Matured in Pinot Noir casks, this is a rich and intense malt, created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Ardbeg Committee. The Ardbeg Committee Like many distilleries, Ardbeg, based on the Isle of Islay, has an exclusive members club. Called the Committee, the club is the life blood of the distillery, keeping fans connected and introducing new malts exclusively for those involved. It even reaches right around the world and has over 120,000 members. Perhaps what is most unique about the Ardbeg Committee is that it is free to join. It is open to everyone and exists to share the joy of Ardbeg whisky. There is a special part of the Ardbeg website dedicated to Committee members and every now and then Ardbeg will release an expression just for the Committee. Often these will be made available at a later date for non-members. This is an exciting way to engage with customers, and one that while done by other distilleries, is often not free. Ardbeg open their membership to everyone and have been very successful with it so far. Ardbeg Blaaack Single Malt Scotch Whisky The Committee was first formed on the 1/1/2000, making this year their 20th anniversary. Which is pretty impressive. To celebrate, the distillery have crafted an incredible malt, matured in Pinot Noir casks from New Zealand. Never has a richer or more sophisticated malt been made. The nose begins with long notes of truffles, heather and oak wood. It is really rich and smooth. Peat smoke seeps in between. Lively citrus and fruit jam flavours appear and bring in a wonderful tartness. Baked pastries and a hint of seaside round off well. The palate is equally brilliant. It starts off with aromatic notes of aniseed and fennel, followed closely by strawberry jam and summer berries. Black cherries play a big role here, bringing a lovely sweet darkness to the flavour. This goes perfectly with the smoky, sooty peat notes. More pastries come through alongside notes of chocolate and coffee. The finish is bold, as it always is with Ardbeg. It is full of oak wood and peat smoke, which linger just long enough. Yet another excellent release from Ardbeg, this is a sumptuous and luxurious dram. We wish it could be the Committee’s 20th anniversary every year if we get to drink this! What do you think of Ardbeg and their Committee? Let us know in the comments.

Incredibly Rare 16th-Century Boxwood Carvings Are So Miniature, X-Rays Had To Be Used To Reveal Their Mysteries These wooden miniatures might look cool from a distance, but believe me, the closer you get, the more amazing the story of these 16th-century boxwood carvings becomes. Only 135 of these tiny carvings are known to exist and all of them are dated to a very short time frame, between 1500 and 1530 either in Flanders or the Netherlands. That can be explained with the emerging merchant social classes in Europe at the time, which could afford such exquisite religious items. But soon came the Reformation and expensive church-related artifacts went out of fashion. Yet during that time wood artists have created some of the most incredible miniatures ever, the making of which still puzzles the researchers untill this day. Recent micro-CT scans and Advanced 3D Analysis Software helped to uncover just how detailed these tiny altars are. The inner layers are pieced together, hiding the joints so well, that only a microscope or an X-ray can detect them. The pieces also incorporate pins, thinner than a grass seed. However, much of the production process remains unknown, because traces of gold and other decoration materials conceal the X-ray views.

Journalists viewing graphic images and videos of Israel-Hamas war take on a heavy, mental toll Said Khatib/AFP/Getty Images A smoke plume erupts during Israeli bombardment in Rafah in southern Gaza on October 19. Editor’s Note: A version of this article first appeared in the “Reliable Sources” newsletter. Sign up for the daily digest chronicling the evolving media landscape here. Burned babies. Children wearing bloodied clothes. People crying out in agony. Journalists reporting on the Israel-Hamas war from outside the immediate region are also being confronted each day with graphic imagery that they cannot look away from as they work to verify reports on the expanding conflict online and deliver the facts to the public. While the challenges are dwarfed by the myriad of horrendous troubles afflicting those residing in the Middle East, they are without question leaving many reporters working in the digital battlefield scarred, with awful scenes forever imprinted into their memories. The task is taking a particular toll on journalists whose specific roles are tasked with surfacing video and images from the war and subsequent humanitarian disaster and authenticating the imagery for use in reporting. “The challenges our journalists face pale in comparison to what people in the region are experiencing. However, viewing this graphic footage does have an impact on our team,” James Law, the editor-in-chief of Storyful, told me Wednesday. Storyful is a news organization that sifts through the vast ocean of content posted on social media. The company then verifies — or in many cases debunks — that information for other newsrooms, which saves them valuable time and resources. “As a result, it is our duty to look closely at the most confronting content posted online,” Law said. Law told me that his reporters have “been viewing extremely graphic footage as part of their daily work since the initial attack.” Such video and photographs, he explained, have included “violence, dead bodies, [and] the worst imaginable images.” “Our journalists have risen to the challenge of this incredibly difficult story, but we’re very conscious of acknowledging the toll this can take on our team members’ welfare,” Law said. The work the Storyful team is doing is happening across the news industry right now, with scores of reporters assigned the responsibility of analyzing the horror posted online and then helping their newsrooms make sense of it. Often times, viral images circulated on social media platforms turn out not to be from the current Israel-Hamas conflict, making their work crucial in separating fact from fiction. Newsrooms have recognized the mental toll that the work is taking on their journalists, with many offering support resources to their staffs. But, even with such resources, it’s difficult to unsee the realities of war. “Our journalists know what they do is critical, which gives them a sense of purpose in these situations,” Law said, “and proves an effective way of dealing with such confronting material.” ISRAEL AT WAR With at least 19 journalists reported dead since the onset of the Israel-Hamas war, the Committee to Protect Journalists joined more than 200 organizations in calling for a humanitarian ceasefire. (CPJ) “An apology to our readers”: The Philadelphia Inquirer Editorial Board said it “regrets the publication of an editorial cartoon that reinforced antisemitic tropes.” (Inquirer) “More than five dozen daily newspapers owned by investment firm Alden Global Capital ran an editorial on Wednesday urging the news media to describe Hamas as a terrorist organization,” Sara Fisher reported. (Axios) “This really is an operation in which we’ve mobilized the entire newsroom,” The WaPo’s international editor Douglas Jehl told Peter Kafka. (Apple Podcasts) A “disinformation surge” is threatening to “fuel” the conflict, Stephanie Burnett, Stephen Farrell, and Hardik Vyas reported. (Reuters) “The Israel-Hamas war shows how social media has given up on facts,” Kali Hays argued. (Insider) Stuart Thompson and Mike Isaac reported on how Hamas is “exploiting the challenge social media companies face in striking the right balance on moderation.” (NYT) Hamas has been using the internet “as a tool for terror and antisemitism, building on a playbook pioneered by the Islamic State with the aim of instilling fear, winning attention and marshaling support for potentially more attacks to come,” Drew Harwell and Elizabeth Dwoskin wrote. (WaPo) “Death in the desert”: Alexei Barrionuevo and Natalie Korach took an in-depth look at the Israeli rave attacked by Hamas terrorists. The piece features unseen photography from the festival itself by Ido Derby and Liav Franko. (TheWrap) Noah Lanard sat down with Haggai Matar — who famously declined to serve in the IDF and later became a journalist for Haaretz and other Israeli outlets — to discuss the nightmarish reality of war. (Mother Jones) The Golden Globes donated $75,000 to the Committee to Protect Journalists, expressing its “commitment to support the courageous journalists who take tremendous personal risks to shed light on events and keep the world informed.” (THR) Quentin Tarantino visited troops in Israel to “boost morale.” (THR) The Cairo Film Festival was canceled due to the war.

Coming in a future update, WhatsApp will let you send images and videos in their best quality. Table of Content WhatsApp compression: New image and video quality options As reported by WABetaInfo, the Facebook-owned service is testing three quality options when sending images and video to help people optimized their bandwidth consumption. The following compression settings are being tested for photo and video uploads: - Auto (recommended):WhatsApp chooses the best compression for specific media - Best quality:Applies less compression to send media in the best quality - Data saver:Applies compression when the Data Saver option is turned on It’s unclear when WhatsApp might stop testing these handy new upload compression controls in the Android beta and roll them out publicly to all users. The company typically kicks off a staggered rollout of a feature after testing it for a few weeks, so there’s that. The company is also testing other unreleased features, like multi-device support for using WhatsApp across multiple devices at once without having to keep the mobile app running. Moreover, WhatsApp is working on password-protected encrypted iCloud backups, the ability to transfer your whole conversation archive from iPhone to Android, vanishing media and more. Why you need WhatsApp’s media quality settings This is another welcome future addition to the world’s most popular messaging app. WhatsApp currently applies some amount of compression when sending media in chats, but there are no user-facing controls to adjust the image and video quality for these uploads. With this change, people will be able to choose more compression to save their bandwidth on the go. Conversely, the Best Quality option should be safe to use if you have unlimited cellular data or are connected to your home network or a public Wi-Fi one.

Islamabad September 26 2021: Chairman Federal Board of Revenue, Dr.Muhammad Ashfaq Ahmad accompanied by Syed Tariq Huda Member(Customs Operations) and Mr.Saeed Jadoon Member (Customs Policy) today visited Torkham Border and reviewed the pace and quality of services being provided by Pakistan Customs to facilitate trade between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Immediately after his arrival, he ensured the clearance of about 1400 trucks loaded with fruit from Afghanistan which had got stuck at the border. The Customs staff assured him to accelerate the process of 100 more trucks awaiting clearance. Earlier, he held an important meeting with traders from both sides of the border and assured them of every possible assistance by FBR in ensuring smooth and easy flow of bilateral trade. He positively hoped that the Customs staff posted there will maintain the highest standards of professional conduct in discharge of their official duty. It is pertinent to mention that on Friday FBR had issued an important circular granting special exemption from Sales Tax to the import of fresh fruit from Afghanistan.This rare concession by FBR is being appreciated by traders from both sides as a landmark decision which will certainly promote trade between the two neighboring countries.

- Boosts network capacity in northeast US, giving broadcasters and sports leagues access to 100Gbit fiber connectivity - Powers broader industry shift to remote production - Supports higher-capacity content services while allowing more feeds to be delivered to production hubs New York – November 12, 2020 – The Switch, a leading provider of production services and global delivery of live video, announces a major network expansion strategy to support more live content services and drive the industry’s transition to remote production. In Phase One of a broader network expansion project, The Switch is deploying 100Gbit connectivity to serve its customers in the northeast United States; further phases to extend capacity on the west coast and in other parts of the country will follow. The move positions The Switch to drive future growth, enhancing its extensive range of live production and delivery services – particularly for live sports. Phase One of the project extends The Switch’s current connectivity in New England and other parts of the northeast with the installation of higher-capacity connections into media and sports hubs in the region, including Boston, New York, Stamford and Bristol, Connecticut. Eric Cooney, President and CEO of The Switch, comments: “Increasing our network capacity across a core part of The Switch network is a huge commitment to our customers that ensures we are able to meet their evolving and expanding needs. As a remote production pioneer, we give our customers unprecedented agility, enabling them to shape their businesses in ways that make sense for them. Each phase of our network expansion strategy will help fuel the industry shift towards new and more flexible production and distribution models, which has accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic.” The upgrade project launches at a time when The Switch is seeing a substantial year-on-year surge in network traffic, which along with growing demand for its production services, makes the availability of higher-capacity delivery more critical than ever. The expansion project follows another initiative that offers The Switch’s customers greater flexibility, the recent launch of its comprehensive new Production-as-a-Service offering, MIMiC, which enables cloud-based production from anywhere in the world. At the core of The Switch network upgrade are the latest Nimbra solutions from Net Insight, The Switch’s long-standing network technology partner. The new 100Gbit fiber ring network leverages the Nimbra 1060 next-generation – ultra high capacity media transport platforms designed specifically for all-IP networks and services. The upgrade also includes Nimbra 680 carrier-class multiservice media routers and edge compute devices. Highly modular and redundant, the Nimbra installations allow The Switch to leverage a single platform for all media and network functions and deploy network resources flexibly to best meet its customers’ needs. Robert Szabo-Rowe, The Switch’s Senior Vice President of Engineering and Product Management, notes: “Net Insights’ Nimbra equipment is the backbone of our expansion project, providing a best-in-class foundation for The Switch network that ensures we provide seamless, low-latency and redundant delivery services to our customers. Enabling them to focus on the creation of stunning live content is at the heart of our vision and continued drive to innovate with new services. We are excited about extending our support for a more diverse range of production models that will futureproof the broadcasters, streaming services and other content producers we work with.”

Benchmark U.S. Treasury yields neared the key 3 percent level on Thursday as better-than-expected U.S. economic data reinforced views the Federal Reserve could wind down its massive bond buying program soon, prompting a global bond rout. A report from the Institute for Supply Management showed services industries in August posted their fastest growth since December 2005, well above expectations. Yields on 10-year Treasurys surged to 25-month highs after the news, notching a fourth straight session of gains. "You are seeing a normalization in the economy so you should see a normalization in rates," said Craig Elder, fixed income strategist at Baird Private Wealth Management in Milwaukee. Elder and other analysts say the 10-year yield could break above 3 percent if the government's August payrolls report, due Friday, adds support for a Fed pullback on the bank's monthly purchass of $85 billion of Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities. As the world's biggest economy has grown stronger, Fed policymakers have increasingly hinted they are looking to wind down the so-called quantitative easing program. The labor market will be a key factor in the Fed's decision. Policymakers want to see the unemployment rate closer to 6.5 percent; July's rate was 7.4 percent. A solid payrolls figure could help convince the Fed that withdrawing some of their stimulus won't stall a labor market recovery. But a disappointing payrolls report – or suggestions that the United States is getting closer to a military strike against Syria to punish that country for using chemical weapons – could easily push the 10-year yield to 2.75 percent, analysts say. Still, U.S. economic data have been mixed enough that tapering at the Fed's Sept. 17-18 meeting is not a given. For example, U.S. private employers added 176,000 jobs in August, according to payrolls processor ADP on Thursday. That number was strong, but not strong enough to ease jitters about the upcoming nonfarm payrolls report. "This number is not a definitive number for the Fed to taper. This makes some people worry about tomorrow's payrolls number, but I still think it will be a decent one," said Robbert van Batenburg, director of market strategy at Newedge USA LLC in New York. Economists polled by Reuters forecast U.S. employers added 180,000 jobs in August, leaving the unemployment rate unchanged from July at 7.4 percent, the lowest since December 2008. Benchmark 10-year Treasury notes traded down 26/32 in price late Thursday, lifting the yield to 2.992 percent from 2.897 percent late Wednesday. The 10-year yield hit a session high of 2.994 percent on Thursday, a level not seen since July 2011. Short- and medium-term maturities were hit hard again on fears the Fed might raise short-term rates not too long after it stops buying Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities. The two-year note yield traded above 0.50 percent for the first time since June 2011. It last traded at 0.514 percent, from 0.47 percent late on Wednesday. Trading volume was heavy with $298 billion of Treasurys changing hands as of noon, 58 percent above its 20-day average, according to data from ICAP, the world's largest broker of U.S. government debt. Investors also dumped foreign bonds, sending German and British 10-year government debt yields to their highest levels in 1-1/2-years and since July 2011, respectively . Traders received other snapshots on U.S. labor conditions on Thursday. The Labor Department said Americans filing for unemployment benefits fell to 323,000 last week, matching the level in the week of Aug. 11, which was the lowest reading since January 2008. On the other hand, planned layoffs rose in August to 50,462, which was the highest level since February, Challenger, Gray & Christmas said. On the supply front, the Fed bought $3.357 billion in Treasurys due November 2020 to August 2023, which was part of its planned $45 billion in government debt purchases in September. The Treasury Department, as expected, pared its three-year debt offering for next week by $1 billion to $31 billion, which was the smallest amount since January 2009 when it reintroduced this maturity. Meanwhile, the Treasury will reopen prior 10-year and 30-year issues at $21 billion and $13 billion, respectively . The auction sizes matched the previous reopenings for these longer maturities in July. © 2024 Thomson/Reuters. All rights reserved.

