Greg McElroy of ESPN was on the call in Oxford when Ole Miss survived a rough start to race away from Georgia, giving Lane Kiffin and the Rebels a signature win for the 2024 campaign that also revitalized their College Football Playoff hopes. McElroy, like most SEC observers, foresaw a bleak outcome for Ole Miss following its opening possession. “If you would have asked me after the first series, how things were going to go for Ole Miss, I would have told you things are going to be really tough,” McElroy said on his show Always College Football. “Jaxson Dart gets hurt, Georgia goes right down and scores, and now you’re sitting there thinking ‘backup quarterback in the game, down 7, how is this going to be a good day for Ole Miss?'” But, backup quarterback Austin Simmons came in and led a scoring drive for the Rebels, stealing momentum right back. From that point on, Kiffin & Co. were the stars of the show, cruising to a 28-10 win. “They scored a touchdown and you feel like ‘Wow, I didn’t see that coming,'” McElroy explained. “Jaxson Dart and company were then able to scrape nine more points out of the first half, and they had a lot of things that Georgia had to account for, so Lane Kiffin and his offensive staff deserve a ton of credit.” McElroy went on to applaud the Rebel defense for its second-half showing, saying that they “settled in” and that the pass rush has become a truly elite unit. “Ole Miss keeps their playoff hopes alive, and they are not a team you want to see in the Playoff,” McElroy said. “They are extremely dangerous and they proved that yesterday. It’s one of the biggest wins in school history, and they are going to be really good down the stretch.” .@OleMissFB kept its playoff hopes alive with a HUGE win over Georgia — Always College Football (@AlwaysCFB) November 10, 2024 Current Missouri student entering my third year of covering Tiger football and basketball.

Festival: Extraordinary lineup for the eighth Guth Gafa International Documentary Film Festival Award-winning films that explore the relationship between humans and the planet we inhabit dominate the programme of the eighth Guth Gafa International Documentary Film Festival. The week-long film festival will get underway on Saturday October 25th and Sunday October 26th in Malin, Co Donegal and continue over the following weekend at Headfort House in Kells, Co Meath. Over 20 films from 15 different countries, celebrating the groundbreaking work of some of the world’s leading independent documentary filmmakers will be premiered in pop-up cinemas in both venues. The impact of conflict, globalisation and climate change on the lives of ordinary people resonates through this year’s programme, with a sprinkling of magic thrown in. “It is one of our strongest programmes to date,” said director, David Rane. “We are delighted that almost all of the films we are screening this year will be having their Irish premiere at Guth Gafa and many of them have scooped top film awards at major international festivals, including two winners from this year’s Sundance Film Festival.” Thule Tuvalu, a quietly devastating portrait of two villages dangerously stuck between ice and sea, exposes the impact of climate change on the traditional lifestyles of the inhabitants of Thule, Greenland, the most northerly populated place on earth, and the remote South Pacific island of Tuvalu. Among the many programme highlights is this year’s Best International Feature Documentary at Hot Docs, Waiting for August, which documents the life of a 15-year- old Romanian teenager who is left to raise her six siblings while her mother is forced to work abroad. Return to Homs, winner of the World Cinema grand jury prize for Documentary at this year’s Sundance festival, is a searingly intimate portrait of a group of young revolutionaries in the city of Homs in western Syria and their resistance against the Bashir al-Assad’s regime. The Domino Effect, the winner of this year’s Krakow Film Festival, is a tragicomedy about how the sport of dominoes is extraordinarily intertwined with politics, set around the fate of the small Caucasian republic of Abkhazia since breaking from Georgia in a bloody civil war. Guth Gafa is also proud to be hosting the world premiere of the remarkable Irish documentary, La Violencia, the Untold Truths of Guatemala, a film by Kerry-based Bold Puppy productions, which focuses on the quest for justice of the indigenous Mayan women of Guatemala who were systemically subjected to torture and sexual violence during the country’s 36-year civil war. Happiness, which won the Best Cinematography award at Sundance, looks through the eyes of an 8-year-old Buddhist monk at progress and change in the underdeveloped nation of Bhutan since the King approved the use of television and internet in 19999, assuring the masses that such development was synonymous with the ‘gross national happiness’ of his country. The origins of the food we eat will be scrutinised through a number of hotly topical food-themed documentaries, including Canned Dreams from Finland, Food Chains from the USA , Meat and Milk from France, My Name is Salt from Germany,and the Irish-made Blood Fruit. These films will set the scene for panel discussions in both venues on the future of Irish agriculture and food production with input from award winning chef Richard Corrigan and cheese maker, Kevin Sheridan, among others. The festival will also reflect the changing landscape for making and distributing documentary films. An Honest Liar, a film by US-based directors Justin Weinstein and Tyler Measom, who will be in attendance, and profiles the colourful life of famed magician turned professional sceptic James ‘The Amazing’ Randi, was made possible thanks to over 3,000 people who donated $246,989 via Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign. In an exciting addition to this year’s programme, the final touches are being put to an international film forum, supported by the Honeycomb-Creative Works Programme, which will take place in the Virginia Park Hotel in Cavan on October 31st and will focus on how independent filmmakers can reach wider audiences and how their work can become a catalyst for change. With the same selection of films being screened in both Malin village and Headfort House, Kells, festival goers will be able to chose the location that best suits them. Alongside the films, visitors can also look forward to a packed programme of industry and social events in both venues. Full programme details are available on the Guth Gafa website www.guthgafa.com . The Guth Gafa International Documentary Film Festival is sponsored by The Arts Council, The Irish Film Board, The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, Honeycomb – Creative Works, Fáilte Ireland, Donegal County Council, Meath County Council, and RTÉ- Supporting the Arts.

With less than two months to go before being sworn into office again as the 47th President of the United States, President-elect Donald Trump is essentially picking up from where he left off during his term as the 45th President, in terms of his plans to implement tariffs. In posts made on his Truth Social platform earlier this week, Trump said that, on Jan. 20 when he takes office, he will sign an Executive Order, calling for a 25% tariff on all U.S.-bound imports from China and Mexico, as well as an additional 10% tariff on all U.S.-bound imports from China—with the latter announced in a separate Truth Social post “Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem,” Trump said on Truth Social. “It is time for them to pay a very big price!” On Wednesday, Reuters reported that no exemptions are planned for crude oil coming from Canada. The U.S. imports more than 4 million barrels of crude per day from Canada. “Across-the-board trade policies that could inflate the cost of imports, reduce accessible supplies of oil feedstocks and products, or provoke retaliatory tariffs have the potential to impact consumers and undercut our advantage as the world’s leading maker of liquid fuels,” a spokesperson for the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers group, which represents oil refiners, told Reuters. In a LinkedIn post, Jason Miller, Eli Broad Endowed Professor of Supply Chain Management and Interim Chairperson of the Department of Supply Chain Management within Michigan State University’s Eli Broad College of Business, explained that these tariff actions could ramp up inflation. As an example, he said a 10% universal tariff represents a 2.5% cost shock to goods. “This will be made worse because many manufacturers will respond to receiving tariff protection by raising their own prices,” he wrote. “One challenge with looking at costs alone is that markups also need considered, and we don’t fully know how wholesalers and retailers will respond. Regardless though…universal tariffs will be inflationary for goods. Anyone who is telling you otherwise either has a political motive or doesn’t understand basic economics.” What’s more, should President-elect Trump go through with these tariffs upon being inaugurated, various reports indicated they would run counter to the terms set forth in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which was inked during his first term in office. In response, Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbuam said the country could respond with its own tariffs on U.S. goods. “To one tariff will follow another in response and so on, until we put our common businesses at risk,” she said, according to a BBC report. Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he had spoken with Trump and would discuss the issue with Canada’s provincial leaders.

The supply chain crisis in the U.S. is affecting businesses of all types and sizes. There is a staggering pileup of cargo at major ports all around the country as freight companies are abandoning their cargo in shipping yards. Shortages of parts and labor have left ports across the county, such as the Port of Savannah, with 50 percent more containers than usual. Worse still, this is not showing any signs of going away. The manufacturing and delivering of products is becoming increasingly difficult for many businesses — security companies included. This specific problem has left system integrators scrambling for hardware that usually arrives in weeks. Instead, delivery now takes months — if it arrives at all. Unavailable product has disrupted many deployment projects, and software has been directly impacted by the reduction in hardware deliveries, leaving end-users wondering when they can complete their technology project. Being at the end of the supply chain, they are often left holding the check. They’ve likely paid upfront for products or services and can’t get much-needed solutions to their problems. Freedom of choice within the technology stack continues to prove invaluable. It is critical for end-users and system integrators alike. This open and technology partner-centric choice always powers flexibility and growth, especially during times like these. For example, open platform video management software (VMS) helps mitigate supply chain lockout. With an open platform, companies can work with thousands of vendors that supply cameras and IP devices, rather than being restricted to one manufacturer through an end-to-end or more restrictive platform VMS. As a result, end-users benefit from hardware component flexibility. At the same time, system integrators can complete their project on time, which is a game-changer during a prolonged period of supply-chain issues, late deliveries, and missed deadlines. System integrators and end-users who choose an end-to-end technology solution from a single manufacturer for their security needs may encounter risk and disappointment as they wait in vain for specific parts to arrive. With an end-to-end technology solution, system integrators can only use specific components that fit into the bigger picture, like a dedicated key that fits into a lock. With an open platform solution, system integrators have flexibility of choice in the technology stack, possessing a “master” key that works with whichever lock they choose. If system integrators lose one lock (or if it gets tied up in a global supply chain crisis, for example), it is not a big deal — the master key will work on any lock. In addition to being a lifesaver during a supply chain crisis, an open platform VMS is agile. End-users don’t have to be concerned about being backed into a corner when choosing a solution that only works with specific components and integrations. Utilizing an open platform VMS, end-users are able to utilize technology that is readily available, which results in a level of efficiency that end-to-end platforms are simply lacking. Instead, they have the freedom to choose the integrations that they know will best suit their needs, and make the best financial investment. This is not just true at commissioning; it is true throughout the entire lifecycle of the investment. An open platform VMS prioritizes flexibility with components and complementary technology solutions. This allows system integrators to continue working to meet client demands on time without the hassle of dealing with supply chain disruptions. System integrators will have to be flexible enough to meet the objectives of end-users and understand how to navigate these conversations with a solution-focused mindset. Unfortunately, these supply chain issues are now present day reality. With no end in sight, companies and customers must somehow adapt to continue their regular business operations. By choosing an open platform video management solution, both end-users and system integrators can rest easy knowing they have invested in technology that seeks to solve issues instead of creating barriers, not only in the short term, but also in the long term. Open platform solutions encourage and support a rich community of innovators, while seeking to solve complex end-user issues. The current supply chain issues have reminded us of an important lesson that we’ve always known to be true: flexibility in the technology stack should always be prioritized for the best long-term solution, value, and return on investment.

On 14 September 2020, in the case of Taylor v Jaguar Land Rover Ltd (Case No. 1304471/2018), the Employment Tribunal held that the protected characteristic of gender reassignment under section 7 of the Equality Act 2010 (‘the Act’), extends to individuals who identify as gender fluid and non-binary. In this article, we discuss the case and what steps employers can take to ensure that they have an inclusive workplace. Equality Act 2010 The Act provides protection for individuals from discrimination, harassment and victimisation. There are 9 protected characteristics: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation. Under section 7 of the Act, a person has the protected characteristic of gender reassignment if the person is proposing to undergo, is undergoing or has undergone a process (or part of a process) for the purpose of reassigning the person’s sex by changing physiological or other attributes of sex. Prior to the case of Taylor, it was unclear whether the Act provided protection for intersex and non-binary individuals. The Case of Taylor v Jaguar Land Rover Ltd Ms Taylor (‘Claimant’) worked for Jaguar Land Rover (‘the Company’) for over 20 years as an engineer. The Claimant identified as gender fluid/ non-binary in 2017. The Claimant began to dress in women’s clothing and was subjected to insults and abusive jokes while at work. Receiving no managerial support and having encountered difficulties in using the Company’s toilet facilities, the Claimant issued the following claims against the Company: - Direct discrimination, - Victimisation on the grounds of gender reassignment, - Constructive unfair dismissal. The Employment Tribunal upheld all of the Claimant’s claims against the Company and confirmed that the Equality Act provides protection to those who identify as gender fluid and non-binary. The Claimant was awarded with aggravated damages. These damages are awarded in serious cases, where employers have acted in a ‘high-handed, malicious, insulting or oppressive manner’ (Broome v Cassell & Co Ltd AC 1027). Read the full judgement of Taylor v Jaguar Land Rover Ltd here. Steps for Employers It is important for employers to promote inclusivity and diversity in the workplace. Employers can do this by undertaking the following steps: - Training on Equality and Diversity for all staff members, - Reviewing and updating Anti-Bullying and Equal Opportunities policies, - Organise events and activities which encourage inclusivity, such as: LGBT History Month, - Dress code – employers should check that their dress code does not discriminate against any of the protected characteristics, - Complete an Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) – employers can undertake an EIA. This will allow them to ensure that their policies and procedures are fair and do not disadvantage individuals with a protected characteristic. For further information, please see ACAS guidance on improving equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

A group of White Center businesses are still working to solve their street’s bike parking crunch by converting two car parking spaces in front of Proletariat Pizza and Caffe Delia into a bike corral for 20 bikes. But being (just barely) outside the Seattle city limits means they can’t simply request one through Seattle’s bike parking program, so they are forging new territory in King County. the White Center Community Development Association applied for and won a King County grant to make the corral happen, and supporters have been working to educate others in the community about the benefits of having enough secure and convenient bike parking. There will be another community meeting to discuss the project at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Sheriff’s storefront on 16th Ave SW just south of Roxbury. There is resistance against the idea, which is one reason it has been delayed so far. Here’s a recent note from Proletariat Pizza via facebook: A couple of Proletariat customers have been busting their asses to secure a grant to build a bike corral on 16th in downtown White Center. Bike parking=good, right? Unfortunately many business owners in White Center are against the bike corral and have been speaking louder than the supporters on this issue. Please join @Proletariat Pizza and Caffè Delia at a community meeting on Tuesday August 26th at 6:30pm at the Sheriff Storefront across the street. Please send any letter of support to sokha (at) wcccda (dot) org as well as bong (dot) stodomingo (at) kingcounty (dot) gov It’s unfortunate to see such resistance against something so positive for our community, when other neighborhoods are embracing this so wholeheartedly. We know many of you are biking families, and many of you are bike-parking supporters. We hope to see you there. Thank you. White Center Now reports that better bike parking has been in planning documents for years, and the debate comes as The Junction is also increasing bike parking: North of White Center, West Seattle’s first official bike corral was installed in The Junction just last month. Seattle now has 26 bike corrals, according to the city website. Portland has four times that, according to its website. Looking back at downtown White Center’s history, the angled parking dates to 1992. Branching out into a multimodal transportation system was foreseen in the 2007 “We Create White Center” report, which includes the goal (on page 15) “Create a community that supports and encourages bicycling as a mode of transportation,” and recommends “increased bicycle racks” (on page 95). This block of White Center has a history of leading on bike parking. In 2011, several businesses conspired to install a bike rack on the sidewalk in front of the Sheriff’s storefront complete with a sheriff’s star. And though the rack was not exactly legal, deputy BJ Meyers loved it. But the need for bike parking has far outgrown the few sidewalk bike rack options available, and it’s time to upgrade to a bike corral, supporters say.

It uses computer programs that can learn and make decisions, much like a human brain, but much faster and on a larger scale. This isn’t a new concept. AI has been part of SEO for years, but it’s now more accessible and powerful. Search engines like Google have been using AI to understand and rank websites for a while. There are different types of AI used in SEO. Two big ones are: - Machine Learning: This is where the AI learns from data to make predictions or decisions. It’s like how Netflix suggests shows you might like based on what you’ve watched. - Natural Language Processing (NLP): This helps AI understand and process human language. It’s what allows Google to understand the intent behind your searches, not just the exact words you type. So, what does this look like in practice? There are tons of AI-powered SEO tools out there. Some examples include: - Content optimization tools that suggest improvements to your writing - Keyword research tools that predict trending topics - Technical SEO tools that automatically find and fix issues on your site Using these AI tools can make your SEO efforts more efficient and effective. They can handle complex tasks quickly, freeing you up to focus on strategy and creativity. Why is AI SEO Important? Search engines are getting smarter every day. They’re not just looking at keywords anymore – they’re trying to understand what users really want and whether your content is good. AI helps you keep up with these changes, making sure your website stays visible. Since AI can crunch huge amounts of data, it can spot trends and patterns you might miss. Plus, it’s great at predicting what people will search for next. This means you can create content that’ll be in demand before everyone else catches on. A study by Salesforce found that 84% of marketers reported that AI-powered personalization has improved their content strategy. AI can also handle tedious tasks like finding keywords and checking your site for technical issues. This frees you up to focus on the big picture – planning your strategy and creating great content. In a nutshell, AI SEO is essential if you want your website to succeed online. How to Use AI SEO to Improve Search Engine Rankings Now that you understand more about AI SEO, let’s see how to use it to boost your rankings. Research New Ideas for Content Creation Creating a list of topic ideas is a great place to start when you’re new to SEO. But thinking up ideas on your own can be tricky. AI can help by giving you solid ideas in just a few minutes. Let’s say you have a recipe blog. A tool like ChatGPT can help you brainstorm ideas. Just type in something like, “Give me fun content ideas about healthy desserts.” In no time, you’ll get a list of ideas that you can potentially use, like: - “Quick Healthy Desserts You Can Make in 5 Minutes” - “Yummy No-Bake Desserts for Hot Summer Days” - “Healthy Desserts Using Old-Fashioned Grains” - “Vegan Desserts That Everyone Will Love” These AI ideas are a great start, but they’re not the whole story. Tools like ChatGPT don’t know about the latest keyword trends. So, use these ideas as a jumping-off point for more research. Perform Keyword Research Now that you have topic ideas let’s dive into keyword research. AI tools can make this job much easier and more effective. One really useful tool is LowFruits. It’s designed to find “low-hanging fruit” – keywords that are easier to rank for but still get decent traffic. For example, it might show you that “low sodium apple crisp recipe” is easier to rank for than just “apple crisp recipe.” LowFruits is also great at finding long-tail keywords. These are longer, more specific phrases that people search for. They might get fewer searches, but they’re often less competitive. The tool doesn’t just find keywords – it also tells you how hard it might be to rank for them. This helps you choose keywords you have a good chance of ranking for. While LowFruits focuses on finding easier keywords, other AI tools can help with different aspects of keyword research. Google Trends, for instance, can predict seasonal trends. For example, it shows that searches for “pumpkin spice recipes” spike every fall. This is super helpful for planning your content calendar. Tools like SEMrush or Ahrefs use AI to group related keywords together. They might show you that “healthy apple desserts,” “low-sugar apple recipes,” and “diabetic-friendly apple treats” are all related. This tells you that one article could target all these keywords at once. Write SEO Content with AI Once you’ve researched keywords, it’s time for content creation. AI can help here, too, making your writing more SEO-friendly. Let’s start with titles and meta descriptions. These are super important for SEO because they tell search engines what your content is about, but writing good ones is often tricky. Using AI for this job saves time, helps you include important keywords naturally, and can even suggest ideas you might have yet to think of. Plus, it’s trained on what works well in search results, so it can help your content stand out. SeedProd’s AI writing assistant is another powerful choice for creating copy for landing pages and websites. It can help you craft compelling headlines, write persuasive product descriptions, and even generate entire written sections of your website. This is a huge time-saver when you’re stuck or need fresh ideas for your site’s content. For a full walkthrough, see our guide on how to use AI to write content for your website. When using AI to help write your content, remember a few best practices: - Always start with a clear outline or brief. The more guidance you give the AI, the better its output will be. - Use AI-generated content as a starting point, not the final product. Always review and edit what the AI produces. - Include your target keywords naturally. Don’t stuff keywords just because the AI suggests them. Create High-Quality Images Images are essential for making your content look good and rank well. And this is another area where AI can help. There are some excellent AI tools out there that can make images for you, like DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion. You just tell them what you want, and they create it. But if you’re working on your website, SeedProd’s AI image tool is really handy. It’s made just for websites, so it knows how to create images that look great on your pages. You just describe what you want, and it produces images that fit your site perfectly. See our guide on how to use AI to generate images for all the details. AI-made images can give your SEO a boost in a couple of ways. They can make your content more eye-catching, which could keep visitors on your page longer. Plus, you can create images that perfectly match your content, helping to drive home your keywords visually. Don’t forget about alt text – it’s a key player in image SEO. This short description helps search engines understand what’s in your images. It’s also super helpful for people using screen readers. You can even get AI to write this for you too. Simply upload a version of your image and ask the chatbot to describe it. When writing alt text, be clear and try to include your keyword if you can naturally. Optimize Content Using AI AI isn’t just for creating new content—it can also help you improve your existing content with on-page optimization. For example, AI SEO tools can look at your content and suggest ways to improve it for SEO. This might include adding certain keywords, tweaking your headings, or adjusting your content length. For a full content audit, SEOBoost is a great tool to try. After adding a URL and keyword, it generates a report with suggestions on areas to improve. The report will detail the ideal keyword frequency, meta description length, and even the number of images to aim for. SEOBoost can also help make your content more readable and engaging. It might suggest using more paragraphs, adding subheadings, or using simpler language. These changes can keep visitors on your page longer, which is good for SEO. Improve User Experience and Voice Search More and more people are using voice search these days. In fact, 30% of internet users between 16 and 64 years old use voice assistants every week. That’s a lot of folks asking their phones and smart speakers questions. When people use voice search, they talk differently than when they type. They ask full questions. For example, instead of typing “apple crisp recipe,” they might say, “Hey Siri, what’s the best recipe for apple crisp?” To make your content good for voice search, you want it to sound natural. AI can help you rewrite your content to sound more like how people talk. FAQ-style content works well for voice search. You can use tools like ChatGPT to come up with questions people might ask about your topic. Then, you can write clear, short answers on your website. For help with this, you can see our guide on how to make a FAQ page in WordPress. Don’t forget about featured snippets. These are the quick answers you sometimes see at the top of Google search results. Voice assistants often read these out as answers. AI can help you set up your information so it’s more likely to be chosen as a featured snippet. Build More Internal Links Internal links help search engines understand your site structure, spread link equity around your site, and make it easier for visitors to find more of your content. But figuring out where to put these links can be tricky, which is where AI can help again. AIOSEO has an excellent internal linking tool that uses AI to suggest where to add links to your content. It looks at what you’ve written and finds related pages on your site. Then, it tells you where to add links to those pages. It can also show you which pages have lots of internal links pointing to them and which ones need more love. One really useful thing it can do is find “orphaned” content – pages that don’t have any other pages linking to them. These pages can be hard for both users and search engines to find. AIOSEO can spot these pages and suggest where to add links to them. Generate Schema Markup Schema markup helps search engines understand your content better. It’s important for SEO because it can help your site show up in rich results, which are those eye-catching search results with extra information. Luckily, you don’t need to know much about code to add schema to your site. You can actually ask AI chatbots to generate it for you. Simply ask it to create the type of schema you want, then add the code to your website. If you’re using WordPress, AIOSEO is a great tool for automatically generating schema markup. Just fill in some details about your content, and it will create and add the appropriate schema, making the process even easier. Here are some types of schema that it can help you create: - Article schema for blog posts and news articles. - Product schema for online stores. - Recipe schema for food bloggers. - FAQ schema for frequently asked questions. - Local Business schema for physical stores or offices. - Review schema to display star ratings in search results. - Event schema for websites that list events Analyze and Understand Data When it comes to SEO, there’s a ton of data to sort through. Website traffic, bounce rates, time on page, conversion rates – it can get overwhelming fast. With AI, you can quickly sift through mountains of data and spot important patterns. It can analyze way more information than a human could in the same amount of time and find connections that might not be obvious at first glance. For example, AI might notice that people visiting your site from a particular social media platform tend to stay longer and make more purchases. Or it could spot a sudden drop in traffic to a specific page you have missed. Its AI Insights Report is designed to make quick sense of your website data. The report looks at your website stats and provides clear, actionable information. It might tell you things like: - Which of your blog posts are most popular - Where most of your visitors are coming from - What times of day your site gets the most traffic - Which products are selling best (if you have an online store) This information can help you make smarter decisions about your content, marketing strategies, and SEO efforts. Instead of guessing what’s working, you’ll have AI-powered insights to guide you. Improve Your Website with AI SEO I hope these tips have helped you learn how to use AI for SEO to improve your rankings. Use AI tools to find the right words, write great content, and understand your audience. This means higher rankings, more visitors, and less work for you.

