Spotlight on... Devil's Coach Horse
in partnership with Wild Oxfordshire
Devil's Coach Horse
Devil's Coach Horse (Ocypus olens) is a common long black beetle (up to 32mm), sometimes mistaken for an earwig, and one of the largest of the rove beetle family (staphylinids).
You can usually find these beetles around damp areas (decaying natural matter) such as parks, hedgerows, meadows, woods as well as being a common visitor in gardens.
The Devil's Coach horse is nocturnal beetle, when it feeds on slugs, worms, spiders, woodlice and other invertebrates. During the day it tends to rest under stones, logs or leaf litter. Females lay their eggs in the soil, and these hatch into carnivorous larvae.
You will most probably recognise the Devil's Coach Horse when it adopts its characteristic defensive pose (similar to a scorpion-stance) where it curls up its abdomen and open its fierce jaws! If it still feels threatened it squirts a foul-smelling fluid from its abdomen. Beware – this beetle can also give a painful bite
Devil's Coach horse can be seen from April to October and you are most probably see them in early Spring and late Summer where they are more active.
Where are Devil's Coach Horses?
These beetles can be found in a variety of habitats which tend to be damp but not too wet habitats living around decaying matter. It is a familiar face in the wetland meadows and pastures that are part of the Yellow Wagtail Project and if you keep your eyes peeled whilst walking between Clifton Hampden and Little Wittenham, you might be lucky enough to see one.
According to our database, Devil's Coach Horses can be found throughout Oxfordshire and Berkshire, with quite a few records in the Vale of White Horse. However, our database only includes information which people have provided to us (and we have collected), so a lack of records doesn't mean that this beetle isn't present in the area. All it means is that no-one has told TVERC they've spotted them… yet!
Have you seen any Devil's Coach Horses?
If you spot any wildlife when you're out and about, share your records with TVERC via our website http://www.tverc.org/cms/content/share-your-records. By letting TVERC know what you have seen you will help protect and improve your local environment by increasing the quality and quantity of data we hold. Photographs are always helpful too, as we keep an image gallery of species found in Oxfordshire and Berkshire.
Absence records are also very useful, so also let us know if you've been out and haven't seen anything!
Your records can inform a variety of exciting biodiversity projects and help people make informed decisions about how to develop and manage land sustainably. We are a 'not for profit' organisation so rely on valuable help from skilled volunteers to improve our database.
Identification help
Devil's Coach horse have a long uniform black body with an extended exposed powerful abdomen with shortened wing cases. They are capable of flight but are rarely seen flying. They have a flattened head and sharp pincer mouthparts.
Devil's Coach Horse are easy to identify when assuming their characteristic scorpion-like stance when threatened or disturbed.

Tuesday is an important business day for teams around the National Football League and that obviously includes the Dallas Cowboys. Every single team in the NFL has to be down to 53 players on their roster by 4pm ET and the Cowboys themselves have already made a number of moves. Stay up to date with every single Dallas Cowboys roster move with our tracker right here.
One of the details associated with teams getting down to 53 players is carrying some temporarily. There are a number of players throughout the league who will be placed on injured reserve after they make the "final" roster, and it is important to note that they have to make the initial roster in order to be able to return from IR later this season.
Entering Tuesday's deadline, the Cowboys had three players who seemed like IR boomerang candidates in Neville Gallimore, Sean McKeon, and Josh Ball. As cuts were rolling in ESPN's Todd Archer noted that Kelvin Joseph, Francis Bernard, and Malik Turner could also be players that wind up on injured reserve soon enough.
Cowboys had three IR-to-return guys before today: Neville Gallimore, Sean McKeon, Josh Ball. Might have three more: Kelvin Joseph (groin), Frances Bernard (hamstring), Malik Turner (foot). They need to be on roster for today and then can go to IR. Would miss at least 3 games.— Todd Archer (@toddarcher) August 31, 2021
Francis Bernard suffered a hamstring injury way back in the later part of July so this isn't exactly shocking and Malik Turner suffered his injury during Sunday's preseason finale against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Seeing Kelvin Joseph here is a bit more deflating, though.
Joseph suffered a groin injury during Sunday's game and was originally ruled as questionable to return but was ultimately downgraded to out. After the game he tweeted that the situation was "minor" and that he would be back "better" which left the timeframe that he could be out somewhat vague. If he is going to potentially start the season on injured reserve then the situation is clearly somewhat significant.

The Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is investigating six sea turtle nests that appear to have been run over by a golf cart or similar vehicle over the weekend on Captiva.
"We're all really disheartened that anyone would intentionally cause harm to our sea turtles. I've been with SCCF for seven turtle seasons and have never seen such disregard for our nests," said Coastal Wildlife Director Kelly Sloan. "Our community and visitors are generally so supportive of our efforts to protect our sea turtles."
Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation Sea Turtle Volunteer Stephanie Plein was on her morning patrol Sunday when she reported tire tracks and stakes damaged on five loggerhead sea turtle nests on Captiva. Sloan immediately reported the incident to the FWC.
"This morning, we received two calls to our Sea Turtle Hotline – one from a resident and one from a visitor – notifying us of extensive damage to another loggerhead nest, where stakes were removed and thrown into the dune and it was likely driven over," Sloan said.
Since all five Florida sea turtles are listed as either endangered or threatened, it is illegal to harm, harass or kill any sea turtles, their eggs or hatchlings. Officers are actively investigating this incident and the FWC encourages anyone with information to call its Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-3922. Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward.
It is also illegal to operate a motor vehicle on Captiva's beach without a permit, so the Lee County Sheriff's Office is assisting in the investigation
"We are working with the proper authorities and ask anyone with information to please help in their investigation," said Sloan. "The turtles remain our top concern at this time and we hope none of the eggs were damaged. We won't find out until they hatch and then we will inventory the nests."
Captiva is having a record-breaking loggerhead nesting season, with 255 nests so far. The previous record was 194 nests in 2016. Any issues with nests, nesting turtles, or hatchlings can be reported to the SCCF Sea Turtle Hotline at 978-728-3663.
UPDATE: The Linsmayer family has chosen to turn this devastating news into a rallying cry for continued care and monitoring of nesting sea turtles on Sanibel and Captiva. They have pledged a generous gift towards Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation's coastal wildlife monitoring costs and hope other concerned islanders will join them. Make a donation to SCCF here.
However, a monetary donation is not the only way to make a difference. SCCF has suggested the following ways:
Talk to friends and family about their behaviors and the effect on marine wildlife
Never leave beach furniture or anything on the beach at night, when nests hatch and females lay nests. Fill in any holes in the sand, so hatchlings do not become stuck as they make their way to the water
Make sure to respect lighting ordinances, so the glow of the lights do not disorient the hatchlings as they make their way to the Gulf of Mexico. This includes pulling the blinds to shield interior lights and turning off exterior lights visible from the beach after the sun goes down. Additionally, do not use flashlilghts or cell phone lights, common among shellers, on the beach after dark.
Pick up fishing line and other plastic on the beach and dispose of it properly. Buy sustainable seafood that does not endanger sea turtles – pole and line tuna for instance
SCCF is dedicated to the conservation of coastal habitats and aquatic resources on Sanibel and Captiva and in the surrounding watershed. For more information on SCCF's sea turtle program click here.

