University of Chicago
University of Chicago
Over the past several years, as part of a Digging into Data Grant and in conjunction with Oxford University's e-Research Centre, the ARTFL Project at the University of Chicago has been developing a large-scale
online resource that allows scholars to examine text
reuse in the 18th century. We used sequence alignment algorithms to compile a database of textual repetitions found in the Gale-Cengage Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO) corpus, which contains the 200,000 works that represent most of the printed literary and scientific output in Britain from 1700 to 1799.
At Digital Humanities 2016 in Krakow, we presented the methodology and algorithms we used to identify these reuses and showed the early results of our work (Roe et al, 2016; for earlier discussions of this project, see Roe et al, 2015 and Abdul-Rahman et al, 2016). For the upcoming Digital Humanities conference, our presentation will have two facets. First, we will outline the technical and editorial approaches we took when building the final version of the alignment database to maximize its usability and usefulness as a scholarly resource (See the Common Place Cultures project site, and its page on the University of Chicago domain). Secondly, we will discuss a use case of the database in which we examined reuses and citations of the first-century BC Roman poet, Lucretius, as a means to get a broad understanding of the 18th-century reception of the De Rerum Natura, the philosophical poem that proposes a materialist conception of the universe.
To construct the database, we used the PhiloLine (see Horton et al, 2010) sequence aligner to identify many millions of similar passages in the often low-quality OCR of the ECCO dataset. These passages range from a handful of words to large extracts of documents. We then used a similar passage matching algorithm to identify passages that were reused many times. The resulting database allows users to track specific passages, identify citations of specific texts in later texts, and find borrowed passages in later documents of an author's oeuvre.
As the creators and users of our navigational tool, we had to decide on the nature and scope of research the database should support and then strike balances between feasibility, usability, and performance. One of our earliest concerns was to allow users to get a fairly long view of textual reception/citation. To be able to identify the true source of any given reuse, we made the editorial decision to include texts that predated the 18th century. We therefore extended our alignment detection procedure to a variety of curated datasets such as the King James Bible, Classical Latin texts, and EEBO-TCP.
Our extended alignment experiment was extremely successful: we uncovered more than 40 million text reuses across our multiple datasets. At the same time, this success raised the problem of devising a way to explore result sets of a huge scale efficiently, leading us to focus on building a navigation tool that provides filtering and sorting control to users in a precise and intuitive way. We added various UI elements to guide users in their exploration: a list of the most commonly cited authors just a click away from the input box; a faceted browser to help users narrow down search results; and a timeline view of any given text reuse (see Appendix for screenshots) Combined together, these choices greatly enhance the capabilities of our web application, making it a tool that can very easily track intellectual influence from the classical Latin era to the late 18 th century.
In the second part of our presentation we will discuss a use case of our database, examining citations of Lucretius's Latin text in 18th-century English texts. Our aim was to fill in gaps in current scholarship and discover the aftereffects of the resurgence in interest in Lucretius's work, the De Rerum Natura (DRN), at the middle of the 17th century in England (for example, Greenblatt (2011) gives only very cursory treatment to reception of Lucretius in the 18th century in The Swerve). During this so called "Epicurean revival," John Evelyn (1656) and Lucy Hutchinson (unpublished) were the first to translate, either in part or whole, the DNR into English. Walter Charlton published his Physiologia Epicuro-Gassendo-Charltoniana, or, A fabrick of science natural, upon the hypothesis of atoms in 1654. And though Thomas Hobbes never cites Lucretius directly in his Leviathan (1651), the Latin poet's ideas about the material nature of the universe are a distinct antecedent to Hobbes's mechanical philosophy.
Even around the time of the revival, the reception of the DRN was vexed. Lucretius's statements about the materiality and mortality of the soul, the role of chance in the universe, and the detachment of the gods were far too radical ever to gain wide acceptance in early modern England. In the backlash against Hobbesianism in the 1660s, Lucretius was a prime target for criticism. Cottegnies (2016) argues that the backlash against Hobbes's ideas in the 1660s also marks the end of the Epicurean moment. Theologians writing against Hobbes attacked Lucretius's atheistic materialism. And though Lucretius's stature as a poet continued to grow, praise for DRN was almost always tempered. His more extreme ideas were to be dismissed or ignored. In the notes to his translation of DRN in 1682, the first complete translation published in English, Thomas Creech argued against Lucretian and Epicurean attitudes toward the soul and divinity
(Creech and Dryden, 1700; these citations refer to the
text published using the PhiloLogic build of eebo). John Dryden, the preeminent arbiter of literary taste of his era, quoted Lucretius often in his plays and included translations of select passages in Sylvae (1685). In his preface to that collection, Dryden praised the directness of Lucretius's poetic expression, pointing out the "positive assertion of his Opinion" and his "Magisterial authority." But the subject of his poem is "naturally Crabbed" and the poet himself is "often in the wrong" (Dryden, 1685; text published online by Philo-logic).
Reuses and citations found in the Digging into Data database suggest that this basic framework for understanding Lucretius largely played out across the 18th century. Lucretius was at once an admired poet, a materialist attacked for not admitting divine involvement in the universe, and a philosopher who in fact had important things to say about living well. Even so, the alignment database allows us to see a handful of authors, mostly medical and scientific writers, whose views of Lucretius and his ideas veer from this basic narrative. Mainly toward the middle and latter parts of the century, some reuses suggest a less troubled acceptance of Lucretius's naturalism.
Through this presentation, we hope to show that this alignment database, through the accumulation of so many instances of citation, can facilitate a kind of large-scope reading that allows scholars to gain a nu-anced sense of longer term intellectual trends. Built on a huge quantity of uncorrected OCR, the database provides scholars the specific source evidence -- and a ready means to access it -- that they might need as a starting point to pursue even deeper investigations into the thought of the 18th century.

