I have a case where I applied for a tenure-track position in a R1 research institution. A month after the application, all my references were contacted and were asked for a telephone interview, which I got to know from all my references. This was a good sign and I expected the committee to contact me soon (in about a month after the interviews). Now it's been two and a half months since they interviewed my references but no contact yet. I am not sure what is going on and how should I deal with this. Should I email them asking about the status of the application?
It's more than 8 months after my first application for this position. Significant changes happened to my CV to bolster my application. I had no hopes, but I dropped an email saying that this is my updated CV, please update in your records in case they are still reviewing.
The programme manager updated my CV in the application replied that the review is still undergoing and they have yet to finalize applicants.
Any idea what might be going on?

MISSISSAUGA – The Air Canada Pilots Association (ACPA) today received the final Accident Investigation Report completed by Canada's Transportation Safety Board (TSB) regarding flight AC624 on March 29, 2015 at Halifax's Stanfield International Airport. The Association represents the more than 3,500 pilots of Air Canada and Air Canada rouge. ACPA's Chair of the Master Elected Council, Captain Kevin Vaillant, and Chief Executive Officer, Milt Isaacs, issued the following joint statement on behalf of the Association's members:
On behalf of our members, we thank the Transportation Safety Board for their important work on this report and in advancing safety for Canadians.
The primary mission of every ACPA pilot – every single day – is the safety and security of passengers, crew members, aircraft and the public.
The TSB investigation identified that the pilots involved followed Air Canada's Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), including with respect to non-precision approaches.
Prior to the release of this Final Report, several safety measures and operational improvements have been implemented – including improved lighting and navigation systems at Halifax's Stanfield International Airport, which ACPA supports.
Ground-based navigation systems in Canada
ACPA strongly advocates for all major airports to have the necessary equipment to offer both lateral and vertical guidance and high intensity lighting to allow pilots to orient aircraft for landing.
Many runways at Canada's largest airports lack the ground-based navigation systems which provide vertical guidance – that is, the distance between the aircraft and the ground – to orient an aircraft for landing.
While satellite-based navigation systems may be increasingly available, not all commercial passenger aircraft operating in Canada today have the capability to access these satellite-based navigation systems.
Access to ground-based instrument landing systems (ILS) technology – which typically includes a required level of lighting systems – would reduce the risk of approach and landing incidents, especially in conditions of low visibility and during night operations at airports with limited approach and runway lighting systems.
The Air Canada Pilots Association looks forward to working with other stakeholders, including Transport Canada, to improve safety at Canada's airports.
The Air Canada Pilots Association is the professional pilot group that represents more than 3,500 pilots who fly millions of passengers across Canada and around the world on Air Canada and Air Canada rouge.
ACPA is a leader in advocating for safety and security for our members in the aviation community, monitoring developments around the world and pursuing improvements and enhancements wherever appropriate or necessary.

The first impression is the last impression. That goes extra move, how we need to define a character in the entire movie. Here are 7 best opening shots to introduce a character.
1) Indiana Jones from "Raiders of the Lost Ark"
This sequence is pure genius . One of the most classic examples is what we like to call the introduction by parts, we see their hands, their feet, their clothes, their morning routine, everything other than their face. It builds out a small suspense for our mystery hero before he is introduced.
2) John Doe from "Seven"
Seven is 95 minutes into 120 minutes. In 95 minutes you haven't seen Kevin Spacey, he basically gave the studio ultimatum that he'd only do it if they didn't give him top billing and then when completely Ninja on the press.
3) Tucco "The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly"
Tucco is a drunk man, armed creative any massive balloon combined and almost too hilarious.
4) Kamebei from "Seven Samurai"
Kamebei humbly cutting off his top, not in order to pose as a peasant to rescue a young boy from Seven Samurai. This movie is the original example of the now pervasive tradition of the action hero.
5) James Bond from "Dr. No"
This a classic instance where spectatorship theory comes in handy to see the gender difference. How Bond does the looking while we look Lisa in the James Bond. James Bond is shown effortlessly cool while Lisa has to fall in Love.
6) Fritz Lang from "The Murderer M"
He shows up as a shadow over a wanted poster for himself. We don't see him but he's introduced in the vilest, simplest, serious way possible. A bouncing all, the dialogue between the cut to her mother.
7) Sharif Ali from "Lawrence of Arabia"
Rendering the wide expanse of the desert as claustrophobic as a coffin. Iconic cinematography has him emerging as if from a mirage, shimmering in the heat of the distance and creeping closer.

