Please introduce yourself. What do you do? Why? What do you want people to know about you?
I am a multi-talented artist that is a rising talent and a woman of color. I love expressing myself and I am not shy to express my emotions and the most vulnerable parts of myself. I consider myself to be the black sheep of my family and very proud of it.
What qualities make you different and unique from everyone else in the industry?
What makes me different and unique is I am an Arab American comedian, singer, actress, writer and model. I speak Arabic, English and Spanish. I am also one of the admins of San Diego models, photographers and muah’s so I am a humanitarian and I am very involved in the community. I am different and I stand out due to my heritage, and my other talents!
Describe THAT moment when you realized you’re doing what you were born to do.
I knew I was different but didn’t know how to convey it. I knew deep down inside I am a comedian at heart. I have no filter. I make people laugh. I am not normal and unapologetically proud of that. I knew it from a very young age.
What’s been the biggest challenge you’ve had to go through and how did you grow through it?
The biggest challenge is that I have adhd and a learning disability. I’m challenged with it daily. A lot of people underestimate me and think I’m dumb but I surprise them and they start to regret it. Also, English is my second language and there are moments when my adhd gets the best of me and it’s difficult for me sometimes to communicate my thoughts.
Who are the TOP 3 people you’d want to meet that could elevate your career or business? Why these specific individuals?
I want to meet Whitney Cummings, Sandra bullock, and Celine Dion.

MoITT Relaunches National Job Portal to Simplify Access to Government Jobs
The National Job Portal (NJP), a flagship initiative of the Ministry of IT and Telecom, is officially live again and ready to connect job seekers across Pakistan with public sector opportunities. The government is actively working behind the scenes to enhance the platform’s functionality and is now inviting citizens to share their experiences and suggestions to further improve the user journey.
Launched with the aim of streamlining access to government employment, the NJP offers a centralized and transparent recruitment platform that brings together vacancies from various government departments and organizations.
Key Features of the National Job Portal
Find Jobs by Category: The platform is designed to tailor job listings to users’ skills and interests, allowing for a more personalized experience.
Merit-Based Hiring: By ensuring transparency and fairness, NJP aims to promote a culture of meritocracy in government recruitment.
Easy-to-Use Platform: Applicants can access and apply for jobs anytime, from anywhere in Pakistan or abroad.
Nationwide Opportunities: The portal provides listings for positions across the country, ensuring that citizens from all provinces can benefit equally.
With its relaunch, the NJP continues to serve as a critical tool for tackling unemployment and enhancing transparency in public sector recruitment. The Ministry of IT and Telecom emphasized its commitment to continuously upgrading the portal’s performance and usability. In a recent public message, the Ministry encouraged users to share feedback:
While we at the Ministry of IT and Telecom Pakistan are working internally on improving the portal, your experience and suggestions are most valuable. Please share what improvements you would like to see, and we will make our best effort to deliver them!
-Shaza Khawaja MoITT Minister
The Ministry is particularly keen on understanding the pain points faced by users, whether it’s ease of navigation, job filtering options, application tracking, or mobile accessibility. Public input will play a central role in shaping future updates to the platform.

