With the current political climate steering us away from environmental and social justice, now is the time to take action. The UW Sustainability Action Network (SAN), in partnership with Earth Club, Arts & Entertainment (A&E), EcoReps, UW Hip Hop Student Association (HHSA), UW Sustainability and other partners, plans to bring a new level of student leadership and vision to the annual Earth Day celebration. This year's Earth Day Festival will bring people together through performance, art, food, and activism in an immersive celebration of the unique identities and unity of the world. This festival will be a demonstration of sustainability in action both in its production and in its message. By showcasing the environmental and social initiatives on campus and demonstrating the intersectionality therein, we will provide a live example of the sustainability movement that is happening on campus.
We request $125,000 for this Festival to support national and local performers and speakers, commissioned art installations, professional staging equipment, marketing materials, locally-sourced food ingredients, and sustainable event infrastructure (to include solar power system, compostable materials, water stations, bio-toilets, and more). By combining the vision and leadership of some of UW's most active and prominent student leaders with the resources and support of the UW, we hope to curate an unprecedented celebration of sustainability, diversity, and unity this coming Earth Day.
This event will communicate and embody sustainable ideologies through the implementation of various media, inspirational performances, sustainable waste disposal, local food sourcing, and the use of renewable energy.
The Festival will feature food from around the world, prepared by an array cultural RSOs. Our organizing partners will provide RSOs with locally-sourced ingredients and supply compostable utensils. In addition, food waste will be diverted to local food banks or homeless shelters. These elements will be made possible through partnerships with campus organizations such as Real Food Challenge and Pairing UW Food Waste With Non-Profit Agencies in Need.
We intend to produce a 100% carbon-neutral event by using a solar-powered stage and providing CSF-funded biogas food carts to the food vendors. Compost and recycling bins will be onsite. There will be water stations and complimentary reusable water bottles to encourage reduction of disposable bottles.
The Earth Day Festival will be 100% student-lead with the support of select faculty. The UW Sustainability Action Network will coordinate the collaborative leadership of its partners to showcase the growing sustainability movement at the University of Washington. The Festival will feature social justice in conjunction with environmental justice, unlocking vast opportunities for student groups in each area to showcase their work.
The festival's many components (ie. Logistics, Programming, Food, Art Curation, Marketing, etc) will also provide specific opportunities for student leaders to drive these departments. The UW SAN Council is prepared and equipped to facilitate this process with the help of its key partners and faculty advisors.
SAN is already developing a year-long marketing plan, drawing connections between the initiatives and events of its partners, and building toward the Earth Day celebration throughout the school year. The diverse mix of student involvement, through organizing, performing, exhibiting, or otherwise, will generate a vast draw that reaches throughout the campus.
The planning committee plans to create a compelling brand and story for the festival that wraps key environmental and social issues of today into a collective call-to-action. By creating an event that showcases student advancement of the world that we wish to create, the Earth Day Festival will appeal to audiences beyond the environmental community. To generate the scale of interest and impact that we are envisioning, we will book one nationally-known performer and one nationally-known speaker, both of whom embody the story that we wish to tell with the Earth Day Festival.
Part of the proposed budget is designated to the marketing plan, which will include physical materials such as posters and flyers, as well as social media marketing, and video and graphic content.
The planning committee currently consists of members of SAN, HHSA, EcoReps, and UWS, all of which bring extensive event-planning expertise. SAN is a coalition of campus organizations focused on environmental and social sustainability, which will serve as key collaborators that bring diverse perspectives to the event. The committee is also developing a partnership with UW Arts & Entertainment and ASUW. Throughout the planning process, the committee will develop key metrics and performance indicators to quantify the sustainability of the event.
The Earth Day Celebration is an annual event which has been primarily planned by UWS for the last several years. In addition, EcoReps has historically provided extensive support in planning this and other sustainability events on campus. The student leaders from these entities will easily secure infrastructure such as tables or tents, while providing prior knowledge as to the permits and permissions required for the event to take place. Faculty advisors in the CCCE, UWS, A&E, and ASUW will provide guidance and mentorship in navigating UW procedures.
The partnership with A&E will allow for professional stage production and programming. Their extensive experience organizing large-scale concerts on campus that feature national talent will be essential in making this year's Earth Day celebration a historical event. The industry connections A&E holds with performers, speakers, and the channels for hiring them will also be essential in booking the necessary talent.
The realities of growing inequality, political stalemate, and climate disruption just scratch the surface of global issues we face today. It is clear that the current system doesn't work for the vast majority of people on the planet, and we need to work toward something better. Elected officials across the globe are operating on agendas rooted in fear that divide us rather than unite us. In these increasingly polarized times, there is a dire need to build connectivity and solidarity in our local communities.
In order to address sustainable and equitable solutions, barriers between the way we view our environment, society, government, and economy must be challenged. The University of Washington builds outstanding opportunities for students through world-class academic departments and an impressive array of organizations that engage students' varying interests; however, there are few mechanisms that facilitate lasting interdisciplinary connection and collaboration within the UW community. While campus events like sporting events, artistic performances, lifestyle events, and talks create significant cultural value, there is a largely untapped opportunity to produce an event that brings together many of these elements, while facilitating discussion, exploration, and networking in pursuit of a more sustainable future.
For the past year, the UW Sustainability Action Network (UW SAN) has been building a collaborative campus network that engages and empowers diverse perspectives to drive collective action. UW SAN is comprised of an administrative team and an executive council representing eight student organizations. The campus-wide Earth Day event has emerged as an opportunity to showcase and expand this growing network by igniting awareness, engagement, and action beyond the same few who are typically involved in the sustainability conversation. This showcase will combine arts and performance with exhibits and activities in a "festival" type model to accomplish this widespread engagement.
UW SAN, in partnership with the UW Sustainability Office, has been developing an enhanced model of the annual Earth Day celebration to take place on the HUB Lawn. This event will feature student and local performances, PNW change-makers, sustainability projects, and campus organizations to demonstrate the power of intersectional collaboration and the current local efforts to achieve this. Arts and performance have an unparalleled ability to resonate with diverse audiences. By curating a program centered around those features, the UW SAN and its partner organizations hope to generate widespread student interest. The event will be a platform to further develop this growing network by providing opportunities for RSOs and and individuals to participate in the sustainability movement.
We are asking CSF to contribute $11,700 to this event to support performance and speaker honorariums as well as marketing materials. In order to build a world that puts people, communities and the planet first, we need to imagine what's possible. We invite you to help us build an event that explores the realignment of our environment, society, government, and economy so that we can begin to envision those systems working better for the people and the planet.
Talent estimates are based on previous experience and conversations with faculty.