North America’s biggest seed industry event of the year, the American Seed Trade Association’s Field Crop Seed Convention, officially wrapped up today after four jam-packed days in Orlando, Florida. Throughout the convention, Seed World U.S.’ home base was the Seed World Media Center, powered by Corteva Agriscience. Located front and center in the foyer just outside the Seed Expo tradeshow doors, the Media Center was a buzz of activity all week. Whether you’re looking to relive the Field Crop Seed Convention’s learning and fun or you missed Orlando and are looking to experience highlights now, we’ve got you covered. We’re pleased to have captured many of the Convention’s key take-away moments and most important industry perspectives via exclusive interviews conducted all week. You’ve already seen and read some of our live coverage in our Seed World Daily newsletters earlier this week. Keep checking our website (www.seedworld.com) and your Seed World newsletters for much more great content and key take-aways from Orlando. We’re delighted to have made new connections, built memories with old friends, and had a ton of fun and learning along the way. If we missed you, please reach out! As we sign off from Orlando, a final nod of thanks to Corteva Agriscience for partnering with Seed World Group on the Seed World Media Centre. We appreciate their commitment to an informed, effective seed industry! On the subject of thanks, big thanks and kudos to the organizers of ASTA’s FCSC. The event was productive, informative and well-planned. Attendee numbers were down this year for multiple reasons: company belt-tightening, a tougher marketplace, people’s natural resistance to the unknown, travel complications for people used to driving to Chicago, and more. Assuming ASTA opts to once again host in Orlando next year, we’d encourage anyone who skipped Orlando this year to join us next year. As we said in frequently throughout this week, there really is no replacement for face-to-face.

De afgelopen jaren is Sevilla uitgeroeid tot één van de populairste stedentripbestemmingen van Spanje. De hoofdstad van de autonome regio Andalusië behoort samen met Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia en Malaga tot de top 5 steden van Spanje. Als je kijkt wat Sevilla allemaal te bieden heeft dan is dat niet merkwaardig. Laten we maar eens beginnen met het klimaat. Sevilla behoort tot de warmste steden van Europa, waardoor er een lange periode is waarin warm zomers weer vrijwel vanzelfsprekend is. Regenen doet het aanzienlijk minder vaak dan in Nederland en de zon laat zich daartegenover juist veel meer zien. Dit zorgt ervoor dat je in Sevilla vooral buiten leeft. De terrassen nodigen je uit om een drankje te komen doen, het liefst met een tapa erbij. In de avonduren is het lang gezellig in Sevilla en dan met name in en rondom de oude wijk Santa Cruz waar het stikt van de leuke restaurants en gezellige barretjes. Hier ervaar je het Andalusische leven ten top. Hier staat genieten centraal. Dat merk je vooral op zondagen als de locals er ook volop op uittrekken met hun families. Wie Sevilla wil bezoeken die heeft het geluk dat hij/zij rechtstreeks vanaf meerdere luchthavens in Nederland en België naar het internationale vliegveld van Sevilla kan vliegen. Met name Ryanair en Transavia vliegen meerdere keren per week richting Sevilla. De vluchtduur bedraagt gemiddeld ongeveer 2,5 tot 3 uur. Vooral tijdens ons koelere winterseizoen betekent dit dat je binnen een paar uur tijd van de kou naar een aangename warmte kunt vliegen. Wil je goedkoop naar Sevilla vliegen? Boek dan op tijd, want een paar weken voor vertrek zijn de vliegtickets naar Sevilla gemiddeld een stuk duurder dan wanneer je verder vooruit boekt. Dat geldt helemaal voor de schoolvakanties en tijdens lange weekeindes zoals met Pasen en Hemelvaartsdag. Voor een bezoek aan Sevilla mag je gerust meerdere dagen uittrekken. In de stad is zoveel te zien en te doen dat je je gemakkelijk een dag of drie tot vier zoet kunt houden en er vervolgens achter komt dat er je iets gemist hebt. Dat geldt zeker als je ook de archeologische vindplaats Itálica wilt bezoeken. Het is echter ook wel mogelijk om Sevilla in één dag te bezoeken. Focus je dan op de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden en stel op basis daarvan je dag in Sevilla samen. Zo kun je binnen één dag een fietstocht doen waarbij je een globale indruk krijgt van de stad en de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden en vervolgens het Alcazar en de kathedraal bezoeken. Er is dan ook nog tijd over om tussentijds te genieten van tapas en lekkere drankjes. In het prachtige verslag ‘Sevilla in één dag‘ kun je zien hoe zo’n dag eruit zou kunnen zien. Als je wilt gaan overnachten in Sevilla dan heb je de keuze uit honderden hotels, appartementen en pensions. Een zeer groot deel van de accommodaties zijn gevestigd in het centrum van Sevilla. Nu is het wel zo dat wat je als het centrum van Sevilla beschouwd een vrij groot gebied is. Het betekent dus niet automatisch dat een hotel in het centrum altijd even gunstig gelegen is als je veel wilt gaan zien en gaan doen in Sevilla. Het meest gunstig ten opzichte van de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden is het gebied dat ligt tussen het Real Alcázar aan de zuidkant, het Canal de Alfonso XIII in het westen, Calle Recaredo in het oosten en de Calle Alfonso XII en Calle Laraña in het noorden. Dit zijn de wijken El Arenal, Santa Cruz, Casco Antiguo, Alfalfa en Encarnación-Regina. Twee wijken die iets verder af liggen, maar wel lekker authentiek en sfeervol zijn, zijn Triana in het westen en Macarena in het noorden. Over het algemeen geldt dat accommodaties in de wijk Santa Cruz wat duurder zijn dan gemiddeld in Sevilla. Daar staat wel tegenover dat je hier de meest romantische sfeerhotels aantreft. Kies je ervoor om een hotel te boeken in Isla de Cartuja dan moet je er rekening mee houden dat je een aardig eindje van het centrum af zit. Lopen is geen optie meer, dus je bent aangewezen op taxi, een eigen auto of de bus. Je kunt hotels en appartementen in Sevilla boeken via booking.com. Het voordeel van deze site is dat je vaak accommodaties kunt boeken met gunstige annuleringsvoorwaarden. Wij gebruiken ook vaak Trivago voor het zoeken van de laagste prijzen. Deze hotelzoeker vergelijkt de prijzen bij verschillende hotelboekingssites waardoor je gemakkelijk de laagste prijzen kunt vinden. HOTELS EN APPARTEMENTEN IN SEVILLA De geschiedenis van Sevilla Sevilla kent een lange historie die begint op het moment dat de Grieken de stad stichtten. Dat geschiedde ongeveer duizend jaar voor het begin van onze jaartelling. Op het moment dat de Feniciërs en de Carthagenen zo’n vierhonderd jaar later de stad veroverden werd Sevilla een redelijk belangrijk handelscentrum. Toen de Romeinen hun grote Romeinse Rijk uitbreidden werd ook Sevilla veroverd. De stad kreeg de naam Hispalis. Daarvoor heette het Tastessos. De Romeinen hebben vlakbij Hispalis de ook Italica gesticht, wat tegenwoordig een belangrijke archeologische vindplaats bij Sevilla is. In Sevilla zelf zijn ook restanten terug te vinden uit het Romeinse tijdperk in de vorm van overgebleven zuilen en restanten zoals je die onder de Metropol Parasol kunt bewonderen. Na de val van het Romeinse Rijk is er lange tijd gestreden om Sevilla. Het Iberisch schiereiland was een soort van niemandsland geworden waar meerdere stammen probeerden een deel toe te eigenen. Uiteindelijk waren het de Visigoten die de macht kregen in Sevilla. Na meerdere machtswisselingen brak in 712 een belangrijk jaar aan voor Sevilla. De Moren veroverden delen van het Iberisch schiereiland en in 712 was het Sevilla die in handen kwam van de Moren onder leiding van koning Musa en zijn zoon Abd al-Aziz ibn Mussa. Dit was het begin van een paar eeuwen van rijkdom, welvaart en macht voor Sevilla. Samen met Córdoba groeide Sevilla uit tot de machtigste steden van de wereld. Amsterdam was amper meer dan een dorp op dat moment, Parijs was een rovershol dat amper betekenis had en Londen’s groei werd beperkt door veelvuldige aanvallen en plunderingen door Vikingen. Sevilla groeide daarentegen door tot een ware middeleeuwse wereldstad waar de islamitische cultuur heerste. Aan het einde van de elfde eeuw begon de stad zijn glans te verliezen. Sevilla werd steeds meer afhankelijk van Castilië en het katholicisme rukte op. Uiteindelijk was het Koning Ferdinand III die in 1248 Sevilla veroverde. Dit is het begin van het hernieuwde katholieke tijdperk. Moskeeën werden gesloten en islamieten moesten zich bekeren of vertrekken. De Joodse samenleving werd in eerste instantie wel ongemoeid gelaten, maar eind veertiende eeuw begon er een hetze tegen de Joden waarbij uiteindelijk in 1492 iedere Jood zich bekeerd moest hebben of anders Spanje moest verlaten. Het jaar 1492 is voor Sevilla een belangrijk jaar geweest. Dit is het moment dat de Christoffel Columbus Amerika ontdekte en de Spaanse kolonisatie van een groot deel van dat werelddeel startte. Dat geschiedde vanuit Sevilla. De stad werd ook de thuisbasis voor de zilvervloot. De stad ontwikkelde zich in razend tempo. Niet alleen op economisch gebied, maar ook cultureel. In de zeventiende eeuw brak er een periode van tegenslag aan. Verschillende rampen en de financiële crisis die in Europa uitbrak raakten ook Sevilla. De macht van de stad nam af. Wel trok Sevilla in deze periode veel gelovigen aan waardoor het aantal kloosters flink toenam. Eind negentiende eeuw kwam Sevilla weer in een positieve flow terecht tot het moment dat Generaal Franco de macht in Spanje overnam. Deze periode van dictatuur heeft een negatieve invloed op heel Spanje gehad. De val van het Franco-regime in 1975 was het startsein voor een nieuwe bloeiperiode voor Sevilla. Binnen enkele decennia heeft Sevilla de rol van belangrijkste stad in Andalusië weer op zich genomen met de Expo ’92 als hoogtepunt. Tegenwoordig is Sevilla een bloeiende en levendige stad die een enorme aantrekkingskracht heeft op toeristen uit binnen- en buitenland.

Hive of activity in the morning with club gliders being dragged to the far end of the field and 4 private glider being rigged. Clear blue sky but the possibility of thermal activity at some point, northerly straight down the strip offering high launches but not enough of it to bring the ridge to life. Visibility was exceptional.K8 back on-line so I test flew it with a 2,000′ launch and put Andrew B’s repair to the tailplane through its paces. At midday, just as the first hints of thermal activity appeared, the Janus had made it’s way to the front of the grid (yes, we had a queue for launches) and a black car appears. Out steps the CFI, already wearing his parachute, steps into the caravan to sign himself off on the flying list, then straight into the Janus and does the first soaring flight of the day – 21 minutes. Chris, contain yourself as Carol insists the flight was 22:15 because that’s what the LNAV said. I was even dragged over to verify this. Your choice whether to go with the log or the LNAV. Doesn’t really matter as later Carol and Phil did a 1:40 flight and at 16:30 (after a mass landing and it looked as if the thermic part of the day was at an end) they did a 23 minute “circuit”. Not the longest flights of the day though. Trevor G topped this with a 1:53 flight but the soaring god of the day was Colin B with 2:07.Jon G converted to the Vega which he then soared off a launch at 17:00. I was kept busy with annual checks (yup, that time has come back round) but indulged myself by ending the day taking the 52nd launch. Few feet short of the 2,000 this time and a gentle 15 minute drift to earth with the lengthening shadows. Over17 hours flown off 52 launches. 21 members flew using 8 gliders over 7 hours. A remarkable day for this time of year. The last time we flew over 50 launches was in June 2011 and the previous highest launch count in October was in 2007 when we did 43

David Fiorello triumphantly raised both arms high into the air, letting the moment sink in during the split-second before he was mobbed by his jubilant Royals teammates. It was the bottom of the seventh – the culmination of a remarkable comeback that began just an inning earlier when the Royals faced a daunting 8-2 deficit. Now trailing Anthony's Orioles 8 – 5, with the bottom of the Royals' order due up, the Orioles were just three outs away from forcing a decisive game 3. Aaron Bartelson ignited the inning with a leadoff triple. One out later, Chris Peterson singled him home, turning the lineup over. The bottom of the order had risen to the occasion. Consecutive walks to Tommy Apligian and Drew Waggoner loaded the bases and brought All-Star Scott Greenberg to the plate. Greenberg promptly singled in Peterson, keeping the bases loaded. As Fiorello stepped into the batter’s box , the weight of the moment heavy on his shoulders, Orioles' ace, Doug Kramer took a cautious approach with the Royals’ cleanup hitter, throwing a first pitch that was out of the zone. Fiorello wasn’t biting. With nowhere to put him and the tying run on third, Kramer had to throw a strike. A sacrifice fly would tie the game; a double play would end it. In a moment reminiscent of every child's backyard baseball dream, Fiorello crushed the 2 – 1 pitch, launching it on a majestic trajectory deep into the alley in center field where it slammed into the fence. Apligian and Waggoner – their arms raised in triumphant celebration; fists clenched – crossed home plate. Pandemonium ensued as the blue-hued throng of Royals fans roared their approval, their cheers echoing across the field as the Royals captured the American League title For the first time in their 15-year history, the Royals have secured a berth in the TSSL Championship Series. This unlikely, undaunted, unstoppable team finished off the 1-seed Orioles in two straight games, sweeping the American League Championship Series 9 – 7 and 9 – 8, the latter in exhilarating walk-off fashion on Sunday. Defense again played a leading role with the Royals throwing out two Orioles’ baserunners in game 1 and turning two double plays in game 2. Playing on field 2 on a sunny, 94° morning with a gentle 8-mph breeze blowing out to right field, the Royals set the tone early, erupting for five runs in the top of the first in the opener, parlaying three walks, four timely hits, and one costly Orioles’ error into five runs. The Orioles responded with two runs in the bottom of the frame and threatened again in the bottom of the second with runners on second and third and only one out. A slowly hit ground ball to shortstop seemed destined to score the third run for the Orioles, but Royals’ shortstop, Kyzer Hoover had other ideas. Hoover threw a strike to Peterson at home plate to nab the runner by a split second, marking Peterson’s fourth putout at the plate in a postseason filled with thrilling moments. The runner on second was stranded as the inning ended with the next Orioles’ batter. In the top of the third, Hoover performed an encore. Greenberg singled to lead the inning off, and after a fielder’s choice, Hoover doubled to put runners at second and third – his second two-bagger of the game. Ronel Martinez then launched a towering flyball to the base of the fence in right centerfield, allowing the runner on third to tag up and score easily. Hoover, not known for his speed, tagged up and headed toward third, surprising the Orioles by rounding third, turning on the afterburners, and racing home, extending the Royals’ lead to 7 – 2. The Orioles matched those two runs in the bottom of the third when Chris Stutz singled and former Royal, Ari Loiben coiled and unleashed a powerful swing, obliterating the ball, which rocketed off his bat, soaring high and far, landing somewhere on Ridgeview Blvd to make it 7 – 4. The Orioles plated one more in the bottom of the fifth, courtesy of former Royal, Jimmie Simeone’s booming double to left centerfield to pull to within two runs, setting the stage for the sixth inning, the most pivotal of the game. Hoover drew a critical base on balls to lead off the sixth, ensuring his perfect game at the plate. One out later, Hoover was still at first when Kyle Casper, subbing for the injured Ryan Greenberg, stepped to the plate. On a full-count pitch, Casper delivered the decisive blow when he launched a towering drive to left centerfield. Orioles’ left centerfielder, Loiben, appeared to have a beat on the ball, tracking it back to the fence. However, Loiben would run out of room as Casper’s blast kept sailing, finding a home over the fence. The Royals’ dugout erupted in jubilation, and Casper received a hero’s welcome and was mobbed by his teammates upon his return to the dugout. His blast restored the Royals’ lead to 9 – 5. In the bottom of the sixth, the Orioles quickly responded. Stutz singled, and Loiben doubled him to third. One out later, Kramer laced a line drive to center field. Waggoner laid out, going completely horizontal in his attempt to catch the ball, but his diving attempt missed by inches. Stutz and Loiben trotted home effortlessly. Apligian got to the ball and fired a missile to Hoover who had gone out to shallow center field to field the throw. Hoover turned and unleashed a rare, high throw that slammed into the concrete down the third base line and rolled perfectly back to Greenberg who was backing the play up. As Kramer attempted to extend his double to a triple, Greenberg fired a strike to Fiorello at third, who applied the tag in a bang-bang play to nail Kramer for the second out of the inning. This pivotal play altered the game’s momentum, preserving the Royals’ two-run lead. Though the next two Orioles reached base via hits, Greenberg escaped further damage when Casper made a leaping catch in left field on a line drive that had extra bases written all over it for the third out of the inning. A scoreless top of the seventh gave the Orioles an opportunity to win the game in the bottom of the seventh, but it would have to be the bottom four of their order that would need to rise to the occasion. It was a promising start as Simeone’s popup into shallow left field found green to start the inning, but Greenberg mowed through the bottom three to prevent the Orioles’ lineup from turning over and preserve the two-run victory. The Royals’ defense, the team’s backbone throughout the season, proved pivotal once again on Sunday. Their stellar plays maintained control in a game they never trailed, setting the tone for their victory. ALCS Game 1 Offensive Stars Kyzer Hoover 2 – 2, 3 Runs, 1 RBI, BB, (2) 2B Scott Greenberg 2 – 2, 1 Run, 1 RBI, BB, GWRBI Tommy Apligian 1 – 1, 1 Run, (2) BB, 2B Kyle Casper 1 – 2, 1 Run, 3 RBI, BB, 2-Run HR Game 2 was a roller coaster ride that rivaled the New Texas Giant for its twists, turns, and heart-stopping moments. With the Royals’ victory in game 1, game 2 became an elimination game for the Orioles, and the Orioles played with that sense of energy and focus. Twice in game 2, the Royals found themselves trailing the Orioles, the second time by a significant margin. However, the Royals’ resilience shone through as they mounted a stunning comeback. Loiben slammed another no-doubt-about-it homer in the top of the first to left centerfield to put the Orioles up 1 – 0. Apligian doubled to lead off the bottom of the frame, bringing Waggoner to the plate. The Royals’ effervescent slugger, in an excellent display of patience, crushed a 3 – 2 pitch over the left field fence that traveled 427 feet and left the bat at 105 mph. The ball was hit so hard that it had not yet reached the top of its trajectory when it cleared the fence. 2 – 1. Both teams went scoreless for the next two innings, with the Royals turning a double play (6–4–3) to end the top of the second. The Orioles tied it at 2 – 2 in the top of the fourth, and the two teams went to the top of the fifth still tied at 2 – 2, locked in a pitcher’s duel. Then the wheels came off. A plethora of uncharacteristic Royals’ errors enabled the Orioles to score four unearned runs. This was a collective team effort in what could go wrong, did go wrong. It was clearly an anomaly for the Royals’ stellar defense, which had allowed the fewest runs in the league (a miserly 185 runs). Only one other team in the 20-team gauntlet had managed to keep opponents under the 200-run mark. Yet, for one inning, the Royals’ unyielding defense looked more like the Bad News Bears. Orioles 6 Royals 2. The Orioles scored two more in the top of the sixth to take a commanding 8 – 2 lead. It was hot. The temperature of the ambient air was 94° while the temperature radiating off the turf was 104°. A third game looked inevitable. Then the bottom of the sixth rolled around. The Royals’ bats, which had suddenly gone cold after the first inning, began to thaw. The Royals’ sent nine batters to the plate and struck for three runs, the last coming via Andy Wetterlin’s clutch, two-out RBI single. It was the defining moment in the game; a turning point that energized the Royals. The Orioles’ commanding six-run lead had been cut to 8 – 5. The Royals turned their second double play of the game in the top of the seventh (4–6–3) to keep their deficit at three, and headed to the bottom of the seventh, setting the stage for Fiorello’s heroics. Congratulations to Captain Kendal Anthony and his Orioles on an outstanding season. The Orioles played with immense class and heart in what turned out to be an incredibly close series. Not only did the Royals capture the American League pennant and secure a berth in the TSSL Championship Series, but their third consecutive playoff series sweep served as a statement of intent – they are on a mission. Their remarkable blend of elite pitching and defense, indomitable heart, and unshakeable resilience have set the stage for what promises to be an epic showdown against the National League Champion Mets in a rematch of the 2015 World Series. Cova’s Mets navigated a challenging path, triumphing over the Expos, Cubs, and Pirates - all phenomenal teams and formidable opponents. The Royals look forward to facing the Mets and we are honored to do so in our 50th anniversary year. The TSSL Championship Series kicks off on Sunday, July 21st at 8:00 am. Grab your coffee, don your rally caps, and strap in, folks, because the journey to the Championship concludes next Sunday, and the Royals are ready for this final challenge. If this series was any indication, we're in for a wild ride that no true Shalom Softball fan would dare to miss.

