“Here is some further explaination of the Karuk Tribe Lawsuit against the California DFG to change dredging regulations…”
Forum post, 30 March 2006
I’m sorry my report on this has taken so long, but I have been reluctant to comment beyond what was reported last week until I could obtain an actual copy of the Amended Stipulation which was submitted to the Court by the Karuks and Department of Fish & Game (DFG).
The hearing that was scheduled last week (23 March) only allowed an hour for all interested persons to present verbal arguments. The Karuks and DFG showed up at the hearing with a “new deal” in the form of an “Amended Stipulation,” which commits DFG to begin a new rule-making process under CEQA within 120 days (4 months). The injunction would expire in one year plus 120 days (unless extended by the Court) with the expectation of having new rules in place by that time. This is referring to the very same or more restrictive regulations which DFG has issued pursuant to the earlier Stipulated Agreement.
My own interpretation of this is that they are basically asking the judge to impose an injunction until DFG undergoes a formal process under CEQA that imposes an equal or greater amount of restriction upon suction dredging as what presently exists within the modified regulations. This solution is a total violation of the CEQA process, because it imposes a mandate upon DFG to arrive at a final outcome, regardless of the science or other factors which DFG is required to consider during a proper CEQA action. What is the use of going through a public process in the first place to examine the science and develop the most reasonable solutions, if DFG and the Karuks have already agreed to what the outcome is going to be? That is backwards!
DFG argued in the hearing that they have met discovery requirements to the miners, because they have allowed us access to all existing information in their files, other than anything having to do with the ongoing litigation. Our attorneys reminded the judge that it is discovery concerning the ongoing litigation which DFG is refusing to provide. They are insisting upon keeping a secret of how they are justifying further restrictive changes upon our industry!
DFG also argued that the miners are really not hurt by the new dredging restrictions, because there are many other places where we can go to prospect for gold. In turn, we argued that land owners and miners who own mineral rights within the affected area will be adversely affected by the changed regulations.
As the time allowed for this hearing was quite short, there was not enough time to fully debate the issues in front of the judge. However, the written briefs which have been submitted to the Court have exhaustively covered all sides of the issues. The key documents in the litigation can be found on the special page we have created for this on our web site.
Our lawyers argued in the hearing that the “new deal” should not be accepted by the Court for the very same reasons the earlier Stipulated Agreement should have been rejected: A State agency does [U]not[/U] have the authority to change industry regulations through a private agreement with an anti-industry group in the first place. Especially without providing [U]any[/U] factual support of its reasons to anyone!
The Court has taken everything under advisement and we assume she will issue a ruling reasonably soon. Stay tuned in, because we will put up a copy of the ruling as soon as one is issued.
I want to thank those of you who have heard my requests for financial contributions to help pay the attorneys that are working so hard for our side. I encourage you to please keep the support coming our way so that we can keep up with continuing costs of this litigation. This is going to be very important in the event we find ourselves needing to file an appeal!
Let’s all keep our fingers crossed for a positive outcome!!
All the best,

From Near Earth Asteroids to water on Mars - astronomers review latest ISO results
11 May 1999
Near-Earth Asteroids - asteroids whose orbits bring them close to Earth - very likely originate from collisions between larger asteroids thatorbit the Sun between the planets Mars and Jupiter. This result, obtained byESA's infrared space telescope, ISO, was presented yesterday at the workshop onISO results on Solar System, held at ESA's Villafranca SatelliteTracking Station in Spain. Other findings related to the atmosphere of Mars and the giant planets - Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus - were also presented during a press conference yesterday morning.About 250 Near-Earth Asteroids (NEA) are known so far, with sizes ranging from one to 40 kilometres in diameter. But according to Alan Harris, of the German Aerospace Centre (Berlin), there are more than 2000 NEA not yet identified. Their origin is still unclear, but scientists are working with two main ideas: many probably originate from collisions among the larger bodies in the Main Belt of asteroids, between Mars and Jupiter, while others might be old, 'dead' comets that have undergone so many fly-bys of the Sun that they have lost all their coma - the beautiful comet tail of dust and gas.
The infrared observations made by Harris with ISO provide information about the surface and mineralogy of the NEAs, and confirm that many are fragments of larger asteroids. ISO sees a rocky surface without much residual dust; a dusty surface is what would be expected if the NEA were 'dead comets'. Harris, however, is still analyzing the data and has not yet ruled out the possibility of finding traces of dust in one of the asteroids observed, the orbit of which is very similar to that of a comet.
As Harris points out, knowledge on the composition of these objects is necessary to predict the consequences of a future impact on the Earth. "We still know just a few of them, and although the odds that any one will hit the Earth in the near future are very low, there's a possibility. Therefore, the more we know about these objects, the better", he said.
The new data about Mars refer to the water in the atmosphere: ISO sees that it condenses and freezes close to the planet's surface. This result will help to understand the behaviour of the Martian atmosphere.
"We got these observations while NASA's Mars Pathfinder mission was also studying the planet, and the results of both missions are in agreement. ISO confirms the Mars Pathfinder data", said Therese Encrenaz, of the Observatoire de Paris-Meudon.
Encrenaz also described the detection of new molecules in the atmospheres of the giant planets, mainly hydrocarbons like the radical CH3, never detected before, and benzene. Benzene is a common molecule on Earth (in petrol for instance), but is apparently less common on other planets.ISO's spectrometers see it now in Saturn.
The discovery of water in the atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, was also reviewed by Athena Coustenis of the Observatoire de Paris-Meudon.