The societal and environmental struggles that our world faces are systematically intertwined in a downward spiral, necessitating far-reaching interdisciplinary and intercultural synergies to find impactful solutions. Above all else, Earth Day should seek to rebuild and rebalance our relationship with the natural world, and in doing so we must consider our predominant societal and economic habits as a global culture to drive real progress towards that goal. The unsustainable values that hurt our natural world (competition, consumption, marginalization, etc.) are hurting our local and global sense of community as well; lasting sustainability is not just about saving the trees. It is about rebalancing our relationships with each other and choosing to cooperate rather than conflict.
This concept is highlighted by the fact that the less-privileged communities of the world often see the most drastic effects of environmental injustices, such as the indigenous people of the Amazon. Residents of urban ghettos have more pressing issues to worry about than recycling. Refugees fleeing violent regimes need a roof over their heads. Environmental champions around the world are beginning to realize that it's hard to talk about sustainability without talking about equity.
To build this inclusive movement, we must identify shared values that transcend our differences and work together to create a world that embodies those values. Although the UW has already made great strides towards sustainability, there is a need to address a lack of engagement and awareness of the interdisciplinary nature of sustainability in the larger student body.
Our goal for the 2018 Earth Day event is thus to promote a holistic understanding of sustainability in the UW community that recognizes not only the value of protecting the natural environment, but the need for social, political, and economic justice. Our keynote speakers will speak on a variety of issues and draw connections between them. They will inspire hope by offering steps that we can all take in the direction that we want to go. Poets of diverse cultural backgrounds will communicate these ideas by sharing their stories. Murals will depict the challenges we face and the solidarity that is required to overcome them. Exhibits will showcase the efforts that are currently being made on campus to address these issues and provide opportunities for students to get involved. Problems will be addressed, but will be coupled with solutions that we can work towards regardless of our race, gender, identity, income, or age.
Our goal is to foster mutual understanding and intrigue amongst one another in a way that has never been done before on campus. The event will spark conversation and encourage a re-evaluation of how our thoughts, global perceptions, and everyday actions can work towards being more socially, politically, economically, and environmentally sustainable. Students will also be able to explore ways in which the UW is already making strides towards sustainability and how they individually can get involved in this campus movement.
Who do you plan on sharing this with?
What did you come to this event to see? What surprised you?
The marketing and branding component of the Earth Day celebration will be one of the most important tools in generating student interest and attendance. The Sustainability Action Network's marketing committee will develop and implement strategies and content in pursuit of that goal. This strategy will be outlined and solidified in the remainder of Winter Quarter, to be launched at the start of Spring Quarter.
The proposed budget includes allocations for marketing materials, including video development and social media promotion. The marketing committee is currently working with several videographers to explore the possibilities of an engaging video to build excitement for the event. The team is exploring ways to create an artistic visual representation of SAN's campus-wide vision. The video would have two versions: one for use before the event that specifically includes event details, and a second one that does not include the event details to serve as an ongoing marketing asset for SAN.
Arrangements have been made with UW Sustainability to plug Earth Day materials into official university channels and to supplement design support with their staff. UW Sustainability's pre-existing Earth Day designs and marketing tools will be valuable assets for the marketing strategy and provide a framework from which the student marketing team can build.
Stakeholders and supporters of this event include a broad mix of departments and communities, generating widespread interest across campus and providing multiple channels for marketing efforts. We hope that by developing an engaging, diverse, and locally-focused program, UW students, faculty, and staff will be encouraged to attend the Earth Day event and subsequently support SAN's network-building project. CSF's sponsorship of this event will be an opportunity to demonstrate their critical role in this growing network.
Environmental: Through collaborations with EcoReps, Earth Club, SAGE, and the College of the Environment.
Arts & Culture: Through partnerships with the Hip Hop Student Association and ASUW Arts & Entertainment. Collaborations within the Art & Design, Music, and DXARTS departments, as well as Cornish College of the Arts.
The Earth Day event will be primarily organized and implemented by a team of student leaders. This team currently includes a 9-student planning committee and 8-student marketing team. Student volunteers will have the opportunity to be part of a large-scale event encompassing a cross-campus social movement through planning, outreach, marketing, accounting, and day-of set up of the event.
Partner organization EcoReps has committed to providing their team of 5-20 service learners for marketing and day-of-event support. SAN's council organizations will provide additional volunteer support. We plan to further extend this volunteer network as need arises throughout the development of the program. Examples of potential opportunities for additional student involvement include illustration, design, and food programs. Outreach strategies include digital communication such as email and social media, presentations in classrooms and student organization meetings, and invitations to Earth Day event planning meetings.
The event's programming itself will consist of diverse representation from artistic, advocacy, and sustainability focused RSOs. These student organizations will use their platforms on campus to spread the word to their communities. Tabling and performances by social justice-focused UW and community groups, culturally and environmentally-oriented interactive art, and environmental outreach through groups like WashPIRG will provide students with a wide array of opportunities to get involved. The range of perspectives and narratives will create an empowering space for students to explore the ways that their unique expertise and passions fit into the sustainability conversation.
Student coordinators will develop relationships with participating RSOs to ensure a clear understanding of the SAN mission. These partnerships will enable RSOs to effectively integrate into the program and hold valuable conversations with event patrons. They will be able to communicate their role in the sustainability movement and connect students with the many available campus resources (ie. involvement in projects, access to funding, etc).
This team is the central coordinating body of UW SAN that will monitor the progress of the event throughout its development and execution. This team is dedicated to building an intersectional campus sustainability network and will be continually exploring strategies for plugging that network into the programming of the Earth Day event.
The SAN Executive Council is comprised of representatives from eight campus groups, dedicating its assemblage to SAN's vision, mission, and values which will subsequently guide the conception of this year's Earth Day event. Each of the council members are involved in different aspects of Earth Day, including event planning, marketing, and developing engaging exhibits with their RSOs. Throughout the planning process, the council will gather to share progress, discuss developments within the network, and brainstorm strategies for driving further student power into the event. Represented organizations currently include: EcoReps, WashPIRG, Students Association for Green Environment, UW Sustainability, Hip Hop Student Association, Net Impact, and CSF.
Responsible for most aspects of the event planning including budgeting, fundraising, production and booking.
This team is responsible for promoting the event and designing the marketing campaign. They will also design the branding of the event, so it exhibits the vision of holistic sustainability and leaves a strong and lasting impact.
Weekly meetings to check progress. Each party will prepare a weekly memo summarizing the prior weeks' developments.
Daimun Eklund to integrate with student marketing committee by providing previous marketing timelines and assets, as well as plugging Earth Day marketing materials into official UW channels.
UWS to provide guidance throughout the project.
Please see theUW Sustainability Section in Student Involvement to see the roles that we have outlined with them.
This budget would allow us to achieve all the goals we have set for this event plus a small amount more. With this budget we will be able to showcase performances and speakers on a professional stage, provide an effective space for partner organizations to exhibit their work, cover costs of visual and interactive art installations, and develop compelling marketing materials. If we do not receive enough funding to pursue this budget we have three areas where we can make cuts. These areas are: Marketing Video - if not enough funding is received, we can cut from the $1,500 video budget. This is not an essential piece of the production, but would add significant value in building excitement for the event / network and providing opportunities for artists to contribute their talents. Banners - in our budget for banners we included banners for the exhibiting tables of the event and a $1,000 reusable stage backdrop; if not enough funding is received, we can cut $1,000 for the stage backdrop Stage Production Labor Variance - we have included a labor variance in our stage production budget in case we have changes in our schedule that require increasing the labor costs of the staging and sound staff; if these changes are not required we will save the whole $400 for the labor variance. These possible reductions to our budget total $2,900, which reduces our budget of $15,200 by almost 20%. Having a budget of $15,200 and these three substantial reducible items gives us some room in the budget in case something we had not accounted for arises. If further cuts are needed, we will downsize the stage production. The current estimates are based on quotes from vendors recommended by ASUW. This price bracket is the minimum for a professional stage. Further downsizing would return the stage production to a similar scale of previous Earth Day events.
Our goal is for this event to be pursued annually as a project that successfully engages students in a unique, empowering, and inclusive environment. The project should continually be improved in its ability to provide avenues for various campus organizations to contribute and be showcased. Because it so uniquely and appropriately aligns with the university's values of sustainability and diversity, the evolution of this event should become a valuable asset to the university and the student body. This discussion of longevity involves two key aspects: future funding and administrative responsibility.
The contributing parties look to CSF's 2018 contribution to this event as a "kickstarter" to launch this new vision. SAN is working closely with UWS and CSF staff to secure funding from other sources in future years. We plan to reach out to community organizations such as Whole Foods, PCC, Skanska Construction, City Arts, the Bullitt Center, and others that are are invested in sustainability. One idea is to set a goal this year to secure enough community sponsorships to match CSF's contribution. This would provide a starting budget for the 2019 event. The student planning committee is currently developing materials to supplement this outreach.
UW Sustainability is hoping to reduce their responsibility for the Earth Day event over the coming years. As the event is based upon campus-wide collaboration, it may make sense for a range of academic departments to take on cooperative, administrative roles. With that aim, we are exploring ways for UWS to "pass the torch" through discussion with several stakeholders, including SAN, UW Sustainability, College of the Environment, the Center for Communications and Civic Engagement, and the Communications Department. These details are to be further discussed in the coming months.


