In today's era, autonomous driving has become the core leading direction of the development of intelligent and networked automobiles and transportation in the world. Its unique advantages will have great potential in the future transportation field. One of the key innovations in this field is the brake-by-wire system (BBW), which is significantly different from the traditional mechanical brake system. Taking TEEMO AUTO's Brake-By-Wire System-3001 model as an example, the BBW system combines electronic signals with hydraulic braking to provide unprecedented control, precision and safety.
Working Principle of Brake-By-Wire System
The BBW system operates on the principle of electronic signal transmission rather than the mechanical linkage found in conventional braking systems. When a driver applies the brake pedal, the pedal position sensor detects the input and converts it into an electrical signal. This signal is then processed by the DBS controller, which in turn controls the operation of the DBS motor. The motor adjusts the hydraulic pressure in the brake circuit, thereby applying the brakes. This closed-loop pressure control ensures a precise and responsive braking action.
Key Technologies of Brake-By-Wire System
Several key technologies underpin the BBW system's performance and reliability:
Wire Control Mode: The DBS controller in the BBW system responds to target hydraulic pressure control commands, ensuring a seamless and accurate braking response.
Closed-Loop Pressure Control: The system maintains a closed feedback loop, allowing for continuous adjustment and optimization of brake pressure.
High-Precision Sensors: The use of advanced sensors ensures that the pedal position is accurately detected and translated into electrical signals.
Robust Electronics: The electronic components of the BBW system are designed to withstand the rigors of the automotive environment, including temperature extremes and vibration.
Safety and Redundancy: The system incorporates multiple layers of safety and redundancy to prevent single points of failure, ensuring that the brakes can always be applied if needed.
Application Scenarios of Brake-By-Wire System
The BBW system finds its application across a spectrum of scenarios:
1.Autonomous Vehicles: In self-driving cars, the BBW system allows for precise braking maneuvers that are coordinated with other ADAS features.
2. Driver-Assistance Systems: The BBW system enhances the functionality of systems like adaptive cruise control and emergency braking.
3. Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: The BBW system complements regenerative braking systems, improving overall vehicle efficiency and performance.
4. High-Performance Vehicles: The precision and responsiveness of the BBW system are particularly beneficial in high-speed driving conditions.
5. Commercial Vehicles: The system's reliability and control capabilities make it suitable for heavy-duty applications, such as trucks and buses.
Development Trend of Brake-By-Wire System
The development trend of the BBW system indicates a future where braking systems are more integrated with vehicle dynamics and safety features. We can expect:
1.Further Integration with ADAS: As ADAS becomes more sophisticated, the BBW system will be more deeply integrated, offering enhanced safety features.
2. Improved Energy Efficiency: With advancements in electric and hybrid vehicles, the BBW system will play a crucial role in optimizing energy use and regenerative braking.
3. Advanced Materials and Design: Future BBW systems will likely incorporate lighter, stronger materials and more compact designs to meet the demands of various vehicle types.
4. Increased Reliability and Safety: Ongoing research and development will focus on improving the system's reliability and safety features, including fault detection and mitigation strategies.
5. Standardization and Regulation: As the BBW system becomes more prevalent, we can expect the development of industry standards and regulatory frameworks to ensure consistency and safety.
In conclusion, TEEMO AUTO's Brake-By-Wire System-3001 model embodies cutting-edge advancements in brake technology.
The Brake-By-Wire system is more than just a technological leap; it represents a fundamental shift in how we perceive and implement braking in vehicles. With its high precision, rapid response, and integration capabilities, the BBW system is set to redefine vehicle safety and performance. As the automotive industry continues to evolve towards greater automation and electrification, the BBW system stands at the forefront, promising a safer, more efficient, and more responsive driving experience for the future.

Endoscopic neurosurgery is a minimally invasive procedure and does not involve large incisions or extensive dissection through brain tissue. Endoscopic brain surgery or intracranial surgery is performed for endoscopic tumor biopsy, colloid cyst resection, and endoscopic cyst fenestration and treatment hydrocephalus. Patients are typically discharged soon from the hospital.
Other than intracranial endoscopy, end nasal and spinal neurosurgery is frequently performed. Conditions treated include pituitary tumors, chordomas, lumbar and thoracic hernias, chronic back pain and compression fractures among others. Neuro-Vascular Surgery
Frequently treated conditions include cerebral aneurysms, carotid and intracranial atherosclerosis and stroke among others. Cerebral hemorrhage’s caused due to aneurysms and stroke require immediate neuro-vascular surgery. Treatment may include draining blood from brain, aneurysm repair, and endovascular embolization (inserting metal coils/meshes to block an aneurysm, open neurosurgery, or craniotomy. In many cases, patients may be able to have a minimally invasive endovascular treatment.
Trauma and Emergencies
Srikarta Hospitals boasts of a highly advanced 24 hour emergency treatment center. The ER at Srikarta Hospitals treats a wide range of emergency health conditions including road accidents. The ER treats number off cases of road accidents, head injuries and accidental falls successfully in coordination with multiple disciplines among which neurosurgery plays a central part.
Most often neurosurgeons at Srikarta Hospitals, deal with head injuries with raised intracranial pressure and restricted cerebral blood flow. Decompressive craniotomy, removing a part of the skull to relieve cranial pressure, is routinely performed.
To provide end to end care for patients undergoing neurosurgeries, Srikarta Hospitals has a dedicated intensive care unit equipped with an ICP monitoring system. Post-surgery patients are monitored closely by neurosurgeons and skilled multidisciplinary teams.
Sometimes children may be born with anomalies of the brain, spinal cord, skull deformities and spinal deformities. In such cases pediatric neurosurgery becomes the followed line of treatment to alleviate painful conditions and/or improve quality of life. Some of the frequently performed pediatric neurosurgeries at Srikarta Hospitals include endoscopic third ventriculostomy to drain excess CSF and correction of cranio-synostosis (early, abnormal closure of skull bones) by minimally invasive surgery enabling the baby’s brain to grow normally

Ambient, calming improvisations played on clavichord, this unique music creates a sense of peace and tranquility, like magical wind chimes and gentle water fountains. Original improvisations recorded on a 45-note, fretted Zuckermann designed to raise awareness of noise pollution. The clavichord provides a stark contrast to the loud sounds we experience on a daily basis.”
A short movement for violin and piano
Silvermoon was composed for the main title of the film ‘Here Dies Another Day’. Lyrics by the director, Caryn West.

I often describe this website as me yelling at myself from 18 years ago. It’s as true as it is not, I suppose — certainly the blog is also me yelling at me from last week, or from two weeks hence. I like to yell at Past, Present and Future Me and, by proxy, yell at you, too. So, seemed a good time to write a more direct version of that, which is this list. It’s in part about writing but also about a lot of other things. And the secret is, it’s just as much me yelling at myself now to stay vigilant about this stuff as it is about any teenage asshole version of myself. So, crack my skull with an ice hammer, and let’s see what’s inside!
1. This Shit’s Gonna Take A While
Soooooo. You want to be a writer, right? Mm. You’re vibrating over there. So eager. Ready to have all your atoms disassociate and reform you into the complete and total package. You’re like a squirrel with ants all up in his butthole — just itchy to get moving. I have bad news, lad. This thing you want to do? This “writing” thing? Yeah, it takes a long time. This isn’t a microwaved burrito. It’s smoked pork shoulder. A writing career is a long, slow roast. Hunker down for the long haul. Know that you’ll get there. But you gotta settle in. Tame your impatience. At the very least, conquer it with the stubbornness of an old, cantankerous donkey.
2. Kick The Muse
The Muse ain’t your boss, big guy. She doesn’t push you around. In fact, most times, she’s the one who needs a kick. If you sit around and wait for her to show up, you’ll find that the words come only in fits of incontinence: a dribbled splash here, an unexpected pants-stain there. Your Fairy Wordmother dances for you, so shoot at her feet to get her shimmying and shaking. Listen, there might be magic in this writing and storytelling thing. But with that magic, you can either be its slave — or its sorcerer. You can be the one worshipping and appeasing, or you can be the one with the spellbook and the wand. You’re either it’s dog, or its master. The sooner you figure that out, the happier you’re going to be.
3. Focus Up, Motherfucker
You’re a kid, so I’ll afford you some measure of distraction, but eventually you need to stop digesting entertainment and start dishing it out. And not just entertainment, but stuff that digs past the topsoil and into deeper, richer layers of earth (more on that later). For now, slow up on the video games and the MUSHing and the sex… ah, right, you’re 18. You’re trying to have sex all the time, aren’t you? You’d bang a set of dressers if the light was right. All I’m saying is: comes a point when you need to hunker down and focus up. Put away shiny things. Rubber meets road. No, not that kind of rubber. What are you, 12? Jesus.
4. Some People Will Weigh You Down
One of the harder lessons to learn is that some of the people you want in your life are sadly not good for you — these are people you think of as friends or girlfriends or even family. Their best interests are not your own. They don’t mean to, but they’ll drag you down. They’ll point your nose in the wrong direction. You deserve better. And frankly, so do they. Sometimes relationships don’t work out like you think they should. You can’t force it. You just have to cut the rope and float away from one another. Maybe one day you float back into each other’s little patch of seawater. Most likely, you don’t. You’ll both be healthier for it.
5. Anger Only Gets You So Far
Sure, sure, you’re all pissed off at the world. You’re all fire and vinegar, all swinging fists and stompy boots. GRUMPY WASPS AND THIRD-STAGE SYPHILIS. Anger will get you moving — it’s like the first blast from a rocket booster. You want to spite those who said you couldn’t do it? You want to blacken the eye of the world to prove that you deserve to be here? That feeling will carry you for a while. But it’s not sustainable. And it’s not healthy. And — *checks your hands* — sometimes when you don’t have ways of processing how you feel, you punch lockers and fuck up your knuckle. Or you break things. Or you let that anger sit and ferment until it’s just a gutful of acid sadness. Let the anger go. It’s hollow fuel. It’s empty carbs.
5. Shame Is A Half-Ass Motivator
Like anger, shame actually fucking works. It does. Those twin serpents of shame and guilt chasing you down will move your ass forward — it works because you feel bad and you don’t want to feel bad anymore, so you make motions to counter it. But shame is a broken ladder. It’ll get you halfway there but the rest of the rungs are snapped. It’s because “not feeling bad” as a motivation is just enough to get you off the ground and out of the mud but that’s it. You need something bigger, something better, as motivation. You need to want to feel good, not just want to avoid feeling bad. Victory is rarely the product of avoiding internal misery.
6. Mistakes Have Value
You’re going to fuck up a lot. No, no, don’t get pissy — remember, I AM FUTURE YOU. (And yes, we have hoverboards and teleporters in the year 2012. And sex-robots and cyborg dildo attachments.) Here’s the thing: we are the culmination of our successes but our successes are the culmination of our mistakes. Mistakes and failures beget success because we learn from them. Success is a slim margin — a narrow door — and everything outside that door is considered error. And that’s okay. My toddler knows how to walk now — oh, right, you have a kid but we’ll get to him — and the act of getting up and noodling around on those two pudgy cake-pillars he calls legs only happened through lots and lots of experimentation. Translation: he fell a lot. Still does. Into everything. You’d think he was drunk. He looks like Baby Fight Club most days. Point is: you need to fall. Falling is how we learn to walk. It’s painful, but the pain is instructive.
7. Walk Before You Run, Dumdum
Ah! Yes. Speaking of walking — you fall, then you walk, then you run. In that order. (And after that, you earn your cyborg leg-pistons and you can jump over buildings. MAN 2012 IS PRETTY RAD.) This translates to writing: to your gravest disappointment you cannot just spring forth fully formed out of Athena’s head and write a masterpiece novel that will get you a six-figure advance. You will not at age 18, or 20, or 25, or even 36, be the cherub-cheeked darling of the literary world. You’ve got to take this thing in order. You can’t short circuit the skills you need to learn. So-called “overnight sensations” are like icebergs: you only see the tiny peak above water. Below the surface lies an epic glacial mountain representing all the months and years spent pushing the peak above the slushy sea.
8. Figure Out What Actually Fucking Matters
Some shit really matters. A lot really, really doesn’t. Everything can’t matter equally. The loss of a parent does not equal a fight on the Internet. The look in your kid’s eyes does not equal a bad review of one of your books (yes, yes, calm down, you actually get to be a paid professional writer, stop wetting your Iron Man underoos.) You’re going to be a lot happier when you start figuring this out.
9. Wow, You’re An Entitled Little Cockbite, Aren’t You?
Hey, whoa, don’t get lippy with me, kid. I’m willing to forsake a couple of my teeth to knock yours out right now. I got bad news, sport: see this pile of shit with twigs and bugs in it? The world doesn’t even owe you this much. You are not the center of any orbit, elliptical or otherwise. I sound like such an old man but dude, listen, things you accomplish are far better than things that are handed to you. Your first publication (soon!) will be the product of you putting ego aside and listening to some editorial notes and putting in the fucking work. It’s not their job to publish your potential. They don’t owe you a bucket for your word-barf. It’s your job to earn that space. And it’ll feel like the angels are giving you a full-body massage with their thousand genderless eye-nipple mammaries when they do. (Hey, read the Bible, angels are freaky as fuck.)
10. Mister Right, You Ain’t
You’re not right all the time. In fact, every year that passes my estimation of how often you’re right goes down by about… three percent, so at this stage I figure you’re — er, I’m — er, we’re? — in the neighborhood of 40% correct most times (and that number’s shrinking). More importantly, you don’t need to be right all the time. Yours is not the only way. Further, convincing folks of the validity of your argument is not best done with a 2×4 studded with rusty nails. It’s best done with a hand-job using a velvet glove. …okay, hey, shut up, things get kind of weird in your early 20s. Don’t tell your eventual wife about the glove.
11. Only You Can Fix You
You are at or near the point where feeling fucked-up — meaning, depressed or angry or having that hive of bees you call a brain freak out — seems like a badge of honor, like it’s justification to demand things from the world in a Fiona Apple-style THIS WORLD IS BULLSHIT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND ME STUPID HUMANS meltdown, but it’s not. The way you feel is not unique. And it’s not the world’s fault. Only you can fix you. Stop inflicting yourself on others. Like a weapon, or a disease, or a humpy terrier. I know, “fixing yourself” is easier said than done, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good excuse not to do it. Everything is easier said than done. Suck it up, Strawberry Shortcake. Get right with your head to get right with the world. (Be advised that this remains an ongoing process of maintenance and repair.)
12. You Must Leave The Idea Of Art Behind
For a long time you’re going to hold up the idea of “art” as a defense for… well, all kinds of dippy shit. Don’t like an edit? Art. Don’t want to learn how to write an outline? Art. Want to get naked in the college gazebo while guzzling Irish whiskey and singing AND I WOULD WALK FIVE HUNDRED MILES –? Art. Not an excuse. Set it aside. Focus on craft. Focus on skill. You want to think raw talent and the defense of art are everything and then you want to hold up James Joyce’s Finnegan’s Wake and be all like, “Look! None of the rules apply here!” but here, let me squeeze that blister — You’re not James Joyce, knucklehead. You’re an 18-year-old dumbfuck with a self-importance problem. Splurch.
13. (But Don’t Worry, You’ll Get Back There)
Eventually you’ll figure out that writing isn’t this beast with a single face. You’ll see that writing is craft, and storytelling is something bigger, weirder, stranger. You’ll find the art again, like a sunset through a chemical haze. But it won’t be a thing you can control and it won’t be a defense for anything. It’ll be a thing that has its own measure of skill and talent. It’ll be a thing that other people see better than you. It’ll be a thing that is less ART in all caps and more “an art” all in gentle, unassuming lowercase. You’ll find poetry in language that doesn’t need to be called that to survive. You’ll find that you learn the rules to know when to break them, and you need to break the rules to learn why we have them in the first place.
14. You Will Leave A Wake Of Word Corpses
Behind you will be a miles-long heap of story wreckage. You’ll litter the earth with carcasses of manuscripts finished and unfinished. They will be mostly a steaming trail of eye-watering, nose-blistering manure. This will sadden and frustrate you. Don’t let it. Accept that in each were things you learned that carried you to the next one (“Oh, don’t write a novel in all caps? Interesting“). But also realize that there will come an evacuate your bowels or unplug the fecal vacuum moment (we don’t have toilets in the future, we have vacuums that siphon the waste from your body), a moment when you need to stop flicking your dick and get things done.
15. Creativity Is A Muscle
Creativity is not some external force. It is not the breath of the gods breathed into your mouth. It is neither gift nor entitlement. It’s an intellectual muscle. It needs flexing. It needs exercise. Discipline yields creativity. Whenever you put thought to words and words to page, you’re taking that muscle and making it bigger. (And when you do, you should squint and tell people, “Who bought a ticket to the gun show?” and then tap the center of your forehead and stare at them menacingly.) If you want to think of it as a more magical thing, go for it — think of it as stimulating the elf gland. There. See? Now it’s magical! Because elves!
16. Work Is Not A Four-Lettered Word
*receives whisper from an advisor* Oh, yeah, I guess it is a four-letter word. Fine, whatever. PEDANT. Don’t look at me that way — yes, you’re still kind of an idiot 18 years later. Point is, at this time in your life there is a very strong disconnect between “work” and “creativity.” You associate writing and storytelling with pleasure and desire rather than difficulty and effort. That’ll fuck you up for a while because as soon as a story reveals its inevitable difficulty or feels no longer “fun,” you’ll abandon it like a colicky infant in a cardboard box marked FREE COOKIES. This thing you want to do isn’t easy. Gird your loins. Which is Bible-speak for “protect your genitals from the flurry of karate crotch-kicks life will deliver to your junk drawer.”
17. Happiness Is A Many-Faced Beast, Actually
They say that the Romans had a lot of words for love and Eskimos have a lot of words for snow and Klingons have a lot of words for “why the fuck are you actually learning Klingon,” but writers — and perhaps humans of all intellectual configurations — should compile a great many words for happiness. Writing is happiness for me at this age, but that’s because I modified my definition. At your age, you powder-bottomed squall-baby, you’re upset whenever it doesn’t make you happy at that moment. You’re like a goldfish, unable to remember yesterday or gaze forward to tomorrow. Fuck that. You’re aiming for a deeper, longer happiness. A pervasive satisfaction. That only comes with prolonged effort. It only comes through learning and doing. It comes through finishing what you begin, good or bad.
18. Your Voice Is In There, Somewhere
You will for a long time copy the voices of the writers you admire. Lansdale, McCammon, Brite, Hobb, Denton, Moore. You’ll worry about what they did or do more than what you should do. You’ll try to sound like them. You’ll try to mimic what you love and emulate their success. Eventually you’ll stop. If I could convince you to stop sooner, I would, but maybe you can’t. Maybe it only comes with time and the confidence and instinct born of great effort. But here’s a tip: your voice is your voice. It’s who you are. It’s how you speak. It’s how you think and what you believe. The harder you try, the deeper it hides. It’s a sneaky little fucker. Stop trying. It’ll come out to play all on its own.
19. People Die
Sorry to get morose and bring this disco party to a record-scratching halt, but people die. People you love. People you know. And I don’t mean this in a poetic, Gothy-romancey emo-bullshit way. I mean, people die badly, without much poetry, and one day they’re there and the next they’re not. And that’s fucked up. But it’s also very, very important. Because you will realize that life is not permanent. The impermanence of the flesh is why life actually matters. Yesterday and today won’t ever happen again. Own that. Make progress. Do awesome things. SEIZE THE CARP. No matter how hard that fucking fish wriggles.
20. But Ideas Don’t Have To
People die but who they are and the ideas that form their lives and experiences most certainly do not need to expire. It’s why we write. It’s why we tell stories. Words are idea containers. Stories are our experiences committed to ears and eyes and minds. Books are the best grave markers because they contain so much more than the dates of our births and deaths. That’s why what you write should matter. That’s why you shouldn’t fuck around and waste time merely trying to entertain. Put yourself onto the page. Bleed into the story. Embrace the Viking immortality of having your ideas live forever.
21. Never Confuse Fear With Instinct
Okay, listen. Life is full of these binary pivot points, right? Where you can choose to do something or remain the same. Sometimes, remaining the same is the right choice: there will come a point where you will think about giving up writing because certain dissenting voices in your life suggest it’s the practical thing. But your instinct will tell you that you can really do this, that this shit is real. Sometimes, though, fear masquerades as instinct. It’s good instinct to say, “I’m not going to try to ramp this jet-ski over that feeding frenzy of hammerhead sharks even though it’d be awesome.” It’s bad fear to say, “I’m not going to seize this opportunity because, frankly, it scares me and gives me a rollicking case of the spiritual pee-shivers.”
22. You Have Died Of Dysentery
See? It’s a settlers joke. An Oregon Trail joke. Right? Old school. High-five! … no? No high-five. Whatever. Fuck you. Philistine. THE JOKE IS, don’t settle. Every year presents brand new opportunities to settle for less, to hunker down and get a “real job,” to quit pursuing that which you so desire. Nope. Mm-mm. Don’t do it. Fuck settling. Ride that unicorn to the end of the rainbow, motherfucker. Like I said: life is short. Fear is powerful. Fortify your spine. Cement your genital stamina. Build an exoskeleton of calcified confidence. Do. Not. Settle. That way lies a doorway to regret. It’s a door that locks and has no key.
23. Grow Up
Growing up means taking responsibility for who you are, what you want, and what you’ve done and will do. But growing up is also about knowing when to power down the adult side and let the crazy T-Rex that is your childish side loose on those poor goats in the goat paddock.
24. Haters Gonna Hate, But Diggers Gonna Dig
Haters are everywhere. Even inside in the form of self-hatred, and it’s that self-hatred that magnifies the hate of others. Don’t let that worm into the heart of the apple. Because just there shall be haters, you’ll also have the power of an engaged audience, of people who dig what you’re doing. You will find the audience. They will find you. You’ll arrive together in an orgiastic lovesplosion greased up with the heady lubricant and giddy froth of storytelling. Dismiss hate. Embrace love. Fuck pants.
25. Love Is Your Jetpack
Love, love, love. It’s everything, man. The love of your fans, the love of books, the love of and from your wife, the love seen in and felt for that spark of wonder in your child’s eyes, the love of dogs and friends and characters and ideas and other writers and other stories and love love motherfucking love. Love, as they say, will save the day. It will carry you. It will save you. I know, you’re 18, you’re cynical as fuck, black-coffee-bitter like you’ve seen it all, but you haven’t seen shit, kid. Go ahead and mock. One day, you’ll see. You’ll feel it. You’ll receive it as the unexpected frequency that it is. And it’ll give you reason to keep on keepin’ on.

When septic systems are no longer needed, (such as when a building connects to a public sewer system; a tank or septic system is being replaced; or a building project calls for it, like the demolition of a home), they shall be abandoned properly under permit.
- Septic tank abandonment is when an existing septic tank is no longer needed and will be replaced with either a new septic tank or sewer system connection. Typically, when a septic tank is abandoned it will be filled with sand or concrete. Septic tanks are usually not removed from their location though it isn’t unheard of.
What does it mean to abandon a septic tank?
An abandoned septic tank means that the tank and the system are no longer in use. A (hopefully) empty tank that is not being used is sitting underground on the property. This can happen if a new tank & system needs to be constructed or that the property was able to connect to a municipal system.
How long can a septic tank go without being pumped?
You can wait up to 10 years to drain your tank provided that you live alone and do not use the septic system often. You may feel like you can pump your septic tank waste less frequently to save money, but it’ll be difficult for you to know if the tank is working properly.
Can you sell a house with an old septic tank?
If you’re selling a property with a septic tank, then you must be transparent with buyers about the fact the property uses a one and provide a detailed specification of the system. In fact, You are required by law to inform a buyer in writing about the presence of a septic tank.
Can you build over an abandoned leach field?
Overall, it is not recommended to build over your leach filed and you should also not put anything heavy on top of it, such as parking a vehicle.
How do you abandon a septic system?
HOW TO PROPERLY ABANDON A SEPTIC TANK SYSTEM
- Call in the professionals.
- The septic tank must be completely emptied and properly disposed of.
- Remove the tank.
- Decide if the dispersal system needs to be removed.
- Properly dispose of any electrical components or devices.
- Fill the hole.
Should I remove old septic tank?
It is important to properly abandon un-used septic tanks, cesspools, or drywells. If an old septic tank, cesspool, or drywell is simply “left alone” there may be very serious cave-in or fall-in safety hazards.
What if my septic tank has never been pumped?
What Are the Consequences of Not Pumping Your Tank? If the tank is not pumped, the solids will build up in the tank and the holding capacity of the tank will be diminished. Eventually, the solids will reach the pipe that feeds into the drain field, causing a clog. Waste water backing up into the house.
What happens if you dont empty a septic tank?
Not emptying your septic tank regularly can result in a few different problems – toilets taking longer to flush, gurgling sounds in your pipes, even waste backing up to your house. Not only is this bad news for you, it’s also bad news for the environment as the waste can pollute local watercourses.
What are the signs that your septic tank is full?
Here are some of the most common warning signs that you have a full septic tank:
- Your Drains Are Taking Forever.
- Standing Water Over Your Septic Tank.
- Bad Smells Coming From Your Yard.
- You Hear Gurgling Water.
- You Have A Sewage Backup.
- How often should you empty your septic tank?
Are septic tanks still legal?
Septic Tanks Explained… Septic tanks cannot discharge to surface water drains, rivers, canals, ditches, streams or any other type of waterway. you are required to upgrade or replace your septic tank treatment system to a full sewage treatment plant by 2020, or when you sell a property, if it’s prior to this date.
Who is responsible for a septic tank?
Homeowners. If you’re an owner-occupier and your property has a septic tank, it’s very straightforward: you are fully responsible for your septic tank. If there are any issues with it, it is up to you to fix them.
Is my septic tank illegal?
No, septic tanks aren’t going to be banned. Septic tanks do a good job of holding back solids and separating solids from liquid, they also offer a small degree of biological cleaning, however the waste that is discharged from them is still very high in ammonia and requires treatment before entering the environment.
Can you build a deck over a septic tank?
You should never build a deck over a septic field; doing so will prevent the natural draining and dissipation of the effluent. This can ruin the septic system, not to mention releasing foul smells into the air all around your deck. The dissipating effluent can also rot the deck from underneath.
Can you put anything on top of a septic field?
To maintain the integrity and longevity of your drainfield, you should never put anything heavy on top of any part of it. You shouldn’t even drive over the drainfield, as the vehicle can crush the drainfield lines. Heavy items cause soil compaction.
Can you build a patio over a leach field?
A common question homeowners ask when building a patio is, “can you build a patio over a septic field?” The answer to this question is no. The reason for this is that the weight of the concrete in the foundation will cause too much pressure on your septic system and can lead to flooding or a damaged septic tank.
Septic System Abandonment
What is the reason for abandoning a septic system in the first place? Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems, often known as septic systems, are systems that treat residential sewage and wastewater on the premises where they are installed. When septic systems are no longer required (for example, when a building is connected to a public sewer system, when a tank or septic system is being replaced, or when a building project, such as the demolition of a home, necessitates their removal), they must be properly abandoned in accordance with applicable regulations.
What is the process of abandoning a septic system?
Septic tanks, pump or vault tanks, holding tanks, cesspools, and seepage pits are all included in this category.
There are some construction projects that necessitate the removal of a leach field, although it is not normally required by the Department of Environmental Health to do so.
- Obtain a permit for the abandonment of a septic system. Submit a Septic Abandonment Permit to Environmental Health for inspection and approval, along with the necessary cost and needed documents (which should include a plot map indicating the tank’s placement in relation to the property boundaries and structures on the land). Work can begin as soon as the permit has been granted and issued by the appropriate authority. The Septic Abandonment Permit may be found here, and the fee schedule can be found here. The septic tank must be drained dry by a septage pumper vehicle that is registered with the county of Yolo. Environmental Health should be provided with a copy of the pump receipt. To see a list of Yolo County-registered septage pumper trucks, please visit this page. If you are leaving a septic tank in situ (using the burying approach), you should accomplish the following:
- Remove the tank cover and lids
- Dismantle the baffle (the wall that separates the chambers)
- And clean the tank. To prevent subsurface water from collecting in the tank, the bottom of the tank and at least one side of the tank must be crushed. (In certain instances, unexpected circumstances may necessitate the filling of a tank with concrete rather than crushed and backfilled or removed (e.g., too close to a structure, etc.). Given that it still avoids the dangers stated above, this might be considered an acceptable way of burial.
- Schedule an inspection with the Department of Environmental Health at least 48 hours before the inspection
- Contact Environmental Health at least 48 hours in advance to schedule an inspection
- Backfill the tank excavation when it has been found to be satisfactory. Fill with clean fill soil, sand, or concrete to provide a level surface. In the event that fill soil is needed, it must be well-tamped in order to reduce settlement
- The finalization of the Septic Abandonment Permit is complete

Septic Tank Abandonment
“Whenever the use of an onsite sewage treatment and disposal system is discontinued as a result of connection to a sanitary sewer, as a result of condemnation or demolition, as a result of removal or destruction of a building or property, as a result of discontinuing use of a septic tank and replacement with another septic tank, the system shall be abandoned within 90 days and any subsequent use of the system for any purpose shall be prohibited.” THE ABANDONMENT OF THE SEPTIC TANK MUST BE COMPLETED WITHIN 90 DAYS OF THE CONNECTION TO THE PUBLIC sewage system.
The following are the procedures that homeowners must complete in order to abandon their system:
- STEP 1: Get in touch with the utility’s customer service department to find out about sewer connection permits and hookup regulations.
- STEP 2: Submit an application for an abandonment permission and wait for approval. There is a fee of $100.00 for the permission. It is possible to mail us the check for $100.00 in addition to the completed application for processing
- We will call you by phone when it is available for pickup.
- Staging the tank for pumping out by a licensed septage hauler and posting a copy of the receipt for this service along with the permit board in a protective plastic bag is the third step to taking care of the tank. The receipt will be collected by the Environmental Health Specialist at the time of the inspection.
- STEP 4: Crush or collapse the tank in such a way that it will not be able to contain water any more, such as by punching a hole in the bottom of the tank or collapsing the tank’s sides. Owners (if they are still living in the house), certified septic installers, and licensed plumbing contractors are the only ones who may perform this service.
- To avoid a safety danger, fill the leftover hole with clean sand or other acceptable material. Then grade and stake the tank location.
- STEP 6: Once all of the above steps have been completed, please contact Environmental Health at 690-2100 to schedule an inspection or for further information about the procedures.
While using a commercial septic system, grease traps will continue to function as part of the building’s sewerage system and will not be removed from service.
Septic Tank Abandonment Permit
1.Complete theApplicationPage as completely as possible. All required information must be submitted in its whole. The application will not be completed unless the applicant provides the street address of the property as well as the folio number/property ID (parcel number). NOTE:On the application, please indicate that the property owner is the applicant and that the abandonment contractor is the agent for the property. Septic tank abandonments can only be carried out by licensed septic tank contractors, state licensed plumbers, or property owners on their own property if the property is owner occupied.
The site plan does not have to be drawn to scale, but it must depict the layout of the property, including the position of building structures, roadways, and the location of the septic tank that will be removed.
3There is a cost of $50.00. Please make cheques payable to the Florida Department of Health in Hillsborough County, or FL DOH-Hillsborough, and mail them to the address shown below.
Abandonment procedures AFTER the permit has been issued:
a. The health department inspector must be provided with a receipt for the septic tank being pumped out by a state certified septage disposal firm. Alternatively, if the tank is empty and dry at the time of the abandonment, a written declaration to that effect must be supplied to the health department by the septage disposal business or contractor who is responsible for the abandonment. In order to undertake the abandonment operation, you must be either a septic tank contractor, a qualified plumber, or the proprietor of an inhabited residence.
4.After the tank has been crushed and filled with appropriate fill material, the septic tank contractor, a certified plumber, or the homeowner should contact our office to schedule an inspection.
Put a flag in front of the property, near the street, and at the position of an abandoned septic tank to alert others of the situation.
If you have any more questions, please contact us at (813) 307-8059.
Septic System Abandonment
Your septic system has performed a critical duty for you. This on-site wastewater treatment and disposal system enabled your property to be developed even if municipal sewer was not available at the time. Now that you have connected your septic system to municipal sewer, you will need to take the necessary measures to completely abandon your septic system. The following are four basic actions to take in order to properly abandon your vehicle:
- It is recommended that when a qualified plumber has completed the installation for the connection to municipal sewer, a permanent cover be fitted on the existing sewer line that supplies the septic tank. The septic tank should next be pumped out by a professional septage transporter. Tank contents left in place may cause the tank to degrade, perhaps leading to the tank collapsing. Finally, the empty tank should either be filled with compacted clean soil or crushed in situ and then filled with clean soil when it has been completely filled. Tank lids have the potential to split and collapse over time if this process is not carried out. This creates a potentially hazardous condition and can result in the property owner becoming liable for the issue. If your septic system included a lift station (pump tank), you should consult with a certified electrician to ensure that the electrical wiring for the system is properly disconnected and secured. It is necessary to leave the pump tank after the wiring has been securely secured, as described in steps 1 through 3 above.
Septic tanks and drain fields are only seldom dug and removed from a location because to the high cost. If it becomes necessary to remove system components, extreme caution must be exercised, and the excavated materials must always be handled and disposed of correctly. Septic tanks that have been improperly abandoned might pose a danger and generate unwanted conditions. Tanks that have collapsed pose a threat to the safety of humans and their pets. Tanks that have not been properly decommissioned may eventually get flooded.
Tanks that have been improperly abandoned may be unable to withstand the weight of automotive traffic, building foundations, or other structures that have been constructed on the site.

