Braunton school still needs special measures

A Braunton primary school still needs special measures despite the good start made by its new head teacher.
Gill Gillett took over at Southmead Primary School last term.
Previously, she was head of Bishops Tawton Primary, which Ofsted said was an outstanding school and highlighted her outstanding leadership.
Inspectors who visited Southmead praised the good efforts she had made during the summer term and the good start she had made in identifying some key changes required to secure improvement.
You may also want to watch:
But lead inspector Daniel Towl says that - in spite of Mrs Gillett's efforts so far - Southmead still needs special measures to improve because the school is not delivering an acceptable standard of education.
He says the school has suffered three years in which pupils' achievements have been declining and urgent measures need to be taken to ensure they improve.

- 2 People and businesses asked to join Barnstaple clean up
- 3 Link centre consultation 'absolute nonsense' say campaigners
- 4 'Neglected' North Devon taxi firm challenged by councillors
- 5 Real ice rink coming to Barnstaple Christmas Village
- 6 £2.1m upgrade will provide space for 38 new North Devon jobs
- 7 Drink spiking crackdown after needle attack - Devon Police
- 8 Good news for Combe Martin’s water quality
- 9 Bideford's First Food and Drink Festival coming soon
- 10 Appeal goes out to patients as Devon's health service buckle under pressure
Mrs Gillett said that was already happening with consultants from the education authority advising on English, maths and Early Years' provision.
She said during the autumn term she would be joining the advisers in observing lessons throughout the school and ensuring the teachers knew exactly what every child had to do to improve their learning.
Each child's learning goals would be regularly communicated to parents so the whole school community was involved in raising standards.
Mrs Gillett said staff at the school had had to cope with an immense amount of changes over the past few years and a lack of clarity, communication and continuity over time had contributed to the Ofsted finding.
But she added: "They are keen to build on our foundations to raise standards and to ensure children at this school have a positive learning experience with staff who enjoy challenges and who have clear direction from school leaders and managers."
The Ofsted report says governors had not always challenged the school leadership as strongly as they might because of a lack of understanding about how well the school was performing.
Roy Lucas, who took over as chairman of governors last term, said: "I am kept much better informed now and I shall certainly be able to challenge Gill and the staff in the future."
Mr Lucas said he was sure the entire school community would pull together to ensure standards were swiftly raised. | <urn:uuid:43ebe4d1-2390-49ed-adc8-97664c487f97> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.northdevongazette.co.uk/news/braunton-school-still-needs-special-measures-5933892 | 2021-10-24T07:12:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585911.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20211024050128-20211024080128-00676.warc.gz | en | 0.983127 | 661 | [

Data breaches are terrible and usually messy affairs for everyone involved. It may be a reputation nightmare for the company that has suffered a data breach, but things can be so much worse for its customers.
Where do people even start doing damage control when they hear their information could have been compromised in a data breach? Well, here are five essential steps to take if someone suspects there is stolen data.
1. Verify Whether Any Data Has Been Stolen
It’s easy to panic whenever a new data breach announcement pops up, but things might not be quite as dire at first glance. Since not every system works in the same way, only some people’s data may be compromised. Whenever a data breach occurs, a company is often able to protect some of the data.
So, the first step should always be to verify whether the data breach occurred and determine what happened. Usually, people turn to news sites for this, but it’s better to hear it straight from the source. Look out for any announcements from the company, and if those are missing, reach out to them for information.
Every person is within their rights to know what is going on with their data. If a data breach has occurred, they have to know about it. So, the company must notify everyone, but sadly this isn’t a perfect world.
2. Find Out What Was Stolen
Before you can make any decisions, it’s important to understand what type of data we’re talking about. Email addresses can be at risk due to phishing potential, but passwords are worse – especially if people reuse them or don’t have 2FA enabled. You can cancel credit cards, but there’s no way to change a social security number.
So, understanding what type of data is now compromised will help with:
- Knowing the severity of the issue.
- Realizing what needs to be done going forward to curb the potential for any further damage.
What types of data can hackers expose in a breach?
- Email addresses (most common)
- Passwords and security questions
- Telephone numbers
- IP addresses
- Personal information like name and surname, birth date, and physical address
- Credit/debit card information and other banking details
- Social security number
- Personal ID documents, like driver’s licenses
- Intellectual property
- Personal photos or videos
Having any combination of these types of personal data stolen could have devastating effects. Criminals can get into important accounts, empty a person’s bank account, commit identity fraud or credit card fraud.
3. Get a Plan in Motion
What often turns a data breach into a crisis is when people don’t do anything about it. They learn that their data has been stolen, panic, and then leave it at that. But this is a crucial time to act because you can still try to salvage the situation.
What you need to do depends on the situation, however. First off, see if the company is offering any help to deal with the fallout from the breach. Many companies will (and really should) offer assistance with things like advice, monitoring, and even financial restitution. After the 2017 Equifax breach, the credit reporting agency offered cash reimbursements, identity restoration services, and credit file monitoring.
Even if the company isn’t offering anything of this sort, it’s important to take a hands-on approach. For example, if a hacker stole your password, make sure to change it and security questions for that account. Also, add two-factor authentication if you haven’t activated it for that account. If credit card information has been stolen, check credit reports and monitor account activity. Also, consider placing a credit freeze or fraud alert on the account, or just cancel the card entirely.
This is also the time to start becoming more vigilant. Be on the lookout for phishing attempts, scam calls, and any unusual activity on accounts or devices. If any personally identifiable information (PII) like social security or driver’s licenses was compromised, the relevant authorities should be notified. For example, if a driver’s license number has been exposed, you should notify the authorities.
4. Strengthen Online Security
Cybersecurity isn’t a one-off task. It’s a continuous habit. But if someone’s data has been compromised, it’s time to reevaluate and adjust. First and foremost, should be passwords and account safety. Review these and remember to avoid saving passwords on a browser. Use a reputable password manager instead, if necessary.
Online privacy and security aren’t just about strengthening password safety and locking devices. It’s also about what information people choose to share online and where they do it. Reevaluate each post before posting it online to see what others can glean from that information. Be wary of adding location tags.
Also, look at what accounts are still open and the apps you have on your devices. Delete all of these old accounts and apps to offer a way for hackers to get more information or hack a device.
5. Get a VPN
These days, the problem with data is not just what people opt into sharing but also what they don’t intentionally share. Companies, governments, agencies, websites, and outsiders of all kinds are monitoring what people do online via their browsing activity. It’s popularly called a digital footprint, and it contains a lot of sensitive personal information. This information is stored in various servers all over the world.
While there has been some legislative reform in this area thanks to initiatives like the GDPR, sadly, there’s still a lot of invasive data tracking happening. So people are turning to tools like virtual private networks (VPNs) to defend themselves. A VPN is a service that keeps outsiders from tracking a device or network’s internet activities by encrypting the connection.
With a VPN installed, the connection is secured and also routed through a VPN server first, rendering online activities private. Not even a person’s ISP can track what exactly they’re doing online. This is a great way to take back control of who gets hold of one’s data.
All of the information and tips here are not just important for individual people. Companies should take these into account, as they are just as much at risk when a data breach occurs. Except their risk is often on a much larger scale.
Teach employees about cyber safety and what they need to do when they suspect a breach. | <urn:uuid:7d2290c2-1e19-42d5-9e8a-acf50d263ad4> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://getassist.net/what-to-do-after-data-breach/ | 2021-10-25T21:41:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587767.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20211025185311-20211025215311-00036.warc.gz | en | 0.936461 | 1,356 | [

Here is a comprehensive list of online shopping sites in Nigeria and tips to shop safely online.
Ecommerce has grown tremendously in Nigeria in the past five (5) years, as a result of this growth, there are various online shops in Nigeria, and online shopping in Nigeria has taken a whole new dimension.
Online shopping is not just the easiest way to buy things right now. It’s one of the best ways to check out various items and compare them before making your choice.
Shopping online in Nigeria has grown tremendously over the years, and as a result of a larger percentage of Nigerians now buy their desired electronic and fashion items online.
I have compiled a list of online shopping sites in Nigeria, and hopefully, you’d find it resourceful.
Online Shopping Sites In Nigeria
Jumia claims to be the number one online retailer store in Nigeria. They sell various types of items ranging from the electronic device to fashion accessories and toys; name it.
Being one of the most popular online stores in Nigeria, they have established their brand as a household name in Nigeria, just like you have Amazon and eBay in the United States.
They are based in Lagos but delivery across the country. They also have pay on the delivery option that allows buyers to pay only when their goods are being delivered.
Konga is currently the most popular eCommerce store in Nigeria. It’s said to have the highest funding for a start-up in Africa. It sells various items directly and through other merchant sites. Konga has it’s own payment and delivery system.
Konga is also based in Lagos but offer nationwide delivery.
Kaymu is a general e-commerce retail store. They sell various items and rely solely on merchant retail. They allow sellers to create a store and list their items. A buyer can then make a purchase, and as such Kaymu stands in between the buyers and sellers to ensure a smooth transaction.
Slot Nigeria Limited is a trendy electronic retailer in Nigeria. They have both offline and offline store. They sell online electronic device; mainly phones and laptops.
Slot limited sells most popular brand products like Samsung, HP, Tecno, Apple, etc.
Microstation is very much similar to that of Jumia; they have both online and offline store and sells an electronic product.
Just like Konga, Jumia, and Payporte, GidiMall offers to pay on delivery service as well, so you don’t have to worry about losing your hard-earned money online.
GidiMall offers a wide range of products from electronic appliances to fashion and other accessories. They offer both direct sales options and merchant sales.
Payporte is one of the fastest-growing online shopping sites in Nigeria. They recently introduced their pay on delivery service just like Jumia and Konga. They retail various types of items.
Payporte is headquartered in Abuja, but the process to all states of the country. They offer free delivery service to customers in Lagos and Abuja for most of their product, and their pay on delivery service is completely free.
Drinks.ng claims to be the largest alcohol and non-alcoholic wine delivery service in Nigeria. We’ve seen sites that are focused only on technology products or fashion product solely.
Drinks focus mainly on beverages delivery across the country. They offer a wide range of payment options and offer quick delivery service; especially within Lagos.
Mystore is a self-acclaimed number one online largest indigenous marketplace in Nigeria. They provide a platform where buyers and seller meet to complete their purchase transaction.
They provide a large market place for various categories of product.
Smartbuy is another online shop In Nigeria that focuses solely on electronic product. Located in Lagos, but deliver across the 36 states of the country.
They sell branded electronic and mobile phone items.
Very similar to Smartbuy and other technology-focused online shopping sites. They sell only electronic products. They offer to pay for delivery service; they also offer free delivery service in Lagos as well as cash on delivery service for customers.
OLX is not a typical shopping site compared to the ones I have listed above. It’s a listing website where sellers list items for sales and buyers with interest, can make direct contact with the buyer to complete their transaction.
Although there are numerous products listed on OLX, however, the main issue it the security of the transaction, because there has been a report of fraud on the site.
This list of online shopping sites in Nigeria is not completed because there are other shopping sites. But I have decided to list out the ones I have personal experience with to avoid recommending sites I don’t know much about.
When buying online, it’s important to put some security measure in place to avoid falling victim of online fraud.
If the site you’re about to purchase offers payment on delivery, I strongly advise that you take advantage of the pay on delivery option to avoid using your card on sites you don’t trust.
You can also Google search the site online to check the experience of users.
Tips For Safe Online Shopping in Nigeria
The most exciting development in the eCommerce market in Nigeria is the introduction of “Pay On Delivery” options in most online shops In Nigeria.
The pay on delivery option does not only increase Nigerians trust in e-commerce, but it also provides an avenue to see what you’re buying before making payment.
Although the number of reported fraud in Nigeria e-commerce is not alarming as compared to other developed countries with cases of credit card fraud. It is important to keep some safety measures in place when doing online shopping in Nigeria.
Here are safety measures to keep you safe when shopping online in Nigeria.
1. Pay On Delivery
Most popular eCommerce stores in Nigeria (Konga, Jumia, Kaymu) now offer pay on delivery service. This kind of services allows the buyer to make payment only when their items are being delivered.
It’s advisable to take advantage of this option when it is available on the store.
The pay on delivery option does not only protect your card details from exposure, but it also allows you to confirm the specification of the item you’re buying. Rather than paying and stressing yourself with return shipping in-case the product isn’t what you want.
2. Use Virtual Card
Well, I don’t know of other banks. But Guarantee trust bank now offers a virtual card option that can be linked with your regular master card. The virtual card can be used once and deleted, and you can generate as much virtual card as you want from the same card.
When purchasing an item online, using public internet service or a public computer, the virtual card option is the best way to prevent other users and hackers from having access to your card details.
3. Shipping Address
Nigeria addresses are not always specific; this makes it very easy to lose your package due to poor specification.
When shopping online in Nigeria, try as much as possible to be explicit when describing your residential address. You should also find a way of adding your mobile number just in case there is a need for the delivery person to reach out to you when making delivery.
If you live outside the big cities of Nigeria, it’s advisable to use an easily traceable proxy address, rather than your residential address provided it’s not easily identifiable.
4. 2-Step Verification
Although most banks don’t offer this option by default. I know GTbank usually require customers to enter an OTP (One time password) on the payment page when making payment online.
The OTP is automatically sent to the customer’s phone number associated with the bank account on which the transaction is about to occur.
So, if you don’t have the 2-step verification activated already, it’s advisable to visit the nearest branch of your bank and make inquiries about how to enable this service.
It does not incur additional cost on your account; so I see no reason why you shouldn’t activate it, especially when the benefits outweigh the disadvantages (if any at all)
You can also get a token device if your bank does not offer OTP on mobile line. It cost about two thousand naira to get a token device for your bank account.
5. Use Familiar Website
Don’t just input your card details on any website because you think it’s a “good deal.” Hackers have the reputation of cloning popular sites in other to acquire information from users.
To avoid falling victim of such incidence, shop only on trusted websites. Don’t access the website by clicking on links sent to you through email. Always input the URL address of the site into your browser yourself. That way, you’d be sure you’re accessing the original site and not a cloned version.
6. Password Should Be Password
I get it, you don’t want to forget your password, so you think using your name, or your date of birth would make it easy for you to remember. It is a horrible idea!
It’s supposed to be a password; something that cannot be easily guessed by a third party. Not your surname or date of birth.
When shopping on a website that stores payment and shipping details and you’re required to create an account on the site. While creating an account, make sure you use a powerful password that is difficult to guess by your best friend.
It’s advisable to use upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Even if you forget the password over time, you can always use the “forgot password” option to recover your password through your email address.
7. Secure Your Computer and Browser
Ensure your computer operating system is up to date. Malware and other infections on your computer might make your computer susceptible to phishing attempts by hackers.
Always use updated browsers and have an antivirus and malware protection software installed on your computer. Most of this software would alert you when you’re about to access an unsecured website.
8. Https Not Http:
This might not make much difference to those that are not tech-savvy, but I would write about it either ways.
Some online shops in Nigeria are more secured because of additional security measure installed on the server hosting the site. Websites with https (take note of the “s”) are considered more secured because of the secure socket layer attribute of the server.
Don’t ever shop on a website without the “s.” Such sites are liable to server attack, and as a result, your details on their server might be at risk.
If you know of other popular online shopping sites or better ways to shop safely in Nigeria with which you have personal experience, you can mention them in the comment box, and I’d be happy to add them to the post. | <urn:uuid:f35b6aaa-d5b3-4a8b-9c06-f0f1028e516b> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://techorganism.com/online-shops-nigeria/ | 2021-10-25T20:54:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587767.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20211025185311-20211025215311-00036.warc.gz | en | 0.941116 | 2,301 | [

Tell us about your background.
I have come from the rural sector in Edinburgh Scotland, where I spent seven years working at an agricultural college, SRUC (Scotland’s Rural University College). Growing up on a sheep farm in the Manawatu New Zealand I really enjoyed going back to the rural environment, which is ultimately my roots. I had some great career progression at SRUC starting off as an Executive Assistant and moving into an International Engagement/Alumni role networking with other agricultural colleges around the globe and supporting marketing campaigns to raise awareness of the benefits of choosing an agricultural career path and staying connected as an alumni.
What do you do now?
I work as the Corporate Services Associate at NZ Avocado. This involves working closely with CEO, Jen Scoular and the wider team to support a variety of projects. These include Board meetings and governance, managing annual planning timelines and undertaking activities to progress delivery.
How did you get that role? What was the pathway to that?
I was successful via ‘Seek’ submitting an online job application followed by three rounds of interviews (two via phone and one in person). It was my first time applying for a role online and being successful. When I saw the job advertised, it sort of felt like the job was perfect for my skillset, I remember thinking ‘I have a really realistic shot at this!’ and was genuinely excited at the prospect of returning to the horticulture sector having worked in agriculture in the UK.
What’s the best thing about your role?
The variety to the job. No day is the same and there is some travel involved. I am also a bit of chatter box and I get to network and engage with a lot of people across the horticulture sector which is really valuable for me to understand the world of avocados better.
Do you travel much for the role ?
Yes sometimes I do. I think the highlight so far was our growers forum in Whangarei. I’ve been away from NZ for a long long time and it’s been really exciting to reconnect with parts of Aoteroa I am less familiar with and meet some of the growers/stakeholders I deal with over the phone or vial email.
Was being a woman a hindrance or a help in getting this role?
I think it was neutral actually. While traditionally there are more women in Senior Admin or Executive Assistant roles, I felt that NZ Avocado were simply interested in the best candidate with the right skillset to fit the role, be that a man or women.
Do you have any qualifications?
I have a bachelor of arts with a double major, am a licensed pedicab driver (that’s a whole other story from my time in Scotland)! Am a qualified Trail Cycle Leader for road and mountain biking and have my first aid certificate.
Did you require any specific education or training for this role?
In an ideal world yes. Any training within the secretarial area, board governance or commerce and management would be beneficial, but I actually learnt most of my skills on the ‘job’ for this role while in the UK. I was lucky in my time at SRUC to be sent on a variety of training courses to upskill to support my professional development.
If you had your time again would you do anything different?
Yes. I would have taken a year out after school and delayed starting University until I was more certain about what I wanted to study. Education and study opens doors and pathways and while I am proud of my degree I could have channeled the focus more clearly.
Do you have any advice/tips for other women wanting a role like yours?
Learn or take advice from someone who does a job you aspire to! Don’t be afraid to ask questions too – and believe in yourself. I think one of the biggest challenges we face as women is having the confidence to believe we are truly capable. If you can dream it you can have it.
As a woman involved in horticulture is there anything that you would like to see change that would make your life/role better?
I would like to see more respect from our male counterparts. This is not a generalization for all the men in our industry, but at times, I have definitely felt like my opinion does not count so much simply because I am a women. I would also like to see more boards with even numbers for males/females and more pathways to the top in place for women in this sector, which is why the WiH is such a great initiative helping to bridge this gap.
Have you received any awards? Can you tell us a little about them
I rode professionally as a cyclist for several years in Europe and the USA and have some palmares from that time:

This week’s delivery from Dock to Dish is pretty exciting. The first fish we will be working with is Montauk Yellowfin Tuna caught by Captain Chris Burger, who has stepped into the lead rod-and-reel tuna fisherman position for Dock to Dish this season. He landed this Yellowfin haul after a two-day expedition on his boat the F/V Defiance, and returned to shore specifically to deliver this week’s Dock to Dish shares before loading up on more ice and fuel before heading back out for another 48-hour tour. Chef Charles Rodriguez will be serving this tuna as a tartare with ginger, shallots, lime, and chives, and as an entrée seared with fennel, heirloom tomatoes, apricots, corn, arugula, chervil and creme fraîche (see below).
We also received Montauk Jonah Crab, caught by Captain John Aldridge during a 36-hour stint at sea on the F/V Anna Mary. Jonah crabs are East Coast crustaceans which have sweet, delicate flavor, quite similar to the coveted West Coast Dungeness crab. The generous size of their claws are comparable to those of Stone crabs. When harvesting these crabs, Captain Aldridge sorts the largest crabs from each trap, systematically removing their claws one-by-one, and packing the claws immediately into containers in crushed ice. He then releases the still live crabs back into the ocean, where a significant percentage of them should eventually regenerate new claws. We will be serving the crab meat from the claws in a salad topped with cucumber, avocado, lime and cherry tomato vinaigrette. | <urn:uuid:8a5b0dc5-7a58-49f9-a47e-d77c11be075d> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.printrestaurant.com/this-week-from-dock-to-dish-montauk-yellowfin-tuna-and-montauk-jonah-crab/ | 2021-10-25T20:56:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587767.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20211025185311-20211025215311-00036.warc.gz | en | 0.946338 | 341 | [

Each team in the NBA has now played about 20 games, which means we have about a quarter of the season in the books. This is a good time to take a look at the odds to see how they match up with how things have gone to this point. It is worth remembering that we are still relatively early in the season, so we can still expect to see some changes between now and the end of the year. Good team who are off to a slow start are likely to begin climbing, while others will falter along the way. Rather than looking at the championship, we thought it might be a good idea to look at the favorites to win each conference. With that in mind, let’s get right to it so you can keep planning your bets and place them against their NBA Conference odds.
Teams That Look Favored To Win Each 2021 NBA Conference
The Brooklyn Nets were among the favorites at the start of the season, but after swinging the trade to land James Harden, the Nets (+150) are now the clear favorites in the East. They have had a bit of a wobbly start, if we are being honest, but they are putting together a winning streak now and have moved to 12-8 on the season. That has them in 4th in the conference, but also just a game and a half out of first.
The Milwaukee Bucks (+330) have been a bit of a surprise this season in that they are not anywhere near the dominant force they have been the past couple of seasons. Still, they are 11-6 right now and sitting in second in the East. You also get the sense that this team can step it up a gear or two as the season progresses, but will that carry over into the postseason, where they have come up short the past two years.
The Philadelphia 76ers (+550) look like a good bet right now, as they are currently sitting on top in the Eastern Conference. It’s not a huge lead, though, and it does look as though we are going to see a battle for first as the season progresses.
If you look at the Western Conference odds, it certainly looks as though we are in for a two-horse race. It is no surprise that the LA Lakers (+110) are in as the favorites, as they are the defending champions, but they are sitting a little off the pace at the moment behind the surprising Utah Jazz.
The LA Clippers (+300) are the team that everyone expected to be the biggest threat to the Lakers this season and they are living up to those expectations in the early going. The Clippers are in 3rd and a game back of the Lakers, as well as being a game and a half out of first.
The surprise of the season is the Utah Jazz (+850), who are currently sitting at the top of the Western Conference. The Jazz are on a 10-game winning streak at the moment, but is that a sign that they are in this for the long haul, or is it a bubble waiting to be burst. It is going to be interesting to review the odds again at the midway point of the season.

No, you can’t buy FIFA 17 at your local stores at the moment. But EA has revealed the game’s top professional soccer players.
And guess what, after a total period of seven years, Ronaldo of Real Madrid has finally displaced Lionel Messi of Barcelona as the highest rated player in the game.
You read that right. After countless of years of scoring an incredible amount of goals, Ronaldo has finally convinced EA Sports that he deserves the number one spot ahead of Lionel Messi who has dominated the game for much of the past decade both on the field and in corresponding FIFA series.
Check out the official list of top 10 players in FIFA 17,
1- Cristiano Ronaldo 94
It has finally happened for the Real Madrid forward. After leading his club side, Real Madrid, to Champions League glory last season and then helping his national side, Portugal, to win the Euro 2016 cup competition, there is hardly a player who deserves the top spot more than Cristiano Ronaldo.
After spending the good part of the last seven years playing second fiddle to Lionel Messi, Ronaldo has finally achieved his dream of being ranked as the highest rated player in FIFA 17.
Well, the dream part is probably not true, but you can’t help but wonder if more people will play as Real Madrid in their FIFA career mode as well as in online matches against other human players because of Ronaldo being top ranked.
As far as the 94 rating goes, well, Ronaldo is probably the most complete player of all time and not just of this generation so he deserves it.
He can shoot with his right foot as well as with his left foot. He can head the ball like no other player in the world at the moment. He can also leap as high as anybody else and his hang time has never been witnessed before on a football field.
Ronaldo scored over 50 goals for the sixth time in his career because of which he lead Real Madrid to two very important trophies last season.
Cristiano Ronaldo also fought through a thigh problem to play for his national side in Euro 2016 and even though his national team, Portugal, was one of the underdogs of the tournament and almost got knocked out of the competition in the group stages, Ronaldo came up with the goods at critical moments to make history with his national side.
Now, even though Ronaldo has been ranked second, and sometimes even third, in EA’s FIFA series in the past decade or so, his in-game abilities have been more influential than the former number one player in the world (of FIFA) Lionel Messi.
EA Sports has always ranked Messi above Ronaldo because of the trophies he won with his club side and because of his superior ball skills.
But many FIFA players have corroborated the experience that Ronaldo has been unusually overpowered in FIFA since the beginning.
The reason why Ronaldo has been more potent than Lionel Messi even though Ronaldo has been ranked below him in the past seven years is because of Ronaldo’s speed and strength.
Both attributes play a big role in FIFA games when deciding which team will win a match.
Of course, real life football is different from EA Sports FIFA game but Ronaldo is virtually unstoppable when running with the ball as far as FIFA game series is concerned.
Now, as a result of Ronaldo’s consistent performances over the last two or three seasons which also coincided with Messi’s loss of form, fans of Real Madrid can finally feel proud of having the highest ranked player in the game on their side.
2- Lionel Messi 93
Messi always deserves respect for the things he has done on the football pitch despite his small size and the raters at EA Sports FIFA division have made sure that Messi receives every bit of attention that he deserves.
This year though, Messi will have to sit behind Ronaldo in terms of being the highest rated player in FIFA 17.
Many would have thought that EA Sports FIFA 17 might again go with Messi’s reputation instead of his performances over the last couple of seasons but as it turns out, EA Sports FIFA division has finally bucked the trend and have made Messi the second highest rated player in FIFA.
Needless to say, Messi’s ranking of 93 is totally justified.
His left foot is made of gold and whenever Messi picks up the ball with his left foot it looks like the ball is glued to his feet.
He can change direction very rapidly and can accelerate to his maximum speed much quicker than anyone else. Hence, he is one of the world’s premier attackers in terms of his ability to destroy entire defenses with a couple of clever touches on the ball.
The reason for why EA Sports demoted Messi to the number two spot seems clearer by the day. Messi simply wasn’t able to bring his A game into the big games and hence his poor form during the most critical stages of the Champions League last season cost Barcelona a second consecutive Champions League title which would have made Barcelona the first ever soccer team to have defended its Champions League title.
Nevertheless, Messi still managed to score over 40 goals in a single season for the seventh consecutive time in his career and that apparently was enough for EA Sports to place him at the number two position in terms of ability on the pitch.
3- Neymar 92
Neymar also deserves his place at number three. He scored a mammoth number of goals last season and helped Barcelona win important away games in La Liga.
He can shoot with his left foot as well as with his right foot and can take free kicks as well. He can dribble really well with the ball and has a good work ethic.
Not to mention his tremendous speed and a wide collection of tricks.
Neymar is probably the most well-rounded player in the top 10 list of highest rated players and hence justifies his rating of 92.
There are very few things, if any, that Neymar can’t do on the pitch and Barcelona fans have been wreaking havoc on other teams for much of the past three years by tormenting defenses in FIFA games with Barcelona trio of Messi, Neymar, and Suarez.
Which brings us to the final piece of his awesome attacking power.
4- Luis Suarez 92
He scored a total of 59 goals from 53 games last season. Most strikers who are considered prolific score around one goal per two games.
Suarez has completely annihilated that scoring ratio by scoring more than once every game.
Not only that, most of Suarez’s goals were important goals which won Barcelona crucial points last season.
And just like Neymar and Ronaldo, Suarez can also hit the ball equally well with his left and right foot.
He isn’t the strongest player in terms of airplay but he can certainly do enough damage with his feet to not have to worry about being effective at heading the ball.
A rating of 92 is justified also because Suarez managed to score some tremendous goals against the greatest teams in the world.
5- Manuel Neuer 92
Neuer has changed the way people look at goalkeepers. He is very comfortable on the ball and can pass with surprising accuracy both in real life and in FIFA.
Most players who go for Bayern Munich while playing FIFA games do so because Neuer can not only keep the ball out of your team’s net but also help out defenders in distributing the ball more effectively and efficiently.
Neuer really is an extra outfield player, despite being a goalkeeper, when is on form.
A rating of 92 is justified for a goalkeeper that can pass as well as any defender in the world.
6- Gareth Bale 90
Bale with his speed, power and strength deserves to be ranked at the 6th position.
His main weakness is his right foot and his fitness. He remained injured for most of the season, last season as well so it is a miracle that Bale was able to convince EA Sports FIFA team to rank him this high for the game’s 2016 edition.
7- Zlatan Ibrahimovic 90
Ibrahimovic has been scoring a lot of goals for his club side, PSG (now he has left the club for Manchester United).
The only reason why Ibrahimovic is not ranked higher in terms of ratings is because he has been playing in a relatively weak league for the past four or five years.
Other than that, Zlatan has all the qualities one could want from a striker.
The biggest benefit of playing Zlatan on your side, especially in FIFA, is that no defender can knock him off the ball.
You would have to be playing against one of the top FIFA players in the world to have Zlatan not dominate everyone else on the pitch.
8- Jerome Boateng 90
Even though Boateng couldn’t help Bayern Munich win Champions League last season and even though he got humiliated by Lionel Messi a couple of seasons ago at Camp Nou, he is still ranked as the highest-rated defender in the world.
I have to say that Boateng’s rating of 90 has surprised me the most. Boateng is certainly a very sturdy defender but he lacks speed and tackling ability.
He is strong and can read situations pretty well for a defender and maybe that is the reason why he has been ranked so high in FIFA 17.
9- Robert Lewandowski 90
Scored over 40 goals last season for Bayern Munich and would have been ranked higher if he had helped his club side win anything apart from domestic titles.
Nevertheless, Robert is one of the top strikers in the world who fully deserves his rating of 90.
10- David De Gea 90
After his failed move to Real Madrid, David De Gea showed great character by staying at and performing for Manchester United.
David De Gea is surprisingly fast for a man of his size and is a tremendous shot stopper.
He is young but keeps his composure really well in the most critical moments during a football match.
Because of his agile feet and strong hands, De Gea fully deserves the number 10 spot on FIFA’s ranking of highest rated players in the game.
You may not agree with the list and perhaps many don’t but the fact remains that it is Ronaldo who has managed to top everyone else ,this year,both on and off the field.
Though it has to be mentioned that EA Sports FIFA rankings don’t really reflect real life ratings and the rankings are based on an unknown list of factors which EA Sports has never been generous enough to divulge upon.
A small victory for all the Ronaldo fans out there (and he has plenty of them since he is the highest followed personality in the world in terms of Twitter followers and Facebook fans).
Now even though Marcus Reus hasn’t made the top 10 list of highest rated players in FIFA 17, EA Sports still picked him or rather had to pick him, (before the list was list was revealed of course) as the cover star of FIFA 17.
For those interested, Marco Reus has an overall rating of 88 which lands him the 25th spot on the list of highest rated players in FIFA 17.

While I’m less of a resolution person, I like the concept of #oneword. You choose one word for the year, and try to live by it. It makes me mindful of changes that I want to make year-round, and with so many other friends participating (both near and far), we can encourage each other to live the word that we’ve chosen.
Last year’s word was BALANCE. With so much upheaval about to happen (completing grad school, and with the prospect of a national job search ahead), it seemed like a good concept to pursue. I succeeded in many ways, and could stand to work on others. Some points of pride for my year of balance:
- Learning more about, and starting to conquer, a lifetime of anxiety
- Making running part of my regular routine. That said, I think I was unbalanced with it at times, and will use this year’s word to help right that ship
- Spending more time reading.
- Being vocal about finding a job that allowed me to keep that balance
- Making more time, and saving more money, to travel and see friends
- Finding opportunities both inside work and out to express my non- student affairs interests
And now, for 2012. Being the nerd that I am, it should come as no surprise that I’ve chosen the word LEARN. However, I want to present an additional challenge for myself. I’ve never had trouble learning about things I already know about. Watch a Disney movie (hell, any movie) with me one time- you’ll see quickly what I mean by that. But I want to challenge myself to learn about things I’m less educated about. Some goals for 2012 to underscore my one word:
- The week before winter vacation, I purchased a copy of the Bible. Religion has been something that I’ve never formed an opinion on, because I never really had the information to do so. I want to spend at least a portion of my year learning about the Bible, and deciding for myself how I would best like to express my faith.
- A professional goal of mine is to start to pursue opportunities that could allow me to work in wellness education and promotion. That will include joining the American College Health Administrators professional association, working with student wellness groups on campus, collaborating with other student affairs pros to put together an ed session on mental health concerns for SA pros, and taking classes to become certified in nutrition. It seems like a tremendous opportunity to learn more about something I’m interested in now, and turn it into something I would be qualified to pass along to others.
- I want to become more involved with professional organizations in student affairs, and will actively seek out opportunities to place myself in the position to learn from more experienced pros.

Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt said Wednesday that it would be a mistake for Congress to approve Hollywood-backed legislation meant to combat online piracy because it would be ineffective and could fundamentally alter the way the Internet works.
Companion bills before the House and Senate would allow copyright holders to go to court to compel credit card companies and online advertising companies, including Google, to cut off websites dedicated to distributing pirated material. Prosecutors would be able to get court orders forcing search engines to drop the sites.
The House's Stop Online Piracy Act the Senate's Protect IP Act are backed by the Motion Picture Association of America, the Recording Industry Association of America and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which estimates the cost of online piracy at $135 million a year. Internet giants Google, Yahoo, Facebook have come out against the legislation.
In response to a question after speaking Wednesday at the University of Minnesota, Schmidt said it would be a mistake to adopt the bills' approach to fighting piracy. "The problem with the two bills is that they go after all the wrong problems," said Schmidt.
Schmidt said some provisions in the bills were technologically difficult, including giving copyright holders the right to delete links from the Internet and criminalizing the indexing of the content by search engines.
"There are a whole bunch of issues involved with breaking the Internet and the way it works," he said.
Another big problem, he said, was that the bills won't work. He said the criminal activity would immediately move to different websites and continue.
"The correct solution, which we've repeatedly said, is to follow the money," Schmidt said. "Making it more explicitly illegal to make money from that type of content is what we recommend."
Finally, Schmidt said they violated free speech rights protected in the First Amendment. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the author of the Senate bill, disputed that in a statement released by his office Wednesday afternoon.
"There is no First Amendment right to steal," he said. "This (bill) will protect Americans' intellectual property rights, which in turn boosts our economy and promotes American jobs."
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., has introduced a separate bill that would update current federal copyright law to make clear that streaming copyrighted material for commercial purposes can be prosecuted as a felony. A spokesman, Linden Zakula, said Klobuchar "hopes that Leahy and the House authors work to address the concerns about the larger bill."
Schmidt spoke at the university's Humphrey School of Public Affairs. The university is one of the biggest users of the Google's free applications in higher education in the United States, with more than 90,000 Google email accounts. | <urn:uuid:ab2a6ec9-373b-4eee-9437-acc14cf99b06> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna45501385 | 2021-10-21T14:40:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585424.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20211021133500-20211021163500-00076.warc.gz | en | 0.958666 | 557 | [

These are highly unusual, and uncertain times. The evolution of the COVID-19 story over the past 2 months has been so rapid that knowing what the next month, quarter, or even year will bring is impossible.
However, one thing is crystal clear: The digital experience you provide is more important than it’s ever been – both now and once this is all over.
In these times of social distancing and quarantining, consumers are naturally turning to digital to meet their needs. People are living their lives online right now and this period is likely to be the wake-up call for anyone who was not fully invested in their digital strategy.
What Do You Say?
There’s no denying that these are tough times. When times are tough, it’s really common for brands to struggle with what to say. Do you stick with your old messaging and pretend it’s still business as usual? (Hint: no). Do you commit your website to only COVID-19 related posts from now on? (Hint: probably not).
While we can’t answer these questions for you, we can give you a guide to putting together a strategy that strikes the right tone for your brand and audience.

It doesn’t need to be (and in certain situations probably can’t be) professionally produced, but videos from your personalities have some long legs. Youtube videos (and OneCMS Video) embed right into your website and can be a centerpiece of your homepage or individual posts.
- Have a DJ read bedtime stories on video.
- Tell us how you keep the kids occupied.
- Radio DJ’s Cribs (video tour of their house).
Try some functionality that engages your audience
Your audience is looking for ways to be social, to connect with others, and even to be distracted from everything that’s going on. Get shaking on some things that promote audience engagement! Daily polls, image gallery/video voting, and more! Things that may not have worked with your audience previously may be just the ticket right now.
There’s so many built-in engagement tools in OneCMS you’ll never be at a loss for something to drive engagement. The results also create opportunities for content to write about!
- Guess the DJ’s favorite band (poll).
- Best song of 20XX (poll).
- Best video by (Video Gallery voting).
- Are you doing it more or less? (poll)
Get your audience engaged with User-Generated Content
Whether it’s a call for photos or videos for a contest or you want to do something purely for entertainment and engagement, your audience has more time on their hands and are spending more time online are more likely to engage with you. There’s a good chance you’ll get a surprising amount of responses!
- Best Decorated Face-mask.
- Salute a family hero.
- Best living room fort.
- Family dress up like Tiger King!
Make Changes for the Future
Remember, this isn’t just “now”. You’re also setting the stage for your post-COVID-19 strategy. I think we can all agree that this crisis will change things, some of them forever. That definitely applies to your brand. The things you do now could lead to insights, ideas, and strategies that last long after this is all over.
No matter what direction you choose, now is the time to explore, look for new opportunities, and set the stage for better, more engaged audience interactions now and in the future. While these efforts may not lead to a massive increase in revenue right away, they’ll help you stand out, stay in touch and be a source of inspiration, entertainment, and information for your audience.

I think you need to look at more than just the English translations to get the way わりに is used.
くせに can be used as a somewhat ruder replacement of のに, so it makes sense to say that here. (の there is a nominalizer with no particular meaning of its own whereas くせ has meaning).
In contrast, わりに used to be written as 割に which helps make clearer what it does.
Specifically, it it says "As much/little as X, [unwritten: one might infer Y], but surprisingly Z.
I think the problem for the example sentence is 男 is not a proportional fact X of the relevant sort.
All of the examples being offered online are like:
年の割には若く見える. here also here
= he looks young if you take in account his age [which should make him look older]
= as much as she says she has no money, she seems to travel a lot.
the basic pattern is we need some sort of proportional claim and then a second fact to the contrary.
You don't have that in the sentence above, so it can't be わりに
I think when they're saying "unexpected feeling" they mean that the expression includes some opprobrium. As in we're annoyed at this outcome. (cf.
= even though she doesn't have any money she often travels. (perhaps because she collects airline miles) | <urn:uuid:206f8623-8fda-478c-a596-419074edb6f9> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/29333/usage-of-%E3%81%8F%E3%81%9B%E3%81%AB-and-%E3%82%8F%E3%82%8A%E3%81%AB-in-the-following-sentence | 2021-10-26T00:18:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587770.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20211025220214-20211026010214-00316.warc.gz | en | 0.974587 | 319 | [

A coalition has petitioned the Lagos State House of Assembly on the high cost of COVID-19 tests in private laboratories in Lagos State.
The call is contained in a statement issued by the Coalition Against High Cost of COVID-19 Test in Lagos (COHCTL), signed by its Co-Convener, Dotun Atilade on Friday in Ibadan.
The News Agency of Nigeria(NAN) reports that COHCTL is a network of NGOs and civil society organisations with special interest in the survival and wellbeing of the citizens during COVID-19 and Post COVID-19 era.
”The exorbitant cost has led to the low percentage of tested population so far”.
The group called for a timely and swift intervention by the Lagos State House of Assembly to reduce the cost of COVID-19 test in Lagos State.
”A collaborative independent survey was conducted to appraise the response of government, citizens and the health sector after a year.”The survey revealed that the high cost of COVID-19 test in private laboratories, inadequate and inaccessible free public testing centres with their inherent inefficiency, is a major militating factor.