Eden Hertzog is the President of New Moon Kitchen, baking up delicious all natural, organic, dairy-free, nut-free kosher vegan cookies. What does a typical Thursday look like for you, starting from when you wake up – to heading to bed? Well, there’s the old me (who crammed a million things into one day) and the new me (who is pregnant and can handle about three things a day – one of those things being eating ice cream). For the sake of this article, I’ll give you a peek into the old me. Wake up, make espresso on the stovetop, eat a bowl of granola and fruit, check email, head to work. At work: take a peek at the day’s baked goods and make sure all the bakers and staff are doing fine and that everything in baking-land is looking good. Write a list of what I need to do that day – I always write a list before I start in on my day because my mind will always lead me to strange and unknown places unless I have an anchor to keep me focused. Plus, it’s better for me to get all the little tasks done first so that I can make space for doing my real job, which is being a creative force for my business. Depending on what project I have on the go, I may spend a couple of hours in my office answering emails and working on something like a sales deal, or it could be that I am heading out to meet with a client or research a new potential retailer. When work is done, it’s time for yoga, and then it’s time to cook a nice meal at home for me and my husband and then crash out watching an episode of something on my laptop. And sometimes I walk to Roncesvalles Ave for ice cream… What was your first job out of school? I started my company fresh out of high school. That’s as far as I went with “formal education”. What are the 3 skills you require most to do your job well? 1) Creativity and innovation 2) Multi-tasking (without losing my mind – it has happened) 3) Not waiting for something to come to me. I think they call this being a go-getter, and it is the cloth most entrepreneurs are cut from. What do you love most about your career? I love being the choreographer of my business, and having both the freedom and responsibility of taking it where it needs to go. I love all the amazing and zany people I meet along the way, and all the serendipitous moments that confirm that I’m doing the right thing with my life. I also think making cookies for a living is a pretty sweet profession. Do you have any warnings? Don’t go in over your head. Why would anyone take on more than they could humanly manage? Life is too short to work for a living. If you could try a different career on for a year, what would it be? Easy: travel writer. For Conde Nast. All expenses paid…

Former Las Vegas Home, Surrounding Land of Famous Entertainer Wayne Newton Sells for Over $10 Million LAS VEGAS, NV – Wayne Newton, known far and wide as “Mr. Las Vegas” for his many years serving as an entertainment headliner, is making news this week as his former Clark County ranch has sold for a whopping $10.53 million, according to reports. Despite the large dollar amounts involved, however, the sale price – which also includes a separate deal for surrounding commercial property – represents a significant drop from the $19.5 million it was purchased for back in 2010, reports say. The 36-acre ranch – called Casa de Shenandoah – is located at 6629 South Pecos Road and was part of a double real estate transaction where the ranch was purchased for $5.56 million, and 10.3 acres of surrounding property – which contained retail land that catered to tours of the Newton ranch, including a gift shop – for an additional $4.97 million, Clark County records say. The Newton estate includes a white mansion, an additional six homes, horse stables, tennis courts, and an equestrian pool. Public tours were previously held on the property from 2015 to 2018. The sales were made by ICSD LLC, which purchased the ranch in June 2010 from Newton with failed plans of turning it into a tourist attraction. The buyer was Harsch Investment Properties; currently, there are no publicly-disclosed plans as to what Harsch’s plans are for the property. Wayne Newton, now 77, is a world-famous singer and entertainer and one of the best-known entertainers in Las Vegas, where he is known by the nicknames The Midnight Idol, Mr. Las Vegas and Mr. Entertainment. His most well-known songs include “Daddy, Don’t You Walk So Fast,” “Years,” and “Red Roses for a Blue Lady.” His signature song “Danke Schoen” was famously-used in the soundtrack for the film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Shelter Realty is a Real Estate and Property Management Company specializing in the areas of Henderson, Las Vegas and North Las Vegas, NV.

This content doesn’t contain and isn’t meant to provide legal, tax, or business advice.* Whether planning to open a physical store or setting up an online business, Ohio offers several benefits to its nearly one million small-business owners. When it comes to business incentives and tax breaks, this Midwestern state has no business inventory tax or state corporate income tax, no annual reporting, and even provides access to financial assistance and loan programs. Ohio streamlines the process for starting a business, offering resources and support along the way. 1. Choose a business idea Fine-tuning your business ideawill likely take time and money to make the business successful. Answering these questions about your business can determine if the idea can be developed into something more: - Who is my business for? Think through who you will sell to and who is in need of your services—what hole in the market is your business filling? You can analyze other businesses in the same arena as yours to see what they’re doing right and what you can improve upon. You can also research the market and industry trends, or even go out and talk to potential customers about what they need. - Profitability is the key to any successful business—otherwise, it’s just a (potentially expensive) hobby. Figure out how you’re going to market and sell your product, and what kind of distribution you’ll need to do it. Think about what kind of overhead costs you need to run your business—rent, electricity, raw materials, employees, etc.—and try to estimate how much you will need to sell in order to cover those costs. 2. Name your business Before officially establishing your business in Ohio, you’ll need to choose a name. These steps can take your business from concept to reality: - Brainstorm a unique, relevant name. Pick a name that feels relevant to your business. Your business name should make it clear what you do, or at least intrigue potential customers to find out more. You can use thebusiness name search on the Secretary of State’s website to see if your name idea is already taken. - Follow the Ohio state guidelines. If you’re setting up a limited liability company (LLC), there are particular state guidelines for owners to follow. All LLC names must contain the phrase “Limited Liability Company” or its acronym “LLC” or “L.L.C.” They cannot reference government entities such as the “DEA” or “FBI,” include racial slurs, or contain trademarked names. Additional documentation and proof of license is required to use words like “insurance” or “doctor” in the name. - Reserve the name. Fill out Form 534B to reserve your desired LLC name for up to 180 days. This service requires a $39 filing fee. Purchasing a matching domain name for your LLC can also be helpful, as this ensures no one else can buy “your” website and use it for any purpose unrelated to your business. Some website hosts provide free domain name searches so you can check to see what’s available. Using a DBA in Ohio In Ohio, your “doing business as,” or DBA, is referred to as a trade name. This is the name you’ll use to conduct business. It can be the same as your LLC name, but it doesn’t have to be. For instance, a hypothetical company named Grow Healthy Organics LLC may operate publicly under its trade name, OrganiGrow. You must register your trade name with the Secretary of State (as well as pay the $39 reservation filing fee) to claim it. Sole proprietorships will default to the owner’s legal name, and although you won’t have to register the business with the Secretary of State, you will have to register a business name if it’s different from your own. 3. Create a business plan A business plan outlines your roadmap for success. Not only can it help you clarify and lay out your business strategy in a way that’s easy to understand, but it may be helpful if seeking financial backing to show that you’ve thought through the essential points of starting and operating your business. If you’re a business that needs a lot of funding or lines of credit, a well-drafted business plan can convince investors that you’re worth the risk. A good business planwill: - Outline your personal and professional background and goals - Provide a clear mission statement and address how your company plans to fulfill its mission - Detail your business’s agenda and financial outlook - Provide relevant market research, such as target demographics or competitive analysis - Include specific timeframes for milestones To get started with your business plan, use a free business plan template. 4. Choose a business structure and get started Once the idea, name, and business plan are decided, the next consideration is business structure. There are a few business types to choose from: an individually owned and operated sole proprietorship; a corporation that can include various types of special corporations; and an LLC, which blends the features of a corporation and partnership or sole proprietorship. - Sole proprietorship. A sole proprietorship refers to a singularly owned, unincorporated business. A sole proprietorship is a pass-through entity that allows owners to pay taxes on their net business income, rather than paying tax on the business itself (such as a corporation). With a sole proprietorship, there is no legal distinction between the business and the owner, meaning the owner assumes all liability for any financial or legal matters (such as lawsuits or debts), which puts their own personal assets at risk. - LLC. An LLC is a business designation that can have a single owner or multiple managing members. It not only offers pass-through taxation, but also liability protection for its owners, also called members. With this setup, the business serves as the responsible party for any potential legal or financial matters, rather than the owner personally. Ohio has very specific criteria for forming an LLC. - S corporation. When setting up an LLC, there’s an option to further customize your tax preferences and establish an S corporation, or S corp. An S corp offers additional tax benefits by allowing members to get paid as employees and classify their income as distributions, effectively lowering their total taxable net income. Like other pass-through entities, it can offer one level of taxation. In Ohio, the Secretary of State doesn’t differentiate between a corporation and an S corporation for the purposes of filing articles of incorporation. Obtaining an EIN A sole proprietorship planning to hire employees or simply looking to form an LLC will need an employer identification number (EIN), available by applying online through the IRS. An EIN is a nine-digit number that helps identify your business for tax purposes. It’s also necessary to open a business bank account. Incorporating in Ohio Incorporating a business in Ohio requires filing an articles of organization (Form 610;Form 533B for foreign LLCs) with the Ohio Secretary of State, submitted with a $99 filing fee. At minimum, the following information must be included in this filing: - Contact information. You’ll need to provide your name, address, phone number, and email address. - Business name. Include the name of your LLC. It must contain the actual words “Limited Liability Company” or “LLC.” - Statutory agent. You’ll need to appoint a statutory agent as point person between you and the state. They must be a resident of Ohio, able to accept mail on your behalf, and available during normal business hours. To validate your articles of organization, their contact information and signature is required on your document. - Date and purpose (optional). You may choose to include a delayed start date for your business up to 90 days after your actual filing. The forms also provide an area to declare the purpose of your business. 5. Obtain a business license and permits All businesses must register with the Ohio Secretary of State to legally do business within the state of Ohio. Before you can get your business up and running, check the Ohio government’s website to see if any additional permits or licenses are necessary for your business to operate. For instance, all retailers selling tangible goods or taxable services need a vendor’s license to collect sales tax. Businesses like pest extermination need a license from the Ohio Department of Agriculture, Division of Plant Health, Pesticide and Fertilizer Regulation Section. Nail salons require licensing through the Ohio State Board of Cosmetology, and cannot open until they pass official inspection. Check with the local or county governments to see if any other rules and restrictions apply. A vendor’s licensein Ohio costs $25 to register for each location (but no renewal is necessary). Certain professions or services may require additional licenses, and some counties may require local city business licenses (the cost of which varies). Out of state sellers with transactions within Ohio must register for a seller’s use tax license. 6. Examine insurance options in Ohio Every business needs insurance, but the type of business will determine the coverage needed. Some common insurance options for businesses include: - General liability insurance. If you have a physical office location, you might want to purchase general liability insurance, which can protect against property damage or lawsuits from customers who get injured on your property. This type of insurance also protects owners against libel claims, copyright infringement, or other personal and advertising injuries. - Cyber liability insurance. Cyber liability insurance can help protect a business by covering data breaches, fraud, and electronic theft, as well as the expense of data recovery. If you have a big online presence or store-sensitive information electronically (like Social Security numbers and passwords), investing in cyber liability insurance may be beneficial. - Professional liability insurance. Also referred to as errors and omissions insurance, this type of policy can protect owners against claims of negligence, breaches of contract, and missed deadlines. Businesses involved in architecture, engineering, or real estate can benefit from this level of protection. - Workers compensation. Ohio requires employers to purchase workers’ compensation insurance through the state rather than through a private insurance company. Workers’ comp covers medical bills or lost wages for employees who suffer workplace injuries. In Ohio, this policy is required for owners who have at least one employee. Exceptions include businesses operating as sole proprietorships, partnerships, or LLCs designated as sole proprietorships or partnerships. 7. Understand financial considerations Ohio is one of the few states that does not require annual reporting, which is a financial disclosure document some businesses make every one to two years as a way to “check in” with their state government. Ohio also lacks a business inventory tax, as well as a state corporate income tax, which means less money out of your (business) pocket. In addition, the state provides a job creation tax credit to those who meet eligibility standards. However, while Ohio does not impose additional operating costs on your business, there are a few other financial considerations: - Taxes. Most business owners pay taxes based on their net income. If you obtain a vendor’s license, you’ll need to collect and pay the state sales tax of 5.75% (though this number may vary by county). - Funding. For most businesses, funding is needed for buying or upgrading equipment, property leases, payroll, and taking care of other necessary business expenses that help keep operations running smoothly. Funding options include venture capital from investors or small-business loans from a financial lender. Financing programs can offer business owners funding for business needs including payroll, inventory, and marketing—with the added bonus of flexible repayment schedules. 8. Market your business Marketing is how people find out about your brand, services, or products, which can directly impact the success of your business. An effective marketing strategy includes: - Building a website. Building a website is a key way to market your business. With a website, potential customers have a home hub where they can find out important information about your business. - Investing in advertising. Advertising is another core aspect of growing your business. Advertising strategies like billboards and branded video content can help market your company to a wider audience. - Observing the metrics. You can measure your marketing success by observing key metrics such as revenue, sales growth, customer loyalty, and return on investment (ROI). These numbers can inform which parts of your business strategy are working and which need improvement. *This post is for information only.

Awesome Fudge Resource: The Fudge RPG TiddlyWiki Today I want to focus on a great website that any Fudge GM who uses digital solutions will appreciate: The Fudge RPG TiddlyWiki. TiddlyWiki is “a reusable non-linear personal web notebook”, and it is basically a wiki server that is contained in two simple files. You get all of the common benefits of many of the major wiki distributions out there, but you can run it on your desktop if you download it. The Fudge RPG Tiddly Wiki is the work of Jonas Susara, who converted the Fudge System Reference Document into a TiddlyWiki file. You can download it (or use it on the web as well) and you then have a complete Fudge SRD that is searchable and packed full of linked material to reference as needed. I was working on my own HTML version of the Fudge SRD, but having used The Fudge RPG TiddlyWiki I abandoned that project in its final phases because the TiddlyWiki version is better. To be absolutely clear on this matter I want to add that I was very happy with my HTML version and that it was 90% finished. I just knew that it would never be as useful as The Fudge RPG TiddlyWiki. So if you are a Fudge GM and you want a powerful and versatile version of the Fudge SRD that you can customize yourself with a little bit of work, check out The Fudge RPG TiddlyWiki! It is a fabulous resource available to you to use for free. Know of any other powerful Fudge RPG resources out there? If so, leave a comment below and tell us all about it.

