Nano is the currency of the people. Not the institutions.
Bitcoin fees often exceed $10 per transaction. Nano has no fees, and never will.* Bitcoin transactions take an average of 10-60 minutes. Nano transactions take 0.2 seconds.* Bitcoin transactions use ~741 kWh of electricity each. Nano transactions use 0.000112 kWh.* Bitcoin can't scale past 7 tps. Nano's tps is uncapped and limited only by hardware.* Bitcoin miners will inflate its supply until the year 2140. Nano is fully distributed.Bitcoin is not the inevitable long-term "winner" of cryptocurrencies. Its technological limitations and disastrous environmental impact would create an incredibly bleak future for the everyday person. There is a clear alternative to Bitcoin, and they don't know it exists: Nano.The rumor that Nano is being suppressed by crypto miners and Bitcoin maximalists has been around for a very long time, and it makes sense. Nano works ridiculously well, and is there to eat the cake of all the miners who are raking in millions a day. BTC maxis and miners hate the word Nano, and have a strong incentive to literally pay to have it disappear from the face of the earth. Bitcoin influences on Twitter have muted the word Nano because they know their thesis is fucked when it gets mentioned.Github ref:

Title:
Paintball trauma and mechanisms of optic nerve injury: rotational avulsion and rebound evulsion.
Abstract:
Ballistic impact studies and supercomputer modeling were performed to elicit the mechanisms of optic nerve rupture that may accompany blunt ocular trauma.
Paintball ocular impact responses were studied with abattoir-fresh porcine eyes. Physics-based numerical code CTH was used to produce robust geometric and constitutive models of the eye and orbit, providing a comparative 3-D finite volume model to help determine the mechanisms underlying empirical ballistic observations.
Among 59 porcine eye specimens submitted to paintball impact in the 1- to 13-J range, 10 (17%) disengaged completely from the orbital mount. In each instance the paintball penetrated the orbit adjacent to the globe, producing rotation and eventual globe repulsion, dramatically evident on high-speed film images. Supercomputer modeling yielded similar globe-expulsive results when orbital constraints were in place, but not when these were removed. In these models, tangential (grazing) impact sheared the nerve flush with the globe via a strain rate effect within 260 μs, with minimal posterior displacement and just 5° of globe rotation. Midperipheral impact produced compressive globe distortion and posterior displacement, followed by rebound and tractional nerve avulsion 10 mm behind the lamina after 700 μs and 20° of globe rotation.
Constitutive modeling studies suggest at least two trajectory-dependent mechanisms for optic nerve rupture with paintball impact on the eye. Tangential glancing blows produce strain-rate rotational avulsion, abscising the optic nerve with minimal internal globe disruption, whereas off-center direct impact produces slower rotational-rebound evulsion, traumatizing the globe and breaching the nerve posteriorly. The latter mechanism would be expected to arise more commonly and would most likely be clinically masked by accompanying intraocular injury. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

This is a beautiful top. the detail in the pattern of the fabric is gorgeous and the color goes great with jeans. love the design of arm holes, they don't show your bra! the only con is price, but it's a keeper. | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Purchased this curtain to hang from a ceiling track to hide an ugly storage area in our bedroom. Works perfectly for the space. I like the pattern- neutral enough to not be too busy with everything else in the room but still a little pop of interest. The gray was more of a cool tone gray, but worked perfectly with our very pale blue walls. | 0 | 0 | 1 |
I purchased the dress with the bow-back shift in peach because i loved it's nautical theme pattern. when i recurve do the dress, i found it to be stiff and boxy. being a petite, short-waisted person, the top portion of the stress hung on my body awkwardly. my bra strap was showing in the back, and the dress needed to be pulled up about 2 inches to properly sit on my frame.

Acquisitions Bassian On February 25, 2019 , pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Bassian Farms, Inc. and certain affiliated entities (Bassian), a specialty protein manufacturer and distributor based in northern California. The aggregate purchase price for the transaction at acquisition date was approximately $31,990 and is subject to a customary working capital true-up. The acquisition was funded with $27,990 in cash and the issuance of a $4,000 unsecured convertible note. The Company will also pay additional contingent consideration, if earned, in the form of an earn-out amount which could total $9,000 over a four year period. The payment of the earn-out liability is subject to the successful achievement of certain gross profit targets. At March 29, 2019 and February 25, 2019 , the Company estimated the fair value of this contingent earn-out liability to be $4,080 . The Company is in the process of finalizing a valuation of the earn-out liability, and tangible and intangible assets of Bassian as of the acquisition date. These assets will be valued at fair value using Level 3 inputs. Goodwill for the Bassian acquisition will be amortized over 15 years for tax purposes. The goodwill recorded primarily reflects the value of acquiring an established meat processor to grow the Company's protein business in the West Coast region, as well as any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. The Company recognized professional fees of $178 in operating expenses related to the Bassian acquisition. For the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2019 , the Company reflected net sales of $5,527 for Bassian in its consolidated statement of operations. The Company has determined that separate disclosure of Bassian earnings is impracticable due to the commencement of integration of the Bassian business into the Company's operations in the San Francisco market. The table below sets forth the purchase price allocation of the Bassian acquisition: Bassian Current assets (includes cash acquired) $ 6,659 Customer relationships 11,984 Trademarks 6,071 Goodwill 11,247 Fixed assets 1,159 Other assets 10 Current liabilities (1,060 ) Earn-out liability (4,080 ) Total consideration $ 31,990 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Note 1 Organization, Plan of Business Operations Avenue Therapeutics, Inc. (the Company or Avenue) was incorporated in Delaware on February 9, 2015, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Fortress Biotech, Inc. (Fortress), to develop and market pharmaceutical products for the acute care setting in the United States. The Company will focus on developing its product candidate, an intravenous (IV) formulation of tramadol HCI (IV Tramadol), for moderate to moderately severe post-operative pain. Stock Purchase and Merger Agreement (the SPMA) On November 12, 2018, the Company and InvaGen Pharmaceuticals Inc. (InvaGen), entered into definitive agreements with two closing stages for a proposed acquisition of the Company for a total aggregate consideration of $215.0 million. The SPMA was approved by a majority of the Companys stockholders, including a majority of its non-affiliated stockholders, at its special shareholder meeting on February 6, 2019. On February 8, 2019, InvaGen acquired 5,833,333 shares of the Companys common stock at $6.00 (the Stock Purchase Transaction) per share for net proceeds of $31.5 million after deducting commission fees and other offering costs , representing a 33.3% stake in the Companys capital stock on a fully diluted basis. At the second stage closing, InvaGen will acquire the remaining shares of Avenues common stock, pursuant to a reverse triangular merger with Avenue remaining as the surviving entity, for up to $180.0 million in the aggregate (the Merger Transaction). The second stage closing is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including conditions pertaining to U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval, labeling, scheduling and the absence of any Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) or similar restrictions in effect with respect to IV Tramadol, as well as the expiration of any waiting period applicable to the acquisition under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the SPMA, the Company and InvaGen entered into a credit agreement (the Credit Agreement), pursuant to which InvaGen will provide initial financing to the Company in an amount of up to $3.0 million in the form of a line of credit, up to the closing of the Stock Purchase Transaction which occurred on February 8, 2019. Any amounts drawn on the line of credit will be deducted from the aggregate consideration payable to the Company pursuant to the Stock Purchase Transaction. As of December 31, 2018, no amounts were drawn on this line of credit. Subject to the terms and conditions described in the SPMA, the Buyer may also provide interim financing to the Company in an amount of up to $7.0 million during the time period between the Stock Purchase Transaction (which occurred on February 8, 2019) and the Merger Transaction. Any amounts drawn on the interim financing will be deducted from the aggregate consideration payable to Company stockholders by virtue of the Merger Transaction. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, Fortress and InvaGen entered into a guaranty (the Guaranty), pursuant to which Fortress guaranteed the full payment to InvaGen, when due, of all amounts of (x) all obligations of the Company to InvaGen under the Credit Agreement, whether for principal interest, fees, charges, expenses or otherwise, and (y) any and all costs and expenses incurred by InvaGen in enforcing any of its rights under the Guaranty. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has incurred substantial operating losses since its inception and expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future as it executes on its product development plan and may never become profitable. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $42.2 million. | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Two and a half stars, really.
This place is really quite strange. Video coffee bar? I don't have much to compare it to, I guess.
We'll start with the coffee: traditional espresso macchiato. No microfoam, large bubbles in the milk, too hot to drink right away. The shot was good, but by the time it was cool enough to drink had lost quite a bit of flavor.
Very friendly service, on the other hand. Given that Phoenix-foam tends to be subpar, I tend to think that service and atmosphere are almost more viable measures for successful coffeeshops than coffee. (in Phoenix)
The actual place was pretty odd. Large paintings of Mexican sugar skulls in the back, nice chairs and tables, an orange faux-finish on the walls... And then the video bar element. Three huge flatscreens on the wall playing pop music videos from the '90s. Very strange, in my opinion. I'm not sure that Cher and Madonna really mesh with coffee shop, but I guess they're trying something new.
I had a nice time lounging and it was relatively quiet with regularly good lighting. | 1 | 0 | 0 |

Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue when: there is persuasive evidence of an agreement or arrangement; delivery of products has occurred or services have been rendered; the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company's principal revenue streams and their respective accounting treatments are discussed below: Fees Pension and welfare and South African participating merchants The Company provides a welfare benefit distribution service to the South African Social Security Agency ("SASSA"). Fee income received for these services is recognized in the statement of operations when distributions have been made to the recipient cardholders. Recipient cardholders are able to load their welfare grants at merchants enrolled in the Company's participating merchant system in certain provinces. There is no charge to the recipient cardholder to load the grant onto a smart card at the merchant location, however, a fee is charged to the merchant for purchases made at the merchant using the smart card. A fee is also charged to the merchant when the recipient cardholder makes a cash withdrawal. Fee income received for these services is recognized in the statement of operations when the transaction occurs. Fees related to management of card issuance programs and utilization of ATMs The Company manages card issuance programs and owns ATMs in South Africa from which it generates fee revenue. Fee revenue generated from card issuance programs includes interchange and other miscellaneous fees, which are recorded when cardholder transact at either a POS or an ATM. Fee revenue generated from utilization of ATMs includes cash withdrawal, balance enquiry, insufficient funds and other miscellaneous ATM fees which are recorded when an ATM user performs a transaction at an ATM.

In November 2015, 197 countries came together in Paris and agreed to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase on our planet to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The Climate Action Tracker monitors the climate commitments and actions of 36 countries, totalling roughly 80 percent of today's global greenhouse gas emissions. Here's the bad news: those emissions are still rising and have already warmed the globe by 1.1 degrees Celsius. The tracker makes two problems clear. First, countries have not set emissions targets ambitious enough to reach the goals of the Paris Agreement. Even if every country hit their targets, the temperature would still increase by more than two degrees Celsius over the next 70 years, and continue to rise into the 22nd century and beyond. Second, governments are simply not delivering even on their unambitious targets. Everything these 36 countries have done so far, and everything they are currently planning, will only slow the growth in emissions. We need to do more than that. To have a hope of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees, we need to cut global emissions in half by 2030 and get to net zero by 2050. Let's go through the numbers. Of the 36 countries analyzed, only two are taking enough action to restrain global warming to 1.5 degrees. The Gambia has pledged to reduce its emissions, despite being one of the developing countries that has contributed least to the problem. And Morocco is building more and more solar power. Every other country is failing. 2020 is the year national governments were supposed to come together and strengthen their targets. So far, only a few have done so while others have announced they're sticking with their existing insufficient targets. Now, some countries aren't too far behind The Gambia and Morocco, such as India and Kenya. But the countries with the most advanced economies, those with the greatest capacity to innovate and help others, are shirking their responsibilities to lead. The United States is currently withdrawing from the Paris Agreement. China shows promise; its pledge to balance out its carbon emissions by 2060 could save the world as much as 0.3 degrees Celsius of global warming. But actions on the ground remain divided. China is the largest market for wind and solar power, but also for new coal-fired power plants. And the EU is taking steps in the right direction with its green deal to make member countries more sustainable. But this deal is still not enough for 1.5 degrees. So are there any signs of hope? One key measure is a country's willingness to clean up electricity. Clean power can enable other sectors to reduce or eliminate emissions. More than 50 countries, 30 regions, 160 cities and 200 businesses have committed to 100 percent clean electricity. Denmark, Scotland and the state of South Australia are almost there already, but much of the world still needs to commit to, and accelerate, this energy transition. There's more good news in the transportation sector. More than 20 countries, five regions, 50 cities and 60 businesses have already committed to 100 percent emission-free cars, motorcycles and buses. Norway is mandating the end of all sales of fossil fuel cars by 2025. Meanwhile, the US is allowing companies to make cars that don't travel as far on a gallon of gas, rolling back fuel efficiency standards. Other sectors, such as steel and cement-making or aviation and shipping, are even further behind and trickier to clean up. But some steel and cement companies are developing carbon-free production, and Norway and Scotland are targeting carbon-free short-haul flights. In November 2015, 197 countries came together in Paris and set targets to fight climate change. These targets were already insufficient to reach the stated goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, and most are not on track to achieve even their own inadequate targets. We need more ambitious targets and much more ambitious actions. In the next decade, we need to transform key sectors of the global economy in order to reduce emissions. These changes will be difficult but not impossible, because they will also bring enormous opportunities like creating millions of jobs. And don't lose track of this key point: such a transformation will also mean cleaner air and a safer, more stable climate for all. | 1 | 0 | 0 |

Oxygen is MAGNETIC?!
Fun fact about the hot iron becoming non-magnetic. Traditional blacksmiths use this as an indicator of temperature of the iron that they're working, showing that it's at the right temperature for the carbon atoms to line up inside the crystalline matrix of the iron atoms and alloy to form steel. When your sword is just about done, heat until it's non-magnetic and immediately quench it to lock in the hardness. | 1 | 0 | 0 |

This PhD thesis seeks to quantify the economic, social and environmental effects of the gold mining sector as a component of foreign direct investments in Tanzania and its contribution to poverty alleviation. In addition to highlighting the socio-economic gains and losses, by exploring the corporate the social responsibility policies and practices, the book also traces the private-public partnerships with local communities around the two mines under consideration (Bulyanhulu Gold Mine Ltd. in Kahama District and Geita Gold Mine Ltd. in Geita District, north-western Tanzania). The book is expected to further stimulate the debate on the relationship between profit, corporate income taxes and corporate social responsibility as well as its implication for foreign mining companies. It also sheds more light on the contribution of the mining sector to Tanzania's economy. The book concludes that the economic growth associated with the mining boom, albeit limited, is significant to the rural communities around the mines | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Now, since this is TEDGlobal, who can tell me what this is called in French? I see you're all up on the history of hurdy-gurdy -- "vielle à roue." And in Spanish, "zanfona." And in Italian, "ghironda," okay? Hurdy-gurdy, or wheel fiddle. So, these are the different kinds and shapes of the hurdy-gurdy. The hurdy-gurdy is the only musical instrument that uses a crank to turn a wheel to rub strings, like the bow of a violin, to produce music. It has three different kinds of strings. The first string is the drone string, which plays a continuous sound like the bagpipe. The second string is a melody string, which is played with a wooden keyboard tuned like a piano. And the third string is pretty innovative. It's also the only instrument that uses this kind of technique. It activates what's called the buzzing bridge, or the dog. When I turn the crank and I apply pressure, it makes a sound like a barking dog. So all of this is pretty innovative, if you consider that the hurdy-gurdy appeared about a thousand years ago and it took two people to play it; one to turn the crank, and another person -- yes -- to play the melody by physically pulling up large wooden pegs. Luckily, all of this changed a couple of centuries later. So, one person could actually play and almost -- this is pretty heavy -- carry the hurdy-gurdy. The hurdy-gurdy has been used, historically, through the centuries in mostly dance music because of the uniqueness of the melody combined with the acoustic boombox here. And today, the hurdy-gurdy is used in all sorts of music -- traditional folk music, dance, contemporary and world music -- in the U.K., in France, in Spain and in Italy. And this kind of hurdy-gurdy takes anywhere from three to five years [to order and receive it]. It's made by specialized luthiers, also in Europe. And it's very difficult to tune. So without further ado, would you like to hear it? (Audience: Yes.) Caroline Phillips: I didn't hear you. Would you like to hear it? (Audience: Yes!) CP: Okay. There I go. I'd like to sing in Basque, which is the language spoken in the Basque Country where I live, in the region in France and Spain. (Music) [Basque] (Music) Thank you. (Applause) This is a song that I wrote based on traditional Basque rhythms. And this is a song that has a kind of a Celtic feel. (Music) Thank you. Thank you. (Applause) | 0 | 0 | 1 |
SHOCKED
I have had complication with regard to submitting my income tax as my previous employee did not obtain a tax directive. After months of fighting, they finally did it and I was able to submit my return which I did on the 29th October 2015. My husband submitted his on the same day as we worked for the same company, He was paid out his refund no problems, within 3 days. I was told that I needed to pay R1800 for my business - and that was why my refund was being held up. So, I paid the R1800 the next day and thought that was the end of it. This whole time I have been continuously checking my efiling and there are NO alerts - it says my assessment has been received and assessed. I have been calling into SARS for the past WEEK and have been told that I am being audited. So I asked why and what they are requiring of me for the audit - I was told, \Only the auditing department can tell you that but they cannot take calls". Then this morning I went into Umhlanga SARS and was REFUSED help by the receptionist! She told me that they are unable to help me and I must simply wait 60days. I then called again and was told that I must go into the branch!!!!!! Nobody can give me a reason!!!""" | 1 | 0 | 0 |
The European Commission published the Fourth Review report of Spain's compliance with the Financial Assistance Programme for the Recapitalisation of Financial Institutions. The report is based on the findings of a joint European Commission (EC)/European Central Bank (ECB) mission to Madrid during 16 – 27 September 2013.
The mission found that the stabilisation and repair of the financial sector have advanced further amid tentative signs of economic recovery. The timely and adequate implementation of the policy conditionality of the programme, together with visible progress with growth-enhancing structural reforms, contributed to a return of investor confidence.
In sum, the programme remains on track and the resilience of the financial sector has increased, so that there is no reason to foresee further programme disbursements at this stage. Two disbursements were made so far in a total amount of about EUR 41.3 billion for the recapitalisation of State aided banks and the capital injection into Sareb. The rest of the Spanish banks either were not diagnosed with a capital shortfall in the stress test or were able to cover it by private means | 0 | 1 | 0 |