No summer barbecue is complete without fresh watermelon. As the nation moves towards the summer grilling season, you may want to consider how watermelon’s fruit chemistry can affect your overall health. Researchers in the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) recently identified over 1,500 small molecules of diverse chemical characters in the fruit, known as phytochemicals. They concluded that eating watermelon is an excellent way to increase your intake of antioxidants, non-protein amino acids and lycopene. This means that every time you eat watermelon, you’ll be improving the health of your cells, organs and nervous system.
The research specifically finds that the antioxidants in watermelon can help your body fight free radicals and slow down cell damage. The fruit’s non-protein amino acids will also help to repair your body tissue, break down food from other meals, and even regulate your blood pressure.
“Watermelon could be part of the refreshing and healthy fruit options on your summer picnic table,” said USDA-ARS scientist Larry Parnell. “The fruit has gone through many years of evolution, domestication, and selection for desirable qualities—mainly those associated with flesh color, texture and nutrient and sugar content. But our research continues to find that the fruit contains a wide range of nutrients that improve your overall health.”
Most Americans purchase the sweet dessert watermelon species, Citrullus lanatus, at their local grocery store or farmer’s market. This species is among the most important vegetable crops grown and consumed throughout the world, with over 100 million tons in annual global production. The fruit also has more lycopene than a raw tomato, which is linked to healthy eyes, overall heart health and protection against certain cancers. Other nutrients, like carotenoids, flavonoids, carbohydrates and alkaloids, are also found in the flesh, seed, and rind.
“I worked with Dr. Parnell and the team to develop a pioneering concept of using big data and computational biology to identify and catalog all of the phytochemicals that exist in edible fruit,” said ARS researcher Amnon Levi. “The research to identify the metabolic pathways and genome sequence of genes involved in the production of beneficial phytochemicals could be highly useful for plant scientists and breeders aiming to improve nutrient content in fruits and vegetables.”
The watermelon’s phytochemicals are human-cell-protecting compounds found in fruit, vegetables, grains and beans. All of these nutrients can contribute to your overall health in numerous ways.
Watermelon was introduced to Europe via Moorish Spain in the 10th century. Since then, watermelon has been cultivated successfully in warmer Mediterranean regions before being brought to the Americas by European colonists during the 16th century. Today, watermelon is grown in 44 U.S. states, while major production is centered in California, Florida, Georgia and Texas.
Fruits and vegetables are a part of a healthy, balanced diet, with the recommendation being 1.5 to 2 cups of fruit and 2 to 3 cups of vegetables per day.
The Agricultural Research Service is the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s chief scientific in-house research agency. Daily, ARS focuses on solutions to agricultural problems affecting America. Each dollar invested in agricultural research results in $17 of economic impact. | <urn:uuid:5433cb05-9251-40ce-a4c7-e5d5790885ab> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://californiaagnet.com/2021/06/01/numerous-health-benefits-found-in-summer-favorite-watermelon/ | 2021-10-28T21:05:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588526.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20211028193601-20211028223601-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.935135 | 700 | [

Here's a quick quiz that will separate the creative wheat from the chaff. If you think your eyes are finely attuned to noticing subtle design details, get ready to put your peepers to the test with this difficult colour quiz.
Although it only runs at a mere 10 questions long, the Colour is in the Eye of the Beholder quiz is a tricky test to ace. In fact, only 1 per cent of players were able to get a perfect score. Even if you've read our guide to colour theory, you're still going to have trouble with it.
If you're thinking how well you do is dependent on how good your screen is, well... you'd be right. Luckily we have a guide to the best monitor calibrators (and even the best monitors), to help you out. But take the quiz first.
Created by Lenstore UK, the quiz asks players to identify colours by their shade; order colours in terms of lightness; and spot hidden messages and symbols in an array of colourful dots.
Think you've got what it takes to get 100 per cent? Take the quiz below or by clicking here.
How did you do? Don't beat yourself up if you didn't get every single question right. The average score is six out of ten, and only 0.2 per cent of people got all ten correct.
The information tab on the quiz adds that according to data collected by VIGA, women are more likely to perceive colour better than men. The survey of 2,000 adults in January 2019 also found that colour perception peaks for both sexes between the ages of 30 and 35. Meanwhile, those over 76 only got 30 to 40 per cent of questions correct.
"Colour perception depends on several factors, including colour vocabulary, home country, and languages spoken," says Lenstore.
"The way we talk about colour plays an important role in how we perceive it. English didn’t have a word for 'orange' until two centuries after the fruit of the same name arrived in Europe. Before then, the colour was called 'yellow-red.'" | <urn:uuid:f7f013ff-3aae-4cfb-8fb9-3038571e6829> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.creativebloq.com/news/colour-quiz | 2023-11-29T15:07:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100112.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20231129141108-20231129171108-00656.warc.gz | en | 0.963906 | 429 | [

ANZ has recently directed staff to use excess annual leave balances.
This comes at a time when people are unable to leave their homes. By drawing down on excess leave rather than working, staff are shouldering the burden of propping up the Bank’s financial position. While it is allowed under the ANZ enterprise agreement for some employees, in the current climate, it hardly seems fair.
Since ANZ’s announcement, the union has been inundated with questions and concerns. We’re holding an online information session to answer all your questions, and to discuss a way forward:
Thursday 16 April 2020
7pm Eastern Standard Time
RSVP essential for zoom link: www.actionnetwork.org/events/anz-annual-leave
This is a members only event.
RSVP at www.actionnetwork.org/events/anz-annual-leave and the link will be emailed to you before the session.
If you are not a member, join now to understand what can be achieved by working together towards a fairer annual leave process. Join FSU at www.fsunion.org.au/join.
If you have a question that you know you’d like to ask but would prefer not to ask in the session, you can add it to your RSVP form and we’ll be sure to cover it.
Strength in numbers is essential to ensuring a fair process for all ANZ workers during the current climate; share this notice with your team mates, invite them to join the FSU and invite them to the meeting.

Welcome to my world of gadgets and technology!❤️
I’m Michael, and I’m absolutely passionate about tech and all things related. From smartphones to smart home devices, laptops to gaming consoles, and many more.
My journey into the world of gadgets started at a young age when I disassembled my first remote control car (which I bought with my pocket money) just to see how it worked and how they build it. Since then, I’ve been on an incredible adventure of exploration and discovery new new things in technology.
With a degree in Electrical Engineering and several years of experience working in the tech industry, I’ve honed my skills and knowledge in understanding, reviewing, and using the latest gadgets.

What happens if You are liked by mosquitoes or other insects? And the reality, there are people who tend to be more frequently bitten by mosquitoes than others. Why does mosquitoes bite you?
Why does mosquitoes bite you?
- Carbon dioxide
According to Professor Leslie Vosshall of Rockefeller University in New York, your body could give you a signal without your knowledge that you are more attractive to mosquitoes bites than others. Human can draw attention to sensory cues through some mosquitoes including body odor emitted from lactic acid, heat, and carbon dioxide in our breath, and mosquitoes can sense the difference to determine which animal or human become a target for them to bite. Mosquitoes may be more interested in a unique body odor.
Jonathan Day, a Professor of medical entomology at the University of Florida in Vero Beach, said that 20 percent of the people get more mosquito bites than the general population, and the people who produce more carbon dioxide, such as pregnant women are more attractive to mosquitoes.
- Hot temperatures and sweat.
The scent of perspiration from your body into one of the allure to mosquitoes. They could smell the lactic acid, ammonia and other residue compounds contained in Your sweat.
- The color of your clothing
Other than the smell, the color of your clothing also plays a role in attracting mosquitoes to bite you. If you often use black, red, or light blue outfits, you are more attractive to mosquitoes because they are better able to see your shadow and make you as their targets.
- Blood type.
People with type O blood group had a bigger chance of being bitten by mosquitoes. This blood group person two times more susceptible mosquitoes than people with blood type A. As for blood group B people reside in them.
- Cholesterol and steroids.
People who have high levels of cholesterol and steroids in their skins tend to be more frequently bitten by mosquitoes. Mosquitoes generally will follow someone who produces a lot of cholesterol in the skin.

BLOG - Stone look v’s wood look v’s patterned
Floor tiles are designed for durability and ease of maintenance. They provide a hard surface that will endure the harsh household environment, while maintaining on going beauty and lasting colour that will enhance your environment.
It is vital to spend some time researching and selecting colours and patterns, prior to making any investment. Floors are a very large area of colour in your home and a very expensive thing to replace if you select quickly and regret later.
When selecting natural stone, the finished look will be determined by the inherent natural characteristics of the product. Natural variation will occur between tiles, as each piece is the only one of its kind in the world, and this is part of the appeal and natural attraction of natural stone. If you do not want this variety in your finished tiling project, then do not use stone. Some stone has greater variety within the product than others, and this needs to be considered during the selection process. It is impossible to select individual pieces of stone, and colours on a sample are only indicative of a broad colour spectrum of the eventual product to be supplied.
As technology advances, so has the technology in tile manufacture, as well as colour and glaze technology. Along with digital print technology we have seen amazing advances in colour and material replication on tile. For the remainder of this we will focus on the manufactured tile, be it glazed or unglazed, as this is where the technology has evolved and we can most control the final design and look.
The most notable of discernible change is in the myriad of stone and wood look tile that resembles the natural product so closely that it is not until very close inspection that the differences can be found. Digital print has gone a long way to enhancing this. Manufacturers can now take a photo of natural rock strata, for example, and separate the photo into a multitude of individual pictures, which can then be printed onto tile in a rolling pattern. This can mean one range of tile can have an almost infinite amount of different patterns, enhancing the "natural effect" sought in the manufacture process.
In general, and apart from colour, your tile look will incorporate;
-plain or slight speckle or veining,
-heavier traditional patterns, being single replications or mixed random shapes and colours.
Stone look can vary from:
- Unobtrusive minimal veining (examples include various Carrara marble copies) through to travertine look pattern,
- concrete look (being both "formwork concrete" look as well as polished or exposed aggregate look)
- Sand stone and slate look tiles with mixes of mild and heavy patterns as well as colour variation between tiles.
Timber look tiles can include:
- "New cut" timber
- Used timber look, even going so far as timber that looks like used crate or pallet material with spray paint and mould look finishes.
- Rustic, worn timber
- High gloss polished tiles that often look like petrified wood
Timber look tiles were initially created to use in wet areas where natural timber cannot be used, but are now such accurate replications that with their enhanced durability, they are now fantastic low maintenance main floor tile options.
Minimal, indistinct or non-patterned tiles always remain a stalwart. They are often used in neutral colours to provide a soft base colour for furnishings, and are often considered non-detrimental to property resale as they do not predispose a style on the property.
Beware, though, that pattern on a tile can hide dirt, and if the household has children or pets or is in an area where heavy dirt may infiltrate the building, then it may be worth considering patterned tiles, not to reduce the cleaning requirement but to hide or delay the need for constant cleaning.
Patterned tiles are becoming more prolific in the industry as fashions change, and this increases the quality of product, as well as reducing the cost of product, as volume of sales is a direct downward driver of price. Some tiles have the same pattern repeated on each tile, often the pattern flows over tiles which somewhat hides grout joints as your eye becomes involved in the pattern. Other varieties have random mixes of patterns, in both bright and muted colours, providing a warmth and texture to your surface and a finished look that does not require furniture or rugs to be the focal point.
Each product has its unique characteristics and we have been very general in our approach, it is therefore recommended that you speak to the experts on tile flooring at Complete Tiles & Stone to further confirm the appropriate product and finished look for you....and most of all, enjoy the whole experience!

Best Way to Store Freshly made Juice
by John Kohler
One of the questions that I often hear, is "How long can I store the juice that I make with my juicer?" In this day and age, many people simply do not have the time to make fresh juice everyday, so people want to make a huge batch of juice at one time, and save it for use at a later time.
The answer is yes, you can store juices to drink later. Although there are several things you should know:
Please note: When a juice changes color or tastes different, those are clear signs of oxidation and/or the juice going bad. When in doubt, throw it out.
1. Some of the beneficial nutrients of fresh juices may dissipate minutes after its made
There are many beneficial nutrients contained in freshly made juice. The nutrients in the juice include: plant-purified water, vitamins, enzymes, minerals, proteins, fiber, carbohydrates, phyto-nutrients (carotene, lycopene, etc), chlorophyll, lipids, and probably other undiscovered substances.
The minute you juice fresh produce, the cell walls of the produce break open, providing you with these nutrients. Many of these nutrients are very sensitive to air, heat, light and time and will cause their degeneration. Here is just one example.. In the 1940's Jay Kordich, "The Juiceman" worked with Dr. Garnet Cheney (Who headed the Cancer Division at Stanford Medical School). They were juicing fresh cabbage juice and giving the fresh juice to 65 volunteers. Within 3 weeks all but two of the patients were healed, and the two holdouts only had minimal symptoms.. Jay continues to say, "Vitamin U evaporates in a matter of minutes and needs to be consumed immediately.". Another example comes from "The Gerson Therapy" which is a therapy that Dr. Max Gerson used to treat cancer patients. The Gerson therapy specifies that juices are consumed with within 20 minutes of being made. So it should be clear, to get maximum benefits from the freshly made juice, don't save the juice.. So the best thing to do is to drink the juice immediately after you make it... Instead of thinking, ok, I will make a large batch once or twice a week, think, I can wake up 30 minutes earlier to make a fresh batch of juice for breakfast and the day..
2. How long can fresh juices be stored?
The length of time that you can store a juice depends on several factors:
My personal preference is to never store juices. 95% of the time, I will drink the juice right after it is made.. If I do have to store juices, I will not store juice longer than 8 hours if made with a centrifugal style juicer. I will not store juice longer than 24 hours if using a low rpm style juicer (such as a twin gear or single auger style machine... These would be juicers #1- #8 in the list below). The manufacturer of the Green Power and Green Star Juicer claim their juices can be stored for up to 72 hours. I like to consume my juices well before this time.
3. The Best (and worse) juicers to use if you want to store your juice
There are many styles of juicers available. Each style juicer extracts juice from produce using a different method. Please read the article, "The Best Juicer" to read about how these different styles work. For storing juice, you want a juicer that minimally oxidizes the juice as its being produced. So the design of the juicer, and the RPM have the largest effect on the storage of the juices being made. In general, you would want a juicer that runs at a low RPM (Revolutions Per Minute - or speed).. I would recommend the juicers in the following order: Twin Gear Juicers, Single Auger Juicers, Champion Juicers, Centrifugal Ejection Juicers, and finally Centrifugal Juicers. Here are the juicers I would recommend to use if you wanted to store your juice (1 is best... 14 is worst). The best juicer in my opinion to use if you want to store your juice is the Green Star Juicer.
4. The best storage containers to store your juice
I would recommend using glass containers to store your juice. I generally use wide mouth mason jars, either 16 or 32 ounces. You can also use 8 ounce mason jars, amber jars or bottles. I also like to recycle glass bottles, and will reuse glass mineral water bottles to store juice. I prefer to use "wide mouth" jars vs. bottles, since juices do tend to stain, and cleaning a bottle with a narrow opening can be difficult. I would also recommend using a stainless steel lined thermos or stainless steel water bottle. Some people recommend using plastic to store your juice, and while plastic will work, I do not recommend using plastic. Studies have shown that plastic leaches into the food that is being stored. Some people say hard plastic (polycarbonate) NALGENE bottles are "safe", but new research is showing that even HDPE plastics leach toxins from the plastic into the food or drink being stored. One of the things to remember when selecting a container to store your juice is to choose a container that is small enough for a "single serving". A single serving is one that you will open, and drink all at once, and not seal it and save it for later. You might need to store your juice in multiple containers and bring 3 containers with you to work for each "juice break". The best container to store your juice is a glass container that holds as much as you can drink in a single serving.
5. The best way to store juice.
The best way to store juice is in an air-free environment. Air is one of the primary factors that will cause degradation of the juice. After you juice and have your juice is in its catch container, you will need to pour it into your storage container. You can pre freeze (or chill) the storage container to help keep the juice cold. When you fill your storage container, be sure to fill it to the brim, and maybe even overfill it a little before putting on the lid on the container. (You can add purified water if you do not have enough juice to completly fill the container) This is to minimize the air that is contained inside the container along with the juice. It is this air that causes some degradation of the juice. Even better yet, you can remove the air from the juice container. You will need a vacuum sealing device. These come in hand operated and electric units. I use a food saver appliance with the mason jar sealer. (see picture above). The best way to store you juice is in a vacuum environment that removes the air from the container the juice is stored. Remember to keep your juice COLD.
7. Other hints and tips and to store your juice longer.
7. Freezing Juice for longer storage
If you must store your juice for long-term storage, one way it can be done is how people have been preserving fresh-made apple cider for many years.. they freeze it.. Of course, this should only be used as a last option and is not reccomended.
Only store juices when absolutely necessary, since degradation occurs immediately after juice is produced. If you do need to store your juice, remember these points:
Hopefully after reading this article, you
will be likely to drink your juice right after it is made.. Of course, if you need
to store the juice, you have the techniques to minimize the degradation.

Particular Training: Federal Regulation Vs State Legislation
Beginning in 2012, passage of the Lawyer Admission Test might be required for qualification to follow. The Japanese Ministry of Justice opened the University of Tokyo Faculty of Law in 1877 . To matriculate to the University of Tokyo, college students needed to end ten to fifteen years of compulsory training; acceptance was therefore available to solely a small elite.
Law scholar instructors are assigned to regular DC public highschool school rooms or other group placements based mostly primarily on their academic schedules for the semester. The experience of guiding college students by way of the mock trial process is remarkable and unforgettable. The analytical and critical pondering skills that prime college college students and neighborhood members develop, thanks to the regulation student instructors, are invaluable for his or her future endeavors. Labor law is the legislation governing staff’ collective action, union organizing, and collective bargaining. This course will concentrate on labor legislation within the personal sector, which is governed mainly by the federal National Labor Relations Act, as amended.
The change in tutorial nomenclature re-designating the widespread law degree as a J.D. In 2008, the University of Melbourne launched the Melbourne Model, whereby Law is simply available as a graduate degree, with college students having to have completed a three-year bachelor’s diploma earlier than being eligible. Students in combined degree applications would spend the first three years finishing their first bachelor’s degree along with some preliminary legislation subjects, and then spend the last 2–3 years completing the legislation diploma .