Originál: The First Time Mattie a Jake Hartovci sa vzali preto, lebo Mattie po krátkej búrlivej známosti otehotnela. Žijú spolu, či skôr vedľa seba už šestnásť rokov, ale počiatočná vášeň už vyprchala a po láske nezostalo ani stopy. Jake je právnik, idol žien, ktorý s radosťou obhajuje zvlášť "stratené prípady", večne má nejakú milenku a Mattie to mlčky znáša. Jake sa napokon rozhodne prelomiť okovy manželstva a nasťahuje sa k milenke Honey. Svojej žene to oznámi v deň, keď ju privezie domov z nemocnice po ťažkej havárii. Mattie ho vyhodí z domu. Jej najlepšia priateľka Lisa má však podozrenie, že zmeravenie nohy, ktoré bolo bezprostrednou príčinou Mattinej havárie, je príznakom vážnej choroby – amyotrofickej laterárnej sklerózy, ktorá sa končí smrťou. Keď sa to Jake dozvie, vráti sa k Mattie a pristane na jej žiadosť, že bude aspoň prestierať, že majú normálne manželstvo, že ju má rád a stará sa o ňu. Dokonca jej splní celoživotný sen – vyberú sa spolu do Paríža. Obaja si uvedomujú, že sa im podarilo vzkriesiť vzájomnú lásku, ale Mattina choroba nemilosrdne postupuje a ich šťastné dní sú zrátané… Tak, milí knižní priatelia. Už bolo načase, aby som siahol aj po knihe známej spisovateľky Joy Fieldingovej. Jej knihy u nás vychádzajú už viac než 10 rokov, ale až teraz som sa jej začal viac venovať. Sľubujem, že ju nenechám ležať úhorom Po prečítaní anotácie je celkom jasné, o čom kniha je, a dokonca napovie aj to, ako sa skončí. Čiže žiadne prekvapenie sa nekoná Ale veľmi to nevadí, našťastie, pretože dej vás strhne a hoci viete, že Mattie sa nikdy nevylieči, predsa len počas čítania tajne dúfate, že sa jej nejakým zázrakom podarí zdolať zákernú chorobu. Jej opätovné zbližovanie s manželom Jakom nie je ľahké. Prebieha postupne, je krásne a smutné zároveň. Karty mieša aj ich dcéra, ktorá sa pod vplyvom udalostí mení z poslušného dievčatka na rebelku, a takisto aj Jakova milenka, ktorá sa potajme vyberie aj do Paríža a oboch viac než nemilo prekvapí… Je to vyslovene romantický príbeh, ale tiež nesmierne smutný. Ale práve v tom tkvie jeho čaro. Omieľa starú známu pravdu, že život je príliš krátky a že si mnohé veci začneme vážiť až vtedy, keď o ne prídeme… Od kamošky, ktorá knihy Joy zbožňuje, viem, že má veľa lepších kníh, a už teraz sa teším, ako si ich všetky prečítam. A dúfam, že budú o niečo veselšie

Losing an hour… Daylight saving time begins each spring season and it seems to creep earlier and earlier each year! This year the change is happening this Sunday (March 13th) at 2:00 am. We will “spring forward” the clocks to give ourselves an entire hour of extra daylight each evening. Most adults don’t mind the time change in the fall when gaining an extra hour of sleep, but the idea of the time change in spring creates lots of mind drama. It is nice that it stays lighter later, but who wants to miss out on 60 sweet minutes of slumber? The start of daylight saving time is dreaded by parents because even changing time by one hour can wreak havoc on sleep schedules. Babies, toddlers and school age-children experience a longer “lag time” adjusting to the time change, especially if they have a fairly defined schedule already. This happens when children have established circadian rhythms. So changing the clocks doesn’t seem like a huge deal, but the body clock is resistant to change. As Sleeper Teachers® we constantly have parents asking for the best way to handle the time change and children’s sleep. So without any further ado… Let’s get to it! How do I help my family adjust to the extra sunshine? Later sunsets are nice, except for sleep! Another tip that is helpful this time of year is to darken the bedrooms in your house in the evening! As we get closer and closer to summer, kiddos may struggle to fall asleep while it is still light outside. Darkening the room can be very helpful to avoid any extra bedtime protest. Even though there are extra hours of daylight in the spring and summer, little ones still need the same amount of sleep, so it is important to maintain a bedtime that is similar to what you had during the winter. Watch out for the sneaky evening! We often hear from parents that this time change is particularly tough because it is easy to lose track of what time it is in the evening. You get the kiddos home from school/activities/daycare and next thing you know, it is 7:00 pm and still light out but and you haven’t even started to cook dinner. Our advice here is to set an alarm on your phone to signal for you the start of dinner and winding down. It may sound silly, but if you can get your own evening on track, you are far more likely to see success with your keeping your family on a nice routine. How do I help my family adjust to the new schedule? The time change is one of those things that shouldn’t be complicated, but it can be. Don’t overthink it since we’ve already done the thinking for you. Below we have broken down the various age groups with schedule adjustments and have included an example scenario for each age group. Please notice that for springing forward there isn’t a whole lot of “prep” you can do with schedules ahead of time. Instead, spend time before Sunday, March 13th adjusting the sleep environment and routine and start the schedule changes the day of the time change! Newborns and young babes without a set sleep schedule If your little one’s bedtime is not predictable (mostly for babies under six months old), simply jump to the new time Sunday night based on their current wake windows. If your little one normally goes to bed 1.5 hours after his last nap of the day, then you will follow that as normal, no matter what time the clock reads! At this age, adjustments happen quickly as parents are typically following time spent awake rather than a set bedtime! This is one major benefit of following wake windows. Infants and Toddlers (6 months to 4 years) If you have a baby or toddler with a predictable bedtime (babe is most often going to bed around the same time each night), you will adjust the difference by making naps and bedtime 15 minute EARLIER than their “new normal” starting Sunday. For example, if bedtime is normally 7:00 pm, the clock will now read 8:00 (on Sunday night). Rather than trying to make it to bedtime at 8:00 pm for bedtime, you will move bedtime 15 minutes earlier each night (from the “new” time) until you reach the normal time. So Sunday night you would put babe down at 7:45 pm (will feel like 6:45), Monday night at 7:30 pm, Tuesday night at 7:15 pm and Wednesday night will be back to normal at 7:00 pm! This 15-minute gradual approach should not impact the morning wake-up times of your little one as much as adjusting the full hour would. We recommend this same technique for naps, too. A 10:00 nap (clock will now read 11:00), will take place at 10:45 on Sunday, then 10:30 on Monday, then 10:15 on Tuesday, then back to 10:00 by Wednesday. School-age kiddos, teens and adults For the older kiddos, we will split the difference here with a 30-minute adjustment. If you have a child that does not nap and normally goes to bed at 8:00 pm (clock now reads 9:00 pm), you would put him to bed at 8:30 pm on Sunday night, the first night of the time change. This will feel like 7:30 to them, but it is better than adjusting the full hour and having it feel like 7:00 pm! Stick with this 30-minute adjustment for three nights, then on the Wednesday night put your kiddo to bed at 8:00 pm, or their normal (before daylight saving time) bedtime. This same strategy rings true for adults! Remember to adjust your bedtime by 30 minutes earlier Sunday-Tuesday and then go back to “normal” by Wednesday night. Ta-Da! What to expect this sleep-filled spring forward Even with the gradual changes outlined above, it may take children and babies a bit more time to fall asleep, and this is totally normal. Since the time is different and their bodies think it is earlier than the clocks say, it is possible that they won’t be as tired at bedtime to start. This can be shocking to parents because we are just talking about such a gradual adjustment, if you follow the plan above. But, change is change! You can expect for it to take about a week for the full adjustment to made. Be patient and consistent… It will happen! Got questions about springing forward? With the time change coming up, we want to be sure that you have all the sleep support you need because that's just the way we roll. We've invited sleep expert and founder of Sleeper Teachers, Brittney, to share a video with us on about how to walk through these daylight saving tips. Head to our IG account @sleepbabyinc to get your hands on this video. Enjoy the extra sunshine, the fresh blooms and a sleep-filled spring forward! Brittney Stefanic is a certified whole-family sleep consultant and founder of Sleeper Teachers Sleep Consulting. As a work at home mom boss and former classroom teacher, she understands that this one hour time change can be a doozy. As a sleep educator, Brittney believes in the power of sleep and knows that it is integral to the wellbeing of each family. Brittney and her team love educating and supporting families around the world in finding sleep solutions.

There are about 3,400 sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUID) in the United States, according to the CDC. Other health organizations around the world have recorded similar figures, with these deaths occurring among infants less than 1-year-old. While there is often no immediately obvious cause for many of these deaths, research and studies have shown us that there are several things that individual families can do to reduce the chances of SIDS and other sleep-related issues from occurring. This includes a number of best practices for safe baby sleep, as well as educating ourselves and spreading knowledge about the very real risks that babies face in their infancy. We explore this topic and outline our recommended steps for promoting safe sleep for your baby. Recognize the Risks Mitigating risks starts with understanding what they are. Certain factors and situations are known to increase the chance of SIDS from occurring and recognizing what they are can help you to plan strategies for making your baby’s sleep safer. It’s important to remember that it’s not the cribs that cause deaths, but the conditions within the crib that increase risks. This can range from the items you put inside the crib or the clothes your baby is wearing. Many other factors like room temperature can also play a role in safety, so when thinking of baby sleep safety, we would recommend taking into consideration the wider elements of the baby’s room - not just the crib. It’s also crucial to understand how delicate your baby is in the first few months of their lives. They will respond to various stimulants and stressors in a way you might not realize. For instance, the temperature might inadvertently affect a baby’s heart rate or clothing options could make it harder for your baby to breathe. Some babies are more at risk than others too. Bodyweight, natural development characteristics or underlying health conditions can make sleeping an extra risky time. While there isn’t one simple solution to all this, parents can arm themselves with a good awareness of the dangers, constant vigilance in the first few months, and various strategies for improving sleeping habits and baby skills (such as being able to lift the neck independently). What are the Biggest Risk Factors? - Babies who are placed on their fronts to sleep - Babies who are swaddled for too long (past the age of 2-3 months) which can prevent their ability to move freely when they need to - Babies that are left unchecked for too long - Babies who are exposed to smoke during pregnancy and after birth (Around 60% of sudden infant deaths could be avoided if no baby was exposed to smoke during pregnancy or around the home). - Babies who are allowed to sleep in places other than the crib (sofas, soft chairs, parent’s beds) - Babies who sleep next to their parents at night Many other factors like room temperature can also play a role in baby sleep safety. Decide Where Your Baby Will Sleep Babies should have a fixed place to sleep that is completely safe for them and hazard-free. Most health organizations recommend placing an infant in a separate crib or Moses basket in the same room as a parent for the first 6 months. This is to make it easier for parents to check on their little ones and address any risks or dangers as soon as possible. For instance, you will be able to tell if a room is too hot or cold if you are actually sleeping in it. And when it comes to discovering your child has flipped themselves into a dangerous position, being close to them can remove the danger faster rather than having to go into a separate room. Having said this, it is not advised to sleep in the same bed as your child, which can actually increase the chance of SIDS occurring significantly. This is made even more dangerous if either of the parents smoke or your baby was born prematurely. Choose the Right Crib Firstly, a good crib should be designed especially for a child. Things like Moses baskets can also work well too, as long as they offer the right amount of support and space, but cribs that comply with the highest child safety standards are recommended as the go-to option for sleep each night. The bars of the crib shouldn’t be too wide apart that your baby can fit their limbs or head through. It should be deep enough that they can climb over (if they’re old enough to do so). And it should have a firm mattress with no space between the edge and the actual crib wall. It is not recommended for babies to sleep in places that are not designed to offer them risk-free sleep, such as sofas or armchairs. This is associated with a higher risk of SIDS. It is especially advised that parents do not fall asleep with their babies on the sofa. It can be tricky sometimes, but it’s best not to breastfeed or relax with your child in a place where you are likely to fall asleep too. If you are planning to sleep or feel overtired, putting your child down in their crib first is the best option. Take Out the Extras There’s no need for baby cribs to include any extras inside it, such as: - Pillows or duvets - Crib bumpers - Soft toys - Loose bedding; - Other products (such as wedges or straps) Pillows alone have been shown to increase the chance of SIDS occurring by up to 2.5 times and these other items can get in the way of your child breathing properly, or can trap them in a dangerous position. Put Your Baby to Sleep on their Backs Babies should always be placed on their backs to sleep. Evidence shows us that this is the safest place for them and that both front sleeping and side sleeping can be dangerous. Once your baby has developed strong enough neck and back muscles and can move themselves from their back to their front and back again easily, you can let them sleep in other positions. Until then, choose the back for baby sleep. For more information about baby sleep positions, take a look at our blog: Safe Baby Sleep Positions For Your Little One Dress Your Baby Appropriately Not dressing your baby appropriately can lead to many health issues. While most parents around the world start out by swaddling their children, it is not recommended to keep doing this past the age of 2 months, according to the AAP and CDC. When your baby starts rolling over or pulling themselves free from their covers, you should start to transition your baby away from the swaddle. If not, they could get trapped in a position that is uncomfortable and may restrict their ability to breathe. Improper swaddling or swaddling for too long can also lead to hip dysplasia or developmental dysplasia of the hip, according to the International Hip Dysplasia Institute. It’s not always easy choosing or buying baby sleep clothing, so for more advice, take a look at our guide and infographic: What Should My Baby Wear to Sleep? — The Right Products for the Right Time Consider Using a Swaddle Alternative Some babies will be comfortable being swaddled. They may try to pull their hands free, stretch out their arms, or try to kick the garment away. Using an alternative to swaddling can be beneficial to: - Reduce the chance of the Moro reflex kicking - Help your child to progress from the swaddle stage when they still crave restrictive comfort - Prevent your child from getting tangled up in blankets and sheets - Help babies retain a steady temperature - Stop babies kicking off their swaddles and other covers - Keep your baby warm at night - Encourage movement and flexibility in a safe way We’ve got more great tips about swaddle alternatives in our blog: Alternatives to Swaddling For Safe and Sound Baby Sleep Adjust the Room Temperature A room that’s too hot or too cold can be dangerous. Promoting safe sleep for babies requires you to adjust the temperature in their room, if not your entire house, when they sleep. This will reduce the chance of SIDS from occurring. A room temperature of 16-20°C is ideal, with a good amount of oxygen/fresh air circulation where possible. Obviously, each country and climate presents different conditions, so you will need to plan your baby’s room temperature in a way that’s practical for you. Some babies might get too hot or cold more easily than others, so always check them for signs of overheating or being too chilly as a measure of their comfortability, rather than just relying on what the thermostat says. Monitor Your Baby A baby monitor can give you peace of mind and so can regularly check on them after they’ve reached the age where they can sleep in a separate room. Video and audio monitors that connect with your phone are great for letting you keep an eye or ear on the baby while you're somewhere else, but there’s nothing wrong with checking on them in person as long as you’re not waking them up or distributing their sleep with your entrance. Video and audio monitors that connect with your phone are great for letting you keep an eye or ear on the baby while you're somewhere else. You might not need to, or even be able to follow everything, but a few more tips and considerations for promoting safe baby sleep are below: - Keep the room completely dark. Babies sleep best without any light distracting them or stimulation them, which will make it easier for theme circadian rhythms to develop healthily - Breastfeed your child. This has been shown to reduce the risk of SIDS and is also known to offer several health benefits for infants. - Build a healthy sleep environment and bedtime routine. Having a strong regime where all stimulants are phased out before bed and there are no distractions during sleep can help your child sleep much better. It’s right for parents to be concerned about SIDS and other sleep-related issues. However, these are only likely to occur in cases where risk factors are high. Following safe sleep best practices can massively reduce the chance of anything happening to your baby while they sleep. These same practices are also good habits to adhere to as you help your little one develop strong sleeping skills and independence.

At a Glance | | Product | Polycom Communicator (C100S) | Summary | Easy to use high fidelity Skype speakerphone | Pros | • Easy to set up and use • Excellent voice quality | Cons | • Call initiation can be confusing • Attached USB cable not user-replaceable | At the recent VON show, I dropped by Polycom’s booth to check out its “HD Voice” wideband audio technology demo. I used many a POTS Polycom speakerphone in my former corporate life and always have been impressed with the products. They are uniquely styled, solidly built and a big improvement over the old Western Electric “squawk boxes”. So when I spied the Communicator, I asked for a short demo and then for a review unit, which Polycom quickly sent. The Communicator is a high-fidelity full-duplex Skype speakerphone that is worthy of the Polycom logo that it bears. The heavy plastic casing looks and feels more like metal, probably due to the judicious use of real metal grilles for the speaker and stereo microphones. Its size and weight will remind you of a PDA that needs a few weeks on the South Beach diet, but it’s definitely built for on-the-go as well as stay-at-home/office use. The Communicator’s portability is enhanced by the nice quality zippered case that comes with it, as well as its integrated USB cable and elegantly-designed storage method (Figure 1). Figure 1: Communicator rear view showing USB cable storage All you need to do is flip open the back cover, which doubles as a stand to elevate the device into proper working position, unwind the thin one meter USB cable and plug in. You then run the Driver / Software Install CD, which doesn’t actually contain any software, but just a nice GUI that directs you to the proper places on the Polycom and Skype websites to download up-to-date versions of the installer(s) you need. Figure 2: Communicator physical info Note that you even get a 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack in case you prefer that way of listening. Design Info and In Use Opening up the Communicator shows the experience that Polycom brings to the high-quality speakerphone table (Figure 3). The speaker is surrounded by a ring of sound-dampening felt-like material and the two microphones are suspended in soft rubber-like plastic holders that are part of the seal that runs around the case perimeter. Figure 3: Communicator internal view (click image to enlarge) The larger IC to the right of the photo is a TI TAS1020B Stereo USB Audio Interface. According to its data manual, the chip is designed specifically for applications that require isochronous data streaming. The TAS1020B uses a standard 8052 microcontroller unit (MCU) core with on-chip memory including 8K bytes of program memory ROM with boot loader and a 6,016-byte RAM that is loaded from the ROM. I didn’t remove the board, so it’s possible that there are more components on the other side. You can see that the USB cable is soldered to the board, which means that once it breaks or develops a dreaded intermittent connection, and the 12 month warranty period has expired, the Communicator is probably toast. I asked Polycom about this and received the following reply: … within warranty if there is an issue we would simply replace the unit, and for out of warranty there is not a repair plan available because it is such as low-cost item. Out of warranty, we will work with customers who have issues to determine replacement details. Using the Communicator is very straightforward. The user interface consists of five buttons and a ring around them that can be lit red or green (Figure 4). The purpose of each button is clear from its icon and the indicator ring blinks while placing or receiving a call and glows a steady green while a call is in progress. Pressing the mute button will cause the ring to turn a steady red and it will blink red if the calling party puts the call on hold. Note that there is no way for you to put a call on hold using the Communicator’s controls. For that, you’ll need to futz with the Skype GUI itself. Figure 4: User interface buttons and lighted ring Call quality is excellent, with no feedback or echo and the full fidelity you get from using a headset/mic combo. You can listen to this short clip of my call to the Skype Test ‘bot (MP3, 200 kB) or use the Interactive Demo on Polycom’s site to judge for yourself. In my test clip, you’ll hear my voice twice – first while being recorded, then while played back by the Skype ‘bot. (I used HotRecorder to record the test and its bundled AudioConverter app to convert the file from Hotrecorder’s proprietary format to MP3.) As you might guess, I give the Communicator a hearty thumbs up. Yes, at around $100 on-line street, it will set you back three times the cost of Actiontec’s VoSKY Chatterbox. But what you get in call quality is definitely worth it, especially if you use Skype for business calling, which I know many people do. But, as good as the product is, there are a few improvements I’d like to suggest. The main thing I’d like to see is the ability to use the volume up/down buttons to navigate through the Skype contacts list before placing a call. This would allow you to make a call without having to go over to the Skype GUI. Since you can launch Skype and open and close the Skype window without touching your computer’s keyboard, this would a logical improvement. I have to confess to bothering a few of my Skype contacts while testing out the Communicator by not first selecting the person that I really intended to call before hitting the Communicator call button. The other request is a longer USB cable, or to throw in a USB cable extender. A meter / 3 feet is ok for use with a notebook. But even with my compact desktop machine mounted on a desk-height shelf and having a front panel USB port, I wanted to move the Communicator further away to minimize pickup of its fan noise, but couldn’t. But don’t let these minor complaints confuse you. The Polycom Communicator is the Skype speakerphone that the other guys want to be when they grow up!

Get your super ready for tax time As the end of the financial year 2024 approaches, here are some tips for getting your super in order. Make an after-tax contribution Contributions to your super made from your after-tax income are called non-concessional contributions. The cap for these contributions is $110,000. You can keep track of your non-concessional contributions through the ATO online. Simply login, select Super then Information then Non-concessional contributions. If you go over the concessional contributions cap, your excess concessional contributions will count towards your non-concessional contributions cap unless you have the funds released. Under the non-concessional contribution cap rules, you can also bring forward the cap from the next two years if you are under 75 and your super balance is less than $1.68 million. Make any extra concessional contributions Before the end of the financial year rolls around, it’s a great time to consider whether you want to take advantage of the concessional contribution cap. The concessional contribution cap this financial year is $27,500. You can check where you’re up to with concessional contributions by using ATO online services. Simply login, select Super, then Information, then Concessional contributions. Concessional contributions are taxed in your super fund at 15% and avoid income tax. They work out as a tax effective way to save because if you earn over $45,000 a year your income tax rate is more than 32%. If you plan to make concessional contributions this year, don’t get caught out by missing your payroll cut-off or by contributing too close to the end of the financial year. *Those with incomes above $250,000 this financial year are not able to make concessional contributions above your superannuation guarantee amount. Claim a tax deduction You can claim a tax deduction for your personal super contributions if they fall under the concessional contribution cap. All you have to do is give your super fund a notice in the approved form and get an acknowledgement from the fund. There are some other eligibility criteria you must meet to claim a tax deduction on super contributions, all the information can be found on the ATO website. Carry forward the concessional contribution cap You can also carry forward any unused portion of a concessional contribution limit from one year, and add it to your contribution cap any time up to five years later, depending on your super balance. You’re eligible to carry forward the concessional contributions cap from previous years if your super balance was below $500,000 at 30 June 2023 and you have unused concessional caps from up to five previous years. Make a downsizer contribution If you are 55 or older, you may be able to contribute up to $300,000 from the proceeds of the sale (or part sale) of your home into your super fund. Downsizer contributions work like non-concessional contributions in terms of tax, but they don’t count towards the non-concessional contribution cap. Criteria to be eligible to make a downsizer contribution include that you or your spouse must have owned your home for at least 10 years prior to the sale and it must have been a main residence. Take advantage of the First Home Super Saver scheme This government scheme allows you to save money for your first home in your super fund. Those eligible for the First Home Super Saver scheme can make voluntary contributions, both before-tax concessional and after-tax non-concessional, into their super fund to save for their first home. If you meet the eligibility requirements, you can have these voluntary contributions released from your super fund. Your savings are released up to a limit, along with associated earnings, to help you purchase your first home. In total, $50,000 worth of voluntary contributions can be released by your super fund to help you buy a home if you are eligible for the First Home Super Saver scheme. You can apply to have a maximum of $15,000 of your voluntary contributions from any one financial year included in your eligible contributions. Check if you’re eligible for a super co-contribution The government’s co-contribution scheme helps give the super balances of low and middle income earners a little boost. If you earnt less than $58,445 this financial year and made personal non-concessional (after-tax) contributions to your super fund, the government may also make a co-contribution up to a maximum of $500. There are some additional criteria to qualify for the scheme, you can read all about it here. Check if you’re eligible for the low income super tax offset If you earnt up to $37,000 this year, you may be eligible to receive a low income super tax offset (LISTO) payment of up to $500. You don't need to do anything to receive a LISTO payment. Just make sure your super fund has your tax file number. The LISTO is 15% of the concessional super contributions you or your employer pays into your super fund, that includes the superannuation guarantee, up to a maximum of $500. It’s designed to ensure those on lower incomes don't pay more tax on their super contributions than on their take-home pay.

