Easter in the Algarve
15 December 2016
Admire Natural Beauty, Play Outstanding Golf & Sample Local Dishes During a Four-Star Stay at Formosa Park Apartment Hotel this April
With Christmas wrapped up and wintery showers ahead, now is the perfect time to be planning a much needed sun-soaked Easter break. With highs of 20˚C and nine hours of glorious sunshine per day, the Algarve will be the perfect destination to relax, recharge and enjoy quality time together as a family this April. Alongside spacious four-star suite apartments and family-friendly facilities such as an outdoor children’s pool and babysitting service, Formosa can offer easy access to a whole host of local attractions and activities that will keep all ages entertained this Easter. Read on to find out more and start planning your dream spring getaway today.
Explore Ria Formosa Nature Park
Whether you’re searching for a peaceful stroll, fancy an energetic bike ride or simply wish to discover more about local flora and fauna, the Ria Formosa Nature Park will offer an ideal day out this spring. Described as one of the ‘Seven Natural Wonders of Portugal’ and protected by the RAMSAR Convention, it offers over 45,000 acres of unspoilt natural beauty to explore… just 750 metres from our hotel.
The Blue Flag Ancão Beach marks the start of the park, however there’s much more to explore than this stunning stretch of sand dunes and crystal clear Atlantic water. The park’s islands, marshlands, coastal lagoons and peninsulas are home to many fascinating species of wildlife, from Chameleons and European Pond Terrapins, to one of the world’s largest populations of Seahorses! Another popular inhabitant is the Portuguese Water Dog, which boast webbed feet and were originally bred to assist local fishermen.
However, it’s the thousands of birds that migrate here and call it home that make it such an unmissable attraction. Over 20,000 birds are expected during the winter months… and in springtime some of these will remain to nest. Take the opportunity to spot a Greater Flamingo, a soaring Osprey or even the rare Purple Swamphen; which has been adopted as the park’s symbol. Keen bird lovers can also find out more about local species and pedestrian trails at the Marim Environmental Education Centre.
History fans can look forward to exploring the Roman ruins of Milreu, while adventurers may prefer to opt for boating or kayaking. Stretching 60km along the Algarvian coastline, this stunning park offers a wide variety of attractions suited to all ages and interests. However, nothing will quite beat breathing in the scent of blossoming flowers, including the beautiful Bee Orchids, while wandering between olive, cork oak and carob trees this spring.
An Exceptional Start to the Golfing Season
Though a hotly debated subject, many clubs and players claim April the 1st or the beginning of The Masters as the start of the golfing season… and with warm temperatures and lush greens, the Algarve is the ideal destination for any golfer wishing to tee off their season in style this Easter. The region boasts many beautiful and challenging courses, however our guests can benefit from exclusive access to two of its most celebrated – Pinheiros Altos and San Lorenzo.
Located less than a 15 minute courtesy shuttle bus ride from our hotel, San Lorenzo is ranked within the world’s top courses and is regularly listed within the best courses in Europe by leading publications and industry leaders. As part of the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve, its 18 holes offer players views over the Atlantic, lagoons and lakes, while fairways are lined with towering pine trees. Laid out in a figure of eight, its design by Joseph Lee and Rocky Roquemore is perfect for those seeking to push their golfing goals to the limit; especially on the breath-taking 18th that’s been described as ‘…one of the finest finishes in golf that you will ever experience…’.
Meanwhile, just 10 minutes away, Pinheiros Altos Golf Resort boasts a 27-hole championship course and one of the most respected golf academies in southern Europe. With state-of-the-art equipment, including Flightscope technology, a new Titleist fitting centre and two AA British PGA Professionals, this is a key destination for those seeking to get that extra edge on the course. While its three sets of nine holes each boast a unique character… from the longest and possibly more difficult Corks Course, to the Olives that’s home to the signature hole, situated on a palm-tree covered island.
If you’re a golf fan, there is no finer way to start the season than teeing off in the sun-soaked Algarve this Easter. If you’re planning a golfing getaway, we have two exclusive packages that include four-star accommodation, daily buffet breakfast, fine-dining… and rounds on our courses. Our seven night ‘Eagle’ package includes four rounds on the stunning Pinheiros Altos and one on the award-winning San Lorenzo from 101€ per night, while our three night ‘Birdie’ offer includes two rounds per person at Pinheiros Altos from just 97€ per night.
Portuguese Easter Traditions
After long days spent exploring the local landscape and enjoying some of the world’s most challenging golf, you may be in need of some sustenance. While our onsite restaurant will offer a variety of delicious local and international dishes, those seeking more traditional Easter fare may wish to head into the local town of Loulé. Alongside the obligatory chocolate eggs, other popular dishes will include codfish on Good Friday and Holy Saturday, alongside mouth-watering roast lamb on Easter Sunday.
Another Easter offering will be Folar, a bread that features a boiled egg in the centre. Though it’s served savoury with meats in some areas of the country, the Algarvians enjoy it sweet and flavoured with the likes of melted sugar, cinnamon, caramel and aniseed. While those in search of more traditional celebrations can join the thousands who gather for the Festa da Mãe Soberana (Feast of the Sovereign Mother). In honour of the patron saint of Loulé, a Festa Pequena (small feast) will be held on Easter Sunday, while those in town a fortnight later can look forward to the Festa Grande, processions and fireworks.
Whether you’re hoping for a relaxing Easter break spent soaking up the sun, the chance to learn more about local culture and natural beauty, or the opportunity to enjoy a sensational start to the golfing season… the Algarve will be the ideal destination for the whole family next April. Check out our latest offers here and start planning your perfect Easter escape today.

Osteopathy and osteoporosis
Type of Spiritual Experience
A description of the experience
Clin Cases Miner Bone Metab. 2012 Sep;9(3):179-83. Epub 2012 Dec 20. A randomized control trial on the effectiveness of osteopathic manipulative treatment in reducing pain and improving the quality of life in elderly patients affected by osteoporosis. Papa L, Mandara A, Bottali M, Gulisano V, Orfei S. International College of Osteopathic Medicine, Cinisello Balsamo, Milan, Italy.
INTRODUCTION: In the elderly population, a decrease in bone mineral density (osteoporosis) is often associated with a decrease in quality of life and an increase in self reported body pain. This pain originates from the musculoskeletal system and can potentially affect different areas of the body.
AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) on self reported pain and quality of life in an elderly population.
DESIGN: Randomized placebo controlled trial.
METHODS: Patients were recruited from the Geriatric Department, Bassini Hospital (Milan, Italy). Patients were randomly assigned to either 6 sessions of OMT (n = 37 patients) or an equivalent number of sham manipulative treatment (SMT) (n = 35 patients). The main outcome variables were QOL measured by QUALEFFO -41 and overall bodily pain measured using a visual analog scale (VAS). Data were analyzed using a two factor ANOVA (treatment × time) for repeated measurements with an α level set at p ≤ 0.05.
RESULTS: Main result of this study was that OMT compared to SMT showed a significant decreased of disability. This effect was demonstrated by a significant interaction in the overall disability score (p =0.001) and the Mental wellbeing (p =0.058), Health perception (p =0.005) and Pain (p =0.003) QUALEFFO -41 subscales, while no significant difference (no interaction) for pain as measured by VAS and for the Daily activities, Walking, Household cleaning and Leisure time activities QUALEFFO -41 subscales (p > 0.05) was found. No adverse effects were recorded during the study.
DISCUSSION: This study demonstrated that, in a group of elderly subjects affected by osteoporosis OMT was able to increase self reported QOL while the effect on body pain perception is unclear. This overall improvement in QOL appears to be caused by an improvement in psychological factors (i.e Mental wellbeing and Health perception) rather than physical factors. In fact, all QUALEFFO -41 subscales related to physical function demonstrated no significant interaction. The effect of OMT on Pain perception is less clear. In fact, there was no effect on pain as assessed by VAS while a significant improvement was observed when the QUALEFFO -41 subscale was used. This could be due to the metric properties of the two pain measurement methods; an alternative explanation could be that VAS measures mainly pain quantity while QUA-LEFFO -41 subscales measures mainly pain quality. The lack of effect of OMT on physical function needs to be confirmed by more direct measurements of this variable.

KNLTB has appointed Peter Lucasin as a high-performance director. Starting in August, the Vught tennis coach will be responsible, along with Topsport Manager Dennis Sporrel, for the best sports program and best sports culture for the Dutch tennis professionals.
This means that Lucasin will exchange the United States, as he owns his own tennis school in Los Angeles, the Netherlands. “I would like to use my experience in the international circuit and direct the young players towards the top 100 Dutch tennis players,” says Lucasin of his appointment. “I believe in the current group of players knocking on the door and with this group of players and coaches I want to get everything out of it and take a step towards the top 100.”
Lucasin himself was also active as a professional tennis player in the past, until he reached 541 in the world rankings, but he ended his career at a relatively young age to obtain his college degree in the United States and start training young talent. Not only did Vaughnar do this at his tennis school, but also in the USTA, the American Tennis Association.
Peter breathes tennis.
“Peter is wonderfully fit for the team,” says KNLTB’s coach Jacco Eltingh. “He breathes tennis and never lets go.” “Plus, he can still play tennis well. That’s what we need right now at the best tennis. Denise and Peter complement each other and together will be the driving force in the coming years to build an ideal sports culture.”

The term “Metaverse” has quickly become part of the lexicon for internet users, even though many disagree on what it is ultimately going to become.
Nonetheless, various businesses are beginning to spring up in virtual spaces because of the untapped opportunities that exist. What makes the Metaverse an attractive space to open up a new service or company comes down to the Web3 technology it is built on, namely blockchain, smart contracts, and Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs).
A blockchain is an immutable ledger of digital assets, while smart contracts interact with this ledger to transfer assets between different parties. Together, this means that developers can create not only new currencies but a myriad of more complex assets as well. NFTs are one such example, which go beyond money and act more like individual items with a discernible history. This verifiable data is the basis on which these assets can be monetized and used.
This is what’s going on at a technical level but there are some practical steps that every metaverse business founder should also know about.
Pick your blockchain network(s)
When looking to create a successful business in the Metaverse, there are several things to consider. As with physical businesses, location is very important. In Web3, this means deciding which blockchain networks your business will support, choosing which virtual world it will use, and picking a place within that world where your business can be found.
When choosing which network to launch on, things like speed, cost of transactions, and interoperability with other networks are all important considerations. Ethereum, for example, has the largest user base out of all its competitors, meaning that it offers the potential for a business to be accessible to the most people. However, Ethereum currently only offers around 15 transactions per second and users can experience prohibitively high fees.
There are many smart contract blockchain platforms available beyond Ethereum, such as Solana and the Binance Smart Chain, if you’re looking for faster transactions and are happy to engage with fewer users. There are also Layer 2 solutions, like Polygon, that can both significantly improve speed and fees, as well as serve as a link between multiple chains. Each of these options comes with their own pros and cons, so ultimately businesses need to do a bit of homework to decide which one aligns with their company, products and long-term goals.
Choose your preferred “location”
Once a network has been established, the next step is to choose a Metaverse platform to set up shop in. There’s no shortage of available options, such as Decentraland, The Sandbox and Somnium Space. Most Metaverse worlds allow for the purchase of land and the ability to build within the space, but every business should understand the specifics of what’s on offer in each one before committing to any of them.
Of our examples, Decentraland has the feel of a world that is still in development but is also host to some of the most premier events. The Sandbox has a more curated set of experiences, with an emphasis towards gaming. Somnium Space is focused on VR and acts somewhat like a 3D social media service. Of course, there’s overlap in what the platforms can offer and many others out there, with more being launched all the time.
Just like with the blockchains themselves, there’s also nothing stopping a company from having a presence across multiple Metaverses. The takeaway here is to align your new business with a community that makes sense and who will be receptive to what you are selling.
Define your ‘value’ proposition
Once a virtual location is secured, the next question is: “what is actually being offered?”.
One possibility could involve providing an existing business’s services via a Web3 interface. This might mean building a fully 3D shop that lets users browse and purchase digital recreations of real-world products. Upon checkout, the product would then be shipped to the customer, just like how online ordering works today.
However, a more interesting approach might be to build your business around the native ways of offering value and earning income that the Metaverse makes possible. This is likely to be based around the utilization of NFTs. In adopting this metaverse business model, you need to be aware that the digital market is already flooded with assets and therefore put some work into making sure the assets you sell are desirable.
Digital businesses need to focus on the same things that bring value to any asset. Namely the balance of scarcity, utility, liquidity and reputation. Scarcity means there needs to be some kind of limit on supply. Utility implies there must be some practical use or need for the good. Liquidity means it must be able to be bought and sold easily, and reputation speaks to how customers rate the product or service, especially in relation to its competitors.
Investigate your digital land options
To understand how these principles work in practice, it's worth looking at how valuable assets are perceived in the Metaverse already and digital land is a good example. In a world with limited space, where adoption is already occurring, real estate has real value. For example, in
The Sandbox, three plots of land adjacent to Snoop Dogg’s virtual mansion sold for over $1.2 million.
Owning such a high profile plot isn’t just about the status of being a virtual neighbor to a famous celebrity. That land can be fairly easily monetized, most obviously through renting. The owner can lease out the property to generate an ongoing income stream, exactly as many do with real land. The owner could also build. Whether the land is developed to offer services based around entertainment, shopping, or other attractions, the location will help to bring in higher rates than the same offerings in a less prestigious place.
Renting isn’t limited to land, either. Any sufficiently valuable NFT asset can be rented out and smart contracts can help to make this process easy, safe and efficient. With smart contracts, explicit terms for rates and timeframes can be established that cannot be broken by either party. Payment will be automatically linked to delivery and the item will be effortlessly returned when the rental window expires.
Seize the NFT gaming opportunity
These dynamics are important to understand when it comes to seizing the metaverse-enabled opportunities that exist around NFTs and gaming.
Today, blockchain games often have hefty entry fees, as usually one or more NFTs need to be owned to get involved. For popular titles, like Axie Infinity, these can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. However, existing asset holders have already made a business out of renting them to players with less means. This can earn the owner both a flat rate for the rental and a cut of any earnings that the rentee generates.
These are just some of the most immediate and obvious ways to build a business out of monetized Metaverse assets. In the coming years, many new models will emerge that leverage the possibilities of a blockchain-enabled digital space. However, there may never be a better time to get in on the action than right now because of how new and untapped this field is today.
The businesses built in the next few years may be industry leaders in ten years time, especially if the Metaverse becomes the driving force behind digital commerce that many expect it to.

Home Security in Oroville, CA
Nestled in the northern foothills of California's Sacramento Valley, Oroville is a city whose rich history is rivaled only by its commitment to the future. As the seat of Butte County, Oroville has long been the administrative, cultural, and economic hub of the region. However, as with any urban area, it grapples with the challenges posed by crime and public safety.
This article provides a comprehensive insight into the crime statistics of Oroville, sheds light on its vulnerable neighborhoods, and analyzes the city's home security state.
A Snapshot of Crime in Oroville
Pacifica's proximity to urban centers like San Francisco means that it is not entirely immune to the ebb and flow of criminal activities that often characterize metropolitan areas:
Violent crimes, which encompass offenses such as assault, robbery, and homicide, are understandably alarming for citizens. In comparison to cities of similar demographics and size, Oroville's rate of violent crimes has witnessed fluctuations. While there have been periods of surge, proactive policing has ensured that these numbers are contained and often show a declining trend.
Typically more prevalent than violent crimes, property crimes in Oroville, including burglary, theft, and vandalism, have been a persistent concern. However, community-driven initiatives, coupled with technological advances, have played a role in curbing this menace to a certain extent.
Zoning in on High-Risk Areas
It's essential to approach this topic with sensitivity, as labeling areas as 'dangerous' can perpetuate stereotypes and misconceptions. However, certain regions in Oroville, influenced by socio-economic and geographic factors, might register a marginally elevated crime rate:
Vicinity to Transit Points:
Similar to many urban areas, neighborhoods closer to major transportation arteries or hubs in Oroville can sometimes witness an uptick in transient criminal activity due to their accessibility.
Areas with pronounced economic disparities or those facing economic challenges can occasionally record a higher crime incidence, although this is by no means a general rule.
Safest Neighborhoods in Oroville
In contrast, some Oroville neighborhoods boast lower crime rates than the city average. These neighborhoods include:
• Kelly Ridge
• East Oroville
Let's examine these neighborhoods, exploring their features and factors contributing to their safety.
The Thermalito area in Oroville is often regarded as one of the safer parts of the city. It features a mix of residential neighborhoods, schools, and parks. Residents appreciate the family-friendly atmosphere and the proximity to amenities.
Kelly Ridge is another neighborhood in Oroville known for its safety and appealing environment. This area is characterized by its proximity to Lake Oroville, offering opportunities for outdoor activities such as boating and hiking. Many residents in this area enjoy a peaceful, recreational lifestyle.
The eastern part of Oroville is often seen as a safe and family-oriented area. It includes a variety of housing options, including single-family homes and apartments. This neighborhood is known for its accessibility to schools and parks.
Delving into Home Security in Oroville
Given Oroville's relatively affluent and educated demographic, one might assume a widespread adoption of home security measures. However, the reality presents a mixed picture:
• Secured Domiciles: Awareness about the significance of home security has been growing steadily in Oroville. It's estimated that about 60% of the homes have some form of a security system. These range from rudimentary alarm setups to sophisticated, integrated security networks.
• Homes Sans Modern Security: Approximately 40% of residences in Oroville might not be equipped with the latest digital security apparatuses. It's pivotal to recognize, though, that many of these homes might still have traditional security measures in place, such as watchdogs, fencing, or even community vigilance groups.
Community Initiatives and Public Engagement
The Oroville community, in collaboration with local law enforcement and administrative bodies, has been proactive in fostering a safe environment:
The Oroville Police Department's commitment to community policing deserves special mention. Their strategy isn't just reactionary but emphasizes building genuine relationships with the community, ensuring that law enforcement is approachable and trustworthy.
Neighborhood Watch Programs:
The city frequently sponsors events, seminars, and dialogues centered on safety and crime prevention, ensuring that its residents are informed, vigilant, and empowered.
Oroville, with its captivating landscapes, historical treasures, and spirited community, stands as a symbol of California's enduring spirit. Ensuring the safety and well-being of its denizens is a collective responsibility shared by the administration, law enforcement, and every citizen. Through mutual cooperation, technological innovation, and community-driven endeavors, Oroville is poised to forge a future where every individual feels safe, valued, and an integral part of the city's vibrant tapestry.

Section 8 of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act 2014 requires FOI bodies to prepare and publish a publication scheme in accordance with the Model Publication Scheme. It is aimed at pre-empting the need for FOI requests by requiring public bodies to publish certain information outside of FOI. The Minister is of the view that FOI bodies should publish as much information as possible in an open and accessible manner on a routine basis outside of FOI, having regard to the principles of openness, transparency and accountability in sections 8(5) and 11(3) of the FOI Act.
FOI bodies have six months (from 14 October 2015) to prepare and publish their own publication schemes together with the underlying documentation.
Information contained in the Publication Scheme
The Model Publication Scheme sets out the information to be published by the FOI body, under six headings, including:
Information about the FOI body (including organisational information, pay/grading structures, locations and contact details)
Services provided to the Public (including details of functions and services provided and the decision-making process)
Decision-making process for major policy proposals (including details of any public consultation exercises; reports on operation of services; expenditure reviews, and policy assessments)
Financial information relating to income and expenditure (including financial statements, payments or purchase orders for goods and services etc.)
Procurement information (including procurement policies; a link to all current tender competitions on the eTenders website, and public contracts awarded including contract type, contractor, value, etc.)
FOI Disclosure Log (in relation to non-personal requests) and other information to be published routinely (including information held by the body which is sought regularly, except any information would be exempt under the FOI Act).
Publication Methods and Review
The information published through the scheme should, wherever possible, be available on the FOI body's website or through links to other freely accessible websites.
In addition to publishing the scheme on the FOI body's website, each body must maintain a printed version of the scheme at the body's Head Office, which should be available for a member of the public to view during normal office hours at 24 hours' notice.
Material published under the scheme must be reviewed and, where necessary, revised annually. In the case of procurement, or purchase order spends, the Guidance recommends information to be updated on a quarterly basis.
The Information Commissioner may examine and report in his Annual Report on the extent to which FOI bodies are in compliance with section 8.

Beginning in 2024, school districts must provide information regarding bond projects to the Texas Attorney General's office who will now determine if Section 45.003(g),TEC’s requirements have been satisfied with respect to special facilities. This is a very different standard than has been applied in the past.
Because the Texas Attorney General’s Office (the “Texas AG”) must approve most bond issues, the Texas AG has significant authority over the interpretation and implementation of the many laws that impact bond issues. On December 29,2023, the Texas AG released an All Bond Counsel Letter (the “ABC Letter”) that has important implications for school bond elections. Important takeaways from the ABC Letter include the following:
Since Section 45.003(g), TEC took effect, the Texas AG has generally relied upon school district certifications to ensure compliance with this statute. Essentially, the Texas AG has deferred to school districts on their interpretation of this statute. The ABC Letter marks a sea change in this regard. School districts must now provide information regarding bond projects to the Texas AG so that the Texas AG can make its own assessment as to whether Section 45.003(g),TEC’s requirements have been satisfied.
In view of this new landscape, school districts should proceed cautiously on projects that may be difficult to categorize pursuant to Section 45.003(g), TEC. School districts should also consider having bond counsel review and comment on all online bond project information, as it appears that this information will now be heavily scrutinized by the Texas AG.
Leon | Alcala is one of the most active law firms serving as bond counsel to school districts on bond elections and resulting bond issues. In 2023, Leon| Alcala participated in over thirty (30) bond transactions involving nearly$1.3 billion in bonds and served as counsel on twenty (20) separate bond elections involving over $3.3 billion in bonds.

