The rise of the bedroom electrical mechanic has seen some incredible and imaginative projects get off the ground in recent years. From the simple Lego Mindstorms coding and creating package, to far more complex DIY computer terminals and robotics projects, all of these exciting undertakings have come about because individuals and groups have learned key electrical skills. In this piece, then, we’ll look at what skills you might need to cover and understand before you embark on your own creative project using electrics, computers, and devices in your home.
This piece couldn’t be written without a firm nod towards safety. Playing with electricity is a big no-no – and there has to be tight safety around the use of your electrical technology in your home. Remember that electricity isn’t just an electrocution risk: it can also cause fires in your home if wires are left unattended. It’s paramount that you observe proper electrical safety in your home, including taking an electricity safety course in your local college, or online. Take no risks, and wear protective equipment, in order to enjoy your time creating without the risk that goes along with it.
All electrical projects require a number of different materials and components in order to get off the ground. At school, you might remember how you built electrical circuits: with simple wires connected to a battery and a lightbulb, you saw how current flows around a circuit. The same basic rules apply to all of your future builds: you need your connects to create that flow of current. This means buying plenty of wires, and using other equipment such as solid state relays, in order to be equipped to build the electrical circuit that you’ve thus far been imagining.
There are hundreds of thousands of creatives using electricity in the world around you – and you can find them online, sharing their projects step by step, and showing you blueprints of how they managed to succeed in certain projects. This is a great inspiration for you and your aspirations: a wealth of information is already stored online, and you’ll able to cut a few corners in your design by mimicking the work of others. This means scouring the Internet for projects like yours, and downloading materials to help you succeed in your won build, drawing inspiration from others across the Internet.
Now that you have your equipment and you have a basic design sketched out that you’ve checked against the designs of others online, it’s time to build. This is one of the most exciting parts of your project, involving a few sparks and the use of your soldering iron to connect wires to switchboards, microchips, and other parts of your device. Maintain electrical safety at all times in order to enjoy your creation process without worry or anxiety. As you’re adding the finishing touches – like giving your electrical circuit a casing – you’ll be able to use it in and around your home.
Have fun with the wonders of electricity with the simple tips outlined in this article – showing you how to get to grips with electrical creations.

X-Plants are not spin-offs from the X-Men. The "x" in front of or within the scientific name refers to pairing (crossing) at least two plants to create a new species. When the "x" is in front of the genus (the first name), it means at least two plants from different genera (plural for genus) were crossed. Think of celebrity couples names like "branjolina" or "bennifer" and you've got the right idea. If the "x" is located between the genus and the species epithet (the second name), then at least two plants from the same genus were crossed and created a new species epithet. In the case of this tree, Chilopsis linearis was crossed with Catalpa bignonioides to develop a tree with large, tubular flowers while being "desert tough," as Sunset describes. When designers are looking for a small-scale tree with showy flowers, x C. tashkentensis might be an option.
Although these hybrids were made in 1964 and first introduced to the United States in 1977, they were not given a name under the International Rules for Botanical Nomenclature until 1991. Recently, Walter Wisura, curator of living collections at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, and I named them x Chitalpa tashkentensis.
x Chitalpa tashkentensis has no common name. Since it would be unwise to call it, "That pretty tree with the pink flowers bearing a cross," or some such unhelpful descriptor, simply calling it Chitalpa will do. Some people might even accept chitalpa as its common name, like magnolia, which is also Magnolia, the Latin name for the genus. Am I getting off track? Okay, just notice when the scientific word is capitalized and in italics to note the difference from a common name (not in italics and only capitalized at the beginning of a title or sentence).
Finding the right place for this tree might be challenging. It can grow in a container for awhile, but eventually it will require root pruning if kept confined or should be planted in the ground. Located too close to a patio or walkway, the shear volume of flower drop might be a nuisance. Have an aphid infestation? Sticky aphid secretions and sooty mold may make the tree even less desirable. It is often used as a street tree, but the wood is considered "medium weak" according to Cal Poly's Urban Forest Ecosystems Institute. Streetscapes and patios once again might not be advisable, but individual circumstances may differ, such as low wind concerns, good pruning practices, and minimal traffic may present a desirable condition.
If those negative elements are concerning, consider this tree set within a larger garden/landscape setting, away from people but close enough the appreciate the early summer bloom period. Having landscaping rather than concrete underneath them will allow summer blooms and autumn leaves to fall without compromising patios and sidewalks. A cluster might help with wind protection, both for the trees' health and the comfort of nearby people. Still not convinced? Consider this drought/heat resistant tree as a substitute for more sensitive species, such as flowering cherries.
Botanical Name: x Chitalpa tashkentensis
Chitalpa: Combined name (think of the genus as a super/celebrity couple name like "branjolina") Chilopsis x Catalpa.
Tashkentensis: The tree was hybridized in Tashkent, Uzbekistan

There are ten primary Medicare Supplement Insurance plans, but there are also high deductible versions of two of the main plans. Plan G and Plan F both have high deductible options, which involve lower premiums in exchange for a high plan deductible.
If you are a Medicare beneficiary who enrolled before January 2021, you can still purchase Medigap Plan F. Here’s what you need to know before buying High Deductible Medigap Plan F.
If you have trouble affording the portion of health care costs that are left behind after Medicare pays their approved portion of the expenses, you can get help with a Medicare Supplement Insurance plan, or Medigap plan. Medigap plans are standardized insurance products that are available for purchase through private insurance companies that have been approved to sell Medicare products.
Each plan offers a different arrangement of benefits, with some basic options and some more comprehensive options. To learn what all of the plans offer, please reach out to Texas Medicare Advisors for more information.
Medigap Plan F is the most comprehensive Medigap option. It covers all of the Part A and Part B deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. It also covers Foreign Travel Emergency costs up to a set amount and skilled nursing facility or hospice care. There are more benefits. This is a full list of what Medigap Plan F covers:
While this is the broadest level of coverage available, Medigap Plan F does not cover your entire portion of Original Medicare costs. You will still be required to pay your Part B premiums. If you do not qualify for premium-free Part A, you will also need to pay your Part A premium.
The high-deductible version of Plan F offers the same benefits as Plan F, but those benefits will not kick in until you’ve paid a set deductible amount. The deductible for high deductible plan F is $2,700 in 2023. This means you must pay the first $2,700 of Medicare costs on your own, then your Medigap coverage will begin. Switching from a high-deductible plan back to the standard Plan F might imply the need for you to undergo a medical exam for underwriting.
High Deductible Medigap Plan F offers a full range of benefits that can save you significant amounts of money. The reason people choose the high deductible version of Medigap Plan F is that they would rather pay low premiums. The plan is best for people who have significant retirement savings, as they will be able to afford more out-of-pocket expenses if a health care concern arises. Since the high deductible plan F is costly, it is recommended for people who are in overall good health. Carefully evaluate your medical and financial situation before purchasing this plan as you would be responsible for the entire $2,700 if you incurred a large medical cost.
The cost for High Deductible Plan F varies based on your location and potentially your health condition. Though, you can be sure that this plan will be less expensive than the normal version of Plan F. To find out more about pricing and enrollment, get in touch with the knowledgeable insurance professionals at Texas Medicare Advisors.

America’s biggest retiree group wants Texas regulators to reject oilman Ray L. Hunt's proposal to buy the state’s biggest electric transmission company, suggesting Hunt's control would shift wealth from everyday Texans to rich folks in suits.
But the Dallas energy and real estate mogul is pushing back. His company called the argument "alarmist and misguided."
The scuffle comes as the Public Utility Commission readies for next week’s hearings on the Hunt-led plan to take over Oncor, whose transmission and distribution lines deliver power to more than 3 million Texas homes and businesses in North and West Texas.
In a report and news blast this week, AARP said the sale would “harm consumers, enrich utility owners at the expense of ratepayers, and create significant new risk.”
The retiree group, which counts 2.2 million Texas members, joins other consumer advocates raising concerns about the proposal, which is the lynchpin of efforts by Oncor’s parent, Energy Future Holdings, to emerge from one of the largest bankruptcies in American history.
Hunt’s camp fired back Thursday, accusing AARP of trying to shape public opinion through the media, rather than participating in the regulatory process.
“We are disappointed by AARP’s alarmist and misguided claims and conclusions, which are not supported by the facts,” Jeanne Phillips, a spokeswoman for Hunt Consolidated, said in a lengthy statement.
A Delaware bankruptcy court has already approved Energy Future’s plan to shed $42 billion in debt. But Texas regulators still need to sign off on the Oncor sale, a roughly $18 billion transaction that is the bankruptcy deal's biggest piece.
The commission will begin hearings on the proposal Monday that could stretch into the next week. The energy world will closely watch as the three commissioners seek to balance Hunt's interests with those of Texas ratepayers and the electric grid.
Hunt’s plan is complicated, and the business structure he is proposing has never been tried for a utility this big. That's making some watchers nervous.
To save on federal income taxes, Hunt wants to reorganize Oncor into a real estate investment trust, essentially dividing it into two companies: one owning the assets (power lines, trucks and transformers, for instance), while the other rents the equipment, operates it and deals with customers.
That financial structure has long served the real estate world. Shopping malls, for instance, commonly use it, as investors back a broad entity that rents space and other assets to individual stores.
The structure would help Oncor borrow money at lower rates, proponents say, which could ultimately translate into lower electric rates for customers.
But it’s nearly unprecedented in the energy world. Hunt owns the only other U.S. utility organized in such a trust: Sharyland Utilities, which serves just 50,000 customers in small patches of rural West and North Texas and has the highest rates in the state.
Hunt calls that experiment a success. Critics aren’t so sure.
Several others aspects of the idea have prompted questions, including whether Oncor will be protected from the debt of its new parent, as it was when Energy Future sank.
The utility commission’s staff experts have called the broad proposal “not in the public interest," writing that it could inflict “significant potential harm to ratepayers.”
AARP synthesized much of that criticism in its report, prompting Hunt’s harsh rebuttal.
“Hunt’s proposal seeks fair and equal tax treatment under the law as it currently applies to all other utilities in Texas — nothing more and nothing less. Claims counter to this are false,” the company's statement said.
The company also said it's proposing several “protections that keep Oncor financially secure,” even if they ultimately look different from what’s in place now.
If the commission rejects Hunt's plan or adds major stipulations, Energy Future could be thrust back into bankruptcy negotiations that cost it some $1 million each day in legal fees.
Disclosure: AARP is a corporate sponsor of The Texas Tribune. Oncor and Energy Future Holdings were corporate sponsors of the Tribune in 2012. A complete list of Texas Tribune donors and sponsors can be viewed here.

Male European starlings—small, greenish-black birds with a hint of iridescence—may not be much to look at. But they do like to add a little flourish to their nests: fresh herbs. Originally considered a strategy for attracting a mate, the use of aromatics in nest building is now thought to have an additional role in keeping baby starlings healthy.
“People have proposed that the birds add the herbs to their nests because they improve the fitness of their offspring,” says Juan Vicente Gallego Rubalcaba, a biologist at Rey Juan Carlos University in Madrid who studies the adaptive strategies of birds. Indeed, studies have shown that starlings raised in herbed dwellings tend to fare better—having fewer parasites and weighing more—than youngsters brought up in nonherbed nests.
What researchers haven’t been able to pinpoint is how exactly the herbs exert an influence over baby birds’ health. To answer this...
To get to the bottom of the mystery, Gwinner recently set up an experiment to test another hypothesis: that the herbs improve offspring health by keeping eggs in the nest warm. Herbs might provide direct thermal benefits through improved insulating properties, the team reasoned, or through heat produced by decomposition of the material, keeping the eggs toasty while parent birds are out of the nest.
During the 2006 and 2007 mating seasons, Gwinner and her colleagues attached 53 bird boxes to trees near Ammersee, watched males build nests, and waited for the first clutches of eggs to be laid. Once the eggs in the nests were ready for incubation, the researchers swapped out the original nests with 36 artificial ones. Half of these contained herbs, such as hogweed, cow parsley, and goutweed, and half were made of just dry grass to act as controls. Gwinner’s team also added a “dummy” egg—a disguised temperature sensor—to each nest to record the eggs’ temperatures for roughly 13 days, the length of the incubation period. From the egg temperatures, the team could infer when the starling parents left the nest, when they came back, and how long they sat on their eggs.
The dummy eggs in the herby nests did log higher average temperatures than those in the plain nests over the course of the study. But temperatures fell at the same rate in the parents’ absence, suggesting that the change was not due to physical insulation by the nest. Instead, the egg temperature data indicated that parents in herbed nests spent more time sitting on their eggs—at least 15 minutes longer per day compared with birds in nests lacking the aromatics. They also left the nest less often, at least early in the incubation period, and made shorter excursions outside (Proc R Soc B, 285:20180376, 2018).
The results show that parental behavior, not insulation, is behind the higher temperature in nests that incorporate herby materials. “I think that the volatiles of the nest herbs acted as a tranquilizer,” Gwinner says. “Parents sat more quietly on the eggs, nest temperatures dropped less often below critical thresholds, so the eggs and the embryos [within them] experienced a more-constant and higher temperature.”
I think that the volatiles of the nest herbs acted as a tranquilizer.
Max Planck Institute for Ornithology
Hints from these experiments and others also suggest that nest herbs affect the internal development of the eggs before laying, particularly the concentration of androgens in each yolk. In a previous study, Gwinner and her colleagues collected and calculated the quantity of herbs male birds had added to the nests and then measured yolk testosterone. “We found a positive correlation of yolk testosterone and the amount of green nest material,” Gwinner says, explaining that the presence of herbs in the nest may somehow induce females to increase yolk testosterone concentration in their eggs during development. Higher concentrations of testosterone, as well as increased temperatures, could have influenced nestling growth in the experiment.
Rubalcaba, who was not involved in the study, notes that adding aromatic green plants is clearly good for the offspring. Gwinner’s finding of improved egg incubation might not be the only factor to boost the health of the baby birds in herbed nests, he says.
It’s possible that herbs might also protect the immune systems of the parent birds, notes Michel Raymond, an evolutionary biologist at the Institute of Evolutionary Sciences in Montpellier, France, who has previously studied birds’ herb use but was not involved in this study. Although Gwinner’s team had earlier found no evidence that the herbs affected parasitic load, the authors note in the current paper that the greater heating of eggs in herbed nests could prevent bacteria from growing on the parents, keeping them healthier. If so, “the energy saved (the immune system is costly) could be invested parentally,” Raymond writes in an email to The Scientist. If the parents are healthier, they can invest more energy in caring for the chicks, making them fitter in the long run.

→ Text, Regie
Jan Koslowski, born in Rostock in 1987 and raised in Berlin, is a director, author and actor. He studied theatre directing at the Akademie für Darstellende Kunst Baden-Württemberg and the Zurich University of the Arts and theology at the Humboldt University in Berlin.

Are you interested in sponsorship engagement? Are you unsure if sponsorship is the right avenue for your company? Then The Brand Fans are here to help. We provide our clients with quality advice about the benefits of sponsorship engagement and help organise sponsorship deals that will be beneficial for everyone involved.
Sponsorship has become an important part of the way for brands to expand and increase their reputation across society. Here at The Brand Fans, we specialise in offering professional and strategic sponsorship expertise, working for the benefit of all out clients. No matter what sponsorship engagement you’re aiming for, we can help you get there.
What are the Benefits of Sponsorship?
There are a number of benefits to investing in sponsorships, particularly if you’re looking to expand your customer base. Here at The Brand Fans we will create a distinctive model based on your business desires for sponsorship engagement, which we can use to create a plan to boost your sponsorship and make the most out of your opportunities. If you’re still unsure if sponsorship is the right choice for you and your business, then here are a few reasons why you will benefit from increased sponsorship engagement.
By agreeing to sponsor an event or TV show, you will have your brand visuals placed in the view of a larger audience, one that might not have heard of your business. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to have featured ads, signs, and radio spots at the event to boost your brand's recognition. This is why choosing the right company for sponsorship engagement is so important. Having the wrong sponsorship will end up showing your brand to a disinterested audience, which will do little more than waste you money. Here at The Brand Fans, we help you avoid such a situation, connecting you with events that will introduce to an audience that works for your sponsorship engagement.
This is perhaps one of the most commonly understood reasons for investing in sponsorships. Through sponsorship engagements, your potential customers gain a particular perspective of your business. It is well known that most members of the public are turned-off by shabby looking businesses with poor branding, as it doesn’t inspire trust or the expectation for quality products and services. By investing in sponsorships engagement, you not only reveal your brand to a large audience, but you also present yourself as a reliable and reputable business that cares enough about the community to invest in sponsorships. This can be invaluable to your business because public perception is key.
Want to Work with The Brand Fans?
If you’re interested in finding out more about how we can help you to achieve your potential through sponsorship engagement, then don’t hesitate to get in contact with us.

Simone over at InterNetX conducted an interview with Sophie Pieck from Sedo. They discussed things like, an Inside look at the domain aftermarket, Forecasting future trends and Appraisals to name a few.
From the Interview:
What are the major trends and challenges in the domain aftermarket that businesses and domain resellers should be aware of?
The most influential trends domain resellers should keep an eye on in the coming months are AI, renewable energies and voice search. Domains or endings related to these topics will be in greater demand.
Those who want to continue to focus on short and descriptive domains in combination with the most common endings are always pursuing a good strategy. Topics such as crypto or NFTs will be less relevant. This brings us to the challenges. There are always short-lived trends, such as investing in domains with the keyword “meta,” which then cool down again after a certain period of time. In the worst-case scenario, you can be left sitting on your portfolio if you focus too much on temporary trends.
We recommend securing a few assets first and then testing how demand develops. Anyone involved in the domain name business needs to have perseverance. It is not unusual to sell a domain only after eight years. But the profit margin is very high.
From a business perspective, the availability of good domains could become problematic. More and more brands are getting their desired domain for the reasons mentioned above and are spending more in order to be truly distinctive. The more these perfect ultra-premium domains are in use, the more difficult it will be for other brands to get their hands on them.
Geopolitical events and economic influences pose a further challenge. This has been demonstrated in recent years, which brought several crises. People did not have ready access to liquid financial resources and higher interest rates meant getting money or investing large sums was more challenging. This has had an impact on the purchasing power of domains. We will see how this develops in 2024.

