title: Voters reject abq sick leave ordinance

text:
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Albuquerque voters narrowly rejected a proposal Tuesday that would have required employers to provide paid sick leave to workers, according to unofficial election returns.
Balloting in favor and against the ordinance was almost evenly split — 50 percent each — but opponents cast about 700 more ballots, out of roughly 91,000 altogether.
Opponents said the results demonstrated the value of their aggressive campaign. Polling showed growing opposition in the final weeks before Election Day.
“This was a local grass-roots campaign with the business community in this city,” said Gerges Scott, a spokesman for the Albuquerque Coalition for a Healthy Economy, which opposed the ordinance. “I’m very proud of all the people who worked hard to educate the voters about this harmful ordinance.”
Supporters of the proposal — who gathered at Hotel Andaluz in Downtown Albuquerque — said they were proud of their door-to-door canvassing aimed at making Albuquerque the first city in New Mexico to require paid sick leave.
“We feel really good about every conversation we had,” said Andrea Serrano of Organizers in the Land of Enchantment, an advocacy organization. “This campaign proved people are willing to talk to each other.”
The proposed Healthy Workforce Ordinance would require employers in Albuquerque, regardless of size, to provide paid sick time off for their employees. It would apply to full-time, part-time and temporary workers at any business or nonprofit with a physical presence in Albuquerque.
Tuesday’s election caps a 17-month debate that began when supporters launched a petition drive on Mother’s Day last year. Within 60 days, the “Healthy Workforce” campaign succeeded in gathering the roughly 14,000 signatures required to add the proposal to the ballot, bypassing the usual legislative process of the City Council.
Business, real estate and restaurant groups, in turn, launched a vigorous campaign against the proposal.
Supporters and opponents alike poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into the campaign, and hard-hitting mailers filled voters’ mailboxes.
Critics blasted the ordinance as an onerous mandate that would kill jobs and damage the local economy. They described the proposal as deceptive — sometimes labeling it the “trick leave” ordinance.
Among those in opposition were the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce, the New Mexico Restaurant Association and the Realtors Association of New Mexico.
Supporters, in turn, said Albuquerque workers deserved basic protections aimed at ensuring that, say, a single mom doesn’t have to choose between getting her paycheck and caring for a sick child.
Under the ordinance, employees would be able to use sick leave for themselves or to care for a relative, or for absences related to domestic violence, rape or stalking.

Assisted Website Migration in Cloud Hosting
The service is available with every single cloud hosting service which we provide, so the instant your new account is operational, you'll be able to contact us to set up the migration process. Our experienced technical support can relocate even a number of websites depending on the particular plan you have signed up for and will test out each of them on our end to make sure that everything runs properly when you point your domain to our sophisticated cloud hosting platform. In this way, you'll not see any downtime of your websites because the exact same content will show up as soon as the new domain name servers propagate. We're able to transfer any kind of Internet site, including a custom-built one, as long as it runs on a Linux-powered web hosting server and it isn't built using a closed-source platform like Wix or Weebly since we cannot access the actual site files. The whole migration process is normally performed within 24-48 hours and we shall let you know as soon as we are done.
Assisted Website Migration in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you get a semi-dedicated server account through us, we'll be able to transfer your content for free even when you have several websites under different domains. Since our top-notch cloud hosting platform uses Linux, your current host has to employ this Operating System also and you should not be using a closed-source online site design service including Weebly, Mr. Site or Jimdo since they do not allow the website files to be accessed, thus we can't migrate this type of a site. It normally doesn't take more than 48 hrs from the minute you arrange the migration with our technical support team to the point in time everything is migrated and prepared, so you can start using our services without delay. You can take advantage for any custom website or for one which you've built with a script-driven application like Joomla, PrestaShop, Moodle or WordPress. Once everything is set, we will let you know and you can change the name servers of your domains to point them to your new account. Given that the content shall be the same on both hosting servers, your visitors shall not notice any downtime during the DNS update propagation.
Assisted Website Migration in VPS Servers
If you choose one of our VPS servers, we can begin moving your websites the moment your account is prepared and you contact us. The procedure usually takes up to 48 hrs dependent upon the number and the size of the websites that you'd like to migrate to the virtual private server and this time includes not just moving the content, but also testing it afterwards as to make sure that your data is unchanged and that your sites will perform correctly on our end. Our tech support can migrate any well-known script application or custom website so long as it can run using a Linux hosting server and if you aren't using a service like Weebly, Jimdo or Mr. Site as they do not grant access to the files of the websites created on their platforms. Other than that, our service is available for any hosting CP that you pick on our end or use with the other hosting company. We can save you the time and the efforts at no extra cost on top of the monthly virtual private server price and the functioning of your sites shall practically not be disrupted as during the propagation of the new name servers that you set for the domains you want to host on the machine, you will have the same content on both ends.
Assisted Website Migration in Dedicated Servers
If you have decided to switch providers because you need a more effective web hosting solution and you sign up for a dedicated server from our company, we can move a number of websites at no additional cost and in only 48 hours due to the fact that we have a crew of very experienced admins. Not only will they move the content for you, but they'll additionally change all the necessary settings inside the configuration files of your sites and will test if everything is operating adequately before they notify you that the migration process has been carried out. This service is available irrespective of the hosting CP that you use with the present host and the one that you order on our end. It also does not matter if you're using a custom Internet site or a script like WordPress or Joomla because our admins can move any sort of Internet site that can operate on Linux environment. The only sites they can't transfer are ones developed on platforms like Wix, Jimdo or Weebly since they use closed-source website builders and don't grant access to the actual files. The moment everything is set up, you'll be able to change the name servers of the domains that you wish to be hosted within the dedicated server and since the content will be the same as the one you have on the servers of the current host company, you won't see any interruptions.