The formidable Raiden Shogun, also known as Raiden Ei or Baal, has made waves in the Genshin Impact community since her introduction as the main antagonist in the Inazuma storyline. Now, players can rejoice as a Raiden Shogun rerun banner is confirmed in the second half of the Genshin Impact 3.3 update. To help you harness her true potential, we’ve compiled an extensive guide on the best Raiden Shogun build, including weapon choices, artefact sets, team compositions, and even tips for free-to-play (F2P) gamers. Equipo Arconte ~ Furina v4.2‼️ • Furina, Nahida, Raiden Shogun & Venti — ArthZERO (@arth_Z3R0) October 24, 2023 Weapon and Artifacts: Raiden Shogun Weapon: Engulfing Lightning (Polearm) Raiden Shogun wields her Electro polearm with unparalleled grace, which makes Engulfing Lightning the optimal weapon for her. This custom polearm increases her attack by 28% over the base value, granting an astonishing 80% bonus attack. Furthermore, it bestows 30% energy recharge for 12 seconds after using her elemental burst, ensuring a consistent attack bonus each time this powerful ability is activated. Alternatives to Engulfing Lightning include the Staff of Homa, which bolsters HP by 20% and provides an attack bonus based on max HP, and the Primordial Jade Winged-Spear, which boosts attack by 3.2% with each successful hit (stackable up to 7 times) and an additional 12% attack bonus upon achieving the maximum stack. Artefacts: Emblem of Severed Fate (Four-Piece) The Emblem of Severed Fate is the designated artifact set for Raiden Shogun. Its two-piece bonus offers a substantial 20% increase in energy recharge rate. More importantly, the four-piece set enhances her elemental burst damage by 25% of her energy recharge (up to a maximum of 75%). Given Raiden’s energy-hungry abilities, this build ensures a constant and potent energy source, allowing her to unleash her formidable powers without interruption. Team Composition: Raiden Shogun Raiden Shogun’s energy-focused playstyle calls for specific team compositions to maximize her effectiveness. A primary DPS character like Kazuha is a solid choice to eliminate enemies while Raiden’s elemental skill is active. Combining Electro with Anemo elements creates the Swirl reaction, dealing substantial area-of-effect damage. Raiden Shogun, being a unique support character, spends time off the field after using her elemental skill, but her elemental burst demands her presence on the battlefield. Therefore, she fulfills a support and sub-DPS hybrid role. The newly released Yae Miko complements her well, as she also requires a battery character for energy recharge. Alternatively, pairing Raiden with a Cryo character like Rosaria or Eula enhances damage output, while running two Cryo characters could maximize damage potential through Superconduct, reducing enemies’ physical defence by 50%. F2P Raiden Shogun Build For free-to-play players or those looking to optimize Raiden Shogun without extensive spending, there are excellent options: *Weapon: The Catch – A free alternative weapon obtainable by catching rare fish. *Artifact Set: Severed Fate (Four-Piece) – Accessible through the Momiji-Dyed Court domain, this artifact set is the best choice for Raiden Shogun among F2P players. Another viable option is The Exile set, focusing on energy recharge and Elemental Burst interactions. Ideal F2P Team Composition for Raiden Shogun A potent F2P team composition for Raiden Shogun comprises Xingqio, Xiangling, and Bennett. Xingqio and Xiangling excel as sub-DPS characters, while Bennett takes on the role of a versatile healer. As the anticipation for the Raiden Shogun rerun banner in Genshin Impact’s 3.3 update grows, players now have the knowledge to craft the perfect build for this electrifying character. Whether you’re a spender or a F2P player, maximizing Raiden Shogun’s potential is within your grasp. With the right weapon, artefact set, and team composition, you can lead your party to victory and dominate the world of Teyvat with Raiden Shogun’s electrifying power.

Sec. Of Education: Graduation Rates 'Nothing We Can Be Proud Of' MICHEL MARTIN, HOST: I'm Michel Martin and this is TELL ME MORE from NPR News. Today, we are talking about education just as students across the country are heading back to school and many are observing the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. One of the cornerstones of the civil rights movement has always been access to quality education. Martin Luther King Jr. himself touted the issue, and many political leaders, including President Obama, have called it the civil rights issue of our time. So we're going to start off that conversation today with the nation's top education official, Education Secretary Arne Duncan, and you. We've been asking for your questions and comments on Twitter. You can continue to join the conversation using the #NPRedchat. We will share as many of those questions and comments as we can over the course of the hour. That being said, welcome back to the program, Mr. Secretary. Thank you for joining us on this historic week. ARNE DUNCAN: Thanks for having me again. I really appreciate the opportunity. MARTIN: You reiterated this point that education is a civil rights issue of our time earlier today at an appearance you made at a local Washington school - a highly touted one. You used some pretty strong language to make that case. You said that civil rights is more than just the absence of chains, it's more than the power to vote, civil rights means having the same opportunities that other people do, regardless of what you look like, where you come from or whom you love. So having said all that, what grade do you give this country's schools in meeting that objective at this point in our history? DUNCAN: Well, we've seen real progress, but we have, frankly, a long way to go. And so on the progress side, to see high school graduation rates at all-time highs, to see college-going rates increasing pretty significantly - and that's being led by more and more African-American, Latino students not just graduating from high school, but going to college - those trends are positive. But by any measure, we still have huge achievement gaps. We have far too many African-American, Latino students who are still dropping out. If you look internationally at our competition, we used to lead the world in college graduation rates. Today we're 12th. There's nothing we can be proud of. So I feel, frankly, a huge sense of urgency, proud of the progress, but a long, long way to go. And we have to keep getting better, faster. MARTIN: A lot of the comments that we've been getting from our listeners on Twitter suggest that some of these problems are self-inflicted, even that they are self-inflicted wounds even by well-intended programs like, for example, No Child Left Behind. That's - over the weekend, you wrote an opinion piece in the Post where you said that said No Child Left Behind is, quote, outmoded and broken. We got a lot of questions from listeners on this point. For example, Melinda Solis reached out to us on Facebook. She's an education student at the University of Michigan, and she wrote, I'm so excited to become a teacher, but standardized testing makes many people shy away from this career field. I don't want to waste students' time by teaching them how to pass a test instead of actually learning something. Do you think that's fair? DUNCAN: I absolutely agree with that concern, and one of the reasons I've been so adamant at pushing to fix what I think is a broken No Child Left Behind law is, there is an overemphasis just on a single test score. Let me be really clear. I'm all for accountability. We need to hold ourselves as adults and educators accountable for student progress. I do want to know how much they're improving each year, so their growth in gain, but we have to move way beyond test scores. And we wanted to fix the law. We wanted to fix it in a bipartisan way. Unfortunately, Congress has been dysfunctional. They've been broken. So what we've done is we've provided waivers directly to states. And what you see states doing some, I think, really, really creative and courageous things - moving beyond the focus on test score, looking at our graduation rates improving, our dropout rates, you know, going down. Are more high school graduates actually going on to higher education? Are they doing that and not needing remedial classes? Are they persevering? And so when Congress gets its act together and wants to work together to fix the law in a bipartisan way, I desperately hope they'll take the best ideas from - that we're seeing coming from states. That could be a really exciting law. MARTIN: Name one. DUNCAN: Name one state? MARTIN: Name one best idea from a state. DUNCAN: Again, this idea of moving accountability from the focus on a test score to looking at improving graduation rates, reducing dropout rates and increasing the number of students going on to some form of higher education and being successful there. MARTIN: One of the perennial questions about whether education still helps students advance is, what's most important? Is it what goes on at school or is it what goes on at home? And we got a number of questions on that score, as well. This one is from Maria Castro (ph). She's a literary specialist teaching seventh and eighth grade students in the Bronx. She says a lot of her students face problems that make it hard for them to learn. Let's play that clip. (SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVAL RECORDING) MARIA CASTRO: If the police was in their house last night or something happened at home, there is no way that they're going to be able to enter school in the morning and shut that off and just worry about academics. So how do we address that problem? MARTIN: How about it? DUNCAN: So as you know, Michel, I spent my entire childhood working in the inner-city on the South Side, Chicago as part of my mother's tutoring program. And when you have families that are plagued by violence, when you have children being shot and killed on a regular basis, as I have experienced for far too long growing up on the South Side, those can have devastating impacts. But it's incumbent upon us as educators to make schools safe havens. And so we need to do many things. If children need eyeglasses, we need to get them eyeglasses. If children need to be fed, we need to feed them. When I led Chicago public schools, we fed tens of thousands of children three meals a day, and I got some, you know, criticism for that. But if children's, you know, bellies are growling, it's hard for them to learn. Social workers, counselors - we need to do everything we can to help those students overcome those very real obstacles of poverty, of violence, of hunger and then be successful academically. But I'm going to be really, really clear, those are very real challenges we need to address thoughtfully and systemically every single day, but poverty is never destiny. Poverty is never destiny. The way we break cycles of poverty is through high-quality education. That's the path to the middle class. MARTIN: If you're just joining us, we're speaking with Education Secretary Arne Duncan. You can join us on Twitter using the #NPRedchat. Speaking of the path to the middle class, I'm going to talk about an issue that has received a lot of attention locally, in recent weeks. We've been talking a lot about K-12. This is an issue that addresses higher education. As you know, the Obama administration changed the debt load standards for parents. And a number - you received a letter, I know from the heads of a number of the HBCU saying this is having a devastating effect on the ability of some of their institutions to enroll students who have already been accepted. I mean, the president of one institution said he had as many as 300 students, out of an undergraduate student body of 6,900, who might not be able to reenroll because of very minor issues on parents' credit reports like, you know, an unpaid cell phone bill or, for example, the perennial issue affecting many low-income parents, which is unpaid medical debts. Now how do you justify this at a time when you're saying that higher education is the key to getting into the middle-class, making it harder for these parents to enroll their children in school? DUNCAN: So where families had those grants or loans in the past and were denied, we have a number they can call to reapply again. The acceptance rate there is extraordinarily high. And what we want to do is find the right balance. So there's much more flexibility there than the past. But at the end of the day, we want to try, and as best we can, balance the interests of taxpayers and families, young people themselves, schools, and we have to think about all these things together. But where families have had access to loans in the past and were denied, we strongly encourage them to reapply and the success rate there is extraordinarily high. MARTIN: I'm curious, though, about the priorities here. I mean, the administration has just unveiled a whole package of initiatives aimed at lowering the cost of higher education, encouraging institutions to take a hard look at their own costs, but a number of these require, you know, congressional effort, but this is a regulatory issue. Why is this your priority? DUNCAN: Well, it's not the priority. The priority is making college more affordable and frankly, we worry a lot about the amount of debt that's out there. There's a trillion dollars in debt. One thing we worry a lot about is families getting buried in debt and if the young people aren't graduating from college you have all this debt and then, you know, don't have the ability to make a good income... MARTIN: ...I mean, isn't that patronizing though? I mean, aren't you making a decision for the families that perhaps is theirs to make for themselves? DUNCAN: No, the families can absolutely make that decision, but what we want to try and do - big picture - is make college much more affordable and that's what the president's challenged us to do. I can't tell you every time... MARTIN: How does this make college more affordable - by making it more difficult for low-income parents to achieve loans to allow their children to enroll, thereby achieving the kind of education that is supposed to launch them into the middle-class? DUNCAN: So, to be very clear, if they don't have access to the parent PLUS Loan there are other grants that they are automatically - have access to and in fact, those grants have gone up. So we want to make sure we're doing the right thing there, but again, don't want folks to be buried in debt that they can't pay back. A trillion dollars in debt out there, we have to make college much more affordable for the average hard-working American family who's starting to think that college is for rich folks, it's not for them. There's something fundamentally wrong with that picture. MARTIN: Before we let you go, we talked to one of your predecessors as education secretary earlier in the week. Former Education Secretary Rod Paige, he served in the administration of President George W. Bush. And I asked him if he had a magic wand and he could wave it and move this country in any particular direction, vis-a-vis education, what would it be? And he said that he thought that teachers are just too caught up in bureaucracy and what they really need is time to connect with students. So if you could wave that wand, in what direction would you wave it? DUNCAN: The fight we're having as a country right now, Michel, is - is education an investment or is it an expense? And I desperately believe education is an investment and the best investment we can make. But we have far too many political leaders who think education is an expense that we can cut in tough economic times. Every child needs access to high-quality early childhood education. Every child needs access to grade schools, K-12, and then again college has to be - higher education has to be affordable for them. We have far too many political leaders who think we can cut back on early childhood ed, cut back on K-12, cut back on higher ed and that's a real problem. Two very concrete examples that are deeply troubling me today, you have hard-working teachers in states like North Carolina that are actually, you know, going on food stamps to pay the bills because their salary is so low. You have a city like Philadelphia where I'm desperately worried children are going to receive an inferior education because politicians fail to invest in public education. So these are challenges, you know, today that we're struggling with and we need it at every level, local, state, at the national level. I think for us to strengthen families, for us to help young people, to help our country we have to invest in high-quality education from cradle to career. MARTIN: We have only about a minute left, but do you wish that there were a March on Washington for education - just for education? DUNCAN: Well, again... MARTIN: ...Would you like to see that? DUNCAN: Absolutely, and I've said that, you know, education is the civil rights issue of our time, and if you can ride in the front of the bus but you are poorly educated - you cannot read - you are still not truly free. MARTIN: So much to talk about, Mr. Secretary. We hope you'll come back and speak with us again over the course of the school year. DUNCAN: Would love the opportunity, thank you so much. MARTIN: Arne Duncan is the U.S. secretary of education. He was kind enough to join us here in our studios in Washington, D.C. Mr. Secretary, thank you again. DUNCAN: Next time. MARTIN: We're hearing from teachers, parents and students on Twitter. Ross Dunning Murray (ph) says, teachers should be evaluated by what they do, not how long they've done it. And Chad Lemon tweeted, education is more than a civil right, it's an essential foundation for a sustained democracy. You can add your voice at #NPRedchat. Stay with us on TELL ME MORE from NPR News.

