Remember if you do anti-paedophilia activism, the pedo trolls / kiwifarms Garry Burns affiliated stalker scum bastement dwellers will come for you.
To see what is going on in Australia right now, regarding free speech and it's links to paedophilia rights activists, please do check out: https://8ch.net/pol/res/11727608.html

Please read this and petition TED to stop saying paedophilia is a sexual orientation as it's getting people fired from their jobs, or blocked from Opensource development projects and is giving power to Satanic SJW OTO child sex normalization activists getting paid $240k a year from github, just bought by M$
A week ago TEDx Talks YouTube channel uploaded a talk where a woman tried explaining that "pedophilia is a natural sexual orientation, just like heterosexuality". The video went viral and got thousands of thumbs down, and the comment section was full of people demanding blood.
TEDx Talks then deleted the video, trying to quietly sweep it under the rug. After they did that, a video mirror was uploaded and the video had almost 15k views in under 24 hours. It had gone viral and outrage was spreading all across the Internet. It was waking normies up hard. The fire was rising, fast.
Youtube just completely deleted the video at the request of TED.com representatives. Here are their emails (why don't you shoot them an email and ask them why they are promoting pedophilia as a "natural sexual orientation"?):
TED Talks are all licensed under the Creative Commons license, which means it is not a copyright violation to reupload and share them, which many youtube channels regularly do. This is a clear indication of censorship and an attempt to scrub this pro-pedophilia TEDx Talk under the rug. It's time to unleash the Streisand Effect and let the world know that TED is helping push a pedophile normalization agenda that includes reclassifying pedophilia as a "natural sexual orientation".
We are holding TED's feet to the fire on this one. They realized they pushed too hard and too soon with their pedophile agenda and that the backlash was radicalizing normies. We are going to force TED to either officially disavow the video (rather than just quietly sweeping it under the rug), or force them to reinstate the video. We aren't going to let them just pretend this never happened.

Ground Water Monitoring Requirements for Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facilities
The groundwater monitoring requirements for hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities (TSDFs) are just one aspect of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste management strategy for protecting human health and the environment from accidental releases of hazardous constituents. While land disposal restrictions and unit specific standards seek to reduce the toxicity of waste and prevent releases, respectively, the groundwater monitoring requirements represent the last line of defense by ensuring that any releases are detected and remediated in a timely manner.
TSDFs that manage hazardous waste in landfills, surface impoundments, land treatment units and some waste piles (referred to as “regulated units” in the regulations) are required to implement a groundwater monitoring program to detect the release of hazardous constituents to the underlying groundwater. The regulations for permitted facilities are found at Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 264, subpart F – Releases from Solid Waste Management Units, and the interim status regulations for facilities in operation before these rules came into effect are found at 40 CFR part 265, subpart F – Groundwater Monitoring.
The requirements for permitted and interim status TSDFs differ significantly. The major differences being:
- Interim status waste piles are not subject to the groundwater monitoring requirements.
- There are no corrective action requirements under the interim status set of regulations.
Even with these differences, the overall goal of these requirements is the same: protect the groundwater in the uppermost aquifer from contamination by the hazardous constituents managed at the TSDF.
On this page:
- Permitted Facilities
- Detection Monitoring
- Compliance Monitoring
- Corrective Action
- Interim Status Facilities
- Groundwater Monitoring Resources
For permitted TSDFs, a groundwater monitoring program consists of three phases: detection monitoring (40 CFR section 264.98), compliance monitoring (40 CFR section 264.99), and corrective action (40 CFR section 264.100). The phases are sequential with a facility able to move back and forth between phases as certain criteria are met. The regulations establish performance standards that require each facility’s groundwater monitoring program to have a sufficient number of wells installed at the appropriate locations. The regulations also require groundwater monitoring wells to be located at depths that can yield representative samples of background conditions and water quality at the point of compliance in the uppermost aquifer (defined as the geological formation nearest the natural surface that is capable of yielding significant quantities of groundwater to wells or springs).
To meet these standards, each facility must design, install and operate a groundwater monitoring program based on the site’s specific geology and hydrology. The program must also address the type of waste management unit and the characteristics of the waste being managed. The monitoring wells must be appropriately designed and installed, as well as have consistent sampling and analytical procedures in place to ensure accurate and representative samples are taken.
The specific sampling requirements and procedures (including frequency of sampling) are specified in the facility’s hazardous waste permit. Typically, these requirements are included in a sampling and analysis plan. All data collected as part of a facility’s groundwater monitoring program must be maintained in the facility’s operating record.
Detection monitoring is phase one of the groundwater monitoring program. Under this phase, facilities are monitoring to detect and characterize any releases of hazardous constituents into the uppermost aquifer. Samples are taken from the monitoring wells and analyzed for specific indicator parameters and any other waste constituents or reaction products that indicate that a release might have occurred. The EPA Regional Administrator designates in the facility’s permit the specific constituents and parameters to be monitored and establishes the frequency of sampling. At a minimum, four samples must be taken from each well semi-annually.
Samples taken from the point of compliance (i.e., the wells down-gradient of the waste management unit) are compared to the background samples taken from the up-gradient well(s). These samples are analyzed to determine if a statistically significant increase (SSI) in the levels of any of the monitored constituents has occurred. When analyzing the samples, facility owner/operators may use one of the following five methods:
- Parametric analysis of variance.
- Nonparametric analysis of variance based on ranks.
- Tolerance or prediction interval procedure.
- A control chart approach.
- Another statistical test method approved by the EPA Regional Administrator.
Unless the owner/operator can demonstrate that detected SSI is due to a sampling, analysis or statistical analysis error or natural variation in the groundwater chemistry, the facility must switch to a compliance monitoring program. If unable to make this demonstration, the owner/operators must:
- Notify the EPA Regional Administrator of the SSI within seven days.
- Immediately sample all wells for 40 CFR part 264 Appendix IX constituents.
- Determine which 40 CFR part 264 Appendix IX constituents are present and at what levels.
- Submit a permit modification application within 90 days to begin a compliance monitoring program.
- Submit an engineering feasibility plan for a corrective action program within 180 days.
The purpose of a compliance monitoring program is to ascertain whether the constituents released to the uppermost aquifer are exceeding acceptable concentration levels and threatening human health and the environment. The first step in this process is establishing a groundwater protection standard (GWPS). As stated above, a facility must submit a permit modification application to switch from detection monitoring to compliance monitoring when an SSI is detected. As part of this modified permit, the EPA Regional Administrator specifies the GWPS for the facility. The GWPS establishes:
- The list of hazardous constituents for which to monitor (from Part 261, Appendix VIII).
- The concentration limits for each of the listed constituents based either on background levels, Clean Water Act Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs), or alternate concentration levels (ACLs) determined by the EPA Regional Administrator.
- The point of compliance, which is the vertical surface at which the facility must monitor the uppermost aquifer to determine if the GWPS is being exceeded.
- The compliance period during which the GWPS applies and compliance monitoring must be continued.
During compliance monitoring, samples are taken at each well located at the point of compliance (four samples from each well) and compared to the GWPS. The frequency of sampling is determined by the EPA Regional Administrator and specified in the modified facility permit. At a minimum, samples must be taken at least semi-annually. The facility must also analyze samples for part 264 Appendix IX constituents at least annually. If any new constituents are found to have an SSI then they must also be added to the GWPS list of constituents.
If the level of any of the constituents exceed the GWPS, the owner/operators must notify the EPA Regional Administrator in writing within seven days. The owner/operators also must submit a permit modification application to establish a corrective action program. Compliance monitoring must be continued during this period.
Once an exceedance of the GWPS has been detected, the facility must take action to bring the constituent concentration levels back into compliance with the GWPS. To achieve this, the owner/operator must either remove the hazardous constituents or treat them in place. The EPA Regional Administrator will approve the facility’s selected corrective action method and specify the time frame in which it must take place. Any hazardous constituents that have migrated beyond the point of compliance must also be remediated. The facility must continue corrective action until the GWPS has not been exceeded for three consecutive years. At which point, the facility may return to compliance monitoring.

Interim Status Facilities
The interim status groundwater monitoring requirements apply only to facilities with hazardous waste landfills, surface impoundments or land treatment units in operation prior to the hazardous waste rules’ effective date. An interim status facility subject to the groundwater monitoring requirements must design and implement a groundwater monitoring system capable of representing the background groundwater quality and detecting any hazardous constituents that migrate from the hazardous waste management units.
This system must consist of at least one up-gradient and three down-gradient monitoring wells that can collect representative samples for analysis. If an SSI in any constituent is detected and confirmed during sampling, the owner/operators must submit written notification to the EPA Regional Administrator in writing within seven days. The owner/operators must then continue to monitor the groundwater quality. While the interim status regulations do not contain corrective action provisions, the EPA Regional Administrator may order cleanup under RCRA §3008(h) or §7003 authority, or when the facility permit is issued.

Labour market for technical talent
The shortage of technicians poses a challenge for the entire energy sector as well as society as a whole. In 2018, we filled 628 vacancies, including 294 vacancies for technical positions in operations. Finding suitable candidates is becoming increasingly difficult. Moreover, training people to carry out our specific work takes a long time and puts great pressure on experienced operational staff. We believe it is our task to ensure a growing job market for technicians in the next few years. We are doing this by, among other things, demonstrating how interesting and challenging our work is. We offer training opportunities to newcomers to our sector, young people, and people at a distance from the labour market, and we work with the education sector to increase interest in technology among young people, their parents and teachers.
For several years, we have actively conducted an intensive recruitment campaign on several fronts (both internal and external) to highlight the shortage of technicians within our company. Employees can introduce new technicians to Alliander through the internal referral programme, ‘Alliander Werft!’ (‘Alliander is recruiting!’). Various new roles were added to this programme in 2018. A total of 145 potential candidates were introduced through the programme in 2018, and 45 of them were offered a contract.
In 2018, we made six virtual reality videos to provide a real-life experience of what our work involves. Some 2,500 technicians who work for Alliander received a VR headset so that they could show the videos to their families and friends. The videos have also been used in our recruitment campaigns and in job interviews. This way of demonstrating how interesting our work is reinforces our image of an attractive, modern employer. We also noted that it makes our employees more proud of the work that they do.
We developed a procedure to assess whether individuals without a technical background or relevant previous education have an affinity with technology. This will promote the influx of promising newcomers from other sectors. In addition, we make use of training capacity at external parties.
Strengthening ties with the education sector
We are aware that a technical job is not high on the list of preferred career options. In response to this situation, the government, construction companies, technology companies and educational institutions are joining forces. During the year under review, the establishment of a construction and engineering innovation centre was announced and work was done on creating a shared, appropriate range of training courses (including courses leading to senior secondary vocational education and training qualifications). In addition, energy companies are strengthening their ties with educational institutions and schools to introduce children and young people to the fulfilling and inspiring field of energy technology at an early stage. At the end of the summer, eleven students with senior general secondary education (HAVO) diplomas started a new training course at Alliander. Over the space of two years, we will train these students for a graduate-level technical role, and at the end of the course they will be awarded a recognised qualification in electrical engineering. The students will also work for us through the Liander, Qirion and Kenter business units. This programme is the first joint venture in the area of electrical engineering between the business community and the education sector in the Arnhem-Nijmegen region.
We have furthermore seen that technical preparatory secondary vocational education institutions have stopped offering certain technical courses due to low numbers of students taking those courses. That is why, within our service area, Alliander is holding talks with institutions with the aim of relaunching those courses. For instance, in 2018 we stepped up our collaboration with Vakschool Technische installaties (VTi). As a result, ROC van Amsterdam relaunched its infra energy technology course in the autumn. Alliander offers workshops, attends open days at schools, gives tours and makes its time and materials available.
‘Electricity is the same wherever you go’
Since December 2017, Firas Khalaf has followed a training programme that leads to a senior secondary vocational education and training qualification (MBO 3) in electricity network installation and maintenance. Liander and construction group BAM help asylum status holders to find work and build a future in the Netherlands. Liander is very happy to have these highly motivated newcomers to our sector as employees, but Firas is even happier. “‘I fled Syria and came to the Netherlands four years ago,” he explained. “I had to leave my old life behind, and now I’m building a new life here.” Having worked as a fitter in Syria, Firas is now being trained as an electrician. He does not see much difference between the two. “Electricity is electricity”, he said with a smile. “It’s the same wherever you go.”
It is a morning in December. Three Liander vans drive into a dark street in Brummen. The street lights have been off for some time due to an outage. Firas and his colleagues have come to repair the fault.
The rain is pouring down. Firas enters the transformer hut, puts his hard hat on, and switches off the voltage in the network, following instructions given by his supervisor, Gert. The neighbourhood will be without electricity for the next few hours. “Safety in the workplace is extremely important in the Netherlands, and we’ve learned a lot about it on our course. There aren’t any clear safety rules in Syria, and personal protective equipment isn’t always used.” Firas sat a maths test the previous day. He only has a few more tests to go before he gains his qualification. “I found the course hard at first,” he admitted. “Things like installation diagrams and arithmetic were easy, but the language was difficult, although things improved after a few months.”
Firas and two colleagues walk past the lampposts in the rain as they work out where the fault is located. The precise location of the fault is pinpointed using special, highly accurate equipment, following which Firas can make a start on the repairs. An old lady comes out of her home. “How long’s it going to take?” she asks. She is unable to watch television or use the telephone. Firas is certain that the street lights will be working again by the end of the afternoon. “There are always people who come along and ask questions. That’s part of the job, too.” What Firas enjoys most is constructing new installations. This means working with a great deal of accuracy, which he enjoys. A smile flashes under his hood: “That, and working outside in the sunshine.” | <urn:uuid:a287b2a8-94fd-4bdb-ab7c-488600bda98f> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://2022.jaarverslag.alliander.com/verslagen/annual-report-2018/ourresultsin8/employees6/laboumarkefotechnicatalen | 2024-02-23T09:17:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.968304 | 1,381 |
The stress of the holidays doesn’t just affect people individually “ it can also put a lot of stress on couples. And if that couple is just starting out in a relationship, the stress of the holiday season might just tear them apart. Worried that all the holiday fun might spell the end of you and your guy? Try some of the tips below to nurture that brand new relationship right through the holidays and beyond.
Decide beforehand when and where the two of you will celebrate holidays as a couple, and on your own. If the relationship is brand new it might not be appropriate to bring him home to your parents and ask if the two of you can share your old bedroom. If Christmas Eve is a traditional night for immediate family for him, maybe you should go your separate ways that night. Talk about the holidays and what the expectations might be. This will keep your brand new relationship from hitting a sour note during the holiday season.
Respect those choices
Once decisions regarding the holiday season have been made, respect them. Don’t try to nag him into doing something he has already said he doesn’t want to do, and if he tries this on you, call him on it. After all, one of the foundations of a relationship is respect. Foster this in your brand new relationship by not trying to revisit decisions that have already been made.
Don’t try to be enthusiastic about holiday choices that don’t matter to you. And don’t expect the same from him. Another important aspect of a new relationship is to enjoy each other as is, not to put on a faé§ade that you can later whip off. If he is obsessed with having the best light display in the neighborhood, or throwing the best New Year’s party of the season, or vice versa, enjoy each other’s differences rather than feigning an emotion that can turn to resentment.
Spend time apart
It’s important during the holiday season for the two of you, especially in a new relationship, to spend some time apart. Seeing family, friends, co-workers, etc. on your own can help you keep perspective about each other, and will help keep holiday stress from exploding in already tense moments. Plus, haven’t you heard that absence makes the heart grow fonder?
Spend some time (alone) together
Don’t forget to schedule some alone time, too. During the hectic holiday season, with parties and get togethers and endless shopping, just being together can be left behind. Any relationship, but especially a brand new one, needs time for being a couple, without all the drinks and music and holiday lights. Whether it’s a quiet dinner alone, a walk in the park, or just a night in watching movies or television, be sure to squeeze in some alone time during the holiday season. This will give your brand new relationship a chance to flourish. | <urn:uuid:06bf2285-3b90-4130-bd23-0f23b3a73203> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://29secrets.com/relationships/nurturing-brand-new-relationship-through-holiday-season/ | 2024-02-23T09:03:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.960433 | 606 |