Campaigners opposed to a housing development in a Staffordshire Moorlands villagers held a meeting at the weekend.
Organisers say around 50 people attended the event at Cheddleton Community Centre on Saturday afternoon (March 30).
The event was arranged by the Cheddleton Residents - Save Our Green Spaces group who are against plans for a 'residential development' on land behind Ox Pasture in the village, as well as ensuring four Local Green Spaces in Cheddleton retain their designation.
A previous proposal at the site, lodged by L&C Homes Ltd, was rejected by the Staffordshire Moorlands District Council Planning Committee in March - after hundreds of residents submitted letters of objection to the scheme.
A group spokeswoman said: "Paul Jones, Jan and Kevin Barr gave updates and thanked everyone for all their support so far.
"Almost £1,500 has been raised from supporters to be spent on independent Ecological, Heritage and Planning reports to demonstrate why the proposed housing development should be refused.
"There was unanimous opposition to the development and supporters spent time at the end of the meeting looking at campaign materials and site plans."
Cheddleton Parish Council have lodged a formal objection to the proposed development.
Their objection to the District Council states: "It would remove a welcome green space and affect the heritage of the village. Also, loss of wildlife with some rare species in habitat locally.
"Access is not viable as the gully has a huge footfall and the current infrastructure can not support additional residents, cars, schools etc."
A heritage statement submitted by developers said it was felt the scheme would not harm Cheddleton's historic centre.
It added: "I consider that from the high ground at the southern edge of the development site, the height of the development would still retain views of the church tower and that with permeability views of the church tower could be gained from this footpath and from within the development itself.
"These, in my opinion, would preserve its significance and its setting with no harm."
The planning application is only outline, with no further details to be considered at this stage.
A public consultation on the new plan is ongoing until April 17.

