Bowl attendance continues to fall across major college football, raising questions about the number of postseason games, the overall amount of fan interest in postseason play and the ways that schools and games market and sell tickets.
Through the first 19 games of the postseason, attendance is down an average of 3,138 fans per game from the 2011-12 bowl slate, according to a USA TODAY Sports analysis. Only three bowl games have drawn 5,000 or more fans than a year ago; six games have drawn 5,000 or fewer, including three, the Meineke Car Care, Belk and Little Caesars Bowl, that drew at least 18,000 fewer fans compared to last season.
USA TODAY Sports has tracked bowl attendance since 2004-05, and average attendance has declined each year since 2008-09. At an announced 17,835, Thursday’s Military Bowl at RFK Stadium in Washington was the lowest attended bowl game since USA TODAY Sports has tracked attendance.
Economic pressures are the primary reason behind declining fan attendance during bowl play, said Paul Swangard, the managing director of the University of Oregon’s Warsaw Sports Marketing Center. Beyond the economics of being able to buy tickets and travel to games, however, Swangard says “alarm bells” should be ringing for many postseason games.
“I think for a lot of the major conferences, the teams are all playing a 13th game whether they’re good or not,” Swangard said. “Those fan bases that have been sort of the dedicated nomads that would always follow are probably speaking with their pocketbook – ‘I’m not willing to travel every year.’ And some of those teams have to rely on the same fans to go year-in and year-out.”.
The growth in the number of bowl games, now up to 35, can create postseason overload for some fan bases, especially those which were hoping for a different bowl berth – like Oregon, which was ranked No. 1 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll in November but fell to the Fiesta Bowl after a loss to Stanford.
“It’s fun to say that you’ve been to these games,” Swangard said, “but I think as more and more fans have gone through that experience, they realize to have the kind of premium experience they would want to have at some of these games, they’d have to pony up.”.
Not even elite football programs – including those headed to BCS bowls – are immune from the struggles of selling bowl tickets. Florida, which meets Louisville in the Sugar Bowl, has sold less than 8,000 of its 17,500-ticket allotment. Nebraska has sold less than one-third of its 12,500-ticket allotment to the Capital One Bowl, according to the Associated Press.
Rather than go through a university, many fans are using online brokers to purchase bowl tickets below retail price. For Florida, the fact that fans may be using other avenues to purchase Sugar Bowl tickets could prevent the school from reaching its allotment goals and cost the university as much as $1 million.
“What it suggests is that the bowls and the schools are going to have to revisit the method of ticket allocation, particularly in those bowl games where the market demand just can’t seem to sustain the model,” Swangard said. “And I think that’ll be an interesting conversation in parallel to the shift from the BCS to the four-team championship in the next year and half.”. | <urn:uuid:49d3b892-e1ff-4a9f-a157-73af7a088244> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://3ccmasters.com/college-football-bowl-game-attendance-continues-slide/ | 2024-04-13T22:20:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.973974 | 746 |
Proto Labs Inc. (NYSE:PRLB), the 3D printing on-demand manufacturer, released financial results for the second quarter of 2016 on Thursday morning. Despite increasing revenue the company failed to met earnings targets. As a result the value of shares in the company dropped by 17% in early trading on the NYSE. There was a slight recovery and the share price was down 13% by close, trading at $53.29, $2.79 above the 52 week low.
During Thursday mornings earnings call with investors and analysts Proto Labs President and CEO, Vicki Holt announced the company had missed EPS targets by a penny. Yet the $75 million headline revenue figure n represents a 17% increase on the previous year and is a record for the company. However expenses have increased at a higher rate leading to a decrease in net profits. The direct costs of manufacturing components for customers increased by 24% to $32.7m while operating costs increased by 36% to $27.3m. John A. Way, CFO, explained that operating costs included, “$873,000 related to the exit of our metal and magnesium injection molding operations” as a non-recurring expense. Holt addressed this area and said the coming months will see measures to improve, “Sales performance and efficiency through our operations.”
Million dollar savings
Proto Labs place “Product developers at the center of our universe,” said Holt. Translating this to sales involves an element of customer education. The Proto Labs business model is not about simply making components rapidly but is based upon strategic consultation. The sales process involves communicating to potential users how the “differentiated digital business model help them solve problems.” Holt says Proto Labs cuts the time to market and “can save millions of dollars in R&D and get [customers] to revenue faster.”
Excluding customers who purchased Alphaform products, Proto Labs report that 20,240 (17,194 H2 2015) product developers and engineers were served in the 6-month period ending June 30 2016. This is an increase of 3,046 or 18% on the previous year. Growth in customer numbers by quarter shows a lower figure of 14% when Q2 of 2016 is compared to 2015. The reported growth in customer base, albeit at a slower rate, is still encouraging. This indicates that although economic conditions may be unfavorable, enterprises see value in the services provided by Proto Labs. Analysis of this data shows that total revenue per customer has also increased marginally. For the most recent quarter the average Proto Labs customer spent $5,545 compared with $5,411 in the comparative period, an increase of 2%. Using net income to perform the analysis gives a figure of $790 per customer, a 20% decrease on prior period reports.
“The decline in revenue per product developer is reflective of the mix of our business with strong growth in 3D printing and lower growth in our injection molding and CNC machining businesses,” said CFO Way. 3D Printing revenue increased by 67% or $3.6m to $9.1m when compared the same quarter in 2015. The value of 3D printing sales grew, and continues to grow, by approximately $400k every 3 months. This growth was achieved despite the fact the company relocated its DMLS and SLS 3D printers to a new facility. Stereolithography manufacturing is in the process of moving and no disruption to services is anticipated.
Fundamentals remain unchanged
3D Printing makes up 12% of Proto Labs’ revenue in the most recent quarter, a 4% year on year increase. Injection molding accounts for 60% and CNC 26%, the remaining few percent of sales are categorized as ‘other’. The increases in expenses are attributed partly to the lower profit margin on the 3D printing business. While the gross profit margin on injection molding and CNC milling are slightly above 60%, this figure is approximately 50% for the 3D printing business explained the CFO. Holt said that 3D printing revenue is expected to grow and will make up, ”around 15% of our sales as it gets to more of an equilibrium.”
With sales failing to keep pace with rising expenses Proto Labs reported a year on year decrease in net income of $995k. Total net income for the quarter was $10.7m. “The lower year-over-year growth was a reflection of a difficult economic environment, as well as some disruption to our sales team in the U.S,” explained Holt. The company, “expect to see improvement in sales growth, especially in the Americas, over time. We remain confident in the fundamentals in our business – our market size, differentiated proposition and excellent customer experience.”
Analysis of revenue by geographic market share indicates a decrease in the U.S. market. In the most recent quarter Proto Labs domestic revenue accounted for 69% of the total figure, versus 77% for the comparative period. This decrease was offset by a 7% increase in the share of revenue generated in Europe where the company reported total revenue of $17.2m ($10.1m Q2 2015). In Japan, Proto Labs increased sales for the quarter by $745k to $2.36m ($1.61m Q2 2015). Holt said, “We are also beginning to see traction from our expanded sales and marketing efforts of 3D printing in Europe and anticipate this business will continue to grow throughout the year.”
3D printing job opportunities
Data from the Economist’s poll of forecasters suggests that U.S. GDP growth for 2016 will be 1.8% with a 2% growth in the following year. For the Euro area the forecasts are 1.5% current year GDP growth and 1.2% for 2017. However, these may not be the best way to assess future earnings for Proto Labs, “It’s difficult to identify a single economic indicator, which consistently and clearly tracks the fluctuation in our revenue growth,” said Holt. Pointing to one measure by which the health the economy is measured Holt said, “Consumption of cutting tools, an indicator of utilization of U.S. machining shops, has declined 9% through May 2016 compared to the prior year.” Cutting tools are a consumable item used in manufacturing and a decrease in the figure points to a weaker environment.
Commenting on the impact of Britain’s decision to leave the European Union the CFO said, “we feel the potential impact will be partially mitigated due to the manufacturing presence established in Germany as a result of the Alphaform acquisition.”
For readers searching for work, Proto Labs are currently in the process of recruiting a Chief Revenue Officer and additional Sales Managers. “We offer robust and valuable business solutions to our customers. Our technology, scale and business model are differentiated, compelling, and have significant barriers to entry,” said Holt.
Looking to the future, Proto Labs,“Expect Q3 revenue to be in the range of $73 million to $78 million representing revenue growth of 7.5% to 15% over the prior year” said CFO Way. | <urn:uuid:00ecb201-eece-4e25-85bd-b033b26172fb> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://3dprintingindustry.com/news/proto-labs-report-q2-results-3d-printing-revenue-29-90389/ | 2024-04-13T22:56:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.958855 | 1,504 |

It’s no use building a massive shop with great products in the middle of the desert and not telling anyone about it.
In today’s world, no website marketing means no visitors which in turn leads to very low (if any) sales.
The website browsers and Google searchers out there want to know 1 thing and 1 thing only: “How will this benefit me?” If you can show them, through your online marketing efforts and strategies what it is that they need, they’ll gladly come back for more.
In this series of posts, I’ll be giving you tips on how to improve your website SEO & get more visitors from Google.
So let’s get you what you want and share the first tip to help you rank your website by improving your SEO.
First things first
Let’s take it from the start, shall we?
The first thing that any website browser will see after entering their search term and clicking ‘search’ is all the various options that Google spits out.
Let’s assume you take all my advice and fall amongst the top 3 options for that specific search term… Great. The visitor clicks on your website link and your site opens up and starts loading…
Loading speed: 1 Second = Awesome
Loading speed: 2 Seconds = Very Good
Loading speed: 3 Seconds = Good
Loading speed: 4 Seconds = WTF? Something is wrong! I’m going back to the search results (and btw I’ve had a ‘bad’ experience so I’m not returning to this site again or recommending it to anyone…)
Loading speed: 5 Seconds = You kidding me?
So that’s it – You have 3 seconds in which your site should load and open up otherwise you stand a chance of losing anything from 40% of your website visitors according to Quicksprout. Shocked?
Well according to the stats 80% of the visitors who had a ‘this-site-is-too- slow’ experience will NEVER return.
And it’s not just your visitors that will punish you
Google will rank you lower the slower your site is. They love giving their visitors a good experience. So in short just remember this slow speed = low ranking.
Google’s algorithm recognizes your website’s popularity and awards you accordingly by lifting you higher on their search rankings until you’re so good that you’re on top.
It is important to make sure that your website’s page speed and server response times are optimal.
Keep what you get
If you can keep the traffic that you get to your site and your visitors stay on your website pages for more than the mentioned times above your chances are much bigger of getting ranked higher (if you have a good SEO strategy in place that is).
From this it follows that Google will recognize that people like coming to your site and award you with a higher position over time.
Improve your website SEO by improving your page speed
To see/ test this you can use the following tools. I usually make use of 2 or 3 to get a better idea and iron out every possible issue there might be that can influence my speed.
Here are some tools you can use:

Former St. Landry Parish President Don Menard Facing Ethics Penalties
The Louisiana Board of Ethics has found former St. Landry Parish President Donald R. "Don" Menard failed to file three campaign finance reports as required by law. As a result, he could be facing civil penalties of up to $10,000 for each violation.
Menard unsuccessfully ran for Parish President in St. Landry Parish in the November 6, 2019 general election. According to court records, the ethics board held a meeting to determine if Menard failed to file campaign finance disclosure reports for the primary election on October 12, 2019 along with the general election.
Don Menard served as St. Landry Parish President from 2004 through 2012. He was one of three candidates vying to replace former Parish President Bill Fontenot in last year's election.
While Menard was defeated in the primary election, he was still required to file a campaign finance disclosure report 30 days before the primary and another report 10 days before the primary.
He was also required to file a third campaign disclosure report on November 6, 2019.
The record also shows that Menard failed to appear for the ethic's board's hearing despite being sent a notice.
In the hearing, the ethics board determined that Menard failed to file all three reports. They noted that he still had yet to file the reports as of October 5, 2020.
While it is not known yet what the exact penalties will be, the ethics board could impose civil penalties of up to $10,000 for each of the three late reports, totaling $30,000.

Careful hydrogenolysis of organometallic compounds with group VIII metallic surfaces lead to surface organometallic fragments directly grafted on the metallic particles with well-defined structures. The presence of such surface organometallic fragments was demonstrated by various physical and chemical techniques (EXAFS, magnetic measurements, IR spectroscopy, Mössbauer, thermoreduction, etc.). Surface organometallic complexes with an average formula Ms[M′Rx]y (M: Rh, Pt, Ni; M′: Sn, Ge, Si, Se; R: Me, Et, Bu) were proposed. It was recently demonstrated that organometallic fragments with functional groups can also be grafted on a platinum or rhodium surface. In this work, we demonstrate that organo-tin fragments with functional groups, grafted on a silica-supported rhodium surface can strongly modify the regio-selectivity of the hydrogenation of unsaturated primary alcohols. The rate of hydrogenation of trans-2-hexenol and 5-hexenol was determined at room temperature under 20 bar of hydrogen in heptane solution for Rh/SiO2 catalysts which were either used as they were or were modified with Bu3Sn(CH2)3OH or Bu2Sn[(CH2)2 (O(CH2)2)2OMe]2. The rate of hydrogenation of the terminal double bond is slightly modified by the presence of functional groups, while that of the internal unsaturation decreases by a factor of 4. These results are explained by the formation of a hydrophilic layer around the metallic particle which inhibits the adsorption of the unsaturated alcohol by its internal double bond.

Have you ever wondered how many Contract Research Organizations (CROs) are operating in India?
Well, the CRO industry in India has been experiencing significant growth over the years, attracting both domestic and international players.
With its rich pool of scientific talent, cost-effectiveness, and supportive regulatory environment, India has become a preferred destination for outsourcing clinical trials and other research activities.
But just how many CROs are there in India?
Stay tuned as we explore the current landscape, the driving factors behind this boom, and the challenges faced by CROs in India.
You won’t want to miss it!
Growth of CRO Industry in India
The CRO industry in India has experienced significant growth in recent years. The outsourcing trend has played a major role in this growth, as more and more companies are looking to outsource their clinical research activities to reduce costs and increase efficiency. This trend has had a positive impact on the Indian economy, creating job opportunities and boosting the country’s GDP.
The outsourcing of clinical research activities to India has led to the establishment of numerous CROs in the country. These CROs provide a wide range of services, including clinical trial management, data management, and regulatory affairs. They employ a large number of highly skilled professionals, including doctors, researchers, and data analysts. This not only creates employment opportunities for the Indian workforce but also contributes to the overall development of the healthcare sector in the country.
Furthermore, the growth of the CRO industry has had a significant impact on the Indian economy. It has attracted foreign investments, leading to the inflow of capital and the development of state-of-the-art infrastructure. This has further enhanced India’s reputation as a global destination for clinical research outsourcing.
Factors Driving the CRO Boom in India
Several key factors have contributed to the booming growth of the CRO industry in India.
One of the main factors influencing the CRO market share in India is the country’s cost advantage. Indian CROs offer competitive pricing compared to their counterparts in developed countries, making them an attractive option for global pharmaceutical and biotech companies looking to reduce costs without compromising on quality.
Another factor driving the CRO boom in India is the country’s large pool of skilled and educated professionals. India has a strong base of scientists, researchers, and healthcare professionals who are well-versed in clinical research and drug development. This talent pool ensures that Indian CROs can deliver high-quality services and meet international standards.
The regulatory environment in India has also played a significant role in the growth of the CRO industry. The Indian government has implemented favorable policies to encourage clinical research and drug development in the country. This has led to a streamlined approval process and easier access to patient populations, further attracting global pharmaceutical companies to conduct their clinical trials in India.
In addition, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and the rising demand for affordable healthcare solutions have further fueled the growth of the CRO industry in India. As the demand for new drugs and therapies continues to rise, CROs in India are well-positioned to meet these needs and drive further growth in the industry.
Current Landscape of CROs in India
With a rapidly growing number of CROs, India has become a hub for clinical research and drug development. The current market size of the CRO industry in India is estimated to be around $1.2 billion and is projected to reach $3 billion by 2025. This impressive growth can be attributed to several factors such as the availability of a vast patient pool, a skilled workforce, and cost advantages compared to other countries.
In this thriving landscape, there are several major players who dominate the CRO market in India. QuintilesIMS, now known as IQVIA, is one of the largest CROs operating in the country. They offer a wide range of services including clinical trial management, data management, and regulatory affairs.
Another key player is Syngene International, which is a subsidiary of Biocon Limited. Syngene specializes in providing integrated discovery and development services to pharmaceutical companies.
Other prominent players in the Indian CRO industry include Jubilant Biosys, GVK Biosciences, and Siro Clinpharm. These companies offer a comprehensive range of services from preclinical research to post-marketing studies.
Challenges Faced by CROs in India
Navigating the Indian CRO industry poses unique challenges for companies operating in this sector. Two major challenges faced by CROs in India are regulatory hurdles and talent shortage.
Firstly, regulatory hurdles can be a major obstacle for CROs in India. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals for clinical trials can be complex and time-consuming. The regulatory framework in India is constantly evolving, with frequent changes in guidelines and requirements. This can lead to delays and uncertainties, making it difficult for CROs to plan and execute their projects efficiently.
Secondly, there’s a talent shortage in the Indian CRO industry. Despite the growing demand for skilled professionals in clinical research, there’s a limited pool of qualified and experienced personnel available. This shortage of talent can hamper the growth and productivity of CROs in India. It may also lead to increased competition for skilled professionals, driving up labor costs.
Future Outlook for CROs in India
To prepare for the future, CROs operating in India must adapt to the evolving regulatory landscape and address the ongoing talent shortage in the industry.
Regulations for CROs in India are constantly changing, with the government implementing stricter guidelines to ensure patient safety and data integrity. CROs need to stay updated with these regulations and invest in compliance measures to maintain their competitive edge.
Furthermore, emerging technologies in the CRO industry are revolutionizing clinical trials and data management. CROs in India should embrace these technologies to enhance efficiency, improve data quality, and reduce costs. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data analytics have the potential to streamline processes, identify trends, and support decision-making in clinical research.
To overcome the talent shortage, CROs need to invest in talent development programs and collaborate with academic institutions to train and nurture skilled professionals. Building a strong talent pipeline will ensure that CROs have access to the expertise needed to meet the increasing demands of the industry.

