title: Cancer support therapy

text:
We specialize in the management of symptoms that occur during and post cancer treatment such as chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. We use a highly developed formula of Bowen therapy and acupuncture. It is gentle and natural. This is so beneficial for the healing and recovery process. It is not necessary to just go through the cancer treatment and suffer the side effects. You can give your body the help it needs to get through it easily and feel strong, healthy and pain free.
The most common symptoms that we can help with include-
There are various causes of cancer related pain but in all cases it is the nerves that are dys-regulated and sending a signal to the brain to say there is a problem there and then you experience pain as a result. Our treatment works on regulating the nerve system and this speeds up the body's natural healing process to recover from the cancer treatment.
Pain from a tumour- When a tumour presses on nerves, an organ or bone it causes pain. The location of the tumour will determine the severity of the pain. Usually the pain is more severe when when it is pressing on the nerves.
Pain post-chemotherapy or radiation- Pain is a side effect of these therapies. Often the immune system is compromised in people with cancer from undergoing chemotherapy or radiation and this makes pain more likely to occur.
Pain post-surgery- This pain is usually acute but short term.
Q- Are there any side effects?
A- There are no side effects from our therapy. The therapy has a regulatory effect to control the symptoms, not create more.
Q- Will this therapy interfere with my conventional medical treatment?
A- No. The therapy is to facilitate normality to your life during or after your cancer treatment.
Q- What does this therapy aim to achieve?
A- This therapy is in essence a natural approach to control the side effects of cancer treatment such as pain, nausea, headaches and fatigue by regulating the nerve system involved in the problem area using natural therapies including Bowen therapy, acupuncture and Naturopathy.
Q- How many treatments do I need?
A- Usually between 2 and 5 treatments to control neuropathy symptoms. Fatigue may take more treatments. We can determine what is needed for your specific case after evaluation.
Q- What is the cost of the treatments and are they covered by private health funds?
A- Each treatment costs $85 and we are registered with all private health funds. (note- NIB only includes Bowen therapy in their older policies)

CC Agility offers training at all levels. Training is based on positive reward based methods.
When a new foundation class starts we aim to progress everybody in the class at the same rate. This means we can keep everyone in the class together and keep your class on the same day at the same time as much as possible. However if your personal circumstances change or you progress at a different rate we will always be supportive and try our best to make sure we can accommodate you. We pride ourself on small class sized with a maximum of 6 dogs per class.
All of our equipment is Kennel Club standard equipment, including Galician contact equipment.
Our foundation classes are for dogs who have never done any kind of agility. (basic obedience required) All equipment will be on the lowest height or flat on the floor to begin with. These classes are suitable for dogs from 7-8 months old and onwards. These classes will include all the foundation skills you and your dog will need to learn in order to progress further. A lot of this will start as flatwork exercises before being put onto jumps in the future. You will learn about different handling manoeuvres, tunnels, dog walk plank, wing wraps and more. Towards the end of the term you will aim to do some short sequences.This is an 8 week course.
Beginner classes are suitable for dogs who have already been introduced to some of the equipment on a lower height or the ground. Your dog may now start to do more sequences and learn some more independence learning to go ahead, find tunnels on queue, add more distance etc. As your dog progresses you will aim to be able to do longer sequences which involve turns, change of direction and hand changes.
These classes are for dogs who are working on harder skills and learning to weave. We will practise speeding up your dog, proofing of contacts, weave entries and basic course handling and walking.
Approximately grade 1-3
Fit & Fun
These classes are run for dogs that are able to do all equipment at the correct height.. but are not wanting to compete. As the name indicates these are fun classes which you and your dog enjoy. Although it is aimed to be fun you will still be trained properly to ensure everything is trained safely and correctly. Should you decide to compete in the future you know your dog has been trained with the skills they need.
These classes are suitable for dogs who are aiming to compete or already compete. Classes will vary to be grade appropriate working on various areas, learning new skills, working on handling, finding the best routes on a course for your dog etc
Give your dog a one-on-one training session that caters to their specific needs. These lessons may be suitable for your dog if they are not able to be in a class environment, or you feel you need to work on something individually.
Private lessons are available throughout the week and at weekends please contact Tanisha for booking.

Update on Arran ferry study
The Minister for Transport and the Islands has asked for representations on a report, looking at mainland berthing options for the Arran ferry service.
The report has been produced following a study which looked at the two options objectively, taking into account a broad range of factors including the impact on users in terms of travel time, fares, and connectivity, as well as reliability and the costs to the public purse.
A copy of the report has been shared with all relevant parties and they now have 14 days to respond.
Ministers have noted that the report supports the view that the mainland port for the ferry should remain at Ardrossan but, before any decision is made, they wish to receive representations.
Humza Yousaf said:
“My officials at Transport Scotland commissioned this report, following consultation with all relevant parties and stakeholders.
“We have looked at the options under four broad pillars: Connectivity, Reliability, Overall Cost to the Public Purse and Socio-Economic considerations.
“At this stage, the report supports the view that the mainland port for the ferry serving Brodick and Campeltown should remain at Ardrossan. However, before any decision is made, Ministers wish to offer an opportunity for representations in light of the report.
“This invitation is being issued to Associated British Ports at Troon, Peel Ports at Ardrossan, Argyll & Bute Council, North Ayrshire Council and South Ayrshire Council.
“The Scottish Government is committed to supporting our lifeline ferry links. This study will help support careful and robust decision-making towards ensuring that the Arran ferry service is fit for purpose, whilst also getting the best value for the public purse.”