Silverfish have several negative consequences on a living environment. They do not directly bite humans or carry illnesses. However, they are known to cause the following problems:

2. When it comes to silverfish, what do specialists use?
Answer: Boric acid dust is used to kill silverfish and firebrats. Boric acid has the benefit of being very low in toxicity and staying a long time if put in dry spaces where it will not be disturbed. For more information contact us.
3. Are there silverfish traps?
Answer: Silverfish traps are items that are intended to aid in the removal of silverfish pests. Silverfish traps are frequently made of cardboard with one side coated in high-viscosity glue. The traps are set in regions where these insects are active.
4. Is it possible to get rid of silverfish with a dehumidifier?
Answer: As silverfish like wet settings, professionals recommend using a dehumidifier in damp areas of your house, such as your basement, to help make the place less appealing to them or to dry it out. As a result, they will become dehydrated and eventually die.
5. Why is my abode infested by silverfish?
Answer: Silverfish come to your house because they are drawn to humid circumstances, food, a welcoming environment, or any combination of these. If you have silverfish all over your abode, they are probably looking for food, a better habitat, or more room to accommodate their expanding population. So, if you come across silverfish on your property, immediately contact us for a reliable silverfish pest control service in Dyraaba Creek.

title: Klarna cartrawler travel now paylater

text:
BNPL firm Klarna has partnered with CarTrawler to allow customers to make instalment-based payments on car rentals.
Klarna will provide CarTrawler with its full range of flexible payment options to the latter’s customer base that they can use to book car rentals, as well as on over 70 airlines and 250 travel websites.
Through the agreement, Klarna is currently live on 25 airline websites across 15 countries, including Vueling, TAP Air Portugal, and Eurowings, with the two companies working together to launch on further websites in the near future.
“We are super excited to bring our fair payment methods to travellers across Europe with this CarTrawler agreement,” says Raji Behal, Head of Western and Southern Europe, UK & Ireland at Klarna.
“Providing consumers with flexible payment options and the opportunity to spread the cost of larger purchases like car rental has never been more important.”
A total of $122bn was spent on car rentals globally in 2022, a figure that is growing at over 7% a year. Historically, most of that has been spent using a credit card but this new agreement aims to give consumers a fairer way to access credit for car rental.
Klarna’s BNPL products are built to prevent people from building up large outstanding balances, as the company only lends to those who can afford to repay by conducting strict eligibility checks on every transaction.
This gives a real-time view of a consumer’s financial circumstances, unlike credit cards. When a customer misses a payment, Klarna will automatically restrict access to credit services to prevent debt building up.
CEO of CarTrawler, Peter O’Donovan, added: “Consumer demand for innovative, flexible payment options continues to grow, and our partnership with Klarna, a highly responsible BNPL provider enables our partners to offer their customers more choice and budget control for car rental and airport transfers.
“This new initiative is in direct response to the insight we have gathered across our global travel network for changing preferences in the market, and we’re delighted to continue to evolve our business in line with what customers want and need.
“For our airline and travel partners, more flexibility in consumer choice can support more opportunities to drive ancillary revenue growth.”

Kes Reimagined streams for free online
David Farnor | On 06, Jun 2020
Kes Reimagined is streaming for free online thanks to The Space.
A celebrated retelling of a modern classic, the production combines dance, music and puppetry to create a family-friendly alternative to War Horse. It brings to life the story of boy and bird that was told by Barry Hines’ novel A Kestrel for a Knave, then adapted into a film by Ken Loach.
Set in a Yorkshire mining community, the film takes audiences on a journey with Billy Casper and his family. The young working-class boy troubled at home and at school, finds solace when he finds and trains a kestrel. As the beloved, Kes swoops and spins in the expansive freedom of the Barnsley countryside, Billy’s self-confidence begins to soar and boy and bird become one.
The production initially premiered at Sheffield’s Crucible, choreographed by award-winning Jonathan Watkins, who also created George Orwell’s modern classic 1984 for Northern Balle. Performed to new score by Alex Baranowski, with puppetry design and direction by Rachael Canning, the stage show was filmed to coincide with the 50th-anniversary release of Loach’s film.
Produced by Martin Collins and directed by Emmy award winner, Ross MacGibbon, the film has screened at Leeds International Film Festival and aired at Showroom Cinema, Sheffield, Square Chapel Arts Centre, Halifax and Tyneside Cinema, as well as being broadcast on BBC Four in 2019. Now, it’s available online internationally for the first time, with The Space streaming the production for free on YouTube until 19th June 2020.
It joins a wave of digital theatre initiatives during the coronavirus lockdown, with the National Theatre streaming shows on Thursdays and the Old Vic Theatre streaming shows on Fridays. You can read our full guide to digital theatre here.

Executive Summary: Cost Effectiveness Comparisons of Private Versus Public Prisons in Louisiana: A Comprehensive Analysis of Allen, Avoyelles, and Winn Correctional Centers: Phase I
William G. Archambeault Ph.D.; Donald R. Deis Jr. Ph.D.
A cost-effectiveness analysis of three Louisiana prisons focused on whether measurable significant differences existed in the cost-effectiveness of private and publicly operated prisons and whether the two private prisons differed measurably in their cost-effectiveness.
The three prisons were the Allen Correctional Center, operated by the Wackenhut Corrections Corporation; the Avoyelles Correctional Center, operated by the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections; and the Winn Correctional Center, operated by Corrections Corporation of America under contract with the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections. The study used effectiveness measures that focused on risk to staff and inmate safety, performance, and efficiency in delivering services to inmates. It also used measures of direct, indirect, and augmentation costs to the State. The data covered fiscal years 1992-93 through 1995-96 and included some information for fiscal year 1991-92. Results revealed that the prisons were comparable and that the three prisons were all adequately protecting the public with respect to preventing escapes and protecting visitor safety. The Avoyelles Correctional Center appeared to be going the best job of preventing escapes, whereas the two private prisons were more effective than Avoyelles in achieving staff safety. Allen cost $22.93 per inmate per day over the past 5 fiscal years, versus $23.49 for Winn and $26.60 for Avoyelles. Overall, the two private prisons significantly outperformed the public prison on the vast majority of measures used to compare the three prisons, although the public prison outperformed the private prisons in several areas. The two main types of prison organization and management were both safe and effective if they were private. Findings suggested that private prisons have a definite place in any State's total prison system, but no State should completely privatize its prison system or contract with any single vendor.

