10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Cell Phones
Just when we feel comfortable enough to say "wow, cell phones have really changed the way we operate," things get even weirder. Here are 10 facts about cells from around the world that show the scale and style of our contemporary global use; sometimes for bad, but sometimes for real, cool, innovative good.
1. There Are LOTS of Them
There are half as many active cell phones on the planet as there are people. When you think of the general wealth distribution across the planet, it's pretty remarkable to have over 3.3 billion active mobiles. Then again, Luxembourg's mobile phone penetration rate is 158%. Yep - that's 158 active cell phones for every 100 people.
2. And They Make a Mess
125+ million phones are discarded every year. Given the rate at which people go through cell phones (Koreans replace on average every 11 months), it's easy to see how the environmental side can get out of control. At least there's gold in the garbage! Yarr.
3. M-Voting in Estonia
While the 2008 US election is abuzz with web penetration, E-stonia's been leading the global technopolitical charge. As Lithuania books a seat on the e-voting (online voting) train, Estonia's letting mobile phones both act as a convenient vote delivery platform, but also a personal identity confirmation, ushering in a new era of what is being called "m-voting".
4. Koreans Love to Text Message. Seriously.
Korean teenagers between 15 and 19 years of age send well over 20,000 text messages a year, on average (60.1 texts per day). I don't care how fast StarCraft has made your fingers - that's a lot of time that could have been spent… I dunno… talking to people. According to the Korea Times in February 2006, "over 30% of South Korean students send 100 text messages a day".
5. The First Cell Phone Came Out in 1983
Well, at least, the first to get FCC acceptance. It was called the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X. Before you lolz at the cheesebag name, wait until you hear what it stands for: Dynamic Adaptive Total Area Coverage. Kinda endearing, I guess. They sound… proud.
6. Cell Phone… Or Flashlight?
Lost power? Sneaking back into bed? According to a Sprint survey, just under two-thirds of cell phone users use the backlight as a flashlight. A testament to human ingenuity! I guess it's obvious, in a way. And here I thought I was being clever.
7. You Can Get Stuffed Into a Locker Through Your Phone
Ok, not really, but apparently text message bullying is on the rise in England. As an online anti-cyber-bullying guide explains, text message bullying allows for abuse around the clock. You want to pick on some kid, he's available 24/7. It's like those massive Blackberry ads at airports that boast that you now never have to leave the office. Bullying has never been more efficient!
8. Cell Phones Can Help Stop Nuclear Terrorism
Using solid-state radiation sensors, researchers at Purdue University are working to allow network of properly set up cell phones to track the presence of radioactive material. Since likely targets for terrorist attacks are major urban centers, and since most people have cell phones, this system could help collectively find out where the problem lies.
9. Used for National Disaster Response
Mobiles are more useful during an emergency than just for calling loved ones. Other countries have adopted systems whereby phone companies automatically warn citizens of emergencies/disasters - free of charge. Finland, in 2005, adopted such a system, as did Japan.
10. Half of Japan's Top Fiction Was Written on Mobile Phones
Absolutely nuts. Turning the publishing industry on its head, this trend's subscriber models are thriving and making significant money for aspiring writers, in turn fueling the phenomenon. Authors tend to be young women sharing fictionalized aspects of their lives. Five of the top ten works of fiction in 2007 were written on mobile phones. Japan, you never cease to amaze me.

Secret Service returns fraudulent pandemic loans to Small Business Administration
A secret service agent.
Julia Nikhinson | PA
The US Secret Service has repaid $286 million in fraudulently obtained pandemic relief loans to the Small Business Administration, the agency said on Friday.
The funds returned to the SBA were obtained through the Economic Disaster Loan Program (EIDL) using both fabricated information and stolen identities.
The suspects used Green Dot Bank, a fintech institution, to hold and move the fraudulent funds. More than 15,000 accounts were used in the plot, by individuals in the United States as well as domestic and transnational organized crime networks, the agency said.
Investigations are ongoing and further information on the suspects was not immediately released. The An investigation was launched by the Secret Service Field Office in Orlando, Florida, and Green Dot Bank worked with the agency to identify the fraudulent accounts.
"Scammers in general are always looking for ways and techniques to do their crimes better and modern conveniences are just one of those things they use. So right now cryptocurrency is a big thing, the fintechs, third-party payment systems. But there's no institution, even our traditional financial institutions, that haven't been targeted during the pandemic," Assistant Special Agent in Charge Roy Dotson told CNBC. Senior Secret Service Investigator, in an interview.
Early investigations indicated that the majority of Green Dot's fraudulent accounts were created with synthetic and stolen identities, and the use of "voluntary and non-voluntary money mules," Dotson said.
The Secret Service and the SBA Inspector General's Office issued notices to 30,000 financial institutions in early 2020 to outline indicators of fraud and guide banks to partner with federal agencies to recover fraudulent funds , Dotson said. He added that the investigations will likely last for years due to their size and scope.
OIG Inspector General Hannibal Ware said the Secret Service partnership has resulted in more than 400 indictments and nearly 300 convictions related to pandemic fraud to date.
The US government has allocated more than $1 trillion to Main Street through the Paycheck Protection Program and the EIDL program. The PPP allowed small businesses to borrow loans that could be forgiven if the borrower used the majority of capital on the payroll, while the Covid-19 EIDL program allowed borrowers to access loss-based loans temporary income due to the pandemic. An advance was also available under the EIDL.
Reviews of both programs by the SBA's Office of Inspector General have warned that criminals could potentially exploit the system due to the rapid nature of the deployment and request for assistance. CNBC investigations revealed, in some cases, how easy it was for criminals to get fraudulent help via stolen identities.
The SBA OIG said it identified $87 billion in potentially fraudulent EIDL loans.
Over the past two years, the Secret Service said it seized more than $1.4 billion in fraudulently obtained funds and helped return some $2.3 billion to state unemployment insurance programs. Nearly 4,000 investigations and inquiries into pandemic-related fraud have been opened by the Secret Service. More than 150 field offices and 40 cyber working groups are involved.
"It's not going to be a silver bullet. As we talked about today, 15,325 accounts at a financial institution – that's one case, so you can just think about the potential number of suspects and the number of investigations that could come out of it. And with all of our federal, state and local partners, who work and have the same mission. It's going to be a long process," Dotson said at a press conference announcing the returned funds.

Mick Jagger's Effortlessly Cool Life in Photos
There's cool, and then there's Mick Jagger cool.
By The Esquire Editors
If there's one living legend who defines the history of rock, who defines cool, and who defies the laws of cellular aging, it's Mick Jagger. He's remained one of the most famous men in music for more than half a century. Now, we look back at Jagger over the years.