text:
Don’t modify Time.fixedDeltaTime
(unless you understand what you’re doing, and have a specific reason to do it). Also, don’t use it in scripts in place of Time.deltaTime
will have the correct value when inside the physics loop (FixedUpdate). Time.fixedDeltaTime
is a setting; not meant to be used as a parameter for doing stuff. The time-related stuff meant to be used will only have getters, and no setters.
Interpolation will smoothly move objects between the last fixed-update’s state (position, rotation, velocity, etc) and the current one, at the rate of fixedUpdate. This makes the movement smooth, but introduces a bit of “lag”, as objects take a physics frame to reach the state where they would normally already be at if not being interpolated. There can also be a “weirdness” to collisions, noticeable in slow-motion, as the previous state can be pre-collision, while current state can be post-collision, and so the interpolation can have inconsistent speed (slow down before collision, and/or “bounce” without visually colliding).
Extrapolation will smoothly move objects between the current fixed-upate’s state and an extrapolation (prediction) of the next state. This has the opposite problem of interpolation, as moving objects can be “visually ahead of where they are physically”, and overlap a bit (more than usual) before collisions are actually detected.
You can make a quick experiment to visualize this. Put 3 cubes side-by-side at a height (y) of 8, make a plane (at y 0) with a physics material with bounciness set to full (1) and to use the maximum as the bounce combine behaviour. Give all the cubes a Rigidbody component. Set one of the cubes to interpolate, another to extrapolate, and leave the third with “None”. Go to Edit - Project Settings - Time, and set the timescale to something like 0.05 (5%). Click play and watch what happens.
The cube without interpolation represents the true physics position of the object, and does small “teleports” as the physics loop (FixedUpdate) updates it.
The cube with interpolation lags behind the “real” cube a bit, and the “real” cube updates just as it catches up.
The cube with extrapolation goes ahead of the “real” cube a bit, and the “real” cube updates just as it gets “too far” ahead.
As for making things look smooth in slow-motion:
The “explosions” you’re experiencing are probably because the overlaps between colliders that are used for collision-detection. You have to remember that the physics engine pushes objects away from eachother if they are overlapped. And an overlap considered small for a longer/higher fixedDeltaTime might be, and probably is, considered large on a shorter/lower fixedDeltaTime. Or at least you can think of it like that. Technically speaking, what is actually happening is probably that, upon changing the fixedDeltaTime while things are overlapping just a bit, that overlap is now taking multiple physics frames to “push out”, and each attempt of the physics engine to push the objects out of the overlap is adding force, which accumulates, and when the objects separate, they “explode” away from eachother, rather than just separate.
If you make sure objects are not overlapping when you change the fixedDeltaTime, or if you have a lower fixedDeltaTime from the start (strongly recommended) rather than changing it at runtime, this will probably not happen.

title: Rtms awareness self referral

text:
In a recent radio interview, UK Health Radio asked how widely understood rTMS – Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation treatment is in the UK medical community.
Dr Neal explained that this is still relatively new:
“Most doctors in the country don’t know much about this treatment, so most general practitioners and most psychiatrists don’t have much expertise in this area of treatment. There are very few practitioners in the UK that know anything about it.”
Self-Referral for TMS Treatment
With low awareness in the medical community, the presenter enquired about how patients could access treatment through self-referral. Dr Neal replied:
“We’re happy for people to self-refer themselves to our clinic for a discussion about the treatment. We’re obviously quite happy for them to discuss it with their own treating psychologists/psychiatrists or GPs.
“We’re more than happy for people to self-refer, because we are aware that generally in the country there’s not much knowledge about it and they probably need to speak to us to get a proper understanding of the risks and benefits…
“We certainly keep their teams informed – yes – we write letters to them at the beginning and end of treatment and make sure there’s continuity of care between the treatment we’re providing and the treatment they’ve got provided anywhere else; but we are quite happy for patients to have treatment with us if they’re already undergoing treatment with other psychiatrists or psychologists or general practitioners elsewhere, so we’re happy to treat people concurrently with whatever they’re having from some other source.”
Screening assessment includes completion of a variety of forms, as well as a verbal discussion to understand past and ongoing treatments to ensure that the patient is suitable for treatment.
Dr Leigh Neal – TMS on UK Health Radio
UK health radio specialises in publishing informative and relevant health topics and ran an extensive feature on rTMS with interview with Dr Leigh Neal.
Dr Leigh Neal explains how rTMS – Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation – actually works.
“…we stimulate the brain through the left frontal region, so that’s the left area just above the eye. We know that that particular area of the brain doesn’t work as efficiently in patients who’ve got a depressive episode and we know that from brain scan studies.” Read more →

This market report provides a comprehensive overview of the Mobile Network Operator and MVNO segment of the telecom market across the 34 countries in Asia.
Researcher:- Phil Harpur
Current publication date:- June 2019 (15th Edition)
Asia is arguably the world’s most diverse region with regards to its telecoms industry. The region contains a vast array of countries, ranging from those with highly mature and advanced telecommunications markets, that are world leaders in the move towards 5G and next generation fibre networks, such as South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan, to some of the poorest and least developed countries such as North Korea and Afghanistan.
Asia’s mobile subscriber market is now witnessing moderate growth in a fast maturing market.
In early 2019 all three of South Korea’s mobile network operators – SK Telecom, KT Corp and LG Uplus launched commercial 5G services to consumers.
China is also highly active in its progression towards a 5G launch. All three major mobile operators – China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom are preparing for 5G launches.
Whilst there are still developing markets continuing to grow their mobile subscriber base at moderate to high annual rates, there are few countries left in Asia with significantly underdeveloped mobile markets and low mobile penetration rates.
In 2019 market penetration is anticipated to reach well over 100%. The stronger mobile subscriber growth rate in emerging markets is evident in countries including Bhutan and North Korea. In contrast developed and mature markets such as Japan and Singapore have seen very low growth, due to their high state of maturity and saturated markets.
Only a few Asian countries have low mobile penetration including India and Pakistan. These countries are generally expected to see moderate subscriber growth over the next five years, as they strive to catch up with the rest of Asia.
Total mobile subscriber market growth will continue to ease off over the next five years as the remaining mobile markets now head towards saturation and their mobile subscriber growth rates ease off. This has already occurred in the more mature markets.
With 3G, 3G+ and 4G platforms extensively covering the region, mobile broadband services have already become well established.
The mobile broadband subscriber base across all of Asia continues to grow strongly. The region’s mobile markets have continued to offer huge potential for mobile data services, driven by the high volume of mobile services.

