In your own masterpiece, FullMetal AlchemistAuthor Hiromu Arakawa borrowed the 7 Deadly Sins to outline the various shades of Homunculus, artificial beings created through alchemy. Among these characters, one in particular has achieved a certain level of notoriety within the committed community.
In fact, since Hughes' death, fans have been waiting in fear for the moment of revelation or the moment in which Roy Mustang learned the identity of his close friend's murderer. In fact, the author managed to fully meet readers' expectations between hate, epic and a strong emotional component. He who killed Maes Hughes was envy, one of the most complex characters in the work and the incarnation of one of the greatest sins of mankind, envy.
In honor of her character, the talented cosplayer Sosenka wanted to pay homunculus homunculus through a personal reinterpretation, the same one you can admire at the end of the news. Thus, with considerable fidelity, the artist has succeeded in mimicking the villain's various physical nuances almost perfectly, and has even succeeded in using almost 14,000 "I like this"attached to the original photo.
Did you check out these two Ed and Al cosplays before saying goodbye? And you on the other hand, what do you think of Sosenka's interpretation, do you like it?

“The Hong Kong Tactics just jump off the page to me!” Veteran War Correspondent Describes the Violent Agitating Antifa Tactics Used in Washington DC Unrest and Around the Globe To Destroy Western Governments
(Article by Ulysses S. Tennyson republished from 100PercentFedUp.com)
War correspondent Michael Yon is “a war correspondent with years of experience studying tactics of Antifa and other groups. Jack [Prosobiec] asked Yon to compare what he has seen in other countries to the scenes at the Capitol earlier this month.” Yon has also covered events such as violent protests in Thailand and the recent and massive Hong Kong protests at which Antifa was also present. He sat down with OANN’s Jack Prosobiec to discuss who is responsible for the violence in Hong Kong as well as at the Capitol on January 6th in Washington DC.
“False flags seem exotic to a lot of people. They’re actually quite normal. They are as normal as a Starbuck to me. I see false flags all the time in wars and conflicts. It is literally a daily thing. And, also, when it comes to APs (Agent Provocateurs) I see those constantly. This is not something exotic. This has been going on for centuries…it is arguably in the Bible. This is old old stuff.”
He says he identified “many…clear” cells and Agent Provocateurs associated with Antifa/BLM. Yon describes one incident that we previously covered at the capitol. During the incident agent provocateurs associated with Antifa/BLM, including John Sullivan are actually filming the death of Ashli Babbit at the Capitol and are also caught on the same film changing into another outfit after Ashli Babbit’s murder. This is a common tactic for these anti-Western infiltrators who bring multiple outfits to change into at different stages of a violent breech. In this case, they bring pro-Trump attire in order to appear as Trump supporters and then change into more neutral gear to easily disappear once they have agitated an event beyond its peaceful breaking point. On January 6th, that breaking point for John Sullivan and his confederates was the death of Ashli Babbit, which they then broadcast around the glob online and blame on Trump supporters.
“At one point he has three hats in his hands. He has got a red hat–MAGA, and he’s got the furry Canadian hat apparently, and he’s got the helmet. All three…and right after he smashed the hole and AShli was shot, he immediately goes down the stairs and–with the police who were right there–and changes clothes. So, he puts that helmet on and changes his attire. It’s on video and I think that’s actually [well known Antifa/BLM agitator] John Earle Sullivan’s Video.
Yon also discusses the broader historical and contemporary context for the tactics used to incite and overthrow governments during color revolutions that everyone should know. We encourage all our viewers to watch the brief video, below, and look for Mr. Yon’s future coverage.

Last weekend (Sunday, June 5) the Toronto Star newspaper published an article written by Donovan Vincent which examined the mismatches between regulatory reality of Ontario’s planning process and the political promises of the re-elected Doug Ford government. The last topic in the article caught my eye. It was about so-called “streamlined development,” an initiative by the Ford government to encourage municipalities to speed up development approvals. Naturally, BILD was mentioned, a development-friendly organization which has conducted studies that have found that it can take as much as a decade for development projects to be completed, blaming slow municipal approvals as a major factor.
As a counterpoint, the article quotes David Hulchanski, a UofT professor, who told the newspaper that there are already thousands of housing units in the GTA which have been approved and are waiting for developers to build, and that delays are due more to developers waiting for the right market conditions. According to Hulchanski, “market conditions are number one affecting supply.”
As I’ve noted before, slow approvals have become an article of faith among many developers who insist that they are ready to build lots of new housing if only municipalities didn’t take forever to approve their projects. My instinct has always told me that this was straw man stuff, or to use a more modern cliche, gaslighting, so I’m pleased to see someone assert otherwise. | <urn:uuid:9b4c15f3-9b93-42e9-a7fc-2316a890e816> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://apartmentresearch.ca/2022/06/09/streamlining-development/ | 2024-02-23T09:13:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.976979 | 295 |

Check out Beth Mead’s brace in Arsenal’s 3-0 win over West Ham – her first goals since her return from an ACL injury.
Speaking to Bleacher Report, Havertz said that he wanted to make the switch as quickly as possible after having some ‘amazing’ chats with sporting director Edu and manager Mikel Arteta.
He said: “I think it all had to go very fast. Think it was just (on) my holidays and then we were speaking to the guys from Arsenal and it was an opportunity to do it then so we just did it. You know the whole process was nice.”
“I had some chats with Edu and with the manager and all the chats were amazing and they gave me such good feelings. So, (I) just wanted to do it as quickly as possible and maybe that’s why it happened so fast.”
Havertz still adapting to Arsenal’s playing style
The 24-year-old has had a difficult start to his Gunners career but he is slowly but surely adapting to the playing style. Havertz made a vital contribution against Manchester City earlier this term with the assist for Gabriel Martinelli’s winner.
Against Brentford last weekend, he came off the bench to score the winner in the 89th minute. His name was loudly sang on the stands by the faithful and the German will be aiming to replicate the performance in the forthcoming matches.
The Gunners have a hectic schedule coming up. They face Lens, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Luton Town in the space of eight games. Havertz could be reinstated into the starting line-up when the former visit the Emirates on Wednesday.
Arsenal are almost into the round of 16 stage of the Champions League. A victory over the Ligue 1 outfit would guarantee their place in the knockout phase of the elite club competition with the top spot in their group. They will face PSV in matchday six. | <urn:uuid:585fd46c-7f6d-43fc-a0b7-2dea43352df9> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://apkcombat.com/very-fast-65m-star-wanted-to-join-arsenal-as-quickly-as-possible | 2024-02-23T11:33:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.984546 | 486 |

This is my favorite of 5 places at which I bought jewelry during a trip to Greece. They had a wonderful selection of jewelry and art, but what made the shop special was the the staff.
I bought a lovely ceramic glass sailing ship in this shop which they packaged up very well for me to take back to the UK. There are some beautiful pieces of art in this shop as well as items that would make a great present for a special occasion.
The service was wonderful - they were attentive and helpful without hovering and they take a great deal of pride in making sure to package your purchases in a way that will ensure they make it home in one piece! | <urn:uuid:553749b5-4fe7-428b-95a4-e4015e2c5c93> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://apollongallery.com/el/proionta/skakieres/tetragones-skakieres/by,product_price?language=el-GR&keyword= | 2024-02-23T11:12:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.991167 | 133 |
READING COURSE DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this course is to provide instruction that enables students to accelerate the development of reading and writing skills and to strengthen those skills so they are able to successfully read and write middle grade level text independently. Instruction emphasizes reading comprehension, writing fluency, and vocabulary study through the use of a variety of literary and informational texts encompassing a broad range of text structures, genres, and levels of complexity. Texts used for instruction focus on a wide range of topics, including content-area information, in order to support students in meeting the knowledge and demands of increasingly complex text. Students enrolled in the course will engage in interactive text-based discussion, question generation, and research opportunities. They will write in response to reading and cite evidence when answering text dependent questions orally and in writing. The course provides extensive opportunities for students to collaborate with their peers. Scaffolding is provided as necessary as students engage in reading and writing increasingly complex text and is removed as the reading and writing abilities of the students improve over time.

Wetipp, through the Platform, operates as a tool for the mapping, management and engagement of communities.
Based on the functionalities enabled in each community, the Platform, in particular, allows to:
(i) Indicate your interests and competences and other useful information to facilitate your participation in a community or activities on the platform;
(ii) Share photos and documents with other members of the community;
(iii) Find members of the community through the discovery of interests, skills, geographical position and other filters made available by the community to which they belong;
(iv) Launch or participate in events, projects or groups;
(v) Create one-to-many and one-to-one chats and discussions in the community to which you have subscribed.

Personal Data can be generically defined as any information pertaining to identified individuals or individuals who can also be identified through other information - for example, through a number or an identification code - such as: name, surname or title; address; tax code; an image; a recording of an individual's voice; fingerprint; bank data; etc.
This Statement aims to provide you with all the necessary information so that you can become aware of our policy regarding the collection, disclosure and use of your Personal Data, as a User and together with the Terms and Conditions of Use (the "TOS") constitutes the contract regulating the relations between you and Wetipp.
Wetipp, where you activate the Platform services through third party services (by way of example only, and not exhaustively: login via Facebook Connect), your Personal Data may be shared by such third parties.
This Statement does not apply to services offered by third parties and their information processing methods.

This Statement does not apply, in particular, to the collection and processing of Personal Data made by third parties other than Wetipp that perform management functions within the communities Platform, i.e. spaces reserved for a specific community that adopt the functions of the Platform for the benefit of a smaller group of people (the "Independent Communities Managers") autonomously created by them. The Independent Community Managers are autonomous and independent of Wetipp. Keep in mind, therefore, that these Independent Communities Managers will be responsible for processing your Personal Data each in relation to the actual processing carried out in relation to participation in the community to which you decide to subscribe. Contractually, each Community Manager is required by Wetipp to adopt policies that are compliant with applicable privacy laws and the transferability of the Personal Data acquired and processed by them is prevented. We therefore recommend that you carefully read these privacy statements in order to understand how the information will be processed by these Communities Managers.

2. Types of data processed and purpose of the processing
2.1 Data and browsing activities
The IT systems and the procedures used to operate the Platform may automatically acquire, during their normal operation, some Personal Data related to your browsing, such as, by way of example, the IP address, the amount of accesses, the duration of browsing, the browser used, the pages viewed, and the date and time at which access took place.
Personal data relating to your browsing are collected primarily for the purpose of obtaining non-identifying statistical information about the use of the Platform and to check its correct functioning. Personal Data relating to your browsing may also be processed, after the registration necessary for the use of services accessible through the use of credentials as per Article 2.2, for:
(i)Profiling activities, i.e. the study and analysis of your interests and requests for the definition of individual and group profiles, after obtaining your express consent, as resulting from the check of the item "I expressly consent, in particular, to the processing of Personal Data for the purposes of profiling, highlighted in bold in paragraph (i) of Article 2.1 and (ii) of Article 2.2, an extract of which is noted here for clarity". Consent to the processing of this data is optional and any refusal to permit processing will not make it impossible to use the services of the Platform. Even in the event of consent, you will still have the right to object, in whole or in part, to the processing of your Personal Data for profiling purposes, by making a simple request to the Controller, without any formalities.
How can we actually use your Personal Data for this purpose? We may process Personal Data related to your browsing to better understand your interests and preferences, so as to provide you with an experience consistent with these interests and preferences. For example, we may do so to provide you with access to content for which you have shown the most interest, or send you personalised offers or promotions via email (as long as you have consented to receive our communications for advertising and commercial purposes), or offer advertising content related to your interests.
What is the legal basis that allows us to process your Personal Data in this way? Provided that you have given your consent and that this is in line with your choices, it is in our legitimate interest to look at your preferences, extrapolated from your browsing, so that you can better customise our offer.
To carry out these operations, the Platform currently uses:
(i) the Google Analytics service, a service of web analytics provided by Google that sends cookies to your device;
(ii) the platform allows users to profile themselves by explicitly indicating useful information for the collaboration within WeTipp and in the communities to which they subscribe. This information includes the indication of "tags" of interests and competences, where you live, your nationality and any other information requested by the organisations you join. Profiling can also concern "collective profiles" that represent groups of people (formal or informal) that have a collective profile within the platform.
Cookies ("Cookies") are small text strings that are stored on your own device and which record data related to your browsing activity. These data, if the cookies are not disabled, are communicated to the website or the application that installed them each time you return to visit it.

Profiling cookies: they allow a more effective management of the advertising spaces on the website or application and allow the adaptation of advertising for relevance to the user and to prevent the user from viewing advertisements already seen. These cookies therefore perform actual profiling of user behaviour.
Third-party cookies: Third-party Cookies are Cookies, used by the website or application manager, but installed on the device of the user by third parties other than the operator of the website or the application. Third-party cookies are, for example, the statistical services of Google Analytics or the advertising service of Google Adsense.
The Platform, in particular, uses:
(i) Technical cookies (which store your login credentials in order to make it easier to log in) and for which your specific consent is not required;
(ii) Profiling Cookies that keep track of the choices you have made in the navigation and use of the Platform services, so as to ensure a personalised and easier use of the services offered by the Platform, for which your specific consent is required and which we notify to the Privacy Guarantor;
(iii) Third-party analytical cookies:
(iii) (a) concretely adopted with measures that allow you to eliminate the identifying power and not cross checked by the third party, for which your specific consent is not required;
(iii) (b) adopted without any measures that eliminate the identifying power, for which your specific consent is required.

