Previous studies suggest that attentional bias and disengagement may vary as a function of Body Mass Index (BMI), most notably in a palatable food related context. Though this could indeed represent a food context specific effect, it could also represent a general reward related context effect. In addition, though mindfulness and stress have both been reported to affect attention, it is not yet clear whether these moderate the relationship between BMI and attention as a function of reward context. In the current study we addressed these questions. It was hypothesized that BMI would be positively associated with bias in a food context and money context relative to a neutral context. The inverse was expected for disengagement. It was expected that mindfulness would decrease these relationships and for stress the inverse was expected. In the current online study, eighty-seven participants (24 males and 63 females; age: M = 30.1, SD = 8.3; BMI: M = 24.2, SD = 4.67), filled out questionnaires and completed a visuospatial cueing task measuring attention and disengagement of attention in a neutral, food-related, and money-related condition. There was no association between BMI and attentional bias. Higher BMI was associated with faster responses to money pictures presented opposite to a cued location as compared to money pictures that did not follow a predictive cue. Our results do not support a clear moderating role of mindfulness and stress. Discussion and conclusion Our results imply faster processing and associated quicker responding to unanticipated reward-related stimuli in individuals with overweight or obesity.

Writers’ Roundup: March 18 March 18, 2011 I’ve had a crazy week, brainstorming some awesome upcoming projects for this blog and working on a few guest posts for other corners of the Internet. But I always make time for great links: - My lovely agent Rachelle Gardner had a fabulous series on her blog this week about busting publishing myths, including how much money writers make. - It seems like Nomadic Matt is still looking for a woman who’s traveling solo to blog for his popular site — Great opportunity if you fit the bill. - I’m loving The Washington Post’s new blog on innovative media, called — fittingly — @innovations.

Tyumen Airport was the first in the country to impose restrictions on the departure of men abroad due to partial mobilization. About this writes 72.ru with reference to the press service of the air harbor. It is noted that men must provide a certificate from the military registration and enlistment office for departure to foreign destinations . The requirement does not apply to domestic flights. “Now the military registration and enlistment office provides the border department with lists of citizens who are restricted from leaving. To cross the border, such categories of citizens need a certificate – an exit permit from the military registration and enlistment office at the place of registration of a citizen, ”the Roschino press service clarified. restrictions on travel abroad for Russians due to the announcement of the beginning of partial mobilization in the country were not introduced. On September 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the beginning of partial mobilization in the country. Later, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu clarified that a total of 300,000 reservists are planned to be called up. At the same time, partial mobilization will not affect those who are currently serving on conscription and students.

The roof is one of the most critical components of your home. It’s also one of the most expensive. If you’re in the market to replace the current roof or if repairs are needed to resolve issues like leaks, don’t hire the first Birmingham roof contractor that you find. Not all contractors have what it takes to provide the top-notch service that a roof needs to last. You don’t want to waste money and time with a company that’s not worth the dime when it is so easy to choose a great roofer if you take the time to compare the options and carefully make the right choice. Look for a Birmingham roof contractor offering the five qualities below to ensure you get a name that you can trust to go the extra mile to deliver exceptional results your way. Not all roofing products are created the same. If you want the longest-lasting, most durable roof out there, choose building products leading name when purchasing your roofing materials. Owens Corning is a leading name that you should look to for superb roof quality. Always choose a roofing contractor that brings experience to the job. The more experience the contractor offers the more secrets of the trade he can bring to the job. You’ll have greater comfort in the work that an experienced contractor performs, so always choose a name that has several years in business. 3. License & Insurance & Certifications It is essential that a roofer who is licensed and insured is chosen to perform the work that you need to be done. If you hire anyone else, it is unlikely the results will be satisfactory in your favor. It doesn’t hurt to choose a contractor that also holds a few certifications, just to be safe. Does the roofing company seem interested in your roofing job? Do they answer questions and ask their own? Does The contractor respond promptly to calls and emails and follow-up as promised? Professionalism is a quality that, sadly, some companies lack these days. Don’t settle for less when it is time to hire a great roofer. 5. Get Your Quotes But remember that price isn’t everything. Sometimes spending a little bit more money initially pays off when things are all said and done. Remember that we said choosing a brand like Owens Corning provides a better roof that has longer-lasting value? When you spend a bit more, you get this benefit and the peace of mind that it brings. Nonetheless, request roofing quotes from three to four companies to find the best prices and use the information along with other factors to find the right roofing professionals.

2018 Holden Colorado 2.8L four-cylinder turbo – Delco E98 ECU – EGR and DPF The Holden Colorado has long been recognized as a reliable and capable mid-size pickup truck. Its rugged design and impressive off-road capabilities make it a popular choice among adventure and off-road enthusiasts. However, for those seeking an extra dose of power and performance, tuning the Holden Colorado can transform this already capable truck into an absolute beast. In this post, we will explore the benefits tuning the Holden Colorado can have. The 2018 Holden Colorado is controlled by its Delco E98 ECU and is fitted with both EGR and DPF. If this does not fit the description of your Colorado then check out our other articles. We have an article about a 2016 Holden Colorado that also has a Delco E98 ECU but only has EGR. We also have an article about the 2015 Colorado that has a Bosch ECU and fitted with EGR only. As an example, we are going to use this 2018 Holden Colorado we had on the dyno. The customer wanted to enjoy that full driving experience. We decided that power tuning the ECU could give the Colorado the extra boost the customer was looking for. Upgrading the Holden Colorado with a power tune is an exciting improvement that can unlock the engine’s full potential. The 2018 Holden Colorado can be upgraded further by adjusting the emissions system to the tune. Thc Colorado can have EGR and DPf problems. We can solve these problems while tuning the vehicle. We could see increased power, enhanced torque, and improved throttle response after adding the power tune. This makes the tuned Holden Colorado a high-performance machine that conquers both on and off-road challenges with ease. Increased Power and Torque Increased power and torque result in safer over taking and easier open road driving. Throttle response is also increased. Years of Development We have been tuning the 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo engine for years, and understand how they work as well as the limitation on factory hardware. We have solutions for emission systems such as disabling the Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), Diesel particulate filter (DPF), Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and associated DTC fault codes.

This wedding highlights the power of curating a day that tells your story. The story of the love you share and what […] Joyce + Jordan’s wedding day at Indian Point Manor felt like a beautiful CELEBRATION from start to finish. Key words being beautiful and celebration. Lifestyle Lake Superior maternity session in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

I can feel summer around the corner – the buzz, summer plans falling into place, and session plans underway! And speaking of sessions . . . I’ve been dreaming about this summer lifestyle session (and not-so-patiently waiting for strawberry season) and it feels like the right time to blog about this beauty of a family […] After a stretch of gloomy, rainy days here in Central Wisconsin – I’m over here reminiscing about this spring motherhood lifestyle session last season. It was bright, floral-filled, and glowing with sunshine. Ahhhh – can you almost smell those lilacs from your seat? Samantha and her little Auggie ended the session meandering through a meadow […] You're nestled up by a fire at your family cabin, lakeside, with only the stars to accompany your sweet conversation over hot cocoa and Blue Moon. Family, friends, and twinkle lights. Windblown hair. Hiking boots for adventurous photography. Cozy moments for just the two of you. A dirty hem from dancing and making memories... and smiles you just can't wipe off your faces.

What you should know about Paraguay’s push to welcome Bitcoin miners Of late, Paraguay seems to be offering Bitcoin miners exactly what they need and thus, it has emerged as the latest country many miners are migrating to. China – Not the powerhouse anymore? China’s wariness towards crypto is an open secret and so is its intention to drive most crypto miners away from the country. While China has historically been a powerhouse of the Bitcoin network, generating a huge chunk of its hash power, the recent crackdown on miners has fueled a migration. While some chose Kazakhstan and the United States of America to set up shops, there is another country miners are now increasingly turning to. Paraguay to the rescue? Paraguay is home to two of the world’s largest hydroelectric dams in Itaipú and Yacyretá. In fact, it generates 100% of its electricity through hydroelectric power. What’s more, the country is also responsible for the generation of the most renewable electricity per capita in the world. The damns generate nearly 8,500 MW of power, out of which Paraguay only consumes less than half while sharing the rest with Argentina and Brazil, among others. This surplus can help miners choose Paraguay over any other location in the world. Benítez Rickmann, CEO of Paraguay-based mining firm Digital Assets S.A, shares this sentiment. According to the exec, “In China 6,000 MW were turned off and that coincides with what there is in Paraguay that has an energy surplus of 5,500 MW. It is very attractive for them.” The road ahead Right now, the country is welcoming eight China-based Bitcoin mining firms. Following the same, 500,00 machines will be installed in the country. One mining operation alone will set up 90,000 Bitcoin mining rigs, he added. In light of the surplus in electricity generation, miners and others might find some relief in mining Bitcoin with renewable energy in Paraguay. On the legislative front, the country’s lawmakers are also working on a bill to regulate miners and attract foreign business. Rickmann, an advisor to the aforementioned bill, is of the opinion that such efforts have been fruitful. “The bill is designed for large mining companies to come to Paraguay. In China, 6,000 MW were turned off and that coincides with what there is in Paraguay, which has an energy surplus of 5,500 MW. It is very attractive to them. I have many names of companies from all over that are very interested in coming to Paraguay.” This would be a crucial development going forward. Especially since Bitcoin hash power was hit badly when the Chinese exodus was in full flow. As per data provided by Crypto Parrot, mining revenue surged by 179.4% over the last 30 days. Miners earned heavy amounts on 26 and 27 July with $36.49 million and $13.06 million, respectively. Furthermore, cumulative earnings were reported to be $841 million over the last 30 days.

If you see an old-timey picture what looks like a shotgun that’s either being held by two people, with one shouldering it normally, and the other having the barrel resting on his shoulder, or a similar gun that’s the size of an entire boat, you’re not likely being fooled, and what you’ll be seeing is a punt gun. In simple terms, a punt gun is a massive shotgun that is attached to the front of a small skiff boat, also known as the punt. It was used by hunters in the 19th and 20th centuries, mostly in the US and UK, for hunting waterfowl in market hunting operations that unsurprisingly decimated duck populations. The gun, affixed to the punt of the boat (hence the gun’s name being a punt gun) was typically a single shot shotgun that could kill multiple ducks with a single shot, which made it popular for both hunting ducks, and, more importantly, in commercial harvesting operations. If you want to see one, you’re fairly unlikely to these days, as they have become exceedingly rare firearms. As the 20th century dragged on, hunters began taking conservation much more seriously, and it became a lot less popular to hunt ducks in large numbers from a punt boat: the use of a punt gun is one quick way to decimate waterfowl populations, and their use in duck hunting has, thanks to a series of federal laws, has fallen out of favor and made them mostly a curio for gun collectors in the US since the 1930s. Punt Gun Specs Typically, a punt gun was a custom-made, one-shot shotgun, either flintlock or percussion cap in style, that was made for specific punt boats and hunters. Since these were one-off creations rather than commercial production firearms, we have to be fairly general when describing their specifications. |A gauge, 1 gauge, 1.5 gauge, 2 gauge, 4 gauge, 8 gauge + |Up to 2 in |5 ft + |30 lbs + Most punt guns were at least five feet long and often weigh upwards of thirty pounds on the light end. In terms of caliber, we’re using shotgun measurements. Thus, a one-gauge (also called “1 bore”) punt gun would have a barrel diameter of 1.69 inches, a 2-gauge of 1.33 inches, and the more common, 8-gauge, with a barrel diameter of .84 inches. It’s a good thing that punt guns are both heavy and fired from a mounted position because the sheer amount of powder and number of balls in each of the loads fired from a punt gun would have generated a tremendous amount of recoil The largest punt guns we’ve heard about were “A-Gauge” with a diameter of 2 inches! They were designed to massacre whole flocks of birds at once – sometimes as many as 90 birds in a single shot. These days, you’ll see them occasionally used in a punt gun salute in boat parades in the UK, but their practical use as hunting implements has long since expired over the years, as a matter of federal regulations in the US and UK. Punt Gun Shell Cartridge Due to their custom nature, most punt guns were muzzle loaded with black powder. They did not typically fire “shells” as they were not breech loaded nor was there a need for a fast and easy reload. They were typically single shot and would be reloaded on shore before boating out to hunt. Some more modern punt guns do use massive shells as you can see below compared to a normal size 12 gauge shotgun shell. Uses For A Punt Gun Historically, punt guns were used to hunt waterfowl, as we’d mentioned before, mostly in the context of commercial harvesting operations. This practice depleted stocks of waterfowl, ultimately leading the federal government to pass legislation that has disallowed their use in hunting. While it might sound fun to hunt an entire flock of birds at once, the fact that commercial hunters could kill that meany birds with one gun and a single pull of the trigger, in our view, is a sure way to keep people from being able to hunt in the future, so we likely wouldn’t do it now even if it means hunting easier. Because these reduced waterfowl numbers so severely, several countries, including the US and UK have more or less outlawed their use except as ceremonial or museum pieces. If you have a punt gun today, we expect that it’s as a historical relic, as if you cannot hunt with them, there’s not much use to one hunter trying to go out into the woods to stalk a deer with something that has the bore diameter of a small infantry cannon. Instead, we imagine most of these exist on the mantlepieces of people who have enough room to display them, and it’s fairly unlikely that a shotgun mounted to a small boat is going to become popular again any time soon. The punt guns, then, is a massive, and interesting historical relic at this point in the weapons industry. Are Punt Guns Legal? Yes, in the US punt guns are generally treated as shotguns, and (barring state laws) if you can own a shotgun you can own a punt gun. With that said, you might not be able to take them across state lines if you plan on taking them to a state that specifically prohibits them. As far as hunting goes, several federal laws such as the Lacey Act, prevent you from using punt guns for hunting in the U.S. Today, the largest shotgun you can hunt with legally is a 10 gauge. In the UK, punt guns are generally not legal for private ownership, although there are some exceptions. For instance. Queen Elizabeth II requested a punt gun salute for her at her Diamond Jubilee, wherein several punt guns fired simultaneously to celebrate her birthday. Frequently Asked Questions Yes, there were single barrel one gauge punt guns that were used to take out entire flocks of birds at once. This would likely leave several bodies from birds still floating on the water’s surface from the blast. Yes, there was such a thing as a 2 gauge shotgun. Overall the 8 gauge punt gun was a lot more popular since it was a lot more portable, but punt guns in all shapes and sizes were used to hunt waterfowl.

Members of an air defense artillery unit belonging to the Ohio National Guard are deploying to Washington D.C. this week. The Ohio National Guard announced on Monday that 30 members of the Headquarters Battery of the 174th Air Defense Artillery Brigade (174th ADA) would deploy to the U.S. capital in support of Operation Noble Eagle. The unit will hold a send-off ceremony at the Reynoldsburg United Methodist Church in Reynoldsburg, Ohio on Tuesday afternoon. The Ohio National Guard noted this deployment is part of planned operations and is “not in response to the current events in Ukraine.” Operation Noble Eagle is a joint U.S. and Canadian military homeland security operation designed to protect military installations and critical infrastructure. The operation has been ongoing since Sept. 12, 2001, and began as part of the initial response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. According to the National Guard Bureau, Operation Noble Eagle initially saw Air National Guard, U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy fighters flying combat patrols over major U.S. cities and various pieces of critical infrastructure, including power plants, bridges, airports, and port facilities around the country. Such pieces of critical infrastructure were covered on a continuous basis for several months before the defense presence was gradually scaled down. “The Integrated Air Defense System (IADS) in the [National Capital Region], consisting of sensors, alert fighters, and ground-based air defense weapons systems, was established shortly after Sept. 11, 2001, at the direction of the Secretary of Defense,” the Ohio National Gaurd said. “Originally staffed by active-duty forces, the NCR mission has been manned by Air and Army National Guard members since 2003. The mission stands today as a prime example of the National Guard fulfilling its ‘Defense of the Homeland’ mission.” The Ohio National Guard said the 174th ADA will serve as a task force headquarters unit and “will provide command and supervisory oversight support to the homeland defense mission, which includes the use of radar, ground-based air defense systems, and communications equipment to protect the National Capital Region (NCR).” The 174th ADA has previously deployed to the NCR, including in support of Task Force Buckeye in 2019 and 2020, in support of Task Force Guthrie Grays in 2017 and 2018, Task Force Luzon in 2012 and 2013 and Task Force Phoenix in 2008 and 2009.

The Purpose of SOC Reports SOC reports are produced by service organizations that provide services to other entities. The intent of a SOC report is to provide an understanding into the relevant controls in place related to the service provided. SOC reports are key inputs for developing trust as the functioning of the controls is tested by an independent CPA firm, similar to a financial statement audit. Each variant of SOC report is designed to help service organizations meet specific user needs. Unfortunately, the fundamental concepts and naming of SOC reports are inherently confusing. This post will help you understand the basics of SOC reports and how they can be used in your business. SOC 1 vs. SOC 2 There are two main categories of SOC reports: A SOC 1 report is appropriate when a company has outsourced a key business process to an external service provider. This report focuses on internal controls around transaction processing at the service provider. The service organization producing the SOC 1 report can tailor the contents of its report to the key risks and controls that are important to its customers. The report is generally considered an ‘auditor to auditor’ communication, as the external auditor of the customer will need to understand the operating effectiveness of controls put in place by the service provider in order to complete its financial statement audit. A SOC 2 report is perfect for when a business needs to understand the cybersecurity and technology controls in place at a service provider. This report always has cybersecurity at its core but also can include other control areas like privacy or availability. The SOC 2 report is intended for management of its customers to provide them with assurance regarding key cyber risks and controls. The content of SOC 2 reports is pre-defined by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). There are significant similarities between SOC 1 and SOC 2 reports. Generally, SOC 1 reports contain similar cyber controls as a SOC 2 report but also include other controls relevant to the outsourced business process. In some circumstances, a business might determine that a combination of both SOC 1 and SOC 2 are necessary to ensure the internal controls at their service provider are operating effectively. Type I vs. Type II As if that isn’t confusing enough, for both types of SOC reports, SOC 1 and SOC 2, there are two different ‘flavors’ of SOC reports: A Type I report is not as desirable as a Type II report. A Type I report indicates the design of the controls is adequate, but the specific controls are not actually tested. A Type I report is issued as of a specific date. In formal terms, a Type I reports on the “fairness of the presentation of management’s description of the service organization’s system and the suitability of the design of the controls to achieve the related control objectives included in the description as of a specified date.” Regardless of whether it’s a SOC 1 or a SOC 2 report, the Type II report is what you want to see. A Type II report not only indicates the design of the controls is adequate, but the specific controls are tested by the independent CPA firm to verify they are operating effectively. These controls are tested over a period of time, generally one year but could be shorter. In formal terms, a Type II reports on the “fairness of the presentation of management’s description of the service organization’s system and the suitability of the design and operating effectiveness of the controls to achieve the related control objectives included in the description throughout a specified period.” Why You Would Need a SOC Report If you outsource a key business process to a third-party service provider, then you can use a SOC 1 report to ensure the internal controls at the service provider are actually in place and working. If your business shares sensitive or private information with a service provider, a SOC 2 report can be obtained to verify the service provider has adequate cyber controls in place. In both cases, SOC 1 and SOC 2, you want to verify the report is a Type II report, indicating the controls have been tested. If there are exceptions noted in the tests performed by the independent CPA firm, this could reveal a weakness in an internal control environment and a disconnect from your expectations of the service provider. Deciding Between SOC 1 or SOC 2 Ultimately, whether you request a SOC 1 or SOC 2 report will depend on each entity’s specific situation. For example, if you are publicly traded and outsource a key business process to a third-party service provider, then Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) already requires you to obtain a SOC 1. However, if you are a privately held startup which relies on outsourced technology infrastructure to conduct your business, then SOC 2 might be the better route for you to take, as a SOC 2 report will focus on security and availability to ensure that everything is secure and always up as you focus on growth and seek private investors. If you outsource any key business process, you need to start thinking about obtaining a SOC report from your service provider. How to Produce a SOC Report If your company provides important business services to other businesses, or if you have access to sensitive information from your customers, you need to start preparing to produce a SOC report. A great place to begin is with a SOC Readiness Assessment. As part of this process, a SOC specialist, generally a CPA firm, will begin by understanding your business and the requirements which are driving you to consider producing a SOC report. Then the SOC specialist will help facilitate a gap assessment to identify where your internal controls may not be sufficient to successfully produce a SOC report. The process may indicate where internal controls are needed but not in place, but can also identify areas where evidence of the control operating is insufficient or not being maintained. The SOC specialist can also help you mitigate risk by identifying opportunities to adopt leading practices or ways to improve controls by leveraging technologies such as workflow. Once the gaps are identified, you can begin to build a plan to successfully produce a SOC report. It is critical to start the SOC Readiness Assessment effort as soon as possible so that your business has ample time to implement the new or upgraded controls. Organizational change is difficult and should not be rushed. Anders can help companies identify SOC report needs and facilitate a SOC Readiness Assessment.