FCC mulls extending low-income subsidies for broadband Internet
Jackie Dove
Jackie Dove was in charge of The Next Web's Creativity channel from February 2014 through October 2015. Jackie Dove was in charge of The Next Web's Creativity channel from February 2014 through October 2015.
As more and more people give up their landlines in favor of smartphones, the question of how low-income subsidies for phone service in the US are dispensed has come into play.
The Federal Communications Commission, in a 3-to-2 vote today, has given a green light to extending government's Lifeline program for broadband Internet, in addition to basic phone service. The proposal comes from FCC chairman Tom Wheeler.
Bloomberg reported that the vote, along party lines with Democrats in favor, reasoned that poor people rely more on their phones for Internet access, and the lack of subsidies creates a disadvantage in their use of common services like banking and healthcare.
Not that the subsidies are that great to begin with. Lifeline recipients currently receive $9.25 a month for phone service, so it's expected that the FCC would raise that amount to assist with broadband data plans.
The proposal is backed by CTIA, a wireless trade group whose members AT&T, Verizon and others, also stand to benefit.
Republicans on the panel, in opposition, voiced concerned about tracking down waste, fraud and abuse in the system.
Lifeline program spending plunged to $1.6 billion in 2014 from a peak of $2.2 billion in 2012, according to the Universal Service Administrative Co., a nonprofit that oversees the subsidies alongside the states. The number of Lifeline users dropped to 14.5 million in 2013 from 17.2 billion in the previous year, according to the 2014 FCC report.

For a few years, a genuine peg-legged pirate could be found at the Chicken of the Sea Pirate Ship! He was known as "Captain Guy". I wonder if he was a Chicken of the Sea employee, or a Disneyland CM? It's always fun to find pictures of him posing with people, sometimes pretending to dispatch them in piratey ways.
These are taken from rather far away, so they aren't quite as much fun, but I still enjoy seeing him up there. He's puffing on his pipe, casually leaning against the shrouds, with his wooden leg on the rail so that everyone can see how cool he is. I'd love to know what those boys are saying to him.
Quite recently I learned that Captain Guy carried little cards with him that he would sign for folks, and it looks like that might be what's going on here. The card certified that the bearer was an "Honorary Skipper" and "Treasurer of Loot and Booty". No greater honor could be dreamed of! The other side of the card had a list of suggested nicknames, such as "Giggles", "Strangler", or "Thumb". I wish I had one of those cards!
Nanook, is that your doppelganger, up there?
I hope that he doesn't fall! This sounds like an element that provided nice atmosphere.
Captain Guy looked to be the kind of pirate that would turn those cannons on you in a second, but it wouldn't be personal- just business. I guess that's some of his real life war hero vibes coming through.
On another note, I always felt like the pirate ship was the boys version of the castle. Fantasyland had better balance when it was around. I never really bought Tony Baxter's story about how it couldn't be repaired or rebuilt. I think it just got in the way of their plans...
The pirate ship, and restaurant were the perfect addition to Fantasyland. Eye candy of the first order. I miss it. I think Capt Guy is schooling them in the ways of the pirate, or perhaps regaling them with stories of the war. We may never know. And now I am going down to our local diner and order a tuna melt in his honor. Thank you Major.
Lou and Sue, no, Nanook doesn't have a wooden leg.
Penna. Andrew, Cap'n Guy has been through storms and gales as he rounded the Horn, so sitting on a ship in a dead calm is no problem.
Stu29573, I would expect any pirate worth his salt to betray me! It's just part of the job. And I like Tony B., but I agree with you, I am skeptical of the story that they intended to save the Pirate Ship and move it to another location.
Jonathan, vintage concept art of other Fantasyland features has popped up over the years (and windmill Ferris wheel, and underwater restaurant that you'd enter through a crocodile's mouth), but none of them match the sheer beauty and fun of the old Pirate Ship.
@ Lou and Sue-
The Major's correct; I merely have a wooden brain-!
-SS
Having a real life pirate captain must have been the icing on the cake for the Tuna Clipper.
Captain Guy was before my time, I guess, since I don't remember him, or any other costumed character, in this area.
The whole little area, Pirate Ship, Skull Rock, and the grotto were so well-designed and executed. Perfect scale, theming and attention to detail. Such a shame to lose it. Really makes me sad.
But these pictures help, Major. Thank you.
Major and Nanook - LOL! (Nanook, you and that kid have great taste! I'm serious.)
Stu29573 - you are so right about the pirate ship (and "real" pirates and Skull rock)! - it did give balance to Fantasyland. Something for everyone.
"Arrr, me wee buckos, ye can tune a fiddle, but ye can't tune a fish! An' even then, ye can only play in the key of sea! Yarrr! Did ye ever hear o' the weightlifting crab, who had to quit when he pulled a mussel? I'll be here all week; don't forget to tip yer cabin boy!"
I nearly missed the matching blond boys in the white V-necks! Twinsies!
Nanook, at least you have a brain!
JG, I think Captain Guy was only there for a year or two, which is why photos of him are rather scarce. I only have a half dozen or so. I keep trying to convince myself that the lovely Fantasyland redo was worth the loss of Skull Rock and the Pirate Ship, but still haven't quite managed to do it.
Lou and Sue, Nanook always liked a hat with a jaunty feather.
Melissa, once again, it's like you have possessed by the spirit of Wally Boag. If we have an exorcism, you'll spit out mouthfuls of lima beans!
Melissa, you've seen those boys before, take a look HERE
At one time the Disneyland Cycle , Paint and Sign Shops were given old, worn or retired Disneyland Restaurant plastic food service trays. In the early 90's on a tour of the sign shop a sign painter was doing touch work to a Main Street USA metal sign and all his small silver cans with matched paint were sitting on a old Captain Hook's Pirate Ship Restaurant food tray! While asking about the tray the painter said that it was probably the oldest tray here and he took care of it because it was his favorite! Mostly as the trays got coved with paint spills or weakened from paint thinners the trays would get tossed out and replaced with a clean one. This one survived!!
I think the jury's still out on that one...
Did he really have a wooden leg (named Smith)?
He was only in the part for a few years to encourage sales of spiced rum. It was a quickly-ended sponsorship like the Wizard of Bras shop on Main Street.
Oh, yeah! The fidgety kid and the non-fidgety kid!
Love the story of the paint tray.
Mike Cozart, oh man, stories like that are neat, but they make me crazy! I would LOVE to have one of those Pirate Ship food trays! To think that they were just disposed of for the most part - the pain! Reminds me of a story from "The E-Ticket Magazine", when somebody said that custodians would tear attraction posters into squares for make-shift dust pans. OUCH.
Nanook, ha ha, I'm pretty sure there's one in there somewhere.
Anon, that makes me think of "The Partridge Family", I think Mr. Kinkade told a version of that corny old joke!
Dean Finder, I'm sure there were more than a few dads who would have been thrilled to be able to have some spiced rum during their visit to Disneyland!
Melissa, ha, from now on that will be their names.
Jason Schultz said...
The Disneyland employee publication references to Captain Guy that I've seen begin in June 1958 and end in Winter 1962, so that's the rough window of his Disneyland service. Somebody needs to write his biography!
Jason, thank you! That's a lot longer than I would have guessed. Over 4 years (yes, I did that in my head all by myself). I am thinking of asking Chris Merritt to write a two-volume biography of Captain Guy now that he is finished with his Marc Davis tome.