on my desk…
Hello, my crafty friends! It’s Wednesday and you know what time it is. Time to snoop. For those of you that aren’t familiar with WOYWW (What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday), head on over to Julia’s Stamping Ground and you will find desks from all around the world where we get to snoop on other crafter’s desks.
I am glad I took my picture of my desk yesterday because we have had a whirlwind of weather this morning. The winds are so high some of the stuff on my deck were rearranged and the rain was pretty heavy. So the natural light in my craft room right now isn’t the best. I am so grateful for the rain despite the winds. We desperately need rain.
On my desk you can see my work and book journal, my current read, Frederick Douglas, my headphones my husband gave me. They are so high tech and the sound is quite divine. I usually listen to music on my Bose speaker while I work but now that my boys are home doing school virtually, I try not to make too much noise. So the headphones are great. You can also see some fall themed flags I will be printing on sticker paper for my bullet journals.
I thought I would introduce you to my new desk mate. Her name is Thea. I hope she will thrive here. I have had a lovely conversation with her today (yup, I talk to my plants). She told me to stop slacking. She is a bit of a bossy one.
I finally went out in the garden last Saturday to clean up a bit and plant my fall mums. My husband even helped a little. He knows the garden is my happy space so when I asked him to join me he was a little surprised.
This is the planter he built for me a few years back and I love it because I can change it for the seasons. I will take another photo once the flowers bloom.
Happy mail is the best during the pandemic. My sister sent me this kitchen towel and candle. The funny thing was that I had sent her a surprised package earlier that day.
New book I just received. It’ an anthology of female authors from the African Diaspora. It is a chunkster so I think I might save it for the new year and take my time with it. But isn’t the cover so beautiful? I just had to take a picture.
Saturday’s craft zoom session was fun as usual. I ended up just playing with new products rather than working on a project. Above is a few dies I recently purchased. I see some come cool projects with these beauties.
Above is a new 3D embossing folder I used some distress oxide on them for color but they look so classy plain white. I can just slap a sentiment on them and they would be complete.
I did complete one card. I used distress oxide with a new stencil. I wanted to create and ombre effect.
Well enough about me. I need to get to some good snooping.


title: Savitri brata a devotional ode to marital commitment%20

text:
Savitri Brata is a deeply revered fasting ritual observed by married Hindu women, especially in Odisha, in honor of Goddess Savitri. Celebrated on the Amavasya (new moon day) of the month of Jyestha, this brata (vow or ritual) pays homage to the legendary devotion of Savitri, who is believed to have brought her husband Satyavan back from the clutches of death through her unwavering faith and determination.
On this sacred day, women dress in new sarees, apply sindoor (vermilion), and tie sacred threads while praying for the longevity and well-being of their husbands. They listen to or read the Savitri Brata Katha, offer fruits, flowers to the deity, and observe a day-long fast without water.
Savitri Brata is not just a religious observance; it is an expression of love, loyalty, and spiritual strength. It symbolizes the power of a woman’s devotion and her role as a protector of family dharma. In Odia households, this day is a blend of solemnity, tradition, and quiet celebration.
Voices of Odia women:
Ruchismita Rayguru, 35, Bhubaneswar:
“Every year, I observe Savitri Brata because it strengthens my faith. It reminds me that love and prayer can move mountains. It’s not about superstition, it's about hope and resilience.”
Suryasnata Bohidar, 26, Bargarh:
“Savitri is an inspiration. In a world of uncertainties, I find comfort in rituals that connect me to my roots. Fasting is hard, but it teaches patience and self-discipline.”
Manjula Subudhi, 58, Banki:
“I have been doing this brata for more than 30 years. My mother and grandmother did it too. It’s a part of our identity as Odia women, full of devotion and quiet strength.”
Maitri Patnaik, 45, Jajpur:
“Some may call it outdated, but to me, it’s empowering. It’s a day to pause, reflect, and pray for the man who walks beside me in this life.”
Savitri Brata continues to thrive as a living tradition among Odia women, blending devotion with cultural pride. It showcases the strength of a woman’s will and the enduring legacy of mythological ideals in modern life.


title: Why pass fail background check policies are a legal risk for employers

text:
The trend for ban-the-box laws continues to grow, so it is surprising that some employers still have pass/fail policies and processes for background checks that eliminate applicants from consideration without any individualized assessment.
This opens companies up for lawsuits, and it isn’t just individual applicants who sue companies. Class action lawsuits pop up more and more as law firms actively solicit plaintiffs for lawsuits. As recently as 2024 even the EEOC sued an employer because they found the employer’s policies and procedures to be discriminatory and to have a disparate impact on minorities.
An employer may believe their practices are a business necessity. In the EEOC lawsuit, the employer felt their pass/fail matrix helped them to make hiring decisions that would provide a safe work environment. However, EEOC Regional Attorney Debra M. Lawrence stated that, “even when such necessity is proven, the practice remains unlawful if there is an alternative practice available that is comparably effective in achieving the employer’s goals but causes less discriminatory effect.”
The EEOC’s issues with the employer’s practices are:
- The employer did not have a conversation with the applicants to discuss the item(s) on the reports to get more information.
- Any adverse action based on the report was not reviewed by anyone except the initial screener.
- Reports were not discussed with applicants for verification of the information.
- The applicants did not have an option to appeal the decision.
The simplest, and in some locations, legally required option, is to make individual assessments. Consider the nature and gravity of the offense; the amount of time that has passed since the offense; and how it relates to the specific position. Along with these items, any efforts at rehabilitation should be considered. Talk to the applicant to get more information on any mitigating circumstances. You can find guidance from the EEOC at https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/enforcement-guidance-consideration-arrest-and-conviction-records-employment-decisions.
Some locations have laws that require written assessments to show how the information from a background check was considered in relation to the position. As always, employers must be aware of the laws in all locations where they conduct business. With so many people working remotely these days, employers should keep in mind that laws apply where the person lives and works. ASE members can use the state law comparator tools in both CCH and Zywave, available on the ASE Member Dashboard.
Employers who use staffing agencies to supplement their staff could have some liability for discriminatory practices by the agencies. When you partner with an agency make sure you know what their hiring practices are and make sure the agency understands your expectations for non-discriminatory practices.

title: Zootaxa.3964.1.2

text: The complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes of two Oriental endemic dobsonfly species, Neoneuromus tonkinensis (van der Weele) and Nevromus exterior (Navás), were determined and analyzed, which represent the first mt genomes of the genera Neoneuromus van der Weele, 1909 and Nevromus Rambur, 1842. The mt genome of N. tonkinensis is a typical circular DNA of 15776 bp with A+T content being 76.3%, while that of N. exterior is 15763 bp with A+T content being 77.5%. Both mt genomes are composed of 37 genes with an ancestral gene arrangement of the insect mt genome. Eleven of the 13 protein coding genes (PCGs) start with codon ATT and ATG, except for cox1 and nad1 respectively having ATC and ATA as the start codons in the mt genome of N. tonkinensis. Complete termination codons TAG and TAA were found in nine PCGs, while the remaining four genes are supposed to end with a single T. Most tRNAs are folded into the typical clover-leaf structure except for the trnS1 whose dihydrouridine arm is a simple loop. The secondary structure of rrnL consists of five structural domains and 50 helices, while the rrnS includes three domains and 34 helices. In the phylogenomic analysis, both Bayesian inference (BI) and maximum likelihood (ML) approaches, based on sequence data of all 13 PCGs and two rRNA genes of the mt genomes, suggested that Neoneuromus and Nevromus form a monophyletic group, which is the sister group of the lineage including Corydalus and Acanthacorydalis but not the sister group of Acanthacorydalis van der Weele, 1907 as previously reported based on morphological data.