Like we usually indicate, our Top Ten lists are based on subjective criteria and mostly refer to companies that, along with very interesting products, also have somehow been able to catch the media and our attention. This may sometimes penalizes those companies that just focus on work and product development, instead of communication. ErectorBot might be one of them.
The company, which we had first covered last year around this time, is now on the market with a huge 20ft x 7ft x 6ft working volume (which equals out to 23 cubic meters) 3D printer to go along with its range of large-scale EB1 machines. A size which would take it right up to the Top 5 in our recent list.
Fortunately, finding out about what is going on in the world of 3D printing is what the lists are for. While Mike described the company’s business model in detail in his article last year, we now have more details on the largest model, which is already available to be ordered form ErectorBot’s online store for $46,425.00 in the standard line-up, making it an affordable solution for these size capabilities. In fact, ErectorBot also offers a custom HD series, made to order, that can go even larger.
All ErectorBot run an open source, high-end micro controller and software setup. And all machines can use tools other than the extruder head. Since they are built to be robust, they can easily turn into large-sized CNC’s for subtractive processes as well. Depending on machine length and process, an ErectorBot can reach mechanical speeds of up to 1000 mm/sec with available extruder options including the dual high temp Micron 3DP extruders, along with a pellet extruder that the company dubbed the “Erecto-Struder”.
Currently, among the more visible users of an ErectorBot system is Bay Area artist Bruce Beasley (interviewed by 3DPI here), who owns an EB644 LX model, which he uses to create geometrically complex scultpures, which are then translated into bronze through a variety of different processes. ErectorBot’s Leonard Dodd also stated that several high-profile customers have already expressed interest in the technology and more news will be released in the upcoming months. They are certainly going to be big. | <urn:uuid:de50bfa3-60c3-460c-817e-b7520b08ac0a> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://3dprintingindustry.com/news/erectorbot-one-large-size-3d-printer-ready-top-ten-list-56012/ | 2024-02-23T09:59:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.963731 | 498 |
Following a rumor which emerged earlier this month, 3D printer manufacturer VELO3D has now confirmed that it has entered into a definitive agreement to go public via a SPAC merger with blank check company JAWS Spitfire Acquisition Corporation.
The deal is expected to complete in H2 2021, at which point the combined entity is likely to be valued at $1.6 billion on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker “VLD”. The transaction is also expected to provide around $500 million in cash proceeds for VELO3D to continue its growth.
“VELO3D partners with the world’s most innovative companies leading the future of space travel, transportation and energy,” said Benny Buller, Founder and CEO of VELO3D. “I am proud that such visionary partners continue to trust VELO3D to build products through methods that were previously impossible. With JAWS Spitfire’s long-term partnership, we expect to extend the reach of VELO3D’s technology and bring its solutions to even more customers globally.”
Where does VELO3D go from here?
VELO’s growth strategy will focus on the high value metal parts that only its support-free metal 3D printing technology can produce. With the high-volume Sapphire XC 3D printer set to ship in Q4 2021, the company estimates its total addressable market to stand at over $100 billion.
Of the $500 million the VELO expects to raise, $345 million will come in the form of proceeds from JAWS Spitfire’s cash in trust and $155 million will come from a private placement of common stock at $10 per share. The private placement will be led by strategic and institutional investors such as Baron Capital Group and Hedosophia. VELO has stated that the additional capital will go towards technological development, sales, marketing, and customer support.
“Benny and the VELO3D team have placed technical innovation at the core of their business model, and we are excited to partner as they bring their technology to a broader set of similarly innovative customers across the world,” said Barry Sternlicht, Co-Founder and Chairman of JAWS Spitfire. “Since commercialization, VELO3D has attracted an impressive customer base, showcasing the seamless, cost-competitive production of previously unattainable designs.”

Gingivitis is a type of gum disease marked by red, swollen gums that bleed easily. The bacteria found in plaque is a major cause of gingivitis, causing bleeding and inflammation in your gums. Oil pulling is becoming an effective remedy to improve gum health and reduce inflammation. It works by decreasing the harmful bacteria and plaque in your mouth that contribute to gum disease.
The anti-inflammatory properties of coconut oil may aid by reducing the inflammation associated with gum disease. In one study, 60 participants with gingivitis began oil pulling with coconut oil for 30 days. After 1 week, they had reduced amounts of plaque and showed an improvement in gum health and a reduction in the amount of harmful bacteria in their mouth. These findings suggest that oil pulling can be an effective supplementary treatment to prevent plaque formation and promote healthy gums. | <urn:uuid:90b310e6-fccc-4e66-900a-426e3f909030> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://3dprobrush.com/dental-drops/wishgarden-herbs/ | 2024-02-23T09:11:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.929265 | 1,195 |

I’ve been getting this question on Twitter a lot recently so I felt I’d answer it in a post. I’ve gone through 4 Glass Bongs, 3 One-Hitter Pipes, and a countless number of glass bowls. I’ll admit that I have even broken my glassware in an attempt to clean it. That’s why I feel that most can learn from my mistakes and share in my victory with the flawless bong cleaning methods I now use today.
If you’re going to travel with your piece it’s best to keep it clean. Resin smells more than bud! That’s the first thing law enforcement would smell on you. A dirty piece is always considered drug paraphernalia — clean, it’s nothing more than a tobacco pipe.
These are the best ways to clean a bong. If you follow closely you will never need to go out and buy any expensive cleaners, even though they do work. You can use household items as mentioned below. All cleaners work BEST when the piece is warm, so running hot (not scalding) water through it before a clean will give the glass surface the optimal warm temperature.
- Don’t clean your glass under the influence.. In other words, “Don’t smoke and clean.” (I broke my first bong that way… the same day I got it.)
- When the resin drips out of your bong it’s going to get in your sink, drip on your dishes, or get stuck in your drain if you don’t clean in the right area.
- Make sure you’ll have time to let it air dry, the bigger the piece the more dry time.
- The dirtier the glassware the more time you’ll need to let it soak to get the funky discoloration and (dare I say) YEARS of resin build up to come off.
When it comes to store bought glass and bowl cleaners like “Formula 420,” you are in for a serious waste of cash.. Money that can be better spent on other things . . . Especially when the same cleaning result can be obtained using household materials. While most 420 Cleaners definitely work well it may require a trip to the shop or amazon before you can get your bong cleaned and sometimes that isn’t always the option when you’re smoking discretely. These house hold objects below will get the job done.
99% ISO alcohol (Remember: The higher alcohol % the BETTER, although most people in the states can’t get a hold of 70%+ Iso alcohol in stores) Pro Tip: If you’re cheap, you can save your dirty alcohol and it works just as good as new
Rock Salt (some people say Rice.. But personally, I wouldn’t turn my bong into a rice cooker ;))
Hot water (close to boiling water to soften resin)
Lemon Juice – (optional) is acidic and can bring a clean smell to the bong that the alcohol leaves
The Glass Pipe / Bong / Bowl Cleaner Method:
There are multiple ways to clean a bong but in this tutorial we focus on what we know is the BEST way to clean a bong.
— Always get the temperature of the glass warm to begin the cleaning process. We do this by running hot (but not scalding) water through the glass until it is warm to the touch.
— Pour some (not TOO much) ISO alcohol into your piece, followed by a 2-3 pinches of rock salt. Try to seal off the holes with some sort of plug so the mixture can stay inside. You can cork up small holes and the head of the bong. Some people prefer to use saran wrap and a few rubber bands. Whichever method you use, after the bong is full of the cleaning agent and the carb, head and mouth are sealed, you can shake the piece (albeit carefully so you don’t break it). When cleaning a small bong, simply use your fingers to seal the holes.
— Shake the solution around inside. You’ll notice that it pulls off the new resin almost instantly. To clean bong resin it may require a few rinses (or a few hours soaking) and shakes before coming off. If after a few rinses the bong is still dirty, it may require an overnight soak. The overnight soak involves fully submersing the piece in a mixture of hot water, ISO Alcohol and Rock Salt.
If you’re about to give up all hope for cleaning your piece, there’s still more you can do using different cleaning agents. Kush Clean works well on glass for overnight soaks and this allows you to avoid shaking your expensive glass bong entirely. Even dish washing detergent and clothing detergent can get tough grease buildup off your glass. Just make sure you thoroughly rinse it before using it for a smoke again. We’ve also reviewed other bong cleaning products here.
Note that I recommend the NATURAL approach first and the chemical approach if all else fails. The end result will be a good as new piece.
Remember: The liquid and resin that comes out of your piece will stain all types of materials so try to get it to go directly down the drain.
Here’s a method for the Acrylic Pipe Cleaning users:
- Consider getting a glass piece.. Think about the dangers of smoking plastic. . . Just kidding, read on:
Degreaser is best for plastic bongs. Alcohol will cause it to crack. Dollar General sells store brand degreaser in a spray bottle for about $5. At first glance, it looks like Febreeze. It is so good, the plastic will look almost new when cleaned. Best stuff I’ve ever seen for acrylic. An old toothbrush will help clean stubborn spots. A round cardboard coat hanger dowel (the kind you hang pants on) makes a good extension for a toothbrush. You can use iso on the metal parts.
Method for Cleaning a Wood Pipe
If you want to clean your wooden piece, attempting to fully soak it in alcohol will warp the wood. So if you really want to clean that wooden pipe than your going to need pipe cleaners and/or a toothbrush. Soak the pipe cleaners/brush in alcohol and use some elbow grease to work out the resin from the crevices. It may take a few brushings to get it clean as new but as always, it’s worth it.
Frequently asked Bong Glass Pipe Cleaning Questions
Q: I can’t find any alcohol higher than 70% will it still work?
A: Yeah it will work but it will just take longer.. let it soak for 20-30 minutes and then rinse.
Q: Is it true I can smoke the resin when cleaning a pipe, isn’t it just like hash?
A: Resin in your bong/pipe is the byproduct of your smoking, it is literally tar and THC. There’s something special about this byproduct however. Since it was exposed to heat, the cannabinoids have been carboxylated, making the inactive cannabinoids more potent. For the same reason that the ends of a blunt/joint are always stronger because they are packed with the resin of the smoked material.
Q: Can you collect this resin and smoke it?
A: Yeah, instead of using Salt & ISO alcohol, just use the alcohol and drain the resin filled alcohol into a glass tray. In order for the resin to be smokeable you must allow ALL of the alcohol to evaporate.
“Since concentrated forms of cannabis like kief, hash, BHO, and wax don’t contain plant matter – they leave behind little to no residue of tar. The yellow stains in a bong after a session of hash dabs is mostly THC. If you save this ‘reclaim’, you can smoke it again for a knockout high or bake it into brownies for an incred-edible experience.”
Q: Is it possible to clean a complicated glass pipe/bubbler entirely to make it as good as new?A: Absolutely YES! There are a slew of products out there that can naturally clean your your glassware. Most of the time the hardest pieces just require extending soaking. | <urn:uuid:a8aca866-b77a-4f5c-98dc-29fe0663b70d> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://421flavors.com/132/how-to-clean-a-glass-bowl-bong-and-pipe/ | 2024-02-23T10:11:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.926554 | 1,763 |
Welcome to Top Grade: CanLit for the Classroom, a blog and preview video series that features new releases from Canadian book publishers ideal for use in K-12 classrooms and school library collections. Throughout the year, we dive into new titles, highlighting relevant curriculum links and themes.
Written by secondary school teacher Spencer Miller
A stand-out Top Grade selection from 2022, Habiba Cooper Diallo’s memoir #BlackInSchool shares writings from her high school journal with intent to shed light on her experiences as a Black Canadian high school student. Detailing her grade 11 and 12 years attending school in Halifax, she documents, processes, and resists the systemic racism, microaggressions, stereotypes, and outright racism that she experienced while being Black in school in Canada.
What needs to change in the Canadian school system so it can become a safe and nurturing place for Black students? When asked this question, Habiba Cooper Diallo responded that teachers need to understand the contexts of their Black students and challenge the whitewashing of curriculum. “There’s a lot that [teachers] can do, but they have to be willing and committed to doing it. Many of them don’t want to do the work. They think it’s hard, but it’s not hard. They need to start by educating themselves,” said Diallo.
When it comes to doing the work and educating ourselves, I highly recommend teachers read children’s and young adult books on the topics of Black history and anti-racism. These books give us the language to address these topics in the classroom. Books written in a Canadian context can more specifically help Canadian teachers to understand and teach to the contexts of their students.
These recent titles from Canadian publishers are powerful resources for teachers exploring Black history in Canada and teaching anti-racism.

Maybe you’ve already been blindsided by the an acquaintances conditions or methods? Otherwise one invested longer worrying in the someone else in the industry rather than collaborating and you may fixing the business choice in hand?
If you have responded sure so you’re able to either or one another issues next you are probably perhaps not during the an ally matchmaking, otherwise to the a small grouping of partners. You may have yet to arrive what i telephone call new “four yeses.”
What exactly do I am talking about of the four yeses? Better in virtually any communication, we’re sizing both up and inquiring ourselves (knowingly otherwise subconsciously) five issues. The fresh new approaches to each matter see whether you, or the consult you are making regarding myself, will probably be worth my date, focus, trust and effort. Generally, they see whether or otherwise not we will see an ally dating. Those people four concerns is actually:
step one. Ought i rely on you?
This is the reactive perspective. Whenever expected to behave, otherwise a bit of efforts are delegated for your requirements, you will do it and you will deliver timely, for the required quality of functions and you can professionalism.
dos. Should i count on you?
Here is the hands-on direction. When you see a desire, you step in and you can manage what’s necessary, provide viewpoints, right the newest typo inside the a file, go out of the right path to aid anyone else create.
If you ask me these two questions is in which extremely organization matchmaking begin, preventing. Those two issues focus on the transactional characteristics regarding business, toward just what and performance that have to be delivered. Perform everything you state might do therefore will meet criterion. However, you will not fundamentally surpass requirement. When you look at the a crisis we would perhaps not query both to possess help, or be capable believe in each other.
Reacting sure to those one or two inquiries will feel like “You do their content, Sick manage mine and very well be Okay.” However in modern functions “OK” is actually scarcely enough.
To be an ally, a trusted spouse, you need to flow the relationship to the next level; that’s where the final one or two inquiries is actually https://datingranking.net/sports-dating/ vital.
3. Would We care about you?
This is simply not about an excellent “category hug” or “believe slide.” Rather create We love your ability to succeed in so far as i create my. Are We prepared to postponed my work for a once the its ideal question for you or the firm? Would We worry about their intent, feelings and you can thinking? Are I can empathize, and will we hook up at a personal height? Am I happy to display my material-star employee along with you, import them to your group, due to the fact their ideal point with the endeavor or even for them.
4. Perform We trust you?
Here is the most crucial case of all. Trust ‘s the base having Ally relationship, faith is what enables us to help my personal protect down and you may become real me personally. When deciding to take told chance rather than concern you to definitely errors was penalized, but instead was treated because reading potential.
This past question often factors a lot of argument during my keynote presentations or classes. Repeatedly individuals will say that you have to secure faith. Get to yes to possess concerns step 1 and you can 2 and finally you gets in order to yes because of it concern. However this is another way – to decide giving faith, setting standards from the outset.
To reinforce this aspect check out the history date you’ve got into a plane. My guess is that you gave believe immediately with the pilot, that you may possibly confidence them to push you to be their attraction promptly, and trust these to exercise in one piece. Your offered believe to a complete stranger, a sound on radio.
Then why is it that you hesitate to bring trust so you’re able to your own associate? Somebody you know to check out day-after-day?
How does fostering effective relationship number?
We completely accept that the realm of job is a group athletics. The most significant party recreation anybody can play. Which means that we have been determined by other people in regards to our triumph. We need to pay attention to how while i nurture elite relationship at work. Unfortuitously a lot of people merely work on dealing with “yes” having questions step one and you may 2. For the doing this, he could be missing a strong opportunity to nurture an absolute matchmaking.
Instead a confident means to fix the 3rd question and even more importantly the fresh next, you are going to not be able to go a friend matchmaking. Some tips about what distinguishes an associate out of a buddy, a coworker away from a trusted spouse, what i identify since a supporter – or Competition – so you can a friend.
My personal problem for you is to please feel free and you can envision your aims each other elite group and private. Who may have the capacity to assist otherwise prevent you from gaining your goals? Speaking of the critical stakeholders, relationships that you need to end up being investing now to be certain your own success.
Since you think of these types of five inquiries as well as the professional relationship you pick while the critical to your success, remember that this really is a two-method roadway. They is not adequate on precisely how to be able to answer “yes” to every concern because you consider about your colleagues. It is reasonably whether they is respond to “yes” to all or any four questions when they imagine its contact with performing with you. | <urn:uuid:91954514-955a-400f-95e5-339a69279933> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://7oceancleaning.com/2022/06/29/cuatro-critical-issues-for-each-and-every-top/ | 2024-02-23T09:32:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.960691 | 1,202 |

