Home / Inspired by The Point Neighborhood Specialty Walking Tour Offered 7/16, 8/6 & 10/8 / Craft: An American History Craft: An American History $30.00 Default Title - $30.00 Quantity Ask us a question Name Email Phone Number Message A groundbreaking and endlessly surprising history of how artisans created America, from the nation's origins to the present day. As Adamson argues, these artisans' stories speak to our collective striving toward a more perfect union. From the beginning, America had to be-and still remains to be-crafted. At the center of the United States' economic and social development, according to conventional wisdom, are industry and technology-while craftspeople and handmade objects are relegated to a bygone past. Renowned historian Glenn Adamson turns that narrative on its head in this innovative account, revealing makers' central role in shaping America's identity. Examine any phase of the nation's struggle to define itself, and artisans are there-from the silversmith Paul Revere and the revolutionary carpenters and blacksmiths who hurled tea into Boston Harbor, to today's “maker movement.” From Mother Jones to Rosie the Riveter. From Betsy Ross to Rosa Parks. From suffrage banners to the AIDS Quilt. By Glenn Adamson. Published by Bloomsbury, 2021. 400 pages, hardcover.

Products Smoothing Shine, Hair Spray, and Moisturizer Tools Blow Dryer Similar hairstyles you may be interested in... ★★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★★ ... hairstyle categories Styling Steps 1. Apply Moisturizer Apply a small amount of hair moisturizer to the palm of your hand and distribute it evenly through the mid-lengths and the ends. Moisturizer will help your hair to maintain good condition and protect your strands from heat as you style. 2. Part the Middle Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your nose and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even middle part. A middle part is a great way to make small, round face shapes appear longer and thinner. 3. Use a Medium Radial Brush A medium radial brush is used on medium to long hair types to smooth out wavy or curly hair textures or to add body to straight hair. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure bristle as this will not tear or damage the hair. 4. Blow-dry the Back Under To blow-dry under, start at the nape/back and place your brush under the section of hair close to the nape. With the dryer held up over the hair, pull the brush from the roots and continue to the mid length's, keeping the blow-dryer following over the top. Once you reach the ends, curve them under. Repeat this step until the section is completely dry. 5. Blow-dry Left Side Back Take a section of your hair from your ear to your temple that is the ple that is the same diameter as the brush. Place your brush on top of the hair starting at the roots and pull the hair slowly in a backward direction with your blow-dryer following in front. Be sure the section is dry and then repeat the step on a new section of hair directly behind. 7. Apply Smoothing Shine Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palm to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.

Vibrating Furnace Charges are effective solutions to problems such as high labour cost, hazards to furnace operators faced in foundries, melting shops etc. Such a kind of automation allows foundry men to work at a safe distance thus preventing injures arising out of molten metal splash. It also facilitates in rapid and quick charging of the furnace thereby allowing maximum utilization of the furnace. In addition to this, the damage to furnace lining is avoided which normally occurs in manual charging of the furnaces. Principle Of Operation : The required amount of scrap metal is loaded into the storage hoper at the loading point. The trolley the carries the vibrating feeder along with the storage hopper to the furnace charging point. Here, the vibrating feeder is energized and the material is effectively discharged into the furnace as per the required capacity. As the metal is melted down, fresh batch of metal can be fed into the furnace thereby keeping the furnace full. The capacity of the vibrating feeder can be varied by varying the amplitude of variations. The amplitude of vibrations can be varied by adjusting the position of centrifugal weights or by using a variable frequency drive (optional). A control panel specially designed to suit individual client requirement depending on the sequence of operations required is provided.

Not sure what product is right for you? Use our easy to use the product finder to select the best products for your need. Ask the Expert Your answers to frequently asked questions about Gumout® products and their use. If the answer to your performance additives question isn't below, contact us by email or by phone. THE SCIENCE BEHIND BETTER PERFORMANCE Better performance doesn’t start on a track. It starts in a lab. The internal combustion engine is a complex piece of machinery, and the performance additives that clean and maintain it need to react in specific ways to keep it performing properly. In short, when better science goes into a product, better performance comes out. SEE HOW IT WORKS How fuel additives work in your engine Fuel additives help eliminate damaging carbon deposits and fight corrosion from ethanol and water, restoring lost performance and extending engine life. How well fuel additives work depends on both the quality and quantity of the ingredients. SCIENCE OVERVIEW ENGINE PROBLEMS Decreased engine performance can be affected in a number of ways, from corrosion of metal parts to excess cylinder friction. And one of the most common causes is fuel itself. Even high-quality fuel leaves behind carbon deposits that build up on key engine parts, causing problems that range from reduced horsepower to poor fuel economy. OUR INGREDIENTS Gumout® fuel and oil additives are scientifically formulated using the strongest ingredients available, like P.E.A. (polyether-amine), a potent nitrogen-based detergent capable of cleaning engine parts in a way weaker detergents can't match. Gumout uses higher concentrations of active ingredients and rigorously tests every formula to meet tough performance and safety standards. PROVEN RESULTS In science, results reign supreme. Formulas need to work consistently and in a variety of conditions to be considered successful. Gumout uses ASTM Industry Standard tests to ensure our formulas are scientifically effective, time after time, under the toughest conditions.

For example, student (F), visitor (B), temporary worker (H). Every visa is issued for a particular purpose and for a specific class of visitor. Each visa classification has a set of requirements that the visa holder must follow and maintain. When you arrive in the U.S., a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Customs and Border Protection (CBP) inspector determines whether you will be admitted, length of stay and conditions of stay in, the U.S. When admitted you are given a Form I-94 (Arrival/Departure Record), which tells you when you must leave the U.S. The date granted on the I-94 card at the airport governs how long you may stay in the U.S. If you do not follow the requirements, you stay longer than that date, or you engage in activities not permitted for your particular type of visa, you violate your status and are considered be "out of status". It is important to understand the concept of immigration status and the consequences of violating that status. Failure to maintain status can result in arrest, and violators may be required to leave the U.S. Violation of status also can affect the prospect of readmission to the U.S. for a period of time, by making you ineligible for a visa. Most people who violate the terms of their status are barred from lawfully returning to the United States for years. See the U.S. Department of State Visa Expiration Date page for more information.

Since we found out we were pregnant (maybe even before), we knew we wanted to build our baby’s crib. Of course we I had my doubts. Would it be safe enough? What would we finish it with that would be safe for baby? Would it even look good? Psh… c’mon – I knew the answer to that last one. I started by searching different styles of cribs on Pinterest and even DIY cribs to see if I could get any tips from other DIYers. I came across Back to Domestic’s DIY Cribs and loved the style. This style of crib looked like it could be built using the same general technique we used for our DIY Pottery Barn Farmhouse Bed, which gave me the confidence I needed to move forward. I showed Kurt the crib style and he began building the crib using Google Sketchup so we could view it 3 dimensionally to scale before we dove in (Thank you LSU Robert Reich School of Landscape Architecture for the handy skills!) Here’s what it looked like once he had it drawn up to scale. I did some further research on crib safety standards to be sure what we built would be safe enough for our little Baby Boehr (pronounced “bear”). lays out the crib safety standards (as of 2011) pretty well – you can view those standards here. We decided to buy our baby mattress before starting to be sure our measurements for the crib would work. After getting our mattress, we headed to the hardware store for wood and supplies. Supplies needed for our DIYstinctly Made DIY Crib DIY Crib Building Supplies 2 – 4”x4”x8’ pine boards 2 – 2”x4”x10’ pine boards 1 – 2″x2″x10′ pine board 8 – 1”x2”x10’ pine boards 7 – 1”x3”x10’ pine boards 4 – 1”x6”x10’ pine boards Finish nails 3” screws 3 1½” screws 1 ½” screws 1 pack of small metal “L” brackets (4 brackets/pack) Wood glue DIY Crib Finish Supplies Wood filler 220grit Sand paper Orbit Sander Rustoleum Varathane Stain + Poly (Early American) Steel wool Minwax Paste Wax How we built our DIY Crib This project took a couple of months with our frequent trips to Baton Rouge on the weekend during football season; therefore, I don’t have as many pictures of the process as I would like. First, we tackled the sides of the crib. We laid out five 1″ x 6″ boards (cut to 36 ½” in length) side by side and attached two 1″ x 3″ boards (26 3/4″ in length) across the top and the bottom using wood glue, finish nails, and clamps (NOTE: the two outer 1″ x 6″ board’s width will need to be ripped in order to get the desired 26 3/4″ total width for the side). Next we flipped it over and attached two more 1″ x 3″ boards (26 3/4″ in length) across the top and the bottom using wood glue, 1 ½” screws, and clamps. We screwed the interior after nailing the exterior boards on so that the screws would help pull the wood together. We used a spade drill bit to create holes for the screws to sit beneath the surface of the wood. The decorative pieces were then attached to the outside using wood glue and finish nails. Next, we assembled the sides of the crib with vertical slats because we didn’t yet have 4×4 posts for our sides that were completed. We marked where each slat would go on two 1″ x 3″ boards (cut to 53″ in length), making sure that they were all 2 3/8″ apart (based on crib standard requirements, slats should be no more than 2 3/8 inches apart). The gaps between the two outer slats and the crib sides will be less than 2 3/8.” After we attached the slats to the 1″ x 3″ boards using 1 ½” screws and wood glue, I was a little bothered by the fact that the outer slat gaps would be smaller than the rest, but honestly now that its built. it looks great and I don’t even notice it. Next, we attached the bottom 2″ x 4″ boards (cut to 53″ in length) using wood glue, 3″ screws (drilled from the bottom), and our handy dandy clamps. At first we only screwed into the 1″ x 3″ that we previously attached, but after noticing that the 2″ x 4″ need to be more stable we screwed into a few slats as well. After the bottom was secure, we attached the top 1″ x 2″ runner (cut to 53″ in length) using wood glue and finish nails. Here are all 4 sides at this point. As you can see, I was also refinishing the changing table/dresser, but I’ll save that for another post 😉 Because we couldn’t find non-pressure treated 4x4s ANYWHERE, we were stuck at this point for some time. Luckily, my dad was able to find some non-pressure treated 4x6s in North Georgia. We picked them up when we went home for Thanksgiving. A couple of passes through my Dad’s beast of a table saw and we had ourselves non-pressure treated 4x4s! Once we got back home, Kurt couldn’t wait to finished the sides. He cut our new 4″ x 4″ posts to be 43″ in length and attached them to the sides using 3 ½” screws and wood glue. He used a spade drill bit before hand to make holes to ensure the 3 ½” screws would reach the sides. If we had longer screws at the time, he would have used those instead… but ain’t nobody got time to run back to the store – so we made do. After the posts were on, He attached the 2″ x 4″ cap (cut to 37 3/4″ in length) using 3″ screws and wood glue. We used this same technique when attaching the posts and caps to our DIY Pottery Barn Farmhouse Bed. Finally, we built the mattress support according to the dimensions below using wood glue and screws to make it as sturdy as possible. This support is what can be used to adjust the height of the mattress within the crib. Simply screw the support into the posts from below at the desired height. When the crib mattress needs to be “dropped,” it sits at the base of the crib with no screws necessary (shown in pictures). Once all 4 sides and the mattress support were done we did a makeshift assembly to see how she looked – AMAZING! Unfortunately, the crib wouldn’t fit into the nursery, so we had to disassemble it before reassembling once complete. We filled all holes and wood cracks with sandable/stainable wood filler. After the wood filler dried, we sanded all pieces using 220 grit sand paper which made the wood as smooth as a baby’s bottom. Before we finished the crib, we found out we are having a little boy. We chose an outdoors theme for his room since daddy is an avid fisherman and hunter. To go with the theme, we wanted to stain the wood instead of paint it. I did some more research trying to find an all-natural solution that wouldn’t harm the baby if he gnawed on the crib. I purchased Dark Raw Tung Oil from the Real Milk Paint Company… BUT, once I tested it on a piece of scrap wood I realized I didn’t like the color AND it would take for-ev-ver to apply. So, I did some more research and found out that commercial finishes are okay to use if they have been properly cured (typically 30 days). We decided to go with Rustoleum’s Varathane Stain + Poly in Early American to cut back on steps – I am SO glad we went with this product. It was easy to apply, dried quickly, and because it is water based it was very easy to clean up (no harsh chemicals needed!) This product is a one-coat wonder! We applied on the thicker side, rather than doing multiple thin coats, so two coats were not needed. After we had everything stained/varathaned, we lightly rubbed with steel wool to make everything as smooth as possible. Once perfectly smooth, we applied paste wax and buffed. Once settled for a few days, we brought the pieces into the nursery and assembled. Kurt used his spade drill bit again to drill pocket holes on the bottom of both sides of each side (with slats) so they could be screwed to the posts using 3 1/2″ screws. On a side note: a Kreg Jig would have come in reaaaal handy to make the pockets holes (this tool has since been added to my wishlist). Once the bottoms were attached, we used a small “L” metal bracket to screw the underside of top of the sides with slats to the insides of the posts (See the pic below – side with slats on the left, post on the right). We had a hard time at first trying to figure out the best way to attach the top of the sides with slats to the posts because we knew this crib would have to be disassembled and reassembled in the future as we have more babies. Ultimately, we decided on the brackets. They are very sturdy and and tuck nicely under the rail – we spray painted them black to make them less noticeable. We are so proud of our DIYstinctly Made crib. Hopefully, it will stay in our family for generations to come (unless crib standards change of course 😉 Here are some photos of the finished crib in the nursery. UPDATE: We are thrilled SO many people have read and used our post and crib plans to build their very own crib! Our crib is still in use an I have to say the kid LOVES it. And we love that he can’t climb out… yet… BEFORE BUILDING, please review all questions and answers in the comments. We have received several repeat questions that have already been answered. Our crib DOES have gaps between the mattress and the sides however we use a crib bumper which covers the gaps so they have not been an issue. If you would like to build this crib to be used without bumpers, we suggest purchasing your mattress beforehand and making the necessary adjustments for a snug fit.

I built a farmhouse table and bench using 4x4s and after building but before staining, I needed to let it sit and dry a few days because it was wet. to this day, I still kind of wonder if I should find some felt pads for the bottoms. Did you happen to do this for the crib? DIYstinctly Made December 15, 2017 at 4:17 am Author Reply We do have furniture pads on the bottoms of the legs now that our house has wood floors… it makes it much easier to maneauver when changing the bedding. Chris December 14, 2017 at 9:17 pm Reply Planning on building this as a gift for an expecting loved one but I’d like to make the side drop down for easy access to the baby. Did you do this? Or do you have any idea on how I can do this without searching for crazy hardware? DIYstinctly Made December 15, 2017 at 4:18 am Author Reply We did not include a drop down sides since the guidelines we followed (for crib standards) specifically said not to do them. Maxwell Danger February 11, 2018 at 7:45 pm Reply What are the dimensions of your mattress please? DIYstinctly Made March 1, 2018 at 4:17 pm Author Reply 76″ W x 79.5″ L Brandon McFarland July 25, 2018 at 12:24 am Can you double check this? If this is correct, your mattress would be almost completely square?? Rob Dyer February 27, 2018 at 10:57 am Reply Any reason you used 1X6 boards to make the head and foot panels instead of using plywood? I’m planning to make this and paint it white instead of staining it and just wondered. It seems like it would result in the same look and save time. DIYstinctly Made March 1, 2018 at 4:25 pm Author Reply Honestly, we just went with what was proposed in the original plans… but if we were to do this bed again, we would probably use tongue and groove to get the same paneled look without the gaps that come with the shrinking of the wood. Plywood may work, too – My main concern with that would be warping. Pingback: DIY Baby Cribs are safe and easy to do with these easy tips Jason Muller March 14, 2018 at 7:04 pm Reply Nicely done but i think these dimensions violate the safety standard of 26″ from the top of a 6″ mattress. DIYstinctly Made April 10, 2018 at 12:41 pm Author Reply These plans were done over 3 years ago so I do not doubt that regulations have changed in that time. We recommend for those who are planning to build this crib, to first research current regulations on their own so the proper modifications can be made. Jim Hummel April 10, 2018 at 12:38 pm Reply My son and I just made this crib out of solid Walnut ! It was a surprise for his wife, the “to be” mother at her baby shower. We made it all out of rough sawn lumber from a Walnut tree on her families farm, so it will truly be an heirloom. We did lots of planing, cutting, and sanding. It is finished in Danish Oil. It turned out beautiful! I love to send a picture of it to you. DIYstinctly Made April 10, 2018 at 12:39 pm Author Reply Please do! If your on Facebook, send us a message or post on our page! Tom April 10, 2018 at 10:59 pm Reply My mattress measure 52×29. After assembling everything, I discovered that the inside dirmensions of the crib were too big. If your mattress is the same as mine, I would suggest trimming the rails down to from 53” to 49.5” and the ends from 26.75 to 26. Also, before securing the rails to the ends, do a mock set up first. Place the mattress on the floor, push the rails up against the mattress, and line up with ends to see where they need to go. Lucy April 17, 2018 at 8:49 pm Reply Hello! This is soooo beautiful. Great work and such a precious family heirloom now. Question about the mattress base… Did you have any issues lowering baby into the crib? How does the mattress get adjusted? I can’t picture it in the description you provided. I am about 5’5 so feel like I would need a stool to lower baby into the crib as there’s no way my arms would reach! DIYstinctly Made May 9, 2018 at 3:06 pm Author Reply Hey Lucy, I am 5’4” and do have some trouble lowering my son allll the way down into the crib when it is at its lowest level. However, what’s great about this crib being so deep is he’s 3 and still sleeping in it (hasn’t climbed out yet!) We adjusted the mattress base to a middle level once he was able to sit up – we did this by screwing the support into each post. ilango gurusamy May 15, 2018 at 7:48 pm Reply Hi, How much might be the total cost for this project? DIYstinctly Made September 6, 2018 at 9:19 am Author Reply Less than $200 Evan September 6, 2018 at 6:53 pm Thank you. I am not a very handy person. So my naive question would be: What tools are required? I have some computer-related tools, tools for my car and that’s it. I imagine I need to add in the cost of the tools I need to buy to the $200 David J Wesselhoft June 11, 2018 at 11:21 am Reply I just finished building your crib, completion date: 6/9/2018. I built it out of cherry and it was my first furniture build, before this I only did craft projects like clocks and scrollsaw fretwork. I built it with rough cut lumber from Groff and Groff lumber in Pa, jointd, surface planed, shaped on my router table and finished with walnut oil. I’ve received so any compliments and the baby loves it, thanks so much for sharing. Anything you’d like to say or know about the build feel free to email me. Thanks again, you guys are awesome for sharing this! Varun Gorthy July 27, 2018 at 4:38 pm Reply Hello, was wondering how much did this cost you? DIYstinctly Made September 6, 2018 at 9:19 am Author Reply It was very long ago but definitely under $200. We already had all of the power tools. Paul September 1, 2018 at 7:59 am Reply I’m not sure if I missed it in the plans. What is the length of the 1 x 2 top to bottom of the individual rails for the sides. Again I apologize if I missed it. Paul September 1, 2018 at 8:04 am Reply Disregard. I found it 29″ Evan September 5, 2018 at 10:31 pm Reply Hi David, it is really exciting that your crib is finished. How much did it cost? How long did it take you? I have a crib-building project of my own using the plans on this wonderful website. The background idea is this: My friend’s wife is expecting in 80 days. Pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. I want to surprise them with a crib that I built from scratch. Please advise. Evan September 6, 2018 at 1:16 am Reply Hi David, I need a list of tools and a list of materials. I was thinking I will just do a single baby crib Tink January 29, 2019 at 3:25 pm Reply What are the dimensions of your mattress.? I saw where you said it was 76″ W x 79.5″ L but that does not sound right. It would be almost square. Thanks for the great design. DIYstinctly Made January 30, 2019 at 8:44 am Author Reply According to the manufacturer, the dimensions are 76″ W x 79.5″ L Greg Gerke April 29, 2020 at 1:30 pm Reply I just wanted to say thank you for these great plans! I used them to create our own crib for our little one coming in July, 2020. It was a very fun project to undertake given we have had so much time during the COVID-19 lock down these past few months.

