The soothing tones of a classical lullaby may help to relieve the pain newborns can feel from routine medical procedures. The mellifluous method could be a beneficial addition to other pain-easing tactics.
In a randomized clinical trial at a hospital nursery, newborns received a sugar solution — a standard method to lessen pain — before a heel prick. Around half of the infants also had a classical lullaby playing from speakers near their beds before, during and after the procedure. The lullaby group scored lower on a newborn pain scale at the time of the prick and after, compared with the group that only got sugar, researchers report August 29 in Pediatric Research.
“Since they gave sucrose, it’s hard to say yes, music by itself would help,” says Mallory Perry-Eaddy, a pediatric intensive care unit nurse and a nurse scientist at the University of Connecticut in Storrs. But combining music with other pain-relieving methods “could be really useful.”
Until fairly recently, the medical community did not believe newborns experienced pain. But over the last several decades, studies have revealed that infants do perceive pain, and they may be more sensitive to painful stimuli than adults are. Enduring repeated pain-inducing procedures without pain-relief treatment can have lasting neurological consequences for infants, including a heightened perception of pain.
“It’s very important that we do try to stay on top of [pain] prior to procedures,” says Perry-Eaddy, rather than just trying to alleviate pain afterwards.
Heel pricks and shots are among the routine procedures newborns have soon after birth that can cause pain. The heel prick produces a few drops of blood for tests, including to check for certain disorders. Generally, for minor procedures like a heel prick, doctors and nurses turn to pain-reducing methods that don’t involve medication, says Saminathan Anbalagan, a neonatologist at Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center in the Bronx, N.Y. Among these methods are skin-to-skin contact between a parent and an infant, breastfeeding and giving a newborn a sugar solution.
At Anbalagan’s hospital, the sugar solution combined with any of the other non-pharmacological approaches is the standard protocol, he says. He and his colleagues wanted to study music as another potential option that could be easily implemented and is cost-effective.
The research team randomly sorted 100 infants born at Lincoln into a lullaby and a no-music group. For the lullaby group, the song “Deep Sleep” from Bedtime Mozart: Classical Lullabies for Babies began playing 20 minutes before the heel prick and continued for another five minutes after. The researchers assessed pain with a neonatal infant pain scale that considers newborns’ facial expressions, whether they cry, their breathing patterns and other signs. The pain scale ranges from 0 to 7.
During the heel prick, the no-music group had an average pain score of just under 7. But serenading the infants with a classical lullaby reduced the score to below 5. After that peak, the overall score steadily dropped for both groups in the next five minutes, with the lullaby group continuing to score lower.
More research is needed to better understand neonatal pain and determine the most effective ways to relieve it, including the optimal combination of methods, Anbalagan says. But “proven and safe therapies are currently underused for routine minor, yet pain procedures,” according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Along with investigating the effectiveness of music as a pain-relief method, Anbalagan and his colleagues sought to bring awareness to newborn pain with their study.
“While the misconception [about newborns and pain] has faded, it continues to be a common way of thinking in some health care settings,” he says. “Why some hospitals don’t have protocols for pain relief from minor procedures in neonates remains puzzling.”

Let’s face it, you cannot bury The Munsters. Oh, you can certainly give it a shot — and people have — but it’s only a matter of time before the first family of horror comedy come back, as they’re preparing to do now for NBC. Their longevity, of course, is not completely surprising considering this particular family dynamic.
The grandfather (“Grandpa”) is a vampire, as is his daughter, Lily, who is married to a variation of the Frankenstein monster, Herman. Their son, Eddie “Wolfgang” Munster, is a werewolf, and they have a beautiful, perfectly normal niece named Marilyn, who is considered the freak of the family. Sounds insane, doesn’t it? But let’s face it, the 1960s were a wacky time for comedies, when writers and producers would throw whatever came to mind out there and see what would stick. And, man, the things that did.
Wacky shows of the 1960s
There was the advertising exec who fell in love with and married a witch (Bewitched), the astronaut stranded on a desert island who was rescued by, and began a relationship with, a genie in a bottle (I Dream of Jeannie), the guy whose late mother came back to him — as his 1928 Porter car (My Mother the Car), a comedy about life in a Nazi P.O.W. camp during World War II— if you can even imagine such a thing now (Hogan’s Heroes), the martian who came to visit and wouldn’t leave (My Favorite Martian), a nun whose habit allowed her to fly (The Flying Nun) and a talking horse, of course, of course (Mr. Ed). And then, again, there was The Munsters, which looks like it just may outlive them all.
As reported by Deadline, Odd Mom Out creator Jill Kargman and Late Night host Seth Meyers are currently developing this new take that will see the Munsters clan actually relocate from 1313 Mockingbird Lane in California to “hipster” Brooklyn, New York. It will be interesting to see that culture clash.
The Munsters only ran for two seasons on CBS beginning in 1964, but has remained alive in reruns ever since. The original show starred Fred Gwynne as Herman, Yvonne De Carlo as Lily, Al Lewis as Grandpa, Butch Patrick as Eddie, and both Beverley Owen and Pat Priest as Marilyn. In its final year it spawned a big-screen version called Munster, Go Home, which took the family to London following the death of a relative.
In 1973, ABC aired a forgettable (you don’t remember it, do you?) animated film called The Mini-Munsters, for which only Al Lewis provided the voice to his character; however, Lewis, Gwynne, and De Carlo came back together for the live action 1981 TV movie The Munsters’ Revenge. In it, the owner of a wax museum creates robots of Herman and Grandpa that are used to commit robberies. (Yeah, we don’t really get that one, either.)
From 1988-91, audiences were given 72 episodes of The Munsters Today. It seems the family had been asleep in Grandpa’s lab for 22 years and, reawakened, now had to try and fit into a whole new world. The stars of this one were John Schuck as Herman, Lee Meriwether as Lily, Howard Morton as Grandpa, Jason Marsden as Eddie, and Hilary Van Dyke as Marilyn. Another one lost to the mists of time (not necessarily a bad thing).
TV’s first family of horror
In 1995, we saw the release of the TV movie Here Come The Munsters, which served as a prequel to the original show: After being persecuted by the people of Transylvania, the family learns about their niece Marilyn in California and decides to relocate. This one featured Edward Herrmann (Gilmore Girls) as Herman, Veronica Hamel as Lily, Robert Morse as Grandpa, Christine Taylor as Marilyn, and Matthew Botuchis as Eddie.
Most recently, there was the TV movie Mockingbird Lane that was designed to be the pilot for a new TV series. This one was different from the others — if it had gone to series, it would have been an hour-long dramedy produced by Bryan Fuller (American Gods, Star Trek: Discovery). Now, seriously, have you ever watched an episode of The Munsters and wondered what it would be like if it was a dramatic show? It didn’t work with The Bradys in the ’90s and it didn’t seem likely to work here. Interesting casting, though: Jerry O’Connell was Herman, Porta de Rossi was Lily, Charity Wakefield was Marilyn, Mason Cook was Eddie, and Eddie Izzard was Grandpa. Deciding not to go with a series, NBC aired it as a Halloween TV movie in 2012 instead.
The modern version
The new version from Meyers and Kargman returns to The Munsters’ roots by turning it back into a 30-minute sitcom. You’d think after all these incarnations, there’d be no more room for Munsters mania — but you’d be wrong. The beauty of the franchise is that in the proper hands it can easily adapt to changing times, nicely commenting on the world around us. And they can get away with pretty much anything they want, because the comments are coming from monsters…uh, Munsters. So watch out, Brooklyn: here comes Herman and the gang, and we can’t wait! | <urn:uuid:e24cac41-68ce-4cc6-bc1d-1cf8fb93163a> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.womansworld.com/posts/entertainment/the-munsters-reboot-seth-meyers-139344 | 2023-11-29T01:16:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100047.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20231129010302-20231129040302-00252.warc.gz | en | 0.971657 | 1,198 | [

Have you come across any studies which go on to show with considerable evidence that the bodybuilding supplement creatine can promote/speed up hair loss/mpb? There seems to be a lot of “broscience” when searching around, and I’d like to hear the thoughts of a professional.
Over the many years in this business, I have seen supplements that contain steroids (some labeled and some not labeled). I remember an article (didn’t save it) where the FDA caught some supplement company of putting steroids in with the Creatine, and not labeling it. They broke the law. Creatine, by itself, should not cause hair loss. | <urn:uuid:c2fc23ba-cefe-4e88-abb9-ab7b4302db87> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://baldingblog.com/creatine-really-cause-hair-loss/ | 2023-12-01T12:54:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100287.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20231201120231-20231201150231-00052.warc.gz | en | 0.956082 | 137 | [

Life Insurance for Diabetics
Diabetes is a chronic health condition characterized by high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood. It is caused by the body’s inability to produce or properly use insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar. Diabetes can lead to serious health complications, including heart disease, nerve damage, blindness, and kidney disease. It is important for people with Diabetes to manage their condition by following a healthy lifestyle, taking medications as prescribed, and regularly monitoring their blood sugar levels.
For people with Diabetes, obtaining life insurance can be more challenging than for those without the condition. This is because people with Diabetes are at an increased risk of developing serious health complications, which can make them a higher risk to insure. However, this does not mean that it is impossible for people with Diabetes to get life insurance. It is possible to get coverage, but the premiums may be higher than for someone without Diabetes.
There are several factors that life insurance companies consider when determining the premiums for people with Diabetes. These include:
- Type of Diabetes: There are two main types of Diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disorder that occurs when the body’s immune system attacks and destroys the cells that produce insulin. It is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, and it requires lifelong insulin treatment. Type 2 Diabetes is the most common form of Diabetes, and it occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or does not produce enough of it. It is often associated with being overweight and inactive, and it can often be managed through lifestyle changes and medications. Life insurance companies may view people with Type 1 Diabetes as a higher risk because it is a more severe form of the condition and requires more intensive treatment.
- Duration of Diabetes: The longer someone has had Diabetes, the more likely it is that they have developed complications or will develop complications in the future. This is because high blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels and nerves over time. Life insurance companies may consider the length of time someone has had Diabetes when determining their premiums.
- Blood sugar control: People with well-controlled blood sugar levels are generally seen as a lower risk to insure than those with poorly controlled levels. Life insurance companies may ask for records of blood sugar levels to determine how well someone is managing their Diabetes.
- Complications: People with Diabetes who have developed complications, such as heart disease or kidney disease, may be viewed as a higher risk to insure.
- Lifestyle factors: Life insurance companies may also consider other factors that can impact someone’s health, such as their diet, exercise habits, and whether they smoke.
Life Insurance companies will always ask for an individual’s HbA1c reading, this will give them a good indication on how well controlled the condition is. Lots of people are familiar with the term, but below is some information on what the reading:
HbA1c (also known as A1c or glycated Haemoglobin) is a test that measures the average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. It is used to diagnose diabetes and to monitor blood sugar control in people with the condition. The test is usually done on a blood sample taken from a vein in the arm.
In the United Kingdom, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) (https://www.nice.org.uk/) recommends using HbA1c as a diagnostic tool for diabetes. The guidelines for the diagnosis of diabetes state that diabetes is diagnosed when an HbA1c level of 48mmol/mol (6.5%) or above is found on two separate occasions.
For people with Diabetes, HbA1c is an important measure of blood sugar control, and it is recommended that a person’s HbA1c should be measured at least twice a year. The NICE guidelines recommend a target HbA1c level of 48mmol/mol (6.5%) or below for most people with diabetes. Some people may be able to achieve a lower target, depending on their individual circumstances. The goal is to keep HbA1c levels as close to normal as possible, while avoiding low blood sugar (Hypoglycaemia).
It’s worth noting that HbA1c should not be used as a sole measure of blood sugar control, as it doesn’t reflect short-term changes in blood sugar levels. Therefore, it’s important for people with diabetes to also monitor their blood sugar levels regularly and discuss their results with their healthcare team.
If you have Diabetes and are seeking life insurance, it is important to be honest about your condition when applying for coverage. Failing to disclose your Diabetes or providing inaccurate information could result in your policy being denied or cancelled. It is also a good idea to work with a Specialist has experience working with people with Diabetes. Your Life Protected has years of experience helping Diabetics secure cover, if you would like some more information or a quotation, give us a call or submit an enquiry. We’ll help you find a policy that meets your needs and fits your budget.
In conclusion, while having Diabetes may make it more challenging to obtain life insurance, it is often still possible to get coverage. It is important for people with Diabetes to manage their condition and take steps to reduce their risk of complications, as this can help them get more favourable terms on their life insurance policy. | <urn:uuid:38560f6b-ada0-43c2-998d-f220f767685e> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.yourlifeprotected.co.uk/news/life-insurance-for-diabetics/ | 2023-12-01T13:22:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100287.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20231201120231-20231201150231-00052.warc.gz | en | 0.959866 | 1,121 | [

The 2024 Audi A8 is mostly unchanged. Audi’s luxury full-size sedan continues to be powered by a 335-horsepower, turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine. Its sportier performance variant, the S8, generates 563 hp with a turbo 4.0-liter V-8. Both come with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. For 2024, the A8 starts at $89,995 (all pricing includes a $1,095 destination charge).
Goodbye, Vesuvius Gray
Since the lineup’s refresh in 2022, little has changed for the A8 and S8. However, the sedans are no longer available in the metallic Vesuvius Gray exterior color; it has been replaced with Sebring Black. The models will still be available in metallic District Green, Firmament Blue, Florett Silver, Glacier White and Mythos Black. The S8 also comes in Daytona Gray. | <urn:uuid:20e098b9-491c-4c91-bcd7-82160155470d> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://autofinder.cincinnati.com/articles/black-is-back-2024-audi-a8-s8-get-exterior-color-swap-start-at-89995-468086/ | 2023-12-02T14:58:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100427.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20231202140407-20231202170407-00852.warc.gz | en | 0.903141 | 201 | [

For over the past year, TMS have been involved in carrying out numerous Road Safety Audits, at different stages of the design process, on the Section 278 works which form part of the Drakelow Power Station project, known as Drakelow Park.
The former power station site consisted of a series of three, now decommissioned and demolished coal-fired power stations, located south of Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire. The power stations were built on the site of Drakelow Hall, a stately home on the south bank of the river Trent.
The Drakelow Park development, one of the largest brownfield site development opportunities in the Midlands, marks the end of decades of planning to bring thousands of homes to the former power station site. The mixed-used development comprises of up to 2,200 new homes, including a retirement village, new primary school, local centres with commercial and community use, and associated infrastructure, including new parks. Three new roundabout junctions will also provide access to the site, connecting a network of adopted highways.
Future development plans also involve the building of the new Walton bypass and bridge. The bridge will replace the aging single lane temporary Bailey Bridge which can no longer cope with the amount of daily traffic using the 70-year-old structure.
Since July 2022, our auditors Richard Marriott and Lee Williams have carried out various design stage road safety audits to include the Section 278 works for the two main site access roundabouts (northern and southern roundabouts) plus various carriageway widening.
The section 278 works which were audited by our team, consisted of roundabouts being constructed along the existing alignment, with a slight deviation to accommodate the circulatory and provide deflection. The roundabouts will have a 3-metre-wide shared use footway-cycleway running along the northbound lane. The northern roundabout’s arm into the site will go directly into a residential development, and the arm coming off the southern roundabout will serve the commercial business park development at the southern extent of the site, with a priority junction link to the residential site along it.
This extensive project will continue for some years yet and we are certain our audit team will be back to site soon to carry out further Road Safety Audits to support the ongoing developments at Drakelow Park. | <urn:uuid:ebc7e7eb-2d6c-4495-975b-649273f07799> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://tmsconsultancy.co.uk/insights/road-safety-audits-at-former-drakelow-power-station/ | 2023-12-02T16:04:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100427.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20231202140407-20231202170407-00852.warc.gz | en | 0.957163 | 475 | [

Is there something going around
As a Nurse, I can remember people always asking me ‘is there was something going around?’ I would reply, ‘there is always something going around.’ It has been that way for eons and will continue to be that way. This is the biosphere and we either adapt or die. It truly is survival of the fittest. This is why it is imperative that we never take our health for granted; that is if we want to live.
At the start of Covid 19, I said ‘Cold and flu season will never be the same.’ I was right. I guess I have humanity figured out, the bankers figured out, and governments figured out? I called the bailouts, saw the mask coming, and soon the anal swabs, at the airport, to travel with TSA. Ultimately, we are ruled by psychopaths and managed by imbeciles. We are, indeed, in a sad state of affairs for sure.
Dr. Henry Makow wrote a great book called the “Illuminati”. I suggest everyone read it. Money just doesn’t grow on trees. Ours is a complex system, but it runs on ‘money.’ No one ever seems to question what money is, why, and how it comes into being? In fact, humans don’t question much anymore at all these days. Truly Plato’s Allegory of the Cave is a real phenomena, and the elite have it figured out, as the masses stare at their screens, to be told what reality is.
Is there anything going around? Yes, ignorance is for sure. Go back and watch some old George Carlin talking about fat, stupid Americans and germs. The man, a comedian, was genius and ahead of his time. Many comedians are and were.
This supposed Covid 19, that has a recovery rate of 99%, is no different than any of the other 200+ bugs that cause respiratory and gastronomical symptoms. In fact, on any given day, any of us can have a mild cold or a bad cold, a mild flu or a bad flu, a mild stomach bug or we can be hugging the toilet praying to Jesus. It has been that way since the beginning of time and will continue to be that way. It is part of being human.
Our reaction to a pathogen has so many variables at play at the time of occurrence or infection. And it is truly those variables that will determine our bodies responses to such. It will never be one size fits all. ‘Is that normal?’ is another question I often field as a Nurse. Guess what? There is no normal. We are all uniquely human, with our own characteristics and being.
The simple fact is that the world is trying to consume you at this very moment, and one day, it will. The maggots will eat your eyes out and the bacteria will consume your flesh. In fact, if it weren’t for the discovery of antibiotics, half the population would not even be here today. It is reality. The two most valuable commodities that God gives you are time and your health. Take neither for granted.
But whatever you do, give thanks to God for each and every day. Work constantly on your body, your mind and your spirit. Drink plenty of water, eat fruits and vegetables, go to Church on Sundays, wear your seatbelt, exercise vigorously, and keep your hands washed. Treat others the way you would want to be treated. Keep peace and liberty in your heart. | <urn:uuid:95953943-789d-4dea-b022-573cead94a14> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.davidsblackwell.me/post/is-there-something-going-around | 2023-12-02T16:22:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100427.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20231202140407-20231202170407-00852.warc.gz | en | 0.97636 | 740 | [

The pit lane entry of the Losail International Circuit will be changed "dramatically" for Formula 1's inaugural Qatar Grand Prix next month.
MotoGP have visited the Losail venue since 2004 whilst very little single-seater racing has taken place at the track.
Currently, the pit lane entry is on the right-hand side of the track, almost immediately after the exit of the final corner.
F1 Race Director Michael Masi was not able to specify any details but revealed that significant changes will happen when F1 visits Qatar on 19-21 November.
"They are changing the pit lane entry completely," Masi told RacingNews365.com and other select members of the press. "What was the pit lane entry for bikes will change dramatically.
"That work is nearly completed. I'll head there again, prior to Austin, to have a look, but nearly all the works have been completed.
"There's a number of double kerbs that have been installed. The circuit is ostensibly a bike circuit, so apex sausages, so people don't cut corners on the inside, and double kerbs on exits [have been added].
"There's a significant number of barrier upgrades with regards to Tecpro tyres around the entire venue.
"[The] pit lane entry's probably the biggest actual track change."
This year’s Qatar GP was added to the 2021 F1 calendar in place of the cancelled Australian GP.
The event will not take place next year due to the 2022 FIFA World Cup, but a 10-year deal has been agreed starting from 2023.
It's the first F1 track which has predominantly been used for bikes, which is why there have been close inspections by the FIA to ensure it's safe for F1.
"There are big run-offs and that there, but obviously the big parts have been safety requirements for bikes," said Masi.
"When it comes to Tecpro barriers, things like that [are] of a very different ilk in the MotoGP or the FIM world.
"It's been [about] trying to adapt in a relatively short period, which is the other part that we need to consider, that we're not talking about a huge period of time.
"The main one has probably been the pit entry from that side, but garages, paddock space and things like that were all fine. From a circuit end, I think it'll be a good little venue for this year."
F1 Podcast: Do Mercedes need to assert more authority over Hamilton?
It's time for the latest episode of the RacingNews365 podcast, with F1 journalists Dieter Rencken, Thomas Maher and Mike Seymour discussing Lewis Hamilton's strategy drama and much, much more from the Turkish Grand Prix. | <urn:uuid:bb829881-cb8f-4836-a333-ed88ece0316e> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://racingnews365.com/f1-qatar-gp-pit-lane-entry-to-be-changed-completely | 2023-12-03T19:58:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100508.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20231203193127-20231203223127-00752.warc.gz | en | 0.96686 | 576 | [

