Top Class Actions Testing the limits of virtual reality… Second Life—you may have heard of it—an enormously popular and just plain enormous virtual reality platform that enables you to totally reinvent yourself—many times over if you wish… (Think Avatar). Well, it’s the subject of a potential class action lawsuit filed this week. There’s a laundry list of allegations, including consumer fraud, stemming from real estate transactions that took place within the platform. The simpleton’s version (because Second Life can seem a bit non-sensical to those of us with our feet on terra firma), is that people—members—of Second Life who used real world money to purchase virtual real estate within the platform, have been duped. How? The allegations are that “Linden Research induced thousands of people to invest as much as $100 million of real money in virtual properties, then reclaimed those virtual properties from the purchasers without compensation.” There’s nothing virtual about that allegation. The law suit also claims that Linden Labs stated that it would protect members’ rights to their virtual property, and that those properties could be used as a source of revenue for the owners. However, the plaintiffs contend that members who purchased virtual real estate were in fact increasing the value of Linden Research in advance of an initial public offering or sale of Second Life. And, Linden Labs, at no time, made any attempt to compensate an estimated 50,000 participants who purchased virtual real estate based upon the company’s promises. None of this sounds even vaguely like science fiction—more like art imitating life…there really is no escape… Big Asbestos Settlement in Texas. A 67-year old man was awarded roughly $11 million by a jury this week, in settlement of his asbestos mesothelioma lawsuit. FYI—this is reportedly the largest settlement of its Continue reading “Week Adjourned: 4.23.10”
This article is for anyone who has ever thought, “I need to hide my IP.” Outlined below are the reasons why IP addresses can be hidden, along with the different ways to achieve just that. There are a lot of different reasons why people might want to become anonymous while browsing the internet. Anonymity means security and freedom in this digital age. Not in the sense of doing anything illegal or devious, either, but for more sensible reasons. Like getting access to geo-blocked content or keeping freedom of speech alive. Whatever the reason, hiding an IP address is simple enough when a person knows what to do. A few IP hiding methods exist, and this article goes through them so anyone can become entirely anonymous. What Is an IP Address? Think of the internet as a big interconnected highway that transfers information between different endpoints. An Internet Protocol (IP) address is the technology that this highway uses to identify who is accessing what and where. In effect, it’s a system that is used to identify all of the servers, networks, and devices on the internet. A valid IP address forms the structure that decides if information goes to it’s intended destination or not, which is why internet service providers assign each of their clients a unique IP address. Most IP addresses currently consist of four numbers valued between 0 and 255 in an x.x.x.x format. This format is determined by the IPv4 protocol that ISP’s use. Although the internet is now slowly transitioning to the new IPv6 format as well. Why Should Anyone Want to Hide Their IP? Still wondering why one would want to hide their IP address? Here’s why. For Privacy and Security No one can access the internet without a legitimate IP address, however, using one opens up a whole lot of privacy invasion. IP addresses reveal a person’s physical location and can be used to track a person’s online activities. In fact, everyone is already being tracked by their ISPs, advertisers, and government bodies. For the most part, these organizations are harmless and won’t use that information for nefarious reasons. But there are people who will. Hackers have two ways of gathering sensitive information they can exploit: – By latching onto and tracking a person’s IP address. – And by using security breaches to access the information companies have gathered. These deviants then use the information they’ve gathered to leverage different methods of attack. For example, social engineering techniques like targeted phishing attacks. To Bypass Geo-Blocking Different rules and regulations the world over decide how media and entertainment can be distributed. Content that is available in a country like the US differs from what’s available in, say, Japan. Even if a resident of the US then decides to travel to Japan, they still wouldn’t be able to access US shows and other content there. Unless that content is already available in Japan. This happens because an IP address doesn’t travel with a device. As soon as someone connects to a new network, their IP will reflect that. To Eliminate Bandwidth Throttling Internet service providers have the power to throttle a connection if they deem it fit to do so. Recent investigations by journalists have shown that ISP’s tend to throttle a user’s connection if they do certain things online, like download or stream content. It isn’t fair, but it does happen. An IP address can be hidden even from a service provider. But the connection has to be encrypted as well to hide any online activities from them too. Four Ways to Hide an IP Address 1. Use a Public WiFi Network Anyone who connects to a public WiFi network will take on the IP address of that network. It’s not elegant, but it works. Just keep in mind, though, that public WiFi can be a huge security risk, as these networks are often unsecure. 2. Connect Via a Mobile Network It’s not a cheap method of connecting to the internet, but it is easy to do at least. Simply create a WiFi hotspot with a mobile device that’s connected to a mobile network. Then connect any other devices to that hotspot and voilà. Just note that internet service providers and others will still be able to track the connection and any online activities. 3. Sign Up For a VPN VPN technology has become a popular tool for those who value their privacy and security. It’s also come a long way in terms of commercialization with plenty of services now catering to both the individual user and businesses. There are various methods of setting up a VPN, but the most common is signing up for a VPN service. These providers offer different packages and perks, but the main thing is that the VPN will encrypt a connection and hide its IP address. How the VPN process works: The connection is encrypted before any information is sent out. That information then goes through a VPN server where the encryption is decrypted, after which it’s sent on to the original destination. Any information that is sent back is then encrypted again by the server and decrypted by the VPN on the device. So how does this process hide an IP? The connection takes on the IP address of the VPN server. So the person using it is essentially ‘imitating’ the server’s location. 4. Connect to a Proxy Server A proxy server functions much in the same way that a VPN does. A person connects to a remote proxy server of their choice. They then access content via that route by taking on the server’s IP address. However, that’s where the similarity ends. Whereas a VPN encrypts the data sent over the network, a proxy doesn’t. Meaning that anyone (including an ISP in your area) can still snoop and see what’s happening. That said, this is an effective way of getting around geo-blocked content. Hiding an IP address is by no means the only way to protect from outside attack or spying. But it is a step in the right direction. Anyone who wishes to hide their IP address is already starting to think about taking steps to secure their privacy and security. Which is a great thing. Those who decide to use any of these methods should still make sure that they follow good cybersecurity etiquette.

GP clinics in the Wyong-Gorokan and Toukley-Budgewoi catchments in Dobell can now recruit overseas trained doctors and bonded medical practitioners, after the region successfully campaigned to have its Distribution Priority Area (DPA) status reviewed. Lake Haven, Tuggerawong, Wyong, Toukley and Blue Haven are now classified as DPA following an application to the Federal Liberal and Nationals Government’s “exceptional circumstances” review. Senator for New South Wales Jim Molan said the successful application from the five towns means local medical practices in the Wyong-Gorokan and Toukley-Budgewoi catchments have more opportunity to address local GP doctor shortages. “This change gives local GP practices a larger pool of doctors to recruit from, which should make it easier for clinics to secure more doctors for Lake Haven, Tuggerawong, Wyong, Toukley and Blue Haven,” Senator Molan said. “The DPA classification identifies regions where people find it harder to see a doctor, based on the needs of the community. “Although the classification is updated each year, several medical practices in this area indicated they had been hit by sudden and unexpected changes and unmet demand during the pandemic period and had found it especially difficult to recruit doctors to the area.” Reasons might include the retirement of GPs without replacement, changes in socioeconomic circumstances of the area, increasing GP waiting times, increasing Emergency Department presentations for GP type treatments or a sharp increase in patient numbers and patient needs. Senator Molan said the DPA classification does not guarantee a doctor, but it allows medical practices in DPA catchments to recruit doctors subject to location restrictions, such as those who trained overseas. “Having enough doctors is fundamental to any community and that’s even more true when you live or work in a regional place like Lake Haven, Tuggerawong, Wyong, Toukley or Blue Haven. “For people of all ages, from babies to the elderly, being able to see a doctor when you have an illness or injury is important to your health and wellbeing,” Senator Molan said. Federal Regional Health Minister, Dr David Gillespie said he set up the review process to ensure that an area’s DPA status was based on contemporaneous information, supported vulnerable patient cohorts and was responsive to significant workforce and population changes. The exceptional circumstances review applications were considered by an independent working group, which made recommendations to Minister Gillespie. As well as changes to the health workforce or services, the review considers demographics, and more up to date data which was not available at the time of the previous DPA update. The DPA indicator has been in place for three years, helping prioritise access to doctors for underserviced rural areas. It is one of many Australian Government initiatives to address the maldistribution of the medical workforce and encourage doctors under location restrictions to work in regional, rural and remote communities.
Biomass is biological material derived from living or recently living organisms. In the context of producing bioenergy, it typically refers to agricultural byproducts and residues, woody waste products, and crops and microbes grown specifically for fuel. Bioenergy is a renewable form of energy produced from biomass. Development of bioenergy could contribute to long-term environmental and economic sustainability, and help mitigate the climate impact of using fossil fuels. Frequently Asked Questions About Bioenergy Below are common questions about bioenergy and answers provided by the U.S. Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

When there is a lot of excess insulin and blood sugar in our blood stream, it signals our body to put that excess sugar in storage. We can store some sugar in our liver and muscles, however, when these are full our body start to store the extra sugar as fat. This of course starts to cause weight gain. Furthermore, When the insulin levels rises, it puts the brakes on burning fat for fuel and encourages storage of incoming food, mostly as fat. That's why as long as the diet is high in carbohydrates, the body never has a chance to burn its own fat, making weight loss difficult. However, limiting carb consumption stimulates increased fat burning and decreased fat storage.