title: Massage therapy your biggest role

text:
If you happen to be seeking therapeutic massage for aches and pains, you should consider getting deep tissue asian body work. Though the Swedish-style massage can do well for minor aches and pain, which is great for relaxation, little one it is just not enough. Deep tissue massage is more information on therapy and healing than relaxation, and there’s a reason why it increases results than the Swedish type. You should consider that the problems you are experiencing in connection to chronic pain need and then cleans advanced deal with.
After a brief conversation, our Thai Swedish massage session began with my careful examination of tightness and weakness the actual world whole body. I thoroughly worked through and tested all major muscle groups and joints for any irregularity. Harvey’s body was stiff eating plans holding patterns, or regions of chronic tension, especially close to the hips, along with the chest.
So in a natural effort of self-preservation I kept my abdominal muscles tense enough so that they could not do any serious endanger. When she was over with the Thai massage, she told me in a concerned voice that I real issues in my belly area since I have been so tense in furthermore there. 출장마사지 advised me to visit a doctor and come back to her for regular belly interventions.
Also keep in mind that male therapists aren’t superior because they are stronger or have strong hands. “It’s not about strength,” says Elder. “A good massage therapist uses gravity and range.” Even a petite person will offer a hulking bodybuilder an ideal massage.
Swedish massage can be best for people who are not yet accustomed to massage. The strokes are gentle and won’t feel an excessive even for people with just received your first massage. If you wish to be relaxed and feel soothed, health-care professional . try most of these massage.
It is no wonder that whenever one visits Thailand might find range of of schools that teaches massage. But actually the concept of starting an excellent started on a temple grounds itself. In order to said how the temple were large four sided building on the middle and a courtyard. The temple or watt pho is the cause of setting in the first Thai massage school in Thailand. Today, from what that are used to be mouse click away . temple ground they formerly created more buildings and possibly a larger campus for the school.

Bruschetta is one of my all time favorite appetizers! It is a perfect side dish for summer when all tomatoes are ripe and delicious.
WHAT IS BRUSCHETTA?
Bruschetta (pronounced as Bru-Sketta) is an Italian appetizer or antipasto. While bruschetta is often associated with the diced tomato, herbs and seasonings atop the toast, the word bruschetta actually refers to the preparation of the bread, which should be rubbed with garlic and toasted.
PARMESAN CRISP BRUSCHETTA:
Although the bread is the most important part of bruschetta, it’s not always an option for those with a gluten allergy. Thus, I created a gluten free bruschetta recipe using home-made parmesan crisps (and it happens to be keto-friendly as well). It only takes 5 minutes to make them and they are cheaper and more delicious than the store-bought packages. It just takes a whole parmesan and a grater. More to come below on this step.
It’s not a surprise that diced tomatoes are the most common ingredient used over the bruschetta as it perfectly complements the existing elements. There are plenty of recipes online recommending the use of balsamic vinaigrette for the bruschetta but the traditional Italian recipe calls for a drizzle of red wine vinegar so it doesn’t over power the tomatoes. With that said, when tomatoes are in peak season, I prefer to leave the vinaigrette out altogether. It’s critical to select ripe tomatoes for the flavor as well as the techniques described below.
My first recommendation is to de-seed the tomatoes. I have found that by de-seeding it reduces the water content so it’ll sit better over the bruschetta without creating a soggy mess. Further, I take the skin off as well for a velvety texture with better health benefits. It will also be much easier to de-skin ripe tomatoes.
To avoid being wasteful, I place a small strainer over a cup and, with a spoon, scoop the seeds (and the gelatinous center) to throw into said strainer. I then squeeze the seeds to get all the juice back into the cup. You can use this fresh tomato juice in any tomato-based soup or simply freeze for future use. I prefer to drink it on the spot while it’s fresh, adding a pinch of salt!
SHOULD BRUSCHETTA BE SERVED WARM OR COLD?
This appetizer is best served on a freshly toasted bread while the tomato topping is at the room temperature. You can toast or grill the bread for an extra crunch and top it off with fresh tomato and basil.
CAN YOU MAKE BRUSCHETTA IN ADVANCE?
Yes! It will be much easier to prep everything in advance specially if you are hosting for a larger party. Be sure to take the tomato mix out of the fridge and allow it to get to room temperature before placing it on the bread.
20-25 ripe cherry tomatoes or 6-7 ripe beefsteak tomatoes, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
6-8 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup of fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
HOW TO MAKE THE PARMESAN CRISPS:
Preheat oven to 400°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper . Spoon cheese into circles while patting down the cheese. leave about 2-3 inches between each mound as they expand through heating. Bake for about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Make sure that the cheese is completely cooled off before you remove it from the parchment paper or it can break apart.
HOW TO MAKE BRUSCHETTA:
Combine the tomatoes, chopped garlic, vinegar, olive oil, basil in a small bowl. Sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Scoop the Tomato mixture over each Parmesan crisp and serve immediately.

