some fake Springsteen-ophile, pretending to be hip to further his political career. In fact, based on the story, he may be the most artist-obsessed politician I’ve ever seen. In the piece, Goldberg attends a Springsteen show with Christie in Newark.
Here’s an excerpt:
“Behind us, Christie’s communications director, Maria Comella, whose job it is to contain him, watches with alarm as the governor grabs his community-affairs commissioner, Rich Constable, and his human-services commissioner, Jennifer Velez, and simultaneously bear-hugs and headlocks them. Christie turns from one to the other—his face is maybe three inches from theirs—as he shouts along with Springsteen: “Workin’ in the fields / Till you get your back burned / Workin’ ’neath the wheel / Till you get your facts learned / Baby, I got my facts / Learned real good right now.” He screams the song’s immortal lines: “Poor man wanna be rich / Rich man wanna be king / And a king ain’t satisfied till he rules everything / I wanna go out tonight / I wanna find out what I got.” | <urn:uuid:42ea2568-7b2a-4b29-a645-175235290203> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://brewhouseblog.com/2012/08/31/unsolicited-endorsements-xxxv/ | 2022-09-28T00:51:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335059.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220927225413-20220928015413-00681.warc.gz | en | 0.95752 | 1,229 | [

ETH has grown over 620% in value since this time last year. Let’s take a look at the market forces behind the current bull run, as well as potential areas of support and resistance that may crop up over the coming week.
Fundamentals Improve With Scaling on the Horizon
Layer 2 scaling solution developer Optimism will begin a “trial run” of its mainnet on January 15 using the Synthetix exchange as its headline dapp. Optimism’s solution may prove to be a vital aspect of Layer 2 infrastructure, and a successful test launch will firm up confidence in Ethereum’s ability to scale, improving buy-side fundamentals in the eyes of the markets.
Optimism has cautioned that bugs and glitches may occur, as Synthetix will experience the full suite of experimental scaling solutions. Optimism allows Ethereum smart contracts to be deployed onto the Optimism Virtual Machine (OVM) requiring – in most cases – minimal changes to the code.
The project team aims to hold the upgrade keys for the first six months after testing, and have cautioned the community not to consider the testnet as a finalized solution until the keys have been relinquished. The public mainnet is due for release on March 15.
Meanwhile, the Uniswap Grants program is gearing up for launch, opening a Twitter account last week as the program prepares for its first public announcement. The grant program will have a $3 million annual budget for the issuance of grants aimed at supporting and driving development within the Uniswap ecosystem.
Microstrategy has received a major investment from Morgan Stanley following Microstrategy’s $1 billion investment in Bitcoin. Morgan Stanley’s investment represents 10.9% of all Microstrategy’s shares, a huge and public vote of confidence in Microstrategy’s BTC balance sheet strategy, and for many market analysts, a buy signal.
Microstrategy’s investments in Bitcoin were one of the driving forces behind the current bull run, with corporate investment and integration of crypto a hot topic on social media as well as investment circles. Microstrategy CEO Michael Saylor clarified that the BTC investment “was not a speculation, nor a hedge. It is a deliberate corporate strategy to adopt the Bitcoin Standard.”
January 15 Deadline Approaches For Tether
Tether and Bitfinex have until January 15 to release documents to the New York Attorney General (NYAG) disclosing the relationship between the two companies.
The NYAG launched an investigation into Tether in 2018, alleging that the payments processor Crypto Capital lost $850 million in funds held for Bitfinex customers, and that it borrowed the funds from Tether to cover the losses, illegally printing off uncollateralized USDT in the meantime. Crypto Capital’s owners were indicted in 2019 due to their connection to criminal activity and money laundering.
The question of whether Tether is 1:1 collateralized with the US dollar has long plagued the crypto markets, and the revelation that Tether is, as many suspect, uncollateralized, could wreak havoc in the markets.
USDT now has a market cap of over $24 billion, making it the third largest crypto in the market and the largest stablecoin by a margin of nearly $20 billion.
Major Regulatory Milestone With Banks Greenlit for Stablecoin Use
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency clarified its position on national banks’ and saving associations’ ability to use stablecoins and validate nodes independently.
Banks can now act as a blockchain node operator and can validate, store, and record payments transactions in doing so. OCC head Brian Brooks said the announcement “removes any legal uncertainty about the authority of banks to connect to blockchains as validator nodes and thereby transact stablecoin payments on behalf of customers.” He added that consumers had increasingly demanded the speed, efficiency, and low cost associated with stablecoins.
Jeremy Allaire of Circle, the company behind the USDC stablecoin, described the move as a “huge win for crypto,” adding that the significance of public chains being granted similar powers to SWIFT payments could not be understated.
The OCC announcement follows shortly after public discussion and controversy surrounding the proposed STABLE act which would have severely restricted the ability for stablecoins to operate legally within the US.
Resistance Ahead at $1,350
ETH is on a major bull run, outperforming even Bitcoin over the last 12 months. ETH saw significant growth over the weekend before dropping $100 in conjunction with a BTC price drop. Resistance now lies ahead at $1,350, with the path between that point and the current price looking relatively clear. Beyond that point, resistance is expected at $1,390, the all-time high of $1,425, and $1,470.
On the downside, support may be expected at $1,200, $1,165, $1,100, and $1,050.
In the last 12 months, ETH has grown over 620%, seeing a two-year high last week at $1,350 before ticking back downward to the current price.
The Real World Crypto (RWC) Symposium is taking place between January 11 – 14 online. Featuring speakers from Brown University, Thinking CyberSecurity, and IBM Zurich, the event will cover a wide range of topics in the crypto community. | <urn:uuid:23fd7122-e96f-42fc-ac21-4bee9860065a> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://ethereumprice.org/previews/january-11-january-17/ | 2022-09-28T00:39:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335059.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220927225413-20220928015413-00681.warc.gz | en | 0.942291 | 1,118 | [

If you thought that televised gold was just about as technologically advanced as it was ever going to be, it’d be understandable, but you’d be oh so wrong.
The PGA Tour is showcasing a new augmented reality app that will utilize Apple’s ARKit platform to let users visualize courses and holes in their living rooms and see how the pros stack up against each other.
You can select your favorite players and compare their strokes and get details on how long their drives were and where they sank the putt from. In the app’s early days, you’ll just be able to check out a few featured holes inside this app; it’s not something you’ll be able to access for every hole. Live AR coverage will be available this week on March 15 for the Arnold Palmer Invitational with the 6th hole getting the AR featured hole treatment.
For a sport like golf, a lot of the utility of the organization’s apps is for what has been heralded as a “second-screen” experience, where users look to augment their TV-watching experience with content from their phone. Adding AR capabilities with a PGA Tour app brings an interactive, custom experience that couldn’t happen on the TV while allowing users to get more familiar with some of the world’s most iconic courses.
“AR gives you the ability to bring in the more three-dimensional aspects of a golf course that are hard to really understand when you’re just watching on television,” PGA Tour CMO Rick Anderson told TechCrunch.
For a lot of organizations, one of the biggest barriers to putting their locations into AR is acquiring 3D assets that they can showcase to users. The PGA Tour is in the unique position of already having plenty of laser-scanned models of golf courses that they use for TV animations of gameplay. In the context of this new app, the maps add another way for viewers to understand the geography of a course and particular hole. In the future, the organization’s expansive library of 3D course maps will put them into a good place to further capitalize on augmented reality experiences that require an intimate knowledge of the environments that users are in.
At the end of the day, this is pretty low-hanging fruit in terms of AR capabilities, but for a sizable organization like the PGA Tour there are a lot of opportunities to build from here. The PGA TOUR AR app is a standalone experience, though the org says that once it gets moving there, the functionality will likely migrate to the main app.
The app is available now for free on the App Store. | <urn:uuid:6caf95e8-b191-411b-82fd-21fa4b30fa3f> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://techcrunch.com/2018/03/12/the-pga-tour-is-bringing-live-golf-courses-to-your-coffee-table-via-apples-ar-platform/ | 2022-09-28T00:13:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335059.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220927225413-20220928015413-00681.warc.gz | en | 0.954874 | 548 | [

We reported previously that many of our users and many people posting to forums across the web were seeing problems caused by last week’s patch for a serious SChannel vulnerability, MS-066 (KB2992611). It turns out the problem was caused not by the actual vulnerability fix, but by the new ciphers that were added to the Transport Layer Security (TLS) implementation by the patch.
The problems were manifesting on Windows Server computers running Windows Server 2008 R2 and Server 2012 with TLS 1.2 enabled by default. Windows client machines appear to have been unaffected, and not all computers running the server operating systems were hit with the problems, which included dropped TLS sessions and unresponsive computers as well as “fatal event” errors in the System event log.
Microsoft issued a workaround for the problem, which involves deleted four ciphers that were added, but also recommended uninstalling the update if you were affected by the problems. Now the company has released the update for the affected operating systems. A secondary update was released that removes the four ciphers from the default cipher suite priority list in the registry. This doesn’t impact the security fix for the vulnerability.
The new update package is KB3018238, which will install with KB2992611 when it is reinstalled. The new version will be offered by auto update on Windows Server 2008 R2 and 2012 even though you already have the first update by that number installed.
For more information, see the new version of KB article 2992611. | <urn:uuid:096f08f0-79a6-4ed9-ad77-4444e15a584d> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://techtalk.gfi.com/fixing-the-fix-microsoft-reissues-schannel-patch/ | 2022-09-28T00:40:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335059.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220927225413-20220928015413-00681.warc.gz | en | 0.968458 | 340 | [

Testimonials Weathering a hurricane
Hawaii Hurricane Leaves Lindal Intact
Hurricane winds reached a constant 160 mph, with gusts over 180 mph. These sustained winds and extremely heavy rain continued to batter our area all day. We watched as whole roofs, porches, and entire homes were destroyed. Our Lindal cedar home, with its outstanding materials and construction, had weathered the storm with no structural damage and minimal other damage. There was no wind or water leakage.
The cooperation we have received over the years from the Lindal dealer on Kauai, Andy Harrington, has been and continues to be outstanding. We would like to thank the Lindal company for the outstanding design work and materials which saved our home.

Of the eight Wisconsin natives who were selected this year, the Brewers grabbed three: UW-Milwaukee pitcher Joshua Uhen was the first Wisconsin-born player drafted when the Brewers took him on Friday, and they added Minnesota pitcher Drew Ghelfi (born in La Crosse) and Notre Dame outfielder Charlie Markson (born in Whitefish Bay).
37th round pick JaVon Shelby is Brewer coach John Shelby's son. After Saturday's game the elder Shelby told reporters "It's pretty evident that he's probably going to go to school, but still thankful. He's very excited about it."
Here's a quick breakdown of Brewer selections by position:
- Of the 40 players selected, 23 were pitchers. That includes four of the team's top five picks overall. Six pitchers (led by ninth round pick Tyler Linehan) were lefties and 17 were righties.
- Among the position players, four were shortstops, including second round pick Tucker Neuhaus.
- The Brewers picked three first basemen, including sixth round pick Garrett Cooper.
- The Brewers picked up eight outfielders, including five players listed as center fielders.
- You'd think the team would need some catchers to work with all these new pitchers but they only drafted two, and one of them was 13th round high schooler Tanner Norton.
The Brewers spent their first two picks on high schoolers but favored college players overall, selecting them with 24 of 40 picks. They selected 12 high schoolers and four junior college players.
The Brewers raided the closet of NAIA school Lee University, selecting three pitchers from the same small college. Lee finished third in the NAIA World Series this season.
Finally, and perhaps most surprisingly, the Brewers almost let the entire draft go by without selecting a Canadian. 33rd round shortstop Charles Leblanc was the 14th of 16 players selected from north of the border overall. | <urn:uuid:fc2111b1-273f-47e4-a36e-b42a2b804f9c> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.brewcrewball.com/2013/6/9/4411348/brewers-day-3-mlb-draft-results | 2022-09-30T16:46:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335491.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20220930145518-20220930175518-00681.warc.gz | en | 0.9497 | 1,027 | [

You may be scratching your head a bit as you read that you need to follow several steps when applying teak oil. You may also be asking why you need to use teak oil when, in fact, teak oil is never extracted from teak wood. Hence, the teak oil products peddled around by some unscrupulous manufacturers got nothing to do with oil derived from teak wood. Moreover, teak trees are never drained of oil for commercial sale of teak oil. So, what are these teak oil products that you usually see on the market today?
The truth is that teak oil products sold around are not true finishing oil. They are wiping varnishes. They contain linseed and tung oil combined with a resin. Moreover, the best teak oil products are different from other oil finishes and Danish oil because of the different resin amounts. Teak oil also contains less resin than Danish oil.
Manufacturers, on the other hand, never disclose the natural ingredients they use in their products. For this reason, you will seldom know precisely the chemical composition of their products unless you are a certified chemist.