Juneteenth Is A Federal Holiday Now, But What That Means For Workers Varies Widely Stock markets? Open. Post office? Open. Federal courts? Schools? Banks? Businesses? It depends. Juneteenth, the holiday commemorating the end of slavery by marking the day enslaved people in Texas learned they were free, is now a federal holiday. The move comes after growing support nationwide for observing the day of celebration and reflection. But actual practices for marking the holiday still vary widely. Some government agencies remain open, citing short notice Establishing a new federal holiday — effective immediately — caused some scrambling at courts and government agencies. They typically observe federal holidays, but this time, there have been a variety of outcomes. Many "nonessential" government offices did shut down. The U.S. Postal Service remained open, expressing support for the holiday but saying that it is "not possible to cease the operations of the Postal Service" with just 24 to 48 hours to plan for it. Some federal courts shut down, but not all did. Similarly, school districts that usually honor federal holidays had to individually decide whether to stay open on Friday, or shut with very little notice to families. There was no consistent strategy: For instance, Baltimore City schools closed, while Baltimore County schools stayed open. Businesses and nonprofits aren't required to close, and some had to swiftly decide whether to pivot ... Federal holidays aren't mandatory for businesses in the U.S. But a small number of businesses acted swiftly to observe the holiday — even with just a few hours' notice. Stanley Black & Decker announced late Thursday that it would take Friday off for "hope and healing" and would honor the new federal holiday in future years as well. But many others stuck with their previous plans, saying it was just too tough to declare a day off without more warning. "There just was not enough time to plan and prepare to announce and implement this holiday appropriately," Alesia Jones, the head of human resources at the University of Alabama, Birmingham, told NPR. Jones said she was excited (and surprised) that the federal government and the state of Alabama moved so quickly to create the new holiday. But shutting down a large research institution and hospital without more advance notice "could create a level of disruption or uncertainty" that would be counterproductive. She said the university is committed to recognizing the holiday and working on the details for what it will do in the future. ... while many others were already planning to observe Juneteenth Many businesses had already planned to mark the holiday. Some started the practice last year, after the racial reckoning prompted by the murder of George Floyd. Reactions to these corporate policies vary, with some rejecting them as empty symbolism while others welcome them as a sign of inclusivity and attention to racial issues. A Mercer surveyreleased on June 3 found that 9% of surveyed companies planned to observe Juneteenth as a holiday in 2021 — the same percentage as planned to observe Columbus Day/Indigenous People's Day, a long-established federal holiday. For some businesses — notably Nike — observing Juneteenth means actually closing retail establishments. For others, like Starbucks and Best Buy, locations will remain open, but employees receive extra pay for working. Other companies say they're recognizing Juneteenth without actually observing it. Google is not giving people the day off but is encouraging them to cancel meetings. AT&T held internal events recognizing the holiday but also encouraged people to use their existing leave to take Juneteenth off. Rosa Nunez, the director of diversity, equity and inclusion at the law firm Foley Hoag, argues that nodding to the holiday without paid leave is insufficient. "It should be a paid holiday and not just a check-the-box holiday added to your calendar," says Nunez, whose organization began observing Juneteenth as a paid day off last year. "You really have to be meaningful and authentic in order to be impactful." More workplaces may observe the holiday in years to come Now that a federal holiday has established, many companies that have so far declined to observe the holiday may change course. Many big banks say they'll start observing the holiday next year, and in the meantime, they're are offering employees a floating day off to use sometime this year. The stock exchanges remain open for this year, although they may reevaluate in the future. And many other organizations, while not embracing the holiday this year, have indicated plans to work it into their calendars in the years ahead. Jones says that the top leaders of the University of Alabama, Birmingham have committed to recognizing the holiday in years ahead, although the details are still being worked out. And she says she's not sure if that would have happened without the state and federal recognition. Nunez says marking Juneteenth is only one of many steps a company should take toward greater equity and equality. And she hopes the federal holiday, although not mandatory for most workplaces, inspires companies to follow suit. "The recognition of the stain of slavery and slavery in the United States and the work that needs to be done — I mean, it should be followed by many, many organizations," she says. " The private sector doesn't have to follow the government, but it's just the right thing to do." Copyright 2021 NPR. To see more, visit https://www.npr.org.

Marketers have developed many types of attribution models based on their unique circumstances, campaigns, product, sales strategy, and KPIs. Below, we list five of the most common single-touch and multi-touch attribution models that marketing teams can use to assign credit for conversions. Single-touch Attribution Models A single-touch attribution model assigns all of the credit for revenue generation to one specific touchpoint along the marketing journey. First Touch Attribution A first-touch attribution model assigns 100% of the credit for a conversion event to the marketing touchpoint that drove a prospective customer to your website for the first time. Lead Creation Attribution A lead creation attribution model assigns 100% of the credit for a conversion event to the marketing touchpoint that generates a lead for your company. To deploy this model effectively, you should develop a clear definition of what constitutes a “lead”. A lead could consist of just a name and contact information for a prospect, but it may require additional qualifying criteria before it can be considered a lead. Last Touch Attribution In a last-touch attribution model, the creation of a sales opportunity is attributed to the last marketing touchpoint that the prospect interacted with before the conversion happened. Multi-touch Attribution Models Multi-touch attribution models assign varying levels of credit to each marketing touchpoint that the customer interacts with as they move through the marketing funnel towards a purchase. Unlike the single-touch attribution models, where individual touchpoints are assigned 100% of the credit, touchpoints in a multi-touch model share credit for conversion events. Marketing touchpoints in this paradigm are seen as collectively contributing to the conversion. Linear attribution is the most simple multi-touch attribution model. Once a customer makes a purchase, the model distributes credit evenly between all of the marketing touchpoints that the customer interacted with within their purchasing journey. If the customer was referred to the website from social media, then interacted with a white paper, a YouTube video and a sales agent, each of these touchpoints would receive equal credit for contributing to the revenue generation. Data-driven attribution uses marketing analytics and complex algorithms to produce a customized attribution model that best aligns with your unique buying process. A data-driven attribution model can help organizations determine which of their marketing efforts and touchpoints have the greatest impact on accelerating purchase behaviors, how individual touchpoints contribute to conversions and how to optimize marketing spend. Data-driven attribution is certainly the most complex type of attribution model, but the benefit is that you’ll get the most accurate picture of how your marketing touchpoints are contributing to downstream revenue.
The names of Runge and Kutta are traditionally associated with a class of methods for the numerical integration of ordinary differential equations. From the discussion in a previous entry (see menu under) "ODE - Euler Method", the main reason why Euler's method has a large truncation error per step is that in evolving the solution from xn to xn + 1, the method only evaluates derivatives at the beginning of the interval, i.e., at n. The method is, therefore, very asymmetric in regards to the beginning and the end of the interval. It is possible to construct a more symmetric integration method by making an Euler-like trial step to the midpoint of the interval, and then using the values of both x and y at the midpoint to make the real step across the interval. To be more specific, introducing two parameters k1 and k2: k1 = h f (xn, yn) k2 = h f (xn + h/2, yn + k1/2) yn + 1 = Yn + k2 This new symmetrization cancels out the first-order error, making the method second-order, and is generally known as the second-order Runge-Kutta method. Euler's method can be regarded as a first-order We show in the next tab our code, test and implementation of this method.
September 23 2019 – Robert Fiumara How Women Are Bucking Tradition In Their Chef’s Apparel Historically, chef’s apparel has been less-than-flattering – baggy white jackets and pants don’t exactly scream high fashion. In defiance to tradition, many women in the culinary industry are saying “no” to baggy dress clothes and are instead embracing tailored lines and a variety of colors. The culinary arts are a creative specialty; why shouldn’t women be able to express the same flair through their clothing? Today’s culinary wear calls for clean silhouettes and items that are functional and fashionable. Learn the trends in women’s chef wear that are defining the modern age. Traditionally, chefs have worn white to increase their visibility, command a sense of respect, and signify cleanliness. It can be hard to do those things, however, when you’re covered in splatter stains. Today’s chefs are bucking tradition and choosing more flattering coats in shades like charcoal and even black. Darker hues provide an instant update to your look and make you appear more polished by hiding spills (perfect for when you have to make an appearance to accept compliments for your work). Rethink the Apron Even aprons – the workhorse necessity of all culinary artisans – are getting a facelift. Swap out your old, stained apron for a new model, created in fabrics like denim and canvas. They create a hip, urban vibe while also paying homage to organic and sustainable materials. With durability and stain resistance, aprons in these fabrics will naturally help you look more put together at work while providing the function you need to get through the workday. Zippers, Not Buttons The traditional chef’s jacket gets an instant update when you swap out the standard buttons for sleek zippers. It provides a sense of edge that subtly communicates that your culinary aesthetic stands out from the crowd. From a functional standpoint, zippered jackets make it easier for you to get your jacket off and on again. You can also enjoy more flexibility from venting, and some come with features like thermometer pockets and a tab to help secure your apron. A short or three-quarter sleeve is becoming more popular with chefs for a simple reason: it helps keep your outfit cleaner during service. Aside from functionality, opting for a short or ¾ sleeve can help you stay cooler in the kitchen (a must) while helping you stand out from the crowd. Chef’s clogs are not only functional but an opportunity to showcase your unique style. While you may be limited in the color and style of your chef’s coat based on management preference, you likely have more freedom when it comes to your feet. Chef’s clogs come in a variety of colors, styles, and patterns. Use them as an opportunity to showcase your personal flair. The modern age is redefining the way we see chef’s apparel. From new hues and materials, traditional coats and aprons are getting a facelift. Modern chef’s wear combines fashion and function, good tailoring, and clean lines for items that are as beautiful as they are useful. Shop Fiumara Apparel Now!

This epigraph by French poet Arthur Rimbaud is inscribed in the score of Arthur Honegger’s atmospheric tone poem, Pastorale d’été (Summer Pastorale). The piece is like a musical painting. It doesn’t evoke literal images, but instead feelings and loose associations. The natural world awakens amid the powerful inevitability of dawn. The soul of nature speaks through the music. Consider the distinct personas of the solo instruments, from the opening horn to the oboe with its pastoral associations. As the music progresses, you may hear a fleeting hint of jazz and the blues, sounds which were in the air in Paris around this time. Honegger wrote Pastorale d’été in the summer of 1920, while vacationing in the Swiss Alps. Here it is played by the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Jesús López-Cobos:
Treasury kite flying obscures the view Macro & Overnight The main macro themes for this week are the impact of lower US inflation, the UK’s budget, and the G20 meeting in Bali. Further reflection on the US inflation data showed that the goods component was lower, but the services element remained persistently strong. Some analysts have pointed out a non-recurring benefit to the print from lower healthcare costs. Something that the Fed may choose to ignore. However, last week’s rebound in risk assets undoubtedly has a sizeable short-covering element, but it continued its move across Asian markets overnight. In its wake, there has been a breakdown in the DXY dollar index to below 107. This 6% fall in the space of a month provides at least temporary respite from tight global monetary conditions. As if by way of a cautionary note, Gold and silver rallied, indicating a latent fear that the Fed might be tempted to loosen prematurely. Yesterday FOMC member Mary Daly said, “you have to be mindful of the cumulative tightening that’s already in the system. You have to be mindful of the lags in monetary policy. You have to be mindful of the risks that are all throughout the global economy and the tremendous uncertainty that we have even about what the evolution of inflation is going to be.” Comments can be interpreted as dovish but also clueless. The UK’s third attempt this year at a budget will be a defining moment for the Sunak/Hunt partnership. After their predecessors’ failed “think tank simulation” exercise, the markets will look for higher taxes, allowances that can be eaten away by inflation and strict nominal spending limits. So many kites have flown above Whitehall recently that it is unlikely that Treasury officials have seen much of the autumn sunshine. However, Jeremy Hunt could not be more explicit. It will be painful. Boosted by better than expected mid-term results, Joe Biden might meet President Xi of China at the G20 in Bali this week. Their first meeting as heads of state. UK Company News Digital transformation supplier Kainos announced strong H1 results, with upgrades likely for the full year. Cream cake franchisor Cake Box released in-line H1 results and maintained guidance for the year. Addiction treatment specialist Indivior has announced the acquisition of Opiant Pharma in the US. Martin Sorrel’s S4 Capital released results showing Q3 Gross Profit with LFL growth of +29% and reiterated its guidance for Operational EBITDA of approximately £120m for FY22.