text: Watch this as a webinar! Visit http://www.ccohs.ca/products/webinars/prevent_msd/ Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) represent 43% of all WSIB lost time injuries in Ontario. And in fact, most provincial jurisdictions in Canada report similar findings. Given that MSD hazards exist in workplaces, recognition and control of them must be an integral part of a workplace's health and safety system. However, all too often, because of the subtle and cumulative nature of these hazards, they do not receive the attention necessary to motivate action. This free webinar will discuss how Ontario's health and safety system has engaged its partners to coordinate their efforts to implement an MSD prevention strategy that includes access to prevention resources such as the MSD Prevention Guideline for Ontario and sector specific materials, integration into WSIB prevention services and enforcement by the Ministry of Labour. Although the session will focus on Ontario's experience at enforcing MSD hazards through its health and safety legislation, anyone with an interest in preventing musculoskeletal hazards in the workplace will gain an understanding of the vast array of MSD prevention resources that are available. Anne Duffy is the Provincial Ergonomist for the Ontario Ministry of Labour. She has over 25 years of experience dealing with health and safety in the workplace. She is a Canadian Certified Professional Ergonomist. As the MOL's Provincial Ergonomist, Anne is the senior Ministry expert on ergonomics within the Operations Division of the Ministry. In this capacity, Anne acts as a resource to Ministry staff, communicates with stakeholders and is a partner in ongoing provincial health and safety initiatives.

During the height of the Ferguson uprising in 2014, activist Montague Simmons spoke passionately before thousands of demonstrators protesting the killing of Michael Brown and the systemic racism that allowed his death to happen with impunity.
"We have to show them that the cost is too high," Simmons said.
He was absolutely right.
Yet while making an ethical case for equity is valid, another argument is more likely to resonate and garner the attention necessary to encourage systemic change from the powers that be: the economic cost of racism.
The data shows that the economic cost literally is too high to continue racial inequity against Black people and the nation's self-interest. The financial toll is far-reaching and impacts every American citizen, regardless of their ethnicity.
The moral expense of racism should be sufficient to upend the current power structures from their historical practices. But ours is a nation with power and wealth built on the foundation of unspeakable horrors involving people being sold as property and dehumanized in every way imaginable for centuries. And the current attempt at reconciliation for these crimes against Black Americans is to simply erase them from history books.
But systemic racism in the United States is not something in the distant past. It remains deeply embedded in the DNA of this nation. Granted, there have been some more progressive responses to these challenges in different regions of the country in recent years — particularly the death of Black people by police.
Slavery itself and the persistence of its successive forms of systemic racism make it clear that for many, the moral fabric of America is an afterthought when the bottom line is involved. If we see chattel slavery in this country as part of larger class interests, we can better understand the ideas, ideologies, and institutions that undergird ongoing systemic racism.
Slavery in this country was monstrous and evil. But we must also understand that simply addressing the current manifestations of systemic racism as a moral imperative — no matter how important that is — will be futile if we cannot also make a convincing economic case for ending racial injustice.
The evidence is compelling and speaks for itself.
A study released by Citi in September 2020 concluded that $16 trillion was erased from the U.S. gross domestic product over the previous 20 years due to racial discrimination in education, housing, wages, and business investments.
"Racial inequality has always had an outsized cost, one that was thought to be paid only by underrepresented groups," said Citi vice chairman and report co-author Raymond McGuire. "What this report underscores is that this tariff is levied on us all."
While the United States has always been a de facto multiracial country, it has never been a true democracy. The U.S. has always failed to address the harm done by its original sin — the enslavement of Black people — and its varied forms of ongoing racial discrimination despite its declared abolition after the Civil War. It has been Black Americans who have endured, and continue to endure, the brunt of this brutal, inhumane legacy.
The population of Black America currently exceeds 50 million. Yet it remains a largely untapped resource for the country due to systemic barriers that prevent the realization of our full potential as a community. We are a fertile ground for greater innovation and excellence. But the nation has opted out of leaning more fully into the Black community so that the entire nation could reap from the harvest Black Americans would provide if given the opportunity.
Instead, the country smothers our fertile soil with concrete — maintaining roadblocks that undermine the contributions Black America could make in helping reverse our nation's diminishing status as a world superpower.
In addition, a more recent study — a 2021 analysis by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco — showed that racial and ethnic inequalities have cost the United States $51 trillion in lost output since 1990. This study cited persistent gaps in rates of employment, education, and earnings as the key drivers — and confirmed that these persistent gaps add up to a smaller economic pie for the nation as a whole.
The wealth of a nation was cited as justification for the morally bankrupt policies that kept Black people enslaved for centuries and denied basic human rights for more than 150 years after our alleged emancipation.
In his commentary "Slavery Was About Profit," New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie wrote, "The point I want to make is that we should not think of the slave system or the slave trade as somehow about racism and hatred. It was about profit. That's why — and how — it lasted so long." That same priority can be a powerful, sustainable determinant to help make America a place with greater access, opportunity, and equity for all. The cost of the failure to act is too high — and is a threat to the nation's future in the increasingly competitive global economy.