There is only so much space to build libraries on school campuses. Plus building anything would cost way more than 6.5 million. More like 30-50 million. Instead they should offer to fund collage scholarships (eg minimum 5 million “contribution”, limited to two donations/students per year) and see if the schools take that in exchange for admittance. I guess it would be a pretty blatant bribe though, more so than building a library. | 1 | 0 | 0 |

Title:
Leveraging material properties in fluorescence anion sensor arrays: a general approach.
Abstract:
As the demand for probes suitable for sensor development increases, investigation of approaches that utilize known successful receptors gains in general importance. This study describes a two-prong approach that can be used as a guide to developing sensors from known receptors. First, the conversion of a simple receptor, calix[4]pyrrole, into a fluorescent probe to establish a ratiometric signal is described. Secondly, the sensors that employ an output from a single ratiometric calix[4]pyrrole probe are fabricated by using poly(ether-urethane) hydrogel copolymers. These hydrogels are designed to absorb, internalize and transport aqueous electrolytes. A sensor array of ten different poly(ether-urethane) matrices with varying comonomer proportions were doped with a single probe and were exposed to eight different anions: acetate, benzoate, fluoride, chloride, phosphate, pyrophosphate, hydrogen sulfide, and cyanide, eight urine samples and anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The poly(ether-urethane) matrices comprise different proportions of anion-binding urethane moieties and different hydrophilicity given by the ratio between ethylene glycol ether and butylene glycol ether. This diversity in the hydration behavior provides different environment polarity, in which the recognition and self-assembly processes display enough diverse behavior to allow for unique response of the probe to the analytes. Furthermore, a single probe is shown to recognize eight different aqueous anions and eight urine samples when embedded in ten different polyurethanes in an array that displays 100 % classification accuracy. To demonstrate the potential of the concept for quantitative studies, an estimation of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ibuprofen and diclofenac in water and in saliva was performed. A limit of detection of 0.1 ppm and a dynamic range of 0.1-0.6 and 0.05-60 ppm was observed, respectively. Given the general difficulty of chemosensors to recognize aqueous anions, the fact that one probe recognizes eight different analytes attests to an enormous effect of the polymer environment on the recognition process. This method could be used to generate a variety of sensor arrays for various analyses including species that are difficult to recognize, such as small-molecule- and inorganic anions. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

While mobile payments have been adopted by a huge number of businesses, the body of knowledge regarding user trust in mobile payments shows that trust is a major issue in its adoption and development. The purpose of this study was to better understand the factors that influence consumer trust in mobile payments in one significant country in this region; The United Arab Emirates (UAE) as the research region. The UAE is one of the leading economies in the Middle East Arab region, and mobile technology is well advanced and widely utilised.
An analysis of relevant literature provided the basis for the development of a conceptual model. The model, classified into five logical groups (consumer characteristics, environmental influences, provider characteristics, perceived risks and mobile-device characteristics), was further explored, validated, extended and tested through a mixed-method methodology, combining both qualitative (phase one) and quantitative (phase two) approaches, with semi-structured interviewing in exploratory focus groups and an online survey being used respectively.
The findings of the qualitative phase were used to clarify the appropriateness of the preliminary Consumer Trust in Mobile Payments (CTMP) model, which was accordingly revised and extended. The second phase (the quantitative approach) was based on a survey of 340 respondents in the UAE. The collected data were analysed by using Structural Equation Modelling with the Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) approach. Many of the factors in the qualitative CTMP model were successfully validated and statistically significant. The resulting, quantitatively weighted CTMP model shows that users‟ awareness and provider‟s trustworthiness are the most positive influential factor, followed by perceive security levels and device-design suitability. Customers‟ uncertainty avoidance, on the other hand, is the most negatively influential factor on trust, followed by perceived privacy risks associated with m-payments. The model contributes towards better acceptance and usage of mobile payments. The findings also provide a number of theoretical implications for academic research and useful information for practitioners | 1 | 0 | 0 |

Material wealth creation / destruction should surpass earlier computing cycles. The mobile Internet cycle, the 5th cycle in 50 years, is just starting. Winners in each cycle often create more market capitalization than in the last. New winners emerge, some incumbents survive – or thrive – while many past winners falter.
The mobile Internet is ramping faster than desktop Internet did, and we believe more users may connect to the Internet via mobile devices than desktop PCs within 5 years.
Five IP-based products / services are growing / converging and providing the underpinnings for dramatic growth in mobile Internet usage – 3G adoption + social networking + video + VoIP + impressive mobile devices.
Apple + Facebook platforms serving to raise the bar for how users connect / communicate – their respective ramps in user and developer engagement may be unprecedented.
Decade-plus Internet usage / monetization ramps for mobile Internet in Japan plus desktop Internet in developed markets provide roadmaps for global ramp and monetization.
Massive mobile data growth is driving transitions for carriers and equipment providers.
Emerging markets have material potential for mobile Internet user growth. Low penetration of fixed-line telephone and already vibrant mobile value-added services mean that for many EM users and SMEs, the Internet will be mobile | 1 | 0 | 0 |
YESPLAY BETTING HORRIBLE HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!!!
I deposited R50 into my account via the app using the OZOW instant pay platform on the app, on Saturday morning [27-08-2022]. As per usual, the account will be credited with the amount within 60 seconds or so. My account was not credited. I then proceeded to write to the Yespaly support team, as I could not reach them on their 021 200..telephone number. It beats me why you run a 24/7 betting business and yet you have no Call centre agents on Saturday and Sunday. If there were available say till 3/4 that will be understandable. I received an automated message with reference 12379. Nothing happened till Monday 29th. I called Call centre in the morning. Spoke to Yekelwa, she says they sent me an e-mail requesting me to provide POP. I never received an -e-mail from them. I then proceeded to provide her POP. She promised to send POP and that matter would be resolved. Nothing happened whole day. I called later in the day, spoke to Loyiso, forwarded him e-mail I had sent to Yekelwa. He promised to escalate to accounts. Tuesday morning, nothing still. No credit in my account, no e-mail from Yekelwa or her colleague. I call again, she tells me that my matter is being attended to. I enquire further, she says, my query is still waiting to be attended to. I literally have to scream and raise my voice for her to contact accounts. She then tells me that they told her deposits take 2-3 days because I am using Nedbank, and their account is FNB, and a story about i deposited less than R100 my money wont reflect immediately.
You need to employ pp more clued up about your systems Really... I point out to her that I used OZOW, instant payment, she says "oooh okay, then it should have reflected". I then tell her that but I have been trying to tell you the same thing. all along and you've not been listening to me. I ask to speak to someone more Senior or to be transferred to an accounts person, she says she cant. She just says they'll escalate my matter. Ive spent time and airtime over a R50 voucher.
* Yesplay is an incompetent betting platform with horrible terrible turnaround times.
*You win they take hours to reflect money on your account.
*You try and withdraw winnings. The withdrawal voucher takes over half a day to be sent to your mobile. After you receive voucher, there's No PIN, you must call again just to request them to send you a pin.
*Granted, you may provide better odds, and more innovation with bets, that counts for nothing, when your Customer service sucks!!
Get your House in order or you'll lose a lot of clients.
Youre better off with Hollywoodbets, winnings reflect instantly, withdrawals are proceed within an hour at the most, usually 5-10 minutes.
As I type, I am still waiting to be credited my R50 voucher. I do not recommend anyone else to join or sign-up at this stage. Stay away. | 0 | 1 | 0 |

