Welcome to The Big Question. Every Monday, Dave Spadaro, Chris McPherson and Bo Wulf will debate one of the hot topics surrounding the Philadelphia Eagles. We invite fans to continue the discussion in the comments section. Enjoy ...
CM: Gentlemen, we've made it through the offseason. The first week of Training Camp is in the books. This Sunday, we get our first taste of game action when the Indianapolis Colts come to town. It's a good appetizer to start the preseason. These two teams played a great Monday night thriller last September. The Colts won the AFC South and went to the conference title game. Still, it is the preseason. What are you most looking forward to watching on the field?
BW: First and foremost, I want to see no one get injured. That's always the most important outcome from any preseason game.
As for the action on the field, there are two things that most interest me. First, and obviously, I want to see how comfortable Sam Bradford looks in his first action running the offense when the bullets, as they say, are live. Comfort is the word I use here because it relates to how Bradford looks in recovery from his knee injury, how precisely he runs the offense and how he reacts to pressure in the pocket for the first time.
Beyond Bradford, I'll be paying close attention to the line of scrimmage, where we nor the actual decision makers have been able to evaluate much thus far this offseason. The defensive line is stacked at the top, but I'm interested in how Taylor Hart looks in his second season and how rookies like Brian Mihalik and Travis Raciti perform. The offensive line, though, is the bigger attraction, as we look to identify a worthy starter at right guard. Will we see multiple players work with the first-team offense at right guard or will one player get an early vote of confidence and, if so, how will they perform?
DS: I'm going to go with a theme that is right now very much on the minds of the fans: The defensive back situation. Look, Sam Bradford and DeMarco Murray are going to play a series or two at most and then safely watch the game from the sidelines. But the DBs are in focus. I want to see their style, their mentality. I want to see the defensive backs play press coverage at the line of scrimmage against a good group of wide receivers. It isn't just about Byron Maxwell here. There is a strong base of young talent that gets its first exposure to an NFL game. And as much as a team may like its players based on Training Camp, the preseason games are an entirely different experience. It is faster and more physical and more precise. I watched Trae Waynes get absolutely toasted on Sunday night, spun around, made to look like a fool. He's a top 15 draft pick!! This isn't easy by any means, so let's see how the kids respond.
CM: It's funny to see how much Bo wants to see Taylor Hart in action.
With the injury to JaCorey Shepherd, I am, like Spuds, intrigued by who will line up where in the secondary. Who gets the first chance to play nickel? How does Walter Thurmond look at safety? Yes, the secondary will be fascinating to watch.
I'm going to throw another name/position out there. How much better does Marcus Smith look in his second season? The third outside linebacker role is an important one. Talk to players and they consider the position akin to a starter. Veterans like Brad Jones, Bryan Braman and in certain packages Vinny Curry are good to have here, but I'm pulling for last year's first-round pick to find a niche in his second season.
BW: Guilty as charged. I am expecting that he will be the excellence of execution along the D-line.
I don't mean to steal another man-crush from Spuds, but John Moffitt's performance intrigues me as well.
DS: Good call on Marcus Smith. It's a question we hear all the time. How is he progressing? It's all about the game for Marcus. He needs to be at the football. He needs to make plays and be physical and play with confidence. I think the Eagles want to give him a lot of reps and see how far he's come since his tough rookie season. Yeah, Marcus Smith is right at the top of my list, too.
How about Walter Thurmond? What will we really know about the safety spots, given the relatively vanilla coverage combinations the Eagles will play? Thurmond has had a good camp, and now he moves into game mode. Not only Thurmond, but I want to see if Earl Wolff can impact the safety position. Critical, critical area for this defense.
CM: I know one thing for certain. The TV ratings will remain high late into the game because everyone will want to see Tim Tebow. He's made strides during Training Camp, but if he wants to take off and run the defenders now have a say in stopping him. It'll be his first NFL game action since the 2013 preseason.
BW: I don't know, Eagles fans are passionate enough that the ratings would remain high regardless. There's no way to tell whether there'll be a Tebow bump or a Malcolm Bunche bump.
CM: Malcolm is from Newark, Delaware so that makes plenty of sense.
DS: There is so much to see with this team, and the QB position is certainly included. I wouldn't be surprised to see Matt Barkley and Tebow share the second half, at least. It's really one of the most interesting preseasons-to-be that I've seen here. Every position is worth a long look. With so many changes to the roster, it's going to take fans some time to get used to having DeMarco Murray wearing No. 29 and Bradford wearing No. 7 and so on. So many changes. !