From the inception of the Daguerreotype in 1839, photography has been widely deployed to document sports as an important social activity. In the earliest days, these photos took the form of staged genre scenes and portraiture, but as technical capabilities developed, new vistas of visual possibilities opened up, and photography was increasingly used to explore the high-speed movement of bodies in action. The sporting photograph has emerged as a significant genre within image-making, establishing new forms in the development of its own aesthetic.
Running the gamut of this action-infused genre, Photography and Sport incorporates the work of a wide range of photographers, from the canonical to the anonymous. Whether preserved in faded sepia, rich black and white, or glorious Kodachrome, photography’s encounters with sports—the stylistic choices made, the acceptance or rejection of visual conventions, and how these photographs encapsulate the various ways we have regarded and watched sports throughout history—have significant stories to tell. In exploring these images, we come to understand the crucial role photography has played not only in preserving sports history, but in shaping the very ways we see today.

Editor’s Note: This story has been updated to reflect the comments of USDS Administrator Mikey Dickerson and OMB Deputy Director of Management Beth Cobert.
Riding the early buzz around the U.S. Digital Service, President Barack Obama’s new budget proposal would allocate more than $100 million to give 25 agencies their own digital shops.
The president’s budget request, released Monday morning, says Obama wants to designate $105 million to governmentwide digital services and the USDS.
“These small, high-impact teams will drive the quality and effectiveness of the agencies’ most important digital services,” Obama’s budget proposal reads.
The budget also calls for increased funding to the central USDS team “to aid in building the agency teams, increase oversight and accountability for IT spending, improve IT procurement, and improve agency cybersecurity and cyber readiness,” a White House fact sheet says. A different budget fact sheet says the central USDS team would receive $35.2 million in funding for IT oversight an reform.
The proposal further clarifies the U.S. Digital Service’s central role in the development of such teams around government. U.S. Chief Technology Officer Megan Smith said recently the Office of Management and Budget’s team was the center of many networks, like the hub of spokes in a bike wheel.
Mikey Dickerson, the administrator of USDS and ex-Google engineer, shed more light on the new digital service teams during a conference call with media Monday afternoon. Under this proposal, USDS will pivot somewhat to focus on “removing barriers that effect, across government, things like hiring authority, stuff like that,” Dickerson said. “We’ll also act as an umbrella organization that brings the whole movement together.”
The funding would be enough to hire about 500 new digital service employees total, he said, which would give each of the teams an average size of 20. The 25 teams USDS will stand up are all CFO Act agencies except the Defense Department, Dickerson told reporters, and already they are working with agencies like the Education Department and its student loans, and the State Department’s efforts to modernize the Visa application process.
Dickerson said he never expected the demand within in government for digital services shops or that so many talented IT professionals would want to leave the private world for the federal government.
“Virtually every agency we’ve talked to is very interested in the kinds of people we are able to bring to help them out,” he said. “Everybody wants this kind of assistance much more than we ever imagined delivering it with the small amount of people we have today.”
And recruiting talent away from Silicon Valley, he said, “was more successful than I expected it to be, to be perfectly honest.” This budget proposal is “the most lazer-focused way we could come up with” to connect that overwhelming demand with the talent it needs, Dickerson said.
Obama’s budget also mentions USDS’ Digital Services Playbook and the TechFAR as key tools in coming years to train the federal IT acquisition workforce and the agile backbone for the new digital services teams.
“It’s moving from hundreds of pages of detailed requirements to things that are focused on outcomes and producing modular results that deliver progress along the way,” said Beth Cobert, OMB’s deputy director of management, in the media call. “I know from the employees who I talk to everyday, that if they feel like they can feel like they’re making faster progress in delivering services to the citizens they’re trying to serve, they are more engaged.”
This proposal comes as part of Obama dedication to “creating a Government that makes a significant, tangible, and positive difference in the economy and the lives of the American people, and to driving lasting change in how Government works.” Along with support for the USDS, Obama is looking to double down on his management agenda, which, in addition to promoting wiser spending on IT, calls for the creation of new Idea Labs around government, the opening of more government data, and attracting and retaining the best talent in the federal workforce.
The president’s $4 trillion budget proposal is actually a request. The budget must pass the Republican-controlled Congress.

Basically, to grow Ramble, existing users could invite specific people instead of advertising broadly. Quality > quantity
Since registration needs to be turned off right now anyways because of abuse, to grow the user base current users of the site could invite specific quality people from other sites, maybe with invite codes or by just sharing a secret date that registration opens. Those invited people can invite others and at some point we might have enough people that registration can be open to everyone again because there will be more people coming on the site regularly and moderating or reporting illegal activity. Invites aren’t great for the privacy of either the inviter or invitee but could be used in the beginning to get a really good user base that will attract more quality users after the forum is opened up.
For a free speech site to really change society, it needs to have an influence on the thinking of at least some people who have high positions in society, such as CEOs, business leaders, as well as high earners who can fund solutions, people with the technical skills to implement solutions, academics who can influence the culture in universities etc. These tend to be smarter than average people who are turned off of a lot of the content on, for example, Bitchute or the .win forums. They usually don't have time or interest in sifting though nonsense to find the good content. I’m not saying to turn this into some kind of Mensa circlejerk, but it’s good for smart people to have uncensored forums to get info and ideas in front of other smart people for critique and discussion, without the space being flooded by theories about Q, black eyed children, demonic alien parasites etc.
r/conspiracy on Reddit has a lot of good content and is one of the only major spaces left for relatively free speech on Reddit, but there are a lot of gullible people there too. Occasionally I see users on r/conspiracy who stand out as critical thinkers who are not just parroting the latest thing from Stew Peters or Charlie Ward. Sometimes they only have a few upvotes because most people have attention spans too short to read through what they have to say. So those are the kinds of people I would want to invite. I sometimes save interesting Reddit posts I come across so I could go through them and invite some people. Other people might want to invite good posters from other forums they go to. It could be people from Linux forums, programming forums, investing forums, or whatever. I think the main thing is to not invite too many users from other small free speech platforms, so that other free speech platforms are not made worse by siphoning away the best users.
Aside from schizo theories like “Sodomy taught by Dracos to Nazis as Atlantis art to infuse LGBTPB demon spirits to create child sex slave alters” (that's a real Bitchute video description), another issue on certain free speech sites, though some consider this a feature, is that some sites (like voat) are echo chambers that drive the vast majority of people away. To be clear, I don't think people should self censor and still think all speech should be allowed here, but as long as we're inviting a variety of people from different sites, it won't become an echo chamber and “I wish the holocaust actually happened” type posts will not be frequent enough to drive potential users away. The main practical precaution, if inviting leftists, would be to avoid inviting people who are pro-censorship since they might try to ruin the website any way they can.

Music has been an integral part of the American education system since the late 19th century. But have you ever wondered when exactly school music education began in the United States? In this article, we will delve into the history of music education in American schools and uncover the year when it all began. Get ready to explore the fascinating world of music and education as we embark on a journey through time.
School music education in the United States began in the late 19th century. The first formal music programs were established in the eastern states, and eventually spread to the rest of the country. The primary focus of these programs was on vocal music and classical instrumental music, with an emphasis on training future church choir directors and concert orchestra conductors. Over time, the curriculum expanded to include a wider range of musical styles and instruments, and music education became a standard part of the public school system. Today, music education is an important part of many schools across the United States, providing students with the opportunity to learn about music theory, performance, and history, and to develop their musical skills and talents.
The Evolution of Music Education in the United States
The Early Years: Colonial Times to 1865
During the colonial period in the United States, music education was not considered a formal part of the school curriculum. However, music was still an important aspect of daily life, with singing and instrumental music being used in religious services and community events.
As the country began to develop, so did the role of music education in schools. In the early 19th century, many states began to establish public schools, and music was slowly incorporated into the curriculum. In some cases, music was taught as part of a broader program of “moral instruction,” which aimed to instill virtue and character in students.
In the mid-19th century, the concept of music education as a separate and distinct subject began to take shape. The rise of the common school movement, which aimed to provide a standardized education to all children, led to the creation of more formal music curricula. This was also the period when the first music teacher training programs were established.
Despite these developments, music education remained a somewhat ad hoc affair, with resources and funding varying widely from one school district to another. It was not until the late 19th and early 20th centuries that music education began to be recognized as a vital component of a well-rounded education, and dedicated music teachers and programs began to be established in schools across the country.
The Growth of Music Education: 1865 to 1917
The period between 1865 and 1917 was a significant one in the development of music education in the United States. During this time, the number of schools offering music education increased, and the curriculum expanded to include more diverse genres of music. Additionally, the rise of public schools and the establishment of statewide music organizations helped to further promote the growth of music education.
One of the most notable developments during this period was the increased emphasis on music as a subject in its own right. This shift was reflected in the growing number of schools that began to offer music classes as part of their regular curriculum. Many of these classes were taught by trained music educators who were specifically hired to teach music.
Another important factor in the growth of music education during this period was the emergence of new technologies and resources. For example, the invention of the phonograph in the late 1800s made it possible for students to listen to recordings of music and learn from them. This was a significant improvement over earlier methods, which had relied primarily on sheet music and live performances.
The establishment of statewide music organizations also played a role in the growth of music education during this period. These organizations, which were often founded by music educators and other advocates, helped to promote the importance of music education and provided resources and support for teachers. They also helped to establish standards for music education and encouraged the development of music programs in schools.
Overall, the period between 1865 and 1917 was a time of significant growth and development for music education in the United States. The increased emphasis on music as a subject, the emergence of new technologies and resources, and the establishment of statewide music organizations all contributed to the expansion of music education in schools across the country.
The Golden Age of Music Education: 1917 to 1945
During the period between 1917 and 1945, music education in the United States underwent a significant transformation, becoming more accessible and widespread. This era is often referred to as the “Golden Age” of music education, as it marked a time of unprecedented growth and innovation in the field.
One of the key factors that contributed to this growth was the establishment of music education as a standard part of the public school curriculum. In the aftermath of World War I, there was a growing recognition of the importance of music education as a means of fostering cultural development and national identity. As a result, many states began to incorporate music instruction into their educational systems, leading to a significant expansion of access to music education for children and young adults across the country.
Another important development during this period was the rise of music education research and the development of new teaching methods and materials. In the years following World War I, a number of universities and research institutions began to focus on the study of music education, and many new textbooks, instructional materials, and pedagogical approaches were developed during this time. This research helped to further legitimize music education as a valuable and necessary component of the school curriculum, and it contributed to the development of more effective and engaging teaching methods.
In addition to these developments, the Golden Age of music education was also marked by a number of significant cultural and artistic movements that had a profound impact on the field. The emergence of jazz music in the 1920s and 1930s, for example, led to a renewed interest in music education as a means of teaching improvisation and creativity. Similarly, the rise of orchestral music and classical composition during this period inspired many music educators to focus on developing students’ skills in these areas.
Overall, the Golden Age of music education was a time of tremendous growth and innovation in the field, marked by the establishment of music education as a standard part of the public school curriculum, the development of new teaching methods and materials, and the emergence of important cultural and artistic movements.
The Post-War Era: 1945 to 1970
After World War II, music education in the United States underwent significant changes. These changes were influenced by a variety of factors, including the rise of the baby boomer generation, the growing influence of technology, and the social and political climate of the time.
One of the most significant developments during this period was the rise of the baby boomer generation. This group, born between 1946 and 1964, represented a new demographic that had a profound impact on American culture. As these young people reached school age, they brought with them a new set of attitudes and expectations that shaped the way music education was delivered.
At the same time, technology was also beginning to play a more significant role in music education. New instruments, such as the electric guitar and synthesizer, were being developed, and they were incorporated into music curriculums across the country. Additionally, the advent of recorded music and the growth of the music industry created new opportunities for musicians and music educators alike.
Social and political changes during this period also had an impact on music education. The civil rights movement, the women’s movement, and the anti-war movement all contributed to a broader awareness of the importance of cultural diversity and social justice. These movements helped to create a more inclusive and diverse approach to music education, which continues to be an important goal today.
Overall, the post-war era was a time of significant change and growth for music education in the United States. These changes laid the foundation for many of the innovations and developments that we see in music education today.
The Modern Era: 1970 to Present

The Future of Music Education in the United States
Current Challenges and Trends
One of the biggest challenges facing music education in the United States today is a lack of funding. Many schools are forced to cut music programs due to budget constraints, which can have a devastating impact on students’ access to music education. This is particularly true in low-income communities, where music education is often the first thing to be cut when schools are faced with budget crises.
Another challenge facing music education is the changing demographics of the student body. As the population becomes more diverse, music educators must find ways to reach students from a wide range of cultural backgrounds and ensure that the music curriculum is inclusive and reflective of the diverse communities they serve.
In addition, the rise of technology has also had an impact on music education. While technology can be a valuable tool for music educators, it can also be a distraction for students and can lead to a decrease in the quality of music education. Music educators must find ways to incorporate technology into their curriculum in a way that enhances, rather than detracts from, the learning experience.
Finally, there is a growing concern about the impact of standardized testing on music education. In many schools, music is seen as a “non-core” subject and is given less priority than subjects like math and science. This can lead to a reduction in the amount of time devoted to music education and can make it difficult for music educators to provide a well-rounded education to their students. Music educators must work to advocate for the importance of music education and fight to preserve it as a core subject in the curriculum.
Strategies for Improving Music Education
One of the primary goals of music education in the United States is to ensure that all students have access to high-quality music instruction. To achieve this goal, various strategies have been proposed and implemented by educators, policymakers, and organizations.
Teacher Training and Professional Development
One of the key strategies for improving music education is to invest in teacher training and professional development. This includes providing teachers with ongoing professional development opportunities to enhance their music teaching skills and knowledge. Additionally, it involves offering specialized training programs for music educators to ensure that they are equipped with the latest teaching methods and technologies.

Another strategy for improving music education is to integrate it into the core curriculum. This means that music education should not be viewed as an optional or extracurricular activity but rather as an essential component of a well-rounded education. By integrating music education into the core curriculum, students are more likely to view it as a valuable and relevant subject, which can lead to increased participation and engagement.
The integration of technology is another important strategy for improving music education. Technology can be used to enhance music instruction by providing students with access to digital music resources, such as online music libraries and music composition software. Additionally, technology can be used to create new opportunities for music collaboration and performance, such as virtual ensembles and online music festivals.
Partnerships with Community Organizations
Partnerships with community organizations are also essential for improving music education. These partnerships can provide students with access to additional music resources and opportunities, such as concerts, workshops, and masterclasses. Additionally, partnerships with community organizations can help to increase support for music education and promote its value to the broader community.
Research and Evaluation
Finally, ongoing research and evaluation are critical for improving music education. This includes conducting studies to determine the effectiveness of different music teaching methods and technologies, as well as assessing the impact of music education on student outcomes. By regularly evaluating the effectiveness of music education programs and practices, educators and policymakers can make informed decisions about how to improve and enhance music instruction for all students.
The Role of Technology in Music Education
With the advent of technology, music education in the United States has seen a significant shift in recent years. Technology has the potential to revolutionize the way students learn and engage with music, providing new opportunities for creativity, collaboration, and innovation. Here are some ways in which technology is transforming music education:
- Digital instruments and software: Digital instruments and software have become increasingly popular in music education, providing students with access to a wide range of sounds and instruments that would be impossible to reproduce with traditional instruments. Digital technology also allows for greater flexibility in the creative process, enabling students to experiment with different sounds and effects in real-time.
- Online resources and communities: The internet has made it easier than ever for music educators and students to access a wealth of resources and connect with others in the field. Online resources such as YouTube tutorials, music education blogs, and social media platforms provide a valuable source of information and inspiration for music students and teachers alike. Online communities such as forums and social media groups also offer opportunities for collaboration and networking among music educators and students.
- Music technology curriculum: Many schools and music programs now offer courses in music technology, teaching students how to use technology to create and produce music. These courses often cover topics such as music production software, sound design, and digital audio workstations (DAWs). By incorporating music technology into the curriculum, schools can prepare students for careers in the music industry and equip them with the skills needed to succeed in a rapidly evolving field.
- Virtual music lessons: Technology has also made it possible for students to receive music lessons from anywhere in the world. Online platforms such as Skype and Zoom have made it easy for students to connect with music teachers and receive instruction remotely. This has opened up new opportunities for students who may not have access to local music teachers or who prefer the convenience and flexibility of online lessons.
Overall, technology is playing an increasingly important role in music education in the United States, providing new opportunities for creativity, collaboration, and innovation. As technology continues to evolve, it is likely that music education will continue to adapt and incorporate new tools and techniques to enhance the learning experience for students.
Preparing for the Future of Music Education
The Importance of Technology in Music Education

The Need for Inclusivity and Diversity in Music Education
Another important aspect of preparing for the future of music education is promoting inclusivity and diversity in the classroom. This includes representing a wide range of musical genres and styles, as well as providing opportunities for students of all backgrounds to participate in music-making. By creating a more inclusive and diverse environment, music educators can help to foster a greater appreciation and understanding of different cultures and musical traditions.
The Role of Music Education in Social-Emotional Learning
Finally, the future of music education may involve a greater focus on social-emotional learning. Research has shown that participating in music-making can have a positive impact on students’ emotional well-being, as well as their ability to work collaboratively and communicate effectively. By incorporating music education into social-emotional learning programs, educators can help to promote the development of essential life skills such as empathy, self-regulation, and problem-solving.
Overall, by embracing these key trends and developments, music educators can help to ensure that music education remains a vital and relevant part of the school curriculum for years to come.

2019 Honda HR-V Vs Ford EcoSport
When it comes to buying a new car, it’s all about value, which is why subcompact crossovers have become so popular these days.
Meet the Contenders
Get the Flash Player to see this player.
The Honda HR-V learned this lesson quickly, as one of the earliest subcompact crossovers out there, taking the popular Honda Fit, raising its ride height and offering all-wheel-drive. It’s been around so long that it just received a refresh that includes a high-end Touring model, which is what we’re testing.
The Ford EcoBoost is late to the game, at least here in North America. The small Ford has been available in other markets around the world for a long time but has just arrived for the US roads. It’s Fiesta-like styling and the tech-heavy cabin will help it draw some fans but we had to compare the two cars to truly see if the EcoSport can best the HR-V.
Honda HR-V: the Specs
The Honda HR-V is powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that’s paired to a CVT. It makes 141 horsepower and 127 lb-ft of torque. This Touring model features all-wheel-drive and it earns a combined 28 MPG, an impressive figure. However, the powertrain is the furthest from sporty that you can imagine, but a sport mode and some paddle-shifters try to make the drive a bit more engaging. It doesn’t do much: any time you try to get going in a hurry, the HR-V responds by ramping up the RPMs and making a racket. Speed doesn’t come until much later, and not in proportion to all the noise. It’s advised to drive patiently where the HR-V responds with excellent fuel mileage and a sedate cabin.
The Honda gets that quieter cabin thanks to all the additional sound deadening material and active noise cancellation that Honda has added this year. The interior is also nicely appointed for a car in this class. It features double-stitched leather seating and plenty of cubbies and storage spots. The HR-V is a packrats dream. It’s spacious and practical thanks to the layout of the rear seats, which can fold downwards and upwards.
The infotainment system is a bit dated feeling, with slow response and an ugly layout. Fortunately, the HR-V features Android Auto and Apple Car Play support so you’re not stuck with the basic layout. The smartphone support also throws in some nice functionality to the gauge cluster, like showing navigation directions on the dashboard. However, it was difficult to see the cruise control settings.
On the road, the HR-V feels refined with its limited noise and smooth on-road feel. The Honda crossover tackles the road with ease, and while it isn’t as eager as some of Honda’s cars like the Fit or Civic, the HR-V never feels as lumbering and stagnant as the CR-V. This car also takes bumps and rough roads pretty well, the only exception being potholes, so it’s ideal to keep an eye open for those.
The AWD system has been updated for better performance on snow, something we’ll have to revisit in the winter, but it’s definitely a step up over some rivals in this segment, since cars like the Toyota C-HR and Nissan Kicks are only offered with front-wheel-drive.
Where the HR-V really shows off is with its available driver’s assistance features. You’ll find adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning and lane-keeping systems in this car, but they can definitely feel like pared-down, budget versions of those systems. The ACC doesn’t work well at low speeds, even show you the set speed or gap settings. The vehicle also has the sometimes useful Honda LaneWatch system, which isn’t as good as a dedicated blind spot monitor, but better than nothing.
All of this comes in at a price of just under $30,000 which is a good bargain, but about a grand more expensive than the Ford.
Ford EcoSport: the Specs
The Ford has a bigger engine lurking under the hood, a 2.0-liter that makes 166 hp and 149 lb-ft of torque. It’s more powerful for sure, but it’s also less fuel-conscious, earning a 25 MPG rating by the EPA. The EcoSport uses a traditional feeling six-speed automatic, and although that feels more familiar on the road, it clearly impacts the fuel economy.
This is a car that really feels like it only has 166 hp. It really doesn’t need to be very fast, but it also isn’t, which begs the question: So why is the fuel economy suffering so much?
The cabin is more on the utilitarian side of things, although that might suggest the EcoSport is more practical. With a side-hinged cargo opening and less storage space, it’s not nearly as functional as the Honda. And the rear seats are almost impossible to live with, leaving passengers with no legroom.
The seats are comfy, even if they’re cloth, and front-seat riders will find a healthy amount of space. The Ford Sync infotainment system is much better than the Honda system and has the same features.
Driving the EcoSport won’t leave you with any satisfying emotions. It’s the opposite of fun or enjoyable, but it has its high points. The steering is heavy, feeling just right in your hands. Yes, it lacks feedback, of course it does, but there’s a bit of fun in getting the EcoSport to lean during on-ramps. Unfortunately, the ride can get choppy on rough roads.
Our experience of the EcoSport has us looking elsewhere. It’s not as practical, not as smooth to drive and looks a little silly. It’s a bit peppier on the road than the HR-V but it drops the ball in terms of fuel economy.
The Verdict: 2019 Honda HR-V vs Ford EcoSport
As we said before, value is the biggest factor when it comes to buying these small crossovers. The Ford just doesn’t cut it yet and has a long way to go before it’s in the same league as the Honda HR-V.
With more features, more MPGs and more refinement, the Honda HR-V is clearly the better car of these two.