Feeling pressure behind the eyes is a common issue I see with patients and doesn’t necessarily correlate with a problem with the eye itself. There are many causes for feeling this pressure sensation and some can be sight threatening so it is important to let your optometrist know if you notice this.
Migraines and tension headaches can cause a pressure sensation behind the eyes. Tension headaches are the most common headaches with 80% of people experiencing them. So, if you are reading this, it’s likely that you know exactly what I’m talking about! Migraines are less common and can be very severe. With migraines you can experience strange visual phenomena that are called auras that look like colorful zig zags. I have patients in frequently for these and they are very scary! But these issues have nothing to do with the eyes themselves. I usually direct these patients to their primary physician for
relief from headaches.
Sinus infections are cause by bacteria or viruses that get trapped in the spaces (sinus cavities) behind the eyes. The sinus cavities are above, below, behind, and between the eyes. When infected, the sinuses expand and cause a feeling of pressure around the eyes. Other symptoms usually go along with sinus infections like fever, cough, fatigue, headache, sore throat, runny nose, and loss of smell. Allergies can cause this scenario as well on a smaller scale.
In Graves’ disease, an overactive thyroid gland causes the tissue, muscles, and fat behind the eyes to enlarge. This causes the eyeball to protrude forward which can then cause dry eye and inability to move the eye. It may also cause the sensation of pressure. Other ocular symptoms with Graves’ disease include tearing, light sensitivity, double vision, loss of vision, and ulcers on the eye. Your doctor can measure thyroid levels with blood testing to determine if the pressure behind the eyes is related to Graves’ disease.
The optic nerve connects the eye to the brain. Optic neuritis is a condition where this nerve becomes inflamed and swollen. It can cause pain to the eye as well as vision loss. Optic neuritis is commonly associated with multiple sclerosis and is often the first sign of MS that patient’s experience. I have unfortunately seen this already a few times in my career. Studies say around 50% of patients with MS experience optic neuritis at some point. Other symptoms could include color vision issues, blurry vision when hot, pain with eye movement, and the pupil not reacting how it should.
Toothaches can lead to “referred pain” which is where the pain feels like it is in another area of the face rather than in the mouth. This can make it feel like the throbbing pain or pressure is in the eye.
Injury to the face
Fracture to the eye socket from injuries sustained in car accidents or playing sports can damage the eye muscles, nerves, and sinuses. This can lead to pressure and pain behind the eyes. Treatment for pressure behind the eyes depends on the cause. The best plan if you feel a pressure sensation behind the eyes is to first visit your optometrist to rule out any sight threatening conditions. If it is unrelated to the eyes, your primary care physician should be able to help. Obviously, if you sustain an injury to the face, a visit to the ER should be first on the list.

Social Media Roasts Mom After Intimate Hug With Son on Football Field
Showing someone affection I think is something we naturally do when we love someone. We can also hug someone to show our congratulations to them or as a way to offer them comfort in bad times.
How we show affection to each other is something that changes with the environment. You may give a longer hug to someone in your family when you are at home. But a mother's hug on a football field has plenty of people commenting.
I'm not making any statement about this situation or than, it seems very strange to me. It seems like if you want to show your love for your child, a big hug without wrapping your legs around your child and jumping on him might be more appropriate.
It's not for me to judge. Here is Khalil Underwood's question, and so It's our question as well, "Is it normal for a Mom to hug her son like this?" Here is what so many people had to say. What do you think?

In 2014 the CDC reported that 2 million Americans abused or were dependent on opioids. Opioids are the most commonly dispensed medications within the healthcare organization and account for the highest number of adverse events. The most serious of these adverse events is ventilatory impairment leading to arrest and death.
Because of the increase in these events effecting the patient safety withing the hospital setting current mitigation strategy requires a close look at the related prescribing practices and physician awareness particularly in post-operative patients and those with chronic pain. Accordingly AACI in concert with other leading accreditation bodies around the world have introduced methods to mitigate this threat to patient safety. With this goal in mind we introduce a new section in our upcoming Accreditation Standard Version 5.0 facilitating a multidisciplinary body composed of medical staff and other clinical experts to mitigate and prevent these unneeded, avoidable and tragic events.
” It is with great appreciation that I thank those in the Standard Development Group, and those who will contribute to this difficult but most worthwhile task within our AACI accredited healthcare organizations. Your dedication to ruling risk and saving lives is gratefully acknowledged.”

As many as 30 million people see a doctor each year due to a cough, according to statistics from the National Library of Medicine.
If you're one of the many this winter who either has a lingering cough or knows someone who has one, emergency medicine physician and ABC News medical correspondent Dr. Darien Sutton has the tips you need to get on the road to a full recovery or know when to seek medical help.
Even though someone may be on the tail end of a cold or flu infection, the airways may still be irritated, leading to a lingering cough.
"We have small air sacs in our lungs. They help exchange oxygen to our blood so that we can get the air that we need but during this cough season, you have a buildup of mucus and irritants and that stimulate what we have, cough receptors in our chest and that causes the cough reflex," Sutton explained on "Good Morning America" Thursday.
In addition, multiple factors can lead to the development of mucus.
"Many things can cause that buildup of mucus. Common things being viral illnesses but also acid reflux, allergies, asthma, things of that sort can all increase your buildup of mucus, so it's about figuring out what's the cause," Sutton continued.
Different types of infections and illnesses can trigger a cough so it may be necessary to see a doctor to rule out what is or isn't a cause.
"A lot of the causes are the viral illnesses that we're seeing. We're seeing increases in flu, RSV and COVID," Sutton said.
With a virus, Sutton said the main period of symptoms typically lasts for three weeks.
"That's the typical time where you're going to have that cough," Sutton explained.
"After that, the three to six-week mark, that's what we call subacute," he continued. "That's the time when we're a little bit more investigative. We're doing imaging, we're trying to figure out what else could also be the cause, but it can also be something called post-infectious, which is just your lungs healing."
If you have had a cough for two months, Sutton said that's when you should see a medical provider and will likely get tests and imaging to determine why you have a chronic cough.
"After eight weeks, that's something called chronic cough and that's what needs an additional workup, including imaging and sputum testing and just trying to figure out exactly what could be the cause," Sutton said.
When you're at home, there are simple remedies you can turn to in the kitchen to feel better more quickly.
"We all have been taught from a young age that soups and broths are helpful from our parents, our grandparents. It's true. It's absolutely true," Sutton said.
"You have your teas, your honey, even eucalyptus oil. If you put it in warm water, it smells fantastic or you put it in your vaporizer, a few drops to help clear your airway. It can be an anti-inflammatory," Sutton added.
While doctors say honey is a common and helpful remedy for a cough, it is not safe for children less than a year old.
When it comes to kids, doctors say parents should talk to their child's pediatrician about what to do for their child's specific symptoms and before giving them any over-the-counter medications to make sure it's the right option or dose.
"Many patients have that question. They come in and their cough is sometimes lasting more than four or five weeks, which is definitely a concern and should be worked up," Sutton said.
In general, Sutton recommends seeing a physician when a cough has lasted for at least three weeks.
"After three weeks, you should get an exam. You should get some type of imaging and then after that, that dictates what the intervention is," Sutton recommended. "Some people find benefit in over-the-counter medications. These medications, although they may help your symptoms, they're not going to change your outcome. And so you might need additional interventions like steroids or albuterol inhalers and that only comes after a formal exam and a workup." | <urn:uuid:03a6f09e-551f-4961-92cd-7152756183f1> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://abc30.com/why-am-i-coughing-when-to-go-doctor-for-cough-lasting-3-weeks-how-get-rid-of-a-bad/14336721/ | 2024-02-23T09:02:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.980657 | 887 |
CHICAGO (WLS) -- A busted passenger side window details the efforts by thieves who, police said, broke into a work van on North State Parkway and Burton Place in the Gold Coast early Saturday morning.
A violent scene later unfolded at Lake Shore Drive near Chicago Avenue, ending with two police officers injured and a suspect still on the loose.
A crew towed the work van that was broken into away on Saturday afternoon.
ABC Plumbing, the company that owns the vehicle, told ABC7 it was a take-home van and that the employee was not hurt or around during the burglary.
ABC7 was there when the work vehicle was towed away, but the concern for neighbors remained.
One man, who only wanted to be named "P.K.," lives on the block where police were investigating for hours.
"It's a sad turn of events for the city," he said. "It was a truck broken into in front of the house here, so it's kind of sad that you can't park on the street without being broken into."
Chicago police said they later stopped a black car, which was connected to the break-in, on Lake Shore Drive just before 8 a.m.
Police said as the driver was being taken into custody, an unknown passenger got in the driver's seat and took off, hitting two officers before escaping.
Police said both officers were treated for non-life-threatening injuries and have since been released. Charges are pending for one suspect as police work to find the other.

Oscar-winning writer Tom McCarthy (Spotlight) is teaming up with award-winning comic book creator Ed Brubaker on a feature adaptation of the latter’s 2020 graphic novel Pulp, which McCarthy would also direct depending on how their script turns out, Above the Line has exclusively learned.
Set in a world on the brink, the graphic novel is described as one part thriller, one part meditation on a life of violence, and a celebration of all things “pulp.”
The film will follow Max Winters, a pulp writer in 1930s New York who finds himself drawn into a story much like the tales he’s known for telling of an outlaw dispensing justice with a six-shooter in the Wild West. But when Max finds himself pursued by bank robbers, Nazi spies, and enemies from his past, the question is whether he’ll be able to do the same.
McCarthy and Brubaker have commenced writing, and while the project isn’t set up anywhere just yet, the duo’s first stop is expected to be Legendary — though a source indicates that negotiations on that front have yet to begin, as it remains early days.
Brubaker and Pulp artist Sean Phillips previously created the bestselling comic book series Criminal and Kill or Be Killed, both of which are fantastic. The two Eisner Award winners were also joined by artist Jacob Phillips on Pulp.
As for McCarthy, he won an Oscar for co-writing Spotlight with Josh Singer, and he also directed that film to a well-deserved Best Picture Oscar. His other feature credits are impressive, ranging from The Station Agent and The Visitor to Win Win and Stillwater. More recently, he created the ABC series Alaska Daily starring Hilary Swank, in addition to writing, directing, and executive producing the series.
Of course, one can’t write about McCarthy without mentioning that he also played morally challenged reporter Scott Templeton in Season 5 of The Wire, which is indisputably one of the greatest TV series ever made. McCarthy is represented by the Gersh Agency, while Brubaker is repped by Rothman Brecher Ehrich Livingston. | <urn:uuid:aff9bc45-7e7a-4d1c-b41c-70f559b9caa2> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://abovetheline.com/2023/01/26/tom-mccarthy-ed-brubaker-pulp-movie/ | 2024-02-23T09:04:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.972322 | 452 |

Share on Facebook
Title: Exploring Coping Mechanisms: A Comparative Analysis of the COPE and the Revised Ways of Coping Questionnaire
Introduction:Coping plays a crucial role in how individuals navigate and manage stressors in their lives. As researchers and practitioners strive to understand and support effective coping strategies, the choice of an appropriate questionnaire becomes essential. In this essay, we will compare and analyze two widely used questionnaires, the COPE (Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced) and the Revised Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ), to determine which one is more suitable for studying coping mechanisms.
Thesis Statement:The COPE questionnaire is more preferable for researching coping mechanisms due to its comprehensive nature, broader applicability, and established validity and reliability.
I. The COPE Questionnaire: A Comprehensive ApproachA. The COPE questionnaire captures a wide range of coping strategies, including problem-focused and emotion-focused coping mechanisms.B. It provides a holistic view of coping styles, allowing researchers to explore various dimensions of coping, such as active versus avoidant coping.C. The inclusion of multiple coping subscales offers a more nuanced understanding of how individuals cope with different stressors.
II. Broader Applicability of the COPE QuestionnaireA. The COPE questionnaire has been widely used across diverse populations and contexts, including clinical, educational, and occupational settings.B. Its versatility allows researchers to investigate coping in various populations, such as adolescents, adults, and individuals with specific health conditions.C. By encompassing a wide range of coping strategies, the COPE questionnaire allows for a comprehensive examination of coping mechanisms across different domains.
III. Validity and Reliability of the COPE QuestionnaireA. The COPE questionnaire has undergone extensive validation, ensuring its accuracy and reliability in assessing coping mechanisms.B. Its psychometric properties have been established in numerous studies, enhancing confidence in its ability to measure coping effectively.C. The widespread use of the COPE questionnaire in research and clinical practice provides a robust foundation for its credibility and utility.
Conclusion:In conclusion, while both the COPE and the Revised Ways of Coping Questionnaire have their merits, the COPE questionnaire emerges as the more preferable choice for researching coping mechanisms. Its comprehensive nature, broader applicability, and established validity and reliability make it an invaluable tool for understanding how individuals cope with various stressors. By utilizing the COPE questionnaire, researchers can gain deeper insights into coping strategies, leading to improved interventions and support systems that promote resilience and well-being in individuals facing challenging circumstances.

One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather across my back terrace. Several times it was confronted by obstacles in its path and after a momentary pause it would make the necessary detour. At one point the ant had to negotiate a crack in the concrete about 10mm wide. After brief contemplation the ant laid the feather over the crack, walked across it and picked up the feather on the other side then continued on its way.
I was fascinated by the ingenuity of this ant, one of God’s smallest creatures. It served to reinforce the miracle of creation. Here was a minute insect, lacking in size yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome. But this ant, like the two-legged co-residents of this planet, also shares human failings. After some time the ant finally reached its destination – a flower bed at the end of the terrace and a small hole that was the entrance to its underground home. And it was here that the ant finally met its match. How could that large feather possibly fit down that small hole? Of course it couldn’t. So the ant, after all this trouble and exercising great ingenuity, overcoming problems all along the way, just abandoned the feather and went home.
The ant had not thought the problem through before it began its epic journey and in the end the feather was nothing more than a burden. Isn’t life like that! We worry about our family, we worry about money or the lack of it, we worry about work, about where we live, about all sorts of things. These are all burdens – the things we pick up along life’s path and lug them around the obstacles and over the crevasses that life will bring, only to find that at the destination they are useless and we can’t take them with us. | <urn:uuid:5105e175-dec1-4979-9417-39b81e0f4301> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://academictips.org/blogs/the-story-of-an-ant/ | 2024-02-23T11:49:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.975846 | 382 |
The effect of home-schooling has been profound on children and young people when lockdown measures have been taken to protect the health of the nation, but digital access can help to retain a sense of commonality and belonging even during this period of isolation (Young Minds, March 2020).
The survey with 2,111 young people with a history of mental health needs between Friday 20th March (the day that schools closed to most children) and Wednesday 25th March (when there had been a further tightening of restrictions) found:
- 32% agreed that it had made their mental health much worse
- 51% agreed that it had made their mental health a bit worse
- 9% agreed that it made no difference to their mental health
- 6% said that their mental health had become a bit better
- 1% said that their mental health had become much better | <urn:uuid:59653226-f156-44a7-be78-cf0fd2bdc6a1> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://accesswy.org/young-minds/ | 2024-02-23T10:59:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.994944 | 176 |
Best Vitamin Supplements & Hormonal Skin Pill Over the Counter
Acnetame is a prescription free skin clarification supplement that contains nine potent ingredients which are recommended by holistic doctors for treating hormonal acne effectively. It is the best acne pill that does not contain any harsh chemicals and prevents breakouts before they even begin. This supplement for hormonal breakouts can help reduce inflammation, redness, and oily skin. Be sure to check out the Acnetame reviews below.
“Acnetame is the best acne supplement because the ingredients are similar to expensive acne treatment products that I have used for hormonal acne. It contains Vitamin A which I know is a key factor for treating hormonal acne. I know that it is working when my skin begins to get a little dry and after about three or four months my acne does not come back.
It really boosts your confidence when your face is clear and I have not felt that way when using topical treatments like gels and creams as they only work temporarily. I have not experienced any side effects and I have been using this product for a while. I recommend this acne supplement to those who either have mild or severe acne.”
Since I have turned 50 I have started to experience acne flareups. I have tried to use different kinds of antiacne products and cosmetics but did not have any success with them. I also looked into medications for acne but became scared after learning about all of the negative side effects. I have found that this nonprescription acne pill taken in conjunction with an antiacne cream by Neutrogena works perfectly. When I first started taking Acnetame I took one pill a day and now I take one pill every other day and it still works very effectively. I am very happy with this product and I absolutely recommend it.”
“I was using the Murad acne supplement for a while and it helped but I wanted something cheaper and more effective so I tried Acnetame. In my opinion it is the best pimple treatment available over the counter because it works way better than the other acne supplement. After starting Acnetame I did not get new pimples in about a week’s use. Murad costs more and is not as powerful as Acnetame. If you suffer from acne please try this because you will see results!”
– ~Suk W. Yu
How it works
Acnetame is a supplement that works by treating hormonal acne from the inside out with natural ingredients giving you less breakouts without any harmful side effects. Each ingredient in this acne supplement product is backed by scientific research in terms of being effective for treating hormonal acne.

