title: The impact of indian premier league auctions on player valuation

text:
99exch, 99exch: IPL auctions have become a significant platform for cricket players to showcase their skills and potentially improve their market value. The intense bidding wars that take place during these auctions have a direct impact on the worth of the players, with teams willing to shell out large sums of money for talented individuals who can make a difference on the field.
The public spectacle of the IPL auctions not only elevates the players’ profiles but also plays a crucial role in determining their market value. The media frenzy surrounding these auctions adds to the players’ visibility and overall reputation, influencing the perception of their worth in the eyes of team owners and fans alike.
The intense bidding wars during IPL auctions highlight the demand for talented players in the cricketing world.
Players who perform well in the IPL and attract attention during the auctions often see a significant increase in their market value.
The media coverage of IPL auctions increases players’ visibility and can lead to lucrative endorsement deals off the field.
Team owners are willing to invest large sums of money in players who they believe can help them win matches and championships.
Factors Affecting Player Valuation in IPL Auctions
The valuation of players in IPL auctions is influenced by a combination of factors that contribute to determining their worth in the fiercely competitive bidding process. One significant factor is the player’s past performances in previous editions of the IPL, as a successful track record can significantly increase a player’s value and demand among franchises.
Another crucial factor that affects player valuation in IPL auctions is their overall skillset and specific strengths in the T20 format. Players who excel in areas such as batting, bowling, and fielding are likely to attract higher bids from franchises looking to bolster their squads with top talent. Additionally, players with unique abilities or match-winning potential often command higher prices as teams seek to secure their services for a competitive edge in the tournament.
Trends in Player Valuation in IPL Auctions
In recent years, the trends in player valuation in IPL auctions have witnessed a significant shift towards investing heavily in young talent. Teams are now more inclined to place higher bids on promising youngsters with potential rather than solely on experienced players. This strategic move reflects the teams’ focus on building a strong foundation for the future and nurturing fresh talent within their respective squads.
Moreover, the advent of data analytics and performance metrics has played a crucial role in determining player valuation in IPL auctions. Teams are now relying more on statistical analysis and player performance data to make informed decisions during the auction process. This data-driven approach has not only streamlined the valuation process but has also helped teams identify undervalued players who have the potential to make a significant impact on the field.

MA Dept of Agriculture: Got Seeds? Don’t Plant Them!
The U.S. Department of Agriculture and other agricultural agencies across the nation are warning people not to plant what could be an invasive species. Massachusetts residents are warned to be cautious of random packages of seeds that appear to be from China and other countries that have been appearing in mailboxes across the country.
According to iBerkshires.com the state Department of Agricultural Resources has been notified that several Massachusetts homes have received unsolicited packages that appear to have originated in a foreign country and contain seeds.
While investigators say the exact types of seeds in the packages are unknown, they are not thought to harmful for humans or pets, however they are thought to be invasive plant species and pose a significant risk to agriculture or the environment.
Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR) is asking residents who receive or who have received these random packages of seeds to not plant the seeds and immediately complete a form on MDAR's website to provide important information to state officials. Those who receive a package should hold on to the seeds and all packaging, including the mailing label. A representative from the U.S. Department of Agriculture or MDAR will be in contact with instructions regarding the collection or disposal of the seeds.

According to MDAR, "invasive plant species can threaten the integrity of local ecosystems and displace native plants, including rare and endangered species. The most effective approach to mitigating the risk of invasive plant infestation is to take steps to ensure they are not planted."
Over the past several days, unsolicited packages of seeds have been received by residents in several other states as well as Massachusetts. On Tuesday, July 28, the U.S. Department of Agriculture issued a press release announcing that it is working with state plant regulatory officials to investigate the situation.

Valleem Thetti Pulleem Thetti Review
The latest release in Mollywood is Valleem Thetti Pulleem Thetti aka Valliyum Thetti Pulliyum Thetti, which came from a debutant director named Rishi Sivakumar. The director had written the film as well. Kunchacko Boban plays the male lead in this film and the anticipation factor was another one. It is the debut of Shamili as heroine in Mollywood. Even though she had acted in a number of films here as child artist once, this film will be her first one here as a heroine. The trailer, songs and also the unique posters of the film had got great attention in social Media circles and created a level of expectation for the movie.
The story is set in the period around 1990’s. The plot revolves around a c-class theater and also a 10 day long festival in a village. The lead characters in this film is played by Kunchacko Boban and Shamili. Kunchacko Boban’s character is a projector operator at C Class theater named Sreedevi Talkies in a village named Peruvathukadavu. He is in love with a girl named Sreedevi as well who is a daughter of a landlord in that village popularly known as Bhagavan. Sreedevi talkies running in loss and the owner of the talkies, Madhavan (Renji Panicker) has to borrow money from Bhagavan (Suresh Krishna) to run the theater. So the plot revolves around Vinayan’s love affair with Sreedevi and their efforts to stop Bhagavan from getting that theater from Madhavan.
Rishi Sivakumar is made a decent debut as a director but something was missing somewhere. While watching the film we can see the inexperience of him as there were many portions in the film where the director loses his control over the narration. He had successfully presented a different background to the story but failed to make the audience to come fully in to that story. The screenplay raised only to an average level as there was many continuity issues between scenes and sometimes logic was not there as well. But there were some good moments too as some dialogues written by him for character like Gagan played by Krishna Shankar was hilarious.
When it come to the performance, Kunchacko Boban sizzled in dance and romance sequences. But he did not had much scope to perform in the movie. He looked younger and more energetic this time. Shamili really seemed like a miscast and she never lived up to the expectations with her performance. Her makeup was too heavy and it had affected the viewing experience while watching her performance on screen.
But the show stealers was Krishna Shankar aka Kichu who played the character Gagan. He was hilarious at many parts and got the applause from the audience. Aneesh G Menon also had done a great job after Drishyam. With his different look and dialogue delivery style he got the applause from the audience. Both Manoj K Jayan and Suresh Krishna had done a very good job as Neeru Rajan and Bhagavan. But Sreejith Ravi disappointed with a shabby performance. The screenplay had let him down we think. Renji Panicker, Mia George, Saiju Kuruppu etc also done a decent job in the film.
Kunjunni S Kumars visual was good at parts. But there are problems regarding the lighting and it affected the visuals. Soorej S Kuruppu was another find of this film. His music was so cool and romantic. The songs will remain in your heart even after you leave the cinema Hall.
On the whole, Valleem Theti Pulleem Thetti is one-time Watchable flick, which will not disappoint you if you go to the cinema hall with zero expectations.
Director : Rishi Sivakumar