Halloween is just about here, but that doesn't mean you have to wait a couple of weeks to go ghost hunting. You can plant a perfect vacation and head to Hawaii to spend your Halloween surrounded with ghosts.
But, before you go on such a journey, you have to get some essentials that will facilitate the search. We have picked up a couple of gadgets that will help you with your ghost hunting.
People who had a close encounter with ghost always claim they have to feel the coldness in their presence. Having a thermometer around can help you provide some empirical evidence to back up your claims. You can measure temperature anywhere you go, and since it is small and handy, you can put it in the back of your pocket. The price is near $80.
This tool is quite popular among ghost hunters. The majority of them believe that ghost emit an electromagnetic field. But, how do they know this? The hunters who are equipped with an EMF meter frequently report a rise in levels when they believe then they have seen a ghost.
On the other hand, many experts state that electromagnetic filed can cause hallucinations. Whatever the case, if you want to explore this option further, then you should get an EFM meter. It doesn't only measure EFM waves, but also radio and microwaves. The average price for such a device is around $130.
Gathering the sensor activity is imperative among ghost hunters. People aren't going to believe in secondary readings and personal accounts without more evidence. Parabolic Microphone records the audio of the environment and provides with substantial evidence because it's ultra-sensitive.
When you are in a paranormal hot zone, a lot of strange things can happen, and you'll want to record everything. The only drawback this device has is the price. It goes above $1,000. We only recommend this device for advance ghost hunters because no one said becoming a legend would be cheap.
EVP is a term that usually comes up among ghost hunters. The general idea around EVP is that voices are transmitted through electronic bits and radio frequencies. Paranormal enthusiasts believe that ghost, who also emit electromagnetic waves, can communicate through these means.
This is one of the reasons why some fanatics began carrying AM radios with an idea to communicate with the ghost. If you are one of them, then the price for this device is around $80.
You can hardly notice ghosts with the naked eye. On the other hand, ghosts are more visible in the infrared and ultraviolet light spectrum. In this case, you should buy a 1080p camera which is capable capture both of these frequencies, and you won't kick yourself for missing your grand photo.
Nowadays, you can find a variety of cameras offering similar features and price can depend on the features you plan to get. If you want to get a 1080p camera, then you will have to pay around $260.

Vehicle-to-vehicle communications moved one step closer to reality this week with the Obama administration's plans to push the technology forward. The February 3rd announcement outlines a set of proposed rules would be announced for comment by the time this administration departs in 2017, with hopes that sometime around 2020, cars will communicate with each other and alert drivers to roadside hazards ahead. What happened this week was a plan by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to have a plan.
Simply put, the first generation of V2V systems would warn the driver but not take control of the car. Later implementations would improve to brake or steer around obstacles and eventually merge with self-driving cars. Here's our rundown of V2V technologies and some of the implications…
What is V2V?
Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications comprises a wireless network where automobiles send messages to each other with information about what they're doing. This data would include speed, location, direction of travel, braking, and loss of stability. Vehicle-to-vehicle technology uses dedicated short-range communications (DSRC), a standard set forth by bodies like FCC and ISO. Sometimes it's described as being a WiFi network because one of the possible frequencies is 5.9GHz, which is used by WiFi, but it's more accurate to say "WiFi-like." The range is up to 300 meters or 1000 feet or about 10 seconds at highway speeds (not 3 seconds as some reports say).
V2V would be a mesh network, meaning every node (car, smart traffic signal, etc.) could send, capture and retransmit signals. Five to 10 hops on the network would gather traffic conditions a mile ahead. That's enough time for even the most distracted driver to take his foot off the gas.
On the first cars, V2V warnings might come to the driver as an alert, perhaps a red light that flashes in the instrument panel, or an amber then red alert for escalating problems. It might indicate the direction of the threat. All that is fluid for now since V2V is still a concept with several thousand working prototypes or retrofitted test cars. Most of the prototypes have advanced to stage where the cars brake and sometimes steer around hazards. Why? It's more exciting for a legislator or journalist to see a car that stops or swerves, not one with a flashing lamp.
Traffic signals or other stationary devices are called V2I, or vehicle to infrastructure. Often they're just rolled into the V2V umbrella to avoid too many TLAs (three-letter acronyms). Some automakers have their own terms for V2V such as Car-to-X, which encompasses other vehicles and the infrastructure. There's also a push for the term "internet of cars" playing off "internet of things" as well as the broader term "connected car" which covers telematics as well and the popular-press term "talking car." V2V seems to be the phrase that's winning out.

GetHuman1891677's next move: call LinkedIn.
The email my linked in account was originally saved under (*****@***.com) was hacked. I no longer have access to that email and would like to just transfer my linked in account and save it under my new email (*****@***.com). Every time I follow the steps online that are supposed to allow me to change this, I receive an email that says "click here to update your password" and then it sends me to a site where I put my new email and says it will send me a link and I don*t get one. I've been trying different passwords that I always use and waiting for this second email I'm supposed to get for over two hours now with no luck. I'm assuming my linked in account was also hacked after my email was because my instagram and facebook were also. I need to have all of my information saved under my new email of *****@***.com and access from the *****@***.com email restricted asap as this is the only site that I have all of my work history and personal info saved to and need it to apply for jobs. I can't just create a whole new account knowing that someone has access to my current account that shouldn't.
GetHuman1891677 did not yet indicate what LinkedIn should do to make this right.

Australian businesses believe the economy will look a whole lot better by the end of 2017
Business Insider Australia
Australian businesses confidence is booming in mid-2017.
According to the latest Dun & Bradstreet Business Expectations Survey, firms expect sales, profits, employment, investment and selling prices to rise in the December quarter of this year, fuelled by an improvement in operating conditions seen in recent months.
"Business expectations across the key aspects of the economic outlook have bounced back solidly, pointing to a lift in economic activity into the latter part of 2017," said Stephen Koukoulas, Dunn & Bradstreet economic advisor following the release of the July report.
"Also encouraging was a rise in the actual performance of the economy in the June quarter, a result that bodes well for the official GDP figures which are released in early September."
This chart from the survey shows the improvement in both expectations and actual operating conditions during the June quarter of this year.
Koukoulas said the expectations reading was particularly impressive, rising to 19.4 points, more than doubling the 9.5 point average seen over the past decade.
Fitting with the improvement in both readings, expectations for sales, profits, employment growth and business investment all rose solidly in the latest survey.
That combination bodes well on the outlook for Australian economic growth, says Koukoulas, noting that the uptick in employment expectations, if sustained, will support incomes and therefore household spending.
However, as is the case for households, Koukoulas says there's one major threat emerging that could snuff out the recovery in business conditions just as it's gaining momentum: higher energy costs.
"The surging cost of utilities is of increasing concern, with Australian businesses now identifying 'utilities and operational costs' as the biggest barrier to business growth," he says.
"Some 17.4% of all businesses identified this as their biggest barrier in the July survey."
Higher energy costs could deliver a double-whammy to Australian businesses, increasing both operating costs and hindering the ability of households to lift consumption levels as income for discretionary spending is directed towards non-discretionary areas such as energy bills.
That's something that will need to be watched closely, particularly in the final quarter of this year as energy bills for the September quarter hit the inboxes and mailboxes of Australian households.

