3rd Tuesday after Pentecost The Gospel According to Matthew 10:9-15 The Lord said to his disciples, "Take no gold, nor silver, nor copper in your belts, no bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the laborer deserves his food. And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it, and stay with him until you depart. As you enter the house, salute it. And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. And if any one will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave that house or town. Truly I say to you, it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town."

The risk to people on the ground of being killed by the uncontrolled descent of a rocket stage is increasing, with legislation urgently needed to prevent potential tragedies, says a team of political scientists and astronomers in Canada. Most space launches still result in the uncontrolled return to Earth of at least parts of rockets – uncontrolled in this sense referring to the absence of an engine burn to put the rocket stage on a safe trajectory into the ocean. Although many pieces of space debris meet a fiery end in Earth’s atmosphere, parts of rockets can be large enough to reach the ground and cause damage. The group behind this fresh assessment of the risks is led by Michael Byers, who is a professor of global politics and international law at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. The team found that the greatest danger is to people living in the southern hemisphere, often in poorer nations that have no direct connection with space launches. In May 2020, for example, wreckage from the 18 ton

How can you tell if a painting is valuable? One good indicator of how to tell if a paint is valuable is to figure out who owned the painting beforehand. If someone who was high up or well-known in the art community owned the painting, then there might have been a reason for it. They knew that it was worth more. How much do paintings sell for? Multiply the painting’s width by its length to arrive at the total size, in square inches. Then mult

IHS REPRESENTATIVE FINDER Culture is derived from how people think about what they’re doing and the value they place on it. The vision — pursuing a result that is perceived as worthy — drives success. With a clear, shared vision, people are motivated, inspired, and attracted to work hard. Values are unchanging — the non-negotiable bedrock of your corporate soul. Our culture and company values reflect the values of God. While vision is important for defining where you want to go, values tell you how to get there, and how to act along the way. Healthy cultures tend to exist when there’s structural support to encourage desired qualities. IHS Develops business in a way that helps us move towards our vision in an effective way. We refer to this as organizational design. We bring Systems like data management, employee acquisition and training, accounting, performance management, compensation, product development, project management, and standard operating procedures that bring order to our company.

In the opinion of a majority of the court, the words might therefore properly be found by the jury to have been spoken of the plaintiff in respect to his profession as a physician, and they might properly be found to be defamatory and actionable without an averment of special damages. See, as supporting this result, Sanderson v. Caldwell, 45 N. Y. 398, 405, 6 Am. Rep. 105, where the court formulates a rule which would include this case. The minor questions in the case may be briefly disposed of. If an averment of special damages was necessary, or if the words set forth were actionable per se, in either case the evidence of special damage was properly received.

There aren’t 2 alike beings on this earth (no, not even twins at birth). There’s no “ideal way to be” or “ideal type”, no mold to fit into, no special way “we were supposed to be”. Each individual is uniquely and to a certain degree randomly built, not because we are faulty and didn’t fit the ideal, not because we are “off the mean measurements”, but simply because there is no ideal, there are no mean measurements of how we are supposed to be. Everyone and every living thing is simply the way they are, and trying to do their best (if you can even generalize that far) in their current environments, whichever environments those happen to be. There’s no general “best way” to be in all environments, but only the specific ways everyone happen to be in the specific environments they happen to live in. That’s why books like “The way of the Superior Man” and a lot of Ayn Rand’s thoughts regarding human psychology are bullshit. They’re trying to fit man into an “ideal form” which everybody should strive to be like. Bu

13 Apr A Burning Question: How Strong is Strong Enough? This is a burning question I’ve thought a lot about. Actually, I’ve been obsessed with this question. Obviously, I’m a big believer in the power of physical strength to optimize our performance and help us achieve the specific goals we want. There’s no question in my mind about the benefits of strength, but how strong do we need to become? One simple reason we need strength is because we lose strength and muscle mass after the age of 25 or so. My personal belief is that we need to do everything we can to prevent this from happening, otherwise our health and functional performance will deteriorate over time. Here’s a name for you. Jack understood the concept to stay strong, muscular, mobile, and healthy for as long as humanely possible, until he passed at the age of 96. Strength isn’t the only physical quality we need, though. There are many other important qualities such as: - endurance and conditioning - flexibility and mobility - cardiovascular health

The hiring process can be a rocky journey involving dozens of candidates and weeks of interviews. Although a painstaking process, finding the right employee for the job is crucial, and the choice should never be rushed. Employees are the ambassadors of your brand, not to mention the money your company invests in each new employee. It costs an average of five times their yearly salary just to go through the first year of training and employment. Carefully studying resumes, checking previous job history, and meeting face-to-face to get to know the contenders takes time. Many companies even hold multiple in-person interviews with candidates to decide if they fit the criteria. Once the obvious applicants have been cut because of inexperience or other shortcomings, the hard work starts. Look for these eight red flags to weed out the candidates that may spell trouble for your company. 1. Showing up Unprepared Showing up for an interview unprepared demonstrates that a candidate really just wants a job—any job—and ha

The Skilled Nursing Facility or Sub-Acute Rehab setting can be a rewarding work setting for therapists. Unlike hospitals, which have very short stays, SNF therapists can get to know their patients and feel the pride of hard work and accomplishment when a patient improves enough to return home. Skilled Nursing Facility therapists frequently continue their education, specializing in geriatrics or neurological rehab. In addition, therapists who go into this field are rewarded with high rates of pay. Skilled Nursing Facilities provide both sub-acute rehabilitation and long-term care for their patients. Patients may stay just for their recovery period, or for an extended length of time. Therapists who work in a Skilled Nursing Facility can provide treatment for, or assistance with, any of the following: - Neuro Rehabilitation; for conditions such as Cerebral Vascular Accidents, Parkinson’s Disease, and Multiple Sclerosis - Rehabilitation for general orthopaedic injuries; for example hip, ankle, shoulder, and pelvi