Washington expressed great disapproval on Tuesday concerning the statements made on Monday by IAEA chief Muhammad ElBaradei saying that a compromise could be struck with Iran within a week.
According to ElBaradei, the hypothetical deal would allow Iran to partially enrich uranium.
Tom Casey, spokesman of the US State Department, responded to the proposal, saying: You can't be partially pregnant, Army Radio reported. He added that Iran would be able to expand the partial enrichment, within a short time, to military purposes, as North Korea had done.

Like every year, the World Cleanup Day of our planet (World Cleanup Day, in the original version) is accompanied by its digital counterpart. This March 18 is therefore ALSO Digital Cleanup Day, formerly Cyber World Cleanup Day. An event during which the organizers and partners insist on two behaviors to adopt for a more virtuous approach to tech: cleaning up your data and giving a second life to your digital equipment.
"After the success of the first three editions carried by France, the Cyber World CleanUp Day becomes a global program, changes its name and graphic identity in 2023 to become the Digital Cleanup Day"explain the organizers, who add: "Since 2020, we have worked hard to raise public awareness of the challenges of digital pollution and the digital carbon footprint. We have organized thousands of Cyber Cleanups and raised awareness of hundreds of thousands of people through three first editions of the project".
Buy less, make it last
Their objectives are multiple: in a friendly and positive climate, they hope to bring together at least 3.5 million people to convey educational messages around data cleaning and the collection of digital equipment. To do this, it will be a question of raising awareness as much as possible about the growing environmental footprint of digital technology, in a market where the manufacture of a new device represents 70% of its ecological footprint.
As we know, preserving the planet from a digital point of view means above all "make the devices last as long as possible", recycle them, give them a second or even a third life, etc. Because if adopting more sober behaviors is a necessity, at different levels, no effort will be as decisive as preventing the manufacture of a smartphone or an additional television. The most ecological device is the one you already have, and if there is one habit to break, it is that of systematically letting yourself be caught up in the novelty, in the face of manufacturers who do everything to titillate our technophile fiber.
From this point of view, the message conveyed by the Digital Cleanup Day is therefore perfectly virtuous. And if, in addition, he can advocate for less data consumption, that's a significant plus.

