Xero's subscription model helps them grow sustainably. They have trained and positioned Xero experts around the globe. The experts serve a region and sign up subscribers underneath them. By targeting professionals who may already have a client base that is in Xero's target market (for example, CPA's who advise startups or Bookkeepers who may be searching for something more user-friendly than Quickbooks) they have been able to scale quickly. It helps that their user interface is intuitive, as well.
My local meetup groups have been key to my success in connecting with others who have similar interests. I also say "yes" to networking groups and fundraisers that are outside what I would normally attend. I do this to create diversity within my network so I benefit from new perspectives. For example, a "Fancy Hat Ladies Tea" fundraiser that supports a dog shelter may be outside the tech industry, but I benefit in forming new connections, plus I gain valuable info on how to help my two clients who serve dog owners. One client operates a local dog boarding/grooming business and the other is a boutique store with locations on the Las Vegas Strip and the Town Square mall.
As mentioned already, a multi-faceted marketing strategy is essential to driving traffic to your app. Suggest using instagram's new feature for buying your app if your users are on inatagram. Facebook ads may also help drive traffic (but only if your app is targeted towards facebook users). Make sure you are creating updates and new features regularly and notifying your fans by email. Build your email list with a landing page that captures their email. In return for signing up for your news and updates, give people a free tips sheet. Keep a blog and regularly post stories about your game development and about game characters.
If I were you, I would network with two strategies in mind, since you have two target audiences: 1) Host monthly open house events to invite the community into your practice to meet you and your staff. Offer giveaways during the open house for free consultations and healthy gift baskets. 2) Visit networking meetings where you may find collaborators such as herbalists, massage therapists, physical therapists, etc. with whom you may form potential partnerships.

How to Choose the Best Canadian WordPress Hosting – 8 Tips to Save You Time and Money
If you're looking to launch a new blog, business, or website, you may wonder where to host your content. After all, you can't actually run your website from within Canada! That's where the best hosting comes in. So let's dive into the question of, "How do I choose the best Canadian WordPress Hosting?"
1. Go For The Cheapest
You may wonder if it's worth paying a little more for a top-notch Canadian WordPress Hosting plan. After all, you can always find cheaper web hosts out there. But if you ever read our reviews, you'll know that we always recommend going for the cheapest option until you try it out. Just remember: the cheapest doesn't always mean the best. There's a reason why most people go for the cheapest hosting plans — they usually come with lots of restrictions. So if you really want to save money, go for a free option or a very low-cost one. Don't worry, you won't lose any features by going with the cheapest option.
2. Get A Hosting Plan That Supports What You Need
The next step is to find out what features you need for your blog or website. Not all hosting plans are made equal, so you'll want to make sure you choose a plan that supports the features you need. There are four main things you'll want to check for: 1. Data Transfer 2. Disk Space 3. Security (for websites) 4. E-Mail (for blogs and websites)
Nowadays you won't find many hostings that don't offer all of these features. But if you're looking for a free option, you may have to do some searching. Once you've found a decent host, make sure you read their documentation thoroughly to make sure you're taking advantage of all their features.
3. Always Check For Additional Bonuses
Most web hosts will give you additional bonuses if you purchase a certain amount of hosting or if you register a certain number of domains or install a certain amount of WordPress on their servers. So if you're looking to save money, don't just go with the cheapest option — look for a hosting plan that offers additional bonuses for signing up or purchasing a specific number of services. For example, most web hosts give you 100 hours of free coaching if you purchase a dedicated hosting plan. So you'll want to compare that to the cost of hiring a quality Web developer to build your site from scratch.
4. Avoid Shared Hostings
If you're new to web hosting, you may be tempted to sign up for a shared hosting plan. These are the cheapest types of hosting, but they're also the most vulnerable to attacks. If you ever read our reviews, you' ll see that we always recommend against using shared hosting. It's a quick and easy way to lose all your blog content if your site gets hacked. So if you really want to save money, avoid shared hosting and choose a dedicated or virtual private server instead.
5. Don't Be Fooled By The Marketing Phrases
Just because a web host refers to themselves as a "managed WordPress hosting service" doesn't mean their product is any good. Just because they offer "military-grade" data protection and security doesn't mean your site will be any safer or more secure with them. Their marketing phrases mean nothing — go with what is said in their documentation and on their website itself. Are they providing quality customer service? Do they have a money-back guarantee? Those are the types of questions you need to ask before making a decision.
6. Find Out How Much Caching They Offers
Caching is the act of storing website content (such as images and CSS files) on a server so that future requests for that content can be served faster. Most web hosts offer some type of caching, but it's always optional. If you're looking to save money, don't just go with the cheapest option — make sure you're getting a plan with good caching so that your site will load faster. It's great if their caching is Varnish or Squid, but don't be afraid to ask them about it.
7. Consider The Location Of Their Data Center
This one is important because you don't want to end up with your website being hosted in a country with bad internet speed. If you're looking to save money, don't just go with the cheapest option — make sure you're getting a plan that's close to your target audience. The best way to determine that is by looking at the location of their data center. If you see that it's in a country with bad internet speed, it might be worth looking for a different hosting plan. Of course, you don't have to — you can always ask the support team for help.
8. Read Their Reviews Carefully
You'll never know if a web host is going to be trustworthy if you don't read all their reviews carefully. It's always important to look at other people's experiences when choosing a new host. If you can't find many good reviews, there's usually a reason why — the host may be ex- or semi-desirable, but it's definitely not perfect for everybody. If you do choose this option, make sure you do your research online so that you're not fooled by scam artists who try to trick you into purchasing a high-priced plan.
There, now you know how to choose the best Canadian WordPress Hosting. This information will save you a tremendous amount of time and money. You'll be able to focus on growing your business, not on trying to figure out how to run your website. If you stick to these guidelines, you'll be able to find a hosting plan that fits your needs perfectly. And when you do, you'll wonder why you ever bothered looking elsewhere. Good luck out there.

Neath Port Talbot Council has applied for planning permission to redevelop a key building in Neath Town Centre to provide new office accommodation.
It's hoped the new offices will help create jobs and business opportunities as well as attracting further economic investment to the area.
The historic, Grade II listed 8, Wind Street, with its sash windows and impressive stonework, has been vacant for more than 13 years and the refurbishment will be sympathetic to CADW requirements.
The scheme will also allow a small amount of onsite parking to complement the proposed office use. The building is located towards the top of Wind Street in Neath Town Centre and is surrounded by retail outlets on either side in what is the main retail area in Neath.
The planned new office complex at 8, Wind Street is part of ambitious redevelopment proposals for the centre of Neath which include a brand new swimming pool and leisure centre, providing modern facilities and boosting footfall in the town.
The new pool and leisure centre will replace the current, ageing facilities at nearby Dyfed Road and will be accompanied by six new retail units which will complement the existing town centre multi-storey car park, the Gwyn Hall leisure and arts facility and recently completed public realm improvements.
Councillor Annette Wingrave, Neath Port Talbot Council's Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Sustainable Development, said:
"The work will bring an iconic building within the town centre back in to use and help to support the regeneration of the town centre.
"The main principle for the alterations at 8, Wind Street is to return this well known, vacant building back into an asset and to return the building to use in the current market."

