text:

One such debate revolves around the characters Guren Ichinose and Shinya Saito from the popular series Seraph of the End. Fans are keen to understand whether their relationship is canon, meaning it is officially recognized within the storyline by the creators. This article explores their relationship dynamics, the evidence supporting their bond, and perspectives from the fan community to determine the nature of their canon status.
Quick Info Table
Character | Role | Relationship with Guren | Notable Traits |
Guren Ichinose | Leader of the Moon Demon Company | Close ally and friend | Charismatic, strategic thinker |
Shinya Saito | Captain in the Japanese Imperial Demon Army | Loyal friend and trusted comrade | Brave, skilled warrior |
Understanding Guren and Shinya
Guren Ichinose serves as a prominent figure in Seraph of the End, known for his leadership skills and charismatic personality. He is characterized by his determination to protect humanity and his willingness to take risks for his friends. His complex moral compass often leads him into morally gray situations, making him a compelling character.
In contrast, Shinya Saito plays the role of a captain in the Japanese Imperial Demon Army. He is depicted as a brave and skilled warrior who prioritizes duty and loyalty. Shinya’s strong sense of honor and commitment to his comrades adds depth to his character, which resonates with fans.
The Nature of Their Relationship
The relationship between Guren and Shinya is multifaceted, characterized by camaraderie, trust, and a deep-seated bond. Throughout the series, their interactions reveal a friendship that goes beyond mere professional respect. They share moments of vulnerability and support, particularly in high-stakes situations where their lives are at risk.
Evidence of Canon Status
Shared Experiences: Guren and Shinya's shared battles against formidable enemies create a foundation for their relationship. They often find themselves relying on one another, showcasing a bond built on mutual trust and respect.
Emotional Depth: Several scenes highlight their emotional connection. For instance, Guren’s concern for Shinya’s well-being during battles suggests a deeper level of care that transcends friendship. Similarly, Shinya often expresses admiration for Guren's leadership, indicating a profound connection.
Fan Interpretations: The fandom has actively engaged in discussions about the nuances of Guren and Shinya's relationship. Many fans interpret their interactions as suggestive of deeper feelings, citing specific scenes that depict emotional closeness. While these interpretations vary, they contribute to the ongoing conversation about the nature of their connection.
Despite the compelling evidence supporting their bond, some fans argue that the relationship lacks explicit romantic confirmation from the creators. The ambiguity surrounding their feelings allows for a range of interpretations, leading to debates about what constitutes a "canon" relationship. Critics of the romantic interpretation point to the lack of direct romantic interactions, such as confessions or overt displays of affection, as reasons to consider their bond purely platonic.
Exploring Fan Theories
The notion of a romantic relationship between Guren and Shinya has gained traction among certain segments of the fanbase. Fans often create fan art, fan fiction, and discussions that explore romantic themes, highlighting moments in the series that they believe hint at deeper feelings. For instance, the way Guren looks out for Shinya during battles is often cited as evidence of a potential romantic connection.
Conversely, many fans maintain that Guren and Shinya’s bond is grounded in friendship and loyalty. They argue that their relationship exemplifies the beauty of platonic love, where individuals can share a deep emotional connection without romantic implications. Supporters of this view often emphasize the importance of strong friendships in the narrative, which is equally valuable and significant.
Conclusion: Canon or Not?
Determining whether Guren Ichinose and Shinya Saito are canonically a couple ultimately hinges on individual interpretation of their relationship. The evidence within the series points to a strong bond characterized by trust and emotional depth. However, the lack of explicit romantic confirmation leaves room for varying interpretations.
As fans continue to engage in discussions surrounding Guren and Shinya, their relationship stands as a testament to the complexities of character connections in anime. Whether viewed through a romantic or platonic lens, their bond enriches the narrative of Seraph of the End, providing viewers with a multifaceted understanding of friendship and loyalty.
In the end, fans may choose to embrace the ambiguity of Guren and Shinya's relationship, reveling in the dynamic possibilities it presents. This open-endedness invites a deeper appreciation for character development and the diverse ways in which connections can be portrayed in storytelling.

I had always known that Latin America and the United States have had a tumultuous relationship, but I have never thought about how truly complex it was. Just by reading Chapter 6 in the textbook, I got a fair idea of how truly damaging yet necessary this relationship was.
I really enjoyed reading about the banana republics, because I like bananas; they’re a staple in many homes, so reading the history of how they gained popularity was very interesting. It is also a fantastic example of the conflicting relationship that Latin America had with their northern neighbours. The United Fruit Company (UFCO) became a critical entity in the south, especially in Guatemala. The banana business brought many benefits, including employment, and further investment into Guatemala’s infrastructure. UFCO also operated schools, hospitals, radio-stations, banks, breweries and hotels. Overall, it seems that UFCO was a great thing in Latin America! Unfortunately, it wasn’t all that it was made out to be.
Banana zones, while employing tens of thousands, brought about a lot of consequences, since they required a lot of migrant labour. The workers lived in company housing, with less than ideal conditions, away from their families, and often, they did not speak the local language. This lead to the banana zone communities to have high rates of alcohol abuse, prostitution and violence. As Dawson said, “workers often chafed at their own work conditions and pay” but being employed by UFCO was better than being employed elsewhere. This is the sad truth that many, including UFCO, did not acknowledge, and that is truly unfortunate. It makes me sad because nowadays, it is most likely still happening, and I think of places like Singapore, where migrant workers make up a significant portion of the construction industry. Could it be that imperialism still exists in a different form, one which nobody wishes to acknowledge?
I found the readings interesting because they made me look at modern commodities in a different light; acknowledging their history and how they became commodities in the modern day and age. It has also made me think of modern imperialism and if it still exists as an incarnate form. What are your thoughts? Do you believe a form of imperialism exists? If so, where? What do you think are the positive and negative effects of such situations?

Announcements mark key milestone to protect water and health
Environment America Research and Policy Center
WASHINGTON — In twin victories for clean water, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced Wednesday that it will update water pollution control standards for both meat and poultry processing plants and for the release of PFAS chemicals.
With regard to slaughterhouses, the agency’s commitment comes one month after Environment America Research & Policy Center published a map illustrating meat and poultry processing plants pollution. The standards update is also required by the Clean Water Act, as Environment America and several other organizations represented by Environmental Integrity Project and Earthjustice have maintained in a federal court case filed in 2019.
In response to EPA’s announcement, Environment America’s Clean Water Program Director John Rumpler issued the following statement:
“The EPA’s announcement is good news for clean water.
“Slaughterhouses are putting our waterways at risk. These processing plants are dumping pollutants that contribute to dead zones, drinking water contamination, toxic algal outbreaks, fish kills and pathogens that can make swimmers sick. Many of these facilities are located in the Mississippi River watershed, where pollution flows in August caused a dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico that was larger than the state of Connecticut. Despite these appalling conditions, pollution control standards for these slaughterhouses have remained unchanged since 2004.
“In committing to update slaughterhouse standards, the EPA is following the demands of both the law and its mission to ensure that all our waterways are clean. Hopefully, the new rules will be strong enough to stop facilities that produce our food from polluting our water.”
“Likewise, the EPA’s decision to rein in PFAS pollution is a crucial step toward safe drinking water. Companies have dumped ‘forever chemicals’ into our rivers, even as these toxins have been linked to multiple types of cancer, lower fertility rates, autoimmune diseases and a laundry list of other health problems. As many as 200 million Americans are likely to have these chemicals in their drinking water, according to a recent analysis.
“With PFAS chemicals, we’ve poisoned our own drinking water for the sake of non-stick convenience. The least we should do now is stop dumping these toxic chemicals into our rivers and streams.”

