Hi everyone. Looking to replace my stock exhaust system on 2003 Buick Regal GS because i have a leak somewhere around the cat. I've read up on the downpipe and u-bend delete mods and figured while I'm tearing the exhaust up, might as well go ahead and install those mods. I'm currently looking at...
I have a 1998 Buick Regal GS, SC 3.8L.
I need to locate the section of engine wiring
That plugs into the main harness at the
passenger front valve cover and goes to
ICM, crank sensor, etc.
I also need a section of the ABS harness
from the ABS unit on the driver side apron...
1998 Regal GS 3.8 Supercharged
Replaced fuel pump, crank sensor, cam position sensor
Tried swapping PCM from a Pontiac Grand AM.
I found a broken pink wire that runs from the fuze box, behind the radiator, and up to the engine (to the fuel injectors, I believe). I'm wondering if it could have... | <urn:uuid:1b5d7b69-276c-43fe-b72e-435ea15cfd6e> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.3800pro.com/tags/regal-gs/ | 2021-10-17T02:30:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585120.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20211017021554-20211017051554-00554.warc.gz | en | 0.919744 | 221 | [

Boxer Chris Eubank’s son Sebastian has died days before his 30th birthday. Sebastian had followed his father’s footsteps and become a professional boxer.
The British middleweight Eubank Snr said he and his family were “devastated” to hear of his son’s death in Dubai, where he lived.
And Chris Eubank Jnr tweeted: “Sorry I wasn’t there to watch your back like a big brother’s supposed to.”
Sebastian, the third-eldest of Eubank Snr’s children, leaves behind his wife Salma and son Raheem who was born a month ago, Eubank Snr said.
The Sun newspaper reported that Sebastian had been found dead on the beach after drowning.
In a statement, Eubank Snr said: “Sebastian grew up in Hove in England but in the last few years made his life in Dubai where he had a wide circle of friends and was a leader in the adoption of a healthy lifestyle and of alternative therapies.
“As well as being a personal trainer and professional boxer, Sebastian was also a deep thinker who liked to challenge accepted wisdom.
“He was loved and respected by all who knew him and will be forever in the thoughts of friends and family. As a family we now kindly ask to be given space and privacy to celebrate his life and remember the son, the brother, the husband, the friend.”
Sebastian’s mother Karron Meadows said: “Our whole family is grieving at the huge loss of our son and brother, Sebastian.”
Former world boxing champion Joe Calzaghe and the YouTuber and boxer KSI were among those to pay tribute to Sebastian.
Eubank Snr, 54, held the WBO middleweight and super-middleweight titles between 1990 and 1995 and was undefeated in his first 10 years as a professional. | <urn:uuid:ffb3ba7f-9f74-4942-92e0-5f1b6f9ecea3> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.thepigeonexpress.com/professional-boxer-sebastian-eubank-dies-days-before-his-30th-birthday/ | 2021-10-17T04:36:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585120.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20211017021554-20211017051554-00554.warc.gz | en | 0.98754 | 418 | [

There are many types of bud trimmers with varying sources of power or fuel. There are the battery, electric, oil and gas mixture trimmers and cordless trimmers. All are efficient in functionality and it is up to you to choose which option is the best for you. For example, if your landscape is large in size it is advisable to go in for a gas powered trimmers as battery powered ones might get discharged amidst the weeding process. But if your area is smaller using a cordless battery bud trimmer would be the best choice as it avoids the hardships posed by electric wires of electric trimmers and the noise caused by the gas ones. Thus before deciding upon which bud trimmer should be bought, you must make sure that you have ascertained your needs and budget.
Another very attractive feature of trimmers is their reachability as they can have access to those areas which cannot be reached and cleared by conventional lawn mowers. The contour and angle system take care of this reach aspect of the trimmer thereby making the process of weed removal a lot easier. For instance areas like floral gardens, an area around fences etc are difficult to handle for a mower but weed trimmers can simply get along in such areas and that too, quite well.
Today there are many good trimmer manufacturing companies. These companies provide world-class services to their customers and keep making continuous efforts in leading to their delight than just satisfaction. Hence it can be concluded that trimmers are an indispensable tool of lawn care and maintenance. But in order to enjoy the benefits of this wonderful device on a continuous basis, you must also keep it in a prim and proper way. Keep a note of any replacement or part that needs to be taken care of. Of all the lawn care devices, weed trimmers are the most vital and useful. A weed trimmer is a kind of a tool which helps you to get rid of all types of weeds in your landscape in a very smooth and easy way. With the help of its advanced blades, it cuts off tall and stubborn weeds which mar the look by popping in and around the landscape. Lawn care and maintenance is a very tough task without a trimmer so it is very important to have one. It suits very well for the usage by house owners as well as landowners for commercial purposes.
And as they say, better safe than sorry, you must make sure that you are taking all the safety precautions that are specified in the user guide or manual. If you follow all the guidelines well, you will always have a fun-filled and safe weeding session. Proper maintenance of this equipment is important. A scrub with water and dish detergent once a season works to remove dirt and grease. A string should be replaced with a fresh spool as needed, and the fuel tank should be emptied before storing it away at the end of the season. The oil should be replaced if the spark plug is black upon removal. | <urn:uuid:a51b250e-dce2-43a1-9109-146eff06d17c> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://zenpalate.com/all-about-bud-trimmers/ | 2021-10-20T00:08:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585290.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20211019233130-20211020023130-00714.warc.gz | en | 0.968183 | 594 | [

One serious form of decay among young children is baby bottle tooth decay. Milk from an animal and breast milk naturally contain sugars. In addition, formula and some nut milks also contain sugars. Drinking from a breast nipple or a bottle nipple allows the sugary liquid to pool around all surfaces of the teeth, unlike drinking from a cup. When sweet liquids pool around the child’s teeth, plaque bacteria have an opportunity to produce acids that attack tooth enamel for longer periods of time. Depending on the dental stage, crowding, quality of the enamel, and anatomy of the teeth, prolonged breast and bottle feeding can cause cavities in infants. Furthermore, putting a baby to bed for a nap or at night with a bottle other than water can cause serious and rapid tooth decay.
If you must give the baby a bottle as a comforter at bedtime, it should contain only water. If your child won’t fall asleep without the bottle of milk or formula, gradually dilute the bottle’s contents with water over a period of two to three weeks. Dr. Espinosa supports a mother’s choice to breastfeed. Unfortunately, many mothers do not realize breastfeeding can cause severe cavities in infants, especially if feeding at liberty throughout the day and throughout the night. This risk increases greatly the older the patient becomes, the longer they have been eating a solid food diet, and the more teeth that have erupted in the mouth. Please consult with Dr. Espinosa as she can help guide the proper preventative measures to take in order to counteract the risk of toddler and young children breastfeeding. In addition, Dr. Espinosa highly recommends that her patients do not drink juice or soda as the acid and natural or processed sugar content is too concentrated for primary teeth. If juice, Pediasure, or Pedialyte has been recommended by your pediatrician for health reasons, please consult with Dr. Espinosa to help develop a schedule and preventive regimen to counteract these dental risks.
Sippy cups should be used as a training tool from the bottle to a cup and should be discontinued by the first birthday. If your child uses a sippy cup throughout the day, fill the sippy cup with water only. Sippy cups allow the liquid to pool and soak all surfaces of the teeth similar to a bottle or nipple, putting their teeth at higher risk for cavities if liquid other than water is used. Dr. Espinosa likes straw cups or 360 degree cups that aid a parent in preventing spills, yet trains the lip and tongue musculature to mimic drinking from a cup. | <urn:uuid:ef62e9d0-6fd4-48d1-91c8-fd9012e4d62b> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.novatochildrensdentistry.com/post/baby-bottle-tooth-decay-breastfeeding-decay-early-childhood-caries | 2021-10-21T15:32:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585424.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20211021133500-20211021163500-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.936635 | 531 | [

The album was the first of Dylan's albums to break into the US top 10, and it also topped the UK charts later that Spring.

Between sessions at HSBC’s recent Global Liquidity and Cash Management Natural Resources and Utilities Annual Forum, TMI caught up with an HSBC Representative to leverage their global expertise on the key topics impacting corporate treasury departments today, and to gather his insights on the actions treasurers can take to prepare for tomorrow.
What is the ONE thing – above all else – that treasurers should have on their agenda right now and why?
As the world becomes more digital, cybersecurity should be a priority for all corporate treasurers. They must join forces with IT to take responsibility for the company’s cyber defences, in particular around payments.
More treasurers are doing this: according to a survey that HSBC recently conducted in conjunction with Celent, 82% of treasurers cited cybersecurity as their number one concern. But the cybercriminals are now specifically targeting treasury departments, since they not only have the ability to move cash, but they also sit on valuable data, such as bank account information. Therefore, treasury teams need to be increasingly vigilant and proactive when it comes to cybersecurity. | <urn:uuid:53ade368-7664-4bd0-8ba6-17bc7a0528a3> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://treasury-management.com/articles/take-five/ | 2021-10-27T09:05:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588113.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20211027084718-20211027114718-00394.warc.gz | en | 0.95329 | 216 | [

Instructions to ensure safe hoisting of service users and safe use of gantry hoists
Always ensure that when using any hoist to transfer a service user, the hoist straps and lifting motor are in a position vertically above the service user, using slide sheets or bed to reposition them prior to lifting/lowering.
If the hoist straps and motor are not positioned vertically above the service user, it will cause excessive wear to the hoisting equipment, can cause the hoist to fail and become unsafe and potentially put the safety of the service user and carers at risk.
When using Gantry Hoists ensure carers are aware of the instructions regarding checking, prior to each lift, that the hoist gantry does not have the red marker showing at the top of the upright, which indicates the gantry is not tightly secured to the ceiling and is therefore unsafe.
Any concern regarding the safety of any equipment MUST be reported immediately to the equipment provider.

Sharp price declines in gold, silver amid firmer USDX, rising bond yields
(Kitco News) - Gold and silver futures prices are sharply lower and near their session lows in early U.S. trading Wednesday. Rising government bond yields and a rebound in the U.S. dollar index at mid-week are negative outside forces working against the precious metals markets. Also, buying interest in the safe-haven metals has been limited recently by rallying stock markets and a rebound in the U.S. dollar index. And then there are the shorter-term, chart-based futures traders who are piling on because of the more bearish near-term technical postures in gold and silver. April gold futures were last down $24.10 at $1,710.00 and May Comex silver was last down $0.649 at $26.225 an ounce.
The U.S. data point of the day is the just-released ADP national employment report for February, which came it a up 117,000, which was a big downside miss from the expected rise of 225,000 jobs, and compares to a 174,000 gain in January. The metals markets sold off further following the data, even though it should have been supportive to prices. This report is a precursor to Friday morning’s employment situation report from the U.S. Labor Department—arguably the most important U.S. economic report of the month.
Global stock markets were mostly up overnight. U.S. stock indexes are pointed toward higher openings when the New York day session begins. Marketplace attitudes are upbeat at mid-week after President Biden said on Tuesday all Americans wanting a Covid vaccine should be able to get one by the end of May. Also, the U.S. government is getting closer to rolling out its newest pandemic assistance package that totals $1.9 trillion. “We can see light at the end of the tunnel of the pandemic,” said one market analyst. The safe-haven metals are getting no support from the above notions.
In overnight news, the Euro zone services purchasing managers index (PMI) in February came in at 45.7 compared to 45.4 in January. A reading below 50.0 suggests contraction in the sector.
Traders and investors are still keeping one eye on government bond yields, which have been generally rising recently, and which have made stock markets a bit wobbly at times. The U.S. Treasury 10-year note is presently trading around 1.446% for its yield. Many veteran market watchers believe U.S. Treasury yields will continue to climb in the coming months.
The key “outside markets” today see Nymex crude oil futures prices higher and trading around $61.85 a barrel. There is an OPEC meeting on Thursday that the marketplace will closely monitor. It could be that with oil prices above $60 a barrel that the cartel opens up its oil spigots some more, after curbing production in recent months to prop up prices. The U.S. dollar index is a bit firmer early today.
U.S. economic data due for release Wednesday includes the weekly MBA mortgage applications survey, the ADP national employment report, the U.S. services purchasing managers index (PMI), the ISM report on business services, the global services PMI, the Federal Reserve’s beige book and the weekly DOE liquid energy stocks report.
Technically, the April gold futures bears have the solid overall near-term technical advantage amid a two-month-old price downtrend in place on the daily chart. Bulls’ next upside price objective is to produce a close in April futures above solid resistance at this week’s high of $1,757.40. Bears' next near-term downside price objective is pushing futures prices below solid technical support at $1,700.00. First resistance is seen at $1,725.00 and then at today’s high of $1,739.10. First support is seen at this week’s low of $1,704.60 and then at $1,700.00. Wyckoff's Market Rating: 2.5
May silver futures bulls have the slight overall near-term technical advantage but need to show fresh power soon to keep it. Silver bulls' next upside price objective is closing prices above solid technical resistance at last week’s high of $28.47 an ounce. The next downside price objective for the bears is closing prices below solid support at $25.00. First resistance is seen at the overnight high of $26.915 and then at this week’s high of $27.175. Next support is seen at $26.00 and then at this week’s low of $25.82. Wyckoff's Market Rating: 5.5. | <urn:uuid:eb1db5c9-4a17-49ab-bb54-f3b757f220c7> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.kitco.com/news/2021-03-03/Sharp-price-declines-in-gold-silver-amid-firmer-USDX-rising-bond-yields.html | 2021-10-27T09:39:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588113.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20211027084718-20211027114718-00394.warc.gz | en | 0.955877 | 1,007 | [

Signs that your soul has lived a past life
The idea that people are born and reborn―that we all have had past lives―dates back at least 3,000 years. Discussions of the subject can be found in the ancient traditions of India, Greece, and the Celtic Druids, and reincarnation is a common theme among New Age philosophies.
Those who believe in reincarnation say clues about our past lives can be found in our dreams, our bodies, and our souls. The following psychological, emotional, and physical phenomena all may hold hints of who we once were.
Dreams are a reflection of the unconscious mind, and some believe that repetitive dreams can reflect past experiences in other lives. Some people dream of places and people that feel very familiar, despite never having been to them or met them.
There are many cases of young children who have memories where they can accurately describe in detail people, places, or events they've never experienced. Although these memories could just be fantasies or incongruencies, they can also suggest connections to past lives.
Everyone experiences the sensation of déjà vu, usually triggered by smells, sounds, sights, tastes, and many other factors. Most of us have experienced a sudden, surprising feeling that an event we are experiencing has happened to us exactly this way before. Although scientists and psychiatrists insist there are neurological explanations for these phenomena, others believe these strange feelings could be vague, fleeting memories of past lives.
You're an empath
Empaths can absorb the emotions, energy, and pain of those around them, directly experiencing and feeling what others experience. This can indicate that the soul has reincarnated many times and has the ability to transcend the individual self and extend to others.
Also known as "future sight," this involves the ability to know things about the future through visions, physical sensations, or even dreams. Some believe that this indicates that the soul is matured and has lived many lives.
Inexplicable affinity for certain time periods
Having an inexplicable attraction for a certain time period, place, culture, or environment can indicate that you have already experienced it. Examples of these affinities could be ancient Greek culture, the 19th century, World War I, or the ancient Egyptians.
You have a soulmate
Sometimes we feel an inexplicably strong connection with another human being. A soul connection is thought to happen with someone you've already encountered in a past life.
Unexplainable Fears or Phobias
As touched on in the last point, many believe that certain memories or experiences can pass on or leave “residues” in our childhoods and adulthood’s from past lives. Whether this is true, or is simply a form of problem bypassing, many believe that we can experience the echoes of past traumas in our own lifetimes in the form of unexplainable fears and phobias.
Examples can include: the fear of drowning, the fear of certain types of animals, the fear of certain places, the fear of particular numbers, colors, objects, and so forth. | <urn:uuid:c18932c6-085a-4011-93b0-cf632a384be6> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.crowdyworld.com/2022/08/signs-that-your-soul-has-lived-past-life.html | 2023-11-28T10:57:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679099281.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20231128083443-20231128113443-00754.warc.gz | en | 0.950159 | 633 | [

Yard debris will be collected on April 20th at the MWA Compost Center at 1601 Harriett Street. For complete SCRUB program details, visit the Des Moines Public Works webpage or call 283-4950.
Learn about the 2-1-1 information and referral service, and get an update on how the Merle Hay Tax Increment Finance (TIF) district is performing, when the Merle Hay Neighborhood Association meets at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 18, at the Northwest Community Center, 5110 Franklin Ave. We expect to have a guest speaker from 2-1-1, followed by staff from the City of Des Moines (City).
The 2-1-1 helpline provides callers with information on tax preparation assistance, rent payment assistance, utility payment assistance, elderly care, child care programs, legal services, food pantries, and more. Questions will follow a short presentation by a 2-1-1 staff member.
MHNA has also invited staff from the City’s Office of Economic Development to provide an overview of the TIF district, how it’s performing, and how it’s being used to aid redevelopment at Merle Hay Mall and other nearby commercial properties. Moving forward, MHNA has asked the City Council and City staff to make sure the TIF is also used to fund streetscape improvements, consistent with the 2008 Merle Hay neighborhood improvement plan. A list of public improvement priorities was formally submitted to the City Council in January 2017.
We’ll have plenty of other neighborhood updates, public safety information, and more. Refreshments will be provided. Come meet your neighbors and find out how you can help improve OUR neighborhood. We look forward to a great turnout on April 18.

