The nonpartisan Tax Foundation has released its annual "Business Tax Climate Index," and those at the top — with the exception of Florida — are the less urbanized states. Florida achieves this by not having a personal income tax, along with six other states.
The top ten, in terms of a broad selection of taxes, are: 1. Wyoming 2. South Dakota 3. Nevada 4. Alaska 5. Florida 6. Washington 7. Montana 8. New Hampshire 9. Utah 10. Indiana.
On the other end of the spectrum, New York, New Jersey, and California have the most burdensome systems of taxation. This finding is consistent with other measures of economic freedom, such as that put out by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University.

The growing trend of big European football clubs appointing former players does make financially and cultural setup of modern football.
After players, managers are the biggest entity in football. Players often steal the limelight for exploits on the pitch, but managers are the ones that create a much better environment or condition on and off the pitch to help them to deliver good individual and collective performances.
Managers are elite tacticians that have various other qualities such as man-management, good motivators, and mental strength to stand criticism. The latest trend followed in European clubs has been appointing former players as managers. It has happened across from small budget to elite clubs such as Manchester United, Juventus, and Chelsea. Zinedine Zidane started this trend almost four years ago when Real Madrid decided to appoint him as permanent manager. Appointed the Frenchman was a big gamble for the biggest club in the world, but it is eventually turning out to be an overwhelming success.
Salary not as high as high profile managers
The clubs do get a financial edge while appointing a former player as a manager. First of all, the compensation to get them in the job is not exactly huge. Moreover, salaries are not as extravagant as superstar managers such as Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola, and Jurgen Klopp. If things do go wrong, then a severance package is also feasible.
Frank Lampard currently earns £8 million per year at Chelsea, while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer earns £7.8 million at Manchester United. Mikel Arteta when appointed by Arsenal in 2019 agreed to wages in the region of £5 million. To put things into context, the likes Guardiola, Klopp and Mourinho earn more than £15 million. Meanwhile, Andreas Pirlo at Juventus earns €1.8 million per annum. (Stats courtesy: Sportekz)
Players have more respect for club legends
In terms of performances, player managers have done fairly well. Lampard and Solskjaer were able to help the team to qualify for the Champions League in their first full campaigns, while Arteta helped the team to win the FA Cup. Most importantly, the response from the dressing room during the adversity gives these managers an edge over others.
Often, players insist that managers that have been players in not distant past can understand them much better. Moreover, the dynamics of the relationship between manager and players have changed now. Players do have more power in the current era due to the amount of money clubs invest in them. In such a situation, managers need to maintain an emotional and tactical balance to get the team out of a crisis. Players often say that this new generation of managers were players previously, so they are able to understand them than someone who has traditionally been just a coach. They tend to have more respect for them and the power dynamics in the dressing room are also kept in check.
Former players more flexible with the ethos of clubs
Finally, players are also in tune with the culture of these big clubs. Solskjaer has got United approaching games like they used to do during the club's successful era, while Lampard has finally managed to integrate players from the academy that previous managers have not done in the past. Moreover, these managers often get more time from fans due to their past and they are in line with the ethos of the club.
As much as players enjoy under this generation of managers, owners are also able to sell a long-term project to fans. They benefit financially, but most importantly stability is brought at the club. Zidane has been the only former player turned into manager that has won a lot of silverware at a big club. To stop him from being the anomaly the next step for these managers is to bring silverware. Once that happens, then this type of managers will end up becoming an overwhelming success since they tick a lot of boxes.