title: Germany relations turkey cant go

text:
BERLIN — Germany issued a travel alert for Turkey on Thursday, citing “heightened danger” after the arrest of a German human rights campaigner in Istanbul and marking the latest in a string of incidents that have pushed tensions between Berlin and Ankara close to breaking point.
Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel voiced scathing criticism of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at a press conference, saying Ankara had “abandoned the ground of European values” by jailing “innocent visitors to their country on outrageous charges.” Gabriel added he believed that Turkey had also abandoned NATO’s common values.
Gabriel’s comments followed the arrest on July 5 of Peter Steudtner, a human rights activist from Berlin whom Turkish authorities accuse of supporting a terrorist organization. Steudtner was participating in a workshop with Amnesty International in Istanbul when he was taken into custody.
The minister also announced a wider shift in German-Turkish relations, saying the Turkish president had time and again shown he was not interested in engaging in dialogue. “It takes two to tango,” he said, adding “we can’t go on as before.”
Economy Minister Brigitte Zypries struck a similar tone in a statement emailed to POLITICO. “We are experiencing a nadir in German-Turkish economic relations,” she said.
Zypries said that she would “discuss with our European partners how to proceed. This applies to questions of economic aid for Turkey or the further development of the customs union [with the EU].”
Germany has so far trodden softly in its disputes with Ankara, although it remains unclear if Berlin’s approach has achieved its intended goals. Following Turkey’s decision to ban German parliamentarians from visiting an airbase in Incirlik, Germany decided in June to withdraw its troops.
“Time and again we showed great patience, when there were accusations which at times are unbearable for German ears, but things have changed,” Gabriel said. He said the arrest of Peter Steudtner proved that “anybody can be affected by random arrests”.
“We therefore have to redefine our policy on Turkey,” said Gabriel, who said this was also the view of Chancellor Angela Merkel and her Social Democrat challenger in September’s parliamentary election, Martin Schulz.
Gabriel said “enhanced alerts” that had so far been in place for certain professions — such as journalists — that could face danger in Turkey would now be extended to all German citizens. The website of the foreign ministry was updated to warn all Germans of possible arrests.
“Persons traveling to Turkey for private or business reasons are advised to be more cautious and to register, even for short stays, on the crisis list of German consulates,” the ministry said.

title: Developing data science approaches nanoparticle synthesis

text:
Typically, researchers attempting to synthesize specifically targeted particles of materials have had to rely on intuition or trial-and-error methods. This approach can be inefficient, requiring significant time and resource investments. Researchers employed data science and machine learning (ML) techniques to help streamline synthesis development for iron oxide particles. The trained model can predict potential particle size and phase for a set of experimental conditions, identifying promising and feasible synthesis parameters to explore. Additionally, the ML-based approach highlighted the importance of pressure on the final reaction outcome. This variable has been generally overlooked in many iron oxide nanoparticle synthesis attempts.
ML and data science are powerful tools to help make science more efficient, but can be challenging to effectively integrate and use. Deep collaboration between synthesis experts and data scientists led to an algorithm that can effectively identify the outcome of iron oxide particle synthesis. This new approach represents a shift in the way that researchers can approach synthesis, leading to faster and more effective development of particles with selected sizes and phases.
Synthesizing iron oxide particles to achieve desired phases and sizes has conventionally relied upon intuition and a time-consuming trial-and-error methodology. To overcome the ambiguities of this approach, researchers harnessed the power of data science and ML techniques to address two pivotal issues: identifying feasible experimental conditions and foreseeing potential particle characteristics for a given set of synthetic parameters. This innovative approach represents a paradigm shift for metal oxide particle synthesis, potentially markedly economizing the time and effort expended on ad hoc iterative synthesis approaches. By training the ML model on careful experimental characterization, the approach demonstrated remarkable accuracy in predicting iron oxide outcomes based on synthesis reaction parameters. The search and ranking algorithm yielded plausible reaction conditions to explore from the input dataset. It also revealed the previously overlooked importance of pressure applied during the synthesis on the resulting phase and particle size.

title: Basil basil and more basil

text:
We're supposed to be getting a cold spell later this week, so I've started to try to do a final harvest of anything in the garden that might not like the cold weather ... including my genovese basil.
Oh, how I love Basil!
Over this past weekend, I happily harvested almost 5 pounds of basil! Yes, I suppose that's quite a bit of basil for a family of 2, but, I'm pretty sure that you can never, ever have too much basil.
And, I have no doubt at all that we'll put every last morsel of it to very good use.
Back in the spring, I planted 3 different kinds of basil in the garden: genovese, cinnamon, and purple basil. We had crazy weather in early summer and the basil didn't really do that great ... it was ok, but it didn't meet my high expectations. Yes, I was kind of sad about it, but, I dealt with it ... after all, each year brings different successes and failures in the garden and we had bigger failures this year than a not-so-perfect basil harvest.
Then in July, I started another big batch of genovese basil (my favorite) seeds indoors and I planted them out in the garden in early to mid-August. The seedlings grew quickly in the August heat and I ended up with a mini-forest of basil. And everyone knows that a forest of basil is the best kind of forest you can have!
By early October, the plants had gotten quite tall -- 1-2 feet, probably. I had pinched them back in late August/early September, so the plants were also pretty bushy.
As a matter of fact, they were close to perfect!
But, they were starting to flower...
And I didn't want them to get any black spots or other damage from the cold, wintery weather we're supposed to be getting soon. I wanted them to stay perfect...
So, it was time to harvest the basil.
Just in case you are wondering, 5 pounds of fresh basil pretty much takes up an entire side of a divided sink. There was much basil washing, hanging, chopping, pesto making, and freezing yesterday ... the kitchen smelled wonderful the entire day.
I'll definitely be planting a late crop of basil again next year!