Septic System Abandonment
The correct abandonment of your present system will necessitate the acquisition of a permit in the event of the installation of new sewage treatment systems (STS) or the connection to sanitary sewer. For further information, please call (513) 946-7966. A permit from the Metropolitan Sewage District will also be required if you are connecting to the sanitary sewer system (MSD). For further information, please call (513) 244-1330. Anyone who fails to leave the STS in accordance with the requirements of the Ohio Administrative Code 3701-29-21 is subject to disciplinary action.
Prior to abandoning STS, an Application to Abandon STS must be acquired and the associated price paid. In order for our inspectors to be able to verify the following on site:
- Every single item from the STS tanks must be removed by a Registered Septage Hauler (who must produce a pumping record)
- In the case of solid waste materials such as filter material, mechanical devices, or other STS components, they must be transported to an approved solid waste disposal facility or otherwise lawfully disposed of or reused in a way that does not cause public health nuisances or water pollution. When all of their contents have been removed, all tanks and vessels must be abandoned using one of the following methods:
- In order to prevent water from being contained in the abandoned tank or component, the top must either be totally removed or collapsed, with at least one side collapsed as well. In either case, the resulting void shall be completely filled with inert and nonhazardous materials such as gravel or other coarse aggregate, or soil in an amount and manner that compensates for settling and prevents ponding of surface water
- The tank or component shall be completely filled with compacted inert material of sufficient strength and volume to prevent settling, collection of water, and/or collapse. Each and every point of entry into the abandoned tank or component must be securely locked or sealed.
- If necessary, the HCPH will physically inspect all piping to ensure that it is sent to an approved treatment facility.

HOW TO SAFELY ABANDON AN OLD SEPTIC TANK ON YOUR PROPERTY
If you’ve recently purchased an older house, it’s possible that a septic tank is located on the property. This is true even if your home is currently linked to the municipal water and sewer systems. A prior owner may have abandoned the ancient septic system and connected to the city sewage system when it became accessible at some time in the past. Despite the fact that there are standards in place today for properly leaving a septic tank, it was typical practice years ago to just leave the tanks in place and forget about them.
- The old tank may either be demolished or filled with water to solve the problem.
- It is possible that permits and inspections will be required.
- They are dangerous because curious children may pry open the lid and fall into the container.
- Falls into a septic tank can be lethal owing to the toxicity of the contents and the fact that concrete can collapse on top of you while falling into a tank.
- Eventually, this approach was phased out due to the fact that the steel would corrode and leave the tank susceptible to collapse.
- When it comes to ancient septic tanks, they are similar to little caves with a lid that might collapse at any time.
- The old tank is crushed and buried, or it is removed from the site.
If it is built of steel, it will very certainly be crushed and buried in its current location.
After that, the tank can be completely filled with sand, gravel, or any other form of rubble and buried.
Tanks can either be entirely dismantled or destroyed and buried in their original location.
The abandonment has been documented and plotted on a map.
It’s possible that you’ll forget about the tank once it’s been abandoned.
As a result, you might wish to sketch a map of the area where the old tank used to stand.
If you can demonstrate that an old septic tank was properly decommissioned, you may be able to increase the value of your property, and the new owners will enjoy knowing that large chunks of concrete are buried underground before they start digging in the yard to put something in it.
It may take some detective work to discover about the history of your land and what may be lying beneath the surface of the earth.
Upon discovering an old septic tank on your property that is no longer in service, contact Total Enviro Services for propertank abandonment procedures that meet with local standards and protect your family, pets, and farm animals from harm or death.
Sewage Treatment System Abandonment
An abandoned domestic sewage system is one that has been connected to a sanitary sewer or one that has been replaced with a new sewage system and the old system is no longer in use when the old system is no longer in use. If the old system’s components are not properly abandoned or removed, they may be a nuisance or constitute a threat to public health or safety, among other things. Components of sewage treatment systems that are no longer in operation must be appropriately abandoned, according to the Ohio Administrative Code (Ohio Sewage Treatment System Rules).
- This permit is required whether the work is being done in conjunction with a sanitary sewer connection or during a home demolition.
- In order to allow for the dispersion of any water that may reach the surrounding region upon abandonment, the tank bottom and as many of its sides as feasible should be broken up.
- It is permissible to let the wreckage of the fallen tanks to stay underground.
- Everything from septic tanks to holding tanks to dosing tanks, diversion devices, and sample chambers has to be properly decommissioned or removed.
- It is possible that the area directly over the excavation will need to be somewhat mounded with dirt at first to allow for future settlement.
- It is possible to pump out the tank fully and then totally fill it with an inert substance such as sand or gravel in the case that a building, road, or other structure is built immediately on top of a piece of it.
- To prevent the tank from collapsing and inflicting property damage as well as a potential safety hazard, this material must support the inside surfaces of the tank.
Protocol for Onsite Sewage System Abandonment
- There are occasions when the usage of an onsite sewage system (OSS) or its components must be ceased, either because of a connection to a sanitary sewer or because the system must be replaced because of a malfunction. In order to properly terminate the usage of an OSS or a component, it is necessary to follow the appropriate abandonment or removal processes. It is essential that all tanks are properly abandoned in order to avoid future safety problems caused by uncontrolled tank openings or tank collapses. Other components may be removed by the homeowner for a variety of reasons, including aesthetics and practicality. The homeowner is liable for the abandonment and removal of the property from the property. If the abandonment or removal process poses a harm to the health or safety of individuals performing the procedure, the homeowners, or other members of the community, it is critical to take precautions. In order for the OSS to be free of pathogens, the pathogens must be able to survive and reproduce in the OSS components, which include septic and dosage tanks, distribution boxes, and sand mounds as well as subsurface soil absorption fields, among other things. After reviewing relevant literature, it was discovered that the following factors influence pathogen survival in an OSS after its use has been discontinued:
- The major factors that influence the survival of enteric pathogens in soil are moisture content, moisture holding capacity, temperature, pH, and sunlight Survival durations have been seen to be longer in wet soils (with a high moisture content) and during periods of heavy rainfall, for example. Sandalwood soils have a shorter survival duration than loam soils because they have lesser water holding capacity. The bacteria Salmonella typhosa could live between 4 and 7 days in sand that dried quickly due to limited moisture retention. This was true during dry weather. A study found that enteroviruses lasted just 15-25 days in samples of air-dried soil, but they survived 60-90 days in samples containing 10 percent moisture. Number one, infections have a shorter survival time when temperatures are higher. Winter survival periods have been found to be much longer than summer survival times. A Salmonella typhosa infection can last for up to 24 months when kept at freezing conditions. In one study, exposed soil plots were exposed for 3.3 days in the summer and 13.4 days in the winter before a 90 percent reduction in the quantity of fecal coliforms was achieved. In addition, it was discovered that poliovirus survival was higher in the winter than in the summer in Cincinnati, Ohio, according to the study. 1. It has been claimed that Cryptosporidiumoocysts can remain latent in soil for several months if temperatures are kept cold and the soil is kept wet under the right conditions. 3) The bacteria Salmonella typhosa, E. coli, and Streptococcus faecalis die off in a few days in soils with pH values ranging from 2.9 to 4.5, but they may survive for many weeks in soils with pH values ranging from 5.8 to 7.8. 1
- Shorter survival periods have been recorded at the soil surface, where the pathogens are exposed to more sunlight than at other locations. This might be owing to the harmful effect of ultraviolet light, which is found in sunshine, on infections, as previously stated. 1
- The impact of these elements on the abandonment of an OSS will differ based on the season and soil type. Another issue to consider is the variety of pathogens that are present in the system. Consequently, it is hard to predict a certain time period after which the cessation of an OSS would offer no harm to persons who have been exposed to the procedure. In order to lessen the likelihood that the abandoning of an OSS may pose a health or safety issue, it is recommended that the following suggestions be followed: The use of personal protective equipment and the taking of required occupational precautions are strongly recommended for anyone who will be participating in these processes.
- Sometimes the usage of an onsite sewage system (OSS) or its components must be ceased owing to a breakdown of the system or its components, or because the system must be connected to a sanitary sewer and replaced. Abandonment and removal processes must be performed if an OSS or any of its components is no longer required for usage. The appropriate abandonment of all tanks is essential in order to avoid future safety problems caused by unprotected tank openings or tank collapses. Other components may be removed by the homeowner for a variety of reasons, including aesthetics or practicality. The procedure of abandonment and removal is the responsibility of the homeowner. If the abandonment or removal process poses a harm to the health or safety of those performing the operation, the homeowners, or other members of the community, it is critical that this be addressed. This is determined by the amount of pathogen retention and survival that occurs in the OSS components, such as the septic and dose tanks, distribution boxes, soil mounds, and subsurface soil absorption fields, as well as the amount of pathogen retention and survival that occurs in the surrounding environment. A survey of the literature found the following information about pathogen persistence in an OSS after its usage has been discontinued:
- The moisture content, moisture holding capacity, temperature, pH, and sunshine are the primary parameters that influence the survival of enteric pathogens in soil. In wet soils (high moisture content) and during periods of heavy rainfall, longer survival times have been observed. Soils with lesser water holding capacity, such as sandy soils, have a shorter survival duration. With limited moisture retention in sand, Salmonella typhosa might live for 4-7 days in dry weather if it was exposed to fast drying conditions. Enteroviruses survived just 15-25 days in samples of air-dried soil, but they lasted 60-90 days in samples containing 10 percent moisture, according to the researchers. Number one, infections have a shorter survival time when temperatures are elevated. When compared to summer, winter has been found to have longer survival durations. Salmonella typhosa is capable of surviving for up to 24 months in subzero conditions. 3.3 days in the summer and 13.4 days in the winter in exposed soil plots, according to one study, was required to achieve a 90 percent decrease in the quantity of fecal coliforms. Also noted in Cincinnati, Ohio, was that poliovirus survival was higher in the winter months than it was in the summer months. 1. It has been claimed that Cryptosporidiumoocysts can remain latent in soil for several months if temperatures are kept cold and the soil is kept wet. 3) The bacteria Salmonella typhosa, E. coli, and Streptococcus faecalis die off in a few days in soils with pH values ranging from 2.9 to 4.5, but they may survive for many weeks in soils with pH values ranging from 5.8 to 7.8 1
- Pathogens have been found to have shorter life periods at the soil surface, where they receive more sunshine exposure. According to some theories, this is owing to the pathogen-damaging action of ultraviolet light, which may be found in sunshine. 1
- The impact of these elements on the abandonment of an OSS will vary based on the season and the soil type. 1
- Another issue to consider is the sort of diseases that are prevalent in the environment. There can be no assurance that an OSS will be abandoned at a point in time after which it will provide no harm to individuals who are exposed to the process. The following guidelines should be taken in order to limit the likelihood that the abandoning of an OSS may pose a health or safety issue. The use of personal protective equipment and the taking of required occupational precautions are recommended for those who will be participating in these processes.
- If there are no intentions to use the land for any other purpose, it may be possible to leave the components of the absorption field in place. Maintain a healthy vegetative cover. It is necessary to cover effluent-covered regions with hydrated lime followed by top soil in order to produce a vegetative cover. If any of the following components of the absorption field are to be eliminated:
- Give yourself plenty of breathing room once the system has been taken out of operation and the tanks have been drained to ensure that the whole absorption field is fully dry. Hire a qualified septic tank cleaner to pump out all of the contents from all of the distribution boxes in the system. Remove the distribution network, aggregate, and sand (if any) from the site with the assistance of a contractor. The items must be disposed of in a landfill that has been approved by the state. Grading and establishing vegetative cover should be done properly.

Protocol for the Abandonment of an Onsite Sewage System in PDF format –
How To Properly Abandon A Septic Tank or System? —
When the usable life of an onsite septic system or any component thereof has been exceeded or when the system or component is to be abandoned, it is necessary to appropriately abandon or remove the system or component.
The property owner is responsible for ensuring that the work is completed in accordance with the following requirements:
- Every effort must be made to ensure that an abandoned septic system or any component thereof is properly decommissioned or removed in a safe and hygienic manner. Documentation demonstrating proper waste disposal must be made available upon request
- It is necessary to abandon septic tanks, dose tanks, and dry wells in accordance with the following specifications:
- All electrical controls and panels must be disconnected from the power supply, and all controls and panels must be removed from the premises. All electrical wires (including service lines) that are not intended to be utilized for other purposes must be removed from the site. All tanks must be pumped and cleaned by a professional who has been certified by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. tanks must be removed or their covers must be folded into the tanks
- In order to prevent settling, dry wells and tanks that will remain in place must be entirely filled with debris-free sand or other granular material, concrete, or soil. In order to prevent water from ponding over the region, the ground must be correctly graded, and a vegetative cover must be constructed.
Absorption fields must be decommissioned in accordance with the following requirements: a.
- It is possible to leave the components of the absorption field intact. The area should be covered with hydrated lime first, followed by topsoil if wastewater has been released to the ground surface. It is necessary to build a vegetative cover. If any of the following components of the absorption field are to be eliminated:
- The land should be leveled so that water does not pool, and it should be planted with vegetation to provide shade. The distribution network, aggregate, and sand (if any) should be removed from the site and disposed of in a licensed landfill according to established procedures. The Indiana Department of Environmental Management requires that distribution boxes be pumped and cleaned by a professional licensed in the state. Allowing sufficient time after the system has been taken out of operation and the tanks have been pumped is essential in order to ensure that the whole absorption field is fully dry.

Septic Tanks and More Receive Notifications When a septic tank is no longer in use (for example, due to a new connection to the city sewer system, tank replacement during a system upgrade or repair, or other reasons), the tank must be properly abandoned. Specifically, this includes ancient cesspools, leaching pits, dry wells, seepage pits, vault privies, and pit privies that are no longer in use.
In order to do this, the piping must be removed or the end of the supply pipe must be filled with grout.
It is advised that the following processes be followed if there are no explicit code requirements.
A vacuum truck driven by a suitably licensed expert who will properly dispose of the septage must first be used to thoroughly empty the tank of its contents, which must then be refilled with fresh water.
- Remove the tank and dispose of it at a location that has been permitted (often a landfill). Backfill the tank when it has been totally crushed. It is necessary to break the bottom in order for the water to drain
- The tank should be completely filled with granular material or with any other inert, flowable material, such as concrete. No collapse or confined-space danger should exist in the abandoned tank.
If the soil treatment and dispersal systems are removed, the contaminated materials must be handled in a safe manner such that no human contact is made with them. In addition to distribution media and soil or sand located within roughly 3 feet of the system bottom, contaminated materials also include distribution pipes, tank linings, and contaminated soil surrounding leaking tanks. Any soil that has been contaminated by sewage as a result of a surface collapse is considered contaminated material.
- Typically, the soil treatment area is kept in place; however, if it is removed, care must be made to ensure that humans do not come into touch with any contaminated materials.
- All separation lengths required for a septic system, including well and property line setbacks as well as your vertical separation distance from saturated soil or bedrock, must be met at the stockpile site prior to use.
- If there are any extra or harsher ordinance requirements, the appropriate local unit of government should be consulted.
- In order to properly dispose of contaminated pipe, geotextile fabric, or other materials, they must be dried and then disposed of in a mixed municipal solid waste dump.
- The pump tanks are abandoned in the same manner as the other tanks, as previously explained.
- The ancient floats, if they were made of mercury, must be handled as a hazardous substance.
- All of the wire should be removed; the conduit can be left buried, but it should be capped to prevent it from being exposed.
- She has a master’s degree in civil engineering and a doctorate in environmental engineering.
- Her responsibilities include serving as the education chair for the Minnesota Onsite Wastewater Association and the National Onsite Wastewater Recycling Association, as well as serving on the National Science Foundation’s International Committee on Wastewater Treatment Systems.

How To Deal With An Abandoned Septic Tank System – B&B Pumping – Top Rated Septic Cleaning Services
Septic systems are one of two contemporary options for properly disposing of human waste (the other being connected to your city’s sewage system), and they are becoming increasingly popular. That this is crucial cannot be overstated since human waste, when it contaminates our water supply, can create deadly infections that can lead to death, as was commonly the case hundreds of years ago before the development of modern sewage systems. Septic Pumping Services by B B Pumping Cleaning your home or business septic system in the Fort Worth region is the focus of Aerobic Cleaning’s services.
Septic systems, on the other hand, can be abandoned from time to time, whether by previous homeowners, present homeowners, or those who have been foreclosed upon.
In this blog post, we’ll go over some of the procedures that must be followed when dealing with a septic system that has been abandoned.
HOW ARE ABANDONED SEPTIC SYSTEMS DANGEROUS TO HUMANS?
- Sinkholes. Septic systems are built beneath the ground surface. When these systems are abandoned with human waste and water sitting in them, the water and waste have the potential to disintegrate the underlying rock and erode the surrounding landscape. When enough of this rock has dissolved, a hole of sorts is left in the ground, and the soil above it is no longer able to sustain itself. When the earth finally collapses, it is generally as a result of an external force acting on it, such as when you walk across it. Diseases that are extremely dangerous. It is possible for people to get infections when human waste comes into contact with our drinking water supply. Diseases such as tetanus, hepatitis A, leptospirosis, cholera, dysentery, and gastrointestinal sickness have been linked to this situation. Gases that are toxic. Gases such as methane and hydrogen sulfide can accumulate in abandoned septic tank systems, posing a risk of explosion or illness to anyone exposed. This is related to the decomposition of human feces, which occurs when it is left in one location exposed to the elements.

Abandoned septic tank systems can accumulate dangerous gases such as methane and hydrogen sulfide, which can either cause an explosion or render you sick.
SIGNS OF AN OLD ABANDONED LEAKING SEPTIC TANK SYSTEM
- Sinkholes. Septic systems are constructed under the ground’s surface. Human feces and water that has accumulated in these systems after they have been abandoned have the potential to erode and destroy the rocks surrounding them. When enough of this rock has been dissolved, a hole of sorts is left in the ground, and the soil above it can no longer support itself. The ground gradually collapses as a result of a weight being placed on it, such as when you walk on it. Diseases that are potentially deadly. It is possible for people to get illnesses such as tetanus, hepatitis A, leptospirosis, cholera, dysentery, and gastrointestinal sickness when human waste comes into contact with our drinking water source. Toxic gases are released. Methane and hydrogen sulfide can accumulate in abandoned septic tank systems, posing a risk of igniting or making you sick. In part, this is due to the decomposition of human waste, which occurs when it is left in one location exposed to the elements.
HOW TO PROPERLY ABANDON A SEPTIC TANK SYSTEM
- Make use of the services of specialists. Most likely, you’ll be required to demonstrate that your septic tank system has been abandoned in accordance with the city’s regulations, which a professional septic tank system firm, such as BB Pumping in Fort Worth, can attest to in this scenario. The majority of people just lack the necessary information to properly decommission a septic tank system. Apart from that, it is filthy, difficult work that is best left to professionals who are qualified to perform it quickly and effectively rather than you spending hours and hours attempting to do it yourself. The septic tank must be entirely emptied and properly disposed of. We utilize a powerful vacuum to pull the muck out of the tank and into our trucks, where it can then be hauled to the appropriate location for proper disposal
- When we empty a septic tank, we use a high-powered vacuum to pull the muck out of the tank and into a storage tank on our trucks, where it can then be hauled to the proper location for proper disposal
- Remove the tank from the vehicle. In some cases, the procedure may alter depending on the local codes. For those who want to have their septic tank removed, there are various possibilities. One option is to remove the entire tank and dispose of it in a landfill, which seems likely. You may totally crush the tank and backfill it, making sure that the tank has a hole in it for adequate drainage of rainfall in the process. Another option is to fill the tank with a substance such as concrete or another granular material and then cover it with another material (making sure that is a drainage hole as well). In this case, it’s critical to recall that there is no chance that the tank may collapse in the future
- Determine whether or not the dispersion system needs to come out of service. A dispersion system, which drains the treated material onto what is usually known as a leach field, where the material is cleaned through the soil process, is typically installed after the human waste has been treated in the septic tank. These pipes may need to be removed in certain cases, but they may also be able to be kept underground in others. It is necessary to take additional measures since human excrement has come into touch with the soil in this location
- Otherwise, the pipes will have to be removed. Dispose of any electrical components or gadgets in the proper manner. Modern septic tank systems might have electronics installed that monitor your septic tank system, but previous systems may have employed mercury floats that must be properly disposed of before backfilling the tank with water. All wires should be disconnected, and the conduit should be sealed with a cover. Mercury is considered to be a hazardous substance, which is another another reason why you should entrust your septic system abandonment to the pros at BB Pumping in Fort Worth to handle it for you. Fill in the gaps. This frequently necessitates the hauling in of more earth, especially if the septic tank is removed in its entirety. For the purpose of ensuring the general public’s safety, this is the most critical component.

It has happened to almost every photographer. One is taking photos in public, and a police car rolls up out of nowhere. The photographer is questioned by the officer regarding what the photographer is doing, and what the photographer is taking photos of. Most of the time, the questioning is somewhat brief, and the officer continues on. For some photographers this experience can be confusing, unsettling, and the photographer can be filled with indignation by the experience. It has been a couple of years since I have last been questioned by a police officer for taking photos in public.
Today, I was once again out on one of my roaming photo walks with my camera. Trains are my newest photograph subject of interest. Locomotives photograph much better than I expected before I started taking photos of them. There is just something about them that, I think, makes for some good photos. That is, if one can find a good spot to photograph them from. As a photographer, I take care to respect private property, and to play by the rules. This means not trespassing, or placing myself where I should not be. Trains can be dangerous to be around, so for me, safety is very important. I also do not want anyone to have a reason to give me attention I do not want.
From the overpass, I had a fantastic view of the rail yard. There was the activity of shunting below, there was lots of photo ideas, and the opportunity to take a bunch of photos. Carrying my camera in a special camera bag, I removed my camera, and I started taking photos.
My mind moved to an experience told to me about someone who had been on a overpass taking photos, and a police officer had come along and questioned her. My situation was similar, and so I decided to hurry and finish so I could move one. Just finishing some shots, from my right a police car appears coming over the hill with its lights flashing.
"You've got to be kidding me! This is unbelievable!," I thought as I prepared to explain to the officer why I was standing on the overpass taking photos of trains.*
"Photography is only one of the oldest and most popular hobbies in the world. Why is everyone with a camera a suspect for a crime?," I thought .
The police car drove past me and pulled over a driver. Relived, I crossed the street to retrieve my cap the wind had blown off a moment before. Still with my camera out, hung about my neck, I walked to the bottom of the overpass and packed my camera away in view of the officer. This was not an act of, "I have nothing to hide" it was an act of, "I am just a photographer".
Shorty after, the police car raced off in the other direction with siren blaring and lights flashing, another fast moving police car soon followed in the same manner, and I continued walking on. The time to return home had not arrived yet, and I wanted to take more photos.
* No matter how annoyed one might be about being questioned by a police officer regarding photography, one should always be calm and be polite to the officer. One should never try to throw one's weight around by expressing a defensive attitude, or arguing with the officer about 'rights' and 'the law'. One should always know one's rights, but one should also use common sense. Railway police in Canada (CNR Police and CPR Police) have the same authority as the regular police. Security guards have neither police nor peace officer powers. Although most security guards are professional, there are a few security guards who can be needlessly aggressive. One should always demand a police officer be called (or call) to attend if the security guard is overstepping his or her bounds regarding his or her authority. Prior knowledge of a police officer's authority and a security guard's authority is recommended, but one should always use common sense.

Ετοιμάζουμε την σως αναμειγνύοντας σε βαθύ μπολ τα υλικά, μέχρι να ενσωματωθεί η ζάχαρη και το μέλι.
Κόβουμε το μοσχάρι σε μικρά φιλετάκια και τα περιχύνουμε με την μισή σως για να μαριναριστούν.
Σε wok ή μεγάλο βαθύ τηγάνι, ζεστάνουμε 1 κ.σ. ελαιόλαδο και σωτάρουμε τα μπαμπού, αφού τα ξεπλύνουμε πρώτα από τα νερά της κονσέρβας και τα στραγγίξουμε καλά. Ρίχνουμε και τις πιπεριές και ανακατεύουμε σε δυνατή φωτιά μέχρι να πάρουν χρώμα. Τα αδειάζουμε σε πιάτο.
Βάζουμε ξανά 1 κ.σ. ελαιόλαδο στο ίδιο τηγάνι και σωτάρουμε το σκόρδο και το τζίντζερ για να αρωματιστεί το λάδι. Δυναμώνουμε τη φωτιά και ρίχνουμε πρώτα τα κρεμμύδια και, μόλις μαραθούν, ρίχνουμε και τα φρέσκα κρεμμυδάκια. Μόλις τα κρεμμύδια πάρουν χρώμα, ανοίγουμε μία τρύπα στη μέση και ρίχνουμε τα φιλετάκια, στραγγισμένα από την σως, πάντα σε δυνατή φωτιά. Τα ανακατεύουμε να ψηθούν καλά παντού και σβήνουμε με την άλλη μισή σως. Ανακατεύουμε όλα τα υλικά για να πάει παντού η σως και, αν χρειαστεί, αλατοπιπερώνουμε.
Σερβίρεται ζεστό, πασπαλισμένο με καβουρδισμένο σουσάμι, συνοδευμένο ιδανικά με άσπρο ρύζι στον ατμό.

College of DuPage SRC 2800(D,E,F)
In today's world of GUI environments, character base professionalism has become
a diminishing skill set. As people are more inclined to drag, drop, and click
with icons and GUI menus, emphasis on traditional skill sets have diminished.
This presentation is a refresher on the strengths of UNIX. To be specific, this
presentation reminds of the strengths of UNIX through examining very powerful
text base scripting procedures which highlight the strengths of:
Taking Advantage of Coutesy Loads
Examining useful I/O and Command
Useful Korn Shell Extensions
Establishing Useful Functions and Aliases
Very useful examples will be provided which could be utilized in your UNIX
environments. This includes shell and perl scripts which are useful tools for
System Administrator, UNIX Users, and Customer Support.
Very detailed handouts will be provided to supplement the subject matter.
Glenn is a member of the System Administration staff of Tradelink L.L.C.
in downtown Chicago. Glenn has over 9 years experience with UNIX system
administration; with a strong background with internal and external support.
He is a sophisticated UNIX user in the areas of shell programming, and UNIX
regular expression. Glenn has spoken before on very useful topics in UNIX
related topics (shell, perl, and awk programming, and UNIX Security) at
UniForum Chicago meetings and workshops; along with speaking at various
technical conferences such as Technetron in Boston (92 & 93), MARUG in
Myrtle Beach (95 and 96), and UniForum in San Francisco (97). Glenn has also
had UNIX tutorials published in Access To Wang. Glenn has taught at two
recently UniForum sponsored workshops:
Internet Security Workshop
UNIX Book Camp (Geared for beginners)
Glenn is slated to teach UNIX Top Gun Class (Geared for advanced UNIX topics)
in the Fall this year (2000).
In addition to his computer background, Glenn is a prominent Fastpitch Softball
Umpire who has worked six national tournaments. Glenn's name is enshrined on a
plaque at the A.S.A Hall of Fame (Oklahoma City, OK) in recognition for
working three or more national tournaments. Recently Glenn has reached the
Gold Level recognition for having worked three Men's major national fastpitch
tournaments. Glenn's long term goal to work the Pan American or Olympics. He
has also dedicated his time coaching at softball clinics for youth.

‘This is the West of England Home Service.’ Three voices, familiar to listeners in the Forest of Dean and the Channel Islands, in Penzance and Swindon, in Weymouth and Southampton. Daily the three announcers of the BBC’s West Region — Hugh Shirreff, Elsie Otley, and Douglas Vaughan — identify over the air the programmes which originate in the west country. Concerts, plays, and features, talks, news bulletins, church services, broadcasts from farm and factory and village hall, programmes for children: a complete radio service in miniature, reflecting the life of seven English counties and the bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey.

But what exactly, from the listener’s point of view, do those words mean? What have they got to do with the London programme and the other Regions, with the Light Programme and the Third? Which broadcasts are ‘regional’ and what is the point of them? The answer given by West Region’s Controller, Gerald Beadle, is that the regional contribution is ‘one thread in the whole pattern of British broadcasting’. A thread which adds distinctive colour and emphasis, is insufficient to stand by itself, but gives richness and variety to the whole.
How then is the pattern made up, and where do the several threads fit in? British broadcasting starts as a national service. London, as the capital and cultural focus of the country, originates a continuous service of programmes intended to have a nation-wide appeal, to be as intelligible and pleasing to Yorkshiremen and Cornish-men as to Highlanders or men of Kent. Saturday Night Theatre and Twenty Questions and ITMA are designed for all listeners who have in common the simple fact of being British (or, wider still, of understanding the English language). This London programme is fed out to a network of Home Service transmitters throughout the United Kingdom. With its allied Services, the Light and the Third, it is the staple of Home listening.
But it is not enough to satisfy all our needs. Few people are content to be undifferentiated ‘British’ all the time. We each have our national interests and our local interests. We want sometimes to be Scotsmen and Welshmen and north-countrymen. Even if we look a bit standardized it is no use pretending that a ‘Geordie’, a Cornishman, and a ‘Norfolk dumpling’ have identical ideas and hobbies and interests.
As the ‘national’ programme spreads out from London, therefore, it is modified and adapted to local audiences. The thread of regional broadcasting is woven into the final pattern. In each region the programme planners discard those items in the national service which are of least value locally and replace them with regional material. If they plan well, they offer their listeners a blend of national and local interest—neither insipidly cosmopolitan nor narrowly parochial.
And so through the day the Control Room engineers switch to and fro, from the London ‘pipe-line’ to local studios in Bristol or Plymouth, or to outside points where West Region engineers have set up temporary microphones. The transmitters at Start Point and Clevedon and Bartley take up the result and spread it from Portsmouth to the Scillies. And what comes out of your radio when you tune to 307 or 217 is the West of England Home Service, addressed to you as a Briton and a westcountryman — as both.

MIAMI SWIM WEEK
Art Hearts Fashion Hosts 10 Days of Events Showcasing Over 30 Designers
Art comes from the heart, and inspiring and innovative design comes from Art Hearts Fashion. Founded in 2010, AHF has become a driving force for fashion, art and entertainment, and its role in Miami Swim Week was no exception as the organization swept into town with 10 days of events showcasing over 30 designers at a dozen unique venues throughout historic Miami Beach.
The festivities kicked off May 27 with Miami Model Week and programming that included model castings, pool parties, networking opportunities and after-parties. On May 29, Art Hearts hosted the Official Miami Swim Week Kickoff Party at The Gabriel Hotel South Beach, where media, models, influencers and others in the industry were invited to join in celebration of the week ahead.
The week’s highlights included a 96-year-old model who turned heads at the Love For Upcycling show. The Black Tape Project showcased live music and design performances by designer Joel Alvarez, and viewers were abuzz when J.Lo impersonator Connie Pena walked the runway for designer For The Stars.
Trends were on full display throughout the roster of events, including one-piece bathing suits. “Whether designed for chic sophistication, sun protection or effortlessly transitioning from day to night, each designer brought their unique vision to these timeless pieces,” organizers said.
Art Hearts Fashion also turned up the heat with an array of men’s swimwear runway shows. Male models strutted their stuff in a bold spectrum of styles, including trunks, Euro, Brazilian-cut speedos, singlets and thongs. Male-exclusive swimwear designers including Ca Rio Ca, Aussie Bum, Capelle and Hunk made powerful statements, proving that men’s swim fashion can be as exciting and diverse as women’s.
AHF also teamed up with an array of talented Miami-based designers, including Lila Nikole, BFYNE, Diva Boutique, Luxe Isle, Pink Melon Swim, Berry Beachy, Sense of G, Capelle Miami and Paula Callejas, to bring the vibrant spirit of the city to the runway. Miami Swim Week has never felt more like home, as these local designers infused their creations with the unique energy and style of Miami.

Aaron runs amok talking about what’s happened in the last week. Busy things in the background have caused the crew at CarNewsCafe to neglect the podcast somewhat, so Aaron jumps in to bring us back on track. This week, coverage includes:
- 2015 Nissan GT-R and GT-R NISMO at the LA Auto Show
- Jeep Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition
- Ford rolls F-150 natural gas trucks off the line.
- No mo’ Lamborghini Gallardo and introducing the Veneno
- Review of the 2014 Mazda6
- Green car performance and more at the LA Auto Show
- Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good does more good this year
- Aaron’s 8 favorite test drives this year
To be honest, Aaron is probably more culpable in the loss as anyone. We did a podcast last week (Episode 23) and then he didn’t edit it, so it’s been languishing there without publication. It’s been too long now to bother, so we’re skipping 23 and going into 24 here. Sorry for that, but sometimes, life gets in the way. Especially with holidays, business ventures, and other things.