How to select boules
There are two primary categories of boules: competition boules and leisure boules. Competition boules are made of quality metals and with fine tolerances, while leisure boules are made of thinner, lower grade metals, and filled with sand for weight. With leisure boules, there is generally just one choice, while with competition boules there are a number of things to consider
SIZES vary from 71mm to 80mm. 71mm is fairly large for someone with a small hand, but that is the smallest boule certified for competition. Figuring out the boule most correctly sized for your hand is usually a matter of measuring your hand and consulting a chart. Here's a page that runs down several strategies to measuring the hand and choosing boule size: https://petanque.wordpress.com/select-boules/hand-size/ However, boule size is ultimately a matter of preference, not a mathematical fact of hand size.
WEIGHT varies from 650g to 800g. For whatever reason, the standard weights are 680 for shooting, 690 for middle players and 700 for pointers. Clearly, there are a wide variety of arm strengths on a Sunday afternoon at Lamorinda, so it makes little sense to assume the above, but it's a starting place. If you have a hard time getting your boule to a cochonnet at 10 meters, perhaps you need a lighter ball? On the other hand, heavier balls have more mass, so they will continue to roll, longer, especially down hill.
HARDNESS is a more complicated and nuanced choice. Hardness is measured by kg/mm2 (don't ask what that means, scientifically, we are only pétanque players, not engineers!), and boules vary between 110, which is a "very soft" boule and about 145, which is a "very hard" boule. There are stops at various hardnesses in-between, but 120/125 is the average/medium. A hard boule will roll faster and farther, while a softer boule will absorb more impact from the ground and come to a stop more quickly. Pointers tend to prefer harder boules, while shooters often prefer softer ones — a soft boule, when striking another boule during a shot, will rebound less, and thus there is a better chance of a carreau. A hard boule will last a very long time and keep its shiny finish for longer, while a soft boule will wear more quickly (which is still probably years of play). Hardness is very much a matter of preference and may depend on the terrain surface and the players style.
TYPE OF METAL is mostly a preference. Stainless steel is the most typical material. The other steel that boules are made of is carbon, which is more prone to rust and requires more care (or more play) to keep it rust-free. The two feel a bit different in the hand, which is much of why one is chosen over another. Both of these steels are available in multiple hardnesses, which are accomplished with variations in alloys and by how the boules are heat treated during manufacture. Also available is bronze, which are generally quite soft.
Boule brands and where to get them
The marketplace is dominated by Obut brand boules. Obut sponsors most of the competitions and spend a lot on marketing. They also own a few of the minor brands. But there's no reason to think that Obut are necessarily better than other brands, and there are many who swear by more boutique brands like MS Petanque, La Boule Bleue, Boulenciel or others.
In the US, the primary domestic source for boules is https://petanqueamerica.com/. The choices are limited, comprised mostly of Obut and La Franc which are less expensive Asia manufactured boules, but probably not of markedly lesser quality.
The other domestic source is Decathlon, who sell an English made brand of boules called Geologic. Since they are readily available, several Lamorinda players use them. They are also reasonably priced. However, Decathlon has just closed its US retail stores, though they will continue to do mail order.
A much wider variety can be found at https://en.petanqueshop.com/ . Shipping form France is about $50 (shipping from petanqueamerica is about $12), but surprisingly fast (just a few days). If you want something out of the ordinary, you'll have to pay the international air mail.
La Boule Bleue will cut a striped pattern into your boules to order (at no extra charge), and they offer dozens of choices, if you'd like to have boules that are easily recognizable. La Boule Bleue can be ordered direct from https://www.laboulebleue.fr/gb/ Futura and Unbloc also offer a variety of custom patterning, both of which make boules in bronze only, and can be ordered from petanqueshop, mentioned above.
Other than Decathlon, any of the boule retailers are able to stamp your name (or whatever words you'd like) into your boules for easier identification — especially useful if you play with a boule that many other players use.

The world's most cultivated, trafficked, and consumed drug is marijuana. As the drive for its legalization in the US and across the world grows, it's gaining significant attention from investors, manufacturers, and researchers alike.
It's even considered as the next big thing in the delivery business by many industry experts. Don't trust us?
Here are some interesting facts to back up our claim:
The first half of the 20th century saw a major backlash against marijuana with films like Reefer Madness and The Terrible Truth depicting marijuana as a dangerous substance and how it was being pushed into America as part of a secret Soviet conspiracy!
Although such movies have become cult classics and pieces of satire now, the world at times is still unclear about the uses and medicinal properties of cannabis.
The drug is still deemed controlled under federal government guidelines, but slowly, Americans are getting convinced about its benefits and are supporting its legalization.
According to a New York University research, the percentage of marijuana users between the age of 50 to 64 has doubled in the last decade. This clearly shows the growing conviction and demand for marijuana products in the country.
The growing popularity of the cannabis drug has also sky-rocketed; since it has been legalized in 35 states in the country for medicinal purposes, with 16 states also allowing its recreational use.
During the pandemic, the explosive growth of e-commerce has boosted interest in new acquisitions, including direct-to-consumer cannabis delivery.
Some cannabis companies have acquired delivery-only dispensaries, while others have acquired vertically integrated firms with home-delivery services.
These recent delivery-related acquisitions in the marijuana industry allow:
Even if a state has legalized the medicinal or recreational use of marijuana, it doesn't mean it could be easily delivered to your doorstep.
The current laws depend on the market, with some states allowing delivery services across the province while some having different jurisdictions for each municipality.
For instance, cannabis use is allowed in Massachusetts for recreational purposes, but home delivery for recreational users is still illegal. So before you start an online cannabis delivery business, make sure you know the specific laws of your state or area.
Apart from the regulations, here are other important things to know:
Setting up a cannabis delivery service can be tricky when you have to decide upon the right business model to proceed. However, as more and more states legalize cannabis use, delivery is becoming more convenient to the customers.
There are essentially two delivery models that have been effective in states where cannabis delivery is legal:
The biggest advantage of the storefront model is that it showcases the product and allows the purchase in two locations. Major brands using this model include Sherbinskis, Emjay, and The Apothecarium.
It opens doors for high-quality products at lower costs as brands don't need to spend resources on cultivation, production, and retail. Major brands in this niche include Grassdoor, Hyperwolf, and AMuse.
If you're interested in starting a cannabis delivery service, you need to understand the importance of route optimization and real-time fleet tracking in streamlining your last-mile delivery operations.
These features are provided by an optimized delivery management and dispatch app that also provides a single dashboard view of all the variables from the packaging of a consignment to the shipping and delivery of the product to the end customer.
To amp up your online delivery game, you need an optimized solution that can mitigate inefficiencies like wrong addresses, lack of standardization, and resource wastage associated with manual route planning.
Here are some ways how it changes the face of the cannabis delivery supply chain:
Just like restaurant and food delivery vendors, cannabis sellers also need to incentivize their customers and win their loyalty. The future trends in this delivery domain may see the rise of micro-licenses with vertically integrated delivery models.
With the ever-increasing competition in the market, your cannabis delivery business will also need optimized delivery and dispatch software to ensure all deliveries are fulfilled in time and to the right customer.
By using NetworkON, you get customized web and native app solutions featuring accurate scheduling, efficient utilization of resources, and the capability to manage every process from a single dashboard. The intuitive framework allows you to exercise full control of every activity from order placement to delivery to the end customer and generate positive ROI.