Sophie Podolski: The Country Where Everything Is Permitted
Opening on Saturday, April 21, from 4 to 9 pm
Curator: Caroline Dumalin (WIELS)

Villa Vassilieff presents the first exhibition dedicated to the Belgian artist Sophie Podolski in Paris, following its presentation at WIELS, Brussels earlier this year. Born in 1953 in Brussels, Sophie Podolski was, during her lifetime, mostly known as a poet, gathering the interest of the Parisian literary avant-garde. Her work is emblematic of a time marked by sexual liberation, anti-psychiatry and a disenchanted youth. In just a few years (between 1968 and 1974, the date of her suicide at the age of 21), she produced a remarkable graphic work, as well as a book: Le pays où tout est permis (The Country Where Everything Is Permitted) in 1972. This young self-taught scholar wrote in an expressive and provocative, unrestrained style about life, popular culture and the conformism of society.
While writing and drawing are almost inextricable for Podolski, during her lifetime she was mostly considered a poet. The exhibition focuses on her visual work and her very personal iconography to shed light on it through the presentation of works on paper, made in India ink, pastel and colored pencil, next to the pages of the original manuscript of her singular book. The exhibition also features the film Dans la Maison (du Montfaucon Research Center) directed by Joëlle de La Casinière, a friend of Sophie Podolski who has kept her works until today.
Sophie Podolski’s brief period of activity is characterized by radical social and cultural upheavals, which culminated in various European countries, including France and Belgium in May 1968, and suddenly changed the way the youth looked at society. The title of her book implicitly refers to the emancipatory struggle of a generation in search of self-determination. With her subjective and expressive language, Podolski is the voice of a counterculture that is once again fascinated by experimentation, imagination and the exploration of consciousness.
The personal life and practice of Sophie Podolski are closely linked to France where the publication of Le pays où tout est permis in 1972 earned her a critical recognition from literary and artistic circles. Her work was particularly supported by the writer Philippe Sollers and the historian of the Dada movement Marc Dachy, who presented her contributions respectively in the avant-garde French magazines Tel Quel and Luna-Park.
Sophie Podoloski was also a regular resident of the Montfaucon Research Center, a collective led by Joëlle de La Casinière and Michel Bonnemaison, based at 25, rue de l’Aurore. The history of this cosmopolitan artistic and intellectual community is reflected in Villa Vassilieff’s past and its programming.
Sophie Podolski: The Country Where Everything Is Permitted, was presented at WIELS, Brussels from January 20th to April 1st, 2018. The exhibition is produced by WIELS, Brussels, in partnership with Bétonsalon - Center for Art and Research and Villa Vassilieff / Pernod Ricard Fellowship, Paris.


title: Changes to summervilles mask ordinance in effect monday what this means for businesses

text:
SUMMERVILLE, S.C. (WCBD) – Changes to the Town of Summerville’s mask ordinance went into effect on Monday. Now, customers are no longer legally required to wear a mask when entering businesses in the town.
But the change doesn’t impact everyone.
Summerville Town Council voted last Thursday to change the mask ordinance which previously mandated everyone wear a mask.
Some businessowners, like Adam Haselkorn, who owns Benny Mazetto’s, said the town ordinance requiring masks for everyone seemed to work well. “It does a good job of helping people feel safer,” he said.
Haselkorn opened his Summerville location in the middle of the pandemic last December.
“Pretty crazy,” he recalled. “We decided to take on this project in late 2019. We didn’t know anything about COVID at that point. We just want to invest in Summerville.”
While masks are no longer required by the town, businesses can still require they be worn by customers if they would like.
But the town mandates those working in the business are still required to wear a mask or face covering.
Summerville Mayor Ricky Waring said some councilmembers wanted to eliminate the mask ordinance all together and compromised on only requiring employees to wear a mask—at least until their next meeting.
“We did away with that and now you can go in that store without a mask; the store manager and employees have to wear masks,” he said.
“I’m not sure the virus distinguishes between people who are working and people who aren’t,” said Haselkorn. “I don’t think it knows what side of the counter you’re on- so if they think it’s important for anybody to wear a mask, I’m not sure why not everybody.”
Mayor Waring said town council is scheduled to meet on April 8th, and at that point, they could decide to completely end the mask ordinance.

title: Club spotlight student air traffic controllers association

text:
The Student Air Traffic Controllers Association (SATCA) is a club for air traffic controllers and anyone with any aviation interest. They meet in the ATC simulator room in the SETA Annex and run simulations.
SATCA has existed since 2016 and has around 20 members. The club aims to introduce people to air traffic management and show that it is less intimidating than people think. Once people start messing around with the simulator, they commonly find it quite fun.
SATCA Secretary Colby Fox (’23) has witnessed the progress of the club over time.
“I’ve been on the E-Board for quite some time now and it’s been a blast,” said Fox. “I’ve got some good leadership skills from it and it has been a good way to stay connected to the aviation crew at SNHU.”
SATCA President Bobby Sedlatschek (’23) shared his experience with the logistical side of the club and what goes into running it.
“I’ve enjoyed the club very much,” said Sedlatschek. “It has been an excellent way to practice air traffic control scenarios in the simulator, as well as a way to make new friends. My fellow E-Board members and I have held movie nights, pizza parties, simulator sessions, giveaways, and much more over the course of the time I’ve been president of the club.”
Sedlatschek has been a part of SATCA for four years and is in his second year of being club president. He explains that there is a lot involved in air traffic control and the profession is always evolving.
“There is always something new to learn in the world of air traffic control, no matter how experienced you are,” said Sedlatschek.
SATCA meets biweekly on Tuesdays at 6:30pm in room 022 of the SETA Annex. For more information, email SATCA at firstname.lastname@example.org.