At the beginning of 2018, I switched from Google Chrome to Safari for good. I had enough of Google Chrome's tracking and Safari has reached to a place where it was on par with Google Chrome in features and speed. The new cross-site tracking prevention, auto-blocking of tracking links, and other privacy features in Safari were enough to pull me back to Apple's browser. I could have done it sooner but the lack of competent extensions on Safari was one thing that held me back. By the beginning of 2018, I realized that Safari's extensions library was good enough, and hence, I switch to Safari.
However, months after I switched to Safari, Apple deprecated the whole extensions system and left users like me hanging. The Safari 12 update killed most of the extensions that I use. As of now, extensions downloaded from the web, outside of the App Store, will no longer work in Safari. If you are using older versions of Safari they will work, but if you want to protect your web browsing against the latest malware, you will have to update Safari for security reasons and you will lose support for your old extensions.
Also, if you want to run the latest version of macOS like macOS Mojave or macOS Catalina to enjoy all the new features, you will update the OS which in turn will automatically update Safari and kill your extensions. So, once again, we are left with a limited number of Safari extensions that will work in 2020. I have tested most of them and created a list of the best Safari extensions that you should use in 2020.
Best Safari Extensions that Work in 2020
Apart from killing most of the Safari extensions, Apple has also changed the way you install and enable them in Safari. So, first, let's see how you can install and enable Safari extensions and then we can get to our list.
How to Install and Enable Safari Extensions
Before the Safari 12 update, you could easily download the installation file, double click on it and the extension would start running on Safari. Now, the steps have become different. You have to specifically enable the extensions even after you have installed them. So follow the steps and learn how you can install and enable Safari extensions:
- All the Safari extensions are now available in the App Store. So, you can either search from them in the App Store or click on the links provided in this article to open the App Store page.
- Once the extension is open in the App Store, install it like you install any other software from the App Store.
- Once installed, open Safari Preferences (⌘,) and click on the "Extensions" tab. Here, enable the extension by clicking on the checkbox. Your extension will now show up in Safari.
Note that since Safari extensions are no mini Mac apps, you will have to launch them if they are not set to launch at login. Just click on the extension's icon in Safari and click on the "Run" button.
If you don't want to do this every time you restart your Mac, you have to enable all the extensions as login items. You can do that by either going to each extensions preferences and finding and turning on the "Launch "extension name" for Safari at Login" or going to System Preferences → Users & Groups → Login Items and adding all the extensions one by one by clicking on the "+" button and selecting them.
Uninstalling Safari Extensions
To uninstall a Safari extension, launch Safari and open preferences (⌘,). Click on the extension tab and then on the extension you want to uninstall. Here, click on the "Uninstall" button to remove it from Safari.
Now that you know everything about installing, enabling, and uninstalling Safari extensions. Let's check out the list of best Safari extensions.
Best Safari Extensions for Mac
As of right now, there are less than 100 extensions on the App Store. We have tested most of these extensions (at least the ones which were worth testing) and create this list of best Mac Safari extension list for you.
1. AdGuard AdBlocker
Let's start with the first extension that everybody installs on every browser that they use. By the way, if you are not using an Ad Blocker right now, you definitely should. The internet is full of knowledge but that knowledge comes with a lot of ads. In some part, we consumers are to blame as it's in our nature to want to get everything for free. But nothing is free and we all know it. Websites earn money by showing ads on them and while I don't mind ads as they support the creators, some of them just become greedy and put up too many intrusive ads.
AdGuard AdBlocker can help you block ads from all those mischievous websites. It also blocks the tracking pixels hosted on various websites which are good for your privacy. Don't forget to whitelist the websites which show normal ads to earn money to support their existence. To whitelist a website, open it on your Safari and then click on the AdGuard extension icon. Now, disable it by unchecking the "Enabled on this Website" option.
Install Extension: Free
2. Instapaper / Pocket
While Safari comes with a built-in “Reading List” feature, Apple has turned a blind eye to it. The feature is half-baked and although it lets you save articles for offline reading (to turn on offline reading go to Preferences → Advanced → Reading List), there's no way to categorize the articles. There is no search or sorting of articles by websites. If you want all these features and more then you should use a read it later service. And there's none better than Instapaper and Pocket. Over the years, I have switched between the two apps and like them both.
They both come with an exceptional offline feature that quickly saves your article offline. They both offer iOS apps so you can sync articles across devices. And they both let you search and organize your articles so its easier to find them. All these basic features are available in the free plan. If you want more advanced features like text-to-speech, speed reading, full contextual search, unlimited notes, and more, you can subscribe to their paid plans. Instapaper costs $2.99/month or $29.99/year while Pocket costs more at $4.99/month or $49.99/year.
But then again, Pocket offers a lot more features than Instapaper. For example, it's free plan lets you listen to articles whereas this feature is paid in Instapaper. Pocket premium also brings extra features such as a permanent library of everything you've saved, suggested tags, unlimited highlights, premium fonts and more. You can check them out install by clicking on the links below.
3. DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials
DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials tool is a great Safari extension for people who want to be safe online. Not only it blocks hidden third-party trackers on the websites you visit but it also gives you a privacy dashboard showing you how enhanced security a website brings. It provides each website with a privacy score that comes in handy when you are deep into your internet research. If a website's score is too low you will know better than to download files off it or purchase a product. I also love that the extensions also improves the privacy of websites you are visiting wherever possible.
The tracking blocker saves you from being tracked by third-party trackers so you don't see the same ads everywhere based on your purchase or browsing history. Overall, this is an essential tool you should keep in your bag. Note that this only works with macOS Catalina. As you can see, my download button is greyed out as I have not upgraded my work laptop to macOS Catalina yet. If you have also not upgraded your Mac, you should use the Ghostery Lite extension mentioned below.
Install DuckDuckGo: Free
4. Honey for Safari
If you want to save money while shopping online then this is the extension that you should install. Honey is a coupon aggregator Safari extension that finds and applies the best coupons at checkout so you can get the best discounts. Honey supports thousands of popular websites including e-commerce websites such as Amazon, Best Buy, and eBay, travel websites like Expedia, food ordering websites like Pizza Hut, and independent brands like Adidas, Macy's, and more. This is saving done right. The extension sits quietly in the corner and comes to life when you are ordering something saving you tens of dollars every single time.
Another such extension that promises the same features is Rakuten. Rakuten offers both discounts and cashback options. It also searches for the products that you are buying online in other stores to get you the best possible deal. That being said, I have just discovered this extension and am not sure how good it works. You can install it to see which of the two offers you a better deal.
5. Liner - Web / PDF Highlighter
Liner is a very helpful tool for someone who likes to read and share content on the internet. There are times when we come across articles that are worth sharing, however, we know that nobody is going to read the whole article. What if there was a way to share articles with the most important parts already highlighted. If you have ever used Medium, you will know what I am talking about. Well, Liner brings that functionality to the whole of the internet.
Whenever you are reading an article, click on the Liner extension icon. A dialogue box will open instantly telling you that the “Highlight Mode” is on. Now you can drag and drop any part of the article to highlight the text. The dialogue box will also create a custom link for that article which you can share in any way as you like. Once someone clicks on the link, it will open the article you were reading with all the highlighted lines in place. It's cool to have if you want to share articles with already highlighted important parts.
Liner also saves all the highlights in your account so you can get back to articles when you want. I have found this handy when doing research for an article or for my work. Not only I collect important articles but all the good parts are already highlighted so I don't have to re-read the entire article. The extension is free to use with limitations. If you want more features and no limits you can upgrade to the paid plan that costs $7.99/month. That said, the free plan will suffice the needs of most users.
Install Liner Safari Extension: Free
6. Evernote Web Clipper
One of the extensions that I missed most when Safari 12 deprecated the old extension system was the Evernote web clipper. So much of my research depends on collecting articles and links from the web, and Evernote is my go-to choice for saving them. Thankfully, the Evernote web clipper for Safari is finally here. It lets you save web pages, PDFs, and articles from the web into your Evernote account with just a single click. There are many note-taking and other services that offer web-clippers, but none of them work as well and reliably as Evernote. If you use Evernote, this is a must-have Safari extension for you.
Install Extension: Free
Now that we have gotten the reading experience covered, let's make our writing experience a little better on the web. Grammarly is a popular Safari extension that detects your grammatical mistakes on the fly. Whether you are typing a new email or writing a blog post or bickering on social media, Grammarly will make sure that there are no grammatical mistakes in your write-up. That said, advanced grammatical mistake detection is a paid option, still, the free version is enough to remove the most horrendous mistakes.
The best part about using Grammarly is that once the extension is installed, you don't need to do anything as it will automatically detect all the fields where you are typing and show you your mistakes and correction. However, once installed, you do need to sign up for the service. Apart from its Safari extension, Grammarly also offers its own macOS, Android, and iOS apps.
Install Extension: Grammarly
8. 1Blocker for Safari
1Blocker is a popular iOS app that gives you an ad-free and tracking-free internet experience on mobile devices. A few months back, the service switched to a subscription model and introduced a Mac app along with a Safari extension. The best thing about 1Blocker is that it gives you a comprehensive list of elements that its blocking and lets you decide the level of blocking. You also get to see a list of everything that it's blocking. 1Blocker can block ads, tracking pixels, cookie notices, cryptocurrency mining, annoying website widgets, and even comments, if you don't want to see them. For few bucks a month, you can essentially safeguard yourself from getting tracked across devices and you have full control over it. It also offers a watered-down free version, but if you are going to use it, the paid plan makes more sense.
Install Extension: Free, $2.99/month or $14.99/year or $38.99/lifetime
9. Ghostery Lite
While Safari comes with its built-in tracking protection, it never hurts to add an extra layer of security. Ghostery Lite is a good extension that makes you safer online. It blocks all the trackers and stops them from accessing your data. It even blocks intrusive ads to give you a cleaner reading experience on websites that overdo on ads. The extension is simple, works in the background, and doesn't affect your browsing speed or experience. You can either choose its default setting that requires no input on your part or use the custom settings if you want to closely block specific things and allow others. Overall, this is one of the best online tracker blocker extension for Safari and you should install it.
Install Ghostery Lite Safari Extension: Free
Piper is a must-have extension for anyone who streams media using Safari. Safari's native picture-in-picture mode works only on YouTube and even there it's quite convoluted to invoke (double right-click/ctrl-click on a video and then select the "Enable Picture in Picture"). PiPer, on the other hand, allows users to start picture-in-picture mode with just one click. Once installed, it adds a simple picture in picture mode button in the player control screen.
Click on it and the video will start playing in PiP. You can resize the window and drag it to any corner of the screen. It even supports subtitles in the PiP mode. The supported websites include YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and more. I tested it on YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video and it was working on all of them so I can only assume it will work everywhere else.
Install PiPer Safari Extension: Free
Note: You are not seeing any content playing in both screenshots as Netflix doesn't allow us to capture media playback for the fear of being recorded and pirated.
11. Turn Off the Lights
Turn Off the Lights is a great little Safari extension which allows you to watch videos on Safari without any distraction. On video streaming websites like YouTube, Vimeo, and more, if you are not using the full-screen mode, there's a ton of distracting elements around that video. Turn off the Light helps you hide those distractive elements by creating a fade over the entire page (see the picture below for reference).
Using the extension is pretty straight forward. Just click on the extension icon when you are watching a video and it will fade the entire background. You can also adjust the color and intensity of the fade among other things. To customize the effect double click on the icon and it will bring the menu. This is a helpful Safari extension and you should check it out.
Install Turn Off the Lights Safari Extension: Free
12. HoverSee for Safari
HoverSee is a nifty little extension which allows users to hover over any image, video, or link and see a preview of the content. I use this extension a lot when I am on YouTube as it helps me preview a video before I play it. It saves me a ton of time because I don't have to go back and forth to see if a video is worth my time or not. The types of content supported by HoverSee include thumbnail images, links to image galleries, links to videos services, links to images & videos, and links to any website.
I won't say it's a must-have extension, but it is a useful one. Another thing to note here is that before Safari 12 update, the extension was free. However, the developers had to rebuild the extension to comply with Apple's terms and so now it's a paid extension.
Install HoverSee Safari Extension: $7.99
13. Raindrop.io for Safari
Safari's bookmarking ability is adequate but it's not enough for pro users. If you are someone who creates tons of bookmarks and needs an easy way to store and organize them, you should use Raindrop.io for Safari. It's an excellent bookmark manager which helps you collect article, photos, and videos from the web and organize them into folders and sub-folders. The folders are called "Collections" and you can assign a custom icon to each collection. You can also add tags to individual bookmarks to organize bookmarks which are in different collections. You can also add notes to bookmarks.
Finally, if you like to share your bookmarks with your colleagues or your family, you can do that by sharing your collections. Since Raindrop.io also has mobile (iOS / Android)and web (visit) apps, you can access your bookmarks from anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection. Note that while Raindrop.io offers a premium version, all the essential features like creating unlimited bookmarks and collections, sharing, supported for unlimited devices, and more are part of the free version.
Install Raindrop.io Safari Extension: Free, $28/year
14. Password Manager Extensions
If there is one service that every internet user should be using, it is password management. Password managers allow you to keep long and secure passwords for all your accounts while ensuring that you never forget any of them and can use them with just one click. No matter which password management service you are using, the point is that you should be using one. Most of these password managers provide their Safari extensions. The most prominent one that comes to mind is 1Password. Other such services include Secrets, LastPass, Valt, and more. Click on the links below to check them out.
In a world where we are bombarded with fake news, it's not easy to figure out what we are reading is true or not. Now some of that is our fault as we don't want spends a few seconds to verify the news before reacting to them. That being said, there is a service out there which lets us verify the news that we are reading. NewsGuard is a free Safari extension which adds red and green ratings and labels to websites to show us if they are trustworthy or not. NewsGuard has its team of journalists and analysts who do thorough research and give trust score to all the news websites. It's a tool that you should keep in your arsenal if you don't want to succumb to the onslaught of fake news.

The service also offers an iOS app so which syncs using Dropbox so your data is accessible from all your devices. While the extension is free to download and use it also offers a premium version with extra features.
18. Markdown Linker for Safari
Markdown Linker for Safari is an extension for a super-niche audience who prefer to write their text in markdown. What is does is it allows you to copy a website link in markdown format. It uses the website name as the place-holder link text which works for most use-cases. I know that most markdown users won't need this extension as their choice of Mac writing app like iA Writer or Ulysses, already allows for easy link creation. However, for users who always find themselves creating markdown links, this extension can save a few seconds.

Chatbots are computer programs that simulate conversation with human users. They are often used in customer service applications, where they can answer questions, provide support, and resolve issues. Chatbots can also be used for marketing, sales, and education.
In this guide, we will discuss the basics of chatbots, including how they work, the different types of chatbots, and the benefits of using chatbots. We will also provide examples of chatbots and best practices for creating chatbots.
What is a chatbot?
A chatbot is a computer program that simulates conversation with human users. Chatbots are often powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) technologies. These technologies allow chatbots to understand human language and generate human-like responses.
How do chatbots work?
Chatbots work by following a set of rules or instructions. These rules define how the chatbot will respond to different prompts and questions. For example, a chatbot might be programmed to answer questions about a product or service, or to provide customer support.
Chatbots can also be trained to learn from their interactions with users. This allows chatbots to become more accurate and efficient over time.
Types of chatbots
There are two main types of chatbots: rule-based chatbots and AI-powered chatbots.
- Rule-based chatbots are the simplest type of chatbot. They are programmed with a set of rules that define how they will respond to different prompts and questions. Rule-based chatbots are often used for simple tasks, such as answering FAQs or providing customer support.
- AI-powered chatbots are more complex than rule-based chatbots. They use AI and NLP technologies to understand human language and generate human-like responses. AI-powered chatbots can be used for more complex tasks, such as providing sales and marketing support or offering educational content.
Benefits of using chatbots

- Improved customer service: Chatbots can provide 24/7 customer service, which can help businesses to improve customer satisfaction and reduce costs.
- Increased sales: Chatbots can be used to generate leads, qualify prospects, and close deals.
- Personalized experiences: Chatbots can be used to provide personalized experiences to customers. This can help businesses to build relationships with customers and increase loyalty.
- Reduced costs: Chatbots can help businesses to reduce costs by automating tasks that would otherwise be performed by human customer service representatives.
Examples of chatbots
There are many examples of chatbots in use today. Some of the most popular chatbots include:
- Amazon’s Alexa: Alexa is a voice-activated chatbot that can be used to control smart home devices, get information, and answer questions.

The construction drawings will include detailed, dimensioned floor plans, exterior elevations, roof plan, foundation plan, basic electrical layout, cross-section(s), foundation plan, and other general specifications. Some plans will include interior cabinet layouts.

Archival Designs brings you over 40 years of experience in the house plan design business. We offer the best value for your money by offering the highest quality home designs.
All house plans sold by Archival Designs have been designed to comply with the International Residential Code (IRC) and to the local codes in the area where the designer resides or where the house was built.
All house plans are designed to meet or exceed the national building standards required by the International Residential Code (IRC). Due to differences in climate and geography throughout North America, every city, local municipality and county has unique building codes and regulations that must be followed to obtain a building permit. Prior to purchasing a set of house plans, we recommend that you meet with your local building officials in order to determine the building requirements for your area. It is the responsibility of the purchaser(s) and/or builder to ensure that the structure is constructed to meet the codes of their local area.
House plans do not come stamped or signed by an architect or engineer. Additionally, house plans typically will not include structural engineering notes/calculations. Please check with your local building officials to determine if a stamp is required. If required, the building department will only accept a stamp from a licensed professional in the state where the home will be built.
Depending on your city, county, and state building requirements, house plans may need to be reviewed by a local licensed architect or engineer for structural details and code standards before construction begins. This is particularly true in coastal areas and those facing seismic events, extreme winds, and heavy snow. If you are building in any of these areas, a licensed structural engineer will likely be needed to provide the necessary calculations and additional drawings. We authorize the use of our plans conditioned on your obligation and agreement to strictly comply with all local building codes, ordinances, regulations, and requirements, including permits and inspections at the time of and during construction. We recommend checking with your local building department for the most current requirements. The purchaser(s) and/or builder are responsible for additional expenses incurred through meeting municipality requirements or other requirements for construction.
Our foundation plans have been designed for universal conditions and may need to be adjusted to fit your specific site conditions. The foundation should be modified by a local structural engineer to comply with soil testing laboratory findings and local building requirements.
Our house plans will include schematic electrical drawings; however, circuiting or wire sizing will not be included. Your electrical subcontractor will typically provide these drawings.
HVAC and plumbing drawings are not included. Your mechanical and plumbing subcontractors will determine the best layout for your site. Local HVAC codes, climatic requirements and commonly used systems vary throughout the country. The direction of how water flow will enter the home vary from case to case. For this reason, it is impossible to provide universal plans. | <urn:uuid:13f80ea2-5b45-4805-8bad-6e24d88a47bc> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://archivaldesigns.com/products/wildwood-house-plan | 2024-02-23T11:15:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.948922 | 629 |
Enjoy a screening of On the Move. Then there’s the opportunity to discuss the film with automata artists, mechanical sculptors and pyrotechnicians involved in the project.
In preparation for the opening of its new Launchpad gallery this November, the Science Museum commissioned Engineered Arts to create a film. This involved setting up an amazing temporary exhibit in a huge deserted warehouse near Falmouth. The ‘incredible machine’ ran for just two days before it was dismantled.
The machine embodied energy transfer and chain reactions in the huge Cornish warehouse. In the film you see a series of connections transfer energy in weird and wonderful ways throughout the machine: ejector seats trigger fire extinguishers, tyres with a mind of their own roll along planks, clockwork axes chop strings and fire arrows and robots send ball bearings running down tracks.
Made by Engineered Arts, specialists in designing and building imaginative, interactive installations, the machine demonstrated how energy can be transferred through a series of physical chain reactions. The creative team - who each designed their own part of the machine - consisted of Tim Hunkin, engineer, cartoonist, writer and artist; Paul Spooner, automata artist and illustrator; Rob Higgs, mechanical sculptor; and was led by Will Jackson, interactive exhibit designer and Director of Engineered Arts. Arthur Ganson, leading kinetic artist and artist-in-residence at Massachusetts Institute of Technology also consulted on this extraordinary creation.
Find out what it takes to put together something this crazy.

This item is an account book which appears to have been that of a Peterborough area shoe retailer, C.E. Smith Boots and Shoes. Loosely inserted in the book is a letter dated 1913 from Hastings written by J.F. McCarthy to C.E. Smith, esq., regarding an order for a pair of shoes. Several of the accounts itemized in the book are with shoe companies. Glued in the book is a "Bank of Montreal, Peterborough" bank slip.

The moss beneath my toes was cool, a sprinkle of dew still resting gently on the soft spores. She was up ahead dancing on the riverbank; songbird-esque but not quite. Something more. Her rapture emanated, sweeping between the tree branches, across the rocks, and through my hair. My formerly tight braid had slowly unraveled and long wisps of ginger found themselves caught in my eyelashes.
I was unwound.
The silk skirt of my dress lay somewhere in my past and all that remained were my underskirt and my corset, half untied and stained with dirt. I stepped off the moss-covered log towards the river. The rush of water over rocks broke against my ears. Light bounced from stone to stone beneath the current like scattered pearls dripping from the neck of a debutante. The silks which had overlaid the evergreen twine of my corset were of my former reality. The one shrouded in primness, where I could see the world only from behind a veil of tulle. She had lifted the veil and now I knew just how fiercely the leaves sparkled; emeralds dancing.
I would never go back. I’d known that from the day I arrived, when she found me bathing bare in an inlet, my clothes receiving their first stains as they lay on the riverbank. She showed me what existed beyond the walls that had contained me, beyond my mother’s rubies and wrath. She taught me green and impurity.
I’d forgotten my desire for doilies and dowries. Now, I just wanted to be like her – like all of them. I wanted to have ears so sharp I could hear the wind sprinkle sand on the surface of water, to be lofty, idealized, and selfless all at once.
I waded into the water and leapt from one rock to the next to catch up to her. They were slick against the balls of my feet but I managed to balance, arms spread like a tightrope walker. She’d disappeared beyond the trees up ahead. But now and again, I’d catch the familiar glint of her wing— a pocket of gold in the cool landscape.

NEW YORK, NY.- Asya Geisberg Gallery is presenting "The Physic Garden," Angelina Gualdoni's fifth solo exhibition with the gallery. Continuing on the themes of her previous body of work, Gualdoni plunges ever deeper into the synergy between the mysteries of herbalism, alchemy, and historical uses of plants, and the elusive painting process. Paintings of root systems, a healer or budding pharmacist, alembic distilling laboratories, and an eerily glowing apothecary cabinet round out the exhibition. An avid forager, Gualdoni embraces the search for edible mushrooms in the wild, finding a parallel to conjuring imagery out of poured paint. "When foraging, one learns to use soft eyes and different lenses - shifting between shape, pattern, texture, color, to see through thickets and briars, sometimes losing the forest for the trees. The sensual can override the analytic, only to snap back into a delighted surge of dopamine, when one recognizes it: there, it is," explains the artist.
Just as individual plants become distilled into potions or churned into salves, so the artist's alchemy turns pigments, oils, and brushwork into concrete notions. A pool of color, seepage, or runny mark all suggest the vapors of a chemical reaction, and deftly weave and disperse narrative threads. Physic gardens were often grown at monasteries and large estates for medicinal and cooking purposes, with sections organized by common uses. These gardens symbolize the human attempt to gain mastery over our fate and our environment. In the eponymous painting "The Physic Garden," we see the origin of all we imbibe - its primeval state, before we harness nature's powers through trial and error over the millenia. Showing us what lies beneath our feet in one painting, a cross-section illustrative view in another, and a dive into an unruly compost, Gualdoni guides us to burrow and connect the tendrils of her inquiry. An old woman, dressed with an enigmatically patterned apron, represents an herbalist. We see the tools of the alchemical trade in another. The exhibition provides us a table of contents to an unearthed ancient textbook full of arcane yet necessary knowledge.
In the "Confections" series of small paintings, we see two planes: a softly dyed pattern upon which a small tarot-card like rectangle shows a plant, like pages of a scientific tome or illustrated manuscript, except here the meaning remains opaque, lacking the information required. The interplay between two and three dimensions, and the need to classify and contain the unruly and unexplainable, is perfectly conjured in these liquid works.
Adding to her already rich vocabulary of watery and more toothsome painting approaches, many works in the show share a repetitive white mark. The artist's studio is surrounded by auto repair shops and industrial sites, a milieu where foraging means finding scraps of debris. Walking through her urban environment, Gualdoni picked up strings from the sidewalk, in an area where nary a tree could grow. Months later, she found a new way to put on paint - via the strings - with a resultant mark that evoked woodblock prints, medieval illustrations, and ancient ways of endowing line with narrative and rhythmic power. They also suggest a ghostly thread, a lacy overlay that allows the pour to throb underneath. The overall result shows the intriguing mixture of methods the artist employs to concoct her own infusions, inspired by the centuries of nuns, monks, and proto-scientists searching for curative powers among the weeds, mushrooms, roots, and flowers in our midst.
Angelina Gualdoni received her BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, and her MFA from the University of Illinois in Chicago. Her paintings have been the subject of solo and group shows nationally and internationally at the Crystal Flowers Art Salon, NY, Trestle Gallery, Brooklyn, NY, the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, KS, Tufts University Galleries, Boston, MA, Queens Museum, NY, St. Louis Art Museum, MO, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, IL, The Aldrich Museum, Connecticut, the Museum de Paviljoens, Netherlands, and the Neuberger Museum, Purchase, NY. Her work resides in the Saatchi Collection, as well as the MCA, Chicago, and the Nerman Museum, Kansas City. She has been the beneficiary of several grants and fellowships, including New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) in 2008 and 2015, the Daynard Faculty Research Award, Artadia, and Pollock-Krasner, and has attended residencies at Carrizozo AIR (upcoming), Vermont Studio Center, MacDowell Colony, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, International Studio and Curatorial Program, and Chateau La Napoule. Gualdoni lives and works in New York.
The artist would like to acknowledge the Daynard Faculty Travel Fellowship at Tufts, New York Foundation for the Arts, and Golden Artist Colors, as well as the enduring support of her friends and family, all of which made this show possible. | <urn:uuid:a5c12910-f312-49fb-a78a-ecd81441358f> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://artdaily.cc/news/133573/Asya-Geisberg-Gallery-opens-Angelina-Gualdoni-s-fifth-solo-exhibition-with-the-gallery | 2024-02-23T10:23:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.935741 | 1,084 |