It’s one of the biggest jobs in your home, cleaning out the fridge. However, if you have the right how-to-clean refrigerator tips, you can get it done quickly and easily. It’s important to clean out your fridge from time to time. Old food or even stuck-on food can create bacteria in your fridge. You can remove all the shelves in your fridge, making it easy to get everything out of the way. There are some tips on how to clean refrigerator shelves and inside walls that make it easy.
Turn Off the Fridge
While there are some cleaning tips to make cleaning your fridge pretty quick, it’s still a big job. You’ll want to shut the power off while you clean the inside. Then you can keep the doors open and not use up the power the fridge would need to maintain the temperature.
First, you’ll need to remove everything from the fridge. Put your perishable fruits, vegetables, and meats in a cooler. Leave other items like condiments and juice on the counter. Check out expiry dates while you’re taking out all the things in your fridge. Also, get rid of anything that nobody has used in a while. It’s just taking up space. Take out the trash with your old food right away.
Remove Shelves and Clean
Fill up your kitchen sink with hot water and an odorless, gentle dishwashing liquid. Don’t make it too hot or you can cause the shelving to crack from the fast change of temperature. In fact, you might want to wait for about 30 minutes before soaking them until they reach room temperature.
Remove any shelves and let them soak in the sink full of suds. While it’s soaking, you can work on the interior walls of your fridge. Once you’re done this, rinse off the shelves in the sink. Any food that was stuck on should come off quite easily. You want to make sure you get all of the dishwashing liquid rinsed off. Let the shelves dry before putting them back in the fridge.
Clean the Inside of the Fridge
There are a few different kinds of cleaners you could use on the inside of your fridge. The common method for cleaning the inside of the refrigerator is with white vinegar and baking soda. There are no chemicals involved and it does a great job of absorbing any odors. If there is stuck-on food, you may need to incorporate a multi-purpose cleaner.
For the general cleaning, fill a spray bottle with two tablespoons of baking soda and hot water. Spray all inside of the fridge with the solution and wipe with a microfiber cloth. You can use a toothbrush to scrub off stubborn food. Let sit for 10 minutes and wipe. How to clean a refrigerator with vinegar includes filling a spray bottle with one part vinegar and three parts water. Use the same instructions as you would when using baking soda.
Clean Outside of the Fridge
Wipe down the outside of the fridge with a warm, soapy cloth or whatever cleaning solution you like to use. Make sure to wipe off the top of the fridge. Dry with paper towels to make your fridge shine. Empty out the drip pan and use a coil cleaning brush to dust off the coils in the back. If you have access, vacuum under and around the fridge.
Fast How to Clean Refrigerator Tips
- When something is spilled, clean it up right away. If it sits, it’s going to be harder to get rid of.
- Make sure you’re putting in clean containers. Wipe condiment bottles and jars before putting them back in the fridge.
- When you thaw out food, put it on a plate or baking sheet to avoid leakage.
- Soak cotton balls in vanilla and leave them in the fridge to freshen them up inside.
- Clean the door seal with a toothbrush. Wipe with a microfiber cloth to dry.
- Scrub tough, stuck-on stains with an abrasive toothpaste.

Rent increase rate concerning residential and roofed workplace rents has been regulated under the Turkish Code of Obligations.
In line with such regulation, the rent increase rate has been determined according to the following provision;
“Agreements of the parties regarding the rental price to be applied in the renewed rental periods are valid provided that it does not exceed the change rate according to the twelve-month averages in the consumer price index in the previous rental year.” The rent increase rate is announced by the Turkish Statistical Institute at the beginning of each month. The increase in the renewed rental year is also realized by considering this rate.
The economic conditions and inflationary environment in our country cause the rent increase rates to be rather high. Such a situation is particularly challenging concerning lessees and also causes the lessors to evict the lessees due to the unpaid rent. In order to prevent this, the lawmaker has brought a new regulation regarding rent increase rates. Article 4 of the The Law on Amending Attorneyship Code Numbered 7409 and the Turkish Code of Obligations has been regulated as follows;
The following interim article has been added to the Turkish Code of Obligations dated 11/1/2011 and numbered 6098.
“INTERIM ARTICLE 1- Agreements regarding the rental price to be applied in the renewed rental periods between the effective date of this article and 1/7/2023 (including this date) in terms of residential rents are valid provided that it does not exceed twenty-five percent of the rental price of the previous rental year. In the event that the change rate in the consumer price index of the previous rental year is below twenty-five percent compared to the twelve-month averages, the change rate will be valid. Such a rule also applies to lease agreements for more than one year. Contracts which concluded to exceed such rates are invalid in terms of the excess quantity. Such paragraph is also applied in terms of decisions to be rendered by the judge in line with the second paragraph of Article 344”
The rent increase rate has been rendered valid within such an article added to the Turkish Code of Obligations provided that it does not exceed twenty-five percent of the rental price of the previous rental year. Thus, even in case of the rent increase rate announced by Turkish Statistical Institute is over twenty-five percent, the increase rate may be applied to twenty-five percent at the furthest. However, the twenty-five percent limit is not a limit to be applied decisively. Pursuant to the Law, in the event that the change rate in the consumer price index according to the twelve-month averages remains below twenty-five percent, such change rate will be applied. In other words, in the event that the rate of change in the consumer price index is announced as, for instance, fifteen percent, the lessor will not be able to demand an increase of twenty-five percent. Since it is provided under the law that such regulation is valid in terms of residential rents, we evaluate that such provision will not be valid in terms of workplace rents and such rent increases will continue at the rate announced by the Turkish Statistical Institute.
Pursuant to the additional article added to the Turkish Code of Obligations by the Law Numbered 7409, the twenty-five percent increase rate limitation may be applied concerning renewed rental periods between the effective date of the Law and 01.07.2023. The effective date of the Law has been determined as the publication date and the date of publication in the Official Gazette is 11.06.2022. Accordingly, the increase rate to be applied in renewed rental periods between 11.06.2022 and 01.07.2023 (including these dates) is limited to twenty-five percent. It is provided in the law that the rental prices of the previous rental year will not exceed twenty-five percent and since the last renewal date to apply such provision has been determined as 01.07.2023, such an article shall not affect the lease agreements to be signed after 01.07.2022.
In the continuation of the interim article added by the law, within clause “Such paragraph is also applied in terms of decisions to be rendered by the judge in line with the second paragraph of Article 344”, the twenty-five percent limitation is considered to be applicable pursuant to Article 344/2 of the Turkish Code of Obligations in the event that an agreement has not been concluded by the parties regarding the rent increase rate.Nowadays, since almost all lease agreements include rent increase rates, it will be very difficult for such provision of the interim article to find an application area.
Article 344/3 of the Turkish Code of Obligations regulates that the new rental price should be determined by the judge by bringing a rent declaratory action, regarding lease agreements for more than five years or renewed after five years. However, under the interim article added to the Turkish Code of Obligations by Law Numbered 7409, there is no regulation available regarding such provision. Therefore, it is not certain at the moment whether the twenty-five percent limitation provided by the interim article will also be applied regarding the rent declaratory action to be filed in accordance with article 344/3 of the Turkish Code of Obligations. In the event that we carry out an evaluation with the textual interpretation of the interim article, it can be said that such limitation will not be applied regarding rent declaratory action to be filed pursuant to article 344/3 of the Turkish Code of Obligations and the judge can determine the new rental price by considering the precedent rental prices and market conditions. However, it will be possible to observe with future decisions whether the provision of the interim article will be applied in practice by analogy in terms of rent declaratory actions.
In conclusion, although the interim article added to the Turkish Code of Obligations with the Law Numbered 7409 is a provision created in order to protect the lessee from inflation in the short term, it will become clear in the forthcoming days how the interim article will be reflected in the practice.

As millennials, who are completely at home with social media, become the primary purchase decision makers in many businesses, it is imperative that B2B brands become equally comfortable with using social media to distribute content.
After all, 73 percent of millennial workers are involved in decisions to purchase products or services for their companies, and as many as 84 percent of CEOs and VPs say they use social media to make purchasing decisions.
Are you providing the content they need?
Consider the 21 additional statistics below as you fold social media into the rest of your B2B content marketing strategy.
When it comes to social media for B2B marketing use, LinkedIn is the favored platform, and for good reason. With its business and career focus, there is less clutter and a smaller amount of content overall to compete with, while delivering a platform focused primarily on the demographic groups most likely to be involved in B2B business decision making.
- LinkedIn has more than 720 million users with more than 260 million active users.
- There are more than 50 million companies listed on LinkedIn.
- More than half of all U.S. adults with college degrees use LinkedIn.
- Nearly half of U.S. adults with an annual income over $75,000 use LinkedIn.
- LinkedIn generates almost 3 times more leads than either Twitter or Facebook, with a visitor-to-lead conversion rate of 2.74 percent according to HubSpot.
- B2B marketers report that more than 80 percent of their social media leads come from LinkedIn.
- LinkedIn is responsible for 64 percent of all visitors from social media channels to corporate websites.
With statistics like that showing the strength of LinkedIn as a platform for not only developing your brand position, but also driving actual traffic, leads and sales, it pays to pay attention to how you use it. Find best practices for using LinkedIn for B2B marketing here: Your LinkedIn Business Posting Guide.
While LinkedIn is the leader among B2B users, Facebook is still one of the most-used of all social media channels, more than 15 years after its debut. Other platforms have made inroads amongst certain groups or for specific content such as images or videos, but Facebook is one place all businesses should be.
- Facebook remains the most widely used across all demographics, used by nearly 7 in 10 adults in the United States.
- More than 80 million small businesses use Facebook’s free business tools.
- Facebook is the primary content distribution channel for marketers today.
- 18 percent of marketers currently use Facebook Groups.
- 79 percent of video marketers use Facebook as a video marketing channel.
- Business decision makers spend 74 percent more time on Facebook than other people on the platform.
- Business decision makers, regardless of industry, spend about 60 percent of their Facebook time on mobile.
Facebook obviously still plays a major role in reaching business decision makers, and while desktop use is higher among businesspeople than average users, the shift to mobile continues to require more and more thought into creating Facebook content that users can consume anywhere and everywhere. Get more best practices for using Facebook for business in this blog post.
Other channels can and should also play a role in many B2B marketers' social media strategies, including YouTube, a quasi-social platform that effectively serves as the second-largest search engine on the web. Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, or even Snapchat may have a place in your arsenal, but consider carefully your bandwidth, budget and target audience in deciding whether and how to add these to your marketing mix.
- There are 2 billion unique YouTube users every month.
- 64 percent of B2B marketers increased their use of audio/visual content like webinars and live-streaming between 2018 and 2019, and 2020 has likely sent that number even higher as companies pivoted to virtual ways of connecting with leads and customers.
- Twitter is among the top three social channels used by marketers with the highest ROI.
- 67 percent of all B2B businesses are using Twitter as a digital marketing tool.
- With more than 60 percent of Americans ages 18-29 using Instragram, it can be a perfect platform to companies to reach potential employees in that age bracket by showcasing corporate culture.
- Instagram offers higher engagement rates than other platforms, even for B2B brands, which average 22.53 interactions per 1000 followers per post.
- Nearly 8 in 10 senior executives report that they use a smartphone for at least part of their research on products or services for their business.
No, that last statistic isn’t specifically social media related, but it is important because social media platforms are the most used digital channels on mobile devices. If you are using social media correctly, you are likely reaching your audience through the device they spend the most time on.
As you use social media for your B2B marketing, remember that it should not be a separate entity. Don’t make the mistake of expecting it to simply stand on its own—instead, use it to drive website traffic and online lead generation. Here’s why: Social Media Problem & Solution: Using Social Media To Drive Website Traffic.

[277 U.S. 66, 67] Mr. John D. Grace, of New Orleans, La., for petitioner.
Mr. T. Catesby Jones, of New York City, for respondents.
Mr. Chief Justice TAFT delivered the opinion of the Court.
These are eleven libels filed in the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Louisiana by a Mexican corporation known as the Compania de Navegacion, against as many different insurance companies, English and American, on eleven separate policies, insuring the tug Wash Gray in favor of the libelant as owner in different sums aggregating $85,000, and covering a voyage of the tug while in tow from Tampico, Mexico, to Galveston, Tex.
The tug was designed for inland waters. She was 87 1/2 feet long, with 19 feet beam, 9 feet depth of hold, and was of 105 tons. She was insured specially for this sea voyage, to be towed, as agreed with the insuring companies, by the Freeport Sulphur No. 1, a vessel engaged in regular trade on the Gulf of Mexico, and measuring 309 feet in length, 45 feet beam, with 22 1/2 feet depth, and of approximately 3,000 tons displacement. [277 U.S. 66, 71] When application was made for insurance, the underwriters required an inspection for seaworthiness, general fitness, and towing arrangements for that voyage. For that purpose two well-known marine surveyors, representing the various underwriters, made a thorough, critical inspection, followed by recommendations for preparations for the voyage, including certain overhauling, particularly of her towing bitts and decking, and for the planking up of doors, ports, and other openings. They reported in writing to the underwriters that the requirements had been complied with, and certified her seaworthiness and her fitness for the particular voyage. Because of the extrahazardous risk involved in the transit of this small inland vessel in tow at sea, the premiums were much increased by the underwriters. They varied, in the different policies, between 1 1/2 to 2 1/8 per cent., or from six to more than eight times the usual rate for a tow of the ordinary size and power to resist the sea. The voyage contemplated was first to Freeport, Tex., a distance of some 420 miles, a trip taking some 45 or 50 hours. From there she was to go to Galveston by another towing vessel, also to be satisfactory to the underwriters. The weather from Tampico was fair, and the sea calm. She followed nicely, handled well, and continued in tow through the first night and through the next day, making some 9 miles per hour with no straining or difficulty. Ordinarily, under her own power, she was good for from 10 to 12 miles per hour. During the second evening came a fresh to strong northwesterly breeze. Later the weather grew squally, until about 8 o'clock the wind reached a velocity of 25 miles an hour, with occasional puffs or gusts. Because of these and a cross current and swell, the sea grew choppy, with waves running up 4 to 5 feet from trough to crest, and sufficient to break over her head. The rough weather and the choppy seas out a strain on [277 U.S. 66, 72] the vessel. As required by contract, she had up all steam necessary to work her pumps. The mate was sent below, and in a few minutes reported to the captain that the forward bitts had worked loose, that her seams were opening, and she was taking water rapidly. The pounding and straining continued until she made more water than her pumps could discharge. She was then about 100 miles from Freeport, Tex., and had completed three- fourths of the voyage to that point. The Wash Gray's captain signaled to the towing ship to stop. The water in the tug had rolled forward, thus bringing her head down. The tow lines were then cut. This brought her head up, and she righted herself. The larger vessel stood by. The captain of the Wash Gray notified the towing captain that the tug could stand no more pulling. Shortly thereafter the captain and crew of the tug were taken aboard the ship for safety. The latter then stood by until daylight, when the master sent his engineer, mate, and some six men on board the tug to attempt to save her. They found no water in the boiler for steam. They attempted by a hose to pump it in, but the leaking sea water put out the fire. The vessels then proceeded slowly at one mile per hour until half past 10, when the tug began to sink slowly, and went down at half past 11.
The District Judge found for the owner of the Wash Gray on all the policies. The insurance companies appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which, without objecting to the facts as found by the District Court, reversed the case, with directions to dismiss the libels. 19 F.(2d) 493, 496.
Counsel for the insurance companies seek to sustain the judgment of the Circuit Court of Appeals on four grounds. They say, first, that the insurance companies were released from liability because there was not disclosed to them before the voyage a contract of towage, a term of which was material to the risk and was concealed, and the policies were thus avoided. The towage contract provided as follows:
[277 U.S. 66, 73] "Freeport Sulphur No. 1 will furnish hawser. All other risk and expense to be borne by the tug. It is understood you will keep sufficient men on board to keep up steam and man the tug's pumps. S. S. Freeport No. 1 is not responsible in any way for loss or damage to the Wash Gray.'
All the policies had attached to them by rider and rubber stamp a clause like the following:
We do not think that the towing contract has the effect claimed for it by the companies. It did not release the Freeport from any loss or damage to the Wash Gray due to the negligence of the master or crew of the towing vessel; and for a loss thus caused the companies would be subrogated to the claim of the owner of the Wash Gray.
The rule laid down by this court in The Steamer Syracuse, 12 Wall. 167, 171 (20 L. Ed. 382), covers the point. That was a libel by the owner of a canal boat agaisnt the steamer Syracuse for negligence in towing the canal boat and running her into a vesselat anchor in the harbor of New York. The claim was made that there had been a special agreement between the canal boat and the steamboat by which the canal boat was being towed at her own risk. Upon this point the court said:
In view of this state of the law, the towing contract here shown was not a fact material to the risk, a concealment of which from the underwriters would injure them or avoid the policy.
The second objection is that the tug was negligently towed at too great a speed, proximately causing the loss. There is really very little evidence to sustain the claim that there was any negligence on the part of the towing vessel or her master or her crew. The trial court specifically found that the towing was well done, that 9 miles an hour was not too fast a speed to be maintained, but that on the contrary the maintenance of such speed was necessary in order to prevent the towed vessel from turning over or careening, and there is no finding to the contrary by the Court of Appeals.
The third objection is that the tug was not seaworthy, and therefore the risk never attached. The finding by the trial court distinctly negatives any such claim. It said:
This issue, however, brings up clearly the difference between the view of the District Court and that of the Court of Appeals in respect to liability in this case. What does 'seaworthy' mean in the implied or expressed warranty to which the insured is to be held?
Arnould on Marine Insurance, vol. II (10th English Ed.) says:
This view of varying seaworthiness according to the circumstances known to both parties is fully supported in the case of Thebaud v. Great Western Insurance Co., 155 N. Y. 516, 50 N. E. 284. There the plaintiff applied to the defendant insurance company to insure, for a voyage from Philadelphia to Frontera, Mexico, a steamer in course of construction for use on rivers and inland waters. The defendant caused the vessel to be examined by an engineer, and issued the usual marine policy, exacting, however, a double premium. The vessel proceeded part of the way on her voyage, avoiding the sea, but in reaching Mexico she had to put out to open sea and was lost. It was held that, as both parties to the contract knew that the vessel was not a sea-going craft or suitable for the navigation of the high seas, and as the defendant issued its policy with full knowledge of the nature of the risk, the warranty of seaworthiness, implied in a contract of marine insurance should not be construed in a way to be repugnant to the general purpose of the parties in executing the contract, nor held to be broken by the [277 U.S. 66, 77] fact that the vessel was not so constructed as to be fit for a sea voyage. See 4 Joyce on Insurance, 2159
In Klein v. Globe & Rutgers Insurance Co., 2 F.(2d) 137, decided by the Circuit Court of Appeals of the Third Circuit, the policy covered an upper river steamboat for a voyage down the Mississippi river to New Orleans, and from there in tow down the river and across the Gulf to Tampico, for which a higher premium than usual was paid. She was bulkheaded and otherwise prepared under the supervision of the agents of the insurance company for her voyage to Tampico. She was inspected and found to be thoroughly all right at the mouth of the Mississippi river, but, after she was being towed in the Gulf, an examination disclosed considerable water in the hold, and thereafter the vessel sank. It was held that the implied warranty of the insured was that the boat was seaworthy to the extent of being able to withstand all the ordinary perils of navigation of the upper river and that the perils of the sea in the Gulf, against which she was insured, were such perils as would be extraordinary to a vessel of her type. Judgment was given for the insured.
Again, in Farmers' Feed Co. v. Insurance Co. of North America, 166 F. 111, affirming the District Court for the Southern District of New York, 162 F. 379, the defendant insurance company knowing the age and exact condition of a barge, insured her for operation in waters adjacent to New York at a high premium. The loss occurred by reason of wind and tide near Brooklyn Bridge, and the defense was of unseaworthiness. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals said:
The fourth objection claimed by the respondents is that no recovery could be had because the loss of the Wash Gray was not caused by any peril insured against. These policies all contained a clause like the following:
It is urged by the insurance companies that weather, when the wind did not exceed a velocity of 25 miles, though with squalls, and with a cross current and swell producing a choppy sea, with waves 5 feet high and breaking over the head of the vessel, did not constitute a peril of the sea.
There was some emphasis too placed by counsel for the companies on the log of the Sulphur No. 1, in which the state of the weather and of the sea seemed to be minimized. Upon this point the trial court finds it to be unreliable, because the entries in the log do not seem to have been made at the times of the observations they record, and moreover the entries were made from the standpoint of a vessel of 3,000 tons, and not one of a vessel of the size of the Wash Gray. The court said:
[277 U.S. 66, 79] "What amounts to a light breeze, or a small swell, or a choppy sea, as logged for a large ocean-going steel vessel would be relatively, if logged for a little inland wooden tug, with two or three feet of freeboard, an extremely dangerous gale and rough sea. The first would ride comfortably, safely, and easily, while the other would toss and pound furiously, strain her timbers, lose the caulking of her butts and seams, and so contract the comparative calm for one to the comparative fury for the other. The oral testimony, however, makes such speculation and refinement unnecessary, since it convincingly shows that for the Wash Gray in the open Gulf, the wind and the condition of the sea were extremely perilous; that both the towing ship, its officers and crew, and the crew of the little tug omitted nothing that good seamanship, skill, and prudence would dictate.'
But it is contended on behalf of the insurance companies that the phrase 'perils of the sea' has not a varying but an absolute meaning, and they rely on the language of Mr. Justice Story in The Reeside, 20 Fed. Cas. No. 11,657, p. 458, 2 Summ. 567, quoted and approved in Garrison v. Memphis Insurance Co., 19 How. 312. In the former case the question was whether great damage to bales of carpeting by absorbing oil which had leaked from a number of casks, said to have been improperly stowed, was occasioned by the perils of the sea and the extraordinary rolling of the schooner during the voyage. Justice Story said:
But we think the definition of 'dangers of the sea' by Justice Story was meant by him to be applied in the ordinary case of a seagoing vessel, with no special circumstances as to the exceptional character of the vessel known to both parties and recognized by both in a high premium charged and paid. A contract of maritime insurance is usually not different from any other contract, except that the words and phrases used may have a technical nautical meaning, to be understood by the parties and enforced accordingly. We have seen, however, from the cases, that the term 'seaworthiness' varies with the circumstances and the exceptional features of the risk known to both parties. The view of the Circuit Court of Appeals that perils of the sea has an absolute meaning and may not be varied by the knowledge of the parties as to the circumstances and must be maintained stiffly in favor of the insurance companies and against the insured, is not necessary or reasonable. The variation n the significance of 'seaworthy,' as shown by the above authorities, when caused by exceptional circumstances known to both parties, applies as well to the meaning of perils of the sea as to that of seaworthiness. The two terms in such cases are correlative terms. Klein v. Globe & Rutgers Insurance Co., 2 F.(2d) 137, 139, 140.
The Circuit Court of Appeals distinguished Klein v. Globe & Rutgers Insurance Co., Farmers' Feed Co. v. Insurance Co. and Thebaud v. Great Western Insurance Co., and 4 Joyce on Insurance, 2159, as follows:
We find ourselves unable to follow this distinction. In all these cases the recovery was on the contract, and the question was of the construction of the contract. Its construction was affected necessarily by the special circumstances surrounding the contract known to both parties and acted on by them in charging and paying an increased compensation for the risk run. The circumstances in this case are very like those shown in the cases cited. They certainly justify the conclusion to which we have come.
The judgment of the Circuit Court of Appeals is reversed.