title: Semain dart in avignon october 2020

The Avignon Art Week is a quote, a reference.
This was the first name given in 1947 by Mayor Georges Pons and Jean Vilar to the event that would become the Avignon Festival.
From October 23 to November 1st, 7 shows will be presented in a dozen places in Avignon and its surroundings.
After the cancellation of the Festival d’Avignon this summer, it seemed obvious and necessary to participate in an autumn of the performing arts, so that artists, on the front line of the CoVid health crisis that we are experiencing, can continue to create and meet their public.
Thus, La Semaine des arts was born from October 23 to November 1: ten days of theater, dance, concerts, surprising encounters and acoustic naps ….
The doors are wide open to artists from the region.
An Art Week in Avignon by Olivier Py, director of the Festival d’Avignon
When it was created, the Festival did not yet have the name “Avignon Festival”. Its name was more modest and at the same time more poetic: “An Art Week in Avignon”. Then the word Festival prevailed without Jean Vilar, its founder, absolutely subscribing to it. Later, he dreamed of returning to another title, using the term “encounters” which he conceived of as the center of Avignon’s vocation.
However, if “Une Semaine d’art en Avignon” was a somewhat vague dream that the enthusiasm of Vilar and his team won, all the fundamental ideas that will make the Festival were already at work: to change art. to change the world, change the link with the public to redefine democracy, invent a new theater and a new citizenship, and beyond defining the contours of decentralization, the public service of culture and the democratization of knowledge.
At the time of confinement and in the dismay of the cancellation, we imagined with the Festival teams to find this original and perhaps original idea. We had to go back to the beginnings since the epidemic had reduced to nothing the 74th edition, and symbolically save what we could of this magnificent program, articulated around desire and death.
It is not a question of finding the whole edition in October, but only of inviting certain events in a new device out of the bubbling of July. After all, the first edition of the Festival was not summer either. In this subtraction from the summer sun, we hope to rediscover some of the thought that inaugurated our Festival and this trip will allow us together, artists, teams and the public, to think about what makes Avignon exceptional.
What should we do and what can we hope for?
First of all, we must dream of another way of hosting these shows, simpler and more humble, and invite the public to come back to the theaters to participate in this new adventure as if there had not been more than sixty – ten years of Festival. We can hope to create another fidelity to our ideas, to the artistic requirement and to our duty to the spectators.
Does anyone really know what this week’s more intimate and freer energy will look like? More friendly and cheerful? More introspective and rich in debate? It is not for us to think about it entirely since it is the happy consequence of a catastrophe.
In the rooms that are now available to us – La FabricA, the Benoît-XII Theater, the Chapelle des Pénitents blancs, the auditorium of La Collection Lambert, the Socio-cultural Complex of La Barbière in Avignon, Le Tinel de la Chartreuse in Villeneuve lez Avignon, the Salle des Fêtes in Barbentane, the Multipurpose Hall in Saze and the Camille Claudel Cultural Pole in Sorgues – and in a city and a more peaceful and always beautiful roaming, it will also be an opportunity to think again and again the place of the public.
It may also be an opportunity to give the local public, already very present in July, another opportunity for pride and fervor. Far from the hustle and bustle of summer, this moment of meeting will perhaps be more discreet but also more free, informal and invigorating.
Avignon will not stop surprising us in its way of summoning the present.
This week undoubtedly responds to a wish of each and every one, to continue the Festival beyond itself and its customs. Let us therefore rejoice to see the city and the spectacles with this fresh outlook and do not waste unnecessary time in nostalgia for the cicadas. Even if the health standards will produce some constraints here and there, we will undoubtedly find reason to hope for a future of the theater beyond the pandemic.
In the simplicity of sharing and the love of art, everything begins, everything continues, everything is invented. Who knows what the theater gods have in store for us?

Leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, political ildiological group of the current Kano ruling class, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has said that the issue of Kano Emirates will definitely be revisited.
Former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, with whom Kwankwaso is now member of Kano State Elders Council, had split the Kano emirate into five and dethroned the then Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi.
Following the victory of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) in March 18, 2023 governorship election, Kwankwaso had said the government of Engr Abba Kabir Yusuf would review the dethronement and balkanisation of the emirate.
Speaking in an interview granted to select radio stations in Kano, the former Kano State Governor reiterated that the issue of Kano emirates will definitely be revisited.
“Honestly it is one of the things that nobody has sat with me to discuss so far but I am sure we are going to sit and see how to go about it. Is it going to be allowed, demolished, corrected or whatever? It will be revisited, what’s supposed to be done will be done.
“There were a lot of things and this was a trap. All these things were not done in good faith or intention. It was brought with some bad intentions which everyone of you here and our listeners are aware of.
“Sometimes you come with things that are good and they turn out to be bad while sometimes you bring things that are bad and they turn out to be good. So, all I know is that I was not consulted as of now but definitely we will come to discuss and see what should be done.”
It has been observed that after the Supreme Court validated the victory of Governor Yusuf, there were intensified calls for the reinstatement of Sanusi.