Cricklewood Blogger’s link with gangsta rap is a tenuous one, but the story begins with an event organised by our local youth charity, Amal Trust. In the last fortnight he has learnt about Bloods and Crips, and this man they call 2PAC Shakur…. The first induction was at Amal Trust’s happy and raucous Eid Party and Qur’an recitation prize giving ceremony, this year held at Porchester Hall in West London. The second was further away from home, in Bethnal Green, at a meeting organised by BLYDA – the Brick Lane Youth Development Association. The star turn at both events was the presence of ex-Rappers from the US who had something to say about gang culture. Both Abu Jafar and Mutta Abu Salek had traveled a million miles from their past lives, embracing Islam on the way and now with a mission to reach out and warn youngsters. Both these young men spoke with authority and tremendous sincerity. It was only when Mutta Abu Salek tugged his sleeve, revealing a large tattoo, that one could experience the connection with

Denise and I visited Boston in the fall of 2018 as part of one of my last work trips. We spent the weekend walking the city and exploring the area, taking in its history and culture. One of the things I always try to do when visiting a place is buy a book that is indicative of the area. In this case, I bought a few, and I know that doesn’t surprise anyone. One of them was “Poems of Phillis Wheatley” and subtitled “A native African and a slave.” With all the discussion today, I thought it interesting to read again some of what she wrote, as a native African, brought over to America and sold as a slave. Within 16 months of her arrival in the colonies in 1761, she “attained the English language, to which she was an utter stranger before, to such a degree as to read any, the most difficult parts of the Sacred Writings, to the great astonishment of all who heard her.” (Quote taken from a letter written to her publishers from her master, Thomas Wheatley, in 1772.)

Taking The Plunge Into The World Of Aluminum Fencing There are many factors to take into account when deciding on a fencing material. Keep reading for help finding the best material for the job. From strength to safety to style, there are plenty of things to consider when making a plan for a new fence around your property. When it comes to fencing materials, people tend to flock toward either wood fences or metal fences. Fences made of wood are good for a certain look on small homes, but more than likely, you are here to learn why aluminum is the metal of choice when it comes to fences. Consider the building type Certain types of properties are suited to certain types of fences. For example, you probably wouldn’t see a low-lying wooden fence around a large industrial building. Aluminum fence panels and gates can suit so many different properties, from small homes to large commercial properties. There really is an aluminum fence for any job. You can add privacy panels for a more secure and private fence, or yo

Fruit Must Be Produced: Being Good Is Not Enough 26 Jan 2017 We have this tendency to think of good as things like helping the poor, and yes, this is good, but, this is not the same as producing fruit. For what good is it when we have made the poor comfortable here, only to spend eternity in discomfort. This is why, or partly why, our works are meaningless. Our good works apart from Jesus are meaningless. Only when our works are the result of our faith in Christ do they become fruitful. If we, the branches, are not connected to the Vine, we are a dried up thing and cannot produce fruit. We produce fruit when we bring people to eternal comfort.Share on: Comments powered by Talkyard.

New York State aims to procure 800MW of offshore wind power by 2019 The state of New York has announced a scheme to procure approximately 800MW of offshore wind power by 2019. The plan will support the state’s target to own 2.4GW of new offshore wind energy, enough to power 1.2mn homes, by 2030. New York State also aims to source 50% of its total electricity from renewable power generation by the same deadline, the state’s governor, Andrew M. Cuomo, noted. The 800MW of power, to be sourced by next year, will be procured through a solicitation that was issued at the end of 2017. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) will procure renewable energy certificated from awarded facilities, with the awards to be announced by the second quarter of 2019. The Offshore Wind Renewable Energy Certificates will be sold to utilities and other firms. “This action represents another major step toward establishing a clean energy future that is secure, reliable and cost-effective,” Governor Cuomo

Port Erin is a seaside village on the southwest coast of the Isle of Man. The village sits within a horseshoe bay with two headlands that can on a windy day create a funnel onto the beach, but with the flip-side of this being a suntrap on calm days. Port Erin was a popular tourist destination and a lot of the old hotels still give this a Victorian charm. The original railway station still exists today and is a terminus on the Douglas to Port Erin line of 25km (15.5 miles). Due to the westerly location you can get some great views of the setting sun over the headlands. Port Erin Rushen Map Want some ideas on where to visit?

Here's a summary of what my talk will be about: The West African Student’s Union was a London based group, which existed from 1925 to 1966. The W.A.S.U was born out of a very prosaic need: the need for bed and breakfast. Landladies in the 1920s were not partial to black lodgers so the W.A.S.U’s hostel, founded in 1933, served as a shelter for African students seeking lodging in a hostile city. Yet, the W.A.S.U’s founder, Chief Ladipọ Ṣolankẹ, also had a vision of the Union as a centre for debate and discussion, a place where student could eat good African home cooking as well as meet with the black icons like Paul Robeson, who was a W.A.S.U patron; a place where these students would begin to think of themselves as future leaders. It wasn’t long before Whitehall began to take note. For as independence movements developed on the African continent, the question arose: who would rule when the British had departed? Who else but these young, eloquent, well dressed, confident young men and women who peopled the room

Catalytic combustion exhaust gas treatment equipment 1. Process principle The organic waste gas enters the activated carbon adsorption bed where the honeycomb activated carbon is placed, and fully contacts the honeycomb activated carbon. The strong adsorption of the activated carbon to organic substances is used to purify the gas, and the treated gas can reach the standard emission. When the activated carbon is saturated, the desorption system will automatically start to blow off the organic solvent from the activated carbon using hot air, and the activated carbon will be desorbed and regenerated. The high-concentration organic waste gas blown off is oxidized into CO₂ and H₂O under the action of the precious metal catalyst, and releases a large amount of heat. 2. Process flow chart 1. Process advantages (1) The initial investment is relatively low. (2) The technology is mature, the maintenance cost is low, and the scope of application is wide.