The State Senate campaign of Amber Small has released a statement refuting allegations leveled in Republican-funded campaign literature that has accused her of violating federal restrictions on the political activities of non-profit organizations that receive government funding.
Small is denying these allegations, and takes issue with writer John Duke.
The statement reads:
“The issues being raised by John Duke, who according to Frank Parlato is James DePasquale’s campaign manager are outright lies, misleading and baseless attempts at unethical character assassination by a publication. For example, the Hatch Act does not even apply as I am not a federal employee. A quick search on google should be sufficient research.
The Republican party has been using baseless allegations and manipulation to try and undermine the democratic process. That’s all this is.
I will continue to be focused on a positive campaign and staying out of dirty politics that have broken the people’s trust. I will continue to put our communities first.”
But that might not be entirely accurate.
“The Hatch Act can apply to employees of a private, not-for-profit organization ‘if it receives federal funding and if federal legislation other than the Hatch Act contains a provision that the recipient not-for-profit should be treated as a state or local agency for the purposes of the Act,’” writes local attorney Alan Bedenko, who is closely aligned with Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz.
“I know plenty of employees of non-profits who engage in political activities, because working for a non-profit doesn’t shut down someone’s 1st Amendment rights to engage in political activity or speech,” he is careful to note.
Small is in a tight primary contest against former State Senator Al Coppola for the Democratic Party nomination, which will take place on Tuesday, September 13th. It has been rumored among political operatives that Poloncarz, despite publicly endorsing Small, is privately backing Coppola.
Sources say that internal campaign polling earlier this summer had Coppola leading Small by slightly more than 10 points, but Small has been a strong fundraiser while Coppola has committed to self-financing his primary effort.
Political prognosticators say the race is a toss up.
The Small campaign has provided images to The Daily Public, an online platform managed by operatives closely aligned with Democratic Party headquarters, that the campaign says makes their case.
An event program printed by the Parkside Community Association included an advertisement for Executive Director Amber Small’s State Senate campaign. Small has said that the federal Hatch Act does not apply in this case.
The Small campaign provided an image of what appears to be check. The campaign claims that it was used to purchase an advertisement from the Parkside Community Association. Though the image appears clearly, we are unable to independently verify the authenticity of the document.
Peter Reese, the region’s preeminent election law expert, sees the situation differently than Bedenko.
“I think Hatch Act violations and the IRS prohibition on political activity by 501(c)(3) corporations are two different things. Hatch Act violations would depend on what part of Ms. Small’s salary is being paid by the federal government,” Reese explains. “The IRS will not allow any substantial amount of political activity to be undertaken by what is supposed to be a charitable, educational or scientific entity.”
“Given the political necessities of running a community association, it is surprising that Amber has not taken a leave of absence from her day job to run for the Senate,” he wonders. “She is a perennial candidate, having run for the County Legislature in 2014 and seeking to be nominated for Delaware District Councilman last year. In 2014, she stated she would be a part time legislator. That would have shorted both the citizens and the PCA.”
Monica Cichon, who sits on the board of directors of the Parkside Community Association, has been advocating through social media on Small’s behalf.
“For the last 4 1/2 years I have been the president of the board of directors of the PCA and can absolutely say that there have never been any resources used by the PCA for political purposes,” she writes online. “The PCA is one of the oldest and most vibrant community associations in Western New York and stands on a proud 53 year history of serving the residents of Parkside.”
Some observers say that the GOP allegations have left the Small campaign confused and bitter. Many Small volunteers have taken to vent their frustrations on social media platforms like Facebook.
“This drivel is also the reason why all of the best former-Artvoice journalists left to form The Public, and why no one reads Artvoice anymore,” writes Erin Lynn, who backs Small’s Senate campaign, seemingly in the throws of desperation.
It is unclear if blaming the media will deflect from the legal issue at hand. | <urn:uuid:4380ffc9-97b8-4849-940a-dfa4e64d48cd> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://artvoice.com/2016/09/small-refutes-gop-allegations-hatch-act-violations/ | 2024-02-23T11:00:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.9641 | 1,033 |
Mindfulness in Waste Management as a Catalyst to Realising the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals
Dr Praveena Nair A/P Sivasankaran
At the intersection of waste management, mindfulness, and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) lies an unexplored landscape of transformative potential. This is as they are not merely independent ideas but interconnected gears in the machinery of global sustainability.
A Crisis Overlooked: The True Implications of Waste Management
The act of managing waste does not simply mean discarding trash in an appropriate place. It serves as a linchpin for complex, global issues such as environmental justice, public health, and economic growth. Poor waste management contributes to polluted oceans, greenhouse gas emissions, and inequality, making it far more than just a localised issue — it is a global crisis that necessitates urgent action and attention.
Mindfulness: A State of Awareness with Global Consequences
Transcending its origins in wellness and spirituality to serve as a cornerstone for tackling complex societal challenges, mindfulness awakens a keen sense of awareness regarding our daily consumption patterns and waste disposal habits. For example, a soda may seem trivial when discarded, but a mindful approach to its disposal can make a tangible difference in the fight against pollution and waste.
Synergies with the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs)
As a comprehensive framework for tackling the planet’s most pressing challenges, each goal offers a unique opportunity to integrate mindful waste management practices.
1. No Poverty: Responsible waste management can open doors to economic opportunities such as the creation of new jobs, specifically in recycling, composting, and waste sorting sectors, as well as uplift impoverished communities.
2. Zero Hunger: Composting food waste creates nutrient-rich soil for farming. Mindfulness in consumption and waste can reduce food waste, which is essential for combating hunger.
3. Good Health and Well-Being: Proper waste disposal prevents the spread of diseases caused by water and soil pollution – leading to cleaner surroundings and better public health.
4. Quality Education: Educational institutions can include waste management and mindfulness as part of their curricula. Teaching the younger generation to be mindful of their waste can inspire future leaders to create sustainable policies.
5. Gender Equality: Ensuring that waste management projects include both men and women – citizens who are most affected by improper waste disposal practices – can be a step towards gender equality.
6. Clean Water and Sanitation: Crucial for human health, mindful waste management means ensuring toxins and waste do not pollute water bodies.
7. Affordable and Clean Energy: Through waste-to-energy technologies, waste management can contribute to creating cleaner renewable energy that can result in more sustainable energy solutions.
8. Decent Work and Economic Growth: Creating sustainable jobs in the waste management sector contributes to decent work conditions with no exploitation of workers seen for the rise of economic growth.
9. Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure: Mindfulness can inspire innovative solutions for waste reduction and recycling, thus contributing to sustainable industrial practices.
10. Reduced Inequality: Being mindful of how waste impacts different communities can help reduce inequality by implementing waste management practices.
11. Sustainable Cities and Communities: Mindfulness encourages responsible consumption patterns and effective waste management, essential for building sustainable cities and communities.
12. Responsible Consumption and Production: Being mindful of what and how much one consumes inevitably leads to reduced waste and, therefore, more responsible consumption and production.
13. Climate Action: Effective waste management can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Mindfulness about energy consumption and waste can contribute to global climate action.
14. Life Below Water: Mindful waste management means preventing harmful waste from entering our oceans, thus protecting marine life.
15. Life on Land: Similarly, proper waste disposal protects terrestrial ecosystems from degradation – playing a role in preserving biodiversity.
16. Peace and Justice, Strong Institutions: Transparency in waste management policies contributes to building trust among communities, which is essential for peace and justice.
17. Partnership for the Goals: Mindful waste management requires multi-stakeholder partnerships to encourage responsible waste disposal and achieve these global goals.
It is evident that waste management and mindfulness are not mere buzzwords but essential strategies in achieving the UN SDGs. Therefore, integrating mindful waste management practices into policy and community programmes becomes not just an option but a necessity for global sustainability.
To see these theoretical concepts in action, the upcoming PERMINDA Symposium scheduled from 9.00am to 5.00pm on November 20th & 21st at Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus, The Grand Hall, presents an opportunity for society to adopt a multi-pronged approach to a sustainable future. Spearheaded by Taylor’s Clean Technology Impact Lab and the School of Engineering, this event serves as a platform to break down the silos by showcasing the confluence of waste management, mindfulness, and the UN’s SDGs – imperative initiatives for the global community.
Secure a spot in this transformative journey HERE. Together, we can make our world a better place — one mindful step at a time.

By Jocelle Koh, Sinead
This International Women’s Week 2020, take a listen and delve into the soundscape of female empowerment in Mandarin music today. As we well and truly enter a new decade, the Mandopop ballads and sad love songs from the ‘90s and early noughties seem worlds away. As attitudes change and influences diversify, we’ve too noticed that the strains of feminist thought have also evolved greatly in this genre of popular music. From the ‘sisterhood’ vibes of the early 2000s (老婆 Wife (S.H.E)，如果的事 If Only (Christine Fan 范瑋琪, Angela Chang 張韶涵)）to the ‘self love’ themes of 2010s （我愛我 Love Yourself (Elva Hsiao 蕭亞軒)，The Great Artist 大藝術家 (Jolin Tsai 蔡依林)), female artists nowadays continue to embody different versions of femininity that are less homogenous; and rather than allowing themselves to be defined by singular themes, are now characterised by their out-of-the-box nature.
Fluid and empowering, up-and-coming female artists have in recent years introduced a more carefree strain of feminist thought to the scene. Rather than exploring femininity within the constraints of love and relationships, these artists draw inspiration from their ambition; their role models; their experiences and their essence in ways that embrace the imperfections of humanity and paint pictures of individualistic, intelligent, unique women trying to make the world a better place. While there is much progress to be made before Eastern society truly achieves gender equality, I’m heartened by the ladies we currently have on the musical frontline. Below we explore songs that merely make up the beginning of our musical feminist manifesto below. Ladies – enjoy!
9m88 – Aim High
In Facebook CEO Sheryl Sandberg’s feminist manifesto ‘Lean In’, she spoke about something called ‘The Leadership Ambition Gap’ and how society discourages and internalises a lack of ambition in women. While ambition is often seen as a desirable trait in men, in women it is often read as threatening, aggressive and undesirable. Jazz/R&B singer 9m88 throws these conceptions out the window in this laidback track that just keeps on giving. A couple of simple beats with jazzy, reflective keys, Baba lays down a dynamic melody that starts slow, but continues to reach unexpected peaks even till the song ends. In equal parts optimistic with tones of steely determination, she sings openly and confidently about her drive, her doubts, most importantly, her ambition. It’s more than okay to be ambitious; it’s a prerequisite for a better future, and Baba is leading the way to it.
Ann Bai 白安 – Frida
Inspired deeply by Mexican painter Frida Kahlo’s story, Taiwanese singer Ann Bai 白安 took a leap of faith, releasing her first English song dedicated to the feminist icon’s impact and unconventional philosophy. Against pensive, dissonant tinkling undercurrents with a constant tick-tocking that could represent the fragility of life, Bai sings: “Find a way/Find a place/You deserve the wings of life’s embrace/Find a way/Leave a trace/Find a way’ Using clever subtle phrases that simultaneously pay homage to Kahlo’s style of magic realism whilst telling her story, Bai’s airy vocals do this song justice; bringing with her a quiet, steady confidence. Music is a perfect medium for telling stories, and this is one story that marks an important milestone in the current scene. As one of few singers who has consistently embodied her message of self-discovery and freedom from societal conventions, Ann has certainly left a trace; at least for me.
Karencici 楊凱倫 – Apple Of My Eye 蕾絲邊和髮夾
Young up-and-coming R&B/Reggae/Dancehall artist Karencici asserts her individualism and right to wear makeup and feel confident in her own skin on a track from her debut album ‘Apple of my eye’. In a classic show of lipstick feminism, she sings in sultry tones over a sensual spanish-inspired track about her love for (and right to) doll herself up for herself rather than for others. On the song, she sings: “I can wear cool sneakers today/And change into heels tomorrow/Girls don’t be down on yourself for being imperfect/As long as you know, know how to indulge in becoming beautiful’. Karen’s perspective is especially refreshing. Previously citing her single parent upbringing as something which influenced her significantly, the artist’s songs are unconsciously a succinct and vibrant snapshot of what it means to be a confident, outspoken young women navigating society in this era.
Enno Cheng 鄭宜農 feat. Hsien Ching Chen 陳嫻靜 – 街仔路雨落袂停 At a rainy night (Would you walk me home?)
What happens when you put indie queer icon Enno Cheng 陳宜農 together with cult rap darling Chen Hsien Ching 陳嫻靜? All is revealed in their duet on Cheng’s Taiwanese dialect track from her latest album. Both performers are in their own ways unconventional representations of femininity in the Asian entertainment scene. Cheng has been open about her queer identity since 2016 and continues to break stereotypical norms with her inherently feminine appearance, whilst Chen, as one of a handful of female rappers on the scene has been making waves with her gentle, feminine flows and penchant for baggy gender neutral outfits. A track characterised by eerie, alien-like theremin sounds and a groovy, grungy bass, the two sing refreshingly of walking alone on a rainy night and taking in the sights and sounds. Through back-and-forth riffs in an atmosphere heady with Taiwanese humidity, these diverse ladies show that being alone does not always equate to loneliness in a stunning show of solidarity and stereotype ass-kicking.
Bibi Zhou 周筆暢 – Flow 女流
Bibi Zhou 周筆暢 is no newcomer on the C-pop scene, having first made her debut on the singing survival programme Super Girl back in 2005. Apart from being known for her distinctive husky vocals, she has constantly reinvented her music style, unsurprisingly breaking new ground yet again with her new album. The album and single title, ‘LUNAR’, references the experience of the menstrual cycle and its tracks pick apart the historical stereotypes associated with this time. So the track, whose Mandarin name ‘nu liu’ directly translates to ‘female flow’, features a heavily stylised MV and lyrics which reimagine this phenomenon in positive terms, celebrating it as both a natural phenomenon and a moment of female rebirth. Zhou’s ethereal vocals and shimmering electronic sheen lifts this song from a retro R’n’B mix to a boundary breaking anthem of female empowerment.
Jasmine Sokko – SHH 噓
In an EDM scene frequently dominated by male artists, Singaporean-born artist Jasmine Sokko cuts a striking figure alongside a new wave of female DJs such as Yaeji, Peggy Gou and Mizu96. Although she’s been making music since she was just 13, Sokko has previously acknowledged the existing prejudice against females working in the industry, noting that “people aren’t used to women being in charge”. However this has clearly not dented her passion for making the music she loves; ‘SHH’ boasts a futuristic soundscape created through an intricate layering of samples and beats. Over this she sings about the importance of women believing in themselves and going after their dreams; silencing the critical voices of outsiders. Taken from her debut album, this track offers a tantalising glimpse of Sokko’s future potential.

As the current Japanese racing season ends on December 31, it is terribly sad to have to come to the realisation that the reign, as King of Japanese breeding, by that great horse Deep Impact (2002-2019) has ended.

For an amazing eleven consecutive seasons from 2012 to 2022 Deep Impact was at the top of Japan’s leading sires according to prizemoney won by progeny. In 2023, he will not even run second or third.
To understand why, one must turn to the events of 2019. In that year Deep Impact served only twenty mares because he was having problems with his neck. Deep Impact was withdrawn from stud duties in the hope that he would recover. He did not and at the end of June they laid him down for an operation. It appeared to have been successful. The next day, June 30th, he could not get back up onto his legs. An X-ray revealed that his cervical (neck) spine had been fractured. Deep Impact was then euthanised.
In 2020 those twenty mares produced only twelve foals. Six of them were destined to race in Japan-the rest in Europe. That meant that this year Deep Impact had no 2YOs and only a handful of 3YOs. Next year it will be worse. However, his greatness as a sire shone through with the six that went to Europe. This year Deep Impact has sired the winner of the Epsom Derby, Auguste Rodin. The very same horse also won the Irish Derby and the Irish Champion Stakes before going to USA where he won the $USA 4M Breeders (Turf) Cup 12f. All of these were all G1 races.
Last year Auguste Rodin was ranked as one of the best juveniles in Europe after winning the G1 Doncaster Futurity Trophy (8f). Five G1s sculpted from a career of only ten starts. The dam of Auguste Rodin is a triple G1 winning daughter of Galileo- Rhododendron (2014) whom Coolmore Stud had sent over to Japan to be served by Deep Impact. When a stud like Coolmore, with their own powerful stallion roster, is prepared to patronise a sire in Japan that serves as the ultimate measure of the esteem in which Deep Impact was held as a sire.

Global breeding over the last thirty years has seen the rise of what might be termed “SUPERSTAR STALLIONS”- sires who can dominate a sires’ list more than ten times. There have only been five such. DEEP IMPACT was one and these are the other four:
SADLERS WELLS (by Northern Dancer) (1981-2011) headed the sires list for UK and Ireland fourteen times- the last time in 2004. In addition, he was leading sire in France three times. He earned seventeen titles.
His son GALILEO (1998-2021) did it twelve times for the sires list for UK and Ireland -the first in 2008 than in consecutive years 2010-2020. He was also champion French sire twice, giving him a total of fourteen titles.
DANEHILL (1986-2003) was three times champion sire UK and Ireland; twice champion sire in France and nine times in Australia, for a total of fourteen titles.
SUNDAY SILENCE (1986-2002), the sire of Deep Impact, dominated the Japanese sires’ list for thirteen consecutive seasons (1995-2007).
(N.B. NORTHERN DANCER the most influential stallion of the last century, only headed the North American sire list once, in 1971. Mostly because his best progeny did not race there. He headed the UK and Ireland sires list four times being 1970, 1977, 1983 and 1984).
DEEP IMPACT’s story begins with SUNDAY SILENCE. He had been the best of his generation in the USA wining two of the three Triple Crown classic races -the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes- and finishing second in the Belmont Stakes. While a 3YO he also won the $3M Breeders Cup Classic (10f). He only ran twice as a 4YO before an injured ligament forced his retirement. Sunday Silence had run fourteen times for nine wins and five seconds.
As a 5YO Sunday Silence began stud duties at Shadai Farms Japan. His record as a sire would have been even better but for his premature death at age 16. In May 2002, he began suffering from laminitis and then a leg infection. He was in constant pain before suffering a heart attack in August that year.
Earlier, on March 25th that same year, was born his most famous son Deep Impact. The Australian Stud Book described Sunday Silence as “bay or brown” but he was closer to black and Deep Impact is more that colour than the “bay” that appears beside his name in the ASB. As his victories and fame are a matter of recent memory it suffices to now state that he had raced fourteen times for 12 wins a second and a famous 3rd from which placing he was later disqualified for retuning a positive swab.

Deep Impact was a classic performer who won the 3YO Triple Crown. His twelve wins included seven G1s and three G2s. Deep Impact was voted best 3YO in Japan for 2005 and Horse of the Year 2006 and 2007, with an incredible Timeform rating of 135.
There is one record he established that should be considered by Australians wanting to win the Melbourne Cup. As a 4YO when winning the Tenno Sho, he set a world record for 3200m of 3.13.4. The way in which races are timed in Japan is different from in Australia as the race time is clocked from a “flying start” but, even allowing for that, this time is remarkable. The record time for the 3200m Melbourne Cup is 3.16.3 set by Kingston Rule in 1990, at a time before compliant watering of the course became fashionable. In the coming years it is almost certain that there will be a winner of this Cup with Deep Impact in its pedigree. It is worth noting that his grandson After The Impact won a 3000m restricted race at Moonee valley on Friday Dec 16th by eight lengths at start number 13 and is now 3/3 at 2400m and further.
Deep Impact also stood at Shadai farms and began stud duties in 2008. Like his sire, Sunday Silence, it took him only until his first crop were 3YOs to be crowned leading sire, a title he held until late last year.