DOllS / living sculptures
This series of living sculptures on the theme of nature and sustainability was curated for a collective exhibition gathering of artists from different countries.
Dolls have a unique place in everyone's life.
Dolls are toys, which are by definition to play with. They usually come in the shape of a baby, a girl or a woman but male figures are also present as well as teddy bears and other stuffed toy animals.
We play house and take care of them as much as they are an important security object during our childhood. When we are young, we rely on them to protect us during the night or keep us company during a long (or short) journey. Parents include them in conversations with their children, as if they are a part of the family, as if they are alive and have a voice meant to be heard. Of course, this phase doesn't last long and soon enough, every child can rely on its own confidence, friends and family.
But the time spent with dolls is unique in the sense that the interaction we have with them is based on our own terms. We deal with them the way we want to. In other words, we could also abuse them, mutilate, insult, destroy them. In this sense, they become the reflection of our social interaction with the rest of the world. A reflection of how we see the world but also how we feel within it.
This thought process is the frame for the presented artwork:
Seven dolls made with reused material and within each of them are plants growing.
The reused fabrics include embroidered silk, traditional Japanese patterns, African patterned velvet as well as fishnet fabric used for stockings. The fabric has become the clothes as much as it is the dolls' skin as they are literally shaped in it. Their patterns and textures bring a piece of identity while their shapes symbolize femininity.
Femininity is central to the iconography of the doll. In this series, this femininity is appropriated and integrated with other feminine iconographs such as nature.
Objectifying Nature into the shape of a doll, a human figure, is in a way humanizing it for the time of an exhibition, a time of questioning.
So what if Nature was a doll? Would we play with?
A more interesting question would be how would each of us interact with her?
Would that be the same way we are interacting with Nature in our reality?
As it is an artwork, it is, therefore, the artist's own interpretation of her interaction not only with people but also with nature.

For those seeking to elevate their vehicle’s performance, Epic 4WD suspension lift kits are the ultimate choice. Epic 4WD offers a wide range of components and solutions that can transform your off-road experience. From lift blocks to coilovers, they have the perfect parts to enhance your ride. Epic 4WD products are meticulously designed to deliver unparalleled stability and superior ground clearance, enabling you to conquer even the most challenging terrains with confidence. Whether you’re aiming for enhanced performance or a smoother ride, Epic 4WD is the ideal solution for you.
A Suspension Lift Kit
A suspension lift kit is a must-have for any off-road enthusiast. Off-roaders often need to increase their vehicle’s ground clearance to tackle rugged terrain, and a suspension lift kit provides the solution by raising the entire vehicle, creating the necessary space to navigate over sizable obstacles.
The core component of a suspension lift kit typically comprises springs or shocks specially designed for your vehicle’s make and model. These springs or shocks are installed between your existing chassis and the frame, lifting your entire vehicle above its original ride height. The degree of 4WD suspension lift kits can vary, from minor two-inch lifts to extreme boosts that can raise your vehicle by several feet.
In addition to gaining extra ground clearance, installing a suspension lift kit yields several other benefits. It enhances handling by increasing wheel travel, meaning that the wheels can move further before bottoming out when driving over uneven terrain. This results in improved traction and greater stability when navigating challenging terrain or cornering. It also allows for the installation of larger tires, which can provide even more ground clearance for off-roading or navigating demanding landscapes.
Benefits of Installing a Home Security System
The installation of a home security system is gaining popularity among homeowners, and it’s easy to understand why. Home security systems offer a multitude of advantages that contribute to the safety and security of your family and property. In this article, we’ll explore the key benefits of installing a home security system.
Deterrent to Intruders: A home security system serves as a highly effective deterrent to potential intruders who might be considering breaking into your home. The mere presence of an alarm system signals that you take the safety and security of your property seriously, making would-be intruders think twice before attempting a break-in.
24/7 Monitoring: Most professional home security systems come with 24/7 monitoring services. These services are designed to respond swiftly in the event of an emergency or intrusion attempt. This means that regardless of when or where an incident occurs on your property, you’ll have professionals ready to assist if the need arises.
Remote Accessibility: Modern home security systems offer remote access capabilities, enabling you to monitor and control various aspects of your home’s security, such as lighting or door locks, from anywhere in the world using a smartphone app or web portal. This added flexibility provides homeowners with peace of mind, knowing they can easily check and manage their home security systems from virtually anywhere.
Types of Items in Our Daily Lives
Our daily lives are filled with an abundance of different types of items, covering a wide range of categories. From clothing and food to appliances and vehicles, the variety of items we encounter daily can be overwhelming. Here, we will explore some of the most common types of items that we come across regularly.
Clothing: Clothing is an essential aspect of our daily lives. Whether we’re shopping for ourselves or someone else, the world of clothing offers an array of styles and designs. Casual wear includes items like jeans and t-shirts, while formal wear encompasses suits and dresses. Activewear is perfect for workouts and includes items such as yoga pants and running shorts. For those summer days at the pool or beach, swimwear is a necessity. Loungewear like pyjamas and robes ensures comfort for relaxation and sleep.
Food: Food is a daily necessity for survival. We encounter countless types of food, from fresh produce to packaged goods, and the options are virtually endless. The food we consume often depends on our preferences, dietary restrictions, and cultural backgrounds. Food categories range from fruits and vegetables to meats, dairy, grains, and various processed products.
A Suspension Lift Kits
When it comes to vehicle customization, especially for off-road enthusiasts, a suspension lift kit is a top choice. Suspension lift kits offer improved performance, increased ground clearance, and enhanced ride quality, making them a popular choice for those looking to stand out from the crowd with a customized look.
Suspension lift kits are available in various sizes and configurations to cater to specific requirements and preferences. Most suspension lifts involve raising your vehicle’s frame, thereby increasing ground clearance and allowing for larger tires without damaging the frame. This extra clearance also improves handling, as it increases wheel travel, ensuring that the wheels can navigate over obstacles without bottoming out, providing better traction and stability when cornering.
However, selecting the right suspension lift kit is crucial. It’s essential to choose one designed for your specific vehicle make and model to ensure that all components fit correctly and function together seamlessly. These kits typically include shock absorbers, control arms, coil springs or torsion bars, and mounting hardware or brackets. The choice between professional installation and DIY installation depends on your familiarity with the process and mechanical skills.
Installation Process for Software
Software installation processes may often seem complex, particularly for intricate applications. Yet, the installation process for most software typically follows a set of fundamental steps. Here are some guidelines to navigate the software installation process effectively:
Ensure System Requirements: Confirm that your computer or device meets the software’s system requirements. These requirements are typically provided by the manufacturer and can be found on the product label or their website. Failing to meet these requirements may lead to compatibility issues during installation or while using the software.
Download and Save Files: Download and save any necessary files for the software to your computer’s hard drive or storage device.
Run the Executable File: Double-click the executable file, often with a .exe extension, to initiate the installation.
Follow Prompts: Follow the directions presented in each installation window. Make choices regarding the installation location, agreement to terms and conditions, and other options.
Complete the Installation: After making these selections, complete the installation, and ensure all files and components are properly installed.
A Suspension Lift Kits
A D suspension lift kit is the perfect solution if you’re aiming to give your off-road vehicle that extra edge. This type of lift kit is specially designed to raise your vehicle’s body and frame, providing greater ground clearance and significantly enhancing off-road performance. Not only does it give your vehicle a more aggressive appearance, but it also dramatically improves its performance across various terrains.
When choosing a D suspension lift kit, it’s crucial to select one that is compatible with your specific make and model of vehicle. This ensures that all components fit correctly and function seamlessly. The kit should come with all the necessary parts, such as shock absorbers, control arms, coil springs, or torsion bars, along with any required mounting hardware or brackets. Depending on the type of installation you plan to perform, you may also need additional tools or supplies, whether for a complete replacement or a simple upgrade with spacers or extenders.
The installation process can be approached as a DIY project for those with basic mechanical skills and tools like an adjustable wrench set. However, many individuals prefer to have their D suspension lift kits professionally installed, particularly if they lack experience in automotive repair or are unfamiliar with the process. Whichever path you choose, it’s vital to ensure that all modifications are done correctly to guarantee the safety and performance of your vehicle.
In conclusion, Epic 4WD suspension lift kits offer an exceptional means to enhance both the performance and aesthetics of your vehicle. These kits provide increased ground clearance, improved handling, and superior off-road capabilities, making them a perfect choice for dedicated 4×4 enthusiasts. With a variety of sizes and styles to suit the needs of any vehicle, these kits, when properly installed and maintained, enable you to make the most of your ride for years to come.

Hearing aids have become an essential tool for millions of people worldwide who suffer from hearing loss. As per the latest statistics, the global hearing aid market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years due to an aging population and increasing awareness of hearing healthcare. This article explores various aspects of the hearing aid industry, including the latest statistics, technological advancements, market leaders and innovators, and a global market analysis.
The Growing Demand for Hearing Aids
Several factors contribute to the rising demand for hearing aids worldwide. Firstly, an aging population is a significant factor that drives the demand. In developed countries, approximately one-third of people over the age of 65 experience hearing loss, while over 50% of people over the age of 75 suffer from hearing problems.
In addition to age-related hearing loss, noise-induced hearing loss has become a widespread problem in recent decades, affecting the younger generation. Frequent exposure to loud music, industrial noise, and other loud environments can cause permanent damage to hearing. As a result, more young people are now seeking hearing aids as a solution.
Moreover, hearing loss can have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life. It can lead to social isolation, depression, and even cognitive decline. With the increasing recognition of the importance of hearing health, more people are seeking treatment for hearing loss, including the use of hearing aids.
Advancements in technology have also contributed to the growing demand for hearing aids. Today’s hearing aids are smaller, more discreet, and more powerful than ever before. Many models now come equipped with features such as Bluetooth connectivity, rechargeable batteries, and even artificial intelligence, making them more appealing to consumers.
Another contributing factor to the growing demand for hearing aids is increasing awareness and accessibility to hearing healthcare. Governments and healthcare organizations worldwide have been actively promoting hearing healthcare awareness, leading to a higher frequency of diagnoses and treatment. In many countries, hearing aids are now covered by insurance, making them more accessible to those who need them.
In conclusion, the demand for hearing aids is on the rise due to several factors, including an aging population, noise-induced hearing loss, advancements in technology, and increasing awareness and accessibility to hearing healthcare. With the importance of hearing health becoming more widely recognized, it is likely that the demand for hearing aids will continue to grow in the coming years.
Technological Advancements in Hearing Aids
Technology has revolutionized the way we live our lives, and the hearing aid industry is no exception. With the advent of new technologies, hearing aids have undergone significant changes, improving their performance and functionality. Here are some additional details about the technological advancements in hearing aids:
Wireless connectivity and smartphone integration have made hearing aids more versatile and user-friendly. With Bluetooth technology, users can connect their hearing aids to their smartphones and other audio devices, allowing them to stream music, phone calls, and other audio content directly to their hearing aids. This feature is particularly useful for people who use hearing aids, as it allows them to stay connected with their loved ones and the world around them.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning have also revolutionized the hearing aid industry. With advanced algorithms and signal processing techniques, hearing aids can analyze the user’s environment and adjust the listening experience accordingly. For example, if the user is in a noisy environment, the hearing aid will automatically adjust its settings to filter out unwanted background noise and enhance speech clarity. This feature is particularly useful for people who struggle to hear in noisy environments, such as restaurants, malls, and airports.
Smaller, more discreet designs are another significant technological advancement in the hearing aid industry. Modern hearing aids are significantly smaller and more discreet than their predecessors, making them almost invisible when worn. This feature is particularly useful for people who are self-conscious about wearing hearing aids, as it allows them to wear their hearing aids without feeling self-conscious or embarrassed.
In conclusion, technological advancements have significantly improved the listening experience for users of hearing aids. With wireless connectivity, artificial intelligence, and smaller, more discreet designs, hearing aids have become more versatile, user-friendly, and effective in helping people with hearing loss stay connected with the world around them.
Market Leaders and Innovators
The hearing aid industry is a rapidly growing market that is dominated by a handful of established players with a significant market share. The leading hearing aid manufacturers include Sonova Holding AG, William Demant Holding A/S, and GN Store Nord A/S. These companies have been in the industry for decades and have a wealth of experience and expertise in developing innovative and effective hearing aids for users of all ages.
However, the industry has also seen the rise of emerging startups and disruptors who aim to bring innovation to the field. These companies focus on developing personalized, affordable, and accessible solutions for users, including online hearing tests and hearing aids delivered straight to users’ homes. One such startup is Eargo, which offers a range of hearing aids that are designed to be comfortable, discreet, and easy to use. Another is Olive Union, which has developed a smart hearing aid that can be controlled through a smartphone app.
Partnerships and collaborations between these players are also becoming increasingly common, bringing together the innovation and agility of startups with the resources and expertise of established market leaders. For example, Sonova has partnered with Sivantos, a hearing aid manufacturer, to create a joint venture called WS Audiology. This partnership has allowed the two companies to combine their strengths and develop new and innovative hearing aids for users around the world.
Another example of collaboration is the partnership between GN Store Nord A/S and Google. The two companies have teamed up to develop a hearing aid that can be controlled through a user’s smartphone using Google’s Android operating system. This partnership has enabled GN Store Nord A/S to leverage Google’s technology and expertise to create a hearing aid that is both innovative and user-friendly.
In conclusion, the hearing aid industry is a dynamic and rapidly evolving market that is driven by both established market leaders and emerging startups. These players are working together to develop new and innovative solutions that are personalized, affordable, and accessible for users of all ages. As technology continues to advance, we can expect to see even more exciting developments in this field in the years to come.
Global Hearing Aid Market Analysis
Hearing aids are small electronic devices that help people with hearing loss to hear better. They work by amplifying sounds and making them more audible. The global hearing aid market is a rapidly growing industry that is expected to reach $10 billion by 2026.
North America and Europe: Mature Markets
North America and Europe are mature hearing aid markets with a high penetration rate. The demand for hearing aids in these regions is primarily driven by an aging population and increasing awareness of hearing healthcare. The market is dominated by established players and enjoys significant government support in terms of hearing healthcare awareness campaigns and medical insurance coverage for hearing aids.
However, the North American and European market faces challenges around affordability and accessibility of hearing healthcare, as many people cannot afford hearing aids or struggle to access the necessary care. The cost of hearing aids can be high, and insurance coverage can be limited.
Moreover, hearing loss is not always recognized as a medical condition, and people may not seek treatment until their hearing loss becomes severe. This delay in seeking treatment can lead to further complications and reduce the effectiveness of hearing aids.
Asia-Pacific: A Growing Market with Untapped Potential
The Asia-Pacific region is a growing market with enormous potential due to its significant population and fast-growing economies. Several factors drive the demand for hearing aids, including an aging population, noise-induced hearing loss, and increasing awareness of hearing healthcare.
The market in the Asia-Pacific region is highly fragmented, with many small local players catering to the demand. However, established companies are now expanding their operations in the region to tap into the growing demand. The market in this region is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period.
Moreover, the Asia-Pacific region is home to some of the most noise-polluted cities in the world, which increases the risk of noise-induced hearing loss. This factor is expected to drive the demand for hearing aids in the region.
Rest of the World: Opportunities and Challenges
The rest of the world, including Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, represents a significant opportunity for hearing aid manufacturers due to the growing demand and untapped potential for hearing healthcare in these regions.
However, the market in these regions faces various challenges, including limited access to hearing healthcare, lack of awareness, and affordability issues. Companies operating in these regions must tailor their solutions to the specific needs and challenges of the local market to succeed.
For instance, in Africa, there is a shortage of trained audiologists and hearing healthcare professionals. This shortage limits the accessibility of hearing healthcare services, and people with hearing loss may not receive the care they need. Moreover, the lack of awareness about hearing loss and the benefits of hearing aids is a significant challenge in these regions.
Despite these challenges, the market in these regions is expected to grow at a significant rate due to the increasing prevalence of hearing loss and the growing awareness of hearing healthcare.
The hearing aid industry is set to witness significant growth in the coming years due to an aging population, increasing awareness and accessibility to hearing healthcare, and technological advancements. Established players and emerging startups are working to develop personalized, affordable, and accessible solutions for users worldwide. The industry faces challenges, including affordability and accessibility issues, but also presents significant opportunities for manufacturers to tap into growing demand across the globe. | <urn:uuid:08cd2b0e-ec36-434d-80e1-628d433d2ff9> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.hearingresearch.org/hearing-aid-industry-statistics/ | 2023-12-04T00:47:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100518.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20231203225036-20231204015036-00852.warc.gz | en | 0.956419 | 1,976 | [