3) What Are CRO Services?
Have you ever wondered how some websites manage to convert their visitors into loyal customers? Take, for example, an e-commerce store that saw a significant increase in sales after implementing certain changes to its website.
You might be surprised to learn that this transformation was made possible through the help of Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) services. But what exactly are CRO services and how can they benefit your business?
In this discussion, we will explore the ins and outs of CRO services, including their importance, how they boost conversions, and the key components to look for when choosing a provider.
Get ready to discover the secrets behind turning your website visitors into paying customers.
Understanding CRO: What Is It?
If you’ve ever wondered what CRO is and how it can benefit your business, look no further. Understanding CRO, also known as Conversion Rate Optimization, is crucial for the success of your online business. CRO is the process of improving your website or landing page to increase the percentage of visitors who convert into customers or take a desired action.
So, why is understanding CRO important? Well, CRO helps you optimize your website to maximize its effectiveness and convert more visitors into customers. By analyzing user behavior, conducting A/B tests, and making data-driven changes, you can enhance the user experience and increase conversions. This means more sales, more leads, and ultimately, more revenue for your business.
Now, let’s talk about the benefits of CRO services. First and foremost, CRO services can significantly improve your return on investment (ROI). By optimizing your website, you can reduce the cost per acquisition and increase the value of each customer. Additionally, CRO services can enhance the user experience, leading to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Moreover, CRO allows you to stay ahead of your competition by continuously improving your website based on user feedback and market trends.
The Importance of CRO Services
CRO services play a crucial role in maximizing your website’s potential and driving business growth. By optimizing your website and improving its conversion rate, CRO services can significantly benefit your business.
There are several key benefits of CRO services that make them essential for any online business.
Firstly, CRO services help you increase your website’s conversion rate. This means that more of your website visitors will take the desired actions, such as making a purchase or signing up for a newsletter. By optimizing your website’s design, layout, and content, CRO services can improve the overall user experience and make it easier for visitors to convert.
Secondly, CRO services enable you to measure and track the success of your conversion rate optimization efforts. Through various analytical tools and techniques, CRO services provide valuable insights into how users interact with your website. This data allows you to make data-driven decisions and continuously improve your website’s performance.
Ultimately, investing in CRO services can lead to higher conversion rates, increased sales, and improved customer satisfaction. By optimizing your website and measuring the success of your efforts, you can ensure that you’re making the most of your online presence and driving business growth.
How CRO Services Boost Conversions
CRO services have the power to significantly increase conversion rates on your website. By optimizing landing pages and increasing website traffic, CRO services can help you achieve higher conversion rates and ultimately drive more revenue for your business.
One way CRO services boost conversions is by optimizing landing pages. A well-designed and user-friendly landing page can effectively capture your visitors’ attention and guide them towards taking the desired action, whether it’s making a purchase, subscribing to a newsletter, or filling out a contact form. CRO experts can analyze your landing pages and make data-driven improvements to enhance their performance and increase conversions.
In addition to optimizing landing pages, CRO services can also help you increase website traffic. By conducting thorough audience research and implementing targeted marketing strategies, CRO experts can attract more qualified visitors to your site. This means that the people who land on your website are more likely to be interested in your products or services, increasing the likelihood of conversion.
Key Components of CRO Services
One important aspect of CRO services is understanding the key components that contribute to successful conversions on your website. Conversion rate optimization (CRO) strategies involve various elements that work together to improve the performance of your website and drive more conversions.
Firstly, effective CRO services begin with thorough research and analysis. This involves studying user behavior, identifying pain points and barriers to conversion, and analyzing data to uncover insights. By understanding your target audience and their needs, you can tailor your website to meet their expectations and increase the likelihood of conversions.
Secondly, compelling and persuasive content plays a crucial role in CRO. Engaging copy, clear calls-to-action, and persuasive messaging can guide users towards taking the desired action on your website. By crafting content that resonates with your audience and addresses their pain points, you can effectively communicate the value of your products or services and encourage conversions.
Thirdly, optimizing the user experience (UX) is essential for successful conversions. This includes ensuring your website is easy to navigate, mobile-friendly, and visually appealing. A seamless and intuitive user experience can reduce friction and increase user engagement, ultimately leading to higher conversion rates.
Choosing the Right CRO Service Provider
When selecting a CRO service provider, it’s crucial to carefully evaluate their expertise and track record in driving conversions for businesses like yours. Evaluating CRO service providers can be challenging, but considering a few key factors can help you make an informed decision.
First and foremost, look for a CRO service provider with a proven track record of success. Ask for case studies or examples of their previous work to assess their ability to deliver results. Additionally, consider their experience in your specific industry or niche. A provider who understands your target audience and market dynamics will be better equipped to optimize your conversions.

About the Project
Climate change-induced drought is drying up BC rivers, putting community water supplies at risk, endangering salmon populations, and damaging ecosystems that are culturally significant for First Nations and the broader community. Constructing or upgrading low dams or weirs at lake outlets allows more water to be stored during wetter seasons, providing a source of extra flow, and thereby a cost-effective way to improve drought resiliency that could be easily implemented in many watersheds.
However, regulating lake levels can have negative impacts to shorelines, which need to be considered during project planning and permitting. This is especially important for projects involving lakeshore property owners or sensitive riparian ecosystems.
Assessing shoreline erosion from significant changes in lake levels associated with large dams is well understood. However, estimating shoreline impacts for modest, and more nuanced, changes in lake levels within the natural range, has never been done before. At the same time, it is inappropriate to suggest that there would be no impacts. This leaves a significant gap, and a barrier to project implementation and to climate action.
To overcome this knowledge gap, KWL has developed a data-driven approach, the Shoreline Impacts Calculator for Changing Climates (SICCC). This tool estimates the change to the natural boundary (the line dividing the land from the lake) in response to modulations in the annual water level regime both from changes in storage, and also changes in climate. The value of this approach was recently demonstrated in the Cowichan Lake Shoreline Assessment Project completed for the Cowichan Valley Regional District with funding from the BC Salmon Restoration and Innovation Fund.
A lake’s natural boundary is legally significant, defining property rights, and generally recognizable, through vegetation growth, making it an ideal metric for assessing shoreline change. Since it is spatially variable and observationally-founded, it is typically established in the field rather than calculated. This poses a challenge for establishing a future natural boundary, which cannot be ‘observed’.
KWL’s SICCC approach for evaluating natural boundary change embraces the observational nature of the metric by pairing extensive field observations with advanced statistics and computational modelling.
The process has the following steps:
- At each shoreline segment, collect high quality physical data (water levels, wave energy, sediment size, beach slope, vegetation) and establish the existing natural boundary.
- Use these data to develop a statistically-based equation that predicts the natural boundary for any given shore segment based on its physical characteristics.
- Use computational models to project changes in physical characteristics around the lake for scenarios of regulation and future climate change.
- For each shoreline segment, use the projected characteristics and the predictive equation to estimate future natural boundary change.
- Use the change in the natural boundary elevation to quantify shoreline impacts.
The SICCC approach for estimating shoreline change supports challenging discussions of trade-offs related to changing water levels, and thus empowers decisions on climate related problems. SICCC was successfully applied to evaluate the impacts of raising the Cowichan Lake Weir. Results for each lakefront property were delivered through a GIS web-tool. Enabling each stakeholder to visualize the detailed shoreline changes, SICCC has removed a significant barrier to climate action for the community. | <urn:uuid:b2651f8c-494a-4493-9a70-8335763eac3f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://acecbcawards.com/2023-awards/2023-soft-engineering/shoreline-impacts-calculator-for-changing-climates/ | 2024-04-13T22:11:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.926608 | 677 |

- Hiking can benefit your physical and mental health but to have fun and stay safe, you must be prepared.
- Beginners should research and plan out their route.
- While you may be tempted to hike alone, beginners should hike in groups for safety.
Nothing beats getting out in nature, breathing in the fresh air, and enjoying a challenging (but fun!) hike. Not only is it physically good for you, but it can benefit your mental health too. After all, connecting with nature can help you unwind and de-stress from the busyness of everyday life. But if you’ve never hiked before, you might feel intimidated. Perhaps you’re worried that you’re not physically in shape or you may be concerned about getting lost. Don’t worry there is a hike for everyone, including beginners.
To ensure your hike is fun and safe, it’s important to be prepared. So we’re here to help! In our beginner’s guide to hiking, we’ll share 13 things you need to know before hiking.
Plan Your Hiking Route
One of the most important things to do before you go hiking is to plan your route, especially for beginners. There are tons of hiking trails available ranging from beginner to advanced and it’s vital that you choose one that’s compatible with your experience and fitness level.
When researching a hiking trail you’ll want to consider how much time you have and the distance of the route. Be realistic. You’ll also want to know the amount of elevation gain as this can determine the difficulty of the hike. Recreational Equipment, Inc (REI) explains, “a general recommendation is that for every 1,000 feet of elevation gain, add one hour to your trip.”
Other factors you’ll want to consider are the time of year and the weather. Some trails may only be open during certain seasons and if you’re hiking during fall or winter the sun sets much earlier which means you have less daylight to hike. Always check the weather forecast before setting out for your hike too.
Find Hiking Friends
Spending time alone in nature can be freeing but it can also be intimidating. And it can also be a bit unsafe, especially if you’re a beginner. This is why it’s a great idea to find a hiking buddy or two.
Hiking with friends might be even more fun as you’ll get to share and reminisce the experience together but it also adds an added layer of safety. In the event of an emergency, it’s always best to have others with you. Some experts recommend hiking in groups of 4 so that one person can stay with the injured individual while the other two can go get help. When you’re ready to try solo hiking trips, be sure to start on short, easy trails.
Don’t Rush a Hike
Another very important tip to keep in mind is to never rush a hike. While you might be eager to get out in nature and start getting your hiking boots dirty, accidents happen often when you’re rushing. They can also happen when you hike at night.
Instead, make sure you have plenty of time to complete your desired hike. Take the time to research the route and find out how long it takes and add extra time since you’re a beginner. Also, find out what time the sun sets to ensure you can complete your hike with plenty of time before it gets dark.
Make a List of Hiking Gear You Need
Another vital tip before you go hiking is to make a list of hiking gear you need. The good news is you don’t need a ton of expensive or high-tech gear to get started but you do need a few essentials to make sure you’re prepared and safe.
REI says the ten essentials for hiking include:
- Navigation, such as a map, compass, and GPS.
- Headlamp and batteries.
- Sun protection, including sunscreen, sunglasses, and protective clothing.
- First aid including bug spray.
- Knife and a gear repair kit.
- Fire tools such as matches, a lighter, and a firestarter.
- Emergency shelter.
- Extra food.
- Extra water.
- Extra clothing in case temperatures drop.
In addition to this list, you should also bring a communication device in the event of an emergency.
Along with packing the essentials, it’s important to dress appropriately. Since you’ll be spending a lot of time on your feet while hiking, it’s vital that you invest in a food pair of footwear.
Hiking shoes can be a personal choice as some individuals prefer ankle boots while others prefer running shoes. But REI points out that the type of terrain you’ll be walking on should impact your decision. Light footwear like running shoes are suitable for well-maintained trails without obstacles but if you’re planning on exploring rugged trails, then hiking boots may be the better investment.
When buying shoes make sure they’re comfortable and supportive. You should also break them in before your first hike. After all, you don’t want to finish your hike with a bunch of blisters! Finally, the source also suggests wearing wool or synthetic socks, not cotton because cotton absorbs moisture and takes forever to dry.
What to Wear Hiking
You’ll want to be mindful of what you wear hiking too. Like socks, you’ll want to avoid other cotton clothing items. Instead, opt for quick-drying and moisture-wicking fabrics, such as polyester, or wool. It’s also smart to hike in layers. This way you have warmer clothes if you need them but you can also remove layers when you get too warm.
Be prepared for the weather when it comes to your hiking attire too. Is the weather going to be cold? You may need an insulated vest or jacket. You should also pack a waterproof jacket even if rain isn’t in the forecast. Finally, don’t forget sun protection like hats, sunglasses, and a sun shirt.
Don’t Forget Food and Water
Other essential items you’ll need are plenty of food and water, especially if you’re going on a long hike. REI recommends eating 200- to 300-calories per hour and about half a liter of water for every hour of moderate activity in moderate temperatures. Also, bring a bit extra than what you think you need just in case your hike takes longer than anticipated.
Additionally, carrying a lot of water can be heavy, so the source says some hikers invest in a water filter system. This allows you to treat water from a river or lake and turn it into safe drinking water.
Finally, make sure you pack a garbage bag. If you’re eating food, odds are you’re going to have garbage and you should never leave your litter, including organic waste. Everything you bring on your hike needs to come back with you.
Beware of Poisonous Plants and Pesky Bugs
While nature can be beautiful, poisonous plants are lurking in the forest. Before hiking it’s important to brush up on which plants can harm you. Some plants to be particularly mindful of are poison ivy, poison oak, and giant hogweed. These plants can cause rashes to severe burns and should be avoided. Research the trail you’re hiking and find out what poisonous plants are in the area.
Pesky bugs can be a problem too. This is why you should spray bug repellent on yourself before hiking and bring it with you. You also need to be mindful of ticks as they can carry Lyme disease. To prevent ticks try your best to avoid tall grassy areas, wear long pants and socks, and check yourself for ticks after your hike.
Check the Trail Conditions
Before embarking on your hiking adventure it’s always important to check the current trail conditions. Depending on the year, the trails may be unsafe.
Rainstorms can make terrain muddy and unpredictable and freezing temperatures can make it icy and slippery. This is why you should be prepared and adjust your schedule accordingly.
Luckily, checking trail conditions is easy. You can often find this information on the park’s website, on online hiking groups, or even on social media.
Beginners may be surprised to know there is such thing as hiking etiquette. REI explains that there are a few important rules to follow that can help everyone have an enjoyable experience. For starters, the source says hikers going uphill should always have the right of way. Uphill hikers may encourage those coming down to go first to give themselves a break but let them make that decision.
Secondly, mountain bikers are usually expected to yield to hikers, however, since they’re moving fast, it may be easier for you to get out of the way. Finally, the source says if you encounter horses on the trail, they have the right away. Be sure to give them plenty of space to pass and don’t make any abrupt movements that may startle the horse.
Tips for Hiking With Children and Dogs
Hiking can be an enjoyable experience that you do with your child(ren) or furry companion but there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind before heading out. For starters, children of almost any age can go hiking but it’s important to opt for shorter trails when hiking with kids. Kids love learning and exploring so be sure to stop to look at what nature has to offer along the way.
Before you hike with your dog, it’s important that you find out if the park allows dogs in the first place. REI points out that most national parks in the U.S. don’t even allow leashed dogs. That said, there are still many national forests and state parks that do allow dogs. Just be sure to check their website first. Also, in almost all places, leashes are mandatory. Another quick tip when hiking with your dog, don’t forget to pack plenty of water and food for them too. Finally, don’t forget to stoop and scoop!
Check Your Gear
While buying new hiking gear can be just as fun as using it, it’s important to check it all out before you use it for the first time. You want to make sure all your gear works and you know how to use it, especially items like a GPS.
For items that require batteries, make sure they’re in good working order or replace them. You should also go through your first aid kit and make sure you have everything you need such as gauze pads and bandages. You can also use this opportunity to double-check you have everything you need for your hike.
Share Your Plans
Finally, one of the most important tips of all is to always share your hiking plans. Whether you’re hiking alone or with a group, it’s a good idea to share your plans with someone who isn’t going on the hike. While no one wants to get lost, it can happen, and informing a family member or friend can add an extra layer of security and safety.
In addition to sharing your location, you should also share the route you plan to take and roughly how long you think the hike will take. This way if you’re not back on time, they can send help. | <urn:uuid:321a5aed-ce14-4538-b199-38f007ea3b32> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://activebeat.com/your-health/things-to-know-before-you-go-hiking/ | 2024-04-13T22:13:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.949922 | 2,390 |

