In our previous Vechain price analysis we mentioned VET was Looking For A Major Bullish Breakout, but Vechain price has fallen downwards from the ascending triangle on daily chart, as bears are taking control. Also 50-day simple moving average (SMA) will trigger a bearish death cross over the next week.
VeChain price has built a bearish flag pattern as shown in the chart, after the June 22 low, VET price is rejected by the resistance indicated by the 200-day SMA present at $0.090.
Under the weight of strong resistance, VET price broke out of the bearish flag pattern on July 5 and is demonstrating a convincing bearish fallout.
In line with the current price structure, VeChain price is predicted to test the May 23 low (0.055) or June 22 low (0.060).
In worst cases Vechain can fall 55% from the pattern breakout. A death cross is which is a bearish signal is also coming where 50 day SMA is going to cross 200 SMA, that can cause strong selling pressure.
To break the bearish narrative, the VeChain price needs a daily close above $0.088 and the 200-day SMA at $0.090. However, the VET will quickly face a stiff resistance from 50-day SMA at $0.01.
VeChain price momentum is clearly declining after yesterday 7% drop. The bears have established control over the digital asset, and if the price falls, bears will pick further momentum, VET could face a sharp 55% decline from the current price to reach a support of $0.036. It should be remembered that from June 21 to 22, VET decreased by about 40%.
Currently Vechain is trading in the demand zone of $0.070 to $0.080, so there is nothing to worry. But for bulls this demand zone must hold.
If this demand zone is able to face bears and absorb selling pressure, It will invalidate all bearish analysis and we could easily see Vechain price gaining upward momentum to touch $0.10 and reach second major resistance present at $0.14.

For more Australians to be self-reliant in retirement, there should be no reduction in tax concessions, according to Xpress Super and Super Guardian chief executive, Olivia Long.
Commenting on the Government's 2015 Intergenerational Report, Long said that because the population is ageing the country needs a bipartisan approach to get the right policy settings and needs to remove superannuation from the political cycle.
"What we need to ensure is that we have a superannuation system that is increasingly able to allow people to be self-reliant in retirement," she said.
Long said that the accumulation phase and the importance for generating income streams to fund retirement had become more critical
"I just hope the bipartisan answer is not to cut the tax concessions," Long said.
The report projected that by 2054-2055 there will be seven million Australians aged 65 to 84, compared with 3.1 million today.
"Unless we get the right policy framework then future governments will face fiscal constraints, the inevitable result of an ageing population supported by fewer people in the workplace." | <urn:uuid:21a51e91-d983-45a0-8206-b8918a6e0d6e> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.moneymanagement.com.au/news/superannuation/tax-concession-cut-will-slow-super-growth | 2021-10-28T07:23:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588282.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20211028065732-20211028095732-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.958697 | 217 | [

I haven’t made a big deal out of this before, but I replaced the tank monitors on our RV Lance some time ago. It only took me a couple months of the “Yes, but is it closer to 1/3 full or 2/3 full?” guessing game before I ripped off the tank monitors that came from the factory and installed a new system. THIS system. Have a look at the video:
I’d never seen SeeLevel at an RV show before, so when I saw them, I knew we had to make a quick video to make sure everyone was introduced to their product. These tank gauges are the bomb. I always know, within +- 3%, what the levels in my tanks are… even the LP tank! They work by sonar, so there are no probes to gunk up. You can re-use the existing wiring. The install is pretty easy. The only difficult part of the install in Lance was figuring out how to wire in the pump switch, since Winnebago uses an integrated control panel. But once I had that sorted out, it was pretty straight-forward.
I installed this tank monitor system in Das Bus, and I’ve installed it in Lance. If the next RV we buy doesn’t have it, I intend to install it in that RV as well. That’s 100% adoption from yours truly. I like it that much.
As RVers, I think we deserve better than guessing how full our tanks are. If you think the same, you can get these and install them on your holding tanks. You can also start bugging your friendly RV manufacturer to include these gauges in their future coach builds. And maybe that’s the long game here. So yeah… start bugging your friendly neighborhood RV manufacturer!
Let’s end the guessing game!! | <urn:uuid:21d03aad-8823-40bd-8120-f95be87ced9a> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.thefitrv.com/rv-tips/the-tank-monitor-i-always-use-seriously/ | 2021-10-28T08:33:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588282.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20211028065732-20211028095732-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.973933 | 387 | [

New S.C. bill could limit HOA power by eliminating foreclosures
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WMBF) - A bill pre-filed this month would prohibit homeowners associations in South Carolina from foreclosing on homes.
HOAs currently have the power to foreclose on a property if fees and fines go unpaid.
If passed, the bill filed by South Carolina representative Todd Rutherford, D-Richland, would strip the associations from this power.
“Real property used as a primary residence may not be sold if the action was instituted by a homeowners association attempting to collect unpaid dues, fee, or fines,” part of the proposed bill stated.
Residents in the Ashford Estate Homeowner Association said they support this law.
“If you take the foreclosure aspect out of the HOA you’re going to alleviate a lot of problems in the state of South Carolina,” said James Hatton.
In November 2017, more than 50 liens were placed on homes in Ashford Estates.
Hatton was one of 50 homeowners that had to hire a lawyer to keep his house. However, he said others weren’t as fortunate.
“I’ve watched a special needs kid getting thrown out of their homes because they couldn’t afford a $5,000 bill. A $500 bill for dues ballooned into $5,000,” Hatton said.
Hatton said the property management group at the time refused to answer questions for the members, like where their money was going and who was in charge.
DeAnna Douglas-Jackson is another member in the community who is still fighting for her home.
“Everyone has struggles, you know?” she said. “It’s amazing that a management company or an HOA can just say, ‘You know what? We’re going to slap you a fine and keep adding on to it and foreclosure on your home.’”
She had to spend money in court to prevent her home from being foreclosed on.
“You’re taking homes from people who can’t afford an attorney to fight you to keep their home, so you’re going to take their home, make them homeless and it’s just coldhearted,” Douglas-Jackson said.
Her and Hatton are on their HOA board. Douglas-Jackson said the association has removed late fees for unpaid dues to make a more peaceful neighborhood.
Both said they understand dues need to be paid but think there are other ways besides foreclosure.
“You’ve got a big problem here,” Hatton said. “If you want to collect your money, you can throw a lien against it. There are other methods of collecting the dues for the organization.”
Both homeowners said they support the bill and think it would help regulate HOAs in the state.
Darcy Dennis is the vice president of operations at Ally Management. She explained foreclosure is a big mechanism to enforce payment and rules.
“If you don’t have a mechanism in place to enforce those rules and regulations, what is your word worth? We can keep saying, ‘Hey, we’re going to do this. We’re going to do this,’ but if you don’t actually do it or have the ability to do, what does it mean?” Dennis said.
She thinks the big questions will be, how do you enforce that?
HOAs have punishment, like foreclosure in place, because they rely on all members dues to pay for the management of the community.
Collin Jewell, an HOA attorney at Floyd Law, said the bill would make it hard for HOAs to collect unpaid association assessments.
“The association would effectively have to file a lien and wait to collect until the owner/member sells the home,” Jewell wrote in an email. “It would likely also lead to an increase in assessments for the owners/members that do pay.”
Dennis agreed, other HOA members could suffer without a mechanism in place to enforce payment. She also predicted the bill could impact HOAs ability to get loans.
“Banks will often loan money to HOAs to make repairs that are needed and the HOAs can expense that over several years paying that back,” she said. “I can imagine the banking institutions would not be as able to loan money to HOAs if there was not a mechanism set in place for HOAs to recoup that money.”
Dennis said Ally Management handles around 8,000 properties and only two have been foreclosed on.
Ally Management handles mostly condo associations. Rutherford’s bill would apply to primary residences.
The bill will not receive any action or discussion until January at the earliest when lawmakers return to Columbia.
Rutherford did not get back to WMBF about the pre-filed bill.

Skype earned an entry the last times, altering exactly how consumers connected together, producing clip career and conference obtainable for all the.
But ended up being the discharge of dissension that once and for all modified the program of using the internet correspondence.
Before that, there had been texting treatments that given users the ability to save their particular messaging historical past once and for all for the fog. And also to conserve these messages on MSN or objective, customers demanded a third-party plug-in.
Any time Skype arrived, it helped customers to store messages, but limited to a limited opportunity: thirty days. All beyond that, and also you shed those texts.
Therefore, in that way, Discord are an air of oxygen. It allows people to hang onto their own message traditions forever, saving vast amounts of emails in a blog posting. And unlike different applications, Discord will not let people to mass-delete his or her message records.
For many, which can appear to be a horror since secrecy and security reasons. You will have to go through every content, removing each, one after the other.
If however you’re for the reason that state, fret not just because there are a number of ways to help you to get with this constraint. | <urn:uuid:e43ca8d6-5072-4685-935c-a9dc923dacfb> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | http://babababydesigns.com/category/bosnian-dating-review-2 | 2021-10-16T19:20:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323584913.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016170013-20211016200013-00715.warc.gz | en | 0.946978 | 258 | [

It is often said that one good deed leads to another. In the case of 85-year-old San Francisco native Rita Leitner, 23 years of collecting donated bread has led to thousands of egg salad sandwiches for the homeless.
Twice a week just before 9 p.m., Rita revs up the car engine and drives out into the dark to collect day-old bread from a nearby Los Gatos bakery.
At 11:15 a.m. the next morning, volunteers from the Feed My Lambs Ministry of Cambrian Park Seventh-Day Adventist Church, San Jose, back a van into Leitner’s driveway and transfer the bread from her trunk to the van.
Then everyone joins hands in a circle. A short prayer is offered for the homeless and for faithful volunteers such as Leitner, who also collects clothing, sleeping bags, etc. for the homeless.
On Saturdays, the donated bread is made into 258 egg salad sandwiches and distributed to the homeless throughout San Jose.
Leitner, who says she is as Irish as Paddy’s pig, attends daily mass at St. Frances Cabrini Parish, San Jose. She visits a different shut-in every day.
“I try to be an angel in a cloud,” said Leitner, who had nine children in 10 years. “How Catholic can you be?” She jokes that she wore out her husband.
When he did, indeed die young, Leitner went to work to support her children, starting out as a “Gal Friday” and ending up as vice president of Triad Systems. Retiring around 1986, she began helping the homeless, who called her “the bread lady” when she visited their San Jose encampments.
“I used to come back home and cry,” said Leitner. “There’s no way I could walk away from the problem, from people in that condition.”
Leitner has a coffee table — like an altar — of San Francisco Giants memorabilia in her living room and some of her 200 treasured family photo albums. She is writing a book about the people who have changed her life just by moving through it.
“Rita is quite the gal,” said one of her homeless friends. “Hopefully, she will get published in the Santa Clara Weekly for her seriously good deeds all these years.” | <urn:uuid:7a2e7948-822d-45c8-ab06-71d3df92e208> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.svvoice.com/good-deeds-lead-to-egg-salad-sandwiches/ | 2021-10-16T18:52:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323584913.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016170013-20211016200013-00715.warc.gz | en | 0.974449 | 508 | [

The sweetest time of the year is almost here! The 2017 Girl Scout Cookie Program kicks-off on January 14, and this promises to be the best one yet because we’re celebrating 100 years of Girl Scouts selling cookies! That’s a century of the largest girl-led business in the world helping girls learn important life skills while having a ton of fun!
Wondering how you can get in on the celebration? Here are some of the new additions to the Cookie Program this year!
Girl Scout S’mores Cookie
What better way to celebrate a cookie anniversary than with a brand-new Girl Scout cookie? Inspired by a Girl Scout camping tradition, the Girl Scout S’mores Cookie will be available to the general public starting mid-January. This delicious new cookie features a crispy graham cracker, double dipped in crème icing with a chocolatey coating. We’re sure girls and customers alike will be saying ‘s’mores please!’ during this year’s program.
Cookie Troop 100
Girl Scouts of the USA is helping celebrate 100 years of Girl Scouts selling cookies by giving every troop across the country the chance to win big! One lucky troop from every council will win $100 to put toward a community service project and one VERY lucky troop will have a chance to win $3000 to super power a community service project. How awesome is that? All you have to do to participate is complete four simple steps:
- Set a troop goal and share the plan for your cookie money—what cool stuff will you do to improve your community this year?
- Earn a Cookie Business badge—you can take your pick!
- As a troop, ask 100 NEW customers to buy cookies.
- Bling Your Booth. Gather your troop and get those creative juices flowing to come up with a fun theme—a party, a race, a cookie disco—what will it be? You can even include a Cookie 100th twist. Just remember to snap a cool photo!
Once all 4 steps are completed, ask your troop leader to help you submit your entry anytime between January 3 – April 30 to unlock your limited-edition Cookie Troop 100 patch, and enter for a chance to win cash to invest in your Take Action or service project.
Winning troops will be randomly selected—no voting necessary!
Dual Patch Program
This year only, girls can earn a limited-edition 100 years of selling patch! Girls who participated in the Fall Product Program and the 2017 Cookie Program will have the opportunity to earn this dual patch recognition and claim #braggingrights all year long!
Earning this patch happens in two parts. First, girls who participated in the 2016 Fall Product Program must have created a digital avatar, and sent 12 or more emails letting customers know about the sale. Second, girls must participate in the 2017 Cookie Program and sell 300 or more boxes of cookies. That’s it!

Says Nate Silver: "The institution of the Catholic Church is often unpopular with liberals for its position on issues like family planning, but it can also be a force for social progress." He cites data showing that Catholics have more progressive views on global warming than other groups. Sure, hooray Catholics, but I don't know if the Church deserves any credit.
People should be careful about crediting the views of lay Catholics to the Church hierarchy (or blaming lay Catholics for the views in the church hierarchy). Here's Gallup showing us that Catholics have basically the same abortion and stem cell views as everybody else. Given the extent to which lay Catholics make up their own minds regardless of what the Church hierarchy says, I don't know if the global warming results can be credited to its good position on those issues.
If I was looking for moral guidance on some issue or other, I'd trust some random Catholic guy or gal off the streets of Boston long before I'd trust Benedict XVI. I wonder if any ordinary Catholics out there are upset about the way the Pope flies around like some kind of Holy Roman Vampire, draining them of their credit for good deeds and using it to energize himself for more wicked schemes. | <urn:uuid:b018db7f-9595-4d23-b020-57aeb6b968fa> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.donkeylicious.com/2009/04/catholics-better-than-pope.html | 2021-10-19T18:21:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585280.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20211019171139-20211019201139-00155.warc.gz | en | 0.958563 | 244 | [

(FOX NEWS) - A Massachusetts family has captured a viral video Monday of their toddler climbing what is supposed to be a gate stopping children from getting into a pool.
Keith Wyman says his family was in their backyard in Attleboro Monday when his 2-year-old son Cody began to climb the gate blocking the ladder to their above-ground pool.
“Within two seconds, he was up,” Wyman told KUTV. “If a two-year-old can do it, a six-year-old can do it.”
The Wymans grabbed Cody before he got into the pool, but not before capturing it on camera to show other parents how easily kids could climb over.
The Wymans say the store where they bought the ladder and gate from offered them a replacement, but all the other gates had a similar design.
Their video has since been viewed more than 20 million times on Facebook. | <urn:uuid:0625e820-2f59-43ec-868e-85ec35238815> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.my9nj.com/news/child-scales-un-climbable-pool-ladder-in-viral-video | 2021-10-19T19:28:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585280.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20211019171139-20211019201139-00155.warc.gz | en | 0.988916 | 196 | [

Learning from Courgettes
At the beginning of lockdown I planted some seeds: courgettes, tomatoes, nasturtiums and radish. It’s now about eight weeks later.
I’ve never grown anything from scratch before and I thought it would be a good idea to grow edible plants, giving fresh produce. I followed the instructions on the seed packets and waited, and waited. And waited, until I checked one morning and there was green stuff poking through the soil! YAY! I had to wait a little longer until they were strong enough to replant into bigger pots. Then waited again.
The leaves of the courgette plants grew, the whole plants grew larger, greener and flowers began budding. It will be soon time to plant them outside. All the plants are doing well. I have yet to plant them outside as I have to build a raised bed on my all decking small garden.
What I have I learnt from courgettes? It takes time and patience, regular watering and paying attention to what’s going on in the environment for them.
This is much the same as my business. I can’t perform at events at the moment so I have time to think, to reflect and wait. At the same instance I’m online looking at what is going on. Some businesses can “pivot” and sell online, or switch to meeting online. In the entertainment world some are creating videos, or performing virtual shows. I did attempt to do some videos but found the technical know how too baffling to me and perhaps I was too ambitious too early. I may come back to this later!
However I have been nurturing the seeds of an idea. I’ve been feeding it and learning about options and when it is ready I will be planting it out there for the everyone to see. Very soon I’ll be offering non-contact balloon deliveries to the local area around me. I’m strengthening the roots of the idea, educating myself as to industry procedure to keep myself and the customers safe. And experimenting with designs and taking photos of them.
Sometimes things take time and the wait will be worth it. I can see the results of my patience, diligent watering and care for the plants. I see the next stage imminent and so will have to protect my courgettes and other plants from the insects and birds in addition to the growing heat of the sun and blustering of the winds.
Please keep a look out for announcements when I will launch non-contact balloon deliveries. In the meantime I have to go and water my plants, and my ideas!