DP images refer to deepfake pornography, which are fake explicit images and videos created using deep learning techniques. Deepfakes leverage powerful AI algorithms to swap a person’s face onto an existing explicit video or image. While deepfake technology has many potential positive applications, it has gained notoriety for its use in nonconsensual pornography. What are deepfakes? Deepfakes are synthetic media generated using deep learning techniques, primarily based on a machine learning model called a generative adversarial network (GAN). GANs are composed of two competing neural networks – a generator and a discriminator. The generator creates fabricated images or videos, while the discriminator tries to detect whether they are real or fake. Through this adversarial training process, the generator learns to create increasingly realistic synthetic media that can pass off as authentic to the discriminator. While deepfake technology is still evolving, it has reached a level of sophistication that allows for the creation of convincing face swaps in images and videos. With the right algorithms and data sets, a person’s face can be swapped onto a target video featuring someone else. Existing footage and images of a person can be used to train a deep learning model to generate photo-realistic fakes. How are deepfakes created? The process of creating deepfake porn and images involves the following key steps: - Data collection – Multiple high-quality photos of the target person are gathered, ideally with variety in angles, lighting and expressions. - Face extraction – Faces are detected in all photos and extracted as image crops using computer vision techniques. - Face swap model training – The extracted face images are used to train a deepfake algorithm like a GAN to recreate the facial features and expressions. - Source video selection – An appropriate explicit video is chosen as the source onto which the face will be swapped. - Face swap – The trained model is used to replace the face in the source video with the synthesized version of the target’s face. - Realism refinement – Additional post-processing may be done to smooth blending and increase realism. The resulting deepfake video has the target person’s face overlaid on the source actor’s body. With large training data sets and optimized models, the face swaps can be remarkably convincing to the naked eye. Why are deepfakes used for non-consensual porn? There are several factors that make deepfake porn production appealing to creators of non-consensual explicit content: - AI democratization – Powerful deep learning tools and source code for deepfakes are freely available online, requiring no special skills to use. - User data abundance – Social media provides unlimited imagery of people, particularly women, which can be scraped and used to train models. - Difficult to disprove – Carefully crafted deepfakes are difficult for the average person to recognize as fake. - Asymmetric impact – Deepfakes have a much more detrimental impact on victimized women who face stigma in many societies. - Sense of impunity – Creators feel emboldened by a perceived inability of victims to take action against deepfakes. Unfortunately, the damaging realism of face-swapped pornography combined with a climate of impunity has resulted in deepfakes becoming a new weapon for abuse against women. What are the typical subjects and targets? Typical targets for deepfake pornography include: - Ex-intimates – Deepfakes are often crafted out of revenge against former romantic partners. - Celebrities – Public figures with large online presences provide ample imagery to train deepfake models. - Friends/colleagues – Social media photos may be used to create non-consensual deepfakes. - Minors – Disturbingly, deepfake technology has also been used to produce child sexual abuse material. The subjects and targets tend to be predominantly female, though male victims also exist. The distribution of such content without consent violates personal privacy and inflicts psychological trauma. What are the ethical concerns with deepfake porn? Crafting and distributing deepfake pornographic content without permission raises major ethical red flags: - Consent violation – The person has not agreed for their likeness to be used this way. - Loss of agency – Their image has been co-opted without any say in the matter. - Psychological impact – Humiliation, fear, trauma from the violation of intimacy. - Reputational damage – Stigma and costs associated with non-consensual distribution of intimate imagery. - Violence enablement – Deepfakes lower barriers for digitally-enabled violence against women. These concerns make non-consensual deepfake porn production a fundamentally unethical act. It reduces people, often women, to mere objects by misusing their digital information. Is deepfake porn legal? The legality of deepfake porn varies across different countries and contexts: - Copyright law may protect public figures from non-consensual use of their likeness for commercial purposes. - Personal privacy laws can deter distribution of fake intimate media in some countries. - Specific laws banning deepfakes often do not exist or are limited in scope. - Deepfake creators can evade legal recourse by anonymizing and carefully distributing content. - Laws evolve slower than technology, creating ambiguity around deepfakes. While some legal protections exist, deepfake technology has overall outpaced legislation across most of the world. Victims are often left with little legal recourse despite the privacy violations and abuse inflicted by fake porn. What are the privacy risks of face datasets? The creation of deepfake porn relies heavily on gathering large datasets of facial images from target individuals. This exploitation of personal photos creates alarming privacy risks: - Scraping photos without consent – Images may be taken from social media without permission. - De-anonymization – Even freely available data can be tied back to individuals via models. - Sensitive inferences – Models can suss out intimate and private information about people. - Permanence of synthetic media – Deepfakes persist even after source images are deleted. - Lack of control – Individuals lose control over how their face and derived data are used. Robust protections and stringent regulations are needed to protect facial image data and preserve privacy in the age of deepfakes. How prevalent is deepfake porn online? It is challenging to quantify the prevalence of deepfake porn due to the secrecy around its production and distribution: - Hosting on pornography sites is rare – Most platforms ban non-consensual content. - Dedicated deepfake porn forums exist where users request and share content. - Anonymous file hosting and torrents are used to share content. - Distributed via chat applications, custom platforms and dark web. - New deepfake media is created on demand for individual users. While concrete numbers are scarce, researchers agree deepfakes represent a growing fraction of abusive media, made possible by the rapid evolution of creative algorithms. What is being done to curb deepfake abuses? Technology companies, researchers, lawmakers and advocacy groups are taking actions to counter deepfake abuses: - Improved deepfake detection research to identify AI-manipulated media. - Media authentication standards introduced by companies like Facebook, Twitter. - Laws specifically banning deepfake pornography distribution in some regions. - Pressure on social platforms to actively detect and remove deepfake pornography. - Digital literacy programs to increase awareness of deepfake risks among the public. However, deepfake technology continues to advance rapidly, requiring sustained efforts to prevent harm. The goal should be curbing abusive uses without limiting innovation in synthetic media. How can individuals stay protected against deepfakes? Individuals, especially women, can take certain precautions to stay protected against deepfake risks: - Be selective in sharing photos online and social media. - Use privacy settings stringently and prune old photos. - Avoid sharing compromising photos with others. - Learn to spot visual artifacts that can betray deepfakes. - Search your name online to check for non-consensual deepfake porn. - Report any personal deepfake content found online for takedown. However, the responsibility lies more with governments and platforms to enact and enforce proper protections against involuntary deepfake pornography. What are the positive use cases for deepfake technology? While deepfakes carry risks, the underlying AI techniques have many constructive applications: - Entertainment: Movies and visual effects use deepfakes to revive actors or create fictitious scenes. - Education: Synthesize lectures by experts or historical figures to provide engaging learning experiences. - Conferencing: Improve video meeting quality and accessibility using AI-generated avatars. - Fashion: Allow customers to virtually try on clothes by superimposing their image onto models. - Personalization: Enable highly customized videos and promotions tailored to individual users. The same deep learning advancements powering deepfakes also hold potential to enhance our digital experiences in many ways. But guardrails are needed to prevent coercive misuse of the technology. Will deepfake technology advance further? Deepfake generation methods will likely continue advancing at a rapid pace in the coming years: - Increasing realism and resolution of synthetic video and images. - Reduced data requirements enabling creation from fewer source images. - Enhanced audio generation to mimic voices and speech patterns. - Transition from 2D to 3D by incorporating depth information. - Generation extended from faces to full bodies. - Real-time rendering for interactive video applications. Upcoming deepfake capabilities may bring both risks and benefits for individuals and society. Maintaining ethical standards and human dignity should remain the guiding principles for this technology. Deepfakes exemplify the double-edged potential of AI technologies today. While deep learning breakthroughs present exciting possibilities, coerced deepfake pornography reflects a sinister misuse of these same techniques. As deepfake generation grows more accessible, we need a multipartite response encompassing legislation, enforcement, education and technological safeguards to prevent such harms. With vigilant monitoring and framework improvements, AI can uplift humanity rather than undermine human rights and dignity.

WhatsApp Web allows users to access WhatsApp on their computers through a web browser. It serves as an extension of the WhatsApp app on your phone, mirroring conversations and messages through a linked QR code scan. This brings the convenience of WhatsApp to your laptop or desktop computer. However, users often face issues getting WhatsApp Web to work properly on the Chrome browser. There are a few key reasons why you may be having trouble accessing WhatsApp Web on Chrome. Extensions Causing Conflicts One of the most common reasons Why WhatsApp Web does not work properly on Chrome is extensions conflicting with the web app. Many Chrome extensions modify browser requests and page content, which can interfere with WhatsApp Web’s functionality. In particular, ad blockers like AdBlock Plus or privacy extensions like Privacy Badger often cause issues with accessing WhatsApp Web. These extensions block requests or scripts essential for WhatsApp Web to load properly. Try disabling any extensions one-by-one and reloading WhatsApp Web to see if that fixes the problem. You can pinpoint the specific extension causing conflicts. If disabling an extension fixes it, you can keep that extension turned off for WhatsApp Web specifically through Chrome’s site settings. Chrome Profile Issues Chrome allows you to create multiple profiles for different accounts or purposes. The profile you are using can sometimes stop WhatsApp Web from working properly. Try launching Chrome with a different profile and connecting WhatsApp Web. You can also sign out of your Google account under the current profile and use WhatsApp Web while signed out. This isolates whether something with the Chrome profile is causing WhatsApp Web problems. If WhatsApp Web works fine in another profile, you can either switch to using that profile or clear cache/data for the original profile. Go to Chrome settings > Advanced > Clear browsing data and clear cache/cookies for the timeframe when issues appeared. Browser Cache and Cookies Outdated browser cache and cookies can also sometimes disrupt WhatsApp Web functionality. Cache allows sites to load faster by storing website files locally on your computer. However, over time cache can get outdated and cause conflicts. Try clearing your Chrome browsing data and cache to see if that fixes WhatsApp Web issues. Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear browsing data. Make sure to select cached images/files as well as cookies/site data. You can also try disabling Chrome’s cache temporarily under Settings > Privacy and security > Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors. This makes Chrome retrieve fresh new files when accessing WhatsApp Web. Site Data Conflicts Along with cache, site data stored by Chrome can also disrupt WhatsApp Web. This includes localStorage, indexedDB, service workers, and other data the site saves to your computer. To rule out conflicts here, go to Settings > Site Settings > All Sites > WhatsApp. Clear all the site data like cookies, cache, service workers, etc. This erases any corrupted site data WhatsApp may have stored locally. Some desktop browsers like Firefox and Opera have built-in messaging capabilities and extensions. These integrations can sometimes conflict with WhatsApp Web when enabled. If you face issues on browsers other than Chrome, check for any related extensions or integrations that may be interfering with WhatsApp Web. Try disabling them and reloading the page. Of course, one obvious reason WhatsApp Web may not work is network connectivity issues. Your computer needs a stable internet connection to run WhatsApp Web. Check if other sites are loading normally in your browser. Try switching WiFi networks or using a wired connection instead. Reset your router if connectivity seems spotty. Verify that domains related to WhatsApp are not blocked on your network. WhatsApp Web also needs your phone to have an internet connection. Your phone and computer need to communicate for WhatsApp Web to sync correctly. Incorrect Phone Pairing In order for WhatsApp Web to work, you need to correctly pair your computer with your phone via QR code. If this pairing fails or gets corrupted, the web app won’t work. Double check that you scanned the correct QR code from your WhatsApp app and followed all screen prompts. Reopen WhatsApp on your phone, go to Menu > Linked Devices and unlink any connected devices. Then re-scan the QR code to re-pair your phone. Outdated WhatsApp Version To work reliably, WhatsApp Web requires your desktop browser and mobile app to both be up-to-date. Using outdated versions can make the web platform glitchy. Check you have the latest version of the WhatsApp mobile app installed. Also make sure your Chrome browser is updated to the newest version. Click the 3-dot menu > Help > About Google Chrome to check for and install any pending updates. Corrupted Browser Files To rule this out, try completely uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome on your computer. Download the latest installer from google.com/chrome. This will replace any corrupted files related to the browser. Incompatible Browser Settings Specific browser security settings and flags can also block WhatsApp Web from working properly in Chrome. Try toggling off any restrictive security settings like antivirus shields or firewalls temporarily. Also check under chrome://flags for any incompatible flags enabled – like strict site isolation or enabling FLOC. Revert them to default. WhatsApp Web Banned In extreme cases, your WhatsApp account itself may be banned from using WhatsApp Web by the company. This permanent ban prevents access on any browser. This usually happens if WhatsApp detects suspicious activity or abuse of the web platform from your account. Check your email for any notices from WhatsApp on your ban status. VPN or Proxy Interference If you are accessing WhatsApp Web via a VPN or proxy service, connectivity issues can prevent it from working properly. Some VPNs are blacklisted by WhatsApp. Try turning off your VPN and accessing WhatsApp Web normally. You can also switch to a different VPN server – look for options optimized for messaging/calling. Corporate Network Restrictions If accessing WhatsApp Web from an office or corporate network, there may be network security policies blocking certain features. Consult your IT department to check that all domains and ports required by WhatsApp are whitelisted. They may need to allow WebRTC, websocket, and STUN traffic for WhatsApp Web to function. OS & Browser Version Incompatibility Using outdated and unsupported OS and browser versions can lead to WhatsApp Web issues. WhatsApp regularly ends support for older platforms. Make sure you are on a supported OS like Windows 10, MacOS 10.13+, or ChromeOS. Your Chrome browser version should also match WhatsApp’s minimum requirements. Conflict with Other Apps Rarely, other apps on your computer may conflict with WhatsApp Web and cause connection issues. Try closing all other running apps and seeing if that stabilizes WhatsApp Web. If the problem started after installing a particular app, uninstall it and check if that fixes things. DNS Resolution Failure Browsers rely on DNS to translate WhatsApp’s domain name into an IP address. DNS issues can prevent this translation, blocking WhatsApp Web. Try changing your DNS servers to public ones like Google (220.127.116.11) or Cloudflare (18.104.22.168). You can also flush your DNS cache and restart your router. Browser Hardware Acceleration Chrome uses hardware acceleration to render content via your GPU. This can sometimes conflict with WhatsApp Web. Try disabling hardware acceleration under Chrome Settings > Advanced > System. Restart Chrome and connect WhatsApp Web. Enable acceleration again if the issue persists. Chrome Task Manager A stuck or unresponsive WhatsApp Web process in Chrome’s task manager can also prevent the web app from loading. Open the Chrome task manager (Shift+Esc) and restart both Chrome and WhatsApp Web from there. End any unresponsive WhatsApp processes. WhatsApp Web failing to work properly in Chrome is frustrating. But in most cases, the problem can be narrowed down to extensions, profiles, caching, pairing issues or unsupported software versions. Try the troubleshooting steps outlined above to isolate the conflict. Reach out to WhatsApp support if you are still unable to resolve the issue after trying all options. With some diligent testing, you should be able to get WhatsApp Web working again in Chrome.

How Can I Search For Channels in Telegram Mobile? Telegram Channels are private groups created and managed by users. You can quickly locate them using the search function within any chat window. Choose the best telegram channels list. Telegram allows users to search channels by searching either an account name or entering keywords related to their topic of interest, as well as browsing public channels through our websites. Type the name of the channel in the search box. Searching channels in Telegram using its built-in search feature is simple: open the app and tap on the magnifying glass icon to launch its search screen; type in your channel name before tapping to select it. Your query will return a list of channels matching it, including public ones. If you’re keen on researching a particular subject area, third-party directories can be beneficial for finding relevant channels. If the channel you’re seeking is private, only someone else can invite you. Otherwise, public channels can be easily found by searching their name within the app itself or searching directories of Telegram channels; such third-party directories may not display all available channels, yet they still make for an efficient means of quickly and easily discovering ones of interest. Tap on the magnifying glass icon. Telegram makes finding channels simple by entering its username into the search box. Just be sure it is spelled correctly, or you may get results that don’t correspond to your desire! The app also allows users to search for groups and channels using keywords. A group is a chat room where members can share files and discuss topics of mutual interest; some groups may be public so anyone can join, while others require either an invite link or an existing membership to join. Some channels post frequently throughout the day, making locating specific posts you’re searching for challenging. Telegram’s global search only works with account names rather than chats or messages; therefore, it may not always be suitable when tracking down historical posts on channels – though still an invaluable feature to have available! Tap on the search button. Telegram has various channels dedicated to various topics and interests, some public so anyone can search them in the search box, while some require invitation-only access. If you want to create your channel, ensure it contains an informative description that attracts subscribers and reduces spam messages to protect it from being deleted or blocked by other users. This will ensure a better viewing experience and prevent it from being blocked or deleted altogether by other viewers. To create a channel in Telegram, log into your account on either an iPhone or Android and tap the pencil (iPhone) or circular icon (Android). Next, choose “Create channel.” Tap on the search result. Telegram’s channel search feature gives you access to detailed information about any channel before subscribing, making sure they fit your interests well and preventing you from subscribing to too many channels at once, which would potentially clog up your chat list quickly. Search the top of your screen using the search box and type the name of a channel into it; when tapping on the magnifying glass icon to display results, they’ll show its online status and how many members exist in it. Search keywords or online repositories of groups for groups you might find of interest and subscribe by clicking their icon if any pique your curiosity. Once enrolled in a channel, its content and your ability to share it will become accessible; remember that private channels cannot be shared with non-subscribers.

‘Regular Individuals’ Star Daisy Edgar-Jones Is Feted at Locarno One of many breakout stars of the pandemic, Daisy Edgar-Jones, was lastly out and about at Locarno Film Festival, the place she picked up the Leopard Membership Award and launched her newest movie “Where the Crawdads Sing,” based mostly on a novel by Delia Owens. “The entire concept of being a ‘breakout star’ is a wierd factor to grasp anyway. The strangeness of that, occurring in tandem with the strangeness of the pandemic, meant that these issues will likely be without end blended up collectively for me,” she tells Selection, recalling “Regular Individuals’s” triumphant unveiling through the lockdown. “In actuality, nothing in my life was altering. I used to be nonetheless in my bed room on Zoom. This yr, I’ve been all of the extra grateful for with the ability to promote the tasks I labored on and really be with the individuals I made them with.” Her new movie, set within the South and beginning all the best way again within the Nineteen Fifties, gave Edgar-Jones an opportunity to painting a lady who harbors a secret. “It’s an attention-grabbing factor to play. With not taking part in it being the purpose, actually. You need to lead the viewers to varied completely different locations in order that the suspense continues all through the story,” she says. Her character, Kya, isn’t a clean-cut housewife: She hunts for meals, lives alone and isn’t outlined by the lads in her life, notes Edgar-Jones. Till she is charged with homicide, already deemed responsible within the eyes of a neighborhood that has been rejecting her all her life. “This concept of her as this ‘Marsh Lady’ is one which’s utterly fabricated by the individuals on the town. We wished to spotlight how one can misunderstand any individual, paint an image of them [in your mind] and discover it onerous to distinguish between that model and the precise particular person.” However Kya is no one’s sufferer and years of solitude and abandonment, and even romantic disappointments, can’t convey her down. “That resilience and persevering with on, regardless of many hardships, is likely one of the elements of Kya that I discovered very relatable. It’s a really human high quality: To proceed,” says Edgar-Jones. “I used to be studying that story through the pandemic and many individuals resonated with it throughout that point. It was a time of collective hardship, of life altering in ways in which we haven’t anticipated. However she is ready to bounce again and survive in that hostile atmosphere.