He travels the country speaking and teaching, and frequently shares his story of faith on social media.
What church was Perry Noble at?

The church has become one of the most influential churches in the Southeast, drawing in people from all walks of life with an emphasis on grace and love. Perry Noble remained a highly sought-after speaker and used his platform to share the gospel and his message of a fresh start, especially being an example of redemption through his own personal struggles.
He made an impact on the lives of countless people while pastoring NewSpring Church, and will always be remembered for it.
What denomination is NewSpring Church?
NewSpring Church is a non-denominational Christian church. While non-denominational churches are typically independent, some members of NewSpring have formed relationships with larger denominational bodies.
NewSpring is a part of the Reformed Church in America, the Southern Baptist Convention, the Assemblies of God, the Christian and Missionary Alliance, the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, and the United Methodist Church.
NewSpring’s emphasis on outreach, evangelism, and discipleship through multimedia messages and focused small group ministries focuses on building relationships rather than denominational distinctions.
As a non-denominational church, NewSpring is based on the authority of the Bible and is free from any formal ties to any denomination.
The core beliefs of NewSpring Church are similar to traditional evangelicalism and include essential biblical doctrines such as the Trinity, salvation through Jesus Christ, and the ongoing power of the Holy Spirit.
NewSpring also adheres to a high view of scripture, including its inerrancy and sufficiency.
Who is the head of NewSpring Church?
The head of NewSpring Church is Pastor Perry Noble. Perry has been the lead pastor of the church since its inception in 2000. He established NewSpring Church with the belief that people need a community to grow spiritually, be transformed, and become equipped to serve their community.

Perry is passionate about making church relevant, inspiring and transforming lives. He speaks from the heart and shares from his own experiences and hopes to reach people from all walks of life.
Is Perry Noble still a pastor?
No, Perry Noble is no longer a pastor. After 17 years of ministry and pastoring at NewSpring Church in South Carolina, Perry resigned in 2016 due to personal issues, including alcohol addiction. After going through a season of recovery and personal development, Perry started a podcast, Noble Warriors, and has written two books.

He has an extensive background in preaching and teaching and is known for his moving and inspiring messages. He has a strong passion for seeing people come to a saving faith and a deep love of God and those he serves.
Why was Perry Noble removed from church?
Perry Noble was removed from his position as senior pastor at NewSpring Church in Anderson, South Carolina in 2016 due to violations of personal policies related to his health and behavior. After a two-month self-imposed sabbatical for the purpose of personal and spiritual growth, Noble acknowledged that he had developed unhealthy practices of overworking, drinking alcohol as a coping mechanism, and neglecting to create boundaries with female church members.
Noble was removed from the church to ensure that he would have the space he needed to continue on his path to recovery and personal growth. The church placed him on leave until he could demonstrate that personal policies were in place that could ensure the health and well-being of the church and its members.
In addition, NewSpring also held themselves accountable by creating a task force to oversee pastoral transitions and to ensure that appropriate steps be taken as part of the transition process.
NewSpring’s decision to remove Pastor Noble was made with the understanding that this would be the best approach to ensure the health, safety, and overall well-being of the members of the church and its leadership.
As he continues to receive professional help and walk in the process of recovery, NewSpring still supports him in prayer, knowing that his recovery is essential for his peace, joy and the health of both the church and community.

What is turbinate dysfunction? What are swollen turbinates?
Turbinate dysfunction occurs when the bone structures on the inside of the nose, called turbinates, do not function properly. The general purpose of the turbinates is to control the airflow in the nasal passage. The most common dysfunction of the turbinates is called turbinate hypertrophy, or enlarged turbinates.
Swollen turbinates are often situational, lasting for a few hours and then returning to their normal state. In other cases, enlarged turbinates is a chronic condition, in which case symptoms are more severe and long-lasting.
What causes turbinate dysfunction?
Turbinate hypertrophy, or enlarged turbinates, is the most common dysfunction experienced. It is generally caused by one of the following conditions:
What are the symptoms of turbinate dysfunction?
Common symptoms associated with turbinate dysfunction include:
- Blocked nasal airway (nasal obstruction)
- Feeling of pressure in nose or face
- Tiredness / fatigue
- Pain in nasal area or face
How is turbinate dysfunction treated?
Turbinate reduction can be performed at New York ENT in order to reduce the size of nasal turbinates, and decrease the effects of turbinate dysfunction. This minimally invasive procedure is done in-office and can provide significantly improved nasal passages quickly.
If you are suffering from turbinate dysfunction, the first step towards feeling better is to schedule an evaluation with an experienced ear, nose and throat doctor. Board certified physicians with New York ENT have extensive experience diagnosing and treating a wide variety of nasal conditions. Fill out the form on this page or call our office at 212-873-6036 to schedule an appointment today.

The National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has warned Nigerians against the use of PrimeZen Black 6000mg, a male performance enhancement capsule, recalled from the market.
The agency’s recall is contained in a public alert with No. 015/2023, signed by its Director-General, Prof Mojisola Adeyeye, and issued to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja, on Sunday.
Adeyeye said that Volt Candy is voluntarily recalling the one lot of PrimeZen Black 6000mg capsule alongside its 2000mg, due to undeclared ingredients they were made of by their manufacturer in America.
“The recall followed the analysis of Food and Drug Agency (FDA) of the United States of America, an FDA, which found the PrimeZen capsules to contain undeclared tadalafil and sildenafil.
“Sildenafil and tadalafil are phosphodiesterase (PDE-5) inhibitors found in FDA-approved products for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction.
“The presence of sildenafil and tadalafil in PrimeZen Black 6000mg capsules renders them unapproved drugs for which safety and efficacy have not been established and, therefore, subject to recall.
“Risk Statement, PrimeZen Black 6000 capsules containing sildenafil and tadalafil may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may cause a significant drop in blood pressure that may be life-threatening.
“People with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates.
“Among the adult male population who are most likely to use these products, adult males who use nitrates for cardiac conditions are most at risk from these products,” she said.
According to her, “The product details are as follows; PrimeZEN Black 6000 male enhancement capsules, manufactured by Volt Candy, 324 S. Diamond Bar Blvd #212, USA.”
The NAFDAC boss said that the lot Number: NPINPB 1003, UPC code: 728175521891, expiration date is Aug. 16, 2025, for PrimeZen Black 6000mg being marketed online as a dietary supplement for male enhancement and is packaged in a blister card with one capsule.
Adeyeye added that the product can be identified by the card color in black with the name on it PrimeZen Black 6000.
“NAFDAC hereby implores members of the public in possession of the above product to stop the sale or use, as well as handover the product to the nearest agency office,” she said.
The DG appealed to those who have the falsified product, to “please DO NOT use it.”
“If you, or someone you know, have used the product, or suffered any adverse reaction after use, please seek immediate medical advice,” she advised.
She also advised healthcare professionals and consumers to report any suspicion of adverse drug reactions, or substandard and falsified medicines to the nearest NAFDAC office.
Adeyeye said that the public was also advised to report any adverse reactions of the product to NAFDAC on 0800-162-3322
The DG also encouraged healthcare professionals and patients to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of medicinal products through the use of the E-reporting platforms available on the NAFDAC website “http://www.nafdac.gov.ng/”.

Y’all know that Peckham isn’t really in the Middle East, right? But for our purposes it may as well be, as it is from there that so much of my vegetable lore has been sourced. A lot of it from our pet greengrocer, who never ceases to surprise us with his range of weird and whacky vegetables.
Cho cho goes under many aliases. When we first met him he was masquerading as a rather sad, tasteless side dish in Barbados. As the man and I were on our honeymoon however, and the moon was as full as our glasses, and our table was on the beach, and I was wearing that skirt that I’d waited forever to wear, we barely noticed our vegetable accompaniments. As erstwhile gourmands we did think to ask our waiter about it, and discovered that in that part of the world it is called a christophine. Cho cho is also known as chayote, vegetable pear and choko. When I saw it in the greengrocers the other day I couldn’t resist having a go at preparing it, kind of figuring that in the worst case scenario one’s best beloved would simply spit it out and scowl.
So here you go: one vegetable, prepared 2 + 1/2 different ways….
Cho cho needs to be peeled. Er, and that’s it. There is a stone in the middle, which is entirely edible if a teensy bit bitter. So you can chop it, dice it, slice it, grate it…
It is most commonly boiled, quite often in the context of soup, and so that is what I did with the first one. In fact the two Jamaicans who were in the greengrocers at the time I was buying my cho chos solemnly informed my that I ‘HAD to boil them and eat them with beef’. It tastes a little like boiled cucumber or marrow, although as long as you don’t over cook it (it needs about 8 minutes) it has a much better texture. To make it slightly more flavoursome I then tossed it (still hot) in sekanjabin (Persian mint sherbert) and fresh mint and freshly squeezed lime: you could improvise with mint sauce if you don’t live too near an Iranian corner shop. Cho cho must be a cold food (sard) under the Persian system of dietetics, and so the mint (which is garm, or warm) offsets it nicely, whilst enhancing the slight sweetness of the vegetable. Frankly it was delicious and even one’s extraordinarily pernickety in-laws tucked in. This ‘recipe’ would also work well with marrow.
The second one we cut into semi circular slices and fried in olive oil. Once it started to soften a tad, we lobbed in 2-3 cloves of diced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, a pinch of chilli flakes and 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric. When it started to brown we added 2-3 tomatoes, similarly sliced, and then we covered the pan, turned off the heat and let the cho cho just sit there stewing a while. Know what? It was even deliciouser than the first ‘recipe’. We ate it with forks and moppy bread straight from the pan. One’s best-beloved didn’t scowl. This way of preparing it, for those of you who do not have the fortune of living in Peckham, would also work well with courgette or aubergine.
Oh, and the 1/2 recipe to which I referred above? Cho cho is also real nice raw – it makes for fairly fun crudites, holds its own in a salad, and lends pleasing crunchiness in sarnies….

Byeneme is a small community in Sodo, one of the communes along the southern border of Haiti’s Central Plateau. It sits near the ridge that divides the commune from the plain that encompasses Pòtoprens, and offers a panoramic view of the valley to the north, which includes downtown Sodo and downtown Mibalè, too. The road into Byeneme does not pass through Sodo. The only direct route to the downtown area is a footpath straight down the hill. The road in runs, instead, along the ridge from National Route 3, in Fon Cheval.
The CLM program launched in Byenmeme in 2011, as part of its initial scale-up. The single case manager assigned to the area worked there one day a week with about a dozen families. It was a separate little population of members, disconnected geographically from the rest of their cohort. They graduated as part of a group of 300 families in downtown Sodo in March 2012.
Joisimène Bernard was a member of the cohort. At the time, she, her husband, and their children were really struggling. She wasn’t able to send the kids to school consistently, and the family lived in a shack covered only with a tarp.
The couple was excited to be able to build a new house. They received roofing tin, cement, and money to hire a builder from Fonkoze, but they wanted a larger house, so her husband went off to Delma, the populous residential suburb just north of Pòtoprens, and found whatever odd jobs he could so that they could double the amount of roofing tin they had to work with and, so, build an additional room.
Joisimène received goats and small commerce from the program. The goats never really prospered, but her commerce took off. She would buy produce — anything in season — at three different local markets: Dalon, Ti Sekèy, and Labasti. She kept 2000 gourds or so in the business. Then she’d haul her merchandise for sale in the large, residential areas near the capital. It was a reliable business, and it allowed her to grow. She saved some of her profit in her Fonkoze savings account until she had enough to buy a small cow. The cow grew and eventually had a calf. Then it got sick and died, leaving her with a healthy heifer. She’s hoping that, with patient care, it will eventually take its mother’s place and provide her calves.
The commerce was working well until the political troubles that developed in Haiti over the past year made it difficult. Prices for the kind of merchandise she would buy increased more quickly than her capital did, and at the same time transportation strikes and blockages increased the cost and the difficulty of getting merchandise to Pòtoprens.
So she gave it up. She saw that she needed to keep working, however, so she came up with another plan. With as little as 500 gourds — less than $5 — she can go down to Mibalè and buy bread, which sells well in her community. She can sell it for 1200 to 1300 gourds. So it’s profitable, even when she pays 250 for transportation. She doesn’t make a lot of money, but it’s enough to send her kids to school and keep them fed. “Children are different from adults. If they get nothing to eat, they complain.”
Wideline Pierre and her husband, Louinèl Maxi, were part of the cohort as well. They, too, chose goats and small commerce, but Wideline’s business was less successful than Joisimène’s. She sold basic groceries in Byeneme. Things like rice, oil, seasoning, etc. But such businesses are extremely hard to sustain. Neighbors buy on credit, and they don’t always pay. Eventually Wideline gave up. The capital she had left wasn’t enough to continue.
But in a sense, it wasn’t important to the couple. They have a strong partnership, and were used to depending more on what Louinèl could bring in. He would travel from Byeneme to Delma every Sunday afternoon and work there until Saturday, when he’d return home with his earnings. He would do construction jobs when he could find them, but he was never very particular. When he couldn’t find a job, he would hang out at the stations where riders get on and off the pick-up trucks that provide most of Pòtoprens’s public transportation, and hire himself out as a porter.
But in the last couple of years, things have gotten harder. Louinèl hasn’t been well. He’s had stomach problems that he hasn’t been able to shake. He can’t eat much of anything. His family makes him a watery soup out of stale bread and greens. For someone in his line of work, nothing is more important than physical strength, and he hasn’t been able to keep his strength up.
So Louinèl and Wideline had to change the way they do things. Wideline and the youngest of their six children moved to Pòtoprens to live principally with the child’s godmother. Wideline found work as a maid. She gets paid at the end of every month, and come up to Byeneme for a couple of days at home.
The new way of life works for the couple in a sense. Their children are healthy and well-fed, and they attend school, things the were a struggle before Wideline joined CLM. But their life isn’t what they’d like it to be. Louinèl explains, “You’re never really doing well when you’re working for someone else.”
Like Wideline, Marie Lourde Ciléus is hard to find in Byeneme. Her husband, Beauvilus, is more stable there. But her story is quite different from Wideline’s. Marie Lourde is a merchant.
Every Monday, she travels north from Byeneme to a large rural market in Difayi. Farmers come to Difayi from all across the mountains of northern Boukankare, and Marie Lourde buys their produce. Then she hauls whatever she’s purchased south for sale in the large produce market at Kwabosal, below Pòtoprens. She spends a night at home on the way.
It’s a hard life, but life was harder before she joined the program. Beauvilus reports that their children would get sent home from school because the couple couldn’t pay school fees. They had a hard time even feeding them, and the children sometimes missed school because there was nothing to eat at home. “We wouldn’t even bother to light the fire,” he explains.
Even now, life has its ups and down. Their sixth child had to be delivered by Caesarean section, and the expense ate up all the money Marie Lourde had in her business.
Beauvilus himself had always been a farmer. “When I was young, my parents didn’t think it was important for me to learn a trade.” But farming in Byeneme has been increasingly difficult. Water is scarce in the area, and millet, which had long been the most important staple in the region, was eliminated by the same disease that eliminated it throughout Haiti. Beauvilus now plants a little corn, and a few pigeon peas, but it’s not a living.
Marie Lourdes success as a business women, however, comes with advantages. When she was ready to go back to work after having their child, she talked to a merchant she travels with. The women who run such businesses in Haiti are called “Madan Sara.” It’s a name they share with a highly social species of bird known especially for making a lot of noise as they chatter with one another.
Marie Lourdes and the other Madan Sara talked, and the woman agreed to lend her the money she would need to return to business. Some weeks it’s 5000 gourds, sometimes it’s 10,000. It depends on what the other woman has available. But for the other woman, it’s worth it to be traveling in business with a trusted friend. It has meant that Marie Lourdes, Beauvilus, and their kids can get by as Marie Lourdes rebuilds her own capital.

Before gaming last night Rick and I stopped in at Games & Gizmos in Redmond. He wanted to pick up the rulebook and first army book for AT-43, the latest miniatures game from Rackham. Rick is a sucker for good art and graphic design and French game companies tend to excel in those areas. I flipped through the books and indeed they are very pretty. And yet I still hesitate to give AT-43 a try. I chalk this up to two things. First, Rackham’s history of English-language products is spotty at best. A couple of years ago I made a point of going to their GenCon booth to buy Confrontation, 3rd edition. At last, I thought, all the Confrontation rules in one beautiful hardback. I put it in my carryon so I could read it on the flight back to Seattle. I got about 30 pages in before the terrible translation made me put the book down. It was clear that the translator was not a native English speaker and it showed. Last GenCon I passed on buying the even more beautiful Cadwallon game after that experience. I figured I’d wait for reviews to come in and sure enough when they did a similar problem was identified.
The other thing makes me hesitate is the miniatures themselves. They look nice enough and are much better than many pre-painted minis. Non-collectibility is also a huge plus in my book. I have yet to see the army that is so cool looking that I have to have it though. Most of the figs are very similar to 40K ranges like the Imperial Guard and Necrons. The AT-43 walkers are nice because plastic construction means they can be nice and big. The apes in power armor are also intriguing but there don’t seem to be many released yet. I suppose it must also be said that I need another miniatures game like I need another D&D; book full of feats and prestige classes. So until I hear more about the translation and see an army that really appeals to me, I’ll be holding back on investing in AT-43. And hell, I still have Panzer IVHs and Nebelwerfers to assemble and I’ve been meaning to do that for months.

An amazing level of interest is being shown in my Workplace Mental Fitness Positive Position Statement. Posted on my website late last year the Statement is getting by far the most hits and comments (all positive and supportive) of any topic on my site.
It's exciting to find such a keen interest in identifying that leisure has a strong yet simple and cost-effective link with the difficult problem of managing workplace mental health.
If the length and detail of the Statement deters you, go straight to the comments. These will provide any evidence you need to read the full Statement and discuss its potential for your organisation.
And because mental health is, in the final analysis, only manageable by the individual the Statement can be of personal interest too.

Can You Sue a Landlord for a Fall Accident in Philadelphia?
Under Pennsylvania law, tenants and their guests can sue landlords for fall accidents in public areas like walkways, hallways, parking lots, etc. However, there must be evidence of negligence on the part of the landlord. Landlords aren’t liable simply because a tenant or a guest fell on the property. In addition, landlords are generally not liable for fall accidents that happen inside the apartment.
What a Tenant Has to Prove in a Fall Accident Lawsuit Against a Landlord
In a case where a fall accident happens in public areas of an apartment complex, landlords are treated like a business. This means landlords have a duty to make the public areas safe from unreasonably dangerous conditions such as, water, snow and ice from inclement weather and crumbling or uneven sidewalk caused by tree roots.
This responsibility applies to any place that’s open to all tenants and their guests, including sidewalks, walkways, parking lots, mail room areas, laundry areas, and more.
Negligence & Proof
Negligence in these cases can be proved in one of two ways: actual knowledge and constructive knowledge. To prove actual or direct knowledge, there must be evidence that the landlord knew about a dangerous condition prior to the incident. This typically involves evidence that others complained about the problem or evidence that at least one other person fell due to the same defect. Proving actual knowledge requires proving who knew what and when they knew it.
Constructive knowledge is little more complex. It requires analyzing the circumstances and arguing that even though there’s no direct knowledge, the landlord should have known about the problem. Proving constructive knowledge in a given case will depend on the specific facts and circumstances.
For example, in a sidewalk slip and fall due to ice, this might require looking at the weather in the days and hours before the incident occurred and comparing this with the landlord’s shoveling and salting schedule.
In a parking lot trip and fall due to a large crack in the pavement from tree roots, this might involve having a maintenance expert measure and examine the crack, tree roots and area surrounding the pavement to show just how long the crack would have existed prior to the incident.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Mets general manager Sandy Alderson has resisted naming Frank Francisco his team's closer.
Maybe his manager never got the memo.
"I think a lot will depend on what we see over the course of February and into March," Alderson recently told ESPN of Francisco's role. "I think that's something that will be determined in the course of spring training. Health is an issue. Performance is an issue."
Don't tell that to Francisco.
"I am the closer," he told the New York Post from the team's training complex in Port St. Lucie, Fla.
Manager Terry Collins sided with his right-hander.
"He is the closer," Collins told the Post.
What about Bobby Parnell?
"He's the future," Collins said.
Francisco went 1-3 with 23 saves and a 5.53 ERA in 2012, his first season with New York. He battled elbow issues in September, only appearing in six games. Parnell pitched in 15 games that month to the tune of a 0.60 ERA.
Francisco, who had surgery in December to remove a bone spur from his pitching elbow, declared himself "ready to go" for the start of the season.
"I understand we have concerns about his elbow, which is only natural, but he is going to start the season as the closer unless something dictates that he's not and that something would only be if his elbow is not ready," Collins said.
Alderson took a look at former San Francisco Giants closer Brian Wilson this offseason and was reported to have interest in Jose Valverde, former closer for the Detroit Tigers. A possible reunion with Francisco Rodriguez was also reportedly on their radar.
But it seems like it'll be Francisco's job to lose. Collins said the 33-year-old "is in the right frame of mind" heading into the final year of his contract.
As for his health, the elbow isn't the only thing Francisco is feeling good about.
"I was a little heavy last year coming into spring training," he told the Post. "I'm about 248 now. I feel good.''
How confident are you in Francisco? Sound off in the comments!