The Wildlife Management Program is very active in collecting harvest information, implementing numerous habitat projects and conducting research programs. We are committed to implementing sound management principles and as a result will continue to produce quality big game animals and hunting opportunities for all to enjoy well into the future.
Funding for the projects comes from the hunting program along with supplimental funding from grants. We have partnered with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Natural Resources Conservation Services, Bureau of Indian Affairs and the USDA to make these programs a reality.
Since its inception in 2001, Acoma Game and Fish Enterprise has aggressively developed a management program for the Pueblo based on sound scientific principles. It has created a successful big game trophy hunting enterprise with revenues generated re-invested back into the program. Identifying deficiencies in data, the program developed management plans outlining short and long-term goals, initiated habitat improvements and implemented the collection and analysis of baseline data for its wildlife resources.
Water is an essential component in the arid Southwest. Through the development of solar wells and installation of water catchements, our program continues to increase water distribution throughout the reservation. This distribution aids in the utilization of available habitat by big game animals and increases population numbers.
Aerial Herd Composition Surveys
Surveys are conducted in January of each year to determine population numbers and herd composition. Big game animals are classified by species, sex and location. Males are classified into categories based on the number of antler points and large trophy animals are rough scored. Female and young of each species are also classified. The data collected is used to determine population dynamics, track population trends, and calculate sex ratios and recruitment rates.This data is used to create season structures, project allowable harvest numbers, and allow Acoma Game and Fish to make data based decisions for population management and habitat improvement projects.
Elk Telemetry Project
A total of 18 elk were collared with GPS collars to determine movement, seasonal habitat selection and critical habitat. The information will help better manage the herd and it’s habitat.
Habitat Improvement Projects
Additional habitat work has occurred on cactus and Pinion-juniper. A brush rake was used to mechanically remove Cholla cactus. The area was reseeded with Native Grasses to improve habitat for mule deer, pronghorn, quail and elk. We continue to utilize hydro-axe and so far have completed over 1,000 acres of pinon/juniper which was encroaching on natural meadows. The treatment area was also reseeded so elk and mule deer will benefit.
Mule Deer Study
Our ongoing Mule deer study is focused on survival, movement, resource use, seasonal habitat selection, and critical habitat across Acoma Lands. A mixture of 22 bucks and does were collared with Iridium GPS collars to collect location data through out each day. The location data is analyzed using modern statistical models.

This is the first post in a series featuring short descriptions of papers and panels that will be presented at the Canadian Historical Association`s annual meeting being held at the University of British Columbia June 3-5.
Homelessness and inequality are at the forefront of public discussions and policy debates. In this panel discussion we argue that a deeper historical perspective on this subject is urgently needed. Our conversation begins with specific times and places, but in bringing these papers together we expect the panel to connect to broader horizons and current public policy issues.
In his paper, Victoria city councillor Ben Isitt takes an explicitly public history approach. Entitled “Debating and Developing Decommodified Housing in Greater Victoria: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives,” the paper analyzes recent trends in homelessness and proposes a historically-informed policy strategy guided by the concept of social economy, whereby diverse organizations collaborate to work towards social rather than private objectives. Isitt’s idea of social economy builds on the deep historical tradition of non-profit, non-market housing in Canada, but demonstrates that it is not a substitute for the public sector; it exists in partnership with the public sector, and it is the partnership that offers solutions.
Eion Kelly takes a different approach in “Finding the Homeless in Early Twentieth-Century Canada.” Based on a Master’s thesis, completed at the University of Victoria in 2018, Kelly used hitherto unknown or under-utilized sources to analyze the “unhoused” in pre-1914 urban British Columbia. A profile of the unhoused is compiled from the records of Vancouver Associated Charities and the 1911 census. Using this source, it is possible to find the unhoused and to identify potential biases in the sources. The analysis includes both quantitative and qualitative approaches; it is both social science history and cultural history. In the end, Kelly demonstrates that the unhoused turn out to be more diverse than contemporary accounts suggested, and more diverse than is often suggested by images of “tramp” or “hobo.”
Eric Sager’s paper – “Inequality and the Politics of Spiritual Engineering in Early 20th Century Canada” – is drawn from a book, currently in progress, on the history of the idea of inequality in Canada. The problem of inequality is uncovered among radical reformers in the 1830s, the Protestant critics of wealth, labour reformers, socialists, political economists in English- and French-Canada in the early 20th century, social gospelers, and specific social democratic and liberal thinkers in the 20th century. Inequality is a recurring theme in the egalitarian politics of the Canadian liberal order. For the social gospel period, the argument is that the problem of inequality was encased in a postmillennial doctrine of immanence – the belief in a divinely-ordained nearness of brotherhood and social salvation.
This panel will be held on Monday June 3 at 1:30 p.m. For more details about the CHA’s annual meeting, consult the program here.

Sometimes it might be too high and sometimes it might be too low! You might not even know what numbers are high and low and how to manage it, but high blood pressure is one of the defining health issues of our time – and one of the deadliest. So, what’s it all about – and, more importantly, what can we do to keep ours down?
What is blood pressure and how is it measured?
Blood pressure is the force our hearts use to pump blood around our body. The higher the pressure, the greater the force – and the strain on our heart and arteries.
Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury and is given as two numbers:
Systolic pressure – the pressure when your heart pushes the blood out.
Diastolic pressure – the pressure when your heart is resting.
So, if your blood pressure is 130 over 90, your heart pumps at a pressure of 130 mg of mercury and rests at 90.
Healthy blood pressure is between 90/60 and 120/80. Over 140/90 is considered high – and needs attention: your heart is working overtime and your arteries are under stress. If you’re between 120/80 and 140/90 you’re what doctors call ‘pre-hypertensive’ – which may mean you’re on the way to developing high blood pressure.
So what’s the problem?
Left untreated, high blood pressure can lead to serious health problems. Although our arteries are stretchy, high blood pressure makes them stiff and narrow. This means they’re more likely to get clogged up. Which is seriously bad news. It can lead to strokes, heart attacks, kidney failure, sight problems and even dementia.
What causes high blood pressure?
Although background and genetics play a part – it can run in families, and is more prevalent if you’re of black African or Caribbean origin – most of us get high blood pressure through lifestyle. And it’s the usual suspects: smoking, overdoing the alcohol, not exercising, carrying too much weight, plus there’s a strong association with eating a lot of salt. Links between stress and high blood pressure are contested, but there’s no doubt that stress-busting changes in lifestyle, such as regular exercise and a healthy diet, can help lower your blood pressure.
How do I know if I’ve got high blood pressure?
Well it’s mostly symptomless – which is why it can be a silent killer. The following though can be signs that your blood pressure might be too high:
- Chest pain
- Shortness of breath
- Blurred vision
The only sure way to find out is to get your blood pressure tested. The British Heart Foundation recommend healthy adults over 40 get checked every five years – more frequently if you know you’re at risk.
What can I do if I’ve got high blood pressure?
If your doctor thinks you’ve got a problem, they might prescribe drugs, like ACE inhibitors, which can be effective. But the good news is that even if you’re on medication, there are real changes you can make to help bring it down. The following are proven to help lower blood pressure:
- Eat savvy – choose a healthy, plant-based diet, low in fat, red meat and alcohol – but high in fruit, veg and wholegrain carbs
- Keep active – find smart ways to get a little exercise into your daily routine, as little as 150 minutes a week (which can be broken down into 5 x 30) will work wonders
- Watch your weight – a healthy diet and regular exercise can help shed pounds
- Stay off the cigarettes – and go light on the alcohol
If you’re looking for a quick blood pressure check you can either book an appointment at your local doctors surgery or pop to your local Active Nation venue for a check, it only takes a couple of minutes.
Know your numbers
Each year in early September a campaign run by Blood Pressure UK aims to get people checking their blood pressure. We are a huge fan of this and try to support and raise awareness wherever we can. To play your part, just drop by for a quick and free blood pressure check, it could be a life saver! | <urn:uuid:a7610702-da78-4243-a748-b4ad6fbd6209> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://activenation.org.uk/thelocker/blood-pressure-know-your-numbers/ | 2024-02-23T11:02:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.930713 | 893 |
For the last few weeks I have been doing something for me I have not done in years and that is believing in the fact I can and will make better choices in my eating. While I was with my sister in Montreal, she and her husband have been exploring a low carb, low sugar lifestyle and at first I thought there is no way I can do that. I love my chocolate (hourly) and my cookies (by the sleeve) and there is my favorite all time thing to make scones.
I am thrilled to say this was a great way to learn about myself and my eating habits and that I have not had Chocolate, or cookies in more than 11 days. I actually have not even missed them, but I did miss scones. Honestly though I feel so much better, I am less tired, my clothing is fitting much looser and I don't have heartburn anymore that I was constantly plagued with. I am amazed at just how much more energy I have and how much calmer I feel.
That being said, Fridays I like to have friends over in the morning for tea and scones, yesterday I tried a recipe that I found online but I made it my own.
Karen's Almond Meal Vanilla Scones. *
2 cups of Almond Flour (also known as Almond Meal, Ground Almonds)
1/4 cup of cold butter (cut in small squares or chopped finely)
1/4 cup of Steeva
1 tsp Vanilla
2 tsp Baking Powder
In a medium bowl measure out your Almond Flour but do not pack it down, add your butter and cut the butter into the almond with your pastry blender. Try not to pack the dough you want to get as much air into it as possible. If you over mix it you will end up with a tough dough. Add your Steeva, and vanilla. crack the egg into the mixture and combine. Add the baking powder. Place the mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour.
Next use a medium sized ice cream scoop to form your scones. You can pack them if you want but I did loose scoops. I placed them on a piece of parchment on my cookie sheet and baked them at 400 until the edges were golden brown.
I picked some early raspberries from the yard and enjoyed a few with my scones and butter. I also delighted in sharing them with friends.
Thank you for joining me here today for a cup of tea and a recipe. Let me know if you make them and how you like them.
*The original recipe I found had more almond meal and milk, however I found that I did not need to add the milk as my mixture was already soft enough.
I would love to hear from you so please leave me a comment here or email me at [email protected] | <urn:uuid:a952eb01-5479-488b-955d-aaa8ce4e33f7> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://acupofteaandacozymystery.blogspot.com/2018/06/karens-almond-meal-vanilla-scones.html | 2024-02-23T09:35:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.981859 | 590 |

Project Type: Covered Patio Addition
Location: Shaker Heights, OH
Timeline: 6-8 Weeks
Investment: $60,000 +
The owners of this one‐of‐a‐kind 1923 English manor estate wanted to extend their outdoor living space. With the kitchen undergoing a major redesign, it was essential for us to design the patio simultaneously to ensure a seamless flow between the two spaces.
In order to design the permanent structure our client desired, the new patio roof would need to coordinate well with the main roof. We were careful to incorporate details consistent with the character of the home including copper gutters and copper flashing where the new roof connects to the home. The gas fireplace was designed with brick to match the home’s exterior. It was designed and built with a low profile to avoid blocking the view of the backyard and pool area. The new stamped concrete provided the look of rustic stone pavers and coordinated well with the timber-framed structure. | <urn:uuid:b56f4a3b-3cff-40bd-be4a-45e631323202> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://advanceremodel.com/portfolio/bring-the-outdoors-in/ | 2024-02-23T09:45:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.961156 | 203 |
While schools are closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, museums and heritage organisations are recalibrating their programming from the traditional in-person visitor focus towards wider online audiences.
English Heritage, for example, has announced a new five-part series of free history lessons throughout April and May, all of which will be hosted by CBBC presenter Ben Shires.
“Normally as term begins, we’d be welcoming thousands of schoolchildren to our historic sites,” notes Dr Dominique Bouchard, English Heritage’s head of learning and interpretation. “Instead we’re now bringing these landmarks to kids at home. Our lessons will bring history to life and help families during this very challenging time.”
Each 30-minute episode will be made available on English Heritage’s Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Twitch channels, with the presenter joined live by experts from the organisation’s curatorial team.
This is the latest addition to English Heritage’s ‘History at Home’ hub, a new online resource of videos, podcasts, articles and activity sheets to engage the public with history.
Another endeavour to keep Britain historically educated is Dig School. Funded by Historic England’s Heritage Schools programme, the project will see Time Team experts and the Council for British Archaeology joining forces to deliver free online archaeology workshops for teachers and home-schooling families.
The initiative is the brainchild of Professor Carenza Lewis, known for her role in archaeology TV series Time Team and now as Professor for Public Engagement at the University of Lincoln.
“Week by week, students can enjoy developing new ideas, interests, knowledge, and transferrable skills for life and learning, leading up to real excavations,” she explains. “We hope it will help pupils and teachers at this difficult time.”
The online materials made available through Dig School include interactive challenges, enquiries, puzzles, games and investigations.
“Learning and discovery is at the heart of archaeology,” says Neil Redfern, executive director at the Council for British Archaeology. “Dig School will ensure that we can find ways to innovate around the current challenges and engage young people of all abilities and backgrounds in archaeology.”
Imperial War Museums is another institution heading up the effort to provide educational support during this difficult time. It has unveiled a range of new digital programming designed to connect isolated families with history resources.
The programme will feature weekly instalments of video content and complementary challenges, games and activities. All of which have been inspired by real life stories and the Imperial War Museums’ diverse collections.
New opportunities to explore the museums’ spaces and historic sites with virtual tours form part of this new frontier, including online access to IWM Duxford’s American Air Museum and the Churchill War Rooms which will be available soon.
“While our doors are temporarily closed, we want to bring IWM’s stories, collections and educational resources to homes everywhere,” notes Susie Thornberry, assistant director of public engagement and learning at Imperial War Museums.
“We believe we are a museum of extraordinary times and, at a time when children are off school and life as we know it is disrupted and uncertain, we hope our new digital programme will give families, teachers and carers a unique way to engage with history.”
Kid’s TV presenter Ben Shires will also be fronting some of IWM’s output, with episodes of the Adventures in History series being uploaded on the museum group’s website and YouTube channel every Wednesday at 2pm. Digital resources made available during lockdown will be tailored to all age ranges and will chart the full breadth of IWM’s collections. | <urn:uuid:7fed8166-4a2f-4b9f-8fa6-93235dccc61b> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://advisor.museumsandheritage.com/news/museums-and-heritage-sector-unites-to-deliver-history-lessons-during-school-closures/ | 2024-02-23T09:39:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.946581 | 789 |
Video Sunday – Lazy Sunday Edition
Ho-hum. Not much to report today. Just two films and a webcomic. It’s a lovely lazy Sunday and life’s too short to sit inside when the sun’s all shiny and the sky all blue.
What better time to show you the animated version of Animal Farm then? Thanks to Children’s Illustration, I can display for your peepers this piece of rather lovely animation. And ah-one, and ah-two…
I am actually too terrified to watch any further, but there appear to be further parts of this movie on YouTube. Seek them out, if you so desire.
Now, they say that the kind of Beatle you get a crush on determines quite a lot about your personality. I say the same thing is true of Monty Python actors. You’ve your Michael Palin groupies (an easy choice, if you ask me). John Cleese for the folks who like ’em tall. And no one really goes for Terry Gilliam, though I’m sure he’s perfectly nice. I think I was always an Eric Idle fan at heart. Why? Look no further than the following.
I love you, Eric!
Finally, thanks to the efforts of one J.P. of Washington D.C., I bring you a selection from my new favorite webcomic. This, in spite of the fact that my friend Dan recently sent me to a site that specifically criticizes webcomics out there.
In any case, please be so good as to go here to see my profession accurately pinpointed within an inch of its life.