By 1887, Sexton closed his 4 Chicago retail areas to focus on his institutional customers. By 1891, Sexton started manufacturing private label pickles, salad dressings, preserves, and jellies in addition to roasting coffee in downtown Chicago. In addition, Sexton established a food testing laboratory to ensure that his merchandise had a uniform excessive degree of high quality.

Didi announced on Monday it is cooperating with the American education startup Udacity to hold an algorithm contest this May aiming to recruit talent on a worldwide scale to develop Didi's competitiveness in machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI).
The president of Didi Research, He Xiaofei, said that contestants will have access to Didi's latest transit data in several selected cities to develop an algorithm that predicts supply and demand for transportation. The champion will be offered USD 100,000, and the best performers will be invited to join Didi.
Didi Research, as the "brain" of Didi Chuxing, is now focused on projects including accurate ETA, dynamic pricing, car-pooling, predicting supply and demand and transport capacity dispatching, all being equally important, He told AllChinaTech.
He said that the projects have been integrated in the past three months, and the whole system is now working on defining dynamic prices, optimizing the matching of drivers and orders, predicting supply and demand and dispatching before the orders are placed. "Our goal is not merely to avoid traffic jams," said He. "We work to prevent traffic jams."
Didi's advantage lies in its huge pool of transit data with 50TB of real-time data and 9 billion times' route plans per day. Analyzing big data can facilitate machine learning, which in turn will help with the cloud computing that makes Didi's intelligent transit decisions. With achievements made by Didi Research in the past year, Didi has decreased the ETA for pick-ups to the current four minutes on average and increased its rides to a total of 1.43 billion in 2015.
"Our vision for Didi is to grow into a company like Facebook and Google, a company featured by its own technological edge," said He.
By cooperating with Udacity, who launched in China on Monday, Didi expects to welcome more talent to accelerate the realization of intelligent transit.

1. Saint Joseph, meek and mild,
Embraced the new-born Child,
Then knelt upon the sod:
The old man, well aware
That Deity lay there,
Adored the Child as God.
Full fain was he to own
Yonder Babe, the source alone
Of health and wealth and light,
As awestruck he did bless
The Sun of righteousness.
Sooth, 'twas a wondrous sight;
Sooth, 'twas a wondrous sight.
2. Who gave me charge and care
Of God's own Son and Heir?
The Lord, I well dare say.
The Mother-maid - as blind
'Twas once within my mind
To put her clean away;
Now knew, that she, most blest,
Ever-Virgin, in her breast
Such priceless Jewell bare -
A heav'nly Pearl, the which
Poor Joseph shall enrich
O'er all men everywhere.
3. Mine ancestor of yore
Was David; he that wore
The royal crown by right:
Howbeit, I from great
Fell into low estate, -
Am but a timber-wright:
Yet, Son of David, thou
Wilt ere long upon my brow
Set kingly diadem:
Meanwhile, mine arms enfold
The King of kings, of old -
The Babe of Bethlehem.

In October 2018, Frankfurt Airport (FRA) welcomed almost 6.4 million passengers – an increase of 5.2% year-on-year. Thus, traffic grew at a slightly more moderate rate compared to the previous months of the year. From January to October 2018, FRA experienced accumulated growth of 8.0%.
Aircraft movements increased at a slightly disproportionately higher rate, climbing by 6.3% year-on-year to 46,551 takeoffs and landings. Cargo throughput (airfreight + airmail) contracted marginally by 1.0% to about 193,374 metric tons, reflecting lower demand in global trade. Accumulated maximum takeoff weights (MTOWs) rose by 4.1% to around 2.8 million metric tons.
Across the Group, airports in Fraport's international portfolio reported continued passenger growth. Ljubljana Airport (LJU) in Slovenia's capital city posted a 5.1% increase to 161,446 passengers. Fraport's Brazilian airports in Fortaleza (FOR) and Porto Alegre (POA) achieved combined growth of 5.2% to nearly 1.3 million passengers. The 14 Greek regional airports advanced by 6.1% overall, to almost 2.5 million passengers. The busiest airports in Fraport's Greek portfolio included Thessaloniki (SKG) with 586,683 passengers (up 6.1%), Rhodes (RHO) with 540,117 passengers (down 2.7%), and Kos (KGS) with 279,198 passengers (up 12.4%).
Peru's Lima Airport (LIM) grew moderately by 3.3% to 1.9 million passengers in the reporting month. At the Fraport Twin Star airport's in Varna (VAR) and Burgas (BOJ) on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, combined traffic soared by 26.2% to 154,661 passengers. Antalya Airport (AYT) in Turkey recorded the strongest growth in Fraport's international portfolio, with traffic rising by 29.2% to 3.7 million passengers. In October 2018, AYT reached 30 million passengers for the first time. As a result, the airport on the Turkish Riviera will hit a new all-time high for the full year. Pulkovo Airport (LED) in St. Petersburg, Russia, posted a 15.2% traffic gain to just over 1.5 million passengers. Xi'an Airport (XIY) in China welcomed nearly 4 million passengers, up 6.8%.