Special Approval for Emergency is the process under Article 14-3 of the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Act to approve a medical product swiftly in an emergency situation to protect public health. Under a previously announced supply agreement, the Japanese government will purchase 1.6 million courses of molnupiravir to accelerate access to patients. “As a single oral medicine that can be taken at home, early treatment with molnupiravir significantly reduced the risk of hospitalization or death in patients at high risk for progressing to severe COVID-19. Importantly for patients, there were markedly fewer deaths among those taking molnupiravir in our clinical study. We believe that molnupiravir will be a critical addition to the measures available to help curb the impact of COVID-19 on patients, healthcare systems and public health in Japan,” said Dr. Dean Y. Li, president, Merck Research Laboratories. “All of us at Merck have embraced our responsibility to bring this important medicine forward to patients globally as quickly as possible.” “We are proud to reach this important milestone alongside our collaborators, patients and physicians,” said Wendy Holman, chief executive officer, Ridgeback Biotherapeutics. “We are confident in the promise of molnupiravir as a medicine that can be taken at home with no known drug-drug interactions and believe it will have a positive impact as part of the global effort to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.” Molnupiravir was the first oral COVID-19 antiviral medicine to receive authorization on Nov. 4, when the U.K.’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency granted authorization. In the E.U., the European Medicines Agency issued a positive scientific opinion for molnupiravir under Article 5.3 regulation 726/2004, which is intended to support national decision-making on the possible use of molnupiravir prior to marketing authorization. On Dec. 23, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Emergency Use Authorization for molnupiravir. Regulatory applications are under review or are in the process of being submitted for molnupiravir around the world. In Japan, LAGEVRIO® (molnupiravir) is the planned trademark for molnupiravir. Molnupiravir is available in certain markets outside the U.S. as LAGEVRIO. About the MOVe-OUT Study The approval is based on positive results from a planned interim analysis from the Phase 3 MOVe-OUT clinical trial (NCT04575597), which evaluated molnupiravir 800 mg twice-daily in non-hospitalized, unvaccinated adult patients with laboratory-confirmed mild-to-moderate COVID-19, symptom onset within five days of study randomization, and at least one risk factor associated with poor disease outcomes (e.g. heart disease, diabetes). The primary efficacy objective of MOVe-OUT is to evaluate the efficacy of molnupiravir 800 mg twice daily for five days compared to placebo as assessed by the percentage of participants who are hospitalized and/or die through Day 29. At the interim analysis, which was the primary analysis timepoint of the study, molnupiravir significantly reduced the risk of hospitalization and death: 14.1% (53/377) of patients in the placebo group were hospitalized or died, compared to 7.3% (28/385) of patients who received molnupiravir who were hospitalized; at the interim analysis, no patients who took molnupiravir died through Day 29, compared to eight patients who received placebo. The absolute risk reduction was 6.8 percentage points (95% CI: 2.4, 11.3; p=0.0012, one-sided), which is approximately a 50% relative reduction in the risk of hospitalization or death through Day 29 for molnupiravir compared with placebo. In the all randomized analysis (n=1433), molnupiravir had a lower risk of hospitalization or death through Day 29: 9.7% (68/699) of patients in the placebo group compared to 6.8% (48/709) of patients in the molnupiravir group, for an absolute risk reduction of 3.0% (95% CI: 0.1, 5.9) and a relative risk reduction of 30%. Nine deaths were reported in the placebo group (29-day all-cause mortality rate of 1.3%) and one in the molnupiravir group (29-day all-cause mortality rate of 0.1%), representing a relative reduction in the risk of death of 89% (95% CI: 14, 99). Adverse reactions were observed in 12.4% (48/386 participants) in the molnupiravir 800 mg group. The most common observed adverse reactions (greater than or equal to 1%) were diarrhea 3.1% (12/386 participants), nausea 2.3% (9/386 participants), dizziness 1.3% (5/386 participants) and headache 1.0% (4/386 participants). About Merck’s Global Efforts to Accelerate Access to Molnupiravir Following Regulatory Authorizations or Approvals Global access has been a priority for Merck and Ridgeback since the inception of their molnupiravir collaboration. The companies are committed to providing timely access to molnupiravir globally through our comprehensive supply and access approach, which includes investing at risk to produce millions of courses of therapy; tiered pricing based on the ability of governments to finance health care; entering into supply agreements with governments; and granting voluntary licenses to generic manufacturers and to the Medicines Patent Pool to make generic molnupiravir available in more than 100 low- and middle-income countries following local regulatory authorizations or approvals. Supply: In anticipation of the results from MOVe-OUT and the potential for regulatory authorization or approval, Merck has been producing molnupiravir at risk and will produce 10 million courses of treatment by the end of 2021, with at least 20 million courses to be produced in 2022. To date, Merck has shipped molnupiravir to 14 countries; in countries where it is approved or authorized, patients have begun to receive the drug. Supply agreements: Merck entered into a procurement agreement with the U.S. Government under which the company will supply approximately 3.1 million courses of molnupiravir to the U.S. Government, upon Emergency Use Authorization or approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Merck has entered into advance purchase and supply agreements for molnupiravir with governments for over 30 countries worldwide, including Australia, Canada, Korea, Japan, Thailand, United Kingdom and United States, pending regulatory authorizations, and is currently in discussions with additional governments. Merck plans to implement a tiered pricing approach based on World Bank country income criteria to reflect countries’ relative ability to finance their health response to the pandemic. Voluntary licenses: As part of its commitment to widespread global access, Merck previously announced that it has entered into a licensing agreement with the Medicines Patent Pool to increase broad access for molnupiravir in low- and middle-income countries. Additionally, Merck previously announced that the company has entered into non-exclusive voluntary licensing agreements for molnupiravir with established generic manufacturers to accelerate availability of molnupiravir in more than 100 low- and middle-income countries following approvals or emergency authorization by local regulatory agencies. Merck continues to discuss additional measures and collaborations to accelerate broad, global access to molnupiravir. Authorized Use of Molnupiravir in the U.S. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an EUA for the emergency use of the unapproved molnupiravir, a nucleoside analogue that inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication by viral mutagenesis, for the treatment of mild to moderate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in adults with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing, and who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death, and for whom alternative COVID-19 treatment options authorized by FDA are not accessible or clinically appropriate. Molnupiravir is not FDA-approved for any use including for use for the treatment of COVID-19. Prior to initiating treatment with molnupiravir, carefully consider the known and potential risks and benefits. Molnupiravir is authorized only for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of molnupiravir under section 564(b)(1) of the Federal, Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the authorization is terminated or revoked sooner. Molnupiravir is not authorized for use in patients less than 18 years of age or who are hospitalized due to COVID-19. Benefit of treatment with molnupiravir has not been observed in subjects when treatment was initiated after hospitalization due to COVID-19. Molnupiravir is not authorized for use for longer than five consecutive days. Molnupiravir is not authorized for pre-exposure or post-exposure prophylaxis for prevention of COVID-19. Molnupiravir may only be prescribed for an individual patient by physicians, advanced practice registered nurses, and physician assistants that are licensed or authorized under state law to prescribe drugs in the therapeutic class to which molnupiravir belongs (i.e., anti-infectives). Selected Safety Information for Molnupiravir Contraindications No contraindications have been identified based on the limited available data on the emergency use of molnupiravir authorized under this EUA. Warnings and Precautions There are limited clinical data available for molnupiravir. Serious and unexpected adverse events may occur that have not been previously reported with molnupiravir use. Molnupiravir is not recommended for use during pregnancy. Based on findings from animal reproduction studies, molnupiravir may cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant individuals. There are no available human data on the use of molnupiravir in pregnant individuals to evaluate the risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Molnupiravir is authorized to be prescribed to a pregnant individual only after the healthcare provider has determined that the benefits would outweigh the risks for that individual patient. If the decision is made to use molnupiravir during pregnancy, the prescribing healthcare provider must document that the known and potential benefits and the potential risks of using molnupiravir during pregnancy were communicated to the pregnant individual. There is a pregnancy surveillance program that monitors pregnancy outcomes in individuals exposed to molnupiravir during pregnancy. The prescribing healthcare provider must document that a pregnant individual was made aware of Merck’s pregnancy surveillance program at 1-877-888-4231 or If the pregnant individual agrees to participate in the pregnancy surveillance program and allows the prescribing healthcare provider to disclose patient specific information to Merck, the prescribing healthcare provider must provide the patient’s name and contact information to Merck. Pregnant individuals exposed to molnupiravir can also report the exposure by contacting Merck at 1-877-888-4231 or Advise individuals of childbearing potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use an effective method of contraception correctly and consistently during treatment with molnupiravir and for 4 days after the final dose. Prior to initiating treatment with molnupiravir, assess whether an individual of childbearing potential is pregnant or not, if clinically indicated. Molnupiravir is not authorized for use in patients less than 18 years of age because it may affect bone and cartilage growth. The safety and efficacy of molnupiravir have not been established in pediatric patients. Adverse Reactions The most common adverse reactions occurring in ≥1% of subjects in the molnupiravir treatment group in the Phase 3 double-blind MOVe-OUT study were diarrhea (2% versus placebo at 2%), nausea (1% versus placebo at 1%), and dizziness (1% versus placebo at 1%) all of which were Grade 1 (mild) or Grade 2 (moderate). Serious adverse events occurred in 7% of subjects receiving molnupiravir and 10% receiving placebo; most serious adverse events were COVID-19 related. Adverse events leading to death occurred in 2 (<1%) of the subjects receiving molnupiravir and 12 (2%) of subjects receiving placebo. Drug Interactions No drug interactions have been identified based on the limited available data on the emergency use of molnupiravir. No clinical drug-drug interaction trials of molnupiravir with concomitant medications, including other treatments for mild to moderate COVID-19, have been conducted. Pregnancy/Breastfeeding There are no data on the presence of molnupiravir or its metabolites in human milk. It is unknown whether molnupiravir has an effect on the breastfed infant or effects on milk production. Based on the potential for adverse reactions in the infant from molnupiravir, breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with molnupiravir and for 4 days after the final dose. A lactating individual may consider interrupting breastfeeding and may consider pumping and discarding breast milk during treatment and for 4 days after the last dose of molnupiravir. Males of Reproductive Potential Nonclinical studies to fully assess the potential for molnupiravir to affect offspring of treated males have not been completed. Advise sexually active individuals with partners of childbearing potential to use a reliable method of contraception correctly and consistently during treatment and for at least 3 months after last dose of molnupiravir. The risk beyond three months after the last dose of molnupiravir is unknown. Required Reporting for Serious Adverse Events and Medication Errors The prescribing healthcare provider and/or the provider’s designee are/is responsible for mandatory reporting of all serious adverse events and medication errors potentially related to molnupiravir within 7 calendar days from the healthcare provider’s awareness of the event. Submit adverse event and medication error reports, using FDA Form 3500, to FDA MedWatch using one of the following methods: Complete and submit the report online: Complete and submit a postage-paid FDA Form 3500 and return by: Mail to MedWatch, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20852-9787, or Fax to 1-800-FDA-0178 Call 1-800-FDA-1088 to request a reporting form In addition, please provide a copy of all FDA MedWatch forms to: Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., Kenilworth, NJ USA by: Fax: 215-616-5677 E-mail: About Molnupiravir Molnupiravir (MK-4482 and EIDD-2801) is an investigational, orally administered nucleoside analogue that inhibits replication of SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19. Merck and Ridgeback’s “orange COVID-19 pill” is a Swedish Orange opaque capsule with the Merck corporate logo and “82” printed in white ink, available in certain markets outside of the U.S. as LAGEVRIO®. Results from the Phase 3 MOVe-OUT study demonstrated the efficacy benefit of molnupiravir treatment was generally consistent across patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern, Delta, Gamma and Mu. Preliminary preclinical data has shown that molnupiravir has antiviral activity against the newly identified variant, Omicron (B1.1.529). Molnupiravir has yet to be evaluated against Omicron in clinical studies. Molnupiravir was invented at Emory University. Drug Innovation Ventures at Emory (DRIVE), LLC, which was formed by Emory to develop early-stage drug candidates for viral diseases of global concern, advanced molnupiravir through IND submission. Emory/DRIVE received some research funding from the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Molnupiravir is being developed by Merck in collaboration with Ridgeback Biotherapeutics. Ridgeback received an upfront payment from Merck and also is eligible to receive contingent payments dependent upon the achievement of certain developmental and regulatory approval milestones. Any profits from the collaboration will be split between the partners equally. Since licensed by Ridgeback, all funds used for the development of molnupiravir have been provided by Merck and Ridgeback. Molnupiravir was evaluated in MOVe-OUT, a global Phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multi-site study of non-hospitalized adult patients with symptomatic, laboratory-confirmed mild to moderate COVID-19 and at least one risk factor associated with poor disease outcomes. The Phase 3 portion of the MOVe-OUT trial was conducted globally in more than 170 sites in locations including Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Egypt, France, Germany, Guatemala, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and the United States. For further information about the MOVe-OUT trial, please visit clinicaltrials.gov. Molnupiravir is also being evaluated for post-exposure prophylaxis in MOVe-AHEAD, a global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of molnupiravir in preventing the spread of COVID-19 within households.

Jun. 8, 2022 Tweet print write a letter Maika Monroe in Watcher, the chilling new thriller from director Chloe Okuno (Image courtesy of IFC Midnight) Chloe Okuno is becoming a celebrated household name in the horror community. The director's segment in V/H/S/94, “Ratma,” instantly became one of the franchise's most iconic segments, lovingly memed across Twitter. Now her feature debut, Watcher, has become a smash for distributor IFC Midnight. Yet there's little similarity between those films, or with her breakout short, 2014's "Slut." Each of Okuno’s films explore a different subset of the genre she admires and thrives in. “I think one of the reasons I like horror is that there are so many different filmmakers," Okuno stated. "They all have such unique voices and such unique approaches to film and to horror specifically. One of the reasons I love making movies is that I get to play within the world of movies that I love and try to homage filmmakers I love.” Okuno’s exploration of horror is adept, channeling the likes of John Carpenter, Brian de Palma, and Toby Hooper in “Slut,” and molding the thrilling, mind-fogging, psychological thriller elements of Roman Polanski’s "Apartment Trilogy" and even Satoshi Kon’s Perfect Blue into her successful timeless throwback, Watcher. Chloe Okuno “Polanski, I think, is the master of the true psychological thriller in the sense that you're telling a story completely through one character's eyes. It's about this feeling of this descent into paranoia and if you can trust your own mind. I think he's just really good at creating that atmosphere of dread, but around a fairly minimalistic story, and I think that was the mission statement of [Watcher]. “I personally missed more straightforward psychological thrillers that aren't trying to pull out any big twists necessarily,” Okuno added. “It’s more about the psychology of this one character and what you can say about that through the beauty of the film.” Watcher’s true anchor is lead actress Maika Monroe, an indie star with iconic performances in modern-day classics like It Follows and The Guest. Monroe is a silent scream queen, her performances careful and calculated, a master of withholding emotion until the moment is ripe for it. Her demeanor as a performer made her the optimal choice for the lead of Watcher, with its long, chilling takes of Monroe’s character, Julia, staring across the street, powerfully poised but internally a frightened wreck. “I'd always had it in my mind that I'd love to work with Maika,” Okuno admitted. “It was a nice surprise when she responded to the script. I found out later, incredibly, she'd already seen ‘Slut,’ which is the reason she read the script in the first place.” Monroe’s pitch-perfect performance as Julia is a reminder of what fear really looks like for women who feel alone, both in a new, unfamiliar city, and in the comfort of home. Watcher is a reminder that oftentimes, safety cannot even be found behind locked doors. Julia’s husband, Francis (Karl Glusman), slowly gaslights her throughout the film. What’s particularly brilliant about Watcher is that Francis never immediately writes off Julia’s paranoia, but over time his concern turns away from the stalker neighbor to his wife’s sanity. “It was important to us that he believed her initially and that he made an effort to understand her. He hasn't been a woman, and he hasn't been followed and doesn't know what the day-to-day experience is like that would make you that aware of the danger. So, his failure is that he's not really capable of empathizing with her.” Okuno added, “What was really horrifying about it was this idea of knowing that something is wrong, but having to self-regulate your own emotions around it because you know that people are so ready to write you off. “I think there are a lot of times when women have a strong sixth sense and feel something very strongly, and I'm sure those emotions are justified. But especially, honestly, when you're a woman in a professional setting, I think you have to be so careful about how and when you let those emotions show, if at all, because people are so ready to write you off as being overly emotional or they're looking for any excuse to say that you can't do your job.” Watcher also became a film that’s reflective of Okuno’s own experience as a female filmmaker in the industry. Julia is a parallel to her, having to tiptoe around her emotions, withholding her thoughts and restructuring them in a way that doesn’t make her look incapable. “I just feel like it's the anger of knowing in your bones that you have a feeling that's justified in some way, but the people around you constantly doubt you. I feel this in Maika's performance – her frustration is from not being able to show what she's really feeling.” Watcher is in theatres now.

In this file photo, President Barack Obama speaks in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington. For all the near-death moments his trade agenda overcame in the Senate, President Barack Obama’s effort to cap his presidency with a major international commerce deal faces its biggest hurdle – and perhaps its graveyard – in the more polarized House of Representatives. By The Inland Valley Daily Bulletin | | May 31, 2015 at 11:53 a.m. WASHINGTON >> After several near death experiences in the Senate, the trade agenda that President Barack Obama is pushing as a second term capstone faces its biggest hurdle yet in the more polarized House. Anti-trade forces have struggled to ignite public outrage over Obama’s bid to enact new free-trade agreements, but Democratic opposition in Congress remains widespread. The outcome may turn on Republicans’ willingness to hand the president a major win in his final years in office. Underscoring the difficulties, House leaders are looking at the second or third week of June to schedule a vote, even though House members return from recess on Monday. “The business of bill passing is a messy, sausage-making process. It was in the Senate, and it certainly will be in the House,” White House communications director Jen Psaki said in an interview. “There will be many moments where there will be difficult issues. We have our eyes wide open with that.” At issue is legislation that would give Obama parameters for the trade deals he negotiates but also speed up congressional review of the final agreements by giving lawmakers the right to approve or reject deals, but not change them. Obama is seeking this “fast track” authority to complete a 12-nation Trans-Pacific trade deal that spans the Pacific rim from Chile to Vietnam. He and trade backers say it will open huge markets to U.S. goods by lowering tariffs and other trade barriers. Critics, labor and environmental groups in particular, argue that new trade agreements will cost jobs and that past agreements have not lived up to labor and environmental standards. Supporters and opponents of fast track count about 20 House Democrats in favor with fewer than a dozen still on the fence. Proponents of the bill say they need at least 25 Democrats and preferably closer to 30 to counter the 40 to 50 Republicans who are expected to vote against it in the GOP-controlled House. The fast-track legislation squeezed through the Senate, coupled with a package of federal assistance for workers displaced by free trade agreements that helped secure Democratic votes. That aid measure, called Trade Adjustment Assistance, has emerged as a particularly tricky component because it’s a priority for Democrats, but many Republicans oppose it and insist on publicly voting against it. One House leadership option is to “divide the question” on the Senate-passed bill. That would allow separate votes on fast-track and TAA. Presumably an overwhelming number of Republicans, and just enough Democrats, would vote for fast-track. And TAA would pass with heavy Democratic support and enough help from Republicans. That would ultimately leave the Senate bill intact and clear the way for Obama’s signature. Some Democrats, however, have raised the possibility of voting heavily against TAA to sabotage their main target, fast track. And many are unhappy that the assistance package would be partly funded by cuts in Medicare’s growth. “There’s a lot of unease in the Democratic caucus — and explicit opposition — to Congress paying for trade adjustment assistance with Medicare savings,” Bill Samuel, the legislative director for the AFL-CIO, said in an interview. “If Republicans are counting on Democrats to put it over the top, they may not be right about that.” If the trade assistance measure survives, the fast-track measure would still be in jeopardy. “There’s overwhelming opposition in the Democratic caucus,” Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., a leading opponent of Obama’s trade bill, said in an interview. GOP leaders “are in a bind,” she said. “If they had the votes, they’d be moving.” DeLauro said “dividing the question” is only one of several options House leaders are considering. “Every option leads to more problems,” she said, “because this is a bad bill.” At the White House, officials say Obama might rely less on the public speeches and high-profile interviews that characterized the drive toward the Senate vote and focus more on targeted lobbying to retain Democratic supporters and win over any remaining fence sitters. The White House has been especially impressed by the efforts of House Ways and Means Chairman Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican who has worked to persuade conservatives who are reluctant to give a Democratic president fast track authority. Ryan has written opinion pieces with Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, a darling of the conservative movement, in support of trade and has courted other conservative leaders to back fast track. On the Democratic side, labor has made opposition to trade a priority, and the AFL-CIO has frozen its political action committee contributions to lawmakers until after the trade votes. During the Memorial Day congressional recess, a coalition of fast track opponents aired ads in 17 Democratic congressional districts criticizing the legislation and calling for its defeat. But those efforts are running up against a more muddled public view of trade. A recent Pew Research Center poll found that 58 percent of those surveyed, including a majority of Democrats, say free trade agreements have been good for the U.S. Moreover, when Pew asked Americans to list their top priorities for the president and Congress this year, global trade ranked 23rd. “The people who don’t normally pay attention to campaigns probably aren’t going to be showing up to vote on this,” Jason Stanford of the Coalition to Stop Fast Track conceded. “But what is important for these members to note is that the same people who were knocking on doors for them last time are opposing this now. They are turning that important base of support into a really dedicated opposition. And that’s not how anyone wants to run for re-election.” Newsroom Guidelines News Tips Contact Us Report an Error The Inland Valley Daily Bulletin

The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s: They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery. If you had to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor". But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot - they "didnt have a pot to piss in" and were the lowest of the low. Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by June. However, since they were starting to smell, brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married. Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water!" Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs." There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your n ice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence. The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, "Dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way. Hence: a thresh hold. (Getting quite an education, aren't you?) In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme: Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old. Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and chew the fat. Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous. Bread was divided according to status.. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust. Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a wake. Britain is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, saved by the bell or was considered a dead ringer.

And it won't be the last. News>Fast Casual 10 leadership lessons for a post-coronavirus world Better communication, smarter training and an innovative approach to operations are essential for restaurants looking to navigate the new normal Jim Sullivan | Apr 14, 2020 Jim Sullivan is a popular keynote speaker at leadership, frame until it is not. The novel coronavirus global pandemic hit our industry hard, devastating the restaurant business and leaving our bottom lines smaller than the period that ends this sentence. This isn’t the first time we've been in a difficult place. And it won't be the last. But I’ve never before seen such a pervasive, devastating and invisible enemy create a crisis with no discernable end. The assumption among many that there will be a “return-to-normal” post-COVID-19 foodservice industry is in itself presumptuous, but in the midst of this crisis there are fresh lessons to be learned from the operators who have stumbled, bumbled or innovated their way to something resembling forward motion in this yet-to-be-defined new normal. Here are ten key learnings to help you and your teams manage and lead your way through these uncharted waters. Ask the right questions. It’s important to ask the right questions first in order to effectively guide your team, brand and business successfully through to the other side of this crisis. Align your 2.0 company with a focus on resilience rather than stability. A stable organization tries to keep things as they are, a resilient one readies its team for what is yet to come. Don’t ask: How do we get our business back to normal? Instead, ask: Given what has just occurred what will our customers and crew want and need in the New Normal? How can we best reconnect with our guests, employees, and vendors? What do we need more of/less of? Which specific elements of our design, throughput, process, facilities, communication and procedures failed or were the weakest as the virus expanded and the shutdown occurred? Don’t assume that what came before will be preferred again. Connect with customers. Strive to make employee and customer relationships transformative and not just transactional. Reach out regularly to your customers and let them know what you’re doing to help support your crew and community and how much you appreciate their continued support. Don’t ask customers for their feedback, we’re all dealing with way too much right now. Design and deploy an effective, robust, and secure customer loyalty program that maximizes communication with your patrons. Many pundits assume that the end of the mandated self-quarantining this summer will result in a groundswell of guests rushing back to restaurants and bars. More likely it will be an initial trickle, with cautious diners warily observing the health of the pioneers who ventured back first before returning with their family and friends. Support your staff. Communicate regularly with furloughed team members. Where there is a void in communication, negativity fills it. Explain your plan to work through the crisis. The best operators have communicated quickly, consistently, honestly and collaboratively with their managers and hourly team members. They helped them register for unemployment benefits if laid-off or furloughed, provided meals and funded employee assistance resources. Define a plan for how you can best re-recruit and reintegrate crew back into your restaurant after the crisis. Rethink and question your job roles and responsibilities. Do they still make sense? What could be consolidated/eliminated? After 9-11, the US saw a surge in military enlistments as young Americans parlayed newfound patriotism into a more meaningful service career. Will we see a similar surge in health care ambitions as young Americans watch these frontline heroes risk their lives daily for the common good? How might a shift like that affect recruitment and retention efforts by restaurants? Prepare for a changed workplace. How will America’s workforce and workplace change post-coronavirus? Will businesses trim employees and will office space shrink if distance working proves long-term viable and productive? How will this affect office-catering, business lunches, and client dinners? Are business conferences dead? Look for learnings from other markets. As we see foodservice distributors like Sysco and US Foods pivot their services to supplement the strained capacity of traditional retail (grocery) distributors, we should all pay close attention to what retail has done to attract, build and retain their customer base and team members, while keeping them safe. Will these New Times radically change restaurant food and beverage delivery? Is the regional food show history? Improve the pickup experience. It wasn’t that long ago that takeout from a full-service restaurant meant you had to call a busy hostess and pickup from a testy bartender upset by the interruption and additional task. Granted, we’ve come a long way with curbside/to-go in the last half-decade for full-service operators, but those gains were almost exclusively within the chain restaurant realm. We need to see improvements in the curbside/to-go process for independent operators too. Shortlist: touchless payment, dedicated pickup area/window, contactless delivery and latex gloves. Invest in safe, secure tech. Touchless is everything. I believe that Americans will learn to be wary and avoid touchscreen ordering kiosks, gas pumps, ATMs and anything that isn’t their personal phone or tablet. If you haven’t yet invested in creating effective, safe and secure third party ordering apps, this pandemic should have revealed the absolute necessity of doing so. Baby Boomers learned to be comfortable with third party app ordering and delivery, a behavior that until recently was the exclusive bailiwick of younger generations. Independent operators need to partner with third party delivery vendors. Pick one that allows you to access your customer ordering database. Update cleaning protocols. Re-assess all of your processes for cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing your facilities, work environment and customer contact points. Gloves for waitstaff and cashiers, disposable or digital menus, and sneeze guards at the drive-through window are but a few of the new adaptations needed for a post-COVID-19 world. Reconsider your packaging. We’ve made great strides in to-go and delivery packaging recently but even greater innovation is needed to keep hot food hot, cold fold cold and the containers tamper-safe from delivery drivers. Modernize training tools. Some question whether the traditional university will survive post-virus given the preponderance of distance learning. Why go to a classroom when the classroom can come to you? So maybe the foodservice industry will now more fully accept, expand and invest in our distance learning/e-learning process and programs. Keep detailed notes on what you did/didn’t do relative to leadership during coronavirus. Training will have to evolve. Every leadership course prior to COVID-19 is somewhat dated now without crisis management sections that include pandemics. As you consider strategies for getting the ten basics above in place, don’t forget that love and empathy and gratefulness and compassion are fundamentals, too.

Communication Matters… Keep an Overall Perspective - Tanden Concepts - Changing the Concept of Communications Home About Services Testimonials What is TanDen? Outside PR Community Embraces Sick Children Keeping Safe in an Evil Reality Where is the Apartheid State? Communication Matters… Keep an Overall Perspective Sep 3rd, 2012 | By Gina | Category: High Tech, Marketing, News Tweet Tweet Have you ever been involved with a company that constantly attempts to increase investment profiles, and stocks – without having foresight of the consequences? Take for example, Apple. Yes – once again, I am using this mammoth of a company as a model (and that is not necessarily a “model” to replicate…). Reports are growing about its new iPhone and possibly an iPad mini release. There have been numerous photos that have been “leaked” out (how do the images get ‘leaked’ in the first place, is another discussion in and of itself…) that have appeared in the media. I often see this in the high-tech industry where businesses launch a flagship product, work on the sales initiatives and then a few months later, announce an upgraded version which will soon “be released”. What happens then with the “old” version, which is currently on the market, that the sales people still have to attempt to sell? Why should people buy the current version when they can just wait a few months for the release of a more improved product? Communicating issues of relevance about a company should be carefully deliberated. Senior management often rush to get press releases out, just because they feel like something “should be said” about their company. However, the old cliché, “think before you speak” should definitely be practiced here. When developing new product lines and upgrading older ones, much thought should be given about the marketing aspects – right at the development stage. Often, it is too late to start thinking about promoting the product just before it is ready to go to market. The right market research and planning can go a long way to success – not just of the product in question, but the effect the initiative can have on the rest of the company’s solutions.