Frugalpac recently announced that it has developed a recyclable paperboard coffee cup that can help cut down on the amount of waste attributed to disposable cups. While paperboard coffee cups are a convenient take-out solution, these non-recyclable cups contribute to a great deal of waste. Now there may be a new option for brands interested in reducing coffee cup waste.
The new paperboard coffee cups designed by Frugalpac are made from recycled paper that can be reused by paper recycling mills. Unlike ordinary coffee cups, the recyclable paperboard cups feature a thin plastic liner that is free from added chemicals and only lightly glued in place. This design allows the liner to be separated from the cup during the recycling process so that the cup can be recycled.
Both cost-effective and eco-friendly, Frugalpac's new cups could be the solution to reducing coffee cup waste worldwide.
Frugalpac Has Developed a Coffee Cup That Can Be Recycled
1. Recyclable Coffee Cups - The development of Frugalpac's recyclable paperboard cup suggests an opportunity for rivals to create new and improved versions.
2. Eco-friendly Packaging - As eco-friendly alternatives to disposable items become more popular, there may be opportunity for businesses to rebrand their image by introducing more sustainable packaging options.
3. Paper Recycling - With the development of Frugalpac's new cup, the paper recycling industry may see a rise in demand for similar, recyclable products.
1. Food Industry - Coffee shops and other food outlets may be interested in adopting Frugalpac's new cup as a way to showcase their eco-friendly practices and attract a more environmentally conscious customer base.
2. Packaging Industry - The packaging industry can take note of the growing demand for more sustainable products and embrace eco-friendly alternatives to keep up with changing consumer preferences.
3. Recycling Industry - As more eco-friendly products emerge, the recycling industry has an opportunity to expand and innovate, developing more efficient recycling processes. | <urn:uuid:293bcde4-59fb-4ca8-8d9a-324d943ab31b> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recyclable-paperboard | 2023-12-05T05:26:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100545.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20231205041842-20231205071842-00752.warc.gz | en | 0.909644 | 426 | [

I am not normally one for New Year’s Resolutions but with that time of year coming up it is time to look at how to organize your finances.
This isn’t something that anyone really looks forward to but it is something most of us wish we would have done earlier. You can follow the “Why budget; just make more money” model but not all of us have the ability to do this.
This is a good time to review your financial plan and see if you are heading in the right direction. Especially before you blow all of your money on gifts that people will only return.

I would love to know the details on the Louvre series published by NBM. This latest installment, “Guardians of the Louvre,” by acclaimed manga artist Jirô Taniguchi just goes to show once again how unique this subject is and the endless possibilities for it. What a great cartoonist wants in a project, especially one who both writes and draws and has done so for many years, is a task worthy of the enormous effort. And, to sweeten the deal, make it something heroic. A cartoonist loves it when he or she can make a grand gesture.
What I’m saying about the grand gesture is so very true. Look at how Taniguchi responds to the task: his main character/alter ego is reduced to a little heap in comparison to the Louvre and its many treasures, opportunities, and mysteries. He arrives in Paris completely spent from a bad case of the flu. He is completely overwhelmed, out of his element, his observations through a fever dream. Like Little Nemo on his magic flying bed, we set off on a most unusual journey.
Our hero, due to a bad rabbit stew or some such mishap, is now in tune with the supernatural elements of the Louvre. When you consider that we are talking about a museum that is over 200 years old, as large as ten football fields, holding 70,000 pieces of art going back to antiquity, well, it would not be surprising to find that it has many tales to tell and that it is at least a bit haunted, right? Taniguchi asks that you run with that idea.
And so one grand gesture leads to another. We see poltergeist in all their gloopy glory floating about. We meet a beautiful ghost, presumably the Winged Victory. And, it just goes on from there as we go in and out of time, meet various artists long gone expect very much alive in this moment. The Louvre is a House of Leaves. It is a place that insists you shed your normal skin and walk amongst it. You inhabit a place such as the Louvre and you can’t help but let it inhabit you.
“Guardians of the Louvre” is the latest in the NBM Louvre series. It is a full color hardcover, right to left reading manga-style, 8 x 11, 136 pages. For more details, go right here. | <urn:uuid:ceeb31e3-730c-44eb-b11f-8c2ff98109cb> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://comicsgrinder.com/2016/07/13/review-guardians-of-the-louvre/ | 2023-12-08T23:30:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100779.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20231208212357-20231209002357-00452.warc.gz | en | 0.969551 | 497 | [

Intellectual property (IP) is a valuable asset that requires protection from others who may seek to use or exploit it without your permission. It is essential to understand the options available to you for enforcing your IP rights and the steps you can take to protect them.
The first option is to register your intellectual property with the relevant government or international authorities. This will give you a formal legal right to your IP, which can then be enforced in court if necessary. It is important to remember that registration is not a requirement for enforcing your IP rights, but it can provide additional legal protection. Another option is to use cease and desist letters. These are letters sent to someone who is infringing your IP rights, informing them of your ownership and asking them to stop their activities. This is often a quick and effective way of resolving issues without the need to go to court. If the infringer does not comply with the cease and desist letter, you can pursue legal action, such as filing a lawsuit. This can be a lengthy and expensive process but can be necessary if the infringement is serious and has caused significant damage to your IP rights. You can also pursue criminal charges against someone who has infringed your IP rights. This is a serious matter, as it can result in fines or even imprisonment for the infringer. It is important to note that this is only an option if the infringement is particularly serious and has caused significant harm to your IP rights. Finally, you can take steps to prevent infringement in the first place, such as using watermarking and digital rights management systems. These can be effective ways of protecting your IP and deterring people from attempting to use or exploit it without your permission.
Enforcing your intellectual property rights is an important part of protecting your valuable asset. Understanding the different options available to you is essential in ensuring that your IP is secure and protected from infringement.

Most everyone who knows me knows how much I like oatmeal. It’s my ultimate comfort food. People often ask for my recipe probably because I make it sound so good. The preparation is really very simple– I just chop up an apple, throw in a handful of raisins, sprinkle lots of cinnamon and add a little coconut or hemp milk for a creamier consistency. Sometimes I add blueberries or other seasonal fruit. Generally I mix in a few tablespoons of chia or ground flax seeds. I guess I should mention that one of the things I like best about oats is they’re good for me!
I also like a little something sweet once in a while but I’m pretty diligent about not putting anything artificial or loaded with added sugar into my body (I wasn’t always that way though!). So I’m on a constant hunt for dessert recipes that aren’t complicated, don’t involve dairy and, of course, taste good.
My daughter Emma follows lots of food blogs. In fact she and her friend Elise started their own before I did. It’s called Healthygirlshappyhour and is full of ideas for healthful eating and fitness! Anyway, Emma told me about ChocolateCoveredKatie. Most of her recipes are way too sweet for my taste and have too much chocolate, but I liked her idea for Larabars. I used her basic recipe but added a few other ingredients. The result is more like a brownie and is very tasty:
1 cup oats
3/4 cup walnuts + 1/4 cup almonds mixed
1 cup raisins
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 Tablespoons chia seeds
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (at least 70% cacao)
To make the brownie bars, first pulverize the oats in a food processor. Then gradually add the remaining ingredients and process until well combined and smooth. Place mixture in a large ziplock baggie and shape into a rectangle. Refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes. Cut into small squares and enjoy your delicious dessert without added sugar. Careful, they’re very rich! | <urn:uuid:e45f8106-c31a-4e25-8e2d-b6970eb55d55> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://bodybyginny.com/oatmeal-for-dessert-too/ | 2023-12-11T08:25:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679103810.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20231211080606-20231211110606-00252.warc.gz | en | 0.944512 | 450 | [

Primrose Hill Entrepreneur
Local entrepreneur Petar Savic talks to Roisin Levine about her start-up business, Flux
What does your company Flux do?
Flux is a start-up that is liberating receipt data. We think it’s crazy that in an age where everything else is digital, we are still handed a piece of paper after a shopping transaction. We want the experience to be that you simply tap your bank card to pay as normal and a full breakdown of your purchase ‒ the receipt ‒ is delivered instantly into your bank account. This means that you don’t have to download a separate app or provide your email address at the till; you shop as normal, but within your banking app you have all your proof of purchases visible next to the transactions.
So you’re ahead of the banks?
In order for Flux to create this amazing digital experience, we have to partner with both banks and retailers to ensure our receipts are delivered in an accurate, timely and convenient manner for customers. I spearhead Flux’s bank partnerships to bring digital receipts to as many banking apps as possible, expanding our customer reach until digital receipts are a standard that’s available everywhere. Right now we work with banks like Barclays, Monzo and Starling, but one day we want to be available for every payment card in the UK. My job is to make digital receipts as ubiquitous as contactless payments.
How do you make our shopping habits more sustainable?
There are 11.2 billion receipts printed annually in the UK, the equivalent of 200,000 trees or 28,000 tonnes of CO2. Around 50% of receipts are not recyclable, because to create the glossy texture on them a substance called BPA/S is used (the same chemicals that are found in single-use plastics). This means that receipts often don’t break down in the way that a normal piece of paper is recycled and therefore cause a huge amount of unnecessary waste. Flux has a campaign to Beat The Receipt and we’re so proud that retailers like H&M, Itsu, Giraffe, Schuh and KFC have chosen to partner with us to make their shopping experiences more environmentally friendly by offering digital receipts delivered to banking apps.
What is your relationship with Primrose Hill?
I’ve lived in the area for nearly seven years, initially on Eton Avenue and now Belsize Square. What is not to love about it? The restaurants, pub gardens, proximity to Hampstead Heath and the many cute shops and cafes are some of the best aspects of North London. I first experienced the night-time view from the top of Primrose Hill with my now husband. What a coup for him that I had not seen that romantic view before! This means that the park and surrounding area have a lot of sentimental value to me too. I always remember that people come from far and wide to visit and enjoy the delights of Primrose Hill, so I should never take that for granted.
How did you find working remotely during the pandemic?
Lockdown made me feel very fortunate to have a garden. It also motivated me to get more plants for the flat and ensure that the place had as much greenery as possible. Being able to walk to some of the beautiful green spots of North London and grab takeaway coffees has made things feel normal at times, but I do miss the office, colleagues and exploring different parts of London through external meetings.
What is the future for you and Flux?
The aim is to go from delivering millions of receipts to delivering billions, and eventually eradicate the need for paper receipts entirely. There are lots of exciting things you can then do with this data set to enrich other experiences. Once receipts are digitised and the information is standardised and accessible, there are endless possibilities. Imagine helping someone track their carbon footprint through their purchases, or enriching receipts with nutritional information so that customers could create links with their health and fitness apps. I’m excited by the future potential and working closely with bank partners to create new and personalised experiences for customers.
Flux has grown exponentially as a business over the last 18 months, but we expect that growth to accelerate now that we are integrated into the apps of Barclays, Monzo and Starling, with more bank partners coming soon. We’ve also seen increasing interest from global retail brands, so Flux should one day be launching internationally to help digitise the world’s receipt data! | <urn:uuid:a0c02ac6-9dde-4464-9770-499c60555bb4> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | http://onthehill.info/2020/11/roisin-levine-talks-about-her-start-up-business-flux/ | 2023-11-29T08:25:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100057.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20231129073519-20231129103519-00452.warc.gz | en | 0.962431 | 929 | [

Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System
Established in 2006 under the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), the Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS) supports efforts to promote evidence- and outcome-based policy planning and implementation. In particular, ReSAKSS provides data and related analytical and knowledge products to facilitate CAADP benchmarking, review, and mutual learning processes. AKADEMIYA2063 leads the work of ReSAKSS in partnership with the African Union Commission, the African Union Development Agency-NEPAD (AUDA-NEPAD), and leading regional economic communities (RECs).
By providing policy-relevant data and analysis, facilitating dialogue among stakeholders, monitoring progress in achieving goals, and strengthening mutual accountability processes, ReSAKSS supports the successful implementation of CAADP. Key ReSAKSS activities include monitoring CAADP progress through its interactive website and the Annual Trends and Outlook Report (ATOR); enhancing Mutual Accountability in African agricultural policymaking through Joint Sector Review assessments and support to the continental Biennial Review; support to the design of evidence-based National Agriculture Investment Plans; and strengthening country-level knowledge and analysis capacities by establishing country Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support Systems.
Monitoring CAADP progress
ReSAKSS fills critical knowledge gaps by helping African countries to assess their progress toward meeting CAADP and Malabo Declaration goals for transforming agriculture and improving livelihoods. Using innovative knowledge tools, ReSAKSS tracks progress on over 30 core CAADP indicators. The ReSAKSS website features an interactive map and chart and country and regional profiles to monitor progress across the continent by geographic region, regional economic community, economic category, and stage of CAADP implementation reached. The ReSAKSS website also features interactive country eAtlases for mapping and analyzing data at the subnational level and provides access to datasets, publications, and resources on CAADP mutual accountability processes. ReSAKSS also tracks progress on CAADP indicators through its flagship Annual Trends and Outlook Report (ATOR). Launched in 2008, the ATOR is the official CAADP monitoring and evaluation report. In addition to tracking progress on CAADP indicators, each Africa-wide ATOR delves into a topic of strategic importance to the CAADP and Malabo agendas.
Enhancing Mutual Accountability
ReSAKSS, in collaboration with country stakeholders, the AUC, NEPAD Agency, and other development partners, facilitates agriculture joint sector reviews (JSRs) that are regular, inclusive, comprehensive, and technically robust. ReSAKSS conducts assessments of country and regional JSRs to evaluate both the institutional and policy landscape and the quality of current agricultural review processes and to develop action plans for improving or establishing best-practice JSRs. Outcomes of the assessments have been used to strengthen agriculture JSR processes where they exist and establish new JSRs.
ReSAKSS also provides technical assistance to the CAADP Biennial Review Process, which reviews country, regional, and continental progress toward meeting the 2014 Malabo Declaration commitments. ReSAKSS supported the inaugural Biennial Review of 2018 as well as subsequent reviews through development of technical guidelines, tools, and indicators; training of national experts from across Africa; development of a user-friendly interface for data entry and automatic generation of scorecards; and support to efforts by countries and regional economic communities related to data collection and analysis, data entry, and drafting of country reports, regional summaries, and the continental report. ReSAKSS also supports the AUC and NPCA in drawing lessons to strengthen the review process, methodologies, and tools.
Promoting evidence-based National Agriculture Investment Plans
As many countries’ first-generation national agricultural investment plans (NAIPs) have ended, the next-generation plans must achieve the goals and targets of the 2014 Malabo Declaration. Together with local and international actors, ReSAKSS supports the development and implementation of next-generation NAIPs that are Malabo compliant through the creation of (1) a NAIP Toolbox that outlines metrics, analytical tools, methodologies, and core programmatic components to guide NAIP design; (2) a NAIP Experts Group of over 200 researchers from across Africa to provide technical support to countries; and (3) a NAIP Task Force to provide training, backstopping, and quality control for the local experts. Analytical support provided by the Experts Group includes an evaluation of each country’s current situation with respect to the Malabo thematic areas; the identification of investment priorities to increase a country’s likelihood of achieving key Malabo commitments and goals; and a qualitative assessment of good practices and indicated actions to accelerate progress under the Malabo thematic areas.
Establishing country SAKSS platforms
ReSAKSS works with national governments, including CAADP teams, to set up and strengthen Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support Systems (SAKSS) rooted in local capacities and infrastructure. The country SAKSS is a critical instrument for supporting the review of and dialogue on CAADP implementation as well as providing country-level data and analyses.
To improve analysis and visualization of policy data, ReSAKSS has been developing country eAtlases. These are a core tools of the SAKSS platforms for mapping highly disaggregated data on agricultural, socioeconomic, and biophysical indicators in a centralized and interactive system. The eAtlases improve country data and knowledge management and help policy analysts and policy makers access and use subnational-level data to guide agricultural policy and investment decisions. In addition, with an eye to building institutional and technical capacity, ReSAKSS shares best practices for data collection and analysis; collaborates on strategic analysis with in-country partners; and organizes trainings, workshops, and conferences.