title: Maternity services update 5 june

text:
The review of Castlemaine Health’s maternity services continues this week, with the review team onsite for their interviews with Castlemaine Health Board members, Executive, staff, GP obstetricians, Bendigo Health representatives and patients.
The review is headed up by Dr Rupert Sherwood who is supported by Ms Lisa Smith, the Midwife Reviewer. Ms Smith is a registered midwife and nurse currently working at Joan Kirner Women’s and Children’s Hospital as the Maternity Services Operations Manager. Ms Smith has extensive experience in health management and maternity outcomes assessment. She has wide-ranging knowledge of birthing under a range of care models, with a strong appreciation of the challenges facing midwives in both high and lower resource settings.
Castlemaine Health, the Department of Health and Human Services, Safer Care Victoria and the local community are committed to retaining the highly valued local maternity service. Castlemaine Health has engaged with Bendigo Health to provide additional support to help strengthen the service.
Ian Fisher, CEO said: “The focus will be on the procedures, policies, clinical practice protocols and maternity clinical governance systems that determine our capacity, capability and safety of our maternity service. Castlemaine Health has temporally paused its maternity services while the review is being conducted.
Castlemaine Health provides level 2 maternity care for normal risk women with healthy pregnancies, with pregnancy care provided in the community by the local GP obstetricians. Labour birthing and domiciliary care are provided in collaboration with the local GP obstetricians and Castlemaine Health midwives. Women who require a higher level of maternity care during their pregnancies or labour are transferred mainly to Bendigo Health, a level 5 maternity service, and occasionally to the tertiary maternity services in Melbourne.
Ian Fisher said: “The objectives and scope of the review make clear that our priority is ensuring the service is safe and of the highest quality for our maternity patients. The review is progressing on schedule. We will return maternity services to normal as soon as possible. I’d like to thank the community and our GP obstetricians for their support.”
The review seeks to assure the Board, the Department of Health and Human Services and Safer Care Victoria that the service is operating in line with the appropriate quality and safety standards.

title: First thunderbolt 5 cables launched abroad

text:
The first Thunderbolt 5 cables, a technology developed by Intel, have hit the market. They represent a significant advance in performance and data transmission capacity. Cable Matters announced the shipment of the first three certified Thunderbolt 5 cable models, available for purchase on Amazon.
The cables are available in three different lengths: 0.3 meters, 0.5 meters and 1 meter, priced at US$ 23, US$ 27 and US$ 33, respectively. However, they require Thunderbolt 5-compatible equipment to be effectively used, such as computers and accessories that support this new technology.
So far, the only known laptop that has a Thunderbolt 5 port is the Razer Blade 18. However, only the Mercury edition, which costs $4,500, does. This model also includes an Intel i9 processor and an RTX 4090 mobile graphics card. However, the limited devices available limit access to the technology.
The cables offer up to 120 Gbps unidirectional bandwidth and can deliver up to 240 watts of power. This capability allows you to connect high-performance devices such as external SSDs, eGPUs (external graphics processing units), and high-resolution, high-refresh-rate displays, all via a single cable.
However, the lack of commercially available peripherals that support the new Thunderbolt 5 standard is still a barrier to wider adoption of the technology. Major accessory makers like Belkin, J5Create, OWC, and Sabrent do not yet list Thunderbolt 5-compatible products on their websites, and Hyper lists its $400 dock as out of stock.
The cables will be produced by Lintes, a company that had already supplied a prototype cable seen at CES. The expectation is that the launch of devices capable of receiving the technology will facilitate the dissemination of the cable in the market.

title: Conference environmental management provides students new platform

text:
Rewarding is how one student is describing her experience at Lakeland College's inaugural Conference on Environmental Management.
Held on Feb. 26 at the Vermilion Regional Centre, the event featured capstone presentations by second-year bachelor of applied science: environmental management (BASEM) degree students, plenary speakers and more.
“They’ve created this awesome platform for us to present and they've created great networking opportunities,” says Stephanie Over, a BASEM student. “It was a great day and a great turnout. Everything ran smoothly and I am very grateful that Lakeland has put in this much work to make such a great event – it’s been very rewarding to be a part of."
Over received the $500 Trace Associates award for her project presentation, Assessing Characteristic Species Establishment on Syncrude’s Upland Reclamation Areas. After spending eight months at the Vermilion campus with the BASEM program, Over worked with Syncrude Canada’s research team in Fort McMurray, Alta., for eight months on practicum.
"I really enjoy environmental reclamation and Syncrude is doing environmental reclamation at the largest scale you could imagine. I don't think my experience would have been what it was without my team that I had there. They were all very welcoming and happy to answer any questions that I had,” says Over, who completed a bachelor of science degree at Trent University prior to enrolling at Lakeland. “This practicum experience provides you with that real-world work experience that you don't get from most degree programs.”
For Tara Voogd, who received the $500 Nikola Tesla Historical Society of Alberta award for her project presentation, the conference was an exciting opportunity to learn what other BASEM students had worked on during their practicum.
Voogd spent her practicum exploring the presence of two aquatic invasive species in Strathcona County, Alta. “It was great to be hands-on and working with live specimens,” she says.
Before taking the BASEM program, Voogd completed a biological sciences diploma at NAIT.
“Lakeland’s program really helped prepare us with technical writing and reporting, and the methodology – all of the tiny details before you actually get out there and do all of the work. It gave me so much knowledge on many different subjects that I could create a good sampling program that helped me to find the specimens that I did.”
In addition to the practicum presentations, the 2019 Conference on Environmental Management included presentations from: Mathew Pyper, an ecologist and science communicator with Fuse Consulting; Dr. Craig Farnden with Syncrude Canada; Michael Burak, a Lakeland College alum and program director at the Nature Conservancy of Canada; and Mara Erickson with the North Saskatchewan Watershed Alliance. David Lloyd, from the Alberta Institute of Agrologists (AIA), spoke with students about being an AIA member, and ECO Canada’s Dr. Yogendra Chaudhry discussed opportunities available to host agencies and industry partners hiring practicum students and new graduates.