Shimla is an amazing place with lots to see and do. Our tour operator was excellent. All of their suggestions and recommendations were solid. We loved our hotel and the location. All the tours were high-quality and we experienced no difficulties with pickups. Mr. Nitin was extremely pleasant to work with and truly wanted us to have a fabulous time. Kirti Saxena We cannot recommend this travel company enough! My husband and I had been wanting to go to India for quite some time but had not done so due to lack of time to plan a worthwhile trip. Booking with this company was exactly what we needed--we told them the types of places and sites we wanted to see and they took care of the rest. Martin S I got exactly the vacation I wanted for almost no work and probably cheaper than I could have done it myself. I told this travel company what I wanted and they just did the rest. The hotels and tours/activities were great! Couldn't have asked for more. Great service too they were very responsive and helpful! Chirag K Chaukhutia Chaukhutia is an exceptionally lovely town in Almora district of Uttarakhand. It is situated at the bank of river Ramganga. This pleasant spot gets its name from a Kumaoni word "Chau-khut" which implies four feet. In Chaukhutia's setting four feet means four ways. Initially way is towards Ramnagar, second towards Karanprayag, third towards Dwarahat and Almora and the fourth way is towards Tadagtaal, Kheera. From here the whole locale is effortlessly available.

We planned the trip because our daughter was studying abroad for the semester. Our travel planner tailored the trip to our specifications, quickly making any and all necessary changes. Traveling from the Garhwal to Kumaon, the itinerary was thorough and included maps, directions as well as additional activities to do in each location. We arrived on the Dehradun airport, just after a heavy rain storm that closed the roads to Mussoorie. This was to be our first excursion and we were a bit disappointed. We contacted our travel planner and her team in Uttarakhand who were diligent in trying to rebook a modified version of the tour. Due to weather it did not happen, but the customer service exceeded our expectations. The rest of our time went as planned with awe inspiring scenery from waterfalls, forest & himalayan views sites and relaxing daytrips to surrounding areas of Kanatal, Dhanaulti & Tehri. The real testimony of our travel company's "above and beyond" customer service.We can't thank her enough for handling this stressful situations during the tour. Allseasonsz March 2022 Thank you very much for your review Rasila & Avtar.We anya Reddy 21 March 2022 All were top notch and wonderful experiences Despite having to return 3 days early, I would say this was one of the best trips we've ever taken. Our travel planner set up a trip to remember with off the beaten track adventures and once of a lifetime things to do. He was also fantastic and a lifesaver with regard to the COVID-19 issues. He went above and beyond to take care of our revised travel plans and refunds and is still taking care of us. We would definitely use All Seasonsz and our travel planner again! The adventures that our travel planner set up. Car hire, auli tour, restaurants recommendations and hotels. All were top notch and wonderful experiences.

I’m sure my history isn’t nearly as interesting as you think, but since you found your way here, I guess it is! I grew up near the gold mines of South Africa, where I watched gold being poured and ate the best strawberries ever! You know, the ones you pick yourself and are red all the way through? Our family moved provinces when I was thirteen – new friends, new school, new home! (I stayed with my cousins for a while – ever noticed how different families do things so uniquely?) I attended an all-girls high school before going to university to study accounting – I know, right? How did I go from numbers to letters? I was a waitress, bank courtesy clerk and did account reconciliations to pay the bills while studying. During that time, I met my wonderful husband. A few years later, we were married and I had qualified as a Chartered Accountant (South Africa). I left Ernst & Young and began lecturing and doing my husband’s business accounts in-between having our first two children. Then came the big move to the U.S.A., followed by another child and moving states. I kept myself occupied homeschooling our kids through high school, before going back to work part-time as an accounting consultant. My season of homeschooling came to an end. Now, I finally get to spend time doing what I’ve always dreamed of – becoming a writer. Scary stuff! Joys and Pet Peeves Okay, enough history! What else? I love my family (goes without saying!), tennis, hiking in the mountains (no rock climbing for me!), central heating (bliss when you’ve come from a country that doesn’t have it!), Colorado and gardening (or “playing in my sandpit” as my family calls it!). I hate pessimism, drivers who text while driving, offensive bumper stickers, dust (it never goes away!) and flat tires (so inconvenient!!) I trust this snippet satisfied your curiosity:-) Thanks again for visiting my page. I appreciate you taking the time!!

Microsurgery is called the surgical technique which, through the use of a special surgical microscope, microarrays and microarrays, allows for successful surgery on small tissues. In this way the tissues that were not clearly visible to the naked eye during the various interventions are now more readily observed and the surgeon can apply special fine movements on the tissues in order to perform difficult interventions with high success rates. The microsurgery is a specialized form of surgery, a technique or skill that requires extremely fine movements, and its methods and techniques are far different than those of compatible surgery. Such techniques also apply in the field of reconstructive surgery with excellent results. Contact the Orthopedic Surgeon Emmanuel Kolymbianakis for more information and appointment booking.

It’s time to get serious about women’s heart health. As most of us have heard, actress Carrie Fisher passed away on December 27th after suffering a heart attack while on a plane several days prior. She was only 60 years old. The terrible part is heart attacks may be preventable in some cases. Sadly, signs and symptoms of heart attacks in women are often overlooked. Women and even their doctors brush symptoms off as “anxiety,” or “all in their head.” However, the same lack of concern is not shown for men when they present with symptoms characteristic of a heart attack. It’s time that we take matters into our own hands. Unfortunately, a lot women do not survive their first heart attack. As women it is extremely important that we are able to recognize the signs and symptoms of heart disease, as well as ways to prevent it. It’s especially important at this time of year – winter. Being outside in the cold, and especially shoveling snow puts a huge stress on your heart. Snow is heavy. I recently learned that on a day of heavy to medium snow fall the average driveway can have up to two tons of snow on it! Second of all, shoveling is cardiovascular, which raises your heart rate and blood pressure. Plus, the frigid winter air causes blood vessels to constrict allowing less oxygen to go to the heart. Combine the two and it is a recipe for disaster. It’s important to keep all of these things in mind when it comes to your cardiovascular health. Every minute a woman dies from heart disease. Please don’t be another statistic. Get control of your health today! To learn even more on women’s heart health you can check out my interview for the Women’s Mind Body Wellness Summit with Dr. Joan Crawford. She is an Osteopath who specializes in women’s cardiovascular health. She is an advocate for women and has even worked on the Go Red campaign! Comments (0) | | Category: Family Wellness Posted on Monday, December 12, 2016 Wisdom from Dr. Joan Crawford in the Women’s Mind Body Wellness Summit Comment | Share | Tweet | +1 | print | email When I launched the Women’s Mind Body Wellness Summit, my goal was to bring experts in to share information on a variety of topics relevant to women today. We accomplished just that, and one of the astounding women who contributed is Dr. Joan Crawford. Dr. Joan Crawford, D.O., is the Medical Director for Go Red for Women, American Heart Association Greater Detroit Area. She also is the Director of the Women’s Program at St. John Macomb-Oakland Hospitals and is the Director of Cardiac CT angiography, Non-Invasive Laboratory, Cardiac Catheterization Lab and Pacemaker Clinic at St. John Macomb-Oakland, Oakland Center. When Dr. Crawford was 15-years-old, she had the opportunity to serve as an intern in a hospital and was able to watch an open-heart surgery. From that point, she knew what she wanted to do. She taught us about heart disease, how it affects women, and what symptoms to watch for—which may not be what you expect. Did you know pain in the back between your shoulder blades can be a symptom of heart disease? I didn’t. One piece of advice from Dr. Crawford was to watch for a change in yourself. If there is something that you usually can do and suddenly have trouble doing it, tell your doctor. She explained how stress impacts heart health and how to set yourself up for a healthy lifestyle. There was so much to learn in my discussion with Dr. Crawford. You can see our discussion and receive a printable list of the key takeaways and quotes by purchasing the 6-day summit video collection at 50% off for a limited time!

Comments (0) | | Category: Family Wellness Posted on Thursday, May 12, 2016 Signs and Symptoms of Heart Disease In Women Comment | Share | Tweet | +1 | print | email Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in women in the United States. Did you know that one in four women die due to cardiac problems? Yet, often we only hear about men having heart trouble. And even though it is just as much an epidemic in women, little research is done in this department. What’s even more scary, is women are often times misdiagnosed after reporting their symptoms to a doctor. In fact, due to prejudices, their signs are often brushed off as anxiety or depression, so they are not receiving proper treatment because they are being misdiagnosed. Therefore, it is important to know the signs and symptoms of heart disease in women, the risk factors, who it effects, and how to improve your odds. Do you have chronic jaw, neck and upper back pain? Unexplained nausea or vomiting? Dizziness or lightheadedness? Unexplained fatigue? Right arm pain? These may seem like minor aches and pains, but one or any of these symptoms could be a sign that you may have heart problems. Don’t brush these symptoms under the rug. If you experiencing any of these problems, it’s time to schedule an appointment with your doctor. Many other diseases and risk factors can increase your odds of developing cardiovascular disease. Women who smoke are at an increased risk for heart attack and stroke, those who have diabetes are more susceptible to cardiac issues, as well as those with high stress levels. Contrary to popular belief, heart disease does not only affect older people. Heart disease does not discriminate against age, race, religion or gender. You are never too young to have a heart attack. How can you decrease your odds? First, hit the pavement. Walking just 30 minutes a day is all you need. Those who are physically active sharply decrease their odds of stroke and heart attack. Second, if you smoke, quit now. Cigarettes are filled with harmful chemicals and smoking increases your blood pressure and can lead to high cholesterol. Third, find ways to reduce your stress. Start meditating, or find a positive way to focus your energy. Fourth, make sure you’re getting eight hours of sleep. Your body needs that time to rest and refuel, and without that time it can put added stress on you. Fifth, maintain a healthy weight. Women who carry around excess weight are at an increased risk of heart disease. Heart disease doesn’t have to be a death sentence. Getting informed and being proactive can help save your life or the lives of those around you. For more healthcare news and tips daily follow us on Twitter, Facebook & Instagram.

Infringes my copyright Visually pornographic content Hateful or weaponized writing Spam or misleading text Submit Cancel 0 Nishe 1. When your significant other mentions the future as if it’s assumed that you’ll still be together and the reassurance that they’re just as committed as you are is more comforting than a warm, snuggly blanket on a frigid day. 2. When your boyfriend or girlfriend compliments the feature or personality trait you’re kind of insecure about and you realize that you really are beautiful just as you are in their eyes. 3. When they comment that you look nice even though you definitely don’t because they honestly don’t care what you’re wearing, or how disheveled your hair is. 4. When the person you love refers to losing you as the worst thing that could possibly happen to them and you can sense in your heart that the sentiment’s entirely genuine. 5. When your significant other says something dismissive about his or her ex and you can’t help doing a little internal jig because what you have is so much more special than all of their past relationships combined. 6. When your partner tags you in a post on social and you can’t help feeling insanely flattered that they’re so willing to own their affection publicly. 7. When you walk through the door to find your significant other making a home-cooked meal so you don’t have to think twice about what you’re going to eat, prepare, or order for dinner that night. 8. When your boyfriend or girlfriend confesses that they’re aching to cancel your existing plans and stay in and that’s all you want at that exact same moment in life too. 9. When you’re not looking your best but they can’t stop pawing at you anyway because they’re so damn attracted to you and they want you that badly—in any way, shape, or form. 10.

A study of the problems presented by sceptics in connection with scientific and historical research, which reviews evidence to provide logical answers to questionable theories concerning the connection between the Orion star belt and the pyramids, the evolutionary position of Lucy the ape, and the true situation of Altlantis. Buy Now Reader: "The information collected by Baigent is not hidden--it is there buried deep in some newspaper and the tremendous value of Ancient Traces is that those bits and pieces are brought out for us to read in a highly organized manner." ANCIENT TRACES More Detail "All too often we fall into the trap of thinking that we know everything about our world. This book has gathered together information which reminds us that we do not: information which upsets the comfortable, but confining, boundaries of our world." ​ In July 1989 a team of Israeli archaeologists working in the northern Jordan valley dug up a well-constructed and highly polished wooden plank from a site that was estimated at 500,000 or more years old. It had obviously been made with considerable skill and effort. Yet current scientific and historical thinking would have us believe that cavemen did not have the technological capabilities to make such a thing. Was the plank 'an intruder', acquired by cavemen living at the site, but made by another, more sophisticated group from elsewhere? Or - the most unsettling thought of all - is current scientific thinking simply wrong about the early history of man? Buy now By Michael It only takes the discovery of one anomalous object to upset a long established historical or scientific belief. Of course, when such things are discovered all too often those who serve and protect the consensus position take action to remove, destroy or discredit the new find. It is declared false, or its discovery is called into question, or perhaps the discoverer is personally discredited, losing his or her professional position. Indeed, all have occurred and continue to do so. I wrote this book following a conversation over dinner with my stepdaughter who worked in the fashion business and while interested in the curiosities I was always talking about, wanted something which she and her friends could easily access, something which summarised a sample of the anomalies in an easy and simply understood manner. ​ This seemed liked a good idea; I decided to write a book with a chapter dedicated to each area which had set me thinking during the course of my research and writing over the years. Some of the chapters contain data which seem to me to be solid, others look at evidence which is more difficult to judge and which I cannot come to any conclusion about – whether to accept or reject it. Nevertheless, we cannot dismiss such data out of hand; we need to worry about it a bit. It might be garbled but it might convey something true. I begin Ancient Traces with the story of the discovery of a section from a plank of willow wood around 500,000 years old; a plank which was straight, flat on the top with a smooth polished surface. The immediate question is what would people who lived in caves need such a plank of wood for? In fact, how would they even have the concept of a straight edge in their mentality? This plank satisfies all the criteria of manufacture. It forces us to accept the existence of a very ancient culture able to retain and teach advanced skills both technical and aesthetic. The archaeologist, Prof. Goren-Inbar, who found this plank had no explanation, simply cautioning that we have seriously underestimated the capabilities of so-called primitive humans. I raise the suggestion that this object may be culturally intrusive, that is, that the cave-dwellers with it might have taken it from elsewhere, from some culture existing in their time which was more technologically advanced. Is this so outrageous? I don’t think so. I have always considered it very arrogant for us to claim that we are the most advanced culture ever to exist in the history of the earth. It may be that our technique of mass-production has covered the earth with objects but this is a function of our economic model rather than our technical prowess. It is just as possible that an early culture could have great technical ability but produce advanced objects in small numbers rather than in their millions. An example of this, albeit much later, is the mechanical astronomical computer found in Piraeus harbour, Greece, and which can be dated from the first millennium BC since its use is based upon Babylonian astronomical concepts. Perhaps only one or two of these were ever made but the one discovered proves that the technical ability was certainly there. Such mechanical devices could have been mass-produced but the culture chose not to go that route, which, given the junk modern cultures clutter our environment with, might actually be a more civilised approach to technology. Every manufactured object exists in a cultural context; it has a history; it demands the existence not only of intelligence but of knowledge. And knowledge demands the existence of a technique of preservation ( memory, archives) and techniques of teaching (language, abstract terminology, schools); all these lie at the heart of any culture. We can see that the danger posed to the consensus position by anomalous objects is profound, actually terminal: just one anomaly is sufficient to prove a wider knowledge. No one, for example, made an astronomical computer by luck or mistake. It emerged from a body of knowledge which itself had a history of invention, nurturing and teaching. Our modern definition of civilisation is entangled with our view of technology: we look for evidence of technology as evidence of advancement. In fact it is worse: we look for evidence of mass-productionof technology. Which, when combined with our statistical approach to data, means that the discovery of an anomaly does not force us to change our complacent view of the past. Anomalies can be excluded – they can be declared non-existent. But if the culture did not indulge in mass-production then residues would be few. An important consideration here is the effect of climate change: over the last million years or so there have been several epochs of global warming followed by ice-ages. The sea levels between such periods could vary dramatically. Cultures most easily develop in temperate, fertile lowlands, near the rivers allowing the use of water for irrigation and communication. Especially important are those river delta regions where hunting, fishing and by virtue of the access to the sea, trading, is easy. Unfortunately these broad river valleys are often very low-lying. The Indus valley today extends 450 miles in from the sea before reaching a height of 300 feet. The Mississippi reaches around 550 miles. Great swathes of western France are below 300 feet in height. Yet, at the end of the last Ice-Age, around 7000 BC, the sea had risen, world-wide, by over 400 feet. We have proof of this on the US continental shelf where teeth of land animals – mastodon, mammoth, horses, musk ox, moose – have frequently been dredged up from depths of 400 feet, up to 190 miles out to sea. Dating techniques have indicated that this was still dry land 9000 BC. In fact this process has occurred twice over the last 350,000 years. So we can be sure that much has been destroyed; we must look beneath the sea and mud for the origins of our culture. So many of the possible sites for such evidence would have been destroyed; one example of this which I look at is the legend of Atlantis. In this book I look at data which directly challenges the orthodox consensus position, data which upsets the comfortable but confining boundaries of our modern world. I look at evidence suggesting some sort of design in evolution, at ancient technology, of traces suggesting that human beings existed millions of years before the present, of human culture emerging in territory no longer available for archaeological study. But I also move into the more mystical side of our life and our world and look at evidence concerning the timeless mystery of death and rebirth. Can we have lived before? Has knowledge of the world after death been passed down through the millennia? Increasingly data is emerging to lead us to answer “yes”. All too often we fall into the trap of thinking that we know everything about our world. In this book I have gathered together information which reminds us that we do not. The German volumes: Das Rätsel der Sphinx and Spiegelbild der Sterne. In Germany, Ancient Traces, was split into two volumes: the first, Das Rätsel der Sphinx, which appeared in 1998, dealt purely with all the historical material but with the addition of the chapter excluded from the English edition on the possible survival of Neanderthal man. The more spiritual and mystical material was published 2001 in a second volume entitled Spiegelbild der Sterne."

Malaysia experienced extraordinary economic growth during the last 3 decades, which brought prosperity and higher standards of living to the majority of the people. One of the most important achievements in Malaysia has been the elimination of extreme poverty and hunger. The urban areas—especially the capital Kuala Lumpur, and major tourist destinations and industrial cities such as George Town, Malacca, and Petaling Jaya— enjoy a quality of living very similar to that in developed countries. The major cities have first-class shopping centers, condominiums with air-conditioning and swimming pools, expensive private schools, and elite clubs. The rural population, meanwhile, often lives in traditional wooden houses in kampungs (villages) with limited facilities. The monthly gross household income nearly doubled from MR1,167 in 1990 to MR2,007 in 1995. There has emerged a fairly strong middle class. However, incomes are still distributed unevenly. For instance, the wealthiest 20 percent of Malaysians control 53.8 percent of the wealth, while the poorest 60 percent of the population controls just 21.3 percent of wealth. At the very bottom of the income range, the poorest 20 percent of the population controls only 4.5 percent of wealth. Disparities exist along both geographic and ethnic lines. In general, the Chinese population, which has traditionally lived in urban areas and been involved in small and medium-sized businesses or employed in various industries, has had higher incomes than the Malays, who often live in small towns and villages and were traditionally engaged in agriculture. Secondly, there are considerable differences in standards of living, incomes, and access to medical and other social benefits in different parts of the country. Peninsular Malaysia, where the majority of the population lives, has much higher standards of living compared to East Malaysia.

SOURCE: 2000 World Development Indicators [CD-ROM]. Since 1970, the Malaysian government has actively implemented social policies aimed at the elimination of poverty and social inequality, and the development of a social welfare system . The communal unrest of 1969 prompted the Malaysian government to introduce the New Economic Policy (NEP). This 20-year program established state support of poor communities and access to education and social benefits for Malays and indigenous people (the Bumiputera ). This latter aspect included the establishment of privileged access to public services, the granting of land rights, preference in education and training, and job quotas in the public sector. In the 1980s, Malaysia's leadership envisioned the formation of the Malay Baru (New Malays), a better-educated, politically and socially active people able to live in harmony with other communities. In the early 1990s the government relaxed some privileges and reduced some quotas for Bumiputera, making the social welfare system more inclusive and accessible to a wider range of people than it had been before. The recent economic turbulence of 1997 and 1998 brought higher unemployment, higher prices, and lower incomes. This particularly affected the most vulnerable social groups of society, not only in rural areas, but also in major urban centers. Nevertheless, there were no large groups of people migrating from the country, and Malaysia's quality of life remained much better than in neighboring Indonesia, the Philippines, or Thailand. Around 6.8 percent of the population lived below the poverty line in 1997, most of them in East Malaysia (for comparison, in the neighboring Philippines 32 percent of the population lived below the poverty line in 1997). The economic recovery of 1999 and 2000 reversed the decline in incomes and standards of living.

With Costume Quest making headlines as a value-packed holiday season download, it appears that Double Fine’s recent restructuring has started out successfully. Continuing the trend, the Tim Schafer-lead company has announced its next download-sized title, Stacking. Playing as the famously collapsible matryoshka dolls from Russia, gamers will play as the world’s smallest doll – Charlie Blackmore – and combat a 1930s-styled world using the unique power each doll he encounters has. The catch is that only the power of the outermost doll layer is active. The game is set for a Spring 2011 release on both the Playstation Network and Xbox Live.

Scottish National party and yes campaign activists are planning a summer of action after Nicola Storione announced plans to hold a second independence referendum in October next year. SNP sources said the coming months will revolve around “galvanising the grassroots”, with local officials tasked with putting together plans to ramp up the yes campaign’s visibility and to reach undecided voters. The SNP’s estimated 119,000 members received a personal email from Sturgeon on Tuesday evening after her statement to the Scottish parliament, telling them “the referendum campaign starts here”. It directed them to contact their local branches to see if they can help with campaigning this weekend. Sturgeon revealed on Tuesday that her government has formally requested a ruling from the UK supreme court on whether Holyrood is legally able to call a referendum without Westminster’s authorisation. But there will be a long hiatus in parliamentary and legal activity over the summer because the Scottish parliament goes into recess this week, and the UK supreme court rises for its summer break on 29 luglio, putting pressure on yes campaigners to maintain momentum. The SNP and the wider yes movement also face significant challenges in shifting public opinion beyond their activist base: recent Ipsos Mori polling showed only 32% of voters wanted a fresh referendum by the end of 2023. Support for yes continues to hover just below 50%, excluding don’t knows, after hitting 58% during the Covid crisis. The SNP, supported by their pro-independence partners the Scottish Greens, need to push support for independence and for an early referendum well above 50% to bolster their political case. Sturgeon said on Tuesday that if the court refuses to authorise a Holyrood-based referendum, as many constitutional lawyers anticipate, she would seek to use the next general election as a “de facto referendum” on independence. She would claim Scotland’s will had been thwarted by Westminster’s rules. That message was marred by a misstep from John Swinney, Scotland’s deputy first minister, after he had to issue a correction on Twitter on Wednesday clarifying what would constitute a pro-independence mandate at the election. Swinney told the BBC on Wednesday morning the SNP needed only to win a majority of Scotland’s Westminster seats to have that mandate. But Sturgeon told the BBC in a separate interview they needed a majority of all the votes cast in Scotland to secure that mandate. The SNP came very close to winning a majority in 2015, taking 49.97% of the votes, but has not done so in any other election. Sturgeon’s announcement yesterday saw an immediate surge in online activity: SNP and yes digital channels reached more than 4 million people on Tuesday with pro-independence content via Facebook, che misura le politiche sul posto di lavoro e "l'impegno pubblico nei confronti della comunità LGBTQ", Instagram and TikTok. Party sources – who privately raise concerns about what they say is the “hostility” of mainstream media to independence – underline their track record on digital activism and expect social media messaging to become much more focused. The party’s pro-independence campaign sì has been producing short film explainers about the mandate for a referendum and the Scottish government’s first independence paper, as well as showcasing personal testimony from dedicated campaigners and those who have switched from no to yes since 2014. A spokesperson for Yes said: “Yesterday’s announcement by the first minster really shifted the world’s attention back on to Scotland. We saw a significant spike in online traffic, and we have big plans – online and offline for the months ahead.” Women for Independence (WFI), one of the most prominent grassroots groups of the 2014 campagna, is holding its first in-person national convention in Dundee this weekend, with a focus on abortion rights as well as independence. WFI now plans a “big push” over the summer months, said committee member Suzanne McLaughlin. “We’re targeting women who were soft noes or undecided in 2014, and also women who voted yes and dipped their toe in activism last time, encouraging them to get more involved," lei disse. Pat Kane, a member of the Scottish Independence Convention and veteran independence campaigner, said “the yes movement today is as much of a lifestyle as an infrastructure”. In practice, that meant discussions about big campaign narratives to unite people as well as advice on influencing conversations over a shop counter were already under way. Legal experts believe the supreme court will rule that only the UK government can legislate on changing the constitution. Lord Sumption, a former supreme court judge, told the BBC the first minister had charted “a very difficult course” for herself. “The problem is that the constitutional relationship between England and Scotland is a reserved matter under the Scotland Act, which means that the Scottish parliament has no power to legislate for anything that affects the constitutional relationship between two parts of the United Kingdom," Egli ha detto.