Redesigning the online classroom experience
A case study.
Udit Shakya
Design Brief📂
Google classroom came out as a solution to schools in the coronavirus pandemic but, with great powers comes great responsibilities 🕷, and google couldn't keep up with the school's and student's needs. It was a personal project and my role was of a product designer, constraints were limited data and metrics I worked on solving problems of overs Millions of students, parents and teachers, let's find out how. 🧐
User Research🔎
The research was done with a total of 10 people which includes 6 students and 4 parents, through one to one interviews and phone calls. I also referred to the internet, twitter and play store to gain insights on the problems faced by students, teacher and parents.
I was able to find some experienced designers like Niteesh and Rahul addressing the same issue which kinda gave validation to my hypothesis and research.
Pain Points Discovered💢
- Tech barrier makes logging in experience difficult.
- Use of 2–3 different apps to manage online classes.
- Online classes lack discipline.
- Bad UX copy and poor visual feedback.
So, how big the problem is ? This much ⏬
Unfortunately, students from the government schools could hardly afford a smartphone, so let's discuss about those who have access to smartphones.
Now let's try fixing each of these problems one by one.😁
1. Tech barriers make login difficult😥
Only 2 out of 10 users were able to login to the app without any assistance.
Android was launched in 2008 and ios was launched in 2007 and after that, it took 7 years more in India for smartphones to reach 242 M users which were 18% of the total population (2015), Hence -
- Parents are not familiar using apps like Gmail and setting up accounts.
- Students of grade 1st to 8th are also not familiar with setting up accounts.
Logging using School ID and Parent's number📲
The new design brings a 2-step process, which uses school id and parent's number to log in, this makes login easy because -
- Parents are familiar with receiving text SMS and OTPs.
- Gives more control to parents in case of password lost.
2. Use of 2–3 apps to manage online classes📚
- Microsoft Team is made for offices and teams.
- Each app has its own method to operate and it's difficult to learn them altogether.
- Each app requires different accounts to manage.
Making Google Classroom a one-step solution⚡
Schools need 2 basic features video conferencing to conduct classes, chat to send announcements and interact.
- The new design integrates google meet with google classroom to conduct video conferencing.
- Announcement tab allows interaction with students, send messages and instructions.
- The new design has records of previous classes which allows parents to check attended/missed classes.
3. Online classes lack discipline😤
- You must have seen memes or videos where students enter the wrong name to bully teachers.
- Parents have no idea what's going on in classes, students often are found busy with entertainment apps during their live class.
What makes schools disciplined that our app can incorporate?🤔
To understand this let's look at a typical day of any student.
- Strict timings.
- Under teachers' surveillance 24×7
- Fear getting reported for misbehaving.
- Control over students.
Let's see how I improved discipline with these insights.
A. Strict Timings
B. Control over students
C. Teachers' surveillance
4. Bad UX copy and poor visual feedback😵
- 9 out of 10 users couldn't understand "hand in" meaning.
- 4 out of 10 users couldn't tell if their work was submitted or not.
According to the first two principles of Heuristics -
- The system should always keep users informed about what is going on, through appropriate feedback within a reasonable time.
- The system should speak the users' language, with words, phrases and concepts familiar to the user, rather than system-oriented terms.
- Students can easily understand submit meaning instead of hand in.
- Loading animation gives good visual feedback after submission.
- Smaller touch target for withdrawing homework prevents accidental click.
Results of redesign😍
I tested the new design with the same 10 users and found out -
- 60% increase in successful login rates.
- Integrations of google meet made it easy to join classes without setting up an account.
- All parents felt more trust in online classes after improved discipline measures
- 80% increase in understanding the UX copy on the first time.
- 60% increase in users who were sure if their work is submitted or not.

Working from home is retaining its popularity even as health concerns recede. Hitting the road in recreational vehicles also surged during the last couple of years, and it continues to trend. Combining these two lifestyles is now more possible than ever, with fast internet connectivity available across the country. Arizona is well equipped to provide for this new generation of digital RV nomads in motorhomes.
Health concerns are minimized on vacations spent only with close friends or family, which triggered a rise in the sales of motorhomes, campers and caravans. And more campgrounds are being built — over 15,000 new RV sites were added this winter nationwide, and existing ones are being expanded. For anyone who earns money working online, they frequently offer WiFi and a range of features to make the lifestyle comfortable.
READ ALSO: 15 must-see places for an Arizona road trip
Arizona's long-standing reputation as a snowbird destination means it is already well set up for anyone who works online from their RV. They can do this at one of the many campsites that offer WiFi or using mobile hotspots on a cellular network. In addition, there is now satellite internet — for a few hundred dollars spent on hardware and a subscription, this can give you access even in remote Arizonan locations.
Urban Arizona Gives Online RVers Great Internet
Metro Phoenix campgrounds offer RVers reasonable costs and a wide range of features, a recent study of the best U.S. destinations for RVing shows. The great majority provide hook ups for electric, water and sewerage and also allow pets. In addition, swimming pools are a common feature — and you might get a game of shuffleboard! The top-ranked Valley of the Sun destinations in the study are Mesa (29th) — where the average internet speed is 480 Kbps — and Apache Junction (39th), with several dozen campgrounds each.
However, Tucson beats them for all-round RVing friendliness, scoring 11th place in the analysis. The internet is super-fast at 482 Kbps — almost nowhere else was found to have a higher average speed — and WiFi is available in around three quarters of the campsites. Again, there are usually hook ups for all the necessary utilities and pets are allowed, plus around two thirds of the campgrounds have pull-thru parking for the convenience of customers.
Smaller Arizona Hot Spots Welcome Digital Nomads
RVing digital workers should also check out Yuma, which scored 12th position in the study. It has dozens of campsites, so they can easily find the features they need. Any clients needing to work online can take advantage of the WiFi that around half the campgrounds provide and an above-average local internet speed of 298 Kbps.
Smaller Arizonan cities punch above their weight at attracting the RV community. Lake Havasu City has very high air quality along with an average internet speed of 316 Kbps, earning it a 25th place in the study. Quartzsite has a huge number of campgrounds for RVs while nearby Salome's campsites offer comforts such as swimming pools and cable TV — both places scored top-50 positions.
Casa Grande gets a ranking of 22, winning out with a dozen or so campgrounds that all provide hookups for water, electric and sewerage, plus they allow pets, and a high proportion of them offer swimming pools. Locals know it is more than a dormitory town, and visiting RVers would enjoy the golf courses, family activities, museums and the Picacho Peak State Park.
What Arizona-Bound RVers Need to Know
To be efficient, mobile online workers are advised not to move too often. Any digital nomad RVer who wishes to stay in Arizona longer than a few weeks in winter can make life more comfortable by renting a storage unit. For instance, there are more than a dozen Casa Grande self storage facilities, where RVers can put extra stuff like golf clubs, bikes and hiking gear so their motorhomes don't get cluttered and they can enjoy their downtime.
Newcomers to Arizona should prepare themselves for a range of weather. While the winters are hardly the USA's coldest, there can be snow and temperatures that require putting a coat on. Any RVers staying more than a season will need clothing of several types, and the mountains and deserts require different gear. This is another case where renting a nearby storage unit can free up precious living space in the RV.
Arizona offers a great deal for digital nomad RVers, giving them what they need to work and play. Smaller cities often come up with the goods, giving access to both nature and city life plus a range of RV camping options, making them also suitable for longer stays. And Arizonans could get to know their home state better by hopping into an RV rather than paying rent, carrying out their online work there and never straying too far from their physical offices and friends.