My great-grandmother Trientje Maria (Janssen) Ufkes was born 111 years ago today, on 17 April 1895. That’s the date I was always told she was born. Fortunately that’s the date of birth given for her in the records of the Immanuel Lutheran Church in Basco, Hancock County, Illinois, where she was baptized. Her baptismal entry is on pages 34 and 35 of the church’s register of baptisms (obtained digitally today on Ancestry.com in their ELCA [Evangelical Lutheran Church in America] database). There were no surprises in the entry. That’s always good. Great-grandma never used the name Trientje (at least that I remember, but my point, but I was always aware that was her low-German name. Her baptism on 28 April 1895 took place within two weeks of her birth. This was typical considering that there was a nearby church with an available pastor. Great-grandma was named for her maternal grandmother, Trientje (Behrens) Sartorius–her older sister Elske was named for their paternal grandmother Elske (Fecht) Janssen. Trientje’

We are arguing that contemplation of the Triune God can heal the wounds of social alienation that so profoundly mark the experience of believers today and, more than this, offers a fullness of Christian living no other kind of prayer can match. In our last article, we distinguished St. Elizabeth’s confidence in presenting a contemplative approach to the Trinity in contradistinction to the tentativeness that often comes through the preaching of those who do not share a deep devotion to the Divine Persons.

You might want to improve your bedroom based on design inspirations online, but you can’t. You don’t have sufficient space to pursue the changes. After all, not everyone is lucky to own a large bedroom. These tips might work for you if you still want to make things happen despite the limited space. Use multipurpose furniture Look for furniture you can use in different ways. A sofa bed is a convenient option, which you can turn into a bed at night. You may also use a TV mount that has a mirror on the opposite side. You can save more space, and you don’t have to purchase separate items. Utilise storage spaces Build storage spaces where you can hide things you don’t use instead of scattering them all over your place. You can also have an illusion of space if you don’t have clutter. From your kitchen to the bedroom, storage furniture is essential. Consider floating shelves since they don’t occupy too much space yet can hold many things.

State’s SMART program isn’t so smart Solar initiative keeps status quo in command THE MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT of Energy Resources will finalize by July 15 regulations doubling the size of the MA SMART solar photovoltaic program from 1,600 to 3,200 megawatts. On the surface this is a reasonable, if limited, step forward. But like most things, the devil and long-term consequences are in the details. Unless changed by DOER, or the Legislature, the latest version of SMART erects strong barriers to moving effectively toward 100 percent renewable power in the long run, and will cost many renewable jobs and millions of investment and tax revenue in this period of COVID-19. There are significant flaws cloaked within the regulations doubling the size of SMART. Embracing the proposed DOER regulations will: - Hamstring and slow down the Baker-Polito plan for 100 percent carbon neutrality, - Help keep solar as a small fraction of the power grid and protect the status quo and the fossil fuel-based utility business model;

We crested Atigun Pass on the Dalton Highway as the Arctic sun slid seemingly sideways across the cloudless northern sky. Before us stretched the true Arctic, that desolate swath of wind-weary, wilderness muskeg fit for no reasonable human, yet home to mankind for thousands of years. Here, where trees don’t grow and nude, rocky peaks rise abruptly from the swampy bottoms, caribou and muskoxen wander the willows. Arctic foxes dive into leafy caverns created by ground-hugging vegetation, rangey moose boldly navigate exposed river bottoms and … a pipeline runs through it. It’s odd to be “in the wild” when, off in the distance, this modern-day engineering marvel snakes its way across the tundra. Even after slogging across the muskeg to “get away from the road,” the pipeline still hugs the horizon, a reminder that, though it will eventually prove fruitless, we’re trying to show Mother Nature who’s boss. Honestly, it’s not unappealing. The Trans-Alaska pipeline is one of those mythical accomplishments that boggles

In 1946 Bobby Robinson opened his record store Bobby’s Happy House on 125th street in Harlem becoming the first black owned business on the famous Harlem street. The music business legend died yesterday at the age of 93. Five years after opening the shop he expanded into the music recording business working with hundreds of artists from Gladys Knight and the Pips to Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. In the late 1970s, Robinson became one of the first label owners to record rap music, cutting artists like Doug E. Fresh and Spoonie Gee. Robinson eventually had to move the shop around the corner in the late 1990s, and he closed for good on Jan. 21, 2008, when his new landlord decided to raze the building for a development. “I’ve seen 125th St. at its best and worst,” Robinson said in late 2007. “And I’ll tell you, there’s no more exciting place in the world.”

Welcome the ugly & boring looking front page of two interesting projects - ConvoFS and ConvoProxy - different approaches to the same challenge: bringing room correction and other DSP functions to audio playback setups that do not support it natively. ConvoFS is the oldest project -- it is a "convolving filesystem". This means it squeezes itself in between your the computer/NAS' disk and the media server. The big virtue of ConvoFS is that it - due to its design is media server agnostic. ConvoFS is not dead, but not much development takes place these days. ConvoProxy is the new big thing -- as the name suggest, it is a proxy - it intercepts the connection between your UPNP/OpenHome streamer and the media server. For new setups, you should probably consider ConvoProxy - this is where things happen. Furthermore, ConvoProxy is faster than ConvoFS, and the WAV conversion issues that afflicts ConvoFS is a non-issue. ConvoFS and ConvoProxy both run on Intel based Synology NAS boxes and ordinary Ubuntu/Debian Linux ma

A purple coneflower may sound more like a garden delight than something that you would use for medicinal purposes, but in 2005 it was the second highest selling herbal supplement in the U.S. Most people are more familiar with the colourful plant’s commonly used name – Echinacea. There are estimates that the first uses of Echinacea occurred as many as 400 years ago when Native Americans used the herb to heal wounds and infections, such as boils. The herbal health practices of the plains Indians caught on and spread as far as Europe. There was a sharp decline in the use of Echinacea during the mid 1940s when breakthroughs in antibiotics flourished. Then, an explosion of interest in herbal products in the U.S. catapulted Echinacea into the limelight once again. Today, Echinacea accounts for more than $21 million of the nearly $250 million of herbal supplements sold in the U.S. Evaluating the Health Benefits Of the nine species of Echinacea, only three are known to offer substantial health benefits: Echinacea