Let's get loud
Making a workers' compensation claim involves you in a system that was set up to support you financially, medically and vocationally while you recover and return to your usual job (or other suitable employment). Unfortunately, that same system can leave you feeling discouraged and powerless.
You might be:
- Worried about your injury or illness;
- Afraid of getting sicker, or hurting yourself again;
- Stressed out by other things that are happening in your life;
- On the receiving end of instructions that just don't make sense;
- Not getting any better; and/or
- Stuck on modified duties that don't feel quite right.
The best way of dealing with this situation is to:
- Speak up;
- Make sure that everyone involved in your return to work plan has a good understanding of both what you can do, and how much effort your workplace responsibilities actually involve; and
- Ask your employer or doctor about what support is available before you're at the end of your tether.
Speak up
There are lots of reasons you might think it's better to stay quiet, for example:
- You don't think your concerns are relevant to your health problem, or to the workplace;
- You're worried about rocking the boat, for example by expressing concerns about your modified duties;
- Someone in the workplace is making things difficult, and you don't want to make the situation worse; and/or
- You don't trust your supervisor.
However, staying quiet can actually cause more problems:
- Your employer and the other people involved in your claim / return to work might notice that you have concerns but misinterpret them, thinking that you don't actually want to be part of the process;
- You might hurt yourself again, or delay recovery;
- You might be worrying yourself unnecessarily, and if you spoke up a doctor might be able to reassure you that you are not, for example, in danger of re-injury; and
- You might be missing out on help that could make your life a whole lot easier.
Remember: it is completely normal for your recovery to be affected by things that don't have anything to do with work, or your injury / illness.
Experts in the field of workers' compensation and return to work believe that medical issues are just one of many factors that influence how quickly and successfully people recover from injury, and get back to work. If troubles at home, conflict at work or fears about the future are weighing on your mind, chances are they're affecting your recovery too.
Explain your job in detail and tell people what you can do
Modified duties play an important role in getting you back to work quickly and safely; but since your doctor has probably never been to your workplace, and your supervisor probably isn't a medical expert, it can be hard to strike a balance between keeping you safe, and keeping you active.
Worker advocate Rosemary McKenzie-Ferguson tells a story about an injured worker, who worked in a cheese factory that made a selection of gourmet dips.
"The injured worker was cleared to lift 10kgs. However no consideration had been given to the real weights involved in loading a trolley with the cheese and then pushing the trolley from the cold room to the cutting bench.
"Then no consideration was given to the amount of force required to cut the cheese wheels to sizes that could be placed into the cheese blender."
Rosemary says that, although on paper it looked like the medical restrictions were being met, total job requirement had not been taken into account, and, "It actually took another worker to point out why the injuries were not able to heal."
Another problem is when medical restrictions are too restrictive, leaving you to spend your working days feeling bored, frustrated and unproductive. This can also delay recovery, as in most instances, staying active promotes rehabilitation.
Problems like these are likely to go unsolved, unless you draw them to someone's attention.
Ask about support before you're at the end of your tether
Annette Williams, who is the National President of the Australian Rehabilitation Providers Association, says that seeking help as soon as you need it can prevent problems from spiralling out of control.
"Talk to your doctor and your workplace, and if you need more assistance, ask them what is available. Don't be afraid to ask for support."

HREC review and Site Specific Assessment (SSA) are two distinct processes relating to the ethical approval and institutional authorisation of research involving humans. They are both components of Research governance.
Research governance is a framework through which institutions ensure that research conducted conforms to relevant institutional, jurisdictional and national standards and laws. Research governance addresses protection of research participants, the safety and quality of research, privacy and confidentiality, financial probity, legal and regulatory matters, risk management and monitoring arrangements and promotes good research culture and practice.
Site Specific Assessment (SSA) is a key element of research governance, and involves the review of HREC approval (either by St Vincent's HREC or another Certified Lead HREC), HREC approved documents, Site Specific Assessment (STE/SSA) form, study budget, Clinical Trial Research Agreements (CTRA), insurance and indemnity arrangements. Research projects undergo Site Specific Assessment before authorisation can be granted by the Executive Director (or delegate) of the organisation.
Relevant policy documents and guidelines are also listed on the Resources for Researchers page of our website.

