"After many years of fascination with 'Rhone-style' reds, I decided to work with a couple of our passionate growers who are innovative, thirsty for knowledge, and enjoy a challenge. We decided in 2007 to plant some Mourvedre, Syrah and Grenache vines in the heart of the Okanagan Valley. In 2009 we harvested the grapes for the icon wine at Red Rooster called the 'Golden Egg'."

Karen Gillis, Wine Maker.
For the 2010 vintage our winemaker has selected only one barrel of each of the three varietals in the Golden Egg (Mourvedre, Syrah, Grenache). This top barrel selection and equal proportion of each grape has allowed the unique traits of each varietal to shine through . Primary fermentation was done in open top stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation. The Mourvedre and Grenache were aged in one year old French oak barrels and the Syrah was aged in American oak. The wines were blended together after 12 months in oak barrels and then the final assemblage was aged a further 2 months before bottling.
Very limited production of 75 cases.
This iconic rooster really expresses his 'Rhone-style' image with flare and panache while strutting through the hen house. The clutch of hens immediately noticed that perfect shade of deep ruby red and enticing bouquet of raspberry and strawberry accented by notes of bay leaf and violet. This dry, medium-bodied wine has soft delicate tannins and food-friendly acidity. Flavours of red berry, cherry and plum provide that perfect tangy, juicy fruit-forward excitement while notes of red licorice and delicate spice add interest. Red fruits, spice, mineral and plum notes provide that lasting memory. Enjoy now through 2016.
Wonderful wine to sip and savour while fireside. Serve with wild fowl; duck breast; veal cutlets; veal scallopini; crown roast of pork with stuffing; prime rib.
Available exclusively online and at the winery.


Tai Chi Chuan began as a martial art in China over 1000 years ago and is now widely recognized for its great health benefits. This Collins Gem provides a simple, clear and highly illustrated introduction. This book provides an introduction to the history, philosophy and practice of this fascinating, multi-faceted art. From its early origins in the holy Taoist Mountains of China it has now become a highly practical tool for life in the 21st century. Tai Chi can help to improve posture, increase energy levels and create a calm, clear mind. By learning a few simple postures, and regularly practicising them for a few minutes each day, you can gradually come to integrate this ancient Chinese system into your daily routine and enjoy its benefit in many ways: physically, mentally, emotionally and, ultimately, spiritually. Included are a number of postures from the first section of the Short Yang form that will take only three minutes to complete. They will provide a little taste of what Tai Chi Chuan can offer. Study each posture carefully and the advice given on transitions and purpose. Let yourself gradually become familiar with one or two movements and you can then progress to learning the complete sequence. Once learned, you can practise the routine three or four times a session and gain benefits that are close to those you would achieve through performing an entire form of Tai Chi Chuan.


The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has appointed a new president.
Heading up the UK's largest business organisation will be John Allan - a chairman at Tesco and Barratt Developments.
He succeeds Paul Drechsler, chairman of the Bibby Line Group, to become the 27th CBI president since 1965.
The decision was announced at the Annual General Meeting in London for the unpaid post.
As part of the role the president is integral to the organisation's advocacy work, meeting with ministers and senior civil servants, promoting British business internationally and chairing the CBI Board.
John said: "It is a great honour to be elected CBI President at this critical time for the UK's economy and businesses.
"As a country we face great challenges and I will try to ensure that the CBI's rational, evidence-based solutions are presented clearly and forcefully to all concerned, and in particular to the Government.
"Whether it is finding the best possible outcome to Brexit or focussing energy upon the long-term issues, like the Industrial Strategy, skills and infrastructure, we will campaign honestly and clearly for a future which is good for the British economy and good for the British people.
Across the UK, the CBI speaks on behalf of 190,000 businesses of all sizes and sectors while the corporate members employ nearly 7 million people together.
The organisation also has representation in Brussels, Washington, Beijing and Delhi.
Carolyn Fairbairn, CBI Director-General, said: "It's a great pleasure to welcome John to the CBI as our new President.
Since 2015 John has been chairman of Tesco, the largest private sector employer in the UK. He has also been chairman of Barratt Developments since 2014.
Previously, amongst other senior roles, he was non-executive director at Worldpay. He was also chairman of Dixons Retail and chief financial officer and a board member of Deutsche Post DHL.
In 2006, he was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for services to freight transport.

Knitting Enthusiast's Sweater Business Flourishes Amidst Lockdown
June 27, 2021 by Kayla Kahrl & Addison Whiten

When Pepperdine alumna (2021) Kendall Ross was 11 years old, a local yarn store owner taught her how to knit in her hometown of Oklahoma City, sparking a lifelong passion and now, her own knitting business, 'I'd Knit That.'
While she initially created her Instagram account, @id.knit.that, to share pieces she created for fun, Ross said she began to take her craft more seriously during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ross' Instagram account started gaining a lot of traction in the spring of 2020, so she created a website to sell her designs.
Ross said 'I'd Knit That' was able to take off during quarantine because of the new free time she had to create clothing items and the rise in fast fashion awareness.
"People really don't want fast fashion anymore," Ross said. "People are buying handmade, thrifting and learning to make their own clothes. I love that. I think so much of that shift really helped my business because I sell things that I make myself. It's not fast fashion, it's just me."
Ross poses for a photo in a custom knit set in Oklahoma City in June. A major part of the growth of Ross' business over the last year was her custom creations like the one pictured.
In a typical week, Ross said she makes two to three sweaters and often sets small goals for herself throughout the week so she can finish them on time. Ross hand-knits sweaters, cardigans and other clothing; she also creates patterns so her followers can recreate her designs on their own.
Ross' mom poses in a cardigan Ross knitted for her sister-in-law in Oklahoma City in January. Ross later released the design she used to make this sweater on her website so customers could make it on their own.
Her business gave her more confidence in her abilities and allowed her to take her passion and turn it into a larger operation. Ross said running 'I'd Knit That' showed her knitting can be so much more than just a hobby.
"When you think of knitting, you think of women doing it and I used to see it as unimportant because I would think it's just girlies knitting, but I think for me, owning a business has reaffirmed the validity of knitting and a lot of really feminine things," Ross said. "It's really given me the opportunity to get to know a lot of other people who do things like this and see the value."
Ross said she runs 'I'd Knit That' primarily through Instagram. 'I'd Knit That' originally gained a lot of attention from Pepperdine students on the app, and now people across the country are following her work, including Auliʻi Cravalho, the voice actress for Moana.

Although running her business through Instagram has been successful, Ross said it's difficult not to base the quality of her work on the number of likes and comments her posts get.
"I'll find myself thinking, 'Oh, well, clearly this isn't good because it didn't get enough likes,'" Ross said. "So it's having to navigate, 'I know this is good. I like it, I made it and it's my art,' versus 'This isn't doing well on social media.'"
A vest Ross knit in June is photographed on her hot pink kitchen table for an Instagram post that shows off her work. Ross said she has recently started incorporating beadwork into her knitwear, like the floral designs in this piece.
Her passion for knitting and sustainable fashion led Ross to write her senior thesis on the history of women knitting during World War I. After graduating as a History major in May, Ross said she is focusing on running 'I'd Knit That' from her hometown of Oklahoma City.
"I'm really excited to continue 'I'd Knit That' and see how it grows," Ross said.