Last weekend, I attended a Beethoven Festival concert here in Chicago featuring John Elliot Gardiner’s Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique. In a word, the group was exquisite. But I’m not a music critic so their musicality isn’t the subject of today’s post. Instead, we’re going to examine the program notes.
Typically, I don’t even bother reading program notes, but this one drew me in thanks to some top-notch art design. I have no idea who* designed this book, but they deserve an award for putting together such a wonderful program. I spent a solid five minutes flipping through and soaking in page layouts, the wonderful use of negative space, and overall art design. Indeed, this is a coffee table worthy production.
And then I started reading the copy.
These notes are a perfect example why we continue to be our own worst enemy. Case in point, here’s a passage from the Beethoven Symphony No. 3 notes:
The Finale begins with Haydnesque humor, but uses it as a springboard for another daring experiment. This set of variations (frequently criticized in the past for providing a “weak” ending for such a huge work) confronts us in the sharpest possible way with the coexistence of Beethoven the visionary symphonist and Beethoven the uninhibited prankster. In a droll reversal of normal variation procedures, Beethoven begins with three fragmented, seemingly trivial variations before introducing the full-blown theme. This melody in turn launches a series of episodes that are not so much variations as self-contained worlds of energy and feeling. Beethoven’s increasing fondness of complex, dramatic fugues is allowed full play here, as is his predilection for asymmetrical rhythms. At the end, the same wild scramble of notes that opened the movement ushers in an ecstatic coda.
Let’s start with “Haydnesque humor.” I have a degree in classical music performance and found myself thinking “what the [bleep] does that even mean?” At best, it’s subjective snobbery but far more importantly, how do you think that will make a new or infrequent concertgoer feel?
Next up is “frequently criticized in the past for providing a ‘weak’ ending.” The sarcastic voice in my head quickly chimed in: Okay, you ignorant sots, you didn’t get the Haydn comment but just in case that wasn’t enough to make you self-conscious, allow me to slap you upside the head with an insider reference to historical precedent. I keep coming back to wondering how this is supposed to make the new/infrequent concertgoer feel.
I could dwell on a few bits immediately afterward, but let’s fast forward to “In a droll reversal of normal variation procedures.” My sarcastic inner monologue is in a fit: What, you don’t know how variations usually work? Then it sucks to be you. Do everyone else a favor and just chuckle-smirk when someone that looks smarter than you does. Now sit there and think about how uncultured you are. I’m embarrassed for both of us!
That’s followed up with “This melody in turn launches a series of episodes that are not so much variations.” The author means “episodes” as in the portion of a fugue with a not entirely complete subject. Just in case the newbie concertgoer wasn’t completely beaten down, that should have delivered the killing blow.
But wait, there’s more: “as is his predilection for asymmetrical rhythms.” In all fairness, the author would have opted for penchant, but that would have come across as too pretentious.
Keep in mind, this is a single paragraph excerpted from pages and pages of program notes written by the same author.
On its own, this copy is weapons grade elitism (#weaponsgradeelistism).
After all that, I’ll be the first to stand up and advocate that the copy isn’t worthless, but it isn’t paired with the right audience either.
Arts marketer Lee Gallagher is fond of saying “right person, right message, right time, right channel.” It’s every bit as applicable to program notes as sales copy.
In the end, these program notes do far more harm than we probably realize. When the CultureTrack ’17 report showed the number one barrier to engagement is people feeling like “it isn’t for someone like me,” we should actively revolt against practices that result in program notes like this. If someone with a music degree feels alienated upon reading them, imagine how the rest of our patrons will react.

I’ve been reviewing a lot of Canon’s interesting light weight consumer-grade optics as of late, and continues with today’s review of the Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM. The 800mm f/11 was announced alongside the similar 600mm f/11 lens, providing super-telephoto reach with a slow aperture and an affordable price. Like many of Canon’s lower end RF lenses, I originally dismissed this lens as too slow, too cheap and not worth my time. And like those other lenses, after seeing the images come out of the 800mm f/11, and trying it for myself, I can see the lens is very much worth my time, and it may very well be worth yours as well.
800mm lenses are historically a bit of a rare breed. The major 35mm players have all released 800mm lenses over the years, but they don’t get refreshed that often, and due to the huge focal length and the apertures required for focusing, they have generally been enormous lenses. Canon’s EF 800mm f/5.6 is 10 lbs and 18.5 inches long. Nikon’s F mount 800mm f/5.6 is similarly sized. Pentax even released an 800mm f/4 for their 6×7 camera lineup back in the day…a rare lens with an enormous aperture and giant image circle (with a field of view and depth of field like that of a 400mm f/2 on 35mm) that weighed a whopping 39lbs!
Only recently, with special diffractive optics technologies and other strategies, have these supertelephotos begun to shrink a bit. Canon’s RF 800mm f/5.6 is only 6.9 lbs and 17″ in length. Nikon’s brand new 800mm f/6.3 PF is a wonder of engineering, and drops that size to 15.2″ in length and just 5.2 lbs. But Canon’s RF 800mm f/11, while definitely the slowest of this 800mm bunch, comes in at a miniscule 11.75″ (when collapsed) and 2.77 lbs. That is downright tiny for this level of reach. At just $999 (originally $899 at launch), the lens is also very affordable for this amount of reach. The compromise, of course, is that f/11 fixed aperture, but let’s dive in and see what other compromises or surprises there may be.
If you haven’t visited my site before, I review cameras and lenses from a real-world shooting perspective. You won’t find lens charts or test subjects here. I take a look at how a piece of equipment works for me out in the field.
Construction and Handling
The RF 800mm f/11 looks unlike most any lens I’ve seen from Canon before. It looks immediately like a low cost lens, and in my opinion is fairly ugly aesthetically, but there’s also a sort of utilitarian simplicity to it. The lens is constructed with a liberal use of engineering plastics on a metal mount. The optical design is rather simple, and there is a LOT of air inside the lens, such that the overall package is surprisingly lightweight. When stowed for storage, the lens is less than a foot long, which prevents you from carrying it in most shoulder bags, but fits a lot of lens cases designed for consumer grade supertelephoto zooms like the Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary. If you need reach in a size that can fit in a shoulder bag, the sister 600mm f/11 is considerably shorter.
The lens has a 2 inch collapsible section that is locked and unlocked via a ring at the rear of the lens. This ring is actually a switch lock, not a friction lock, so it turns smoothly and with a satisfying positive click at either end of the rotation, giving you tactile feedback when you lock and unlock. To use the lens, you must extend it to shooting position. If you fail to do this, the camera will remind you on the screen before you can use the lens.
The extending tube is all plastic, but there is no play or wobble in this part of the lens. I will say that the extending motion of the tube itself can be a little sticky and jerky, but it isn’t sloppy. The midsection of the 800mm f/11 feels like most any Canon RF lens, with a matte finish polycarbonate. There is a broad rubberized manual focus ring and a silver control ring following that. The last third of the lens is taken up with a flared section that is covered in a textured plastic that almost looks like rubber. This section is bizarre looking, but the flared shapes molded into the barrel feel great, and give your left hand something to grasp positively when shooting with the lens.
While the lens is of moderate weight in absolute terms, it is a featherweight for an 800mm lens, and as such can be carried around for extended periods with no problem. I also found that I had no issues at all handholding this lens while out hiking. It’s a joy to use in the field.
While slow in f-stop, it is still an 800mm lens, and so the front element is still a reasonably large 95mm. The 800mm takes standard 95mm front filters, though I think they are of limited use in a lens such as this. I really only see practical use for a polarizer when needed to cut reflections of wet foliage or the like.
The RF 800mm f/11, like all of Canon’s consumer-grade optics, does not come with a lens hood. The official lens hood for the RF 800mm is the Canon ET-101, and it will cost you a rather exorbitant $55 if you choose to pick one up. I chose to purchase the JJC version of the hood, which is very well made, has the button lock like the official hood, but costs just $18. You can see the hood mounted to the lens at full extension below.
In an interesting omission for an 800mm lens, the RF 800mm f/11 does not have an option for a rotating tripod ring. In its place is a small block with a 1/4″ tripod socket directly on the bottom of the lens. A quick release plate can be attached to this to allow for tripod mounting the lens, though without the typical ability to rotate from horizontal to vertical within a collar. I’m currently using a long Arca-Swiss style plate on the lens, and it works well and balances well on a tripod, though I am currently limited to using the drop notch for vertical photos. While not as convenient as a tripod collar, Kirk Enterprises also makes an L-bracket for the RF 800mm and 600mm lenses, which work just like those on a camera, allowing easier switching from landscape to portrait orientation. I think this is reasonably priced for what it is (costing about half what Canon typically charges for a lens collar), and will likely pick one up at some point.
The 800mm f/11 has to cut a few corners to hit that sub-$1,000 price point, and one of those is the focus motor used. The RF 800mm f/11 uses the Canon STM stepping motor to focus, but the implementation here is pretty good overall. The lens doesn’t focus as quickly as something like the 100-400mm f/5.6-8, which was built with a Nano-USM motor, but it does focus quickly enough for most tasks. The biggest downside to the lens for focusing is that the lens can only be focused in the central part of the image frame due to the fixed f/11 aperture. While this is definitely more limiting than other mirrorless lenses, the area of usable focus is similar in size to a typical full-frame DSLR.
Edit 4/20/2023: The focus area limitation is only present on cameras made pre-2021. The R3, R6 Mark II and R8 all feature improved autofocus systems, which expand the focus area of the lens to about 80% of the frame. This significantly improves the experience.
That central limiting frame does limit the effectiveness of the animal detect eye autofocus, though, as you will need to keep the eye within the central box to ensure the camera can continue to lock focus. For things like birds, this really isn’t generally a problem, but it does make tracking birds in flight more difficult than it would otherwise.
Focus is reasonable in speed, but will suffer a little when dealing with very rapid changes in focus. Accuracy, though, is excellent.
One thing the lens does include is an optical Image Stabilization unit. The IS unit on the RF 800mm f/11 is quite good, claiming around 5.5 stops of extra stability for hand holding. Like most claims, I did find the 5.5 stops to be a little optimistic, but was able to fairly regularly get sharp shots at 4 stops slower than normal, or around 1/50s. I could get occasional sharp shots around 1/25s, or 5 stops, but not regularly enough to rely on it. This is a very solid performance for such a long lens, and it really helps in getting sharp shots, due to the dark aperture and extreme focal length. The shot below was taken at 1/20s, and is pretty sharp, but I was braced on a windowsill and took multiple shots with electronic shutter to achieve it. | <urn:uuid:7fd1ee05-3c7d-48b2-bfa7-2fdbf3e3bb4e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://admiringlight.com/blog/review-canon-rf-800mm-f-11-is-stm/ | 2024-04-13T22:43:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.959052 | 1,979 |
If you’ve read my reviews before, you may notice that I always discuss sharpness first, but I’m switching things up for this review because the discussion on distortion will impact the discussion on the other imaging parameters. The reason for this is that when viewing uncorrected RAW files, the 18-105mm f/4 G OSS has the worst distortion characteristic of any lens I have ever used for any format. The lens exhibits moderate pincushion distortion at 18mm and it simply gets worse from there, with more severe pincushion throughout the zoom range. The level of distortion is rather extreme, and is actually somewhat more complex than typical pincushion distortion, as using standard distortion correction tools will still leave residual bending of lines at the image edges.
The distortion is severe enough that I view the digital correction of this distortion to be absolutely essential to using the lens. The distortion is visible not only in shots of architecture and other images with straight lines, but can even be noticeable in portraits or more abstract work. It has the potential to ruin images if left uncorrected.
Luckily, if you are shooting JPEG images or shooting videos on a more recent E-Mount body, the camera will apply built-in distortion correction to the images, and this correction is even displayed when the camera is showing you the live view. Additionally, Lightroom 5 has a profile for this lens that corrects the distortion perfectly, which I would highly recommend applying upon import if you are shooting RAW. As such, after discovering this and setting an import preset to apply profile corrections, I don’t ever see the distortions any more in practice.
View the two images to the right, showing uncorrected and corrected levels of distortion. I would not recommend using the 18-105mm if you are shooting RAW and you typically use a RAW converter that doesn’t have a profile for this lens.
The reason I discuss this first, is that the evaluation of all the other imaging qualities in this review is based on images that have had the digital distortion correction applied. I didn’t bother evaluating sharpness on uncorrected images because in my opinion, images from this lens are essentially useless without correcting the distortion. As such, sharpness and CA was evaluated after applying the profile corrections in Lightroom 5.4.
So, given the ‘G’ designation on this lens, I expected a relatively high level of sharpness from this lens, and I have to say, it didn’t quite meet my expectations, though it wasn’t too far behind. The 18-105mm f/4 is a lens that provides very good sharpness over the central 80% of the frame throughout the range, right from f/4. However the edges and corners do lag a bit behind at f/4. Stopping down brings edge and corner resolution at most focus distances to ‘good’ territory, but never into outstanding territory.
The lens is the weakest at the wide end of the zoom range, with the edges of the frame retaining a bit of softness even stopped down, though for most shooting there is plenty of detail across the vast majority of the frame, and the center is excellent. Click on the image to the left and then click on the green arrow to enlarge to see a large sample. The mid range towards the long end of the zoom sees some improvement overall, with a very good performance here, with just a slight bit of corner softness. The center softens slightly at 105mm, but still provides acceptable results, though image borders at 105mm remain only average stopped down.
The best way to sum up the sharpness of this lens is to say that it is always competent, but rarely exceptional.
Wide range standard zooms are usually not renowned for their excellent bokeh, but the 18-105mm does a very nice job in this department. With a longer range than most standard zooms, the f/4 aperture will still allow for a fair bit of background blur, and when blurring the background, the 18-105mm produces quite pleasing bokeh. Out of focus areas are generally smoothly rendered and specular highlights are round and evenly lit. ‘Onion’ rings in the highlights can occasionally be observed due to the aspherical elements in the lens, but overall, a very nice performance that stays consistently good at all focal lengths.
Color, Contrast, Flare and Aberrations
The 18-105mm provides a very neutral output with regards to contrast, with somewhat muted midtones. The result is a file that can be tweaked to your desire, but won’t provide huge amounts of pop right out of the camera. Color on the 18-105mm tends towards the cool side, with color saturation being neither dull nor extremely rich. While this means that straight out of the camera, you may need to add some minor contrast and saturation tweaks, it also means that you’ve got a great starting file from which to work.
Overall, the lens performs pretty well against bright light. Some minor flare ghosting can occur in the right circumstances, but overall the lens does a nice job here. In the right circumstances, some lateral chromatic aberration can be visible, though I found it rarely posed an issue in everyday shooting. Indeed, I have to go looking for it for the most part. A lot of this is not so much that the absolute level of CA is low, but rather that for some reason, where it shows up, the saturation of the fringe isn’t particularly high, so it often blends into the adjacent detail without issue. | <urn:uuid:f4a9af53-ec93-4086-ad79-d8a1793e216d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://admiringlight.com/blog/review-sony-e-pz-18-105mm-f4-g-oss/2/ | 2024-04-13T21:45:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.939692 | 1,154 |

So I appreciated reading this new blog post on mariamontessori.com today entitled 'Break it Up & Break it Down'.
Sometimes we all need a reminder that we need to be the voice of calm amid a tumultuous storm and look at each of these moments as a true learning opportunity. Learning to deal with people is hard. It's hard as an adult! - & it's especially hard if you are only 4 - but it is within the safe cocoon of our own families that our children will learn the skills that they will carry for a lifetime.