Leave the Cannibals
They don't make them like they used to.
Envelopes used to be easier to rip open, or steam open. Between paper cuts and interlayered plastic, I do better snipping off the shorter side.
Opening up expected news has become a ritual between us. Too long we witnessed memories without each other; every opportunity of future ones we wait until the other is ready to join in the moment. My husband is finally home, so here it goes.
"Dear Mrs. Wingerd, …" and here Hubby cannot wait any longer and must read it side by side with me. Side by side. As we've sowed, so shall we reap. Tears, jittery fists, and jostling don't make reading the letter easy. We jump up and down like fools together. "BABE!!! YOU DID IT!!!"
Immediate plans set the check into a savings account or possibly a mutual fund, not doing anything with it until we've slept at least a day. Or fortnight. But this is what we do. We create this safety buffer by releasing ties to it temporarily, and then begin to dream. Will this fund the next research trip for the sequel? Will it provide money for passports for the kids? All of their homeschool education comes out of pocket so communally celebrating the rewards by furthering their world experience makes the most sense.
We clink glasses of a Sheehan bottle we've saved for awhile, totally enraptured in this, our moment. Gratitude, silliness, uncontained joy. Definitely a tithe, we remember now. The writing was meant to help our community, so this is an obvious sign we are in the right place doing the right thing. A tithe will complete that literacy program our church significantly supports. What do we do with the rest of it?
We consider a $200 getaway weekend (we can go at it cheaply in New Mexico) and further steam in the enriching affirmation I find so wonderful. And then it becomes obvious: our down payment. I'm a full-time homemaker who doesn't monetarily add to "the vault", as Hubs calls it. So far I've only participated by protecting it and allowing copious amounts of overtime. This bump in savings would allow us to leave a dangerous, cannibalistic neighborhood even sooner. Again, no permanent decisions until we've slept on it. But this grounding thought returns us from the high of anything-possibilities to our current dream growing bigger by the dollar.
I daydream of the future refuge we seek while window shopping on Sunday drives. It won't be far now. And what a writer, artist, bookworm, and child's paradise it is.
Best friend.
Delivery line, comedian.
What is this job?
Why do we care?
Divorce from our multi-layers is not possible without great universal harm.
And in this narrative, we do not condone "doing harm."
Does this hint at medical professionals linking to poet-like feats?
But let's let the listeners decide.
Many might say poets daydream, twisting language into an art. Language arts notwithstanding, the very real exchange between author and medium, and between inner realms of the non-conscious and the finally-understood, is a quantum world hardly contained in ink. We simply construct housing to hoard as many expressions of it as we can.
The bottomless pond.
Can poets still grasp the significance they play?
Will we see one day how poems should archive with their outcomes? Epics, comics, inventions, history texts…
Perhaps this future chronicle style will finally satiate the vacuum where we dump our creative force.
Who knows how poems will evolve after that.
Empathic ability is a gift
I no longer fear having it
I no longer fear losing it
I remain wholly here for awhile longer
for reasons I yet complete
Benefit, reason, is for Him to weave
being, trust, my part discovering
yesterday, not restful
today is better
recalling these truths, already settled
Much to learn, plenty of time
construct to play with
misaligned pain does not define me
we're a multi-knotted tapestry
warps and frays belong
Ikat, Afghani, nomadic, ancient, present
connect the dots, something twangs true
Kelp, seagrass, fronds, currents wayfinder
present in cellular watery tomes
Indigenous of any color interlaces through
Forgotten legacies
poignant still
lies seem louder
but here my mouthpiece
refuses homage demanded
Another set of eye-clouded orphans
before me awoken, resurrected, disoriented
fabric matrix snapping, straining
although not stranded
my purpose placed here timely
One of many, I trust this now
never again I fear the backslide
toward that hellhole
willingly my hand
reaches back, for them, anyone
paying forward miracles wrought for me
Together, we are woven
Together, we twist and curl
into patterns of foreseen distinctness
reflecting in this era, on the cusp
our language confessing
Of power to heal, to testify
unreliant on approval
offering kind ears and prayers liberally
relentless, set as flint, sparks inevitable
milestones enshrined within gratitude
Nations I've birthed, will reign
their rightful curse-breaking stead
red Theatre velvet ropes corralling the lines
awaiting the porters, stepping up, then reassigned
each misstep has value, take note neighbor mine
No one left behind, their choices do not dictate mine
wayward I'm judged by those not the jury
prayed for, my mantle, Hur-im and Aaroni
as escort I witness these Grand Theatre seats filling
willingly, purposely, aha's settle into savory vibes
~Written by Dominique Wingerd 8.31.2023
quicksand currents
What's really bothering me?
Why can't I shed fast enough. When do happy moments sparkle fulfillment again. Will today's energy sap short on best laid plans or what. You pick.
I live bothered.
Weakly, barely caring enough to bother.
But if any familiar emotions fail to surface or float myself through scenarios once deemed happy or mad, then this prevailing annoyance others call depression is "bothered."
Old beliefs nag away, these mental vagabond runts, when dogged pursuits just fail to raise the bar.
I want more.
I choose more.
I see Community choose other paths incongruent to my efforts.
Another unrealized goal.
Everyone, soooo sloooow to do things together; I can barely see myself as part of the whole.
This bothers me.

Ruckus charge after Samoan PM church visit
A man who allegedly abused people and threw meat and eggs while the prime minister of Samoa was speaking at a Brisbane church hall has been charged by police.
The 41-year-old is accused of interrupting a meeting at St Maximilian Kolbe Catholic Parish, in Marsden, on November 14, where he yelled abuse and threw food before fleeing.
Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi was speaking about new flights linking Brisbane and Samoa's capital, Apia, a spokesman for the Samoan government says.
"He was there to launch the inaugural first flight," the spokesman said.
The prime minister's safety was never threatened, he said.
The Riverview man will appear in Beenleigh Magistrates Court on December 10 charged with committing public nuisance.

Norwest Quarter, Mulpha's ambitious new sustainable residential development is being supported by an $80 million green loan from the CEFC to cut energy costs by as much as 50 per cent, demonstrating how energy efficient homes can contribute to our net zero emissions future.
Located in Sydney's Hills district, and developed by Mulpha Australia, Stage 1 of Norwest Quarter will deliver 196 net zero-ready apartments that will consume 50 per cent less electricity from the grid and will be powered by 100 per cent renewable energy with an all-electric and gas-free design.
The CEFC position is being matched by an $80 million green loan from ANZ. The sustainable apartments will have an average 7-star NatHERS rating, provide residents with significant water savings and make it possible to reduce waste to landfill by more than 50 per cent.

Basically, a casino is a building that is used for gambling. It may also be a place where certain types of entertainment events are held. The word "casino" comes from the Italian word for "little house."
In the United States, there are about one thousand casinos. Most casinos have security measures in place to prevent crime and keep players safe.
The business model of a casino involves collecting a percentage of the cash that is brought in by the casino and then redistributing the cash to bettors. A casino's profit is estimated to be about half a million dollars for every $1 million that is bet.
The casino's business model is designed to keep the house edge in check. The house edge is a mathematical advantage that the casino has over its players. The house edge is also called a rake or a commission.
Casinos in the United States earn billions of dollars every year. As more states seek to legalize casinos, more and more casinos are popping up across the country.
One of the most popular casino games is slot machines. A player can play a slot machine for as little as nine minutes. The longer a player plays, the more likely he or she is to fall victim to the house edge.
Casinos also enforce security by providing rules of conduct and cameras to watch over the players. The casinos also have a physical security force that patrols the building and responds to emergencies.