Next, decide what kind of policy you want. There are several types of life insurance available. Base your decision on what you can comfortably afford and your current and future financial goals.
Finally, carefully review all policy documents. A life insurance agent can provide clarity on any information or policy language you do not understand. If you have special considerations, do not hesitate to inform one of our team members.

Addressing the challenges faced, including the monopoly, the pandemic, and organizational changes, Grixti emphasized the need for reflection, consultation, and renewal. He marked the occasion as the beginning of “MDIA 2.0,” hinting at the upcoming changes to be detailed by the new CEO, Kenneth. Grixti reminisced about MDIA’s early days, recalling the curiousity and interest it garnered. He highlighted MDIA’s pivotal role in Malta’s tech ecosystem, contributing to a remarkable 300 percent growth in the country’s digital economy over the past decade. Reflecting on the initial skepticism surrounding MDIA’s policies, Grixti acknowledged the current recognition of the authority’s expertise and emphasized the importance of embracing innovation. Grixti outlined MDIA’s strategic objectives for 2025, focusing on service provision, governance, policy, and PR and communications. He underscored the commitment to fostering trust in innovative technologies and the importance of collaboration with other entities.

The first keynote speech was delivered by Kenneth Brincat, CEO of the Malta Digital Innovation Authority (MDIA), who emphasized the transformative journey of MDIA in the rapidly evolving landscape of technology. The CEO highlighted MDIA’s evolution, initially focusing on regulatory and certification programs, with a shift in priorities triggered by the digital transformation accentuated by the challenges of 2020.

He explained the initial focus on securing users and consumers from scams and the loss of millions of euros in the crypto space globally. Prof Ellul discussed the challenges posed by emerging technologies such as blockchain, distributed ledger technologies (DLPs), and AI, questioning the necessity of regulating these technologies that can have far-reaching societal impacts.
Prof Ellul discussed Malta’s progressive stance on crypto regulations, noting that the European Union (EU) is yet to catch up with the country’s level of assurances. He highlighted the challenges posed by decentralized code and urged the need for assurances in rapidly evolving technologies like AI.
Looking ahead, Prof Ellul encouraged Malta to remain at the forefront of technology regulation, leveraging its five-year head start when the EU implements more regulations. He pondered the role of regulatory technology in achieving assurances through decentralized code and AI, signalling a potential avenue for future exploration.
Prof. Gordon Pace: MDIA’s Transformative Approach to Shape the Future
In a recent keynote address, Prof. Gordon Pace, University of Malta, provided insights into the forthcoming AI strategy set to guide the nation through 2023-24. Emphasizing the need to look beyond the past and focus on the future, Prof. Pace outlined MDIA’s commitment to regulating, encouraging, and supporting the growth of AI.
Reflecting on the implementation process, Prof. Pace stressed the need for agility in strategy, given the rapid evolution of technology. He underlined the importance of aligning the strategy with global developments, particularly in response to the EU’s AI Act and the changing landscape of ethical considerations.
As MDIA prepares for the 2023-24 strategy, Prof. Pace detailed the stakeholder-heavy consultation process initiated in August 2023. The involvement of diverse stakeholders, including private sector users and developers of AI, is seen as pivotal in ensuring relevance and ownership of the upcoming strategy.
Prof. Pace unveiled the structure of the upcoming strategy, emphasizing its alignment with local and international policies, the EU AI Act, advancements in AI technology, and emerging ethical frameworks. The strategy’s core will focus on key elements: data, infrastructure, cultivating an informed public and skills, and regulation and policy transformation.
Recognizing the need for ongoing relevance, Prof. Pace emphasized the incorporation of monitoring and realignment mechanisms directly into the strategy. This approach aims to maintain an agile and adaptive strategy, minimizing the need for major overhauls.
In conclusion, Prof. Pace invited feedback from stakeholders on the strategy’s structure, process, and the identification of niche areas. The interactive and consultative approach underscores MDIA’s commitment to a collaborative and inclusive vision for Malta’s AI future.
Panel Discussion on AI and Well-being
In the first panel discussion, entitled “Exploring the Intersection of AI and Well-being, and How it Contributes to Sustainability,” experts gathered to delve into various aspects of technology, regulations, and their impact on society.

Prof. Dingli emphasized the importance of educating teachers about the potential of AI, particularly in the context of Chedricity, an accessible technology that allows children to interact with teachers and complete assignments online.
Prof. Dingli encouraged educators to view AI as a tool that provides “superpowers” to teachers, enabling them to accomplish tasks more efficiently and creatively. He emphasized the need for a national education strategy to equip teachers with the skills needed to adapt to the changing educational landscape.
The discussion also touched upon the responsibility of using AI tools appropriately, with Prof. Dingli sharing a personal experience about guiding his own children in using AI for educational purposes while emphasizing the importance of academic honesty.
Moving on to the ethical aspects of AI, Dr. Deandra Cutajar addressed the inherent biases present in data, acknowledging that bias is a reflection of human input. She highlighted the need for understanding the source of bias, distinguishing between discriminatory and non-discriminatory bias, and employing human intervention to mitigate biases.
Perit David Xuereb shifted the focus to the societal impact of AI and automation, emphasizing the potential for a significant economic revolution. He discussed the importance of upskilling and reskilling the workforce to ensure a just transition that benefits individual well-being and sustains economies in the face of technological advancements.
The panel also explored the regulatory landscape, with Dr. Ian Gauci shedding light on the recently introduced EU AI Act. Dr. Gauci detailed the act’s focus on defining AI, identifying high-risk applications, and implementing conformity assessment processes. He highlighted the role of standards in shaping the legal provisions and ensuring accountability in AI deployment.
In conclusion, the panelists underscored the need for a balanced approach to AI, combining technological advancements with ethical considerations, education, and regulatory frameworks. The exploration of AI’s intersection with well-being and sustainability continues to be a critical conversation as society navigates the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence.

A key focus was on the need to reshape Malta’s economic model. Mr. Camilleri stressed the importance of moving towards higher value-added sectors, emphasizing the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and the digital world in achieving this transformation.
The discussion shifted to the strategic alignment of AI, with Ms. Mamo underscoring the importance of advancing AI at the machine level and increasing the adoption of AI by businesses. She highlighted the European target of having 75 percent of companies using AI in the coming years and emphasized the need for businesses to view digital investments as valuable pillars in their strategies.
Dr. Castillo brought attention to the challenges and opportunities in AI adoption. She discussed customer expectations and the importance of transparency when interacting with AI systems. The conversation also touched on the potential of AI in enhancing customer service, personalization, and data-driven decision-making.
The panelists collectively emphasized the importance of collaboration between academia, industry, and government to overcome challenges in AI adoption. The role of academia in conducting rigorous research and providing valuable insights for businesses was underscored.

An intoxicating experience
Kaua’i Marathon and Half
I keep reliving the moments of pre-race joy as hundreds of men and women gazed at one another in the dark. At 05.45, almost 1900 runners gather together and head toward the start line – some arm-in-arm, some solo.
A race of superlatives
July 20 2009
The Matterhorn is considered to be the most beautiful mountain in the world and decorates the front page of nearly all guidebooks.
Between fjords and mountains
Fjord Norway Half Marathon
The course is fun and it starts and ends close to the stadium. The course is is charming because it goes through the streets of the town and its surrounding natural environment, with a lot of spectators and several bands playing. It’s very different from a marathon in a big city.
Tortured minds, tortured bodies
Charmayne Wellington wonders at the damage runners inflict upon themselves, and encourages a self-questioning attitude to athletic injury.

Your company registered address is the address listed in the records of the Hong Kong government.
Here’s 6 tips about the registered address of your Hong Kong company.
Why Does Your Company Need a Registered Address?
According to Section 658 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance of Hong Kong, all Hong Kong companies must have a registered office address in Hong Kong.
This is the address where all communications and government notices can be sent.
All of these letters have a set submission deadline attached. A late fee will incur if that deadline is missed.
This registered address is only used for the administrative registration of your company and not for official business use.
This means that a company can have its actual business address at a location different from its registration address.
A company address shall meet the following conditions:
- It has to be a location where all communications and notices can be received
- It has to be a physical address in Hong Kong
- It cannot be a P.O. box
Based on applicable regulations, a Hong Kong company is also required to display its name and liability status in legible characters at its registered office address and every business venue.
The company name should be easily seen and positioned in the stated above premises for all visitors.
Can You Use a Residential Address as a Registered Address?
Your company address is not limited to commercial or office locations.
This means that a residential address could also be used as a registered office address for a company.
If you decide to use a residential location as a registered address, you should:
- check whether your tenancy agreement allows its usage as a registered office address
- ensure that all communications and notices including government notices can be received during business hours
- ensure that you comply with the obligation to display the company name continuously at the premises
- remember that the address will be made into public information as the registered office address of a business can be easily found
Considering all of these points, most entrepreneurs prefer having another registered office address even if they continue to run their business from home for privacy.
The standard practice is to use the registered address services of a professional company secretary such as Air Corporate.
This ensures compliance and also avoiding any mistake in timely receipt or handling of government notices.
Do You Need to Keep Your Company Documents at the Registered Address?
Most companies choose to keep their company documents and statutory records (such as the registers of members, register of directors, significant controllers register) at their registered office address.
However, this is not compulsory. The statutory records can be kept at another address in Hong Kong.
In this case, a NR2 Form shall be filed with the Companies Registry regarding the address at which the statutory records are kept.
What Are the Benefits of Using Air Corporate’s Registered Office Services?
Using the registered address services of Air Corporate guarantees compliance with applicable laws.
We bring you piece of mind by:
- ensuring immediate attention to government notices which may have a return deadline or be subject to late filing penalties (e.g. tax return, business registration renewal demand note and mandatory survey, etc.)
- avoiding the pitfalls of using a residential address as discussed above
- ensuring that your company name is always properly displayed at our office in legible characters
- enjoying an office address located in prestigious Hong Kong central business districts, ensuring immediate credibility from potential investors and customers. This address can be used on business cards, websites, letterheads and other corporate documents
- ensuring that you do not have to report to the authorities, your bank and your business cards each time you move your actual operations to another location
- not having to an actual office, which can be expensive in Hong Kong. This is especially relevant if you carry your business from outside of Hong Kong
How Can You Change Your Registered Address to Air Corporate?
If you decide to use our registered address services, we will take care of everything for you. This includes:
- Informing your previous service provider
- Preparing the applicable company resolutions for the address change
- Reporting the address change to the Companies Registry of Hong Kong and the Inland Revenue Department (preparation and filing of IRC3111A and NR1 Form)
- Helping you in notifying your bank and other business partners about the change of address
Please note that any change of address must be reported to the Companies Registry within 15 days to avoid penalties.
What Is Included In Our Registered Address Service?
Air Corporate offers different incorporation packages available. Some include a registered address service.
We provide more than just an administrative address. Our team opens and scans government letters, your bank statements, and other correspondence.
It is a hassle-free service. You can also expect prompt and reliable updates, so you can focus your efforts on developing your business.
Our services notably include:
- Virtual office address and registered address services
- Display of company name and liability status in legible characters
- Statement of confirmation of address available upon request
- Scanning letter services
- Mailing letter services
- Daily letter/parcel notifications via email
- Address for use as a mailing address (on name cards, letterheads, etc.)
- Receipt of normal mail, airmail, parcels or registered mails
If you have not incorporated with us, or if you have not appointed us as company secretary for your company, simply contact us if you need a registered address or virtual office address.
Focus on your business, we take care of the rest. | <urn:uuid:f224accf-da2a-43c4-b0d8-e096605e7561> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://air-corporate.com/blog/registered-address-for-your-hong-kong-company/ | 2024-02-23T09:12:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.947481 | 1,126 |
Vickers Valiant Airplane Models
Discover our collection of diecast models of the Vickers Valiant - Expertly Crafted, Historically Notable, and Collectible Aircraft Models.
The Vickers Valiant was one of Britain's V-bombers, used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the Cold War era as part of its nuclear deterrent force. First flown in the 1950s, the Valiant was a jet-powered strategic bomber, notable for its role in high-altitude bombing, photo-reconnaissance, and in-flight refueling missions. It was the first of the V-bombers to become operational and played a key role in developing RAF's strategic nuclear capabilities.
Significant in its pioneering of jet-powered strategic bombing, the Valiant also participated in various non-nuclear roles, including conventional bombing and maritime reconnaissance. Its operational career, though relatively short due to structural issues, was marked by its participation in the Suez Crisis and its role in the early years of the Cold War. The Valiant's sleek design and historical significance make it a fascinating subject for military aviation enthusiasts and model collectors. | <urn:uuid:67cc1d6d-d754-4625-aa42-6a8acd1e8e21> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://airmodels.net/422-valiant | 2024-02-23T09:28:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.962029 | 229 |

As the number of organisations involved in agile software development in the Global Software Development context is rising, there is a need for comprehensive research on distributed agile practices. Numerous papers have been published prescribing how distributed agile should be employed but do not provide enough information on the context of use. However, the successful use of a methodology depends on a broader and more tacit understanding of the usage context and it is inappropriate to assume that practitioners can merely apply prescribed sets of agile best practices and expect them to success. As such, this study proposes another perspective on agile software development by exploring the underlying forces shaping agile practices. Instead of merely prescribing sets of best practices, the reasons why distributed agile practices (as embodied by the Scrum methodology) are adapted and followed were investigated. By appreciating the various contextual factors shaping most of their decisions pertaining to how agile practices are adapted and followed, it is hoped that practitioners would make more informed decisions which would meet the needs of most stakeholders.

For those of you who don’t know me let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am a second-generation franchisee, but my path to becoming a franchisee may be a little different than most would assume. My father started working for KFC Corporation in the early 70’s, and believe it or not, it wasn’t at a KFC restaurant, it was at a concept called Kentucky Roast Beef. This was at a time when a sandwich concept called Arby’s had hit the scene and was rapidly expanding. KFC Corporation had decided that it wanted to compete in this emerging market and did so by opening several locations in the Las Vegas, NV area. My father applied at, and started working at one of these locations and quickly moved his way up to Manager within a year or so. It was no surprise that the Kentucky Roast Beef concept didn’t survive, but one good thing came out of it, my father had gotten noticed. Before his restaurant closed his superiors asked him to move over and manage a nearby Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant. He did so, and quickly became one of the top Managers in Las Vegas, and within a few years was running the busiest location in the market.
I am going to skip a few years and say that my father eventually came across an opportunity to purchase a KFC franchise in 1980 in a small Oregon town named Klamath Falls. The franchisee was so impressed with my dad that he offered to owner finance the loan, but they had to make a balloon payment of 20k after 90 days. This restaurant was only doing 375k a year, but my dad and uncle who became partners to do this acquisition believed in its potential. To meet their balloon payment obligation, they worked the next 3 months with only 1 other employee all day and night and believe it or not actually set up cots in the back room for them to sleep on at night. The times sure have changed! Since I am here writing this, you know that they were able to save enough money to pay their balloon payment and the rest as they say is history.
Throughout the years my older brother and I worked for my dad and uncle as they expanded their business from 1 location to 5. We each started out as cooks working for free for the first year, then moved up $1 per hour each year until we were making minimum wage which at the time was $3.35! We worked through High School, and then summers when we came home from college, until we eventually moved on to other careers. Todd went to med school and worked in open heart surgery, and I started a travel agency that brought Japanese tourists over from Japan to Oregon to take them on adventure tours such as snow skiing, snowmobiling, river rafting, etc. After 5 years of working in surgery, Todd had had enough of the stress and approached me to open a KFC on our own. Unfortunately, or in hindsight, fortunately for me, my business was not doing well because Japan was going through a recession and few Japanese were traveling abroad. The next year was packed with he and I researching out places we could build a new restaurant by studying the population counts in the back of a road atlas. This was of course before the internet was invented by Al Gore. We finally found a spot on the Oregon coast that had previously had a KFC but had closed because the previous franchisee had gone bankrupt. It took us the next year and a half to find a piece of property, qualify for a SBA loan, and finally, work with architects, and a contractor to get the restaurant built. Our father gave us lots of advice and help, but in the end, it was all on us to make this happen and put our future on the line like he had done 15 years before. As we were about to find out, sometimes history repeats itself. We planned for this restaurant to do about 20k a week, and as luck would have it, it did close to 40k. We were not prepared for this, and so for the next few months, we worked all day everyday just like our father had done before us, although we had the help of our younger brothers and of course Dad came and worked the pack-line like a pro!
Over the next 3 years we built 4 more restaurants in towns that had previously closed KFC’s. We worked extremely hard, trained a lot of people, and learned more than we ever did at college! Ok, I learned more, Todd was smart already.
Since our humble beginnings we have continued to build and acquire restaurants and count ourselves lucky that we get to work with incredible people in an incredible brand with rich history! A history that we learned by volunteering in our region, which got us involved at the national level, which helped us forge lasting friendships and immeasurably helped in our success! If you have held back on getting involved, there is no time like the present!
One of my favorite quotes is by Karen Salmansohn “The best things in life are often waiting for you at the exit ramp of your comfort zone.”
I look forward to working with all of you over the next year to make our AKFCF even better!