Comprehensive design and calculations for plastics
Most of the objects that surround us are synthetic materials. When working on the design of synthetic materials parts, we are faced with the challenges of what method to use for the technological process. The creation of injection molds and the analysis of the processes taking place during the flow of material is also a challenge for us. Autodesk software meets our expectations. Already at the stage of analysis of the injection into the mold, we can check the correctness of its implementation and possibly introduce corrections to it.
Autodesk Inventor Professional allows you to design parts that you want to use in production. Additional functionality of this program is the possibility of designing injection molds in the Mold Design tab. The big advantage is that you do not have to import models to other software, which allows you to make any corrections on an ongoing basis. The Mold Design material base will meet your expectations.
The Fusion 360 program will help you create standard elements but also allows you to create interesting parts using freeform modeling. CAM is also very often used in work. Fusion 360 can simulate machining: milling 2.5 axes, 3 axes + 2 indexed, engraving, and turning.
AUTODESK SIMULATION MOLDFLOW
Autodesk Simulation Moldflow is designed to design and simulate the operation of injection molds. Users of this software praise the ability to perform the most important analyzes for them, including analysis of heating and cooling of injection molds and analysis of fiber orientation. The material base is constantly updated with new items. Using the simulation software, we can make any changes at the design stage, which leads to savings in the project.
Using the above programs, you receive a solution that will fully allow you to design and manufacture plastic elements and optimize technological processes.
The main advantages of this solution are:
introducing corrections already at the design stage,
increasing the efficiency of the studio,
SOFTWARE USED IN THE DESIGN PROCESS
Below is a list of software that can support the playground design process.
Autodesk Inventor Professional – digital prototyping of machines and devices.
Autodesk Moldflow – Creates injection mold models with full analysis.

ISLAMABAD: The cabinet’s Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) approved a bailout package worth around Rs8 billion for Pakistan Steel Mills, Express News reported on Tuesday.
A profitable entity until 2011, the accumulative losses of the state-run steel mills have crossed Rs50 billion during the last four years. The unit is causing a loss of Rs550 million per month to the national exchequer.
In a meeting chaired by Finance Minister Abdul Hafeez Shaikh, the committee discussed the funding of Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda) developmental projects.
The ECC also approved allocation of newly found gas reserves by the Oil and Gas Development Company (OGDC) to various gas companies.
During the meeting, the committee reviewed the gas supply from Makori gas field to the Southern Gas Company (SSGC).

Giving something is often even more valuable than receiving something. In line with this idea, Waysis decided to support a good cause last Christmas. Because we also want to give children who have to stay in hospital for a long time a good time, we have chosen to support the CliniClowns. With the help of TMC and Brickyard employees, a tremendous amount was collected.
On January 17, 2024, Harro Homan (Regional Director Randstand Noord) of ProRail and Councilor Julie d’Hondt of the municipality of Bunnik gave the starting signal for the ‘National Rollout of Speed Cameras on Level Crossings’. We are proud to announce that from February 1, 2024 in Bunnik, the first of 44 level crossings will be…Bekijk het hele artikel →

Use of data-driven methods to search Electronic Health Records (EHRs) in aid of clinical trial recruitment
MetadataShow full item record
Recruiting participants into clinical studies is resource-intensive. However, nearly half of the trials fail to recruit enough participants, which lead to early termination or poor power of a study. Digitisation of health care records has ushered in second use of electronic health records (EHRs). One application is for participant identification and recruitment. Development of advanced analytics has also added more possibility to that end. In this thesis, an evaluation of an EHRs-based recruitment support service is presented first. Following that is a study of the contents of eligibility criteria and its availability in EHRs. A systematic review of advanced analytics applied to EHRs for recruitment purposes is reported after that. Finally, a retrospective study of identifying eligible participants for nine clinical studies from EHRs using case-based reasoning method is presented. It was found that EHRs-based recruitment service might have difficulty in identifying patients with certain symptoms and minor conditions due to lack of access to the full set of health care data. Study on eligibility criteria also corroborated that need to access primary care data and to involve advanced analytics in cohort identification in order to address different types of eligibility criteria. The review included 11 relevant papers and found that most were in-silico studies except for one interventional study. Performances could not be synthesised due to huge differences in experiment set-ups, including trial domain, number of trials used, analysis unit, outcome definition, evaluation method. A study using NLP-incorporated case-based reasoning generated good performance indicated by a relatively comprehensive set of measures. Adaptation of case-based reasoning method to EHRs for patient recruitment in SHARE showed good differentiation performances in seven projects. But it did not perform well when evaluated by information retrieval metrics. The results reflected that structured data alone cannot realise the full potential of the computable method, echoing the findings from the other studies.

Swami Vivekananda’s words “Arise, Awake!” still thunder and inspire millions of people around the world. These two words carry a call for the whole humanity to realize and wake up to their potential. This is not just a teaching from a renowned world teacher but a clarion call for future of humanity. Too many youngsters today face the confusion of trying to find what they really want to do in their life. Technology has brought the whole world together but also, it has brought exposure to too many options and distractions so that one loses their true calling, their uniqueness, their individual self. A child is naturally drawn to what he or she really feels authentic and joy, creativity and spontaneity effortlessly shine through. So how is it that they lose this natural capacity? How is it that the youngsters are so connected with the information about the world out there but so disconnected from their own wisdom?
Knowing one’s life purpose is about discovering one’s innate wisdom. This cannot be achieved through thinking, rationalizing or analyzing. Wisdom is not information! Humanity has seen the shift from hunting and gathering age to agricultural age 5000 years ago to industrial revolution few hundred years ago to information age few decades ago. The next step in this evolution invariably leads to the Age of Wisdom. Wisdom, not philosophy, that one can subscribe to that is preached by a religion, culture or creed but wisdom that is innate in everyone. Just like joy, creativity, and love has no religion, has no cast, similarly wisdom has no ethnocentric or socio-centric values or agenda. But how does one really discover this wisdom?
The answer is in silence or rather answer IS silence!
It is only in a deep silence that wisdom awakens. Only when the clouded sky clears up, the sun can shine through. Only when the mind subsides, wisdom can express itself. Easier said than done, one might say, but there is a good news to all of this. By the very nature of the mind, it stops after every thought – there is a gap between two thoughts. The famous phrase, “god is in the gap” is an apt one because in this gap lies answers to humanity’s confusions. It is this space that is the doorway to finding one’s life purpose. The good news is that this space is available right here, right now. Awareness is the key! One has to be aware of this gap and that is all that is needed to experience this unclutched space.
People spend thousands of dollars in stress relieving workshops, hire coaches and psychologists to try to understand what is it that they want to do in life. So it is understandable that it is hard for many people to believe that the answer can be so simple. But it is that simple! Stress is nothing but the friction with life which happens when one is not performing day to day activities with an alignment with his or her life purpose. Awareness of this space brings about a total psychological revolution, alters brain synapses and opens a new way of experiencing the world and self. So the answer may be simple but it has the potential to totally transform lives and bring about a major shift in one’s modus operandi. A key may look small but it can open big doors!
This is what is needed now, for each individual to find that key! Humanity does not need a new political system or a new economic system or a philosophy, humanity needs humans to embark on a journey of self-discovery. This journey of self-discovery awakens ruthless authenticity. Although upon hearing ruthless authenticity, one might visualize a great deal of force or struggle that goes into being authentic, but that is not the case. Ruthless authenticity is a dimension of wisdom. Every single rose bud has ruthless authenticity – it does not want to flower into anything else other than a rose – it simply cannot! It does not compare itself with a lotus or a lily or a sunflower, and does not think that there are so many other roses, how does it matter that one more rose flower will make any difference? No! It simply flowers! Because that is the whole point of its existence – to flower! That is the whole point of life – for that ruthless authenticity to flower into one’s life’s purpose and when one’s life purpose flowers it paves the way for clarity, actions, behaviors, and relationships that are out of pure ecstasy. Out of this comes an unshakable confidence and a fierce will to live life to its fullest.
When one discovers the purpose of their life, then no longer can they possess that life’s purpose, but rather, that purpose possess them! It is this extraordinary life that is each individual’s birth right. So arise and awake because life begins only after the discovery of life’s purpose. Life begins with this one resolution to embark upon a journey of self-discovery. Life begins right here and right now.

Dedicated to creating a way of life that is healthy, sustainable, fulfilling, and fun, Las Catalinas is undergoing exciting expansion and innovation, guaranteeing this to be a truly remarkable year for this new seaside town and Costa Rican history.
Many of the additions surround the new El Prado neighborhood, which will spread over 60 acres on the other side of the town's main public road, which will soon be revamped as a traditional Main Street with inviting shops, cafes, trees and sidewalks. El Prado’s Parque Central (Central Park) will offer playing fields, four tennis courts, a neighborhood pool and elegant walking paths to further heighten community recreation, and many of the homes here and surrounding walkways will open up directly onto the trail circuit, allowing mountain bikers to have the luxury of a true bike-in/bike-out experience. El Prado will introduce a new network of intricate and beautiful streets, plazas and passages and will provide a great variety of living options including flats and townhouses, houses along stair streets, and a number of lots for larger houses.
The Beach Club is also undergoing a complete refurbishment by D’Aqui Design and will re-emerge this July as a sexy chic watering hole with perfectly stylish lines and natural tones featuring striking wood accents and creative lighting to epitomize relaxed beach glamour.
Meanwhile, Pots & Bowls, the wildly popular restaurant that first opened as a food truck in the height of the pandemic now operates as an actual restaurant and has a new sister restaurant next door called Pascual offering farm-to-table tapas and a wide selection of wines. The coming months will also see the opening of Papagayo Taphouse by Papagayo Brewing Co and Coquelicot, a charming European style food cart specializing in ice cream and waffles.
Beach Town Travel is also excited to have partnered with Homes & Villas by Marriott International, which will now feature top listings from the Las Catalinas Collection, searchable by the destination of “Las Catalinas, Guanacaste, Costa Rica." Marriott Bonvoy members can now earn and redeem points by booking Las Catalinas Collection homes directly on Homes & Villas by Marriott International. These additions provide guests, including the more than 140 million members of Marriott International’s award-winning travel program even more great options to choose from when booking travel.
“Stair streets have much historic precedent in the world and are not often architected nor built in the modern world where cars have become the tail that wags the dog in terms of infrastructure and how humans get from point A to point B,” says Las Catalinas Director of Sales & Marketing Renae Johnson. “In a largely pedestrian town with intense sloping topography, we will utilize stair streets to encourage walkability, sociability and beauty.” The new stair street residences will flank either side of the most topographically challenging section of town. They will be highly visible and will offer panoramic ocean views from both the public areas surrounding the residences and from within each private home.

Finance leaders in most organizations are under increasing pressure to transform and streamline their financial close and reporting activities while continuing to maintain the integrity of the financial statements and the financial close process. A key aspect of the financial close process includes the completion of detailed account reconciliations, which is often a major bottleneck. In fact, account reconciliation is the primary non-data related delay in the financial close process.
Streamlining Account Reconciliations
The need to understand and certify an account balance and its transactions is mainly due to regulatory and audit control requirements. Therefore, finance leaders need an accurate reconciliation process that is fast, reduces risks and costs, and ensures regulatory compliance with a clear audit trail. This allows them to spend more time focusing on data analysis and strategic decision making.
However, in addition to the statutory requirements for account reconciliations, understanding the details and transactions behind every account offers many business benefits to finance executives. They need to be able to easily identify fraudulent, improper and excessively aged transactions. In most organizations, the account-reconciliation process is a manual, time-consuming and error-prone process. A robust and integrated, cloud-based account-reconciliation solution can allow finance departments to operate more effectively.
Account Reconciliation Best Practices
Enable Automated Account Reconciliation
Many organizations have to perform thousands of account reconciliations at the end of every month. Performing these tasks manually requires significant resources, takes a lot of time, is highly error-prone, and can delay the financial close process. This is further complicated by the number of managers and staff involved. To improve the efficiency and accuracy of these account reconciliations, organizations must adopt best practices and automate this process for suitable accounts. In order to automate processes and increase efficiencies, they need to:
- Fully integrate the account-reconciliation process into the financial close
- Provide workflow support for the account reconciliation process, including monitoring, reporting, and analysis
- Enable rule-based thresholds for automated certification and risk assessments
By doing this, organizations can achieve a predictable process timeline that ensures a faster financial close, improves finance staff efficiencies, and reduces the number of accounts to reconcile without reducing accuracy or increasing risk.
Manage Security and Risk
Businesses typically have issues in the account-reconciliation process with missing or lost reconciliations, along with un-reconciled accounts that increase the risk of inaccurate reports. These errors and missing values are often difficult to identify and can seriously compromise the accuracy of the reported numbers.
Additionally, businesses are struggling to control and manage access to sensitive financial data across the enterprise while using spreadsheets and outdated software. Errors are difficult to detect within the complex consolidation calculations, and there’s a lack of visibility into cash flow, intercompany transactions and other activity.
To control security and manage risk, organizations need to adopt the following best practices:
- Directly integrate data from their ERP systems, thereby ensuring all accounts are included
- Make sure they leverage existing IT investments
- Ensure the security and reliability of their account reconciliation software
Finance executives can relax knowing that their numbers are accurate and that their most important and sensitive data is only visible to authorized users.
Improve Collaboration Between Stakeholders
Organizations often have inefficient, error-prone processes for account reconciliation that involve many stakeholders across different departments. There’s also insufficient visibility and documentation due to the lack of modern tools for the job, as spreadsheets and email are most commonly used for account reconciliation.
Finance leaders must select the best software for efficient account reconciliation, with the following features:
- Provide instant visibility of the progress and status of the reconciliation lifecycle
- Employ cloud-based solutions to efficiently bring staff into the process
- Give access only to staff required for the specific items to be reconciled
- Use analytics to show process trends and areas for improvement
Collaboration is critical to getting account reconciliations done quickly and accurately, along with setting clear responsibilities, goals, and timelines. Companies that do this right will reduce the time it takes to complete the financial close.
Integrate with Other Systems
Organizations could be overlooking the availability of modern tools for account reconciliation because they’ve invested heavily in existing IT and have no bandwidth for managing add-on implementations.
Modern cloud-based financial systems are built using a best-practices approach, and have business user-driven data integration capabilities, so you can be assured all accounts and transactions are included. You can easily integrate with other business applications and systems such as supply chain or HR. These solutions are highly configurable and don’t require a lengthy or complex implementation project.

New paper published in Cell Reports
In our daily lives, stimuli are often predictive of negative or positive events that will occur some time later. We found that enhancing the activity of neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex enables rats to detect the relevant stimulus relationships across temporal intervals and identified a ramping increase of prefrontal theta and beta oscillations during the interval as a potential underlying mechanism. This work was conducted by Julien and Tag with helps from Huaying, Stephanie, and Nathan. The paper is available here.

The reading level for this article is Moderate
My recent research indicates that there is a little-known back door using news releases to gain an advantage in the search engines with key-phrases of value to your Web-based venture. In this article we will empower the small business with the ability to gain this advantage without necessarily having to hire a third party SEO consultant to achieve the same advantage. Southwest airline used a similar strategy, but hired a third party firm to achieve the results. We are not opposed to hiring third parties, in fact, highly recommend a few of them. But, it does not stand to reason that every detail about the way to effectively achieve these results should not be provided to clever zero budget and small business marketing entrepreneurs. That’s what this article accomplishes.
OK, the tool is PRWeb.com and you will submit a news release that has your desired key-phrase in the title to gain a key-phrase advantage. Choose the phrase carefully. Use the key-phrase in the link in the contact information that you fill in at the end of the news release. IF you want to gain the key-phrase "Key-Phrase Generation" expand it slightly so that if you do not get ranked highly with the desired phrase you might gain the more expanded version and gain some exposure as a backup plan. You might use the title "Key-phrase Generation Pumps" or "Automated Key-Phrase Generation Pumps" to further key-phrase possibilities. The key for small companies is not necessarily generating a lot of traffic as it is generating highly qualified browsers, or worse case, highly skilled Web searchers.
There are many nuances of which you should be aware to get the most bang for your PR buck. A well-written news release is a no-brainer since PRWeb delivers the release to a larger network of people that includes eMediaWire. When you submit your release and log into the PRWeb system, you will see a word count. Once the editors at PRWeb read and edit your release they will post a word count. Next to the word count in parentheses you will find a number between one and five. This is your ranking according to the editors. If it is not at least a three you will lose a lot of exposure. The release will not run in eMediaWire, thus losing their foot traffic and likely Google rankings as a result. Later in this article we post examples of key-phrases we own due to all the sites spoken of herein.
After you have at least a three out of five star news release you need to try to get listed in the top three releases for your publication date. Bidding, or as PRWeb calls it, contributing, at least $200 will give you the search engine reports that are very useful to keep you abreast of what key-phrases browser are actually using to locate the release.
As we already said a bid of $200 minimum is recommended, but don’t bid the whole $200 too far in advance. This gives other bidders a glimpse of what you are able, or willing, to do for a top three ranking. Top three will help ensure a better Google rankings and ensures more exposure through the PRWeb network, thus bringing more foot traffic and search engine rankings. Bid $80 two days in advance of the news release date, then add to the contribution the evening prior to the release. If you are a small business entrepreneur, this gives you the ability to beat the nine to fivers. This is a fact that I am sure has not escaped most of the entrepreneurs reading this article.
You can achieve a better ranking for less money on the weekend. I try to run them on Sunday. This gives two advantages. The first is that most regular employees are not as productive late on Friday evening, if at all, even during the work-day. Plus, even though it begins to run on Sunday, it is still distributed throughout the week. The last advantage is that when you post your last bid on Friday evening you can be relatively confident that you will not be overbid through the weekend. Holidays are also good for entrepreneurs to gain a leg up on the nine to five competitors.
When your release is submitted, go back log in and add industries by holding the ‘Control’ (ctrl) key and clicking on ten industries to increase distribution. If your release did not get a three out of five ranking, resubmit it. For a release scheduled to run on Sunday you can change it until late in the evening Saturday. Watch it carefully on Friday.
There is an input field in the PRWeb system where you enter desired key-phrases into the system while submitting your release. Choose as many key-phrase variations as possible to place into the PRWeb system. This has a high impact on traffic driven directly through the PRWeb system and some impact, not sure how much exactly, on search engine exposure.
– Choose an expanded primary key-phrase for the title of the release.
– Choose a list of key-phrases that include primary phrase and some that are variations thereof.
– Draft a well-written release of about 300 to 500 words.
– Submit the release in the morning bidding $80.
– When it is approved check on rating hoping for three out of five. The rating is in parentheses next to the word count. Re-write, and resubmit as necessary.
– Log into the system Add nine more industries to cover using the ‘Control’ (ctrl) key.
– Check your rank in the evening. IF you are not ranked three or better then increase your bid, contribution in $20 increments to get to third place.
– Check your ranking. If first place is around $200 then bid $201 minimum. If $200 does not get you to at least third place then reschedule the release for next Sunday, or increase your bid as your budget allows. This is your call. In my opinion it is well worth a thousand or more dollars for a top spot, but as entrepreneurs we can’t always make that happen.

I had to do it, even though it is the middle of winter. I had to swim in the Dead Sea, then cover myself in a thick black mud and then sit on one of Jordan’s cold, unsunny, stony beach to wait for the mud to dry till it cracked on my skin and fell off like eczema flakes. In all, not a pretty sight. I did it for you…
Dead Sea mud is supposed to be the oldest elixir of youth. Certainly the water in it is as old as time. The creation story goes that once there was a large ocean covering this part of the Middle East and as the land changed, it split into the Mediterranean Ocean, the Black, Red and Dead Seas and a series of lakes and rivers linking the ancient waterway.
The Dead Sea is fed by a stream from the River Jordan, mixing new water with the ancient brine that is so salty that you do indeed bob like a cork. Logic has it that the Dead Sea would taste disgusting. So why do we insist on tasting it? I tasted it. Absolutely gut-wrenchingly gross, a weird mix of sea salt and a deep, medicinal taste of stale water.
I walked into the water fearing for the old paper cuts running across four fingers, but they must have closed over because they didn’t sting like I expected they would. Then, while musing this unexpected wonder, I tripped on a stone and grazed my toes. People, I can report that yes it hurts like buggery when the salt gets in.
But it’s weird: you know when you swim in a really salty sea, you can see the salt crystals clinging to your skin while you dry? When you waddle out of the Dead Sea, the water clings like an oily film to your skin, which is not unpleasant.
I slathered on the black mud, kept company only by the lifeguard – smart tourists were staying off the chilly beach this morning, and that was fine with me. Until, to my mortification, a super-conservative Indian/US Muslim family came down to the water’s edge. It is a mark to the wife’s gregarious nature that we struck up a lovely conversation: she in her 18th-century bonnet and long skirts, me in nothing but a grubby bikini and slick of black mud.
I am still bewildered as to where the mud actually comes from. I didn’t see any pits but the local boys bring it up each morning to the public beaches and a few dollars will see you smearing yourself with thick, black primordial ooze. Yes, ok. I paid for it. And then I cruised the gift shops so I could pay for it again, but in nicer packaging than a large dirty bucket.
The most fashionable lable for Dead Sea cosmetics (face moisturisers, hair masks, eye gel, foot scrubs and yes, just straight bags of mud) is Rivage, a Jordanian-French enterprise with chic packaging and good marketing. There are plenty of B-grade labels, but really, how will packaging make me look 14 again, I ask?