We are spending the summer on the Upper Chesapeake Bay. If you would like to stop and visit we are at the Bohemia Bay Yacht Harbor. The Bohemia River is at the WEST End of the C&D Canal.
The river is shallow, about 6′ at low tide. The marina is on the north (port) side as you are coming up the river. Look for the light house at the end of the fairway. Rates are 1 per foot.
If you want to anchor out, there is a “no wake zone” about 1 mile past the Bohemia Bay Yacht Harbor. It covers the one mile section before the bridge (AKA the Rt 213 Bridge) There are good anchorages along the north (port) shore. If you go under the bridge there are good anchorages on either the Big or Little Bohemia. The basin just past the bridge is a popular water skiing location on the weekends, but to the right and up some it’s very calm.
We can meet you at our marina with a loaner car, or if you anchor out, the marina just under the Scotchman’s Creek Bridge is Richmond’s Marina, we can meet you there.
Marine parts stores, mechanics at both Bohemia Bay and Richmonds. Grocery, produce, beverages 15 mins by car.
We will be on the water on the 21 June celebrating the solstice.
We will be in North East MD(a 5 mile trip to the upper, upper end of the bay) on Friday 3 July and will be anchoring out after the fireworks.
Come see us! | <urn:uuid:1f32bc28-6e2b-4eb1-a628-492b6ba168ce> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | http://qvmarine.com/foster/come-visit-summer-of-2015/ | 2023-11-29T15:14:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100112.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20231129141108-20231129171108-00654.warc.gz | en | 0.929163 | 342 | [

What to Look for When Hiring a Bio Clean up Service Provider
You may confused on the steps to take in case you have mess from suicide survival or accumulated waste. You know it can be a big job and one that can be a bit dangerous if you do not take the right measures. With the help of a professional company, you would need to ensure that you get to choose the best of all to ensure that you get to enjoy the great services and live safely. You will identify many companies that will claim that they offer hoarding clean up services, ensure that you get to know exactly the main services that is offered and the right procedure that you need to use in the process. Main ways that you need to consider when you are selecting the best cleaning strategy.
You need to ensure that you start with the local companies that have been known to offer professional hoarding clean up services. Ensure that you even consider specialists who are licensed to work in your state as professional hoarding clean up services need to have papers that show that they have been offering the services in your place. You would not like to be responsible for anything in case the company that you are choosing does not insure the employees, you need to ensure that the company offers an insurance that caters for the employees and the clients.
Do not stick with only hoarder cleaning company that you get from your research. For you to get the best results out of that interview that you conduct, you would need to engage in an interview with more than just one hoarder cleaners. When you have multiple choices for your choice, this is when you would know what you need to settle with now that you will have made the right choice. After you are through with the three interviews, you will probably have the right results of finding the best firm to work with among all the others. The hoarder clean up services, you are choosing should be a bother to your normal life just because you chose the wrong company.
It is very wrong for you to think that you already found the right hoarder cleaners while you still haven’t mentioned to how your scope is like. Some people will only need the Hoarding cleanup company once a week while in a bi-weekly and others every month. If you feel that you like the cleaners to be doing a certain thing every week, then you go for it and give your heart what it is calling for. In fact, as you are defining scope, you should know if the cleaners would be available whenever you need them and at any time or they just work for a few hours and in certain days. Finally, ask how the pricing is going to be and ensure that you are paying for the right services. | <urn:uuid:43677734-e58f-4986-8240-a371d3d9efca> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://digitalvera.com/on-professionals-my-experience-explained.html | 2023-11-30T21:11:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100232.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20231130193829-20231130223829-00554.warc.gz | en | 0.97831 | 544 | [

I guess it won’t be the first time I’ve stepped on a yellow jackets’ nest so I’ll come out and say something that a lot of top trainers won’t like. There is a better way to train retrievers than force fetching. It isn’t that I think force fetching a dog is overly cruel, although that argument has been heard as well. The thing is, if you put the time in and train a pup right in the first place, it isn’t necessary.
Force fetching is a biblical truth among modern retriever trainers. A finished bird dog has to deliver the bird to hand every time, right? Of course he does. So he needs to be force fetched. NO. Retriever trainers are training their pups not to bring dummies to hand and then force training them to remedy the problem. There is an easier way and it doesn’t leave the dog with the negative connection with holding a bird, dummy or other object.
So can you force a younger pup to deliver to hand every time? No, you can’t force him. He isn’t old enough to use force at all. A good trainer can trick a pup to deliver to hand every time! The key to doing this is to trick him every time, or as close to it as physically possible during puppy training. The other key is to trick him from the first time. The pup literally won’t know there is another option.
Start when the pup is seven weeks old or even in pre weaning if it’s your litter. Every time you toss a pigeon or a bumper, do your best to get it back into your hand straight out of the dog’s mouth. Be creative! Dogs often drop dummies when they get back because they know the job is done. Distract the dog, run backwards if needed, hold your hand high and wave it around. Then sneak in with the other hand and get the dummy in your hand straight out of the mouth. Then love on the pup and do it again. As with all puppy training, quit while they are still having fun. Don’t fret if the dummy gets dropped a couple times. Just don’t reinforce it.
Dogs trained in this manner quickly learn that the ONLY way to bring the bird or dummy to you is to give it to you directly. Frequently, eight week old dogs will deliver to hand almost every time. As the dog grows older, they learn to succeed from the beginning instead of a year of doing it wrong and then switching to FORCE. Delivery to hand and sitting to deliver become easy once the dog has been tricked to believe it’s the only acceptable way. Dogs eventually show the same enthusiasm to grab the dummy and hold it on command that force trained dogs get. Actually, it comes much sooner and at less cost in enthusiasm and love for the trainer, the bird and dummy. | <urn:uuid:b8317955-22cd-4929-86b3-496f1e46b213> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.liveoutdoors.com/hunting/125868-training-your-bird-dog-pup-the-best-way/ | 2023-12-02T02:44:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100309.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20231202010506-20231202040506-00454.warc.gz | en | 0.951991 | 613 | [

How to Choose the Right Company for Auto Repair Services
Dealing with an auto repair company that is not professional can make the condition of your car worse. It is not an easy task choosing an auto repair company, especially with the many options to choose from. What should you look out for when choosing an auto repair company? Below is a guide.
What are the qualifications of the mechanics working at the auto repair company?
Where is the auto repair company you are prospecting located? It will be easier for you to take the car for the repairs, if the company is based in your area. Most auto repair companies will indicate on their website the different areas they operate from.
Does the company offer the auto repair services that you need? It is important you choose a company that deals with the auto repair services that you need.
Does the auto repair company you are prospecting have experience? An auto repair company that has no experience will end up practicing with your car. The company has mastered and perfected its skills over the years. Before you hire the company, ask them how long they have been offering the auto repair services.
Does the auto repair company have a license to operate? Ask the auto repair company to give you copies of their licenses, then verify they are legit.
Does the company have an insurance cover? In case your car is damaged further during the repairs, the insurance company will meet the cost.
When selecting an auto repair company, go for one that has built a good reputation in the market over the years. When checking the reviews, ensure you are checking from trusted sources online. From reading the testimonies and reviews, you will know what to expect, if you settle for the auto repair company. The more positive reviews the auto repair company has, the better.
When does the auto repair company open and close? If you want to take your car for the repairs on Saturday, choose a company that operates during the weekend. You can know the working hours of the auto repair company by checking on their website.
How much will the company charge you for the auto repair services? An auto repair company that is new in the market will charge you less compared to one that has several years of experience. Work with quotes from at least 3 auto repair companies, then choose one that is within your budget.
Does the auto repair company have any client references? When you call the past clients of the auto repair company, ask them if the car was repaired well, if the job was completed on time and the pricing.
Through word of mouth you can get a reputable auto repair company from your area. | <urn:uuid:f7c36b18-a256-4647-8331-e61a5d0c441d> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | http://www.stellarcross.org/the-path-to-finding-better-professionals/1942 | 2023-12-03T07:35:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100489.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20231203062445-20231203092445-00354.warc.gz | en | 0.965212 | 529 | [

The summer sun is dwindling, and a new school year has begun. This year welcomes lots of newness, mask rules, bathroom closings, and in addition, new members of the school faculty. One of those new staff members is Ms. Woron, a teacher in Fairfield Warde’s Art Department!
Ms. Woron is an art teacher who previously taught at Roger Ludlowe Middle School. She is entering the 11th year of her career. Ms. Woron teaches the Foundation of 2D Art class as well as the Introduction to Drawing and Painting class. If you need to contact Ms. Woron, her room is F41 and her email is [email protected] . Read on for the full interview:
How long have you been teaching?
I have been teaching for 10 years. This is year 11!
Where did you teach before coming to Warde?
I taught elementary art in the Naugatuck school district for my first 2 years. I was split between Andrew Avenue, Maple Hill, and Western Elementary Schools. Then I came to Fairfield and taught for 4 years at Dwight Elementary. I spent the past 6 years at Roger Ludlowe Middle School.
What is your favorite thing about Warde so far?
I am really enjoying getting to know new staff and students. It’s also been really great to teach at this level, where the students are very interested in art!
Who is your favorite artist?
I have always loved the work of Jackson Pollock. He was criticized for his abstract work but I just think it’s so cool to look at, especially in person at a museum where his paintings almost envelop you. I love that he painted with emotion over focusing on realism.
Why do you enjoy teaching art?
I love teaching art because I feel like I constantly learn from my students. With every grade level I have taught, I have always been enlightened by the ideas and creative thoughts of my students, and I love that! I also obviously love making art, and when I teach I get to do that too!
Do you know where all of the open bathrooms are?
I think so!? I know there are open bathrooms in every house, and upstairs Fitts is closed. | <urn:uuid:77758d4f-1b3f-4c35-8eff-eeb6c0efd6f2> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | http://www.wardefocus.com/new-year-new-art-teacher/ | 2023-12-05T18:47:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100555.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20231205172745-20231205202745-00154.warc.gz | en | 0.981389 | 470 | [

What you need to know
- OnePlus has started rolling out the August 2020 security patch to the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro.
- The update also comes with fixes for the ambient display.
- Finally, OnePlus adds an optimized shooting effect with the front camera.
As per XDA Developers, here's what's new in this update:
- Fixed the overlapping character display issue with Ambient display
- Fixed known issues and improved system stability
- Updated Android Security Patch to 2020.08
- Optimized shooting effect with front camera
The security update itself isn't anything super interesting. There are some media and processor framework improvements, but OnePlus' front-facing camera and ambient display fixes are the most noteworthy improvements coming down the line. The OnePlus 7/7T series will also get this update later this month, alongside a new user-assistance feature. You can check for the update from the settings app if you're using one of these phones.
In the future, OnePlus plans to update OxygenOS to more closely resemble Samsung's version of Android or OneUi. Depending on how you feel about the change, we may miss the halcyon days of boring updates.

Around 9000 retailers register under POS: FBR
ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has said around 9000 retailers have registered under the FBR, Point of Sale System (POS) to achieve the goal of automation and digitalization in the tax process.
Director General Automation Abdul Wahid said this during the inauguration session of the 3-day workshop titled “Digitalization of Taxes in Pakistan” jointly organized by FBR and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and Pacific (UNESCAP).
Abdul Wahid said steps are being taken to digitalize the country’s tax system in collaboration with the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).
He highlighted that the track and trace system has been fully implemented in major tax sectors including cigarettes, sugar and fertilizer, adding that in the cement sector, the system will also be fully implemented in the coming 2 months.
Meanwhile, Member Administration and Human Resources FBR, Syed Nadeem Rizvi has appreciated the commitment and dedication of the Economic Affairs Officer of UNESCAP, Alberto Isgut for supporting FBR by identifying reverent and highly qualified resource persons to speak on different topics.
He said that the transformation of the taxation process from a paper base to a digital board is very important for the documentation of Pakistan’s economy.
“FBR keeping global trends as a part of the journey of digitalization by launching four key projects which included track and trace system, point of sale system, digital invoicing and data analysis, and Synchronized Withholding Administration and Payment Software (SWAPS)”, he added.
He said that FBR has established the Directorate General of Digital initiative in the drive to consolidate all the digital initiatives under one umbrella.
Syed Nadeem Rizvi said that during 3 days workshop speakers would share their experiences with participants as to how their countries practice Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools for increasing tax revenues.
A senior official of FBR said by learning from different experiences, FBR aims to build capacity within FBR to not only effectively implement these programs but also to further improve our daily infrastructure and contribute to the sustainable economic growth and development of Pakistan.
He also appreciated the efforts of the Directorate General of Digital initiative for actively engaging with UNESCAP members and other participants to make this conference a reality. | <urn:uuid:034edfe2-5de3-4e31-b5da-59808120d4ac> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://dailydigitalposts.com/?p=897 | 2023-12-08T02:17:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100710.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20231208013411-20231208043411-00854.warc.gz | en | 0.942618 | 488 | [

While the vast majority of sports bettors like to wager on games that are on television, the experts at Pro Edge Sports believe the true value rests with those games that receive little national attention. With that in mind, lets take a look at one college football game in particular that we believe is flying under-the-radar and offers sports investors excellent value.
Texas State (-16) (-110) over Georgia State
While Georgia State is 0-6 this season, the Panthers have covered four consecutive point spreads, including last week’s near upset over Troy. However, the Panthers arrive in town with a terrible offense that is averaging 16.5 points per game on 2.8 yards per rush play, 7.0 yards per pass attempt and 4.1 yards per play. Overall, Georgia State is 1.2 yards per rush play, 0.5 yards per pass attempt and 1.3 yards per play worse than average offensively in 2013.
We do not envision Georgia State moving the ball against an underrated Bobcat stop unit that is allowing 23.5 points per game on 5.0 yards per play this season. Overall, Texas State is 0.3 yards per play better than average defensively, which gives the Bobcats an incredible 1.6 yards per play advantage over Georgia State’s pathetic attack.
It is true that Texas State possesses a bad offense that is averaging 22.8 points per game on 4.8 yards per play, which is 0.7 yards per play worse than average. However, the Panthers enter the game with an even more fragile defense that is yielding 37.7 points per game on 7.4 yards per play, which is 1.1 yards per play worse than average. Texas State has also found a prolific runner in Robert Lowe, who has scampered for 138 and 140 yards in two of the last three games.
While your next door neighbor is busy picking the winner between Florida State/Clemson, USC/Notre or Florida/Missouri, Pro Edge recommends finding the smaller schools who offer the greatest value. Texas State is our under-the-radar college football blowout winner! | <urn:uuid:d6bcccea-467c-460e-ac2c-ef40643aac65> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.oskeimsportspicks.com/radar-college-football-blowout-winner/ | 2023-12-11T19:00:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679516047.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20231211174901-20231211204901-00554.warc.gz | en | 0.961924 | 438 | [

What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants, also known as pit and fissure sealants, are protective coatings placed on the chewing surfaces of teeth. These thin plastic coatings protect the teeth from food particles and bacteria that cause decay. In addition, molars and premolars are the most common sites for sealant application.
They offer a smooth surface that reduces the chance of plaque accumulation and facilitates cleaning. Dental sealants are also painless because the procedure is quick and simple.
Children and teenagers can benefit the most from them because their developing teeth are more susceptible to cavities. When it comes to long-term oral health, sealants are a must-have.
Who Needs to Get Sealants?
Depending on their dental requirements, different people may benefit from sealants. For example, children should have sealants applied when their permanent molars erupt.
Sealants are beneficial for teenagers, especially those prone to cavities. Adults with deep grooves or cracks on their teeth are also good candidates for sealant treatment.
In addition, those with a high risk for tooth decay, such as those with poor oral hygiene or a history of cavities, should consider having sealants. The final decision of who needs sealants depends on the person’s oral health and the dentist’s recommendations.
What Is the Procedure for Applying Dental Sealants?
The application of dental sealants is a straightforward and quick process. The first step is to completely dry and clean the tooth.
The next step is applying an acidic gel to the tooth’s surface, creating a rough texture to which the sealant can better bond.
After a short time, the dentist rinses off the gel and dries the tooth. Then, the liquid sealant is put on the tooth, filling in all the pits and fissures.
A special curing light hardens the sealant to ensure good adhesion. The entire process is rapid and painless; in most cases, no anesthesia is necessary.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Sealants?
The benefits of sealants for oral health are numerous. The following are the top five benefits of dental sealants:
Dental sealants serve as a protective barrier. They shield the teeth from decay-causing bacteria and food particles that can gather in the deep grooves and cracks of the teeth.
Sealants help avoid cavities by sealing the vulnerable parts of the teeth; this lowers the chance of tooth decay.
Sealants offer extended protection against tooth decay; they may last many years with the right maintenance and care.
Sealants make teeth easier to clean and maintain oral hygiene by giving them a smooth surface. Brushing and flossing can effectively eliminate plaque and bacteria from sealed teeth.
Applying sealants is more affordable than treating dental cavities and getting fillings or other restorative procedures. In the future, it will help prevent the need for more extensive and expensive dental procedures.
It is critical to visit a dentist to decide whether sealants are appropriate for your dental needs.
Are There Any Drawbacks?
Yes, there are a few potential drawbacks to sealants to take into account. They offer only limited protection, leaving other areas susceptible to deterioration.
Sealants can wear away or chip over time, necessitating replacement. While allergic reactions to sealant materials are extremely uncommon, they do occur.
In order to make an informed decision about sealants, discussing any concerns or allergies with your dentist is necessary. In order to ensure that the sealants are still performing effectively, routine dental examinations are necessary. | <urn:uuid:7aea31e8-caad-4c19-97df-f265f5f29015> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://dentalland.ca/unveiling-the-power-of-dental-sealants-a-shield-for-your-smile/ | 2023-11-28T14:21:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679099514.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20231128115347-20231128145347-00854.warc.gz | en | 0.927106 | 748 | [