In honor of National Caregivers Month and with special affection for fellow caregivers, I'd like to share a lesson I wrote about in my new book, "Mom's Gone Missing: When a Parent's Changing Life Upends Yours." Caring for a family member with Alzheimer's Disease or dementia is challenging in so many ways. Chief among them is watching a loved one fade away, gradually losing interest in things that at one point were precious to them. It's natural to want to hold onto them through shared memories. Doing so, however, can become a source of confusion and deeper pain.
When my dad was in the final stages of his journey with Alzheimer's, I had frequent conversations with the chaplain assigned to the hospice team. We talked about dad's condition, what the family might expect as the disease progressed, and how to prepare for his death. During one of these conversations, Chaplain Steve said something I found to be profoundly comforting. He said if we could find a way to meet dad in his new reality, we would find it easier to appreciate him, while lessening the stress on him.
What this meant was simply accepting his in-the-moment state of mind. Sharing things about our lives without expecting a response. Noticing things about the current moment that we found interesting or amusing. Sitting in silence.
While I understood this intellectually, practicing it was tough.
Shortly after learning this lesson, I was reminded of it again as mom's memory fell off a cliff and we struggled to know how to relate to her. I think a natural tendency is to want to stay connected by reminding a loved one of the happy times we shared, to be validated in some way for our presence, and certainly to be remembered by name. We long to restore what in many cases is permanently gone. Put simply, we want to hold them in our reality, fighting off the inevitability of theirs.
As I've reflected on this since the passing of both parents, I realize it is a process of letting go. Releasing the past, appreciating the here-and-now, and truly seeing the human with whom we are interacting is foreign to what we experience throughout life. We are taught to build and protect. To have and to hold. To preserve whatever goodness we find because it can be so fragile and fleeting. Yet, the tighter we hold onto the people we love, the less space we allow for them to change, mature, and yes, sometimes, to fade away.
As caregivers, we deal with stress, fatigue, disappointment and uncertainty. Our reality is paramount. We forget or simply don't know that our loved ones have moved on from what we remember into a time and a land we cannot fathom.
Ultimately, I think it's natural to want something of value for ourselves because we don't realize the gift of comfort and love we have the power to impart to others. When there is no way to change, fix or re-do life, the peace of acceptance is deeply healing.

Like many of Ornette Coleman's Atlantic sides, The Art of the Improvisers was recorded in numerous sessions from 1959-1961 and assembled for the purpose of creating a cohesive recorded statement.
Its opening track, "The Circle with the Hole in the Middle," from 1959, with the classic quartet of Don Cherry, Ed Blackwell, and Charlie Haden, is one of Coleman's recognizable pieces of music.
Essentially, the band is that quartet with two very notable exceptions: The last tracks on each side feature a different bass player.
On the end of side one, the great Scott LaFaro weighs in on "The Alchemy of Scott La Faro," and Jimmy Garrison weighs in on "Harlem's Manhattan" to close the album out.
These last two sessions were recorded early in 1961, in January and March respectively.
As an album, The Art of the Improvisers is usually undervalued when placed next to This Is Our Music or The Shape of Jazz to Come.
This is a mistake in that some of Coleman's most deeply lyrical harmonic structures reside here in tracks such as "Just for You," with literally stunning intervallic interplay between him and Cherry from the middle to the end.
The track also messes with standard blues form and comes up in a modal way without seemingly intending to.
The set roars into "The Fifth of Beethoven," which collapses a series of flatted fifths around Haden and Cherry, and Coleman goes on a Texas blues spree in his solo, dancing all around them.
"The Alchemy of Scott La Faro" must have pissed off the hard boppers like nothing else.
Here is a straining sprint that the quartet takes in stride as LaFaro and Blackwell charge around the edges in frightening time signatures.
Coleman and Cherry for the most part clamor around a B flat-C sharp major figure and run circles around each other in muscular fashion as LaFaro goes pizzicato to head with Coleman in the middle, turning the saxophonist's phrases into rhythmic structures which Blackwell accents as if cued.
But he's not; this is invented on the spot.
Coleman's deep lyricism shines through despite the tempo, and the entire thing goes out in a blaze of light.
"The Legend of Bebop" is a jazz history lesson with the band working out on the front line, quoting from Sidney Bechet and Louis Armstrong, moving through some Ellingtonian themes, and slipping around the corner to a slow, blued-out bebop before taking off in consonant solos and counterpoint.
"Harlem's Manhattan," with Garrison in Haden's bass chair, begins with a quote right from Parker and Gillespie before challenging the framework of the blues and its tempos.
Blackwell is a blur of the dance, his cymbal work against Garrison's punctuated accents make Coleman's and Cherry's jobs knotty and difficult, but always rooted in the melody that blues inspires.
This is basically one of Coleman's most uptempo records for Atlantic, but also one of his most soulful.
It deserves serious re-evaluation.

Tesla achieved record production and delivery of its vehicles in the third quarter of 2019.
In an October 2nd, 2019 report, the company revealed that it sold 96,155 vehicles and delivered approximately 97,000 vehicles in Q3.
Specifically, Tesla says it produced 16,318 Model S/X and 79,837 Model 3 vehicles and delivered 17,400 Model S/Xes and 79,600 Model 3s in Q3.
Further, Tesla says it received record net orders in Q3 and is entering Q4 with an increase in its order backlog. Notably, most of the Q3 Tesla 3 orders were from customers who had not placed a reservation, repeating a trend from Q2.
It's important to note that these milestones were revealed in their own report. Tesla says overall Q3 earnings are still to come.

Sequel to sporadic kidnapping, armed robbery and other forms of social vices along the Abuja-Kaduna highway, the Acting Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has deployed a detachment of 510 mobile police personnel to patrol the highway.
The Police boss also ordered his men to cut off the hands of any criminal element aiming gun at innocent citizens and officers of the Nigeria Police Force.
Flagging off the operation "Operation Maximum Safety on Kaduna-Abuja Highway," IGP Idris said the operation will end all forms of security threat witnessed on the highway.
To ensure the success of the operation, 40 patrol vehicles, Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) and other equipment have been handed over to policemen.
Speaking in Katari, Kaduna State, during the flag off of the operation, the IGP who was represented by the Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of Operations, Habila Joshak, said, "The IGP and the government have been worried and we are here today with this equipment to ensure that this operation is effective and an end is put to criminal activities.
"This is to demonstrate that the insecurity that we have been noticing with desperation of criminals that would organise themselves as marauding armed bearers, who stop and harm innocent citizens using this road, is put to a stop.
"Never again shall we allow any citizen using weapons along Abuja and Kaduna and any other axis that connects to this road to harass law abiding citizens. We want to make sure that people enter their homes at whatever time they please without fear or favour. We want to guarantee safety of the road users and we have the capacity to do that because our responsibility is to ensure that lives and properties of citizens of this country are safe."