Gfe Escorts Low Harley S62, South Yorkshire Nestled in between imposing high-rise buildings and chattering crowds of commuters, this small corner of the city was painted in neon, soaked in a cacophonous tableau of desire and secret craving. It was here that our protagonists, masked by their nom de guerre - the Gfe Escorts Low Harley, the call girl, and the sex employee, began to challenge the destructive stereotypes that sought to specify their presence. Aria, the gfe escort, was something of an enigma. Aria often pondered how little people understood the role she played for her clients - a muse, a therapist, a confidante - someone who was there when the rest of the world appeared like a cold, unyielding place. Cass, the Low Harley Gfe Escorts, was a tangible paradox. Her effervescent laughter and active attitude masked a previous stained with heartache and disregard. Despite her tumultuous history, she found solace in her work, further solidifying her belief in the power of empathy and human connection. Her nights were an orchestrated dance, her existence a relaxing balm to the weary and the lonely. Through the profound intimacy she shared with her customers, Cass looked for to heal the wounds inflicted upon her by society's derision. Every whispered trick and stolen memory was a testament to her strength. There was Zara, a sex worker and artist with a spirit that looked for to defy expectations. Equipped with an indomitable decision, she offered her clients exceptional enthusiasm, a canvas upon which they could express their most primal desires. In their clandestine affairs, she coaxed forth an unique emotionality, intending to show how her unconventional occupation could also be a sanctuary for the broken and misconstrued. In the streets that crisscrossed the city's underbelly, these 3 ladies bore the impact of society's refuse, derision delicately tossed their way like crumpled, spent dollar costs. Yet, as fate would have it, they found solace and strength in each other. In the darkest recesses of this neon-lit Eden, they discovered a shared resilience, a resilient defiance that permitted them to increase above their scenarios. Their whispered conversations in smoky back rooms and shadowed corners sparked the ashes of revolution within their hearts. They spoke of dreams and aspirations, a desire to bring modification, and a yearning to shatter the misconceptions that shackled them. It was no longer a concern of if, however when. Therefore, the unlikely troika, joined by their shared defiance of convention, forged a course towards a future where the paradigms of prostitution and escort work were no longer burdened with embarassment or disdain. They promoted the rights of those who were silenced, combating for acceptance and the freedom to enjoy without judgment. Their individual development was however a stepping stone, a driver towards a world that extended a hand to the misunderstood. This is the tale of Aria, Cass, and Zara, and their journey beyond the unjustly designated colors of darkened nights. As their story unfolds, laced in furtive glances and fleeting caresses, it attests to the strength of the human spirit and the power of camaraderie between people who, versus all odds, came together to challenge the world and, eventually, transform it. Rolling waves crashed upon the beach, each notes a celestial lullaby whispered upon the sands. It was on this picturesque canvas that Aria, Cass, and Zara chose to take a short-term reprieve from their whirlwind crusade due to the fact that they comprehended the importance of invigorating their spirits before continuing their noble battle. Their laughter filled the air, carried away by the playful breeze that scampered over the tousled waves. Moist sand squelched under their bare feet as they left a trail of linked actions, a testament to the united journey they were bound to embark upon. The liberty of their footprints mirrored the freedom of their spirits, reinforcing their willpower with each spirited step. As they strolled along the beautiful coastline, they found solace and strength in each other's presence. They reveled in the innocence of their friendship, their hearts swelling with expect the future-- a future where they would no longer withstand the refuse for welcoming their identities. A short distance from where our brave trio lounged, brilliant, vibrant pops of color dotted the sand where remnants of a seaside carnival ventured to capture the whimsy of the fading light. Enchanted by the sights and noises of the celebration, they strolled hand in hand, the electric air crackling with anticipation. Invited by the aromas of sun-warmed fairy floss and fresh-baked pretzels, Aria beheld the pinnacle of her youth dream - a carousel that spun like a kaleidoscope of memories long forgotten, memories of a time when the world had not yet cornered her into the life she now led. The merry-go-round served not just as a countenance of innocent pleasure however as a metaphor for how life's weaves could come up with unforeseen beauty and camaraderie. Cass, ensorcelled by the tunes of a nearby artist, relinquished her worries and inhibitions with the calming touch of the ocean waves. Her dance, stunning and unrestrained, became a sign of her steadfast desire to challenge difficulty and embrace life's vibrancy. Zara discovered inspiration in the scattering of brilliantly colored shells upon the glowing seam where the sea accepted the sand-- a vision that sparked her artistic soul. With an identified fervor, she began to craft a mural linked within the sand, her creative protest overflowing with passion, provoking her desire for modification and acceptance. On this unforeseen beach vacation, Aria, Cass, and Zara shared cherished dreams, weaving a tapestry of laughter and vulnerability, developing a bond that transcended their individual experiences. United beneath the stunning panorama painted by the setting sun, their souls were renewed with renewed hope and a fervent commitment to their crusade. As the sun bade farewell, giving up to the growing darkness, and the vibrant lights of the carnival painted the night sky, the trio left the joyous coast, their hearts ablaze with the promise of a better tomorrow. The symbol of their break, the unceasing ocean, acted as a tip that the tides of change were inevitable, getting rid of the footprints of their brief escape, but leaving behind an enduring mark upon their souls. Nestled between towering high-rise buildings and chattering crowds of commuters, this small corner of the city was painted in neon, soaked in a cacophonous tableau of desire and secret yearning. Within its moody alleys, brothels, and clubs cast their seductive shadow and offered shelter to a flourishing neighborhood that the world was so excited to condemn. It was here that our lead characters, masked by their nom de guerre-- the gfe escort, the call girl, and the sex employee, began to challenge the destructive stereotypes that sought to define their existence. Through hardship, they found their strength, accepted their individual growth, and formed an unanticipated, empowering bond. Aria frequently pondered how little individuals understood the role she played for her customers - a muse, a therapist, a confidante - someone who was there when the rest of the world appeared like a cold, unyielding place. \|Low Harley Escorts \|Prostitutes Low Harley \|Sluts Low Harley \|Hookers Low Harley \|Call Girls Low Harley \|Escort Agency Low Harley \|Slags Low Harley \|Free Sex Low Harley \|Anal, CIM, OWO, GFE Low Harley \|Whores Low Harley \|Massage Parlours Low Harley \|Independent Escort Low Harley Girls Low Harley \|Chinese Massage Low Harley \|Nuru Massage Low Harley \|Sex in Low Harley

Palmer North Course at The K Club The Palmer North Course overview The recently renamed Palmer North Course at The K Club, also known as the Ryder Cup Course, is one of Ireland’s most famous golf courses, having hosted the 2006 matches. A 1991 Arnold Palmer design and a true test of golf, the par-72 plays a massive 7350-yards from the back tees, but fortunately for the regular golfer, other tee options are available. The River Liffey winds its way through the course, making it a prominent feature that is used well on several holes. Whilst challenging, golfers will still be rewarded with a course that plays through picturesque Kildare countryside, which is welcome relief amongst this links-laden land. The 7th is a par-5 measuring over 600 yards from the championship tees! The hole features a double dogleg where golfers must carry their ball over sand, rough and water, whilst the green sits on its own little island, wedged between two arms of the River Liffey. If ever a hole was designed for match play, this is it. Did You Know? Northern Irishman Darren Clarke shot the course record with a 12 under par round of 60 during the 1999 European Open. A record that is unlikely to be beaten. Accommodation near Palmer North Course The K Club The K Club is a magnificent 5-star resort near Dublin that has been impressing guests since opening in 1991. The ultimate Irish country escape - stay here for good golf and luxury accommodations.
Blue Cohosh Root Blue Cohosh Root shares its name with the black variety, but little else. Although both are members of the order ranunculales, the blue variety - which goes by the scientific name of Caulophyllum thalictroides - is a member of the beriberidaceae family along with various blueberry-like species such as bilberry and huckleberry ("black" cohosh is actually part of the buttercup family). Caulophyllum thalictroides powder can be taken in capsule form. Traditionally however, sliced Blue Cohosh Root is commonly prepared as a tincture, meaning that it is soaked in grain alcohol in order to extract specific compounds. Because of its abortifacient properties, pregnant women should avoid Blue Cohosh Root. Papoose Root, Squawroot, Blue Ginseng, Yellow Ginseng Not to be used during pregnancy.

Snails typically hibernate through the winter months. One study found, however, that snails are capable of hibernating sleep for three years. With no food and water for three years, the snails were revived with just a bit of water. More Snail Facts: - Snail blood is white. - Snails can walk on water. Well, sort of — it's more of a scoot, really. The snail's weight and size is insignificant enough that they are fairly buoyant. To travel across the water, the snail wiggles its "foot," creating a rippling motion. For a human to perform a similar feat, our feet would have to be several times bigger than a football field. - Snails typically live three to four years, but they can live for decades.
The Roman Shades are beautiful, flexible window shade treatment option that adds texture, vibrancy, and color to a room. They provide a practical choice, insulation, light filtration and also privacy. There are many styles and choices of Roman Shades used to decorate your window. Depending on your choice you can choose, there is traditional, casual or contemporary look. Types of Roman Shades The Roman shades can either be flat or hobbled. You can select the style of your desire from these types. Flat roman shades are the ones which are preferred by many people. This may be because they create a clean and uncluttered look which makes them fit the modern homes. However, the hobbled Roman shades are proffered for the formal sitting or dining room areas. This is because the hobbled Roman shades create a look of grandeur and also add texture. You should consider the roman shades which are made of fabric. This is because the fabric gives clean, crisp folds as the shade are raised or lowered. You can also consider the style which suits you. For example, the top down/bottom up. This allows you to lower your shade from the top as well as raise it like a normal shade. It is important to decide whether you want the shade to block completely light or if you desire the light to come through even if they are closed. You can also consider the color of the Roman shade. The color of the Roman shade should, therefore, match the color pattern of your room.