World Autism Awareness Day is an internationally recognized day held on April 2 that promotes societal awareness of individuals living with autism and autism spectrum disorders (ASD), including Asperger syndrome. It was first proposed by the United Nations’ Qatar representative, Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser Al-Missned, and was supported by all member states, officially passing on November 1, 2007, and adopted on December 18, 2007. Although World Autism Awareness Day takes place on April 2, autism awareness organizations work throughout the month of April and beyond to educate the public on ASD with material on interacting with, encouraging, and supporting those living with autism disorders. More information on autism and ways to get involved are available through the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN).
Within the hospitality industry, there are only a handful of organizations working specifically to support and provide autism-friendly vacations. One such organization is Autism Double-Checked (ADC), which provides autism-specific training to hotel staff to create more autism-friendly travel experiences. To better understand the diversity challenges, growing diversity programs, and opportunities to be more inclusive within the hospitality industry, we interviewed the founders of ADC, Alan Day and David M. Tait, OBE.
HVS: Let us start with a fundamental question. Do you consider autism inclusion as an exercise in corporate social responsibility (CSR), or is it more a case of smart marketing to an unserved market?
ADC: It is actually a bit of both, plus a bonus benefit. Start with CSR. In today’s world, is there really anybody who doesn’t appreciate the upsides of greater diversity and inclusion? Improving accessibility for autistic children and adults is, quite simply, the right thing to do. As for the market opportunity with the autism community, as you correctly observe, the industry has never appreciated the size of this group, so it does little or nothing to attract it. It really is a wide-open opportunity. The bonus is that it’s something the employee group feels really good about, too.
HVS: Tell us more about the opportunity.
ADC: In the U.S., including the families of autistic children, this is a market of over 20 million people. Very few people are currently traveling but, even in normal times, this audience isn’t addressed. When they do travel, their general preference is for quieter, low-season days and times. And if they like the service they get, they are also more likely than most audiences to become repeat customers.
HVS: Twenty million? I didn’t realize that it was that big.
ADC: Actually, that is probably a low estimate. According to the CDC, autism impacts 1 in 54 children in the U.S., and that ratio is very similar in other countries with accurate tracking. While nobody has measured the exact size of the total audience, simple math gets you to well over 20 million when accounting for children, siblings, and parents.
HVS: And you say that this market isn’t addressed?
ADC: Yes. There is currently a lot of pent-up desire for travel and hotel rooms, but very little of this demand actually materializes because families in the autism community don’t have any confidence in the hotel sector’s understanding of their special needs. A recent survey of parents of autistic children asked, “Do you currently take family vacations?” and 87% [of respondents] said “No.” When asked if they would travel more if autism-friendly facilities were more available, 93% replied “Yes.” When asked for the most important things that a property or resort could do to give them more confidence in visiting, 95% rated having staff trained in autism awareness as either important (24%) or very important (71%).
HVS: I wanted to circle back to the comment you made about this population’s preference for slower times of the year. I am sure that is interesting to many hotel operators. Why is this demand more concentrated during times when hotels are typically slower?
ADC: Multiple factors, really. For a start, bigger high-season crowds make for longer lines and more waiting. Since many with autism struggle to understand timelines, waiting for just about anything can be somewhere between difficult and impossible. Also, bigger crowds mean more sensory stimuli: visual, auditory, etc. This can be overwhelming for some. Can I also add that, while school calendars obviously limit the flexibility of many families, even in peak season, they tend to seek out less crowded days of the week at hotels and attractions.
HVS: You also mentioned that this type of guest is a better prospect for repeat business. Can you tell us a little more about that?
ADC: One of the defining characteristics of autism is a tendency towards repetitive behavior. If a child on the spectrum is familiar and comfortable with a destination, it can make the experience more enjoyable, and trip-planning for the whole family easier. Parents of children with autism are much more likely to stick with things that have worked in the past.
HVS: Let’s discuss the return on investment (ROI). In the current circumstances where everyone’s resources are stretched thin, what would you say to an owner or operator who is worried about the increased training costs?
ADC: Believe me, we feel everybody’s pain. We’ve both spent our entire careers in travel and completely understand. Even though our training is inexpensive in the first place, we will work with any property to stagger the rollout and be flexible on terms. In other words, we’ll do whatever it takes to make the whole thing viable.
HVS: That helps with keeping the investment affordable. How do you help with maximizing the returns?
ADC: We do a number of things. We notify national and regional autism support organizations. If requested, we can provide assistance including things like search engine optimization (SEO) and social media marketing (SMM). Where appropriate, we will also team up a property’s public relations (PR) agency with ours. We did this recently with Karisma Resorts of Mexico with great pickup. Also, when a property becomes certified, we will directly notify all the national autism support organizations. And for a quick method of proving the ROI potential, we offer a program called Rooms for Autism®.
HVS: Can you talk more about that program?
ADC: I’m so glad you asked. We initiate and maintain contact between the certified property and local autism support organizations. When the property identifies a particularly soft weekend and can offer a really good group rate, the support organization reaches out to its entire network and promotes that weekend as an opportunity for families to “practice” staying at a hotel. The fact is that many of these kids have simply never been in a hotel room before.
HVS: You spoke earlier about employee reaction. Can you give us a little more detail about that?
ADC: Certainly. At the end of each course, we survey the participants, and our average Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a remarkable +78.4. To put that in context, anything above +25 is considered good, while +40 is considered excellent. Anecdotally, during a round of cabin-crew recruitment (obviously we’re talking pre-pandemic), the Director of In-flight Services of a Canadian airline we had certified told us that she had been, and I quote, “surprised and delighted to have several applicants tell me that hearing about our autism involvement had influenced their decision to apply for a job here.” I think that kind of says it all.
HVS: So, what steps can an owner or operator take right now that can make a difference?
ADC: They can start by making a plan for autism inclusion. That can mean simply opting to have some managers/supervisors take the most basic course or taking a bigger step by enrolling staff for the full training. After which, we can help them set up their first Rooms for Autism® program. In the meantime, as an immediate and practical action, they can examine any waiting times at their property. Anything that reduces or eliminates waiting time will be of immense service to the autism community. And, in a world that seeks instant gratification, it will improve things for every guest.
HVS: Thank you for your insights.

Colchester mum Victoria Faulks says the emergency loan of a specialist bed for her young son Toby has transformed family life.
Toby, aged three, is on the autistic spectrum; he seeks constant sensory feedback and as a result his behaviours can be challenging. Stress-free nights and uninterrupted sleep were something Victoria and her husband could only dream about – until they got the specialist bed from Newlife Foundation for Disabled Children.
Their son had previously been sleeping in a standard child cot, but Toby likes to climb and has little awareness of danger. As a result he had fallen out of the cot, injuring his face.
Victoria said: “When you have a child who doesn’t have the ability to keep themselves safe, as a parent you are anxious 24 hours a day; it is all pervading. To be able to put Toby to bed in an environment where he is comfortable, happy and safe is wonderful; it has changed our lives.”
The high sided bed is fully padded and designed to withstand the repetitive bumping action that Toby demonstrates. “He gets sensory pleasure out of crashing against the sides,” said Victoria, “but because the bed is specially made for this sort of behaviour he can’t hurt himself.
“Whereas before his anxiety levels would rise at bed time, now he is excited about going to bed. Toby isn’t able to talk but he can communicate his feelings more easily now – he closes the doors on the side of his bed himself if he doesn’t want any attention and he rattles the doors when he wants a cuddle.”
Toby likes the feeling of being enclosed – in fact, says Victoria, his nursery has devised small spaces for him to retreat into when he is stressed. So he feels really snug in the specialist bed – so much so that he likes to play in the space too.
Victoria said: “In the two months since the equipment arrived, Toby has made progress in all aspects of his development. Eye contact has improved and he vocalises more and has picked up on some gross motor skills that have blown us away. We think it is because he is able to sleep more – resting improves his brain function.”
She added: “And Toby’s big brother Adam thinks the new bed is really cool!”
The specialist bed has been provided through Newlife’s Emergency Equipment Loans service which offers a quick response for children with life-threatening or life-limiting illness and those who face injury due to the absence of appropriate equipment. This is one of a range of the charity’s equipment grant and loan services which support thousands of under-19s each year.
Newlife is the UK’s largest charity provider of specialist equipment for children with disabilities and terminal illness.
Victoria said: “Working with Newlife has been a really positive experience. I know that for many parents even the thought of approaching a charity for help is off-putting. Too often we SEN parents have to battle for months to get any kind of service for our children. When it’s for a very expensive piece of equipment, I’m sure we all think there are families worse off than ourselves who need it more. Newlife has been so supportive in every aspect – I have recommended them to several other families.”
The charity has already funded more than £315,000 of equipment for 246 children in Essex – and is currently working with a further 24 families in the county with additional needs totalling £25,072. If you think you can help, either go to www.newlifecharity.co.uk/essex, call the Newlife County Liaison Team on tel no 01543 431 444 or email [email protected]. 100 per cent of all money fundraised or donated in Essex will be used to support children in the county.

Mark Le Blanc on how to go from the department of no, to the go-to
Wait. What does this actually mean?
I had a call the other day from a young lawyer wanting to better understand how you drive legal deep into the business of your organization. He understood the value. But was trying to understand the mechanics. Particularly when many business-units still see you as the department of no.
It took me a second, then occurred to me that what seems so obvious to those doing it, is not so obvious to those wanting to do it. In short, it requires you to develop relationships, use your skills in a judicious and timely manner and implement process and training to support your involvement.
As in all aspects of your life, this is where everything stands or falls. You will have to develop meaningful relationships with your internal clients. Typically, heads of business units, as they set the tone with their teams. If a business head doesn’t support your value, their team will not use you – certainly not proactively.
First, you need to get to know them personally. Not everyone is comfortable opening up about their private life. But you need to make it happen on some level. Getting to know someone personally builds bonds and helps you understand what motivates them. The more you know someone, the more you will have their back and vice versa. This increases trust, and trust increases speed. Regardless, it’s much more fun to work with someone when you actually know them.
Second, you need to get to know their business goals and challenges. What are they trying to achieve? What are their challenges – Resources? Money? Department or process friction? Compliance? Only once you know what their goals and challenges are can you truly add value. Some of this may be directly in your control, such as the contracting process. Other challenges may not be. Though, you may still have significant influence over them. For example, your product development team may be frustrated with the lack of communication and support from your IT team. As you work with both teams extensively and have good relationships with both leaders and their teams, you are well situated to quickly bridge the silos and open the lines of communication by recognizing the challenges of each team. In short, you often will have very strong cross-functional awareness.
Timely use of skills
Wow. Something that actually sounds like true legal work! There is no doubt that you will have unique skills to bring to the table as the lawyer in the room, helping them to understand the impact of IP, privacy or unique compliance concerns. But the real value here is in bringing your unique insights to the table early on – before they can become problems or send a team down a costly and time-consuming road.
On top of this, you will often be one of the key analytical thinkers in the room, helping the team to identify and breakdown challenges – not just legal ones. The more you bring your value to the table early, the more these teams will see you as a problem solver and not a problem creator. Getting an early invite to the table is not simple, even with strong relationships. Things move fast and often non-obvious players can be left out until a problem arises calling for their skill set. Routine meetings with department heads can help. But, not always. Keep your ear to the ground and do you best to see projects coming that warrant your attention and get yourself invited to those early stage meetings.
Process and education
You will need to ensure that your organization has strong process and education to support it. This can help not only with problem solving, but also with problem spotting.
For example, most organizations have undue risk, process frustration and productivity loss in procurement and contracting. Yet, both of these areas are ripe for sound process and training. As much as everyone hates process, even worse is no process. Also, if you don’t train your business units on these processes, they will not be used or, at best, will be misused.
Depending upon your organizational needs, these processes can be simple or quite complex. The procurement process for a small organization with one core line of business will be much less involved than it will for, say, Walmart who makes an art of the procurement process. Yet, no matter your size or breadth of business lines, you will need a procurement process.
Similarly, if you have no contracting process you can be sure that you will have contracts, or no contracts, in corners of your organization that create unknown risks. When they blow up, you have to drop everything you are doing to deal with matters that are largely preventable. Technology often helps with process. But it is often over relied upon in process improvement. Understand the current process, make it as efficient as possible, build standards, roll it out and train users. Without any use of technology, you will be astonished at the productivity you just gained. This drives RORI.
Be a value adder – Not a cost centre
You have key skills to bring to help your organization solve problems and succeed with their goals and objectives. You do not want to be reacting to one issue after another like an emergency room doctor (not even a young George Clooney). This will happen, even in the best run organizations. Your real value comes from bringing your skills to the table early.
Listen. Understand the teams’ goals and objectives. You don’t need to drive the bus. It is their business. Their challenges. Their goals. Your job is to remove roadblocks and increase the speed of business. Your involvement will minimize risk and maximize value. The deeper you are in the business of your organization, and closer to the real decision making, the more you can drive real value from your involvement. Then you will be a trusted advisor, and not just a cost centre. You will be a modern in-house counsel. | <urn:uuid:1a48e639-e509-4f12-8a8f-c1388530c383> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.canadianlawyermag.com/news/opinion/drive-legal-deep-into-the-business-of-your-organization/278043 | 2023-11-29T08:32:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100057.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20231129073519-20231129103519-00452.warc.gz | en | 0.966711 | 1,206 | [

The 2nd Best Phrase You Can Say
“That does help explain your actions, but it does nothing to excuse them.”
Today’s phrase may not be something you’ve ever heard, much less something you’ve ever said. But in my experience, it’s the best way to make sense of people’s past actions and help everyone find a better future.
Remember the Tiger Woods adultery scandal from a few years ago? He was found engaging in numerous extra-marital affairs, and eventually divorced.
He also went to treatment for his compulsive sexual behavior. When most media reported this, people threw around terms like “sex addiction” and “illness.” Scores of people made jokes and comments about him using his “illness” as an excuse for his terrible behavior.
What the world needed was today’s phrase. Tiger’s struggle with compulsivity was something borne out of a complex arrangement of his upbringing, his unprecedented fame, his biochemistry, his marriage, and a million small choices he made along the way. In order for him to heal, and change his behavior, he needed to understand all of those factors and how they affect him.
All of those factors helped explain his behavior. But none of those factors excused it. He is still 100% guilty for his behavior—no one caused him to do anything. But learning to understand everything that led his brain to choose such destructive behavior is the only way to change it.
Same thing with each of us, and with everyone we love and lead. When you ask your kid, or your employee, or your spouse, “Why did you do that?” you may think whatever they give you is an excuse. And they may try to use it that way. That’s when this phrase is so amazingly helpful. It gives you a chance to be understanding, while holding them accountable, at the same time.
Just watch out—start using this on others and they’ll start using it on you (which is a good thing).

Demonstrators Gather At Washington, D.C., CVS Pharmacy To Protest Practice Of Locking Up Condoms
Protesters gathered outside a Washington, D.C., CVS Pharmacy on Thursday to urge the pharmacy chain to end the practice of locking condoms in display cases in certain neighborhoods, WJLA News reports. The protesters contend that CVS restricts access to condoms in poor black neighborhoods, whose residents may be at higher risk for HIV, other sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancies (WJLA News, 6/11). The protest was a part of a nationwide effort called, "Cure CVS: Unlock the Condoms Initiative," which aims to urge CVS to keep condoms unlocked at all times (Business Wire release, 6/10). CVS said in a statement, "All CVS stores sell condoms that are unlocked and accessible" (WJLA News, 6/11).This is part of the Morning Briefing, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations.

Contrary to popular belief, the creation of PDF files doesn’t require expensive, complex software. There are plenty of utilities out there now that make PDF creation as simple as printing. Solid PDF Creator is one such program. This basic piece of software lets users create PDFs with little effort or expertise.
Solid PDF Creator is attractive and easy to navigate. Once the program is installed it appears as a printer in the Print menu of every program that has printing capabilities. Users simply select Solid PDF Creator instead of their default printer, and the program opens a dialog allowing users to save the PDF in the desired location. Users can enter the PDF’s title, subject, author and keywords, as well as add passwords and encryption. There are also settings for viewer preferences and document quality. The program’s built-in Help file is brief but adequate; we’re glad that it has one, but most users probably won’t need to consult it. Overall, Solid PDF Creator isn’t fancy, but it is true to its name: a solid piece of software that does what it’s designed to do without a lot of fuss. We liked that it includes a few useful extras without a bunch of pointless filler features. We think this program is a great choice for anyone who wants to create PDF files as easily as they print documents.
Solid PDF Creator installs politely but leaves a folder behind upon removal. We recommend this program to all users.

For many, the origins of Adidas may involve a bit of controversy: the company’s founder, Adolf Dassler, fought on the side of the Germans in World War I and joined the Nazi party in World War II
After returning from fighting in World War I, Dassler began working in the manufacture of athletic shoes in his mother’s kitchen
At first, he was joined by his younger brother Rudolf, but after a falling out, Rudolf left the company and founded a company that would later become one of Adidas’ bitter rivals: Puma.
Adidas – then Dassler Shoes – got its first big break when Adolf went to the 1936 Summer Olympics with a suitcase full of cleats and convinced sprinter Jesse Owens to wear them in competition. Jesse Owens became the first African-American to receive sponsorship at the Olympics, and the popularity of Dassler Shoes soared.
In 1947, Adolf changed the name of his company to Adidas, after his nickname “Adi”. He retained control of the company until 1987, when it was sold to a French investor named Bernard Tapie. Tapie increased production of Adidas shoes, but unable to pay the interest on the loan he used to buy the company, Tapie sold Adidas to Robert Louis-Dreyfus.
Adidas changed hands a few more times in the following years, and gradually grew in success. Today, Adidas supplies apparel for the NBA, NFL and other sports, and in 2016 the company had a turnover of 19.3 billion euros
Along the way, Adidas has leveraged clever marketing and the popularity of their designs to achieve such success, and at the forefront of those designs is the recognizable Adidas logo, a logo they bought for the equivalent of what today would be €1,600 and two bottles of whiskey.
History of the Adidas logo
The Adidas logo has long been famous for its three stripes. However, it was not the first company to use the design.
The original owner of the logo was Karhu Sports. However, Karhu Sports was badly affected by World War II and, lacking capital, the owner agreed to sell Adidas the trademark of its logo for what today would be the equivalent of 1600 euros and two bottles of whiskey.
In 1971, the company unveiled the three-striped Adidas logo in a shape that resembled a leaf called a “trefoil”. This version was later replaced by the current triangle-shaped logo, although the trefoil logo can still be found on some Adidas products.
What is the significance of the Adidas logo?
Even before Adidas bought the trefoil logo from Karhu Sports, it added three stripes to all its products, and referred to itself as the “three-stripe company”. These three stripes were intended to convey the company’s diversity and international appeal by symbolizing the three major land masses where Adidas shoes were sold: North America, Europe and Asia.
Adidas added even more meaning and symbolism to its latest logo by turning it into a triangle that looks like a mountain leaning upward. This mountain symbolizes overcoming challenges, a popular theme for the athletes to whom Adidas sells its apparel.
Adidas has also chosen to put its company name in lowercase letters in its logo. This choice represents the casual and informal nature of the Adidas brand.
Finally, since the Adidas logo does not have a set color scheme, Adidas is free to alter the color of the logo in any way it sees fit to complement the design of the clothing on which it is placed.
The evolution of the Adidas logo
The company’s look and branding have changed a lot over the past century. In the mid-20th century, the Adidas logo was beginning to take shape with an identity similar to the current one.
Early brand logos
In 1924, athletic footwear was already booming. The Dassler brothers were selling 200,000 pairs a year with the Dassler logo. The original brand featured a bird carrying a lightweight shoe inside a shield.
The brothers parted ways in 1947 after their relationship soured. Rudolf founded Ruda (later renamed Puma) and Adolf registered Adidas. Both subsidiaries were named with acronyms combining the letters of their first and last names (Adi was a nickname for Adolf).
The first change to the Adidas logo, in 1949, replaced the name Dassler with Adolf Dassler. The sneaker is more detailed with spikes and the three stripes.
The iconic three-stripe brand was acquired by Adolf Dassler in the 1940s from Finnish shoe manufacturer Karhu Sports. The owner had money problems due to World War II and sold it to Adolf for, as mentioned above, two bottles of whiskey and the equivalent of 1600 euros today
In 1950, the only thing that remained of the previous logo was the typeface.
1971 The three-leaf or “trefoil” logo
In 1971, the company started manufacturing clothing, so it changed the shape of its logo to the now iconic trefoil. This trefoil logo is made up of three soccer shapes arranged so that the bottom part was curved. This 1970s version is now used by Adida’s Originals casual clothing line
The shamrock logo was intended to show the diversity of the products while still incorporating the three iconic lines for which the brand was quickly becoming known. The three leaves represent North America, Europe and Asia, the three continents where Adidas sneakers were sold.
Adidas was no longer relegated to athletes. This particular logo helped the brand to become part of pop culture, and to be worn by great bands such as The Doors, The Sex Pistols, Bob Marley and David Bowie, among others.
1991 The three bands or “mountain” logo
In the 1990s, the logo changed to another iconic version of the trio of lines now used for Performance products. The stripes previously used were changed to a slight angle, representing how they looked on sneakers. The three stripes were arranged in a mountain-shaped icon representing an obstacle to overcome.
2002: The Adidas Neo logo
In 2002, the stripes were contained in a circle, with the appearance of an animal’s paw or three paths leading into the background. Here, the stripes take on a stylized look, with smaller ends and a slight arc to the right side. At this point, the logo remains very flat and the typeface remains the same for the logotype. This logo now represents the Adidas Style product lines.
2005 Back to simplicity
The three stripes logo is a timeless callback to the simplicity of the three stripes that made the brand so easy to identify. The logo is general enough to encompass all areas of the brand, while maintaining the overall aesthetic of the company.
What does Adidas use each of its logos for?
Since its creation, the Adidas logo has undergone a great transformation. What’s interesting is that Adidas has been very smart about retaining and recycling previous versions of its logo creations.
In fact, the four current logos are used for different product lines and collections. The trefoil logo, for example, is used for casual streetwear, while the standard logo is used for Adidas’ high-performance line.
Three stripes: Sports line
The sports and performance apparel line uses the three stripes on the sides of the pants, the shoulders of the T-shirts and the sides of the sneakers. This is the most traditional form of the company’s logo, dating back to the original three-stripe branding that was acquired in the 1940s.
Adidas Original’s Trefoil : Streetwear and casualwear
The Trefoil’s comeback is one that has become popular with people completely outside of the sports scene. From big name musicians taking center stage to influencers, the Adidas lifestyle brand is a popular fashion line.
The products in these lines are more expensive and are not designed for athleticism, although the clothing still has an athleisure style. Celebrities such as Kanye West, Pharrell Williams and many others have helped make this line more popular than ever.
The mountain: the standard Adidas logo
The standard logo features a mountain, which represents the challenges athletes face and the goals they must achieve. Products in this line range from sports jerseys and sweatpants to cleated boots and more.
Neo-Circle: Brand collaborations
The circle logo appears in Adidas collaborations. This circle logo still carries the three stripes, but offers a different look to symbolize an everyday clothing line that is no longer focused on practical apparel.
What does the Adidas brand logo teach us about the importance of brand image?
Clothing companies live and die by the popularity of their design. Not only do they need their design to be appealing to customers, but they also need it to be immediately recognizable for the most important aspects of their marketing strategy to work.
For example, Adidas pays large amounts of money for its shoes to be worn by professional athletes in the NBA and elsewhere. The goal is for people to see those athletes wearing those shoes and be encouraged to buy them
However, when an NBA basketball player wears Adidas shoes on the court, there is no advertising that he or she is wearing them other than a prominent logo on the shoe. Therefore, Adidas is counting on people being able to recognize the logo in an instant for these promotions to work.
Fortunately, the Adidas logo is instantly recognizable. It’s a simple design that has changed very little over the years and doesn’t rely on hard-to-see text to make it recognizable.
While there’s no doubt that people buy Adidas clothing for its quality, the Adidas logo remains the company’s main selling point. All of their clothing carries the iconic Adidas logo in one form or another, making the logo the main design element of their products
Best of all, Adidas has managed to tie a message to its logo. When people see Adidas apparel or see someone wearing it, they immediately associate the apparel with quality and athleticism. It is this association that keeps many customers coming back to Adidas time and time again.
While large, quality logos are important for any company, they are vital for companies like Adidas and Nike, which base their entire marketing strategy on their logo. Given the company’s international success, Adidas is a great example of how successful a logo can be when done right.