The Capital One Bowl is not where the Alabama Crimson Tide wished it would be come January, 2011.
The hopes for the team were that the desert and a Fiesta Bowl national championship repeat was in store.
That was not to be this season. Yet, the game the Tide will play and the team it will face is no slouch, either.
Enter the Michigan State Spartans, with a record of 11-1, and boasting a No. 7 ranking. The Spartans are looking for the perfect end to what has been described by their own coach as a 'Cinderella Season' by beating the defending national champions.
Thus, the game features two teams with opposite expectations going in to the season.

Chicago White Sox Morning BP: Jose Abreu has 19-game hitting streak
Jul 30, 2014; Detroit, MI, USA; Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu (79) hits a single in the seventh inning against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. Mandatory Credit: Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY Sports
With all the trade deadline talk the past few days it might be easy to overlook that Chicago White Sox rookie Jose Abreu is currently on a 19-game hitting streak.
In their game preview for Thursday's game, the official White Sox web site wrote of Abreu looking for hit No. 20 today:
""White Sox slugger Jose Abreu extended his hitting streak to 19 games Wednesday night with a seventh-inning single. He has hit in 37 of his last 38 games — the lone hitless contest in that stretch coming on July 5 against Seattle.""
Even if the White Sox make a trade, I don't think there was any offseason move or any trade within the past month that has equaled what the White Sox did when they gained the services of Abreu this past winter.
Abreu is not the cornerstone of the White Sox franchise, and along with Chris Sale they will build an eventual winner around those two players. I honestly believe that.
This season, Abreu is batting .299 this season with 31 home runs and 83 RBIs before the Thursday afternoon game with the Detroit Tigers. His on-base percentage is .348.
In his past 10 games, Abreu has raised his batting average from .291 to .299 with 15 hits (five doubles, two home runs) and 10 RBIs. He has also walked twice in that span of games.
Abreu has been a burst of fresh air this season, and it will be fun to see where his numbers end up once the season is complete.

- Wendy's initially planned to open 700 delivery-only kitchens with the SoftBank-backed startup Reef.
- The company reduced the number of Reef locations to 100 to 150 after reevaluating the operation.
- The chain said most of the ghost kitchens would be in Canada and the UK.
Wendy's stock tumbled Wednesday after it announced plans to downsize its growth projections by about 500 locations with the struggling ghost-kitchen operator Reef Technology.
In August 2021, Wendy's announced plans to open 700 delivery-only locations with the SoftBank-backed startup Reef. But on Wednesday, the chain revised that number to about 100 to 150 sites by the end of 2025.
Reef operates food trailers, or "kitchen vessels," stationed in parking lots across the US. At its peak last year, the fast-growing startup operated more than 330 food trailers globally through licensing agreements with small and large restaurant brands like Nathan's Famous and Burger King. Wendy's was one of its biggest partners.
But Wendy's company officials said sales in the US were underperforming. CEO Todd Penegor said the chain was cutting growth after a "big change" in the direction of how Reef operated, as well as "challenges with opening Wendy's delivery kitchens in certain locations" because of permitting issues.
Reef wants to "shift operating multiple brands from its locations," Penegor said, adding: "We thought it prudent to call down that number. We did not want multiple brands out of our kitchens. We want to dedicate it to Wendy's, so we'll be slow and steady."
The chain said most of the delivery-only kitchens would be in Canada and the UK, where sales met expectations and outperformed the US.
In the UK and Canada, the average unit volume for Reef-operated Wendy's locations is "between $0.5 million and $1 million, so very consistent with the performance ranges that we have previously communicated," Gunther Plosch, the chief financial officer of Wendy's, said during the call, adding: "In the US, we are not yet performing."
Plosch said: "We still think there's a great urban opportunity to continue to provide access to our brand with some kind of concept in those markets."
Mark Kalinowski, an analyst, called the rollback "a substantial step down" from earlier projections. He attributed a less than 3% drop in the company's stock midday Wednesday to the "significant scaling back of unit-opening plans through 2025 with Reef."
In a statement sent to Insider, Reef downplayed Wendy's announcement.
"Wendy's has been an early adopter of the Reef model and one of the most forward-thinking of our partners," the company said. "We are excited to continue innovating together with a focus on doubling down internationally where we've seen very strong economics in our current partnership.
"As Reef continues to focus on profitable growth, we are committed to increasing productivity and efficiency by delivering multiple brands from every kitchen in our ecosystem — when deploying our multi-brand model, we have already seen the average sales per kitchen double over the last year."
Over the past year, Reef has been plagued by multiple setbacks in its fledgling ghost-kitchen operations.
It has been laying off workers, restructuring divisions, and delaying employee bonuses. It has also been accused by vendors of not paying invoices. In May, the real-estate giant JLL sued Reef over allegations that the startup failed to pay invoices totaling $3.5 million. The two companies reached a settlement a month later.
Public-health officials have shut down some Reef trailers for operating without permits or violating local food-safety rules.
In early June, Reef ousted its president, Michael Beacham, who spearheaded ghost-kitchen deals with high-profile restaurant chains like Wendy's.
Losing hundreds of prospective Wendy's trailers comes as Reef faces stiff competition in the industry.
Ghost kitchens are exploding across the US, with many offering different business models from Reef's.
Longtime rivals are also earning the attention of nontraditional investors. Last month, The Southern California-based Kitchen United announced a $100 million Series C fundraise led by new backers such as Kroger, Circle K, the mall operator Simon Property Group, and Burger King's owner, Restaurant Brands International.