Steps on Applying Teak Oil
Any experienced woodworker would ensure that the wood surface is clean before applying any finishing or refinishing, for prepping the wood is the first step. Below are the simple steps you can follow if ever you would apply teak oil onto any wood surface:
Step 1: Strip the Wood Surface Using Chemical Strippers
The primary thing to do to prep the wood for teak oil application is to strip its previous stain. Using chemical strippers, you can do away with the previous stain. After cleaning the chemical stripper, you can sand the surface using 100-grit sandpaper to do away with the stripper residue. Afterward, you can use 150-grip sandpaper to prep the wood surface to apply the teak oil.
It will be best to hand-sand the wood surface for the final sanding along the wood grain. Sanding the wood surface allows you to remove any damage to the wood surface. If you notice that a board has already had enough damage, you can replace it with a new one.
The ideal level of sanding is down to the bare wood. When done with sanding, you can remove the dust from the surface by wiping the surface using a cloth damped in white spirit.
Step 2: Apply the Teak Oil Using Strokes Parallel to the Wood’s Grain
Once done with the prepping of the wood surface, you are now ready to apply the teak oil. You can use a paintbrush or rag to apply teak oil onto the wood’s surface. You can apply the oil onto the wood utilizing parallel strokes to the grain. Then, let it permeates the surface of the wood.
It will be best to apply more oil on areas that tend to soak up oil more. You can cover the wood’s surface using even strokes. Moreover, you can use a wide brush to accomplish this task.
Your goal is to achieve a matte appearance for the wood surface. Once the wood can no longer absorb oil, then you can move on to the other parts of the wood.
Step 3: Apply the Second Coat after 20 to 30 Minutes
Once done with the first coating, let the first coating seep well onto the wood for twenty to thirty minutes. If you notice that there is grain raising after the wood had dried, you can get (150-grit) sandpaper and sand the grain parallel to the grain direction.
The wood will become less absorbent of oil after the first coat. Hence, you need to apply thin coats afterward to give it a thicker finish. Then, let the oil dry overnight. Ideally, you should allow for overnight drying between two coatings.
Another tip is to wipe off after 20 minutes the excess oil on the wood’s surface to prevent the tacky oil buildup. It will also be best to ensure that the areas exposed or near the ground should get thorough protection.
Step 4: Let the Oil Dry for 8 to 10 Hours Once Done with the Second Coat
Once done with the second coat, you need to step back and let the oil dry for eight to ten hours. But right before finishing the last second coat, you should wipe the wood surface after 15 minutes to dry it and let the oil dry out for up to ten hours.
Step 5: To get the Smoothest Finish, You Can Apply the Third Coat.
If you are aching to achieve the best finish, you can go for a third coat. The third coat will give the wood surface the smoothest finish possible. But before you apply the third coat, you can once again sand the surface using 220-grit sandpaper. This will allow you to smoothen the grain.
Afterward, you can wipe off the dust using a damp rag. Then, you can apply the oil liberally. Allow fifteen minutes to elapse before you wipe off any excess oil. Allow the oil to dry for up to ten hours.
Maintenance & Aftercare Tips for Teak Oil Wood
If you followed the abovementioned steps well, you would get an excellent finish that lasts longer and exhibits consistent weathering. If you see inconsistent or uneven weathering of your furniture after several months or days, it will be best to clean it again and reapply teak oil. It is also advisable to reapply teak oil once every six months, depending on the weather and climate of your place. In this way, you can prevent any damage to the furniture.
Remember that maintenance of outdoor furniture and wood should be done regularly. So, it would help if you never reneged in your responsibility of keeping your furniture well maintained. If you fail to maintain your outdoor furniture or wood, you will end up with pieces of furniture fraught with mildew and moss. You may also compromise the integrity of your furniture, leaving your furniture susceptible to fading and intense weathering.
Additional Useful Tips for Perfect Teak Oil Application
Once you’ve decided to apply oil on your wood, it will be best to be cognizant of the following succinct tips when applying teak oil:
- Choose a teak oil that does not have pigment. Remember that you don’t want to alter the color of your teak furniture. You want to keep its natural beauty. But if you use teak oil fraught with pigment, you will likely change the natural appearance of your furniture.
- It will be best to clean the surface thoroughly before applying teak oil.
- Test the oil before applying it to the whole furniture. You can test it by applying it to the underside of the furniture.
- It will be best to use a brush or rag when applying teak oil.
- You should ensure that the application of the oil is consistent and evenly. Don’t be impatient when applying the oil to the wood surface. Impatience may lead to uneven applications. Follow the abovementioned tips to ensure a consistent and evenly application.
Frequently Asked Questions About Teak Oil Applications
Aside from knowing the tips on how to apply teak oil, it will also help to know the FAQs about the teak oil application, for they may also be the questions lingering in your mind:
How Will the Teak Oil Protect the Wood?
The teak oil can indeed protect the wood surface from stains and spillages. It will also offer resistance against water and other liquids. So, it is best used for garden furniture.
Can I Apply Teak Oil on Pine Wood?
Yes, you can apply teak oil even on pine wood. You can also use it for softwood. Nevertheless, you can use it for other hardwood other than teak wood.
When selecting teak wood, it will be best to select well, for many manufacturers have misleading labels. As mentioned above, you will never know the real ingredients of most teak oil products in the market today unless you are a chemist who knows how to analyze the chemical components of teak oils. So, you don’t need to be gullible enough to believe what you read on the labels quickly.
Be cautious and learn from the experts or those who have experienced in using oil for wooden furniture. Ask any experienced woodworker about the best teak oil they are using to provide their outdoor furniture with a remarkable sheen. Their expert pieces of advice will surely prove invaluable when you decide to apply teak oil on your furniture.

Calling it a “New World” is a bit of an exaggeration but since this week the yield on the 10-year US government bond topped 3% for the first time in four years, it was kind of a big deal in the investing world.
The 10-year US government bond is a benchmark and indicator for a number of things including: mortgages, companies borrowing to grow, the price of oil … and, yes, stock prices. We all know that the “financial crisis” is now 10 years in the past and for the past 10 years interest rates have been super LOW. This has been both positive and negative for investors.
- Low interest rates on bonds and CDs have encouraged investors to buy, buy, buy stocks. The past 10 years have seen almost unprecedented gains in global stocks. That has been GREAT!
- Borrowers (people and companies) have enjoyed really, really, low interest rates in buying homes and growing businesses.
- Bond PRICES have remained relatively high, because bond PRICES move opposite to INTEREST RATES (low rates= higher bond prices; increasing rates= declining bond prices).
- Investors desiring “steady” investments like bonds and CDs to “anchor” their portfolios with respectable interest income have lacked ways to generate decent income.
- Pensions which “count on” a certain interest rate for their short- and long-term bond holdings to fund long-term pension obligations have suffered, and there have been and will be intermediate- to long-term implications for pensioners, the extent of which remains to be seen.
- The longer the (“unnatural”) near-zero interest rate environment has lasted, the longer the consequences of “normalizing” interest rates have been delayed.
In a “new world” – new relative to the past 10 years – of rising US interest rates, driven by the US Federal Reserve AND a potentially steadily growing US economy, there will be important implications for investors of all ages. Even if bond yields rise slowly and over time investors will need to ask for professional investment advice to get an awareness of how… not to freak out.
Younger investors may have their first (or second) experience with BIG VOLATILITY in the stock markets. The fear and emotions of an intermediate-term down market cannot be understated. “Intermediate” can mean 1-3 years. Most investors freak out after one down month! Here is where the experience and education of a trusted adviser can prevent damaging mistakes.
More seasoned investors and those enjoying retirement – or those about to retire – need to understand that the perceived safety of bonds depends on what kind of bonds you own and what maturities are in your portfolio. Longer-term bonds can lose their principal value pretty quickly in a rising interest rate environment (if not already).
No matter your age, as this whole rising interest rates process unfolds – as it has over history – stocks will react from time to time on the downside because higher interest rates on bonds compete with dividend yields on “riskier” assets like stocks. “Risky” is a relative term when you are trying to keep up with inflation over your lifetime of 20, 30, 50+ years.
You may have heard me say this before, but this advice never gets old: having an investment PLAN and a set asset allocation is more important than ever. The kind of PLAN I am talking about is a written, well-advised plan alongside an adviser who is a sounding board to keep you and your portfolio on track amidst the inevitable ups and downs in the new and not-so-new world of rising interest rates. | <urn:uuid:b2ec44d2-8f3d-46d0-8ba9-5dd65cec8662> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://tgif2minutes.com/2018/04/27/new-world-of-higher-bond-yields/ | 2022-10-02T00:46:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030336978.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20221001230322-20221002020322-00681.warc.gz | en | 0.952027 | 770 | [

The town was first incorporated on March 18, 1819, and received its official Charter from the Legislature in 1832. The charter was just a general charter giving the town the rights usually possessed by a municipality of that date. In 1823, the town had two branch banks, the Bank of Louisiana and the State Bank of Louisiana. The newspapers of this period were the Louisiana Planter (1810), The Red River Planter (1813), The Louisiana Rambler (1818), The Louisiana Herald (1820-28), Louisiana Messenger and Alexandria Advertiser (1827) and the Alexandria Gazette (1831).
Since every public record had been destroyed, Louisiana granted the town a new Charter in an Act dated September 29, 1868. In 1882, Alexandria became a city with a Mayor, Justice of the Peace, and Treasurer (who also served as tax collector and secretary to the Board of Aldermen). This Board was composed of nine aldermen from four wards- two from each ward and one at-large.
In 1912, a commission form of government was adopted by the Legislature which provided for the election of a Mayor, who also served as Commissioner of Public Health and Safety, a Commissioner of Streets and Parks and a Commissioner of Finance and Utilities.