Achieving Great Art for Everyone: the CLA response to the Arts Council
20 April 2010
By 2021 we all know things will be different. The Arts Council has made some assumptions about what that will look like and the context in which the arts will operate. They’ve taken on board that we’ll have a new generation of ‘digital natives’ in the creative arts, our population will be different, climate change will be a priority and we’ve yet to see the fall-out from the recession.
In Achieving Great Art for Everyone they’ve then come up with a vision for the future and have set out five goals to achieve the Arts Council’s championing, developing and investing functions:
We’ve broadly welcomed the Arts Council’s view of how the future might look and their five goals for moving toward the future.Of course, we are particularly pleased that children and young people remain a priority for the Arts Council. We’ve suggested the Arts Council’s role should prioritise: advocacy to put arts learning at the heart of government policies, plans and strategies; investing in arts organisations that prioritise learning and work in partnership with others; ensuring arts leaders understand and value arts with and for children and young people; sharing and evaluating evidence; and working in partnership across culture to enable a coherent approach to cultural entitlement.But we’d like to see more about the development of young people’s talent in Goal 1. If the aim is to have a diverse pool of talent, then surely this starts by ensuring young people have opportunities to engage and develop their interests and talents. There should be better identification of talented young people and support for their development, and clearer progression routes into careers.We know from our consultation that workforce development and leadership are central to both growth and excellence. We’ve suggested the Arts Council’s leadership, investment and influence in this area should take into account workforce development for arts practitioners working in the learning sector. And we strongly support the embedding of leadership skills in education and learning, via the Arts Council’s leadership programmes.Finally, we strongly agree that the sector needs to work more closely together, with partners from the wider cultural sector and, in the case of arts learning, with the education sector. Our consultation identified working in partnership as the most effective way of delivering a better future offer for children and young people. This should involve – as the Arts Council has identified – better sharing of knowledge and a more connected approach to advocacy.
- Goal 1: Talent and artistic excellence are thriving and celebrated
- Goal 2: The arts leadership and workforce are diverse and highly skilled
- Goal 3: More people value and enjoy the arts
- Goal 4: Every child and young person has the opportunity to experience the richness of the arts
- Goal 5: The arts sector is sustainable, resilient and innovative | <urn:uuid:e9d35f45-24dc-4863-836b-8fa3efb9d094> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://culturallearningalliance.org.uk/achieving-great-art-for-everyone-the-cla-response-to-the-arts-council/ | 2021-10-21T04:45:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585381.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20211021040342-20211021070342-00235.warc.gz | en | 0.945797 | 594 | [

Thomas Leer, the scottish musician, born in 1953 in Port Glasgow, is one of the most eclectic artist of the so-called minimal wave scene. Alongside german singer Claudia Brücken (vocalist of the hit-makers Propaganda) he formed Act a short-lived synthpop group signed to ZTT Records in the late eighties. Licensed by Cherry Red in 1982, the double album ‘Contradictions’ is the third effort in Leer high and rising career. After the seminal debut on Industrial Records with Robert Rental – The Bridge (1979) – Leer ventured on a solo career with the brave synth wave of ‘Letter From America’ and his personal masterpiece ‘Contradictions’.
The latter is such an enigmatic piece of work, with alien melodies as in the case of the ‘Soul Gypsy’ infectious white funk. The whole album was recorded in his living room at home onto 4-track using borrowed equipment ( Korg synth, Ult-sound drum computer & guitars ) from his friend Morgan Fisher. Featuring Leer’s haunting, uncertain vocal – recorded quietly, so as not to wake his girlfriend in their bedsit! – crooning over a minimal bass pulse and discreet whines and washes of primitive Wasp synthesiser, it retains its peculiar lo-fi magic four decades on. | <urn:uuid:7ea637d4-b3f5-46de-8810-44da982dcfbd> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.soundohm.com/product/contradictions-2lp | 2021-10-21T04:32:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585381.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20211021040342-20211021070342-00235.warc.gz | en | 0.951461 | 283 | [

MADRID, Spain (CNN) — A document published months before national elections reveals al Qaeda planned to separate Spain from its allies by carrying out terror attacks.
A December posting on a Internet message board used by al Qaeda and its sympathizers and obtained by CNN, spells out a plan to topple the pro-U.S. government.
“We think the Spanish government will not stand more than two blows, or three at the most, before it will be forced to withdraw because of the public pressure on it,” the al Qaeda document says.
“If its forces remain after these blows, the victory of the Socialist Party will be almost guaranteed — and the withdrawal of Spanish forces will be on its campaign manifesto.”
That prediction came to fruition in elections Sunday, with the Socialists unseating the Popular Party three days after near-simultaneous bombings of four trains killed 200 and shocked the nation.
Ninety percent of Spaniards had opposed Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar’s staunch support for the U.S.-led war against Iraq, and some have blamed his government’s policies for the train bombings.
Prime Minister-elect Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said Monday he wants the 1,300 Spanish troops in Iraq to return home by June 30 if the United Nations “doesn’t take control of Iraq.”
“I think Spain’s participation in the war has been a total error,” he said. (Full story)
Meanwhile, one of the five men arrested in connection with the bombings has links to the plotters of an al Qaeda-linked bombing in Casablanca last year, CNN has learned.
The May 2003 suicide attacks in Casablanca killed nearly three dozen people.
Spanish authorities have arrested three Moroccans and two Indians in connection with the Madrid bombings.
One of the men, Jamal Zougam, 30, has ties to two brothers who have been charged in connection with the Casablanca bomb plot, according to a Moroccan government official.
Zougam is also believed to be a follower of Imad Eddin Barakat Yarkas, the alleged ringleader of al Qaeda in Spain, according to a Spanish court document.
All five are being held incommunicado under Spain’s anti-terrorism law, which requires they be charged within five days of their detention.
Authorities said investigators tracked the men through a cellular telephone and a pre-paid telephone card discovered in a backpack containing explosives found shortly after Thursday’s attacks.
Helping the investigation is a videotape in which a man claiming to be a military spokesman for al Qaeda in Europe says the terrorist network was behind the bombings.
In the United States, Asa Hutchinson, the undersecretary for the Department of Homeland Security, said they thought the Madrid bombings had the fingerprints of al Qaeda.
“We do know that there is a connection to al Qaeda. We have verified that,” he told CNN.
“At this point, there clearly is some link and we’re going to continue to see the depth of that.”
However, another administration official would only say Islamic fundamentalists remain high on the list of suspects.
“Things are slightly leaning towards Islamic fundamentalist responsibility, as opposed to pure ETA or al Qaeda,” one senior administration official said.
ETA is a Basque separatist group that has been fighting for more than three decades for an independent state. The group is designated a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union.
The U.S. intelligence community is considering the possibility the bombings may have been carried out by a number of people with various ties to terrorist groups, the senior administration official said, adding theories include the following possibilities:
Islamic fundamentalists with support from ETA;
Islamic fundamentalists with close ties to al Qaeda, although not necessarily “card-carrying members of al Qaeda”; or,
Members of ETA or al Qaeda.
In the wake of the bombings, Spanish Interior Minister Angel Acebes announced Monday that a European Union anti-terrorist conference will be held Friday in Madrid. (Full story)
U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said he was confident Spain would continue to play a significant role in the war on terrorism.
“Terrorism has to be defeated,” he said.
“I don’t think the Spanish people are any more inclined to give any encouragement to terrorists or to give terrorists the slightest impression that they are not going to be engaged fully by the Spanish government — no matter who is prime minister.”
Powell added that he was not sure if the Madrid bombings affected the outcome of Sunday’s elections: “But the one thing I’m quite sure of is that Spanish people remain committed in the war against terrorists.” | <urn:uuid:e84fbcd5-603b-47b6-a8f6-735ec637974c> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://americanintelligence.us/al-qaeda-planned-to-split-spain-from-allies/ | 2021-10-22T16:13:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585516.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20211022145907-20211022175907-00315.warc.gz | en | 0.962623 | 1,009 | [

Wings were ordered, pizza delivered, and parties started. The Super Bowl was upon us. The Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers faced off at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida.
The game started out fairly slow as the Chiefs got the ball first and quickly punted after a three-and-out.
Shortly after, the 49ers struck gold, converting a field goal on their opening drive. Rookie wideout Deebo Samuel had the most important play of the drive. He ran an end-around run for 32 yards on 1st & 10, moving the chains to the Chiefs 40-yard line.
Kansas City answered on their second drive. Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes punched the ball in on a one-yard QB sneak putting the Chiefs up 7-3.
On San Fran’s next drive, the Kansas City defense showed up. On the third play of the drive, quarterback Jimmy Garropolo was intercepted by cornerback Bashaud Breeland. The pick was primarily caused by pressure stemming from the Chiefs defensive line. Defensive tackles Chris Jones and Mike Pennel got after Garropolo, causing him to float the ball right into the arms of Breeland.
The fireworks had just begun as the following play was incredible. Mahomes zipped the ball up to wideout Sammy Watkins, who snagged it for a catch that netted the Chiefs 28 yards and got them to the 49ers 28-yard line. Mahomes was even pressured on the throw by Nick Bosa, but it didn’t matter. UNCG student Conlan Sherman told me that he believes that “[Watkins] is proving he can be the wide receiver he was going to be before the injury.”
The drive ended with a field goal extending the Kansas City lead 10-3.
The next score was provided by fullback Kyle Juszczyk. Garropolo shot a quick pass to him for a 15-yard touchdown tying the score 10-10.
The second half began and San Francisco started quickly. They scored a field goal to make it 13-10. Shortly after, linebacker Fred Warner got in front of receiver Tyreek Hill and picked off Patrick Mahomes to give the ball back to the Niner offense.
Running back Raheem Mostert punched the pigskin in from one yard out to put the 49ers in front 20-10.
The Chiefs were in a hole for the third game in a row. Doubt started to emerge as San Fran had seized momentum. It appeared all but over after the 49ers got another interception on the next drive. Safety Tarvarious Moore got his mitts on the ball after it deflected off of Tyreek Hill’s hands. Hill had a very up-and-down game. While he had nine catches for 105 yards, both of Mahomes’ interceptions involved him.
Unfortunately for San Francisco, Patrick Mahomes is not one to go out without a fight. After a 49ers punt, Mahomes launched an absolute rocket 44 yards downfield to Tyreek Hill. Tight end Travis Kelce finally got his moment as well, as he caught a one-yard touchdown pass to bring the score up to 20-17.
The 49ers went three-and-out on their next drive and the whole nation could feel the shift in momentum. The FOX camera crews captured the stunned looks on the San Francisco sideline as they wondered if the Chiefs could successfully come back from ten down to win the Super Bowl.
With the momentum on their side, the Chiefs quickly drove downfield and scored another touchdown. Running back Damien Williams reached paydirt via a Patrick Mahomes pass putting Kansas City ahead 24-20.
The Niners lost it on downs on their next possession. Predictably, the Kansas City Chiefs scored once again. Damien Williams’ 38-yard run put the Chiefs ahead once and for all 31-20.
To top it off, the Chiefs defense got a game-sealing interception on San Francisco’s last drive, thanks to cornerback Kendall Fuller.
Patrick Mahomes won the MVP and was hailed as the primary reason the Chiefs were able to come from behind and capture their first Super Bowl in 50 years. However, he did not have the best game. In a post-game interview, Mahomes said “The third quarter didn’t go the way I wanted it to,” according to ESPN. He said he “tried to force some things and got some turnovers. But the guys believed in me and gave me the confidence to try and find my way at the end.”
In totality, it was a great Super Bowl. It was exciting at the end and the world got to see what Patrick Mahomes can do best — obtain come-from-behind victories. | <urn:uuid:e36b6556-2345-4046-a363-9eee594c7819> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://carolinianuncg.com/2020/02/07/super-bowl-recap-chiefs-rally-against-49ers-in-miami-for-lombardi/ | 2021-10-22T17:09:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585516.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20211022145907-20211022175907-00315.warc.gz | en | 0.973115 | 986 | [

Clothing and dance weave through this fevered dream, where one’s self crosses many thresholds to come out newly shaped and formed.
Identity, gender and fashion know no bounds, where one’s stumble towards self expression becomes just part of the dance.

Atlantis welcomes Shaunae home in style
Paradise Island, Bahamas – Atlantis, Paradise Island laid out the royal treatment for Olympic gold medalist Shaunae Miller as she returned to Bahamian soil following her 400m triumph at the 2016 games held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Complete with red carpet and greetings featuring Junkanoo music from a host of employees excited to get a glimpse of the newest Bahamian icon, Miller was met outside the Royal Towers Lobby by Senior Vice President and GM attached to the Royal Towers, Stuart Bowe.
Surprised by the reception, Miller said the love shown by Atlantis was an amazing feeling. “I’m still trying to take it all in, but I’m really very happy right now. This is a very beautiful hotel and I feel really blessed.”
The track star was treated to a 2-night stay in a Royal Towers Suite. | <urn:uuid:ed020012-8962-43a9-948c-a0b45ad71628> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://bahamaspress.com/btc-olympian-shaunae-miller-on-red-carpet-at-atlantis/ | 2021-10-25T13:01:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587711.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20211025123123-20211025153123-00475.warc.gz | en | 0.95545 | 190 | [

Entrepreneurs if you are looking for a few fundamental tips to sustain and grow your business look no further. These things might seem simple and obvious, but a disciplined approach to just these few things can have a huge affect on your business.
- Plan for the future a few minutes each day.
- Work on your marketing in some aspect every day to get new customers.
- Work on closing a sale every single day.
- Develop and strengthen your business network.
- Contact your current customers.
Even if you aren't an entrepreneur, these few steps can have a huge impact on individuals. Realize you are a business!
- Plan for the future a few minutes each day. Where will you be in 5 years? What will you do next week? What are you going to do this afternoon?
- Work on your marketing in some aspect every day to get new customers. Every person is a brand. How are you developing and building your brand? What does your Facebook page look like? What are you tweeting?
- Work on closing a sale every single day. If you don't have a job, apply every day. Adjust your resume for the job announcement. If you are applying for school, make sure you are being true to yourself, but also showing how you will be an asset to the school.
- Develop and strengthen your business network. Network, Network, Network. But don't forget, you probably already know who you need to get to where you want to be (see The Power of Who).
- Contact your current customers. Stay in contact with your friends and family. They will always be there for you. | <urn:uuid:792c7623-7b5c-4e55-81a5-b192c7ccd8e0> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://progreshion.ceoblognation.com/2010/10/09/entrepreneurs-only-5-things-you-must-do-every-day-to-build-your-business/ | 2021-10-25T13:17:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587711.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20211025123123-20211025153123-00475.warc.gz | en | 0.966188 | 336 | [

Want To Join Us?
So you want to be a part of Goulais Fire & Rescue?
Thank you for taking the time to consider becoming a volunteer firefighter. This volunteer position will be different from any other that you have had before. Being a member of Goulais Fire & Rescue takes a lot of time and commitment. We respond to about 190 emergency calls per year and train once per week. We also participate in special events such as Community Days and Fire Prevention Week.
Goulais Fire and Rescue Volunteers was founded over 30 years ago, and its members have worked for countless hours to build this organization into what it is today. We are a very proud group, and hope that our new members will carry on that tradition.
Unlike many other organizations we cannot offer a high paying salary and good benefit package. We also have developed the Firefighter Retention Program, which reimburses our members for their out of pocket expenses (gas). Everything else that you give to this organization is free of charge. In return for your time we offer you hours of valuable training and the opportunity to serve your community. All of the training costs are paid for by the Fire Department. We also provide our members with all of the required equipment to do the job right.
Maybe fighting fires isn’t for you. We have other opportunities within our organization that could be better suited to your needs. We are always looking for more help with delivering fire prevention information and operating our special events.
Goulais Fire and Rescue is a great place to be a member, but it is not a social club. If you are just looking for a night out, this is not the place! There are many other volunteer agencies that can offer you that kind of environment. If you want to make a difference and save lives, you might be just who we are looking for. Read on to see the expectations of our membership. | <urn:uuid:46cfb55b-7723-4c8b-b9e3-289da7549f5c> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.goulaisfire.com/join | 2021-10-25T14:50:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587711.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20211025123123-20211025153123-00475.warc.gz | en | 0.973162 | 386 | [

Psoriasis & Eczema etc.
TREATMENT – First we have to try to remove the causes if possible. So we have to know about the causes of Alopecia. After that, the question of Medication comes. I can’t say much about the Allopathic treatment. But I have seen a big number of patients are not improved by their treatment. We also can’t cure all the cases of Alopecia dramatically.
But the advantage of Advanced Homoeopathy is after removing the cause we can treat & cure alopecia in spite of the ringworm fungal infection, psoriasis & eczema, thyroiditis. As there is no specific medicine in Alopecia in the Homoeopathic system, it can cure covering all the curable causes at a time & automatically immunity will develop and subsequently Ringworm, fungal infection, psoriasis, eczema, dandruff will be controlled. Another advantage is that if we by chance cant diagnose the cause then also our medicine will work and decrease the intensity of the above diseases rapidly. The selected medicine can cure all types of Alopecia removing the cause. | <urn:uuid:a034b50b-e150-4793-98de-20ec1dab2d11> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | http://www.dramaityimmunetherapy.com/scalp-disease-and-treatment/ | 2021-10-28T11:30:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588284.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20211028100619-20211028130619-00635.warc.gz | en | 0.902559 | 244 | [

Small mid-20th century collectable ceremonial/festival RABARI tribal IDANI (head pad) covered in symbolic and collectable cowrie shells. Hand stitched, cotton plus wool Pom poms.
Collected from Great Rann of Kutch, Gujarat, India. 12cm diameter circular head pad. 30cm total length including tail.
An IDANI is used on the head by women to carry water, firewood or other heavy objects. Highly decorated ones such as this may have been used for ceremonial or special occasions.
A striking and very unique piece for a collector of tribal clothing, hats/caps/headwear and makes a wonderful display item.
I purchased this IDANI from a third generation textile collector and trader at his home on the outskirts of Bhuj. | <urn:uuid:d4446d23-ed66-49c0-871a-3be0428b52a9> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://adventuress.com.au/collections/traditional-tribal-clothing/products/rabari-tribal-idani-head-pad-rann-of-kutch-gujarat-india | 2021-10-28T12:06:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588284.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20211028100619-20211028130619-00635.warc.gz | en | 0.912671 | 162 | [