Pai Gow: The Agony of Eternity in Dealer Shuffle, is a card game that many have come to dread. A game that can last for hours, with no clear winner in sight. This game is dreaded by many, but loved by some, who find the challenge of finding an ever-elusive victory to be a thrilling experience. Let us explore the agony of an eternal pai gow, and the dealers who are its scourge. The Agony of an Eternal Pai Gow Pai Gow is a card game that has the potential to go on forever. It is a game of strategy and luck, and in the wrong hands and situations, it can take hours to complete. Players must carefully arrange their hand of seven cards into two different poker hands. As the game progresses, the players must try to outwit each other to gain the upper hand. As the game can go on for hours, players must stay alert and focus on the game, which can become increasingly difficult as the game progresses. Moreover, players can end up in a situation where one of the players holds an almost unassailable position. In such cases, the game can drag on for hours, with no clear winner in sight. This can be incredibly frustrating for all the players involved, as they must remain engaged in the game while their chances of success become increasingly slim. Finally, the agony of an eternal pai gow can be especially hard for those who do not know the strategies that come into play in the game. Without a sound understanding of the rules and strategies, players are at a significant disadvantage and can find themselves stuck in a game that goes nowhere. Dealers: The Scourge of Eternity The dealers in a game of pai gow can be especially problematic to those who are stuck in an eternal game. These are the people who must remain alert for hours on end, dealing the cards and watching the game progress. As the game drags on, the dealers must remain focused and engaged, ensuring that everyone is playing fairly and following the rules. This can be an incredibly taxing job, and one that can sap the energy from even the most dedicated dealer. Moreover, dealers often do not have the same level of understanding of the game as the players. This means that they may not be able to discern when the game is stuck in a stalemate, and can instead keep dealing cards and hoping that the game moves forward. This can lead to even more frustration, as the dealer is unable to offer any meaningful guidance to the players. Finally, dealers can also find themselves in the unenviable position of having to break up a game when it goes on for too long. This can be especially vexing for the players, as nobody wants to be told that their game must end prematurely, and the dealer can find themselves in a difficult situation as they must balance the needs of the players with the demands of the casino. Pai Gow: The Agony of Eternity in Dealer Shuffle is a card game that can be enjoyed by some, but that is dreaded by many. The agony of an eternal game can be hard to bear, and the dealers often find themselves in a difficult position in such cases. It is important to understand the rules and strategies of the game, so that you can avoid getting stuck in a stalemate. With the right knowledge and a bit of luck, you can avoid the agony of an eternal pai gow.

Regardless of the myths, there are no alligators in the sewers, but there could be frogs. Along with snakes and some rats, frogs are one of just three species that are known to show up unexpectedly in your toilet by moving from sewer pipes below. Of the three, the frog is the only one that can’t bite you. What can you do about frogs in the toilet? Most frogs get into toilets by accessing the plumbing vent pipe on the roof. To prevent frogs from getting in, put a mesh wire screen over your toilet vent. Don’t try to flush the frog down the toilet because they can stretch out their legs and cause the drain to be blocked or will try to hide under the rim of the toilet. Table of Contents How To Get A Frog Out Of Your Toilet I have seen plenty of online posts that say you can reach into the toilet and grab the frog to remove it. While this is technically true, it’s incredibly irresponsible. Please do not touch strange amphibians with your hands. Most frogs are toxic, and they can carry salmonella. Use gloves or other tools to remove your toilet frog gently. It is normal to be freaked out by finding a living creature in your toilet. However, that fear can be more profound for an unlucky few. According to Healthline, “Ranidaphobia is the fear of frogs and toads. It gets its name from Ranidae, which is the scientific name for one of the largest families of frogs.” If you have Ranidaphobia, your best bet is to call local animal control and have them come to get rid of it for you. The steps below will help you get the frog out of your toilet on your own: 1 – Get Your Gloves If the frog is larger, catching it by hand is fine if you have gloves on. Opt for waterproof gloves as they will help block the frog’s skin from touching yours and help prevent the spread of salmonella. You’ll need to be quick, but you can gently pin the frog to the bowl with the pressure from your fingers. Don’t push down too hard, or you could break the frog’s bones. Scoop them up with your other hand once the frog is trapped in place. Extend their legs behind them and carefully hold the frog right below the knee to keep it from escaping while you take it outside. 2 – Use A Fish Net or Butterfly Net You can scoop a frog out of the toilet using a breathable cloth sack or net. Ensure that you twist the top portion shut promptly to prevent your frog from escaping and hold it closed as you head outside. It’s normal for the frog to feel a little jumpy (no pun intended), and it may struggle slightly. 3 – Scoop The Frog Into A Cup A large plastic drinking cup or even a small Tupperware container can be ideal for frog capture. Place your container below the frog and use a gloved hand, lid, or another tool to scoop the frog into the cup. Once you get the frog into the cup, cover it and get the frog outdoors. If you absolutely must hold on to a wild frog for a while, ensure that it has clean, dechlorinated water to sit in. Also, your frog will need breathing holes in the lid of its container. How Did A Frog Get In My Toilet When you see a frog in your toilet, your first thought is probably how did it get there. If you have pet frogs, kids, or friends who are pranksters, the answer might be straightforward. However, most frogs in toilets come from plumbing vents. Alternately, they might be swimming up from the sewer. A frog that gets trapped in your house will sniff out any water source it can find. A toilet might not seem like an ideal hangout to you and me, but any water is better than none for the frog. So, sometimes the frog didn’t get in through the plumbing at all. Instead, it let itself inside through an open door. What Happens If You Flush A Frog Down The Toilet There are several probable outcomes if you flush a frog down your toilet. First, let me say please do not flush frogs down your toilet. Doing this is not only cruel to animals, and potentially illegal, but it’s just an all-around bad idea. Below is a list of 3 things that can happen if you flush the frog: - You flush, and a frog jumps out of your toilet. Now you have a toilet-frog in your house somewhere and you have to chase it down. - The frog may get stuck in the toilet. Frogs can stretch their legs out after all. Moreover, not all frogs in toilets came from the sewer. If a larger frog got into your house and hopped in the toilet to stay damp it might not fit down the tube. In this case, you need a plumber and animal control. - Perhaps the frog gets sucked down the pipes. Now you have to wonder if it emptied out into the sewer, got caught, and will die somewhere in your plumbing causing a nasty clog, or if it will swim back up into your toilet. If it doesn’t flush completely, then you have to do this all over again. If it dies you get to pay for costly repairs. Meanwhile, if the frog reaches the sewer after going on a wild waterpark ride, then you have frogs in the sewer, and this is more likely to happen again. There is no winning scenario where you flush a frog down your toilet. In the moment you’re justifiably grossed out or scared, and it can seem like a sensible solution, but I assure you pressing that handle or button is the wrong idea. It is worth putting in a little extra effort to capture the frog and release it into the wild instead. How To Prevent Frogs From Getting Into The Toilet Preventing frogs from getting into your toilet depends on how they are accessing it in the first place. For example, if frogs are legitimately swimming through your plumbing, there is nothing you can do. Well, okay you could replace all your pipes with more complicated pipes, but that’s incredibly costly and not at all guaranteed to work. If frogs are getting into your toilets because they come in open doors or windows from outside. You need to close the doors and put screens on the windows. Additionally, closing the bathroom will help with all but the smallest frogs. However, a lot of frogs get into toilets by accessing the plumbing from the plumbing vent pipe on the roof. When this is the case, there is a simple fix. You need a few square inches of chicken wire, or a finer mesh depending on your local frogs. All you need to do is cover the vent with the mesh, bending it and securing it in place. Viola! No more frogs get inside that way. Why Do Frogs Come Up The Toilet Frogs need water, or at last very moist environments to survive. Their skin is part of their breathing system and can change gasses with the air or water around them, but only if it stays damp. A dry frog is a dead frog, so they seek out any water they can find. Frogs may come up the toilet because they’ve gotten into your pipes through the sewer. Frogs aren’t averse to heading away from home to find new ponds, but that is risky. A frog too far from a pond will seek out any source of water there is. This sometimes, though thankfully not often, includes sewers. Once inside the dark sewer, frogs can easily get lost and turned around. They will look for a way to escape and only find more pipes. If a small frog happens upon your lines, it may swim up to your toilet where there’s light and reasonably fresher water. They aren’t trying to scare you in your private moments, it’s just the first place the pipe let out. Additionally, given how modern plumbing is designed to prevent backflow, anything that makes that surprising journey must have been desperate to escape. Give the frog credit for its resilience and do it the favor of setting it down outdoors near a body of freshwater. Helpful Tips To Know About Frogs In Toilet Finding a frog in your toilet is always unexpected, but it does happen. Especially if you live in an area like Florida or Louisiana, where frogs are abundant, these clever amphibians eventually find their way into any available water source. Here are a few more helpful tips to know about frogs in the toilet. - If you don’t know the number for your local animal control office, you can always call pest control and have them come out to remove a frog from your toilet humanely. - Like quicksand, finding a frog in your toilet is a lot more uncommon than you expect. The chances of you finding a frog in your bathroom are astronomically small unless you live somewhere like Miami. - The toilet frog may have come from your roof. While the amphibians end up in the toilet bowl, they actually get into the house through the plumbing vent pipe on the roof. If there’s a weirder experience than finding a frog in your toilet, I don’t know what it could be. Feeling alarmed when confronted by a toilet-frog is normal, but please do not attempt to flush the frog away. The best thing to do about frogs in the toilet is to catch them, and if possible, block their point of ingress. Grab a net and some gloves and stage a froggy rescue. You’ll get a great story, and the frog will live to see another day. As long as you’re careful, neither you nor the frog will get harmed as you remove it from the toilet.

Last Game is the type of shoujo that makes me wish more of the stereotypical series were like it. The melodrama, the light-hearted humor, the incredibly comfortable characters. It captures plenty of what other series attempt to do, but is able to present it in a package that isn’t near as grating as other series make it out to be. We’re now four volumes into the series, and that sentiment still stands strong, wonderfully displayed within the contents of this volume. I think the biggest and most shining example of that is our time spent with Souma. Between last volume and this volume, it’s made clear to the reader that he has feelings for Kujou. However, the representation of those feelings, how they’re shown from the perspective of the viewer, and Souma’s character make the revelation feel so much better than saying “we now have a love triangle”. And a lot of that is owed to the relationship between Souma and Yanagi. The pair have historically butted heads as Souma antagonizes Yanagi, but with the fancy party that Souma was brought along to, that teasing begins to take on a new light. We begin to catch a bit of Souma’s true personality and his struggles as a person, and it plays really well against the backdrop of “perfect” Naoto Yanagi. It shows just how much Souma forces himself to compare to others, and how much of his life has been spent in the shade created by another person. To that end, his backstory that he lets slip during a drunken evening with friends exemplifies that struggle, and the complex created when he was a younger boy. He’s already got it rough being from the sticks but living in Tokyo, but ghosts from his past like that add another layer of weight to his character, and frame his boorish behavior of earlier volumes. All he was doing before was chasing the things that he could never have: popularity, girls, notoriety, but Yanagi serves as a great counter that selfish nature. Souma can’t compete with Yanagi, and while stuck in the shadow of yet another insurmountable presence, he begins to understand the value of what he ignored. He begins to understand that he was chasing the superficial struggles that emerged when he was younger, and that true love and beauty eluded him while he chased illusions. Part of that is Kujou, but a great deal of that comes from his spats with Yanagi. The boy could have anything in the world that he ever desired, he could turn someone’s world upside down with a snap of his fingers, and yet he chose Kujou? That genuine decision, and his resoluteness in pursuing it have fundamentally changed Souma as a character, and it’s set him up beautifully for the next volume. Speaking of that, the melodrama Last Game makes use of is surprisingly subtle, but it plays a very important role. Of course, there’s the bit of a spat between Souma and Yanagi this volume that resolves with them becoming better friends and Souma understanding both himself and Yanagi better, but the drama I want to talk about is a girl: and it’s not Kujou. At the beginning of this volume, Yanagi had someone spill on his suit at a party. It was a very inconsequential moment that just served to tee up a bit of humor for the reader, but Shinobu uses that as an opportunity to open a whole other can of worms: a romance plot. It’s the kind of thing that seems comically excessive when within the framework of a “regular” person, but this Naoto Yanagi we’re talking about, a living and breathing Richie Rich. Shinobu’s able to use that to her advantage to set up a bit of a honey trap with the character that spilled on his suit earlier. It’s cunning, effective, and has wide-reaching consequences. First of all, it serves to drive a stake between Kujou and Yanagi, as the girl has already expressed her interest in making a move on the mini-millionaire. Similarly, it forces Kujou to face her own feelings, as the girl directly asks Kujou whether she has a crush on Yanagi. And then lastly, Souma himself expressed how cute she was. These three things all come from a single character, and will 100% stoke the narrative fire of Last Game through volume 5. Personally speaking, I think the conclusion I’m most interested in following this plot line is Souma’s. Even after realizing his feelings for Kujou, and the struggles he faces due to how he views the world, he’s found himself sucked right in here, and I think that won’t play out well for him. Once again, it’s going to burn him and leave him hurting, but I think it’ll be a strong turning point for his character, largely due to Yanagi’s awareness of the situation. Yeah, I said that. Yanagi already knows this is a honey trap. Kudos to Shinobu for not making Yanagi a total lost cause. It puts a new spin on the situation for readers, as the pressure is on Kujou and Souma instead. Yes, Yanagi will still see his own share of development from it, but the real focus here is Kujou and Souma, which I think is a really bold decision, but one that I love. Last Game may be about Kujou and Yanagi getting together, but that’s the end goal. Considering that, Shinobu continues to do a great job of extracting the most value out of characters like Kujou and Souma, as they grow and develop through their various interactions and challenges. It’s a little funny to say as Souma is very much not the one meant to end up with Kujou, but I find it incredibly refreshing to see challenges and development focused on someone other than the lead character, especially in this example. When you have everything, and you’re doing so much right, it’s hard to find a reason to root for your improvement or anything else you might do. So, all of that said, Last Game continues to be a very rewarding and enjoyable read. Shinobu’s work is refreshing, but puts in overtime to make sure that it sticks close to a lot of what readers perceive as the “core” of a shoujo romance series. I also really love Seven Seas’ inclusion of all of Shinobu’s short stories with each volume. Really, I don’t have anything to say other than if you like a bit of a juicy and dramatic romance, Last Game is sure to satisfy you.

This safari park is evoling. It’s called the Givskud Zoo, or Zootopia, and was first opened in 1969 as a lion-only park. A year later, elephants were brought in and today “the park has more than 700 animals representing more than 70 species.” Though, it is still technically a zoo, you can currently drive your own car through, much like a safari. Engineer, Bjarke Ingels has conceptualized the mega-transformation that will turn this park into the safari park of the future where the “humans are confined and the animals run free.” It emphasizes a giant “crater,” where the journey begins; you can walk around and look out into the different continents. Just as we are bringing nature back to our cities with vertical gardens, the goal here is to “make it even better for the animals,” according to Ingels. He continues, “I think, in a way, we owe our humanity to the fact that we started investigating science and animals … It’s not even a choice to leave nature alone – in a way we do need to take responsibility for it, so we also have to make sure we understand it.” Below is a video shot from inside the car on safari inside Givskud

Slow but Steady - Twitter's Recovery from its Abrupt Rebranding Continued in January This is a single insight from This Week in Apps - AI, Again.. Check out the full article for more insights. When Twitter became X, downloads got cut in nearly half. That's millions of downloads that are simply not happening because people who are looking for Twitter can't find it. But as time goes on X is becoming a more common name and people are associating it with Twitter more. How much more? In this month's check-in, we're going to look at the recovery in terms of downloads and also revenue, which is continuing to grow despite the abrupt name change. According to our App Intelligence, X saw 9.3M downloads in January, an 11% increase from December. This is the second month of download growth for X and what I expect to become the beginning of its recovery after its abrupt rebranding. Keep in mind that downloads are still much lower than what they were pre-rebranding. For context, last January, Twitter saw 14.6M downloads and averaged 13M downloads per month in 2023 until the name change. So, there's a lot of ground X has to make up and fast because Threads is a growing threat. How About Revenue? Revenue is also on the rise, but not as much as expected. Our estimates show X earned $7.9M of net revenue, that's after store fees, in January from the App Store and Google Play. That's a 4% increase when compared to December, or roughly $200K in absolute terms. So, not a lot. For comparison, Snapchat's mobile revenue rose 25% in January earning the yellow ghost another $5M in net revenue, according to our estimates. App Intelligence for Everyone! The insights in this report come right out of our App Intelligence platform, which offers access to download and revenue estimates, installed SDKs, and more! Learn more about the tools or schedule a demo with our team to get started. Are you a Journalist? You can get access to our app and market intelligence for free through the Appfigures for Journalists program. Contact us for more details. All figures included in this report are estimated. Unless specified otherwise, estimated revenue is always net, meaning it's the amount the developer earned after Apple and Google took their fee.