The Maresme Waste Consortium is one of the driving forces behind the agreement
The signatory companies and organisations have undertaken to increase the selective collection of clothing from the current 12% to a minimum of 25% by 2024
The Maresme Waste Consortium is one of the driving forces behind the Circular Fashion Pact, an agreement to introduce advanced sustainability criteria in the textile sector, which was presented this Tuesday at the former Palo Alto factory site in Barcelona's Poblenou district. Some fifty companies and organisations have already signed this voluntary pact to promote an urgent and necessary transformation of the textile sector, in a shared and collaborative way, establishing common objectives and generating instruments that make this change possible.
"For the Maresme region, this is a great opportunity to collaborate and establish synergies with the different agents in the textile value chain and the management of textile waste", emphasised the director of the Maresme Waste Consortium, Carles Salesa.
The event was attended by the councillor for Climate Action, Teresa Jordà, the secretary for Climate Action, Anna Barnadas, the director of the Catalan Waste Agency, Isaac Peraire, and the director of the Consortium of Trade, Crafts and Fashion of Catalonia, Agnès Russiñol, as well as representatives of the signatory companies and organisations.
Jordà stressed the importance of the pact as "a decisive and courageous step towards a systemic transformation of the textile sector towards a circular model".
The director of the Catalan Waste Agency, Isaac Peraire, assured that "the signatory organisations, companies and administrations are leaders of a necessarily immediate change".
An open and transversal initiative
A group of 31 driving agents from the entire textile value chain, including the Maresme Waste Consortium, have been working together with the Government of Catalonia and other organisations to define the bases of the agreement, which was created with the aim of joining and coordinating the efforts of all the agents in the textile value chain to provide a joint and effective response to the challenges of the sector, establishing common objectives and generating instruments that make the transformation towards a circular model possible.
So far, 55 entities and companies have signed the pact, and it is still open to further backing. Among the signatories are manufacturing companies such as Mango, Pronovias and Míriam Ponsa, as well as the employers' association Pimec, and textile managers such as Solidança, Roba Amiga and Humana.
This sectoral initiative is one of the circular economy pilot actions chosen by the European Union as part of the Interreg Europe CircE project due to its innovative nature and its potential for replicability in other territories.
Durable clothing and cleaner production
Given its global vocation, the pact sets objectives for each segment of the textile chain, which respond to the environmental, social and economic challenges of the sector.
In the area of manufacturing, for example, it seeks to increase the durability of products and the percentage of recycled material incorporated in fabrics, reduce and eliminate the use of harmful materials, increase reuse with the implementation of new business models and deploy cleaner and more efficient production strategies, among other scaling and innovation measures. To achieve these goals, work is already underway to define pilot projects in certain territories to promote the collection of second-hand clothing and its reuse, as well as to improve selective textile waste collection systems and the development of the local textile recycling industry.
The commitments made by the signatory organisations include reducing the generation of textile waste by between 5 and 10%; achieving between 25 and 30% in the selective collection of this fraction by 2024; and increasing the percentage of material recovery of the selectively collected part. Specifically, 55-60% should be destined for preparation for re-use and 40-50% for recycling of textile waste.
Anticipating the new law
The draft bill on the prevention and management of waste and the efficient use of resources in Catalonia, which will begin the process of public participation in July, includes specific objectives and measures for textile waste. By 2025, it proposes a nationwide reduction of 10% of this waste, with respect to that generated in 2019, and a 25% reduction by 2030. To this end, measures are proposed to encourage selective collection and reuse, such as the obligation to incorporate a second-hand textile shelf, or corner, in commercial areas larger than 1,200 square metres. The process of socialisation of the draft bill has begun with the aim that the final text will broadly incorporate contributions from organisations and the general public, and that the government will be able to approve it in 2023.
The textile sector is one of the largest consumers of resources in the world, with an enormous environmental and climate impact. Although 100 billion garments are sold every year, less than 1% of the waste generated by this product is recycled.
In Catalonia, each person consumes between 21.5 and 26 kg of clothing per year, but only 12% of textile waste is collected selectively, a total of 140,000 tonnes per year, which goes to landfill or is incinerated. Of the selectively collected part, half is prepared for reuse and 40% is recycled.
In fact, this waste has become a global problem. In the last 15 years, the number of items of clothing sold worldwide has doubled, while their lifetime has been reduced by about 20%. In contrast, reuse and recycling have not increased at the same rate, largely because textile products are often not designed for this purpose. Moreover, after food, housing and transport, global textile consumption is the fourth largest consumer of raw materials and water, and the fifth largest emitter of greenhouse gases (GHG).

By GlobalDataThe Optivista EPK-i7010 video processor together with its latest i10 HD+ endoscopes series, or with its MagniView, optical zoom endoscopes is said to generate high quality images.
Suited for routine procedures or complex interventions, the Optivista is intended to assist an optimal clinical outcome.
Maastricht UMC+ Dr Silvia Sanduleanu was involved in the early studies with Optivista.
Sanduleanu said: "Contrast enhancement using i-scan OE highlights the epithelial mucosal surface pattern and especially the vascular pattern in detail.
"i-scan OE facilitates detection and in-vivo diagnosis of lower gastrointestinal tract pathology enabling targeted endotherapy."
Optivista also engages its feature TwinMode to teach the appropriate interpretation of image enhanced endoscopy, providing simultaneous comparison of side by side endoscopic images.
The simultaneous comparison of enhanced clinical images is considered useful in demonstrating the appropriate characterisation of lesions.
Optivista can perform video recording, enabling the capture of HD+ video files onto a USB storage device. An external microphone captures the audio recording for video.
By integrating the video and audio capture functionality there is no requirement for further recording devices or software.
The new, intuitive touch screen controls facilitates simple and efficient operation while for an optimum image collection, the Optivista uses freeze scan technology which automatically selects the sharpest picture for users' records.