Lej I FINE..THANK YOU..LOVE YOU hos Itunes for 39 kr.
"Pleng" (Ice – Preechaya Pongthananikorn) is a charming and beautiful English tutor. Her ordinary life takes an unexpected turn when she is asked an extraordinary favor; to help one of her students dump her Thai boyfriend named "Gym" (Sunny Suwanmethanont). Unfortunately, Gym doesn't understand English so Pleng's student records her voice message and asks Pleng to translate her message to him. When Gym realizes that he is being dumped, he pins blame on Pleng for his girlfriend leaving him being that Pleng taught his girlfriend the English to pass her US job interview. It is at that moment Gym persuades Pleng to teach him English too, hoping to go to the US to reconcile with his girlfriend. Pleng has reservations but agrees. Gym's English is very basic and he's such a slow learner. He works as a maintenance engineer at a factory. Pleng does her best to teach him. She lets Gym read children books to get started. Gym tries very hard and Pleng sees his effort and begins to sympathize with him. At the same time, Pleng has fallen in love with another one of her students, "Pruek" (Two- Popetorn Sunthornyanakij), a handsome guy from a good family. He is a hopeless romantic who always find the way to surprise Pleng and eventually they become a couple. "I Fine..Thank you..Love You" is a grammatically incorrect love story that illustrates the beauty of imperfection over perfection.

I can't write anything to my iDisk anymore! I don't know whats wrong and I can't create a homepage in iPhoto anymore! HELP!
Is your iDisk full perhaps?
Yeah, there is something weird going on with the iDisk thing. I try to open it, it tells me my username or password is wrong, opens Internet Preferences, and then before I touch anything, it goes ahead and opens the iDisk. Sounds like the problem is a glitch on their end. Email Apple, or wait a couple hours and try again... I am sure it will be fixed shortly.


As the sun set on Bonnaroo's second night of music festivities, Sturgill Simpson and company took the large What Stage with a modest demeanor, picking up their instruments without a word as the growing audience eagerly cheered them on. The stage was illuminated only by standard white overhead lights, and the towering display screen behind the four-piece remained black.
But as Simpson launched into the first song of the set, "Welcome To Earth (Pollywog)," it was clear that no flashy displays or lights would be needed. The band's music spoke for itself.
During the course of Simpson's performance, the frontman shredded on his numerous Telecaster guitars while being backed by Miles Miller, clad in his cowboy hat on drums, Chuck Bartels on bass guitar and Bobby Emmett playing a vintage organ attached to a rotating speaker cabinet. While the small group only took up a small portion of the stage, the flamboyant scope of their country-rock sound felt immense.
Much of Simpson's set consisted of songs from his latest album, "A Sailor's Guide to Earth," with highlights coming from the energetic jams of "Keep It Between The Lines" and "Brace for Impact (Live A Little)." On both tracks, the standard structure transitioned into extended guitar jams, with Simpson covering both rhythm and lead guitar parts as he wildly traversed the neck of his guitar.
The songs from "A Sailor's Guide to Earth" also contain a prevalent theme of maturation, with the album written from the perspective of a father informing his son on the ways of the world.
However, Saturday's show marked a milestone in maturity for Simpson, as he celebrated his 40th birthday at the festival. After hearing the crowd chant "Happy Birthday" to him, he excitedly reminded everyone of the hilarity of ushering in the second half of his life in such a fashion.

Looking for the best osteopathic med school admissions advice out there? Ace those AACOMAS apps by reading our osteopathic application tips series – each post, another set of 5 expert tips that will help you get ACCEPTED.
The Experiences section in the AACOMAS application asks you to list your non-academic work, including healthcare-related work, non-healthcare work, volunteer work, and extracurricular activities. The Achievements section is the space for you to include academic honors, awards and scholarships. Below are five tips for completing this section of the AACOMAS.
1. Categorize your activity by type.
The AACOMAS application doesn't let applicants list hours twice. If you experience includes two different types of activities – like research and clinical work – divide the experience and hours into two separate categories (e.g. 10 hours research and 30 hours clinical work). The AACOMAS doesn't have a section for publications and poster presentations. You should put them in the Achievements section.
2. Focus on quality, not quantity.
Admissions committees aren't impressed by a large number of activities that require minimum commitment. Instead, they look for depth of experience and time dedication.
3. College and post-college experiences only.
Don't include experiences from high school.
4. Do not include future experiences.
If you haven't started an activity yet, you should not include it in the AACOMAS experiences section. Hypotheticals, theoreticals and "not yets" aren't experience.
5. Write in complete sentences.
When you describe your experiences, use complete sentences rather than bullet points. This simply adds to the professional appearance of your application.
Remember that the experiences section of the AACOMAS is your opportunity to present non-academic achievements to the admissions committee. Use the space to impress the committee with your dedication, your compassion, your communications skills, and your leadership – with the non-academic, qualitative and human side of you.
Use the Achievements section to highlight academic achievement that goes beyond good grades and a solid GPA.
You need to work hard if you want to submit a winning AACOMAS (or AMCAS or AADSAS) application — and we can help! Check out Accepted's Primary Application Package to receive complete application guidance from conceptualization to final review. Your experienced consultant will guide you through the entire primary application, ensuring that you make the best use of your time to create a compelling portrait of yourself as a future leader in the medical field.