CCC publishes net-zero report panning agri-food policies, farmer blog-rants about NGOs, experts attempt to define ‘better and less’ meat, and chicken is apparently cheaper than chickpeas After the brevity of the new food strategy for England earlier this month comes 619 pages from the climate change committee detailing progress in reducing emissions. In summary: the government is half-decent at setting targets and talking about its net-zero ambitions but is taking what the committee refers to as a “high wire approach” to actually delivering them. “It’s kind of ironic that the CCC has named this a ‘progress report’ when the government’s progress on climate policy is grinding to a standstill,” said Greenpeace UK’s Ami McCarthy. Progress in reducing farming emissions has been particularly “glacial”, according to the committee. Despite being vital to delivering net-zero, agriculture and land use have “the weakest policies”, it warned, with the government’s strategy of a fortnight ago (33 pages) doing little to ad

In Robineau v. France, the death of a suspect in custody caught the attention of the European Court of Human Rights. Dr. Michel Robineau was in the Tribunal de grande instance courthouse under police custody, in connection with an investigation following “a complaint for rape filed by two young women who accused him of unjustified vaginal probing.” Robineau asked the police if they could take off his handcuffs and let him talk to his attorney in private. The police honored his request, and twenty minutes into Robineau’s conversation with his attorney, he unexpectedly stood up, apologized to the lawyer, and jumped out of the window to his death. Robineau’s family believed that the police were obliged to keep him safe. Robineau’s family filed a criminal complaint for manslaughter and a civil action for damages against the officers. Both cases were dismissed, and the investigating judge in the criminal matter stated that it was not foreseeable that the suspect would commit suicide. On appeal, the Court of Cassat

If you’re gifting or selling your Ring Doorbell, you’ll want to reset it, so it’s ready for a new owner. This post will teach you how to reset a Ring Doorbell. If you’re having problems with your gadget, you must fix it as soon as possible. Your Ring is an asset to your home and adds a layer of protection. To assist you, we’ve included instructions on restoring your Ring Doorbell’s factory settings. Difference between reset and restart Though these words are similar, they represent entirely different ideas. The two processes are very distinct and achieve dissimilar results. Erasing is the same as resetting. A restoration or factory reset is the process of returning a device to the condition it was in when it was initially acquired. It’s essentially a wipe-and-reinstall of a system, as the only method to do a genuine reset is to delete all of the present software. This is mainly used to put all of your settings in order and allow the device to have a fresh start. If your Ring has been installed for a long time

After the attacks on 11 September 2001, Apache units made significant contributions to the Coalition campaign against Taliban and al-Qaeda forces in Afghanistan. Functioning as the 'killer' part of US Army Hunter- killer teams, Apaches sought out and brought overwhelming firepower to bear on Taliban and al-Qaeda forces, as well as providing direct support to Coalition troops on the ground. Apaches spearheaded the advance of the 3rd Infantry and the 101st airborne divisions into Iraq, engaging in some of the heaviest fighting along the western axis of advance. Weather and enemy fire took a heavy toll on Apaches operating in Western Iraq, but the resilience and flexibility of the Apache was central to the success of this campaign. 90 foto in

Plumbing contractors are the correct people to approach when a homeowner wants to install a new kind of plumbing system at his house; on the other hand, they can help at a new home that someone is construction where he or she needs state of the talent plumbing services. It is quite often a headache to the homeowner when there are plumbing troubles at home. There might be a leaky tap or a broken pipe that plumbing service providers can fix within minutes. The average homeowner spends about 17% of his home building investments setting up the plumbing system. That is not a large amount when a person thinks of the fitness hazards he may have had to face with a bad plumbing system. It takes cash to keep the home plumbing system in good quality working situation. It not only adds to the ease of up to date living but works for the general fitness of the family.

Cherry Valley refuge receives fed designation Local residents, conservation activists and political leaders such as Congressmen Paul Kanjorski, D-11, and Charlie Dent, R-15, are to be congratulated for last week's federal designation of Cherry Valley as a National Wildlife Refuge. Even Kanjorski expressed surprise at the speed of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service designation. Informational meetings on the proposal were held early this year, and public testimony was heard last month. It is the first national refuge in the Northeast in 10 years, and only the third such designation in Pennsylvania. (Read all about it and view some of the beautiful landscape at www.PoconoRecord.com/cherryvalley.) The National Wildlife Refuge encompasses a potential acquisition boundary of more than 20,000 acres between Godfrey Ridge and Kittatinny Mountain. It includes land in Delaware Water Gap and Stroud, Hamilton, Chestnuthill, Ross and Smithfield townships. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will make federal money available

|Newfoundland's Grand Banks Message Board| |A Squires Harbour Grace Tale |Page 1 of 1| |Author:||greg [ Sun Dec 01, 2013 8:06 pm ]| |Post subject:||A Squires Harbour Grace Tale| Based on my research this year, the following story came together in September of this year. William Curtis Squires was from Broad Cove North (Bay de Verde District). He married Harriet Parsons from Bears Cove, Harbour Grace. They had at least three children: Robert Arthur(b.1875 and d.1900 in St. John's), Allan Parsons(b.1877) and Charles Gregory(b.1880). All were baptised in the Methodist Church in Harbour Grace. The family lived in Bears Cove, Harbour Grace. William was the son of Gregory Squires(b.1821) Broad Cove North. When Harriet died Nov 28 1890, she was described as the wife of the late William Squires so I know that William died some time before Nov 28 1890. Harriet's funeral was held at the residence of Alex Squires who also lived in Bears Cove in 1890. Could Alex Squires be related to William? A girl named Amelia Davis Hi