Algrorithms and Melody This is a cool read about the mathematical limitations of the number of melodies that are possible. Two guys generated every possible melody with algorithms and then released them to the public for really cool, noble reasons. Check out this fun read about it: It’s interesting to note that many people in the music business, including songwriters, composers, and recording engineers/producers I worked with, feel that all melodies pretty much already exist or that it has become super hard to still come up with great melodies. I absolutely do not share that opinion, at all. I believe that is only true if your intent is to come up with very simple, 1-dimensional, short, overly repetitive melodic phrases like the ones in the songs that make the Grammys or that you hear on hit radio. However; the richness and uniqueness in melody lie in how you structure or combine various shorter phrases. I am certain I can come up with at least a thousand more unique melodies, just by how I combine shorter melodic phrases or by playing around with interval or modulation combinations. The Missing Hit Song This is a fun podcast about a guy who remembered this funky guitar part that he thought was a huge hit. This leads him to a long search because the hit song seemed to have completely vanished as if it had never existed. It’s a great story about how memory works and how fickle it can be.

(DailyVantage.com) – President Joe Biden, who has largely neglected the crisis at our southern border, announced on Friday that he would be targeting a Mexican drug cartel that had been peddling fentanyl into the country. The administration, which has been criticized for taking a passive role in going after Mexican drug gangs at the border, is now attempting to ramp up its efforts to clamp down on crime in the region. Attorney General Merick Garland’s Justice Department disclosed that it will be unleashing criminal charges against the Sinaloa Cartel, known for trafficking fentanyl. Garland said the following in a statement on Friday: “Today, the Justice Department is announcing significant enforcement actions against the largest, most violent, and most prolific fentanyl trafficking operation in the world.” For much of Biden’s time in office, however, little attention has been paid to the illegal activities taking place along our southern border. Rather, the administration has gone ruthlessly after former President Trump, his supporters, parents, and pro-life advocates. In March 2021, Garland and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas declared that “white supremacy” was America’s biggest national security threat. White supremacy, Garland remarked, is “the most persistent threat in the homeland.” He then went after the Jan. 6 protesters, saying that they were “ethnically or racially motivated”. White supremacy, however, is an issue of little interest to the average American voter. Drug overdoses, on the other hand, present ordinary citizens with a real danger. According to a Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report released in 2020, “In 2020, 91,799 drug overdose deaths occurred in the United States.” And a Pew study released in January 2022 shows that black men have been disproportionately affected by the opioid pandemic. So, for most of the duration of Biden’s presidency, his focus has been elsewhere. Copyright 2023, DailyVantage.com
how do i apply for unemployment in florida Applying for unemployment in Florida can be a daunting task, especially if you are unfamiliar with the process. Fortunately, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) provides resources and guidance to help you through the process. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you get started. Step 1: Gather the Required Documents Before you begin the application process, make sure you have the necessary documents. The DEO requires a valid Social Security number, your driver’s license or state identification card, and a copy of your most recent pay stub. If you are applying for benefits for a family member, you will need to provide their Social Security number as well. Step 2: Create a Reemployment Assistance Account The next step is to create a Reemployment Assistance Account. This is an online account that will be used to manage your unemployment benefits. To create an account, visit the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity website and click on the “Create Account” button. You will need to provide your Social Security number, driver’s license or state identification card, and a valid email address. Once you have completed the registration process, you will receive an email with a link to activate your account. Step 3: Submit Your Application Once you have created your Reemployment Assistance Account, you can begin the application process. To do this, log in to your account and click on the “File a Claim” link. You will then be asked to provide information about your employment history, including your most recent employer and the reason you are no longer employed. You will also need to provide information about your income and any other sources of income you may have. Step 4: Wait for a Response Once you have submitted your application, the DEO will review it and determine whether or not you are eligible for benefits. This process can take up to two weeks. If your application is approved, you will receive a notice in the mail with instructions on how to access your benefits. Step 5: Monitor Your Benefits Once you have been approved for benefits, you will need to monitor your account to ensure that you are receiving the correct amount of money. You can do this by logging in to your Reemployment Assistance Account and clicking on the “Manage Benefits” link. From here, you can view your current balance and make sure that your payments are being deposited correctly. Applying for unemployment in Florida can be a complicated process, but with these steps, you can make sure that you are taking all the necessary steps to get the benefits you need. Remember, if you have any questions or need assistance, you can always contact the DEO for help. Good luck! #apply #unemployment #florida

The safety of our customers is a top priority at MMNA and a key component of our "customer first" philosophy — we strongly encourage you to have an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealership complete any outstanding recall on your vehicle as soon as possible. Repair parts are readily available and every effort will be made to minimize your inconvenience, including providing you with a loaner/rental vehicle while the repair is being performed. Click below to check if your Mitsubishi vehicle has any open recalls. Affected Vehicles and Airbag Position(s): 2004 – 2007 Lancer/Lancer Sportback/Lancer Evolution - Passenger side frontal 2006 – 2009 Raider - Driver side frontal and passenger side frontal 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2017 i-MiEV - Passenger side frontal What is the safety concern? The affected vehicles are equipped with a specific type of air bag inflator provided by Takata. The air bag inflator could be susceptible to rupture, potentially causing the affected frontal air bag inflator to deploy abnormally in the event of a crash, and cause severe injury or death. Am I affected by this recall? MMNA has notified all known owners of affected vehicles by First-Class mail. If you did not receive a notice, you can check for this and any current open Safety Recalls or Service Campaigns on your Mitsubishi vehicle by visiting our website at https://www.mitsubishicars.com/owners/service?q=recallinfo. Or visit www.mitsubishicars.com, and then select Owners, Service and then Recall Information. You will need to have the 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) available. Where can I find the VIN? Your VIN can be found affixed atop the dashboard on the driver side of your vehicle, near where the windshield meets the dash. It is also located on the door post on the driver side of the vehicle (where the door latches when closed), and in some cases, affixed to the end of the driver door itself. The VIN can also be found on most vehicle registration or insurance cards. I received this Safety Recall notice in the mail. What should I do? Please contact your local Mitsubishi dealership immediately to schedule an appointment to have the affected air bag inflator replaced and to ensure that they have the necessary part on-hand to complete the recall. The affected air bag inflator will be replaced for FREE. Are parts available? Parts are readily available for all affected vehicles.

Please contact your local Mitsubishi dealership immediately to schedule an appointment to have the airbag inflator replaced for FREE and to ensure that they have the necessary part on-hand to complete the recall. The passenger side frontal air bag is designed to inflate only in certain moderate to severe crashes, and this condition will not cause the air bag to activate when it should not. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow occupants to sit in the front passenger seat until the recall has been completed. What will the dealership do exactly? For 2004 – 2007 Lancer, the dealership will replace the passenger side frontal airbag inflator with a different inflator for FREE. The time needed for the repair is approximately 2 hours.

The time needed for this repair is approximately 30 minutes. The dealer may need your vehicle longer than the estimated repair times, but every effort will be made to minimize your inconvenience, including providing you with a loaner/rental vehicle while the repair is being performed. Do I need to show the Safety Recall notification in order to have the recall performed? You do not need to present any Safety Recall notification to have the Safety Recall remedy performed. All authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealers can electronically confirm your vehicle’s inclusion in the Safety Recall, and perform the repair for FREE. You may want to present a copy of the Safety Recall notification when visiting your Mitsubishi dealership to help ensure faster assistance. What if I’m too far from a Mitsubishi dealer?

If you require further accommodations, please contact Mitsubishi Customer Relations by phone at (888) 648-7820, Monday – Friday, 7AM-4PM, Pacific Time, to discuss alternative options. Are the repairs considered “permanent”?

Please visit https://www.mitsubishicars.com/owners/service?q=recallinfo to check if you need return to a Mitsubishi dealer for a “permanent” repair. What should I do if I already replaced the frontal air bag inflator for this condition and paid for repairs?