title: Custom flower pots enhancing your home or garden with personalized planters

text:
Flower pots are an essential item for anyone who wants to add a touch of nature and color to their home or garden. Custom flower pots, in particular, offer an excellent opportunity to not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your outdoor space but also personalize it according to your preferences.
Customized planters can take on various forms – from personalized engravings and hand-painted designs to unique shapes and sizes. These customizations allow homeowners and gardening enthusiasts alike to create truly one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect their personalities and tastes. In this article, we will explore the benefits of using customized flower pots as well as some tips for choosing the right planter for your specific needs.
Benefits Of Custom Flower Pots
Custom flower pots provide a unique and personalized touch to any home or garden. These planters are often designed with specific colors, materials, and shapes that match the aesthetic of a space. In addition to their decorative value, custom flower pots have several benefits that make them worth considering for your planting needs.
One of the primary advantages of custom flower pots is their ability to cater to different types of plants. Whether you want to grow succulents, herbs, or flowers, there is a planter out there that can accommodate your chosen greenery. Custom planters allow you to choose the size and depth of the pot, ensuring that your plants have enough room to grow comfortably.
Another benefit of custom flower pots is their durability. Unlike mass-produced planters made from cheap materials, customized options are built with quality in mind. This means that they will last longer and withstand harsh weather conditions without breaking down or losing their appeal.
Incorporating custom flower pots into your gardening strategy requires careful consideration of various factors such as location, design style, and functionality. In the next section, we’ll explore some tips on how to select the right planter for your space based on these criteria.
Choosing The Right Planter For Your Space
After learning about the benefits of custom flower pots, it is important to choose the right planter for your space. A well-chosen planter can enhance the beauty of a surrounding area and provide an ideal growing environment for plants. The first step in this process is determining where you want to place your planter.
Consider the size and shape of your desired location. If it’s a small space, opt for a smaller pot that won’t overpower the area. If you have more room, larger planters will work well without looking cramped. Additionally, think about how much sun exposure your planting site receives. Some plants need full sunlight while others thrive in partial shade, so selecting a suitable container based on its compatibility with light conditions becomes essential.
After assessing these factors, selecting personalized engravings or designs can add another layer of uniqueness to your custom flower pot. Engraving options include names, dates, quotes or pictures that make each piece special and personal to those who own them. Designs are also available in various styles such as geometric patterns or floral motifs–these elements can be customized according to preferences ensuring that every detail is tailored specifically towards one’s style and taste.
Transition: With all these considerations taken into account when choosing the right planter for your space, let us now explore some ideas on how to personalize your custom flower pot further through engravings and designs.
Personalizing Your Planter With Engravings And Designs
One of the most popular ways to personalize your custom flower pot is through engravings and designs. This allows you to add a unique touch to your planter that reflects your personal style or complements the aesthetics of your home or garden. There are several options for engraving, such as etching, laser printing, or hand stamping, which can be done on various materials like metal, wood, ceramic, or terracotta.
Engraved planters could feature anything from names and initials to symbols and patterns. Some people prefer inspirational quotes or messages while others opt for images of their favorite plants, animals, or landscapes. You could also choose to have your business logo engraved if you’re using custom flower pots for commercial purposes. Whatever design you select should reflect the purpose of the planter and enhance its overall appeal.
It’s important to note that some materials may not be suitable for certain types of engravings due to texture or color limitations. Additionally, different methods may require varying costs and lead times depending on complexity and quantity. Therefore, it’s recommended that you consult with a professional artisan who specializes in custom engraving before finalizing your order.
Unique Shapes And Sizes For Custom Flower Pots
As you walk through a garden, it’s natural to notice the unique shapes and sizes of different flower pots. Customization offers an opportunity for your planters to stand out even more with personalized designs that reflect your style. Whether you prefer round or square pots, tall or short ones, there are endless possibilities available.
One popular option is choosing unusual shapes such as triangular or hexagonal planters. These can add visual interest to any space and showcase plants in a new way. For those who want something truly one-of-a-kind, custom-shaped containers can be created to fit specific spaces or match particular themes.
In addition to shape, customized flower pots also offer flexibility when it comes to size. Larger pots allow for bigger plants and deeper root systems while smaller ones work well for herbs and succulents. Moreover, altering pot dimensions can help create focal points in outdoor settings by drawing attention towards specific areas of interest like corners or entryways. With all these options at hand, finding the right combination of shapes and sizes will make your custom flower pots stand out from the crowd.
As important as aesthetics are in designing customized flower pots, maintenance should not be overlooked either. The next section covers tips on how to keep your unique planters looking their best so they can continue enhancing your home or garden for years to come.
Tips For Maintaining Your Customized Flower Pots
Having personalized flower pots is a great way to add some character and uniqueness to your home or garden. However, it’s important to maintain them properly in order for them to last longer and keep looking their best.
One of the most crucial aspects of maintaining customized flower pots is watering them correctly. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while under-watered plants will wilt and die quickly. It’s important to pay attention to the specific needs of each plant you have in your custom pot, as different species require varying amounts of water.
Another important tip for keeping your personalized flower pots healthy is choosing the right soil mixture. Different plants prefer different types of soil, so make sure you’re using the correct one for each type of plant you have in your planter. Additionally, adding fertilizer at regular intervals can help ensure that your plants are getting all the nutrients they need.
Proper maintenance is key when it comes to ensuring that your custom flower pots remain vibrant and beautiful throughout the seasons. By following these tips on watering, soil selection, and fertilizing practices, you’ll be able to enjoy your unique planters for many years to come without having to worry about any issues with upkeep or longevity.
Custom flower pots can be a great addition to your home or garden, providing both aesthetic appeal and functionality. With the ability to choose the right planter for your space and personalize it with engravings and designs, you can create a unique piece that is tailored to your individual taste.
One interesting statistic shows that according to a study conducted by The National Gardening Association, over 77 million households in the United States participated in some form of gardening activity in 2018. This highlights the increasing interest people have in enhancing their outdoor spaces and adding natural beauty to their surroundings. Customized flower pots are one way to achieve this goal while also expressing personal style and creativity.
Whether you opt for traditional terracotta planters or more modern materials such as fiberglass or metal, customizing flower pots is an easy way to elevate your decor. Unique shapes and sizes offer even more opportunities for customization, allowing you to find the perfect fit for any location. By following simple maintenance tips, such as proper watering techniques and regular cleaning, your customized flower pots will continue to enhance your home or garden for years to come.