Well, just say hi. Start off with hi, maybe make something up, like 'Do you know where . . ' or something like that.
If you'd prefer 'more than friends', I'd say compliment her at first. I am a girl, and no matter who said it, it's nice being complimented, or asked out. Lots of people are scared people will say no, but they need to remember, being asked out is a compliment, and they worst that can happen is that they say no and it'll be a bit awkward for a while.
Just say hi, strike up a conversation, and then everything is a lot easier after that.
Good luck!

Two years after East Hampton Town banned the intentional release of balloons, the town board will hold a public hearing on amending the town code to ban the sale or distribution of gas or helium-filled balloons as of Jan. 1. The hearing will happen during the board's meeting on Oct. 7.
Balloons may be a popular accessory at celebrations like birthdays, weddings, and graduations, but their effect on wildlife can be lethal. As they are often mistaken for squid, jellyfish, or other prey, their ingestion is a major threat to marine mammals, sea turtles, and birds. Animals can also become entangled in the ribbons commonly tied to balloons, which can cut deeply into their flesh or strangle them.
As she had in May, Susan McGraw Keber, a town trustee, told the town board at its Sept. 7 work session that more than 300 East Hampton High School students, as well as a class at the East Hampton Middle School and students at the Avenue School, had presented petitions supporting such a ban. Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr., Suffolk County Legislator Bridget Fleming, and the trustees are also in favor of a ban, Ms. McGraw Keber said.
Groups including the Nature Conservancy, the Sierra Club, Citizens Campaign for the Environment, the Peconic Baykeeper, Friends of Georgica Pond, the Surfrider Foundation's eastern Long Island chapter, Concerned Citizens of Montauk, the South Fork Natural History Museum, the Perfect Earth Project, and the town's Aquaculture Department are also in favor, she said.
A ban is "very important to our community" and the town's waterways, she said.
Courtney Garneau, chairwoman of Surfrider's chapter here, called in to the meeting to encourage the town to take the proposed action. Since 2017, she said, the chapter had pulled more than 11,000 pounds of debris from beaches between Montauk and Westhampton Beach, including almost 1,500 balloons. "That's just our beach cleanups," she said.
Although latex balloons are considered biodegradable, they take anywhere from six months to four years to decompose, "and they can wreak a lot of havoc before they do," according to the Environmental Nature Center, which cites an observation that balloons floating in seawater retained their elasticity for a year.
The proposed amendment adds Mylar, which never degrades, to the definition of balloon, and would include exceptions for balloons being used to carry scientific instruments, hot air balloons that are recovered after launching, and balloons released indoors that are properly disposed of.

Someone, trying to start a row on social media, asserts that the four most overrated musicians of all time are, in alphabetical order:
Got my attention, as I like them all, and love, A D O R E , two of them. I therefore read on and see that the troublemaker has added a bauble. Three of them, he says, are merely overrated, while the fourth is "straight up bad." His entrapped readers are supposed to guess which one that is. I guessed Dylan, only because the Nobel Prize seems like it might open up the most space below. (On the theory that "overrated" is "longest distance from pedestal to true estimation of merit.") Turns out, though, that he has in mind Elvis. Guy's a philosophy professor so of course he has an argument—it's that The King, whenever he recorded someone else's song, unfailingly failed to come up to the level of the original. I don't think that can possibly be true, but I have to say that, regarding the only example he cites, he might be right. Here's Big Mama Thornton singing "You Ain't Nothin' but a Hound Dog." It's for a woman to sing, right?

Being an adult is stressful enough, but on top of that, we have to find a place to live that isn't our childhood bedroom in our parent's house. Whether you're in college or have graduated and are starting your life outside the warm embrace of your parent's home, here is are some things you should do to avoid leasing a crappy apartment.
1. Do a tour
You should always do a tour of the apartments you're intending to rent. You wouldn't buy a new pair of shoes without trying them on, would you? Most managers will show you an apartment that's already being inhabited but will later be vacant. These are the best kinds of apartment complexes because you can get an idea of how you'll be able to arrange your bed, desk, etc. Some managers will show you apartments that they've designated as show apartments. Designated show apartments can differ in quality and upkeep from the apartments you'll be living in to so in these cases, it's best to ask a resident if you can tour their apartment to see what you're actually getting yourself into.
2. Talk to current residents
The benefit of talking with residents who are currently living at the apartments you're looking at is that they've already experienced what life is like in those apartments. Therefore, they can tell you all the ups and downs. Some things you might want to ask about are how easily you can hear the people in the apartment next door, how well management responds to maintenance requests, and if there are ever any problems with pests.