Let’s pretend that there is a small Japanese restaurant that you have been going to for years. It’s nice, quiet, and they know your name. The food is delicious and a fair price and they even make special orders for you. Now you have been going for years, and there is something that you never noticed until recently. It’s just that, the leftmost stall in the restroom is always out of order. At the engagement party.  The night you celebrated your new job. The day you had two bottles of sake with your coworkers at lunch then went back to work and no one noticed. The day everyone was snowed in and they were the only restaurant open. It’s just that tonight, tonight as you are washing your hands you notice that there is a new sign taped to the stall. The paper is white, taped up with cello tape. The letters are large and red, and simply read, “OUT OF ORDER.” But this time you really look at the door. The metal lock has been mangled shut and the space between the door and the wall has been taped over with

Even the most conservative estimates place losses from elder financial exploitation at $36 billion each year. And that’s just what’s reported to financial companies and the police. “Elder financial abuse is happening in America at an alarming rate – if it was reported as often as it happens,” asserts Syracuse-based CPA and financial planner Ted Sarenski. Why does elder fraud happen? There several reasons seniors are particularly vulnerable to financial frauds, chief among them: 1. Assets: “We have largest and wealthiest population of seniors ever as the Boomers age into the senior population,” explains Chicago area author Glynnis Walker, whose own mother was an elder fraud victim. “Elderly women are particularly vulnerable because they often outlive their husbands and end up with funds from investments, real estate and life insurance and they are lonely.” 2. Loneliness: A landmark study from the University of California, San Francisco found that more than 43% of seniors regularly felt lonely. And loneliness h

While dreaming of an election usually foretells about social interactions, it can have many different meanings. In this case, the dream likely has something to do with issues surrounding your standing within the political groups. If you are the candidate in a dream of the election, someone may be watching your actions carefully. You must understand whether this is good or bad as far as your mind goes and then act accordingly in real life to avoid any consequences. You may have seen an election, voted in one, or been a candidate running for president in your dream. You could also be a president of the United States and see yourself voting during this country’s general elections on TV. Excitement fills the air as a decisive victory is revealed. You’ve won an election and made positive changes happen! Dreams about elections taking place in your life usually mean that you should examine the possibilities and options before deciding.

Heading into 2020, a robust development pipeline and rising costs of construction material and labor were major concerns for the multifamily sector. The economic devastation wrought by the COVID-19 shutdowns has put a halt to that, scrambling the projections of economists, developers and contractors. Developers aren’t exactly finding bargains at the moment, since there’s now also downward pressure on rents and potential returns. The net result is that even as more companies re-open for business most multifamily developers are still hesitating to start big projects or sign big deals to purchase materials. Those big deals that could help establish a new normal for construction prices are largely in a holding pattern, especially now with worrying signs of new spikes in COVID-19 case counts and rising hospitalization levels in many states. “Generally pre-COVID pricing is still prevalent,” says Paula Cino, vice president of construction, development and land use policy for the National Multifamily Housing Council

Strawberry and Cream-cheese Santas Bring on the Santa parade! These fanciful treats were fun to make, if a little time consuming considering they have only a few ingredients. Mum and I had a recipe to work from, but we sized it down to make 11-12 Santas. The recipe can be suitable for those who are gluten- free. Just check the icing sugar is gluten-free and use gluten- free chocolate to make tiny drops for the eyes. By using light cream-cheese instead of whipped cream, the recipe is slightly healthier. The cream-cheese has the added advantage of being firmer in consistency than whipped cream, so it holds in place. But, if constructing this recipe quickly, fresh whipped cream can be used, (canned whipped cream is not advisable) and the whipped cream will hold its shape long enough, if they are going to be consumed soon after making. Otherwise they may melt and red strawberry juice may leach out into the white cream. This recipe is for 11 Santas. 80 g of Philadelphia Light cream-cheese 3 teaspoons of icing sugar

1. Find a Routine If you have flexible hours with your work you might find certain times of day more productive than others and you can scheduled your time accordingly. Try to include regular start/finish times to ensure work doesn’t creep in to your personal time. I’ll mention exercise again later but this should form part of your routine for both your physical and mental health. 2. Set up your work station Often our work stations at home aren’t nearly as well set-up as our office stations. Don’t forget your ergonomics at home. If you work from home on a laptop make sure the top of the screen is at your eye height when you are sitting (or standing if you have a standing option), this might mean connecting a different keyboard so your wrists and elbows can be in a neutral alignment. Make sure you have a comfortable chair and your feet can rest on the floor or a footstool so that your knees are just below hip height. 3.

MORE than 900 bodies have so far been dug up in Malaga in what is, so far, Spain’s largest civil war mass grave. Last month, investigators announced that they have begun looking for at least six more burial sites at the San Rafael cemetery in Malaga city. Over a dozen volunteers have already found 12 communal graves within the cemetery, which was formerly a sweet potato plant. But last week the team of investigators found a document that mentions “grave number 18” so further digging continued. Among victims of Franco’s firing squads during the civil war, they have found a larger than normal percentage of youths and women. Alarmingly, this also includes a number of babies and small children. According to the chief of the local Association against Silence and the Recovery of Historical Memory, Francisco Espinosa, 50 children’s remains have so far been exhumed. “But it is yet impossible to confirm whether they were shot, or perhaps died from an illness such as typhoid,” he said. New bodies are found each week an

In the latest data theft news circles, ten hackers have been arrested around the world following a series of ‘sim swapping’ attacks targeted at high-profile victims in the United States. The aim was to hijack phone numbers of famous musicians, sports stars and online influencers as well as family members which allowed them to steal over $100m in cryptocurrency from illegal access to their mobile devices. The first arrest was made in Malta and quickly followed by another in Belgium, with the following arrests coming from a variety of countries. What started as an international investigation in Spring of 2020 was a compiled effort by law enforcement agencies in the UK, US, Belgium, Canada and Malta, co-ordinated by Europol. All ten of the arrested individuals belonged to the same criminal organization, who worked together to access various victims phone numbers and control apps and accounts by change of passwords. This allowed the criminals to steal money, cryptocurrencies and personal information from the vict

What are the factors or elements of 594 PC Vandalism? Under Penal Code 594 PC, California’s vandalism and graffiti law, prohibits maliciously doing any of the following things to someone else’s property: - Defacing it with graffiti or other written material, - Damaging it, or - Destroying it. When most people hear the term “vandalism,” they may think of neighborhood kids who end up in the California juvenile court system for smashing peoples’ mailboxes. But in fact the California crime of vandalism includes a number of activities that you might not immediately think of. Some examples are: - During a fight with your husband, breaking some fine china that you own together; - “Keying” the car of someone you know as an act of revenge for something awful they’ve done to you; and - Writing your name in wet cement on a city sidewalk. And, in fact, vandalism charges are serious business in California. A vandalism conviction can result in penalties that include jail time and very large fines.