Patrick Brightman - 11/20/2020 Looking to optimize your PR campaign? Here are five steps to build an effective brand message and secure editorial placements in targeted media. Public relations, aka PR, serves an invaluable role within a brand’s marketing mix. The nature of PR creates the forum for education, thought leadership, and positioning. That is because PR has the cache of earned media that carries an invaluable third-party endorsement. For companies to get the greatest return on investment (ROI), PR campaigns need to be optimized. By that, I mean securing desired editorial placements – in terms of tone, type, and outlet – that will raise and improve the perception of a brand within its target audiences. Looking for methods to maximize your public relations campaign? Read on. Craft Compelling Messages How do you want prospects, customers, employees, and surrounding communities to think of you? Are you an innovative technology company with a proprietary IP? Do you use only organic ingredients and/or have non-GMO CPG brands? Do have a social conscious that leads you to support, volunteer, and establish worthy causes? Will you put the customer first by offering guarantees and unprecedented customer service? Finding the answers to these questions helps develop a company’s unique selling proposition (USP). This cannot be done in a vacuum, however. Understanding what makes you different than competitors and conveying those benefits is how to truly develop a brand DNA. A seasoned PR team can ask the proper questions and conduct the necessary research – both internal and competitive – to make that determination. With that knowledge, PR pros can develop the proper brand messaging. Typically, it will be short, concise, and have no more than three key takeaways. This approach will ensure that the messages resonate with the target audiences so they retain the brand essence. Proper tone and vernacular must be used, so your benefits do not fall on deaf ears. Media Train Spokespeople Once you have crafted compelling messages, your spokespeople must effectively convey them in any situation. That’s where media training comes into play. Even the most articulate orator can use some pointers on how to seamlessly weave those key takeaways into an answer to nearly any question. A comprehensive media training program does more than instruct spokespeople how to respond to questions most effectively. Video recording mock interviews can help determine improvements that can be made in appearance, such as hand or leg movements that may distract a viewer and posture. They will also highlight nuances in speech, language, and inflection that may need to be enhanced. Improvements in these areas can also be used in public speaking settings to ensure brand integrity in any scenario. Know Your Target Media All placements are not created equal, especially in today’s media. Editorial coverage in outlets that are frequented by your target audience are immensely more valuable than those that appear in other broadcast, print, and digital media. To that end, an effective PR campaign includes a thorough evaluation to determine the outlets that will bring the most “bang for the buck.” Impressive numbers related to circulation, website visitors, listeners, and viewers are not most important. Determine the outlets that carry the most weight with your target audience. For example, placements in websites, broadcast stations, and in print that are trusted and frequented by your target audience have much greater value than those that have large overall audiences. Another criterion is the type of stories being posted, published, and broadcast. Understanding the editorial mission of the outlet will help craft a message that will secure placements. The same pitch cannot be used for all media. Public relations teams will have a proverbial finger on the pulse of the reporters they are contacting, which will result in more effective coverage. There is another factor that must be considered, as well. Securing placements with backlinks on websites with high Domain Authority (DA) will benefit the search engine ranking of a company’s website. Taking this approach will support a brand’s search engine optimization (SEO) efforts and help improve organic rankings on targeted search engine results pages (SERPs). Collaborate with Editors It takes more than determining the proper outlets, though, to have a successful PR campaign. Public relations is not a one-way street. Understanding the needs of the reporters, producers, editors, et al is invaluable. Time must be spent upfront researching the topics and beats they cover and how it fits in with your story. Media relations teams need to pitch the right person. Having existing relationships with media professionals helps immensely determine the editor who will be most receptive, especially in the current climate. Those contacts are built over time and are the result of consistently delivering the materials a reporter or producer need by their stated deadline. Taking such a collaborative approach is what pays the most dividends (i.e. placements). Savvy media relations pros view a pitch and press release as a conversation starter, not something that necessarily must deliver an immediate placement. By talking – and listening – to reporters, opportunities will continue to come. Adapt to Media Because you listen and collaborate, you will need to be flexible. A pitch and story idea might be solid but the timing may not be right for an editor. Successful PR teams sometimes put their story ideas on the back burner and discover what the editor needs currently. Determining how to meet that immediate media request will lead to a successful campaign. Plus, it will help nurture the relationship, so when you revisit that original pitch, the chance of the editor being receptive increases. By listening and collaborating, you can adjust your program accordingly and secure the long-sought placements in the desired outlets. Because the proper messaging has been developed and the spokesperson can weave it into the opportunity, the placement becomes all that more powerful. If you are looking to optimize your PR campaign, let’s talk. We can help you achieve your goals. Send me an email or call me at 973.224.9224.

Things are a lot worse post COVID than beforehand. Jan and I are even more delighted that Picture Book, the Leek Bookshop, has agreed to be a stockist for “Part of the Family” by Jan Garsden. Jan is doing a delivery today ready for publication tomorrow. It is only £8.99, professionally edited by Austin MaCauley, makes you laugh, cry, and angry in equal measure. It has this effect upon me after at least 20 reads, so it would make an ideal stocking filler for you at Christmas time. You can read an excerpt from the first chapter “Tommy” online to test out my sales boast.

Extending Mathew Barzal Mathew Barzal broke onto the scene as the Calder Trophy winner the year before Lamoriello arrived on Long Island. Under Trotz, Barzal was asked to adjust and play a stronger, more consistent two-way responsible game within the confines of the Isles system. Barzal became a more well-rounded player and experienced team success as the Isles won six playoff series in a three-year span. However, his offensive took a hit for it, and fans wondered whether Barzal would ultimately want to choose another city and another style of play when he became an unrestricted free agent. After a frustrating 2021-22 season, Barzal had one year remaining on the three-year bridge contract. Signing him to a long-term contract was a focus for Lamoriello, and he didn't allow his potential extension to become a storyline during the season as he inked Barzal to an eight-year contract extension with an AAV of $9.15M a year. "We expect a lot out of him. He expects a lot out of himself,” said Lamoriello of Barzal ahead of signing him to the extension. “And he’s worked very hard during the summer for that. You know, he’s without question one of our leaders, you know, without question, probably our most talented player, and he’s committed without question." Lamoriello is banking on Barzal to continue to evolve and mature as a player worthy of the long-term commitment given to him. It's a move he had to make and one we'll watch play out for years to come.
While I was in London I had a fascinating talk with Dame Judi Dench and an Irish lady named Philomena Lee whom the actress portrays in the movie Philomena. Photographers gathered as the two elderly ladies sat together on a couch at the May Fair Hotel, sipping coffee, chatting, laughing and occasionally holding hands. Anyone seeing them would assume they were old friends with so much to talk about. “It certainly feels as if we’re old friends,” says Dame Judi Dench, clutching the older woman’s hand. “This is an extraordinary woman and I’m privileged to know her.” Philomena Lee smiles shyly as a photographer takes a picture of them both. “I never expected or wanted all this but I’ve always said that everything happens for a reason,” she says in a strong Irish brogue. At the age of 78 Philomena is gradually becoming accustomed to being the centre of attention, a situation which will grow to new heights when Philomena, the movie named after her, opens soon. Judi Dench is being tipped for Oscar recognition for her role in the heartbreaking but often humourous story of Philomena’s 50-year search for the son who was taken from her by nuns at an Irish convent and sold for adoption to a wealthy American family. “To have Judi Dench playing you—what more could a woman ask for?” says Philomena. “She’s a treasure, an absolute treasure and a perfect lady. We got to know one another before she started the film because she said she’d never played anyone who is still alive and she had to get to know me. We are kind of the same age group and she put me totally at my ease. Such a lovely, gentle lady.” Philomena, Dame Judi and Steve Coogan, who optioned the rights to the story and co-stars as journalist Martin Sixsmith, who embarks with Philomena on the search for her son, were talking over a breakfast reunion at the hotel. The two stars confess to having been emotionally moved by Philomena’s long and determined search for the son who was snatched from her when he was three years old. Unbeknownst to Philomena, her son spent decades looking for her, too, but because of the nuns’ refusal to divulge any information to either of them, they never met. But with the help of Sixsmith, Philomena eventually discovered the surprising details of her son’s high-flying life as a White House lawyer and aide to George Bush Snr. She learned that he was gay and had died of AIDS and that his partner, fulfilling his dying wish, took his ashes to Ireland and they were buried in the grounds of the convent where Philomena gave birth “The awful part I get so upset about is that he died thinking I had abandoned him at birth, but there was nothing else I could do but let him go,” said Philomena. “I had nobody to help me and I asked the nuns several times to help find me a job in Ireland so I could take him with me but they said he had to be adopted into a good home. “I remember how much I cried when he was taken away from me and I still think of him every day. But I’m not angry. I didn’t tell anyone for so many years but I’m glad I did and eventually found out all about him, even though it took most of my life to do so. Imagine little old me having a son who was in the White House!” Philomena’s dogged determination, inner fortitude and her capacity for forgiveness have made a big impression on Dame Judi and Steve “There are very, very few people of Philomena’s magnitude and strength who are able to turn around at the end of the journey and forgive the nuns for what they did,” says Dame Judi fondly. “She didn’t want to be angry and I know I couldn’t live with that and be able to do that.” Coogan, who is half-Irish and describes himself as “a lapsed Catholic” is full of admiration for Philomena’s ability to laugh and see the funny side of things. “Lots of people are angry and saddened when they hear what she went through but what intrigued me was how she could laugh at having gone through such a dark, sad, tragic experience,” he says. “I felt a connection and familiarity with her because I know lots of elderly Irish ladies like Philomena and I grew up around them.” Philomena’s remarkable story began when she entered convent school in Ireland at the age of six after her mother died. She left when she was 18, knowing little or nothing of the world and met a boy who bought her a toffee apple on a warm evening at the county fair. “I didn’t know a thing about the facts of life and I didn’t know where babies came from…” she said. When her pregnancy became obvious, her family disowned her and had her “put away” with the nuns at Roscrea convent in County Tipperary, one of thousands of Irish women taken from their homes and sent to convents in the 1950s and 60s because the Catholic church said single mothers were moral degenerates who could not be allowed to keep their After her baby, Anthony, was born, the Mother Superior threatened Philomena with damnation if ever she breathed a word about her “guilty secret”. Terrified, she kept it quiet for more than half a century. “It was such a sin,” she said. “It was an awful thing to have a baby out of wedlock. It was so ingrained deep down in my heart that I mustn’t tell anybody.” She was put to work in the convent laundry and while caring for Anthony she was made to sign a terrible document agreeing to give up her son and relinquishing all claims to him. “I begged them to please let me keep him but they told me I had to sign the papers,” she says. Anthony was taken from her at Christmas 1955 when he was three years old. She wasn’t allowed to say goodbye to him but she saw him being bundled into the back of a big black car and driven away. “I cried and cried,” she says. “I was heartbroken. I missed him so much. I’d raised him for three and a half years. I was bitter and I lost my religion because of my heartbreak. I didn’t know how they could have done it.” She was sent to work in one of the convent’s homes for delinquent boys in Liverpool, got married in 1959 and had two more children. For 30 years she worked as a nurse, mainly with psychiatric patients. “Over the years I stopped going to confession and communion but I always prayed for everybody, even the nuns,” she says. “Within my heart I never really lost my faith. I began to mellow because the patients had so many problems worse than I had so I went back to my religion and there I have stayed.” Saying nothing to anybody she returned to the convent several times in desperate attempts to trace her son but the nuns refused to help her, merely showing her the document she had signed giving up all rights to him. Then, just before Christmas 2004, tipsy on sherry, she blurted out to her daughter the secret she had kept for 50 years. The daughter told a friend who contacted Martin Sixsmith, who had worked for the BBC as a foreign correspondent and had recently lost his job as a government communications officer. Intrigued by the story, Sixsmith set out to help Philomena in her search, following a trail which led to America and to the inner sanctum of the White House. The hunt took him through U.S.newspaper obituary columns, state and church archives, adoption agencies, American university records and Republican party sources before it led to the end of the trail and the story’s poignant, unexpected Sixsmith wrote a book about Philomena and her search; Coogan happened to see a newspaper article about it and optioned the rights to the book without reading it. He went to Judi Dench’s home, told her the story and she instantly agreed to portray Philomena. “I was slightly daunted about sharing the screen with her because she’s so incredibly charismatic and iconic but she made me feel very comfortable,” says Coogan. “We laughed and joked and talked in between takes and I felt I was spending the day with a little old Irish lady. It was only at the end of the day when she was transformed back into Judi Dench that I suddenly became intimidated again.” Philomena, who now lives in St. Albans, originally wanted the book and film to use a different name to keep her identity hidden but now she is happy that everything is out in the open and she has no more secrets to keep. “I talk to Anthony every day and I have done all my life,” she said. “I prayed and prayed that one day I would find him and I know that somewhere up there he has found me. His partner gave me his Celtic ring which I wear all the time and every time I look at it I can say a little prayer for him. “I’m a great believer that every single thing happens for a reason. We can’t see it but our life has been marked out for us from the day we are born until the day we die. “There was a reason for everything that has happened.”