2022 JAPANESE SIRES LIST (BY EARNINGS)
DEEP IMPACT – by Sunday Silence
HEARTS CRY–by Sunday Silence
KIZUNA– by Deep Impact
The big alteration to this list for the 2023 season is the inclusion of Kitasan Black. He has a most interesting pedigree. He is by Black Tide, a FULL BROTHER TO DEEP IMPACT, born one year earlier.
The big brother to Deep Impact began his career as a December 2YO and showed promise by winning three of his first five races including one at G2 level. At his sixth start, in the G1 Satsuki, Black Tide was injured. This necessitated a long spell from April 18, 2004, until July 23, 2006. He never fully recovered. From his next seventeen starts he recorded no wins and two placings at G3 level and 2 placings at Listed Race level.
At stud he produced only the one top class horse, Kitasan Black. Kitasan Black raced twenty times for twelve wins and six placings including seven at G1 level. The biggest of these was in the Japan Cup 2016 which he won by 2.5L starting favourite. His jockey Yutaka Take described him as “possibly the strongest horse I have ridden.” When Kitasan Black retired at the end of his 5YO season he had amassed prizemoney totalling 1,876,843,000Y, at the time a record for a horse racing in Japan.
KITASAN BLACK winning the Arima Kinen
In 2016 and 2017 Kitasan Black was voted Japanese Horse of the Year, his forte was staying, winning up to 3200m. He went to stud with a fee of 20,000,000 Y. His first crop came in 2019 and has included EQUINOX, last year’s Japanese Horse of the year, and the outstanding winner of this year’s Japan Cup by an incredible 4.5L.
Equinox is now being hailed as the best horse in the world. So Kitasan Black with his eldest only 4YO has made a deep impact (pardonnez moi) on the sires’ list by taking fifth place.
EQUINOX winning the Dubai Sheema Classic
Starting in 1995 and spanning 29 years, Sunday Silence and his son Deep Impact have led the Japanese Sires’ List on all but five occasions. The first of these, in 2008, the leading stallion was Agnes Tachyon (1998-2009) another son of Sunday Silence; then 2009 Manhattan Cafe (1998-2015) was top sire, and he also was a son of Sunday Silence. Following in 2010-11 the champion sire was King Kamehameha (2001-2019) from an altogether different sire line. He was a son of Kingmambo (USA)1990 who in turn was by Mr Prospector (1970). In 2004 King Kamehameha stamped himself the best of his generation by winning five straight including the NHKMile Cup (G1) and the Derby (G1). This winning sequence was brought to a halt when he injured a tendon and was retired. He had raced eight times for seven wins and a second. He is the sire of both Lord Kanaloa and Duramente who occupy first and second spot on the current sires list.
Lord Kanaloa was a specialist sprinter best known for winning the Longines Hong Kong Sprint (6F) in 2012 and again in 2013. He was named Japanese Horse of the Year in 2013 as well as the title of best sprinter-miler. When he retired to stud in 2014 his lifetime record was nineteen starts for thirteen wins and six placings, never missing a place. His first crop went to the races in 2017. Lord Kanaloa had been playing second fiddle to Deep Impact on the sires’ list but now he has arrived. He should be known to Australians because his son Tagaloa, bred to Australian time and out of a Heart’s Cry mare, won the 2020 Blue Diamond. | <urn:uuid:a23eadeb-a1c2-4ca1-93b7-f975f14bb8d7> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://asianracingreport.com/deep-impact-so-endeth-the-reign-of-a-superstar-sire/ | 2024-02-23T10:34:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.978859 | 2,390 |
Asia Society Honors I.M. Pei, Other 'Asia Game Changers' at United Nations
Asia Society honored the legendary architect I.M. Pei with a lifetime achievement award at the third annual Asia Game Changer Awards, an Asia Society celebration held at the United Nations in New York on Thursday night. In addition to Pei, nine other notable Asians were honored for their impact in shaping the world.
Born in China, the 99-year-old Pei is responsible for a number of iconic structures, including the pyramid at the Louvre in Paris, Hong Kong's Bank of China building, and the Kennedy Library. He is also known for his role as a teacher to successive generations of architects. Accompanied by his daughter and grandchildren, Pei addressed the crowd with characteristic humility. "Thank you all for coming. I have nothing to say," he quipped before he expressed his gratitude for the recognition.
Thursday's honorees included Ahmad Sarmast and Karim Wasfi, musicians from Afghanistan and Iraq, respectively, who established music academies amid persistent violence in their countries; Marita Cheng, whose startup Robogals has provided opportunities for women in engineering; Durreen Shahnaz, a pioneering Wall Street financier turned social entrepreneur from Bangladesh; the acclaimed, award-winning Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou; Muzoon Almellehan, a Syrian refugee whose advocacy of education has earned her comparisons to Nobel laureate (and 2014 Asia Game Changer) Malala Yousafzai; and Soo-Man Lee, a Korean impresario under whose stewardship K-pop has emerged as a global phenomenon.
A common theme uniting this year's batch of Asia Game Changers is their courage. Their ranks include Sanduk Ruit, a Nepalese eye surgeon who has cured blindness in some of Asia's poorest countries, including North Korea, and has made eye care affordable and accessible to many others. Sarmast, the Afghan musician, who established the National Institute of Music in Kabul in 2008 when he found there was no orchestra in the country capable of playing the Afghan national anthem. He has educated hundreds of aspiring musicians in the years since, even after surviving a deadly terrorist attack in 2014. And Wasfi, a member of the Iraqi national symphony, who traveled to the site of car bombings in Baghdad to play his cello in the midst of rubble, turning his viral fame into a vehicle for promoting music in his country.
"This is not just devoted to the lives that have been lost — but to those who have decided to live the right," Wasfi said of his award. "It's not just about how we die. It's about how we live."
In 2013, Almellehan arrived at the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan after fleeing her Dara'a, Syria, in the midst of that country's civil war. In this unlikely setting, Muzoon emerged as a forceful advocate for education, in particular stressing the rights of girls to go to school. Now 17, Muzoon's efforts have earned her comparisons to Malala. Despite the teenager's impressive accomplishments, she refused to use her acceptance speech to talk about herself.
"I'm here for millions of children who have lost their hopes and dreams and cannot get their right to an education," she said. "Most people think we cannot change our communities. But we can. Change is difficult. But it's not impossible. We need our knowledge — because our countries need us."
Remarkably, Muzoon wasn't even the youngest Game Changer at this year's ceremony. That would be Joey Alexander, the 13-year-old Indonesian piano prodigy, who dazzled the guests with a performance of an original composition, "City Lights," that kicked off the show. "I don't see myself as a game changer," he said in accepting his award. "I'm a musician — and I play jazz." But, he allowed, "you can make a difference even when you're very young."
As the evening wound to a close, Alexander approached the stage for his second performance of the evening. There, he was joined on stage by Wasfi, the cellist, for an impromptu jazz duet set against the backdrop of the East River — an appropriate way to conclude a celebration of ten remarkable individuals.

While mobile phone technology is one of the best things to have ever happened to us, it has good and bad sides.
Phones have numerous benefits, including communication, payments, commerce, and entertainment. On the flip side, phones have become the primary gadgets for modern-day scams.
From imposters to impersonators, criminals are using all kinds of techniques to rip off their victims. So, if you spend much time on your phone, be guarded.
Common Phone Scams To Watch Out For
There are dozens of phone scams you should watch out for when on your phone. Some happen offline, while others mainly take place online.
The best way to deal with these cons is not to avoid using your gadget but to catch the frauds before becoming a victim. You will need the right tips for identifying and dealing with possible rip-offs. Here are common phone cons used by fraudsters.
Phishing is a con where scammers use messages and emails to trick victims into giving out private information or rob them of money.
During phishing, a con artist will either be an imposter pretending to be a non-existent person or an impersonator using someone else’s stolen identity. Either way, the goal is to get something from a victim.
You can tell a phishing scam by verifying the person’s identity. Simply go to Nuwber and search the email address or phone number to find out who it belongs to.
Fraudulent bank calls
Phone scammers have perfected their art of deception by playing into their victims’ fears. The crooks will call you pretending to be bank officials and alert you of potential fraud.
The intention is to bombard you with too much scary information and then ask for personal details such as passwords or credit card details.
If anyone makes such demands, hang up, stop responding, and call the number from the official website to verify the request.
Nowadays, getting a call or a message claiming you have been randomly selected for a lottery has become super common.
Don’t fall for this, no matter how much you need money. In most of these swindles, fraudsters will tell you to send government fees and taxes through a provided account for the funds to be released.
The second you do, they will disappear with your money, and you’ll never hear from them again.
IRS threat calls.
IRS phone scams are mainly on the rise during the tax season. Fraudsters posing as tax agents will threaten legal action if you don’t make a payment to the specified account.
They will even give a fake badge number and lie to you that police are on their way to make you comply instantly. You can tell it’s a scam because the IRS rarely makes phone calls and never demands payments over the phone.
Fake charity appeals
After tragedies or natural disasters, many people sympathize with the victims and have the goodwill to assist in different capacities.
Crooks count on this kindness to get money from the well-wishers. You can avoid this trick by not making donations to unverified callers.
Instead, conduct thorough research to verify the information before sending any items or money. Again, choose to work with reputable charity organizations rather than those that reach out to you.
Celebrities began hosting online concerts during the COVID-19 pandemic and increased interactions with their fans during that time.
Scammers have since considered this an opportunity to trick people and rip them off their money. A con may use a social media account to impersonate a celebrity and engage a victim.
After becoming familiar with each other, the fraudster will ask the victim for money, claiming they will pay back in a few days. However, the second you send the money, they block you, and that’s it.
Event ticket scams
Big events such as sporting activities or music concerts attract thousands of people. Scammers know this, and they will have numerous phone cons either by calls or messages pretending to sell you tickets.
After paying, a fake ticket number is given, and you will only realize you have been swindled when you are denied entry at the gate.
To avoid this scam, only pay for tickets from official officials and always confirm the event’s venue, date, and organizers.
Besides phishing frauds, crooks also use pop-ups to rip off phone users. That is particularly so for smartphone users who have internet access. The swindler will send them malware or viruses as pop-ups or links.
After opening these pop-ups and links, malware is downloaded into your gadget and is used to steal personal data. You can mitigate this risk by not opening pop-ups or links that appear suspicious or from sources you can’t verify.
The more time you spend on your phone, the higher the chances of getting scammed. But the solution is not to keep off your gadget. Instead, take time to learn about the risks you are exposed to and how to address them.
Most phone scams are phishing and pop-ups since we mainly use these gadgets for communication and browsing. There are also dozens of other ways people are ripped off, so be cautious when dealing with suspicious individuals. | <urn:uuid:06a61726-7240-4e4b-8ef7-1ba6d7444ab2> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://atechsavvy.com/social/phone-call-scams/ | 2024-02-23T09:14:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.950652 | 1,079 |