Japan is a country where gambling is prohibited, but that doesn’t stop its animators from popularizing it in their cult favorite anime productions! When people think of cartoons, the first thing they think of are childish movies, with a simple plot and funny dialogs. There are no real unexpected twists in such shows, which are full of fantastic beasts and fluffy characters.
But the world of anime is totally different from the Hollywood world of animated films. The spectrum of emotions in these works of art can be astounding, and the heroes usually deal with real-life problems, even though their storylines may take place in universes that have never existed in reality. In fact, anime is considered to be a film genre aimed at entertaining both adults and teenagers! The seriousness and the brutality of specific episodes have helped anime distance itself from the jolly and sometimes silly toons that children watch, creating a unique cultural phenomenon that is adored by audiences of different ages.
Before we dive into the penciled universe of Japanese cartoon characters, you need to understand the essence of the word “anime” (アニメ). Surprisingly enough, the term itself derives from the English word “animation.” The Japanese shortened it, and since then, they have called any cartoon “anime.”At the same time, foreigners used it for specific Japanese animated movies with a dark atmosphere, vivid colors and explicit dialogs. At present, fierce discussions about the origin of the word “anime” are a commonly encountered phenomenon among most dedicated geeks.
But enough said about the general notion of anime! Let’s see what makes these movies so distinctive. First of all, anime production is rather cheap, because different cartoon frames have similar parts, and redrawing them several times makes no sense. You can notice that the same shots and facial expressions of the characters are repeated over and over in these films. This is because the artists don’t create additional cells to show the motion on the screen.
Imagine that your comic book came to life and was put on the screen. Well, the same thing happens with anime! The motion here is exposed in a big shot and extreme close-ups, while the overall background remains still. This lack of fluctuation is what makes Japanese anime so special, embracing the glorious heritage of the “manga” style graphic novels. The bold style of anime has been always in the spotlight of the major media production companies.
The boundless imagination of these comics stories evolved into the full-scale shows and episodes, where anything is possible. Due to this, gambling emerged in anime in new vibrant colors.
Before you start watching gambling animes from our list, you should be aware of two different kinds of them. They come subbed and dubbed. The difference between these two is that subbed versions use the Japanese language followed by subtitles in your native language, while dubbed ones have voiceovers in different languages. The next time you hear Japanese dialogs in your anime, don’t be surprised; maybe that’s just the way it should be!
This is the story of the young rowdy directed by Yuzo Sato. The show was broadcast in 2007 and has 26 episodes of 23 minutes each. The main character Kaji likes high stakes and hates big losses. He gambles all nights through, plunging into the indentured servitude of Tokyo’s underground world.
This bodacious player has signed up to a 3,850,000 yen loan; together with his coworker, who turned out to be a scammer. As the debt takes its toll on him, Kaji receives a splendid opportunity to pay off the loan. With the help of a stranger, he boards the Espoir (which means “hope”) on a 4-hour cruise, where miserable gamblers like him gathered for some kind of a card game, in order to get some massive profits!
At first glance, there is nothing dubious about this plan, but the game turns out to be much darker than expected. Now it’s a matter of life or death for Kaji! He is trapped by the violent and sneaky authorities of illegal gambling. To get through this dangerous gaming experience, Kaji will have to grow up from being an idle, sluggish player into a real master card sharp! The style of this anime is sharp and craggy, making it hard to follow the storyline. However, once you get used to it, you will not be able to resist taking a glimpse of the next episode!
This anime about Hyakkaou Private Academy is directed by the talented Yuichiro Hayashi, and the plot was written by Yasuko Kobayashi. This twisted thriller has so much to offer in its short 12 episodes. This establishment can be easily treated as a land-based casino; especially at night! Underground gambling is booming behinds the walls of this place, where the future masters of the world meet to gain or lose huge fortunes overnight.
Yumeko Jabani is a novice to the academy rules and undercover life. She is introduced to them by unlucky punter Ryouta Suzui, who considers her to be far too naive and childish. However, everything changes when Yumeko begins to win in every game, tearing down the rigged system that is run by the cheating student council. The interesting thing about Yumeko is that she is more excited about the process of the game than about her winnings! It’s hard to trick her, and she has a keen nose for cheating; so this is why she smells blatant lies straight away.
This story of a young student high roller is something worth seeing and exploring. Maybe this girl’s drive will boost your enthusiasm to try your luck in some table games.
This classy movie was created back in 2005 by Nobuyuki Fukumoto. Its 26 episodes will take you on an adventure with a gambling genius, Shigeru Akagi.
After running away from the police, this young teenager ducks for cover into a yakuza mafia den, where he decides to step into the game of mahjong instead of one of the losing guys called Nangou. Despite the fact that Akagi had never played mahjong before – he won the game without any clue about the rules! Imagine yourself playing in a casino for real money without a clue about blackjack or roulette. It’s pretty scary, isn’t it? But for Akagi winning, comes is a natural instinct, and he can play anything without any knowledge!
His talent becomes recognized in the gambling underworld. Akagi grows up to become the most vicious and cold-blooded mahjong player you could possibly imagine, who manipulates people’s lives and destinies. His calculations are always right, and he never stumbles on his path to win. His combinations and logic twists will make your blood pump faster. This nail-biting story of the young cruel thug keeps the auditory in suspense until the end of each episode. Nobody can faze him, and no one is good enough to beat him!
Gambling comes in different styles and forms, and now it’s sports betting that is going to be put on the big screen. The entire 25-episode story of Toua Tokuchi is dedicated to baseball. And yet, Toua is not a gambler himself. He is a player to bet on. This tough nut has to prove his fans and bookmakers that he is worth something.
The “One Outs” anime, directed by Yuzo Sato in 2008, tells of an outsider baseball team called Saikyou Saitama Lycaons. To pay off their debts, the team hires young and overconfident player Toua Tokuchi, who has to participate in the one pitcher vs one better game. According to the contract, every out will make him 5,000,000 yen richer, and every point puts him in 50,000,00 yen debt.
The stunning confidence of the main character can’t but be appealing to the audience, and his success is something far beyond impossible!
What if there was no paradise or hell, but only gambling? It’s not hard to imagine this when you watch Death Parade. Twelve episodes from the life of the tacit and cold-blooded bartender Decim, who runs the Quindecim bar, will show you an extraordinary concept relating to those two big human concerns: life and death!
The choice between reincarnation and oblivion is intimately related to the outcomes of the games of chance designed by this mysterious barmaster. Directed by Yuzuru Takitava in 2013, Death Parade presented the idea that dead people have to gamble their way into the happy afterlife. This totally changes the classical perception that everything is defined by deeds and hard work. Well, it’s hard to deny it actually would be pretty funny if we could make our way to paradise by playing in an online casino or placing bets on the outcomes of some kind of life event!
Sometimes we search for inspiration to continue playing our favorite online casino games, but nothing comes to mind. Try to bring up your childhood memories and search for the good mood and ideas in anime. We bet you’re gonna love it!

Understanding visual perception and neural mechanisms underlying it
Since 2009, a large portion of Dr. Nasr’s and Dr. Tootell’s efforts have been focused on revealing neural mechanisms underlying visual perception in humans and non-human primates (e.g. see Nasr et al., 2011; Nasr et al., 2015). Using behavioral tests, along with conventional and high-resolution neuroimaging techniques, their current studies are focused on clarifying the columnar neural mechanisms underlying depth, motion, color and shape perception (e.g. see Nasr and Tootell, 2020; Tootell and Nasr, in press).
Impacts of developmental disorders on visual perception
In collaboration with Dr. Hunter (Boston Children’s Hospital) and Dr. Bex (Northeastern University), our team is working on clarifying neural impairments caused by Amblyopia, a common developmental disorder due to interruption of binocular vision in early stages of life. In this project, recently funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH), Dr. Nasr and his colleagues take advantage of high-resolution fMRI to reveal the impacts of Amblyopia on specific neural columns that are distributed across the visual cortex. These mesoscale cortical structures are not typically detectable based on the conventional neuroimaging techniques. Results of this project are expected to expand our understanding of Amblyopia and to aid clinicians to improve the efficiency of Amblyopia treatment methods.
Impacts of neurodegenerative disorders on visual perception
In collaboration with Dr. Rosas, our team studies the impacts of Huntington’s Disease (HD), a neurodegenerative disorder, on cortical and subcortical structures that contribute in a variety of cognitive tasks such as object, scene, and face perception. Results of our studies have revealed multiple perceptual impairments in HD patients, even in the pre-symptomatic stages of this disorder, that were previously unknown (Nasr and Rosas, 2016; 2019). Currently, we are focused on understanding neural impairments underlying HD related disorders in facial expression encoding.
Developing more advanced neuroimaging techniques and MR compatible devices
Our team is in close/constant collaboration with MR physicists and engineers in the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, lead by Dr. Polimeni, Dr. Stockman, and Dr. Wald. Results of this collaboration have led to development of more advanced fMRI sequences that can open the door to future ultra-high-resolution neuroimaging studies (Berman et al., 2020). Recently, we have introduced new MR-compatible goggles that enable us to stimulate those parts of the visual cortex that were previously out of our reach inside an fMRI scanner (Nasr et al., 2020). Currently, we are focused on developing the next generation of AC-DC head coils (and accessories) which will enable us to use high-resolution fMRI to assess neural activity within those brain regions that are typically affected by susceptibility artifacts. | <urn:uuid:13dab419-914a-481b-a25d-f359f5e8c65d> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://mesovision.martinos.org/current-projects/ | 2022-10-03T08:36:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337404.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20221003070342-20221003100342-00681.warc.gz | en | 0.926323 | 613 | [

In this guide, we want to teach you How To Install Sysdig on AlmaLinux 8.
What is Sysdig Tool?
Sysdig is a tool that provides administrators and developers with unparalleled insight into their systems’ behavior. The team behind it hopes to enhance system-level monitoring and troubleshooting by providing a centralized, coherent, and granular view of the storage, transmission, network, and memory subsystems, as well as the ability to generate trace files for system operation that can be analyzed at any time.
They’ve also created a filtering language that allows them to dig into data in a natural and interactive way, as well as a large library of Lua scripts called chisels that solve common problems. Consider this program to be a supercharged version of strace, tcpdump, and lsof.
In a nutshell, it’s a robust performance analysis method for analyzing the state of a system and its activities.
Steps To Install and Use Sysdig on AlmaLinux 8
To install Sysdig, you must log in to your server as a non-root user with sudo privileges. To do this, you can follow our guide the Initial Server Setup with AlmaLinux 8.