3. Check reviews
Treat apartment hunting like you're looking for a delicious new restaurant. You've got to scour Yelp to find that gem! Reviews can be helpful when looking for things like nasty managers or negligent But just like when you watch out for salty student reviews for professors on Polyratings, take all negative reviews with a grain of salt. Is there a pattern in all the reviews? Do more than a couple people complain about being able to hear a fly fart through the walls? If there's an abundance of pissed tenants, it's a safe bet that you should avoid that complex.
4. Start your search early
Absolutely. Do. Not. Wait *claps for emphasis* to start your apartment search. You will be so stressed! But you will also have less and less to pick from and therefore will be more likely to end up with the crappy apartments no one wants. Housing is so very competitive in SLO so it is not an option to take your time.

5. Don't be afraid to go all out for your inspection
Hey, you're going to live there someday! You literally have the right to check every nook and cranny for your peace of mind. Hate weak water pressure? Turn on the shower and check that bad b*tch. Love a good toilet break? Sit on that toilet for 15 minutes straight to see if the toilet seat caresses your lovely bottom in a way that pleases you. But if the manager is in the apartment with you, don't take forever because you don't want your relationship with your future manager to get off to a bad start.
6. Drive around
If you can't seem to find an apartment that you like, drive around! Don't limit your research to the internet. There are tons of apartment complexes that don't show up in a simple Google search for some reason or another. Drive around with your future housemates or a friend and take pictures of the names and addresses of apartments so you can look them up. You can also see if the manager is in their office so you can see if there are any open units and what the rent is. Bonus points if you make a good impression and they offer you a unit on the spot!
7. Know your rights
Know your rights as a tenant such as how much a landlord can charge for a security deposit or the right to repair and deduct. That way you can avoid places that aren't in compliance or if you end up in one, what you can fight for. You should never feel as though your safety or health is in danger because of where you live. This website gives an easily digestible overview of California's Landlord-Tenant Laws.
If you end up leasing a crappy apartment, dry your tears, it's not the end of the world. You can make the best of a sucky situation by making friends with your neighbors so you can alert them when they're being too noisy or to band together to put the heat on your landlord to do their job better. Happy apartment hunting!

Look after your mental health, this October
Look after your mental health, this October
October is Mental Health Month and as part of the 2020 World Mental Health Day campaign, Mental Health Australia is encouraging everyone to make a promise to "Look after your mental health, Australia."
It is a call to action for the one in five Australians affected by mental illness annually, and for the many more impacted by the current COVID-19 pandemic, and the increased uncertainty and anxiety that has ensued.
The more individuals and organisations who commit to promoting mental health awareness this month and support the campaign, the more we reduce the stigma surrounding mental ill health and play our part in creating a mentally healthy community.
Mental Health Australia CEO Dr Leanne Beagley said there are a host of activities planned to celebrate the month, and World Mental Health Day on Saturday 10 October, starting with a calendar with something to do each day to look after your mental health and wellbeing.
"This year we have seen an increased focus on the mental health of our communities, and rightly so," said Dr Beagley.
"We are continually breaking down stigma by talking about our mental health, and focussing on it during these uncertain times, but as well as talking about it, we need to act, and that action can start with making a promise to yourself to look after your mental health."
"Looking after your mental health can mean different things for different people, but the whole idea of the World Mental Health Day campaign is to raise awareness around some of the more common things that can work, as well as encouraging people to seek help if they need it."
"The October Mental Health Month calendar is a great way to start, and includes an action each day around looking after your mental health. It might be taking time out, eating well, sleeping well, showing gratitude, connecting with a friend or family member, or simply watching your favourite movie or getting dressed in your Sunday best… on a Monday."
To join in the campaign to reduce stigma you can download the Mental Health Month calendar for October here or make, and share, a #MentalHealthPromise at www.lookafteryourmentalhealthaustralia.org.au
And remember:
"Look after your mental health, Australia."