Tombigbee State Park is a tree-lined park located on the shores of Lake Lee just outside of Tupelo, Mississippi that is perfect for a peaceful getaway. Many people travel to the city of Tupelo, Mississippi on their way to and from some of the major cities in the area and Tombigbee State Park is also well worth the visit.
Widely known as the birthplace of Elvis Presley, Tupelo is also home to the Natchez Trace Parkway. The Natchez Trace was once a path that Native Americans traveled on over 8,000 years ago. Today, the Parkway runs 444 miles from Natchez, Mississippi to Nashville, Tennessee. The Parkway is a National Scenic Drive spanning three states and offers scenic pull-offs and recreational activities like hiking and biking trails along the Parkway. While visiting the park, you can learn about the history and inhabitants of the Parkway by heading to the Visitor Center to view the exhibits and speak with park rangers.
The main recreational attraction at the park is Tombigbee Lake. Here, you can take out your boat and do some exploring, or cast out a line and try to catch the big one. The park is also home to two fantastic disc golf courses and a day-use area that has something for everyone.
Get ready to enjoy some wonderful campground amenities if you choose to stay at the Tombigbee State Park campground. There are 20 campsites to choose from with either full hookups or water and electricity only, along with three group camping areas and eight cabins. Peak season at Tombigbee State Park runs from April to October.
Driving to and from Tombigbee State Park is very straightforward since it is located approximately six miles southeast of Tupelo. Since there is a looped road that encompasses the perimeter of the park, there are plenty of access points, but the most common is via Cabin Drive. All of the roads in the area are well maintained so you won't have to worry about any obstacles that would damage your RV.
If you need to get any supplies before your trip, there are plenty of places in the area that can stop. Tupelo will have the most options available for you, but if you are coming from the southeast you can stop into Smithville or Amory. The closest major cities to the park are Memphis (around 121 miles away), and Birmingham (around 132 miles away).
One thing to take note of is that the campground road is known for being tight, so proceed with caution if you have a rig that is around 40 feet long or larger. You shouldn't have to worry about any adverse weather conditions during your visit, but if you are concerned about the forecast it is recommended that you call ahead to the park office before you depart.
If you are traveling to the park with your RV, you will be pleased to note that Tombigbee State Park has a fantastic RV campground waiting for you to call home. Featuring a total of 20 sites, the campground is on the smaller side so you can expect a tight squeeze if you have an RV that is on the larger side.
You have the choice of two site options at the campground. Eighteen sites are equipped with full hookups, while the remaining two sites still have water and electric connections, but you won't be able to use a sewer hookup here. All of the paved campsites offer back-in driveways and are also equipped with a picnic table, grill, and fire ring.
The campground is a pet-friendly facility that has restrooms, showers, laundry, and a dump station closely located to many of the individual campsites. Campers should make a reservation during the peak season to ensure there is availability since the campground does have limited space.
Another great accommodation option for visitors to Tombigbee State Park are the eight cabins that are available for rent. Located to the northwest of the main camping loop, the cabins are right near the edge of the lake so get ready for some gorgeous views. Seven cabins are suitable for up to four guests while the ADA-accessible cabin can accommodate up to six people at a time.
Equipped with heating, cooling, a basic kitchen, electricity, a fireplace, and a TV, the cabins are kept in great condition. Keep in mind that pets aren't allowed, so you will have to look elsewhere if you are traveling with your furry friend. There is also one cottage available that features two bedrooms with reservations available up to 24 months prior to your arrival.
Thinking about visiting Tombigbee State Park with a group? If so, you can participate in some group camping thanks to the three group camping areas. The main group campsite can accommodate up to 25 people and is primitive, but there are also a further two sites equipped with electric hookups that are suitable for up to eight campers. Both of the overflow group camping areas are also ADA-accessible, so nobody will miss out on the fun.
It is important to note that all of the group camping areas are suitable for tents only, so if you have an RV you won't be able to bring it to these camping areas.
Along with being able to use the sites that are also RV-friendly, tent camping is also possible at four primitive sites that are also available for tents. These primitive sites are suitable for up to eight guests, and all of them are also pet-friendly. You won't have any restroom facilities in this area of the campground, so be prepared to walk to the main campground loop if you would like to use these facilities. Like the other sites within the campground, these tent-only sites can be reserved all year round.
The Visitor Center sits on the banks of Lake Lee and is a must-visit during your trip to Tombigbee State Park. Filled with interesting facts about the fauna and flora in the area, the Visitor Center is also where you can find the team of park rangers. If you have any questions about the park, you can stop by and inquire about what is happening and they also may have some handy tips for you to make the most of your stay.
Get outside and enjoy the lush green scenery by packing the family lunch and spending time at one of the 37 lakeside picnic sites. Bring meat or some veggies for the grill and relax at your picnic table overlooking Lake Lee. After your meal settles, take the kids to the playground, or gather a group together to play volleyball, football, or soccer at the courts and multi-use field area. The day-use facilities are well worth your time, so make the most of them!
The park hosts many annual events that bring visitors to the area throughout the year, so make sure to check the schedule on the park website before your arrival. The park's annual events are the April Fool's Fling Disc Golf Tournament, Earth Day in May, and Kids to Parks Day in July to celebrate the park's birthday. The town of Tupelo also hosts many annual events that bring people to the area, and often these events bring visitors to the park. From Elvis Presley themed events to the Tupelo Hot Air Balloon Festival, there is something to do and see almost every month.
Lake Lee, a 90-acre freshwater lake, is one of the park's most popular features. The park does not rent boats, so only visitors with their own boats can access the boat ramp if they wish to do some fishing, which is conveniently located near a large trailer parking area. The lake is not a skiing or water recreation lake, so people using boats should obey the trolling speed limit on the water. If you do want to fish, try and catch bass, bream, and catfish from your boat or the shoreline. Mississippi law requires that all people between the ages of 16 to 65 possess a fishing license. Visitors may purchase a permit at the park office for a small fee.
Disc golf is a free family activity for people who are willing to give a unique sport a chance. If you or your family haven't tried disc golf before, rent a frisbee from the park office and see what this sport is all about. The park has two 18-hole, par-three courses, so there are plenty of places to play that will keep you entertained. The courses run through the park's wooded hills and give participants plenty of beautiful scenery along the rolling trail.
If you are looking for a quiet outdoor activity, venture out on the Tree Trunk Trail for a leisurely day hike. The path is a one-mile hike that winds through the trees and along Lake Lee. If you'd like a longer walk, you can repeat the trail as many times as needed. For more information on the hiking trail, stop by the park office and speak with the park rangers or park staff.

S Poughkeepsie, N.Y.-based Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. has extended its Net Metering program that allows participants to sell the excess electricity generated through their home's solar power system back to the utility.
The company requested an increase in enrollments from 800 kW to 1,200 kW. The extension, which was approved by the New York State Public Service Commission, raises the number of potential participants.
'With new applications received each month, the program would soon have ended without this extension,' says Carl E. Meyer, Central Hudson's president and chief operating officer.
Central Hudson adds that there are currently 138 Mid-Hudson Valley residents using net-metered photovoltaic systems – with an additional 36 systems in progress.