Countless people spend their time traveling to both local hotspots and faraway places. No matter the destination, the trip can prove quite taxing on the body if certain precautions are not taken. Too many tourists ignore pain while they're on vacation and say they'll worry about it once they return. Doing so can cause more harm than good to the body, as it could develop into a worse problem if left unhandled.
If a person sits for a long period and realizes their back is aching, ignoring the feeling won't make it go away. Although many people are told while growing up to simply walk off their injuries and put them out of their minds, this is the last thing someone should be doing. Taking a look at the root of the problem right away and assessing the situation is the only way to expose possible underlying conditions. The pain may not be due to simply sitting for too long. Someone may have a herniated disk, weakened spine, or other issue that causes the pain to come out during certain situations, such as traveling.
Some travelers don't exactly ignore their pain. Instead, they start taking pain pills regularly to help alleviate. The body can build up a tolerance to these medications if they get used too much, rendering them useless when truly needed. It is always best to get the issue looked at and resolved rather than covering it up with a pill that eases the feelings yet doesn't make the problem go away entirely.
Pain has a way of bringing about other issues. One ache in the body can turn into several if left untreated as it helps other health problems to arise. A person who feels regular pains in their back and neck may not be getting out to do as much sightseeing on their trip. They may stay in bed, leading to fatigue and muscle weakness. These problems can then cause further damage themselves. It is best to treat the initial cause of pain so no other health issues come about later on down the line.
Traveling tends to bring on numerous pains for many people. Whether someone has a backache from sitting too long or their legs feel achy and stiff after a long day of sightseeing, the pain should never get ignored. Visit a chiropractor where you can get an assessment. With more than 380 locations nationwide, anyone with a package from The Joint Chiropractic can drop into a convenient location, even if it's on the opposite coast. After returning home, it is also important to visit The Joint Chiropractic to have your regular doctor give you a second assessment. He can help manage any aches and complaints felt from throughout the trip and help get people ready for their lives back at home.
To learn more about your health and wellness, see your local chiropractor at The Joint Chiropractic in Cary, N.C.

WATCH: Hurricane Fiona generates 50-foot waves in Atlantic Ocean
The dramatic video was captured by an unmanned drone designed to monitor ocean conditions during hurricane season.
Author: Chris McCrory
Published: 11:37 AM CDT September 23, 2022
Updated: 11:37 AM CDT September 23, 2022
WASHINGTON — Hurricane Fiona brought waves of at least 50 feet with it as it made its way toward Bermuda and Canada this week.
An unmanned sailboat in the Atlantic Ocean captured video from directly inside the storm, showing giant waves crashing as the Category 4 hurricane made its way overhead.
The boat, developed by Saildrone Inc., is specifically designed to report on the severe weather caused by a hurricane. The company worked with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration — the U.S. agency in charge of tracking hurricanes — to develop seven specialized "saildrones" that have been operating in the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico during the 2022 hurricane season.
The Saildrone Explorer SD 1078, which captured the video on Thursday, was specifically directed to sail into the hurricane, where it recorded 50-foot waves and 100 mph winds.
The video was recorded just before Fiona made landfall in Bermuda. The saildrone, programmed to move just faster than 9 mph, reached a peak speed of 39.7 mph while surfing down one of the massive waves, according to the company's press release.
Although it's the first time video of this kind has been released from inside Fiona, the storm actually passed over three other saildrones on its path across the Atlantic.
The video can be seen here:
The drones are designed to gather and transmit data about oceanic conditions to climate scientists and meteorologists back on shore. As such, they are often sent into the path of storms and tropical developments to monitor them.
"The data Saildrone vehicles are gathering will help the science community better understand rapid intensification, giving people living in our coastal communities more time to prepare," said Richard Jenkins, the founder and CEO of Saildrone, in a statement.
The drones are part of a larger effort by NOAA to understand why storms rapidly intensify, and why hurricane seasons are becoming more destructive. That effort includes underwater gliders, drifters skimming the surface and aerial craft above.
"These exciting emerging technologies provide NOAA with another valuable tool that can collect data in places we can't get to with other observing systems," said Capt. Philip Hall, director of NOAA's Uncrewed Systems Operations Center, which is providing funding for the Saildrone effort.
While the season has largely been quiet for the eastern seaboard, Fiona has brought Cat 3 and Cat 4-level devastation to several islands in the Caribbean, including the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. It was the first Cat 4 storm to form in the Atlantic this season.
By Friday, it is expected to pass up the U.S. East Coast to hit the Canadian province of Nova Scotia as a Cat 3 storm.

About Ruskin Spear CBE RA (1911-1990)
An English painter of portraits and the picaresque, Spear was born in Hammersmith and remained there living and painting for most of his life. He studied at the Hammersmith School of Art and later at the Royal College of Art under Sir William Rothenstein from 1931 to 1934. He executed commissions for the War Artists' Advisory Committee and took part in the 'Recording Britain' scheme sponsored by the Pilgrim Trust throughout the Second War. He was visiting teacher at the Central School of Art from 1945 to 1948 and at the Royal College of Art from 1948 until his death. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1932 and was elected full member in 1954. He was elected to the London Group in 1942, serving as President from 1949 to 1950. Public collections include the Tate Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, Imperial War Museum and the Royal Academy of Arts.
A retrospective of Spear's work was held at the Royal Academy in 1980.

Portrait of the Artist's Wife
Spear has long been an artist beyond my pocket, a Modern British painter who has a loyal and determined fan base amongst collectors and dealers alike. I was delighted to find these two portraits tucked away in a country saleroom during the first lockdown for something of a steal. Both paintings portray Claire Stafford and therein lies a story. Spear had a long and presumably happy marriage to Mary who he remained with all his life. However in the mid-1950s he met the 16 year old Claire while she was working as an artists model. They began a long affair, including a daughter that Mary seems to have brought up as her own. What complicated lives people lead. Anyway Claire seems to have flourished, ending up as the Keep of Tigers at London Zoo.