Lithofacies definition in the subsurface is an important factor in modeling, regardless of the scale being at reservoir or basin level. In areas with low exploration level, modeling of lithofacies distribution presents a complicated task as very few inputs are available. For this purpose, a case study in the Požega Valley was selected with only one existing well and several seismic sections within an area covering roughly 850 km2. For the task of expanding the input data set for lithofacies modeling, neural network analysis was performed that incorporated interpreted lithofacies (sandstone, siltite, marl, and breccia-conglomerate) in a single well and attribute data gathered from a seismic section. Three types of different neural networks were used for the analysis: multilayer perceptron, radial-basis function, and probabilistic neural network. As a result, three lithofacies models were built alongside a seismic section based upon predictions acquired from the neural networks. Three lithofacies were successfully predicted on the section while the breccia-conglomerate was either missing or underpredicted and mostly positioned in a geologically invalid interval. Results obtained by single networks differed from one another, which indicated that a result from a single network should not be treated as representative; thus, the facies distribution for modeling should be acquired from either an ensemble of neural networks or several neural networks. Analysis showed the initial potential of the usability of neural networks and seismic attribute analysis on vintage seismic sections with possible drawbacks of the applications being pointed out. | <urn:uuid:b544b144-b4fa-4b8b-8e33-5cf5d79167e7> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://akjournals.com/search?access=all&f_0=author&pageSize=10&q_0=Bruno+Safti%C4%87&sort=relevance&t=Earth | 2024-02-23T09:16:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.952127 | 316 |
On Wednesday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a news briefing that annexation of the West Bank was ultimately an "Israeli decision" and that that the United States would share their views on this matter with Israel privately. His remarks came a just two days after a new Israeli unity government was ushered in following a deal between incumbent Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his political rival and head of the Blue and White alliance, Benny Gantz.
As part of the agreement, Netanyahu will serve as prime minister for another 18 months, after which, Gantz will supposedly take over. It will also allow him to pass legislation to annex large swaths of the West Bank from July 1.
The annexation of Palestinian land occupied in 1967 is illegal under international law, yet the reality is that the occupation of the West Bank has been de facto annexation. The Israeli regime is now looking to extend its sovereignty through de jure annexation which would put much of the West Bank under Israeli law, leaving only a few small pockets of densely populated Palestinian bantustans.
Many Liberal Zionists saw Gantz's Blue and White coalition as a viable alternative to the corrupt reign of Netanyahu, while many foreign diplomats hoped he would be a "partner for peace". This despite the fact that Gantz made it clear that he was going to pursue annexation throughout his election campaigns.
In response to the unity government's declared annexation position and Pompeo's comment, several EU member states warned and "strongly advised" against Israeli annexation of Palestinian land in the West Bank. Meanwhile, Jordan has also repeatedly stated that it "rejects" steps towards annexation.
These most recent condemnations follow a familiar pattern of weak statements being issued whenever the Israeli regime breaches international law, with no threat of repercussions. Indeed, committing war crimes is always an Israeli decision, and the response of the international community is always to ignore them.
The fact that Israeli political leaders across the political spectrum are pursuing annexation is hardly surprising. Expansionism into Palestinian land is the raison d'etre of the Israeli regime and has been since its foundation. Israeli settlement building has never ceased since 1948 when the ethnic cleansing of historic Palestine began. And it was a so-called left-wing Israeli government that spearheaded the settlement enterprise in the West Bank and Gaza following their occupation in 1967.
The Palestinian leadership reacted to these latest developments with more of the same fiery rhetoric and empty threats. Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas once again threatened to "completely cancel" agreements with Israel and the US if Israel proceeded with annexation and warned that Palestinians would "not stand hand-cuffed". | <urn:uuid:34fcb00a-0224-432c-b640-380e131a3646> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://al-shabaka.org/op-eds/how-should-palestinians-respond-to-israeli-threats-of-annexation/ | 2024-02-23T10:06:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.973788 | 530 |

Monday, June 24th, 2013
One of my favorite courses that I taught this past academic year was an upper-level class on the art of the Catholic Counter-Reformation. My students were required to write research papers with original arguments on topics of their choice. I was pleased to see that two of my students, Peg Anderson and Chloe Froom, were undaunted by the mounds of already-existing research for two popular Baroque artists, Bernini and Caravaggio. They have given me permission to share a little of their research and arguments here. I’m pleased that I got to play a small role in helping these students approach these topics, but the original arguments and ideas were entirely their own.
My student Chloe Froom argued that Bernini was deliberately influenced by Caravaggio when Bernini created Habakkuk and the Angel for the Chigi Chapel in Santa Maria del Popolo. The composition and subject matter of Habbakuk and the Angel is very similar to Caravaggio’s painting, Saint Matthew and the Angel (also known as the first version of The Inspiration of Saint Matthew). As can be seen through a direct comparison (see above), Bernini seems to deliberately mimic the extended leg of Caravaggio’s figure of Saint Matthew; this leg projects forward into the space of the viewer. Additionally, both works of art include an angel who lightly and lyrically extends an arm to engage in the the slightest bit of physical contact with the seated figure. Froom writes, “In both works, the angels are covered in delicate drapery [that is] revealing of their forms. There is a deep slit beginning at the top of the hip that continues to reveal the entire leg. Their abdomens are also exposed, Caravaggio’s caused by the sheerness of the fabric and Bernini’s by the parting of drapery.”1
At the time of Bernini’s commission for the Chigi Chapel, paintings by Caravaggio already were in place in another chapel within Santa Maria del Popolo, the Cerasi Chapel (namely, The Conversion of Saint Paul on the Road to Damascus and The Crucifixion of Saint Peter, which both date 1600-1601). Perhaps Bernini sought to create aesthetic continuity within these two Santa Maria del Popolo chapels by honoring Caravaggio’s style. It is almost certain that Bernini would have been familiar with Caravaggio’s painting Saint Matthew and the Angel. After this painting was rejected in 1602 for the Contarelli Chapel in San Luigi dei Francesi, it immediately entered the collection of the wealthy collector Vicenzo Giustiniani. Froom explains, “In 1590 the Giustiniani family bought the palazzo opposite S. Luigi dei Francesi and created the Palazzo Giustiniani. The family also had a villa outside the Porta del Popolo, where Bernini created his sculpture Habakkuk and the Angel. The Palazzo Giustiniani, along with their other villas, were filled with the family’s vast art collection and became a popular destination for many artists until the late 18th century. It is therefore, a definite possibility Bernini went into the Guistiniani Palazzo and villas…because he worked in close proximity to them.”2
Peg Anderson argued in her research that Bernini’s personal relationship with some of his patrons affected the way in which the figures were represented. For example, Anderson finds that the portrait of Cardinal Scipione Borghese depicts the figure in a very positive light, despite Borghese’s overweight frame. Such positive features include the relaxed, slightly-cocked head, and the soft, yet penetrating gaze of the sitter. Anderson also explored how Borghese was Bernini’s first major patron of the arts; this supportive and close relationship accounts for why Bernini cast his sitter in a positive light. In fact, Anderson even argues that the slightly-undone button in the cardinal’s clothing, is really a playful gesture (perhaps a sign of endearment, I think one could argue) on Bernini’s part.
Anderson writes, “He creates an accurate depiction of the sitter, however he portrays Scipione with the persona he would have wanted [contemporary] Romans to believe he possessed. In the Bust of Cardinal Scipione Borghese, Scipione the model appears to be spirited, approachable, and perhaps celebrated. Yet some accounts of Scipione differ from this depiction. The man was described by author Franco Mormando as ‘ruthless as any sociopath in his mad pursuit of money, power, and pleasure.'”3
For contrast, Anderson explored how Bernini had a negative relationship with Innocent X, which stemmed from Bernini’s ill-fated towers for Saint Peters. The towers were completed in 1644, although they were unstable and a crack had begun to appear before the towers were even completed. Two years later, in 1646, the Pope Innocent X ordered the towers to be torn down. A year later, Bernini completed his bust portrait of the pope, which is less flattering than the one he created of Scipione Borghese.
Anderson argues the following abut the Pope Innocent X portrait: “The sparkle that held the viewer’s gaze in Bust of Cardinal Scipione Borghese does not exist, there is not even a glimmer of hope in [this] old man. The eyes are empty, arguably hollow and absent. The furrowed brow only further contributes to the unpleasant facial expression. Bernini is not generous when he reflects the wrinkles he saw on Innocent X’s forehead, and deep creases in between the nose and mouth…the bust is portrayed standoffish, uninterested, inaccessible, and unable to please.”4
I’m proud of Chloe and Peg and the work that they did on this assignment. Their arguments are much more extensive than I have included here, but this post captures their gist of their research. Really, I had several fantastic research papers submitted from students who took my Counter-Reformation course. I wanted to highlight these two papers, though, because I worked quite a bit with these students during their research process and because I love Bernini’s art!
On a side note, people may be interested to see this online compilation of some of Bernini’s portraits. Additionally, if you would like to help ensure that Bernini’s bust of Francesco d’Este is able to go on public view again, you can donate to this fundraiser (there are only a few days left!).

3 Peg Anderson, “Bernini’s Portraits: Creating a Likeness,” unpublished, 2013. See also Franco Mormando, Bernini: His Life and His Rome (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2011), 46.
4 Anderson, 2013. Anderson finishes her paper by discussing Bernini’s caricature of another pope, Pope Innocent XI. Pope Innocent XI had issues with the figures of “Truth” (and “Charity”) that Bernini created for the tomb of Alexander in St. Peter’s; the pope found the figure’s exposed breasts to be indecent. The sculptures were accordingly modified, but left Bernini upset. As a result, Bernini may have created this caricature of the shriveled, skeletal and weak pope as a personal means to express his frustration. | <urn:uuid:bc025afe-976f-4fd4-9f4b-0950223a45e0> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://albertis-window.com/category/student-research/ | 2024-02-23T10:25:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.962695 | 1,639 |

Managing resident medication
Perhaps one of the most important elements of a resident’s care is the proper distribution of their medication. Think about it- these people are entrusting us with their life. The medication that often keeps them functioning and at times even alive rests in our care. That is why the Ohio Department of Health takes the following regulation so seriously. Check it out and see how you can keep your facility compliant:
Rule 3701-16-09 | Personal care services; medication administration; resident medications; application of dressings; supervision of therapeutic diets.
(E) A residential care facility may provide for the administration of medication to residents in accordance with division (B) of section 3721.011 of the Revised Code and this rule.
(1) All medication taken by residents of residential care facilities shall be self-administered, and members of the staff of a residential care facility shall not administer medication to residents, except that medication may be administered in accordance with division (B) of section 3721.011 of the Revised Code and paragraphs (G) and (H) of this rule.
(2) A residential care facility may admit or retain an individual requiring medication only if the individual is capable of taking his or her own medication and biologicals, as determined in writing by the person’s attending physician or other licensed healthcare professional working within their scope of practice, or if the facility provides for the administration of medication by:
(a) A home health agency certified under Title XVIII of the “Social Security Act,” 49 Stat. 620 (1935), 42 U.S.C. 301, as amended (1981);
(b) A hospice care program licensed under Chapter 3712. of the Revised Code; or
(c) A member of the staff of the residential care facility who is qualified to perform medication administration.
(F) Staff members may assist with self-administration of medication by doing any of the following once they have received training in providing the services, as required by paragraph (E) of rule 3701-16-06 of the Administrative Code:
(1) Remind a resident when to take medication, and watch to ensure that the resident follows the directions on the container;
(2) Assist a resident in self-administration of medication by taking the medication from the locked area where it is stored and handing it to the resident. If the resident is physically unable to open a container, a staff member may open the container for the resident. The staff member shall check the name on the prescription label and verify that the resident’s name on the prescription label corresponds to the resident requesting the medication before handing it to the resident. The staff member may read the label and directions on the medication container to the resident upon request. The staff member also may remind the resident and any other individual designated by the resident when prescribed medication needs to be refilled. Staff members shall not assist a resident with self-administration of a prescription medication that belongs to another resident;
(3) Assist a physically impaired but mentally alert resident such as, but not limited to, a resident with arthritis, cerebral palsy, or Parkinson’s disease, upon that resident’s request, in removing oral or topical medication from containers and in consuming or applying the medication upon request by or with the consent of the resident. If the resident is physically unable to place a dose of medicine to his or her mouth without spilling it, a staff member may place the dose in a container and place the container to the mouth of the resident. As used in this paragraph, “topical medication” means:
(a) Eye, nose, or ear drops excluding irrigations; and
(b) Medication used in the treatment of a skin condition or minor abrasion, excluding debriding agents; and
(4) Assist a resident with organizing the resident’s medications in a weekly pill organizer if the resident is able to differentiate between pills and actively participates in the organization. Nothing in this rule shall be construed to allow staff members to fill a weekly pill organizer for a resident.
(G) Medication shall be administered in accordance with accepted standards of practice to a resident in a residential care facility only by the following persons authorized by law to administer medication:
(1) A registered nurse;
(2) A licensed practical nurse holding proof of successful completion of a course in medication administration approved by the Ohio board of nursing pursuant to Chapter 4723. of the Revised Code who shall administer medication only at the direction of a registered nurse or physician;
(3) A physician; or
(4) A person authorized by law to administer medication.
(H) Residential care facilities that administer medication shall comply with all of the following:
(1) No medication shall be given to any resident unless ordered by a physician or individual authorized under state law to prescribe medications. Ordered medications shall be administered unless the resident refuses or the resident exhibits symptoms that contraindicate medication administration. If a medication is not administered, the staff member responsible for administering the medication shall document in the resident’s record why the medication was not administered. Telephone orders shall not be accepted by a person other than a licensed nurse, another physician or a pharmacist except that a licensed health professional may receive, document and date medication orders concerning his or her specific discipline, to the extent permitted by applicable licensing laws. If orders are given by telephone, they shall be recorded with the prescriber’s name and the date, and the order signed by the person who accepted the order. All telephone orders shall be signed by the physician who gave the order or other licensed health professional with prescriptive authority working under the supervision of or in collaboration with the physician within fourteen days after the order was given. The residential care facility may accept facsimile and electronic documentation of orders in accordance with paragraph (B)(4) of rule 3701-16-09.1 of the Administrative Code;
(2) All medications shall be given only to the individual resident for whom they are prescribed, given in accordance with the directions on the prescription or the physician’s or other authorized prescriber’s orders, and recorded on the resident’s medication record required by paragraph (I)(7) of this rule;
(3) The person who administers the medication shall observe the resident for adverse effects, contraindications, and medication effectiveness. Such person shall notify the resident’s attending physician or other licensed healthcare professional working within their scope of practice, of any undesirable effects and document these effects and the date and time of such notification in the resident’s medication record;
(4) Only administer drugs bearing the American hospital formulary service therapeutic class 4:00, 28:16:08, 28:24:08, or 28:24:92 with the authorization of the attending physician, after personal examination of the resident and documentation of the medical condition being treated and reasons for use of the drug and when necessary to treat a resident’s medical condition and to assist the resident to attain his or her highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. Drugs used for this purpose are not considered chemical restraints as defined in paragraph (L) of this rule; and
(5) Ohio board of pharmacy and United States drug enforcement administration regulations.
(I) Residential care facilities that handle residents’ medication shall:
(1) Not stock or dispense medicines or drugs which may be sold only by prescription unless the facility has in its employ, on either a full-time or part-time supervisory and consulting basis, a pharmacist registered under Chapter 4729. of the Revised Code, who will be in complete control of such stock and the dispensing thereof;
(2) Keep all prescription medications in locked storage areas, including drugs requiring refrigeration, except medications of residents living in individual units who self-administer their own medications may be stored in the resident’s unit if the resident and residential care facility take reasonable precautions to prohibit access to the medications by other residents;
(3) Assure that the labeling of prescription medicine and drugs meet the following criteria:
(a) Every container of medicine and drugs prescribed for a resident for self-administration or assistance by non-licensed health care personnel, shall be clearly labeled with the resident’s name, the proprietary or generic name of the medication dispensed and its strength, the name and address of the dispensing pharmacy, the name or initials of the dispensing pharmacist, the prescription number, the date dispensed, the name of the prescribing physician or individual authorized under state law to prescribe medications, and the instructions for use including any cautions which may be required by federal or state law. Containers too small to bear a complete prescription label shall be labeled with at least the prescription number and the dispensing date and shall be dispensed in a container bearing a complete prescription label;
(b) Medicines and drugs dispensed by a health care facility pharmacy for administration by a licensed nurse or physician to residents whereby the medicines and drugs are not in the possession of the resident prior to administration shall be clearly labeled in accordance with rule 4729-17-10 of the Administrative Code;
(c) Not repackage or relabel resident medications; and
(d) Ensure over-the-counter medications that are either administered by an individual acting within their scope of practice and based on a prescribers order, or given to residents capable of self-administration of medication, shall contain a United States food and drug administration label indicating, in part, the medication’s:
(iv) Accessory instructions;