Orange-based architectural practice, McClean Design, has designed the San Vicente House project. The luxury family home is located in California, US.
Designed for a family with three small girls this house needed to respond to the busy street it is located on.
According to the architect: "We came up with a sequence of entry which uses several devices to separate the occupants from the noise beyond. The drive court is screened from the street by high gates and tall landscaped elements. This area connects to an inner courtyard through a curving glass screen designed to allow the light to pass through but shield from the cars and noise. The courtyard contains a waterfall and an infinity edge pool both of which help to instill a feeling of calm as you approach the house. Our hope is by the time you enter into the two story entry hall you have left the rest of the world behind. The L shaped plan of the house maximizes the expansive back yard while further screening potential noise such that the rear yard is extremely quiet and peaceful. The garden also contains a pool and guest house.
Barcelona-based interior design studio Isabel López Vilalta and architect Magüi González have designed the Barton Restaurant project. Completed in 2014, the stylish restaurant is located in Barcelona, Spain.

Most predators of sexual crimes against children are known to victims: the police
malaysia November 10, 2018 malaysia
Shah Alam: Statistics by police Selangor revealed that 75.7% of cases of sexual crimes against children that have been reported Selangor since January this year were carried out by people known to victims.
The head of the Criminal Investigation Department of AC Saladin, AC Fadzil Ahmat, said that the sexual predators known to the victims were the father or stepfather, grandfather, elder brother, husband or babysitter, neighbor and friend of the mother.
He noted that the data also showed an increase in the number of cases, to 333 cases from 287 cases in the same period last year.
Of the 333 cases reported so far this year, he said, 201 cases of children under the age of 18 as victims were prosecuted, with 82 cases given "no further action" (NFA) and 51 others still pending.
"We expect the number to grow even more with the upcoming school holiday, so we hope for parents' cooperation to keep track of children's movements and activities, especially when using mobile phones and access to social media," CID Media Talk said here today.
Among the contributing factors to sexual crimes against children were the effects of social media, the development of technology, the non-gradual attitude of parents to their children's activities and movements, curiosity and group influence.
He said victims of sexual offenses, or witnesses, could contact the police station nearest them to report sexual crimes or help.
"In this regard, the role of teachers in schools is very important to identify changes in their students, such as being depressed or quiet, teachers must submit a police report if they suspect that their students are victims of sexual crime."
To facilitate the recording of statements by victims of a child's sexual crime, he said, the police established the Child Interview Center (CIC) in all units and they were staffed by trained officers who would record statements of victims under the age of 16. – Bernma

Q: How to hide an element by condition in JavaScript? I'm going to set a parameter for an iframe that sets to 1 or 0.  then if the parameter is 1 a div by class="badge" will visible else hide.
How can I define this condition in JavaScript? Thank you for your help :)
This is my HTML and CSS code.

.badge {
    font-family: Tahoma;
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    background: #7bbded;
    color: white;
    border-radius: 0 0px 0 0;
    font-size: 10px;
    padding: 1px 6px 0 3px;
}

A: First, get a reference to the div:
var div = document.querySelector('.badge');

Then, add a new class, like show:
if(parameter === 1){
 div.classList.add('show');
}

parameter should be the name of your parameter stored in a var.
Besides, you could set display: block in your css file, not as inline style.
Like this:
.badge {
    font-family: Tahoma;
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    background: #7bbded;
    color: white;
    border-radius: 0 0px 0 0;
    font-size: 10px;
    padding: 1px 6px 0 3px;
    display:none; // ---> Hidden by default
}

.badge.show {
    display:block; // --> Visible only when you have .badge and .show classes in the same element
}

To remove the class, you can use classList.remove('show');
if(parameter === 0){
    div.classList.remove('show');
}

Q: ng build message "ERROR in Cannot read property 'toLowerCase' of undefined" I am using an Azure DevOps YAML pipeline to build/deploy my Angular 9 application.  The YAML contains a Powershell script to build it as follows
- powershell: |
    $angularBuildConfiguration = "MyBuildConfig";

    write-host "ng-build start";
    ng build --prod --aot --configuration $angularBuildConfiguration;
    write-host "ng-build end";

  workingDirectory: '$(Build.SourcesDirectory)\...'
  displayName: 'Build app - Angular app'

The above goes through the Angular build and at the end returns the message "ERROR in Cannot read property 'toLowerCase' of undefined".
I have verified that the workingDirectory and angularBuildConfiguration parameters have the values intended - I have also replaced them with hardcoded values and get the same result.  If I run the Powershell script above on the build server (where the YAML script actually runs on), in the folder intended the build fails with the same error message, however if I build with the same script on my local machine it builds successfully
I don't know whether it is a ng build issue, or whether there is something within my Angular 9 project that causes the error - there is no 'associated' file that is flagged that accompanies the error message
Does anyone have any ideas ?

A: This was really random - the toLowerCase message wasn't referring to any javascript/typescript code - it must be an internal message.  The only way I could pinpoint where the issue was by process of elimination - i.e. taking out webpages a batch at a time until I got a clean prod compile - then worked back including one by one to get to the culprit.
There was a style that was causing the issue - we replaced the following
.gridlines-left {
  border: 1px solid #c0c0c0;

...with
.gridlines-left {
  border: 1px solid #c0c0c0;
  border-right-style: none;
  border-top-style: none;
  border-bottom-style: none;
}

...and the compile ran successfully.  I still have no idea how/why as we had plenty of other styles very similar and used the same strategy of setting border-right/left/bottom/top-width: 0 - it may have had something to do with how we combined css classes - certain styles may conflict with others come compile time - who knows, but all works well now and haven't had the problem since

A: There is an error in code base in converting string variable to lower case.
Simply, it's trying to convert undefined or false value to lower case.
To use tolowercase JavaScript built-in function, the variable should be true value.
So search it in codebase, and update it like below.
If (variable) {
    variable = variable.toString().tolowercase();
}