A monk from The Gyoto Monks of Tibet displays calm focus on the task of creating a sand mandala in celebration of The Dalai Lama's 75th birthday at The Crystal Castle, Mullumbimby. July 2010.
Isn't it funny - we spent our bn (before-now) lives impressing ourselves with our ability to multi-task & suddenly the simple idea of being able 2 *single task* is completely lust-worthy.
I was just reading this article from the Zen Habits blog & really feel an affinity with it. While I am loving & embracing our new social media reality I also acknowledge how flighty & unfocused it makes me feel at times.
It used 2 be a case of hanging out waiting 4 the postman 2 come or maybe the old-skool landline phone to ring* to add some sparkle into our day - particularly if we full-time parent or work from home - but now there is entertainment, intellectual stimulation & fleeting or heart-felt connection available 24/7.
What are we losing in the gaps...? & how are we going 2 ensure that we don't completely sacrifice the delicate art of focussed concentration in a world that only promises 2 get big, bigger & big-gig-ier by the minute?
I would love 2 hear your thoughts :) x
* = does anyone actually still use theirs??
Last week after we got home from our trip we had a few days to enjoy the city-life before school went back & I decided I was brave enough to face a day at the Art Gallery ;)
It was the BEST decision ever. LOVED.
The boys were AMAZiNG... We were there for almost 5 hours. Probably in the Paths to Abstraction exhibition for at 3 of those! The gallery provided a Kids Trail activity booklet & the boys threw themselves into these with all their heart & soul.
Earnestly observing & interpreting this iNSPiRED collection of art. I adore these images of them sprawled across the gallery floor completely unaware of the people around them. Immersion 101.
It was one of my favourite days ever. Granted, I was definitely a little frazzled at the end of it from containing their vibrant boy-ancy ;) but it was so worth it.
Interestingly it was Lovely - who i don't usually see involving himself in artistic pursuits as much as Hug - who was the most enamored with his own creations. More LOVE!
I had to promise Hug that we would go back as soon as possible & hire the kids audio guides 4 the general collection but between a planned return to Cockatoo Island for the Sydney Biennale (Amazing! We took the boys when it first opened & I'll try & post about it next wek) & a meet-up with friends to see this exhibition (below) I don't think it will be this weekend. Soon.
The Cell commissioned by Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation and presented in association with Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane, is a hypnotic, immersive, large-scale installation. A 12.5-metre by six-metre inflatable decorated both inside and out with Wiradjuri-op designs, The Cell requires viewers to don a patterned costum before crawling via a tunnel into its patterned, cushioned interior.
Dressing up 2 crawl through a tunnel 2 an internal jumping castle?? Now, THAT'S what we call ART!
p.s. If I was in NYC (oh, sweet dreams!) I would be going 2 see Big Bambú at the Met. Amaze. Unfortunately that's not going 2 happen but luckily we can watch this youtube video instead :)
Goodnight lovely people. I hope life is treating you kindly. x

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring fibrous minerals that were widely used in construction materials, such as cement, insulation, and roofing shingles, due to their fire-resistant properties. However, inhaling or ingesting asbestos fibers can lead to serious health problems, like lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.
The danger of asbestos lies in its microscopic fibers that can easily become airborne when the material is disturbed or damaged. This can happen during building renovations, demolitions, or natural disasters like storms. Therefore, it is essential to take the appropriate safety measures when dealing with asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).

As part of measures to cushion the effect of the hardship being experienced over the removal of fuel subsidy, Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara state today, June 5, directed that the workdays of public workers be reduced from five days to three days per week.

The State Head of Service, Mrs Susan Modupe Oluwole, announced the directive in Ilorin, saying that the state government approved the reduction as a temporary palliative measure to bring some ease to workers.
Oluwole directed all Heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in the state to immediately work out a format indicating the alternating work days for each worker under them.
The Head of Service, however, warned the workers not to abuse the magnanimity of the governor, stressing that the regular monitoring of MDAs by her office would be intensified to ensure strict compliance. | <urn:uuid:6d0686c7-af2e-4bc1-835a-287f40a614d1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://africantimesmagazine.com/2023/subsidy-removal-government-workers-to-work-3-days-per-week-now/ | 2024-04-13T21:33:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.966842 | 198 |
Global Fund Observer Editorial
Article Type:Article Number: 1
In the immortal words of Cole Porter, ‘there may be trouble ahead’
ABSTRACT Our editorial team’s summary of what you can expect from this issue of the Global Fund Observer in the lead up to the first of 2022’s Global Fund Board meetings.
One has to feel sorry for the Global Fund Secretariat: all that immensely hard work on the plans to implement the Global Fund’s forthcoming Strategy 2023-2028 and still there are cries of dissatisfaction. But let’s be honest — no one would expect less, given the Strategy’s protracted labour and very painful birth. It is a Strategy unlike any before in the history of the institution, conceived in a time unlike any before when the world was in the grips of an unprecedented pandemic and all work was conducted remotely. And the same passion and fervour of its stakeholders that result in constructive criticisms (yes, they are constructive) about the proposed ‘how’ to implement the Strategy are the Global Fund’s strongest advocates for the excellent work it does.
Moreover, to be fair to the Secretariat, it has been extremely responsive to stakeholder requests for more debate on this important topic. A letter from the Board Chair and Vice-Chair on 20 April announced changes to the agenda to reflect the views of the stakeholders. Read article 2 on what to expect from the forthcoming Board meeting (First look: the upcoming Global Fund Board meeting agenda).
Article 3 (President Biden pledges for the Global Fund’s Seventh Replenishment) looks at what President Biden’s pledge means for the Seventh Replenishment and if the 30% more that is requested of both donors and implementers can really be achieved in the current financial climate. Following on from this, our ‘From The Field’ article reports on the regional meeting of 19 sub-Saharan African countries and their regional approach to preparing their countries to support the Seventh Replenishment (Forging a common regional approach to the Global Fund’s Seventh Replenishment).
Then hold on to your hats because this is where things become more complicated. The next two articles describe the Secretariat’s plans for the new Strategy’s implementation (Getting to grips with the “How” of the forthcoming Global Fund Strategy implementation) and a summary, in article 6, of stakeholders’ views on the draft plans (Diverging views on plans for operationalizing the forthcoming Global Fund Strategy). The second has to be read in the light of the first — and you can see how complicated the first was that resulted in the views expressed in the second. Just as it was impossible to give you all the details of the implementation plans, as there were so many details, it was likewise impossible to cover all viewpoints. We hope we have done justice to most of them, and one area in which there was no divergence was the need for more discussion on the topic — to which the Board responded positively.
Our penultimate article summarizes the recent report from the Office of the Inspector General on an audit of Global Fund grants in Nigeria.
Finally, we end with a discussion of the role of the fiscal agents employed by the Global Fund in countries where grants’ financial activities require extra scrutiny (Is the Global Fund fiscal agent’s model fit for purpose or ready for a review?). This is such a difficult and emotive topic to report on, but one thing is clear: the time is ripe for the model to be reviewed. What do you think?
And to look forward to…
The Board will meet in early May. As is our custom, Aidspan will bring you a Special Edition of the GFO immediately following the closure of the meeting on 12 May covering the most important papers and all the decision points. BUT as there are so many important papers, too many to cover in one issue, we have decided to spoil you by publishing a Second Special Edition of GFO the week following the Board Meeting, on 19 May

Wondering how to make a bit of extra money from your phone? I’ve found an app that lets you earn rewards just for completing easy tasks in your spare time. It’s called CashJuice, and it’s the perfect way to generate some supplementary income without much effort.
CashJuice offers simple microtasks that you can squeeze in around your normal daily activities. Things like testing apps, answering surveys, clicking links, and more. All you need is an internet-connected device and a few minutes here and there. The types of opportunities vary so there’s usually something new to check out.
One thing I love about CashJuice is that it’s open to anyone – no experience or special skills needed. All skill levels are welcome to participate. They provide clear instructions, so even if you’re totally new to this kind of thing, you can easily figure it out. Getting started is a cinch, as there’s no complicated signup process. Simply download the app or visit the website to create your free account.
CashJuice gives you complete flexibility with your earnings too. There’s no minimum payout amount, so you’re free to cash out your rewards any time they reach $1 or more. That’s a huge perk in my opinion. Some similar sites make you wait until you hit a certain threshold, but not CashJuice. You get to decide when you want your money.
With CashJuice, security and privacy are also top priorities. They use bank-grade encryption and don’t collect any unnecessary personal information. All of your data is protected. I really appreciate knowing I can earn using the platform without worries about security risks. That level of protection puts me at ease.
The best news is that CashJuice tasks are said to pay better than most other platforms. Some people report being able to earn $10 or more per hour completing microjobs. Keep in mind your results may vary, but that’s still a pretty decent wage just for using your phone a little each day.
Overall, I think CashJuice is well worth giving a try if you’re interested in making some supplementary income in your downtime. It doesn’t require major time investments or special skills. I’d encourage you to download the app or visit the website today to start earning. Who knows, you could end up adding a nice bonus to your budget each month. The opportunities are there – you just need to take advantage of them!

With Mother’s Day still fresh in our minds, we thought it was time to look at a very important topic – mothers (and parents) in the workplace.
Balancing work and family responsibility can be challenging at the best of times.
And despite legal protections and rights, many working mums and dads still face discrimination and challenges in the workplace due to their parental responsibilities.
This got us wondering, what particular challenges do working parents face in the workplace? And how can we help to address these issues?
Discrimination in the workplace
Despite legal protections being in place, many Australians encounter workplace discrimination due to being parents (or expecting parents).
A 2014 study found that among working parents in Australia, a staggering 50% of mothers (and 27% of fathers) had experienced some form of discrimination.
Workplace Fairness explains that “employers may discriminate based on family responsibilities when they deny employment or promotions, harass, pay less, or otherwise take negative employment action against an employee because of the employee’s family responsibilities”.
Some examples of discrimination include:
- Firing employees because they are pregnant or will take maternity leave
- Failing to promote pregnant women or women with young children/ giving promotions to women without children or fathers instead of more qualified women with children
- Giving parents work schedules that they cannot meet for childcare reasons while giving nonparents flexible schedules
- Fabricating work infractions or performance deficiencies to justify dismissal of employees with family responsibilities
- Promoting single men over engaged or married women for fear that they will become pregnant
For working parents in Australia, discrimination most commonly occurs when requesting and taking parental leave and upon returning to work.
More specifically, the most prevalent forms of discrimination relate to negative attitudes towards breastfeeding, having flexible work requests denied, facing dismissal (or the threat of dismissal), reductions in salary and missing out on promotions or professional development opportunities.
These types of discrimination pose a major concern, not only in terms of career progression and opportunities, but also regarding the mental and physical health of working parents, as well as their financial stability and security.
Rights and protections
While these types of discrimination undoubtedly occur in the workplace, there are legal protections in place for employees who are pregnant or have family responsibilities – e.g. the Fair Work Act states that employers cannot take ‘adverse action’ against an employee due to them being pregnant.
The Fair Work Act “makes discrimination on the basis of sex, pregnancy, and family and carer’s responsibilities unlawful, subject to certain exceptions, and protects employees who have workplace rights, like the right to take unpaid parental leave.”
Additionally, there are a range of federal and state/territory anti-discrimination laws which make it “unlawful for an employer to discriminate against an employee on various grounds including …pregnancy, potential pregnancy, breastfeeding and family responsibilities.”
Employees also have the right to request flexible working arrangements if they have worked for the same employer for at least one year and are not employed on a casual basis.
Addressing the problem
So… as an employer, it is important you, your managers and your workforce understand the business’ responsibilities in relation to working parents so they don’t experience discrimination in your workplace.
If an employee believes they are being discriminated against because of pregnancy and/or family responsibilities, there are a number of avenues they can pursue to ensure it is dealt with. The first course of action should be that your employee clearly understand discriminatory behaviour in your workplace is not acceptable and feel comfortable in bringing that matter to the attention of management should they believe it has occurred.
At the same time and whilst your employee may believe it is discriminatory behaviour, it may be reasonable management action. Your management team and your workforce needs to understand the difference between reasonable management action and discriminatory behaviour.
If an employee says they are being discriminated against, make sure you take the correct action in addressing the matter – i.e. investigate all of the circumstances and confirm the outcome of that investigation with the employee. If it is reasonable management action, explain to the employee why that is the case. If it is discriminatory behaviour by an employee or group of employees, make sure those people understand that such behaviour is not acceptable in your workplace and implement any disciplinary action that may be required.
If you do not manage discrimination complaints, your business could very well end up with a complaint against it with the relevant commission.
As most employers are working parents themselves, there should be a level of understanding of the pressures and responsibilities facing working parents and avoid falling into patterns where working mums and dads in your workplace are overlooked, singled out or dismissed due to their family responsibilities.
Having an open dialogue with employees about their concerns and expectations, ensuring your workplace has family-friendly work practices in place, and embracing flexible work arrangements are great places to start.
While it can sometimes take work to adapt, we have a legal (and moral) obligation to not discriminate against working parents.
Akyra’s key takeaway
- Discrimination against working parents remains a major concern in the Australian workplace
- Working parents have legal rights and protections, and discrimination on the basis of pregnancy and family responsibilities is unlawful
- Employers need to be aware of their obligations and the rights of employees on these issues – and ensure that they are meeting these obligations

A vote on the yearly capital implementation cleanup bill was deferred after Councilor Miguel Gomez objected to amendments proposed by Councilors Debbie O’Malley and Eric Griego. One Griego amendment specified that a velodrome approved last year by voters be built before a BMX track that was added later to the project. Griego said building the BMX track first was a bait and switch on voters. But the big issues of the night concerned just who gets to mess up whose neighborhood.

In the jazz genre, many times the human voice is not considered an equal instrument to the instrumentalist, why? I really don’t know, as music begins in the heart, is transferred to the brain, and heard in the ear before it is transferred through the human instrument, i.e. really all instrumentalists are singers, in their inner ear. The human voice is one of the oldest instruments and in the right hands it can be a powerful tool. In the case of Pat Battstone sextet, vocalist Marialuisa Capurso is front and center in the execution of using her voice as an improvisationally based instrument in the Avant Garde idiom.
Capurso is inventive and adventurous, but in control of each idea. The ensemble supports her lines in a supportive and communicative way. The conversation between players is embellished with articulate musicianship that pulls Battstone’s latest project Elements off with mastery.
“The Red Crest,” slowly eases you into the project with the signaling of bells and lightly accented plucks and vocalizing. As the tune begins to build, elongated notes and swooshes of effect swirl into the performance to add interest and impact. There is a freedom is human sound, if one only takes the time to expand their thinking and ability to picture themselves in the moment. This tune also at times reminded me of a movie soundtrack that could be found in underground classics like Blue Velvet.
“Wet War,” is a beautifully inspired piece, featuring Mariasole De Pascali on flute and Francesco Massaro on bass clarinet, it is beautifully colorized and introspectively gorgeous. Again Capurso uses her voice as a fellow instrument engaging the climax of the tune and adding beauty to the colorization of the tune. Proving my theory of the human voice being a powerful instrument aligned with the instrumental tonalities.
Elements is a powerful vehicle not only for the Avant Garde listener, but also for the exploration of the soul. The sextet has actuated a forcefully moving release that will inspire the human spirit. | <urn:uuid:038a6116-0b4e-4902-aa92-9a312c36c948> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://allaboutvocals.com/pat-battstone-sextet-elements/ | 2024-04-13T22:42:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.949167 | 444 |
Google Earth has captured a strange giant creature in the ocean. Will hysteria break out?
A similar sensation is not only aroused by the legendary Lochneska. In England, a giant crab appeared, which also required a separate report.
In the aerial photo, a giant, at least 15-meter crab was captured, sitting happily in shallow water, as if lurking on prey, as you can see in this video:
The picture was taken in the seaside town of Whistable, Kent.
Immediately after its publication, crowds of people flocked here who wanted to catch the largest British crab, which even began to be nicknamed Krabzilla.
According to skeptics, however, it was written about an unusually shaped sandy shore or a joke.
In the turquoise waters of one of New Zealand’s most idyllic bays, a giant mysterious sea creature was probably spotted.
This strange animal crab even appeared in a separate news post, where the commentator herself mentions that it was too big for a shark and too fast for a whale…
And this mysterious creature appeared near New Zealand Bay and even re-unleashed mentions of the Loch Ness monster. | <urn:uuid:d67450d9-1337-4370-a13e-1a6766917db8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://alleseuropa.net/2022/06/30/google-earth-captured-a-strange-giant-creature-in-the-ocean/ | 2024-04-13T23:04:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.971047 | 243 |
China punishes more than 100 Tibetan officials
China continues to maintain its “No Covid” policy, strict epidemic prevention measures are assessed to show that this is still the country’s top goal.
“Broad-based discipline is a clear reminder to local Chinese officials what the top priority is now,” said Alfred Wu, an associate professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore.
China dismissed or reprimanded more than 100 officials in the Tibet Autonomous Region in August for failing to contain the Covid-19 outbreak.
22 officials in Lhasa, the capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region, last week faced disciplinary action for negligence in controlling Covid-19.
Five of them were dismissed, 17 were given a stern warning, the SCMP on August 28 quoted local authorities as saying. | <urn:uuid:cd01d3fe-c071-48e0-b844-4b4618073dfa> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://alleseuropa.net/2022/08/28/china-punishes-tibetan-officials/ | 2024-04-13T22:23:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.95565 | 178 |