Feeling the Strain from Working at Home?
By Jessica Lollino - April 22, 2020
Well, things are still pretty interesting aren?t they? As we move past two months of staying at home, it?s time to really talk about wellness and health. I bet you?ve run into many people who thought working from home was their ultimate dream, only to find that under these circumstances, with no time to prepare, it?s not quite what they bargained for, especially as it pertains to wellness. Let?s take a look at a few impacting factors that we may not think about as working from home becomes the new normal.
Unique challenges working from home brings:
More screen time and sitting in one position with an increase in both internal and external Zoom meetings and Google Hangouts
Home offices, or impromptu offices, likely don?t have the proper ergonomic set-up
?Hunched? posture from increased sitting
Less walking around the office to collaborate with colleagues or going off-site for client and vendor meetings
More stress, in general, being away from necessary tools and resources
Improper lighting, leading to eye tension and fatigue
When looking at these challenges separately, they may seem minor; however, they all incrementally add up each day, resulting in neck, shoulder, back, and hip tension, general pain, eye fatigue, tension headaches, hand and arm cramping, and an overall decrease in energy and an increase in stress.
How can you reduce the toll that working from home may be taking on your body? It's simple ? take a regular stretching class that you can do from the comfort of your home. It's a wonderful way to prioritize your health and wellness while adjusting to the current social-distancing and shelter-in-place mandates.
Some of the immediate benefits of stretching include:
Increased circulation of blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the body
, decreasing soreness and increasing overall body health. This is especially valuable for people with arthritis, carpal tunnel, and joint issues, which are especially prone during this time.
All the blood flow mentioned above also results in a regenerative feeling and a nice surge in energy levels
, helping you get through the rest of your day productively and with positivity.
Stretching reverses poor posture and encourages proper alignment
. This creates space in the vertebrae and muscles which leads to less pain and tension, especially in especially vulnerable areas like the neck, shoulders, and back when sitting in front of a computer all day.
Stretching reduces tension headaches
. Taking time to create space in the neck and shoulders, key places where tension can cause these headaches, reduces the likelihood of them occurring. Also, stretching encourages facial movement and an overall reduction in stress through breathing exercises and muscle release.
Stretching calms and refreshes the mind
. Stretching releases synovial fluid, which is not only what makes our joints ?bouncy,? but it also lets off a pleasant tingling feeling which signals our body to relax.
The beauty of stretching is it can be done from anywhere, requires no equipment, and the dress code is simply to wear what you can move in ? no lululemon required.
The most important element of a stretching session is an experienced instructor. While stretching seems like an easy practice we instinctively know how to do, an instructor ensures it is done safely and can offer modifications to help every student reap maximum benefit, no matter what is going on in their body. They can also provide tips on how to reduce stress and stretch when away from class to maintain and extend the many benefits of stretching.
Drop-in to one of our four daily classes to bring a little piece of wellness to your day with our Virtual Stretching Classes. It?s a short 25 minutes with a big impact!

The Victim-Offender Mediation and Reparation Program in Catalonia
(Translation of Abstract: M. Lourdes Fernandez Manzano - Spanish version)
Montserrat Martinez
The Victim-Offender Mediaton and Reparation Program began as a pilot project in 1998 with the goal of extending to the adult population the positive mediation experience that was being carried out with minors. Since then, the program has evolved and grown as part of a legal system that, although doesn't explicitly regulate any practice of restorative justice itself, it provides several possibilities for recognizing legal purposes to repair the damage to victims by offenders, both in the pre-trial stage and in the post-sentencing stage.
Since then, the program has evolved and grown as part of a legal system that, while doesn't explicitly regulate any practice of restorative justice itself, it provides several possibilities for recognizing legal purposes to repair the damage to victims by offenders, both in the pre-trial phase and in the post-sentencing phase.
The data reveals an increase in requests for victim-offender mediation (VOM) from year to year but also shows that in the post-sentencing level victims and offenders have significantly lower access to VOM than those whose cases are in a pre-sentencing phase.
In this context, the Justice Department, and particularly the Area of Reparation and Victim Support, has maintained a firm commitment to strengthen the program and to expand its scope. This, in addition to the extended experience and collaboration of professionals in prisons, led to the development of two referral protocols for two prisons: CPJoves and CP Ponent. Since being initiated, the amount of referred cases has permitted an initial assessment of the elements that can have a key impact on the viability of the VOM process in the post-sentencing stage.
A pilot project for cases in which offenders are serving a prison sentence has been elaborated as a consequence of the 2012/29/UE DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 25 October 2012, that establishes minimum standards for the rights, support and protection of victims of crime, replacing the Framework Decision 2001/220/JHA and Council, and in the framework of the "Restorative Justice at Post Sentencing Level, Supporting and Protecting Victims", co-financed by the European Union and led by the organization "Schleswig-Holstein German Association for Social Responsibility in Criminal Justice, and Victim-Offender Treatment". This pioneering initiative in Spain collects reflections of mediators and involves rethinking some aspects of the practice of VOM in order to be able to provide more appropriate care for victims and offenders in a post-sentencing phase.
Montserrat Maria Martinez i Camps has a law degree from UAB. She has worked as a mediator of the Victim-Offender Mediation and Reparation Program in the Justice Department of Catalonia since 2000. She was the coordinator of this Program from 2007 to 2010. Montserrat Maria Martinez i Camps has also practiced as a lawyer and participates as a speaker at conferences and workshops both nationally and internationally. Moreover, she collaborates as a trainer in different masters and graduate programs in national universities.