As we announced in our January 2023 newsletter, starting February 1, 2023, the NYC Department of Buildings began accepting only Site Safety Training (SST) cards that had been issued through the NYC DOB Training Connect platform. These SST cards are required for all construction and demolition workers on the larger and more complex work sites across the City, which are required by law to have site safety supervision. DOB will now begin enforcing this requirement for updated NYC DOB Training Connect SST ID Cards on March 18th, 2023.
- Forensic engineering consultation regarding Labor Law 200, 240(1), and 241(6) claims, and supporting NYS Industrial Code Rule 23 provisions, regarding an incident involving the use of a drill on a ladder at a Queens, NY work site
- Expert witness testimony regarding the condition of a hospital loading dock where a worker was injured in Rockland County, NY
- Civil engineering consultation regarding the flow of runoff between adjacent residential properties located in Westchester County, NY
20 NYC Construction Workers Died on the Job in 2021, New Report Finds
On February 22nd The City reported that “twenty construction workers died on the job in New York City in 2021, a new report finds, with the pace of fatalities rising back to pre-pandemic levels after a year of industry shutdowns…In 2021, the rate in NYC was 11.2 per 100,000. That’s a 60% increase from 7 deaths per 100,000 in 2020 — the year that COVID began and construction slowed — when 13 workers died”…The group’s executive director, Charlene Obernauer, said the 60% death rate rise was “startling” and “significant.”…The report also points to staffing deficiencies for local and federal regulators, with the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) conducting 2,568 inspections in New York State in 2021 — down 42% from 2019…Obernauer said routine inspections help ensure employers know that regulators are watching…“Whenever we see cuts to departments that are responsible for safety, we become worried that there will be fewer inspections, fewer enforcements, and as a result, there will be more injuries and more fatalities,” she said. “We want to make sure that the department is fully staffed so that it can do its job.”.
Andrew R. Yarmus, P.E., F.NSPE, as an OSHA certified Forensic Engineering consultant, and as a Past Chair of the National Society of Professional Engineers PE’s in Construction Interest Group, has helped to facilitate discussions between Professional Engineers across the country on important matters such as safety in both industry and construction.

Understand rust and how it affects the structural integrity and durability of used shipping containers.
Rust is often misunderstood, viewed as a sign of decay or deterioration. However, when it comes to shipping containers, rust is not necessarily a flaw but rather a natural patina that doesn’t compromise the structure or its function. Just as an old brick or truck with a well-earned patina tells a story of resilience and craftsmanship, a shipping container adorned with rust reflects its durability and journey through time.
While we recognize that there are plenty of items that you wish not to purchase with rust (a bike, pipes for plumbing, a cast iron pan) a Corten Steel made for oceanic transport and secure global trade logistics, is perfectly functional with a little sign of aging.
As many learn in grade school, rust is a chemical reaction known as oxidation. It occurs when iron or iron-containing alloys, such as steel, react with oxygen and water, forming iron oxide—the substance responsible for rust. The rate at which rust develops depends on factors like humidity, temperature, and exposure to salts. Because all shipping containers originate from China and undergo oceanic transport, rust is extremely common regardless of their age.
Shipping containers are built to withstand the harshest environments, from the salty sea air to extreme temperature variations. Made from Corten steel, also known as weathering steel, these containers are specifically designed to develop a stable, protective layer of rust. Unlike ordinary rust that weakens metal, the patina formed on Corten steel acts as a shield, slowing down further corrosion and maintaining the structural integrity of the container. This controlled oxidation process ensures that the container remains strong and functional for years, even with visible rust on its surface.
Just like an old truck that proudly wears its weathered paint and rusted spots as a badge of honor, a shipping container with a rusty exterior tells a story of endurance and reliability. Rather than being seen as a flaw, rust should be embraced as a natural element that adds character. Each patch of rust is unique, creating an organic pattern that highlights the journey the container has taken, whether it has traveled across the world or served as a reliable storage unit.
A rusted surface doesn’t mean a shipping container was poorly made; in fact, it often indicates the opposite. A well-built container ages gracefully, just as classic vehicles with strong steel bodies do. The presence of rust signifies that the steel was robust enough to last long enough to develop this natural patina. Unlike cheaply made materials that corrode beyond repair, high-quality steel develops rust in a way that preserves rather than destroys.
With the growing trend of repurposing shipping containers into onsite mobile offices, and creative spaces, many designers and architects intentionally leave the rust intact to maintain an industrial aesthetic. The rustic appeal of aged metal adds depth, warmth, and authenticity to a structure, proving that rust is not something to be hidden but celebrated. It tells a story, provides texture, and enhances the visual appeal of repurposed containers.
It is a testament to strength, durability, and history! In the case of shipping containers, rust does not compromise function but instead showcases the resilience and craftsmanship of these steel structures. Just as an old, well-loved truck proudly wears its rust as a sign of a life well-lived, a rusted shipping container tells a story of endurance. Instead of fearing rust, we should appreciate it as nature’s way of adding character and preserving the essence of well-made materials.
To explore others treasures that were built to last, check out 29 Palms Inn in California. The generational owners, the Grunt Family, shared that “the best things here at 29 Palms Inn, are the oldest. They were built to last.”
Ready to see past the imperfections? Explore a rusty 20ft or 40ft decommissioned shipping container for storage or creative building!
"Wind and watertight" (WWT) is a term commonly used to describe the condition of a shipping container or structure. It means that:
**Windproof **– The container or structure is sealed against wind penetration, preventing drafts or air leakage. **Watertight **– It does not allow water to enter, protecting the contents from rain, leaks, and moisture.
However, "wind and watertight" does not necessarily mean the container is in perfect condition. It may have cosmetic damage like dents, rust, or scratches, but it will still keep out wind and water. This classification is often used for second-hand shipping containers that are no longer suitable for cargo transport but are still usable for storage or other purposes.
Unfortunatley, due to safety and security it is not possible for you to pick your color container. The way the containers are stacked at the depot make it difficult to pick. Also the carrier is asked to pick the quality over the color during inpection. Please note most used containers will have a faded patina due to time as sea and are more commonly are orange, red, white, blue and yellow.
The history of the shipping container is a fascinating story of innovation that revolutionized global trade. Here’s a breakdown of its key developments:
Early Shipping Methods
The Birth of the Modern Shipping Container (1950s)
Standardization and Global Adoption (1960s-1970s)
Shipping Boom and Globalization (1980s-Present)