title: John twin mcnamara award comhaltas

text:
Comhaltas Gradam na hÉigse Award celebrates decades of dedication to Irish Traditional Arts and the preservation of culture in Achill and beyond.
Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann has bestowed a prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award upon John ‘Twin’ McNamara in recognition of his outstanding contribution to Irish traditional music, culture and community life. The Gradam na hÉigse award was presented by Coiste Scoil Acla in a special ceremony this week at John’s home.
The honour comes as 2025 marks the 40th anniversary of the revival of Scoil Acla, the celebrated summer school of Irish traditional arts, which John, alongside his wife Mary, Tommy “The Boley” McNamara, Father John Cosgrave and many dedicated locals, brought back to life in 1985. Since its revival, Scoil Acla has flourished, becoming a beacon of cultural preservation and artistic expression in Achill and beyond.
Sarah Calvey, Cathaoirleach of Scoil Acla CCÉ, praised John’s lifelong dedication, stating:
“John Twin McNamara has been the heartbeat of Scoil Acla for four decades. His unwavering commitment to the promotion of our language, music and heritage has left an indelible mark not just on Achill, but on the wider traditional arts community. This award is a fitting tribute to a man whose legacy will inspire generations to come.”
Under John’s stewardship and vision, Scoil Acla has grown from modest beginnings into a nationally and internationally recognised celebration of Irish tradition, attracting artists, musicians and learners from across the globe each summer.
“The Gradam na hÉigse award is one of the highest honours within the Comhaltas organisation and stands as a testament to John’s enduring impact, not only as a custodian of tradition, but as a cultural leader whose work has ensured the vitality and relevance of traditional music, song and heritage for years to come.” Ms. Calvey concluded.

Vanstone blasts ALP 'anti-visa' stance
October 16, 2006 – 7:54PM
The Age (Melbourne)
A plan by Labor to withdraw support for the government's contentious temporary protection visas will invite people smugglers to “come on down”, Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone says.
The ALP's social policy committee last week recommended the party advocate for the abolition of the three-year visas.
TPVs are given to refugees who arrive in Australia illegally and are found to need protection, but give them less access to social services than those on permanent visas.
Senator Vanstone said the opposition's possible change of heart over the visas could encourage a new wave of illegal asylum seekers.
“Scrapping TPVs would send a clear message to people smugglers and their potential clients that they should risk their lives on the treacherous seas north of Australia to reach our shores,” she said in a statement.
“(Opposition immigration spokesman Tony) Burke's telling people smugglers to come on down.
“Just floating this change could in itself encourage a new wave of unauthorised boat arrivals.”
Labor for Refugees, an ALP sub-group, says it will campaign to have the party's official support for TPVs dumped at next year's national conference.
“In the run-up to April we'll be talking to party members, branches and unions about why permanent protection is the way to go,” the group's co-convener Daniel Mookhey said.
“Australians have always treated the less fortunate fairly and with compassion. It's about time we have a government that does the same,” he said in a statement.
Mr Burke released a statement last week saying he would consider the party's social policy committee report.
“Earlier this year, as part of a wider review, I asked the Labor social policy committee to consider the appropriateness of TPVs given international developments since the policy was last considered,” he said.

As of Dec 31, 2012, some users have reported that there routers and possible other D-Link products have exhibited odd behavior or the inability to set or graduate the YEAR date to 2013. Some products have stalled or have not graduated to the new year, 2013. This seems to be due to the limitation of the firmware in the manual settings on the products web page. Usually found under TOOLS/TIME.
I have forwarded this onto D-Link and others have reported this as well to them.
They responded and recommend the following:
"We are currently working on the issue, for now, as a work around, we are suggesting for those customers that can, to set up NTP and move to that method of updating the time and date. Several F/W updates are coming and we should be able to move forward fixing this issue."
Most products have preset NTP server addresses that can be used and selected from the drop down menu when the NTP server check mark is enabled.
I believe that DST doesn't need to be set as the NTP server should automatically update the time depending on the Time Zone selected and when DST hits during the 2 times per year and for those regions who use DST.
If there are any problems with setting up NTP server options, please post in the product forums for you specific model and we'll try to help you out or phone contact your local D-Link support office and report the problem and request there help if needed.
Current effected known and LIVE supported products at this time are:
DIR-615, DIR-825 Rev B1, DAP-1360 Rev A, DAP-1533, DAP-2553, DIR-665
Any other effected products please post them and I'll add them to the list.
Products not effected and verified:
DIR-655 Rev B1, DIR-857, DIR-865L, DIR-657, DIR-645, DGL-4500
Any other non-effected products please post them and I'll add them to the list.
Thank you for your patience. If this issue is not resolved by a FW update, it's recommended that users change out the router for a new model router or a model router that is not effected by this issue.


title: 3 things to consider when choosing an injury doctor

text:
Try as we might, sometimes, we just end up with an injury. Whether it’s through exercising, playing sports, doing household chores, or even showering. We can’t predict an injury, and most often than not, they occur on weekends and holidays or after office hours when doctors’ clinics are closed and a visit to the emergency constitutes a lot of waiting.
If you have sustained an injury, go to your nearest urgent care clinic in Rochester. Unfortunately, not all walk-in clinics are created equal. Here are 3 things to consider when choosing a doctor for urgent injury treatment.
Experience is critical when it comes to choosing an injury doctor. You want to choose a physician who has extensive experience treating patients with injuries similar to yours. Emergency room doctors are among the most experienced doctors when it comes to treating injuries that require immediate medical attention. In fact, they are trained to deal with any type of emergency, from cuts and wounds to broken bones to traumatic injuries. If you can, choose an injury doctor with emergency room (ER) experience. Ultimately, the more experience a doctor has, the better equipped they will be to properly diagnose and treat your injury.
#2 The Ability to Perform a Range of Minor Procedures
Most urgent care providers are limited in the procedures they can perform. For instance, they may be able to apply a cast to treat a broken bone, but it makes a big difference if the injury doctor you choose can perform a range of minor procedures which includes casting and bracing, as well as suturing, abscess drainage, the delivery of medication orally, via injection, or suppositories, administering IV fluids, and more.
In an emergency, time is of the essence, and you need a doctor who is easily accessible – one who can provide you with medical care as quickly as possible, even during evening hours, weekends, and holidays. Urgent care clinics never require an appointment and are typically open 365 days a year, which makes receiving medical care the most accessible. You want an injury doctor in a clinic that is committed to providing little or no wait times to their patients.
Injury Doctor in Rochester, NY
Our urgent care doctors at Cornerstone Urgent Care have years of emergency room experience, and from that, we gained the ability to handle a wider range of urgent medical concerns than the average walk-in clinic in Rochester. We offer on-site diagnostic testing and a warm, family-friendly environment. Our urgent care providers can put you at ease during a potentially stressful situation.
Cornerstone Urgent Care is located at 2968 Chili Avenue and is open daily from 8 am to 8 pm, Mondays through Fridays, and 9 am to 7 pm, Saturdays and Sundays. If you have any questions, our friendly staff is happy to help. Call our office at (585) 207-0088.