Disposable vapes taste better because they have a higher concentration of flavor profiles that you wouldn't necessarily get with reusable vapes. Also, because disposable vapes come with nicotine salts. These make the vapes more flavorful than regular vapes do.
In this guide, you'll learn more about the flavors available with disposable vape devices and which flavors are the best when trying these disposables.
A disposable vape is a great way of getting to know a new brand, trying a new flavor and having the ease of just vaping without having to do anything other than unpackaging it and taking a pull.
Top 5 best flavors Disposables vapes
There are some great flavors when it comes to disposable vapes. The flavors you choose will depend on what taste preferences you have. For example, some like savoury flavors whilst others will want something sweet and fruity. From candy flavors to dessert and cocktails, there's not that many flavors that haven't been covered with vape devices.
When choosing our top best flavors for disposable vapes, we've thought about different flavors and the intensity of these flavors when used as a disposable vape. All of the below suggestions are well worth trying if you've never branched out further than just a few of your standard flavor choices.
With the disposable vaping market growing, you'll likely see plenty more flavor combinations being created. It's worth trying more disposable vape pods when new flavors become available.
1. Lush Ice Fume Extra
Regular price $18.95 Sale price $15.95
Rating: 9 out of 10
Lush Ice is a great flavor for anyone who loves the taste of watermelon. It's an icy menthol style kick that's combined with fruity notes. When it comes to every puff, you'll get a satisfying throat hit that lasts every time.
It's a lusciously delicious flavor that many will enjoy trying across a range of devices that are available with this flavor. When using disposable vape pods, you get an intense flavor that's perfect for the summer and particularly enjoyable during your summer vacations.
You can try the Lush Ice in the Fume Extra, Fume Infinity or the HQD Cuvie. Each device provides a great flavor enhancer for the Lush Ice and is a great option for those who loved smoking menthol cigarettes. That same icy kick is provided with this flavor vape. The salt nicotine adds to the icy effect that it provides when inhaling.
2. Double Apple Fume Infinity
Regular price $29.95 Sale price $23.95
Rating: 9 out of 10
What's better than one apple? Two of course. Double Apple is a traditional flavor that you'll find many disposable vape pods provide.
Double Apple is a best seller as it offers a refreshing taste of red juicy apples. If you're a fan of fruit flavors, then this one will hit the mark every time. It's the perfect in between if you like sweet flavors for your vape but not to the extremes of cotton candy for example.
The apple taste provides a refreshing finish that will taste great as a new user to vaping or if you're a regular vaper looking for something new to try.
Again, Double Apple is a popular flavor for many vape brands including Fume with it being available in their Extra, Ultra and Infinity devices.
As an e cigarette, it's definitely a flavor that you must try and you'll likely want to purchase again and again.
3. Ice Mint Fume Infinity
Rating: 8 out of 10
Guaranteed to be one of your favorite flavors for vaping, the Ice Mint is perfect for anyone who wants a savory flavor when vaping. Similar to that of menthol cigarettes for any ex smoker looking for something similar, the Ice Mint offers a refreshing minuty hit with every puff you take.
The pre filled pod systems in this flavor are intense and go really well with the nic salts included in the mix. As an e liquid, it's popular because it's a middle ground between the more sweet or smoky flavors that you can get in a vape juice.
Ice Mint is a great one for those who have quit smoking and want something that closely resembles that of their mentol cigarette days. You can get this flavor in a number of devices from the HQD Cuvie to the Fume models.
If you're looking for a reliable and popular vape juice then this is one you'll have to try out.
4. Strawberry Banana HQD
Rating: 8 out of 10
This is a flavor combination that is reminiscent of childhood milkshakes. It's why it's so popular with many vape users. Whilst it's not for everyone, this flavor offers a great mix of sweet and tangy strawberries to the creaminess of a banana.
It's one that'll remind you of strawberry ice cream or banana splits. As an e juice, it's a good one for getting an intense flavor with every single puff.
There's some great devices that you can get this flavor on. The ultra portable HQD Cuvie for example or opt for the bigger devices of the Fume Ultra or Infinity. If you're someone that does a lot of vaping, it's worthwhile getting the bigger devices due to their e juice capacity.
5. Blueberry Raspberry HQD Cuvie Plus
Rating: 7.5 out of 10
The Blueberry flavor is a first choice for many who love this fruit and want something that isn't too sweet or sickly. With lots of different flavors, it can be hard to pick which one to choose but the Blueberry often comes out on top as a favorite.
Whatever disposable e cig you get, you'll find plenty of intense flavor that comes with this option. You can get it with the HQD Cuvie and Cuvie Plus, as well as the Fume models too.
If you're looking for some of the best disposable vapes on the market, then these top five are a good starting point for any vape users.

Disposable vapes do tend to have more flavor because they've got a higher concentration within the e liquid itself. The other reason is down to the nic salts that are added to the device too that enhances the flavor of the vape liquid itself. That's why disposables tend to have a more intense flavor both when inhaling and smelling it in the air.
These disposable vapes are great if you're looking try a new vape juice that has come onto the market. The devices really bring out the best in any e juice that you try.
How long do disposable vape pens last?
When it comes to the duration of disposable vapes, it all depends on the size of the device. Those with up to 3,500 puffs like the Fume Infinity for example, will likely last a week or two depending on your usage. These are a great option for those who are trying to quit smoking.
For the smaller devices, they're going to be more useful for the occasional vaper or someone who wants to test out a new flavor but perhaps doesn't want a week's worth of it. These pre filled devices are a good way to test out whether you want that device or flavor for the long-term.

You can't choose the name you're born with. Sometimes your chosen profession and your unchosen name can suggest a certain nominative determinism. Who can forget the challenges that faced the former Archbishop of Manila, Cardinal Sin? Or the US TV meteorologist Amy Freeze, whose stints in Chicago and New York seemed to portend inevitable cold snaps even in the summer?
It is with this in mind that we congratulate Citi's newly appointed head of banking, capital markets and advisory division (BCMA) for Australia and New Zealand: Alex Cartel.
Cartel's appointment was announced in April after the promotion of Tony Osmond to chairman of BCMA for Australia and New Zealand.
Still, if there's ever a good time to be called Cartel, this might be it. Perhaps there's a certain symmetry in Alex's promotion just after an ill-judged cartel case, brought by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) against banks including Citi, collapsed in ignominy.

Lighthouses may be the most recognizable symbols of Door County. Eleven dot the shoreline of the county, and three more stand guard for our neighbors to the south in Kewaunee County. They're iconic and mysterious, and for more than a century, they have sparked the curiosity of nearly everyone who lays eyes on them.
This weekend offers rare opportunities to feed that curiosity during the 30th Door County Spring Lighthouse Festival.
This fundraising weekend includes air, land, boat and adventure tours that provide access to all 11 of the treasured lighthouses of Door County and three to the south. Many of the tour excursions are part of the Lighthouse Festival weekends only, providing visitors with exclusive access to structures that are not typically open to the public: Chambers Island, Plum Island and Sherwood Point. And there are tours for all levels of activity and accessibility.
Boat tours depart from a variety of locations around the peninsula, including Fish Creek, Gills Rock, Baileys Harbor and Sturgeon Bay.
Some tours are already sold out, but opportunities remain for many others, such as the schooner cruise aboard the Edith M. Becker.
Participants will board a 19th-century tall ship to sail the shoreline and get a waterfront view of Eagle Bluff Lighthouse while learning about local lore and history with the crew of Sail Door County.
You can also feed your curiosity through a tour with Fish Creek Scenic Boat Tours to Chambers Island to hike and explore the Chambers Island Lighthouse with expert docents. The more adventurous can kayak to the Cana Island Lighthouse with Door County Adventure Center or take a bay-to-lake sightseeing cruise with Shoreline Scenic Boat Tours through the Sturgeon Bay ship canal. Learn Door County history, see stunning waterfront homes and get an up-close view of the Sturgeon Bay Pierhead lighthouse.
These are just a few of the many rare opportunities available to lighthouse lovers this weekend. Learn more at dcmm.org, and get tickets at doorcountytickets.com.