William F. Dankenbring pastor and founder of Triumph Prophetic Ministries died Monday August 28 1:00 P.M. of renal failure Kidney failure and of congestive heart failure (Heart failure does not mean the heart has stopped working. Rather, it means that the heart's pumping power is weaker than normal. With heart failure, blood moves through the heart and body at a slower rate, and pressure in the heart increases. As a result, the heart cannot pump enough oxygen and nutrients to meet the body's needs. The chambers of the heart may respond by stretching to hold more blood to pump through the body or by becoming stiff and thickened. This helps to keep the blood moving, but the heart muscle walls may eventually weaken and become unable to pump as efficiently. As a result, the kidneys may respond by causing the body to retain fluid (water) and salt. If fluid builds up in the arms, legs, ankles, feet, lungs, or other organs, the body becomes congested, and congestive heart failure is the term used to describe the condition..

No man is ever going to go to Heaven, nor has any man ever gone to Heaven except
He who ascended (Joh 3:13) to Heaven-Jesus.
B.) Did you know that the Bible teaches that all dead people from the time of Noah to today "are still in the ground as dust" waiting for their change to come?
C.) Did you know that there are 3 resurrections and not just 1?
D.) Did you know that the 1st Resurrection occurs when Jesus comes back, but only involves a small number of individuals.
E.) Did you know the 2nd Resurrection lasts "only" for 100 years
F.) Did you know that the 3rd Resurrection is to put the unrepentant into a lake of Fire to burn them up instantaneously?
G.) Did you know that people will "not" be burning alive in hell forever as most Churches teach you?
H.) Did you know there are 3 different types of Hell?
I.) As you can see there is no "ever" burning hell at all, only a hell that burns one up to ashes.
J.) The second type of Hell, is for the 3rd resurrection for those who will be burned up in an all consuming Hellfire in the Lake of Fire (Rev 20:14-15).
K.) Did you know that all the babies that were born without being baptized, and "without" ever even hearing the name of Jesus will "not" be burning alive in Hell forever?
L.) Did you know that all the people in the World that died in countries such as China, India, Africa, and Communist Countries "without" ever even hearing the name of Jesus will "not" be burning alive in Hell forever.
M.) Did you know that Jesus deliberately spoke in parables so that the majority would "not" understand his message and be saved "before" their appointed "called" time?
N.) Did you know that God will "not" give eternal life to someone who will not live the way according to"all" the 10 Commandments.
O.) Did you know that the 10 Commandments were never nailed to the Cross.
P.) Did you know that God deliberately "created us" from day 1 "with a selfish nature", that wants its own way no matter what, (just like a baby that howls until it gets what it wants).
Q.) When we are converted, we "have to" use God's Spirit as a tool to root out sin (disobedience) from our lives. That is what Christianity is all about. Christianity is "not" just about mouthing the words: "I believe Jesus is Lord", because the Demons also believe Jesus is Lord, but they won't obey, just like all the Denominations of the World refuse to obey "all" the 10 Commandments.

Goshen Brewing Company is a family-friendly brewpub serving a wide selection of beers and seasonal, local, farm-to-table food. One of the coolest parts - they are a 100% solar and wind-powered facility!
They recycled the former Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO) building to provide a comfortable, industrial space to eat, drink, and socialize. At GBCo. they believe in the power of community and offer big, open tables where you can sit and get to know your neighbors. We absolutely love this!
Jesse Sensenig grew up in Archbold, a small town in Northwest Ohio. After high school, Jesse received his undergrad from Goshen College and got his Master of Social Work Colorado State University. He met his partner Amanda (a Goshen native) and fell in love with the beer culture while they were in Colorado and began to get serious about brewing at home.
Jesse did an internship at Great Black Swamp Brewery out of Toledo, OH and saw the progressive development of downtown Goshen when visiting family. They knew it was time to come home because Goshen would be a great fit for them to open a brewery.
We were able to catch up with Jesse (sadly not over a delicious beer at GBCo., but that's coming soon!) and chat about what's his favorite thing on the menu at GBCo., what he likes to do in his off time and what he loves about Elkhart County!
What's your favorite brew on tap right now?
I am always excited about Bexbach, our traditional Marzen Lager. It is somewhat malty, yet balanced and clean. Perfect for Fall!
GBCo. has more than beer! The menu is outstanding, too! If you could only keep one thing on the menu, what would it be? (Psst, for us it'd be Pad Thai Tuesday OR those delicious fries with the mouthwatering comeback sauce!)
We do take pride in our relationships with farms around the region and focus on fresh and high-quality ingredients. It would be hard to take away Pad Thai though! The Ramen is also a favorite.
What do you love about living and working in Elkhart County?
This county is very collaborative and supportive of each other. The community has been extremely supportive of this venture, and we just want to be a strong asset to the area.
Where is your favorite spot to relax in Goshen?
Outside of brewery life I like to spend time with my partner Amanda and daughter Carly, hiking, playing disc golf, going to concerts, or riding bike. We especially like walking with family along the Millrace, or riding a bike along the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail.
We know that GBCo. has incredible food along with some awesome beer! When you're not at "the office" where is your favorite spot to grab a bite to eat in Goshen?
Common Spirits is always a spot that I find myself wanting to sit up at the bar, grab one of their impressive cocktails, and their fresh take on food. There are several different restaurants that I appreciate in the area though!
What would you say is a must-see or a must-do for visitors experiencing Elkhart County for the first time?
There are a lot of fun things but I am partial to downtown Goshen. There are great restaurants, bars, bookstores, coffee shops, art, concerts, farmer's market, and I always enjoy hunting at Found for some mid-century modern furniture.
What would you tell someone looking to relocate their family to Elkhart County?
Elkhart County is an area of extreme opportunity and growth, yet with a smaller community feel.
In your opinion, what is the most Instagrammable spot in Goshen?
Ignition Music Garage, the concerts are amazing and the storefront is wonderful.
Anything else you'd like to tell us?
We feel blessed to have such a great team of people working at GBCo., and are thrilled to be in this county with the opportunity to hopefully boost the quality of life through our passion!
Love where you live. Live where you love.