RoR North NL The Rhythms of Resistance (RoR) network of activist percussion bands comprises more than 75 separate activist drumming bands all over the world, RoR North NL is one of those. RoR is descended from the pink and silver “tactical frivolity” bloc (aka the “silly stunts and fluffy stuff” section) of the anti-Globalisation campaigns of the 1990s and early 2000s. As such, the use of tactical frivolity, carnival and creativity are a defining hallmark of bands in the RoR network (it is also why many of the bands in the RoR network wear pink when out and about). All the bands in the RoR network play the same tunes and try and use the same hand signals. This means at large events, different bands can join up to form a large and exuberant bateria. RoR bands work on a decentralised and democratic basis. All decisions within each band are made by consensus. No-one is “in charge” and those who have just joined the band have the same voice as those who have been members for many years. Each band operates independently, joining campaigns and actions that they themselves support, but they may join together for national demos etc. At large events, where multiple bands meet up and play together, mestres may come from any of the bands present, swapping in and out as mood and movement takes them. Although each band in the network is a independent entity answerable only to its members, they all share some common beliefs and values that define the Rhythms of Resistance network as a whole - work space/diy

Representing Chicago and the Entire State of Illinois So you are at work and just trying to do a good job. The company is paying you to work, it’s not a place to date. However, many times the boss or other employees don’t realize that. So what happens when the boss has other ideas? He wants to engage in a relationship with you and you think he really wants a sexual relationship with you. What if anything can you do? And what should you do? And how do you keep your job, while still rejecting the bosses sexual advances or advances he disguises as non-sexual but you really know they are? First, you want to make sure you document what is taking place. Keep a journal and make sure you indicate the date, time and what exactly is being said. If there are any people around who can hear what is taking place, write their names down too. A good detailed journal can be very helpful down the road in helping you prove your case. When possible try to send a follow up email to the boss where you can put things in it that help make your journal believable. For example, you can say thanks for stopping by the desk today to discuss project ABC and also thank you for commenting about how nice I looked and asking about taking me to dinner. It took me off guard so I am sorry if I seemed flustered. By putting this in an email, you have proof of what the boss said–unless he emails back and says what they heck are you talking about. If the advances continue go to step two. Second, reject the sexual advances. Make sure the harasser knows that you have no interest and just want to do your job. You should send the harasser and email, stating that you appreciate his interest in you, but you don’t feel the same way and just want to do your job and nothing more–print and save a copy. If the harasser is sending you text messages keep them. It is even helpful if you reject his advances via text so you have a record of rejecting his advances. If you get any emails, text messages or voice messages from the harasser keep them. Third, report the conduct to human resources or any other member of management and document this as well. Many times, a person will be subjected to retaliation for reporting sexual harassment. You must be prepared for this and all of the documentation you have will help. Don’t all human resources to sweep the matter under the rug. And make sure you hire a Chicago sexual harassment lawyer. The company will have legal counsel protecting their rights, make sure you do as well. All of these steps can help you if you need to file a sexual harassment claim with the Illinois Department of Human Rights or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. A sexual harassment lawyer involved early in the process can help you maximize your rights and remedies. Given the current climate and focus on protecting the rights of women from sexual harassment, most companies pay attention when they get a letter from an employment lawyer on behalf of an employee. Don’t wait until you suffer some negative job action. Contact a lawyer as soon as the harassment begins. Protect your rights by contacting an Illinois sexual harassment lawyer at the beginning of your employment issues, not at the end. The sooner he gets involved the better off you will be. It is never too early to get in touch and discuss your issues. Don’t let the sexual harassment get to the point where your job is on the line. Fill out the contact form or call us at 312.505.5038 to schedule your free consultation.

The traditional definition of yoga is “union” and to us it means this: When we bring all our parts and many layers of ourselves together, we know ourselves in a deeper way. We feel supported inside, united, grounded. We feel more complete and self-confident and this leads us to a sense of connection with our divine nature. Without this type of integration, we tend to live with underlying fear, anger, sadness, or that ever-present blaming someone else for our own issues. With this integration, we magnify our power to create more beauty, more awareness, more elevated consciousness, more love. At Grounded, we are dedicated to teaching Yoga to Kids, Teens and Adults and training others to do the same. In developing our Grounded programs, we utilize these core principles in developing methods and practices based on the following tenets: - Yoga is more than an activity, it is a way of life. - Grounded yogis work on applying what they learn on the mat into their lives, such as appreciation for the good in everything - We align our bodies, our minds and hearts - We celebrate life no matter what - We work to make new habits that will gradually replace the undesirable ones that no longer serve us. As we teach all different age groups, we are privileged to be gaining an astonishing view of our ever-changing world. In our kid and teen classes we often ask students to define the word “yoga.” Read their authentic responses. “Yoga calms me and makes me feel good. Yoga opens my heart and melts it. It teaches that being quiet can be a good thing.” Nyjah 3rd grade “Yoga is Flowers blooming in the winter. It is fun, cool, love and yay!” Meg 2nd Grade “Life is like a Taco. Without cheese it’s nothing, with cheese, it is everything. Yoga is the cheese.” Catherine 5th grade “Yoga is learning and trusting. Yoga is for life. Yoga is life. Live it. “ Allessandra 5th grade “Yoga is butterflies sucking nectar from flowers.” Spencer 3rd grade Yoga is when a picture has no color and then it gets color from fun poses that melt your heart” Ava 3rd grade “Yoga is a wonderful star that floats on the water and sees the happiness of the light.” Janice 4th grade “Yoga is having fun on a bad day.” Ella 1st grade “Yoga is love plus fun” Bridget and Charlotte 1st grade “Yoga is being grounded when you feel silly” Joe 1st grade “Yoga is guacamole with chips. Without the guacamole the chips would not taste as good. Without yoga, life would not taste as good.” Jack Elliotte 5th grade “Yoga takes out the trash. P.S. It replaces it with a present.” Koan 2nd grade “Yoga is like a soothing sea.” Kheyal 4th grade “Yoga is a relaxing thing to do. It calms me down. I LOVE YOGA. P.S. Yoga makes my day!

It’s an epidemic that has spread throughout the nation, and it’s leaving an increasing number of victims in its wake. As the process of smoking has evolved, an increasing number of people are now reliant on e-cigarettes and marijuana vaping pens for their smoking fixes. Originally promoted as a “healthier” option than cigarettes and hand rolled “joints” -- which are laden with tar and other unhealthy chemicals that can cause a range of illnesses including cancer -- vaping has become one of our country’s newest health threats. As of today, there have been at least 71 reported cases throughout New York State (14 in New York City alone) of severe lung illnesses attributed to the use of cannabis vape products. After tests, physicians found that the victims had high levels of vitamin E acetate, which “damages air sacks in the lungs when inhaled,” Dr. Howard Zucker told Patch. Black market products, such as “Sour Patch,” “Runtz,” and “Diamond OG,” are reportedly filled with cannabis and vitamin E acetate. In order to determine what health risks these products pose, Patch has reported that three companies -- Honey Cut Labs LLC, Floraplex Terpenes and Mass Terpenes – have received subpoenas from the New York State Department of Health. Although the authorities have not found any of the vitamin E acetate in legal vaping devices sold in stores, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo advised consumers to stay clear of these products as the government’s investigation is underway. “We don’t know what you’re smoking in a lot of these vaping substances,” Governor Andrew Cuomo noted at a recent press conference in Manhattan. During this interim period, Dr. Zucker agrees that people should “err on the side of caution until we have more information.” # # # If you are the victim of a defective or hazardous consumer product, please feel free to give one of our attorneys a call at 212-619-5400. # # #

This article addresses one of the largest connections within a dwelling unit and, in all likelihood, the largest branch circuit: the range and/or the oven. Although obvious that we should ensure that it is being connected properly, this connection is seldom checked. All-electric units can be up to 50 amps. The possibility of an improperly installed and connected unit can result in a higher amperage fault, which may result in dramatic failure. These connections are located where they are not usually visible, and they may be in storage areas, both of which add to the possibility of increased danger. Let’s explore the installation process for these electrical appliances. The electrician provides the branch circuit for the unit using a 4-wire circuit consisting of two ungrounded, one grounded, and one equipment grounding conductor. The conductors are roughed into a junction box, which may be plastic or metal. If it is metal, then a connection is made to the box with the equipment grounding conductor. When installed into a plastic box, we may have a couple of issues. First, a normal receptacle or switch box that has pre-formed cable entries for 14 to 10 AWG cable assemblies is not approved for larger cable assemblies such as 8 to 6 AWG four-conductor cable assemblies. Therefore, the installation would require a box with factory cable entries listed for larger cables or traditional knockouts and a properly sized and listed cable connector. Due to the fact we have a plastic box, there is no connection point for an equipment grounding conductor — yet. See Photo 1. During the trim process, the electrician installs a blank cover on the box as the range or oven is not on site yet. Now we may start to have a problem. If we have a metallic blank cover installed on the plastic rough-in box, do we ground it? No, because it is just temporary? If it has a knock-out in the cover, is this the location where the connection will be made? There are several unknowns at this point. Also, who does the final connection when the appliance finally arrives on site? Does the electrician come back and make the connection? This would make sense since this is an electrical connection of a large branch circuit that we should make sure is done safely and is arguably just as important as the main service connections or the sub-panel connections, right? I wish this were the case. However, for well over 20 years while involved in the dwelling construction environment, seldom did we ever see the electrician make the final connection of these appliances. The final installation is typically performed by the truck driver/delivery person, who is trying to perform his work as fast as possible. When we checked with the appliance suppliers, we asked if they hired any electricians to do these installs and the answer was no. So we have an unqualified delivery person making the final connections and completing the installations. Personally, this does not give me a warm feeling. So while we are on my personal feelings, let me expound on the issue as I see it. From a liability perspective, I have always liked a clear dividing line between the work performed by the electrician and the utilization equipment. A great way to establish this dividing line is at the receptacle (plug) connection. The electrical system from the main service to the receptacle face is the responsibility of the electrician; everything plugged into that receptacle is the responsibility of the owner or maker of the equipment being used. So with that said, why don’t we follow this procedure for range/oven installations? If I am the electrician and I install a properly sized receptacle – say, a 50 amp 4-wire unit — then I have done my job, and my responsibility stops at the face of that receptacle. When the appliance is delivered, they can install a NEMA approved 125/250V 50A range power supply cord and simply plug in the unit. Simple, right? Too bad we do not live in a perfect world. So is this what we see? Unfortunately no, and the main reason is that the appliance manufacturers do not make or list their equipment to be used with an approved NEMA supply cord. Instead, they have a flexible metallic raceway with conductors that may have a higher temperature rating because the outside of the appliance may have elevated temperatures. This raceway does not have a connector on the end that can be field connected. Sometimes we see a NEMA 14-50P cord cap installed on the flex that would allow you to plug in the flexible whip. There are two issues with this, one of which is making a grounding connection to the flexible raceway. The second is that these cord caps are not tested and listed to be used on flexible raceways, only for flexible cords, so this is not a permissible use per the listing. To do the connection correctly, the appliance installer has to use the proper connector, provide proper grounding of the metallic raceway, and make the correct electrical connections. The installation requirements from the manufacturers are very similar. I have reviewed those from the five major appliance makers, and they all have the same metallic flexible whip and similar instructions and pictorials of the proper installation. See Photo 2. Generally, the boxes roughed in by the electricians are flush with the finished wall, which doesn’t provide any available knock-outs for the raceway entry. As you can see in the illustration of the installation instructions, they show the flexible conduit entry into the side of a junction box. So to do the installation according to the manufacturer’s instructions, a box extension would have to be installed on the flush box to follow the illustrated instructions. If the box is metal and a proper connector is used, this will solve any grounding issues. If the rough-in box is plastic then grounding becomes a little more difficult. Do you install a metallic extension box and then ground it? If you use a plastic extension box, then you would have to use a bonding bushing on the connector to properly ground the flexible metallic raceway used by the appliance maker. Would the connector have enough threads for a lock nut and a bonding bushing? All are issues that have to be addressed. The most common installation I have seen is a metallic blank box cover with a knock-out through which they install an angled flex connector. When installing this solution on a plastic box, the grounding again becomes an issue and should be checked. We have covered the grounding and bonding issues, the box rough-in and making the mechanical connections of the factory flexible wiring whips. Now let’s look at the electrical connections of the circuit conductors. The flexible whips that come attached to the appliances have copper conductors. If the branch circuit conductors are copper, then we simply have to make sure we use a mechanical connector that is listed for copper conductors and sized properly for the conductors being connected. Examples of these could be a twist on wire connector, split bolts, or insulated terminal blocks, all listed for copper connections. The most common branch circuit wiring we commonly see for range/ovens is Type SE Style R aluminum cable assembly, generally with 6 AWG circuit conductors. This represents a connection issue that may seem mundane and easy to solve for electricians. However, to appliance delivery people who are not electricians, this could become an issue due to code ignorance. The appliance installers are there to do their job as fast as possible and move to the next delivery. They generally carry twist on wire connectors. A flex ninety fitting gets put on the end of the flex, into a blank metallic cover it goes, four twist on connectors, and two screws to secure the cover to the box, then off they go. So what is the proper way to make the dissimilar metal terminations? First, you have to find a connector that is listed for both copper and aluminum. This is not as hard as it seems, but you have to verify. There are CU/AL split bolts, which will require a proper insulating material to be installed on the split bolt, such as rubber tape and then electrical tape to equal the wire insulation thickness. Another way is to find an insulated terminal block that is listed CU/AL. These are usually made from insulated aluminum terminal blocks and provide an excellent terminal for the aluminum conductor. However, they have to have a copper flash and then a tin plating to be approved for the copper conductor. So they need to be checked, and they should clearly be listed CU/AL. See photos 3 and 4. When I was electrical inspections supervisor, I would tell my inspectors doing residential work that they didn’t need to check every appliance, but they did need to randomly check by asking the superintendent to pull an oven from time to time and check the connections. If they found the connections done incorrectly, then we would have them pull more to insure the others were done properly. If those were good, we would continue with random checks. Word gets out, and soon the issues get cleared up since the builders hate to pull these units over and over again. A superintendent for one of the larger buildings locally, who I used to work with, specifically checks the appliance installations on his projects. He kindly provided some of the photos for this article. He has shared that they have had issues with improper installations, and he feels it is important to check all the connections. The idea of having a clear dividing line between the electricians and the appliance installer will help to protect the electrician when and if a failure occurs and help prove who is responsible for the liability issues. When a failure happens, it is usually the electrician that gets the call and the blame. After all, it is an electrical issue right? However, we know that it is probably an issue caused by the appliance installer, who is long gone and never gets the blame. Since these appliances are often the largest loads connected within our dwelling units, with up to fifty amps of current that could heat and cause an arcing condition and result in a fire condition, it is critical to make sure the connections are done properly. This is probably an inspection point that many inspectors never check. I hope I have shared with you some of the issues and possibilities of failures that could be caused by not getting these done in an electrically safe manner. If grounding is not done right, we could energize the entire appliance, including the metallic flex that then becomes a conductor and has the possibility of heating up like a toaster coil, easily igniting nearby combustibles. This type of failure is all too possible when we do not use the proper connectors for the circuit conductors.