Q: How to prevent displaying sub and overscript as plain strings in .wl files? Problem:
String with subscripts and overscripts are formatted as plain text after saving, closing, and reopening the document. It makes it hard to edit function usage because text become unreadable if there are multiple symbols like that.
I'm working on a package that's in .wl format.
Example:
Create a function usage string:

Save the document, close it, then reopen. The string now looks like this:

Is it possible not to change the display formatting after reopening the document? (I understand that the purpose of this behaviour is to be able to edit the documents in any text editor.)

This section has just a few notes on what I am expecting for your paper presentations.
You will have 30 to 40 minutes to present your paper. Aim to fall within this timeframe including discussion and questions (which you should encourage). Thirty to forty minutes is a lot of time. It is significantly more time than the authors had to present their papers at whatever conference they may have appeared. You have time to develop some amount of technical detail. However, you probably cannot cover all of the detail in the paper, so you have to make some careful choices about what to talk about and what not to talk about. If you are unsure about how much detail you can hope to cover, first devise a tentative plan and then come talk to me.
I expect your talk to go generally like this. Depending on the topic of the paper, the approach of the authors, and your own personal style, you will probably have to adapt my guideline below. In particular, I've put some possible timing information just as a rough guideline, but this will vary a lot from paper to paper and presentation to presentation.
(2 minutes) Where did this paper come from? Where was it presented, who are the authors, what inspired you to have a look at this paper?
(2 minutes) What is the overall big picture motivation of the authors? What seems to be driving them to pursue this research?
(1 minute) What did they actually achieve? You can show part of the video here to give people some idea of what to expect.
(5 minutes) Now, you can give some background. This will come from the paper's related work section. Probably a whole lot of other people have tackled this problem. If you'd like, you can briefly show some of previous work. Then, try to state the precise contribution of this paper beyond previous work in your own words. If it is a really top quality paper, the authors will have made this easy for you.
(5 minutes) Now we are heading into the core part of the paper. You can start by giving the problem definition very precisely. Think inputs, outputs, system overview diagram, whatever will help us understand the exact way in which the authors think about this problem.
(10 minutes) Now that we understand the problem statement, tell us how they solved it. Try to do this in a top-down way, focusing on the most interesting and important parts and only introducing detail as necessary. Use lots of pictures and diagrams here.
(5 minutes) Onto the results. How did the authors validate their approach? Did they compare against alternatives? Did they simply show videos? Did they test for statistical significance? Did they compare against the real world? Show the key outcomes of the algorithm or study. You may want to segment up their video and/or separate out their results figures into subsections to help you better present it, or you may find it works ok to show everything at once.
(5 minutes) Now discuss. The authors will have their own discussion points, but make this section your own. Did the authors achieve what they originally set out to do? If you could summarize this paper in just a few words, what would they be? What is good and bad about the approach? What questions were raised in your mind? What limitations did you see, and what opportunities for future work?
Make sure you invite questions, not just now at the end, but along the way as well.
Another simulator that we have been using recently is Bullet.
There are a number of other academic based simulation engines you can play with, including RTQL8 developed by Karen Liu's team at Georgia Tech, MuJoCo, developed by Emanuel Todorov's group at the University of Washington, and Klamp't, develped by Kris Hauser at Indiana University. More are showing up all the time, so you may find yet another system that looks promising!
The software tools on the CMU website may be useful for viewing motion capture data and making kinematic edits, but do not have an integrated physics engine. Doing so would be a substantial project.

Being an all female team at Pretty Hype, we have to show love to Female DJ OHSO and her dope remix to The Weeknd's song "High For This". Hailing from Miami, Florida she mixes Drake's hit I'm On One with High For This in a perfect head-nodding, psychedelic form that improves 2 already hot songs. This is Pretty Hype Still!


Drat cars and everything to do with them!!
Would you lot believe that I'm still searching for a vehicle? I still can't decide between a Ford Ranger or a (this is new at least) 2008 Honda Fit. The Fit is cheaper, and only has 35,000 miles, but everytime that I think I've made up my mind it flips over on me. I am paralyzed by indecision!
And in the meantime the good ones keep getting snatched off of the market. I think I'll flip a coin.
Heads for the truck, tails for the hatchback.
OK done. It came up tails.
I'm going to go email the person now, even if they are in Sacramento which is THREE HOURS AWAY!!!!11$$#!!@!@!@!^$%#^^*$^%@^!%!!#!$#!@!
the best thing to do is ask yourself 'does this feel right'? when you sit in it do you like it? does it make you want to drive it? if the answer is yes, its probably the right decision, if you don't like the thought of spending time in it, don't buy it. use The Force Obi Wan. or your gut instinct. whatevs.
I'd go with the hatchback unless you think you'll need the truck for work or intense hobbies, but that's just me.
On a more general automobile agony note, I just had to drop almost $500 on my 2005 Ford Focus because the left front wheel bearing had almost fallen off, which is apparently a common issue with Focuses based on the knowing nods I've been getting when mentioning this IRL.
A 2008 vehicle with only 35000 miles?
Gosh darn Eldo ya fool! Everyone knows you have to pre-emptively replace the front left wheel bearing before 5 years of its manufacture date on them there Focuses!
Get yer head out of the sand boy!
As for the low mileage, yeah, I know.
But that's just the way it is, so if the car has been kept up I'm not going to worry about it.
Once you have a real repair to make, $500 will feel like chump change. I know it doesn't feel like it now (especially for a %$@!! wheel bearing) but it's only a matter of time.

Do you deal exclusively in expensive European sport vehicles?
Otherwise if a car has a repair that will make $500 feel like chump change, then you should just go get a new car!
I would get a Toyota Hilux.
They have Toyota Tacomas over here instead Figgs. The problem with them is that they hold their value so well that I would need to go back many years to find one in my price range...that and my brother-in-law drives one. I refuse to be like my brother-in-law in this respect!
Nationally the average cost to replace a clutch is currently $1100, and that's normal wear and tear. If you have to replace an automatic transmission or do a head job, you are looking well upwards of $2000.
No ... I'll keep that in mind though.