…a teacher by profession, a perpetual student in all things that interest me and –since 2008- a landscape photographer by passion. Photography changed my life in more ways than I could have imagined, it opened a door to a whole new reality, a new way of seeing and appreciating the world around me, a new philosophy and way of life. In photography you learn to focus on what’s important, excluding from your frame the insignificant or ugly elements of a scene. That’s not so far from how people should live their life.
Photography is for me a reason to wake up before the sun comes up, a reason to explore and discover new places and enjoy them in all their beauty. Most importantly it's the means to collect experiences and memories. Sometimes I'm able to transform those experiences and memories into an image I can share. Other times they just remain as images in my mind. They are equally real to me either way.

I have the best dog ever.
Actually, I’ve always had the best dog(s) ever – every single one of them – I’m using “Best” as a class, not a singular achievement.
I mean, don’t we all have the best dog ever?
Time to celebrate it – and use up a bit of scrap wood in the process.
This DIY photo frame is so simple to make – you’ll want to decorate everywhere with them! All I did was cut a couple of scrap pieces of plywood down to 7 ½” by 9″ and a second one cut to a triangular shape to act as a stand, and then sanded both smooth.
I painted the front and sides of my DIY photo frame in an off-white and then printed off my “Best Dog Ever!” on my Silhouette machine.
I applied the adhesive vinyl to the front of my frame, offset to the side so I have room for a photo on the other, and then lightly rolled over it in the same off-white paint (this is to stop bleed-through under your stencil).
Once dry, I went over the stencil with two more coats in a dark navy blue – again, leftover paint I had in the garage.
Peel your stencil off and touch up where necessary.
Using Gorilla glue, attach your triangular stand to the back of your DIY photo frame and attach either a bulldog clip or clothes pins to the front.
Change up the text to “Best Day Ever!” or “Best Kid” (that might cause a ruckus if you have more than one – but hey, a little competition is healthy right? lol)
I printed a colour photo on my home computer and sized it to fit the frame.
Isn’t she gorgeous!
Okay, the kid’s pretty cute too.
Easy-peasy and if you have glue and clothes pins – completely free!
- scrap wood
- clothes pins / bulldog clip
- strong glue
- two colours of leftover paint
- adhesive vinyl, dollar store foam letters or hand-paint your text.
Take a long board of scrap wood and make a tall DIY photo frame with several pictures going down one strip.
A great way to use up scrap wood and to show off the “Best” fur-baby in your house.
Have a great one!


title: 20211027 tunisia closes tv station owned by opposition leader

text:
Tunisia’s independent media regulator HAICA said today it had closed a television station, Nesma TV, owned by the Heart of Tunisia party leader Nabil Karoui, and a religious radio station, saying both were operating without a license, Reuters reports.
The stations have been critical of President Kais Saied, who seized executive power in July in a move his opponents describe as a coup. The HAICA had also earlier this month closed Zaytouna, which was also unlicensed and critical of Saied.
The Nesma television station and Quran Kareem religious radio station have operated for years without a licence, irking media watchdogs that see them as illicit tools for political influence.
Since Saied seized power in July, some critics see any moves against media that oppose him as an attempt to undermine press freedoms and rights in Tunisia, which has been a democracy since the 2011 revolution.
HAICA has fined Nesma for broadcasts it said exploited poor people and promoted the political agenda of the channel’s owner, businessman Nabil Karoui, a former presidential candidate and opponent of the president.
Officials at Nesma and Quran Kareem were not immediately available to comment.
“Nesma is owned by a leader in the Heart of Tunisia party, which was reflected in its contents, which violated the principles of freedom of audiovisual communication”, the regulator said.
It added: “The Quran Radio was promoting hate speech to incite violence and hatred.”
The Quran station is owned by Said Jaziri, a member of parliament, which was suspended by the president in July.

With cities, counties and states across the nation embracing the need to increase organics diversion, along with the passing of new legislation in California (mandatory organics collection, and elimination of diversion credits for organics used as landfill cover), the need to develop sustainable organics collection and processing programs is more pressing than ever. The goal of this presentation is to demonstrate that this may be achieved through well-managed procurement processes. This presentation offers a closer look into what drives the economics of organics programs, and ultimately provide a roadmap for developing successful organics collection and processing contracts.
The presentation begins with laying out a broad list of planning factors that any agency developing an organics program should consider, along with a discussion of scoping options (e.g. what is the available or desired timeline? Will the contract include incentives or subsidies? Will there be a pilot area, or other form of phased implementation?). It then provides an overview of various procurement approaches (e.g. negotiate with existing service provider(s), “design-build-operate” a public facility, or a launch competitive RFP) and, considers the process-related and economic factors (including pros/cons) of such options. The presentation discusses the importance, and provides examples of various strategies for stakeholder outreach and education, both leading up to, and throughout the new contract. Finally, the presentation highlights some best practices for implementing and managing the new contract for ongoing success.
The presentation concludes with a look at how all of these factors have come into play in three distinct regions in California.