Smith v. Superior Court (L’Oréal USA, Inc.), 39 Cal. 4th 77 (2006)
Aspiring actress and model, Amanza Smith, worked as a “hair model” for L’Oréal at Christophe hair salon for which she was paid $500 for one day’s work. L’Oréal considered Smith to be an independent contractor and took more than two months to pay her the compensation it owed to her. Smith filed a class action on behalf of herself and other similarly-situated hair models, alleging, among other things, violation of Labor Code § 201 (requiring immediate payment of wages earned upon discharge of an employee) and seeking waiting-time penalties under section 203 in the amount of $500 per day per hair model for 30 days based on the latepayment of compensation. The trial court agreed with L’Oréal that the word “discharge” as used in Labor Code § 201 means “the affirmative dismissal of an employee by an employer from ongoing employment and does not include the completion of a set period of employment or a specified task” and granted summary adjudication in L’Oréal’s favor. Although the Court of Appeal denied Smith’s petition for a writ of mandate, the California Supreme Court reversed, holding that when an employee is released after completing a specific job assignment or time duration for which the employee was hired, he or she is entitled to immediate payment of the earned wages. Cf. Marathon Entm’t, Inc. v. Blasi, 140 Cal. App. 4th 1001 (2006) (actor’s personal manager could be entitled to commission for procuring employment for actor despite not being licensed as a talent agency).

title: Decoding the linux kernel symbols tables and puzzles

text:
Ever wondered about the magic behind the Linux kernel’s symbols and tables? Let’s embark on this fun-filled journey to uncover the mystery! And don’t miss the Curiosity Corner for some intriguing tidbits!
📘 Understanding Symbols: Within the programming sphere, a symbol is like a label that points to either a data storage space (think of it as a drawer in a vast cabinet) or a sequence of commands to run (imagine a set of choreographed dance steps). In simple terms? They’re nicknames for memory addresses!
📘 Peeking into the Symbol Table: A symbol table is like the index of a massive book, crafted diligently by the compiler, enlisting all symbols in a program. And for our beloved Linux kernel? There’s a dedicated symbol table accompanying every built image. Take a quick peek at /boot/System.map-<linux_version>
, and voila! A roadmap of kernel symbols awaits.
📘 The Art of Exporting Symbols: Imagine crafting a special dance move in a studio. It’s yours, and no one else knows it unless you show it off. Similarly, in the Linux kernel, a new function or variable stays within its home module unless you export it. Decide between EXPORT_SYMBOL
– it’s all about the licensing jazz!
📘 Choosing between EXPORT_SYMBOL and EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL:
: Think of this as an open invitation – any kernel module can come and dance!EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
: It’s an exclusive party. Only those modules grooving to the GPL license can join.
📘 System.map vs. /proc/kallsyms: It’s like having a treasure map vs. a dynamic GPS. System.map shows the treasures hidden since the beginning. On the other hand, /proc/kallsyms not only reveals those treasures but also updates with the new ones discovered!
🤔 Why EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
? To uphold the open-source spirit! This ensures the dance move (or symbol) is only showcased to modules that swing to the GPL rhythm, keeping proprietary ones from crashing the party.
🤔 How can one symbol grace both System.map
? When a symbol is a kernel celebrity, part of the built-in modules! While System.map
showcases the kernel’s hall of fame, /proc/kallsyms
adds pop-up stars (dynamically loaded modules) too.
🤔 Drama with identical symbol names in two modules? Cue suspenseful music! If two modules strut out with the same dance move (or symbol name), the kernel’s bouncer stops the second one. A glaring spotlight (or error) flags the scene!
Symbols & Tables Made Easy:
Picture this: You’re in a grand library 📚:
- Symbols: They’re book titles, each narrating a unique story or concept.
- Symbol Table: It’s your trusty catalog, guiding where each tale rests.
- Exporting Symbols: Authored a new book? Add it to the library! Decide if it’s available to all (
) or exclusive club members (EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
). - System.map vs. /proc/kallsyms: Two catalogs! One logs the timeless classics, and the other keeps tabs on new releases and limited editions.
For those who crave a deeper dive, here’s an exciting walkthrough with /proc/kallsyms
– the kernel’s dynamic symbol guidebook. Just like browsing a library with a magnifying glass, combine the cat
commands and uncover the tales of symbols like print_jiffies
Curiosity Corner: /proc/kallsyms Edition:
🤔 Significance of /proc/kallsyms
? It’s our kernel’s comprehensive catalog! Spilling details of all symbols, whether timeless classics or dynamic newbies, aiding debugging escapades and kernel quests.
🤔 A missing print_jiffies
means? It’s like a sought-after book missing from the library – perhaps it’s yet to be stocked, misplaced, or maybe it’s just a legend.
🤔 Any other treasure maps besides /proc/kallsyms
? Absolutely! There’s System.map
, mapping the timeless tales. But remember, it won’t show you the new bestsellers!
Bringing the Puzzle Pieces Together:
Imagine a sprawling jigsaw puzzle 🧩. Each piece is a kernel function or variable. Now, /proc/kallsyms
is your reference picture. Seeking print_jiffies
? Check this picture with your trusty cat
magnifying glass. If it’s missing, maybe it’s time to hunt for the missing piece!
For those eager beavers wanting to dive even deeper, check out my detailed explorations on my GitHub
Happy coding and always stay curious!