In and beyond the classroom, Lakeland College's 2023 Lloydminster campus President's Medal recipient found ways to excel.
Raisa Tabusalla, a business administration general business major graduate, received her diploma during the Lloydminster campus Convocation Ceremony on May 26 but walked away with so much more.
At the beginning of her two years at Lakeland, Tabusalla competed for Lakeland at the Alberta Deans of Business Case Competition. She says this experience kickstarted a desire to be a part of more things at and for the college.
She represented Lakeland as a student ambassador; supported students as a director and vice chair of the Students' Association of Lakeland College; provided a student perspective on the business department's advisory committee; and participated in Synergy Speakers Corner, earning her green pin and facilitating the sessions during the fall semester in 2022.
“Another highlight was competing in the Finding the U in Business Pitch Series with my fiancé. Since we are both business students, we thought we could do this together. It was a shock when we won first place!”
Tabusalla added that being able to moderate at the Inspiring Women Conference by KT and Company opened doors for her to get to know the community. She adds she was thrilled about the opportunity to gear up as Rowdy, the Lakeland Rustlers' mascot, during events.
“I don't think there wasn't an opportunity open to me that I didn't go for. Lakeland gives so many opportunities for students to connect with the community,” she says.
Tabusalla's involvement in academics and leadership in student activities earned her Lakeland's most prestigious award, the President's Medal. It's awarded to a graduating student at each campus who has demonstrated academic excellence and leadership in student activities.
She credits her instructors and peers for guiding her to receive the award.
“I've had great mentors from my instructors and my peers. I feel like that's one of the reasons why I got this award. They all guided me throughout my student life. I'm very grateful that I'm the recipient of this. I think it just shows how much I wanted to serve the students who are to be part of this college and its culture.”
As a flight attendant for Philippine Airlines, Tabusalla was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. With air travel grounded, she found the opportunity to rethink the course of her life and decided to move to Canada for a fresh start with her fiancé.
“A friend of mine was a student at Lakeland and told us about the business programs. She knew that we were both business graduates back in the Philippines, and she told us it would be a good opportunity to study in Canada to open opportunities for us to reside there,” Tabusalla explains.
Ahead of graduation, Tabusalla officially started working for the college's international department as an administrative assistant on April 11.

Download Festival Australia now has 2019 dates and venues for Sydney and Melbourne
Metal heads, open your calendars. The second annual Download Festival Australia now has confirmed dates and venues.
Presented by Live Nation, UNIFIED and Secret Sounds, the hard rock and metal fest will take place for the first time at Sydney’s Parramatta Park on March 9, 2019, and returns to Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse two days later, on March 11, coinciding with the long weekend.
A line-up announcement is “imminent,” according to a statement issued today, which promises the bill will be a “corker.”
Back in March, nearly 30,000 showed out to the inaugural Download Festival Australia for a nostalgia-heavy bill which included Korn, Limp Bizkit, Prophets of Rage, NOFX, Mastodon, Good Charlotte and Suicidal Tendencies.
The Download brand is an extension of the long-running U.K. event at Donington Park, which has expanded into a multi-day goliath and rolled out into new territories, including France and Spain. Download founder Andy Copping was on hand for the debut in Australia, of which he later said, “Seeing all the bands just hanging out and supporting each other on stage encapsulates the true camaraderie and spirit of this kind of music, this scene and this festival.”
Download is now locked into a summer season which has a gaping void left by the disappearance of the Big Day Out, Soundwave and other touring giants. Organizers have ruled out expanding Download Australia into a multi-day camping festival, though a third city — perhaps Brisbane — could be part of its future. “The plan within the first three years is to at least get to three cities. I think the smart move would be one city at a time,” Download Festival Australia booker Nigel Melder told Billboard.

MCI inspection teams have carried out more than 6871 inspection tours on shops, fuel stations, gold and jewelry stores in Makkah and Medina, as well as in the roads leading to the Holy Places. These inspection tours revealed that 92% of the shops are committed to Consumer Protection Regulations.
MCI inspectors have issued 485 violation notices to the offending shops. This is part of the Ministry's seasonal work plans and programs during Umrah and visit to the Holy Places in Ramadan.
The inspection tours, participated by a number of MCI female inspectors, showed high quality, quantity and abundance of goods, including foodstuffs and various supplies in the markets and shops located in the central areas of the two Holy Mosques, as well as the shops in the roads leading to the two holy sites.
During the last ten days of the Holy Month of Ramadan, MCI is intensifying its inspection and control tours on the roads leading to the holy sites and in the two central areas at Makkah & Madinah. These inspection tours aim at monitoring the availability of goods, foodstuffs and various supplies, besides checking their validity, as well as monitoring and controlling cases of commercial fraud and price manipulation, also following up the commitment of placing the price tags on the goods, in addition to ensuring that the price placed on the item is matching the one with the cashier, more over verifying the validity and reality of discounts and promotions, which are usually increasing during the Holy Month of Ramadan. MCI inspectors would take the necessary action against any violation, they would control as well any effects on supply and demand, they would ensure the commitment of all shops to the Rules & Regulations, including the Anti-Commercial Fraud Law, Commercial Data System and Trademark System.
MCI calls on all consumers to cooperate and to lodge their complaints and reports through MCI Consumer Call Center "1900", or through the application of a Commercial Violation Report, or via the Ministry's official website.


title: Serbia enhancing power plant safety measures

text:
The reconstruction of the navigational lock system at the Iron Gate I Hydroelectric Power Station in Serbia, one of the largest hydroelectric power plants in Europe and the largest dam on the Danube River, was undertaken with a primary focus on ensuring transportation safety. Central to this upgrade was implementing a monitoring system to track the working doors' stress levels, particularly the voltage state. This system, integrated into a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, aimed to enhance safety measures by promptly detecting any deviations from permissible stress levels or water ingress into critical components.
The primary challenge revolved around establishing a robust monitoring system capable of accurately tracking stress levels of the lock system's working doors. This necessitated selecting suitable sensors capable of withstanding the harsh underwater environment while providing reliable data. Additionally, integrating these sensors into a unified monitoring system posed technical challenges that needed to be addressed to ensure seamless operation and data collection.
AP Company developed a unique monitoring system composed of three interconnected sensor networks connected to a SCADA system and visual display to provide instantaneous updates. To measure the relative elongation of the door material, vibrating wire sensors from Geokon (Model 4000) were chosen for their reliability and durability, particularly under water pressure.
This network of sensors connects multiplexers and Campbell Scientific CR6 Automated Monitoring Platforms to communicate via Ethernet networks with the SCADA system. The choice of CR6 devices facilitated efficient communications through Modbus TCP IP. With the integration of Campbell Scientific’s patented VSPECT® vibrating wire measurement technology, the CR6 devices help ensure timely monitoring and response to any deviations in stress levels or water intrusion.
For more information about VSPECT technology, visit our VSPECT Essentials page.
Implementing the monitoring system provided several benefits, primarily enhancing safety and operational efficiency. By continuously monitoring stress levels and water ingress, the system enabled proactive identification of potential issues, minimizing the risk of accidents and downtime. Furthermore, integrating the monitoring system into the SCADA infrastructure allowed for centralized control and real-time data analysis, facilitating informed decision-making. Additionally, selecting reliable sensors and communications equipment ensured long-term reliability, contributing to the overall longevity and effectiveness of the lock system reconstruction project.