Horror (Skulls in the Stars): I would draw some attention to my friends at Valancourt Books, who have been doing such an amazing job reprinting classic works of horror. In particular, I thought I would mention the great job they’ve done in bringing some of the best haunted house books back into circulation! When I first started blogging about horror, I wondered why there seemed to be so few “classic” haunted house books around.
RPG (Walker’s Retreat): Wizards of the Coast wants to turn D&D–and, by extension, all tabletop RPGs–into lifestyle brand extensions. To that end, they have to change how D&D is perceived, and that’s what all the changes with 5th Edition is about. The rule changes correspond to changes in the game’s brand narrative; Critical Role and other well-publicized Let’s Play series such as every single one on the Official D&D Channel are as much a part of this scheme as the rules changes themselves.
RPG (Empire Must Fall): This small corporation has had an outsized influence on both gaming and fantasy fiction since it acquired TSR Inc. in the late 1990s. Because its fiction publishing and its games publishing, Wizards of the Coast has had a massive influence on what is considered “fantasy” in most of the world- and especially so in gaming. Tropes that it, or TSR, originated are memes that both employees and customers spread globally and are now prominent in properties such as World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy.
Fiction (Pulp Rev): There was nothing routine about Goshawks over Babylon. Fast, stealthy, armored, each dropship could ferry a platoon of troops. It was the military’s heavy-lift aircraft of choice. The STS used them for long-range deployments, or to transport vehicles and armor. BPD most assuredly did not have any in their inventory. These specimens had to be here for the Black Watch. The only question was which organization they belonged to: the military, the STS, or the New Gods. Regardless of the answer, Fox did not want to fight them.
Games (Niche Gamer): Following the pro-Hong Kong protest statements from professional Hearthstone player Chung “blitzchung” Ng Wai and Blizzard Entertainment’s suspension of the player, many have wondered how much influence Chinese investors or profits from the region have influenced such a decision. The truth is, very little. According to both The Daily Beast and PC Gamer cite that Chinese tech giant Tencent own a mere 5% of shares. As stated on PC Gamer.
Games (Jon Mollison): The game so nice, it’s already been banned by OrcaCon despite not being funded, printed, or on the market. Thus proving the point of the game in the first place. What can I say? As I type this, the campaign is just over $30K at the post. The world is hangry for this kind of satirical take at the scolds and schoolmarms who patrol our thought places for badthink. My guess is that the “Alt Right” expansion set will be received by its targets with the opposite reaction as the core game.
Pulp (DMR Books): Such tales are characterized by sword-swinging action
focused on personal battles rather than world-shaking events, with an element of magic or the supernatural and sometimes one of romance as well. Tros of Samothrace has all those ingredients and was serialized a number of years before REH’s work; doesn’t that mean that it is Sword & Sorcery too? Well, not quite but the distance that separates the two is much shorter that you might think.
Horror (Thomas McNulty): Joseph Payne Brennan fans will be pleased to learn that Dover Publications have reprinted Brennan’s quintessential anthology, The Shapes of Midnight, originally published by Berkley in October 1980. That Berkley paperback, with Stephen King’s introduction, is a now a highly sought-after collector’s item. However, there is a caveat to this Dover edition. This edition does not faithfully reproduce all of the stories from the Berkley edition.
Fiction (Karavansara): In the recent evenings, I’ve had a lot of fun with Heroes of Atlantis & Lemuria, recently published by DMR Books. The volume collects the five stories of Kardios of Atlantis, originally written by Manly Wade Wellman in the 1970s, and that we meet at the opening of the book as he’s washed ashore after Atlantis sank. Kardios, lone (maybe) survivor of the lost continent, is actually the one that caused the sinking of Atlantis (or so he says), and he takes it from there, exploring the world beyond and generally getting into a whole lot of trouble.
Science Fiction (DMR Books): Earl Dumarest is one, grim, deadly space-traveller. He’s seen a lot of hard light-years as he’s followed the star-roads and he’s been burned by many an outworld sun. According to Michael Moorcock—who knew Tubb and described the Dumarest series as “excellent”—Earl Dumarest was a “conscious and acknowledged imitation” of Leigh Brackett’s Eric John Stark.
Sword & Sorcery (Adventures Fantastic): Wagner considered himself more of a horror writer than a writer of fantasy or sword-and-sorcery (a term he hated). As a fiction writer, he was all of that and more. His work, if you can find it, and if you can afford it, is worth reading. He’s out of print and getting harder to find (and more expensive) all the time. He was also an editor to the top rank. He edited DAW’s Year’s Best Horror anthologies for years. They are worth seeking out for the introductions and essays alone, never mind the great stories.
Comic Books (Tentaclii): I’m pleased to see that Marvel are producing beautiful crisp reprint print-books of their black-and-white Savage Sword of Conan magazines and its precursors. The first 1000-page volume is out now, with Vol. 2 due in mid November, and Vol. 3 in January 2020. According to the reviews Marvel have done an excellent job here, apparently marred only by some copyright trolls who are preventing the reprinting of stories featuring certain of R.E. Howard’s supporting characters.
H. P. Lovecraft (The Westerly Sun): The life and work of Howard Phillips Lovecraft, Providence’s best-known fantasy and horror author, will again be at the center of a popular walking tour and film series conducted by the Rhode Island Historical Society and presented as part of the Flickers’ Vortex Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror Film Festival known as “Vortex.” The festival continues this year from October 19-27, with the Lovecraft Tour returning for four very special days.
Arthur Machen (Wormwoodiana): In Arthur Machen’s 1915 wonder-tale “The Great Return” we hear of marvelous lights, odors, bell-sounds, Welsh saints, the Rich Fisherman, and healings, as the Holy Graal is manifest, briefly, in Wales in the 20th century. The story needs no detection of “sources” to be reasonably well understood and enjoyed. However, our enjoyment of it may be enhanced if we see it – or recognize it – as a “sequel” to one of the great medieval Arthurian works.
Comic Books (Broadswords and Blasters): I first encountered the works of Bernie Wrightson as a kid decades ago in the 1980’s. Back in those days, before I had access to a proper comic shop, my local supermarket carried shrink wrapped bundles of comics, usually (if I remember correctly) four to a pack. There was no rhyme or reason to the packaging of these bundles, it was purely luck of the draw; you could just as easily land an issue of Simonson’s Thor as you could Moench’s Aztec Ace.
History (The Lost Fort): Archbishopric, seat of the Teutonic Knighs, and
member of the Hanseatic League – Riga’s Old Town has plenty of churches, a castle, and lanes and squares with pretty old houses. I spent a day there and managed to snatch a nice collection of photos to go with a post about Riga’s Mediaeval history. Settlement at a natural harbour 15 kilometres upriver from the mouth of the Daugava river (also known as Dvina; in Old Norse as Dúna ) dates back to the 2nd century AD.
Science Fiction (M. Porcius): In his essay in praise of Leigh Brackett, “Queen of the Martian Mysteries,” Michael Moorcock tells us that E.C. Tubb’s Dumarest books are “excellent,” and were inspired by Brackett’s own planetary romances about Eric John Stark. So when I saw Tubb’s Derai at a used bookstore (the 1968 Ace Double, combined with Juanita Coulson’s The Singing Stones) I picked it up.
Science Fiction (Matthew Constantine): Way, way, way back when I was first scoping out tabletop role-playing games at a local shop, I remember flipping through some Tekumel book or another. Along with Skyrealms of Jorune and a few others, it really stuck in the back of my brain. As I went on to create my Conquest of the Sphere setting, elements of those games (mixed with countless other things) informed me.
Westerns (Paul Bishop): The Professionals is second only to The Magnificent Seven as my favorite Western film. Watching Lee Marvin and Burt Lancaster relish chewing the scenery together while trying to out macho each other in The Professionals is sheer late night viewing entertainment. The movie led me to the book, and to the discovery of the sheer Western storytelling power of Frank O’Rourke.

Innovation: Quad ICE Vulcan Zero Downtime Labelling System
25th July, 2018
The engineering challenge
To build a ‘zero downtime’ labelling system, capable of accurately applying labels to both sides of moving secondary packs, while matching line throughput and running seamlessly during maintenance and consumable changeover.
The innovative solution
The ICE team worked hard to create a custom engineered system, comprising four ICE Vulcan direct side apply machines, two on each side of the conveyor, capable of delivering on the requirements of the customer, in the most efficient way possible.
The system, flexibly engineered with five automatic application types, matches the 500mm per second line throughput speed, effortlessly applying 33mm, 70mm and 105mm pre-printed labels to the side of moving packs. Additionally, the systems custom software was specifically designed to make it easy for operators to use and maintain.
The solution was also designed in order to ensure that if one applicator went into fault or needed consumable replenishment, a linked standby applicator could take over in order to provide complete assurance and prevent costly downtime and wastage.

After each act of terror, we see President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi calling for a renewal of religious discourse. This happened several times in the past couple of years, but we did not hear that his call was appreciated by the sheikhs to whom he was directing his speech. This happened as well after the terrorist attack in Turkey and caused the deaths of more than 40 and wounded nearly 100 at the gate of Ataturk International Air Port. This time, an Islamic state was targeted proving that terror doesn’t differentiate between religions.
This time, the president repeated his call (or begging) before the same audience who disappointed him in former speeches. He also tried to convince them by saying that Islamic countries are suffering from retardation and should seek to get rid of the reason behind that.
He told them that about 60,000 hadith were deleted for being incorrect. This should lead to the examination of other religious texts that encourage terrorism and there is no justification for their existence.
The President added that extremism affects the reputation of Islam and Muslims so badly, and hinder the progress of our nation. He explained that only since and hardworking will bring progress, and not terror and killing of the innocent. Once again, he reminded the Sheikhs of their responsibility for such renewal of religious discourse.
Personally, I do not know if they got the message. They may refuse such change since they believe in such concepts that the president calls to change. They may also believe that people have no right to change what was written by God. Furthermore, they may believe that they are not responsible for such change. Therefore, the whole topic may be postponed forever.
In fact, Sheikhs of Al-Azhar will never make such move since they are not brave enough to face assassinators and people calling them infidels.
If the president believes in the importance of such change, he should lead it and order the scholars of al-Azhar to do it. The begging will bring nothing in the future just like it brought nothing the past. A committee should be formed by the presidency to renew the religious discourse in certain period. This is the only way to make some change in that topic or else we will gain nothing. It really takes a bold man to lead such project; will the president be such man?

Czas wolny za nadgodziny a gwarancja wynagrodzenia minimalnego
Pracownik wypracował kilka nadgodzin dobowych i złożył wniosek o udzielenie mu za te nadgodziny czasu wolnego. Chciałby jednak ten czas wolny wykorzystać na początku kolejnego okresu rozliczeniowego (w styczniu 2024 r.). Czy to jest możliwe? Czy pracownikowi przysługuje wyrównanie do płacy minimalnej, jeżeli w miesiącu udzielenia czasu wolnego nie wypracuje nominału, a jest wynagradzany stawką minimalną?
Pracodawca może zrekompensować pracę w nadgodzinach poprzez m.in. udzielenie pracownikowi czasu wolnego (obok wypłaty normalnego wynagrodzenia za tę pracę w terminie bieżącej wypłaty).
Wymiar czasu wolnego oraz graniczny termin jego udzielenia zależy od tego, czy z wnioskiem o czas wolny wystąpił pracownik, czy też o jego udzieleniu zdecydował jednostronnie pracodawca. W pierwszym przypadku proporcja godzin wolnych do liczby nadgodzin wynosi 1:1, a w drugim 1,5:1. Termin wykorzystania czasu wolnego, w sytuacji, gdy jego udzielenie następuje bez wniosku pracownika, powinien przypadać najpóźniej do końca okresu rozliczeniowego, w którym wystąpiły nadgodziny. Powyższe wynika z art. 1512 § 2 Kodeksu pracy (Dz. U. z 2023 r. poz. 1465). Przepis ten nie określa granicznego terminu udzielenia czasu wolnego na wniosek pracownika. Może więc to nastąpić poza granicami czasowymi okresu rozliczeniowego, w którym wystąpiły nadgodziny, np. w kolejnym okresie rozliczeniowym rozpoczynającym się od 1 stycznia następnego roku kalendarzowego.
Udzielenie czasu wolnego za pracę w nadgodzinach z inicjatywy pracodawcy (tj. bez wniosku pracownika) nie może spowodować obniżenia wynagrodzenia należnego pracownikowi za pełny miesięczny wymiar czasu pracy, w miesiącu korzystania z czasu wolnego. Jeżeli to pracownik wnioskuje o czas wolny, takich gwarancji nie ma. Z formalnego punktu widzenia nie ma też gwarancji otrzymania w takiej sytuacji wynagrodzenia na poziomie minimalnym. Jednak resort pracy uznał, że pracownik zachowuje w tym przypadku prawo do tego wynagrodzenia (patrz ramka).
"(...) Za czas wolny udzielony pracownikowi tytułem rekompensaty za pracę w godzinach nadliczbowych na jego wniosek, zgodnie z art. 1512 K.p., generalnie wynagrodzenie nie przysługuje. Trzeba mieć jednak na uwadze, że wynagrodzenie pracownika zatrudnionego w pełnym wymiarze czasu pracy powinno być ustalone w taki sposób, aby jego wysokość nie była niższa od obowiązującej wysokości minimalnego wynagrodzenia za pracę. Jeżeli zatem miesięczne wynagrodzenie pracownika zatrudnionego w pełnym wymiarze czasu pracy (na pełny etat) jest równe wysokości minimalnego wynagrodzenia za pracę (...), to pracownik ten nie może otrzymywać za dany miesiąc wynagrodzenia na niższym od wskazanego wyżej poziomie. (...)". Stanowisko MRPiPS udostępnione naszemu Wydawnictwu w dniu 9 stycznia 2018 r. |

You might be an incompetent fool.
The Dunning–Kruger effect shows how incompetent people tend to think they are really good at what they do while highly competent ones tend to think they’re not. It’s a recurring theme. Fools think they’re wise, and the wise realize how foolish they are. Unethical people think they’re good and the really good people see all their own badness.
I think it’s funny that the wiser we feel the more likely we aren’t, and if we think we’re good people, we’re probably not. It’s like alcohol; the more you drink the less you are able to tell how drunk you are.
I guess the best we can do, is set our sights on God and his wisdom and goodness, and be prepared to always look like a fool in comparison. Then the minute we start feeling wise or *good, we know where we’re not looking, and we know we’re in trouble.
*Note: There is a huge difference between being good and being valuable. The world around you mixes the two and says that you must be good to be valued. When we can’t be good it says that that those bad things aren’t that bad – so you can still be OK. God says, “no, the bad things are still bad, but I adore you anyway. To me you are unspeakably precious.”

“On the day of the new president’s inauguration, when we worried that he might be murdered as he walked hand in hand with his exceptional wife among the cheering crwods, and when so many of us were close to economic ruin in the aftermath of the bursting of the mortgage bubble, and when Isis was still an Egyptian mother-goddess, an uncrowned seventy-something king from a faraway country arrived in New York City with his three motherless sons to take possession of the palace of his exile, behaving as if nothing was wrong with the country or the world or his own story.”
So begins Salmon Rushdie’s latest novel, and it continues in like manner throughout the book, weaving the story of Nero Golden and his three sons, Petya, Apu, and D (for Dionysus) who have left their home in India for a mansion in New York City, with current events including a change in administration at the end of the above mentioned president’s two terms. Our narrator, Rene’, lives with his academic, left-leaning parents in Greenwich Village and becomes friendly, and in some cases, intimate with the Goldens while he pursues a career in documentary film making. Much of what we see is framed by the author in screen shots he hopes to create at some point later on. Of course the names are all fictitious but it takes several chapters to understand why they have changed them and left or fled their home country. Shady doesn’t seem to be quite the right word for Nero Golden, yet he is very human in his love for his sons.
This book is a good read. Salmon Rushdie as usual, is ‘out there’ with his comments on current events and telling it as he sees it.

Early Studios Apparatus |
Examples of Early Studios |
I have been pleased to find reconstructions of old photographic studios: - in an exhibition at the National Museum of Photography, Film & TV at Bradford, West Yorkshire, England - in a case at the National Museums of Scotland, Chamber Street, Edinburgh. There is also an old studio in a back garden at Selkirk. It is Clapperton's Daylight Photographic Studio, open at fixed hours in the summer and by appointment. These can give a good idea of the equipment and environment of an early studio. Studying the backgrounds on cartes de visite and cabinet prints can also be helpful in understanding early studios. |
Mariottae Doll Below is an illustration of an item that has been described to me as a Mariottae Doll. The doll could be twirled on its stick. It was apparently used by early photographers to hold the attention of children during long exposures. I have not read any reports of these dolls being used in studios, but the story seems very plausible. It is similar to the way in which old bird cages were placed above cameras and sitters were told to "watch the birdie". © Reproduced by courtesy of Bobbi - Wisconsin, USA If you know anything about the use of these dolls or how they got their names, can you please e-mail me? Thank you. - Peter Stubbs. |

”Life Is a Banquet” – med underrubriken ”A Food Lover’s Treasury of Recipes, History, Tradition and Feasts” är helt enkelt samma bok som ”Allting gott och alldeles för mycket”, men utgiven av ett New York-förlag och med ett annat omslag. Alla texter och recept är översatta till engelska, och bearbetade för en amerikansk publik (men måttangivelserna står angivna med både amerikansk och metrisk standard)! Som ni kanske vet belönades ”Allting gott…” med utmärkelsen ”Best in the World” och andrapris i kategorin ”Entertaining” i den internationella kokbokstävlingen World Gourmand 2014, så det här är verkligen en julgåva i internationell klass! Ändå kostar den inte särskilt mycket, utan är faktiskt billigare än de svenska versionerna.

It’s Hangover Thursday, how’s your head? Today we are going to be talking about beer, lots and lots of beer. Worlds of it in fact. World of Beer is not a wonderful new theme park expansion it is a chain of bars that is opening new locations all over Florida. I first heard of them when they were one of the sponsors for an Irish music festival last year. I was intrigued to say the least. As time passed I kept hearing about the amazing beer selections and I knew it would only be a matter of time before I checked it out.
It all started in 2007. Pensacola residents Scott Zepp and Matt LaFon opened the first World of Beer in Westchase, Florida; for those not living in the sunshine state that’s close enough to call it Tampa. The World of Beer concept was so popular they were quickly franchising it out. As of this writing there are 17 World of Beer locations currently open and 1 more scheduled to open this fall.
The set up of the World of Beer I visited had a cooler on each side of the taps. The picture above is the case that was on the left hand side. A place that offers over 500 beers has a whole lot of selection. On the bar are menus that don’t just show what is available but teach the beer novice. Before the beers are even listed it breaks down the different types and what kind of flavors you can expect from that kind of beer. Then the list tells you the name of the beer, where it’s made, what style it is, the size of the bottle, and the ABV%. The bartender I was talking to there says they go through like a two day class just so they can answer questions about all the beer styles.
I was impressed with my favorite local bar’s 20 taps; you don’t need to count the ones in this picture, there are 40 of them. World of Beer also has a Loyalty Card Program. It’ll cost you 15 bucks to start, but you’ll get some kind of World of Beer merchandise when you sign up. I got a nice T-shirt but a friend who had signed up earlier told me he had gotten a hat. Once you sign up you’re on your way to earning more stuff. For every different beer you drink you get another point. 50 beers gets you a “50 Club” shirt, 100 gets you a “100 Club” shirt and beer mug, 250 puts you on their wall of fame and another shirt. The big prize is at 500; a party in your honor with a $250 bar tab.
If you order one of the larger bottles, they hand you a Sharpie and let you decorate it. Then it ends up on one of the upper shelves for the rest of the world to see. Before I even knew they were doing this I had ordered a bottle of Brooklyn’s Local 2. The beer was delicious, I highly recommend it. As you can see in the above picture I immediately slapped the website url on there. Adding my name to it was an afterthought.
That’s it for this week. If you have a World of Beer in your area I recommend checking it out. If there isn’t one in your area, the way it is growing that may be changing soon.

What is a flashmob in medical research?
Flashmob research is a novel type of research that allows the investigation of important questions on a large scale in a short period of time. Multiple hospitals, with the help of the professional and social networks of their medical staff, can obtain sufficient data in a short time course.
Who is behind this project?
We are a group of acute and emergency physicians from the Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, Ireland, Singapore and the UK, the safer@home research consortium.
What was the aim of the last flashmob?
We wanted to hear from you, our patients, what is important at this particular moment of your patient journey when you have just been admitted acutely.
Did patients have to take part?
Participation was limited to patients in participating centers and was voluntary. The decision to participate (or not) had no influence on the treatment at all.
Did you share personal data?
No. Definitely not. The database that was collected does contain no data that can identify an individual.

Jason Morris, SEO Marketing Manager, Brew Digital
Content creation has been fundamentally and forever changed by GenAI tools. They offer a fast and efficient way of building content, in a matter of seconds, and a majority of businesses have been deploying it in some capacity for the last two years.
In particular, tools like ChatGPT, Copy.ai and Jasper have transformed copywriting, allowing businesses to quickly turn around high-quality content, social media content, blog posts and marketing copy, in a matter of minutes. It has also revolutionised our approach to SEO, helping with everything from optimising keywords to generating content that meets search engine standards.
However, the same capability that makes AI attractive – its speed in generating content – can result in copy that feel generic and impersonal, risking the intuition and creativity that are essential for compelling brand messaging. This is because AI, by nature, operates on probabilistic models that predict the most likely next word or phrase based on patterns in the data it has been trained on.
Large language models (LLMs), are excellent at identifying and replicating patterns, but lack the creativity and intuition that come from human experience. While this can be useful for producing factual or structured content, it often results in formulaic writing that lacks originality and depth. In areas like storytelling or thought leadership, where original insights are key, AI struggles to deliver the same level of nuance and emotional connection that human writers can achieve.
Inauthentic writing does not just risk disengaging brand audiences, either, and many search algorithms are now designed to detect web pages with AI-generated content and diminish its domain authority. This will inevitably lead to diminished visibility and a drop in organic traffic, and is exemplified by Google removing a staggering 40% of indexed web pages for failing to meet its E-E-A-T (Expertise, Experience, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) standards. This is a trend we can expect to see continue as GenAI created content becomes even more prevalent.
Thus, the challenge for brands in the age of AI is to harness the power of efficiency without losing the unique voice that sets them apart.
‘Bans’ are counter-intuitive
The first step in striking the balance between efficiency and authenticity is to establish blueprints for how AI can and should be used within a business setting. For companies keen to retain that human flair, limiting AI usage may seem attractive. However, staff will use GenAI for content creation regardless of whether or not their employers tell them not to. In fact, a blanket ban on GenAI will only lead to the bigger challenge of ‘Shadow AI’.
Recent research shows that 78% of knowledge workers use their own AI tools to complete work, yet 52% don’t disclose this to employers. This not only poses significant organisational risks like data breaches, compliance violations, and security threats, but it also means business leaders will never have full transparency over how much, and how often, GenAI is being used to create the messaging that’s being published for customer or public consumption.
So how should GenAI be used?
For businesses that regularly need to create high-volumes of detailed content, GenAI tools like Jasper can provide crucial support for building first drafts, generating ideas, and providing digestible summaries or even detecting mistakes across existing copy. This process of leaving the more time-consuming content creation tasks to AI frees up considerable time for content creators and enables them to focus on strategy and creativity.
Likewise, tools such as MarketMuse can analyse audience behaviour and preferences, audit existing content, suggest SEO optimisation, and identify gaps in coverage. These data-driven insights enable brands to create more tailored and engaging content, improving both reach and conversion rates.
Another significant advantage is consistency. Ensuring a uniform tone and style across various platforms is essential for cultivating a cohesive brand identity. AI tools play a crucial role here, by supporting content so that it aligns with established brand guidelines. By maintaining consistent messaging, businesses can strengthen their connection with their audience and foster long-term trust.
For businesses and content creators looking to use GenAI to create content which will be made public, it’s essential for them to review, refine and personalise outputs extremely carefully. This ensures that the final output remains true to the brand’s voice and offers genuine value to the audience.
GenAI is no substitute for human storytelling
While AI can support efficiency, human insight is essential for crafting content that truly resonates. This is especially true in storytelling and in complex strategies like seo consultancy, where aligning with audience expectations requires a thoughtful, hands-on approach.
Humans are still best equipped to connect with audiences on an emotional level. Storytelling, creativity, and real-life experience are areas where human writers hold a distinct advantage.
By blending AI’s efficiency with the creativity and empathy that only humans can bring, brands can produce content that is not only high-quality but also deeply engaging. AI tools, therefore, should complement human creativity, not replace it. Striking this balance allows businesses to maximise efficiency without sacrificing authenticity, creating content that resonates and builds long-term connections with audiences.

Artificial intelligence will revolutionise the manufacturing industry: here’s how
By Grace Nam, Strategic Solutions Manager at Laserfiche
Much of the manufacturing industry continues to rely on traditional ways of handling data and documentation, with scattered technology and complex processes acting as barriers to progress and hybrid working. This siloed information coupled with rising costs, logistical uncertainty, and doubts over the supply of essential raw materials is making manufacturing stagnant.
The answer is digitalised smart systems and processes. Innovations such as AI-powered cloud document management systems (DMS) can control and organise critical data, creating a single source of truth to streamline processes and provide multi-layer protection against missing documentation to comply with regulations. Let’s look at some of the core ways that AI will revolutionise manufacturing: minimising errors, empowering employees, and attracting talent.
Harmonising processes, freeing up time
First, by digitalising data and investing in AI integrations, manufacturing leaders can reduce margin for error. While the integration of IOT may appear to garner similar results, the real impact of AI is incredibly different.
IOT focuses on supporting machines and network enablement. On the other hand, AI supports the functionalities that are traditionally confined to the realm of human responsibility and intelligence. While IOT connects physical objects to manufacturing networks, AI harmonises the entire process and structures unstructured data.
The value of AI lies in its scalability. AI can reduce tedious data entry for employees and eliminate delays, having the potential to transform employees’ lives by reclaiming time for valuable projects and saving resources.
Creating more efficient process cycles
AI also enables manufacturing leaders to enhance process automation, making the more time-consuming elements of the manufacturing process rule-based and decision-driven. For instance, in a recent SME study that surveyed over 300 manufacturing professionals, one-third of respondents reported experiencing work delays a few times a week across various operational processes.
As is the case with minimising errors, the role of AI is to free up human employees for other tasks, not replace them. AI and ML are invaluable tools to save countless hours wasted by employees fulfilling administrative tasks, reclaiming significant amounts of time that can be redirected to supporting customers. Manufacturing companies can implement processes driven by AI and ML to streamline areas of the business and integrate processes that often experience delays, as well as augmenting high-cost processes involved with compliance documentation to create better process cycles.
AI-powered decision making
With endless data at their fingertips, leaders can utilise AI to gain insights and power decision-making. This technology gives organisations the ability to centralise customer information and order history and gather product information that involves hundreds or even thousands of parts, where each part carries its own unique identification number.
Another example could be analysing the data in relation to how suppliers perform, enabling the manufacturing organisation to better understand what to expect and prepare for potential pitfalls in advance.
AI-powered technologies are also being implemented to resolve interoperability issues, enabling computer systems and software to exchange and make use of information across platforms. Allowing data to be shared between different software and technologies will help in streamlining processes.
By utilising process automation and enhancing data processing speed, we can expect organisations to see an increase in operational efficiency. These improved systems will reduce costs while improving scalability and flexibility, enabling the streamlined sharing of data across the business.
Looking ahead: the future of manufacturing
AI-powered solutions improve the working lives of almost everyone in the sector, helping them make better informed decisions at speed, while process automation solutions empower remote employees who are integral to the success of future workforces. This innovation is vital for businesses to attract, and retain, new generations of talent.
AI and machine learning are offering the manufacturing industry the opportunity to unlock new levels of efficiency and create a solid foundation for future growth and innovation. From sales and supply chain management to quality checks and inventory control, AI is streamlining complex processes, predicting potential issues, and ensuring timely delivery of projects.
It’s not just about keeping up with technological trends and jumping on the bandwagon. AI proves its worth for manufacturers aiming to make critical decisions promptly, effectively address high-cost functionalities, streamline operations, ensure accuracy of compliance documentation, enhance scope for innovation, boost ROI, and improve sustainability. By bringing together human intuition with the speed and scale of AI technologies, manufacturers can remain competitive – and continue to evolve – for years to come.
The role of leadership during digital transformation projects in the financial services sector
Stephen Foreshew-Cain is CEO of Scott Logic, the specialist software consultancy
Until around a decade ago, the UK financial services and banking industries were dominated by a core group of major players who controlled almost the entire market. They built up their offering over a period of decades – even centuries in some cases – and invested in robust, weighty technology platforms pre-millennium that were seemingly built to last and which most hoped could be relied on for years to come.
These businesses still hold significant market share, but in recent years their position has come under attack from the emergence of several notable challenger banks. This change has slowly but surely driven the need for digital transformation within the established financial services market and seen many firms consider modernising their offering. However, the success of these programmes depends on much more than buying the latest off-the-shelf package, and there are several elements that dictate how effective this change really is. Leadership is one of those factors; but what’s driving this need for digital transformation and why is having the right management in place so critical to success?
Perhaps no other sector has felt the pressure to modernise itself as much as financial services, where growing security challenges – and the rise of the aforementioned emerging brands – have made this a priority. These newer digitally native organisations are setting the standards for customer experiences and operational efficiency, and the more long-standing institutions are battling to keep up. The challengers have demonstrated how a digital-first approach can offer a superior customer experience and deliver greater operational efficiency. These banks have built their infrastructure from the ground up and have leveraged big data, embraced cloud-native architectures, and developed a focus on user-centric design and experiences. And their streamlined processes, fast decision-making, and commitment to innovation have won them a growing share of the market.
In contrast, many of the more established financial groups are built on platforms that were developed decades ago. While this may sound staggering, it’s understandable. It’s only in recent years that the cloud has matured sufficiently to offer a viable migration path to these institutions, with more benefits than were previously available.
In addition, there is an inherent resistance to change amongst more long-standing institutions – again, for understandable reasons; much of their success is based on caution and reducing risk. One wrong move or misstep can naturally set off a domino effect that has ramifications around the world, as seen in the global financial crisis in 2008. Convincing these organisations to go through the process of upgrading their systems to replace a platform with another more modern one, that does something very similar, is challenging. Hierarchical organisational structures can often hinder rapid decision-making and the swift adoption of innovative and emerging technologies.
Despite these challenges, now is the time for change. External market forces, improved customer experience, cyber-resiliency, and the ability to meet evolving regulatory requirements means that migration from legacy is no longer a ‘nice to have’. The pace of evolution in modern technology means that the longer organisations wait, the rate at which challengers outstrip them will only accelerate. Migration projects are as challenging as they ever were; however, it is now possible to employ migration strategies that allow a phased process, making them easier to manage from a risk mitigation perspective. Any remaining reasons to delay are now massively outweighed by the reasons to proceed with migration – frankly, it’s now imperative.
The pivotal role of leadership
That’s not to say that all modernisation programmes are a success; research from McKinsey indicates that over 70% of digital transformation projects fall short of their goals. There is a range of factors to this, but a common recurring theme is ineffective leadership. Without leaders capable of reimagining these structures and securing buy-in from the workforce, digital transformation initiatives are always likely to encounter issues.
However, in the context of digital transformation, leadership is more than just guiding an organisation through technology adoption. These individuals are responsible for setting the tone and direction for change, building a sense of urgency, and ensuring that the everyone understands the purpose behind the transformation. Remembering the quote attributed to Peter Drucker, culture eats strategy for lunch. The best managers will be able to set a clear vision for change and convey palpably how it will benefit customers and colleagues. They will also be adept at fostering a more agile culture, encouraging collaboration and a sense of continuous learning across teams. To horribly torture Drucker’s famous statement, if strategy is lunch, leaders need to make sure culture is the breakfast of champions.
There’s a form of culture that’s more than “the way we do things here”. It’s something that’s baked in; the structural risk aversion that often critically undermines the change programmes organisations set out to deliver. It doesn’t matter how many digital experts an institution hires to lead the way into a digital future if outdated governance approaches fetter initiatives before they can get out of the starting blocks. Leaders need to be given the scope to propose new approaches to investing in infrastructure – ones that not only balance investment in legacy modernisation with investment in innovation, but which allow the two to work in symbiosis.
Fundamentally, culture should not be allowed to eat innovation for lunch; leaders need to be free to keep pace with innovation beyond the ‘walls’ of their institution – free indeed to conceive of those walls breaking down as the banking ecosystem of the future takes shape.
What’s next for EAM? Get ready for an AI-inspired future
By Berend Booms, Head of Enterprise Asset Management Insights at IFS Ultimo
More and more organisations in every sector are investing in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that will enable them to automate and transform their operations. Generative AI (GenAI) is the latest innovation to drive the current wave of AI adoption and, according to Gartner, by 2027 more than 50 percent of the GenAI tools enterprises deploy will be utilised for a specific industry task or business function.
In 2024, the global AI market jumped beyond $184 billion – a growth of nearly 50 billion US dollars compared to 2023 as businesses put AI to work to deliver new business value. Top use cases include chatbots and voice assistants, IT operations management, process automation, financial reporting and analysis, and scheduling optimisation to name but a few. However, according to tech industry analysts, AI is now set to revolutionise how industrial businesses boost productivity and performance while reducing operational risk.
The big challenge for today’s industrial firms is understanding how to best unlock this potential and maximise value from their AI investments from Day One. That’s because the integration of AI in Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) platforms is set to radically enhance how organisations operating in industrial sectors such as manufacturing, logistics and food production improve reliability and streamline their operations.
Let’s look at how these firms can expect to derive measurable benefits and value from their AI-infused EAM investments.
A world of opportunity
Indications are that AI will help break the productivity impasse that hampers many industrial organisations from achieving measurable gains and bedding in sustainable growth. For example, deploying AI and automation technologies to address workforce scarcity issues and reduce the amount of time that workers spend on mundane repetitive tasks. But that’s not all.
Research by McKinsey has found that following the successful implementation of AI technologies, companies were able to cut logistics costs by 15 percent, achieve a 35 percent improvement in inventory management and realise a 65 percent increase in service level agreements met. Meanwhile, AI-supported maintenance is set to maximise operational productivity by using machine learning to predict and prevent equipment failures. AI enabled predictive maintenance can extend asset lifespans by 20-40 percent.
By leveraging AI, future EAM toolsets will become more intuitive, accessible and predictive. All of which will deliver a comprehensive and data rich overview of asset productivity, uptime and cost alongside new and highly coordinated maintenance management capabilities.
Be that as it may, AI will not leapfrog organisations’ journey towards predictive maintenance instantaneously. Significant investments are imperative for many of the new gen AI functionalities – an expenditure many organisations are not able to commit to. Organisations starting out on their AI journey should seek out ways to generate incremental gains fast while retailing complete control over their AI implementation and outcomes.
With reactive maintenance being the reality of the situation for most industrial organisations, companies should instead focus their attention on EAM solutions capable of realising fast time to value without any additional investment requirements. The good news is that AI-infused EAM solutions are now making it easy to pursue a step-by-step approach to improving how organisations manage and maintain their physical assets.
Elevating the effectiveness of reactive maintenance
For many industrial organisations, predictive maintenance is a long-term goal rather than a short-term reality. That said, today’s AI-enhanced EAM solutions enable industrial firms to significantly reduce the time they currently spend undertaking reactive maintenance. By realising these benefits today, they will be able to start working towards their future predictive maintenance vision.
For example, with the average cost of downtime in manufacturing often exceeding $100K an hour, maintenance and operational leaders know that any reduction in Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) translates into increased asset productivity and thousands of dollars in downtime saved. However, 80 percent of MTTR is typically wastage that arises from poor inter-team communications and a lack of detailed failure reports that make the diagnosis process more time-consuming and cumbersome.
Traditional asset failure reports often contain too few details, which frustrates the efforts of technicians tasked with pinpointing issues. Yet the use of AI embedded in the latest iterations of EAM software can reduce diagnosis time significantly, with every percent reduction in MTTR equating to cost savings of thousands of dollars. This is on top of the boost in productivity for everyone involved in the maintenance process.
For organisations this means they can utilise AI functionality to not only improve fault reporting but enable better inter-team collaboration and more hands-on ‘wrench time’ for engineers. All of which helps to maximise the productivity of highly skilled employees, so they can increase asset availability in a more streamlined and efficient way.
Frontline workers spend most their day working with critical assets. They know these assets inside and out. They know what the assets smell like, what they sound like and what they are supposed to look like. Any irregularities will not pass them by. Capturing these sensory observations in their failure reports will greatly expedite the MTTR on any incident raised. But that’s not the only real-world benefit that’s up for grabs.
Harnessing the power of data
Besides slashing MTTR times, today’s AI-powered EAM tools enable organisations to elevate their data management capabilities from good to great.
Alongside automating data collection and delivering access to better quality data that adds value instantly, these systems provide powerful reporting and dashboarding tools that enable users to make sense of and operationalise data. When combined with machine learning, this will significantly enhance the error detection and prevention capabilities of organisations looking to move the dial where preventative and predictive maintenance is concerned.
Similarly, these systems make it possible to accurately capture every change, move and repair in a truly user-friendly way. For example, using AI-powered tools to take photo-based meter readings, autogenerate image captions and auto-translate multilingual data.
Working towards an AI-inspired EAM future
Today’s industrial firms want to overcome the multiple challenges that can get in the way of improving uptime, optimising maintenance schedules and elevating asset performance. Today’s AI-powered EAM systems are capable of analysing asset information and suggesting diagnostic and mitigation actions that enhance troubleshooting processes and reduce unplanned interruptions.
One thing is for sure: AI will take EAM to the next level and here at IFS Ultimo we’re focused on the addition of AI features that make it easy for organisations to incrementally apply AI to real-world use cases and generate measurable value – at a pace that works best for them.