Today’s Climate Strike protests are supposed to bring attention to the science showing that human-made global warming is becoming a problem. Fair enough. But some participants see climate change as pretext for destroying a market system that they have always hated.
Naomi Klein made this point crystal clear in her 2014 book, This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate. Speaking with New York magazine this week, Klein claimed that “taking climate change seriously decimates the entire neoliberal project because you can’t have a laissez-faire attitude, where it’s having your emissions in 11 years; you actually need to regulate your way out of it. And yeah, you can have a few market mechanisms in place, but the market is not going to do it for you.”
The science, insists Klein, “says our future is radical. The present is pretty radical too. The idea that there is some sort of gradual, incremental, let’s-split-the-difference pathway to respond to this crisis is silly at this point.”
A headline in The Guardian put it even more forthrightly: “Ending climate change requires ending capitalism.”
Global warming is a classic example of what happens in an open-access commons. The atmosphere is unowned, so no one has an incentive to protect and conserve it. Instead, people overexploit and pollute it. Historically this happened with sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and smoke. In the United States, cities initially implemented regulations to cut back on noxious air pollutants. (For example, the first smoke abatement regulations were enacted by Chicago and Cincinnati in 1881.) Eventually federal regulations and market mechanisms were adopted. As a result, since 1980 air pollutants have collectively declined by 68 percent while the economy grew by 175 percent.
Scientists call this the environmental Kuznets curve. Environmental commons tend to deteriorate as countries begin to develop economically—but once per-capita income reaches a certain level, the public starts to demand a cleanup. It’s a U-shaped pattern: Economic growth initially hurts the environment, but after a point it makes things cleaner. By then, slowing or stopping economic growth will delay environmental improvement, including efforts to mitigate the problem of man-made global warming.
The MIT economist Andrew McAfee explains the process in a forthcoming book, More from Less:
We have finally learned how to tread more lightly on our planet….In America—a large rich country that accounts for about 25 percent of the global economy—we’re now generally using less for most resources year after year, even as our economy and population continue to grow. What’s more, we’re also polluting the air and water less, emitting fewer greenhouse gases, and seeing population increases in many animals that had almost vanished. America, in short, is post-peak in its exploitation of the earth. The situation is similar in many other rich countries, and even developing countries such as China are now taking better care of the planet in important ways.
How did this happen? Through more capitalism, not less:
The strangest aspect of the story is that we didn’t make any radical course changes to eliminate the trade-off between human prosperity and planetary health. Instead, we just got a lot better at doing things we’d already been doing. In particular, we got better at combining technological progress with capitalism to satisfy human wants and needs.
McAfee’s book documents how technological progress spurred by market competition is dematerializing the economy. McAfee makes a strong case that climate change is an open-access commons problem that markets can dematerialize once a price is put on greenhouse gas emissions.
The upshot is that Klein, The Guardian, and many of the climate strikers have it exactly backwards. Properly incentivized capitalism is the key to solving the problems caused by climate change.

Making money on the thinking of Nouriel Roubini isn’t what it used to be. The New York University professor, who in 2006 foretold the worst financial unraveling since the Great Depression, has yet to say the economy is worth investing in again. “There is a big risk of a double-dip recession,†wrote Roubini, also known as Dr. Doom, in his column in the Financial Times this week.

Thank you for working with my husband to get Dodger's cart here in time for our fund raiser! As you can see by the picture Dodger was there and able to walk around the track for about an hour. He loved it. The first night he was a little like a donkey in a carriage but once you get him going you can see the little spark in his eye and a big bounce in his step. I Think there are a few minor adjustments I need to do but I love the cart and although he may not admit is, so does Dodger. Thank you for helping all of our family to be mobile again. Great craftsmanship!!
If I can direct anyone else your way I Will. You guys were great to deal with, patient and the product is really terrific!
Thank you again,

As this first year has progressed we’ve expanded and so it’s time for us to fly away from the nest now and find pastures new.
We had an amazing first 6 months in Micklefield but don’t worry, we’re not going too far, we’ll still be in High Wycombe, or Downley to be precise. So wherever you are in the Buckinghamshire area, if you need graphic design, video work, animation, illustration or web design we’re still close by!

In February, two major announcements triggered huge interest in the topic of renewable energy and mining. Sandfire Resources have declared their intention to build a 10.6MW PV plant at their DeGrussa copper mine in Western Australia. The project would be approximately 10 times as big as the largest existing solar–diesel hybrid power plant in the mining sector. Just a week later, South African-focused Sibanye Gold announced plans to build a 150MW solar plant to gain control over their energy costs, which make up 20% of their total costs. It can be expected that this is only one step in a major shift toward renewable energy application in the mining sector.
A similar picture comes from other industries. IKEA, Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft und Amazon have recently backed some of the world’s biggest solar and wind projects. More and more industrial off-takers contribute to producing a part of their own energy.
The new THEnergy study “Renewable Energy as a Leverage for Mining Companies in Negotiations with Utilities and Diesel Suppliers” is based on 32 interviews with experts from the mining, financial and renewable energy sectors. It shows that many mining companies are not satisfied with their energy supplier. Oil prices and coal prices have fallen to a six-year low. However, many mining companies do not see this on their energy bill. The fallen oil and coal prices are very often not fully passed on to industrial off-takers. A second reason, which is mainly valid for Africa, parts of Asia and South America, is that the energy supply is not very reliable. In these regions, grid-connected mines have to deal with frequent load shedding or power outages, which are very critical for many mining processes. Further reasons include long waiting periods for grid connection and missing customer orientation of many electrical utilities and diesel suppliers. These factors reflect the mining companies’ discontent with their current energy providers.
In many countries the market structure, above all in the utility sector, is rather monopolistic and characterized by a low degree of competition. In this context, renewable energy providers break up the market and can offer interesting alternatives. The THEnergy study shows also that mining companies can improve their negotiating position considerably by backing renewable energy projects. It is estimated that mining groups can improve their electricity prices by up to 20% and their diesel prices by up to 15% after they have built their first wind and solar pilot projects. They do not necessarily have to finance the plants by themselves. In general, a number of external investors are in a position to offer power purchase agreements based on renewable energy to mining companies, and to finance solar or wind installation directly at off-grid mining sites (see previous THEnergy study).
Wind and solar energy have not only become cost competitive with conventional sources of energy, but at the same time they boost the negotiating position of mining companies towards their current energy suppliers. Mining companies who understand this potential will not wait very long with building their first wind and solar pilot plants. | <urn:uuid:cfb465ba-67b1-4867-89d4-389d05c3db33> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.th-energy.net/2015/02/24/thenergy-study-renewable-energy-boosts-negotiation-position-of-mining-companies-toward-current-energy-suppliers/ | 2023-12-07T20:56:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100686.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20231207185656-20231207215656-00652.warc.gz | en | 0.965953 | 612 | [

Electric Fencing Benefits
Larger animals such as horses could possibly damage a fence and escape. Although unlikely, it could happen. This is why you need to have a psychological barrier as well as a physical barrier.
Fencing can be expensive, so you want to protect your investment. Once an animal gets a shock from the fence, it will associate the fence as a barrier to which they should not cross.
Some animals may lean up against fences and over time the fence could start showing signs of strain. Animals can get hurt by leaning on barbed fences which can lead to expensive veterinary bills and production losses.
An electric fence deters animals from doing this so your fence will last much longer and your livestock will be healthier.
We are expert electric fence installers based in Knox county, Ohio. There are not many types of fences we haven’t installed over the years. Our fence installation services are completed right the first time and within budget.

Electric Fencing for Horses
An electric horse fence is widely regarded as the best option to contain horses. You can be sure your horses will be safe and secure on your property. An electric fence for horses acts as a deterrent and will not injure your animals. A barbed wire fence can cause more physical damage to a horse than an electric fence.
There is no need to worry about your electric bill skyrocketing as the amount of electricity an electric horse fence uses is minimal. You can even use a battery to power the fence.

The New Westminster Hyacks varsity squad defeated the Abbotsford Panthers before the largest crowd in its Homecoming game history.
The stands were packed when about 2,400 people attended the 2023 Homecoming festivities on Sept. 15 at Mercer Stadium.
Following some pre-game activities – including a proclamation from the mayor that future Homecoming events would be known as Farhan Lalji Day in honour of the founder and former longtime coach of the Hyacks – the Hyacks went on to defeat Abbotsford 47-13.
“It was a great night where we were able to come away with a decisive win against a good Abbotsford team, but more importantly, where the community was able to come out, have fun and celebrate our first 20 years with us,” said Andrew McKechnie, the team’s co-head coach.. “We loved seeing the City of New Westminster and our fans packing our stands and love the connection we have made with them. Thanks to all who made it happen.”
This year marks the 20th season for the New Westminster Hyacks varsity and junior varsity football teams.
At Homecoming, the All Decade Team, which is the Hyacks All Star Team from its second decade (2013 to 2022), was announced.
Named to the team on offence were: Kinsale Philip; Trew Dancey; Broxx Comia; Greyson Planinsic; Tristan Sands; Matt Seymour; Sebastien Reid; Harper Sherman; Sunny Rishi; Isaiah James; Pavan Kainth; and Robert Preda. On defence were: Dillon Cusker; Yanni Angelopolous; Evan Nolli; Vishaan Narayan; Jeff Lugtu; Connor Pattison; Sammy Sidhu; Lucas Steele; Taran Birdi; Austin Galbraith; Deakon Taylor-Young; and Andros Dancey.
On Friday, Sept. 22, the Hyacks will host Rutland for the very first time in program history. The game is at Mercer Stadium at 7 p.m.
Looking ahead, the Hyacks have another big night coming up on Friday, Nov. 3 for Senior’s Night.

Happy Mother’s Day! As a musician and music teacher, I am always finding ways to relate music to everyday experiences. Today, I have a special musical way to Honor Mom on Mother’s Day. The following is an excerpt from my online course called Music for Holidays & Special Days.
Mother’s Day Lesson from Music for Holidays & Special Days
Mother Goose by Ravel
In 1910, French composer Maurice Ravel originally composed Ma mère l’Oye (Mother Goose) as a piano duet for 2 young children named Mimi and Jean. He dedicated the work to them, as well. The duet premiered on April 20, 1910 and then was transcribed for solo piano that same year.
Both piano versions have the subtitle “cinq pièces enfantines” which means “five children’s pieces.”
- Pavane de la Belle au bois dormant (Pavane of Sleeping Beauty)
- Petit Poucet (Little Tom Thumb/ Hop o’ My Thumb)
- Laideronnette, impératrice des pagodes (Little Ugly Girl, Empress of the Pagodas)
- Les entretiens de la belle et de la bête (Conversations of Beauty and the Beast)
- Le jardin féerique (The Fairy Garden)
The next year, Ravel orchestrated the piece for harp, string section (violins, violas, cellos, and double basses), woodwinds (2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, and 2 bassoons), 2 French horns, timpani, bass drum, cymbals, triangle, tam-tam (gong), glockenspiel, xylophone, celesta, and jeu de timbre. A jeu de timbre is a glockenspiel operated by a piano keyboard.
The eleven numbers of the orchestrated Ma mère l’Oye are:
II. Premier tableau – Danse du rouet et scène (Spinning Wheel Dance and Scene)
III. Deuxième tableau – Pavane de la belle au bois dormant (Pavane for Sleeping Beauty)
V. Troisième tableau – Les entretiens de la belle et de la bête (The Conversation of Beauty and the Beast)
VII. Quatrième tableau – Petit Poucet (Little Tom Thumb/ Hop o’ My Thumb)
IX. Cinquième tableau – Laideronnette, impératrice des Pagodes (Little Ugly Girl, Empress of the Pagodas)
XI. Sixième tableau – Le jardin féerique (The Fairy Garden)
Songs My Mother Taught Me by Dvorak
Another perfect musical piece for Mother’s Day is Když mne stará matka zpívat ucívala (Songs My Mother Taught Me). Czech composer Antonín Dvorak’s song is the fourth of seven songs in his collection of Gypsy Songs. The short melody tells of a woman passing down the songs she learned to her own children. The lyrics were written by Adolf Heyduk in both Czech and German. It was originally written for voice and piano, but is often recorded for solo instrument (such as violin or cello) and piano, as well.
by Natalia Macfarren
Songs my mother taught me,
In the days long vanished;
Seldom from her eyelids
Were the teardrops banished.
Now I teach my children,
Each melodious measure.
Oft the tears are flowing,
Oft they flow from my memory’s treasure.

The basic rules in the video clip apply now as they did then.
With the weather changing for the worst and the snow causing disruption on the roads. The residents of Cambridgeshire would think that all drivers would be prepared and go into winter driving mode as soon as snowflakes begin to fall from the sky.
The same happens every year! Drivers across the province seemingly forget how to drive in the snow; as a result, we see large volumes of accidents.
To avoid becoming one of the statistics please, take the following winter driving tips into account and jog your memory about how to drive.
- Slow down: One of the biggest mistakes that people make is driving too fast on snow covered roads. Slow down and drive according the road conditions.
- Extra time: The odds are it will take a few extra minutes for you to get to your destination. Take this into consideration and leave a few minutes earlier than normal.
- Clean your car: Too many people leave ice and snow on their car and windscreen that restricts their visibility on the road. This can cause a number of issues such as not seeing other cars and pedestrians. Switch your lights on, not only to see but to be seen. Far too many people are not cleaning their lights of snow. It would help for other motorists to notice you, to know when you are breaking and to see where you are indicating.
- Stay home: If the roads are in bad condition, stay home if you can avoid travelling.
The snow means it is time to adjust our driving habits. Slow down, be more cautious, and don’t go out into the bad weather if you don’t have to.
All you need is some common sense. The secret of safe driving is TIME (did I say that out loud?). Giving yourself time to react, time to slow down, time to stop, time to keep safe control of your vehicle.
There is only one way to give yourself time….and that’s reducing your speed! I don’t mean driving like a 90 year old grandmother. I mean driving at a speed which is appropriate for the road and the conditions.
Moving off on ice & snow requires a higher gear and slow acceleration. When you slow down let the car lose its momentum by coming off the accelerator early, brake early and progressively. | <urn:uuid:216a7b1c-ab34-4cca-8b9b-73f97cffd429> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://drivinginstructorcambridge.com/how-to-drive-on-ice-snow/ | 2023-11-30T16:22:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100229.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20231130161920-20231130191920-00452.warc.gz | en | 0.96656 | 479 | [

In the missions community, we all believe the gospel must be spread. But there is increasing resistance to the idea of “preaching” or “proclaiming” the gospel with authority and simplicity. Why is that? ABWE President Paul Davis joins Scott and Alex this week to explain what is burdening him and what he’s seeing in the heart ofContinue reading “Paul Davis: Why the Gospel Must Be ‘Preached’”
You’ve probably heard of the plight of the Rohingya people—an unreached, Muslim people group forced out of Myanmar and into Bangladesh. But you probably haven’t heard about the Christian workers on the ground whom God has sovereignly positioned to impact them at such a time as this.

I was at a conference for therapists last week and listened to various workshops by therapists presenting about counseling and what they are finding is helping people heal and grow based on the current research. Let me tell you about one such topic, was given by Brene’ Brown, a therapist and social researcher I came to respect based on her research with belonging and attachment in relationships.
The gist of what she shared in her presentation was this … that all of us belong, all of us are in fact worthy. What she found was that most individuals that struggle with depression and attachment in relationships struggle internally with the notion of worthiness. Worthiness is defined as ones feeling that they have the value and intrinsic worth as a human being; that they deserve and can own love and attachment with others. The research is clear that individuals that struggle with depression struggle to subconsciously feel worthy of a better life, worthy of a stable marriage, worthy of having kids that respect them, etc. The variables that came out strongly in Brene’s research indicated that those that have weaker attachments with others in addition to depressive symptoms did in fact also have a similar thread that of feeling unworthy, that they did not deserve to have a life of peace and happiness. You may say, “I don’t feel that way, I deserve happiness now.” My retort is, do you? Do you deeply feel you are worthy now, worthy to feel love from others, worthy to feel confident, worthy and deserving to be passionate? Most do not, they do not since they are socialized as children to deal with guilt, shame, and doubt — the trio that fuels depression and sadness in adults.
I meet with adults and teens daily, working and guiding them in battling their internal emotional struggles. The foes they feud often are fueled at their core by the trio I mentioned above. In order to find peace and successfully battle sadness and depression they must tackle the foes first in order to make any headway. So how does one combat the issue of feeling unworthy and undeserving? You begin by noting the things in your mind and in writing that you feel worthy of now. Go ahead, literally write it down, list what you feel worth of and start reading that list daily. Now this is not mere hype and self-hypnosis, this is affirming what you know and believe now. As you do, you will be more open to the things you do not feel worthy of. Also, moving your mind into a position of thinking that you do deserve things. Do so by saying to yourself, internally or otherwise, “I deserve this or I am worthy of this.” At times if the negative thoughts are too pervasive, you’ll need to challenge them by stating and saying you are worthy even if you don’t feel like it. Olympic athletes to this, they act, speak, and live a vision of winning in order to do so.So, don’t hold back, instead start thinking and being worthy in your thoughts and actions.
The worthiness will come. You must start believing first and create space in your mind and heart for that to happen.