I. General Provisions
The Customer Complaints Code is an integral part of the General Business Terms of the Seller, Kentino s.r.o.., CZ 05066743, officially registered at Cestmirova 25 14000 Praha , incorporated in the Commercial Register maintained by the Municipal Court in Prague, sp. no.C 257790 (hereafter referred to as the “Seller” or “Kentino”), and describes how to claim the products purchased at Kentino.
The Buyer is obligated to acquaint himself with the Customer Complaints Code and the General Terms and Conditions (hereafter referred to as the “GBT”) before ordering any items. At the same time, the Buyer acknowledges that he is obliged to provide Kentino with the level of co-operation necessary to resolve the claim, failing which the time-limit for the claim procedure will be extended by the time the Buyer did not provide the required cooperation.
By entering the purchase agreement and accepting items from the Seller, the Buyer agrees to this Customer Complaints Code.
Definitions of the terms contained in this Customer Complaints Code take precedence over the definitions as contained in the GBT. If this Customer Complaints Code does not define a term, the meaning is understood as defined in the GBT. If the GBT does not define it either, it is understood to have the meaning used in legislation.
Repair services covered by a purchased or contracted service are solely governed by the terms of the particular service.
II. Quality Guarantee
As proof of warranty, Kentino issues a proof of purchase (invoice) with the legal data required for the claim procedure (e.g. the name of the product, warranty period, price, quantity, serial number).
At the express request of the Buyer, Kentino can also provide the warranty in the form of a warranty card. By default, however, and if possible, the Seller provides the Buyer with a proof of purchase of the item, which contains all the necessary data.
If it is necessary for the warranty provided, Kentino will explain the content of the warranty in a warranty card in an understandable manner, specifying its scope, conditions, duration and the way in which claims can be exercised. Kentino will also state in the warranty card that the warranty does not limit or infringe the Buyer’s rights related to the purchase of the product.
1. Time period for claiming defective performance
The time period for claiming defective performance starts on the date the Buyer receives the product, i.e. on the date listed on the purchase receipt or on the warranty card.
The time period is:
- 24 months for new (including unpacked) items;
- 21 months for refurbished items (refurbished items are used items that have been checked by our specialists and are marked accordingly);
- 12 months for used items (used items means products marked as such, which have been used or serviced, have no defects, and the completeness of the packaging does not prevent full use of the product).
For consumer products (e.g. cosmetics, drugstore items, etc.) the Buyer is entitled to claim defective performance within twenty-four (24) months, unless the expiration date is stated on the packaging, in which case the period is shortened to last until the date marked on the packaging.
If the Buyer is an entrepreneur, the time period in which he or she may claim defective performance may be different if expressly stated for the product type. In this case, the stated time period takes precedence and the product is marked like this.
The time period ends with the date corresponding to the date on which it started, after the given number of months. The warranty period in months is listed for each product in the Seller’s shop and is sufficiently highlighted on the purchase receipt.
Any liability claims applicable to the product become void if the claim is not submitted within the warranty period.
If a complaint is settled by replacing the item, the warranty period is not renewed. The original warranty period remains in effect, starting from the date when the Buyer received the original product.
2. Quality upon takeover
The Seller is obligated to ensure that the Buyer’s purchased product has no defects upon takeover. In particular, the Seller is obligated to ensure that at the time when the Buyer receives the product,
- the product has all the properties agreed on by both parties, and if such agreement does not exist, the product properties must be as described by the Seller or the manufacturer, or what the Buyer expects based on the nature of the product and the advertising made by the Seller or manufacturer.
- the product is suitable for the purpose indicated by the Seller or for the purpose the particular product type is normally used.
- the product is delivered in the appropriate quantity, volume, or weight.
- the product meets necessary legal requirements.
If a defect occurs within six months of the takeover, it is assumed that the product was defective at the time of purchase by the Buyer, unless the Seller can prove otherwise.
3. Contractual quality warranty
Kentino may provide free service beyond the statutory time limit (24 months) within the specified time period. This service is governed solely by this Customer Complaints Code, particularly the free service provisions as stated in Article VII. This free service is not the same as the “Extended Warranty” paid service, the terms of which are solely governed by the terms of the specific service.
III. Warranty Terms and Conditions
1. Quality Inspection
When receiving the goods from the shipping company, the Buyer is to properly and thoroughly inspect the delivery (namely the number of packages, undamaged sealing tape bearing the company logo and undamaged packaging) as per the delivery note.
On the day of receiving the goods, the Buyer is to further inspect the goods for completeness; in particular, if all parts have been delivered.
Any irregularities are to be reported to the Seller upon receipt of the goods from the shipping company and stated in the record of delivery whereby the Buyer may refuse to accept the delivery. Any irregularities may as well be reported to the email address [email protected] or by completing the contact form. Photos documenting the defects and damaged packaging are recommended to be attached.
The statutory warranty period is not affected thereby. Any subsequent claims of incomplete delivery or damaged packaging do not limit the Buyer’s right to claim the warranty; yet, they enable Kentino to prove that the same do not represent a conflict with the purchase agreement.
2. Warranty Claims
To expedite the process, the Buyer is recommended to claim the warranty directly with the respective authorised service centre (if applicable).
The buyer can file a claim at any of the Seller’s stores; see the list of stores here. It is not possible to file a claim during the night-time checkout process or in places where Kentino provides special services. In the case of large household appliances (washing machines, refrigerators, stoves, built-in appliances), we recommend that the Buyer file a claim at the Cestmirova 25, Praha 4 store. At the Buyer’s request, Kentino can collect the faulty appliance as part of the claim.
The warranty may and can be claimed also with Kentino in which case the Buyer is to deliver the goods in question, incl. major appliances, to the following address:
Kentino.com – reklamace
14 000 Praha – Czechia
The goods claimed (including all parts and accessories) should be be delivered with the proof of purchase, warranty certificate or similar document, detailed description of the defects and sufficient contact details of the Buyer (shipping address and telephone number) so that the goods can be identified and the defects diagnosed.
We also recommend selecting the mode of settling the claim (repair, replacement or refund).
The warranty is to be claimed with the authorised service centre named in the warranty certificate/proof of purchase located near Kentino or the Buyer.
Kentino or an authorised service will issue the buyer with a written confirmation of when the claim was filed, scope of claim, what solution is requested, immediately after receiving the claim. In the case of filing a claim in person at a branch, the confirmation is handed over immediately in paper form if requested by the customer, in all other cases the confirmation is sent via e-mail. The confirmation serves only as proof of receipt of the claim. The condition of the goods in which the Buyer has handed over these goods to Kentino will be assessed as part of the claims procedure.
The Buyer acknowledges that if the claimed goods are not submitted to Kentino with all parts and accessories pertaining thereto, the Buyer – if withdrawing from the agreement – will be refunded the purchase price less the price of the parts and accessories not submitted.
Compatibility of the purchased parts with other parts not approved by Kentino, manufacturer or goods provider is not guaranteed; nor is the compatibility with software applications whose functions have not been explicitly requested by the Buyer in the written order, unless such compatibility is common to similar goods or unless Kentino explicitly states that the goods in question are (are not) compatible only with the items listed.
The same applies also to software and individual SW versions. If, however, certain SW versions have been declared to be compatible, the same does not automatically apply to the subsequent and/or previous SW versions.
If the protective seal, information sticker or serial number is damaged, the Buyer risks that the claim will be rejected; unless the same have been damaged in the course of ordinary use of the goods in question. The seals and serial number constitute an integral part of the goods and as such do not limit the customer in using and handling the goods within the extent to which the goods have been designated.
The warranty further does not apply to the damage caused by or resulting from the following activities (however, only if such activity is not usual and at the same time is not prohibited in the enclosed instructions for use):
- mechanical damage;
- overvoltage (visibly burnt components or printed circuit boards) with the exemption of common deviations;
- use of goods in conditions (temperature, dust, humidity, chemical and mechanical conditions) other than directly stipulated by Kentino or manufacturer;
- unprofessional installation, use, operation or neglected maintenance;
- PC virus (damaged goods or parts of the goods);
- defects to software with no proof of legal licence; or use of unauthorised software and consumables;
- excessive overuse or use contrary to the terms and conditions stipulated in the relevant documents or contrary to the general practice;
- non-qualified interventions or adjustments of parameters (non-qualified interventions means interference by any person other than the Seller or service authorized by the Seller);
- adjustments made by the customer (painting, bending, etc.);
- incorrect BIOS or firmware upgrade;
- forces of nature or force majeure;
- use of incorrect or defective software; and
- use of incorrect or other than original consumables; however, only if such use is not usual and at the same time not exempted in the enclosed instructions for use.
These limitations do not apply to cases where the characteristics of the goods being in conflict with the above have been explicitly agreed on or stipulated by and between the Buyer and Kentino or declared by Kentino; or to cases where the same can be expected with reference to the advertisement or usual use of the goods.
A warranty arranged with respect to the purchased software applies only to the physical readability of the media (the media cannot be scratched, etc.). The Buyer becomes a legitimate user of a software product and accepts the licence terms and conditions of the software manufacturer once the protective elements (foil, seal, envelope, etc.) are removed or once the digital version is downloaded. This does not apply to the conflict with the purchase agreement (see below).
The claimed goods are tested only for the defects claimed by the Buyer (as claimed in the claims form or enclosed document describing the defects in question). Kentino recommends describing the defects in writing, whether in paper or electronic form.
If the claim is rejected and the Buyer agrees that the goods will be repaired for consideration, the Buyer is charged the amount stipulated in the valid price list of the authorised service centre.
The Buyer acknowledges that the repairs for consideration are not provided for directly by Kentino but rather facilitated by Kentino whereby Kentino only orders the repairs with the authorised service centres or communicates the repairs, transport, etc. with the authorised service centres. Kentino assumes no liability for the repairs made.
Before the goods are repaired, the Buyer is informed about the price, extent and time necessary for the repair. The repair is made within 60 days from the day after the goods are received by Kentino. The goods can be repaired for consideration only if the Buyer so explicitly agrees (resp. only under the executed services agreement) after having received the information stipulated in the preceding sentence.
If the claim is rejected, the Buyer acknowledges that Kentino may and can re-invoice to the Buyer the costs charged by the authorised service centre for diagnosing the defect and shipping the goods back as stipulated in the price list of the authorised service centre in question (applicable to Buyers-entrepreneurs only).
When claiming the warranty or repair of a PC system or backup device, the Buyer is to back up the necessary data accordingly and prevent the same from potential misuse or damage. Kentino assumes no liability for any loss, damage or misuse of data stored in the backup device of a PC system.
The backup device is a device prone to objective defects of a random character. Kentino hereby notifies the Buyer as of this fact and recommends that the user data be systematically backed up and stored on appropriate devices (DVD, Cloud, etc.). The arranged warranty is not affected thereby.
The Buyer acknowledges that – if, as part of the handled claim, the defective backup device is replaced – the original device is not returned.
7. Rejected Goods
a. Dirty Goods
Kentino has a right to refuse to accept the claimed goods if the goods in question and/or parts thereof are dirty or do not comply with the basic sanitary and security requirements for claiming the warranty. Fuel tanks must be submitted empty.
If the goods are protected by a traditional or gesture password or otherwise, the Buyer must cancel this protection when claiming the warranty or disclose the password in the description of the defect claimed; otherwise, Kentino has a right to refuse to accept the claimed goods. The same applies also to BIOS or firmware or access to the storage space of the device in question. Without full access, the device cannot be repaired or its defect diagnosed and the claiming procedure cannot be commenced unless the Buyer meets the duty stipulated herein.
If the device is protected by an active anti-theft service (Apple Find my iPhone, iPod touch, MacBook, Intel anti-theft, etc.), this service must be deactivated by the Buyer before the device is submitted and the warranty claimed; otherwise, Kentino has a right to refuse to accept the claimed goods and the claiming procedure can be commenced only after the Buyer meets the duty stipulated herein.
8. Default Settings, Modification of the Purchased Goods or Services by the Buyer
The Buyer is hereby notified of the need to restore the default settings of the claimed goods (namely the added or replaced operating memories, hard discs and SSD in notebooks and PCs) before claiming the warranty. Kentino assumes no liability for such components, especially if the same are not explicitly stated in the claim.
The original components must be retained so that their warranty (if any) can be claimed in the future and the purchase agreement terminated.
If the Buyer hands over goods that are not in the factory configuration, i.e. that have been modified by the Buyer or at the Buyer’s request, the Buyer acknowledges that the service intervention may result in the devaluation of such modification, without the possibility of replacement. If the goods are modified, the Buyer must keep the original components.
Modifications made by the Buyer are for example:
- a) adding or replacing operating memory, hard drives or SSDs in laptops and computers
- b) application of protective glass to a phone or similar device, application of a skin or sticker to a device, patch on clothing and similar modifications.
9. LCD Displays
Given the amount of LCD panel pixels, the loss of pixels (faults) cannot be prevented with respect to the technology used. Therefore, ISO standard (ISO 13406-2) grouping the monitors into four quality classes with the maximum number of allowed defective pixels or clusters have been set for each class. A cluster is a square of 5×5 pixels. Unless stated otherwise, the goods offered by Kentino are classified as Class 2 goods.
- Type 1 – a hot pixel (always on, white).
- Type 2 – a dead pixel (always off, black).
- Type 3 – a stuck pixel (sub-pixel, always on or always off, other than desired colour)
- Type 1 defective cluster – more than one type 1 or type 2 faults
- Type 2 defective cluster – more than one type 3 faults
Maximum number of faults (per type) per 1 million pixels:
|Class||Type 1 (hot)||Type 2 (dead)||Type 3 (stuck)||Cluster Type 1||Cluster Type 2|
ASICs must be used with accordance with user manual. Proper cooling and airflow must be maintained so that they can sustain high heat emissions. The ASICs must be operated in dust free environment where all dust is filtered like in server rooms TIER 3. They must be connected via electrical surge protection socket that can withstand surges starting at 1KV and form 1ms. The airflow incoming to ASICs can not exceed 23 C what is normal room temperature. Failing to comply these may void warranty. Furthermore ASICs produced from different manufacturers that Kentino as specialized devices whose price is solely dependent on financial market changes that we can not influence there is exception and 14 days returns shall not be applied as in many other electronics products. For ASICs of our Kentino production we provide full 14 days returns warranty.
IV. Handled Claims
1. Buyer – Consumer
The consumer is a private individual acting in a private capacity.
Claims of Buyers-consumers are addressed by Kentino immediately or, if the complex nature of the claim so requires, within a maximum of three business days (excluding the time reasonably necessary to professionally assess the defect with respect to the type of the claimed goods or services).
The claims are handled and the defects are removed by Kentino without undue delay; however, within a maximum of 30 days after the warranty has been claimed. Once the warranty is claimed, the period of 30 days can be extended as per the agreement with the consumer; however, only for a period other than indefinite or unreasonably long. After the period (extended period) expires, the claimed defect is deemed to have indeed existed and the consumer has the same rights as if the defect in question was identified to be other than capable of being removed.
2. Buyer – Entrepreneur
Claims of Buyers-entrepreneurs are resolved by Kentino within a maximum of 40 days after the warranty has been claimed; and the result is emailed to the contact email address of the Buyer-entrepreneur.
V. Common Provisions
The Buyer is issued a written document including information as to the date of the claim, result, repair (if any), duration and reasons (if any) for rejecting the claim.
After the claim has been processed, the Buyer is notified by Kentino as of the result by telephone, text message or email. Goods shipped by a shipping company are automatically shipped backed to the Buyer’s address once the claim has been completely processed.
If the claim is accepted as legitimate and the goods are repaired or replaced, the warranty period is extended for the period of handling the claim; this period this period commences one day after the day the warranty has been claimed and is terminated on the day the Buyer has been informed about the result.
If the claim is accepted as legitimate, the Buyer may and can claim reimbursement of costs reasonably incurred in claiming the warranty; in particular, the Buyer may and can claim the reimbursement of postage. The costs claimed need not necessarily include costs incurred in travelling by car to claim the warranty, express shipping, etc. The reimbursement of costs must be claimed without undue delay; however, within a maximum of one month before the warranty period expires.
Once the claim is handled, the Buyer must collect the goods in question without undue delay and do so at the latest within 30 days after having been informed about the handled claim; this time limit, however, expiring no sooner than 60 days after the warranty has been claimed.
If the time lapses to no effect and the goods in question are not collected, the Buyer is charged a fee of CZK 20 incl. VAT for storing the goods in question; charged by Kentino for each day of delay.
If the goods in question are not collected by the Buyer within 6 months after the Buyer has been informed about the handled claim, Kentino reserves the right to sell the goods in question and offset the proceeds against the outstanding storage fee.
To prevent damage/legitimisation of proceeds of crime (if any), the goods in question can be collected/cash refunds can be made against a document evidencing the claimed warranty and a valid identity document of the Buyer (ID card, passport). Unless the said documents are presented, the goods in question/cash refunds may and can be refused by Kentino or Kentino’s contractual partners to be collected / paid. Goods in question claimed by Buyers-legal entities can only be collected by/cash refunds can be paid to the respective authorised entity or proxy acting under a duly authenticated power of attorney.
VI. Consumables and Minimum Lifetime
Purchased consumables (cartridges, toners, print heads, press cylinders, projector lamps, batteries, illumination, etc.), whether alone or constituting a component of the purchased goods, are subject to a lifetime warranty. The lifetime can be expressed in terms of time, best before date, number of use, number of printed pages, etc. whereby several lifetimes can apply concurrently. The lifetime warranty cannot be claimed unless all of the stipulated terms and conditions are met.
The Buyer’s right to claim the warranty in the warranty period is not affected thereby. In claiming the warranty, however, the Buyer must take the above into account as the warranty does not apply to the ordinary wear and tear caused by common use of the goods and as such cannot be confused with the lifetime of the goods in question. Lifetime represents the tendency of the goods in question to become worn and torn if used in a usual way. If the goods are used (i.e. not owned) for a period exceeding the usual lifetime of the goods in question, the defect is likely to be caused by ordinary wear and tear; however, without prejudice to the warranty defect.
If not marked on the goods offered by Kentino, the lifetime warranty cannot be claimed.
VII. Free Maintenance
Goods with a warranty period exceeding 24 months are subject to free maintenance provided after the lapse of 24 months.
Goods with defects appearing after the lapse of 24 months are accepted by Kentino and:
- repaired; or
- replaced with the same or similar product with better parameters; or
- refunded if none of the above is feasible.
Kentino undertakes to repair/replace the goods or refund the Buyer within a maximum of 35 days after the goods have been accepted by Kentino; otherwise, the Buyer may and can withdraw from the purchase agreement.
Rights to claim the warranty provided by the manufacturer are not affected thereby.
The statutory rights of the Buyer are not affected hereby.
This Complaints Code comes into effect on 15 August 2022, repealing the previous versions.