Words from the Solstice hash weekend
I usually like to find a theme when I do my scribing, and the temptation was to choose something like ‘the weather’; then I could have written about That’s Crap’s hot and steamy outfit for Saturday’s red dress run, the sunshine smile of Low-t-arse, who, for once not held back by Barbarella flew round the hash and was practically a front runner, or maybe the warmth of Twisted Sister’s generous offer to lay the trail in the absence of one of the hares (of which more later).
Or else perhaps I could have crafted something around ‘class’; then Filth, Ging Gang and Miss Mouthfull would have got a mention for being too posh to slum it in a tent and went and stayed in a house instead, and spent the night drinking Prosecco and eating smoked salmon. Rabid, Hue, No Thatch, Damp Patch, Vindaloo and I don’t know who else who were also too posh to eat BBQ food and went to the pub instead. There was some excuse about trying to impress some visitors from France, but I don’t see how a portion of cheesy chips is any more gastronomically impressive than sausages that have been chargrilled out of existence. British food versus French; not exactly a level playing field is it…
And if level playing fields was a theme, it literally wasn’t one, the campsite was more like a ski slope, happily it was flattish at the upper and lower levels. The hash divided itself according to whether you wanted either to be connected to the mains or else avoid the bracing easterly winds blowing over the campsite (or both) in which case you were at the lower, and at the upper levels were basically the riff-raff and cheapskates – but we did get a bit of a view of the Kingsbridge estuary. The bit in-between was a large area of sloping field, on which neither tent nor van, not even one with massive ramps, could pitch and which became the childrens’ playing field, and I use the term ‘children’ loosely; smallness of stature was no indicator of childishness…
A ‘red’ theme would just be too obvious, and anyway some images from the red dress run are best erased from the memory, so the theme I have chosen for this weekend is… DRUGS. Yes, I’ve decided it’s all about the SH4 approach to life’s trials, tribulations, triumphs and thrills, all of which can be rolled into one hash camping weekend. Are you ready? Here we go…
Fallen Woman was very depressed at missing out on the pubs of Salcombe due to the lack of arrows pointing into them – I was quite surprised to discover that FW couldn’t find her way into a pub after all those years of practice, but administered anti-depressant therapy to her at the drinks stop which I think helped. She drank it down quite fast anyway.
Whisperer trialled Stella as a drug for relief of his back pain. Bee Flicker (whose wig I thought was just fabulous darling) knelt over his prostrate (even before he had downed his first bottle) form and kneaded his back to loosen it out, but Whispers decided the Stella was more effective and, utilising the ‘more is better’ principle, kept on taking it until he passed out.
At the drink stop Goolie and Pony Shafter, no doubt feeling the mellowing benefits of the previous four pub visits broke into song, mostly sea-shanties as far as I could tell, but which left several of us wincing somewhat. I administered more pain relief, mostly to myself.
Well, running is the obvious way to get some of these released into your system, but naturally there were hashers who chose other means: Overshot, inspired by daughter Eliza chose backwards roly-poly-ing down the field as his method, whilst Sniffer busied herself trying to ignore his childish antics. Sushi appears to get his endorphin rush from skimpy underwear – now I don’t know for sure who actually wears it in his relationship; Ah-So hotly denies it and I for one believe her but anyway it’s one of them and he looks very happy about it. It takes all sorts. Crackerjack declared it was the second worst day of his life, I know not why, but think he must have ingested some…
The kids – SURELY they were on something – how can such little people have so much energy?? They did a 7-mile run in the day, then another 8-10 miles in the evening racing around chasing each other. Their poor parents, no wonder they look exhausted all the time –that was me once, but long enough ago now that happily amnesia has set in. I don’t think there’s a drug for that and if there was, I wouldn’t take it anyway when it comes to recalling the child-rearing years, I prefer the more psychotropic ones where it’s either all a blur, or else some hazy fondness of halcyon pre-referendum days when there were flowers and smiley happy people everywhere and everything in the garden was lovely… Sorry, I drifted off there. Come 2nite might benefit from memory-enhancement medication though, having converted to vegetarianism recently, it appears faced with a pork pie that she completely forgot and tucked in before remembering. It’s the thought that counts, unless you’re a pig of course, or indeed a chicken, sheep or a cow and possibly a fish…
Eeeuw, this could get messy and I’m going to gloss over the details to save any parents having to explain to their curious children why Tyred Bunny wanted to borrow some butter when it wasn’t for a bun but instead to relieve his chafing. Least said, soonest mended, methinks.
Was greatly needed by those campers who braved the wintery chills of the Friday night; the families of Nice Buns and Rizzo amongst them who found the conditions less than clement for a mid-summer’s eve. Saturday night seemed to go better for them, and they seemed a good deal more cheerful come Sunday morning so we can assume that whatever it was they took, it worked.
X-ray contrast agents (‘x-ray dye’ for the non-radiographers, nurses, medics and possibly vets)
Well, I couldn’t finish writing these words without mentioning dear Know Nuts, whose gallant efforts to lay the trail were thwarted by his heart which decided to have a hissy fit before the weekend was even under way. Although he will be a walking medicine cabinet for a while, the drug I have chosen is the one which will reveal on angiogram which of his coronary arteries were all gummed up, but which by the time you read these Words will be suitably de-coked and raring to go again. Get well soon Know Nuts, and good luck to Nutcracker who will be on nursing duties at home as well as at work.
You will notice that with the exception of only one or two of the above, similar effects could have been achieved through the use of one simple cure-all that doesn’t even need a doctor’s prescription – ALCOHOL. And indeed, so it was that no-one actually TOOK any of the aforementioned drugs, but we all did take an awful lot of that one. Thanks for a grand weekend to organiser-in-chief Goolie, hares Nutcracker, Twisted Sister and Overshot and to willing helpers for setting up gazebo, fire-pit etc. On-on to the next one.

Everyone has some sort of knowledge regarding the cultural and fashionable significance surrounding fur coats. Before anything was even considered fashion and clothing were meant for protection and survival, fur was being made into garments for the people back then to keep warm and protected from the elements.
Fast-forwarding to the modern time, these types of garments are still being used for their originally intended purpose, but it has also transformed into a timeless piece of clothing that has much historical background with it. Real fur coats have been a timeless, classic, and elegant piece of fashion for as long as anyone can remember.
We see these garments today on the cover of magazines, on the fashion runways, and on the shoulders of our favorite models and celebrities. The reality surrounding fur coats was the same many years ago too when Old Hollywood actresses would wear luxuriously huge fur coats to show their wealth and social status.
Now, in today’s day and age, where Old Hollywood is a thing of the past, fur coats are still going strong. The types of furs there are to choose from with the number of new styles of coats are virtually endless. Now more than ever, there are more fur coat retailers out there for you to search around and find the fur coat of your dreams.
The best thing regarding fur coats isn’t the history or the warmth, (yet the warmth is a close second), which is how long they can last. With the proper upkeep and storage, you can buy one single fur coat and have the same one for the rest of your life. If you want, you can even think to pass it down to one of your younger relatives for the fur coat to live another for years to come.
So, if you’re in the market for your first fur coat or you want to add another coat to your collection, there are some things you need to consider first. One is what kind of fur you want and two, is what length of coat you want. These two factors are very important and can really influence how you search for this coat.
There are so many different types of fur and fur combinations you can choose from in a fur coat, so that might be your first priority. Think about what color you want the coat to be, white, black, red, brown, a funky dyed fur color, you name it, you can find it. Then think about how soft/warm you want the fur to be.
Some furs are softer than others and some furs are warmer than others. Once you’ve got that all down, now you can think about the overall length. Coats like this can come in all different sizes and lengths, from cropped jackets to full-length parkas. This all depends on what you may need to coat for.
If you live in a moderate climate where it gets a bit cold during the winter, you might want to opt for a normal-length coat. If you live in an icy tundra during the winter, you might want to go with a huge parka.
If you live some place where it’s super cold, the combination of a full-length coat and mink is the best option for you. Not only is mink extremely beautiful, it’s quite warm, and having it altogether as a full length mink coat would serve you well winter after winter.
Check out Maximilian to find the mink fur coat of your dreams that will last you a lifetime.

Furnishing your garden can often be just as exciting as furnishing the inside of the home. You get to choose the materials of your garden furnishings, from metal dining sets to hand-carved wooden benches that resemble an old oak log like the ones you can buy here. The biggest difference between the furniture in your living room and the seating set in the garden is the maintenance. You wouldn’t maintain the indoor furnishings in the same way you would those that are exposed constantly to the elements. It’s for that reason that you should be far more vigilant with your outdoor equipment than indoor. It’s a straightforward task, maintaining garden furniture, depending on the material you have chosen. You want to be able to enjoy the equipment for many years and this requires a certain level of elbow grease.
Seeing as wood is a natural product, it will produce natural oils. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make sure it keeps to its best possible condition and this will always come down to regular treatment and care. You should always use hot soapy water to keep wooden furniture clean, but you can also find wood finishing oil for sale at any number of garden centres and outdoor furniture shops. This will give it a waterproof, hardened finish that will protect the wooden surface for years to come. If you do this every year, the wood will age naturally slower and look fantastic.
Metal garden furniture is extremely popular with many people who are looking for something new for the summer ahead. It needs little attention as the metal withstands against most climate types, from the icy cold to the heat of the sun but it still needs a good clean regularly to maintain its look. Pressure washers can be used regularly and using a non-abrasive cloth will minimise scratches. Steel outdoor furniture should always be treated properly to prevent rust. Read more about rust and how it develops here. Missing the boat with rust isn’t the end of the world, as you can use steel wool to treat the area and cover it over in a paint that matches the rest of the furniture. Don’t let it get that far though, if you can help it!
Rattan garden furniture gives a garden a classic look. Synthetic in its material, rattan furniture is UV resistant and also resistant in harsh weathers – except tornados. Wash with soapy water whenever you need to and pay good attention to the metal framework. Rusted garden furniture isn’t attractive but you can care for it in the same way you do any metal garden furnishings.
Garden furniture can be a wonderful addition to an outside space. If you have anything made with fabrics, keep it stored in the shed or under large plastic coverings like these when not in use. Rain can cause mould within fabrics and heavy weather can ruin it. Don’t waste your money by allowing the furniture you choose to be ruined by the weather outside. Taking care of what you buy for your garden will mean it’ll stay looking great, summer after summer.
Lot's of love

Building your skills
Our new CPD scheme helps you keep track of your learning and development
In response to recent Member demand, we’re pleased to be launching our new continuing professional development (CPD) scheme as part of our ongoing commitment to skills.
This initiative will mean that individual Members will be awarded CPD ‘hours’ for training courses and other relevant events, such as seminars, webinars and in-house sessions.
To launch the scheme and get Members started, we’ve now updated our training course certificates to include these CPD hours.
This revised paperwork will now be issued for anyone attending a SELECT training course such as Emergency Lighting (course number 221), Safe Isolation (217) and In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment (207).
CPD hours can be made up of:
Reading relevant course materials, i.e. prior study
Completion of an online course
Attending a training course
Completion of assessments.
We will also be issuing a separate CPD certificate for any non-assessed courses or seminars that Members may undertake.
These could include things like our Emergency Lighting Seminar or if a Member company asks for an in-house Amendment 2 toolbox talk. As outlined on pages 22 & 23, they will also be issued to anyone who attends the SELECT Toolbox Talks themselves.
Members can either be sent their printed certificate or a PDF version can be emailed out to help you keep an electronic record of how many CPD hours have been logged.
We’re also looking at introducing an electronic system of our own that will keep a record of individual Members’ CPD hours.
What is CPD?
CPD is a combination of approaches, ideas and techniques that help manage learning and growth.
Employees practise CPD to become better at their job and contribute to the progression of the organisation they work for. How effective or fast that progression is depends greatly on how often employers encourage employees to learn and engage in CPD.
CPD can help your employees keep their skills and knowledge up to date and prepare them for greater responsibilities. It can also boost confidence, strengthen professional credibility and help them become more creative in tackling new challenges by:
Carrying out learning activities on a regular basis
Carrying out different kinds of learning activities
Carrying out activities that can improve your business and benefit customers.
What are the benefits of CPD?
By ensuring that learning and development is embedded in company culture, employers can play a key role in CPD. Encouraging staff to undertake regular CPD can in turn lead to many benefits for employers, including:
Ensuring high standards throughout your business
Contributing positively to your organisation’s growth and success
Enabling a culture of learning and promoting a healthy working relationship with employees
Boosting employee productivity and building a more efficient and motivated workforce
Improving employee retention as employees feel more valued and loyal
Enabling employers to embrace change and react to shifts within the industry.
Without CPD, employees can struggle to keep up with an ever-changing sector – particularly in something as advanced and fast-moving as the electrotechnical industry.
This is especially true if your business involves compliance, where regulations and official advice are constantly being added or updated. It is also a great way to keep employees engaged and passionate about their work. The benefits of CPD for employees include:
Keeps qualifications up to date, helping learners gain relevant skills on the job
Plugs any gaps in knowledge and enables employees to adapt to a fast-moving world
Helps to improve productivity at work and the ability to learn and improve
Enables employees to demonstrate ambition, aptitude and willingness to learn new skills
Keeps employees focused on a pathway to career progression, leading to job security and achieving success at work.
CPD is therefore beneficial and essential for both employers and employees and is instrumental in building a happy and knowledgeable workforce. Further down the line, it can also help enhance a business’s reputation among customers.
SQA Customised Awards
Our SCQF Credit Rated courses are slightly different, with delegates awarded credit points instead of CPD hours.
Two credits means that a programme is expected to take an average of about 20 hours and three credits about 30 hours. Again, this includes both classroom time and home-study time etc.
SQA [SELECT] Customised Award in Design and Verification of Electrical Installations to BS 7671 (208)
SQA [SELECT] Customised Award in Initial Verification of Electrical Installations to BS 7671 (209)
SQA [SELECT] Customised Award in Inspection and Testing of Electrical Installations to BS 7671 (including Periodic Inspection & Testing) (214)
SQA [SELECT] Customised Award in Requirements for Electrical Installations to BS 7671 (218)
SQA [SELECT] Customised Award in The Electrotechnical Site Safety Assessment
If you have any questions about CPD or other SELECT Training matters, please email [email protected] or call the team on 0131 445 5577.
To inquire about SELECT’s range of training courses, please call 0131 445 5577 or email [email protected]

This 1928 Louisiana General Store is Now a $700k+ House For Sale
I love history - and, boy does Louisiana have a lot of it! It seems like everywhere you turn in this state, there's another prime example of years gone by. It's really no surprise when you consider that 10 flags have flown over our great state, and the mixing of all of those cultures can be plainly seen in our people, food, and most especially our architecture.
One of the more notable examples of this history can be found in Thibodaux in the form of an old General Store. What makes this property unique is that it has not only been transformed into an incredible house, you could totally buy it! I hope you have good credit and one heck of a down payment, as this piece of Louisiana's past will set you back a cool $729,900!
If you just look at the details, you may not think that this store-turned-domicile is worth more than three quarters of a million dollars. It's listed on Realtor.com as a 4 bedroom, 3 bath house that clocks in at a modest (for the price)
What you are really paying for is the surreal feeling of traveling through time in an honest to goodness historical artifact! Let's take a look around, then maybe you'll get the inclination to give your bank a ring to start the paperwork on your new home/museum!

How big is a 14 inch pizza?
How many slices are in a 14 inch pizza?
How many people does a 14 inch pizza feed?
It’s all right here.
I have one goal and one goal only: Make sure you never run out of pizza again.
How Big Is a 14 Inch Pizza?
A 14 inch pizza is usually considered a large pizza, has 8 slices, and serves 3-4 adults.
How Many People Does a 14 Inch Pizza Feed?
A 14 inch pizza will feed 3-4 adults, depending on how hungry you all are (and how good the pizza is!).
Since a 14 inch pizza has 8 slices, that’s enough for each person to have 2-3 slices.
How Many Slices In a 14 Inch Pizza?
A 14 inch pizza will come in 8 slices.
How Many Calories In a 14 Inch Pizza?
The calories in a slice of pizza varies dramatically depending on the toppings and exact size of each slice. The total number of calories in a 14 inch pizza is roughly 2,155, assuming you get a pepperoni pizza. This comes out to about 270 calories per slice.
What Size Is a 14 Inch Pizza?
A 14 inch pizza is usually considered a large pizza.
You can use the chart below if you want to compare it to other common sizes.
How Big Is a 14 Inch Pizza (Total Area)?
Given the diameter of 14 inches, the total size of a 14 inch pizza is 154 square inches, or 19.25 square inches per slice.
You can calculate the total area of any pizza by multiplying π x radius².
If you don’t feel like doing math, just use my chart below to compare a 14 inch pizza to the other most popular pizza sizes.
14 Inch Pizza Size Comparison
If you’re trying to decide whether or not a 10 inch pizza is big enough, here’s a chart you can use:
|79 square inches
|113 square inches
|154 square inches
|201 square inches
|254 square inches
Remember, even a slight increase in diameter amounts to a big difference in the total amount of pizza you’ll get.
For instance, in terms of area, a 14 inch pizza is about 154 square inches – almost 2x the size of a small (10 inch) pizza!
14 Inch Pizza Size Comparisons
Now that we know how big is 14 inch pizza, let’s take a closer look at how it compares to other popular pizza sizes.
10 Inch Pizza vs 14 Inch Pizza: A 10 inch pizza seems like it would only be slightly smaller than a 14 inch pizza, but it is 49% smaller than a 14 inch pizza! A 10 inch pizza has 4 fewer slices than a 14 inch pizza.
12 Inch Pizza vs 14 Inch Pizza: A 12 inch pizza is a medium pizza and serves 2-3 adults, whereas a 14 inch pizza is a large that serves 3-4 adults.
14 Inch Pizza vs 16 Inch Pizza: A 16 inch pizza serves 3-5 adults and is about 33% bigger than a 14 inch pizza. It also has 25% more slices than a 14 inch pizza.
14 Inch Pizza vs 18 Inch Pizza: An extra large 18 inch pizza is about 40% larger than a 14 inch pizza. It serves 4-6 adults and has 12 slices, 50% more than a 14 inch pizza.

As a series dating back to the 1980s, you normally expect a new Street Fighter game to play it safe. Sure, every generation or two there might be a visual shift, but Street Fighter is Street Fighter, it began as a 1v1 fighting tournament and shall forever be one. Until, that is, Street Fighter 6 came along.
I’ll note before we go any further that I’m nor a serious fan of this series. I played the shit out of the second, I admired the third’s graphics from afar and have had little to do with it since, since I’m both terrible at fighting games and not really that interested in them.
But I am very interested in Street Fighter 6, because it’s fancy new ‘World Tour’ mode looks like everything you could ever dream of when a developer decides its time to shake things up. While we’ve known the vague outline of what this new game mode would entail for a while, a new showcase released today goes into huge detail about what we can expect.
It’s basically an open world RPG mode. For, you know, Street Fighter. Don’t believe me? Look at this screenshot, which is for an upcoming game in the Street Fighter series:
Incredible. You can also customise your appearance, which I think we already knew, but what I love about it here is that it’s not just cosmetic; because this is an RPG mode your choice of sneakers or boots will have an impact on your, uh, kick strength and, um, vitality:
Also incredible is the fact you get to fight a fridge, which I know I spoiled in the headline and top image, but I’m going to post the same gif here again because I like it so much:
I cannot stress how good this all is. I love this as much as I loved Yakuza’s pivot to turn-based combat, which while not proving a universal success, was at least a brave and fascinating attempt to breathe new life into a long-running series. Developers in charge of historic game franchises, please take note: it is greatly appreciated every time you try something new.

An irrevocable life insurance trust (ILIT) is a trust created to hold life insurance policies, designed to protect the policy’s death benefit from estate taxes. An ILIT is a common tool used by estate planners to help clients avoid estate taxes and pass on wealth to their heirs.
Federal Estate Tax Parameters
When a person dies, their estate may be subject to federal estate taxes if the total value of their assets exceeds a certain threshold, currently set at $12.92 million. Life insurance death benefits can be included in the calculation of estate taxes, which can be a significant burden on the heirs who receive the policy proceeds.
How an ILIT Works
By creating an ILIT, the policy owner transfers ownership of the policy to the trust, effectively removing it from their estate for tax purposes. The trust becomes the policy owner and beneficiary, and the policy’s death benefit is paid directly to the trust upon the insured’s death. The trust then distributes the proceeds to the trust beneficiaries according to the terms of the trust.
An ILIT can also be used to provide liquidity to an estate. If significant assets are tied up in illiquid commodities such as real estate or a business, the estate may not have enough liquid assets to pay the estate taxes owed. An ILIT can provide the necessary cash to pay estate taxes without having to sell off assets or take out loans.
In addition to providing tax benefits, an ILIT can also offer creditor protection. Since the trust owns the policy, the policy’s death benefit is not subject to the claims of the policy owner’s creditors. If the policy owner is sued or declares bankruptcy, the ILIT can provide a layer of protection for the policy proceeds.
Creating an ILIT
Creating an ILIT involves several steps. The first step is to establish the trust and transfer ownership of the life insurance policy to the trust. Secondly, the trust should have a named trustee, who is responsible for managing the trust assets and distributing the trust income and principal to the beneficiaries. It should also have a named beneficiary, who will receive the policy proceeds upon the insured’s death.
The trust must also be irrevocable, which means that the policy owner cannot change the terms of the trust or access the trust assets once the trust is created. This is an important aspect of an ILIT, as it ensures that the policy proceeds are not included in the policy owner’s estate for tax purposes.
Once the trust is established, the policy owner must make annual gifts to the trust to pay the policy premiums. These gifts can be given in a tax-free manner through the utilization of the annual gift tax exclusion, which is currently set at $17,000 per gift recipient per year. The policy owner may also make larger gifts to the trust to help fund the policy, but these gifts may be subject to gift taxes.
An ILIT can be a powerful estate planning tool for individuals who want to pass on wealth to their heirs while minimizing estate taxes. However, it is important to work with an experienced estate planning attorney to ensure that the ILIT is set up correctly and that the policy owner understands the implications of transferring ownership of the policy to the trust.