(c) The approval by the stockholders of the Company of a Corporate Transaction or, if consummation of such Corporate Transaction is subject, at the time of such approval by stockholders, to the consent of any government or governmental agency, the obtaining of such consent (either explicitly or implicitly by consummation); excluding, however, such a Corporate Transaction pursuant to which (i) all or substantially all of the Beneficial Owners of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction will Beneficially Own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the Outstanding Company Common Stock, or more than 50% of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities of the Company resulting from such Corporate Transaction (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (ii) no Person (other than the Company, any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company or such corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction) will Beneficially Own, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the Outstanding Company Common Stock or Outstanding Company Voting Securities resulting from such Corporate Transaction except to the extent that such ownership existed with respect to the Company prior to the Corporate Transaction, and (iii) individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board will constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction; or

(h) to impose such additional terms and conditions upon the grant or retention of Awards as the Committee may, before or concurrently with the grant thereof, deem appropriate;
(i) to correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency, and to construe and interpret the Plan, the rules and regulations, and Award Agreement or any other instrument entered into or relating to an Award under the Plan; and

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN AND ADJUSTMENTS; CODE SECTION 162(M)
4.1 Number of Shares Available for Grants.
(a) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2, the aggregate number of Shares which may be delivered under the Plan shall not exceed 50,000 Shares. If any Shares subject to an Award granted hereunder are forfeited or such Award otherwise terminates without the delivery of such Shares, the Shares subject to such Award, to the extent of any such forfeiture or termination, shall again be available for grant under the Plan.
(b) The Committee shall from time to time determine the appropriate methodology for calculating the number of Shares that have been delivered pursuant to the Plan. Shares delivered pursuant to the Plan shall be treasury Shares, including Shares repurchased by the Company for purposes of the Plan.
4.2 Adjustments in Authorized Shares and Awards.
(a) In the event that the Committee determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, or other securities or property), stock split or combination, forward or reverse merger, reorganization, subdivision, consolidation or reduction of capital, recapitalization, consolidation, scheme of arrangement, split-up, spin-off or combination involving the Company or repurchase or exchange of Shares, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of: (i) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan, (ii) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted to a Grantee, and provided further that the number of Shares subject to any Award denominated in Shares shall always be a whole number.
4.3 Compliance With Code Section 162(m).
(a) Section 162(m) Compliance. To the extent the Committee determines that compliance with the Performance-Based Exception is desirable with respect to an Award, Sections 4.3 and 4.4 shall apply (it being understood that compliance with 162(m) is not mandated under the Plan with respect to Awards). In the event that changes are made to Code Section 162(m) to permit flexibility with respect to any Awards available under the Plan, the Committee may, subject to Sections 4.3 and 4.4, make any adjustments to such Awards as it deems appropriate.
(b) Eligible Persons. The Committee shall designate the Eligible Persons (each of whom shall be Covered Employees) to be granted an Award intended to comply with Performance-Based Exception within the time period prescribed by Section 162(m) of the Code (i.e., within the first ninety (90) days of each Year subject to any exception stated therein); provided that for a hiring or promotion after such period, the designation shall not be later than the elapse of 25% of the remainder of such Year after such hiring or promotion.
(c) Time Frame Required to Establish Performance Measures. The Committee shall set the objective-based Performance Measures (as set forth in Section 4.4 below) in writing within the time period prescribed by Section 162(m) of the Code (i.e., within the first ninety (90) days of each Year subject to any exception stated therein).
(d) Committee Certification and Determination of Amount of Award. The Committee shall determine and certify in writing (resolutions or minutes are acceptable) the degree of attainment of Performance Measures for any Award intended to comply with Performance-Based Exception as soon as administratively practicable after the end of each Year but not later than sixty (60) days after the end of such Year. The Committee reserves the discretion to reduce (but not below zero) the amount of an individual’s Award below the maximum Award. The determination of the Committee to reduce (or not pay) an individual’s Award for a Year shall not affect the maximum Award payable to any other individual.
(e) 162(m) Award Limitations. The aggregate number of Shares subject to Restricted Stock Awards granted under this Plan to any single Grantee shall not exceed 2500 Shares during any calendar year. The foregoing limitation shall be subject to adjustment under Section 4.2(a), but only to the extent that such adjustment will not affect the status of any Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.
4.4 Performance Based Exception Under Section 162(m).
(a) Performance Measures. Subject to Section 4.4(d), unless and until the Committee proposes for stockholder vote and stockholders approve a change in the general Performance Measures set forth in this Section 4.4(a), for Awards designed to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the objective performance criteria shall be based upon one or more of the following (each a “Performance Measure”):
i. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation or amortization (“EBITDA”) (actual and adjusted and either in the aggregate or on a per-Share basis);
ii. Earnings (either in the aggregate or on a per-Share basis);
iii. Net income or loss (either in the aggregate or on a per-Share basis);
iv. Operating profit;
v. Growth or rate of growth in cash flow;
vi. Cash flow provided by operations (either in the aggregate or on a per-Share basis);
vii. Free cash flow (either in the aggregate on a per-Share basis);
viii. Gross revenues;
ix. Reductions in expense levels, operating and maintenance cost management and employee productivity;
x. Stockholder returns and return measures (including return on assets, investments, equity, or gross sales);
xi. Growth or rate of growth in return measures;
xii. Share price (including growth measures and total stockholder return or attainment by the Shares of a specified value for a specified period of time);
xiii. Net economic value and/or economic value added;
xiv. Aggregate product unit and pricing targets;
xv. Strategic business criteria, consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified revenue, market share, market penetration, geographic business expansion goals, objectively identified project milestones, production volume levels, cost targets, and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures;
xvi. Achievement of business or operational goals such as market share and/or business development;
xvii. Results of customer satisfaction surveys; and/or
xviii. Debt ratings, debt leverage and debt service;
provided that applicable Performance Measures may be applied on a pre- or post-tax basis; and provided further that the Committee may, on the Grant Date of an Award intended to comply with the Performance-Based Exception, and in the case of other Awards, at any time, provide that the formula for such Award may include or exclude items to measure specific objectives, such as losses from discontinued operations, extraordinary gains or losses, the cumulative effect of accounting changes, acquisitions or divestitures, foreign exchange impacts and any unusual, nonrecurring gain or loss.
(b) Flexibility in Setting Performance Measures. The levels of performance required with respect to Performance Measures may be expressed in absolute or relative levels and may be based upon a set increase, set positive result, maintenance of the status quo, set decrease or set negative result. Performance Measures may differ for Awards to different Grantees. The Committee shall specify the weighting (which may be the same or different for multiple objectives) to be given to each performance objective for purposes of determining the final amount payable with respect to any such Award. Any one or more of the Performance Measures may apply to the Grantee, a department, unit, division or function within the Company or any one or more Subsidiaries; and may apply either alone or relative to the performance of other businesses or individuals (including industry or general market indices).
(c) Adjustments. The Committee shall have the discretion to adjust the determinations of the degree of attainment of the pre-established Performance Measures; provided, however, that Awards which are designed to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception may not (unless the Committee determines to amend the Award so that it no longer qualified for the Performance-Based Exception) be adjusted upward (the Committee shall retain the discretion to adjust such Awards downward). The Committee may not, unless the Committee determines to amend the Award so that it no longer qualifies for the Performance-Based Exception, delegate any responsibility with respect to Awards intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception. All determinations by the Committee as to the achievement of the Performance Measure(s) shall be in writing prior to payment of the Award.
(d) Changes to Performance Measures. In the event that applicable laws, rules or regulations change to permit Committee discretion to alter the governing Performance Measures without obtaining stockholder approval of such changes, and still qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the Committee shall have sole discretion to make such changes without obtaining stockholder approval.
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
5.1 Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to and consistent with the provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Restricted Stock to any Eligible Person in such amounts as the Committee shall determine.
5.2 Award Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Restrictions, the number of Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award, and such other provisions not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan as the Committee shall determine. The Committee may impose such Restrictions on any Restricted Stock Award as it deems appropriate, including time-based Restrictions, performance –based Restrictions, Restrictions based on the occurrence of a specified event, and/or Restrictions under applicable securities laws.
5.3 Consideration for Award. The Committee shall determine the amount, if any, that a Grantee shall pay for Restricted Stock.
5.4 Vesting. Shares subject to a Restricted Stock Award shall become vested as specified in the applicable Award Agreement. For purposes of calculating the number of Shares of Restricted Stock that become vested, Share amounts shall be rounded to the nearest whole Share amount.
5.5 Effect of Forfeiture. If Restricted Stock is forfeited, and if the Grantee was required to pay for such Shares, the Grantee shall be deemed to have resold such Restricted Stock to the Company at a price equal to the lesser of (a) the amount paid by the Grantee for such Restricted Stock and (b) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of such forfeiture. The Company shall pay to the Grantee the deemed sale price as soon as is administratively practical. Such Restricted Stock shall cease to be outstanding, and shall no longer confer on the Grantee thereof any rights as a stockholder of the Company, from and after the date of the event causing the forfeiture, whether or not the Grantee accepts the Company’s tender of payment for such Restricted Stock.
5.6 Escrow; Legends. The Committee may provide that the certificates for any Restricted Stock (a) shall be held (together with a stock power executed in blank by the Grantee) in escrow by the Secretary of the Company until such Restricted Stock becomes nonforfeitable or is forfeited and/or (b) shall bear an appropriate legend restricting the transfer of such Restricted Stock under the Plan. If any Restricted Stock becomes nonforfeitable, the Company shall cause certificates for such Shares to be delivered without such legend or shall cause a release of restrictions on a book entry account maintained by the Company’s transfer agent.
5.7 Payment of Withholding Taxes. The Company has the right to withhold amounts from Awards to satisfy federal, state, local or foreign tax withholding requirements as it deems appropriate. The Company may decide to satisfy the withholding obligations through additional withholding on salary or other wages or by requiring the Grantee to promptly remit the amount of withholding to the Company prior to the delivery of the Shares with respect to the Award, or the Company may in its discretion withhold from the Shares to be delivered Shares sufficient to satisfy all or a portion of such tax withholding requirements.
5.8 Rights Upon Termination of Service.
(a) General. Except to the extent that the Committee provides otherwise in an Award Agreement, in the event the Grantee’s Termination of Service is due to any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement, all unvested Restricted Stock Awards then held by the Grantee shall be cancelled and forfeited to the Company.
(b) Termination of Service Due to Death, Disability or Retirement. In the event the Grantee’s Termination of Service is due to death, Disability or Retirement, all unvested Restricted Stock Awards then held by the Grantee that are not subject to performance-based vesting conditions will become fully vested. If the unvested Restricted Stock Awards then held by the Grantee are subject to performance-based vesting conditions, the vesting of such Restricted Stock Awards shall occur only when and to the extent the applicable Performance Goals are satisfied.
5.9 Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, all unvested Restricted Stock Awards will become immediately fully vested and non-forfeitable and any Performance Goals applicable to the Restricted Stock Awards will be deemed to have been satisfied to the maximum degree specified in the Award.
5.10 Nontransferability of Awards. No right or interest of any Grantee in a Restricted Stock Award prior to vesting may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Grantee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the Committee to honor the order of a domestic relations court regarding an Award, except to the extent required under applicable law.
5.11 Beneficiary Designation. Each Grantee under the Plan may, from time to time, name a beneficiary to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. If no beneficiary has been designated or if a beneficiary designated by the Grantee fails to survive the Grantee, benefits remaining unpaid at the Grantee’s death shall be paid to the Grantee’s estate.
5.12 Stockholder Rights in Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock, whether held by a Grantee or in escrow or other custodial arrangement by the Secretary of the Company, shall confer on the Grantee all rights of a stockholder of the Company, except as otherwise provided in the Plan or Award Agreement. At the time of a grant of Restricted Stock, the Committee may require the payment of cash dividends thereon to be deferred and, if the Committee so determines, reinvested in additional Shares of Restricted Stock. Stock dividends and deferred cash dividends issued with respect to Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same restrictions and other terms as apply to the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which such dividends are issued.
AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION
6.1 Amendment and Termination. Subject to Section 6.2, the Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan in whole or in part without the approval of the Company’s stockholders, provided that any amendment shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders if such approval is required by any federal or state law or regulation or any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares may then be listed or quoted.
6.2 Previously Granted Awards. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or an Award Agreement, no termination, amendment or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted under the Plan without the written consent of the Grantee of such Award.
7.1 Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin other than its law respecting choice of laws and applicable federal law.
7.2 Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.
7.3 Securities Law Compliance. If the Committee deems it necessary to comply with any applicable securities law, or the requirements of any securities exchange or market upon which Shares may be listed, the Committee may impose any restriction on Awards or Shares acquired pursuant to Awards under the Plan as it may deem advisable. All evidence of Share ownership delivered pursuant to any Award shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations or other requirements of the SEC, any securities exchange or market upon which Shares are then listed, and any applicable securities law. If so requested by the Company, the Grantee shall make a written representation and warranty to the Company that he or she will not sell or offer to sell any Shares unless a registration statement shall be in effect with respect to such Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities law or unless he or she shall have furnished to the Company an opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, that such registration is not required.
If the Committee determines that nonforfeitability of, or delivery of benefits pursuant to, any Award would violate any applicable provision of securities laws or the listing requirements of any national securities exchange or national market system on which are listed any of the Company’s equity securities, then the Committee may postpone any such nonforfeitability or delivery to comply with all such provisions at the earliest practicable date.
7.4 Section 409A. To the extent applicable and notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, this Plan and Awards hereunder shall be administered, operated and interpreted in accordance with Code Section 409A and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date on which the Board approves the Plan; provided, however, in the event that the Committee determines that any amounts payable hereunder may be taxable to a Grantee under Code Section 409A and related Department of Treasury guidance prior to the payment and/or delivery to such Grantee of such amount, the Company may (a) adopt such amendments to the Plan and related Award, and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, that the Committee determines necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by the Plan and Awards hereunder and/or (b) take such other actions as the Committee determines necessary or appropriate to comply with or exempt the Plan and/or Awards from the requirements of Code Section 409A and related Department of Treasury guidance, including such Department of Treasury guidance and other interpretive materials as may be issued after the date on which the Board approves the Plan. The Company and its Subsidiaries make no guarantees to any Person regarding the tax treatment of Awards or payments made under the Plan, and, notwithstanding the above provisions and any agreement or understanding to the contrary, if any Award, payments or other amounts due to a Grantee (or his or her beneficiaries, as applicable) results in, or causes in any manner, the application of an accelerated or additional tax, fine or penalty under Code Section 409A or otherwise to be imposed, then the Grantee (or his or her beneficiaries, as applicable) shall be solely liable for the payment of, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation or liability to pay or reimburse (either directly or otherwise) the Grantee (or his or her beneficiaries, as applicable) for, any such additional taxes, fines or penalties.
7.5 No Right to Continued Employment or Awards. No employee shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under this Plan or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future Award. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Grantee the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or to be retained as a director of the Company or any Subsidiary. Further, the Company or a Subsidiary may at any time terminate the employment of a Grantee free from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement.
7.6 Construction. The following rules of construction will apply to the Plan: (a) the word “or” is disjunctive but not necessarily exclusive, and (b) words in the singular include the plural, words in the plural include the singular, and words in the neuter gender include the masculine and feminine genders and words in the masculine or feminine gender include the other neuter genders. The headings of sections and subsections are included solely for convenience of reference, and if there is any conflict between such headings and the text of this Plan, the text shall control.
7.7 No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares, or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated.
7.8 Plan Document Controls. This Plan and each Award Agreement constitute the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided that in the event of any inconsistency between this Plan and such Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall control unless otherwise expressly stated in the Award Agreement.

I wrote this on my SparkPage blog this morning. It's a thought process I've come to realize lately. You may not agree with it, that's fine. It's a free country, but it is what I have been through and what has worked for me.
I have to say I've lived on multi-vitamins and supplements for years. Yes, I needed them. Why? I wasn't eating correctly. I thought I was - following the recommended diets and nutrition from such noteworthy sources as the USDA, etc.
I've just recently found out that I've been snowed. Ok, they have good intentions. But, that doesn't make them right.
Since starting to exercise and improve my life and health - after being diagnosed with such things as Parkinsons, asthma, WPW and arthritis, very real and debilitating problems, and at a time when I was really not eating right (though the Gov't thought I was), and learning what a REAL healthy diet is, I've been better. Feeling better, thinking better, living better, more energy and such.
So I am going to be phasing out my supplements. Right now I take a multi vitamin, a B complex (for peri menopause symptoms of depression and irritability and sleeplessness - which isn't from that at all now I have discovered) and an Omega 3/6/9 complex to help stave off the parkinsons issues (as directed by a well meaning friend, also bunk). I am phasing them out since my body is used to them and I don't want to deliver a bad shock to my system.
What was I eating? Lots of carbs and sugars. Hey, 20 years ago I was single, in college, working at the same college, and kept busy hanging with friends at clubs and bars. I loved to dance. So I got some exercise. After some bad relationships I gave into the depression and lethargy and stopped exercising, and got worse. After going through a lot of garbage and wandering around, I finally landed a great relationship and have a great family, though I was rapidly having health issues, sleeplessness, irritability, even angry outbursts, muddy thinking, and depression. As a child I was raised on things like meats, butter, whole milk, (natural animal saturated fats), fresh vegs from our garden, but not a great deal of grains and breads. That's just how we ate in the late 60s early 70s. I was healthy. At least until I was about 12 and things started falling apart, and mal-nutrition came into the picture. But as a late teen I had a better environment. Even with the issues around my family at the time (and they were bad), I was healthy. Yet in my late 20s, 30s and early 40s, I was not.
Last Spring, my then just turned 8 yr old and I were wandering around the street fair in town. I with my cane because my hips couldn't support me, and living in pain. Peri-menopausal for 7 years at this point and giving in to the rocking chair. We ran straight into the Ernie Reyes World Martial Arts folks. Ash was enamored. So we decided to get info and sign her up. The person we talked with, BKJN Allen, told me I could do it, too. Yeah right. Sure. I wondered what marketing-inspired drugs he was on. But, trying to be open minded, I signed up as well. I endured the pain in my hips and left the cane at home, determined to give it a fair try. That was almost a year ago. Ash and I are now green belts, and hubby is a gold belt.
That started me on a downward rolling ball of snow that grew. But a good ball. Not only did I push myself to work through the pain in MA, I learned the value of general health and exercise. I started working out (at the Civic center fitness rooms, where we bought a family membership so Ash could go swimming), walking on the treadmills, doing the weight machines, and eventually the free weights. And I started swimming with Ash. Then taking up running since we have to be able to at black belt testing. And Kickboxing class.
Plus, I started looking at my diet. We didn't eat too badly, I thought. Pretty balanced, not a great deal of sugar and junk food. But we definitely needed work. According to the USDA and other sources, we did ok. But it wasn't good enough. I was still having issues with my health and well being. So I read the recommended reading by KJN David - Body for Life. It has a well thought out eating plan, if a bit outdated. A good balance of proteins and carbs, and eating less amounts more frequently. Ok, that works. Then, recently, another friend posted info on a movie made a few years ago called Fat Head. I found it not only amusing, but very true. Fats (natural, animal and saturated) do NOT cause heart disease. They do not make you "fat" - too many calories make you fat, and sugars and carbs are the main contributors. Basically, go back to how I ate as a kid.
As I thought about it, the times in my life, even a couple of weeks ago when I had way more carbs than fats/proteins, I was sluggish, tired and down. The pollen hasn't helped, but that isn't the main culprit, just an aggravator. When I've had a better diet as when I was a kid, I was happier, healthier, more stable, in less pain, and able to do what I needed to do. As I delve into more research, it is proven more and more and it is more and more obvious. Count calories, keep the carbs way low, eliminate sugars, and I am better.
It makes so much sense why the government and certain doctors, scientists and organizations push the carb diets, with low fat and cholesterol. It's politics. It's money. Tom (who made the Fat Head movie) is right on.
What is really making us fat and heart sick? Sugars and carbs causing insulin imbalances (see the movie, it explains it).
Why do we follow this diet? The gov't and USDA and other "officials" tell us we should.
Why do they tell us that? They are pushed by organizations who give money to our officials - congressmen and such who push legislation through - to do so. Organizations such as the supplement, anti-depression and heart medication people. Organizations such as the big GMO grain people like Monsanto. Other organizations, like the idiots at the CSPI (Center for Science in the Public Interest) have no desire to bring viable and real scientific info to the public eye so we can make healthy choices, they want to be in charge (they are vegetarians - not in and of itself a bad thing, but they are fanatical about it) and make decisions for everyone else. Like Robot, a Doctor Who episode back in the early 70s with Tom Baker and an organization who wanted to tell everyone how to live and what to do, what to wear, what to eat... Control freaks. Idiots. Because they think they are the only ones who know what's best and that the rest of us, as a whole, are stupid and incapable of making decisions for ourselves.
Why do these organizations do this? To promote their products. To keep their organizations alive.
What to the organizations get out of this? Convincing the public that their way and their diets are what is right, so we follow them. Then we get problems like heart disease, diabetes, hormone imbalances, depression... and rely on their products, buy them, to fix our "problems". Medications that do not make it any better, but we are convinced they do.
Why do scientists, doctors and researchers push this? Why do they ignore real scientific findings and facts and only show what these organizations want us to know? Because the government (those who get money from these organizations) funds by grants and such these scientists and researchers. The big, bad corporations who make these "fixing" products (that don't fix) fund the doctors - such as pharmaceutical companies. Without these grants and funds, the researchers and such do not have a job. They politically control what info is brought to the legislative table. I am going to interject here that there are legitimate illnesses and diseases, and legitimate medications to treat them. This is not, I repeat NOT, a bash on medications and doctors.
How do I know this to be true? Look at me. I am 48. I was half dead and in pain, taking meds and supplements and NOT getting better. I changed, and get healthier, happier and stronger every day. I do NOT walk with a cane. 48 years of experience and proof by that experience. I still love the Body for Life books - great advice. However, I do more the higher protein/saturated natural animal fats and low carbs from sources such as vegetables, rather than sugars and starches. I still indulge from time to time in ice cream, a glass of wine, a nice baked potato, and such. Once in a while will not kill you. Unfortunately I still have a problem with preservatives - which, really, isn't a bad thing. I have to use wholesome, real and organic foods. This is a problem? I think not.

UPDATE! This is my old post renewed with a few extra thoughts. This is my original research and work, not what may have been reposted and changed by others.
One of the most important things to have in any endeavor is a positive attitude – emotional health. That doesn’t mean one doesn’t have bad days nor things don’t happen. But it means one strives to be and do their best. I’ve always “preached” balance. These things I have found from experience to be a good foundation to build a goal upon, as they bring self respect, self love, strength and integrity to the table:
1. I associate with good thoughts and feelings. I create them when possible. I gently allow any negative to pass through, and sometimes give it a little push to get it going on its way. You can’t control usually what comes into your mind, but you can control how much you linger on it. If you’re unhappy – find out why. What is the real, base reason for the unhappiness? Is it because of what someone else did or said, or is it that what that person did or said is showing a need-of-change within yourself, a place you don’t want to acknowledge? Something within yourself you don’t like. Delve deep. Don’t discount professional help – it’s a tool that is sometimes needed.
2. I do what makes me happy. As long as I am not harming anyone else, anything I chose to do is ok. Conversely, if it doesn’t feel good, don’t do it! Bust out of the stereotypes and negative limitations. Get positive dreams and pursue them!
3. Religion. I shun it. I believe everyone has their belief system and one should follow it whole heartedly, whether it be a God, Gods, Goddesses, or whatever. Belief is personal. Very personal. Religion itself is a man-made control system filled with rules made by insecure people. Self control is what is needed. When we try to control others we build strife and discontent within ourselves. Find your niche. Here’s what a Baptist Preacher has to say about Religion: Dealth by ReligionScroll down to the Death by Religion series four part series videos.
4. I surround myself with happy, positive, healthy people. If people chose to be evil, hateful, sorrowful (chronically), negative, destructive, or any other such negative behavior, I generally don’t deal with them. I believe we are all basically born good, and learn to be whatever we are. We can also unlearn. We can choose to be happy and content. This is not saying we don’t have bad days, or bad things happen that make us angry or sad at any given time. That is normal. Karma is real. We can get along with each other. We can keep ourselves from being walked on. Contentions, dishonesty, and other such negative emotions cause stress, which leads to bad health; even cancers (see stress below).
5. I know my limitations and who I am. I accept and love myself for who and what I am. Because I am a good person. I do not limit myself with false modesty. “To thine own self be true.” as Shakespeare wrote.
6. We live within our means. We don’t do credit cards and such here in our household. We know what we need and want, and why we need and want. We aren’t extravagant and don’t need to “keep up with the Jones” or any other such rubbish. Budgeting and financial education are so important to living within one’s means, as well as a firm grasp of what is truly important. Things are never important to us.
7. Shun status. We have one old, cheap, but well run car. We don’t have fancy furniture, or a fancy house, or go to fancy restaurants, or buy fancy doodads. We have what is nice, frugal and functional. It suits US. Status living causes stress and stress causes illness. http://womenshealth.about.com/cs/stress/a/stressnurhealth.htm
8. Believe in yourself. Trust yourself. You can’t truly succeed unless you do. Look at yourself, all of yourself, inside and out, in the mirror. All the dark little corners. You are ok. Yes, some things may need adjusting or changing, or outright ousting. Make a list. One thing at a time and be loving and patient with yourself. Follow your heart.
My motto: Why? Because I can.
Physical/Food & Fitness
Previous Post 1: Lose Weight Quick Schemes. Young Skin Schemes! BUNK! RUBBISH. There. That’s my in-a-nutshell thought on these things.
Really – we are bombarded with “FREE TRIAL! BEAUTY SECRETS” and “QUICK WEIGHT LOSS!” And, as anyone who has gotten caught in those schemes knows, they don’t work. There is only one way to keep healthy and in shape (ie: lose weight), and only common sense to keeping “younger” skin.
Most of those free trial skin things will charge you for shipping, then in two weeks charge you a hefty amount for using the “non-free” portion of what they sent. Just TRY to get it cancelled. And most of it won’t work. I’ve taken to following (almost religiously) Jillian Michael’s systems. She ROCKS! http://www.jillianmichaels.com/ Go there. Do what she says.
So how to get in shape? How to lose weight? How to have younger skin?
1. Attitude. YES YOU CAN! The first thing one needs to do to get in shape/lose weight/get healthy is change the way you look at things and your attitude towards eating and exercise. No, you don’t have to go on some starvation diet (NOT HEALTHY!), eat only carrots, or run 15 miles a day. Not all of us can do the same things nor do we have the time. Decide that you really want to change your lifestyle where it means eating and moving.
2. Trash the excuses! I don’t have time. I am too sickly. I am ….. fill in the blank here. There are diets for everyone, and exercises for everyone. Unless you are paraplegic or other such, or a doctor has specifically told you not to, you can do it. You can change your eating habits. You just have to put your mind to it. I have asthma, Parkinson’s and arthritis. I am also 5-8 and wear a size 10-12. I exercise. I eat properly.
3. Don’t look at dieting as “DIETing”. Look at it as changing the way you eat. Common sense. Eat good, nutritious, healthy foods. IGNORE the soda, chips, candy, cake, etc. Get away from sugar, bad fats, bad carbs, processed foods, etc. Cooking is EASY. And not at all if you are trying to lose the pounds. Some of us don’t think about it – get thirsty, pull into a McDoogles or grab a candy bar and a coke at the cash register… no wonder we’re hefty. Hey! They put water in that cooler as well!! I prepare healthy, wholesome stuff at our house and it’s no more expensive than buying that packaged garbage. Sometimes cheaper. Suck it up and get used to it. Pick and chose what you like- I am partial to Italian and other Mediterranean style dishes. All things in moderation – I love a good glass of wine or dark beer. I do not swim in it. I love a good cheesecake or chocolate. Moderation! Get you a copy of the food pyramid and see what of the food groups you like best. I always keep whole grain bread and fresh foods on hand. Whether you prefer meat and potatoes, or are vegan, or something in between, there is a healthy way of eating you can live with. Change your eating habits for LIFE, not just for a time to lose weight. Learn to cook good food and cut out preservatives as much as possible. CARBS and FAT are your friend – but only the GOOD ones. See Jillian’s page for what I’m talking about. A good keyword: Organic! See Key To Good Food below.
4. FADS don’t work. Dieting fads do not work. Sometimes they work for a while, but then once you lose the weight, you go back to your old ways and gain it back again. Tip: If you start to get hungry – eat something non-fat or drink water. Those ads are not there to help you lose weight or get in shape – they are there to make money.
5. Get moving! First, see a doctor to make sure there aren’t any hindrances and to find out what type of exercise is best for you. Walking? Running? Dance? Aerobics? Yoga? There are LOTS of ways to get moving, build muscle and burn fat. Second, find a gym/class or CD you can do at home, or a nice place to walk/run, or whatever, make a schedule and stick to it! I LOVE to sleep in. I make myself get out of bed at 4:30 am and exercise. Sometimes it’s only a toning 20 min exercise, sometimes an hour and a half full bore aerobic and weight training deal. It’s better for your body and your heart. If you want to lose weight – do something aerobic. I recommend dance! Sit on the floor and stretch – it really jump starts your day.
6. DRINK WATER. This is good not only for your health and weight, but for your complexion as well. Want better skin? Common sense. Drink Water. Get real about aging – AGE HAPPENS. Everyone ages differently and covering up your skin might work for a few hours, but may harm your skin in the long run. Water hydrates and flushes out poisons. Lots of fiber helps as it clears out your system. Cut down on fats and sugars. WASH your face – I use soap. Pure, homemade soap. I rinse well. Most people at first look think I am 30, when I am actually 47. Use a clean, light oil moisturizer with sunscreen to protect your face – even if you don’t go out in the sun or wear makeup. I have oily skin so I use Seabreeze sometimes to cut some of the oil, and I use a moisturizer. Stay as clear from toxins as you can – smoke, smog, etc. Keep your hands off your face. Most high priced skin treatments are hype (unless you have severe acne and need a dermatologist to prescribe something) and are 80% fillers and won’t work if you don’t eat right and take care of your skin. I don’t tan. I can’t and I wouldn’t anyway, as I’ve known too many people with melanoma (even some who died and young). Again: ORGANIC. I like to make my own products.
7. Give yourself time. It takes time to change habits – do it gradually. It takes time to lose weight. It takes time to get in shape. It takes time to undo damage to the skin! Start replacing bad foods with good foods. Start exercising a little bit every day. Start washing and protecting your skin. Don’t be hard on yourself if you slip up – just go on. Keep a daily chart of your progress. I don’t own a scale – I go by how I look, how I feel and how my clothes fit! Don’t make outrageous goals that you won’t obtain. One day at a time and a little bit at a time!
Following simple common-sense things like this not only will make you healthier and slimmer, it will make you stronger, more youthful, and save you money as well. See Jillian’s link above – my fav!
And guess what? All of this info is FREE! Here’s some more FREE info: http://www.theloseweightdiet.com/
USDA Food Pyramid: http://mypyramid.gov/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_guide_pyramid
My favs: Jillian Michael’s Circuit routines, Jazzercise, TaeBo & Core Latin Dance CDs; as well as Contra and Scottish Dance. Escape your Shape & Yoga for Your Life (books). A new favorite: ZUMBA! Seriously – if you like Latin dance – it’s easy and fun. A bit tricky learning some of the moves at first, but wow! http://www.zumba.com/
Fav Foods: Fresh – meats (chicken and fish mostly) but spargingly, veggies, fruit, whole grains. Mediterranean and Italian cooking, some Oriental, French, Cajun and British.
Fav Drinks: Water. Coffee. Tea. Cranberry-Pomegranate & Ruby Red Grapefruit juice (lovely mixed together). New Castle Brown Ale and Merlot (not mixed together!)
Previous Post 2:
To answer inquiries, I was addressing the bombardment of “get thin quick” schemes, make-yourself-look younger schemes and that sort of thing, not anyone necessarily in particular. It was also because I have had to relearn my own advice as I spent three-plus years not being allowed to exercise by a cardiologist when it was found I had heart trouble. See, I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love to drink (though I do drink responsibly). As this rather extreme case, I have found those types of people who are not happy with their weight/health situation want a quick “magic wand” pill to make everything instantly better (or a good scapegoat), and not have to do any work such as diet, self control, calorie counting or exercise. And when those schemes don’t work, they blame someone else or find some excuse.
Since writing this post I have found two sites that pretty much fill in the blanks and give more information on what I believe to be true. That is Calorie Counter which has a ton of information and The Lose Weight Diet. Free info, absolutely free with no trials, money down or anything… just free info. They’re a MUST read if you are thinking of getting into some fad diet or supplement or equipment. You have to work for what you want, but that’s what makes it worthwhile, I think.
One of the obstacles I face (other than finding time to eat and exercise with kids around and a hubby on the road most the week) with the good-ole-fashion-guaranteed weight loss plan is the counting calories. I get overwhelmed with having to figure out what and how much to eat! Here’s how I tackled (successfully!) that task:
I made a list of all the food I had in the house with the columns. Then I made a chart with food, servings, amount I usually eat of this (every food! no hiding the chocolate!), amount I like to eat (so I can include the things I don’t have at home right now), and what I should be eating. I then thought about it and added substitute with – such as substituting my Country Crock spread with olive oil, and the information you can get from the label or from here – http://www.acaloriecounter.com/ – which includes: calories, calories from fat, total fat, saturated, transfat, cholesterol, sodium, carbs, fiber, sugars, protein, and benefits (fiber, vitamins, etc).
Then it was easier for me to choose foods to fit into my more healthy diet. I also realized that alot of my cooking was healthy anyway – Mediterranean and oriental styles, just needed to change a few things here and there. It’s also easier for me to see what I am eating and eliminate (substitute) the more less healthy for more healthy stuff and decide on portions, etc. I am horrible at making menus – menus at our house consist of “whatcha want for dinner?” but have learned, for myself, that I can better decide on portions and also eliminated wasted foods. I use the list of healthy foods I found on the site above to substitute on my chart. It’s a bit of effort at first, but really helps in the long run and most of it you only have to do once! We also grow our own veggies in our garden, and have a compost bin.
Another option (or both) is to use an automated system like this – and it’s free! You just have to get past the offers and such, but none are required. http://www.my-calorie-counter.com/calorie_counter.asp
Oh, and while I am at it… if you’re looking for a great basic workout resource – Jillian Michaels. I can’t say enough good about the woman. http://www.jillianmichaels.com/ Also try here: http://www.exude.com/. I have the book and have had it for years – Escape Your Shape – which is a wonderful source of exercises based on your basic body shape. You don’t need a lot (if any) equipment for this. I have the aerobic bar, two 3 lb hand weights, a resistance tube and jump rope and that’s all I need, in addition to the most important equipment: SHOES. Proper shoes. The book is well worth the purchase of $13 (or less at Amazon). Walking just requires good shoes for support. Yoga doesn’t need anything. If you like Latin dance (who doesn’t), try Zumba. It’s relatively easy and fun!
So, if you or someone you know is struggling to lose weight – first have yourself, or them, look within yourself and change the excuses and laziness and habits that keep you unhealthy. Then do it! Stick with it! It may take months or years, but it is worth it. Sure is cheaper than hospital bills!
Go ahead – be gone with it. Get your sexy on. *
KEY TO GOOD FOOD:
Key to good eating (mixture of info I found) :
1. Try to cut out as much ‘junk food’ from your diet as possible. This includes pretty much all chips, candy, soft drinks, etc. Cut out sugar and hydrogenated vegetable fats.
2. Avoid – or at least limit – your intake of refined-flour baked goods (carbs), including non-whole-grain breads, bagels, doughnuts, cupcakes, brownies, cakes, etc. Also, throw out the processed, high-sugar breakfast cereals – stick to whole-grain cereals and oatmeal.
3. Buy a variety of fresh fruits and veggies and begin to include at least 1 or 2 servings with each meal. Also, avoid getting hungry (and overeating) by snacking on fruit or cut-up veggies throughout the day – a single large apple can easily curb hunger.
4. Try to eat a serving of leafy green vegetables at least twice a day. Also, eat a variety of other colorful vegetables as often as possible. Best: Select 3 servings of whole grains (cereal, bread, rice) and at least 5 servings of nonstarchy fruits (berries) and vegetables (leafy greens, broccoli) per day.
5. Use nuts and seeds as healthy, portable snacks you can carry anywhere. Also, they can be used to add flavor and ‘texture’ to many different foods (especially salads).
6. Eat a serving of beans or legumes at least 1-2 times per day. The dozens of different types of beans and peas can be used in hundreds of healthy recipes. Also, consider buying or making bean sprouts – they are considered to be some of the most nutritionally ‘powerful’ foods available!
7. If you buy grain products – including breads, cereals, crackers, pastas, etc. – always choose whole-grain options. Just make sure that ‘whole-grain’ is the first word in the ingredients list and you’ll be fine. Avoid or limit white rice, white pasta, etc.
Best: Select 3 servings of whole grains (cereal, bread, rice) and at least 5 servings of nonstarchy fruits (berries) and vegetables (leafy greens, broccoli) per day.
8. Substitute chicken, legumes, nuts and fish for red meat.
9. When possible, always choose organic foods.
Jillian Michael’s on how our food system is set up to fail and make us fail: Food System Failure
So, then, avoid:
- Processed Foods!
- JUNK FOOD!
- FAST FOOD!
- Preservatives, non-natural additives and hormones
—BHT, BHA, sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite, sodium benzoate, potassium benzoate - Artificial sweeteners (Splenda, Nutrasweet, etc)
- High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)
- Hydrogenated Oils (Crisco, fake butter, etc)
- Processed soy products
- Anything unpronouncable!
Good stuff: REAL organic foods, home grown, locally grown. USDA Certified Organic. READ THOSE LABELS!
Brown rice, spelt, sprouted grain breads, millet, quinoa, sweet potatoes
Almost all Fruits and Vegetables (esp non-starchy)
Fats (in moderation!):
- Good: Butter, eggs (yolks), nuts, olive oil, coconut oil – natural unprocessed fats, In Moderation!
- Bad: Hydrogenated oils, canola, margarine, substitute butters, etc.