Choosing great read-aloud chapter books for first graders can bridge the gap between picture books and novels. Six through eight-year-olds have all the imagination and energy of younger kids, but are starting to read well on their own too. As parents and teachers encourage independent reading, it’s easy to forget how reading aloud with these kids is still beneficial.
Best First Grade Read-Aloud Chapter Books
The BFG by Roald Dahl
Roald Dahl is known for his wild imagination and ability to write stories that kids love. While many of his books are great read-alouds, The BFG is one of the best early chapter books for first graders because it combines humor, wacky words, and an adventurous tale of friendship.
Since the main character, Sophie, is obviously British, you can have fun reading her lines in a British accent. The BFG, or Big Friendly Giant, speaks his own version of English creating all kinds of opportunities for you to say silly words as you read out loud.
Fortunately the Milk by Neil Gaiman
Bestselling author and storyteller Neil Gaiman gets kids laughing in his crazy adventure Fortunately the Milk. The quick pace and nonsensical tone paired with quirky drawings by Scottie Young make this a must-read for every first grader. The story starts with kids needing milk for their cereal and develops into an unbelievable story about the adventure their dad had while getting milk from the store.
Ivy + Bean Series by Annie Barrows
Featuring two seven-year-old female main characters, the Ivy + Bean series by Annie Barrows is full of wacky antics and disasters. Ivy is quiet, but imaginative, while Bean is loud and wild. Their parents keep trying to get them to be friends, but the girls just don’t see each other’s appeal at first.
Most kids can relate to these characters and their adventures, making all the books in the series fun to read out loud. There are over 10 books in the series in all.
Junie B. Jones Series by Barbara Park
Although she’s been around for over 20 years, Junie B. Jones continues to be a favorite character, especially among first graders. Early books from the series start with Junie as a kindergartener, but you can find more than 10 later books with her as a first grader that seven-year-old boys and girls can relate to.
Junie doesn’t always speak proper English and is a known trouble-maker, often accidentally. You and your children will have plenty of fun with these chapter books to read to first graders.
Mercy Watson Series by Kate DiCamillo
Beloved children’s author Kate DiCamillo doesn’t disappoint kids or adults with her newer Mercy Watson series, which includes over five books. Mercy is a pet pig who’s full of energy and causes havoc from time to time. Mercy’s owners, the Watson family, treat her like a child. So, she acts like one.
The short chapters in these early chapter books for first graders, paired with Mercy’s natural charm and illustrations by Chris Van Dusen, make it a wildly popular read-aloud choice.
The Princess in Black Series by Shannon Hale and Dean Hale
Princess Magnolia isn’t your average dainty little girl. She’s got a secret identity as “The Princess in Black,” solving mysteries and saving the world in her all-black disguise. The Princess in Black series includes over five books and is illustrated by LeUyen Pham, so you can show pictures as you read out loud. The clever and sometimes ironic text appeals to both the kids and adults reading the book.
The Chicken Squad Series by Doreen Cronin
Fans of the great read-aloud picture book Click Clack Moo will love the chance to read all six books in The Chicken Squad series by the same author, Doreen Cronin. With names like Dirt, Sugar, Poppy, and Sweetie, it’s no wonder first graders love these chick detectives. Each character in the series has a big personality, which makes the story fun to read out loud. Illustrations by Kevin Cornell help sell the story to younger readers who still crave pictures.
Why Reading Aloud to First Graders Is Important
Common Core Standards for first grade indicate kids at this age should be learning how to read independently, retell key details of stories through reading comprehension, and describe characters, setting, events, and the narrator. When you read aloud to six, seven, or eight-year-olds, or have them read aloud to you, it’s easy to point out these story elements as you go.
By reading aloud with kids who are just starting out in their reading adventure, you can model things like reading for pleasure by getting imaginative and expressive with your read-alouds. Kids can associate reading with fun, rather than just for school or homework purposes.
How to Choose Great Read-Aloud Chapter Books
Choosing great chapter books to read to first graders starts with including kids in the selection process. Introduce them to some different characters or plots to see which sound most enticing to them.
Elements of great read-aloud chapter books for this age group include:
- Characters who are the same age or in the same grade
- Lots of humor
- Wacky real or invented words throughout
- Fun adventures
- Approximately 100 pages or less
- Some illustrations
Read Loud and Proud
Whether the kids are reading, the adults are reading, or both, reading chapter books out loud is the next step after kids start learning to read on their own. Check out suggestions from reading experts like Scholastic’s 100 best read-aloud books list or the best read-aloud books voted on by Goodreads readers for even more ideas.

Whenever I get an opportunity to visit a used book store I always take it. I'm currently in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island taking in the wonderful art galleries and crafts shops. The work here is exceptional and second to none. I highly recommend a visit to the island. While walking down Queen Street I found a wonderful used book store called The Book Emporium. My focus is on old out of print books, especially ones on techniques that offer lost insights. One such bit of information is as true today as it was when the old masters created their exceptional art. This method was taught to me while I was in art school and I felt it was worth repeating. We often forget our earliest lessons.
1. Always use the simplest ingredients possible. Use the best quality and make sure the purity is beyond doubt.
2. Use as little dryer as possible.
3. Begin a picture 'lean' and finish 'fat'. Less oil in the first layer, the less danger of cracking.
4. Two thin coats are usually better than one thick.
5. Be sure your paint is completely dry before painting over it. The under coat will contract as the drying process occurs and crack the top coat.
6. If the paint does not take or stick well, rub the surface with a fine sandpaper or other substance to roughen it to create a tooth.
7. Never use more medium or liquid than is necessary. The colors will stay fresh and luminous when left alone. When fully dry, protect the colors with a quality varnish. | <urn:uuid:350f3107-3133-42b5-b866-6a27d0edd064> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | http://www.fineartistsworldgallery.com/art-talk-gallery-blog/archives/09-2013 | 2021-10-17T00:18:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585045.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016231019-20211017021019-00275.warc.gz | en | 0.958946 | 330 | [

These are the people who can expect coverage under your homeowners insurance policy.
While you have home insurance in Long Island City, New York, you might not know all of the specifics about your policy. For instance, you might not know exactly who your policy extends coverage to. To clarify, here are the individuals who are typically included and excluded from coverage under a homeowners insurance policy.
When reviewing your home insurance policy, there is normally a definition of the individuals who are insured. Generally, policies specify that the named insured is covered along with their spouse or domestic partner (through common law or marriage). Additionally, the dependent children of the insured are also covered while they are living at home. If you would like to extend coverage to other individuals not included in your policy’s definition, then speak to your insurance agent. You can potentially extend coverage to others by specifically listing them in your policy.
Relatives who are not included in the definition of the insured are not covered by your homeowners insurance. This also goes for temporary house guests and roommates not listed in your policy. Domestic help, such as maids, nannies, or housekeepers, are also not covered under a standard homeowners insurance policy.
These are the individuals that you can expect to be covered under your homeowners policy. Do you have additional questions regarding your home insurance in Long Island City, New York? If so, then don’t hesitate to contact us at 01 Insurance. Our dedicated team is eager to assist you with all your coverage needs today. | <urn:uuid:ed3df94d-74a9-4f56-b811-070662698fd1> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://01insurance.com/blog/who-does-my-homeowners-insurance-cover/ | 2021-10-18T10:13:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585201.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20211018093606-20211018123606-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.971047 | 309 | [

Perhaps it is a throwback to childhood, but summer always seems to go by faster than other seasons. And this summer is no exception. Sunflowers are blooming, daisies are beaming, lawn mowers are mowing. It seems everywhere you look, summer is well along when in my mind, the buds have just pushed and daffodils were in bloom. July 4th came and went already when it seems like we just had Memorial Day. Before you know it, we will be back to school.
You may still be away from the long Fourth of July weekend or enjoying a shorter work week if you are back. Just prior, a lot happened last week and some this and since there was no Weekly Roundup last week, we are coving two weeks. Here is some of what I found interesting:
- FDA Launches Oncology Center of Excellence – Both public and private institutions are in the process of responding to President Obama’s “Cancer Moonshot” announced in this year’s State of the Union message and headed by Vice President Biden. The gist of the effort is to better coordinate resources focused on cancer treatment and research to effect outcomes more quickly by concentrating efforts across the board. As part of its response this week FDA named Dr. Richard Pazdur as the Acting Head of FDA’s Oncology Center of Excellence (OCE). According to the agency release, Dr. Pazdur will be working to bring closer collaboration across the FDA centers (devices, biologics, drugs) to develop greater coordination and review of new advances. In his blog posting on the topic, Dr. Pazdur also stressed that the effort will also engage outside FDA as well, ensuring that patients have a voice. Many aspects of Dr. Pazdur’s professional experience and personal life went into the choice. While often FDA communications are in FDA-speak, you can read a very nice 2016 New York Times article about him here.
- FDA Chips in to Move the Needle in Precision Medicine – In his 2015 State of the Union message President Obama launched the Precision Medicine Initiative aimed at speeding up the process by which we would be able to deliver therapies for patients that are determined to be the right ones rather than treatment by trial and error. Fundamental to success in that goal is the development of genetic testing. There are many moving parts, but this week FDA added a contribution with the announcement that the agency was issuing two guidance documents to provide a “streamlined approach” for oversight of genetic testing. According to FDA’s release, new sequencing technologies will allow for the examination of millions of DNA variants at a time, rather than taking a more piecemeal approach. NIH urged researchers to adopt the best practices outlined in the draft guidance documents which the release states were developed to enhance test development while maintaining safety. The two draft guidance documents can be found here and here.
- Zika, NIH and the Olympics – A lot is being written, and a lot more is likely to be written, about Zika and the upcoming Olympics in Brazil. This week NIH announced that it was funding a Zika study of the U.S. Olympic team to monitor potential infections among them. The stated goal of the study is to better understand how the virus persists in the human body as well as to identify personal factors that may influence the course of the infection. In another Zika development, FDA announced an Emergency Use Authorization for an In Vitro diagnostic device for use in the detection of Zika virus.
There is more of interest, but that’s it for me this week folks. Next week I will provide you with an update on what FDA had to say during the first half of 2016 and how it compares to other years. Until then, have a good weekend! | <urn:uuid:b602ccda-bf35-4e07-a41e-9b172f29b220> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | http://eyeonfda.com/2016/07/weekly-roundup-7-8-16/ | 2021-10-21T09:33:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585382.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20211021071407-20211021101407-00515.warc.gz | en | 0.974507 | 776 | [

QBronze38 | Quantum Computing and Programming | November 2-6, 2020
We, as QCousins, are organizing many QBronze workshops as a part of QWorldChallenge 2020 Autumn Edition.
QPakistan is inviting university and graduate students to learn the basics of quantum computing and how to write simple quantum programs.
The workshop will be held online in Pakistan between 6:30pm and 9:30pm from November 2 and 6, and there is no registration fee. During the workshop, we will use the introductory tutorial Bronze by QWorld. The event will be in English. We will use the Discord to conduct the workshop and we will have daily Zoom meetings. An informal installation and introduction session will occur on Sunday, November 1.
Each session will start with a 40 minute talk from a faculty member relevant to Bronze topics followed be a Q&A session. Participants will then break away to work independently on the programming exercises. Mentors will be available to answer queries. Each session will end with a review of the progress and questions of the day.
Diplomas will be awarded based on satisfactory evidence of completion of the programming exercises.
The participants are expected to work individually at least 16 hours to complete the following sections of Bronze: basics of classical systems, basics of quantum systems, basic quantum operators, quantum correlation and quantum protocols, and quantum search algorithm.
The tutorial is a collection of Jupyter notebooks, and each notebook has a recorded lecture. We use python to solve the tasks and Qiskit library to code quantum programs. The participants should know at least one programming language, and they should make themselves familiar with Python before the workshop if they do not know Python.
The applications are closed.
You can apply for Global Quantum Programming Workshop on November 23-28, 2020.

A primary teaching of the North Direction is detachment. We detach each night when we fall asleep, yet many indigenous cultures say that the dream time is the real time where the ones who dreamed us seven generations ago can guide us and show us the way through our dreams. Several years ago when I was attending men’s groups and “healing the male wound”, I read many books – “Iron John”, “King Warrior, Magician and Lover” and the book “the flying boy”, which alludes to our unabashed dreams when we were young. We have to inflate to get off the ground. What hopes and dreams did you have in youth that are up in ashes. These are the times to look at where we are going – what seeds from the dreams can we plant that can take root? Nature teaches out of the death comes new life – Out of the ashes comes the fire bird, or the resurrection of spirit. Our breath is our first gift, so our first prayer is “thank you for the breath of life”. Life breathes us when we let go of wants, needs and holding on to old patterns that no longer serve us. In 12 step recovery, we pray for the willingness to let go…absolutely to what binds us. When we are in the “zone”, our life flows with ease and grace. When we struggle, we look at where we are holding on to old ideas that might have helped us survive, but restrict our actualizing our true destinies.
Playing the flute has taught me that my songs are in my heart, and inspiration and imagination light the creative fires of the east. The drum keeps me grounded in the humus of mother earth – planted as the tree.
Tonight begins our seven week series on “The Teachings of the North”. The animals associated with that direction are the bald eagle, the buffalo and the horse. Hummingbird is in the north direction on the Inca medicine wheel, and teaches us to trust our deep wisdom that is in our gut and heart. Willingness is a key – suit up and show up. Hope to see you tonight!
This Wednesday is mixed drumming, so hope to see my extended family for Ceremony, sharing and play!

I almost titled this one “Red Letter Day for the NEA,” which would have been just as apropos. This week both Florida Governor Charlie Crist and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan put on undistinguished displays of craven opportunism when, at telling moments, they wilted and opted to preen for easy applause from the cheap seats.
The result: Two big wins for the NEA and two substantial setbacks for those who believe we need to rethink teacher tenure, evaluation, and pay, or those who believe K-12 schooling needs to stop beggaring bucks from the kids we’re supposed to serve.
The big news yesterday was Florida Governor Charlie Crist’s decision to veto Senate Bill 6. While Sherman Dorn and other commenters on my Tuesday post fairly flagged reasonable concerns about the test-fueled rigidity of this ambitious but unfortunately heavy-handed legislation, I thought the bill a crucial opportunity to start reimagining teacher tenure and pay. The right move was for Crist to sign it, with the understanding that the legislature would take the next year or two to address some of the concerns about the single-minded focus on test results, reliability, validity, sample size, and test construction.
Unfortunately, in the face of bitter pressure from the Florida Education Association, Crist folded like a cheap suit. After a week of finger-in-the-wind waffling, he gave the NEA cause for another happy dance. NEA President Dennis Van Roekel crowed, “I commend Governor Crist for vetoing SB 6 and ensuring that this harmful and disruptive legislation did not become law...We look forward to working with him in our mission to ensure great public schools for every student.” I need someone to explain to me how industrial-era wage models and lifelong sinecure for mediocre teachers are good for either educators or kids, and would dearly love to see Van Roekel’s preferred alternative legislation. Sigh...
This outcome will likely aggravate concerns about the mixed message the U.S. Department of Education sent when it touted the importance of union buy-in with the round one Race to the Top winners. It means that many eyes will turn to Colorado, where all-star freshman State Senator Mike Johnston’s bill now becomes the nation’s best shot for a legislative breakthrough on teacher quality this year. Meanwhile, smart money figures this signals that Crist, getting hammered by conservative challenger Marco Rubio in the GOP Senate primary, has thrown in the towel and will likely run as an independent in the fall. And, there’s speculation that Crist’s move might prompt former Governor Jeb Bush, who’s stayed neutral in the primary thus far, to publicly embrace Rubio. Final thought on Florida: as my pal Mike Petrilli has discussed, it’s a fascinating turn of events when Florida’s Democratic legislators can split on a voucher bill and then unanimously oppose a bill on teacher pay and tenure.
In the interest of space, let’s tackle ED later today.

Through the call records, supervisors and administrators can group calls by account code for the purpose of call costing and tracking. Supervisors and administrators can also restrict outgoing calls by requiring users to enter valid account codes.
The system stores a list of valid account code numbers. When making a call or during the call, a user can enter the account code they want associated with that call. The system checks the account code against the list of valid codes and requests the user to reenter the code if it is not valid. For incoming calls, the Caller ID can be used to match it with an account code from the list of valid codes and report the account code with the call for billing.
Supervisors and administrators can designate users to use a forced account code requiring them to enter a valid account code before making external calls. Using short codes it is possible to identify certain numbers or call types as requiring a valid account code before permitting the call to proceed, for example long distance or international numbers. Analog phone users can only enter account codes before making a call or in response to an audible system prompt to enter a code when making the call.
Account codes can also be entered through the Avaya one-X™ Portal for IP Office and Phone Manager. A system wide setting determines whether Phone Manager will display a list of account codes from which the user can select the code required or will hide the account code list.
In all the cases above, the account code entered is included with the call details in the IP Office’s call record output.