There was a dragonborn warlock in our group, who would never help out with the team or play along with the DM’s lore. Whenever we play he would always leave and do his own thing rather than playing with the rest of the group and when he does join us he would argue with the DM, or with everyone on our actions and desicions. Whenever our team takes on quest or go on a quest he would argue with the Dm on why should he care or take on the quest (would waste half an hour trying to convince him). His character was built to be a businessman/rogue rather than being an actual warlock, which angered the group and Dm because he would always be breaking into buildings and robbing the place and all his spells and cantrips were only benifical to himself. During combat, he would never contribute and would always argue with the Dm and try to overrule the Dm’s control. He would even at times metagame and would argue if it doesn’t go his way. So one time when he was breaking into a bank rather than playing the Dm’s lore, he was defeated by six powerful NPCs (3 wizards, 1 warlock, and two fighters) who were guarding the vault with the money. He used invisibility to reach the vault but whatbhe didn’t know was that the three wizards and possessed detect magic and invisibility so they caught him red handed and attacked him. He tried to escaped but he failed poorly on the rolls and was trapped by the three wizards. Eventually the warlock and two fighters joined the fight and defeated him easily. They took him to prison where they found out about that he was connected to all the other robberies in the city and was sentence to death. He tried to metagame his way out but failed, and complained about the Dm being unfair, to which the Dm told him it was his choices. None of us helped because ingame our characters were somewhere else doing a quest and didn’t know and because we as players got tired of his crap and the Dm got tired of him breaking off from the team and doing his own thing. | <urn:uuid:a36d114b-47de-4669-8164-d36130200e3f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://allthingsdnd.com/non-contributory-player/ | 2024-04-13T22:03:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.995711 | 448 |

During a Wednesday CNN town hall, former president Donald Trump reportedly alleged that the Biden administration was “destroying” the country in the wake of the repeal of Title 42.
“Tomorrow is going to be a day of infamy. You’re going to have tens of thousands of people pouring into our country. Even the judge, the judge overruled them when they wanted to terminate it early, and he said you know you better extend this thing. The judge in Texas said I hope you’re going to extend this, but this is my policy they’re letting terminate because they lost in court and wanted to go earlier.” Trump said during the event.
“You’re going to have millions of people pouring into our country right now at a level nobody has ever seen before. These people are sick. Anybody that wants this to happen to our country, they’re destroying our country, and this should not be allowed to happen.” He continued.
“Millions of people are coming into our country, and you know what the number is going to be in my opinion, not the 4 million you hear and the 3 million. I think it’s going to be 15 million people.” He concluded.
The Trump government’s use of Title 42, a public health measure, to deport illegal immigrants, was announced by the Biden administration in January, and it would terminate on May 11.
The border between the United States and Mexico has seen over 1.2 million illegal immigrants during fiscal year 2023. | <urn:uuid:8672af02-7c53-4c06-866e-029a83489878> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://americasnewsdesk.com/2023/05/11/trump-predicts-day-of-infamy-after-title-42-ends-claims-15-million-migrants-will-swarm-border/ | 2024-04-13T22:32:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.979645 | 326 |
In a federal indictment that was unsealed on Wednesday, a former employee of Republican New York Rep. George Santos was reportedly charged with wire fraud and identity theft.
Santos’ former staff assistant Samuel Miele was charged with impersonating a member of Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy’s office in order to improperly solicit money for Santos’ congressional candidacy in 2022.
Miele entered a not guilty plea to four charges of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft before being charged in a New York federal court and freed on a $150,000 bail.

Miele impersonated McCarthy’s chief of staff to solicit campaign funds, according to earlier this year’s journalistic investigations, despite the indictment not naming Santos or specifying which House member Miele was imitating.
In a second wire fraud case, George Santos is being prosecuted by the same prosecutors who brought the case against Miele.
Santos was charged with 13 charges of wire fraud, money laundering, and making false statements to the House of Representatives when he was detained and later freed on a $500,000 bail.
He is scheduled to return to court on September 7th. | <urn:uuid:9b2a0a5a-3e78-4b64-b1e4-11ac9c98f705> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://americasnewsdesk.com/2023/08/16/aide-to-notorious-congressman-george-santos-reportedly-charged-with-wire-fraud/ | 2024-04-13T23:13:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.962838 | 322 |
Amid Rapid Growth, Large Southwest Health System Selects Amitech Solutions for Data Analytics Project
September 26, 2022 (ST. LOUIS) – Amitech Solutions, an award-winning healthcare data, analytics and automation consulting firm, is honored to announce a new data analytics partnership with one of the largest nonprofit healthcare systems in the country. The collaboration between Amitech and this southwest-based healthcare provider will give them insights into how their prices and reimbursement in several key markets are perceived by major commercial insurance plans. By utilizing commercially available claims data and Amitech’s healthcare analytics expertise, this provider will enter future price negotiations with greater strategic knowledge and exit them with greater confidence in their financial and market positions.
With rising healthcare costs in the US, this 30+ hospital system needs more visibility into competitive pricing data for medical procedures in the areas it serves. The health system selected Amitech to facilitate this project based on Amitech’s expertise in price transparency data analytics.
In a time of soaring healthcare costs, healthcare providers and payors are utilizing pricing data to reduce avoidable expenses. Last year, The Public Health Service Act started requiring hospitals to publish their payor-negotiated rates for at least 300 shoppable services, but the data has been supplied in widely varying formats making it hard to consume and nearly impossible for most organizations to integrate. Many customers turned to Amitech to gain deeper insights into the market-wide pricing variations and bring equity into payor/provider contracts.
“Amitech is thrilled to work alongside this large health system to help them better understand their reimbursement position,” said Amitech VP of Data Analytics, Paul Boal. “Our goal at Amitech is to improve healthcare for all, especially during a time of skyrocketing healthcare costs and downward pressures from a shrinking workforce.”
Amitech is an award-winning data, analytics and automation healthcare consulting firm. At Amitech, we believe healthcare can and should be better. With a single-minded focus on value, we combine people, process, culture and technology to drive real and lasting change. We partner with our customers to deliver data, analytics and automation strategies and solutions to make healthcare more proactive, higher quality and less expensive for everyone. | <urn:uuid:25da4440-af81-4659-874f-8693c0e4efb2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://amitechsolutions.com/blogs/amid-rapid-growth-large-southwest-health-system-selects-amitech-solutions-for-data-analytics-project/ | 2024-04-13T22:41:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.945296 | 457 |
There are 2 tailoring workshops linked to the projects. In the orphanages and in the MIA/ALMA project the trainees are taught by 2 master-tailors to work in a profession so important in Burkina Faso. The girls learn to take patterns and make customised clothing, patchwork and all kinds of tailored garments. They also have to learn to present and sell their products. They offer their products, bags, cushion covers, throws, shirts and dresses at craft fairs and other major events.
Visit our online shop or our boutique to see the range of products. Many of the patchwork quilts are pieces made for the final exams, each one so colourful and unique.
Our trainee girls also attend external evening classes.
On completing their training AMPO offers the girls material support to get them started on the job market. They are given the tools they need to exercise their profession. Many remain closely linked to AMPO and some will find work in our own facilities as educators or nurses. Others set up their own workshops and supply the products we sell in the AMPO boutique or online abroad.
Training kitchen and restaurant
We have a training kitchen on the AMPO premises operating our MAM DUNIA restaurant which is open to the public and offers African and European cuisine.
In the restaurant the girls from the orphanage and from MIA/ALMA are taught to prepare and serve African and European dishes.
Beer and wine are the only alcoholic beverages and we close early, because it is first and foremost a training facility.
The restaurant has earned a reputation far beyond the city limits for its standard of hygiene and excellent cuisine.
The profits from MAM DUNIA are transferred to our regular account at the end of the year and allocated to the orphanages, except for the reserves which we keep for a rainy day. So when you come to eat with us, you're also doing a good deed.

Satirists, or writers of any kind perhaps, have to see the world a little differently. Askew perhaps. Recently I turned 40, well 41 actually, and I guess I started thinking back on my life and I was trying to figure out how I became a satirist – how I became corrupted … in the best sense of that term.
I remember when I was about five or six and my father, who was an electrician back then, went up north to do some electrical work. He was gone for months (or so it felt) and when we went to Winnipeg to meet him at the train station I didn’t even recognize him. He had a beard. Apparently he had been too busy wiring houses to shave. When we got home, my younger brother and I were excited to hear his stories and, perhaps, get a present of some sort, something to compensate for the fact he was gone so long and was now unrecognizably hirsute. And, yes, he did have presents.
He hauled out a pair of matching child-size light blue sweatshirts. He’d been working in Pukatawagan, a First Nations community in northern Manitoba, and the only souvenir he could find were these novelty sweatshirts from the non-existent University of Pukatawagan. In the middle they said in big bold letters “Puk U”. This is hilarious and brilliant and I’d love to meet the person who came up with that. Needless to say my Mom was none too impressed. I’m not sure she wanted her kids walking around Steinbach in 1985 saying “puk u” to everyone.
My brother and I didn’t get it. We literally did not know what that word meant, what the joke was, or why the shirt required urgent alterations. However, it didn’t take much to convince us, as we were quickly offered the chance to select any cartoon character we wanted to cover-up the offending words. We browsed the selection of iron-on censorship badges at the Clearspring Mall and chose Sylvester the Cat.
I’m not sure when we learned the truth about the sweaters. Perhaps it was about the time I discovered that very same word (only spelled differently) in a Brian Mulroney joke book at a store in Brandon. I’ve written before about how obsessed I was with politics from an early age, probably 10 or 11, and I used to draw Brian Mulroney political cartoons, my first foray into satire. By then my father was a minister and I remember browsing a bookstore where he pointed out a Brian Mulroney joke book. “Hey, Andrew, I think you might like this.” And I sure did! Only my minister father didn’t realize the sort of jokes that were in that book. You know, they don’t put the “Puk U” jokes on the cover. Those are buried somewhere in the middle of the book where pastors can’t find them. That book exposed me to a whole host of new words and subject matter, most of which I dare not repeat here for fear of besmirching our beloved Prime Minister’s reputation even further. Let’s just say that, in this particular book, 24 Sussex Drive is vandalized with urine and the Prime Minister is accused of having intimate relations with a goat. Classy stuff.
Both The Daily Bonnet and my novel Once Removed deal with, to some degree, politics and religion and the uncomfortable mixture of those things at times. I think my “corruption” when it comes to these topics was a gradual one.
Of course, as you know, I was already writing Mulroney cartoons, but I was also very politically involved, going door-to-door for my local candidate before I was old enough to even vote (or drive). I went to political rallies and got an autographed Preston Manning book for my 13th birthday. Eventually, however, the scales fell off. I think by the time I was 18 or 19 I saw that winning an election had little to do with ideas. Politicians were not philosophers or scholars and they didn’t try to win people’s votes with intellect. Instead, I saw trivial things like fighting with other candidates about the positioning of signs on a prominent Steinbach intersection or the importance of “getting out the vote” (ie. calling people and harassing them on election day).
Since then I’ve become agnostic about politics and political parties in particular. Of course I still have opinions about issues, but I have no “team” and I think this has helped me when I write political satire. Unfortunately, some readers assume that if a particular article critiques a particular politician that, obviously, I must support the other. This simplistic thinking is a biproduct of our society I guess.
While glimpses behind the curtain of election campaigns have contributed to my satirical outlook on politics, I think that glimpses behind the curtain of the church had a similar impact. Like politics, when religion is being critiqued the focus is often on corrupt or incompetent leaders, but as a pastor’s son I also saw how terrible the parishioners can be to those leaders, especially in Protestant churches (I’m including Mennonite here) where powerful and wealthy parishioners in some congregations have significant clout. Fortunately my parents were able to shield much of that stuff from my brother and I, but I was still aware of what was going on to some degree. I heard, for instance, about the trivial theological disagreements that somehow, for some reason, were a really big deal. Like knowing precisely when the Rapture will come. This was apparently enough to lead church members to near blows in adult Sunday School. Stuff like that. I also learned that it wasn’t a good look for the pastor’s son to listen to rock music (even in the 90s). My dad let us do it, but I know he got flack from some fundamentalist parishioners about it. And I know there were a lot worse things than these examples, but we got the Sylvester the Cat treatment on those thankfully.
I’m sure that none of these reflections would pass muster with any psychologist, but now I write satire, which requires me to find flaws in everything, or the joke in things that might not otherwise be funny, and I can’t help but think that these childhood experiences contributed to my ability to do this kind of writing day after day. I guess I just see the world a little askew. But I’m not complaining. I like the view from this angle. | <urn:uuid:e74aeb60-14e5-48aa-a37c-655a3e2ebbe2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://andrewunger.com/how-i-got-corrupted/ | 2024-04-13T22:03:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.982897 | 1,396 |

Checkout BradyBound. It's a system wide download speed shaper/limiter. Few things to note:
- The app requires root access.
- It works by dropping packets using
. This wastes some traffic - how much depends on the type of traffic (e.g. long running download, web browsing).
- Rate measurement is done by number of packets instead of bytes so the speed limit won't be accurate.
- This only limits TCP traffic (it makes no sense to drop UDP packets).

Dear Diary …
OK look … I can be brutally honest here. I ain’t gettin’ any younger. And that’s OK … I guess. Not like I have a choice. But where I DO have a choice is that even though I’m getting older, it doesn’t mean I need to ACT any older.
Here’s what I mean by that …
Plenty of people my age … people I went to college with or grew up with or whatever … people that still have plenty of life left to give … they’ve given up.
“Oh I’m too old … I don’t even understand how to turn my TV on anymore. I have to ask my daughter to do it for me.”
“What’s Tweeter? I don’t understand this social media. Bitmojis? What are those?”
You sound like a fossil.
I mean … is this it? Are you packing it in for good and deciding to become a lame old person?
If you are, then just quit. Start boarding the travel bus to Atlantic City so you can go play penny slots with your other blue-haired girlfriends because you’re turning into a senior citizen right before our eyes.
“But I don’t understand.”
What are you? Stupid?
You’re not stupid. You’re just lazy and you don’t feel like learning. So stop it. You sound like a dinosaur. Do you want to be extinct? Because I don’t.
And that goes for you too … person who says “All music today is crap” and hasn’t liked a new song since 1979. I’m sorry … that’s simply not true. You’re just not bothering to find it.
And guess what? Back in 1979 there was some fossil that said YOUR music was awful and all good music stopped in 1943. And now you’ve become that person. You happy about it?
Here’s the reality … stuff changes. Always. Thing are never gonna be exactly the way you grew up with them. So deal with it and evolve, or just go ahead and pack it in and call it a life, cuz you’re done.
Is that really what you want?
And to the people younger than me … you’re not completely off the hook here either. I’m gonna let you in on a little secret that may shock and amaze you … the world actually managed to exist before precious wonderful you was born. So learn about it!
“I don’t know that band … that was … like … literally before I was born.”
Learn about them. I mean … what’s the worst that happens? You get to find something you like that happened before 1995. Oh no!!!
You don’t have to let your generation define you … and that goes for every generation … so get to it.
Till next time Diary … I say … Goodbye. | <urn:uuid:51fdf41d-a72c-46da-8c26-b2e00a1b2a25> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://angerdiary.com/2018/06/ | 2024-04-13T23:41:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.946249 | 656 |

§ Mrs. Virginia BottomleyThirty-nine major pharmaceutical companies from within and outside the EC were asked to rate the seven cities which are bidding for the European Medicines Evaluation Agency against 13 different aspects that were considered to be crucial to the success of the agency. Responses to this poll, commissioned from NOP Consumer Market Research, are still being received.
The interim results, based on responses from about half of the companies, reveal that for every aspect the total number of votes cast for the EMEA to be located in London was greater than for any other city. The degree to which London was the preferred location was, throughout, so overwhelming that the total number of votes cast for London exceeded the total of votes cast for all the other cities put together, by a factor of about four to one.
Out of 12 additional factors which the companies themselves suggested were relevant to the siting of the EMEA, London was preferred on 10 of these.
This shows clearly that the international pharmaceutical industry rates London the best place for the EMEA, by an overwhelming margin. | <urn:uuid:f05070ac-0c0b-4f99-981c-2f83bc8fe30a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/written-answers/1993/oct/26/medicines-evaluation-agency | 2024-04-13T23:43:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.982413 | 218 |