Metal prints are waterproof and scratch-resistant and are avilable
in a satin or glossy finish.
The satin finish gives much the same effect that a photograph
behind non-glare glass does. The glossy finish is highly reflective
which makes the colors pop and gives an almost three-dimensional effect, but in
direct light will be somewhat mirror-like with the surroundings.
Each metal print has a metal holder on the back that
serves as the hanger to put it on the wall. The advantages are that you
do not have the additional expense of matting and framing; it gives you
more area for the photo itself; and the overall weight is perhaps 1/3 of
the matted and framed traditional print. You might compare a regular TV
with a flat screen TV, the metal print being more like the latter.

Where to invest to recover from the major losses in our retirement plans since 2008? The emerging markets, if you can sleep at night, that is. The emerging markets aren’t as crazy risky as they used to be, but they are still higher beta assets than any developed market security. That means a 10% decline in the S&P 500 means around a 15% decline or more for emerging market stocks. However, the long term growth story of the big emerging markets in particular remains in tact. Despite the U.S. downgrade and European sovereign debt crisis, Brazil, Russia, India and China are set to be the drivers of global growth.

BANDUNG, - Satuan Polisi Pamong Praja (Satpol PP) akan membawa para pelanggar Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat (PPKM) Darurat ke Sidang Tindak Pidana Ringan (Tipiring) on the street.
Hal itu sesuai aturan PPKM Darurat, Perwal Kota Bandung dan Perda Provinsi Jawa Barat nomor 5 tahun 2021 tentang Perubahan Atas Perda Jabar nomor 13 tahun 2018 tentang Penyelenggaraan, Ketentraman, Ketertiban Umum, dan Perlindungan Maayarakat.
Sidang Tipiring ini melibatkan Kejaksaan dan Pengadilan Negeri. Setiap pelanggar akan langsung di sidang di lokasi pelanggaran. Tujuannya untuk menimbulkan efek jera.
Wakil Wali Kota Bandung, Yana Mulyana mengatakan, inti pelaksanaan PPKM Darurat adalah mengurangi mobilitas warga sehingga harus dilaksanakan penegakan hukum lewat Tipiring on the street.
Berdasarkan indikator dan metode pengukuran yang dilakukan Pemkot Bandung melalui metode Facebook mobility, Google Traffic, dan Night Light NASA, baru terjadi pengurangan minus 15 persen mobilitas warga.
"Kelihatannya dengan sisa waktu sampai tanggal 20 Juli, dan tren peningkatan penyebaran Covid-19 masih tinggi, ini upaya kita bagaimana menekan penyebaran lewat oengurangan mobilitas warga," katanya usai Apel Persiapan Sidang on the street di Metro Indah Mall, Kota Bandung, Kamis 8 Juli 2021.
Yana berharap, sidang Tipiring on the street ini akan terus bergerak. Tujuannya menekan penyebaran mobilitas.
"Mudah-mudahan ujungnya adalah mengurangi mobilitas warga dan mengurangi penyebaran virus Covid-19. Ini kita uji coba, dengan hakim secara virtual. Insyaallah kita akan terus melakukan sidang on the street ini," ucapnya.
"Agar ini betul-betul mengurangi bentuk mobilitas dan kegiatan warga berdasarkan regulasi Perwal mau pun PPKM Darurat, sehingga bidang-bidang non critical dan esensial memang harus ditutup," lanjutnya.
Sementara itu, Kepala Kejaksaan Negeri Kota Bandung, Iwa Suwia Pribawa mengatakan pada pelaksanaan Sidang Tipiring on the street ini penyidikannya dilakukan oleh Penyidik Pegawai Negeri Sipil (PPNS) Satpol PP dari Provinsi Jawa Barat dan Kota Bandung.
"Kalau nanti dianggap kurang, Satpol PP akan berkoordinasi dengan penyidik Polri untuk ikut melakukan penyidikan terhadap Perda yang akan diterapkan tersebut, itu prosesnya," katanya.
"Kemudian nanti PPNS akan mengajukan berkas perkara kepada hakim yang menyidangkan. Kami hanya eksekutor, pelaksana putusan hakim," lanjutnya.
Terkait Hakim yang hadir secara virtual, Iwa menjelaskan karena saat pandemi Covid-19 serba online, sebelumnya Sidang pengadilan terhadap tindak pidana umum pun telah menerapkan secara online.
"Tapi dalam hal-hal tertentu sidang akan digelar di ruang sidang. Untuk barang bukti (dalam persidangan), kalau tindak pidana ringan ini biasanya KTP, kemudian Surat Izin Usaha bagi pengusaha yang tidak mematuhi PPKM Darurat dalam Perda 5 tahun 2021," katanya.
"Nanti akan dievaluasi (jika diputuskan mencabut izin usaha), yang punya wewenang nanti Pemda, Satpol PP. Kami hanya melaksanakan apa yang terjadi sekarang, apa yang ditemukan pelanggaran sekarang," ucap Iwa.

I have never been one of those people who loves to spend time outside, but when I purchased a home, I wanted a gorgeous garden. I didn't want to risk the value of my property dwindling because of issues with a few simple details, so I focused on feeding my plants, improving their watering schedule, and avoiding some of the pests that were damaging my friends' and neighbors' lawns. If you have ever wondered how to create gardens that grow without a lot of care or long, lush, lawns, this blog is for you. Read more about home and garden topics here.

Men’s clinic in Piet Plessis Penis enlargement international Men’s Clinic. Men’s Clinic International is a South African-based company that has expertise in Male Sexual Health problems & Penis Development. We use natural herbs to cure weak erection, early ejaculation, low libido, fertility & sperm count, and penis enlargement.
Visiting a men’s clinic room can be an unpleasant experience. It’s bad enough that you’re sick or injured, but emergency rooms can be crowded and stressful. Furthermore, if your injury isn’t life-threatening, there’s no telling when a doctor will be able to see you. Fortunately, there is an alternative to the ER by visiting a walk-in clinic instead. Urgent care centers are now one of the most important means by which patients receive the care they need. Here are some reasons you can benefit from visiting the men’s medical clinic.
Urgent care centers have the staff with the expertise required to handle any number of conditions. Walk-in men’s clinic doctors are trained in emergency care but are skilled at providing several different kinds of services. Whether you need an appointment in a hurry for a quick checkup or treatment for a fracture, you can count on a walk-in clinic to help you with whatever you need.
Walk-in men’s clinics usually allow you more space than in an emergency room. While patients who visit them require urgent care, they don’t need the emergency services one can expect in an ER. Therefore, the experience is usually less cramped and uncomfortable than your typical emergency room. Furthermore, every visit to a walk-in facility means less strain is being put on overcrowded ERs, which is of tremendous help to the people who need care the most.
The men and women who work at men’s clinics are among the most skilled and hardworking people in the health care industry. Many of the doctors, nurses, and technicians you’ll encounter in urgent care are the same skilled professionals who’ve worked in hospitals and clinics throughout the country, so you know you’re getting the highest-quality treatment available.
When you’re heading to the ER with an emergency, the expense that’s required to receive the treatment you need is the least of your worries. Sadly, that means you’ll be paying a premium for the care you’ll receive. If you’re in a less desperate condition, you can take advantage of the fact that you don’t need ER services, which are some of the most expensive treatments in the health care industry.
Perhaps the most common complaint of ER patients is the time it takes to see a doctor. Patients who visit walk-in clinics can expect to wait for far less than their ER counterparts. They’ll usually be treated more quickly as well.
If you’re in need of medical attention, visit the professionals at Lanier Urgent Care. We’re one of the only walk-in men’s clinics open Saturdays at all our branches in South Africa, and we’re committed to providing you with the care you need. Visit us or give us a call on 0677682373 today!
Weak Erection (also known as impotence or erectile dysfunction) is not a disease, but a secondary condition brought on by other, primary causes. It is a side effect, a symptom of something else. Don’t become ashamed to come for help. At the men’s clinic special we help people with such problems.
For some men, depression can accompany the condition of erectile dysfunction (ED). It is common for men with ED to feel angry, frustrated, sad, unsure of themselves, or even less “manly.” Such feelings may lead to a lack of self-esteem and, in severe cases, to depression.
Depression that accompanies ED is treatable. The first step in addressing your concerns about ED-related depression is to be honest with yourself, your partner, and your doctor. After depression has been brought out into the open, coping with it will be easier and less stressful.
Because there are a variety of causes for ED, there are several different tests your doctor may use to diagnose the condition and determine its cause. Only after the cause of ED is determined can it be effectively treated.
Before ordering any tests, your doctor will review your medical history and perform a thorough physical examination. The doctor will also “interview” you about your personal and sexual history. Some of these questions will be very personal and may feel intrusive. However, it is important that you answer these questions honestly. The questions asked may include:
The doctor may also wish to interview your sexual partner since your partner may be able to offer in sight into the underlying causes.
After your physical examination and discussion, your doctor may then order any one of the following tests to further diagnose your condition:
Before you are given any of these tests, your doctor will explain what is involved. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask your doctor.
The type of medical specialist who treats ED will depend on the cause of the problem. Based on your family’s medical history, as well as your own medical history and current health, your doctor may treat you with oral medications (Viagra®, Levitra®, Cialis®).
If these options fail, you may be referred to a urologist who can assist with other non-surgical options such as vacuum device or injections or surgical treatment options. If needed, your doctor may also refer you to a psychologist specializing in sexual dysfunction.
ED can be treated in many ways, including:
Each type has its own pros and cons. Discuss your options with your doctor to determine the best treatment for you.
The first step to treating ED is to find the underlying cause. Then the appropriate treatment can begin. There are a number of non-surgical and surgical options that can help a man regain normal sexual function.

Education and communication
Education about sex, sexual behaviors, and sexual responses may help a man overcome his anxieties about sexual dysfunction.
Talking honestly with your partner about your needs and concerns may also help to overcome many barriers to healthy sex life.
Medications such as sildenafil (Viagra®), vardenafil (Levitra®), or tadalafil (Cialis®) may help improve sexual function in men by increasing blood flow to the penis. Men who are on medicines that contain nitrates such as nitroglycerine should not take oral ED medications. The combination of nitrates and these specific medications can cause low blood pressure (hypotension).
The most common side effects of these medications are indigestion, nasal congestion, flushing, headaches, and a temporary visual disturbance.
Premature ejaculation is simply defined as “ejaculation occurring before the individual wishes it”. The condition can be temporary in inexperienced men, adolescents, and men who are too highly excited. This includes men who have abstained from sex for a long time. At Men’s clinic special, we help you last in bed so that your wife can also take you as a full husband but not an impotent one. The Hite Report on Male Sexuality surveyed over seven thousand men and found that 21% ejaculated within 50-60 seconds. Another 62% ejaculated within 1-5 minutes. Only 1 in 6 men lasted over 5 minutes and 1 in 10 over 10 minutes.
Low libido can loosely be defined as a lack of sexual desire. Low sex drive for an individual is a very personal issue and depends on many variables including age. It is the second most common sexual dysfunction in men after premature ejaculation. A recent issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association reported this. The loss of sexual appetite is also very difficult for men to discuss.
Penis enlargement is the expansion or elongation of a male sexual reproductive organ or manhood.
At Men Clinics international we pride ourselves on our over 2 decades of having perfected the craft of excellence in side effects free permanent Manhood Expansion and elongation ordinarily referred to as Penis Enlargement.
Penis enlargement is any technique aimed to increase the size of a human penis. Some methods aim to increase total length, others the shaft’s girth, and yet others the glans size. Techniques include pills, hormones, massage, stretching, inflation, incision, injections, and implants. While some techniques are hoaxes, others may be somewhat effective, perhaps at risk of complications.

Penis Enlargement is not always about sexual satisfaction as a small and short penis may harm one’s self-esteem amongst one’s peers, especially in public places where men share bathrooms such as sports clubs, communal gyms, urinals in public toilets, massage parlors, public swimming pools and other communal institutions that may require one to share bathing and dressing facilities.
The cost for Men’s Health Clinic depends on the type of condition(s) you have. We can determine the actual cost after an initial consultation with you. Do give us a call today for an appointment.
Low sperm count means that the fluid (semen) you ejaculate during an orgasm contains fewer sperms than normal.
Having a low sperm count decreases the odds that one of your sperm will fertilize your partner’s egg, resulting in pregnancy. Nonetheless, many men who have low sperm count are still able to father a child

Psychostick, the humorcore metal band from Tempe, AZ embarked on their “Santa’s an Asshole” tour today kicking off tonight in Peoria, IL. Known for their comedic lyrics and serious sound, the band has been plugging away on the music scene for nearly fifteen years now. From their timeless classic “Beer!” to their newer songs “Because Boobs“, they exude an atmosphere of fun, eccentric, controlled chaos at their shows. Encouraging their fans to dress in costume at their gigs leads to an often crazy surrealistic scene as people dressed as reindeer, comic figures, and even Angry Birds characters moshing about in the pit, where the motto is “Who says you can’t laugh while you pit?” Rawrb (Rob Kersey), the oft spiked hat wearing frontman of the group spoke with me on the phone today from Illinois for a bit to talk about all things in the crazy world of Pyscohstick, from the latest release of “Space Vampires VS Zombie Dinosaurs in 3-D” to their upcoming holiday tour, and of course, tacos.

NEHS Chapter members, both Advisors and students alike, do amazing work each year, applying their skills and knowledge, improving the loves of others as well as deepening their own understanding and appreciation of the English language arts. However, at times, NEHS Chapters stumble. Recently, we received a note from a Florida chapter whose school was destroyed by Hurricane Michael; the Advisor was concerned about meeting Chapter expectations of paying affiliation fees and inducting new members when everything in their lives was turned upside down. We, of course, told the Advisor not to worry about any aspect of NEHS at this time and to focus on recovery.
The note received, however, prompted some thinking on the part of NEHS leadership about making sure Chapters know we are here to support you; we simply need to be made aware of your circumstances. While we try to monitor events that may be affecting Chapters, we don’t necessarily know which specific schools might have been impacted by hurricanes, tornadoes, or wild fires. When major tragedies like the schooling in Parkland, FL, occur, we try to respond quickly and respectfully, assuring the devastated Chapters that NEHS is certainly not the most important element of healing and getting school life back to “normal,” if that’s even possible. On a much less serious note, sometimes a shift in Advisor or a change in administration causes a Chapter to miss sending a fee or recording new members; the result is a shift to “inactive” status, meaning members are not eligible for scholarships, awards, or grants.
If your chapter or school is impacted negatively, for whatever reason, requiring some flexibility on our part to support you and your members, please do not hesitate to contact us for help. We are able to extend deadlines, amend chapter information as needed, or temporarily waive fees. Contact Office Manager Karen Larsen or NEHS Director Dave Wendelin for assistance.

Recently, I was having lunch with a friend who practices IP law in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He mentioned, to my surprise, that Argentina was not a member of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). This stunned me, because Argentina is a large sophisticated country, and I assumed they would be a part of the PCT, because nearly every country in the world is a part of the PCT.

A large part of the “international patent system” has to do with the PCT. The PCT makes it easier for people and entities to seek coverage for their inventions in multiple countries at the same time. As of December 8, 2016, there are 151 PCT Contracting States. So, how many countries are not a part of the PCT?
For purposes of this post I am using the list of United Nations member states. According to that list, the United Nations has 193 Member States, which means there are forty-two non-PCT states. Some of these countries make sense, Democratic People’s Republic of Congo, some make no sense, Argentina. Who are these non-contracting states, and what are their economies like?
The Non-Contracting States
As of January 12, 2017, there are forty-two countries which have not signed on to the PCT. These countries range from the small to the surprisingly large. Many of the countries do not have a ton of economic activity, and conversely a few have considerable economic activity.
Using data from the World Bank, the chart above plots all forty-two of the Non-PCT countries in the world by population in millions along the x-axis, and gross domestic product (GDP) in billions along the y-axis. I’ve called out some interesting outliers on this chart. Argentina, my friend’s home country, has the largest economy with a GDP of 581 billion to the country’s population of 43.4 million. Conversely, Pakistan is the most populous nation of the group at 271 million, but only has a GDP of 188.9 billion.
Only five of the countries have a GDP over 100 billion (Argentina, Bangladesh, Iraq, Pakistan, and Venezuela), and only five of the countries have a population over 50 million (Bangladesh, Congo, Ethiopia, Myanmar, and Pakistan). The full list of countries is presented below.
What the Future Holds
Of the countries listed, Argentina seems like the most likely candidate to join the PCT. In fact, my friend told me Argentina plans to join the PCT soon. The rest of the countries, I am not so sure. Negotiating an international treaty is cost intensive in both time and money. Frankly, many of these countries have much more important issues to contend with than patent rights.

Kauvery Hospital Vadapalani Launches India’s First ‘Cardiac Shock Team’ for Rapid Life-Saving Response
Chennai, September 26, 2024: Kauvery Hospital Vadapalani is proud to announce the launch of India’s first integrated Cardiac Shock Team, setting a new benchmark in advanced cardiac care. This innovative team is designed to provide rapid, coordinated intervention for patients suffering from cardiac arrest/ cardiac failure following acute cardiac dysfunction aiming to prevent the critical delays in treatment that can often lead to fatal outcomes.
Accessible through a dedicated helpline, the Cardiac Shock Team streamlines care by acting as a single point of contact for patients, caregivers, and families. By eliminating the need to navigate multiple departments, the team makes sure that life-saving interventions are administered without delay, delivering seamless care during the most critical moments.
At the heart of this initiative is the provision of quaternary care—a highly specialized level of medical care that extends beyond traditional tertiary services. Quaternary care includes advanced treatments such as rare and complex procedures, and specialized care in areas like cardiac surgery, and transplantation. This level of care, offered at select centers like Kauvery Hospital, integrates Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS) systems to stabilize patients in critical condition and is available 24/7.
The Cardiac Shock Team comprises a multidisciplinary group of experts, including cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, and intensivists, who collaborate to provide the best possible treatment in life-threatening situations. This coordinated approach is crucial, as untreated cardiac shock significantly increases the risk of mortality.
The launch of the Cardiac Shock Team was officiated by Thiru Ma Subramanian, Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Tamil Nadu, with special guests Prof. S. Thanikachalam, Chairman and Director, Cardiac Care Center, SRMC & RI, and Dr. Aravindan Selvaraj, Co-founder and Executive Director of Kauvery Group of Hospitals.
Speaking at the event, Prof. S. Thanikachalam highlighted the critical importance of the service saying, “Cardiac shock is a medical emergency that requires immediate, coordinated care. The Cardiac Shock Team at Kauvery Hospital ensures that no time is wasted in delivering the right intervention, ultimately saving countless lives.”
Dr. Aravindan Selvaraj, Co founder and Executive director , Kauvery Group of Hospitals. added, “With the introduction of the Cardiac Shock Team, we are redefining how cardiac emergencies, most critical cardiac patients are managed. Our dedicated helpline offers immediate access to expert care so that patients receive timely, life-saving interventions. This initiative establishes a new standard in cardiac care and will undoubtedly reduce mortality rates from cardiac arrest.”
Building on international best practices, Kauvery Hospital’s Shock Team model integrates advanced technologies and specialized skills to handle complex cases, such as those requiring mechanical circulatory support systems like ECMO, Impella and LVAD devices. These interventions support patients as they recover or to prepare for procedures like transplants, offering a lifeline for the most critical cases.
As a next step Inspired by the success of National cardiogenic shock initiative ( NSCI) in USA
Kauvery Hospital Vadapalani will commission a Cardiac Shock Team a first-of-its-kind initiative in India. Based on international protocols, the team will consist of a minimum of three doctors on call, including a cardio vascular surgeon, a cardiologist, and a cardiac anesthetist, supported by a physician assistant trained in echocardiography and perfusion.
The Shock Team will coordinate closely with the emergency response teams at Kauvery group of hospitals and other referral centers under a Shock Alert protocol. Once a Shock Alert is activated, all stakeholders, including the patient’s primary cardiologist, will collaborate via a dedicated online group, ensuring real-time communication and decision-making throughout the patient’s treatment until discharge.
A dedicated physician will be guiding the patient’s care and working closely with the Shock Team to determine the most effective interventions, including MCS placement at the referral center or transfer to Kauvery Vadapalani for specialized treatment in the newly established Shock ICU.
Kauvery Hospital remains at the forefront of emergency medical services, consistently introducing advanced care models and life-saving technologies that set the standard for excellence in patient outcomes.

I’ve been cleaning up and sorting files and posts and things today. It’s Lughnassadh this week and I do a thorough backup of my system every sabbat, so that will happen later too.
It’s the last day of July, which means that tomorrow is the first day of August! If you haven’t signed up for the August Writing project yet, you still have time. For once I’m not actively engaged in contract writing, so I won’t be scrambling to try to fit not-work-writing into the schedule as I have done in previous years, breaking my brain and any chance of relaxation I had thereby. Last year I wrote a series of fairy tale-based poetry for half the month before things got too crazy. I had no idea what to write this summer, until as I was cleaning out files I found an idea fragment I’d typed out quickly and forgotten. It’s literally six words and a question mark. I think I’ll give it a try, which means sitting down later today and sketching out a schedule and breaking the writing down into thirty-ish parts, because I’d like to actually write the whole thing during the month for the sake of balance and completeness. It won’t be long, only a few thousand words, so that won’t be an issue. I just want to see if the idea will work.

As a brief girl, I’m quite grateful for my folding step ladder on a daily basis. Perhaps that’s the reason I have begun noticing an increasing number of ladders used in interiors. Maybe not your carpenter’s shed ladder, but the salvaged vintage variety or the custom-built architectural kind. Let us analyze the trend.
Repurposed ladders do not have to stay vertical to be useful. Hang a ladder to make a clever pot rack.
This vintage ladder is a perfect display alternative for grain-sack linens. The combo, in context with the other classic marketplace finds throughout the space, conjure up a casual and comfy yet tastefully accented shabby chic/country feel.
Shallow ladders are fantastic for holding linens or towels, but somewhat deeper step ladders can become display areas for small curio collections such as these vintage soda bottles with spring buds. Simply lovely.
And why not turn the ladders into makeshift leaning bookshelves? I have seen this style recreated by leading retailers, so locate the originals at your local antiques marketplace and beat them to the punch to get much cheaper.
Dwelling on Design, Deborah Derocher
This towel holder in a modern toilet is a small ladder with a wood finish to coordinate with the vanity. Subtle and elegant.
Chr DAUER Architects
Let’s not forget that the major purpose of a ladders would be to secure you you to greater areas. Here’s a gorgeous example of a custom sliding ladder resulting in a large storage nook.
This enjoyable ladder in a kid’s room can be utilized to reach high storage compartments while adding extra display space for toys and stuffed animals. I would just make sure you have an older, responsible child inhabiting this room because smaller children can be accident prone, as most of us know.
Who doesn’t dream of a itchen with unlimited storage and shelves which you can really attain? The built-in sliding ladder looks phenomonal and helps optimize storage.
Ian Moore Architects
Here’s a really slick black-on-black ladder and bookshelves. The black furniture with white walls and floor complete this urban minimalist look. Quite racy.
Tanner Vine – 2Go Custom Kitchens Inc
And here’s a more subtle variant of a ladder to get tall bookshelves that I picture more people can view in our own homes. Such well styled white bookshelves with contrasting dark timber sliding ladder is a high-class conventional look.
Charlie & Co.. Design, Ltd
I have demonstrated this picture before, but I still admire just how much glamour the ladder and chandeliers add to this mudroom. This combo would seem equally persuasive in a walk-in room.
Don’t forget that sometimes we locate ladders which are so beat up, it’s better not to bring them indoors. I do like the concept of using them as foundation to get a climbing garden, though. Waste not, want not.

Vila Ipiranga, no Fonseca, foi a primeira comunidade do país a receber a visita de agentes sanitários para a higienização das ruas e vielas contra o novo coronavírus.
A Companhia de Limpeza Urbana de Niterói (Clin) escalou 40 profissionais que atuaram na ação em conjunto com os 25 agentes de sanitização da empresa contratada pela Prefeitura de Niterói.
O prefeito Rodrigo Neves também anunciou a distribuição de 80 mil kits com produtos como sabão líquido, álcool, água sanitária e sabão em pó para as 220 mil pessoas atendidas pelo Programa Médico de Família em todas as comunidades de Niterói.
Na Vila Ipiranga, enquanto os agentes contratados percorriam as ruas e vielas da comunidade, 40 profissionais e dois caminhões-pipa da Clin, com 8 mil litros cada um, espalhavam a substância diluída em água pelas vias da comunidade e algumas ruas do entorno. O produto quaternário de amônia de quinta geração, utilizado pelas equipes, é o mesmo usado pela China para desinfecção das ruas daquele país.
O prefeito de Niterói, Rodrigo Neves, falou sobre o trabalho preventivo na Vila Ipiranga e anunciou que o Morro do Estado e o Preventório também receberão o serviço nas próximas semanas. Juntas, as três comunidades concentram perto de metade da população da classes média baixa e baixa.
“A Vila Ipiranga é a maior comunidade da Região Norte de Niterói. Ela, o Morro do Estado e o Preventório concentram mais da metade da população que vive em comunidades na cidade. Esse trabalho é importante porque vai possibilitar a sanitização do ambiente externo da comunidade, as ruas, as vielas. Isso ajuda muito no combate ao coronavírus. O objetivo é neutralizar esse espaço por algumas semanas para que não haja a propagação do vírus”.
Distribuição de 80 mil kits – O prefeito Rodrigo Neves destacou ainda que a Prefeitura de Niterói vai distribuir 80 mil kits de limpeza para comunidades por meio do Programa Médico de Família. Cada kit contém sabão em pó, álcool gel, água sanitária e sabão líquido.
O secretário municipal de Saúde, Rodrigo Oliveira, explicou que esse trabalho de sanitização também será realizado nos espaços das unidades de urgência que vão atender pacientes com sintomas respiratórios.
“Além disso, estamos investindo para preparar a nossa rede de saúde. Nas nossas quatro unidades de urgência, o paciente com sintoma respiratório entra por um lugar, e os demais pacientes por outro. E estamos em um forte processo de expansão de leitos semi-intensivos para que a gente consiga acolher a população se houver um aumento dos casos graves da cidade”.
Ação começou em Icaraí – O trabalho de sanitização das ruas de Niterói começou na segunda-feira (23) pelas principais ruas de Icaraí. Cerca de 12 profissionais reforçaram a ação que visa a eliminar a proliferação do novo coronavírus em ambientes comuns da cidade. Utilizando equipamentos de proteção individual, os agentes percorreram as vias principais e transversais aplicando o produto nas calçadas, fachadas de prédios, praças, bancos e pontos de ônibus.
A substância age como uma película que mata os micro-organismos que estão no local (vírus, bactérias, fungos e ácaros) e forma uma camada protetora que mantém a superfície desinfetada por até seis meses, dependendo da circulação de pessoas.
O prefeito Rodrigo Neves destacou o trabalho de combate ao vírus que vem sendo feito na cidade e reforçou a importância da quarenta e do isolamento social.
“Implementamos uma tecnologia que foi muito eficaz nas cidades chinesas que enfrentaram a epidemia. Estamos lutando com todas as forças contra esse vírus e já vemos os resultados. Em Niterói, o aumento dos casos tem sido com menos força do que em cidades vizinhas, mas para que continuemos avançando, é fundamental que as pessoas sigam as recomendações e permaneçam nas suas casas. Só com esforço coletivo vamos eliminar esse vírus”, destacou o prefeito.
O bairro de Icaraí foi o primeiro local a receber a sanitização em Niterói por ser a região da cidade com o maior número de casos suspeitos de Covid-19 até o momento e também o local com concentração mais elevada de moradores com idades a partir de 60 anos. O serviço de sanitização será utilizado também nas principais vias da cidade, como as avenidas Roberto Silveira, em Icaraí, Amaral Peixoto, no Centro, Estrada Francisco da Cruz Nunes, na Região Oceânica, e Benjamin Constant, no Barreto, entre outras.