Study: Prime Age For Success In BJJ Competition Performance
EditorialCategory
Often referred to as the "human-chess game", jiu-jitsu combines physical prowess with intricate positional combinations which require quick problem-solving skills and a strong degree of tactical knowledge. A combination of power, skill, and mental acumen.
Over the years, research has found (check here for reference 1, and here for reference 2) that the brain doesn't fully develop until the age of 25 and that men traditionally achieve peak muscle mass somewhere between the age of 20 and 30. How this translates to BJJ is still an untested territory and something we hope to shed some light on in this piece.
Although the purpose of this exercise is to find the average age of optimal physical maturity in grapplers and possibly its cut-off point, it is important to reference that different people develop at different rates and that this is by no means the End All Be All on this subject.
When addressing the topic we decided to go through a list of all IBJJF World Championships male adult black belt medalists over the past 10 years (2011-2021 [9 events]) and try to decipher the data as this is the gold standard tournament of our sport. As per previously mentioned research, it would be logical to assume that jiu-jitsu athletes would be at their best within the 25-30-year-old range, given that this is the point when mental maturity and physical prime meet. Although there is some validity to this claim, there appear to be more layers to this, otherwise simple, equation. Bet let us start with the basics:
AVERAGE MEDALIST AGE
At a first glance, when averaging the age of the 360 medals across all weight classes of the male adult black belt category of the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) World Championships, the average age of 26.9 years of age does appear to fall well within the ranges of the aforementioned scientific studies. A consistency that also rings true when addressing these Medalist Averages Year By Year (chart).
This age Sweet-Spot keeps ringing true when assessing the average medalist age per weight class, per year. Nevertheless, it is here that the first signs of disruption emerge as we see 6 instances of discrepancies. But first the Average Medalist Age Of The Past 9 Mundial Events, Per Weight Class (see chart below).
Possibly of more relevance is the fact that out of these 6 instances, only 1 was a deviation above the 30-year old range. This unusual year was 2013, a time when Romulo Barral and Braulio Estima closed the medium heavyweight bracket for Gracie Barra, leaving Atos' veterans Guto Campos and André Galvão in 3rd place, making an average of 31-years-of-age. Never again did we see the average age of medalists of any weight class go above the 30YO mark.
On the other side of the spectrum – below the 25YO mark – we saw 6 separate instances of the occurrence. In fact, as we will demonstrate throughout this piece, jiu-jitsu's prime-age does appear to be much closer to the bottom end of the mark.
The Outliers, Weight Classes Who Went Over Or Under The 25-30 Age Range, By Year (chart).
4 of those occurrences happened in one single year, 2011. A time year when jiu-jitsu's (then) new generation emerged with excellent performances by Ary Farias, Guilherme Mendes, Rafael Mendes, Kron Gracie, Gilbert Burns, JT Torres, Rodolfo Vieira, "Cara de Sapato", Bernardo Faria, Leo Nogueira, Marcus Buchecha, Braga Neto, to name a few. All medalists below the stated mark who contributed to this "glitch" in the light-feather, light, heavy, and open weight classes.
The only other instance under the 25YO range was the open weight division of 2012, the first year Marcus Almeida won double gold at the Mundial.
THE CHAMPIONS
When assessing the Average Age Of An IBJJF Adult Black Belt World Champion (see chart below) the results continue to prove the 25-30YO rule down to a tee. With the exceptions made in the aforementioned generational takeover of 2011 and 2012 where the average fell down to 24, every year has produced very similar numbers, and the average remains. A very similar story when addressing each weight class individually.
THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS
Although all these aforementioned averages are verifiable, the fact that we've had many champions outside of this age range created, at first glance, a bit of a paradox. Overall, 9* athletes have conquered world titles when in their 30s, which is 23% of all the men who conquered gold medals during this 2011-2021 period.Their names were: Bruno Malfacine, Gabriel Moraes, Lucas Lepri, Romulo Barral, André Galvão, Alexande Ribeiro, Rubens Cobrinha, Augusto Tanquinho, Claudio Calasans, and Leandro Lo.
There are, however, caveats to these champions' stories. Out of all these "Masters Eligible" world champions, only two conquered their FIRST world title after the 30YO mark (Augusto "Tanquinho" Mendes and Claudio Calasans), but even there, both Tanquinho and Calasans had earned medals at the World Championships when in their 20s, proving then that they were on the cusp of a gold medal. They did not break through at that later age.
* possibly 10, above 30YO athletes, have conquered the World Championships as we could not ascertain Alexandro Ceconi's age, the 2016 super-heavyweight gold medalist.
THE CUT-OFF POINT
Although the World Championship produced 90 gold medals during the period of this study, those medals were allocated to only 38 athletes, as many athletes such as Bruno Malfacine, Lucas Lepri, and Marcus Buchecha, dominated their weight classes for many years, taking the bulk of the medals there.
An interesting fact is that out of these 38 athletes, the average age for their FIRST world title – the age when they first established themselves as the champions of their weight classes – was the 23-year-old mark. Seldomly have we seen an athlete make his FIRST claim to the world title after his 25th birthday. The outliers here were João Miyao (28 [first silver medal at 23YO]), the aforementioned Tanquinho (30) and Calasans (31), Rubens Charles "Cobrinha" (26 [earned his black belt that year]), as well as Lucas "Hulk" Barbosa (26). A total of 5 athletes out of 38 (13%), but even here, only Augusto Tanquinho, Lucas Hulk, and Rubens Cobrinha had not medaled prior to their 25th B-day.
When addressing the overall first medal as an adult black belt (regardless of gold, silver, or bronze), then the age average drops even further. This leaves us to ascertain that if a jiu-jitsu athlete isn't at the cusp of conquering his first world title by the age of 23, his chances of doing so after this mark drop dramatically.
Although a range of studies has pointed towards peak physical maturity occurring at later stages of life when comparing with our jiu-jitsu analysis, other equally sobering research done with swimmers has corroborated our results (reference here) demystifying the 25-30 notion, showing a much lower peak age of 21-years-of-age for that particular sport. Jiu-jitsu's numbers appear to be much closer to those of this latter study.
These ranges also appear to be seen across all weight classes, from Bruno Malfacine (rooster-weight) whose first world title was claimed at the age of 21, to ultra-heavyweights Marcus Almeida who won his first double at 22 or Antônio Braga Neto 20.

Soldier, 25, thrown out of Army jailed four years for leaking secrets

Soldier, 25, thrown out of the Army is jailed for four years for leaking sensitive military secrets about camp security
Matthew Conroy, 25, from Shepherd's Bush, west London, jailed four years
Former soldier sent confidential Army documents to a number of organisations
He was convicted on six counts of sharing information useful for 'terrorist intent'
Police found pornographic videos of bestiality, featuring chicken and orangutan
A soldier has been jailed for four years for terrorism offences after leaking sensitive military information to international organisations, months after being fired from the role.
Matthew Conroy, 25, from Shepherd's Bush, west London, was convicted of emailing six confidential Army documents that could be used for 'terrorist intent' to a number of national and international organisations.
Conroy had begun regular British Army training with Adjutant General's Corps attached to the Royal Lancers Regiment in January 2018 – having enlisted in the British Army Reserves a year before, Kingston Crown Court heard.
However due to poor performance and having been immediately flagged as a 'source of concern' the recruit was deemed 'temperamentally unsuitable' and let go on February 28 of this year, Sky News reports.
Matthew Conroy, 25, from Shepherd's Bush, west London, convicted of sharing six confidential Army documents that could be used for 'terrorist intent'
Two months later on May 1 2020 Conroy sent emails containing military documents which revealed personal details of personnel, operational orders, and information on organisational structures.
The court heard how Conroy had continued to have access to his military emails and military intranet (MODNET) for a period after leaving the Army due to a delay in his account being closed.
Police arrested Conroy at the Shepherd's Bush home he shared with his mother and brother on May 4, inside they found a printed copy of the Official Secrets Act and evidence confirming that Conroy had sent the email from an account he had set up on the same day.
When examining his digital devices, officers also found two extreme pornographic videos of bestiality, one featuring a chicken and the other an orangutan.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said today: 'An investigation by the Counter Terrorism Command, working closely with colleagues from the Ministry of Defence, found that Conroy sent an email on May 1 2020 containing sensitive military information.