We are all aware of Snapchat, aren’t we? Well, Snapchat is a messaging and image-sharing platform where users send images. Videos, messages, stickers, and the like to each other are called “snaps” on the platform. It has been one of the most used and functional social media platforms in the present times. What if we say there is a premium version of this application? Yes! You can use snap chat premium daily and enjoy more enhanced and better platform features. And for that, you must know about the different aspects of snap chat premium. So, the following discussion offers you all the information you need about the premium version of Snapchat. It includes what the premium version of Snapchat is about, its features, its benefits, and the best premium Snapchat. So, follow the discussion below to learn about the Snapchat plus version. What is Snapchat Premium? Snapchat premium or Snapchat+ is the premium version of the Snapchat application. It is a premium subscription that any user can take to enjoy the enhanced features of the premium version. The Snapchat premium accounts receive additional benefits and features from the subscribed or premium version of Snapchat. The premium version enables users to access a great collection of experimental, exclusive, and pre-release app features. Therefore, when you are one of the Snapchat premium accounts, you receive the new features, filters and news about the app before anybody else. Also, you have access to features that the standard users do not. Therefore, it offers many benefits, including pinning a friend on Snapchat as a BFF. Additional features from being a part of the Snapchat plus subscription include receiving an exclusive badge, story rewatch count, and many more beneficial features. But at the same time, the Snapchat plus subscription does not evacuate the advertisements from the app. So, you will still have to deal with the platforms’ ads, even when you take the premium version of Snapchat. Among the many messaging platforms and apps available presently, only Snapchat is the one that has introduced a subscription or premium version of itself. It offers beneficial features for the users who subscribe and avail themselves of the premium or the plus version of Snapchat. Also Read About – How Often Does Snap Score Update – Complete Guide What All Does Snapchat Plus Do? Now, let us know what Snapchat premium does. Or in other words, we will discuss what aspects are different in the Snapchat premium version from the standard non-subscribed version of Snapchat. Firstly, the new features are abundant in number, but a unique feature among the many on the list is the Ghost trails on the map, which shows the history of the places where the users’ friends have been recently. The other features include a special pin, enabling users to mark someone or more than one friend on Snapchat as their BFFs. The users can also see who rewatched their story and how many times someone has rewatched it. They also get customized app themes and icons. The snapchat+ badge also comes with Snapchat subscriptions. When one subscribes to the premium version of this application, they also get the ‘Friend Solar System’ feature; you can have property story replies and post-view emojis. Premium users can also have bitmoji backgrounds, story timers, and priority story replies. They have the liberty and option of customizing their notification sounds and setting custom story excoriation. Lastly, they can have a camera colour bidder, and the feature of friend snap score changes when they choose to take Snapchat subscriptions. What Does Subscription Mean on Snapchat?

The Snapchat + features are an explanation for themselves, as they offer a better and the most optimal user experience when the users choose the premium version of Snapchat. So, the following are the Snapchat + features. - Story expiration customized Generally, the Snapchat story expires after every 24 hours of its posting. But, one of the Snapchat + features is that you can set a custom time for the story on Snapchat to remain intact. Therefore, when you are a part of the premium version of Snapchat, you can readily set a specific time for the story on your Snapchat to be present. So, your story on Snapchat does not disappear after 24 hours, by default, when you are a part of the premium version. Instead, you set a particular time, which extends from 1 day to a maximum of 1 week, and that is the time for your Snapchat story to be present. Therefore, the premium users of this platform can have their sources up on their profile for as long as one week. - Customize the notification sounds All of us know the notation sound for Snapchat notifications. But, premium snap users can cut the sound for their Snapchat notifications. Yes! When you choose the premium version of Snapchat, you need not have the same monotonous and standard sound for the notifications. The premium version offers you a wider variety of options, and among those options, you can choose a notification sound for your Snapchat notifications. You can even set different pounds for chat and snap. So, you can readily know when someone sends you a chat and a snap. The options that the premium version of the app offers are seven. So, customizing is fun, exciting and beneficial on this platform when you choose to be a part of the premium version. - Coloured camera borders Make your Snapchat look more colourful than ever with the premium version of the application. You can do so by painting or customizing the colour of the camera colour borders that the users can get only from the premium version of the application. So, one of the most exciting features of Snapchat plus is the ability of users to change the camera colour borders around the app’s camera view. The users can choose from a considerably large variety of options of colours. And the colour that the users select as their camera border appears around their camera when they record videos and click tires with the application’s camera. It is a fun way of making the app more colourful, exciting and intriguing—the more customization opportunities, the better the user experience. - View count of a repeat of your story Another of the most exciting features of Snapchat plus is that the users can view how many times friends replayed their stories.

It seems like every time you turn around you see another indicator of Japanese culture’s influence on American life. From fashion to industry, the style and substance of Japanese life gets imported into the United States. What is also evident is that the Japanese borrow from American culture as well, and Boris is an example of just that. They are named after a song by heavy-music luminaries The Melvins – and they mold that influence into their own sound. Boris’ musical output, both in terms of records released and songs written, is staggering. In the past two years alone, Boris has released more than five different records, each one different from the rest. This gets to the heart of Boris’ musical creation – there are three distinct sounds that they achieve. The first is what can best be described as heavy rock. It swings and moves like your favorite Black Sabbath tune, but Boris put their own spin on it. The next sound Boris conquers is that of monolithic sludge and doom. Songs that trudge along at a destructive pace with low-tuned guitars pummel the listener into submission. The last sound that Boris regularly explores is that of minimalist droning soundscapes. For this experimental work, Boris relies on textures and quiet changes to make their music dynamic – and they usually succeed. Boris’ most recent record, 2006’s Pink, is an exploration of their varied musical stylings. It has straightforward rock songs, as well as droning moments, and absolutely punishing heaviness. Pink is their best album because of this varied sound; it makes for a dynamic listen. It is a proper showing of Boris’ songwriting and playing skills, both of which are put on full display when seeing them live. Supporting Boris on the West Coast leg of their U.S. tour is Boston, Mass. band Doomriders. Featuring members of Old Man Gloom and Converge, Doomriders take their sound down a decidedly different path. Their songs feature the brashness of hardcore with the fun-loving time of Motorhead, as well as the leads of Thin Lizzy. Their music is simple and effective. It doesn’t have any pretension or “art” factor; it’s just fun rock ‘n’ roll hardcore music. Doomriders have songs about how much work sucks and lyrics about “Black Thunder” – the music is unobtrusive and not entirely unmemorable. The pairing of Doomriders and Boris forecasts a show that is best for those who like to rock. Both bands have it in them to put on a show and together promise to bring an evening of awesome music. Boris and Doomriders play Saturday, Sept. 14 at Satyricon. The show costs $12 DOS.

The construction industry had been one of the many sectors that were heavily affected by the pandemic. Due to the lockdowns, some companies found themselves closing or are on the verge of closing down. There’s no workaround since many construction works cannot simply be bought home, unlike those in the IT industry, for instance. Not all companies have locked down, though, and there will always be a need for construction. Some companies weathered the closures that happened during February through April of last year. Their saving grace had been that the state and local governments allowed a few projects to continue and eventually allowed for more participation of construction and maintenance companies. Remember, services such as cleaning roofs or repainting the house’s exteriors are still an essential task to take care of. With COVID-19 still around, though, there are safety measures that still need to be followed by the industry. Here’s a picture of what the new normal may look like and how the pandemic will shape the future of the industry. Growth of Construction Tech It was observed that construction startups were on the rise during the past few years. The problem, though, is that once the pandemic happened, these construction upstarts were among those that were forced to close down. Since the start of the pandemic, many contractors have found themselves turning to technology to keep up with the situation. It helps them keep their projects and monitor their workers, and screen those who are feeling under the weather. Owners who use the tech can also keep tabs with their stakeholders more easily. Many current technologies, like virtual and augmented reality, can help construction company owners finish their projects even during the pandemic. Modular Construction on the Rise The pandemic has forced companies to downsize their employees. From a workforce consisting of hundreds, some companies found themselves with just a few people working onsite. That’s a problem if there is a lot of work done, so companies found the solution by lessening work. How did they do that? Some companies have continued to accomplish work by using next-gen technology. Processes are streamlined and made more efficient, so no quality of work is sacrificed even if there are fewer workers. One way to do this is to use modular construction and off-site processes. Companies usually don’t sacrifice work and ensure the completion of projects using this method. AI-Powered Software Being Used to Monitor Sites During the lockdown, several jobs and companies can continue because they were transferable as remote work. Some companies have continued work as usual, while others had to take some time to transition to remote work. Eventually, they ended up just fine. Not all work can be taken home in construction sites, but the supervisor can still monitor work on these sites through video surveillance systems. These aren’t regular surveillance systems but are innovative ones powered by artificial intelligence. It also uses image processing to recognize workers in the field or whether they wear face masks and gloves. Paperless Documentation Becoming Common Paperless ideas have been tossed around as far as anyone can remember. However, not many companies are supportive of the idea, although some are welcome to the change. These companies have started using digital mediums over traditional paper documents. It’s not only for the environment; it’s for removing human contact. The same number of changes in different processes have been seen since the start of the pandemic. Many companies are doing it because of the human element; they’re protecting themselves, their employees, and their clients. Keeping Construction Sites Cleaner The construction industry prides itself on its ability to deliver on projects, not how companies keep their company sites clean. Each year, there are a rising number of workplace fatalities and a huge number of work-related injuries that happen because of it. It might look like things are improving this year, but that’s because of the deceptiveness done by fewer people working in different sites. The game of safety is different this year—companies are keeping their workers safe from COVID-19. It might also be good practice for the future. Companies might pick up from enforcing COVID-19 safety protocols and use that vigilance to enforce site safety protocols in a better way. Despite the pandemic situation, the future looks bright for the construction industry. Changes will happen as the situation continues and businesses adapt to survive the crisis. There might be a lot of significant improvements that companies can expect after everything returns to the new normal.

In late May, director Ava DuVernay tweeted a clip of Tye Anders, a 21-year-old black man in Texas, lying on the ground, terrified and in tears, as police stood over him with guns drawn. He had allegedly run a stop sign. “Can anyone identify these cops for me?” she asked. “I’m starting a new project.” Now DuVernay, whose acclaimed 2019 “When They See Us” miniseries documented the lives of the five teenagers wrongly imprisoned in the 1989 Central Park jogger case, is revealing that project, meant to spotlight police officers who have abused and murdered black people. The Law Enforcement Accountability Project (LEAP) will fund 25 projects — including film, theater, photography, poetry, music, sculpture and dance — over the next two years through DuVernay’s Array Alliance nonprofit. LEAP will have an initial budget of $3 million from contributors including the Ford Foundation and screenwriter-producer Ryan Murphy (“Glee,” “American Horror Story”). DuVernay says she had an epiphany after repeatedly watching the horrifying video of George Floyd’s death that was taken by 17-year-old Darnella Frazier. Frazier was walking her 9-year-old cousin to a corner store when she saw Floyd being pulled out of a car. She began filming police officer Derek Chauvin and Floyd, pinned under his knee for more than eight minutes. Chauvin, who has since been fired and charged with second-degree murder, stares into the camera as Floyd pleads to be released.

Opera Review: Galuppi’s “L’amante di tutte” — A Total Hoot! By Ralph P. Locke A delightful and compact opera — from a generation before Mozart — that cuts various social types down to size. Baldassare Galuppi: L’amante di tutte (The Man Who Loved Any Woman; 1786) Linda Campanella (Clarice), Paola Quagliata (Dorina), Paola Antonucci (Lucinda), Filippo Pina Castiglioni (Count Eugenio), Roberto Tura (Don Orazio), Corrado Margutti (Mingone). Piacenza Italian Philharmonic Orchestera, cond. Marco Fracassi. Bongiovanni 2318-3—78 minutes Click here to purchase or to listen to the beginning of each track. I have hailed various recently revived Classic-era operas here and in American Record Guide, including a marvelous comic one by Paisiello that is set in Boston, Le gare generose (1786). But this opera by Galuppi (1706-85) was composed 26 years earlier, in 1760, and, typically for works in the Early Classic Era, is far more compact. The arias and other numbers have none of the expansiveness so dear to opera lovers in works of Paisiello, Cimarosa, Haydn, Salieri, or Mozart. (Mozart was only four years old when this Galuppi opera reached the stage.) Two instances: A teasing duet for Dorina and Mingone (soprano and basso) is over in 40 seconds. I followed along with the manuscript (at IMSLP.org), and indeed the thing is a total of 10 measures long. Then, after a minute of recitative, Dorina sings an aria that lasts all of 2 minutes and 5 seconds. Even within that short span, her aria manages to flit from one rhythmic figure to another several times. The whole opera is constantly on the move and fits onto a single CD. Its music is almost continuously cheerful, except for an occasional brief turn to the minor. One lovely aria is a lament in Neapolitan style (almost entirely in the minor) for the servant Mingone (see below) begging forgiveness for having tricked his master. The conductor here nicely reduces the orchestra to one-on-a-part, increasing the (ironic) mood of sorrowful pleading. Various arias include humorous lists of enumerations: “one, two, three”; or “Spain, Italy, Europe, Asia, Africa, America.” (One sees here a tradition that Leporello’s Catalogue Aria will draw upon in Mozart’s Don Giovanni.) The second-act finale is more complex than the rest, and well worked out. All in all, I can see why the opera was so successful in its own day, achieving more than 20 productions in various cities and towns in its first decade. Alas, the record company, Bongiovanni, provides no essay, synopsis, or libretto, and the track list most often identifies only one character per track, even for a track in which several characters wrangle with each other in quick recitative. I was mostly lost at first. Enjoyably lost, it is true, since the singers are all native Italians and project well. Still, I could have used at least some background information, including indications of who is or are onstage at a given time and who each character is addressing or arguing with. (Maybe it’s me: I often confuse one light soprano with another.) A brief synopsis in OxfordMusicOnline.com helped me somewhat, telling me which of three women a given man was pursuing, conspiring with, or suspicious of at certain moments. I did finally locate online a printed libretto from 1770 that largely, though not completely, matches what is heard here. The detailed cast list reveals (write this down!) that Don Orazio is an elderly nobleman, Lucinda is his wife, Dorina is Lucinda’s maid, and Clarice is a donna affettata (presumably meaning a woman with somewhat affected or pretentious manners). Mingone is a peasant on the country estate of Don Orazio, where the action takes place. Count Eugenio is the opera’s title character, the “Lover of All Women.” The Marquis Canoppio (a third nobleman) has become impoverished but remains proud of his exalted rank. The opera ends with Don Orazio threatening to lock his wife up. She and the other characters kneel before Orazio and beg him to forgive the woman, who, they say, has now reformed. The haughty (though destitute) Marquis adds that his high social position should make it difficult for Orazio to refuse this request. Soon after, Orazio does comply, and everyone joins in a chorus of “Let bygones be bygones.” I found pleasure in listening to the work several times through, not least because the singers are clearly enjoying themselves. I particularly appreciated the performances of the two sopranos (Linda Campanella and Paola Quagliata). The other cast members manage their roles capably, though they are, to varying degrees, less firm of voice. The chamber orchestra plays delightfully, giving special pleasure in numbers that feature woodwind solos and string-orchestra pizzicatos. The recording was made during a staged performance in Piacenza in 2000, and the audience, too, is clearly having fun yet is, fortunately, quiet most of the time. Ah, but how much more we could have gained from the recording if there had been an essay, a full synopsis, an informative track list, and a libretto in the original and translation. Bongiovanni should remember the international community of CD collectors. The current release is already available to me—and probably to many of my readers—in a streamed version through Spotify or other services and, in my case at least, through my library’s Naxos Music Library subscription. Why, then, should we spend money to own the same recording on CDs and remain just as baffled? Still, there is much to be gleaned from the recording and the info that I provided above (or you can peek at the Italian libretto yourself at the link I give above). I recommend the recording heartily, and hope that it may also spur some productions from music-school and regional opera companies. This might include, in New England, Odyssey Opera (always looking for novel fare to promote), Boston Lyric Opera, and the opera studio at the New England Conservatory or other colleges and universities. An alert singing translation would make it a total hoot! Ralph P. Locke is emeritus professor of musicology at the University of Rochester’s Eastman School of Music. Six of his articles have won the ASCAP-Deems Taylor Award for excellence in writing about music. His most recent two books are Musical Exoticism: Images and Reflections and Music and the Exotic from the Renaissance to Mozart (both Cambridge University Press). Both are now available in paperback; the second, also as an e-book. Ralph Locke also contributes to American Record Guide and to the online arts-magazines New York Arts, Opera Today, and The Boston Musical Intelligencer. His articles have appeared in major scholarly journals, in Oxford Music Online (Grove Dictionary), and in the program books of major opera houses, e.g., Santa Fe (New Mexico), Wexford (Ireland), Glyndebourne, Covent Garden, and the Bavarian State Opera (Munich). The review first appeared, in a somewhat shorter version, in American Record Guide and is posted here by kind permission.