After finding Apple’s OLED screens are highly susceptible to damage, SquareTrade, an Allstate company and protection plan provider, put the iPhone Xr through a series of screen tests, saying it shattered on the first drop in both the face-down drop test and back-down drop test.
However, in the bend test, it proved to be as durable as the iPhone Xs Max. SquareTrade used its drop and bend robots to examine how the new iPhone held up to being dropped on its front and back, as well as bent. The full results can be seen in the Screen Test video at https://bit.ly/2DbgIZo .
“The LCD screen in the iPhone Xr has a similar level of durability as the OLED screen featured in the iPhone Xs and Xs Max. Our tests show that across the board — with both the LCD and OLED screens — the all-glass designs of all three new iPhones are susceptible to cracking from drops, which is the most common cause of damage,” says Jason Siciliano, vice president global creative director at SquareTrade. “The iPhone Xr does cost less than the iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max, and it costs less to repair as well. However, at $199 for screen repairs, and $399 for other repairs (over half the price of the phone), it still isn’t cheap to fix. That said, with the iPhone Xr, you’re getting a more affordable phone with about the same level of durability, and it costs less to repair. That’s a good deal.”
To guard against the worst, SquareTrade advises screen protectors and phone cases, and a protection plan. | <urn:uuid:630a7f13-99f6-4e72-8ab2-a46e3b0a63d0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://appleworld.today/squaretrade-the-iphone-xrs-screen-is-just-as-breakable-as-that-of-the-xs/ | 2024-04-13T23:21:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.961713 | 354 |

Ratings and Reviews
Great, But Short and Easy
Loved this one. Wish there were more levels for sure, but did find the difficulty never ramped up either. Even into the last set of levels many times the board is filled up but I found solutions involving 2-3 less moves than allowed. Sometimes these didn’t even require me changing pieces. Not sure if that was by design (confuse player with lots of pieces on board and more moves that necessary) but I never hit something I felt was a large challenge on my play through. But I overall enjoyed every moment of this one, and you can wipe progress and restart so I will likely hang on to it and do so at some point in the future. Definitely worth checking out though!
Excellent with some suggestions for improvement
This is really an excellent game and a lot of fun to solve these puzzles. I have never seen one like it before, and for that I applaud the developer for his creativity and the uniqueness of this game. If you know how to play chess already, then it should make it easier to play through these puzzles, but it certainly is not a requirement since the app shows you possible moves for each piece that you’re playing with. Here are a couple of suggestions that I think will make the game better: 1) A large number of puzzles in this game can be solved in fewer moves than you are allowed to make moves. This is okay for the easy and the medium level, however for hard and very hard levels the players should be given only the fewest number of moves possible to solve that puzzle in order to actually make it hard or very hard. Because of this I was able to go through the hundred puzzles in a relatively short period of time and wishing there were more puzzles to solve. 2) please keep adding puzzles regularly to keep the players interested to keep coming back. Thank you.
An exciting and challenging twist on Chess!
Knowing how each chess piece moves is the easy part. Using these moves to solve puzzles is what makes this game so fun. With 4 different level difficulties, packed with tons of levels per difficulty, this game will keep you solving puzzle by puzzle, anxious to complete the next challenge that awaits you. Many levels are relatively simple, requiring few moves to think through and complete, while others are more complicated, making you have to think several steps ahead in order to succeed through the level. The developer also doesn’t collect any data, which is a nice addition to this already amazing Not Chess game. Overall, this game makes its wonderful visuals, gameplay, and privacy definitely worth the purchase.

WTF is SushiSwap?
Decentralized Finance is arguably one of the most significant financial advancements of the last century. But the concept is still in its infancy and there are several hurdles to overcome. We may be a long way from relying completely on decentralized financial services, but we take a step closer every day. There are a lot of great protocols, cryptocurrencies, networks, and programs that are making this conversion easier.
Turn back the clock only a few years and many cryptocurrency communities were dealing with the same serious problem that centralized financial institutions were dealing with. The problem was that if any community featured a single governing entity, then it exposed itself to a number of security threats and the risk of corruption. This problem was recently overcome with the rise of decentralized exchanges (DEXs).
What Is SushiSwap?
SushiSwap is a DEX created by the Sushi organization. As for Sushi, they consider themselves a "community-driven organization" with a focus on overcoming the DeFi problems we discussed earlier. They are currently working hard to overcome the liquidity problem, but will undoubtedly help tackle many other problems associated with DeFi and blockchain networks in general.
In addition to their DEX, Sushi has also developed yield farming tools, a decentralized lending market, and efficient staking derivatives. This multi-faceted attempt at solving the liquidity problem is what makes Sushi such a unique community. Each one of these tools is exceptional in its own right, but their benefit is increased tremendously when utilized together on a DeFi network.
For the moment, let's focus on their DEX, SushiSwap. This platform allows users to trade cryptocurrencies without the need for trust in any centralized entity. Every transaction is handled on a P2P basis and all of the liquidity is supplied from other users through techniques like yield farming. As long as there are traders online willing to farm liquidity, then the platform can continue to fund innovative DeFi solutions.
What Makes SushiSwap Exciting?
The SushiSwap approach to liquidity is fairly simple on paper. Interested parties are required to supply two types of tokens. The first token is the liquidity token itself and is known as the quote token. The second is a more common stable coin. The stable coin is most often Ethereum as SushiSwap is designed primarily to operate with Ethereum networks. After supplying these tokens, the person receives SLP tokens that represent their percentage-based ownership of the total liquidity pool for the pair of cryptocurrencies they provided.
The value of the two provided tokens will likely fluctuate while they are within the liquidity pool. SushiSwap is designed in a way that continually recalculates and adjusts the number of provided tokens to reflect the change in value. This means that you can supply equal amounts of two tokens but their quantities may have changed when you reclaim that invested liquidity.
This automated stabilization makes SushiSwap and highly efficient and accurate platform for decentralized exchanges. It ensures that values in the pool remain consistent while also eliminating some of the more tedious aspects of yield farming.
The SushiSwap Token & Governance Model
Rewards for providing this liquidity come in the form of protocol fees and the native SushiSwap token, which is known simply as SUSHI. There are a total of 100 new SUSHI tokens minted daily. The major profit potential associated with yield farming on the SushiSwap networks comes from combining the reclaimed liquidity along with the newly acquired SUSHI token.
The SUSHI token is useful in more ways than one. One such way is through the use of another Sushi application called SushiBar. The SushiBar application allows for the trading of SUSHI tokens for a second token called xSushi. What is special about xSushi is that it can be traded openly for fiat currencies like the USD. This represents a branch away from the decentralized model but is important because it creates a new avenue for earning a passive income from the original liquidity provided.
The SUSHI token also plays an important role in the governance model of the network. This is what controls the updates, new programs, and any changes that occur within the blockchain network. There is no single entity that controls these changes because SushiSwap is completely decentralized. Instead, all of these changes or voted on using the governance token.
SushiSwap is a community-based product and places a strong emphasis on communication. Proposed changes are often discussed in great detail on their official forum long before the democratic process begins. In this way, everyone who is truly interested and invested in the platform will have a say in what happens and will fully understand it before changes take place.
Who Is On The SushiSwap Team?
Referring to themselves as "chefs", there are several great developers and advisors working behind the scenes to create SushiSwap and other Sushi products. Here are just a few:
- OxMaki – Team Leader
- Joseph Delon – CTO
- Jiro Ono – Core Developer
- OxKeno – Core Developer
- OxNori – Security Team Leader
- Chester LaCroix – User Experience Design Leader
- Ayoki – Marketing Leader
- OxChu – Product Manager
What Funds SushiSwap?
As a decentralized exchange with a heavy focus on yield farming, SushiSwap is funded primarily by its users. Fees are pulled from every transaction and become part of the overall liquidity pool. Even major investors get involved by following the same process as your average trader (albeit with greater capital). This is partly what makes SushSwap such a unique and exciting prospect on the market today.
How To Participate In The SushiSwap Network?
Participation in the SushiSwap network is incredibly simple. All that you need to do is visit their website, create your account, and connect your cryptocurrency wallet. You can then begin exchanging tokens, partaking in yield farming, and earning a passive income. If you want to be even more involved in the network you can join their public forums and discussion boards where they discuss upcoming changes, new ideas, and projects in the works.
In Q3 2020, the community decided ⅔ of $SUSHI LP rewards would be locked for a 6-month period. At the end of March, this period elapsed.
— SushiChef (@SushiSwap) April 6, 2021
There remains confusion over how these rewards will be distributed.

Séan Neeson MLA stated: “The loss of these jobs is devastating.
“The jobs being lost are well paid, skilled posts. They are the type of jobs we need to be creating here, not losing.
“With redundancies being announced at Nortel on Monday, this week is an extremely difficult one for the local economy. One of the biggest issues facing politicians in Northern Ireland at this time is safeguarding employment during the downturn.
“The Stormont Executive has not been successful in meeting this challenge. The public have seen little sign that they have the vision to lead Northern Ireland through this tough time for our economy. Where is the sustainable approach that Northern Ireland needs? Where are the plans to boost the construction sector and improve our infrastructure?” | <urn:uuid:0b7be623-694b-4487-be1b-9612af8598ab> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://archive.allianceparty.org/neeson-says-visteon-job-losses-are-devastating/ | 2024-04-13T22:16:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.971918 | 161 |

Genetic Discrimination in Canada is Real and it is Lethal
By André Schutten
I’m not sure if it’s hypocrisy or ignorance, but three political stories this past week exposed a massive, rotting cavity in our collective moral code.
1) The federal government’s bill to remove “zombie laws” (laws that remain on the books after being struck down by the courts) will delete an inoperative abortion law, struck down by our Supreme Court in 1988. The Toronto Star’s Chantal Hebert says the movewill “predictably” divide the Conservatives. ARPA offers a different perspective. Either way, removing the inoperative abortion provision reminds us all that Canada remains the only democratic country with no laws protecting pre-born children.
2) Bill S-201, the Genetic Non-Discrimination Act, passed, even though the Prime Minister was strongly against it. Over a hundred backbench Liberals joined Conservative and New Democrat MPs to give final approval to the bill, which makes it a crime for insurance companies to demand potential customers provide a genetic test in order to get a health or insurance policy. Additionally, no company will be able to deny someone a job if they fail to have their genes tested. (The bill is not a done deal yet because the government says it may request the Supreme Court’s opinion on whether the bill is constitutional.) Again, whether or not this bill is mere virtue signaling or a major step forward for human rights is debatable. But clearly most parliamentarians (all Senators and 80% of MPs) believe, at least on a superficial level, that genetic discrimination is bad.
3) A report to the United Nations demonstrates that abortion has all but eliminated down syndrome babies in a number of different “progressive” countries. The rate is about 67% in the U.S. and a staggering 98% on average in Europe. In Iceland, “all pregnancies during the period 2008-2012, in which Down-Syndrome was diagnosed, were terminated – 100 percent.” We lack reliable data for Canada, but we likely fall somewhere between the U.S. and Europe.
And from our Parliament, which so rigorously and courageously legislated against genetic discrimination: crickets.
In the same Report to the UN, Down syndrome advocates explain what’s happening:
Choice becomes responsibility
By encouraging prenatal selection, the Dutch government helps build a mentality that society should not invest in these children. This mentality has already started: on one hand inclusion and equality in society is an ongoing matter of grave concern, on the other, governments and industry are pouring hundreds of millions of Euros into screening programs. A sign that society has found the ‘solution’ in the prenatal exclusion of people with Down syndrome and other disabilities. Women who ‘choose’ to have a child with Down syndrome are increasingly viewed by society as ‘irresponsible’. This undermines the social position of people with Down syndrome and their families in society even more.
Outside International human rights order
Human rights law, designed to protect humanity from atrocities such as the deliberate and systematic extermination of a group of people who share distinct physical and genetic traits, is left out of the decision-making process.
‘Women are always ‘guilty’, either of killing her unborn child or burdening society’
The Dutch government fails her obligation in protecting the rights of both people with Down syndrome and women. A woman’s right to choose is highly valued under Dutch law but no person shall be “subjected to discrimination based on genetic characteristics and individuals should be respected in their uniqueness and diversity”, (as is enshrined in articles 6 and 2 of the UDHGHR). Where Dutch healthcare (rightfully) disapproves a woman’s ‘right to choose’ when it comes to gender-selection, it actively promotes selection for Down syndrome. This stigmatizes people with Down syndrome and increases social pressure on women to terminate pregnancy.
Selective abortion is slickly marketed as a woman’s reproductive right, however psychological damage in women following (selective) abortion remains undiscussable luggage. Norwegian research shows selective abortion can “bring women to the limit of what a person can bear” while a Finnish study reports that the suicide rate among women who had undergone an abortion was a whopping six times higher compared to women who gave birth.
Icelandic photographer and artist Sigga Ella, after learning the shocking statistics from her homeland on elective abortions for Down babies, began “to worry about the moral justifications of the extermination of this entire population of people.” Ella started a photo project she calls, “First and foremost I am.” It features 21 beautiful photos of Down individuals of all ages.
As a country, as a “civil” society, do we really understand the damage we do when we recommend abortion for babies with the Down syndrome chromosome? What are we doing to embrace human diversity in all its forms? Are we totally incapable of introducing and debating a law that could end truly horrific genetic discrimination in Canada? And if our Parliament is made aware of this lethal discrimination and they do nothing, can we call them out as hypocrites?
Initiatives like Rainbow Baskets, Anchor Camp and others are wonderful. It’s great to see every day Canadians making a difference for our Down friends and neighbours in their own unique way. But Canada can do better. Our politicians can do much better! Let’s bring this matter to their attention as well. Genetic discrimination in Canada is real, and it is lethal. This brutality must stop. | <urn:uuid:c37837ad-fab3-4e0a-af5d-237f82b79d34> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://arpacanada.ca/2017/03/23/genetic-discrimination-canada-real-lethal/ | 2024-04-13T21:42:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.949626 | 1,177 |
Home and Office Art: Why You Need It and Where to Get It
We’ve all heard the saying “a picture is worth a thousand words.” But what about the impact of art in our day-to-day lives? The colors, shapes, and images you surround yourself with can have a profound effect on your mood, creativity, and productivity. That’s why it’s important to choose home and office art carefully. Not only should it be aesthetically pleasing, but it should also reflect your personal taste and style.
Fortunately, there are plenty of places to find high-quality, affordable art. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the benefits of investing in art for your home and office, as well as some of our favorite sources for finding stylish pieces that won’t break the bank.
The Benefits of Investing in Art for Your Home or Office
There are numerous benefits to investing in art for your living or working space. For starters, art can help you express your individuality and create a space that reflects your personality. If you have a passion for a certain artist or genre of art, incorporating pieces into your décor can make you feel more connected to that artist or style.
Art can also be used to boost your mood or increase your creativity. Surrounding yourself with positive images can help you feel happier and more inspired, while pieces with calm colors and soothing imagery can help you relax and de-stress. If you work from home, hanging artwork that motivates or inspires you can help increase your productivity.
Similarly, if you own a business, hanging artwork in common areas such as reception areas or hallways can make a good impression on clients and customers. Artwork can also be used to communicate your brand identity; for example, if you have a hipster coffee shop, vintage-inspired artwork would be more appropriate than abstract modern paintings.
It’s not just employees who can benefit from adding artwork to their décor; home owners can also reap the rewards. In fact, research has shown that homeowners who add art to their living spaces feel more connected to their homes and experience less anxiety than those who don’t have any artwork on display. If you’re looking for ways to make your home feel more like, well, home, adding some personal touches in the form of artwork is a great place to start. And if you’re not sure where to begin, there are plenty of resources and experts available to help you get started.
Where to Find Affordable Art
One of the best things about art is that there’s something out there for everyone’s taste and budget. While famous works by well-known artists can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars, there are plenty of ways to get your hands on stylish pieces without spending a fortune. Here are a few of our favorite sources:
• (insert your website): This online marketplace is teeming with talented artists selling their wares at very reasonable prices. You can find everything from hand-painted canvases to photography prints to digital illustrations—and since most sellers offer custom orders, it’s easy to find pieces that match your specific style preferences.
• Flea markets: Flea markets are great places to find one-of-a-kind art at bargain prices. If you’re patient and open-minded, you never know what gems you might uncover (just be sure to haggle!).
• Local galleries: Small galleries often sell works by up-and-coming artists at very reasonable rates—plus, supporting local businesses is always a good idea!
• Attend open studios or art walks: Open studios are events where artists open up their workspaces to the public so that people can see where they create their masterpieces. Art walks are similar events but they take place outdoors in designated areas. Both of these events are great opportunities to purchase artwork directly from the artist.
• Check out local coffee shops, bakeries, and restaurants: A lot of these businesses support local artists by hanging their artwork on the walls for customers to enjoy. This is a great way to find artwork because you can kill two birds with one stone – get your caffeine fix and browse through some potential pieces for your home. Who knows, you might even get to meet the artist if they’re working at the coffee shop!
• Garage Sales and Thrift Stores: You never know what hidden treasures you’ll find at a garage sale or flea market! If you have the time to sift through all the junk, you might just find a real gem for a fraction of the price it would normally sell for. Of course, this option is more for the true bargain hunters out there; it takes time and patience to find a real treasure among all the rubbish. But if you’re up for the challenge, it can be great fun!
Home and Office Art Is More Than Just Art
No matter what your budget is, there’s no excuse not to incorporate some beautiful artwork into your home or office décor! Not only will it make your space look more stylish and put together—it can also have positive effects on your mood, creativity, productivity levels, and so much more. So get out there and start shopping! (insert your website), flea markets/garage sales, art walks, local coffeeshops, thrift stores, and local galleries are all great sources for affordable art (just remember to haggle at flea markets/garage sales).
Whether it’s for the aesthetic value or the psychological benefits, incorporating art into your home or office space is a great way to improve your quality of life. So next time you’re looking for a way to spruce up your area and create an inspiring workspace, don’t forget about the power of art! | <urn:uuid:65f56a74-b956-49f6-8a3c-6d9aab1d38b3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://artblok.com/home-and-office-art-why-you-need-it-and-where-to-get-it/ | 2024-04-13T21:37:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.936491 | 1,203 |