Deletion of long arm of chromosome 20 [del(20q)] is the second most frequent recurrent chromosomal abnormality in hematological malignancies. It is detected in 10% of myeloproliferative neoplasms, 4–5% of myelodysplastic syndromes, and 1–2% of acute myeloid leukaemia. Recurrent, non-random occurrence of del(20q) indicates that it is a pathogenic driver in myeloid malignancies. Genetic mapping of patient samples has identified two regions of interest on 20q – the "Common Deleted Region" (CDR) and "Common Retained Region" (CRR), which was often amplified. We proposed that the CDR contained tumor suppressor gene(s) (TSG) and the CRR harbored oncogene(s); loss of a TSG together with over-expression of an oncogene favored development of myeloid malignancies. Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor T (PTPRT) and Hemopoietic cell kinase (HCK) were identified to be the likely candidate TSG and oncogene respectively. Retroviral transduction of HCK into PTPRT-null murine LKS+ stem and progenitor cells resulted in hyperproliferation in colony forming assays and hyperphosphorylation of intracellular STAT3. Furthermore, over half of the murine recipients of these transduced cells developed erythroid hyperplasia, polycythemia and splenomegaly at 12 months, although no leukemic phenotype was observed. The findings suggested that HCK amplification coupled with PTPRT loss in del(20q) leads to development of a myeloproliferative phenotype.

Courtesy DoubleTree Cambridge
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — A multiphase renovation at the DoubleTree Suites by Hilton- Cambridge has given the 308-suite hotel a look that fits its location on Boston's fringe.
Interior designers took inspiration from nearby Harvard University and from Cambridge, by using brick and stone accents, and colors popular in the communities.
"The hotel's new look combines architectural and design elements that embody both the leafy, collegiate town atmosphere of Cambridge while incorporating the dynamism and vibrancy of a large urban city, which is Boston," said Larry Traxler, an executive with Hilton Worldwide.
Like many hotels, the DoubleTree has remade its lobby, turning it into a gathering and work space. A single front desk has been replaced by three modular check-in pods, several seating areas were created around a fireplace, and a business center has been expanded and makes use of a serpentine table equipped with power outlets. A grab-and-go area stocked with ready-made meals, snacks and beverages has also opened.
The hotel's seasonal rooftop terrace, for private events of up to 100, is now outfitted with contemporary furniture in blues and greens. The terrace takes advantage of the hotel's location on the Charles River and its views of the Boston and Cambridge skylines.
The renovation also improved 9,500 square feet of meeting and banquet space with new furniture, carpet, wall coverings, window treatments and fixtures.
Guests can park in a secure parking garage and use the hotel's free shuttle to travel into Boston or Harvard Square.
The hotel is 15 minutes from Logan International Airport and convenient to Storrow Drive and Interstate 90, the Massachusetts Turnpike. Harvard University, Boston University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Fenway Park are nearby.

Advertising agency in Cooperstown
Paper details: You work for a small advertising agency in Cooperstown, N.Y, near the Baseball Hal-of fame. Your agency's principal advertising clients are businesses in town, some of whom sell baseball memorabilia, The agency has a good record of placing advertisements for its clients in both real space and on the internet. Many of these small stores have both physical and internet presence. Last week, you were looking at the website of Kendrick Sports, the largest seller of baseball memorabilia in New York. Kendrick is not your client, and try as you have, you have not been able to obtain their business.
Advertising agency in Cooperstown
The Kendrick website contains a database of information about the recent sales and auctions Kendrick has held for athlete-signed jerseys and jackets, baseball cards, and signed photos of famous players. The Kendrick website offers a brief, factual description of the merchandise, the price at which it was sold, a photo of the item, and the date of the sale. There are thousands of entries, going back at least 5 years. As you scrolled through the Kendrick web page entries, you had an idea for a new website that would provide would-be consumers with a place to research the market for these hard-to-price items.
Advertising agency in Cooperstown
The new website would be a good marketing tool for your agency's clients, and by putting their sales information into your company's database, the website you envision would be even more comprehensive. You have 10 small clients in town that you believe would be interested in joining in and contributing sales of their data, but the key to making it all work is to incorporate the Kendrick information. You check the Kendrick's site and find a short Terms of Use Agreement. The Kendrick Agreement is directed only to "cookies" and data collection and does not say anything about using scrapers, bots, or other technological means when surfing their site.
Advertising agency in Cooperstown
Your technician Can easily build a computer program to download the past-sales data on the Kendrick site You mention your idea to Carla Speil, the head of your agency. She is intrigued. But is it legal, she asks? Ms. Speil sees the rewards…. "But it seems like stealing. If we do it, what will we tell our clients?" she asks as she walks away. If the agency proceeds with your idea, you will earn a substantial bonus. You know that to convince Ms. Spell, in addition to addressing the legal question, you will also have to address persuasively that last thing she said Write a one-page memo, Ms. Speil says, answering her questions. https://youtu.be/h6kucKbossM

Stoke City Football Club is to undertake a five year development programme at the bet365 Stadium and Clayton Wood training ground, due to get underway mid 2022. The initial phase of the programme, costing more than GBP£4m, will commence at the end of the current campaign and is scheduled to be completed ahead of the 2022/23 season.
The work represents the largest infrastructure project carried out by the Club since the construction of the South East Corner Stand, installation of two state-of-the-art big screens, matchday media centre and further provision of disabled facilities at the bet365 Stadium in 2017.
Richard Smith, Stoke City FC Vice Chairman, said:
The work we will be carrying out represents the start of a five-year refurbishment and construction programme across our properties.
Several of the projects we will be undertaking this summer are still out to tender but the total cost will exceed £4 million and we are confident the work we are carrying out at the bet365 Stadium will significantly enhance the match-day experience for supporters.
The refurbishment programme represents a significant investment by the Club's owners and underlines their continuing commitment to the Football Club.
Transformational project
In the biggest project, Delilah's Bar will undergo a complete transformation into a sports bar on the lower floor, complete with a new lay-out, the installation of large screen TVs, new toilet facilities and enhanced bar and catering facilities.
The upper level will also be refurbished with more of a function suite feel. Both facilities will also be available events and functions on non-match days. The existing kitchen on the ground level will be upgraded and a new kitchen will be installed on the upper level.
In addition, more than 8,400 new seats will be installed in the Franklyn Stand, bringing the seating in line with the rest of the stadium, which was upgraded over the course of 2016 and 2017, whilst the concourses in the Tile Mountain and South Stands will be upgraded with new washroom facilities replacing those installed when the stadium was built in 1997.
Various facilities in the West Stand will be refurbished and upgraded as part of this year's programme.
Stoke City has a number of job vacancies currently open, including for a Group Ticket Sales Executive and another for a Conference & Events Sales Manager. Click here to find out more.
The Chairman's Suite and Boardroom, which are currently two separate rooms next to each other, will be converted into one room that can accommodate 60 guests and will bear all the hallmarks of the most prestigious venue in the stadium.
Enhanced hospitality
Visiting directors and their guests will continue to be entertained in the room on match-days, whilst new and exclusive corporate hospitality packages will also be available to purchase.
The prestigious facility, which the EFL Championship side are confident will be unrivalled in the city of Stoke-on-Trent, will also be available for hire on non-match-days for business events and private functions.
The Players' Lounge is also to undergo a complete regeneration, making it a first-class facility for use on matchdays by the first-team squad and their families but also available for corporate or private hire on non-matchdays.
The Stanley Matthews Lounge will also undergo a complete refurbishment to include a new display of memorabilia and imagery documenting the career of the city's most celebrated player.
Meanwhile, a new synthetic, all-weather pitch will be installed at Clayton Wood for use by the first-team, all Stoke City Academy line-ups and Women's sides.
Smith added:
The work will not get underway until this season is completed so supporters will notice no difference to their matchday experience.
However, we are confident that when they return to the bet365 Stadium for the start of the 2022/23 campaign they will notice a significant improvement.