Money Mantra of the Week: You have a healthy relationship with money.
This week we’ll dive into money beliefs without having to pay a money coach. Plus: Bitcoin Futures, Tips from Wealthfront CEO, Credit Scores and Cheaper Prescription Drugs.
⛏ How to uncover your money beliefs
When I was younger, I used to think people who ordered drinks and appetizers were wasteful. That’s because I didn’t grow up with a lot of money. My single mother would teach us about the merits of cooking at home and saving money. The rare time we’d go out, we’d skip the drinks and desserts.
For years, even when I had more disposable income, I felt guilty when my friends and I would go out to eat and order more than what my 12 year old self was used to.
These are money habits driven by money beliefs. When these beliefs go unchecked, we end up carrying financial baggage that no longer serves us.
Now, swaths of self help gurus and money coaches offer to help clients eradicate limiting money beliefs and change toxic money mindsets.
Before you spending a bunch of money there, you can self diagnose money beliefs for free.
How to uncover your money beliefs
Kansas State University psychologists developed the Klontz Money Script Inventory. This assessment that helps people identify their relationship to money across 4 distinct areas: avoidance, worship, status, and vigilance.
Money avoidance: “It is not okay to have more than you need.”
Money avoiders tend to think that money is the root of all evil and that they don’t deserve money.
Money worship: “Money would solve all my problems.”
Money worshippers obsess about money while deprioritizing other things life like health or relationships. The flipside? The worship of money is usually driven by a scarcity mindset that there will never be enough money.
Money status: “Poor people are lazy.”
This is the tendency to define self worth by net worth. Money status usually looks like signaling one’s position in society through material purchases and self comparison.
Money vigilance: “It is important to save for a rainy day.”
This is the tendency to protect, guard and save money. They tend to be frugal, but may also save too much, lose out on riskier investment opportunities, and are more protective of discussing money with others.
I ranked highest for money vigilance, followed by money worship. Logic checks out, I blog about money.
It’s likely that most people fall on a spectrum. The research shows that ranking high on the first 3 money beliefs is juicy – you’ve identified some toxic mindsets to work through. Apparently money vigilance was the only quality that wasn’t identified as problematic.
You can read the full research here—even just reading through the 30+ questions are helpful. Because the actual assessment is so hard to find for free, I had to construct it myself.
If interested in taking a free money beliefs quiz? Reply with “money quiz” and I’ll send it out next week.
🏪 Bitcoin Futures ETF: Driving Future of Bitcoin Price
Last week I talked about how the upcoming Bitcoin Futures ETF has been bullish for the price of Bitcoin. This week, Bitcoin reached all time highs of ~$66,000, and the rest of the crypto market jumped as well.
The whole Bitcoin futures news is bullish, but it’s commonly misunderstood. A quick breakdown:
- Futures contracts = financial vehicle to guess the future price of any asset.
- Futures ETFs do not own the underlying asset, so a Bitcoin Futures ETF like BITO does not own actual Bitcoin. That would be a “physical” Bitcoin ETF.
- While BITO is the first futures ETF of its kind in the U.S., international Bitcoin ETFs like BITC have been around for a while.
What this all means from an investment perspective: a maturing crypto market + growing adoption.
This gives big funds and money managers a way to play the Bitcoin game without actually owning Bitcoin. The SEC approving a futures ETF paves the way for a “physical” Bitcoin ETF.
Once physical ETFs get approved, that means those funds have to buy physical Bitcoin on their client’s behalf. Institutions that don’t want to bother with managing Bitcoin will want to buy physical Bitcoin ETF to get indirect Bitcoin ownership. Even an allocation from 0% to 1% will be huge. I don’t think it’ll be a stretch to imagine that in a decade, most modern portfolios will allocate 5% to Bitcoin or crypto.
There are only 21 million Bitcoin ever…so this buying pressure will be positive for the price. And it hasn’t even happened yet. As I wrote in the previous article, it’s not too late to get into crypto.
While institutions play catch up, it’s just much easier to buy Bitcoin directly—and even earn interest on it from platforms like BlockFi.
Note: this is not investment advice. Cryptocurrencies and investing is inherently volatile and risky.
🎙 Podcast: Wealthfront CEO dishes financial advice
There’s a great new finance podcast called All The Hacks. I got some tips from listening to an interview with Andy Rachleff, the CEO of the robo-advisor app Wealthfront.
- Wealth advisors and financial advisors not worth their fee (at least 1% of your portfolio); instead he recommends tax accountants and estate planners. For a one time consultation at a fraction of the price, you can get most of the benefit that financial advisors will give you. Remember, even most finance professionals do not beat the market.
- Financial advisors are only worth it if you are too scared to even start investing; then the fee can make up for the money you’re not making by avoiding investing
- Some of the biggest gains you can make is by reducing fees and losses. Obviously Wealthfront’s CEO touts his own tax-loss harvesting tool, but you can also get this feature for free with M1 Finance, which is what I use.
⏳ Financial history: Credit scores are not uniquely American
There are at least 15 countries including Canada, Germany, Spain, and China with credit scores systems.
While the concept of credit has been around for thousands of years (linked to agriculture), the U.S. has pioneered the use of credit scores. In the 1890s, the Retail Credit Company, based in Atlanta, kicked off the era of credit reporting. In 1976 it rebranded as Equifax, one of the Big 3 bureaus alongside Experian and TransUnion.
If you’re a nerd, check out this neat infographic about the history of credit.
By the way, there’s almost no reason to ever pay for a credit report. All the bureaus will give you one free report a year, banks are starting to offer it for free, and you can always grab a free updated scores from Credit Karma, which provides free Equifax and TransUnion reports.
💸 Money tip of the week: Cheaper Prescription Drugs w/GoodRX and Drug Coupons
Got a prescription that’s expensive to fill? Don’t just pay the list price—there are often 3 things you can try:
- Ask your physician if there’s a coupon or cheaper alternative
- Often times, they may point you to GoodRX, which claims to beat prices at online pharmacies 92% of the time, saving consumers an average of $30.
- You can even try contacting the manufacturer of the drug for a discount. Many drug companies have underused Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs)
There’s no reason to pay for higher than needed drug prices.

You might not understand it; however, there are distinct qualities and ranges of locks that you could put in on your house's exterior doors. A few of those devices are rather simple for a criminal to split, but others provide enhanced safety.
This deadbolt ought to be considered top quality with a grade of two; also it should have no screws exposed to the outside of the doorway. As a supplement to this deadbolt, a door string can also be suggested to further discourage offenders from entering your premises.
Doors are just 1 way that offenders can enter your property. The windows might be equally as easy to start when they're left unlocked from the homeowner. But, even the fundamental latches found on glass patio doors and glass windows won't stop a moved criminal from penetrating your property.
It's possible to discover a deadbolt kind of lock constructed for windows in most home improvement stores.

It’s here! The Wesley Barrow grave marker has arrived. Pretty soon the picture above of the Skipper’s grave will include a stone remembering the man who oversaw black baseball in NOLA for decades.
The news comes from Gretna City Councilman Milton Crosby, who reports that the stone has indeed been delivered to Alfortish Marble and Granite in Gretna, and we’re working on getting it in the ground within a month or so. I’m trying to pull together a dedication ceremony, maybe for late April.
As such, anyone who’s in or will be in the New Orleans area around that time, y’all are welcome to attend. The more we have, the greater the testament to this wonderful, influential man. Also, if you want to help with anything along the way — getting the stone in the ground, scheduling/arranging the dedication ceremony, maybe even speaking at the event — feel free to contact me at [email protected] or by commenting on this blog. We’re getting close!
There’s some more local Negro Leagues-related news as well … earlier this week I heard from Felton Glapion, the late Herb Simpson’s nephew, that the Seattle Mariners will honor the entire West Coast Negro Baseball League Seattle Steelheads team from 1946, a squad that included the humble Mr. Simpson.
I had that news confirmed by both Bob Simeone of the RBI Club and by Mariners exec Rebecca Hale. The event will be dubbed Turn Back the Clock night and is scheduled for May 16. Ms. Hale said details haven’t been worked out yet, but she’ll keep me posted.
Felton said he and other members of “Unc’s” family are planning on going. I would love to go, but I just don’t think timing and finances will allow it. But I’ll naturally be there in spirit, as will, I am sure, Herb and the rest of his Steelie teammates. Their legacy will live on forever in the Pacific Northwest.
Finally, I’m working on a lot of research about Louisiana native and New Orleans University (now Dillard) grad Gentleman Dave Malarcher to follow up on this post I did last week. The resulting posts will largely be about his roots in St. James Parish, his family history, and the social, cultural and economic conditions from which he sprung. Hopefully I’ll get those posts up next week … | <urn:uuid:bc0d1db5-cc23-4a92-96ab-01d3f166fa5a> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://homeplatedontmove.wordpress.com/2015/02/26/the-marker-is-here-the-steelies-get-their-due-and-other-nola-doings/ | 2022-10-06T02:06:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337680.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005234659-20221006024659-00681.warc.gz | en | 0.951264 | 526 | [

Is It A Fruit or A Vegetable?
© Roberta Kyle 2008, all rights reserved
Georgia has peaches. Florida and California have their oranges, but New Jersey is blessed with the best tomatoes in the world. In fact, the tomato is so beloved in the state of New Jersey that it has been named the official state vegetable, although I hear there is a great debate going on in the legislature at the moment over whether the tomato is actually a fruit or a vegetable. Technically, I am told, it is a fruit but since the state fruit spot is already occupied by the blueberry, the legislature solved the problem by declaring the Jersey tomato a vegetable. Whatever-- personally, I wish New Jersey lawmakers would stick to dealing with property taxes and balancing the budget and leave the legumes alone.
Whether fruit or vegetable, the Jersey tomato is a delectable seasonal treat, highly prized not only on its home ground, but in neighboring States and the nearby big cities of New York and Philadelphia as well. Sliced, diced, cooked, or raw the Jersey tomato makes a glutton's heart beat faster. uly and August is when the Jersey tomato is plentiful. By September, the season is pretty much over and I personally do not buy fresh tomatoes for the rest of the year. It’s not just that I am into local, sustainable, and organic produce. It is also that having tasted the best, I cannot stomach the rest. Out of season tomatoes, whether trucked in from California or Mexico of flown in from the Southern Hemisphere, are picked green, ripened artificially and often are about as tasty as cardboard. No, July and August are my months to pig out on local Jersey tomatoes. The rest of the year I am happy to do without.
Oddly enough, you will not find a variety of tomato called the ”Jersey “in any seed catalog, The classic Jersey tomato is a beefsteak tomato, usually a hybrid and acquires its wondrous taste and texture from the soil and climatic conditions of central and southern New Jersey, not from its genetic inheritance. A broad range of types of tomatoes are grown in the state and there is an increasing interest, particularly on the part of organic farmers and serious gardeners in heirloom varieties. Happily, these are increasingly available in season and can be found not only at farm stands and specialty markets, but also, wonder of wonders, in supermarkets. The heirlooms come in wonderful shapes and colors and are definitely tomatoes to grow in your own home garden or a pot on your patio whether or not you live in New Jersey.
New Jersey Tomato History
The tomato has a long and colorful history in New Jersey. The plant's origins lie in pre-Columbian Mexico and South America, where Spanish conquistadors tasted it and promptly took it home to Europe. It arrived in North America via England in colonial times and made its way to New Jersey in the late 18th century. Back then it was an ornamental house plant called “wolf peach” or “love apple” and was not considered edible. In fact, the fruit and leaves were thought to be poisonous. Possibly, this is because the tomato is part of the nightshade family and is distantly related not only to the tobacco plant but also to the deadly nightshade, which really is poisonous. It was thought at the time that eating a tomato would acidify the blood which would result in death.
In any case, it is said that tomato history was made in New Jersey in 1820 when Colonel Robert Gibbon Johnson of Salem County introduced the tomato to local farmers in a rather colorful way. The story may or may not be true. It seems that Colonel Johnson, a local worthy, had eaten tomatoes in Europe and wanted to encourage local cultivation as a food crop. Naturally, he met with heated resistance from farmers who thought that tomatoes were poisonous and the Colonel was crazy. To prove to the locals that tomatoes were edible, he announced that on September 26, 1820, he would stand on the steps of the Salem County Courthouse and consume a basket of tomatoes in front of anyone who cared to come and watch him do it. Rumor has it that thousands gathered at the courthouse to watch the Colonial drop dead and were astounded when he survived. Tomato cultivation in New Jersey is said to date from this time.
The Old Salem County NJ Courthouse
Is The Story True?
I have a feeling,(based on nothing but a hunch) that this apocryphal tale was told years after the fact by some clever adman on behalf of the Campbell Soup Company, which began making canned tomato soup in its Camden, New Jersey location in the 1870’s, using truckloads of Jersey tomatoes. Whether truth or fiction, the tale is a good one and probably helped make Campbell’s tomato soup a staple of the American kitchen.
It’s too bad that the Jersey tomato in it’s fresh off the vine state, can only be truly appreciated by those in or near it’s native habitat and only in summer. Like a local wine, it does not travel well—nor does any tomato, which is why I eschew the supermarket, chalk-center varieties, laden with pesticides and trucked hundreds or thousands of miles to market.
The rest of the world will just have to make do with their own local produce. As for me, I’m counting down to summer when the signs go up at all the local farm stands and I gorge myself on New Jersey’s state vegetable(or fruit)—whichever the legislature decides that it is.