European Court of Justice sets aside Portuguese rules time-barring a damages action
The European Court of Justice recently confirmed that if the EU Damages Directive does not apply, it is up to national rules to enable claimants to effectively claim EU antitrust damages.
In this case, the Court considered that the Portuguese limitation rules (a short limitation period that may start before the victim knows who is liable and that cannot be suspended during the authority's investigation) made it practically impossible or excessively difficult to obtain compensation, and should therefore be set aside.
The Court of Justice clarified these issues when answering preliminary questions from the Lisbon District Court on the applicability of the EU Damages Directive (the Directive), and the compatibility of the Portuguese rules on limitation with general European law principles. The Court of Justice found that the Directive was not applicable, and assessed the Portuguese rules in light of the principle of effectiveness.
In June 2013, the Portuguese Competition Authority imposed a fine on Sport TV for abusing its dominant position in the pay-TV market. In 2015, one of Sport TV's contractual partners, Cogeco, sued Sport TV, seeking compensation for the harm it had suffered as a result of Sport TV's abusive conduct. Sport TV argued that Cogeco's claim was time-barred, based on the fact that Cogeco had already made a complaint to the Authority in 2009.
Under Portuguese law, the claim of Cogeco would be time-barred, but under the rules prescribed by the Directive it would not. The Directive provides that limitation periods should be at least five years, commencing when the infringement has ceased and the claimant knows or can reasonably be expected to know of the infringement, the harm caused, and the identity of the infringer. Additionally, the period must be suspended during the investigation of a competition authority. Conversely, Portuguese civil law provides a three-year limitation period starting from the moment the claimant becomes aware of its right to compensation, even if he is unaware of the identity of the person liable and the full extent of the damage. Moreover, this limitation period is not interrupted or suspended during the proceedings of a competition authority. In light of these diverging rules on limitation, the Portuguese court sought guidance from the Court of Justice on the applicability of the Directive's rules, and on whether other rules or principles of European law were relevant to this dispute.
The Court of Justice found that the Directive was not applicable ratione temporis (meaning "in time") because Cogeco had filed the claim before transposition of the Directive into the Portuguese legal order. Therefore, the Court of Justice analysed the Portuguese laws on limitation against the European law principle of effectiveness.
In the context of competition law damage claims, this principle entails that national rules may not make it practically impossible or excessively difficult for victims to exercise the right to claim compensation. In its analysis, the Court of Justice found that the Portuguese rules on limitation indeed breached this principle: "a limitation period of three years, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, which, first, starts to run from the date on which the injured party was aware of its right to compensation, even if the infringer is not known and, secondly, may not be suspended or interrupted in the course of proceedings before the national competition authority, renders the exercise of the right to full compensation practically impossible or excessively difficult."
This ruling confirms that – in the absence of applicability of the Directive – it is for the national legal order to provide the rules for EU antitrust damages claims. These national rules must however comply with European law principles, and can – if necessary – be considered inapplicable under these principles.

I am a 28year old Girl, dealing with Work and Life stress. So no time to care about the skin. And since my skin is very sensitive. I just cannot use many products.
And, when I heard about "Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum" I didn't give it much of the attention. As I have tried a lot of creams but no use, my skin was the same dull and dry.
But then someone gifted me this, and I thought to give it a try. You won't believe the astonishing effect I got by applying this Serum. It was like a miracle, with my skin vibrant and glowy again.
The cream has evened out my skin tone, fading away all the post blemish spots.
Though it is a little expensive but totally worth it. You can purchase it in the offseason and can save a lot of money.
But this product is worth to spend on. I highly recommend this product for the fast and consistent result. It is just AMAZING!
Do they work for all skin types and colours? I've always had issues with most great skin care and cosmetic products shipped internationally (I'm in Nigeria) as they don't work well with our skin colour.
I have a really oily skin so I might try the first one. Never heard of this brand before but it might be worth trying.
Hey Nina, Thanks for the comment. Its all are amazing products and effective result.
Effective anti ageing cream is all i needed. Thank you for this beautiful blog.
I think promise keeper is best for me with its potent ingredients like caffeine and pomegranate enzymes and probiotics…..
Never used any product of this brand but seeing your review of recommended products its easier to decide.
The first one definitely worked for me and my lovely babe too.
AWW, Don't forget to share your experience with us.
These products sound great. I'd like to try the Flavanone Mud mask.
I never heard that brands before! I really want to find that products! Sounds really good!
I love the Mud Face Masks For Skin Detox – and face moisturizer. My skin is sensitive and dry most of the time probably because of the weather. Thanks for sharing this I will definitely try.
Some great products here! A few I have tried and a few I haven't, the last one look really interesting!
Hey, All products are effective, please try it and share your experience with us.
We love the sun just as much as you do, but the price of a summer glow is usually sunspots, discoloration and pigmentation over time. This can happen with or without the sun as our skin ages and loses its ability to keep its even tone on its own.

Salami Aleikum ist ein deutscher Film des deutsch-iranischen Filmregisseurs Ali Samadi Ahadi. In Deutschland startete der Film am 23. Juli 2009, der offizielle Kinostart in Österreich war der 1. Januar 2010.
Die multikulturelle Filmkomödie erzählt die Geschichte einer persischen Fleischerfamilie aus Köln, die nach Ostdeutschland fährt und dort in einem verschlafenen Provinzdorf einen Kulturschock erfährt und provoziert.

Handlung

Der zartbesaitete Mohsen Taheri verbringt seine Zeit am liebsten mit Stricken und kann kein Blut sehen. Darum widert ihn die Fleischerarbeit seines Vaters, der aus dem Iran stammt und seit vielen Jahren in Köln eine Metzgerei betreibt, an. Als er aufgrund eines behördlichen Berufsverbots die Fleischerei übernehmen muss, bekommt er das Angebot eines Polen, fleischreiche Schafe aus Polen fertig geschlachtet zu importieren, die dann in seiner Fleischerei verkauft werden können.
Mohsen gibt dem windigen Händler sein ganzes Erspartes und fährt mit dem alten Lieferwagen seines Vaters in Richtung Polen, bleibt aber bei einem Dorf in Ostdeutschland mit dem Fahrzeug liegen. Er bekommt Hilfe von der dortigen Automechanikerin, in die er sich auch sogleich verliebt.
Die kräftige und deutlich größer als Mohsen gewachsene Mechanikerin Ana war früher eine erfolgreiche Kugelstoßerin der DDR. Ihre Karriere endete nach der Wende jäh, als ihre (angeordneten) Dopingvergehen publik wurden. Ihre große Liebe, ihr Trainer, verließ sie (Richtung Westdeutschland), weswegen Ana nun allen Männern gegenüber äußerst misstrauisch ist, zumal sie sich für unattraktiv hält.
So hat es Mohsen schwer, ihr Vertrauen zu gewinnen. Auch die Dorfbewohner begegnen ihm mit Misstrauen und Vorurteilen, bis plötzlich durch ein Missverständnis vor allem seitens Anas Vater, dem Dorfwirt, der hoffnungsvolle Verdacht aufkeimt, der junge kluge Iraner sei ein potenter Investor, der die verfallene Textilfabrik im Ort wieder mit Leben und Arbeitsplätzen erfüllen möchte.
Mohsen zerstreut den falschen Verdacht um Anas Liebe willens vorerst nicht. Im Dorfgasthof wird fortan, um sich bei dem Gast einzuschmeicheln, persisches Essen serviert.

Als das Auto repariert ist, fährt Ana mit Mohsen nach Polen. Dort zeigt sich, dass er einem Betrug aufgesessen ist – es sind nur wenige magere Schafe, die er bekommt. Darunter ist ein trächtiges Mutterschaf, das während des wegen fehlender Einfuhrpapiere illegalen Übergangs über die Grenze ein Junges wirft (welches sich zum Schluss als der (kindliche) Erzähler zu erkennen gibt, der den gesamten Film aus dem Off begleitete).