The use of restraints in seniors brings about questions of ethical morality due to the application of restraints decreasing the autonomy and overall wellbeing of the person. This is especially true in the assisted living setting as it directly contradicts the goal of providing an independent environment for residents.
It is necessary for your entire clinical team to be well versed in the regulations that is applicable to their position. The Nursing Director or their designee should hold frequent refresher trainings and have processes put into place for all matters related to medication administration, storage, procurement as well as the destruction of expired or discharged medication. | <urn:uuid:7035e364-31ab-45cf-a2c4-e7c4e94181cc> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://alfboss.com/managing-resident-medication-oh/ | 2024-02-23T09:27:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.933473 | 3,592 |

The founders also revised their offer, giving 72 lakhs for 6% equity of the company.
After much negotiation, the final deal was closed with Amit for 72 lakhs at 6.5% equity of the company at the valuation of 11.07 crores. The sharks were pleased with the deal, and they saw a lot of potential for Dobiee's growth in the Indian market and beyond.
Dobiee's sales and revenue have been steadily increasing over the years, with lifetime sales of over 4 crores. The company sells its products through a network of distributors, stockists, and CNF agents. The MRP of a packet is 100 rupees, with a trade margin of 55 rupees. The price to distributors is 45 rupees, and the COGS is 22 rupees. This translates to a gross margin of 23 rupees per packet. The factory capacity utilization is 15 to 20%, leaving plenty of room for growth.
Dobiee's success story is a testament to the power of perseverance and hard work. The founders' dedication to bringing back the love for candies has paid off, and the company has become a household name in India.

Two years ago I noticed my parents were beginning to struggle to look after their three bedroom house.The garden was the first thing to suffer, my father had always been so meticulous with his shrubs, borders and the shade of green he wanted the lawn it was slightly upsetting to see him have to let it all go. He told me that he had lost interest in the garden but we all knew that it was his knees that were letting him down, his slow and reluctant steps to the upstairs toilet were testament to this.
He would never admit as much however and we soon noticed it wasn’t just the garden he and mum had allegedly lost interest in. The three bedroom house was the house I grew up in with my sister, a wonderful house for a family but too large for a woman in her 70s to keep regularly vacuumed and dust free. It was all clearly becoming a chore and I would be lying if I said that I didn’t often worry about them both.
It took over six months to convince them to move in with my wife and I. We had just purchased a similarly oversized house but they still took a lot of convincing that they would not be in our way. Having seen my father struggle with the stairs I had a stairlift installed before they moved in, my father was visibly irritated that I had gone to such an effort when he was ‘perfectly capable of using the legs God provided him with!’
He even suggested at a later date that had I asked him he would have helped me assemble it. I didn’t tell him that they installed by trained professionals – even if the thought of a walking DIY nightmare such as him assembling a stairlift brought an involuntary smile to my face – and he was soon advocating the benefits of stairlifts to anyone who would listen. Sometimes your parents need you to show them the way.
Following the success of the stairlift, we invested in a set of long handled gardening tools that allowed him to set to work in the garden – weeding, cutting and even planting. He had clearly missed gardening. Other little things we’ve changed seem to have gone unnoticed such as the big buttoned telephone and TV remote control, safety kettle and panic cord in the bathroom. | <urn:uuid:9dec33fb-1e8f-48a7-af07-9d01f5df6384> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://allensmith.org/how-to-improve-your-home-for-your-parents/ | 2024-02-23T09:44:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.996338 | 459 |

Paint is a liquid or malleable substance that, when applied to surfaces, forms a thin layer that solidifies to provide color, protection, or decoration. It typically consists of pigments (which give it color), a binder (which holds the pigment particles together), solvent (which thins the paint for application and evaporates as it dries), and additives (which enhance various properties like durability, drying time, or resistance to mold and mildew). Paints come in various types, including water-based (latex or acrylic), oil-based (alkyd), and specialty paints for specific purposes like automotive, industrial, or artistic applications.
There are several types of paint, each with unique properties and uses. Here are a few examples:
Also known as latex or acrylic paint, water-based paints use water as a solvent. They are commonly used for interior walls and ceilings due to their low odor, easy cleanup, and quick drying time.
– Oil-based Paint:
Oil-based paints, also called alkyd paints, use organic solvents like mineral spirits or turpentine. They offer a durable finish and are often used for trim, cabinets, and metal surfaces. However, they have a strong odor and require longer drying times.
– Thermoplastic Paint:
Thermoplastic paint contains thermoplastic materials that soften when heated and harden upon cooling. It’s commonly used for road markings, parking lots, and playgrounds due to its durability and reflective properties.
– Epoxy Paint:
Epoxy paint consists of epoxy resins and a curing agent. It creates a tough, chemical-resistant finish and is often used for garage floors, industrial equipment, and marine applications.
– Enamel Paint:
Enamel paint is a hard, glossy finish paint that can be oil-based or water-based. It’s known for its durability and smooth finish, making it suitable for trim, doors, and furniture.
– Spray Paint:
Spray paint is available in aerosol cans and is convenient for small projects or when a smooth, even finish is desired. It comes in various formulations for different surfaces and applications.
Each type of paint has its advantages and is chosen based on factors like the surface to be painted, desired finish, environmental considerations, and application method.
What are road paints?
Thermoplastic paint is a type of road marking paint that contains thermoplastic materials, such as resins, pigments, glass beads, and other additives. When heated to a certain temperature, typically around 200 to 220 degrees Celsius (392 to 428 degrees Fahrenheit), thermoplastic paint softens and becomes fluid, allowing it to adhere to the road surface. As it cools and solidifies, it forms a highly durable, wear-resistant, and reflective marking.
Thermoplastic paint is commonly used for road markings, parking lot lines, crosswalks, symbols, and other traffic signage due to its excellent visibility, longevity, and resistance to weathering and abrasion. It provides enhanced safety for drivers and pedestrians by improving visibility, especially during nighttime or adverse weather conditions.
In addition to its durability and reflective properties, thermoplastic paint offers several advantages over other types of road marking materials, including faster drying times, minimal traffic disruption during application, and reduced maintenance needs. It’s a popular choice for road authorities and contractors worldwide for its reliability and long-term cost-effectiveness in marking roadways.
Thermoplastic paint offers several advantages over other types of road marking materials, including:
Durability: Thermoplastic paint forms a durable, long-lasting marking that withstands heavy traffic, harsh weather conditions, and UV exposure better than traditional paints.
Reflectivity: Thermoplastic paint contains glass beads or other reflective materials, enhancing visibility at night or in low-light conditions, thereby improving road safety.
Quick drying: Thermoplastic paint dries quickly after application, allowing for faster reopening of roads to traffic and minimizing disruption.
Low maintenance: Thermoplastic markings require less frequent repainting and touch-ups compared to other materials, reducing maintenance costs and traffic disruptions.
Adhesion: Thermoplastic paint adheres strongly to various road surfaces, including asphalt and concrete, ensuring longevity and preventing premature wear or peeling.
Environmentally friendly: Thermoplastic paint formulations are available with low VOC (volatile organic compound) content, reducing environmental impact during application and throughout their lifespan.
Customization: Thermoplastic paint can be easily customized to create a wide range of road markings, symbols, and patterns to meet specific traffic management needs.
Overall, thermoplastic paint is a preferred choice for road marking applications due to its durability, visibility, quick application, and cost-effectiveness over the long term. | <urn:uuid:1e28252d-7f04-479b-9dc2-66c1d3ad9035> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://allnichespost.com/what-are-different-kinds-of-paint.html | 2024-02-23T11:07:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.948608 | 1,002 |

According to Ayurveda, the human body and everything in the universe is made up of five elements – water, earth, fire, air and ether (space). Just as water makes up over 70 per cent of planet Earth, our bodies also contain over 70 per cent water, with the other elements present in somewhat similar proportions to that of our planet. From the five elements, three subtle energies arise. These are ‘vata’ (composed of air and ether), ‘pitta’ (composed of fire and water) and ‘kapha’ (composed of water and earth).
Ayurveda teaches that health and well-being come from a harmonious balance of vata, pitta and kapha energy. All life forms possess these three qualities. Each individual has their own blend of the three and usually has at least one element that tends to get out of balance more easily than the others; this is termed our ‘dosha’. Dosha literally means ‘fault’ – it comes from ‘dush’, meaning error, and relates to the prefix ‘dys’, from Greek (as in ‘dysfunctional’).
What is Dosha? How to Use Dosha Photo Gallery
The combination of doshas you are born with is called your ‘prakriti’ or original constitution. It includes inherited traits, individual characteristics and tendencies such as body frame, eye colour, digestive capacity and emotional balance. While it is common for people to have nearly equal proportions of the three or just one predominant dosha, most people have two doshas that are more or less equally dominant, with the remaining one less dominant. For good health and wellbeing to be maintained, the three doshas within you need to be in balance. That doesn’t mean they need to be equal (unless you were born that way) but that you need to maintain your original doshic make-up throughout life as much as possible to maintain good health. Unfortunately, factors such as diet, lifestyle, climate, pollution, work, relationships and even the passage of time can cause one or more doshas in your prakriti to increase or decrease from its original level, creating ‘vikriti’ or imbalance. If this is not corrected, you can eventually lose good health. | <urn:uuid:7ddfbccc-13a2-4076-92ee-e6aede9ff79a> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://allyogapositions.com/what-is-dosha-how-to-use-dosha.html | 2024-02-23T10:24:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.962766 | 494 |
Invest in your child’s success with a psychoeducational evaluation! Every parent wants to help their child learn and grow, but sometimes, despite your best efforts, progress is stalled. The answer could be as simple as learning your child’s uniqueness and talents to empower their individual learning style.
Our expert evaluator will conduct a comprehensive and holistic assessment to provide you with recommendations and tools you need to capitalize on your child’s strengths and overcome their challenges.
-Google 5-Star Review
We offer comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations that are customized to meet the specific needs of your child, taking into account their unique characteristics.
Whether you are seeking an evaluation for the very first time, or are challenging the results of a school district’s evaluation, we will guide you through the process.
You cannot afford to waste time, resources, or energy on an incomplete or rushed evaluation. Our extensive, comprehensive, and holistic process ensures you see the full view of your child’s mental and emotional health.
Your concerns and questions deserve an assessment that is accurate and comprehensive enough to provide actionable and realistic recommendations.
We consider all aspects of your child’s life and will work closely with those most important and involved in their care and education.
An in-depth assessment will lead to specific and unique recommendations designed to help you help your child capitalize on their strengths and overcome their challenges.
Both a Psychoeducational Evaluation and an IEE, includes a psychologist working with those involved in a child’s learning or development to identify the child’s strengths and weaknesses. The goal of both evaluations is to enhance everyone’s ability to help the child be as successful as possible. An IEE is the formal/legal term for a Psychoeducational Evaluation that is approved and paid for by a child’s school or School District under specific circumstances. Typically, a school will perform their own evaluation and if you are dissatisfied with the results, you can request/petition for an IEE. Another key difference is a school’s evaluation does not typically include areas related to emotional challenges or behavior, where ours would. More information can be found through the Central Bucks School District.
Ally Psychological Services offers Psychoeducational / Independent Educational Evaluations for the following areas of concern:
If you, as the parent, disagree with the school district’s evaluation, you have the legal right to challenge the results and request an IEE done by a psychologist of your choosing. One of the main reasons to seek out an IEE from a psychologist of your choosing is to provide additional expertise and an objective opinion in order to best meet your child’s learning needs and ensure they receive the support they deserve. Additionally, school districts must consider the results of an IEE when determining the need for services and accommodations. If you feel you need additional support in fighting for your rights, we encourage families to contact Special Education Lawyers.
Usually, you and your child will come into the office for one visit, lasting approximately five hours (with breaks). Sometimes, you might need to come in for an additional briefer visit. When appropriate, we conduct school observations and meet with teachers, staff, and other professionals in the student’s school.
Our holistic and comprehensive evaluation costs $3,500*. This includes all interviews, assessments, and a feedback session where we go over the results and recommendations of the evaluation with you in detail.
Although we do not accept insurance, you may be entitled to reimbursement from your insurance company depending on your plan’s benefits and the type of evaluation provided.
We are happy to provide payment plans to our families as well with only $1,000 due at the start of the process. Currently, we accept cash, check, credit, debit, or your HSA/FSA card for payments. We will also provide you with a detailed invoice and Superbill upon request.
*An additional charge of $1,000 is required for any Forensic (legal) evaluation.
Absolutely! We pride ourselves on our efforts to collaborate with the important people in your child’s life. Examples of people we may ask to talk to include teachers, therapists, doctors, and family members. We understand the importance of this evaluation for your child’s success and will not take any shortcuts throughout the process.
Yup! When we complete the evaluation and have the results and recommendations ready we will sit down with you for a “feedback session.” During this session, we will review the results, recommendations, provide referrals, and answer any other questions you might have.
We are thrilled to be offering in-person evaluations. We follow strict guidelines to ensure our office is safe and clean for all of our clients. This includes wiping down high touch surfaces, spraying soft surfaces with disinfectant, and using FDA approved air purifiers to help protect against COVID and other illnesses. A portion of assessments, such as interviews, may be able to be completed virtually.
Psychoeducational testing isn’t always about concerns you may have. Sometimes, psychological testing is used to assess their readiness for school or the possibility that they may be gifted. If your child displays some of the traits of giftedness, such as advanced language skills and learning abilities, you might want to seek out psychological testing to determine whether they are gifted.
At Ally Psychological Services, you will receive a comprehensive IEE designed to identify your child’s specific learning needs. We will also work with your child’s school district to help ensure our recommendations are fully understood.