In leadership circles, Executive Coaching is a buzzword that is mostly heard nowadays. And this leadership development tool is becoming more popular for good reason.
Basically, executive coaching aims at unlocking leadership potential, boost engagement and improve performance to develop dynamic as well as focused organisations. Executive coaches guide leaders to build up and make meaningful change for the individual as well as for their organisation.
This is all about executing coaching. Now, just have a look at the benefits that come with executive coaching!
Benefits of Executive Coaching
#1 Navigating change
Today's world is changing faster and this is even accurate when we talk about the world of business, which makes organisational transformation a must.
Thus, this is where executive coaching comes into the picture. Generally, executive coaches enable leaders to navigate change at an organisational level. Coaches make sure that the executives possess the suitable skills, required knowledge and appropriate strategies in place, by providing a collaborative process in Brainstorming, Awareness, Action plans, Accountability and Encouragement.
#2 Objective support
Presently, leaders are answerable for several things. They're the ones who are required to have "all the answers" AND to generate the results. With this level of responsibility, executive leaders want a support system (to help others).
Executive coaches provide confidential space for leaders to resolve issues, check ideas and settle on decisions. They utilize their objective viewpoint to gives solutions and constructive feedback.
#3 Leadership development
Presently, leadership every kind of qualities, skills, and competencies, for example, developing a vision, efficiently communicating, motivating team members, being emotionally intelligent, mentoring,… the list is endless.
Building up all of such important competencies by yourself can be quite challenging. So, time to look for an executive coach! Executive coaching restructures professional development as coaches give the time, opportunity, place and space for executives to hone their leadership skills.
#4 A customised approach
There are a lot of practical methods out there for executives to select from. However, at times, they may not be pertinent or applicable to your role. On the other side, executive coaching doesn't follow a one-size-fits-all methodology. Executive coaching focuses on customized solutions for executive development.
#5 Improved productivity & stress management
Presently, the high demands of leadership roles will in general give some time for self-care. But life is not about all work and no play. In fact, the life aspect of the equation is the support environment for the "work" aspect.
It's time to call an executive coach. It's intervention time!
Executive coaches teach how to balance the work-life spectrum. Executive coaching promotes equilibrium by getting over entrenched behaviours and providing tools to better overcome challenging situations.
#6 Goal Attainment
Let's face it. Who doesn't want to accomplish a goal? It's simply a naturally satisfying thing. Likewise, goal attainment is all about leadership! Executives are driving their company as well as followers towards a strategic goal.
And so, executive coaching used customized, strengths-based methodologies, to help executives lead and accomplish strategic objectives. Executive coaching improves goal management as well as attainment boosting mindfulness, support and a change in perspective.
Final Takeaway
At times, leaders and their organisations require a helping hand, objective intervention and guidance. And this is where executive coaching comes into the picture: by developing a required change for leaders as well as those they lead.

WATCH: Anne and Ann agree to marry one another
Speaking about being back on set, the show's creator Sally Wainwright told the BBC: "I'm more thrilled than I've ever been about anything that we're returning with a new series of Gentleman Jack.

OEM manufacturing technology purchases grow by 16.1%
August 2023 saw new orders of manufacturing technology increase by 16.1% from the prior month, reaching a total value of $404.2 million, according to the latest U.S. Manufacturing Technology Orders (USMTO) Report published by AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology. The report provides regional and national U.S. orders data of domestic and imported machine tools and related equipment and serves as a leading economic indicator as manufacturing industries invest in capital metalworking equipment to increase capacity and improve productivity.
New manufacturing technology orders grew by double digits on a month-over-month basis, but were 12.2% below August 2022. Year-to-date orders reached $2.23 billion, 12.6% lower than the first eight months of 2022.
"We are seeing industries focused on shorter-term projects reduce their spending, but at the same time, OEMs focused on longer-term production timelines have been increasing their spending, keeping orders at an elevated level," said Douglas K. Woods, president of AMT. "The net result is that for the third consecutive month, the gap between year-to-date orders in 2022 and 2023 has narrowed, falling from a 14.6% deficit in May to the 12.6% difference we see today."
Manufacturers of engines, turbines and other power transmission technologies are increasing orders at a rapid pace. According to the report, the current upward trend is the largest sustained increase in orders since that seen in summer 2008, when tehy were driven by the transition from coal-fired power plants to electricity generated by natural gas turbines.
"Much of the spike in demand for manufacturing technology over the last few years can be traced back to elevated consumer demand," said Wood. However, he cautioned, "To gauge the probable path of manufacturing technology orders in the future, we should keep an eye on the health of consumer spending. Between mortgage payments becoming a larger share of discretionary income, wages in many industries not keeping pace with inflation and ongoing labor disputes shuttering production lines, there are still several headwinds that face both consumers and the manufacturing technology industry."
The value of orders by job shops remained well below historical trend despite an elevated share of unit orders. The report said this indicates that while job shops are continuing to buy to increase capacity, OEMs are increasing their purchases of specialized machinery to make more complex, higher-value parts. Of OEMs increasing orders, manufacturers of automotive transmissions have increased for yet another month, marking the highest three-month streak since June to August 2017.