3 Steps to Improve Supplier Quality in Your Supply Chain Quality, health, safety and environmental management systems, such as ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 require organizations to establish criteria for their suppliers. Supplier quality extends beyond getting the lowest cost, or fastest delivery on a part or service. Supplier quality is a supplier’s ability to deliver goods or services that will satisfy customers’ needs, as defined by the American Society for Quality (ASQ). If your organization incorporates outsourced parts and services into your final products and services, supplier quality is critical to your organization. This article will outline three steps to take to improve supplier quality in your supply chain. 1.

Graphic by Sheena Lai; image Seascape by Mossy Muldoon. Ever since the publication of Paul Gilroy’s The Black Atlantic almost thirty years ago in 1993, C.L.R. James has been seen as a paradigmatic black Atlantic intellectual, and his work – including his classic history of the Haitian Revolution, The Black Jacobins (1938) - has often been interpreted through that frame.1 Susan Gillman’s fascinating new study American Mediterraneans: A Study in Geography, History, and Race asks us (among other matters) to speculate about whether another sea, the Mediterranean, might also offer a productive framework for further thinking about The Black Jacobins. James described how Toussaint Louverture, before becoming the leader of the Haitian Revolution, read and was inspired by the Abbé Raynal’s Histoire philosophique des Deux Indes (1770), which denounced the barbarity of slavery in the New World and predicted an “avenger” could one day arise, a new Spartacus.

It was a dialogue co-arranged by Focali (Forest, Climate and Livelihood research network) and SIANI (Swedish International Agricultural Network Initiative). It’s been around a year since the COVID-19 pandemic emerged worldwide. Yet, the impacts of it will extend over many years. Currently, there are various entities that are deeply impacted by the pandemic globally as well as nationally. Forest resources and forest communities can be considered as one of them. Most importantly, the world is still in the process of identifying the extent of these implications. This dialogue has been an instrumental platform in creating awareness

Fire is something we all fear and respect and is the biggest threat to our homes and families. Although we fear fire, we fight it like an enemy. Residential and commercial structure fires have been fought by firefighters since the dawn of the bucket brigade. The science behind sizing up a structure fire and devising an attack plan is cookie cutter to most modern fire departments. In the case of a fire in a high-rise building, the factors that surround the situation present an immediate danger to life and health for a few reasons that differ from residential firefighting. Building construction plays a big role in how the fire evolves because of available flow paths and open corridors. Stairwells and elevators act as chimneys that vent the fire, allowing hot toxic gasses to build, off gas, and ultimately flash on higher levels of the building. The lack of egress poses a major difference in high-rise fires compared to residential fires. The lack of ability to simply get out fast results in fatalities in high-ris

Projects that focus in relation to the needs from the customer generally have got more powerful outcomes than those that focus on the product itself. As a result the desire to keep a customer happy is undoubtedly paramount to most project executives – they know that the customer will need to sign-off on the completed job and if they are not pleased considering the end-result then your task are not regarded a success. Nonetheless on the other palm task management director also offers to keep a good grip on finances as well as the project schedule, which by natural means means handling requests just for change. If the scope from the project begins to diverge greatly from the original requirements then this client may be completely happy with the completed product but they will absolutely certainly not be happy with the budget and time over-run. Just how does indeed a project manager put the client’s wants first when they want to change details of the job part-way through the timetable but even now be capable of

A new detailed analysis just released from the hub of Italy’s Covid-19 outbreak found 10 cases of a Kawasaki disease-like illness in children, adding to reports of about 90 similar cases from New York and England. Kawasaki disease is a rare condition that typically affects children younger than five years old. It causes blood vessels to become inflamed and swollen. Typical symptoms include fever and rash, red eyes, dry or cracked lips or mouth, redness on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, and swollen glands. But it is a disease that is very similar to Kawasaki disease that has the medical community worried. Pediatric Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome or PMIS is a new health condition that has started appearing in children during the pandemic and it shares similar symptoms to Kawasaki disease, marked by a persistent fever that lasts several days, inflammation and poor function in one or more organs.

Lichen sclerosus is a skin problem that causes thin, wrinkled white patches that are itchy and painful. If the skin tears, bright red or purple spots may appear. Doctors don't know the exact cause of this problem. But genetics, autoimmune diseases, and changes in hormone levels may be part of the reason. It is not caused by an infection and is not contagious. Anyone can get lichen sclerosus, but women who have gone through menopause are more likely to get it. This skin problem can affect any part of the body. But in most cases, it occurs on the skin of the anus (the opening where stool leaves the body), the vulva (the area around the vagina), and the tip of the penis in men who haven't been circumcised. If these skin patches are on the anus, vulva, or penis, they may need to be treated. If these areas are not treated, the skin can thicken and scar. This can cause the openings to the vagina and anus to become narrow and the foreskin over the penis to tighten and shrink. If this happens, going to the bathroom a

November 19, 2021 The stated US aim when indirect US-Iranian talks resume this month is to see if the two can revive a 2015 nuclear deal, but Washington’s unspoken goal may be to win support from China and Russia to pressure Iran if the talks fail, diplomats said. Western diplomats have said time is running low to resurrect the pact, which then-US President Donald Trump abandoned in 2018, earning Iran’s fury and the dismay of the remaining major powers in the pact – Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia. Under the agreement, Iran limited its nuclear program in exchange for relief from US, EU and UN economic sanctions. Trump’s 2018 decision to reimpose harsh US sanctions prompted Tehran to begin breaching the deal’s nuclear restrictions. The three European nations have worked hand in glove with the United States to try to restore the deal and Russia has been supportive, notably at the Vienna-based UN nuclear watchdog that monitors Iran’s eroding compliance. China, however, has undercut US leverage by buyi