Saudi Arabia's landmark decision to allow women to drive has continued to have a dramatic impact on the Kingdom's automotive industry and with the increase of cars on the road, the aftersales market is witnessing a boom, garnering interest from local and international suppliers looking to capitalise on a new stream of consumers.
Over 100 exhibitors from 12 countries, showcasing the latest in automotive aftercare products and solutions across six product sections, will vie for a share of the market created by the influx of female drivers at Automechanika Riyadh, which will take place from 24-26 February 2020 at the Al Faisaliah Hotel – Prince Sultan Grand Hall.
Recent figures from global research and analytics firm, Aranca – the show's knowledge partner – revealed that 30,000 new licenses had been issued between February and March this year, a positive and encouraging increase which has nearly doubled the number of female drivers on Saudi roads after a slow uptake which saw only 40,000 licenses issued in the first six months of 2018.
"With the significant growth of female drivers, automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and car dealers are seeking to capitalise on the opportunity and capture a significant chunk of the new customer segment", said Vishal Sanghavi, Head of Automotive Practice at Aranca. "For example, Hyundai has positioned its Kona SUV as a women-centric model.
"By June 2019, 25% of vehicle insurance sales agents at Abdul Latif Jameel's (ALJ) insurance arm were women and during Q1 2019, over 6% of motor insurance policies were sold to women. Initiatives such as these are expected to complement the sales of cars to women and thereby aid the KSA automotive industry in the long run."
As a result of increasing car sales, Saudi Arabia's automotive spare parts and service market, which stood at roughly US$7.6 billion in 2018, is expected to grow at approximately 6% CAGR over the next five years to reach a value of US$10.15 billion by 2023, said the report.
According to Aranca, this is likely to have a knock-on effect for the tyres, lubricants and batteries markets, as they represent spare parts with the highest replacement demand due to the country's harsh weather conditions. Tyres accounted for US$2.28 billion in 2018, followed by lubricants (US$1.44 billion) and batteries (US$380 million).
Mahmut Gazi Bilikozen, Show Director for Messe Frankfurt Middle East, which licences the Automechanika brand to event organisers ACE Group, said: "There's an enormous prospect presented to automotive and aftersales companies as female drives are an entirely new customer segment for the KSA market. Despite a relatively slow start for the landmark law, it's clear that the pace of issuing licenses has quickened, and it will not only offer lucrative business opportunities for suppliers but present unique challenges in managing their supply chains to meet the growing demand."
The biennial trade fair serves as the dedicated automotive aftermarket and services industry trade fair for the country's central and eastern regions and alternates between the Kingdom's capital and the Red Sea port city of Jeddah – with the next event hosted in 2021.
The three-day event's global presence will also be strengthened by four international pavilions which include contingencies from China, Hong Kong, Korea, and Taiwan.
Automechanika Riyadh is one of 17 instalments of Automechanika – the most successful automotive aftermarket trade fair brand in the world. The next regional event will be Automechanika Dubai, held from 7-9 June 2020 at Dubai World Trade Centre.

Vaping, the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) or other Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS), has increased in recent years compared to the use of traditional cigarettes. Like traditional cigarettes, vaping has multiple harmful effects, including special concerns for young people. Despite recent regulations by the FDA, loopholes still exist that allow the sale of flavored ENDS devices to youth.
ENDS are battery-fueled devices that heat and vaporize liquid chemicals for inhalation. They are not combustion activated like regular cigarettes, but explosions and burn injuries have occurred from the lithium batteries that power the ENDS heating element. The enclosure around the battery, improper charging in the USB port, and expanding gas within the case are believed to be the most common triggers for explosions that can result in severe injuries including substantial facial burns, fractures, and/or loss of vision.
A September 2020 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study reported, "During September 2014–May 2020, e-cigarette sales increased by 122.2%. Sales of prefilled cartridges increased during September 2014–August 2019; since then, sales of disposable products have increased. Prefilled mint cartridge e-cigarette sales increased from September 2014 to August 2019, then decreased, as menthol sales increased during August 2019–May 2020."
Poisoning has occurred in children from ingesting the highly concentrated nicotine found in the ENDS chamber and refill containers. These products are often marketed with colorful, attractive packaging and flavors (e.g., fruit, candy, and mint), which can be tempting to children. Nicotine poisoning in young people can result in coma, seizures, heart attack, cancer, and death.
The "e-liquids" in ENDS, even in absence of nicotine, have been shown to harm middle ear function, and e-cigarette use increases the risk of asthma attacks in youth. Furthermore, the recent (2020) use of e-cigarettes is associated with a five-fold higher risk of COVID-19 infection in a survey of adolescents and young adults, possibly due to respiratory poisoning and frequent hand-to-face touching in users.
Use of e-cigarettes in pregnancy can have multiple harmful effects on the fetus, and the harm may occur before the mother knows she is pregnant. Smoking of all types increases the risk of congenital heart defects. Nicotine exposure in utero can increase the risk of childhood and adult high blood pressure, impair the development of normal brain circuits, and is associated with pre-term births and still births.
Nicotine in e-cigarettes may affect the maturing brains of adolescents, leading to emotional disorders and increasing impulsive reactions. Nicotine is an addictive drug and may lead to addiction to other "hard" drugs.

Project Description
Love Games (A BWWM Billionaire Romance) by Tiana Cole
Can two headstrong, heart-wary people turn mutual deception into meaningful discoveries?
From oppression to opportunity …
Jade Benoit's father abandoned her before she was born, so she's shocked when his will leaves her a run-down estate in South Carolina. After struggling her whole life to make ends meet and take care of her family, this might be their chance to have a real home at last.
From guilt to greed …
Real estate billionaire Carl Roberts can't heal the scars of his past, so he buries the hurt in piles of money. He's ruthless in his business dealings — but no matter how much he makes, it's never enough to ease his inner torment.
They'll have to work together to survive
Carl sets out to romance Jade into selling him the estate at rock-bottom prices. But the young schoolteacher is wise to him, and decides to turn the tables.
When a hurricane turns north and batters the coast, Jade and Carl are trapped together on the estate, surrounded by rising waters. Has fate given them the chance to find a better path, or will their schemes prove their undoing?