News & Updates Maiden New Zealand Secondary Schools Championship makes major impact With the 50th anniversary of the New Zealand Secondary Schools Track & Field Championships set to be toasted in Christchurch next month (8-10 December) we take a look back through the eyes of four competing athletes to the inaugural event, which took place at QE II Stadium in December 1973. For Kim Robertson winning the senior girls 100m and 200m double at the 1973 New Zealand Secondary Schools Track & Field Championships was the trigger for everything the gifted sprinter achieved in her subsequent career. Aucklander Kim would go to represent her country three times at the Commonwealth Games, she set a New Zealand senior women’s 400m record of 51.60 in 1980 – which still stands today – and in 1985 won a 200m bronze medal at the World Indoor Games – the precursor to the World Indoor Championships. Yet it was competing at QEII Stadium in December 1973 which lit the fuse for Kim and acted as the kick-start for more than a decade of performing on the international stage. “All I’d previously done prior to the 1973 secondary schools champs was train in children’s athletics at Hillsborough Junior Athletics Club and later at Epsom Girls’ Grammar School,” explains Kim. “But running and winning at those championship made me realise I could do a lot better in athletics. I knew the ability was there. My mum was a wonderful runner, and my dad was a great league player. It was post these championships I was introduced to a coach, Tim McIntyre, who was aged 90 at that time but who had more New Zealand sprint champions than anyone else. Winning (at the 1973 NZ Secondary Schools Athletics Championships) which started everything off. To become the fastest secondary school girl in the country was special.” Running back then without a coach, the event was far bigger than she had ever previously been involved with and it left Kim feeling “very nervous.” However, she managed to control any apprehension she may have felt to secure a hugely impressive double, winning the 100m in an impressive 11.66 and 200m in 23.95. “I was probably more of a 200m runner, and I was most proud of this performance because it was a Secondary School record that stood for a long time. The 100m was a fast time too,” adds Kim now aged 66, who works in the winery business near Sacramento, California. Aged 16 at the time her performance caught the eye of selectors for the 1974 Commonwealth Games in Christchurch and she was picked to compete for her country back at the QEII Stadium just eight weeks later in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay. Kim, who exited the heats of the 100m, 200m and finished fifth in the 4x100m relay, has many cherished memories of competing at that iconic event and adds: “It was mind-blowing (to win selection) I stayed down in Christchurch with my great aunt for eight weeks after secondary schools which was a long time to be away from my parents. The Games were way out of my realm, and I’d never stayed in an Athletes’ Village before. It was a great experience to eat the food in the village and to room with another athlete. I shared with Lorraine Moller (the 1992 Olympic marathon bronze medallist) who was wonderful. I had so many vivid memories of the Games of watching Dick Tayler win, John Walker take on Filbert Bayi in the 1500m and the great Raelene Boyle sprint to three gold medals.” Terry Lomax may today be best known as one of New Zealand’s pre-eminent coaches yet for the Christchurch local the inaugural New Zealand Secondary Schools Track & Field Championships evoke a kaleidoscope of happy memories as he secured the junior boys high jump title with a best of 1.85m. Starting athletics at the age of seven and taking up the high jump around the age of “nine or 10”, Terry had already been immersed in the sport for more than half his life when he competed at the 1973 New Zealand Secondary Schools Championships. And the enormity and significance of the event was not wasted on the man who has guided Hamish Kerr to the New Zealand high jump record and 2022 Commonwealth gold. “It was a huge deal because it was tied in with the Commonwealth Games which was coming up and it was the first all-weather track we’d had in Canterbury. This meet expanded the horizons in terms of my athletics possibilities.” Having improved his high jump PB during the early part of the 1973-74 summer season by 16cm – up to 1.80m – prior to the first ever New Zealand Secondary Schools Track & Field Championships he was optimistic of a good showing. However, facing a huge field of 57 competitors in a competition which was drawn out over more than three-and-a-half hours there was always a sense of the unknown. “The whole atmosphere was dynamic,” recalls Terry. “We had something like 2500 athletes competing and I remember heat after heat of the 100m. Organisers ran them every two minutes with no computers back then just a pen and paper and back up stopwatches. During the event they trialled many of the systems used at the Commonwealth Games just eight weeks later. I’m sure they would have known getting through an event of such intensity with so many athletes across a two-day programme would have given them the assurance they needed that they could also handle a Commonwealth Games.” With the heights raised by 5cm at a time, Terry, a Christchurch Boys’ High School student at that time, proved the cream of the pack with a third time clearance and PB of 1.85m securing gold. “The fact I jumped higher than the senior boys’ high jump winner (Kieran McKee, a close friend of Terry) showed to me that I am decent at the event. Back then I did several events, I hurdled, I ran the 4x400m relay but Christchurch gave me that nudge in the direction of high jump. Later that season I finished fifth or sixth at the last ever single event New Zealand Junior Championships (it later merged into the main programme with the seniors) and I ended the season ranked in the top ten high jumpers in the country.” Dianne Rodger went on to enjoy an outstanding senior career, which included two Olympic appearances and World Cross Country team medals but one of her greatest early successes arrived at those inaugural New Zealand Secondary Schools Track & Field Championships in Christchurch. Aged 17 at the time the Colenso High School student – then Dianne Zorn – had carved out a reputation as one of the country’s leading young cross country runners but her journey down from Hawke’s Bay to Canterbury was a step into the unknown as she flew down thanks to event sponsors Mt Cook Airlines entered both the 400m and 800m (the latter event the longest event on the programme for female athletes at that time). “I was totally blind to what might happen,” recalls Dianne, who had to sit an exam on the Thursday before the competition at Canterbury University. “I remember getting through my 800m heat and I knew I had a hard 800m final to come. I was entered in the 400m, and I am no 400m runner, so I recall just about walking down the home straight of the 400m to get myself out of the race. “It was the first time I’d raced on a proper all-weather track in a vast stadium. I remember my legs after racing felt very sore because it impacts on the legs differently to grass.” Pitched in against Allison Deed (now Allison Roe) who went on to win the Boston and New York City Marathons, Dianne knew she faced a tough battle for gold. However, the Napier-based teenager repelled the challenge to strike gold by a margin of more than one-and-a-half seconds to take top spot on the podium from Deed in a slick 2:10.67. “I don’t remember too much of the race, although it is certainly a good feeling to be New Zealand champion,” said Rodger, who later placed fifth at the 1982 World Cross Country Championships and ninth in the 3000m final at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. “I have kept a newspaper clipping of the event which said “the battle of the blondes” or something like that. Winning the secondary school title (which she went on to defend the following year) gave me the incentive to do more.” As current Chair/President of the New Zealand Secondary Schools Athletics Association, Tony Rogers has a deep affinity with its annual track and field championship – a bond first forged at the inaugural event. Aged 16 at the time the Fairfield College student based out of Hamilton was entered in the senior boys’ 800m and was blown away for the scale and enormity of the event. “It was the first time I’d ever been to the South Island, the first time I’d ever run in a stadium like QEII and the first time I’d run on a soft rubber chip all-weather track. For me, it was a big trip. There was more than 2000 entrants, which was amazing. The whole event was a massive undertaking.” A first-year senior at the time, Tony did not harbour any huge ambitions of success and at his first crack at the championship was eliminated in the semi-finals of the 800m. Just eight weeks after exiting the semifinals he recalls watching the Commonwealth Games at the same QEII Stadium. “It was awe-inspiring to watch the Games in colour TV – the first time New Zealand had broadcast in colour,” he explains. “The event etched a big place in my heart and made me aspire to be a John Walker, Rod Dixon or Dick Tayler.” He returned to compete at the 1974 New Zealand Secondary Schools Track & Field Championships a better and more motivated runner and duly clinched gold in the senior boys’ 800m final, recording a rapid 1:55.6. Tony would go on to enjoy an accomplished international career finishing ninth in the men’s 1500m final at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and now as Chair/President of the New Zealand Secondary Schools Athletics Association he can look back with pride that the annual event is 50 not out. “I would never have thought back in 1973 I would have an involvement in the sport as an athlete, coach and administrator for 50 years. But competing at that first New Zealand Secondary Schools Championship definitely gave my athletics career a real impetus.” - Fab four announced in initial athletics team for Paralympics - Versatile Angus hopes to shine at Aussie Champs - Lisa Adams calls time on golden career - Weekly Round Up: 8 April - Weekly Round Up: 2 April - Lund and Grgec lead New Zealand charge in World Cross - New Zealand team all set for World Cross challenge in Serbia

The Importance of Posture Correction in Chiropractic Care: Improving Alignment and Reducing Pain Good posture is essential for maintaining a healthy spine but is often neglected daily. Poor posture can cause muscle imbalances, joint dysfunction, and spinal misalignments, leading to pain and discomfort. Chiropractic care can help fix these issues, but it is essential to understand the importance of posture correction in chiropractic care to achieve the best results. Understanding the Importance of Posture Posture is the position in which we hold our bodies while standing, sitting, or lying down. Good posture ensures that our bones, joints, and muscles are correctly aligned, lessening the stress on our joints and muscles. Conversely, poor posture can lead to chronic pain, headaches, and digestive issues. It can also cause fatigue, muscle tension, and reduced lung capacity. Chiropractic Care and Posture Correction Chiropractic care is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders, including the spine. Chiropractors use various techniques to correct spinal misalignments, including spinal manipulation, massage therapy, and exercise. Posture correction is an essential component of chiropractic care. Chiropractors assess a patient’s posture to identify misalignments, muscle imbalances, or joint dysfunction. They then develop a customized treatment plan to correct these issues, including spinal adjustments, soft tissue manipulation, and exercise therapy. Benefits of Posture Correction in Chiropractic Care Correcting posture can have several benefits, including: Pain relief – Poor posture can cause muscle tension, joint dysfunction, and spinal misalignments, ultimately leading to pain and discomfort. Correcting posture can alleviate these issues and reduce pain. Improved mobility – Correcting posture can enhance joint mobility, allowing for a better range of motion and flexibility. Enhanced breathing – Good posture allows optimal lung capacity, improving breathing and oxygen intake. Increased energy – Good posture reduces muscle tension and fatigue, increasing energy and vitality. Prevention of future injuries – Correcting posture can prevent injuries by reducing stress on joints and muscles and improving spinal alignment. In conclusion, posture correction is an essential component of chiropractic care. Poor posture can cause pain and discomfort, but correcting posture can alleviate these issues and improve overall health and well-being. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort, consider visiting a chiropractor to assess your posture and develop a customized treatment plan to correct any issues. Atlas Injury to Health’s primary objective is to provide tailored, effective care to every patient.

Above the Arctic Circle, near the East Siberian Sea and far into the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug of Russia, is the Kupol Gold Mine. It is located in a notoriously isolated part of the world. Under Stalin, gulags were established in the region, many of which were used to mine for natural resources. Deposits of gold were first discovered in the 1940s. In 2005, construction began on Kupol. The gateway city to Kupol is Magadan, once the administrative center for the forced labor camp system. From Magadan, it’s still a two-hour flight across a frozen landscape to reach the mine. Provisions for the 1,200 workers who live there are ordered two years in advance, and then carried along the 220-mile ice road that only exists between January and April. The rest of the year, Kupol is just accessible by air. In winter, temperatures there can drop as low as -31 degrees Fahrenheit. Yet within this hostile climate, the mine, which produces gold and silver doré bars, functions as a both a workplace and a home. Its facilities include a gym, a billiards hall, and a library. There is a rock band of workers that plays at the café, and a greenhouse for fresh salad. Russian photographer Elena Chernyshova stayed at Kupol for 10 days to document the mine. Her photographs are a captivating study of humans working in unusually challenging conditions. Atlas Obscura spoke with Chernyshova about her time there, the appeal of shooting at “a lunar station in a lifeless landscape,” and the complicated logistics of making art in one of the world’s coldest and most remote regions. What appealed to you about traveling to Siberia in winter to photograph a vast mining operation? I am very interested by the Northern areas of Russia, industrial explorations, and the lives of people in these conditions. The idea of this project began with journalist Andrey Jouravlev, who worked for National Geographic Russia. He met airport workers from the Kupol gold mine, and was impressed by their stories about their work process, maintenance of the complex in such complicated climate conditions, and isolation. He knew of my work about Norilsk [the world’s northernmost city of more than 100,000 people], and that I had experience working in cold weather conditions and on industrial sites, and invited me to join him to work on this story. Given its remoteness and temperatures, how did you travel to the mine, and what was the journey like? Kupol gold mine is situated in the region of Chukotka, in northeast Russia, just opposite to Alaska. There are no roads linking the site with other regions of Russia. To get there we took a flight from Moscow to Magadan. Than we had to take a company airplane that brings the workers to the site. The flight takes two hours. The airplane was quite small and had just a few windows in the front and back of the aircraft cabin. You can hear loud engines but can’t see outside. When we were landing, the pilot allowed me to stay in the cabin and take photos. It is magical– white deserts with the soft rose light of sunrise. The Kupol mine resembles a lunar station in a lifeless landscape. When we arrived at the site’s airport, the bags of every passenger were scanned–it is forbidden to bring alcohol to the site. If it is found, a worker can be dismissed directly. How long did you spend photographing the mine? I stayed 10 days on the site. It’s a very big complex. During my stay we visited Kupol, the factory, and Dvoinoye, a mine 100 kilometers away. We had also a chance to drive along the winter road that links Kupol with Pevek, an international port on the Arctic Ocean, the main logistic artery of the company. Kinross [the company that owns the mine] creates this road every year for six months during the winter period. During this period it is possible to bring in all 4,000 containers and 60,000 tons of oils and lubricants that accumulate in the port during the short navigation period. The whole route is marked by reflective pegs and road signs, and the roadbed is cleaned of snow and constantly renewed: refrozen with the help of sprinkler wagons where water is heated by a tail pipe. What kind of preparations did you need to make for your equipment, and for shooting in limited hours of daylight and underground? I had no particular preparation. After my experience in Norilsk, where I had to shoot sometimes in -45 degrees, or +95 degrees in the sauna, or 800 meters under the ground, I have a certain confidence to my camera. It is more important to prepare yourself, to be really well dressed. On the site people gave us additional coats and pants to make sure we never got cold. The most complicated is the protection for hands. I had several gloves of different thicknesses, so I could change settings on the camera. It is important to have several batteries: with low temperature the power goes fast. When the battery expired, I warmed it in the inner pocket so I could use it again. I had two cameras, one for shooting outside and another for inside. When we went from the low temperature inside, it was important to put the camera in a hermetic bag and give it time to adapt to warm temperatures, to avoid condensation that can damage the electronic system. For the low light, it is good to have a tripod for working in dark industrial spaces. There are lots of sources of light from big machines that can create very beautiful scenes. How deep into the mine did you travel? Many people would find this terrifying–what was that experience like the first time you did it? I have been 400 meters underground. I love this experience, and find it thrilling: long dark tunnels with bright spots of light from our car, unexpected spaces of excavation, huge machines that drill or dig, that if necessary, can be operated with the help of the remote console. The scale of work is impressive. What was the atmosphere among the miners, given the language barriers, close living conditions and intense work schedule? I found the atmosphere very positive. People are friendly. The working days are intense and hard, but the company provides possibilities to have a good rest. Workers stay on the site for two months, afterwards they have two months of rest. The working day is 12 hours, no weekend. Life conditions are good: the company provides food with a wide choice of dishes, cleaning of rooms, and clothes. During their free time workers can go to the gym, play mini-football, billiards, ping-pong, watch TV, and there is even a rock cafe where a rock band of local worker-musicians plays. There is a good internet connection, so they can be connected with their family and friends. Among the Russian and Ukrainian workers, did any of them share stories of Soviet-era mining vs. present-day Kupol? People remember the Gulag era and gold exploration under Stalin well, but it is not a usual topic of discussion. Was there anything about the mine that you weren’t expecting? I was not expecting to see a garden of hydroponics that provides up to 25 kilograms of greenery a day for the canteen.

At the same location I had only done the online escape the room puzzles so had a tiny idea of what to expect and had very high expectations as I was with a social group, but I didn't realise the real life version would be so much fun.Cathchambers We selected Robbery in the Cottage for both our groups and were competing at the same time. I love lateral thinking and challenging puzzles, but even if people had a bit more of a tough time solving some, communication with the staff using the walkie talkie provided was encouraged. We only needed it a few times and every time we solved the next clue (which had been thought out very well) and discovered something to take us to the next step excited us very much. We finished with 8 minutes to spare. We felt very proud of ourselves. Cannot recommend this place and the staff highly enough. Very enjoyable :D Book now with the promo code WOE5 and get a 5% discount!As the sole heir to the family fortune, it's up to you and your team of detectives to solve the crime.

Sunil Gupta: From Here to Eternity "What does it mean to be a gay Indian man? This is the question that follows me around everywhere I go and is still ever present in my work" Joint winner of the 2021 Kraszna-Krausz Photography Book Award From Here to Eternity traces Sunil Gupta’s life through his personal archive: the snapshots, postcards, letters, posters, and news clippings collected during his long career in photography and activism. These fragments of ephemera are annotated with Gupta’s handwritten notes, mapping a four-decade-long journey investigating the question what does it mean to be a gay Indian man? Moments from protests, the black arts movement in Britain, the fight for representation in photography and beyond, and Gupta’s work around queer visibility in India are shared – alongside mementoes from friends, family and relationships. What emerges is a powerful, and deeply personal, record of the artist’s struggles, victories, and a life lived through the complex politics of social change.

As we all know, people are pretty much on their phones 24/7 nowadays. With eyeballs constantly on mobile devices as opposed to more traditional media sources like TVs or billboards, the tablet/smartphone-sphere is definitely an appealing realm for marketers to try and be a part of. Most modern digital resources integrate with mobile platforms relatively smoothly but the technology is constantly evolving and small business owners should try to stay on top of mobile marketing trends, such as those listed below: According to a recent Forbes.com article, the next few months should see an increase in the amount of “Augmented Reality” on mobile devices. The advent of 5G technology will make smartphones faster than ever before and this will allow customers to tour virtual stores, check out hotel facilities, and experience a number of other virtual elements without having to physically engage with them. The increasingly-cluttered world wide web has also led to greater difficulties for marketers to obtain consistently strong organic mobile search results from Google. In order to break through the mobile clutter, advertisers are experimenting with different methods for optimizing their SEO efforts – it’s an evolving art/science that sees constant algorithm changes. Given that smartphones are largely seen as an extension of one’s self, personalization is increasingly becoming important to marketers in the mobile arena. With Artificial Intelligence beginning to infiltrate the tech landscape, it will become increasingly easy for sophisticated computer programs to tailor content towards individual smartphone users, meaning anything not customized will be relegated to SPAM status and ignored.

Aston Martin’s successor to the DBS has been spotted ahead of an expected debut in the second half of the year. The new car appears to share little design-wise with the DBS, but under the hood should be the same twin-turbocharged V-12 that powers the DBS and a handful of other Aston Martins. Kia was also spotted testing a midsize pickup truck expected to be called the Tasman. The pickup isn’t likely to be sold in the U.S. Instead, Kia is planning an electric pickup for our market. It should arrive by 2027. Bugatti recently confirmed that its new hypercar to replace the Chiron will pack a V-16 hybrid powertrain. The V-16 is the brainchild of Rimac founder Mate Rimac, and he and his team started developing the engine even before he was granted the reins at Bugatti by its former Volkswagen Group parent. You’ll find these stories and more in today’s car news, right here at Motor Authority. 2025 Aston Martin DBS successor spied with radical new look 2025 Kia Tasman midsize pickup spied for first time Bugatti CEO reveals prototype of Chiron successor’s V-16 Review: 2024 Lexus TX 350 gets the 8-year-old nod Saudi Arabia shows plans for new F1 circuit boasting wild design Google-backed Gravity claims fastest EV charging in America High-performance hybrids from Hyundai N possible, says senior exec Review: 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata Karma to offer updated Revero hybrid alongside new EVs Analysts: 40% drop in 2023-2025 EV battery prices will boost sales

Razer Synapse 22.214.171.1244 and earlier uses weak permissions for the CrashReporter directory, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse dbghelp.dll file. The product specifies permissions for a security-critical resource in a way that allows that resource to be read or modified by unintended actors. - Run the code in a “jail” or similar sandbox environment that enforces strict boundaries between the process and the operating system. This may effectively restrict which files can be accessed in a particular directory or which commands can be executed by the software. - OS-level examples include the Unix chroot jail, AppArmor, and SELinux. In general, managed code may provide some protection. For example, java.io.FilePermission in the Java SecurityManager allows the software to specify restrictions on file operations. - This may not be a feasible solution, and it only limits the impact to the operating system; the rest of the application may still be subject to compromise. - Be careful to avoid CWE-243 and other weaknesses related to jails.