Federation of International Basketball Associations (FIBA), has sent a congratulatory letter to the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) for their early qualification for the 2019 Men’s Cup in China.
D’Tigers are the first team in the world to qualify for the tournament following their 9-match winning streak with which they accrued a total of 18 points to qualify for the worlds with three games left to play.
In the letter, the FIBA Secretary General, Patrick Baumann, acknowledged the dexterity and resilience of the Nigerian team, stating that the NBBF should be quite proud of the team’s efforts in qualifying before top basketball nations of the world.
“Allow me to sincerely congratulate you, your National Federation and your players, on behalf also of our president, Mr Muratore on the qualification of your National Team to the FIBA Basketball World Cup which will be held in China next summer.
“As we embarked on a new era with the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup Qualifiers, your early successful qualification, well before the end of the qualifications is a testimony to the strength of your team and of basketball in your country. Your Federation and its National Team can be proud of having achieved this important milestone and being part of the journey to China.”
Nigerians are proud of the basketball federation, more-so since D’Tigress stunned the world at the 2018 FIBA Women’s World Cup in Tenerife.
All eyes will now be on the D’Tigers as they take on the best teams in the world next year, and hopefully do more than than our girls did at the world championship.

In article #1
Wood Round we found out about various ways of making a square piece of wood round and how to focus and paste a waste block to the turning block to join a face plate to the organic product bowl turning clear.
Wood Round will manage the real turning and burrowing out of the undertaking to make the natural product bowl.
The face plate has been appended to the natural product bowl and connected to the machine, you have checked for any detachment or development between your bowl bank and the face plate (any development between the bowl clear and the machine implies the waste or face plate has been inappropriately joined, begin once again) and you have perused followed every one of the maker’s admonitions on the machine and machine apparatuses you are presently prepared to begin.
Begin the machine
Stand to the side when you are initially beginning the machine on the off chance that there might be free trash on the turning clear or on the other hand assuming the turning clear is inappropriately joined. At the point when you initially start the machine, there will be a few vibrations this is typical and will lessen as you begin turning the bowl and it becomes round.
The main thing is to gather together the turning block; with the machine, in the off position, the device rest in front before your workspace roughly 1″ away structure the broadest piece of the turning block, be certain and pivot the wood 360º to not safeguard anything rubs against the apparatus rest or the banjo.
The Roughing Gouge
Utilizing a rouging gouge transform the bowl into a round shape. When the bowl is round you can plan your shape, in the event that there is a strong imperfection in the bowl leave it in the bowl as it just adds to the imaginative appearance of the task. Try not to Utilize THE ROUGHING GOUGE Within THE BOWL. There are numerous recordings on YouTube that will show the legitimate use of these instruments. Like everything on the web, a portion of the recordings are bad, so utilize great judgment. There is a wide range of ways of utilizing mechanical devices and as you come out as comfortable with the instruments you will learn methods that turn out really great for you.
While emptying the bowl focus on the thickness. Be mindful so as not to make the bowl excessively flimsy, attempt to leave around 1/4″ to 3/8″ thickness on the sides; the base will more often than not be somewhat thicker. Too thick will make the bowl look cumbersome. Sanding will make the bowl somewhat more slender. At the point when you are drawing near to the thickness you need to delay down and make smooth cuts, this will save a ton of work when you begin sanding your venture. Keep your apparatuses sharp! The most secure device is a sharp instrument. The following article will discuss sanding, surface covering for your venture, and appearance. | <urn:uuid:db2b6280-9de1-45b1-83dc-2a3c10781676> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://articlesall.com/wood-turning-tools-turning-a-fruit-bowl/?amp=1 | 2024-04-13T22:07:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.932932 | 594 |

Subject: Merrimon Ave proposed changes
I was unable to attend the public meeting last Monday but do want to comment on this project. I have a number of concerns about this project. First, it does not seem to be taking pedestrians and bicyclists into consideration with the proposed changes. There are many people walking this corridor and there are many present challenges for their safety. There are sections where sidewalk ends and leaves no place for the pedestrian to continue walking, there are locations where trying to cross the street is difficult now and by adding a turn lane will make the roadway wider and increase the time for people to get across the street. There are sections when turning traffic and pedestrians are moving at the same time and motorists do not yield to them. Second, although I am a seasoned bicyclist I avoid riding this section of road because there is no room for bicyclists on the roadway and there are so many vehicles that are vying for space and with the preoccupation of cell phones and other things motorists are not looking for bicyclists. It would be much safer for those on the sidewalks and for those who need to bike to locations on this roadway if a turn lane was put in by reducing the number of motor vehicle lanes and adding bike lanes on each direction. This would give a buffer to the pedestrians and a place for the bicyclists to travel. Fourth, I travel this road many times in my motor vehicle and I understand the issue with motorists having difficult traveling along this road, however I feel that congestion is not always a negative factor. There are times when this roadway is free moving and I fear that adding additional lanes will increase the speed that motorists travel. On Hendersonville Road, which I travel daily we find motorists traveling 50-60 mph. This is a deadly travel speed if a motorists hits a pedestrian. Merrimon Avenue maybe a numbered state roadway but it is also a local collector street; increasing the speed of motor vehicles does not need to be achieved. Continual flow is more important than increasing speed. Completing the sidewalk connections is the most important need of this roadway and I applaud the willingness to do this. Fifth, there is a very important crossing of a local greenway at WT Weaver Blvd. This is a difficult crossing for pedestrians and bicyclists because the crossing light is green for them at the same time the left turn light is green for motorists turning from Weaver onto Merrimon. This intersection needs correction. Also, the side walk is very narrow and there is a 3″ drop-off on the far side (the Luella’s side). This can be difficult for bicyclists to negotiate when trying to continue on the greenway. Widening the side walk would help with this problem.
I believe these suggestions are very important to make our community bicycle and pedestrian friendly. The city has been recognized as a bronze level bicycle friendly community and silver level as a pedestrian friendly community. We are trying to improve these classifications and I feel these suggestions would help us with these efforts. The NCDOT proposed changes would hinder these efforts. I hope you will take this information all into consideration and incorporate them into the DOT plan rather than continue as is.
I appreciate the opportunity to comment on this project.

Eco-friendly fabrication of high-efficiency chalcopyrite solar cells can be achieved through a variety of methods. One approach is to use low-cost, non-toxic materials in the fabrication process, such as replacing toxic solvents with water-based solutions. Another approach is to use sustainable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, to power the fabrication process. Additionally, recycling and reusing materials can also help to reduce the environmental impact of the fabrication process. The use of efficient processes and equipment to minimize the use of resources and energy, as well as minimizing waste can also be considered.
Clean, sustainable energy solutions are required to meet the world’s ever-increasing energy demands. Solar cells with high efficiency are promising candidates for reducing carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality. In this regard, solution-processed copper indium gallium sulfur diselenide solar cells (CIGSSe) have sparked considerable interest due to their excellent photovoltaic properties, such as high visible light absorption, stability, and tunable bandgap. However, large-scale, practical applications are hampered by a two-pronged problem.
When compared to expensive, vacuum-based fabrication methods, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of solution-processed copper indium gallium sulfur diselenide solar cells is significantly lower. Furthermore, solution-based methods rely on hazardous solvents. To that end, researchers at Incheon National University in Korea have developed a low-cost, environmentally friendly fabrication technique that does not require a vacuum. This novel approach produces a relatively high PCE of more than 17%.
We carried out spray deposition in an air environment without using any high vacuum facility, which significantly reduces fabrication cost and thus makes the fabrication technique more practical and competitive in the industry sector.
Prof. JunHo Kim
For starters, solution-based CIGSSe fabrication has a very low power conversion efficiency and frequently employs non-environmentally friendly solvents. Second, in order to achieve higher power conversion efficiency, fabrication methods rely on an expensive vacuum environment, which results in significant material loss. To that end, a group of researchers led by Professor JunHo Kim of the Global Energy Research Center for Carbon Neutrality at Incheon National University in Korea developed a low-cost and environmentally friendly method of fabricating high-efficiency CIGSSe solar cells.
In a study made available online and subsequently published in volume 32 Issue 46 of Advanced Functional Materials, the researchers used aqueous spray deposition in an air environment and developed a CIGSSe solar cell with power conversion efficiency (PCE) larger than 17 %. “For spray solution, we used deionized water, which is eco-friendly and the cheapest solvent till date,” explains Prof. Kim. Moreover, conventional solution-based fabrication processes rely on environmentally hazardous, cadmium-based buffers for the optimization of thin-film solar cells. In this novel technique, the researchers used indium sulfide-based buffer that is a cadmium-free, eco-friendly alternative.
The researchers went on to investigate zirconium alloying effects on indium sulfide buffers. Surprisingly, the team discovered that zirconium alloying raises the electron concentration in the buffer. Furthermore, this method “passivates” or reduces defect states in the CIGSSe absorber, optimizing charge transfer between different interfaces and resulting in improved PCE. By alloying the CIGSSe absorber with potassium, the researchers were able to achieve even more defect passivation and a higher PCE of more than 17%. The manufactured cell has an optimal bandgap for high-efficiency applications such as bottom or tandem cells.
Because it does not require a vacuum environment, this novel technique is both cost-effective and easily scalable. “We carried out spray deposition in an air environment without using any high vacuum facility,” says Prof. Kim, “which significantly reduces fabrication cost and thus makes the fabrication technique more practical and competitive in the industry sector.”
This advancement improves both the performance and the fabrication of CIGSSe solar cells. This will change the way these cells are used in integrated photovoltaic devices and vehicle-integrated photovoltaic devices, as well as energy sources for internet of things devices. | <urn:uuid:57fef541-9bdf-4da3-938d-9d77dcb4b3ed> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://assignmentpoint.com/high-efficiency-chalcopyrite-solar-cells-made-cheaply-and-sustainably/ | 2024-04-13T22:36:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.926421 | 892 |
Yesterday was day one at SocialText, and it’s safe to say that the experience could be summed up by envisioning drinking from a fire hose. In no particular order, my day consisted of:
– getting the details ironed out to get me into the numerous public and private git repositories.
– getting email and machine access ironed out.
– meeting the development and testing teams and getting a feel for what we need to be doing.
– attending the first stand-up and learning the priorities.
– seeing one piece flow enacted in a Kanban system.
– looking at the testing framework and seeing what holds it all together.
– learning how we create and modify tests (that are actually defined in our wiki product).
– getting a feel from my team what has come before, what we need to deal with now, and where we’ll be going from here.
– learning the creative rules for how to effectively park in the business district of Palo Alto, and how to use the daily changing parking hangers.
– a lot of HR specific on-boarding details.
– and an interesting reading assignment; read Tom Wolfe’s short story “Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers”.
Yeah, I thought that was an interesting title, and our Quality Director had a point to it.
In the original story, which takes place in the late 60’s in San Francisco, the Flak Catchers are the municipal government (aka “the man”) and they are trying to deal with a number of outreach programs towards those in the community that are decidedly not “the man”. The story shows, often farcically, how the various groups seeking to utilize the programs used confrontation to work the system, to get their initiatives and priorities covered, sometimes at expense to other groups, who likewise used the same tactics to get what *they* wanted.
In addition to using confrontation as a tool, they also found ways to game the system. The net result? The Flak Catchers ran around dealing with every “Mau Mau” pushed on them. The overall effect was to create a system that made the situation worse for everyone.
As testers, we are used to being in the role of bearing bad news, as well as trying to deliver good quality. In lesser hands, this has the potential of being pushed, cajoled, metaphorically bribed to “let others get what they need”. In short, testers get Mau Mau’d all the time! The point being driven home to me was simple… there’s a difference between collaboration and working effectively with the various teams, and getting Mau Mau’d. We want to encourage the former. We will very much do all we can to prevent the latter! As a former Lone Tester who often didn’t have the benefit of a leader willing to make that kind of pledge, I consider this to be awesome, and I hope that more testing teams will consider doing the same.
Oh, and for those wondering, I took the train home, ate dinner, and went straight to bed! This, I think, stands in as one of my most exhausting first days on the job ever, in all of the best ways. Let’s see what day two has in store for me :). | <urn:uuid:387866d8-8f4b-47ad-9e56-164fa710403b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://associationforsoftwaretesting.org/2012/11/20/onboarding-and-not-getting-mau-maud/ | 2024-04-13T22:35:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.971505 | 697 |
- Title: Swift J1357.2-0933: the faintest black hole?
- Authors: M. Armas Padilla, R. Wijnands, N. Degenaar, T. Munoz-Darias, J.Casares, & R.P. Fender
- First Author’s Institution: University of Amsterdam
- Paper Status: Submitted to MNRAS
X-ray binaries are stellar systems that are luminous in the x-ray portion of the spectrum. Matter from one star (typically on the Main Sequence) is transferred onto a more massive white dwarf, neutron star, or stellar-mass black hole. This accretion gives rise to the high x-ray luminosities because the infalling matter converts gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, which is then radiated away as x-rays. Astronomers subdivide these systems into low-mass x-ray binaries (LMXB) and high-mass x-ray binaries (HMXB). This distinction depends on the mass of the star that is donating mass to the other component.
Occasionally these systems can begin to transfer relatively large amounts of mass, changing their mass transfer rate by up to a few orders of magnitude. However, they are typically found in a lower mass-transferring state referred to as quiescence. Since these systems appear to spend most of their time in these quiescent states, it is common to compare various systems using parameters determined when they were in this state.
The authors of today’s paper investigate the nature of one particular black hole LMXB, called Swift J1357.2-0933. They observed the source with the XMM-Newton satellite, which can observe between 0.1 and 15 keV. Concurrent observations were taken in the optical to confirm the source was in a quiescent state by comparing the magnitude to previously known values.
The x-ray spectrum can be used to determine the x-ray luminosity of the source, if you know the distance, through the flux-luminosity relation. Determining the luminosity is complicated by the large uncertainty in the distance. Previous studies of this object have placed this object between 0.5 and 6 kpc, though 1.5 kpc is the commonly stated distance. Assuming a distance of 1.5 kpc, the authors determine this source to be the faintest BH LMXB known, based on x-ray luminosity. If it is further away, the luminosity would be comparable to the faintest BH sources. Figure 1 shows how the distance uncertainty affects the luminosity (grey box).
A more precise distance will help constrain some theory about the behavior of BH binary sources. Binary sources will lose angular momentum due to gravitational radiation, causing the orbital period to decrease. It has been predicted that as the orbital period decreases, the luminosity would likewise decrease, but only down to a certain period, at which the luminosity would again increase. There are not yet enough known and measured BH binary sources to fully investigate this theoretical prediction. The object studied in this paper is around the period at which this luminosity is thought to switch. There is only one other black hole binary at a similar period, shown as the crossed black circle in Figure 1. Accurately determining the distance will allow a more accurate luminosity and feed into if or where this switch occurs.
This system has the potential to help provide an important constraint to our understanding of low-mass x-ray binaries and their evolution over time. The most important task to reach this potential is to more accurately determine the distance, which can be measured through obtaining more optical photometry and spectroscopy of the companion main sequence star. | <urn:uuid:f8f3a39c-2b26-477e-9c3a-fe5f8a0da262> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://astrobites.org/2014/04/15/a-faint-black-hole/ | 2024-04-13T22:18:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.944719 | 772 |