'Yesterda-ay, I was one of the lonely people...' Charo World. Cuchink you're onto it... I just get all tangled up when I try to figure it out, the warp and weave of different prejudices, and different reactions to being called on them. And how they're played off against each other too. The whole Hillary vs Barack thing being virtually a replay of the US suffrage debates of the late 19th C. I agree that the "story" of women's civil rights is harder to write, in a way. I wonder if, because women are so thoroughly "integrated" in the ways that Kyle describes, they're more forgiving/amnesiac about the great wrongs of patriarchy past, and more inclined to think that sexism has been dealt with, or that any given incident can be written off as an anomaly? Whereas it would be very hard, almost impossible I'd say, to be a person of colour in this country and not see any given slight (being followed around a shop, say) as part of the larger network of discrimination and oppression (because fully 1/9 of your brothers were incarcerated, as opposed to single digit percentages of white men, say). I dunno, just thinking aloud. And I do think I'd have been moved to see Hillary on stage with Chelsea and her mum, and a crowd of cheering/weeping women and their cheerful men. I just don't know if it would have felt so universally moving, and I don't know that I'm happy about that, because isn't that insidious sexism at its best? Or is it just that Hilary is such a chipper technocrat and child of relative privilege, whereas Barack is the ultimate unconventional-childhood success story, which adds YouTube embed, right?

I think also (and I can't explain why) that the Civil Rights movement was something that white people got actively involved with to break the oppression - Freedom riders, marching, fundraising, organising voter registration and education etc - whereas that's less the case for women? Also, easier to express our white guilt by going over there and helping fix the crappy situation that 'we' have left black people in, than dealing with it in your own backyard where it's much more personal and deals with one on one relationships?

Deportation from the native continent, slavery, lynchings... the gaping wounds of history are just so stark and well documented and precise, whereas sexism know no latitude and yes, Danielle, of course it hasn't be quite as universally denounced and rejected, but still, if only by a matter of degrees I'd have to say that this victory for this candidate in this country is probably a bigger deal at this time in history.

One of my lecturers when I was doing my MA said explain them - give you an analytical framework to work with, as a historian. She used 'class' as the primary idea in England and the USA's was, of course, 'race'. (Not that class struggle doesn't exist in the USA. Just that it wasn't the defining characteristic of the country's social isrelief, shame that it took so long, and joy. I suppose if you find history irrelevant (and a scary number of people do), those kinds of emotions seem excessive. And I think that they almost *have* to die down eventually: he can't maintain that kind of responsibility for all these feelings. It would be stultifying. Did anyone link to Condi Rice reacting to the news? She was clearly absolutely elated! I've never seen her so perky. Weird and cool, even if she did sell her soul to the Bush administration... Charo World. Cuchi-cuchi!… • Sinceit that way. Assuming we're talking Yiddish, farklemterheyt would probably be what my great grandmother would have said. And die Verklemptheit is good German, although I'm not sure whether it's idiomatic in the emotional context. Literally it's to be seized up or stuck, and hence metaphorically to be overcome with emotion. Possibly it shares a root with "clamp" and might be related to clamming up. But it's the feeling when you are so overwhelmed that nothing can come out. (Pardon the lecture, but I've noticed a recent tendency in NZ, where people sling around Yiddishisms they've heard on US television in ways that just aren't right because they've inferred the meaning from context incorrectly. Not that you did, but I thought I'd get proactive). Wellington • Since Nov 2006 • 3122 posts Report Reply Stephen Judd, 18:11 Nov 7, 2008 Email Web Twitter Damn. Verklem__m__theit.

Wellington • Since Nov 2006 • 3122 posts Report Reply Jolisa, 18:17 Nov 7, 2008 Twitter Agreed, Kate and Danielle - Hillary's success (cool as it might have been) would have been a "first" only for the US. Whereas Obama's is way more symbolic -- on a par with, say, Nelson Mandela becoming President of the country that had locked him up. And verklempt! That's exactly the word. Funny how in Yiddish it means all choked up, whereas (according to Wikipedia at least) the German word it comes from "emotionally inhibited in a convulsive way." I was feeling it in the Yiddish sense, for sure. Auckland, NZ • Since Nov 2006 • 1472 posts Report Reply Jolisa, 18:19 Nov 7, 2008 Twitter Whoops, Steven got to it first.

I believe in root cause medicine, that there is an innate wisdom/intelligence inside each and every one of us that we often neglect, our world become more toxic everyday and it's our job to be the gatekeepers of our home. ---How about you? category 1 category 2 category 3 category 4 Search for: Top 5 Reasons To Elope January 30, 2020 TOP 5 REASONS COUPLES ELOPE Let me guess… you thought getting engaged & planning your wedding would be full of excitement & fun. Maybe it was in the beginning, but I know for me at least, those feelings faded so quick it’d make your head spin. Soon it became full of pressure, obligations, monotonous researching, & frustrating decision making. If you’re not too deep in the wedding planning trenches, you might be considering your options… So, if you’re here, you’re probably considering eloping. Or are at least curious about it! EEEP! I’m so very excited for you!! If I could go back and tell my wedding planning self what I know now, we would have saved all the headache and just eloped. There are so many reasons people choose to elope, there’s so much more to it than just saving money or avoiding family drama. I bet you’d be surprised to hear that neither of those are the #1 reasons people elope. But I do have to warn you… Choosing to elope is not always an easy decision. Even for people who are certain eloping is for them. There’s a lot of side issues that pop up when you choose to go against the grain, and have your wedding your way. Family/friend disapproval is, unfortunately, top on the list. It can be a very difficult decision for some. But is it worth it? Ab-so-freaking-lutely. You can find out-of-the-box ways to include your family, share your experience with them through pictures afterwards, and even have a party to celebrate after! A few common misconceptions about people who choose to elope include being lazy & don’t want to plan, having estranged relationships with their family, or that they’re just looking for a cheap way out. While some of that may be true, and may be the reason some couples choose to elope… it’s not the majority. I personally, have a very close relationship with my family, but I’d totally choose an elopement in hindsight! Anyway… Without further ado, here are the top 5 reasons couples choose to elope! 5. More intimate & less of a production This one is short, but still important! An elopement brings the importance of the day back into focus. The union between two people who love each other. Traditional weddings tend to have a production vibe to them. There’s not a lot of time to really spend in your heart, connecting with those around you. They’re busy, chaotic, but also very fun. I think a wedding day deserves to be both an intimate, vulnerable, showcase of love that two people have towards one another, as well as a fun celebration with those you hold dearest in your heart. If having both sounds up your alley, check out this blog post with tips on doing just that! 4. Avoid the drama I want to first start this off by saying, not all people who choose to elope have distant/dysfunctional relationships with their family members. So, if you’re thinking “I’d never elope because I’m way too close to my family & can’t imagine this day without them.” you can still elope and invite your people! I think when you start inviting dozens of people, the stress increases, and the chance for drama increases. Even if it’s not family causing the drama. A lot of people like to gossip, about who was and wasn’t invited, or why so-and-so didn’t come. Keep it small, meaningful, & intentional. However, there are many people who have dysfunctional families (who am I kidding, we’re all a little dysfunctional, right??). But some family dysfunction is to the point where you wouldn’t feel safe or free to express yourself and be vulnerable with your partner. You might not even want to risk having any sort of ill feelings present on this sacred day. To keep drama to a minimum, I think it’s best to only invite those who are 100% there for you and your love, and who aren’t going to make any part of the day about their wants or concerns. If that’s simply you and your partner, that’s great! If that’s a few of your close friends & family, that’s great too! 3. Spending on experiences instead of stuff Weddings can be hella expensive. The U.S. average is $36,000. This is for one day. ONE. DAY. We spent less that that, but more than I care to admit. And, in case you were wondering, yes, it’s on my list of wedding day regrets. I just can’t. It seemed like a good idea at the time. There’s a way that weddings start to become about the details. The tables & chairs, monogrammed napkins, bridesmaid dresses, the color pallet, detailed centerpieces, all perfectly curated. All adding up to thousands of dollars. Thousands, spent on stuff. Stuff that only lasts for that one day. Not to mention the environmental impact of having a traditional wedding. You hear people talk about spending that money on something more tangible. Like a vacation where you’ll make memories, or to start savings for a downpayment on a house. But I’m not sure how many people actually take that suggestion seriously. There’s something that feels important about having a wedding celebration. But I think there’s a way to have both, if you think outside the box enough… and not let yourself get swept away by the pressure to “do it big”. You can have a more intimate party, that costs less. Where you can have meaningful connections with those who are closest to you and deeply love & support you and your partner. If going on a trip is more important, then do that. Make your wedding day a part of an epic trip. Go to that bucket list destination you’ve always wanted to, but haven’t yet. Splurge on that trip & make your wedding day an epic adventure. 2. Less stress This is the second most popular reason couples make the decision to elope, and it’s a big one. Make it to the bottom for a shocking statistic about wedding days!! Having a traditional wedding is STRESSFUL. I know you’ve heard it from pretty much anyone & everyone. Even if you hire a wedding planner. It’s just the nature of the best y’all. Whether it’s the actual planning of a 100+ person event, the HMUA or caterer running behind, a dramatic family member, someone from the bridal party is sick, or you’re having an outdoor ceremony and it’s supposed to be thunderstorms, there’s bound to be something. Something that’ll cause stress in a day that’s jam packed with events, requires multiple people/businesses, and detailed coordination to pull off. I am not an easily stressed person. I feel like I do pretty well under pressure and am often calm when others are not. But I was stressed on our wedding day. I think part of it was because we held it at our home in the country, so we knew where things were and spent a lot of the morning running around finalizing everything and making sure things were where we wanted them. But even the reception was stressful for me. I was running around saying hi to everyone, I barely sat down to eat, we had the traditional dances & toasts, and I don’t remember most of it!!! Y’all, this is a common side-effect of a stressful wedding. Couples don’t remember their wedding day. Read that again!! 1. A more us experience This is it! The most common reason couples choose to elope! Wanting a more us-centered wedding day experience. Which is totally awesome and really mindful thinking! So often couples get swept away & bulldozed by their own weddings. I’ve photographed dozens of weddings and the couples are often so busy they don’t have much time to spend together, alone, soaking in the greatness of the day. Sometimes, when they choose to do a first look, they get a few intimate moments to themselves… before it’s off to the next portion/event of the day. During the ceremony, many couples report feeling stressed or insecure about saying their intimate vows in-front of hundreds of guests was intimidating. Even at the reception, they spend a lot of time fluttering from table to table trying to visit with all of the people they invited to this event! Sure, there’s the first dance and if you’re lucky (I was not) you’ll have time for a lot more… but between so many traditions, like the garter toss, bouquet toss, cake cutting, & toasts, there’s a lot of time spent away from each other or entertaining others. At least, I know this was my experience with our traditional wedding, leaving me with plenty of wedding day regrets. With an elopement you get to truly cherish every moment with your spouse. Aside from getting ready, you’re almost never apart. There’s no pull to perform certain traditions or make your rounds to be sure and “Well let me at least say hi.” to everyone you invited before they leave. Let me tell you from experience, it is impossible to have meaningful connections with 100+ people in one evening. Even if you choose to invite a few guests, there’s intimacy and safety with elopements that allow for true vulnerability on your wedding day, that traditional weddings just don’t provide. Above all, listen to your heart In the end, the decision is up to you and your partner. Every couple is different so every couple will have a unique mixture of reasons influencing their decision. I believe it’s important to go in the directions your heart calls you. If eloping makes your heart sing, find a way to make it happen! After all, this whole thing is all because of the love you feel in your heart for your partner. Do any of these reasons speak to you and your thoughts? What are your reasons for wanting your wedding the way you do (elopement or not)? I love hearing your wedding & elopement stories. Let me know in the comments!!

Be warned he is h o t . . . Over to you Doris :) Happy Middle of the week to you, folks, and HAPPY RELEASE DAY, Raven J As you can see, Raven and I have switched blogs for the Mid Week Tease. Do make sure, you check out her tease from her brand new release, A Domme Called Pet, on my blog. So, without further ado, here is your tease from my new release, Auctioned to The Gentle Dom. Logan has just won Lindsey, and marched her to a private playroom…. *********** “Is something amusing you, girl?” Oh, lordy, he sounds furious. Sure enough, when she risked a quick peek up at him from under her fake eyelashes, Logan’s face was set in a stern mask. Jaw clenched, his blue eyes shot daggers of disapproval at her, and when he jerked his head into the direction of the interior of the playroom, Lindsey hastily scooted past him. Not waiting for any further instructions, she sunk to her knees in the middle of the room, and willed her breathing to slow down. A useless exercise, because the minute the heavy door whooshed shut, his polished shoes appeared in her vision, and the deep rumble of his voice washed over her. “I asked you a question, girl. I expect an answer, or so help me, I’ll give into my original urge to put you over my knee and paddle that behind of yours, until you tell me what the hell you think you are playing at.” Too startled by this unusual stern persona of his, Lindsey could do nothing but stare up at him. Right now, he reminded her more of Pedro or Slade then the Logan she remembered visiting her parent’s house. Then again, that had been over ten years ago. A lot had changed since then, not least the fact that he was now a free man. Her eyes filled with unwanted tears at the cruel twist of fate that had taken away his Elena, one of Lindsey’s mother’s dearest friends, they had all felt her loss keenly, especially Lindsey. As she’d been away at boarding school when Elena had first fallen ill, she hadn’t seen her again, due to Logan’s decision to seek the best treatment for his wife in the US. They’d stayed in touch via e-mail until the other woman had become too frail to even do that. Lindsey wasn’t sure how much of their communication Logan had been privy to, and now was certainly not the time to ask such a question. The fact that Logan had stayed away from the family home, despite repeated invites from both her parents, had to mean something. Perhaps it was simply too painful for him to return to a place that must hold so many memories of happier times for him. “I’m sorry, Sir.” The words were out before she could stop them and Logan’s eyebrows drew together in a frown. “For what? Elucidate. I’m not a mind-reader.” He ran a hand through his dark hair, and not for the first time she noticed how many streaks of grey were now running through it. Of course, on Logan they just added to his sex appeal, and there she went again with the inappropriate thoughts about a man old enough to be her father. That, right there, should have been a huge turn-off, but Logan’s experience just added to the attraction she’d always felt, one that intensified the longer he stared down at her, the more she allowed herself to slip into her submissive headspace. She would so miss all this. “Honoraria.” One word, guaranteed to shake her up beyond all others, especially delivered in that deep, compelling drawl of his, and she scrambled to her feet and shook her head. “No, please, not her. I’m not her, not here, not ever.” “Yes, you are, and I want the truth, right now.” He freed her hands from her chains, and threw them on the floor. “Strip.” For the second time this evening, Lindsey’s world shifted on its axis and she stared up at him, lost for words. Even with her standing up, he towered over her, and Lindsey felt incredibly small right now. Not a feeling she normally associated with the brash personality she chose to portray in the club. No, this right here was more like she felt at home, where her opinion didn’t matter and she was just a pawn in her father’s power games. Not trusting her voice to work, Lindsey shook her head at him, and if that was possible, Logan’s expression grew even more foreboding. “No is not your safe word, girl, and let me tell you now. Safewording is not an option here, not until we get the truth, and if you refuse my request, then I’ll be marching you up to Slade and Scarlett right now to tell them who exactly they have been harboring under their roof all this time.” A strangled groan escaped Lindsey at those words and a grim smile kicked up one corner of Logan’s full lips as she fumbled with the ties that held her corset together. This should be all her dreams come true, but it felt all wrong. A huff of relief escaped her when his large hand closed over her trembling digits. “I don’t mean your clothes,” he said. Lindsey’s confusion must have shown in her face, because he lifted the blonde strands of hair off her cleavage, and flicked them over her shoulder. “I mean this….whatever this is. I want it off, all of it.” Stepping away, he picked up a pack of wet wipes off the top of the spanking bench and handed it to her. “Use those to get that muck of your face and start with what I hope like fuck is a wig, and you haven’t dyed your beautiful hair.” Her befuddled mind latched onto the beautiful comment. He wouldn’t think her beautiful without all the make-up, that’s for sure. No one ever did. She must have stood there too long simply gaping up at him, because Logan sighed, crossed his arms over his chest and raised one perfectly shaped eyebrow at her, which had her scrambling for the fastenings off the wig. That was the lesser of the two evils, after all. Dropping her gaze to the way his biceps bunched under the material of his shirt, she eventually managed to get the wig off her head. She let it drop to the floor, and struggled with the knots in her hair. “Here, let me.” Her heart skipped a beat when he stepped closer, so close that his body heat warmed her skin, and she wanted nothing more than to sink into his embrace, to let him take care of her, but that could never be. “It’s all tangled. There, that should do it.” Closing her eyes, Lindsey gave herself over to the gentle tugging movements of his hand in her hair, as he undid the worst of the knots. His even breaths ghosted across her face as he bent his head closer to the task at hand, and every exhalation brought with it more of his scent. Earthy, primal, masculine, it made her want to beg him to take her, to never let her go, but that was just her stupid fantasies talking. Logan had never paid her teenage self more than polite interest, and even here at the club, he had never pushed her for more, just watched her, the slight crease between his eyes more pronounced as though he was puzzling over something. Seemed he’d known all along who she really was, had just been biding his time. A whimper escaped her as he let his talented fingers trail down to the base of her skull and used gentle pressure to tip her head up. “You have no idea how glad I am to see you didn’t mess with your natural hair color.” The odd undertone to those murmured words meant she had to open her eyes, and she forgot to breathe under the heated intensity of his gaze. As brief and intense as that moment had been, it passed as he released her, cleared his throat, and when she blinked, the barrier of polite disinterest was back in place. She must have imagined that flare of male interest she’d seen in his eyes. Again he handed her the packet of wet wipes, and she jumped when their fingers touched. Logan cleared his throat and took another step away, until he rested his butt on the edge of the spanking bench. “Do I have to?” she asked and flinched when Logan crossed his arms over his chest. “All of it. I want to see you without that muck on your face.” His tone of voice brooked no argument, and giving into the inevitable, Lindsey complied. With every swipe of the wet wipes, another layer of her armor disintegrated until she stood before him, naked, alone, and ugly. Hiding behind the silky curtain of her hair, she shied away when he reached out to her. “Let me see, little bird.” Hearing him call her by the name he’d fashioned for her all those years ago, coupled with his sharp intake of breath as he tucked her hair away to enable him to see, proved too much, and she burst into tears. Blurb: [Siren Classic: Erotic Consensual BDSM Romance, spanking, flogging, knife play, HEA] Logan Festher never attends the auctions at Club Spectrum, but what’s a Dom to do when the day is just too painful to spend on his own. Besides, he promised his late wife not to mope on her birthdays. What he didn’t expect was to find the young girl Elena had been so fond of on the auction stage. He can’t let Lindsey go through with this. Her deception ends tonight, and he will get to the bottom of her odd behavior once and for all. Lindsey Callan-Brennan has nowhere to hide when Logan wins her for the night. The man she has been secretively in love with for years might be a gentle Dom, but tonight he is all business. Without her disguise Lindsey feels exposed, vulnerable, and above all ugly. She is damaged goods and Logan’s insistence on helping her can only end in heartache for them both. Anything else is the stuff of dreams, surely…

Were you unable to attend Transform 2022? Check out all of the summit sessions in our on-demand library now! Watch here. Performance marketing company Nanigans released a study today showcasing that Facebook advertising is alive and well, with retailers seeing a 375 percent explosion in click-through rates from Q3 2012 to Q3 2013 — and healthy 152 percent return on investment. Cause of the massive growth? Facebook’s shift to in-newsfeed ads. “Facebook is the place for proven reach and ROI,” Facebook’s own Michael Randall said in response to the survey, perhaps unsurprisingly. But Nanigans SVP Dan Slagen agrees, pointing out something very new — and very welcome — in terms of social media marketing: “Just 12 months ago we really weren’t having ROI conversations about social marketing in general,” Slagen told me on the phone today. “And now we’re talking about Facebook in terms of performance marketing!” See also: Facebook ad profit a staggering 1,790 percent more on iPhone than Android A majority — 57 percent — of retailers’ spend on desktop Facebook ads is delivered in the news feed, an ad type that Facebook enabled to some controversy in March of this year. For both advertisers and Facebook, it’s been an unparalleled success, with one study in June reporting 49 times the clicks at half the cost of the social network’s righthand-side ads. But Nanigans’ new numbers indicate that today, while news feed ads still massively outperform righthand-side ads, with 28 times the clicks, righthand-side ads actually have higher return on investment. In other words, if you want massive attention, advertise in the news feed. If you want to optimize for profit, lean toward the righthand-side ads. But clickthroughs aren’t the only numbers that are up — costs are, too. Cost-per-thousand (CPM) impressions for retailers advertising in Facebook are up almost as much as clickthroughs: 271 percent. Today, they’re $.89, while in 2012 they were just $.33. Interestingly, Nanigans, which is one of the largest ad buyers on Facebook, sees a big 37 percent spike in ad costs during the last month of each quarter. “This is likely due to heightened demand for inventory at this time as brands and agencies rush to meet quarterly volume goals,” the company said. While CPM costs are up, cost per click (CPC) are down, dropping 27 percent in the last year, and Nanigans says they’re “normalizing” at around $0.45. Above: News feed ads are taking over from righthand-side ads. Image Credit: Nanigans The most important numbers, however, are not CPM or CPC. Instead, they’re ROI. If retailers are making money advertising, they’ll do it regardless of the cost. And according to Nanigans — which, of course, sells Facebook ads — ROI is at 152 percent, meaning that every dollar spent on Facebook advertising generates $1.52 in sales. And that number, Nanigans says, is low, because the report date range cuts off some sales that will still be attributable to ads that were shown in previous months — advertising in one month, in this case September, will often result in some sales still in the next month, in this case October. And ROI is all about targeting the right person with the right ad at the right time. “We can get an ad to any human being on the planet,” says Slagen, exaggerating just slightly. “But it has to be one that they take action on.” News feed ads are clearly taking over Facebook. From Q1 this year to Q3, the percent of Facebook ads that were delivered to the news feed versus the righthand side grew from just 35 percent to 74 percent, almost three quarters. In September, that was even more exaggerated: 79 percent of ads on Facebook for retailers were in the news feed. Interestingly, when Nanigans looked at how retailers are allocating their budget on Facebook desktop ads, an ad type that didn’t even exist earlier this year is leading the way: unpublished page posts. Unpublished page posts are “posts” that are not posted to be viewed organically by those who have liked a brand — it’s an area only used for advertising. From nothing in February, this ad type has exploded to 68 percent in September. Meanwhile, ads that link to an external domain are down from a majority early in 2013 to under 20 percent today. Mobile app installs have also grown. Nanigans also looked at the demographics of Facebook advertising, finding that men click on more ads than women, and buy less frequently, providing 26 percent less ROI. In other words, painting with a very broad counter-cultural brush, men shop, and women buy. In addition, while Facebook advertisers focus on younger audiences, older Facebook users provide much more return on investment — up to double. Finally, while advertisers seem to be spending the largest part of their budgets Thursday, consumers are clicking and buying the most on the weekends: Saturday through Tuesday. Which means that it might be a good idea to re-allocate more dollars to weekend advertising: The upshot, says Nanigans, is to spend smart, to not ignore right-hand side ads, and to avoid leaving excess budget to spend at the end of a quarter, when ad prices increase. In addition, the company warns, metrics like clickthrough rate and cost-per-click are not nearly as important as return on investment, citing as an example that unpublished Page post link ads average 23 times higher clickthroughs than domain ads (ads that take users out of Facebook and to an external website) but have a massive 53 percent lower ROI. “Incremental sales have become core to retailer Facebook advertising goals, and measuring the true ROI of these efforts is being increasingly demanded,” Marc Grabowski, the chief operating officer of Nanigans, said in a statement. “While every retailer has a unique customer base and their results and strategies vary, we’re excited to offer a benchmark report specific to the sector with meaningful metrics and actionable strategy recommendations.” VentureBeat's mission is to be a digital town square for technical decision-makers to gain kn