title: Exclusive google pixel 8 pro renders leak

Google I/O 2023, the annual developer conference, will be held on May 10 as of the announcement of the date. Google is anticipated to unveil its most recent Pixel series at this event, featuring the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro smartphones. Similar to last year’s event, where the Pixel 7 Series was teased, Google is anticipated to reveal an early glimpse of the Pixel 8 Series.
The Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, which have the codenames “shiba” and “husky,” respectively, are expected to go on sale in the second half of 2023, according to rumors from December. While we can’t confirm if the Pixel 8 Series will receive hardware updates, our partnership with @onleaks has given us access to unique details on the Pixel 8 Pro’s design.
First Look at the Google Pixel 8 Pro Design
For an exclusive first look at the incoming Pixel 8 Pro smartphone, Smartprix has teamed up with OnLeaks. The new body, which has rounded edges as opposed to the boxy look of the previous model, is shown in the photographs. The camera module has also seen a considerable change, with all three lenses now being combined into a single circular region. A new sensor has been added below the flash, however, it is still unclear what it is for. It may be a macro sensor, a depth sensor, or a brand-new sensor innovation.
The Pixel 8 Pro smartphone will have a circa 6.52-inch display with a centred punch-hole selfie camera and a flat panel, rather than a curved one. The device measures 162.6×76.5×8.7mm, with a thickness of approximately 12mm when including the camera bump. The display has been resized to create more rounded corners, resulting in a slightly smaller overall size.
The USB Type-C port and speakers are located on the bottom edge, while the top edge remains unoccupied. The power button and volume rocker are situated on the right edge, and the Google logo is located on the back. Finally, the SIM tray can be found on the left edge.
Google Pixel 8 Pro: Specs
This time around, the new Pixel series will also be driven by a brand-new Google Tensor chipset and come equipped with high-end specifications all around. The upcoming Pixel 8 Pro is expected to feature the Google Tensor G3 chipset which is rumored to be based on the unannounced Samsung Exynos 2300 processor, utilizing Samsung’s 3nm node technology. As the current Google Tensor G2 chipset is built on 5nm technology, the implementation of the Tensor G3 chipset could potentially enhance both performance and efficiency.
Google is also expected to up its camera game with the new camera hardware. The 2023 flagship Pixel smartphones from Google are expected to incorporate support for staggered HDR technology. This innovative feature enables the capture of multiple exposures simultaneously, utilizing the same pixels. As a result, the same visual effect as traditional HDR can be achieved without the increased capture time or the risk of blurry images caused by frame misalignment due to movement. As the I/O 2023 approaches, expect more updates to arrive, so keep an eye on this space.

The concept of a "data warehouse" has been around for a long time. A really, really long time. The term started being used in the 1970s, and has essentially retained the same meaning for its 50 years of existence, which is an eternity in the realm of computer science.
The data warehouse consists of two basic components:
- An organizational process for ingesting data from operational data stores, cleaning and transforming this data, and then serving it from a central and accessible location within an enterprise.
- Database software that implements the storage, modeling, and serving of the data in the data warehouse.
The second component --- the database software --- has made tremendous progress over the past five decades. The current software is much faster, more fault tolerant, and more scalable than the original data warehousing software.
However, the first component --- the organizational process --- has been much slower to modernize, and still scales very poorly.
The data mesh, recently proposed by Zhamak Dehghani, is a pretty major paradigm shift that has the potential to bring this first component forward in a rare major redesign of the organizational process.
I wrote up my thoughts in detail in a guest post on Starburst's blog. The short summary of my thesis in that post is that a major reason why data warehousing organizational processes fail is that they don't scale. The data mesh has the potential to do for the data warehouse from an organizational perspective what the parallel DBMS did for the data warehouse from a database software scalability perspective.

Source: PBS NewsHour (https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/wider-access-to-narcan-helps-rural-communities-fight-overdose-deaths
In a compelling effort to combat the rising tide of overdose deaths, rural communities across the nation are making significant strides with wider access to Narcan. According to a recent report by PBS NewsHour, the expanded availability of this life-saving medication is proving instrumental in saving lives and providing critical support to those affected by the opioid crisis.
The PBS NewsHour report highlights the growing success of Narcan distribution programs in rural areas, where access to emergency medical services may be limited. The easy-to-use nasal spray, which contains the drug naloxone, can swiftly reverse the effects of opioid overdose, offering a vital window of opportunity for medical professionals to intervene.
Citing interviews with local health officials and community leaders, the report underscores the life-or-death importance of Narcan availability. It reveals that rural communities, often grappling with sparse healthcare resources, have embraced the distribution of Narcan as a proactive measure to combat the opioid crisis. The report also notes that these efforts have been significantly supported by federal grants and local partnerships.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), rural areas have been disproportionately affected by the opioid epidemic, with higher rates of overdose deaths compared to urban areas. The availability of Narcan in these communities has played a critical role in preventing fatal outcomes and providing a second chance for individuals struggling with opioid addiction.
The PBS NewsHour report highlights specific success stories from rural communities that have implemented Narcan distribution programs. It profiles local health departments, law enforcement agencies, and community organizations working collaboratively to educate the public on the signs of overdose, train individuals on how to administer Narcan, and distribute the medication widely.
The impact of these efforts has been profound. The report cites instances where Narcan has been administered by bystanders, family members, and law enforcement officers, resulting in successful overdose reversals. Moreover, the availability of Narcan has also prompted more individuals to seek treatment and enter recovery programs, ultimately saving lives and providing hope for a brighter future.
With the support of federal grants and community partnerships, rural communities are scaling up their efforts to ensure broader access to Narcan. The report emphasizes that such initiatives are not only preventing overdose deaths but also fostering a sense of empowerment and resilience within these communities.
In conclusion, the PBS NewsHour report highlights the critical role of Narcan in rural communities’ fight against overdose deaths. The wider distribution of this life-saving medication has provided an essential lifeline to those affected by the opioid crisis, enabling timely intervention and offering hope for recovery. As these efforts continue to expand, rural communities are demonstrating the power of proactive and collaborative approaches in addressing the devastating impact of opioid addiction.