Distance: How far something travels
Displacement: The change in position of an object is known as displacement.
An object's velocity is relative to another object.
Relative Velocity can be found by adding the vectors:
Samantha walks along a horizontal path in the direction shown. The curved part of the path is a semi-circle.
The magnitude of her displacement from point P to point Q is approximatelyA. 2 m.B. 4 m.C. 6 m.D. 8 m.
The Gradient Velocity-time: Acceleration
The area under Velocity-time: Displacement
The area under displacement-time: Velocity
The equations for uniformly accelerated motion are also known as the kinematic equations. They are listed here:
Displacement with acceleration: S= u·t + at22
Velocity equation: V= u+a·t
Timeless: V2= U2 + 2as
Displacement with velocity: s=(u+v)t 2
You do not need to know these as they are in your formula booklet.
During exams use suvat, and make sure to fill out with the known variables, and figure out which equation uses all the known variables.
A ball is thrown up with a speed of 20ms-1. How long does it take to fall back down to the same starting point?
Forces are vectors as they have a magnitude and a direction
Force caused when an object comes in contact with another object
Either a pull or a push
Force due to gravity.
mass *acceleration due to gravity
Force opposing motion and and
parallel to the contact surface
Reaction force to weight
Equal To weight on a flat surface and perpendicular to surface.
Pull force caused by a rope being tight
Always a pull
Force caused by an elastic object, such as spring
Friction in a medium
Increases with speed.
Force caused by differences in density.
To draw a free body diagram draw a dot, and then draw vector arrows coming out from the dot to represent the forces.
There are three things you must do:
An object will remain at rest if there is no net force acting on it
If ΣF = 0, then v = const
ΣF = 0 is the condition for translational equilibrium
Inertia - matters tendency to not change its state of motion (or a state of rest)
If the net forces are more than zero, the velocity will change.
The acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
Net force = mass times acceleration
ΣF = M*A
ΣF = △p/△t
For every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force.
FA = -FB
At an atomic level, an object's surface is never perfectly smooth and is always made of small “peaks”. When objects come in contact, in reality only these peaks are touching and where this occurs weak bonds form, connecting the objects. When an object is pushed the forces are broken between the atoms. Breaking these bonds requires energy and this is what friction is.
When an object is not moving it is in the static phase and the bonds must be broken, for the object to move. However, after the initial bonds are broken an object can move fast enough that the bonds don’t have time to reform. This is the dynamic phase and since not all bonds have to be broken the friction force is lower.
Friction force depends on two variables the normal force and the coefficient of friction.
The coefficient of friction is simply the ratio between the normal force and the friction force.
μ = friction coefficient (it has no units)
There are a friction coefficient μs when it is static and a different one μd When it is dynamic
Therefore, friction depends on how hard an object is pushing on a surface and how slippery the materials are.
Relation with applied force.
The object is in motion
Always equal to the applied force
Ff ≤ μs*R
Object is still
A constant force which does not change with applied force.
Ff = μd*R
If an object is on a slope the weight force acts partly parallel to the surface and partly perpendicular to the surface. Weight force can be split into these two components FII and F⊥
As the normal force is equal to the force being exerted perpendicular to the surface. R = F⊥ . Therefore the normal force is decreased on a slope. The acceleration due to gravity is the parallel component FII and this is why an object will slide due to gravity.
Therefore as friction depends on the normal force and this is lower on slopes, things will have a lower friction force when on an incline
Law of conservation of energy: Energy cannot be made or destroyed; it can only be turned from one form into another.
There are two types of energy: potential and kinetic.
Elastic potential equation = ½ * spring constant(k) * x2
Gravitational potential = Mass*Gravity*Height =m*g*h or Weight*Height = w*h
Kinetic energy equation = ½ *m*v2
In theory, things should transfer 100% of their energy from one form to another but in the real world, some energy is lost to things like heat, sound or light. The efficiency of an energy transformation is the percentage of energy in the output compared to the input.
In Physics, we define work(W) as:
The unit for work is newton meters (Nm) or Jules(j)
Note: Work is the same as energy.
Momentum = mass * Velocity
P = m*V
Firstly, mass is substituted for momentum over acceleration in Newton's second law.
Fnet=m·a m =∆p∆vFnet=∆p∆v·a
Then, velocity and acceleration are replaced with their distance & time equivalents. This shows why acceleration mostly cancels out velocity, leaving just time.
In a closed system, if the net force remains the same before and after so will the momentum.
This can be easily proved as if you set net force to zero in the momentum equation you know either delta momentum or delta-time must be zero for both sides to be equal. However, as the change in time cannot be zero, so the change in momentum must be zero.
0 = △p/△t
0 = 0/△t
Momentum before = Momentum after