text: A Comparison of Inactivation of Bacteriophage and Enterovirus During Activated Sludge Treatment Type: Technical Report Date Published: September 1976 Authors: Glass, J.S. O'Brien, R.T. Abstract: Inactivation of indigenous bacteriophages was followed during extended aeration activated sludge treatment of domestic sewage. Also, a bacteriophage was isolated from the sewage and used to follow the inactivation of phages contained inside a dialysis membrane chamber immersed in an activated sludge aeration reactor. Finally, inactivation of Poliovirus T-1 and Coxsackievirus B-1 contained inside immersed membrane chambers were followed. Statistical comparisons showed no detectable difference between phage inactivation rate constants measured in the aeration reactors and in immersed membrane chambers. No significant differences were detected between inactivation rate constants for Poliovirus T-1 and Coxsackievirus B-1. Finally, no significant differences were detected between inactivation rate constants for phage and enteroviruses inside immersed membrane chambers. The results suggest that immersed dialysis membrane chambers may provide an accurate, reliable method for measuring virus inactivation during activated sludge treatment, and that bacteriophages may provide a convenient indicator system for virus inactivation during this process.

Trofi Introduces Its Innovative Structured Product Solutions for Users
How to Earn Safely with Trofi Now That all Earn Platforms are in a Fix

(YorkPedia Editorial):- New York City, New York Jul 18, 2022 (Issuewire.com) – Trofi is proud to announce its innovative Structured Product solutions for its users. Many platforms offering financial services like crypto lending and staking are going through a rough patch. There is an overwhelming air of skepticism around companies in the crypto finance niche, and trustworthiness is at an all-time low. Recently, some giants offering crypto-financial services acquired massive debt, others suspended withdrawal (became insolvent), and all these further scared away investors.
Trofi offers similar services, and that begs the question, 'how can investors trust Trofi with their investments, seeing that they offer the same services?'
How Trofi Manages Investments and Maintains Sound Liquidity
The general practice of crypto finance platforms is lending depositors' funds to other users or reusing them in higher risk levels of investments.
Against the run of things, Trofi does not randomly put the deposits of its users to some random Defi platform or lend to other counterparties without collateral. Instead, Trofi focuses on offering customers to generate their yield through Earn+, which is a structured product the company offers. With Earn+, investors only bear the market risks they are aware of and also maximize their gains.
"We won't put your deposit to some iffy Defi or lend to random counterparties. Customers generate yields in buy-low Earn+ by selling an option and taking only the agreed risk and none other' said Trofi co-founder Andrew Lam, a crypto portfolio manager and an experienced banking professional who previously worked at HSBC New York and Hong Kong as an Options Trader, managing FX options risk for the Bank.
Lam further added, "we are the first platform to offer 20 cryptocurrencies on Earn+, and we have traded the first Earn+ on WAVES token in the market, where clients earned 800% APY."
In the most recent interview, it was also noted by Lam that Trofi had seen a surge in the number of people signing up for Earn+, so much that it is currently their most popular product." This doesn't come as a shock," he said. "Considering the current trust deficit in the market and crumble of competitor platforms, it was expected that people would jump ship to a platform they can trust."
TroFi Earn+ takes advantage of market volatility to provide yield for users by selling options transparently. So far, neither defaults in repayment, accumulated debts, nor insolvency have been recorded against the platform.
How Buy-Low Earn+ Works
A user holding stablecoins who is willing to buy crypto assets at a lower-than-current-market price choose Buy-Low Earn+. This investment product allows him to earn higher yields than the regular earning rates.
Next, a strike price lower than the current market price of the underlying asset is agreed upon. On the maturity date, if the price is above or equal to the strike price, the user's returns are calculated in the stablecoin with APR. If the market price is below the strike price, the stablecoin and APR are converted to the underlying crypto asset.
About Trofi
Trofi is a financial services platform that provides industry-leading products and services that enable users to swap their crypto assets, collect daily interest, and access various types of crypto-structured products.
Trofi is registered as a US Money Services Business under US law (MSB) and adheres to all Know Your Client (KYC) requirements and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) legislation and standards.
Trofi offers innovative risk management solutions to enable its users to understand their risk exposure, potential risk, and benefits. For more information on Trofi, visit https://trofi.group/.

Clement Joseph "Joe" Milanzi was born in Milan, Italy in 1974. He grew up in Sicily and his earliest memories about cooking were of times he spent with his grandmother Rebecca. Joe immigrated to the United States in 1996 and he began working in the restaurant industry shortly after that, with the goal of someday owning his own Italian restaurant.
Joe went to work for Macaroni Grill in Montgomery, Alabama in 1999, where he began as a Sous Chef, then quickly advanced to become their Executive Chef. In 2002 he became Executive Chef for Olive Garden, also in Montgomery. In 2003, Joe moved to the Knoxville area, where he became Executive Chef for Carrabas. In 2007, Joe and his wife Munaa Bawazir began selling fast food at the Sweetwater TN Flea Market. They had a very limited kitchen there, but they were getting closer to owning their own restaurant.
In 2009, the first "Joe's Italian Cuisine" opened in Athens, TN. After a very successful first year, tragedy struck. A fire in the office area caused sufficient smoke damage to effectively close the restaurant. It was at this point that Joe's friendship with "Mr. Barry" began to blossom. Barry & Monica Cochran had eaten at Joe's and had begun a friendship, but the circumstances surrounding the fire were destined to strengthen that friendship.
It was also during this time period that Joe and his wife Munaa became official US Citizens, with the ceremony being held in Chattanooga, TN in 2010.Joe needed a place to temporarily store his restaurant equipment until he could relocate. The Cochrans were attending the "Warehouse Church" in Etowah, who graciously offered to allow Joe to use some of their unused warehouse space. Within months, Joe had relocated to the old Zesto's Ice Cream Shop in Athens, and by early 2011 the new location was successfully in operation.
Joe and Munaa ran their Athens location through 2018, when a new location was opened in Lenoir City. A larger and more elegant Joe's, the Lenoir City location prospered and grew quickly. In late 2018, the decision was made to close the Athens location and focus exclusively on business in Lenoir City. Then, in early 2021 a new location was added in Maryville.
Anyone who has eaten at Joe's Italian Cuisine knows that the best thing about eating there…is Joe! Joe is a people person and tries to visit with each customer personally whenever he can. Joe speaks five languages including his native Italian, Arabic, Swahili, limited Spanish and of course…English!
Joe says that his own personal favorite from his offerings is "Pasta Joe," which comes from one of his grandmother Rebecca's own recipes. I agree with Joe, "Pasta Joe" is my own personal favorite as well!