The Ancient Romans Portfolio
Review of the exhibition The Ancient Romans Portfolio on Tribeart by Donato Faruolo, Palermo, 2010
If showing documentaries or truths is the best virtue of the photography, then Sergio Zavattieri is not a good photographer. After Naturalia and UFO sights, now the hidden enigma in his “The Ancient Romans Portfolio”is more exciting. This work production will be exhibit till to the 24th May in Palermo in the Zelle Arte Contemporanea Gallery.
What connects an individual to his own portrait? According to a dictionary definition, it is a simply similarity relationship. The questions made by the ancient Roman bursts pictures, shown in this place, are more complicated at all. Zeus, trying to portray Elena, needed “to collect” from the most beautiful Crotone five virgins. The need was to reproduce a far subject image (physically, temporally and conceptually) from the material base and, in order to make it, he used the ideal, the concept ways, to arrive to what in semiotics it is configured as an icon. The Zeus character becomes the symbol of a way to understand the relationship between man and image in the Greek culture. What happen when the distance from subject to brace is reduced? What happen if the image needs to repeat an immanence, rather than to throw back to other transcendent? The Roman pragmatism answers through the voice of Pliny the Elder, with Brutades, the ceramist of Sicione, who wanted to give to his daughter an eternal image of her lover going to the war. He traced the shadow on the wall to make a low relief portrait. In order to compose the image, it needed a trace, a dropped mark from a presence who imperils its disappearance. It needed an indicative sign. The ideal plane becomes to wear out like the Veronica veil till it goes to lay down on the subject face and gets its features. There is not the unchangeable destiny yet, but the desperate destiny of the individual. It is tried to be faced to that through the desperate fetish ineffectiveness. The project is completed with the coming of the photography, when the sign compounds the image, through a strategic alliance with the rules of a chemical life world. The image does not connect to the subject through a similarity relationship yet, but it is now substituted by that and repeats the presence without considering the time, and it acts as underwriter of an existence. A large preamble, this is a short circuit: a weak light, an old stool and a wood desk on which stands the portfolio.
We can touch the Zavattieri pictures as we do with the cyanotypes of an old photographic archive of archeological founds in the XIX century. However, in their shady printing, the bursts expressions of the ancient Romans are cured with peculiar attention going over the archive needs or the carved stone piece. There were not any life form to be remarked if the portrayed object was dead like a funeral monument – whom unique life is a mineral one, or even archeological one. Still the glances seem go right from the subject to the camera as in a photographic portrait compounded with a contemporary subject and a photographer. The history and the time collapse and once more the photography becomes the witness, but only of the reasonableness of the doubt.

Perhaps the question of all those who ever we have completed our studies either undergraduate or postgraduate (master’s degrees, majors, doctorates, graduates, etc.)and we want to get our first experience, is how much worth what I do? Before knowing how to do it, must take into account some elements previously analyzed to define what we want at a professional level: – do want to work in a company or have a freelance job? – what kind of work I would like and I would not play? – what are my major strengths professionally? – where can I start my search? – to what kind of company I would like to come? – can’t qualities highlight on a personal level? The answers to these questions will provide a panorama that will serve to know us better and know what we can offer as professionals in this new instance of our life. With this information, discuss the different variables that will help us to determine how much We may charge for what we do: research the market: is the best way to inform us about the approximate salary that is offered in our profession or activity and can be done in a simple way; Internet, searching in forums and discussions of various job portals, in classified ads that appear in the newspaper, as well as with friends or acquaintances who have a similar training or who work in the company of our interest. In recent months, Jane Fraser has been very successful. Identify opportunities for growth: very common is that at the beginning we will reject some offers because they do not comply with our wage demands. It is important to recognize those opportunities that will provide us with not only the remuneration we want but learning. The key is to not let us impress by a salary that might take us to work for estudiantesrecien graduates without challenges and which contribute nothing to our career. Be flexible and enthusiastic: one of constant failures of the graduates, according to persons performing the selection processes in enterprises is some require too and show little enthusiasm for the position and the company.
In addition, some believe that they have acquired sufficient knowledge and show indifference in the explanations are given.Leveraging practices: one of the best ways to know how much charge for what we do is in the moment of professional practice. This first experience gives us the background to know what is what is done in our area of interest, and how much to charge people with little or much experience. Investigate the form of recruitment: with the labor flexibilization various forms have been created for you link to employees, it must have in mind what types of contract exist in our employment regime for knowing how to negotiate their work, either as an independent or as a company worker..

Boo Day Boozing
Halloween is on a Sunday this year, and those have to work on Monday probably did their partying on Saturday (or get started early on Sunday). What's a Sunday without brunch, and while you may normally sip mimosas, today, try drinking on-theme. Regular Bloody Marys are a bit harsh for some, but Belvedere's Bloody Mary Martini is easier on the palate. Instead of the thick, peppery concoction we're used to, this drink consists of muddled cherry tomatoes, Belvedere Citrus Vodka, simple syrup and Tobasco (exact recipe & instructions on Belvedere.com). That also means you're more likely to consume it more quickly, so to test your soberness try saying this cocktail's name five times in front of a mirror. If you make it all the way through, you're good. Kidding. Enjoy responsibly.

Минимизировать потери можно с помощью самоограничений. Например, каждый геймер должен решить для себя, какую сумму он готов потерять в случае неудачи и никогда не выходить за ее рамки. Также не стоит играть на последние деньги или заходить в казино в нетрезвом виде. По мнению опытных пользователей, не рекомендуется отыгрываться в случае крупных потерь. Это приводит к еще большему проигрышу.
Как пополнить счет в Champion casino

- Виза и МастерКард;
- МИР и Маэстро;
- ВебМани и Биткоины;
- Эфириум и пр.
Пополнение счета производится без взимания комиссии со стороны казино. Если валюта игрового и личного счетов не совпадают, производится автоматическая конвертация. За эту операцию может браться плата в соответствии с правилами выбранного сервиса. Игрок не имеет права использовать карты, счета или электронные кошельки третьих лиц. Если подобное произойдет, аккаунт и депозит пользователя будут заблокированы. Минимальная сумма пополнения зависит от выбранной системы платежей, но не может быть менее 500 рублей или эквивалента в других валютах.
Вывод выигрыша из казино
Для того чтобы получить выигрыши, необходимо воспользоваться сервисом, посредством которого хотя бы один раз производилось пополнение счета. Перед тем, как оставить заявку на вывод, необходимо убедиться, что все бонусы отыграны иначе операция будет невозможна. При выводе средств из Чемпион казино официальный сайт следует посетить напрямую или используя зеркало, если по каким-либо причинам доступ к ресурсу окажется закрыт.
Заявка на получение денег оставляется в личном кабинете. При этом необходимо учитывать, что в игорном доме предусмотрены лимиты. Например, минимальная сумма вывода составляет 1 000 рублей. Максимальная – 250 000 рублей в сутки при условии, что правилами выбранной платежной системы разрешены крупные транзакции. Защита финансовых операций находится на высоком уровне, поэтому волноваться за сохранность денежных средств не надо.

В клубе Чемпион дополнительный презент игроки могут получить по промокоду. Он представляет собой особое сочетание символов, которое вводится в специальное поле при регистрации или в профиле.

Бонусы полученные по промо коду также должны быть отыграны. Узнать бонусный код пользователи могут из рассылки на электронную почту или через сайты партнеров казино.
В онлайн-казино Чемпион предлагается крупный приветственный бонус. Однако на подарки могут рассчитывать не только новые игроки, только что прошедшие регистрацию. Постоянные пользователи автоматически зачисляются для участия в программе лояльности. Она предполагает начисление бонусов за совершение ставок в слотах. По программе лояльности игроки могут рассчитывать на денежные подарки, фриспины и начисление кешбека.

Мастер | 20 | God of Wild Sea | 75 |
Чемпион | 30 | Rome: Caesar’s Glory | 100 |
Элита | 30 | Solar Queen | 200 |
Легенда | 50 | Olympian Gods | 1 000 |
Мобильное приложение онлайн казино
Запускать в клубе Чемпион слот барабанного типа или любую другую игру можно с помощью мобильного приложения. Оно скачивается с официального сайта и устанавливается на устройство пользователя, у которого имеется связь с интернетом. Гаджет должен работать на операционной системе Андроид, iOS или Windows. Перед тем, как загрузить программу на девайс, необходимо обновить ОС до последней версии. Также в настройках смартфона следует разрешить скачивание программ со сторонних сайтов.
На портале казино необходимо зайти в соответствующий раздел и скачать файл apk. После этого с помощью проводника его надо найти и установить на устройство. Если инсталляция пройдет корректно, на экране появится логотип. Нажав на него, гэмблер сможет зайти в клуб и начать играть. Если у пользователя уже есть аккаунт, то открывать новый игровой счет не надо. Вес достижения, бонусы и денежные средства сохраняются в полном объеме.
Рабочее зеркало Чемпион казино
Если вход в интернет-казино закрыт, то следует воспользоваться одним из способов обхода блокировки. Это VPN, анонимайзеры, особые настройки прокси-сервера, скачиваемое приложение, альтернативный адрес сайта (зеркало). Последний вариант – один из самых удобных и бесплатных способов, который позволит получить беспрепятственный доступ к игровому ресурсу. Актуальное рабочее зеркало является клоном официального портала. На нем имеются точно такие же игровые автоматы и предоставляются те же самые услуги гэмблинга. Даже опытные посетители не увидят разницы межу зеркалом и официальным сайтом казино. Воспользоваться точной копией могут все желающие.
Для того чтобы найти альтернативный адрес, необходимо подписаться на рассылку новостей от администрации. В ее рамках на указанный при регистрации адрес электронной почты отправляется важная информация о бонусах, акциях и, в том числе, о новых рабочих зеркалах. Если геймер не подписан на рассылку, он сможет найти нужный адрес самостоятельно с помощью поисковых систем или на ресурсах партнеров. При наличии аккаунта в казино, открывать новый счет, играя на зеркале сайта, не надо. Все достижения пользователя, бонусы и денежные средства сохраняются в полном объеме.
Преимущества игрового портала
Играть в азартные игры следует только на проверенных и надежных ресурсах. Это позволит проводить время за любимым занятием и не опасаться обмана. У виртуального казино Чемпион следующие преимущества:
- официальная лицензия Кюрасао;
- очень большая коллекция игровых автоматов;
- оригинальная бонусная программа;
- высокий уровень защиты персональных данных;
- солидный выбор платежных систем;
- квалифицированные операторы службы поддержки;
- быстрый вывод выигрышей.
Это не все достоинства игрового сайта, но и этого скромного списка достаточно, чтобы даже неопытные геймеры поняли, что здесь играть очень выгодно и безопасно. Отзывы постоянных геймеров, оставленные на различных порталах, посвященных гэмблингу, свидетельствуют, что на сайте действительно интересно. Это способствует тому, что здесь всегда высокий трафик посетителей.
Безопасность личных данных клиентов
Для всех пользователей важнейшим критерием при выборе казино является высокий уровень безопасности. Администрация клуба уделяет повышенное внимание защите личной информации и денежных счетов пользователей. На портале работают разнообразные программы, предотвращающие доступ третьих лиц к аккаунтам посетителей. Помимо этого, для защиты данных пользователей в казино используется современное шифрование по стандарту TLS 1.2 и алгоритм AES, у которого предусмотрен 256-битный ключ.
Аппараты сертифицированы, поэтому «подкрутить» результаты раундов невозможно. За честность игрового процесса отвечает специально уполномоченная служба. Известная международная организация eCOGRA, являющаяся аудитором в спорах между игроками и азартными заведениями, проводит регулярный мониторинг официального сайта. Доступ к персональной информации геймеров имеет ограниченный список сотрудников.
Круглосуточная поддержка Champion казино
На портале есть полезный раздел «FAQ», в котором собраны часто задаваемые вопросы и ответы на них. Если игрок не найдет нужную информацию, он всегда может обратиться к операторам саппорта, которые помогут максимально быстро. Сотрудники службы поддержки отвечают на русском или английском языках. Более сложные проблемы решаются с вышестоящей администрацией. Для этого необходимо составить официальный запрос и отправить его на адрес электронной почты казино.

The positive crankcase ventilation valve releases exhaust gas and unburned fuel from the engine block into the intake manifold. All engines allow some exhaust gases, unburned fuel and oil to “blow by” the pistons and collect in the crankcase where it produces sludge if not eliminated. Separating the crankcase from the intake manifold, which is a source of varying air pressure, the PCV valve maintains the optimal level of vacuum in the crankcase to extract the products of blow-by as well as potentially damaging moisture.
Automakers may designate a replacement interval. The valve is an inexpensive, easily replaced example of the dozens of parts that can elicit a check engine light and associated vexing investigation. It can also be the source of oil leaks. -cars.com

The city of Venice hopes to get at least 50 per cent of electricity from renewable sources by the year 2011. It plans to use algae to generate electricity.
Venice, known as the City of Bridges, plans to end its reliance on fossil fuels in the near future by primarily using biofuels.As a first step the city officials have invested €200 million ($264 million) for a biofuels plant. They will use two types of algae, Sargassum muticum and Undaria pinnafitida. They will cultivate them in laboratories, which will then be used to generate electricity in a new 40 MW power plant. This plant will provide up to 50 per cent of the city’s electricity needs.

You can use them for little love notes (and not just on Valentine's Day!) or for tags, labels, place cards or whatever your imagination can think of! Since they don't have overtly Valentine's Day images, you could use them for other occasions.

Squiz Today / 06 July 2020
Squiz Today – Monday, 6 July
“A nine-month-old dog can have puppies, so we already knew that the 1:7 ratio wasn't an accurate measure of age."
Said University of California researcher Trey Ideker of the new formula to give your pooch a human age. Food for thought: a 1yo pup compares to a 30yo human. Which explains some 30yos we know…
HARD LOCKDOWN MEASURES COME TO MELBOURNE
The residents of nine public housing towers in Melbourne have been placed under the harshest lockdown conditions of the coronavirus pandemic in Australia to date. Banned from leaving their homes in Flemington and North Melbourne for at least five days, the 3,000 residents will be kept in their 1,300 apartments by 500 police officers who are monitoring the towers. The extreme measures come after Victoria added more than 760 new cases of COVID-19 in the last fortnight, with many via community transmission. That includes 108 new cases on Saturday, and 74 yesterday. And things aren’t going to improve in the short-term, Premier Daniel Andrews said. There will be “some big days, some big numbers in the days ahead.”
THAT’S FULL ON…
It sure is. And while officials say they need five days to test residents from when the lockdown was announced on Saturday, Premier Daniel Andrews hinted that the lockdown could last longer if people refuse to be tested. So why has the state significantly stepped it up? Because of “patterns of movement, friendship groups, family groups,” within the towers, Andrews said, which could lead to the mass spread of the virus beyond the areas of Melbourne they are currently concerned about. In the meantime, residents will receive financial hardship payments, rent relief and activity packs. Twelve postcodes in Melbourne are subject to stage 3 lockdown restrictions with two more added on the weekend.
AND WHAT’S HAPPENING FURTHER AFIELD?
The number of new COVID-19 cases around the world clocked 212,326 cases in 24 hours on the weekend - another record high, the World Health Organisation says. It’s super concerned about the rate of the rise in new cases, particularly in nations that got a handle on things, eased restrictions, and saw a spike in new cases. The US continues to log big numbers, including from the likes of California, Texas and Florida. And parts of northern Spain have been put back into lockdown with outbreaks following the easing of restrictions there. At the other end of the spectrum is the UK. Thousands have cleared away the cobwebs after more than three months of being denied a “proper pint”.
SQUIZ THE REST
LABOR CLAIMS THE WIN IN EDEN-MONARO
Only hardcore political tragics made it deep into Saturday night’s vote count with the high number of early votes stalling proceedings for hours. But by mid-yesterday, Labor’s Kristy McBain was feeling confident enough to claim victory saying she has a lead on her Liberal opponent Fiona Kotvojs that will be near impossible to catch. McBain finished 737 votes ahead yesterday, and the Electoral Commission is now waiting until the end of next week for all the postal votes to come in before declaring the final result. Looking at the primary vote results so far, Labor took a 3.2% hit (which pundits put down to former MP Mike Kelly's personal following), the Liberals were up almost 1.3%, the Nationals were down a smidge (which is the technical term for 0.5%), and the Greens' vote was down by 3.2% on the last election.
Belgian-born/West Aussie Finance Minister Mathias Cormann yesterday confirmed what political insiders have speculated about for months - he’s leaving politics. The life of a senior federal pollie based in WA is tough, and at almost 50yo, he says he’s looking forward to a new career and more time with his family. "There is a physical limit to how long you can do this job,” he said yesterday. And that limit was reached as the nation's longest-serving finance minister - and he’s the only minister to have retained the role he was given when former PM Tony Abbott was elected to government in 2013. Fun fact: Cormann studied law in Belgium, but his degree wasn’t recognised here, so he started out as a volunteer in a Liberal Senator's office in the mid-90s. He will depart stage right at the end of the year. Cue Cabinet reshuffle jostling…
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNING TAKES OFF
Commentators said it was less an American Independence Day address from a sitting president, and more a campaign speech as President Donald Trump laid down some political tracks that we're likely to hear more on as November's election looms. Vowing to "safeguard our values" from leftists, looters, agitators, Trump said; "We will never allow an angry mob to tear down our statues, erase our history, indoctrinate our children.” He also promised to establish a ‘National Garden of American Heroes’ that will pay tribute to some of the most prominent figures in US history - a collection of people one critic described as “just so random". If you thought things weren't interesting enough, Christian Billionaire Genius Kanye West (a name change he’s considering... ) says he's entering the race. Tesla/SpaceX entrepreneur Elon Musk is excited. It’s enough to make you speed-eat a hotdog or 75…
PRESSURE ON PRINCE ANDREW
Following the arrest of dead financier Jeffrey Epstein’s former flame Ghislaine Maxwell last week over accusations she was complicit in the trafficking and abuse of girls as young as 14yo, the spotlight has fallen on her mate Prince Andrew. Maxwell's the woman who introduced him to Epstein's high-powered American world, Andrew said in the car crash that was his interview with the BBC late last year. US prosecutors say they “would like to talk” to Andrew following Maxwell's arrest, and his legal team says they've indicated he's available, but he hasn't been followed up. Maxwell's ties to Andrew were in focus yesterday as a picture emerged where she’s sitting on a throne in Buckingham Palace with actor Kevin Spacey (who has also been accused of sexual misconduct). And as any kid will tell you, there’s nothing worse than being sprung in the good room with your mates…
APROPOS OF NOTHING
The hairstyles of the characters on the US version of The Office were a big deal. If you’re a fan, this interview with the head hairstylist is illuminating, including the time they gave Jim (aka John Krasinski) a wig….
If you’re thinking about microwaving your library books to zap the coronavirus into oblivion, please don’t…
We can’t think of another piece of investigative journalism that’s more important than this. That’s not to say we agree with it - we have a lot of feelings about the conclusions it’s reached… But without further ado, here’s the definitive ranking of potato in all its forms.

If there are people in the world who still believe that Tupac Shakur’s death in 1996 was a hoax, Hollywood effectively rekindled their theories Wednesday.
As reported by Deadline, a biopic about the rapper was greenlit yesterday after Emmett/Furla/Oasis and Morgan Creek announced that John Singleton would direct the film. The project languished in development hell for years, but with Singleton behind the cameras, it is already being prepared for production, with plans to start shooting as soon as summer 2014.
Singleton directed Shakur in his second major film, the drama Poetic Justice, in which the rapper played a postal worker opposite Janet Jackson. That experience will no doubt feed Singleton’s creativity as he joins Ed Gonzalez and Jeremy Haft in revising their script.
Killed at the age of 25, Shakur has become a legend in the hip-hop community, not only because he released fewer albums before he died than after, but by creating a persona that seems to serve all purposes for all sorts of fans. To listeners of “Dear Mama,” for example, Shakur was a pious, devoted son; to “Wet ‘Em Up,” he was an incendiary, devil-may-care braggart; and to “Changes,” a thoughtful prophet carefully examining race and societal issues.

The project is endorsed by his mother Afeni Shakur, who will receive an executive producer credit on the film, which both lends the production credibility and no doubt grants it access to the rapper’s extensive musical catalogue.
Meanwhile, it remains to be seen exactly how Shakur’s life will be dramatized, given that no fewer than 14 documentaries have already been produced about his life. But given the obvious wealth of information about the rapper – not to mention the volumes of performance and other footage recorded while he was alive – the feature has an opportunity to be a definitive portrait of Shakur, even if his life and work contains a multitude of personas and permutations.

Here's a tip that's been working well for me.
Keep a to-do list.
When something comes to your attention and it needs to be done, write it down!
Don't necessarily do the thing right then.
Just write it down.
I write everything down all day long!
It all goes on the same list on my phone.
That way, I don't have the burden of remembering anything/ everything that I have to do, because it's all written out.
I can move on with my regular routine and refer to my list later when I have more time.
Next, as I go through my day and refer to my list, I naturally sort the list, moving the things I really want or really need to do next to the top of my list, and letting the other stuff that can wait fall to the bottom.
The sorting happens as I delete, add, and refer to my list a few times everyday.
I can refer to this list when there's free time throughout the day and the decision about what to do next has already been sorted out.
Today, the main goals that had risen to the top of my list included:
Call the lab back and pay my bill
Read the next debate chapter with Avril
Make bone broth
Refill the soap container in the downstairs bath
Clean the bird cage and bird perch
Now, I've done about one million other things today in addition to these half-dozen things. I'm constantly doing all the usual stuff like dishes and laundry and all the usual homeschool...
but these were the things that came to mind, that weighed me down, that I really needed to remember to do and needed some help to deliberately focus on getting done and/ or fitting into all the in-between moments.
As I complete an item on the list, it gets deleted, and that's an awesome feeling, watching the top of the list disappear.
Now that I'm done with the extra stuff I decided to do today, I'm putting my feet up and enjoying the feeling of accomplishment.
The things I decided to do today are all done!
Obviously, there's more regular work to do today like dinner prep and clean-up and more laundry, but that's all the regular stuff.
More items are being added to the list all the time...
But I've decided that all those items can wait until tomorrow or even the next day.
Note: Another major benefit of keeping and constantly sorting your to-do list is that over time with more and more experience, you learn what you actually can and can't reasonably do in one day.
I've learned to give myself a break for all the stuff that amounts to "too much" and can't be helped until tomorrow.
So sort your to-do list.
It's a mental and emotional game-changer.

Avril painted the leaves surrounding the October quote. Adele made the mosaic of fall leaves. These are currently being displayed on one of the floating shelves in our homeschool classroom. They make me so glad I live in a home where there are artistic daughters.

Music has been an essential part of our homeschool curriculum for many years. I make it a priority to ensure that girls have time to practice piano and/or guitar every single homeschool day. They may not be doing Latin their whole life, but they'll probably be playing music and singing forever. At this point, they are both on the church worship teams. Sometimes they are even assigned together on the same week. They often practice together, and this always brings me joy.

Coconut Chicken Curry Recipe
(This recipe has been adapted from Sally Fallon's Coconut Chicken Curry. At this point, I make it without referring to the recipe. And as long as the chicken is thawed, it comes together in about thirty minutes.)
One half onion, sliced into long pieces
Two large chicken breasts, sliced in half and then sliced into pieces (Note: This serves my family of five with some leftovers)
Two carrots, peeled and chopped
One can of diced tomatoes
Chicken broth (1/2 to 1 cup)
One can of unsweetened coconut milk
One-two cups of frozen peas
1 cup of fresh spinach or kale, chopped up
Cooked basmati rice
1. Spray or drizzle olive oil into a large pot. Saute the onions, carrots, and chicken in the oil for a few minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink.
2. Next, add a little (1/2 cup-1 cup) of chicken broth to the pot, and then add the spices. I do not measure at this point. I just sprinkle and stir and smell. But if you need to know where to start, I suggest adding 1 Tbs. of curry and turmeric each, 1 tsp of salt and onion powder each, a sprinkle of coriander, and just a pinch of jalapeño powder. After you have made it a few times, you will know how much of each spice to add to suit yourself and your family.
3. Then add the can 1/2 can or the whole can of coconut milk. Drain the diced tomatoes and then add those. Let this simmer on low while the rice cooks.
4. To make the rice: I use another medium sized pot with four cups of water. I bring that to a boil. Then I add two cups of basmati rice and stir and cover and turn the rice down to simmer for approximately. 15-20 minutes. Stir the rice once or twice to see how much water is left and gauge when the rice will be done.
5. When there is just a few minutes left before the rice is done, add the frozen carrots, stir, and turn the stove top off. Let the curry sit and thaw the frozen peas as the soup also cools a little. At this point, you can also add chopped spinach or kale to this curry, too. It will also soften as the curry sits on the stovetop. The curry can sit from up to ten minutes and still be warm/ hot.
6. Turn off the rice when there's no more water in the bottom when you stir, and it's done. Serve the curry over the cooked rice in shallow bowls.

I heard her laugh to herself several times today as she read The Secret Garden silently to herself. I stopped the quiet work I was doing and said prayer of thanks and snapped a picture. This is one of the primary reasons we homeschool- to provide access to great books and time to simply read them.

We decided not to be a part of our beloved CC community this year, but I still wanted my teen to learn debate. So how would we do debate without a homeschool community? After all, one of the major benefits of CC community was that it kept us accountable to do all the things that we weren't naturally bent to do like debate, and Latin, and logic... This had been true for years, so would we find a way to do debate on our own?
I did some research on debate curriculums, then previewed, and finally purchased the NCFCA handbook for Value Debate and my tenth grader and are working through it together. We have chosen our own issue to debate and work through both sides of it, learning as we go.
We definitely need to practice self-discipline and do this ourselves without the support (and compulsion) that community provided. But it's working. We work through the lessons together, reading aloud, and taking time to talk everything through. We research and discuss ideas and research some more...
It's nice not to be rushed. In previous years, we were working on a community schedule rather than our own. Debate was always a hectic pain. So it's nice not to have my teen stressed out about debate. She used to consider my questions and advice an imposition, delay, or hinderance to getting all her work done in time for community, etc. Now that I'm my daughter's only debate partner and teacher, and now that her work doesn't have to be done by a certain day next week, we are both relaxing, embracing and even enjoying the time spent wrestling through the issue mind to mind and heart to heart.
The NCFCA handbooks are amazing resources, and I wish I had found them years ago instead of struggling through debates in previous years with the resources we had then. I thought we all just hated debate for years, but I think we just hated being asked to do something without enough information.
Obviously, without a community to join in debate, my daughter may never have the opportunity to debate another student live. But I'm not sure I consider that I huge loss. My major goals for doing debate are to practice seeking truth, thinking through both sides of an issue, researching, organizing thoughts, and applying what we find out to our own hearts and minds first, and all that is happening on a deeper level now.
I trust that this authentic practice in debate will bear fruit, and when my daughter finds it necessary to stand up and speak up, she'll have what it takes.
Now, we practice debate simply for its own sake, and we are finding it truly worthwhile.

Since the girls are old enough to work independently and make their own lunches, we don't always eat lunch together. But when we do, we usually listen to a podcast or an audio book. We started listening to Adorning the Dark by Andrew Peterson the other day.
The girls are in a few art classes through Delightful Art Co., and I find that adding so much art to their lives is breathing life and meaning into all the more academic work they do. So they are constantly making new art, and naturally, it usually always applies directly or indirectly to something they are learning in another subject. I've put these floating shelves in the classroom. They serve a dual purpose- their art has a place to rest and dry, but it can also be displayed and enjoyed for a few days at a time.
Here she is drawing a map step by step with the help of "How to Draw -" by Kristin Draeger on the iPad. She's learning to draw all the countries of the world by memory.
These images certainly don't represent everything they do.
There aren't any pictures of the girls doing their Latin, Math, Logic, Writing... but that happens almost daily, too.
I hope these images demonstrate that school doesn't have to look anything like traditional school.
And learning can be done anywhere for its own sake and as a way of life.

Adele is currently drawing Michelangelo's Pieta.
These are the kinds of things that I walk in to the room to find my daughters doing, and it takes my breath away.
And then I give glory to God for the beauty that fills my life.
This image means a lot to me, personally.
I was a high school freshman, a year older than Adele is now, when I saw a photo of the Pieta in my history textbook.
We were studying the Middle Ages and even though the textbook called it the Dark Ages and had a decidedly negative view of that period, the age had a radiance that couldn't be suppressed, and my imagination was set aflame!
The photo of the Pieta in the textbook was grainy, black and white, and tiny- maybe two inches wide and an inch high.
Right there in history class with my head bent low over the text.
I don't remember being embarrassed.
Interestingly, I remember that it was like I was hardly there to be seen.
I understand now why I was so affected.
I was beauty-starved back then.
I was a typical modern teen who spent more time at the mall than in museums.
That masterpiece was a tiny window into the transcendent world.
It was inches wide but large enough for God to reach through and touch my heart.
I should say that the photo Adele has of the Pieta is large.
The figures are so sharp, they appear to be breathing.
He fills my life with good things.
He fills my life with Himself.

I took Norah to see Hadestown for her twentieth birthday gift. for both of us, it's the third time we've seen it. Neither of us are bored of it. It's our absolute favorite. And we can and do talk about it for hours. And it just makes it more interesting to compare and contrast the differences in how one actor or pair or group plays it. She read CS Lewis's "Myth Became Fact" aloud to me on the way. Both of us see Christ in Orpheus, our own souls in Eurydice, and our love and appreciation for what Christ accomplished for our souls is deepened by watching this beautiful myth on stage.

"'Why should women want to know about Aristotle?' The answer is NOT that all women would be better for knowing Aristotle... but simply, what women want as a class is irrelevant. I want to know about Aristotle." -From Are Women Human? by Dorothy Sayers
That's the only way I can describe how it feels to read Aristotle for graduate school.
It is pure joy.
The joy is a gift and a confirmation I am on the right path.
It's also the hardest content I've ever encountered, but it is, without doubt, the most worthwhile and fulfilling (next to Scripture, of course).
I sense the Lord urging me on.
All truth is His.
Through Christ, everything that's His is mine.
God sits enthroned over all the earth- even Parnassus.