'The investigation found that prior to his discharge from the British Army earlier in the year – in February – Conroy had acquired some of the information sent in the May email.
'Conroy was arrested on May 4. Digital forensic analysis of his computers and digital devices seized from his address identified copies of the documents contained within the emails and also found evidence confirming that Conroy had been the one who sent the email. When examining his digital devices, officers also found extreme pornographic images.
'After further enquiries, Conroy was charged and subsequently convicted and sentenced.'
A psychiatrist said they had found Conroy to have borderline personality disorder and narcissistic tendencies.
The Crown Court, Kingston-upon-Thames, London, where Conroy was jailed three years and an extended year on licence
Staff Sergeant Christopher Hill, of the Royal Lancers Regiment, told the court how he had raised concerns with senior officers in July 2019 when Conroy had said he 'wouldn't have to worry about money' as he had camp security details to sell, Sky News reports.
Conroy pleaded guilty to six charges of collecting and publishing military information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.
Judge Peter Lodder QC said that Conroy had revealed his motive as 'frustration with the army' in a letter written to the judge. He added: 'It is clear that you were wholly unsuitable for the Army.'
Sentencing Conroy to three years in jail and an extended year on licence, Judge Lodder said: 'Recently you offered an explanation to the effect that it was out of frustration with the Army, an explanation which you re-iterated in your letter to me.
'Whatever your motive, it is clear to me that you had planned these actions for some time, you were fully aware of the seriousness of your actions and of the inevitable security risks that followed from those actions.'
Conroy also received a four month jail sentence to run concurrently for the offence of possessing extreme pornographic videos, one of which breached the Criminal Justice Act 2008.
Commander Richard Smith, Head of the Met's Counter Terrorism Command said: 'There is no doubt that the information Conroy copied and then emailed out had the potential to put the safety and security of military personnel at increased risk.
'Today's sentence should make it absolutely clear that there are very serious consequences for anyone who chooses to do this sort of thing.
'Police and the military take this extremely seriously and we will seek to identify, arrest and prosecute anyone responsible for putting others' lives at risk through the illegal sharing of sensitive information that could then be used by those with hostile or terrorist intent.'

COLD SPRING — Rocori school board winnowed a list of six superintendent candidates to three finalists Tuesday, according to Kenneth Dragseth, president at School Exec Connect.
Edina-based School Exec Connect was hired by the board in May to assist to the board during the search-and-interview process for a new superintendent.
Brad Kelvington, superintendent, Aitkin Public Schools.
Julie Beddow-Schubert, director of teaching and learning, Lakeview Area Public Schools.
James Wagner, superintendent, Kimball Area Public Schools.
The board has scheduled public interviews for the finalists at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in the commons area of the District Education Facility, followed by dinners with the candidates and board interviews at The Great Blue Heron in Cold Spring.
Kelvington will interview Wednesday. The Minnesota Department of Education lists Aitkin school district's enrollment as 1,176 students with about 44 percent of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, which is commonly used to understand how many school-aged children live in lower-income households, according to the department of education.
Beddow-Schubert will interview Thursday. The department of education lists Lakeville school district's enrollment as 11,000 students, of which about 14 percent are eligible for free or reduced lunch.
Wagner will interview Friday. The department of education lists Kimball school district's enrollment as 748 students, of which about 25 percent are eligible for free or reduced lunch.
Rocori school district has about 2,100 students at five schools: Rocori High School, Rocori Middle School, Cold Spring Elementary, Richmond Elementary and John Clark Elementary School in Rockville. Approximately one-quarter of Rocori students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, according to the department of education.
Former Rocori Superintendent Scott Staska resigned this spring after he was arrested and accused of publicly exposing himself. The school board named retired superintendent John Thein as interim superintendent.
Dragseth said School Exec Connect received 26 completed applications for the superintendent position. The other candidates who interviewed Tuesday were Janell Bullard, director of special education at Meeker and Wright Special Education Cooperative; Mark Grossklaus, principal at Albert Lea High School; and Eric Skanson, principal at Cold Spring Elementary.
The board is expected to select the new superintendent after the final interview Friday, according to Dragseth.