By enabling Spotify’s private session, you can hide your listening activity from your followers. We’ll show you how to turn on this feature in Spotify on desktop and mobile. What Is a Private Session on Spotify? By default, Spotify shows your listening activity to your followers. If you’d rather keep your activity private, you can use a private session. When you are in a private session, Spotify doesn’t record your listening activity. Everything you listen to in this session remains private. In addition, Spotify doesn’t use any data from private sessions in its algorithms to recommend you new music. RELATED: How to Discover New Music on Spotify As of this writing in September 2021, Spotify’s web version doesn’t support private sessions. To enable a private session on your iPhone, iPad, or Android phone, first, launch the Spotify app on your phone. At the bottom of the Spotify app, tap “Home.” On the “Home” screen, from the top-right corner, select the “Settings” option (a gear icon). In “Settings”, scroll down to the “Social” section. Here, toggle on the “Private Session” option. And that’s it. You’re now in a private session. Whatever music tracks you listen to here, your followers will not see them in Friend Activity. To turn off the private session, access the “Settings” menu and toggle off the “Private Session” option. To enter a private session in Spotify on your Windows, Mac, or Linux computer, first, launch the Spotify app on your computer. In the Spotify app, at the top, click your name. From the menu that opens after clicking your name, select “Private Session.” Beside your name at the top of the Spotify app, you’ll now see a padlock icon. This confirms you have successfully entered a private session. When you’d like to come out of the private session, simply click your name at the top of the Spotify app and choose “Private Session” from the menu. And that’s how you keep your music taste a mystery! You might also want to clear your recently played list on Spotify to leave no traces of your music activity. It’s equally easy to do that.

Since the election in November, we’ve turned our attention to how to live (and possibly even thrive?) in a society that’s deeply out of balance. Last week, I asserted that most people in our society are unhappy most of the time. Let me assert today that a society made up of mostly unhappy people is far more likely to seek out conflict rather than cooperation than one comprised of people who are in balance. Consider, for example, President Trump’s decision last week to pull the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Agreement. A recent national poll found that seven out of ten Americans support remaining in the agreement, and that a majority of self-identified Democrats, Republicans and independents all want to stay in the accord. Trump’s decision to pull the country out of the accord, contrary to what a majority of Americans want, reflects my essential point that as a people out of balance, we are prone to or even seek out conflict. Trump, as someone who thrives in chaos, seeks (one hopes unconsciously) to sow seeds of chaos. So what do we do about it? How do we alter that dynamic? If people out of balance are far more likely to seek conflict rather than cooperation, and if our society is succumbing to the impact of constant conflict, indeed, appears to be descending into chaos (and would you dare to claim otherwise?), then the single most radical and effective thing we can do as individuals is to short-circuit that dynamic by seeking balance within ourselves.

Soaring Eagle recognizes that families usually travel together even if only one person is interested in gambling. To make sure that everyone is having a great vacation, they have Kid’s Quest – an area with games and activities for all ages. When many people think of casinos, they imagine the ones from movies like Ocean’s Eleven. The average casino that you see in a movie is massive, decorated with marble and glass, and on the Las Vegas Strip. Your average small-town casino is not going to have champagne servers and a black-tie dress code. HotelsCombined is part of Booking Holdings Inc., the world leader in online travel & related services. New England offers a ton of activities for families, from hiking and fishing to sailing, skiing and swimming.

The largest casino in Africa is the Rio Casino Resort in South Africa. Rio Casino has the main casino floor with 374 slot machines and 12 tables. That means that Venetian Macau can accommodate between 4,800 and 7,200 players at the tables alone. Chinese gamblers tend to be more interested in table games like baccarat, poker, and sic bo, so it makes sense that this casino devotes so much of its floor space to tables. - Still, WinStar’s square feet of casino floor space dwarfs it’s much more famous cousins in Las Vegas. - Guests can take a break in one of its four swimming pools, or take gondola rides just like in the real Venice in Italy. - HotelsCombined is part of Booking Holdings Inc., the world leader in online travel & related services. - It has nearly 550,000 square feet of gaming space, plus almost 10 million square feet for hotels, conventions, and entertainment. - Inside the casino we have a variety of luxuries and more, we have three huge malls you can shop anything swimming pools for freshening up and a variety of delicacies available in the restaurants there. - It has 1,500 slot machines, but most gaming space is dedicated to 450 tables.

Legal 18+ Online Casinos For Oklahoma Residents In 2022 The state’s casinos lost 34% of their expected income between January and July last year.

Since then, the Sooner state has been helping expand this industry left, right and center. This casino has 4,400 slot machines and almost 100 table games. WinStar World Casino has a fitting name since it takes visitors on a tour around the world. Each section of the casino is designed to resemble a different famous city, including Beijing, Cairo, Berlin, Rio, and Paris. There are over 6,000 slot machines and over 100 tables with 55 tables for poker. Top Oklahoma Casinos with Hotels Located near Sacramento, Thunder Valley brings a bit of Las Vegas to California.

ALMOST one week after holding a press conference to call for internal elections in the United National Congress (UNC), Mayaro MP Rushton Paray says he will no longer engage the media on the issue. His statement comes after his press conference at the auditorium of the Couva Chamber of Commerce on March 22, his UNC political leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar saying that he was a financier of the People’s National Movement (PNM) and Oropouche MP Dr Roodal Moonilal noting that Paray “absconded” from at least two meetings with Persad-Bissessar. On Wednesday, Paray issued the following statement: “After carefully considering the various statements made by my fellow Parliamentary colleagues, I am opting not to engage in the internal party elections through the media. “I maintain an open line of communication with all my colleagues. My contact information, including my mobile number and email address, remains unchanged, and I welcome direct dialogue at any time. “I appreciate the attention given to this significant matter by both the party membership and the nation as a whole. I have advocated for the internal elections to proceed in accordance with our constitution, and I eagerly await the announcement of the election date. I reaffirm my steadfast loyalty and dedication to the United National Congress.”

The Indie Design GAL on Ravelry (full details can be found here; note that you will have to be logged into Ravelry for the link to work) is a little beyond its halfway mark, so I thought I'd show you my latest knit for it, a new Rudi jumper for 2014. My first Rudi jumper was knitted a couple of years ago for my son when a school friend suggested that we all wear 'awful' Christmas jumpers for our Christmas reunion dinner. As we were taking my son to the dinner I thought I'd play along by knitting him a super-cute Christmas sweater, and Rudi is what I came up with. It was my first attempt at designing a jumper, and I'm still really pleased with how it turned out. A couple of weeks ago my son was looking at my designs on Ravelry, and asked me if he could have a new reindeer jumper. The last week in November is not the best time to receive a request for a Christmas jumper (even if it's worn every day in December, it still only gets 31 days wear; by January Christmas jumpers don't tend to get much wear, and he's growing so fast it won't fit next year), but how could I refuse such a request? Having hunted through the stash and discovering that I didn't have several of the colours in the right weight a trip to a yarn store was necessary. As the yarn was for a children's jumper I didn't want to spend too much money, so took a trip to Boye's (a local-ish chain of hardware/haberdasher/clothing, etc. stores that sell a good variety of inexpensive yarn lines) with my son in tow. We quickly accumulated the yarn we needed, my son choosing a big ball of green as the main colour (I personally would have chosen something a bit brighter, but I guess he's growing up), and paid before I could buy anything else. I love knitting with aran weight yarn, it seems to hit the sweet spot for my knitting and projects grow really quickly, and managed to knit the back and sleeves in one evening each. The front took a little longer as I had to incorporate the picture, but was still done in a couple of days, and whole jumper was finished on December 1st, just in time for my son to wear for his first nursery day of December. The jumper is a hit, with my son wearing it three days in a row last week (admittedly it had to be washed twice during those two days, I was so glad I'd gone for some yarn that dried quickly!). I think I'll have to make the next size up for next year, but maybe I should start before the last week in November! Handily I have enough yarn leftover from this one that I won't need to buy any more for next year's.

The visually spellbinding movie depicts [the French Foreign Legion’s] rigorous drills and rituals as ecstatic rites of purification and the embodiment of an impenetrable masculine mystique. . . . Not to be missed.New York Times Denis Lavant, Michel Subor, Grégoire Colin, Richard Courcet, A story of French Legionnaires isolated in a blisteringly beautiful African setting (Djibouti and surrounds), Beau travail evokes Camus’s The Stranger as much as it does Melville’s Billy Budd, on which it is abstractly based. This is the Foreign Legion of the 1990s, superfluous to anything but its almost spiritual rituals of loyalty and rigor. The rigor plays out in dancelike exercises and in simple activities like the pressing of a uniform into elegant creases. But loyalty, as in Melville, is a complex of suppressed eroticism and violence, as Sgt. Galoup (Denis Lavant) indulges a paranoid, irrational hatred for a beautiful young recruit, Sentain (Grégoire Colin), who he imagines will kill the commanding officer, Forester (Michel Subor). In this film, Denis effectively hypnotizes us, transforming what is, after all, a detachment of unemployed boys who have fled France for a colonial netherworld—a dream long since awakened from—into a dance of beauty, passion, and sadness. Nice work, if you can get it.

By Art Gillis Thirty years ago, banks were hurting because the basic core applications were weak and lacking in, the now famous overused brochure word, robustness. Today one DDA system is like any other. That goes for any core application save maybe commercial lending. So how do banks choose a better core system? By looking at the applications surrounding core. An example of that presented itself during my program called, "Makin' the Rounds." Some people call it, "Ya gotta get out more." My job is to get out and look at what's new in the vendor offerings department. This year's season opener took place at Jack Henry & Associates. JHA has introduced a new piece to their technology pie. They call it ProfitStars. I call it the brain behind all the good stuff JHA has been building for the past 30 years. In a previous blog, I referred to this kind of capability as the penthouse. You can't get there unless you built a strong foundation and added several stories of functionality. For the past two years, JHA has been making acquisitions of another kind, but with a game plan. They packaged these systems under an umbrella of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) for smoother integration with the core. Included are Asset/Liability Management, Profitability, Risk Management, Database, Compliance, Fraud Detection, and All Kinds of Retrieval Opportunities that any thinking person in a bank can use. No custom programming, thank you. Data and transaction factories at banks have been doing the job pretty well for a couple of decades. The "engineering" piece now let's a banker investigate performance to get the best return for the resources used. For those nagging bankers in my life who have been asking, "Are we there yet?" I think I can finally say YES.

Phil Harding (Co-founder) shares the story behind the business. Tidal Rum is a golden aged rum infused with oak smoked pepper dulse foraged at low tide in Jersey. Harry and Ben from Tidal Rum are on a mission to elevate the rum category. With Tidal Rum they want to celebrate the complexities and subtleties of this spirit by making it your first drink of the night, not the last. The draw of the ocean inspired them to create a coastal craft rum. It’s infused with the subtle truffle flavour of Jersey’s Pepper Dulse, a rare sea botanical foraged at low tide from along the Jersey shoreline. It’s a journey that begins in the Caribbean and finishes in Jersey, a spirit kissed by the tide that calls to the adventurer in us all.

Representative Offices vs Market Research Solutions Date Posted:Wed, 11th Jul 2018 Is the establishment of a Representative office the best way to analyse the UAE market? Before deciding whether to enter the UAE market or committing substantial resources into a new venture, it is essential to conduct market research and feasibility studies to analyse the market, obtain information on potential competitors and gather valuable insight into whether there is a need for the service or product you are offering. As part of researching the market, the decision may be made to establish a Representative Office in the UAE which enables foreign companies to promote and market their products but restricts businesses in the sense that they are not allowed to earn profits. The establishment of a representative office will provide companies with an insight into how well received their product will be in the UAE; however, it is essential to understand the costs of setting up a representative office. In the UAE, a representative office has the legal status of a “Foreign Branch” which is an entity owned 100% by a foreign company and classed as an extension of the foreign company, but it is not permitted to earn profits. As it is with the establishment of a foreign branch, there is a need to have an Emirati Local Service Agent who can be an Emirati Individual or a Limited Liability Company wholly owned by Emiratis. In addition to the local sponsor, there is also a requirement to deposit a bank guarantee of AED 50,000 into the representative office bank account which is payable to the UAE Ministry of Economy, and there is a requirement to have office space before obtaining your license. Establishing a representative office in the UAE can be a cost-effective way of entering the UAE market, and it is a powerful marketing tool for your foreign business. However, although the outlay may be lower, there are still significant costs involved and cause business owners to look elsewhere for a more cost-efficient and practical option. At JacksonMSV, our team have over 15 years proven experience in providing solutions to foreign companies to enable them to conduct their market research studies and promote their product with a view of determining whether their service offering will be successful. Under our “Market Research Solution”, JacksonMSV provide foreign companies with the ability to send a company representative to the UAE in order to legally conduct the market research onshore in the Emirate of Dubai, the option of utilising our premium office space at the iconic Fairmont Hotel so that all administrative tasks can be completed, the ability to invoice through JacksonMSV in addition to the completion of all necessary VAT submissions and a business service package which includes mail collection, serviced reception and a dedicated PO Box and telephone number. The Market Research Solution that JacksonMSV offer is the most cost-effective and efficient way to analyse the UAE market and market your product before starting your UAE venture.

France targets to attain 50% economic immigration France on Monday fixed itself a target according to which economic immigration will represent 50% of the registered immigrants who wish to settle permanently in France. France will authorize a certain number of immigrants to settle in the country, while insisting on them to “respect our values” and “controlling the extent of migratory waves,” according to a “letter of mission” from French President Nicolas Sarkozy which was submitted to French immigration and national identity minister Brice Hortefeux. Family groupings in France will be subordinate, from then onwards, to having an accommodation and sufficient incomes to sustain a family. New arrivals coming for family groupings must sit for a French language test and sign a mandatory reception and integration contract. The new minister for immigration is charged with “reinforcing and deepening selective immigration policy” and to define a management policy for migratory influx at the European level, notably the creation of an “European border police” and strengthening of European cooperation in the field of forcible repatriation and prohibition of massive regularizations. The government expects to change its modalities of hosting foreign students, by diversifying their origins and recruiting more students in scientific disciplines. It also intends to establish permanent visas enabling a two-way movement of foreign students returning to their countries of origin, and to facilitate the issuance of business visas. President Sarkozy's idea is to have a clear development assistance policy in immigration source countries, “in the light of controlling migratory influx.” Development assistance will be part of agreements on concerted immigration to be signed with the countries of origin. The government also commits itself to curb illegal immigration more efficiently. Regularizations will be implemented on the basis of “case by case, in exception cases, only if humanitarian reasons justifies it.” (people.com.cn) SUPPORT THE BUDAPEST BUSINESS JOURNAL Producing journalism that is worthy of the name is a costly business.

WHAT TO DO IN THE AREA Bed and Breakfast Marrum is located within short driving distance of several major cities. But of course there is much more to do in Frieland! Wander through the cozy streets of the city that tell you the most beautiful stories about its historical past. Wander along romantic canals, taking you past hidden gems. Wandering through Leeuwarden is wonderfully beautiful. The northernmost city in the Netherlands has a rich history, but has two feet in the clay. A down-to-earth but hip town, where you can enjoy shopping and lounging after a short walk. With the Wadden Sea and the Lauwersmeer area as its nature-rich backyard, a week is soon too short to make all the trips that this High North has to offer from Dokkum. It’s not at the end of the world, but you can see it from there. The inspired past of the city of Franeker is reflected in the center, with its grand monuments and small historical gems. The Franeker church has its own garden, with a fountain depicting the birthplace of comets, and in the house of a simple cloud comb, you’ll find the oldest working planetarium in the world. Harlingen is the only seaport city in Friesland where wind and water are the law. Lovers of a glorious, nautical past will discover here the beautiful warehouses, great facades and special inner harbors and atmospheric streets. Drachten and its surroundings offer everything you need for a vacation or a day out. In and around the center is a varied range of stores, you’ll find the nicest terraces and beautiful routes along historic buildings. Also for entertainment such as theater, movies and events, you are in the right place in Drachten. In the vicinity you will find National Park De Alde Feanen and the Drents-Friese Wold with forest, heath and shifting sands and of course the Frisian lakes. For a brief moment in the fifteenth century, Sneek was allowed to be the capital of Friesland. Logical, if you are the Central Station for all Frisian water traffic. That centerpiece is still Sneek, and the annual Sneekweek reminds us plenty of that. Around the Waterpoort the biggest pool party of Friesland will take place. Thanks to the stores, terraces and parks of historic Sneek, it is also a great place to be during the rest of the year. Discover for yourself how much fun Snits is.