title: Menopause

text:
Menopause is a non-pathologic condition involving the permanent cessation of menstruation for at least 12 months due to the loss of ovarian follicular activity.1
The transition from the reproductive period to the first year of postmenopause is called perimenopause. This transitional period occurs over several years and is associated with substantial biological changes.2
During this perimenopausal period, there are fluctuations in sex hormones which are more marked than the fluctuations which occur with a normal menstrual cycle and menopausal symptoms may appear during this time.2
In the postmenopausal period, there is a decrease in oestrogen production by the ovaries which leads to common menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes (or flushes), vaginal dryness, and disrupted sleep (with or without associated night sweats).1
These symptoms typically begin between the ages of 51 and 52. However, about 5 % of women experience early menopause between the ages of 40 and 45.3
THE MENOPAUSE TRANSITION - EXPLAINED
MENOPAUSE AND ITS SYMPTOMS
Sleep disruption Sleep difficulties, particularly night awakenings, are major complaints and are reported by 40 - 60% of menopausal women.2
Mood changes Depressive symptoms may be worsened by lack of sleep and environmental stressors which are often prevalent during midlife.
Several large studies have shown an increased risk of depressed mood during the menopause transition and an approximately 3-fold risk for the development of a major depressive episode during perimenopause compared with premenopause.5
Cognitive changes Perimenopausal women often report a decline in memory and concentration.2
Migraines The prevalence of migraines during menopause ranges from 10 % to 29 %. It seems that women who are susceptible, particularly those with premenstrual migraines during fertile years, have more migraine headaches as they transition through menopause.2
Weight, metabolic and cardiovascular changes One of the main complaints from women at midlife is increased weight which tends to accumulate around the waist. This is an indication that fat is also accumulating around internal organs (visceral adiposity) which reflects an increased atherosclerotic risk.
The prevalence of obesity is higher in postmenopausal than in premenopausal women.2
Cardiovascular changes Atherosclerosis and the risk of cardiovascular adverse events increase in women after menopause.2
Sexual dysfunction Longitudinal and cross-sectional studies have reported that the menopausal transition is associated with a decrease in sexual desire, independent of ageing.
Musculoskeletal symptoms A major concern in menopausal women is a progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength (sarcopaenia) and decline in bone health. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a degenerative bone disorder characterised by reduced bone marrow density (BMD).2
Skin, mucosal and hair changes Menopause reduces skin thickness, elasticity and hydration and leads to an increase in wrinkling.2

In 1993, Extension Educator Cherry Czuba and a social services coordinator in a Windham low-income housing project taught family life information and community development strategies to five natural leaders in the community. Each participant committed a year, attended ten 2-hour training sessions, went to monthly meetings, and addressed community issues through projects. In 1994, Cherry worked in Vernon to address growing crime. Then, a VISTA worker was obtained later that year to conduct the program in Brooklyn and Danielson.
Partnering with Extension educators Cathy Malley and Ede Valiquette brought the program to Danbury, Manchester, Hartford, East Hartford, and West Hartford. Additional VISTA members allowed expansion to Vernon, Enfield and Meriden.
From these initial programs, the UConn People Empowering People (PEP) program was founded in 1996, and steadily grew. Over two thousand people have graduated from the UConn PEP program in the past twenty years.
UConn PEP is a personal and family development program with a strong community focus. Building upon individual life experiences and strengths the program encourages growth in communication, goal setting, problem-solving skills, parent and family relationships and community involvement. Cherry retired in 2013, and Cathleen Love, Ph.D., UConn Extension Professor, now coordinates UConn PEP.
While participating in a UConn PEP program, the participants set goals, develop relationships and make connections. They also find their voice, share stories, and begin to believe they can make a difference.
An early participant from Enfield reflected on the program, “UConn PEP changed my life for the better. If it weren’t for UConn PEP, I wouldn’t have the job I have today. UConn PEP helped give me the drive to want something better and gave me the confidence to believe that I could do it. It also helped me be a better parent.”
UConn PEP expanded to other states, including Michigan, California and Missouri. Cherry worked with a professor from South Africa to establish the program at the University of Pretoria. The program continues to have a broad reach, with Vermont and Florida actively teaching PEP programs in 2016.
In the words of one of the recent UConn PEP graduates, “I learned from every UConn Extension PEP participant in my wonderful group. I re-learned things like trust in groups. I came to appreciate different lifestyles and different ways of thinking, living, caring, sharing and teaching. The UConn Extension PEP program helped me renew my faith in how wonderful people are. It has reopened my eyes to how important differences are in people, in every aspect, but yet in the end how we really are the same and that we, each one of us, can make a difference.”
During the UConn PEP program, one woman set a personal goal to go to college. She is now working on her bachelor’s degree. She believed she could do it, set her goal, and her passion and commitment gave her the courage to follow through on her dream to go to college.
The student says, “The opportunity to participate in UConn Extension PEP changed my life. I had begun to feel unworthy, unintelligent, unappreciated. This program built and renewed my confidence in myself. For that I am so appreciative.”
PEP participants realize their leadership potential and take action to invest in themselves, in their families and in their communities. The program continues to grow through support from our partner organizations, including school districts, nonprofit organizations and faith-based communities.
In partnership with the Center for Applied Research in Human Development (CARHD) a questionnaire was administered to all participants before programming began (i.e. pre-test) and after programming finished (i.e. post-test). The pre-test questionnaires contained close-ended questions to measure self-assertive efficacy, sense of mastery, parental satisfaction, family problem-solving communication, and community engagement. The post-test questionnaires included the same questions as the pre-tests, as well as open-ended questions that asked participants about their overall satisfaction and feedback about the program. Based on the data, CARHD assessed the effectiveness of the programs.
Key findings from the analyses of the close-ended were that UConn PEP participants
1) Showed significant positive changes on self-assertive efficacy and sense of mastery.
2) Showed significant positive changes on parental satisfaction and family problem-solving communication.
3) Showed significant positive changes on community engagement.
4) Overall were very satisfied with the program.
Responses to the open-ended questions indicated that participants found the program to be useful and helpful. They felt that the community project was beneficial to the surrounding communities and provided an opportunity to be involved in their community. Overall, the participants showed improvement in all three targeted areas (individual assets, parent/family relationships, and community engagement) following completion of the program.
The UConn PEP program has positively influenced communities across the state, as over 50 towns have had programs in the last twenty years. Looking to the future, UConn Extension has created an endowed account at the UConn Foundation, the Cherry Czuba UConn PEP Program Fund to provide permanent support for the program.
“I enjoyed every moment of our classes,” another participant shares. “I loved the stories we shared, the tears we shed, the laughter, the trust within the group and the comfort we felt in sharing and speaking with one another. Our ‘PEP’ talks empowered us to accomplish or obtain something. Every moment, every word, every tear, every laugh and every lesson will be a permanent tattoo, not only in my mind, but in my heart.”