Ah. Yeah I was thinking of transmission replacement. I wouldn't call $500 chump change in comparison, so this is really more a matter of vocabulary!
what about a Hyundai Sante Fe or Tucson, or Honda CR-V?
Forest Shepherd wrote: I wouldn't call $500 chump change in comparison, so this is really more a matter of vocabulary!
If you expected to pay $20-25 for dinner, and end up paying only $5, you hand it over pretty flippantly.
But if the fee for using the ski lift for the day was 50 dollars, you wouldn't think nothing of it just because hiring someone to carry you up the mountain cost $400!
Actually, I think you would. People tend to think of good deals in terms of percentages, rather than actual dollars.
But if something cost them, say, a week's wages. It would still cost a week's wages, no matter if something else were to cost a month's wages.
If someone were to say that you only had to chop off one finger, instead of all five, you'd jump at the opportunity for keeping four fingers, but you wouldn't think it was no big deal!
But that's what credit cards are for....to make you think it's no big deal.
I've yet to find a car. But I might lose my job if I can't get one soon, so I've decided to blow off any objections or complaints, and go look at a 2009 Honda Fit (sport, not base model). It's from a dealership, so they're asking $8,999.
that's a nice looking car. and its got good reviews. result.
The extra couple thousand you pay to a dealership is usually made up by the repairs they made beforehand, rather than letting you discover and pay for it out of your own pocket if you buy from someone else. Often a fair trade.
Yeah, my dad works for a dealership, so I'm kind of biased, but I think I'd be pretty wary about buying a car anywhere else. There's the plus of financing right there so you don't have to go to the bank, and you can purchase an after-market warranty if you want to.
Thanks guys, that makes me feel better about spending nearly $10,000 when all is said and done.

WWE Sucks …And Here's 10 Reasons Why
Once upon a time the WWE kept me glued to my television screen. Missing an episode of Raw was considered a heinous crime. In 1999 I skipped my grade school graduation ceremony to attend a house show.
Nowadays, I can stomach about two minutes of the WWE before I am bored out of my mind or literally embarrassed. Is it terrible booking or did I simply outgrow it? Here's 10 reasons why I think modern WWE sucks.
10. WWE Sucks Because of Over-Saturation
I'm old enough to remember when Raw was one hour. Early in '97 when they shifted to two hours, it was a game changer… and even with an entire two hours, they still managed to leave you hanging at the end. I remember the wait for Raw every week was agonizing… you couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next.
Now Raw is three hours and there's an additional two hours of programming the following night on SmackDown. And there's so many Pay Per Views that I feel like they're happening every 3-4 weeks… oh that's right, because they are. It's too much wrestling. NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL playoffs are exciting because they happen over the course of a few weeks, once a year.
The WWE sucks because there's not enough wait-time to build compelling storylines.
9. WWE Sucks Because It's Too Glossy
WWE reminds me of those annoying, insecure attention whores who constantly need to talk about how successful they are. The company is constantly plugging their social media numbers, and trying to cross over into celebrity culture. It comes off like they desperately want the mainstream appeal of the NFL or MLB… except it's dudes fake fighting so it will never truly be a "cool thing" to like. And that's okay, just fucking embrace it.
The WWE sucks because it's desperately trying to cling to celeb hype, social media buzz, and mainstream appeal rather than embracing itself for the wackiness that it really is.
8. WWE Sucks Because of Cringe-Worthy / Overly Scripted Promos
Every time I try to watch modern WWE, I last about 2-3 minutes before I'm checking my email on my phone or scrolling through my Instagram feed. Part of this is the god awful, cringe-worthy promos. It's well documented that modern WWE superstars are given a very short leash as far as creative freedom on the mic – and it completely neuters the promo. Modern promos are rarely convincing and usually completely counterproductive – instead of suspending my disbelief while watching, I find myself thinking "holy shit, what terrible acting." It's basically the exact opposite of how promos use to be:
Part of this is surely to blame on the WWE front office having a short leash, but at the same time, grow a pair of balls and get yourself over. Look at The Rock and Stone Cold – if these guys were reading from a script they never would have soared to the heights they reached. Now one of them is a bonafide movie star and the other is looked at as a guy who single handedly saved the WWE from going out of business.
The WWE sucks because I'm no longer lost in the spectacle when I watch – unlike a great film, WWE promos remind me that what I'm watching is not real.
7. WWE Sucks Because There's Too Many Matches / Not Enough Story Telling
Yeah, yeah, I get it, it's "wrestling" so I'm an idiot for not appreciating the amount of matches that now take place, and the high level of talent that exists in the WWE today. I'm probably in the minority here, but the thing that always drew me to wrestling was never really about the actual wrestling. It was the story telling. It was the drama. It was not knowing what's going to happen next…
And I'm not just talking about the Attitude-era, look back to the mid 90s with the Bret/Owen brother versus brother feud… or go back to the 80s when the Mega Powers were exploding due to a true to life maniac Randy Savage suspecting that his tag partner was getting a bit too comfortable with his girl. Or when Jake the Snake was putting an actual fucking cobra on his opponents!
Compelling drama at it's finest
The WWE sucks because the male soap opera factor is no longer present. Why watch dudes pretend fighting in their underwear, when I could watch them actually fight in UFC?
6. WWE Sucks Because the Undercard is Meaningless and the Booking is Boring
The 80s and some of the 90s were a special time for the WWF because, with some exceptions, the entire roster mattered. Meaningful feuds weren't limited to the upper carders. Going back to the 80s, look at guys like Rick Rude and Jake the Snake – they were never main eventers but we still look back on their careers with great fondness – their characters were over, and they were involved in memorable storylines. Today's WWE roster seems like a few main event guys, and a bunch of other guys that don't really matter.
Is it lack of talent? Is it bad booking? I tend to lean toward the latter.
The WWE sucks because the undercard is given little opportunity to shine.
5. WWE Sucks Because of Terrible Commentators
It's difficult to imagine the Attitude era without J.R. and King at the helm. Or the mid to late 80s programming without Gorilla, Bobby Heenan, and Jesse Ventura. They were selling the in ring product, not network subscriptions. Live commentary is such a crucial part of the action and when done properly will get the viewer even more emotionally invested in what they're watching.
Every time I hear Michael Cole phone-in Roman Reigns as "The Big Dog!!" I puke in my mouth a little. It's so laughably scripted and uninspired it completely takes me out of the action. This isn't entirely the fault of the commentary crew – let us not forget about that leaked memo back in 2015 – if you haven't looked at this, I promise it's a doozy. Spoiler: Vince McMahon doesn't want the commentators to say "pro wrestling".
The WWE sucks because the live commentary is awful and does nothing to excite the viewer.
Commentators who knew how to sell the action, not network subscriptions
4. WWE Sucks Because There's No God Damn Competition
Back in the territory days, and especially more prevalently in the 90s, Vince McMahon hadn't yet nailed down a monopoly stranglehold on the competition. Healthy competition meant that there was a reason to try new things and push boundaries, especially during the Monday Night Wars when WWF and WCW were competing for ratings / marketshare.
The WWE sucks because they're the only game in town i.e. with no competition the writing and storylines come across as uninspired, routine, boring, lifeless, insert any other appropriate adjective here.
3. WWE Sucks Because the Crowd is Dead
Aside from the occasional pops for big moments, the audience seems bored… I can't really blame them when the product is dull and boring the majority of the time, but man, it's sad to watch. I remember as kids my brother and I would sneak down toward the aisle at house shows and desperately try to high five the stars as they came down the aisle. You just don't see this anymore.
Maybe the crowd has grown up? Maybe I'm just a dork who notices.
The WWE sucks because 90% of the time the rowdiness of the crowd is non-existent.
2. WWE Sucks Because Modern WWE Fans Are Morons
Okay that is harsh (and isn't necessarily the fault of the WWE), but white-trash, tribal tat, Mountain Dew-drinking stereotypes aside, I can't even fathom how a group like The New Day got so over… dudes dressed like unicorns with awful promos – that's what we're getting excited about?
I am definitely not a proponent of wrestling needing to be taken too seriously, but this shit is straight up embarrassing. Almost as bad as indie wrestler Joey Ryan and his "dick spot"… almost. Okay not even close. Perhaps the shift to the PG-era means the writing is on the wall and this is a kids product and not something a functioning adult should be watching, let alone critiquing.
The WWE sucks because the fans cheer for terrible segments.
1. Maybe the WWE Doesn't Suck and I Simply Grew Up?
Okay lets be fair for a minute. Maybe "it's not you it's me" needs to be applied with my (lack of) relationship with modern wrestling. I was a huge fan during the Attitude era, but as I got into high school in the early 00s, wrestling just sort of wore off for me. I can't pinpoint an exact moment, the only thing I can attribute it to is getting older and caring more about things like pro football and girls.
So maybe it's not the product that let me down, maybe I just moved on? Maybe saying the WWE sucks isn't fair? Yet why am I blogging about wrestling? Why do I pay as much for the WWE Network as I do Netflix every single month? I guess Vinnie Mac is getting the last laugh because even though I can't watch more than five minutes of modern wrestling, the nostalgia factor is very real.
How do you feel about the current WWE product? Am I simply too old and cranky to appreciate it? Sound off in the comments section below.