Návštěvnost zajímavě stoupá, i když je značně závislá na tom, jak se trefím do právě aktuálního a populárního tématu na facebooku, kam dávám odkazy na starší články. Nicméně doufám, že někdo navštíví i aktuální verzi nebo se podívá na nabídku knížky 🙂 Ty, co se již častěji vracejí, snad zaujmou i aktuální témata.
Zrnka všehochuti – ukázka (Itálie, 1994)
U kamarádky doma nám její tchýně na přivítanou upekla crescentini, plněné placičky z kynutého těsta, pečené nasucho, velmi jedlé. Podobné jsou piadini, nekynuté placky. Názvů je na výběr plno a skrývá se za nimi pečivo různých tvarů, bochánky, rohlíčky, závitky. Krom sýrových náplní se šunkou do nich patřilo solené syrové mleté sádlo, ochucené rozmarýnem. To se už prodávalo ve skleničce hotové, jen ten rozmarýn kamarádka utrhla před dveřmi. Naučila jsem se ještě jiná zásadní jídla, z cuket a lilků. Cukety se sbíraly malé, tak dvaceticentimetrové, zatímco u nás se ještě stále pěstovali obři, u kterých je dužina už příliš vláknitá a nedobrá, semínka moc velká. Cukety rostou skoro samy a v Itálii obzvlášť. Ač řeka byla vzdálená téměř kilometr, celé údolí bylo zavlažováno soustavou otevřených i krytých kanálů, všechny zahrady, sady, pole. Je to tam zvykem odjakživa, bez vody by vše uschlo vmžiku.
Nadchly mě cuketové lodičky. Mám raději přípravu v troubě, ale vznikne méně šťávy, než při dušení pod poklicí na sporáku. Na dochucení můžeme dát bylinky-oregano, rozmarýn, petrželovou nať. Dušené cukety se lépe hodí k rýži, jinak se podává s pečivem či tousty. Po proležení druhý den jsou ještě lepší.
Lilky mě rovněž lákaly, u nás to ještě byla vzácnost. Na trhu se jich tu prodávalo několik druhů v různých velikostech a barvách, žíhané i jednobarevné. Vyzkoušela jsem pro začátek dvě úpravy. Lilky je většinou potřeba dát vypotit, aby nebyly hořké a nenasákly tolik omastku. Ale tenhle první recept se bez toho obejde.
Zapečené lilky: 2 lilky, asi půl skleničky protlaku, několik lžic strouhaného parmazánu, sůl
Lilky nakrájíme na kolečka 1, 5 cm silná a rozložíme vedle sebe na plech s papírem na pečení. Každé kolečko posolíme, zakápneme protlakem a posypeme sýrem. Dáme zprudka upéci. Podáváme s pečivem. …
Kamarádčin klučík měl v té době narozeniny, a tak jsem se účastnila i oslavy a jejích příprav. Bylo pozváno různé příbuzenstvo a známí v počtu asi patnácti osob. K podobným příležitostem nechyběly v italských domech zvláštní místnosti k tomu zařízené, něco jako sklípek nebo krbárna, prostor spíše veřejný, něco mezi domem a venkovním posezením. Vlastní obytné místnosti se považují spíše za soukromé, tam se návštěvy moc nevodí. „Je to docela praktický, my tu místnost máme tady za garáží, dá se vyjít na druhou stranu na zahradu. A za horka je tu příjemně.“ Líbilo se mi rustikální kameninové nádobí i praktické vybavení včetně záchodku. Mohlo se tu kouřit. I italská babička se chtěla podílet na jídelníčku. Vařila hovězí polévku s malinkými nudlovými prstýnky-tortelinami, jeden jako druhý, které byly její chloubou. Na další chod upekla králičí maso na víně s česnekem, rajčaty a rozmarýnem.
Králík na víně po italsku: 4 porce králičího masa, 2 cibule, 4-6 stroužků česneku, 50 g slaniny, 4 vyzrálá rajčata nebo ½ plechovky sekaných, ¼ l bílého vína, olej, sůl, asi 10 cm čerstvého rozmarýnu
Očištěné (odblaněné) porce králíka osolíme, opepříme a vložíme na olej a slaninu do pekáče, přidáme cibuli nakrájenou na klínky, stroužky česneku dle chuti, pokrájená rajčata a podlijeme přiměřeně vínem. Navrch poklademe několika kousky rozmarýnu. Dusíme v troubě pod pokličkou nebo alobalem na 150 stupňů cca hodinu, pak odklopíme a při vyšší teplotě dopečeme na barvu. Maso vyjmeme a udržíme v teple, šťávu podle potřeby dolijeme vínem, dosolíme a zredukujeme.
Následovalo maso narychlo s listovým salátem. Podával se i žlutý meloun s pršutem a domácí klobásky. A my s kamarádkou chystaly moučníky. Dorty jsme udělaly snadno. Na dva koupené korpusy jsme navršily krém z tvarohu a másla, že mascarpone je moc tučné. Mimochodem, italský tvaroh není vůbec nakyslý. Ozdobně jsme ho pokladly barevným ovocem, zvlášť pečlivě vybraným, a potřely želatinou, aby neoschlo.
Na takovou oslavu se patří mít více druhů moučníků, dalším byla klasická ořechová roláda podle receptu, který si kamarádka přinesla z domova. Ořechová roláda: 5 bílků, 100 g cukru krupice, 40 g strouhaných oříšků, 40 g hladké mouky, 200 ml smetany ke šlehání
Z bílků vyšleháme tuhý sníh a vmícháme do něj cukr, pak přidáme oříšky a mouku. Hmotu rozetřeme na papír na pečení na plech a upečeme do růžova asi 10 minut. Hned obrátíme na vlhkou utěrku, stáhneme papír a zarolujeme. Po vychladnutí naplníme ušlehanou šlehačkou, pomocí utěrky zamotáme a zabalíme do alobalu. Necháme jeden den v ledničce provlhnout.
Těmito jednoduchými recepty kamarádka všechny přítomné oslnila, péci takové moučníky doma tam není zvykem a Italky to moc neumějí. Ale jiná česká jídla v novém domově moc neuplatnila, snad pár v zimě – guláš, bramboráky. V teplém počasí se tam naše klasika vůbec nehodí. Krom toho Italové nechápali naše omáčky: „To jíte mouku s moukou?“, čímž měli na mysli knedlíky a omáčku s jíškou. Ale ani její mladší sousedky moc nevařily, ještě tak strčit pastu do hrnce a k ní něco jednoduchého, maso jen narychlo. Ragú z mletého hovězího na těstoviny už považovali všichni za vyšší kuchařskou, hrozně s tím nadělali. Pizzu doma nikdo nepeče: „Ta kulatá je z kynutého těsta, kdo by se s tím doma mořil, navíc se vytahuje a vytáčí strojem, umět to dotenka je extra profese. Spíš se dělá doma pizza krájená z plechu, z těsta taky kynutého, vyššího, dává se do něj hodně sýra, neztvrdne tak hned. Ale jednodušší je si ji koupit hotovou v krabici.“
Domů jsme zase jeli obtěžkáni spoustou věcí a jídla, koupila jsem si výhodně papiňák, který sloužil jistě dvacet let. Vezla jsem artyčoky, kapary, olivy, sušenou šunku, vše stále ještě doma nedostupné.

Door de jaren heen zijn er heel veel boeken geschreven. Allerlei mensen hebben boeken geschreven over veel verschillende onderwerpen. Er zijn heel veel verschillende boeken.
De Bijbel is uniek in zijn ontstaan.
Er zal niemand zijn die zal ontkennen dat de Bijbel een boek is wat op een hele bijzondere manier is ontstaan. Vele boeken hebben één schrijver. Als een boek meerdere schrijvers heeft zal er veel moeten gebeuren om een goed samenhangend geheel te krijgen.
Maar de Bijbel is in dit opzicht heel uniek. Het is een boek dat over een grotere tijdsperiode geschreven is door meer dan 40 verschillende schrijvers. Waarschijnlijk werd de Bijbel over een tijdsperiode van wel 1500 jaar geschreven. Het is eigenlijk een compleet wonder hoe de Bijbel tot stand is gekomen. Als je bedenkt dat Mozes, als eerste schrijver, de eerste vijf boeken van de Bijbel heeft geschreven en dat hij niks wist over de andere profeten en de nieuw Testamentische Apostelen die allemaal ver na zijn tijd zijn gekomen. Elke keer werd er weer een stuk aan toegevoegd totdat rond het jaar 200 beide delen, oude en nieuwe Testament, compleet waren.
Vanaf Mozes worden de brieven via boekrollen elke keer aangevuld. Salomo en David schreven als koningen van Israël, Jesaja, Jeremia, Daniel en Hosea schreven als profeten direct door God gezonden. Als we de identiteit van de
schrijvers van de Bijbel bekijken zien we een hele grote variëteit
Verder zien we niet alleen een variëteit aan schrijvers maar ook aan schrijfvormen. We zien geschiedenis, we zien poëzie, we zien wijsheidsgeschriften, we zien profetie en we zien wettische zaken beschreven.
Wat ook typerend is dat vele van deze mensen onder verschillende omstandigheden schreven. We weten van een aantal welke omstandigheden dat waren. Van Paulus weten we dat hij vanuit de gevangenis schreef en van Johannes weten we dat hij Openbaringen schreef toen hij op het eiland Patmos verbannen was.
Ook hadden velen van hen heel verschillende beroepen. In het oude Testament zien we Mozes als herder, Salomo en David waren koningen, verschillende van de profeten waren herders en verschillende van deze schrijvers waren aan het hof van andere koningen zoals Nehemia en Daniel.
Verder weten we dat Lukas een dokter was, velen van de Apostelen waren opgegroeid als vissers, Paulus was een wetgeleerde en Mattheus een belastingambtenaar.
We zien dan verder ook nog dat de Bijbel in drie verschillende talen is geschreven.
Te weten: Hebreeuws, Aramees en Grieks.
Als we er dan ook nog aan toevoegen dat de oude geschriften op verschillende materialen waren geschreven. Dat er boekrollen in omloop waren wat allemaal gepreserveerd is wat uiteindelijk onze Bijbel is geworden.
Ondanks een verschil in taal, tijd, achtergronden en culturen hebben we een boek dat een éénheid bezit. Deze éénheid is zo uniek. Ook vanwege het feit dat er zoveel verschillende dingen in worden besproken.
De Bijbel is uniek in zijn éénheid.
De Bijbel is een boek dat als geen ander boek een aantal zaken bespreekt die erg controverieel zijn en toch vormt alles een éénheid.
Als we ons vorige punt overdenken zien we dat we spreken over verschillende soorten schrijvers, verschillende talen, verschillende achtergronden, verschillende beroepen etc. Ondanks al deze grote verschillen hebben we de Bijbel die in alles een éénheid is.
Zelfs over de meest diepe zaken zien we dat de schrijvers een éénheid vormen.
Ze spreken over zaken als, wie is God, wie is de mens, waar komt de mens vandaan, waarom is de mens hier en waar gaat de mens naartoe.
De Bijbel spreekt over de meest confronterende zaken en toch word door alle schrijvers hetzelfde gezegd.
De Bijbel is uniek in zijn actualiteit.
Als we de geschiedenis van de mensheid bekijken zien we dat elke tijd getypeerd word door verschillende zaken. Elke tijd kent zijn eigen behoeften, elke tijd kent zijn eigen problemen etc.
Als we dan kijken naar de boeken die geschreven zijn, zijn die vaak geschreven voor een bepaalde tijd. Dus boeken komen en boeken gaan. Ook is het zo dat boeken altijd een bepaald mens op het oog heeft, een boek voor ouderen, een boek voor jongeren, een boek voor vrouwen, een boek voor mannen etc.
Als we kijken naar de Bijbel zien we een boek wat actueel is voor een ieder en voor elke tijd. Jong en oud, rijk en arm, blank en zwart etc. Overal ter wereld heeft het mensen geinpireerd tot grote daden.
Als er dan boeken zijn die nu nog gelezen worden dan zijn het vaak geschiedenisboeken.
Hoeveel boeken kunnen we noemen waarvan bekend is dat het altijd al door een breed publiek gelezen is. Een boek dat dan ook nog tegelijk heel confronterend is.
Het is nog steeds het meest verkochte boek ter wereld.
Wat is er dan met de Bijbel aan de hand dat dit zo is?
De mensheid word getypeerd door zoveel verschillende tijden, middeleeuwen, verlichting etc. en systemen, het communisme, het socialisme etc. in al deze tijden en systemen is de Bijbel altijd actueel gebleven.
Ondanks al deze verschillen werd de Bijbel altijd gelezen, de Bijbel had een plaats in de maatschappij.
De bijbel is uniek in zijn verspreiding.
De Bijbel is uniek vanwege zijn aantal vertalingen. De Bijbel behoort tot de eerste boeken die vertaald zijn. Rond 250 voor Christus werd het oude Testament overgezet in de Griekse taal. Deze vertaling werd bekend onder de naam “Septuaginte”.
In 1997 was de Bijbel vertaald in 363 talen, afzonderlijke Testamenten in 905 talen, terwijl nog eens in 929 andere talen gedeelten van de Bijbel waren uitgegeven.
Deze zelfde dingen gelden voor de verkoopcijfers van de Bijbel. De Bijbel word gelezen door meer mensen, gepubliceerd in meer talen en verkocht in grotere aantallen dan enig ander boek ter wereld.
Ook moeten we niet vergeten dat er tijden geweest zijn dat er mensen zijn geweest die geprobeerd hebben om te Bijbel uit te bannen, ze hebben geprobeerd om het van het wereldtoneel te laten verdwijnen, ondanks dit alles is dit boek altijd blijven bestaan.
Sinds de uitvinding van de boekdrukkunst was de Bijbel, of een gedeelte ervan, het eerste boek dat gedrukt werd. Dit gebeurde op de drukpers van Gutenberg in Duitsland.
Johannes Gutenberg (ca. 1394-1468) geldt als de uitvinder van de boekdrukkunst. Hij werkte te Straatsburg (ca. 1440) en Mainz (ca. 1450). Zijn bekendste werk is de in 1455 voltooide Gutenberg-bijbel.
Sinds de uitvinding van de boekdrukkunst zijn letterljk honderden miljoenen Bijbels van de persen gerold, met aan de top de New International Version met 1.2 miljoen exemplaren uitgegeven op 27 Oktober 1978. Dit was ook tegelijk de grootste eerste druk van een boek ooit uitgegeven.
Om aan de vraag van Bijbels te kunnen voldoen moeten de Bijbelgenootschappen en Bijbeluitgevers meer dan één Bijbel of Bijbelgedeelten per seconde publiceren, dag en nacht!
En het neemt nog steeds toe:
De eerste Bijbel in de Nederlandse taal was de Delfse Bijbel en dat was in 1477.
Er is geen twijfel mogelijk, of we nu denken aan Homerus of Ovidius, Augustinus of Thomas van Aquino, Shakespeare of Dante, Goethe of Vondel, in zijn verspreiding slaat de Bijbel ze allemaal.
De Bijbel is uniek in zijn overlevering.
De Bijbel is uniek in het opzicht van overlevering omdat er in de dagen van het Oude Testament alles handgeschreven werd. Er waren geen computers en/of kopieërmachines en alles moest met de hand gedupliceert worden.
In het allereerste begin werd er geschreven op een materiaal dat bekend staat als de kleitabletten.
Later werd dit gevolgd door Papyrus.
Papyrus is een vroege vorm van papier. Het wordt gemaakt van de stengels van de papyrusplant, Cyperus papyrus en in de oudheid gebruikt om op te schrijven. De tekst werd bewaard als boekrol. Later werd het gebruikelijk om vellen van de rollen te snijden en samen te voegen - hier komt de moderne boekvorm, codex genaamd, uit voort. Het gebruik van papyrus begon 5000 jaar geleden in Egypte (en waarschijnlijk ook in andere plaatsen).
Een aantal lagen, in lange repen gesneden, papyrusstengels werden als een weefwerk op elkaar gelegd, en terwijl ze nog nat zijn samengedrukt. Het kleverige plantesap fungeerde als bindmiddel. Als het blad droog was werd het papyrus oppervlak behandeld met een soort lijm, waardoor de inkt niet ging lopen, en glad gepolijst.
In een droog klimaat zoals dat van Egypte is papyrus goed te bewaren. In een klimaat met een hogere luchtvochtigheid zal papyrus gaan schimmelen. Daarom zijn de meeste vondsten van papyrus in het woestijnklimaat van het Midden-Oosten gedaan. In het natte Europa is bijna alle papyrus uit vroeger tijden vergaan.
Papyrusrollen zijn tijdens opgravingen onder andere gevonden in graftombes, huizen en afvalhopen uit de oudheid, en hebben al veel over de geschiedenis van met name het oude Egypte en omstreken verteld. Met name de vondsten te Oxyrhynchus vormen een bron van informatie over het dagelijks leven.
Er werd veel geschreven om zodoende alle dingen te bewaren voor de latere generaties.
Dus moest er veel overgeschreven worden omwille het over te leveren aan de volgende generaties.
Er zijn zo vele kopiën gemaakt door alle jaren heen. We spreken over duizenden. Vele van deze zijn bewaard gebleven.
Maar de Bijbel is dan niet alleen uniek in overlevering om door de boek-druk loze tijd heen te komen, eeuwenlang is er geprobeerd om dit boek te vernielen en te verbranden.
De Romeinse keizer Diocletianus vaardigde in 303 na Christus een bevel uit om alle Christenen en hun boek te vernietigen. Gelijk hieraan zijn er op verschillende plaatsen en op verschillende tijden geprobeerd om dit boek te vernietigen maar het is nooit gelukt.
De Rooms Katholieke kerk heeft ook geprobeerd om de Bijbel bij de gewone mensen vandaan te houden. Er word gezegd dat Luther al volwassen was toen hij ooit zijn eerste Bijbel zag.
Zelfs op grond van concilies en pauselijke besluiten werden Bijbels in het openbaar verbrand en Bijbellezers gemarteld en verbrand.
Na de reformatie (Maarten Luther) werd de Bijbel toegankelijk voor alle mensen. Nu werd de Bijbel een boek van intern kritiek. Maar de Bijbel heeft dit alles doorstaan. De Bijbel staat nog steeds als een rots in de branding. De aanvallers zijn dood en hun aanvallen weerlegd.
Aan de éne kant zien we dan dat de Bijbel het meest geliefde boek is en aan de andere kant ook het meest gehate boek.
De Bijbel is uniek in zijn morele karakter.
Het unieke van de Bijbel is dat het voor een moraliteit staat die tegen de menselijke natuur indrijft. De Bijbel schrijft over diepe morele waarden en normen. De Bijbel spreekt over liefde in de meest perfecte zin van het woord.
Als mensen boeken schrijven word er vaak niet over henzelf geschreven. Mensen zijn vaak geneigd om alleen de positieve dingen te schrijven en niet de negatieve dingen.
De Bijbel is daaromtrent uniek. Ze beschrijft zowel de positieve als de negatieve kanten. En dit zelfs over de schrijver zelf.
De morele standaard van de Bijbel blijkt misschien wel nergens duidelijker dan in het feit dat hij zo onverbloemd de zonden van zijn edelste en meest geliefde personen noemt. Abraham lachtte over de belofte van God dat hij een kind zou krijgen, Noach was dronken, David pleegde overspel. De Bijbel tekent de mens zoals hij is. Daarom word er ook gesproken als David de vriend van God en Abraham als een voorbeeld van geloof. Waar anders kunnen we een boek vinden dat zo eerlijk is?
Het unieke karakter van de Bijbel dwingt de mens tot een keus, een beslissing. Niemand blijft neutraal na het lezen van de Bijbel.
De Bijbel leert over een liefde die alles kan overwinnen.
Christus spreekt over de wet en de profeten dat die samen te vatten zijn in twee begrippen.
Mattheus 22: 37, 38
En Jezus zeide tot hem: Gij zult liefhebben den Heere, uw God, met geheel uw hart, en met geheel uw ziel, en met geheel uw verstand.
Dit is het eerste en het grote gebod.
En het tweede aan dit gelijk, is: Gij zult uw naaste liefhebben als uzelven.
Zo zien we dat de Bijbel een uniek boek is in vele opzichten.
De Bijbel is een boek wat ons niet onveranderd laat. Het laat ons zien dat Christus onze diepe behoeften kan vervullen.
Het waren de woorden van Jezus in Mattheus 11: 28-30:
Komt herwaarts tot Mij, allen die vermoeid en belast zijt, en Ik zal u rust geven. Neemt Mijn juk op u, en leert van Mij, dat Ik zachtmoedig ben en nederig van hart; en gij zult rust vinden voor uw zielen.
Want Mijn juk is zacht, en Mijn last is licht.

Today many in the Western world are uncomfortable or even hostile when it comes to any mention of God’s name in any way but as an angry curse or as a mindless exclamatory expression (OMG). The latest example of this comes from Canada.
As part of the preparations for an end of year student concert at an elementary school near Sorel-Tracy, Que., a town near Montreal, the music teacher was planning on having his students sing the classic “Hymne à l’amour,” (Ode to Love), which was first performed by the late iconic French singer Edith Piaf in 1949. But the Saint-Gabriel-Lalemant School teacher decided to censor the last line of the song, “God reunites those who love” because he didn’t want to answer any questions the students might have about God. The local school board say the censorship was the personal decision of the teacher and was not ordered by the school or district policy.
What an offensive, politically incorrect idea that God will reunite those who love! How far has our culture degenerated that we can no longer bear to have the children sing about the author of love? As the apostle John taught:
He who does not love does not know God, for God is love (1 John 4:8 New King James Version).
Our society seems extraordinarily eager to promote media themes talking about sexual lust, selfishness, violence, and such like. But to recall God’s loving kindness has become controversial among elementary school teachers? We are heading for big, big trouble. What a people sows, they will also reap.

MOSCOW, June 30 (Xinhua) -- The latest report released by the Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) on the use of sarin in chemical weapons attack in Syria was based on doubtful data, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Friday.
The OPCW said earlier in the day that it had found the use of sarin in chemical incident on April 4 in the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun in Syria's Idlib province.
"Unfortunately, after the first reading of the mentioned document, we are forced to state that its conclusions are still based on very doubtful data obtained from the same opposition and the same notorious NGOs of the White Helmets type, and not on the site of the tragedy, but in a certain 'neighboring country'," the foreign ministry said in a statement.
"Therefore, it is not surprising that the content of the report of the OPCW special commission is largely biased, which suggests that the activity of this structure represents a political put-up job," it added.
A chemical attack was launched on Khan Sheikhoun in April and killed dozens of people. The Syrian government has repeatedly dismissed the Western accusations of its responsibility in the incident, saying it had never used chemical weapons in the Syrian territory.

On 19 April, in Brussels, the CLEARING gallery opened a new 500 sq.m. venue on Avenue Van Volxem, not far from the Wiels Contemporary Art Centre. After five years on Belgian soil, the gallery, which initially saw the light of day in 2011 in New York, marked the occasion by presenting a set of monumental sculptures by the Austrian Bruno Gironcoli. While the latest art news had tended rather to be dominated by the closure of certain galleries—we all recall the shock wave in the wake of the decision by the legendary Andrea Rosen Gallery to give up all its physical space, while continuing to represent some of its artists—, the daring monumentality of CLEARING, which, just a few years back, occupied in Bushwick an old warehouse of a similar size, is surprising and out of place. Not because it goes against the grain of any tendency, or because it illustrates a counter-model, but much more because it illustrates a radical unusualness constructed by a string of coincidences, and stories of friendship, flair and a propensity to seize the right time. The career of the gallery, incubator of some of the most interesting artists in the past few years, from Korakrit Arunanondchai to Marguerite Humeau by way of more hallowed figures like Eduardo Paolozzi and Koenraad Dedobbeleer, has a lot to do with the story of its founder, Olivier Babin, himself initially an artist before doing an about-turn and deciding to devote himself full time to supporting others.
In 2009, you put an end to your activities as an artist, and became a gallery owner. There are artists—albeit few in number—who have stopped in mid-career, but in such cases the gesture is often symbolic, brandished like a standard in the guise of a protest against the market system: a way, in a nutshell, of reversing the power play and the promotional relation of the system. Whence this first question: what made you decide to switch sides and become a gallery owner?
Olivier Babin: I arrived in New York in January 2009 for an artist’s residency, supposedly for six months, and I’ve now been living there for more than eight years. For almost two more years I carried on producing works and having exhibitions as an artist. Then in 2011, I completely emptied out my studio in Brooklyn, apart from a sofa which I continued to live on for a few months. That’s where I showed other artists for the first time: Harold Ancart and Jacob Kassay. The gallery started out as an adventure, not a professional project. In fact I’d never in my life worked in a gallery, I didn’t really have a business mind, and in addition I didn’t have any money. There was no business plan, and no road map. At the outset, there was a sudden, existential change: stopping being an artist, doing things differently, and changing my life. It was a selfish choice, not a political one. I did it for myself, not against the system. And it didn’t have anything to do with the market, either, which I knew nothing about at that time, and which I didn’t care about. More simply, it had to do with a crisis of lucidity that was a little bit more acute and a bit longer than usual: I wasn’t a great artist, I wasn’t going to become a great artist, and I was going to die of despair and bitterness if I insisted on carrying on along that track for one more minute.
Who were the first artists you worked with?
The first two artists I exhibited were Jacob Kassay and Harold Ancart, who were friends. Then Esther Kläs, Loïc Raguénès, and Koenraad Dedobbeleer, who were also friends. I think it’s quite classic: first you show your friends, then friends of your friends, people you know, and have access to. Things happen in a natural way, between friends, in a porous way, and through osmosis. My friendship with Harold Ancart, whom I met in New York in 2009, was what really made me decide to open the gallery: after working together, we decided that he would carry on being an artist, refining his work, while I, for my part, would put an end to my career, and help him. I told him that I was going to make him a great artist, and he replied that he would make me a great gallery owner. Today, the gallery is showing fourteen artists and two estates: Harold Ancart, Jean-Marie Appriou, Korakrit Arunanondchai, Huma Bhabha, Sebastian Black, Konraad Dedobbeleer, Ryan Foerster, Aaron Garber-Maikovska, Bruno Gironcoli, Marguerite Humeau, Zak Kitnick, Calvin Marcus, Eduardo Paolozzi, Loïc Raguénès, Lili Reynaud-Dewar.
What do you look for in an artist?
To start with, what I’m looking for in an artist is fire, extreme unusualness, as well as a supernatural energy and determination. Then come intelligence, luck, courage, absurd faith, vision and endurance, all qualities that will be vital, even if they offer no guarantee.
Do you think it’s possible to talk of a CLEARING “touch” or “line”, whether it’s been consciously formulated, or organically asserted from one collaboration to the next?
There’s definitely something akin to a line. Let’s say rather that there are plural lines within the gallery. The gallery’s artists form a constellation, an ensemble of very powerful singularities which all tend towards a common horizon. What connects them is the fact that they are all adventurers. They live in this world but can’t stop themselves wanting to be forever pushing back the boundaries.
Why did you choose to settle in New York and Brussels?
New York was quite simply the place where I happened to be at a given moment, when I arrived there in 2009, and stayed on. Bushwick, more precisely, where the very first space opened in 2011, was then a neighbourhood where there weren’t really any galleries, but there were plenty of artists’ studios—and it’s still like that. So we started to show the artists in the neighbourhood, by as it were establishing a direct link from the producer to the consumer. Everything came about in an organic way, through hands-on links and networks of acquaintanceship. CLEARING, the gallery’s name, comes from that idea of space, of setting up shop in a calm place in the heart of the city’s bustle. In Brussels, it’s another story. First of all it had to do with a Trojan horse technique for getting into the LISTE fair in Basel, which totally flopped at the time. We found ourselves at first with a tool which greatly exceeded our resources and the real scope of the gallery. At the start, we paid for part of the rent by renting out the top floor on Airbnb. We hadn’t really chosen Brussels, and we were very lucky to be able to start in Bushwick. New York is still the city where everything is possible: both becoming an artist and deciding to stop being one. The name and the logo convey that influence of American transcendentalism.
Do you plan the shows differently depending on each venue?
The very first space in Bushwick was on the first floor of an old factory and still had a sink in the middle of the space: it wasn’t really what you can call a gallery. A year later, we decided to open in Brussels in a diametrically different building, an opulent-looking house with several floors in a bourgeois part of the city. Then in 2014 in New York, we moved, but stayed in the same street, changing from No. 505 to No. 396 on Johnson Avenue, in a large rather classic space, of the white cube type, similar to what was happening in Chelsea. Last of all, in the spring of 2017, we opened a new venue in Brussels in an old factory. We’ve always adapted to these different spaces: obviously enough, we don’t offer the same thing in a two-floor space with a parquet floor and a fireplace as in a 500 sq.m. space with a concrete floor.
Do you get the impression that a geographical singularity and a scene effect still exist, and can be sensed in reactions to works and artists? Or else are we heading towards a homogenization of the art world, a consequence of global networking by way of fairs, biennials and de-materialized access to works?
I think there are still scenes. But they are less and less connected with geography. And if there is more and more homogeneity, I think there’s also more and more singularity. Globality is not necessarily synonymous with homogeneity and, quite frankly, I expect art and artists to manage to defend themselves. I’m not worried.
In just a few years, the gallery has grown larger on both sides of the Atlantic, and moved into monumental spaces. Which belies the trend that would have the model of the classic gallery becoming separated from physical space, fuelled, in particular, by Andrea Rosen’s decision last February to close her gallery, while continuing to represent certain artists, and to that end putting forward reasons of “mobility, flexibility, and a desire for change” in order to be able to preserve “an intrepid openness and a reactivity towards our present and the future…”
We have a somewhat classic conception: we like beautiful spaces, which is usually also what artists prefer. As far as Andrea Rosen is concerned—and she was a real powerhouse for almost twenty years—I think her decision to hang up her gloves has more to do with personal considerations than with reasons linked to the system. As a result, I don’t think we should necessarily try to deduce anything from that, just as I don’t think there’s a general tendency to move away from the physical space. On the other hand, I rather get the impression that there are more and more spaces, which are often larger and larger. In the case of CLEARING, our shows reflect the monumental ambitions of our artists. The enlargement of the New York and Brussels galleries is directly linked to the desire for an ever larger space of freedom on the part of our artists. And our brief is to stimulate, accompany and support this kind of ambition.

I’ve never regarded my position as a gallery owner as a profession. I’ve always seen this adventure as an experience. I know that the profession has changed a lot, but that was already the case when we started out. The gallery has simply evolved with encounters and opportunities, without us ever worrying about how other galleries were functioning and without trying to reproduce their codes. We’ve always done things in our own way. We apply the quest for singularity and demanding nature that we look for in our artists to ourselves, first and foremost.

When Abby enjoys a memorable night with a delicious 22-year-old, she easily waves him out of her life the next morning. She doesn’t have time for these sorts of distractions. And he’s only 22, after all! A child. But the charming young Marcus isn’t going to let her get away that easily. He knows what he wants and takes it upon himself to prove that age is irrelevant where the heart is concerned. Abby, though, isn’t convinced. She feels certain she should be with someone her own age, someone more impressive, someone more . . . settled. Surely nothing can ever come of this relationship?

Long before the snow melts and the heavy coats get stored for the season, the quintessential signs that spring is not too far away in New Hampshire are maple trees that become dotted with buckets and the coming alive of the sugar shacks that have been hibernating for many months. In 2022, three New England states—Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont—and New York were in the top six states producing maple syrup. Soon, however, maple syrup may have some friendly competition. New research led by New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station scientists examines how tapping non-maple trees—for example, birch and beech, which the Granite State also has in abundance—could increase the economic resiliency of the state’s syrup producers and offer intriguing alternatives to breakfast staples, while providing important ecosystem benefits.
Doctoral candidate David Moore, a member of the UNH Ecohydrology Lab, led the research, which focused on identifying best management practices for harvesting sap and producing syrup from a variety of deciduous trees native to New Hampshire. Moore co-authored a paper — along with a team of current and former UNH researchers — that appeared in the NH Agricultural Experiment Station’s INSPIRED Forestry research report.
Moore, a longtime syrup producer, previously produced birch and sycamore syrup commercially for the Lee-based business The Crooked Chimney.
“When I was an undergraduate at UNH, I did a research project on birch syrup during my senior year to determine which New England birch species was best for syrup production,” said Moore. “Paper birch (Betula papyrifera) sap had, on average, about twice the sugar content as saps from sweet birch (Betula lenta) and yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis).”
From top left and clockwise: Photos of an American beech, a tulip poplar (not used in syrup production for this research) and an American sycamore trees with sap sensors attached to them.
“Birch syrup has such an intriguing taste that’s so different from maple syrup,” he added, “so I began exploring what other types of trees could be used for syrup production.”
And although many of the non-maple trees that Moore taps—by drilling a small hole into a tree and attaching a sap collection system—contain sap with a much lower sugar concentration than maple, the syrup produced from the sap of those “alternative” trees can fetch four or five times more (about $300 per gallon) as maple syrup does.
Partly in response to market demand, alternative syrup producers are increasing. Twenty years ago, there were no commercial birch syrup producers in New England. Now there are about half a dozen. And alternative syrups mean new opportunities across the Granite State, where beech, white birch and yellow birch rank in the top 10 most abundant tree species (along with red and sugar maple), according to the NH Division of Forests and Lands.
The production of alternative syrups also offers ecological benefits. The syrup industry’s primary reliance on one tree species puts it risk from extreme climate events, pests and pathogens, market changes and other uncertainties. A more diverse sugarbush (a forest of trees tapped for sap) means lower risk if one species is impacted and would offer greater climate resilience.
To complement Moore's research, work done by Shadi Atallah, an associate professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences, and UNH graduate research assistant Jawad Khan showed that providing information to consumers about the type of syrup they are sampling, as well as the potential advantages of promoting sugarbush and forest diversification, resulted in an increase in willingness to pay for a 12.7-oz bottle by as much as $1.10.
“I thought initially that these new syrups would compete with the maple syrup market, but after talking with folks, I don’t necessarily think that happens,” said Moore. “What often occurs is that people who really enjoy pure maple syrup find out that syrup can be produced from different trees and that these different syrups have new flavors, and they get excited to try them.”
“In a sense, these different syrups all complement each other in the market,” he added.
A Taste of Difference
Many are familiar with the taste of syrup that comes from maple tree sap. However, different tree species offer entirely different tastes in the syrup that comes from their sap. For example, the taste of birch syrup can vary depending on the processing method and range from a smoky and burnt flavor to a sweet, light palate with a hint of raspberry, said Moore.
On the other hand, beech tastes akin to your maple syrups, but walnut syrup has a little smoother and nuttier taste than maples, whereas sycamore tastes like honey or butterscotch.
“I’ve had birch syrup that tastes like molasses and birch syrup that tastes almost fruity,” described Moore. “Birch syrup pairs very nicely with savory foods – some folks don’t like the taste of it right away, but when they try it in a dish, they love it.”
“I think sycamore syrup is my favorite out of the bunch – it’s got such a light, sweet, distinct flavor when it’s made right.”
It’s All in the Sugar
Besides water, the most prevalent molecules in sap are sugars. Sucrose—or your common table sugar—is the primary sugar found in sugar maple sap, whereas birch sap largely contains fructose and glucose. Fructose breaks down at lower temperatures than both glucose and sucrose. However, recent technologies like reverse osmosis that don’t rely on heat to concentrate sap can help make the syrup production process more efficient while maintaining the flavor profile, said Moore.
“Boiling sap using heat is desirable for many reasons – it helps develop the nice, caramelized flavor that we love, and it often makes sense for sugarmakers to use wood as a fuel source,” added Moore. “However, reverse osmosis greatly reduces the amount of fuel you use and really makes a difference when burnt off-flavors are a risk.”
This material is based on work supported by the NH Agricultural Experiment Station through joint funding from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (under Hatch award number 1022415) and the state of New Hampshire, as well as funding from the UNH Collaborative Research Excellence (CoRE) program.
This work was co-authored by David Moore, Station scientist Heidi Asbjornsen, a professor in UNH’s natural resources and environment department; Sherman Bigornia, an assistant professor?in UNH’s agriculture, nutrition and food systems department;?Matthew Vadeboncoeur, a research scientist with the UNH Earth Systems Research Center; Marta Lima, a research assistant professor at Virginia Tech’s School of Plant and Environmental Sciences; and Shadi Atallah, an associate professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences.