Describe the visit and/or interview atmosphere.
The questions were very specific and in-depth. They really combed through my entire application. Despite the specificity of the questions, it seems like they had a genuine interest in getting to know me. It did not feel like they were trying to catch me off guard or grill me.
What type of interview (alum vs. adcom, résumé-based vs. application-based) was it?
Adcom, application-based. They had a massive list of personalized questions for me.
What questions were you asked?
- On strategy project X, what were the segment prioritizations and how did you come up with them?
- Explain your business/industry.
- What’s the role of technology in your industry over the coming years?
What did you think of the interview?
I thought it was very well done. It’s impossible to prepare for all of the questions and it seems like that was the point. They want to see you thinking on your feet as opposed to reciting answers. The questions make you present your authentic self.
What surprised you? What didn’t surprise you?
I thought I was going to get grilled, but the environment was very friendly. They just wanted to get to know me.
I was not surprised by the depth and specificity of the questions.
What might you conclude about the school based on this experience?
Personality really matters. They don’t want rehearsed robots. | <urn:uuid:edbdf168-dc4e-4102-9283-3beaf1ec808c> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.clearadmit.com/2022/03/hbs-interview-questions-report-round-2-adcom-zoom/ | 2023-11-29T18:03:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100135.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20231129173017-20231129203017-00754.warc.gz | en | 0.988681 | 317 | [

How to Block an ATM Card: Different Methods Explained
Losing or misplacing an ATM card can be a stressful experience. However, blocking the card can prevent any unauthorized transactions and save you from potential fraud. Here are the different ways you can block an ATM card:
- Block ATM Card via Customer Care
The easiest and most convenient way to block an ATM card is by calling the customer care number printed on the back of the card. The number is usually toll-free and can be dialed from any phone. Keep your ATM card number and account number handy as you will need to provide them to the customer care executive. They will verify your identity and block the card immediately.
- Block ATM Card through the Branch
If you prefer a more personal approach, you can visit the nearest bank branch and request the bank executive to block your ATM card. Make sure you carry your ATM card number and account number along with a valid ID proof. The executive will verify your identity and block the card. They may also issue a new ATM card if required.
- Block ATM Card Online
Many banks offer the option to block an ATM card online through their net banking portal. Log in to your bank account using your net banking credentials and look for the “ATM Card Block” section. Follow the instructions provided by the bank to block your ATM card. Make sure you have your ATM card number and account number handy.
Blocking an ATM card can prevent any unauthorized transactions and keep your account safe. Choose a method that is convenient for you and follow the instructions provided by the bank. If you suspect any fraudulent activity on your account, report it immediately to your bank and get your card hotlisted. | <urn:uuid:115395f6-742f-4026-80be-c85933d19bf3> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.dgmsindia.in/how-to-block-an-atm-card/ | 2023-11-29T19:17:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100135.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20231129173017-20231129203017-00754.warc.gz | en | 0.931244 | 347 | [

Bosses running Staffordshire’s biggest hospital have stressed patient safety and quality of care will not be compromised – despite no longer filling 288 vacant posts.
The ‘vacancy pause’ affects unfilled posts at Royal Stoke University Hospital and Stafford’s County Hospital.
It is one of the latest attempts to save money by the cash-strapped University Hospitals of North Midlands (UHNM) NHS Trust and could save £10.9 million-a-year.
But it has sparked concerns that the move will hit patient care and increase the workloads of already under-pressure staff.
North Staffordshire Healthwatch co-ordinator Ian Syme raised his concerns at this week’s trust board meeting.
He said: “UHNM is rated by the Care Quality Commission as outstanding in its care. An approximately three per cent reduction in whole-time equivalent (WTE) employment is significant for any organisation. It becomes even more significant for an acute hospital organisation.
“UHNM states there will be no redundancies. But 288 WTE positions have now been reviewed as surplus to requirements, thus redundant. The work done by people in these 288 roles will need to be absorbed by what is already an extremely stretched, and at times, an overstretched remaining workforce.
“How will UHNM ensure these workforce reductions will not have a detrimental impact on the quality and safety of care delivered by your hard-working staff to vulnerable patients?”
What the chief executive has said about the hospital jobs in Staffordshire:
Hospital chief executive Paula Clark has warned the trust is ‘spending way too much money’.
She said: “This is an opportunity for us, as vacancies arise, to look at how that role can be done in some other way. It gives us an opportunity for reflection.
“If you look at other trusts we have an additional workforce compared to other organisations who are doing equally well.
“It’s not about putting work onto existing staff – it’s about trying to find different ways of doing things; streamlining and making sure we can be efficient. We are still spending way too much money compared to our peers.”
Chief Nurse Liz Rix added: “We will ensure this doesn’t impact on quality of care. It may change the way we deliver it but it shouldn’t impact on quality. The quality impact assessment process is a robust process.” | <urn:uuid:45f639e9-79ee-4438-90d6-d4353dceaae2> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.staffordshire-live.co.uk/news/local-news/staffordshire-hospitals-cash-crisis-hundreds-2334987 | 2023-11-29T19:03:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100135.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20231129173017-20231129203017-00754.warc.gz | en | 0.952457 | 517 | [

This information includes, but is not limited to:
- Name and address history
- Contact details – telephone numbers & email addresses
- Details of any dependents
- Details of current employment and history
- Details of secured & unsecured debt
- Other essential and non-essential monthly outgoings
- Credit history
- Other assets
How you answer these questions will determine what other questions we ask you because all lenders have different eligibility and affordability criteria. We will explain this process fully and ensure you understand why certain types of information may be relevant.
If you are providing information about another person, the other person must know that you are doing this and are content with their information being provided to us.
If a mortgage or insurance product is applied for through us, we will collect your direct debit details to pass on to your lender. In addition, some products recommended may include an upfront cost, such as a valuation fee, so we may ask for your payment information.
Mortgage lenders are data controllers in their own right and have their own privacy notices. However, lenders may automatically profile your information against their lending criteria and Credit Reference Agencies as soon as your information is forwarded to them, so this may affect your credit score. We will always bring this to your attention as part of the process. We will also make you aware in advance when lenders are likely to collect any fees from your accounts.
When arranging insurance for our customers, we will also collect ‘sensitive’ information about health and lifestyle as this is required by the insurance providers and allows us to ensure the right recommendations are made before an application.
If you are an existing customer of Mortgage & Money Management, we may use the information we already hold to research a new product, and we will always check that these details are accurate and up to date for any any application is submitted.

You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
- Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
Keeping Your Data Secure
We understand the importance of keeping your personal information secure. We use a variety of technologies and procedures to protect your private data from being accessed, used or disclosed in any way it shouldn’t be.

To ensure that we are able to meet our legal, regulatory and customer obligations, we will retain client information for the following time periods:
- If you become a client of a lender/insurer as a result of the advice we provide to you, we will keep a full record of your interactions to enable us to meet our regulatory obligations, to evidence we gave suitable advice and to enable us to answer any complaints that may arise as a result of our advice.

- If, as a result of our advice, you make an application to a lender/insurer but do not ultimately become a client, we will keep a full record of your interactions with us for at least 6-years to meet our obligations under UK Money Laundering regulations.

ON THE last Sunday of May, at the end of a month of study in Jerusalem, I took the tram and bus out to the village of Ein Karem, on the edge of the city. Readers who have been on pilgrimage to the Holy Land may be familiar with the churches marking the places where John the Baptist was born, and where Mary visited Elizabeth. I, too, first came on pilgrimage 23 years ago, and my memories of the pretty village, with its shops and cafés lining the road as it winds down into the valley, were fairly accurate.
Between the two pilgrimage sites, the road passes Mary’s spring, where water from an aqueduct emerges under a mosque. The mosque is closed up and abandoned, as it has been since the formerly Arab village became a Jewish one after the 1948 war. There is a certain sadness about it.
I stopped to say evening prayer in the Church of the Visitation, where the Magnificat was first proclaimed. It seemed appropriate; but the sadness persisted in these local churches, too. They are well cared for by the Franciscans, and there are a few other monasteries around the valley, but there is an emptiness here. The Christian population of the village left, with their Muslim neighbours, 75 years ago. What remains is kept going for the sake of the pilgrims. One might dare to ask: Why?
IT WAS not like that in St George’s Cathedral, on Pentecost morning. The cathedral was filled with Palestinian clergy and lay people, from the Anglican parishes of Israel and Palestine, who had come to share with the Archbishop in Jerusalem, Dr Hosam Naoum, in the celebration of Pentecost. The pilgrims and study groups were significantly outnumbered, both in the service and afterwards at lunch in the playground of St George’s School. A scratch choir of expats sang, and an Arab choir stole the show with their communion songs. There was a divine disorder that would have terrified the precentor in an English cathedral.
I do not suppose that every month at St George’s is quite like this one. In the pilgrim hostel, groups have come and gone as usual. In St George’s College, there have been a couple of study pilgrimages, and the Bishop of Southwark brought 30 of his curates. We gathered to watch Dr Hosam participating in the Coronation in Westminster Abbey, and then celebrated the new reign in the cathedral.
The following weekend, the Provincial Synod met, and Dr Hosam took up the reins as Presiding Bishop and Primate. There were never fewer than three archbishops present on the Sundays when I attended the cathedral. In other weeks, I had the joy of worshipping with the congregation at St Andrew’s, Ramallah — a church subjected last year to a raid by the Israel Defence Forces.
TOWARDS the end of the month, a group of us went to see the locking of the doors at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. It was the eve of shabbat, and the streets were crowded as we entered the Old City. The crowds thinned out as the road to the Holy Sepulchre split off from the road to the Western Wall.
Inside the church, despite its being famed for disputes between the various denominations, monks in varied vesture appeared and greeted each other: “Abuna, Kiifak?” (“Father, how are you?”) Because of those ancient disputes, the keys to the church have long been held by a Muslim family; the man locking up wished us all a cheerful “Goodnight!”
The next afternoon — the eve of Pentecost — a group of lay people and cassocked clergy made their way through the shopping streets from St George’s to St Mark’s Syriac Church. This is an alternative site of the Upper Room, to which pilgrims are seldom taken, although it is a good five centuries older than the Crusader church outside the walls that is on the regular pilgrim itinerary.
Archbishop Mor Anthimos Jack Yakoub, installed earlier in the month as Patriarchal Vicar of the Syriac Orthodox Church in the Holy Land, had invited Dr Hosam to celebrate the eucharist in the place where it all began: where bread and wine were first shared, and where the Holy Spirit came to fill Christ’s followers and send them out to share the good news. That invitation is extended to others, too.
There was something profound in seeing worshippers who can trace their roots back to those first believers, gathered together where it all began, and worshipping in the Arabic and Aramaic that are still being used in worship there, as they were 2000 years ago.
IT IS all too easy for visitors to the Holy Land to see only sites that are empty apart from their custodians and the flocks of pilgrims. Alongside this, there is the story of conflict — which is getting worse, this year; and there are too many stories of Christians’ leaving to live elsewhere. (While we kept Ascension Day, Israeli extremists were engaged in a triumphalist march to mark the anniversary of the 1967 capture of East Jerusalem.)
But there is another story — of the living stones, faithfully worshipping, praying, and caring for those around them: a story of Christians working together, and embracing each other, as two archbishops did, on the eve of Pentecost, in the Upper Room where it all began.

“We genuinely believe that we have been in sector on our very own,” Bowman claims, in a cellar boardroom during the business’s head office in a grand household on the side of Regent’s Park in main London, its white stucco gleaming when you look at the springtime sunlight. Among lots of prizes on display is certainly one Wonga.com that is naming as 12 months’s fastest-growing electronic news business in Europe. “We see ourselves being a technology that is internet first, and a finance company 2nd,” Bowman states.
Staff state 1 million individuals look at the web web web site and “hundreds of thousands” of loans are designed every month. The business’s turnover trebled between 2009 and 2010, to ВЈ73m turnover, and Errol Damelin, the co-founder and executive that is chief of, is reported to own taken house ВЈ1.6m this past year.
“the key reason why we decrease them is that individuals certainly are a accountable loan provider so we generate income when individuals spend us back. We wish individuals to spend us straight back. Our model is not built around individuals perhaps maybe maybe not having to pay us right straight back. Our goal and our need certainly to perfectly be responsible are aligned,” Bowman states.
The organization claims it generally does not do aggressive marketing and discourages folks from rolling over their loans. The expression “responsible financing” trips off Bowman’s tongue over and over repeatedly. ” whenever individuals started to our internet site they will have all the details presented for them in a really clear, upfront means, plus they https://www.signaturetitleloans.com/title-loans-me/ are in a position to make a sensible choice about whether the product is suitable for them. We charge 1% interest per time, which can be ВЈ1 per ВЈ100 lent. You what you will get into, there’s no terms and conditions, no shocks. with us we tell”
We just really get towards a response in a roundabout way, as he says he opposes the thought of fixing a limit from the quantity of interest organizations may charge, since it would risk placing “responsible, regulated” organisations like their away from company, making the marketplace ready to accept unlawful loan providers. “that which we do not desire is for visitors to need certainly to visit lenders that are non-regulated illegal other choices,” he claims. Here, when it comes to first time is half an admission that this might be a site for those who have nowhere else to get.
Expected if there is a distressing dissonance between the breeziness associated with brand name and the desperation thought by their customers whom accept their high interest levels since they have restricted alternatives, Bowman laughs. “Maybe i am brainwashed, but i simply don’t view it like this.”
Staff look frustrated in what they see due to the fact paternalistic issues of financial obligation campaigners, and argue that their clients “aren’t stupid”, and are usually quite in a position to realize the rates of interest they are signing as much as.
Stella Creasy, MP for Walthamstow, north-east London, who has got installed a robust campaign resistant to the payday financing industry, claims she thinks, on such basis as conversations with Wonga’s administration, it is dealing with that it is trying to be responsible, in good faith, but somehow hasn’t understood the fundamental nature of the market.
“The blunder these are typically making is always to assume that individuals, whenever confronted with a economic penalty, have the choice to prevent it. Inside their head the option is had by them of selecting to not ever expand that loan, if they begin to see the expenses. Whatever they do not understand is they’ve been coping with a clientele would youn’t have that option.” she states.
“they should reconsider that thought concerning the proven fact that it’s the technology that individuals are drawn to, as opposed to the credit. It is really not of a future type of finance. The technology must not blind one to the prices these individuals are charged and also the effect who has on people’s monetary security. when they’ve repaid the and costs, their cash runs out even faster,” she claims. | <urn:uuid:47efbe99-908f-40b4-aec1-a9b21af55c1a> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | http://tentbousui.stressfreelance.com/2021/02/19/wonga-s-staff-are-keen-to-put-its-solution-as-more-2/ | 2023-12-05T22:15:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100568.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20231205204654-20231205234654-00254.warc.gz | en | 0.969767 | 939 | [

What the fuck did you tell him, kid?
I don't want no charity.
Look, all I told him was the truth, Bruno, okay?
听着 布鲁诺 我告诉他的一切都是实话好吗
That I got a call from a guy
who said he was coming in here with a falafel shop,
and would I contract the rebuild.
And when I asked you about it,
you said that you were getting squeezed by a new landlord.
And when I got that call, I made a couple calls of my own.
Falafel shop goes in the mall.
We lock in you in on a 20-year lease,
and I cover the overage.
I-I-I don't know, Bobby.
我 我 我不明白 波比
Come on. What is there to know?
You let me slide for weeks without paying
when I was coming in here every day after school.
That was just 'cause you were a good customer.
Which I want to keep being.
Thank you. Thank you.
I'd love to tell you I knew you'd grow up
to become what you did,
but to be honest, I had no idea.
That makes two of us. | <urn:uuid:2d577824-2e91-4772-92bd-dab9eddd3d9f> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://learnsubs.com/sub/nmuB5QMe2 | 2023-12-05T20:53:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100568.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20231205204654-20231205234654-00254.warc.gz | en | 0.729814 | 1,065 | [