Kurz darauf platzen Mohsens Eltern in die Dorfidylle, die aus Sorge um das Wohlergehen ihres Sohnes angereist sind.
Mohsen unternimmt alles, damit sich sein ahnungsloser Vater nicht verplappert, der sich zwischenzeitlich über ein gemeinsames Faible für Armeeuniformen und Schnaps mit Anas Vater angefreundet hat.
Als Mohsen Ana einen Heiratsantrag macht, klärt der junge Mann vor allen im Gasthof das ganze Missverständnis und gibt zu, es schon länger durchschaut zu haben.
Daraufhin verpasst Ana ihm einen Kinnhaken und wendet sich enttäuscht ab.

Es dauert etwas, bis alle Protagonisten wieder zueinander finden.
So auch Ana, die Mohsen in Polen aufsucht, wohin sich dieser, von Anas Sturköpfigkeit ebenfalls enttäuscht, zurückgezogen hat.
Aus der Erkenntnis, dass das iranische Essen im Dorfgasthof ein Verkaufsknüller ist, wird aus einem Teil der alten Fabrik ein lukratives iranisch-deutsches Kulturzentrum, welches großen Zulauf erhält.

Untermalt wird der Film von kurzen Einlagen im Stile typischer iranischer Videoclips, deren – für das deutsche Kinopublikum gewollt komisch wirkende – Kitschigkeit ein Element dieser Komödie ist. Mitwirkende sind die Protagonisten des Films.

Drehorte u. a. Berlin, Brandenburg: Nauen, Kleinmachnow, Dahlewitz, Golzow, Velten, Rüdersdorf, Nudow

Rezeption

 "Lachattacke gegen die Angst vor dem Fremden" DER STANDARD
 "Fazit: Fantasievoll-witziger Culture Clash" KURIER
 "Nie war der Zusammenprall der Kulturen komischer." CINEMA
 "Der Film bietet erfreulich sinnfreie Kurzweil für alle, die sich in jüngster Vergangenheit bei ähnlich gelagerten Filmen wie Kebab Connection und Schnitzelparadies zu amüsieren gewusst haben. Gewöhnungsbedürftig sind allerdings die zahlreichen filmischen Sondereinlagen, die an manchen Stellen den Verdacht aufkommen lassen, dass mittels dieser Originalität die Schwächen der Handlung überspielt werden sollen." (UNVERSTÄNDLICHES GESPRÄCH) Filmblog
 "…so zauberhaft-kreativ wie 'Amélie' von Montmartre." BLICKPUNKT FILM
 "Herrlich unkorrekt. Die Klischees beider Seiten kommen hier in den großen Sack, die Baseballkeule ist aber nicht nötig." TAZ
 "… eine detailreiche, großartig fotografierte Märchenwelt, in der die Figuren auf kluge und ungemein liebevolle Weise überzeichnet wirken." FRANKFURTER NEUE PRESSE
 "Ein Multikulti-Märchen aus dem Wilden Osten" FALTER
 "Salami Aleikum kommt als ein satirisch überhöhtes und dabei ziemlich vergnügliches Spiel mit Klischees und Vorurteilen daher. Ein in seiner Verspieltheit und undidaktischen Leichtigkeit ziemlich singuläres Werk im aktuellen deutschen Kino." BERLINONLINE.DE

Auszeichnungen
Salami Aleikum gewann beim Internationalen Filmfest Emden-Norderney 2009 den zweiten Preis des Bernhard-Wicki-Filmpreises und den NDR Filmpreis für den Nachwuchs. Der Film war für den MFG-Star Baden-Baden 2009 nominiert.

Den Preis der Deutschen Filmkritik für 2009 erhielt der Film in der Kategorie Bester Debütfilm im Rahmen der Berlinale. 2010 wurde Filmkomponist Ali N. Askin für den Deutschen Filmpreis nominiert.

Home News Health & Wellness How Tribal Nations Are Handling the Pandemic Across the U.S.
Chris Picciuolo
Choctaw Health Center workers at The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians administer the COVID-19 vaccine to frontline healthcare workers. Photo credit to MBCI.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a study on December 17 which shows that American Indians (AI) and Alaska Natives (AN) have a death rate from COVID-19 at 1.8 times greater than non-Hispanic whites, based on data from 14 participating states.
According to the study, there is excess risk, especially for AI/AN males and persons ages 20 to 49 years.
In its November 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic Vaccine Plan, the Indian Health Service (IHS) stated that AI/AN populations across the country have infection rates more than 3.5 times higher than non-Hispanic whites and are more than four times more likely to be hospitalized as a result of COVID-19.
IHS is currently implementing the plan across the country, allocating the Pfizer vaccine to tribal communities either through state or federal channels.
"By offering Indian health providers a choice in how COVID-19 vaccines are delivered, the Trump Administration will ensure that vaccines are effectively delivered throughout Indian Country in ways that make sense for tribal communities," said Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar. "Tribal nations have been a key part of our planning for the vaccine rollout so that American Indians and Alaska Natives will have equitable access to safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines as soon as they become available."
Here's how a few tribes are handling the vaccine distribution:
Alaska Natives: The federal government has allocated 11,700 doses of the vaccine to the Alaska Tribal Health System for distribution through Alaska Native IHS facilities.
Montana Tribes: According to the Great Falls Tribune, tribal communities in Montana such as the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, Blackfeet Nation and Little Shell Tribe have elected to receive their vaccine allocations through the state, while all five of the state's urban Indian health centers and IHS sites went the federal route through IHS.
The Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians: The tribe began its vaccination program at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, December 16, by administering the first vaccine injection to Sault Tribe Health Director Leo Chugunov, M.D. The first shipment of 185 doses, which arrived on December 15 in a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter, is intended for Health Division employees before being administered to critical personnel of the Sault Tribe (non-Health Division) and then Sault Tribe elders.
The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians: According to a Facebook post on December 16, the Choctaw Health Center (CHS) received its allotment of the first shipment of the Pfizer vaccine from IHS, making the CHS the first hospital in Neshoba County to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The first three doses were administered the next day, and the first 100 doses were given over the course of a couple days to frontline healthcare workers.
The Navajo Nation: As the vaccine becomes available in the coming weeks, COVID-19 cases are still rising across Indian Country. On December 16, the Navajo Department of Health reported 160 new positive cases and four deaths. The total number of deaths in Navajo Nation as of the morning of December 17 was 731, with 10,779 recoveries.
Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez said in a statement, "Officials with the Chinle Comprehensive Health Care Facility indicated on Tuesday (December 15) that they are beginning to see a flattening of the curve in their region. This is very good news, but we have to keep our guard up and keep fighting. Stay home as much as possible, wear a mask, practice social distancing, avoid gatherings and crowds, and wash your hands often." The vaccine was shipped to the Gallup, Chinle and Tuba City healthcare facilities at the beginning of the week of December 14. Nez said that by December 20, all 3,900 doses were administered to nursing home staff, first responders and elders, with the rest of the population receiving initial doses by late spring 2021.