Here are some more pics of my car after a fresh tint job that I just got about an hour ago and man do i love it! It looks sooo good with silver exterior on the black interior . It is 26% on the front and 16% on the back, which are florida's limits. I tried to get the guy to go lower, but he wouldnt do it. I am now kind of glad I didn't because I really like this shade. Anyway, hope you enjoy. Ooh, I also got a strip across the top that is really nice for protecting your eyes when you have sun in your face, It also gives it a good look too 8) ! | <urn:uuid:46a5c676-4514-478b-82d1-a03c4c72b720> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.mazda3forums.com/threads/more-pics-of-the-car-with-a-newly-added-addition.202976/ | 2021-10-25T20:00:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587767.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20211025185311-20211025215311-00035.warc.gz | en | 0.982484 | 140 | [

Hi there! This is Camy Tang, and today I get to guest blog on Ronie’s blog!
Ronie wanted me to talk a bit about my suspense writing. Many of you know that my first three books are humorous contemporary romance, the Sushi series. So how did I go from crazy extended families to dead bodies?
(Although some could argue that crazy extended families can be the cause of the dead bodies—I’m sure there has been more than one homicidal thought during a family get-together!)
While I admit that writing humor has always come naturally to me, I tend to read a lot of suspense. So when I first started writing seriously, I wrote one humorous manuscript (my ill-fated “The Corinthian Rules” manuscript which was truly barf-worthy looking back at it). But then I wrote a suspense manuscript.
Yup! It was called “Furious Dragon,” later changed to “Bitter Dragon” (slightly less violent choice of words). Not many people know about it, but the blurb was up on my website for a while.
“Bitter Dragon” was the first book in a proposed “Fists of Legend” suspense series (a play off of a Bruce Lee movie). Here’s the series blurb:
When their unscrupulous aunt dies, three sisters trained in Chinese martial arts are embroiled in the illegal human cloning operation of a powerful international Asian group called the Septet. Only Erika, Lena and Miriya Fong have the inside knowledge and physical prowess to survey, infiltrate and destroy this corporation harvesting fetal tissue for disease therapy.
Here’s the little-known blurb for “Bitter Dragon”:
Although trained in Chinese martial arts, physical therapist Erika Fong prefers sparring at the kickboxing gym, where the competition allows her to prove her personal worth. She’s not ashamed to admit relief when her despised Aunt Alice slips in the bathtub and dies, but her aunt’s lawyer reveals a surprise inheritance for Erika, her most hated niece—a large sum of money no one knew Alice possessed.
Erika discovers her aunt’s death wasn’t an accident, and that Alice had been in negotiations with Bram Thorson of Thorson Therapeutics, an illegal human cloning company. She narrowly escapes attempts on her life as she races to expose the operation. She is first protected, then betrayed by a mysterious man named Braden, who is somehow embroiled in Thorson’s agenda.
Bram Thorson will stop at nothing to acquire the money that should be his, and unknown to Erika, he has an ace up his sleeve . . . one of her sisters.
Camy here: “Bitter Dragon” won first place in the suspense category of the ACFW Noble Theme contest, now called the Genesis contest, which I coordinate. 🙂 I started coordinating the contest the year after I won the Noble Theme.
I ended up selling my chick lit Sushi series to Zondervan, and so “Bitter Dragon” was relegated to the dust bunnies under my bed.
So when I had a chance to submit a romantic suspense to Steeple Hill’s Love Inspired Suspense line, I jumped at the chance. I did my homework and studied the line, so I knew that the storyline of “Bitter Dragon” was not appropriate for Love Inspired Suspense, but I came up with another three sisters—Naomi, Rachel, and Monica Grant, whose father owns the Joy Luck Life spa in Sonoma, California. And while there isn’t an Asian triad or fetal organ harvesting, there are a few dead bodies to liven the party up.
Funny how things come full circle, isn’t it?
Thanks for having me on your blog, Ronie!
The Grant family’s exclusive Sonoma spa is a place for rest and relaxation—not murder! Then Naomi Grant finds her client Jessica Ortiz bleeding to death in her massage room, and everything falls apart. The salon’s reputation is at stake…and so is Naomi’s freedom when she discovers that she is one of the main suspects! Her only solace is found with the other suspect—Dr. Devon Knightley, the victim’s ex-husband. But Devon is hiding secrets of his own. When they come to light, where can Naomi turn…and whom can she trust?
Camy Tang writes romance with a kick of wasabi. She used to be a biologist, but now she is a staff worker for her church youth group and leads a worship team for Sunday service. She also runs the Story Sensei fiction critique service. On her blog, she gives away Christian novels every week, and she ponders frivolous things like dumb dogs (namely, hers), coffee-geek husbands (no resemblance to her own…), the writing journey, Asiana, and anything else that comes to mind. Visit her website at http://www.camytang.com/ for a huge website contest going on right now, giving away fourteen boxes of books and 24 copies of her latest release, DEADLY INTENT. | <urn:uuid:8f624387-1b4e-4bb1-a1aa-58284400c76d> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | http://roniekendig.com/loud-asian-chick-guest-blogs-oorah-d/ | 2021-10-27T06:40:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588102.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20211027053727-20211027083727-00115.warc.gz | en | 0.955359 | 1,096 | [

HOW TO GET A FULL DEPOSIT REFUND: Tip #1 - Picture Hanging Do's and Dont's
We often get asked by our residents - "how can get my full deposit refunded after I move out?" This ongoing series will tell you how! First up - Picture Hanging Do's and Dont's.
You've just moved into your new place. What's the first thing you want to do after stocking the fridge and paying the movers? Decorate!
According to all Apple leases, no nails or screws can go into the walls, as they leave holes behind long after the art is removed. So how can you decorate your hip new place without causing damage? We highly recommend command hooks!
These hooks can hold various amounts of weight and are easy to remove. They won't leave holes behind and are unlikely to damage the paint.
Command hooks do more than just hang your home decor. Check out this article for ways to use them around your home: http://diply.com/patriot/article/genius-command-hook-hacks | <urn:uuid:16f6f32b-a138-495e-b56d-d149681a3331> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.applerealty.com/single-post/2017/02/07/how-to-get-a-full-deposit-refund-tip-1-picture-hanging-dos-and-donts | 2021-10-27T07:55:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588102.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20211027053727-20211027083727-00115.warc.gz | en | 0.948369 | 226 | [

Here we have a detailed explanation of the workings of the human digestive tract, how most of us can expect it to deteriorate with age, and what we can do as self help.
After reading several positive reviews, and not seeing any negative reviews posted, I decided to order this product along with Nattokinase to see what the fuss was all about and to hopefully get amazing results for some medical conditions I am currently dealing with. What happened on my first day of taking both products together (2 capsules of each product, 1x day) is truly unbelieveable, but true. After about 2hrs have passed, I noticed both of my ears slightly popped and my nasal congestion cleared up; I was able to stand on my feet at work for 7 hrs. pain free, and my pre-menstrual cramps were minimal. I did, however, notice some feelings of nausea and feeling like I just ate a big meal and being stuffed, but this was my first day and I was not going to give up. I am now on day 6 and the nausea is gone so I think it was caused by putting something new into my body and it was just its way of "going to work" and doing its thing. The cramps are even better, and the brown spots on both knees that I got after a sledding accident several years ago as a child, are gone! This is wonderful because in the past it was embarassing for me to wear shorts in the summer. So to all you skeptics out there, I HIGHLY recommend this product. Now I know what all the fuss is about.
I had custom made arch/heal support that I add to my walking shoes. These shoes do need more elasticity through the tongue area but after I put them on a few times, it became easier. The insole use a softer feel, especially through the toe area. Other that that, they are very cute and can be worn with any type of pants without looking clunky.
Basically, how this started-it was winter; my hair was like straw-used a shea butter shampoo and had a knot mess like you would not believe! I was afraid I was literally going to have to go and get it all cut off. Vowing that this would never happen again-- i tried wen--I don't know - by the end of the day my hair seemed dirty or oily but was at least knot free. Then hair one olive oil- again, knot free, nice but by end of day seeming to get oily again.
The book is basically broken down into organ systems and each section if is well organized. The information is condensed and definitely high yield. By second semester of the M2 year this is a great way to review what would otherwise be an overwhelming amount of information.
This works very well. I like it very much. It's much easier than using tweezers. My caregiver likes this because she doesn't have to try to pull the hairs out of my chin. I like it because it doesn't hurt.
First nobody pays me to say this and I'll tell you in very short message, Z E A L It is going to change your life to the good, | <urn:uuid:84941e48-50d6-4a37-afd0-83b2e95b5358> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | http://westsidenaturalmedicine.com/d/drugstore.co.il.websiteoutlook.com.html | 2021-10-28T16:49:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588398.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20211028162638-20211028192638-00195.warc.gz | en | 0.982189 | 725 | [

Today was good. Any day at the beach is good, even if it’s a bit chilly. Loved being here with my kids and friends.
Where is your happy place?
Life is good.
Some of us made it to the beach today, which made my day. The drive over Highway 17 from the valley to the ocean is magnificent. I love driving through the trees and mountains and over to the other side, especially when the weather is warm and the sun is shining brightly, like today. Sometimes going to the beach in the winter time is the best time for a visit, like today.
Life is good.
We made it to the beach today, my happy place. I loved the drive over highway 17 and through the mountains and down the other side. I was expecting fog, but the sun had already broken through by 11 am when we arrived.
We caravanned down with three other vans full of kids for a 14th co-ed birthday party. There were 16 kids and 4 adults.
We spent the entire day together, just chatting, watching the kids and soaking up the sun. I think I loved it just as much they did.
Kelly and Kate ordered Subway sandwiches for everyone and brought snacks, drinks and cupcakes for dessert to celebrate their children’s birthdays. I so appreciated how easy they made everything look. They thought of everything and were so relaxed. The kids had boogie boards and beach balls and had a blast being in the water together.
The water was a bit too cold for me, but I did at least stick my feet in. I couldn’t bring my paddle board as I still don’t have a car to transport it. Hopefully next week I will.
Kelly and Kate were also very diligent about keeping eyes on the kids at all times, making sure we had an active head count knowing who was where. The lifeguard came down to tell the kids about rip currants and safety. It was nice to know there was an extra set of eyes watching over our large party. And the kids were all such good, kind, considerate kids. I loved watching them all interact, especially when they all agreed to put on their party hats. They haven’t become too cool just yet!!
Life is good.
Where is your favorite place to be?
One of the things the kids were begging for after our whirlwind travels was just to be home so they could hang out with their friends and just chill at home. This weekend was their weekend, but Jeff and I found some ways to make being a taxi service fun. We enjoyed seeing them happy, having friends over and going to their friends’ homes and birthday parties.
Today Juliana and Charlie had parties and of course they had different start and end times between 11 and 5 pm. Since Jeff and I wanted to hang out together, we both played taxi driver, exploring the little cities along the way. After dropping Juliana off, we went to explore the beach at Blijburg and to enjoy the sunshine, even though it was cold. We ran into rockstar Morene Dekker, taking her son out for a paddle. She graciously invited me to join her, but we had to get back to pick up Charlie to drop him off at his party. We still enjoyed the views and this quirky little beach…take a peek:
Another few things we saw and that I love about Holland are the open fields, farm animals, blue skies and cloud puffs. I love seeing people bike everywhere and seeing waterways across the land. We drove by Vinkeveen lake and I thought of Barbara and how much fun we had SUPing together one gorgeous day in spring.
We took Juliana to a place called Polder Sports, an outdoor team building place, in Uithorn area. It looked like so much fun, but she fell in the water head first on one obstacle and was freezing the rest of the party. I think she still had fun with her friends, despite the wet shoes and hair.
We took Juliana home for a quick shower, and then the three of us were in the taxi again and went shopping at Makro to pick up some food for the grill tonight before picking up Charlie. Shopping with one kid is so much easier than with three.
When we stopped again to pick up Charlie from the bowling alley at Borchland, he was happy outside playing on a swing waiting for us. He had such a great time with his friends.
Thank you to all our friends who shared a part of their weekend with our family. We are so blessed, and the taxi service wasn’t so bad today, with my best friend, taking in the sites with me. I highly recommend making pick up and drop off as fun as you can… Next time we’ll stop for an ice cream too! | <urn:uuid:fc635ce1-1333-4244-b58b-7847b5ed6e9b> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://adrianahartley.com/tag/beach-day/ | 2021-10-28T17:23:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588398.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20211028162638-20211028192638-00195.warc.gz | en | 0.988083 | 998 | [

Start the conversation
Gertrude Weaver of Arkansas died on April 6, 2015, at the age of 116 – just five days after being named the world's oldest person. In 1900, when Gertrude was two years old, the average life expectancy in America was 48 years. Today, people born in the most advanced countries are routinely living well into their 90s.
But can we live forever?
It’s not such a strange question when you consider how advances in medicine – antibiotics, new surgeries, prescription drugs – have continuously extended our lives.
And according to Dr. David Sinclair of Harvard’s genetics department, in light of recent medical breakthroughs, “There is no limit on human lifespan.”
Dr. Sinclair, along with colleagues at Harvard, MIT, Penn, Scripps, and Johns Hopkins, are working to develop a treatment that could be the first step toward a permanent cure for mankind’s most deadly disease: Aging.
After all, seven of the top ten causes of death in America are age-related. And you can trace the root cause of all of these conditions to one specific cellular defect.
Can We Live Forever? The Age-Old Problem
As we age, cells die off and are replenished through cytokinesis. Cytokinesis is the process where cells repeatedly duplicate – they make copies of themselves.
Here’s the problem: Every time your cells duplicate, the protective “caps” at the end of each strand of your DNA, called telomeres, shrink. So over the years, with each successive copy, the telomeres keep shrinking, the DNA gets more exposed – and your cells become less and less accurate copies of themselves.
The gradual deterioration of these telomeres is the primary reason we get weaker and sicker over time, and why aging eventually kills us.
But what if the breakdown of telomeres can be slowed – or even reversed?
Scientists have identified at least nine species that have a naturally occurring “immortality gene.” These specimens, including lobster, bacteria, and certain types of jellyfish, are capable of cellular regeneration indefinitely.
“Immortality might be much more common than we think,” said Dr. Kevin Peterson, a molecular biologist at Dartmouth.
That’s because the “immortality gene” is present in human DNA…
Can We Live Forever? The Game-Changing Solution
It all started when Dr. Carol Grieder and Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn, biologists at UC Berkeley, showed that an “immortality gene” creates a protein that prevents the deterioration of telomeres during cytokinesis.
The implications of this discovery for human aging were huge. It won Drs. Grieder and Blackburn the Nobel Prize in medicine in 2009.
At Harvard Medical School, geneticist Dr. Ronald DePinho led a team investigating those implications in a study using mice. The normal lifespan of a mouse is 2 years. But with telomerase switched on – in other words, with the immortality gene switched on – they lived 40% longer.
That’s the equivalent of adding an additional 32 years to your life. They described what they saw as an “unprecedented reversal of age-related decline.”
And now, after decades of experimentation and recent clinical trials, doctors have developed a safe and effective treatment that could allow us the switch on the human immortality gene. The New York Times described this breakthrough therapy as “The biggest change in our understanding of biology since the discovery of the double helix.” | <urn:uuid:51675141-5c21-473b-8534-f069bcd82237> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://moneymorning.com/how-to-live-rich-and-live-forever/can-we-live-forever-new-research-says-yes/ | 2021-10-28T16:48:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588398.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20211028162638-20211028192638-00195.warc.gz | en | 0.938682 | 748 | [

There is a huge demand for whitening products, and estimates say that consumers spend over a billion dollars annually to attain a whiter smile!
About Store-Bought Whiteners
In general, store-bought whiteners have been found to be safe to use, although it’s important to note that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t regulate these products. An obvious drawback to using these whiteners is that the process is not supervised by a dentist
This is a problem because your teeth need to be healthy when you whiten. If you have cavities or decay and the whitening gel penetrates these areas, you will experience excruciating pain. On the other hand, if your teeth are healthy, you shouldn’t have a problem with over-the-counter-whiteners other than the fact that they don’t perform as well as professional treatments.
Try Our Glendale Office's Professional Whitening
We highly recommend that you consider a professional whitening for the brightest smile. Our dentist uses prescription-strength KöR whiteners that penetrate deep inside your teeth and lift out the most stubborn stains. This product produces brilliant results that can whiten your teeth by as much as 16 shades in just a few weeks.
If you are thinking about teeth whitening, please call our Glendale dental office to arrange an appointment for a professional cleaning followed by a KöR whitening treatment. | <urn:uuid:306c4978-787c-4392-ae89-ddc7aad3e63e> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.brushandsmile.com/faq/are-storebought-whiteners-safe/17309 | 2021-10-17T02:44:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585120.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20211017021554-20211017051554-00555.warc.gz | en | 0.942489 | 294 | [