However Edgar-Jones tries to not turn into overburdened by analysis when making ready for roles, nevertheless tempting it may appear at first. “One of the best recommendation I ever obtained was: ‘Take it severely however put on it evenly.’ It applies to many issues, however work particularly,” she says. “I do take it severely, however I additionally attempt to see this course of as one thing that may be enjoyable and ever-changing. In case you are too inflexible, you gained’t be open to what the opposite actor is providing you with.” Or capable of simply take it in and revel in it. “The primary ever movie I’ve ever shot, again after I was 19, can also be premiering on the competition. Similtaneously ‘Crawdads’,” she factors out. Invoice Buckhurst’s “Pond Life” was launched in 2018. “After I did that, I didn’t know if I might ever work once more, and but right here I’m. I simply really feel happy and fortunate.”

Risks of Hypnosis Hypnosis is a non-invasive process and should never be seen as mind control or brainwashing; the therapist cannot make you do anything you don’t wish to. Have the Best information about Coaching Saarbrücken. Hypnotherapy can help patients address many medical conditions, from anxiety before medical procedures or giving birth, pain management (including cancer, fibromyalgia, and burns), and behavior issues like quitting smoking and controlling hot flashes. 1. False memories Hypnosis may create false memories, but that’s also true of any suggestion – even without being under hypnosis. If you tell someone they won’t experience pain when their arm is put in cold water, they may believe you. Hypnotherapy has proven worth in medical settings for treating various conditions, such as anxiety disorders (PTSD); weight loss; behavior control issues like smoking cessation and bedwetting control; and pain management. Hypnosis can be unreliable in helping people recall past trauma or influential memories, so psychiatrists typically avoid using it for memory retrieval; other therapeutic approaches are more suitable. They’re also cautious about its use for hallucinations or delusions as a form of psychotherapy; additionally, they don’t endorse using it on unwilling subjects as witnesses for legal cases. 2. Loss of control Hypnosis can produce an overwhelming sense of disassociation from reality. People under hypnosis feel they are responding to the suggestions of the hypnotist without any effort; researchers have demonstrated this effect through studies demonstrating its impact on behavior changes that wouldn’t otherwise happen while conscious and aware. Hypnotherapy is a safe treatment when administered by trained professionals. Contrary to popular perception, healthcare providers cannot force anyone against their values or morals to perform any act contrary to them. Some doctors use hypnosis to help their patients deal with psychological trauma or stress-related symptoms related to mental health conditions; however, this form of hypnosis could generate false memories and may not be suitable for someone with severe mental illnesses. 3. Psychiatric symptoms Hypnosis should only be performed by trained mental health professionals and used with caution when treating severe psychiatric conditions. Hypnosis can help individuals lower some of the psychological defenses that often hinder personal growth, yet no hypnotist has the power to force someone into embarrassing or unwanted actions. Hypnosis should never be seen as mind control or brainwashing and should never replace other proven forms of therapy for mental illness. Research indicates hypnosis can aid with certain health conditions, such as pain management. Furthermore, it can assist with anxiety related to specific things – like medical procedures – by making the brain more flexible and open to suggestions. 4. Damage to the brain Hypnosis alters your brain by filtering sensory information to focus on only what matters to you and processing that signal through the filters of beliefs and experiences that make up who you are; then, when presented to you again for evaluation by others, these signals become further modified by them based on personal beliefs. As a result, your reality can become very personal to you – which may cause issues like false memories, increased suggestibility, or worsened psychiatric conditions like anxiety or depression. Research indicates that hypnosis alters functional connectivity within the brain, including areas that process cognition and emotion. Spiegel’s team reported reduced connections between the anterior cingulate cortex and default mode network when participants underwent hypnosis. Hypnosis can lead to hallucinations and loss of control over one’s body, so therapists must use it with caution on those who can detach themselves from volitional force and think for themselves. 5. Damage to the immune system Studies indicate that hypnotherapy may assist people in managing headache disorders, including migraine and tension-type headaches that have not responded to medications. This includes patients suffering from these headaches who have tried and failed to find relief through therapy alone. Hypnosis may also be utilized to address other conditions, including pain and anxiety, although prior consultation with a medical practitioner is always advised for such uses of hypnosis. Psychosis and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) make hypnosis less effective; increased suggestibility in such instances can cause the patient to believe their psychotic episodes more strongly or recall the trauma from previous attacks more vividly, further compounding their discomfort. For this reason, therapists need to have in-depth discussions with these clients before beginning work with them; this leaflet provides general information only and should not be relied upon as advice.

By Ifeanyi Okowa Let me begin by welcoming all of you to this year’s Annual General Meeting of the National Association of Resident Doctors. Coming against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is my considered view that this meeting offers us a good opportunity to review the ongoing national efforts to combat the epidemic as well as assess our readiness to respond appropriately to future public health emergencies. I believe we can turn this crisis into an opportunity to bolster our health infrastructure, expand capacity and upgrade manpower in the health sector in such a way that our healthcare system will be better poised to deal with future outbreaks. There are two major takeaways for me from the COVID-19 pandemic as it relates to Nigeria. The first is the necessity of having in place a national policy document on responding and managing unforeseen public health crisis. The absence of such a framework as well as the novel nature of the coronavirus posed a major drawback in articulating a coordinated response at the initial stage of the pandemic in the country. Testing was a huge problem because of the shortage of human resources, testing kits, laboratories, and case definition for testing that prioritizes symptomatic cases and their contacts. The whole country only attained a daily testing capacity of 2,500 samples late in July, which is a far cry from what it should be for a country our size. Testing was not only extremely low; it took days before the results could be known. Confronted with a fast spreading disease like COVID-19, the delay meant the virus could spread unchecked as it hindered early contact tracing. Here in Delta, samples had to be taken to the Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital in Edo State, which served the entire South South geo-political region of the country. The wait was excruciating and exerted immense physical/mental toll on critical health personnel who had to be making frequent trips to Irrua in Edo State. Subsequently, we were able to enter an arrangement with Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital in partnership with Pan African Network for Disease Outbreak Research and Rapid Response (PANDORA) to establish a molecular mobile laboratory in Delta. Since then we have conducted over 9,000 tests in the State while confirmed cases are 1,799 as of Friday, September 18. More importantly, as result of the improved testing and transmission of results, we have been able to achieve 99% contact tracing. Commendably also, there has been corresponding increase in testing at the national level as more laboratories were opened and some private hospitals were licensed to conduct tests in Lagos, the epicentre of the pandemic. My second takeaway is that post COVID-19, there is a compelling need to adopt and implement a viable and sustainable healthcare financing programme for all States in the country. Each State is primarily responsible for the financing and implementation of its healthcare system. A healthcare financing programme that is focused on up-scaling primary healthcare services, enhancement of human-resource-for-health capacity, deployment of a technology enhanced healthcare services delivery process and improved access to measurable quality healthcare services outcome for all, is an imperative. With an abysmal 0.5 per cent of its GDP in public health spending, Nigeria has one of the lowest public healthcare financing globally. This figure is lower than the regional average (2.4 per cent) but, even more importantly, it is below the expected average for countries in the same income group. Consequently, our public health institutions are reeling under the pressure of underfunding, inadequate manpower, shortage of equipment and population explosion. A viable and sustainable healthcare financing programme ensures adequate preventive and baseline curative healthcare service for all. Considering the current fiscal constraints, a review of the Second National Health Strategic Development Plan is necessary to enhance practicality of its operationalization for better health outcomes. We need a sustainable framework that provides the financial modelling and enabling opportunity for adequate human capacity, infrastructure, commodities and financial resources management, while ensuring that all healthcare facilities can provide round the clock services with capacity to respond quickly to routine healthcare services as well as public health emergencies/outbreaks. Here in Delta, we established four well-equipped case treatment and management centres for COVID-19 patients at the Center for Communicable Diseases and Research at the Federal Medical Centre, Asaba Specialist Hospital, Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Oghara, and Central Hospital Warri. The Government also set up 11 holding facilities across the State at General Hospital, Okwe; General Hospital, Ogwashi Uku; Central Hospital, Ughelli; Central Hospital, Warri; General Hospital, Bomadi; Central Hospital, Sapele; Central Hospital, Kwale; General Hospital, Ekpan; Central Hospital, Oleh; General Hospital, Agbor; and Eku Baptist Hospital. Although 34 States and the Federal Capital Territory have passed the law for the implementation of Universal Health Coverage, it is fair to say that capital inadequacy is at the core of the low level of implementation across board. As a long-time advocate for Universal Health Coverage, it is my submission that we redouble our efforts and pursue this scheme with renewed vigour. A situation where less than 5% of the 191 million (World Bank 2017) Nigerians are currently covered under the National Health Insurance Scheme is unacceptable. The implication of this is that over 180 million persons have little or no protection from the financial hardship resulting from healthcare service. In Delta State, we developed a strategic implementation plan focused on clear deliverables that are in line with the provisions of the Basic Healthcare Provision Fund component of the National Health Act. Similarly, the Guidelines of the National Health Insurance Scheme were aligned to the prevailing peculiarities of the Delta State healthcare service system. As the frontrunner in the implementation of this scheme, I am proud to inform this gathering that Delta State Government has accredited 405 health facilities comprising 268 Primary Health Care Centers, 66 Secondary Health care Facilities, 65 Private Health Care Facilities, 1 Federal Medical Center, 3 Abuja Health Care Facilities and 2 Lagos Health Care Facilities to operate the scheme. Total number of enrollees is currently 788,740. We can be proud of the progress we have made even though there is still much work to be done. It is also imperative that our healthcare service interventions be “Patient Centered.” Outcomes, not inputs, are the true measure of quality healthcare. As the Keynote Speaker at the National Health Summit, which held in Abuja in November last year, I posed the following questions: “When it comes to Patient-Centred Care in Nigeria, many questions are begging for answers. Are we prepared as a nation and as healthcare providers to embrace this transformational approach to healthcare delivery? Is the human resource available and adequate for this system of care? How accessible and affordable is healthcare to our growing population, most of who fall below the poverty line? What is the percentage of Nigerians still paying out-of-pocket for healthcare? Is the healthcare provider warm or welcoming? Do the health staff inspire trust and confidence in the ability of the health establishments to deliver quality healthcare leading to patient’s satisfaction?” Bottomline is, we must start to consciously measure outcomes as part of our healthcare delivery process because that is surest way to revamp a floundering healthcare system. It ensures that our resources, which are scarce and finite, are judiciously deployed for the benefit of the patient. I am glad to announce that this administration has agreed to fund 80% of the training requirements enshrined in the Residency Training Act (2017) as agreed with NARD and DELSUTH. It is my earnest expectation that you will reciprocate this gesture with renewed vigour and commitment to your duties. In concluding this address, I salute our medical doctors and healthcare providers for their courage, commitment, and determination to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Nigeria has survived this and previous public health emergencies/outbreaks due to the sacrifice, dedication, ingenuity, and resourcefulness of our healthcare providers. Regrettably, many of them got infected during this pandemic while some, sadly, paid the supreme price. *Okowa, a medical doctor, is the Governor of Delta State. This article is adapted from his speech at the Annual General Meeting of the National Association of Resident Doctors, at Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Oghara, Delta State.

The Seattle Sounders have yet to find their first victory, but at least they found more than one goal in an entertaining 2-2 draw Saturday night against the San Jose Earthquakes at Buck Shaw Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. Seattle managed some offense without Fredy Montero, the team’s top scorer the past two seasons. Montero had a small fracture in his wrist and was forced to remain home. His absence didn’t dampen Seattle’s thirst to attack. Unfortunately for them, the Sounders were in a charitable mood defensively, giving up the ball more than once and slacking off in their marking at inopportune moments. The narrow field at Buck Shaw Stadium probably didn’t help as the Earthquakes lobbed dangerous diagonal balls and were quick to counter. That put Seattle’s defense under pressure almost immediately. We had some turnovers and that always puts you in trouble,” Coach Sigi Schmid said. “We had some chances and they had some chances. It probably could have ended 4-4 and nobody could have complained. But two goals should be enough to win when youre on the road. Schmid substituted midfielder Erik Friberg at the start of the second half, but it appears Friberg may have been suffering from the flu. Friberg and Mauro Rosales were at the center of much what was positive in the first half. Schmid replaced Friberg with Alvaro Fernandez. As the second half slowed, it didn’t look to be one of Schmid’s more inspired decisions. In fact, the Sounders’ other substitutions, Nate Jaqua for O’Brian White and David Estrada for a fatigued Rosales, failed to make much difference. Jaqua even missed one of the few clear-cut chances for Seattle late in the game, though it deflected off a San Jose defender. But if there was a party crasher, then Earthquakes second-half substitute Khari Stevenson was it. He ruined Seattle’s quest for its first win. With the Sounders up 2-1 early in second half, Stevenson ripped a 35-yard rocket that forced a helpless Kasey Keller into a full stretch. His shot in the 52nd minute came from nowhere and was sheer quality. I picked up the ball, Im not sure if it came from Bobby (Convey) or Sam (Cronin),” Stevenson said. “I tried to play the ball to Wondo, made a bad pass and the ball ended up on my feet. I looked up, I had time and space. I had the shot and I took it, and it went in. That was the last score of the night as the teams slowed the frenetic pace that had characterized a first half of rollicking soccer. Both Seattle’s goals came from splendid build-up and possession. San Jose’s goal in the 33rd minute was no less impressive. The roughly 10,276 San Jose fans got their money’s worth. For the Sounders, defensive mistake cost both goals and nearly led to two other opportunities early when San Jose was pressing hard. Keller’s quick reactions saved the Sounders twice in the first half. His left hand denied last year’s MLS scoring champ, Chris Wondolowski, in the 9th minute and he stopped Joey Gjertens in stoppage time. “He (Wondo) had a couple of good chances,” Keller said. “On the first, if hed put that a little lower I wouldve had no chance to save it, but sometimes you find yourself in the right place to make the save. I think we focused so much on him that we let a couple guys run through the middle.” Rosales, who started as a forward for the injured Montero, proved he belongs in the starting 11. He was at the fulcrum of most of Seattle’s offensive output in the first half — whipping a low cross to Brad Evans to begin the scoring. His growing understanding with Friberg was evident in the first half, as they combined to create the Evans chance. It looked as if Seattle had control of the first half, particularly toward the end. White ended his drought, scoring a header to put Seattle up 2-1 late in the first half. Two minutes before half, Steve Zakuani turned his defender around with a double scissors and sent a diagonal cross to a diving White, who pushed the ball past Earthquakes goalie Jon Busch. San Jose nearly equalized before the whistle. In the 47th minute, Joey Gjertsen cracked a right footer, forcing another strong Keller save. San Jose evened the score in the 32nd minute when Simon Dawkins scored after receiving a pass from Bobby Convey, who wasn’t picked up by a Sounder midfielder and threaded the ball through to Dawkins, who had made a dangerous bending run to beat the Seattle defenders. “What I liked about our play tonight was that we didn’t give up,” San Jose Coach Frank Yallop said. “We dominated play in the second half, we got the goal and I felt that we were unlucky that we didn’t get the third one to win it.” Seattle opened the scoring in the 17th minute. Friberg slipped a ball to Rosales on the right side, who sent in a low cross to a surging Evans entering into the box. He tapped it in from five yards. In the first half, Seattle shot 11 times to 7 for San Jose. Total shots went to 13 for both teams, but San Jose led shots on goal 5-4. Seattle –Kasey Keller, James Riley, Patrick Ianni, Jeff Parke, Leo Gonzalez, Erik Friberg, Osvaldo Alonso, Brad Evans, Steve Zakuani, Mauro Rosales, O’Brian White San Jose — Jon Busch, Chris Leitch, Jason Hernandez, Brandon McDonald, Ramiro Corrales, Sam Cronin, Simon Dawkins, Chris Wondolowski, Joey Gjertsen, Ryan Johnson, Bobby Convey.

Will the Oakland A’s and Texas Rangers combine for enough runs to push the score over the betting total on Thursday night? The American League West foes will meet again at 8:05 p.m. ET. Game Snapshot & Odds 921 Oakland A’s at 922 Texas Rangers Thursday, July 26, 2018 8:05 p.m. ET, Globe Life Park in Arlington TV: OAK (CSCA); TEX (FSSW) Public Betting Trends Oddsmakers from online sportsbooks currently list the A’s as a -141 favorite. As of this writing, 74% of the betting tickets wagered at online sportsbooks are on the Twins to beat the Cardinals on the moneyline. A’s Cahill not quite able to earn quality start vs. Giants Trevor Cahill yielded one run on two hits over 5 2/3 innings while taking a no-decision in Saturday’s 11-inning win over the Giants. Cahill struck out five and walked three in the outing. He left the contest in line for a victory, but the Giants upended that potential decision with solitary runs scored in the seventh and ninth innings. That latter run tied the game at 3-3 and ultimately pushed it to extra innings. Cahill will carry a lovely 2.95 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 55/17 K/BB ratio (58 innings) into a road showdown with the Rangers when he next toes the rubber. A strained right Achilles tendon which took him out of action for about a month earlier this summer is cause for his diminished innings total at this juncture. Rangers’ Colon has everything fall apart for him vs. Indians Bartolo Colon surrendered five runs on eight hits over 4 2/3 innings in Saturday’s loss to the Indians. Colon was cruising through the first four innings of the game, having surrendered just two hits and no runs heading into the top of the fifth inning. Then everything changed. That fifth started out poorly enough, with Melky Cabrera leading off matters with a double. Yan Gomes followed with an RBI single and then it was off to the races. Francisco Lindor, Michael Brantley and Jose Ramirez would all pick up RBI knocks as the inning progressed, with the final run on Colon’s line coming home courtesy of the bullpen after he had mercifully been relieved of duty with two outs in the fifth. The wily right-hander still has some tricks up his sleeve, but when those tricks aren’t working, he just doesn’t have the stuff to make up for mistakes at this point in his career. A home start against the A’s shows next on his schedule. He’ll be putting a 4.85 ERA and 1.24 WHIP on the line in that contest. MLB Betting Trends The A’s are 6-1 in Cahill’s last seven road starts versus the Rangers and are 11-3 in his last 14 outings against Texas overall. The Rangers are just 7-15 in their last 22 games versus the A’s. The over is 3-1-1 in the last five meetings between these two teams in Arlington and is 3-1-1 in the last five meetings overall. The over has also cashed in eight of Ted Barrett’s last nine games behind home plate and is 9-1-2 in Cahill’s last 12 road starts. The Pick: A’s/Rangers over 11

Customising your in-store space design for a personalised experience If you were to ask anybody about their thoughts on the current state of the great British high street, chances are their reaction would be the same across the board; “The internet has decimated our high street…..everyone buys online now…..all of the shops are closing……why would you need to go into a shop when you can have things delivered the next day online….” The list goes on and on. But if we were to take a closer look, it’s that very thing which most physical retailers dread that is in fact driving our high streets forward, unveiling a revolution in how bricks and mortar retailers and our high streets present themselves and creating some exciting times ahead for both the retailers and the customers alike. When e-commerce first began to take hold, websites were simple and the excitement of a new platform through which to purchase goods was sufficient enough for online retailers to maintain customer interest. But as websites became more sophisticated and design savvy, so did the way in which goods were presented to customers. We now see recommendations popping up as we browse retailers websites, with items specifically chosen for us based on our own personal tastes and interests. The need to personalise the customer experience is quickly beginning to filter into the physical world of retail, where shoppers can buy products customised especially for them in a space that has been designed specifically with them in mind. This highly curated level of personalisation goes beyond simply giving the customer what they want, it helps to forge a close and long lasting bond between the customer and the brand and creates much needed added value to the overall experience. Many would argue that personalising your in store design to suit your target demographic is a costly exercise but the investment itself is far outweighed by the benefits it will bring to your bricks and mortar business. Customers are prepared to pay more and wait longer for customised goods as their getting a unique and exclusive item. By staying in store for extended periods of time, this presents the perfect opportunity to dazzle them with your in store design, tailored especially to them. And the longer they stay, the more likely they are to purchase additional items but more importantly return in the future. The Cambridge Satchel Company designed its second Covent Garden store specifically with men in mind. By creating a quirky environment, the shop three spaces -The Front Room, The Reception and The Conservatory, blending curiosity shop, homely library and gentleman’s club. Telling the story of its quintessentially British products, the leather working and making of the bags is key to the design with museum style cabinets being used where customers can touch and engage. A key feature is the embossing station, where shoppers can have their bags personalised. Stylish chesterfield sofas make the wait comfortable, with quirky pieces, like an up-cycled grandfather clock and mischievous monkey lights, interspersed with wall to wall satchels keeping customers entertained whilst they wait. As humans, we’re naturally drawn to entertaining or intriguing situations and spaces. The introduction of technology to the in store design can enable even the simplest of shops to become a playground for all who enter, providing a personalised touch which can be changed and updated at the flick of a switch to reflect your latest products and changing store design. Key annual events in the retailers calendar such as Christmas are a fantastic opportunity to utilise technology and turn up the personalisation of your store, tied in perfectly to the products you have on offer. Most annual events bring about a store refresh to reflect the particular season and engage with shoppers. With the aid of video or sound technologies customers can be instantly transported to other places and reminded of personal events which can evoke an emotional response. Hunters flagship store on Regent Street has been designed with a direct link to the festival culture to which many of its patrons are part of. Utilising LED video technology, a 5 metre high video screen spanning the three floors of the store was installed. This has been married up with the modern British countryside meets urban inspired interior to play bespoke video and soundscapes reflecting the different zones that have been created across the space. By tapping into the immersive experience market, the store has the potential to evoke personal memories for its customers, referencing music festival culture and the obligatory wet weather such as thunderstorms and heavy showers often associated with these events Hand in hand with your customised space and product offering is the customer data derived from this. For any bricks and mortar retailer, this is your key to unlocking potential future growth by understanding consumer trends and buying habits. Going beyond the stock items you have on your shelves, by gathering information on the customised products you offer, you can understand your customers in ways that your competitors can’t. This can then be used to inform the way in which you design you stores interior to reflect the specific nature of your core customers, the key events that surround their lives and Ultimately, the personalisation of your bricks and mortar shop will help to create a narrative to your customers which lends meaning, involvement and reassurance to their lives. Set in a 2000 square foot store located in Manhattan’s 10th Ave. retail corridor, STORY is a retail concept that takes the point of view of a magazine, changes like a gallery and sells things like a store. That means every four to eight weeks, STORY completely reinvents itself -from the design to the merchandise – with the goal of bringing to light a new theme, trend or issue in modern society. By creating a world that supports and celebrates your products, your brand and continued presence on the high street is strengthened which is a vital component to the survival of all retailers in todays climate.