If you were anywhere near Lake George or Lake Champlain this weekend you saw (and heard) the motorcycles, motorcycles, motorcycles. This Americade in Essex, NY video clip reminds us of what a perfect weekend our two wheeled friends enjoyed despite the threats of rain and thunderstorms.
"I can't understand why you like motorcycles," my bride said to me on Sunday after yet another pack of growling Americade bikers thundered past our house.
According to the Americade website this thirty year old Lake George, New York event "is the world's largest motorcycle touring rally." How big?
Americade… draws about 50,000 people to the southeast Adirondacks, many of them using the I-87 corridor in the days leading up to events that peak over the weekend. (WSJ.com)
I'm yet to hear a consensus on how many people participated this year, but the organizer's website boasts 50,000-100,000 participants annually. Although Essex experiences a fraction of those riders, our otherwise quiet town is transformed with the steady stream of motorcyclists streaming through. The Essex-Charlotte ferry is an important interstate artery for riders who stream in from all over the Northeast. And NYS Route 22 offers a scenic, winding alternative to highway travel which seems to appeal primarily to Canadian riders on their way to and from the Lake George motorcycle roundup.
Americade is a gathering of friendly, fun-loving folks, for whom motorcycling is a social hobby, but not some form of rebellion. It's NOT the place for shows of speed, hostile attitudes, or illegally loud motorcycles. Americade supports the AMA position that "Loud Pipes Risk Rights." (Americade website)
Despite this noble mission, hundreds of motorcycles rolling past inevitably trigger seismic responses. My bride's reaction is far from unique, and yet many others enjoy the change in Essex visitors. The Old Dock Restaurant and the Essex Ice Cream Cafe were notable hotspots for the bikers this weekend, and despite my misgivings for bikers who rev their engines as they pull onto the ferry like juvenile lions jostling for pack leader, I have a soft spot for motorcycles and motorcyclists. I owned several bikes in my twenties, and if I hadn't nearly killed myself on one, I'd probably still be riding. Many are the spring and fall days that I catch myself leaning into my steering wheel on an empty Champlain Valley road, swaying rhythmically side-to-side through the curves and reliving my two wheeled fantasies.
There are few more liberating experiences than meandering breathtaking countryside on a motorcycle. And I suspect that Americade's touring bikers offer a welcome uptick for seasonal businesses.
"It's the best week of the year," said William Citarella, manager of Monte Cristo's Restaurant. "Without Americade, all of us business operators would be lost. This is great for our region.. If we were to lose this, the percentages would go down so much, it would be impossible to cover our overhead and pay for our staff," he said. (FOX23 News)
Although the impact may be less critical for Essex businesses, the increased traffic at some venues is clear. Nevertheless, throttle blasts and high RPM motorcycle screams aren't the most direct path to a warm welcome.
Lake George resident Carol Longman, one of the organizers, said… "A lot of people object to the noise, but the people who come here are nice. They stay here and shop here and eat here…" (PostStar.com)
Noise, especially of the thunderous variety, is a predictably tough sell, but beautiful bikes (and bikers) purring under bluebird skies along the shores of our Adirondack lakes? Well, that's another matter altogether!
Though I haven't succeeded in convincing my bride of these motorcycle aesthetics, I do remind her that the environmental impact of producing and operating a motorcycle is a fraction of its four wheeled cousin. And in a region which struggles with the limitations of a seasonal economy, Americade may prove more friend than foe even to those who lament testosterone-fueled decibel infractions. What's your opinion on Americade?

Exercise on a budget: How to work out at home without fancy gym equipment
Socks? Check. Towel? Check. Some water bottles? Check. Here are eight easy-to-follow routines perfect for building strength at home.
Think adapting your hardcore gym workouts to fit your WFH routine is a headache? It's easier than you think.
There are plenty of objects around your home that can easily help you to stay fit, whether it's a sock, a towel, your favourite bag or luggage, said Dawn Sim, co-founder and head teacher at Trium Fitness.
But there are a few things you still need to do, of course. Wearing the right exercise clothes makes a big difference to your session, even if it's a home workout, she told CNA Lifestyle.
READ: Keep fit and earn S$380: We tried the LumiHealth app on our Apple Watch
"Also track your workouts to monitor your progress," said Sim. "I love using Apple Watch for this because it's always on my wrist and tracks my workouts accurately. And make exercise a priority instead of a convenience. Put your workout sessions in your calendar to get reminders and find a support network of friends or interest groups to encourage one another to keep you going."
She added: "Remember to hydrate yourself well before exercise too so as to avoid early fatigue and cramps. There is a WaterMinder app for this."
Sim also recommended including a belly and chest breathing exercise in your regime, which can be done either standing up or lying down on your back.
"Place one hand on your chest and one hand on your belly. Close your eyes so it's easier to focus on your breathing and make sure you feel the belly and chest rise and fall with each breath," she explained. "A good tip? You can use the Breathe app on the Apple Watch to guide you through. Start by practising your breathing for one minute and then turn, then gradually lengthen the duration over time. This will calm your mind and body."
All set? Here are Sim's favourite workout-from-home routines where you can build strength and challenge yourself using simple home hacks. No fancy exercise equipment required.