We have the choice, we have the power. We can do magic if we just believe! A show about the changes going on in us, to us, around us, and because of us. Therefore, it's technically a show about "Everything," only with a how to make it better, see it better, be better. In the show, there is talk about, and with, people who have either been through major changes, are helping others with major changes, or people who are changing the world for the better in a major way. The show is a one-hour talk show format with a monologue by the host, a 30 minute interview with a guest of note, capped by a "Producer's Wrap" segment, in which Filippo and Co-Host Mark Laisure, and sometimes surprise guests, bring it all home for the listeners in a sometimes humorous and sometimes touching, but always entertaining conversation.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, known colloquially as the Met, is the largest art museum in the United States and one of the most visited in the world. With a permanent collection of over two million art works, the nearly century and a half-old museum’s secrets are as rich as its history. The best way to learn about the Met is to visit and take a tour. Tour guides spend day in and day out exploring and touring the majestic space, understanding its evolution, and become acquainted with the timeless objects curated with care throughout its many galleries. Here are 14 amazing and surprising facts about the Metropolitan Museum of Art straight from the individuals that know it best: New York City’s tour guide experts. 1. The Met is the brainchild of a Founding Father’s grandson, and many other prominent New York figures. According to @Discovering_NYC, a writer, historian and NYC tour guide popular on Twitter, the idea for the Met came from John Jay, the grandson of lesser-known Founding Father, also named John Jay. In 1869, a committee of 300 met in 1869 to organize the museum, including many prominent New Yorkers involved with its creation: Andrew Haswell Green, John La Farge, James Lenox, Frederick Law Olmsted, Alexander Stewart and Rutherfurd Stuyvesant, to name a few. 2. The Met was not always located in Central Park. The Met’s first location was in the Dodworth building at 681 5th Avenue, a simple brownstone building, then in a mansion at 128 W 14th street. The Central Park location was secured in 1969 thanks to cooperation from the Central Park Commissioners (many of whom were involved with the Museum) and opened in 1880. 3. The original red Gothic building is still visible if you to know where to look. The original red Gothic building was designed by Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mould. It still stands, and one great view is from the European Sculpture Court, according to Discovering_NYC. Since the Met expanded outward, the building can be seen at its center, which is called Medieval Court. “The Met is like a giant onion; they just keep building more stuff onto it,” says Museum Hack, a leading provider of fun, unconventional tours at the Met and other museums. The 1880 building is totally encased, and the best places to spot it is in the Petrie Court Sculpture Gallery and the Lehman Wing. 4. Since the first collection opened, objects have risen in number from less than 200 to 2 million. That’s an average of over 13,000 new artworks every year. The first collection opened on February 20th, 1872, before the Met had its permanent home, including just 174 paintings and a few sculptures. Now, it contains two million objects celebrating mankind’s artistic endeavors spanning a quarter of a mile and 20 buildings. 5. The Museum’s front facade has been incomplete for over a century. One of the numerous additions to the original building, the magnificent facade facing 5th Avenue was built in 1895, designed by Richard Morris Hunt, one of the founders of the American Institute of Architects. Hunt’s design included four columns supporting allegorical statues of architecture, sculpture, music and painting, but they were never finished because the funds didn’t allow for it. (Discovering_NYC). 6. The Met includes a beautiful uptown complex called The Cloisters. Not everyone knows that there is more to the Met than its on-site art collections. Situated in Fort Tryon Park, the complex includes five Medieval cloisters and an incredible collection of Medieval art. John D. Rockefeller bought the collection for the Met, and also purchased land on the side of the Palisades to preserve the magnificent view. (Discovering_NYC) 7. The best bathrooms are in Gallery 207, not the Egyptian Wing. According to Museum Hack’s insider knowledge, the bathrooms in the Egyptian Wing can be “packed and smelly.” To avoid this, take the Grand Staircase and high-tail it to Asian Art, where the Gallery 207 bathrooms are impressive, crowd-free and nice-smelling. 8. Use the 81st street entrance for shorter lines, pre-admission bathrooms, and your own private gift shop. The main entrance on 82nd Street can be a madhouse, with long waits for coat check and admission. But if you simply stroll down to 81st and use the Uris Center for Education Entrance, Museum Hack attests, there will be shorter lines, a separate coat-check, pre-admission bathrooms and a private gift shop. 9. With over six million visitors each year, it is always crowded — but there are a few quiet spots. Though the museum is almost always full of people, there are some somewhat secluded galleries if one is seeking a contemplative spot, says NYC Licensed Sightseeing Guide Robin Garr says, who also works for the private tour group The Levys’ Unique New York. These include the Astor Chinese Garden Court, where you’ll find a replica of a Ming Dynasty garden from Suzhou (2nd floor, Asian Art galleries); the Henry R. Luce Center for the Study of American Art featuring 10,000 American decorative and fine art objects in open storage cases (2nd floor of American Wing); and the 20 historic-period rooms in the American Wing. 10. The Met holds the largest collections of arms and armor in the Western Hemisphere. Created within the museum in 1912, the collection comprises roughly 14,000 objects, of which more than 5,000 are European, 2,000 are from the Near East, and 4,000 from the Far East. The first curator of the Arms and Armor department was, rather fittingly, a man named Helmut Nickel, Robin Garr says. 11. The museum’s first accessioned object was a Roman sarcophagus, currently on display in the Greek and Roman Galleries. A sarcophagus, which means “flesh-eater” in Greek, is an ancient Roman burial practice and art form by which elaborate designs are carved into limestone and marble containers. The Met’s Roman sarcophagus was a gift from J. Abdo Debbas, the American vice-consul at Tarsus (Southern Turkey) in 1870. It remains a centerpiece of the galleries of Greek and Roman art, says Garr. 12. The Met’s Egyptian collection holds the largest collection of Egyptian art outside of Cairo, and the oldest items in the museum. Mostly from private collectors, the Met is home to over 26,000 pieces of Egyptian art from the Paleolithic era to the Roman era, second only to Cairo in quantity. The oldest items in the museum are a set of Acheulean flints in this collection, which date from the Lower Paleolithic period — between 300,000 and 75,00 BC! Notable artworks also include the Temple of Dendur, a stunning Egyptian temple built by the Roman governor Petronius in 15 AD. A gift from Egypt to the USA in 1965, the temple is illuminated in a sky-lit room with a pool meant to evoke the Nile river. (Robin Garr) 13. There is a resident florist at the Met that arranges humongous floral displays. You may see some beautiful floral arrangements during your visit to the met. According to Garr, the floral displays in the Great Hall niches were permanently endowed by Lila Acheson Wallace (co-founder and co-chairman of Reader’s Digest). There is also a resident florist for the Met: “Floral Curator” Remco van Vliet is a third generation master Dutch florist. Floral arrangements are comprised of fresh, seasonal vegetation and can be as tall as ten to twelve feet. 14. You can’t see the Met in one visit. At two million square feet, it’s impossible to see everything the Met has to offer in just one day. Many visitors make the mistake of winging it only to miss the best parts because they didn’t plan properly. Robin Garr suggests that visitors pick a few favorite objects, two periods of art, or two geographical/cultural areas they would like to see. Prioritize the ones that are most important, but don’t spread yourself too thin or you’ll be unlikely to enjoy the experience. If it wasn’t already clear that they know the Met inside out, it goes without saying that a knowledgeable guide can help you make the most of your day or days at the Met, and share even more pearls of wisdom along the way.Check out Discovering_NYC, Museum Hacks, Robin Garr and The Levys’ Unique New York for more of insight likely to escape regular visitors.

Former leading New Zealand publisher and bookseller, and widely experienced judge of both the Commonwealth Writers Prize and the Montana New Zealand Book Awards, talks about what he is currently reading, what impresses him and what doesn't, along with chat about the international English language book scene, and links to sites of interest to booklovers. Monday, January 30, 2017 Aravind Adiga’s Novel Is About the Game of Cricket — and Sexual Awakening By MARCEL THEROUX - The New York Times - SELECTION DAY By Aravind Adiga 289 pp. Scribner. $26. After a year that has shattered so much received wisdom on both sides of the Atlantic, perhaps there’s some comfort to be taken in one nailed-down certainty: The chances of cricket ever displacing baseball, basketball or football in the bosom of the American public are close to zero. How different things are in Aravind Adiga’s homeland, India, a nation of cricket obsessives. There, devotion to the sport is an enthusiasm that unites 1.3 billion people, propels its finest exponents to a status of semi-divinity and seems to offer a shot at transformative victory to every slum kid with the physical gifts and stubbornness to master the game. It’s this possibility that powers Adiga’s “Selection Day,” a novel about the bewitching dream of athletic glory.

Moving forward will depend on volunteers and financial support – this will decide progress: - Limit Non-Ionizing Radiation – donate because in 2011 the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified radiofrequencies (e.g. wireless, non-ionizing radiation) as a potential carcinogen, and since then, most of those scientists now say it is definitely carcinogenic – such as scientist Hardell or scientist and NIEHS administrator Portier. Besides cancer, many - Privacy Rights – delayed as this needs further work, even though it was approved in 2022 and you can donate to the committee - Real Conflict of Interest Reporting and Fair Legislature – delayed though a donate option exists – A proposal was submitted for conflicts of interest reporting despite the lack of time for finalizing something perfect, and there was an error so it was withdrawn as discussed here. There was also a petition submitted to get feedback on how the rules in the legislature could be revised. This petition is also not perfect, but it was approved showing that something can be done to fix the rules in the legislature which also allow conflicts of interest to flourish in darkness. In Massachusetts, conflicts of interest are difficult to access for the public, but can cause great damage – e.g. charter school funding inequities, expensive tone-deaf utilities, logging acres for solar, ignoring code violations (locally), and stalled popular legislation. - Your RadLimit Ideas (share your ideas for the radiation limits petition initiative here OR in the subject area posts below) Wireless History (Timeline) Massachusetts WiFi-Electric Timeline Massachusetts Legislation Timeline – RFR Frequently Asked Questions (on Non-Ionizing Radiation) Transparency Amendment for ‘Investigation’ S.186 Real Conflict of Interest Reporting Mother’s Day Wireless Muse Lab Proof: Wireless and Electricity Harm Deadly Tumors & Wireless Icky Economics of the Smart Grid, Electric Vehicles (EVs) – Testimony from the MA docket Infertility, Wireless, & Electricity Markey’s Sunrise & the Devil in Wireless Dark Money Massachusetts: Education, Fiber, Environment Schools: No One Left Standing Thanks for my Run for Holyoke Rep What Matters, Massachusetts!

Helps smooth uneven skin texture and color. Microneedling treatments help increase the absorption and penetration of skincare within the skin considerably compared to applying skincare products by hand due to the needles aiding in opening micro-channels in the skin. Place Beauty ORA needle head (with needles facing out) on the Beauty ORA derma pen device tip and push the head in while turning the head clockwise until the two openings on the needle head get locked into the two slots on the Beauty ORA Derma Pen device. How often can I use the roller? For beginners, rolling every few days can be done with 0.25mm or 0.3mm needle length only but it is advised to wait a few days for your skin to heal before another treatment. For 0.5mm needle depth, you can use it once per week. For the 0.75mm or higher depths, you can use it once every 2-4 weeks and gradually increase to once per week. Do not share needle roller heads with anyone else. ORA Electric Microneedle Roller Derma Pen Replacement Heads - 3 Heads Kit (For CORDED Version Only)

Hello, old blog. I think of you often, mostly because putting words and photos into this space is a way to record both the images and the emotions of this stage of life, marriage, and motherhood. I miss doing this, and reading my readers’ stories too, and sharing in this small community online. And so, at least for the month of January, one of my goals is to write four blog posts. I am already over a week into this month and haven’t been able to write until now, so we’ll see if this happens! I thought a fun thing to do would be to capture the last few weeks in a bunch of photos. A lot of my favorite photos are on Instagram, but here are some that didn’t make the cut for whatever reason, yet still tell our story. In December right before Christmas, we went on a five-day vacation to Cambria on the central California coast with my mom, dad, sister Emily, brother Eric, and his girlfriend Rebecca. We stayed in a gorgeous Airbnb on Stepladder Ranch, and we spent hours hiking in the lush green hills around the ranch. Sunset at Elephant Seal Beach, where we saw male elephant seals fighting and tiny newborn baby seals nursing. Elliott and I haven’t been back here since our honeymoon almost seven years ago, so it was crazy to stand there watching the same amazing sight… but with our three children. My mom bought fun spa items for us girls to enjoy while we were there, and Lena had so much fun pampering all of us. I want to repeat this experience! Turns out she gives a facial (the five-year-old version) just as well as she climbs trees. We visited Hearst Castle while we were staying just a few miles away, and it was opulent and magnificent. This is the indoor pool. Can you imagine hanging out here with movie stars in the 1930s and ’40s? Between travel to St Louis, Virginia, and Cambria in December, Forest’s sleep schedule was a total wreck and he was so exhausted by the time Christmas was over. We moved him up to his own bedroom (and out of our closet!) right after my family departed. We also moved him out of the little Arm’s Reach co-sleeper bed he’d slept in his whole life, and now he is in a real “big boy” crib. He’s already sleeping so much better. Not sleeping through the night, though I think he could. I know… babies and parents and sleep… the endless drama… Elliott’s parents got into town for a week-long visit the same day my family left, and we spent a quiet day at home before going to the San Diego Holiday Bowl parade the next day. The kids loved all the balloon floats and bands! We celebrated a second Christmas with Elliott’s parents, this time just stockings. The kids especially enjoyed the packs of gum I put in there, and the little balloon pump and long tube balloons that we made into shapes. So entertaining! Elliott’s sister gave the kids cloth bags and fabric paint for Christmas, and they had so much fun decorating them. I love this messy, realistic scene that is reminiscent of many many mornings in our home. At the recommendation of multiple friends, I got my first Erin Condren planner this year. Already I love having a paper planner so much. I feel like I have a clear grasp of what this week holds, and what I need to get done, like send birthday cards, schedule babysitters, accomplish monthly goals… things that often got pushed to the last minute or just forgotten. When my family relies on me to be organized as well as provide for them in myriad ways, I don’t want to waste my time being disorganized, last-minute, or forgetful. This is my realization and aspiration, anyway. More about goals in an upcoming post! My baby’s first time in the shopping cart seat, and one of my favorite parts of the day: bathing Forest, wrapping him up in his hooded towel, dressing him in cozy pajamas, snuggling up to nurse him, and then laying his sleepy body down in his crib. I love having a baby so so so much, even with the challenges. I’ve been selling and giving away a lot of things this month (spring cleaning!), and I loved this photo of a hand bell set I was ready to part with. Sadly, my kids were always more interested in ringing them loudly enough to wake up the neighbors than playing “Jingle Bells.” For my job at a local paper, I reviewed Buona Forchetta, a popular Italian restaurant in San Diego, and then interviewed the owner. Everyone loved the article, and I loved the entire experience from start to finish! Here’s the article if you’d like to read it. Our beloved baby. On the left, he was eating some crackers (love Mum-Mums!) at the library, and on the right he was hanging out with me, Elliott, and our dog on a date while Elliott’s parents took the older two kids to La Jolla Cove. Lena showed Forest how to set up her new gears toy, and Gil snapped this random photo of me one night when I was giving Forest a bath. Last week we rode the ferry from Coronado to downtown San Diego (I love this photo from the ride) to get Lena a new passport and apply for Forest’s first. We’d like to do some international travel this spring, but we’re still not sure where. And finally, here is a photo of my precious Gil, because I don’t take enough of this sweet, goofy boy. He wasn’t feeling great here (the kids have been suffering from stomach bugs this past week), but he came along so cheerfully on this expedition on the ferry and smiled so sweetly here. And that’s all for now! A busy season, but one I don’t ever want to forget. If only that were possible… at least for all the best memories!

Hope is authentic when we grasp the truth that the presence of God, an indescribable and creative power, is ready and waiting for humanity to embrace humility and unity and actually live as divine love. When ready, our chemistry and wavelengths are transformed. We have free will. It is our will that determines choice. As we awaken and awareness expands, we accept the fact that we are designed to harmonize the physical body with our divinity. This is our purpose here on Earth. Circle of Light - Revisited is a stunning combination of firsthand experiences during a ten year period of non-physical communion with others regarding an inner knowledge, a movement of spiritual identity, and a memory of truth that the author held close to her heart. The language of intuition, a luminous rhythm and a truth replete with flashes of light, healing and an embrace of truth served and still serves as a gradual recognition of spiritual identity. The sharing is a point of joy that is lovingly offered as continuous spiritual progression with all who are ready to receive it~

Hopefully our young intern Sadie has gained some useful experience from her week spent in the world of litigation PR chez Bell Yard. Whilst she was with us, we asked her to share some of her insights into how she and her generation (Z in case you were wondering) consume and interact with traditional and social media platforms. Here is what she had to say, some of which chimes with the recent OFCOM report on News Consumption in the UK which may also be of interest: - Where do you usually get the news from and why? All my news consumption is from free online sources, whether that be the BBC News app or social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Not only are they free, but they also tend to cover popular subjects and are easy to use with content being in video form or short, punchy articles. Additionally, I look to be entertained rather than purely informed which is typical of my generation and which these sites often achieve. - How much news-related content do you consume per week? I rarely consume day-to-day news unless a particularly interesting headline from BBC News pops up. A growing number of teenagers just aren’t interested in the daily government dramas and frequent royal spats – it’s too much of the same thing we’ve heard before. However, during “big” news scandals, like the recent implosion of the Titan submersible, I tuned in a lot. News-related content on this was everywhere online and I liked the way platforms turned it into a captivating drama through vivid storylines and the unravelling of the facts. - Do you listen to podcasts? If so, which ones? I rarely listen to podcasts, I’m more a music listener. However, historical podcasts on Greek Mythology interest me as they align with my reading interests. If I were to listen to more podcasts, they would be about escaping the real world, exploring a new passion or curiosity. - What social media platforms are you on and which do you use most actively? I use Snapchat, WhatsApp and occasionally Instagram and TikTok due to their addictive, scrolling-for-hours nature. Many my age use Snapchat to meet new people with whole relationships being formed online. So much of a young person’s life is on their phone that it makes sense this is where much of their news is consumed. - What is your favourite trad media outlet, and why? I prefer BBC News – the notifications of enticing headlines draw you in, and information is given in short, snappybursts. - Do you trust the media old and new? I trust BBC News, as its primary role is to distribute reliable news. I do not, however, trust social media because its role is to keep users on their screens as long as possible and to make as much money as possible. This is achieved largely through their algorithms pushing “clickable” posts that are controversial and usually fake or soaked in opinion. There is also a real danger of misinformation, especially when there is no counterargument or impartial voice of reason. - How do you avoid misinformation? I use social media less than most of my peers, and I rely on BBC News or Apple News for information. On social media, I remind myself of the importance of stepping back to remember that, despite how it may seem for a lot of young people, the online world isn’t the real world and that truth is to be found in the real one. - If you wanted to hire a lawyer for an issue (e.g. allegations of sexual harassment, academic misconduct, recruitment discrimination), how would you go about finding one? I would research on the internet, look at different options, and ask trusted adults who know more about the subject than me. - Do you think Meta’s Threads will be a success or is it a passing fad? For myself and my peers, Threads doesn’t feel important. In my head, the only thing different about it is a different rich man running it! - To what extent has Twitter fallen out of favour with your generation? I don’t know many people my age who even have Twitter, let alone actively use it. With the heavy stimulation and escapism of short video footage available on TikTok and Instagram, Twitter seems less exciting. In fact, there is almost a stigma around using the app for my generation.