The Company leases 27 of its 28 hotel properties to subsidiaries of RLJ LP. Liquidity and Management's Plans The Company's hotel property-owning subsidiaries (the Lessors) lease the hotel properties to property-operating lessees owned by TRS subsidiaries of RLJ (the Lessees). The Company receives related party lease revenue from these lease agreements, including percentage rent. The percentage rent amounts are calculated based on a percentage of room revenues, food and beverage revenues and other revenues at the hotel properties. In response to the near elimination of travel and hotel demand resulting from the spread of the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) and the related government mandates, the Company had previously announced RLJ's suspension of operations at 13 of the Company's hotel properties. As government mandated stay-in-place restrictions are lifted, RLJ, for itself and on behalf of the Company, has developed a framework to open hotels in a socially and financially responsible way. The Company's primarily transient oriented and extended stay hotels located in drive-to and leisure markets will re-open sooner than traditional full-service hotels. As of June 30, 2020, RLJ had reopened six of the Company's hotel properties, has subsequently reopened an additional two of the Company's hotel properties and continues to evaluate reopening additional hotel properties based on market conditions. In the event stay-in-place restrictions are reinstated, RLJ would consider temporarily suspending hotel operations where there is no adequate demand. The ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the hotel properties' operations continue to have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial results and liquidity, and such adverse impact may continue well beyond the containment of such outbreak. Since the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our operations will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, the Company cannot estimate the impact on its business, financial condition or near- or longer-term financial or operational results with reasonable certainty. In addition, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Lessees negotiated for and were granted an abatement on base rent of $17.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The Company owes the Lessees $2.9 million for reimbursement of rent as of June 30, 2020, which is included in related party rent payable on the consolidated balance sheet. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, RLJ LP contributed $50.0 million to the Company to ensure that the Company can service its debt and maintain its operations. In addition, given the impact on lodging demand, the Company has taken various actions to help mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on its operating results and to preserve liquidity. Measures the Company has taken include: Capital Investment Reduction: The Company reduced its 2020 capital expenditure program by deferring all capital investments, other than completing projects that are substantially underway and nearing completion. Return on Investment ("ROI") Project Suspensions: The Company suspended most of the 2020 ROI projects. | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Title:
[Clinical randomized controlled trial on ultrashort wave and magnetic therapy for the treatment of early stage distal radius fractures].
Abstract:
To explore the effect of application of ultrashort wave and magnetic therapy instrument on the swelling regression in distal radius fractures treated by splint external fixation in initial stage.
From March 2007 to May 2010,90 patients with distal radial fracture were treated by manual reduction and splint external fixation. After manual reduction and small splints external fixation, these patients were randomly divided into electrical physical therapy group, western medicine group and the control group by the order of calling number, with 30 cases each group. In control group, there were 9 males and 21 females with an average age of (61.29 +/- 1.97) years, the patients raised and exercise the limb and fingers only. The other two groups also carried out this treatment. In electrical physical therapy group, there were 9 males and 21 females with an average age of (62.37 +/- 2.48) years, the patients were treated with ultrashort wave and magnetic therapy instrument for early intervention, once a day, 5 days for a course of treatment and three cycle were operated. In western medicine group,there were 8 males and 22 females with an average age of (60.12 +/- 2.87) years, the patients were injected with beta-aescin (20 mg, intravenous injection,once a day) for 5 days, followed by Danshen injection (20 ml, intravenous injection, once a day) for 10 days. The limb swelling of patients were assessed every day for 20 days after manual reduction and small splints external fixation.
The time of swelling regression in electrical physical therapy group, western medicine group and the control group were respectively (9.62 +/- 3.32), (10.05 +/- 3.05) and (14.57 +/- 2.93) days. Both of that in electrical physical therapy group and western medicine group were shorter than that in the control group (P<0.05), then there were not statistical difference between electrical physical therapy group and western medicine group (P>0.05). The effective rate of swelling regression in electrical physical therapy group, western medicine group and the control group were 86.67%, 80.00%, 46.66% respectively. There was no significant differences between electrical physical therapy group and western medicine group in the curative effect, but both of them had advantage over the control group.
Application of ultrashort wave and magnetic therapy instrument for treatment of distal radial fractures in initial stage can promote the regression of limb swelling evidently, which is similar to the intravenous infusion of beta-aescin injection and Danshen injection in curative effect. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

In a highly globalised world where all production and consumption activities are internationally intertwined and the environmental consequences of those actions are hard to identify, rethinking the role of work in our societies according to sustainability principles is a complex but highly necessary task. Salaried work has become one of the crucial indicators to analyse any country in the world. By looking at the proportion of the population that is employed, the working conditions they have, and how productive they are when performing their tasks, it is possible to produce an image of a country's society to assist in the understanding of the levels of well-being of its citizens. Work and labour markets not only largely structure the way the economy and society function, they also heavily influence an individual's life satisfaction and happiness; virtually the entire life of a person is designed around their work. Given the relevance work has at all levels, diving into the concept of sustainable work is a crucial project due to the urgency of environmental matters. The biggest role humanity faces is how to transform our societies so that they are sustainable from a social, ecological and economic perspective. For the sustainable society vision, work would need to be drastically altered in order to adapt it to the multi-dimensional sustainability requirements. This research aims to contribute to this enterprise by identifying the conditions that define the sustainability of work and then present an overview of seven European countries from this perspective. The present document introduces our conceptualisation of work and explains its main components. These are designed around the idea of the sustainable society and are composed of individuals' needs, equity and planetary boundaries. The final section concludes and introduces the different country-case studies. (authors' abstract)Series: WWWforEurop | 1 | 0 | 0 |

With the rapid development of the global economy, intellectual capital has become a critical driver of a business's sustainability. The essential difference between companies operating in the 'old' and the 'new' economy is that, where value in the past was created within industrial sectors such as manufacturing, education, retail, wholesale and financial services, value in the future will be created primarily from the application of knowledge. Increasingly, the main assets of 'smart' companies will be in the form of intellectual, and not physical, capital. Technology development is a logical product of intellectual capital. Thus, in the new economic paradigm, companies perceive technology developments as necessary commercial activities to underpin their competitive standings, and provide a platform for economic growth, profitability and shareholder value. However, the development of commercially viable intellectual capital projects also requires substantial investments in intellectual property, often without certainties of success. Since valuation techniques and processes are crucial for business investments, this paper evaluates the various methods that are currently used to value intellectual capital and intellectual property, and finds that, in view of substantial inadequacies, there has arisen an imperative need to develop a n e w process for valuing these | 1 | 0 | 0 |

We would recommend them to anyone looking to develop an app, without hesitation.!21:56 09 Jun 20I was introduced to Cosmico Studios by a good friend of mine with a high recommendation for the company. I was informed by my boss that I my new project involved restructuring a start-up that needed help. Its core and foundation was their platform, an online-distribution company. With a degree in communications, all I had going for me was communication, not web developing!Fortunately, Cosmico Studios was able to interpret my issues. I explained Where the platform currently was, how it is currently operating the company, and where we envisioned the company as our end goal.Without hesitation, Kenny, explained the complication, in simplified web developing language, which made everything even easier, more efficient and of course, leaving us one step closer to our end goal as a company, overall. We currently have increased the flexibility and simplified functionality for end users, gained past customers who stopped doing business with the company in the past due to difficulty guiding themselves through our site and now, we are currently in the process of extending our business and site to reach a higher volume of clientele and of course, sales!After speaking with several developers, I was most appreciative of the first consultation given by Kenny. The honest and genuine results saved of 10's of thousands of dollars and can't thank him enough for it! I have not waiting more than 10 min to receive a response from Cosmico till this day and having this peace of mind while running many companies is one of the many crucial things I am grateful for.Thanks Cosmico!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR HIGH QUALITY, VERY EXPERIENCED WORK AND HONEST CUSTOMER SERVICE.Cheers,!17:55 06 May 20Kenny is a pleasure to work with.

If you want someone that is going to help you create the vision you have in mind, or someone that is going to give you insight to world of social media marketing, there is really no where else to go, but to Kenny at Cosmico Studios!!!22:19 13 Apr 20Cosmico Studios took over our social media about a month ago. Since they have taken over, we can tell a big difference in the quality of content, customer interaction, and creativity of marketing strategies. They are absolutely wonderful to work with and they are extremely helpful! If we could give them 10 stars we would! Highly recommend!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!21:25 13 Apr 20I would highly recommend Cosmico Studios to anyone looking for a professional team to develop a website, but one that still embraces a customer satisfaction methodology. They are proof that you don't have to sacrifice the hands-on personal touch to get a high quality result! 🙂!17:23 09 Jan 20Cosmico Studios is an exemplary model to follow in today's fast-moving, quick reaction time, innovative media landscape.