A coach with head coaching experience in Colorado will be the new football coach at Glenrock this season.
Paul Downing, previously the head coach at Coal Ridge High School in New Castle, Colorado, will take over the Herders' head coaching role this season.
Glenrock High School Principal Mark Fritz said via email on Wednesday to wyoming-football.com that Downing had been hired to coach football and teach social studies in Glenrock. An email sent to Downing on Thursday morning was not immediately returned.
Downing was the head coach at Coal Ridge from 2018 through this season. Coal Ridge went 3-3 last season during Colorado's spring football season, the program's best record in his three years. Coal Ridge went 1-8 in both 2019 and 2018.
He was also head coach at Highland High School in Ault, Colorado, for the 2015 and 2016 seasons, going a combined 10-9. During 2017, Downing stepped away from coaching to battle Hodgkin's lymphoma.
He also coached middle school football at Donelson Christian Academy in Tennessee for six years and was an assistant high school coach at Au Gres-Sims School in Michigan and at Kiowa (Colorado) High School for one year each.
Downing takes over for Ryan Collier, who was a combined 6-11 in two seasons as the Herders' head coach. Collier resigned in May. Glenrock went 4-5 last season and did not qualify for the Class 2A playoffs.
Class 4A Laramie and Class 1A nine-man Greybull and Lingle have hired new head football coaches for 2021, while Class 1A nine-man Riverside is looking for a new head coach. If you know of other head coaching changes in the state, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

On Friday, October 28, Brazil participated in a teleconference with the government of the United States (US) and the European Union (EU) to debate global tariff policy, particularly for agricultural imports.
The Brazilian minister of Foreign Relations, Celso Amorim, said in a press conference that the US proposes a 65% average reduction in current tariff levels, while the EU favors an average cut of 39%.
"We eagerly await the European Union to present its contribution on market access by the end of the week, with proposals for an effective market opening for fresh and processed agricultural products from developing countries," he added.
Brazil's negotiations are aimed at concluding arrangements to present in Hong Kong at the meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in December.
During the press conference, Amorim read a message sent by Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on October 25 to the leaders of four European countries (France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal) and the head of the European Commission, Durão Barroso, asking them to back significant reductions in tariffs and non-tariff barriers.
In the message, Lula emphasizes the need for the understandings to reach a satisfactory conclusion, since the negotiations are at a "critical juncture." And he expresses concern over "the prospect of a possible stall in the negotiations on agriculture at the meeting in Hong Kong."
The EU is the world's largest importer of agricultural products, and "its position in the negotiations will set a standard for the contributions that other countries will be willing to make on this matter," the message goes on to say.
The President emphasizes, moreover, that the position taken by the EU will encourage other partners, "especially the United States, to make additional moves that we consider indispensable as far as domestic subsidies are concerned."