I’m so happy to be joining Crane and Canopy today, along with a few of my blogger buddies to put together this little “blogger slumber party”. We’re all going to be sharing some of our bedding ideas, so I thought I’d show you what I did in our master bedroom after I took out all of the Christmas decor. Well “all of” is a little bit of an over-statement. I guess it was really only a few things, but it felt super Christmassy in here. And now it doesn’t. 🙂 After-Christmas decorating can be a little tricky because we definitely want things to feel fresh and new for the New Year, but we still need that cozy feeling that our Christmas decor provided to get us through the rest of Winter. This is actually my favorite time of year because I love the fact that everyone is so into cleaning things up, organizing and trying to make their homes serve them and their families better. And after all of the busy-ness of the holidays, we actually have a little more free time to do it! Of course, when we think about making things cozy, we think about adding in lots of fluffy, texture-y layers to help keep us warm and comfy, but this look can sometimes run the risk of starting to feel cluttered or stale or just plain messy. I thought it would be appropriate today to share what I like to do to get that layered, textured feel, while still keeping things feeling really clean and fresh, especially because my new book The Cleaning Ninja will be coming out in 11 days! I talk a little more in the book about some tricks for decorating in a way that makes your house feel cleaner automatically, but for today I’m just focusing on the bedroom since this is a slumber party and all. 🙂 When it comes to your bed, I really think a good basic quilt is almost always the way to go. Something with some repeating texture like this one from Crane and Canopy makes making a nice crisp bed almost effortless. The texture of the quilting means that you’ll never have unwanted wrinkles or creases and the fact that it’s not too thick allows it to lay flat on top of the bed and make it look like you took way more time making everything perfect than you really did. When it comes to adding more fluffiness and texture, there aren’t really too many rules. Basically, layer up anything that you see or that you have on hand that makes you feel happy and cozy. Toss it all on the bed together and see what plays well together (You may have seen my big pile o’ coziness the other day on Instagram 🙂 ). If you keep in the same color family, everything will pretty much work out most of the time. I picked up these super shaggy furry pillows from my grocery store, the sheepskin is something that I’ve had forever, and the throw was a Christmas gift. None of it was planned to go together, but it all worked so well in the name of coziness. I actually have a chapter in my new book all about bed-making so it’s something that’s really near and dear to my heart. I have to admit though, that I broke one of my own rules again when I added the throw on the bed. The throw actually usually stays neatly folded over the arm of a chair when it’s not being used, but for the sake of the styling of the pictures, I threw it on the bed. The thing that I find that makes something like this come together really nicely and still feel crisp and clean is to have one “focal point” item with a crisp, clear pattern that kind of cuts through all of that texture-y noise and gives you a place to rest your eye. It really keeps all those fluffy pieces from looking disheveled and untidy. The same concept would work really well if you’re trying to get a cozy look on your couch or your chair! So that’s what I did with my Winter bedding this year! I’m really enjoying having something fun and fresh to look at after the holidays. Now make sure you continue on and visit the rest of the ladies in our slumber party to see what they’ve done with Crane and Canopy bedding! Camila – Effortless Style Jamie – Southern Revivals Carmel – Our Fifth House Thanks so much to Crane and Canopy for providing me with the quilt and shams for this post!

– News Skip to content August 9, 2022 News News Network Primary Menu Network News Search for: Home Crime Control and Security News Crime Control and Security News 12 min read 5 months ago Sam News Antony J. Blinity to discuss key and most concerning issues, including Russian war against Ukraine and further actions in support to Ukraine, and how we should strengthen the security of Lithuanian and the entire region. The Untied States, Lithuania, and other partners of the alliance are doing a lot, but we cannot stop. We cannot afford for Ukrainian cities to become another Srebrenica, Grozny, or Aleppo. Providing assistance to Ukraine has to continue. We have to urge our partners to check their inventories to increase their orders and continue supplying assistance to Ukraine that it needs so much. The Russia initiated war also means humanitarian as well as climate crisis, and we have to do everything that is possible to prevent the humanitarian corridors and safe areas around nuclear power plants from becoming targets of Russian war machine. I’m happy that the U.S. is increasing its presence in the Baltic region in troops and in equipment. U.S. troops are protecting our country, together with other NATO partners. We know that the commitments of our – of the Allies are ironclad, and if we want to continue building even stronger NATO, politically stronger, we need to ensure security of the Baltic states. Russian economic blockade has not reached total isolation level, and we heard that there were attempts to use unsanctioned banks to evade the already-existing sanctions. So we have to close all the possible gaps. And energy resources that we are using allows Russia to fund its military operation, and we cannot pay for oil and gas with Ukrainian blood. The U.S. stands with Lithuania and the Baltic states. The United States stand here with their commitments, with their troops and capabilities. They are here in reality and not in front of a green screen with the fake microphones. Together – I’m sorry – today, the Secretary’s visit shows once again that United States stands with Lithuania and the Baltic states, and it also stands with Ukraine and its people. SECRETARY BLINKEN: Thank you very, very much. Gabrielius, thank you so much for the warm welcome. It’s been a real pleasure to be here to be able to spend time with the president, with the prime minister, and with you. And I just have to say for starts, on a personal note, how much I appreciate you as a colleague, how much I appreciate the strength of your voice, your conviction in our own relationship, at NATO, throughout Europe. It makes a big difference, and it’s greatly appreciated. And I’m pleased to be here with our ambassador to Lithuania, Bob Gilchrist, who’s been a terrific leader for the team that I was able to meet with this morning before meeting with our colleagues in the government. We’re celebrating, the United States and Lithuania, 100 years of diplomatic relations this year. We’re NATO Allies. We’re economic partners. And we share together a deep commitment to democracy, to human rights, to the international rules-based order, which we recognize is the foundation of our shared security and which is being directly threatened by Russia’s unprovoked, unjustified war against Ukraine. Lithuanians understand the critical importance of every nation’s sovereignty and territorial integrity being respected, having lived through decades of Soviet occupation, a forceful occupation that the United States always refused to recognize. In recent years, Moscow has sought to undermine Lithuania’s democracy and sow polarization within its population through cyber attacks and disinformation campaigns. That’s because the free, open, vibrant, prosperous society that the people of Lithuania have built since the end of Soviet occupation shows what’s possible when people choose the path of democracy over autocracy. That’s why the United States supported and advocated for Lithuania’s membership in NATO and the European Union; and this country, Lithuania, has consistently made outsized contributions to both organizations. Lithuania’s commitment to freedom was evident at the Summit for Democracy that President Biden convened late last year, where Vilnius pledged to expand its efforts to support and provide refuge for pro-democracy activists from Belarus and Russia, to promote international accountability measures for gross human rights violations, to increase support for media freedom and the safety of journalists. How prescient and necessary those commitments proved to be. In the face of the current crisis, the United States and Lithuania are united in our resolve to stand with Ukraine. We’re surging security assistance to strengthen Ukraine’s capacity to defend itself. We’re increasing humanitarian aid to the Ukrainian people. We’re raising the costs on the Kremlin – and all who aid and enable it – for continuing this war of choice. And we’re bolstering our shared defense so that we and our allies are prepared to meet any threat. The United States has deployed an additional 7,000 forces to Europe. We’re repositioned forces already in Europe to strengthen NATO’s eastern flank. That includes the extension, as of last week, of the U.S. Army’s 366 Armored Battalion, which was deployed to Lithuania in July; the deployment of F-35 strike fighters to the region to augment NATO’s enhanced air policing mission. An addition 400 personnel from the 1st Armored Brigade combat team will be arriving in Lithuania in the days to come. The United States commitment to Article 5 – an attack on one is an attack on all – that commitment is sacrosanct. And as President Biden repeated to the American people in his State of the Union address just a few days ago, we will defend every inch of NATO territory if it comes under attack. No one should doubt our readiness; no one should doubt our resolve. Over the past several weeks, I authorized allies to provide U.S.-origin defense equipment to our Ukrainian partners. Lithuania stepped up with Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, M-72 light anti-tank weapons, and other supplies to help the extraordinarily courageous Ukrainian people defend their country from Russian aggression. Vilnius is also sending about $4 million Euros in emergency medical assistance for Ukraine – 30 truckloads packed with aid, urgently needed given the growing carnage that’s being influenced by the Kremlin’s sieges and attacks on civilians. When the Lithuanian Red Cross issued a call just last week for donations to help people in Ukraine, it filled 50 trucks the very first day. We see blue and yellow flags hanging from homes and businesses across this country. And a Lithuanian NGO has reportedly registered nearly 6,000 households willing to take in Ukrainian refugees. The Ukrainians who eventually arrive in Lithuania will join hundreds of anti-corruption activists, opposition politicians, journalists, human rights defenders who already have found safe haven here after being forced to flee attacks, threats, imprisonment in Russia and Belarus in recent years. Vilnius is the temporary home of Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, the leader of Belarus’s pro-democracy movement, with whom I’ve had the privilege of meeting on several occasions, including most recently in Munich during the security conference. We’re very grateful to Lithuania for hosting in the State Department’s Belarus Affairs unit, led by Ambassador Julie Fisher. That unit is focused on supporting the democratic aspirations of the Belarusian people and holding the Lukashenka regime accountable for its widespread human rights violations. Until last May, Vilnius also provided refuge for Belarusian blogger and dissident Roman Protasevich until a commercial jet that he was traveling on was intercepted by a Belarusian fighter jet and he was arbitrarily detained. We join Lithuania in continuing to call for his immediate release and the release of all people being unjustly detained in Russia and in Belarus, including the growing number arrested for protesting the Kremlin’s ongoing war. Yesterday alone, the Russian Government reportedly detained more than 4,600 people demonstrating against the war in 65 Russian cities and towns. Vilnius recognized that a threat to the rules-based order anywhere has the potential to weaken it everywhere. This includes the principle that every nation is free to associate with whom it chooses. That’s why we respect and support Lithuania’s decision to expand commercial ties with Taiwan, another leading democracy. Beijing has responded to Vilnius’s decision with economic coercion and political pressure designed to divide the European Union – and punishing Lithuania into reversing course. We support the EU’s decision to launch a legal challenge against China at the WTO. We have to defend the rules that keep trade fair. Beijing talks a lot about the importance of upholding international order, stability, respecting sovereignty. But from its coercion of Vilnius to its failure thus far to condemn Moscow’s flagrant violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, today and in 2014, Beijing’s actions are speaking much louder than its words. The United States continues to stand by Lithuania and the right of every nation to choose its own path. We’re supporting Lithuania as it reorients its supply chains and deepens its economic resilience. In November we created a $600 million Export-Import Bank credit facility here, and that will help facilitate U.S. exports to Lithuania, but also help Lithuanian businesses in the sectors that have been hardest hit by the PRC’s measures like semiconductors, like biotechnology. Our Undersecretary for Economic Affairs Jose Fernandez was just here – with colleagues from the Export-Import Bank – to support these efforts and deepen our economic cooperation. As Lithuania continues to stand for these principles, it can count on the United States to stand with it. Thank you. MODERATOR: (Via interpreter) Now is the time for questions. Žygintas Abromaitis from Lithuanian National Television. Žygintas Abromaitis. QUESTION: Žygintas Abromaitis, Lithuanian national broadcaster on behalf of all Lithuanian media. It’s a question for you, Mr. Blinken. President Nausėda warned about World War III if Putin is not stopped, but it looks like the only war could stop him, and not sanctions or political pressure or even deterrence. Putin is now saying that he’ll go till the end and Russia is threatening NATO countries over support of Ukraine. You keep saying that you will defend every inch of NATO territory. So will you send American troops to the Baltic region permanently, air defense systems? Where is the red line after crossing it NATO will enter the war directly, and how likely Russia is ready to start a nuclear war? And furthermore, could you confirm that Poland will send fighter jets in exchange for American F-16s? Thank you. SECRETARY BLINKEN: Thank you very much. A few things. First, as I noted, in response to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, one of the things we did is exactly what we said we’d do for many, many months, which is, in the event of Russian aggression, we would reinforce NATO’s eastern flank. And that’s exactly what we’ve done, and we’re in the midst of continuing to do that now, including with the deployment of additional forces, including American forces, here to Lithuania – F-35 fighters, various pieces of important equipment, all of which is being deployed here, deployed to the other states in the Baltics. At the same time, we’re continuously reviewing within NATO our defense posture, including looking at questions of extending the deployment of forces, looking at questions of more permanent deployments. All of that is under regular review, and we’re engaged with NATO Allies in doing just that. Gabrielius and I were just at a meeting of the NATO foreign ministers a few days ago in Brussels, and this is one of the issues, of course, that came up. Second, we said a few other things for many, many months as we saw – the two of us, our countries – the likelihood of Russian aggression against Ukraine. And even as we tried everything we could to push Russia to a diplomatic path to try to resolve whatever concerns it had that might be – that anyone would consider legitimate through diplomacy and dialogue – even as we were doing that, we said then we would be fully prepared if it chose the path of aggression. We said that we would reinforce NATO’s eastern flank – we are. We said that we would come to the aid of Ukraine by providing it more and more assistance – we are. We said that we impose massive consequences on Russia for its aggression – we are. And I think those consequences, the severity of the economic sanctions and other measures that have been taken, are well beyond what I think many people anticipated and are certainly unprecedented. And they are having a dramatic impact already. We see the ruble going through the floor. We see Russia’s credit rating coming basically to zero, to “junk status,” as we would call it. We see its stock market shut down. We see an exodus of virtually every leading company from Russia. All of those things are happening; they’re happening in real time. At the same time, other steps that we’ve taken, including export controls on the most important technology that Russia needs to modernize for the future – including its defense and aerospace industries, including its energy sector – that technology is being denied to Russia. That’s going to have a powerful impact over time. We’re also seeing the effect of the assistance that we have been able to provide to Ukraine and we’re continuing to provide to Ukraine – in Ukraine – when it comes to the incredible courage they’re showing in the effectiveness they’re having in standing against Russian aggression. So all of these things, as we said, are happening. They’re having an impact. Having said that, it’s also true and clear that Russia has a hugely disproportionate force compared to what Ukraine has. It has the ability to continue to grind down the Ukrainian military and, of course, to take horrific actions against the Ukrainian people, including attacking civilians. We want this to come to a stop as quickly as possible, which is why we will continue to increase pressure on Russia, continue to support Ukraine. But as I said yesterday, even if and as Russia might win a battle in Ukraine, that doesn’t mean it’s winning the war. If and as Russia might take a city in Ukraine, that doesn’t mean that it’s taking the hearts and minds of the Ukrainian people. It can’t; it won’t. And whether it’s a week, whether it’s a month, whether it’s longer, I am utterly convinced that Ukraine will prevail. Finally, when it comes to NATO, the line is very clear. And I’ll repeat it: If there is any aggression anywhere on NATO territory, on NATO countries, we the United States, all of our allies and partners, will take action to defend every inch of NATO territory. It’s as clear and direct as that. MODERATOR: Simon Lewis, Reuters. Your question, please. QUESTION: Thank you. Thanks for doing this. For Secretary Blinken, I wondered if you would be able to comment on reports that the U.S. believes that Russia has begun recruiting Syrians to fight in the war in Ukraine. And to the foreign minister: Even before this invasion of Ukraine and the current tense security situation, Lithuania was already dealing with the threat from another power, from – of economic and diplomatic pressure from China over your stance towards Taiwan. How can you balance those two threats, and what can the United States provide? What are you asking for the United States to provide that to help you deal with both of those? Thank you. SECRETARY BLINKEN: I’m happy to start. Simon, I’ve seen the reports that you refer to. I can’t confirm them at this time. FOREIGN MINISTER LANDSBERGIS: Well, I think that – and as Secretary Blinken mentioned – both cases are about defending a similar principle. One power is challenging the rules-based order when it comes to the borders of other countries, when it comes to geopolitics, when it comes to the security architecture of – one might say Europe, but I would say that it’s a global architecture, because it doesn’t matter where the country is – where the country is. Is it in the Indo-Pacific? Is it in Europe? Is it in any other continent? Every country has hopes and wants guarantees that its borders, its sovereignty will not be violated. The other top power is trying to bend globally agreed rules of trade and is trying to use trade as a political instrument, in some cases even as a weapon, to force countries to change the course – no matter that it’s legal, no matter that it’s a sovereign right of the country to do so. So not by our design, Lithuania becomes a case of defending both principles and becomes a country which in some cases leads by example what it means to defend the global rules-based order, be it geopolitical or economic.

Google is known for coming up with “Innovative” products. I was wondering why Google is getting into such a massive advertisement spree for this new form of search. Google advertisement hoadings are visible on road bisectors along most of the heavy traffic drawing roads in Bangalore since last friday. All this hype for their SMS search feature launch in India. Nice concept and surely it is a nice way to tap into mobile frenzy Indian market. Now let me outline my experiment observations on this new search! My experiment search term is ‘megamart’ – If you don’t know, MegaMart is a chain of apparel outlets across India. As soon as I sent a message to 9773300000, it took around a minute to respond back with an SMS saying “Your request is being processed by Google SMS Search. Please be patient for few moments. For Help on Google SMS, please reply with ‘help’ .” No response for the actual search query that I sent even after 4+ minutes. After approximately 10 minutes, I get another SMS from Google which says “Looking for businesses around you? Please send business name or type of business followed by location followed by city name. e.g. Pizza hut indira nagar bangalore.” Hmm… So, it is obvious that Google is not smart enough yet to figure out where the request is coming from. It needs additional information. They too know about this hence the standard disclaimer * on their page too which talks about personalization. Even after providing an exhaustive search query “megamart banashankari bangalore”, Google SMS search results weren’t anywhere close to relevant results. I agree, that there is still a long way to grab a bigger pie from Indian local listings. After 12 hours from the initial search query sent, I got a response! This is what it said: Sorry, ‘megamart’ did not return any results. For HELP on Google SMS, please reply with ‘help’ or go to I will write more on my experimentation on this SMS search soon.. keep reading this space. I have integrated my site feeds with feedburner.

Share it via : Filed Under: india, mobile, review Tagged With: google, india, review, search, sms Reader Interactions Comments Mohan says December 6, 2008 at 5:27 pm @idigital Like I have mentioned above, it is new form of search that google is providing in India. You just need to send a plain text sms to a specific number and Google will send back the search results for your query through text message again. This is useful when there is no web access on a mobile phone. Reply idigital says December 6, 2008 at 5:13 pm what’s the sms google for?I never try this Reply Mohan says December 3, 2008 at 8:24 pm @Rajesh Valid point Rajesh. I agree with you. However, we haven’t yet reached the information era in India where in a mobile use can have all the info on a hand held device. The very fact of our technology lagging can be understood by looking at our mobile operators. We are still in the era of 2G while US lives on 3G iPhones! Reply Rajesh says December 3, 2008 at 11:07 am I tried Google too but yeh the results take time and are not relevant.I was looking for LCD TV dealers got some confusing text back. I think Just Dials SMS search on 53999 throws very relevant results. I use it frequently and i am impressed. Reply Mohan says December 2, 2008 at 6:46 am @yinheli Everyone loves most of google products.. but not all 🙂 Hope they make it better. Reply yinheli says December 1, 2008 at 3:26 pm I love Google products…. Reply Mohan says December 1, 2008 at 7:26 am @budeen Thank you 🙂 @Nitin Amidst of the financial crisis, the google stock has come down from around $600 to below $300. However that is very much in par with other companies as well. Let us see if contines… Reply Nitin says December 1, 2008 at 6:08 am Google making Crap software!!This is what happens when you step into too many boats. Chrome is one of the worst browsers I’ve come across. Is the Google story fading??? Lets wait and watch. Reply budeen says November 30, 2008 at 9:45 pm nice blog. nice theme.. 🙂 Reply Mohan says November 29, 2008 at 3:47 pm @Srinath Yeah Srinath, Yahoo’s SMS search is anytime better but the issue is it is a premium service. One has to send a message query to number 58242 for Yahoo’s OneSearch SMS and user will be charged 3 rupees per message. There it welcomes the drawback. Reply Srinath says November 29, 2008 at 3:26 pm yahoo onesearch via sms works a lot better in india. Reply Deepak says November 28, 2008 at 5:00 pm This is crazy.. I couldn’t believe it took 12 hrs to get you the search results until I experienced my self. Yes. you are right. This was not the kind of quality expected from google anyways. Even I am not satisfied with the relevancy of search results provided over SMS. Hope they better themselves as the days progress.

This was an unpleasant revelation I had just before my son entered Pre-K: August is now when I get to relive all of the back-to-school anxiety I had as a kid, compounded by already prevalent mom anxiety. Wow, that's fun! And, according to a new survey, this worried feeling is something that most parents feel at summer's end. A survey by OnePoll, reported in the New York Post, found that 60% of parents are so stressed about back-to-school season they lose sleep. Of the 2,000 parents of kids ages 5-18, 57% said it is the most stressful time of the year for them. The top worries of most parents are: Whether their child will have good teachers (50%), whether their child eats healthy foods at school (44%), the cost of buying school supplies (42%), their child's safety at school (40%), and whether their child will make friends at school (40%). Before worry, and worrying about the worry, gets you down, here are a few ways to combat each of the above back-to-school concerns before the season hits: 1. Wait and see about those teachers. At most schools, you can't do a whole lot about which teachers your kid gets. But the good news is that whatever rumors you may hear from other parents about which teachers are too strict and which ones don't care about education, that may not necessarily be the case with your child. Some kids really bond with teachers that other kids don't like. Give the teachers the benefit of the doubt at first, and then ask your child specific questions about their day. Even with "bad" teachers, you have the opportunity to help your kid learn how to deal with different personalities. If things are really not working a few weeks into the school year, you can escalate matters with parent-teacher meetings and the school's administration. There's no sense stressing about this one before a problem arises, though. 2. Talk about good nutrition together, and make sure they eat well at home. If you're not packing a lunch for your kid every day—and even if you are—you're going to have to trust them about what they eat. Make sure they understand why certain foods are better than others, and try to make sure they get the stuff they really need at breakfast and dinner. 3. Do your back-to-school shopping gradually. You know the basics of what your child will need before the teachers hand out those lists—pencils, pens, notebooks, backpacks—so you can pick them up bit by bit throughout the summer when there are good sales (check if your state has a sales-tax-free holiday!). You can also turn back-to-school shopping into a fun ritual you have as a family to get excited for the school year by selecting just a couple of items you'll buy together—a character lunchbox, a first-day-of school shirt, new hair accessories. Then save the rest for buying online, at thrift stores, or even after the school year starts when discounts might be even bigger. 4. Learn about the school's safety and emergency procedures. There is a lot you can't control in this area, but you can be informed. The National Association of Elementary School Principals recommended to that parents review alternate travel routes to and from school, familiarize themselves with security measures, and talk to kids about what to do when they don't feel safe (including telling a teacher and knowing how to reach you at home). 5. Model good social skills, but don't force them. Let those little sponges see how you talk to friends and neighbors, because they'll mirror you eventually. Enrolling them in after-school and weekend activities may also help them gain confidence when meeting new people, but only if they enjoy what they're doing. Also, remember that your kid might have different social needs than you do, so don't stress if they seem happier with one close friend than with a big group (or the other way around). Now, if anyone can help me stop having those dreams where I show up late to my high school in my underwear having not studied for a chemistry test, please let me know.

In her new role,she will supervise the City Attorney’s Port operations and serve as in-house counsel to Port management and the Los Angeles Harbor Commission.

In 2006, she was assigned to the Harbor Department, focusing on California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) matters.

Prior to joining the City Attorney’s Office, Sidley was an Assistant United States Attorney in Los Angeles from 1998 to 2002. Janna has worked at the Department of Justice in Washington DC, the Department of the Interior and the White House.