GIS: Bringing attention to an underutilized tool in conservation.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is widely used within many disciplines, ranging from earth sciences to public health, and is becoming increasingly recognized by various sectors as a beneficial and necessary tool to advance business and simplify everyday tasks. Regardless of whether GIS is used to track select addresses, conduct hydrological modeling, map a fuel spill, or plan a hiking route, it is highly recommended that the fundamental concepts and functions of GIS be understood.
GIS, in summary, projects geographic information onto a map. To conduct advanced evaluations of this information, GIS can be combined with spatial analysis, which extends beyond coordinate points and distance measurements. While some GIS maps are typically 2D (e.g., road maps, world maps), other spatial maps combined with GIS may be more useful in 3D format, including terrain maps and weather maps. GIS maps combined with spatial analysis are usually used in data and resource management, where information can be monitored, dissected, and predicted.
For instance, one major organization that readily utilizes GIS is the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in order to investigate and communicate information about volcanic eruptions, water resources, and even climate change. Given the difficulty in predicting and managing natural disasters and other natural phenomena, GIS is a very useful tool for helping to predict and assess future risks.
Conservation biology is another field of research that frequently uses GIS, both in the academic and professional world. Given the threats of increased environmental degradation and climate change, there remains a high risk of events such as species loss and pollution of our air and water. Therefore, regions identified as high risk for environmental decline can be mapped and managed efficiently using GIS tools. We must keep in mind that humans are also considered an integral part of many – if not all – ecosystems, and we cannot ignore the stresses that we put on our surroundings. GIS can also be used to educate others on the importance of maintaining environmental integrity with the added bonus of visual information, which may be the most practical and efficient way to communicate the status of our environment to the public.
The Florida Department of Transportation uses GIS to integrate transportation systems, thereby reducing road kills, identifying species hot spots, and locating important habitat areas. Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) (not to be confused with Esri, the major software ArcGIS developer!), is a non-profit organization that supports GIS utilization in conservation areas, providing GIS resources and grants for critical projects. ESRI also conducts a Conservation Mapping Contest for students and professionals –the most recent grand prize project examined green turtle nesting sites around the world, a GIS-based project out of Duke University.
GIS can also be applied to species conservation efforts. In 2014, one hundred years after the Passenger Pigeon became extinct, the Audubon Birds Climate Report was released by the National Audubon Society (NAS), a non-profit organization specializing in bird conservation. North American regions are mapped using GIS to show seasonal ranges for various North American bird species, such as the common loon and chestnut-collared longspur. These databases are directly supported by contributions from the public through events like the Data for Audubon Christmas Bird Count (CBC) and North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS), where bird counts are conducted by citizens across Canada and United States.
Similarly, Bird Studies Canada (BSC) is another organization dedicated to bird conservation. Province-specific programs are conducted to better understand bird behaviour and habitat; for instance, British Columbia operates a Coastal Waterbird Survey, whereas the Great Lakes Marsh Monitoring Program in run in Ontario. Survey results are important to Canada and the international community, seeing as the majority of birds at risk are migratory.
While GIS is extremely useful in managing conservation wildlife, the concept is equally important in other disciplines and developments. While developing maps and obtain geographic information for conservation initiatives can be tedious work, many organizations, such as academic institutions and local and regional governments, provide free, easily accessible data. High school students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with GIS tools and software. I believe that to maximize learning outcomes, especially within the field of Geography, students should study basic concepts in GIS.
Beyond conservation biology and other physical sciences, other areas of study and research, such as psychology and education, are reaping the benefits of GIS-based analysis. As GIS continues its integration into an increasing number of research efforts, effective decision making and problem-solving will be done with increasing efficiency, understanding, and success.


We all know "Steve." He seems to have an uncanny knack for forgetting about his therapy appointments. The only thing more prolific than his ability to repeatedly miss appointments is his infinite store of excuses. The only thing consistent about Steve is his failure to keep appointments. While the excuses may be endless, the reasons that he can't keep his appointments can be distilled into five core excuses.
By understanding the causes of missed appointments (and learning to look beyond the excuses,) you can help your clients keep appointments and work on improving your no-show rate. Learning how to reduce missed appointments will have a dramatic positive impact on your practice. The obvious benefit to you is certainly financially, but even more importantly, your clients maintain a continuity of care that is critical for treatment success.
Despite a myriad of excuses, the challenge of how to reduce no-shows boils down to understanding the following five reasons. Of course, these aren't the only reasons for repeatedly missed appointments, however, almost every excuse you get can be mapped to these five.
This is often the most common reason for missed appointments. This includes things such as transportation issues, finding childcare, being required to work unexpectedly. Essentially anything that prevents an otherwise willing client to attend their therapy session can be chalked up to a logistical challenge.
The difficulty with logistics is that you're often unable to do much to completely prevent it. However, there are a few things that you can do to mitigate the issue.
This can often be difficult in a busy therapy practice, however being especially sensitive to your client's logistical challenges can pay dividends. By looking at a client's appointment history and making note of the specific appointment time slots that have a tendency to be missed, you can attempt to avoid those times that have a high likelihood of being missed. For example, if your client often misses 4 pm appointments but rarely misses morning appointments, then attempt to schedule more morning appointments. You could always ask your client, however, many clients are eager to please and take their lead from your suggestions. They might not be realizing that they have a habit of missing specific times.
Online counseling isn't always appropriate for every client. However, if the difference between having a client miss an appointment or conducting that session using video could be the difference between that client maintaining the continuity of treatment or not. Providing an option for online therapy, even if just occasionally, can help mitigate some logistical challenges.
This is probably the reason that's the easiest to solve in theory, however, reality sometimes makes it harder than it sounds! Administrative contributors to missed appointments include things like long waiting room times, difficulties communicating with your office, long appointment lag times as well as ineffective (or non-existent) reminder systems. Counseling office management is not a trivial challenge, but being aware of how your management decisions affect your no-show rates will have a significant impact on client care and your bottom line.
This is one that is less obvious however extremely important. If your clients have to routinely wait 15 minutes or more before they start their scheduled appointment, this increases the time investment for the client. A 1-hour appointment turns into 90 minutes or even longer. We're all very busy, when appointments routinely take up longer than they should, that provides a powerful disincentive.
Economic realities sometimes require overbooking, however, if overbooking is a standard procedure within your practice, perhaps it would be wise to understand exactly what is requiring you to overbook. If it's because of missed appointments, you have a chicken-or-egg problem: you overbook because of missed appointments but you have missed appointments because you overbook. Addressing the issues behind the missed appointments is a far more sustainable strategy than simply compensating for those missed appointments by overbooking. Over the long term, overbooking results in lower revenue than not overbooking.
This one is certainly going to stoke the fires of controversy, but in terms administrative causes of missed appointments, this is a big one. You've certainly have been in a session where at the 53-minute mark, suddenly your client has some kind of breakthrough and you're hesitant to end the session. By not practicing good session time discipline, you're potentially harming other clients who are waiting. They're waiting and watching the clock tick while you are still with the previous client. While occasionally this shouldn't cause many problems, however by not respecting the time of your other clients, you are providing them with growing incentive to miss future appointments. Their time is just as valuable as yours!
You should be aware of the effect of your time management on your other clients. When the session approaches its scheduled ending, you can use any of those last-minute breakthroughs as the basis of the next session. Your client will likely be looking forward to the next session in order to continue the conversation. If you have a habit of going over-time, build this into your schedule. Provide a 15 minute (or more) buffer between appointments. All of your clients will appreciate this. When you show respect for your clients' time, they show more respect for yours.
This can be a difficult one. Some clients don't need to see you each week, but instead, they see you monthly or at some point far in the future. Appointments with long lag times have a high probability of being missed simply because by the time comes around for the appointment, many times the client might not feel that they need to see you again or they just forget. These types of appointments require a more proactive approach. For example, you might want to send an SMS and email reminder the week before, followed by a phone call several days before in order to not only remind your client that there is an appointment but to remind them of exactly why they have that appointment. Behavioral health scheduling can be a challenge!
Using a text message reminder system can reduce missed appointments by 25%.There are several studies on the effect of SMS reminders on missed appointments and they are conclusive in the measurable effect on no-show rates. One study in London showed a 25-28% reduction in missed appointments by simply using text-message reminders!
Phone reminders the day before are also effective, however, they can be time-intensive for the small-practice therapist. iCouch offers an easy text message reminder system that allows you to schedule both text message and email reminders for your clients. Whatever system you use, a reminder process has the potential to substantially reduce your missed appointment rate — at a very low cost.
If a client suffers from social anxiety and your approach involves spending considerable time understanding the client's childhood, some clients might wonder what this has to do with solving their social anxiety issues. You might know, but you can't take for granted that the client understands why you're asking the questions you're asking or how it will benefit them.
It's always best to involve your client in your approach. Help them understand how what you're asking relates to why they're in your office. For example, if you are asking about childhood for a social anxiety client, explain just why that might be important. Don't assume your client understands your cognitive-psycho-analytical-behavioral-humanist-hybrid methodology. By making the therapy treatment relevant with clear goals and expectations, your client will be more likely to continue treatment.
Comfort is more than just a nice couch or cushy chair. It about how your client feels during the session. It's more of a meta-level feeling rather than specific to the session. For example, if the client feels that you're talking down to them or judging them, then that might influence their decision to blow-off an appointment. Therapists are generally well trained on being non-judgmental, but therapists are human too!
Be aware of subtle, unconscious reactions to shocking, disturbing revelations. If your client's lifestyle choices are incompatible with your values, be aware of your own bias that might be revealed during a session. This is all standard stuff for therapists, however, it is worth remembering as this can affect your client's likelihood of keeping future appointments. It's assumed that you always act like a professional, but be aware of your own potential to send signals that might make your client feel uncomfortable. Facial expressions can be extremely important.
It also warrants mention that you should be careful not to insult your client's intelligence. More importantly, you should be careful not to talk down to clients. If you use a difficult word or scientific term, don't assume they don't understand, however, you certainly should verify understanding. The other half to this is that don't always assume they understand either. Be careful to speak at their level — not above it and not below it. This is a difficult balancing act, however, luckily, most therapists are trained in exactly this. Just keep it in mind in order to maximize the comfort of your clients as well as build the trust needed to keep them from missing appointments.
Of course, it's also true that sometimes a therapist and client just don't "click." Rather than continuing the therapy relationship when you are fairly certain it won't be as productive, perhaps help refer the client to another therapist that might be more appropriate. You certainly don't want to lose business, but at the same time, a bad therapist-client relationship will result in more missed appointments as well prevent the client from making progress! Always remember that your client's best interests should be your highest priority. You aren't an expert in everything; recognize your limitations.
Some clients are prone to embarrassment. For example, if you have a client who went on a dangerous drinking binge the night before an appointment, they might feel embarrassed to come to their session. There's not much you can do specifically to prevent this type of missed appointment other than building trust and making sure they understand that you are there to help them, not criticize or judge. This relates to the Comfort section above, however, the difference is that clients that miss appointments for personal reasons aren't generally responding to something you've done, but how they feel about what they've done. By creating a welcoming and accepting environment, you can mitigate some of these concerns.
The forgetful client seems to be a common species. Aside from the obvious answer to use reminders, another strategy is to find ways to engage the client between appointments. Using homework, assigned reading or a checklist of things to do before the next appointment, you can engage them to where their treatment is something they're thinking about between appointments. By keeping you in their mind between appointments, they're not only helping themselves, they're helping you reduce their likelihood of forgetting their next appointment.
Missed appointments are a significant challenge for every therapist. You'll never be able to eliminate them completely, however being aware of some of the big reasons clients miss their sessions should help you develop a strategy to reduce no-shows.
What do you think? What are some clever or innovative methods you've used to reduce appointment no-shows? Please add a comment and share your experience!