Financial stress declined by 3.2 points for the American consumer month-over-month, according to LegalShield's Consumer Stress Legal Index. However, the data also revealed rising bankruptcy inquiries, potentially signaling difficulty for the economy going forward. Matt Layton, LegalShield SVP of Consumer Analytics, joins Yahoo Finance to discuss consumer confidence and what may lie ahead for the broader markets. When asked about the near-term economic outlook, Layton says: "Our flagship indexes, composed of three individual indices that looks at bankruptcies, consumer finance, and foreclosures. I think the story here is that bankruptcy data. The bankruptcy index increased for the fifth conservative month in a row, and right now it's at its highest level since March of 2020. What's extremely interesting about this is our LegalShield bankruptcy index, actually leads the bankruptcy filings reported by the US Court system by up to two-quarters of six months. So we fully believe the increases we're seeing today are going to be sustained for at least the next six months."

A Michigan man who pleaded guilty in his disabled brother's starvation death was sentenced Monday to a minimum of 30 years in prison by a judge who said the defendant is “one step away from becoming a psychopath.” Paul Ferguson, 21, pleaded guilty in December to first-degree child abuse in the death of 15-year-old Timothy Ferguson. Timothy Ferguson, who had autism and was speech- and motor-impaired, weighed only 69 pounds (31.3 kilograms) when he died in July 2022 at the family’s western Michigan home in Norton Shores, authorities said.
Bye-bye, birdie: Maine’s state warbler, the chickadee, is making way for other images on a new license plate that gives homage to an old flag growing in popularity and reappearing on hats, tote bags and T-shirts.

Maine residents will vote in November on whether to adopt a similar design for a new state flag.

Hello. I’ve recently started using Pulumi and love it so far. Is it meant to purely set up infrastrucutre, or is it also meant to be used for setting up the environment?
06/23/2022, 10:44 PM
I’m not sure what you mean by “setting up the environment,” but there are providers for things like Kubernetes if you need to deploy services/applications into a cluster (one example). Is that what you mean?
06/23/2022, 11:18 PM
I mean things like installing packages, coming repos, setting environment variables and the like. Is pulumi meant to be used for that? Or should I just use Docker?
06/24/2022, 1:02 AM
You can use Pulumi to build your Docker images.
Pulumi can install software via the Command provider, but there are other tools that offer features specially to make that sort of job easier (package managers, Ansible, and more).
And a Pulumi app can run those, too!

We have all battled with them - that drive behind getting in the car after having a full meal to go get something you can't stop thinking about. The overwhelming feeling that you NEED to eat something.
Yes, I'm talking CRAVINGS!
Let's start with some Myth-busting!!
❌ I just need more willpower to beat these cravings.
❌ More restrictions in my diet would keep me from having any cravings
❌ I have no control over my cravings, my body is telling me what is wants.
Cravings are normal to have but we have definitely normalized them in to a degree where we let them control us — using them as a crutch or excuse for health/weight/circumstances etc.
Dopamine (a pleasure hormone) is what often drives us to take action! Cravings are driven by dopamine, that sense of satisfaction and enjoyment that comes with eating a certain food. This is what keeps us motivated and fixated on that something.
Hunger Hijackers are to blame
The majority of the Standard American Diet is consistent of ultra-processed foods, high in carbs, and lacking a lot of nutrition and nourishment. THIS is why cravings have become so prevalent today.
According to Dr. Amy Shah, a double board certified MD and nutritionist, she calls these foods Hunger Hijackers. Foods such as doristos, chocolate covered pretzels, coke/pepski, and other fast food options are factory-constructed combinations of salt, sugar, and fat. These are specifically created with flavors that create a "dopamine explosion" for your body. These foods create a bliss point way beyond any whole food naturally can which is why we are driven to them at such high rates... aka higher levels and strong cravings!
Triggers within the body that can lead to cravings consist of:
Lack of Sleep
Gut bacteria imbalance
Not enough protein/fat/fiber
Blood Sugar Rollercoaster
Taking back control
So instead of throwing up your hands and saying "well if my body is craving it, I have no control", let's do something about it!
1. Support your Gut Health
Avoid overusing antibiotics / sanitizer all the time. These kill all bacteria, including the good ones. This is not me saying to never take medicine. There is definitely a place and role for modern medicine. But if you can find a natural/holistic way to support your body that can so beneficial for your overall health. Also, feeding nourishing foods to the gut - this can change your cravings. The gut is the second brain of the body, and has the power to directly influence the foods you crave. So by eating foods that feed the good bacteria, you crave more of the good for you food.
Foods packed with fiber feed your gut such as fruits, veggies, whole grains, fermented foods (yogurt/acv/kefir/kombucha) etc. Probiotics and prebiotics are great to add in here too.
2. Sleep at least 7 hours
When your sleep is disrupted, your hunger hormones are impacted (ghrelin goes up, and leptin goes down) causing you to be hungrier and less satisfied. The foods you reach for are often to give you that quick hit of energy (and maybe a dopamine hit in there too) and are often those processed carbs, snacky options, that are easy to reach. Try getting at least 7 hours of sleep so you feel rested and have more balanced hunger hormones throughout the day!
3. Eat Protein/Fat/fiber at breakfast
High protein foods can be a source of dopamine hits as well (not as high as the manufactured ones but still!) Think foods like egg scrambled, quality dairy/cottage cheese, nuts, and seeds to start off your day. This will also keep your blood sugar balanced supporting those hunger hormones and satiety!
4. Stay Hydrated
Your body has many ways to tell you what it needs, and will keep trying until you listen. Hydration can come off the form of hunger cravings since we can get water from some food sources. Staying hydrated and drinking enough water as well as electrolytes can support keeping those cravings at bay. Tip: If you recently finished a meal but still find yourself craving something, try having a glass of water first and waiting 10 minutes. It might have been a way your body was saying it needed some hydration.
5. Ditch the Diet Mentality
Telling yourself you can't/shouldn't/arent allowed certain foods just turns up the volume on your cravings and your mindset. Think about a child, when you say they can't have something... they just want it more!

This accidentally posted early so if you’ve subscribed but are now reading on the blog, you’ll notice there are a few revisions and the links are live, yay!
I’ve been looking for an excuse to wear this scarf and this weekend it finally happened: I washed my hair (with honey, don’t worry) right before church and wanted to disguise the not-properly-dried, not-yet-renourished-with-luscious-sebum look. I spent a fair amount of time scrolling through Dinatokio‘s hijab-chic IG account last week and spotted a Lebanese woman rocking a similar look at the zoo on Saturday, so I thought I’d try my hand at a similar hair-hiding style. Though obviously my motives derived much more out of vanity than modesty.
Bonus: my new cranberry/burgundy/oxblood pants got to play along!
I folded the scarf in half like a triangle, then folded it in a narrow strip but left the tail (the triangle of fabric on top) out so it wouldn’t cover the part of the pattern I wanted to show off. I tied it around my head like a giant headband, then looped the ends around my bun and tied them in a little knot, the made sure the triangle up top was tucked securely into the main band so I didn’t look like a milk maid:
Parting your hair on the side, then pulling a bit of the longer side out gives your ‘do a little oomph:
Yes most everything is still green here.
Top: Meadow Rue, thrifted
Pants: Style & Co., thrifted
Flats: Trotters passed on from my mother-in-law and repainted
Scarf: no tag, thrifted
I rarely do head scarves or hair wraps so this initially took a little convincing myself that it didn’t look weird in the mirror, but I ended up loving it.
What do y’all think? Do you wear scarf-like things on your head or usually sport them elsewhere? Scroll down to comment!
PS you can see some more of the scarf’s pattern here.

Land of Lands and Volcanoes
Nicaragua is a small country located in the heart of Central America with a population of 5.7 million people. It is called the "land of lakes and volcanoes." The eleven volcanoes and several large lakes provide an abundance of natural beauty. The Nicaraguan people are warm and caring despite the fact that they have suffered much throughout the years.
Managua is the country´s capital, with a population of just over 1.5 million. Beautiful beaches along the Pacific coast are an hour´s drive from Managua. Northern Nicaragua is mountainous and contains the largest intact rain forest in Central America. The Atlantic coast, accessible only by air, is home to several ethnic and indigenous groups.
The climate is hot and tropical. There are only two seasons: rainy and dry. During the rainy season (May to November), it rains most afternoons for short periods. This is the prettiest and coolest part of the year. The temperature can range from 80-95 degrees. In the dry season, temperatures soar. March and April are the hottest months with temperatures over 100 degrees.
Statistically, Nicaragua is considered the poorest Spanish-speaking country in the world (second overall to Haiti in our hemisphere). Yet even the statistics do not reveal the depth of pain and suffering that the people of Nicaragua have experienced over the last several decades.
In 1972, an earthquake destroyed 90% of the downtown Managua area, killing hundreds of people and leaving thousands homeless. As the country attempted to recover, opposition arose to the harsh Somozan dictatorship. The people overthrew Somoza through a popular revolution in 1979. The Sandinista party, under Daniel Ortega, monopolized power and led the country toward a socialistic economic and political system. Several opposition groups went into exile and began a fierce civil war. The United States backed one group commonly called the contras and later imposed a complete economic embargo on Nicaragua. The Sandinistas held elections in 1990 and were defeated by a coalition party led by Violeta Chamorro. The 1996 election provided the first case in the history of the country where one democratically elected president took over from another; since then, Nicaragua has had peaceful transitions of power, but Nicaragua is still very politically divided.
In 1998, Nicaragua experienced Hurricane Mitch, which took many lives and destroyed thousands of homes and acres of land. Hurricane Felix hit in 2007 and caused more widespread damage. It will take time and a lot of effort, but all of this suffering has created a nation of people starving for the answers that only those who are "called according to His purposes" can give them. In the midst of the war, tragedy and poverty, God´s people continue to proclaim the Good News. Each year there are signs of hope, reconstruction and reconciliation. It is an exciting time to be in Nicaragua and there is openness to the Gospel message.

In the realm of medісаɩ wonders and heartening narratives, one exceptional story ѕtапdѕ oᴜt as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the advancements of modern medicine. The inspiring account of twins defуіпɡ all oddѕ at just 20 weeks of age serves as a гemіпdeг of the рoweг of hope, perseverance, and the extгаoгdіпагу efforts made by the medісаɩ community.
The journey begins with Sarah and David, a couple who had ѕtгᴜɡɡɩed for years to conceive. Their раtһ to parenthood was marked by пᴜmeгoᴜѕ highs and lows, filled with moments of hope and deѕраіг. Enduring several miscarriages and fertility treatments, each experience left them emotionally deⱱаѕtаted.
Then, one fateful day, they discovered they were expecting twins. The exсіtemeпt and joy were unparalleled, but as the weeks went by, their happiness was tinged with anxiety as they learned that Sarah’s pregnancy was considered high-гіѕk. The twins were monoamniotic-monochorionic, sharing the same amniotic sac and placenta, a condition occurring in approximately 1% of all twin pregnancies. This іпсгeаѕed the гіѕk of complications and made their journey even more ргeсагіoᴜѕ.
At just 20 weeks into the pregnancy, the couple fасed a life-altering moment. Sarah went into preterm labor, and their tiny babies were at the threshold of viability. The medісаɩ team, led by the dedicated Dr. Emily Anderson, was fасed with a сһаɩɩeпɡіпɡ deсіѕіoп. The babies were barely the size of a human hand, and their сһапсeѕ of survival were incredibly slim. However, Sarah and David were determined to give their children every fіɡһtіпɡ chance, and Dr. Anderson and her team resolved to do everything in their рoweг to support them.
The babies were born prematurely at a mere 20 weeks, weighing less than a pound each. They were immediately whisked away to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and placed on ventilators to аѕѕіѕt their underdeveloped lungs. The oddѕ were stacked аɡаіпѕt them, and the road аһeаd was fraught with ᴜпсeгtаіпtу.
In the ensuing months, the babies, named ɡгасe and Gabriel by their parents, encountered пᴜmeгoᴜѕ сһаɩɩeпɡeѕ. They confronted infections, respiratory distress, and other complications ɩіпked to extгeme prematurity. Their parents remained steadfast at their sides, offering love and encouragement in the fасe of adversity. The couple’s unshakable faith in their children’s resilience served as inspiration for the entire medісаɩ team.
Days transformed into weeks, and weeks into months. The twins’ NICU journey witnessed both small victories and ѕetЬасkѕ, yet they continued to surpass expectations. It proved to be a prolonged and emotional гoɩɩeгсoаѕteг for their parents and the medісаɩ staff. Every milestone, from the first time the babies opened their eyes to the moment they could breathe independently, was celebrated with heartfelt joy.
After spending five months in the NICU, ɡгасe and Gabriel became ѕtгoпɡ enough to be discharged from the һoѕріtаɩ. It marked a triumphant moment for Sarah and David, who had overcome іпсгedіЬɩe сһаɩɩeпɡeѕ to bring their babies into the world. The twins not only ѕᴜгⱱіⱱed but thrived, showcasing that the human spirit, сomЬіпed with exceptional medісаɩ care, can conquer even the most daunting of circumstances.
Today, ɡгасe and Gabriel are thriving toddlers, bringing immense joy to their parents and all who have followed their remarkable journey. Their story is a testament to the unwavering determination of a family and the dedication of a medісаɩ team committed to turning the impossible into reality.
“An Unforgettable mігасɩe Story: Twin Babies Survive аɡаіпѕt All oddѕ at 20 Weeks” serves as a гemіпdeг that, even in the fасe of іпсгedіЬɩe adversity, hope and love can prevail, and the boundaries of possibility can be рᴜѕһed further than we ever imagined.

IS there a better number 9 in Super League?
When James Roby committed the rest of his playing career to Saints he continued the legacy he began in 2004.
The Blackbrook amateur made his debut against Widnes that season and has since gone on to made 280 appearances, adding 73 tries and a goal.
32 rep hons followed, not to mention a whole heap of awards including the Man of Steel title in 2007.
Not bad for one of the most humble characters in the British game to date – and one of the most important.
It’s no coincidence that when England and Saints play well, Robes is at the hub.
2014 will be massive for Roby and Saints as they build a side more than equipped with bringing silverware back to the club.
And the spine of Lomax, Walsh and James will be key to that success.
“I was very happy to sign my deal,” he said. “I’m happy here, my family are settled and I suppose deep down I knew I was never going to leave.
“It should be a great year going forward and there’s a buzz around the town.
“We have fantastic players coming in, the young players are maturing, and everything seems to be going in the right direction.”

After a year or more of being frustrated with the sport of horse racing, I am back and decided to renew this thederbyhandicaper.com site.
My reasoning is simple, I like some of the safety stuff I have seen lately. I think the sport of horse racing is pointed in the right direction. But I will admit, it has a long way to go. I love horses and horse racing.
Another factor, writing about multiple sports like I did on my coxsportsnet.com website, you are sort of small fish in a big pond. I did get great views on some articles that I posted but from my experience and writing ability, I could write a similar article on horse racing and get ten times the views for most articles.
It helps when your area (mine in Missouri, see above picture), was once referred to as “nothing but a horse town.” Hence the above picture. My hometown has so many streets named after horses and horse racing.
I’m back! Doing what I love and what I am best at and most appreciated for. My next blog will be a preview of the Pegasus World Cup.

When we are emotionally stressed or have strong expressions on the face, sympathetic activity increases and promotes the secretion of sweat glands, which increases the skin's electrical conductivity.
Grove - GSR sensor or eda sensor allows you to spot such strong emotions by simply attaching two electrodes to two fingers on one hand. It is an interesting gear to create emotion-related projects like sleep quality monitors. In some galvanic skin response devices such as lie detectors, this scientific principle is also applied.
- Adjustable sensitivity: Adjust the sensitivity via a potentiometer
- Easy to read: Analog voltage output
- Programmable configuration: Versatile for various applications
- Low power consumption: 3.3/5V Supply, suitable for many microcontrollers and SBCs
In the experiment, we inserted our fingers into the two electrode fingertips of the sensor and connected a Buzzer to the digital output of the seeeduino.
During the test, the value detected by the sensor will continue to change within a certain range. When the tester takes a deep breath, the range of the fluctuation will suddenly increase and exceed the threshold we set, and then the buzzer will be triggered.
Note: This device is not a medical device.

A major milestone for Australian company Neuren Pharmaceuticals (ASX:NEU) with its US partner Acadia submitting trofinetide to the FDA for the treatment of Rett syndrome.
The submission is a step in a commercialisation process that could ultimately deliver milestone payments of over half a billion dollars.
Rett syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that impacts brain development and primarily affects females. It causes a progressive loss of motor skills and language. There are currently no approved treatments for the disorder.
Neuren retains all rights to trofinetide outside the US and says it is in discussions regarding additional commercial partnerships.
Late last year, the company announced positive results from a phase 3 trial of trofinetide in adult and paediatric patients with Rett Syndrome.
Neuren said that approval in the US would generate revenue in excess of $100 million during 2022 and 2023, including a combination of payments related to milestones and royalties.

Mantras and Mandalas – Two Tonics for All Times
Mantras and Mandalas have been around forever and what’s more, they are are both tried, tested and sort of almost conclusively scientifically proven to do good things for our gorgeous selves.
Wanna find out more? Better still…wanna experience for it for yourself?
Well here’s your chance….on the evening of Wednesday 23rd February my friend Caroline and I will be hosting an “Introduction to Mantras and Mandalas” and offering you a few explanations and a few possible experiences.
We’ll be talking about mantra, explaining why it works, a bit about its origins and offering you the chance to experience its feel good effects for yourself (as part of a group session of course).
Most people know what a mantra is or at least they think they do. However what they may not realise is that the mantra is a like a personal power tool. Using the power of sound and positive intention, the mantra creates an energy wave pattern that when used repeatedly can bring about profound change and offer endless positive possibilities within our own electromagnetic energy field.
And we’ll be doing the same with mandalas too. Creating (or simply colouring in) a mandala is a very interesting experience that connects you easily with deeper parts of your unconscious.
What is a mandala is of course a common question and one answer is ““ A Mandala is a sacred circle, a symbol of wholeness, containing the essence of life in all its forms. With its origins in ancient India, this divine symbol crosses cultures throughout time. It is linked to sacred geometry, psychology & healing. It finds expression in arts, architecture & everyday objects”
So, you might now be wondering “how on Earth are they going to cover the magnificence of the mantra and the mandala in one small evening” . We dunno for sure is the answer to that one, but we do have a plan and we think it’s a good one.
You can find out more info and book your tickets here – you can even buy one for a friend too if you like 🙂 We look forward to seeing you on the 23rd February
This is an introductory evening to mantras and mandalas and we will be offering longer workshop on both the mantras and mandalas in the soon enough future.
Lots of love

Solo Leveling episode 4 recap
In the previous episode, Sung resumes his clash with the steel-fanged Lycan in the instance dungeon. Sung becomes concerned for his survival as the two trade blows and he pulls a magic sword from his inventory to take the Lycan down.
Two more Lycans appear and Sung struggles against them. He figures out that his level and stats increase as he experiences real combat. He receives a steel fang for defeating the Lycans, and he figures out that this dungeon differs from the normal gates. He finds that his players' system has a store that he can access as he levels up. He sells the Lycan fang and receives gold.
He then tries to put together the mystery of the instance dungeon and its rules. He advances forward as a group of Lycans appear one after another. Sung levels up after he defeats each monster, and he earns the title of Wolf Assassin on his log screen.
His sword has worn down after taking down all the Lycans, and Sung receives several items and a teleportation stone as a reward.
While Sung was in the instance dungeon, Joohee receives a call from the Hunter association informing her that her healing abilities are coveted for an upcoming mission. A dungeon break has occurred nearby and Joohee accepts the mission as hunters are in dire need of healers.
Sung advances in the instance dungeon and defeat more beasts as he notes that the color of monster titles indicate their level of difficulty. Sung travels deeper into the dungeon and encounters the boss, and his sword is broken at the beginning of the fight. The title of the beast is highlighted in orange, and it is a snake named Kasaka. Sung battles the dungeon boss and discovers the creature has impenetrable skin. Sung reflects on his weaknesses and life as he declares his determination to become stronger as he squeezes Kasaka. He can take Kasaka down, and his log screen informs him that he has leveled up. He receives a dagger made from the snake fangs and venom gland.
Sung returns to Earth and discovers that a dungeon break has occurred and that the boss is currently attacking a group of hunters. Sung examines the battle with his newly acquired perception abilities, and he also notices Joohee is still struggling from the God statue incident. Sung then hurls his broken sword toward the boss to shatter its defense. The hunter party can finish the monster. Sung is shocked to see how much his strength has increased, and Joohee spots him at the end of the episode.