Have you ever heard of the game Two Truths and a Lie? It’s a game where each person shares three statements about herself, but only two are true. The other people in the group try to guess which statement is the lie.
I’m a pro at this game because I have a secret weapon. The key is having one really outrageous truth that sounds like a lie. My truth is that “my parents were at the circus when I was born,” and since people assume that my parents probably weren’t carnies, they assume that’s my lie.
My parents really were at the circus when I was born. I’m sure they were having a great time with my older brother, but I was at the hospital . . . being born.
The explanation: I was adopted at birth.
The adoption agency my parents used had a policy that if a sibling was old enough, he could go back with the caseworker and actually carry the child out to the parents. So my brother, Jeremy, carried me out to my parents. I did not look exactly like a Gerber baby. I had been delivered with forceps that left a slight indentation on one side of my face and temporarily pinched a nerve, which made my mouth hang down on one side. But when my brother carried me out in his 6-year-old arms, he presented me to my parents and said, “Isn’t she pretty? Doesn’t she look just like me?”
For me, being adopted is a picture of God’s total sovereign control over all of the specific details he lovingly orchestrates in our lives. Over time, I have come to recognize a theme in my life of what I call ridiculous grace.
I’m talking about the times God intervenes in our lives in such flagrant, extreme ways. He interrupts the logical order of things, and turns everything upside down in the best way possible. He took me from being an unplanned pregnancy, to being a much-wanted “chosen child.”
And there’s the gospel—things were going along one way, but God intervened, and changed everything, because he’s God and he’s good and sovereign.
When God adopts us into his family, it’s a picture of what Christ has done to come and save us and bring us to the Father. And when Christ, our elder brother, presents us to his Father he says, “Isn’t she pretty, doesn’t she look just like me?” The Father loves and accepts us because of what Christ has done on our behalf.
In the past few years, my experience of adoption has taken on new meaning in a lot of wonderful ways. Watching my brother and sister-in-law adopt my nephew, Nate, and seeing how he is so clearly a part of our family since before the foundation of the world, I “get it” on a whole new level. I had the immense privilege of going to the final court appointment when Nate was legally adopted as their child. That is the ceremony after the first few months when a judge pronounces that the adopted child is legally yours.
When the judge was finishing the proceedings, he said, “When I drop this gavel, it will be just as if Nate had been born to you.” I felt like I was in the inner circle with Nate and knew what he would one day know, that the judge spoke the truth, and that it had been that way since long before the gavel dropped.
And as I watched my brother, his eyes welling up with tears, hold his now-legal son, I knew that it is great to be right with the judge, but it is so much greater to be loved by the father. The one who would stop at nothing to have you as his own.
Earthly Version of God’s Gift
In the past few years, this theme of adoption has become a part of my daily professional life. Having been adopted, I’ve always assumed I had somewhat of a near-miss in that my biological parents may have considered the choice not to continue with the pregnancy. So I’ve always considered myself naturally and fully pro-life.
God faithfully provided a job for me at an organization called Heroic Media. We’re a national organization that uses mass media messaging on television, radio, the Internet and billboards to connect women in crisis with help and hope at pro-life pregnancy resource centers.
As I learned more about the circumstances surrounding so many unplanned pregnancies, I saw the hopeless nature of many of those situations. I felt called to share with women about hopeful alternatives.
It’s because someone shared with my birth mother about the option of adoption that I am alive today and had the joy of becoming a mother myself this summer. Through my pregnancy and in the moment I met my baby girl, I gained a new and deeper appreciation for the selfless love that is embodied in motherhood and particularly in adoption.
I was born out of what I imagine at times felt like a hopeless situation, but because of God’s providence in giving my biological parents the courage to give me life, I have a life defined by hope. I want other people to have that life, to see the picture of redemption and hope painted by God in Christ.
God has given us an indescribable gift in adopting us as sons and daughters. And I believe you will find that the gift of participating in the earthly version of adoption is a pretty fantastic fringe benefit.
Involved in Women’s Ministry? Add This to Your Discipleship Toolkit
We need one another. Yet we don’t always know how to develop deep relationships to help us grow in the Christian life. Younger believers benefit from the guidance and wisdom of more mature saints as their faith deepens. But too often, potential mentors lack clarity and training on how to engage in discipling those they can influence.
Whether you’re longing to find a spiritual mentor or hoping to serve as a guide for someone else, we have a FREE resource to encourage and equip you. In Growing Together: Taking Mentoring Beyond Small Talk and Prayer Requests, Melissa Kruger, TGC’s vice president of discipleship programming, offers encouraging lessons to guide conversations that promote spiritual growth in both the mentee and mentor.

In the Bible, 11 is an integral and significant number that has much deeper meaning and is a common symbol mentioned in divine scriptures. 11 is a good number and appears in many Biblical stories and teachings, featuring among the twelve apostles, twelve tribes of Israel and the 12 gates of Heaven.
11 has strong relevance to Christian faith, and is one of the most revered numbers in the Bible. The number 11 symbolizes divine holy completion or perfection and Sacred Scripture uses the number 11 to point to God’s plan, power, and divinity.
Numerology experts believe 11 is a master number because, when added to a single digit, it has greater strength and spiritual energy than any other master number. 11 is often associated with light and angels, which represent the power of spiritual faith and insight; and Jesus, who served as one of the prophets of God and is the most important figure in Christian faith, had 11 apostles.
In the New Testament, when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, he sent his apostles to the location in groups of two each, a total of eleven. This highlights the number 11’s reference to godly power, healing, and resurrection. In the Book of Revelation, a total of 11 plagues are mentioned.
In the Bible, 11 is symbolic of the human mind, about its ability to turn darkness and evil into light, and guide us according to the will of God. Eleven helps us to distinguish between false from true divinity and awaken our spiritual selves. It also serves as a sign to help guide us, and if we trust in God, our dreams and ambitions can come true.
The number 11 is also a reminder to be obedient, consistent and self-examining on both moral and spiritual matters. It encourages us to look within ourselves and our faith, to stay focused and not waiver from the truth. 11 can help us determine if we’ve become disconnected from faith and how to remain on a righteous path.
Ultimately, the number 11 spiritual message speaks to us of patience, discipline and inner strength. Through faith and using the power of 11, we can make good moral choices and remain spiritually connected to God.
Symbolic Meaning And Perfection
The symbolic nature of 11 in the Bible reveals perfection, fulfillment, and spiritual foundation. The number 11 is referenced often in Scripture and is believed to hold a significant amount of power. 11 is indicative of readiness and activating the healer within.
Many numerologists refer to 11 as the master number, a number of divine proportions, strength, and unity that are sacred to God. This number encourages us to have faith and trust in the Universe and its will for us.
11 is about the complete vertical unison of the physical and spiritual planes and helps us use the power of spiritual strength to create positive changes. As 11 signifies complete spiritual unity, it is often associated with spiritual enlightenment, divine protection and sacred spiritual connections.
The number 11 also serves as a reminder of our collective spiritual responsibility to maintain faith and develop our spiritual connection with God. It is also a reminder that good things take time and it is necessary to stay patient and take one step at a time.
The combination of the dual numbers 1 and 1 in the number 11 represent two aspects of the same thing that reveal a powerful truth when united. The number 11 can remind us to stay focused and diligent in our efforts, and soon the rewards will come.
Light, Belief, And Foundation
The number 11 is associated with strength and bravery and brings a message of illumination, faith, and trust in the Universe. This number symbolizes the light of enlightenment that allows us to see the truth beyond physicality and come closer to the will of God.
In life, when the number 11 appears, it is often a sign to remain grounded in the faith and take the path of righteousness. We should have faith that our belief in an ultimate higher power will move mountains, and our prayers will be answered.
When the number 11 appears in our life it can also be a sign to remain strong in our beliefs, remain focused on our dreams, and never lose faith. Knowing that God is greater than any problem, we should believe that a better future is possible.
11 reminds us that, no matter how difficult life’s circumstances may be, we never lose sight of our divine purpose. It encourages spiritual practices and helps to remind of our spiritual mission in life.
Godl has the power to bring good out of any situation and help us to achieve the impossible. No matter what the struggles, one can always put trust in the sacred power of 11 to lead us towards the light of faith.
Divine Assistance And Support
The number 11 is often used in the Bible to symbolize divine assistance and support from God. This number is thought to bring plentiful blessings from the heavens, and serve as a reminder that God is our ultimate protector.
In the Bible, the number 11 is mentioned in the story of Jesus and his apostles, with Jesus having 11 disciples. This serves as a reminder of Jesus bearing 11 of his disciples in prayer, uniting them in spirit and imploring the divine and Holy Spirit being to be with each of them.
In the New Testament, it is written that Jesus healed eleven lepers. This is an example of the compassionate divinity of Jesus and also of the number 11 being a symbol of healing from all diseases and pains.
The number 11 is also associated with the twelve minor prophets of the Bible, who are thought to have received divine help and direction to aid them in their works for God. Therefore, 11 can be seen as a reminder of our interconnectedness with God and how we can be guided by the divine.
When 11 appears in the Bible, it is an indication of faith and trust in God’s grace, miracles, and ways. It is a reminder to be faithful, no matter what trials and tribulations we may face. We can be sure that 11, as a number of divine assistance and protection, will be with us no matter what struggles we come to in life.
In summary, 11 is a significant number in the Bible that carries spiritual power and meaning. It encourages us to seek the divine within and to remain faithful, sustained by the promise of divine assistance and grace. 11 serves as a reminder to trust in God, have faith in the Divine and receive blessings from the heavens.

While a good percentage of our lives are spent working (probably too high a percentage), we all have things that we enjoy doing when we’re not at work. Hobbies, pastimes, interests, or diversions; whatever we call them, we all enjoy a little downtime every now and then. Whether they involve time with people we love or time alone to ourselves, it’s these little enjoyments that help to keep us going and make the daily grind of our 9-5 easier to take.
Regardless of what we do to decompress, whether it’s hunting, fishing, running, woodworking or something else, each of these pastimes involve some level of skill. Each of them is a craft that takes time to develop. Most of us didn’t bag a 10-point the first time we tried to draw a bow. Most of us probably didn’t even make it into the water the first time we tried to cast. We didn’t win the Boston Marathon the first time we hit the pavement and we likely lost a small piece of a finger (or three) the first time we tried turning wood on a lathe.
The point is that each of these talents took time to develop. We got better at them as we worked on our craft. If we stuck with it and practiced hard, we likely became better and better at each of these specific skills. We became a better shot, developed a more precise casting motion, established a more efficient stride, or honed our processing skills on that lathe with each session.
We worked hard to achieve the level of expertise that we were comfortable with, and likely practice often to make sure we’re able to maintain the talents necessary to succeed in our chosen pastime. Whether it’s target shooting or getting in a few miles on the treadmill, we go to great lengths to make sure that we’re always on top of our game. After all, what’s the point in doing it if we’re not going to do it right?
It’s easy for us to understand that we’ve got to put in the work if we want to get better at one of our hobbies. We know that to become a better hunter, we’ve got to practice our shot. To be a better woodworker, we’ve got to make something really ugly before we get good enough to make something beautiful. We have no problem laboring away on getting better in these areas.
Practice makes perfect, they always say.
So why should our jobs be any different?
What? Practice my job?
Unfortunately, many of us would never consider doing anything extra to better ourselves at our job. We do what we must in order to get by and we go about our lives. The thought of doing more than we have to, investing extra time and emotional energy into learning more about our job is just not something that registers on our radar.
If we’re required to do 20 hours of continuing education to keep our license renewed, then 20 hours it is. We’re looking for the quickest and easiest way to get that piece of paper that says we did our 20.
That’s it; I’m done for the year!
If we step back a bit and look at our situation from a different point of view, it can seem kind of crazy that we resist doing anything extra to get better at our job. If we stop to think about it, it’s really our career that provides us with the time and money we need to pursue those pastimes that we love so much.
Why are we so excited about putting in the hours to get better at our hobbies, while we resist investing the same amount of emotional capital when it comes to our profession?
The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.
Why shouldn’t we be just as enthusiastic about becoming the best home inspector we can be as we are in becoming the best hunter/fisherman/runner/woodworker? Why do we spend our downtime walking around Cabela’s, reading Runner’s World magazine or checking out new woodworking tools on the web, but we won’t give a second thought to checking out something that may help us to become a better home inspector?
The answer is actually pretty easy to figure out. It’s because investing the emotional labor necessary to do it is hard. It’s a whole lot easier to spend our time relaxing with our hobbies than it is to decide to work on our craft. We can easily understand it when someone practices their shot, their cast, runs a few miles or works on a new piece of furniture. What we have trouble with is trying to understand why someone would spend their “spare time” developing their home inspection skills.
I’m off of work. Why should I be thinking about work? This is my time!
It’s all too easy to justify our mindset. It’s what (almost) everyone else does too. Most people aren’t spending their spare time working on their shortcomings. They’re not trying to get better at their software. They’re not taking a course to become a better listener. They’re not reading a book on overcoming their fears or checking out websites for tips on how to get better at marketing.
Most people are not worried about becoming a better businessperson.
And, curiously enough, most businesses aren’t incredibly successful.
It’s pretty rare to find someone so committed to becoming a better businessperson that they’d invest the emotional capital needed to move the needle. It’s rare to find someone willing to invest the time and money needed to cross the threshold from average to wildly successful.
Most of us just aren’t willing to put in the work.
It’s really just that simple.
We’re still looking to our lottery ticket. We’re searching for those tips and tricks. We’re longing for the easy button.
Just like (almost) everyone else.
If you always make the right decision, the safe decision, the one most people make, you will be the same as everyone else.
Let’s stop for a moment and think about the most successful NFL quarterbacks. Whether it’s Brees, Payton, Brady, or someone else that comes to mind, they all had one thing in common. We were always seeing video of them working on their craft. Even though they were already at the top of their game, they were always practicing, always working, always doing something new and different to sharpen their skills. Most of them probably didn’t need the extra practice to operate at a high level in the game. They already possessed all the talent they needed to be good, but they always put in the extra time necessary to be great.
Most people’s businesses will move along at a steady pace, operating in that “just good enough” space. Doing what they need to survive. Making enough to get by. Never disappointing their clients, but never doing anything enough to wow them either. They’re just there; doing their job.
Providing a plain product for plain clients at a plain price.
Just like (almost) everyone else.
If we want to step out from the crowd…
If we want to do something different…
If we want to rise above our competition…
If we want to serve a higher quality clientele…
If we want to charge a higher price for a better-quality product… then we’ve got to step out onto that ledge. We’ve got to ignore the little voice in our head that’s saying we can’t, we shouldn’t or we won’t be able to do it.
Like the hunter that’s a deadly shot…
Like the fisherman who can drop his lure between two logs…
Like the runner who can push on when everyone else is hitting the wall…
Like the woodworker who’s creations sell for top dollar…
Like the quarterback who’s jersey is hanging in the rafters… if we want to be the best we’ve got to work like the best. We can’t do the minimum amount of work and expect the maximum results. We’ve got to dig deep, put in the extra work, expend that emotional labor and act like we want to be the best home inspector that we can be.
No, it’s not easy. But nothing worth having ever is.
The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.

Monday, 07 October 2024 10:32 AM [ Last Update: Monday, 07 October 2024 11:33 AM ]
By Ghadir Khumm
A year has passed since “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood”, an unprecedented Hamas-led military operation on October 7, 2023, that shocked the Israeli occupation and its Western backers and debunked the longstanding myth of the Tel Aviv regime’s military and intelligence invincibility.
The legitimate military operation that came in response to decades of Israeli aggression against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip and occupied West Bank was followed by the illegitimate and indiscriminate Israeli carpet bombing of the coastal Palestinian territory.
These horrific crimes took place in various civilian spaces in the Gaza Strip, including homes, schools, hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, refugee camps, shelters, mosques, and churches.
Noting was spared by the genocidal regime in Tel Aviv with full patronage of the United States.
Over the past year, we have been witness to the genocide of the Palestinian people—a tragedy authorized by the world, dehumanized by Western powers and enabled by Arab Zionist leaders.
Yet amidst this devastation, we have also witnessed the resilience of resistance fighters in Palestine and the dignity of martyrdom demonstrated by those on the frontlines of this war.
Our courageous freedom fighters have valiantly confronted the Zionist war machine, and it is essential to acknowledge the role of the Axis of Resistance, from Lebanon to Iraq to Yemen, which has not only protected the Palestinian people but also conveyed a powerful message to the world.
This message is directed not only at the Zionist regime and Muslim nations that maintain friendly ties with it but also at the global community: freedom is neither a distant dream nor an unattainable ideal.
For those born into and shaped by these atrocities, liberation is not merely a goal. It is a lifelong commitment to a cause worth fighting for. It is a way of life for those who believe in truth and justice.
According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, since October 7, 2023, nearly 42,000 have been martyred, most of them children and women, and 97,100 others have been injured.
These are the official figures. The unofficial toll is much higher as thousands continue to be trapped under the rubble and unaccounted for.
The Israeli occupation knows no methods other than brutality and violence. An entity founded on the mass graves of children, propped up by British and American funding, has no conception of humanity.
This genocidal project persists largely because of deeply ingrained Orientalist perspectives that frame the occupation of Palestine. Palestinians, like the Lebanese who have endured Israeli massacres, have been so dehumanized that they are often likened to animals.
On October 9, 2023, Israeli military affairs minister Yoav Gallant declared, “I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel—everything is closed.”
He further stated, “We are fighting human animals, and we are acting accordingly.”
In any other context, such dehumanizing, hateful rhetoric directed at the illegitimate Zionist entity would trigger worldwide anger and outrage. However, the Orientalist framework described by Edward Said, which positions “us” against “them,” prevails in Gaza today, unquestioned and unchallenged.
The Arab man is depicted as backward, while the colonizer—armed and funded by the US and UK—is projected as the hero, steeped in the ideology of white saviorism.
The Palestinian resistance has not only had to dismantle stereotypes while fighting for their land through armed struggle, but they also have had to challenge deeply entrenched Orientalist narratives.
The West continues to perpetuate these views, framing Palestinians as “less than” while portraying themselves as superior. The resistance is engaged in multiple forms of warfare: physical, emotional, and psychological.
Moreover, it is a cultural battle—one of pride and identity—where Palestinians must push back against the racism and prejudice that devalue their lives compared to Western lives.
This pattern extends to Lebanon, where Israeli war crimes have sparked discussions of invasion under the guise of so-called “self-defense.”
The truth is, without the resistance movement, Lebanon would have never liberated itself from Israel’s brutal occupation. It was only through the leadership of Martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and the Hezbollah resistance fighters that Lebanon achieved liberation in 2000.
Iran serves as another powerful example. The Islamic Republic, a nation that overthrew the Shah—an American and Israeli puppet—during the 1979 Revolution, continues to face Orientalist perceptions.
Despite celebrating this victory, Iran has been portrayed as backward—not only in terms of religion but also due to its adherence to Islamic traditions and values, which are often incomprehensible to a West steeped in liberal individualism.
The concept of a nation guided by modesty and ethics is foreign to Western imagination.
Today, the Axis of Resistance fights on all fronts, including the battle against racism and Orientalism. The West continues to project toxic narratives onto our people, but this war is long and demands patience.
It is crucial to recognize that the same crimes the US committed in Iraq in 2003, justified through similar narratives, are being replicated today in Gaza and Lebanon—under the guise of white saviorism and the Orientalist ideologies entrenched in the West.
The Palestinian resistance exemplifies its struggle against oppressive forces across various social levels.
While we honor our martyrs, both in Gaza and Lebanon, it is equally important to acknowledge the significant achievements the Operation Al-Aqsa Flood brought to the Palestinian people one year ago.
Breaking the formidable chains imposed by an illegitimate entity, particularly one backed by the American regime is no small feat. However, it is not impossible.
This struggle reflects dedication and pride. For freedom to be realized, people must actively resist.
As the icon of anti-Zionist resistance, Martyr Nasrallah declared in his last speech, “We will complete this path, even if we are all killed, even if we are all martyred, even if our homes are destroyed over our heads, we will not abandon the option of Islamic resistance.”
This promise is upheld by the freedom fighters, supported by nations committed to liberty, and dedicated to these martyrs. They are determined to continue Martyr Nasrallah’s path.
The road to a liberated Palestine is indeed long, but it is not impossible. Today, on the first anniversary of the great Oct. 7 operation, we honor our great martyrs for defending the Palestinian cause and our lands against Western colonialism, imperialism, liberalism, and the evils of Zionism.