What does a typical session look like?
Appointments at Perform Physical Therapy and Wellness are an hour long. In initial evaluations we will start with a detailed subjective history, perform physical tests, and have you perform functional movements before reviewing them together to make sense of what is causing your pain with you. We will then get into our manual therapy techniques including; myofascial release, cupping, joint mobilizations, traction, and more! From there we head into the gym to work on strengthening and mobility as needed using dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells, cable machines, bands, and more!
Do you take my insurance?
At Perform Physical Therapy and Wellness we are a fee for service, cash based clinic which allows us to:
a) spend a full hour of one-on-one time together and
b) treat each client as a whole and not be limited by an insurance contract.
With this model we have been able to get people feeling, moving, and performing better quicker than in traditional settings. This means we do not take insurance up front, however, we have a biller that will create a superbill to submit to your insurance for you to receive reimbursement and/or to apply it towards your deductible! As long as you have a PPO or Tricare you will get partial reimbursement for your sessions!
If you have any questions regarding any of the above information feel free to give us a call at (858) 208-0402 and one of us will be happy to help answer your questions!
Why should I use an out of network provider?
The insurance based health-care model has created a system where the emphasis is placed on how many people can we fit in the door, how quickly can we treat them, all while reducing reimbursement to providers. This has led to decreased overall physical therapy care, but is not limited to just physical therapy, it affects all regions of health care.
Our goal at Perform Physical Therapy and Wellness is to put you first. In order to do that we create enough time 1 on 1 to listen to your goals, create a plan to help you, and help walk you through the process of reaching them the whole way. You should leave every PT session feeling accomplished, feeling better than when you came in, and with a better understanding of your progress. Not the feeling of not progressing, doing the same exercises over and over, and not having the time to talk with your PT.

The year 2023 heralds in transformational changes for Corpus Christi College Maroubra, formerly known as Champagnat Catholic College Pagewood.
Along with a name change, the first ever co-educational year group in the formerly all boys school were welcomed into Year 7.
"I'm very excited to be at the same school as my big brother," said Year 7 student, Zoe Brown. "It's very exciting to be able to go to a school where I can learn and grow around boys and girls," she said.
The Year 7 students are starting their secondary school learning journey among some brand new state of the art facilities.
"The science facilities at this school are amazing, and I am really looking forward to the new creative arts spaces," said Tom Wallis, currently in Year 7.
Students will benefit from the initial stage of the innovative rebuild through their use of cleverly designed collaborative spaces that will support diverse subject choice and promote critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills.
"I can't wait to learn about everything! This school has so many subjects, I'm going to find out what I'm good at and what I love," commented Year 7 student, Violet Summerbarnes.
Phases Two and Three will deliver a three-storey building with a resource centre, seminar rooms and ten more learning spaces including a covered outside learning area.
An expanded curriculum with greater choice in electives and sports will allow the new co-ed year group to discover their passions and develop personalised learning pathways along the way.
"We are excited to see Corpus Christi College continue to evolve into a dynamic place of co-education where every child will have the opportunity to develop their gifts and talents in state-of-the-art facilities," said principal, Mr Craig Mooney.
To complement the new name and direction, the college has also updated its branding to include a new school crest.
The modernised crest will blend the old with the new to include the former elements of the Bible and book (representing learning), the Marist symbol (representing Mary) and the newly included chalice and host to signify Corpus Christi – the body of Christ.
Holding true among the many exciting new changes for Corpus Christi, will be the college's continued commitment to the Marist tradition and its pursuit of excellence in teaching and learning.
Join us at our open day on 8 March 2023 at 3.00-6.30pm and experience for yourself Excellence in education, Innovation in facilities and Coeducation for your son or daughter. Corpus Christi Catholic College—an exceptional educational choice for the whole family!

Love by the Numbers: Using Game Theory to Calculate Romantic Success
Read a summary or generate practice questions using the INOMICS AI tool
Following up on last year's Valentine's Day post Would you Date an Economist?, this year we'll tackle the next step: how to predict the potential success of your relationship – using game theory. Once again, we've compiled a list of authors, researchers and scholars who have attempted to crack the code of love using numbers and logic.
1) This Atlantic article discusses an app called Kahnoodle, which uses game theory to help couples keep a spark in their relationships.
2) In this concise piece for the Huffington Post, the author uses well-crafted anecdotes to guide you through a game theory analysis of the quandaries of dating.
3) This Science 2.0 article cites a study in the Journal of Theoretical Biology that uses game theory to explain why females opt for a long "courtship" period in order to weed out "bad" males.
4) In this paper, philosopher Mark Colyvan argues that successful long-term relationships are in fact a result of narrow self-interest, all explained by game theory.
5) In this piece for Psychology Today, evolutionary epistemologist Dr. Jeremy Sherman addresses the difficulty of a heartbreak-free breakup, and how game theory can help you achieve it.
6) This post from the blog Ready to Be Caught delves into a specific strategy within game theory labeled "tit for tat". Using examples and a step-by-step approach, the author gives advice on the most effect strategies in the game of attraction.
7) In this post on the Mind Your Decisions blog, the author claims, "if you follow this advice, you'll maximize your chance of finding true love." Now there's a reason to use game theory!
8) Daily Beast editor Paula Szuchman gets down to the nitty gritty in this article based on her book It's Not You, It's the Dishes. By taking game theory into the realm of marriage, Szuchman discusses how to "achieve the best results possible" in a long-term relationship.
9) Moving away from romantic love, this article from the journal Psychological Science uses game theory to suggest that "in-group love" is more likely to occur than "out-group hate" in intergroup conflict.
10) Finally, here is a video in which Yale professor Barry Nalebuff discusses the application of game theory to relationships and other aspects of life.
Now that you're armed with all of this game theory-based relationship insight, we would like to wish you a happy Valentine's Day!