Schenker XMG Neo 17 M22 in review: High performance gaming laptop with a mechanical Cherry MX keyboard
The Schenker XMG Neo 17 is a 17-inch gaming laptop with a low weight that falls significantly below 3 kg (~6.61 lbs). Despite this, Schenker uses high-quality materials resulting in a good rigidity of both the base unit and the lid.
Below the hood there is a brand-new Ryzen 9 6900HX with a power budget of up to 80 watts. The modern octa-core processor is well suited to all multi-thread workloads. However, Intel has the upper hand over AMD with the Core i9-12900HX SoC consistently performing better. Nonetheless, the Schenker XMG Neo 17 performs well in our review overall, which can at least partially be attributed to the good cooling solution. The large heatpipe construction is effective enough to allow the system to maintain its full performance potential even while under a continuous load. Additionally, the XMG Neo 17 can optionally connected to the XMG Oasis. The external watercooler further reduces the core temperatures as well as the noise level, which was almost a non-issue in our testing, anyway. The Neo 17 uses the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti laptop GPU with the maximum performance potential thanks to a TGP of up to 175 watts as its graphics solution. All current titles run without any issues. Furthermore, users can rest easy, knowing they have 16 GB of VRAM, which should be future proof for at least a little while longer.
The display comes in the user-friendly 16:10 form factor and shines with low color deviations. On top of that, our measurements from the installed panel match the manufacturer's claims regarding the brightness and color space coverage.
Overall, we are impressed with Schenker's offering, which received a "very good" score in our review. There are some small drawbacks, however. Although the integrated keyboard is the first of its kind to feature mechanical Cherry MX switches in an XMG Neo 17, the manufacturer does not use mechanical switches for all keys. We took note of this issue in our review, while acknowledging that it partially stems from technical reasons. The biggest disadvantage may be the missing Thunderbolt 4 port. More details can be found in our in-depth review of the Schenker XMG Neo 17 M22.

The History of Hemp In Pennsylvania
In the beginning
The history of hemp of Pennsylvania is long. The Commonwealth actually created PA with the sole intention to grow hemp. The hemp capital of early America was here in Lancaster county! Its original township Hempfield, formed 1729, named for the large amounts of hemp grown there. Production of huge amounts of hemp seed oil took place in Lancaster County's 100 water powered processing plants.
Hemp was big business. The plant could be used in over 25 000 applications and that is not hyperbole. Everything used hemp in their production, from paper to Levi's jeans. In Pennsylvania, ship building relied heavily on hemp. Anchor cables, rope rigging and sails required 60-100 tons of hemp fiber per ship. This solidified the high demand for hemp in PA.
Hemp added value to farms in other ways too. Some varieties grew up to 16 feet high. These plants acted not only as a buffer between crops, but as insect protection for them.
What went wrong?
So, with all that seemed right with hemp production in Pennsylvania, what went wrong? On May 22, 1933, Governor Gifford Pinchot signed a law banning "marihuana" in the state. The law went into effect in September of that year. Hemp was vilified and often confused for its intoxicating cousin. This is why Industrial hemp would would remain illegal in PA until 2015.
What started to change?
In 2017, hemp cultivation was once again allowed in Pennsylvania. However, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture allowed production on a research basis only. Then came the 2018 Farm Bill. This paved a bright new path for industrial hemp in PA and throughout the US. Hemp production would now be allowed commercially and outside of research pilot programs. The hemp industry has seen a growth in demand. This is thanks in part to the growth in popularity of CBD health and wellness products. Although, production in Pennsylvania still outweighs the number of processors. This has resulted in lower than projected profits. Still, In 2020 more than 500 growers and 60 processors received permits from the state. The history of hemp in Pennsylvania may run deep but the future is another story. For now, the outlook for this budding industry seems optimistic.

Show ended
Let Me Count the Ways is a spoken word show about intimacy, boundaries and healing. It looks at how love – of others and of self – can help us face the difficult, complicated mess of life. Featuring sapphic witches getting day drunk in summer and queer femmes swapping highlighters, this show – written and performed by Maz Hedgehog and directed by Faye Draper – moves between rage and joy, sorrow and peace to ask: How do I love me? Let me count the ways. Maz Hedgehog is a poet and performer based in Manchester. She's worked with organisations like Penguin and Blue Peter and performed at events from Edinburgh to Brighton. Fond of fairies and theatrics, Maz's work is imaginative, lyrical and occasionally a little surreal. First shown at the Hope Mill Theatre Directed by Faye Draper Music by Alpha Twang & Voiceover by Will Ijebor

LAS VEGAS, NV (December, 7 2020) Not even a global pandemic could stop Bailey Kennedy, LLP from continuing its support of the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation of Nevada "Adopt a Family" program. While online shopping was the order of the day, the firm's employees did not lose that holiday spirit and their desire to help those less fortunate than themselves. Gift wrapping was handled in a socially distanced space in shifts with only a couple of people participating at any given time.
The "Adopt a Family" program was created in the hopes of assisting families whose child had been diagnosed with cancer to help alleviate both the financial and emotional stress that the holiday season may cause a family. Candlelighters serves approximately 125 families monthly, and as many as 600 children throughout the year. Children from birth to 21 years of age who have been diagnosed with cancer or who have survived cancer are eligible for services if they are living or being treated in Nevada. For more information on the organization, volunteering, or contribution opportunities, visit www.candlelightersnv.org.
Bailey Kennedy, LLP was founded in 2001 by John R. Bailey. The firm focuses on litigation, healthcare law, real estate law, and administrative law. Its dynamic team of professionals represents, among others, top healthcare facilities, publicly traded corporations, municipalities, gaming companies, financial institutions, travel and tourism leaders, public entities, real estate developers, entertainment concerns, and entrepreneurs.