It is estimated that 10% of Americans suffer from heel pain. The most common cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis and ranks #3 on the list of most common running-related injuries. This is what led Groucho Marx to remark, “Time wounds all heels.” Fortunately, effective treatments for heel pain are available and 85% of patients can improve without surgery.
The Plantar Fascia
The arch is supported by muscles, tendons, ligaments, and a structure called the plantar fascia. This fascia is a very strong, ligament-like structure that attaches to the bottom of the heel bone and spans out to the bottom of the toe joints. It does not stretch when placed under tension. The fascia is only capable of stretching 4-5% before it begins to tear. With every step we take, the plantar fascia is placed under tension on average anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 times every day.
The most common cause of heel pain is inflammation of the plantar fascia, or plantar fasciitis. This inflammation causes pain in the fascia, heel bone, adjacent muscles and nerves. This is primarily an overuse injury associated with increases in activity, shoes, or body weight. In addition, sudden strains or injuries of the arch or heel can lead to fasciitis. In some cases, compensation for another foot or leg pain can cause overuse of the plantar fascia.
Typically, plantar fasciitis is painful with the first steps after resting, including getting out of bed in the morning. This occurs because the muscles in the feet and leg have been relaxed during rest. Pain then occurs when the fascia is placed under sudden tension after these periods of rest or inactivity. The pain will improve after walking because the muscles “loosen up.” However, the pain will often return and worsen the longer we are on our feet.
A related problem to fasciitis is a condition called fasciosis. This problem can begin in as short as four weeks after the onset of heel pain. The difference between fasciitis and fasciosis is the whether the plantar fascia is normal in thickness and texture. Fasciitis is an acute inflammatory problem, whereas fasciosis is a chronic (longer duration) problem that involves small tears, scarring, thickening, and damage to the fascia. In some cases, both fasciitis and fasciosis are present at the same time.
Treatment for plantar fasciitis is based upon two primary goals: reduce inflammation, reduce the strain in the fascia. Treatment typically includes: ice massage, roller massage, anti-inflammatory medication, cortisone injections, calf and arch stretches, arch supports, good shoes, heel pads, physical therapy, taping, night splints, or finally surgery. Generally, surgery is considered after three months or more of failed conservative treatment. The surgeries are outpatient and recovery takes six to twelve weeks.
This information is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any injury or disease. It is intended to serve as an overview of running-related injuries and should not be used as a substitute for sound medical advice from a doctor or therapist.

CHL launches short-term let mortgage range
CHL Mortgages has unveiled a new five-year fixed rate mortgage range aimed at the short-term let market.
There are five-year deals available up to 65 per cent loan to value (LTV). The range includes a rate of 3.5 per cent, with a 2.5 per cent arrangement fee, or a 3.8 per cent rate with a one per cent fee.
Borrowers with smaller deposits can opt for the 75 per cent LTV deals instead, which also come with two fee options. The lower 3.75 per cent rate comes with a two per cent arrangement fee, but they can also opt for a 3.95 per cent rate with a one per cent fee.
CHL will consider properties intended to be let through Airbnb as a holiday let or serviced apartment. A valuer will however need to confirm that the property could be occupied under an assured shorthold tenancy (AST), that the interest coverage ration calculation fits based on the market rent achievable through an AST, and that the property would be in demand from both owner-occupiers and investors.
CHL’s expansion into short-term let follows its recent introduction of a new product range for large houses in multiple occupancy (HMO) and multi-unit freehold blocks (MUFB).
Ross Turrell (pictured), commercial director at CHL Mortgages, said that following an “exceptional” Q1, the lender is looking to evolve its proposition based on feedback from brokers and demand from landlords.
How to get your first-time buyer clients mortgage ready
He said: “When entering any new product area, it’s vital to do so from a solid lending platform. We feel that adding a competitive range of short-term let products will deliver further options and opportunities for our intermediary partners to better service the ever-changing needs of landlord clients looking to diversify portfolios and maximise yields.”

title: Wedding gifts for the happy couple

text:
Picture this… The wedding invite drops onto your doormat. You open it, and for a moment, you’re so excited to be invited to somebody’s special day. Then the dread sets in. What on earth should you buy them for a wedding gift? Well, fear not, this blog post will give you plenty of ideas about what to buy for the happy couple.
Personalized gifts are the perfect option.
Often, wedding gifts are all about giving the couple something to keep and treasure. Personalized gifts are the ideal way to do that. A favourite of mine, that I’ll be sure to add to my own (Gift Whale) wish list, is a set of personalized wine glasses, or champagne glasses if I’m feeling particularly fancy. Something like these Champagne Glasses would go down a treat. You can buy personalized portraits, cushions, mugs, and pretty much anything else you can think of. They’re super keepsakes and are sure to thrill the bride and groom.
If you want to be different, I know some of you do, then purchasing an experience as a gift is an option for you. Gift experiences for a Luxury Las Vegas Escape, Hot Air Ballooning, or whatever else you think the couple would love, are ideal because it gives them something to do together. I’ll let you in on a secret, after the wedding, there’s often a comedown. Experience gifts give the newlyweds something else to look forward to and make you look like a fairy godmother (win-win).
Something from their registry.
You can’t go wrong by buying a gift from their registry, they clearly wanted it because they asked for it. Bonus points if their wedding wish list/registry is with GiftWhale because it makes the whole experience tons easier. Popular gifts include Classic Bath Towels and Coffee Makers, although you can’t go wrong with a nice Casserole Dish, in my humble opinion.
A subscription service.
If you know the bride and groom are into craft beer, then buy them a Craft Beer Subscription. If the bride and groom are big plant lovers, then buy them a Plant Subscription. If they’re too busy to cook, but you know they want to, then buy them a Meal Subscription. Can you tell I’m a huge fan of subscription services? There’s something out there for everybody, and who doesn’t like getting mail each month/week?
If in doubt...
Ask them what they’d like. Or, better yet, ask them to set up a Gift Whale wish list.
If you have no idea at all, and this blog post hasn’t helped, then simply ask. At the end of the day, it’s the thought that counts. You’re special enough to the happy couple that you’ve been invited to share their special day with them. I’m sure that whatever gift you buy, they will appreciate it.