title: Anytime is a good time for live music

text:
It was a cold winter day in December of 2019 when I first stepped foot in a yet-to-be remodeled Iowa Hall. I’d finally decided to pursue the career change I’d talked about and dropped by Kirkwood to get more information about the software development program.
I entered Iowa Hall around lunch time and can still remember the vibe it gave off as a happening spot.
There was a large cafeteria where students were talking, laughing and eating or otherwise hurrying off to some class or event for which they were already late. Among all the sounds and activity though, my ears immediately focused in on one set of sounds – a musician, playing a guitar and singing, was providing background music for the lunch hour.
The newly remodeled Iowa Hall has done a great job providing a central space where students and faculty alike can meet for a hot meal, can participate in an event or can take advantage of any of the many services and special use spaces available. Throughout Iowa Hall quiet music in a variety of musical styles and genres can be heard emanating from hidden speakers and providing a coffee shop ambiance.
Still, so far, there seems to be a dearth of live music and that needs to be addressed.
The college should consider bringing more touring musicians or local musicians to campus. In February Kevin Burt, an award-winning blues musician from Coralville, performed on the Iowa Hall stage during activity hour. Kirkwood would definitely benefit from more of the same.
Also, open mic opportunities for students to perform covers or original works would have a number of benefits. Musically inclined students would have a chance to showcase their skills and overcome stage fright. For some students performing live would be an essential step towards a future career as a professional musician. For others, it could just be a chance for artistic expression. For listeners, performances could serve as anything from lunchtime ambiance, to a break from class work, to an opportunity to meet other people with musical inclinations.
The ideal spot for these performances, particularly open mic events, would be the stage in the Iowa Hall cafeteria. But there could be opportunities for bigger name bands to perform elsewhere on campus where there is more space. Also, there is no reason to limit performance times by students or non-students to activity hour, a time when many student clubs meet. Anytime is a good time for live music.
As a part time student now in my seventh and final semester at Kirkwood I’ve been able to experience the vibe of the “old” Iowa Hall, had to trudge the long way around during the remodeling process and have been able to enjoy the “new” Iowa Hall. I’ve learned a lot and met a lot of cool people.
I’m very grateful to the professors and advisors who’ve helped me on my journey through Kirkwood. But as I leave, I’d like to make one small suggestion. Live music. We need more live music.

title: Finnish long drink olympic tradition 1952 helsinki

text:
In every iteration of the Olympic Games, host cities endeavor to invest in projects that moonlight as gifts for future generations.
This year in Paris, the River Seine received a $1.5 billion dollar power-wash with the intention of opening up the heart-of-Paris waterway to public swimming for the first time in more than a century.
Travel back to Helsinki 1952. That year, one of the lasting Olympic legacies was the creation of the lonkero — the Finnish Long Drink.
Ahead of the Games, organizers over-planned to welcome 60-70,000 visitors from around the world. Seeking an innovative solution to properly slake the thirst of the hoards of expected Olympic fans, the long drink was commissioned. The cocktail of gin, grapefruit and water was bottled en masse to make life easier on bartenders. Voilà.
In actuality, the country of just over four million people saw significantly fewer visitors than expected for the Games. Still, all photo and video evidence reveals fan-lined streets for races and packed stadiums and arenas. And it took a tremendous effort from the country to pull off the feat of hosting an event on the world stage in the year 1952. The Games came as Finland was recovering from a tumultuous two decades.
A period of prohibition was deemed ineffective and state-owned alcohol stores began operation in 1932. The 1940 Olympics were set for Helsinki, then canceled on account of World War II. Post-war food rationing was still in effect two years after the war ended in 1947, when Finland re-bid to host the 1952 Games. And during the Olympics, such a luxury as coffee was only available via coupon ... because it had been donated by the country of Colombia.
But there were plenty of long drinks. Fast forward 72 years and there are plenty of long drinks readily available all over the world.
The secret is out. The gift to future generations from the 1952 Olympics has gone global. An Olympic tradition carries on.


title: How long does an avo last in nsw

text:
An Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) is a legal instrument used in Australia to protect individuals who fear violence, harassment, or intimidation from a particular person.
The AVO effectively prohibits the respondent from behaving in specific ways towards the protected person.
However, like many legal protections, an AVO has an expiration date. An AVO in New South Wales (NSW) usually lasts for 2 years, but the court can set a different length depending on the case details.
In rare cases, an AVO can be given for a shorter or longer time based on how dangerous the situation is thought to be and other reasons
Implications of AVO Expiration for Both Parties
When an AVO expires, the prohibitions it imposes are no longer enforceable. Essentially, the respondent, or the person the order was against, is no longer legally bound to adhere to the conditions stipulated in the AVO.
For the protected person, the expiration of an AVO could mean a potential loss of legal protection against the respondent unless a new order is granted.
For the respondent they are no longer legally restricted from approaching or communicating with the protected person unless another order is in place.
What Happens to the Defendants Once the AVO Expires?
When an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) expires, the defendants—those against whom the AVO was made—are released from the specific prohibitions and restrictions that the AVO had imposed.
However, the expiration of an AVO doesn’t provide a license for the respondent to engage in violence, intimidation, or harassment. Let’s elaborate on the implications for the defendants once an AVO expires.
The defendant is no longer legally subject to its restrictions due to an AVO’s expiration, which is the first and most noticeable effect.
This could mean they are no longer prohibited from going to certain places, interacting with certain people, or doing certain activities that the AVO restricted.
Despite the release from these legal restrictions, the defendant needs to continue behaving in a respectful and non-threatening manner towards the protected person.
The expiration of an AVO doesn’t mean that the issues that led to the AVO are forgotten or resolved, particularly from the perspective of the protected person. Any harassment, intimidation, or violence could lead to new legal actions, including another AVO.
If the defendant continues to engage in behaviours that led to the original AVO, the protected person has every right to seek legal protection again.
This could include applying for a new AVO or pressing criminal charges if the behaviour warrants such action. Thus, the defendant must understand that the expiration of the AVO does not grant them immunity from potential future legal consequences.
An AVO’s expiration might also necessitate reviewing other related legal agreements. For instance, if the AVO impacted family law orders or child custody agreements, these need to be re-examined and potentially renegotiated once the AVO has expired.
AVO Expiration Next Steps
The AVO holder may need continued protection even after the original AVO expires. If this is the case, they have several options:
- Apply for an Extension: If the threat or fear of violence persists, the protected person can apply to the court to extend the AVO before it expires.
- Apply for a New AVO: If the AVO has expired and the protected person still fears violence or intimidation, they can apply for a new AVO.
- Seek Legal Advice: In either situation, it may be beneficial to seek advice from a legal professional to understand the full range of options and potential strategies.
How Does the AVO Extension Process Work?
The protected person needs to apply to the court for an extension before the current AVO expires.
The court will then evaluate the evidence and circumstances to decide whether the extension is justified. Extending an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) in Australia involves several steps. Here’s a general outline:
Step 1: Recognising the Need for Extension
The first step is for the protected person, or the applicant, to determine if they still feel threatened or in fear of violence, harassment, or intimidation once the current AVO is nearing its expiration date. They should consider applying for an extension if they think the risk still exists.
Step 2: Seeking Legal Advice
It’s advisable to seek AVO lawyer’s advice before starting the extension process. This will help the protected person understand the requirements and procedures and evaluate whether they have sufficient grounds for an extension.
Step 3: Applying for an Extension
The process for applying for an extension can vary slightly depending on the state or territory. Still, the protected person must generally apply to the court for an extension before the current AVO expires. This typically involves filling out a form outlining the extension’s reasons.
Step 4: Submitting Evidence
The court must see evidence that the threat or fear of violence still exists. This can include new incidents of violence or intimidation, continued fear, or a lack of change in the respondent’s behaviour or circumstances.
Step 5: Court Hearing
A court hearing will be scheduled once the application and evidence are submitted. Both parties will be expected to attend. The court will review the evidence and hear from both parties before deciding.
Step 6: Court’s Decision
If the court is satisfied that an extension is necessary for the protection of the applicant, the existing AVO will be extended for a specified period. If not, the application will be dismissed, and the existing AVO will expire on the scheduled date.
It’s important to note that the laws and procedures can vary by jurisdiction, so the exact process can differ slightly depending on where you live.
Also, the process can take time, so it’s advisable to start the application process well before the current AVO expires.