In the transition period from CRT monitors to LCD monitors, CAD/CAM professionals, such as designers, selected LCD monitors on the basis of how their CAD software interfaces looked like on the LCD monitor screen.
The most important of the selection criteria for LCD monitors was that drawn lines and drawings were displayed the same as on CRT monitor screens. Among other strongly desired requirements were uniform brightness and uniform color reproduction.

For music lovers, Muscle Shoals Alabama is a place of pilgrimage, proclaimed the Hit Recording Capital of the World by the city's vintage billboards. Fans are drawn to visit the recording studios where legendary artists such as Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Steve Winwood and the Rolling Stones made hit after hit in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Muscle Shoals is located on Natchez Trace Parkway in northwest Alabama.
According to Bestitude, Muscle Shoals, together with the towns of Florence, Tuscumbia and Sheffield, belongs to 'The Shoals'.
Muscle Shoals Sound
In 1969, four local session players known as the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section decided to open their own recording studio. David Hood, the group's bass guitarist and co-founder, says the studio's name was a joke. This is how the Muscle Shoals Sound was born.
In fact, that sound was already in development in Muscle Shoals at a studio called Fame – the region's first studio to make a hit. That was 1961's "You Better Move On" by local bellhop Arthur Alexander, and it was the first of a string of R&B hits recorded there by artists like Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, and Clarence Carter.
Muscle Shoals seemed an unlikely place for a celebrity audience: the nicest hotel was a Holiday Inn, and sometimes the studios in the area put artists in mobile homes near the local trailer park. But the music kept the stars coming, and in its heyday, in the mid-'70s, there were eight studios in the area.
10 things to do in Muscle Shoals Alabama and the surrounding area
1. Alabama Music Hall of Fame
The Alabama Music Hall of Fame honors Alabama's musical stars. Artists such as Tammy Wynette, Lionel Richie, Emmylou Harris, the group Alabama, The Commodores, Nat King Cole, WC Handy, Hank Williams and many other artists can be seen in the 12,500 square foot exhibit hall.
2. Rattlesnake Saloon
Rattlesnake Saloon, the watering hole under the rock, opened Labor Day weekend in 2009. It has since been featured in magazines, music videos, and TV shows and has become one of the top attractions in the area. The Foster family has owned this land since 1916 when Owen Foster bought the first job on a 6,000-acre piece of land for 25 cents an acre. At Rattlesnake Saloon, the whole family can relax and enjoy live music, good food, and cold beer!
3. Fame Recording Studios
FAME, Alabama's first successful studio, was founded in 1959 by Rick Hall. His FAME Rhythm Section hit hits with some of the greats such as Wilson Pickett, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Arthur Conley and Clarence Carter The list of artists who have recorded on FAME are among the Who's Who in the music industry – Duane Allman, The Osmonds , Bobbie Gentry, Wet Willie and Otis Redding.FAME continues to pull the hits from its staff of songwriters and artists. Nashville Star winner Angela Hacker and runner-up Zac Hacker are regulars at the studio, along with up-and-coming James LeBlanc, Gary Nichols and Jason Isbell.
4. W.C. Handy Birthplace and Museum
Handy The father of the Blues, William Christopher Handy, was born in Florence in 1873 in a humble cabin that today houses a large collection of his personal papers, memorabilia and artifacts. Born with a natural musical inclination – as a boy he visualized bird sounds as notes on a scale. Handy went on to compose well-known blues jewels such as St. Louis Blues, Beale Street Blues and Memphis Blues. Feel the blues in your toes as you stand next to the piano that first trembled with the St. Louis Blues; see his handwritten sheet music originals of many of his tunes.
5. University of North Alabama
The University of North Alabama is one of only eleven schools across America to offer a bachelor's degree in industrial hygiene and was the first four-year public institution to offer a culinary arts program.
6. Deibert Park
Enjoy a 70 acre rustic paradise. This park with walking trails, ponds and a playground is located next to Children's Museum of the Shoals. Different lesson plans are offered for group travel
7. Earl Peanutt Montgomery Music Museum
Located in the center of Sheffield, this museum opened for public tours in July 2018. Montgomery is celebrated as a songwriter and musician. He began his career in the early 1960s as Rick Hall's lead guitarist at the iconic FAME Recording Studio in Muscle Shoals. Montgomery played with famous artists such as Etta James and Patsy Cline. Legendary country artist George Jones recorded 73 songs written by Peanutt Montgomery, including duets with Tammy Wynette.
8. Alabama Barn quilt trail
The Alabama Barn Quilt Trail is open during daylight hours 7 days a week. There is no charge to explore the trail. There are over 150 barn quilts on barns all over Alabama.
9. Pickwick Lake
This lake contains 30,175 acres of water along the Tennessee River, which stretches 46 miles from Sheffield and Florence to Pickwick Dam in Tennessee. It is an excellent area for small and freshwater drum and channel catfish fishing.
10. Spring park
Located in historic Tuscumbia, this park is used for various festivals, events, concerts. Spring runs throughout the park; including evening water show and illuminated waterfall. There is a family oriented playground. You can also find pavilions and restaurants here. You can fish for trout here all year round (for a fee).