Cash-strapped Kumho Asiana Group might be close to selling Asiana Airlines, after its restructuring plan was rejected by its creditors, industry sources said on April 12.
A local media outlet reported that the group has decided to sell Asiana Airlines, a day after its creditors, including the state-run Korea Development Bank, refused to give an additional 500 billion won ($440 million) in financial assistance. However, a spokesperson said the group has not decided to sell the country’s No. 2 airline and is still working on revising the revamp plan.
The creditors on April 11 rejected Kumho Asiana’s plan, saying the rescue plan was not sufficient to regain the trust of the market and would further burden creditors. On April 9, the group submitted a restructuring plan including a pledge to sell off the airline if it fails to meet creditors’ demands in three years.
When asked if the company plans to submit a revised revamp plan, Han Chang-Soo, CEO of the airline, told reporters after attending the funeral of Korean Air Chairman Cho Yang-ho, “We’re faithfully negotiating (with creditors). We will do our best."
Kumho Asiana asks for W500b funding, agrees to sell off assets
Kumho Asiana creditors demand asset sell-off, solid loan repayment plan
The revised plan is likely to include a scheme to sell the airline’s subsidiaries, including Air Seoul, Air Busan and Asiana IDT, but industry sources say the sale of Asiana Airlines is the most feasible way to satisfy creditors.
Creditors are already considering collecting Kumho Asiana’s debts by selling the carrier if Asiana fails to come up with a self-rescue plan.
The sources said the air carrier could attract major conglomerates such as SK, Hanhwa and Lotte as potential buyers.
They also said creditors would prefer the sale of Asiana Airlines -- which has Kumho Industrial as its largest shareholder with a 33.47 stake worth 300 billion won -- as that would prevent Park Sam Koo and his family members from having influence on management.
Park, who stepped down as CEO of the carrier last month, holds a 45.3 percent stake in Kumho E&C.
Asiana owes financial institutions 3.2 trillion won, and it has to repay 1 trillion won of the total this year, according to the company.

An English tea party was held at the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens to honour a Londoner who initiated a scholarship scheme which has enabled 100 young gardeners from all over the world to work at the gardens over the past 30 years.
Several former scholars were at the tea party, recognising the contribution of Jose Dent, founder and chair of the British Friends of the Botanical Gardens.
Scholars supported by the British Friends spend up to one year at the gardens, learning about new plants and picking up skills and knowledge in a climate and working environment quite different from their own.
Many graduates have gone on to key positions in the horticultural industry worldwide.
Among ex-scholars at the tea were Andrew Jackson, head of Wakehurst Place, Kew Gardens’ country seat; Neil Miller, head gardener at Hever Castle in Kent and Chris Warren, who headed the gardening team at the Jerusalem Botanical for several years before returning to the UK to establish a gardening company.
Katy Elton, a current UK Friends scholar, said: “Having an experience and understanding of horticulture in a different climate was one of the main things that drew me to the JBG scholarship and it is certainly delivering on that.
“It really is life and career changing for someone starting out in horticulture and I know that the gardens really appreciate the extra help that we can offer.”

Firebrand speakers at a external socialist conference hosted by University College London (UCL) brazenly supported Hamas and Hezbollah and glorified attacks on Israel in an apparent breach of the Terrorism Act, the JC can reveal.
University authorities asked police to investigate after this newspaper sent them a recording of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) event, which featured a keynote speaker saying he backed Hezbollah “unconditionally” and cheered whenever it destroyed an Israeli tank.
The audience could be heard enthusiastically applauding these remarks.
Another speaker was recorded describing the October 7 massacre by Hamas as a “jailbreak”, while a third said: “We stand behind the Palestinian resistance… formations like Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad.”
Hamas, Hezbollah and Palestinian Islamic Jihad are all proscribed organisations under the Terrorism Act 2000, which means it is an offence punishable by fines or imprisonment of up to 14 years to “invite support” or encouragement for them.
It is also an offence to “arrange, manage or assist in arranging a meeting in the knowledge that the meeting is to support… the activities of a proscribed organisation”.
The Community Security Trust (CST) welcomed the involvement of police, denouncing the conference as “toxic” and “hateful”.
SWP claimed that more than 3,000 people attended the annual conference, which has been running for 40 years and takes place over four days.
Other speakers included independent MP Jeremy Corbyn, the former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, film director Ken Loach, former MP Claudia Webbe and the Stop the War coalition leader Lindsey German. There is no suggestion that they voiced support for proscribed terrorist groups or attended any of the sessions where those views were expressed.

Some of the most inflammatory statements were made at a session on July 4 entitled “Palestine 101: A revolutionary struggle”.
The keynote speaker, self-described “revolutionary socialist” Ramsis Kilani, said: “I want to be clear in this introduction that we stand behind the Palestinian resistance and we back the resistance and Palestinians have every right to resist by any means necessary… it is astonishing how the Palestinian resistance and the armed resistance is still holding its ground in Gaza… the leading political military forces are Islamists, formations like Hamas or the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.”
Members of his audience agreed. One said the “resistance” had made “incredibly valid efforts in resisting the ongoing genocide” by destroying tanks and killing IDF officers and troops. This, they added, was “causing splits between the Israeli political and military class, which is something that is fantastic and worth celebrating”.
Another added: “The Palestinian resistance is mighty and we support it, we support it unconditionally, as Ramsis said.”
Later the same day, the Palestinian writer and physician Ghada Karmi gave a lecture entitled: “One State: the only democratic future for Palestine-Israel”.
In this she said: “What happened on October 7 was a jailbreak. It was breaking out from jail... It was somehow inevitable and lots and lots of people sympathised and understood why it was that Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other ordinary people, ordinary civilians in Gaza, just went through the fence and ran off and did various things.”
She did not say whether she approved of those “various things”, which may imply the rapes, murders and abductions perpetrated during the massacre. But she also spoke at an anti-Israel protest organised by NHS staff at UCL in December, where she was filmed saying “what you saw on October 7 was breaking out from the cage of Gaza by a resistance movement”.
At a session held on July 6 entitled “Can the Axis of Resistance Liberate Palestine?”, the main speaker, Lebanon-based journalist Simon Assaf, said: “Just in case there are any questions, I unconditionally support Hezbollah. A lot of people coming into Lebanon think I’m too soft, but I support when they fire, when they blow up an Israeli tank, I cheer. I want to be absolutely clear, I stand with the resistance.”
Here too audience members concurred. One said: “We side with Hezbollah when they fend off Zionist attacks”. Another added: “We do stand with national liberation movements, we do want the destruction of the Israeli state, so we’re not going to sit by and kind of wag our finger at Hezbollah or Hamas.” A third said: “We appreciate the resistance when the resistance is real, when the resistance is giving a bloody nose to the Zionist entity. Anyone who will go and do that is doing something helpful… we have to be able to support resistance that is real, that is material, concrete, military resistance.”
A UCL spokesperson told the JC: “We are horrified by these reports of appalling and unacceptable comments made at the Marxism festival and have reported these to the police. We utterly condemn all forms of antisemitism and have made clear to our community that this will not be tolerated at UCL.
“This was an external event run by an external organiser, the Socialist Workers Party, who booked space at UCL and was not organised or endorsed by the university. All external bookings go through our relevant processes and are required to comply with our booking terms and Code of Practice on Freedom of Speech. We are urgently investigating a number of incidents that allegedly took place at the Marxism Festival on our property in breach of these terms. While this investigation is under way, we will not be hosting any future events by the organisers.”
A CST spokesperson said: “This kind of outright support for Hamas and Hezbollah, including approval of the October 7 atrocities, is likely to be illegal and certainly should have no place at a British university given the surge in campus antisemitism in recent months.
“The Socialist Workers Party has stirred up anti-Jewish extremism for decades through their support for terrorism and calls for Israel to be destroyed, and similar hateful comments and speeches are made every year at their Marxism Conference. It is time for UCL and other universities to refuse to host this thoroughly toxic, hateful event in future, and we support the call on police to investigate whether any crimes were committed at this year’s conference.”
The SWP and its speakers did not respond to requests for comment.

RBA leaves official interest rates on pause
The Reserve Bank has left official interest rates unchanged for the third meeting in a row.
The bank’s decision on Tuesday had been widely anticipated, amid forecasts borrowers will have to wait until at least late 2024 for any cuts.
The RBA announcement follows a two-day meeting discussing the overall state of the economy and progress on inflation, which at 4.1 per cent remains above the 2-3 per cent target range.
Earlier on Tuesday, a Reuters poll of economists found all 40 expected the official cash rate to stay on hold at 4.35 per cent in March.
While the decision was widely predicted, most focus has been on the tone the board will strike in its post-meeting statement and of governor Michele Bullock in the media conference afterwards for insights into the bank’s likely next move.
“Returning inflation to target within a reasonable timeframe remains the board’s highest priority. This is consistent with the RBA’s mandate for price stability and full employment,” the post-meeting statement said.
“The board needs to be confident that inflation is moving sustainably towards the target range. To date, medium-term inflation expectations have been consistent with the inflation target and it is important that this remains the case.
“While recent data indicate that inflation is easing, it remains high. The board expects that it will be some time yet before inflation is sustainably in the target range.”
At its previous meeting in February, the board kept its options open to hike further. Economists broadly agree the next move will be down, although there is no clear consensus on when the cuts will start.
“The board is not ruling anything in or out. The board will rely upon the data and the evolving assessment of risks,” Tuesday’s statement said.
“The board will continue to pay close attention to developments in the global economy, trends in domestic demand, and the outlook for inflation and the labour market. The board remains resolute in its determination to return inflation to target.”
The big four banks are leaning towards cuts in the second half of 2024, with Commonwealth Bank and Westpac pencilling in a September start while NAB and ANZ forecast easing to begin in November.
ANZ head of Australian economics Adam Boyton said there was a risk cuts would start sooner than its base case as the latest data suggested inflation was cooling rapidly.
“That said, we think the Reserve Bank will be cautious in declaring victory against inflation and may prefer to wait until the annual change in inflation has come back within the band, which we expect in the September quarter 2024 for headline inflation,” he said.
Boyton said the RBA may wait to watch the consumer reaction to income tax cuts that kick in on July 1, as well as the influence of any additional spending in the May federal budget.
The RBA board does not meet again until May 6.

The Confederation of Co-operative Housing has congratulated Labour on its election win and called on it to support the co-op housing sector as part of its pledge to double the UK’s co-operative economy.
It added: “CCH looks forward to establishing a collaborative relationship with our new government so that we can work together to help drive growth and change in the housing sector.”
The apex’s CEO Blase Lambert has written a letter to the housing minister Matthew Pennycook setting out his policy wishlist.
This includes building on the efforts of Jonathan Reynolds – now business secretary – to create a legal form of co-operative tenure through a Co-operative Housing Act, which would place co-operative tenants on the same secure footing as other social tenants.
CCH also wants the Localism Act amended to create a ‘presumption in favour’ of disposing of public land and buildings to co-operatives. “This will create the opportunity for the co-operative movement to develop homes and community businesses,” wrote Lambert.
And it wants ministers to Invest in a financial intermediary to provide access to low-cost capital finance for co-operative housing organisations that are currently priced out of the market by the risk appetite of lenders and institutional investors.
“Alongside growing the co-operative housing movement we also want to see the growth of tenants‘ rights in social housing,” Lambert added.
This would involve amending the Right to Manage Regulations to include a Right to Manage for housing associations tenants, placing housing association tenants on the same footing as local authority tenants; and “investing to build on the success of the Four Million Homes programme – this will ensure that social housing tenants continue to have access to the information that Four Million Homes has provided over the last few years about rights and responsibilities.”
CCH also wants the government to support the formation of “an independent Resident Voice to amplify
residents’ concerns nationally and locally – this should ensure that all residents’ voices are heard by policy makers and landlords”.
“We are a ready partner for your government,” said Lambert, “and would be pleased to meet at your earliest convenience to discuss your programme for housing and how our policy actions can help drive growth and change in the housing sector.”

Hiring Foreign Workers? Ten questions to ask first
Employers continue to be challenged with finding people with the right skills. One solution: hire foreign workers. Ask yourself these questions to help determine whether hiring a foreign worker could help you.
1. How quickly do you need them?
How quickly you need workers affects whether hiring a foreign worker is a viable solution at all and, if it is, the best immigration program to pursue. Canada continues to experience immigration processing backlogs, but the actual processing time for specific programs varies widely. For example, the processing time for workers for non-essential occupations from certain visa-requiring countries is over eight months. Port-of-entry applications for the intra-company transfer of executives or senior managers and specialized knowledge personnel from visa-exempt countries are processed immediately.
2. How long do you need them for?
If your goal is to hire foreign workers on an indefinite, long-term basis, you’ll likely have to follow the typical process. This includes obtaining a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), usually a time-consuming process, to confirm you’ve unsuccessfully attempted to hire Canadians and Permanent Residents. But if your goal is to hire a worker for a limited time, exceptions to the typical process might be available. For example, if you want to hire a foreign worker in a “high skilled position” for 15 or 30 days, they could be eligible for a work permit exemption under the Global Skills Strategy.
3. What position do you need to fill?
Depending on the position, you might be able to access specialized or expedited immigration programs. For example, certain positions are eligible for a Global Talent Stream LMIA with a two-week expedited process for the LMIA and the work permit. Other positions are LMIA exempt under international trade agreements such as the CUSMA and the CETA. Or you might be able to use the Francophone Mobility Program, a specialized LMIA-exempt stream allowing foreign workers to live and work anywhere in Canada outside Quebec if French is their habitual language of daily use.
4. Where are you recruiting from?
This affects the time it’ll take to get the foreign worker into Canada, the available immigration programs, the process you must follow, and the costs.
· If you’re recruiting workers that already work in a foreign location of your company, there are LMIA-exempt processes for intra-company “transfers” of employees to a position in an executive, senior managerial, or specialized knowledge capacity.
· Foreign workers from visa-requiring countries (for example, the Philippines and India) must apply for a work permit at the Canadian embassy in their country of residence; processing times vary from two weeks to more than eight months.
· Foreign workers from visa-exempt countries (for example, the US and the UK) can apply for a work permit at the Canadian border (port of entry). Applicants must still meet the eligibility requirements for a work permit and all admissibility rules before they’re allowed into Canada, but the processing is virtually immediate.
5. What immigration programs are available to Newfoundland and Labrador employers?
The available programs affect the timing, process, and costs. Newfoundland and Labrador employers can access the following:
· Federal programs, such as the Temporary Foreign Worker Program and the Express Entry Program, are available for positions anywhere in Canada,
· The Atlantic Immigration Program is aregional program available for positions only within Atlantic Canada.
· Newfoundland and Labrador’s Provincial Nominee Program, which has a number of streams each with different eligibility criteria, is available for positions only within Newfoundland and Labrador.
6. Are you already posting job ads domestically?
Whether you’re already advertising to fill the position(s) domestically affects the time needed to recruit and hire a foreign worker. With some exceptions, to obtain an LMIA, you must typically advertise the position domestically, with very specific criteria such as mandatory content and a minimum duration of the posting. If you haven’t already started advertising domestically, you’ll be required to start that process from scratch. But if you’ve already started advertising domestically and if the advertising content meets the LMIA requirements, you’re that much farther ahead in the process.
7. How involved are you willing to be with the foreign worker (and their family)?
The extent to which you’re willing to be involved with the foreign worker(s), and in some cases their family, helps determine the most suitable immigration program. Some programs, such as the Atlantic Immigration Program, are employer-driven and require significant employer involvement. Some programs, like the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Programs, are applicant-driven and don’t require the same level of employer involvement.
8. Do you have the administrative bench strength?
You’ll need administrative resources to manage the foreign worker recruiting and processing requirements. Employer-driven immigration programs require even greater resources. For example, the Atlantic Immigration Program requires employers to file a robust endorsement application; the Temporary Foreign Worker Program requires employers to file an extensive LMIA application. You’ll also need the resources to manage ongoing immigration law compliance after you’ve hired a foreign worker. For example, Employment and Social Development Canada can randomly audit employers for compliance: the non-compliance consequences can be significant for you and for the foreign worker.
9. How many foreign workers are you recruiting?
The number of foreign workers you want to hire also helps determine the immigration program that best fits your needs. Some, including the Atlantic Immigration Program and some provincial nominee programs, have lower or no per-worker processing fees so these could be best for hiring multiple foreign workers. Others that require an LMIA have higher processing fees (currently $1,000 per worker) and thus overall greater cost. The number of foreign workers also affects the administrative resources necessary to manage recruiting, processing, and legal compliance demands.
10. What’s your budget?
Ensure you can cover the costs of recruiting and hiring foreign workers. For example, you might be required to pay government processing fees that vary depending on the immigration program and that increase with the number of foreign workers you’re hiring. Expect to also incur legal fees, though these could be reduced if you’re hiring multiple foreign workers.
Ask yourself these ten questions and you’ll be well-prepared to discuss with your immigration lawyer whether hiring a foreign worker is an appropriate strategy for your business.