Why: It's great for working the core and getting the heart rate up.
What to do:
1. Try to keep your torso stable while sliding the legs back and forth.
2. Remember to keep the hands beneath the shoulders and press strongly into the mat to keep the shoulders stabilised.
3. Do 30 repetitions on each leg or as many as you can within 45 to 60 seconds.
Expert tip: If you have wrist discomfort, do go on your forearms instead. But lift the hips up higher to do this movement.
Why: This pull down exercise works to strengthen several back muscles, as well as to stretch the chest and the front shoulders. It is perfect for countering the long hours of sitting when working from home. The addition of the alternate leg raises help to work the core as well as the quads (front of thighs).
What to do:
1. Keep the towel taut as you pull it back and down behind you.
2. Avoid sticking your head forwards.
3. Aim to broaden across the chest.
4. Do 10 repetitions.
Expert tip: Keep the arms wider apart for those with tighter chest and shoulders. And bring them slightly closer as you get better with the exercise.
Why: It's great for toning the thighs and buttocks. This is also a great stretch for the hip flexors after staying seated for hours at the desk.
What to do:
1. Keep the torso upright and abs engaged as you slide back and forth on one foot.
2. Keep both knees bent when you slide to the front to ensure that the glutes get a great work-out.
3. Do 10 to 15 repetitions on each side.
Expert tip: Hold onto the wall or chair for help with balancing.
Why: This is a great core workout but proceed with caution for those with shoulder issues.
What to do:
1. Begin by trying a smaller movement out and keeping hands and knees shoulder-width apart.
2. Slide forwards and back which keeping shoulders stable.
3. Work up to 10 repetitions.
Expert tip: Make sure you start with a small movement to test your limit first. And do ensure that your shoulders are stable as you slide out and in.
Why: A great core exercise that works on all the abdominal muscles and arms at the same time.
What to do:
1. Fill up two one-litre water bottles.
2. Sit with your knees bent and holding onto the water bottles, engage your core and lean your torso back slightly to float both legs up.
3. Twist from side to side from your waist instead of just moving your arms from one side to the other.
4. Do 15 repetitions on each side.
5. Make it easier by keeping both feet down and only twisting from the waist up.
Expert tip: Make sure you're not tensing up your shoulders while holding the weights. Keep the arms straight and extended while holding the weights to make it more challenging.
READ: Simple tweaks to your routine at home and the office can help ease your back pain
Why: It stretches the chest, upper back, neck, fingers, wrists and forearms while encouraging deeper breathing.
What to do:
1. This movement can be done seated on the floor or a chair. This counters the effects of sitting at a desk for hours.
2. While crunching in a seated position, interlace your fingers in front of you with your palms facing you.
3. Turn your palms forwards as you extend both arms up towards the ceiling, then turn from your wrists to have palms facing you as you return back to crunching.
4. Repeat 10 times.
Expert tip: Do look up as the arms reach up, taking note to drop the head backwards as you look up. Then tuck your chin in towards the chest as you lower your arms – this raises the effectiveness of the stretch to the neck.
Why: This is a great way to ramp up the heart rate and get a great cardio and strength workout.
What to do:
1. Fill up your bag with enough weight. Having at least two entirely filled water bottles (or at least two kilos) inside the bag is a good start.
2. Stand with your feet wider than your hip-width and start by swinging the bag backwards between your legs as you squat.
3. As you come back up to a stand, swing the bag forwards till your arms are at least shoulder height. Feel free to go higher and bring your bag overhead so as not to get whacked in the face.
4. Make sure the handles of the bag you choose are not too long.
5. Do 30 repetitions.
Expert tip: Sit your buttocks backwards and down to ensure that you're working your glutes instead of your knees jutting forward. And of course, for your own safety, use a bag with sturdy handles.
Why: This movement strengthens the back, biceps and shoulders. Do take extra caution for those with existing shoulder issues.
What to do:
1. Using luggage allows you to load up more weight for stronger individuals. Ladies who are looking for a lighter load may choose to use their everyday bags instead.
2. Stand upright with feet shoulder-width apart for stability and keep your back straight while engaging your core (abs, backs, hips, buttocks, thighs).
3. On the exhale, pull the luggage/bag up towards your collarbone. Inhale as you lower.
4. Do 12 to 15 repetitions.
Expert tip: As you inhale, lower your back down with control instead of simply dropping. This ensures the muscles work on the eccentric phase and protect the joints.

583437-B21 500-Watts Non-Hot Plug Power Supply for Dl120 G6 by HP
583437-B21 General Information:
Product type: Power Supply
Wattage : 500 WATT
583437-B21 Compatibility:
Dl120 G6
583437-B21 power supply. Also called a power supply unit or PSU, the component that supplies power to a computer or servers. Most personal computers can be plugged into standard electrical outlets. The power supply then pulls the required amount of electricity and converts the AC current to DC current. There are 3 types of power supply in common use: AT Power Supply - used in very old PCs. ATX Power Supply - still used in some PCs. ATX-2 Power Supply - commonly in use today. In a personal computer (PC), the power supply is the metal box usually found in a corner of the case. The power supply is visible from the back of many systems because it contains the power-cord receptacle and the cooling fan. All household power outlets and most generators supply AC power. AC never has a polarity, so you would never see + and - marked at... If you're given a power source without any markings on it, take a DC voltmeter and connect it to the voltage source. If there's a deflection, the source is DC, otherwise it's AC. 583437-B21 powersupply

Wines under cork rated higher in blind taste test – Most winemakers know that natural cork can make their wine taste better.