Friday Features - Mason Jars
11 comments:
My favourite is the first one, I've seen them on Pinterest a couple of years ago, and still love them. Maybe that's a sign that I need these in my life...ReplyDelete
These are wonderful! I really like that mason jar used as a lamp base :)ReplyDelete

Great ideas! I love mason jars. I've included them in more than a couple of paintings.ReplyDelete
I love your featured items! Great for season! Happy first weekend on October to you as well!ReplyDelete
This reminds me that we went to an estate sale once and the woman who lived there had a stockpile of hundreds of mason jars in the basement. I wanted to buy some thinking of all the crafts I could do (they may have even just given them to me for free) but we really don't have space to store a bunch of stuff that might never get used, so I didn't get any. But I sort of wish I had!ReplyDelete
People are so creative with Mason jars! They remind me of my grandma's homemade jams and pickled beets! :)ReplyDelete
These are cool!ReplyDelete
maybe the planters
I really love the painted ones! Beautiful planters for a kitchen herb garden.ReplyDelete
Mason jars are great. The wall hung planters look so cool! I love the iron chains.ReplyDelete
The chandelier is stunning! it is my favorite!ReplyDelete
Great finds. I LOVE the chandelier.ReplyDelete

I am sure that people in our industry will understand when I say our business went from zero to 100 almost overnight. Prides and our sales team was with us every step of the way, first with communicating what we might do with our pre-book orders if there were no avenue to sell them, and then how to get us 2 truckloads of material a week! We appreciate the service and flexibility we received when I am sure everyone was asking for the same. In a fast-paced, stressful environment, it is good to know that communication with the Prides team was always available, whether it be sales, accounting, or the truck drivers delivering our goods."
~Tyler Lupien, Moose Crossing Garden Center
"It has been such a pleasure to work with Pride's Corner Farm. This wonderful family business has helped our business grow! We are always thankful for the positive wonderful energy that surrounds this amazing company! We will remain loyal to Pride's Corner Farm as they continue to grow their thriving product. Cheers to many years of success."

The Primary Care Federations Toolkit was produced in partnership with the King's Fund, The Nuffield Trust and Hempsons Solicitors. It aims to support existing federations as well as those practices looking to federate.
Guidance included in the toolkit stressed that support from PCTs is a 'critical factor' in whether practices federate successfully. It said that GP will find it harder to federate once PCTs are abolished as it will be more difficult to seek financial support.
'Over the next few years, until PCTs are abolished in March 2013, there is a window of opportunity for GPs to seek that support from their local PCT,' it said. 'Once GP consortia are established it may be more difficult to seek financial support given the potential conflicts in interest. GPs will then need to generate the resources for central support internally or through working an external private sector provider.'
RCGP Chairman, Professor Steve Field said: 'Many practices are already working in federations and many more are actively considering coming together in this way. In the meantime, the Government has published its White Paper, Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS and has set out its plans for General Practice Commissioning Consortia.
'We believe that federations, as providers of services, can work well alongside Consortia, and that there are considerable opportunities for federations to maximise benefits for patients.'

So, first off, the software should be installed using an Administrator account or a user with Admin rights. However, after the installation, FreeFlow Core mostly does not need users to access the windows desktop. As such, you will be using the "FreeFlow Core" users which you can set an administrator and then specific user accounts in the FreeFlow Core software (web browser).
Then for the Windows server / computer if a user needs to access the computer, it is possible to add standard users to windows that can of course then access and use FreeFlow Core. They would of course be blocked from doing some things like maybe creating shared network folders etc based on the user credentials. But they can access the FreeFlow Core software via a browser. Then when needed, log on via the admin account to do things like Windows OS updates, create network shares, activate FreeFlow Core licenses or update FreeFlow Core software (should always be done with admin account).
I would not recommend running any of the FreeFlow Core services on only a 'user' account. Some modules will fail to run due to insufficient access rights. Often the specific module licenses will not activate.
I have many customers where IT sets up the server OS using their admin accounts, install Core, then we validate the software is running and working, setup an admin and users in the FreeFlow Core software, and then pass it over to the users. At that point, none of the users have access to the windows server. When needed, we contact IT, run the necessary updates and move on. Thus the users dont need admin rights (but it is much easier when someone in production has the admin rights when needed).
Hope this helps
One needs to have FFCore at 6.0.0 or later. Use the following procedure:
Pre-Requisites: Create a normal user say "test123" -> Computer Management-> Local Users and Groups -> Users->Add New User
1. Install FFCore in Administrator Account
2. Launch FFCore application and login as an Administrator.
3. Launch Core Configure-> Database Connection ->FreeFlow Core Sevice Accout.
4. Uncheck the option "Check this box to use Built-In Windows Account"
5. Provide Service account credentials
6. Click on Save button, it will pop-up confirmation message to restart the machine->Click on "Yes" button.
7. Now system login as service account
8. Launch FFCore application and Try to login.
I have been asked by our IT security department to determine if Free Flow Core can be run without a blanket administrative privileges being assigned or not. We are currently running several FFC services as a specific user with full admin privileges and when ran a test to see how they would act when we revoked them and had regular user permissions them the main Free Flow Core service fails to start, just hangs at starting service but all the others started fine.
Does anyone have any idea exactly what privileges are needed for this service to start correctly? They are hoping to assign specific privileges to this user instead of full admin privileges. I did assign R/W access to the FFC folders that I could find but it seems it needs more then that.
I am not very familiar FFC and have not been able to find any other posts regarding this.