Alternatively, one can end any bachelor’s degree, and providing their tutorial results are excessive, apply for graduate-entry into a three-12 months LLB program. Continuing legal teaching programs are informal seminars or quick courses which give legal practitioners with a chance to update their knowledge and expertise throughout their authorized profession. In some jurisdictions, it’s necessary to undertake a specific amount of constant authorized schooling each year. Applied or specialised regulation accreditation, which are much less formal than degree packages however which give specialised certification in particular areas.
What You Have To Know About The Tax Legislation And Training
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday dominated in opposition to the NCAA in a protracted-working dispute over a cap on training-associated presents and benefits that faculties could present pupil-athletes. The Journal of Legal Education (ISSN ) is a quarterly publication of the Association of American Law Schools.
In England, as on the Continent and all through most of the rest of the world , college-based mostly authorized training became an undergraduate program and remained so till fairly lately. Since the late 20th and early twenty first century, a number of nations have adopted the so-referred to as U.S. model of authorized education, providing college-based instruction in legislation as a profession somewhat than solely as an educational self-discipline. WILL is urging the adoption of curriculum transparency legislation to arm mother and father and taxpayers with the flexibility to access and evaluation controversial curriculum materials in public faculties. WILL just lately issued similar open information requests to 9 giant Wisconsin college districts and skilled, first-hand, the fee, time, and problem of accessing curriculum material. “By permitting colleges and universities to offer enhanced training-related advantages, [the decrease court docket’s decision] could encourage scholastic achievement and permit student-athletes a measure of compensation more consistent with the value they carry to their schools,” Gorsuch wrote. The unanimous decision, upholding decrease court rulings, says the cap on a relatively slender record of training-associated advantages — similar to scholarships for graduate college, computer systems, musical instruments, and tutoring bills — violates federal anti-belief regulation and must be lifted. | <urn:uuid:f88ccc5d-7392-476b-a43f-42453a6bf3eb> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.southfwb.com/special-training-3.html | 2023-12-08T02:39:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100710.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20231208013411-20231208043411-00856.warc.gz | en | 0.949256 | 775 | [

Appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, American Idol winner and Voice coach, Kelly Clarkson sat down for a bit of chit-chat before Jimmy Fallon presented this nearly-impossible challenge to her.
— Entertainment Tonight (@etnow) March 3, 2015
These two pop culture personalities have known each other for more than a decade and their comedic wit is almost unrivaled as they get into some of the most-hysterical banter just before talking about Clarkson’s newest project, at the time, as a coach on The Voice.
— Headline Planet (@headlineplanet) November 1, 2017
Clarkson revealed what it’s like to battle for a contestant with Blake Shelton on the hit singing competition, and says that her fellow coaches all brag about winning on the show – but her response silenced them all.
“And they’re always quick to point out that they’ve all won,” Clarkson says laughing, and getting in a jab about her taking home the first American Idol win, adding, “And I’m like ‘So have I!'”
She ended up proving herself, and winning three out of her first four seasons as a coach.
Next, Fallon brought up her mastery of music, nudging her by saying “I’m sure you’ve sung all your songs forward and backward.”
— Headline Planet (@headlineplanet) February 27, 2018
He then proceeded to convince Clarkson to sing one of her number one hits completely backward in front of the audience – and she didn’t back down from the challenge!
Check out the full video below to see the hysterical lyric mix up and Kelly Clarkson bursting into laughter during her performance of “Since U Been Gone (Backward).” | <urn:uuid:066381e1-fba1-43fb-bc31-83b517b27894> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://countrymusicnation.com/kelly-clarkson-sings-since-u-been-gone-backwards-on-tonight-show-in-2017 | 2023-12-10T13:54:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679102469.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20231210123756-20231210153756-00656.warc.gz | en | 0.952005 | 377 | [

Read about my experience discovering Portuguese wines from Vinho Verde to Alvarinho at the Vinícola Portugal wine festival in Vancouver and my top wine picks from the event.
Last weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the Vinícola Portugal wine festival, a local Vancouver event celebrating Portuguese wines, held at Heritage Hall on Main Street. With over 70 wines to taste, a small shop to purchase your favourite wines, and an Arc Iberico Imports stand offering delicious charcuterie boards with Iberico ham, it was a truly enjoyable experience. This event was organized by Justin Isidro, known as the Off The List Somm, and the General Manager of Kissa Tanto, an Italian-Japanese fusion restaurant located in Chinatown. Justin's inspiration for this event stemmed from his Portuguese roots, and he aimed to create a unique wine experience that allowed attendees to explore the wine world beyond the conventional wine varietals and regions. I can say he definitely succeeded in delivering his objective and I found this event to offer a truly distinctive experience by celebrating Portuguese wines.
Discovering Portuguese Wines
Vinícola Portugal introduced me to many varietals I had never even heard of before, offering a fresh perspective on the world of wine. I had the opportunity to taste numerous Vinho Verdes (wines from the Northern Portuguese region, predominantly young and white wines), Alvarinhos (same wine varietal as Albariño, but Portuguese), wines from the infamous Duoro Valley, as well as indigenous Portuguese varietals and natural wines. The event was so authentically Portuguese that even some of the wine pourers struggled with pronouncing the varietals!
Was Vinícola Portugal Worth It?
All in all, this festival provided fantastic value, considering the variety of wines available to taste, and provided ample time to taste every wine with its 4-hour duration. As a travel lover and part-time nomad, I enjoyed experiencing the cultural element discovered through exploring these wines. It brought me back to my trip to Portugal discovering their wines, particularly Port. In the end, I took home two exquisite wines in a beautiful box, along with a perfect pairing of Iberico ham.
Top Wine Picks At Vinícola Portugal
You’re probably wondering what’s my favourite wines from the event. Here's a list of my recommended wines to try.
Casal Ventozela Vinho Verde Loureiro
Quinto da Murta Bucelas Arinto 2017
Quinta Das Cerejeiras Grande Reserva – Chardonnay

Watching the news, violence seems on the rise all around us. Most Americans think crime is going up, have a pessimistic outlook of the future, and feel increasingly unsafe. As a result, people accept more and more surveillance to protect themselves from violent and criminal behavior. Surveillance cameras are installed with the assumption that we need to fear each other and be vigilant of the potential predator next door. Mobile phones are increasingly used to capture violent events – the crazy brawl unfolding right in front of our eyes that will later go viral on YouTube or Facebook and make people think “oh my, it’s getting worse every day.” And in a vicious cycle, the more such footage we have, the more we see violence on the news: a large brawl in London, a brutal assault in Glasgow, a shooting in New Jersey, a mass murder in Dayton, violent unrests in Hong Kong or Paris. Again, such news reassure us that humanity is becoming crueler, more violent, more dangerous. Yet, a systematic look at the same video data suggests quite the opposite. On many levels, we can, in fact, be optimistic. How so?
Today, videos from closed-circuit television, body cameras, police dash cameras, or mobile phones are increasingly used in the social sciences. For lack of other data, researchers previously relied on people’s often vague, partial, and biased recollections to understand how violence happened. Now, video footage shows researchers second-to-second how an event unfolded, who did what, was standing where, communicating with whom, and displaying which emotions, before violence broke out or a criminal event occurred. And while we would assume such footage highlights the cruel, brutal, savage nature of humanity, looking at violence up-close actually shows the opposite. Examining footage of violent situations – from the very cameras set up because we believe that violence lurks around every corner – suggests violence is rare and commonly occurs due to confusion and helplessness, rather than anger and hate.
Armed robberies are an example in point. We would assume robbers to resort to violence if clerks fail to hand over what is in the register; after all, that is the fundamental proposition of the situation. Instead, video surveillance shows that robbers become afraid of the unexpected situation they are in and run away. It shows that criminals, like most people, rely on situational routines that offer familiarity and reassurance. In my research of surveillance footage of robberies clerks laughed at a robber’s assault rifle, and robbers, rather than shooting or hitting the victim, were startled and gave up. When a robber showed slight gloominess, a clerk cheered him up and the robber became even sadder, discussed his financial problems with the clerk and left. If clerks treat robbers like a child, surveillance footage shows how robbers may react according to this role and become hesitant and plead to be taken seriously. This means even in an armed robbery, where perpetrators are prepared and committed to the crime and clerks usually fear for their lifes, robbers as well as clerks tend to make sense out of the situation together, avoid violence and get into shared rhythms and routines.
We can see similar patterns when looking at video recordings of protest violence and violent uprisings. In some protest marches, certain groups attend with the clear goal to use violence; they mask up and come prepared with stones to throw at police. In other protests, police decided on a zero-tolerance strategy and plan to use force at the slightest misstep by activists. Despite such preparations for and willingness to use violent means, violence rarely actually breaks out, and people usually engage in peaceful interactions. If violence does erupt, we see that it does so not because people are violent or cruel, but because routine interactions break down, which leads to confusion, distress, uncertainty, anxiety, and fear, and ultimately violent altercations.
Similarly, research on street fights, or mass shootings shows that most people that have the will to fight and kill are actually bad at “doing” violence –as are the great majority of humans. Only very few people in very specific situations manage to be violent effectively, and it is those outliers that make it to the news. Contrary to common belief, rates of violence and crime have never been as low in most Western countries, as they are today.
Such findings have implications; fear of people’s cruel nature and violence lurking around every corner perpetuate everyday actions, drive voting behavior, and impact policymaking through worst-case-scenario thinking. Fearing fellow humans as inherently violent and cruel not only lacks empirical grounding, but research also shows it leads people to make bad decisions. Surveillance videos and recent research on violence challenge this notion that we need to fear each other. They counter the idea that we need elaborate protection from each other and constant state surveillance, which not only tends to cost public funds but also often curtails civil and human rights (e.g., privacy, free speech, free movement, right of asylum). The optimistic outlook offered by scientific analyses of videos might mean we can spend our time more wisely; instead of fearing each other and investing time and resources to protect ourselves from exaggerated dangers, we could enjoy society and our remaining civil rights and freedoms a little more.

By Edward Stratmann
With Unai Emery keen to reinforce Arsenal's squad in the January transfer window, the capture of Denis Suarez from Barcelona is a shrewd piece of business.
Versatile, technical and intelligent, the Spaniard will give Emery plenty of tactical flexibility as to how best deploy him, for he's capable of playing in a multitude of positions and roles across the midfield and attacking lines. Adaptable to being stationed wide and centrally, the Spaniard will be a great asset for the Arsenal head coach to have at his disposal.
Proficient at controlling games from central midfield or using his creativity and nous further upfield, his multifaceted skillset will certainly make him a valuable option for Emery, who knows all about his attributes from their time working together at Sevilla. A superb technician, the Spaniard thrives with the ball at his feet, which should see him complement Arsenal's already impressive band of offensively-geared players.
To start with his passing, the midfielder can connect, construct and create with his aptitude in this regard. Particularly excelling in his short passing, he's vital in terms of unbalancing opposition structures with his fast combination play in close quarters that effectively cause confusion amongst defenders and manipulate their organisation.
Suarez is also competent when hitting more expansive line-breaking deliveries to bypass lines of pressure, where he weights his passes beautifully to pierce his opponents while still being at a speed that his intended recipient can control.
Further little details he gets spot on comes from how he uses his eyes to disguise his passes, hits pinpoint diagonal passes that can force opposition blocks to move vertically and laterally and that he usually passes to his target's preferred foot to enhance the quality of their action. Importantly, however, if a progressive option isn't available he won't force the issue and hit an unnecessarily risky ball, as he'll play a safer pass for ball-retention purposes or look to change the angle of attack. Suarez's calculated distribution makes him a quality organiser, orchestrator and all-round contributor.
Meanwhile, his immaculate first touch, Velcro-like control and neat array of shimmies, shoulder drops and feints ensure he's a challenge to dispossess. Always performing scans of his surroundings enables him to adjust his body shape prior to inheriting the ball so he knows whether to sharply turn in one motion, protect the ball or play a one-touch pass.
A nifty dribbler, who's very comfortable on the ball and uses swift changes of pace and direction effectively in 1v1 duels, his capacity here means he can either go past his man or lure out one or more pressers to generate a free man or open passing lanes.
Possessing excellent balance, a low centre of gravity and lower body strength, he's deceptively strong and harder to push off the ball than would be expected, something that should hold him in good stead in the Premier League.
Complementing this with his smart movement, the former Manchester City man is always awake to any gaps in the opposition block that can be exploited. Timing his movements shrewdly, he works cohesively to destabilise backlines through rotations, opposite movements and by spacing himself well to supply his teammates with an option.
An example of this comes through how he'll rotate with a winger or full back if he's playing in midfield to cause a decisional crisis on who should mark who. Another one is when he notices a forward or winger dropping deep towards the ball, which typically drags their man with them. Suarez will then burst forward and take advantage of the opening to surge in behind and maintain depth.
Knowing when to shift towards the flank or position himself centrally, he drifts into certain zones to create positional and numerical superiority, to help bypass his opponents' structure more easily.
Moreover, picking his moments when to push up and provide third-man runs, receive between the lines or surge in behind, he's so intelligent at doing so while being unmarked, regularly catching his marker out ball watching to gain separation.
It's always a positive to observe how he'll receive possession in advantageous forward facing body positions too, so he can control the ball and keep his momentum going forward as opposed to receiving the ball with his back to goal.
His positional acuity also means he manages to create space for others by drawing and pinning his marker away from potentially usable space. The most prominent cases of this come when he pins his man by running forwards to give a centre back or midfielder extra room to run into, plus when he moves laterally towards the wing to open central passing lanes.
Being so well versed in the art of pressing from his time at Barcelona, he should have little trouble adapting to Emery's demands in this compartment. Awake to various pressing triggers like when an opponent receives with his back to goal, he will duly pounce when a cue arises.
Upon delving into his statistics over the last four seasons, these illustrate his two-way output, for he's averaged 4.39 dribbles per game, 1.22 key passes pg, 1.62 shot assists pg, 2.71 touches inside the box pg, 1.92 progressive runs pg, completed 4.7 passes into the final third at a 75.8 per cent rate, plus made 3.04 interceptions pg, 1.6 tackles pg and has a solid 65 per cent pressing efficiency.
One of his former Barcelona managers, Luis Enrique, gave a fascinating insight into Suarez back in 2017, whose attitude and talent led to comparison him to Barca legend Andres Iniesta. "He has to improve [to get to Iniesta's level], but Iniesta is Harry Potter, he makes magic, and it's difficult to find another," he said. "But Denis is on the right path and I hope he can be it. He takes great care of the ball but also works hard off it, which some players forget about. You have the ball for a minute or a minute and a half in the game, so if you don't do well without it, you have no chance at this level. Denis understands that and he's well loved by his teammates."
All things considered, the signing of Suarez gives Arsenal a player that has experience, should have little issue functioning within Emery's framework and gives the team essential depth.

Juuling craze hits AU as more students use e-cigarettes on campus
Though university is considered “smoke-free,” students report seeing Juuls in buildings
“Juuling” for American University students has become a typical part of college life, with vape pens appearing everywhere on campus from the Mary Graydon Center to restrooms and classrooms.
Juuls are small, discreet e-cigarette vapes that resemble flash drives and can have little to no scent or fruity and minty flavors. They can be charged in a USB port of most laptops and portable chargers. Juuls, unlike cigarettes, are easier to hide and according to AU students, more socially accepted by young people.
“I don't Juul, but there are always kids in my classes just charging their Juuls,” said Sarah Gruesser, a sophomore.
Noah Sanger, a junior, said he began smoking Juul his senior year of high school. Sanger now smokes around a pod a day, which has about the same nicotine content as a pack of cigarettes.
Sanger had never smoked a cigarette before Juuling. Instead, he began smoking cigarettes on occasion while studying abroad in addition to using his e-cigarette every day. Sanger said he spends about $20 every four days on his Juuling habit.
“No one’s like pushing Juul on me, but also no one’s trying to stop me from doing it,” Sanger said. “If I was on cigarettes, people would actually give me looks, but when I use Juul, it's like ‘oh he's just Juuling, whatever.’”
Some stigma still appears to be attached to Juuling, as several students approached about using Juuls declined to be interviewed on the record about their use of the product.
Juul sales are boosting the e-cigarette market, with the market expanding by 40 percent in 2017 to become worth about $1.16 billion.
While D.C.’s tobacco recently implemented a law that prohibits the purchase of tobacco products by people under the age of 21 in addition to a high tax on tobacco products, Juul users at AU say it’s not difficult to get. Juul pods can be purchased online or bought by older friends.
The company promotes itself as a way for adult smokers to reduce their cigarette or eliminate their cigarette consumption. However, some AU students who juul say they had not consumed nicotine before picking it up.
AU is considered a tobacco and smoke-free campus, according to its initiative website as well as signs around campus. However, according to students, there seems to be little to no consequences for juuling.
Hannah Camp is a senior at AU who studies public health and women gender and sexuality studies. Camp is also a Peer Health Educator at the Health Promotion and Advocacy Center.
“We’re technically supposed to be smoke and vape-free but people don’t care,” Camp said. “I saw someone the other day Juuling in the library.”
While AU links to some resources outside of AU on the tobacco-free section of the University’s website, nicotine is not mentioned in the alcohol and drugs section of the Health Promotion and Advocacy Center’s peer education website.
Yoo-Jin Kang, the coordinator for alcohol and other drugs at HPAC, is the main point of contact for addiction issues and can direct students in need to resources.
Camp said that nicotine came up in her training at HPAC but often they talk about harder drugs, which they consider to be a more pressing issue. She thinks based off of her public health classes and experience that prevention and education are always the best efforts.
“If you’re doing it, at least know what you’re doing,” Camp said. “People are always going to do unhealthy things but that knowledge is 80 percent of the battle.” | <urn:uuid:5bf30440-5e1b-4296-99c6-b8680ca95d5e> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.theeagleonline.com/article/2018/12/juuling-craze-hits-au | 2023-11-28T12:57:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679099514.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20231128115347-20231128145347-00856.warc.gz | en | 0.968864 | 831 | [

Keep Vipre up-to-date with the latest definition files by manually installing the required packages released by the software's developers
Every VIPRE product features automatic virus definitions update, allowing the application to get the latest signatures without user intervention. Provided the computer is connected to the Internet, this task is running in the background without interfering with the user's work.
However, it sometimes may happen that the Internet connection is not available. This kind of situation doesn't have to be an impediment when trying to keep the virus definitions up-to-date and thus, make sure the computer is protected against the latest viruses. As an alternative to the automatic updates, users of VIPRE products can manually install the most recent virus definitions.
The procedure is fairly simple: the user must get to a computer with Internet connection and download the latest virus signature file from the official page provided by VIPRE. As a reminder, one must make sure the file it downloads is compatible with the VIPRE product on their computer (be it Vipre Antivirus, Antivirus Business, Internet Security, etc.) and its version (there might be different releases for 9.3 and 9.0, for instance).
Once in the possession of the signature file, the next step is to copy it to the offline computer. The manual update of the threat definitions requires the user to navigate to the 'About' window in the 'Account' tab and then choose 'Support Tools'. Here, there is a section dedicated to loading definition files hosted on the local computer.
Once the files are loaded, one must wait for the VIPRE product to complete the installation. The signature version is then displayed, along with their release date and time.

Berkeley Optometry Drs. Christine Wildsoet, Maria Liu, Sarah Kochik, Elise Harb, and Nevin El-Nimri are tackling issues related to myopia. All are part of Berkeley’s Myopia Research Group. The publication, Women in Optometry has recently featured the group.
Myopia has become increasingly common the world over, at least in part due to changes in visual habits and increased time devoted to near activities such as smartphones and laptops. Together, the Berkeley group is exploring the best options for controlling the progression of myopia. | <urn:uuid:99d1c309-abf9-4fb4-aa64-1f9a95d9c5f1> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://optometry.berkeley.edu/women-in-optometry/ | 2023-12-01T00:23:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100258.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20231130225634-20231201015634-00656.warc.gz | en | 0.925497 | 117 | [

Abdominal and pelvic hemorrhage may be secondary to a number of causes and is often a medical emergency. Patient presentation ranges from obvious trauma with evidence of hemodynamic instability to vague symptoms. CT has become the imaging modality of choice for identifying abdominopelvic hemorrhage. Recognizing acute hemorrhage as well as identifying its location and severity are key to expediting management. In the Emergency Department, ultrasound often used in the initial evaluation of trauma patients, but is not sensitive for subtle bleeds or injuries. CT is the best first-line imaging tool to identify abdominal hemorrhage and, compared with angiography, has been shown to be superior in detecting intra-abdominal bleeding, especially when the bleeding rate is low. Depending on location and etiology, abdominopelvic hemorrhage may have a characteristic appearance, such as the "sentinel clot" sign associated with blunt trauma to the solid organs or the "triangle sign" of a mesenteric bleed. The following pictorial essay reviews CT technique, study interpretation, and interpretative pearls and pitfalls in the recognition of acute abdominopelvic hemorrhage.
Keywords: Abdominal hemorrhage; CT angiography; Hemoperitoneum; Pseudoaneurysm; Trauma; Traumatic hemorrhage.