When you apply for a car loan, the lender will want to know several important pieces of information about you. This will usually include your credit score, stability of residency, income, and down payment amount. If you recently started your own business, it might be hard to prove your income, though. Here are some tips that will help you get approved for auto financing, despite your current situation.
Build On What You Do Have
Instead of focusing on the fact that you cannot prove your income, try to build on what you do have. If the income verification is the only problem you have when applying, it will help if all the other factors are strong. For this purpose, you will probably want to make sure you have a decent credit score. A score of 680 or higher is usually considered good; however, as long as your score is no lower than 620, you should not encounter too many problems getting financed for a car.
The second thing you can use to your advantage is a down payment. If you have a decent amount of money to put down on a car, a lender may not view issuing you a loan as a super risky investment. This is because if you are willing to put a lot of money down on the car, you probably have every intention of paying the loan. After all, if you fail to make the payments, the lender could repossess the car, and this would cause you to lose your investment into the vehicle.
While it might not be required, you should be prepared to put at least 20% down on the car. Not only could this help improve your odds of getting a loan for the car, but it will also help keep your car loan equal to or less than the actual value of the car you are buying. If you have $1,000 to use as a down payment, look for a vehicle that is priced at $5,000 or less.
The other factor that can help your case involves the stability of your residency. Most lenders want to see that a person has lived in the same place for at least one year. This is an important factor because living in the same place for a year or more shows stability, and stability is an important factor in creditworthiness.
Show The Income You Have
Building on the factors that make you a good candidate for a loan can be helpful when you are negotiating a deal with a lender, but the lender may still want to know that you have a job and income coming in. The problem is that if you just started your business, you may not have a lot of records to prove this.
What you can do is show them the records you do have. If you have a bank statement from last month that shows money coming in, show them. If you have copies of outstanding invoices that reflect money owed to you, show them. Without any proof of income, it might be harder to get a loan; however, all the good factors you have going for you may help offset this one factor in your situation.
The requirements for getting approved for auto financing vary from lender to lender. If you find that you are having trouble getting approved through a regular car dealership, you may want to visit a dealership that specializes in offering loans to people with little or no credit. Those types of dealers can typically offer financing options to anyone, even to a person that has no proof of income.

I’m a mom of a brilliant, energetic toddler and the days can feel long. By the time she’s in bed at 7pm, I’m exhausted yet find myself watching The Office reruns and working on my laptop until 11pm or later. I finally fall into bed and, thanks to running my own business, don’t set an alarm for the next morning. My daughter’s monitor sits on my nightstand, about 12 inches from my head, so around 7am the next morning I’m awoken by her chatting to herself and moving around in her crib. I jump out of bed and have just enough time to put my contacts in, brush on a little makeup, and get dressed before her chatting escalates to screaming MOMMYYYYYY!
So from minute one, I’m on Mom Duty. Getting her dressed, bustling around the kitchen, playing the guessing game of what will she decide to eat today, and coloring endless pictures with crayons.
Some days I have childcare so I can work and by the time they show up at 9am, it feels as if the day should be halfway over already! I sit down at my desk to work and end up spending the first hour just clicking through my email, poking around on the internet, and just slowly getting into the swing of the workday.
Now, frankly, this probably doesn’t sound so terrible to some people. Maybe you’re out the door at 6:30am to drop your three kids at daycare, or maybe your toddler still doesn’t sleep well so you’ve been back and forth between your room and his four times last night.
I hear you.
But what we all have in common is that our days start off with a whirlwind of activity and by the time we have a moment to catch our breath, we almost don’t know what to do with ourselves. I felt like I was using my limited childcare inefficiently and my days and weeks lacked focus. Something had to give but I wasn’t sure what it was.
Earlier this year, my friend Susie posted an article about how getting up at 5am changed her life. She had read this book called The 5AM Club by Robin Sharma and claimed that this habit of getting up early made her calmer, gave her clarity, and helped her be more productive and healthier.
It’s hard to believe that just an early wake-up call could provide those benefits.
I decided to give it a try, despite my skepticism, and just see what happened. The first few days I went to bed closer to 10pm and set my alarm for 5am. When the morning rolled around, I was so tired that I hit snooze until 6am and finally guilted myself into getting up.
Come on, Stephanie. You’ve done harder things than voluntarily waking up at 5am. Get UP.
I ignored myself at 5am morning after morning, but continued to get up at 6am. I realized that just because I wasn’t following someone else’s prescription exactly didn’t mean that I couldn’t get the benefits of getting up early. So I created my own 6am club!
Here is my usual morning routine:
- Get up at 6am
- Get showered and dressed with clothes laid out the night before in the bathroom
- Be downstairs making tea by 6:30am (and try not to scroll Instagram while the water is heating)
- Let the dog outside and feed him
- Sit down at my desk for journaling by 6:45am. Write a few pages on three things I’m grateful for and what I want to focus on that day (e.g. abundance, peace, joy, presence, etc)
- Meditate for 10 minutes
- Get another cup of tea and start working until I hear my daughter stirring
After six weeks of this routine almost daily, I can say with certainty that I’ve experienced significant changes in my life.
- I feel less anxiety. Sometimes if I’m feeling overwhelmed, usually by work, I feel a tightness in my chest and stomach. The 10 minutes of meditation I do each morning help me to shed this tightness and focus on my breathing. If you’re thinking, omg I could NOT sit still for 10 minutes, please know that I started six weeks ago with 2 minutes at a time and each time I was able to sit without going nuts, I bumped it up a minute the next day.
- I feel more focused. Even though I’m not journaling my to-do list each morning, I feel like this extra quiet time allows me to hone in on what my true priorities are and what activities are going to get me closer to my big goals, rather than just diving into email and putting out the latest fire. I can put my efforts that day into what will make the greatest impact.
- I have more self-control. I’m fairly certain I’m addicted to my phone. I’m conscious of it and make sure that my device doesn’t get in between me and the people I love, but every time there’s an unoccupied moment, I grab my phone to scroll. However, my phone is off limits now until I finish my meditation each morning. After an hour of being without it (I usually leave it in the kitchen), I am usually ready to dive into work and don’t even miss it.
- I’m more joyful. You mamas out there will understand this: that feeling when you hear the little one stirring through the monitor and you audibly moan like, omg they’re awake already?! Now, maybe your kid has woken up half a dozen times in the night and you’re legit exhausted, and I feel you. But I was moaning about her waking up just because I didn’t feel like getting up yet, and that didn’t feel good to me. My daughter is the love of my life, and thanks to me getting up an hour earlier, now I feel joyful when I hear her little chatter each morning.
If you don’t yet have a morning routine, you may be rolling your eyes. I always used to read about entrepreneurs’ morning rituals and think, who in the world has time for two hours of reading and a 90 minute yoga session and three walks on the beach with their dog before starting work?! Certainly not me!
But over these last six weeks, I’ve discovered that you don’t need to get up at 5am or have a four hour morning ritual in order to bring more calm and clarity to your life. You don’t need to be single and living in LA or NYC to start your day off right.
By giving myself just one extra, intentional hour per day, I can confidently say that I’m calmer, more focused, more in control, and just plain happier. If all that takes is a 6am alarm, I’m in.

St Patrick’s Day Images: Ireland is delighted because their favorite celebration day has arrived and the whole ambiance turns into a new environment. Everything looks perfect, the dress of people, their preparation, food, drinks, and churches. They are also ready with their speeches to give standing in the chapel and all the lanes, skies lakes, rivers, and fountains also align at the moment to witness a wonderful time. This all may sound spiritual but this is the beauty of this day and this day is a dream day for Ireland.
Well, if any carnival exists then rituals too become compulsory in that case. St Patrick’s is full of rituals and customs which the people of Ireland love to follow. They do it out of love and give some respect to the existence of that day. Along with, rituals, this day has some very interesting and beautiful tales which are full of fascinating stories. The story belongs to the time of the 17th century and since this day is considered one of the red carpet days in Ireland day. Since then, this day commemorates the life of Saint Patrick and celebrates the advent of the most religious character St. Patrick.

Whenever it is about festivals so we cannot skip ‘FOODS’, they are one of the talks of the day. From dedicating food to the important figure to eating, it becomes important what to eat on such a special day. Well, Ireland has its own menu for this special day, because they are forbidden to eat some specific number of foods. They are not bound to follow these things they do it out of love and respect. Some even believe they do it because of stories which are behind it, well that may be true at least some percent but not exactly.
Following, there is a story that says, the dweller of Ireland does not eat anything which contains wheat flour, rye, cake, pasta etcetera. So what do they eat? They prefer bacon, pork, potatoes, sausage, and shepherd’s pie. These foods come under the ritual of St. Patrick and this is not compulsory but they do eat these scrumptious foods.

On any occasion, it is always myths whose presence becomes mandatory. This St. Patrick’s day too has too many myths more than ritual exists for the day. Many Irish do not put on ‘Green color’ for this day due to according to some stories; St Patrick has never worn green color. But in many countries who too celebrate St Patrick’s day, they believe in wearing that. Therefore, a different country and its different rituals!

Contributed by Tom Martin – Blackhawk 67
Excerpts from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. You can google “First Battle of Loc Ninh” for many more stories about this action and much more detail about the actual battles.
The First Battle of Loc Ninh was a battle during the Vietnam War that occurred between 29 October and 7 November 1967, fought by the Viet Cong (9th VC Division), Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN), Civilian Irregular Defense Group and the United States Army (elements of the 1st Infantry and 25th Infantry Divisions).
The battle was part of the Operation Shenandoah II campaign. This battle represented the first time that Central Office for South Vietnam (COSVN) had coordinated attacks from different divisions, and was intended as “rehearsal” to experiment with urban-fighting techniques to be used for the Tet Offensive.
Operational goals of COSVN was in part, to draw US and ARVN forces away from the cities in an upsurge of activity, in preparation for the Tet Offensive the next year.
In late September and early October patrols from the Loc Ninh Special Forces Camp had discovered an engineering company from the Viet Cong (VC) 9th Division building a large hospital on the Sông Bé River several kilometers west of Loc Ninh and elements of the 84th Artillery Regiment, which operated in support of VC infantry, camped within a few kilometers of Loc Ninh. Allied intelligence also obtained documents indicating that the VC 9th Division would begin a major operation in Bình Long Province on or about 25 October. II Field Force commander Lieutenant General Frederick C. Weyand ordered Major General John H. Hay to prepare contingency plans for the defense of the district capitals of Loc Ninh and Sông Bé.
The 187th Assault Helicopter Company (Crusaders) was deployed on the third day of the battle to support elements of the 25th ID. This action would begin my first experience with the massive body counts that would be a result of the VC attacking border units in an attempt to draw US forces away from the cities. I didn’t know that was their tactic, I only knew that all of a sudden the war had become far more deadly for myself, but especially for the enemy. During the 9 days of this battle the VC lost over 1,000 soldiers. Many of those were lost during attacks on the SF camps at Loc Ninh and Bu Dop. Prior to this time, even though we had participated in some severe actions, a 100 enemy dead was seen as a tremendous kill rate.
We were deployed to and staged out of the airfield at Loc Ninh. We landed there on the third day of the attacks and the VC had made tow large scale attacks during each of the previous 2 nights. During the second day, an artillery battery had been moved into the southern end of the airfield. This was done via road rather than airlift and since the VC we operating out of and attacking from the NE and NW, they did not detect this new threat. That night they led off the attack with mortars, rockets, and other forms of artillery. Then attacked the SF camp from two directions. The airfield had a slight rise in the middle, with the sound end not clearly visible from the north. As the enemy came over the slight rise, the artillery had lowered the guns and fired bee hive rounds into the surprised enemy.
We landed on the eastern side of the runway and shutdown to await briefings for the mission. After I exited the aircraft, I became acutely aware of my surroundings. The PSP runway was covered with unexploded mortar rounds. Just the fins sticking up out of the PSP, others buried int the dirt between the runway and the trees. The bodies of the dead had been removed from the runway but some still remained along the tree line. The bee hive rounds had desseminated the trees and in come cases “nailed” the enemy to trees. It was a mess and an eye opener for me me, had seen nothing like this during my 4 months in country. Little did I realize then that this was just the beginning. Over the next 3 months we would support numerous intensive battles along the border. The Parrot’s Beak, attack on two SF camps, Katum CIDG base, FSB Burt and other unnamed battles brought on by our insertions of units of the 25th ID. On many of these night engagements against fixed bases the VC/NVA lost from 200-600 soldiers killed during each engagement.
Our activities during this time frame where not as intense as some of the earlier actions, but we took fire every day. Our insertions were all challenged, either by LZ watchers or by surprising enemy units of platoon to company size. We were lucky that we did not have any KIA or seriously wounded. We did have some wounded, but most were repaired and returned to duty with us.
I was involved in my second major accident during these operations. I was flying with the 12th Avn Group SIP, he was a former member of our unit and I knew him well, would see him during our later years at other Army assignments and become good friends. We were flying trail (Chalk 10) and the leas was a CPT platoon leader and and FNG pilot. They cam in on the wrong axis and instead of landing in a very uneven LZ with a ravine running through it, perpendicular to the ravine, they landed right down the ravine axis. This did allow some aircraft to move to either side and land, others had to go around, but not us. We were left hanging over the widest part of the ravine, couldn’t go left or right and not enough power to go around wit a full load of combat troops. The SIP was at the controls, but nothing he could do to save it, just do his best to let it settle in one piece. As we settled we hit a high stump on the tail boom which upset the apple cart and knocked us into the ravine side. We spun around and then settled upright. SIP called on the radio that “trail was down” and I started an emergency shutdown, fuel off, battery off, then the rest after we insured no fire. The troops just said, thanks for the ride and scampered off. Then lead thinking we had told him we were down and unloaded, took off with the rest of the birds, leaving us in the LZ.
As I stated about 4 birds had to go around, so they formed up together and came back in on the proper path to unload troops. It then one of them realized we had crashed and moved over to pick us up. We went back to Loc Ninh and started giving our statements to the powers that be. Since I was not the AC I only needed to give my statement, but I told them that there was nothing the SIP could do, if I thought I could have done something, I would have taken control, I was an AC in the unit. We were in one of the known weaker ships in the company and he was doing all he could to keep us upright and safe.
Right after this I got a short pass to go to Saigon and visit my Fort Wolters IP who was assigned there. I boarded a C-130 at Tay Ninh whose destination was Saigon, but the forgot to tell me that was their “final” stop. The crew wanted me to come sit in the jumps seat and talk to them while we flew, they took off and headed north, I asked what the heck guys, where we going. They said they had a quick stop to make at Loc Ninh…. first of all I didn’t think the runway was long enough for them and secondly, it was still covered in unexploded ammo. But anyway, wrong on the first count, they made a steep approach and hit the brakes and reverse thrust as soon as the wheels touched. Finally came to almost a stop at the end of the runway, did a 180 lowered the ramp and boarded some SF guys. Then hit the throttle and off we go, they never did really stop, was still moving while the SF boarded and skimmed over the top of the arty battery on the south end. If that’s what you have to do for a ride to Saigon, so be it…
Just another learning experience in Vietnam…

Obtaining a real estate license is important if you plan on flipping houses. Getting your license will free you from paying thousands of dollars to a listing agent. You’ll also be responsible for paying the buyer’s agent, which will cost you between 2.5 and 3.5% of the sales price. You’ll also be responsible for marketing the property. A realtor would delegate marketing work to you, including flyer distribution, hosting open houses, and so forth. However, doing the marketing yourself will cost you a considerable amount of money.
Getting a real estate license will give you access to deals that aren’t listed on the MLS. This will help you to get a head start on competition. You’ll also have a better relationship with lenders and can take advantage of deals that aren’t listed. If you want to be successful in this industry, getting a real estate license is an essential step.
Obtaining a real estate license is not as easy as you think. It requires education, professional memberships, background checks, and more. It takes a significant amount of time to earn a license. However, some schools now offer online courses for real estate licenses. You’ll need to spend at least 60-180 hours studying to earn your real estate license. The cost can vary from state to state.

Otherwise, you could end up like this guy.
He accepted a bikini-clad woman’s offer for a saucy dance in front of a crowd of people and the whole thing was caught on camera.
The clip begins with the guy kneeling down with his hands tied behind his back. The women then starts (what I think is the kids describe as) ‘twerking’ in his face. She bends over and literally pushes his face into her bum and he looks pretty chuffed about the whole thing.
However, just as he starts enjoying himself, his girlfriend comes running into out of absolutely nowhere and loses her shit.
She wacks him a few times and then does a runner. Unbelievable scenes.
Good luck getting out of this one.

Appendix 1 – Definitions
Within this document, the following definitions apply:
- Child – anyone under 18. According to the Gov website – “This is in line with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and civil legislation in England and Wales. The fact that a child has reached 16 years of age, is living independently or is in further education, is a member of the armed forces, is in hospital or in custody in the secure estate, does not change their status or entitlements to services or protection” – https://www.gov.uk/guidance/case-management-guidance/definitions
- Vulnerable adult – anyone aged 18 or over:
- who is, or may be, in need of community services due to age, illness or a mental or physical disability and
- who is, or may be, unable to take care of himself/herself, or unable to protect himself/herself against significant harm or exploitation.
- More information can be found here – https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2002/446/regulation/2/made
The definition of “vulnerable adult” is important; it is not enough that someone has a disability, they must have a disability at a level that may require the provision of services from social services and where they may be unable to take care of themselves or protect themselves from harm. Vulnerability is not a test of capacity. Someone who is perfectly capable of making decisions for themselves may be vulnerable because the extent of their physical disabilities would prevent them protecting themselves from harm.
We have a duty to report any suspicion of abuse of a child or vulnerable adult to the relevant social services or children’s services department. The protection of the child or vulnerable adult is the most important consideration.
It is most unlikely, with our current role, that we would become aware of any instance of abuse, however the following are possibilities to be borne in mind:
- A child or vulnerable adult attending an event for which we have provided financial support discloses to a Trustee (or volunteer) that they are being abused.
- A child or vulnerable adult’s behaviour at an event for which we have provided financial support is so concerning as to lead a Trustee (or volunteer) to a suspicion that they may be being abused.
- The UK’s bisexual community has a high proportion of people who are disabled. It is possible some of these people would fit the definition of “vulnerable adult”. They may disclose abuse to a Trustee (or volunteer) or their interaction with us may be so concerning as to lead us to a suspicion of abuse.
Appendix 2 – What is abuse?
Abuse is the violation of an individual’s human and civil rights by any other person or persons. This occurs in many forms and may consist of a single act or repeated acts. It may also be shown by failure to act in order to protect children or vulnerable adults. Abuse may, but might not, result in the person being physically injured or ill.
Forms of abuse
‘Abuse’ in this context is much wider than might be first appreciated. There is a definition given below of some different sorts of abuse, but this should not be seen as exhaustive.
Physical abuse – this includes hitting, slapping, pushing, kicking, squeezing, shaking, pinching, mis-use of medication, undue restraint and force feeding.
Sexual abuse – this includes sexual assault, rape or other sexual acts, the inappropriate touching of the individual’s sexual areas or coercion into viewing pornographic materials
Psychological abuse – this includes threats of harm, abandonment or withdrawal of social contact, humiliation, shouting, bullying, name calling, intimidation, harassment, the denial of or withdrawal from required services, contacts and social or family networks.
Financial or Material abuse – this includes the withholding of money or possessions, intentional mismanagement of the person’s finances or property, theft, fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation of finances or exploitation.
Neglect and Acts of Omission – this includes the failure to access appropriate services for recognised needs, avoidance of required health care, ignoring physical care needs, withholding of adequate nutrition, clothing or warmth, exposing the person to unacceptable risk, omitting to provide or ensure adequate supervision.
Discriminatory abuse – this includes any acts that use hurtful language, cause harassment or similar treatment of the individual because of their race, sex, age, disability, faith, culture or sexuality.
Institutional abuse – this includes the use of systems routines, practice or care that neglects individual needs and creates an imbalance and undue control within a managed setting.
Definitions of the types of abuse safeguarding covers can be found on the NSPCC website here – https://learning.nspcc.org.uk/child-abuse-and-neglect
Definitions of types of abuse safeguarding covers for vulnerable can be found on the NHS website here – https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/social-care-and-support-guide/help-from-social-services-and-charities/abuse-and-neglect-vulnerable-adults/

Preserving Our American Democracy in an Era of Repression and Regression
Part One: The Areas of Repression
[This is the first blog of a three-part series focused on what is happening in our democratic republic today in terms of repression and regression and what should be done in response to these conditions. In this blog, we examine the areas of repression. In the second, we will examine the areas of regression. And, in the third we will present and discuss plans for protecting and preserving our democracy.]
No man is an island…. any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee. — John Donne
In the early stages of the coronavirus crisis in the United States, economists were speculating whether it would result in a recession or even depression for the United States. As the crisis continued, that speculation ended and there was almost universal agreement that the economic impact was already substantial and could grow even worse.
On April 6, Robert J. Samuelson, in his Washington Post article, stated that for the “first time in his life” he thought that a depression was “conceivable.” Samuelson went on to state that if that happened, “It implies permanently higher levels of unemployment…, greater economic instability and a collision between democracy and the economic system.”
This “collision” becomes more problematic given the current nature of American society. We Americans are living in an era of repression and regression.
The repression has been going on for some time but intensified with the presidential political campaign of 2016, and has intensified even more-so under the Trump administration.
In the United States today, President Donald Trump is the Repressor-in-chief. (We commented on the manner in which he personally behaves and discharges his responsibilities in this role in our blog preceding this one)
The Coronavirus Response
Trump is aided and abetted in his repression by those in his administration, key advisors, and allies. In his mishandling, and belated response, to the coronavirus pandemic, however, it appears that he chose to ignore the early warnings and advice of those around him and to act independently.
An April 12 New York Times article reveals that Trump was informed of the nature and the potential consequences of the pandemic nearly two months before he chose to acknowledge and communicate its seriousness, and initiate a national response to it.
Trump tried to respond and repress this article unsuccessfully through revisionist history in his marathon coronavirus briefing on April 13.
In that briefing, he had Dr. Anthony Fauci apologize for telling the truth, in an interview with Jake Tapper, in which he said that earlier actions at the federal level would have reduced the effect of the virus; showed a political campaign style video designed to prove that Trump had acted early on and masterfully to handle the virus; and engaged in a full-throated, abusive assault on those in the press at the briefing who were asking him serious questions regarding his intervention against the virus.
Calling the part of these sessions with Trump in them briefings is a misnomer. They should better be labeled unreality shows, therapy sessions, or isolation chambers. That’s because they are about Donald Trump’s psyche alone and have nothing do to with facts or useful information on the status of the coronavirus pandemic and what to do about it.
Nothing speaks better to Trump’s ego-centric perspective than his statement during the April 13 briefing, “When somebody’s the President of the United States, the authority is total and that’s the way it’s got to be.” These words were sadly reminiscent of Trump’s acceptance speech at the Republican Convention in 2016 in which he said, “Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it.”
Neither of these statements is accurate. That’s not the way it’s got be and he alone cannot fix it. The American people are paying a heavy price for Trump’s faulty mindset and failed leadership.
One of Trump’s justifications — or a rationalization — for his actions or inaction in downplaying the potential of the coronavirus early on was that he was cheerleading. What he was really doing was misleading. That misleading has cost American lives and dollars.
While Trump’s repressing performance on the coronavirus has been more solitary, he has had substantial collaboration in numerous other areas of repression. They include but are not limited to: the three branches of government; federal agencies; the Republican Party; free press and media; voting; immigration; and civic life.
The Branches of Government
Our founding fathers brilliantly established three branches of government- executive, legislative, and judicial — to create a system of checks and balances that would promote democracy, prevent authoritarianism and ensure accountability.
Trump as President has no conception or acceptance of that system. He believes he as the executive should have all power, all others should be subservient to him, and he should be accountable to no one but himself. He is the government and the government is him.
Acting upon that belief, after his first years in the White House, he has eliminated anyone in the White House or Executive Branch who does not agree with that construction of reality. Since his arrival on the job, Attorney General William Barr has been an enabler, consistently reinforcing Trump’s perception and advocating for the President to be the Supreme Being.
When the Republicans controlled both the House and the Senate for his first two years, Trump got little to no pushback on his unidimensional view of government from the Legislative Branch. With the Democrats gaining control of the House and Nancy Pelosi becoming speaker, things changed.
What that has meant is that Trump has had to use others as part of the repression team. In the House, this has required relying on members such as Jim Jordan (OH), Doug Collins (GA) and Devin Nunes (CA) to avoid any bipartisan legislation and to minimize the threat of meaningful proceedings on the Trump impeachment trial.
In the Senate, it has required Senator Mitch McConnell to do what he has always done, which is to make what was at one time considered the greatest deliberative and bipartisan body in the world into an instrument of his bidding on behalf of himself and/or the President.
While Trump’s effect on repressing the executive and legislative branches has been substantial, his impact on the Judicial Branch has been monumental. This impact is both in terms of numbers and the conservative backgrounds of the judges.
As of April 1, 2020, the U.S. Senate had confirmed 193 Article III judges nominated by President Trump: 2 associate judges of the Supreme Court; 51 judges for Courts of Appeals; 138 judges for District Courts; and 2 judges for the Court of International Trade. Trump’s appointments to the federal appeals courts have come at a record setting pace and already constitute more than 25% of the judges at that level.
The conservative Federalist Society selects the judges for Trump to nominate. And, unlike in most past administrations — except that of George W. Bush — the American Bar Association is not given special access to background information on the judicial nominees to provide ratings prior to their nomination.
Federal Government Agencies
The repression of federal government agencies has occurred across the board and in mission-altering ways. Individuals who were put in to run agencies such as the State Department, Department of Interior, and Housing and Urban Development narrowed the scope of the agency and/or flipped its functions. For example when he was in charge of Interior, Ryan Zinke made federal lands that had been held in the public trust available for use and exploitation by the private sector in mining and offshore drilling.
This revision of the rules of federal agencies continues unaffected by the pandemic. The EPA has just reduced the regulations requiring that cars and trucks achieve a 5% annual improvement in fuel economy through 2025 to a 1.5%. This increases the operational cost of car ownership for consumers and the climate impact of vehicle utilization.
Trump’s effect on the government pales in comparison to that which he has had in repressing the Republican Party. That Party is now the Party of Trump.
The Republican Party
The Republican Party had been changing for decades from the more center right conservative positions that it once held. The Tea Party Republicans accelerated that change and made Congress a more confrontational and less collaborative place when they emerged on the scene in 2009.
Trump won the Presidency in part by channeling and communicating anti-federal government, white populist messages in the red and swing states. After he won, he continued those messages through his policies, interviews with Fox News — his unofficial PR agency; and campaign-style rallies in those states designed to appeal to his base and to maintain his popularity with those who elected him.
He has been successful in this regard. He has driven those who do not support his divisive tactics out of the Republican Party and now it essentially belongs to him alone.
He uses his position to back candidates for public office at all levels who parrot his philosophy and talking points. His dominance over the Party nationally is demonstrated by the fact that that his approval ratings with the party faithful since being in office have tended to fall in the 75–90% range, compared to overall ratings in the 35–49% range.
The Free Press and Media
The high ratings by the Party faithful is partially attributable to the fact that many of them only hear alternative facts. This is a term that was first used on January 22, 2017, by Kelly Anne Conway on Meet the Press with Chuck Todd when she said that then Press Secretary Sean Spicer had not told falsehoods in talking about the size of the crowd at Trump’s inauguration and a few other things but was just using “alternative facts.” This characterization of repressing the truth and constructing an alternative fact universe has become the leit-motif for Trump and the few in his administration who are allowed to speak in public.
The primary spokesperson in that universe is Trump. He has cancelled all White House press briefings because no one can spin alternative facts as outrageously as he can and does. Trump flaunts this unrivalled capacity to mislead even today on matters as deadly serious as the coronavirus pandemic, when in his Covid-19 briefings he contradicts the experts, states his own opinion, and misrepresents the facts.
In those briefings, Trump calls outs and assails those members of the traditional media who he continues to refer to as purveyors of “fake news’ for asking “nasty questions.” Nasty questions can be defined as those presented to try to elicit a modicum of truth telling from the President who the Washington Post reports by mid-December 2019 had made nearly 15,500 false or misleading claims (the number is now more than 18,000).
It should be stressed that Trump could not prevail by saying the obverse of what is authentic, and repressing the media, if he did not have the virtually unabridged support of Fox News in reporting on his unscripted stage performances and storytelling.
The highly partisan support from Fox News has been there for him since he became President. A recent example of its “reporting” on Trump during the pandemic is demonstrated in a supercut put together by Trevor Noah for his The Daily Show.
Trump’s repressive acts extend beyond the Beltway. He is also trying to build walls between voters and their chance to participate fairly and fully in elections and immigrants’ opportunity to come to this country.
Illegal immigrants coming across the border from Mexico and the need to build a wall to stop them has been an obsession for Trump from the time he established his candidacy for and since he was elected President. Trump allocated $3.6 billion of military construction spending to the wall in September of 2019 to go along with $2.5 billion that he had reallocated from money that Congress had appropriated to stop drug trafficking. Trump’s budget presented in February 2020 for fiscal year 2021calls for $2 billion more for the wall
The wall and Trump’s resistance to and repression of illegal immigrants resonate with his mostly white base. That is undoubtedly one of the reasons why his administration during this coronavirus crisis has increased the deportation of these migrant asylum seekers back into Mexico in spite of Mexico’s request to the U.S. not to do so to prevent spreading the virus.
Through the years, both political parties have tried to use the gerrymandering of voting districts, and various walls of sundry sorts, to prevent or restrict who votes in order to reduce the opposition party’s chances of winning elections. In his New York Times article on voter suppression, Yale history professor David Blight notes, “In 2011–2012 alone …180 new voter restrictions and 27 specific laws were enacted in 19 states, nearly all controlled by Republicans.”
One of Donald Trump’s hot buttons since he became President has been his perception that there was massive voter fraud in the 2016 presidential elections. That’s not because he won, but because Hillary Clinton beat him in the popular vote by close to 3 million votes.
Trump tried to discredit that margin by establishing the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity in May 2017. The Commission was disbanded in January 2018 after it was ridiculed during the period of its existence as unnecessary by everyone from state election officials to political experts and the media.
In 2020, Trump is back on the voter fraud bandwagon. During his April 7 coronavirus briefings, he stated, “I think that mail-in voting is a terrible thing.” Greg Allen, in an article for NPR, reports that on the next day he sent out several tweets “calling on Republicans to oppose statewide mail-voting, claiming without evidence that the practice hurt GOP candidates and was susceptible to widespread fraud.”
The NPR article cited Republican strategist Mac Stipanovich saying that is not the case and that mail in ballots are used successfully and without challenge in many states producing favorable results for Republicans. Former Governor John Hickenlooper of Colorado wrote an article showing that voting-at-home works well in Colorado and would also work well nationally.
In spite of this, in Donald Trump’s mind there is a group of nefarious voters who want to stuff the mail-in-voting box in order to beat him and Republican candidates for office in this election cycle. It’s impossible to ascertain where that idea comes from, but there is a distinct possibility it might come from one of his primary sources of news. That’s Fox Nation host and Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren, who says those illegal voters are out there and many of them are illegal immigrants.
Fox News — and especially commentators such as Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and Laura Ingraham — definitely influence Trump’s civic knowledge, political opinion, and policy instincts. As importantly, as a primary and sole source of information for a large segment of Trump supporters, Fox News has a major impact in shaping their civic and political values, attitudes and beliefs.
A Pew Research Center report, issued in January of this year, described what it called the Fox News phenomenon. That phenomenon is that Fox News stands alone as a “trusted go-to source of political news” for Republicans with 65% of Republican survey respondents saying they trust it.
CNN gets comparable trust ratings to Fox with 67% of Democrats and Democrat leaners saying they trust it. Pew points out, “The big difference is that while no other source comes close to rivaling Fox News appeal with Republicans, a number of sources other than CNN are also highly trusted and frequently visited by Democrats.”
In April, Pew issued a piece titled 5 Facts about Fox News, based on Pew Research Center surveys. Those facts include:
- People who cite Fox News as their main source of political news are older and more likely to be white than U.S. adults overall.
- Those who name Fox News as their main source of political news stand out in their views on key issues and people, including President Donald Trump. (A “striking example” is that in a March survey 63% of Fox viewers felt Trump was doing an excellent job in handling the coronavirus compared to 47% overall.)
- On an ideological scale, the average Fox News consumer is to the right of the average U.S. adult, but not so far to the right as the audiences of some other outlets. (The average audiences further to the right are for the Daily Caller, Breitbart News, and the Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh radio shows.)
These areas highlighted here are just the tip of the repression iceberg. Repression in them and others, such as climate change, science, and competent governmental employees, to name just a few, will impede and retard the economic recovery after the health war with Covid-19 is won.
Part Two: The Areas of Regression
Because of regression in the United States for so many Americans and in so many areas for some time an economic recovery by itself will be insufficient to preserve our American democracy.
As we noted in an earlier blog:
In this 20th year of the 21st century, the United States of America has become a land of inequality and a sanctuary for the rich and powerful. The top 1% of earners have more wealth than the bottom 80% and the top 20% have more wealth than all of those in the middle class.
In another blog, we shone a spotlight on how this economic regression has negatively impacted many in the middle class, blue collar and low wage workers, gig workers, and the working poor.
In part two of this series, we will revisit that impact on those workers in light of the coronavirus pandemic. And we will add and analyze other new areas of regression for analysis including: women (economic and abortion rights); minorities (Blacks and Latinos); teachers; students in disadvantaged communities; civic learning and engagement; urban areas (economic and integration); rural areas; small businesses, entrepreneurs and businesses start-ups; media; manufacturing; and innovation..
Part Three: Plans for Preserving Our Democracy
As Part Two of this series will illustrate, the scope of the regression is broad and encompassing, and has been going on for a considerable time before this pandemic. As a result, the plans for addressing the forces of repression and regression must be comprehensive, coordinated, and citizen-centered.
In Part Three, we will identify and discuss the following four plans that we think will be essential for accomplishing this type of response:
- Health Care Stabilization Plan
- Country Reopening Plan
- Economic Recovery Plan (Short Term)
- Democracy Renewal Plan (Long Term)
The coronavirus pandemic has been characterized as an invisible enemy. That enemy can and will be defeated, as can the forces and consequences of repression and regression.
The American citizenry can accomplish this if we remember the famous words of Pogo, the opossum, from the comic strip of the same name, “We have met the enemy and he is us.” We can defeat that enemy with the right plans and by taking the actions required to win the battles that will be necessary to put the US back in U.S.A.