LFS has built-in AA/AF support since Y14 now, maybe that is somehow interfering with your profiler software? It's definitely still possible to force AA/AF (because I have to force AF as the ingame setting doesn't work for me )
It seems that I'm getting sound distortion very easily now.
I have compared the same replay (18 FBM's at the start of a SO6 race) played with patch Y and patch Y22. The replay was made with patch Y. Default FBM engine sound has been used.
It's obvious that I get sound distortion on Y22 where I get none on Y, watching at the same car and using the same view. I'm not talking about Shift+U mode but about spectator view and on-board view.
I have used the exact same settings in both Y and Y22 as I've copied my whole patch Y folder and then applied patch Y22 over it.
When doing a layout on any track, it's possible to get into a situation where everyone on the server goes JOOS - OBJS, and no one is able to connect to the server without immediately being booted. At that point, the server has to be restarted to clear the layout and the layout has to be remade.
I haven't been able yet to isolate what exactly makes it happen, but it's happened to me 3x in the last month or so.
Yup, I can confirm that. It happens a lot on Aston, with the hill beside the pits. Objects placed there fall through the ground unless you place them from far away. Then it gives JOOS - OBJS. But I found that the layout works no problem in single player, and it also has no problem if you place the objects in editor mode while on the server. It crashes if you load the layout on the server though
To add some more info on this, DWB and I were on a server at Blackwood (BL2) and I was editing a locally saved layout while DWB was testing. There seemed to be some kind of issue where I couldn't select an object and then got the JOOS-OBJS error message. The /axclear command did take of the problem without a server restart and I went back on the server, re-loaded the layout and resumed my editing. This very same thing has happened to me probably 5+ times lately. Not really a big deal, but annoying nonetheless.
I tested patch Y22 I have these results:
Worst track graphic - the same FPS
The same track graphis - worst FPS
I lost some good demoservers. (ZION) maybe it is ok I have not read all info about patch.
MIP filter has strange function now. If I right remember if I had 100% MIP the track was nice and high FPS. Now it is reversed. 0% MIP = ugly track and high fps
ASUS A7N8X 2.0
AMD Athlon XP 2600+ 1913MHz
MSI GeForce 5500 FX 128MB
Max FPS = 65
Min FPS = 22
(FPS values can be different I do not remember I can make screenshot with right values if needed)
I forgot to say my addons
car shine, digital speedo, hi textures sky and track (BL)
Happyly it is not so bad as I post here. It is texture filtering / AS I am talking about, I am sorry :-D I see lower fps number, but it is not easy recognize that the game is "slower"
I´m running y22patch, when i created a new server and typed /wind 1 or 2 in the game the flags arent moving around, they dissapear when typed 0
but when i change in the menu and restart, then it works.
- press CTRL+S to save a bmp to your data\shots folder
- press ALT+PrtScn to copy an image of the current window to the clipboard
Both seem to work fine here. It would be best if you would give a full description of exactly what you did, what mode you are in, what you pressed, what you expected to happen and what actually happened, so we can try to reproduce the problem.
I'm knocked over by this new patch. Really has made a significant improvement to the overall look of LFS as well as FPS. FPS though is about the same as before though, as I have turned up all the new features to max. Thanks a lot.
The dials though [INCAR] do look rather too clear compared to crappy dashboard gfx though.
It does reflect the sky, the problem is more that the way reflections are rendered isn't necessarily correct (?) for all viewing angles. Especially when viewing a surface from a very shallow angle you seem to mostly see the "bottom" part of the sky reflection texture, which is mostly black or otherwise dark. You can verify that by going into Shift+U mode and slowly reducing the height of the camera till you are at the driver's helmet and see how the reflection reacts.
I know there is no flags and the wind powerstations do not spin when i set it to 0 but in this case, when a start a new game and set the wind to 1 or 2 in the game (typing "/wind 1 or 2")the flags pops up but they doesen´t move (like flags on the moon ) o the wind statons doesn´t spin.


title: What Is It?

What Is It?
Dermal filler is usually hyaluronic acid gel, it looks like clear grape jelly. You already have hyaluronic acid in your skin, so bad reactions are very rare. It is able to be dissolved, or reversed, with hyaluronidase, a medication we keep on hand at all times. Other fillers do exist that are not reversible, but we do not typically use these for facial contouring due to the risk of complications.
I Don't Want To Look Overdone!
It’s not a question, but we hear it all the time. We don’t want to look overdone either, and we promise not to do it to you. Jen always recommends small treatments over a period of months to let you adjust to the small changes and to reduce downtime and the risk of complications.
Are There Any Risks?
The most important risk of dermal filler is that if it is inadvertently injected into a blood vessel, it will stop blood flow through that vessel, this is called vascular compromise. Signs of vascular compromise are gray or whitish skin that doesn’t turn pink when you press on it, and severe pain. Vascular compromise is treated by dissolving the filler with an enzyme called hyaluronidase; we keep a large volume of hyaluronidase on site at all times. If you think you are having a complication, you should call Jen directly at 603-460-5706. There are several ways Jen reduces your risk of this complication. She will map out your blood vessels using ultrasound before and after your filler treatment. This allows her to know exactly where your blood vessels are, and to assess their flow after treatment. She also uses cannula whenever possible, which has a lower risk of vascular compromise. Jen is also a member of Complications in Medical Aesthetic Collaborative (CMAC), a nonprofit aimed at supporting aesthetic clinicians in education and training for complication prevention and management. Other complications of dermal filler are usually treated by dissolving the filler.
What Is The Down Time?
Jen prefers to perform conservative treatments over time so that your bruising and swelling are minimized. Bruising is normal and expected, but some people do not bruise at all. We can recommend makeup brands that best cover bruising, should it occur. Swelling should also be minimal, and should not interrupt your daily life.
How Long Will It Last?
The filler companies will tell you it lasts 12-18 months, but that’s because that's when they stopped their research studies. We now know that filler can last a long time. Jen recommends treatment with filler not on a schedule, but when it is indicated by changes in your facial contour. There are three things that most affect the duration of your filler treatment: the individual (some people wear it out sooner than others), the mobility of the area (lips wear out faster than cheeks), and exposure to UV light (wear your SPF!).
What Is The Cost?
Cost depends heavily on the areas treated and your anatomy. We strongly recommend you come in for a free consultation so Jen can let you know what would be needed to meet your goals. To give you a frame of reference, lip filler is usually $500-800, and cheek treatment is around $800-$1600.