Poster: Ecosystem support areas to the cities, Folke et al.1997, Ambio Cities worldwide are attracting more and more people and, as a result, urban studies is a rapidly growing and increasingly urgent field. Ambio has had a role in promoting insights broadly relevant for urban sustainability and resilience - and bringing them to policy and practice - by publishing and thus making visible some of the scientific discoveries that now provide part of the foundation for transformational urban research and practice. Behind the Paper: Cities and the Biosphere What is a sustainable city? Ever dependent on their surroundings this is never a question of only the cities themselves. However, back in the mid-1990s, the supporting land area of cities, their ghost acreage or hinterland, was largely out of sight and thereby out of mind. Inspired by earlier work on human appropriation of the products of photosynthesis, we started to work on the paper ‘Ecosystem Appropriation by Cities’ (Folke et al. 1997). Our goal was to place cities as part of their broader global biosphere context and investigate the extent to which cities actually were dependent upon the life-supporting ecosystems and the environmental functions and ecosystem services those generate. We focused on the thirty largest cities in the Baltic Sea drainage basin and performed an analysis of the, at that time, world’s megacities and how much of the work of the oceans they appropriated for seafood consumption and of the world’s forests for carbon sequestration. The work with and results of this paper have been very useful in the years since its publication, to illustrate and clarify, in lectures, seminars, for practice, policy and business, that irrespective of preferences for nature or whether or not people in cities appreciate the broader biosphere, they still fundamentally depend on nature’s contributions for wellbeing. Today, the urban-biosphere interplay is increasingly visible, perhaps particularly in the food realm where the production of huge quantities of bulk food in vast vulnerable monocultures is put into perspective. As a contrast, high quality food as part of biocultural landscapes and carrier of multiple social and ecological values is increasingly appreciated and a much richer interpretation of cities within the biosphere than studies of urban metabolism alone However, in the current Anthropocene and an increasingly unpredictable future, biosphere support can no longer be taken for granted. Currently, with climate change, pandemics and social and economic turbulence, this interdependence of people and nature stands out profound as well as fragile. Humans, our actions, institutions, and governance systems, will have to foster active stewardship of our own future on planet Earth. With the majority of us now living in cities, this has become and urban issue. Thus, sustainable urbanisation is central to overall sustainable futures. And as we indicated already in 1997, it will require joint strategies and incentives between city dwellers and the stewards of the landscapes and seascapes upon which city life depends. Folke, C., Å.

By BRETT ROWLAND |THE CENTER SQUARE New testing shows that some popular electric vehicles fall short of their government-estimated driving ranges, underscoring anxiety Americans have about the range of electric vehicles. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency range estimates listed on electric vehicle window stickers and at fueleconomy.gov don’t have separate city and highway ranges, as they do with conventional cars and hybrids. Consumer Reports, the nonprofit research, testing, and consumer advocacy organization, put electric vehicles to the test. To find out how much range EV models get in highway driving conditions, Consumer Reports put 22 of the most popular new EVs through a new highway-speed range test. The test involved driving fully-charged vehicles at a steady speed of 70 mph and only stopping when each vehicle’s battery was completely depleted and the vehicle was inoperable, according to the nonprofit. Nearly half of the 22 vehicles tested failed to reach their EPA-estimated ranges, but some exceeded those estimates. The highway range of the tested vehicles ranged from 202 miles up to 380 miles. Most drivers travel relatively short distances on a daily basis and are highly unlikely to reach the range limits of most new EVs. But long road trips are a different story. We feel that consumers should have an idea of how far EVs can travel on a long highway-centric journey,” Alex Knizek, Consumer Report’s manager of auto testing and insights, said in a statement. “Range is much more important when you’re far from home and away from reliable charging.” Vehicle range is a consideration for long-distance travel, as a man from the Chicago suburbs recently demonstrated on a Thanksgiving road trip to Detroit, as The Center Square previously reported. Consumer Reports said going forward it will evaluate the highway range for every electric vehicle it tests. It also asked the EPA to add a highway-speed range test. Car and Driver and SAE International have made similar requests. A 2022 Consumer Reports survey found range anxiety was a reason 54% of adults in a national-representative survey said would prevent them from buying an electric vehicle.

We, as professionals in the field, understand the importance of genome annotation in unraveling the mysteries of genetics. Genome annotation is the process that enables us to identify genes and their functions, shedding light on the biological complexities encoded in DNA sequences. Over the years, genome annotation has evolved, allowing us to not only identify long protein-coding genes but also explore the nucleotides on a vast number of individual genomes. This increased resolution and inclusiveness of genome annotations have provided us with valuable insights into the biology of species, populations, and individuals. Join us as we delve into the world of genome annotation, exploring its significance in understanding gene identification, gene function, and the intricate biological processes that shape life. Importance of Genome Annotation Genome annotation plays a crucial role in understanding the genetic information encoded within DNA sequences. It provides valuable insights into the structure and function of genes, enabling researchers to decipher the complexities of biological systems. By identifying genes, non-coding regions, and regulatory elements, genome annotation allows for a comprehensive understanding of the functionality of the genome. Through the process of genome annotation, researchers can uncover the functions of genes, which is essential for interpreting the genetic basis of traits and diseases in various fields such as evolutionary biology, medicine, and agriculture. Accurate genome annotation is particularly important in clinical genomics, where it aids in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of diseases by identifying disease-causing genes, regulatory elements, and potential therapeutic targets. With advancements in genomics technologies, such as next-generation sequencing and long-read sequencing, genome annotation has become more comprehensive and accurate. The integration of multi-omics data, including transcriptomics, proteomics, and epigenomics, further enhances our understanding of genome functionality. Additionally, the development of novel approaches and the utilization of context methods in genome annotation contribute to more comprehensive functional annotations. Table 2: Comparison of Genome Annotation Approaches |– Fast and efficient – Suitable for large-scale annotation |– Relies on predicted gene models – May produce errors in gene prediction |– Considers genetic variations and polymorphisms – Provides insights into population diversity |– Requires accurate genome assemblies – May miss rare or unique gene features |– Identifies conserved elements and functional domains – Improves accuracy of annotations |– Relies on availability of reference genomes – Challenging for non-model organisms In conclusion, genome annotation is of utmost importance for understanding the genetic information encoded in DNA sequences. It provides functional insights into genes, non-coding regions, and regulatory elements, contributing to the advancement of various fields of research. Advances in genomics technologies and the development of novel approaches continue to enhance the accuracy and comprehensiveness of genome annotation, leading to a deeper understanding of genome functionality. Process of Genome Annotation The process of genome annotation involves several steps that contribute to the identification and functional annotation of genes. These steps ensure a comprehensive understanding of the genome’s functionality and provide valuable insights into biological systems. The key stages of genome annotation include genome assembly, gene prediction, and functional annotation. Genome assembly is the initial step in genome annotation, where the DNA sequence is generated using reference-based or de novo methods. This process involves organizing short sequence reads or longer reads into a complete genome sequence. Advanced sequencing technologies, such as next-generation sequencing, have significantly improved the speed and accuracy of genome assembly. Gene prediction is a critical step in genome annotation, where gene finding tools like Prodigal, GeneMark, and MetageneAnnotator are used to identify and mask RNA genes and open reading frames (ORFs). These tools analyze the sequence data and predict the presence of genes based on specific criteria, such as the presence of start and stop codons, promoter regions, and splice sites. Various algorithms and statistical models are employed to accurately predict gene structures. Functional annotation is the process of assigning biological functions to predicted genes. It involves comparing the predicted ORFs with existing databases like GENBANK and UniProt to predict putative functions and provide evidence of protein existence. The annotation also entails mapping ORFs to metabolic pathways using databases like KEGG and identifying protein domains through InterProScan searches.

Published by VSF International and Vets Beyond Borders Australia. September 2021. Rabies is a neglected zoonotic disease that causes an estimated 59,000 human deaths every year, with 40% of the victims being children. Rabies affects the most vulnerable populations: most cases are found in Africa and Asia, and 80% of cases occur in rural areas. Rabies virus transmission is mainly through a bite or direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with saliva of an infected animal. Dogs are responsible for 99% of human cases. Eliminating rabies in dogs is therefore the key to achieving elimination of human rabies. The economic burden of the disease is estimated at 8.6 billion USD annually. This occurs despite the availability of anti-rabies vaccines for both animals and humans, which are critical in supporting eradication efforts. Rabies is almost 100% preventable through the administration of safe, effective and extensively available vaccines for humans and animals. However, mortalities are mainly attributed to high treatment costs or lack of access to post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). This is coupled with the majority of victims exposed to the virus being unaware of the dangers posed by the disease or lacking access to basic medical care. VSF International is supporting rabies eradication efforts in its areas of intervention, and promotes a holistic approach based on One Health, integrating human, animal and environmental health. Mass vaccination of dogs coupled with population control measures, prompt dog bite management, community education and outreach, improvements in reporting, diagnosis and surveillance are among the key strategic approaches to rabies eradication adopted by the VSF International network. By working closely with the communities, key government line ministries and counterpart agencies and institutions, we have been supporting eradication efforts in South Sudan, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi, Algeria, Morocco, India, Cambodia, the Czech Republic and Canada.

A law banning the face veil has come into force in Austria under a new “integration” policy. The law, which will make it illegal to wear clothes that obscure one’s face in public, has been introduced to protect Austrian values, according to the country’s government. Anyone wearing clothes that obscure their face in public will now be liable to a fine of €150 (£132) and must remove the offending garment “on the spot” if ordered by police. As well as banning Muslim veils such as the burka or niqab, the law will place restrictions on the use of medical face masks and clown makeup. Muslim groups have condemned the law, saying just a tiny minority of Austrian Muslims – around 150 – wear full-face veils. It comes ahead of a general election later this month which could see gains by the far-right Freedom Party and other parties campaigning on an anti-immigration message. Polling this week showed the hardline People’s Party on 34 per cent and Freedom Party on 25 per cent, with the centrist Social Democrats, who are the majority party in the current coalition government, struggling on 27 per cent. Austria’s parliament approved the ban in May despite protests from Muslim groups and opposition from lawyers and the country’s own President. Last week, the Austrian government issued posters and leaflets threatening Muslim women with fines for wearing face veils ahead of the introduction of the controversial ban. The ban comes after France and Belgium introduced a similar bans in 2011. The Dutch parliament is also debating a similar law.

Overdependence on the centre and states for funds: - As an impact of overdependence on the Centre and the State for their funds, most panchayats suffer from interference from the top two tiers of the system. - The Standing Committee on Rural Development and Panchayati Raj said in March last year that 19 out of 34 State/Union Territories did not receive any funds under the Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan scheme in FY23. - The Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan scheme was started fobuilding capacity and training elected representatives. - Due to meagre revenue raising potential, panchayats’ share in the respective State’s own revenue was poor. For instance, in Andhra Pradesh, revenue receipts of panchayats formed just 0.1% of the State’s own revenue. The revenue of panchayats in Uttar Pradesh formed 2.5% of the State’s own revenue, the highest among States. - Recent incidences: - Protest by several panchayats heads in Chennai last year asking for independence of the Panchayati Raj. - A news report from Telangana last year stated that the failure of the State government in releasing funds on time forced sarpanches to use private funds. Historical Background of (Panchayat Raj Institutions) PRIs: - Although historically in India there was a prevalence practice of the panchayat system under various dynasties and kingdoms such as Cholas (very popular for its local self-Government system), Pandyas, Mauryan etc. for efficient administration of kingdoms and dynasties in order to provide maximum satisfaction and services on behalf of king to the entire kingdom. but in later stages under the British/modern Era, gradually the importance of this efficient system robustly declined as was the progress in economy and societal development declined due to such horrendous policies neglecting the progress of state was observed. It’s because of this fact the constitution drafters keeping such issues in mind made a place for village panchayats in the constitution under Article 40 of the Indian constitution which was then a mere suggestion for a state for good governance under Directive Principles of State Policy, various states in order to provide good governance started drafting separate legislations and creating PRIs but this didn’t happen in all the states of India which was the need of an hour for bringing-in remarkable changes for an under-developed India due to such halt in the performance, Panchayat raj essentially got the constitutional status in order to decentralize the democratic government and governance for effective welfare of the states. - Panchayat Raj Institutions are a local level institution comprising of elected representatives entrusted with the responsibility of identifying, formulating, implementing and monitoring the local level developmental and welfare programmes, the constitutional provisions expect the state government to enact state legislation not only to create PRIs but also to endow them with such financial powers and functional responsibilities. PRIs progress after independence under Five-year plans: - During the first five year plan the government felt the need of PRIs or disaggregated planning exercise for efficient governance and introduced idea of village plans and district development councils. (DDC) - Balwant Rai Mehta committee recommended block as the unit of planning with panchayat samitis as the executive body for planning and also suggested setting up of village panchayats, Talukas, Zilla parishads etc. - But due to non-binding nature and absence of mandatory constitutional legislations, various suggestions wouldn’t work for all the states. - In third and fourth five-year plans too, same thing re-emerged due to lack of planning machinery and poor planning. The concept of “Integrated area approach” and district planning and various schemes such as lead bank scheme for district credit plans to farmers were introduced which made a little progress and contribution to the idea and implementation of PRIs under fourth and fifth five-year plan. Ashok Mehta Committee in 1977 was set up to examine the functioning of PRIs to improve efficiency of decentralized planning. During the sixth and seventh five year plan a multi-level planning frame work within districts was emphasized but the same various different fallacies took place such as administrative, financial and others. It was during the ninth five-year plan that the Indian government introduced the decentralization reform depicting its seriousness towards village levels through making PRI a constitutional right by making 73rd and 74th amendment in the year 1993 for efficient governance so that the development process could even reach the doors of villages. Issues and Concerns - The first failure of the 73rd Amendment was that the transfer of various governance functions—like the provision of education, health, sanitation, and water was not mandated. Instead, the amendment listed the functions that could be transferred, and left it to the state legislature to actually devolve functions. There has been very little devolution of authority and functions in the last 25 years. PRIs cannot govern unless they are given the authority to actually perform functions related to governance. - To make matters worse, because these functions were never devolved, state executive authorities have proliferated to carry out these functions. The most common example is the terrible state water boards, performing tasks that should have been left to elected representatives of local governments who best understand local water problems and can be disciplined through the democratic process. - The second failure of the 73rd Amendment is the lack of finances for PRIs. Local governments can either raise their own revenue through local taxes or receive intergovernmental transfers. The 73th Amendment recognized both forms of public finance, but did not mandate either. The power to tax, even for subjects falling within the purview of PRIs, has to be specifically authorized by the state legislature. The 73rd Amendment let this be a choice open to the state legislatures—a choice that most states have not exercised. - A second avenue of revenue generation is intergovernmental transfers, where state governments devolve a certain percentage of their revenue to PRIs. The constitutional amendment created provisions for State Finance Commissions to recommend the revenue share between state and local governments. However, these are merely recommendations and the state governments are not bound by them. Though finance commissions, at every level, have advocated for greater devolution of funds, there has been little action by states to devolve funds. - The only long-term solution is to foster genuine fiscal federalism where PRIs raise a large portion of their own revenue and face hard budget constraints, i.e., fiscal autonomy accompanied by fiscal responsibility. - As per the report released by the Reserve Bank of India on the finances of Panchayati Raj Institutions for 2022-23 argues that one of the ways forward is to promote greater decentralisation and empower local leaders and officials. - Now that there are millions of elected representatives giving voice to Indians at the grass-roots level, these representatives need clear mandates of local functions, and the ability to raise their own revenue, to foster better local governance. Without the functions and finances, PRIs will only be an expensive failure. -Source: The Hindu