After years (and years) of waiting, Insulet is finally on the cusp of launching OmniPod 5 – a system that combines the OmniPod disposable patch pump with a Dexcom G6 CGM and an algorithm that automatically raises and lowers basal insulin delivery. Compared to other commercially-available hybrid closed loop (HCL) systems such as Tandem X2 with Control IQ and Medtronic 770, OmniPod 5 has some features to get excited about.
But before we get into that, here’s a bit of background.
The OmniPod 5 System
Product-wise, OmniPod5 uses new Bluetooth-enabled pods that have the HCL algorithm built in. They are the same size and shape as traditional pods, holding up to 200 units of insulin. The OmniPod 5 mobile app is required for setting up each pod, linking the pod with the current glucose sensor, and bolusing. Once a pod is initialized, the app is not required for automated basal adjustments to take place. Initially, the app will only run on a compatible Android phone. For those who don’t have a compatible phone, Insulet will provide a basic phone that can only run the OmniPod 5 app but cannot be used for anything else. This is similar but not exactly the same as the current OmniPod Dash programmer. Insulet reports that loved ones will have access to the user’s data with an app that is similar to the OmniPod View app.
The algorithm built into the pods makes automated adjustments to basal delivery every five minutes based on current and projected glucose values derives from the CGM. This is called a “model predictive algorithm”. The magnitude of the adjustment is based on historical insulin usage and the perceived insulin sensitivity of the user. The target glucose value used by the algorithm is customizable to be anywhere from 110-150, in 10 mg/dl increments. Different targets can be set for different times of day. One “override” option is available: the HypoProtect feature temporarily sets the target to 150 and minimizes basal insulin delivery for situations such as exercise.
To start using automated insulin delivery, the user only needs to enter their Dexcom G6 transmitter’s serial number into the app. There are no limits on the amount of insulin one uses, no calibrations required, and no waiting days for the Automated Mode feature to kick in. Initially, the algorithm applies the user’s usual basal settings as a foundation. After the first two to three pods are deactivated and new ones are activated, the algorithm makes more robust self-adjustments and adapts the foundational basal program based on the user’s needs over the past several days. After about nine days of use, the new foundational basal program is set.
When not in Automated Mode (during sensor warmups for example), the system reportedly reverts to “standard” basal delivery. As of the publication of this article, Insulet has not provided answers as to what “standard” basal delivery means exactly. They also have not provided answers regarding what happens if the app is lost or deleted.
As with other HCL systems, boluses remain the responsibility of the user. The OmniPod 5 app allows the user to utilize their preferred insulin-to-carb ratios, correction factors, targets, and duration of insulin action for bolus calculations. Taking things one step further, the app automatically increases or decreases bolus amounts based on CGM trends. If the glucose is rising, the bolus may be increased by as much as 30%. If falling, it may be decreased by as much as 100%.
The major “pivotal” research study designed to assess the safety and effectiveness of OmniPod 5 showed significant benefits for both children and adults with type-1 diabetes. Time in-range (the percentage of the day spent between 70 and 180 mg/dl) improved from a baseline of 51% to 71% in children when transitioning from standard diabetes management to OmniPod 5, particularly when using a glucose target of 110 mg/dl. In adults, time in-range improved from 66% at baseline to 75% when a target of 130 mg/dl was used.
Time spent in a state of hypoglycemia also improved, from 2.3% to 1.7% in children, and 3.4% to 1.1% in adults. The number of hypoglycemic events was cut in half in children and by almost two thirds in adults. Even less hypoglycemic events and time in a hypoglycemic range occurred when higher targets were used.
Participants in the study used OmniPod 5 in Automated Mode more than 97% of the time, indicating that it was relatively easy to maintain and use the system. There were no major problems (adverse events) with the system, nor were there episodes of severe hypoglycemia or DKA during the course of the study, which ran for 14 days with 36 users ages 6-70.
What It All Means
Safe to say, Insulet has put together an HCL system that is safe and has the potential to improve glycemic control for most users with little to no additional work on the user’s part. That positive balance of benefit vs. cost is quite important. What is most exciting is that we will finally have a commercially-available HCL system that does not require use of a tubed pump. Sure, for those with decent tech skills and a penchant for sticking their nose up at the government, we already have the DIY Loop and APS systems that can hack into the old radio-enabled “eros” pods. But OmniPod 5 is a system that is truly ready for the masses. It appears to be easy to learn and use and incorporates the most popular sensor in the type-1 market.
But it’s not all sunshine and buttercups. There are a number of potential downsides to OmniPod 5 that should be taken into account when choosing an HCL system:
Downsides to OmniPod 5:
- iPhone users will be forced to carry an extra device to run the OmniPod 5 app. At least for the time being… Insulet has plans to make the app compatible with iPhones in the not-to-distant future.
- Extended (square/dual) boluses will not be an option. This can be a serious detriment when consuming large, high-fat or low-glycemic-index foods, as well as for those who have impaired digestion. All OmniPod 5 boluses must be delivered in full, all at once. This can cause hypoglycemia soon after consuming a slowly-digesting meal, followed by a delayed rise. Already, Tandem offers extended boluses in their HCL system, and the DIY Loop app allows users to specify the digestion/absorption time of each meal. Hopefully, Insulet will follow suit at some point.
- I’m all for adjusting bolus doses based on the direction the glucose is headed going into meals. Our practice has been teaching that concept since CGM was first introduced. But adjusting the original bolus dose by a percentage rather than by a flat amount is asking for trouble. Let’s say your glucose is rising rapidly going into a meal. You will need x-number of units to offset the rise, based on your insulin sensitivity. However, based on OmniPod 5’s approach, if you’re having a very large meal, the bolus will be increased by significantly more than if you’re having a small meal. The same thing will happen if the glucose is falling: the magnitude of the adjustment hinges on the number of units in your original bolus calculation. That has the potential to either not prevent a high/low or cause a high/low within the next several hours.
- “Adapting” the user’s foundational basal settings based on a few days of data can be problematic. If an individual’s basal needs during those evaluation days are not representative of their typical needs, the basal program will be opposing the algorithm’s efforts to achieve glucose stability. If a person becomes progressively more or less sensitive to insulin due to things like growth, weight gain/loss, pregnancy or lifestyle changes, there is no indication that OmniPod 5’s algorithm will be able to adapt. This places an unnecessary stress on the system.
- You cannot alter the basal program when Automated Mode is in use. No temporary basal rates or alternate profiles (which are doable with the Tandem system). Other than the HypoProtect feature, no other overrides are possible (Loop allows for unlimited customizable overrides). This will create challenges during situations such as menses, stress, intense exercise, illness/infection, and consumption of alcohol or high-fat meals.
Who, When and Where?
Insulet submitted their application to the US Food & Drug Administration back in December, 2020. It usually takes the FDA 4-6 months to render a decision, so hopefully approval will be received towards the middle of 2021. The submission requested approval for ages 6 and up, but Insulet has already begun a follow-up study to evaluate the product in children as young as 2 years old.
Initially, Insulet plans a “limited” rollout – which means they will restrict access to a manageable number of patients who are treated by clinicians with adequate resources to train, educate and manage patients on the new system. A full rollout will likely take place a few months later.
Since there is nothing quite like personal experience, we at Integrated Diabetes Services plan to give OmniPod 5 a try as soon as we can get our grubby little hands on it. Stay tuned for more updates. | <urn:uuid:639c1070-d5ac-420a-8409-2f656a160f25> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://integrateddiabetes.com/omnipod-gears-up-to-almost-close-the-loop/ | 2021-10-18T14:56:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585203.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20211018124412-20211018154412-00635.warc.gz | en | 0.94696 | 2,016 | [

“Safety has earned an escalated level of attention that we all must embrace.” – Groome Industrial Service Group’s Vice President of Sales Steve Houghton
In the fifth installment of Groome’s monthly webinar series, our Vice President of Sales Steve Houghton is joined by Denis Crayon, President of Experience Safety Institute, to discuss the importance of coordinated and comprehensive safety measures in facilities, particularly during this time of heightened precaution due to COVID-19.
The pandemic forced many refiners to postpone scheduled turnarounds to help slow the spread of COVID-19. As we enter another turnaround and outage season, it is more important than ever to ask, “Can we do more?” and “Should we do anything different?” Even in normal times, determining whether or not to have a planned outage depends on many factors, chief among them cost, vendor support and safety.
Unplanned work – and unplanned outages – adds an average of 30-40% to the baseline cost of planned maintenance and work. The additional expenses are avoidable and controllable, but the question is how to avoid them. Complete a risk-benefit analysis to determine the need, cost, recovery time, production demand and safety concerns of a planned outage to help you decide if your work is “pushable.”
Taking a hard look at the resources your vendor offers is another critical aspect to safe outage planning. Are the staff trained and tenured? Will they be able to retain their crew during the pandemic and in future unanticipated circumstances? Do they have a safety plan in place that coordinates with yours? Do they offer turnkey services that will increase efficiency while limiting exposure and reducing risk? Houghton notes that the more applicable strategic relationships and services available, the better the turnkey option.
Safety management during planned outages is a complex and essential responsibility. Compliance to existing safety standards is key, and Crayon recommends that companies utilize resources from HR and insurance, as well as local, state and federal programs to help employees deal with stress and avoid complacency, especially during the pandemic. Assigning a “gatekeeper” to coordinate frequent and ongoing communications is a good way to create a culture of safety across your organization.
Safety bubbles are made up of those people that are potentially affected by the actions of others in the same environment. In a plant or refinery, a safety bubble includes plant personnel, contractors and vendors, and the local community at large. Implement safety plans and establish protocols in your facility to ensure safety during the pandemic, such as taking temperatures, requiring proper PPE usage and documenting travel. Utilizing contractors that offer turnkey services can also help manage the safety bubble by limiting vendor count and offering strategic scheduling.
Disinfection service providers need to be vetted to be certain that they fit the needs of your facility. Ask questions to ensure that their cleaning methods meet CDC and EPA requirements and adhere to SDS guidelines. Watch out for red flags such as low square footage price or high one-time cost. Daily routines and weekly regimens in a sealed environment should be the standard for peace of mind.
With over fifty years of experience in the industrial cleaning space, safety is the cornerstone at Groome.

As the number of transboundary pest and animal and foodborne disease outbreaks rises, so does the number of people who are chronically hungry due to these and other factors. The correlation can be explained by the link between our health and that of the planet. We rely on land and sea for the production of safe and quality foods for our daily nourishment. Pests and disease epidemics negatively impact the quality, quantity and safety of our food sources, and cripple economic growth and efficiencies in production. Furthermore, the epidemic and endemic levels of the pathogens and disease vectors can be difficult to control. This is why FAO stresses and promotes the special efforts required for cost-effective preventive measures rather than the more expensive control, disinfestation, treatment and disposal measures. When preventive measures are late or difficult, preparedness and contingency plans must be in place to enable rapid response. Early warning systems, based on close monitoring, surveillance, and timely reporting are fundamental to warn and empower communities to safeguard their livelihoods and assets by enhancing disease and pest prevention measures and for government services to take immediate measures to protect communities and national economies.

About 250 people came out to the 13th Annual Wine, Whiskers & Wags event held at the Paradise Spring Winery in Clifton on Sunday, May 19, 2019. Sitting outdoors in 90-degree temps, people brought their dogs and sipped wine while contributing to the Friends of the Fairfax County Animal Shelter. The event included a silent auction, dog training demos, and “Ask the Trainer Questions.” Last year, the Friends gave $275,000 to the municipal shelter – money from donors and from events like this.
According to Evelyn Grieve, President of the Friends: “For 13 years we’ve been working with the shelter and raising funds to help pets that come into the shelter for medical, dental, and parasite prevention. The shelter takes in a number of pets and they can’t always pay for the medical, so our biggest thing that we started for was to pay for medical treatments. We branched out to the dental and parasite prevention so every pet that comes in – dogs, cats and rabbits – they all get inoculated for fleas, ticks and heartworms.”
She continued: “We give them collars, tags and leashes. We have behavioral programs. We also buy shelter support items like toys and food and cat scratching toys. What we’re hoping to accomplish is to have people know that there are great pets at the shelter. Our motto is ‘Adopt, Don’t Shop.’”
Lindsey Kellogg, Communications and Administration Specialist, added: “We have several programs from medical to parasite prevention to TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return Program). Our goal is to get all of the animals at the shelter adopted. But with the TNR program, we’re aiming to cut down on the population in the cat community. We try to encourage people to understand where pets come from.”
Grieve added: “Because we have to take in every pet, our live release rate is 95 percent and no pet gets euthanized for space. We’ve had pets in the shelter for up to 18-plus months. We either have them go out to fosters; we have sent them to rescue partners; or they’ve gone to other shelters. So, we make sure every pet who has the ability to be adopted is adopted. That’s the shelter’s biggest goal.” | <urn:uuid:f11e3eed-428a-40d7-b01a-e7e509178dcb> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | http://www.connectionnewspapers.com/news/2019/may/23/wine-whiskers-wags-clifton/ | 2021-10-23T01:13:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585537.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20211023002852-20211023032852-00155.warc.gz | en | 0.94996 | 590 | [

I started a new job about a month ago. It was okay at first, being kept fairly busy with customers in the restaurant and guests at weddings. There were a few times that I felt as though I wasn't alone in the room or I was being watched. A few times I saw shadows from the corner of my eyes, but I generally just passed it off as the light.
One day, I was doing a continental breakfast, and I was alone, just me, the staff at the front desk, and one of the managers wandering around. I was sitting at the hostess stand, because there was nobody there and I didn't really have anything to do. I was looking down at the floor, and I saw someone walking towards me. It was clearly black pants, and black shoes, what waitresses typically wore at that point in time for our uniform. I looked up, thinking it was one of the other girls in to help or something, but there was nobody there, and I was the only one wearing that uniform at the time.
Later on in the other room I heard a crash, went to check it out, and there was nothing that could have made that noise. Once or twice I thought I heard someone calling out, but that may have just been the music.
Then tonight, June of 2012, we were dead. We have all of five people come to the restaurant, but they all went to the bar for drinks, so the bartender was helping them. At one point there was nobody there, so me, the bartender and the cook were chilling at one of the tables, talking and folding linens. All the sudden, a guest came to the door, and the bartender and I started walking towards her because we didn't hear what she was saying. Then she asked where the front desk was. We told her, and then she asked if the place was haunted. We replied that we didn't know, and I piped in that I felt something sometimes. Well, she looked a little freaked because the bartender said the same thing. She then walked to the front desk.
After a few minutes she came walking back, and looking even more freaked out, informed us that there had been a paranormal investigating group that came to check it out. She walked back to her room. I felt a little freaked out after that. We ended up closing early since we had really no customers. I drove the cook home, since he usually rides his bike, and didn't particularly want to tonight. On the way to his house, I listened to a different radio station, since the one I usually listen to was breaking up. I figured it was just where I was. However, on the way to my house, I switched it back to my normal station. It was still breaking in and out, but not as bad. Suddenly, it switched to the station I had been listening to earlier. It just broke in, steady, no crackling or anything. In a spot where when I drive I usually have no problems. It kept doing that for the few minutes I had left.
I don't know if that was paranormal, if something followed me from work, or if it was just a solar flare or something. I just hope it was a solar flare. | <urn:uuid:02386af6-7c86-495f-99b3-48be264d2e15> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.yourghoststories.com/real-ghost-story.php?story=15468 | 2021-10-23T03:01:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585537.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20211023002852-20211023032852-00155.warc.gz | en | 0.995598 | 667 | [

Chris Williamson’s first ‘Week in Westminster‘ video of 2018 – and his first since his resignation from Labour’s front-bench team – examines PFI (Private Finance Initiative), the collapse of Carillion and their place in the bigger picture of unhealthy relationships among banks, elites and government.
The hard-hitting video exposes ways in which the UK’s people are ripped off by the Establishment, as well as showing that Williamson was not kidding when he told the SKWAWKBOX that he was doing so to free him to campaign more freely on key issues:
Already outspoken as a front-bencher, Williamson’s freedom to talk even more frankly will not be welcomed by those who want to maintain the status quo by keeping uncomfortable truths from the public.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers hasn’t always been thrilled with the team’s personnel decisions, but he gave his stamp of approval to some of their recent moves.

Every season for virtually every college football team, the bye week brings chatter about self-scouting. Rather than trying to reinvent the defensive scheme or revamp the personnel on the field, Wilks said the focus last week was on shoring up the fundamentals. “Yes, we did take some time to self-scout and evaluate ourselves, and when you really break it down a little bit, undisciplined, getting out of our gaps, guys just not really executing at times with their technique and fundamentals,” Wilks said. | <urn:uuid:3a46bbac-5d2e-4390-8c41-56191142a15d> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/stats/byteam/?group=Offense&cat=Total&conference=NFL&year=season_2013&sort=529&timeframe=ToDate | 2021-10-27T11:45:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588113.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20211027084718-20211027114718-00395.warc.gz | en | 0.972578 | 253 | [

Battle of Naya Chor
Pakistan’s Naya Chor, opposite the Barmer Sector in Rajasthan, was the Sector Headquarters of the Pak Command, and the key node, defending deeper penetration into Sindh.
Tasked with the capture of areas upto Naya Chor, on the night of December 4/5, 1971, India’s 11 Infantry Division launched a three-pronged offensive, the main thrust being the Munabao-Parbat Ali-Naya Chor axis. IAF carried out airstrikes on the evening of December 4, to facilitate the task. By the night of December 12/13, 1971, Indian forces had penetrated more than 80 km into enemy territory, and in a particularly daring offensive, captured Parbat Ali—a fortified and formidable defensive position. Three successive counterattacks by Pakistan were beaten back, leaving 57 Pakistani soldiers dead and 35 POWs.
Pakistan was compelled to reinforce the Naya Chor sector, with reserves diverted from sectors opposite the Western Command. Challenges of desert mobility and the declaration of ceasefire three days later stopped the offensive at Parche Ji Vari, short of Naya Chor.