[googlead tip=”vertical_mic”]Republican Michele Bachmann, 55, won the Iowa Straw Poll Saturday, affirming her status as a top-tier candidate in the Republican race to challenge President Barak Obama in 2012. Michele Bachmann received 28% of the nearly 17,000 votes cast. The Texas Republican, Ron Paul was close behind her with 27%. Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty came in a distant third with 13% of the vote, followed by former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum with 9% and businessman Herman Cain with 8%. [googlead tip=”vertical_mare” aliniat=”dreapta”] The daylong political festival was the first indication of how these Republicans are faring with the Grand Old Party (GOP) base. Nine candidates were on the ballot, and voting ran for 6 hours on the campus of Iowa State University. Voters came in from far and wide, some of the candidates organizing bus caravans to bring backers to the event. In the past the turnout has ranged from 14,000 to 23,000. Free hamburgers and ice cream were provided and some candidates even paid the $30 entry fee for their supporters to vote in the Iowa Republican Straw Poll. Sunday morning, it was the ultra-conservative Tea Party favourite Michele Bachmann who was doing the rounds of the talkshow studios on the big television networks, while the former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, a poor third, became the first hopeful to announce he was dropping out of the race. For Michele Bachmann, who won 28% of votes cast, it was the latest success in a rapid rise from local politics to Republican frontrunner. As the result emerged late on Saturday, Bachmann, standing on the steps of her campaign bus, shouted what has become her slogan, just as “hope and change” was for Obama. “You have just sent a message that Barack Obama will be a one … term … president.” “I think what people see in me is I’m a real person, I’m authentic,” she said. Michele Bachmann compared herself to Ronald Reagan, who is saw as one of the party’s giants by Republicans, in being guided by a core set of principles. “I don’t compromise my core principles. That’s how you lead, you lead from principles.” Bachmann’s weekend victory provides important momentum for her campaign and can expect an influx of financial support, but the bigger question for Republicans is whether her appeal can be broad enough to seduce enough voters in the November 2012 presidential election. Although there are eight declared candidates, realistically only three are still in the race: Michele Bachmann, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and the Texas Governor Rick Perry, who announced his candidacy on Saturday. Although Michele Bachmann won the Iowa Straw Poll, her vote is soft, with many still undecided. Sue Matejka, 65, reflects the fluidity of Iowa Republicans. She travelled the three hours from her home in Olin, Iowa, to Ames for the Straw Poll in a bus paid for by Tim Pawlenty but, despite accepting his largesse, had no qualms about voting for Michele Bachmann. “I am undecided,” she said. For her, the overriding imperative is a candidate who will unseat Barack Obama. “It is between Bachmann and Perry. I haven’t heard enough about Perry. What is on paper looks good. What he has done for Texans is good,” she added. Michele Bachmann has risen fast since being elected to Congress in 2006. She has made the most of frequent appearances on television, particularly Fox News, where she is a favourite because of her ultra-conservative views. She is one of the most high-profile figures, along with Sarah Palin, in the Tea Party movement. In line with Tea Party principles, she adopted a hardline position during the debt crisis, saying she would not vote for raising the national debt ceiling and on Sunday repeated her view that deep cuts in federal spending were vital. But it is her views on social issues that helped secure her win in Iowa, one of the most socially conservative states in the country outside of the south. Before joining Congress, she prayed outside abortion clinics. [googlead tip=”lista_mare” aliniat=”stanga”] Michele Bachmann is also one of the most outspoken critics of homosexuality, co-owning with her husband, Marcus, a clinic in Minnesota where, according to an ABC report by an undercover team, counsellors encourage gay people to pray to get rid of homosexual urges. “It’s a very sad life. It’s part of Satan, I think, to say this is gay. It’s anything but gay,” she said in a speech in 2004. While such views on social issues go down well in Iowa, Republicans know such statements will alienate many of the independent voters who decide elections nationwide. Bachmann’s biggest problem is the entry into the race of Texas Governor Rick Perry, who is a strong candidate. While Perry holds many of the same views as Bachmann on social issues, he said that while he is opposed to same-sex marriage in Texas, he thinks it is fine for New York, saying that is the prerogative of each state to decide. As governor of a state with the best record of job growth in the country, Rick Perry is better placed than Michele Bachmann to take on Barak Obama on the economy. Michele Bachmann acknowledged she cannot win on social issues alone and shifted the emphasis in her round of television interviews on Sunday to the economy. “It will be an economics election.” Rick Perry, who announced his candidacy earlier Saturday, came in 6th place with 3.6% of the vote, ahead of GOP front-runner Mitt Romney, former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia and former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, all of whom didn’t compete in the contest. The poll results are nonbinding, amount to a popularity contest and offer candidates a chance to test their get-out-the-vote organizations. Michele Bachmann’s victory may provide a road map for the Iowa campaign heading into the caucuses that are just four months away. But the straw poll has a mixed record of predicting the winner of that contest. In 2008, Romney won the straw poll, but the big news was the surprising second-place showing of former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. Huckabee won the Iowa caucuses, but dropped from the race soon after. McCain, who eventually won the nomination, didn’t compete in the straw poll and finished in 10th place. Meanwhile, Barak Obama, dropping in the polls and aware of the boost Republicans received from four days of campaign events in Iowa that attracted 700 journalists, heads off on Monday on a three days bus tour of the mid-west, including Iowa. A CNN poll last week put Obama on 47%, down from 52% in January. The White House election is 16 months away but he has a lot of ground to make up.

1. In the case of Bethel School District v. Fraser a lot happened. In my understanding there was a school event in which students gave speeches. The one student gave a speech with language unaccepted in the school, and got suspended, and was not allowed to be voted in for the election. The Father got angry and believed that his sons amendment rights were being violated. He felt like his sons first amendment right of freedom of speech was being withheld from him, along with his fourteenth amendment right. The case first went to a general court and it could not be agreed upon, so in tern it went to the Supreme Court because it could not be agreed upon in the lower court system and was to controversial. The court case was taken extremely seriously because it could change school rights, as they were known. The Supreme Court listened to the arguments of both sides. The Supreme Court decided that the school was right. That the child should not have used the language and that they have a right to punish and suspend him. His rights were not taken away because schools have the right to make rules and they do not have to be extremely specific. The general rule is to not use slander language and or offensive language, which the child did use. The language affected other children in the school, and was highly inappropriate. There are rules and regulations in schools and they must be followed. There are certain places in which certain things cannot be said. The first amendment was not meant for children to use slanderous language within the school walls where the children are to be educated. The fourteenth amendment was not violated either because of the fact that it was in alliance with his speech and part of the punishment. In the end the school won the case. 2. I take the side of the Supreme Court Justice. This is not opinionated it is just what is right. The child did something that he should not have done within a school building. The school had general regulations against using slanderous language or inappropriate language. The second reason I agree with the Supreme Court Justice is because teachers within the school previewed the speech and told the student that he should not say what he had written. There was a previous mention of him not being allowed to say what he had written; however, he did it anyhow. The supreme court explained clearly that it was not affecting the child’s amendment rights, because schools are allowed to have rules in place that prevent certain things from occurring to keep young children safe, and unoffended from others. This protects students from decimation and inappropriate language. The school should be a safe house for all students. The fourteenth amendment was not in offence either, for the reason that the child was punished due to the previously mentioned reason and when he returned the election it would have been over. Plus and his speech was inappropriate. Therefore, what was said eliminated him from the election. The father was just angered and did not have enough evidence, nor understood the schools policy in enough detail. The father was just angered that his son did not get to say what he wanted. The father had a lack of good enough evidence that his son did not break any rules within the school walls. The school had the only legitimate argument. The Supreme Court Justices ruled in the right way, and I am pro Supreme Court Justice for the reason that they looked at the court case from all directions and went with the side with the most factual reasoning. The Supreme Court case of Bethel School District v. Fraser, has a major influence on my profession as an educator. This court case has everything to deal with schools, and the laws that protect schools to have rights separate from the amendments. In this case I learned more about school regulations and rulebooks. I learned that they do not have to be extremely specific but have a generalized rule that should be explained to the parents, and students. I learned that the school is responsible for teaching proper language and adequacy to students within their school district. Which will more than likely end up falling on the teacher not the school board or principles. I learned from this case that there should be no inappropriate language from within a public school districts walls. I learned that a school is a safe place for all students, and that should be applied in the classroom I will be teaching in the future. I learned that the first amendment law does not always apply to children or teachers within the walls of an education building when school laws prevent certain things from being acted upon within the building. I learned children must approach what they want to say, their feelings and speeches in an appropriate manner and schools have the right to punish a student if they speak inappropriately. This is important to know because I need to know that I am allowed to punish a student within context, if they do something wrong or breaks school policies even if they have the right to speak freely as a citizen in the United States. This court case was extremely relevant to my discipline.

Who would think that we would be locked up in our houses in 2020?! It’s sad that we really can’t do anything but in the end it’s for the safety of our health from COVID-19 (coronavirus). So in the meantime I have a lot more time to blog here. I hope you have had an awesome Easter considering that you couldn’t see all your family and friends physically. Now is the time to make use of that old skype account that you haven’t used for ages or go for a casual walk in the park that you have never been to. Over the past couple of weeks I have been using Skype with friends wishing MSN messenger was still here. For those who don’t remember MSN messenger was the biggest messaging service of its time with heaps of customisations available. You could change the look of your username, install plugins, play interactive games with friends & family, video chat and talk to computer bots. It was just really popular chat service before MySpace, Skype and then Facebook came. Skype even had interactive games before Microsoft took over! It makes me think, what if your Favourite messaging service atm and why? I have also found myself completing surveys/tasks that you can receive money and vouchers from. It’s 100% legit because I have been receiving the rewards straight away. The more you do, the more you’ll have for when compulsory isolation is over. Meaning you can still support your local businesses when they reopen without being more out of pocket. I plan on creating a list of surveys comparing them between each other for your convenience in the next couple of days if you like. I know I have basically neglected this blog but I hope to bring it back to what it was like in it’s glory days. If you’re an old visitor, please let me know what you would like to see back and everyone else is welcomed to give me new suggestions too. I will me monitoring this blog a lot more now so I aim to release a new blog at least every week now.

7 How Many Things Is That? (How “Things with Parts” Can Make the WHAT Question Tricky) How many things is a jigsaw puzzle? The dictionary defines a jigsaw puzzle as “a picture printed on cardboard or wood and cut into various pieces of different shapes that have to be fitted together.” - A “picture” is one thing - “Pieces of different shapes” are many things So this is a harder question to answer that it seemed at first. A master organizer understands that things composed of parts or pieces raise questions about their “thingness” that affects how we organize them. When you are putting a puzzle together, you think of it a collection of pieces, and you study each piece to determine how to put them together. But when you put away the puzzle box on a shelf or in a bookcase, you think of it as just one thing. Expert organizers call this question of “thingness” the question of “granularity.” That’s a big word but when you think about a sandy beach, is it one thing, or made up of millions of grains of sand? Can you can see “grain” as the root word inside of granularity? Sometimes you need to think of something as one thing and as many things at the same time! Like a lot of kids, you probably play with Legos. You started with a small box with fewer than a hundred pieces. You then moved on to Lego sets for building a particular design — like the alligator in the picture. When you were finished playing with the Legos, you would put all the pieces back into the boxes and put the boxes away. This means you were thinking of each Lego set as one thing. But after you had played with Legos for a few years, you began to think of them differently. You began to use the color, shape, and size of Lego pieces as organizing principles so you could build new things, not just the boxed set things. So while you still had some boxed Lego sets, you now had many hundreds of Lego pieces you organized into much smaller categories. You probably had storage boxes like these: Why does this question of thingness or granularity matter? It matters because sometimes two people will not answer the question the same way. If a parent wants a kid to organize his Legos, they might buy a bookcase and tell the kid to store the boxes there. But if the kid is an expert who wants to organize the pieces into many categories, the bookcase isn’t going to help at all. This question is very important when we think about organizing time, because “pieces of time” come in very different sizes. You will see this in an upcoming chapter.

First teaser arrives for 1911 Jackie Chan’s running, jumping, climbing trees years are evidently behind him, and with the imminent release of his new film 1911 it seems he’s finally made the transition to cinematic elder statesman. Chan directs and stars in the mountain of Chinese propaganda epic, which has been produced to mark the centenary of the Xinhai Revolution – and, extraordinarily, is also his own hundredth film. Have a watch: Well, obviously it looks gorgeous; slow-mo shrapnel, rippling flags and Jackie Chan in a peaked cap are and always have been the way to my heart. But “When an empire is torn between power and corruption”? We don’t want to come across all quoting Lord Acton here, but traditionally power and corruption have been pretty comfortable bedfellows. Maybe it makes more sense in Cantonese…