Dark web Vendor Mysteryland Arrested
Dark web Vendor Mysteryland Arrested
Oss – The Dutch police this morning, at the request of Germany, arrested a 37-year-old man from Oss. He is suspected of extensive international drug trafficking, including the shipment of more than 17,000 drug packages.
During searches of his home and other locations in Gelderland, Brabant and Limburg, the police found cash, a firearm, 55 liters of pure amphetamine oil, a kilo of amphetamine and several vehicles that were seized.
An investigation into the main suspect and several co-suspects was already underway in Germany. After communication between the German police and the regional criminal investigation department in the east of the Netherlands, additional investigations were carried out into these Dutch suspects.
Both the German and Dutch police units have investigated the 'Mysteryland' vendor account, which was used by the suspect to trade drugs on the dark web. This trade included various soft and hard drugs with a total proceeds of approximately €950,000.
The Dutch suspects arranged bi-weekly deliveries of drug packages to a post office in Germany, which were then shipped worldwide. A 78-year-old man from Lienden, who is suspected of transporting the drugs from the Netherlands to Germany, was also arrested today.
In addition, searches were carried out in houses in Culemborg, Waalwijk, Dongen and Sittard, during which a 58-year-old man was arrested in Dongen. Germany has requested the extradition of the arrested suspects.
In this investigation, there was close cooperation with the German police, the International Legal Aid Center in the East Netherlands, as well as other regional units and the National Unit of the police. These combined efforts have produced a full picture of the situation, resulting in enough evidence to arrest the suspects.
The police emphasize that, despite the perception of anonymity, activities on the dark web are traceable. Using the dark web for criminal activities is a criminal offense and cannot be without consequences. The police remains committed to adapting techniques and following developments, both nationally and internationally, in order to be able to enforce effectively.

General Uses with the Victory Backpack Electrostatic Sprayer:
How to use the Backpack Sprayer:
Frequently Asked Questions:
What are the benefits of electrostatic spraying?
Touchles Application
There is no need to touch or wipe the surfaces (dependent on solution spraying). This provides a fast and effective application method, while using less solution.
Reduce Cross-Contamination
In most cases, a spray-and-wipe technique can move bacteria from one surface to another. Cross contamination can be considerably reduced due to the touchless effect of the Victory Sprayer.
Liquid Adhesion & Coverage
Using the electrostatic sprayers will enable a quick and effective chemical application. As fully-charged droplets hit the surface they create an even spread. Particles hold their cationic charge for approximately 2-3 seconds-preventing drips. This allows the solution to cover hidden and shadowed areas, and also enables you to cover a large area
in a small amount of time. These sprayers have been designed to meet dwell times for solutions so they can work to their full capabilities.
Electrostatic Wrapping
When you spray a solution charged with electrostatics, the solution will wrap conductive surfaces. Victory Sprayers provide a patented system for broad and safe use.
Our Victory Sprayers are light weight, cordless, and can be easily taken anywhere!
Easy to Operate
No gauges, cords, or compressors-our cordless Victory Sprayers have been designed to be used by anyone, with the use of simple switches and triggers. Simply fill up the tank, turn on the electrostatic switch, and pull the trigger.
Cost Effective and Easy to Implement
Victory Sprayers are cost effective and easy to implement due to their versatility, portability, and effectiveness.
Victory Sprayers give an eco-friendly approach to disinfection by spraying up to 65% less chemicals per square foot.
Dwell Times
Victory Sprayers' standard 3-in-1 nozzle allows the user to match particle size to the chemical's required dwell time.
What is the difference between electrostatic sprayers and generic foggers?
Although disinfectants are used in both an electrostatic spray gun and a fogger, the technology and the results are quite different.
Our Victory Electrostatic Sprayers deliver electrostatically charged droplets that are actively attracted to surfaces, including the exposed back and underneath sides of surfaces regardless of the direction of spray. The disinfectant covers surfaces and objects in a 360-degree range, while providing touchless disinfection. Essentially, the spraying has a 3-D wrapping effect. Because the particles in the spray are positively charged (and surfaces/objects are neutral or negatively charged), it allows the appropriate disinfectants to wrap around and evenly coat all types of surfaces for complete coverage. Objects and surfaces actively attract the disinfectant from an electrostatic sprayer!
Whereas, misters and fogging systems deliver very small droplets that passively deposit on surfaces based on the direction of spray and the effect of gravity, which may result in uneven or incomplete coverage. These small droplets do not wrap around surfaces and objects, like electrostatic spraying does. These small droplets simply land in the direction the mister or fogger is pointed to.
Alternatively, the methods of wiping down surfaces with disinfectants are time consuming, labor intensive and provide the least consistent coverage. It is important to know, that these services of manually disinfecting and wiping down of surfaces are considered an additional service in the commercial cleaning industry, as it adds additional time to the general cleaning scope.
Electrostatic sprayers give you the efficency, confidence, and peace of mind, that your disinfecting efforts as effective as possible!
We had Mark and his company come in and spray our office and we are so grateful. We have a possible exposure to COVID-19 through one of our employees. He was so helpful in walking through what steps to do and was so calming when we were so panicked. He came in right away and sprayed our offices so everyone felt safe and would not possibly be exposed. We loved that there were options as to which disinfectant we could use. We were ecstatic about the result and there was very little residual smell when left overnight but the smell was not overpowering or disruptive. Thank you so much!