title: Ukadiche modak roti minnibels

text:
Ukadiche Modak is basically steamed modak, think of it like sweet dumpling made with rice flour wrapper and sweet coconut stuffing - they are more popular lately because they are a healthier alternative to traditional modak which are deep fried in ghee or butter. I have always loved Ukadiche Modak more than the traditional one -- I think if you are a dumpling fan in general, this is right up your alley!!
In Maharashtra where I come from there is a saying that you can gauge the quality of a home cook by their Ukadiche Modak, it is supposed to be a very tricky recipe - however I did not really have any trouble with it; I am guessing because of all the practice I have had making vegetable dumplings at home - and these are a very close cousins.
I followed this recipe to proportions. I found that kneading the dough really well matters a lot; as well as letting it rest a bit before working. Frozen coconut works just as well and is a huge time saver. We recently substituted all of our regular white sugar with this coconut sugar Trader Joe's carried - it's extremely flavorful and tastes closer to Gud/Gul than sugar.. it goes very well in this modak recipe.
With that all you need is a steamer and a bit of practice rolling and steaming dumplings and you are all set making these yummy ukadiche modak anytime you want!
We don't make rotis often at our home. It takes too long and often the convenience of using pita breads or tortiallas is a huge time saver. But every other Sunday or so, we do make fresh rotis. My daughter always asks for a couple of dough balls and she experiments with it with her own mini size rolling pin.
These minnibels were her creations and her branding. She rolls the dough and then uses various cookie cutters of her liking to cut the shapes from the dough and then I cook them on the stove just as I would regular rotis.
These "minnibels" as she calls it have become a favorite of our Sunday lunches and a great way to get the kids experimenting in the kitchen!


title: Autumn book treats

text:
There’s only one thing that can rescue me from end-of-summer blues: the promise of some great new books for autumn. And this year’s list of has some real gems. Just have a look.
Loved, loved Normal People (30th August) by Sally Rooney. A good old-fashioned love story in brand new wrapping. If you’re wondering what it’s like to be young today, read this. And even if you’re not, this book will take you back to your own first fumbling experiences with love.
The Silence of the Girls (30th August) by Pat Barker is the story of Trojan War, immortalised in Homer’s The Illiad, but this time told from the female perspective. I’m a few pages into the book and already absorbed. If you liked Circe by Madeline Miller, which we adored, get this.
Haruki Murakami‘s new novel Killing Commendatore (9th October) is a Great Gatsby inspired love story. This will be his first novel since Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage, which we found to be a bit bland. Let’s hope it’s more in line with his engrossing 1Q84.
Melmoth (2nd October) by Sarah Perry, author of bestselling The Essex Serpent, is a gothic mystery novel set in Prague where our heroine starts investigating the history behind the mystical figure of Melmoth. Will Perry be able to follow up on her astonishingly successful second book?
Berta Isla by Javier Marías (4th October), one of Spain’s literary giants and one of our favourites. We loved his The Infatuations, A Heart So White and Venice, an Interior. A bit mixed early reviews for this love story between a Spanish woman and a British spy, but I might give it a try anyway.
Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver (16th October), author of the gripping The Poisonwood Bible, is the story of one house and two families who live 200 years apart. Her more recent books have been a bit hit and miss, perhaps this will be the one to match The Poisonwood Bible?
Becoming (13th November), Michelle Obama‘s hugely anticipated memoirs, should be inspiring although, personally, I’m going to be even more excited to read Melania Trump’s post-divorce memoirs when they come out.
First to be broadcast on BBC Radio 4, David Szalay‘s short-story collection, Turbulence, will come out on paper right before Christmas (6th December). It’s stories of 12 different people in transit around the globe, whose lives interconnect in some way or other. Few authors portray the modern male psyche quite like Szalay. We devoured his novel Spring and short-story collection All That Man Is.
American Weather (TBC) is Jenny Offill‘s third novel. We loved her first, Dept. of Speculation, a refreshingly original story of a marriage on the rocks. This one deals with mad families and polarised political opinions in contemporary America, sounds interesting and relevant. One to watch.
We would love to hear your thoughts on any of these books on our Facebook Page or in the comment field below. Sign up to Bookstoker Group Facebook page and make sure you don’t miss our posts or discussions.
That’s all for now! Enjoy.