15 Best Carpet Cleaners For Dog Urine Dogs are wonderful friends, but nothing ruins your carpets faster than bringing a puppy home. They never seem to get tired of finding new and ingenious ways to soil your floors. Many pet-based carpet cleaners on the market do nothing to remove the stains Fido leaves behind – and some can make the situation worse! With a special emphasis on removing urine odors, so you can pick a cleaner that will truly work rather than one that will simply highlight your dog's favorite spots. Rocco & Roxie has a specific enzymatic bacteria that breaks down all portions of the pee, removing not only the stain but also the odor. That manner, no signs of the mishap are left behind. It is not only effective on pee. It also neutralizes excrement, vomit, and hairballs, so it should be able to manage whatever your pet can conjure up from within her body. It also works on almost any surface that can be dyed. You can clean carpet, beds, and upholstery – anything your dog might defile. However, there is one significant drawback. The spray has a foul odor. You may believe that coping with the pee stench after spraying it on your carpet was preferable. The good news is that the spray’s stench fades rapidly, leaving you with a clean (and clean-smelling) rug. It would be lovely if Rocco and Roxie could make their cleaner smell nice, but we’ll take it as it is. - Stains are completely removed. - It also eliminates smells. - Works on a wide range of stains. - Can be used on almost any surface. - It has a very strong odor. It may not seem like much, but the Simple Solution Enzymatic’s 3-in-1 multifunctional sprayer comes in useful. You can make a direct spray for targeted use, a mist for a wider area, or a foam to scrub out tough stains. The foam is what makes this bottle so enticing, while most other bottles only deliver jets or mist. However, pet stains are nasty and tend to spread and sink deep into your carpet; the foam alternative delves deep into the fibers and thoroughly cleans everything. That’s especially crucial when it comes to eradicating scents — because because your dog’s sense of smell is so much stronger than yours, you need to get all of the stink molecules out to avoid a repeat engagement. Despite this, it is one of the most affordable cleaners on the market, which is why it is our choice for the best carpet cleaner for dog urine for the money. There are several disadvantages to be aware of. The sprayer leaks frequently, especially while switching modes, and it is ineffective on old stains. That’s a lot to expect from a cleaner at this pricing point. Simply Solution Enzymatic is one of the greatest cleaners available, and unquestionably one of the best values. - Convenient three-in-one spray nozzle - The foam feature is fantastic. - Digs deep to eliminate smells - Reasonably priced - While spraying, the bottle occasionally spills. - Not recommended for old stains. One of the finest aspects of dog ownership is their company and love. The occasional indoor accident is one of the worst, but they do happen. It’s critical to clean it up fast so it doesn’t damage your carpets or flooring and so your dog doesn’t pee there again. Here’s when Hepper’s Advanced Bio-Enzyme Pet Stain & Odor Eliminator Spray comes in handy! It works on every biological fluid that needs to be eliminated, including drool, vomit, diarrhea, and pee. It works by binding and lifting the stain and accompanying odor and eradicating them permanently. This way, your dog won’t be drawn back to the same location over and over again. It is safe to use on all surfaces, including carpets, floors, fabrics, and furniture, and has a neutral scent, so no harsh or cloying artificial perfumes are used. It’s 32 ounces in size and should last you a long time. Furthermore, Hepper has a 100% satisfaction guarantee, which means it will return your money if you are dissatisfied with the goods. Finally, unlike many other similar products on the market, Hepper’s Bio-Enzyme Spray does not require the addition of water to the solution. You only need to give it a good shake to begin spraying and cleaning. There are no obvious drawbacks to using this spray. You’ll just need to conduct some spot testing on your carpet to make sure it doesn’t change the color. You must also be cautious when storing it so that it does not lose its potency and keep it out of the reach of youngsters. Regardless, it easily tops our list of the best carpet cleaners for dog urine. - Binds odors and stains, lifts them, and eliminates them. - It is effective on floors, carpets, upholstery, and furniture. - Guaranteed 100% satisfaction - There is no need for water: simply mix and spray. - There are no unpleasant artificial fragrances because the smell is neutral. - Spot testing is advised. If you’ve ever lived in the country, you know that when you’re in a jam, you contact a guy named Bubba. Although it may be overkill for everyday stains, Bubba’s Shampoo is as wonderful as a visit from the guy himself. The objective is to utilize Bubba’s when other cleaners have failed you or when your entire carpet needs to be reset. It’s a thorough deep cleaning, and as such, it requires some time and work. You will also require a steam cleaner or shampooer. There is, however, nothing better for stains that you believed would never come out. You may also use it on almost any upholstery, including your couch and drapes. It’s a touch costly, but given how concentrated it is, that balances out. One bottle should last quite a while. Nothing works as well as Bubba’s Shampoo, but considering the effort required, you’d be better off attempting one of the methods listed above it first before bringing in the big guns. - Extremely potent - Excellent for set-in stains - It is effective on all types of upholstery. - A single bottle lasts a long time. - It takes a lot of time, work, and some specialized equipment. - On the expensive side Sunny & Honey is a true multi-surface cleaner because it works on more than just textiles. You may also use it on tile, leather, countertops, and other surfaces (though if your dog is urinating on your counters, you should probably call a trainer — or an exorcist). It’s safe to use around children and pets since it utilizes enzymes rather than harsh chemicals — plus the firm doesn’t test their products on animals and donates money to animal shelters, both of which are excellent for your conscience. Because it’s intended for indoor use, it’s safe; it’s a terrific method to clean up a crate or some bedding, for example. However, because the stench is overwhelming, open a window before you begin spraying. You must also allow it to sit for an extended period of time (up to an hour), depending on the severity of the stain. This provides your pet plenty of time to re-mark the location, as well as enough of time for you to become preoccupied and forget to return to scrub it. Sunny & Honey is a favorite of ours, and its fourth-place performance here is less an indictment of the product itself and more a reflection of how fantastic the products rated above it genuinely are. - It is effective on all surfaces. - It is safe to use around children and pets. - The organization is socially concerned. - Excellent for cleaning crates and bedding. - The odor is strong. - It takes a long time to complete the task. Woolite Pet Stain Remover is one of the best all-purpose carpet cleaners available. It can remove imperfections ranging from pee and vomit to tracked-in dirt. It smells nice and helps eradicate pee odors rather than just hiding them. If your dog has a propensity of returning to the same places, this can finally break him of the behavior. It cleans couches and other upholstery just as well as carpet, so you can keep your furniture smelling and looking as good as your rugs and carpet. There were only a few difficulties with this cleanser. Because it is unlikely to completely remove a stain from white carpet, you may require something stronger in that instance (then again, you may want to change from a white carpet entirely if you have a dog on it). Also, regardless of the color of your carpet, you’ll most likely need to reapply it numerous times for maximum results. Woolite Pet Stain Remover, on the other hand, accomplishes more than enough to merit inclusion on our list, and it’s nearly as good as the options above it. While we’d recommend those first, we don’t think you’ll be sorry if you get this spray as well. - It is effective on all types of stains. - It smells nice. - Instead of simply covering urine scents, it breaks them down. - It also works great on upholstery. - Not recommended for use on white carpets. - For the finest results, many applications are required. While this choice from Amaziing Solutions prides itself on not having a nasty odor, the smell it does have may be too subtle to keep your dog from returning to the same location over and over. The strength of the odor determines whether or not this occurs. This item is helpful for light-to-medium odors, but severe or deeply ingrained aromas may be too much for it to handle. It is, however, difficult to beat for cosmetic issues. It works well for eliminating stains of various kinds. That is, of course, of limited use if your dog continues renewing the stain for you. The liquid itself is incredibly sudsy, and it’s difficult to get all of it out. You’ll make one more pass and see some film return just when you think you’ve gotten it all. While the thoroughness required helps to break up imperfections, you’ll undoubtedly wonder if the spray or your elbow grease is doing the trick. Amaziing Solutions is a good-but-not-great cleanser worth keeping around if you want to test something that won’t stink up your entire house, but if you want something that’s certain to work, you’ll have to seek elsewhere. - A little odor - Excellent for minor to moderate problems. - Excellent at eliminating stains - The stench of pee may not be completely removed. - It takes a lot of effort. - The spray is really sudsy. BISSELL Febreze Cleaner, like Bubba’s Shampoo, is intended for use in steamers or shampooers, so don’t expect to buy a bottle and be done with it. It’s also useful for whole-house cleaning, but not nearly as effective as Bubba’s. The actual star here is the Febreze; if all you care about is making your house smell nice, this is the cleaner to buy. The difficulty is that Febreze covers the odor rather than eliminating it, so the scent will reappear after a while. It’s also unlikely that your dog will ever stop sniffing it, so he may be contributing to the problem in the meanwhile. The mixture contains Scotchgard, which appears to be fairly efficient in preventing subsequent stains. However, given that you’re likely purchasing it due to existing stains, that may not be much of a help. Your best approach, in our opinion, is to spot-clean your carpet using one of our higher-rated options before going over it with the BISSELL Febreze Cleaner. However, you may be able to achieve the same results by omitting the BISSELL and simply lighting a candle. - It smells amazing. - Has Scotchgard to prevent future stains - It works great with spot cleaners. - Only hides the odor of pee. - Repeat crimes may be permitted. - A steamer or shampooer is required. It may not be entirely fair to rank Hoover Paws & Claws so low considering it plainly mentions that it works best when used in conjunction with a spot cleaner. However, we believe that a carpet cleanser should be able to manage simple scents such as dog pee, and this one is already pricey, so requiring you to purchase another product seems excessive. This item, like the BISSELL shampoo, contains Scotchgard, which can help lessen the impact of subsequent spills. But, once again, that doesn’t help you with problems in the present. The cleanser does not have a strong odor, but it does smell faintly like mothballs. While it does reduce the smell of urine, it is unlikely to fully erase it, leaving you with an unusual pee-and-mothball combo after you’re done. Hoover Paws & Claws has a few advantages, but the disadvantages outweigh them to the point where it cannot rise above the bottom half of this ranking. - Scotchgard is a fabric protector. - A faint odor - It must be used in conjunction with another cleanser. - On the pricey side - When finished, it emits a peculiar mothball-and-urine odor. Although ANGRY ORANGE has a strong fruit scent that can mask the stink of dog urine, you may not want your house to smell like a citrus orchard. The smell lingers as well, so make sure you like it because you’ll be stuck with it for a while. Your dog is unlikely to like it either, but he may begin to avoid problem areas. Dog urine is the most difficult of all frequent pet bodily fluid stains to remove. It works good on vomit, but it will take a lot of effort to remove a pee stain. Also, the spray itself can stain certain materials, so test it first before splattering it all over the place. You don’t want the urine stain to be the most appealing feature of the floor. While ANGRY ORANGE is effective at masking urine odor, its overpowering citrus aroma may make you, well, angry. - Urine scents can be concealed. - Effective on vomit stains - Citrus aroma that is overpowering - Doesn’t do anything to eliminate urine stains. - Certain fabrics may become discolored. - Dogs, it appears, dislike odor as well. Each order of Resolve Pet High Traffic Foam includes four aerosol cans, and all you have to do is apply a layer to the target area and scrub. We apologize for implying that “all you have to do” would be easy. The truth is that removing anything older than a few minutes from your carpet will require a lot of scrubbing. This product appears to derive the most of its strength from your efforts rather than its recipe. When you start scrubbing, everything comes up – filth, hair, last week’s lasagna, and so on. This may make you feel busy, but all it appears to do is add to the mess, as the stain will most likely remain once it dries. It also does little to eliminate odors. It leaves a faint chemical odor on top of them, but that’s probably not what you were looking for. With each order of Resolve Pet High Traffic Foam, you certainly get a lot of stuff, but given how much work it produces for you, that may not be a good thing. - Each order contains a large number of products. - It takes a lot of effort. - Doesn’t do anything to remove stains. - Makes a huge mess - Adds a chemical odor to the odor Rocco & Roxie Stain Remover contains enzymes that eat away at pee in your carpet, fully breaking it down and removing it. Even better, the spray works on all surfaces, so you won’t have to surrender any space in your home for your dog’s target practice. Simple Answer Enzymatic also effectively removes stains and odors at a reasonable cost. The best part is that it has a foam setting that allows you to truly dig into large, deeply-set stains. The only thing more aggravating than discovering that your dog peed on the floor again is discovering that your carpet cleaner is powerless to remove it. With the help of these evaluations of the best carpet cleaners for dog urine from BestForPets (bestforpets.org), you should never have that problem again since these cleaners can finally eliminate the problem at its source, protecting both your carpet and your nose from future attacks. Buyer's Guide: How to Choose the Best Carpet Urine Odor Cleaner The type of cleaner you use will have a significant impact on your results. Many brands, for example, employ chemical cleansers, which can be helpful but can also be harmful to your pet’s health. They are also dangerous to use near children, and certain brands of the material you use are toxic. We only recommend chemical cleaners if you’ve exhausted all other choices. Cleaners with Enzymes Enzymes are little, beneficial bacteria that consume organic matter (urine, excrement), generating the stench. When the organic material is depleted, the bacteria die and the stain and odor go. Because enzymes dissolve the stain, they are the most efficient at preventing repeat visits, as opposed to other cleaners that disguise them. The disadvantage of enzymes is that it can take a long time for the enzymes to eat the stain, and you may need to treat the stain numerous times before it is clean. Another issue with enzymes is that different manufacturers use different concentrations of microorganisms. Peroxide of Hydrogen Hydrogen peroxide is a harmless chemical that can be used to eliminate organic stuff that causes odors, such as enzymes. It is usually less expensive and extremely effective. The disadvantage of hydrogen peroxide is that it loses potency quickly, therefore you must frequently reapply it. When you know what type of chemical you intend to employ, you can select the appropriate bottle size. If you have a small to medium-sized dog, a 24- or 32-ounce bottle should suffice. However, if you have a large dog or more than one, you should buy a one-gallon size or larger to ensure that you always have enough cleaning on hand in case one of your dogs has an accident. Bottle of Spray It may appear insignificant, but we strongly advise selecting a brand with a spray container to make application easier. If it doesn’t come with a spray bottle, you’ll have to buy one on your own, which will delay getting started. There are no reviews yet. Be the first one to write one.

Strep Throat Doesn't Worsen Tourette But May Affect ADHD: Study TUESDAY, March 2, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Strep throat doesn't appear to aggravate Tourette syndrome and other chronic tic disorders in youngsters, according to a new study. But it did find an association between strep infection and increased hyperactivity and impulsiveness among kids with ADHD. People with chronic tic disorders have unintentional repetitive movements and vocalizations. Previous research has suggested a link between strep and tic and behavioral disorders. "The link between streptococcus and tics in children is still a matter of intense debate," said study author Dr. Davide Martino, of the University of Calgary in Canada. "We wanted to look at that question, as well as a possible link between strep and behavioral symptoms like obsessive-compulsive disorder [OCD] and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder [ADHD]." To investigate the possible connection, researchers focused on group A streptococcus, a type of bacteria that causes strep throat, impetigo and a variety of other infections. The study included 715 children and teens with chronic tic disorders, including 91% diagnosed with Tourette syndrome. More than 250 had ADHD, and 227 had obsessive compulsive disorder. Every four months, researchers took throat swabs and blood samples from the children to check for strep bacteria. This was done for an average of 16 months. At the start of the study, 59 children tested positive for strep bacteria. During the study, 103 children had a new exposure to strep bacteria. Among all the children, more than 300 had a worsening of symptoms during the study, but there was no association between strep exposure and worsening of tics or OCD symptoms. However, there was an association between strep exposure and an approximately 20% increase in ADHD symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsiveness, according to the study. The findings were published Feb. 10 in the online issue of the journal Neurology. "While our findings suggest that strep is not likely to be one of the main triggers for making tics worse, more research is needed into other possible explanations," Martino said in a journal news release. "For example, the social stress of having this disorder could be implicated in making tics worse more than infections. It's also possible another pathogen might be triggering an immune response associated with tic worsening," he said. The U.S. National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke has more on Tourette syndrome. SOURCE: Neurology, news release, Feb. 10, 2021

I hope that this year is off to a happy and healthy start for you and your team. Are you on track to meet or exceed your first quarter goals? Today, I am sharing some office management and leadership tips and ideas to help you enjoy a fantastic February. Are you looking for marketing and practice growth tips and ideas for February 2022? Check these out: February’s Children’s Dental Health Month and Marketing and Practice Growth Tips & Ideas for February Do you enjoy the complimentary tips and ideas that I share each month? I would love and truly appreciate it for you to please take a second to leave a review/recommendation for me here on GOOGLE and/or FACEBOOK – Thank you!!! February 2022 Management and Leadership Tips and Ideas Team Building – National Chili Day 24th – Have an in-office chili cook-off lunch. Everyone brings in a crockpot of chili. Have prizes for the best tasting, most unique, etc. Random Acts of Kindness Week: 13-19 – Do something special for your employees this week. Bring in an unexpected sweet treat or small gift to let them know just how much you appreciate them. (By the way, your doctor would also appreciate an unexpected act of kindness this week!) Reappointments and Reactivation – Now is a great time to reach out to your unscheduled patients both active and inactive patients. Do you know how many of your active patients are unscheduled? (If your practice management software is Dentrix, Eaglesoft, or Open Dental I can help you quickly get those numbers. Just send me an email to [email protected] and let me know that you’d like to get the FREE data analysis.) Make a plan to reach out to your unscheduled patients. Rather than just calling to ask if they would like to schedule an appointment, use this occasion to simply check-in to see how they’re doing and let them know you’re thinking about them. This is about building and strengthening relationships. Take advantage of all the different communication methods to reach your patients – telephone, text, email, letter/cards, and your social media pages. You’re planting little reminder seeds that you are still here for them during these crazy times. Insurance Claims – Send out “clean” insurance claims with the correct information, provider, date of service, Xrays, attachments, and documentation. Your goal is to not have any unpaid claims sitting out there past 30-60 days. (Did you know that your collection percentage drops significantly after 90 days past due? Over 120 days past due it drops to about 30% – you lose a lot of your money the longer these claims sit out there. Worse yet, you run the risk of the claim not being paid at all!) What does your insurance aging report look like? How often are you checking on outstanding insurance claims? Who is monitoring and working on your aging reports, daily? February is National Time Management Month – “Respect others time and your time will be respected“ Review your office systems and protocols to ensure that everyone is using their time efficiently and effectively. Arriving at the office with plenty of time before the first scheduled patient, expecting your patients to arrive on time, never waiting on hygiene exams, calculate the actual amount of time it takes to do procedures, control the schedules, these things will help you stay on time. If you’re often running behind schedule, investigate the reason(s) why. If you know the why… change whatever it is causing you to stray from the schedule. Running behind schedule sends a message to your patients AND your team that you don’t respect their time. Respect your team by sticking to the scheduled work hours. Be sure that they are not habitually working through their lunch or having to work late. They need breaks to refresh and refuel. Give them that. Have you signed up to receive my complimentary dental marketing and practice management ideas that are sent right to your email inbox each month? If not, take a second and sign up. Or send me your email address to [email protected] and I will send you an invite to follow. This way, you won’t miss a single idea.

The other morning, I was watching “Arthur” on PBS with my 12-year-old son. Yes, he’s too old for Arthur but the television pickings are slim at 6:00 a.m. which is when his internal clock is set to awaken him and I am grateful that he doesn’t choose the Wiggles or something even more annoying. So, the plot of that day’s show is Arthur decides to earn money by starting a pet sitting business. Hilarity ensues as Arthur finds himself caring for a menagerie of beasts.  Since Arthur has taken in frogs and snakes and cats and dogs, he finds himself in the unenviable position of trying to care for a variety of different pets with wildly divergent needs and he spends most of his time trying to keep the dogs from chasing the cats and the frogs from becoming dinner for the snakes. As I’m watching, I find myself saying to my 12-year-old, “If Arthur just limited himself to a single type of pet, he wouldn’t be having the problems he’s having. If he would define his target audience to a single pet, his business would be more successful and he could provide better service to his clients.†(Yeah, that’s what it’s like to watch cartoons with me at my house.) My 12-year-old ignores my comment and pours himself a bowl of cereal. The thing about watching PBS is there are no commercials during children’s programming so to fill the time, they run a short filler piece with adorable preschool or school aged children to fill the time slot. During this morning’s segment, the adorable school aged children were obviously videotaped as they performed their class assignment of creating a commercial for a fictional pet store, which tied into the Arthur story plot. The first group’s commercial consisted of the adorable children jumping in place while holding the sign they created with their pet store’s name. The second group spoke in unison as they held their sign. They threatened in unison, “You’d better come to Pet Palace . . . or else!†and they ended with pointing an accusing finger at the camera. That, my friends, provides a glimpse into how small children view current television advertising.  As I’ve watched television in the days that follow, I am saddened to say that I can see from whence they drew their inspiration for their commercials. Children are great imitators. They imitate adults as they prepare for their future, when they join the adult world. These children didn’t see commercials as a way to communicate but just joyless fluff. Their attempts at creating their own commercials told the tale. They didn’t say, “Come see us! We’ve got the cutest puppies in town!â€Â  They didn’t say, “If you want your pet to live forever, buy our pets! They never die!â€Â They didn’t cajole, they didn’t coax, they didn’t persuade their audience or try to charm them. Instead they bounced and bullied their way through their commercial attempts. Not that I expected great advertising from what appeared to be third graders, but I really was surprised by the “buy here or else†slogan. Take a look at your advertising. Is it cajoling? Is it persuasive? Is it alluring? Or are you just bouncing and bullying your way through 30 or 60 seconds of air time?

Calamine ticketing is a ticketing solution for diagnostic centers and collaboration of the stakeholders involved in the process. U.S. diagnostic centers and labs process millions of tests every day. Manual supervision is often needed for accuracy. Lives depend on such information. During the testing process, revisiting methods are required to decrease the number of errors and provide information on deviation from standard values based on demography and other data. If flagged by middleware and discussed by the stakeholders earlier, then the decision-making process can be streamlined. React Native Web App, Website/ Landing Page, Backend The web app solution is for medical laboratory scientists (MLS), also known as medical technologists or clinical laboratory scientists. Data input from certain machines e.g., Hematology Analyzer Machine. Hematology analysis comprises some of the highest-volume tests run in clinical laboratories. Auto verification of hematology results using computer-based rules reduces turnaround time for many specimens while strategically targeting specimen review by a technologist or pathologist. Integration with such middleware requires knowledge about the communication protocols of the devices. MLSs might need to adopt a new interface when our solution is implemented, which adds to their workload. Many data would have to be visualized on very small screens i.e., mobile devices. A better user journey by designing better UI/ UX is paramount. Currently, in many establishments, MLSs manually notify each other for collaboration due to a lack of technology. Or they use social media applications which is a threat to privacy. We created a replicable solution that allows MLSs to view data fetched from middleware and certain devices, message each other, and receive notifications. These components allow users to collaborate within our application. It allows users to “flag” an item and send a message to another user to resolve any issue. There is a model for users and events such as “flagged.” There are four user types, each able to read and post comments. Comments can only be made while an item is open and flagged. Only the user who flags the item can resolve or un-flag the item. Notifications are sent as in-app (web) alerts and emails. The UI/UX is kept very minimalistic and easy, as we are working with a large amount of data that needs visualization in mini screens. We integrated certain open-source libraries following the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The solution is hosted on AWS EC2. The web app has been implemented in several locations and is currently being redesigned. System integrators and end users have adopted, welcomed, and appreciated it. Our solution has been used for certain workflow improvements. This also impacts patient and public health by enabling efficient instruments and data management so that accurate information is provided quickly. - Flagging and commenting on data - Messaging and other social features such as commenting, tagging, etc. - Notification management - Privileged access management - App analytics and reports React Native, Google Firebase, AWS, MySQL Contact us. A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) prevents us from showcasing the actual app.

Exodus Era is our topic for today from our book, “30 Days to Understanding the Bible,” by Max Anders. This chapter will explore grumbling and complaining people who struggle with following directions. When I think of the Exodus era, I am reminded that I, too, can struggle with following God’s instructions for my life. An Exodus scenario Have you ever felt like you were the best person to make the decision? Do you know what I mean? Let me give you an example. There’s something you are just dying to do, but everyone has told you that doing this one thing would be detrimental to your health and well-being. Your friends have said that though you asked them to pray, going through with it is something they feel would be displeasing to God. But you insist because you know you. You know how you would handle the situation and foresee the outcome. So you move forward against their godly advice and sound judgment. And then, whammo! Precisely what your friends advised you against has happened, and you can’t understand why God allowed it to happen and why God didn’t save you from the consequence of your decision. God heard the cries of the Israelites, and he sent Moses to rescue them from the oppression of the Egyptians. And as great as that was for the Israelites, they became impatient once they crossed the river and tried to move forward without God. Bad decision. Poor Moses led them around the desert for forty years because of disobedience. God gives them the law. Moses is our central figure for the Exodus era, and the primary location is in Egypt. Our four significant events in this era are as follows: - The Law - Kadesh Barnea - Forty Years of Wandering Join me as we look into each of these main events.