Did you know that dehydrated foods can retain up to 90-95% of their nutrition if dried properly? If you’re still on the electric power grid, Excalibur is a well-known brand of electric dehydrator, but there are many others that work very well and are probably less expensive. If you’re off the grid, you may want a solar dehydrator. You can actually build your own if you want to. Just check online for free info and plans for solar dehydrators. Info on the actual process of dehydrating is also available online and in books, and I recommend a small inexpensive booklet from Storey Publishing called “Food Drying Techniques” (Country Wisdom Bulletin A-197). This booklet is also available on Amazon and from Barnes & Noble. Once your produce is properly dehydrated, I recommend storing it in glass jars if possible, or food-grade plastic 5-gallon buckets. If you’d like some very simple instructions on how to dehydrate a number of my favorite fruits, vegetables, and herbs. I’ve included that in my cookbook “The Contemporary Artisan’s Collection of Recipes & Methods”. Here are a couple of samples: Dried Italian Plums Wash and slice plums in half (slice along the seam that’s on one side of the plum and back up the other side). Discard pits. Place halves on the dehydrator tray. Dehydrate at 135 degrees or in a solar dehydrator until plums show no moisture when touched, but are still pliable. To make sure plums are dry enough, put them into a plastic Ziploc bag or glass jar with lid right away while still warm, and if condensation forms on the inside, you need to dry them out a bit more. Pack in air tight containers until ready to use. Sun-dried Tomatoes in Oil *4 pounds ripe, small, plum tomatoes *8 oz. coarse sea salt Cut tomatoes in half and place on a tray to dry in the sun. Sprinkle with salt and cover with cheesecloth to protect from insects. During the daytime, turn tomatoes twice daily. Bring in at night to protect from moisture. Remove any excess salt that hasn’t dissolved and put dried tomatoes into small jars. Cover with 1/2” olive oil so that the oil is within 3/8” of the top of the jar. Close jars tightly. Store in refrigerator. Makes about 2 cups.

We talk all about making sure that you are doing what is right for you. Making sure that you are feeling good and doing good. We talk about eating foods that make you heal yourself and are preventative. We talk about making sure your heart and soul are in the right place. Eating right and getting out and getting your body moving so that you are doing all you can to stay and be healthy. It’s time to think about someone other than yourself. If you can’t seem to find the right reason to get in gear, do it for someone else. Locally we are preparing for a fun event to raise funds for our local cancer foundation. The Workout to Conquer Cancer is a way to go get active and raise money for a very worthy cause. But it is in Vancouver, and you are not??? So what! Every town has a hospital, women’s shelter, SPCA, Rotary, multiple churches, youth groups, and or …..you name it. There are so many charities out there and they are all looking for ways to raise money. If they are doing a run, walk, workout, physical event, then you do it. Getting involved in your community is good for you in more ways than the financial gain to the charity. It is good for your soul. Get active and raise money for a worthy cause. The rewards are enormous. Even though I'm not running anymore, we still have to try to find a cure for cancer. Other people should go ahead and try to do their own thing now. –

Elegant – Leather & Silver Plate Candlesticks – Kenneth Turner – London – Downton Abbey Elegance You can add some Downton Abbey elegance to your home with this pair of magnificent 16″ tall Kenneth Turner candlesticks. The English know how to do it and this handsome combination of silver and leather will catch everyone’s eye! Kenneth Turner, London, is famous for its high-end candles, crystal & silver plated candle holders, home fragrances and decorative accessories. The line is carried at Selfridges, Amara and other exclusive stores in England. These handsome candlesticks have center pillars that are covered in patterned black leather with a stitched-down back seam and baluster shaped tops and stepped-back bases. The bottoms are felted and have a silver Kenneth Turner London plaque. It appears they were purchased in London by the estate owners, since the KTL line has only a single U.S. distributor, and these particular candlesticks are no longer being made. I estimate their original cost to have been several hundred dollars. (As an example, a Kenneth Turner 3-wick Pillar Fragrance Candle retails for $160.00). A rare and fabulous pair being offered far below real value Out of stock Please tell your friends...

Calgary, Alberta — Questerre Energy Corporation (“Questerre” or the “Company”) (TSX,OSE:QEC) is pleased to announce that it intends to complete a private placement of flow-through units of the Company. The Company plans to issue up to 17.6 million flow-through units at a price of $0.18 per unit for estimated gross proceeds of $3.17 million (the “Flow-Through Placement”). Each flow-through unit will consist of one Common Share issued on “flow-through” basis (“CDE Flow-Through Share”) and one-half of one non-flow-through share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional non-flow-through Common Share at a price of $0.20 for a period of 18 months from closing. It is anticipated that an aggregate of 15.17 million flow-through units or 86% of the Flow-Through Placement will be subscribed for primarily by two directors, one of whom is the Chief Executive Officer who plans to acquire approximately 14.76 million Flow-Through Units, of which approximately 72% of such securities are anticipated to be vended to independent third parties following closing. Closing of the Flow-Through Placement is scheduled for on or around July 25, 2016. The Flow-Through Placement is subject to receipt of all regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and Oslo Bors (“OSE”). The CDE Flow-Through Shares will be subject to a statutory hold period on the TSX of four months plus one day from the closing date of the Flow-Through Placement. The gross proceeds of the Flow-Through Placement will be used by the Company, pursuant to the provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada), to incur eligible Canadian development expenses (“Qualifying Expenditures”) after the closing date and prior to December 31, 2016 on Questerre’s properties. The Company will renounce the Qualifying Expenditures to subscribers of the Flow-Through Units for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. In certain instances, the Company may pay finder’s fees on a portion of the Flow-Through Placement in cash to registered investment dealers in accordance with applicable law. The Company also reported on the status of its credit facility review that was conducted in the second quarter. The lender has advised that the credit facility will be renewed at $30 million. The facility will include a $24.9 million revolving operating demand facility (“Credit Facility A”) and a non-revolving acquisition and development facility of $5 million (“Credit Facility B”). Credit Facility A can be used for general corporate purposes, ongoing operations, capital expenditures within Canada, and acquisition of petroleum and natural gas assets within Canada. Credit Facility B can only be used for the development of existing proved non-producing/undeveloped reserves.

Justin was quoted in a recent article in the Washington Post focused on the use of bioacoustic techniques for surveying bird populations. In addition to the quotes below, the article highlights our ongoing work on individual bird localization. “I’m well aware that you can talk to any scientist from any time period, and they’ll say we’re right on the cusp of something extraordinary,’’ said Justin Kitzes, an assistant professor and a computational ecologist with the University of Pittsburgh. “But there’s a convergence of a lot of things right now that in the next 20 years are going to be very important.’’ “These data will be the museum specimens of our century,’’ Kitzes said. “These are things we should be archiving. Future generations will return to them, with better methods, better equipment, new questions we can’t even think of today. They are going to be very thankful to us for preserving this.’’

Honestly, I don't know where to post this question. Several days ago I posted a question about the part of the XP OS that produces the thumbnails in Windows Explorer. While I waited for someone to answer I found a solution to the problem on my own. Another user asked me if I had a solution, and now I want to get back to him. Problem is, I can't find my way back to where his message to me is. Am I missing a link or something on the site? Or is it just not there? What I would like to do is list just the questions I have posted and their replies. Is this possible on this site?

Meanwhile Gardens Elkstone Road Westbourne Park I got to see the new Meanwhile park for the first time the other day, and it is absolutely amazing. It is built on the site of the orignal meanwhile park which dates back from the early 70's, it's part of skateboardings national heritage. Despite the fact that Manimal and Matt had been raving about it for months I hadn't been over that way for ages. I'd seen it under construction but that had not prepared me for how ammazing it was. view from the deep end view from the shallow end It's a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be but the transitions are about average, not too tight. It basically consists of 3 bowls in a row with hips going from one to another. The top bowl is about 3 foot deep and is a rounded off rectangle shape. The second bowl is about 4 foot deep and is round with a little pump bumpin the middle. You need this bump to get speed, but it also has the ability to chuck you off, especially when travelling fakie.The bottom bowl is various depths, between 5 and 6 foot, it's huge and has got a big pump bump in the middle. The coping seemed pretty much perfect to me and the concrete is about as smooth as concrete gets. You can almost forget your in the middle of the ghetto when you're skating here, but I've heard it can be a bit nasty down there, when I was there the worst thing that happened was some big fat hefer woman getting her huge arse out over on the grass. Apparently there's wicked session there almost every night, it's The Manimals new lair. John R blasts a fat one over the hip (Photo scanned from SWS, because my camera's crap) All in all this is one sick spot, I never thought I'd see something like this get built in London, let's hope it starts a trend. If you like trannies and hips you'll love this shit, just ask Manimal and Minimal. This is the perfect spot for a summers evening session. Check it out soon, because I'd hate to take a slam there on a cold winters day! Also if you like this spot get your arse down to Marseille as soon as humanly possible, you won't regret it! Check out the story of the Back at the Park comp. I'll get some pictures on here asap. Back for more stories

Advent: Part 3 Wednesday, December 16, 2015 Advent Announces Reality Every year in December, I send out four Wednesday’s Word emails for Advent. These devotionals have been excerpted from my sermon series, which are available with some other free Advent resources at www.PaulTripp.com/Advent. It was the most important event ever, accompanied by the most important song ever, containing the most important announcement ever – “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom He is pleased.” (Luke 2:14) There’s so much to extract from that little verse, but for the sake of today’s devotional, I only want to focus on two words: GLORY and PEACE. Imagine what the world would be like if every person existed with the GLORY OF GOD as their utmost priority. Imagine what it would be like to participate in a society where the heart of every citizen was captured by the awe of God. But that’s not the state of our world. Our culture is defined by political corruption, social injustice, financial instability, sexual perversion and more. Why? Because human beings have become awe amnesiacs. Ignoring the glory of God, government leaders, celebrities, musicians and athletes pursue their own wealth, fame and power. Don’t be too quick to point the finger, though. When we turn the mirror of God’s Word on ourselves, we find that we’re glory amnesiacs, too. In the mundane moments of everyday life, we attempt to usurp the King of Glory with our desires, words and actions. We just don’t have the media broadcasting our every move. Here’s the bottom line: the principal motivation of our life was supposed to be that God would be praised in every moment. But on many occasions, we simply don’t care about the glory of God. The world has gone bad because human beings of all ages and levels of influence have replaced God with temporary created glories that we hope will satisfy. I want you to imagine again – what would the world be like if every person lived AT PEACE with God, with themselves, and with others? How beautiful would our existence be if there was no international war, acts of terror, racial tension, divorce, or mental illness? Again, that’s not the state of our world. From the moment Adam and Eve sinned, the perfect relationship between God and man was shattered, and when we don’t have peace with our Creator, we won’t find inner peace. When our souls are conflicted, that turmoil naturally spills into our relationships of every kind. Has anyone reading this devotional lived a conflict-free 2015? In summary: we are glory thieves living in conflict with God and one another. It’s a discouraging reality, isn’t it? Yes, initially, but good news can’t be good unless you know that there is first bad news. The Good News of Advent is that Jesus came to reclaim and restore wandering hearts and conflicted relationships. Today I would encourage you to honestly examine your life. Are you trying to usurp God? Are you straining your relationships? Don’t hide from what you find, because the announcement of the angels provides hope and help for both of those struggles! - Which of your desires, words or actions this week have revealed your lack of zeal for the glory of God? - How would you have desired, spoke, or acted differently in that moment if your heart was captured by God’s glory? - How have you strained your relationships this month? Think of one or two significant relationships in your everyday life. - What practical steps can you take to restore those relationships, and why can you approach restoration with humility and confession?

Starting as an online radio platform, transforming to a traditional music streaming service, facing tough competition, and everything in between. We explore how iHeartRadio started, where they are now, how to use the platform as a consumer, and more! How did iHeartRadio start? Founded in 2008 by Clear Channel, who rebranded to iHeartMedia in 2014, iHeartRadio launched in the US only, featuring news, music content, music videos and access to over 750 Clear Channel radio stations online. In its first year, iHeartRadio debuted on the just-launched iPhone App Store, giving users access to twelve radio stations in 8 markets. iHeartRadio launched on BlackBerry and Android the next year. In 2011, iHeartRadio launched their free, all-in-one service, featuring thousands of live radio stations and custom artist stations. The following year, iHeartRadio launched “24/7 News”, online audio news, weather and traffic streams for several US cities. Five years after its launch in the United States, iHeartRadio rolled out in New Zealand and Australia in 2013. This year also saw the service launch iHeartRadio Talk, a precursor to podcasts. iHeartRadio Talk featured original on-demand programming from celebrities and allowed users to upload their own content through podcasting platform Spreaker. iHeartRadio Talk was later rebranded to “Shows & Personalities”, then simply “Podcasts”. iHeartRadio continued to expand podcasts over the years, with acquisitions such as Voxnest. In 2015, iHeartRadio Family was launched, bringing curated experiences targeting children, with a simplified interface and age-appropriate stations. 2016 saw iHeartRadio expand to Canada. This came alongside the launch of two subscription based on-demand services – “iHeartRadio Plus” and “iHeartRadio All Access powered by Napster”. This brought on-demand streaming to the music service for the first time, allowing paying subscribers to listen to exactly what they want, when they want.