Pain Management
Dedicated to Your Therapeutic Goals
Being able to manage one's pain is essential because even when the underlying disease process is stable, uncontrolled pain prevents patients from working productively, enjoying recreation, or taking pleasure in their usual roles in the family and society. Since chronic pain may have countless causes and perpetuating factors, it can be much more difficult to manage than acute pain, requiring a multidisciplinary approach and customized treatment protocols to meet the specific needs of each patient.
Optimal treatment may involve the use of medications that possess pain-relieving properties, including some antidepressants, anticonvulsants, antiarrhythmics, anesthetics, antiviral agents, and NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) antagonists. NMDA-receptor antagonists, such as dextromethorphan and ketamine, can block pain transmission in spinal neurons, reduce nervous system detection of pain, and decrease tolerance to and the need for opioid analgesics. By combining various agents which utilize different mechanisms to alter the sensation of pain, physicians have found that smaller concentrations of each medication can be used.
Topical creams and gels can be formulated and compounded to provide high local concentrations at the site of application, for trigger point application, or in a base that will allow systemic absorption. When the medication is used topically, many of the side effects associated with oral administration can be avoided.
At Advanced Scripts, we work together with patients and practitioners to solve problems by customizing medications that meet the specific needs of each individual. Please contact our compounding pharmacist to discuss the dosage form, strength, and medication or combination that is most appropriate for you.

"gracious words are like honey,
sweet to the soul+ healing to the bones"
So, what's the story? Who are we and why do we exist?
Honey Bones Co. was born out of a desire to return to Wisdom and a Call to Create. Our Co-Founder, and creator, Katrina, was helping others heal through the field of Social Work when she felt a call to study Herbalism. Through her studies, she uncovered the Wisdom of plants and fell in love their Creator.
The Call she answered became a revelation that she could continue helping others heal through harnessing the Potent Power of Nature's Healing Agents and creating Botanical-Based Bodycare.
However, we need to back up because that is not where the Story began. The Story began at the creation of this beautiful planet that now exists as a dichotomy between Wisdom and our ignorance of it. In our planet's most perfect state, seed-bearing plants were abundant and GOOD! Plants were created and provided for us by our Creator for nutrition + medicine. Our bodies are created as temples and plants are our provision for them!
Unfortunately, we became poor stewards of both our bodies and our planet. We became selfish, ignorant + foolish. This folly and the love of money significantly clouded mankind's ability to grow and provide our families and neighbors with healthy food + medicine for our bodies.
Farming practices contaminated our soil with pesticides, processed food became a norm, and chemicals began to permeate modern medicine and personal bodycare. These pesticides, carcinogens, and toxins began to fill the shelves of our grocery stores, our homes, and our bodies.
BUT! Don't forget where we pick up in the Story! There is Hope through those warriors that preserve and pass on Wisdom and because we have the freedom to choose what is good. We have the freedom to choose Wisdom and living in the right relationship with this planet and care for selves, our families + our neighbors.
All of our ingredients are from nature and we utilize Organic plants in everything that touches your body. We leave Essential Oils out of our products, as some can have adverse skin reactions with them and we never use synthetic fragrances.
We understand that there are those that are limited in their choices because of their circumstances, so we strive to keep our prices low and are eagerly willing to share our products with any Neighbors in Need.
This is where YOU come into the Story. We are so grateful you found us and that you are choosing to let us help you care for your body. Please keep the Story going and share your story with us and with your people! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for letting us care for you with our Botanical-Based Bodycare that provides healing, nourishment, protection, and relief to your body and helps you become Healthy, Healed + Whole.
We believe there should be no barriers to healing. Please fill out a Neighbors in Need request form if you or a neighbor is in need of Honey Bones Co. products.
We would not be able to create for you without the knowledge + bravery of others before us. We are grateful for all people who have cultivated and passed down plant knowledge, even when it came with consequence.
As caretakers of our community, we provide paying customers with products and distribute protective + nourishing products to Neighbors in Need who have a harder time accessing bodycare products.
We source our plants locally and ethically + use recycled packaging to be responsible stewards of our shared environment. We are committed to making the least negative impact on our environment.
We are committed to only using naturally occurring ingredients that are safe and nourishing for your body. We research each ingredient we use to ensure it will bring healing.