After 28 years Koch Media (often pronounced ‘kotch’ or ‘kosh, sometimes ‘kock’) has a new name, Plaion (pronounced ‘play on’). The announcement was made alongside the unveiling of a new logo, intended to represent the fact that the company has long moved away from its origins as a software distributor, to being a global entertainment company that, as part of the Embracer Group, is deeply involved not only in games and film, but with the recent acquisition of DPI, pop culture merchandising.
Revealing the new corporate identity, co-founder and CEO Klemens Kundratitz says that the rebranding process has taken nine months, and that the time was now right, ahead of gamescom and the release of Saints Row (“our most ambitious game”), to get the Plaion name in front of people to see what they made of it. “We are doing what some people may think is overdue or maybe unnecessary, but we feel it’s for us it’s the right moment. Not only externally, but also internally. It’s good for our people to see that the company is opening this new chapter, that we don’t stand still.”
Kundratitz admits that it will take some time for Plaion to become established in the minds of its partners and customers, but that it’s a name that is more representative and inclusive. “We want to build that new brand now, standing for great entertainment, unique experiences, good customer relations and good B2B partner relations. We have lots to do. There’s always a risk with everything but hey, we’re up for it!” | <urn:uuid:de8409ea-0cce-4e7f-a88b-5f2d2dd02090> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://mcvuk.com/business-news/ahead-of-its-most-ambitious-game-koch-media-has-a-new-name/ | 2023-12-05T21:33:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100568.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20231205204654-20231205234654-00254.warc.gz | en | 0.96878 | 372 | [

Kemi Olaitan in Ibadan
The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun, yesterday praised the acting Inspector General of Police (IG), Kayode Egbetokun, for his resolve on community policing which he described as the only sure way out of the nation’s security challenges.
The monarch gave this commendation during the visit of the IG to him in his Alarere residence where four members of the Olubadan Advisory Council namely Balogun of Ibadanland, Ashipa Balogun, Ekerin Olubadan and Ekerin Balogun, Obas Owolabi Olakulehin, Kolawole Adegbola, Hamidu Ajibade and Dada Isioye respectively and three of the Mogajis, Asimiyu Adepoju (Ariori), Isiaka Raji (Elegbaaowo) and Kayode Ogunsola (Anisere), joined him to receive the august visitor. Speaking on behalf Oba Balogun, the ‘Baba Kekere’, Senator Kola Balogun, acknowledged the initiative of the new Nigeria Police boss to pursue the community policing strategy effectively through deployment of technology and motivation of the officers and men of the force by way of training and attention to their welfare.
The Olubadan in a statement by his Personal Assistant (Media), Oladele Ogunsola, said Egbetokun is a round peg in a round hole, stating that he “is the most perfect fit for the job at this period in the history of the country. Our IG is Enitan, he is a manifestation of abundance grace and mercy in view of what he has passed through in the force.”
“You actually paid your dues. You cheated death on occasions, on two different occasions, you were denied your well deserved promotion to the position of Commissioner of Police, but, through the grace of God, you eventually reached the pinnacle of your career. That same grace will sustain and grant you huge success on this exalted seat,” the monarch added.
He also disclosed that the way and manner the new Police command helmsman in Oyo State, Adebola Hamzat, set about his job on assumption of duty in the state some weeks ago showed his commitment to the new vision of community policing of the country.
He said:”We have seen in him a competent and somebody who is interested in community policing. He has met with virtually all the critical stakeholders to share with them the new vision and that’s what’s expected of a newcomer that worth his salt.
“Oyo State is relatively peaceful, though, we have some pockets of security challenges, but, the CP has shown the capacity and capability to contain them since his arrival here for which we are very much grateful. The palace, I mean myself and my members of the Advisory Council, Mogajis and Baales will not relent in giving the Command all the necessary and needed cooperation and support to achieve the set-goal of securing the lives and property of our people.”
The IG in his remarks, said his visit to the palace, was to appreciate and thank the monarch for the support and cooperation the Oyo State Command enjoys and pleaded for the continuation of the good gesture, noting that the new vision of the Nigeria Police of community policing even demands for more from the traditional institution as the closest authority to the people.
He added that Oyo State is very strategic when the issue of security is concerned because of its location and antecedents and the topmost hierarchy of the Force always engages in thorough search for the officer to be assigned as the helmsman of the Command in the state.
“We are always conscious of who to post here as the CP and we don’t just send anybody here, we look out for who can give effective policing to the state and we appreciate our father, the Olubadan and his Council for the maximum support you have been giving us,” he said.
The IG further explained that the new vision of the Force would be service driven, compliance with the rule of law, people friendly, adequate response to crime occurrence, to improve community re and take the Force to the next level.
“To drive this vision, the roles of traditional rulers cannot be overemphasized and here I come to solicit for Your Majesty’s understanding and support.
“Your Majesty, your roles are very critical to our new vision. Our officers will work closely with you, they will be coming to you from time to time for advice and information as the case may be. I implore Your Majesty to leave your doors open to them and together, with your cooperation and support, we will achieve our set objectives and goals of securing and protecting our dear country, Nigeria”, the IG further stated. | <urn:uuid:b33afc58-5e51-48a9-85ab-db4775bcb615> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2023/08/23/olubadan-hails-igs-resolve-on-community-policing | 2023-12-07T03:44:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100632.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20231207022257-20231207052257-00154.warc.gz | en | 0.965342 | 1,014 | [

We are in the midst of a battle for our attention. Our devices have hijacked our brains and destroyed our collective ability to concentrate – to the extent that we’re even seeing the emergence of a “goldfish generation”. That, at least, is the story that’s increasingly being told. But should we be paying attention to it?
Journalist Johann Hari’s new book, Stolen Focus, has just joined a chorus of voices lamenting the attention crisis of the digital age. His and other recent books reflect, and perhaps fuel, a public perception that our focus is under attack.
Faced with the kinds of findings that arose from our research, it is easy to be nostalgic about a past that existed before the digital revolution. But new technologies have been blamed for causing crises of distraction long before the digital age, so how should we respond to the current challenges?
An attention crisis?
We surveyed a nationally representative sample of 2,093 UK adults in September 2021, asking about their perceptions of their attention spans, their beliefs in various claims about our ability to focus, and how they use technology today.
Half of those surveyed felt their attention spans were shorter than they used to be, compared with a quarter who didn’t. And three-quarters of participants agreed we’re living through a time where there’s non-stop competition for our attention from a variety of media channels and information outlets.
The distraction caused by mobile phones in particular appeared to be a real issue. Half of those surveyed admitted they couldn’t stop checking their phones when they should be focusing on other things – and this wasn’t just an issue for the young. Despite the generational stereotypes of teenagers glued to their screens, a majority of middle-aged people said they struggle with this too.
And although many recognised that they spent a lot of time on their phones, they still hugely underestimated just how much. The public’s average guess was that they checked their phones 25 times a day but according to previous research, the reality is more likely somewhere between 49 and 80 times a day.
There has long been a worry about the threat to attention brought by new cultural forms, whether that’s social media or the cheap paperback sensation novels of the 19th century. Even as far back as ancient Greece, Socrates lamented that the written word creates “forgetfulness in our souls”“. There has always been a tendency to fear the effects new media and technologies will have on our minds.
The reality is we simply don’t have the long-term studies that tell us whether our collective attention span has actually shrunk. What we do know from our study is that people overestimate some of the problems. For example, half of those surveyed wrongly believed the thoroughly debunked claim that the average attention span among adults today is just eight seconds, supposedly worse than that of a goldfish. There’s not really any such thing as an average attention span. Our ability to focus varies hugely depending on the individual and the task at hand.
It’s also important to not overlook the many benefits that technology brings to how we live. Much of the public surveyed recognised these, so while half thought big tech and social media were ruining young people’s attention spans, roughly another half felt that being easily distracted was more to do with people’s personalities than any negative influence that technology may or may not have.
That aside, is "dispersed” attention always a bad thing?
Two-thirds of the public in our study believed switching focus between different media and devices harms our ability to complete simple tasks – a belief confirmed by psychological studies. Intriguingly, half of the public also believed multi-tasking at work, switching frequently between email, phone calls, or other tasks, can create a more efficient and satisfactory work experience.
So what if we explore the benefits of distraction as well as the negative impacts? Might we find a more balanced picture in which distraction is not always in and of itself a bad thing, but a problem in certain contexts and productive in others? In other words, what if those lamenting a crisis in attention are not wrong, but only represent part of the picture?
For all the challenges we experience in having our attention toggle between tasks, in some scenarios, this might help refresh the mind, keep us alert, and stimulate brain connections and creativity. Unified attention may be an ideal, but it may not always be a realistic good for the type of animal that we humans are.
We hear about the benefits for the body of “exercise snacking” or circuit training, so perhaps we need to ask how we might harness the potential benefits for the mind of “attention snacking”. The brain is, after all, a physical organ.
There is no question that we need to figure out how to live better with the “attention economy”, and that the monetisation of our attention is challenging us in fundamental ways. However, our electronic gadgets are not going away and we need to learn how to harness them (and the distractions they pose) for individual and social good.
Our attention has always been the only real currency we have, and for that reason, it has always been fought over; this is not a new problem, but in the digital age it is taking new forms. We need a better response to this situation – one that understands the risks but is also bolder in asking questions about the opportunities. | <urn:uuid:269678bd-752e-456e-badc-5560b9c8b789> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://theconversation.com/there-are-challenges-but-also-potential-benefits-of-digital-distractions-177296 | 2023-12-08T10:43:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100739.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20231208081124-20231208111124-00054.warc.gz | en | 0.959992 | 1,136 | [

TASHKENT -- Uzbekistan's former interior minister has been detained, according to two law enforcement officials in the Central Asian state, though it remains unclear on what charges.
Adham Ahmadboev, who served as Uzbekistan's interior minister for three years before he was dismissed by President Shavkat Mirziyoev in January 2017, was detained by security officers on January 26, according to a current official with the ministry who said he was among the group of officers that detained Ahmadboev.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity, saying he was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
Ahmadboev, 52, "was detained and placed into the Interior Ministry's detention center on the order of the interior minister and prosecutor-general," the official told RFE/RL.
The former minister was taken in handcuffs from his apartment in Tashkent's Beshagach district, the official said.
A source in the Prosecutor-General's Office confirmed to RFE/RL that Ahmadboev was currently in custody.
In a December 22 address to parliament, Mirziyoev called Ahmadboev "a traitor."
"I could not accept the fact while being Uzbekistan's minister, he became a traitor and joined one group," Mirziyoev said without elaborating.
Mirzoyev fired Ahmadboev from his ministerial post and appointed him a presidential adviser in early January 2017, a month after he was elected president following the death of longtime authoritarian President Islam Karimov.
Three months later, Ahmadboev was removed from the presidential adviser's post and became an instructor at the Interior Ministry's academy in Tashkent.
In late December, reports said that Ahmadboev had retired, while one of his close associates told RFE/RL that he was stripped of all his ranks and placed under house arrest.
Ahmadboev was appointed interior minister by Karimov in December 2013, and less than a year later he was given the rank of lieutenant general. | <urn:uuid:0a0f9172-308a-40e2-bd67-4eadba688b2b> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.rferl.org/a/uzbekistan-former-interior-minister-said-arrested/29005302.html | 2023-12-09T12:16:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100909.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20231209103523-20231209133523-00854.warc.gz | en | 0.989978 | 416 | [

The ApeosPrint C5570 is compliant with the U.S. security standard NIST SP 800-171 and adopts a new protocol, WPA3, for stronger security of wireless LANs and enhancement of program diagnostics during device startup. The printer is also installed with a security chip, TPM (Trusted Platform Module) 2.0, that complies with the latest encryption standards developed by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG), an international standards organization. Fujifilm says the printer is built to provide users with optimal secure network connection and prevention of data leakage.
Users can also print from virtually anywhere with the printer’s support for Universal Print by Microsoft, a cloud-based print solution that eliminates the need for print servers and the need to install print drivers. Data transmission also uses highly secured HTTPs protocol, and documents stored on the devices are limited to individual user logins.
Print speed is rated at up to 55 ppm at 1,200 x 2,400 dpi resolution.
Optional Document Sources and Document Finishing
For high-volume printing, there’s the newly introduced high-capacity paper feeder, the B2, which supports up to 6,140 sheets. The ApeosPrint C5570 also supports a wide variety of paper sizes and types, such as long paper of up to 320 x 1200mm for In-house promotional materials, and paper weight of 52 to 300 gsm, as well as lightweight media, cardstock, postcards, and envelopes.
The optional staple-free finisher can bind up to 10 sheets. For usability, there’s a 5″ color touchscreen, and paper trays are equipped with a retraction mechanism for smoother opening and closing.

Mac OS X: NexTab is a handy utility that lives in your menubar and adds some really nice functionality to your trackpad. If you're in any tabbed browsing application, whether it's a web browser or not, you can move left and right through tabs with just a tap. Once you open the application you're all set. You just place on finger on the trackpad and tap with a finger on the right or left side of it. When you tap, nexTab will switch to the tab on the side you tapped. For example, if you placed your middle finger on the trackpad and then tapped with your pointer, you'd move one tab to the right.
While it's easy enough to cycle through tabs with keyboard shortcuts, when you're using the trackpad for scrolling or anything else it can be really nice to be able to do the same thing without too much movement. Although not necessary, it's an elegant little time and effort saver that makes browsing a bit easier.

When search warrant may be issued
A search warrant is typically issued by a judge or magistrate and grants law enforcement officials the legal authority to conduct a search of a specific location or seize specific items. The issuance of a search warrant is subject to certain legal requirements and conditions. Here are some common situations in which a search warrant may be issued:
- Probable Cause: A search warrant may be issued if there is probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed or that evidence of a crime can be found in a particular location. Probable cause means that there is a reasonable basis to believe that a search will uncover evidence related to criminal activity.
- Specificity: A search warrant must specify the exact location to be searched and the items or evidence to be seized. It should provide enough detail to guide the searching officers and prevent a general exploratory search.
- Neutral and Detached Magistrate: A search warrant must be issued by a neutral and detached magistrate, usually a judge, who reviews the evidence presented by law enforcement to determine if probable cause exists. The magistrate should not have a personal interest or bias in the outcome of the search.
- Exigent Circumstances: In certain urgent situations, such as when there is a risk of imminent danger, destruction of evidence, or a threat to public safety, law enforcement may conduct a search without a warrant. These are known as exigent circumstances. However, the legality of such searches may be subject to later review by a court.
- Consent: If a person voluntarily gives consent to a search of their property, law enforcement may proceed without a search warrant. It’s important to note that consent should be freely given and not the result of coercion or duress.
- Automobile Searches: Automobiles are subject to different rules regarding search warrants. In some cases, if law enforcement has probable cause to believe that contraband or evidence of a crime is present in a vehicle, they may conduct a warrantless search. However, the scope of the search is typically limited to areas where the suspected items could reasonably be located.
It’s worth mentioning that the specific laws and procedures surrounding search warrants may vary across jurisdictions, so it’s essential to consult the laws applicable in your particular jurisdiction for accurate information.Tags: does a search warrant need to be signed?, marijuana search warrant, search warrant, search warrant & personal property to be seized, search warrant 2021, search warrant crpc 94, search warrant crpc in hindi, search warrant house, search warrant in, search warrant kya hota hai, search warrant laws, search warrant served, search warrant tv licence, search warrant video, search warrants, search without warrant, warrant, warrant search, what is a search warrant, When search warrant may be issued | <urn:uuid:2faed6fb-ad19-4c5b-a6f5-dc15b4a17874> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://abdulrehmanfoundation.com/when-search-warrant-may-be-issued/ | 2023-12-11T22:58:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679518883.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20231211210408-20231212000408-00654.warc.gz | en | 0.923991 | 567 | [

Selling a house can be tough. It can be even tougher if you're forced to sell your house for financial reasons, and don't have much money to make pre-sale fixes or upgrades.
Ashley Richardson, an agent affiliated with the Council of Residential Specialists, tells the true story of one client, a 53-year-old single mother of a grown son who had to sell her small cottage in a neighborhood with much fancier homes. Given her modest salary, the woman, a floral designer, needed the proceeds for her retirement account.
But while the house was being shown to prospects, the floral designer, who lacked funds for home improvement, was so hurt by buyers' critiques that she almost took the place off the market. For example, they complained about her outdated kitchen decor and the rundown condition of her swimming pool.
This points to a common problem confronted by many sellers -- whether female or male, single or married -- who must sell against their will. Their intense emotional responses have the potential to torpedo a sale.
"Selling a house can be an emotional roller coaster. But you have to manage those feelings and face facts or you'll only end up hurting yourself," says Sid Davis, a real estate broker and author of "A Survival Guide to Selling a Home."
Here are a few pointers for sellers:
-- Seek out a sympathetic listing agent.
Ronald Phipps, a real estate broker and past president of the National Association of Realtors, says that for home sellers, "feeling frustrated and angry is very common." However, he says it's better to acknowledge your reactions than to deny they exist.
By choosing a listing agent with a compassionate side, you're more likely to find a healthy acknowledgement of your feelings, which can help you move forward.
-- Rely on objective opinions on your home's value.
As they approach a sale, many homeowners start collecting advice from friends and neighbors. But as Phipps says, these opinions are often based on unreliable reports and erroneous information.
"Anecdotal information can be very, very dangerous. Especially when you're feeling emotional about selling, you need accurate information to make sound decisions," he says.
He also recommends that home sellers avoid "automated evaluations" of a property's worth to reach conclusions on how to price. Such valuations typically come from Internet sources, including Zillow. Though such information can be helpful as a general guide, it's hardly the perfect tool for deciding how much to ask.
Before choosing a listing agent, Phipps urges sellers to contact at least two, preferably three, experienced agents who have an established track record selling homes in their immediate neighborhood. Ask each to provide a recommendation on your list price, known as a "comparative market analysis," and to present factual data on recent market sales to back this up.
With facts and the views of veteran agents in your area, Phipps says, you stand a better chance of resisting the kind of emotional thinking that could cause you to overprice your property, which can badly hurt your sale.
-- Avoid taking your listing agent's suggestions for changes personally.
Phipps has the interior walls of his home painted in vivid colors: eggplant, roasted tomato and broccoli. But if he were to put his property on the market, he'd immediately repaint his walls in neutral colors.
"By calming your decorating, you'll appeal to many more buyers," he says.
A strong real estate agent will be candid with you about all the changes needed to maximize your sale. Unfortunately, many involuntary sellers may take their agent's comments as insulting, Phipps says.
He urges sellers to take a serious look at the checklist given them by their listing agent and to follow as many of the suggestions as they can afford, including any repair needed to make the home fully functional.
-- Keep an open mind on low offers.
Davis says that unless you've got multiple stronger offers in hand, it's usually a mistake to reject a bid that comes in somewhat low.
"Frankly, many sellers expect you to counter their bid and nowadays will often pay more if you do. So unless a bid is ridiculous, I'd try to work with it," Davis says.
He says it was an emotional reaction that led him to rebuff three low bids on a ranch-style house that he attempted to sell some years back.
"Before I found an agent who could talk sense into me, I rejected some fairly decent offers by writing "NO" in big bold letters across the contracts. That was a mistake. Probably, I could have brought up at least one or two of them if I'd kept on negotiating," Davis says.
People who must sell against their will sometimes view buyers very unfavorably. But Davis tells sellers to remember that buyers have their own angst about how much to offer in an always-changing real estate market.
Those on both sides of the table are nervous.
"Even with guidance from an expert listing agent, sellers can be confused about how to respond to an offer that comes in low. And vulnerable sellers, including single moms selling involuntarily, can be especially insulted by a lowball offer," Davis says.