The ocean is overwhelmingly abused every single day. Marine wildlife is slaughtered in bloody massacres, the water develops oily films and Coral Reefs are trashed. All of this due to the careless human race.
Humans are at fault for the majority of the negative disruption of the Ocean environment, however, we can still reverse our actions and save the ocean. Here are eight simple tasks that you can do in your own life that will positively impact the immense water and the creatures that live within it.
Reduce the amount of energy you use.
GiphyReduce your carbon footprint. Walk when you can. Ride your bike. Use eco friendly appliances in your home. Take quicker showers.
Ditch the plastic.
GiphyUse reusable water bottles and try to avoid straws and plastic utensils when possible. Most importantly, reduce, reuse and recycle.
Participate in beach cleanup days.
GiphyVolunteer at beach cleanup days. Check in with your local beach and see what types of cleanup days they have to offer. If no cleanup days are scheduled, try to make one. If you do not live by a beach, you can always donate to beach cleanup organizations.
Eat sustainable seafood.
GiphyWhen on vacation, avoid Marine wildlife purchases.
GiphyTry not to buy coral jewelry, shark teeth, baby sharks, turtle shells, etc. Purchasing these items supports the industry that kills sea creatures for the use of human interest.
Jump on board and join/support ocean activism groups.
GiphyGroups such as Ocean Conservancy, Ocean Preservation Society, Project AWARE, Marine Conservation Institute and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society all have a mission to conserve the ocean. If you support these groups, you automatically support the ocean.

An Easy Guide for Anyone Who’s Still Wondering How the Heck Bitcoin Works
Bitcoin: a confusing, controversial currency whose name has made the rounds across the internet in the past few years. Today, it’s as popular as ever and is booming in price, although prices are highly volatile. Just this week, bitcoin reached a peak value of $11,377.33 on Nov. 29, then lost over a fifth of its value the next day.
Many, though, are still unclear about what its purpose is. What can digital currency buy, what gives it such high value, and how does its price shoot up so high all of the time?
What Is Bitcoin, and What’s All the Buzz About?
Bitcoin is a digital currency created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group under the alias Satoshi Nakamoto. The creator(s) capped its circulation at 21 million bitcoins when they introduced the currency. At the time of this writing, approximately 16.7 million bitcoins were in circulation, according to bitcoinblockhalf.com.
Bitcoin is completely digital, so there’s no such thing as a physical bitcoin you can hand to your BFF after they spot you during your lunch date.
Wait. So it’s internet money?
That’s one way to think of it. You can send bitcoin electronically and transfer it to anyone around the world. Its network doesn’t exist on the internet you and I use in day-to-day life, but yes, it is bought, sold and transferred via a computer network.
OK, but how?
Here’s where it gets confusing. Bitcoin is sent through a network, named… bitcoin. How original, right? Your credit card transactions might be sent through a payment network such as American Express or Mastercard. In bitcoin‘s case, payments are sent through the bitcoin network.
This network is decentralized, which means no single person or company runs it — computers do, and volunteers maintain it.
This differs from traditional currencies, which are regulated by a central bank, such as the U.S. Federal Reserve. These banks have the ability to print or withdraw money based on market fluctuations to keep it steady.
Then where does it come from?
New bitcoins are created through a process called mining, and anyone with a strong enough computer can become a miner. During this process, bitcoin miners are the resources that help verify bitcoin transactions between users all around the world.
The network cuts the amount of bitcoins generated in half about every four years. At this rate, all 21 million bitcoins will have been mined by around 2140.
If bitcoin isn’t regulated, then who is keeping track of its exchanges?
Each bitcoin transaction is associated with data; the bitcoin network then combines the data of multiple transactions to create a puzzle.
Bitcoin transfers are stored on the bitcoin network in a giant public database known as a blockchain. Think of the blockchain as a giant book of public records. To create the chain, someone has to put the blocks together — which is where miners come in.
Miners use sophisticated computer hardware and software to solve these puzzles, The Washington Post explains. By doing so, miners verify the data and make sure specific funds aren’t spent twice.
After verifying a block of transactions, the miner currently receives a reward of 12.5 bitcoins, which was worth more than $132,000 as of Dec. 1.
The reward for mining a block is cut in half for every 210,000 blocks mined, or about once every four years. It dropped from 25 bitcoins to the current 12.5 bitcoins in 2016; it’s expected to be cut in half again to 6.25 bitcoins in 2020.
Since the bitcoin network isn’t regulated, isn’t it vulnerable to hackers?
Since there are people who help maintain the network — the miners, remember? — this means they could just alter it to give them more bitcoin… right? Actually, It’s highly unlikely; the computers would recognize the change and would in all likelihood ignore it. The network is open source with a ton of developers working to improve its code and monitor changes. To date, bitcoin has never been hacked. Experts agree that’s unlikely in the short term, although that doesn’t mean it can never happen.
Makes sense. But what gives bitcoin its value?
People bid on bitcoin exchanges every day. Its price fluctuates with the number of people who bid on it. The higher the demand for bitcoin, the higher its price and perceived value. But skeptics say the fact that its value is dependent upon how many people want to buy it, and nothing tangible backing it up, is where the digital currency fails. More on that later!
How do you buy bitcoin?
You can easily buy bitcoin through platforms such as Coinbase. These platforms also act as digital wallets where you can store your bitcoin.
Coinbase allows you to purchase and exchange bitcoin with your bank account or credit card. It also converts bitcoin into your local currency and claims to keep it secure.
Why People Care So Much About Bitcoin
You can use bitcoin to purchase things anonymously, reducing the risk hackers will get access to your sensitive information. Credit or debit cards, by comparison, are usually linked to bank accounts, Social Security numbers and more.
This anonymity also makes it criminals’ payment method of choice for everything from ransom to purchasing drugs on the darknet. That said, these criminal activities make up just a small percentage of all bitcoin transactions, The New York Times reports.
Bitcoin is commonly used to save money without it losing value in countries with high inflation, like Argentina and Venezuela. It’s also popular for international money transfers, which are nearly instant.
Bitcoin exchanges are also nearly instant and usually carry fees of around 0.25%, whereas money transfers via banks take time to process and come with higher service fees.
Is There a Bitcoin ‘Bubble’?
The price of bitcoin is soaring. But does that mean we should all ditch our dollar bills and invest now?
Some people, such as famed investor Warren Buffett, argue against it saying there’s a “bitcoin bubble” that will eventually burst.
This “bubble” refers to people buying more and more bitcoin, betting its price will continue to increase. However, skeptics like Buffet say the burst will come when daily bidding and exchanges slow, which will drop its price significantly.
Buffett says Bitcoin isn’t a “value-producing asset,” meaning there isn’t anything tangible backing it. People only buy it because its price keeps increasing, and they want a piece of the pie when they cash out. It isn’t creating earnings or generating steady returns. The prices constantly fluctuate, meaning someone could lose their entire investment at any moment.
A small bitcoin bubble burst in 2013, when bitcoin prices dropped from $1,150 to under $500,
Bitcoin enthusiasts, however, argue that major fluctuations are normal for any developing system. Michael Rauchs, a cryptocurrency and blockchain expert at the Judge Business School at the University of Cambridge, told The Independent that he “would put it in the same category of revolutionary new technologies like the internet.”
“World-changing systems tend to be accompanied by bubbles in their early stages,” he said. “What’s happening now is completely normal.”
As with any investment, there is a risk –– so deciding whether to invest or not is a personal choice.

JustGiving.com website goes titsup after upgrade
Better to give than receive
Update: This story originally referred to JustGiving as a not-for-profit. It is not.
Online charity outfit JustGiving has been hit by a series of major glitches since it launched a new website last Saturday morning.
The organisation admitted deployment had been less than smooth and the site continues to have a number of “teething problems” with loading some fundraising pages and accessing user logins.
PayPal, its main payment system, is also currently out of action and won’t be available on JustGiving.com until Friday at the earliest, according to a blog post on the website.
“Although it cleared all pre-deployment testing, it encountered some problems in the live website environment. We’re working on it this week and aim to have PayPal up and running again by the end of the week,” said JustGiving’s spokeswoman Heather Bird.
Confirmation emails are also failing to reach anyone who has made a donation since the site was relaunched on Saturday.
“There’s a delay with some of these emails being sent out and we’re working on fixing it now,” explained Bird. “We’ll have it solved as soon as possible, and you can expect to receive a donation receipt by the end of this week.”
The charity's CTO Dominic Lacey told The Register that the JustGiving tech team had been "taken by surprise" when the website began to experience problems over the weekend.
"Load testing didn't accurately reflect the way it's being used in the live environment," he explained.
Lacey said the charity had taken around £600,000 per day since the website upgrade was applied, which is around 20 per cent down on JustGiving's average daily donations.
He said at present the organization had seven outstanding technical issues to deal with on its site, with one remaining urgent, two high priority and the rest marked as medium or low.
JustGiving's SOA system hadn't responded well to the upgrade, according to Lacey. It's based on Microsoft's .NET 3.5 technology.
The CTO said database transactions were going through on the backend, and added that users can be assured that their donations were being received despite the ongoing errors on the website.
Meanwhile performance on the website will be sluggish while the charity’s sys admins apply updates and fixes to its servers. ®

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea launched a new intercontinental ballistic missile Thursday in its first test in almost a year of a weapon designed to threaten the U.S. mainland and occurring days ahead of the U.S. election.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered the missile test and was at the launch site, calling the launch “an appropriate military action” to show North Korea’s resolve to respond to its enemies’ moves that has threatened the North’s safety, according to its Defense Ministry.
The United States, South Korea and Japan had also identified the weapon as an ICBM and condemned the launch as raising tensions. The launch came as Washington warned that North Korean troops in Russian uniforms are heading toward Ukraine, likely to augment Russian forces and join the war.
North Korea confirmed the launch hours after its neighbors detected the firing of what they suspected was a new, more agile weapon targeting the mainland U.S. The statement was unusually quick since North Korea usually describes its weapons tests a day after they occur.
“I affirm that the DPRK will never change its line of bolstering up its nuclear forces,” Kim said, according to a North Korean Defense Ministry statement carried by state media. DPRK stands for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, North Korea’s official name.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said North Korea could have tested a new, solid-fueled long-range ballistic missile. Missiles with built-in solid propellants are easier to move and hide and can be launched quicker than liquid-propellant weapons.
JCS spokesperson Lee Sung Joon said the launch was possibly timed to the U.S. election in an attempt to strengthen North Korea's future bargaining power. He said the North Korean missile was launched on a high angle, apparently to avoid neighboring countries.
Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani told reporters the missile's flight duration of 86 minutes and its maximum altitude of more than 7,000 kilometers (4,350 miles) exceeded corresponding data from previous North Korean missile tests. Lee, the South Korean military spokesperson, said South Korea has a similar assessment on Thursday's launch.
KCNA said the flight characteristics of this launch exceeded those registered for its previous missile launches but did not detail the differences.
U.S. National Security Council spokesperson Sean Savett had called the launch “a flagrant violation” of multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions that “needlessly raises tensions and risks destabilizing the security situation in the region.” Savett said the U.S. will take all necessary measures to ensure the security of the American homeland and its South Korean and Japanese allies.
Both South Korea and Japan condemned the North Korean launch for posing a threat to international peace and they said they're closely coordinating with the U.S. over the latest North Korean weapons test. Lee said that South Korea and the U.S. plan “sufficient” bilateral military exercises and trilateral ones involving Japan in response to North Korean threats.
Lee said the missile may have been fired from a 12-axle launch vehicle, the North's largest mobile launch platform that it disclosed in September. The vehicle's unveiling had prompted speculation North Korea could be developing an ICBM that is bigger than its existing ones.
North Korea has made strides in its missile technologies in recent years, but many foreign experts believe the country has yet to acquire a functioning nuclear-armed missile that can strike the U.S. mainland. They say North Korea likely possesses short-range missiles that can deliver nuclear strikes across all of South Korea.
One of the technological hurdles North Korea still faces is for its weapons to be capable of surviving the harsh conditions of atmospheric reentry. South Korean officials and experts earlier said North Korea may test-launch a ICBM on a normal angle to verify that capability.
Lee said a high-angle launch like Thursday's test cannot examine a missile's reentry vehicle technology. He said that more analysis is required to find why North Korea didn't conduct a standard-trajectory launch on Thursday.
South Korea’s military intelligence agency told lawmakers Wednesday that North Korea was close to test-firing a long-range missile capable of reaching the United States and has also likely completed preparations for its seventh nuclear test.
North Korea last test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile in December 2023, when it launched the solid-fueled Hwasong-18.
In the past two years, Kim has used Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as a window to ramp up weapons tests and threats while also expanding military cooperation with Moscow. South Korea, the U.S. and others have recently accused North Korea of dispatching thousands of troops to support Russia’s warfighting against Ukraine. They've said North Korea has already shipped artillery, missiles and other convectional arms to Russia.
North Korea's possible participation in the Ukraine war would mark a serious escalation. South Korea, the U.S. and their partners also worry about what North Korea could get from Russia in return for joining Russia’s war against Ukraine. Aside from his soldiers’ wages, experts say Kim Jong Un likely hopes to get high-tech Russian technology that can perfect his nuclear-capable missiles and build a reliable space-based surveillance system. Kim could also want Russian fighter jets and help to modernize North Korea's conventional weapons.
On Wednesday, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said North Korean troops wearing Russian uniforms and carrying Russian equipment are moving toward Ukraine, in what he called a dangerous and destabilizing development. Austin said “the likelihood is pretty high” that Russia will use the troops in combat.
Austin spoke at a news conference in Washington with South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun. South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol last week raised the possibility of supplying Ukraine with weapons while stressing that his government “won’t sit idle” over North Korea's reported troop dispatch.
South Korea said Wednesday that North Korea has sent more than 11,000 troops to Russia and that more than 3,000 of them have been moved close to battlefields in western Russia.

Kevin Peter Hall: Predator & Harry “Bigfoot” Henderson
In the first two Predator movies the Predator was played by the brilliant Kevin Peter Hall.
Standing at a towering 7’2” he replaced Jean-Claude Van Damme as the title creature when it became clear that things weren’t working out for various reasons (see my Film Fact #3).
Hall, a former basketball player pursued a career in acting and due to his size ended up playing two of the “biggest” creatures of the 1980s: The Predator in Predator (1987) and Predator 2 (1990), and “Harry” (Bigfoot) in Harry and the Henderson’s (1987) and also the tv show of the same name.
Unfortunately some time between 1990 and 1991 Hall was involved in a major car accident and during surgery was given contaminated blood in a transfusion. He contracted HIV and shortly after was diagnosed with AIDS. He sadly died of AIDS related pneumonia on 10th April 1991, a month short of his 36th birthday.
He gave us one of the best sci-fi movie creatures of all time! 👌
If you get a few minutes, this video about him that also features some behind the scenes footage of Predator is worth a watch. 👇

The City Council appointed Michael Lynch to replace Council Member Teofilo (Tilo) Cortez for the unfilled term of office through Nov. 8
"I appreciate the chance to fill this spot and will do my very best to make the position honorable as I set out to serve the city," Lynch said during the meeting Tuesday night.
Lynch, a private investigator, retired police officer and fire chaplain, is a longtime Wasco resident. He fills the position left open with the retirement of Cortez in December.
City Manager Scott Hurlbert celebrated the applicants for the vacant seat in District 4.
"I would first like to thank our candidates for being here tonight, including Eduardo Saldaña and Myron E. Williams," he said. "I appreciate them for being a part of the process and for their desire to contribute to Wasco."
Mayor Gilberto Reyna encouraged the candidates that were not selected to get involved in the different areas related to the city. Council Member Vincent Martinez added that all candidates were immensely qualified and was challenging to decide. He invites them to participate in the council's various boards and commissions to learn more about the city.
Council member Martinez summed up the discussion on Wasco's Wasco Task Force to eradicate the local homeless problem, "It is not as simple as just going out and arresting people or moving them to another neighborhood because we don't have a shelter," he said.
"Right now, I think we have a small enough homeless population in Wasco that it is something we can work to solve before it becomes a big problem as you see in larger cities. Luckily we have some community support working to find a long-term sustainable solution."
With February as Safety Surrender Babies Month, Joe Appleton of the Kern County Fire Department thanked the council for their proclamation. He shared that there are two places a baby can be safely surrendered, at a local hospital or any fire station. The Wasco Fire Department is one of those fire stations. If someone were looking to surrender their baby, the fire station or the firefighters on duty would handle that.
"Just in the last year between 2020 and 2021, six additional babies were surrendered in Kern County. If there is anything we can do to save even just one baby or to help a family out and give that baby a home, we are happy to do so," Appleton said.
The council took time to recognize Toni DeRosa, editor of the Wasco Tribune, upon her retirement this week. She was noted for her service to the community and efforts to communicate what was going on to its residents.

Ruddy Roye is a documentary photographer who was born in Jamaica and recently moved from Brooklyn, New York, to Cleveland, Ohio. His photos have appeared in The New York Times, Fast Company, Ebony, and The New Yorker’s Instagram account, where he shared his images of the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast. The man pictured on this month’s cover is a Brooklyn resident. Roye photographed him on Juneteenth, a holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.
My work is an attempt to show what it means to live in the struggle in places like South Carolina and Mississippi, and to document protests from Ferguson, Missouri, to New York City. I want to show the faces of those whose lives are spent in protest.