title: Progressive rock group nok novum shares galvanizing ominous kyle taken from just released sophomore lp ii

text:
Canadian instrumental band, Nok Novum, are embracing their diverse range of influences and dynamism as a progressive metal group on their long awaited sophomore album, II. Recorded over several years, II finds the band leaning into the production value of their 2015 singles, while reflecting the creativity of the writing seen in their 2012 debut, a fusion of 70s progressive rock, jazz-fusion, and heavy metal.
II features the sinister and wide ranging focus track, “Ominous Kyle,” which is energizing as much as it is unnerving.
This is a good one to head bang to if you’re into that! “Ominous Kyle” is that frightening figure that plays a recurring role in your nightmares. He’s haunting, morbid, terrifying, and you just can’t shake him out. The track was written as a stream of energetic passages punctuated with a motif that’s hammering nature draws you in early in the track and repeats throughout. Tonally, this track has an eerie, nightmarish quality. – Brady Mason, drummer and co-founder of Nok Novum
Formed in early 2008, Nok Novum is an instrumental band from Canada. The band was originally conceived as a two-piece, with guitarist Grant Cooper and drummer Brady Mason. After years of developing a textured sound, Nok Novum released their self-titled debut album in 2012. It cleverly fuses 70s progressive rock, jazz-fusion, and heavy metal, creating a sound that is chaotic yet mesmerizing.
With the addition of Scott Giffin on guitar and Cam Dougall on bass in late 2013, Nok Novum proved themselves to be one of the top live acts in the Calgary metal scene. The band’s live show was like no other. Seamlessly combining mesmerizing video with music, Nok Novum’s goal was to create a stimulating auditory and visual experience for the audience.
In 2015, the band released two singles, “Shiryō” and “Ghost Farmer,” both of which garnered critical acclaim and success for the band among fans and industry peers alike. Since 2016, they have taken a step back to focus on their individual careers, raise families, as well as taking time to patiently record their highly anticipated sophomore release; II.

title: Ai machines may take over but not yet patents ruling

text:
Artificial intelligence may be advanced but, at least so far as patent law is concerned, it has yet to overcome the human monopoly on inventiveness. The point was made by a Court of Appeal test case concerning devices that were said to have been invented by a machine without any need for human input.
The creator of an AI machine applied to the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) for a grant of patents in respect of a food container and a form of flashing light. On the application forms, the machine was identified as the inventor of the devices. The applicant eschewed any claim to inventorship and asserted that the devices were entirely and solely conceived by the machine.
There was no suggestion that he had filled in the forms other than in accordance with his genuine and honest beliefs. The IPO, however, treated the applications as having been withdrawn on the basis that his statements of inventorship failed to satisfy Section 13(2) of the Patents Act 1977. The applicant's challenge to that decision was subsequently rejected by a judge.
Dismissing his appeal against that outcome, the Court found that, on a true reading of the Act, only a natural person can be an inventor. The machine had no legal personality or capacity and any assertion that it had assigned its rights in respect of the devices to the applicant was therefore a legal impossibility. As a matter of law, he could not derive a right to be granted the patents from his ownership of the machine.
The applicant did not identify any person or persons whom he believed to be the inventor or inventors of the devices, as required by Section 13(2)(a) of the Act. On the contrary, he deliberately identified a non-person. Having failed to comply with the statutory requirements, the fact that he genuinely believed that the machine was the inventor was neither here nor there.