PR in 2022: Tread carefully but don’t tiptoe All marketers are generally focused on creating reputational change, relationship building and revenue generation. But even the most seasoned marketer is aware that they’re operating in a treacherous environment right now. Enabling individuals, departments and companies to succeed throughout a pandemic and now heart-breaking international conflict feels a bit like walking a marketing tightrope. From my own perspective, I have a huge amount of empathy for what’s happening in the world. I don’t want to say the wrong thing or behave too overtly. At the same time, it’s critical that my company maintains a level of demand generation to support revenue growth, recruitment and other factors. As a communications agency, this dilemma doesn’t stop at the walls of Wildfire’s HQ. The advice and consultancy that the team provides to clients also needs to take world events into consideration. Find the good For me personally, intention is key. The challenges that the world continues to face in 2022 have accelerated the appetite for purpose-led narratives, creating swathes of businesses to rebrand. Authenticity is more important than ever, with ESG being cited as ‘critical’ by the majority of participants in a recent ITSMA survey on the State of Marketing Profession in 2022. Rather than being cynical of these trends and changes, I am all for it! Frankly, there is so much negative news, content and feeling in the world right now. Anything that individuals and brands can do to address that balance can only be a good thing. Being and doing better Yes, as marketers, we all have a job to do, and services and products to sell – let’s not pretend otherwise. But now, the majority of us are focused on not just achieving our targets, but how we can achieve them by being and doing better. The challenges businesses face the world over have led to a new era of marketing, one that is genuinely more aware and more caring. Goodness knows what 2023 will bring, but one thing I do know is that, as a marketer, it’s our job to be as bold as possible and to prepare our teams and businesses as best we can. We should not tiptoe. Let’s simply tread carefully, being sure-footed as we deliver marketing enablement across our businesses and support them to succeed whatever the world throws our way.

Jim Burton, a highly successful entrepreneur, recently sold his business, PPI Management Inc. He allocated a sizeable portion of the proceeds to invest in a multigenerational legacy with his six children, their partners and his grandchildren. As a result, he created a private family foundation referred to as the James A. Burton and Family Foundation and asked his adult kids to be part of it. He wanted to build a shared dream with them which he believed would bring growth and advancement to the family and the communities in which they live and work. Although Jim had been charitable his whole life, this situation gave him the chance to advance a philanthropic family legacy together with his children. Over the last couple of years, the Burton family has been growing their shared understanding and capacity surrounding philanthropy, financial literacy and family communication. To advance their progress as a collective, they partake in tri-annual family meetings, monthly financial coaching, regular learning sessions and more. The Burton Family exemplifies what it means to be a learning family. Developing Cohesion, Connection and Trust A learning family, as we define it, is a group of relatives who are passionate about the resources they own presently or will own in future, and who work together to actively produce an owner’s mindset and the ability to advance their family’s capital (spiritual, financial, human, social and intellectual). A learning family is a desirable state that is the result of a never-ending cycle of learning and development. Consequently, it is the process of becoming a learning family, not the achievement of being one, that yields the advantages of collective growth. As family enterprises grow in size and complexity, it’s critical to move beyond individual development and advance the entire family. Collective ownership development promotes cohesion, connection and trust among family members who may look, think and behave differently, enabling the group to come to consensus decisions. Any team working on complex issues requires a common set of frameworks and vocabulary for effective dialogue. A family enterprise is no different. Collective family enterprise education yields a shared language across members, including as related to business terms (e.g., growth, risk, profits and liquidity), ownership terms (e.g., trust, shareholders agreement and dividends), communication terms (e.g., empathy, consensus, and active listening) creating a more level playing field and efficient, effective decision-making processes. In this article, we aim to explore the processes for becoming a learning family and some of the challenges involved in doing so. Creating Purposeful Learning Opportunities Learning families manifest a proactiveness. They purposefully create learning opportunities to advance both individual skill and their combined knowledge base. They commit the time and energy to enhance their capacities, striving for a shared dream together. A learning family starts by conceiving of a vision for and expectations of development opportunities, including a budget and an action plan. Learning and development activities are devised in reaction to family members’ needs and interests apart from the business requirements. Learning families experiment, take risks and attempt novel ways of doing things. The aim of collaborative growth is mostly based on talents and knowledge that promote cohesion and teamwork. When the family is not sure of their destination, they don’t give up. Instead, they persevere to find the right path based on the needs in their stage of life. Learning families master the art of fostering trust and respect. Even the most knowledgeable of family businesses will come to a standstill and will not reach their desired outcome without a shared feeling of trust and respect. They understand that trust is a tangible asset which is comprised of values, competence and dependability generated over time in small moments and activities. Even though it may appear to be an unorthodox opinion, trust can be reconstructed once it is broken. So, when events occur that challenge cohesion in the family, they take the time to unpack the issues and find the means to address their differences. The collective processes of learning should focus on establishing higher levels of trust among the ownership group. Advancing Collaboration Aptitude Owners of various ages, stages, expertise and roles must be able to communicate their ideas and opinions in a respectful manner while making room for those of others. Therefore, one of the key goals is to enhance their capability to work together proficiently. Families need to grow their ability to handle disagreement constructively and peacefully on everything from a shared vision to familial employment to setting up effective governance. Collaboration is at the center of family enterprise continuance, and among the main convictions of an owner’s attitude. Therefore, one of the principal objectives of collective growth is advancing collaboration aptitudes and a feeling of partnership among relatives, which can be passed on through the generations. The fundamental capacity to develop a family and future investor group involves collective choice-making which means gathering to examine alternatives and choosing a way forward in a participatory style. In this process, all voices are heard and assessments are shared openly. When agreement can’t be reached, returning to the issue again later demonstrates to all that finding synergy amongst the collective is most important. The optimal place to initiate ownership development and becoming a learning family is with a family conversation. This will help build buy-in about the importance of collective growth, the advantages of being a learning-oriented family, and create enthusiasm for the same. Interest in the process should be evident immediately, as will any potential challenges. We recommend keeping the growth process simple, fun, and applicable to each member of the family. Possibly begin by selecting one or two ideas such as a scheduling learning trip, constructing an important policy together, or building shared knowledge in a joint area of interest such as financial literacy. The key is to relate the learning activities to the personal circumstances of family members. Common Challenges to Family Learning When it comes to collective development, there are several common issues to be aware of. To begin, it’s critical not to rush things. Building a learning family takes time, and an abundance of activities all at once could cause burnout or rejection of the process. It can be easy to get discouraged if everyone is not engaged, but it’s important to keep trying in small ways to build momentum. It’s an art to get family members to learn, and it needs to be done in a way that combines personal interests, business needs and family priorities. Finally, it’s essential to prioritize strengthening trust and communication if family learning is to be successful. Here are the three main mistakes which may impede the progress of a collective development: - Acting too quickly. Becoming a family that learns is a long-term journey and trying to introduce too much at once can cause confusion and overwhelm. Changes to how the family system operates need to be done carefully and all involved must be on board. - Giving up too easily. It’s easy to give up on the idea of family learning when everyone is occupied with the business and raising young children. One patriarch’s comment of “You clearly haven’t prioritized this” when family members couldn’t attend his learning events just made the younger generation resentful. Engaging family members in learning requires uncovering each individual’s interests and combining them with the business requirements, but doing it in a strategic manner. - Sacrificing the needs of the many for the issues of the few. Every family faces the dilemma of whose needs to put first: the group’s or the individual’s? Ideally, both types of needs can be satisfied with relationships, policies, practices and values related to ownership and other areas. Sometimes, families’ ownership development efforts can be derailed by the issues surrounding one individual or a small subset of people — such as an unwillingness to buy into a collective vision or to abide by long-standing policies. Many families will try to engage everyone around all things, especially something as important as ownership development. Sometimes that’s simply not feasible, and it makes sense to move ahead on ownership development with those who are willing to learn and grow rather than to let one person exert a disproportionate influence on the enterprise’s future. Skillful moderation is critical in such circumstances, whether by the family or outside advisors. Start with Patience We recommend starting with patience and a long-term view. Be intentional in creating a positive experience around learning encounters. The investment of time in any kind of ownership development is critical. The value of development is rarely visible after each meeting or activity but builds over time and becomes more evident when tested — such as when two third generation members from the Burton family attended their first meeting and volunteered to participate in a committee to develop a learning program for all 14 G3 family members. Keep at it but be patient about results. Trust they will emerge organically over time. The authors’ new book Own It! Developing an Owner’s Mindset at Every Age will be published in the spring of 2023. Sign up for our newsletters to stay informed on the release date!

Requirements to Donate Eggs Egg donation is a selfless act that can help people who are struggling with infertility to start a family. It’s a complex and emotionally challenging process, but it can be incredibly rewarding for both the donor and the intended parents. If you’re considering becoming an egg donor, there are several requirements that you need to meet. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at what those requirements are and what you can expect during the egg donation process. What are the basic requirements to donate eggs? To donate eggs, you must meet the following criteria: Age: Most clinics require egg donors to be between the ages of 21 and 34. This is because egg quality declines as women get older, and younger donors are more likely to produce healthy eggs. Health: You must be in good overall health to donate eggs. This means you should have a healthy BMI, be a non-smoker, and have no history of chronic illnesses or genetic disorders. Reproductive health: You should have regular menstrual cycles and no history of reproductive issues or sexually transmitted infections. You’ll also need to undergo a medical evaluation to assess your fertility and ensure that you’re a good candidate for egg donation. What is involved in the screening process? The screening process for egg donation typically involves several steps: Medical history: You’ll be asked to provide a detailed medical history, including information about your family’s medical history. Physical exam: You’ll undergo a physical exam to assess your overall health. Blood tests: You’ll have blood tests to check for infectious diseases, genetic disorders, and other health issues. Ultrasound: You’ll have an ultrasound to examine your ovaries and determine the number and quality of your eggs. Pap smear: You’ll have a Pap smear to check for cervical cancer. Psychological evaluation: You’ll meet with a mental health professional to ensure that you’re emotionally prepared for the egg donation process. What are the risks of egg donation? Egg donation is a safe procedure, but there are some risks involved. These may include: Reaction to medications: Some women may experience side effects from the medications used to stimulate egg production, such as bloating, cramping, and mood swings. Complications from the egg retrieval procedure: The egg retrieval procedure is generally safe, but there is a small risk of complications, such as bleeding, infection, and damage to surrounding organs. Emotional risks: Egg donation can be emotionally challenging, and some women may experience feelings of grief or loss after the process is complete. What should I expect during the egg donation process? The egg donation process typically takes about six weeks and involves the following steps: Medical evaluation: You’ll undergo a medical evaluation to determine if you’re a good candidate for egg donation. Fertility medications: You’ll receive medications to stimulate your ovaries and increase the number of eggs you produce. Egg retrieval: You’ll undergo a procedure to retrieve your eggs, which takes about 20-30 minutes and is done under sedation. Recovery: You’ll need to rest for a few hours after the egg retrieval procedure and avoid strenuous activity for a few days.

As marijuana becomes more legalized across the United States, it’s no surprise that CBD hemp flower is now growing in popularity. It has a lot of benefits and has been shown to help people with a number of ailments and you can Buy premium hemp cbd flower online. What Is CBD Hemp Flower? CBD hemp flowers are not marijuana, but they contain CBD which can be used to make some THC products. It comes from industrial hemp, which is usually grown for fiber and other raw materials instead of psychoactive plants like smoking or ingesting weed. The flowers work the best because they contain a lot of bud where these chemicals are concentrated. What Are The Benefits of CBD Hemp Flower? The main benefits of CBD hemp flower are for medicinal uses, but thankfully people are also starting to use it for recreational purposes. It can be vaped, used in edibles, or even dabbed like you would with THC. Treating Medical Conditions with CBD Hemp Flower Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of research on CBD hemp flower itself. However, we do know that it contains smaller amounts of THC and the effects are different than marijuana. It doesn’t get people high and there are no psychoactive effects at all because CBD is not psychoactive. This makes it very appealing for those looking for medicinal products because they can actually treat their condition without feeling anything at all. Chronic pain is often one of the first conditions that people use it for. For example, it can be used to treat arthritis or even migraines. It also helps with insomnia and if you suffer from stress or anxiety, this can help too! It is a non-addictive alternative to prescription medications that can help treat the symptoms of many illnesses and conditions. Recreational Uses of CBD Hemp Flower CBD hemp flowers are legal in most countries. In fact, they have been legalized in over 40 states in the US as well as many more countries worldwide like Spain, Canada, and the UK. In some countries, it’s only legal for medicinal purposes, but that’s still good news for those suffering from various conditions. When it comes to smoking or vaping these flowers, there is no psychoactive effect at all. That means you won’t get high, but you can use it recreationally and not worry about the associated effects of THC. CBD is a natural relaxant and painkiller which makes it appealing for those who want to relax without feeling drowsy or tired. Before purchasing your own CBD hemp flower, you should consult with a professional so that they can recommend the right strain as well as give you tips on how to use it properly.