On Wednesday, May 14, Ontario's Campaign to Raise the Minimum Wage used the provincial election to re-assert the demand for a $14 minimum wage for all workers. Although the general minimum wage is set to increase to $11 on June 1 thanks to pressure from across the province, this 75 cent hike will still leave full-time minimum wage earners more than 16 per cent below the poverty line. This helps explain why the call for a $14 minimum wage continues to resonate across the province.
The May 14 action highlighted the challenges faced by young workers in today's labour market. Importantly, the Ontario Federation of Labour and the Canadian Federation of Students-Ontario, along with the Campaign to Raise the Minimum Wage, sponsored the action. Young workers — those under 25 years of age — comprise the majority of minimum wage earners; since 2008, the proportion of young people in minimum wage jobs has increased dramatically.
But a decent minimum wage is not just a youth issue. According to the Wellesley Institute, in Ontario today, about one million workers earn less than $14.25 an hour and more than 60 per cent of them are adults over the age of 25. Racialized workers are almost 50 per cent more likely to be in low-income work and women comprise a higher proportion of low-income workers in every demographic category. These workers face all the same challenges as young workers.
Alongside concerns about growing inequality, public opinion polls have consistently shown high support for raising the minimum wage. Indeed, the suggestion that any person working full-time ought not to live in poverty seems like a no-brainer for people of all political stripes. Yet it is clear that it will take a significant mobilization from below to push decision-makers to act.
This is precisely the lesson being learned in the United States where, on May 15, the largest strike to date of fast food and retail workers took place in 150 cities (and in more than 30 countries around the world) to back their demand for a $15 minimum wage.
In a referendum last fall, voters in the Seattle suburb of SeaTac adopted Proposition 1. This historic victory establishes a $15 minimum wage, annual cost of living increases and — for the first time — a modest number of paid sick days for minimum wage earners within the jurisdiction. At the same time, Seattle voters elected to council Kshama Sawant, an openly socialist candidate who put the $15 minimum wage issue at the heart of her campaign platform. So popular was her campaign that she defeated an incumbent councilor and known Democrat.
In fact, Seattle's widespread support for a $15 minimum wage pushed both leading mayoral candidates to declare their support for the wage hike. These electoral victories were preceded by a wave of organizing that included mass walkouts at fast food stores across Seattle.
This month, the Seattle council is debating a proposal that would phase-in an indexed $15 minimum wage over the next three to seven years. Meanwhile, under the banner of "The Rent Won't Wait," Seattle's Fight for $15 continues to demand an immediate increase to $15 and joined the May 15 strike action. They want a November ballot similar to SeaTac's Proposition 1.
Service work is the fastest growing sector of the economy. It is significant that over the past two years, fast food, retail and grocery store walkouts have taken place in multiple cities across the United States — an incredible accomplishment for non-union workers who are helping to remind all of us that that, with or without a formal union, economic power resides with workers in every workplace.
But the use of strike action is only the most visible part of an ongoing and painstaking effort to build grassroots campaigns that are shaped and led by low-income workers themselves. Community-labour alliances in Chicago, New York, Seattle, Minneapolis, Austin and elsewhere have put the question of wages and self-activity at the heart of the campaigns.
Crucially, the fight to raise the minimum wage has been linked directly to the right to form unions; indeed, many activists see the fight for $15 as an extension of the struggle to protect and extend trade union rights in the face of anti-union attacks.
This latter point is a critical one. The fight to raise the minimum wage here — or anywhere else — is not a fight solely for non-union workers. As the labour movement knows all too well, low wages anywhere mean downward pressure on wages everywhere. Raising the wage floor means challenging deep-seated assumptions many of us hold about how work is valued and who is deserving (or undeserving) of higher wages. And indeed, to defend a wage hike for any worker — unionized or not — means confronting the myth that raising workers' wages necessarily means expensive coffee, high priced automobiles or a ballooning public deficit.
Neither is the fight to raise the minimum wage an act of charity or an effective public relations strategy to improve the public's attitude toward unions (though this might be a happy side-effect of such work).
In Ontario, there are, quite literally, thousands of unionized workers in the public and private sectors who earn less than $14 an hour. The $14 minimum wage campaign offers a unique opportunity for union and non-union workers to come together as equals to engage in a common cause. It is a campaign that unites older and younger workers, that links workers across sectors, that generates solidarity with and among women and racialized workers, and that has the potential to lift all boats. In short, the $14 minimum wage campaign is about rebuilding working-class solidarity.
This is precisely why the fight for a $14 minimum wage is a key plank in the fight against Tim Hudak and the general austerity agenda in all its forms — an agenda that seeks to drive down workers' wages here and everywhere else. By attacking union structures, restricting collective bargaining, curtailing the right to strike, undermining workers' ability to pool their financial resources through dues collection and restricting union expenditures, the world's 1% seeks to fragment and disarm workers' ability to resist collectively.
Hudak's promise to cut 100,000 public sector jobs is as much about dismantling the social safety net, dividing workers and weakening public sector unions as it is about handing over yet another windfall to already profitable corporations.
Unfortunately, in the Ontario election, no political party has yet raised the banner of the $14 minimum wage. And although the ONDP has the best position with a $12 minimum wage phased in over two years, this wage would still leave full-time workers 12 per cent below the poverty line, even if it were indexed to the cost of living. Nevertheless, the Ontario election provides progressives with an opportunity to reassert the urgency and necessity of a $14 minimum wage.
By seizing this opportunity to build the confidence of our friends and allies — including NDP candidates — to stand up and speak out, we can lay the foundation for what lies ahead after the election. Indeed, the most crucial weapon in our fight against Hudak is not at the ballot box, but rather in the strength of the movements on the streets and ultimately, in the workplaces.

March 16, 2006 Chantilly, VA -- A joint report from BIA Financial Network (BIAfn) and Telecom Pragmatics concludes that, contrary to the telecom industry's "conventional wisdom," Verizon's access strategy isn't based on delivering fiber to residential customers but is instead centered on deploying high-speed bandwidth to as many large enterprise customers as possible.
"Just as in the old Ma Bell days when the higher margins from long- distance revenues subsidized the high costs of local service, Verizon appears to be counting on high profitability from FTTB to make up for expected shortfalls with FTTH installations," maintains Sam Greenholtz, the report's lead author and co-founder of Telecom Pragmatics. "The vast majority of the RBOC's installations of fiber within its footprint are along the Interstate-95 highway corridor. Most of the large businesses in its territory tend to be located within 20 miles of either side of I-95."
The report is based on in-depth interviews with service providers, including Verizon, SBC/AT&T, Bellsouth and others. In addition to Greenholtz, who spent 28 years at Verizon and its predecessor companies, contributors include John Spencer, who worked for BellSouth for nearly 30 years, industry analyst Mark Lutkowitz from Telecom Pragmatics, and BIAfn financial analyst David Gross.
"Industry observers need to realize that while there will continue to be substantial deployment of FTTH, especially in communities located near large businesses, Verizon's primary concern is in becoming the leading managed service provider to the enterprise space in the nation," contends BIAfn's Gross. "Providing services to residential subscribers is truly a secondary concern."
The report, "Verizon's Charging Forward with FTTP: Will Credit Markets and Regulators Get in Its Way?" is available for purchase. For more information, go to: http://www.bia.com/TelecomReports.htm.