Typically, putting 12,000 to 15,000 miles on your car per year is viewed as “average.” A car that is driven more than that is considered high-mileage. With proper maintenance, cars can have a life expectancy of about 200,000 miles. But whether you reach that in two years or 10 years, it doesn’t have to mean the end of your vehicle’s life. In fact, a high-mileage car could point to better standards and technology in the automotive industry. Drivers feel more confident about driving their cars longer because automakers are building more durable vehicles. In the 1960s and 1970s, vehicle odometers would only display 99,999 miles before “rolling over” to zeros once again. Now, many vehicle owners can view far past 100,000 miles and continue cruising. Should I buy a car with high mileage? If the car is a newer model with higher mileage, you might be better off. A newer car, regardless of the mileage, typically has more up-to-date technology and safety features. (Side note: That’s why new car buyers choose to have this small add-on to their auto insurance policy.) There are benefits to both sides. While cars with low-mileage often have less wear and tear, a high-mileage car shows that it’s still running smoothly despite how much it’s been on the road. When you’re car shopping, remember that there’s more to a vehicle than just its miles. Ultimately, you want a car that best fits your lifestyle – which isn’t determined by only reading the odometer. What problems can come from high-mileage vehicles? Your best resource for car maintenance information is a trusted mechanic. However, a little common knowledge about routine wear-and-tear can help you feel more confident on the road. Trusted organizations like Consumer Reports and the Car Care Council are great sources of information to help you make smart decisions about car maintenance. Here’s a quick roundup of when car care pros say you should expect to replace some of the most essential car components: Automatic transmission repairs are rare and most are simply replaced, costing thousands of dollars. Transmission failure is more likely to occur once a vehicle eclipses the 100,000-mile mark. However, lack of proper maintenance can cause a transmission to fail sooner. Battery lifespan is generally around four years, regardless of the miles you’ve put on your vehicle. Brake pads are easily heard when it’s time for new ones. But, miles cannot exactly predict when that loud screech will sound. How often you drive and the way you drive play into the wear and tear of your brake pads. Braking hard and frequently driving in stop-and-go traffic will wear out your brake pads more quickly. Have your mechanic check your brakes during each maintenance check to help catch those worn-out pads before any damage is done to your rotors or bearings. Tires can wear out based on your driving habits, road conditions, the type of tire and even the type of car. Most tires come with a treadwear grade and warranty that estimates the average miles a tire can last – but the way you drive can impact that number, too.Try this quick trick to check your treads: Insert a penny, President Lincoln’s head first, into the groove of the tread. If you can see any part of his head, it’s time for new tires. For safety and performance, your best bet is to buy brand-new ones. Used tires can be a safety hazard due to their compromised condition. Fuel pump failure typically occurs if you often drive on a low tank, which can cause damage to the pump. Otherwise, your fuel pump typically will last the life of your car. Changing your fuel filter every 50,000 miles can help preserve it. Water pump failure can occur between 60,000 and 90,000 miles. If it starts to deteriorate, it will leak coolant, which can expose your engine to the risk of overheating. Most mechanics will replace the timing belt and the water pump simultaneously. Timing belts don’t give warning before they break, but can cause damage to your engine if they do. As a preventative process, mechanics often suggest replacing the belt anywhere between 60,000 and 100,000 miles. Oil changes should be part of your regular maintenance routine. But once a car reaches 75,000 miles, the engine often begins to loosen and cause oil leaks and engine rattling. Switching to high-mileage oil can help “tighten up” the engine. How to make a high mileage car last If you don’t have the money to buy a new car – or you genuinely love the car you already have – then you’re probably interested in keeping your current vehicle as long as possible. Be prepared for the road ahead with these tips: Fix any problems immediately. Don’t ignore that check engine light or any other issue that arises with your high-mileage car. Problems don’t just go away – in fact, they usually get worse. As soon as you feel, see, or hear something unusual, take your car to your mechanic to have it serviced immediately. Choose high-quality replacement parts. When it comes to auto parts, you generally get what you pay for. If you want to keep your car on the road, make sure that any worn-out parts are replaced with high-quality options. Follow your owner’s maintenance manual. This means getting your oil changed on time, checking your tire pressure, rotating tires and maintaining your fluids. Ignoring regular maintenance during your car’s early life will lead to larger problems down the road. Keep it clean. Aside from scrubbing away bugs and grime, cleaning your car can help prevent corrosion both on and under your vehicle. If you drive in the snow, you should know the damage road salt can do to your car – it might surprise you! Drive gently. The better you treat your high-mileage car, the longer it will last. Don’t slam on the brakes or the gas; make gradual turns; and avoid potholes or other rough road conditions that can put stress on your vehicle. Get the right auto insurance. We believe your auto insurance should go the distance – just like your trusted ride.

If you are taking classes at one of the area universities and need to study, but you are looking for a change of scenery, the Smithsonian Institution offers some quiet, study nooks. Kogod Courtyard: In the Donald W. Reynolds Center, which houses the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Kogod Courtyard is a 28,000-square-foot space with seating, free Wi-Fi and a Courtyard Café. Designed by Foster + Partners, a world famous architectural firm, the courtyard is covered by a wavy, 900-pound, glass and steel canopy. I suggest staking out a study spot here if you are sick of your stuffy library, dorm room or office, because with loads of natural light, ficus, black olive trees and water scrims by landscape architects Kathryn Gustafson and Rodrigo Abela, it at least gives you the sense that you are outdoors. Lerner Room: Maybe natural light is something I crave working in a cubicle, but another bright space is the Lerner Room, on the third floor of the Hirshhorn Museum. The room, on the north side of the ring-shaped museum, has a panoramic expanse of floor-to-ceiling windows that offers visitors a great view of the National Mall. A curved couch positioned in front of the window makes it a perfect place to curl up with a book, and there are also large tables, which make it a great work space. Enormous Sol LeWitt drawings, one in color and the other in black and white, on the room’s other two walls also give it a cheery atmosphere. Mitsitam Cafe: The native foods from the Western Hemisphere’s Northern Woodlands, South America, the Northwest Coast, Meso America and Great Plains cooked up at the National Museum of the American Indian’s highly-rated Mitsitam Cafe certainly draw crowds. But if you don’t mind the clamor of diners, or you actually work better with some background noise, then the cafe, with lots of seating and Wi-Fi, can be a nice place to study. Bonus: the traditional frybread makes for a sweet snack. Enid A. Haupt Garden: Sick of the quad, but in need of some fresh air? Visit a Smithsonian garden. There are several along the stretch between the Hirshhorn and the Freer Gallery on the south side of the National Mall. My favorite is the immaculately-kept, four-acre Enid A. Haupt Garden just behind the Smithsonian Castle—and just above an underground complex that includes the National Museum of African Art, Arthur M. Sackler Gallery and the S. Dillon Ripley Center. Bring a blanket to spread under a large shade tree, and your laptop. There is free Wi-Fi. On a hot day, you can always retreat to the Castle Café. Luce Foundation Center: This space on the third and fourth floors of the Smithsonian American Art Museum is a library of a different sort. The museum keeps more than 3,300 pieces of art from its permanent collection in large glass cases, and coins and jewelry in layers of drawers. If you take up post at one of the tables in the center, perhaps you want to time it with an Art + Coffee event that includes a brief talk or tour of the center with coffee and tea. Occasionally and usually on Wednesdays through Sundays, at 1:30 p.m., the center hosts a tour and talk, with complimentary coffee or tea, followed by an acoustic concert by a local musician. Update 9/23/2011: This post now includes additional information about the Kogod Courtyard.
A physiotherapist, speechie and OT have provided us with some fantastic activity ideas to keep our kids skills up if they’re taking a break from therapy and school over the summer. All the ideas are such good fun your child won’t even realise they’re working! SPEECH AND LANGUAGE, BY KYLIE MARTIN FIND A PEN PAL Writing on the holidays can seem like a chore but for many kids who have difficulty with reading, writing and spelling, consistency is key. Six weeks is a long time to neglect the skills of thinking, sounding out, writing and reviewing and sometimes our kiddies feel like they are starting all over again when they get back to school. Why not exchange addresses with the families you meet in the caravan park, unit complex pool or holiday club and keep those literacy skills going in a fun and friendly way. MAKE AND DO Staying with literacy….. why not Google a “How to” project. You can practice reading the instructions, then when you know what you need to buy have your child write a shopping list. A younger child could find all the items in the junk mail catalogues. Why not set up your own shop and roleplay. You get to practice greetings and farewell, social communication skills, requesting and listening skills and money skills. Once you have completed the project, set up the phone/tablet/other electronic device and record your child retelling how they did it. This is great for memory, expressive language skills, sequencing and story-telling. SECRET SOUND SANTA What about writing a letter on each door of an Advent calendar and make that your letter of the day. This activity is great for kids with speech sound errors, phonological delays and auditory processing difficulties. Each day, talk about the sound the letter of the day makes. What are the features of the sound? Is it loud or soft? Long or short? Think about which part of our mouth do we use to make to sound. The letter M makes this sound mmmmm. It is a loud sound, a long sound. You use both of your lips to make the sound and the sound comes out of your nose. You could colour the parts of the mouth used to make the sound on a picture of Santa or Rudolf or even Frosty the Snowman. Throughout the day, try to spot items that start with that sound. You can keep points and give double points for any words that are related to Christmas. (Mary, Mistletoe and Moet would all score 2 points!) AAC WITH ME If your child is getting a special something for Christmas, why not set their talker up with related vocabulary the night before so that they can talk about their toys straight away. Think about what they would say, what they would ask, how they would express their joy if they could and make it so they can. Spend some time playing, using the device and modelling the new language skills and opportunities. You could also put some of the special gifts their siblings are receiving on as well to facilitate the natural celebration and conversation that we all enjoy on Christmas morning. So many people will ask your child what they did in the holidays; where they went and what they got for Christmas. Teachers will ask, therapists will ask, relatives will ask, other kids will ask and there’s nothing worse for the child than not being able to think of something on the spot. Grab your camera (better yet, give it to your child) and take a photo of each meaningful event and activity that you do. Print them out, stick them in a book and write a short thought about each thing. You can review the book at the end of each day to build memory and language skills. Try working through the wh questions (Where is it, who was there, when did we go, what did we do, why did/didn’t you like it?). Then jump online and print out a copy of Blanks levels of questions and use them to talk about the day’s activities. Practice answering all those “holiday” questions together and maybe even build a little script for your child to use. You could look at the book in the car before going into school or a therapy session so that the ideas are fresh in your child’s mind or you could take the book in with you and your child can use it as a conversation prompt.