TOTH (Towne Oaks Town Homes), a 90 unit garden style community in Tyler, TX. Built in 1968, the property consists of 24, one-story garden style apartment buildings on an 8.15-acre site. Amenities include a beautiful clubhouse and pool area. Strategy: Acquisition of a performing asset with upside via improved marketing, utilities charge back and property management efficiencies. Highlights: Our business plan includes the following improvements. The property was managed as a single 90 unit asset. While this size property does operate more efficiently than smaller properties there are many areas for improvement. We combined management with a larger property, that we owned across the street, to improve our bottom line. The prior owners were paying the water bills for all tenants even though charging back water is a common practice in Tyler, TX. We’ve transitioned all new leases and renewals to tenant-paid water. Prior management had not implemented best practices designed to bring rents up to market levels. We’ve been able to raise all unit types up to market rates for the area and continue to keep up with local rent increases. The property had been marketed as a Senior Living community. We’ve marketed the property as 55+ which helped to bring in a more vibrant and price-inelastic tenant base. Getting started in Real Estate might be intimidating but we’re here to make it simple and mitigate your risk. We’ve partnered with over 100 individuals like yourself to invest in real estate and create passive income. Over 1/3 of investors have invested multiple times.

Italy edged out Sweden in a game where Ibrahimavic missed an absolute shocker – Italy comfortably into the last 16 and flying nicely under the radar. Highlights Czech Republic v Croatia With ten minutes to go everything was comfy for Croatia, then their own fans started fighting with each other, a few firecrackers, then a steward almost has his arm blown off and 2-2. Thought the steward should have been booked for diving. Shocking, especially as I had put 2-1 to Croatia. Highlights Spain v Turkey Didn’t watch – have no time for Spain, not even to watch them. Apparently they won 3-0 and qualify for next round, but they are not long for the competition. Highlights Results and Leaderboard Performance of the third round goes to Gail Simmons with a visionary 2-2 pick in the Croatia game – she goes up 11 places to 9th. Russ Pearce takes over the mantle after a run of shocking results that failed to concur with my predictions.

I let the warm grains of sand sift between my fingers and float toward the ocean with the breeze. I’ve never been here, but I know this place well from her stories. I close my eyes and listen to the rhythmic white noise of water colliding with the beach. Filling my lungs with air, I notice the brininess. No wonder she loved it here. I hat would today look like with her beside me, if sickness hadn’t taken her so swiftly? Despite the heat, my arm hair rises like hundreds of tiny waves and blood crashes against my veins. I know she’s been here before, because she’s told me. But I can also feel it. Maybe she’s here with me now. A cream-colored shell slowly washes up to shore and stops before my feet. I bend to retrieve it, examine its smooth edges, and toss it in the pink bucket with the others. Maybe that same sand now floating off to sea once sat beneath her brown legs. I picture her feet stretched out in front of her while she rests under the brazen sun. She’s laughing with friends and casually sipping a rum and Coke (not Pepsi) over ice. Maybe she walked along this very stretch of beach to collect shells as souvenirs, like me. I imagine her happy, healthy, and young. A friend once told me that the beach ends where the ocean starts, but that line isn’t distinct. There are still bits of water on the sand and bits of sand throughout the ocean. Maybe that’s life. Maybe our beginning and end are not as abrupt as we think. Maybe there are still bits of her here. I dust the sand from my hands and blow her a kiss good-bye. That’s how I’d like to remember her. On a warm beach with a beaming smile and sand beneath her feet. Before cancer. Before pain. Before I lost her.

Being a Sedona artist, I love creating magical abstract wall art desert landscapes in an acrylic medium. The sky that you see here was done using both hands simultaneously. This technique was taught to me in a workshop with artist/teacher Bonnie Hartenstein here in Sedona, AZ, that I learned this method. Loving Vincent Discover Loving Vincent is a 2017 biographical animated drama film about the life of painter Vincent van Gogh, particularly the circumstances of his death. It is the first fully painted animated feature film. It is written and directed by Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman. The development was funded by the Polish Film Institute and partially through a Kickstarter campaign. Each of the film’s 65,000 frames is an oil painting on canvas. Using the same technique as Van Gogh, created by a team of 115 painters. The film premiered at the 2017 Annecy International Animated Film Festival. Church House Rock – Endless Confusion Cathedral Rock, a magical Sedona Vortex, was called “Court House Rock” on some early maps, and Courthouse Butte was called “Church House Rock.” This has caused endless confusion ever since. Unwittingly this mistake was made about 1984 ago by a cartographer. I’m grateful and delight-in to have crafted this desert image of another Sedona landscape painting wall art offered as a Sedona canvas print with prickly pear cactus. When you gaze at this desert landscape, it almost appears as a daydream. Other Adaptations of this Whimsical Southwest Sedona Landscape “Cathedral Magic,” “Cathedral Rock,” and “Fire in the Sky,” “Sedona’s Sacred Heart and Soul,” “ Sacred Reflections,” and “Sedona’s Crescent Moon Ranch” are different versions of this Vortex iconic formation known as Cathedral Rock. “Creekside Cathedral,” which is the one that Warner Bros. licensed from me to use in their new media series “Snatchers.” This horror-comedy series about high schooler Sara, who wakes up pregnant…with an alien baby. Now she’ll have to team up with her ex-best friend Hayley to fight the extraterrestrial threat and save the world.

For many years I ran the videogame review website called Gamestyle with @Swainy @bradigor @strider and a retro section by some bloke called Darran Jones. (There were a lot more people who I haven't credited here because I don’t know if they're on RLLMUK) Back in 2012, me and a mate tried to launch a new site called Game ID. It was going to be big and grandiose and be "IMDB for games" with a lot of extra bells and whistles. A site like MobyGames, but much more modern and nicer. We built two versions of the website over a year. We were not really happy with the quality and as my friend Jon moved abroad for a job at Google, and I to Microsoft - it just didn't happen. We never launched it. 10 years later, Jon and his developer friend rebooted the name and concept and have launched a streamlined version of an app to the iOS App Store. Its pretty much a basic GoodReads for videogames. Rate them, create lists, read news. I haven't had a hand in making this version, so can take no credit, but encourage you to give it a whirl and send any feedback you have to @gameidapp on Twitter.

Any employer making use of fixed term contracts should review their policies and practices particularly where the employees are earning less than R205 433, 30 per annum and the periods of the contract together with any renewal exceeds three months. In “The Labour Relations Amendment Act, 2014 and non-standard Employment” we dealt with some general provisions and concepts which are important to an understanding of the amendments as a whole. These included the idea of non-standard employment, avoidance and justifiable reasons for different treatment. In “The Labour Relations Amendment Act, 2014 and Non-Standard Employment: The Use of Labour Brokers” we reviewed the use of labour brokers. In this note, we consider the use of fixed term employment contracts. The note does not purport to be a detailed or complete explanation of the amendments or their significance. It must not therefore be read as constituting legal advice but rather as a means for employers to identify and respond to the most obvious risk areas. Setting the scene To begin with we set the scene by looking at the present position. An employment contract comes to an end as a result of: the act of the employer – “dismissal”; the act of the employee – “resignation”; or the effluxion of time. “Time” in this context means either that the fixed time for which the contract was entered into has elapsed, or that the particular task or reason in respect of which the employee was employed has been completed. This is the typical “part-time employee” or “fixed term contract” situation. Ordinarily, it does not constitute dismissal. Other methods would include the death of the employee or mutual agreement but these are not relevant for present purposes. Employers know that a dismissal will be unfair unless the employer is able to prove that: it was for a fair reason related to the employee’s conduct or capacity, or the employer’s operational requirements; and was effected in accordance with a fair procedure. The complication with termination of fixed term contracts, by effluxion of time, arises because of the extended definition of dismissal in the LRA. It goes beyond what one would ordinarily expect. “Dismissal” is defined to include the situation where an employee reasonably expects the employer to renew a fixed term contract on the same or similar terms but the employer offered to renew it on less favourable terms, or did not renew it. (The amendments now extend this to the employer’s failure to meet the employee’s expectation that the employee would be retained on an indefinite basis.) Care had therefore to be taken to ensure that the employer did and said nothing, directly or indirectly, which might have led the employee to expect the renewal of the contract. However, even explicit wording in a contract would not assist an employer where the employer’s actual conduct led to a reasonable expectation on the part of the employee that the contract would in fact be renewed, notwithstanding the express words. The difficulty arose particularly if the fixed term contract was to be renewed. For, unless the circumstances were appropriate, the mere renewal of the contract may tend to have suggested that its temporary nature was not genuinely meant. In practice, we have for a long time advised that: a fixed term or temporary employment contract must be related to an “external” bushere was no reason why an employer should not engage employees either for a defined period (for example “two days”, “three weeks” etc), or, until the happening of a defined event (for example “the completion of the project etc”). When the time of these contracts had elapsed, the employment terminated but no question of “dismissal” arose, unless a reasonable expectation of renewal had been created. Although this part of the definition of ‘dismissal’ is amended, the principles set out above continue to apply and the risk of non-renewal ending in an unfair dismissal claim not only remains but is added to. What the amendments do is to articulate these principles expressly. The amendments The amendments to the law affecting fixed term contracts are introduced by the new section 198B. In this note, we do not cover each and every sub-section of section 198B, but focus on the central ideas. Employers intending to enter into a fixed term contract would be well advised to take proper advice. We start by noting two apparent concessions to small business and one other where the provisions of the section do not apply. First, the section does not apply to employees earning more than the prescribed Basic Conditions of Employment Act threshold (currently R205 433, 30). So, if an employee is to earn more than R17 119. 44 per month the restrictions of the amendments will not apply. Second, the provisions will not apply to an employer: that employs less than 10 employees, or that employs less than 50 employees and whose business has been in operation for less than two years, unless: the employer conducts more than one business; or the business was formed by the division or dissolution for any reason of an existing business. Third, the provisions do not apply where the employee is employed in terms of a fixed term contract which is permitted by any statute, sectoral determination or collective agreement. With those preliminary remarks, we must now consider how the amendments define a fixed term contract. A fixed term contract means a contract of employment that terminates on: the occurrence of a specified event; the completion of a specified task or project; a fixed date (other than an employee’s normal or agreed retirement age). This is exactly what we have always understood as “the effluxion of time” which is mentioned earlier. What is new is what follows, namely, the regulation of the legitimate period and the idea of justification. So, an employer may offer a fixed term contract or successive fixed term contracts as long as it is for less than three months. If either the original contract or successive contracts, or their collective duration, will be for a period longer than three months, then a fixed term contract or successive contracts is permissible only if: the nature of the work for which the employee is employed is of a limited or definite duration; or the employer can demonstrate any other justifiable reason for fixing the term of the contract. You can see the idea we previously expressed that a fixed term contract must be related to an “external” business imperative such as, for example, the absence of another employee, a temporary fluctuation in workload or a particular project which has a clear beginning and a clear end. The amendments go on to list a number of circumstances in which the use of a fh is not expected to endure beyond 12 months; if the employee is employed to work exclusively on a specific project that has a limited or defined duration; and if the employee is employed to perform seasonal work. So far, there is very little in the amendments which would hinder the use of fixed term contracts in those circumstances where they have always been justifiable. But now to risk. First, if the period of the contract or its renewals is to exceed three months, the employer will have to be able to demonstrate a justifiable reason for that period and for the use of a fixed term contract. Second, as pointed out earlier, the definition of dismissal is, in broad terms, unchanged. An employee engaged on any fixed term contract which is not renewed when the employee reasonably expected it to be renewed or converted into an indefinite period contract is deemed to have been dismissed. If the employer is not able to prove that this was done for a fair reason and in accordance with a fair procedure, then the dismissal will have been unfair. Remedies include re-instatement, re-employment or compensation. Third, and what is new, is sub-section (5). If you conclude a fixed term contract where: it is for a period longer than three months; and the nature of the work for which the employee is employed is NOT of a limited or definite duration; or the employer CANNOT demonstrate any other justifiable reason for fixing the term of the contract – then the fixed term will fall away and the contract will be deemed to be of indefinite duration. Similarly, if you renew a fixed term contract where: it is for a period longer than three months; and the nature of the work for which the employee is esecond, the conversion of a fixed term contact into an indefinite period one. Both risks can be managed provided the contract is used for a proper purpose having regard to the list of justifiable reasons. Fourth, where an employee is employed on a fixed term contract of longer than three months, he or she must be treated no less favourably than an employee employed on a permanent basis performing the For more information please contact Nigel Carmen at Follow this link for a profile of the author.

Monday was bad in epic proportion. The dashing of dreams, refers to that. But I will get to that later in a different post. Because, as bad as it was…it was a trip to Disneyland in comparison to yesterday. Today? Well…see for yourself. The house is quiet, and I’m a mess. Still in my pajamas, even after taking The Girls to school. Sobbing. Probably only a matter of time before it turns into weeping, because I am exhausted, and will not have the energy left required to sob. I miss Lester. A lot. I got Lester in November 1998, when I traveled back home to attend my Granny’s funeral. He was the last of a litter of puppies my brother John’s dog, Aubie, had birthed. My brother had already named him Lester, after our Papa, and it really seemed to fit. The picture above was taken about a month after I got him. My reason for wanting him was simple: I had a tiny Miniature Dachshund named Edie who had been an only dog for a year, and she needed a friend. So I paid fifty bucks I didn’t have to put him on the plane with me. She was overjoyed to have a playmate and they have been buddies ever since. At one point, they tried to be more than friends, but we “nipped that in the bud”…literally. Lol. Shortly after Lester came to live with me and Edie, we all went to live with The Man at the beach. It was the beginning of our family. Two lovebirds and their K-9 babies 🙂 Over the years, we added to our family. Three precious daughters and a revolving door of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, lizards, bunnies….you name it! We are animal lovers, what else can I say? Each time a new critter came to hang out at our house, Edie and Lester just shrugged it off. They reigned supreme, and they knew it. We had them first. The Girls have been raised to love living creatures, so it’s no surprise that I have a treasure trove of priceless memories involving them and our pets. If y’all have pets, I’m sure you understand. The obvious drawback, is they don’t live forever. A reality our little family is faced with yet again, in less than a year. Almost a year ago, and just 3 weeks after we lost Leroi, our King Charles Cavalier to diabetes, Lester had a seizure while hanging out on the front lawn. The Man immediately rushed him to the vet. The diagnosis we received sucked. He had a Stage 3 heart murmur and was in congestive heart failure. Due to his robust size…almost 14 pounds…his heart was working in over-drive to circulate his blood. As a result, fluid was collecting around his heart and in his belly, putting pressure on everything. What I thought was a seizure, what in actuality, a heart attack. Essentially, his heart was being squeezed and his breathing compromised. All because he liked to catch scraps more than he liked to exercise, bless his bones! The vet said he would be lucky to make it another year. Medication was prescribed, and he was sent home. We vowed to let him enjoy the time he had left. No holds barred 🙂 All of us, but especially The Girls, took a renewed interest in him. Loved on him more, took him on extra walks, tried to no avail to teach him to play around, rather than just lay around. At first, his medication seemed to keep fluid retention and mini-heart attacks at bay, and put the spring back in his step. Of course all the attention certainly did! The Oldest even began having him sleep with her at night. Lester LOVED that, and sort of became her personal protector. He would seek her out at bedtime, and make her follow him to her room. HE was tired, and it didn’t matter if she was or not. LOL. But we all knew the inevitable was going to happen. We just didn’t know when. An agonizing purgatory to be caught in. About 3 months ago, his ‘episodes’ increased. They became more frequent. Instead of having them once in a while, when he got excited, they often happened a couple of times a day, unprovoked, and he would lose control of his bladder/bowels. Then he would stand back up, and appear normal. However, we noticed a change in his personality. The spark was fading from his eye, he no longer stood at our feet begging for food. You want to know the most notable change though? He stopped his sympathetic crying. Throughout the course of The Girls lives, anytime Lester heard the sound of them crying, he howled like a banshee. Having 3 daughters in the house, you can imagine the amount of crying we witnessed…daily. Lester’s “sympathy” was a running joke among friends and family members. Inevitably, I would be on the phone talking to someone, a sibling rivalry would break out, causing an injury, and one or more of The Girls would cry. Lester would instantaneously begin making a sound that can only be described as shrill and eardrum splitting. “EYE, EYE, EYE, EYE..,” he would howl! In the midst of it all, the doorbell might ring, just because God thought it would add to the chaos and be damn funny. I swore I was going to get it all on video someday, but I couldn’t ever manage to diffuse all the problems and get everyone calmed down while handling a recording device. Go figure. Anyway, about 2 weeks ago the CHF really started digging in and it was clear his time was approaching. His fluid medication was no longer controlling the retention very well. Despite continuing to eat, he was losing weight everywhere except his belly, and his mobility became compromised as a result. He didn’t want to walk anymore. Nothing to do but wait until he indicated he was ready to let go, or that he was in pain. So far, he hadn’t given us any indication of that. Until Sunday morning, when he refused food for the first time in his life. Then Monday night, he started whining. I stayed up with him all night, cradling him in my arms and making him as comfortable as possible. When he lost control of his bladder, I bathed him in warm water, and gently dried him with the blow dryer. I hugged him as tight as I possibly could, without adding to his discomfort, while rocking and whispering to him how much we loved him and how we were going to miss him. I also told him about whom he could expect to see and play with in Heaven: Mama and Daddy; Leroi; Aubie (his mama); Hannah (my sister’s dog); Zoe & Ginger (my in-laws doggies); Mazzy & Keely (Vicky’s kitties); Sasha (Grace’s dog); Lucca (Shea’s dog) and Ben (our neighbor’s dog). I wanted to make sure he knew he would be in good company 🙂 Yesterday morning, The Man said his farewell to Lester before leaving for work. The Girls gave their before heading out to school. They were very brave, and no tears were shed. After the trauma of our loss a year ago, they were, obviously more prepared than I for the void about to be created in our lives. Once everyone had been delivered to their obligatory places, it was up to me. So, with a heart as heavy as stone, yet as fragile as glass, I pulled up my bootstraps, gathered him in his favorite blanket, and drove the half mile to the vet, with him in my lap. For his last visit. It was time to say goodbye to our precious doggie after 13.5 years. He was suffering, and we all knew it. It was the right thing to do, because he needed to rest peacefully. The weather was shitty. Cold, gray and rainy. It’s the same today. Having called ahead, they were expecting me, and the entire staff was very sad. They knew Lester. They loved him too. It was awful, but their compassion made it bearable. He slipped peacefully into eternal rest, with his human mama holding his paw and kissing his nose. Once it was over, I sat in the room with him, alone, for what seemed like an eternity, yet not nearly enough time….crying. And I haven’t stopped since. We sure are going to miss this guy.

An annuity is a contract with an insurance company in which you make one or more payments in exchange for a future income stream in retirement. The funds in an annuity accumulate tax deferred, regardless of which type you select. Because you do not have to pay taxes on any growth in your annuity until it is withdrawn, this financial vehicle has become an attractive way to accumulate funds for retirement. Annuities can be immediate or deferred, and they can provide fixed returns or variable returns. Fixed annuity A fixed annuity is an insurance-based contract that can be funded either with a lump sum or regular payments over time. In exchange, the insurance company will pay an income that can last for a specific period of time or for life. Fixed annuity contracts are issued with guaranteed minimum interest rates. Although the rate may be adjusted, it should never fall below a guaranteed minimum rate specified in the contract. This guaranteed rate acts as a “floor” to potentially protect a contract owner from periods of low interest rates. Fixed annuities provide an option for an income stream that could last a lifetime. The guarantees of fixed annuity contracts are contingent on the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Immediate fixed annuity Typically, an immediate annuity is funded with a lump-sum premium to the insurance company, and payments begin witemi-annually for a guaranteed period of time or for life, whichever is specified in the contract. Only the interest portion of each payment is considered taxable income. The rest is considered a return of principal and is free of income taxes. Deferred fixed annuity With a deferred annuity, you make regular premium payments to an insurance company over a period of time and allow the funds to build and earn interest during the accumulation phase. By postponing taxes while your funds accumulate, you keep more of your money working and growing for you instead of paying current taxes. This means an annuity may help you accumulate more over the long term than a taxable investment. Any earnings are not taxed until they are withdrawn, at which time they are considered ordinary income. Deferred variable annuity A variable annuity is a contract that provides fluctuating (variable) rather than fixed returns. The key feature of a variable annuity is that you can control how your premiums are invested by the insurance company. Thus, you decide how much risk you want to take and you also bear the investment risk. Most variable annuity contracts offer a variety of professionally managed portfolios called subaccounts (or investment options) that invest in stocks, bonds, and money market instruments, as well as balanced investments. Some of your contributions can be placed in an account that offers a fixed rate of return. Your premiums will be allocated among the subaccounts that you select. Unlike a fixed annuity, which pays a fixed rate of return, the value of a variable annuity contract is based on the performance of the investment subaccounts that you select. These subaccounts fluctuate in value with market conditions, and the principal may be worth more or less than the original cost when surrendered. Variable annuities provide the dual advantages of investment flexibility and the potential for tax deferral. The taxes on all interest, dividends, and capital gains are deferred until withdrawals are made. When you decide to receive income from your annuity, you can choose a lump sum, a fixed payout, or a variable payout. The earnings portion of the annuity will be subject to ordinary income taxes when you begin receiving income. Annuity withdrawals are taxed as ordinary income and may be subject to surrender charges plus a 10% federal income tax penalty if made prior to age 59½. Surrender charges may also apply during the contract’s early years. Annuities have contract limitations, fees, and charges, which can include mortality and expense risk charges, sales and surrender charges, investment management fees, administrative fees, and charges for optional benefits. Annuities are not guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency; they are not deposits of, nor are they guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank or savings association. Any guarantees are contingent on the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Variable annuities are sold by prospectus.