Convincing the U.S. Congress to pass the Korea-U.S. free trade agreement (KORUS FTA) as soon as possible is the main priority of the American Chamber of Commerce Korea (AMCHAM), according to its new chairman Frank Little.
``It was very encouraging yesterday that the final text of the FTA was agreed upon and that U.S. President Barack Obama chose to mention Korea specifically… We think it is important to get it passed and we're making sure Korea is first in line," Little said, in a press conference at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, southern Seoul, Thursday.
This comes a day after Obama's State of the Union address where he said the free trade agreement with Korea enjoyed "unprecedented support" from the Democrats and Republicans, as well as business and labor sectors.
"We will work together closely to ensure the leaders of both countries understand the importance of the agreement to our respective economies, as well as to our bilateral alliance and urgent need to get it ratified as soon as possible," Little said.
The KORUS FTA was signed in June 2007, but faced opposition due to contentious issues related to beef and automobile imports. However, the two parties reached a final agreement last December, with Korea acquiescing to U.S. demands on automobile imports.
AMCHAM leaders will go to Washington, D.C. in early spring where they will meet with key U.S. administrative officials and members of Congress to push for the KORUS FTA.
"We will travel to Washington, D.C., as many times this year as it takes to get this agreement passed," Little added.
AMCHAM is also planning to host U.S. congressional delegations in Korea to show them the benefits of the FTA, and work with business groups to raise awareness of Korea and the FTA's benefits among Americans.
"We expect more senior level administration officials and Congress members to come here. We're looking forward to showing them just how dynamic Korea is and how many opportunities there are for Korea and U.S. businesses," AMCHAM president Amy Jackson said.
Seoul and Washington have finalized the text of the FTA, and is expected to officially sign the document by the middle of February.
Korea and the U.S. agreed to delay the tariff cuts for automobiles. Revisions include the U.S. eliminating a 2.5 percent tariff on Korean cars within 4 years instead of 3 years as previously agreed; and Korea slashing the 8 percent tariff on U.S. car imports to 4 percent, instead of immediately eliminating it.
Aside from the KORUS FTA, AMCHAM is also focusing efforts on expanding new cooperation between American and Korean firms, in areas such as healthcare, and energy and green growth.
Little, who is also president and managing director of 3M Korea, declined to comment on the long-standing labor problems that has been plaguing 3M's operations in Korea.
However, Little did say that these illegal and violent strikes in Korea are a continued source of concern for foreign businessmen.
"In general, labor issues including the use of illegal, and sometimes violent, strikes continue to be an issue for AMCHAM and other foreign chambers in Korea. These images are broadcast around the world and paint a very negative image of Korea... But we're committed to working with the government to improve the labor environment and make this a better place to invest," he said.

10 Motivating Time Management Quotes for the Home Office: Get Inspired Now!
Time Management
You are not going to believe all the time management quotes we analyzed for you. We violated the advice of several of them in the process, but in the end found 10 incredibly inspiring quotes about time management.
If we had time, we'd print out and hang every single one of these quotes in the home office.
Image credit: iotdfi at sxc.hu.
While we are postponing, life speeds by. ~ Seneca
Don't procrastinate.
Indeed, let's get the obvious out of the way. There is so much wisdom, so many quotes in this vein. Benjamin Franklin was huge, huge about time management and procrastination, so much so that most of his quotes are familiar to us as proverbs. Seneca gives us a new twist to think about regarding procrastination. Procrastination is a sort of laser-focused concentration: you devote vast resources of unconscious energy into not doing something. So much energy, even, that we might not even notice opportunities passing by.
Seneca's relevance today? Procrastination-goaders like Facebook, Twitter, texting, and Internet forums make us feel we're involved in life while in reality, life is speeding by around us. Try to limit social networking to only what's necessary—and be honest with yourself about what's necessary!
I don't think of the past. The only thing that matters is the everlasting present. ~ W. Somerset Maugham
You procrastinated anyway. Now get over it.
It was either this lovely Maugham quote or a practical quote, one of disputed origin by either Carl Sandburg or Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Maugham won out because, well, just read it. Wow. It's so applicable to all areas of life, not only time management, but also so very perfect for reminding us to seize the moment.
Working alone in a home office, it's easy to get bogged down thinking about the past. Perhaps yesterday there was a client problem. Maybe for the past month business has been slow. There are probably nagging thoughts about past experiences in your home office that influence how you still work even today.
This quote reminds us that the past is gone and the present is everlasting. Every moment is a clean slate, a new opportunity.
He does not seem to me to be a free man who does not sometimes do nothing. ~ Cicero
Take time to chill out.
Even in Cicero's time, people knew that working all the time was bad for you, enslaved you. Carve out some free time daily from your home office schedule.
To do two things at once is to do neither. ~ Publilius Syrus
Multitasking is bad.
To go a step further, multitasking is terrible. It's distracting, disrupts brain patterns, makes it harder to concentrate, and as Syrus pointed out in the first century BC, multitasking leads to poorer quality on both things being worked on in the end.
Better three hours too soon, than one minute too late. ~ William Shakespeare
Be punctual.
The greatest perk of most home office workers is setting their own hours. However, impressions still count when dealing with clients or the public, and Shakespeare reminds us of how being even a minute late for a meeting can leave a bad impression.
Read on to the next page for more time management quotes.
He that rises late must trot all day. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Get up early.
Included because it's a less-familiar Franklin quote, yet so pithy it should be more so. Who hasn't overslept and then spent all day feeling like they were playing catch-up? Remembering the consequences of poor scheduling may remind you of the benefits of rising early to tackle work in the home office.
Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. ~ C. Northcote Parkinson
Time fills the space allotted.
The lesson for home office workers? Set or get deadlines. When clients waffle on due dates for work, press them or suggest deadlines yourself. The same goes for internal projects for your business. Without deadlines, projects will go on forever.
What may be done at any time will be done at no time. ~ Scottish Proverb
If you want something done, give it to a busy person to do.
This one is closely related to the one above, but reminded me of busy people vs. non-busy people. Give a task to someone who has leisure time, and it likely won't get done. Give it to someone busily working through tasks, and they'll fit it in effortlessly (but likely with some pointed grumbling). Try fitting in the most onerous tasks into a busy day, so you can complete them without having to think about how annoying they are.
I recommend to you to take care of the minutes; for hours will take care of themselves. ~ Lord Chesterfield
Don't worry about the big picture.
Break big jobs down into little ones, and the big job will, as Lord Chesterfield says, take care of itself.
It's not enough to be busy; so are the ants. The question is, what are we busy about? ~ Henry David Thoreau
Don't do makework or busywork.
Make sure all the work you do, you do for a reason.
These time management quotes, spanning the eons from thousands of years ago to the last century, show that managing time has always been a human problem. We're inclined to disarray; to distraction and worry, but the quotes here are intended as tools to stop those in their tracks. Read them, memorize them, and they will motivate and inspire you not just to higher productivity, but more happiness in the home office and life as well.