Every nation needs an anthem… what's your best suggestion? Though it's a new song that's not yet stood the test of time, I recommend Machine Head's "Bulldozer". Beg, borrow, or steal, you've got to get your hands on a copy of this fucking song. A sample from the pre-chorus (heavy, heavy music in background): "Bulldozer feeds upon the weaker as they fall / Bulldozer crushes all."
I had to post the rest of the Bulldozer lyrics because they're so fuckin' perfect:
Into the battles, making cages rattle
There's a pain that's inside us and we're letting it out
Charge right in, we dare to fail
No one is giving in, always we live to win
A hunger turns and burns inside of all of us
And it will not be denied
Walking a path untraveled to reach higher level
Challenging always going against the grain
Blood for blood - that is the rule
And we will make the rules, never be fortune's fool
There's right and wrong in almost everything we do
For us we do what is right
Bulldozer feeds upon the weaker as they fall
Bulldozer crushes all
Somebody told me I should do what they told me
But there's a hole in that plan and I'm tearing it down
Trust our guts, follow our hearts
No one can break these nuts, these lips ain't kissing butts
The path of most resistance tests all of our strength
This strength will not be denied
Bulldozer feeds upon the weaker as they fall
Bulldozer crushes all
Bulldozer feeds upon the weaker as they fall
Bulldozer crushes all
Walking on paths untraveled
Challenging one and all
Deeper into the battles
Alone and standing tall
The more evolving changes
The more we stay the same
Full steam against the odds
Go headfirst against the grain
Full steam we go against the odds
Headfirst we go against the grain
Bulldozer goes against the odds
Bulldozer goes against the grain
Against the odds, against the grain
We go against the odds, against the grain
This is the bulldozer
This is the bulldozer
"Rise" by Pantera would be very fitting, IMHO.
I wouldn't mind something off Hatebreed's albums, esp perseverance, that cd has some waaaay powerful lyrics on it.
Good choice, however I beleive writing our own would capture our true essence. Perhaps to the tune of some already existing song. Lata.
MBE: "Official Village Idiot of T-land since 2002."
I guess 'Macho Man' by Village People is out then? (pun intended)
Hey…I think that as a democratic "T" Nation, we should be able to CHOOSE our Anthem from one of the following "Testosterone Dripping" artist:
"Barry Manilow"
"Air Supply"
…and last (but not least!); "Yanni"!
…can a Brother get an "AMEN" with a "T" on top!!!(…"her name was LOLA…she was a SHOWgirl"…la,la,la… )…
Fistful of Steel - Rage Against the Machine.
"Black Sunshine" by White Zombie, or maybe "American Badass" by Kid Rock?
how about "bodies" by drowning pool for the official leg day song.
Did anyone see the Street Fighter animated cartoon movie (the good one)? There are a couple out there, so the premise of the good one is that Bison tracks all kinds of street-fighters with borgs. He eventually kidnaps and brainwashes Ken to capture Ryu (okay, it's an anime plot)
Deep breath
Anyway, in the movie, Chun Li fights Vega in what has to be the best animated fight I've ever seen. Meanwhile, a totally rocking song is playing in the background.
I've finally learned the name of the song. It's called "Ultra" by KMFDM. Download it and give it a few listens. Man, it's VIOLENT.
yeah i have a KMFDM cd. definetely one of my top 10 cds. great to lift to.
"Die with your boots on" - Iron Maiden
-If you're gonna die
- Die with your boots on
- If you're gonna cry, just move along
"Surfacing" by Slipknot or "Height of Callousness" by Spineshank would be great picks from my opinion. Download and listen to them if you've never heard either song. They're great to workout to as well.
How about Third Day - City On A Hill? Its a religuous song, so some of the lyrics don't fit; but the majority is about we have the truth, and we need to show it to others. With the majority of America being obese, we are the ones who can spread the truth.
The opeing bass lines to the classic Iron Maiden number 'Wrathchild' just screams T!
Damn, nothing gets me pumped like some good Rage.
Walk-Pantera or
Only the Strong Survive- Flaw
They sure make those last few reps a whole lot easier.

The reigning champion of RuPaul's Drag Race, Symone, is here to remind us that we're worthy.
Pride means many things to LGBTQIA+ communities across the country. From celebrating our identities and our experiences, to self and community affirmations, Pride is a moment to be exactly who we are—and we are Unstoppable Together. It is an expression of liberation, a protest against oppressions, and a remembrance of our queer and trans families, elders, and ancestors.
Most Pride-centric initiatives don't authentically speak to LGBTQIA+ communities and ignore our lived realities beyond the frame of "coming out" and Pride parades. We believe Pride Powers Our Future, so we've teamed up with T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile, and Complex to celebrate Pride 3-6-5 with a video series highlighting the voices of LGBTQIA+ changemakers. We are elevating their stories and perspectives beyond June because we're queer and trans 365 days a year.
Up next is Symone (she/her), a Los Angeles-based drag queen and the reigning champion of RuPaul's Drag Race. Representing Arkansas' own iconic House of Avalon, Symone embodies and celebrates Black culture and pop culture in all that she does. She pushes her audience and allies to confront the issues faced by Black queer and trans folks head-on by consistently centering and honoring our experiences. She's taken the LGBTQIA+ community by storm, and brings an entirely new perspective to the world of drag.
In our inspirational final episode of Pride 3-6-5, Symone dives into what it means to support and love herself both in and out of drag. She reminds Black and brown, queer and trans communities that we are worthy—and that all things that are meant for us will come to us.
You can follow Symone on socials and support her work here.
Catch every Pride 3-6-5 feature across Complex, Wear Your Voice, and T-Mobile's channels, and learn more about our first three changemakers, Tunde Olaniran here, Serpentwithfeet here, and Fran Tirado here.