Brian, Thank you for this post. I am just starting out in private practice and find myself still learning about why clients miss/cancel appointments. Your post helped me see what aspects I can and can't control and how to plan for them! I especially appreciate your section around client comfort and being aware of subtle facial expressions or responses. Thank you!

© 2019 Federation of European Biochemical Societies We evaluated alterations in the structural configurations of channels and activation of nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich-containing family, pyrin domain-containing-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome formation in apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) risk and nonrisk milieus. APOL1G1- and APOL1G2-expressing podocytes (PD) displayed enhanced K+ efflux, induction of pyroptosis, and escalated transcription of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18. APOL1G1- and APOL1G2-expressing PD promoted the transcription as well as translation of proteins involved in the formation of inflammasomes. Since glyburide (a specific inhibitor of K+ efflux channels) inhibited the transcription of NLRP3, IL-1β, and IL-18, the role of K+ efflux in the activation of inflammasomes in APOL1 risk milieu was implicated. To evaluate the role of structural alterations in K+ channels in plasma membranes, bioinformatics studies, including molecular dynamic simulation, were carried out. Superimposition of bioinformatics reconstructions of APOL1G0, G1, and G2 showed several aligned regions. The analysis of pore-lining residues revealed that Ser342 and Tyr389 are involved in APOL1G0 pore formation and the altered conformations resulting from the Ser342Gly and Ile384Met mutation in the case of APOLG1 and deletion of the Tyr389 residue in the case of APOL1G2 are expected to alter pore characteristics, including K+ ion selectivity. Analysis of multiple membrane (lipid bilayer) models of interaction with the peripheral protein, integral membrane protein, and multimer protein revealed that for an APOL1 multimer model, APOL1G0 is not energetically favorable while the APOL1G1 and APOL1G2 moieties favor the insertion of multiple ion channels into the lipid bilayer. We conclude that altered pore configurations carry the potential to facilitate K+ ion transport in APOL1 risk milieu.

I'll tell you some nonsense stories about the kechi-king.
In spite of tightfisted(=stingy person=kechinbou in Japanese), he likes to set somebody up to meals.
I wondered why, but I could understand the reason soon.
After he had a meal to someone, he talked to many people about that many times.
He just wanted to say "I had a meal for someone and I'm generous for money (generous means "futoppara "in Japanese".
It is very persistent … OMG !!
Patronizing means "On kise gamashii" in Japanese.
Treating someone is very big event for kechi-king.