Lady Gaga has emerged victorious in a legal battle over a $500,000 reward that was offered for the safe return of her stolen dogs. A judge ruled that Jennifer McBride, who returned the dogs and claimed the reward, could not receive the money due to her involvement in the crime. The ruling has shed light on the complexities of reward offers and the legal implications that follow. The case raises important questions about the responsibilities of individuals in such situations and the consequences they may face if their actions are deemed illicit.
Back in February 2021, Ryan Fischer, Gaga’s dog walker, was shot while walking her three French bulldogs in Hollywood. Two of the dogs, Koji and Gustavto, were taken by the assailants, while a third, Miss Asia, managed to escape and was later found by the police. Gaga, deeply concerned for the safety of her pets, offered an exorbitant reward of $500,000 to anyone who could provide information leading to the dogs’ return. The reward was offered with a “no questions asked” policy, with the intention of ensuring the dogs’ safe recovery without any repercussions for those involved.
Jennifer McBride, the woman who ultimately returned the dogs, claimed the reward, stating that she had played a crucial role in ensuring the dogs’ safety. However, her involvement in the crime came back to haunt her when she was arrested and charged as an accessory to attempted murder. McBride argued that she had taken possession of the dogs solely to protect them and facilitate their return. She pleaded no contest to receiving stolen property and struck a plea deal to have the more severe charge dropped, resulting in a two-year probation sentence.
In court, Judge Holly J Fujie decided that McBride’s actions in returning the dogs could not be dissociated from her involvement in the crime. Therefore, she ruled that McBride was not entitled to claim the reward due to her “unclean hands.” The judge emphasized that allowing McBride to profit from her actions would undermine the integrity of the legal system and set a dangerous precedent.
This ruling serves as a reminder of the complexities surrounding reward offers and the potential legal ramifications for those involved. While individuals may be initially motivated by the promise of a substantial sum, they must also consider the legal and ethical implications of their actions. In this case, McBride’s involvement in the crime compromised her ability to claim the reward, as it was deemed that she should not benefit from her wrongdoing.
The judgment also sheds light on the responsibility of individuals who offer rewards in stimulating criminal activities. Gaga’s generous reward could have unintentionally incentivized the dognapping or even put Fischer’s life at risk. It is crucial for those offering rewards to carefully consider the potential consequences and ensure that their actions do not create an environment conducive to criminal behavior.
Moreover, this ruling highlights the need for clarity and specificity in reward agreements. Gaga’s reward offer was made with a “no questions asked” policy, ostensibly to encourage the safe return of her beloved pets. However, this left room for ambiguity regarding the intended recipients of the reward and the circumstances under which it would be given. As a result, the court had to interpret the offer in light of the criminal proceedings, which added complexity to the case.
Moving forward, it is essential for individuals and organizations offering rewards to carefully define the terms and conditions of their offers. Clarity and specificity in the agreement can help avoid disputes, legal challenges, and unintended consequences. By outlining the expectations and requirements upfront, those offering rewards can protect themselves and ensure that the intended recipients are the ones who ultimately benefit.
This ruling sets a precedent for similar cases in the future and highlights the importance of considering the legal implications of reward offers. It serves as a cautionary tale for both those offering rewards and those involved in the return of stolen property. The ruling sends a clear message that individuals cannot profit from their involvement in criminal activities, even if their intentions may have been initially well-intentioned.
While the case may have come to a close, the broader impact of this ruling should not be overlooked. It serves as a reminder that in the pursuit of justice and the recovery of stolen property, individuals must act within the boundaries of the law. Offering rewards can undoubtedly be a powerful incentive, but it is essential to carefully navigate the legal landscape and ensure that all actions are above reproach.
Ultimately, this court ruling reaffirms the principles of justice and serves as a lesson in the potential consequences of misguided actions. It underscores the importance of accountability and the need to uphold the integrity of the legal system. As with any high-profile case, it is vital to learn from the events and use them as a foundation for future decisions and actions.

Today’s Main LFC Headline
After the longest international break in history, the Reds’ next game is within sight!
It looks like he will, with the 25-year-old set to return for Argentina against Bolivia on Tuesday night.
According to Clarin, the midfielder suffered a recurrence of a right adductor injury he suffered a month ago, but he has overcome it.
A work overload led to him being forced off at half-time away to Crystal Palace, with Slot being cautious, and Argentina left him out of last week’s 1-1 draw with Venezuela.
We’ll all hope Mac Allister doesn’t feature against Bolivia, but there is a strong chance he partners Enzo Fernandez and Rodrigo De Paul in the middle of the park.
Today’s Liverpool FC News
- Roy Keane’s tiresome criticism of Trent Alexander-Arnold shows he still doesn’t understand him. Keane’s becoming a parody of himself!
- A late error from Caoimhin Kelleher clouded an excellent performance for the Republic of Ireland in their 2-0 defeat to Greece on Sunday. Hopefully he’s got his one big mistake for the season out of his system!
- Julian Nagelsmann may have wasted Ryan Gravenberch at Bayern Munich, but he’s now claiming that he “expected” his current great form. Make your mind up!
- Roberto Martinez’s words on Diogo Jota confirm the Liverpool hero is STILL behind Cristiano Ronaldo in the Portugal pecking order. How is he not leading the line now?!
- Jurgen Klopp convinced Lucas Leiva to reject a big-money move to China and stay put at Liverpool back in January 2016, with the former midfielder admitting he respected the German’s honesty with him
Elsewhere in the football world today
- Ajax manager Francesco Farioli has played down talk of ex-Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson leaving, saying he can continue to make a “substantial contribution” at his current club (Sky Sports)
- Pep Guardiola says he has “not decided anything” regarding his future, having been asked about becoming the next England manager. It would be nice if he left Man City as soon as possible! (Sky Sports)
- More on that story, with the FA reported to have made “informal contact” with Guardiola’s camp at the start of this season over taking the vacant position (Times)
- Speaking of the England job, Lee Carsley says the Three Lions deserve a “world class” manager, seemingly ruling himself out of contention. He strangely seems desperate NOT to get the nod! (ESPN)
- There are doubts over Northern Ireland‘s UEFA Nations League clash to Belarus taking place at home next month, due to the visitors potentially not being granted visas (BBC Sport)
Liverpool FC: On this day
On this day in 2010, Liverpool won a second case in the High Court against much-loathed former owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
It was a seismic moment in the club’s history, following their doomed reign that threatened to destroy the club financially.
The following day, the sale of Liverpool to New England Sports Ventures was completed, allowing the Reds to kick on and enjoy a better future.
While FSG have rightly received criticism down the years, they deserve credit for turning things around, with Hicks and Gillett one of the worst things to ever happen to the club.

IDF soldiers early Saturday reportedly raided the West Bank village of Kobar, home to the 17-year-old terrorist who carried out a deadly stabbing attack in an Israeli settlement.
Palestinian media said troops had gone into the village before dawn for a second time in a row, but gave no details on the soldiers’ activities. The IDF had no immediate comment.
On Friday, the army said it had raided the village, questioned a number of the terrorist’s family members and suspended their work permits. During that raid, clashes broke out between young Palestinians and soldiers firing tear gas.
“The rioters hurled large rocks and firebombs and rolled burning tires at [Israeli] troops, who responded with riot dispersal means,” an army statement said.
The clashes were over by mid-morning Friday, an AFP photographer said, though the army had established a checkpoint at the edge of the village.
Later in the day, in a rare move, Kobar’s mayor condemned the acts of 17-year-old resident Mohammed Yousef, who stabbed three residents of the Adam settlement on Thursday evening, killing 31-year-old Yotam Ovadia and wounding two others before he was shot dead.
“I believe that these operations are not correct nor humane. I will never support killing civilians. It is unacceptable and against international, religious and human customs,” said Ezzat Badwan, mayor of the village near Ramallah where Yousef lived with his family.
He also urged the IDF not to demolish Yousef’s home, as is common practice by Israel in response to attacks.
“His parents and siblings had nothing to do with what he did. They do not deserve to pay the price for the actions of one of their family members,” Badwan said. He added that the family was relatively poor and would likely struggle to find funds to rebuild its home if it is demolished.
Early Friday morning the IDF took measurements of the Yousef family’s home, a military spokeswoman said.
The army generally carries out measurements of homes in advance of demolishing them, she said, without clarifying if a decision had been made to knock down the family’s residence.
Local groups or factions sometimes collect funds to assist Palestinian families whose homes were demolished, to help them rebuild.
According to Jeff Halper, the head of the Israeli Committee Against Home Demolitions, however, this is a rare occurrence, and most families are left to fend for themselves.
Badwan added that he was surprised to learn that Yousef had carried out the stabbing attack.
“I would often see him walking around Kobar,” he said. “I would say hello to him and he would be too shy to respond. It is hard to understand how someone so shy would do what he did.”
Kobar was also the hometown of Omar al-Abed, the terrorist who in July 2017 murdered three Israelis during a home invasion and stabbing attack in the settlement of Halamish. Abed was shot during the attack and arrested. His family’s home was razed in the aftermath.
Israeli authorities are looking into a possible connection between the two terrorists.

Israeli researchers say they have developed a promising stem-cell therapy to treat age-related macular degeneration, or AMD, potentially saving the sight of millions of people.
Jerusalem-based Cell Cure Neurosciences reports that its OpRegen therapy infusion has shown encouraging potential in the first phase of its clinical trials.
Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss in people over 60, and is estimated to affect 11 million people in the US in various forms, asserts the Bright Focus Foundation’s fact sheet.
In a healthy retina, one layer of retinal pigment epithelial cells functions to help support nutrition to photoreceptors, cells that process light to provide vision. When the RPE cells deteriorate in people with macular degeneration, photoreceptors lose their support system and deteriorate, ultimately leading to blindness.
The Israeli firm’s therapy involves an injection of RPE cells, derived from human embryonic stem cells, underneath the patient’s retina.
Dr. Eyal Banin, one of the lead developers of the technology and director of degenerative diseases at the Retina Center at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, believes that the OpRegen infusion will replace the patient’s dysfunctional RPE cells.
It also may help support the remaining healthy cells.
“The biggest advantage of this type of therapy may be its communication with the surrounding cells and environment,” he said. “This two-way interaction may help these remaining cells to survive and function properly.”
Based on the encouraging results of the first phase, the researchers will move on to a second trial in which new patients will receive an upped dose. The news was announced via the Columbia, Maryland-based Foundation Fighting Blindness, which provides funding and pre-clinical research for the trials.

Average Cost of IAC Valve Replacement

Say goodbye to frustrating stalls and hello to a more reliable ride. By replacing the IAC valve, you protect your engine against wear and potential damage, ultimately saving you money in the long run.
Enjoy smoother drives and peace of mind knowing your vehicle is running at its best. With a properly functioning IAC valve, you can trust that your engine is getting the right air intake it needs for peak performance. Make the smart choice to replace your IAC valve and reap the rewards on the road.
Adding to the benefits, understanding the importance of components like the purge valve in your vehicle's emission control system can further enhance your vehicle's overall efficiency and environmental impact.
Importance of Timely Replacement
Enhancing your driving experience goes hand in hand with the timely replacement of your vehicle's IAC valve. By ensuring your IAC valve is replaced promptly, you can:
- Prevent engine stalling: Enjoy a car that doesn't leave you stranded and ensure compliance with IRS regulations for tax credits.
- Ensure vehicle reliability: Have peace of mind with a more dependable ride and maximize the EV tax credit for financial benefits.
- Protect your engine: Safeguard against unnecessary wear and tear.
- Save money: Addressing issues promptly can prevent costly repairs down the road.
Steps in IAC Valve Replacement Process
To begin the IAC valve replacement process, the first step involves diagnosing the issue using the car's computer system. After identifying the problem, the mechanic will proceed to check the electrical connections and leaks.
Following this, the faulty IAC valve will be removed and replaced with a new one. It's also important to clean the manifold ports on the intake to make sure proper airflow.
Once the replacement is complete, the car will be tested to verify that the new IAC valve is functioning correctly. This step is necessary to make sure that your vehicle runs smoothly and efficiently without any stalling issues.
Signs Indicating Need for Replacement
If your vehicle is showing signs of irregular idling, fluctuating RPMs, or stalling frequently, these could be indications that your IAC valve may need replacement. Look out for these common signs:
- Engine idling inconsistently
- RPM gauge displaying fluctuations
- Car stalling or having difficulty staying running
- Sudden declines in engine performance
Don't overlook these symptoms, as a faulty IAC valve can impact your car's overall performance. It's vital to address the issue promptly to avoid further damage to your engine.
If you notice any of these signs, consider having your IAC valve checked and potentially replaced to make certain your vehicle runs smoothly.
Tips to Save Money on Replacement
Looking to save money on your IAC valve replacement? Consider these tips to cut down on costs.
First, consider tackling the replacement yourself if you have the skills and tools. This can save you on labor expenses.
Next, try to source the IAC valve part yourself, as this can often be cheaper than purchasing it through the repair shop.
To wrap up, shop around and compare prices for labor costs at different auto repair shops to find the best deal. By being proactive and exploring these options, you can potentially save a significant amount of money on your IAC valve replacement.
DIY vs. Professional Replacement Costs
Weighing DIY versus professional replacement costs for your IAC valve can help you make an informed decision based on your skills and budget. If you're debating which option to choose, here are some factors to take into account:
- DIY Replacement:
- Saves on labor costs
- Requires mechanical skills
- May take more time
- Risk of errors
Before deciding, balance the benefits of professional expertise against the cost savings of a DIY approach.
Factors Affecting IAC Valve Replacement Cost
When determining the cost of an Idle Air Control (IAC) valve replacement, several key factors come into play that can influence the overall price you may expect to pay.
The brand and quality of the replacement valve will impact the cost, with OEM parts typically being more expensive.
The make and model of your vehicle also play a significant role, as some cars have more accessible IAC valves, making the replacement process easier and less costly.
Additionally, the warranty offered by the service provider can affect the price, as longer warranties may come with a higher upfront cost.
Labor costs vary depending on the mechanic's hourly rate and the complexity of the replacement job, impacting the total expense of the IAC valve replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Drive My Car With a Faulty IAC Valve?
You shouldn't drive with a faulty IAC valve. Your car may stall, become unreliable, and damage the engine. Save money by fixing it promptly. Get a replacement every 3-4 years to keep your vehicle running smoothly.
Is It Possible to Clean the IAC Valve Instead of Replacing It?
Yes, cleaning the IAC valve can sometimes resolve issues like stalling. DIY cleaning with carburetor cleaner and a brush. Remove carbon buildup gently. Reinstall and test. Consult a mechanic if needed. Enjoy a smoother drive!
How Do I Know if My IAC Valve Needs Replacement?
To know if your IAC valve needs replacement, watch for engine stalling and irregular idling. Check for electrical issues or vacuum leaks. If problems persist, consult a mechanic for a diagnostic scan and possible replacement to keep your vehicle running smoothly.
Are There Any Temporary Fixes for a Malfunctioning IAC Valve?
To address a malfunctioning IAC valve temporarily, you can try cleaning it with throttle body cleaner, checking for loose connections, or resetting the ECU. These steps may provide a short-term solution until a proper replacement can be done.
Can a Clogged Air Filter Mimic Symptoms of a Faulty IAC Valve?
Yes, a clogged air filter can mimic symptoms of a faulty IAC valve. It restricts airflow, causing similar issues like engine stalling. Regularly replacing air filters can prevent this problem. Consider checking the air filter before assuming the IAC valve is at fault.

The TMR Zoo is pleased to announce the first edition of it’s very latest feature… the Beer of the Month. The goal is simple… we will introduce you to a new beer each month that in some way is in tune with the current season or climate. This beer of the month will sometimes be paired with food or maybe an anecdote or two. By selecting a specific beer, we encourage members to try the monthly selection and post their own thoughts via the comments section below.
The best thing about the beer of the month is that we have partnered with our new friends from Bottletrek.com to introduce you to 12 cool brews this year. If that wasn’t enough, each month we will include a coupon which will save Zoo readers 10% off any beer from Bottletrek’s online bottleshop.
This month’s selection is a perfect spring, hoppy offering: Deschutes Hop Henge Imperial IPA (Bend, Oregon). This beer pours a deep amber color with a fluffy white head. Of course the aroma is of hops, big piney and citrus aromas. Through the esters of orange peel and lemon there is a faint caramel aroma vying for attention.
The mouthfeel is medium with a slight presence of malt that is quickly pushed aside by another wave of malt. The 95+ IBU’s (international bittering units) are very noticeable but the 8.75% Alcohol by Volume is well hidden.
With BBQ season upon us, this big IIPA is a great companion for a spicy grilled meal. Try it with one of my favorite summer recipes:
Start with 4 boneless chicken breasts and slice/fillet a pocket in the side of the chicken so that the breast is like a half a pita pocket. Skin and chop up a chorizo into course chunks then sauté the chorizo until browned with some bell peppers and onions. Shred a cup of Monterey jack or cheddar cheese and stuff a couple of tablespoons of cheese into the pocket of the breast, after the cheese is in add a similar amount of the chorizo. The breast should be bulging, give me credit for not making a cheap joke here.
This is where this might get tricky because I don’t use measurements. The trick is lightly sprinkle each spice because there are so many being used. If you want a cheaters way out of this next step – sprinkle the chicken with a bit of taco, chili or Mexican seasoning. I rub the chicken down with diced garlic and olive oil then season the chicken with – kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, oregano, cilantro, chili powder and a bit of crushed red pepper.
Throw the chicken on the grill and grill until it is brown on the outside and you can see the cheese starting to bubble out of the pocket.
Serve this with a Deschutes Hop Henge Imperial IPA and you are in heaven. You can get the ingredients for the chicken at any grocery store, The Hop Henge we suggest you get from our friends at Bottletrek.com
Now it’s your turn… visit Botteltrek’s Deschutes Hop Henge Imperial IPA page and purchase this month’s brew. When checking out use the coupon code ZOO5 to receive 10% off of your purchase. After you have tasted our June selection, come back here and post your thoughts, whether they are positive or negative. If you’ve previously sampled Hop Henge, or have purchased it elsewhere, comment away! Each month we will give an overall thumbs-up or thumbs-down based on readers’ reviews. Feel free to review our food pairing as well.
We hope you enjoy this month’s selection and are awaiting your feedback.