Three is a trend, as they say, and following in the footsteps of the Nintendo Switch and Valve Steam Deck is the ROG Ally (starts at $599.99; $699.99 as tested), Asus' very own big-screen dual-stick handheld. You'll notice major differences among the devices, though: The Ally is a Windows 11-based handheld, which provides a layer of familiarity, accessibility, and (crucially) full compatibility with PC gaming libraries. Plus, the power potential of the Ally's "Zen 4"-based AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, debuting in this device, is impressive yet limited in this form factor.
The Ally is capable of mostly smooth gaming experiences, so long as you’re willing to lower graphics settings and accept suboptimal frame rates at times (like with the Steam Deck). You'll find further caveats surrounding the battery life while gaming, and some finicky Windows controls, but the quality product design and clever Asus software make this a legitimately fun handheld PC-gaming experience at a lower price than even a cheap gaming laptop.
ROG Ally vs. Steam Deck: Two Sides of the Same Coin
Before diving into the specs and features, let’s look at the bigger picture. The obvious point of comparison for the Ally is Valve’s Steam Deck, so pitting the two against one another seems the obvious solution—surely a winner can be decided, right? For a large segment of shoppers, that is the reality; you’re going to buy just one of these devices. Only a niche group will have the desire or funds to buy both, and picking which is right for you is a big decision, given the costs.
But I’d like to at least frame the comparison in that way: The two are different, and neither is objectively better than the other. I have found numerous advantages one has over the other, but also many downsides. For example, the Ally is Windows-based, which opens up doors, but limits flexibility or accessibility in some use cases.
Before you get up in arms, know this: The Ally is not an immediate "Steam Deck killer," and we don’t need to open up another front in the console wars. But it is a valid alternative, especially in some markets where Asus has superior availability and popularity. Of course, I've compared the two in terms of features and performance here—just keep in mind that options are a positive thing.
A Slick-Looking Handheld
My initial impressions of the design from my hands-on preview session (the video of that is embedded below) have only grown more strongly after using the device for a longer period. The all-white case looks sharp, and since the body is also fairly slim, it’s a pretty slick-looking console; the thicker all-black Steam Deck looks a bit chunkier. The white color choice will not please everyone, but it undeniably has style.
It’s also hard to ignore the circular RGB lighting at the base of each control stick. You can apply various colors and effects, or you can turn them off entirely if they aren’t to your liking. I think they do add a bit of fun, though they can be a bit distracting. Color-changing RGB lighting is inherently an eye-catcher, and sometimes as your thumb moves on the stick, it covers and uncovers the light in your line of sight, which can make it flicker in your eyes, essentially. It's a minor issue, but the RGB did pull my eye away while playing several times.
Despite the Ally’s fully plastic build, it feels well made and sturdy—not cheap and flimsy. You'll find a textured grip on the handles that both makes it easier to hold and feels better to the touch. Initially, the handles seem somewhat insubstantial, but after using the device for a few minutes, that thought slips away. I usually didn't register that I was holding a fairly sizable device while playing even after hours of use.
Part of that is down to the weight, which is slightly less than the Steam Deck, though still notably heftier than the Switch. At the preview event, Asus explained that one of the goals during the design phase was a weight of 600 grams or about 1.32 pounds. The Ally’s final weight rests at 608 grams or 1.34 pounds, so the team came pretty close (and stopped there to preserve performance). The Steam Deck weighs about 1.47 pounds (667 grams), while the Switch weighs only 0.88 pound (399 grams) with the Joycons attached.
The Ally display is a big upside here, as it looks excellent and has the specs to back it up. It’s a 7-inch full HD (1080p) touch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and 500 nits of rated brightness. The resolution is a step up from the Steam Deck’s sub-HD display, though a higher resolution is also more difficult for a handheld like this to run, as I’ll get to in the performance section later.
Overall, the Ally is pleasant to use. Holding the device for a long period while gaming isn’t uncomfortable despite the size, and the display looks sharp and vibrant. The speakers are also surprisingly decent quality for their size—the sound comes through crisply and richly enough, and it can get loud when needed. A headphone jack is included, too. It will likely see plenty of use.
The control sticks also feel substantial and responsive. They may be a touch small for some games, like shooters, but adjusting stick dead zones and sensitivity hopefully results in the right calibration for you. You'll also find two rear macro trigger buttons, which you can customize to suit your needs on a per-game basis.
I find these triggers a bit easier to reach than the Steam Deck’s rear buttons, though still not quite as accessible as high-end controller rear paddles. You can use these buttons on a game-by-game basis, as a Function key modifier, and for quick actions like taking a screenshot. On a related note, the Ally has no equivalent to the Steam Deck's touchpads. For some, that's a big miss; the pads mimic a mouse fairly well in some games on the Steam Deck, though I haven't used them often—not even in more strategic games.
Familiar Friends: Windows and Asus Software Combine
The hardware is the obvious eye-catcher, but truthfully, it’s the software that really makes or breaks a product like this. Let’s walk through what is here before touching on how it feels to control. The big draw, as mentioned, is that the Ally is fully Windows-based. The Steam Deck rather runs Linux, with a Proton emulation layer, as well as SteamOS in the default handheld-friendly mode.
Asus installed real-deal Windows 11 Home on the Ally, not a pared-down or simplified version of the OS. This is key for a few reasons. One is the widespread familiarity of Windows—it’s the most popular personal-computing OS, and it doesn’t represent a learning curve for millions of users. We all know of plenty of enthusiasts and gamers who have never had a reason to experiment with Linux.
The other main draw is that you can simply install and run any Windows-based applications on the Ally. The Steam Deck’s verification and compatibility system is not necessary here; if it runs on Windows, it works on the ROG Ally. That’s a boon for a plethora of programs, especially if you plan to use the Ally as a PC frequently, but it's an equally big win for gaming. The native version of Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass, and easy installations of every game store, make access to every new PC game so much easier.
To get ahead of the enthusiast and DIY crowd: I know you have workarounds to access a variety of software or game launchers working on the Steam Deck. You can find a guide to set up the (inferior) cloud version of Xbox Game Pass, for instance, or to get the Epic store up and running. The Steam Deck, in one sense, is ideal for these tinkerers and Linux lovers.
I own and use a Steam Deck, and its flexibility is definitely an upside—but most of you are not going to go through with some of those processes. We’re mostly looking at the out-of-the-box and “officially” supported options here, which don’t require a walkthrough, additional software downloads, or fiddling.
While you can get some of these stores running on the Steam Deck as well, downloading and installing a program as you would on a PC, and it working as intended, is much easier than seeking out workarounds for the average shopper. This is particularly true for the Ally, which will be sold in retail stores by a major PC maker, and is a more mass-market product. Getting (some of) these game clients and stores on the Steam Deck isn’t impossible, but we have to give major points for it being way easier on the Ally.
The ROG Ally's Software: Open the Armoury Crate
Asus, crucially, also includes software of its own. I don’t blame you if you think that sounds negative at first. Gaming machines and laptops are famous for being loaded up with bloatware before you buy, but the inclusions here are genuinely useful. I may even go as far as to say they’re key to using the Ally smoothly and effectively.
A dedicated button to the left of the screen pulls up an Asus Command Center overlay menu. This allows you to change brightness, set a frame-rate limit, change resolution, and access a few other options. Two of the key inclusions are the Operating Mode and Control Mode toggles: The former swaps the performance level of the system (more on this later), and the latter swaps among gamepad mode, desktop mode, and auto.
These are key to navigating Windows. Gamepad Mode will act like a controller, and it is useful for Steam’s Big Picture Mode, in games, and in some menus. Desktop Mode, meanwhile, turns the control stick into an approximation of a mouse. This allows you to steer the cursor around the desktop like a mouse, and press the stick inward to click—I’ll touch on this experience in a moment. You can, of course, also connect a mouse—Asus included a USB-C port, as well as Bluetooth—but you’ll need the right surface to use one, which undermines travel and couch use.
Another piece of Asus software, Armoury Crate, helps avoid the need to navigate Steam and your game libraries on the desktop altogether. A dedicated button to the right of the screen opens the Armoury Crate menu, which includes options to edit system settings and customize the layout and order of the Command Center.
Armoury Crate’s best feature, however, is the unified game library. This pulls games from every game store or client you have installed, placing all of your Steam, Game Pass, Ubisoft Connect, GOG, and other libraries in one place. It displays them all as large tiles with their names and images, similar to Big Picture Mode or the SteamOS interface on the Steam Deck. It’s a clever way to circumvent clicking through various libraries.
Using the Ally as a Windows PC
So, the Ally runs Windows, and behaves like a PC, but how does it feel to navigate with all of this hardware and software combined? It may sound like a lot to take in, but it’s actually quite intuitive: Within a couple of hours, I understood how to most quickly get from point A to point B, and which combination of menus and control modes would make that the easiest.
Navigation is not without its pain points, though, even after the learning curve. I generally don’t mind using the touch screen and control stick in desktop mode to navigate my desktop, but I've found times when it’s too finicky. For one, the default speed may be too much for some finer selections and can test your patience, like when trying to use a slider bar, and any slower is much worse than a mouse.
The “Auto” Control Mode option also doesn’t seem smart enough contextually. When set to Auto, which should swap between gamepad and desktop mode when appropriate, the mouse cursor will stop moving when Steam pops up, which is jarring when I could just continue moving the cursor over to the game column and launch something. It’d be one thing if the control stick would then allow you to navigate Steam, but that only works in Big Picture Mode. So, I’ve become accustomed to quickly hitting the left-side Command Center button and tapping Control Mode to toggle between desktop and handheld mode as needed.
That’s how most of my navigation experience on the Ally has been: workable, albeit with quirks. I know why and when certain control schemes or menus won’t work, but Asus built in helpful and fast tools to quickly swap schemes and menus on the fly. In a sense, that makes even the roadblocks seem slick, though it would still be preferable if they weren’t present at all. But none of them is all that big of a deal, and I generally didn’t have an issue navigating files as well as installing and launching games and apps.
One area in which the software can’t really help is the keyboard—you can, of course, connect a wireless keyboard, but like using a mouse, that’s not always practical unless you’re at a desk. As with many tablets and other devices before it, an onscreen keyboard does the job but is far from ideal. At least the power button includes a fingerprint sensor, so you can sign in to the device without typing your password.
While Windows is a plus in many ways, SteamOS has its own advantages. Big Picture Mode is a close equivalent when you want to escape to a control-stick-friendly layout, but that layer of friction with this being a Windows device will always exist. SteamOS convenience goes beyond navigation, too. It has excellent game-sleep and -suspend features, for example, which make a huge difference for handheld gaming. (And to reiterate: Yes, some users will seek to and succeed in getting SteamOS on their Windows machine, and vice versa.)
The Ally, again, will experience games just like a laptop would—you can lock or sleep the device, but the game is just minimized; it’s not as reliable or smooth as the “hard pause” sleep and suspend game features in SteamOS. Everyone knows why few people just turn their PCs off with the games still running. I did try this on the Ally: the device turned the screen off and didn’t crash when I signed back in, but the game isn’t really suspended (and will likely chew the battery as a result).
On the whole, while I see some friction and a small learning curve, I’m pleased to use the Ally as a sort of handheld Windows PC. Obviously, the form factor is not that conducive to browsing the web or doing work without a mouse or keyboard, but you can do so at a desk. At that point, a laptop or desktop is surely preferable, but you may also want to carry only one machine.
The Ally can also connect to an external display, but it's not something I had time to extensively test in the review time frame. A dock is strongly recommended given the device has only one USB-C port; Asus is sending along a charging dock accessory for this purpose, sold separately, but we did not receive it in time for review. Additionally, the Ally is compatible with Asus' separate XG Mobile eGPU, the first of which we reviewed a few years back. It's been updated since with more powerful GPU options, but the idea is that you connect the Ally (or another compatible device, originally the ROG Flow) to this external GPU, and it provides more graphics power than the device can natively. That's a nice option for when you're set up at a desk, but that said, we don't have one on hand for this review, and it's a very expensive product that most shoppers won't have.
And so, especially for the purposes of this review (and not enough review lead time to try every scenario), I mostly used the Ally in handheld mode to install, launch, and play games, and less for a dive into how it serves as a PC. The big question is how well it performed, so on to the hardware and performance.
Component Check: Introducing AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme
Asus stated at the preview event that it worked on the Ally for five years, so the design and internals aren’t a reaction to the Steam Deck or a flash in the pan. Thought went into this design and especially the cooling system, which is a particularly important hurdle for a device that will be held in all sorts of orientations. The thermal solution needs to work at an odd angle, or facing downward (say, when you’re laying in bed), to adapt and still function just as well as if it were in another position.
For this purpose, Asus developed “anti-gravity heat pipes,” which is to say a vapor chamber and water pipe system that works to cool the system even when it is upside-down. On top of this, you'll find dual back-facing fans that work to actively cool the system, which have been tuned to remain as inaudible as possible under load. The Ally is surprisingly quiet under load, even in the maximum performance mode. It’s audible in that scenario, but not as loud as you’d expect, and definitely within a tolerable range. The lower modes are even quieter, and the silent mode mostly lives up to its name. The Ally never got particularly hot, either, at least not near uncomfortable levels.
A device like this is nothing without the right CPU and GPU, though, and part of five years of development was Asus working with AMD. The result is the Ryzen “Z1” Series, debuting as the accelerated processing unit, or APU, in this system. This platform is based on AMD’s Zen 4 architecture and 4nm process, and the graphics are powered by RDNA3—the company's very newest GPU architecture. Zen 4 is the latest processing platform AMD is using on PC, and it has proven highly efficient and effective in these other form factors.
The particular chip in this unit is called the Z1 Extreme and contains eight cores and 16 threads. That’s a fine example of how far processors have come—that many cores and threads in a handheld device like this would’ve been unheard of in the not-so-distant past—but that’s a different conversation. On paper, that should be an efficient processor for both gaming and using this device as a PC.
Asus has an additional model of the Ally, currently planned for a Q3 2023 release, which will cost just $599.99. This model will have a less-powerful Ryzen Z1 chip that can achieve frame rates about half as fast, but the same level of storage and memory, according to statements by Asus. The $699.99 Z1 Extreme model comes in just above the Steam Deck’s top-level model ($649), and way above the Steam Deck's $399 starting price.
The other specs include 16GB of DDR5-6400 RAM and a 512GB PCI Express Gen 4 SSD. The storage capacity is respectable, but it runs out quickly if you play lots of big AAA games. Many of these are nearly 100GB, so combined with other files, it’s not long before you need to uninstall some titles to add new ones, which can feel frustrating when compounded by long download times for these 100GB-plus game files. This even made installing all the games I needed for benchmark testing a bit of a juggling act. However, the Ally also features a microSD card slot for expanded storage, which will likely end up essential for you.
Testing the Asus ROG Ally: A Fine Playtime Pal...But Not Too Far From an Outlet
The following will include both our usual benchmark testing suite, and my own subjective and anecdotal experience playing games on the Ally. Our empirical tests are helpful to have, but given the obvious design constraints here, the real-world experience is especially relevant. The settings we use for our full-size gaming laptops probably will not be what you play with on the Ally, but it’s useful for context to see how close it can come.
Also, the Steam Deck was (unfortunately) not subject to the same suite of tests when we reviewed it, so we don’t have many head-to-head numbers for that specific matchup, but it’s still easy to get an idea of each in the anecdotal testing to follow. We've compared our results with the following systems:
The main benchmark of UL's PCMark 10 simulates a variety of real-world productivity and content-creation workflows to measure overall performance for office-centric tasks such as word processing, spreadsheeting, web browsing, and videoconferencing. We also run PCMark 10's Full System Drive test to assess the load time and throughput of a laptop's storage.
Three further benchmarks focus on the CPU, using all available cores and threads, to rate a PC's suitability for processor-intensive workloads. Maxon's Cinebench R23 uses that company's Cinema 4D engine to render a complex scene, while Geekbench 5.4 Pro by Primate Labs simulates popular apps ranging from PDF rendering and speech recognition to machine learning. Finally, we use the open-source video transcoder HandBrake 1.4 to convert a 12-minute video clip from 4K to 1080p resolution (lower times are better).
AMD's Z1 Extreme processor fared quite well on these tests despite the compact design of the Ally. They are hardly chart-topping numbers, but still plenty proficient at a range of CPU-based tasks. I don’t think anyone is really going to use the Ally for much media editing, but in terms of raw horsepower for everyday activity and multitasking, the Ally is no slowpoke. That’s no surprise given the efficiency we’ve come to expect from the latest Zen processors, but it’s exciting to see in this form factor and at this price, too. Could the Ally pitch in with homework or managing emails while attached to a decent dock, monitor, mouse, and keyboard? With a PCMark 10 score well above our 4,000 baseline, sure, but not much more than that.
Graphics and Gaming Tests
We test Windows PC graphics with two DirectX 12 gaming simulations from UL's 3DMark: Night Raid (more modest, suitable for laptops with integrated graphics) and Time Spy (more demanding, suitable for gaming rigs with discrete GPUs). We also try two OpenGL benchmarks from the cross-platform GFXBench, run offscreen to accommodate different display resolutions.
In addition, we run three real-world game tests using the built-in 1080p benchmarks of F1 2021, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and Rainbow Six Siege. These represent simulation, open-world action-adventure, and competitive esports shooter games, respectively. Valhalla and Siege are run twice (the former at its Medium and Ultra quality presets, the latter at Low and Ultra quality), while F1 2021 is run twice at max settings with and without AMD’s performance-boosting FSR technology turned on. The Ally’s 1080p screen makes it easy to directly compare these results with laptops.
An important note: These frame rates were achieved in the Ally’s "Turbo" power mode for maximum performance. The step-down "Performance" mode saw a notable drop in frame rates, so given these results, we’d recommend demanding games be played at the Turbo setting. It does drain the battery super-fast, though (see the battery results below), so be close to a charger. We also tested the Ally plugged in and unplugged, but saw a near-negligible difference—usually just a frame or two.
The frame rates on F1 2021 are fairly disappointing in this context but, as with all of these games, I think anyone expecting the Ally to pull off high frame rates at maximum settings needs to recalibrate their expectations. You would perhaps hope for at least 30fps, though. The maximum settings are too demanding with or without FSR, it seems; I dropped the settings to the medium preset to see how the Ally fared, and it achieved a much more reasonable 48fps. That is a more realistic measure of how most players will use this device. I also experienced a lot of errors in this game—FSR most consistently resulted in the benchmark crashing, leading to incomplete results here.
Playing traditionally PC-based shooters with control sticks is always a topic of debate, but if we put that aside, the results for Rainbow Six Siege are positive. It’s one of the few games to push the 120Hz refresh rate, and if you apply these high frame rates to more controller-friendly (though more demanding) multiplayer titles like Apex, you’re well within the smoothly playable range.
Finally, Valhalla is also too demanding at maximum settings, but mid-40fps on the medium preset may be enough for you in the handheld context. Locking the frame rate is perhaps your best bet—the fluctuation is often more distracting than the frame rate being sub-60fps. It’s pretty pleasing to see big open-world games running on the Ally, as it is on the Steam Deck, and it certainly falls within the playable range (as long as you can accept some choppiness).
Supplemental Gaming Tests
As stated, the usual benchmarks provide some helpful context, but I both tested and played a variety of other games. My main supplemental game was Cyberpunk, which I benchmarked and played.
Cyberpunk’s entirely “default” graphics preset, which involves a mix of medium and high individual graphics settings, no ray tracing, and FSR set to auto, averaged 40fps. Cutting this same test to 720p brought the average frame rate from 40fps to 64fps, which is quite playable. If you can stand the lower resolution (which is slightly below that of the Steam Deck’s native resolution), this trick will make virtually any game much more playable. We’ll continue on with 1080p numbers but know that you have that option in your pocket at any time.
In an example of the Ally’s Turbo mode versus Performance mode, however, those default settings at 1080p dropped from 40fps to 28fps when in Performance mode. That’s more than just a few frames, and I saw roughly the same drop ratio in other games.
To nobody’s surprise, the "ultra with ray tracing" preset was far too demanding; the Ally averaged just 5fps without FSR, and 9fps with FSR. I tried some other settings too: the ultra preset without ray tracing ran at 25fps with FSR, and Cyberpunk is the only game I’ve tested that now even includes a Steam Deck graphics preset. This averaged fewer frames than the default settings, down to 33fps from 40fps. (On the Steam Deck preset, more of the individual graphics settings are on ‘high’ rather than ‘medium’, whereas the opposite is true for the default preset—probably accounting for the Steam Deck’s lower resolution being less demanding.)
I found one scenario in which I was able to achieve a 60fps average at 1080p: turning the settings to the lowest preset, and manually swapping the FSR quality to ultra-performance mode. It averaged 63fps this way, which naturally includes some dips and fluctuations still, but it was smoother than the alternatives. With ultra-performance FSR on, though, the image quality is quite blurred. It’s not surprising that performance-first FSR, a resolution sharpening tool, achieved a similar result to switching the game to just 720p.
Outside of the benchmark, I loaded up a save and played the game for a while at the default settings. While running and driving through Night City, the frame rate was stable enough to call the game playable, which is pretty cool on a handheld. It definitely becomes choppy at times, and I kept my eye on the frame rate counter in the corner, which fluctuated mostly between 34fps and 45fps. If you’re used to a high-end rig (as I am, admittedly), this will look pretty choppy, but if you generally play on less powerful systems and consoles—and keep in mind the context that this is a handheld—I’m perfectly content to call the game playable at these settings.
Cyberpunk is also one of the most demanding titles around, so it’s not the only game I played. Running around in Halo Infinite multiplayer, even on lower settings, performed at around 45fps. (Performance mode, again, dropped this to the low 30s.) I’m generally above average skill level in Halo but found it a bit difficult to make small aim adjustments between the screen size and control stick sensitivity (which further tweaking may have eventually solved).
Smaller games, like the recent Game Pass addition Cassette Beasts, actually had some noticeable frame drops when attempting to use the same settings as my PC, despite its simplistic graphics. Lowering the settings did result in a smoother experience, and this type of title feels excellent to play in handheld mode (as proven before in many indie games on both the Switch and Steam Deck).
We test laptop battery life by playing a locally stored 720p video file with display brightness at 50% and audio volume at 100% until the system quits. We make sure the battery is fully charged before the test, with Wi-Fi and keyboard backlighting turned off.
The battery life discussion is two-fold. The results here, playing a video back, lasted for a relatively long time—I tested the battery on the Windows mode rather than Turbo or Performance. It ran for eight and a half hours of continuous use, making the Ally useful as a PC, even if the inputs are limited. You can watch a downloaded video on the train, for instance, without killing the machine. In this regard, it is a win for the Ally.
This battery for gaming, though, is another story, and a more crucial one. The Switch or Steam Deck don’t have prodigious batteries by any stretch, but the Ally took that to a new level. I left Cyberpunk running on the system’s Turbo mode, and it barely lasted for one hour.
I stood at an intersection in the game, occasionally running around as traffic moved past me, starting at 8:25 pm. I say this to document the sharpness in the remaining battery decline: Twenty minutes later, the battery was at 75%, and by 9 pm, it was already at 50%. By 9:25 pm, the Ally’s battery was at just 7%, nearly to hibernation.
Not only is the percentage useless in this context, but that’s extremely limiting battery life if you’re away from a charger. It’s one thing to plug it in on your couch, but it undermines the Ally’s portability if you can’t play long on the go. (And, again, it lacks legitimate sleep and suspending functions to extend the juice, which the Steam Deck has.)
Of course, I need to say that not every game will drain the system as quickly as Cyberpunk, but I didn’t experience a dramatic life extension with Cassette Beasts or other titles. You can also safely presume lowering the display to 60Hz and taking the resolution to 720p will extend the battery, but I didn't have enough time in my review window to run so many permutations of battery runs and game tests.
Verdict: A Legitimate Steam Deck Rival
You clearly have a lot to consider with the Ally, and so many use cases we couldn’t touch on. Those scenarios will apply to increasingly niche slices of the market, so your mileage may vary, but the Ally is largely a success for its main target audience: PC gamers who want a handheld gaming experience like the Nintendo Switch.
AMD's Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip doesn’t quite reach the heights we’d hoped; it’s in the ballpark of the Steam Deck if not more powerful, but that’s tempered by the higher resolution unless you want to lower it. Realistically, this form factor will always limit performance expectations—go for a gaming laptop if that is your chief concern. The Ally is, however, generally powerful enough to play nearly any game, though to varying degrees of compromise in detail and resolution.
The physical design allows you to do that comfortably, and it’s more than a novelty, just like Valve’s device before it. The mass market appeal is here, and the Ally is more straightforward with Windows (plus an assist from Asus software). It’s not without some finicky moments and less-than-ideal combinations of input and interface, but the Ally provides solutions and flexibility to nearly all those problems if you’re willing to spend the time.
All told, the $699.99 price is reasonable, and we recommend the Ally to those intrigued, with some minor caveats. It’s a legitimate alternative to a gaming laptop if you’re considering one, and the form may fit into your life better than a laptop. Asus succeeded here, even if that is a qualified success, and some continued software improvements—and of course, personalized DIY additions—could make the Asus ROG Ally a real hit for you. The Asus ROG Ally with the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme is available for preorder now, with full worldwide availability beginning June 13. | <urn:uuid:b24efa2b-a2a6-44b6-b623-3b163ee7edbf> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://au.pcmag.com/gaming-1/99964/asus-rog-ally | 2024-02-23T10:56:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.948208 | 7,364 |

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every thirty (30) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding were automatically combined into one (1) share of issued and outstanding Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share
David J. Field, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “Second quarter net revenues were down 6.6% in line with our quarterly guidance, reflecting challenging ad market conditions. During the quarter, we saw accelerated growth across certain of our key performance metrics including radio revenue share, station audience ratings, and digital platform usage. We also made meaningful progress on our ad tech and ad product roadmap as we work to develop important new pools of digital demand and growth.
Expenses were impacted by $10.4 million in charges related to the accelerated recognition of podcast expenses as we terminated one of our two largest podcast agreements and positioned ourselves for improved growth going forward.
We have initiated discussions with our lenders to enhance our balance sheet and establish a strong financial footing to enable the company to capitalize on its growth opportunities. Notwithstanding current challenges, Audacy has established a prominent position as a scaled, leading multi-platform audio company distinguished by our exclusive premium content, top positions across the country’s largest markets, and unrivaled leadership in news and sports radio. We continue to invest in our people, platform, content, technology and capabilities and serve our listeners and customers with excellence.
Ad market conditions remain challenging, but have stabilized entering the third quarter. We are pacing down 4% with local spot considerably stronger than national spot. We expect Audacy’s Q3 revenues to decline by mid-single digits.”
Recent Company Developments
- Solid revenue share gains and ratings performance across core radio business. Audacy grew its radio revenue share during the quarter, led by local spot and network share gains. The company also delivered a 4th consecutive quarter of A25-54 YoY ratings share growth in PPM markets and marked our highest quarterly ratings share since Q3 2020.The strength and vibrancy of our brands was underscored by Audacy receiving 16 prestigious Marconi Award nominations.
- Digital platform acceleration. Our streaming audience, via our new Audacy direct-to-consumer platform, continues to demonstrate strong and accelerating growth, with double-digit increases in app installs and unique users. Total Listening Hours to our O&O streams grew 12% in the quarter, increasing 15% in June. Our patented Rewind functionality continues to drive double-digit listening growth thanks to increasing consumer demand for Interactive Radio. We also rolled out new enhancements to our integrations with Apple Music, Sonos, and other partners, and added exclusive content features with Greta Van Fleet, Charlie Puth, Ed Sheeran, Kesha, Jennifer Lopez, Kylie Minogue, Kelly Clarkson, and more. While we are benefiting from consumer tail-winds in streaming audio – AM/FM Streams and Podcasts are the two fastest-growing segments of audio according to Edison Research – we believe our unique features and platform investments are propelling above-market streaming growth on many of our brands.
- Launched distribution partnership with Tune-In. Through a partnership with TuneIn, we extended the digital distribution of our local stations and podcast library to over 200 additional platforms and connected vehicles and devices, including Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, Bose, Samsung and Xbox, as well as on the TuneIn mobile app and TuneIn.com. While the partnership gives access to Audacy’s bespoke linear content across TuneIn’s platform, the unique digital listener features being pioneered on the Audacy app remain exclusively on our platform. The partnership bolsters the reach of our content and underscores our mission to meet our listeners wherever they wish to listen to our content. The agreement also gives us access to TuneIn’s advertising supply and brings select TuneIn original content to our digital platform.
- Bolstering news content with Weather Channel partnership. We launched three new exclusive stations on the Audacy app as official audio companions to The Weather Channel television network, Pattrn and The Weather Channel en Español. The deal adds additional depth to our best-in-class news content offering while expanding the reach of The Weather Channel’s broadcast weather coverage to Audacy listeners across the country.
- Podcast Monetization Improving, and Network Optimization Continues. Our Podcast advertising sales efficacy continues to improve, following the restructuring of our national sales efforts over the past year. RPMs, or revenue-per-thousand downloads, grew 38% Y/Y in the quarter, driven by growth in both CPMs and sell-through rates. Local Podcast Ad Revenues outperformed national, growing +78% in the quarter. In addition to growing consumption and monetization of our profitable original podcast content, we are also continuing to improve the overall profitability and composition of our Podcast Network business. In June, we successfully negotiated an early exit to an onerous Podcast ad representation contract, which resulted in a restructuring charge of $5.9 million in the quarter and the accelerated recognition of $4.5 million of prepaid content expense. We believe exiting this agreement will have a positive impact on our Podcast margins, without materially impacting our future Podcast revenue growth opportunity.
- Podcast content highlights. We had multiple number-ones on the podcast charts, including This Little Light with Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers in the Music category, and The Set, a ten-part Audacy Original podcast series exploring the never-before-told inside story of the biggest police corruption scandal in NYPD history, which premiered in with a binge window on the Audacy app that exclusively featured all episodes prior to their wide release.
- Completed asset sales. During the quarter, the company completed the sale of an FM station in Memphis, Tennessee, an FM station in Buffalo, New York and certain intellectual property for $15.4 million.
The company will not be holding a conference call regarding the second quarter earnings release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
It is important to note that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Net Capital Expenditures and Adjusted Income Taxes Paid are not measures of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management believes that these measures are useful as a way to evaluate the Company and the means for Management to evaluate our performance and operations. Management believes that these measures are useful to an investor in evaluating our performance because they are widely used in the broadcast industry.
Certain adjusted non-GAAP financial measures are presented in this release. The adjustments include, among other items as defined above, gain/loss on sale of assets, derivative instruments, and investments; non-cash compensation expense, other income, impairment loss, merger and acquisition costs, other expenses related to refinancing, and gain/loss on early extinguishment of debt and non-recurring expenses recognized for restructuring charges or similar costs, including transition and integration costs. Management believes these adjusted non-GAAP measures provide useful information to Management and investors by excluding certain income, expenses and gains and losses that may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating and financial results. Similarly, Management believes these adjusted measures are a useful performance measure because certain items included in the calculation of net income (loss) may either mask or exaggerate trends in the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Further, the reconciliations corresponding to these adjusted measures, by identifying the individual adjustments, provide a useful mechanism for investors to consider these adjusted measures with some or all of the identified adjustments.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures on an ongoing basis to help track and assess the Company’s financial performance. You, however, should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as substitutes for net income (loss), operating income, or any other measure for determining our operating performance that is calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. The accompanying financial tables provide reconciliations to the nearest GAAP measure of all non-GAAP measures provided in this release.