Dubai and France are exploring new opportunities to boost economic and commercial ties as trade between the two hit $2.31 billion in the first half of 2021.
Senior officials from the UAE and the European country held an online meeting to look at areas of co-operation as their economies recover from the coronavirus-induced slowdown, the Dubai Media Office said on Thursday.
Dubai's external trade is gathering pace thanks to its agility in handling the pandemic, said Sultan bin Sulayem, DP World group chairman and chief executive and chairman of Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation.
"We can see tourism and exhibition activity going back to normal in the emirate, with Expo 2020 around the corner," Mr bin Sulayem, said. "Dubai has largely managed to mitigate the economic repercussions from the spread of the pandemic."
Dubai's non-oil private sector recorded the quickest growth in business activity for nearly two years in August, driven by output growth among travel and tourism and construction companies, according to a new survey.
Dubai's seasonally adjusted IHS Markit Purchasing Manager's Index surged to 53.3 in August, up from 53.2 in July indicating expansion in the non-oil private sector. A reading above 50 indicates economic expansion while one below points to a contraction.
Dubai's non-oil external trade grew 10 per cent annually in the first quarter of 2021 to Dh354.4bn, while customs transactions rose 53.4 per cent to Dh11.2 million in the first half of this year despite pandemic-related challenges, according to Dubai Customs.
Total trade between Dubai and France touched Dh8.5bn in the first half of 2021. Jewellery, perfumes, medical products, textiles and leather were the top commodities of trade.
"The UAE has demonstrated exceptional capabilities in managing the Covid-19 crisis, proving its competence in adapting to changes and overcoming challenges," said Xavier Chatel, ambassador of France to the UAE. "The UAE is our preferred choice for investment and trade."
France and the UAE have strong trade and investment ties. Earlier this year, Abu Dhabi's Mubadala Investment Company and France's national investment bank Bpifrance signed an agreement to launch a new co-investment partnership focused on African private equity.
As part of the deal, the 2 companies will deploy up to $416 million through fund and direct investments in private equity and venture capital, with a focus on high-growth African start-ups, small and medium enterprises and mid-market companies.
Mubadala also invested in a French healthcare technology company through its €400m venture capital fund last year. It is also supporting French national investment bank Bpifrance's LAC 1 fund.

The strongest and longest-lasting building material known to humankind is concrete. The enormous bridges and towering we accept as usual today were made possible by the development of steel-reinforced concrete. An enjoyable and satisfying encounter could get enjoyed by utilizing a concrete blend like Quikrete for a job around the property.Nevertheless, this one is the least tolerant of materials to deal with. How long does Quikrete take to dry is a fact you have to know.
Concrete has a certain amount of period to be blended and poured before it solidifies. So you'll have to plan accordingly. Whether installing concrete steps, constructing a carport pavement, or setting concrete pilings for fencing posts. This guide will mostly cover their rapid drying mix and the parameters that influence drying time.
Quick Summary: A standard 50 lb bag of 4000 psi Quickrete Concrete Blend would be dry and sturdy enough to sustain strain in around 48 hours. When constructed inside or under ideal weather, the concrete would arid and harden for approximately 28 days following a suitable curing procedure.
Read more about the timeframe you require to build the Quikrete slab.
A binder and gravel are combined to create concrete, a composite product. The combination becomes a semi-liquid slurry whenever water gets introduced, which activates the binder. Since the concrete drying counter has already begun to tick, you only have a short window of time to blend, dump, and mold the concrete. Whenever the liquid and cement interact, it starts to bond the other components together, and that's when the stiffening occurs. Let's look at how long does Quikrete take to dry.
How Long Does Quikrete Take To Dry – All You Need To Know
Various concrete mixtures get made to dry and harden at multiple speeds. Concrete materials with a quick setting time, like Quikrete's Quick Setting Blend will dry out in 20 to 40 mins and are ready to support weight after four hours. The standard ready-mix concrete mixture dries much more slowly. After about an hour, it would become semi-liquid and usable. After 24hrs, it would harden to about 50% of its original strength. It is often ready for individuals to stroll on at this stage. It typically becomes ready for smaller automobile activity after two days, and it will reach its maximum capacity after four weeks.
What Are The Factors Influencing How Long Does Quikrete Take To Dry
Quikrete dries more or less quickly depending on various circumstances, including the specifics of the concrete composition.
Whenever blending and dumping concrete, the temperature must get taken into account. Your concrete would dry more quickly in a hotter environment. On the other hand, the drying operation is slow as the temperature outside drops. Temperature changes can significantly impact the result. Heat-related issues might result in the concrete hardening out more quickly and dehydrating, making the finished structure thinner.
Hot Weather
It stands to reason to mix and pour concrete soon in the morning or later in the evening during the warmer summer. It would guarantee that the chemical process occurs at the proper temperature and that the concrete gets considerably cured by the period the noon sun shines.
Other safety measures in hot weather include mixing with cold liquid. Keep the dry mixture in the shadow till it's time to utilize it, and dampen the sand or grit, which you'll be dumping the concrete over. A fountain or fine misting hose could assist in maintaining the temperature down after the concrete has been laid and smoothed.
Cold Weather
Conversely, working with concrete in a frigid climate has a series of difficulties. Frosty weather may make spilling more challenging, even while moderate cold speeds up the curing and setting process and results in a sturdier result. The ultimate durability of the concrete will decrease by up to 50% if it is permitted to freeze while drying. Utilize hot water while blending the material, add a chemical activator, and warm the surface with concrete coverings before and after dumping to avoid this from occurring during the curing phase.
You'll wish to keep the concrete as warm as feasible as it dries. Concrete may be kept warm during curing by wrapping it with comforters, sacking, or blankets made of concrete. Placing concrete when temperatures are reasonable at 80°F is advisable to prevent the existing challenges.
Concrete drying durations are also significantly influenced by the liquid-to-cement proportion. The best course of action is to adhere to the various producers' water addition suggestions made by the dry mix.
For each 60 lb. bag of their essential blend Quikrete, a limit of 1.9 to 3.3 liters of highest water concentration gets advised. Because of the more significant water concentration, the mixture will be looser and require more drying time. Avoid the temptation to utilize little water that gets recommended to hasten the drying process. Lower water indicates lesser chemical linkages between the parts, which would only lead to a weaker end product.
Mixing Type
The kind of concrete blend would affect drying and hardening duration, as already indicated. There are quick-dry compounds made to dry quickly and cure sufficiently to support the load in just 4 hrs if you require a fast-drying pavement. These are helpful when building fencing posts, letterboxes, and decking posts. Additionally, Quikrete manufactures a cement material with a 10 min quick-setting time. It is perfect for small restorations and casting projects due to its quick drying period.
The durability of typical blend concrete grows to around 70% of its maximum toughness in two weeks, and it is dry sufficient to stroll on in 24hrs. Before putting any significant weight, read the fine print on the backside of the concrete backpack. Connecting the physical output to the job at hand is crucial.
Bottom Line
Whatever concrete construction you got in mind. Understanding How long does Quikrete take to dry to cure would save you energy and cost.