title: Ap election brief what to expect in mississippis runoff primaries

text:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Think of it as the Mississippi Primaries: The Sequel. On Tuesday, voters in the Magnolia State will head back to the polls to resolve a handful of state legislative contests from the Aug. 8 primaries in which no candidate reached the vote majority needed to advance to the November general election.
Six runoff primaries, three apiece for Republicans and Democrats, will be held in House districts scattered throughout the state, stretching from the northern border with Tennessee to the southern tip of the Gulf Coast.
In District 66, located in heavily Democratic Hinds County and including parts of Southwest Jackson, two candidates are vying to replace outgoing Rep. De’Keither Stamps, who is running for the state Public Service Commission. Fabian Nelson, owner of a local real estate firm, faces Roshunda Harris-Allen, an alderwoman for the city of Byrum and a professor at Tougaloo College’s School of Education. Nelson, who would become the state’s first openly gay lawmaker if elected, led Harris-Allen in the Aug. 8 primary, 43% to 31%.
In District 115, located in Harrison County on the Gulf Coast and including Biloxi, former police officer Zachary Grady and Biloxi City Councilmember Felix Gines compete to replace retiring GOP Rep. Randall Patterson in the Republican runoff. Grady was the top vote-getter in the primary, receiving 47% of the vote to 38% for Gines. If elected, Gines, who switched parties in December, would become one of only two Black Republicans to serve in the Mississippi House since Reconstruction. The other will be Rodney Hall, a recent aide to GOP Congressman Trent Kelly and former Army veteran who won the Republican primary in District 20 earlier this month and faces no opponent in November.
Additional Republican runoffs will be held in District 2 in northern Mississippi’s Alcorn County and District 105 in Perry, Greene and George counties east of Hattiesburg, while Democrats will also hold runoffs in Districts 69 and 72 in Hinds and Madison counties in central Mississippi.
Control of the Mississippi House is not at stake in November, as Republicans hold a solid majority in the chamber.
Here’s a look at what to expect on election night:
Polls close statewide at 8 p.m. ET or 7 p.m. local time (CT).
WHAT’S ON THE BALLOT
The Associated Press will declare winners in six primary runoff elections in Mississippi: Republican contests in Districts 2, 105 and 115 and Democratic contests in Districts 66, 69 and 72. The winners will advance to the general election on Nov. 7.
WHO GETS TO VOTE
The runoff primary is limited only to voters who cast ballots in the Aug. 8 primary election in districts where no candidate received a majority of the vote. Voters may participate only with the same party as they did in the Aug. 8 primary.
State legislative runoffs tend to be relatively low-turnout affairs in which a handful of votes could decide the election. This may slow the race-calling process in particularly close contests where just a few absentee or other untallied ballots could play a decisive role in determining the result.
The AP does not make projections and will declare a winner only when it’s determined there is no scenario that would allow the trailing candidate to close the gap. If a race has not been called, the AP will continue to cover any newsworthy developments, such as candidate concessions or declarations of victory. In doing so, the AP will make clear that it has not yet declared a winner and explain why.
There are no mandatory recounts in Mississippi.
WHAT DO TURNOUT AND ADVANCE VOTE LOOK LIKE
As of July 28, there were 1.9 million active voters registered in Mississippi. The state does not register voters by party.
Turnout in the Aug. 8 primary for governor was about 18% of registered voters for Republicans and about 9% for Democrats. In 2019, turnout was 19% for Republicans and 15% for Democrats.
The number of votes cast for runoffs tends to trail that of the initial election. In the Aug. 8 primary, the six districts that were forced into runoffs posted vote totals of just a few thousand each, the largest being District 105 with about 6,400 votes cast and the smallest being District 115 with about 1,700 votes cast.
Relatively few Mississippi voters cast ballots before Election Day. The state does not allow in-person early voting and allows absentee-by-mail voting only for those who provide a valid excuse. In the 2018, 2020 and 2022 state primaries, only about 4% voted by absentee ballot. The state reported a total of 2,601 absentee ballots received across all runoff districts as of Tuesday, out of almost 6,106 total absentee ballots requested by voters. Absentee ballots must be postmarked by the day of the runoff, Tuesday, and must be received by Sept. 6.
HOW LONG DOES VOTE-COUNTING USUALLY TAKE
In the Aug. 8 primary for governor, the AP first reported results at 8:19 p.m. ET. The election night tabulation ended shortly after 3:08 a.m. ET with 94% of the votes counted.

title: Binary black holes can unlock another of einsteins predictions

text:
In the grand scheme of things, the structure of a black hole is pretty simple. All you need to know is its mass, electric charge, and rotation, and you know what the structure of space and time around the black hole must be. But if you have two black holes orbiting each other, then things get really complicated. Unlike a single black hole, for which there is an exact solution to Einstein's equations, there is no exact solution for two black holes. It's similar to the three-body problem in Newtonian gravity. But that doesn't mean astronomers can't figure things out, as a couple of recent studies show.
Although Einstein's equations don't have an exact solution for a binary black hole system, there are aspects of binary black holes that the equations predict. One of these is known as spin-orbit resonance. When a black hole rotates, the structure of space around it is twisted in the direction of rotation, known as frame dragging. When two black holes orbit each other closely, the frame-dragging of each black hole affects the rotation of the other. As a result, the two black holes will tend to enter a resonance, where the rotations either align in the same way (parallel) or opposite (anti-parallel). If spin-orbit resonance is real, then binary pairs should tend to have one of these orientations.
One recent study suggests this is true. In it, the team looked at gravitational-wave data from known black hole mergers, and found that their rotations tend to be parallel or anti-parallel. Given the small sample size, and the fact that black hole binary rotations are never exactly aligned, there isn't enough data to confirm the effect, but the data we have points in that direction.
One of the challenges to measuring black hole spin is that the signal is rather weak. The gravitational waves we measure from distant black hole mergers are so faint that it's easy to get lost in the noise. Observatories such as LIGO and Virgo need to make extremely sensitive measurements, and their data must be filtered through computer models. Its the combination of data processing and computer simulation that makes the mergers detectable. Adding spin to the mix makes things even more difficult.
But in a second paper, the team looked at how we could get better results. They found that the signal for spin resonance is strongest when they are just about ready to merge. That makes sense since that's when they are closest together and when frame-dragging is strongest. But currently, the rotation information for binary black holes is found by looking at gravitational waves while they are still orbiting each other. The team showed how models can analyze the near-merger signal instead, getting much better results. By applying this new method to black hole mergers, they should be able to confirm spin-orbit resonance in the near future.
Gravitational-wave astronomy is still a new field, and we're still learning how to capture and analyze the data. As these new studies show, gravitational waves hold a great deal of information, and with a bit of digging there's plenty more we can uncover.

title: Power pack 3 0 pdf diffs and license updates

text:
The new major release of Power Pack 3.0 brings the ability to diff PDF documents, comparing how the text of the document changes between revisions, and makes it easier to manage your license subscriptions.
Viewing Differences in PDFs
This can drastically cut down on the time needed to read through documents as the author takes in suggested edits from reviewers. Just like a code diff, any text changes made in a document are shown inline in the PDF, color-coded for easier viewing.
A handy new sidebar view catalogues all the changes made throughout the document, so there’s no need to carefully scrutinize as you scroll.
If you do need to scroll, a new “Lock scroll” checkbox gives you control over whether the documents should scroll in sync, or scroll individually.
In order to enable diffing support for PDFs, you will need a PDF document that contains text information embedded in the document (such as when printing to PDF or using OCR on a scanned document). It’s also important to update the existing PDF file attachment with the new document, instead of creating a brand new upload.
Easier License Management
We’ve revamped the Power Pack configuration page to better show the status and health of your license, how quickly the expiration date is coming up or whether you’re hitting your user cap.
The new “Manage your license” button takes you straight to our license portal where you can renew your license, convert to a yearly subscription, add additional users, and more.
Power Pack now checks for updates to your license automatically when viewing the Power Pack configuration page, and will install any new license it finds. You no longer need to download and install new license files from the license portal yourself.
Plus the Usual Bug Fixes
We’ve sorted out some crashes and visual glitches in reports, as well as a compatibility problem with AWS CodeCommit. The full list of changes are in the release notes.