Perpetrators of bandit attacks in Baringo, Isiolo and Meru counties have been warned to immediately stop or face the law. The Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome made the announcement while he briefed on the security operation in North Rift. Koome has vowed to quell the resurgence of cattle rustling and banditry in Isiolo, and Meru Counties targeting ranches and conservancies, saying the government will no longer condone the killings and attacks. “Let me be clear, that whether the resurgence of these attacks is attributed to retaliations among members of communities, or collaboration among communities to attack members of other communities, or be they targeted attacks on security personnel and installations, expansionist tendencies or the commercialization of banditry as the case has been, my message to the bandits is one: stop or face the full force of the law,” said the police IG. Speaking at Kabarnet County Police Headquarters, Koome added that law enforcers have firm instructions to deal with those behind the menace that has resulted in the loss of lives, displacement of families and even disrupted education. As such, a multi-agency command center has been set up for Isiolo, Meru, Laikipia, and Samburu counties to aid in the fight. "We have deployed additional new sophisticated equipment and formed Police Units in the affected areas including Loruk and Mukogodo to beef up the ongoing Operation Maliza Uhalifu North Rift," he said. In February 2023, the Interior Ministry declared the security situation in Turkana, West Pokot, Elgeyo Marakwet, Laikipia, Samburu, and Baringo as a security emergency owing to the many banditry attacks. Last Saturday, President William Ruto convened a meeting of the top security heads in the country to discuss the security situation in North Rift and identify solutions. Present were Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki, his PS Raymond Omollo, IG Koome and his two deputies.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has linked Hashim Dagane Muhumed, the prime suspect in the murder of three women in Eastleigh, to the killing of yet another woman who had been reported missing in California, Nairobi, and her body later discovered at Lang'ata Cemetery. In a statement on its official X platform, the DCI described this connection as a major breakthrough in the case. The victim, Deka Adbinoor Gorone, was captured on CCTV cameras shopping at Quickmart supermarket on October 29, 2024. Gorone would later enter an apartment in Lavington where Muhumed was allegedly residing. On October 31, 2024, CCTV footage showed the suspect leaving the apartment, carrying two bags suspected to contain the remains of the Gorone, which were later found at Lang'ata Cemetery. The DCI disclosed that after Muhumed left the apartment, the owner reportedly discovered the crime scene and attempted to clean up, even repainting the rooms, before going into hiding. Meanwhile, authorities believe the woman could be Deka Adbinoor Gorone, who was reported missing at California Police Station on October 24, 2024. Forensic analysis is underway to confirm her identity. Muhumed, who is also the main suspect in the murders of a mother, her daughter, and her 12-year-old niece in Eastleigh, has been detained for 21 days pending further investigation and is currently held at Ruaraka Police Station until November 2, 2024. The DCI continues its search for the apartment owner, promising that it is "just a matter of time" before he is apprehended.

Richard A. Williams, a 61-year-old sex offender with a history of breaking into women's bedrooms and assaulting them at knife point, has created a 21-page plan for staying straight. Replete with graphics and charts, it catalogs the tactics Williams has learned to control his violent urges, from calling a friend to repeating a personal oath of integrity when he feels aroused. "I've come a lifetime from where I was when I committed my crimes," said Williams, who admits to 20 victims. "I just want the opportunity to show the world that I'm a new man." After decades in confinement, Williams may now get that chance. He is among dozens of men moving quickly toward provisional release from the Minnesota Sex Offender Program (MSOP), which faces court pressure to show that it's not a de-facto life sentence. In just 14 months, six offenders have been granted conditional release, compared with only two in the program's prior 20 years. Another 58 have been moved to dormlike settings on the MSOP's St. Peter campus, a final step before public release. "This is absolutely unprecedented," said Dan Gustafson, the lead attorney for a class of offenders suing the state. "There appears to be a growing recognition of individual rights and the idea that we can't hold these people forever just because we don't like them." The shift has occurred despite concerns voiced at recent public meetings and over the objections of some treatment professionals — and, in some cases, even the state agency overseeing the MSOP. "When I disagree, I will appeal. We will continue to do all we can to protect public safety," said Human Services Commissioner Emily Johnson Piper, who vowed to oppose the release of any offender her agency still considers a threat to the public. The commissioner recently appealed a judicial panel's decision to conditionally discharge a man convicted of raping three teenage girls. At the same time, state leaders may have no choice but to loosen their grip. The MSOP has been declared unconstitutional by a federal judge in St. Paul, who has threatened to order reforms if the program cannot demonstrate the ability to treat and release more of the 726 offenders confined at secure facilities in Moose Lake and St. Peter. Now Richard Williams finds himself just one court decision away from conditional release, and he is determined to prove that he is not the same thrill-seeking man who burglarized apartments and terrorized women more than three decades ago. In an interview last week on the edge of MSOP's sprawling campus in St. Peter, with a security escort watching, Williams teared up as he described the "horrors" of his past assaults, the effect on his family and the regret of not "being there" for his five daughters. "Quite frankly, at the time, I didn't see their horror," Williams said of his victims. "I didn't see scaring a woman as horrible. I was getting my needs met and that was that. I didn't see it until afterward, when the guilt sets in and the fear sets in." His baritone voice cracked, "You know, it gets really hard." While in custody, Williams admitted to sexual offenses against 19 adult women and a girl. During the incidents, he frequently used a knife, physical force and threats of harm to gain women's compliance. In one particularly horrific incident in 1982, a 12-year-old girl woke to see Williams kneeling next to her bed masturbating. After she and her mother screamed, Williams fled. Both of the victims then noticed that their nightgowns had been slit open, court records show. Two years later, Williams entered a woman's apartment while she was sleeping on the living room couch. When she awoke, he tried to cover her eyes with his hand but she pulled away and screamed. After Williams fled, the woman noticed that her jeans and shirt were cut and there was semen in her hair. Despite the severity of his offenses, a three-judge panel in 2013 overruled the objections of MSOP's treatment staff and approved Williams for transfer to a special community re-entry program. Here, just outside the secure perimeter of MSOP's campus in St. Peter, he is allowed more freedom but still wears an ankle bracelet and lives under strict surveillance. The fact that Williams is even here — beyond the razor wire of the main campus — is evidence of a loosening of attitudes toward offenders. He has struggled in therapy, often minimizing his crimes as "burglaries with sexual elements," court documents show. Over the past year, he showed a "deceptive" response in two lie detector tests when asked if he masturbated to fantasies of violence and brutality, records show. In years past, offenders like Williams won the support of judicial review panels only if they were recommended by their treatment teams and had reached the final phase of treatment at MSOP. Now, however, the panels seem prepared to move offenders who are struggling in therapy as long as they pose less of a danger to the public. Even now, after years of therapy, Williams rejects the idea that he can be "cured," like someone with a disease. In his view, sex crimes result from underlying feelings of rejection and resentment that can be "managed," but never cured. Williams talks openly about his urges, even identifying his "most likely type of victim" in a relapse-prevention plan he submitted to the court. He described the person as "an attractive woman with a shapely figure in an unexpected peeking situation." While in custody, Williams said, he underwent a "spiritual awakening" and has developed a strong network of friends who keep him "accountable and honest." He prays daily, and often touches the photos of his daughters to remember why he should never reoffend. On Sunday mornings, he participates in a worship service transmitted to him remotely through two of his close friends, Dee and Tom McLellan, of Maple Grove. A Christian support group has already invited him to attend its weekly meetings, should he be released. Asked if he could guarantee that he would never commit another sex offense, Williams shook his head. "You can never be sure you're not going to reoffend. You can never be sure of that," he said. "I agree with that because once you've done something, it's easier the next time." Last summer, Williams asked for permission to attend his stepmother's funeral, and was surprised when MSOP administrators said yes. It was the first time Williams had ever seen several of his youngest grandchildren. With two security guards watching, he gave them pretend embraces, encircling them with his hands. Touching was prohibited. Chris Serres • 612-673-4308 Twitter: @chrisserres

SFAA NEWS & VIDEOS KOFFA MEETS WITH AMBASSADOR LOIS LEWIS BRUTUS Ambassador Lois Lewis Brutus, Liberia's Ambassador to the US, with Stephen Koffa at the Liberian Embassy in Washington DC. In an effort to grow the sponsorship base of SFAA's Alumni-To-Student Sponsorship Program (A2S), Stephen Koffa, President of Saints Friskies Alumni Association (SFAA), met with Her Excellency Ambassador Lois Lewis Brutus, Liberia's Ambassador to the United States of America and a Member of Friskies Class of '69. The meeting, which took place on Thursday, March 8, 2018, was held at the Embassy of Liberia in Washington, DC. The purpose of the meeting was to inform Ambassador Brutus of the existence of SFAA, and make her aware of the A2S Program that currently sponsors 51 students at St. Teresa's Convent (STC) at the cost of $24,145.01. Mr. Koffa briefed the Ambassador on the history of SFAA and highlighted the agenda of the current administration. The focus of the conversation was the A2S program. He explained the purpose of the program, its accomplishments to date, and goals for the coming year. During her conversation with Mr. Koffa, Ambassador Brutus stated that the A2S program resonates with her because as a student at STC, she was sponsored by a sorority organization. They covered the cost of her tuition, fees and room and board on the campus of STC. She also noted that the A2S program fulfills one of the central tenets by which she lives: that one should always reach back to uplift the lives of Liberian children who are less fortunate. After much discussion about the program, Ambassador Brutus committed to sponsoring one of the girls at STC. She said she will review the details of the program and register as a sponsor. Ambassador Brutus also asked about some of the challenges of the organization. For example, she asked whether SFAA has a chapter in Monrovia. Mr. Koffa responded by saying: "In spite of our best effort, the prospect of having a functioning chapter in Monrovia continues to elude us. But we have not given up. We will keep trying until we establish a dynamic chapter in Monrovia." Ambassador Brutus agreed that the need for a chapter in Monrovia is critical. She immediately placed a call to one of her contacts in Liberia to assist with this effort but was unable to reach her. She said she will follow-up with her contact and get back to Mr. Koffa. The reopening of St. Patrick's High School (SPHS) is also a concern of Ambassador Brutus. Mr. Koffa assured her it is a high priority on SFAA's agenda, and that a committee is currently being established to address the issue of the rebuilding and reopening of SPHS. At the end of the their almost 2-hour conversation, Ambassador Brutus and Mr. Koffa exchanged phone numbers and agreed to remain in touch.

STEAMPORT Chapter President University of Pennsylvania Hi, I'm Yi-An. I am very passionate about many things (such as traveling!), but my three favorite happen to be science, math, and the arts... which also happen to be on opposite ends of the spectrum. Often times, it seems that others expect me to pick one over the others, when I love all three equally as much. As a result, my goal was to bring all three together and share it with the world, or at least my community. Thus, along with everyone on the Stem Up 4 Youth team, we brought together the Steamport chapter, highlighting not only the STEM fields but also the Arts. As the fields of S.T.E.A.M. expand throughout the career world, we hope to cultivate this interest and understanding in our youth and spread our enthusiasm within local communities. Working with clubs or schools around the area, we are able to provide free, engaging year-round classes. We know that often times these kinds of hands-on learning experiences are not available or accessible to kids based on the areas in which they live. We open up opportunities for kids, no matter their background, and provide an exciting yet safe environment for kids to learn about all the different aspects of S.T.E.A.M. We had put in a lot of effort and we continue to do so, but it is so rewarding to get the opportunity to work with kids that love that same things that I do. For me, the S.T.E.A.M. fields are fun, engaging, and the sciences and the arts in all their mixed up perfection.

Fresh out of November and slip-sliding into December or as abbreviated dimply ‘D’. Last night I cook my Thanksgiving turkey on the free electricity. A sense of accomplishment with that. It turned out very well as expected Ms Bold Caps BEFORE you ax and interrupt the Flow. Why? Because I set timers and observed the TCP (turkey cooking protocol) as otherwise there was a risk and high probability of an accidental and unintentional snooze which would reinvent the term disaster. While cooking the bird and between turns & bastes I watched as dvd BBC thriller I am still trying to assess and digest. The title was ‘rellik’ and I had trouble with the concept reading the jacket. Somewhere someone used ‘brilliant’ and ‘genius’ and in my never-ending search for such things I had to check it out. I should have been leery of ANYONE using such terms carelessly let alone a hack or whore writer masquerading as a critic. Turns out I spot on and right. Once again … With or without a ‘spoiler alert’, IDC and will save you some time, the central figure is a London detective horribly disfigured when a bad actor (figuratively speaking) tossed acid in his face. He is married and his wife and daughter are supporting him however in the meantime and thru the ordeal he is having an affair and boinking his partner who BTW is smoking hot. Just happens to be … Imagine Joe Friday … nevermind. Anyway, if one is able to stick it out to the end, which in this movie is the BEGINNING as they run things backwards starting in the first episode, the black therapist is the main ‘person of interest’. Then there is the cocaine and sex-on-the-sly which kept getting riskier and riskier and managed to keep me awake this time but certainly NOT RECOMMENDED. Something about having sex in the stall of a men’s room just doesn’t work well. Disgusting comes to mind ... Bill’s PREMIUM Courier Reliable Pick-up and Delivery service is in action later this morning. Two (2) picked ups, same customer so all good. Contact reads ‘customer MUST coordinate logistics’ before price negotiations can be started. Around that job finish up projects for the art show at Tupp’s this Saturday. A bit of a minor setback yesterday when home depot was TOTALLY out of the ‘natural’ oil stain so going to the show with only one (1) coat on the live edge display shelf. No one will know because I am NOT telling. NONE of the area stores in the region had a sngle pint. Poor Richard stopped in for a brief session early evening which was actually very late afternoon returning a book he borrowed. That act is ALWAYS appreciated. Not totally surprised as I know where he lives. Just down the street and around the corner. I goofed off yesterday and now today I must ketchup and get two (2) ten minute workouts in. The workouts are really starting to pay off and be noticeable. I am pleased and surprised and the Plan is to continue and carry on. I could go on but I am thinking you really are not all that concerned or interested in the sawdust piles in the garage. Happy December and I FAILED to mention plans and preps underway for that annual celebration. Also, no political comments or epidemic opinions. Being cautious on both of those fronts as I am in the very smallest or minorities and best to keep my words to myself. I am neither drinking the cool aid NOR am I hooked up to an IV of such solution(s).

Scientists for the first-time show cancer-killing activity of human neutrophils produced in the laboratory Early-stage research has shown that cancer cells from a well-known human cancer cell line (HeLa cells) can be killed by human neutrophils (a type of innate immune cell) that have been produced in a laboratory (rather than in the body). The breakthrough early-stage research opens up the possibility of being able to give patients access to the kind of exceptional cancer killing abilities that the immune cells of some healthy people naturally have. The work means that LIfT BioSciences, the company behind the work, can now proceed with their mission to create The World’s First Cell Bank of Cancer Killing Immune Cells that forms the basis for their potentially curative Leukocyte Infusion Therapy (LIfT). The breakthrough comes in Pancreatic Cancer Month, the first targeted indication for LIfT who plan to move into human clinical trials towards the end of next year. The work was achieved in partnership with King’s College London. Professor Farzin Farzaneh, who is leading the research at King’s, commented, “I was initially sceptical about this when LIfT Biosciences approached us. It is something that I don’t believe has been done before, and producing these specific cells with cancer killing ability is a notion we had not thought of before. We are excited by these early results and see the potential in LIfT BioSciences’ approach for further work”. LIfT BioSciences are partnered with King’s College London by life sciences cluster organisation, MedCity, after being selected for their ‘Collaborate to Innovate’ programme. The breakthrough in the production of cancer-killing immune cells in the laboratory means that LIfT BioSciences’s special cells can now potentially be produced in very high volumes without the need for repeated blood donations. LIfT’s Prof Zheng Cui discovered over a decade ago that certain individuals naturally have white blood cells with exceptional cancer-killing abilities, which can potentially be transfused into cancer patients. However, until now this was not logistically considered a realistic therapy for the global fight against cancer. Previously, to provide a sufficiently therapeutic volume of these cells would have required the screening of hundreds, or even thousands of donors in order to treat one patient. This new, patent pending invention potentially provides a viable, scalable, and safe method of producing a sufficient number of effective cancer-killing cells for treating cancer patients. The breakthrough also firmly positions LIfT as a product therapy rather than a medical procedure which means accelerated access to market and patients. Further research to enhance the cancer-killing activity of these neutrophils will confirm the Advanced Therapeutic Medicinal Product (ATMP) status which was awarded to LIfT by the European Medicines Agency earlier this year. Dr Nico Bruyniks, Chief Medical and Scientific Officer at LIfT BioSciences commented, “Cancer results from an accumulation of mutations and a failing immune system which is unable to remove cancer cells at an early stage. By producing highly effective immune cells in a lab we can potentially treat cancer in patients whose own innate immune systems are failing”. Sarah Haywood, CEO at MedCity, which devised and runs the Collaborate to Innovate programme, said: “Our programme was set up to connect promising life sciences companies in the region with leading academics, to help them solve a problem and get their idea from mind to market. LIfT BioSciences came to us with an ambitious mission to cure Pancreatic Cancer by 2021 (in clinical trials) and this significant progress by Professor Farzanah and his team puts them on course to make this a reality. It’s incredible work that could change the lives of so many and shows what can be achieved when academia and industry come together.” The company was set-up by Alex Blyth, whose mother, Margaret Blyth, died of Pancreatic cancer in 2014. This prompted Alex, who has worked in the Biopharma industry for 15 years, to set-up the company to find and develop a cure for Pancreatic Cancer and other unmet-need cancers. “Our invention is a significant milestone in our mission to cure pancreatic cancer and other cancers with low survival rates” said Alex Blyth, Chief Executive Officer at LIfT BioSciences, “We are delighted to be achieving such promising results as we move towards clinical trials. We now look forward to working with new and existing investment partners as we make cancer history!”