In a letter to all Forum Leaders on 30 March, the Prime Minister of Samoa, Tuila'epa Sailele Malielegaoi, recognised that "we find ourselves in extraordinary times and circumstances where the very mettle of our nations and governments are tested beyond any limits that we have known in our lifetime"
Senior Officials of the Pacific Islands Forum have met to discuss and elaborate a possible regional response mechanism that would ease the coordination of supplies and assistance to the member states.
Dame Meg Taylor was speaking at a Pacific Island development forum hosted by China in Samoa this week.
Countries needed to be more ambitious than meeting Paris Agreement targets, she said, and China could be an "important ally" by taking the lead in "escalating its ambition level and its commitments" under the Paris Agreement.
"To just meet our Paris targets is no longer enough," she said at the third China-Pacific Island Countries Economic Development and Cooperation Forum.
This was highlighted by Nauru's Finance Minister and Chair of the 2019 Forum Economic Ministers Meeting (FEMM), David Adeang during the meeting at the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat in Suva, Fiji Thursday.
Speaking during his opening address, Adeang told economic and forum ministers from the region that their meeting was held during a critical time when the global economy continued to face strong headwinds by the heightened intensity in the US-China trade tensions and the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
Nauru, which is home to an Australian immigration detention centre, is hosting this year's leaders' summit, which will get under way on September 1.
Amnesty International has co-signed a joint open letter representing a coalition of 84 NGOs, which addresses Forum leaders and observers about conditions for refugees on Nauru, and also PNG's Manus Island.
Amnesty's Pacific researcher, Roshika Deo, said the system is clearly broken if children on Nauru are considering self-harm.
On Wednesday in Suva, Taiwan's representative of the Trade Mission to Fiji, Herman Chiu, presented the forum with a cheque as part of his government's annual regional assistance.
The forum's deputy secretary general, Cristelle Pratt, said the assistance would support an initiative to build the capacity of the forum's smaller island states.
The small island states to receive this assistance are the Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Marshall Islands, and Tuvalu.
Samoa takes over the chairmanship of the Forum at the 48th Forum summit in Apia early next month.
But Mr Christian will still be an integral part of the organisation, becoming one of the Forum Troika Leaders, made up of past, present and incoming Forum chairs.
At a recent meeting with the Forum secretary general, Dame Meg Taylor, Mr Christian spoke of the socio-economic and related development issues facing the region.
A critical matter for him is air transport, which has long been seen as a barrier to island nations' attempts to strengthen their economies.
To counter new risks facing the Pacific, the ministers discussed seeking a new collective approach to security in the region.
Anna Powles of the Massey Centre for Defence and Security Studies said common ground might be found on climate change, but this would be more difficult in matters like the Papua issue on which the Forum was divided.
Dr Powles also said new ways needed to be found to deal with transnational crime, but she said this also raised questions.
The money was handed over to Forum's Secretary General, Dame Meg Taylor last week.
During the handover, the SG thanked China for their ongoing support through the fund and strong relationship between China and Pacific.
"I'd particularly like to thank you for the ongoing support to the Pacific Trade and Invest (PTI China) office in Beijing. The trade relationships we have with China are very important and the work of this office continues to help in their development," she said.
Proposed by Xi Jinping the development strategy focuses on connectivity and cooperation between China and countries primarily in Europe and Asia.
It has two components a land based "Silk Road Economic Belt" and the "Maritime Silk Road".
RNZ reports the Forum was set up in 1971 to counter the influence of the major colonial powers, but with French Polynesia and New Caledonia added at this year's summit, France has effectively become a member of the body.
This raises questions about whether other territories in the region, such as Tokelau, American Samoa or Guam should now be included.
The director of the Pasifika Centre at Massey University, Malakai Koloamatangi, said the move had opened a lot of avenues that had seemed closed in the past.

Let's be real: When you're short on time (or are just being a little lazy), the last thing you want to do is execute a full-blown beauty routine. That said, you still want to look damn good when you roll into the office with iced coffee in hand. So, how does one wave a magic makeup wand over their face in the morning and still hit the snooze button two or three times? Cue these six busy-girl beauty shortcuts that will leave you looking like a total boss babe regardless of when you wake up.
Hack #1: Exfoliate your face pre-makeup application.
Anyone who wears foundation knows how it can highlight any bit of dryness on your face — and how annoying it is to wash it off, slather on tons of moisturizer, and start all over if it ends up looking patchy. It saves time because your lipstick, makeup, everything goes on smoother after. Genius.
Hack #2: Use a clear sunscreen as your moisturizer, primer, and face SPF.
It's one of those things that everyone forgets — or just skips all together — because traditional formulas dry to a chalky-white finish. Thankfully, newer formulas, offer up a super-sheer and clear gel consistency that leave zero white residue behind. Here's where the hack comes in: Since the SPF is translucent, you can wear it solo, skipping moisturizer because sunscreen is ultra-hydrating, or you can mix it in with your base makeup for amped up daily protection. Wearing sunscreen on a daily basis is the number-one thing you can do — and the best anti-aging secret — to protect your skin.
Hack #3: Use a multifunctional mascara.
Instead of committing to a full look with bold brows, eyeliner, shadow, and mascara, just focus on your brows and lashes for an easy, pulled-together look. Try a tinted brow gel, like Benefit's Gimme Brow Volumizing Eyebrow Gel, which has tiny fibers that boost the fullness of your arches while also keeping them in place. As for mascara, look for a tube that has multiple wand functions.
Hack #4: Make your look monochromatic.
Instead of using different shades for your eye shadow, blush, and lip color, grab a multipurpose stick. A product that is so easy to use you can swipe on the color straight from the tube, or dab it over your eyelids, cheeks, and lips with your fingers. The best part is that the colors are so sheer you can apply them without a mirror and still look amazing.
Hack #5: Fake the look of clean hair with dry shampoo and a blow-dryer.
It's easy to think you can just target oily roots with dry shampoo and be done, but that only leaves you with large splotches of powder that take forever to absorb and might still be visible. Instead, spray the oil-sopping formula at least 8 inches away from your hair, let it sit for a minute, and then distribute it into your hair with a brush or blast your hair with a blow-dryer while you rake your fingers through your strands for an even application. Whatever you do, don't forget the underside of your hair too. Boom: clean hair in (literally) seconds.