IT solutions provider CDW (NASDAQGS:CDW) reported revenue ahead of Wall Street’s expectations in Q1 CY2025, with sales up 6.7% year on year to $5.20 billion. Its non-GAAP profit of $2.15 per share was 9.5% above analysts’ consensus estimates.
Is now the time to buy CDW? Find out by accessing our full research report, it’s free.
CDW (CDW) Q1 CY2025 Highlights:
- Revenue: $5.20 billion vs analyst estimates of $4.94 billion (6.7% year-on-year growth, 5.3% beat)
- Adjusted EPS: $2.15 vs analyst estimates of $1.96 (9.5% beat)
- Operating Margin: 7%, in line with the same quarter last year
- Free Cash Flow Margin: 5%, down from 7.5% in the same quarter last year
- Market Capitalization: $21.6 billion
"The team delivered an excellent start to 2025, as they once again helped customers navigate dynamic market conditions and accomplish mission critical outcomes," said Christine A. Leahy, chair and chief executive officer, CDW.
Serving as a crucial bridge between technology manufacturers and end users since 1984, CDW (NASDAQ:CDW) is a multi-brand provider of information technology solutions that helps businesses and public sector organizations select, implement, and manage hardware, software, and IT services.
A company’s long-term performance is an indicator of its overall quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but many enduring ones grow for years.
With $21.33 billion in revenue over the past 12 months, CDW is a behemoth in the business services sector and benefits from economies of scale, giving it an edge in distribution. This also enables it to gain more leverage on its fixed costs than smaller competitors and the flexibility to offer lower prices. However, its scale is a double-edged sword because it’s challenging to maintain high growth rates when you’ve already captured a large portion of the addressable market. For CDW to boost its sales, it likely needs to adjust its prices, launch new offerings, or lean into foreign markets.
As you can see below, CDW’s 2.9% annualized revenue growth over the last five years was sluggish. This shows it failed to generate demand in any major way and is a rough starting point for our analysis.
Long-term growth is the most important, but within business services, a half-decade historical view may miss new innovations or demand cycles. CDW’s performance shows it grew in the past but relinquished its gains over the last two years, as its revenue fell by 3.5% annually.
This quarter, CDW reported year-on-year revenue growth of 6.7%, and its $5.20 billion of revenue exceeded Wall Street’s estimates by 5.3%.
Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 1.1% over the next 12 months. While this projection indicates its newer products and services will fuel better top-line performance, it is still below the sector average.
Software is eating the world and there is virtually no industry left that has been untouched by it. That drives increasing demand for tools helping software developers do their jobs, whether it be monitoring critical cloud infrastructure, integrating audio and video functionality, or ensuring smooth content streaming.

CDW was profitable over the last five years but held back by its large cost base. Its average operating margin of 7.3% was weak for a business services business.
On the plus side, CDW’s operating margin rose by 1.3 percentage points over the last five years, as its sales growth gave it operating leverage.
This quarter, CDW generated an operating profit margin of 7%, in line with the same quarter last year. This indicates the company’s overall cost structure has been relatively stable.
Earnings Per Share
We track the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) for the same reason as long-term revenue growth. Compared to revenue, however, EPS highlights whether a company’s growth is profitable.
CDW’s EPS grew at a solid 9.3% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years, higher than its 2.9% annualized revenue growth. This tells us the company became more profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded.
We can take a deeper look into CDW’s earnings quality to better understand the drivers of its performance. As we mentioned earlier, CDW’s operating margin was flat this quarter but expanded by 1.3 percentage points over the last five years. On top of that, its share count shrank by 7.9%. These are positive signs for shareholders because improving profitability and share buybacks turbocharge EPS growth relative to revenue growth.
In Q1, CDW reported EPS at $2.15, up from $1.92 in the same quarter last year. This print beat analysts’ estimates by 9.5%. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects CDW’s full-year EPS of $9.75 to stay about the same.
Key Takeaways from CDW’s Q1 Results
We were impressed by how significantly CDW blew past analysts’ revenue expectations this quarter. We were also glad its EPS outperformed Wall Street’s estimates. Zooming out, we think this was a solid print. The stock remained flat at $163.93 immediately following the results.
Is CDW an attractive investment opportunity at the current price? The latest quarter does matter, but not nearly as much as longer-term fundamentals and valuation, when deciding if the stock is a buy. We cover that in our actionable full research report which you can read here, it’s free.

A British-American adventure musical dark fantasy film directed by Jim Henson, executive-produced by George Lucas, and based upon conceptual designs by Brian Froud
Sarah is an unhappy teenager. She feels put upon by her parents and resents having to babysit her brother but then has second thoughts when he disappears after she wishes him away. She then finds herself at the mercy of the goblin king who has put her under a spell and forced her to take part in a wager for the safe return of the baby brother she didn't realise that she loved.
The film revolves around 15-year-old Sarah's (Jennifer Connelly) quest to reach the center of an enormous otherworldly maze to rescue her infant brother Toby, who Sarah wished away to Jareth, the Goblin King (David Bowie). With the exception of Connelly and Bowie, most of the film's significant characters are played by puppets produced by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.