Q&A with Dr. Z: Former NASA science chief talks about his 6 years at the helm: Times Of Nation Thomas Zurbuchen has ridden off into the sunset. Zurbuchen, affectionately known as Dr. Z, stepped down as head of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate on Dec. 31. He had served in the post for six years, a longer continuous term than that of any of his predecessors. Dr. Z’s tenure was incredibly eventful, packed with high-profile science and exploration successes. In 2021, for example, NASA landed the life-hunting, sample-collecting Perseverance rover on Mars and launched the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to peer farther back into the universe’s history than any mission ever had. And this past September, the agency’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test successfully slammed a probe into a space rock far from Earth, demonstrating a deflection method humanity may need to employ someday to save our skins. In September, when he announced his decision to step down, Dr. Z explained that he was ready for a change, and that NASA would benefit from some new blood coming in. He also said he wasn’t sure where the looming fork in the road would take him; he needed more time for reflection, and time would be decidedly scarce until he stepped away from the job. Space.com caught up with Dr. Z in October to discuss his time as NASA’s science chief — his favorite missions, the advice he’d give to his successors and the incredible growth of the space community over the past few years. The following conversation has been edited for length. In photos: The James Webb Space Telescope’s first pictures Space.com: I know this is a big question, but what do you make of your six years doing this job? What are your overall impressions? Thomas Zurbuchen: I would talk about it in two ways. The first one is the personal side, and the second is the community side. It turns out the second one matters more, but I’m less clear about that, because I think it tends to be that history proves what is the right answer. There are other opinions, so mine kind of matters less. I’m in awe of having the front-window view of all of science. I get to see the first picture ever taken on a mission — in the hallway, somebody’s handing it to me. I’ve just been in awe of the amazing power of space and the amazing power of science to really inspire and to excite. So that’s kind of my personal view. I think on the community side, what we have experienced in the last six years is an enormous growth in many different dimensions. If you take any six-year period, you would be hard-pressed in the history of NASA seeing one that, as an aggregate, created more success. Of course, that’s not because of me, certainly, alone. It has to do with the support that we’ve gotten from Congress, from the various White Houses, and also the execution by industry-government teams. Space.com: You were steering the ship when a lot of very high-profile missions were developed and launched. Do you have any particular favorites? Zurbuchen: I want to mention JWST, because what we saw in the final years [of development] and the deployment — I have not found a single person that expected it to go as well as it did. I’ve not found anybody, and I interviewed everybody. I actually kind of tended to be a little bit more pessimistic than some of the people on the team, which was perfectly fine. Think of it as having an 18-hole golf course [and sinking] hole in one after hole in one. That’s what the team did here at the end. Now, I want to also hasten to say: We didn’t start there. That first year I got there, we had a little bit of an accident. Staying with the golf example, [it was] like breaking every single driver and losing the ball. We had some real challenges. But the point is, look at what they did. I will never forget that. I’m just so proud. It’s like a sports team: On Sunday, you know how good the team is, not how hard they train. And look at this team: It stunned the whole world. Another mission I want to mention that I just love and I think about all the time is the GOES [weather satellite] series. GOES 16 was the first mission I launched in my job and, for what it’s worth, was the first launch I ever saw in person. Every time I look at their forecasts — and especially when I look at hurricane forecasts — I know that this mission that we launched together and built together with our cross agency partner, NOAA [the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration], is in fact changing the lives of citizens. For me, that’s just empowering. And of course, landing on Mars. There aren’t many thrills that are more scary and also more exciting — and seeing the first image show up after you were sweating blood back there. We did that twice since I’ve been on the job, one on InSight and the other one on Perseverance. Related: 12 amazing photos from Perseverance’s 1st year on Mars Space.com: I’ve been on this job for more than a decade now, and one thing I’ve noticed is the huge public interest in space and space science now — it’s grown so much. To what do you attribute that? And how much of that is a goal of NASA’s? Obviously, you do science and exploration first, but outreach and engagement are essential to the overall mission. Zurbuchen: We’ve seen this growth, and we’re excited about it. The way I think about it is, what I really seek to do is inspiration. The work that we do, science, is all about understanding nature in a new and better way. Nature is amazing, right? I think of nature in a very similar way that many people do, frankly, when they talk about their religious beliefs — they think about something that’s really important and bigger than themselves. I think that way of nature. When you listen to children — or grown-ups who behave like children, which is the right way to behave — that curiosity, that understanding, is really inspiring. That’s one thing. And the second one is seeing teams doing the impossible. That’s also inspiring. We have both [at NASA], especially if you bring diverse teams together where many people see themselves, and we’re better off. And again, I don’t want to take credit — we have a much stronger social media presence. We use different channels, we use different partnerships; we have an amazing comms team, and I think our leaders actually understand that this matters and are spending the effort on it. So that’s one piece. I think the other piece is the emergence of commercial space. The space discussion is more interesting [now] because there are more players, and some of them are really colorful characters. Change is interesting; it attracts attention. And for us, much of it has created enormous opportunities for science. Some of them have yet to bear out, but [there are] opportunities that relate, for example, to lower launch costs and the workforce in aerospace. The way I always think about it is, I live through the lives of my students that were in my classroom 10 years ago or so. They’re out there leading these things. Companies that they started, some of them that they joined as well as some of the other companies that have been with us for a while — they’ve also reinvented themselves. So I think that’s another part of that energy. That’s why it’s so important that we don’t define what we do kind of in separation from that — you want to talk about it from the perspective of the entire community. We’re excited about these new players as well as some of the other ones. Space.com: What sort of advice would you give to your successors? How can they keep NASA science growing and moving in the right direction? Zurbuchen: In the first speeches that I gave when I took the job, I said there are three priorities here. The first priority is, build the best team. And the best team is not the most experienced, by the way. There’s experience there, but there’s also new thought, there are new ideas; there’s diversity built around it. And gain the trust of that team. If you can do that, you can delegate a lot of stuff. The second one is, recognize that many of the missions you’re going to work on are already in the water. They’re moving forward, and your job is to do a great job and trust. Trust is absolutely critical for all stakeholders; do the best job in making decisions and moving it forward. So, execute; focus on programmatic performance, not just technical performance. Both matter. The third one is, develop strategic insights. Look at the pattern, what is changing, and take advantage of opportunities. There are new spacecraft-as-a-service type of models; I think that’s really interesting. There are new ideas that are focused on much faster development. I think we have been too slow in some instances. But whatever the ideas are, the point is, focus on number one and number two first. You’re going to want to learn from the community overall to get the final advice. And when you do all of these things, think of community with a capital “C.” It’s not just people who are on your floor, or in NASA headquarters. It’s also the company people out there, the academics, the startup community, the funding community, the government stakeholders, the White House stakeholders. Really make sure that they understand what’s happening and bring them on board. Space.com: One thing I’ve noticed about your tenure is that you’ve sought to normalize the search for alien life and to make that more a part of the mainstream scientific process. Astrobiology had been a little on the fringes, and it seems like you’ve really embraced that as a core NASA priority. We’ve seen that with Mars sample return, and with the recent effort to look into UAP [unidentified aerial phenomena]. Do you see that as something that you have overtly tried to do? Zurbuchen: If you felt that was the case, I would be really proud of it, because I happen to believe it’s one of the most important things we could be working on. It’s also what people care about, and it actually matters to me what people think. I do believe finding life elsewhere is absolutely critical as an objective. And by the way, even when I was here, I was part of an authorization law where we were given the task to do that. I was really glad to receive that task, and I’ve taken it seriously. Related: The search for alien life (reference) Space.com: Are there any things that I didn’t ask you about that you think it’s important to mention? Is there anything about your tenure over the last six years that you want to stress has been particularly important or particularly revelatory? First, I want to just say how proud I am of the team we put together here, the leadership team. If you’ve paid attention, you realize it looks really different than it did before. You can really see the power of diversity and coming together, and I hope that people observe that and are encouraged. I also want to tell you how excited I am about the growth of space in all domains — growth that I really hope we’ll see even more of. There’s much more possible. We’re taking observations of our own planet and turning it into actionable information that makes people’s lives better. A farmer gets more gain out of the work that they do in the field based on the information that we have. Over time, we’ve helped our good friends and cross-agency partners predict weather even better, because we understand the physics of clouds, for example. And so on. There’s huge opportunity. And with the rapid changes that we see all around us, our entire research portfolio needs to be a lot more like the Manhattan Project than some kind of R&A [research and analysis] shop. For me, that comes from commercial partners and government partners coming together. If there’s anything I learned, and maybe my final point is, how many opportunities that are arising if people come together who are different from each other, if organizations come together that are different from each other. Space.com: When you say it needs to be like the Manhattan Project: Is that because the threats that we’re facing — climate change, deforestation, those sorts of things — are existential, or potentially existential? Zurbuchen: Basically, I would say that the difference between Earth science today and Earth science 30 years ago is that, 30 years ago, we knew from our models that we had decades for change, and to implement change. The change that we’re observing now happens on a short time relative to a decade. The timescale of change is fast enough, and affects humans enough, that the responsiveness needs to be a lot faster than what we have done in the past. That’s what I’m really talking about. It’s like playing hockey — you need to skate where the puck is going to be, and stay agile as you learn how things are changing on the playing field. So, for me, that is really how Earth science is evolving. And what an opportunity to add value, not just on weather but also in so many of the other dimensions of life.

Understanding SEO Descriptions and Meta Tags: Enhancing Your Website’s Visibility Having a strong online presence is crucial for businesses and individuals alike. One of the essential elements in improving a website’s visibility and search engine rankings is the use of SEO descriptions and meta tags. These components play a significant role in how search engines interpret and display your website in search results. An SEO description, also known as a meta description, is a brief summary that provides a concise overview of a web page’s content. It typically appears below the page title in search engine results. Although it doesn’t directly influence rankings, a well-crafted SEO description can significantly impact the click-through rate (CTR) of your website. When users search for specific keywords or topics, the SEO description serves as a compelling snippet that encourages them to click on your link over others. The key to an effective SEO description lies in its relevancy, clarity, and call-to-action. It should be written in a way that accurately reflects the content on the page while enticing users to learn more. Aim to keep the description around 150-160 characters, as search engines may truncate longer descriptions, affecting their effectiveness. Title Tags: The title tag is an HTML element that defines the title of a webpage. It appears as the clickable headline in search engine results and is essential for both SEO and user experience. Including relevant keywords in the title tag can improve the page’s visibility in search results and encourage users to click through to your website. Meta Keywords Tags: Historically, meta keywords tags were used to provide a list of relevant keywords to search engines. However, due to abuse and misuse, major search engines have significantly reduced their importance. In fact, some search engines, like Google, have completely ignored them. Today, the focus is more on high-quality content and other SEO factors rather than keyword stuffing in meta tags. Best Practices for SEO Descriptions and Meta Tags To optimize your website’s visibility and attract more organic traffic, follow these best practices for SEO descriptions and meta tags: Relevance and Uniqueness: Each page on your website should have a unique SEO description and title tag that accurately represents its content. Keywords: Include relevant keywords naturally in your SEO description and title tag, but avoid keyword stuffing. Clarity and Call-to-Action: Craft clear, compelling, and concise SEO descriptions that encourage users to click through to your website. Meta Keywords: Focus on creating valuable content rather than relying solely on meta keywords tags for SEO. Length: Keep your SEO descriptions within the recommended character limit to ensure they display properly in search results. Mobile Friendliness: Ensure that your SEO descriptions and meta tags are optimized for mobile devices, as a significant portion of web traffic comes from mobile users. In conclusion, SEO descriptions and meta tags play a vital role in improving your website’s visibility and attracting more organic traffic. By optimizing these elements with relevant keywords and compelling content, you can increase your website’s chances of ranking higher in search engine results, ultimately leading to more visitors and potential customers.

Greece is an amazing country to visit, but like any traveler, you should be prepared for health problems while traveling. Since many people aren’t familiar with the culture and may not be prepared to navigate the healthcare system of Greece, it’s better to take a preventative approach. If you’re considering traveling to Greece, use these health tips to avoid any problems. Although Greek food is amazing, you should always be careful of what you eat and specifically how much.

If you’re driving yourself or taking a tour through Greece, you may want to pack medication to avoid getting carsick. You should also be prepared for some mild turbulence when flying in the region. The mountains can create conditions of turbulence when flying, although it varies. However, flying is a great way to travel through Greece. You can always find great deals from Travelo air tickets and book flights in and out of Greece or just around the region. If you have any foot-related problems, then you should be prepared with comfortable walking shoes and bandaids before you go. Just like driving, many of the walking paths and streets in Greece are ancient and not designed to be easy. Since you will likely be on your feet much of the time, you should have good walking shoes that offer great support. If you have any foot problems like weak ankles, you may also want to bring braces with you or other supplies if you have to twist an ankle or similar. You can spend hours trying to see a doctor for this problem, but being prepared will save you in the long run. Finally, remember that Greece is a warm country with lots of sun. If you’re going to be outside, make sure that you wear sun protection. If you have fair skin, you should also consider wearing a hat and sunglasses for protection. Although Greece is not a dangerous place, you can find that your trip is more difficult if you have to navigate the local medical services. An ounce of prevention is much better in the long run. If you’re getting ready to travel to Greece, use these simple but effective health tips to make sure that you’re prepared.

Halo Betting Odds - How to Bet on Halo ESports & Watch Live Streams Halo is now one of the most iconic first-person shooter games in the world of ESports. Having evolved from a third-person shooter into a first-person shooting game, Halo is now on a par with Call of Duty in the ESports scene. It also happens to be one of the most commercially successful video game franchises in history. The Halo franchise is said to have generated over $6 billion in sales, shifting over 81 million units of its games, from Halo: Combat Evolved in 2001 to Halo Reach in 2010, right the way through to the latest Halo Infinite release in December 2021. If you’re new to watching and betting on Halo offline and online tournaments, read on to get the lowdown on the leading Halo teams, the types of Halo betting markets available and the general betting experience in this fast-growing ESports at Stake Sportsbook . What is Halo & Introduction to Halo ESports Halo is one of the most popular video game franchises this millennium. The military sci-fi theme was conceived and developed by Bungie Inc. Studios and is now developed by 343 Industries, a subsidiary of Microsoft’s Xbox Game Studios. With engaging single-player and multiplayer modes, it became a rapid hit with Xbox gamers. Its initial game – Halo: Combat Evolved – cemented Xbox and Microsoft as a major force in the video game console scene. This was quickly followed by Halo 2 in 2004 and Halo 3 in 2007, the latter of which is commonly regarded as one of the finest video games ever made. As far as competitive ESports events go for Halo, the record books go back to 2003, when the CPL Winter tournament was first staged. This suggests Halo was one of the forerunners of the ESports scene. Halo Teams & Major Tournaments There are several strong teams to look out for in the Halo ESports scene. Sentinels is one of the pioneers of Halo ESports, having been crowned world champions in December 2021. It’s also important to mention OpTic Gaming, which used to be known as Team Envy. This team was crowned world champions in 2022, landing a cool $400,000 prize money. Other notable mentions should go to FaZe Clan, which has expanded recently from its Call of Duty niche into other first-person shooters like CS:GO, PUBG and Halo. Meanwhile, North American team Cloud9 is also a force to be reckoned with in Halo, League of Legends, Fortnite, CS:GO and Hearthstone. We’ve already briefly touched upon it, but the Halo World Championship is the year’s pinnacle for individual players and teams. It’s also the last major Halo ESports event of the season schedule. The Halo Championship Series has a thriving roadmap of major events, including the Charlotte Major, the OpTic Gaming Major and the Fort Worth Major, before the autumn World Championship. Halo Championship Series has usurped Major League Gaming as the market-leading ESports organisation for Halo events. How to Bet on Halo & Types of Halo Bets Bet on a Halo ESports team to win a match during a major Halo tournament. This means the team you back will need to win more maps than their opponent to win the match outright. The outright market requires you to pick a potential winner of the next big Halo ESports tournament. Also known as futures betting, it’s a chance for you to find value odds on Halo teams hitting form before big competitions. Handicap markets allow you to bet on pre-match underdogs to win with a hypothetical head start. You can also get better value on pre-match favourites by backing them to win despite starting from behind. It works a little like the over/under markets and Asian totals markets based on map wins or even a spread bet , as you’re betting on a team covering the pre-match advantage or deficit of map wins. Prop bets on Halo are wagers that may not influence the ultimate outcome of a match or tournament but are just as meaningful for Halo enthusiasts. You might want to be on a map going into overtime if you think two teams are evenly matched. Alternatively, you might want to bet on the number of kills per match of an enemy team using special weapons or the next map winner in play.