title: Is It Normal For the Lights to Flicker?

text:
Is It Normal For the Lights to Flicker?
- “Oh no! What was that?“
- “Did the lights just flicker?“
- “Is there someone else in the house?“
- “Is a ghost trying to give me a sign?“
How many times have you said the above to yourself when the lights flicker
and you’re home alone?
Unless you believe in that type of thing — there are a
few more likely reasons for your lights to flicker.
What Causes Lights to Flicker?
In the simplest of terms, lights flicker because of a drop in voltage.
This dip in voltage will result in the light dimming or cutting out completely for a very short moment(s).
1. Depends on the Type of Bulb
If you haven’t switched over to LED light bulbs, you could be experiencing more flickering than you should have to deal with.
As fluorescent bulbs age, get too hot, and as soon as they’re turned on, they have a chance of flickering. Replace them with LED bulbs if the flickering becomes too much.
2. Leaving a Loose Bulb
This one is plain and simple — a loose bulb won’t have the proper connection to keep a steady current going toward the bulb. If a bulb is flickering, see if you can tighten it a bit.
3. Poor Cords and Sockets
You have a new bulb and it’s tightened all the way in, so why is the light still flickering?
Check the cord being plugged into the receptacle. Make sure there is no visible damage. If the cord seems fine, there could be something wrong with the socket and its connection.
4. No Bulb Compatibility
Is the flickering bulb in question connected to a dimmer switch? If so, the bulb could have too low of a voltage for the dimmer switch.
Dimmer switches are typically high-voltage and will need a bulb that will match. Make sure your new LED bulbs match up with the voltage of your current dimmer switch.
5. The Electrical System in Total
Older homes can have electrical systems that should not be in use anymore.
Not only will they cause you to experience constant flickering, but they’ll also cause you to experience frequent power surges.
Old electrical systems are considered a fire hazard and should be rewired by a professional electrician. Luckily, our professional electricians at Lancaster Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical can do just that for you!

Face-To-Face NA Meetings
June 2, 2020 – Slowly physical, face to face, NA meetings are being organized in Hawaii. For the website we have a dilemma on how to list these meetings through the BMLT database (Basic Meeting List Toolbox).
When the emergency started and there were no physical meetings available NA transitioned to online meetings. However the BMLT database and associated applications are predicated to physical locations, not virtual locations.
The software developers saw the immediate need for updating the BMLT database software and implemented some quick changes which allowed us to deal with the emergency better – including an acceptable display of virtual meetings.
The normal before the emergency in searching our website for a meeting was either (1) download a PDF file (generated by our BMLT database) for printing, or (2) use the BMLT search interface to find a meeting.
Because of the delay in software upgrades and a variety of non-software issues, we have a database that needs to be updated to reflect the new normal. In fact the software used has been updated again to repurpose the software to show both virtual and physical meetings more harmoniously. This has increased the web-servants’ learning curve on adjusting to the new normal.
Our current problem however is in displaying the virtual and physical meetings in the same “window”, on your screen or on a PDF file for printing with the database as it is right now.
As a temporary solution we are going to list the physical meetings on a single page of our website arranged by island. This will give us time to upgrade the data in the database and adjust the software so that we can print the information into a document that is coherent for our members and the public.

title: Penile lengthening

text:
Penile lengthening, also known as phalloplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at increasing the length of the penis. This procedure is designed to address concerns related to penis size and improve the overall confidence and satisfaction of individuals seeking to enhance their appearance.
Penile lengthening can be achieved through various surgical techniques, including ligament release, grafting, or tissue expansion. Ligament release involves cutting the ligament that attaches the base of the penis to the pubic bone, allowing the penis to extend further outside the body. Grafting techniques may involve using tissue from other parts of the body to increase penile length, while tissue expansion involves gradually stretching the penile skin over time.
Men who are dissatisfied with the length of their penis and desire an increase in size may be candidates for penile lengthening surgery. Candidates should have realistic expectations and be in good overall health. A consultation with a qualified surgeon is essential to determine eligibility and discuss treatment options.
Penile lengthening surgery can provide significant improvements in both the physical appearance and psychological well-being of individuals seeking to enhance their penis size. This procedure can lead to increased length, improved self-confidence, and enhanced sexual satisfaction, ultimately improving overall quality of life.
Recovery time following penile lengthening surgery can vary depending on the specific technique used and individual healing factors. Patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the days following surgery, but these symptoms typically subside within a few weeks. It's essential to follow post-operative instructions provided by the surgeon to promote proper healing and optimize results.
Like any surgical procedure, penile lengthening surgery carries certain risks, including infection, bleeding, or adverse reactions to anesthesia. Additionally, there is a possibility of asymmetry, irregularities, or dissatisfaction with the aesthetic outcome. However, complications are rare when the procedure is performed by a skilled and experienced surgeon.
VMG Hospital in Hisar, Haryana, is a trusted provider of penile lengthening procedures, offering advanced techniques and compassionate care to meet the unique needs of each patient. Our team of experienced surgeons is dedicated to delivering safe and satisfactory outcomes, ensuring optimal results and patient satisfaction. With a focus on excellence and personalized attention, VMG Hospital strives to enhance the confidence and quality of life of individuals seeking penile lengthening surgery.