What Makes Jersey Tomatoes Special?
My Favorite Tomato Recipe
I like tomatoes any way at all--but when they are right off the vine, here's a great,easy way to serve them.
Slice two large beefsteak tomatoes and put them in a shallow bowl, Add a handful of fresh basil leaves roughly chopped up and a handful or so of crumbled goat cheese. Shake on some salt and pepper and sprinkle just a bit of finely chopped garlic over the whole thing. Now pour about a third of a cup of best quality olive oil over the whole mess and let it stand for a couple of hours.
Eat it with crusty French bread. You won't be sorry:-)

I am from Virginia and we also have wonderful tomatoes. Only in a certain area of the state though. They are called Hanovers. Grown in Hanover County VA. In researching why they are so special I discovered that they are grown in a region with sandy soil. They get water from a tap root when needed but the sand does not allow them to sit in water as dirt or clay would. The short explanation of this, and my paraphrase, is that the tomatoes grown in sandy soil in places like New Jersey, Hanover County,Virginia, Louisiana, Georgia, are a full flavored tomato, not a watered down tomato grown in soil that would hold water and feed the plant and its fruit/vegetable constantly instead of when needed. I don't understand why tomatoes are even served any other time of the year other than when they are at their peak and have color and taste. Definitely an expense restaurants could cut out and pass the savings on to consumers.
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on July 13, 2012:
OK dbar-- here's a link to Guy Clark,, who wrote the song Homegrown Tomatoes in 1983 http://www.guyclark.com/
dbarspread on July 12, 2012:
Great video, BUT........ give Guy Clark his due
Randy Godwin from Southern Georgia on June 26, 2012:
I'm a fan of yours too now, Robie. And you are indeed correct about our Georgia duhmaders being delicious. I've paid my dues picking them out in the hot sun on more than one occasion but I still enjoy them all season long. Fortunately, down here the season doesn't end until late fall as a rule.
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on June 26, 2012:
Well, Randy, like they say down South " Bless your heart" I may be a " hard Yankee woman" but I am always delighted to meet another true tomato lover and I bet those Georgia durbaders can give their Jersey cousins a run for their money when it comes to good eating. Thanks for the comment and for stopping by. I love your profile and the looks of your hubs so I am your newest followers. I'll be back soon to do some serious reading and commenting of my own on them too:-)
Randy Godwin from Southern Georgia on June 26, 2012:
Very informative article, Robie. Some of the info I knew already but other parts is new to me. Down here in Georgia we refer to the wonderful "fruit" as "duhmaders."
And like you, I seldom eat fresh duhmaders in the off season as they require ketchup on them for flavor. :lol:
Enjoyed the read!
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on June 12, 2012:
Well, they have some pretty terrific tomatoes up in Massachusetts as well, ElleBee--it's all good as long as it is homegrown.. We tomato lovers have to stick together. Than ks for dropping by.
ElleBee on June 12, 2012:
I never knew that they used to consider tomatoes poisonous! Looks like I was born in the righgt era, I can't imagine a tomato-less life. Grape tomatoes are my favorites, but heirloom, beefsteak etc. are good too, even though we don't get much of the "Jersey tomato" variety up here in MA.
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on June 11, 2012:
Glad you liked it Deb and thanks for stopping by and leaving such a great comment. I adore that video too-- can't stop playing it over and over LOL
D. E-Platt on June 10, 2012:
Great hub as always! There's nothing like the taste of locally grown in season tomatoes, where-ever local is for us all! While I love NJ tomatoes, especially those selling at that regional farm stands, I'm willing to try them from other places too!
Anything in season is always best when you can buy it fresh, either direct from the grower or at an area produce seller, than from any grocery store. Like you I much prefer to purchase organic & locally grown, because it tastes better, it's a healthier choice and because it keeps the money in our area too!
The vegetable & flower stand at the Schneiderwind Farm location, on the PA side of the Frenchtown Bridge, gets all types of amazing Heirloom tomatoes, as does Peaceful Valley Orchards at 150 Pittstown Rd. in Pittstown NJ (that's on the way up toward Clinton). So if you're up in those areas stop by & check them out over the summer, you'll be glad you did!
Loved the video with the Home Grown Tomato song!
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on June 10, 2012:
... and sing along while they grow lol-- thanks for stopping by UW. I love the song. I keep playing the video over and over
Susan Keeping from Kitchener, Ontario on June 10, 2012:
Gonna have to grow me some home grown tomatoes :)
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on April 01, 2012:
Hi Sunshine-- and I so totally agree with you about tomatoes, no matter where they come from. I love em and it is almost that time of year -- can hardly wait:-)
Linda Bilyeu from Orlando, FL on March 05, 2012:
What's not to love about the tomato ... they are delicious and can be used in so many ways. A nice shout-out to the fruit or vegetable? I'm going with vegetable.
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on November 07, 2011:
Thank you so much for all the wonderful factual information you've added to this hub via your excellent, meaty comment. I especially love the backstory regarding the fruit or vegetable controversy. Jersey tomatoes ARE the best-- I've lived many places and they really do taste better and if were holding a blind taste test, I would surely let you judge it:-) thanks for stopping by.
Don C. on November 05, 2011:
There is a tree that stands in Salem NJ which is the tree that the colonel stood under when he tomatoes in front of a mass of people that came to see him die. I don't think that it is just folk lore if they have a tree with a plaque describing the events which newspapers wrote about also.
The case of the tomato being a fruit or a vegetable was taken to the highest court in the land...The US Supreme Court! They proclaimed that it is botanically a fruit and a vegetable in the culinary sense. Sounds likes one of the wisest decisions that they made in a long time! The 1863 suit was from against a New York customs collector Edward Hedden to recover duties "paid under protest" on the import of tomatoes from the West Indies. At the time, vegetables required a 10 percent tariff. Fruits were imported duty-free. In other words Nix said tomatoes were fruit (no duty) and Hedden said they're vegetables (pay me big boy)!
Another interesting note is that the largest tomato tree was is the Epcot center greenhouse of Disney World in Orlando. It is recorded to have produced 32,000 tomatoes with a combined weight of 1,150 pounds!
By the way, Jersey tomatoes are the best in the world but perhaps someone should have a blind taste contest next summer. I will volunteer as a judge.
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on January 26, 2011:
Well, thanks for stopping by George and I too adore tomatoes so I completely understand your enthusiasm and I am glad you enjoyed the hub-- wish I could answer the Beefsteak question for you, but perhaps someone else will be able to. You should join Hubpages and write about tomatoes:-)
George4009 on January 26, 2011:
Robie, my wife says that I am a tomato nut, well the nut part anyway.
Of the over 5,000 different types of tomatoes that exist, I have grown over 50 of them here in South Carolina. Of these 50+ my all time favorite is the Cherokee Purple, which is said to date back to the 1800’s and was grown by the Cherokee Indians of North Carolina and Tennessee. I plan to grow it again this year along with a couple of more heirloom tomatoes that I have not tried before.
I found your hub when doing a search for what year the name “Beefsteak” was used for a tomato. If anyone knows I would sure like to get that information. Will be checking back later.
Your hub is a great read, I could not stop until I got to the end.
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on January 26, 2011:
Thanks George-- that is a lot of tomato lore :-)

TOMATO TIPS & TRIVIA
· Do not refrigerate tomatoes! They will retain their flavor and ripen correctly at room temperature. Once they are ripe, use within 3 days.
· This vegetable is actually a berry, and is though to have come first from the Andes mountains, and the present name is close to the Indian name. It belongs to the nightshade family, along with potatoes, eggplants, peppers and tobacco.
· In Europe, where it was taken by the Spanish, the tomato was grown only as an ornamental for many years. Eating tomatoes was considered certain to prove fatal. Even in North America, it has been only in the past 150 years that people mustered enough courage to try eating them. That all changed starting on the courthouse steps in Salem, New Jersey, at twelve o’clock noon on September 26, 1820, when Colonel Robert G. Johnson ate not one, but a basketful of tomatoes. He not only lived, he wasn’t a bit ill following his demonstration.
· In 1893 , the Supreme Court ruled that the tomato must be considered a vegetable, even though, botanically, it is a fruit. Because vegetables and fruits were subject to different import duties, it was necessary to define it as one or the other. So, tomatoes were declared to be a vegetable given that it was commonly eaten as one. (Source: The Packer, 6/9/90)
· Tomatoes were popularized in this country when the Creoles in New Orleans included them in their popular gumbos and jambalayas. (Source: The California Tomato Board
TOMATO CROP HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT
Wild type tomato species are thought to be native the region of western South America and specifically in the dry coastal desert of Peru. First historical reference in Europe to the tomato was a yellow fruited type in Italy in 1544, cultivation in Germany in 1553. The Italians may have acquired it from the Turks. The tomato may have first been grown in Spain then taken to Italy where it was called "pomi d'oro" or golden apple, because of its yellow color. The French called it "poma amaris" or apple of love. The American Indians used the name "tomatl."
The tomato was not very popular until the 18th century mainly because of rumors that had labeled it as a poisonous fruit. It is suggested that certain famines during this century forced people to try this plant, because by the middle of the century the tomato was much more popular.
The tomato was introduced to what is now the United States (South Carolina) in 1710. By 1779 it was used in catsup in New Orleans. Thomas Jefferson grew tomatoes in Virginia in 1781. But as late as 1900 the tomato was still considered poisonous. George Washington Carver was known for standing in front of crowds and eating tomatoes, trying to introduce tomatoes into the diet. The tomato originated in South America due to the wild species found from Ecuador to Chile. This means the tomato traveled from South America to Europe before arriving in the United States. L. esculentum is probably derived from Lycopersicon pimpinellifolium which is indigenous to Peru and Ecuador. L. esculentum var. cerasiforme (cherry tomato) is considered a wild plant in the tropics and subtropics. There is also evidence that tomatoes originated in Mexico. These tomatoes show a great diversity in size and shape and include all color types known which are pink, red, and yellow. The cherry tomato is widely used in Mexico and has many Indiana names. The Nah uatl language of Mexico used the name "tomatl" which has followed the plant through Europe and South America. Mexico would be a logical origin since Cortez conquered Mexico in 1519, tomatoes could have easily found their way to Italy by 1544. There are still arguments as to the origin of the tomato.
One other note, there are over 5,000 different named types of tomatoes.

well hi Tracy-- glad you liked the hub and California wins the prize for so many wonderful fruits and veggies I imagine the tomatoes are pretty wonderful too. Thanks for stopping by and saying hello
Tracy from San Francisco on August 22, 2010:
Robie, I loved this hub ~ and your terrific sense of humor! Wish I could try some Jersey Tomatoes. They're pretty good in the summer in parts of California, but they don't come with quite the same musical score! Thanks for a great read.
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on February 21, 2009:
I'm chuckling too Tania--eat your heart out Brooklyn:-)
Tania on January 17, 2009:
I have often been referred to as "The Jersey Tomato" by my husband's Brookly family. However; after reading this article, I'm actually honored and realize that I am sooooooo fabulous. It's their ignorance and insecurities that these comments are made of. It's also their loss because they just don't know what they're missing!!!!!!! The truth of the matter is that I'm a very thin woman that could have just as well been compared to one of our many beautiful flowers ....
Hence the name "Garden State." Thank God I can rise above this with a chuckle! HEE HEE HEE
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on October 26, 2008:
Hi Cristoph and thanks for dropping by. It's alll over for tomatoes till next year--here come the pumpkins and squashes but never fear-- Jersey tomatoes will rise again next summer. If you drop by the Garden State next year I'll make you a salad:-)
Christoph Reilly from St. Louis on October 22, 2008:
Hi, Robie. I thought the former governor was the state fruit of New Jersey? (sorry, I couldn't resist.) I also am a hugh tomato fan, and only eat them when they are in season and I can get them at the local farmer's market. During the rest of the year, I don't touch them (except the cherry tomatoes, which seem to have a good flavor.) The Jersey tomato is famous, but unfortunately, I have never had the opportunity to eat one, in spite of living in N.Y.C. for 10 years. I have had a desire to taste one for a long time, but now, thanks to your tasty hub, I crave them. I loved the history too, and the story of the courthouse steps is great. Thanks for a great read!
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on September 02, 2008:
Thanks, ajcor-- I'm chomping away:-)
ajcor from NSW. Australia on September 02, 2008:
Thanks Robie2 - I found the most prolific tomato plants were the ones that came up under the shade of the trees as they were in fairly protected spots. Enjoy your T.S in N.Y.
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on September 01, 2008:
Love your tomato tale,ajcor--and the idea of "forbidden" winter tomatoesLOL Maybe I'll give the compost pile trick a try. It's tomato season right now in New Jersey yum yum yum but it will all be over in a few weeks with a long winter to come:-) Thanks for reading and commenting.
ajcor from NSW. Australia on September 01, 2008:
Australia - and we had an interesting experience this year; my son tipped the compost into the front garden on Boxing Day ( summer) and despite all the naysayers saying that we wouldn't get any tomatoes because it was too late to plant them I picked tomatoes right up until july (mid winter) - admittedly they were not very big (with many varieties sprouting) and didn't ripen in the garden as it was an ongoing fight with the frost. So once they got the merest hint of pink on them I brought them inside to ripen on the windowsill.
Home grown tomatoes mid winter - and not in a glass house!
Delicious and somehow forbidden because it was totally the wrong time; but tasted so much better then the Woolies jobs which certainly have many food miles on them and taste like it!
thanks for your hub - I have always loved tomatoes particularly in a sandwich with freshly black ground pepper.
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on June 10, 2008:
Ahhh doghouse. Seems the tomato is botanically a fruit which leaves the New Jersey legislaturer in a pickle. Salem County New Jersey has it's claim to fame because of the tomato, but whether or not the story is true--hmmmmm. I agree with you about home grown tomatoes and I love tomato soup too--ditto sliced tomatoes on sandwiches and in salads with fresh basil--yum.
In The Doghouse from California on June 10, 2008:
So what is it exactly, a fruit or a vegetable? Such fun to hear the New Jersey Tomato History! lol I too think the best tomatoes are home grown tomatoes. I love tomato soup however. Great Hub!
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on June 05, 2008:
ahhhh you are too kind:-)
trish1048 on June 04, 2008:
You're very welcome :)
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on June 04, 2008:

This brings to mind my dear grandmother's garden. What fun I had! Although I don't recall the large tomatoes, she did grow the cherry tomatoes, and I used to love picking them and eating them fresh from the garden, don't even know if I washed them off LOL,,,
They also had wonderful pear and apple trees, and it was my job to pick all the fruit that had fallen to the ground, so she could make her absolutely delectable pies.
Jersey tomatoes? My absolute favorite is between two slices of white bread smothered with mayonaisse, salt & pepper. YUMMMMMM!
Thanks for sharing,,
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on May 27, 2008:
Ohhh Marisue- I LOVE the song--thanks so much. I'm gonna add it to the hub. Wish I could have seen yur show with the kids dressed up as tomatoes and I'm glad the hub brought a smile to your face. I don't grow em myself anymore, but there is a local farmstand nearby-- it's almost that time of year <drool> so I don't hae long to wait. Thanks so much for your comment and for the video--here's to tomato-time:-)
marisuewrites from USA on May 27, 2008:
There is a song called "homegrown tomatoes" -- you can probably find it on you tube...cute as it can be. I used it in a road show I wrote many years ago....the musical won best overall....by the way. LOL I always said it was that song we choreographed. I'll see if I can find it for you and give you the link.
Nothing is any more satisfying to eat than homegrown tomatoes and I wish I could taste those grown in Jersey...they sound delicious. I've eaten many of them right off the vine with salt or without. Even our dog loves the small ones we grow here in a flower bed. Great hub...
I had little kids dressed up as tomatoes...and they did a dance beginning in the audience and then on stage to this....too cute...your hub brought back snappy memories of tomatoes! =)
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on April 11, 2008:
I hope whatever they were, those tomatoes were good, Eric. Thanks for stopping by. Good to see you.
Eric M from Bend, Oregon on April 10, 2008:
Brilliant! I thougth I just had some tomatos for dinner...but they weren't Jersey's so I'm not sure WHAT they were!
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on April 10, 2008:
No updates I'm afraid--at least not until tomato season:-)
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on April 09, 2008:
Hi Zsuzsy--I like the idea of the great tomato debate--a virtual "tomato tasting"LOL and you are right, fresh, right out of the garden tomatoes are great anywhere, anytime. Yeah--tomatoes, like potatoes evidently originated with our neighbors to the south. In fact the Aztec name was Tomatle from which we get tomato. I should add one of the good history links I used in my research--infact I will. In the meantime try playing the killer tomato game I linked to. It's a hoot. Thanks, as always Zsuzsy for your comments and for coming by.
Zsuzsy Bee from Ontario/Canada on April 08, 2008:
We could start a great debate here. I don't believe Jerseys tomatoes are the best...neither are the once grown in Louisiana...I believe the best Beefsteak tomatoes are grown right here in my yard in Ontario...HeHeHe
Isn't it just heavenly to just grab a still sun-warm jewel and just toss it into a fresh garden salad. Yum
Robie I loved your great hub. History too I didn't know that the tomatoe originated in Mexico and South America.
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on April 08, 2008:
ahhh Gadzooks--in Trenton as in Washington, the politicians are not always the sharpest tools in the box:-) and AmyJane I grew tomatoes in my backyard in Brooklyn too,but I swear the Jersey tomatoes are better--really<drool>. Thanks to you both for reading and commenting--don't know why I decided to write about tomatoes--but it was fun and that's the joy of Hubpages:-)
amy jane from Connecticut on April 08, 2008:
LOL Robie! I love it! I grew up with an Italian Grandmother who grew tomatoes in her back yard (in NY), so they must be similar to the Jersey variety. :) Now I can't wait for summer. I was just thinking today about farmers markets and how much I miss them during the long, long , long New England winters.
Gadzooks from United Kingdom on April 08, 2008:
I love the fact that politicians are spending time debating whether a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable. Every one knows its a fruit... so what on earth are they doing... its so comical!
Roberta Kyle (author) from Central New Jersey on April 08, 2008:
Hi ST,pg, and John--hail the tomato. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your own tomato stories. When you think how much difference the soil makes to the taste of vegetables, it sort of changes your view of chemicals and pesticides, doesn't it? I'm more and more for local and organic when it comes to produce.
John Chancellor from Tennessee on April 08, 2008:
If you really love tomatoes, then you need to come to Louisiana and taste the Creole tomatoe. The same ritual goes on here. People watch for the Creoles and are totally devoted to them. They are generally large, not symetrical but are plump, extra juicy and very delicious.
It is not just the seeds. There are farmers who take the seeds and try to grow them in surrounding areas. It is not the same. The true ones come from very specific parishes (counties where you are from) and it is because of the soil deposited from the Mississippi river that gives these tomatoes a special unique and delicious taste. I would put them against any tomatoe.
But I will admit to having really fallen in love with the taste of Creoles so I might be a tad biased.
pgrundy on April 08, 2008:
Mmmmmm..homegrown tomatoes! Great hub robie2! We are planting a vegetable garden this year, and I plan to try several kinds of tomatoes---never have a jersey tomato, but Indiana and Michigan tomatoes are none to shabby! The ones you get in winter, I agree--they are barely even tomatoes.
Sherri from Southeastern Pennsylvania on April 08, 2008:
As usual, another great hub! Being a Jersey girl myself, I am in total accord with you about everything you said about Jersey tomatoes. The only time they travel well is when my mother buys me a basketful, carefully places it in her car, and drives two hours to my home in Pennsylvania to make a very special delivery. My mouth is watering already. | <urn:uuid:8c773791-ddb9-41aa-bcd4-263a04463d31> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://discover.hubpages.com/food/History-and-Lore-of-the-Jersey-Tomato-Recipes-Tips | 2022-10-07T08:15:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030338001.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20221007080917-20221007110917-00681.warc.gz | en | 0.964858 | 6,877 | [

Dhaka – The nightingale of modern Bangla song Shahnaz Rahmatullah has been died of cardiac arrest in Dhaka at the age of 67.
Rahmatullah, who was renowned for melodious singing with an illustrated career, breathed her last at her Bardhara residence in the city on Saturday night.
The singer will be laid to eternal rest at Banani graveyard in Dhaka after Zorh prayers Sunday, her family said.
The first funeral prayers of the singer will be held at the Park Mosque in Baridhara Abul Bashar Rahmatullah, her husband, said.
She left behind husband, one son, a daughter and a host of relatives and admirers to mourn her death.
Born on January 2, 1952 to M Fazlul Haq and Asiya Haq, she started her career as a singer in the early age. Late actor Zafar Iqbal and music director Anwar Parvez were her siblings.
Rahmatullah was awarded Ekushey Padak, National Film Award, Shilpakala Academy Award and Bangladesh Film Journalist Association Award during her successful career. | <urn:uuid:e8d6f9d4-cd7f-41a7-bafd-14eeac322f78> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://newsnextbd.com/shahnaz-rahmatullah-passes-away/ | 2022-09-25T15:22:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334579.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20220925132046-20220925162046-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.980704 | 245 | [

The PRO is our high performance top of the line boom made with high modulus carbon pre-preg full monocoque body and tail extension with extreme rigidity and lightweight.
The diameter and the the grip varies according to the discipline and related boom size; 25mm diameter for the 140, / 27mm for the 160 and 29 for the 180 boom.
With a high friction contact surface against the mast, a robust rope hook and a boom lever to allow effortless high-tension when trimming and locking the boom in position.
The double pin lock system provides a very safe and tight connection between the boom monocoque body and the carbon tail-end, even when extended in full length.
|140-200||60 cm||25 mm||Tapered||39 cm||2.4 kg||Double Pin|
|160-220||60 cm||27 mm||Tapered||39 cm||2.5 kg||Double Pin|
|180-240||60 cm||29 mm||Tapered||49 cm||3.1 kg||Double Pin|
XTERNAL TAIL FITTINGS
External tail fittings provide two main advantages compared to a integrated fitting solution:
1. Lower weight.
2. Stronger tail end. No weak points in the mould.
DOUBLE PIN LOCK
For precise load distribution, the Pro Carbon boom series all feature the double pin lock system for a stiff connection between the boom body and tail end, even when maximally extended.
All PRO carbon booms include a integrated shim for RDM masts fitting.
THE BOOM HEAD
Designed for maximum grip and tight-lock to the mast with a high friction contact surface. The PRO Carbon boom will stay in place even during hard landings and thanks to the heavy-duty rope hook will ensure stability and a boom lever that allows you to effortless apply tension when trimming the boom to in position.
OUTLINE AND TAIL WIDTH
The outline and width of the boom deliver the balance between power and control. The outline on the shorter booms are designed to be closer to the rig for control specifically for Wave, Freestyle and Foil sails. The 180 size booms wider outlines better suited for freeride sails and speed control.
A wider tail generates more power while a narrower tail provides high control. This positions varies with the wind strength and individual windsurfing disciplines, for this reason, each boom size is individually designed and developed. | <urn:uuid:3dda1bfd-0640-4f56-8014-304836467ef6> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.radikal.it/shop/windsurf/nuovo/boma/i-99-boom-c100/ | 2022-09-26T23:14:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334942.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20220926211042-20220927001042-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.849062 | 541 | [