Scarlett challenges Frankie Quinn for the KPW Women’s Championship as part of a double main event line-up at Maniacs United Retribution tonight.
Quinn and Scarlett have battled back and forth over the title for much of 2015, including a two-out-of-three falls match at Roads End in April where Quinn retained her title thanks to a sneak attack on Scarlett at the start of the bout.
After the loss, Scarlett challenged Quinn to a no disqualification Street Fight at Retribution.
The challenger has expressed some second thoughts on Twitter.
“OK now I’m getting nervous for Saturday night,” Scarlett tweeted. “A street fight seemed like a good idea when I was angry and full of adrenaline…”
Regardless of Scarlett’s state of mind, Quinn will put her title on the line tonight in a bout with no rules, allowing her to blindside Scarlett with the KPW Women’s Championship as much as she likes.
Conversely, Scarlett will be able to batter Quinn with anything she can get her hands on in her quest to become a two-time women’s champion.
In the other half of the double main event, Kingston Eclipse faces his toughest challenge to date when he defends the Jackson Shield against Ben Mana.
Eclipse has emerged as Maniacs United’s franchise player and redefined what the Jackson Shield means in the New Zealand wrestling landscape.
His reign has never been in greater jeopardy than it is tonight though, with former NZWPW and SCW Champion Ben Mana standing across the ring from The Native One.
“May 16th,” Mana wrote, “the day Kingston Eclipse’s title reign comes to an end at the hands of the Man, the Myth, the Mana!”
Maniacs United Retribution takes place tonight, May 16, at Rutherford Primary School in Auckland. The card, subject to change, is listed below.
Maniacs United Retribution Card:
- Jackson Shield:
Kingston Eclipse (c) vs. Ben Mana
- KPW Women’s Championship, Street Fight:

Central Plaza Hotel PCL (SET:CENTEL) Senior Vice President of Finance, Khun Ronnachit Mahattanapreut discusses the company’s strategy and outlook in The Executive Talk (TET) by ShareInvestor.com.
TET: Given the challenging environment of 2018, how was CENTEL’s performance?
CENTEL: Our group has two businesses, the hotel and the food business. Within the hotel business, we own 17 hotels and manage 22 hotels for a total of 39 hotels. For the Food business, we have 11 brands, 5 of which are Japanese with 956 outlets as of the end of 2018 and we plan to be above 1,000 outlets in 2019.
During challenging events such as the statement of emergency in the Maldives during the first quarter of 2018, the hotels in the Maldives suffered however because within the hotel portfolio we have assets in Thailand which performed very well to offset this until July 2018. When there was the accident in Phuket and Chinese tourists visits to Thailand declined from July to November 2018, the Thai hotel portfolio did weaken and this weakness in the tourism market continued until the Thai Government announced the incentive scheme to waive the visa on arrival.
The recovery came after three months due to the nature of Asian tourists. Thus, the second half of 2018 was indeed challenging plus globally there was the issues between the US and China impacted global growth however our marketing team was very proactive during this period.
We refocused our attention on the Indian, Australia, ASEAN, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong markets to attract customers to our hotels and this is why we did not decline as our peers had and the hotel group achieved a new record for profits and revenues. Last year the hotel group occupancy rate, excluding two new hotels, maintained at 83% the same as in 2017 and the overall REVPAR was change -0.1% year on year. A success point was the MICE market which allowed Centara Grand Centralworld to achieve a record high since its opening in 2007.
For the Food business, like the hotel business, there was uncertainty in 2018 as a result of the confusion regarding the election date and the discontinuation of the tax incentive at the end of the year which had been in place in previous years. This resulted in Same Store Sales Growth (SSSG) at only +0.1% but an improvement from 2017 where it was -0.9%.
Within the Food business we had interesting developments such as with KFC where a new marketing team was working on menus during the first half of 2018 creating new and innovative menus to attract customers and from July onwards the SSSG been continuously positive. Also, with Mister Donut there was a change regarding trans-fats and even though we announced from August 2018 onwards there were no items with trans-fats, the news and the competition within the industry led to a weaker performance. But when looking at the food business as a whole the total systems sales growth was better than the hotel with +9.2% revenue growth, while profit was +5.7% growth.
TET: CENTEL has expanded impressively over the past decade, how does management effectively and/or efficiently manage its hotels and F&B’s?
CENTEL: The development of CENTEL as a business did not happen in one day, this was a process over the past two decades. With the first hotel at Ladprao, we had international hotel chain’s managing our properties we learned and understood the requirements, processes to manage a hotel group and when we listed on the Stock Exchange we were able to utilize the capital to continue expanding further. We have to complement our Chairman K. Suthikiati as he was able to draw the best talents and combine the cultures of both the East and the West combining the service-minded culture with the systems-based culture.
Furthermore, we received investment support from the IFC who were looking to develop the second tier and provide income to the domestic populations, and they assisted in financing two projects in Thailand as well as became a 10% shareholder in CENTEL.
Thus, with these two initial steps of the management and the financing, we continued to expand until today where we have 17 hotels with THB 20 billion in assets, achieving a record profit of over THB 2 billion in 2018.
To efficiently manage this, we have to be aware that there are constant disruptions for both businesses and that management has to remain flexible and trust in the ability of all our team members executing. For example, during the SARS crisis, the political protest periods, occupancies in our hotels dropped to 30% then 10% some days it only had 10 rooms and in order to be diversified, we expanded into management contracts where we now have 22 hotels and by 2022 we target other 24 hotels in the pipeline. Another example of disruption is technology, we have opened our own digital marketing department focused purely on the online business which has now grown from 0% to 9% of revenue for the hotel group and we set our KPI for double-digit growth from our own websites.
Finally, we launched a loyalty program, C1, which combines with Central Card’s T1 which has more than 10 million members who may utilize their points between the hotels and shopping malls.
TET: The CAPEX guidance for 2019 to 2021 are 4x the CAPEX of 2018, what are the plans and why the decision to expand heavily in the coming 3 years?
CENTEL: In the past we launched the Centara Grand Centralworld, Centara Mirage Pattaya and Centara Phuket Beach Resort, these three properties cost THB 10 billion, and we did not increase capital, therefore, there was no dilution to shareholders, and once we have seen the success of these projects combined with a balance sheet that is effectively debt free presented us with the opportunity to expand. Our philosophy is quite conservative and less aggressive than our peers but when we execute a project, we have a high probability of success.
Now we are planning to invest THB 26 billion over three years which includes renovation and enhancements for the hotels, major renovations of three hotels specifically Centara Grand Central World, Centara Grand Samui, and Centara Grand Hua Hin, and investments and expansion of new hotels, food brands, and food outlet expansions. When we look at our existing hotel portfolio, the net contribution from Bangkok is 30%, outside of Bangkok 50% and 20% overseas, specifically the Maldives. We will still focus on Thailand because of resilient tourism but more outside of Bangkok and overseas.
We recently joined with Nakheel Group with a 40% stake for us for a 4-star Hotel in Dubai and we’ll also look to expand further in the Maldives, Middle East, ASEAN especially Vietnam and Japan. In addition to this, we will look at expanding our management contracts at a faster pace compared to the hotel investments due to its asset-light nature. We foresee that in the next four years 68 hotels in our portfolio and a doubling of revenue from THB 10 bn to THB 20 bn.
For the Food business, the aim is also to double over the next four years from THB 12 billion to THB 24 billion. This year we will be launching a new brand, Aroi Dee, which is a scalable Thai cuisine restaurant that was developed by the team that manages Terrace. We’ve already launched three outlets at Silom 32, in the PTT Sai Mai station, and at Thai Watsadu Bangna and they are performing very well.
An interesting development that we have noted is that at the Silom branch, 60% of business is delivery and for Sai Mai 40% is delivery. This is a developing trend within Thailand with changes in lifestyle and urbanization and allows our food brands distribution to no longer being limited to just the outlet.
TET: What differentiates CENTEL versus its domestic and international competitors?
CENTEL: When we began managing the first hotel in the Maldives the local investor chose us because we treated them as a partner assisting with the entire process of development, financing, projections and so forth. Because we ourselves are a hotel owner and therefore understand the needs and requirements of partners, having gone through the cycles in the past. Another differentiating factor is that we are from Thailand the culture is very important with the service mindset that comes naturally and in my opinion, only Thailand and Japan currently have this high level of service quality.
TET: What are the biggest risks facing your business and what may investors misunderstand about your business?
CENTEL: When we first became a listed company, investor relations was a weak point for us but as the company has grown we have ensured that our strategy, our performance, and our long term goals are well understood by our current shareholders and potential future shareholders.

Your very own at-home yoga sanctuary! Big enough for two and with all the performance of our legendary Black Mat PRO. There’s plenty of room to roam on your own - or to practice with a partner.
Please be aware that with the unique size of this mat, the traditional Manduka dot logo tread that is on our PRO Series is not on the PRO Squared. See image for details.
• High-density cushion, joint protection, unmatched support.
• Guaranteed to never wear out from yoga practice.
• Closed-cell surface prevents sweat from seeping into the mat.
• Non-toxic, emissions-free manufacturing, 100% latex free.
Because The PRO Squared is a multi-purpose mat, it is not covered under our Lifetime Guarantee.
Size Dimensions -
12 KG ; 200 cm x 200 cm; 6 mm thick
Use & Care -
To Store: Roll Manduka PRO mats with the top side (fabric-finish) facing outwards. This keeps the corners of the mat flat when practicing.
To Break In: The surface texture of Manduka PRO mats improves with use. The best way to break in your mat is practice, practice, practice, but if you want to speed things up a little, try the salt method.
To Clean: Keep your mat in the best condition by wiping it down after every practice with Manduka All-Purpose Mat Wash. It’s specially formulated to clean your mat without damaging the surface or causing slippage.
DO NOT soak, shower or submerge your mat in water. For further details, visit our FAQ page.
Designed to last a lifetime (or two), Manduka PRO series yoga mats curb the amount of PVC mats that enter landfills every year and reduces overall mat consumption (check out our Lifetime Guarantee).
During the manufacturing of most PVC products, toxic emissions may be released into the air. However, PRO series mats are manufactured through a process that ensures no toxic emissions are released into the atmosphere.
The Manduka PRO is certified safe for human contact by OEKO-TEX®*, a material certification agency in Europe for the textile industry. *Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX® certificate no. 12.HUS.17706 by Hohenstein | <urn:uuid:12f29063-899e-4ab8-bb33-0c0d1a9af227> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.yogastudiowholesale.com/products/manduka-the-pro-squared-yoga-mat-6mm | 2023-11-28T19:55:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679099942.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20231128183116-20231128213116-00054.warc.gz | en | 0.879415 | 479 | [

If you are running B2B portal or business sites, then you may thinking that how you can boost your B2B sales. Am i right ? Anyway, i will try to guides you through which you can increase your sales in B2B eCommerce site.
Try to add more customer reviews
Customer review is undoubtedly one of the most important factors influencing decisions on any eCommerce website. This is especially true in B2B eCommerce, because businesses feel confident when they can see that they are the same companies and that they have used your service or product. We are already regarding this because we have already developed many projects and website for B2B as per clients requirement.
Reviews are a strong indicator of your business offering products that other companies use successfully. Not all reviews you include should be positive – honesty reflects well on your business. Never foolish customer by wrong reviews.
Use social media in your website
Advertising is often portrayed as a B2B marketing tool, especially in terms of eCommerce marketing. Social media is a valuable resource for B2C businesses, but if used in a way it can be useful for any B2B eCommerce site. The platform you use is important. B2B marketing services rarely work on sites like Instagram and Pinterest, but LinkedIn has found it to be highly successful for companies and professionals.
Sales offer with discount
B2B ecommerce works just like B2C ecommerce in the sense that your customers are always looking for a good deal and a competitive price. You may not be able to offer coupons or discounts like consumer brands do, but you can still find ways to provide incentives for customers to buy. You can do this for new and existing customers.
Dont foolish by add surprising shipping costs at checkout
Never show any surprising shipping costs at last step of checkout, because customer will dislike it and will not place any order. Always consist and show all related shipping cost and other before actual checkout page. This may also effect on your business brand and valuation.
Follow customer feedback
This is very vital and important factor that you should always get customer feedback. Sometimes customer feedback will help to improve your eCommerce store. If required then update your B2B portal too. This will help you to get more clients.
Use trusted symbol or pages
You should use 3rd party trusted site to get more trust on your b2b by customer. You can use google review and other tools to place in your site. You should also use trusted SSL logo in your site. These all helps to make more trust on your B2B by customer.
We also provide service of website business branding and promotion. We have professional team having more than 6+ years experience in web design of eCommerce site and promotion. Please contact us to develop your B2B business website. | <urn:uuid:30338364-0f52-45d7-96eb-431c7f33dc21> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.beyondmart.com/blog/how-to-boost-b2b-ecommerce-business-sales/ | 2023-11-29T22:51:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100146.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20231129204528-20231129234528-00854.warc.gz | en | 0.943527 | 576 | [

Drones are seldom far from the front pages but quite often the stories show UAVs as something to be feared from a privacy or safety standpoint or employed by criminals for nefarious purposes.
However, the CAA launched their third annual Drone Awareness Study to try to get to the truth of the public’s perception of the increasingly common sight of drones in the sky.
With a recent report by PWC estimating the drone industry having the potential to boost UK GDP by £42bn by 2030, it’s clear that aerial filming is going to be part of all of our lives in one form or another. How it is viewed by both pilots and consumers is therefore going to be really important as the industry literally begins to spread its wings.
It would seem that everyone from pilots to the public are on the same page when it comes to one key issue – safety. Increased regulation, safety and stiffer penalties for rule-breaking were high on the wish list for the majority of people who responded.
The ‘Drone Code’ – the code launched by the CAA to promote the rules and principles for safe flight – has become increasingly recognised – a heartening fact. 93% of the public and 96% of pilots interviewed thought it was ‘vital’ that it be adhered to in order to keep the skies safer for everyone.
A good proportion also state that they would welcome stiffer penalties in terms of large fines against those who fly outside of these rules – over 400ft or within airport boundaries (with 29% feeling that breaching the latter should merit a prison sentence). Lifetime flight bans were also mooted by 19% for dangerous flights over congested areas. Safety is clearly to be a priority for all in the future if drones are to leverage both their commercial and recreational potential as predicted.
In an age where smart phones proliferate, it is unsurprising that mobile apps are perceived to be the ideal way to create and regulate responsible and legal drone use. 73% of pilots said that they planned to use an app in the future (with 45% already doing do). These apps, such as NATS DroneAssist, are felt to offer real benefits both in terms of flight planning and activity reporting. The future definitely looks to be mobile as far as drones are concerned.
It is excited for DMI to be in as early adopters in such a fast moving and potentially incredible industry. Being first has its challenges but we are proud to evolve along with it and look forward to all the new opportunities that drones will present over the coming years.
Capture the magic of BBC Children in Need 2023 with stunning drone aerial views! Our expert team will skillfully navigate the skies, providing breathtaking footage that showcases the incredible work being done. From heartwarming stories to unforgettable moments, our drone shots will elevate your content and help raise awareness for this important cause.