A significant proportion of people restrict their searches for casual sex contacts to their immediate local area.
Adultpartyplace is part of a four million strong dating network of members, but even on a site of this immense size, such a limited strategy can prove to be far too restrictive and is unlikely to result in many hook-ups with hot female contacts. But even if your immediate local area proves fruitful in supplying a few good hook-ups, think of all of the exciting non-local contacts, sex parties and adult adventures you might be losing out on by restricting your searches to a tiny local area.
Play our short video above and learn how travelling can enhance your sex dating experiences
As well as providing exciting opportunities for travelling and discovering places you would otherwise never have visited, the sense of adventure you will derive from meeting someone in an area that's completely new to you is an experience not to be overlooked.
The next time you log in, try lifting the local area filters and start browsing to meet some hot sex contacts from outside of your local area. If you don't feel ready or able to travel right across the country, select some areas of the neighbouring county or ones that are no more than an hour or so's travel from you.
For the ultimate adult dating travel experience, why not consider going on an overseas sex holiday?
Our members even have a sex holidays forum where they can organise the ultimate adult dating travel experience in an overseas holiday destination where they can meet up and swing with other hot singles and couples. Spain is the number one choice because we have so many members living there but dedicated adult fun resorts like Cap d'Agde in France, and even Hedonism in Jamaica are popular too.

TL;DR: More toying with mobile broadband and systemd; would like help automatically stopping service depending on device availability.
What I cannot figure out how to do is automatically stop the service if the device is unplugged, similar to how ifplugd works for wired ethernet interfaces.
How about "BindsTo=" from man 5 systemd.unit? For example, "BindsTo=sys-subsystem-net-devices-wap.device".
That looks like the right starting point. "PartOf=" seems like it's intended to control units, not devices.
There's a slight problem though: not only are the device names quite verbose[*], they aren't persistent. Only the lowest-numbered USB serial port will communicate with the device; usually this is /dev/ttyUSB0 but sometimes it's not. I have no idea what the other two or three do, and I couldn't find documentation on minicom (or similar) to be able to probe them.
The new Linux persistent naming rules don't apply to these devices, and udev rules seem so arcane I could never figure out how to write a rule that would give a consistent name to the accessible port.
[*] There do appear to be aliases to their names in /dev/, so this probably isn't an issue.

Waiter Comes up to Lone 91-Year-Old Vet to Talk Not Realizing the Conversation Is Being Overheard
Sitting in a restaurant, one man had memories of war, a full life, and untapped stories which, although fascinating, he felt no one wanted to listen - until one young man came along.
Since the pandemic began, especially with worldwide lockdowns, many have become more acquainted with feelings of loneliness and isolation.
Many of us don't realize that many of the elderly have been dealing with this struggle for a much more extended period -- truly in need of some empathy and company.
Dylan Tetil interacting with an elderly man [left]; Dylan Tetil interacting with an elderly man [right]. │Source: facebook.com/lisa.shearer.meilander
In 2019, one elderly man who is a regular at the establishment was enjoying a meal at Eat'n Park restaurant in Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania, all on his lonesome. His waiter, 24-year-old Dylan Tetil, was attentive and caring.
They spoke about the vet's experience in World War 2.
The radiology student who had only been working at the restaurant for three months dropped on his knee to be able to hear the World War 2 veteran's order.
Opening up to the young man, he apologized for his poor hearing, explaining that it resulted from combat and he didn't have his hearing aids with him.
The senior citizen also confessed that he didn't have many people he could interact with. He touched the server's heart, and so upon returning with his food order, the waiter offered to sit with his customer.
According to Tetil, they spoke about the vet's experience in World War 2, the fact that he doesn't feel appreciated, and his life in general.
While it is a commonplace for many of us to share our kind gestures online, Tetil chose not to. But, he was unaware that someone was watching and listening to his kind-hearted gesture, ready to share it with the world.
Among other individuals looking on at the gesture, Lisa Meilander was one. She took pictures of the interaction and shared them on Facebook, tagging the Good Samaritan in them.
The one snapshot was of the young man kneeling to talk to the veteran, while the other was a picture of him sitting and conversing with the customer at the table.
The post went utterly viral, accumulating 13,000 reactions, just over 1000 shares, and bordering on 1000 comments.
The comment section was full of admiration for the young man's kind actions. Many said that the post made them cry, with Linda Young commenting:
"This did bring tears. I know Dylan really made this gentleman's day! So thoughtful & considerate."
Several people just expressed how much they loved the story, with many commending the waiter for his golden-hearted decision.

A significant number also appealed to their faith, with many sending their blessings to the kind-hearted waiter. One penned:
"God knows there is good out there."
This radiology student didn't only cause a domino effect of kind platitudes in comment sections but also influenced other customers in the actual restaurant. A significant number offered to pay for the elderly individual's meal.

Just like the elderly man, left to his own devices and all alone, we sometimes forget that our senior citizens can be some of the most vulnerable people in our society.
One 73-year-old grandmother, Pamela, found herself in a disastrous position. After the tornado that hit many Kentucky towns in December 2021, she was left homeless.

Miraculously, an organization called the Dream Relief Foundation raised money for her to buy a new home. Upon receiving the news, she burst into tears, expressing deep gratitude.
Not many of us will be able to buy any senior citizen, no less our grandparents, a house, but what we can do is listen to their war stories or the story of the first boy they had a crush on.
Far from being helped on a practical level - numerous people just want to be heard and feel as though they are not alone.