Children can build the strength and coordination of the muscles in their hands and fingers through snipping with scissors, tearing tissue paper, painting, sprinkling glitter, using stamps, threading beads and peeling stickers. Activities that encourage use of the thumb, index and middle finger together are particularly beneficial, as we tend to use these fingers for a functional pencil grasp. The school holidays provide the perfect opportunity for Christmas crafts. Why not try making a Christmas card or ornament for the Christmas tree? Writing a letter to Santa is another fun way to practise handwriting or typing skills over the holidays. Asking your child to practice their handwriting over the holidays may seem like a daunting task. However, adding a functional reason for writing can be an effective way to boost your child’s motivation to practice. Writing the steps to a science experiment can add some fun into handwriting practice. Ideas for quick and easy experiments to google are baking soda and vinegar volcanos, slime recipes, DIY lava lamps, invisible messages and a balloon hovercraft. Before you start your project it can be helpful to consider what you would like your child to work on during their writing practice. For instance, is the main goal to work on the formation of letters, the spaces between words, writing along the lines or spelling. Having one main goal and providing a model of the writing can be a helpful strategy. Getting kids involved in the kitchen is another activity that can help your child to work on a range of skills. Skills that can be practiced through cooking include: - – Typing or writing out the recipe. Choosing a recipe to type or write provides a functional and fun reason to practice typing and/or writing skills. - – Rolling dough, chopping, sprinkling and using tongs all require your child to use their fine motor skills. - – Counting, measuring ingredients and setting timers are all functional skills your child can practice in the kitchen. The Kiddie Food Kutter is a helpful tool to use for kids in the kitchen. The knife can cut through fruit and vegetables using a sawing motion, but is safe for children to use (kiddiesfoodkutter.com.au). MAKE YOUR OWN MOVIES Helping your child to be the director/actor in their own movie can be a great way to practice different social skills. Studies have shown that video modelling is an effective strategy to support children to learn a range of skills. Try using dress-ups or your child’s favourite toys in the movie. It can be helpful to think about the specific skill your child is working on (e.g. whole-body listening, taking turns, keeping personal space). Writing a script that demonstrates that skill prior to pressing record can be useful in keeping the movie on topic. The iModeling app is a useful tool for creating and editing your movies (search iModeling on the App store).. Sensory trays enable your child to gain sensory input whilst working on a variety of skills. It can be helpful to think about the textures your child prefers and use these textures to fill your sensory tray. You can encourage your child to interact with new textures through using different household items (e.g. paintbrush, spoon, measuring cup). A couple of ideas for sensory trays are: Fill your tray with shaving cream to trace shapes, faces and write numbers and letters. Having a paintbrush on hand can be helpful if your child is wary of the shaving cream texture. Using a rice tray is another entertaining way to work on fine motor skills. Scoop and pour rice into containers and colanders. Try a treasure hunt by hiding different figurines in the rice. You can use tongs or spoons to find the figurines. To add to the sensory experience, try making rainbow rice using vinegar and food colouring. PHYSIOTHERAPY BY EMILY HAYLES SWIMMING OR OTHER MOVEMENTS AND PLAY IN THE WATER Moving or playing in the water is a great and fun activity for children with movement difficulties and has numerous benefits: - It takes some of their body weight – this means that your child should be able to do things in the water that they cannot do on land, such as walking, jumping, going up and down steps, or running. - It provides resistance to movements, which can help to strengthen your child’s muscles – you can strengthen their arms by asking your child to push or pull their arms or floating toys through the water, and you can strengthen their legs by getting them to walk or run through the water, or kick their legs (and you can add flippers for even more resistance!) - It can help to relax tight muscles – the pressure and warmth of water, as well as the ability to move more freely in water can help your child to relax tight or stiff muscles. - It can help them to practice their balance skills – the water around their body provides additional support enabling your child to hold themselves upright and balance for longer. This means that your child might be able to do things they find difficult on land, such as standing on one leg. In addition, the movement of the water around them can challenge their balance – swish some water around them and see if they can hold themselves upright. WALKING AT THE BEACH If you have ever gone for a walk or a run at the beach, you will understand how much harder it is than walking around your usual neighbourhood! Sand is unstable under your feet, which requires more strength, balance and coordination to walk (or crawl) on. Walking on soft sand is much harder than walking on hard sand. So if your child is finding it difficult to walk on soft sand, move them closer to the water’s edge to help them to succeed. And remember, it’s not just walking on sand that is harder so, why not give some bear walks, crab walks, crawling or jumping on sand a try – the options are endless! Water slides – whether they be the big water park or the at home DIY variety – can be great for your child’s physical development. Climbing up the many steps to get to the top of the water slide will help to strengthen your child’s legs, practice going up stairs (if this is something they find difficult), as well as give them (and you!) a good cardiovascular workout! Then sliding down the slide will give them some great vestibular input as they slide forwards and turn the corners. Finally, at the bottom, when they land in the water, your child will have to right themselves again to get up and out of the water, challenging their balance and transitions from sitting to standing. If you don’t have a local water park you can go to, you can try these options at home: - Water running down the slippery slide (make sure your child is supervised going up the ladder as it will be wet and therefore be more slippery than usual!) - Set up a ‘slip-n-slide’ with some plastic or tarp down a hill. Walking up the hill after every slide down will be great for your child’s leg strength! DECORATING THE CHRISTMAS TREE Decorating the Christmas tree – particularly the baubles and hanging decorations – can give your child an amazing opportunity to practice bending down or squatting down to the floor, standing up from a squatting position, and also reaching above their head. When you get all the decorations out, put them all on the floor. This will encourage your child to squat down to pick them up before then putting them onto the tree. If your child has trouble squatting or reaching all the way down to the floor, then you can put them onto a low foot stool. Then, when putting the decorations on the tree, encourage your child to reach their arm up high to get to the higher branches. This is a great way to practice reaching high into the air, or alternatively encouraging them to rise onto their toes. And if your child is little and they start pulling the decorations off again – rather than getting annoyed, you can now think of this as another opportunity to practice squatting, standing and reaching.

Your instinct during a crisis, like a wildfire or a pandemic, might be to donate goods, like blankets, canned food or toothbrushes. Another reason cash is better is because donated goods require a lot of staff and volunteers to manage. Why Should You Not Donate Cans Which Are In Bad Condition Cans in the case of canned food consist of a hermetic seal and a protective lining. This ensures that the products remain preserved for a longer duration. It prevents external microorganisms from entering the cans. The packaging is done in a way so that the food does not come in contact with the metal of the can. However, when a can is swollen, rusted, or dented, it is likely that the food is not edible. If the outside can have dents, it is probable that the impact which caused the dent may have destroyed the interior lining as well. The rusting can appear when the contents of the can have come in contact with the can. This could have caused the metal to react with the canned food, and rust may appear on its surface. The reaction can also cause the can to bulge and become swollen. The growth of bacteria can also be a possible reason for the can to bulge due to the release of certain gases. The release of gases will cause internal pressure, which may cause the can to get swollen, or it will start leaking. The leak can also be caused due to a dent or any other reason. However, when a can is leaking, it means that it is no longer in an airtight seal. The contents may react with the environment and could result in bacteria growth. Also, external microorganisms may get inside the can. Hence, it is not safe to donate canned food that is dented, rusted, swollen, or leaking. The condition of the can is consequential even when the canned product is well within its expiration date.

Dont Miss: Volunteer St Marys Food Bank Outdated Foods Can Be Donated The whole picture of wasted food begins with all the resources that went into producing that food through the stores and then the consumers and ending with the methane gas produced from that same food rotting in landfills.

Getting foods that someone isnt using into the hands of those who need it is another way that folks can help. Donating outdated foods to food banks, whether on a small or a large scale, helps to chip away at the huge food waste problem. We all know that donating to a food bank is a good thing.

She added ministers must reinstate the £20 per week to universal credit and working tax credits.

IFAN is working with dozens of local authorities to implement a cash-first approach to ending demand for food aid, signposting people struggling to afford food to sources of financial support. This means distributing leaflets to guests as well as campaigning for jobs to pay the real living wage, and for food poverty to be tackled through increased incomes on a national scale.

To solve this we created a ray tracing auralization framework called Floyd. Floyd takes a 3D model of a room and patients’ head recordings to simulate millions of echoes. For each room we generate two versions of it, one where it’s loud and noisy and one where it’s not. Then we train our model to map the noisy one to the quiet one. We simulate tens of thousands of sound reflections per echo to make sure they’re indistinguishable from real world echoes. By leveraging dozens of GPUs across the Amazon cloud we can do this at scale. We looked for existing hardware options to support our breakthrough software. We found limiting trade-offs – wearability, battery life, and so on. We’ve decided to build it ourselves.