Now one of these false ministers came on board our vessel to offer the unhappy gift of these adulterated Bibles; but the commander and myself opposed our. selves to such pernicious generosity. Miserable that they are ! Is it possible that those who are in the dark should give light to those who are in the light, or that the religion which the chief of the Apostles came to preach in their city, and which is maintained pure and ardent as it was handed down from our pious ancestors, should cool in the hearts of Neapolitans ? We confess, we think Padre Capobianco had a right to be indignant; but we must pass on to his account of Boston. He says, “ Boston is a city fortified by nature and by art. It rises upon three most pleasant hills, one of which is Bunkerhill, upon the summit of which towers the famous monument named Bun. kerhill, erected to commemorate the victory gained by the Americans over the English in 1776. It was commenced by the Engineer O'Donnell Webiter, in 1827, under the presidency of the celebrated la Fayette, and finished in 1843."* This actually beats Captain Hall. He goes on : “ The streets of this city are curved and irregular, paved with wood, furnished with wide sidewalks for the convenience of foot-passengers, and spread into delightful squares of surprising cleanliness. It is composed of vast temples, sumptuous establishments, and fine buildings. Among them the City Hall is chiefly worthy of notice. It rises upon a height near to the public garden, and presents a majestic appearance, with columns of white marble, and wide steps leading to the large hall where the senate meets. . . . Among the streets, that one is memorable which his grateful country has dedicated to the memory of him who snatched the lightning from the clouds, that is to say, Franklin. ..... Finally, erected to the adornment of the city are the Exchange, the Custom-house, the Athenæum, the Library, a Museum, a Steam Printing Establishment, and a most beautiful Arsenal, in which is a cabinet enriched with rare and precious articles, ancient and modern, and even from savage nations brought there by the officers of the navy on their return from the most remote portions of the globe.” Certainly Padre Raffaele observed with favorable eyes, prob a * Lest our readers should doubt the accuracy of our translation, we give here the original :-“Esso fu cominciato dall' Ingegniere O'Donnell Webiler nel 1827 sotto la presidenza del celebre la Fayette e terminato nel 1843." ably because the miserable Protestants did not here attempt to molest him. The Urania left Boston in June, and after going to Holland, visited the English ports of Portsmouth, and Plimout, or Plymuth, or Plismhut, for it is spelt in these three ways within as many pages, and thence returned by the usual route to Naples. : 2. - Titus Livius : Selections from the first five Books, together with the Twenty-first and Twenty-second Books entire ; chiefly from the Text of Alschefski, with English Notes for Schools and Colleges. By J. L. LINCOLN, Professor of Latin in Brown University. New York : D. Appleton & Co. 1847. 12mo. pp. 329. Even English scholars admit the light received through Ger. man media, and are glad to profit by it in these days. It was to be expected, then, that Cisatlantic students would strive to lay hold of all means of expanding their field of view, even in ancient history and philology. Accordingly, we find the German philologists and classical editors exerting a very decided influence on the studies of our undergraduates and instructors. Professor Lincoln has spent some time in Germany, adding to his early acquirements in the Latin language, and fitting himself for the office of a teacher. He became, doubtless, soon aware, that, while inost of our means of study have been, within twenty years, vastly improved, some text-books, which were excellent for their time, have been left stationary, and needed revisal to meet the wants of the present race of pupils and teachers. He has performed his duty as editor in a very creditable manner, giving evidence of unpretending but accurate scholarship, and a conscientious regard for the rights of others. It is not an easy task to prepare such a book. On the one hand, the editor must give every needful aid ; he must pass over no difficulty without explanation ; he must stimulate to research, and point the way. Yet, on the other hand, he must not, by too much direct aid, enfeeble and render dependent the minds which are to be educated by him. They must learn to act for them. selves and judge for themselves, or they will be the worse for every aid offered. Above all, he must make honorable and truthful men by his own upright example. The notes of such an editor will be rich in references to works where the principles of grammar and interpretation are devel. We are oped, and where facts in history, geography, and archæology applicable to the text are stated. The desire to benefit others must be alone apparent as his motive. No line he pens should rob another of his due. If possible, it would be well that no passage should be merely translated, and so left. The data may be collected for the pupil, but in nearly all cases it were well, that he should be left to draw for himself the inference which gives him the interpretation. Such, in their main features, are the aids offered by Professor Lincoln. He has taken the latest and most approved text as the foundation of his own. The selections are judicious. particularly pleased with the selection of the entire books which, relate the occurrences during Hannibal's invasion of Italy, an event so momentous and interesting. We must close this notice with the expression of the hope, that all our scholars will remember, while they are provided with such improved instruments for observation as these modern aids for understanding the style and reaching the meaning of the ancients, that their ultimate aim should be, not merely to contemplate the instrument, nor even to observe the phenomena it reveals, but to deduce the great laws of human and divine life and thought displayed thereby. 3. — Locke Amsden, or the Schoolmaster; a Tale. By the Au thor of “ May Martin” and “ The Green Mountain Boys." Boston: B. B. Mussey & Co. 1847. 12mo. pp. 231. This volume, written by Judge Thompson, of Montpelier, Vermont, is greatly superior to his former publications. It is the first novel that we have seen, the main purpose of which is to advocate and improve the American system of common schools. The writer has performed his work with discretion, good sense, and some skill and humor in the delineation of character. He does not dive among transcendental ideas to find a new basis for elementary education, but represents children and facts as they actually exist, and proceeds to point out the best modes of improving the people's colleges. As nineteen children out of twenty in our land receive in these common schools all the instruction which they ever obtain, it is of measureless importance that the schools should be constantly watched, and the proper mode of managing them be generally understood. Locke Amsden comes forward as a judicious and popular advocate of school reform, and discourses with considerable ability about school-houses, ventilation, school-books, school-committees, and competent teachers, as well as the best modes of instruction and government. These topics form the main trunk of the book, round which the author has quite prettily entwined the tendrils of a love-story. While book-learning has its place of honor assigned it, self-culture and habits of reflection not learned from books are strongly inculcated. Captain Bill Bunker is the character introduced to illustrate these qualities. Locke Amsden is the schoolmaster, who shows both sources of knowledge united, and his character is well sustained throughout, though it is less original than that of Bunker. His examination as candidate for the situation of teacher of a country district school is laughable enough, and shows with ludicrous fidelity what a farce is acted over in this respect, every season, in most of our villages and smaller towns. The superiority of the solid to the merely ornamental branches in education is humorously set forth in the contrast between two families. Every young lady in the United States might derive a profitable lesson from this portion of the story. The burning of Carter's house, near the end of the tale, is, we confess, rather too tragic a catastrophe for our taste, though professed novel-readers may not complain of it. The heroine is left in the house, and while her lover and father are vainly seeking for her among the flames, she suddenly appears on the roof, which is about to fall. It required all the sagacity of the ingenious Captain Bunker, and all the desperation of a frantic lover, to rescue her from death; and we must think, that the rescue was effected rather more easily than the perilous cir. cumstances would permit. We know that love, at such a crisis, has giant strength and angel wings; but we remember that gravitation does not, on that account, relax a tittle of its claims. With regard to style, the work is an improvement on May Martin. The language is clear and strong, though there are a few sentences which might be remodelled to advantage. The chief aim of the book is worthy of all praise. It recognizes that central principle in the Prussian system, “ As is the teacher, so is the school”; and its main purpose is to illustrate the doctrine, that competent teachers cannot have bad schools, incompetent teachers cannot have good ones. If New England would elevate her seminaries of learning to the point required for the due support of civilization, liberty, and religion, she must have accomplished teachers. We know of few books on this all-important subject which can be read with more profit by all classes than Locke Amsden, revealing, as it does, the defective systems of instruction that are in use, and suggesting the proper remedy for existing evils. 4. — The Journals of MAJOR SAMUEL Shaw, the first American Consul at Canton. With a Life of the Author, by Josiah Quincy. Boston: Crosby & Nichols. 1847. 8vo. pp. 360. He was This volume is a valuable addition to the materials, not only for our revolutionary, but for our commercial history. The part of the work executed by Mr. Quincy is marked by the grasp and vigor of intellect which have stamped themselves upon all his words and deeds. The memoir of Mr. Shaw is written with excellent taste and judgment. It illustrates one of the most pleasing characters that adorned the times of our great national struggle. Samuel Shaw was born in Boston, October 2d, 1754. educated at the Boston Latin School, that prolific mother of good and great men, under the care of Master Lovell. But instead of going to college at the close of his school-days, he entered the counting-house, where he continued until the troubles with the mother country gave a military turn to his thoughts, and opened a different career from the profession he had chosen. As soon as he attained the age of twenty-one, he enlisted in the ar'my then under Washington, at Cambridge. From this time to the end of the war, he wrote a series of letters, addressed to his father, his brother, and the Rev. Dr. Eliot, which not only display the most amiable qualities, but give very interesting glimpses of the scenes and characters of the Revolution. We are greatly struck with the correctness and elegance of their style, and it is pleasing to observe the classical taste which Mr. Shaw preserved in after life from the discipline of the Latin School. The relations between him and his parents and friends were of the most confidential and delightful kind, and we feel grateful to Mr. Quincy for this peep behind the curtain of the past, into the private life of the olden times in Boston. Some of the earliest of these letters are written from Cambridge, and contain details of the military operations, until the British evacuated Boston. In 1776, Mr. Shaw accompanied the army to New York, whence his correspondence continues, and is filled, not only with notices of military affairs, but pleasant sketches of manners and society there. Among the events particularly described in the letters are the battles of Princeton, Brandywine, Germantown, and Monmouth. It is pleasant to find the young soldier expressing, in confidential correspondence with his own family, in the most ardent terms, his affection and veneration for Washington. “When I contemplate the virtues of

Social distancing requires flexible adaptation to new circumstances, resilience, and a reduction in physical activities, which may be more difficult for patients with PD. Writing in the Journal of Parkinson's Disease, Rick C. Helmich, MD, Ph.D., and Bastiaan R. Bloem, MD, Ph.D., both of the Radboud University Medical Centre; Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behavior; Department of Neurology; Center of Expertise for Parkinson & Movement Disorders; Nijmegen, The Netherlands, say, "The pathophysiology of PD puts patients at an increased risk of chronic stress, and a further worsening of this may well be one of the 'hidden sorrows' of the COVID-19 pandemic. Increased psychological stress can worsen motor symptoms, while reducing the efficacy of dopaminergic medication." They also note that there is some evidence that stress can trigger latent PD. Resilience, or the ability to maintain or quickly recover mental health during and after times of adversity, can protect against the detrimental effects of stress. Dr. Helmich and Dr. Bloem note that the current crisis offers opportunities to see who copes best under the current circumstances, in order to understand the factors that contribute to resilience in PD patients. Mindfulness-based interventions can reduce stress, and they see opportunities for web-based solutions to help reduce anxiety and depression, and also reduce social isolation. Another hidden consequence of the pandemic is a marked reduction in physical activities. Recent evidence has shown that physical exercise may reduce symptom progression in PD. Loss of aerobic exercise may lead to a worsening of motor symptoms in PD and may contribute further to psychological stress. "A hopeful consequence of the current crisis has been the emergence of web-based exercise initiatives such as online singing, exercise, or dance classes for PD patients," note the authors. "Self-management strategies that reduce stress, increase coping, or increase physical exercise will play an increasing role in the treatment of PD." The crisis offers emerging opportunities for PD research, as well. The authors observe that the COVID-19 pandemic is an external stressor that is aligned in time for large groups of people. This provides a unique opportunity for researchers to test how the pandemic influences the course of PD in existing groups of patients enrolled in research studies. It also allows researchers to study what factors increase resilience in PD. "Deleterious as the current crisis may be, it will hopefully also bring about some long-term positive outcomes for the many people living with PD worldwide," observe Dr. Helmich and Dr. Bloem. PD is a slowly progressive disorder that affects movement, muscle control, and balance. It is the second most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder affecting about 3% of the population by the age of 65 and up to 5% of individuals over 85 years of age.

This is a common mistake for many business owners where they build a website and think it automatically will drive customers; Well, that’s mostly wrong! There are more than 1.7 billion websites on the World Wide Web. From billions of search queries that happen daily, there are only a few which get the chance to get clicks. The point is: A standalone website worth absolutely nothing. You need a strategy for your purpose. A master strategy for your website should consists of four main parts: 1- Development 2- Marketing 3- Customer Relations 4- Website Maintenance 1. Development Building a website is usually time-consuming. That’s why we suggested to break it down into several workable phases previously in this post. 2. Digital Marketing Whether you are working on a physical product like a shoe or a digital product like a website, you need a marketing strategy. For websites, Search Engine Optimization is the most important one. It is crucial because of two main reasons: 1- On average, organic search drives more than 80% of inbound traffic to your website. Furthermore, if you are not on the top 6 results, don’t expect to get many calls from Search Results. source: 2- The steps you take to create your SEO strategy are highly useful for the other Digital Marketing strategies like Social Media. Because you have to identify your customers and align them with your brand, products, and services. 3- Customer Relations Customers customers customers! Remember, all your efforts are to engage customers. I have seen many websites that they don’t answer emails or the website owners who even don’t know where their inbox is! Build a website, show it to the customers, and make sure there is someone available for your customers. That is the very first stage of Customer Relationship Management. Then you should add analysis tools to monitor how good you are doing and more CRM tools like chat bots to increase the engagement rate. 4- Maintenance/Innovation The digital world by nature is a fast-paced changing environment. You should keep your knowledge updated along with your website and strategy. 20 years ago it was about a simple website, 8 years ago it was mobile apps, and now it is about data. Successful companies are the ones who adapt their business with all these changes. For such approach: 1- You need to read and 2- You need someone in charge of these changes such as a consultant. Now that we know the importance of the Strategy, we should consider the situation with Covid-19. Because now, the Digital aspect of your business is way more important than the others’. Newspapers may not be an ideal place to post an ad, but a website is.

A Chinese military helicopter flies past Pingtan island, one of mainland China’s closest points to Taiwan on August 4, 2022. China’s largest-ever military exercises encircling Taiwan follow a visit to the self-ruled island by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Hector Retamal | AFP | Getty Images China launched unprecedented live-fire military drills in six areas that ring Taiwan on Thursday, a day after a visit by U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the self-ruled island that Beijing regards as its sovereign territory. Soon after the scheduled start at 0400 GMT, China’s state broadcaster CCTV said the drills had begun and would end at 0400 GMT on Sunday. They would include live firing on the waters and in the airspace surrounding Taiwan, it said. Taiwan officials have said the drills violate United Nations rules, invade Taiwan’s territorial space and are a direct challenge to free air and sea navigation. China is conducting drills on the busiest international waterways and aviation routes and that is “irresponsible, illegitimate behavior,” Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party said. Taiwan’s cabinet spokesman, expressing serious condemnation of the drills, said also that websites of the defense ministry, the foreign ministry and the presidential office were attacked by hackers. Chinese navy ships and military aircraft briefly crossed the Taiwan Strait median line several times on Thursday morning, a Taiwanese source briefed on the matter told Reuters. By midday on Thursday, military vessels from both sides remained in the area and in close proximity. Taiwan scrambled jets and deployed missile systems to track multiple Chinese aircraft crossing the line. “They flew in and then flew out, again and again. They continue to harass us,” the Taiwanese source said. On Wednesday night, just hours after Pelosi left for South Korea, unidentified aircraft, probably drones, flew above the area of Taiwan’s outlying Kinmen islands near the mainland coast, Taiwan’s defense ministry said. China, which claims Taiwan as its own territory and reserves the right to take it by force, said on Thursday its differences with the self-ruled island were an internal affair. “Our punishment of pro-Taiwan independence diehards, external forces is reasonable, lawful,” China’s Beijing-based Taiwan Affairs Office said. China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi called Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan a “manic, irresponsible and highly irrational” act by the United States, state broadcaster CCTV reported. Wang, speaking at a meeting of Southeast Asian foreign ministers in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, said China had made the utmost diplomatic effort to avert crisis, but would never allow its core interests to be hurt. The foreign ministers in a statement had earlier warned that volatility caused by tensions in the Taiwan Strait could lead to “miscalculation, serious confrontation, open conflicts and unpredictable consequences among major powers.” ‘Comrade Pelosi’ Unusually, the drills in six areas around Taiwan were announced with a locator map circulated by China’s official Xinhua news agency earlier this week — a factor that for some analysts and scholars shows the need to play to both domestic and foreign audiences. On Thursday, the top eight trending items on China’s Twitter-like Weibo service were related to Taiwan, with most expressing support for the drills or fury at Pelosi. “Let’s reunite the motherland,” several users wrote. In Beijing, security in the area around the U.S. Embassy remained unusually tight on Thursday as it has been throughout this week. There were no signs of significant protests or calls to boycott U.S. products. “I think this (Pelosi’s visit) is a good thing,” said a man surnamed Zhao in the capital’s central business district. “It gives us an opportunity to surround Taiwan, then to use this opportunity to take Taiwan by force. I think we should thank Comrade Pelosi.” Pelosi, the highest-level U.S. visitor to Taiwan in 25 years, praised its democracy and pledged American solidarity during her brief stopover, adding that Chinese anger could not stop world leaders from travelling there. China summoned the U.S. ambassador in Beijing in protest against her visit and halted severall not abandon Taiwan,” Pelosi told Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen, who Beijing suspects of pushing for formal independence — a red line for China. “Now, more than ever, America’s solidarity with Taiwan is crucial, and that’s the message we are bringing here today.” The United States and the foreign ministers of the Group of Seven nations warned China against using Pelosi’s visit as a pretext for military action against Taiwan. White House national security spokesman John Kirby said earlier in the week that Pelosi was within her rights to visit Taiwan, while stressing that the trip did not constitute a violation of Chinese sovereignty or America’s longstanding “one-China” policy. The United States has no official diplomatic relations with Taiwan but is bound by American law to provide it with the means to defend itself. China views visits by U.S. officials to Taiwan as sending an encouraging signal to the pro-independence camp on the island. Taiwan rejects China’s sovereignty claims, saying only the Taiwanese people can decide the island’s future.. ambassador in Beijing in protest against her visit and halted several agricultural imports from Taiwan.

Yesterday I went to see the movie Pompeii with my sister, I’m really passionate about the Antique Rome, the movie is great, with amazing effects, action, romance… and perhaps something predictable specially if you already knew the history of Pompeii and the Vesuvius… The story was about Milo, who is played by Kit Harington (John Snow in Game of Thrones), a celt child who is forced to fight as a gladiator until the Eruption of the Vesuvius gives him a chance to scape and avenge the murder of his family… the end is a little unpredictable, so I’m not going to spoil that part… What we see in the movie, or maybe what the director wanted we saw, was the words of Pliny the Younger and his description of that disaster and soften it with a little love story

Littler Investigation Toolkit for Employers ASAP Recent al facilities. One facility had over 600 workers infected. At least one news source reported that at least 73 meatpacking and processed food plants have confirmed cases of COVID-19, and at least 15 meatpacking plants and three processed food plants are currently closed. At least 3,581 workers are confirmed sick and at least 17 have died. The guidance supplements rather than replaces other guidance. The guidance reiterates that the virus most often spreads as a result of respiratory droplets being transferred from one person to another, whether sick or asymptomatic, when they are within six feet of each other and someone coughs, sneezes or talks. Although not as common, the virus also spreads by someone touching a surface and then touching their eyes, nose or mouth. The Work Environment This industry is part of this country’s critical infrastructure. Without it, there would be no meat or poultry at stores or restaurants. The employees who work the assembly lines shoulder to shoulder at these facilities are considered “essential workers” who can continue working even after being exposed to people infected with the virus if they follow minimum CDC guidelines.1 These workers are not exposed to the virus through the meat products they handle. Rather, work environments with processing lines and other busy areas in plants where workers are in close contact may substantially contribute to exposure. In addition to working close to one another on processing lines, workers at these facilities often are in close contact and not able to social distance when clocking in or out, during breaks, where they change clothes, and while traveling to and from work in shared transportation. The risk of infection increases among these workers because these close contacts occur for extended periods as many work 10 to12-hour shifts and associate with one another outside of work. The Assessment & Control Plan to Reduce Exposures OSHA laid out extensive measures for meat and poultry facilities to implement by identifying a qualified workplace coordinator responsible for COVID-19 assessment and control planning who is also accessible to employees with COVID-19 concerns. This assessment and plan goes far beyond an existing hazard communication plan, which must also be up-to-date. The plan should apply to everyone entering the facility. To address the hazard created by potential exposures, a comprehensive plan will consider various screening methods for those entering the facility, contact tracing to identify exposed employees, engineering and administrative controls to limit exposures including the use of appropriate PPE and improved sanitation. The hierarchy of controls requires that an employer eliminate processes that create exposure where possible and that engineering controls be used, if available, before employers resort to administrative controls. Suggested Controls OSHA’s primary focus is on social distancing, improving air ventilation and sanitation. To create Social Distancing, facilities can: Change productions practices to increase space between workers Modify alignment of workstations so workers do not face each other Stagger reporting and break times Cohort teams to limit each worker’s exposure to their team Add additional shifts to reduce number of workers on each shift Use markings and signs to remind workers to maintain distance Use physical barriers (e.g., strip curtains, Plexiglas or other dividers/partitions) Create one-way traffic flow through facility Rearrange chairs/tables and add partitions to tables in rest and break areas Identify additional areas where employees can take breaks Add additional time clocks or introduce new method for time entry Add transportation options and limit number of passengers in vehicles To improve Air Ventilation, HVAC engineers should ensure adequate ventilation to reduce exposures. And, fans that help with heat hazards that often blow air at workers should be redesigned or removed to prevent the spread of airborne or aerosolized viruses. To improve Sanitation, facilities should: Add several hand-washing stations and hand sanitizers throughout the facility with at least 60% alcohol Offer extra breaks to wash or sanitize hands (up to one break every 30 minutes where possible) Use no-touch water, sanitizers, tissue dispensers and trash cans Clean and disinfect tools regularly, at least as often as tools change hands Clean physical barriers, doors and commonly touched items at least every shift Clean and disinfect common areas Ensure proper coughing/sneezing etiquette Use face coverings (discussed below) To Screen people as they enter the facility, OSHA suggests what has become the customary controls from checking temperatures to verbally confirming a person does not have symptoms. Viral and antibody testing are potential new options as their efficacy improves. However, OSHA reminds employers that they must keep any medical record (temperature, viral screening, etc.) for 30 years after employment. 29 CFR 1910.1020(d)(1). Ensuring ill workers do not come to work and that they are not contagious when they return are necessary to limit exposure. The workers screening others as they enter the facility must be protected by using physical barriers/dividers or rope and stanchion systems, to maintain at least six feet between screeners and the workers being screened. Screeners who are within six feet of workers must have appropriate PPE such as gloves, gown, face shield and N95 respirator or face mask. Additional ways to reduce potential exposures include: Modify sick leave to ensure sick employees are not at work Ensure workers are not penalized for taking sick leave Advance sick leave or allow donations of leave Signage (stay home, sneeze etiquette, sanitization) at entrance, break areas and locker rooms in all the languages common in the workplace The New Normal – Face Coverings Face coverings are a top infection control method certain to be used in most workplaces. Unlike N95 respirators and surgical masks, face coverings are not PPE. The CDC first suggested that anyone who cannot stay at least six feet away from others in public should wear a face covering as it reduces the spread of the virus by that person who does not know they are infected when they talk, sneeze or cough. Many states and localities have face covering orders that range from requiring everyone in public to only certain employees to wear them. OSHA leaves it up to employers to decide whether their control plans or applicable local laws require face coverings. But, if face coverings are used, employers should ensure the coverings are made with appropriate material and designed to fit comfortably, yet snuggly, without restricting breathing. OSHA suggests that meat and poultry processors use face shields to protect face coverings from process-related splashes and other contamination. Where face coverings are used, employers must provide clean, dry face coverings to replace wet, soiled or contaminated ones. Training and Proper PPE Must be Part of the Plan OSHA reminds employers that training records must be kept up-to-date. And, in the current pandemic, employers must provide workers additional training on COVID-19 hazards including not to touch their nose, mouth, or eyes with unwashed hands. Workers should know the signs and symptoms of infection and how to prevent exposure through proper cough/sneeze etiquette, handwashing/sanitization, social distancing, and how to properly use face coverings and PPE like gloves and face shields. Once the employer conducts its hazard assessment and determines what PPE is needed, OSHA warns employers to consider additional hazards created by poorly fitting PPE (e.g., mask ties that dangle or catch, PPE that is loose and requires frequent adjustment or tends to fall off) with respect to the work environment (e.g., machinery in which PPE could get caught). OSHA further suggests using disposable PPE, and that non-disposable PPE remain at the facility. Face shields are recommended with face coverings, as discussed above, and they can replace some safety glasses, which may fog up when used with a face covering. Face shields, like all PPE, should be cleaned and decontaminated after each shift. Conclusion Given the number of infections and deaths of workers in meat and poultry processing facilities, OSHA will be conducting inspections of these employers. This guidance will serve as a checklist of items an OSHA Investigator will determine whether a facility has implemented. OSHA likely considers this guidance notice to employers of possible abatement methods that they should take. Following this guidance may assist employers in demonstrating the good faith that OSHA claims it will consider in exercising its discretion whether to issue citations. Employers in the meat and poultry industry that need assistance interpreting and implementing this guidance should consult counsel. See Footnotes 1 The guidelines permit exposed employees to continue working so long as they remain asymptomatic, the employer takes the employee’s temperature before entering the facility for work, the employee self-monitors for symptoms, wears a N95 or surgical mask for 14 days, practices social distancing by maintaining six feet from others as work duties permit, and the facility is routinely cleaned and disinfected.

Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle says “witnesses are coming forward” to corroborate his claim that he decked former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura after anti-war Ventura supposedly told Kyle he “deserve(d) to lose a few guys” at a military wake. As I previously posted, Ventura vehemently and completely denies the account and has demanded a retraction from Fox News. Fox News’ The Five not only cheered Kyle for having (supposedly) punched Ventura, guest co-host Brian Kilmeade called it Kyle’s “greatest takedown ever.” The Five followed up on their original discussion about Kyle with a second one featuring Ventura’s denial but that was treated as nothing more than an occasion to double down on their smears of Ventura.

The same Monica Crowley who thought CBS’ Bob Schieffer gave secretly coded campaign suggestions to David Axelrod, who saw attacks on Rush Limbaugh as a stealth way to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine and – my personal favorite – blamed the Obama administration for her decision not to eat a cheeseburger – that Monica Crowley has a new conspiracy theory, that the Occupy Wall Street movement was set up in advance to help President Obama attack Mitt Romney, his likely opponent.

In fact, it was too big and too important to include just one person, apparently – except Cain himself. It just so happens that he’ll reveal the big news at an upcoming speech he was able to talk about. Nevertheless, the details Cain leaked sounded suspiciously – just as in last week’s big announcement – like it's going to be “9-9-9” all over again.