Putting Clients' Home Care Needs First
In the latest edition of Caring Magazine, Shelle Womble, Senior Director of ResCare HomeCare, discusses the importance of excellent customer service in the realm of home care. She writes, "Unlike in a product-based market, people aren't quick to sacrifice quality customer service to save a few bucks when it comes to caring for themselves or a loved one. Yet it has become rare to find customer service in our industry that truly goes above and beyond."
At Baywood Home Care, we know how valuable it is to find customer service that goes the extra mile. That's why it is our mission to put clients first by enabling them to live where, and how, they want to live. This is just one of the ways that we provide superior senior home care in MN and make customer service a top priority. Here are a few others…
One of the most important aspects of phenomenal customer service at Baywood is the way we match our clients with the best home health aides in the home health care industry. How do we hire the best? By setting a higher standard than is typical in other organizations. High standards for skills and knowledge eliminate all but the best candidates. Then we take these candidates and do two background checks, reference checks, a driving record check, as well as in-depth personal interviews. Our home health aides have the same capabilities and training as the home health aides in assisted living and the nursing assistants in nursing homes.
Not to mention, we spend much time and care successfully matching our clients with compatible home health aides to provide the best home health care in Minnesota. If for any reason a client is unhappy with the match, a change is always made. And with superior consistency of caregivers and guaranteed staffing that ensures clients always receive service, it's clear that Baywood treats the client/caregiver relationship with the utmost value and respect. That's exceptional customer service!
Baywood's Minnesota elder care is unsurpassed in its success in making home care "work" for people. Just how do we make it work? By providing a thorough range of services that includes everything from offering care when family caregivers are absent to supplementing in-home hospice care. Our home health aides are well trained, and can perform crucial tasks such as administering medications and monitoring blood pressure and blood sugar. In addition, our caregivers can take the burden of chores off clients, assisting with duties such as preparing meals, cleaning the house and running errands. Whether you or your loved one needs help a few hours a week or 24 hours a day, we've got you covered. This flexibility represents customer service at its finest.
It's the way we answer your questions. It's the way we care about our clients' homes and their peace of mind. It's that extra connection with caregivers that clients feel, knowing that home health aides are there to meet their needs. It's the ability of clients and their families to choose from a wide range of services and timeframes to construct the perfect home care schedule. It's all of these things and more. It's the Baywood Difference. Are you searching for Minnesota senior care, such as elder care in Minneapolis or home care in Fairmont? Contact us today and learn how our superior customer service can connect you with exceptional home health care that meets your specific needs.

Imagine a friend who wants nothing more than your complete success. This friend always listens with interest to what you have to say, and gives you the feedback you need to make tough choices and changes. This is the essential job of a coach. We try to help you state the problem clearly and understand it. We help you plan an approach to solving it and executing that plan. As a coach, I believe that you already have the knowledge and skills you need for the solution; and my job is to help you bring out those skills and use them effectively.
Although there are some similarities with coaching and psychotherapy, the focus in each is very different. Generally, when someone seeks out therapy they are having difficulty functioning. Often it is because they are suffering from some emotional or psychological problems.
However, when someone thinks about hiring a coach he or she is generally handling professional and life responsibilities well. Yet, they are beginning to feel a need for support and focus to accomplish new goals and satisfaction. The client's ability to function well and take responsibility is an important aspect of setting up "the coaching relationship" because the client will play the major role in creating their success.
In my work as a Life & Career Success Coach, I bring a wonderful mosaic of life and professional experiences. The life experiences I recieved from living in a number of cities and having traveled globally has helped me give my clients a broader view of success. I flourished in an exciting and successful career in the fashion industries of New York, Paris and London. I enjoyed creative expression as a jazz vocalist and writer and experience inspiration through my service with The Sukyo Mahikari Centers for Spiritual Development. Their motto is to "Improve Yourself -Improve The World." (www.sukyomahikari.org )
I am also actively practicing as a Licensed Mental Health Therapist. My work is a harmony between Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology and Universal Spiritual Praactices. It is a step-by-step supportive process to help you improve your self-awarness about your strengths and liabilities. This gives you the confidence you need to confront any current or future challenges. I am a Blue Cross provider or you can self-pay. You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Check out my website at www.NewAnsewersCounseling.com
My work as a coach has been a beautiful expansion of my previous careers and life experiences. Some of the techniques I use are based on the training I received from the Mentor Coach Training Institute along with concepts from Positive Psychology and Business Leadership Strategies. I have also trained with WBEC as a Core Practicioner in Judith Glaser's CONVERSATIONAL INTELLIGENCE PROGRAM.
This mosaic of life and professional experience has inspired me to develop Positive Attitude Coaching.com because I am convinced that we can overcome obstacles with our innate gifts, strengths and life experiences. My passion as a coach is to encourage every client to realize this knowledge for themselves so they can actualize a life of success and fulfillment.
In my speaking engagements, I offer practical skills to inspire organizations and individuals to overcome the blocks and self-limiting ideas that keep them from achieving their goals for success and harmony. I have expanded my work in Positive Attitude Coaching in a book, STEPPING STONES TO SUCCESS which I had the privilege of coauthoring with a number of experts such as Deepak Chopra, Jack Canfield and Dr. Denis Waitley. I have also published as a coauthor in the Gratitude Book Project -Celebrating 365 Days of Gratitude.
I have published my own book called CHANGING OBSTACLES INTO NEW POSSIBILITIES - STRATEGIES FOR ACHIEVING LIFE SUCCESS AND SATISFACTION. "The little book" you absolutely have to have is filled with simple skills and quotes to refer to each day or each week to help you reframe your attitude to create the potential for more life success and satisfaction. Available on Amazon.com & Kindle or on my website: PositiveAttitudeCoaching.com.
I also had an exciting adventure hosting my Internet Radio Show for VoiceAmericaVariety.com called
LOUISE COHEN'S CHANGING OBSTACLES INTO NEW POSSIBILITIES with lots of inspiring guests.
The show is available on Podcast on my website
Founder of PositiveAttitudeCoaching.com a Life & Career Success Coaching program emphasizing the balance between your "material self" and the "inner self" that allow you to live your life with a genuine respect for self and others.
Founder of NewAnswersCounseling.com a mental health counseling program to explore your strenngths and liabilities for new and lasting health and well-being.
Often what we take for granted is where the treasures lie. Often the treasures we are seeking, we already own. They are within ourselves and others.
Practicing a change of attitude with universal principles such as gratitude and a love and respect for self and others can become powerful strategies for success when you combine them with practical life goals.
- Louise A. Cohen
Have you ever thought about the idea that along with your role as a business owner, employee, spouse, family member, friend, etc. that you also have a "special role" to create harmony, respect and caring? Do you feel it would be impossible to express this and still be a success in the world? Do you have the courage to find out if it is true? Do you have the courage to find out who you really are "inside and out"? It may surprise you in very positive ways.
- Louise A. Cohen
Trying to accomplish something totally new for yourself is a step-by-step"trial and error" process of practice and commitment. But when you begin to experience "true change"inside and out, you will realize your hard work has uncovered new strengths and real confidence.
- Louise A. Cohen
If you have come to my page on selfgrowth.com, you have already taken the first steps for change and growth. Something inside is telling you that you need to find some new answers. "Curiosity" is a great attitude to start "a business or life coaching journey" or a "mental health therapy journey". It can push you forward to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of new success and change.
It can sometimes be a journey of bumpy roads and unexpected storms. But I can assure you that many have made this trip successfully before you. And if you make a commitment to stay open to the unexpected, you will begin to meet a "new you" on the road to success and fulfillment.
Whatever your belief or philosophy, it would be a joy to support you on your journey to find "your treasures within."