Scoring is a fundamental aspect of baseball that determines the outcome of a game and measures the success of teams and individual players. How scoring works in baseball is essential for fans and players alike. In this comprehensive blog post, we delve into the intricacies of baseball scoring, exploring the role of innings, essential scoring facts, the components displayed on a baseball scoreboard, and the historical development of the scoring system. Let’s unlock the secrets behind the numbers that shape America’s favorite pastime. So, stay calm and focused. How Does Scoring Work In Baseball? Scoring in baseball is a symphony of runs, rewarded when a player rounds the bases and reaches home plate. Hits, errors, and RBIs (Runs Batted In) compose the melodic notes of the score. Innings, dividing the game into nine harmonious parts, set the rhythm for the contest. A baseball scoreboard harmonizes the score, outs, inning, and count, orchestrating the flow of information. The scoring system has evolved, fine-tuning its notations and harmonizing with technological advancements. Baseball scoring allows fans to immerse themselves in the sonorous intricacies that shape the game, transforming it into a symphony of statistical splendor. Role of Innings in Baseball Scoring Innings serve as the building blocks of baseball scoring, dividing the game into nine parts for each team. The concept of innings is crucial for comprehending how scoring works in baseball and determining the ultimate winner of the game. Each inning consists of two halves: the top half, where the visiting team bats, and the bottom half, where the home team bats. The Structure of Innings In a regulation baseball game, both teams have an opportunity to bat in each inning. The visiting team takes their turn to bat in the top half of the inning, attempting to score runs against the opposing team’s defense. Once the visiting team records three outs, the teams switch positions, and the home team assumes the offensive role in the bottom half of the inning. This process repeats for the full nine innings, except in the case of a tie game or extra innings, which extend the game until a winner is determined. Determining the Winner At the conclusion of the game, the team with the most runs is declared the winner. Runs represent the primary unit of scoring in baseball, earned when a player successfully crosses home plate after advancing through the bases. Each team’s total runs scored throughout the game determine the outcome, emphasizing the importance of effective offense and defense throughout the nine innings. Essential Facts That Matter in Scoring While runs are the primary factor in determining the winner, several other key elements contribute to baseball scoring. These essential facts are essential for tracking and analyzing the game’s progression. Hits occur when a batter safely reaches base after hitting a pitched ball and is a crucial statistic in scoring. Hits can be classified as singles, doubles, triples, or home runs, depending on how far the batter advances on the hit. The number of hits a team accumulates can directly impact their ability to score runs. Errors are defensive mistakes made by fielders that allow the batter or baserunners to reach base or advance. Errors can occur during fielding, throwing, or catching the ball, and they provide opportunities for the opposing team to extend their offensive inning or score runs. Errors can significantly influence the outcome of a game and are recorded as part of the scoring statistics. RBIs (Runs Batted In) RBIs are credited to a batter when their hit or out results in a run being scored. For example, if a batter hits a single and a teammate scores from a previous base, the batter is credited with an RBI. RBIs showcase a player’s ability to contribute to the team’s scoring efforts and are an important metric in evaluating offensive performance. The significance of runs, hits, errors, and RBIs provides a comprehensive view of how scoring is determined in baseball. These essential factors collectively shape the outcome of a game, highlighting the interplay between offensive and defensive strategies and individual player performances. What Is Shown on a Baseball Scoreboard? A baseball scoreboard serves as a central hub of information for fans attending or watching a game. It displays essential details that allow spectators to stay engaged and informed throughout the game. Here are the key elements typically shown on a baseball scoreboard: The scoreboard prominently shows the score of the game, indicating the number of runs each team has scored. The score is updated after each run is scored, providing fans with a real-time representation of the game’s progress. The number of outs is another critical piece of information displayed on the scoreboard. It informs fans about how many batters the defensive team has retired. Typically, three outs are required to end an inning and switch sides. The scoreboard indicates the current inning of the game. This helps fans keep track of the game’s progression and understand which team is currently at bat or in the field. The count represents the number of balls and strikes for the current batter. It is usually displayed in a numerical format, such as “Balls-Strikes.” This information is crucial as it gives fans an idea of the current situation and can provide insight into the strategic decisions made by both the pitcher and the batter. Scoreboards often feature other statistics to enhance the fan experience. These may include the number of hits, errors, and sometimes even more specific data like batting averages, on-base percentages, and pitchers’ earned run averages (ERAs). These statistics provide deeper insights into the game and player performance. The History of the Baseball Scoring System The baseball scoring system has evolved alongside the game itself, reflecting changes in scoring conventions and technological advancements. In the early days of baseball, scoring methods were relatively basic, utilizing simple symbols and shorthand to track the flow of the game. However, as the sport developed, standardized scoring systems emerged, allowing for more comprehensive and consistent notation. Early Scoring Methods In the early years of baseball, scoring was primarily done by hand using symbols and abbreviations in scorebooks. These scoring systems varied, and individual scorekeepers often developed their own shorthand notations. However, the basic objective was to record the essential elements of the game, such as runs, outs, and player movements. Standardized Scoring Systems As baseball gained popularity and became more organized, standardized scoring systems began to emerge. The Chadwick Scoring System, developed by Henry Chadwick in the late 19th century, revolutionized scoring methods. This system introduced standardized symbols and notations for various game situations, making it easier for scorekeepers and fans to follow the game’s progress. With the advent of technology, the way baseball is scored and displayed has undergone significant transformations. Electronic scoreboards replaced manual ones, providing faster and more accurate updates on the score, outs, and other statistics. Computerized scoring systems and digital displays allow for more sophisticated tracking of player and team performance, offering detailed statistics and instant updates. The combination of standardized scoring systems and technological advancements has greatly enhanced the accuracy and accessibility of baseball scoring, enabling fans to have a richer understanding of the game’s intricacies. What is the difference between a run and an RBI in baseball? A run is awarded when a player crosses home plate, while an RBI (Run Batted In) is credited to a batter when their hit or out results in a run being scored. RBIs represent a batter’s contribution to their team’s scoring. How are errors scored in baseball? When a fielder makes a mistake that allows the batter or baserunners to reach base or advance, it is recorded as an error. The fielder responsible for the error is charged with the mistake, and the batter’s at-bat is considered as reaching base on an error. Can a player score a run without hitting the ball? Yes, a player can score a run without hitting the ball. Baserunners can advance to subsequent bases through stolen bases, wild pitches, passed balls, and walks, among other methods. If they successfully reach home plate, they score a run. How are pitching statistics calculated for individual pitchers? Pitching statistics, such as earned run average (ERA), strikeouts, and wins or losses, are calculated based on the performance of individual pitchers. These statistics reflect their effectiveness, control, and overall performance on the mound. How do tie games and extra innings affect scoring? In the event of a tie game at the end of nine innings, extra innings are played until a team achieves a higher score. Scoring in extra innings follows the same principles as the regular nine innings, with each team having the opportunity to score runs and secure the win. So, how scoring works in baseball is crucial for both casual viewers and die-hard fans of the game. From runs and RBIs to errors and hits, the scoring system captures the essence of each play and determines the final outcome. By unraveling the intricacies of baseball scoring, we gain a deeper appreciation for the statistical elements that make the sport so captivating. So, next time you’re at a baseball game or following it from home, keep an eye on the scoreboard and witness the numbers come to life, telling the story of America’s beloved game. Best of luck.

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of Moco, or to any products or services sold or distributed by Moco will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Conditions of Use as a court would. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim addressed as follows: JNJ Mobile, Inc., c/o United Corporate Services, Inc., 874 Walker Road, Ste C, Dover, DE 10094. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, Inc. under its rules, including (if applicable) the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The JAMS's rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS's rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, Moco will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE IF YOU TELL US WITHIN 30 DAYS OF YOUR FIRST DOWNLOAD OR USE OF MOCO THAT YOU WANT TO OPT OUT. IF YOU WANT TO OPT OUT, SEND A WRITTEN NOTICE ADVISING US OF YOUR DECISION TO JNJ Mobile Inc., 6 Liberty Sq PMB 96493, Boston MA 02109. UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION, YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO HAVE A DISPUTE HEARD BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY, OR OTHERWISE TO BE DECIDED BY A COURT OR GOVERNMENTAL TRIBUNAL. If applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph's limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court, subject to your and Moco's right to appeal the decision that such claim is for relief cannot be brought in arbitration. All other claims will be arbitrated. 19. U.S. Export Controls. You may not use, export, import, or transfer the Moco Properties except as authorized by U.S. law, the laws of the jurisdiction in which you obtained the Moco Properties, and any other applicable laws. In particular, but without limitation, the Moco Properties may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any United States embargoed country or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce's Denied Person's List or Entity List.

You also will not use the Moco Properties for any purpose prohibited by U.S. law, including the development, design, manufacture or production of missiles, nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. You acknowledge and agree that products, services or technology provided by Moco are subject to the export control laws and regulations of the United States. You will comply with these laws and regulations and will not, without prior U.S. government authorization, export, re-export, or transfer Moco products, services or technology, either directly or indirectly, to any country in violation of such laws and regulations. 20. No Agency. There is no agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchisor-franchisee relationship between Moco and any Member of the Service. 21. Governing Law. By using Moco, you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the state of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Conditions of Use and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and Moco. 22. Headings. The section titles of the Terms are for convenience only and have no structural or legal effect. 23. Waiver and Severability of the Terms. The failure of Moco to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. Except as provided elsewhere in this agreement, if any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, then that provision will be severed from these Terms and not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. 24. Assignment. This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Moco without restriction. 25. Other. The Terms are the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between the parties with respect to such subject matter.

The Kennedy Gold Mine—An Impressive Piece of History November 2003 by Richard H. Peterson, PhDIn the late 1850s, a prospector named Andrew Kennedy discovered gold in an outcropping of quartz not far from the present-day town of Jackson in California’s Amador County. His productive claim soon developed into the... "Thanks to your help, the word got out..." What a start to the year! In just the first two weeks of 2008, we saw the price of gold explode to the highest levels in history at $900 per ounce, Crude Oil reach $100 per barrel, some of the world’s largest financial institutions collapse in market value, unrest spread in Pakistan following the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, the worst jobs report from the Department of Labor in at least two years and the continued erosion of residential real estate values. Within this area, about two million ounces of gold and fifty million ounces of silver have been mined. Faults, dikes, veins and fissures that carry the ore form a concentric radial pattern—like spokes on a wagon wheel—around the caldera core. A recent discovery in Northern California has proven once again that there is still good gold to be found if you do your homework. I recently found myself wondering what would be the ultimate prospecting adventure. What would be the most amazing thing if I had no restrictions or limitations? Grizzly bears stand to benefit if a copper and silver mine is developed beneath Montana’s Cabinet Mountains Wilderness, the US Fish and Wildlife Service said in a rewritten opinion.