WASHINGTON – The United States Supreme Court has rejected for the third time a challenge to the country’s leading health insurance law that provides millions of Americans with coverage to help pay their medical bills. The court, in a 7-2 ruling, on Thursday rejected an offer by 18 Republican-led states and former President Donald Trump’s administration to overturn the 2010 Affordable Care Act. It was the iconic legislative achievement of former President Barack Obama, Trump’s immediate predecessor, and is popularly known in the United States as Obamacare. The country’s highest court also dismissed challenges to the law in 2012 and 2015, with the three rulings keeping politically popular provisions in place such as allowing young adults to stay on their parents’ insurance policies until l age 26 and provide coverage for patients with pre-existing illnesses. conditions. As originally approved by Congress, the law required people to pay a penalty if they chose not to purchase health insurance. But Congress in 20

Financial Planning, Investment Solutions & Retirement Plan Solutions Published by Pat Sweeny on May 23, 2022 2:06:25 PM We have posted videos and articles about how difficult it is to time the stock market. Indeed, we believe it is a fool’s errand and over a half century of data supports this position. Perhaps you’ve listened to Talking Real Money on the radio or the podcast to hear Tom & Don discuss this topic time and again. For these reasons we will not indulge in the evidence yet again but we will talk about why it’s so very hard to resist attempting to time the market. Some of you will have heard the term Behavioral Finance. The research behind this term dates back to the early 90’s and comes largely from Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman, the latter winning the Nobel Prize in Economics for his work. (The prize is not awarded posthumously as Tversky passed in 1996). Without delving too deeply into the esoteric details of their research, Behavioralism explains why many humans act irrationally, particularly

Brain attack: correlative anatomy. Brain attack is a synonym for stroke. Brain attack or stroke is defined as a sudden neurologic deficit caused by interruption of blood flow to the brain.[1,4] This interruption of blood flow may be caused by cerebral thrombosis, embolism or hemorrhage.[1,4] The increasing use of the term brain attack by health care professionals is an attempt to convey the seriousness and urgency of stroke to the public.[1,2,3] Approximately 10% of brain attacks are preceded by transient ischemic attacks. Public education is being focused on prevention, recognition of symptoms and early treatment of brain attack.[1,2,3] Despite advances in the treatment of brain attack, it continues to be the third leading cause of death in the United States. Half of all patients hospitalized for acute neurological diseases are diagnosed with stroke, and stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States. Persons with brain attack are treated throughout the entire health care delivery s

A major literary event when it was published in Viking hardcover in 2007, this is the uncut version of an American classic—rougher, wilder, and more provocative than the official work that appeared, heavily edited, in 1957. This version, capturing a moment in creative history, represents the first full expression of Kerouac’s revolutionary aesthetic.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

You may have visited Mexico but when you come to Merida, Yucatan, you’ll be transported to another world. Merida, as the capital of the state of Yucatan, is a city with a rich Mayan heritage. The 1.6-million-person city was founded in 1542 by the Spanish conquistador, Francisco de Montejo. The city itself was built on the site of the ancient Mayan city of Tho. While Spanish is spoken here, you’ll also find yourself interacting with modern Mayans and hear their language. Yes, you’re still in Mexico but a large percentage of the population is of Mayan descent. Originally a walled city that was designed to protect citizens from Mayans in rebellion on the outside, Merida has grown to be a vibrant metropolis. While completely captivating in its own right, Merida is also well situated for great day trips. Several beaches are close by, but the best experience is to swim in the many cenotes in and surrounding the city. With children not long removed from their swimming lessons, the open- air cenotes are best, while sn

If you are learning how to make recipes for wild game it can be the most challenging but also the most fun. Game includes all wild birds and animals. Most popular are the rabbits, game birds and venison. Grouse, quail, partridge, pheasant and wild duck are the most popular of the game birds. There are others that are used to a lesser extent. They are prepared and cooked much like the chicken. I have never been into wild game cooking, but I remember my dad saying many times, “You must soak wild game overnight in salt water to take that wild taste away.” My dad, as well as my mom, was a good cook so I always listened to what he had to say. Many times I remember having wild rabbit and other wild game on the table and everyone would rave on the flavor. If you are learning how to make recipes for wild game cooking a guinea hen might be a first step. Although guinea hen has long been a staple in European countries it has not been so popular here in the United States. When I was young there were hundreds (maybe thou

Unfortunately, the baby’s face was bitten by a rodent and reportedly suffered over 100 injuries. It was reported that parents of babies before leaving their babies, they did not wipe their faces from leftover food after feeding their children. After being left for 15 minutes without parental supervision, the baby was already in a dying state. The baby’s mother was really shocked and immediately took her child to the hospital.

On the December morning that Jo Phoenix, professor of criminology at the Open University, was to give a lecture at Essex University on trans rights in prisons, Twitter roared into action, with several Essex staff and students tweeting allegations that a “transphobe” would be on campus. By 10am Phoenix was warned by a member of university staff that some students were threatening to shut down her lecture, as they said LGBT+ staff and students wouldn’t feel safe if Phoenix gave her talk. At midday the university decided to cancel it because disruption looked inevitable, and proper academic discussion unlikely. “I was furious,” Phoenix says. “It was very clear to me that those agitating were fundamentally anti-academic because they condemned me and my research without hearing what I had to say.” Phoenix, who is adamant she is not transphobic, had given the same talk at the University of Newfoundland in Canada a month earlier, to an audience that included trans scholars, without controversy. “They all liked it.