'Based on the true story of Shade Reed'
In this true-life story of Shade Reed, we get to see that in many ways we suffer collectively. So often we feel alone when there are literally thousands of people experiencing our exact same pain. It's a little ironic if you think about it. Because of this loneliness, this abandoned feeling often leads us down slippery roads. Which really just makes things worse. The truth is, at the end of the day. Not a single one of us is alone Shade found that out the hard way.
"Shade is a strong man of God, founded in the Word and led by the Holy Spirit. His personal testimony is a true example of the sovereignty of God and the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am honored to serve the Lord with a man such as Shade and pleased to call him brother." J. Brett Prince

Happy Monday, folks. We're kicking off the week by highlighting some of the best Terra data dashboards from the past week.
We've got six Terra data dashboards to highlight this week. That includes submissions from @jr3225, @shreyashpatodia, and MarneeSeaweed.
Let's dive in.
Partnerships, support, and buzz fuel LUNA volatility
We'll start with a look at recent LUNA price volatility. As we can see in the graph below from @jr3225's submission, LUNA has a higher percent standard deviation each day over the past two weeks, except July 18th. While both tokens have increased substantially, LUNA remains more volatile over the last 2 weeks.
The reasons for this volatility, and in particular for the recent price increase for LUNA? @jr3225 points to three main causes: new projects, partnerships, and bridges such as the recent bETH announcement, support from Terraform labs, and some recent buzz from a session on "The ₿ Word |Bitcoin as a Tool for Economic Empowerment."
LUNA price increase feeds fewer Anchor deposits
That increase in the price of LUNA is having ripple effects throughout the Terra ecosystem. On Anchor, for example, it seems that the LUNA run-up is causing users to deposit less.
As we can see in the graph below from @shreyashpatodia, deposits on Anchor fall as the price of LUNA climbs. This, according to the submission, is likely because "there was more upside to be had in the market by investing in more risk-on assets users started depositing less the Anchor."
Anchor TVL climbs…
Our next submission also focuses on Anchor. As @TZMCrypto shows, and as we can see in the graph below, there's been steady growth in the TVL (total value locked) of Anchor over time.
As @TZMCrypto notes in the submission, this growth is heavily impacted by "sudden upward movements" in the price of LUNA and ANC. Notably, these spikes in price tend to have a heavier impact than drops in price wield, helping to sustain growth on the platform. Mirror's TVL, meanwhile, is much more likely to be impacted by environmental triggers, including the price of LUNA and ANC
Increased LTV leading to increased borrowing
TVL isn't the only thing on the rise when it comes to Anchor — as we can see in the graph below, the Loan to Value, or LTV ratio, of Anchor has also been on the rise.
And as the LTV of Anchor has continued to climb, borrowing has increased. That's evident in this next submission from MarneeSeaweed. As the submission points out, UST borrowing has increased since the LTV hit 60%. Interestingly, however, this has not led to a significant increase in the amount of bLUNA provided as collateral. This is likely because the rewards for borrowing have declined, meaning users are content to take out more UST with the bLUNA they've already supplied.
May crash leads to increased UST burns
We'll finish off our look at this week's best submissions by examining UST collateralization. As @shreyashpatodia points out, in order for UST to be able to maintain its peg, there must be a high volume of UST to LUNA swaps so that the peg remains tight at all times.
Fortunately, as we can see in the graph below, that's exactly what's occurring. There was a more than $35 million UST (shown by the spike in the green line) burned in late May, and again more recently. According to @shreyashpatodia, this is "extremely good for UST" as "the ability to keep its peg…depends completely on arbitrageurs stepping in and minting LUNA and UST.
Do more with Terra data 🔍
That does it for this week. Thanks to everyone who submitted such great Terra data dashboards! Want to get more involved with the Flipside community and see your own submissions on our blog?Join us on Discord to get started.