Video: 8-bit Abraham Loncoln – Vampire Hunter
Dat Freddie Wong en zijn crew creatief zijn bewijzen ze al jaren op het internet. Naar aanleiding van de film Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter hebben ze iets nieuws gemaakt. Als de film namelijk een 8-bit beat'm up zou krijgen zou het er ongeveer als dit uitzien.

As the home lift has become more of an interior design feature, the way in which you can adapt it for your own space has changed. Now, you can create a domestic lift that works for your home, whether you are retrofitting it into an existing building or working with an architect to create a design from scratch. Exceptional technology, smart foresight and collaboration with visionary Scandinavian artists and designers allow Gartec customers to design your own home lift – a high functioning piece of home tech, more like an individual work of art.
Construction and lift size
The new HomeLift from Gartec can be constructed to your precise specifications on every aspect of the build. Choose the number of floors over which the lift will run, as well as key construction aspects, such as whether the lift will have a ceiling and a back covering. The HomeLift range offers a choice of five lift sizes, from the smallest at 600 x 830 mm, to a mid range size at 1100 x 830 mm and the largest – 1100 x 1400 mm.
A domestic lift used to be purely about functionality and numerous compromises were required when it came to aesthetic appeal. This is simply no longer the case as the HomeLift offers the opportunity to create a property feature that is a true asset to any design scheme. Design your own home lift by choose the type and size of glass that you opt for in the lift – or even whether you have any glass panels at all – and select from a range of different colours for the walls and doors of the lift, from a classic white or an elegant anthracite grey, through to a thoroughly contemporary moss green or jet black.
Almost every aspect of the HomeLift can be tailored to produce a unique style feature, including the lit flooring and the Design Wall inside the lift. There are straightforward and classic styles or you can opt for something unusual, such as a city skyline. Even the light in the lift can be personalised to be set at any colour of the rainbow (this can also be changed at any time) and you can fine tune the details on each floor that the lift is passing through as part of the HomeLift design process.
If you’re looking for a domestic lift, individually tailored to your interiors, then the HomeLift has arrived.

Call for TSB to open Grangemouth pop-up bank service after branch closure
and live on Freeview channel 276
This week, TSB confirmed such a facility would be opening at Bo’ness Library to help customers with their banking needs – but no plans are in place to do likewise in nearby Grangemouth, which lost its TSB branch in January.
Since announcing it was closing 164 branches in 2020, including the TSB in La Porte Precinct, Linlithgow and East Falkirk MP Martyn Day has been engaging with the company in an effort to mitigate the impact on residents and businesses.
Mr Day welcomed an April announcement that confirmed two of 43 TSB pop-ups will operate within his constituency – at Bo’ness Library and the Reconnect Regal Theatre in Bathgate, West Lothian.
However, the fact customers, particularly the elderly, have had to travel to Falkirk or Livingston for any face-to-face banking services since then has been a cause for concern for the politician.
He said: “A face-to-face banking service in the local community is essential for my constituents – especially when many are already feeling isolated and find their Post Office card accounts facing closure.
“Now, more than ever, local banks are needed to alleviate social isolation and provide the footfall on high streets that neighbouring businesses rely on.
“While I welcome the compromise that has been made in Bo’ness and Bathgate, I am disappointed that no such concession has been given to Grangemouth. I will continue my efforts to rectify this omission.”
A TSB spokesman said: “Our pop-up services have been designed to support customers in communities where it takes longer than 20 minutes to get to the nearest branch.
“The services in Bo’ness and Bathgate are both 15 minutes from their nearest branch. We fully accept there is a delicate balance to strike between supporting customers who continue to value face-to-face service and others who will only ever use digital.
“We believe we have got this balance right in the services we are delivering through these pop-ups and our branches in Falkirk and Livingston.”

In this article, we will explore the significance of art and craft in early childhood and how they contribute to the holistic development of children. Read till the end to learn the amazing benefits that art and craft provides for your child.
The Cognitive Benefits of Art and Craft for Children
Enhancing problem-solving skills
Art and craft activities are not all that easy. When drawing human figures, children need to draw different postures and along with that it gets a bit complicated. Children need to decide ratios, dimensions and different angles to make the drawing look realistic. We all know we cannot use a straight line to draw moving hands, bent knees, sitting positions, etc.
When they draw a bird flying in the sky, they draw the feathers spread across and when the same bird is resting on a branch the feathers are tightly tucked up to its body.
Adding and mixing colours is also the same. Children mix colours and make different shades and draw shadows, making their own colours.
Examples of projects that encourage children to find creative solutions
- Making paper planes -getting all the dimensions correct so that the planes can soar in the air for quite a while without dropping down.
- Making yarn tassels- Tie yarn around a book, so that it’s easier to cut yarn pieces of the same length.
- Using objects like bottle lids, spoons and match boxes to draw shapes of the same dimension.
- When many quantities of the same shape are needed, just fold the paper as many times as needed (provided it’s not too thick to cut using scissors) and draw the shape. They can cut many in one go.
Developing fine motor skills
Activities like drawing, cutting, and painting help improve hand-eye coordination and dexterity.
We use small muscles in our hands and control them as we manoeuvre objects like pencils, brushes, scissors, and so on. Cite studies or research supporting the connection between art and fine motor skill development
Art and craft activities that promote fine motor skills
- Making friendship bands
- Finger painting
- Painting using brushes
- Making paper planes
- Mud painting
- Sponge stamping
- Making yarn pompoms
Promoting cognitive flexibility
Art and craft enables children to explore various perspectives and think outside the box. As they start creating something, they may not do it according to the given instructions or manual. Children will do things their own way and find solutions to problems their own way.
When it comes to art, the sky is the limit of their imagination. There is no colour for the sky, elephant, or clouds.
Children give life to their imaginations through art and craft. They make aeroplanes with no wings, volcanoes with green lava and cars that can ride in water.
They get the opportunity to think beyond what they usually see in everyday life and present their imagination through art and craft,
Basically, art and craft encourages this divergent thinking and nurture their creativity.
Importance of encouraging imagination and divergent thinking
- Children become creative thinkers.
- Encourage innovation.
- Promote problem-solving.
- improves self-confidence
Emotional and Social Growth Through Art and Craft
Self-expression and emotional regulation
Engaging in artistic activities allows children to express their feelings and emotions in so many ways.
Through drawing and painting children can express what makes them happy, what bothers them or what they aspire to. In fact, art can be a means of defining childhood trauma through therapists.
It is also a means of managing stress and anxiety. It’s not just adults; children also get stressed with over-stimulation, changes to routine, changes in family and home etc
Art and craft will have a therapeutic effect on children in these instances.
Building self-confidence and self-esteem
Completing an art and craft project and showing it to teachers or family gives children pure joy and satisfaction.
Here, positive feedback and encouragement from adults can nurture confidence in them.
Rather than saying “It’s nice” or “Good job” try to give more specific feedback paying attention to both the result and the process.
- I see you have mixed different colours to make different shades. I love it.
- I like the colours you have used to show autumn shades.
- How did you come up with such a brilliant idea?
Fostering social interaction and collaboration
Group art activities encourage teamwork, communication, and sharing which will lay a good foundation for their social skills. To promote holistic development or in other words building a total personality, social skills are also extremely important.
Positive social interaction includes appreciating each other’s artistic effort, sharing ideas and materials, discussing craft work and processes, helping each other, and so on.
This can be an extremely important learning experience for all the children.
Enhancing Communication and Language Skills
Storytelling through art
Children love to narrate their artwork to their peers and adults. That way, they come up with new words and phrases to voice their thoughts, imaginations and process of work,
It refines their verbal skills as well as their interpersonal relationships.
They may use their craftmanship to create their own story. They may make a dinosaur park with volcanoes and narrate their story to you.
While strengthening language skills, this can improve a child’s creativity and narrative skills.
Vocabulary expansion and descriptive language
Art and craft exposes children to new words, colours, shapes, and textures. They need to use a wide variety of descriptive words to explain or discuss them with others.
It improves the scope of their language skills.
- This bird is green. Its beak is pointy and sharp.
- The grass here is dry and yellow.
- This house has four square windows.
In this article, we talked about the importance of art and craft activities in early childhood.
Here we see how art and craft activities bring about a whole personality in a child, fostering cognitive, fine motor, social and emotional skills in a child.
If you are looking for ways to foster the holistic development of your child, art and craft activities are an ideal way to encourage it.

The public hanging of three witches in Chelmsford in 1589. 80% of those who died during the witch panic which began mid 14th century and peaked between 1580 and 1630, were women and the majority of them were old and poor.
It’s Hallowe’en soon and witches will be abroad. There may be covens of witches in Brighton and Hove preparing to celebrate the ancient magic of witchcraft at this very moment. Who knows? Perhaps the people living next door to you are followers of Wiccan. The neighbours of Doreen Valiente, who had a flat at 6 Tyson Place, Grosvenor Street, Brighton, certainly lived next to a witch, indeed, some called her ‘Queen of the Witches’.
Doreen was initiated into the Wiccan religion and became high priestess of a coven in north London in 1953, just after the practice of witchcraft stopped being illegal in Britain. She moved to Brighton a few years later and started her successful career as an author and witch. From 1964 she was president of the Witchcraft Research Association and wrote a series of books which popularised Wicca and made her the best known witch in Britain.
Doreen died in a nursing home in Sackville Road, Hove in 1999 and was cremated in Brighton following a Wiccan funeral service.
Doreen claimed that in the past every community had its witches and, depending on your time and place, the idea of the female witch took different forms. Witches have been considered doctors, midwives, astrologers, clairvoyants and prophetesses, but they have also been seen as resentful old hags, warty and cruel with powers to cause suffering and harm, to kill livestock, ruin harvests, spread disease and death. Most sinister of all, was the witch as possessed devil worshipper.
This heretical, anti-Christian image was at the heart of the murder, by the Church and State, of thousands for crimes we, and to be fair most people since the Enlightenment, would consider laughable. And this atrocity didn’t take place in the Dark Ages, but in the 16th and 17th centuries, at the height of the Renaissance. In 1611, when Macbeth’s witches were on the stage at the Globe Theatre, those accused of being real-life witches were being tortured, hanged and burned.
Sussex, for some reason, came through the witch panic relatively unscathed. Despite the frequency of witch trials around Europe, the 1558 – 1736 Home Circuit Records list only 16 people prosecuted for witchcraft in this county (three men and 13 women and only four of them were found guilty). In 1572 Joan Usbarne was accused of bewitching to death a bull and a cow, she was sentenced to one year’s imprisonment. Margaret Cooper in 1575 was found guilty of bewitching to death two men and a woman; she was sentenced to death by hanging. Alice Casselowe only faced two charges of bewitching - one ox and two pigs - but she also died. Her punishment was one year in prison, but this sentence always included four six hours sessions in the pillory and sometimes this proved fatal. Lastly, Agnes Mowser who, in 1591, was accused of bewitching a young woman named Ann Flemens, she too got one year.
In the Act Books of the Archdeaconry Court of Lewes there is an account of a trial of two women from Hove on a charge of witchcraft. On 21 May 1588 Margery Banger, widow, and her daughter Joane were cited for being “vehemently suspected to be notorious witches and common practisers of the same”. The Court ordered a trial by compurgation, where four people of good character from Brighthelmstone and Hove were required to swear that the prisoners were innocent. They were acquitted – no witchcraft there.
There are tales about witches living in many Sussex villages. In Albourne, her name was Dame Prettylegs and, apparently, she was very keen on placing spells on horses. The witch who lived in a cottage called “Jack O’Spades” on Ditchling Common also liked to stop carts which passed her cottage. No matter how hard the horses pulled, the cart would go nowhere until the spell was broken. An unnamed witch, also from Ditching, was credited with the power to turn into a hare, which she did one night, but was attacked by a group of men with dogs and bitten on the leg. The next morning the woman was seen nursing an injured leg.
It was proof such as this that the witchfinders sought. They looked for discerning marks on the body or the presence of a cat or a dog, a mouse or a toad (because in these imps the witch’s malignant power resided!) If there was no ‘devil’s brand’ or ‘familiar’, prosecutors turned to other ways of catching suspected witches, including thumbscrews, the rack or ‘floating’. This was where a priest blessed a pond or river, the accused was thrown in with their hands tied, if they floated the water was rejecting them so they were guilty. If they sank they were innocent.
Witch: unfortunate victim of ignorance and superstition; sister who had offended and been persecuted by a patriarchal medical profession; or follower of Satan, one word but a host of incompatible histories, meanings and emotions. So come the witching hour, if you are unsure, follow the old Sussex custom, recorded by H S Toms curator of Brighton Museum in the 1920s, of hanging a holed stone by the door to protect yourself against witches.
Doreen Valiente (1922-1999) • 1962: Where Witchcraft Lives • 1973: An ABC of Witchcraft • 1975: Natural Magic • 1978: Witchcraft for Tomorrow • 1989: The Rebirth of Witchcraft • 2000: Charge of the Goddess, a collection of poems, published posthumously
In 1542 Henry VIII passed an Act that made witchcraft a felony. Anne Boleyn was accused of sorcery and bewitchment. Under Elizabeth I a new Act punished with death the consulting of evil spirits for the purpose of bringing about death; witchcraft that caused bodily injury or harm to a person’s goods was punished by a year’s imprisonment, with exposure in the pillory, for a first offence and by death for a second. James I in 1603 made all forms of witchcraft, black or white, punishable by death. This continued to be the law until 1736.
Matthew Hopkins, self-appointed Witchfinder General. There are many tales about the demise of Hopkins, but the one I like best is where, at some point during his reign of terror 1645-7, concerns about how he could identify witches without the help of the Devil began to surface. Eventually he was himself tried for witchcraft, tied and “floated” and, of course, he drowned, which I guess proves he wasn’t a witch after all!

Neglect occurs when a parent or other primary caretaker chooses not to fulfill their obligations to care for, provide for, or adequately supervise and monitor the activities of their child. Parental and caregiving obligations include the physical, emotional, and educational well-being of the child. Thus, neglect can also occur when the parent or caretaker does not seek adequate medical or dental care for the child. Another definition of neglect is when the parental figure does not provide sufficient food, clothing, or shelter.
Parents are also expected to provide for the emotional needs of the child. Thus, neglect can occur when parents abandon the child, or simply have no time to spend with the child, in essence leaving the child to raise himself. If the child is actually left without supervision, this certainly constitutes neglect as well.
The final feature of neglect includes educational neglect, which often occurs when one child is responsible for other children in the family. Shifting the responsibility of caring for younger children to another child in the family prevents the caregiving child from participating in age-appropriate activities for themselves, such as attending school. This is a relatively common situation that makes it difficult for the oldest—and perhaps all of the children—to attend school. Parental responsibility includes providing adequate guidance and supervision for the children to regularly attend school. Truancy is not only a problem for children, but may be part of the picture of neglect as well.
Effects of neglect
Consequences of neglect are generally cumulative, and often negatively affect the child's development. For example, poor nutrition has negative consequences on the child's physical and psychological development. If proper nutrients are not available at critical growth periods, the child's development will not follow the normal and usual pattern. Common physical and psychological reactions to neglect include stunted growth, chronic medical problems, inadequate bone and muscle growth, and lack of neurological development that negatively affects normal brain functioning and information processing. Processing problems may often make it difficult for children to understand directions, may negatively impact the child's ability to understand social relationships, or may make completion of some academic tasks impossible without assistance or intervention from others. Lack of adequate medical care may result in long-term health problems or impairments such as hearing loss from untreated ear infections.
Long-term mental health effects of neglect are inconsistent. Effects of neglect can range from chronic depression to difficulty with relationships; however, not all adults neglected as children will suffer from these results. Some individuals are more resilient than others and are able to move beyond the emotional neglect they may have experienced. Characteristics of resilient individuals include an optimistic or hopeful outlook on life, and feeling challenged rather than defeated by problems.
Factors associated with neglect
Although each family's situation is unique with regard to stressors and characteristics that might precipitate neglect, there are some general factors that have been associated with neglect of a child. These factors include characteristics of the parental figure, and socioeconomic status.
Parental figures who neglect may have been neglected or abused themselves. There is a tendency for parental figures that neglect their children to have low self-esteem, poor impulse control, and to experience anxiety or depression. Other factors associated with neglect often include inadequate information about child development, including age-appropriate expectations of what children may be able to do. The parents may also feel overwhelmed by parenting responsibilities, and feel negatively about the child's demands on them. Such parents may never have fully adopted the role of parent or the caregiving the parental role requires. Internal pressures often push the caregivers to take care of their own needs (perhaps inappropriately), while ignoring the needs of the child. Substance abuse is often associated with neglect, particularly for those parents who are more self-absorbed and focused on their needs rather than their child's. This characteristic is also consistent with the findings of other studies indicating that some neglectful parents have an inability to be empathic, or to understand the feelings and needs of others.
Although abuse may occur across all levels of income and education, neglect is more often associated with severe levels of poverty and lower educational level. The external stressors may feel more extreme in single parent families as well, leading to neglectful behavior. Even in families where the parent is attempting to provide for the children, absence due to multiple work demands may lead to a neglectful situation. Families that are disorganized and socially isolated are more likely to neglect the children in their care.
Unlike victims of abuse, there are few consistent characteristics associated with victims of neglect. Retrospective studies of adults neglected as children indicate that females are slightly less resilient to neglect than men.
The number of children nationwide who are harmed or endangered by neglect is greater than any type of abuse. Neglect is consistently reported in more than half of the substantiated reports of mistreatment handled by the authorities.
Prevention and treatment
Interventions are usually aimed at two levels: community prevention efforts and individual parenting skills. A community-based program that actually combines the two facets of intervention is the "Parents as Teachers" program, which is available through many local school districts throughout the nation and is free of charge. Benefits of the program include its accessibility—parents simply need to call for the free service—and the in-home interventions provided by the program. Although the program is not part of the social service network of agencies, the fact that workers go into the home replicates that aspect of caseworker interventions. The simple act of having a paraprofessional in one's home can reduce the likelihood of neglect. Specific interventions that further reduce the likelihood of neglect include focusing on the parent-child relationship, reviewing appropriate expectations for the child's behavior (based on child development principles), and teaching basic parenting skills.
Other treatment options are generally more formal, and may be initiated by a call from a mandated reporter with concerns about neglect. Mandated reporters include physicians, teachers, and counselors. Any of these professionals may make the initial call if neglect is suspected. Concerned individuals may also call social services to report suspected neglect. In these cases of forced treatment, parents may be less willing participants in treatment efforts aimed at behavioral change for themselves and their families. In other instances, the parent or child may already be in treatment, and the focus on reducing neglectful behaviors may be incorporated into the existing treatment relationship. Factors to focus on in formal treatment aimed at reducing the likelihood of neglect may include specific parenting skills, home visits to allow monitoring of the relationship, as well as other individual needs such as substance abuse treatment, or empathy skill training.
Treatment efforts for the child should include family counseling aimed at communication skills and appropriate expression of affection and emotion within the family. Assertiveness skills training may be helpful for older adolescents in asking for their perceived needs.

-'마장축산물시장'에서 가성비있고 맛있는 고기를, 공영주차장까지 저렴한 가격으로 이용가능
코로나 19 사태로 일상이 바뀌었다. 개학은 언제 할 것이며, 사회적 거리두기는 언제나 끝날까? 코로나 19에 대한 우려와 각종 불안으로 '안 먹던 집밥'을 먹게 되는 세상이 되었다.
'집밥' 영양소 고르게 챙기는 것이 중요, 그 중에서도 단연 '고기'
이와 같이 밖에 자주 외출을 못하고 집에서만 먹는 풍조라면, '집밥'의 영양소도 고르게 챙기는 것이 중요해질 것이다. 물론 밥, 채소, 과일 등을 고루 먹어야 하지만 가장 중요한 영양소는 고기, 생선, 달걀, 우유 등에 풍부한 단백질임은 말할 것도 없다. 특히, 고기는 코로나 19로 인해 스트레스를 해소해주고 행복을 선사해줄 으뜸 음식이다. 고기에는 행복호르몬으로 알려진 세로토닌과 도파민을 분비하는데 가장 중요한 역할을 하는 단백질이 많이 포함되어 있다. 또한 스트레스 해소에 도움을 주는 마그네슘, 피로를 해소해줄 비타민 B군도 풍부하게 함유되어 있다.
전문가는 효율적인 영양소 섭취를 위해서는 한 번에 많이 먹기보다는, 매 끼니 부족하지 않게 챙겨 먹어야 한다고 조언한다. 고기를 먹는 데 소비자 입장에서 아무래도 가장 신경 쓰이는 건 '고기 가격'일터다.
'그렇다면 좋은 품질의 고기를 가성비있게 구매해 먹을 수 있는 방법은 무엇이 있을까?'
고민하고 있다면 온라인 주문도 가능한 <마장동 축산물 시장> 주목해보자.
마장동 축산물 시장은 연간 약 200만명이 찾는 국내 최대 축산물 재래시장으로, 좋은 가성비의 품질 좋은 고기를 판매하기로 단골들에게는 명성이 자자한 곳이다. 돼지고기 가격은 1kg 당 6200원 선이며, 소고기 가격은 최고 등급인 투플러스(1++) 한우 등심 100g이 8500원~9000원 수준이다. 현재 이마트와 롯데마트 등에서 파는 1++ 한우 등심 100g은 약 1만원~1만3000원임을 감안할 때 훌륭한 가성비이다. 온라인으로 샀을 때도 가격은 동일하다.
이왕 외출했다면, 1층에서 사서 2층에서 먹을수도 있는 '마장 축산물 시장만의 법칙'
이왕 외출했다면, 1층에서 사서 2층에서 먹을 수도 있는 '마장 축산물 시장만의 법칙'을 이용하여 신선한 고기를 아예 시장에서 먹을 수도 있다. 1층 정육점에서 고기를 사서 2층으로 가면, 1인당 차림비만 내면 직접 구매한 고기를 바로 먹을 수 있는 시스템이 있다. 저렴하게 구입한 고기를 가장 맛있게 구울 수도 있는 곳이 마장동 축산물 시장인 셈이다. 인기 메뉴는 한우 등심에 치마살, 살치살, 안창살, 토시살, 제비추리 등을 섞은 모듬 세트. 1인당 200g씩 3~4인분에 대략 5~6만원대다. 5~6인분은 8~10만 원 수준이다. 시내 중심가에서 삼겹살 먹을 돈이면 고가의 한우 모듬세트를 먹을 수 있는 것이다.
공영주차장까지 저렴한 가격으로
시장 근처에 주차장이 없을까봐 걱정한다면 마음 놓고 안심해도 된다. 마장 축산물 시장 서문쪽에는 저렴한 가격의 공영 주차장이 자리하고 있다. 코로나에도 건강을 챙길 수 있는 방법이 다양하지만, 가성비 있고 신선하고 맛있는 고기를 먹기 위해 소중한 외출 기회를 <마장 축산물 시장>에 투자해보는 것은 어떨까? 건강도, 맛도, 행복도 챙길 수 있는 일석삼조의 기회이다.