Israeli settlers have attacked Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, injuring three people, medical sources say.
The incident happened on Tuesday evening after a group of Israeli extremists threw stones at a Palestinian car in the city of Jenin, according to Palestinian medical sources.
The Palestinians were returning from a mourning ceremony held for the mother of a toddler, who died in a July arson attack by Israeli settlers on his home in the West Bank.
Riham Dawabsheh, the mother of 18-month-old Palestinian toddler, Ali Sa'ad Dawabsha, succumbed to her injuries on September 5 after spending more than five weeks on life support at a hospital in the southern city of Beersheba in the occupied territories.
The Palestinian woman had third-degree burns on 90 percent of her body.
Her 32-year-old husband, Sa’ad Dawabsheh, also died at the same hospital on August 8. He had been left with second-degree burns over more than 80 percent of his body.
Israeli settlers have, in recent years, carried out various attacks, including arson, on Palestinian property in the West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem).
More than half a million Israelis live in over 120 illegal settlements built since Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories in the West Bank and East al-Quds in 1967.
Much of the international community regards the Israeli settlements as illegal because the territories were occupied by Israel and are hence subject to the Geneva Conventions, which forbid construction on occupied lands. | <urn:uuid:ae51b442-ff2f-43a3-bcb9-30ec0801e53a> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2015/09/09/428396/Israel-Palestine-West-Bank-Jenin | 2023-12-05T15:46:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100551.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20231205140836-20231205170836-00052.warc.gz | en | 0.972399 | 316 | [

The chief executive of Wirecard resigned today after the search for €1.9 billion of cash missing from the embattled electronic payments firm hit a dead end in the Philippines.
Markus Braun, who built the German company into one of the hottest investments in Europe, leaves Wirecard facing a looming cash crunch amid allegations of fraud over the missing money.
In a statement, the company said James Freis, a former compliance officer at Germany's stock exchange, had been appointed as interim CEO.
Wirecard is holding emergency talks with banks to secure a financial lifeline, three people with knowledge of the matter said, after its auditor, EY, refused to sign off on its accounts.
The company warned this week that loans of roughly €2 billion could be terminated if its annual report is not published today.
It has until this evening to strike a deal with banks, the people said.
The company's shares tanked 40% again after two Philippine banks said the German payments company was not a client of theirs and alleged that documents had been falsified.
Braun, who has aggressively defended the company against accusations of accounting fraud, had earlier said that the firm could itself have been the victim of fraud.
Braun had not identified those he suspected of fraud, while BPI and BDO, the two Philippine banks, both issued statements denying any relationship with Wirecard.
"Wirecard is not a client of the bank. The document claiming the existence of a Wirecard account with BDO is a falsified document and carries forged signatures of bank officers," BDO said.
"The matter has already been reported to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas," BDO added in a statement, referring to the Philippines' central bank.
BPI also said Wirecard was not a client.
"Their external auditor presented to us a document that claimed that they are a client. We have determined that the document is spurious. We continue to investigate this matter," BPI said in a statement.
EY had regularly approved Wirecard's accounts in recent years, and its refusal to sign off for 2019 confirms failings found in an external probe by KPMG in April.
Wirecard was a welcome technology success story in Germany, which made its name in heavy industry. But its fortunes unravelled after a whistleblower alleged that it owed its success in part to a web of sham transactions.
Braun faced calls to resign but he and the company dismissed the claims and its failure to win a clean bill of health this week from auditors for its accounts shattered investor confidence. | <urn:uuid:88290900-5b7b-44d8-959f-76e85e77a2e1> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2020/0619/1148362-wirecard-possible-victim-of-fraud/ | 2023-12-05T15:16:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100551.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20231205140836-20231205170836-00052.warc.gz | en | 0.978473 | 525 | [

I’m not sure what would be a more unpleasant way to spend an hour, listening to “Watchmen”… “creator” Damon Lindelof talk about Alan Moore or listening to him talk about way too influential screenwriting professor Robert McKee. McKee has some profoundly insipid advice on writing and the creative process in general, which Lindelof seems to have imprinted on his DNA, if this show is any indication. Because this episode is all about the show’s “stakes.” Turns out they’re really low.
It starts with the reveal last episode’s OMG moment with the space junk falling out of the sky is actually a message for Regina King and not Dr. Manhattan still caring about vigilante turned Fed Jean Smart, which just teams up King and Smart, who have even less chemistry as strong women working together than they did as strong women not working together—most of it is the writing (starting last episode and continuing into this one, “Watchmen: The HBO Event Series” is shaping up to be far more what one would expect than the first couple episodes). But then there’s also a draining of the import of Don Johnson’s secret Klan history. Of course he’s a racist in the Klan, he’s a white man in Oklahoma. What did King actually expect? It seems like it should be a problematic plot point but… it’s not. It also seems like it’d piss off the Oklahoma film office and the tax breaks but maybe they demanded any white man in Oklahoma be shown to be in the Klan.
Anyway. There’s a scene with Tim Blake Nelson, because all he gets are single scenes. It’s nice to see him out of costume since you can’t see him act in the costume. And he and King do have some solid rapport.
Much of the episode involves new player Lady Trieu (played by Hong Chau, and named liked Lindelof telling you how he’s better than Alan Moore would be worse than the McKee mansplain); she’s building some mysterious giant clock in rural Oklahoma because it’s all connected. She also knows Lou Gossett Jr., who it’s still nice to see in such a big production but it’s wasting his time. In some ways, wasting Gossett’s time is worse than wasting King’s time, since King will go on to good projects after this one. “Watchmen” could be it for Gossett and non-Christian movie projects.
What else… oh, Jeremy Irons. We get more about his situation. Lindelof and co-writer Christal Henry are all about revealing the weird stuff in Irons’s life, which is all just for shock value. Steampunk-y shock value. Eh.
At least Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is still good. And it’s not like King is ever not going to be excellent, she’s just wasting her time. Also… does Lindelof really think the tick tock clock motif is the most important thing from Watchmen? He did go to NYU film school back before it was clear NYU film school wasn’t actually going to produce many good, much less great, filmmakers… so… yes? | <urn:uuid:d43b11d0-aff7-49b7-8ccc-89d8cbab0ac2> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://thestopbutton.com/2019/12/08/watchmen-2019-s01e04-if-you-dont-like-my-story-write-your-own/ | 2023-12-08T00:42:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100705.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20231207221604-20231208011604-00752.warc.gz | en | 0.958413 | 703 | [

The structural chemistry of carbon nanotube molecules has been of increasing interest, as molecular entities with fundamental structures of finite nanotube molecules have emerged. For the new field to be developed further, appropriate structural descriptors are necessary as the basis for discussion. In this paper, we propose new geometric descriptors for finite nanotube molecules. Based on popular existing descriptors, these new descriptors provide geometric measures for length and bond-and atom-filling in tubular molecular structures.

Target Corp. granted thousands of share units to its executives and board members last month on the day before the company announced plans to close its Canadian stores, pushing the retailer's share price higher as investors applauded the news.
Regulatory filings of insider transactions show 10 of Target's top executives – including chief executive officer Brian Cornell – and 10 members of Target's board were granted a total of 113,298 performance share units on Jan. 14 as part of the company's annual grant of equity under its compensation plan. Mr. Cornell alone received 22,749 share units.
On the same day the share units were granted, the Target board approved the decision to retreat from Canada. The U.S.-based discounter announced the next day on Jan. 15 that it was shutting its money-losing Canadian operations, saying it could not see a way to make the 133 stores profitable for at least five years. The news drove Target's share price up 2 per cent to close at $75.67 (U.S.) on Jan. 15 from $74.33 the prior day. Since then, the share price has continued to increase, closing Friday at $76.12.
Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder said the retailer "has a long-standing practice of granting annual stock compensation awards on the day they are approved at Target's board of directors. This approval historically takes place during the company's regularly scheduled January meeting."
However, corporate governance experts say Target's board should have been more sensitive to the unusual circumstances when a major news release was pending the next day. York University associate law professor Richard Leblanc said the board's decision to grant share units a day before the news release "does not pass the smell test from a governance point of view." Even if the grant date for the share units was set in advance, Mr. Leblanc said the announcement of the Canadian division's closing should have been done prior to it.
"From an optics point of view, informed people are going to say, 'Listen, this just doesn't make sense. You're making an announcement right after you've issued stock to directors.'"
Share units are phantom shares that track the company's share price over a period of time and are settled in cash based on the value of the company's shares on the date they become payable.
Target's performance-based restricted share units – called PBRSUs – are designed to track the value of the company's shares over a three-year period starting on the date they are granted. They pay out if the company's total shareholder return, which includes share-price gains and dividend payments, exceeds that of a selected peer group of retailers.
While it is unknown whether Target's newest PBRSUs will ultimately pay out in three years, they have received a leg up by being priced a day before news was released that is expected to have a positive impact on the company's earnings.
Neil Stern, senior partner at retail consultancy McMillanDoolittle in Chicago, said Target's decision to close its stores in Canada "will relieve it of an enormous economic burden …. Removing this distraction should enable it to emerge as a stronger, more focused retailer."
Target disclosed a new policy last year to grant all its annual share units in January, ensuring units are granted just once a year at a regular time.
Executive compensation experts said it is considered good practice to award equity under compensation plans at the same time each year so that the board of directors cannot be accused of picking a favourable time. But they argue the practice needs to be tempered with a practical view of other corporate events.
Toronto securities lawyer Carol Hansell, who specializes in providing corporate governance advice to boards of directors, said she believes it would have been prudent for the Target board to consider delaying the grant in this case, knowing such major news was going to be released the next day.
Ms. Hansell said there may have been no nefarious intention, but the grant date turned out to be favourable for the directors who approved the plan.
"If they had thought it through, they probably wouldn't have done it that way," Ms. Hansell said. "You might have said, 'Let's delay the option grant until this information has been fully absorbed by the marketplace. So we'll do the grant, but the grants aren't going to get priced until three days after that announcement."
Compensation consultant Paul Gryglewicz of Global Governance Advisors in Toronto said Target now runs a risk of seeing some shareholders vote "no" in its say-on-pay advisory vote on executive compensation this year, and some may express their displeasure by withholding their votes for directors on Target's board.
"Optically, it looks horrible," Mr. Gryglewicz said.
He noted he works with many clients designing compensation awards, and they spend a lot of time determining an appropriate equity grant date that will not fall before major news is disclosed. | <urn:uuid:018d3e04-f9ca-4b02-80ea-c5f6f6255e16> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/target-execs-granted-share-units-one-day-before-canada-retreat/article22998853/ | 2023-12-08T01:03:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100705.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20231207221604-20231208011604-00752.warc.gz | en | 0.972211 | 1,005 | [

Prayers for Liam
There is a mom that I met a couple months ago through Kaylie's blog.... she is super sweet, a good listener, and very supportive. Tomorrow her son Liam is having his Posterior Fossa Decompression surgery for his Chiari, tomorrow she needs our support, more than ever. I am asking everyone that has one of Kaylie's Chiari bracelets to wear it tomorrow in honor of Liam. Many prayers go out to him and his family. | <urn:uuid:4f3f7b27-04f4-48b4-90cf-8eb8c93c6363> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | http://www.kaylieschiari.com/2013/03/prayers-for-liam.html | 2023-12-09T05:16:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100800.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20231209040008-20231209070008-00652.warc.gz | en | 0.985273 | 107 | [

Matisyahu Makes a Break
Hasidic reggae superstar Matisyahu told the Miami New Times last month that he no longer identifies with the Lubavitch sect. He said that “the more I’m learning about other types of Jews, I don’t want to exclude myself. I felt boxed in.”
His admission sparked discussion in the Chabad-Lubavitch community. And in comments on various Web sites and blogs, some expressed concern that Matisyahu will be a bad influence on impressionable frum youth. Matisyahu, however, maintains that he’s still “really religious,” and says that he prays and meditates before every performance. But some Lubavitchers have cited another reason to worry: After he davens, Matisyahu turns on Jay-Z and drinks wine to relax. | <urn:uuid:156763f2-162f-4641-8b15-43fbbb293181> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://forward.com/israel/11281/matisyahu-makes-a-break-00223/ | 2023-12-09T05:24:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100800.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20231209040008-20231209070008-00652.warc.gz | en | 0.927216 | 181 | [

I used to think I wasn’t as good as them, you know those super fit people working out in the gym. When I rocked up at Central YMCA in London, on a September morning in 2003, I nearly turned around and walked home. I’d quit my 9 to 5 and I was about to start my training as a Personal Trainer, but I was completely out of my comfort zone. A voice in my head said ‘I’m not fit enough’, ‘I feel like a fraud’, ‘I can’t do this’. But from God knows where I managed to dig up the courage to walk through those doors. Sitting in that class room I watched as my new class mates walked in, many much younger than my 32 years, but some older. There was every kind of person in the room – a boxer, professional dancers, a body builder, but also an ex taxi driver who wanted a new career as he edged into his 60s; and a lawyer who just wanted to boost her own fitness.
Over the following months we went through our rigorous training together, the highs and lows, and it gradually dawned on me that no one was interested in my ‘worthiness’ to be there. Each person was only focussed on their journey, on their particular reason for wanting to help others live fitter and healthier lives. We became a really tight supportive group and with the help of our tutors became qualified PTs.
Within each one of us is the strength we need to achieve those tough goals in life. Every fight you’ve had, every tune you’ve had to dance to, every bit of your life experience, is already within you to draw from so you can achieve your life goals. Keep striving. Keep believing.

If Internet chatter is any indication of reality, Spartan Race’s “identity crisis” has finally trickled down to the participants themselves. The race’s popular acronym, STFU (Spartan The F*%# Up), has become the verbal equivalent of a sword, splitting Spartan racers into two distinct camps and revealing differing philosophies of what obstacle racing is and should be.
Spartan made its mark in obstacle racing by popularizing a ‘sport’ that was the antithesis of traditional, sanitized athletic events. Obstacle racers were a different breed with participants from all walks of life enamored with the rugged, unruly, rebellious sport that mirrored the dirtiness of life struggles and accomplishments. The weekend warriors competed side-by-side with elites. Camaraderie was evident among all cross-sections. Joe De Sena wanted to “rip people off their couches,” and force them to respond to harsh, difficult, and sometimes unfair challenges. He did just that, while simultaneously and perhaps unwittingly, giving rise to a close-knit community who ate, breathed, and slept obstacle racing.
Then Spartan Race and OCR itself began to emerge from infancy. Introduce Raptor Capital Management, Reebok, pro-team sponsorships, larger cash prizes, De Sena’s proclaimed goal to get Spartan Race in the Olympics, and the sport and the participants within began to shift ever so slightly. Competitive racers now had more on the line than just weekend bragging rights. Sponsorships, national exposure, and prize money was at stake. Spartan began attracting high caliber athletes from other sports lured by cash prizes and the possibilities of making their mark.
That’s when the identity crisis started becoming evident…at least to those who are attentive to the OCR industry. Spartan had created almost competing goals with itself. How could it cater to the masses who flocked to the races because of the OCR ‘tradition’, yet at the same time create legitimacy within an emerging sport that could eventually catch the eye of the Olympic Committee? Several serious OCR insiders noted this, but it didn’t spread to the greater OCR population until recently.
A growing number of Internet fights/discussions/debates/quarrels have started popping up, seemingly every day, and they all have their roots in the aforementioned differing philosophies of obstacle racing. Those who embraced OCR as a legitimate ‘sport’ (regardless of Olympic hope) became more vociferous in what needed to happen with regard to rules, standardization, etc.
The select few who are semi-pro obstacle racers see potential for the sport as a whole and for them personally. Yet whenever anyone voiced those concerns, “traditionalists” would push back in fear that OCR would be ruined, sanitized beyond recognition. Competitive racers who suggested that steps needed to be taken to ensure fairness in competition have often been met with cries of “STFU!!!!”
Debates raged; some calm, reasoned, and civil….others not so much. Unfortunately STFU has been used as a sometimes unconditional response to calls for progress or change of any kind. That acronym, which at one time was extremely popular throughout Spartan vernacular, has slowly become a proverbial 4-letter word among a contingent of racers. “I’ll be happy if I never hear ‘STFU’ again” has been muttered more than a few times.
Whether it is a blessing or a curse, I can see validity in both sides of the argument. Traditionalists fell in love with the attitude and philosophy of STFU and are unwilling to give that up. I understand that completely and would hate to see that spirit die. That attitude has literally changed lives and ultimately is the heart and soul of OCR. At the same time, others have visions of obstacle racing that go beyond a weekend of improving themselves by overcoming challenges.
What SHOULD Spartan’s identity be and is it really a CRISIS?
As a business, Spartan Race depends on the “masses” of people who show up to participate, challenge themselves, be a part of a group, and simply do the best they can. They form one side of Spartan Race’s identity and provide much more than a significant source of funding for the races. On the other side of the equation is a group of athletes who have embraced the idea that OCR can be a true “sport”. That philosophy requires a different framework, one that has clear rules, fairness, and sacrifices a portion of the rebellion for a level and safe playing field. That philosophy does not meld all that well with a traditional OCR philosophy.
Can both visions be achieved? Perhaps, but it will not happen overnight and it may never occur. Perhaps Spartan is fine with dueling identities and trying to achieve two goals. De Sena himself created both identities. Can we as a racing community be fine with it? I certainly hope so because I remember a time not too long ago when STFU was uniting, not the inflammatory term it is becoming. At the end of the day, I think the Spartan community will survive the debates. We’re a pretty good group of people and if we take the time to rationally discuss and understand the philosophical differences, we will continue to make this sport the best on earth.
Author’s note: For the sake of illustrating Spartan’s dual identities, I painted a picture with broad swaths by placing all obstacle racers into 1 of only 2 categories. Obviously that is not 100% true and there are varying degrees of thoughts and opinions on this subject. Some that I have placed in one category may agree more with the other side’s philosophy. I know many who fall in the traditionalist camp who are ardent supporters of progression toward legitimized sport. I also know elite competitors who see the value of the traditional spirit. Some, like myself, can see both sides of the issue. I know others who have no opinion either way and will simply enjoy whatever Spartan Race has to offer.
I should also point out that this article is clearly a vast oversimplification of nuances involved with serving customer bases with 2 different sets of needs. Painting the extremes makes it easier to discuss the issues at a more conceptual level without getting lost “in the weeds”. To address all sides of the issue would require a dissertation. I’ve already written one of those and I have no desire to do it again! 🙂

UNION CRAFTSMANSHIP AWARD2022 Result
- Event & Seminar
20 companies of union cooperation factories entered
Twenty of the union’s subcontract factories entered and produced works with the theme of “manufacturing that makes you want to pick it up and decorate your living space” in consideration of SDGs. Each company used their own ingenuity, such as using waste materials and creating works that contributed to the protection of traditional crafts. In the examination, all union employees examine and vote on four items: concept, SDGs, originality, and feasibility.
The award-winning works are as follows.
〇Best Award:Daiwa Gokin Seisakusho Co., Ltd.
A to F Light – Shining a light on Japanese culture, disasters and the environment –
Based on the theme of upcycling industrial waste, this lighting is made from scrap aluminum that has been anodized for long-lasting use. It can be placed on a desk or a side table in the bedroom. We use Japanese paper carefully made by craftsmen so that we can achieve a soft light and at the same time contribute to the development of the Japanese paper industry, which is suffering from a lack of successors. The punching material and the warm colors of Japanese paper, which differ depending on the surface, brightly illuminate future culture and industry.