Library virtually books timely programs
Library virtually books timely programs
November 4, 2020
By Elissa Andre
2020 has been quite the year for our community – everyone has felt the impact of COVID-19 in some way or another.
That’s why Johnson County Library is committed to supporting our friends and neighbors during this unprecedented time, whether through books, music or film that transport you to another time or place, virtual events that safely connect you to those who share your interests, or resources and workshops that expand your horizon.
Here’s a little behind-the-scenes knowledge about the library: when planning our programming, we split our year into trimesters – spring, summer and fall. Each season, we study both patron feedback and current events to choose themes on which to align our programming.
This fall, three main topics stood out: non-partisan election resources and civic engagement opportunities, which have included debate watch parties and refreshers about topics like the Electoral College; an exploration of issues surrounding racial justice in the Kansas City area, such as our Past is Prologue events focusing on local history and November’s two-part workshop Talking to Preschoolers about Race; and, due to the pandemic, a renewed focus on career development and personal finance resources. After all, as Benjamin Franklin famously stated in his 1758 book The Way to Wealth, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest!”
Johnson County Library offers several upcoming workshops for people in every stage of life. Looking for a career change or new opportunity? Networking isn’t just something for those just starting out – refresh your skills and get tips for modernizing your approach at our Networking for Professional Success event on Nov. 9.
For those just looking for a fresh approach to budgeting, especially as the holiday season approaches, we offer a course on 21st-century budgeting using the platform Mint. com on Nov. 12. Attendees can also schedule one-on-one coaching sessions for tailored assistance with your budget.
If you are nearing Medicare eligibility, or have questions about the maze of coverage options, our Nov. 16 program Making the Move to Medicare covers Parts A, B, C (Medicare Advantage), D and Medicare supplements (Medigap) and will help you navigate enrollment and deadlines.
All workshops are taught by local professionals in partnership with Johnson County Library. Events do require registration and are subject to change; visit jocolibrary.org/ events or call 913-826-4600 for more information and a full schedule of events.
While our librarians miss seeing your faces in person, this new virtual world does have a few benefits. If you can’t attend a live session that piques your interest, many of our online programs are recorded and posted on youtube.com/ jocolibrary for you to watch at your convenience, from the comfort and safety of your home. Plus, fewer weather delays and cancellations to worry about as the seasons change!
Finally, in addition to our monthly general newsletter, The Open Book, which highlights events and resources across Johnson County Library, we’ve also kicked off a specialized Career & Finance newsletter for those who opt-in. Once a month you’ll receive notice of upcoming events, reading recommendations, and eResource spotlights available with your library card – such as access to the Wall Street Journal, Consumer Reports and online courses through Udemy – straight to your email inbox. Sign up by visiting jocolibrary.org/event-types/career-and-finance.
We’re already dreaming of spring here at the library, planning for the new year ahead despite the continued uncertainty. We’re so grateful for your support over the last several months, whether you’re visiting us online or in one of our branches and we look forward to serving you in the months and years to come. In the meantime, “Happy Holidays” from all of us at Johnson County Library!

REDMOND, Wash. – Dec. 14, 2009 – Earlier today, questions arose over a feature developed by a third-party vendor for our MSN China joint venture. We are working with our MSN China joint venture to investigate the situation.
Unfortunately, when these questions first arose, it was the middle of the night in China. Now that the day has begun in China, our teams are working hard to track down the information.
Here’s what we know at this point. Our MSN China joint venture contracted with an independent vendor to create a feature called MSN Juku that allowed MSN users to find friends via microblogging and online games. This MSN Juku feature was made available to MSN China users in November and is still in beta.
Because questions have been raised about the code base comprising the service, MSN China will be suspending access to the Juku beta feature temporarily while we investigate the matter fully.
We will provide additional information as we learn more. | <urn:uuid:38ebbcc0-7612-473e-b67b-bb802caa72e2> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://news.microsoft.com/2009/12/14/microsoft-investigating-questions-over-msn-china-joint-ventures-juku-feature/ | 2023-12-01T03:48:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100264.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20231201021234-20231201051234-00754.warc.gz | en | 0.934845 | 206 | [

This paper presents the validation process conducted with the Supports Intensity Scale (sis, developed by the American Association of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (aaidd), with Chilean people with intellectual disabilities. A total of 285 people aged 18 and over with intellectual disabilities were assessed. The internal consistency was examined (using Cronbach's alpha and split-half procedures), and inter-rater reliability were examined. Construct validity was analyzed by the association of scores with age, the subscales inter-correlations and their association to the level of intellectual disability. Discriminant validity was tested by establishing the discriminative power of the scores for different groups of support needs. The results support the usefulness of the scale and are highly consistent with validation studies conducted in other countries.

If an American is planning to get married to a citizen of the Philippines, a major requirement that must be produced is a Certificate of No Marriage (CENOMAR). This is a document from the Philippines government certifying that an individual is single. It cross-reference any recorded marriages of verified citizens against records of divorces, showing that a person could be legally married without committing bigamy.
CENOMAR are produced by the Philippines’ National Record Office. An American marrying a Filipina or Filipino must take care that they are doing so legally because doing so is a very sensitive issue in the Philippines. Philippine legislators have introduced legislation that requires a foreigner who intends to marry a citizen of the Philippines to prove they have both “moral” and financial capabilities. In 1990, the Anti-Mail Order Bride Law was passed in the Philippines to outlaw so-called marriage catalogs, where Filipino women would be offered for marriage proposals, similar to those that had been used for Eastern European brides-to-be in catalogs targeted at US men.

+ TOTAL LUCK
The Castle + Falcon, Balsall Heath
Friday 28 April 2023
£15 adv – tickets
Since their inception, Gnod’s musical trajectory has been one of constant fluctuation, borne out of an incessant need to discover new sonic worlds. Alongside their crushing protest punk, we’re chuffed to welcome back Birmingham’s noisy trio Total Luck to the Supersonic stage.
Beginning life as a shamanic drone ensemble, at times fitting up to 15 members on stage, these early rituals informed the core ideals that have come to define the group in their years of activity; community and trance-inducing repetition. The current live incarnation of the band is characterised by a crushing, cataclysmic new protest music whose call to arms gravitas offers a meaningful defiance to Austerity Britain. Gnod have taken their very namesake and charged it with a bludgeoning, euphoric new edge.

I've survived eleven years? With the crazy fur balls in this house? It's -- it's a friggin' miracle! That's what it is. A friggin' miracle! I'm the oldest so I have to keep everyone in line -- including the humans. Here I'm supervising one of those home renovations. It's a lot of work but somebody's gotta' do it. Know what I mean?

Our hooman lost a hooman that she admired, RUTH BADER GINSBURG. We're sharing two of RBG's quotes from "In Her Own Words:" ----"Sometimes people ask me, 'So now there are three of you. When do you think you will have enough women on the Supreme Court?' And I think: when we are nine." ---- "The dean (of Harvard Law School) greeted the women in his first-year class with an invitation to dinner at his home. He brought us into his living room and called on each of us to tell him in turn why we were at the Harvard Law School occupying a seat that could be held by a man."

Earthquake!! Did you feel it? When we felines first heard it, my scaredy cat siblings streaked up the stairs a nano second before the house started rocking! Me? I took cover under the dining room chair & table. That's what you're supposed to do plus, I stayed near our hooman. She should have gotten under the table too but hoomans aren't fast enough! Our hooman's 'Shake Alert LA" App says it was a 4.5 magnitude about 30 minutes East of us. A reminder to be ready for "The Big One!" YOWL!!

SOPHEE: In memory of all the animals and hoomans killed in wars.
SPIRIT: Killed? What's war?
SOPHEE: It's kinda' like a big fight. It's a hooman thing, I guess.

In a move to help promote wide adoption of electric vehicles, AutoNexus facilities throughout Australia now offer advanced, multiple-car charging stations, supplied by EVSE Australia.
According to AutoNexus, an automotive fulfillment solutions provider, the 30-plus EV charging stations will help overcome one of the biggest challenges to mass electric vehicle (EV) use in Australia: vehicle logistics and the ability to charge multiple cars at scale.
Each AutoNexus facility can charge multiple EVs using high-powered 22-kW systems, which can be expanded as OEMs develop their vehicle offerings.
The charging station network marks a significant upgrade in the AutoNexus facilities’ infrastructure and expedites “the company’s commitment to be the industry leader in electric vehicle (EV) fulfilment,” according to Darren Bowler, AutoNexus managing director.
Sam Korkees, national sales manager for EVSE, said EVSE coordinated the nationwide installation in under three weeks.

Disrupting technologies, increasing competition and economic pressures makes P & C insurance to look beyond traditional strategies.
A shift is going on in the P & C insurance sector. In this shift some will emerge as leaders, many falling behind, and another group may be wiped out from the market. Year 2016 continues with market disruption. What are the forces that disrupt the market? How it affects processes and stakeholders is a hot discussion already. Now let us delve deer.
First and foremost is disruption due to innovations and new product development. Innovations are great levelers as well as a destroyers. Just look at the potential of IoT in changing insurance business. IoT is adding new tasks for the insurers. Wearable devices, automobiles, transmitters, medical equipment's, security systems, doors, lights etc., are providing insurers to segment markets and create new price models for the P & C market.
Emergence of sharing economy where assets are shared is creating opportunities for the property and casualty markets. This means insurance companies need to create new pricing models to tap those assets.
Are agents being replaced?
Digital technologies are throwing a spanner in the established property and casualty markets. Before digitization threats insurers employ agents to educate the customers. But the growing digitization phenomenon is slowly eliminating the key role played by agents as a medium between insurers and customers. For example, Google Compare helps customers to compare different products online, where customers can buy the products directly from the insurer. This may have a bearing on the premium as the awards paid to the agents can be given as a discount to the customer.
Thanks to digitization P & C customers are expecting personalized services like access anytime anywhere. This is making the customers happy where Millennials being the target and at the same time it is opening up risks like cyber security and hacking. Such risks can impact on the credibility of the insurance carriers. Today IT solutions come with additional embedded layers of protection to protect data assets.
The growing connected car with mobile telematics applications is redefining the traditional price models. The traditional model is being replaced by usage based insurance (UBI). This will empower the drivers to gain discounts on their driving behavior. The less the risk, the lower will be the premium. This trend is opening up opportunities for mobile application providers to come out with premium features in mobile telematics application. User friendly features like gaming and ancillary services like roadside assistance are a few examples to cite.
Underwriting collects collection of information with precision and accuracy. Big data is churning the property and casualty insurance sector. Big data technologies help in making underwriting effective with crime statistics and risk assessment leading to more accuracy in the underwriting process benefiting all the stakeholders.
Personalized customer experience
P & C is a competitive and cost-sensitive industry.It requires engaging customer to connect through personalized communications, meticulous evaluations, and speedy claims. Personalized customer experience results in customer retention. Therefore, robust mobility solutions are required for insurance companies to initiate the issue of policies, claims processing without going to the insurer physically.
Love or loathe it, insurance carriers can not avoid cloud computing to align with customers who prefer to have access on business over their mobile. Therefore insurance mobility holds the key for P & C insurers. Key brokering, claims, underwriting, re-insurance and accounting need to be enabled with solutions to speed up customers' appraisals and claims consistently, at reduced cost. The bottom line here is reducing the claim processing time. This will help in improving customer engagement through multi-channel delivery for clients. Moreover, this makes easy setting appointments, report losses, and receive notifications as and when required. | <urn:uuid:e29625d5-ddd0-4f08-b7de-c4040ba95e25> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | http://fca-compliance-risk-assessment-fully-editable-template-manual.co.uk/tag/key/ | 2023-12-09T19:05:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100942.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20231209170619-20231209200619-00054.warc.gz | en | 0.938939 | 741 | [

An Arkansas electrician found a two-headed snake while performing a routine inspection on a house.
An electrical worker found more than he bargained for during a routine home inspection on Wednesday.
Rodney Kelso was inspecting a home in Jonesboro, Arkansas when he noticed a snake sunning itself outside. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the snake had two heads.
Young donned a pair of gloves before he put the two-headed timber rattlesnake, nicknamed “Deuce,” in a box and took it to Crowley’s Ridge Nature Center in Jonesboro. Kelso said he had never seen anything like the snake in his more than 50 years in the area.
“Fifty years on the ridge and never have seen such,” he said.
Cody Walker, the education specialist at the nature center, was less surprised. “It does happen from time to time in nature,” he said, of animals having more than one head. “Usually they die from complications.”
For the time being, Deuce is doing well and will be put on display at the nature center once he acclimates to his new habitat.
This isn’t the first time a two-headed snake has been found in the Midwest. In 2016 an Indiana man found a two-headed timber rattlesnake, the same kind of snake as Deuce, on his property in Monroe County.
Unbeknownst to Tony Moore, he had built his home in the middle of a rattlesnake den. He noticed one night that a pair of the rattlesnakes were moving slowly and hanging around his front yard. On closer inspection, he realized it was actually one snake with two heads.
“I was awestruck. I had to get very close to make sure. And then when I realized each of the two heads occasionally had a tongue come out and were fully functional, I realized I wasn’t seeing things,” Moore said. “I’d have to say it’s a one-in-a-million situation. I’ve never seen a two-headed anything except in a museum. I mean I guess it’s fortunate. It’s amazing.”
Though they are not the only animals who can be born with two heads, snakes are the most common “polycephalic” animals (animals with two heads). | <urn:uuid:62268b64-51e7-48c3-b2ac-22a568dbd5b8> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://allthatsinteresting.com/two-headed-rattlesnake | 2023-12-10T20:39:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679102637.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20231210190744-20231210220744-00854.warc.gz | en | 0.982641 | 510 | [

It’s a beat like no other–the call of the wild, electrified. A rhythm that’s a raw, primitive thud that shakes you to your core. His sound was unique in the ’50s, and still today it’s instantly recognizable as the property of one Ellas McDaniel–better known to millions as Bo Diddley. The trademark rhythm came along by accident. “I was trying to play Gene Autry’s song ‘I Got Spurs That Jingle Jangle Jingle,’ and struck up on boomty boomty boom … boom boom,” the guitarist explained in an interview from his home in Florida. That story differs a little from one in the Aug. 25 issue of Rolling Stone, where Diddley says the inspiration came from hearing some old ladies rattling a tambourine and banging on a piano at a sanctified church when he was in his teens.
Wherever it came from, his sound is far from sanctified. That backbeat and Diddley’s call and response technique on records like “Say Man” and “Hey Bo Diddley” have led some to proclaim him the “godfather of rap,” a concept he’s amenable to. “We used to call it signifying. The dozens and stuff like that, but there weren’t no dirt involved in it. No dirty lyrics. I like rap, but not the rap that’s got the dirty lyrics.” The guitarist has no use for gangsta rap, either. “It’s bad news for our kids. Sends the wrong message to the youngsters.”
Though he had no trouble spreading his musical message, other musicians got the money and the fame. Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, the Stones all borrowed the Diddley beat.
He’s still bitter over the lack of respect and royalties. “I just never got paid,” says Diddley. “All around the world, man, I got records, CDs and all this other shit that I ain’t never seen a dime from. They lied and said that they paid Bo Diddley. I don’t know, there must be another one somewhere, but it didn’t come to my house.”
The 76-year-old guitarist has come to terms with the fact that he may never get what’s coming to him. “I don’t have ten or fifteen or twenty thousand dollars to hand to an attorney because I can’t do it myself,” he says heatedly.
For those just starting out, Diddley has some advice. “You can’t go around trusting people as I did,” he says sadly. “A contract is just what it says: con-tract. A lot of guys don’t intend to pay you in the first place.”
Diddley’s bitterness sometimes spills out onto those who share the stage with him, often locals playing the part of pickup band.
Two Dollar Pistol frontman John Howie Jr. is too much of a gentleman to share all the details of his Diddley experience. “I was raised in the Southern thing of if you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say anything.” Howie was 25 at the time and still behind a drum kit. “He [Diddley] said, ‘Look, I don’t need Gene Krupa here, boy.’ Made me play the simplest drum stuff possible, which I would have been fine with. But then he’d come back and do this huge solo and totally show me up. To his credit, he was fairly nice to me,” Howie says, “but it was pretty much a nightmare.”
To supplement his income, Diddley has worked gigs outside music over the years. Bo Diddley’s a Gunslinger, proclaims one of his best known albums. It wasn’t just a concept. Diddley, who sometimes still wears a badge pinned to his black Stetson, was a deputy sheriff in his then hometown of Los Lunas, N.M. in the early ’70s. A couple of years ago his showed his cop roots at a show at Ziggy’s in Winston-Salem.
Despite what he said was a sore back that had him sitting down through much of his set, the guitarist was on his feet for “Put a Hump in Your Back,” a song that’s little more than Bo chanting the title, then tossing in some salacious directions to his hump mate. The audience was repeating that refrain when Diddley suddenly changed the lyrics. “Put it out, put it out, put it out,” he yelled, and many in the audience started chanting along and clapping when he stopped playing his trademark square guitar and began shouting: “Put it out! Godammit! I mean it! I smell something funny. I see you! Put it out! Put it out or I’ll leave the stage!” Bo had detected the aroma of marijuana, and spotted some poor slob taking a toke near the front of the stage.
“Put it out, now,” he shouted. “I don’t care what you do on your own. Smoke all of that shit you want, just don’t do that stuff around me.”
Despite his financial setbacks and the lack of respect for his contributions, the man has no plans to quit. “I just got started, baby,” he says. “I know what the stage is made for, and I’m gonna use it ’til I can’t use it no more.”