Capital sharp s (ẞ) is the majuscule of eszett. Sharp s is unique among the letters of the Latin alphabet in that it has no traditional upper case form. This is because it never occurs word-initially in German text, and traditional German printing (which used blackletter) never used all-caps. When using all-caps, traditional spelling rules required the replacement of ß with SS. However, in 2010, the use of the capital ẞ became mandatory in official documentation in Germany when writing geographical names in all-caps.
There have been repeated attempts to introduce a majuscule ß. Such letterforms can be found in some old German books dating back to the late 19th century and some later signage and product design. One of the best known examples is the East German 1957 Duden.
Inclusion in Universal Character Set
A proposal by Andreas Stötzner to the Unicode Consortium for the inclusion of capital double s in the Universal Character Set was rejected in 2004, on the basis that capital ß is a typographical issue, and therefore not suitable for character encoding. A reworked version of Stötzner's proposal was submitted on 25 April 2007 by DIN. The proposal suggested the Unicode name LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S. The proposal has been adopted and the character was added as Unicode character "ẞ" U+1E9E LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S when Unicode 5.1 was released, on 4 April 2008.

Capital is a type of good that can be consumed now, but if consumption is deferred, an increased supply of consumable goods is likely to be available later. Adam Smith defines capital as "That part of a man's stock which he expects to afford him revenue is called his capital." Capital is derived from the Latin word "caput" meaning head, as in "head of cattle". The term "stock" is derived from the Old English word for stump or tree trunk, i.e. something that grows over time. It has been used to refer to all the moveable property of a farm since at least 1510. In Middle Ages France contracted leases and loans bearing interest specified payment in heads of cattle.
In economics, capital goods, real capital, or capital assets are already-produced durable goods or any non-financial asset that is used in production of goods or services.
How a capital good is maintained or returned to its pre-production state varies with the type of capital involved. In most cases capital is replaced after a depreciation period as newer forms of capital make continued use of current capital non profitable. It is also possible that advances make an obsolete form of capital practical again.

Hyderābād State pronunciation was an Indian princely state located in the south-central region of India, and was ruled, from 1724 until 1948, by a hereditary Nizam. The capital city was Hyderabad.
The Asaf Jahi Dynasty was a dynasty of Turkic origin from the region around Samarkand in modern-day Uzbekistan, who came to India in the late 17th century, and became employees of the Mughal Empire. The region became part of the Mughal Empire in the 1680s. When the empire began to weaken in the 18th century, Asif Jah defeated a rival Mughal governor's attempt to seize control of the empire's southern provinces, declaring himself Nizam-al-Mulk of Hyderabad in 1724. The Mughal emperor, under renewed attack from the Marathas, was unable to prevent it. Following the decline of the Mughal power, India saw the rise of Maratha Empire, Nizam himself saw many invasions by the Marathas. Some of the major battles fought between Marathas and Nizam include the Battle of Rakshasbhuvan, the Battle of Palkhed and the Battle of Kharda, all of which resulted in Maratha victory and suzerainty over the territory of Nizam and collection of tributary by the Marathas.