Atholl Estates is a large consumer of energy and currently, most of that is derived from fossil fuels. Our most significant demand for energy is for heating homes, holiday accommodation and commercial space, followed by fuel for vehicles which are used across the estate for transport, agriculture and forestry. We also continue to apply inorganic fertiliser to arable land on our in-hand farms, which is also produced using fossil fuels.
Conversely, the estate also produces green energy through hydro generation of electricity at five schemes which have a combined generating capacity of about 2.5 Megawatts, sufficient to power a town of 5000 homes.
Our energy policy is to to reduce consumption, transition away from fossil fuels and examine further ways we can produce green energy.
The key means of achieving this objective will be through insulating our houses. We aim to achieve EPC level D at all properties by the end of the plan period and higher in cases where properties have been refurbished.
All properties, including holiday accommodation will have room thermostats fitted to allow heat control to be convenient and dynamic. We intend to work with SSE to ensure all properties are fitted with smart meters to allow tenants and staff to monitor and control their electrical consumption. There will also be increased monitoring of heat settings during voids in our holiday accommodation and office / visitor attraction space.
We don’t anticipate much opportunity to reduce vehicle energy consumption during the plan period as our land based industries require off road, high workload capable cars, trucks and tractors. However, greater attention will be given to ensure fuel consumption is a key metric in the selection of new vehicles and that work journeys are made as efficient as possible by smart use of time and planning.
Reduction in energy consumption on our farms will be covered in more detail in the Rural chapter of this plan. The objective will be met by establishing 2021 as a baseline, then setting reduction targets as part of the enterprise operating plans and budgets on an annual basis. The vectors for achieving reductions will be via a move to more regenerative methods of agriculture which requires less tillage and inorganic fertiliser.
Blair Castle is our largest unit consumer of energy, mainly for heat as most electricity is sourced directly from its own hydro scheme. The castle’s Grade A Listing make it imperative that heat is maintained throughout the year, to impede degradation of the fabric and contents from damp however its scale and design inevitably demand a high energy heating source. Currently, the heat fuel is oil. Various studies have investigated non fossil fuel alternatives such as biomass and heat pumps but all so far have failed to be remotely viable or complaint with the historic listing. In the long term we anticipate the commercial hydrogen will be the answer but until that fuel is available, we anticipate a transition fuel will be liquified petroleum gas (LPG) or possibly biogas if an ethical supply could be sourced.
The largest consumer of fossil fuels by group on the estate is our housing stock which are mainly heated by oil. As from 2022, no further oil boilers will be purchased to replace existing stock unless there is clearly no alternative available. Our policy will be to use electric, LPG or air source heat pumps (ASHP) for renewing systems as circumstances indicate. As for the castle, electric and hydrogen will be the long term energy sources but we anticipate hydrogen for heat is at least 5 years away from being commercially available.
Electric vehicles (EVs) will be presumed in favour when purchasing new vehicles although options for our off-road fleet are not anticipated to be commercially available during the period of this plan. EV charging stations are already available at the castle, park and estate office. We will expand on the units and power sources as demand indicates.
Investment in hydro generation during the last decade has exhausted the commercially viable opportunities in that sector on the estate however continued investment and attention to maintenance must be applied to ensure they continue to operate at optimum efficiency.
Solar for heat (water) and solarPV (electricity) has been unviable without grant at our latitude but with costs falling due to advancements in technology and scale, we will continue to monitor these options. There is particular anticipation that solar for heat could be viable for the caravan park shower blocks and solarPV farms might become viable during the period of this plan for sites with good access and close proximity to the grid or a high demand load such as an industrial estate. | <urn:uuid:fb17f3f5-d539-45d8-9b7d-97b4d6ceecd8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://atholl-estates.co.uk/estate/sustainability/renewable-energy/ | 2024-04-13T22:21:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.954162 | 899 |

After all, who hasn\’t wished that they could stumble upon an abandoned city in the woods?
The illustrations are terrific. They add to the story, and are well done. The story is easy going and subtle in the peril, but still make the reader jump and sit on the edge of their seat. Additionally, the Christian themes make it one that is good for young children without being too preachy.
In short, I love it. Its innocence makes it ideal to be read to younger readers (it\’s not too long – maybe 40 pages) or a good one for beginner chapter book readers. My son is 11, and I know he\’ll have a good time reading it, too. | <urn:uuid:c4a971be-0afd-425f-be30-848c4cbf304d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://audreypress.com/2012/03/16/free-ebook-friday-burly-and-grum-and-the-secret-city-a-burly-and-grum-tale/ | 2024-04-13T23:01:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.951382 | 471 |
The Art of Arrangement: Unveiling the Florist’s Magic
Flowers have a unique ability to transform an ordinary space into a vibrant and life-filled haven. But have you ever wondered how seemingly random blooms are crafted into those breathtaking arrangements gracing shops and homes? The secret lies in the artistry of florists, who possess a fascinating process for transforming raw beauty into floral masterpieces.
The Foundation: Design and Selection
A stunning flower arrangement starts well before reaching the vase. Florists begin by understanding the client’s needs and the occasion. Whether it’s a celebratory bouquet, a centerpiece for a wedding, or sympathy flowers, the design takes these factors into account. Colors, textures, and overall style are all meticulously considered to create the perfect visual message.
Once the design is finalized, the flower selection commences. Freshness is paramount, and florists have a keen eye for blooms at their peak. They source high-quality flowers, considering factors like color harmony, bloom size, and stem strength. Seasonal availability plays a crucial role, ensuring the arrangement reflects the current bounty of nature.
Preparation is Key
With the perfect blooms in hand, the groundwork for the arrangement begins. Florists meticulously clean and trim the stems. A diagonal cut with sharp shears is preferred, maximizing water intake and preventing stem splitting. Some flowers benefit from additional techniques like crushing the stem base or splitting it slightly to enhance water absorption.
The choice of vase is equally important. It should complement the arrangement’s style and size. For a balanced look, the flowers should be one-and-a-half to two times the height of the vase. Short, wide containers work well with sprawling blooms, while tall, slender vases are ideal for vertical arrangements.
Florists often employ floral mechanics to provide structure and support. Floral foam, soaked in water with a flower preservative, is a popular choice. It offers a stable base for inserting stems at various angles, allowing for a more dynamic and visually interesting composition. Chicken wire or gridded material can also be used for specific designs.
Building the Masterpiece
Now comes the moment of artistic expression. Florists typically start by establishing a strong focal point, using larger blooms or statement flowers. Greenery, like eucalyptus or ferns, is then incorporated to add depth, texture, and a natural flow. These filler elements frame the focal flowers and create a balanced composition.
The arrangement is built one stem at a time. Florists strategically place each stem, considering balance, proportion, and color harmony. Techniques like layering and cascading are employed to create a sense of movement and dimension. The placement of each bloom is crucial, ensuring all sides of the arrangement are visually appealing from any angle.
The Finishing Touches
Once the core structure is complete, florists add the finishing touches. Delicate filler flowers or wispy ornamental grasses may be incorporated to enhance specific areas. Twigs, berries, or other natural elements can be used to add a rustic charm or a touch of whimsy.
A final step involves ensuring the arrangement is well-hydrated. The vase is filled with fresh water mixed with a flower preservative. Florists may also mist the blooms to maintain their freshness and vibrancy.
Beyond the Basics
While the core principles remain consistent, there are various floral arrangement styles that cater to different tastes. From the classic and symmetrical European style to the more asymmetrical and free-flowing Ikebana approach, florists have a diverse repertoire to create arrangements that suit any occasion.
The Unspoken Language of Flowers
Florists understand the symbolic language of flowers. They can use specific blooms and color palettes to convey emotions and sentiments. For instance, red roses symbolize love and passion, while lilies represent purity and peace. By incorporating these symbolic elements, florists elevate their arrangements beyond visual appeal, imbuing them with deeper meaning.
A Flourishing Art Form
Flower arranging is a beautiful blend of technical expertise and artistic expression. Florists combine their knowledge of flowers, design principles, and a keen eye for detail to craft stunning arrangements that not only enhance a space but also evoke emotions. So, the next time you admire a breathtaking flower arrangement, take a moment to appreciate the artistry and dedication that bring those blooms to life. | <urn:uuid:04d917fe-dd41-49b9-8663-40564a2efa41> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://autoexpertproducts.com/the-art-of-arrangement-unveiling-the-florists-magic/ | 2024-04-13T22:08:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.892469 | 922 |
How to polish a Renault Kadjar?
Polishing your Renault Kadjar is not just about maintaining its aesthetic appeal. It also plays a crucial role in preserving the car's value and longevity. A well-polished car is a sight to behold, and when it's a Renault Kadjar, the effect is even more pronounced. This guide will walk you through the process of polishing your Renault Kadjar, ensuring it always looks its best.
Understanding the Importance of Polishing
Preserving the Car's Value
Polishing your car regularly can significantly help in maintaining its resale value. A well-maintained and polished car is a clear indication of a responsible owner, which can be a strong selling point when you decide to part ways with your Renault Kadjar.
Moreover, polishing removes minor scratches and swirl marks that can otherwise depreciate the car's value. It gives your car a fresh and new look, making it more appealing to potential buyers.
Protecting the Car's Surface
Polishing also provides a protective layer to your car's surface. It safeguards the paint from harmful elements such as bird droppings, tree sap, and harsh weather conditions. Without regular polishing, these elements can cause the paint to fade or even chip away over time.
Furthermore, the polishing process also removes dirt and grime that washing alone cannot remove. This ensures a clean and shiny surface that enhances the overall look of your Renault Kadjar.
Preparing for Polishing
Choosing the Right Products
Before you begin the process of polishing your Renault Kadjar, it's important to choose the right products. Not all car polishes are created equal, and using the wrong one can do more harm than good.
Look for a high-quality car polish that is suitable for your car's paint type. It should be able to remove minor scratches and swirl marks without damaging the paint. Additionally, consider using a car wax after polishing to add an extra layer of protection to your car's surface.
Gathering the Necessary Tools
Aside from the car polish, you will also need a few tools to complete the job. These include a polishing pad or cloth, a bucket of water, and a car wash soap. If you want to make the job easier, you can also invest in a car polishing machine.
Ensure that all your tools are clean before you start. Any dirt or debris on your tools can cause scratches on your car's surface during the polishing process.
Polishing Your Renault Kadjar
Washing the Car
The first step in the polishing process is to wash your car thoroughly. This will remove any dirt or debris that can scratch the paint during the polishing process. Use a car wash soap and a soft sponge to gently clean the car's surface.
After washing, rinse the car with clean water and dry it using a microfiber towel. Make sure the car is completely dry before you start polishing.
Applying the Polish
Once the car is clean and dry, you can start applying the polish. Pour a small amount of polish onto a polishing pad or cloth and apply it to the car's surface in a circular motion. Work on one section at a time to ensure an even application.
After applying the polish, let it dry to a haze. This usually takes a few minutes, but it can vary depending on the product you are using. Check the instructions on the product label for the recommended drying time.
Buffing the Polish
After the polish has dried, it's time to buff it off. Using a clean and dry microfiber cloth, gently buff the polish off in a circular motion. Again, work on one section at a time to ensure all the polish is removed.
Once you have buffed off all the polish, your Renault Kadjar should have a shiny and new look. If you want to add an extra layer of protection, you can apply a car wax following the same steps as the polish.
Polishing your Renault Kadjar is a simple process that can have a big impact on the car's appearance and value. With the right products and tools, you can easily do it yourself at home. Remember to polish your car regularly to keep it looking its best and to protect it from harmful elements. Happy polishing!

Specialty Physicians Who Use Ig
Ig is necessary in aiding the treatment of these illnesses. Antibodies help fight off infection for those whose immune systems are really low due to other treatments or due to the illness itself. These types of specialty physicians use Ig therapy for the following common patient diagnoses:
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Myasthenia Gravis
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP)
- Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN)
HEMATOLOGY AND ONCOLOGY

ALLERGY AND IMMUNOLOGY
- Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID)

Some diagnoses are off-label for Ig and may require additional insurance approval. | <urn:uuid:8716f6af-929d-4dc4-8c0b-3c73bb08d8e9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://axiva.com/martyp/ | 2024-04-13T22:21:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.913127 | 508 |
What is a tattoo ticket?
This “ticket” allows for you to choose one of any of the designs pictured to be tattooed by an artist of your choosing.
These are talismans designed to be tattooed small and in groups but there are no rules and these designs can be tattooed at almost any size.
I’m honoured and thankful that you have chosen to carry one of my designs on your skin.
Please select how many tattoo designs you would like. Mushrooms, stars and moons can be added for free to any tattoo ticket purchase.
A printable design sheet and receipt will be emailed to you *This is your ticket* Please use this and your receipt as proof of purchase with your desired tattoo artist.
This is not a physical product.
Warning: having any of these designs tattooed without purchasing a ticket will result in a curse being imposed on the wearer. | <urn:uuid:50dbf8d5-2c2b-4bf9-b324-e36135e0ffae> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://b-r-i-g-h-t-s-u-n.com/pages/tattoo-ticket | 2024-04-13T22:27:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.956027 | 186 |
When buying a new bike, the choice of the brand is one of the first questions to ask. Whether it is for the universe, the history, the quality, or the price, it is normal to think: is GT a good bike brand?
I am a bike lover who researched for you important information about the brand to help you know if GT bicycles are good bikes.
Let’s get started.
What is the GT bikes company?
The GT brand was created in Santa Ana, California in 1972 by Gary Turner and Richard Long.
The 50 years old brand is mainly known for having been a reference in innovative BMX bikes, but also for their “triple triangle” hardtail mountain bike, a mountain bike where the seat stays are directly attached to the top tube and not to the seat tube as on classic models.
What types of bikes does GT make now?
Today, the brand offers on its website several categories of bikes: BMX, MTBs, road bikes, electric bikes, and kids bikes.
In its catalog, we can find 100 different bicycles and frames.
Is a GT bike expensive?
Overall, the prices correspond to an overall mid-range.
As for the price, the brand offers a wide range. The cheapest model offered costs $200 (We do not take into account kids’ bikes which would distort the average price) while the maximum price is $6500.
Where can I buy a GT bike?
Many retailers are partners, including Bike24, JensonUSA, and many physical retailers around the world.
The best thing for you to do is to go directly to the manufacturer’s website. A tool is set up to find a bike as easily as possible, in a store near you or directly, if this service is available, in your mailbox (if there is enough space of course).
How reliable are GT bikes? Are GT bikes good?
From a bike of this range, the models are good, better than some people think. GT Bicycles is a long-established brand, and its reputation may have sometimes taken a beating because the brand was much less exposed than others. This hasn’t stopped GT from producing good, affordable bikes, which makes the brand competitive in its sector.
As for GT, I’d say don’t be swayed by those who criticize the brand, as they’re rarely people who’ve ever owned a GT bike. If you want to invest in a bike without breaking the bank, some models are a good opportunity to get a mid-range product that will last if properly maintained.
Of course, a bicycle remains reliable if it is used as designed. Make sure you use your machine properly.
What is the GT’s Warranty?
On the manufacturer’s website, we can read:
GT bicycles must be registered on gtbicycles.com or in person by a GT Retailer in order to activate the lifetime frame warranty described below.
Frames, excluding those listed below: Lifetime of the original owner.
Frames of Gravity, Freeride, Downhill, Dirt Jump and other ASTM Category Five Bicycles: Three years from original retail purchase.
Swing Arms, Chainstays, Seatstays, and Shock Links of Full Suspension Frames: Five years from original retail purchase.
GT Branded Forks and Unbranded Forks: The fork structure is covered under the frame warranty. The internal components are covered as GT Branded Components.
GT Branded Components: One year from original retail purchase.

So, is GT a good bike brand?
Globalement oui, si la marque existe depuis un demi siecle, ce n’est pas pour rien.
Giant permet de s’offrir des vélos de montagne a un prix raisonnable, mais selon les gammes que l’on souhaite viser, certaines marques seront plus adaptées à des riders plus experimentés.
Aussi, si vous cherchez un vélo de route, certaines marques comme Giant offriront selon moi des produits plus adaptés pour un prix similaire.
Also, when buying your future bike, do not forget to take into account its possible limits. | <urn:uuid:fda1d355-fa52-4b5b-b4bd-7e29528f9eb1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://backbiker.com/is-gt-a-good-bike-brand/ | 2024-04-13T23:48:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.911125 | 919 |