I understand feeling strongly about a subject but there is no need to put down the people who do agree with this. Your reason #4 is also an opinion but one that could have been kept to yourself. People who have unprotected sex and "accidentally" get pregnant are just ignorant no arguments and yes there are a few "reasons" that I disagree with in here but over-all it is pretty well structured and I think abortion should be an option for everyone because sometimes it's is for the better because of the living situation that child might be put in or the circumstances they might have to deal with there is no absolute way to tell how someone may come out. The mother and the father should also have a chance at living a normal life. If that child is something that could derail their entire life maybe for them it's better that they abort. Yes there are other options such as adoption but some people feel like they are giving up on their children before they even know them so it just makes it easier for them to cope if they abort. It's not our lives we don't make the decisions and we should not judge other for the decisions they make we cannot control the anyway so why even bother with it? | 0 | 0 | 1 |

Failure to deliver as per verbal agreement.
On the 12/01/2015 an ADT technician came to my house to do a routine inspection of my alarm system, upon which it was discovered that one of the motion sensors are not in working order. The technician then promptly agreed to send an email as soon as he was back at the office in order to create awareness of the problem, and assured me that someone would come over to repair the broken motion sensor as soon as possible. It has been nearly a week and I have received no feedback from ADT regarding this matter, even after I had sent numerous emails, one of which was to the head office. This is utterly unacceptable and leaves my family and I feeling vulnerable and unsafe. | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Lines blocked thanks to a TELKOM mobile error - No joy whatsoever!!!
On the 24 April we went to process an upgrade. We were told the Telkom store at Mall of the South was offline and they had no stock of the device. They referred us to the iPhone store at the Glen. It took two weeks to finalise the upgrade and we were able to collect the new device on the 2nd May.
An sms stating we have reached our credit limit was received and shortly thereafter another sms stating our lines would be blocked.
After investigating, the iPhone store who was really great, confirmed that Telkom had processed our upgrade incorrectly and billed us R19000 as a device obligation fee. This over and above almost R1000 per month for 24 months.
I have now called 3 or 4 times to get this resolved as our mobile devices are blocked. Each time i call the contact centre, there seems to be no record of my previous calls and now get told the turn around time is about 72 hours for them to open my lines and rectify the upgrade.
So through their error or incompetence, I am the one who is now inconvenienced and am still sitting with an invoice of over R21000.Totally unacceptable. | 0 | 1 | 0 |

We can see things moving faster than light
I’ve always thought that objects and atoms become bigger as the universe expands. That as light moves through space and the hypothetical ruler we use to measure distance expands. So the only way, as per I was taught, to prove the expansion was the red shift. This comes from the analogy that the universe was once the size of today’s atom or smaller. Does that hold true in this case? | 0 | 0 | 1 |

Disgusting service
Very poor service offered to a client of 12 years , If this is how they treat loyal customers I feel sorry for the new ones.
I have not lodged a claim for 12 years , I had a water leak last year and put through a claim for bathroom and flooring repairs that was rejected as according to them it was not specified and was told to move to a fully comprehensive option . I did as suggested at a major additional cost per month. It comes at no surprise that when I put a claim in last week for a flooring issue it was rejected. The best of all it took 2 weeks and many calls from my side to follow up to receive the bad news.
I seriously would not recommend Outsurance to anyone.
I foresee the ombudsman having to get involved and a cancellation of my policy. | 1 | 0 | 0 |
This research aims to evaluate the diversification strategy of the Cyprus coastal tourism product by investigating the degree of success of the strategy in fulfilling its goals of economic improvement, tourist satisfaction increase and image enhancement. The evaluation of the strategy’s success is performed through an examination of statistics whereby tourism revenue, tourist arrivals, seasonality and the competitive position of the Cyprus tourism product are assessed through secondary research. Primary research is performed to explore the degree of destination image enhancement and tourist satisfaction improvement. In particular, a comparison of the projected and the perceived image of the destination is performed to explore any similarities and/or dissimilarities whereas the satisfaction of tourists is measured across several destination attributes. In tourism studies the diversification concept has not been extensively examined as little attention has been given to the repositioning strategy of coastal resorts. Hence, the conditions under which the application of the strategy becomes imperative are examined to increase the understanding of tourism product diversification. The research focuses on Cyprus which was selected as a case study for the following reasons: a) it is a popular Mediterranean ‘sea and sun’ destination and b) it has been trying to reposition itself through diversification of its tourism product | 1 | 0 | 0 |

* SAFE GUN STORAGE INFORMATION
Safe firearm storage is one of many preventative actions that you can take to keep our children safe. When firearms are stored safely, they can help prevent them from getting into the hands of children and teens, who may use them to, intentionally or unintentionally, harm themselves or others. Safe storage can go a long way in preventing lives from being lost or permanently altered. If you have firearms in your home or if your child spends time in a space where firearms are present, there are essential steps that can be taken to keep firearms secured and out of reach of unintended users. Please review the following documents for safety tips.

I've been here twice now for the lunch buffet and the second time I even brought a friend who was a foodie and both times it was great. They have a great selection of dips on the buffet, a few salads and many warm entrees to choose from.
I recommend taking a little bit of everything and if you follow my rule, you won't be disappointed. Everything is absolutely delicious and you'll have fun guessing the spices in the various dishes.
If you're in the mood for some tasty middle eastern food, I would really recommend it. It's a little short on ambiance, but with flavors like that, who's looking anywhere but their plate? | 0 | 0 | 1 |

## **About Us**
| Picture | Toa Tumaini Foundation was created to support local Tanzanian efforts to better the lives of vulnerable children in rural Tanzania. Our current projects are focused in a couple of rural villages just outside of Moshi Tanzania. We work in partnership with a locally-founded organization called Project Hope to provide support, fundraising, and advocacy to the children and community they serve. We band together with friends in America, like you, to help raise awareness and funds on their behalf.We believe that partnerships lead to success and sustainability and so we pride ourselves on the "togetherness" we have built internally, within our organization and externally, with our native partners and community members.Don't miss out on the opportunity to join our family of world changers today. |

## **MEET OUR TEAM**
| Picture Kelsey Potter Founder | Vertical Divider Kelsey has an educational background in social work and a career background working with refugees, immigrants, and other international populations. She spends her free time fully immersed in passions of writing, traveling, essential oils and holistic wellness. She took her first trip to Tanzania in the summer of 2011, where she volunteered in a local nursery school and met a local volunteer named Carles. Less than a year later Kelsey partnered with Carles in his dream to open Project Hope Nursery School in an underserved village in rural Tanzania. She returned to Tanzania in 2013 to work with the children and community served by Project Hope School and fell immediately in love. She now travels to Tanzania annually in order to visit the children and community, and work with our local team to measure success and develop new programs. Kelsey enjoys meeting with the Project Hope community to discuss ways in which to improve and expand the programs that we provide. She is dedicated to the work of Toa Tumaini Foundation and the community she has come to know and love. |
| Picture Caitlin McCaliano president | Vertical Divider Caitlin holds her bachelor’s degree in psychology as well as a Montessori Certification specializing in children from birth to age three. Throughout her career, Caitlin has always been involved with education, humanitarianism, and public service. She has worked with children and adults with disabilities, taught in a Montessori classroom, and volunteered locally and globally with at-risk youth and their families. In 2011, Caitlin volunteered in Tanzania with Cross-Cultural Solutions, an organization that improves education and health opportunities for communities that need it most. During Caitlin's work in Tanzania, she experienced first-hand the struggles that the local community had with obtaining basic needs and education, and she was struck by their overwhelming spirit of generosity in the face of this adversity, always welcoming visitors into the home to offer what very little they have. This eye-opening experience put life into perspective for Caitlin, who continues to admire and advocate for the people in Tanzania. She is dedicated to helping support the community there through her work with the amazing board of the Toa Tumani Foundation. |

As a matter of fact, Aaron spent many years taking extended hiking trips each year and was excited when he was able to spend his hiking trip of 2017 climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro while on a voluntour trip with Toa Tumaini Foundation. He began volunteering with TTF in 2016, helping document and track donations and assisting with fundraising opportunities. Aaron's volunteering on the board turned into two voluntour trips to Tanzania during which he has enjoyed exploring the amazing country and working with the incredible people. He currently serves as Director of Photography and Media, assisting with the nonprofit's online presence. |

Mitch brings to TTF his extensive experience working with and supporting children through over ten years of coaching youth sports and as a leader in the Boy Scouts of America.