Questions and Answers : Preferences : multiple CPUs per app?
1) is it possible to create an app_config.xml for CPDN and have the project use it, in particular to assign more than one CPU to an app?
2) if so, is there any idea how much faster an app would be with, say, 2 CPUs instead of 1? I know it won't be twice as fast, but it might be, say, half-again faster.
This question has been asked numerous times over the years. As I understand it, the reason that the use of multiple CPU's hasn't been pursued is that in the climate models, each computation is dependent on the value produced by the previous one. This may not completely preclude some gains by using multiple cores but would almost certainly make any gains insignificant to the processing power lost by not having all cores crunching different tasks.

From the past pages of dawn: 1968: Fifty years ago: 1.5m to perform Haj
From the NewspaperMarch 11, 2018
There was no issue of the newspaper on March 11, 1968 on account of Id-ul-Azha. The following extract is from the previous day's issue.
MECCA: About 15 lakh Muslims from all over the world performed 'Wakoof' here on Friday [March 8] during Haj-i-Akbar ceremonies.
They stood in white seamless robes from dawn to dusk on a sacred granite mountain near Mecca beseeching Allah's forgiveness.
Leading today's 'Wakoof' ceremony, said Mecca Radio, was Saudi Arabia's King Faisal, who is the temporal guardian of Mecca. He was flanked by prominent Muslim leaders including Somalia's President, Abdel Rashid Aly Shermarke, Kuwaiti Premier, Sheikh el-Ahmed el-Sabah, Indonesia's Foreign Minister, Adam Malik, and Arab League Secretary-General, Abdel Khalek Hassouna.
Rich and poor, white and black, the pilgrims had journeyed to Mecca by land, air and sea from as far east as the Philippines and as far west as Morocco. Their chants, broadcast live all day over the radio, were frequently interrupted by appeals for the "liberation of sacred Islamic shrines in Jerusalem". — Agency

In reviewing my list of activities in order to build the World of Samardan campaign setting, I realize that I've totally skipped the step in which I create some lairs to sprinkle about the countryside. With that in mind, I think I'll offer some examples over the next few posts, to help with beefing the setting up with lots of adventure ideas and opportunities. If some of the examples I use seem somewhat familiar, you should know that I am basing some of these lairs on stories from the Planetary Romance genre.
A large pride of hatagati have claimed the wreckage of a shattered airship as their lair. The cargo hold contains several crates of rotted medicinal herbs and the skeleton of the unfortunate pilot. A crystal pistol and a spare power crystal still hang from the pilot's harness.
Several seasons back, a star fell from the sky, leaving a great crater behind upon impact. Since then, strange mutant creatures began hunting in this region, apparently lairing in or near the crater itself. These bizarre tarfarkati ("star"+"alien/aberration" + "carnivore") frequently threaten nearby settlements, and these villages are often too small to adequately defend themselves from the bestial hordes.
A small copse of giant mushrooms fill a small depression in the wastelands, protected somewhat from the winds above. An isolated band of Varrani ("leaf+men") warriors have claimed this site as their own, and will fiercely defend it from all intruders. When water becomes scarce, the Varrani warriors will raid nearby settlements for the precious liquid.
This ruined building standing alone on a hillock is honored by local Husrani tribes as a shrine devoted to the sun. Offerings of food and other consumables are left here by the tribes. A human hermit hides within a secret chamber inside the ruins, stealing the offerings at night and leaving behind cryptic pictographs as omens. A growing cult of sun-worshipping warrior-priests has started to interpret the omens left behind, and their spiritual leader, Sen Devakusan, advocates a holy war against non-believers.
Pansanu Luso Fortahen once held the citadel of Tamasol as an outpost of distant Torkobalem. After his son died as a soldier in Torkobalem's armies, Pansanu Luso Fortahen announced that he could no longer support the tyranny of Raganu Pekadevi Rekatur, and declared the citadel independent of Torkobalem's rule. The Pansanu of Tamasol continues to fortify his position in preparation for Raganu Pekadevi Rekatur's eventual response to the citadel's secession from the Empire.
Standard Disclaimer: As I have not yet decided where to set these particular lairs on the map as yet, I've left a placeholder to remind me to come back to this in the future. Later on, I'll replace (Hex) with the actual hex location, when I put all of this together into a single document.

Wizkid Named Artist Of The Year By Apple Music
Apple Music announced winners from its annual Apple Music Award on November 29, 2021 and Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar, Wizkid was named Artist of The Year (Africa), while The Weeknd was named Artist of The Year globally.
Other winners at the awards are Aya Nakamura, who was Artist of The Year in France, and H.E.R, who was named Songwriter of The Year.
Wizkid's excerpt reads, "Singer-songwriter Wizkid is one of Africa's biggest crossover acts, having worked with Drake, Skepta, and Chris Brown, among others. The Nigerian musician first found regional success in 2011 with the massively popular single "Holla at Your Boy," which appeared on his debut album, "Superstar." Wizkid went global in 2016 after his collaboration with Drake on "One Dance," which soared to the top of the charts in 15 countries.
"Between 2019 and 2020, Wizkid was featured in Beyoncé's projects "The Lion King: The Gift" and its companion piece, "Black Is King." In October 2020, he released "Made in Lagos," his critically acclaimed and most commercially successful album, which included his hit song "Essence," a track that gained 125 million plays on Apple Music and over 2.8 million Shazams.
This past year, he's been the most streamed African artist on the continent on Apple Music and ranked on the Daily Top 100 charts in 60 countries, in addition to his monthly plays on Apple Music growing by more than 250 percent outside of Africa.
He's also been featured on Apple Music's Today's Hits and R&B Now playlists, and he's a frequent guest on Apple Music Radio shows, including "Africa Now Radio," "The Ebro Show," "New Music Daily with Zane Lowe," and "OVO SOUND RADIO."
"Thank you to Apple Music for this award," Wizkid speaks about winning the award. "It's a blessing to get to do what I do, and I'm proud to be representing for Africa."

'Final Fantasy VII' Launches on Steam
One of the biggest role playing games of all time is now available through Steam. Square Enix has just launched Final Fantasy VII on the service, almost a year after re-releasing the Windows version on its own site. The Steam version appears to be identical to that edition, which means it includes both achievements and cloud saving, in addition to the convenience of purchasing through Valve's digital store. The seminal RPG, originally released on PlayStation back in 1997, will cost you $11.99. The news comes just days after Square Enix revealed a special pre-order bonus for the upcoming Lightning Returns: FInal Fantasy XIII, which will let players dress Lightning up as Cloud, FF VII's spiky haired, giant sword-wielding hero.

In Northern Minnesota, 'Snow Farmers' Make Sure A Ski-Racing Tradition Endures For the past few years, there hasn't been enough natural snow in Mora, Minn. to carpet the forests for a famed cross-country ski race. Local farmers now volunteer to make snow for the trails.
A lot of people have worked their tails off to create this race, to keep it going. At this point, I absolutely don't want to see this tradition die in Mora.
[The snow farmers are] a generally Nordic-descended, Viking-stubborn, Einstein-crossed-with-MacGyver ingenious group of volunteers.