Andrew McCarthy posted an article yesterday at National Review about the question of raising the debt ceiling. Mr. McCarthy cites an article posted by Senator Pat Toomey at Real Clear Politics yesterday.
Senator Toomey states:
“On last Sunday morning’s talk shows, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner once again implied that, if the debt limit is not promptly raised, the United States will default on its debt and the resulting catastrophe will be the fault of congressional Republicans.
“But Secretary Geithner knows that congressional delay in raising the debt limit will in no way cause a default on our national debt. If Congress refuses to raise the debt ceiling, the federal government will still have more than enough money to fully service our debt. Next year, about 7 percent of all projected federal government expenditures will go to interest on our debt. Tax revenue is projected to cover at least 70 percent of all government expenditures. So, under any circumstances, there will be plenty of money to pay our creditors.”
Last month an op-ed in the Washington Times reported:
“While it is true Congress has never before refused to raise the debt ceiling, it has frequently taken its sweet time to do so. In 1985, Congress waited nearly three months after the debt limit was reached before authorizing a permanent increase. In 1995, 4 1/2 months passed between hitting the ceiling and congressional action. And in 2002, Congress delayed raising the debt ceiling for three months. In each case, the U.S. and the economy survived.”
The Washington Times further reports:
“[F]ederal revenues will reach $2.17 trillion this fiscal year. Interest payments on the nation’s debt are estimated to be $205 billion this year, or about 10 percent of revenues. Taking that payment off the top, as Mr. Toomey’s plan would, leaves $1.9 trillion for Congress to spend. That’s enough to pay for Social Security ($741 billion), Medicare ($488 billion), and Medicaid ($276 billion), with $395 billion left for other programs.”
That would be the fiscally responsible way to deal with the situation.
Mr. McCarthy concludes:
“The people running this government are never going to deal with this untenable situation unless and until it becomes untenable for them. The only way that will happen is if Congress refuses to raise the debt ceiling and forces the administration to prioritize payment of those obligations that must be paid to maintain our full faith and credit — for as Kevin and Veronique point out, this already perilous situation could be blown sky high if the interest rate we must pay to borrow spikes. Only when there is no way around it will we get serious consideration of what government should and should not do, and what kind of welfare state the public is willing to pay for.
“If we put it off, if we expand the credit card of a bankrupt Washington whose credit card needs to be cut to pieces right now, not only will our dire straits get worse. We won’t get to deal with them — we will be at the mercy of how they deal with us when the music finally stops.”
The Republicans in Congress need to have the backbone to stop the President from raising the debt ceiling. I don’t know if that is what will actually happen. What I suspect will happen is that the White House will say that if the debt ceiling is not raised, the military will not be paid, Social Security will not be paid, etc. There will be statements that the United States as we know it will be ‘over’ if the debt ceiling is not raised. President Obama has already stated that when he voted against raising the debt ceiling as a Senator, he was only being political. Now he is doing the right thing by asking that it be raised. If anyone believes that, he ought to be stopped from voting!
We don’t need to raise the debt ceiling. We don’t need to raise taxes. We need to stop the spending. If the current Republicans do not have the backbone to do that, then we need new Republicans.


title: Do barristers know about marshalls community closet

text:
The Community Closet has been in the making since last semester from students Daniel Jammal and Hayley Rodriguez and their teachers, Ms. Mabel Wong and Ms. Katie Feek. They have helped create this resource to benefit students and reduce fast fashion’s carbon emissions. Fast fashion is clothes that we own but don’t wear anymore because of many reasons; it could be out of style, won’t fit, etc. So we throw them away. This means these textiles go to our landfill which increases the carbon emissions levels and makes climate change worse. The students here at Marshall want to help break that habit and start to recycle and reuse these clothes.
Making this resource wasn’t easy for the Community Closet crew. When they spoke to our principal, Mr. Juan Puentes, he approved the community closet and allowed them to start creating posters. After they created the posters and hung them up all that was left was to start getting donations but they had a minor setback due to not being approved by ASB leadership. So they needed to file the correct paperwork. Once everything was approved they had their first rack on “Say Hey” Day where they displayed all of their recent donations. When speaking to Ms. Feek she said, “ We want to be like Suay; they reuse clothes and textiles and move people to recycle and create a good community base for our planet.”
Jammal and Rodriguez highlight the free aspect of these donations because they want to inform Barristers that their clothes can and are being reused and that this is the purpose of clothes that you don’t wear anymore. Barristers can find Community Closet donation boxes in the Main Office, Attendance Office and in Room 729 with Ms. Feek.
For now, students can shop at Community Closet’s racks at lunchtime events, but the group expects more opportunities next school year. The organizers said all students need to do to begin shopping is to sign in (so they can keep track of how many students took clothes and the number of pieces) and there is no limit [to the amount] of what students can get. Lastly, the community Closet crew say that they hear students who made donations see other students in their clothes around campus creating [and that’s already] a positive outcome.