title: Scc finds new contractual duty of honest performance

text:
The Supreme Court of Canada has confirmed a new common law duty to act honestly in the performance of contractual obligations.
The case involved a commercial dealership agreement. The defendant was in the business of marketing education savings plans through individual dealers. The plaintiff was among the dealers and in effect, a small business owner. Although the contract between the parties automatically renewed every three years, it contained a termination clause permitting either party to terminate upon providing 6 months’ notice. The contract also contained an entire agreement clause. When the defendant ultimately terminated the contract, it misled the plaintiff about its intentions. As a result, the plaintiff lost the value of his business. The plaintiff commenced an action alleging, among other things, bad faith on part of the defendants.
At trial, the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench found that the defendants owed the plaintiff a duty of good faith and that this duty was breached by the defendants. This decision was overturned on appeal to the Alberta Court of Appeal. Of particular note, the Court of Appeal held that the trial court erred in implying a term of good faith in to a commercial contract, particularly one that included an entire agreement clause. The matter was then appealed to the SCC.
The SCC overturned the decision of the Court of Appeal and, in so doing, expressly established a new common law duty of honest performance. The Court clarified that the duty of honesty in contractual performance “means simply that parties must not lie or otherwise knowingly mislead each other about matters directly linked to the performance of the contract.” In this case, the defendant was dishonest in deciding not to renew the contract and as such, breached the duty of honesty owed to the plaintiff. The plaintiff was awarded $87,000 plus interest, the value of the business at the time of non-renewal.
Although the common law previously provided for an implied duty of good faith in respect of specific classes of contracts (including employment contracts), this new implied duty of honesty represents a significant change in the law of contract with respect to commercial agreements.

title: New experimental limit on the pauli exclusion

text:
The Pauli Exclusion Principle (PEP) is one of the basic principles of modern physics and, even if there are no compelling reasons to doubt its validity, it is still debated today because an intuitive, elementary explanation is still missing, and because of its unique stand among the basic symmetries of physics. We present an experimental test of the validity of the Pauli Exclusion Principle for electrons based on a straightforward idea put forward a few years ago by Ramberg and Snow (E. Ramberg and G. A. Snow 1990 Phys. Lett. B 238 438). We performed a very accurate search of X‐rays from the Pauli‐forbidden atomic transitions of electrons in the already filled 1S shells of copper atoms. Although the experiment has a very simple structure, it poses deep conceptual and interpretational problems. Here we describe the experimental method and recent experimental results interpreted as an upper limit for the probability to violate the Pauli Exclusion Principle. We also present future plans to upgrade the experimental apparatus.

As I wrote in my last article
GetX is one from 3 of the most popular and active maintained state managers and here are some reasons why I like it:
Although is here only one year and is younger then Bloc or Provider, his popularity grow very rapidly.
Below in the graph you can see how the popularity is growing compared with other State managers in last 3 years:
You can see that GetX is growing up with the same speed as Bloc one year ago which is the most popular state management library in Flutter today.
So we can suppose that this grow will be continue also in the future.
For me as for beginner was very hard to work with Bloc, understand how streams works and create some useful app in short time.
With Provider it was better but result code wasn't so pretty and readability was a little worse.
But with GetX was development very pleasure. Firstly I understood a lot in very short time. I cannot write a lot of code and I can fully focus to my application development without finding why something doesn't work.
You can see that with GetX application take only 132 lines of code which is lower than same application written with any other popular State manager.
So it can be also reason why use GetX because with less code you can have also less bugs and better overview in the project.
With GetX you cannot use a StatefulWidget.
Instead of it you use GetxController with Obx or GetBuilder for state updates and GetView which you can use instead of StatelessWidget.
All together give you a cleaner code without any useless boilerplate:
GetX contains all ecosystem useful packages where is: State manager, Dependency manager, Navigation manager, Internationalization and other very handy functions which make your development more simple and coding will be faster without any useless boilerplate code.
So you cannot use many different packages but you import only one and use everything what can gives you.
For more info look into:
GetX Ecosystem - State Management
GetX Ecosystem - Dependency injection
Or official GetX documentation
If you also want to see some code, you can look into my Github repositories where I have a lot of small projects written with GetX when I has been learning with Flutter.
I hope this article is useful for you and if yes, let me know it by give a like or some small comments below.. ;)
Edit: After one year later I released my new article about GetX:


title: Clinic temporarily closed after patient succumbs to covid 19

text:
Purity clinic, one of the private health facilities in Pandwong Division in Kitgum Municipality has been temporarily closed after a patient it briefly admitted succumbed to coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
The patient was reportedly admitted to the facility early this week and spent three days as a regular patient before being transferred to Gulu Regional Referral Hospital where she died. Autopsy reports indicated the deceased succumbed to COVID-19 complications.
Kitgum Resident District Commissioner William Komakech told journalists at a press briefing Friday that the temporary closure of the clinic is to pave way for proper disinfection of the entire health facility. He adds that all health workers at the facility have been subjected to COVID-19 testing while all their contacts are currently being traced.
Komakech asked all private health caregivers in the Municipality to adhere to the Standard Operating Procedures and ensure that all patients undergo mandatory COVID-19 testing to avoid the spread of the contagion.
He also proposed that bigger health facilities in the district should now consider starting mandatory testing of patients before admission to ensure the safety of health workers who are currently falling victims to the disease. At least three health workers at Kitgum General Hospital tested positive for COVID-19 this week after coming in contact with a patient.
The death of a patient at the private clinic brings to two the number of patients who have succumbed to COVID-19 in the Municipality in just one week pushing the cumulative death the district registered to 11 since March last year.
Health officials have warned that the district is on a slow path to losing the battle to COVID-19 fight with the current spike in weekly cases of COVID-19within the sub-counties and divisions in the municipality being registered.
Dr Henry Okello Otto, the Acting District Health Officer on Thursday during a weekly task force meeting disclosed that a total of 23 new cases of COVID-19 had been registered in only one week out of 161 clients tested. A total of 73 patients are currently under home-based care according to Dr Okello.
He raised concern over the laxity in adherence to the Standard Operating Procedures-SOPs among the populace in the district as contributing factors to the rising community covid-19 infections.
Dr Okello also noted that reluctance by community members to voluntarily test for COVID-19 has made it hard to trace the trend of spread of the disease and urged locals to embrace voluntary testing. Cumulative positive COVID-19 cases in the district have hit 489 out of 4,114 people tested since March last year.
At least 8,300 people have so far been vaccinated against COVID-19, according to reports from the district COVID-19 task force.