Luxury is in the air at this all-inclusive resort on the D.R.'s eastern coast. The open-air lobby has a soaring peaked thatch roof, and with just 51 suites divided between a two-story thatched building and freestanding villas, privacy is given primacy. The resort takes all inclusive to the next level by giving guests "Endless Privileges" — think gourmet dining (no buffets), daily fruit basket, top-shelf booze and one spa treatment per stay. Three on-site restaurants draw culinary inspiration from tradition around the globe; Olena has European flair while Amaya mixes Dominican fare with international preparations and Indigo keeps it healthy with light fare. Not feeling like going out? No worries, the resort offers in-suite dining all day long.
Travelers up for an adventure should explore some of the best beaches in the world on this island, namely Playa Cabo Engaño, Playa del Macao (surfers rejoice), and Playa El Cortecito. No need to rent a car; taxis are inexpensive and plentiful, and El Cortecito even has a water taxi. Be sure to stick around at this bustling beach town for fresh seafood and local artisan vendors.
We celebrated 25th wedding anniversary at Zoetry. The people, grounds and facilities were all very nice, and the beach and pool were peaceful and relaxing. Most of the stay was wonderful!
Some of the items others have shared concerns about, I would like to address. I read a lot about mosquitoes or bug bites. This must be dependent on the weather conditions, as we never saw bugs or were bitten. They say the resort supplies bug spray, though I never saw any in our room or elsewhere. They do fumigate periodically but other than some noise from the process, it was not bothersome.
They have you meet a representative to give you resort coupons (most of which could not be used due to restrictions) and to try to convince you to attend some 2 hour presentation about joining their vacation club, for a $200 resort credit. We declined and the rep was kind of pushy about it until I finally just said no, we are not doing it, and she backed off.
The beach was fantastic. There is seaweed along the length of the beach but they do a great job of removing that along the resort and it was not an issue at all. The water is pretty calm and easy to swim. There are a few rock/reef formations that are easy to see, either to avoid stepping on them, or to snorkel over to look for fish. (They have a water sports shack with snorkels, kayaks, and some other gear). There are a variety of lounge chairs, day beds and two person beach beds and something was always available. You can choose to be under umbrellas/thatched roofs or out in the sun. The temperature and breeze were perfect every day, very calm and relaxing. You were not right on top of other guests so there is some privacy. The beach waiters check on you periodically and will deliver drinks as needed. The drinks were kind of weak in my opinion, but otherwise tasty.
The personal concierge (ours was Wilne) was very nice and attentive, but not obtrusive. He helped arrange a cake for our anniversary and sent some wine to our room, with an appetizer/cheese tray. Very nice. He always was available to help with spa appointments or answer questions. The rest of the staff was friendly and seemed happy to be working there. There is a variable language barrier, and the staff who interact most with you can speak English adequately, but the housekeepers and groundskeepers mostly do not. The wait staff in restaurants were nice and friendly, and mostly efficient, except for a few minor episodes.
The room was very nice and comfortable, though calling it a suite is generous. It is a large single room with a partial bamboo curtain separating the sink area (two sinks). It was perfectly fine, clean and everything worked. The power went out briefly two nights and the AC does not re-set to cool after that, so we had to figure that out. The internet coverage was really very good everywhere, even out on the beach, and pretty fast. I could stream video on the beach.
The grounds were very well maintained and the buildings and facilities were mostly first rate. The public bathrooms near the pool and lobby area were pretty nice and were always clean. My wife enjoyed the yoga instructor very much, and the spa treatments she had. The fitness room had 2 treadmills, 2 bikes (that I could never figure out how to adjust) and one elliptical, but usually there were 1-2 people in there so you could get access to things. I tried the sauna and whirlpool which were in a nice facility, though I thought the water in the whirlpool area was way too hot.
The only slight negative was the food. It is not bad but not great either. Breakfast was always good, lunch was also pretty good, but dinners were mostly disappointing. We tried all 3 dinner restaurants and the food was usually bland and the seafood I had was only fair. I am not a demanding "foodie" so it was all fine, but if I had gourmet dining as a goal on this trip, I would have been unhappy.
A word about beer and wine selection. They have only a couple of beer options, local Presidente (which I did not care for) or supposedly Corona. however, they were out of Corona most places the first few days and had some other limited options that were inconsistent, Coors light, Miller or once a Heineken. Usually I'd ask for corona, they would say they were out, they offer Presidente, I ask for something else, they root around in the fridge or cooler and fish out some mass market beer from the back. Re: wine, there are a few house wines that are included, which is fine if you like the limited options (my wife likes Chardonnay, they had one spanish version). Otherwise you can order a bottle with dinner, which we did once for $55 for a mediocre bottle. One small tip if you are particular about your wine, which my wife is: we brought a couple bottles of her favorite with us in our packed bags (use Jetbags to transport), and enjoyed that before dinner, and took a big glass with us to dinner after the first night. So much for all inclusive!
One funny quirk, the steps up to our second floor room were just treads "toe-nailed" into the side frames of the stairs, with no support underneath them. They were in good shape but never would meet building code in US, and you had to hope those nails held up, as that was all that was supporting you!
Overall the trip was just what we hoped for: relaxation with no hassles and no work or obligations. The temperature was consistently ideal and sitting on the beach reading under an umbrella, with no loud party music or big crowds, was just what we wanted. We did not do any excursions other than the included horseback riding, which was fun and not too long. The resort is kind of remote so getting to other resorts or excursions incurs significant transportation costs. We were perfectly happy to stay on site at Zoetry and be pampered.
Bedding and toiletries very nice, Food was great and there were many options to choose from, room service was fast and friendly. Resort is beautiful and very relaxing. Beach is amazing, plenty of palapas and beach chairs. Pool was a bit on the cold side. Evening entertainment was less than desirable but we weren't there for the night life. Defiantly a great place to stay.
My mom and I had a wonderful time at Zoetry Punta Cana. We were looking for a quiet and relaxing vacation which is exactly what we got. At first, we thought that we may have chosen a resort that was too quiet, however, as we got settled after the first day we found that there is, in fact, a ton to do on the resort. The spa, lot's of exercise options including yoga every morning at 8:30 AM with an instructor, swimming in the pools and at the beach, as well as various types of activities scattered in throughout the week. The staff overall is wonderful, extremely friendly, and truly will give you whatever you ask for. You can be as involved or uninvolved within the community as you like. Personally, we had a fantastic stay and I would recommend this resort to friends and family.
My wife and I recently returned from Zoetry Punta Cana. We had a great experience! The staff was wonderful, the food was excellent, and the rooms exceeded our expectations. Our butler, Dio, provided us with world class service. The couples massage in the spa was very relaxing. We enjoyed the night time activities and shows. The bars serve top shelf liquor. The beach is beautiful and the flowers and landscaping throughout the resort are breathtaking. I would suggest an ocean front suite, it was well worth the money. Thank you Zoetry Agua Punta Cana for an unforgettable trip. We can't wait to return!
My wife and I visited the resort to celebrate our anniversary and had an amazing time. The resort is beautiful, the beach is great, and the staff are wonderful. The resort is peaceful and relaxing, which is just what we were looking for. Our butler was Alejandro and he made sure we had everything we wanted and more. He was excellent. Joel, Marcelo, Rosie, Alfredo, and Yesica provided great service and were so friendly. We look forward to returning!