title: Mo plants

text:
I’ll admit to being an addict. But my addiction — to propagating plants — is benign. It pains me to throw away an interesting seed or pruned-off stem; either can grow into a whole new plant, anything from a charming little flower to a towering tree.
Case in point are some cyclamen seeds I collected and sowed a couple of years ago. The mother plant is Cyclamen hederifolium, a species that differs from the large, potted cyclamens you now see offered in garden centers, hardware stores, even supermarkets. Cyclamen hederifolium is cold-hardy here, so comes back year after years planted outdoors in the ground, and it’s a dainty plant, with small flowers and commensurately small leaves. Otherwise it looks just about the same as the widely sold commercial species, the pink or white flowers hovering like butterflies on thin stalks above the whorls of variegated leaves.
Following those flowers are seed capsules, mostly hollow balls the size of small marbles each attached to the plant by a stem that is wound up like a spring. It was in the beginning of the growing season 2 years ago that I sowed the seeds in a seed tray filled with sterilized potting mix. (I don’t usually sterilize my potting mixes but I didn’t want weeds to interfere with the slow-germinating seeds.) Eventually the seeds sprouted and I kept them watered, as needed, for good, albeit slow, growth.
Hardy cyclamen’s flowers fade and leaves melt into the ground as plants ease into dormancy with the approach of winter. Not my seedlings, though. I learned, years ago, not to push them into dormancy; instead, keep them growing as long as they want to until they’re ready to start storing energy. Which I did, with plenty of light and, as before, water as needed.
This summer, the plants were still growing — and still small — and I noticed some swelling beneath each plant. The youngsters finally were growing tubers, small bulb-like structures that will, in the future, store energy to carry the plants, dormant and leafless, through winter.
This time next year I expect my plants will be officially adult, with flowers as testimony to their maturity.
Little House Not on the Prairie
In her youth, my daughter periodically entered the world of Laura Ingalls Wilder, so the one acre, adjoining field we acquired became “the prairie.” Moving the playhouse I built out to the field would have completed the picture of “little house on the prairie.” The playhouse never got out there but the “prairie” — or “hayfield” — as I usually refer to it, has remained as such.
My affection for prairies came from my living 12 years in Wisconsin (and studying the rich soils — the richest in the world — underlying prairies). My daughter has long outgrown her prairie phase but I’m going to make my “prairie” more prairie-like. One plant for that purpose would be big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii), the star of the Big Four of grasses native to the tall grass prairies, the other three bering indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans), switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), and little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium). Big bluestem is the tallest of the lot towering 6 to 10 feet high. It’s also good for hay and wildlife, and tolerates drought.
A few years ago I bought some big bluestem seeds and ended up with just a few plants. Those plants are now producing seed which — I can’t help myself — I’ve collected. Not that some of the seeds wouldn’t self-sow near the mother plans, but seedlings that do sprout under natural conditions are subject to competition for light, nutrients, and water from other plants.
Like many fall-ripening seeds, big bluestem seeds won’t sprout as soon as they hit the ground; otherwise winter cold would do them in. So they need “stratification:” a false (or real) winter. For many seeds, cool, moist conditions, such as a few weeks residence in a mix of moist peat and perlite in a plastic bag in the refrigerator will do the trick. Big bluestem can also be coaxed out of its winter slumber with cool, dry conditions. Perhaps I’ll try both ways.
My present tallgrass prairie is only about 4 square feet, from two seedlings I originally planted plus their slow underground spread with rhizomes. Over time, with my additional plantings and help — a once a year, late winter mowing (taken care of under natural conditions with fire) — my prairie will swell.
A prairie takes time, as does, though less is needed, raising cyclamen to flower from seed. That time element itself brings with it certain satisfactions, both with the process and the result. That’s fortunate, since patience is an important element in successful propagation of plants.

Born in Texas and raised in a military family, Kris Kristofferson, a Golden Gloves boxer, studied literature at Oxford, went on to serve in the army and turned down an assignment to teach at West Point because, inspired by songwriters like Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash, he moved to Nashville to pursue his music.
He achieved remarkable success as a country songwriter at the start of the 1970s and by 1987, it was estimated that more than 450 artists had recorded Kristofferson's compositions.
His renown as a songwriter triggered Kristofferson's successful career as a performer and that, in turn, brought him to the attention of Hollywood, leading to his flourishing career as a film actor. Kristofferson has acted in more than 70 films. In 1977 He won a Golden Globe for Best Actor in "A Star Is Born." He's appeared in cult favourites including the "Blade" trilogy, "Lone Star," "A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries," "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore," "Blume In Love," "Cisco Pike," and "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid." Recent films include "Fast Food Nation," "Dreamer: Inspired By A True Story," "The Jacket," "Silver City," "He's Just Not That In To You," and "Dolphin Tale."
Heralded as an artist's artist, Kris Kristofferson has recorded 30 albums, including three with pals Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings as part of the Highwaymen. He has spent three decades performing concerts all over the world, in most recent years in a solo acoustic setting, which puts the focus on the songs. Many would have hung their hat by now. Instead, Kristofferson barely has paused for breath. He's released several recent high watermarks including the increasingly intimate A Moment of Forever (1995), The Austin Sessions (1999) and This Old Road (2006), and he produced some of his finest work with the deeply personal Closer to the Bone (2009) and Feeling Mortal (2013). Kristofferson has reached living legend status, but that hasn't changed or hindered his creativity. His current CD, The Cedar Creek Sessions, was recorded live at Austin's Cedar Creek Recording Studio in June 2014. Released in time for Kristofferson's 80th birthday in 2016, the double-CD set is a snapshot of the legendary songwriter in the twilight of his life.
In addition to many other awards, Kristofferson is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, winner of the prestigious Johnny Mercer Award from the Songwriter Hall of Fame, and was honoured with the American Veteran's Association's "Veteran of the Year Award" in 2002. In 2007, Kristofferson was honoured with the Johnny Cash Visionary Award from Country Music Television and in 2009 BMI lauded Kristofferson with the Icon Award. He received the Frances Preston Music Industry Award from the T.J. Martell Foundation in March, 2012. In 2014, Kristofferson was honoured with a GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award and the PEN Song Lyrics of Literary Excellence Award.