These forward-looking statements, including statements about market conditions, the Company’s revenue guidance, and the Company’s ability to capitalize on its growth opportunities, develop digital demand, enhance its balance sheet and regain compliance with the NYSE’s minimum price condition, are based upon current expectations and involve certain risks and uncertainties..

Savitri Class in Hindi with Alok Pandey
Savitri Book I: The Book of Beginnings, Canto IV: The Secret Knowledge
Thus will the masked Transcendent mount his throne.
When darkness deepens strangling the earth’s breast
And man’s corporeal mind is the only lamp,
As a thief’s in the night shall be the covert tread
Of one who steps unseen into his house.
A Voice ill-heard shall speak, the soul obey,
A Power into mind’s inner chamber steal,
A charm and sweetness open life’s closed doors
And beauty conquer the resisting world,
The Truth-Light capture Nature by surprise,
A stealth of God compel the heart to bliss
And earth grow unexpectedly divine.
In Matter shall be lit the spirit’s glow,
In body and body kindled the sacred birth;
Night shall awake to the anthem of the stars,
The days become a happy pilgrim march,
Our will a force of the Eternal’s power,
And thought the rays of a spiritual sun.
A few shall see what none yet understands;
God shall grow up while the wise men talk and sleep;
For man shall not know the coming till its hour
And belief shall be not till the work is done.A Consciousness that knows not its own truth,
A vagrant hunter of misleading dawns,
Between the being’s dark and luminous ends
Moves here in a half-light that seems the whole:
An interregnum in Reality
Cuts off the integral Thought, the total Power;
It circles or stands in a vague interspace,
Doubtful of its beginning and its close,
Or runs upon a road that has no end;
Far from the original Dusk, the final Flame
In some huge void Inconscience it lives,
Like a thought persisting in a wide emptiness.
As if an unintelligible phrase
Suggested a million renderings to the Mind,
It lends a purport to a random world.
A conjecture leaning upon doubtful proofs,
A message misunderstood, a thought confused
Missing its aim is all that it can speak
Or a fragment of the universal word.
It leaves two giant letters void of sense
While without sanction turns the middle sign
Carrying an enigmatic universe,
As if a present without future or past
Repeating the same revolution’s whirl
Turned on its axis in its own Inane.
Thus is the meaning of creation veiled;
For without context reads the cosmic page:
Its signs stare at us like an unknown script,
As if appeared screened by a foreign tongue
Or code of splendour signs without a key
A portion of a parable sublime.[pp. 55-56] | <urn:uuid:0ced32ee-17b8-4e41-a1f7-2aef9c9bfaff> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://auromaa.org/pp-55-56-sh-035/ | 2024-02-23T09:16:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.881574 | 594 |

Finding the proper expert for the job might be difficult when there are so many choices. These are 10 things to consider when choosing a kitchen remodeler in Austin, Texas. Considering these things, you can choose a remodeler that fits your price and timeline. REading on with Austin Remodel Pro.
10 Things to Consider When Choosing a Kitchen Remodeler in Austin, TX
Remodeling a kitchen is a challenging project that requires a skilled hand. Choose a contractor that has worked on kitchens like yours and can attest to their expertise. Professionals with plenty of experience will know how to deal with problems throughout the job. They are up-to-date on the newest styles, innovations, and materials and may provide advice based on their expertise.
An expert remodeler also has the management skills to keep the job on schedule and within budget. You can trust them to do a fantastic job on your project because of their history of previous accomplishments and happy customers.
When selecting a kitchen remodeler in Austin, TX, getting a portfolio of past work is critical. A competent remodeler will be happy to show off their work. It will have a portfolio of completed projects to prove its skill. Examining a remodeler’s portfolio may help you understand their style, attention to detail, and degree of quality. It also helps you imagine your kitchen makeover options and spark fresh ideas.
Please pay attention to the quality of work and ensure it corresponds with your goal for your kitchen makeover when you explore the portfolio. A professional remodeler will happily offer you a portfolio to assist you in making an educated selection.
When considering a kitchen remodeler in Austin, TX, asking for references from past clients is an important step in the decision-making process. Reputable remodelers should be fine providing references for you to speak with. Contacting previous clients lets you gain insight into the remodeler’s work quality, communication skills, and professionalism.
You can ask questions about the project’s scope, timeline, cost, and how the remodeler handled any challenges that arose during the project. Suppose a remodeler is hesitant or unwilling to provide references. In that case, it may be a red flag and indicate they have something to hide.
License and Insurance
Choosing a certified and insured kitchen remodeler is critical to ensuring your project complies with all state building rules and safety requirements. To receive their license, a professional must undergo rigorous training and testing, guaranteeing they have the requisite knowledge and abilities to conduct high-quality work.
Also, employing an insured remodeler safeguards you in case of accidents or damages that may occur during the process. You might be held accountable for any accidents or damages on your property if you do not have insurance. As a result, before beginning any work, ensure that your kitchen remodeler has the proper licenses and insurance coverage.
Choosing a remodeler that communicates well and responds to your queries and concerns is critical. A skilled remodeler will keep you updated throughout the job and will be receptive to your opinions and suggestions. They should be ready to address any difficulties or concerns that emerge, as well as to offer timely updates on the project’s progress.
Good communication helps to keep the project on track and any potential difficulties addressed as soon as possible. Finally, selecting a remodeler who successfully communicates may assist in making the overall renovation process easier and more pleasurable for everyone involved.
The contract is an important part of any kitchen renovation process. It should define the scope of the job, including what will be done, who will be in charge of it, and when it will be finished. The timetable should be reasonable and contain specific milestones, such as when demolition will be done, cabinets will be fitted, and the project will be completed.
The contract should include a mention of the project’s cost and any extra fees or charges. Before signing the contract, carefully read it to verify that you understand the terms and conditions. If you need help understanding something, ask the remodeler to explain it. A thorough contract will assist in guaranteeing that the project remains on schedule and within budget.
Price is a crucial factor to consider when hiring a kitchen remodeler in Austin, TX. But remember that the lowest price does not necessarily imply the greatest value. Some remodelers may charge a reduced price, but their work may be of poor quality or contain only some required services.
It is critical to get quotations from many remodelers and thoroughly compare them. After considering their expertise, portfolio, and recommendations, search for a remodeler that charges a reasonable price for high-quality work. Remember that hiring a high-quality remodeler may save you money in the long term by preventing expensive repairs or upgrades in the future.
When choosing a kitchen remodeler in Austin, TX, it is important to evaluate the guarantee. A guarantee assures that the remodeler stands behind their work and is prepared to fix any problems that develop during or after completion. You may be forced to pay for costly repairs or redo the whole job without guarantee if anything goes wrong.
As a result, it’s critical to choose a remodeler that offers a guarantee on their work. Be sure you understand the warranty’s conditions and length since they may differ depending on the remodeler. A guarantee may give you peace of mind while also protecting your investment, so be sure to inquire about it throughout the selection process.
A practical timetable is essential when organizing a kitchen renovation. This will allow you to better plan for the project’s life and avoid being caught off guard by setbacks. Ask for a comprehensive schedule while interviewing Austin, TX, kitchen remodelers.
A reliable remodeler will tell you when they expect to finish the job and inform you of any setbacks. They also need to be very forward about any problems they anticipate encountering and how they intend to fix them. Knowing the timeline will allow you to make preparations and lessen the impact on your everyday activities.
When hiring a kitchen remodeler in Austin, TX, compatibility is essential. It is important to locate a professional who knows your vision for your kitchen and is prepared to collaborate to make it a reality. The ideal remodeler is someone you feel comfortable conversing with and who appreciates your opinion throughout the job.
You’ll be working directly with them for the length of the makeover, so find someone you trust and feel at ease with. A suitable remodeler will consider your ideas and preferences while providing expert comments and recommendations. You may guarantee that your kitchen renovation surpasses your expectations and offers the practicality and design you seek by working with a suitable remodeler.
How long does it take to renovate a kitchen?
A kitchen redesign might take a few weeks to several months, depending on the job’s scale, the kitchen’s current state, and any surprises that emerge. Renovating a kitchen usually takes between four and six weeks.
How much does a typical kitchen renovation in Austin, TX, cost?
A kitchen redesign may cost anywhere from $20,000 to $40,000 in Austin, Texas. This, of course, depends on the size and scope of the job.
Does a kitchen redesign require a building permit for those living in Austin, TX?
A. In Austin, Texas, yes, a permit is required to modify a kitchen. Permits are something your remodeler should be able to do for you, given their familiarity with the system.

If you listen to Kim Myhr‘s music, you can easily understand the connection between him and Tony Buck. The Norwegian guitarist and composer writes lengthy pieces based on a solid sonic structure that gradually evolves, not unlike the way things unfold in the Necks’ performances. Now Kim Myhr is in Australia, to perform at the Substation with Peter Knight and the Australian Art Orchestra, for the Melbourne International Jazz Festival, with the participation of Tony Buck, of course. Here is a question for him:
Kim Myhr, what are you going to present at the Melbourne International Jazz Festival?
“I’ve written a 50 minute piece in three parts for the Australian Art Orchestra. It’s a composed piece but it has elements of freedom. Basically, during rehearsals, we are fine tuning the space between the structured piece and the improvisational freedom of the musicians. We’re trying to work out the balance. I have done pieces for similar ensembles in Norway like Trondheim Jazz Orchestra which also has musicians from different fields and I think for hybrid ensembles it is sort of necessary, or at least interesting, to apply a hybrid methodology.
The score is specific but it’s also open. It has very special challenges. For me, when I approach the piece and the composition it is important that the audience doesn’t have a feeling that the musicians are just reading through a big score, but they are actually really present and making music. The score is just a score but the music happens in the room and in the space.
This is definitely not fusion music. I’m not trying to mix different traditions. It’s coming from a very natural place, it’s more like making music out of your own sonic environment. I love hybrid methodology. I’m sort of in-between myself, musically. My background is in improvisation; I studied jazz at the Berklee College of Music, then I switched to classical composition and I also have a very strong relationship to popular music and to different musical traditions from the world, along with an interest in contemporary music. My musical interests are very diverse and the AAO is a perfect vehicle for them.
I’m playing electric 12-string guitar. That has its connotations from popular music from the ’70s, maybe. It is also like a folk instrument. As a basis, as a sound, I will always have that reference. But I don’t tune it in a regular way. It is tuned in a very specific way, which makes it very prone to dronic qualities and rich harmonic sounds. I’m also interested in thick slabs of sound with lots of information in it and I think that the 12 string guitar allows that complexity to happen. I chose it because of the harmonic possibilties. I can play in a way that would never be possible with a 6-string guitar. But I also play 6-string guitar, in other projects. For this project, I wanted big masses of orchestral sound. There’s a lot of harmonic information, a lot of structural playing.
It’s easy for me to bring Tony Buck into this project because I know him so well.The way we play together with Tony is all about the richness of sound and the richness of the harmonic content. But this is the first time I play with Peter Knight.
Peter Knight, do you have a question for Kim Myhr?
Peter Knight:How does he view the relationship between his music and minimalism?
Kim Myhr: For me minimalism is not a word that I feel so close to, but a lot of people use it about the music that I make. Maybe it’s about simplicity. I like that there is a connection with something simple, but I’m not trying to minimize anything. I love working with simple forms, with something like a song but stretched out over a long duration.
Kim Myhr, do you have a question for Peter Knight?
Kim Myhr: How does he feel my approach to music connects with the general direction of AAO?
Peter Knight:I think Kim’s approach is very well aligned with the AAO. It is exploratory rather than formulaic and that’s what makes it interesting for us. We perform a great diversity of music but this is the quality that we are all looking for as musicians. It pertains to opennes and curiosity.
Kim Myhr performs with the Australian Art Orchestra and Tony Buck at the Substation, on Saturday 9 June as part of the Melbourne International Jazz Festival | <urn:uuid:055440a2-a7a8-40fb-9587-3be836663e25> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://australianjazz.net/2018/06/kim-myhr-not-fusion-music/ | 2024-02-23T11:11:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.966546 | 956 |
Attached hereto is a PNG copy as well as a PDF copy link to "The Fully Inclusive Classroom Is Only One Of The Right Ways To Meet The Best Interests Of The Special Needs Child"(2004) by Yude M. Henteleff, C.M. Q.C., L.L.D. (Hon). Mr. Henteleff outlines succinctly and compellingly the legal basis for a rational, flexible model of inclusive education, one which will permit children with special needs, including severely autistic and developmentally delayed children like my son to participate in a safe, meaningful and rewarding education. Here in New Brunswick the Porter-Aucoin report is pushing us Back To The Future, back to the simplistic and fundamentally flawed mid 1980's approach of forcing all children, regardless of their needs and challenges, to receive their education in the mainstream classroom. The CACL and NBACL are now imposing their simplistic "vision" on schools in New Brunswick contrary to the 2009 NB policy defining inclusive education as being evidenced based and based on the best interests of each individual child.
Dr. Henteleff's 2004 paper represents an articulate, sophisticated analysis by one of Canada's most distinguished lawyers who has represented many disability groups including autism groups and learning disability association groups over a long and distinguished career. Unfortunately, our current NB Premier David Alward and Education Minister Jody Carr are faithful followers of Gordon Porter's simplistic inclusion "vision". Hopefully future NB governments will just walk away from that "vision". The Henteleff critique, first presented to the CACL in 2004 and maintained on their web site until recently provides a rational, flexible alternative for future NB administrations. Mr. Henteleff also presented a new submission at the Atlantic Human Rights Centre inclusive education conference. It will be made available to participants after the conference and I will post it on this site.
Many thanks to Mr. Henteleff. And thanks to my friend Claire who was kind enough to provide me with access to a copy of the attached paper. | <urn:uuid:364906d1-3995-4d40-be50-01ae53d5d3df> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://autisminnb.blogspot.com/2012/06/rational-flexible-inclusion-fully.html | 2024-02-23T10:06:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.941562 | 417 |
Villages and subdivisions have one draw: privacy. That’s about to change, though, for residents of BF Homes Paranaque. Four days ago, the Human Settlements Adjudication Commission (HSAC) ordered 5 of the village’s gates to be opened to the public. That means non-residents – basically everyone – can use BF’s roads as they would a public road.
BF Homes gates opened to the public, and residents push back
In a ruling dated July 29, the HSAC has required the BF Federation of Homeowners’ Associations Inc. (BFFHAI) to allow unobstructed passage of motorists through 5 of the village’s gates, namely on Aguirre Avenue, Elizalde Street, El Grande Avenue, Concha Cruz Street, and Tropical Street. Before this ruling, those who wish to enter the village were required to secure a car sticker from the Homeowners’ Association, or leave their license or ID before being allowed entry into any of the aforementioned gates.
That of course is a thing of the past because a sticker will no longer be a requirement for entry. The ruling also prohibits BFFHAI to collect entry fees from delivery services that now wish to enter the once-gated community. A thing of the past, for now, it seems, as homeowners have appealed against the HSAC’s order and they submitted their petition to the Court of Appeals (CA) on Monday, August 1.
“Please be informed that we already filed our appeal to the CA last Monday with prayer for [a temporary restraining order], and we hope it will be favorably granted. Please exercise extreme caution, and security measures in your respective areas. This is just a temporary setback,” BFFHAI President Arturo Astorga II
To address the BF Homes residents’ concerns on privacy and safety, BFFHAI Vice President Tito Tolentino said that all their security guards at all 5 BF Homes gates have already been instructed specifically “To provide close scrutiny for incoming visitors, and be always on guard for unusual incidents.”
“By preventing BFFHAI from exercising control over the subdivision gates, HSAC has essentially compromised the security, invited disorder, and chaotic traffic, and violated the private and residential nature of our subdivision. We need all the help that we can get. We must all be united in denouncing this act in the strongest term possible,” Tolentino added in a later statement.
Residents have taken to the streets of BF Homes in protest of the HSAC ruling, and we can perhaps expect them to keep doing so until the CA (might) rule in their favor.
If any of you, our readers, are from BF Homes Paranaque, what do you think of the opening of your village gates to the public? Let us know what your concerns are, perhaps the internet may help the residents’ cause and allow for a proper reevaluation of the ruling that goes against privacy, and more importantly, security. | <urn:uuid:be66fa3d-281e-4fe5-b6db-95e80ff1226a> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://auto.yugatech.com/news/hsac-open-bf-homes-paranaque-gates/ | 2024-02-23T11:01:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.958913 | 629 |

Uncover supplementary details and fresh perspectives on the topic by exploring this external source we’ve selected for you.

Variety of Themes and Designs
One of the reasons slot games are so popular is the wide array of themes and designs available.

With the rise of online casinos, slot games have become even more accessible to players. No longer do you have to travel to a physical casino to enjoy the thrill of slot machines. Instead, you can experience the excitement right from the comfort of your own home.