Laserliner staat bekend om zijn geavanceerde meet- en inspectieoplossingen die professionals in verschillende industrieën ondersteunen. Hun inspectiecamera's, waaronder warmtebeeldcamera's en video-inspectieapparatuur, zijn ontworpen om de zichtbaarheid in moeilijk bereikbare plaatsen te vergroten en gedetailleerde analyses te bieden. Wat deze producten speciaal maakt, is hun vermogen om verborgen problemen te onthullen, zoals warmteverlies, vocht, verstoppingen en elektrische problemen, zonder destructieve methoden te gebruiken. De warmtebeeldcamera's van Laserliner bieden nauwkeurige temperatuurmetingen en visuele warmtekaarten, terwijl hun video-inspectiecamera's voorzien zijn van flexibele sondes en heldere displays voor het inspecteren van binnenstructuren. Deze tools zijn essentieel voor het diagnosticeren van problemen en het waarborgen van de integriteit van structuren en systemen.
Een warmtebeeldcamera is een instrument dat infraroodstraling detecteert en deze omzet in een visueel beeld dat temperatuurverschillen weergeeft. Deze camera's worden gebruikt om warmtebronnen te identificeren en te analyseren, waardoor ze onmisbaar zijn voor het opsporen van isolatieproblemen, waterlekkages, elektrische oververhitting en meer. Het gebruik van een warmtebeeldcamera van Laserliner is eenvoudig: richt de camera op het te onderzoeken gebied en het apparaat genereert een kleurrijke warmtekaart die temperatuurverschillen visueel weergeeft. Deze technologie is bijzonder waardevol voor bouwinspecteurs, elektriciens, HVAC-technici en iedereen die onderhoud of diagnostiek uitvoert in gebouwen.
Een inspectiecamera, ook wel een endoscoop of borescope genoemd, is een flexibele camera die is ontworpen om visuele inspecties uit te voeren in gebieden die moeilijk toegankelijk zijn. Deze camera's hebben een lange, dunne sonde met een camera aan het uiteinde, waardoor gebruikers beelden en video's kunnen vastleggen van binnenin muren, leidingen, motoren en andere gesloten structuren. Laserliner inspectiecamera's zijn uitgerust met heldere LED-verlichting en high-definition displays, waardoor ze ideaal zijn voor het inspecteren van leidingwerk, het opsporen van verstoppingen, en het controleren van de staat van machines. Ze zijn onmisbaar voor professionals in de bouw, automobielindustrie en loodgieterij.

Fresno, CA – Brandi Urena Killed in Fatal Wreck on Hwy 41 near Central Ave
Fresno, CA (July 24, 2021) – An auto accident took the life of Brani Urena late on Monday, July 29. The wreck was reported to have occurred at around 11:30 a.m.
Sources indicate that the incident happened on Highway 41 near Central Avenue when four vehicles were involved in a crash.
Police and paramedics arrived at the scene to find Urena suffering from severe head trauma. Crash reports state that a 24-year-old man was speeding in a white Honda Insight when he rear-ended a black Toyota Yaris driven by Urena, who was stopped at a red light.
The Toyota was pushed into the rear-end of a blue Honda Accord. The Honda struck the front of a Chevy in the next lane. The driver of the Insight received minor injuries and may be facing charges connected to the crash.
Urena, aged 42, was transported from the scene to Community Regional Medical Center where she later passed away. Currently, the incident remains under local law enforcement investigation.
Our thoughts are with everyone involved. We would like to offer our sincere condolences to the family of the deceased at this time.
Auto Accidents in Fresno
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people are injured in auto accidents across the state of California. Although many accidents result in minor injuries for those involved, a substantial number of accidents cause life-altering injuries, like brain trauma and spinal cord injuries, that require extensive medical treatment. These painful injuries have an overwhelming impact on the health and wellbeing of victims. Not only are they left to deal with pain and suffering, but the financial burdens victims and their families face are often substantial. Having to go through extensive medical treatment, months of therapy, and repeat surgeries can have stacking consequences on victims for several years following their accidents.
As a result of the mental, physical, and financial consequences victims face, courts throughout California provide victims with various legal options that they can utilize to obtain compensation from at-fault parties. Filing a personal injury claim enables those harmed to collect full and fair compensation for medical treatment, long-term care costs, lost wages, and more. Reaching out to a car accident attorney in Fresno as soon as possible can ensure your legal rights are protected.

I can’t believe how popular Kickstarter has become for budding entrepreneurs. Previously if you had a good idea it would involve trying to secure funding from financial or private institutions. This isn’t an easy process because potential lenders require comprehensive business plans. Even if the idea is great it can deter even the most enthusiastic designers. It is true that a lot of concepts are not successful on Kickstarter and price definitely is an important factor. However if the project is managed properly and the marketing is correct the results can be astonishing.
A few weeks ago I published an article featuring RPaige’s wonderful ‘Crash of 29’. Interesting designers Mark Carson and Richard Paige chose Kickstarter to launch this project. I was surprised at their decision because Richard is pretty established (in the watch industry) and the price $2,400 starting point was high for this platform. Normally watches marketed well under the $1,000 yield the best results. Within a few days (with a bit of editorial support) Richard and Mark achieved their $30,000 target. This means their phenomenal ‘Art Deco’ inspired timepiece will be produced this year. As a result of this I would seriously consider using Kickstarter to promote a special limited edition version of my (in collaboration with Frank Heydrich) Polaris watch.
Recently I communicated with a talented watchmaker called Mengu Evrensel who owns a brand called Remy Cruz. About 18 months ago I wrote an article about their superb and innovative Rébellion Sauvage. This watch has various handcrafted elements that are manufactured from titanium and 18-karat gold. It also is fairly exclusive and has a price tag of $11,172US. This is why I was surprised when Mengu informed me that his latest project (under the name of MEW) will be launched on Kickarter and will retail at around $200. The watch in question is a trendy Japanese Solar powered Chrono called the Tactical 004.
From recent conversations with Mengu Evrensel he explained the concept behind the Tactical 004. Essentially when he first embarked on this project he wanted to produce a heavy duty OPS watch at an affordable price. Certainly he seems to have achieved this goal. Although the watch on the surface appears to have a generic design there are some interesting features. For example the gloss black bezel looks cool and perfectly interacts with the textured dial. Other details include three sporty chronograph counters, screw down crown and pushers. I also feel the well-proportioned 48mm x 44mm x12 mm stainless steel case will appeal to a wide variety of masculine buyers.

Reasons to Have Trenchless Repairs Over Traditional Methods
Homeowners and business owners continually explore more efficient ways to maintain and repair their homes to save money. Trenching is a time-tested but costly method for improving sewage systems. To reach the sewer lines, you have to dig a trench. The good news is that Total Drain Solutions offers trenchless sewer repair in Las Vegas, NV, which is less invasive and far less expensive.
Here are why trenchless repairs are far better than traditional methods.
One of the most significant advantages of trenchless pipe repair is time savings. Using traditional methods necessitates digging trenches to access the broken sewer line. Assuming the pipe is buried several feet underground, this is a challenging and time-consuming task. With trenchless repair, the sewer line gets repaired without digging.
Compared to traditional repair methods, trenchless pipe replacement has lower upfront expenditures. In the past, sewer system repairs required digging trenches to reach the underlying infrastructure; the broken line was immediately removed and replaced with a new one. Due to the labor-intensive nature of this technique, the cost is relatively expensive.
Trenchless sewer replacement methods do not necessitate digging up the ground. Trenches must be dug if the sewage system requires traditional repair techniques. After digging, broken components are removed and replaced with new ones. Trenchless repairs cause less property and landscaping damage because they do not require digging.
A trenchless sewer line repair procedure has massive benefits over more standard approaches. If you are looking for a way to repair your sewer line that is more cost-effective and less invasive than conventional procedures, then trenchless repairs are your best option.
Contact us today at Total Drain Solutions for an innovative and efficient way to repair your sewer lines. We’re sure to have the right solutions for all your drain problems!
Benefit From Our Complete Range of Services Today
At Total Drain Solutions, we get the work done right the first time. Each member of our team works with the highest level of integrity. By using the best technology and processes along with proven craftsmanship, we fully restore your piping system to its original condition.

Are you ready for changes in the National Living Wage?
April 1, 2021
From 1st April the national living wage increases by 2.2% from £8.72 to £8.91. This represents an annual pay increase of £345 for a full time employee on this rate.
From this date the national living wage (NLW) is also extended to include those aged 23 and 24.
A 23 or 24 year old paid the current national minimum wage rate of £8.20 per hour will become eligible for at least the NLW of £8.91 per hour. That’s an increase of 8.7%.
Don’t get caught out! You must make sure that all employees receive at least the statutory minimum pay rate for their age. Start with an audit of your workforce to identify any individuals that will be eligible for a change in pay and be sure to confirm the change in writing.
See our previous blog https://www.totally-hr.co.uk/2020/12/new-minimum-wage-rates-2021/ for more information on the new rate of pay.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.—As the Verizon IndyCar Series opened their 2018 season on the streets of St. Petersburg Friday morning, A.J. Foyt’s ABC Supply Racing team was in the top 10 when the checkered fell.
In practice 1, Matheus ‘Matt’ Leist surprised everyone (including himself) when he emerged as quickest of the 24 starters. His teammate Tony Kanaan set the pace early and then elected not to put on new tires towards the end of the season.
Rookie Leist was in the top 10 from the beginning of the session and then popped up to the top of the speed chart in the final minutes after putting on fresh tires, as did many of those behind him. In the second session, Kanaan showed the consistency expected of a veteran with another ninth-place performance while Leist dipped to 12th in that session.
Kanaan summarized his day, saying, “It was a decent first day. The biggest accomplishment we wanted to do was have the ABC Supply team running all day. We did that and everybody stayed calm. We had a very good first session and I knew people were going to step it up [in the second session] so now we just need to keep our heads together. It was a decent second session, we’re there. The goal obviously is to win races but we came here to be realistic and I think if we are in the top 10 for this first race and what we’re building, it would be really good. We’re there right now [inside top 10] so we’ll see what happens tomorrow.”
Leist, whose first session in an IndyCar resulted in P1, was pleased with his team’s efforts and is confident about their chances this weekend.
“The whole day was pretty good I think. The first practice we were P1 so I was impressed with myself [laughs] and probably the team was as well. It was a good start to the weekend and I think the second session went good as well. We probably had a car to finish in the top-five but I just had too much traffic when I was on reds. P12 is still good I think. I’m looking forward to the weekend and the season. Probably tomorrow is going to be a better day than today and we’re going to be up there with the top guys.”
The top five in practice in the second session were Ryan Hunter-Reay (Honda), James Hinchcliffe (H), Will Power (Chevrolet), Scott Dixon (H) and defending IndyCar champion Josef Newgarden (C).
There will be another practice in tomorrow which will be streamed live on IndyCar.com starting at 11:10 a.m. ET. Qualifying begins at 2:20 p.m. ET and will also streamed live on IndyCar.com.

The December U.S. dollar index is steady in early morning dealings. Slow stochastics are bearish for today. The dollar index finds shorter-term technical resistance at Friday’s high of 85.82 and then at 86.00. Shorter-term support is seen at the overnight low of 85.52 and then at this week’s low of 85.26. Wyckoff’s Intra Day Market Rating: 7.0
The December Euro is near steady in early trading. The Euro today finds sell stop orders are likely located just below shorter-term technical support at last week’s low of 1.2695 and then just below support at 1.2650. Shorter-term technical resistance for the Euro is seen at the overnight high of 1.2749 and then at 1.2800. Buy stops likely reside just above those levels. Slow stochastics for the Euro are bearish for today. Wyckoff’s Intra Day Market Rating: 4.0
Gold is trading higher in early morning dealings, on short covering from recent losses. Prices hit a fresh three-month low Friday. In December gold, shorter-term technical support is seen at $585.00 and then at $580.00. Sell stops likely reside just below those levels. Buy stops likely reside just above resistance at the overnight high of $590.60 and then more buy stops just above resistance at $595.00. Wyckoff’s Intra-Day Market Rating: 4.5
Crude oil prices are trading firmer in early electronic dealings, on tepid short covering in a bear market. Bears are still in firm near-term technical command. In October crude, look for buy stops to reside just above resistance at $64.00 and then just above resistance at $64.50. Look for sell stops just below technical support at the overnight low of $63.20, and then more sell stops just below support at $63.00. Wyckoff’s Intra-Day Market Rating: 3.0
Prices were mostly higher in overnight electronic trading, some more short covering following decent gains Friday. Seasonal studies still favor the corn and bean bears this time of year, as harvest is under way for those crops. But my bias is that there is not strong downside price potential in the grains, with prices at present levels. Strong closes Monday would be an early clue that harvest lows could be in place.

About the Event
The Trail Collectors’ Skill Drill Monday after-work is our regular riding technique training session where our most experienced riders explain, show, and help you with mastering core mtb technique skills.

We will session particular trails or pump tracks etc to perfect the techniques. Each week a ‘theme’ is proposed to provide some focus, but the coach will obviously be open and relaxed to discuss everything they know.
The art and science of cornering.

Only a block from my hotel, Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Downtown Fort Wayne, was a beautiful oasis of flowers and butterflies -- Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory.
The Conservatory began as an idea between two good friends who wanted Fort Wayne to have an indoor sanctuary to enjoy the wonders of nature. Helene Foellinger, publisher of the News-Sentinel, and Bill Sowers, a local attorney and trustee, often visited gardens around the world together and wanted to share the same beauty with the people of Fort Wayne.
Their dream became a reality in 1983 with help from the City of Fort Wayne, the Foellinger Foundation, the Freimann Trust, and Lincoln National Corporation.
The Conservatory offers four changing showcases each year, including a butterfly garden the day I visited. There are 24,500 square feet of indoor gardens with a vast plant collection and four outdoor gardens. The gardens are home to 2,000 plants from 1,000 varieties, including 72 types of cacti.
I wandered through the three massive greenhouses and outside among the spring blooms of tulips and flowering trees. My last stop was the butterfly exhibit which is always a thrill. To me, butterflies are like living blossoms flitting from flower to flower.
There is also an excellent gift shop here offering just the right souvenirs to remember your journey through Fort Worth's glorious gardens.
No matter what time of year, this oasis in this city will be a treat for the senses. Colorful exotic plants, blossoms, waterfalls, winding pathways, and bright flowers greet guests with every step of their journey.

Do you have any thoughts on this post?
If you were shocked and angered earlier this year by a bill to dispose of public lands, then you should know about these less blatant—but similarly dangerous—legislative moves
[Editor’s Note: This post was originally published February 7, 2017 with ten legislative threats—one of which has become a reality for 245 million acres of Bureau of Management Lands. The post below has been updated as of March 29, 2017 with the latest on these developments and the newest threats to our public lands legacy.]
In February, sportsmen flooded the office of Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) with phone calls, letters, tweets, and Facebook messages about his unpopular and dangerous public lands bill, H.R. 621. Shortly after, he dropped the legislation that would have enabled the sale of 3.3 million acres of public lands.
We celebrated. We were reminded that our voices have power. Then, we went back to work.
Here’s the thing: The tug-of-war between Americans who are proud to have 640 million acres of public lands as their birthright and those who seek to undermine these lands has never been tied to one individual bill, state, or lawmaker—it’s a longstanding ideological battle that puts conservation, access, and our hunting and fishing traditions on the line.
And, because D.C. politics are hardly ever as simple as black and white, the intent to transfer or sell public lands isn’t always explicitly stated in a bill’s title. To add to this confusion, sometimes a “win” for us is when nothing happens at all—a bill is introduced, never receives a hearing or co-sponsors, and gets swept from the docket at the end of that Congress. H.R. 621 languished in obscurity in this way last year, and Chaffetz probably wasn’t prepared for the backlash from public lands advocates when he reintroduced identical legislation in 2017.
Well, it’s a new day, and sportsmen are watching. Keep your eye on these legislative actions that would dismantle our public lands heritage, piece by piece.
We expect that the Fiscal Year 2018 budget resolution will pick up legislative riders like fleece picks up burrs. Riders are policy priorities tacked onto larger must-pass legislation and, coupled with bills that help guide government spending, they could have scary implications for public lands and habitat. Pretty much anything is fair game, but we’re keeping an eye out for language that undercuts federal plans to benefit sage grouse and the broader sagebrush ecosystem. Because stripping federal authority over management of national public lands is a big ol’ slippery slope.
In fact, Senator Jim Risch (R-Idaho) has already introduced legislation (S. 273) that would give state officials full authority over state and federal conservation plans to restore sage-grouse habitat. This might sound mild, but don’t be fooled—transferring control of management plans is a back door to transferring control of the land itself. This would be “an unprecedented shift of management responsibility that erodes the implementation of bedrock conservation statutes,” according to Ed Arnett, our senior scientist. Congressman Rob Bishop (R-Utah) introduced a near-identical bill last year.
In addition to the bill he withdrew*, Rep. Chaffetz also introduced the “Local Enforcement for Local Lands Act” (H.R. 622) as a measure to pull funding for federal public-land law enforcement. This bill is still alive in Congress and has six co-sponsors.
*Many of you have asked why it appears that H.R. 621 is still alive in congressional records and online, even though Chaffetz requested that the bill be withdrawn. Well, the committee chair is the one who officially files the forms to withdraw legislation and strike it from the books—and nobody likes doing paperwork. It’s typical for bills to collect dust in committee until the end of the congressional year.
The “State National Forest Management Act of 2017” (H.R. 232), introduced by Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska), would take two million acres of National Forest System land away from Americans to be managed solely for timber production (read: short-term profit.) Just a friendly reminder that this could transfer management of all of Pennsylvania’s Allegheny National Forest to the state. This language was originally introduced in 2016 and made it the next step to a committee hearing, despite sportsmen’s outcry. The 114th Congress wrapped without seeing that bill move any further, but now it’s back for round two.
The “Honor the Nevada Enabling Act of 1864 Act,” introduced last Congress by Rep. Mark Amodei (R-Nev.), was an explicit attempt to transfer federal public lands in Nevada to state ownership—at which point public access could be barred. While we haven’t seen this language reappear verbatim, Amodei has introduced two public lands bills so far. The Small Tracts Conveyance Act (H.R. 1106) would allow for the sale of some federal public lands in Nevada to private landowners or other entities, and the Nevada Land Sovereignty Act (H.R. 243) prohibits the expansion or establishment of national monuments in Nevada.
Last year, the “Self-Sufficient Community Lands Act” passed out of the House Natural Resources Committee, but didn’t make it to a floor vote. It never should have made it that far. Introduced by Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho), the bill would have given management authority for large segments of our national forests to “advisory committees”—no previous professional experience in forest management would be required on these committees. Conservation and access would surely be an afterthought to generating revenue, but the financial burden of wildfire management would still be on the American taxpayer. That’s why we’ll be watching for something similar to emerge.
Bills at the federal level aren’t the only place we see shots fired at public lands. There are clear examples of state legislators easing the skids for public land transfer in Oregon, Washington, and Utah. Even in Missouri, a resolution encouraging transfer of Western federal lands to the states is making its way through the state legislature.
It’s easy to get complacent as long as these threats never really come to a head. But consider what’s already been lost this year.
Alarmingly, Congress has already voted to roll back public involvement in public land management by blocking the Bureau of Land Management’s new planning rule through a Congressional Review Act resolution of disapproval. The resolution, which could eliminate the BLM’s ability to provide similar benefits in a planning rule ever again, was signed into law by President Trump on March 27, 2017. Planning 2.0 was the result of more than two years of collaborative work, and overturning it was a gut-punch to sportsmen who celebrated conservation benefits for big game migration corridors and backcountry habitats.
And, in Oregon, a two-to-one vote by the State Land Board is likely to seal the fate of the Elliott State Forest, which is much beloved for its recreation opportunities, including hunting and fishing, but has been a drag on the state budget sheet. Federal public lands aren’t managed for profit, but they would be in the hands of the states. Now, it’s likely that the Elliott will be sold. This could make it the poster child for what could happen to America’s public lands if land transfer proponents get what they want.
It’s also a reminder of why we’re fighting tooth and nail to keep public lands public. Give them an inch and they’ll take millions of acres. Let your elected officials know that our public lands are not for sale.
News for Immediate Release