Battle of Fazilka
Fazilka was vulnerable to multiple Pakistani attacks—through the Pakistani enclaves south of the river Sutlej, through Jalalabad in the north, and through Sulemanki bridgehead in the west. India had covered all these approaches through a fortified, anti-tank obstacle—the Sabuna Distributary. The dilemma on whether to have the weight of the defences close to the international boundary ‘to prevent loss of territory’, or defend Fazilka in strength, persisted even as battle was joined.
On December 3, 1971, Pakistan, charged... | <urn:uuid:a1cb6377-04e1-43ee-ac5f-aeef37455c9e> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.outlookindia.com/magazine/story/india-news-bayonets-fixed-fight-of-their-lives/304095/?next | 2021-10-27T09:22:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588113.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20211027084718-20211027114718-00395.warc.gz | en | 0.948496 | 376 | [

- Meet the Team
- About Varicose Veins
- Vein Treatments
- Our Clinics
Medical Superglue is intended to permanently treat the underlying veins that cause varicose by sealing the affected veins with a cyanoacrylate-based adhesive. It cannot be used to treat the actual varicose veins but these often improve significantly so that direct treatment (usually done by Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy) is not required. Because the sealed area due to Medical Superglue is very soft and elastic it eventually becomes undetectable.
Your doctor inserts a catheter through the skin into the diseased vein and injects the clear liquid. He then monitors the placement of the catheter and the delivery of the adhesive using ultrasound imaging. Once the adhesive is injected inside the diseased vein, the area is manually compressed, and the adhesive changes into a solid to seal the varicose vein.
Medical Superglue is used for patients with symptoms of venous reflux disease. This occurs when the valves have stopped working properly, allowing blood to flow backwards and collect in the leg veins causing varicose veins and may be associated with aching, swelling, cramping, itching, and ulcers. These symptoms can worsen over time if not treated.
Medical Superglue seals the underlying veins which generally relieves symptoms.
Medical Superglue is most appropriate for patients who have straight sections of underlying veins where the valves have failed and there are not a lot of associated varicose veins.
The published success of Medical Superglue is up to 98.9% (VeClose Study), with fewer complications than ELA or surgery.
Medical Superglue has been meticulously trialled in the United States and Europe over the last 5 years. Results published show a low risk of complications and excellent medium-term results. The VeClose Study out of Germany showed a 98.9% closure rate at 6 months. Medical Superglue is considered as effective as Endovenous Laser Ablation (ELA) but does not involve the use of heat and can, therefore, be performed with the application of a small amount of local anaesthetic as opposed to the larger volumes of anaesthetic required for ELA.
When will my symptoms improve? The diseased superficial vein caused the symptoms. Thus, symptoms may improve as soon as the diseased vein is closed.
When can I return to normal activity? Medical Superglue is designed to reduce recovery time. Many patients return to normal activity immediately after the procedure. Your doctor can help you determine when you can return to normal activity.
Is Medical Superglue painful? Most patients feel little, if any, pain during the outpatient procedure.
Is there bruising after Medical Superglue? Most patients report little-to-no bruising after Medical Superglue.
What happens to Medical Superglue? Only a very small amount of Medical Superglue is used to close the vein. Your body will naturally absorb the adhesive over time.
How does Medical Superglue differ from thermal energy procedures? Medical Superglue uses an adhesive to close the superficial vein.
You will have an ultrasound imaging exam of the leg that is to be treated to confirm the area where Medical Superglue will be used. The doctor will again discuss the procedure with you.
A brief summary of what to expect is below:
The Medical Superglue procedure is minimally invasive and catheter-based. As such, it may involve the following risks. Your doctor can help you understand these risks.

The Centre on Thursday sanctioned a Cash Credit Limit (CCL) of Rs 28,262.84 crore for procurement of paddy for Punjab in the Kharif marketing season 2017-18.

Super Mario Bros.: Grand Mission to Rescue Princess Peach!
Mario is playing his Famicom (Nintendo Entertainment System in the U.S. / Europe) one night when both Princess Peach and the enemies from Super Mario Bros. pop out of his T.V.! After they leave, Peach asks for Mario to join her at her castle, but their moment is interrupted by the appearance of King Koopa (Bowser), who kidnaps Peach despite Mario's best efforts. The two then head back into the T.V. Mario explains to Luigi what happened, but the tired brother doesn't believe him. With only her necklace left behind to prove that he what he saw wasn't a dream, Mario and his brother Luigi, following a mysterious dog, head out to rescue Princess Peach as well as save the Mushroom Kingdom. As he travels, Mario will need to collect the Mushroom of Strength, Flower of Courage, and Star of Invincibility to defeat Koopa.
When I was little, my first video game system growing up was an Atari 2600. But even back then, I was aware of Mario through Donkey Kong. When our family got a NES in 1989, I couldn't have been any happier with playing with the Super Mario Bros. games, having played them at my cousin's house many times when little. In fact, Super Mario Bros. 3 was the first video game I remember getting for a birthday present back in 1991. I later got a Sega Genesis a couple of years later, but I was still familiar with the Mario games released on the Super Nintendo, and later got the Nintendo 64 for Christmas six years later, and now have every major Mario game ever released in some form.
I first heard about the Super Mario Bros. animated movie years before I saw it. At times I wondered if I would ever see it at all. But a couple of years ago I finally got the chance to see it. And now, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the original Super Mario Bros., I decided to re-watch (and review) this anime for you guys.
Where to start? Well, let's start with the characterizations of the familiar Mario characters. Mario is portrayed as a typical good guy who wants to save the girl - mainly because he is obsessed with her. Luigi (who wears blue and yellow for some reason in this film), meanwhile, is a gullible, money-hungry wuss, and couldn't care less about saving Peach the grand majority of the film. Needless to say, they don't have much personality in this film, and mainly just wander from one place to the next acting as their two-dimensional selves. (Though it is fairly amusing seeing Mario cower behind Peach upon his first encounter with Koopa, considering how the games usually portray the red-clad plumber.) Peach spends most of the movie whining in one of the most annoying voices I've heard in an anime in a while, and Koopa keeps trying unsuccessfully to get her to fall for him. (Also, for some reason, the mushroom retainers in this movie are all portrayed as cute females.)
Basically the majority of the movie is Mario, Luigi, and a weird-looking dog wandering from area to area avoiding Mario enemies while encountering familiar Mario sighs, such as beanstalks, mushrooms, fire flowers, coins, and stars. And each time they travel to an area, you see a montage of various clips involving our heroes and their dog over very 80's anime songs, as well as shame-less plugs for products revolved around the release of the movie. (Look for a Sanrio sign near the beginning of the film.) For a Mario fan like myself, it's a treat to see so many familiar characters from my childhood, especially when you compare to the 1993 live-action movie that barely looked anything like Mario.
Still, I'll have to admit the biggest flaw with Super Mario Bros.: Grand Mission to Rescue Princess Peach!: it's almost entirely based on nostalgia. How much you'll like the movie depends on how much you're familiar with the Mario games, specifically Super Mario Bros.. As far as storytelling goes, it just wanders from one place to another with little to hold it together. And although the use of Mario music and sound effects is nice fanservice, the little original music in the movie (which is mostly just a bunch of mediocre J-POP songs and one really dull, bland piece of "scary" background music ripped from an old NES game) is hardly noteworthy, and some of the rearranged music is not all that special. Also, the animation is very lazy for a movie, and the art isn't all that stellar either. Compare it to the Studio Ghibli classic Castle in the Sky, which came out a mere two weeks later in Japan, and it looks incredibly dated.
Despite dated art and animation, as well as a thin thread of a story, I'll admit that the little kid inside of me enjoyed Super Mario Bros.: Grand Mission to Rescue Princess Peach! At only an hour long, it won't take up much of your time, and it's worth a look at for curiosity's sake as one of the very first animated movies based on a video game. It's much better than most of the American Super Mario Bros. series, at the very least. If you have an hour of free time on your hands, I would recommend you check it out.
A weird, dated, but fun Mario tale for both fans of the game and of anime in general. — Tim Jones
Recommended Audience: Kids and older Mario fans would get the most out of this.

Built for people of all ages and abilities
Harris County Precinct 2 Commissioner Adrian Garcia proudly broke ground on the expansion of James Driver Park last Wednesday. The expansion, the first of its kind in Precinct 2, will make James Driver Park an all-inclusive park, a regional destination for persons of all ages and abilities. Local community members and leaders, including Texas State Senator Carol Alvarado and Texas State Representative Armando Walle, celebrated the exciting occasion at the park on Wednesday, December 16th.
“We have to make sure that we recognize the fact that people, children in particular, with physical and cognitive disabilities are among the largest underrepresented minority groups in the Houston/ Harris County area, and we need to do more for them,” said Commissioner Adrian Garcia. “This park will be addressing an entire spectrum of special needs – a space where children with disabilities can play alongside with friends and siblings, as well as their parents, caregivers, physical therapists, educators, or even physicians.”
The $7.6 million project, has already been recognized as having an important role in the county. Texas Parks and Wildlife awarded the park a $1.5 million grant to transform James Driver Park to a space for residents of all ages and abilities to exercise, socialize, and play. Located in an underserved part of Harris County, this expansion project should also help to revitalize the surrounding community and will serve as a destination to visitors of the city.
“One of the things that this park will do is provide opportunities for other children who grew up just like us. If it weren’t for these parks, we would not have a place to go hangout, to go play basketball, to come bring family members that may have special needs,” said Representative Walle, an Aldine area native.
The expansion will include an improved and widened walking trail that will accommodate people in wheelchairs, a playground specially designed for people of all abilities, both physical and cognitive, an outdoor gaming and fitness area featuring bocce, shuffleboard, chess tables, corn hole, bean bag toss and fitness equipment. It will also include a misting area and plenty of shade to providing relief from the heat, covered dining space and outdoor picnic areas, sensory garden featuring indigenous perennials, an event lawn and pavilion for musical and other entertainment, and so much more!
“This [park] will be put to good use for generations and generations to come. The kids are going to be able to feel welcome, to feel at home, to feel safe, and this is just another jewel in the cap of Precinct 2,” said Senator Alvarado.
Construction is expected to be complete in the Summer of 2021. For more information on the project, visit: https://hcp2.com/AllInclusive-Park.

Servant of the people
Published 9:19 am Thursday, December 11, 2014
JACKSON – She’s a “down home girl” whose roots run deep within the fertile soil of Northampton County.
Her work career is top-heavy in public service….from working behind the counter at the famous “Patio” in her hometown of Rich Square; to taking care of those less fortunate through two positions with the Department of Social Services; to handling the Public Relations of one of the local area’s most trusted businesses.
So, when the opportunity arose to change career hats, but yet continue as a public servant, Robin Phillips seized the moment.
Last week, Phillips replaced Pauline Deloatch, who for 26 years served as the Northampton County Register of Deeds, choosing to retire with two years left on her current term in office.
“I don’t think I can replace Miss Pauline, with all the experience she has….that’s some mighty big shoes to fill,” Phillips humbly stated during an interview in her new surroundings.
Phillips is the daughter of the late Major Lee and Janie Phillips, who made their home just on the northern outskirts of Rich Square. She is a member of the Class of 1984 at Northampton County High School East and then went on to earn a pair of two-year degrees (one each in Information Systems and Business) from Roanoke-Chowan Community College.
She parlayed the latter degree from RCCC into a full-fledged Bachelor of Arts in Business degree from Shaw University and later earned a Masters in Marketing from the University of Phoenix.
All the while, Phillips worked at part-time jobs….to include her first three: The Patio, The Pantry, and at the Perdue processing facility in Lewiston.
“I’ve been here all my life, and I’ve worked all my life,” she said. “I credit my parents for my work ethic. There was no sitting around and doing nothing at my house. You got out and worked.”
Her life in the public sector included positions with DSS in Northampton (Child Support Office secretary) and Hertford (Food Stamps) counties. That lifestyle continued with a job at Bertie-Hertford Child Support.
In 2002, Phillips landed a job with Roanoke Electric Cooperative as a secretary in the Engineering and Operations department, thus beginning a career that saw her quickly climb the ladder of success. She was promoted to Office Manager of Roanoke Energy Resources and concluded her career there in November of this year as Public Relations Coordinator and Communications Specialist.
“I enjoyed my work with Roanoke Electric; that’s a business that really lives up to its mission of enhancing the lives of the people who live within the many communities they serve,” Phillips said.
Phillips said she left Roanoke Electric, “to take some time off, to regroup, and consider going back to school.”
“I had no idea that the Register of Deed’s job was about to open up,” she said. “I was approached about it and told with my career of dealing with the public that I would be good at this job.”
Twice she said no.
“The third time I was contacted, I decided to look into this job,” Phillips said.
Because the job opening is political in nature (the Register of Deeds in any county statewide is an elected position), Phillips had to go through certain channels to make herself known as a possible candidate for replacing the retiring Deloatch.
According to North Carolina General Statute 161-5, when a vacancy occurs from any cause in the office of register of deeds, the board of county commissioners shall fill such vacancy by the appointment of a successor for the unexpired term, who shall qualify and give bond as required by law. If the register of deeds was elected as the nominee of a political party, the board of county commissioners shall consult the county executive committee of that political party before filling the vacancy and shall appoint the person recommended by that committee, if the party makes a recommendation within 30 days of the occurrence of the vacancy.
In this particular case, Phillips was interviewed by the executive committee of the Northampton County Democratic Party.
“They asked a lot of questions and got to know me better,” she said.
The committee must have liked what they saw and heard from Phillips as they recommended her to the county’s Board of Commissioners to fill the two years remaining on Deloatch’s term of office. In a 5-0 vote, the Commissioners agreed with the committee’s recommendation.
“This is a very important job as the staff in this office are the guardians of Northampton County history,” Phillips stressed. “There are very, very important documents housed here, some dating back to the 1700’s.”
However, Phillips didn’t enter this job blindly.
“I did some research and realized the importance of this office,” she said. “I felt I had two key things in my favor…I love my county because I grew up here, and I’m a very organized person.
“I’m also accustomed to dealing with the public due to my past jobs,” she added. “I feel that’s one of my strong suits.”
It’s still early in her new career, but Phillips sees a bigger picture down the road for the Northampton County Register of Deeds office.
“There’s been some discussion before I got here to make an effort to have digital access to these files,” she said. “That effort will take a lot of work and we’ll need to be very vigilant to ensuring certain portions of those records, to include Social Security numbers, are not compromised.”
Phillips said her confidence to perform the new tasks at hand is built on the foundation of the three other women that share the same office – Deputy Clerks Velma Long, Laverne Harris, and Clarissa Kisic.
“Normally when you go into a new position, especially one of this magnitude, where you are very green experience wise, you often encounter co-workers that are not very receptive,” Phillips noted. “That didn’t happen here; I was welcomed with open arms. They helped me; answered the questions I had and I’m extremely thankful for that.”
As to what the future holds after the expiration of the two-year term, Phillips may also have to become a politician seeking election to an office.
“I’ve thought about that; I’ll just wait to see what happens over the next couple of years, but, for now, these doors are open for myself and this staff to serve the public,” she concluded.
Spoken like a true public servant. | <urn:uuid:24ba6f58-b9bd-4399-aa8f-164a4f114e89> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.roanoke-chowannewsherald.com/2014/12/11/servant-of-the-people/ | 2023-11-29T14:44:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100112.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20231129141108-20231129171108-00655.warc.gz | en | 0.973674 | 1,475 | [