title: Macroeconomic prospects of the philippines in 2025

text:
To kick off its 2025 events, the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) will host a public webinar on February 13, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM via Zoom. The event will feature two studies tackling the country’s macroeconomic landscape and the role of fiscal policy in driving sustainable growth.
The first study, “Let’s Get Fiscal: Extending the Small Macroeconometric Model of the Philippine Economy”, is authored by former PIDS Senior Research Fellow Margarita Debuque-Gonzales and former Supervising Research Specialist John Paul P. Corpus. This research paper presents a small macroeconometric model with a fiscal sector, extending the model in Debuque-Gonzales and Corpus (2023). The updated model includes equations for government revenues, expenditures, and debt, complementing core components on domestic demand, trade, employment, prices, and monetary sectors. It demonstrates strong predictive accuracy and simulates the fiscal impacts of shocks, such as changes in oil prices, exchange rates, and government spending.
The second study, “Macroeconomic Prospects of the Philippines in 2024–2025: Toward Upper Middle-Income Status”, authored by PIDS Senior Research Fellow Dr. John Paolo R. Rivera, Research Specialist Mark Gerald C. Ruiz, and Research Analyst Ramona Maria L. Miral, examines the drivers of the country’s robust domestic growth, including strong consumer demand, infrastructure investments, and a thriving service sector. It highlights the Philippines’ rapid recovery, with real per capita GDP returning to pre-pandemic levels within just four years—a remarkable achievement compared to past crises.

Peerless Music is extremely proud to be the authorised Aussie dealer for Deep Trip Pedals from Brazil!
IN SROCK NOW!!!
We are very proud to announce the PAGEBENDER!
This pedal was born from the idea of having a vintage-focused Tonebender mkII type of pedal, to pair with our heavier Hellbender. Our challenge was to tailor the circuit to cover not only early fuzzy tunes like “Dazed and Confused”, but also tube-like overdrive tones. That’s why this circuit incorporates several modifications and frequency adjustments to that original 60’s core circuit, intended to cover typical Zep tones and also a myriad of classic rock guitar sounds without any of the vintage pedal problems. The Pagebender takes a usual 9V DC power supply, doesn’t suffer with buffers or any other pedal and can be connected to any amplifier or similar device without any impedance issues.
The controls are designed to take you through many of Jimmy’s classic tones recorded on those timeless albums, but also much more. Explore them freely to adapt the Pagebender to your amplifier and speaker’s response, to your guitars and pickups, and to your ears and taste. That exclusively designed laser cut carbon-steel enclosure houses sophisticated fiberglass circuit boards with plated-through holes, filled with high performance, low tolerance components that form an exclusive circuit, capable of delivering much more than what you imagined a fuzz could do.
While our Hellbender covers very heavy and aggressive tones, with incredibly high gain, the Pagebender goes for lots of dynamics, “light and shade” sensitivity, with unbelievable frequency balance that puts your guitar exactly where it should be in the mix.


title: Logged in users linux

text:
If you are running a server or a system that is being used by multiple users, you may want to find the users who are logged in currently.
And the easiest way to do that is by executing the users
And as you can see, it gets the list of the currently logged-in users.
But there are other ways that give more detailed output than just listing the logged-in users.
Want to know what they are? Here you have it.
How to find logged-in users in Linux
There are multiple ways to find the logged-in users in Linux and I will be sharing the ones that provide more detailed output like IP address, time of logging in, etc.
So let's start with the first one.
Using the w command
This command gives you information like log-in time, IP, the terminal used to log in, and much more.
And execution is also quite simple. All you have to do is execute a single-character command:
indicates the username of the logged-in user.TTY
indicates which terminal was used to log in. Here,tty7
indicates that the user has used the native terminal to log in andpts
indicates the user has logged in via SSH.FROM
is where you'll find the IP of the remotely logged-in used.LOGIN@
indicates the time of logging in.IDLE
shows the time the user is in an idle state (doing nothing).JCPU
is a time used by all the processes attached to the current tty.PCPU
is a time taken by the current process and mentioned in theWHAT
indicates the current process.
Pretty detailed. Isn't it?
Using the who command
This is yet another way to list logged-in users and can be suitable for those who want to have less detailed output compared to what the w
The command execution is quite simple:
option prints the heading which makes it easier to understand the output. The heading elements are:
show the username of the logged-in userLINE
indicates which terminal was used to log inTIME
column shows the time of logging inCOMMENT
is where you'll find the IP of remote logins
I know the column names are pretty different and do not make much sense but that's what the who command offers!
New Book: Efficient Linux at the Command Line
Pretty amazing Linux book with lots of practical tips. It fills in the gap, even for experienced Linux users. Must have in your collection.
Using the finger utility
If you want the most detailed output, the finger utility will do the job as it is a user information utility so if you added extra details while adding users in Linux, they will be reflected here!
But it does not come pre-installed and you'd have so here's how you install it.
For Ubuntu/Debian base:
sudo apt install finger
For Arch Linux:
yay -S netkit-bsd-finger
sudo dnf install finger
Once you are done with the installation, all you have to do is execute the following command:
And as you can see, there are two extra rows for Office and Phone, so if you added extra details while creating a user, it should be reflected here!
Want to log out inactive users?
Once you know which users are inactive, you may want to log them out. So how do you do that? Here's a detailed guide:
I hope you will find this informative. And if you have any queries, feel free to ask in the comments.

title: First morcellator lawsuits filed by women with cancer

text:
May 7, 2014 — A federal lawsuit has been filed on behalf of a woman who died of cancer after she had a hysterectomy using the LiNA Xcise laparoscopic power morcellator. The complaint accuses LiNA Medical of failing to warn surgeons about the danger of spreading uterine cancer when a morcellator grinds up fibroids in laparoscopic surgery.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Donna Burkhart, a woman from Reading, Pennsylvania. The LiNA morcellator was used during her hysterectomy in March 2012. According to the complaint, she was never warned about the risk of seeding undiagnosed sarcoma throughout her abdomen. She died less than a year later of metastatic leiomyosarcoma, a rare but aggressive uterine cancer.
Ethicon Endo Surgery Inc., a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, has also been hit with a lawsuit involving morcellators. The lawsuit was filed by Brenda Leuzzi, a 43-year old mother who was promised a minimally-invasive procedure with a short recovery. A morcellator was used in her fibroid-removal surgery in September 2012. “It was the biggest mistake of my life,” she says.
Leuzzi now has stage-4 uterine cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy. According to her lawsuit:
“Early investigations into the actions of Ethicon Endo Surgery indicate that there was knowledge of this issue relating to dissemination of cancer and that potential safety solutions including the deployment of a ballistic reinforced bag to avoid spillage of unsuspected cancer cells were available to the company but were not provided as part of the product sold to hospitals.”
A growing number of hospitals are restricting the use of laparoscopic power morcellators, which the FDA advises against using for hysterectomies or fibroid-removal surgery. About 1 in 350 women who have a hysterectomy to remove fibroids actually has undiagnosed cancer.
Normally, uterine cancer can often be removed surgically. However, when a morcellator is used without a protective bag, it can leave behind tiny pieces of tissue, essentially “seeding” the cancer throughout a woman’s abdomen and pelvis. This significantly worsens her long-term prognosis and chances of survival.