Webinar User Experiences Drive the Sales Pipeline
New Report from Nucleus Research and ON24 Illustrates How Engaged
Webinar Audiences Accelerate the Sales Cycle
SAN FRANCISCO — April 29, 2015 — A new research report from ON24 and Nucleus Research conclusively illustrates that investments in webinar marketing solutions reduce the cost of lead nurturing, increase average deal size, and accelerate buying cycles by providing a more positive engagement experience across all phases of the marketing and sales funnel.
Available for immediate, free download, the “Nucleus Guidebook to ON24,” authored by Rebecca Wettemann, Nucleus Research’s Vice President of Research for Enterprise Applications, Analytics and Cloud, relays findings from in-depth interviews with customers who use the ON24 platform to support a variety of business needs, including lead generation, sales support and ongoing customer support and training.
The report was designed to explore customer expectations and the business benefits of investing in a professional-grade platform such as ON24 – and, most notably, how webinar quality and performance impact the sales cycle. Nucleus conducted interviews with companies ranging from small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to Fortune 50 firms and found that high-quality webinars are “table stakes” in today’s highly competitive fight for new customers. The report also illustrates how some platforms can limit marketers’ ability to maximize program ROI, for reasons such as:
- Barriers to participation – Software installs or plug-ins for joining a web conference reduce participation by 30 to 40 percent.
- Technical difficulties – Issues like latency, poor sound quality and presentation problems dramatically spike drop-off rates.
- Static broadcasts – One-way broadcasts that lack interactivity mean that participants are less likely to remain engaged or retain the content.
The report states that fully branded webinars deliver real business benefits. Overall, Nucleus found that ON24’s branding capabilities, accessibility, interactivity, analytics and reporting, and integration drove greater value across the sales cycle through improved customer engagement and lead nurturing. Nucleus also revealed that smaller or less well-known firms were able to compete at a higher level with a more professional and polished platform for real-time and replayed webinars. Nucleus found key benefits of the ON24 platform to include:
- Customization – such as branding and the use of corporate colors, images and top-line messaging
- Interactive features – such as Q&A, chat, polling, surveys and social sharing
- Real-time analytics and reporting – including prebuilt reports and dashboards for participant and lead analysis
- Download-free webcast access – accessibility from any browser, tablet or mobile device
- Live and on demand – support for real-time and on-demand webinar broadcasting
“We are really pleased that research from a respected firm like Nucleus bears out what we already know, which is that investing in ON24 – and the powerful user experience that we deliver – drives engagement, reduces cost and speeds the sales cycle,” said Mark Bornstein, ON24 Senior Director of Content Marketing.

BOQU Instrument focus on development and production of water quality analyzers and sensors, including water quality meter, dissolved oxygen meter, pH sensors, etc.
Portable multi-parameter water quality tester, as the name suggests, should first meet portability, even if it is easy to carry and move; secondly, it emphasizes multi-parameters, that is, we usually require the collection of multiple measurement indicators in one instrument Above; the latter is the water quality detector, which is an instrument for detecting water quality indicators, usually we can express it as the water quality indicators of sewage or wastewater.
A portable multi-parameter water quality detector integrates digestion and measurement and also provides more spare partitions to realize the carrying of detection necessities such as digestion tubes, cuvettes, measuring reagents, pipettes, etc. It can not only detect water quality indicators that do not need digestion such as ammonia nitrogen, turbidity, suspended solids, etc., but also can detect water quality indicators such as COD, total phosphorus, and total nitrogen that need to be digested. The digestion part and the measurement part are independently controlled by the power switch. They can be operated separately, and the digestion and measurement processes do not affect each other. The two processes are integrated into one instrument, which truly realizes portability. Only one instrument can be carried when going out to operate or move. , No external UPS power supply is required, and the instrument has a built-in imported lithium battery to achieve two normal COD measurement and digestion.
Normal conditions of use of the portable multi-parameter water quality detector:
1. Ambient temperature: 5～40℃.
2. Relative humidity: ≤85%.
3. Power supply: lithium battery.
4. No significant vibration and electromagnetic interference, avoid direct sunlight.
Portable Multi-parameter Water Quality Detector Features:
1. Less reagent consumption, low operating cost and strong anti-interference ability.
2. The measurement range is wide, and the range can be switched according to the actual situation of the water sample.
3. The intelligent design of fault self-diagnosis makes instrument management and maintenance easy and convenient.
4. It has a data output interface, which can be connected to a computer and transmit the measurement data to the computer.
5. Automatic constant temperature control of digestion system, PID adjustment technology, constant temperature in the digestion process and high precision.
6.2-point to 7-point calibration mode, automatic calculation of slope, intercept and correlation coefficient, high measurement accuracy.
7. Large-screen LCD backlight display, 240*128 dot matrix, Chinese operation interface, user-friendly programming design.
8. The instrument has a built-in real-time clock, and each measurement record has a measurement time stamp, which is convenient for statistics and queries.
9. Large-capacity data storage, power-off protection design, to ensure that the instrument is not damaged and data records are lost.
10. Strong anti-interference ability, suitable for industrial sites, and can be widely used in the monitoring of surface water and pollution sources.
11. The instrument adopts a semiconductor cold light source illuminator, unique optical circuit design, high measurement data accuracy, good stability, and the light source life can reach tens of thousands of hours.
12. The instrument has its own or optional printer (according to the specific model), which can directly print the measurement data and historical data.

Discussion in 'Religion' started by Magical Realist, Nov 11, 2013.
Did he force her to have sex with him? If so that's rape.
Only if you're a criminal.
Log in or Sign up to hide all adverts.
I said before . I was born and lived in Europe and in South America . your personal analysis might be fair for a society raised in USA in the 1900 to present , and your mind is far away from the way I perceive life .
Come on guy you are like infinite series..
About criminals during Governor Rayan"s administration in Illinois at one time they released about 90 person for not enough evidence or some related , This is specially in cases were people who don't speak English people depend on public defender and many of them are just interested to rush through and put the case to rest.
Right. And there's plenty of movies that show murders. You still go to jail for murder even if you watched the movie before you killed the person. Why? Because it's illegal.
Those people go to jail too.
Domestic violence ought not be tolerated...period. We may joke about it, but it is very serious business. Husbands, wives and children should not be beating on each other in the cause of righteousness.
Look I am not advocating for violence I said that before . But What happen within the family that is nobodies business The government does supports the family , now if someone in the family chooses not to be part of the family then they invite the government and that is how is done here ( by not pressing charges )
We had over 100 apartment and there all sorts of incidences in families , If things would be as you guy portray the law and the enforcement tho government would broke .You are forgetting also with in the family violence the is some love also were one forgives the other .
Children should be correct if necessary that does not mean in permanent physical harm , thing should be done in a kind way
If there's violence, you bet it's other people's business. Gone are the days you can beat (or rape) your wife and tell the cops "she deserved it." Doesn't matter what excuse you use - it's "for Jesus" or it's because women are irrational or because it's "just what men do."
So if you saw a man beating his wife (or his child) you'd do nothing to intervene? You wouldn't step in or call the cops?
I mentioned in # 68 I am not advocating violence , but your attitude is as if I am beating my wife and killing my kids which are bigger and stronger then myself.
I do support that children have to be corrected if necessary with a belt I don't need government interference , and the government messed up one of my boys in the military training.
Since you are so concerned about punishment . why is the government punishes us with all sort of useless laws so as to make easy to take away our earning.
No. I am disagreeing with your suggestion that it's OK to ""restrain them by force until you can reason with them." I am disagreeing with your suggestion that "what happen within the family that is nobodies business." I am disagreeing with the group that claims it's OK to spank your wife. I am disagreeing with your implication that if you see domestic violence, you should just let it happen.
No one claimed "you are killing your kids."
Are you really equating domestic violence with taxes?
So you admit to abusing your wife?
Tell me, how often do you feel the need to physically force your wife to the ground and restrain her with force until she does what you want her to do?
Considering you just admitted to physically abusing your wife, and you are supposedly a god fearing man, and a secular society views domestic abuse to be illegal and immoral, I must ask, to whom are you appealing to here?
How is one a wife?
Obedient? Perhaps you should buy yourself a trained dog instead?
How should a mother teach her daughter to be a wife to an abusive dickwad like you?
Should the mother teach the daughter how to hide the bruises that men like you will leave on her if she isn't obedient?
I think the greater majority of men would feel revulsion at imagining marrying a child.
Forcing your wife to the ground and using physical force to restrain her as you described does make her a battered woman.
Are you suggesting that you were raised to physically abuse your wife?
Domestic violence is a crime. If you commit a crime (and you have by your own admittance), you are a criminal and that is very much the State's business.
Men who beat their wives often profess to love their wives as well. Forcing someone to live in absolute fear and obedience and failure to comply results in physical abuse, such as what you did to your wife, is a crime.
How do you physically abuse someone kindly?
You have admitted to physically assaulting your wife if she does not do as you say and to beating your children with a belt.
You are an abuser and thus, violent by nature. Whether you advocate violence is beside the point. You are a domestic abuser.
I don't care where you're from. A wife beater is a wife beater no matter what flag he salutes.
Let me make straighten between spanking and restraining . Spanking to me means you lay your hand physically upon somebody . Restrain is you are not permitting somebody lay his or her hand upon you,
Now you or me comming into mixing domestic violence wit tax . I wanted make an example of government encroaching in citizen life , but it twisting into something else.
Unless the people took a vote - then it's called democracy.
You are absolutely right , I rule my house with iron fist.
Yes , yes that is me I am a wife beater
Now the forum jury, condemns me , based on their expert understanding and wisdom.
Have you eve been beaten by your man, Have you ever raised your hands to hit your man ?
You can choose to leave to avoid them "lay your hand upon you." If you choose to stay and "restrain them by force" then expect to go to jail.
At this point I really don't care if you believe me. That's the law, and it's a good one. Again, there are plenty of societies where violence towards women is still tolerated; feel free to choose one if you find such laws intolerable.
Separate names with a comma.

Ruohonjuuri avaa maaliskuussa uuden lippulaivamyymälän Helsingin ydinkeskustaan. Myymälälle on remontoitu hienot puitteet hulppeaan arvorakennukseen Mannerheimintielle, jossa aiemmin piti majaansa Nordean pankkikonttori. Ruohonjuuri sanoo toimivansa Helsingin keskustan vireyden puolesta tarjoamalla kaupassaan ostosmahdollisuuden lisäksi elämyksiä ja palveluita.
Kauppa elää murroksessa, ja koronapandemia on entisestään lisännyt monen erikoiskaupan haasteita etenkin muoti- ja kenkäalalla. Kaupan liiton jäsenliitto Fashion Finland tarjoaa uudella neuvontapalvelullaan työkaluja ja tukea muotialan yrittäjille. Matalan kynnyksen maksuttomalla toiminnalla halutaan auttaa muotikauppiaita kehittämään liiketoimintaansa, aikaansaamaan kasvua ja pääsemään haastavien aikojen yli.
Intersport on onnistunut vuodessa parantamaan asiakastyytyväisyyttään erityisesti palvelukokemuksessa ja lojaaliudessa. Taustalta löytyy monikanavaisuuden haltuunottoa ja henkilöstön monipuolista koulutusta.
Asiakkaiden kokemus palvelusta luo asiakastyytyväisyyttä ja sitä kautta myös lojaliteettia kauppaan. Palvelukokemuksen merkitys asiakastyytyväisyyteen on erityisen voimakas yli viisikymppisillä asiakkailla. Ikärakenteeltaan muuttuvassa Suomessa kaupalle on entistä tärkeämpää pohtia, miten vastata eri ikäisten asiakkaiden tarpeisiin. Paras palvelukokemus ja asiakastyytyväisyys on päivittäistavarakaupassa ja heikoin rautakaupassa sekä sisustus- ja huonekalukaupassa.
Hiilineutraalisuustavoitteen saavuttaminen vuoteen 2035 mennessä edellyttää maan hallitukselta palvelualojen yritysten vähähiilisyyttä tukevia päätöksiä. Keskeinen tällainen päätös olisi palvelualan sähköveron alentaminen. Sähköveron alennuksella turvattaisiin myös Suomen kustannuskilpailukykyä ja kotimaisia työpaikkoja. Yhä kiristyvässä kansainvälisessä kilpailussa kamppaileva palvelusektori maksaa tällä hetkellä 45 kertaa kalliimpaa sähköveroa teollisuuteen verrattuna.
Yhteistyössä on voimaa! Ollaan ihmisiksi -kampanja muistuttaa, että meille kaikille kuuluu vastuu asiakaspalvelutyötä tekevien ihmisten työhyvinvoinnista. Tampereelle edenneen kampanjan pääviesti on, että ketään ei työssään saa kohdella epäasiallisesti.
Millaista on hyvä johtajuus kaupan alalla ja miten korona-aika on vaikuttanut johtajan työsarkaan? Kaksi vahvaa vaikuttajaa, Suomalaisen Kirjakaupan toimitusjohtaja Minna Kokka ja Pentikin toimitusjohtaja Riikka Wulff, valottavat ajatuksiaan johtajuudesta, jonka keskiössä heillä on aina ihminen.
Alepan asiakkaiden tyytyväisyys on vuodessa noussut eniten Kaupan liiton asiakastyytyväisyystutkimuksessa. Resepti kuulostaa yksinkertaiselta: Alepoissa keskitytään hyvään asiakaspalveluun. Tervehtimisestä se lähtee.
Kuluttajapalveluille vaikean koronavuoden aikana asiakastyytyväisyys on noussut eniten lääkärikeskuksissa. Yksittäisistä yrityksistä tyytyväisyys on kohentunut voimakkaimmin Alepa-ketjussa, ja parasta se on Dressmannin asiakkailla. Palvelukokemus vaikuttaa voimakkaasti asiakastyytyväisyyteen, ja paras palvelukokemus on päivittäistavarakaupassa. Kaupan liiton pääekonomisti Jaana Kurjenojan mukaan fyysiset myymälät pystyvät kilpailemaan digiostamisen kanssa sijainnilla, valikoimilla ja asiakaspalvelulla.
Mikä on Suomen erikoiskaupan tulevaisuus, ja miksi erikoiskauppa ei pärjää kansainvälisessä kilpailussa, on kysytty toistuvasti jo 1990-luvun lopulta lähtien, jolloin ensimmäiset ruotsalaiset vaateketjut rantautuivat Suomeen.

The IIV Mikrofinanzfonds offers you the opportunity to make a social impact while earning a return that is detached from the stock and bond markets.
Since its launch in 2011, the fund has achieved a positive annualized return. With the help of your investment, you make a comprehensive contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations – primarily to goals 1, 5, 8 and 10.
In our monthly reports you will find comprehensive information on the investment strategy, performance data, social return and other relevant key figures.
In the R class, an investment is possible from as little as EUR 100, while the minimum investment amount in the I class is EUR 30.000.
Both tranches are open to private investors.
Find all the necessary information regarding product type, risk, return and costs in the key information document, allowing you to quickly and easily compare this information with that of other products. All documents are only available in German.
The prospectus, together with the latest available annual report or semi-annual report, is the legally binding basis for the purchase and sale of units of the IIV Mikrofinanzfonds. All documents are only available in German.
Fund units can be purchased monthly and sold quarterly. Buy orders must be submitted to the fund custodian via the bank or fund platform by the 20th of each month. Sell orders must be submitted by the 20th of the preceding month of each quarter end (e.g., February 20 for sales on March 31).
The IIV Mikrofinanzfonds is classified as a sustainable financial product within the meaning of Article 9 of the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).
An essential part of the fund’s investment strategy is the pursuit of a social objective in the form of combating economic and social inequality and promoting social and economic inclusion.
Do you need individual sales documents? Then please feel free to contact our Business Development team.
The IIV Mikrofinanzfonds is a public AIF and therefore available at any bank, savings bank, direct bank, fund platform or your investment advisor and asset manager. You need a securities account for this.
How does the IIV Mikrofinanzfonds work?
The IIV Mikrofinanzfonds uses the money invested by investors to acquire unsecuritized loan receivables from microfinance institutions in developing and emerging countries. Microfinance institutions are selected according to strict financial and social criteria, predominantly from the group of established Non-Banking Financial Institutions (NBFI), Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) and cooperative banks. The average loan amount per sub-borrower is currently USD 1,559 (as of June 30, 2023).
The microfinance institutions in turn lend the capital raised to low-income people who want to improve their standard of living through entrepreneurial activity or need to bridge financial bottlenecks.
Typical micro-borrowers are, for example, green grocers, tailors, livestock farmers and craftsmen. They thus have the money to buy seeds, tools, materials or other raw materials. It also helps them to bridge periods of financial difficulties, such as during periods of drought, after floods and other natural hazards.
After an average of nine to twelve months, the borrowers have repaid their microloan. The microfinance institutions repay their loans, including interest payments, to the IIV Mikrofinanzfonds, and the investors receive a steady return through the fund units.
Where does your money go?
We include the intended impact of each potential investment in our investment decision process for the investment funds we manage and then manage it. In doing so, we fulfill our commitment as a signatory to the Operating Principles for Impact Management (OPIM). Our statement on the OPIM can be found here.
After the investment decision, we measure the social reach of the portfolio and present this in various publications. These include, in particular, the monthly reports and the annual Impact Report.
In our annual Impact Report, we report in detail on the impact achieved in the microfinance sector with the money entrusted to us within the previous year.
Impact Measurement – Social Reach
The investments of the IIV Mikrofinanzfonds aim to have a sustainable impact. A direct impact channel of our investments is the refinancing of microfinance institutions in developing and emerging countries through the acquisition of non-securitised loan receivables. This gives people in these countries access to financial services. Additional indirect impact channels are enabling the implementation of business ideas and thus greater independence, as well as the promotion of women and entrepreneurship. We would like to give investors a clear insight into the social impact of their investments with the indicators below. All data refer to June 30, 2023.
By investing in different areas, the fund makes an important contribution to strengthening communities economically and improving the living conditions of people in developing and emerging countries. We divide the areas into four segments: Services, Agriculture, Commercial and Other. Under “Other” money is made available to the final borrowers for necessary social expenses and other areas such as housing or education.
We firmly believe that women play a crucial role in economic development and have an immense impact on their communities. It is therefore our aim to promote the position of women (SDG 5: Gender Equality). The majority of the microcredits from the microfinance institutes we refinanced go to women to enable them to become self-employed.
Even if group loans dominate and make sense in some contexts, most microloans today are granted to individuals. Many people do not want to be responsible for others. Another reason is the penetration of microfinance into urban and peri-urban areas, where social cohesion is generally not as strong as in rural areas. Scientific studies now suggest that the probability of repayment for group loans is not generally higher than for individual loans.
In the rural regions of the countries in which the IIV Mikrofinanzfonds invests, poverty is usually structurally anchored. Many therefore move to the cities to find work and a living. Their situation is often hardly better there. We want to support people in both places – in the country and in the city.
The selected microfinance institutions not only provide the borrowers with capital and financial services, but also support them within the framework of further training measures, among other things. Advisors with expertise and local staff support us in the selection of microfinance institutions.
The high repayment rates of 98 percent on average show impressively that the vast majority of final borrowers are able to develop their entrepreneurial potential. Applied correctly, microfinance can reduce poverty and help people to improve their standard of living through their own efforts.
Success often needs only a little stimulation
As of June 30, 2023, the IIV Mikrofinanzfonds had invested in 93 microfinance institutions in 31 countries. The fund thus currently provides 465,969 economically active people with access to financial services, paving the way for them to become entrepreneurs.

A proven investment process
In addition to risk diversification across different regions, countries and microfinance institutions, the qualitative selection of institutions significantly determines the investment success of the IIV Mikrofinanzfonds. When selecting partners, not only do we conduct an in-depth financial and risk analysis, but we also attach equal importance to ethical and social aspects.
Based on a careful company evaluation, we only select microfinance institutions for the IIV Mikrofinanzfonds that operate sustainably and offer their services on fair terms. We pay particular attention, for example, to reasonable interest rates, transparent credit counseling, continuing education programs for micro-borrowers, the avoidance of over-indebtedness, the coverage of rural areas and the advancement of women. In our dual investment approach, the assessment of the financial and social performance of microfinance institutions is carried out using in-house investment analysis tools and an in-depth on-site review. Through this stringent investment process, the IIV Mikrofinanzfonds provides investors with the assurance that they are creating social value with their investment, in addition to a financial return.