Representatives would revert BLM land-use planning back to an ineffective and outdated rule and prevent positive changes from being included in future revisions
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Using an obscure legislative process, a majority of the U.S. House of Representatives voted to block the BLM’s new land-use planning rule, known as Planning 2.0, and roll back the additional opportunities the rule affords the public to voice concerns about land management decisions on 245 million acres. The Senate is expected to vote on a similar resolution next week.
Nineteen sportsmen’s groups, conservation organizations, outdoor recreation trade associations, and businesses that rely on public lands sent a letter to congressional leadership this week opposing the move to roll back Planning 2.0 through the Congressional Review Act, a little-known law that enables Congress to roll back regulations within 60 legislative days of their enactment. Once repealed through this process, a substantially similar rule cannot be rewritten.
The letter urges lawmakers to allow the incoming Secretary of the Interior a chance to address concerns with the new rule, rather than scrap it altogether.
“A Congressional Review Act repeal of the BLM planning rule would eliminate Planning 2.0, revert BLM planning to a problematic decades-old planning process, and likely eliminate the BLM’s authority to revise its planning regulations ever again in the future,” says Joel Webster, director of Western lands with the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership. “This aggressive path benefits no one. We urge Congress to take a different course and address remaining concerns by working collaboratively with the new Secretary of the Interior.”
Many groups are frustrated by the potential lost momentum for improvements that would benefit wildlife habitat along migration corridors and in seasonal ranges. New technology has revealed critical data on these important areas, which are not considered under the old planning rule, which was largely developed in 1983.
“Under the spirit of Planning 2.0, improvements are already being made to the way we conserve once overlooked habitat that elk, mule deer, and other big game animals rely on, even if it’s just for a portion of their journey,” says Steve Williams, president of the Wildlife Management Institute and former director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “Increased coordination under the rule will only mean that the best possible science is used to our advantage, not ignored.”
Outdoor recreation businesses deserve better, but sportsmen and women will not stay quiet on this issue, says Ben Bulis, president of the American Fly Fishing Trade Association. “If recent public outcry against bad public land policy proves anything, it’s that we’ll be heard either way—we’d just rather be part of the democratic process.”
To move forward for conservation, resistance can’t be the only tactic
Add “alternative facts,” fake news, and #resistance to the major trust issues that Americans have with government, and it’s easy to see why D.C. politics is one big gray area.
An example: Rep. Ryan Zinke has been clear that he cares deeply about public lands and funding for outdoor recreation access, especially as a lifelong hunter, and he is absolutely opposed to selling off or transferring national public lands to individual states. He’s on record supporting the expansion of our public lands—and access to them—by fully funding the Land and Water Conservation Fund. We based much of our support for Zinke as Secretary of the Interior on his track record of crossing party lines to vote for support of public lands.
Then, he didn’t. He voted along party lines on a House rules package that, among dozens of other proposed changes unrelated to conservation, would devalue federal public lands being considered for sale or transfer. The vote was procedural, and there is no indication that this action will be taken up by the Senate, but many began calling for Zinke’s head.
Critics ask how we can sit back and support him now. We’ve also been criticized for being optimistic about the nominee for Secretary of Agriculture, Sonny Perdue, an avid quail hunter who instituted statewide conservation plans and funding programs during his tenure as Governor of Georgia. No, we don’t think that prayers for rain are good agricultural policy, but there’s more good than bad in his track record.
They won’t side with us on every issue, but we’d like to see true sportsmen (ones with actual conservation accomplishments) lead the agencies that are responsible for conservation in our country. There are many difficult choices ahead, and we want the opportunity to be heard by those who have walked in our boots and share many of our values.
I don’t believe that Congressman Zinke’s actions were nefarious in that vote. But I can understand why hunters and anglers are frustrated with the games we see in Congress. Games like pretending that sage grouse conservation will undermine national defense readiness. Games like using obscure congressional authorities to reduce public input on land management decisions. Games like silencing scientists on climate change, yet decrying policies made by the last administration based on politics—instead of science.
It’s our job to see through the smoke screens, but our work will never be as simple as black and white.
As sportsmen, we have an opportunity to hold a middle ground and be reasonable in a time of upheaval Share on XWe need to know how to work with D.C. insiders in order to reach and educate the decision makers who hold your hunting and fishing opportunities in their hands. It is incumbent on us to make sure sportsmen and women are heard by the new administration and Congress, and we can do this better in their offices than we can shouting outside their windows. As sportsmen, we have an opportunity to hold a middle ground and be reasonable in a time of upheaval and extreme resistance.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t go on the defensive when we need to. That’s why we’ve come out in opposition to a congressional attempt to roll back your say in public lands management. That’s why we continue to provide you with opportunities to oppose public land transfer proposals in your state and in Washington. And as long as sportsmen and women put their trust in us, we’ll always be transparent about our actions.
We can be optimistic and remain vigilant. We can shake hands and shake our fists. It’s not a political game—it’s our duty.
Lawmakers pursue obscure legislative process for blocking a rule created to give the public more say in management plans for 245 million acres of BLM public lands
Sportsmen, landowners, and former Bureau of Land Management employees strongly criticized a move by senators and representatives to overturn the BLM’s revised land-use planning rule, known as Planning 2.0. Using the obscure and rarely used Congressional Review Act, federal decision makers took a first step toward repealing the new rule and rolling back opportunities for the public to have more say in land management decisions.
In a statement, Senate co-sponsors of a Congressional Review Act resolution cite bad information as motivation to revoke the rule, namely that the final rule fails to prioritize feedback from all stakeholders, including local governments. However, if lawmakers are successful, the BLM would continue using outdated guidelines for land-use planning established in 1983, which keep the public in the dark until very late in the planning process.
“It has been publicly recognized by county commissioners and conservation districts that the BLM took meaningful steps between the draft and final planning rules to accommodate requests from local governments and the public in reworking land-use planning,” says Whit Fosburgh, president and CEO of the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership. “Now, Congress is taking steps to reduce agency transparency and limit the public’s ability to have a say in how their public lands are managed. While a few concerns might remain, Congress is going about this the wrong way.”
The Congressional Review Act is a little-known law that enables Congress to roll back regulations within 60 legislative days of their enactment. The BLM planning rule, while under development since 2014, was finalized in December 2016, so it falls within the window of eligibility for repeal by the CRA. The process has only been successful once.
“The Western Landowners Alliance supports the BLM’s efforts in updating planning to meet today’s needs in the West,” says Lesli Allison, executive director of the Western Landowners Alliance. “There are opportunities for improvement, but not to the detriment of eliminating all the good progress that has been made to date. We believe working through the Secretary of Interior is the best way to achieve our goals and constructively address any remaining concerns with the rule.”
Most disturbingly, once a rule is overturned through the CRA, no new rule that is “substantially the same” can be developed.
“A Congressional Review Act repeal would eliminate Planning 2.0 and likely eliminate the BLM’s authority to revise their planning regulations ever again in the future,” says Jesse Juen, president of the Public Lands Foundation and a longtime BLM employee. “Instead of stripping the incoming Secretary of the Interior of his authority before he takes office, lawmakers should work with the new administration to make refinements to a planning process that many stakeholders championed.”
Hunters and anglers in Western states can click here to write their lawmakers and urge them to let Planning 2.0 stand.
Theodore Roosevelt’s experiences hunting and fishing certainly fueled his passion for conservation, but it seems that a passion for coffee may have powered his mornings. In fact, Roosevelt’s son once said that his father’s coffee cup was “more in the nature of a bathtub.” TRCP has partnered with Afuera Coffee Co. to bring together his two loves: a strong morning brew and a dedication to conservation. With your purchase, you’ll not only enjoy waking up to the rich aroma of this bolder roast—you’ll be supporting the important work of preserving hunting and fishing opportunities for all.
$4 from each bag is donated to the TRCP, to help continue their efforts of safeguarding critical habitats, productive hunting grounds, and favorite fishing holes for future generations.

In 1922, Indianapolis was a city undergoing significant social transformation, influenced by national trends and local dynamics. The aftermath of World War I, the rise of industrialization, and shifting social relations marked this period as one of both opportunity and tension.
Economic and Industrial Growth
Economic Boom Post-WWI
Following World War I, Indianapolis experienced an economic surge typical of many Midwestern cities. The industrial sector expanded rapidly, particularly in automotive manufacturing and transportation. This growth contributed to the emergence of a burgeoning middle class, driven by the Indiana Gas Boom that significantly impacted local industry.
Impact on Labor
While the expanding economy created numerous job opportunities, it also led to conflicts between labor unions and industrial employers. Strikes became more common as workers sought better conditions and wages. The role of unions in advocating for workers’ rights grew increasingly prominent during this time.
Racial Tensions and the Rise of the Ku Klux Klan
Racial Segregation and Discrimination
Despite economic advancements, racial segregation remained deeply entrenched in Indianapolis. African Americans faced systemic discrimination in housing, employment, and education, largely dictated by Jim Crow laws and informal segregation practices that shaped their daily lives.
Ku Klux Klan Influence
The year 1922 marked a peak in the influence of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) in Indiana, especially in Indianapolis. The Klan capitalized on post-war anxieties to promote white supremacy and anti-immigrant sentiments. Membership among prominent citizens was significant, allowing the Klan to exert considerable influence over local politics and law enforcement. Reports suggest that up to 40% of native-born white men in Indianapolis were Klan members during this era.
African American Community and Culture
Emerging African American Middle Class
In spite of the challenges posed by segregation and discrimination, the African American community in Indianapolis began to flourish culturally and economically. Institutions such as businesses, churches, and newspapers like the Indianapolis Recorder played crucial roles in fostering a vibrant community.
Cultural and Social Life
The influence of the Harlem Renaissance began to permeate Indianapolis during this time. Jazz and blues music gained popularity, with Indiana Avenue emerging as a cultural hub for the Black community. Prominent Black churches and civic organizations became vital centers for social activism.
Women’s Rights and Changing Gender Roles
Women’s Suffrage Movement
The ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920 empowered women in Indianapolis to engage more actively in politics. Women participated in civic organizations and social reform movements, marking a significant shift in their societal roles.
Changing Roles in Society
The 1920s saw women challenging traditional gender norms by pursuing higher education and entering the workforce in greater numbers. The flapper culture also influenced local attitudes towards women’s roles, leading to both acceptance and backlash from conservative segments of society.
Prohibition and Social Change
Impact of Prohibition
The passage of the 18th Amendment in 1919 enforced Prohibition, which had profound effects on social life in Indianapolis. The illegal alcohol trade flourished alongside speakeasies, creating friction between law enforcement and organized crime.
Prohibition highlighted a cultural divide between rural conservatives and urban populations that included immigrants and younger generations who often defied these laws. The KKK supported Prohibition as part of their moral agenda, using it as a platform to gain political power.
Immigration and Social Tensions
Nativism and Anti-Immigrant Sentiment
The early 1920s were marked by rising nativism across the United States, reflected strongly in Indianapolis. Anti-immigrant sentiments surged following the 1921 Emergency Quota Act, which restricted immigration from Eastern and Southern Europe.
Despite these tensions, Indianapolis was home to diverse immigrant communities that contributed significantly to its labor force and cultural life. Groups such as Germans, Italians, and Eastern Europeans formed tight-knit communities that enriched the city’s social fabric.
Political Climate in 1922 Indianapolis
Political Influence of the Klan
In 1922, the Klan’s influence permeated Indiana’s political landscape. Many politicians either openly supported or tacitly endorsed Klan policies. This infiltration allowed Klan-backed candidates to gain significant power during local elections.
Pushback and Resistance
However, not all segments of society supported the KKK’s agenda. Resistance emerged from various groups including African American leaders, Catholic organizations, and progressive factions who sought to counteract its influence.
The social climate of Indianapolis in 1922 was characterized by a complex interplay of economic growth, racial tensions, cultural evolution, gender role changes, Prohibition effects, immigration challenges, and political strife. These dynamics not only shaped the immediate environment but also laid foundational elements for future developments within the city’s social fabric.

2017 marks 700 years since the beginnings of King’s Hall, the earlier of the medieval institutions from which Trinity was formed more than 200 years later by Henry VIII.
King’s Hall originated in a society of King’s Scholars, set up by Edward II in 1317, which 20 years later his son, Edward III, established as ‘The King’s Hall’.
Among the events marking the 700th anniversary are special concerts in the Chapel, and a conference about the role of universities in the fourteenth-century.
Trinity Fellow, Professor David McKitterick, welcomed the initiative to celebrate the anniversary:
As well as a celebration, the anniversary is an opportunity to reflect on Trinity’s lengthy history, the achievements of its scholars and alumni, and the College’s future role in our fast-changing world.
The Master of Trinity, Sir Gregory Winter, said:
For 700 years Trinity has served as a crucible in which knowledge is transformed by the fire of critical and independent thinking to benefit society in many different ways. The College is committed to preserving and strengthening the unique environment which enables that to take place.
Events to mark the 700th anniversary of King’s Hall
Trinity College Choir performs Bach’s B Minor Mass
Trinity College Chapel
Wednesday 11 January 2017, 7.30pm
This concert is for members of College and will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3. Widely regarded as his greatest choral work, Bach’s B Minor Mass will be performed by the College Choir, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, and an exceptional team of soloists.
The Wren Library
1 July – 31 October 2017
During the summer the Wren Library will display a selection of archival documents from the King’s Hall, charting its history and development from 1317 until is re-founding as part of Trinity College in 1546.
Universities in the Fourteenth Century
A conference to celebrate the 700th anniversary of King’s Hall, Cambridge
Winstanley Lecture Theatre
Tuesday 4 July – Wednesday 5 July 2017
This conference, organised by Trinity Fellow Professor John Marenbon, features specialists papers and two public lectures. Professor Marenbon said: ‘This celebration of Trinity’s ultimate origins aims to bring together the best experts on the different branches of university learning (logic, philosophy, science, law, medicine and theology) in the fourteenth century. We shall pay special attention to Cambridge and to King’s Hall in particular.’
All are welcome to attend the public lectures in the Winstanley Lecture Theatre (booking details available in due course):
- Tuesday 4 July, 4.30pm, William Courtenay, Professor Emeritus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
- Wednesday 5 July, 5pm, Speaker TBC.
Anyone interested in attending the more specialized papers to be presented at the conference should email Professor Marenbon [email protected]
4 July 2017, 6pm
Arranged by Trinity Fellows, Dr Sean Curran and Dr Teresa Webber, as part of the conference, this concert features the sound-world of fourteenth-century ritual as it might have been experienced by the King’s scholars, and masterpieces of musical composition from the century that followed.
The Gesualdo Six will perform the great Messe de Nostre Dame of Guillaume de Machaut, interspersed with the chants specified for a chapel’s dedication in the Sarum Rite – the English liturgical tradition from whose fund of ritual song the singers of the King’s Hall would have drawn.
In the later Middle Ages songs were also vehicles for transmitting historical knowledge and shaping narratives, sometimes within the liturgy, sometimes beyond it. The programme pairs a motet from the Roman de Fauvel, a satire about French royal politics whose unique musical manuscript source was probably compiled in Paris in 1317, with a carol celebrating the victory of Henry V at Agincourt in 1415, preserved in the Trinity Carol Roll, a music manuscript made in East Anglia in the early fifteenth century and given to the College by H. O. Roe in 1838.