Ferrari says its 2024 car has “a completely new platform” after launching the SF-24 ahead of its first shakedown at Fiorano in Italy.
Carlos Sainz’s victory in the Singapore Grand Prix was the only non-Red Bull win of last season, as Ferrari ended the year third in the constructors’ championship behind Red Bull and Mercedes. The team’s form improved in the second half of the year and in launching the SF-24, chassis technical director Enrico Cardile says that informed the direction for the new car.
“With the SF-24 we wanted to create a completely new platform and in fact, every area of the car has been redesigned, even if our starting point was the development direction we adopted last year and which saw us take a leap forward in terms of competitiveness in the final part of the season,” Cardile said.
“We have taken on board what the drivers told us and turned those ideas into engineering reality, with the aim of giving them a car that’s easier to drive and therefore easier to get the most out of and push it to its limits. We did not set ourselves any design constraints other than that of delivering a strong and honest racing car, which can reproduce on the race track what we have seen in the wind tunnel.”
While the car’s yellow and white additions offer a fresh livery, the technical changes that have been made are designed to provide a more predictable car for Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.
“Presenting a new car to the world for the first time is always a very exciting moment for me and the drivers, even if we are all already thinking about the moment we will go head to head with our rivals on track,” team principal Fred Vasseur said. “This year, we must start off where we left off at the end of last season, when we were consistent front runners, with a view to constantly improving in all areas.
“The longest ever Formula 1 season awaits us and Charles, Carlos and I all agree, we must be more clinical and effective in how we manage the races, making bold choices, in order to get the best possible result at every grand prix.
“It’s often said that your fans can give you an extra gear and that will definitely be true in what will be a very closely contested championship and we are proud to know we can count on our ‘tifosi’ from around the world.” | <urn:uuid:5e099181-3ac7-46ef-aaa7-c98e4e581971> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://autos.yahoo.com/ferrari-launches-completely-sf-24-130515521.html | 2024-02-23T09:50:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.967577 | 526 |
Zotob was not the costliest malware attack on record–wasnât even close. Love Bug owns that record, causing almost $8 billion dollars in damage worldwide. Plus, Zotob was far from being the most sophisticated attack–there have been several much more sophisticated attacks over the past two years. And Zotob wasnât even the fastest spreading attackâthat distinction still belongs to MyDoom which is estimated to have infected one out of every twelve emails worldwide in less than twenty-four hours.
However, Zotob (sometimes referred to as Zobot) did set some speed records, with the entire episode driving forward at warp speed. Zotob.A and Zotob.B began exploiting a known Microsoft flaw within five days after the company announced the security vulnerability and its related patch. Whether this is the fastest such exploit ever recorded is matter of some debate, but it is generally regarded as the fastest–especially for high-profile attacks. Additionally, the time from the release of the code and capture of the suspected individuals involved was less than two weeks–a remarkable story in itself. Incidentally, the individuals captured by the Turkish and Morrocan authorities (with considerable assistance from the FBI) are also suspected of releasing the Mytob attack.
Targets of the Attack
For the most part, the Zotob attack affected organizations running Windows 2000 that were slow to apply Microsoftâs patch. One of the reasons Zotob received so much press was because among the organizations hardest hit were CNN and ABC. I was interviewed by both CNN and ABC News asking for cost estimates on the damages. One of these reporters told me that many of their staff members had to hunt down IBM selectric typewriters to write newscopy, while their production personnel had to use stopwatches to time station breaks! Other major organizations hardest hit by Zotob included the U.S. Congress, New York Times, General Electric, Caterpillar Corporation, and the San Francisco International Airport.
Many of the major companies that were hit by Zotob have taken a lot of flack for not having patched a known vulnerability. However, it is not that unusual for companies to delay application of the latest patch release. In a large organization, operating system patches need to be tested to ensure that they will work properly with other software and drivers installed across the enterprise.
When an OS patch is dealing with a security threat, large companies are essentially gambling that it is safer to wait and make sure that a new patch release is bug-free than it is to rush a patch into their production environment based on a potential threat. Even companies that are diligent about applying patches often must find âsafeâ time periods to perform the tasks involved. In companies with thousands of desktops and hundreds of servers this process can take quite a while and the labor involved is not trivial.
Cost Estimates on Zotob
During my interview with CNN, the reporter stated that even though the Zotob attack had a significant impact on their organization, they were able to implement manual work-arounds for their critical functions. So the general feeling was that the cost damages were low.
While implementing manual work-arounds for critical functions does help limit cost damages, many non-essential activities may get placed on hold, creating a backlog of work and slowing the overall functioning of the business. In the case of a news agency, this would only become costly if it were to be knocked off the air. However, in many organizations the cost of changing over to manual processes can be substantial, especially if there is a significant time lag. In fact, the cost associated with non-productive employees is now one of the most damaging aspects of a malware attack.
While Zotob will not rank with the all-time cost damage leaders, Computer Economics estimates that the dozen or so variants of Zotob that were released in the wild in August will account for approximately $500 million in worldwide damages when the final results are tallied. | <urn:uuid:f8dd5d40-0ed2-4b07-8f3d-c4666f52dddf> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://avasant.com/report/zotob-a-malware-event-in-warp-speed/ | 2024-02-23T11:23:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.980497 | 806 |

Calendar TBO is mostly about aging of seals and the potential for internal corrosion of steel parts on low utilization engines. It's just a guess, intended to mitigate global risk. It's not something you would observe as literal, unless forced to by regulation.
The seal that really matters in Continentals and Lycomings, the only one that can take you down if it fails, is the propeller crank seal. I might change out a prop seal on an engine that's really old.
A carb and mag overhaul might be appropriate as well. You are supposed to get mags inspected at 500 hrs (IRAN inspection) which takes care of that. Case and cylinders? On condition.
Oil analysis is good for monitoring for detecting things like bearing breakdown early.
Corrosion is mainly a problem for cam lobes and followers, and steel cylinder barrels. If the cam is going bad, there will be metal in the oil filter. Engines will run with bad cams until they misfire. I have a Lycoming cam in my garage that came out of an O-320 and one lobe is half way worn off. It only got that bad because the engine was using a screen instead of a spin-on filter that would have picked up the fine metal splinters that are tell tale signs of cam lobes wearing down. It didn't start to show symptoms while running until that point.
Steel cylinder barrels get rust on the peaks of the honed surface irregularities of the walls from lack of use, which gets rubbed off by the piston rings. The effect is premature wear-down of the honed surface. All that means is oil consumption goes up.
There is very little that justifies overhauling the core engine if the oil consumption is good, the filter has no major metal, oil analysis shows no major problems like high levels of bearing metal, cylinders are being inspected internally, compression is acceptable, and you are replacing age sensitive items like rubber seals, hoses etc, in the field. | <urn:uuid:f27b3f2c-c7ea-4c95-aaf8-4dc869c0b559> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/99179/statistically-is-engine-calendar-tbo-honored-more-in-the-breach-or-the-observan | 2024-02-23T11:49:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.97083 | 406 |

As some have noticed, Antiquity À-la-carte is no longer online. Built by former AWMC Director Ryan Horne, for over a decade this digital atlas allowed users to navigate ancient geographic data from the collections of AWMC and Pleiades , and to build customized maps without the need for specialist GIS software or expertise. Like all digital projects, Antiquity À-la-carte required continuous upkeep; its performance and reliability have declined in recent years, and it crashed completely in late December 2023.
At this time, there are no plans to restore Antiquity À-la-carte in its previous form. Instead, AWMC staff have begun developing a replacement program, to be named AWMC Interactive. Once complete, this platform will allow users to view and navigate the same GIS data previously available on À-la-carte using ArcGIS Online. In addition to bug fixes and performance upgrades, AWMC Interactive will be more stable in the long term, since it can be maintained without an on-staff programming team.
While there is not yet a decisive timeline, the hope is to release a prototype of AWMC Interactive for beta testing in March 2024. If you are interested in trying out this initial release, or if you have any questions, please email [email protected]. | <urn:uuid:9729ef52-b9a4-48ed-9d4b-5dc5168ca3de> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://awmc.unc.edu/2024/01/16/antiquity-a-la-carte-replacement-underway/ | 2024-02-23T09:44:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.930909 | 278 |
For Sundt Construction’s 125th anniversary, the company developed a coffee table book that showcased 125 different clients and projects. However, the contractor took it one step further by packaging the book in a 3D jacket that depicts a fictional “Sundt City,” that has real replicas of existing buildings around the Valley. To accomplish this, the company bought a 3D printer. However, the book jacket was just a gateway into additional applications of 3D printing in commercial real estate.
“We really wanted to learn the commercial aspects of 3D printing, and this struck us as a low cost, low risk way to play with a new technology,” said Jeff Perelman, Sundt senior vice president and chief growth and strategy officer.
“In construction, you can’t afford to build one bad building, so you don’t want to try a technology until it works,” Perelman said. “This gave us a real chance to learn on a simple model. Internally, just doing something as simple as a book cover let us master what you have to do for 3D design so it can be printed by the printer.”
Sundt learned a lot from its experience printing the jacket covers. When printing the bridge arches, the engineers assigned to master the printer learned that the arches couldn’t be printed the way they look. Rather, they had to be produced at an angle because the printer cannot drop material to print if there is no supporting body. Depending on the angle you set a structure, it might be physically impossible to print.
Later this year, Sundt plans to use the printer for prototypes of projects. The aim is to make visualizing the final product easier. The industry currently uses building information modeling (BIM), a process that generates digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of buildings, said Steven Ayer, a professor at Arizona State University’s Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. Engineers can work in cyberspace and see how a complicated structure lays out, Perelman said, but building owners often cannot and 3D printing holds value there.
Sundt’s interest in 3D printing is to find ways to print custom components, Perelman said. The construction industry is a unique manufacturer because everything is a one-off and no one wants the same building as what is next door. This is where 3D printing has a lot of value, Perlman said.
Currently, modularization and prefabrication methods are used in the construction industry, but they involve repetition, Ayer said.
“3D printing offers an interesting ability to not have that consistency,” he says.
“The concept of having a manufacturing tool where you can build customized parts or components to fit a unique building has unlimited potential for our industry,” Perelman said. | <urn:uuid:1e91003a-01d3-4d40-953f-c6096d7e32fb> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://azbigmedia.com/real-estate/azre-source-sundts-moves-dimension/ | 2024-02-23T10:26:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.962467 | 596 |
Temporary anchorage devices (TADs), also known as “mini implants,” are titanium devices that are screwed into your gum and jaw. TADs act as anchors to support the movement of your teeth. They can be positioned in different areas of your jaw, depending on what anchorage and movement you need. Since they essentially become part of your body for a time, they are specifically compatible with human tissue.
A Simple Procedure
Your orthodontist will begin the procedure by using a local anesthetic to numb a small portion of your gum, specifically where the TAD will be anchored. When your TAD is inserted, you should only feel slight pressure. Some discomfort may occur after the procedure is finished and the anesthetic wears off. Over-the-counter pain medication will be enough to alleviate your residual pain.
It’s as simple to remove a TAD as it is to insert one. It is a quick and painless process that requires no anesthesia. After a few days have passed since its removal, the site generally heals with no lingering pain.
Taking Care of Your TAD
While the chance of your TAD getting infected is small, it’s important to prevent this from happening. The following are some helpful tips to take care of your TAD:
- After the TAD is inserted, it’s recommended to rinse your mouth twice a day for five days with an antimicrobial mouthwash. After five days, you can just dip your toothbrush into the mouthwash and gently clean around the TAD every day.
- Do not use an electric toothbrush while there are TADs placed in your mouth.
- Refrain from touching or fidgeting with your TAD.
- Your orthodontist may recommend that you switch from your normal toothpaste to one that kills oral bacteria. | <urn:uuid:403539a8-5841-48fd-b10d-d96bfb790044> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://azdentalny.com/articles_dear_doctor/premium_education/915183-temporary-anchorage-devices | 2024-02-23T10:56:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.960256 | 382 |

High Yielding Dividend Mutual Funds
High yielding profit shared reserves are marijuana news extraordinary for financial backers who need an ordinary, trustworthy pay. This could come as security reserves, which are fixed pay assets, or stock assets, which are value reserves. You will view these as arranged by their profit yield for as far back as year. They can incorporate REIT stock assets, value pay reserves, global stock, gold stock, and the sky is the limit from there. It’s really smart to actually look at an asset’s outline prior to choosing to turn into a piece of it, as high yielding profit shared assets can change all of a sudden.
Utilizing High Yield Funds
During bear markets, financial backers can utilize high yielding shared assets to battle the unstable market. The top shared assets with significant yields of 2011 were PIMCO International StocksPLUS TR Strategy A, Forward SMIDPlus Investor, U.S. Worldwide Investors World Precious Minerals, and so forth For financial backers who are resigned, it is prudent that they include themselves in a high return store, as they can’t live off of the ordinary 1% return from a normal asset.

Different speculations might be normal stocks, prospects, choices, and trades. Since May 2008, Chris P. Dialynas has been the director of the asset.

When people think of Britain they don’t instantly think of sandy beaches and beautiful coastlines, well the truth is that the island is blessed with some fantastic seaside locations. If the weather is right then the beaches will be brimming with excited British people soaking up the sun and having a great time. Even when the weather isn’t hot enough for the beach the coastlines are perfect for walking because you will take in some of the most breath taking views.
If you like to be active then there are so many options available to you; you can try sailing, hiking, rock climbing and motor sports. You could of course just relax and bring a picnic to the beach!
There are so many places to list that I can’t simply list them all. It would be great for us to all share our experiences of the Great British coastline, just type down those experiences at the end of this article in the comment section. I think it’s great when we can all share stories, as a travel community, so that it will improve everyone’s next trip.
Here are two of the best coastline locations that I have found in Britain, they are absolutely superb!
My last memory of Brighton is waking up in the Travelodge Brighton, opening the curtains to see a beautiful summer’s day. Me and brother headed out to the beach where there is so much happening! I love the fun atmosphere that Brighton gives you. It’s one of the most well known spots for beach lovers in the south of England. The other great thing about Brighton is that if you enjoy a fun nightlife then there are plenty of places for you to let your hair down and party.
Anyone who has been to this place can not stop raving about it! You will struggle to find a more atmospheric place on your travels in Britain, it is such a romantic place. You will find yourself high on the North Cornwall cliffs above the waves crashing into the coastline below. The medieval castle is even rumoured to be when the legend King Arthur was born! It is by far the most dramatic stretch of coastline that Britain has to offer. | <urn:uuid:c46d4285-2990-4d1d-baa7-ff081d84b1ff> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://backpackingworldwide.com/britains-beautiful-coastline | 2024-02-23T09:50:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.957904 | 437 |

These grain free pumpkin pie spiced waffles are one of the easiest and best gluten free waffle recipes you’ll find and they are perfect for a vegan breakfast. Crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, brunch time just got a whole lot better.
Ingredients in Grain Free Pumpkin Pie Spiced Waffles
I love that these grain free waffles have normal ingredients and most are pantry staples! The pumpkin pie spices really make these gluten free waffles fantastic especially for a vegan holiday brunch.
Here are the ingredients you will need:
- Almond Flour
- Tapioca Starch or Cornstarch
- Flax egg
- Pure Maple Syrup
- Almond Milk
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Pure Vanilla Extract
- Unsweetened Applesauce
- Ginger, Nutmeg, Allspice
These grain free waffle ingredients are pantry staples for the most part, and the blueberries on top are optional!
How to Make Almond Flour Waffles
This recipe for vegan, gluten free waffles is easy, but you will need to take note of some resting time for the ingredients!
Your flax egg will need to rest so it becomes gel like in consistency. This helps bind your waffles together. Your almond milk and apple cider vinegar will need to rest to again give some extra binding to your waffle ingredients and flavor. You are essentially making almond milk buttermilk!
After those set, your recipe comes together quickly while your waffle iron preheats and you are well on your way to enjoy delicious grain free waffles for your breakfast!
How to Serve Your Gluten Free Waffles
These waffles are best served fresh! That will be when they are slightly crispy from the waffle iron. You can also reheat and serve, but we would recommend warming them up in your toaster, so they get crispy!
We enjoy serving these dairy free butter, pure maple syrup and frozen thawed blueberries. Yum! Dairy free chocolate chips may be a nice option as well and you could add those right into the batter before placing in the waffle iron.
If you make these vegan grain free waffles, we would love to know! Tag @badtothebowl on social media.

Before sending a message, check if there are local contact details for a Sri Chinmoy Centre in your country (see the list below). If you don't see your country, then please use this form and we'll make sure it gets to the right person.

As a relatively new disciple, I was really fortunate in that my good friends at the Ottawa Centre would take me down to New York a lot! Between 2005 and 2007, I would spring at literally every opportunity I got. Looking back, I am extremely grateful to have been able to see Guru so much in those two years. I had no idea at the time how much I would come to cherish all of those moments.
I recall one time in 2006 when the Christmas trip had just ended, and a car load of us who hadn’t seen Guru for about three months eagerly made the journey to Queens. After the morning function I had this really restless feeling; I was so full of energy and really needed something to do. The first idea that struck me was to go to Kritagyata’s house and see if they needed help with anything there. Sure enough, a project was in the works, so a few girls and I got right to it.
After a couple of hours Kritagyata came running in, "Go outside! Guru is here!" I was shocked and really excited that Guru had come. (Talk about being in the right place at the right time!) When we went outside, Guru was right out front sitting in the passenger seat of a car with the window rolled down. He was calling us: "Come, come.", He proceeded to hand each of us a sandwich, one by one.
When I went to take mine I looked into Guru’s eyes and time seemed to freeze; I had never physically been that close to Guru before, and the power of his presence was so striking. I felt like he knew everything about me and was looking directly into my soul. I felt Guru pouring all of his love into me and it brought tears to my eyes. I had never felt that loved by anyone before in my life.
I inwardly tried to bring my gratitude to the fore but I felt like Guru’s gratitude toward me was way stronger than any gratitude I could show him. It was really overwhelming. After what felt like a long time, but in reality was probably only a few seconds, Guru nodded his head as he placed the prasad into my hands.
I found a quiet spot to go eat my sandwich; I just sat there in silence, basking in Guru’s light. That was the first time I ever had an eggplant hero. Now they are a favourite, as I am reminded of this special day every time I eat one. I never thought that a sandwich could be a catalyst for such a beautiful spiritual experience! | <urn:uuid:5754f0d5-08a0-44e6-b835-73ee191e47be> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://banshidhar.srichinmoycentre.org/time-seemed-freeze | 2024-02-23T09:39:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.989638 | 597 |
We’re essentially at full employment in Ireland, and it’s bursting at the seams. So how do you as an employer stand out from the crowd, attract the cream of the crop and win the ‘War for Talent’?
Having the Right Tools in Your Tool Kit
The 2019 Chartered Accountants Ireland Leinster Society and Barden Accounting & Tax Salary Survey brings you the most up to date insights on reward.
“As experts in our field, it’s absolutely critical for us to be able to provide our clients with cutting edge insights on reward so that they, in turn, can make informed strategic decisions on talent attraction and retention, and essentially win the ‘War for Talent’. The insights gained in this year’s Salary Survey enable us, and you, to do just that.” Elaine Brady | Managing Partner | Barden Accounting & Tax
Given that reward has gone from being part of the conversation, to THE conversation, this is an essential piece of reading for you to have in your tool kit for winning the ‘war for talent’.
But Here’s the Interesting Thing About Reward…
Reward is no longer just about pay.
Accountants today EXPECT to be paid well. They’re smart, hardworking and have trained hard to become qualified.
Increasingly, as extrinsic reward levels become expected, it is intrinsic reward that is becoming the defining factor in people’s career decisions.
A substantially more complex concept…it’s essentially everything you can’t put a monetary value on.
And more importantly, according to the results of the 2019 Salary Survey, it’s a lot about work life balance and flexibility.
For the first time ever the results found that work life balance & flexibility are now AS important for people as the salary they will secure.
· 82% of respondents said it’s as important a factor in considering an external move as their pay packet.
· 86% place a strong value on work life balance and flexible working arrangements.
· 52% would sacrifice 10% of remuneration for better work life balance flexible working arrangements.
Yet Most Companies Aren’t Offering It
With a staggering 40% of respondents having no access to working from home, or a flexible benefits policy, it’s clear that most companies aren’t offering proper work life balance or flexibility.
Madness? Maybe, but it’s also an opportunity for you and your company.
It’s important to note that work life balance is not about working less. It’s about working the same amount but at times that suit your life better.
Offering proper work life balance and flexibility is a way for your company to watch their bottom line, have more satisfied employees and essentially win the ‘war for talent’. | <urn:uuid:3e25e080-02e7-42d8-b2f2-61f582b13c9f> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://barden.ie/how-can-you-win-the-war-for-talent/ | 2024-02-23T09:34:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.934816 | 598 |

We love our chickens. They were the first farm animals that we decided to raise. They are very easy to raise and forgiving of beginners mistakes as long as they have a safe and secure place to call home and access to good food. Although we love our chickens we did raise them to have a supply of free range, organic eggs. Eggs can become very expensive if you buy everything at the store. You could feed a run of the mill feed from a feed store but I like to have more control. Here is how we raise frugal chickens.
There is no food in my house that goes to waste. If we can eat it then they can too. We keep a container with a lid on the counter affectionately known as the chicken bucket and everyone including visitors know to put all uneaten food into the chicken bucket.
Since my chicken free range they have access to bugs, greens and flowers all day. To supplement their feed I grow a few things for them and us. Purslane is wonderful, it grows itself and I love it as much as the chickens do. It is considered a weed in most places and is so nutritious. Perenial peanut, New Zealand spinach vine, millet, sunflowers, grape vines and duckweed are very good for them and simple to grow anywhere.
You do not have to buy calcium for your chickens in the form of oyster shell, unless you want to. We save our egg shells in the freezer and when I have enough and am putting something else into the oven, I bake them for 20 minutes or so and then pulverize them. Free calcium.
I also feed them mung bean sprouts. A little bag turns into a whole lot of sprouts and they love them. I already buy it for my family so it is not that much of an extra expense. No sprout jar is necessary I just use a mason jar with cheesecloth as a lid or I use a wash cloth which I crocheted on a plate with some water and everyday I make sure it is not dry. In a few days they sprout and I am done.
We built a bin right underneath our bunny hutch to catch their poop. Earthworms love this set up and when there are way too many, the chickens get to have some. Free protein.
There are so many ways to raise chickens frugally and I hope to post many more in the future.
I am by no means a chicken expert and have only been doing so for 3 years. If you want to add to this thread or share some more ideas I would love to hear them. These ideas are just that and they are what has worked for us. | <urn:uuid:da6ff6ed-e9fa-46a6-a5b4-339a39312a32> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://barnyardsandbackyards.org/the-frugal-chicken/ | 2024-02-23T11:19:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.980606 | 548 |

Enter the world of rosemary along with scalp oil and massage routines, a holistic approach to hair care. We'll explore the benefits of incorporating a scalp oil and massage routine into your self-care regimen and guide you through the steps for a rejuvenating experience.
The Benefits of Scalp Oil and Massage:

Enhanced Hair Growth: Regular scalp massages and the use of specific oils can potentially encourage hair growth by promoting a healthier environment for follicles.