If there's one things banks have going for them, their access to information is unparalleled. Financial organizations process an almost infinite amount of data on a daily basis, which provides them with useful insights that they can later use to improve customer service, boost operational efficiency and identify risk, among many other applications. The problem is many banks are struggling to actually use their information correctly.
Lawrence Buettner of Wausau Financial Systems wrote a recent article for Bank Tech detailing his travels around the country. He visited a number of banks and other financial companies to talk about innovation and other tech-related topics with some of the nation's most prominent financial professionals. Typically, these conversations turned to data. More accurately, they spoke of their respective bank's mismanagement of its own information.
"We lost a major house account that was with the bank for decades because we could not meet their data needs to better manage their receivables," one banker told Buettner.
While this is clearly an unfortunate scenario, the worst part is that it's entirely avoidable. By implementing the right solutions, banks—or any company for that matter—can harness the power of their information and get the most out of it. Data should help an organization grow, not prevent it from succeeding.
Building a custom database software system will allow companies to effectively collect, process and monitor their information. Companies like banks that handle an enormous volume of data will be able to scale their systems and eliminate the risk of mismanaging their information. | <urn:uuid:cc03c3ba-25f0-4b17-9dd2-c505cec9e61f> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://kyologic.com/2013/08/why-banks-need-to-better-manage-their-data/ | 2023-11-28T23:23:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100016.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20231128214805-20231129004805-00154.warc.gz | en | 0.965863 | 305 | [

After attending the Buckinghamshire Sports Festival in 2022 it was great to welcome back George from Berkshire for the week long National Junior Games...
Scottish Wheelchair Racer Joanna Robertson is 24 years old and from Aberdeen. After suffering a life changing spinal injury back in 2019 Joanna turned to sport and hasn’t looked back since. She is now competing at the national level and WheelPower was delighted to be able to support her ongoing development by helping her to fund some rollers so she can now train all year around.
Joanna sustained a T12 spinal cord injury in a car accident in 2019 and spent many months in the Queen Elizabeth National Spinal Unit in Glasgow during her rehabilitation. Being physically active and playing sport became an important aspect of her rehab as she explains:
“Before my injury sport played a very minor role in my life, I had done a bit of swimming but only very casually. But after my accident I found sports vastly more enjoyable. I discovered how they were able to help me both mentally and physically, and I became involved in swimming, hand cycling, and wheelchair racing. It was actually my physio at the spinal unit who informed me of wheelchair racing, and in the past Samantha Kinghorn (2x Paralympic medallist at Tokyo 2020) was one of her patients. I googled it and instantly fell in love with it.”
After trying a number of sports in the years after her injury Joanna discovered that wheelchair racing gave her everything she was looking for. She tells us more about her first experience, “I first tried wheelchair racing in a second hand racing chair. It was far too small for me, but I made it work hard and gave me a good introduction to sport.”
“Over time I gained funding to buy my own custom Bromakin chair (see picture) and I now train six days a week with the Aberdeen Amateur Athletics Club. Three are distance focused runs on the road with my coach, and the next three are gym and swim focused to change up the muscle groups.”
Joanna is progressing very quickly in the sport, inspired by fellow Scottish athletes Melanie Woods and Sammi Kinghorn who both also have close connections to WheelPower. In the past year Joanna has started competing more regularly and joined Melanie and Sammi on the start line in a recent half marathon! (pictured below)
“Wheelchair Racing gives me so much happiness and has already given me lots goals to achieve in the future. I adore the competition of wheelchair racing, it has given me the motivations to become the fittest and healthiest version of myself. So far I have taken part in many parkruns, 3ks, 5ks, 10ks and even a half marathon in Edinburgh. This Spring I am looking forward to doing the London Marathon (23 April 2023) for the first time which is very exciting!”
WheelPower and the Wheelwrights Fund
Joanna is no stranger to WheelPower having attended a number of online exercise classes during the Covid-19 pandemic. These classes supported her to maintain her fitness whilst unable to train and it is great that WheelPower is now able to continue that support through the Wheelwrights Fund.
“I heard about Wheelwrights Fund from a friend of mine after moaning to her about not being able to train when the weather was horrible (and its Scotland, so the weather is normally bleh!). She told me about the fund from WheelPower and suggested I asked them about getting some rollers for my home.”
“My application was successful and the rollers arrived a few months ago. I adore them and now when the weather is bad I can go on my rollers in my workout shed. I turn on my music and I am happily on them for a few hours. They have already helped me massively, and I have a mirror set up so I can see my pushing technique while on them. It helps me to change my technique and see if I am pushing correctly. I can also now join my other wheelchair racing friends on Zoom and we can do roller sessions together.”
The future is looking very bright for Joanna and we wish her all the best for her 2023 season, and beyond. We look forward to welcoming her to Stoke Mandeville Stadium for the British Wheelchair Athletics Association grand prix events and will be cheering her on as she competes her first marathons.
The final words come from Joanna; “All I can say is a massive thank you to WheelPower. The funding for the rollers has made the sport I adore all the more enjoyable. It has broken down more barriers, has made me all the healthier and happier and I can’t wait now to put all my extra training into practice this year.”
“The question now for me is what isn't next! I am hopeful to complete more marathons after London, I have races lined up in Stoke Mandeville, 10k in Manchester, Coventry spring track races, and much more. Its very exciting times and I’m so happy that I found wheelchair racing after my injury.” | <urn:uuid:ae0e817e-c842-44be-bf8e-040ea10e3564> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.wheelpower.org.uk/stories/joanna-wheelwrights/ | 2023-11-28T22:10:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100016.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20231128214805-20231129004805-00154.warc.gz | en | 0.97487 | 1,059 | [

China and the United States have made a joint declaration at an APEC workshop
in Shanghai, calling for intensifying exchanges and cooperation between APEC
economies to fight against corruption.
The declaration was made Tuesday at the concluding session of the Shanghai
Workshop on anti-corruption co-sponsored by China and the United States.
It called for joint efforts from Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC)
members to create a corrupt-free environment to contribute to economic
prosperity and social stability of the Asia-Pacific region.
Li Yufu, vice-minister of Supervision, said China will cooperate with APEC
members to fight corruption, especially in the areas of denying safe haven to
corrupt officials and individuals, their extradition and the recovery of
unlawfully acquired assets.
Debra Wong Yang, U.S. attorney of the central district of California,
commended China's important role under the APEC framework in cooperation to
fight against corruption.
114 officials and experts from 18 APEC economies and related international
anti-corruption organizations participated in the three-day workshop with the
theme of Denial of Safe Haven, Asset Recovery and Extradition.
The goal of the workshop is to build on the commitment of APEC leaders, as
expressed in the Santiago commitment on fighting corruption and ensuring
transparency and the Busan Declaration, to intensify regional cooperation in
The workshop touched on subjects including the core elements of a denial of
safe haven strategy, extradition and repatriation, asset recovery and the return
of illicitly acquired assets, mutual legal assistance and international
cooperation and anti-money laundering and anti-bribery measures.
Officials of China's Ministry of Supervision said with globalization and
regional economic integration, organized and and transnational corruption has
been increasing. They said the denial of safe haven, asset recovery and
extradition are the major tasks in international cooperation to fight
They said due to different political and economic systems in APEC economies,
there are also differences in legal systems in fighting corruption. The fact
should be recognized so as to lay a sound basis for exchanges and cooperation in
They stressed the effectiveness in anti-corruption drive, the efforts for
substantial progress and diversified cooperation forms in the struggle against
They also called for establishing bilateral and multi-lateral cooperative
mechanisms against corruption.
The 21st Session of the Standing Committee of the 10th National People's
Congress of China, which opened on Tuesday, will deliberate on several related
motions including the ratification of the extradition treaties between China and
Brazil and China and Spain. They will also debate and are expected to ratify the
Treaty on Criminal Judicial Assistance between China and Spain, and a similar
treaty between China and France. | <urn:uuid:e697b9ec-0661-46be-82b3-3c2efc36ea68> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2006-04/27/content_578123.htm | 2023-11-30T05:43:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100164.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20231130031610-20231130061610-00054.warc.gz | en | 0.936739 | 582 | [

Biggest Factors in Determining the Best HVAC Unit for Your Home
A new HVAC system for your home is a significant investment, both from the perspectives of your finances and overall comfort. Modern HVAC systems come packed full of features and ratings, and you may be feeling a little overwhelmed. Here is a breakdown of how to approach the purchase of a new HVAC system. F & R Air Conditioning, Inc. specializes in heating and air conditioning systems for residents of Abbeville, LA, and the surrounding areas, so we can help you find the best HVAC system for your home.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a New HVAC System
There are several important factors that influence which HVAC system is best for your needs. You will need to find a balance that works for you. Budget should always be the first priority, both in terms of the immediate investment and cost of operation. When you think of budget, consider how much money you have on hand and your estimated cost savings with a higher efficiency unit. The other factors to consider are:
- Existing HVAC structures in your home, such as duct work and thermostats
- Square footage of your home
- Special features, such as zone control, programmable thermostats, indoor air purifiers, and humidifiers
Why Square Footage Matters
HVAC systems have ratings in British thermal units (BTU) that are set by the manufacturers to let consumers know the output of the unit. The BTU rating lets you know how much warm or cold air can be removed from the interior of your home per hour. Given the same square footage, units with higher BTUs will remove the same amount of warm or cold air faster than units with lower BTU ratings. Choosing the right BTU rating based on the square footage of your home ensures that the unit achieves the optimum energy efficiency noted by the manufacturer. If you choose a unit that is too high in BTUs for your square footage, you will likely spend too much up front. Choose a unit that is too small, and you will spend more money than needed on your utility costs. Calculating BTUs is relatively easy. Take the square footage of your home and multiply it by 25.
Choose the Right HVAC System With Professionals
F & R Air Conditioning, Inc. offers HVAC installation, maintenance, and repair services for homeowners in the Abbeville area, and we carry a full line of systems for every size home. Before you buy your new heating and air conditioning system, contact F & R Air Conditioning, Inc. to discuss your needs and find out which units are best for your home.

Top Reasons Why a Business’s Customer Loyalty is Essential
The new year is right around the corner, leading up to the time when businesses reboot and refresh their strategic goals. Increase business expenses, spend more on customer acquisition, and focus less on customer retention…goals of no one. There is new life in customer acquisition; however, nurturing existing customers and creating loyalty should be considered a nest egg and something to focus on continually. Keep reading to learn a few top reasons why a business’s customer loyalty is essential.
Customer loyalty is comparable to a trusting, long-term relationship. Keeping customers happy and engaged creates retention and loyalty, which accomplishes positive sharing across social media platforms. It breaks down to treating customers the way you would want to be treated by a business.
Customer loyalty is not just given; it must be earned. Building customer loyalty comes with knowing your customers and what motivates them. This could be anything from fantastic customer service and experience to developing a rewards program that speaks to them. The value of investing in customer loyalty leads to decrease marketing costs, increased growth, and the creation of those long-term relationships.
YCS® Group is the epicenter of digital technology solutions for your rewards and loyalty platform. Our platform is innovative, unique, and customizable through our patent-protected intellectual property, branded mobile platform, and white-label relationships.

By market capitalization edit
The list is based on Forbes.com's ranking as of August 2023 based on an analysis of the bank's operations, financial performance, and overall impact on the global economy.
|Rank||Bank name||Market cap|
|2||Bank of America||231.52|
|3||Industrial and Commercial Bank of China||194.56|
|4||Agricultural Bank of China||160.68|
|7||HSBC Holdings PLC||148.90|
|9||China Construction Bank||139.82|
|10||Bank of China||136.81|
By total assets edit
The list is based on the April 2023 S&P Global Market Intelligence report of the 100 largest banks in the world. The ranking was based upon assets as reported and was not adjusted for different accounting treatments. Another publication which has the goal to compile a yearly list of the world largest banks is The Banker Magazine. Every year in their July number a list of the World 1000 Largest Banks is published. The financial data published by the July yearly issue of The Banker are much more extensive compared to the S&P Top 100 banks, but it's not a publication intended for the general public.
Accounting treatment affects the assets reported: for example, the United States uses US GAAP (as opposed to IFRS), which only reports the net derivative position in most cases, leading to US banks having fewer derivative assets than comparable non-US banks. If JPMorgan Chase reported under the IFRS, it would be ranked 2nd on the list as of 2023[update], rather than 5th.

An understaffed force remains a problem
The Temple University police union says the surrounding community in Philadelphia wants to see a more proactive police force as violence continues to plague the city.
“Our community partners have expressed to us how they want more police in the area who are specifically focused on violent crime,” Alec Shaffer, the president of the Temple University Police Association, told The College Fix recently via a spokesperson.
Shaffer said that staffing is an issue, as the pay for campus cops is below what other nearby law enforcement agencies pay. The Temple University Police Department has 63 officers now, 37 short of its goal of 100, according to Fox 29.
He said that the university “promised to double the police force” in November 2021, but this “has gone unfulfilled.” School officials made the promise after the fatal shooting of a student.
TUPD’s pay is “well below the industry average for Philadelphia AND surrounding county police agencies. Simply put, Police Officers leave for other agencies that pay a lot more.”
37 Aggravated Assaults
— Temple University Police Association (@officialTUPA) May 31, 2022
“The City of Philadelphia and SEPTA Transit police have recently realized this and increased salaries and are considering signing bonuses,” Shaffer said. “Temple has not done anything to make being a Temple Police Officer appealing.”
“We believe that if we had the proper resources, such as a properly staffed police department, and a data driven ideology to policing, we can drastically cut down on violent crime in the Temple Area,” Shaffer told The Fix via email.
He said “people in the Temple area will continue to be victimized at alarming rates by violent repeat offenders” until the university changes its approach. The offenders “act completely unchecked with no fear of apprehension or punishment.”
Campus cops are only allowed to react to crime, which harms their ability to prevent violence.
“Nothing has been effective in reducing crime near Temple because there are no crime fighting measures in place,” the police union president said. “We are strictly a reactionary force and nothing is being done to actually prevent crime.”
The union has publicly asked administrators to “implement proven crime reduction methods such as Evidence-Based Policing and Precision Policing that focuses only on violent offenders, and does not over police the neighborhood.”
The understaffing has also hurt the officers’ ability to stay updated on training.
The officers have taken racial sensitivity and de-escalation training in addition to crisis response.
“Temple Police officers also attend additional training with the Philadelphia Police called (CIT) or Crisis Intervention Training,” the union said. CIT “is an intensive week-long course teaching officers how to interact with individuals who are in the midst of a mental health crisis.”
“We would love to do more training but we simply cannot with how low our staffing is,” Shaffer told The Fix.
He said the crime situation near campus is “extremely volatile and unsafe.” That includes “two mass shooting incidents so far this year”
“Gunpoint robberies and carjackings have been a problem as well. For context, TUPD responded to 48 shooting incidents in 2021 in the Temple Patrol Zones,” he said. “So far in 2022, 38 people have been shot in the patrol zone, 5 fatally.”
Shares advice on how to stay safe
The police union president provided advice to parents and students concerned about safety.
He said to “always be aware of your surroundings” and stay on top of crime alerts. Students should “travel in groups” and “keep phones and valuables hidden.”
He said to “never be afraid to call police when you feel unsafe or to report an incident.”
Students should also learn “trauma first aid” including “how to apply a tourniquet in the event of a severe bleed.”
Temple responded to an inquiry from The Fix about the pay and benefits for cops and proactive policing.
A media representative shared a statement from Temple COO Ken Kaiser. The statement didn’t address the question about pay.
“Safety continues to be our top priority at Temple University, and we have developed a number of new campus safety enhancements in conjunction with Campus Safety Services over the last several months,” Kaiser said in his response.
He stated further:
We work closely with the Philadelphia Police Department to share information and identify ways in which we can partner to address crime in the area. The lifeblood of Campus Safety Services are our hardworking officers, and they do an excellent job under some challenging circumstances.”
Every TUPD officer has a direct line to our interim director of campus safety, who I also connect with several times per week to discuss campus safety at Temple.
The university said it is trying to recruit officers and that includes nine candidates who start police academy at the end of June.
Temple is also working with the city police department for patrols. “This past weekend, patrols were slightly short-staffed because three Temple officers were completing the annual weapons training.”

The Stratodesk team literally rocked VMworld Europe in Barcelona. Our tradeshow team was booked basically day to night all three days. With on-site tech demos of our endpoint OS and management solution NoTouch Desktop, awesome talks about the Stratodesk approach of leveraging existing gear and adding, beside standard hardware, new low cost devices like Intel NUCs or Raspberry PIs to the mix, as well as old and new customers and partners dropping by to chat about great experiences with Stratodesk and future project, our booth was always packed.
We really enjoy to change the way our customers use their desktops today. Stratodesk NoTouch Desktop offers a more secure, easier and more reliable way to use existing and new devices in a VDI environment like VMware or Citrix. But even more important than that, Stratodesk gives system administrators with NoTouch Center an extremely user-friendly tool to update, configure and monitor their devices from one central location. Together with enterprise grade features like asset tracking, reporting, scripting or a free, pre-configured PXE server for easy roll-out and network boot NoTouch Center leaves admins more time for new project and important tasks.
Just take a look at some of NoTouch Center’s features:
- Support for numerous operating system
- Pre-Installed in the Stratodesk Virtual Appliance
- Cloud Deployment option
- Group based administration and Inheritance of Settings
- Browser Based
- Uniform User Interface
- Multi-User Support and Rights Management
- Real-time Device Monitoring and Tactical Overview
- Reporting Tool
- Asset Tracking and Peripheral Inventory
- Scripting Engine
- Remote Helpdesk
- And much more
Our team had a lot of fun working our booth raffle for a Parrot Drone. Congratulation to the lucky winner, Rob de Hoog.
If by any chance a polar bear showed up in you company after the show, he probably came from our booth and don’t get jealous if you see one of your colleagues with a cool Stratodesk T-Shirt. There are still some opportunities to see us this fall in Europe and take home some cool Stratodesk swag:
VMUG UserCon Italy: 14/11/2017
VMUG UserCon UK: 16/11/2017
We hope to see you at one of the coming events. | <urn:uuid:a2a2efb2-9d3c-48a0-843f-af5f82a9785d> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.stratodesk.com/stratodesk-rocked-vmworld-europe/ | 2023-12-02T12:28:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100399.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20231202105028-20231202135028-00754.warc.gz | en | 0.906601 | 491 | [