We have just moved to from M1 to M2 (v.2.3.2).
Our product pages are loading so slow after we have moved to M2.
How can we make the product page load faster?
How can we get rid of the loading spinning .gif in the gallery?
Any suggestions how to make the product pages as fast as the category pages?
If you check details here:
your first-byte time is high - you want to keep it under 0.5 seconds. For this, the simplest thing you can try is to make sure you are on PHP 7.2 before you optimize anything else.
also, switching to HTTP/2 with ALPN support will decrease the total page loading time because you will have the simultaneous download of multiple files.
after that, you can address the issues reported by Google here:
both mobile and desktop scores are way too low right now but going with new PHP and using HTTP/2 will improve it and you will see what else to do.
When I tested that page speed 9 hours ago, the total loading time was 7.8s:
I just tested now and it's 4.8s which is not that bad for Magento
i guess you may have much less traffic because it's night in Denmark now.
This is not 100% proof of an overloaded system but something to consider.
Do you monitor the server load, CPU and memory usage during the day?
Maybe you just need to upgrade your current hosting configuration?
Are you on a single server or multi-server setup?
There are lot of reasons why M2 can be slow for you.
Some of them are below
1. Hosting - It is recommanded that you use proper hosting. I would advise you to use the good and Magento optimized server like Nexcess or Fastcomet Cloud Servers
2. Check You have enabled production mode.
3. https://github.com/xumulus/magento2-fast-product-images This can load the images bit faster by removing the loading icons.
4. Test your website in different tools like gtmetrix, pingdom and with developer debug tool.
5. Try disabling all the third party extensions and check the speed once.
I'm seeing that you page is fast now too. Please share solutions. Thanks
While looking for a solution to the annoying page spinner I came across this article:
....which also discusses the reasons behind the slow page load.
The Xumulus solution seems the way to go - but maybe there are other solutions out there?

title: Cosmetic surgery running trend young people today

text:
Many young people today are opting for cosmetic surgery and are contributing majorly to the growth of the plastic surgery profession all over the world. Young people are very impressionable and they will attempt anything that seems to be ‘cool’ at the time. Here are some of the reasons that seem to be driving this trend.
The effect of social media upon the young has been discussed time and again. The images that these young people see on the Internet are pushing them to take up cosmetic surgery at a high rate. Lip surgery is on the increase so they can take better selfies, with their lips in a sexy pouting pose. In some cases some of these procedures are exaggerated and the young person gets a disproportionate look. There are others who have their lip surgery done in such a way that they seem to have a perpetual pout. Ladies may also go for a tummy tuck so they look better in their bikini photos.
Celebrities are also driving young people to undergo cosmetic surgery. Most of the breast enhancement consultations are filled with comments like, “I want to have breasts like those of (a certain celebrity)”. As the young are immersed in movies and videos, they often identify with the characters in the movies and some have a deep desire to be like them. So young ladies who want to have an immense and sexy chest, like someone they saw in the movies or a music video, will have no compunction when it comes to having a cosmetic surgery procedure on their boobs.
You can remember the years that you went through in high school. Maybe you were a geeky girl who every young man avoided, and you blamed this on your looks. At the time, going for a cosmetic surgery procedure may have been out of your reach, but today, young people have access to more money and can pay for their own surgery. A young person who seems to be an outcast due to having small breasts will easily go for a breast enhancement procedure. They can even opt to go for a face lift, to enhance certain features of their face. A large nose can be reduced to fit better with the other facial features. The young lady, will go back to school and instantly become the object of attraction for many young men.
Lack of self-worth and self-confidence
Young people may suffer from a lack of self-confidence or self-worth, and in an effort to make themselves feel better, seek cosmetic surgery. When you are young, your appearance matters a lot and affects how you relate to people. A young person who is late in developing breasts may feel awkward among those who already have them. In order to feel better in the company of the others, she may opt to go for breast enhancement.
Although young girls tend to go for cosmetic surgery more than young men, there are teenage boys who also opt to go for these procedures. They may want to undergo a tummy tuck, to cut down on the baby fat that is still lingering on their bodies, rather than take up a sport. If you are a young person considering cosmetic surgery, you should seek the advice of a cosmetic surgeon before you make your final decision. The surgeon will discuss the reason why you are seeking the treatment and then advise you accordingly. A good surgeon will then do the procedure with minimal risk to your health. Visit your cosmetic surgeon and get all your queries resolved.