Scotland’s treasure trove of ancient Egyptian objects uncovered
Experts at the National Museums Scotland (NMS) identified 25 collections with Egyptian artefacts, including nine previously unknown, and located around 14,000 objects during the course of their research.
The discoveries included what they say are the most northerly ancient Egyptian objects in the UK, which were found in Stromness Museum in Orkney, and previously unidentified figures in Linlithgow Museum.
In the Orkney museum, two faience shabtis, a type of figurine found in many Egyptian tombs, which had not previously been identified as genuine, were discovered.
The shabtis date from 1145-986 BC, and the style and inscriptions suggest they belonged to the same person, an overseer in the temple of Amun called Kena.
Dan Potter, NMS assistant curator of ancient Mediterranean who worked on the project, said: “Being able to read the inscription and share it with the museum maybe for the first time in a couple of hundred years, or even thousands of years, that is a real privilege being able to shed a proper light on these objects.”
The review also identified two faience shabtis at Linlithgow Museum which were previously thought to be forgeries but have now been confirmed as genuine. They belonged to a man named Nespautitawy (1186-945 BC).
Researchers also discovered interesting links between objects in collections around the country.
Many museums across the UK, including the McLean Museum in Greenock and Paisley Museum, subscribed to the Egypt Exploration Fund.
Their subscriptions funded professional excavations in Egypt and in return these museums received a share of the finds.
The review established that the McLean Museum and the McManus Museum in Dundee both hold cartonnage mummy cases from the same burial group at Herakleopolis Magna excavated by Edouard Naville for the Egypt Exploration Fund (now Society).
Similarly several pieces of a tomb excavated by the archaeologist WM Flinders Petrie in 1897-98 are now to be found across Scotland, in the collections of National Museums Scotland, Glasgow Museums and The McManus.
Dr Potter said: “The review provides the greatest level of detail for ancient Egyptian collections in Scotland ever gathered, sharing increased information about provenance, donors and object identification.
“It has enabled us to redraw the map of Egyptian collections, adding museums from the Borders to Orkney. We have also made new connections between objects in different museums, highlighting how related the collections across the country are and how much we share with each other. Many people may not realise that they have ancient Egyptian objects right on their doorstep in museums across Scotland. Each of these collections have fascinating histories in their own right.”
Egyptian objects are spread across nearly 50 sites around Scotland, ranging from the smallest – Linlithgow Heritage Trust with two objects – to the largest – National Museums Scotland with more than 6,000 objects.

International Launch Services (ILS) has announced its first commercial shared launch using a Proton Breeze M with the Eutelsat 5 West B satellite and MEV-1, the first Mission Extension Vehicle (MEV) developed by Orbital ATK. In addition, ILS announced the first commercial contract incorporating the use of the newly announced Proton Medium launch vehicle. Both launches are for Eutelsat Communications.
The shared launch on Proton Breeze M will carry the Eutelsat 5 West B satellite, built on Orbital ATK’s GEOStar satellite platform, with an Airbus Defence and Space-built payload stacked on top of Orbital ATK’s MEV-1 spacecraft for launch in the last quarter of 2018. The MEV (Mission Extension Vehicle) will test the company’s proposed satellite life extension service, designed to rendezvous and dock with satellites to carry out on-orbit extension, repair and servicing. Earlier this year, it was announced that Intelsat had signed up as the first customer for the service.
The second mission is baselined with the Proton Medium launch vehicle with launch to be conducted in the 2019-2020 timeframe. The payload has not been revealed. Both missions will be launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
These two missions for Eutelsat are included under the Multi-Launch Agreement (MLA) announced by ILS in October of last year. The MLA was designed to provide Eutelsat with schedule flexibility and assured access to space “at cost-effective prices” over a seven-year period. The first mission launched under the MLA was the Eutelsat 9B satellite on January 30, 2016.
The Proton Medium vehicle was introduced last month, along with the Proton Light vehicle, during World Satellite Business Week in Paris. The vehicles are a product line extension of the commercial Proton Breeze M designed to expand the Proton addressable GEO market with competitive launch solutions in the small and medium satellite class range (3 to 5 metric tons). The vehicles are 2-stage versions of the Proton Breeze M launch system developed for exclusive commercial use by ILS. | <urn:uuid:c9c52afe-0d51-499d-a072-7a2de36d0e87> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.aircosmosinternational.com/article/ils-announces-first-commercial-shared-launch-first-proton-medium-mission-2025 | 2023-12-03T10:52:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100499.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20231203094028-20231203124028-00456.warc.gz | en | 0.9449 | 448 | [

As early as 2009, we determined at Codeminders that Big Data would have a colossal impact on the industry. That’s why we trained heavily and built an expertise within the eld as one of the earliest adopters, contributing to the Hadoop ecosphere development, earning certifications, and creating innovative tools.
Today, with over sixteen years of experience working on projects for clients ranging from seed stage entrepreneurs to Fortune 10 organizations, our team tackles some of the most challenging Big Data projects. We’re able to take care of every type of Big Data project at every stage.
We lead platform applications and reporting environments, perform terabytes of massive textual data analysis for recommendation systems, and participate in the development of cloud-based image and video hosting solutions. Our team can handle, curate, and provide reporting environments for internally and externally sourced, structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data.
At Codeminders, we’ve had years of experience leading Big Data projects from conception to deployment. Our team allows organizations to take advantage of internal or external data to drive intelligence through analytics. In our experience, projects typically follow four basic stages: evaluation, architecture, development, and deployment.
Before a project even starts at a User Story or a Request For Proposal (RFP), we can provide valuable knowledge and guidance. We listen to your ideas and get an understanding of what the startup or enterprise needs, and what the end-state needs to accomplish. Codeminders team members can then propose technologies and solutions in a meaningful and customized way. Maybe the situation calls for for HBase™, or MongoDB. Maybe it should be hosted through Amazon, Google, or a private cloud. Asking the right questions around the technology stack allows us to find the right solutions.
Our team can take a number of ideas, recommendations and technologies and develop a more formal system architecture. We can scope the technology stack, and incorporate all the fragmented technologies that will come together, resulting in a clear and strategically architected plan on how to put it together and the big picture of the project. From the simplest aspects, like what it will run on, to more complicated facets, like how and where it will interact with other systems, our thoroughness results in a comprehensive architecture document.
Development & Support
We love building. The Codeminders team of Big Data experts can implement the proposed architecture or hit the ground running to develop and deploy a preexisting system design. We understand the massive differences between startup and enterprise environments and have a wealth of experience to pull from when it comes to executing a deployment that best accommodates a particular environment. After seamless delivery, we provide ongoing support to help you handle any situation you might run into. When it comes to fixes, adjustments, upgrades or anything else you may need, we’ve got you covered.
Deployment & Maintenance
While we typically prefer to deploy in an Amazon Web Services environment, we can enable the deployment in a number of public or private clouds. We build and deploy a scalable system, implement the software, and configure it to our client’s individual needs. Need a maintenance and managed services approach? We do that. You own the system, and Codeminders provides the remote system administration running on your account
When you’ve worked in as many different Big Data environments across as many startups and enterprises as we have, you learn how to solve the challenges that inevitably arise and avoid them in future deployments.
Migration from a legacy system to the cloud can be difficult. We develop a plan that brings migration problems down to a manageable size and then we work closely with clients to solve them completely.
Designing for Scalability
Scalability is often the reason clients decide to undertake a Big Data project, and we’re there to make sure it lives up to their goals. From the expected number of users to throughput, data size and load, and growth rate, our team will help you plan your capacity. We’ll make sure that you thoroughly understand what resources, technology, and architecture will scale alongside your business needs.
Our team can handle, curate, and make actionable, internally and externally sourced data, whether structured, unstructured, or semi-structured. We have dealt with a variety of taxonomies, ontologies, file formats, and data types. There’s nothing we haven’t seen and developed when it comes to a Big Data project.
Search functionality within Big Data environments is a formidable challenge; you’re looking to make the data and information searchable and accessible. We get that. We’ve worked in some tough environments, and we can make real-time data searchable and accessible across multiple languages.
Machine Learning & AI
We can help you use the data to gain valuable insights to develop machine learning solutions. As a blend of developers and data scientists, we speak machine learning. We are comfortable with natural language processing capabilities and can make products that are able to make recommendations based on user preferences.
Analytics & Visualization
While we help to put your data in the cloud, it’s not enough to just collect information. It needs to be presented in a format that allows you to analyze and make decisions. We help you make the data actionable for the rest of your team, from sales and marketing to HR and finance. | <urn:uuid:47482272-f6fd-431c-ad10-67c43ffd8237> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://codeminders.com/bigdata.html | 2023-12-04T15:16:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100531.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20231204151108-20231204181108-00356.warc.gz | en | 0.921072 | 1,104 | [

We have said before that the stories within The Gilded Age are simply about the squabbles between the old rich and the new rich. It is the Gossip Girl of old New York, which is what has given it the relevance it currently enjoys. With season 2 premiering, we see the new troubles that will take over these characters, all the while remembering that none of them are ‘good.’ They may face their share of injustices, but it always comes with a level of frivolity that they themselves won’t mind indulging in if the tables were reversed. It is that facet of our favorite characters that we are going to see in this season, and this is the recap of the first episode of it.
How is Marian coping with her breakup?
Some time has passed since Gladys’ debutante ball. Bertha is an accepted part of New York society, though she still has a fair share of battles to fight. George Russell is as successful as ever, and Marian seems to be moving on, though she still carries the heartbreak of the past. She comes to know that Tom Raikes is getting married to someone else within the week, and she is further heartbroken. Ada tells Marian that it is a good thing that she acknowledges that the love she had for Tom was in the past. She promises her that someone may come, and if they don’t, Marian has a lot to offer, and she can do that for herself.
But there is some trouble immediately with Marian. Her aunts discover that she has been spending her Thursdays teaching young women how to paint. In all regards, it is a respectable job, but Agnes is furious because she doesn’t agree with anyone in her family working. Agnes and Marian have a fight, and they both say some unkind things to each other. Ada is disturbed by the unpleasantness of it all, but Marian is adamant that if things get uncomfortable, they might as well, but she will not back down from what she is doing. It reminds us of when Marian said to Peggy in season 1 that she just wanted to be busy and needed Marian to apologize to Agnes, but the older woman is still angry and will probably be for a while to come.
Does Gladys like Oscar Van Rhijen?
Oscar has wanted to marry Gladys for a long time, but her parents disapprove of him. He has also broken up with his boyfriend because the latter did not want to play second fiddle to Oscar’s life. The boyfriend wants to live his truth with discretion, but Oscar is carrying the weight of being the only man in the house and would like to follow societal norms for the sake of his family. When he gets beaten and robbed at a nightclub while looking for a rendezvous, that is his wake-up call for his plans. He decides to directly try to talk to Gladys to understand her feelings before he moves on.
Oscar asks Mrs. Fane to arrange a lunch where Gladys could come without her mother, and she obliges. When Oscar talks to Gladys, he finds that she has received none of his letters, as her mother had hidden them. He asks Gladys to marry him and promises that she would be independent and happy with him, and he also makes sure to point out that no other men would allow their wives this ‘liberty’ the way he would. Having been cooped up all her life by her mother, this sounds like a tempting offer to Gladys, and she promises Oscar to think about it.
Why is Bertha supporting the new opera house?
Bertha knows when she is accepted and when she is being given tokens of acceptance as a compromise, in exchange for her money. She wants to have a box at the opera house in the city and is furious that she is still not being considered for it. Mrs. Astor tells her that it is a matter of being on the waitlist and that there are many others, just like Bertha, who are also waiting their turn. It is not a matter of her acceptance but simply that of procedure. But Bertha is not one to wait for the procedure. If she did, she wouldn’t have gotten anywhere.
It is interesting that in The Gilded Age season 1, Bertha fought tooth and nail for an entry into the society of the elite. But in season 2, once she has gained that entry, she is forming her own rules. She wouldn’t have done this thing in season 1 because then, it would have led to there being two new societies entirely, and that is not what Bertha wanted. She did not just want a way in, but she wanted to lead society, and she had the good sense to understand that divide and conquer was not the strategy to be used here. It was about bringing about strategic changes and being at the helm of them. A new opera house is being opened in the city, and this is far larger and way more inclusive than the old one. The old elite have been against it, due to their typical snobbery of it being only good enough for the new rich (aka, the ones without refined tastes), but at Bertha’s dinner, she proves them all wrong.
At the end of The Gilded Age season 2, episode 1, we find that the new opera house has enough seats for everyone, and it is bringing in the best artists in the country to perform. The old opera house could manage neither due to their stubbornness, and the enthusiasm of everyone in the room shows Mrs. Astor that she is fighting a losing battle, especially when Bertha presents to everyone, one of the singers that has been promised to perform in the opera house, ready to sing in her own house. Essentially, Bertha wants a seat at both the tables, and that is her way of making sure that she will not lose.
We can tell that the main conflict of The Gilded Age Season 2 will likely be about the new opera house and the union fights that George Russell has to handle with other businessmen. Peggy is also picking up her life after coming to know that her son died of scarlet fever. She is trying to forgive her father, but that is an uphill task, so she is looking to get her old job back at the Van Rhijens’, which cannot be as simple as it sounds. Additionally, we also seem to detect some romance for Marian. This will be a good season. | <urn:uuid:4eb0d9d5-86e1-4caa-959c-9fb03dec0a0e> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://dmtalkies.com/the-gilded-age-season2-episode1-recap-ending-explained-2023-series/ | 2023-12-05T22:56:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100568.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20231205204654-20231205234654-00256.warc.gz | en | 0.989926 | 1,336 | [

Ark Communities, a workforce housing strategy by Landmark Partners, and Noah, the workforce housing management arm of multifamily manager Common, are collaborating to renovate and reposition the 286-unit Yorkewood community as Ark’s flagship workforce housing property in Baltimore.
"With Yorkewood as Noah's official entrance into Baltimore, we're proud to be working with local housing experts, Ark Communities, to provide quality workforce housing to the area with the focus on expansion throughout the city and state," says Brad Hargreaves, founder and CEO of Common. "Reliable property management is not often prioritized in workforce housing, even though it is poised to become one of the most important national housing categories post-COVID-19. Noah is on a mission to change this fact, and Yorkewood is a perfect example of exactly what the future of workforce housing should look like."
The Yorkewood community offers garden-style apartments across 68 buildings. Ark intends to execute a unit renovation program and refocus the community on serving residents who earn 80% or below of the area median income.
Ark parent company Landmark Partners notes that, despite COVID-19, rent prices in Baltimore have risen by 3.2% year over year—making affordable rental housing even more essential.
"It's imperative we protect and grow the attainable housing stock in Baltimore with focus on high-quality spaces and high-touch service. We're confident our partnership with Noah will provide the comprehensive skills and solution set to achieve our mission through rapid growth, impact-driven technology, and coordinated resident programs," says Jon Pannoni, president of Landmark Partners. "We are and always will place community first and seek every opportunity to build the relationships and experiences our residents have within our ecosystem." | <urn:uuid:4822c8e1-a18f-4cde-bbb5-b265a39b5f04> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.housingfinance.com/developments/ark-communities-and-noah-partner-on-workforce-housing-in-baltimore_s | 2023-12-05T22:48:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100568.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20231205204654-20231205234654-00256.warc.gz | en | 0.9546 | 362 | [

The $2.2 billion initial public offering of dating application Bumble on Thursday went off like so many before it. Bumble’s bankers upped its IPO price about 50% from an initial range to meet fierce demand for shares, but it didn’t tame the raging animal spirits of investors bidding up tech stock valuations into the stratosphere. Bumble shares skyrocketed 63% on its first day of trading, making founder and CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd, 31, the world’s youngest self-made woman billionaire.
For Blackstone’s flagship $18 billion buyout fund, BCP VII, the deal is a home run. All in, the firm has already made over four-times its initial investment, according to Forbes’ calculations. The windfall is mostly housed in the fund, and others like its tactical opportunities and growth funds. But it’s hardly an aberration. Look across Blackstone’s private equity portfolio and the firm seems to be sitting on a gold mine of similar dealmaking coups in companies involving digital payments, cloud software and data.
Coming out of the enormous disruption of the pandemic, Blackstone is beating the drum that the firm is firing on all cylinders. Now that it has listed Bumble, Blackstone’s growth equity business may be the next business to list a massive windfall as it aims to bring oat milk company Oatly public.

Many people come to Colombia in search of the Colonial architecture of Spain. Approximately 80 kms. to the north of Medellin, you will find the charming but bustling city of Santa Fe de Antioquia.
The city was founded in 1541 by Field Marshall Jorge Robledo with the name – The City of Antioch – La Ciudad de Antioquia. On a later trip he established another small town called the Villa de Santa Fe. Neither town fared well and eventually in 1584 they amalgamated and became Ciudad de Santa Fe de Antioquia. In the same year by order of the King of Spain, Santa Fe became the capital for the province/state of Antioquia which it remained until 1826.
Santa Fe has a population of 25,825 (2013) inhabitants of which 14963 are urban and 10862 are rural. The traditional economy of Santa Fe has been based on the production of coffee, corn and beans (frijoles) plus fruit and livestock. The mean average temperature is 27 C but this is truly ”tierra caliente” and Santa Fe is hot !
The opening of the Tunel de Occidente – The Tunnel of the West, in 2006, has made tourism an important part of the economic engine as it cut off 40 minutes of mountainous driving to reach the former Capital. This hot, all year round climate has made Santa Fe a popular holiday and weekend resort.
Driving to Santa Fe can be a bit challenging as virtually no road signs exist. From Carrera 80 pass in front of the Exito in Robledo. If you are facing the store then on the far right side, take a left up the hill. Follow the traffic and eventually, you will see a sign for San Jeronimo. Further up the hill the road will split left and right and you will see a sign for the Tunnel. Take this left fork in road.
As of January 2014, the toll for the tunnel was 12.500 COP. This passageway through the mountain is 4.2 km long and you emerge on the other side of almost in a different world. Medellin stretches chaotically up to very close to the entrance of the tunnel but as you exit you will see beautiful, verdant mountains and valleys. The vegetation is lush but as you begin your descent to Santa Fe you will begin to see a dramatic change in the scenery.
The altitude of Santa Fe is between 390m and 550 m feet above sea level. As a result the temperature climbs as you descend and the ground cover becomes more and more arid. The heat makes this area an excellent location for growing fruit and there are many roadside fruit stands.
As you enter the historic section of the city you can easily be transported back 250 years to a time when the narrow streets only needed to accommodate horses and mules. The cobbled streets and whitewashed houses have not changed much since that time. Today they are a little more chaotic as this is a hub for the local agriculture industry and there is much movement on the roadways that weren’t intended for cars and trucks.
The town square is larger than most that you will encounter in the many of the Colombian pueblos and reflects the importance that Santa Fe played as the capital of the province/state of Antioquia for more than 200 years.
The colonial homes hold an appeal to some and certainly, you can see the rejuvenation of some of the older homes as you stroll through the streets. Many developers have risen to the call and have developed condo communities very close to the historic city. These meet the needs of many weekenders who are looking for a warm place to escape to for a few days. Later this year we will be examining real estate prospects in Santa Fe.
Your visit to Santa Fe can be done easily in a day, but staying over a weekend and walking the streets, early Sunday morning will give you a far better feel for what the old colonial city was like. The entire old city is a historic site and in 1960 was declared a national monument by the Colombian government.
While in town you can visit the Metropolitan Cathedral. This has been often called the Mother Church as it was the first in this part of Colombia. The original church burnt down and was replaced by the Cathedral in 1837. There are three other churches that you can visit, within blocks of the main square. Of particular note is the Iglesia Santa Barbara that has a lovely Baroque facade. Beside the Church of Santa Barbara is the Museum of Religious Art and if you enjoy museums then include the Museum of Juan del Corral. Two other sites that you might wish to include are the Archiepiscopal Palace and the Puente de Occidente – the Bridge of the West.
The Bridge of the West is a suspension bridge that was constructed in 1887 – the same year the Eiffel Tower was built. If you don’t have a vehicle then you can take the 6 km. drive in a local moto-taxi. If you have the opportunity you can climb up the hill behind the bridge and have an excellent view across the Cauca River.
The bridge is still functional today. You can walk the entire span or if you have a car, you can drive it as well. Due to weight concerns the vehicles are spaced apart as to not put too much stress on this historic, single-lane bridge. The base of the roadway are wooden planks and they rattled as you drive across them.
Allow yourself an hour and forty or fifty minutes to make the drive. It is well worth your time to catch a glimpse of Colonial Colombia in Santa Fe de Antioquia.