Puerto Rican Hot Dogs Are All About The Toppings
Every country has its own street food, usually made with a variety of local ingredients that showcase the culinary spirit of the region. Puerto Rico is no exception, and although it's a U.S. territory, it has an amazingly rich food history. Puerto Rican cuisine, like many island cuisines, is a mix of influences. Indigenous people of the island, Taínos and Arawaks, cooked with local seasonings, fruits, and vegetables, later incorporating African, Spanish, Cuban, Mexican, and American influences into the food. Walking the streets of Puerto Rico you'll see arepas (fry bread), mofongo (fried plantains), elotes (street corn), and hot dogs. Lots of hot dogs. Hot dog stands can be found all over the island, particularly near its beaches. It's hard to know if the origin of hot dogs in Puerto Rico is American or European. Arguably the hot dog is all-American food, but do we know the difference between hot dogs and frankfurters from Germany? One thing we know is that hot dogs are a beloved street food, and when they're done the Puerto Rican way, it's all about the toppings.
Just as American hot dogs aim to please the masses with their versatility of toppings, Puerto Rican dogs can be customized in multiple ways, too. There are common elements to the American hot dog: boiled all-beef dog, bun, ketchup, mustard, and onions. However, additional toppings that reflect the vibrant, blended food culture of the island are key elements to what makes a Puerto Rican hot dog singular.
What toppings go on a Puerto Rican hot dog?
There are so many hot dog stands in Puerto Rico that you don't have to walk far to find one. You can get a plain old dog with mustard if you'd like, but try one made in the Boricua style. One great combination to try is a hot dog with pico de gallo and mozzarella cheese. Or choose a salchicha polaca (Polish sausage) instead of a beef frank. But no matter what you order, you'd be remiss if you didn't ask for a fully loaded dog.
This hot dog starts with a boiled frank, and then it's piled high with ground beef picadillo, an empanada filling cooked with potatoes, adobo, sazon seasoning, sofrito (a basic preparation of garlic, onion, peppers, and tomatoes), olives, and tomato sauce. Next, sauerkraut is added along with some onions cooked in tomato sauce, then ketchup, mustard, and the final two ingredients that make this hot dog a thing of Boricua pride: cheese sauce and potato sticks. Not French fries, potato sticks. Remember the salty, crunchy julienned-style potato snacks that come in a canister? They are the Puerto Rican hot dog topper you must not forsake. The potato sticks add the crunch, and the salt balances out the sourness of the kraut. If you can't make it to Puerto Rico, pick up some ingredients and surprise the family with a hot dog from the "rich port."


title: New war rooms unveiled to drive fcssip 25 implementation federal permanent secretaries propose key reforms and emphasize centralized technology at zuba retreat

text:
In a recent announcement, Didi Walson-Jack, Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, revealed the creation of “War Rooms” to facilitate and oversee the implementation of the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2021-2025. According to Walson-Jack, these War Rooms will serve as essential centers for managing and monitoring the reforms outlined in the plan, addressing each of its six pillars and critical enablers.
The announcement was made during a retreat with Federal Permanent Secretaries held in Zuba, Niger State. Eno Olotu, Director of Press at the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, provided details in a statement released on Wednesday. The War Rooms are designed to tackle the specific challenges associated with each pillar of the reform plan, aiming to streamline and enhance civil service reforms effectively.
Didi Walson-Jack, Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, has announced the establishment of “War Rooms” to enhance the management and monitoring of the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2021-2025. These War Rooms are set to focus on the six pillars and crucial enablers of the reform plan, each tailored to address specific challenges associated with the respective pillars.
Walson-Jack made this announcement during a retreat with Federal Permanent Secretaries held in Zuba, Niger State. According to Eno Olotu, Director of Press at the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, the War Rooms will be led by Permanent Secretaries and will involve all key stakeholders. The initiative aims to ensure swift, coordinated action in advancing the reforms.
Walson-Jack emphasized that the goal of these War Rooms is to “win” these “wars” by successfully implementing the reforms, ultimately benefiting both the Federal Civil Service and the Nigerian public.
In a recent effort to accelerate the implementation of the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2021-2025 (FCSSIP-25), Federal Permanent Secretaries have conducted a comprehensive review of the plan’s six pillars and enablers. This review took place during syndicated sessions led by Dr. Deborah Bako Odoh, Permanent Secretary of the Service Policies and Strategies Office.
During these sessions, the Permanent Secretaries proposed new Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and activities aimed at enhancing the plan’s content and ensuring that initiatives align with established targets. This collaborative approach is intended to enrich the FCSSIP-25 and facilitate its effective execution.
During the retreat, participants highlighted the critical need to centralize technology solutions to drive the implementation of Enterprise Content Management and Performance Management Systems across the Public Service. This recognition underscores the importance of prompt and coordinated action to address this need.
Centralizing these systems is anticipated to streamline processes, ensure uniformity across all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs), and improve overall efficiency and transparency in service delivery.
In her welcome remarks at the recent retreat, Fatima Mahmood, Permanent Secretary of the Career Management Office at the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF), highlighted the event as a collective commitment to transforming the Nigerian public service. She emphasized the aim to create a service defined by efficiency, innovation, and dedication to service delivery.
Raymond Omachi, Permanent Secretary of the Common Services Office, expressed his appreciation for the participants’ robust discussions and steadfast commitment throughout the retreat.
The three-day event included a series of thought-provoking presentations on topics such as creativity, innovation, and the application of Artificial Intelligence to boost efficiency and productivity. Additionally, sessions covered essential subjects including the pillars of the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2021-2025 (FCSSIP-25), Enterprise Content Management, digitalization, and the Performance Management System.


title: Wike slams obi for rejecting presidential tribunal verdict

text:
Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has argued that although the Labour Party’s (LP) 2023 presidential candidate lost at the presidential Tribunal on Wednesday, the judiciary was correct when he successfully reclaimed his position as governor of Anambra State in 2007.
Wike made this assertion on Thursday when he featured on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme.
“Did Peter Obi not win at the Supreme Court when he was removed as governor? Did he pay bribe? Let him tell the world now,” Wike said.
“When he was removed as a governor, did he not reclaim his mandate at the Supreme Court? Judiciary was right but now that the decision happened, judiciary is wrong.”