This past weekend, Jamie and I celebrated Mother’s Day with my family here in Texas. We had a nice brunch at our house and then drove out to Driftwood, TX, to see the house that Jamie and I are currently in the process of building. We’re planning on moving into the new house sometime this fall and we find ourselves driving out there to check out the progress almost every weekend. At this point, the foundation has been poured and framing has almost been completed.
As we walked around the property yesterday, I found myself thinking a lot about the future and more specifically our future kids. We largely built this house with them in mind. The one thing I find myself thinking about more than anything is the importance of creating a strong foundation for our future kids. Just as a great house is built on a strong foundation or a beautiful large oak tree is standing tall with deep roots in the earth, so too does a happy, healthy individual need to have a strong base, as well.
Not only did the house make me think of this, but as we drove back from looking at the progress of our house we drove by the schools that our future kids will eventually attend. It made me think, what are some of the most important things I want my future kids to learn from Jamie and I? While school is a vital place for learning, one of the most underrated yet important places to learn is in your own household. Parental guidance is more important now than ever.
What I want my future kids to learn more than anything is to think for themselves. I want them to understand that stereotypes, black and white thinking, and judging people or situations in such a way that you simply lump them into categories is debilitating to your intellectual and spiritual growth. I want them to understand that the world is not easy to understand. You can’t neatly piece everything together like a puzzle or connect dots like it’s some sort of game.
I want my kids to understand the importance of always taking a step back when opinions or information is given to them. Whether it be from the TV, friends, or even their own mom and dad, I want them to analyze and question what everyone has to say and choose for themselves what they think is the right opinion to take. Don’t let the world or society pressure you into thinking there are only two sides to every conversation and that’s it. That’s not true. There can always be some truth taken from both sides. You just have to figure out which stance you want to take on a case by case basis.
Don’t let political parties define you. Don’t let religious denominations or beliefs define you. Seek truth not acceptance. Listen to others as you should listen to yourself. You may be surprised by how much truth you learn from someone you would least expect it. While it is great and important to have beliefs and opinions, it is just as important to have your heart and mind open to the opinions of others because they may surprise you. For example, you may believe in God, but it is important to listen to others who don’t. You can always learn something from them or the conversation and by listening and having conversation with them they will respect you all the more for it.
How many of you grew up hearing the phrase, “If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you?” More than likely your parents said that more than once in your lifetime. I know mine did! It’s good advice because life is very much this way. Oftentimes, many people will base most of their actions on whether or not it’s popular or not. That doesn’t make it right and that doesn’t make it true. I want my kids to recognize this and understand that sometimes taking the road less travelled will gift you wisdom and knowledge that you never would have gained taking the popular route.
It takes a strong foundation to think for yourself. It takes a strong foundation to be secure enough in yourself to “float upstream”. It takes a strong foundation to withstand the anger, bullying, insecurity of others who are offended by your differing opinions on topics. It takes a strong foundation to stand up for truth and always seek it regardless of what others think, including your friends and family.
Not enough people have this strength in our world today. I want my kids to strive for this and I want to do what I can to help guide them toward that strength. The strongest roots lead to the healthiest growth and the most beautiful blooms. I’m confident that with the help of God our kids will understand the importance of having a strong foundation and will use this as ammo and armor as they venture off into the world as adults someday. | <urn:uuid:e692f007-39fa-488a-afcd-0b1711c3f030> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://jeremymcbeemusic.com/blog/blog/6626455/strong-foundation | 2022-09-28T06:34:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335124.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220928051515-20220928081515-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.973527 | 978 | [

Yesterday was going to be a day of routine and mundane tasks: bookkeeping, workflow management, writing business emails, and so on. As a professional photographer and artist, this stuff has to get done! But looking out at the garden, I saw a fresh crop of red poppies and some blue clematis. I knew they were doomed as the day warmed-up, so making art with the floral material was a now-or-never proposition!
With Phyllis and the kids over at the Karate Dojo, in the cool air of the morning, I cranked the music up, and arranged and photographed the flowers on my light box. I do like to play in Photoshop as well as the camera! As the day got warmer and the kids came home filling the house with laughter and chatter and happy noise, I used LAB color to invert the image, and added some butterflies and a textured background. Altogether a happy day of play at home for me! | <urn:uuid:7ee5ade5-85a7-44d9-a7b8-4d3a6552253e> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.digitalfieldguide.com/blog/13425 | 2022-09-28T05:44:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335124.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220928051515-20220928081515-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.968037 | 202 | [

Having an open space at your home is an escape from the mad world around you. You can sit back and relax or have a party there. It is your sweet and special place. To make the most of it you must make it look beautiful as well as useful. You can bring a new life to the whole area by adding a dash of fresh paint or oil. You can get decking oil or paint in loads of colour and finish. The colour shall reflect your personality. So if you are a subtle person you can go in for the elegant look of a simple deck oil polish on the wooden deck. You shall also have to take care of the amount of heat and rain that the deck receives to decide upon the colour that you want.
Here are a few reasons why you must opt for the decking oil or paint:
- Neat and clean: once you decide to give the place a new colour the whole place and the deck will look fresh and clean. Once you begin oiling the deck you must keep it clear of any obstacles so that each corner is covered. You will be able to see the whole place in one glance and also come up with a great new way of arranging things. You can rearrange stuff to give it a new look. Try to keep the space clutter-free so that you can move around freely. Also, it will be must easier to maintain. Regular sweeping or maybe washing with water will do the trick. This whole idea is pocket friendly than changing to tiles or woods altogether. The life of the deck oil can be up to around five years if kept properly.
- Moisture lock:excess moisture will not reach the deck to rot it. So once you have invested in a good oil you can be carefree for a long time. you will have enhanced its life by a decade or so. Even heavy rain will not ruin the deck. You can just wipe it and ready to use.
- Colour options: you can get different types of wooden colours in the deck oils. They can be light brown or dark tan. It is up to you. if you want the wood to shine through you can go in for a light shade. But if you think it has got old and you want to cover it up go for a darker shade.
- Coverage:it will cover up any cracks or flaws in your deck. Regular rubbing will bring in the shine. You will not have to get it oiled again and again. This will increase the life of your deck and make it stronger.
- Quick-drying:the oils are quick to dry. They will keep your counters and deck safe from the sun. also the oils are safe to be used around the kids. so even if you have kids you can use them without any fear. | <urn:uuid:f77569ba-3eb9-4c28-ba5e-02ae0d8c3cb5> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://betterhomeguide.com/how-to-get-a-beautiful-deck/ | 2022-09-30T21:44:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335504.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20220930212504-20221001002504-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.95853 | 566 | [

May 17, 2010 - 10:00 am (CET)
- OMV and ICEP give a positive interim assessment after six months
- Basic concept planned for 10 model schools; first training courses have started for parents and teachers; 1,441 school-starter packs distributed
- Since 1st October 2009, every time a cup of VIVA coffee is sold at OMV filling stations in Austria and Germany one cent is donated towards the education of children in Nicaragua, which is the coffee’s country of origin
OMV established the corporate social responsibility (CSR) project ‘VIVA mi escuela’ (‘Long live my school’) in cooperation with the Austrian Development Organisation ICEP to help improve primary education in Nicaragua. Since 1st October 2009, one cent of every cup of VIVA coffee sold in Austria and Germany has been donated to the project. Meanwhile almost 4 million cups of VIVA coffee have been sold in both countries, raising total funds of EUR 40,000 in the first six months.
Harald Joichl, Head of OMVs filling station business in Austria and Germany: “For us it was important right from the start to provide direct aid to people in Nicaragua. In order to ensure a professional approach, we brought on board a well-known development organisation. ICEP has a great deal of experience thanks to its links with local partner organisations and takes a solution-based approach to issues. We are delighted to see first signs of success after such a short period of time.”
Providing the right help means acting quickly
For ICEP, the key to success lies in constructive cooperation with local authorities. “Education is a state function in developing countries as well. However, the OMV project ‘VIVA mi escuela’ enables us to help in precisely those areas where the state is unable to provide funding: in the provision of lesson materials and the training of parents and teachers. That is the basis for a constructive cooperation,” said Astrid Taus of ICEP, in comments about the positive development to date.
The greatest success so far: School registrations sank dramatically when school started in February, but some personal inquiries quickly established that this was for a variety of reasons such as a lack of money for school materials and clothing; illness among the children; and a lack of understanding among families about the importance of attending school.
Appropriate measures were taken with the approval of the public authorities, such as the provision of 1,441 school-starter packs for children from socially weak families, longer medical consultation periods, workshops, and information campaigns targeted at parents. Through these measures, it was possible to increase the number of school registrations from almost 900 to more than 1,400.
“We wanted to cooperate with an organisation that has a high level of expertise and is well acquainted with local conditions. In addition, we place considerable value on the fact that ICEP invests the funds in a sustainable way to ensure long-term improvements,” said Joichl.
Learning with the multiplier effect
One objective of the ‘VIVA mi escuela’ school project is to adapt the curriculum in cooperation with the relevant local authorities. “It’s a complex issue to make adjustments in the educational domain,” said Maira Reyes, one of the local trainers of ‘VIVA mi escuela’. “We have to be active on many levels simultaneously: as well as the children’s education, a primary objective is to ensure that teaching staff have adequate training. We have established that the majority of teachers are not really in a position to pass on acquired knowledge. At the same time, we made efforts right from the start to involve the parents as much as possible. Some 250 parents took part in school committees in the first six months and that has far exceeded our expectations. After all, many parents are themselves unable to read and write.”
A total of 600 parents have passed a special training course in the meantime. This training helps them to provide the best support possible for their children’s education. Around 100 teachers and school directors are being specially trained in an education programme, and around 55 of these are being trained as mentors. This will enable more teachers to be coached and trained indirectly. The multiplier effect plays an important role at all levels and is the reason why it has been possible to form a basic concept for 10 model schools in the north-western region of Madriz. These model schools should serve both as an example and as training centres for other schools.
The programme in the first six months has been very successful and was implemented according to plan. The educational activities that have been established will be further intensified in the next few months and the ongoing support and cooperation with the schools in the Nicaraguan coffee region will be expanded.
Coffee from VIVA
There are currently around 170 OMV filling stations with VIVA shops throughout Austria. The extensive coffee range available at the VIVA world of indulgence includes more than 10 different coffee variations made from 100% best Arabica beans. From Latte Macchiato to a double espresso – all coffee specialities are available either to drink on the spot or to take away in handy “ to go” cups.
“We Austrians are European champions of coffee drinking and we have a long tradition of enjoying coffee. VIVA shows how drinking coffee can be linked to social engagement, since not only does every cup of VIVA coffee taste great but it also really does some good,” said Joichl.
OMV guarantees a minimum annual contribution of EUR 50,000 for ‘VIVA mi escuela’. The project is planned to run for three years, with an option to extend it.
ICEP – global empowerment
The Austrian Development Organization ICEP was founded in 1996 as a private and independent initiative to make an effective contribution to global poverty alleviation.
ICEP is convinced that through education and training poor people in developing countries can become the driving forces behind their own development. This approach has been defined by ICEP as “empowerment”. The first step of empowerment is to provide new perspectives and stimulate a sense of initiative. Thus, ICEP invests in brain power and supports people in developing countries through education and training programs to discover and develop their own talents and skills and build up their expertise. ICEP conceives and implements projects in Africa, Latin America and Central Asia with the support of local partners.
In Austria, ICEP main task consists in sensitizing and raising the awareness of Austrian companies about the needs and possibilities in developing countries, addressing the fight against global poverty as a benefit for the economy. ICEP supports Austrian companies in their efforts to translate global CSR from theory into practice and to manage CSR project developments from concept to reality.

Keep Emotions at Bay When Investing In Stocks
Q: I always do my research whenever I buy or sell in the stock market, but somehow I could not execute my plan well because I easily get carried away by my emotions. How do I manage my emotions when I get too excited or scared of the market? —Zerah Mae by email
Trading in the stock market can be very stressful and painful because it involves a lot of emotional decisions that affect your money.
One reason why many investors lose money in the stock market is they cannot control their emotions, and this often leads to poor investment decisions. Research has shown that losing or winning in the stock market is linked to the area of the brain that responds to pain and greed.
When you lose money, your brain remembers the pain. The same goes with making money, wherein your brain remembers the greed. Between the two, it is the memory of pain that keeps you from moving on, especially if you have suffered so much emotionally after experiencing a string of losses in the market.
Trading in the stock market is more than knowing the fundamentals of the stock or identifying the best price to buy or sell a stock. It is also about having the right mindset in managing your emotions and staying objective in your decision making.
Here are five ways your emotions can get the best of you and the possible consequences.
1. Trying to recover losses back quickly by taking revenge.
It is all right to be angry when you make the wrong trades and lose money but to trade immediately in the hope that you can recover your losses quickly may be the worst possible trade that you can make.
Normally, when you try to make an emotional trade because you are so desperate to win back your losses, you make a larger bet without making a rational decision. You may win or lose in the process but trading this way will make you more like a gambler than an investor. Sooner or later, you may lose all your money in just a short time.
2. Staying on a losing trade hoping the stock will recover soon.
When you make a wrong bet and your stock starts to fall, holding on to the stock hoping that things will turn around in the near future may be a riskier approach because it exposes you to unlimited losses.
For example, if you bought PLDT at P3,486 in 2014 and the stock started its downfall afterwards, you should have cut your losses at 10 percent by getting out at P3,137. At 10 percent loss, you can easily make up for it by reinvesting the proceeds in other stocks.
If you just held on to the stock, your investment would have lost 58 percent by now because PLDT’s price has been declining for three years in a row. The stock will have to almost double for you to just break even. In the meantime, your money is tied up to the stock.
3. Focusing too much on short-term gains without looking at the big picture.
Sometimes, because of your fear of losing, you tend to lock in your profits the moment your stock makes little gains. You may make some short-term profits on good days but on a very bad day, one wrong bet can wipe out all of your accumulated gains.
The way to build wealth in the stock market is to create a portfolio that is founded on long-term investing.
4. Always changing your trading strategy after a loss.
It is very difficult to judge if your strategy is effective or not if you keep on changing it every time you don’t make a successful trade. You need to understand why it is not working. The problem may not be the strategy. It may be the way you execute.
5. Checking your profit and loss every time the PSE index changes.
Paying too much attention to the amount of losses or profits your portfolio makes at current prices can easily make you lose your objectivity. If you see your losses escalating every day as share prices fall, you may panic and make the wrong decision to sell. The same is true if you see your profits growing and you get excited to cash in immediately without looking at your long-term target price. -Henry Ong