National Security Agency has been paying a French security firm for backdoors and zero day hacks.
According to a contract newly released in response to a Freedom of Information request, last year the NSA purchased a 12-month subscription to a "binary analysis and exploits service" sold by Vupen, a zero-day Exploit Seller based in France.
VUPEN is one of a handful of companies that sell software exploits and vulnerability details, who do original vulnerability research and develop exploits for bugs that they find.
They Sold those exploits to the Governments and Law enforcement agencies. VUPEN has promised that the company only will sell its services to NATO countries and will not deal with oppressive regimes.

Ever wondered why social engineering is so effective? Dive deep into the psychology of cyber attackers in our upcoming webinar.Join Now
It is unclear how much money the NSA spent on the Vupen exploits package because the cost has been redacted in the released contract.
Last year, Vupen researchers successfully cracked Google's Chrome browser, but declined to show developers how they did so even for an impressive cash bounty. "We wouldn't share this with Google for even $1 million," Vupen CEO Chaouki Bekrar told at that time.
Vupen has previously drawn criticism from security experts, as well as privacy advocates such as Soghoian, who delivered a presentation about the exploit vulnerability marketplace at the recent Virus Bulletin conference and characterized the firm as being a "zero-day cyber weapon merchant."
These flaws can then be exploited to gain access to a system and its information, or the vulnerabilities can be sold on the black market, where Vupen is doing something similar by not helping the vendors.
Because even Vupen sold their services to the NSA defensive reasons, but we all are now aware with the offensive hacking operations of NSA and other Law enforcement agencies. | <urn:uuid:f16845ab-33b4-4b00-957f-50168aacbef2> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://thehackernews.com/2013/09/nsa-bought-hacking-tools-from-vupen.html | 2023-12-08T09:23:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100739.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20231208081124-20231208111124-00056.warc.gz | en | 0.95626 | 399 | [

BOSTON – After capturing the conference crown last spring and advancing to the 2023 MCLA National Championships presented by New Balance, Boston College has been voted the favorite in Division I of the Continental Lacrosse Conference (CLC), according to the preseason coaches poll.
The Eagles (10-3), which lost in the first round of nationals to Utah Valley, grabbed four of the five first-place votes to vault three points clear of the field.
Northeastern (11-6) checks in at No. 2. The Huskies fell to Boston College, 13-9, in the CLC finals in 2023, but received an at-large bid to Round Rock. Northeastern gave eventual national champion Concordia its toughest game, bowing, 12-11. The Huskies were awarded the remaining first-place vote.
New Hampshire (6-7), which lost to Northeastern in the CLC semifinals, is slotted third in the five-team league while Connecticut (3-7) and Buffalo (0-10) round out the rankings.
With only five teams this spring, the CLC Division I will not receive an automatic berth to the 2024 MCLA National Championships presented by New Balance. CLC teams are still eligible for at-large selection.

Only six of the top 250 company CEOs are women, of which three are founders or hailing from promoter families, according to a diversity study for FY20, put together exclusively for ET by executive search firm EMA Partners India.
The government is keen on getting more women into the workforce, but corporate India is still overwhelmingly male when it comes to top jobs. Only six of the top 250 company CEOs are women, of which three are founders or hailing from promoter families, according to a diversity study for FY20, put together exclusively for ET by executive search firm EMA Partners India.
The percentage of women CEO/MDs dropped to 2.4% in FY20 from 4.1% in FY16 (10 women CEOs in 245 companies), said the report, which covered 250 of the top ET500 companies by market capitalisation.
Even the banking sector, which accounted for 10% of the overall women CEOs in FY16, has fallen short, and has only 5% of the total currently. However, overall, BFSI (banking, financial services and insurance) has held strong, with all three professional women CEOs featured coming from the sector services, and more.
This also marks the first time in the past five years that there has been an equal distribution in terms of women professionals and women entrepreneurs/promoter families (three each). In FY16 and FY17, women professionals accounted for 60% of the women CEOs; in FY19, it was 80%.
“Diversity has been a focal point for corporations in the past 10-15 years, but unfortunately the numbers speak otherwise. We are still a long way from achieving gender balance when it comes to top jobs in companies,” said Reet Bhambhani, partner and diversity practice leader, EMA Partners India. “We have done a leadership pipeline analysis of potential women CEOs and the numbers are not encouraging in most sectors, especially industrial and manufacturing, which forms the majority of top companies in India.”
Experts said there are no quick fixes—long-term efforts that start at the ground level are needed. “Organisations are microcosms of society and reflect the larger ecosystem, so the poor representation of women CEOs is not just a corporate issue but a much larger issue of unequal access to opportunities, lack of supportive environments both at home and in the workplace, skewed expectations of the role of women, etc.” said Vinita Bali, former managing director, Britannia Industries. “Dads and moms and spouses and colleagues at work have to realise that they all have a role to play.”
Company boards must also take on a more compelling role in ensuring diversity and a culture that is inclusive and equitable, experts said.
“The number of women in CXO positions is still very small; therefore, the opportunities for women to rise as CEOs are limited,” said Arun Duggal, chairman, ICRA, and founder of Women on Corporate Boards in India. “Companies need to have programmes to develop women at CXO levels and one level below and that pipeline of future women leaders and potential CEOs should be periodically reviewed by the board of directors.”
“There is a strong impetus for diversity now, with the pandemic having proven the business case for remote working,” said Saundarya Rajesh, founder-director of diversity and inclusion consulting firm Avtar Group. However, to fully unlock the benefits of diversity, companies have to invest in leadership bandwidth.
“Success in true inclusion of not only women but all underrepresented talent will occur when the business believes that there is value,” Rajesh said. “Ultimately, diversity, equity and inclusion are enablers to help businesses grow and deliver real value.” The February 1 budget proposed that women be allowed to work in all categories and on night shifts with adequate protection, steps expected to encourage more sectors to hire females. Also, the labour ministry’s draft model to formalise remote working for the services sector will help create more job opportunities for women, particularly in smaller cities, ET reported Friday. | <urn:uuid:ab41451a-c621-47dc-89c9-fb0fb72de563> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.ema-partners.com/insights/ground-reality-of-India-inc-shows-big-gender-gap-at-top | 2023-12-10T16:09:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679102612.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20231210155147-20231210185147-00756.warc.gz | en | 0.963247 | 860 | [

Splashtop today is releasing remote desktop Streamer software for Ubuntu Linux. We’ve been following this company (aka DeviceVM) for a few years and are excited about its evolution and what it’s bringing to Linux users. We share here a Q&A we were able to do with Splashtop CEO Mark Lee about today’s news. It includes a sneak preview for Linux users of what’s coming next.
Congratulations on today’s launch of Splashtop remote desktop Streamer software for Ubuntu Linux. What does this release mean for Linux users?
Lee: First, Linux users will now have a high-performance remote access solution that’s 10X faster than traditional VNC. Splashtop is known for supporting a high video frame rate and low latency – up to 30 frames per second, and under 30 milliseconds – so the user gets a truly amazing experience when viewing high definition video and even playing interactive games. Second, the Splashtop protocol is highly optimized for WAN where the streaming bit rate is dynamically adjusted based on available bandwidth, so anywhere you go you can enjoy the best possible experience while remotely accessing your Linux computer. Third, Splashtop seamlessly traverses the firewall using the SSL security protocol; there is no need for port forwarding or SSH tunneling. Finally, Splashtop offers a consistent remote access app across Android, iOS, Windows and Mac devices.
Linux gamers should enjoy many benefits from this release. Given the latest moves from Valve and the maturing Linux desktop, what’s your forecast for Linux gaming and how can Splashtop have an impact here?
Lee: We are excited to see Valve’s Linux support. With Splashtop, Linux gamers can now redirect their favorite Valve games to their mobile devices anywhere they go. Soon, we will also redirect games to TVs as cross-screen redirection is where Splashtop is heading. Splashtop’s success is largely driven from its unique performance advantage, so we invest in optimizing for the latest hardware. In the process, we push all major silicon vendors to have robust, best-in-class Linux support.
We are very excited about the future of Linux gaming, especially around Android. Android is built on Linux, and more and more GPU cores are being added into mobile chips at an unprecedented pace. The projection is that within a few years, mobile chips will deliver a better gaming experience than game consoles. In 2013, Splashtop will be able to redirect Android gaming to TV screens – part of Splashtop’s any-screen to any-screen, cross-device computing push.
Can you tell us more about your partnership with Ubuntu, especially as it relates to today’s announcement?
Lee: Many Ubuntu users have contacted us asking for a Linux version of Splashtop Streamer. We are excited to bring Splashtop Streamer support to millions of Ubuntu users now, via the Ubuntu Software Center. Besides Ubuntu Desktop users, Splashtop is optimized and ready for Ubuntu Servers, as well the Ubuntu Cloud Infrastructure. Splashtop becomes a powerful alternative to VNC, delivering high performance remote access for users, remote management for IT, and remote app and data delivery for service providers.
The Linux desktop is an interesting discussion topic that varies based on how the desktop is defined. How does Splashtop define today’s desktop and how is that impacting the larger PC market?
Lee: The role of the “desktop” has continued to evolve quickly in the past few years.
Six years ago, Splashtop (aka DeviceVM) invented an instant-on HTML5 Linux OS that boots up in less than 5 seconds. Splashtop’s instant-on OS has shipped on over 100 million PCs from HP, Lenovo, Dell, Sony, Asus, Acer, and others. Effectively, Splashtop’s instant-on Linux-based browser OS has become the largest Linux distribution, and millions of users have been using the instant-on browser OS without knowing it’s Linux underneath.
Three years ago, with the emergence of smartphones and tablets, we realized that the “desktop” was also becoming a “server.” Users want to go everywhere with their mobile devices and want to have access to all their favorite apps and data on their computers. Splashtop turns every desktop into a personal cloud, delivering applications and data to any device, anytime, anywhere. With Splashtop, people are effectively carrying their desktops in their pocket. Splashtop now has over 11 million mobile users accessing their desktops as their own personal clouds today, and now we are excited to turn the Ubuntu desktop into a personal cloud as well.
We believe the future “desktop” is closely integrated with the cloud. Users shouldn’t really care what device they are using, and yet have full access to all types of apps, content, and data, anytime, anywhere. The user experience metaphor could be desktop-centric, app-centric, data-centric, search-centric, or others. Splashtop is positioning itself to be the leader in cross-device computing, bridging across PCs, mobile devices, TVs, and the cloud.
What’s next for Splashtop as we look ahead to a new year?
Lee: Splashtop is always innovating and delivering value and excitement to our users, both individual consumers and businesses. Tens of millions of mobile users are enjoying Splashtop, and they are now taking Splashtop into the workplace. The bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trend is accelerating, and businesses want to mobilize their workforce. Splashtop for Business is the fastest, simplest, and most secure way to “tabletize” businesses. As we head into a new year, our goal is to bring more and more exciting capabilities and value to consumers and businesses, enabling them to take advantage of mobility and the cloud.
In connection with your current product release, I hear that you have a treat to share with us today…
Lee: Yes, I’d like to give Linux fans a sneak preview of an upcoming Splashtop 1-to-many streaming technology that enables a Linux PC to stream 10+ concurrent Ubuntu desktop sessions to mobile devices. Check out this video for your preview.

Wellington, FL – April 4, 2012 – It’s a “Cinderella Story” when it comes to Josh Pertnoy, principal of the Shapiro-Pertnoy Companies. He undoubtedly began his career in one of the most unglamorous roles—sweeping floors and working as a laborer from adolescence. Presently, Pertnoy works with the two-generation company handling the construction of all residential and commercial buildings. It has been 13 years since Pertnoy joined the family business, bringing a youthful dynamism and hunger for knowledge while introducing a fresh outlook to the 34 year old company .
Pertnoy’s father, Ronnie, raised his son in the construction business, familiarizing him with the business in terms of labor and customer relations. Pertnoy began working full-time for Shapiro-Pertnoy Companies 13 years ago, quickly ascending the learning curve to grasp onto the multi-dimensional world of high-end construction. The one thing he always has cherished about his work ethic is what his father instilled in him as a child—sincerity.
“I think watching my dad while I was growing up and seeing how he interacted with our clients, subcontractors and people who work for us really helped me to learn those ethics and become the person I am today,” Pertnoy explained. “The hard work, honesty and ability to try and make sure everyone we work for is 100% satisfied really kind of shined through more than anything else.”
A Florida licensed contractor, Pertnoy manages all of the sites and handles the budgeting, schedules and employees on the job. He oversees a full-time staff of nearly 15 construction personnel and multiple, simultaneous construction projects. To date, his largest project is a 30,000 square foot waterfront residence in Jupiter, FL. Six years in the planning and four years in the construction process, his signature project sets the bar for quality, and his more recent projects only act to enhance his reputation in the real estate world.
Pertnoy has managed many property sites, and seen great success; however, he admitted that his favorite part of the job is when the house is complete and the client finally steps over the threshold . The moment the lights turn on, he explained, and our client sees their finished home, he gets an overwhelming feeling of accomplishment and relief.
As the Shapiro-Pertnoy Companies enter their 34th year, Pertnoy continues to pursue new clients from all ends of the construction spectrum. He has built luxurious residential estates, office buildings and even a zoo—there is no job that Shapiro-Pertnoy Companies cannot do, especially with the second generation acting as such a guiding force.
“Honestly, it feels like it happened over night. I went from sweeping floors to waking up and having an active role in the business,” Pertnoy concluded. “Time has a way of flying by when you love what you’re doing and these past few years have been great. I’d like to have another 35 years of having a great reputation and growing the business. I have pride in what I do, and I think that is one of the most important things in construction.”
For 34 years, the Shapiro-Pertnoy Companies have been the choice of discerning homebuyers throughout South Florida. From a spectacular 30,000 square foot residential compound in Jupiter to the equestrian communities of Wellington, and from luxury lifestyles in the mountains of North Carolina to a new professional office complex in Palm Beach Gardens, the Shapiro-Pertnoy Companies remain in the forefront of development in the upscale residential and commercial markets. For more information about the Shapiro-Pertnoy Companies, please visit www.shapiropertnoy.com.

We love celeb trainer Jeanette Jenkins's quick, effective Instagram workout routines, and her latest is no exception: a total-body burner that uses only a park bench as equipment. You can do this workout on a sturdy outdoor bench, like Jeanette shows, or as a quick circuit in the gym using an exercise bench. Either way, the fast pace of the moves combines strength with cardio for a great all-over workout.
Jeanette Jenkins's Full-Body Bench Workout
Directions: Start with a dynamic warmup like this one. Then move into the workout, doing as many reps as you can of each move for 30-45 seconds. When you finish the last exercise, repeat the full circuit for two to three complete rounds. Once you're done, don't forget loosen up with a stretching routine.

- Positive results in the PRO 140 clinical trials should mean good news for investors, CytoDyn President Nader Pourhassan said in an interview
- CytoDyn is currently undervalued but the effectiveness and practical appeal of PRO 140 should contribute to a turning point in stock prices
- PRO 140, a single agent therapy, is proving highly effective in the treatment of HIV; CytoDyn also planning an expansion of clinical trials to certain types of cancer
The growth potential of CytoDyn Inc. (OTCQB: CYDY) is huge, company President and CEO Dr. Nader Pourhassan said in an interview with The Wall Street Transcript (http://nnw.fm/wE4oq). According to Pourhassan, CytoDyn is undervalued for the time being, but PRO 140 is expected to contribute significantly to the growth of company stock value.
Pourhassan was appointed director in 2012, and, ever since, he has been responsible for driving the opportunity of PRO 140 as a single agent therapy for HIV, from Phase II development and into Phase III trials, including the development of trial protocols and interaction with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Wall Street Transcript wrote.
PRO 140 is in advanced stages of clinical development, and recently-concluded trials clearly demonstrated its anti-viral benefits. The single-agent therapy works by blocking CCR5 HIV co-receptors on T-cells. This activity disables the viral entry without having an adverse effect on the patient’s normal immune function.
Through the clinical trials, PRO 140 demonstrated additional significant advantages over other anti-viral therapies. It showed very little toxicity or side effects in treated patients, and there was also a lack of HIV resistance developing to the treatment.
According to Pourhassan, PRO 140 could potentially make it possible for patients to put away all of their HIV pills in the near future. Currently, the company works with and monitors a small group of patients who have gone four years without needing pills, solely taking PRO 140 as single agent therapy.
The administration of PRO 140 is sub-cutaneous injection. The therapy can be administered in the comfort of one’s home, adding to the practical appeal of PRO 140, Pourhassan said. PRO 140 is designed to be injected just once per week.
One more key characteristic differentiates PRO 140 from other HIV/AIDS therapies. While on other currently approved treatments, patients will face immediate consequences in the event of missing a single dose as their HIV viral loads will begin increasing; PRO 140 allows a three-day grace period during which patients will not experience ill effects.
As of October 2018, PRO 140 HIV trials have been highly successful (http://nnw.fm/64u2Y). The viral entry inhibitor demonstrated a 93 percent suppression rate at a dose of 525 milligrams following a six-week induction period. The clinical trials suggest that the higher the dosage, the quicker the response. The probability of viral rebound is also reduced.
Based on these results and research by the company and others suggesting a role for PRO 140 in preventing cancer metastasis, CytoDyn is now planning to expand the PRO 140 clinical investigation to the treatment of cancer.
To enable such an expansion, CytoDyn has hired world-renowned cancer researcher Dr. Richard Pestell as the its chief medical officer. Pestell will be joining the team in the near future to guide the PRO 140 program toward non-HIV indications.