TSU baseball camps underway in Troy
Published 12:00 am Friday, June 8, 2001
Troy State assistant head baseball coach Rod McWhorter and a number of Trojan players have been busy this week conducting the Troy Youth Baseball School.
The school, which started on Monday and will conclude today, is for ages 6-13 and is held at Franklin Field.
Although some young players may have missed out on this week’s inaugural baseball school, McWhorter said they’ll get a chance to participate in July. On July 9-13 there will be a second session of the Troy Youth Baseball School.
"We’ve been doing the Youth Baseball Schools for about seven years now and it keeps on getting bigger and bigger," said McWhorter, who coordinates the Youth Baseball School sessions. "This is such a great way for us to promote the game of baseball and the kids get really involved in it."
McWhorter said participants in the school are not just limited to the Troy-Pike County area and that the sessions have averaged from 30-40 youngsters per day.
"We get kids from all over the place," he said. "There’s a few players from Enterprise who have come everyday this week and we’ve had players here from Greenville, Brantley, Luverne…everywhere."
The idea of the Troy Youth Baseball Schools, said McWhorter, is for youngsters to be able to learn the basic fundamentals of the game in a stress-free atmosphere.
"For the first three hours we work on the fundamentals of throwing, fielding and batting. You can never get enough of that when learning baseball," he said. "After that we divide the kids up into age groups and let them play a game for about hour."
The school starts at 8 a.m. and runs to noon. McWhorter said the youngsters are given free T-shirts and there is an athletic trainer on hand in case of any sudden injuries.
"We keep athletic trainers here for the sake of the participants," said McWhorter. "We want the parents of these kids to know that their children are learning in a safe environment."
Besides the Youth Baseball Schools, McWhorter also coordinates the Troy State University Baseball Camps, which will hold three sessions this summer. Each session is two days long with the first day devoted to hitting and the second to pitchers and catchers exclusively. The camps are for ages 8-18.
McWhorter said the summer camps are more "specialized" in general.
"In the summer camps we put the kids through extensive drill work," he said. "Say for pitchers and catchers, they’ll be working on proper mechanics all day long and we’ll teach them some drills that they’re able to take home and work with. We like to give each player individual attention."
And that individual attention carries over when a former summer camp attendant grows into a star shortstop or pitcher in high school and starts looking for a college.
"We get to see a lot of these kids early in our camps and follow their careers through high school," said McWhorter. "And we’ve signed a lot of kids that have come through our camps. Plus it helps us out in recruiting because they’re coming to us."
Troy State’s summer baseball camps start on June 16-17. The first day will be a hitting camp and the second a pitchers/catchers camp. Both of these camps will be held at Troy State’s Riddle-Pace Field, as will the July 23-24 camp.
The July 14-15 camp will be held at Northview High School in Dothan.
"We like to hold a session in Dothan because we play some tournaments down there during the season," said McWhorter.

“I am the greatest!” Only one athlete would have been brazen – and justified – enough to proclaim himself as such. That was of course Muhammad Ali.
But while those of a certain age can’t help but agree with Ali, boxing fans still disagree constantly as to who is the Greatest Heavyweight Fighter of All-Time. The passing of time has reduced the legend of Ali as fighter but has aggrandized his sociopolitical stands to mythic proportions – and the story of his time-bending, dream-fulfilling fight against Rocky Marciano to literally determine the GOAT boxing champion is slowly dissipating in the collective consciousness.
On this episode of Truly The GOATs, we’re talking Muhammad Ali’s career, legacy, the Super Fight and the arguments of heavyweight GOAT-dom that may never be settled with Simon Walters of the You Don’t Play Boxing podcast and Dan Neumann of Sports History Network’s own Hello Old Sports podcast. And naturally we’ve got a sound bite or three from the man himself.
Truly The GOATs: We talk the greatest!

Boom-B-Qs: The ‘idle hands aspect’ of a disaster
Published 1:14 pm Friday, July 9, 2010
Editor’s note: This is the second in a series of articles about the efforts of Samantha Lovelace and several other local residents to help in the aftermath of the Gulf oil spill. The first article ran in the Tuesday, June 29 Bulletin.
People feel compelled to give during a time of crisis. Samantha Lovelace, the Mississippi native turned Polk County resident who spent more than three weeks helping with the Gulf relief effort, refers to this as the idle hands aspect of a disaster.
In other words, as individuals see and hear about other people, animals or ecosystems in danger, they tend to put their idle hands to good use in a variety of ways.
Organizations leading relief efforts always appreciate financial contributions of course, but there are non-fiscal ways to lend a hand as well.
One contribution has repeatedly made headlines in the weeks following the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion in the Gulf: hair booms. People around the world have been cutting their hair and even shearing their pets to help create these oil-absorbing booms.
Hair booms are created by filling nylons (namely ladies pantyhose) with donated hair, fur and fleece. Just as hair absorbs oil from a persons scalp, these hair booms are capable of absorbing the crude oil in Gulf coast waters.
Creating these booms and collecting the hair for the booms has become a community-style event across the country. Salons are donating pounds of hair at a time, and even individuals are hosting haircut parties for the cause.&bsp; Before Lovelace journeyed south she collected hair from many Polk County residents.
Upon arriving in the Gulf, she learned about the assembly process as well. Theyre called Boom-B-Qs: groups of volunteers meeting in warehouses to fill donated nylons with donated hair.
The heavy hair booms are placed inside donated shrimp bags with swimming noodles to facilitate flotation and are then lashed together in long lines, stretching from pier to pier along coastal property. The booms sink low enough in the water to absorb more than just surface oil, and the swimming noodles keep them from sinking when they are filled with oil.
The whole boom-making process is sustainable and natural, and warehouses along the Gulf coast are already full. The non-profit organization leading the boom effort is Matter of Trust, based out of San Francisco.
As Lisa Gautier, the president of Matter of Trust says, people desperately want to help and be involved in the relief effort, so when the call for hair donations went out, the response was overwhelming. Matter of Trust is currently working to safely and legally deploy their supply of hair boom along the coast, and is actively encouraging private citizens to use these booms on their own affected property.
Though hair booms are proven to work more effectively than manufactured booms, Lovelace says they have not been approved by BP for cleanup efforts.
According to media reports, BP has approved its own dispersant as a cleanup material, which some say is toxic in itself, and the company has also approved the use of Ottimatt. Similar to hair booms, Ottimatt uses human and animal hair to absorb oil. These large, woven mats of hair float on the waters surface and are environmentally friendly, non-hazardous and all natural, according to www.Ottimatt.com.
According to Lovelace, Matter of Trust contacted Ottimatt asking for donated mats to use in the Gulf cleanup, but was told that Ottimatt products were available for purchase but not for donation. According to Lovelace, the company, which is based in Tennessee, outsources all manufacturing to China and keeps its recipe for these approved mats a secret.
“We may have the machines, materials and know-how in order to make something similar in some of the old factories in the Carolinas,” says Lovelace. “We have friends in Hendersonville studying that now, and if we can figure out how to make the mats here, that could bring jobs back. Were open to ideas and suggestions!
Matter of Trust assures citizens in the Gulf that they have plenty of hair booms to go around; these booms are available for private citizens and municipalities local cleanup efforts.

Tullow Oil plc (Tullow) announces that CNOOC Uganda Limited (CNOOC) has informed both Tullow and Total that it will not pre-empt the sale of Tullow’s assets in Uganda to Total.
On 23 April 2020, Tullow announced that it had agreed the sale of its assets in Uganda to Total and that CNOOC had rights of pre-emption to acquire 50% of these assets on the same terms and conditions as Total. CNOOC has now informed Tullow and Total that it has elected not to exercise its pre-emption rights. Accordingly, there are no changes to the previously announced transaction or timeline and Tullow continues to expect the transaction to complete in the second half of 2020.
The transaction remains subject to a number of conditions, including approval by Tullow’s shareholders, customary government and other approvals and the execution of a binding tax agreement with the Government of Uganda and the Uganda Revenue Authority that reflects the agreed tax principles previously announced. Tullow will now look to progress the tax agreement following CNOOC’s decision not to pre-empt.

Long overdue maintenance happening. See post in the top forum.

Quote from: TeeDub on March 13, 2018, 09:45:29 AMI guess being semi-anonymous on the internet raises my level of snark. Although if you knew me, I can't say I have that much tact in real life either.I guess I have several questions that I think are relevant before I want to pay anyone more. And yes, I have never found that just throwing money at a problem produces any better results. (I also have issue with "haven't gotten a raise in 10 years" which is a blatant lie. They get raises every year based on experience, we have all seen the sheet.)1. How do I reward good employees (in this case teachers) and get rid of bad ones. At this point you can't. Through my children I have seen good, bad, and some that were adequate but just going through the motions.2. Why do all teachers get the same pay? 30k a year might be fine if someone teaches 2nd grade. It takes a much higher skill set to teach high school algebra/chemistry/etc. While I also understand that some teachers claim to work long hours grading and creating lesson plans, I can't imagine that in 3rd grade it takes long to work out if they correctly circled the subject or added the numbers correctly.3. Somewhere in the last 10 years we have introduced all day kindergarten and pre-K. How much of the budget was diverted to this subsidized childcare versus existing teacher salaries?4. Does every kid really need a chromebook/ipad? Could this money be better spent?On another note, maybe we should also take some time to reevaluate what schools should do.Schools do little to teach children about the real world. I couldn't balance a checkbook or tell you how a car loan worked when I left high school. Now they have done away with shop/etc. I use those necessary life skills way more than I use what philum an animal is in or drawing a electron diagram.Seventy [percent] of incoming college freshman told us that they have never been taught basic financial literacy skills. Yet, they are signing up for student loans, opening credit cards and making decisions that will have a serious impact on the rest of their lives.
Quote from: erfalf on March 13, 2018, 10:22:17 AMEspecially since we as communities help pay for substantial capital projects (what I would expect to be the second largest cost).
Quote from: rebound on March 13, 2018, 10:40:24 AMThose are all good points, and I do think there are a number of topics that need to be addressed related to how we teach, teach comp and retention, and on developing actual life skills (checkbook balancing, etc..) But (again, IMHO) we can't do any of that effectively unless we have good people working in the schools.
Quote from: TeeDub on March 13, 2018, 10:57:39 AMSo I should just throw money at the problem without addressing any concerns? How is that supposed to work again?
Quote from: rebound on March 13, 2018, 09:29:42 AMFirst, read Cannon's post. I may have assumed incorrectly that you are/were just being a troll and poking the bear. If not, well, "bless your heart".We have a situation where due to low pay and related issues we have been forced over the last decade to hire teachers that "normally" we would not hire. We need better quality teachers to enter the workforce. The money to do this could easily be had by reinstating the 7% production tax. After that, once the funnel starts to fill up again, we can begin weeding out the teachers that don't measure up. But we can't do that until the mechanics change, and that starts will higher pay for the job. We didn't get here overnight, and we won't fix it all overnight, but the baseline long-term issue is teacher pay and school funding. Fix that, and we can begin to work getting this back on track.
Quote from: Conan71 on March 13, 2018, 05:55:08 PM... we are now hiring teachers who are either less qualified or who have very questionable qualifications....
Quote from: TeeDub on March 14, 2018, 08:29:33 AMThe union wouldn't allow people in with "questionable" qualifications to compete with their members. They have mandated a college degree and certifications. There isn't any getting around that.
Quote from: swake on March 14, 2018, 09:38:26 AMThe union, such as it is in this state, doesn't hire anyone, the districts do. And you aren't paying attention, certification is no longer required in this state. A degree still is, but this is what all those "emergency" certifications are about. Oklahoma districts hired 1,500 new teachers this year alone that are NOT certified and do NOT have the required training as a teacher.
Quote from: TeeDub on March 14, 2018, 12:38:45 PMEmergency certifications have been around for years. Nothing new. My mother did it in the 90s as they were short math and science teachers.Just out of curiosity, does their walkout just raise the minimum salaries? What about school districts that already pay more than that?
Quote from: TeeDub on March 14, 2018, 01:31:26 PMEmergancy certifications aren't the only problems.http://www.tulsapeople.com/Tulsa-People/February-2016/The-Teaching-Sieve-The-price-of-public-service-part-I/Although science, technology, math and engineering (STEM) are educational buzzwords these days, in 2014 Oklahoma colleges produced only four certified physics teachers, 14 certified science teachers and 74 certified math teachers, according to TPS.

Turkey’s Response to the Escalating Conflict Between Israel and Hamas
Turkey’s Diplomatic Role in the Israel-Palestine Crisis
As the conflict between Israel and Hamas intensifies, Turkey’s diplomatic stance is gaining attention on the global stage. Known for its historical ties with both Palestine and Israel, Turkey’s approach to the crisis is shaped by its strategic interests, regional influence, and commitment to advocating for Palestinian rights. This article will explore how Turkey is positioning itself in this ongoing conflict and the broader implications of its diplomatic strategy.
Historical Context of Turkey’s Position
Turkey has long been a vocal supporter of Palestinian self-determination, often criticizing Israel’s policies in Gaza and the West Bank. This stance is rooted in the country’s Ottoman history, where Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire, and in modern times, it reflects Turkey’s broader regional ambitions. Under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Turkey has consistently voiced its support for the Palestinian cause on international platforms, positioning itself as a defender of Palestinian rights in the face of Israeli occupation.
However, Turkey has also maintained a complex relationship with Israel. Despite moments of tension, particularly after the Mavi Marmara incident in 2010, both countries have economic and diplomatic ties that cannot be ignored. This balancing act places Turkey in a unique position to mediate in the conflict, offering a voice for Palestinians while engaging with Israel on a practical level.
Turkey’s Diplomatic Response to the Current Crisis
In the current conflict between Israel and Hamas, Turkey has condemned Israel’s military actions in Gaza, accusing the country of disproportionate force against Palestinians. President Erdoğan has been particularly vocal, calling Israel’s actions “state terrorism” and urging the international community to take a stand against the violence.
Turkey has called for an immediate ceasefire, emphasizing the need for diplomacy and dialogue over continued escalation. This stance aligns with Turkey’s broader foreign policy, which seeks to stabilize the Middle East through diplomatic efforts rather than military intervention. At the same time, Turkey has reaffirmed its support for a two-state solution, advocating for an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Turkey’s Role in International Mediation Efforts
Turkey’s diplomatic strategy also involves engaging with other regional and global powers to mediate the conflict. Erdoğan has reached out to leaders in the Arab world, Europe, and the United States to garner support for a ceasefire and to push for renewed peace talks. Turkey’s diplomatic efforts reflect its desire to play a leading role in resolving regional conflicts, leveraging its geopolitical position and influence within international organizations like the United Nations.
Ankara’s relationship with Qatar, another supporter of Hamas, allows Turkey to act as a potential bridge between Hamas and the international community. This mediation role is particularly significant, as few countries have open channels to both parties in the conflict. By positioning itself as a mediator, Turkey seeks to enhance its regional influence and showcase its commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East.
Turkey’s Vision for the Future of the Israel-Palestine Conflict
At the heart of Turkey’s diplomatic stance is a vision for long-term peace in the region. Turkey advocates for an end to the Israeli occupation and the establishment of a viable, independent Palestinian state. This vision is in line with international law and the resolutions of the United Nations, and Turkey has continuously urged for more global accountability regarding Israel’s actions.
Turkey’s commitment to this vision is evident in its continued humanitarian support for the people of Gaza. Through organizations like the Turkish Red Crescent, Turkey provides vital aid to Palestinians affected by the conflict, further solidifying its role as both a regional power and a humanitarian actor.
Turkey’s response to the Israel-Hamas conflict is shaped by a combination of historical ties, strategic interests, and its commitment to advocating for Palestinian rights. By positioning itself as a mediator, Turkey seeks to play a central role in the resolution of the conflict, promoting diplomacy and dialogue over further violence. As the situation continues to evolve, Turkey’s diplomatic efforts will likely remain a key factor in shaping the future of the Israel-Palestine crisis.

The strain of E. coli causing the current outbreak in romaine lettuce has been found in a reservoir on a farm in Santa Barbara County, California, the US Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Thursday.
The agencies are continuing to investigate other possible sources, and the CDC still advises consumers not to eat romaine lettuce grown in California's Monterey, San Benito and Santa Barbara counties until investigations are complete.
"We cannot say how many cases are linked to this specific farm at this time," Ian Williams, chief of the CDC's outbreak response and prevention branch, said at a press briefing. "We have to do additional work at this farm and other farms that are being identified from our investigation."
Properly labeled romaine grown outside those three counties and harvested after November 23, as well as romaine grown in greenhouses or hydroponically, should all be safe from contamination, the CDC said. The earlier warning against eating romaine from California's San Luis Obispo, Santa Cruz and Ventura counties has been lifted.
The agency stressed that consumers should continue to avoid any romaine lettuce not labeled with the harvest date and location.
The CDC has identified another seven illnesses since its update December 6, bringing the total people infected with E. coli to 59 across 15 states and Washington, D.C. The last reported illness was November 16. There have been 23 hospitalizations and two cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome, a type of kidney failure. No deaths have been reported.
While calling it "premature" to call the outbreak over, Williams said it was a good sign that the most recently identified cases were in the same time period as the main outbreak.
"We're hopeful that it's moving in the right direction," Williams said. "It's still too early to tell."
The first cases in this outbreak were identified in October. States with cases include California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Wisconsin.
More potential sources
Water and sediment at the irrigation reservoir on the property of Adam Bros. Family Farms in Santa Maria tested positive for E. coli O157:H7 and was a nearly identical genetic match to the strain found in people who have fallen ill, Williams said.
But the contaminated water at that farm does not fully explain all of the illnesses so far, nor do the agencies know how the reservoir became contaminated with the bacteria.
"We don't believe this is the only location involved in the outbreak," said Dr. Stephen Ostroff, senior adviser to FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb. So far, the investigation has identified 11 distributors, nine growers and eight farms as potential sources.
Many of the affected individuals ate more than one meal of romaine, across a number of different restaurants, said the CDC, further complicating the trace-back investigation.
CNN has reached out to Adam Bros. Family Farms for comment.
E. coli infection symptoms
E. coli are a diverse family of bacteria that can be found in the environment, in foods and in the intestines of people and animals. Most strains are harmless.
To avoid becoming infected with a harmful strain, the CDC recommends using proper hygiene; cooking meat at proper temperatures; avoiding raw milk, unpasteurized dairy products and juices; and not swallowing water when swimming.
Symptoms of an E. coli infection, which usually begin about three or four days after consuming the bacteria, can include watery or bloody diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps, nausea and vomiting, according to the CDC.
Most people infected by the bacteria get better within five to seven days, though the particular strain of E. coli in the California outbreak tends to cause more severe illness.

We love to give a shout out to small businesses that do amazing work!
After having lunch at one of our favorite burger joints (Pop Top Burgers), we decided to check out the fade shop next door for my son’s haircutI was really impressed with the staff and care that went into my kiddos haircut. Kingz Throne Barbershop has only been open a couple of months but you wouldn’t know it from the skill they deliver with each and every cut. Several other people came in for a cut while we were there and were treated with the same kindness and attention. Their motto is “Treated Like Royalty, Better Yet Like Family” and it rings true.
Thanks Ernie for treating my son like an old friend while giving him an awesome cut!
If you’re ever in the Friendswood area, a stop into Kingz Throne Barbershop is a must for a great cut! @friendswoodtx