title: Nasas k2 mission the kepler space telescopes second chance to shine

text:
The engineers huddled around a telemetry screen, and the mood was tense. They were watching streams of data from a crippled spacecraft more than 50 million miles away -- so far that even at the speed of light, it took nearly nine minutes for a signal to travel to the spacecraft and back.
It was late August 2013, and the group of about five employees at Ball Aerospace in Boulder, Colorado, was waiting for NASA's Kepler space telescope to reveal whether it would live or die. A severe malfunction had robbed the planet-hunting Kepler of its ability to stay pointed at a target without drifting off course.
The engineers had devised a remarkable solution: using the pressure of sunlight to stabilize the spacecraft so it could continue to do science. Now, there was nothing more they could do but wait for the spacecraft to reveal its fate.
"You're not watching it unfold in real time," said Dustin Putnam, Ball's attitude control lead for Kepler. "You're watching it as it unfolded a few minutes ago, because of the time the data takes to get back from the spacecraft."
Finally, the team received the confirmation from the spacecraft they had been waiting for. The room broke out in cheers. The fix worked! Kepler, with a new lease on life, was given a new mission as K2. But the biggest surprise was yet to come. A space telescope with a distinguished history of discovering distant exoplanets -- planets orbiting other stars -- was about to outdo even itself, racking up hundreds more discoveries and helping to usher in entirely new opportunities in astrophysics research.
"Many of us believed that the spacecraft would be saved, but this was perhaps more blind faith than insight," said Tom Barclay, senior research scientist and director of the Kepler and K2 guest observer office at NASA's Ames Research Center in California's Silicon Valley. "The Ball team devised an ingenious solution allowing the Kepler space telescope to shine again."
The discoveries roll in
A little more than two years after the tense moment for the Ball engineers, K2 has delivered on its promise with a breadth of discoveries. Continuing the exoplanet-hunting legacy, K2 has discovered more than three dozen exoplanets with more than 250 candidates awaiting confirmation. A handful of these worlds are near-Earth-sized and orbit stars that are bright and relatively nearby compared with Kepler discoveries, allowing scientists to perform follow-up studies. In fact, these exoplanets are likely future targets for the Hubble Space Telescope and the forthcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), with the potential to study these planets' atmospheres in search of signatures indicative of life.
K2 also has astronomers rethinking long-held planetary formation theory, and the commonly understood lonely "hot Jupiter" paradigm. The unexpected discovery of a star with a close-in Jupiter-sized planet sandwiched between two smaller companion planets now has theorists back at their computers reworking the models, and has sent astronomers back to their telescopes in search of other hot Jupiter companions.
"It remains a mystery how a giant planet can form far out and migrate inward leaving havoc in its wake and still have nearby planetary companions," said Barclay.
Like its predecessor, K2 searches for planetary transits -- the tiny, telltale dip in the brightness of a star as a planet crosses in front -- and for the first time caught the rubble from a destroyed exoplanet transiting across the remains of a dead star known as a white dwarf. Exoplanets have long been thought to orbit these remnant stars, but not until K2 has the theory been confirmed.
K2 has fixed its gaze on regions of the sky with densely packed clusters of stars, which has revealed the first transiting exoplanet in such an area, popularly known as the Hyades star cluster. Clusters are exciting places to find exoplanets because stars in a cluster all form around the same time, giving them all the same "born-on" date. This helps scientists understand the evolution of planetary systems.
The repurposed spacecraft boasts discoveries beyond the realm of exoplanets. Mature stars -- about the age of our sun and older -- largely populated the original single Kepler field of view. In contrast, many K2 fields see stars still in the process of forming. In these early days, planets also are assembled, and by looking at the timescales of star formation, scientists gain insight into how our own planet formed.
Studies of one star-forming region, called Upper Scorpius, compared the size of young stars observed by K2 with computational models. The result demonstrated fundamental imperfections in the models. While the reason for these discrepancies is still under debate, it likely shows that magnetic fields in stars do not arise as researchers expect.
Looking in the ecliptic -- the orbital path traveled around the sun by the planets of our solar system and the location of the zodiac -- K2 also is well equipped to observe small bodies within our own solar system such as comets, asteroids, dwarf planets, ice giants and moons. Last year, for instance, K2 observed Neptune in a dance with its two moons Triton and Nereid. This was followed by observations of Pluto and Uranus.
"K2 can't help but observe the dynamics of our planetary system," said Barclay. "We all know that planets follow laws of motion but with K2 we can see it happen."
These initial accomplishments have come in the first year and a half since K2 began in May 2014, and have been carried off without a hitch. The spacecraft continues to perform nominally.
Searching for far out worlds
In April, K2 will take part in a global experiment in exoplanet observation with a special observing period or campaign, Campaign 9. In this campaign, both K2 and astronomers at ground-based observatories on five continents will simultaneously monitor the same region of sky towards the center of our galaxy to search for small planets, such as the size of Earth, orbiting very far from their host star or, in some cases, orbiting no star at all.
For this experiment, scientists will use gravitational microlensing -- the phenomenon that occurs when the gravity of a foreground object, such as a planet, focuses and magnifies the light from a distant background star. This detection method will allow scientists to find and determine the mass of planets that orbit at great distances, like Jupiter and Neptune do our sun.
Design by community
What could turn out to be one of the most important legacies of K2 has little to do with the mechanics of the telescope, now operating on two wheels and with an assist from the sun.
The Kepler mission was organized along traditional lines of scientific discovery: a targeted set of objectives carefully chosen by the science team to answer a specific question on behalf of NASA -- how common or rare are "Earths" around other suns?
K2's modified mission involves a whole new approach -- engaging the scientific community at large and opening up the spacecraft's capabilities to a broader audience.
"The new approach of letting the community decide the most compelling science targets we're going to look at has been one of the most exciting aspects," said Steve Howell, the Kepler and K2 project scientist at Ames. "Because of that, the breadth of our science is vast, including star clusters, young stars, supernovae, white dwarfs, very bright stars, active galaxies and, of course, exoplanets."
In the new paradigm, the K2 team laid out some broad scientific objectives for the mission and planned to operate the spacecraft on behalf of the community.
Kepler's field of view surveyed just one patch of sky in the northern hemisphere. The K2 ecliptic field of view provides greater opportunities for Earth-based observatories in both the northern and southern hemispheres, allowing the whole world to participate.
With more than two years of fuel remaining, the spacecraft's scientific future continues to look unexpectedly bright.
Ames manages the Kepler and K2 missions for NASA's Science Mission Directorate. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, managed Kepler mission development. Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corporation operates the flight system with support from the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado in Boulder.

As cloud expansion is happening bringing in cross compatibility, cloud administrators are looking to integrate applications and workloads with the cloud using application programming interfaces or APIs. With new advancements in technology new use cases have been emerging to facilitate development of cloud APIs. Choice of selecting suitable cloud model and right API is a complex task.
In today’s topic we will learn about cloud labor API, what is the purpose for which cloud labor API is used?
Before we learn about cloud labor API lets look in general what an API does and how they function. API is a collection of subroutines and communication protocols used by various applications for their communication. A programmer can make use of API tools to make its programs easier and simpler. API facilitates helps applications communicate with each other with necessary tools and functions. A typical API working is depicted in figure 1.
The request is initiated via an API URL (Uniform resource identifier). API makes a call to server post receiving the request. The server sends the response to API with the information and API transfers data to the client.
What is Cloud Labor API?
The cloud labor API is developed by Square. It is a timekeeping component for team management APIs used to integrate Square point of Sales timekeeping with applications for reporting of labor costs, worker overtime management and payroll. The labor API can be used to integrate time clock application with a Square account for labor reporting on seller dashboard or payroll.
Multiple paid or unpaid breaks per shift are supported by labor API. Team management tasks can be undertaken using labor API along with team API. Such as using labor API shifts can be created and job details are picked up from team API. The labor API can be used to record team member labor hours or to perform import and export of time data to applications. Shift records created which are visible in seller dashboard using labor API. The workday and labor & tips page show work day hours completed and recorded by API as depicted in figure below.
- Tracking labor hours – it records start, end and break time for a team member work shift. Sets an hourly wage rate for a shift based on job description that member is doing in the shift, sets break templates with human readable titles, default duration and payroll status for standardization of shifts team member working in.
- Import / export labor hours – Labor shift API search endpoint can be used to get labor hour data in a pay period to use in payroll system. Import shift data into Square account as shift records. Generate labor and sales reports in seller dashboard and pay team members. The labor API is available as server-side-development (set of REST endpoints)