Believe In Science ltd Launches New Steamed Yeast raised Donuts – Urban Legend
Updated: Jun 14
Urban Legend, a healthier doughnut brand, has recently secured £3m in seed funding to tackle the UK's obesity crisis. The brand, launched by former Graze CEO Anthony Fletcher’s Believe in Science, aims to provide a healthier alternative to traditional doughnuts with no artificial preservatives, colours, or flavourings. With at least 50% less sugar and fat than rival products, Urban Legend's doughnuts contain fewer than 160 calories.
The product is also steamed rather than deep-fried, with a micro layer of fat applied to the outside and a “beam of steam”, reducing the amount of saturated fat in the doughnuts.
The investment round was led by Eka, a leading VC firm, with support from the Good Food Fund, JamJar Investments, Samos Investments, and angel investors such as former Pret a Manger CEO Clive Schlee.
By prioritizing health and using innovative methods to reduce fat and sugar content, Urban Legend is poised to make a significant impact in the UK's food industry.

Climate insights is the newest feature of PYLOT which record incidents that disrupt the greenhouse climate. Initially, the program will address deviations in temperature and relative humidity. Other climate variables will be added to Climate Insights over time. Last year, PYLOT introduced the widely appicable and user-friendly 'big data platform' for the national and international horticulture sector with a goal to make grow easier.
Data platform expands further: incident management now available
Despite climate computer control, an incident undermining the programmed greenhouse climate cannot be ruled out. A temperature or humidity level outside the computer’s configured set point could damage the crop. The climate computer should adjust the climate by itself, but there are always situations where this doesn’t occur sufficiently,’ says Marc Rooijakkers of PYLOT, explaining the principle of the new functionality.
‘What Climate Insights does is to record the incident, taking several components into account such as the crop type, its age, the 24-hour period, solar radiation and the greenhouse type. Later the grower can recall the moment at which the situation occurred, analyze it and prevent any recurrence. PYLOT makes adjusting and optimizing easier than ever.
Four measurement settings
Climate Insights currently has four measurement settings to assess deviations: a temperature that is too high or low, and air humidity that is too high or low. PYLOT has undertaken extensive preparations for launching Climate Insights. Several customers were willing to test a first version of the program. Cultivation consultants are also involved closely in the development. Climate Insights has been further perfected based on this practical and positive feedback.
Growers remain closely involved in developing of Climate Insights. They will also help to determine what other climate variables needs to be built in, such as greenhouse’s CO2 levels.
In ongoing development
Climate Insights is available right now to all PYLOT users worldwide. The launch of Climate Insights rapid succession of another new feature: day-to-day harvest planning with Crop Cycles. PYLOT was introduced last year and is in ongoing development.
The data platform was created to translate data from various environments and brands of climate computers into usable management information for users worldwide. The aim is to make growing easier and give growers and investors insight and overview when fine-tuning their cultivation strategies. The data platform is available in five languages for the five main crops: tomato, sweet pepper, cucumber, eggplant and lettuce.

Windows and doors are two crucial elements of any home. They not only serve practical purposes, but they also significantly impact the aesthetics and overall feel of a house. In this blog post, we will explore the importance of windows and doors in creating a comfortable and inviting living space.
Enhancing Natural Light and Ventilation
One of the key benefits of windows is their ability to bring in natural light. Natural light not only brightens up a room but also has numerous health benefits. Exposure to sunlight boosts our mood, improves our sleep patterns, and enhances our overall well-being. Additionally, windows allow for proper ventilation, ensuring fresh air circulates throughout the house.
To maximize the benefits of windows, it’s essential to choose the right type and placement. Large windows facing south or west can bring in ample sunlight, while strategically placed windows can create cross-ventilation, improving air quality and reducing the need for artificial cooling systems.
Security and Energy Efficiency
Doors, on the other hand, play a crucial role in providing security and energy efficiency for your home. A sturdy front door with a reliable locking system acts as the first line of defense against intruders. Reinforced doors with multiple locking points and shatter-resistant glass can significantly enhance the security of your home.
Energy efficiency is another critical aspect to consider when choosing DesignByWarren. Poorly insulated or outdated windows and doors can result in significant heat loss during the winter and heat gain during the summer. This can lead to increased energy bills and a less comfortable living environment. By investing in energy-efficient windows and doors, you can reduce your carbon footprint and save on energy costs in the long run.
Enhancing Curb Appeal and Home Value
Windows and doors also play a crucial role in enhancing the curb appeal and overall value of your home. They are among the first features people notice when approaching a house, and they greatly contribute to its overall aesthetic appeal. Choosing the right style, material, and color of windows and doors can transform the exterior of your home and make a lasting impression.
Moreover, high-quality windows and doors are considered valuable assets in the real estate market. Potential buyers often look for properties with updated and well-maintained windows and doors. By investing in these upgrades, you not only enhance your home’s value but also increase its marketability in the future.
Windows and doors are not just functional elements of a home but also significant contributors to its overall beauty, security, and energy efficiency. By choosing the right style, material, and placement, you can enhance natural light, ventilation, and curb appeal while ensuring the safety and comfort of your living space. Investing in high-quality windows and doors is a wise decision that will not only benefit you now but also add long-term value to your home. | <urn:uuid:141fe657-d002-48d9-a5a4-646dbe4194b8> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://primepostings.com/the-importance-of-windows-and-doors-in-designbywarren/ | 2023-12-01T04:22:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100264.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20231201021234-20231201051234-00756.warc.gz | en | 0.931449 | 571 | [

When it comes to machinery, size doesn’t always matter. With the right machine, you can tackle just about any job. That’s why excavators are so popular; they’re able to work in tight spaces and move large objects.
Plus, they’re not too expensive to rent. In fact, most rental companies will give you a breakdown of what you’ll need to pay for an excavator rental.
Excavators are a type of heavy equipment used in construction and demolition. They are extremely useful for moving large amounts of earth and debris, but the cost of owning one can be prohibitive for many people.
A mini excavator is one of the most important pieces of equipment on any work site. They are commonly used for digging and moving earth and can be used for a variety of other tasks as well. Mini excavators come in a variety of sizes and are perfect for smaller jobs.
They are easy to operate and can be moved around easily. They can dig holes for foundations, and can be used for other projects as well.
Mini excavators are also called mini diggers or mini bulldozers. They come in a variety of sizes and so are perfect for many jobs.
How Much Does It Cost To Rent An Excavator
The cheapest excavators cost around $100,000, while the most expensive can run up to $400,000. There are several factors that contribute to the high price tag, including the cost of the machine itself, the cost of transporting it to the job site, and the cost of maintaining it. Despite the high price tag, excavators are a valuable tool for many construction and demolition projects.
You can expect to rent an average-sized medium-sized 15-ton dipper, with daily rates between $1,300 and $1,500, or a weekly rental cost of approximately $3,000 to $5,000 if you lease for 52 weeks. If you instead lease for longer, you’ll end up spending between $2,000 and $4,000 per week.
Cost Of Excavator
Compact excavators are the smallest class and weigh under 6 tons. These kinds of excavators are the most popular type because they are versatile and easy to maneuver. They can fit through a standard doorway, so they are perfect for small projects or tight spaces. Compact excavators have a shorter arm and bucket than larger models, which makes them ideal for digging in confined areas.
The smallest class of compact excavators weighs under six tons, and they are the cheapest to rent, with a low daily rental changeable from $250 to $450. You can rent a compact reject by the hour for about $50 per hour.
|Excavator Size||Cost Per Day||Cost Per Month|
|Bobcat 6 ton E26||$360||$2400|
The cost of a mini excavator can vary greatly depending on the model and features included. Generally, mini excavators are less expensive than full-sized models, but they may not have all the features or capabilities of more expensive models. Additionally, some operators may be able to get a used mini excavator for less money than a new one.
Depending on the rental location, you can rent a mini-excavator for around $450 to $600 per day on average, with the amount ranging between $3,000 and $4,000 per month.
When considering the cost of a standard excavator, there are many factors to consider. One of the most important is the engine size. A smaller engine will typically be cheaper than a larger engine, but it may not have the power or capacity needed for certain tasks. Other factors that can affect the cost of an excavator include the type of suspension system, fuel efficiency, and safety features.
Standard excavators are the biggest kind and therefore typically have the largest variation in cost. An average model can go anywhere from $700 to $2,000 to rent for a day and between $4,000 to $8,000 rent for a month.
The largest excavator in the world is the Caterpillar 930C, which stands at a height of 45.5 meters (148.3 feet) and has a weight of 340 metric tons (370 long tons; 460 short tons).
The cost of a large excavator can vary depending on the make and model. Some models can cost as much as $350,000, while others may only cost around $100,000.
The price also depends on the features included in the excavator and the amount of power it has.
Per Week Rental Rates
As opposed to renting an escalator weekly, you can reduce your costs by up to 40 percent by using a weekly rental plan.
On average, the best excavator rental businesses will charge between $1250 and over $5000 for a weekly rental. The price ranges apply to the biggest excavators, ideally the best 17,000-pound excavator models.
The rate will increase with the size of an excavator and its price. So, the rate for the $5,000 per workweek variety will be larger models like the 76,000-pound excavator, whereas the leading 45,000-pound excavator models often cost between slightly more than $2,000 and slightly above $2,500 per week.
Several of the leading excavator rental companies offer jackhammers and attachments as add-ons to the price of renting. To rent several attachment sizes with your excavator will cost you $120 to $800 per day.
Excavators are a necessary piece of equipment for many construction and demolition projects. They can be used to move large quantities of earth and debris quickly and easily, making the work go much more smoothly.
If you are in need of an excavator for your next project, be sure to consult with a rental company to find the best machine for the job.
The cost of renting an excavator can vary depending on the size and duration of the rental. It is important to factor in the cost of delivery, fuel, and operator fees when calculating the total cost of renting an excavator.
By considering these factors, you can ensure that you are getting the best deal on an excavator rental. | <urn:uuid:c5db4ae7-6362-43e9-8e9e-d32b8b931ebd> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://stylebuzzer.com/how-much-does-it-cost-to-rent-an-excavator/ | 2023-12-01T02:36:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100264.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20231201021234-20231201051234-00756.warc.gz | en | 0.939134 | 1,302 | [

Welding Lead Reels: Essential Tips for Safe and Effective Welding
Welding lead reels are an essential piece of equipment for any welding job. They store and protect welding leads, making them easier to transport and use. By using a welding lead reel, you can reduce the risk of tripping over the welding lead and avoid other safety hazards. In this article, we’ll discuss the importance of welding lead reels and offer tips for safe and effective welding.
What Are Welding Lead Reels?
Welding lead reels are reels that are designed to store and protect welding leads. They come in a variety of sizes and can be made from a variety of materials such as steel, aluminum, and plastic. Welding lead reels are typically used to store and transport welding leads, which are insulated cables that connect the welding machine to the welding electrode. By using a welding lead reel, you can reduce the risk of tripping over the welding lead and avoid other safety hazards.
Why Are Welding Lead Reels Important?
Welding lead reels are important because they help protect welders and other personnel from electric shocks or burns. The reel also helps to keep the welding lead from becoming tangled and damaged. By using a welding lead reel, you can reduce the risk of tripping over the welding lead and avoid other safety hazards.
Safety Tips for Using Welding Lead Reels
When using welding lead reels, it’s important to take some safety precautions. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Always inspect the welding lead before use. Look for signs of wear or damage, and replace the lead if necessary.
- Make sure the welding lead is properly connected to the welding machine and the electrode.
- Keep the welding lead reel away from any heat sources or sparks.
- Secure the welding lead reel to a stable surface or structure to prevent it from tipping over.
- Keep the welding lead reel away from combustible materials.
- Do not leave the welding lead reel unattended.

After completing a study that included questions concerning herself, what she was wanting to achieve in therapy, and her current mindset, she was likewise able to note out choices she seeks in a therapist.
Several of these choices included the specialist’s sex, experiences, as well as other personal qualities that could aid when choosing who to see. Syed, particularly, sought a specialist of color with experience in LGBTQIA+- associated concerns.
Syed was matched with a therapist within 2 hours of completing the types.
” I got an alert by means of e-mail and also a message,” she claims. “I had the choice to set up a consultation with her or to select an additional therapist. I selected to make a consultation with her, and it’s been terrific up until now!”.
Between the choices for meeting over a call, carrier, or video clip , Syed picked to fulfill over video clip.

The first consultation lasted for around 50 mins. A lot of what Syed was trying to find in a specialist was established in this preliminary consultation.
“My therapist is all of those points, plus amusing, empathetic, as well as simple to chat to.”.
Syed additionally suches as that the method of call can be transformed based upon their preference. If she wishes instead of meeting over video clip, she suches as being able to talk on the phone.

I love the real-time chat choice so I can message my specialist if points take place throughout the day, and also we can make sure we discuss them at our once a week session. I would certainly highly suggest BetterHelp for any kind of and also every person. There’s generally something to get.
Betterhelp works for me so I do not need to miss out on benefit sessions and they were outstanding at matching me with something that might truly help me with what I was undergoing. When I couldn’t pay for the service they were even able to sustain me with subsidy. Thanks Betterhelp for aiding me find an incredible specialist and also getting the assistance I was searching for.
I have actually just had a couple of sessions with my new therapist, and so much I’m really amazed with her. She’s specialist, personable/friendly, and non-judgmental, which is a needs to in treatment, but I really assume BetterHelp’s match-up system toenailed it. I really felt much better filling out the survey at the start than I did ever signing up with any of my other therapists, because they had a standard to figure out/decide if I was a fit for them, as well as who would match with me.
We determined to put BetterHelp to the test.

I received counseling through BetterHelp for four weeks, looking for temporary therapy for tension and anxiousness over caregiving as well as problems regarding my mom, that has health problems and also lives in one more state. I also wished to learn ways to better interact with my siblings, with whom I occasionally clash over caregiving matters.
BetterHelp permits clients to change specialists at any type of time and as numerous times as they find necessary. I stuck with the very same specialist, and over the course of 4 video clip sessions, she provided pointers on ways to minimize or avoid anxiousness and also settle persisting communication problems with one of my siblings.
I located my on-line video clip sessions with my specialist to be as valuable as my previous experiences with in-person therapy. My therapist made suggestions without pushing me to follow them and also supplied ways I can deal with stress and anxiety, such as breathing exercises as well as journaling techniques for regarding anxieties or concerns in an extra sensible and rational means.
I likewise found BetterHelp client service to be receptive as well as useful. When I forgot to terminate my subscription after four weeks and also was billed for the next month, the agent answered promptly as well as immediately refined a reimbursement for the sum total. On a separate event, when I submitted a question via the platform’s support messaging, I got a satisfying reply to my concern within a couple of hours.
I really did not utilize messaging, live chat or phone sessions for counseling, however my specialist advised me during each session that those alternatives were offered and also motivated me to use them. I felt my specialist was an outstanding therapist and an excellent suit for the problems that brought me to therapy.

The Great Big Book of Families
About this deal
A challenging experience can make a young child feel as if they are in emotional free fall. As a parent, you can’t stop them falling, but you can offer them a softer landing: As we know, the publisher’s bottom line in making changes after publication is a monetary one. If a publisher knows that a particular book or series (or the company itself) will be boycotted over an issue, it’s more likely that changes will be made. (I believe that that’s what happened in the AMAZING GRACE series. And what happened when our review of MY HEART IS ON THE GROUND was published was amazing!) The author, Mary Hoffman, is the author of the well-reviewed _Amazing Grace_, _Boundless Grace, and _Princess Grace_.
Shannon’s text is delivered in spare, rhythmic, lilting verse that begins with one and counts up to 10 as it presents different groupings of things and people in individual families, always emphasizing the unitary nature of each combination. “One is six. One line of laundry. One butterfly’s legs. One family.” Gomez’s richly colored pictures clarify and expand on all that the text lists: For “six,” a picture showing six members of a multigenerational family of color includes a line of laundry with six items hanging from it outside of their windows, as well as the painting of a six-legged butterfly that a child in the family is creating. While text never directs the art to depict diverse individuals and family constellations, Gomez does just this in her illustrations. Interracial families are included, as are depictions of men with their arms around each other, and a Sikh man wearing a turban. This inclusive spirit supports the text’s culminating assertion that “One is one and everyone. One earth. One world. One family.”
This is a great non-fiction book to introduce the topic of families, particularly during a PSED or PSHE session around families. It is up to date, with a diverse range of family types such as children who just live with their daddy or families where there are two mummies and shows families of mixed races and families with members with disabilities. The book also looks at other aspects of family life such as housing, pets, celebrations and work through the eyes of a child. This book feels genuinely inclusive, with no situation being labelled better or worse than any other. This book covers all of that as well as economic status, housing situations, transport options, even pets. The illustrations are colourful and funny and completely engage any child, or adult who's reading this.
The Great Big Book of Families represents a lovely diverse mix of different types of families, reminding us that families come in all shapes and sizes, from single parent families to same sex couple parents, grandparents that live with us, extended families, blended families and many more. Mary Hoffman has written over 100 books for children. Amazing Grace, commended for the Kate Greenaway medal, and its sequels has sold over 1.5 million copies. As well as the successful Stravaganza sequence of teenage novels, translated into over thirty languages, The Great Big Books series of information books for younger readers, illustrated by Ros Asquith has done very well. The first, The Great Big Book of Families, won the inaugural SLA Information Book Award in the under 7s category. Categories: Acceptance & Inclusion, Adoption & Fostering, Being Different & Being Yourself, Divorce / Separation, Non-traditional FamiliesWhat is a family? Once, it was said to be a father, mother, boy, girl, cat and dog living in a house with a garden. But as times have changed, families have changed too, and now there are almost as many kinds of families as colours of the rainbow. The myriad of families depicted is the so called traditional heterosexual parents, gay and lesbian parents, single parents, families with one, many, or no children, blended families, multi-ethnical families, multi-race families, multi-generational families, adopted families, large families, and small families. It goes on to tell where some families live and how they live. The book ends with the question of questioning the reader about their family.
The difference in language might be a British/American edition thing. British English uses "fancy dress party" where American English uses "Costume party." Inexcusable either way.Miss 3 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

Valentines Day, although meant to be a celebration of love, can be one of the most dreaded times of the year. And if you are one of those people cursing Valentines Day this week, here are 5 things to do for yourself this Valentines Day to celebrate Self-love.
1) Book a massage, get a new haircut, get your nails done, get a new outfit, etc We all know how good we feel after a day spent in a spa. Treat yourself to some proper pampering. Can’t afford a trip to the spa? Stock up on some home pampering goods such as a DIY facial, luxurious bath bomb, and a bottle of bubbly. Not only will you feel refreshed and rejuvenated, but your body will also thank you for the de-stress!
2) Stay off social media and focus on something inspiring
Whether it’s Facebook, Instagram, or even Pinterest, there is no need to make yourself feel worse by seeing other people’s over-the-top proclamations of love on social media. Instead, start an inspiring novel such as The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin or watch a fun and heart-warming movie or documentary-like The Pursuit of Happyness.
3) Cook yourself an amazing meal, order in that treat, or dine at your favourite restaurant
Valentines Day loneliness doesn’t mean you should starve. Felt like pizza for ages but felt too guilty? Put that diet on the back burner for just a day and treat yourself to something delicious.
4) Do something you’ve been wanting to do for a long time
Been wanting to go see that movie, but been too busy or no one’s free? Been meaning to go for a run, re-organize your cupboards or put up that shelf? Doing something from your to-do list, that’s completely for yourself can make you feel accomplished and fulfilled, and the busyness of the activity will help keep your focus on the things that matter instead of the negative things roaming around in your head.
5) Surround yourself with friends and family
You don’t need a romantic partner to make you feel the love this Valentines day. Call your mom, gather your friends for a party or find a fun group or meet-up in something you’re interested in. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people will help to keep those feelings of looniness at bay, and most importantly, stop your monkey mind from trying to tell you all kinds of crazy un-truths. Whatever you do this Valentines Day, remember, you don’t have to wait for one day a year to show or receive love. Try to do one thing every day that is kind and loving to yourself!
Have any other ideas for Valentines Day?