8 Different Types of Acupuncture and How They Work
Acupuncture originates from ancient Chinese medical practice. The practitioners insert thin needles to release tension at different pressure points of the body. By creating injuries, the procedure triggers the body's natural healing response. While many practitioners claim it provides balance to the body, research shows that it can relieve pain. There's also the possibility of curing illnesses like whooping cough, dysentery, sciatica, headaches, and blood pressure problems.
Through acupuncture, patients can find relief from conditions like osteoarthritis, migraines, dementia, morning sickness, and lower back pain. Beyond medical conditions, some skincare experts use this procedure to reverse the effects of premature aging. The injuries induce collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face or neck.
Studies show that patients experience little to no risk with acupuncture. There are very few side effects, and you can combine this with other treatment methods. However, acupuncture treatments should be done professionally to avoid the risk of infection from damaged needles.
Acupuncture is an excellent technique to relieve tension and improve blood flow in your body. Check out these eight popular types of acupuncture and discover how they work:
Type #1: Traditional Chinese Acupuncture
This type of acupuncture examines the body's internal and external functions from all meridian points. Using ancient Chinese medical practices, the patients receive a treatment plan based on a tongue examination. Typically, the treatment focuses on healing one part of the body, such as alleviating back pain.
If you experience illnesses like depression, migraines, and sleep problems, taking so much medication can feel exhausting. The traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture allows you to manage your health along with other treatment methods. It releases stress in your meridian points, helping you sleep better and relieving your painful headaches.
Type #2: Japanese Acupuncture
Unlike Chinese acupuncture that focuses on healing one health condition, the Japanese version tackles the entire body. However, it is also gentle and relatively painless, with many practitioners importing disposable needles from Japan. The process uses fewer needles with shallow depth compared to other methods. The insertion tube controls the depth of the prick to reduce discomfort.
If you're scared of needles, this type of acupuncture works best for you. It's an inclusive procedure available to children and teenagers as well. It's also a gradual process where the acupuncturists start by feeling the points of discomfort, followed by an insertion. Afterwards, you should experience a continuous calming effect as your body releases its healing chemicals.
Type #3: Korean Hand Therapy
Do you feel pain in your hands from texting so much? In this era of remote work, typing endlessly on your computer or mobile phone can cause side effects like aches and slight tremors. Korean Hand Therapy is a way to resolve whatever pain you feel in your hands and other parts of your body.
With a needle applicator, the acupuncturist inserts about twenty special hand needles for 20 to 30 minutes. They also use silver and gold metal pellets to locate the meridians. Unlike other methods, you can combine Korean Hand Therapy with different acupuncture types.
Type #4: Auricular Acupuncture
Auricular acupuncture uses the ear as the connection point to other parts of the body. According to Ancient Oriental medicine, the ear contains acupuncture points that can heal the body. By inserting regular acupuncture needles into the ear, the acupuncturists seek to trigger chemicals that eradicate mood swings, toxins, and allergies.
Type #5: Scalp Acupuncture
Scalp acupuncture uses the same process as auricular acupuncture. The difference is that the needles penetrate the skin on your head. It is a safe, reliable treatment that stimulates the brain cells, encouraging them to become revitalized. This type of acupuncture addresses conditions associated with brain function. It is commonly used after a stroke or brain surgery therapy.
Type #6: Cupping Therapy
Cupping involves using rubber or glass suction cups to stimulate blood flow to specific points in the body. Usually performed at the same time with needle acupuncture, the cups stay on the skin surface. The suction provides relief from muscle pain and inflammation. It also eliminates toxins in the blood flow.
With wet cupping, the therapist makes small incisions on your skin after removing the cups to let out some blood. Cupping is popular for treating blood poisoning, anemia, and high blood pressure. By redirecting the flow of blood, the vessels expand and cause your skin to redden. However, the redness and scarring will disappear after approximately ten days.
Type #7: Electroacupuncture
It's hard treating chronic pain with medication since many painkillers notoriously lead to addiction. Electroacupuncture provides an alternative route to seeking relief from chronic pain. The therapist sends an electric current between two needle points using small clips and acupuncture needles. The charge improves the blood supply and triggers the body's natural pain relief. It also boosts energy flow between both points.
Type #8: Moxibustion Acupuncture
Compared to traditional acupuncture methods, this treatment involves heat. Moxibustion provides a relaxing experience for patients with plants. In this treatment, the therapist lights mugwort herb over the needles. The burning plant warms the meridians to improve circulation and digestion. Moxibustion is used to treat other conditions like insomnia, anxiety, pain management, and respiratory diseases.

Get all the latest news on coronavirus and more delivered daily to your inbox. Sign up here.
Sharri Markson, the national political editor at The Daily Telegraph in Australia, appeared on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" on Monday, two days after the newspaper published an article referencing a 15-page dossier compiled by the so-called "Five Eyes" intelligence alliance, saying the document shows that "China deliberately covered up evidence of the virus [COVID-19] early on in a pure case of negligence."
The research dossier from the intelligence agencies of the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia and New Zealand states that China intentionally hid or destroyed evidence of the coronavirus outbreak, leading to the loss of tens of thousands of lives around the world.
The document that was obtained by Australia's Saturday Telegraph newspaper states that China's secrecy amounted to an "assault on international transparency."
The dossier touches on themes that have been discussed in media reports about the outbreak of the virus, including an initial denial by China that the virus could be transmitted between humans, the silencing or "disappearing" of doctors who tried to speak up, the destruction of evidence in laboratories and refusal to provide live samples to international scientists working on a vaccine.
"It's very clear from this 15-page dossier that has been prepared by concerned western governments that China deliberately covered up evidence of the virus early on in a pure case of negligence," Markson told host Tucker Carlson. She added that "this directly contributed to thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people getting sick and dying" around the world.
"These are just the facts that the dossier lays out and this is not ideology, this is not propaganda, these are just the facts," she continued.
Markson wrote an article that was published on Monday which reportedly highlighted what was discovered in the dossier.
"If you just go through it all, this is a serious case of cover-up by China of one of the most deadly pandemic outbreaks we've had in at least a century and it's directly because they didn't take action," Markson said.
"They knew there was human-to-human transmission as early as December 6, that's according to this dossier, when the first evidence emerged of it, and yet it wasn't until January 20 when they finally admitted that COVID-19 could be transmitted from one person to another."
Markson pointed out "that was just far too late," adding that that is why "so many people" around the world "are now sick and dying."
The file states: "Millions of people [left] Wuhan after the outbreak and before Beijing lock[ed] down the city on January 23."
The dossier continues with a litany of Chinese defensiveness, stating: "As EU [European Union] diplomats prepare a report on the pandemic, [China] successfully presses Brussels to strike language on [China] disinformation."
Similarly, "As Australia calls for an independent inquiry into the pandemic, [China] threatens to cut off trade with Australia. [China] has likewise responded furiously to US [sic] calls for transparency."
On Monday Markson said, "There needs to be an investigation."
"The Wuhan Institute of Virology was actually working on, bat-like coronaviruses and they were actually manipulating and genetically modifying bat-like coronaviruses to make them even more deadly," she added.
"This is their own study, their own research into this and it's documented in this dossier and I have read the original studies as well."
Last week, President Trump told reporters, without providing details, that he has seen evidence suggesting the coronavirus originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
An investigation has been ongoing into whether the pandemic was the result of an accident at the Wuhan lab, intelligence officials confirmed to Fox News on Thursday– in what would be a contradiction from the broad consensus that it originated at a wet market in the city.
China and the World Health Organization, which President Trump said has mishandeled the coronavirus pandemic by giving deference to China, denied any wrongdoing.
Fox News' Nick Givas, Samuel Chamberlain, Bret Baier and Louis Casiano contributed to this report.