Though she loved all the sunshine Florida offered, she knew she wanted to travel and experience other places. She picked up a travel contract as an RN and was on the west coast for a couple of years, and then she met the love of her life and made the move to Wisconsin where she volunteered and eventually worked for a refugee resettlement agency, which is where she met Kelsey. After living abroad for a couple of years, Bela moved back to Florida with her husband and two rescued Arabic cats. She is excited and happy to be a part of the TTF team. |

## Education Programs
**Your donations provide education to children in need.**
| Toa Tumaini Foundation was founded to support local Tanzanian efforts surrounding education. In 2012 we opened Project Hope Nursery School in a small village called Kariwa. Through PH Nursery we were able to help 13 children enroll in nursery school, begin the education they deserve and prepare them for future schooling- all in our first year open. To date over 100 children have been educated through our nursery school program.While Project Hope Nursery School experienced great success, we also recognized there was an unaddressed need as students began to age out of our nursery program. Following this realization in 2013, we launched a sponsorship program. This program was designed to help us assist older children in accessing primary and secondary school. With our primary and secondary school programs we have been able to help over 45 children continue their education and pursue their dreams. We currently provide education to 78 students ages 3-18.When we say "we" we mean all of us (you, our team in the states, and our team in Tanzania). Your partnership in this journey has been paramount.To date your generosity has provided… * School uniforms and shoes for over 100 children * School Supplies for over 100 children * Access to entrance exams for close to 100 children * Extra tutoring classes for close to 100 children * Health Insurance (for primary school and high needs children) * Teacher Salaries * One meal per day per child This is all possible because of regular people like you, but according to UNESCO, in 2018 there were still 1,895,125 children not enrolled in school in Tanzania. Let's work together to reduce this number. What can you do to give a community hope?Join "The Village" today to provide ongoing funding for the education, or donate to our general programming.

## Planting Roots Campaign
Planting Roots today for a better future tomorrow.
**Help us plant roots by building our own school in Tanzania!**
| Since our inception, we have rented our nursery school space. While we have been blessed with several different school buildings, we have always desired a place to call home forever. In 2019 we began serious efforts to purchase land and build our own school building.In 2020 we launched our **Planting Roots campaign**, in which we are taking major steps to move forward with our plans to build a permanent home.In September 2023 we learned that the landlord of our current school space wants to repurpose the property so we will no longer be able to rent it after June 2024. In November 2023 we set a goal to purchase land and build phase 1: the nursery school, by June 2024.**Long Term Goals:** Build a nursery and primary school**Why:**This program will assist roughly 300 students and provide employment for at least ten teachers and countless support staff. It increases our reach and enables us to become self-sufficient.**Fundraising:**Our goal is to raise $25,000 for phase 1 of this program | Picture |
## Over the years we have been blessed with spaces that have fit us and then blessed further to find new spaces as we outgrow the old. Here are some of our past school spaces. | 0 | 1 | 0 |

I am developing an online game. The entry would be as little as $10US but the winner's take could be significant depending on the number of people that play.Now I am a very ethical person, and everything will be above board, but I want to host it in a country which has very few regulations on these types of games, which most countries consider as gambling. This will add a nightmare amount of hurdles in order to get the game funded and launched.So are there countries that will host these types of games without the myriad of regulations? Or are online games governed by the regulations of the country each particular player is in? That would be the death-kneel of it.You would think that tiny countries like Vanuatu, or tax-haven territories such as the Isle of Man for example, would have far less regulations and be far more open and therefore much easier to setup operations there. | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Lately, I've started seeing Bitcoin as a fintech startup. It's an open startup. Anyone can invest at any stage. The promise was that it will be the next currency, but since then it's pivoted to (trying to) being a store of value. This leaves room for other fintech coin "startups" to deliver on that promise. In that sense, investing in a coin is like startup investing.Wikipedia used to be shunned as an unreliable source just 10 years ago. Now, everyone relies on it. While we won't cite it in a paper, there's no longer the sense that "anybody can edit it, so it could be fake info". Wikipedia was accessible to everyone from the start.Now, I know that the similarities end there. Encyclopedias are very different from finance.What do you think? | 1 | 0 | 0 |

I’ve never really thought of that to be honest. My friends and I usually get together every Friday and masturbate on a cookie together. The last person to bust usually has to eat the cookie. Next time when I finish eating I’ll sit them all down and have a serious chat with them. | 0 | 0 | 1 |
14 years ago, when I was very young (I mean reeeaaaalllll young), my mother died of cancer. I was super religious for a good while but it wavered intensely after a couple of years when I had a breakdown in the middle of my [confirmation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_in_the_Catholic_Church). My father had to pull me off this kind old priest who, as far as I remember, mentioned my mother on the off hand. He may have said something like, "It's a shame she wasn't here for you today". My family had taken solace in the thought of her watching down on us always and this priest had said what I misinterpreted as "You mum isn't looking after you". So after my outburst, I was brought home and locked in my room while my family and relatives went to a dinner reservation they had got at a real fancy restaurant.
So I was left in the house alone, still having a freaker, emotions about the place, screaming into the dark. I didn't turn on the lights because I was at the point everything was pissing me off. After about 20 minutes of screaming into the dark, I sat by the radiator in my room. I started talking to my mother, or at least hoping I was. I kept saying things along the lines of......"You're not watching, you're not watching. Stop fucking lying. Granny lied. You don't care. Ffffuuuuccccckkkk. Fffffuuuuccckkk." Essentially desecrating her name with words. It was mid spring at this point in the year, so we didn't put the heating on. After about 30 seconds of this, the radiator became very hot, very quick. So hot, it scalded by back and I pushed forward and kicked the book case opposite the radiator. Some books fell out of the shelves but only one opened in front of me. It was an old tattered book my mother had from back in her days as a medical student. It was old. Real old. Like so old it still used brown paper as a book cover. She used it like her own personal medical guide for minor/common injuries and conditions. She wrote in it, Half Blood Prince style. Each page writing on it, some useful tips, others purely personal notes. The page it landed open on was in the heart chapter, specifically a page on heart attacks and how to deal with them. In the top corner, she had written "Not to be confused with BHS (Broken Heart Syndrome).
I know it sounds corny but it's 100% genuine. As sad as it sounds, it was quite scary. I didn't even hit me what had just happened until like a minute later after I had almost completely up ended the entire shelf. | 0 | 0 | 1 |
When we think about learning, we often picture students in a classroom or lecture hall, books open on their desks, listening intently to a teacher or professor in the front of the room. But in psychology, learning means something else. To psychologists, learning is a long-term change in behavior that's based on experience. Two of the main types of learning are called classical conditioning and operant, or instrumental, conditioning. Let's talk about classical conditioning first. In the 1890's, a Russian physiologist named Ivan Pavlov did some really famous experiments on dogs. He showed dogs some food and rang a bell at the same time. After a while, the dogs would associate the bell with the food. They would learn that when they heard the bell, they would get fed. Eventually, just ringing the bell made the dogs salivate. They learned to expect food at the sound of a bell. You see, under normal conditions, the sight and smell of food causes a dog to salivate. We call the food an unconditioned stimulus, and we call salivation the unconditioned response. Nobody trains a dog to salivate over some steak. However, when we pair an unconditioned stimulus like food with something that was previously neutral, like the sound of a bell, that neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus. And so classical conditioning was discovered. We see how this works with animals, but how does it work with humans? In exactly the same way. Let's say that one day you go to the doctor to get a shot. She says, "Don't worry, this won't hurt a bit," and then gives you the most painful shot you've ever had. A few weeks later you go to the dentist for a check-up. He starts to put a mirror in your mouth to examine your teeth, and he says, "Don't worry, this won't hurt a bit." Even though you know the mirror won't hurt, you jump out of the chair and run, screaming from the room. When you went to get a shot, the words, "This won't hurt a bit," became a conditioned stimulus when they were paired with pain of the shot, the unconditioned stimulus, which was followed by your conditioned response of getting the heck out of there. Classical conditioning in action. Operant conditioning explains how consequences lead to changes in voluntary behavior. So how does operant conditioning work? There are two main components in operant conditioning: reinforcement and punishment. Reinforcers make it more likely that you'll do something again, while punishers make it less likely. Reinforcement and punishment can be positive or negative, but this doesn't mean good and bad. Positive means the addition of a stimulus, like getting dessert after you finish your veggies, and negative means the removal of a stimulus, like getting a night of no homework because you did well on an exam. Let's look at an example of operant conditioning. After eating dinner with your family, you clear the table and wash the dishes. When you're done, your mom gives you a big hug and says, "Thank you for helping me." In this situation, your mom's response is positive reinforcement if it makes you more likely to repeat the operant response, which is to clear the table and wash the dishes. Operant conditioning is everywhere in our daily lives. There aren't many things we do that haven't been influenced at some point by operant conditioning. We even see operant conditioning in some extraordinary situations. One group of scientists showed the power of operant conditioning by teaching pigeons to be art connoisseurs. Using food as a positive reinforcer, scientists have taught pigeons to select paintings by Monet over those by Picasso. When showed works of other artists, scientists observed stimulus generalization as the pigeons chose the Impressionists over the Cubists. Maybe next they'll condition the pigeons to paint their own masterpieces. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