I'm not typically one to jump on the bandwagon early. Maybe it's in part my natural scepticism to anything trendy or new, or my inner luddite weariness, but I've always been a late bloomer. There is no exception when it comes to holidays, either. Growing up there would be no talk of a tree or nog until school was out, come December 18th. Then it would be a mad week of shopping, eating, and decorating until the big day. This was, in part, a desire to keep things special, exciting, and full of anticipation. Yet here we are, the end of November, and I'm starting to cave! Oranges are drying out in the oven as week speak, I've laid a few boughs of holly that I pillaged from the neighbours on the window ledge, and low and behold, there are twinkle lights!
Ultimately, one of the best parts of this time of year are the cozy drinks. As of late, dandelion lattes, medicine mushroom mochas, and milky chai teas have been in heavy rotation in our house. Inspired by Renee, I've even gone so far as to add tahini to bevies, and found wonderful results. Just like the oats from last week, adding a touch of nut butter elevates a drink like cocoa from ordinary, to a thick and creamy drinking chocolate (someone pass the churros!).
The results are a drink so decadent that what I thought would be a cup for one could easily be a cup for two. Aside from adding a creamy thickness, the tahini brings a nutty flavour. When mixed with cocoa, this makes for a cup eerily similar to chocolate halva. I added some medicinal mushroom powder and maca, becuase you know -I'm a hippy- but this would be equally as great without.
Stay warm, stay dry, and happy merrymaking!
- If you're in the need for a new podcast, a friend of mine has a really wonderful one exploring folk culture. I highly recommend this episode on Finland! Super good tunes.
- Some fun questions to ask your tarot deck (or better yet, your Oblique Strategy deck)
- My friends at Picot are giving everyone 20% off with the code WHOLEHEARTED20. This is a one time use, but it doesn't expire. A perfect way to make use of the low Canadian dollar.
- Currently, I'm saving my pennies to go to this adorable Japanese vegan cafe/ pretty store. It's everything I want in a shop, and besides the fact that I can't read their IG posts, I adore them.
- This January I'll be co-hosting an IG workshop with Moonrise Creative, Kristine Lee, and Leslie Shewring. If you're in Victoria, c'mon by and say 'hi' and watch me nervously public speak.
- This week I've been binge watching Malin's YouTube channel, picking a million kiwis (suggestions on uses welcome), and will be watching my first live tattoo (on a friend, not me) and hoping I don't faint in the process.
- As for eats, I can't wait to to try these Raw Eggnog Balls; this Winter Farro Bowl; these Beetroot Burgers, and this Lentil Soup. Hello cozy vibes!
- Last week we went and saw Seu Jorge perform the Bowie songs from the Life Aquatic, and now all I want to do is wear a red toque and pretend it's 2012.
Serves 1-2. Print it Here
1 Cup Nut Milk
½ Cup Water
1 Tbsp. Coconut Sugar (or 2 tsp. Maple Syrup)
2 Tbsp. Cocoa or Cacao
Pinch of Sea Salt
Splash of Vanilla
2 tsp. Tahini
1 tsp. Maca
½ tsp. Mushroom Powder (I used this mix, but any medicinal mushroom powder would be great)
- Heat everything together in a small pot. Taste and add more milk or sweetener if needed.

The overall design comprises a gray and black PCB with an actively cooled gray and black chipset heat sink and a gray PSU heat sink that helps keep the VCore processor area cool.
So it has the features and the looks, but does it have the performance to be the best motherboard in a range of great motherboards? Read on.

ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 Review Summary
The ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 performed well in our overclocking and stock tests. For gamers who need a Thunderbolt 3 port, this is among the few cards that offer it. The chipset fan was audible in the stock configurations. But for the price tag, this little card is a complete and impressive solution for a small build.
- Robust Voltage Regulator Module (VRM)
- Integrated rear I/O shield
- Excellent aesthetic
- Great implementation of RGB LEDs
- Acoustic chipset fan

ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 User Manual
Detailed ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 Review
A) Board Layout
This motherboard 4 follows the concept of its Z390 counterpart. This matte black circuit card is nearly entirely covered by the massive heatsink covering the 3 M.2 slots and chipset, as well as an integrated I/O shield and a rear I/O cover.
- The back of the ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 is also black but not white, as a large backplate occupies over half of the back of the plate.
- The backplate adds structural integrity when heat sinks are mounted on it.
- ASRock has put several drivers on the back of this card, especially for the 2.5Gb/s LAN.
- The ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 is very sharp and looks modern, with an excellent level of detail. The processor socket is open enough to house most coolers, and the VRM heatsink seems quite capable.
- Although it is not a very complex part, the finishing and machining of the heatsink are absolutely magnificent. The Torx screws are an exciting twist, although we wish they had been used throughout instead of the M.2 heatsink screws.
- The upper M.2 heatsink overlaps the chipset heatsink, and the two are connected with a thermal pad.
- The ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 offers 2 PCI-E 4.0 x16 slots, all enclosed in steel armor, as well as 2 PCI-E 4.0 x1 slots. In addition, the card has a total of 8 SATA3 6Gb/s ports, all at a 90-degree angle to the card.
- The ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 has an excellent rear I/O offering with 1 LAN port and a PS/2 Mouse/Keyboard Port.
- In combination with the WiFi 6, the ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 has a lot of network power.
Suggested Reading:
B) VRM Overview
The ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 features 10-phase VRM in a (1 x 2) + (6 x 2) setup.
- The fundamental components are mainly similar to the current ASRock X570 Taichi but with a slight adjustment to the power, levels used.
- The PWM controller supports up to 5 phases in different configurations.
- To perform 10 phases, ASRock employs 4 Intersil ISL6617A Dopplers located at the board's rear. To fill in more Vcore phases, ASRock also opted for Doppler in SOC.
- The ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 uses SiC654 power amplifiers for all 10 phases (2 for SOC and 12 for Vcore).
- The two stages are pretty similar, and both offer a maximum current output of 50A. Still, the SiC654 of the Phantom Gaming 4 also offers protection against overheating and overcurrent with low loss of efficiency (90% vs. 95% of maximum efficiency).
- The ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 has a maximum output of 600A, much higher than what a Ryzen 3000 processor could consume. As a result, this VRM is definitely considered oversized.
Suggested Reading:
C) Software
On the software aspect, ASRock offers users some valuable apps for overclocking and system monitoring with the RGB control, Phantom Gaming Tuning program, and even an "App Store" for easy download and installation of ASRock applications and other third-party applications.
- ASRock's App Store is a small footprint app that gives users easy access to their applications, including the XFast LAN, Full Color RGB LED utility, Restart to UEFI, and Application Loader.
- Besides ASRock apps, some 3rd-party apps such as Norton Security and Chrome can also be downloaded here.
- This application also provides access to the BIOS and the latest drivers for the system. This section shows a list of BIOS/drivers and the latest version and indicates the most recent version available.
- Just select which one you want to update, and your drivers will be updated. Overall, the app was helpful for an initial upgrade and its functionality for a full upgrade.
D) Overclocking
Overclocking the Ryzen 7 3700X processor on this motherboard generated a clock rate of 4.25 GHz with 1.325 Volts in the BIOS).
- Switching to the next multiplier at the same voltages resulted in a default value.
- More voltage resulted in throttling, while less voltage in a much faster time was a fail.
- It's just the end of the road for this room-cooled processor. It has been shown that the VRM sends relatively stable voltages (depending on the software).
- When using optimized presets, it reads like level 3, but with a fixed voltage, it changes automatically to level 1, the highest.
- To put it in a nutshell, the ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 handled the manual tuning of the GSkill Neo-Sticks to DDR4 4066 CL16 and the XMP tuning to DDR4 3600. This was also done with the 1: 1 ratio for optimal performance.
- Overall, this motherboard could achieve the same clocks on the CPU as competing motherboards with a similar voltage.
E) Audio Quality
Pros of the ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4
- Minimalist board with an intuitive design.
- Excellent cooling for MOSFET and chipset.
- 10 power phase design.
- Above-average load-out of SATA and USB ports.
- Support for WiFi 802.11ax over WiFi-6 certified Intel silicon.
Cons of the ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4
- All-in-one heat sinks over M.2 slots and chipset make it challenging to upgrade memory on an integrated PC.
- Lacks a USB-C port.
Models Similar to the ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4
The ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 and the ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-Plus have similar general performance, but they have some notable differences.
The ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-Plus has a higher memory frequency at 4400 MHz and a better network adapter speed at 2500Mb/s than ASRock's 1, 000Mb/s.

A dissertation refers to a research project that a student is required to complete as part of their undergraduate or postgraduate degree. Dissertations helps pupils to forth their results pertaining to a proposition or question which they select on their own. The primary purpose of a dissertation is to analyse the analytical skills that pupils have gained throughout their tenure at an institution of higher education and the evaluation determines their final grade.
Even though students generally receive some guidance from teachers and professors, the dissertation project is for the most part independent. A dissertation reflects your skills and ability as a budding researcher and is also a method of examining your knowledge of a particular subject.After you have completed writing your dissertation and proofread and checked it for plagiarism,
In addition to holding all the vital pages of a dissertation together, it is very important to bind a dissertation as binding plays a pivotal role in creating a good first impression of your dissertation in front of your professor or supervisor. Students are flooded with a plethora of ways to bind their dissertation that ranges from spiral binding which is economical to hardcover binding which is more expensive.
Spiral bounding: Metal spiral binding is sturdy and evokes a proficient look. At times, one can also choose the metal colour to be used from white, silver and black and one can also select a transparent plastic cover for the front and back of one's dissertation.
Comb binding is more cost effective than spiral binding. The primary advantage of this kind of binding is the fact that you can open the binding to add or get rid of irrelevant pages. This kind of binding suitable is mostly used for drafts. It also supports a crystal clear cover on the back as well as the front of the dissertation. However it does not give out a professional appearance.
Fastback binding which refers to softback binding, is another type of binding service that students can avail to bind their dissertations. In Fastback binding, the pages of a dissertation are held together by a linen back with the help of strong glue. Fastback binding is used primarily for books. It emits a professional look apart from being comparatively cheap. The only disadvantage is probably the fact that one runs a risk of the sheets of paper coming loose after a period of time.
This type of binding is usually employed for binding books wherein the pages are attached and organized with strong glue or at times sewn together which leads your dissertation to be protected with the help of a cover which is flexible in nature. This kind of book binding adds and lends durability to a dissertation and ensures that your dissertation is more strong, resilient and durable. Paperback binding also gives a professional look to your dissertation.
In majority of the cases, it is possible to add front lettering as well as spine lettering. However the only disadvantage of paperback binding is that the process of opening your dissertation and browsing through it would be less smooth as compared to opening and browsing with spiral binding or comb binding.
This type of binding is very similar to paperback binding, with the only major difference being that both the covers of a dissertation are hard rather than being flexible. Resiliency and durabily are the hallmarks of this kind of binding and is essentially used to bind dissertations of post graduate students and other hefty written texts and documents.
The quality of the material as well as the fabric that is used to bind the front as well as the back cover can be customized as per one's needs, tastes and requirements, including the front lettering as well as the spine lettering.
You can choose to print your colour Dissertation or print it in Black and White If it is not clearly mentioned by your teacher or written in the guidelines of your university, you can choose if you wish to print your dissertation in black & white or print your dissertation in colour. However it should be kept in mind that printing your dissertation in colour is more expensive than choosing to print your dissertation in black and white.
Usually, a dissertation printed in colour looks way more specialized, however that does not mean that is mandatory. If the dissertation you have written comprises of various graphs, diagrams or numerical figures which depend on the use of colour, it is advisable to at least print these pages of your dissertation in colour.
It is better to print your dissertation double sided as it is usually less expensive and more affordable than printing single sided. In addition to this, the other benefit of printing double sided is it tends to make your dissertation less thick due to paper savings.
However, there are some universities that require a student to print their dissertation single sided. Hence it is best to check with the university and follow their prescribed guidelines.
A student generally does not pay much attention to the thickness of the paper that is used for binding and printing and this fact often goes unnoticed and unheeded. More often than not, most students do not ponder over it, but it is an essential element to consider as it has a substantial effect on the ultimate feel and appearance of the dissertation of a student.
A lot of students print numerous of one's dissertation. Based on the prescribed rules of your university, a student may be required to give more than one copy of your dissertation to your professor or teacher. It also helps to have a few copies of dissertation in hand as you may wish to keep a copy of your dissertation for your own family.
Production time which refers to the binding and printing time takes two days, with the delivery taking a day. If you choose to pay an additional amount, (an additional charge that can vary between +20 to +80%), the printing and binding time as well as delivery time may be reduced.