After a tough, close loss in the Cup, we knew anyone facing our Junior Cup Team would have their hands full, as Coach Louis Magee has assembled a close-knit and spirited group of talented players and they certainly had more in the tank. And we were right, as the JCT had a great win yesterday in the Duff Shield beating St. Paul's- Raheny 55-7. There were some very impressive individual performances with Andre O'Brien scoring a hat-trick of tries, Darrach Smyth and Conor Hyland touching down a brace each and Second Year Lucas Engmann striding the pitch like a collossus, scattering the mere mortals of St. Paul's like so many toy figurines. Unfortunately one of our other stars, the fleet-footed and tough-tackling Daniel Weatherley, was forced off with an injury and will be out for some weeks. Afterwards, Coach Louis stressed the great overall team effort. The team's undoubted unity and camaraderie will help them deal with the loss of such a key player as Daniel. On to the next round!

Stuart Silk, Principal, Stuart Silk Architects.
Stuart Silk
Shoptalk - Stuart Silk
What has led to your firm's continued success over the past 30-plus years?
Silk — Our team. We are led by incredibly talented folks including Amanda Cavassa, Dave King, David Marchetti, Michael McFadden, and Brie Nakamura. These individuals represent the firm's future. As a group, we work collaboratively and share design authorship. We emphasize our values over the bottom line and prioritize the importance of integrity. We promote from within by offering continuous training for our people which instills loyalty and engagement and reinforces our structure as an employee owned company.
How have you seen your career evolve over the past decades? Has your personal approach to architecture changed?
Silk — Although we are constantly improving our methods and means, our approach to architecture has not changed since the firm's inception: We honor each client's goal to create a home that is unique to them and is functional, light-filled, and beautiful. We view each new relationship as a partnership and a shared journey of discovery. We work to create a supportive environment, so each client feels comfortable to engage deeply. This ensures a sense of true ownership. In this process we continuously search for new solutions to questions of functionality and aesthetics.
When did you add interior designers to your team?
Silk — Everyone that works here has a strong affinity with how people are intimately connected to the spaces we design. We wanted to take that a step further and ten years ago we hired our first interior designer to take it to the next level. This has resulted in a truly integrated, holistic approach that provides a seamless experience for our clients.
How long has sustainability been a focus for your practice?
Silk — We have been actively focused on sustainable design for the last 12 years. We approach each client with a menu of green options that they can choose from to make their home as healthy and sustainable as possible. Our clients become our partners in reviewing options based upon their goals, upfront costs, and long-term benefits.
Outside of architecture, what other fields are you are most interested in and how do they influence your work?
Silk — Physics and philosophy fascinate me. I am endlessly curious and always seeking to better understand how our world works. I like to try to understand things through the lens of science, and when that sometimes fails, I turn to philosophy.
What can you tell us about your approach to materials?
Silk — Materials reinforce our aesthetic objectives and convey meaning. We prefer tactile materials with texture and movement that enrich the experience.
What do you think about the advancements in the materials and products industry in relation to the aesthetics of your work?
Silk — There are many new materials available today that weren't available ten to twenty years ago. These materials improve a building's overall performance and expand the range of creative solutions.
How is context an important element in your projects?
Silk — Every project begins with a careful analysis of each site's context including sun, wind, views, and surroundings. Responding thoughtfully to context is critical to a home's success, whether it is in the city, the mountains, on an island, or the desert.
Favorite travel destination for inspiration?
Silk — I love visiting Japan. Their culture's approach towards building always shows commitment to uncluttered, hand-crafted solutions that seem to defy style and yet have resonated for centuries. It carries over to all facets of life. A small grocery store or delicatessen is a beautiful work of art with everything arranged thoughtfully showing attention to every detail.
What project is your office currently working on?
Silk — We are working on a very exciting Mid-Century home in the Palm Springs area as well as a family compound on the shores of Lake Chelan.
Best way to spend a long weekend in Seattle?
Silk — Hanging with my grandkids, going on a hike in the Cascades, and dinner with friends.
How did you get into architecture?
Silk — My mother is very passionate about art and architecture and introduced me to art at a young age. When I was twelve, we went on a three-month-long family trip to central Europe and visited eight different countries. The trip left a big impression on me. She claims I scaled every bell tower in Europe. I fell in love with the many cultures I experienced, the architecture, and even painted watercolors of picturesque sites.
Later, while in college, I studied fine art and art history. One year a few friends got together and rented a ski house in Vermont for the winter. The house was designed by avant-garde architect David Sellers and was called the 'Bridge House'. This house was a 3-dimensional sculpture with six levels and many interconnected spaces. This was like nothing I'd ever experienced. David had gone to Yale (where I ended up going) and was bigger than life. The house had been on the cover of Life Magazine. I thought, "Wow, this is really cool!" That's when the notion of becoming an architect was hatched.
Apart from architecture, what are you passionate about?
Silk — I love to hike, fly fish, and bird watch. These passions are what led me to the Pacific Northwest and bring me in touch with the natural world which informs the work we do. I have an active yoga practice which not only settles the mind but engages notions of balance and movement which are important to the thoughtful orchestration of the many aspects of design and function.
I also love to travel and observe the built environment which brings me closer to the roots and origins of western architecture as well as cutting edge modernism. This grounding informs the work we do. I'm thrilled that quite a number of our staff also travel.