After being such a Deirdre Of The Sorrows about one of the Abbey’s recent offerings, I am determined to be nice about Jimmy’s Hall.
I went to see it for the cast. Actors Lisa Lambe and Ruth McGill are two of the soundest leading ladies in Irish theatre, and they joined a cast including Bosco Hogan, Donal O’Kelly and the fiddle player Aindrias De Staic. I also got offered a free ticket (thank you Fáilte Ireland). So I went. Sure, why wouldn’t you.
Let’s jump straight to the extended go if / avoid if section…
Go if – you like musicals! And/or you love Irish music in an all-embracing way (eg not just posh trad like The Gloaming)
Go if – you’re a tourist!
Avoid if – you’re a writer!
Avoid if – you don’t like musicals. Also, avoid if you find spirited American audience members clapping along at every song, as if a play is a session, when it is not a session, it is, in fact, a play, irritating or cringeworthy.
Go if – you like theatre that is tasty, lively and my, oh my, quite good looking
Avoid if – you like theatre that is high in nutritional value
Avoid if – you’re the ‘Thinking Man’ that people refer to when they say ‘It’s The Thinking Mans’ dot dot dot…
Go if – you love Lisa Lambe – her voice is a shining star of the production
Avoid if – you like your theatre naturalistic, gritty, your humour more than vaguely humorous
Go if – you want a brief reminder of the threat that fascism held across Europe, including in Ireland, during the 30’s.
Go if – You love bashing De Valera.
Avoid if – You’re me.
Go if – YOU LOVE AN AUL DANCE! | <urn:uuid:9e2fbfcd-d314-4a85-9716-a9c62c068dcc> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://siannimhuiri.blog/2018/08/20/what-i-just-saw-jimmys-hall-directed-by-graham-mcclaren/ | 2022-10-02T06:42:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337287.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20221002052710-20221002082710-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.902053 | 432 | [

North Haven Backyard Club imagined it would be a great notion to communicate about our gardens and our pets. Whilst numerous of us the place ready to work from household in the course of subsequent shutdown because of to Covid, you may have been 1 of the families that made the decision to add a pet to the combine, largely a dog. Rescues and adoptions were at an all time higher throughout the starting of the shut down and are even now heading robust. With that currently being a fantastic factor, have you thought about what is escalating in your lawn? Is it safe and sound for your four legged close friends? What transpires if your pet ingests the plant, is it safe and sound? Will rubbing up in opposition to your crops be harmless? If you have a dog pretty much just about every plant is at their level for you to concern it. The plants, the mulch, the fertilizer and pest management you use all need to have to be taken into consideration. When picking what to plant think about planting perennials all over your dwelling. Perennials are great due to the fact you do not have to retain replanting, they occur up 12 months following 12 months. The following record of plants that are harmless for our 4 legged close friends and are some of my favorites that I grow in my garden.
ROSES- did you know that roses are non toxic for dogs. The only risk is the thorns, with curious pups and the thorns currently being at just the appropriate top, you have to enjoy there noses. Just place a smaller fence close to the base of the bush. Roses like a bit acidic soil with great drainage, and have to have 5-6 hrs of sunlight daily.
BEE BALM- Can increase in possibly suns or shade and necessitates moist soil to develop. Bee Balm is a harmless solution for your pet and smells wonderful in your back garden. It can develop up to 4 toes tall, and will come in colours ranging from brilliant red to gentle pink,
COLUMBINE-with its brightly colored flowers, its one particular of the Hummingbirds preferred flowers to visit. The blooms are non harmful to your pet. They like to grow in partial shade and very well drained soil.
HOLLYHOCKS-are not toxic to our furry friends, but the leaves and stems have fibers that can irritate you pet if they rub up towards them, it can lead to a rash like what transpires when we touch fiberglass. No hazard if this transpires, its just itchy. Hollyhocks grow in well drained soil and can be up to 8 toes tall when planted in whole solar and excellent soil.
TIGER LILY- is non poisonous to your pup, but not your cat, so be cautious if you have both equally. They can increase up to 5 toes tall with brightly coloured bouquets in total to partial sunlight, and prefers to mature in moist soil.
HENS AND CHICKS- are a rapid growing succulent that is tremendous secure to plant all-around animals. They are non toxic to canines and are really effortless to expand and care for, will not have to have a large amount of water and will tolerate whole to partial solar. They can grow in any sort of soil and are fantastic for rock gardens.
PETUNIA- will not harm your pet, can tolerate heat and do not have to have a whole lot of h2o to mature. Moreover they arrive in lots of various hues, solids ranging sort white to deep purple, to stripped purple/white, pink/white, purple/white or speckled in each individual coloration.
Entertaining Information- the above plants are fantastic for outdoors, a couple of indoor vegetation to take into consideration are African Violets and the Spider Plant. Both equally are non poisonous and like indirect sunlight.

Kate Middleton has got to be feeling very good right now because she is reportedly in very high favor with her boss—aka her grandmother-in-law and the queen of England. ItÆs easy to forget as we fawn over Middleton’s fashion and enviable hair that when she’s out at engagements and on royal tours, it’s all in service and at the behest of Queen Elizabeth II.
“The Queen is a fan,” a source told Vanity Fair's royals reporter, Katie Nicholl. “Kate is unflappable. Her mantra is very like the Queen’s keep-calm-and-carry-on approach in life, and she has the added benefit of making the Royal Family seem almost normal and in touch.” There’s been a lot of drama surrounding the family of late, including rumors of sibling rifts and lawsuits against certain tabloids, so it makes sense that the queen would appreciate the Duchess of Cambridge’s calm, cool, and collected demeanor. Reportedly, the monarch was also very happy with Middleton and Prince William’s recent royal tour of Pakistan.
“It feels very much like this has been Kate’s year,” royals biographer Claudia Joseph told Vanity Fair. “She looks happy, in control, and there’s a new confidence about her. I think Kate seems much happier than a year ago. She has three lovely children, has been honored by the queen for her hard work, and is really well liked not just here but around the world.
“She’s very much the girl next door, from how she dresses to how she behaves and interacts with people on engagements,” Joseph continued. “She is likable and relatable, and that has made her very popular.” And there definitely have been lots of good stories about the Duchess of Cambridge lately—like when she was spotted shopping at a chain store with Prince George and Princess Charlotte lookin for Halloween costumes or how she had a mom’s night out at a pub with women from the kids’ school. She’s also reportedly trying to help her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, after the Duchess of Sussex opened up about how difficult she’s finding it to handle the tabloid scrutiny.
“They [the Cambridges] seem to be making a real effort, and it’s paying off,” another source told Vanity Fair. “They are getting great press.”
Well done, Kate. But now can you give an interview about every single hair product you use? | <urn:uuid:897a795e-d461-4f23-9fe8-f1f350cd1670> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.glamour.com/story/queen-elizabeth-relatable-kate-middleton | 2022-10-02T05:44:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337287.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20221002052710-20221002082710-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.97733 | 554 | [

Today, I received the first letter from the recipient of one of Rob’s organs.
For the last 2 years, I anxiously awaited receiving this letter, not knowing how I would feel when it finally reached me.
The Gift of Hope organization, handled the recipient to donor family communication in the most sensitive and caring manner. I had a choice not to open it, they didn’t leave it to a chance discovery, they explained everything, and left me to decide if and when I would read this letter.
I knew this moment would come eventually, I knew I would be emotional, but I didn’t have the slightest inkling how I would really feel. I was only mentally prepared for finally knowing for sure that small physical parts of Rob, my sweet love, still live out there, in someone, they never died, they still take in the oxygen, blood still rushes through. His DNA is now merged with another, and is still alive!
The man who carries my husband’s kidney is 55, married with 2 kids and a grandson. His family and him went through agonizing 7 year wait for a matching kidney and through dialysis, before receiving Rob’s gift of hope and new life.
During this most challenging wait time, the man devoted his efforts to caring for his family, his home and his many plants and vegetables. He feels much better now, and he is recovering well. He walks 2 hours every morning and is getting ready to start working again!
I am endlessly proud of my love! My dear husband believed in kindness, saving lives and making a difference in as many lives as he could touch in his short life. And so he did. ❤

The concept of ecological indicator species was foreshadowed long ago by using canaries — small tropical birds, sensitive to invisible gases that could kill miners — to warn the men if carbon monoxide levels were dangerously high. An expression some of us absent-mindedly use, “the canary in the coal mine”, comes from that rather exploitive history of animal use.
Other small winged creatures, bats — Earth’s only true fliers among mammals (“flying” squirrels of North America and Asia and “flying” lemurs of Asia being expert gliders) — may be inadvertently playing a similar role in modern society. Bats in the Adirondack Park, particularly, depend largely these days on artificial subterranean chambers for hibernacula, perhaps largely because many of their original winter homes were somehow usurped or destroyed by people. Before recent die-offs of bats, many thousands of several species gathered each winter in old mine shafts from the era of iron and graphite mining. These old mines function for bats much like caves do, deep enough to have constant temperatures and humidity levels. (For more background on bats, see Katie Shepard’s earlier blog on this site, Fish & Wildlife Service’s White-nose Syndrome website, and Bat Conservation International’s website and publications.)
Aliens Undermining Bat Populations
Then, tragically, about twelve years ago a tourist inadvertently carried an alien fungus (likely on his or her shoes, after visiting a cave in Europe) into one of New York’s natural but commercialized caves. Thus, evidence suggests, was white-nose syndrome (WNS) brought to the United States; and since its arrival in New York, it has spread like the plague through hibernating bat colonies across the East and Midwest. The alien fungus has precipitated a biological meltdown, affecting most hibernating bat species in the East, with effects cascading down the food web.
Because of this one barely visible invasive species of fungus, millions of bats have suffered lingering hunger and hypothermia and death. Populations have plummeted. Fortunately, individuals of some bat species are showing resistance; and researchers now think some populations may at least partially recover. For the Northern Long-eared Bat, however, extinction is a dire possibility, as few individuals of that species show resistance to the pathogen. Its cousin the Indiana Bat was already listed under the federal Endangered Species Act, and is now in still more trouble.
A cold hard lesson from this ecological disaster is that global trade and travel mean moving species around in ways that can wreak havoc for our wild neighbors. Another difficult reminder is that some habitats are so sensitive and critical that we should just stay out of them — such as where bats or snakes or other species susceptible to human disturbance congregate to sleep away the winter.
All bats are highly mobile (volant, if you want the fancy word for flying!), and even the winter hibernators migrate at least short distances between summer and nursery roosts and winter homes. These movements, too, urge us to live with careful consideration for our wild neighbors. Giant wind turbines have been shown to harm migrating bats (suggesting that energy production should be at residential and local scales, as well as being renewable). Bats will have a better chance of recovering from the scourge of white-nose syndrome if we protect large intact forests and free-flowing waterways, as we are doing relatively well — but not yet well enough — in New York’s Adirondack Park.