Challenge Overview
Mythril Platform API enables a secure and thriving ecosystem of Ethereum dapps and smart contracts. This NodeJS-based API is being developed currently, with a large contribution of Topcoder development community. In this challenge you will update API authentication scheme to ensure higher security, and also add misc endpoints to support admin functionality.
Project Background
In its current state API exposes a very basic functionality provided by Mythril tool, and is deployed for an alpha testing by the community. Mythril team plans to focus on adding new features to the API during the next few months, and significant part of this work will be performed via Topcoder challenges.
Technology Stack
Mythril API is ExpressJS / NodeJS (thus JavaScript) server-side application. It uses MongoDB as the database, and RabbitMQ as message queue for communication between API REST server and worker(s) which performs time-consuming operations. API tests are implemented with Jest and Supertest.
Code Access
Mythril API codebase is proprietary, its current version is provided in the challenge forum as ZIP version of the code repository (Git). That repository also contains basic API tests. In addition, in the separate public repository mythril-ci we host API integration tests, which run API against the latest version of Mythril tool to detect any possible regression (see src/docker/integration-tests folder in the integration-tests branch, work out of the commit c74b08232144c866c90561249fcc4b182ed9af38).
Individual Requirements
Consider all requirements as major.
Update user roles handling.
Currently, user's type field is a string with two possible values: free and unlimited, which determine API usage quotas for that user. It should be replaced by a set of user roles, so that multiple roles can be assigned to the user and tested efficiently. Add admin role, which will allow user to perform admin operations, as described in further points.
Update user management endpoints and logic: replace API key by account password.
Move existing POST /auth/user endpoint to POST /users, then:
- Update it to require ReCaptcha only from non-admin users;
- Do not generate API key.
- Use user ID instead of email in the link send with the email verification message.
Replace existing GET /auth/user/verify/{EMAIL}/{VERIFICATION_CODE} endpoint by POST /users/{USER_ID}/activate. The payload must be VERIFICATION_CODE and USER_PASSWORD (i.e. user sets his password as a part of verification). Check that password is strong (at least 8 symbols, includes letters of different case, digits, and special characters). If password is provided and fails the check - fail the request; otherwise, the password should be salted, hashed, and stored to the database, and the account should be activated.
Replace existing POST /auth/user/resend and POST /auth/user/lost endpoints, by POST /users/recover as the payload it will require user email, and recaptcha code. In case ReCaptcha code is valid, and the email is found in the database, this endpoint will send recovery email, with the same link as at the registration time, but with different, appropriate text. When the link is clicked, POST /users/{USER_ID}/activate endpoint will be used again to set a new user password. In case either ReCaptcha is wrong, request fails, but in case the email is unknown, the the request will succeed, without sending recovery emai (to not allow using this endpoint to check for registered emails).
Replace API key authentication by JWT authentication scheme.
Add POST /auth/login endpoint, which, given user email and API key, will return a pair of JWT tokens: access and refresh. JWT access token will be used in the Authorization header of requests to protected API endpoints, instead of the current API key. Its payload will hold essential user information: id, firstName, email, lastName, termsId, type. The token will have 10 minutes expiration time (the value should be set via API config).
Add POST /auth/refresh endpoint, which, given current JWT access and JWT refresh tokens will return a new pair of JWT access and JWT tokens. Be sure to properly check that input tokens pairs match each other, and they are revoked in the result of this operation.
Add POST /auth/logout endpoint that should revoke user's JWT tokens.
Update existing protected endpoints to use JWT tokens authentication scheme.
NOTE: Implementation should still allow several pairs of JWT tokens be active at the same time. E.g. if user logins via POST /auth/login from two different devices he will get two different pairs (A and B) of JWT tokens for the first and second login. When he refreshes, say the token pair A, only the old tokens from pair A should be rovoked, while the tokens from pair B should remain functional until their expiration or refresh. Also, the logout endpoint should only revoke the tokens that authenticate the logout request (thus loggin the user out only on the device where he opted to logout). -
Admin endpoints.
Add GET /users - returns the list of registered API users. It should return at most 10 users, and support offset query param for pagination. It should also support email param to filter users by email address (partial match).
Add PUT /users/{ID} endpoint which will allow to update existing user's data. -
Update API tests according to the change of auth scheme, both in the API repo, and in the mythril-ci repository, mentioned earlier. Add tests for the newly added endpoints to mythril-ci (no need to duplicate them in the API repo).
Update Postman collection and OpenAPI doc, to document all updated / added endpoints.
As usual, in case of any doubts do not hesitate to raise questions in the challenge forum.