Urban Art: Vandalism or Worthwhile Investment?
Jul 4, 2019
Since the early 2000’s our perception of street art has evolved from the discussion of whether it’s vandalism or not to the question of how much a Banksy will bring at auction. Since entering the mainstream contemporary art market as a category to be taken seriously in its own right, millions of dollars of urban art has sold every year at the big auction houses and top galleries. Buyers range from art lovers interested in purchasing their first piece to seasoned art collectors who are looking at urban art as worthwhile investment. Corporate and consumer brands spend big bucks to incorporate street art into their branding.
Annelien Bruins sits down with Muys Snijders, Head of the America’s Post-War & Contemporary Art Department at Bonhams, and Tony “Rubin” Sjöman, Manhattan based mural and studio artist to interview them on how street artists increasingly dominate the contemporary art market and how they have managed to turn graffiti into a sought-after investment.
What is the difference between Graffiti Art and Street Art?
Some say there is no difference and that they are all one in the same. But generally, Urban Art is overarching. Graffiti Art is more word-based social commentary and Street Art is more visual and image-based and grew from Graffiti Art. Keith Haring and Jean Michael Basquiat were not what you’d consider “traditional” Graffiti artists.
How do you go from creating art on walls to selling it in galleries?
There’s no simple answer. It’s a gradual process where one thing leads to another. When you start creating work in a studio, it can lead to exhibition spaces and galleries.
Has Street Art attained a position in the contemporary market?
Absolutely. Artists that started on the street are coming in and out of the market through the gallery world and secondary market. Bonhams has been offering sales of Street Art since 2008. Artists are going main stream and are ending up in the top evening sales.
Street Art in general is more accessible across different mediums from skateboards and billboards. And, unlike other art categories, it’s very international. The market will continue to grow as more attention is given to these artists. The works also speak to a younger generation of art collectors that easily identify with and understand the works.
Is there a big international client base?
It’s amazing what Instagram has done to the growth of the international Street Art market. It has propelled Street artists to the international forefront. It’s also a great tool to use when identifying which artists have come to market. Artists can show their work and the process behind it as opposed to just selling work on the platform.
What makes a good Street artist and does the same criteria apply as it does in the contemporary art market?
One of the ideas behind Graffiti Art is to not follow any rules. But nowadays, there are just so many rules. If the work is honest and authentic, that’s all that matters.
Sadly, there are a lot of fakes across all categories including Street Art. When making any significant investment, do your research and homework. If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.
Where do you buy Street Art?
Visit artist’s studio to get to know the artist and actually see the process. The process can be more important than the actual work. Other viable options are a gallery show or contemporary art fair such as Moniker Urban Contemporary Art Fair.
How do you feel about art being removed and sold from walls?
If you do something illegal on the streets, unfortunately you don’t have much claim to it. But when it comes to ethics, of course it’s not correct. So where do you draw the line?
You can listen to the audio recording of the discussion here.

Bladorthin was a King of Men in the Northeast sometime during the late Third Age. His realm was probably close in proximity to Lonely Mountain, because in The Hobbit Thorin and Balin remember and wonder if Bladorthin's order is still intact:
"The spears made for the armies of the great King Bladorthin (long since dead), each had a thrice-forged head and their shafts were inlaid with cunning gold, but they were never delivered or paid for."
Therefore Bladorthin probably ruled either Lake-town, Dale, maybe Rhûn, or Dorwinion. It says in the above quote that the spears were never delivered or paid for. This means either that the coming of Smaug or Bladorthin's own death delayed their delivery. The King's name appears to come from Elvish, most likely derived from blador, meaning "wide plain" and thin, meaning "grey". Actually, in the first draft of the Hobbit Gandalf the Grey was called Bladorthin. In the final copy, however, it the name only survives in this way. | <urn:uuid:32eae6b5-a03e-47df-9ae6-f7d2b81fdb08> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Bladorthin | 2014-12-18T02:41:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802765584.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075245-00049-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976605 | 233 | [

I know that the theater isn’t for everyone; musicals are even more polarizing. However, I must say that there are times when a musical number just simply establish the mood of the moment better than mere words can. Look at the popularity of the TV show Glee (the first season anyways) or the rise in ratings when Grey’s Anatomy went melodious.
I have read the novel, Wicked by Gregory Maguire; back in college in the Stone Ages. I truly appreciated Maguire’s writing style: a review I recently read said it best, “gritty, descriptive without being flowery.” I did not realize until last night the plethora of novels that have been written in the “Wizard of Oz” genre. I’ll be adding those to my personal library as well.
Yesterday, I was able to cash in my 30th birthday gift from/with Dear Hubby. It’s been a long time since I’ve donned a dress and heels, and the musical “Wicked” was just the excuse I had been looking for.
Before the production began, Dear Hubby and I had a glass of wine and Caesar salads at the Opera House Cafe. It was filled to the rafters with eager mother-daughter duos, school field trippers, and other couples who were seeking
brownie points an afternoon on the town during the holidays.
The Detroit Opera House was absolutely stunning! It was my first time there, and I couldn’t help but be enthralled by the intricate designs on the walls, ceilings, and balcony.
Once we entered the theater, my eyes were immediately drawn to the stage by blinking, glittering green lights.
Once the lights dimmed, I was mesmerized by the theatrics and whimsical lyrics to the soundtrack of the play. The actors and actresses did an amazing job! The first act flew by and before I knew it, Dear Hubby was munching on popcorn during intermission. I spent my fifteen minutes daydreaming about what souvenir I would want to purchase to remember this special day.
The second act was even more dazzling than the first. My overall impression of the play, “Wicked” is that I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the theater. There were no unnecessary musical moments; sometimes you just want to zip through the lyrics and yell out, “Just say it already!” When we got home, I looked up the remainder of the Wicked tour dates, and wouldn’t you know it, the production will be at the Wharton Center on Michigan State’s campus this summer just one day after our second anniversary. Hmmmm.
The final indulgence of the night was a trip to the Traverse City Pie Company for dinner. Dear Hubby and I decided to indulge in a piece of pie. The perfect way to end the day of dramatic means of celebrating the moment. | <urn:uuid:e25fc36d-1817-4183-9aa9-e811c5df0536> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://numberedpages.com/tag/detroit-opera-house/ | 2014-12-18T02:18:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802765584.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075245-00049-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.972884 | 619 | [

Bulletin of the Psychoanalytic Research Society, Volume IV, Number 1, Spring, 1995
Jospeh Weiss, MD and Harold Sampson, PhD began a research collaboration in 1964 with the purpose of studying by rigorous, quantitative research methods how psychoanalysis and psychotherapy work. Their research was inspired by earlier informal studies that Weiss had carried out over a number of years using process noses of psychoanalyses. Weiss's approach to these initial informal studies was empirical. Specifically, he investigated what events precede significant therapeutic progress (e. g., patients becoming aware of previously repressed ideas, experiencing new affects, developing insights, or relinquishing symptoms).
Weiss observed in his process notes that patients often made significant progress without any preceding interpretation by the analyst. Weiss inferred, from studying sequences leading to this progress, that patients made progress when they felt safe enough to do so. Moreover, patients work actively, often without awareness, to increase their sense of safety. One way they do so is by unconsciously testing beliefs about themselves and their interpersonal world in relation to the analyst. For example, a patient who believes that any disagreement with the analyst may hurt him (as she believed that disagreements with her father in childhood had caused him harm) tested this belief over a long period of time in analysis. She did so by disagreeing with the analyst's interpretations, at first timidly, and later forcefully. When the analyst's reactions tended to disconfirm her belief (that is, when the analyst "passed" her tests), she became more relaxed, more bold, and more insightful.
Weiss gradually developed a new psychoanalytic theory of the mind, of psychopathology, and of treatment. He proposed that psychological problems stem from pathogenic beliefs acquired in traumatic relational experiences in childhood, that these beliefs tell the individual that it is dangerous to pursue certain important goals, and that therapy is a process in which therapists work to change these beliefs through experiences with the therapist as well as through knowledge acquired in therapy.
A distinctive aspect of Weiss's theory is the assumption that patients are highly motivated to solve their problems and that they work actively throughout treatment (by testing the therapist) to obtain experiences and knowledge that will help them do this. Also distinctive is the assumption that the patient works in accord with unconscious plans as to which problems to tackle first, and which ones to defer until later. Patients decide unconsciously how they may work with their therapists to get help. They unconsciously coach their therapists with the aim of guiding them, so that they may provide the experiences, display the capacities, or convey the knowledge that patients need to disconfirm their pathogenic beliefs. Patients unconsciously monitor their therapists' attitudes toward the pathogenic beliefs they are working to change.
Because Weiss's new theory was based on observations of how change takes place, and appeared to have considerable explanatory power, Weiss and Sampson decided to subject it to rigorous empirical scrutiny. They met daily over a period of years to plan how to test Weiss's hypotheses about the therapeutic process. They figured out precisely what Weiss's theory asserted about nature, deduced specific empirical consequences of the theory, identified situations in which alternative psychoanalytic hypotheses predict different clinical observations. selected or developed reliable measures, and finally devised research designs with appropriate controls for sources of error (Weiss & Sampson, 1986; Weiss, 1993). In effect, they developed over time the intellectual capital required to undertake a formal program of research.
Pilot studies were conducted in 1967, and the first research paper was published several years later (Sampson, Weiss, Mlodnosky & Hause, 1972). In 1972, Weiss and Sampson established the Mt. Zion (now called the San Francisco) Psychotherapy Research Group. This group began a series of interrelated studies of the therapeutic process, using verbatim transcripts of psychoanalyses and psychotherapies.
Research findings of this group support the idea that patients want to overcome their problems, that they exert unconscious control over their repressions, and that they make progress in therapy when they decide unconsciously that it is safe to do so. For example, one study showed that repressed mental contents frequently become conscious in treatment without prior interpretation, that they are experienced vividly yet without stress or conflict, and that they are kept in consciousness and used by patients to increase their understanding of their mental life (Gassner, Sampson, Weiss & Brumer, 1982). Moreover, therapy events that increase patients' sense of safety, such as the therapist passing the patients' tests or giving patients interpretations that help them to understand and disconfirm their pathogenic beliefs, are typically followed by immediate patient progress (Broitman, 1985; Bush & Gassner, 1986; Davilla, 1992; Fretter, 1984; Fretter, Bucci, Broitman, Silberschatz & Curtis, 1994; Kelly, 1989; Linsner, 1987; Silberschatz, 1986; Silberschatz, Curtis, Sampson & Weiss, 1991; Silberschatz, Fretter & Curtis, 1986; Weiss, 1993a, 1994; Weiss, Sampson et al., 1986).
The consistent finding of immediate patient progress following a therapy event that increases a patient's sense of safety supports the idea that patients unconsciously and continuously monitor the therapist's behavior and attitudes and are immediately influenced by indications that support or challenge their pathogenic beliefs. Patients unconsciously are in touch with their environment and are guided by their appraisals of their reality.
We have also accumulated a great deal of evidence to support Weiss's concept that patients work in treatment in accord with unconscious plans as to how to use their therapy to change their pathogenic beliefs and solve their problems. For example, studies of the patient's testing of the therapist demonstrate that patients carry out trial actions to test their pathogenic beliefs in relation to the therapist (Kelly, 1989; Silberschatz, 1986; Silberschatz & Curtis, 1993). They become less anxious, bolder, more insightful, and more productive in treatment following "passed tests" (i. e., tests to which the therapist responds in a way that tends to disconfirm the belief being tested). These studies lend support to the idea that patients work in accord with unconscious plans to change their pathogenic beliefs.
The unconscious plan concept is also supported by studies of the effects of interpretations (Broitman, 1985; Bush & Gassner, 1986; Caston, 1986; Fretter, 1984). Patients respond with progress to interpretations that are compatible with their unconscious plans. However, they do not show progress following interpretations that are incompatible with their plans. These findings demonstrate that the unconscious plan concept predicts whether or not an interpretation will prove helpful to a patient. This finding cannot he predicted or explained except by the plan concept.
Studies investigating changes in the patient's level of insight in psychotherapy further support the plan concept. In these investigations, the level of "pro-plan" insight -- that is, insight which helps the patient go where he or she wants to go -- was determined in each session of five psychotherapies that the patient knew in advance would be limited to 16 sessions. In each case it was found that the patient had a relatively high level of insight in the intake interview and the first therapy session, then appeared to lose insight during the middle of therapy, and regained it toward the end of therapy. In each of the five cases a graph of the changes in the level of insight was best fit by a parabolic curve. These findings may be explained by the assumption that the patients each had an unconscious plan for the therapy. They unconsciously controlled their behavior in accordance with the time allotted to them, and their level of insight was a reflection of this unconscious assessment and planning (O'Connor, Edelstein, Barry & Weiss, 1994; Weiss, 1993b). They showed high insight during the first sessions in order to provide their therapists with the information that the therapists needed to help them. Their insight dropped when they began testing their therapists, and rose only toward the end of treatment, when they were no longer actively testing their therapists because therapy was coming to an end.
In a study investigating changes in the level of insight in the first 100 hours of an openended psychoanalytic case, a different pattern emerged. In this case, the initial level of insight dropped more slowly than in the time limited therapies and it rose and dropped again in several places throughout the first 100 hours of treatment. A graph of the changing level of insight was best fit by a fifthorder polynomial curve. This suggests that the patient devises a different unconscious plan in an openended treatment. In this instance, we assume that the patient, having unlimited time, allowed himself more time to carry out his initial testing. We assume that when time is not limited, a patient's plan for use of his therapy is not driven by time considerations, and thus differs from that found in the brief therapies.
Another line of research supporting Weiss's theory of psychopathology has developed through empirical studies of guilt and shame in larger populations. According to Weiss, pathogenic beliefs are inhibiting and constricting, particularly because they connect the pursuit of certain developmental goals with feelings of guilt, shame, fear and anxiety. For example, as a result of traumatic experiences in childhood, people may develop the belief that if they pursue certain adaptive goals, they will harm their parents or siblings. These beliefs may continue into adulthood when efforts to pursue these goals, or even consideration of such efforts, evoke feelings of guilt. Thus, Weiss's theory emphasizes interpersonal guilt-that is, guilt that arises out of altruism and a concern about harming others-and its importance in the development and maintenance of psychopathology. In therapy, a patient's unconscious plan often involves changing those pathogenic beliefs that give rise to irrational interpersonal guilt.
In 1989, O'Connor, Berry and Weiss initiated a series of pilot studies which led to the development of a questionnaire-the Interpersonal Guilt Questionnaire (lGQ)-designed to operationalize and measure interpersonal guilt. This instrument includes subscales of Survivor Guilt, Separation Guilt, Omnipotent Responsibility Guilt, and SelfHate Guilt. Survivor guilt is characterized by the belief that a person experiences good things at the expense of others, and that by attempting to further their own cause, they may harm others. Separation guilt is characterized by the belief that one is harming one's parents or other loved ones by separating from them, or by being different from them. Omnipotent responsibility guilt is characterized by an exaggerated sense of responsibility for the well-being of others. Self-hate guilt is an extreme form of guilt that occurs in compliance with harsh and/or neglectful parents, and is characterized by people punishing themselves with negative thoughts and feelings.
Initial pilot studies using the IGQ have shown significant correlations between these types of interpersonal guilt and various problems such as depression, a pessimistic explanatory style, negative automatic thoughts, and child abuse and trauma. In several populations studied thus far, survivor guilt and selfhate guilt appear to be especially associated with depression. And in each sample we have found an especially high correlation between survivor guilt and shame (O'Connor, 1994; O'Connor, Berry, Weiss, Bush & Sampson, in preparation). Furthermore, these pilot studies have demonstrated that a clinical group -- drug-addicted clients -- were higher than a nonclinical population in interpersonal guilt (Meehan, O'Connor, Berry, Weiss, Morrison & Acampora, in preparation). Thus, the significance of interpersonal guilt to psychopathology, suggested by Weiss's theory, is supported by these studies.
As seen in the body of work described in this brief history, Weiss's theory has, from its inception, maintained a grounding in empirical data. Both in studies of the psychotherapy process, and more recently in studies of emotion and psychopathology, the basic assumptions of this theory -- that psychopathology stems from pathogenic beliefs derived from childhood trauma, that people are striving for health, and that people think and plan unconsciously -- have been shown to be testable, and are supported by empirical research. | <urn:uuid:fdf67eef-7205-48dc-8ecf-bf6d1d60c5f3> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://www.columbia.edu/~hc137/prs/v4n1/v4n1!4.htm | 2014-12-18T02:37:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802765584.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075245-00049-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.958865 | 2,477 | [

Keywords: Lakefront Cabin Cottage
We are two professionals living in Cincinnati. We are nature lovers and enjoy many outdoor sports and activities. We love our cabin and spend as much time there as we could. We would like to share our cabin with other nature lovers to help us offset some of the maintenance and improvement cost.
The Owner purchased this cabin in 2005
We discovered this Kentucky’s best kept secret 4 years ago. We fell in love with it. The lake is deep and large, but yet quiet. It is within Daniel Boone National Forest with beautiful foliages, wild lives, and rock formations. There are aslo plenty of amazing hiking trails and other recreational activities nearby.
We practically decided to buy the cabin as soon as we stepped out the realtor’s car! The cabin is nested under a big giant green tree umbrella and is only 50 feet from the water! We love to drink morning coffee on the dock while watching the morning mist coming up from the lake. We love to kayak to different coves in the lake to see wild lives and watch the milkyway in the middle of lake at the middle of night. We love to sit on the swing with camp fire and exchange jokes and stories with friends. We also love to drive on those long and winding country roads to see foliage changes and get wherever they lead us. The only problem is we have to leave and return to the reality! | <urn:uuid:cb5d95de-9096-4843-abe1-ed68efc7a531> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p251566vb | 2014-12-18T02:33:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802765584.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075245-00049-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.934254 | 515 | [

It was a bittersweet scene. Under a shedding jacaranda tree on a gloomy Monday morning, Linda Finley’s 33-year teaching career was coming to a close. In honor of the third-grade teacher’s retirement, the entire student body and staff of Los Cerritos Elementary School gathered around their historic school bell June 13 to bestow Finley with several flower arrangements, a homemade scrapbook, a Waterford crystal punch bowl, three songs, some tearful memories and much appreciation.
Finley sat stage left of the podium, next to her mother, her husband and her childhood friend.
Los Cerritos Principal Donald Beaver used a simile to explain to the young students the reason for the assembly. “Our lives are like books,” he said. “Some are larger, and some are shorter, so far. This month, one chapter of Mrs. Finley’s life is coming to a close.”
After fifth-grade teacher MaryAnn Stine, who had helped to organize the event, welcomed all in attendance, four students went to the microphone to share emotional reflections about Finley. When the children, one of whom was overcome with emotion and visibly crying, were finished, Stine remarked on the need for Kleenex for everyone.
Marilyn Eteaki, a former Los Cerritos student, was on hand to sing two songs for the occasion. “This song is dedicated to Mrs. Finley, Thank you so much for all the fond memories,” she said, before performing “Ave Maria.”
When Finley herself had the opportunity to speak, one of the first people she thanked was “Mr. Victor,” the school’s custodian who has been working there the same number of years as she. Finley then gave a brief history lesson on the school, which had begun as a one-room schoolhouse donated by the Bixby Family. She told about the school’s first teacher, who rode to work on a horse and taught all the grade levels in one class. Finley also mentioned the relevance of the school’s bell, which is now only rung on special occasions, and how it “represents the rich history of our school.”
Afterwards, the four boys and two girls who had been selected to do the honors of ringing the bell went forward and grabbed the rope attached to it. They tugged it to toll the bell 24 times, one chime for each of the years Finley has taught at Los Cerritos.
The guest speakers for the gathering were two of the school’s former principals: Sheryl Johnson and Thomas Huff.
Johnson said Finley has the ability of “waking up the genius in everyone” and that the retiring educator had had her students write letters to then President Bill Clinton, who wrote back to the class.
Huff commented that Finley always set high standards for her students. “But the mark of a great teacher is that she sets even higher standards for herself,” he said. Huff described how each school year Finley would set up her classroom’s patio with a table, chairs and flowers, where teachers would congregate. “Every school needs a Linda Finley,” he said. Huff then spoke of Finley’s attention to detail, remarking, “I believe Linda would give Martha Stewart a run for her money.”
He closed his comments with a quote by Dr. Seuss: “Don’t cry because it’s over– smile because it happened.” | <urn:uuid:ad05be9d-fecb-4e42-8302-f3755bb05928> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://www.signaltribunenewspaper.com/?p=10785 | 2014-12-18T02:31:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802765584.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075245-00049-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979152 | 767 | [