Saturday, August 3, 2024 - The Matatu Crew Welfare Association has voiced strong concerns over alleged discrimination in the administration of justice within the business.
The association claims that some flashy matatus operating on the Ngong -
Nairobi route are notorious for flagrantly violating traffic laws in plain view
of traffic police officers.
According to the association, these matatus have been observed blocking and
harassing other matatu operators.
The vehicles are reported to lack Public Service Vehicle (PSV) licenses and insurance and are not registered with any matatu Sacco.
occurrences, vehicles at the railway stage have to queue for up to four hours
to be able to carry passengers, but these vehicles are said to not follow these
The association claims to have reported these issues to the traffic police
multiple times but there has been no effective response.
Police are said
to be afraid of arresting them for fear of losing their jobs or being
The crew operators plan to hold demonstrations on Wednesday, August 7th, if no action is taken.
The matatus are owned by President William Ruto’s son, George
“Kuna magari watu wanasema ni za serikali, gari haina at
jina ya Sacco…gari inakuja hapa inareverse kwa roundabout, askari wanaangalia
tu,” said WIlfred Bosire, the association chairman.
“Askari wa trafiki, hata Regional Commander, hawaeziongelea
hizo magari, hii ni nchi gani tunaishi? People are scared, they can’t speak,
but some of us must speak whether we’re going to be abducted or not. We want
fairness in doing business,’’ said Jasper, an investor in the matatu industry.
Now this is the real face of Impunity. Citizen forgot to add that the vehicles don't even have insurance and are now being referred to as "Government vehicles" #NaneNane #NaneNaneMarch pic.twitter.com/xMBIeyAfGd

Global Sustainable Development Congress #GSDcongress
November 2022, the Global Sustainable Development Congress, hosted by the Unversity of Glasgow and convened by Times Higher Education. The Word of the day, “Be Brave” – includes women and girls that cannot reach Global Sustainable Development goals. These girls are always facing difficulties due to fam
ilies taking place in forced marriage, facing life-and-death scenarios if they do not comply.
I was honored to be asked to be a keynote speaker as the founder of Freedom Charity, and I thank them for a wonderful Congress of brilliant speakers and a historic, imposing venue. I also thank the great support from all the people that I met on the day.
Though sad that I could not attend the other days, I had a great time regardless
Mary Robinson is an adjunct professor of climate justice at Trinity College Dublin and chair of The Elders. She served as president of Ireland between 1990 and 1997. Mary Robinson spoke in great detail about how the future of climate should be in the curriculum of all education sectors of the future. This means that future generations have the knowledge and know-how to make the earth cleaner and safer.
Dr. Tony Chan
Dr. Tony Chan became president of the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in 2018. Chan did this after nearly a decade as president of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. He believes that universities should chang their values in terms of climate change. Chan Belives that the earth needs bright minds to push sustainability to everyone.
When I think about Global Sustainable Development I believe many people overlook the role of women and girls. This is because
forced marriage and FGM are both hidden crimes and not many people know that these crimes are happening, mainly because of the secrecy and unknown nature of these abductions/attacks on those that are being targeted.


title: Geranium x cantabrigiense biokovo

text:
Key Features: White Flowers with a pink tinge. Carpet forming. Aromatic foliage. Autumn colour.
Height x Spread: 12 x 18+ Inches (30 x 45 cm)
Preferred Aspect: Sun or Shade
Flowering Period: May - July
The x cantabrigiense varieties are all crosses between G. macrorrhizum and G. dalmaticum. They are one of the most versatile of all the cranesbills in that they tolerate dry conditions as well as being happy in damp earth, and they are tolerant of sun as well as being suited to shade. Due to their parentage, they are also semi-evergreen, and on top of all that, as well as retaining some foliage through winter, they usually always produce a good show of autumn colour. What’s not to like?! They obviously have some individual characteristics though. They are relatively low growing, usually achieving around 8 inches in height, they spread to form a carpet via underground runners, and they come in mostly the same colours as the macrorrhizums, which are magenta/cerise, light pink and white. They are brilliant for suppressing weeds and work well in troublesome places where establishing other plants might be tricky. Oh and their foliage is fragrant too!
Hardy Geraniums are one of the most diverse genera of herbaceous perennials. It is possible to find a Geranium to suit most parts of your garden, from the vast range of species and varieties available. They complement most other plants beautifully and, chosen wisely, can provide a continuation of colour in the garden from spring through to early winter.
Please note that the heights, spreads and flowering periods mentioned are approximate, as they can be affected by your soil type, light levels and other various conditions that may surround the plant.

Mandavraiji Bhagwan (Surya Bhagwan) is the Esthdev (Kuldevta) of the Muli Royal Family. Laghdhirsinhji I founded the Kingdom of Muli in 1215 Vikram Samvat ie. 1158 AD in Saurashtra. He travelled from Tharparkar in Sind region to Muli. He carried with him the 5 idols of Bhagwan Mandavrai ji in a chariot namely:
1. Mandavrai ji (Surya Bhagwan)
2. Devguru Brahaspati ji
3. Chaturbhuj Vishnu Swarup ji
4. Pingaldada ji (Surya Bhagwan’s Brother)
5. Randal Mata ji (Surya Bhagwan’s wife)
Laghdhirsinhji I – The 1st HH Thakore Saheb of Muli built the Mandavraiji Temple in Muli by installing the 5 idols at the temple he carried with him from Tharparkar.
Laghdhirsinhji II – The 5th HH Thakore Saheb of Muli was a very progressive and strong ruler. He further developed the Mandavraiji Temple in Muli and built the temple dome during his tenure.
Chachoji (Sesaji) – The 7th HH Thakore Saheb of Muli was considered the biggest devotee and was said to be extremely close to Bhagwan Mandavraiji. It is said that Bhagwan Mandavraiji used to even come in his presence and communicate with him. The famous ‘SINH NU DAAN’ story is associated with him and hence came to be known as SINH DAANESHWARI RAJA!
Harichandrasinhji – The 22nd HH Thakore Saheb of Muli renovated and upgraded the Mandavraiji Temple during his tenure.
Every HH Thakore Saheb of Muli during their tenure have been prime devotee of Bhagwan Mandavraiji and have protected, preserved, renovated, developed, managed the Mandavraiji Temple since the 1215 vikram samvat.
The HH Thakore Saheb of Muli performs the Traditional Haavan on the 8th day of Navratri at the Mandavraiji Temple every year. This traditional custom is followed for centuries.
Dhar Devi Amba (Kuldevi)
Dhar Devi Amba is the Kuldevi of the Muli Royal Family. The Dhar Devi Amba is installed at the Juna Darbargadh (which was the private residence of the HH Thakore Saheb of Muli). The HH Thakore Saheb of Muli performs the Traditional Haavan on the 8th day of Navratri at the Juna Darbargadh for the Kuldevi every year. This traditional custom is followed for centuries.
Mahasati Jaumbai Ma Temple
Jagdevsinhji was the 10th HH Thakore Saheb of Muli. During the tenure of Jagdevsinhji that the famous Partridge War was fought in 1693 vikram samvat in which Munjaji II (2nd son of Jagdevsinhji) died along with 140 brave warriors. Muli State won the war against the Chabad Rajputs in which over 500 Chabads were killed. A significant battle was fought, driven by the deep reverence for this bird. The Parmars, the noble rulers of Muli, took a sacred vow never to harm or kill a partridge. Even during an era when partridge hunting was prevalent and enjoyed as a favourite pastime amongst royalty, Muli stood as an exception, where the protection of these birds was strictly enforced. Till date the Parmars of Muli do not shoot or eat a partridge and it remains a protected bird.
The Palia (Memorial Stones) of the brave martyrs can be seen at the memorial site. The martyrs belonged to different communities and the memorial stones reflect that.
Jaumji Ba (wife of Munjaji II who died in the Partridge War of 1693 vikram samvat) committed Sati with her husband body in her lap. It is said that fire emerged from the thumb in her feet when she lay with her husband’s body in her lap. She attained the status of a Mahasati. There is a temple built in the memory of Jaumji Ba (Jaumbai Ma) and followers and worshippers visit the Mahasati Jaumbai Ma Temple and the war memorial of the brave warriors that died in the Partridge War from all over.
Mahasati Jaumbai Ma Temple is one of the most significant, historical, powerful and spiritual sites belonging to Jaumbai Ma who was the wife of Munjaji II – 2nd son of the 10th HH Thakore Saheb Jagdevsinhji of the Muli Royal Family.
The Muli Royal Family performs a traditional Havaan at the Mahasati Jaumbai Ma Temple on the 7th day of Navratri every year as a mark of respect to the Mahasati who was part of the Muli Royal Family.
Welcome to Ambika Nivas Palace, where you can immerse yourself in the grandeur of royal living. Once an ancestral palace, this has been transformed into a Luxury Palace Hotel by the current Thakore Saheb of Muli.