Step 3: The Massage Technique
Start at the Hairline: Using the pads of your fingers, begin massaging at the hairline and work your way backward. Apply gentle pressure to avoid causing discomfort.
Circular Motions: Use circular motions to massage the oils into the scalp. Focus on areas where you may experience dryness or irritation.
Move to the Crown: Gradually move to the crown of your head, continuing the circular massage motions. Pay extra attention to any tension points.
Don't Forget the Neck: Extend the massage to your neck for a comprehensive and relaxing experience.

12 - Flateka
14 foot. Length 4310, width 1420 mm.
Build 1980 by Edgar Sundén, Kristianopel, Blekinge. Stem in oak, bottom and planking in spruce.
1 sheet in scale 1:10.
- 12 A Construction plan
Plan no 12, May 1980.
An eka with flat bottom is probably among the most common eka actually. Unfortunately, they have low status, much because they are quite easy to build. It happened that boat builders refused to build them, it was work for carpenters.
But for shallow lake water they were perfect, the boat could almost settle on land on a smooth beach. Most however, had a small keel so that they steered better when rowing, and oars were the most used. Some flateka have been sailed, but in recent times they have often been used with a small outboard engine.
Mostly flateka is associated with the lakes, but there are quite a few built for the coast as well. A well-known one is doris from Bohuslän which originated from the fishing in New Foundland, where the name was dory. Other names could be pråm, prömm or pram depending on where you are.
The flateka were mostly built of spruce, especially those for the lakes. Lifetime was not long, it was easier to build a new one instead of maintain it well.
The measuring is done from existing boats that are traditionally built. Some are still in use, some are stored in different museums and some are left as wrecks in different places. Some of these wrecks have more or less fallen to pieces, but are reconstructed at the plan. Several boats are gone and does not exist any more.
For most of the plans a complementary sheet with information about material and dimensions are enclosed. On the plan the boat is drawn in external profile and cross-section profile at CL. In plan, each half with interior and the other half without. All ribs are drawn.
The plans are printed on coated standard paper 90g, mostly in size A1, but can be bigger (e.g. vrakeka 28 feet) or smaller. The plans are sent rolled in a paper cylinder.

The Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA) released new guidance in January 2023, to help inform Canadians about the potential health risks associated with drinking alcohol.
This guidance shows that the more alcohol you drink, the greater your risk for injury or illnesses such as cancer, heart disease or stroke. Essentially, drinking less is better for your health, and any reduction in alcohol has benefits.
This guidance is intended to help you understand and reflect on the effects of alcohol on your health, so you can make your own informed decisions.

Co-authored by Radha Curpen, Vancouver Managing Partner, Bennett Jones and Greg D'Avignon, President and CEO, Business Council of B.C. Throughout 2021, the Business Council of B.C. is presenting the series, ESG in BC: An opportunity for a sustainable economy which is bringing together Canadian and international expertise on the growing shift towards more sustainable business practices and ESG reporting. The Business Council thanks Bennett Jones for their support and leadership as the lead series sponsor. To learn more about the series and to watch the event videos, please visit esginbc.ca.
More and more businesses are turning their attention to the rapidly evolving business operating standards and reporting practice known as ESG - Environmental, Social and Governance. ESG captures how a company plans and meets their sustainability and inclusivity goals, and accounts for all its operations’ impacts through corporate performance, culture and sustainability measures.
ESG is not a new concept. Organizations in British Columbia and across Canada have been factoring ESG considerations into decision-making for years. However, more recently, an array of influences have driven a sharp rise in the need for organizations to consider embedding meaningful sustainability and inclusivity practices, and reporting on the material impacts of their business.
Sound ESG practices have been linked with stronger operational performance, company valuations and higher returns. As a result, investors of all types are increasingly evaluating the strength of a company’s sustainability and ESG performance as part of their investment decisions. In addition, other stakeholders, including customers, employees and regulators are also increasingly assessing how organizations are planning for, and incorporating, long-term, material sustainability and inclusivity considerations into their overall operations. This practice also reflects the long-standing approach by many Indigenous communities to assess future impact over seven generations.
We know that customers and employees are increasingly looking to do business and work with companies and brands that are aligned with their personal and societal values. Today, people have the means to investigate and determine which organizations they want to support. As a result, business viability and risk-mitigation strategies require organizations to articulate their values and take demonstrable action on matters related to climate, environmental and community impact, including actions on diversity and inclusion. By defining their values, organizations can be proactive and shape their own ESG narrative before someone else does.
ESG strategies are usually highly customized and reflective of the material impacts, interests and priorities of each individual organization, as well as the expectations of their key stakeholders, investors, lenders and creditors. Informed through strong governance and planning models, organizations incorporate transparent procedures, systems and reporting tools to ensure to that ESG factors are reflected across their culture and in all key strategic decisions, and communicated broadly. A company's ESG reporting also creates another avenue for stakeholder and rights-holder engagement and for organizations to demonstrate they have incorporated stakeholder and rights-holder interests into their decision-making processes.
This work is not limited to large publicly traded companies or those in the natural resource industries but is a framework relevant to all sectors from the apparel industry to professional services, transportation and technology. Small-to-medium sized firms need to consider consumer expectations and that of their partners up and down the supply chain, as well as expectations of future and potential suppliers of capital. Even post-secondary institutions and governments are examining how their values and their environmental and social impact are being measured.
British Columbia businesses are uniquely positioned to grow our shared prosperity by taking advantage of ESG's momentum. When thinking about creating and delivering a sustainable economy, British Columbia has many strengths. Our province’s energy and natural resource exports are among the lowest in carbon intensity in the world, supported by our abundance of clean renewable energy, innovation and expertise. We have a culturally diverse population and communities with global perspectives. British Columbia is driving an accelerated focus on Indigenous peoples as rights-holders through partnerships and community building.
Throughout the province we have modern and digitally connected infrastructure and networks to efficiently move goods and people to where they need to go with an increasingly shrinking carbon footprint. We have world leading post-secondary institutions, and perhaps most importantly, we are fortunate that so many talented, skilled and entrepreneurial people call British Columbia home.
B.C. has many naturally ingrained strengths. If governments can work collaboratively with business to create and support the right conditions and policies, British Columbia can attract ESG driven investment, create good jobs and grow a more prosperous, inclusive and productive province that supports families and communities.
Together, we can act on the opportunities in front of us. The world will not wait for British Columbia to meet shifting expectations – it’s up to us to act on our future together.

Do you know where all your organisation’s WHS documentation is?
A recent decision by the New South Wales Supreme Court in the case of Perilya Limited v Nash NSWSC 706 highlights the importance of managing work health and safety (WHS) documentation and making it available to WHS regulators if (and when) required.
The case involved an on-site accident which occurred in June 2012. The NSW Department of Trade, Investment, Regional Infrastructure, and Services issued notices under S155 of The Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW) for documents from an employer. The employer failed to comply with the notice, and challenged the validity of the Regulator’s order.
Imposing a fine of $20,000 for each offence, Justice Hall noted that the “functions of the regulator under the Act are ‘wide-ranging’”, going on to state that the provisions of S155 are enhanced where the regulator has reasonable grounds to believe any of the following:
- That the person is capable of providing the information,
- The information concerns or relates to a possible violation of the Act,
- The giving of information will assist the regulator to monitor or enforce compliance with the Act.
Despite the Defendant’s argument that the requested documents were not relevant to monitor compliance, Justice Hall considered the powers granted by section 155 as “sufficiently broad” enough to allow the Department to obtain them.
What does this mean for you?
Evidently, the Department’s existing regulatory powers are both extensive and elastic, granting regulators the right to demand documents which are not strictly OHS documents. You could be asked to present anything deemed relevant to OHS or WHS processes; even minutes from board meetings. It is essential that all of your documents and records are managed efficiently. If an organization fails to comply with a notice, a significant financial penalty could be levied for every document that has been lost, misplaced, or not provided.
Given the severe consequences associated with anarchic document management, it is far wiser (and cheaper!) to utilize a professional WHS software system with in-built Document Management to handle all aspects of OHS, WHS, reporting, risk management, audits, and compliance. A modern, integrated software system allows you to present evidence of your commitment to workplace safety quickly and confidently, regardless of the circumstances that call for it.
Organizing your health and safety documentation and providing proof of compliance is no trivial matter; it is essential to demonstrating that your business is fully compliant with OHS and WHS responsibilities.
Beakon’s WHS Software utilizes best-of-breed document management and workflow management, so not only are mandated processes completed, but each step of the process is logged and documented, and you can quickly and easily demonstrate compliance.
Contact Beakon today on 02 9113 5947 for a no-obligations chat about how we can help you take control of your WHS requirements. | <urn:uuid:8da46ac6-eb1f-4c26-a051-07ce128d0947> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://beakon.io/are-you-on-top-of-your-whs-documents/ | 2024-02-23T09:44:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.945344 | 615 |
In some places, New Year’s Eve makeup is often referred to as “revelion makeup,” and it is frequently glitzy and bold to commemorate the joyous occasion.
Ways and Ideas to Bring in the New Year with Gorgeous Revelion Makeup
Many of us are searching for the ideal makeup look as the New Year draws near so we may ring in the new year in style. Revel makeup can make you look and feel your best, whether going to a party, spending time with family, or celebrating at home. This post will examine tricks and suggestions for producing a jaw-dropping, revelry makeup appearance.
Start with a Perfect Foundation:
Any excellent makeup look starts with a flawless base. Use a moisturizer that is appropriate for your skin type after cleaning your skin. After that, use a primer to make your makeup endure all night. Next, apply a foundation that matches your skin tone using a makeup brush or sponge. To disguise any flaws or dark circles, use a concealer that matches your skin tone.
Add Glitter to Brighten the Room:
There is no better way to celebrate Revelion than with sparkle. Your celebration makeup look can benefit from the drama and interest that glitter can bring. Glitter can be applied to your lips, cheeks, or eyelids. Just be sure to choose glitter suitable for the face and of cosmetic grade.
Boldly use eyeshadow:
Bold eyeshadow application is one of the simplest methods to achieve a dramatic, revel makeup look. For a celebratory setting, metallic tones like gold, silver, and bronze are ideal. You can also experiment with jewel tones like ruby, sapphire, and emerald. Using a brush, start at the inner corner of your eye and smooth your eyeshadow outward.
Create Eye Definition Using Eyeliner:
Each makeup look for a celebration needs eyeliner. Your eyes will look more defined and vibrant as a result. For a classic style, use black or brown eyeliner; for a daring look, consider colourful eyeliner in Revelion Makeup process. To create a winged impression, apply eyeliner close to your lash line and extend it slightly towards the outer corner of your eye.
Fill Out Your Eyelashes:
Without thick lashes, no dazzling makeup look is complete. Use mascara after curling your eyelashes with a lash curler. For added drama, you can also add artificial eyelashes. Choose lashes that complement the shape of your eyes and apply them using lash adhesive.
Big Lips Can Finish Your Appearance:
A fantastic way to boost the drama in your revel makeup is with bold lips. Purple, pink, and red are all excellent options. Make sure to pick a long-lasting lipstick that will last all night.
You can always wear a more neutral lip color if you don’t feel comfortable wearing a bright lip color.
Keep in Mind Your Brows:
Your brows serve as a face frame and can significantly alter how you want to look with full makeup. Use a brow pencil or powder to fill in any bald spots and define the curve of your brows. Make sure the color you select matches the tone of your brows.
An explosion of color on the lips and eyes is the holographic effect:
Metallic glitter is still essential for doing faultless makeup, and holographic cosmetics are back in style.
Eccentric makeup is becoming popular, and the highly pigmented colors brilliantly reflect the polychrome brilliance, producing an excellent effect.
We advise being moderate when applying makeup and highlighting just one feature of the face, such as the lips, eyes, or cheeks. Smaller pigments are more straightforward to employ than larger ones because of their size. The smaller particles are applied to the neck and décolletage, while the larger ones highlight the cheekbones and eyelids. Applying makeup to the eyelids is similar to what you do every day, but the result is much more pronounced. The skin must be intensely moisturized for the glitter pigments to be applied more smoothly. You must first use a moisturizer before applying a stable base. Apply the holographic blush evenly when the nutrients have thoroughly permeated the skin. If it has a creamy consistency, we advise applying it with a specialized brush. Using a highly pigmented color in the middle of the eyelid is advised because it reflects more light due to its location.
Using glitter on your eyelids can personalize your makeup and increase your expressiveness to the hilt. Simply apply a neutral base color to the entire eyelid, followed by a light dusting of glitter in the inner corner. Concealer and foundation should level out the skin tone to give the makeup a flawless finish. After applying eyelid makeup, it defines the face’s shape, powerfully colors the eyelashes, and provides the lips a perfect gloss. You’ll have stunning shine and tremendous visual volume with lip gloss.
Revelion Makeup Ideas
- Winged eyeliner and a classic red lip are two beauty trends that never go out of style for holidays.
- Use neutral eyeshadow in beige or brown to keep makeup basic.
- Gold and Burgundy Eye: This color is ideal for a festive holiday look. Put burgundy eyeshadow in the outer corner and gold eyeshadow in the inner corner of your eyelids.

composite bonding in Sheffield
What is composite bonding?
Bonding often refers to adhesives in dental work. But, composite bonding, otherwise known as dental bonding or tooth bonding, is a procedure that involves changing the appearance of your smile for cosmetic purposes.
It is a way to cover mild damage like chips and cracks in your teeth, as well as any gaps between them.
Usually focused on the front teeth, dentists use a composite resin similar to what they use for minor fillings. This material is a putty-like substance that can be molded to the desired shape, then hardened with a UV light and polished to closely resemble a natural tooth.
Beighton Dental Care offers exceptional composite bonding in Sheffield, providing top-quality dental solutions tailored to your needs.
Composite bonding teeth is a cosmetic procedure to improve the aesthetic of your smile, though it isn't a solution to any medical or structural problems in your teeth. There are, however, a few issues that it can address. These include:
edge bonding teethTooth bonding can be used to hide gaps in teeth.
Diastema (gaps between teeth)
Cracked or chipped teeth
Teeth that are crooked or misshapen
Essentially, composite bonding is meant to even out the size, shape, or colour of teeth or cover any minor issues in your smile.
If you want to get your smile treated with composite bonding then the first thing that you need to do is consult your dentist. Your dentist will assess your teeth to see if you are eligible for the procedure and whether it's the right choice for you. The following steps outline the rest of the composite bonding process:
- The colour of composite resin is matched to your natural teeth
- Your dentist will prepare the surface of your teeth and apply a layer of adhesive material
- The resin will then be applied and shaped into the desired final shape of the tooth
- A UV light will be used to quickly harden the material
- Finishing touches include buffing out rough or uneven spots and polishing the resin to match the rest of your teeth
Once the resin is properly hardened and polished, you can resume regular eating and drinking habits right away without any waiting period after your procedure.
In the following video, a dentist explains composite bonding teeth and the procedure involved. The video includes a patient having the procedure as well as dental bonding before and after clips of the patient's teeth.
If you are considering getting this procedure, we recommend asking dentists for pictures of before and after composite bonding. They should be able to show you images from previous patients, which will give you an indication of how experienced a dentist is with the procedure.
Generally, a dentist will need anywhere from 30–60 minutes per tooth to ensure that the adhesion, shaping, and finishing of the composite resin is all done properly. Where the length of your procedure falls within that range will depend on your dentist's experience, efficiency, and attention to detail.
Not all composite bonding procedures are the same. Some people use dental bonding to improve the look of a single mismatched tooth, while others will totally revamp the shape and spacing of their smile.
Composite bonding lasts an average of five to ten years before needing to be replaced, but there are different factors involved. First of all, different types of composite resin have different properties.
More durable resins don't look quite like natural teeth and so are generally used farther back in the mouth. It's likely that your dentist will use a less durable resin that more closely resembles natural teeth for your front teeth.
what is dental bondingYou should avoid coffee and red wine for a few days after a tooth bonding procedure.
Here are a few ways you can care for your composite bonded teeth to hopefully get a few more years out of them:
Proper oral hygiene: Tooth decay can weaken the adhesion between the resin and your teeth. With or without bonding, brushing your teeth and flossing properly are still the best way to keep your smile looking great!
Avoid hard foods and chewing ice: Composite resin is not as durable as your natural teeth, so the same habits that wear down teeth will degrade your dental work even faster.
Try not to grind your teeth: Though for some it's easier said than done, by reducing stress or saying no to that third cup of coffee you can significantly reduce damage to your bonded teeth.
Don't whiten your teeth: Even though it may not be at the same rate, composite resin and natural teeth will stain together. The difference will only become noticeable after whitening procedures, which will work on natural teeth and not on bonded teeth!
Getting dental bonding is a perfect reason to try and break some bad habits. With proper care and cleaning, bonded teeth can maintain their strength and natural look for years! | <urn:uuid:75b1b7dc-a0d8-4933-bfd6-01178c43b8fa> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://beightondentalcare.co.uk/composite-bonding-in-sheffield | 2024-02-23T09:36:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474377.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223085439-20240223115439-00802.warc.gz | en | 0.939 | 989 |