When self-publishing a book, every author is faced with the dilemma of creating a book cover that is worthy of their writing. But most of us don't have the money to hire a top-notch book design professional, or the tools and skills to create one ourselves. However, there is another way that many authors are finding is much cheaper and will guarantee your satisfaction: Premade book covers.
Premade book covers are book designs that a talented artist has created ahead of time. Like shopping for a dress in a store, you get to look at all they have to offer and select the cover you like best.
By using a premade book cover, you instantly sidestep many of the frustrations that come with original cover creation. There is no potential mismatch between an author's vision and the artist's output. The author knows exactly what they are purchasing. The cover is ready then and there, without any delay.
Some authors also find deeper reasons to use premade covers. A cover can be a source of inspiration and focus for a story. It can also help a writer push forward with their craft. Knowing that an attractive cover is ready and waiting for words to fill it is often inspirational.
If you think a premade cover is the right option for your work, you need to carefully consider the following.
Probably the biggest hurdle for most authors when considering a premade book cover is the worry that the cover won't be unique.
After all, books are (or should be!) a labor of love. They represent months of careful crafting and blood, sweat, and tears from the author. What could be worse than purchasing a premade book cover and eventually seeing it on the work of another writer?
The first step to ensuring you have the unique rights to a cover is to make sure the service you are using actually makes this promise in writing. Don't assume anything. Unless you can see a clear promise that the cover will be yours and yours alone, it probably won't be!
You can also do your own due diligence. It's worth carrying out an image search for the cover preview. If you see the image show up on a preexisting book which is actually being sold, that's a huge red flag.
Depending on how different you want your cover to be, you can also consider the individual cover elements. If there is a prominent image on the cover, try searching around stock image sites to see how easily it crops up. While your cover as a whole may be unique, in practical terms, it isn't so individual if prominent images from it show up elsewhere—just ask John Scalzi about that.
It's also worth considering the reputation of an artist or service. Ask around your network to get firsthand experiences with any particular service you are considering using. Also, carry out web searches to get a feel for their reputation and to spot any red flags in the form of warnings from authors who have been burned.
Your book cover often determines whether a book buyer stops to consider reading your work or moves on to something more attractive. In the age of the Kindle, readers are spoiled for choice, and your cover is an important part of intriguing the readers you deserve.
How does this cover relate to the content of my book? It's not vital for covers to show intricate details from a story. In fact, many readers often prefer to form their own mental pictures of characters and settings as they read. However, your cover shouldn't mislead. If your cover promises readers an experience they don't get, your reviews are likely to suffer.
Does the cover have the right feel for my niche or genre? It's important to think about this carefully. Often, authors come across superb premade covers, but ones which aren't suitable for their work. A cover should not only work visually, but also as an indication to readers of the type of book they are looking at.
Is there a better cover out there? Don't stop at the first great cover you find. Ideally, you want to have a number of covers to compare and contrast before making the final decision. On the other hand, don't let this turn into procrastination. Eventually, you will need to pull the trigger and make a final call.
What do my future readers think? It's often important to get some feedback before finalizing your cover. Never be afraid to solicit feedback and advice. Just make sure the people offering it are actual readers of the genre you are writing in, as their perspective is the most relevant.

The testimonials page features praise from reputable authors who specifically state which book cover was provided by The Cover Collection. The cover fonts can be customized even for premade options.
Rocking Book Covers: While the number of covers offered by Rocking Book Covers is limited, they offer a discount of purchasing more than one cover at a time. This is a great option for authors producing a series of books on a budget.
Go On Write: Go On Write offers premade covers suitable for a vast array of books, with options ranging from Abstract to Vehicles. This is a wider variety than on most sites. Additionally, Go On Write offers a range of advanced features, such as retroactively applying branding to existing covers, making minor modifications to premade covers for a low cost, and discounts for bulk orders.
Premade book covers are more affordable and quicker than original covers.
Authors know exactly what they are getting when they purchase it—no nasty surprises!
It's essential to ensure the rights to a premade book cover.
Cover choice should be carefully considered ahead of purchase.
What are your thoughts about premade book covers? Have you had any experience with them, either positive or negative? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Q: what is an alternative to method overloading to make code a bit less repetitive c# I am stuck with method overloading and I would like to know how toy could possibly simplify or redo so that I can make it one function
I would like to know
how would I be able to simplify this ->
    print(5);
    print(5.5);
    print("5");

    static void print (int x)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(x);
    }
    static void print (string x)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(x);
    }
    static void print (double x)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(x);
    }

Into something like this ->
    print(5);
    print(5.5);
    print("5");

    static void print (int x, string y, double, z)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(x);
    }

A: Make your param a generic object:
static void print (object o)
{
    ConSole.WriteLine(o);
}

this will implicitely call o.ToString.

A: Sometimes you can avoid multiple overloads if you only use common members of the different types that you think you need to handle differently. In your example, you don't need overloads at all since all of the types you want to handle have a ToString method that they inherit from object. Thus you could just simply write:
void print(object o)
{
    Console.WriteLine(o.ToString());
}

Assume you want to handle numbers and strings differently, you can also use the fact that int is implicitly casted to double. So there is no need for a separate int overload if it would do the same as on double:
void print(double d)
{
    Console.WriteLine("I am a number " + d.ToString());
}

print(1);
print(1.0); // both works

So the goal is always to find the common base class/interface or implicit type conversion to avoid redundant method overloads.

A: You can indeed take an object type as parameter, as mentioned before. I myself prefer the more elegant solution using generics:
static void print<T>(T x) {
    Console.WriteLine(x);
}

A: You DID simply it, but your function call would look like this:
print(5, 5.5, "5");

Your function would look like this:
static void print (int x, string y, double z)
{
    Console.WriteLine(x);
    Console.WriteLine(y);
    Console.WriteLine(z);
}

Growing a mussel business is no quick work. It takes 18 months for seeded mussel ropes to produce a commercially viable harvest. Mussels are typically farmed on floating rafts which are subject to wind and waves which can further slow growth by up to several months. Crop losses from storm waves and drift ice are also common, especially in the cold and windy Gulf of Maine.
Perhaps no one is better suited to research, design and introduce new farming methods than a leading aquaculturist. For years, Carter Newell, founder and managing member of Pemaquid Mussel Farms, has pondered these challenges on and off the ocean. His big idea: a patented submersible raft that makes many of the issues associated with traditional floating rafts irrelevant.
Knowing that CEI supports the growth of shellfish farming in coastal Maine, Newell reached out to a business advisor at CEI's Small Business Development Center in Wiscasset for help in developing his business plan. "The CEI business counseling was essential in putting my ideas and projections together in a plan that would be the basis for my business development," he said.
As the research and development of the technology progressed, Newell knew he would need significant financing to push the project forward. Ultimately, a myriad of supporters and lenders including CEI contributed to the financing of Newell's innovative model.
As a mission-driven investor for over 40 years, CEI aims to help support the creation of good jobs, environmentally-sustainable business, and shared prosperity. Pemaquid combines all of these goals with its strategic business plan.
Pemaquid has four sea farms which employ six part-time employees. Newell hopes to soon transition to nine full-time jobs with benefits. According to Newell, for every $1 million in mussels grown, $2.5 million is generated in economic activity for the region.
For Newell, environmental sustainability is critical in how he farms mussels. Natural local stocks are used for seed and grown in coastal waters, rafts are built using Maine-sourced goods, and ultimately, mussels are sold to Maine restaurants, wholesalers and farmer's markets. When mussels are reseeded on the farms, Pemaquid Mussel Farms uses biodegradable materials and reuses culture ropes. A portion of business profits supports the Fair Food Network. In addition to farming practices, Newell has been helping train commercial fishermen in aquaculture for more than two decades, in order to help them diversify their year-round income streams. He provides mentoring for start-up companies, and engages in research and development in applied coastal oceanography, engineering, and innovative equipment development.