Clary Redd Discusses Estate and Gift Taxes Clawback from Trusts in Financial Planning Partner Clary Redd discussed the Treasury Department's potential plan to allow the IRS to “clawback” certain types of gifts completed under higher estate and gift tax exemption levels in a recent Financial Planning article. The development, which remains unfamiliar to many advisors and estate planners, poses a threat to wealthy individuals who use trusts to move assets out of their estate to avoid estate tax. According to the article, lifetime estate and gift tax exemptions reached a historic high in 2018 when they nearly doubled due to the 2017 Republican tax-code overhaul. These limits could revert back to prior levels before 2026, when the reversion is scheduled under current law, based on the current draft tax bill from the House Ways and Means Committee. This House provision could work together with Treasury’s recently issued Priority Guidance Plan to mandate clawbacks of certain types of gifts. "Treasury is targeting lifetime gifts that would, ostensibly, use the donor's gift tax basic exclusion amount (lifetime exclusion) while at the same time being designed so that the donor retains a beneficial interest in the gifted property," Redd stated. Redd defined "a classic example" of this strategy to be gift to a grantor retained income trust, or GRIT. A GRIT is an irrevocable trust in which the grantor retains an income stream (as contrasted with an annuity) for a term of years. "GRITs are attractive to wealthy individuals who want to use up their lifetime exclusion before it's sliced in half come 2026 but are also nervous about whether they can afford to lose entirely the economic benefit of the gifted assets," Redd explained. The article states that Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has called for wealthy Americans to "pay their fair share of tax". Redd noted that Treasury is "hostile to a concept that would enable a taxpayer to 'have his cake and eat it, too'" or to put assets into a trust that utilize a taxpayer’s lifetime exemption but aren't a "real" gift. Redd analyzed other key estate planning developments in his annual "Year in Review" article in the January 2021 issue of Trusts & Estates magazine and is a frequent columnist for Trusts & Estates. Redd concentrates his practice in estate planning, estate and trust administration and estate and trust-related litigation. He has a preeminent, national reputation for developing and implementing unique solutions to complex problems, resolving intra-family disputes efficiently and sensitively and providing practical advice for current and future generations.

Korzystanie z usług doradcy kredytowego w Szczecinie może przynieść wiele korzyści, szczególnie dla osób, które nie mają doświadczenia w zakresie finansów i kredytów. Doradcy kredytowi są specjalistami, którzy posiadają wiedzę na temat różnych ofert bankowych oraz instytucji finansowych. Dzięki temu mogą pomóc w znalezieniu najkorzystniejszej oferty kredytowej, która będzie dostosowana do indywidualnych potrzeb klienta. W Szczecinie, gdzie rynek kredytowy jest zróżnicowany, doradca może zaproponować rozwiązania, które nie są powszechnie znane lub dostępne dla przeciętnego konsumenta. Ponadto, doradcy kredytowi często mają dostęp do ofert promocyjnych oraz specjalnych warunków, które mogą być niedostępne dla osób starających się o kredyt samodzielnie. Dzięki ich wsparciu można również zaoszczędzić czas, ponieważ doradca zajmie się zbieraniem dokumentów oraz formalnościami związanymi z aplikacją o kredyt. Jak wybrać najlepszego doradcę kredytowego w Szczecinie Wybór odpowiedniego doradcy kredytowego w Szczecinie to kluczowy krok w procesie ubiegania się o kredyt. Istotne jest, aby zwrócić uwagę na kilka czynników, które mogą wpłynąć na jakość świadczonych usług. Po pierwsze, warto sprawdzić doświadczenie doradcy oraz jego kwalifikacje. Dobry doradca powinien posiadać odpowiednie certyfikaty oraz licencje, które potwierdzają jego kompetencje w zakresie doradztwa finansowego. Kolejnym ważnym aspektem jest reputacja doradcy – warto poszukać opinii innych klientów oraz sprawdzić referencje. Można to zrobić poprzez przeszukiwanie internetu lub pytanie znajomych o ich doświadczenia z danym doradcą. Dobrze jest również zwrócić uwagę na sposób komunikacji – profesjonalny doradca powinien być otwarty na pytania i chętnie dzielić się swoją wiedzą. Oprócz tego warto porównać oferty kilku doradców, aby mieć pewność, że wybrana osoba będzie w stanie zaoferować najlepsze warunki współpracy oraz korzystne rozwiązania finansowe. Co warto wiedzieć przed spotkaniem z doradcą kredytowym w Szczecinie Przed spotkaniem z doradcą kredytowym w Szczecinie warto przygotować się odpowiednio, aby maksymalnie wykorzystać czas spędzony na konsultacji. Przede wszystkim należy zebrać wszystkie niezbędne dokumenty dotyczące sytuacji finansowej, takie jak zaświadczenia o zarobkach, umowy o pracę czy informacje o innych zobowiązaniach finansowych. To pozwoli doradcy lepiej ocenić zdolność kredytową oraz dostosować ofertę do indywidualnych potrzeb klienta. Ważne jest również określenie swoich oczekiwań i celów związanych z kredytem – czy chodzi o zakup mieszkania, remont czy konsolidację zadłużenia. Im bardziej precyzyjne będą te informacje, tym łatwiej będzie doradcy zaproponować odpowiednie rozwiązania. Dobrze jest także zastanowić się nad pytaniami, które chcemy zadać podczas spotkania – mogą one dotyczyć zarówno samego procesu ubiegania się o kredyt, jak i warunków oferowanych przez różne instytucje finansowe. Jakie są najczęstsze błędy przy wyborze doradcy kredytowego w Szczecinie Wybór doradcy kredytowego w Szczecinie to proces, który może wiązać się z wieloma pułapkami i błędami. Jednym z najczęstszych błędów jest kierowanie się jedynie ceną usług bez uwzględnienia jakości oferowanej pomocy. Niska cena nie zawsze oznacza dobrą jakość usług – czasem lepiej jest zainwestować więcej w doświadczonego specjalistę niż oszczędzać na kimś mniej kompetentnym. Innym powszechnym błędem jest brak dokładnego sprawdzenia referencji oraz opinii innych klientów. Ignorowanie tego aspektu może prowadzić do wyboru niewłaściwego doradcy, który nie spełni oczekiwań klienta. Ważne jest także unikanie pośpiechu – podejmowanie decyzji bez dokładnej analizy ofert może skutkować późniejszymi problemami finansowymi. Klienci często zapominają również o konieczności zadawania pytań i wyjaśniania wszelkich niejasności podczas spotkania z doradcą; brak aktywności ze strony klienta może prowadzić do nieporozumień i niewłaściwego dobrania oferty do jego potrzeb. Jakie dokumenty są potrzebne do spotkania z doradcą kredytowym w Szczecinie Przygotowanie odpowiednich dokumentów przed spotkaniem z doradcą kredytowym w Szczecinie jest kluczowe dla sprawnego przebiegu całego procesu. W zależności od rodzaju kredytu, który chcemy uzyskać, lista wymaganych dokumentów może się różnić. Zazwyczaj jednak podstawowe dokumenty obejmują zaświadczenie o dochodach, które potwierdza nasze miesięczne zarobki. Może to być zaświadczenie od pracodawcy lub wyciąg z konta bankowego, jeśli jesteśmy przedsiębiorcami. Dodatkowo, warto przygotować umowy o pracę lub inne dokumenty potwierdzające naszą sytuację zawodową. Kolejnym ważnym elementem jest informacja o innych zobowiązaniach finansowych, takich jak kredyty czy pożyczki, które mogą wpłynąć na naszą zdolność kredytową. Warto również mieć przy sobie dokumenty dotyczące nieruchomości, jeśli ubiegamy się o kredyt hipoteczny – mogą to być akty notarialne, wyciągi z ksiąg wieczystych czy plany zagospodarowania przestrzennego. Przydatne mogą być także dane osobowe, takie jak dowód osobisty oraz numer PESEL. Jakie pytania zadać doradcy kredytowemu w Szczecinie Podczas spotkania z doradcą kredytowym w Szczecinie warto zadawać pytania, które pomogą nam lepiej zrozumieć ofertę oraz proces ubiegania się o kredyt. Przede wszystkim należy zapytać o dostępne opcje kredytowe oraz ich warunki. Ważne jest, aby dowiedzieć się, jakie są różnice między poszczególnymi produktami finansowymi oraz jakie są ich zalety i wady. Dobrym pomysłem jest również zapytanie o wysokość oprocentowania oraz dodatkowe koszty związane z kredytem, takie jak prowizje czy ubezpieczenia. Warto również dopytać o czas trwania procedury przyznawania kredytu oraz jakie dokumenty będą potrzebne na każdym etapie procesu. Innym istotnym pytaniem może być kwestia możliwości wcześniejszej spłaty kredytu oraz ewentualnych kar związanych z taką decyzją. Klient powinien także zainteresować się możliwością renegocjacji warunków umowy w przyszłości oraz tym, jak doradca zamierza wspierać go po przyznaniu kredytu. Jakie są najczęstsze rodzaje kredytów oferowanych przez doradców w Szczecinie Doradcy kredytowi w Szczecinie oferują szeroki wachlarz produktów finansowych, które można dostosować do różnych potrzeb klientów. Najpopularniejszym rodzajem kredytu jest kredyt hipoteczny, który przeznaczony jest na zakup nieruchomości lub jej remont. Kredyty hipoteczne charakteryzują się długim okresem spłaty oraz niższym oprocentowaniem w porównaniu do innych rodzajów kredytów. Innym często wybieranym produktem są kredyty gotówkowe, które można przeznaczyć na dowolny cel – od zakupu sprzętu elektronicznego po wakacje marzeń. Kredyty gotówkowe zazwyczaj mają krótszy okres spłaty i wyższe oprocentowanie niż kredyty hipoteczne. Warto również wspomnieć o kredytach konsolidacyjnych, które pozwalają na połączenie kilku zobowiązań w jedno, co ułatwia zarządzanie finansami i obniża miesięczne raty. Doradcy oferują także produkty skierowane do przedsiębiorców, takie jak kredyty inwestycyjne czy obrotowe, które pomagają w rozwijaniu działalności gospodarczej. Jakie są trendy na rynku kredytowym w Szczecinie Rynek kredytowy w Szczecinie, podobnie jak w innych miastach Polski, podlega dynamicznym zmianom i trendom, które wpływają na dostępność i warunki ofert finansowych. W ostatnich latach można zauważyć rosnące zainteresowanie kredytami hipotecznymi ze względu na niskie stopy procentowe oraz programy wsparcia dla młodych ludzi kupujących swoje pierwsze mieszkanie. Wiele banków oferuje atrakcyjne promocje oraz preferencyjne warunki dla osób starających się o taki rodzaj finansowania. Ponadto coraz więcej klientów zwraca uwagę na ekologiczne aspekty budownictwa i decyduje się na inwestycje w energooszczędne nieruchomości; banki odpowiadają na te potrzeby poprzez oferowanie tzw. „zielonych” kredytów hipotecznych z korzystniejszymi warunkami dla takich projektów. Równocześnie rośnie popularność kredytów konsolidacyjnych jako sposobu na zarządzanie zadłużeniem; klienci szukają rozwiązań umożliwiających połączenie kilku zobowiązań w jedno z niższą ratą miesięczną. Jakie są najważniejsze czynniki wpływające na zdolność kredytową w Szczecinie Zdolność kredytowa to jeden z kluczowych elementów branych pod uwagę przez banki podczas rozpatrywania wniosków o kredyty w Szczecinie. Istnieje wiele czynników wpływających na ocenę zdolności kredytowej klienta, a każdy z nich ma swoje znaczenie. Przede wszystkim banki analizują wysokość dochodów – im wyższe zarobki, tym większa szansa na uzyskanie korzystnych warunków kredytu. Ważne jest także źródło dochodu; osoby zatrudnione na umowę o pracę mają zazwyczaj lepsze perspektywy niż osoby prowadzące działalność gospodarczą lub pracujące na umowach cywilnoprawnych. Kolejnym istotnym czynnikiem jest historia kredytowa – banki sprawdzają wcześniejsze zobowiązania klienta oraz terminowość ich spłat; pozytywna historia zwiększa szanse na uzyskanie nowego kredytu. Dodatkowo brane są pod uwagę inne zobowiązania finansowe klienta; im więcej posiadamy aktywnych długów, tym mniejsza nasza zdolność do spłaty kolejnego zobowiązania. Jakie są różnice między doradcą a przedstawicielem banku w Szczecinie Wybór między doradcą kredytowym a przedstawicielem banku to decyzja, która może znacząco wpłynąć na proces ubiegania się o kredyt w Szczecinie. Doradca kredytowy działa niezależnie i ma dostęp do ofert różnych instytucji finansowych; dzięki temu może zaproponować najbardziej korzystne rozwiązania dostosowane do indywidualnych potrzeb klienta. Z kolei przedstawiciel banku reprezentuje jedną instytucję i oferuje tylko jej produkty; może to ograniczać możliwości wyboru i negocjacji warunków umowy. Doradcy często posiadają szerszą wiedzę na temat rynku finansowego oraz aktualnych trendów; dzięki temu są w stanie lepiej ocenić sytuację klienta i zaproponować mu optymalne rozwiązania. Warto również zauważyć, że doradcy często oferują kompleksową obsługę – pomagają nie tylko w wyborze odpowiedniego produktu, ale także zajmują się formalnościami związanymi z aplikacją o kredyt oraz monitorują cały proces aż do momentu wypłaty środków.

Internal Refurbishment of the North Wing (and West Wing procedure room) of the Quantock Unit (Oncology unit) with Willmott Dixon through the Scape Framework to convert outpatient facilities to provide an additional twelve bed ward for Weston General Hospital. The increase in beds is needed urgently so design work will progress alongside construction. The process required constant communication and collaboration between designer and builder. The existing department was designed for inpatient accommodation, but the original space standards were far less than required today. The area included: - Fifteen existing outpatient’s consultation rooms which have been adapted to inpatient cubicles. - Two waiting rooms have been converted 2-bed inpatient bays. - Five ancillary rooms have been converted to WCs/assisted WC and showers. - One staff room has been converted to patient re-gen room. - One consultation/examination room has been converted to a store. - One sluice has been extended and macerator has been installed. A new access was required for the renamed Knightstone Ward from the main hospital corridor. The single storey structure was clad in multi-coloured artificial timber cladding to reflect the seaside theme adopted for the fit-out.

The wayfinding system for Expedia Group Headquarters in Seattle celebrates the company’s ethos that travel is a force for good. Using travel and city exploration as a point of inspiration, the wayfinding program is designed to mimic city navigation using street names, addresses, and landmarks throughout the campus providing a systematic approach to finding destinations. The wayfinding system incorporates mural artwork into the architectural features at key decision-making points to serve as landmarks, aiding in wayfinding and expressing the company’s culture. Exterior signage follows a similar travel-oriented theme. Inspired by a folded map, the articulated panels for directional signage act as a metaphor for the beginning of a journey. The corten steel material for the exterior signage program complements other sculptural forms found in the campus landscape. Interior wayfinding signage uses a street addressing system for identification of workspaces and conference rooms, integrated into building walls, columns, floors, and organized at major intersections. Typography and graphics are clean and modern to reflect the architectural character of the buildings and the technological nature of Expedia’s business, harkening back to travel through their inspiration from transportation graphics. The resulting wayfinding system transforms the 40-acre Seattle waterfront campus into an engaging journey that embodies exploration and reflects Expedia's travel roots, making navigation both functional and meaningful.

A Closed Circuit Rebreather (CCR) is a breathing machine that removes the carbon dioxide of a user’s exhaled breath to allow the re-breathing (recycling) of the substantially unused oxygen content, and unused inert content when present, of each breath. Oxygen is added to replenish the amount metabolised by the user. This differs from an open-circuit breathing apparatus, where the exhaled gas is discharged directly into the environment. The purpose is to extend the breathing endurance of a limited gas supply. Rebreather technology may be used where breathing gas supply is limited, such as underwater or in space, where the environment is toxic or hypoxic, as in firefighting, mine rescue and high-altitude operations, or where the breathing gas is specially enriched or contains expensive components, such as helium diluent or anaesthetic gases.

February 4, 2019 Several companies constructed personalized nutrition products based on modern scientific methods. For example, personalized information about specific biomarkers, genes or gut bacteria can be extracted from body fluids. Other personalized information can be obtained by using questionnaires focusing on dietary habits and physical activity. Personalized diet programs, consultations or dietary packages are developed based on this information. In addition, biometric data monitors can adhere to the specific, personalized nutrition plan. Although these models are providing personalized nutrition programs, dietary recommendations or dietary products, their products are not really personalized. Instead, they are more of a slightly improved “one size fitsall” model. DNA-based dietary recommendation programs are constructed from the personal information of specific genes. These programs suggest that this information can impact a person’s fitness, body weight, aging, metabolism and other factors involved with a healthy lifestyle. Other DNA analysis business models provide personalized supplements based on the personal genotype and SNP analyses showing genetic association with certain medical conditions or diseases. DNA analysis is also helping prepare personalized diet plans with exercise training programs and personal health coaching for fitness improvement. Alternatively, DNA data provided by other companies are used to produce personalized dietary supplement products. Another approach has been analyzing biomarkers from an individual’s blood test. These results are used to make dietary and lifestyle changes, which will be monitored and adjusted with repeated blood testing. However, this approach looks more like a regular doctor-office visit with the personal recommendation to change the diet for improving personal levels of specific biomarkers, such as cholesterol. Questionnaires about lifestyles and goals are used for recommendations and service delivery of vitamins and dietary supplements. Another approach is the service delivery of vitamins and supplements. These are based on personal pharmaceutical drug use, importantly to avoid specific metabolic interactions decreasing the activity of used drugs and vitamins or supplements. Although all these products for personalized nutrition are using scientific approaches and scientific information, these products are still far from true, personalized nutrition. The major problem is in the reductionist approach focused on the interaction of nutrients or macromolecules on specific gene or gene products. However, an effective personalized nutrition solution requires a holistic understanding of health evaluating the interactions among diet, genes, gene products, health and environmental exposures. A novel approach for targeted personal nutrition recommendation was recently developed by researchers at Virginia Tech (Front Nutr. 2018 Nov 29;5:117). This method is integrating data from diet, gut microbiome, electronic health records, measures of physical activity and data from wearable sensors, and based on artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms modeling. This data is used to suggest personalized lifestyle adjustments. Although this method will identify a tailored personal nutritional recommendation or products with verified predictable effectiveness, this approach is unfeasible for the food industry given the amount of data that’s required. Moreover, consumers generally prefer a simple, effective solution, and nutrition companies prefer the easiest, and therefore cheaper, development of their products. On the other hand, a certain group of educated consumers may be interested in truly effective and tailored personalized nutrition products with proven effectiveness. Since the universal mechanisms of pharmacology and metabolism are the same for pharmaceutical drugs as for nutrition supplements, real personalized nutrition must be comparable to the science applied in personalized medicine, focusing on targeted disease prevention and therapies. For example, obesity and diabetes are civilization diseases associated with increased blood glucose levels after a meal. People have highly varied responses to identical meals. A machine-learning algorithm integrating blood parameters, dietary habits, anthropometrics, physical activity and gut microbiota was devised to accurately predict personalized post-meal glycemic response to real-life meals (Cell. 2015 Nov 19;163(5):1079-1094). Based on the microbiome analysis of stool samples, a personalized nutrition planning kit called Day Two, which balances blood sugar level, was successfully created. However, for other medical conditions the mechanism of preventative and therapeutic effects of food is not fully elucidated. An alternative to the expensive AI algorithms modeling is personalized dynamic adjustment of selected laboratory validated outcome markers (PDAM). PDAM consists of: 1) identification of a specific health condition and its molecular basis on the cellular level (personal biomarkers [PB]), 2) development and validation of PB in the personalized cell-based assay, 3) identification and development of nutritional/dietary intervention modulating PB, and 4) dynamic adjustment of personalized nutritional/dietary intervention based on PB changes. PDAM will use several laboratory techniques to process personal samples. Therefore, a protection of personal data must be in place by applying the standard HIPAA Privacy Rule (outlined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996). Although PDAM is not as simple as one-time DNA testing analysis or completing a health questionnaire, it is not as complicated as the complex AI algorithms modeling. Moreover, PDAM will allow a personal adjustment of nutrition/dietary intervention based on personal biomarkers in real time. Although PDAM is not a cheaper alternative to the current personalized nutrition approaches, PDAM can have a real impact on human well-being and health. However, as practically everybody can drive Toyota, not everybody can afford to drive Mercedes. Therefore, only a certain number of customers may embrace this new approach to personalized nutrition. While PDAM is the future of real personalized nutrition, the major question is, how far away is this future?