Product Hunt can be a crap shoot, and having it be worthwhile is tough. You can drive your own audience there but if your product isn't applicable to the individual consumer and is more of a business use case, getting noticed is tough.I wrote this in hopes to help inspire new founders that posting on Product Hunt is just like any other marketing campaign. Targeting, messaging, channel, and timing should all be taken into consideration, and you can't play scorched earth for upvotes.To avoid ruining our email list with email after email and likely unsubscribes, we focused on our social media, chat apps like Slack and Discord, and mainly LinkedIn 1st degree connections by inviting them to an event on their platform. This is the least intrusive way to see if someone is interested in what you are doing, and their notification architecture is fabulous for keeping the attendees informed.We went about this as respectfully and delightfully as possible. We try to practice conscious notifications at Courier.Let me know what you think,

i dont know why i didn't fall in love with pita jungle sooner.
i work right next to the mall so the food court is super convenient for us. let me tell you a story of how i ate here everyday for lunch for a week.
i ordered a standard gyro with no pickles (they put pickles on their gyros and i find that disgusting)
my coworker, jen, ordered the pasta salad with chicken on top.
mine was delicious and i tasted hers. hers was so good! i was like, that's what i'm ordering tomorrow.
the next day we went again and i ordered the chicken pasta. while waiting for the food to come out someone in front of me picked up their order of a hummus trio with chicken on top and a side of pita.
the next day jen asked where i wanted to go to lunch. i said pita jungle and i got my hummus trio.
and the trend continued. their food is so good!!!! and its like $8!! and since i work nearby i get a discount!
today i had a side of chicken breast with super fresh mushrooms. i watched them steam them, then put them in a pan with w tons of garlic, red wine, and seasoning. some of the best mushrooms i've ever had and it was a HUGE order of mushrooms.
i love this place! | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Turkey-Greece Standoff in the Mediterranean Explained
the video is biased. 1. The two international agreements discussed are not equal. Turkey strong armed the Libyan government to sign an internationally preposterous agreement in the midst of civil war by sending mercenaries and meddling in the civil war politics of a failed state. Also, according to the law of the sea, this agreement is void since it takes away from Crete (not a small island) any EEZ right. On the other hand, Greece and Egypt signed their agreement after negotiations and according to the Law of the Sea.
2. The Greek islands have military presence based on the nation's right of self defense. Turkey has made clear that it has plans against Greece and a casus Beli in effect. Interestingly, this is not mentioned in your video.
3. Greece has legal right to expand it's territorial waters to 12 miles like EVERY other nation has done including Turkey.
It is becoming clear that this is not a greek/turkish problem as it is a Erdogan vs the World and the EU problem. Videos like this that muddy the waters are not helpful for everyone to understand... Just look at the map! Yes, the islands have people on them and have been there for thousands of years. Clearly they need to have EEZ. I hope Turkey has the maturity of a civilized state and can take this to court and resolve it... Otherwise, we know what happens to bullies in this part of the world. History is a common property.

# What Happens When a Domestic Violence Victim Doesn’t Want To Press Charges?
/ What Happens When a Domestic Violence Victim Doesn’t Want To Press Charges?
By: Frances Prizzia php// the\_date(); ? | Share
In many domestic violence cases, a situation arises where the alleged victim doesn't want to press charges. It's a common scenario that can complicate the legal process. At , we frequently encounter clients facing this dilemma. Understanding what this means for both the accused and the accuser is crucial in navigating these complex cases.
When an alleged victim chooses not to press charges in a domestic violence case, it doesn't automatically mean the case gets dropped. The decision to pursue charges often lies with the prosecutor, not the accuser. This is because domestic violence is regarded as a crime against the state as well as the individual. Defendants need to understand their rights and legal options in these situations. Our domestic violence law firm is here to provide a strong defense for those accused. We can be your advocate in the criminal justice system.

## **Understanding the Role of the Alleged Victim in Domestic Violence Cases**
The role of the alleged victim in cases is often misunderstood. When they report domestic violence, their testimony can be a crucial part of the case. At the same time, their decision not to press charges doesn't necessarily stop the prosecution. In California, prosecutors can and often do proceed with cases even without the accuser's cooperation.
It's crucial to understand that domestic violence cases are treated seriously due to their potential to escalate and the risk they pose to the accuser and the community. The state can press charges against the defendant anyway, even if the accuser doesn't want to proceed. On the other hand, this can have a dramatic impact on the strength of the case. Reach out to us for help with this situation.
## **The Legal Process in Domestic Violence Charges Without Accuser Cooperation**
When the accuser in a domestic violence case decides not to cooperate, the legal process can become more challenging for the prosecution. However, this doesn't mean the criminal case of alleged abuse will be outright. It still means that we need to protect you with the entire breadth and depth of the resources at our disposal.
### **The State's Decision to Proceed with Charges**
The state may decide to proceed with domestic violence charges even if the accuser is unwilling to testify. Prosecutors will review other available evidence to determine if there is enough to pursue the case. They take into account the severity of the alleged incident.
In cases where the state decides to proceed, the prosecution may use other forms of evidence, such as police reports, testimony from police officers, photographs of injuries, or witness statements. These pieces of evidence can be sufficient to move forward with the case without the accuser's testimony.
### **Impact on Evidence Gathering and Prosecution**
The absence of accuser cooperation can impact evidence gathering and the overall prosecution strategy. The prosecution may rely more heavily on physical evidence or testimony from law enforcement officers who responded to the incident. They may also seek evidence that can corroborate the story without the accuser's direct testimony.
This shift in focus can make it more challenging for the prosecution to build a strong case. However, it doesn't necessarily mean the case is weaker. Prosecutors are experienced in handling cases with uncooperative accusers and may use different tactics to present their case.
### **Legal Options for the Defendant**
For defendants in domestic violence cases, the accuser's reluctance to press charges can affect their legal strategy. It's important to consult with a knowledgeable defense attorney who can advise on the best course of action. Defendants should not assume the case will be dropped and should prepare for all possibilities.
Defendants can work with their attorney to challenge the evidence presented by the prosecution. This may include questioning the reliability or relevance of the evidence and presenting their own evidence to counter the prosecution's claims.
## **Misconceptions About Dropping Domestic Violence Charges**
One widespread misconception is that domestic violence charges can be easily dropped if the accuser decides not to press charges. In reality, the decision to drop charges lies with the prosecutor, not the accuser. This means that even if the accuser does not want to proceed, the case can still go to trial.
Another misconception is that without the accuser's testimony, the case has no merit. While the accuser's testimony is important, prosecutors can use other forms of evidence to make their case. It's essential for defendants to understand this and prepare accordingly. We can highlight the weaknesses in the case without the original testimony and push for a dismissal or reduction in charges.
## **How the Defendant Can Protect Their Rights**
Defendants in domestic violence cases must take proactive steps to protect their rights. This includes hiring an experienced defense attorney who understands the nuances of domestic violence cases. A defense lawyer can help navigate the legal process, advise on defense strategies, and represent the defendant's interests in court.
Staying updated and participating in your case is crucial. Understand the charges against you, the potential repercussions, and the legal options available. Always communicate openly with your attorney and follow their guidance throughout the process.
## **The Importance of Legal Representation in Domestic Violence Cases**
Having legal representation in a case is vital. These cases can be complex and carry serious consequences.
### **Role of a Criminal Defense Attorney**
The role of a criminal defense lawyer is crucial in domestic violence cases. They provide legal advice, represent the defendant's interests, and challenge the prosecution's evidence. An experienced defense lawyer knows how to parse the legal system and can use their knowledge to benefit the defendant.
Defense attorneys also help communicate with the prosecutor and negotiate plea deals if appropriate. They ensure that the defendant's rights are protected throughout the legal process.
### **Navigating the Legal System as a Defendant**
Navigating the legal system in a case can be daunting for defendants. An experienced attorney can guide you through each step, explaining the process and what to expect. They can handle legal procedures, file necessary motions, and represent you in court.
Understanding the legal system and knowing your rights is crucial. A defense attorney can provide the necessary information and support to help you make informed decisions about your case.
### **Developing a Defense Strategy in the Absence of a Complainant**
Developing a defense strategy in cases without a cooperating accuser requires a different approach. Your attorney will assess the available evidence and look for weaknesses in the prosecution's case. They may focus on challenging the credibility of the evidence or presenting an alternative narrative.
Defense strategies might include demonstrating a lack of intent, questioning the validity of the evidence, or establishing that the defendant was acting in self-defense. Each case is unique, and your attorney will tailor your defense to match your case.
## **Potential Outcomes in Domestic Violence Cases Without Accuser Testimony**
The potential outcomes in domestic violence cases without accuser testimony can vary. In some cases, the lack of accuser cooperation can force a reduction in charges or a plea deal. In other cases, the prosecution may proceed to trial using other evidence.
If the case heads to trial, the result will hinge on the strength of the prosecution's case and the defense strategy. A skilled defense lawyer can impact the trial's outcome, potentially leading to an acquittal or reduced charges.
Even without the accuser's testimony, defendants should prepare for all possible outcomes. Having a solid defense strategy and being ready to respond to the prosecution's case is important.
## **Preparing for Court Proceedings as a Defendant**
Preparing for court proceedings in a domestic violence case is essential. Partner with your lawyer to understand the charges, the legal process, and the best defense strategy. Gather evidence supporting your case, including witness statements or documentation that can counter the prosecution's claims.
Practice your testimony if you plan to take the stand. Being clear, consistent, and truthful in your testimony is crucial. Your lawyer can help you prepare and practice your testimony to ensure you effectively present your side of the story.