The real estate market is ever-evolving, influenced by economic shifts, societal changes, and unforeseen events. As we step into 2024, it’s crucial to analyze the current state of the real estate landscape and make informed predictions about what lies ahead. In this blog, we’ll delve into key insights, trends, prices, and demand forecasts for the real estate market in 2024.
Current Real Estate Landscape
Economic Factors: A Driving Force
The current state of the real estate market is intricately tied to economic factors. The aftermath of recent global events has led to a complex economic landscape. Despite challenges, the real estate market has displayed resilience, with a notable increase in home sales and a steady rise in property values.
In 2024, sustainability will be a driving force in real estate trends. Homebuyers are increasingly prioritizing eco-friendly features, energy-efficient designs, and sustainable materials. Builders and developers who embrace these trends are likely to see increased demand for their properties.
The allure of suburban living is making a comeback. As remote work becomes more prevalent, individuals and families are seeking larger homes with ample outdoor space. Suburban areas offer a perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility, making them attractive for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.
Affordability Remains Key
Affordability will continue to be a decisive factor in the real estate market. While demand for housing remains strong, buyers are becoming more price-sensitive. Areas with reasonable home prices and a promising job market are poised to experience sustained growth.
Tech Hubs Dictate Demand
Cities recognized as technology hubs are expected to see a surge in real estate demand. As the tech industry flourishes, professionals in these cities will seek housing close to their workplaces. This trend is likely to drive property prices higher in key tech-centric locations.
The Role of Future Homes
Amidst these trends, Future Homes encapsulates the essence of what buyers are seeking. Future homes are not just about physical structures; they represent a vision of sustainable, technologically advanced, and thoughtfully designed living spaces. The concept of “Future Homes” is at the forefront of the real estate market in 2024.
In this dynamic environment, understanding the pulse of the real estate market becomes paramount. Whether you’re a homebuyer, seller, or investor, keeping a finger on the industry’s pulse will empower you to make informed decisions. As we move forward, the concept of “Future Homes” guides us—homes that are not just dwellings but embodiments of a sustainable, connected, and forward-looking lifestyle. Let’s navigate the path ahead with anticipation and adaptability, embracing the exciting transformations that the real estate market holds for us in 2024.

We are very excited to welcome our new Advisor and Program Coordinator, Luis Chaidez! A first generation college student and graduate of UC Irvine, Luis is passionate about working with students to help them navigate the path to and through college. In his own words, “I chose to work in the college access field because of my own personal development in school as a Latinx male. Growing up in a low-income single-parent household with limited resources in school helped me realize the immense privilege of using school to level up in life. During high school I developed a lifelong connection with my mentor Mr. Vetter and for the first time learned about the opportunity to attend college. After my freshman year in high school, I was admitted into UC Riverside’s Upward Bound Program. At that point in time, I was basically failing out of high school but after immersing myself in the program, I established close connections with staff who operated as foundational pillars for me to access higher education.
While I attended UC Irvine, serving my community in the college access realm became a personal commitment for me to bridge students and men of color to access and complete higher education. I worked for similar federal access programs and with university outreach initiatives supporting high school youth throughout South Central Los Angeles. I believe college access programs are imperative in revealing the boundless intellectual power interwoven in the diverse communities we serve and in strengthening the pipeline to higher education. I am delighted to be part of this challenging yet fulfilling work.”

It would be interesting to know how many people with cameras could see a dew covered spider web shining in the morning sun and not take a picture. There are probably millions of photos like this taken each year.
This morning was very foggy and the sun was out for only a short time before clouds moved in. There were dozens of these webs spread over several acres. Support for the webs came from dried Indiangrass seed stalks left from last year.
Located in the Bluegrass region of Southern Ohio, Blue Jay Barrens contains excellent xeric habitat inhabited by a wide variety of rare native plant and animal species. Since 1985, this private property has been managed to improve the integrity of the special ecosystems found here. This blog provides information on the current activities at Blue Jay Barrens.
RESPONSE TO COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS BLOG
It’s my intent to share information on current events at Blue Jay Barrens. Unless otherwise noted in the text, all photos were taken by me at Blue Jay Barrens.
Plant scientific names are from Gleason and Cronquist 1991. I realize that some changes in preferred nomenclature have occurred, but this is the principle reference I have been using for flora identification. Knowing this, I believe most people can figure out just what plant I’m talking about.
My discussions of flora and fauna are not intended to be a complete life history. There are plenty of good references for this type of information. I am discussing my personal experiences with plants and animals on this specific property. Any other information I may provide is intended to help you understand the significance of my observations.

The mountains Bardellone and Fusarino, along with the nearby hills, separate the vast bay of Levanto from Val di Vara. For centuries they represented the crossing point from the sea to the inland upon crossing with via Ligurum, a road that runs along the ridge used by the ancient native population. The importance of this territory as central point of the traffic in ancient times can be seen even today by the number of pathways and mule tracks running along the nearby ridges or down in the valley starting from the plateau known as Foce del Bardellone.
Of all these pathways, Via dei Monti would become the most used and the most important during medieval times. Starting from the parish of Montale, it would pass Mount Piano, continue towards Mount Castellano to finally reach Val di Vara while passing through Cassana. From Bardellone one could go to Cassana by following a different path, using one of the mule tracks that ran along the creek. This area has been relevant from ancient times, as can be attested by the numerous tracks and archaelogical evidence, as in the case of the nearby village of Campodonia, where a 3rd century Ligurian tomb was found, in Albareto near the valley of Pignone and in Mount Delle Forche, a small hill near the sea, where archaelogist found a hut dating back to the late Bronze age.
The castle of Celasco was built on a preexisting Ligurian hill-fort in Mount Bardellone, further reinforcing the strategical relevance of this area. It was owned by the homonymous family that from the 10th to the 13th century clashed its fief of Valle with the one of the Da Passano family, who controlled Borgo, the first core of modern Levanto.