The book "Better Health with (Mostly) Chinese Herbs and Foods" by one of the leading experts on botanical products in the Western world and an expert in traditional Chinese medicine, Dr Albert Y. Leung. The author explains complexity of the views on the therapeutic use of herbs and compares their effect with the effects of chemical drugs. He points out that a number of mono- constituent chemical substances and substances originally isolated from herbs works different in human body compared with the identical substances contained in the combination of ingredients in natural herbs. The interaction of natural components, which we are often unable to describe despite advanced science, makes the toxic component an effective mixture with significantly weakened adverse effect and tolerance and healing effect. Both, worldwide and local legislation do not create optimal conditions for the introduction of traditional herbs and herbal extracts used as medicine, although the tendency to seek non-toxic drugs is growing sig

He told them, “I continue to be much more concerned… with the prospect of a nuclear weapon going off in Manhattan than with Russia.” However, once again, America’s counterterrorism agencies were a step or two behind the enemy. The next day, their officials conveyed to the media their mounting concern about the “coalescence in Syria” of al Qaeda fighting strength pouring in from Afghanistan, Pakistan, the US, Canada and parts of Western Europe. Syria had become America’s most critical homeland front, they said. But, say DEBKA Weekly’s counterterrorism watchers, their target has spread far beyond Syria.

This man-made or natural subject gives the viewer a very definite part of the scene to focus in on, and will often provide a much needed “sense of scale.” Providing a sense of scale is accomplished when a known object, such as a person, tree or bus, is included in the image so that our brains can immediately form an impression of the overall scene and accurately calculate its size.

How To Remove Pet Hair From Your Home Cats and dogs are a big part of the family, and bring lots of love (and cuddles) but also leave a ton of hair throughout the home. To avoid a pet hair explosion, the below tips are paws down the easiest way to remove fur from your furniture, floors, and, of course, your clothes. Clean the floors The most effective method to keep your floors fluff-free is to vacuum at least once a week. Alternatively, a robotic vacuum is the way forward for managing pet hair so you don’t have to. - Removing pet hair from wood and tiles: An electrostatic dust mop, such as a Swiffer, will attack and capture the hair instantly. You can even use a microfibre cloth wrapped around your regular mop to achieve that electrostatic power. Make sure to keep the head dry, and run the mop slowly over the floors working in a “w” motion so as not to miss a spot. - Removing pet hair from carpets: Dust some baking soda over the carpets prior to vacuuming to loosen the hair from the carpet fibres.

Early in the morning, at 03:58:15 local time, MASCOT will separate from Hayabusa2 and land on the surface of Ryugu a few minutes later. It will already begin to conduct scientific measurements before starting its descent, and will continue doing so after landing, right up until its battery runs out. Standing on the surface, MASCOT will observe its surroundings and carry out various measuring sequences, depending on whether it is night or day at the landing site at the time. A day on Ryugu is only 7:38 hours, meaning that MASCOT will land in the early afternoon, local asteroid time.##markend## In order for MASCOT to be able to carry out its scientific measurements, the MASCOT Operations Team has undertaken many months of intensive preparations at the control centre in Cologne.

There is every reason why the strange and unsettling fate of Joseph K, the central character of Franz Kafka’s novel, should provide fertile material for Philip Glass. His unmistakable musical style is well suited to the episodic nature of the story and to underscoring the tension and unease that permeates the tale of the downfall of Joseph K. And to persuade Christopher Hampton to provide the libretto ought to have sealed the deal. But, despite all these strengths, the opera never quite works. Kafka, who was born in Prague, began the novel in 1914. Like all great works, it has been claimed by a number of cultural and political causes but it has always eluded easy categorisation. Glass has said that he thinks the story is highly comic but, even if that is the key to his reading of the tale, it is only partly true – it is perverse to ignore the underlying tide of paranoia that leads to the downfall of Joseph K.

Fallone di Gravina Place of Origin Fallone of Gravina cheese takes its name from the word "fallone" which means empty, and refers to the fact that can not be stored and therefore must be consumed immediately. The Fallone di Gravina is a fresh cheese, with no rind, delicate, soft, white, compact and with a distinctive flavour. It must be consumed in one day because it uses raw milk instead of pasteurized milk. The preparation of the Fallone di Gravina consists in adding to the sheep's milk, used for its preparation, 15% of goat milk. This is done to give the cheese a spicier flavour. Once produced, the cheese is inserted in container that are then immersed in brine for 15 minutes. It is a table cheese but it can also be used as a seasoning for various recipes. Fallone di Gravina pairs well with Martina Bianco DOP or Ostuni Bianco DOP.

It is important to remember that liposuction is a contouring operation, not an operation performed for weight loss. Nonetheless, patients naturally want to know how much fat was removed during their liposuction procedure, and they frequently want to know how much that fat weighs. Prior to aspirating the fat, a wetting solution (also called tumescent fluid) is infused in the areas that are going to be treated. This wetting solution typically consists of IV fluid, lidocaine, epinephrine. The purpose of tumescent fluid is to provide some pain relief, reduce blood loss, and allow the fat to be aspirated more easily. Different surgeons will elect to infuse different volumes of this wetting solution prior to performing the liposuction. The aspirate that is removed during suctioning consists of a mixture of both fat and fluid. With time, the aspirate will separate into a fat layer on the top (because fat is less dense than water) and a fluid layer on the bottom. The fat layer consists of particulate fat and a small

Cuban experts in masculinities are pinning this problem as one of the reasons why men account for the majority of fatalities across the world, as a result of the pandemic. HAVANA TIMES – Reasons are still being investigated worldwide, but experts who study masculinities in Cuba claim that a patriarchal culture, traditional gender norms and stereotypes and, as a result, machismo, increase risks for men more than for women during the COVID-19 pandemic. While women take on the responsibility of caring for others more, and make up 70% of medical personnel worldwide (according to the World Health Organization), men don’t look after themselves as much and continue to do the things which lead to an excess in male deaths, under normal circumstances. Coronavirus kills more men While official statistics about Coronavirus infections and death rates broken down by sex are pratically non-existent, data compiled from global media indicate that more men are dying than women.