Jen Psaki Was An Elizabeth Warren Critic Before Taking Job As Biden's White House Press Secretary
By Tom Joyce | February 5, 2021, 10:52 EST
Printed from: https://newbostonpost.com/2021/02/05/jen-psaki-was-an-elizabeth-warren-critic-before-taking-job-as-bidens-white-house-press-secretary/
Jen Psaki serves as the White House press secretary, but before taking that post under President Joe Biden, she was a critic of Massachusetts U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Cambridge).
Psaki served as a political contributor for CNN from 2017 to 2020, after working as White House Communications Director from 2015 to 2017 under then-President Barack Obama. She served as spokesman for the United States Department of State from 2013 to 2015, also during the Obama administration. During her tenure as a CNN commentator, Psaki expressed some of her political views. Among those opinions expressed — on CNN and the internet — were her feelings about Warren.
That includes a remark in 2017 where she dismissed the notion that the Democratic National Committee rigged the 2016 presidential primary in favor of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, cheating U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) of a fair opportunity to earn it.
In November 2017, CNN's Jake Tapper asked Warren, "Do you agree with the notion that it was rigged?" The "it" he was referring to was the 2016 Democratic presidential primary. To this, Warren responded "Yes."
A couple of days later, Psaki made an appearance on CNN and addressed the same point.
"The reality here though is that when you have Senator Elizabeth Warren go out and say 'This is rigged,' we should all remember she's going to run for president in 2020," Psaki told CNN. "She wants Bernie Sanders supporters. There's political motivation there too."
Then in April 2019, when both Biden and Warren were in the race for president, Psaki offered another critique of Warren: that she was only relevant in politics because of former President Barack Obama and his vice president, Biden.
"Elizabeth Warren would be a beloved Harvard Law Professor not a presidential candidate if @barackobama and @JoeBiden had not worked with her to make her idea to form a consumer financial protection bureau law," she tweeted.
This tweet came after Warren said during a presidential campaign event in Iowa, "Joe Biden was on the side of credit card companies" rather than the side of the American people, as CNBC reported at the time. Warren and Biden were rivals for the Democratic nomination.
As Psaki points out, as a professor at Harvard Law School, Warren was an advocate for creating the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Obama signed it into law in July 2010, and in September 2010, he named Warren as an Assistant to the President and Special Advisor to the Secretary of the Treasury on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, as an Obama White House press release from the time confirms.
Warren then ran for U.S. Senate in 2012 against incumbent Republican Scott Brown. She won the primary unopposed and went on to defeat Brown in the general election 53.7 percent to 46.2 percent, according to the Secretary of the Commonwealth's office.
The offices for Senator Warren and the White House press secretary could not be reached for comment on Wednesday or Thursday.

In a sea there lived a small fish family. In the family, there was a baby fish called Finny. Finny always wished to go out of the house to meet other creatures in the sea.
She had heard from her mother that the sea world is very beautiful. There are thousands of varieties of creatures inside the sea.
But Finny was in no mood to listen.
When Finny saw her mother busy, she jumped out of the house and started swimming around. She realized that the world inside the sea was really very attractive.
On the way, she saw a strange creature.
'Oh my God! What is this?' She whispered.
The creature had a round head and plenty of arms around.
'Who are you?' Finny asked.
'But I have none. You look so ugly with those arms. See, I am so beautiful. I can fulfill all my needs even without those arms', Finny remarked with pride.
Octy smiled. Finny started proceeding further. On the way, she saw a beautiful glass chamber. She entered inside.
As soon as she entered, the glass door got closed automatically. She started shouting for help but for no vain. She found herself helpless. She remembered her mother's words. But it was too late. She started crying.
Suddenly, she saw a hand opening the glass door. She rushed outside.
'Oh Octy! Thanks for the help.' Finny pleaded with remorse.
'It is OK Finny. But remember, God had created all of us differently with a purpose. We should respect everyone's personality and traits. Now you go to your home. Your mother must be waiting'.
And Finny rushed back to her house with a meaningful lesson.


Both Tenants and property agents in Melbourne are welcome to use our vacate cleaning services. In most cases, the main reason property agents request our service is if a tenant moved out and they haven't used the apartment well or done a good cleaning job. We are then tasked to make sure that the apartment is worthy enough to be shown to high class clients. This experience has familiarized us with the intricacies of vacate cleaning well enough to know exactly what property agents want and what new clients are inclined to respond to.
This edge has made High Power cleaning services one of the best vacate cleaning services in Melbourne for the most part of 20 years since our establishment. The reason we have been able to maintain this momentum is by upgrading ourselves with sophisticated trainings and ensuring that our staff members have access to state of the art equipment that work best for different elements in your apartment.
We have come so far in the business that we have the luxury of giving you a 100% bond back guarantee. The management puts both tenant and property manager into consideration and ensures that no conflict arises because of a sanitation issue. If you try to get it done by yourself, you will be putting your bond at risk and stressing yourself unnecessarily. By hiring us, you will be putting your apartment in the hands of professionals who actually know what the expectations of the house owner is. That's an easy bet to cash.
Even though we pride ourselves in providing services in the highest standards, we are quite affordable especially since it would make no sense to spend most of your bond money on cleaning services of an apartment you're leaving.
Apart from vacate cleaning services, bond back services and end of lease cleaning services, we also offer smaller packages of apartments for regular maintenance at reasonable prices. Examples such as Rug cleaning services, carpet cleaning services and even oven cleaning among other things. Give us a call today to get a quote.

Our next monthly meeting will feature a fascinating & insightful presentation about Combat Helicopter Operations from our very own "Big Rich" Kiselewsky, our Chapter 643 Treasurer. As you may know, Rich served as a Marine and was actively deployed during the Vietnam War. He has a wealth of experience and has collected original photographs and slides that he has been organizing to share with our Chapter members. We are grateful for his service, and look forward to learning more from him in April.
Food/social at 6PM, meeting at 7PM. New members always welcome.
Chapter 643 Members are invited to meet at Solberg Airport (N51) on Saturday April 20th in Neil Rosoff's hanger, to help inspect his new Van's RV-9A aircraft. Almost ready for its final DAR inspection, it's a big advantage for builders to have multiple sets of eyes look over their aircraft as they near completion. Help identify missing rivets, bolts & washers or other discrepancies that may need to be addressed. Neil would appreciate as many members as possible to help him to ensure that every item on his new aircraft is safely installed and in full compliance.
Come for coffee/donuts, to learn about his build and all the steps it takes to complete the final stages of aircraft certification. Everyone is welcome whether you are a builder or not! Additional details will be shared at our next monthly meeting.

Grambling State announces upcoming Q&A event with Nick Saban that fans can attend
Michael Wayne Bratton | 3 months ago
Got a couple of questions you would like to ask Nick Saban? If so, here's your chance to get at least one in.
Grambling State has just announced the Alabama coach will be spending an afternoon on campus to honor the great Eddie G. Robinson. Grambling State is calling the event, "A Town Hall with Coach Nick Saban" and has scheduled Saban to speak on Tuesday, May 7, 2019, at the Eddie G. Robinson Museum.
This year would have been the 100th birthday of legendary Grambling State coach and the school is honoring Robinson by having coaches speak at the school. Saban isn't the only big name set to speak at the campus as Urban Meyer is currently scheduled to speak the week before the town hall event with Alabama's coach.
"We are very excited to have Nick Saban on our campus and have him as a guest speaker for this town hall meeting," Grambling State head coach Broderick Fobbs said. "Coach Saban is a well-respected coach across the nation, who has won numerous championships and has coached at outstanding college programs as well as in the NFL. It is an honor to bring him on the campus, not just to see Grambling State, but to see the history and legacy of what Eddie G. Robinson has built."
Saban is scheduled to speak for an hour during the event. Tickets for the event can be purchased here.
Lower bowl seats start at $290. Get into the stadium for as low as $32.