The FCT Minister also said he is a realist and he knew Obi won’t win the February 25, 2023 poll.
“I know that he won’t win the election. Let me tell you the truth, I am a realist,” the FCT minister said, explaining that he supported Tinubu rather than Obi or Atiku, who happened to be in the same party as himself (Wike).
“For me, the way the election went, it was a tough election. I give it to INEC (the Independent National Electoral Commission),” he said.
Wike said sentiments aside, Obi couldn’t have won the election. “Yes, as a young man, people would have preferred that but look at how the votes went,” he said.
“There is this generational change, the young people were tired. So, for them, the only hope they had was to vote for Obi as a younger person compared to other candidates.
“But unknown to them, that is not the reality of Nigerian politics. They didn’t take into cognisance that ethnicity is a factor. They didn’t take into cognisance that religion is a factor, not only competence; that is the reality of Nigerian politics,” the ex-governor of Rivers State said.
The petitions of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), the PDP and its presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, the LP, and Obi were all rejected by the Presidential Election Petition Court in a 12-hour marathon ruling on Wednesday.
In addition to dismissing the aggregated petitions of the PDP, the APM, and the LP, the five-person panel headed by Justice Haruna Tsammani also unequivocally confirmed Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, as the winner of the presidential election.
Both Atiku and Obi have declared they will appeal the Tribunal’s decision to the Supreme Court.

title: The debt binge who to blame

text:
Has anyone else noticed the large swath of BNZ articles turning up around the internet, both on the Rates Blog and on Business Day (they also do more writing on their homepage). It is good – I like seeing economists getting out there and writing things.
Anyway, while I was looking through all these articles I noticed one by Tony Alexander on our “borrowing binge“. Now he is exactly right that households will, at some point, have to pay off debt. However, he does not cover the fact that households can also take on debt – as long as incomes are rising, households will be able to sustain larger and larger amounts of debt. This is an important point, and as a result I feel that his article appears to create more panic around debt levels then is really necessary.
Furthermore, I found it a bit unusual that BNZ was going on about how:
We (as a country) borrow a lot but we save sod all and that is where the vulnerability of our entire economy is increased to the attitudes of investors offshore from which we banks need to source money to keep funding the over-spending of New Zealand households
Isn’t this ignoring the role that retail banks have in determining who receives credit, and setting an appropriate interest rate in that environment. If bank’s had set higher interest rates, there would have been less need for “overseas sourced funds” – why is he blaming the household that took advantage of the low interest rates rather than the banking institutions which kept them at what he appears to be calling an inappropriate level?
He then also says:
That vulnerability is manifesting itself currently in interest rates sitting at much higher levels than would otherwise be the case because the risk premium we pay offshore to borrow money from these people has increased in the past year from 0.1 per cent to over 1.5 per cent.
However, wasn’t our debt position also this bad last year? The risk premium has increased because global economic uncertainty has changed peoples expectations and seen them reprice risk. As a result, the increase in rates is the result of this repricing, not just the fact that we have “high” debt levels.
Another point I would add on this is that, if the banks are setting rates “too low” (as it appears Tony Alexander is saying – without directly blaming banks) then the re-pricing of international risk will simply be a response which will set domestic interest rates at an appropriate level.
Now you guys can discuss this 🙂 (I will try to have more interesting posts up when I’m not sick – maybe by next week. For now you guys will just get stuck with reactionary, dazed, stuff 😛 )


title: Entry level driver eldt class a

text:
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers are projected to have 241,200 job openings annually, on average, by 2032. With the proper training and license, this profession can be a well-paying and high-demand occupation—making now a great time to enter this field. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has established minimum training standards for individuals applying for their Class A commercial driver's license (CDL) for the first time. These individuals must complete entry-level driver training (ELDT) requirements, which include both theoretical and behind-the-wheel (BTW) components.
This Class A CDL training course is designed to only meet all theory (knowledge) requirements listed in The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 49 CFR Part 380, Special Training Requirements. Your ELDT course includes sections covering basic operation, safe operating procedures, advanced operating practices, vehicle systems and reporting malfunctions, and non-driving activities—all essential to obtaining your Class A driver's license. This Class A CDL course was created in collaboration with an approved training provider listed on FMCSA's Training Provider Registry (TPR).
After successfully completing this Class A CDL training, you will be better equipped to obtain your Class A CDL by fulfilling the FMCSA training standards. Our system will automatically upload your ELDT records to the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) TPR once you pass the final exam. Once you fulfill other federal training requirements, such as behind-the-wheel training, you can take your state's CDL test. Once you successfully pass the CDL test, you will be issued a state CDL and may be eligible to work for companies that operate Class A trucks in commerce.
This CDL ELDT prep course is excluded from ed2go standard refund and transfer policies. Once access to your Class A CDL course is provided, no refunds or transfers will be allowed. This course includes the required ELDT theory exams for each of the units.; it does NOT include the behind-the-wheel training, cost of the CDL test, or other state exam charges.
Students in Virginia should be aware that online training for any of ELDT's offerings is not permitted in this state. This course will not be recognized for you.