You can watch the action unfold in real time for free if logged in to your account.

Interesting Facts About Halo Halo wasn’t built to be a first-person shooter. Originally, it was developed to be played as a real-time strategy game mode, in the same manner as Warcraft or Command & Conquer. Hollywood movie director Steven Spielberg is in the process of producing a Halo television series for Showtime. Halo has become a hugely popular franchise away from consoles and PCs, with over 11 million Halo comics, books, and strategy guides bought worldwide. Bungie Studios revealed that their staff drank 24,000 gallons of soda and ate 20,000+ lbs worth of pizza and 1,000+ lbs of bananas in the three-year creative process for Halo 3.

The U.S. is easing restrictions on travel from a long list of countries, including Mexico, Canada and most of Europe, allowing tourists to make long-delayed trips and family members to reconnect with loved ones after more than a year and a half apart because of the pandemic. COVID-19 has upended lives in many ways, including through restrictions on travel. That has been felt acutely by those living near U.S. borders, where traveling back and forth was a way of life. New rules go into effect Monday that allow nonessential travel across America's land borders for vaccinated visitors. Customs and Border Protection says foreign travelers coming into the U.S. must be prepared to present proof of vaccination at checkpoints. Citizens and permanent legal residents of the U.S. are not required to present proof of vaccination. Nonessential travel into the U.S. from Canadian and Mexican border checkpoints has been closed since March 2020. While Canada reopened nonessential travel to those seeking to enter from the U.S. earlier this year, the White House held off lifting such restrictions on foreign travelers for several months. U.S. towns on the southern border are hoping Monday's reopening will bring a flood of visitors to the businesses that rely on them.

SNP MP Patrick Grady is facing suspension from the House of Commons after an allegation of sexual misconduct was upheld by a parliamentary probe. The independent expert panel recommended that Mr Grady should be suspended from the House for two days for making an “unwanted sexual advance” to a member of party staff at a work social event in a pub in 2016. Mr Grady was also ordered to make a public apology in the chamber and to say sorry privately to the person who complained. However the length of the suspension was shortened because, the panel said, the complainant “breached confidentiality repeatedly” in an attempt to discredit Mr Brady leading to “intrusive press activities and abuse on social media”. An investigation by Kathryn Stone, the parliamentary commissioner for standards, upheld a claim that Mr Grady had made an unwanted advance “that included touching and stroking of the complainant’s neck, hair and back”. The MP did not appeal the decision. Mr Grady was found to have breached parliament’s sexual misconduct policy. The panel considering his sanction concluded: “An unwanted physical touching, with sexual intent, from a senior MP to a junior member of staff, even on a single occasion, is a significant breach of the policy. “It must be marked by some period of suspension from the House.” It also took into account the MP’s “genuine remorse for his actions, that they were not repeated once rebuffed, and his efforts to address his behaviour since the incident”. The recommendation for a suspension must be agreed to by the House of Commons. The findings mark the latest chapter in a series of misconduct claims linked to parliament. The Sunday Times reported earlier this year that 56 MPs face allegations ranging from making sexually inappropriate comments to more serious wrongdoing. Last month, an unnamed Conservative MP was arrested on suspicion of rape and sexual assault offences spanning a seven-year period. Another Tory MP, Neil Parish, quit in May after me admitted watching pornography in the House of Commons. In April, Imran Ahmad Khan, also a Conservative MP, resigned after he was found guilty of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy.

A big chunk of ice has just broken away from the Arctic’s largest remaining ice shelf – 79N, or Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden – in north-east Greenland. The ejected section covers about 110 square km; satellite imagery shows it to have shattered into many small pieces. The loss is further evidence say scientists of the rapid climate changes taking place in Greenland. “The atmosphere in this region has warmed by about 3C since 1980,” said Dr Jenny Turton. “And in 2019 and 2020, it saw record summer temperatures,” the polar researcher at Friedrich-Alexander University in Germany told BBC News. Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden is roughly 80km long by 20km wide and is the floating front end of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream – where it flows off the land into the ocean to become buoyant. At its leading edge, the 79N glacier splits in two, with a minor offshoot turning directly north. It’s this offshoot, or tributary, called Spalte Glacier, that has now disintegrated. The ice feature was already heavily fractured in 2019; this summer’s warmth has been its final undoing. Spalte Glacier has become a flotilla of icebergs. Look closely at the satellite pictures and the higher air temperatures recorded in the region are obvious from the large number of melt ponds that sit on top of the shelf ice. The presence of such liquid water is often problematic for ice platforms. If it fills crevasses, it can help to open them up. The water will push down on the fissures, driving them through to the base of the shelf in a process known as hydrofracturing. This will weaken an ice shelf. Oceanographers have also documented warmer sea temperatures which mean the shelf ice is almost certainly being melted from beneath as well. “79N became ‘the largest remaining Arctic ice shelf’ only fairly recently, after the Petermann Glacier in northwest Greenland lost a lot of area in 2010 and 2012,” explained Prof Jason Box from the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS). “What makes 79N so important is the way it’s attached to the interior ice sheet, and that means that one day – if the climate warms as we expect – this region will probably become one of the major centres of action for the deglaciation of Greenland.” The Northeast Greenland Ice Stream drains about 15% of the interior ice sheet. The stream funnels its ice either down N79 or the glacial member just to the south, Zachariae Isstrom. Zachariae has already lost most of its floating ice shelf area. Prof Box said N79 could resist longer because it was penned in right at its forward end by some islands. This lends a degree of stability. But, he added, the shelf continues to thin, albeit mostly further back along the trunk. “This will likely lead to N79 disintegrating from the middle, which is kind of unique. I guess, though, that won’t happen for another 10 or 20 years. Who knows?” he told BBC News. July witnessed another large ice shelf structure in the Arctic lose significant area. This was Milne Ice Shelf on the northern margin of Canada’s Ellesmere Island. Eighty sq km broke free from Milne, leaving a still secure segment just 106 sq km in size. Milne was the largest intact remnant from a wider shelf feature that covered 8,600 sq km at the start of the 20th Century. The fast pace of melting in Greenland was underlined in a study last month that analysed data from the US-German Grace-FO satellites. These spacecraft are able to track changes in ice mass by sensing shifts in the pull of local gravity. They essentially weigh the ice sheet. The Grace mission found 2019 to have been a record-breaking year, with the ice sheet shedding some 530 billion tonnes. That’s enough meltwater running off the land into the ocean to raise global sea-levels by 1.5mm. Devoted web advocate. Bacon scholar. Internet lover. Passionate twitteraholic.

Smart drugs and nootropics are the latest craze these days. These are either synthetic or natural medication that elevates and allows a person to have much more efficient performance on a mental level, and therefore, affects a person’s productivity on a physical level as well. The thing is, there are so many different options available that it’s important that you trust where you’re purchasing these drugs from. Many people are finding that it’s better for smart drugs to be bought online, and this is true for those who can vouch for the distributor. It’s important that you do your research well before going forward with this step. So the question we want to answer today is, is it safe to buy smart drugs online? Read on to find out. Understand the Details of What You’re Buying This is a golden rule with pretty much any kind of online purchase. But in this case, you need to underline it a million times over. Read up on the details of what legit smart drugs should contain and really do your homework, so that when you go to order anything only, you’re able to narrow down and really be able to tell whether the site you’re buying the drug from is selling quality smart drugs or not. Sometimes, smart drugs are catered in terms of personality traits and needs, so this is something else you will have to learn about in order to be able to feel like you can confidently venture to buy smart drugs online. Make Sure the Product Has an EAN Code You can almost guarantee that a product is safe to buy online if you find that it has an EAN code. What this bar code means is that the company selling these drugs are well established and are traceable. This means they’re not likely to be selling anything that could harm you and ultimately, bring their reputation to the ground. Reviews Are Important You know that an online vendor is safe to buy from when they have a lot of reviews on different platforms. This is probably the best way to gauge whether you should be purchasing your smart drug from a particular online vendor or not. It’s always best to get a number of different people’s opinions on the matter to have yourself better informed on the reliability and quality of the vendor and the smart drugs that they sell. When it comes to questions like this, there is no solid black and white answer. There are avenues that are unsafe, and there are others that are completely reliable. The trick is really knowing how to weed out the bad ones and figure out what makes the good ones reliable and legit. A company that is reliable in the smart drugs that they sell will be as transparent as possible and will make it easy to contact them if you need any kind of assistance or guidance. Plus, those who have been around for a while will surely have a wide following of people, so be on the lookout for personal referrals as well. - Essential Items Every New Parent Should Have - August 8, 2020 - What to Look for When Hiring a Lawyer Online - July 4, 2020 - Pros and Cons of Riding a Bicycle to Get Around the City - May 28, 2020

This is a silly looking, but common pose that polar bears go into. They may even snooze a bit when like this, or push themselves along the snow like a snowplow to clean their tummies. The pose has even been adopted in some Yoga circles as an effective position for pregnant women in labour. This female bear and her two sub-adult cubs (two cubs in a litter is most common, although one and three are possible as well), were “lounging around” on the beach beside some logs, and I couldn’t help anthropomorphizing some captions for that photo based on the apparent pose… - “Hey Good Lookin, why don’t ya pull up a log and join us here, the kids are a bit bored watching the beach pebbles erode” - “I want you to draw me like one of your French girls” - “Hallow Hansum Photographer Man – Is that a big telephoto lens you have, or are you just happy to see me?” It’s always informative to look back at the historical context of how humans have treated and interacted with other species in the past. Unfortunately, it’s all too often horrendous. For your amusement or horror, it’s up to you. (https://www.vintag.es/2017/07/incredible-vintage-photos-showing.html) Source of these images from the net, but they are pretty crazy given what these Russians did in the 1950’s-70’s to stage a photo or two, but polar bears have such a great sense of smell, I am sure the scent of the condensed milk was to them like catnip is to a feline!) Now the Russian’s weren’t the only ones crazy about polar bears, in Germany from the 1920’s to 1960’s, it was a fad to pose with someone wearing a polar bear costume as one photograph collector (Jean-Marie Donat) discovered through a whole series of different images of people posing with costume “polar bears” in various locations, situations, and over that fourty year period. Image: TEDDYBÄR, a series from the Jean-Marie Donat Collection, Innocences Publishing Pre-dating the Selfie, I guess we could call it a PolarBear’ie And finally, I always go back to my authoritative source for advice on safaris and animals, the great master Gary Larson and his Farside comic strip!

Walking is free, eco-friendly, and good for your physical and mental health. However, pedestrians today are at risk of serious injury in a collision with a motor vehicle. If you have been hurt in a pedestrian accident, call Malloy Law Offices, LLC. Our experienced pedestrian accident lawyers are tough advocates for injured pedestrians. The most common causes of pedestrian accident cases are distracted driving and alcohol. If a driver is not paying attention to the road and to traffic signals, the chance that they’ll strike a pedestrian drastically increases. In recent years, texting while driving has played a role in more and more distracted driving accidents. Accidents caused by alcohol, whether the pedestrian or the driver, account for 47% of all pedestrian accidents. If the driver was drinking, they are more likely to swerve out of their lane and have slower reaction times. They won’t be able to recognize and correct their error as quickly as a sober driver would. Many times the driver is unaware of the speed they were traveling at the time of the drunk driving accident. This can lead to serious consequences for innocent pedestrians. Other causes include a driver failing to stop for a pedestrian in the crosswalk and failing to yield the right-of-way when turning on a green signal. A pedestrian who is in the crosswalk at the correct time has the right of way. Any driver who ignores this and proceeds to travel through the intersection and strikes the pedestrian is at fault. There are instances where a crosswalk is “unmarked”, or implied. A pedestrian has the right to use this implied crosswalk if they are facing a green signal unless it is a turn arrow, or if the implied crosswalk is directed by pedestrian control signs. The same rules that a driver would follow for a marked crosswalk also apply for unmarked crosswalks. Pedestrians are completely unprotected and vulnerable to serious injuries in a collision with a motor vehicle. Injuries commonly sustained in pedestrian accidents include: When someone has been injured in a pedestrian accident, their attorney will be looking at the following criteria when preparing their lawsuit: Fault plays an incredibly important role in personal injury cases. Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. are three of only five states to have contributory negligence, which means that if the victim is found to be even one percent at fault in their accident, they are barred from receiving any recovery, as their actions contributed to their injury. Typically, the more severe the victim’s injuries are, the higher the value of the prospective settlement. The cost and method of treatment for injuries and permanent or long-term effects from their injuries are also considered. Personal injury law can be complex. Anyone who was injured in a pedestrian accident can easily become overwhelmed trying to handle their case on their own. A lawyer can easily lift the burden of their case from the injured person’s shoulders. This allows the injured party to focus solely on their recovery. Lawyers have a multitude of legal resources at their disposal, including police reports, medical records, and witness statements. A skilled attorney will be able to gather the facts of the case, work with an adjuster, and come up with a settlement figure. This figure will be sufficient to take care of the plaintiff’s medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. The pedestrian accident attorneys at Malloy Law Offices, LLC are highly skilled in all areas of personal injury law. Our personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis – you pay us no fees until we recover compensation for you. Contact us today for your free consultation.

Today, I met Merlin, a young red tailed cockatoo who is being nurtured as an education bird at the Kaarakin Cockatoo Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre in the hills of Perth. Black Cockatoo Recovery Centre It is a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions when we wilfully allow our indigenous wildlife to be driven to starvation because of loss of habitat – drought, dieback, logging; bush fires and prescribed burning have brought our cockatoos to the brink of extinction. The competition for food in remaining habitat puts enormous pressure on those pockets of vegetation. It is critical any planned logging in the South West is immediately halted and retained as habitat areas and food sources for these iconic birds. Within the metropolitan area, land clearing for residential areas needs to be drastically controlled so that known feeding areas for black cockatoos are preserved and integrated into landscape planning for new developments – industrial, suburban and Government infrastructure.

Recently I have been really loving the transition from Summer into Fall that Kentucky has been going through. The summer here wasn’t unbearably hot, so I appreciate the warmth still, but I also like being able to play with layering for the cool mornings and evening. I am typically the last person you would catch wearing a cardigan (nothing against them, they are just not me), but this polka dot version has been sitting lonely in my closet for a while now and it seemed to fit perfectly with the rest of my outfit. I got this beautiful lace shirt from my grandma after one of her latest adventures around the world and I was inspired to wear it after learning of a possible trip in my future. There’s nothing like a little inspiration to help you keep working hard!