Title:
Automated setup of functional electrical stimulation for drop foot using a novel 64 channel prototype stimulator and electrode array: results from a gait-lab based study.
Abstract:
Functional electrical stimulation is commonly used to correct drop foot following stroke or multiple sclerosis. This technique is successful for many patients, but previous studies have shown that a significant minority have difficulty identifying correct sites to place the electrodes in order to produce acceptable foot movement. Recently there has been some interest in the use of 'virtual electrodes', the process of stimulating a subset of electrodes chosen from an array, thus allowing the site of stimulation to be moved electronically rather than physically. We have developed an algorithm for automatically determining the best site of stimulation and tested it on a computer linked to a small, battery-powered prototype stimulator with 64 individual output channels. Stimulation was delivered via an 8×8 array adhered to the leg by high-resistivity self-adhesive hydrogel. Ten participants with stroke (ages 53-71 years) and 11 with MS (ages 40-80 years) were recruited onto the study and performed two walks of 10 m for each of the following conditions: own setup (PS), clinician setup (CS), automated setup (AS) and no stimulation (NS). The PS and CS conditions used the participant's own stimulator with two conventional electrodes; the AS condition used the new stimulator and algorithm. Outcome measures were walking speed, foot angle at initial contact and the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion. Mean walking speed with no stimulation was 0.61 m/s; all FES setups significantly increased speed relative to this (AS p<0.05, PS p<0.01, CS p<0.01). Speed for PS (0.72 m/s) was faster than both AS (0.65 m/s, p<0.01) and CS (0.68 m/s, p<0.05). Frontal plane foot orientation at heel-strike was more neutral for AS (0.3° everted) than in the NS (11.2° inverted, p<0.01), PS (4.5° inverted, p<0.05) and CS (3.1° inverted, p<0.05) conditions. Dorsiflexion angles for AS (4.2°) were larger than NS (-3.0°, p<0.01), not different to PS (4.3°, p>0.05) and less dorsiflexed than CS (6.0°, p<0.05). This proof of principle study has demonstrated that automated setup of an array stimulator produces results broadly comparable to clinician setup. Slower walking speed for automated and clinician setups compared to the participants' own setup may be due to the participants' lack of familiarity with responses different to their usual setups. Automated setup using the method described here seems sufficiently reliable for future longer-term investigation outside the laboratory and may lead to FES becoming more viable for patients who, at present, have difficulty setting up conventional stimulators. | 1 | 0 | 0 |
It has been identified by research as early as 1986 (AAA's Bedford Report) that the business community requires accountants to display a wide range of vocational skills beyond the traditional requirement of just being good at the numbers. Denna et al. in 1993 identified that due to the increasing influence of Information Technology, accountants needed to possess a strong understanding of business, have significant interpersonal skills and leadership skills. The key vocational skill needed for this new philosophy that enables businesses to continually respond to a constantly changing world is communication (Stout and DaCrema 2004), but it has been noted that this skill is particularly lacking amongst accountants in either a written or verbal manner (Dagget and Liu 1997, Hirsch and Collins 1988, Borzi and Mills 2001, O'Connell 2015, Ireland 2016).\ud
The testing and results for one-hundred and thirty-one first year undergraduate accounting students indicate that many students possess high levels of communication apprehension (as first defined by McCroskey 1970). McCroskey's intervention to help reduce communication apprehension is too expensive both in terms of time and resources required. Therefore this thesis investigates the use of self-efficacy techniques (as advocated by Bandura 1977, 1986, 2006) in the first year accounting pedagogy at Sheffield Hallam University.\ud
The investigation into communication self-efficacy techniques may be limited to Sheffield Hallam University's first year undergraduate accounting and business studies students but it does indicate that different pedagogical interventions must be created to help male and female accounting students. \ud
Both and male and female accounting students indicated that the technique which had the strongest influence on their communication self-efficacy was that of personal mastery (practice). Male accounting students went on to suggest that support by their class colleagues and their tutor acting as a mentor had a significant influence. \ud
For female accounting students what has come through strongly is the need for more female accounting role models. There is a call for female professional accountants to get involved with universities. This involvement needs to be in the form of influencing the curriculum and giving guest lectures. This involvement will hopefully allow the female students to vicariously experience (observe) and gain inspiration to be the next future generation of female professional accountants | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Usually pretty damn quick. Hell, I know lots of people that fucked before they were officially dating.
Do it when you're comfortable. As an adult, it's on much less of a schedule. And adults vary wildly. Some people still take a long time to go "all the way" when they're dating. Others do it before they date. There's no hard and fast rule. You just do what you're comfortable with. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

I went here last night with my wife to celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary. We purposely arrived early to have a drink at their bar. There wasn't much of a selection on their happy hour drink menu so we just ordered our go-to drinks. Champagne for her and a martini for me. The hostess/waiter/waitress were very friendly and prompt. When we were ready for dinner we were brought to the main dining area and our bar tab was transferred without trouble.
I made a reservation a few weeks prior and made a notation that it was our anniversary. Upon arrival at our table there was a card saying happy anniversary which was a nice touch. The table was smack in the middle of the dining room so my wife asked if we could move to another table. The host was very accommodating and gave us a better table.
The place is pretty sheik to the eye but uncomfortable. The 2-top tables are small, too close to other people, and I don't want to sound like a 90 year old, but the chairs are ridiculously uncomfortable. I don't know about you but I like to eat my too expensive meal in utter comfort. The noise level is also above where it should be but they were playing some pretty solid tunes throughout the night.
Our waitress was excellent and knowledgeable but was taking care of way too many tables which made her unable to come around as often as I would have liked. I especially liked our sommelier who gave us an awesome wine recommendation. Also, I'm not sure if this is all the time or not, but all bottles under $300 were 1/2 price so we splurged on a more expensive bottle than we would have normally purchased.
The Food:
* Fries - they give these to you instead of bread. They are excellent especially the truffle ones. My only issue is that you could tell they were sitting out for a half hour before being served to us. I would have liked them fresh but whatever.
* Wedge Salad - just ok. The blue cheese and bacon were great though. It just wasn't the typical steak joint wedge I am used to and was looking forward to.
* Burrata Cheese - this was very unique to me and pretty good
* Truffled Mac n' Cheese - not the best I've ever had but still pretty good. Not as thick and cheesy as I would have liked and they use weird noodles.
* Wagyu Beef Trio - My wife and I shared this. Perfect amount for the both of us to share. Each 4oz piece of steak was perfectly cooked, juicy and delicious. I still can't tell the difference between regular beef and wagyu though. The sides were also very good. We especially liked the mushrooms. The mashed potatoes were too creamy and just eh.
* Beignets - we shared these for desert and they are fluffy, sugary awesomeness. The sauces are equally awesome.
All-in-all it was a fantastic meal and great experience. Good food, good wine, good company. I would come back any time to enjoy a steak or one of their burgers. | 0 | 0 | 1 |