The Legal Aid Society, The Bronx Defenders, New York County Defender Services, Brooklyn Defender Services and Neighborhood Defender Service of Harlem released an analysis of data obtained from the New York State Office of Court Administration (OCA) that shows a sharp decline in the number of new criminal cases throughout the city in the first two months of 2020, as compared with the same period last year, reports the New York Post.
These numbers starkly contradict claims by the NYPD that crime has risen since the new bail law went into effect on January 1. Rather, the court figures suggest that crime has continued to plummet. This is in line with a decade-long trend in which crime has declined steadily each year since 2010.
The court case numbers are a more objective measure because each docket represents an instance in which a person has been actually accused of a crime and charged in court. Cases are scrutinized by prosecutors, defense lawyers and judges, and inflated or entirely bogus charges may not pass muster. In a similar way, homicide figures would be harder to inflate because an actual death is required.
“Since the NYPD controls how, when, and where they arrest people and what they charge an arrested person with, it is easy for them to generate and then use statistics to promote a self-interested agenda,” reads a joint statement from New York City Defender organizations. “The court case numbers are a more objective measure because each docket represents an instance in which a person has actually been accused of a crime and charged in court. Charged cases often face some degree of scrutiny from prosecutors and judges, and thus weed out entirely unfounded charges associated with initial arrests.”

title: Three different and easy ways to fool keylogger

text:
Keylogger is well renowned term for most of the Intermediate internet users. Keylogger keeps record of each and every keystrokes from your keyboard. There are two types of keylogger, hardware keylogger and software keylogger. Hardware keylogger uses specific device or adapter to record the keystrokes. Passing through Hardware keyloggers is easy as it can be easily detected with your own eyes in computer port.
Software Keyloggers cannot be detected easily. Now a days most of the public places have keylogger installed to trap the keystrokes. Some of them even records the mouse clicks.
Today, in YouCanHack, I am up with 3 easy steps to work easily and securely even if the keylogger is tracking you.
Fooling idea 1
Keylogger records what you type, that means when you type abcdefgh, it records abcdefgh in same sequence. This example clearly shows that every keyloggers tracks whatever you type in timely order and in same sequence.
You can call this as one of the weak point of keyloggers. Keyloggers only detects keystrokes and button activities but cannot see what you are doing.
For example, lets say that you want to enter username and password to login. Instead of directly inputing username and password, you can trick the keylogger by breaking the key sequence.
If you have the username abcde123 then input cde first then move your mouse to initial position then again type ab and again move it to the end and again type 123. This will fake the keylogger, it will record your username input as cdeab123.
In this way the keylogger will be fooled. You can apply same method for the password and other important information.
Fooling idea 2
Keyloggers may record the keystrokes but not what you copy. For example, if you select a text and press CTRL+C then the keylogger will record CTRL+C not the thing that one is copied. Yet another loophole found to fool keyloggers.
For example, lets say that you want to enter a username, again instead of directly typing open notepad by going to Start > Run> and typing “notepad” (without quotes).
Type every character and symbols that your password might contain in notepad.
Keylogger will record all the keys as you type. Now, if your password is @bc12, then single each character and copy it to your login page.
You can either use keyboard shortcut (CTRL+C/V) or Mouse (Right click> Copy/Paste) to copy and paste the key values.
This is really slow and time consuming method but obviously the secure one.
Fooling idea 3
Last but not least. Why not using windows in-built utility to type? Windows On-Screen keyboard, located at Start > All Programs > Accessories > Accessibilites > On-Screen Keyboard (in Windows XP) and Start > All Programs > Accessories > Ease of Access > On-Screen keyboard or you can also search for On-Screen Keyboard in Start Menu Search (in Windows Vista or later).
Bring up the Window where you want to type and begin typing from on-screen keyboard.
Easy isn’t it?
Hope this tutorial was helpful. If you have other methods then please post it in comments. I’ll update it in my blog with all credits towards you.

The cabinet includes members of the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) and military commanders who fought federal forces during the war, according to Tigrai TV.
The establishment of an interim administration was a key tenet of a peace deal signed in South Africa's capital Pretoria in November 2022 by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government and the TPLF.
Last month, the Ethiopian government said TPLF spokesman Getachew Reda, the public face of the rebels during the war, had been appointed head of the interim government.
That followed the Ethiopian parliament's move to remove the TPLF from an official list of terrorist groups in line with the November deal.
Debretsion Gebremichael, who had been president of the Tigray region since 2018, formally handed over the reins to Getachew during a ceremony on Wednesday, according to Tigrai TV.
"Members of the interim administration of Tigray, you have been given a responsibility to play your part in this peaceful stage of the struggle to ensure the security and the interests of the people of Tigray," said Debretsion, who does not figure in the new lineup.
General Tadesse Worede, commander of Tigrayan forces during the war, has been named regional vice president, in charge of peace and security.
Number three in the cabinet is Tsadkan Gebretensae, who was Ethiopia's army chief of staff during the 1990s and 2000s when the TPLF dominated the government and became chief strategist for the TPLF forces during the Tigray war.
Tsadkan has been appointed head of the "democratization and decentralization governance" secretariat.
The conflict in northern Ethiopia has killed untold numbers of civilians, displaced more than two million and left millions more in need of humanitarian aid.
It began in November 2020 when Abiy had sent troops into Tigray to topple the TPLF, then the regional ruling party, a move he said came in response to attacks on federal army camps.
It followed months of rancor between the two sides as the TPLF, which dominated the government for three decades, became increasingly marginalized after Abiy came to power in 2018.