The mission of our Pastoral Care Ministry is to provide quality, timely, and professional spiritual and emotional support in an intimate and confidential environment, modeled on the life and ministry of Christ. Our clergy, along with a team of trained laity, provide pastoral care to all parishioners, especially in times of grief, illness, and crisis—creating a shared experience of healing, renewal, and growth.
Addiction & Recovery Care Ministry:
By baptism a person is adopted into God’s family and is made a full member of the church. A person who has been baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in another Christian community does not need to be baptized again when they join an Episcopal church.
Trained lay ministers who bring communion to members of the community who are unable to attend worship due to hospitalization or being homebound.
Deliver altar flowers to a congregation member each Sunday as a sign of support, thanks, or other special recognition.
Please report the death of parishioner to the clergy of the parish as soon as possible (church office: 703-938-6521). The pastoral care emergency line (703-216-1864) may be used at any hour to reach the clergy on call. The Rector and staff are ready to be of assistance and can be with the family at the funeral home, if desired. The clergy should be consulted before a date and time is set for the funeral or memorial service.
Gestalt Soul Care:
Gestalt Soul Care (GSC) is a powerful set of tools for healing, formation, and growth. It is a unique holistic and healing blend of Gestalt approaches, Aesthetic principles, 12 Step Wisdom, and Coaching techniques. GSC offers individuals and group settings a confidential, gentle, and safe spiritually-integrated process to let go, let down, and rest.

Our cables are assembled by hand and with attention to every detail, they are also made to order. Mass production has one undeniable drawback: it is impossible to create the best within it. Manual cable assembly has its own specific advantages, which mainly relate to the mechanical aspects of the structure, related to reducing resonances of various origins and stresses. In machine production, these aspects cannot be treated uncompromisingly.
The sonic properties of cables are the result of their construction and the materials used for their production. The starting point, without which it would be impossible to achieve the quality standard that our cables represent, is the use of conductors with the best possible conductance, insulators with the lowest possible absorption of the energy of the transmitted signal, materials ensuring mechanical stability of the cables and, finally, shielding systems that effectively protect against electronic smog.
The conductors we use in the production process are made using the most advanced modern metallurgical technologies. The basic standard in this area is the technology that allows to obtain the perfect, monocrystalline metal structure in conductors - OCC (Ohno Continous Cast) technology. Without any grain, it is the only one that allows for a smooth and detailed signal transmission in a very wide range of frequencies, without any obstacles to the electrons flowing through the wire. From the very beginning of the KBL Sound company in 2013, we focused on this type of technology and we were then one of the few who used monocrystalline silver. Currently, more and more renowned cable manufacturers use this type of conductor in their best designs.
Our cables are in each case terminated with uncompromising connectors, made of the best conductive metals, including a special gold and silver alloy. We pay a lot of attention to this aspect of cable construction and we carefully select plugs for individual models so that their sound properties remain consistent.
As the final stage of production for most of our cables, we use a multi-day high-voltage conditioning process across the full frequency spectrum to achieve better clarity, musicality and resolution without the effect of fatigue, thus ensuring a shortening of the cable's "break-in" time in dedicated system, which usually takes a very long time.


title: Custom error pages

text:
If you have checked out many sites, you have probably encountered some error message every now and then. An error may take place in case the server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you need to log in so as to see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you are not able to access some page (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file which is not on the server (Error 404). Getting this kind of messages could often be frustrating as the pages have nothing in common with the actual website. That’s why some hosting service providers allow you to set your own error pages which will match the design of your own site and which can have any content which you would like - details why the error has occurred, a suggestion how to handle it or even some humorous comment. This sort of function shall help you keep the visitor on the site no matter the error and the reason for it.
Custom Error Pages in Shared Hosting
The personalized error pages function is available with every single
shared hosting package deal that we offer and you will be able to substitute all the generic pages with your own with no more than just a few mouse clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You shall need to produce the actual files and to upload them to your account, then to set them for a particular domain or subdomain through the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel. You may do this for each and every web site hosted inside the account independently, so that each group of customized pages shall have the exact same design and style as the Internet site it is part of. If needed, you could always revert back to a default page from our system or to a default Apache server page. Another way to set personalized error pages is to create an .htaccess file inside the domain/subdomain root folder and to include a few lines in it. If you haven't done this before, you can simply copy the necessary code from our Help article on this subject.