What is Edema?
This is a medical term referred to as the swelling of body parts as a result of injury or inflammation. A small area or the entire body could be affected.
Edema occurs when there is an escape of the fluid by small blood vessels into nearby tissues, this makes extra fluid to build up, which in turn makes the tissue swell. This can happen almost anywhere in the body.
Types of Edema
Peripheral Edema: This normally affects parts of the body such as the legs, feet, and ankles, and in few cases, the arms. It may be an indication of problems with your circulatory system, lymph nodes, or kidneys.
Pedal Edema: This is when there are fluid gathers in your feet and lower legs. This is usually more common in older people or pregnant women. Movement can become really difficult as there isn't much sensation in the feet.
Lymph Edema: This is swelling in the arms and legs. This is most often caused by damage to the lymph nodes, tissues that help separate germs and waste materials from the body. The damage may come about from the result of cancer treatments like surgery and radiation. Cancer itself can as well block lymph nodes, which could lead to a buildup of fluid.
Pulmonary Edema: This is a condition that happens when there is a collection of fluid in the air sacs or in the lungs, which makes it difficult for one to breathe, and it gets worse when one lies down. A person with a pulmonary Edema condition may have a fast heartbeat, feel suffocated, or cough up foamy spittle that could have a trace of blood sometimes.
Cerebral Edema: This is a very severe complication in which there is a buildup of fluid in the brain. It can occur if one hits his/her head hard or if a blood vessel bursts or gets blocked, or if one has a tumor or an allergic reaction.
Macular Edema: This happens when there is a buildup of fluid in a part of the eye, also known as the "Macula," which is the center of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue located at the back of the eye. This occurs when blood vessels that are damaged in the retina leak fluid into that area.
Causes of Edema
So many things like a twisted ankle, a bee sting, or a skin infection in most cases can cause Edema.
Edema can also result from other conditions or from when there is an imbalance of substances in the blood.
They include:
Low albumin: Also known as Hypoalbuminemia Albumin, and other proteins in the blood act like sponges to retain fluid in the blood vessels. Low levels of albumin in the body may result in Edema.
Allergic reactions are caused by the escape of fluid into the affected area by blood vessels.
A blood clot developing in the deep veins of the leg.
A tumor that causes a blockage in the flow of blood or another fluid called lymph can cause Edema.
Severe illnesses such as burns, life-threatening infections, or other serious illnesses can cause a reaction that allows the leakage of fluid into tissues.
Congestive heart failure is created as a result of the weakening of the heart, which causes poor functioning of the heart and then the gradual buildup of fluid, thereby causing leg edema. If fluid builds up fast, one can get fluid in the lungs, and if there's a heart failure on the right side of your heart, then Edema could form in the abdomen.
Liver disease: serious liver disease such as cirrhosis could cause one to keep fluid. Cirrhosis can also lead to low levels of albumin and other proteins in the blood. Fluid may also leak into the abdomen and cause leg edema.
Kidney disease: A kidney condition known as Nephrotic syndrome may cause severe leg edema and sometimes Edema of the whole body.
Pregnancy: mild leg edema is often common during pregnancy. But serious complications of pregnancy like deep vein thrombosis and preeclampsia can also lead to Edema.
Other causes may include:
· Head trauma
· Low blood sodium (called hyponatremia),
· High altitudes
· Brain tumors
· An obstruction in fluid drainage of the brain (known as hydrocephalus) can cause cerebral Edema.
· Headaches, confusion, unconsciousness, and coma could also cause Edema.
There are numerous medicines that can cause Edema but mildly, such as:
· NSAIDs (Ibuprofen and naproxen)
· Calcium Channel Blockers
· Corticosteroids (such as Prednisone and Methylprednisolone)
· Pioglitazone and Rosiglitazone
· Pramipexole
Symptoms of Edema
Symptoms of Edema variably depend on the underlying cause, type of Edema, location of the Edema.
A person with Edema may notice:
- Abdominal pain
- Headache
- Nausea and Vomiting
- High pulse rate
- High blood pressure
- Puffiness of the ankles, face, or eyes
- Weight gain or loss
- Swollen, stretched, and shiny skin
- Aching body parts and stiff joints
- Visual abnormalities
- Confusion and Lethargy
Treatment of Edema
Treatment of Edema highly depends on the cause of Edema.
They include:
Diuretics. Diuretics are a type of medication that helps get rid of excess fluid by increasing the rate of production of urine by the kidneys.
Each type of Edema requires specific treatment.
Alternative remedies
Some self-care techniques can help stop or reduce the effects of Edema.
They include:
· Exercising regularly
· Losing weight
· Cutting down on consumption of salt
· Not sitting down or standing for too long
· Avoiding intense temperatures such as hot baths, showers, etc
· Raising the legs as frequently as possible to improve circulation
· Wearing supportive stockings
· Dressing warmly in cold weather conditions
Also, one may reach out to a masseuse or physical therapist to help remove fluid buildup by stroking strongly in the direction of the heart.
Oxygen may also be needed in the treatment of some kinds of Edema. An individual with pulmonary Edema may need additional oxygen if they have problems taking an inadequate amount of oxygen.
Oxygen rendered to the body through the nose may improve poor vision caused by diabetic Macular Edema.
Complications that Could Result from Edema
- Painful swelling
- Stretchy and Itchy skin
- Infection in the area of swelling
- Poor blood circulation
- Loss of elasticity in the arteries, joints, and veins
- Scarring between the layers of tissue
Any underlying medical condition needs to be treated to prevent it from becoming more serious.
To prevent Edema, one must first know its causes that way, Edema is being prevented.
In conclusion, not all cases of Edema are severe; some could be mild and require medication to heal. Whatever may be the case, it is very important to note that Edema, if left untreated, may result in a lot of life-threatening cases and conditions.