Searching and finding your data has never been easier with Zeenea Explorer
- Feature Note
As a data consumer, you likely experienced the frustration of not being able to find the information you needed for a specific report or use case. Either you couldn’t locate the data because it was scattered in various sources, files, or spreadsheets, or maybe you were confronted with an overwhelming amount of information that you didn’t even know how to begin your search.
To respond to these common challenges, Zeenea developed a dedicated application for data and business teams to easily search for, find, discover, and explore their enterprise data assets: Zeenea Explorer. In this feature note, discover how Zeenea Explorer is the fastest and most efficient way for your teams to find the information they need!
How does searching work in Zeenea?
Similar to how you would search for an article or product on Google, data teams are provided with a smart search engine to search for their enterprise data assets.
Zeenea Explorer – Homepage – © 2023
Zeenea automatically indexes and updates all your enterprise metadata from your various sources. However, as mentioned in our eBook The Five Technological Breakthroughs of a next-generation Data Catalog, Zeenea decided from the get-go that a simple indexation system would prove limited and would fall short of providing the most relevant results for the users. We therefore chose to turn our search capabilities into a powerful innovation zone.
So, we integrated at the core of our platform:
- Standard, flat, indexation of all the attributes of an object (name, description, and properties) weighing it up in accordance with the type of property,
- A Natural Language Processing layer that takes into account typing or spelling errors,
- A semantic analysis layer that relies on the processing of the knowledge graph,
- A personalization layer that relies on user classification according to their uses, and will in the future be enriched by individual profiling.
Searching for an asset in Zeenea Explorer
With that said, for business consumers to easily find the information they need, all they have to do is type in the search engine a keyword or phrase and Zeenea Explorer will retrieve it!
In addition, for even quicker exploration and discovery, the results page will highlight all of the areas in which the keyword appears, whether it is in the asset’s title, description, etc.
Refine your search results through a smart filtering system
Zeenea Explorer offers a smart filtering system to contextualize your results. Use Zeenea’s preconfigured filters such as by item type, connection, contact, or by your organization’s own custom filters. Select any of these options, or combine them, and your results will update instantly to more focused results in the Active Filters section. Click on the small “x” button to remove a filter at any time.
If you are browsing by Topic (see details below), our catalog enables you to view the filters that are used in the Topic for you to better understand its context, and to inspire your next searches.
What if I don’t know what I’m looking for?
It can be overwhelming to search through hundreds and thousands of data assets in the catalog. To avoid drowning in an ocean of information, Zeenea has other ways to explore the data catalog.
In the above paragraph, we discussed how Zeenea provides a smart search engine for keyword searches (high-intent). But for people who don’t know what exactly they are looking for (low-intent), our platform provides other exploratory paths.
Browse by Topic
In Zeenea Studio, your stewards and curators can create Topics in the Catalog tab by simply selecting the filters that represent a specific theme, use case, or anything else that is relevant to your business.
Data & business teams on Zeenea Explorer can therefore quickly browse through the catalog by Topic via the homepage or via the search engine at the top of the catalog. Configured by your stewards, each Topic is distinguished by its own color, initials, and description for additional context.
Browse by Item Type
If you are sure of the type of data asset you are looking for, such as a dataset, visualization, data process, or custom asset, directly access the catalog with it pre-filtered with the type of asset you need.
For all pre-configured catalog items (Datasets, Visualizations, and Data Processes) the description is automatically included by Zeenea. For all Custom assets and categories, the description is to be documented by your stewards – the same as for Topics.
Browse through the Business Glossary
Quickly navigate through your enterprise’s Business Glossary by directly accessing the Glossary assets that were defined or imported by your stewards in Zeenea Studio. Clicking on the Glossary Item Type will take you to the list of definitions under that Glossary category to easily find the definitions you need for your use cases. Again, you will be presented with a description of the Glossary Item just like the other exploration paths.

The life of John Wright, the Chicago jazz pianist they call “South Side Soul”
A1 South Side Soul (Esmond Edwards) 04:59 A2 47th And Calumet (John Wright) 08:52 A3 La Salle St After Hours (Armond Jackson) 14:12 A4 63rd And Cottage Grove (John Wright) 18:17 B1 35th St Blues (Wendell Roberts) 25:10 B2 Sin Corner (Armond Jackson) 30:39 B3 Amen Corner (Wendell Roberts)
Chicago jazz pianist John Wright earned his reputation with a string of LPs for the Prestige label in the early 60s—his 1960 debut made such an impression that its title, South Side Soul, remains his nickname to this day. His discography has been sparse since then, but he’s never stopped playing for long, and he’s just had an especially eventful week.
On Friday, August 29, Wright spoke at the ceremony to formally designate the 3800 block of South Prairie “Dinah Washington Way,” reminiscing about his interactions with the great singer in the 1950s. Two days later, he hosted the 28th annual (and possibly final) Wright Gathering, a potluck picnic in the park behind his home in south-suburban Matteson where hundreds of friends, family, and fans enjoyed eight hours of jazz jams, the first three sets led by Wright himself. (He turned 80 on September 7, so it doubled as an early birthday party.)
And on Tuesday, August 26, Wright helped kick off the Chicago Jazz Festival with a show at PianoForte Studios. You wouldn’t have known it to watch him in play in the park less than a week later, but the PianoForte show was his first public concert in three years—he’s been recovering from a series of heart surgeries. That virtuoso performance ended with Wright, who lost his eyesight in 2004, being led from the piano in tears.
I attended the show and the picnic, and between the two Wright invited me into his living room for an interview. For several mesmerizing hours, he recounted his six-decade journey in jazz, which snaked its way through triumph, trouble, addiction, and redemption, with stops at army bases, prison libraries, and the byways of Chicago’s political-patronage system.
In the home Wright shares with his fourth wife, Jean, every wall is covered with pictures and clippings. Some of them depict his musical heroes and colleagues, but many are photos of his parents, siblings, and descendants—Wright has 11 children, 33 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, and ten great-great-grandchildren. Despite his blindness, when Wright tells a story, he can point directly at the photos that illustrate it.
Wright was born in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1934, and his family came to Chicago in 1936. His father became a stockyard worker, and his evangelist mother opened a Pentecostal church on West Roosevelt; in the early 1940s, the family moved to the south side. (Wright later learned that his father’s real last name was Washington, and that for decades he’d been a fugitive from a chain gang. “He told us that he’d killed 13 peckerwoods and one black,” says Wright. “And the only thing we asked him was, ‘Was it justified?’ He said yes.”)
By age three Wright was picking out melodies on the piano, and by seven he was playing in his mother’s church. His siblings studied piano formally, but as Wright remembers it, their instructor refused to give him lessons, telling the family they’d be wasting their money. “Whatever we play, he plays equally as well,” the teacher said. “He’s not reading music, he’s not using the right fingers, but he has God’s gift . . . he can play everything he hears.”
At age 12, Wright fell under the spell of a neighborhood Baptist choir—its gospel music was far livelier than Pentecostal hymns. With his mother’s permission, he began playing piano for that congregation’s youth choir; after the organist was drafted, he became the church’s principal accompanist. Blues and jazz were banned in the Wright household, as were movies, checkers, cards, and records of any kind. But Wright characterizes his childhood as happy and full.
He played baseball and sneaked into Comiskey Park to watch games from atop the dugout (as an adult he’d be invited to sit in on the Comiskey organ), and he remembers having Boy Scout meetings in the same church where Thomas Dorsey was rehearsing his choir.
When Wright was 15, he heard jazz coming out of a tavern at 35th and Indiana called Smitty’s Corner. Each night he stood outside for hours, till eventually he worked up the nerve to borrow one of his brother’s suits, pencil on a mustache, and stroll in. “On intermission,” he recalls, “I went up to the piano and started playing something. I had an audience, but they knew I didn’t know what I was doing. They didn’t put me out, though. They told me to sit down and gave me a Coke.”
In the early 50s his jazz education took a more serious turn when he befriended Jody Christian, a classmate at Wendell Phillips High School, and started going to jam sessions with him. “When I really heard it, and saw how musicians were treated,” Wright says, “I made a vow: I was going to play jazz, drink plenty of whiskey, and chase pretty women. I kept that vow, and it almost killed me.”
Though Wright was generous with his time during my visit, he couldn’t give me his undivided attention: his comeback show at PianoForte had been the night before, and every five minutes we were interrupted by congratulatory phone calls from supporters who’d seen it or listened to the live simulcast on WDCB.
The atmosphere was similar in PianoForte’s intimate theater (it’s upstairs from a South Loop piano shop) even before Wright played. He held court as a procession of old friends, fans, and musicians approached the stage to wish him well, reminisce about old gigs, and recall fallen comrades. During his loose, energetic set, his broad smile shined brighter than his loose-fitting white linen suit. At first he sounded hesitant, but the resonant sound of the theater’s $130,000 Fazioli clearly inspired him—soon he was pounding out percussion on the floor with his white loafers and improvising ornate flourishes or departures on old standards. Between songs he shared anecdotes about encounters with the likes of Dexter Gordon and Gene Ammons.
During his set Wright’s style shifted gears between sumptuous excess (the kind of thing you’d expect from someone who came of age when Liberace was the Justin Bieber of the day) and the soulful swing that comes naturally to a pianist who cut his teeth alongside the planet’s greatest blues and bop musicians. Whenever I asked anyone to describe Wright’s playing, the word “soul” always seemed to come up. “He has a lot of soul and drive,” offered guitarist George Freeman, younger brother of late tenor saxophonist Von. “He makes you feel the music. He don’t just play the piano; he makes it talk back.”
Attorney John Ladle is such a big fan that he works for the pianist pro bono, and he uses similar language to describe Wright’s appeal. “There’s so much soul,” he says. “He’s such a nice guy, and it just comes out when he plays.”
The Korean War broke out in 1950, and in ’52 Wright and eight friends decided to forgo their senior year of high school and enlist. Upon entering the army, to his surprise Wright was separated from his comrades, and they were all later killed in combat. He’d never told recruiters about his piano prowess, but he was shipped to Europe, where he was made part of Special Services, the military’s entertainment branch.
Wright was allowed to ditch his uniform, and he spent the next three years playing jazz for soldiers on R&R in Germany, London, and Italy. Though he knew few of the songs expected of him, he faked his way through—and by playing alongside stars such as Marshall Allen and Billy Mitchell of the Sun Ra Arkestra, Count Basie trombonist Frank Hooks, and Art Blakey arranger Tom McIntosh, he earned the real-world equivalent of a PhD in jazz. Wright fell for a German woman and planned to remain in Europe, but when his mother learned he’d impregnated a different girlfriend before leaving Chicago, she ordered him home, insisting that they marry.
Upon returning in 1955, Wright fell easily into Chicago’s jazz scene, where the C&C Lounge, the Grand Ballroom, McKie’s Disc Jockey Show Lounge, and countless other happening spots flourished. He was alternating between bass and piano at the time, and soon found himself playing nine-hour sets for union scale (often less than $10). But Wright’s versatility and talent didn’t go unnoticed, and he landed a full-time gig at the Randolph Rendezvous with Jelly Holt’s Four Whims, entertaining white downtown conventioneers and earning hundreds of dollars a night in tips. In 1960 a scout from New York label Prestige Records gave Wright a plane ticket, and soon he was playing a Steinway grand for the first time in Rudy Van Gelder’s famous private studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. Working with bassist Wendell Roberts and drummer Walter McCants (the first of several lineups called the John Wright Trio), in a single day he improvised an album’s worth of grooving tunes based in 12-bar blues. Wright had officially become a recording artist, and South Side Soul was the first of five soul-jazz LPs he’d cut between 1960 and ’62.
When I first saw the South Side Soul LP, my reaction was skepticism. The cover art is so intriguing and aesthetically perfect that it looks like a fictional record, maybe dreamed up by a gifted prop designer for a movie. The sepia-tinted black-and-white photo, the eye-grabbing design, even the fact that the album is called South Side Soul, with song titles referencing hot spots such as “63rd and Cottage Grove” or “45th and Calumet”—everything contributes to this too-good-to-be-true vibe. Most of all, it comes from Wright’s face. Handsome, youthful, and rugged, he’s shown in profile with an impressive “conk” hairstyle (his half-Irish mother gifted him “good hair”). His eyes have the weariness of a man twice his age, and his furrowed brow mars the calm, sculptural beauty of his features. The cover seems disconcertingly perfect even after you put the LP on your turntable, making it impossible to deny that you’re dealing with a real album—an album that swaggers hard. The stellar cuts on South Side Soul were no fluke, either: Wright would scale those heights again, notably on the title track of 1961’s Makin’ Out and “Strut” from 1962’s Mr. Soul.
“They had big plans for me,” Wright says, remembering his years with Prestige. “They gave Miles $100,000. They bought Jack McDuff a $40,000 house. But my choice of getting high was whiskey, and that was my downfall.”
he ceremony for Dinah Washington Way could’ve provided Wright with an opportunity to revisit his glory days, but he seems less nostalgic than many of his peers. His speech was less a tribute to Washington’s legacy and more a salute to the event’s host, his friend Al Carter-Bey, a longtime jazz DJ at WHPK who’d spearheaded the renaming effort. “He spoke briefly about knowing Dinah,” says Carter-Bey, “but also about how much hard work and patience it took for me to get this done. John is a great guy, and when he believes in someone or something he has real, deep feelings.”
During all my correspondence with Wright, he’s taken pains to express his appreciation for WHPK, the College of DuPage’s WDCB, the Hyde Park Jazz Society, and the Jazz Institute (which awarded him its Walter Dyett Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009). These institutions certainly honor the past triumphs of jazz, but Wright admires their forward-looking work as well—he’s as excited about what’s happening today as he is about what happened in his heyday.
That spirit animated this year’s Wright Gathering, which celebrated the pianist’s decades of generous collaborations with musicians young and old. At first glance it could’ve been one of the many massive family get-togethers that fill south-side parks each summer weekend; in fact, one dozens-strong faction of Wright’s kin was in full reunion mode, wearing matching “Kemp Family Cook Out” T-shirts. The sizzle of barbecue grills accompanied the percussive slaps of dominos on picnic tables; kids climbed jungle gyms and swam in the Wrights’ backyard pool; and children and grandchildren doted on elders who relaxed in comfortable folding chairs. The potluck table overflowed with soul food, baked goods, and homemade side dishes, and it always had a long line.
What distinguished the Wright Gathering from similar reunions was the thrilling pickup band parked under the picnic pavilion, which Wright anchored for its first few sets. The band’s constantly shifting cast of drummers, guitarists, bassists, brass players, vibraphonists, and vocalists presented jazz as (almost literally) a big tent. Seasoned veterans, youthful newbies, professional jobbers, enthusiastic amateurs, free-jazz explorers, and cocktail-music practitioners could sign up to sit in—all they had to do was ask the emcee, Wright’s granddaughter Lavon Pettis.
Sometimes the magic was purely musical—George Freeman’s guitar bouncing off Yoko Noge’s keyboards and vocals in improvisational flights, for instance—but often the most memorable moments owed their power to Wright’s generous spirit. A teenage trumpeter who hadn’t quite memorized “Girl From Ipanema” (a friend had to hold up sheet music) delayed the proceedings briefly as the band debated letting him play alone rather than possibly confusing him with swinging accompaniment. Wright insisted they work something out, though, and after some logistical maneuvers, the young man was trading solos with jazz journeymen.
Also sitting in was 90-year-old mouth harpist and Battle of the Bulge survivor Cliff Barnett, the last living member of the Harmonica Rascals (they were popular guests on Ed Sullivan’s TV show in the 1950s, thanks to the comic antics of dwarf harpist Johnny Puleo). Barnett has been playing with Wright for six decades, and flew in from Florida to attend—he hasn’t missed a single one of the 28 Wright Gatherings.
“I have no brothers and sisters,” Barnett says, “so I can’t tell you what this one afternoon a year means to me. There is nothing as important as lifelong friendships and lifelong memories.”
Memory comes up frequently when people talk about Wright. “John could be trusted,” recalls Johnny Ramsey, a retired Eighth Ward precinct captain who worked with the pianist in the late 60s under future Cook County Board president John Stroger. “You know what they say—once you tell the truth, you don’t need a good memory.”
That said, in some respects Wright has an incredible memory. He can recall the street address of every home he’s ever lived in, plus many of the phone numbers. Still, despite being told as a child that he had perfect pitch, he shied away from singing because he couldn’t remember lyrics; he also claims he could never learn to read music. Perhaps these mental blocks have some connection to his natural genius—R. Kelly relates his ability to think in music to his dyslexia. Wright can also rattle off the names of 14 different hospitals where he stayed in the late 70s, when his copious consumption of whiskey (as well as rubbing alcohol, Sterno, and anything else that did the job) caused his body to break down.
By the mid-60s, Wright’s whiskey-induced misbehavior had gotten him dropped from Prestige and all but blacklisted from touring, but he could still find solid work at home—he soon started playing with the well-paid group led by vocalist Oscar Lindsay. He didn’t pull his personal life together, though, until he entered Alcoholics Anonymous in 1980. He was still doing seasonal precinct work, and he’d capitalized on his popularity to become a comfortable cog in the Daley machine; he even got to dole out some patronage positions, and in the mid-80s found a job for himself as a librarian in the Cook County prison system, a position he held till his retirement in 1999. In the mid-80s his long-running gig with Lindsay morphed into an even longer residency at Philander’s restaurant in Oak Park, which finally ended in 2009. And in 1986, after outliving two spouses, he married his third wife, Evelyn. Around this time he began inviting his many musician friends to join him on the last weekend in August to celebrate his birthday with a jazz jam.
Wright claims this was the last Wright Gathering, though according to my survey of longtime attendees, he’s said that at least three times already. The gathering used to be held in the Wright home, and Evelyn would spend an entire year cooking and freezing food for the guests. After her death in 2007, Wright decided to end the tradition, but his friends rallied and volunteered to do the organizing, helping it grow into the park-filling event it is today. Since Evelyn’s death Wright has had his ups (six years ago he married his fourth wife, Jean) and downs (the heart problems that kept him from performing for three years required several operations, which his doctors didn’t expect him to survive). But in contrast to his younger self, who rebelled against forced churchgoing, Wright is now a man of deep faith, constantly counting his blessings.
His gratitude for the life he’s lived meant that there was no melancholy cloud hanging over what might very well have been the final Wright Gathering. Wearing a “2007 Wright Gathering” T-shirt, he spent hours behind a Roland RD-700SX keyboard, maintaining his stamina and enthusiasm as well as a broad, natural smile. “He looks so happy,” I overheard Pettis say to no one in particular. The birthday boy seemed filled with nothing but joy, a jazzy counterpoint to the emotional roller coaster of his PianoForte comeback concert.
At that show Wright surprised himself and the audience by breaking down at the piano, audibly sobbing while playing “For All We Know,” a standard that Dinah Washington helped make famous. After he finished the song and the applause died down, he spoke quietly into his microphone. “We never know,” he said, “tomorrow may never come.” Wright then ended his set early, inviting pianist Miguel de la Cerna to finish the hour. Wright stayed onstage, sitting near the piano; at first he rubbed his hands, working out cramps brought on by his long hiatus, and then he began miming along with de la Cerna’s playing. Jean approached him with a handkerchief, and as she removed his dark glasses to dab his eyes dry, the tears that had pooled behind their lenses rolled down the deep lines on his face.
The next day I asked Wright what had been going through his mind. “I forgot for a moment where I was,” he explained, choking up again in the recollection. “I became overcome with grief, but it wasn’t just grief, it was also gratitude—all these people who had come out to see me . . . I just feel so much love, and so blessed after what I’ve been through the last few years.”
Wright wiped away his tears and apologized. “There’s a hymn, ‘All’s Well With My Soul.’ I was surprised to find myself playing it in the middle of the set yesterday. But it’s true. All is well with my soul.”