In Just One, all players are on a team, working together to help the guesser for each round correctly identify the secret word. You will each contribute a one-word clue, but here’s the catch: any clues that are the same are discarded and not shown to the guesser. If you pick clues that are too obvious, they may get canceled and not leave enough for the guesser to have a chance. But if you get too obscure to avoid canceling, the clues may not be strong enough for the guesser to actually pick the right answer. You’ll work your way through a stack of 13 cards, and then tally up a score to see how your team did.
Just One is a very casual game, with rules that can be taught in minutes and low-pressure gameplay that is welcoming to all kinds of players. The process of coming up with a good clue is interesting, but also lets players decide how much they want to think; either really searching for that perfect clue or just writing down the first word that comes to mind.
As all the players reveal their clues while the guesser isn’t looking, it is a fun moment as you laugh at unexpected cancellations and assess whether the remaining clues are going to be enough for the guesser. Players canceling tends to be funny in general, but it can be laugh-out-loud hilarious when most of the words are canceled and the guesser is left with just one or two words that give them no chance.
Sometimes you may give a clue that is “secondary,” in that it wouldn’t lead to the secret word by itself, but with some supporting words it can really help the guesser nail down the exact word. But if these “secondary” clues are the only ones that remain, it is often very funny how unhelpful they are to the guesser.
Each player will have one or two chances to be the guesser, and it is an interesting experience as you open your eyes to see a set of clues that oftentimes feel disjointed or confusing. Occasionally, the answer will be immediately obvious, but other times the clues are coming at the word from different angles, and it takes some thinking to identify the common thread.
When the guesser is particularly unsure, they also have a decision to make. If they guess and are wrong, the team loses not only the current card, but an additional card from the deck. However, if they choose not to guess at all, they cut their losses and only lose the current card. This can be a tricky decision when you are almost sure, but it still feels low-pressure as it isn’t the kind of game where anyone is sweating too much about the final score.
Player Counts - For the canceling of clues to really be interesting, we feel you really want at least 5 players. Despite the box claiming a 3-7 player count, playing with 8 is simple since the guesser doesn’t use their dry-erase tray or marker, so the components are sufficient for 8 players as long as the guesser passes their pieces to the previous guesser.
Abstract vs. Thematic - No attempt at theme here; just a party word game.
Luck vs. Skill - While a lot of the fun of Just One is in laughing with the group, there is still plenty of room here for the team to perform skillfully in their clue selection and ability to make the mental connections to guess the correct answers.
Multiplayer Solitaire vs. Highly Interactive - This is a party game where you are constantly interacting with the table. There is a brief time while everyone thinks and fills out their own clues, but overall you are getting a highly interactive experience.
Short Setup vs. Long Setup - Setup is as simple as dealing 13 cards into a stack, picking a start player, and you are up and running.
Easy to Teach vs. Hard to Teach - Part of what makes Just One so accessible is how easy it is to teach. In fact, I joke that almost every rules question can be answered by the name of the game. “How many words can I use in my clue?” Just One. “How many guesses do I get as the guesser?” Just One.
Low Setup Variability vs. High Setup Variability - Each game will have a new set of words which is plenty to keep things fresh, but nothing that is going to make each session feel particularly unique. Memorable moments in Just One are much more emergent from the players’ clues and guesses than the variability of the game itself.
Things to Like
✅ Such an Accessible Game - Just One is one of the most accessible games that you can have in your collection. The combination of simple rules, team cooperation, and casual gameplay make it a perfect choice for when you have players that haven’t played, or are intimidated by, modern board games and you want to have a fun experience with them.
✅ Great Balance of Interesting Gameplay and Funny Moments - Some party games focus on humor while others focus on the interest of mechanisms such as clue-giving and guessing, but Just One does a great job of balancing the two. Trying to think of clues is an interesting creative challenge, and guessing is a fun exercise in word association. But out of these mechanisms emerges many humorous moments, which is great for getting the group laughing together and also helping it to feel less serious.
✅ Encourages Creative Thinking - And the creative challenge of clue-giving warrants its own callout, as it really is a strength of the game. Not only are you trying to think of a clue that best guides the guesser to the secret word, but you are also trying to get in the heads of your fellow clue-givers to avoid getting canceled. We have had some crazy moments where two players happened to both pick the same obscure clue and are absolutely shocked that they canceled. This is not only funny, but kind of a fun shared creative moment between the players who were on the same wavelength.
✅ Potential for Amazing Guesses - When clues do cancel, the guesser may often be left with just a couple of words, or simply ones that aren’t nearly as strong without the canceled clues. But this creates the opportunity for the guesser to answer correctly against all odds, and when it happens, the entire table cheers in celebration.
✅ Cooperative Play Removes Competitive Edge - That shared excitement is a great example of the benefits of Just One being a cooperative game. For some groups, removing the competitive edge is going to create a better group dynamic than having everyone going head to head. This isn’t a game that is going to end with players feeling bad that they lost, which makes it all the more accessible.
Things to Dislike
❌ Potential for Players to Feel Stupid - The biggest problem in Just One is the potential for the guesser to feel stupid. This is true of any game that requires players to guess an answer, but it is amplified a bit here because all the other players know the secret word. There are times when the clues are revealed, and the clue-givers make comments like, “Oh, these are really good, they’ll get it for sure.” However, they are forgetting that they already know the word, and from the perspective of someone who doesn’t, the answer is much less obvious. The guesser can be left feeling like they are missing something obvious simply because the clue-givers gave that impression. This can be mitigated a bit by awareness of the issue and players even reminding everyone that it always seems more obvious when you already know the word, but it is the one aspect of this game that really could sour the experience for a player.
❌ Word Bank has a Few Terrible Choices - While most of the word choices in the game are good, there are the occasional ones that have you wondering how they made it into the game. Sometimes they are just more obscure words such as “Camembert,” “Couscous,” and “Armistice,” other times they are “words” that many people wouldn’t consider a single word such as “Lightbulb” and “Bellybutton,” and other times still there are just outright typos such as “Chuchill” and “Numan.” Some of these may have been corrected in newer editions, and in the end it isn’t a huge deal because the group can decide to just pick a new word if they all agree it isn’t a good option.
❌ Option to Pass Can Be Less Fun - When a guesser is stumped, they have the option to pass instead of guessing to ensure the team doesn’t lose an extra card. This can be an interesting decision point, but it also takes some of the fun out of the game because passing is inherently less fun than making a guess. In addition, it removes the potential for the amazing guesses that we talked about earlier in situations where they are most likely to happen. However, something you could always house-rule if your group feels strongly about it.
❌ Final Score is a Less Satisfying Win Condition - Generally speaking, the endings of cooperative games are more exciting and satisfying when there is an explicit win or loss condition. Getting a final score can often feel like a bit of an afterthought on the experience. In a game as casual as Just One it isn’t really much of a problem, and you could get around it by setting a target score before you start, but some groups may find the evaluation of their performance a bit anticlimactic.

Is It For You?
If you don’t want a cooperative party game, dislike word games, or really don’t like being put on the spot to make a guess, there’s a chance Just One won’t be for you. 👎
But if you enjoy making word associations and want a game that you can play with just about anyone and have a great time, whether it be family gatherings, casual game time with people you don’t know as well, or just a core group that enjoys laughing together over a light game — there are few games that we can recommend as whole-heartedly to just about anyone as Just One. 👍 | <urn:uuid:8c4e9796-378e-4580-9af3-b2a75f66d07b> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.ryanlangewisch.com/board-game-recommendations/reviewed-games/just-one-review | 2023-11-29T15:14:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100112.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20231129141108-20231129171108-00655.warc.gz | en | 0.970253 | 2,222 | [

I've had the TITANIUM for six months now. At first I found that single dose was weak, but now I just use double dose (I like strong coffee) At about 800 doses the unit started to leak (I can live with that), At about 1000 doses the brew unit seized mid way in "eject the puck mode". Alas my unit is now in the hands of gaggia authorized repairer to fix the leak and unseize the unit and has been there for a month awaiting for a replacement part. Apart from that I'm quite happy with the performance of the unit. Anyone else had a similar problem? (Lucky I've got another machine which I can fix my fix!!!) :-D :-D :-D
Its broken down 3 times this year now ... losing steam pressure...leaking ... failing to do anything....
Really starting to get annoyed with them.
The 2 times they have had it (i need to contact them again to get it fixed) they took almost 8 weeks to fix .... they actually told me it had been fixed and left for delivery (including giving me a delivery date) which i waited in for to no avail. | <urn:uuid:2e8b095d-39ee-4c76-9167-401d1857d175> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.coffeeforums.com/threads/gaggia-titanium.2087/ | 2023-12-03T06:55:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100489.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20231203062445-20231203092445-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.97534 | 241 | [

In a time when airport security concerns and flying anxiety are at an all-time high, the Government Accountability Office (GOA) has now found a way to increase both. Government investigators smuggled liquid explosives and detonators past airport security yesterday, exposing a major hole in the system.
The AP reported the exact steps the investigators tested, from finding a recipe for an improvised explosive device on the Internet to buying the components for less than $150. Thankfully, the AP did not report exactly what the devices were made of, or how they were smuggled past security.
However, this test did reveal that it’s possible for a terrorist to find publicly available information and cheap parts to create a bomb, and actually get it past security. This is not the first time investigators were able to get potentially dangerous items into the secure area of the airport. Earlier this year, on two different occasions, security guards missed lethal devices.
The Transportation of Security Administration (TSA) reassures us that there are several layers to airport security, and this is only one layer that failed. It does not mean that a person with intent to harm and the means to do it could actually board a plane. The TSA does agree, however, with investigators’ recommendations that more aggressive actions need to be taken to avoid an explosive situation.
We hand-pick everything we recommend and select items through testing and reviews. Some products are sent to us free of charge with no incentive to offer a favorable review. We offer our unbiased opinions and do not accept compensation to review products. All items are in stock and prices are accurate at the time of publication.

Podcasts are a great way to connect with your audience and build relationships
Podcasts are a great way to connect with your audience and build relationships. They give you the opportunity to talk directly to your customers, so they feel like you are really getting to know them. Having a podcast is another way for potential clients or users of your products/services can get in touch with you without having an obtrusive sales pitch every time they come across one of your videos on YouTube or Facebook ads.
They also help keep search engine optimization (SEO) high because Google loves audio files that people can play through their phone while out doing errands or exercising at the gym during their free time. This means more traffic will be directed towards your website which makes it easier for consumers who might not have seen any of your advertisements before but now have the ability to find them.
You can create a podcast without any previous experience or training
You don’t need to be an expert podcast creator to get started. Anyone can, without any experience or training, and/or audio production, learn the basics of podcast creation.

Do you know what are the rules on PPF maturity if you want to withdraw your money ? Do you know that you can extend your PPF account a block of 5 yrs after it’s initial maturity of 15 yrs? A lot of people think that once the PPF maturity is over, they get a licence to withdraw the money at any point of time in what ever way they want, in the case of extension of PPF. Today let me highlight some important points that you should be clear about PPF withdrawal rule in case of extension and show you how to calculate your PPF maturity amount. To start with lets answer what Kailash Chandra asked me sometime back on his PPF
I had opened PPF account on 05/05/1995 and extended for 5 years. Now the balance is Rs.651000/- as on 30/04/2012 and want to withdrawal partly. What amount can I draw please intimate. (link)
Whats the answer?
Its 60% Surprised!… lets move on
Before we move forward, let me clear that Public Provident Fund or PPF is a life time account. One can extend it for next 5 yrs for infinite times, this means you can keep on extending it for another 5 yrs after the maturity is over. That would in a way makes it look like a 5 yrs closed fixed deposit earning you applicable interest rate with tax benefits and without any taxation involved, even having a partial withdrawal benefit 🙂 That’s one reason why you want to open your PPF account right now even if you don’t need it at the moment, so that the maturity is 15 yrs away from now. See it as a milestone!
The first situation is when you want to continue your PPF account, but do not want to put any further money in it . In this case all you want to do is just leave your PPF account as it is and let it earn the interest on the account accumulated. Note that if you dont take any action for 1 yr after your PPF matures, this option is default and automatically activates. Note that once its considered as “extended without any further contribution”, then later you cant put any further subscription in it. Now you can only withdraw from the PPF account, but cannot invest any fresh money in it. Note that in this case, you can withdraw any amount from your Public Provident Fund account, there is no limit. You can withdraw 10%, 50% or 90% as there is no limit. The balance amount will keep on earning the interest further. However you can withdraw only once a year, not more than once. (Learn how PPF account interest is calculated)
Interesting Fact : Now as you know this, can you see an interesting point here, this way PPF can be acting as a great Pension tool, where you can withdraw the interest part yearly once and then utilize it for full year. For example if a PPF account has 1 crore into it, and lets say the interest is 8% (just an example). You can withdraw 5 lacs out of the Public Provident Fund account and the remaining 95 lacs will earn 8% interest, which will be 7.4 lacs. This 7.4 lacs will be added back to 95 lacs and the total next year would be 102.4 lacs. This way one can keep on withdrawing some amount from it and let it grow too.
In another option, you can choose to invest in your PPF account on regular basis even after extension. But this has to be done within 1 yr of PPF maturity (before the completion of 16 yrs in PPF). Note that in this case, you can only withdraw maximum 60% of your PPF amount in total within the entire 5 yrs block. Each year you can withdraw maximum once.
For example if your Public Provident Fund balance at maturity is Rs 1 crore. Then you can withdraw a total of maximum 60 lacs in entire 5 yr block. You can withdraw 20 lacs in first year, then 10 lacs in 2nd year and then 30 lacs in 4th year. But Once 60% is consumed , you cant touch any money further for the current block. Only when the 5 yrs are completed and new block of 5 yrs start, then your balance will be 40 lacs and then again the same rule applies. However note that at the start of a new 5 yr block, you can choose whether to continue the regular contribution or stop the contribution, like we discussed in point 1.
Important : If at the time of Public Provident Fund maturity , you will have the potential to invest more in your PPF account in coming years, then better invest more and more and only when its time to retire or when you cant contribute more, extend the PPF with “no further subscription” option.
A lot of banks (SBI) and Post office officials have no idea about PPF rules in such a detail. They will tell you that it can be extended only 2 times and hence insist on closing your PPF account once 2 extensions happen after your PPF maturity. Tell them that you know what are the rules and also teach them.
Here is the list of some of our best content.

Next, we have the WORNG Electronics SoundStage II, a module that revolutionizes the mixing process by allowing users to place sounds in the stereo field and EQ them to fit together seamlessly. Lastly, we have Likaon Instruments Marie’s LFO, which enables users to draw their own waveforms using Bézier curves for precise control over their modular setup. These exciting new modules are sure to inspire and elevate your modular synth experience.
Welcome to another edition of Midweek Modular! In this article, we will be exploring three exciting modular synth modules: the Intellijel Sealegs, the WORNG Electronics SoundStage II, and the Likaon Instruments Marie’s LFO. Each of these modules offers unique features and capabilities that can enhance your modular synthesis experience. So let’s dive in and explore what these modules have to offer!
The Intellijel Sealegs is a versatile stereo delay and reverb module that brings a touch of warmth and character to your modular setup. Inspired by the importance of having “sea legs” when sailing, the Sealegs aims to provide a wobbly and organic sound that captures the essence of a nautical adventure.
With three different types of delay (Tape, Bucket Brigade, and Crossfading Digital), the Sealegs offers a wide range of sonic possibilities. Additionally, it features input saturation, low and high pass filters, noise and crackle emulation, and a 1970s-inspired reverb. These parameters can be modulated, allowing for even greater control and creativity.
Intellijel has spared no expense when it comes to audio quality. The Sealegs boasts a 96 kHz 24-bit audio I/O with 32-bit floating point processing, ensuring pristine sound quality. Moreover, its straightforward design and slider-based interface make it incredibly intuitive and enjoyable to use.
To get a better idea of what the Sealegs can do, be sure to check out MylarMelodies’ excellent demonstration. It’s a dive into the sonic depths that this module is capable of.
For more information on the Sealegs, visit the Intellijel website. You can also explore more of Intellijel’s offerings on their dedicated page on Gearnews.
WORNG Electronics SoundStage II
If you find the mixing process intimidating or lack the space for traditional mixing equipment, then the WORNG Electronics SoundStage II might be the perfect solution for you. This module provides a unique approach to mixing within the realm of Eurorack synthesis.
The SoundStage II features 21 inputs arranged in a visual representation of a room. The horizontal placement of the patch sockets dictates the panning, while the vertical position controls the frequency content. This allows you to place sounds in the stereo field and EQ them to fit harmoniously with other voices with just a single patch.
Each input on the SoundStage II is equipped with a resonant -12dB Sallen-Key filter, which can be adjusted to control the depth of the filtering. These filters can even be pinged if you’re after a more percussive effect. The module also includes an output control with CV control, giving you the ability to employ sidechain compression.
One of the notable additions in version II of the module is the FX send and return. This enables you to incorporate external effects such as reverb into your mix, further expanding the sonic possibilities offered by the SoundStage II. WORNG Electronics has also implemented various other improvements to enhance the module’s performance and functionality.
With the SoundStage II, you can achieve a cohesive mix with your Eurorack voices without the need for extensive manual intervention. It’s a brilliant tool that simplifies the mixing process and allows your creativity to take the spotlight.
For more details on the SoundStage II, visit the WORNG Electronics website. You can also find more information about WORNG Electronics and their other products on their dedicated page on Gearnews.
Likaon Instruments Marie’s LFO
Likaon Instruments’ Marie’s LFO module brings a unique approach to waveform generation by allowing you to draw your own waveforms. Inspired by a conversation with the creative Marie Ann Hedonia and the ideas of Daphne Oram, Marie’s LFO offers an innovative way to shape and control voltage outputs.
The waveform construction in Marie’s LFO utilizes Bézier curves, a concept similar to those found in Adobe Illustrator. Using an encoder, you can select and manipulate points on the curve, shaping and defining the waveform to suit your needs. This level of control allows you to generate intricate and precise waveforms for modulation purposes.
Marie’s LFO offers both synchronous and asynchronous operation modes, giving you flexibility in how you utilize the module. You can sync it to MIDI or trigger it like an envelope, opening up a world of rhythmic possibilities. The module features four outputs that run on the same curve but can be offset from each other, enabling complex modulation routings.
Beyond its primary use as an LFO, Marie’s LFO can also be pushed into audio rate, turning it into a unique sound source. You can dive into manipulating nodes and nodules on the waveform to create complex and evolving timbres. It’s a module that can keep you mesmerized for hours.
To learn more about Marie’s LFO, visit the Likaon Instruments website.
That concludes our exploration of the Intellijel Sealegs, WORNG Electronics SoundStage II, and Likaon Instruments Marie’s LFO. Each of these modules brings something unique to the table and can greatly enhance your modular synthesis experience. Whether you’re looking for warm and organic delays, simplified mixing capabilities, or the ability to draw your own waveforms, these modules have got you covered. Happy patching!

The media are buzzing over the fact that White House counsel Don McGahn has spent some 30 hours talking to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team, and, as the New York Times revealed, President Donald Trump’s team does not know what he was asked and what he said. Indeed, according to the Times, after the initial Mueller-McGahn meeting, the President’s lawyers did not even inquire.
Logically, McGahn would have much to say on the subject of obstruction of justice. Recall that Trump reportedly instructed him to fire Mueller, and he refused to do so. Presumably, from his post in the White House, McGahn also might have extensive information about the delay in firing National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, such as what the President knew and when he learned it. That may also apply to the Trump Tower meeting between high-ranking Trump campaign officials and Russians.
In an effort to turn lemons into lemonade, Trump has taken credit for permitting McGahn to talk freely to the Mueller team. “I allowed him and all others to testify,” the President said in one of several tweets. “I didn’t have to. I have nothing to hide.” That storyline has been supported in interviews by his addled personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, who asserts that the McGahn revelations are good for Trump for two reasons:
First, Giuliani argued that McGahn said things only helpful to Trump. But when pressed, Rudy confessed he had no first-hand knowledge of what McGahn told Mueller — and all he knows is that a former personal lawyer for Trump said all was okay.
Second, Giuliani, a former U.S. Attorney, also argued that the facts were so exculpatory for the President that Trump allowed McGahn to tell all, and therefore the President declined to invoke either executive privilege or the attorney-client privilege to keep McGahn from spilling the beans.
To begin with: There is no executive privilege in a criminal investigation except for military or diplomatic matters. The Supreme Court made that clear by its unanimous decision requiring Richard Nixon to give a grand jury the White House tapes that ultimately led to his resignation.
And second, the D.C. Circuit, in an opinion the Supreme Court has refused to review, has definitively held there was no attorney-client privilege between White House Counsel and President Bill Clinton that would protect advice or documents in Ken Starr’s criminal investigation, because White House counsel are not personal lawyers to the President. In effect, McGahn does not have the same status as Giuliani.
Simply put, the Court unambiguously ruled:
President Trump’s tweets and Giuliani’s totally misleading and newly manufactured statements of the law are all false. The President did not volunteer to let McGahn talk to Mueller. The President lacked the power to stop him.