If you’ve ever stepped out onto your bike, you know that it’s not just a mode of transportation but an accessory as well. From the moment you put on your riding gear, you become part of the scene and atmosphere you want to create. Whether it’s for aesthetic purposes or to set yourself apart from other riders, it is essential for a memorable ride to choose good motorcycle clothing.
For starters, your clothing should be comfortable, durable, and easy to clean. Listed below are some tips on choosing the right clothing for different motorcycle occasions and conditions.
Buy Dry Items First
If you are new to motorcycle riding, you may find the weather conditions challenging. You can expect that the weather may change frequently and unpredictably, so be prepared for all conditions. Make sure to purchase a complete riding set that includes a waterproof jacket, pants, and boots.
Weather conditions affect your clothing in several ways. For example, if it is hot and humid, wearing a leather jacket and pants may result in moisture-wicking issues. At the same time, if it is rainy and windy, your leather-based gear will not only become heavy, but it’ll also become very slippery.
Match Your Riding Environment
When choosing your motorcycle clothing, you’ll want to pick the right colors and prints. You may want to pick a color scheme that complements the bike you’ll be riding, or you might want to choose a color that sets you apart from other riders.
Your next decision will be on the type of apparel you want to wear. Are you planning on riding in the city, on the highway, or a trail? These will help you decide what type of riding clothing to wear. If you’ll be riding in the city, a pair of leather pants will be more comfortable than a pair of cotton pants.
However, you’ll want to avoid wearing cotton when you’ll be riding on the highway. Water and oil will cling to cotton, making it messy and difficult to clean.
If You Ride In The Rain, Be Prepared!
There are many different types of motorcycle riding jackets and pants on the market, so it can be difficult to know which one to choose. To help you decide, here are a few things to consider when purchasing a rain jacket or riding jacket for your bike.
– Functionality – Is the jacket designed for the type of riding you do? For example, a touring jacket may have features that are more suited for off-road riding whereas a sports jacket may have more functional features for street riding.
– Fit – Make sure that the jacket you choose fits comfortably and securely around your body to prevent it from coming off unexpectedly.
– Durability – You want to make sure that your jacket is durable enough to withstand the regular wear and tear of riding while also being comfortable to wear. | <urn:uuid:35d44285-dd54-4066-9943-35075df1ed6d> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://american-wire.com/motorcycle-clothing-buyers-guide-and-tips-for-motorcycle-gear.html | 2024-02-23T11:32:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.953144 | 592 |

How many times have you heard someone on the radio or TV offering to protect your online reputation from malicious or fraudulent reviews? Believe it or not, with a little work, you can protect your own online reputation and keep your cash!
First, understand what we mean by your online reputation. Basically, whenever we talk about a business getting damaged by an online slight, it can be traced to a consumer-based review. Many sites exist that allow anyone to leave a review of any business. Unfortunately, these review sites are not policed or edited, creating opportunities for mischief, pranks, and outright lies.
It happened to me. One of my less ethical competitors wrote a false, scathing review about my company. I figured out it was him because he gave one-star reviews to all of the web design companies except his own (which earned 5 stars). Oh, and he used his real name when he made the review.
Yelp and Google Places are the two main third-party review sites. By searching these sites, you will cover roughly 80% of the reputation landscape on the Internet.
Google Alerts sends you daily or weekly emails of “mentions” of any keywords you choose. Right away, you need to create saved searches on your name and company name.
Finally, Social Mention makes it easy to search across numerous blogs, tweets, and other social sites for any keywords you choose.
But what do you do if someone gives you a negative review? Remember, most review sites, including Yelp and Google Places, have an “abuse” address you can make an appeal if you feel the review is fraudulent. However, unless the review contains bad language, racial remarks, or threatens you personally, they will take a hands-off approach.
If you find yourself “stuck” with a bad review, the only option you have is to “respond” to it. When you respond, take a professional tact. Remove all emotion from your response and avoid sarcasm. Most people expect a business to have a few bad reviews, but as long as you respond to them, the reader will see that you are responsive and attentive to customer service.
Eric Spellmann continues to be one of the highest rated speakers at our national America’s SBDC conferences. His unique view that small business websites should “do” something pushes against the standard “online pamphlet” view of most web design companies. He believes your customer’s websites should be driving qualified leads and sales on a weekly basis. Eric speaks at a number of other national and state conferences nationwide, but enjoys running one of the most successful web design companies in the country. He truly believes in the SBDC mission as it helped him start his own company many years ago.

As the sweeping crackdown in Turkey following a failed coup continues, Amnesty International fears that purges are being extended to censor media houses and journalists, including those critical of government policy.
“We are witnessing a crackdown of exceptional proportions in Turkey at the moment."
Andrew Gardner, Amnesty International’s Turkey researcher
“We are witnessing a crackdown of exceptional proportions in Turkey at the moment. While it is understandable, and legitimate, that the government wishes to investigate and punish those responsible for this bloody coup attempt, they must abide by the rule of law and respect freedom of expression,” said Andrew Gardner, Amnesty International’s Turkey researcher.
“Turkey’s people are still reeling from the shocking events of the weekend and it is vital that press freedom and the unhindered circulation of information are protected, rather than stiffled.”
Amnesty International has learned that the authorities arbitrarily blocked access to more than 20 news websites in the days following the coup attempt. Yesterday it was widely reported that the government revoked the licenses of 25 media houses in the country. In addition, 34 individual journalists have had their press cards cancelled and at least one journalist has had an arrest warrant issued against her for her coverage of the attempted coup.
Amnesty International is calling on the Turkish authorities to respect human rights and not arbitrarily restrict freedom of expression. | <urn:uuid:ab6842dd-4983-4fa9-8f5b-90c0a2d613dd> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://amnesty.org.nz/turkey-media-purge-threatens-freedom-expression | 2024-02-23T10:53:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.957906 | 275 |

Discovering the Best CRM for Consultants
Setting up your consulting business is just the beginning.To ensure ongoing success, you need to focus on two key elements: keeping your current clients satisfied and consistently attracting new ones. A Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tool can play a pivotal role in achieving these goals. In this article, we'll explore the significance of CRM for consultants, guide you on choosing the right CRM solution for your business, and present a few noteworthy options.
Let's start by clarifying what CRM means. CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management, and it refers to software that consultants use to effectively manage interactions and relationships with their clients. A robust CRM tool automates payment processes, collects client data (with their consent), and empowers you to make informed decisions based on that data. Understanding your client base not only enhances the service you provide but also enables lead generation, utilizes existing client data as a selling point, and facilitates the creation of targeted audiences.
Choosing the right CRM for your consulting business is a crucial decision that can significantly impact your operations. Here are key factors to consider when picking a CRM:
1. Assess Your Needs:
Identify your specific consultancy business requirements. Prioritize functionalities such as payment automation, client data management, and analytics tools based on your unique needs.
2. Ease of Use:
Opt for a CRM software with a user-friendly interface. After a busy day of consulting, a CRM that is easy to navigate and understand will contribute to smooth operations and team adoption.
Ensure the CRM solution you choose has scalability. Your business will evolve, and the CRM should seamlessly grow with it. This foresight is essential for long-term success.
Prioritize data security and compliance. As a consultancy dealing with client information, it's crucial to choose a CRM software that prioritizes the confidentiality and security of sensitive data.
5. Integration Capabilities:
Select a CRM that can easily integrate with other tools and software you use. This integration streamlines workflows, making your CRM a central hub for efficient operations and freeing up more time for client-related activities.
Choosing the right CRM is essential for the success of your consultancy business. Here are some of the best CRM options tailored for consultants:
Salesflare – Great for Client Relationships
Pricing: $29-$99 per month
Plenty of automation tools to save time
Excellent customer support

Minimal third-party integrations
Salesflare is tailored for small to medium-sized consultancy businesses, with a focus on supporting existing client relationships. While it may not be the easiest for beginners, it offers automation tools, detailed insights, and reliable customer support.

The perfect multi-purpose CRM platform
Easy-to-use and plenty of integrations and features

Technical support doesn’t come for free
HubSpot is an extensive CRM platform suitable for various purposes. It offers a free trial with limited features. While the entry price is reasonable, keep in mind that costs can increase significantly as you require more features and services. HubSpot's scalability comes at a price, and technical support may not be free.
Keap – Great for Marketing and Sales
Pricing: $169-$249 per month
Packed with features, similar to HubSpot
Ideal for automating marketing and sales processes
Great for reporting and analytics
Not the most user-friendly

The pricing is not the lowest, but it offers a range of features for your business needs.
Step 1: What Are Your Objectives?
Start by identifying how you plan to use your CRM as part of your service. Will you use it primarily to identify new business or to support your existing clients?
Step 2: Pick Your Favorite Tool
Next, select your favorite CRM tool from the list above (or one from your own research) that aligns with your objectives, checking it has all the features and plugin capabilities you need.
Step 3: Tinker With Your New Tool
Have a play around! Get familiar with the CRM you have invested in, ensuring you know how to use it properly and are maximizing its capabilities.
Step 4: Get Organized
Once you are comfortable with your CRM, import any data you need into the tool, categorizing your clients in a format that is clear and concise. You need to be consistent with your data entry, especially when you scale. Sloppy data leads to sloppy customer relationships.
Step 5: Continuous Improvement
Once you’ve set up your CRM, your work is not done. You should always be searching for ways to tinker with your offering based on your consulting business changing or feedback from clients.
How Can CRM Software Benefit Consultants?
CRM software helps consultants track client interactions, manage leads, and streamline communication, ultimately improving client relationships and project management.
What Features Should Consultants Look for in CRM Software?
Consultants should seek CRM software with contact management, task scheduling, lead tracking, and reporting capabilities tailored to their consulting needs.
Can CRM Software Help Consultants Generate Leads?
CRM software can assist consultants in lead generation by organizing and tracking potential client information, making it easier to nurture and convert leads.
Is CRM Software Suitable for Solo Consultants and Small Consulting Firms?
Yes, CRM software is adaptable for both solo consultants and small consulting firms, offering scalable solutions that cater to their specific client management requirements. | <urn:uuid:9336d7e2-a384-4c3e-a5ec-d9bf199cdabb> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://amwork.com/blog/crmsystem-for-consultants | 2024-02-23T10:10:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.923882 | 1,296 |

The most interesting and stressful event for most of us who have farms up here in Kahalu’u lately is the massive visitations of wild pigs. I wish a were a gardener because they roto-till the land to perfection. Except that the places they choose are not great spots for a garden!
I see big families – Mom, Dad, teenagers and tiny babies roaming at all hours through my yard and macadamia orchard, rooting for grubs and eating the nuts on the ground. I’d rather sell those nuts – since that is the entire point of having a macadamia farm, but these pigs don’t seem to understand the economics of why those nuts are laying on the ground.
A giant boar with a curly tail often comes alone right under my bedroom lanai sliding door and enjoys his breakfast at dawn. Part of me feels frustrated at the invasion, and the other part feels fascinated, and slightly repelled, as I spy on him from my secret hiding place – my hog blind.
A family of 13 pigs visited for a Sunday afternoon snacking session. The older males were testy with the teenagers, and snorted and chased them away from the best rooting spots. One big boar… well, how can I say this ……. tried to have non-consensual relations with a lady pig and was immediately rejected. He took it quite well, strolling away with his dignity intact. Or so thought! I’m actually a terrible biologist! I make up stories that are probably all wrong. | <urn:uuid:40fe9e9e-2f69-49d7-8074-d0d6311caf6c> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://andreapro.com/stories/tag/landscaping/ | 2024-02-23T11:36:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.972456 | 319 |
For years, I’ve known that Belize is a popular retirement destination for plenty of expats.
But when I first drove into the country, I couldn’t see the appeal.
Eventually, that changed. Belize isn’t perfect (what place is?) but I can see the appeal, which I wrote about here. | <urn:uuid:7252ea6c-f3db-4469-ae31-757b1ec2d748> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://andrewhallam.com/why-plenty-of-people-like-retirement-in-belize/ | 2024-02-23T10:10:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.971751 | 72 |
Playback, Jury of the Heart
Author: Ivory Snow
Publication date: 27 December 2017
Publisher: Sting in the Tail Publishing
Reviewer: Kris Ashton
A refugee from the planet Bathox, Liam Keen, is in a relationship with retired actress Audrey, who is beautiful but increasingly aloof. The couple sleep in separate rooms and make love only on their birthdays and special occasions (and only under sufferance on Audrey’s part). It has not always been this way. When Liam first arrived in this world and “poured out of an acorn,” Audrey declared him perfect. Carrying emotional scars from Bathox’s intergalactic war, Liam was wary of falling in love with her (“Females are moths, they flitter from light to light.”). But initially Audrey stayed, and fall in love he did.
His struggle to cope with this unrequited love comes to a cataclysmic end when Audrey utters the words: “His name is Flint.” She walks out on Liam and leaves him a broken, dishevelled, unemployed mess. Nero, the person who first made contact with Liam after he emerged from his acorn, tells him to stop mooning over Audrey and puts him in touch with Sugar Sweetman, a “body artist” at Hoochi Mama and a former tarot card reader.
Liam and Sugar begin a kind of sexual healing, which involves many inventive positions and Liam sobbing a lot during climax. In time, his love for Audrey, which he comes to view as “black-eyed venom,” is diluted to almost nothing. With his heart mended, he begins to reclaim his existence, even starting a new job. But then comes the first twist: Sugar has violated her own rule and fallen in love with her client. Liam, fearing another dose of that black-eyed venom, shies from his healer and would-be lover and seeks the cold solace of another whore with more than a passing resemblance to Audrey.
This is a curious novella indeed, one that is almost impossible to classify. It has numerous erotic scenes, but it is not strictly erotica. It uses soft sci-fi trappings, but they are incidental and could be deleted or replaced without harming the storyline. And while at its core Playback, Jury of the Heart is an everyday story about recovering from a broken heart, author Ivory Snow* uses off-kilter dialogue and descriptions to imbue it with a disconcerting sheen of otherworldliness.
Snow is sometimes prone to over-writing—“So he sat with a tomb in his heart,” she tells the reader, before expanding on this evocative image with 37 words of redundant prose—but ironically the sex scenes are spare and well-rendered; titillating without descending into the silly or absurd (always a risk with erotica). The narrative becomes tauter as the story develops, and the reader empathises with Liam as he goes on his unconventional journey to seek happiness. The ending, which is foreshadowed in the first chapter, does not disappoint.
One unusual thing drew me out of the story: the name of Liam’s home planet. “Bathox” is a brand of bath products and, even if Snow is somehow being ironic using this name, it is distracting rather than amusing. More thorough editing would also have weeded out the odd typo, grammatical error, and bizarre phrase (“calm table,” “boaty burp”). On the whole, however, this is a very satisfying read, one that deserved a punchier title.
Those who prefer a strong speculative element in their fiction won’t find Playback, Jury of the Heart to their liking; the SF/fantasy is more overlay than framework. But Andromeda Spaceways has always been a broad church in that regard, and it is easy to imagine a condensed version of this novella appearing in its pages, so it will likely appeal to most Andromeda readers. The e-book retails for $1.50, a reasonable value for a 10,000-word diversion, or it comes in miniature paperback for $6.87.
* A pseudonym, of course—Ivory Snow was a brand of laundry detergent available in the US that used Marilyn Chambers as a model for its packaging artwork in the 1960s (prior to her adult film career). This leads me to wonder if naming Liam’s planet ‘Bathox’ was more than a coincidence! | <urn:uuid:157965fc-f680-4732-be79-e89313f07abd> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://andromedaspaceways.com/review/playback-jury-of-the-heart/ | 2024-02-23T10:38:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.961737 | 954 |
17 July @ 7:15 am – 8:00 am
A regular practice of prayer in the morning can help us begin the day in the way in which we want to continue, and creates a strong sense of community amongst those who gather. The Anglican Morning Prayer Office also connects us with people all across the Global Anglican Communion praying in a similar way.
The prayer, which happens every morning Monday to Friday, begins at 7:15 am and is always finished at 8:00 am. We include a short period of silent meditation, but you are welcome to leave at any time, something easy to do when the gathering is online.
All you will need is the epray app or a copy of the prayer book. You are welcome to borrow a copy of the prayer book from the church if you don’t have one. You can download the epray app for free to your phone or device from the Apple app store or Google Play. Ask Sue or Tim for the password for our epray app account.
Attend in person in the church, or online via Teams.

Lecture: Entering the World of Alice Munro
12. května 2022
13:00 - ROOM G311, Gorkého 7
In this class I look at how Alice Munro leads readers into fictional worlds. I consider her first sentences and reflect on style and variety in her stories, especially in light of the claim that there is a distinct style to her prose. An examination of her first sentences leads to at least one conclusion: for all their stylistic diversity, Munro’s lead-off sentences tend to establish a tension between what is realistic and tangible and what is seeming, what lies beneath or hidden.

Interviews with some of the 200 activists who peacefully protested and documented cruelty on a local pig farm. We address comments we have been hearing from farmers, and speak to a former RCMP officer-turned activist about breaking the law to obtain justice.
100 minutes of liberation music — for Earthlings! We dedicate this special extended episode to all the activists who keep making connections and fighting to end commodification, captivity, torture, and needless slaughter. In this show, we keep the focus on the plight of nonhuman animals, the earth in crisis, and power of speaking out and taking action.
In light of the undercover investigation at the dairy facility in Chilliwack, and the announcement that Enbridge’s Northern Gateway has been approved, we thought it would be a good time to check in with acclaimed independent journalist, Will Potter (Green Is The New Red). We talk “eco-terrorism”, activist repression, ag-gag, drones, movement building, and more!
We speak to William Housty of the Heiltsuk Nation about Bears Forever, a project of the Central Coast First Nations Bear Working Group. We also have special guests to speak about an upcoming event called Radical Animals and Ravaged Environments: A New Understanding for a Common Struggle. | <urn:uuid:e6469349-5d0c-42a7-a219-7e69e1eade4f> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://animalvoices.org/tag/direct-action/ | 2024-02-23T10:21:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.947394 | 258 |