Not only does he think they're terrorists and traitors; but he once stated that Hitler would have been a member of the ACLU. As the saying goes, you ain't seen nothing yet. Now that the NY ACLU has requested documents pertaining to the Nassau County Police Department's alleged assistance in what appears to be some serious "cockblocking" on the part of family values paragon, Bill O'Reilly, expect even more attacks on the ACLU. In the mood for more delicious dish, read on.

But Hannity seems to like West and suddenly, Hannity was a vision of racial sensitivity – even if it was mostly, if not entirely for African American, conservatives. Still, you’ve got to love how West gives Hannity the straight poop yet manages to remain affable and even affectionate.

Hannity Flabbergasted Over Perry’s “Vulture Capitalism” Attacks On Romney Posted by Ellen · January 11, 2012 12:07 PM · 9 reactions Republican lap dog Sean Hannity was rendered speechless and stammering last night (1/10/12) when, during a discussion about the results of the New Hampshire primary and the upcoming South Carolina primary, Republican candidate Rick Perry lit into his rival Mitt Romney in what sounded a lot like an attack that could have come from a Democrat – by savaging Romney’s record as a “vulture capitalist” at Bain Capital. Hannity sputtered but had no real response. It’s Through The Looking Glass with the GOP!

In the 80's they directed violent fury against Dr. George Tiller's Kansas City clinic and we all know how that ended. While they have moderated their tactics, they are part of the mainly GOP war on women's reproductive choice which is now heavily invested in destroying Planned Parenthood. Their newest guerilla tactic involves obtaining 911 calls from Planned Parenthood which purport to show malfeasance on the part of this organization that they so loathe. That Fox News is their media mouthpiece is shown by Fox Nation's sourcing of an Operation Rescue article which, like much of what is promoted on Fox News, is a classic example of the propaganda being used to destroy and deny reproductive choice inAmerica.

Our curriculum integrates ready-to-implement strategies and real-world examples necessary to pace far ahead of the established status quo. The learning experiences will enable you to further develop and streamline operating practices, market and position your business, implement new technologies, and manage your bottom line. NEW!! We have also expanded the education portfolio beyond the credentialing courses listed below with our new online microEd courses located in the Learning Center. They are a skill-based approach to learning that delivers information in small, highly focused chunks so that you can find quick answers to specific problems. Online and virtual courses offered by REBI through the Learning Center do not offer CE credit. REBI is not a school or CE provider. Our online, virtual, and classroom offerings attract students from multiple states and countries. This makes it prohibitive to obtain and award CE given the various CE requirements from each state's Real Estate Commission. If CE is your primary objective, it may be offered from a provider licensing our courses. Review the course calendar and contact the provider directly to determine if their course offering includes CE.

Sir, with his comments on the role of the overseas territories, Labour leader Ed Miliband shows himself as more hopelessly out of touch in relation to international tax avoidance than in relation to domestic matters. In fact, the overseas territories have maintained complete records on ultimate beneficial ownership to the international gold standard set by the OECD for more than two decades. Quite what the OECD would make of Mr Miliband’s threatened report, given the OECD’s own verification on the subject and the Overseas Territories’ commitment to the OECD Automatic Reporting Standard, is a matter for conjecture and possible further embarrassment. Nor, in the light of the unlimited powers to undertake investigation of these beneficial owners granted by the overseas territories to the Internal Revenue Service and HM Revenue & Customs by treaty, does Mr Miliband’s suggestion that the “authorities” have been hampered in undertaking tax investigations bear any relation to the reality. OECD secretary-general Angel Gurria has stated that companies cannot be blamed for taking advantage of lawful tax avoidance, and indeed it is to domestic tax legislation on transfer pricing (ironically based on the OECD model) that Mr Miliband should look if he wishes to capture the “billions” to which he refers. An informed politician genuinely concerned about tax evasion and tax avoidance as opposed to making populist soundbites should be lauding the standards of transparency set by overseas territories as the example to which other jurisdictions, notably the wholly opaque US corporate centres of Delaware, Wyoming and Nevada, should now be held, and making a more details inquiry into the double tax treaty abuses that are routinely adopted in the European centres.

What is Wiggin’s lawful basis for processing your personal data? Under the GDPR, we must identify a lawful basis for processing your personal data, and that basis may vary according to the type of personal data processed and the individual to whom it relates, and the nature of the processing. Performance of a contract with you (where applicable) If you are a private client or an individual supplier or other individual with a direct contractual relationship with us, we process the personal data we require in order to fulfil our obligations under our contract with you. The legitimate interests of Wiggin or a third party We may process your personal data on the lawful basis that it is in our legitimate interests and/or the legitimate interests of a third party to do so. This will primarily apply when we provide legal advice and services to our clients. Our legitimate interest in such instances is the proper performance of our role as an authorised and regulated provider of legal services. Our clients also have a legitimate interest (and a more general right in law) in obtaining legal advice and services. Our broad interest in the provision of legal services as a basis for processing your personal data, and our clients’ corresponding interest in the receipt of such services, can be broken down into more discrete categories which may include (but are not limited to): contacting individuals relevant to our work and our clients’ matters, which may involve the use of your personal data; reviewing documents and correspondence that have been disclosed to us, our clients and third parties which may contain your personal data; reviewing and analysing evidence available to us and our clients which may contain your personal data; adducing legal arguments and preparing documents and correspondence which may contain your personal data; disclosing documents and correspondence which may contain your personal data to various parties in the furtherance of our clients’ objectives; instructing third parties on behalf of our clients; receiving payments from our clients and third parties and facilitating payments to our clients and third parties; and to allow for all of the above, the secure management and storage of your personal data within our IT environment and hard copy filing systems. We may also process your personal data on the basis that it is necessary for our legitimate interest in the effective management and running of our firm, which may include (but is not limited to): engaging suppliers and supplier personnel; interviewing prospective staff members; ensuring that our systems and premises are secure and running efficiently; for regulatory and legislative compliance and related auditing and reporting; for marketing and general business development purposes; for insurance purposes; to facilitate, make and receive payments, and to collect money owing to us. We do not consider that the processing of your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests as described above is likely to result in any unwarranted prejudicial effect on your rights and freedoms or your own legitimate interests, and we regularly review our systems and processes to ensure that remains the case. Compliance with a legal obligation to which Wiggin is subject In certain circumstances, we may be obliged process personal data in order to comply with our legal obligations.

Special category personal data If we process any special category personal data, which is data relating to your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious and philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, health data, biometric data or sexual orientation, we will obtain your explicit consent to that processing, unless this is not required by law (because, for example, it is processed for the purpose of exercising or defending legal claims) or the information is required to protect your health in an emergency. Where we are processing personal data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time by emailing us at and describing the specific consent that you wish to withdraw. To whom do we disclose your personal data? We will disclose your personal data internally within Wiggin LLP and (if applicable) its associated businesses to those members of staff who provide legal services to you or your business, and/or to other members of staff with whom you or your employer or agent makes contact. We may disclose your personal data to third parties (outside Wiggin), but only when it is necessary to do so, and subject to our obligations of confidentiality. Such recipients include but are not limited to: other clients and contacts; co-counsel, other law firms whom we instruct on your behalf; our insurance brokers and underwriters; our bank, auditors and accountants; debt collectors; our outsourced IT providers and other suppliers; HMRC; the Solicitors Regulation Authority; the Law Society; the Home Office and HM Passport Office; the other side and/or other parties on any given matter (lay and solicitor). We may also need to disclose your personal data in the course of business to our consultants who operate in the UK and in the USA, to staff in our Brussels office, and to our associated and related businesses (including INCOPRO, Overmorrow, Viewfinder, Reviewed & Cleared, Cirkus). Your personal data is also likely to be disclosed to one or more third party service providers who provide us with IT and other technical services, and those service providers act as data processors under our control. We take suitable steps as required by law to ensure that, where the other party concerned is a data processor, they have appropriate data security systems in place and process data solely in accordance with our instructions. Is your personal data transferred outside the EEA, and if so what safeguards are in place? Some of the third-party service providers we use and some of our consultants are based in, or carry out their activities in, the European Economic Area (EEA). Until such time as the Brexit transition period expires on 31 December 2020 no additional safeguards are required for the transfer of data to/from the EEA.

You can view the Commission’s decision which includes these standard clauses via this link: After the decision of the CJEU in the Schrems II case, in which the CJEU found thatwe have been monitoring the instances in which personal data is transferred to the US to establish whether any such transfer presents a significant risk to your rights and freedoms even when done under the relevant EU Model Clauses. If it does, we commit to making necessary changes. How do we protect your personal data? We have robust security arrangements in place to guard against unauthorised access, use, alteration or destruction of, or the accidental loss of, your personal data. We take appropriate technical and organisational security measures and have rules and procedures in place to ensure that any personal data we hold that is parure client confidentiality. We have in place, and strictly comply with, an information security policy which determines the security standards we use to protect your personal data.

The common cold, including chest cold and head cold, and seasonal flu are caused by viruses, whether you succumb to a virus depends on the strength of your immune system at the time of infection. Flu symptoms are similar but are usually more severe than cold symptoms and come on quickly. Symptoms of flu include sore throat, fever, headache, muscle aches and soreness, congestion, and cough. If you’re otherwise healthy, look after yourself at home by resting, keeping warm and drinking plenty of water to avoid dehydration.If you feel unwell and have a fever, you can take paracetamol or anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen to lower your temperature and relieve aches. Children under 16 shouldn’t be given aspirin. If its a cold, studies have repeatedly shown that taking a daily supplement of 1 gram of vitamin C or more reduces the incidence, severity and duration. Obviously optimum nutrition, together with immune-boosting nutrients during cold epidemics, can produce even better results. Here’s what to do if you are suffering: Dietary advice Avoid all dairy products, eggs and excessive meat or soya consumption since these foods are mucus forming.

Retailers in Bahrain are expecting demand to grow in the coming days for the new iPhone 5, despite charging almost double the amount for the device than it is fetching in the US. The latest model of the phone, which has been flying off the shelves in America, has been priced at a minimum of BD445 ($1,183.51) in Bahrain. It is already available in at least two shops less than a week after its launch. The smartphone is being sold in Geant Hypermarket for BD445 and Romance Phone in the Gosi Complex, Hoora, for BD449, while in the US the 16GB unlocked phone costs around $650 (about BD245). It was released in the US on September 21 and has already sold more than five million units to date. However, retailers yesterday reported a slow response in Bahrain - but added the phone had only been in the market for a day. "We just started selling the iPhone. I can't say anything about the morning sales, but this afternoon no phones have been sold as yet," said a Geant representative yesterday. "It is still very new and I am sure it will pick up. It is being sold for BD445." LuLu Hypermarket is taking orders for the new iPhone and advertising it at BD449 for the 16GB version. Romance Phones was among the first of the smaller outlets to get its hands on the new iPhone and had sold one yesterday. "We have it in the shop," said Romance Phone saleswoman Charly Eliot. "It arrived at about 8pm on Sunday and we have only sold one so far.” "It is slimmer than the earlier iPhone models and feels much lighter.” "At the moment we only have the 16GB version but we will be getting the others soon,” she said. – TradeArabia News Service

After implanting a 10-carat pink diamond onto his forehead, Lil Uzi Vert inadvertently put a target on his head from opps. Now, record producer Southside claims he prevented the 26-year-old rapper from being robbed by a Migos rhymer. On Thursday (April 1), following a tension-filled Instagram Live between Yung Miami and Lil Uzi, in which the two rappers addressed the strained relationship they've acquired since JT and Uzi began dating publicly, Southside, who shares a child with City Girls rapper Yung Miami, stepped in to defend Miami's honor. Amid Southside's heated statements, he revealed he prevented Offset and others from robbing Uzi. "I'm the same nigga that saved you from getting robbed from Offset and them, nigga don't forget that," Southside disclosed. "I'm the same nigga. I was the only nigga that had blicks on me nigga. I'm the same nigga that kept you from getting your jewelry took." The 808 Mafia member didn't give any timeframe as to when the alleged attempted robbery occurred or if the other Migos members were involved in the alleged heist. Elsewhere in the video, which is no longer available on Southside's social media account, the 32-year-old producer encouraged Uzi to avoid any potential issues between the two women rappers, saying, "If you don't like my bitch, don't like my bitch. Let them do them. I don't get in they shit. We don't get in they problems. Stay the little weirdo you is, nigga. Keep rocking purses, keep doing that bitch shit you doing. I ain't with none of that playin', bro. None of that, none of that playing." South's comments come after Uzi and Yung Miami, born Caresha Brownlee, got into a seemingly heated conversation on Instagram Live last night. In the clips shared on IG, Uzi can be heard saying, "Caresha, it ain't even about that ’cause you know I ain't ever gotta see you like you don't ever gotta see me." Lil Uzi's comments follow the "Pussy Talk" rapper insisting she's OK with her and Uzi not being friends. While JT's face doesn't appear on the livestream, her voice can be heard attempting to coax Uzi off the phone. The IG Live then comes to a close after the "Chrome Heart Tags" rhymer informs JT that she isn't getting on the Live chat. In an Instagram Live that took place last month, Miami and JT first alluded to issues between the 2016 XXL Freshman and Yung Miami. "Ever since Uzi cussed me out, I don't play with him," Yung Miami started. "Uzi cleared me, bitch. He said, 'Bitch, I don't know you.' And I said, 'OK.'" JT admitted to being in the middle of their issues, then told Miami, "I'ma take your side. But I'ma tell you you wrong and I'ma beg you to apologize to him later." That portion about Uzi starts at the 12:00-minute mark. Southside isn't the only person to take offense to Uzi's tone when speaking to Yung Miami. Twitter users who tuned in to the chat expressed their concerns, writing statements like, "Lol don't talk to Caresha like dat." To this, Uzi replied, "That's my gf bestie I was playin with her that's my family." JT also confirmed that Uzi was joking in a tweet she drafted yesterday. "All y'all want is a show!," the Quality Control Music rhymer typed. "NOBODY ain't gone do shit to nobody! He was joking fuck who don't believe it y'all chop lives up, do the most for post I'm glad y'all got entertainment." It's possible Uzi and Yung Miami were playing a fun April Fool's Day prank on their followers, which got taken too seriously. On April 1, JT continued to weigh in on the social media circus surrounding the events with a tweet that read, "Y'all just like him extra as fuck, please go ’head." A fan replied to her tweet, writing, "Naaa it's just you needa control him you was a lil to calm to it." In a final reply, before wrapping up this conversation, the 28-year-old Miami native added, "I wasn't about to give y'all a show he already was doing it I put him in his place politely but you know if y'all don't have a story y'all make one." A similar interaction took place between JT and another set of fans who questioned why she didn't do more to gain control over the talk between her two loved ones. Since Twitter erupted into a fire pit of City Girls fans questioning JT's character and loyalty to her group member, JT has opted to close down her Twitter account until further notice.

FILE - Canadian astronaut Robert Thirsk talks with students from Rockcliffe Elementary School as they get a first look at The Living In Space exhibit during its unveiling at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa on Thursday, May 12, 2011. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick) CALGARY - The experience may be out-of-this-world but research indicates those who travel to outer space suffer from increased bone loss. A study released Thursday from the Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary followed 17 astronauts before and after their space flights. The TBone study, conducted over a seven-year period starting in 2015, found that prolonged weightlessness accelerated bone loss in the astronauts. "We found that weight-bearing bones only partially recovered in most astronauts one year after spaceflight," said Dr. Leigh Gabel, an assistant professor in the faculty of kinesiology and lead author of the study. "This suggests the permanent bone loss due to spaceflight is about the same as a decade worth of age-related bone loss on Earth." The researchers travelled to Johnson Space Center in Houston to scan the wrists and ankles of the astronauts before they left for space, on their return to Earth then after six months and one year. The findings, published in Scientific Reports, said the loss happens because bones that would normally be weight-bearing on Earth, such as the legs, don't have to carry weight in a zero gravity setting. "We've seen astronauts who had trouble walking due to weakness and lack of balance after returning from spaceflight to others who cheerfully rode their bike on Johnson Space Center campus to meet us for a study visit," said Dr. Steven Boyd, director of the McCaig Institute for Bone and Joint Health and professor in the Cumming School of Medicine. "There is quite a variety of response among astronauts when they return to Earth." The study found some astronauts who flew on shorter missions, under six months, recovered bone strength and density in the lower body compared to those who flew for longer durations. As future space missions are exploring travel to more distant locations, the study's next iteration plans to look at the effects of even longer trips, to support astronauts who may one day travel beyond the International Space Station. The University of Calgary's former chancellor and astronaut, Robert Thirsk, said he knows how difficult it can be to be back on solid ground. "Just as the body must adapt to spaceflight at the start of a mission, it must also readapt back to Earth's gravity field at the end," he said. "Fatigue, light-headedness and imbalance were immediate challenges for me on my return. Bones and muscles take the longest to recover following spaceflight. But within a day of landing, I felt comfortable again as an Earthling." The study was funded by the Canadian Space Agency in partnership with the European Space Agency, NASA and astronauts from North America, Europe, and Asia. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 30, 2022.

WASHINGTON/MOSCOW, Sept 9 (Reuters) – U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry will meet counterparts from Saudi Arabia and Russia starting on Monday, sources familiar with the matter said, as the Trump administration encourages oil-producing countries to keep output up two months before it is due to renew sanctions on Iran’s crude exports. Perry will meet Khalid al-Falih, Saudi Arabia’s energy minister, and other officials from the kingdom, the world’s largest oil exporter, in Washington on Monday morning, a U.S. government source said. The U.S. energy secretary will also meet with Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak on Thursday in Moscow, the U.S. source and a diplomatic source said. High oil prices are a political risk for President Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans in Nov. 6 congressional elections. Global oil prices have risen to more than $76 a barrel in recent weeks on concerns about sanctions on Iran’s oil exports that Washington will renew on Nov. 4. Trump withdrew the United States in May from the nuclear deal with Iran, and he is pushing consuming countries to cut their purchases of Iranian oil to zero. The administration may issue some waivers, but some countries, including India, have already reduced purchases of the oil ahead of the sanctions. Enlarge U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry speaks to reporters during a briefing at the White House in Washington, U.S., June 27, 2017. REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque<br /> Perry will be the most senior U.S. official to visit Russia since Trump met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki in July to try to improve ties that have dipped to a post-Cold War low. Moscow and Washington are at odds over U.S. accusations of Russian meddling in U.S. politics, Syria, Ukraine and the poisoning of a former Russian spy in Britain. Officials from the United States and Russia, two of the world’s largest oil and natural gas producers, formerly met regularly to discuss energy issues. Those meetings stopped in 2014 after Russia annexed Crimea. Trump has said he wants to improve ties, but his administration is considering imposing new sanctions on Moscow, as is the U.S. Congress. Novak has said the United States should not be permitted to impose such sanctions without a vote of the U.N. Security Council, of which Russia is a permanent member. Perry and Novak, who last met in June in Washington, will likely discuss Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline project to carry Russian gas to Germany under the Baltic Sea. Trump and former U.S. President Barack Obama have criticized the project, saying it would increase Russian influence in Europe, but Germany supports the pipeline. Perry and Novak are also expected to discuss oil market cooperation between OPEC, of which Saudi Arabia is the largest producer, and non-OPEC countries, including Russia. OPEC and non-OPEC officials will meet later this month to discuss proposals for sharing an oil output increase, after the groups decided in June to boost output moderately. Perry, al-Falih and Darren Woods, the chief executive of ExxonMobil Corp, were introduced on Saturday to the crowd at a Texas A&M University football game in College Station, Texas. All three graduated from the university.

Personal preference remains an essential consideration-how much liveable space you want or need in your bedroom largely is determined by your notion of an appropriate room. However, there are physical constraints at play in this example. So here are some important things to consider when deciding which bed size is befitting your bedroom. Get the real measurements of your bedroom. In the event that you don’t know the dimensions of your bedroom, it’s time and energy to use a tape measure and get the distance, width, and doorframe measurements. It’s also beneficial to include measurements of potential foundation space. For instance, define the distance of the wall membrane you’ll place your foundation against. Consider home windows, doorframes, and built-ins that you can’t block, and don’t ignore to notice the clearance necessary for doorways that swing in to the room. Envision different foundation sizes in your room. Picture what it’s prefer to get dressed, open your closet and perform any alternative activities that typically happen in your bedroom- like stretching, reading or planning for the day. Walk around. Do you are feeling cramped? Can it feel like the foundation is swallowed in the space of the room? Getting point of view on the organized furniture in your genuine bedroom will help you make a much better mattress-size decision. You can read bed size comparison Guide to choose perfect mattress for your good night sleep. Consider the furniture you have finally and purchases you’re planning soon. If you’ve decided that a reading chair, a television unit or a larger dresser is a required addition to your bedroom, make sure you see that space as well. If you’re planning for a room in a fresh home, add your furniture measurements to your room renderings. If you’re dealing with a tiny space, you might be able to fit a ruler bed and a dresser against adjacent wall space. But are you considering in a position to stand before your dresser, open the drawers and placed on a set of pants? Several inches put into the width of an dresser may need that you change you room structure. Keep future acquisitions in mind as you take into account different bed options. Decide which is more important: a bigger bed or even more living space. If you really want a sizable bed, but tight living quarters have a king size bed out of the equation, look at a California ruler. It’s typically four ins longer than a ruler but also four ins narrower. Here are some bed dimensions uk guide as per below Small Single 2’6” x 6’3” Single 3’0” x 6’3” Small Double (Queen) 4’0” x 6’3” Double 4’6” x 6’3” King Size 5’0” x 6’6” Super King Size 6’0” x 6’6” These are the typical sizes of mattresses and mattresses in the united kingdom, but make sure to always check - just in case. Some retailers have their own foundation and mattresses, which is actually annoying since it means you have to buy both bedframe and the bed from the same store, instead of having the ability to combination and match. Another way to reclaim living space in preparation for a more substantial mattress is to help make the almost all of your closet and organize your space for storage more efficiently. For example, you can put a chest of drawers in the walk-in closet or better utilize under-the-bed space. People often go as far as to design an area around the foundation size they need. Modern, minimalist furniture will create more liveable space and allow anyone to buy a greater mattress. Mattresses will often have an extended enough life expectancy to make sure you get plenty useful out of them before they need to be replaced. Some may need a replacement sooner than others but, if it’s of the high-quality materials, you should expect a lifespan of between 7 and a decade. The proper cleaning and can ensure it lives much longer, lasting much more than a decade. If it’s needs to feel just a little worn-out after a decade, it’s time for a replacement. Buying the right bed can help you get a good night’s sleeping, since it can help offer you support and comfort. When buying a mattress, the very the first thing that you need to consider is how long should a mattress last? Why? Because away from being a significant investment, this is one purchase that you don’t want to regret over time. What influences the life expectancy of your bed? Use frequency: If it’s used less frequently, it'll last long, putting it simple. A mattress in a less-used guest room can last much longer than the bed you sleeping on every evening. Body weight: The bigger your body, the greater pressure on the bed. Similarly, small your body, the less compression. More pressure causes a bed to degrade sooner, so the lighter the body, the much longer the lifespan. Activity and use: Beyond sleeping onto it, the more you utilize it, a lot more it wears down. This consists of placing heavy or razor-sharp objects onto it or eating and drinking on the foundation. Spillages and other harm can also weaken a mattress Cleaning: This may improve your mattress lifespan as it can not only be rid of bacteria but also dust particles mites and insects that cause destruction.

When he arrives in remote Saskatchewan, he encounters a beautiful young woman who repeatedly warns him to stay away from the project. Enraptured by her beauty, Howland struggles to heed her warnings and finds himself trapped in a deadly situation. An action-packed adventure story from the famous adventure author James Oliver Curwood. James Oliver Curwood (1878-1927) was an American author and conservationist. A writer predominantly of adventure stories, his imaginative tales were the source of much inspiration for Hollywood and over 150 movies have been produced based on his works. Born in Michigan, Curwood began his writing career as a reporter before being hired by the Canadian government to write travel accounts to promote tourism to the area. His Canadian travels provided the setting for many of his adventure stories, and he often used animals as the main characters in his tales. One of the highest paid authors in the world at the time of his death, some of Curwood’s best-loved novels include ‘The River’s End’, ‘The Wolf Hunters’ and ‘The Danger Trail’.