A new implementation of static caching provides problemsinelectrodynamics.com with ultra-fast page loads.
Problems in Electrodynamics is maintained in Joomla, a so-called content management system (cms) that makes it easy to structure and deploy even very large websites. Joomla itself is written in PHP, a (basically) server-side programming language and uses a MySQL database as backend. Upon request of a website, the server is called via a php script which looks into the database if there is some content attached to it. Of course, this is highly sophisticated and can be used by even older servers, but it is slow. Caching, a method to store pages that were loaded some time ago inside, makes cms-driven websites a lot faster. Nevertheless, the caching that Joomla provides direct or via third-party plugins always relies on the use of a server-side call of PHP. So even with the best "inside-Joomla" caching methods, any Joomla website will be slow if one does not have the required funds to use very strong servers.
Speed up Joomla: Serve static Content as .html, preserve dynamic Functionality
To create a static image of a website is not really complicated. All one has to do is to mirror a website with wget using the --mirror option. This is exactly what we do, however, only accepting .html-files. Now, if we would simply upload the static image of PiE, we would loose all of the dynamic functionality of Joomla. The workaround we use is to explicitly take the .html-files via a so-called rewrite-condition in the .htaccess control file excluding sophisticated requests i.e. for the rss feed. So, roughly speaking, if for a querry an html-file exists, it will be displayed, otherwise Joomla will take care of the request. You can check for yourself, if the request you filed really resulted in the delivery of a static file if you investigate the source code of the page since we marked it with a "<!-- static version! -->" tag right after the header, see below:
Please understand that we do not want to make our script public at this point. Such a step would probably unravel information regarding the server configuration we do not feel confident to show. Nevertheless, if you would like to apply this technique to your Joomla driven site and feel that you could need a helping hand, please contact.
In 2021 the Joomla-internal implementation of caching is quite sufficient. In addition to the usage of Cloudflare CDN delivery, the page's speed is now below one second. Worldwide.
So there is simply no need for the above explained workaround anymore! However, you may use it for other php content management systems that rely on database requests. | <urn:uuid:8c022106-a577-40a5-a527-cbcfa6baa0d1> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://photonics101.com/blog/2013/pie-lightning-speed-joomla | 2023-12-07T01:01:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100626.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231206230347-20231207020347-00055.warc.gz | en | 0.933711 | 587 | [

Card sharks can play their favorite casino games on the internet rather than in a traditional land-based casino. The tendency and playing experience can be quite surprising between these two types of playing atmosphere. Some players choose to play at real casinos, while others may prefer to use internet casinos. We should look into a handful of important advantages of playing at sbobet88 that have caused many players to choose it as their preferred casino game.
Many people believe, hopefully incorrectly, that winning at casino games is simply a matter of karma. However, while chance plays an important role in many games, a component of human skill can be used to alter the situation in your favor.
For example, poker is a game in which the player’s skill determines who wins and how much they win. Blackjack players can improve their game by improving their mental estimations. As a result, depending on the game, casinos might be a source of cash for the skilled player. Obviously, as with anything else, proficiency is proportional to the amount of time spent playing the games. Online casinos are a great way to win casino games while also making money. Here are a few great recommendations for making a decent living from online casinos.
1. You can play from anywhere.
Speculators no longer have to travel to a land-based casino merely to enjoy their favorite casino games, thanks to the availability of online casinos. Instead, you can play from anywhere; you don’t have to miss work to have a good time at the Casino, and you don’t have to deal with the hassle of driving to the Casino to play your favorite games. All you need is a web connection, which will allow you to access any online casino you like.
2. Additional Casino Options
You may sit in front of your Internet-connected PC and navigate to any online casino with a few mouse clicks. There are more internet casinos on the earth than land-based ones. Therefore, you have more options in choosing the Casino you want to play at, and you may switch from one to the next to enjoy the different gaming environments offered by different online casinos.
3. A Quiet Playing Space
You might acquire a better fixation in an online gaming environment. At a normal premise, there is no commotion and interruption from the waiter offering you beverages, no yelling and snickering voices from different gamers, and no distressing sound from vendors gathering and appropriating chips. You can play in a very relaxing environment in your own home and turn off the PC sound if you want.
4. Playing Multiple Games at Once
If you visit a land-based casino, you can play each type of game. Online casinos, on the other hand, allow you to play multiple games at the same time.
5. Earnings without working
Most online casinos offer various payment options that make it simple to make deposits and withdrawals. In contrast to a land-based casino, you must bring cash with you or withdraw cash from an ATM located at the Casino and then exchange the cash for casino chips before you can play the games. | <urn:uuid:af52c312-0d68-4ec5-bb42-5d528d437e04> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://buddyblogger.com/what-are-the-benefits-of-online-casino-gaming/ | 2023-12-08T03:55:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100710.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20231208013411-20231208043411-00855.warc.gz | en | 0.955633 | 630 | [

Boss LM-2B: This is an older version of the well-known LMB-3. For a long time I didn't bother reviewing it because on the surface it just looks like it would be the same as an LMB-3 but without the Ratio knob--and I happen to think the Ratio knob is a very important feature. However now that I've tested one, I found that it is different enough to warrant its own review.
The biggest difference is in the function of the Enhance knob. For both versions there is a steep narrow cut in the mids followed by a steep narrow spike of boost. But the LM-2B cuts around 1 KHz and boosts at 2 KHz, while the LMB-3 cuts and boosts at higher frequencies, across a wider slope, with steeper effect across the range of its knob-turn. The LM-2B doesn't boost nearly as much in the range above 4 KHz, so it doesn't amplify noise quite as badly as the LMB-3. Aside from the noise potential in the highs, it's up to your subjective taste which EQ effect sounds "better".
Below the mid-cut point of the Enhance, their frequency response is very similar, with no loss of lows. With the Enhance off, they both significantly roll down the high frequencies in a long wide slope, and the LM-2B does this even more than the LMB-3. On the other hand, you can consider it as a "bass boost", depending on how you set the output level. There is no way to get a flat signal from either pedal. Here is a spectrum analysis of both:
They have slightly different "feel"/response in their compression action, and this is because they use different VCA chips: the LM-2B uses a dbx 1252, while the LMB-3 uses a THAT 2159. They operate similarly, but not identically. In subjective terms, I feel the older LM-2B has a smoother action overall, and has less distortion in the lows when hit with a big amplitude peak. The LM-2B has a fixed ratio; it is impossible to know for sure just using my ears, but to the best of my perception I think it is somewhere between 10:1 and 20:1. This is pretty strong, and well-suited to peak limiting, but of course the LMB-3 can squash even harder at infinity:1. Also the LMB-3 has a fully variable ratio, for any range of light or medium compression, while the only way to get less squashing from the LM-2B is to raise the threshold (turning the knob clockwise).
Both pedals will sometimes distort a bit if you hit them with a very strong low-frequency peak, and this distortion may be heard as a slight buzz or click sound on the attack. It's not too bad mostly, and will not be heard in a live band mix. Some users say they have never heard this sound, and I don't hear it with my passive non-boosted basses, so it will depend on your individual signal and settings.
Aside from the different VCA chips, the two pedals use nearly identical components, and both are built with the classic hard-to-kill Boss ruggedness. Also, even though Boss sometimes gets a bad rap for its buffered bypass switching, in these two cases there is no complaint to make--the bypass is transparent, unity gain, with perfectly flat frequency response. Overall I like the LM-2B better than the LMB-3, because of the smoother action, and because I prefer the sound of its Enhance (in moderation); but the tradeoff is its fixed high ratio.
Price in USD: used $15 to $90 depending on condition, no longer available new.

Just about every thirty day period, the AMA highlights institutions that are section of the AMA Accelerating Modify in Health-related Schooling Consortium to showcase their function with the consortium and improvements in health-related training.
Kelly Caverzagie, MD
Affiliate dean for discovering ecosystem and instructional system Vice president for education
University of Nebraska Faculty of Medicine Nebraska Drugs
Variety of years in the consortium: 5 decades
Our ChangeMedEd initiatives have developed really appreciably around the class of time. At first, our aim was to spouse with the Place of work of Wellbeing Professions Schooling at Nebraska Medication (our integrated medical spouse) to measure and enhance the finding out natural environment within the clinical house. This was performed as a result of purposeful alignment of instructional and medical wants in addition to committed focus to collaboration and cross-pollination, not only with the health-related faculty but for all health and fitness professions education and learning. Even though that work is ongoing, our recent concentration is to optimize the wellbeing methods science (HSS) curriculum in a longitudinal vogue to increase pupil discovering and engagement in these vital ideas. One way in which we do that is to purposefully educate about Nebraska Medicine itself working with “real-life” good quality and security procedures utilised by the health method, approaches to community engagement and the use of the precise electronic health document to aid university student discovering. We are also checking out the use of style imagining ideas to facilitate scholar learning of HSS ideas in a longitudinal fashion all through the final section of their education.
Our to start with-yr healthcare pupils recently participated in a Community Engagement Working day that served as a capstone to our HSS unit concentrating on socio-economic determinants of wellness, inhabitants wellness, wellness fairness and community engagement amongst other similar topics. In this 50 percent-day session, scholar tiny teams traveled to community sites to engage leaders from a numerous listing of group partners who emphasis on health and fitness advocacy for our area inhabitants. This occasion, which was placed on maintain in 2020 because of to the COVID-19 pandemic, was once once again very effectively gained by the students as well as the group leaders who enriched university student learning by giving essential context to the matters uncovered and explored earlier in the semester.
The consortium has been a crucial useful resource for UNMC and our approach to taking care of the pandemic. It is extremely valuable to have a neighborhood of pals and colleagues from throughout the nation to deliver strategies, innovations and, really frankly, moral help, to aid us navigate these uncertain periods. I cannot hold out to see anyone in man or woman (hopefully) incredibly soon!
Health care training is quickly altering, and I believe that rate will only speed up above the upcoming 5 years. In my see, the most prominent modifications will stem from an serious focus on the UME to GME changeover in the wake of USMLE Stage 1 turning to move/fall short scoring and, a lot more importantly, the ongoing maturation of competency-primarily based healthcare schooling (CBME). Much less well known at current, but I consider is a important challenge that will direct to transform in healthcare instruction, is the role that personal fairness and for-profit well being systems will enjoy in health-related education and learning and especially in GME.
Belief, endurance and comprehension are significant to maintaining an engaged and thriving group. This is true at any time but primarily through these most difficult of occasions. Grace should really be a phrase that all of us add to our every day vocabulary! I imagine it also significant to try to remember our collective record and that we have been by tricky instances prior to and have generally ended up much better on the other aspect. I feel that will be the scenario as we seem toward the long run as nicely. | <urn:uuid:6c6dd676-770a-4fdc-9af4-e8a0f77223d6> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://healthylifesylee.com/optimizing-health-systems-science-at-university-of-nebraska-college-of-medicine.html | 2023-12-10T14:00:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679102469.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20231210123756-20231210153756-00655.warc.gz | en | 0.961031 | 779 | [

A new book is promoting a new, mechanistic, theory of why we laugh.
According to the authors of Inside Jokes: Using Humor to Reverse-Engineer the Mind Human being have a sense of humor because the mind is a computer (“our brains are Chevy engines running Maserati software”) dedicated to constantly making sense of the world on the basis of incomplete information. Because mistakes are inevitable, says co-author Matthew Hurley:
“Finding and disabling these errors is a critical task. But it’s a resource-hungry job that has to compete with everything else our brains are doing. We think the pleasure of humor, the emotion of mirth, is the brain’s reward for discovering its mistaken inferences. Basically, the brain has to bribe itself to do this important work.”
Laughter, then, is an incentive to get your computer-mind to do a critical task.
But wait: why would the mind need a bribe if it’s a computer?
Let’s come back to that question, because the “disabling errors” theory fails to adequately describe humor before it fails to adequately describe people.
If humor is a reward for catching and detecting mistakes, then why don’t I laugh whenever I use catch a spelling mistake? Why don’t I laugh when I finally remember where I put my keys? Why don’t I laugh when I check my bank account and realize I’ve spent more than I thought?
Why, in other words, is there an enormous category of “discovering mistaken inferences” that don’t lead to laughter? There are a whole host of reactions to discovering mistaken inferences, and humor is only one of them: the “disabling errors” theory does nothing to explain where the others come from, or why we’d have them if humor is the mind’s designated mechanism.
There are also many uses humor is put to that don’t fit the criteria of “disabling errors.” Aggressive humor is a well documented phenomenon: how do racist jokes that reinforce stereotypes serve to discover mistaken inferences? How does watching someone get hit in the face with a pie disable errors? How do playground taunts among children elicit laughter if no mistaken inference has been discovered?
It may be unpleasant, but aggressive humor is a real phenomenon – and the “disabling errors” theory has nothing to say about it.
Nor does it have anything to say about the other side of the spectrum: the use of humor to solidify group identity. People who tell in-jokes aren’t discovering mistaken inferences – they’re connecting with one another. No error was disabled, but it was definitely funny.
What about humor through repetition? One of the tools in the comedian’s kit is the “call-back,” a reference to an earlier joke. It doesn’t have anything to do with mistaken inferences, but people laugh.
The authors of “Inside Jokes” have chosen to focus on a very narrow substrata of humor, and claimed to use it to “reverse engineer” the human mind. But in fact they haven’t even explained jokes.
But the most serious error is the one I alluded to at the very beginning: they mechanize human beings – “the brain is a computer” – and then try to explain a fundamentally humanistic phenomenon: “why does a computer laugh?” The result is a non-sequitor.
The whole point of computer programs is that they don’t need to be bribed to do their jobs: computers only laugh when their programmers tell them to. It is human beings who respond to extrinsic motivation, and who laugh in spite of all social pressure.
Attempts to explain human behavior that start with “the mind is a machine” are not only destined to fail, they are destined to look very clumsy doing it. Humanistic questions require humanistic answers. The very fact that we ask humanistic questions about ourselves … why do we laugh? Why do we love? What is a meaningful way to live … takes us out of the purview of machines and exposes the metaphor for what it is: a way to grapple with our humanity that doesn’t admit it exists in the first place. The quest to “reverse-engineer” the mind has a less human human being as its holy grail.
That’s not funny.

Who said that life is fair? Fairness is a human-created concept and life does not play by our rules. Life is not and never will be fair. Expecting anything but this absolute truth is naive.
Likewise, there is no stability, certainty, control or security in life. These are human-created concepts that do not exist in nature. It is vital to let go of these ideas to find freedom. In essence, stop asking answerless Why? questions. Replace them with queries like, What can I do to make things better?
When working with clients, we always come around to the idea that life is not fair. They will tell me, It is not fair. I am sick. I am in pain.
I completely understand these thoughts, since I live the same reality of chronic pain, but I challenge them with the question, Can you show me the signed contract that promises you a fair life? Did you sign it at birth? Is it notarized? Who are you going to complain to for breach of contract?
This usually elicits a chuckle from even the most serious of clients. However, all humor aside, the comments are really not meant to be funny, as much as they are intended to provoke thought. So, I ask them again, Why does life have to be fair? Who says?
Nature does its own thing. We can not impose our concepts on it and expect it to play by the rules, ethics and standards that we arbitrarily accept and embrace.
We have little to no power to impart fairness to the world in most things that we, as a species, actually do control, such as society, human rights, finance and personal freedom, try as we may. We certainly have absolutely no ability to enforce fairness in matters much larger than us, such as those governed by natural law and random selection.
We get sick. We have pain. We suffer. We die.
Suffering is inherent to the human condition, but it is only a small part of our journey here. Suffering should not take center-stage, nor should it ever define who we are. However, trying to avoid suffering will only beget more suffering. This is universal truth of classic philosophy which has proven itself throughout the ages.
I love to dialogue with my clients about fairness. I find that it is a great topic to open their eyes to many important truths of life:
First, they can see that suffering is all around and that each of us faces unique struggles and turmoils in life. They are certainly not alone. Suffering is a thread that sews each of us together; a shared burden, if you will.
Next, the subject of fairness gives rise to the idea that each person’s sufferings might be different, but none are inherently worse than others. We all have pain, in our own way. Unless you can live inside a person’s mind and body, you will never know the extent that they have been negatively impacted by life and its unfair circumstances.
Finally, embracing the idea that the expectation of fairness is baseless and ridiculous takes away so many of the unproductive thought patterns and unanswerable questions. Why? becomes Why not? There no longer has to be internal dialogs that circle endlessly upon each other, leading to the client being forever stuck in their suffering. Instead, the client can begin to see the larger picture of life and finally progress to positive mindsets they would not have thought possible before.
So, in summation, I leave all of you with a question to consider:
If life is not fair, then what exactly is it?
The answer I choose to provide is the following:
“Life is opportunity. It is the chance to do the best and live the best that we can. It is a challenge and it is not meant to be easy. This is the whole point of the journey. We must meet the obstacles head-on and do all we can to impart fairness into the world, despite the world not meeting us at least halfway in return.” | <urn:uuid:3a6e93ee-5e25-4d6f-be36-33ee761726e8> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.chronic-pain-coach.com/life-is-not-fair | 2023-11-28T11:58:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679099514.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20231128115347-20231128145347-00855.warc.gz | en | 0.972886 | 832 | [