title: 10 factors banks consider before approving your business loan application

text:
When you apply for a small business loan, lenders usually don’t approve it right away. They tend to conduct an extensive analysis on various factors first. And only when they get satisfied does the loan get approved.
If you’re wondering what factors banks take into account before approving your loan application, then this article can help you out. Here are 10 of the most important factors that are considered by lending institutions.
This is by far the most important factor that’s taken into consideration. Your credit score is a crucial piece of information that can either make or break your business loan application. Having a high credit score of at least 650 and above can increase the chances of getting a business loan approved.
Your income levels and your employment history also play a huge role in determining whether your business loan should be approved or not. That said, the level of income that you would need to possess to apply for a loan can vary from one lender to another, so that’s something that you should keep in mind. Having a high income level and a long employment history with little to no breaks can lead to a favourable assessment.
Many lenders require you to submit a collateral in order to avail a business loan. If you’re unable to pledge any asset or if the collateral is not sufficient, the lender may choose to reject your application. However, this can be circumvented by applying for an unsecured business loan, which doesn’t require you to submit any collateral to avail it.
Just like collateral, there are a few lenders who require you to make a down payment in order to avail a business loan. The higher the down payment you’re able to make, the greater your chances are of getting your loan approved.
Your debt-to-income ratio is another major factor that’s taken into consideration. If lenders feel that your income is higher than your debt obligations, then your business loan would most likely be approved. On the other hand, if your debt is almost equal to or more than your income, your application can be rejected.
The loan tenure that you opt for can also determine whether your business loan is approved or not. Opting for a shorter tenure is always advisable since it drastically increases the chances of getting the loan approved. Since lenders can’t predict how your business would fare 5 or 10 years down the line, they might be a little hesitant to offer a loan for such high tenures.
You’re required to divulge your business plan as part of the business loan document list that you’re required to submit at the time of applying for a loan. Lenders generally approve your loan application only if they are satisfied with your business plan.
The amount of revenue and cash flow that your business witnesses in a year is also a key factor that determines whether you get a business loan or not. The more the revenue your business generates, the higher the chances are for your application to get approved.
If you or your business possesses any assets, whether fixed or liquid, chances are that your business loan would get approved by the lender. This is simply due to the fact that lenders can lay claim to your assets to recover the loan if it is not repaid on time.
To put it simply, the longer you’re in business, the better. Lenders typically view businesses that have been in existence for a few years as low risk and therefore are more inclined to offer business loans.
With this, you must now be aware of the 10 most important factors that lenders take into account before approving your business loan. So, before you go ahead and apply for a small business loan, make sure that all the above listed factors are in order. This can significantly increase the chances of it getting approved.

Chiswick Saturday Music Centre 2025
CSMC opened again for the Summer 2025 term on Saturday, 26th April. The term runs through until our Summer Concert on Saturday, 12th July 2025, with a one week half-term break on Saturday, 31st May.
Over the Easter break we said farewell to Annabella, who is moving to take up a new job overseas. So we're delighted to welcome Ethan Townsend onto the teaching team.
As you know, Katie Bunney has stood down as a teacher with CSMC to take up a full-time role elsewhere but is continuing to work with us to help raise our profile and much needed funds. Her teaching role at CSMC has been assumed by Anna Jackman Straw who is already successfully working with our woodwind students and woodwind group.
Our initial work on fundraising has given us some recent good news. We have had donations from the Mbili Trust and our local Waitrose. We’re still just starting on this whole area and have much to do – but it’s very encouraging to have this early success.
We have a limited number of vacancies for lessons in 2025 for violin, woodwind (saxophone, clarinet, flute or recorder) drums and piano. Please do spread the word amongst friends and your school communities! If you are interested in starting or continuing your musical journey then please email us at
Our new group aimed specifically at giving 6-9 year olds a general music foundation in a fun group setting is up and running, but places are still available for aspiring musicians of the future! The new Junior Music Group meets at 9:50 for 30 minutes every week of the CSMC term. It's free if you already have an individual lesson so please come along and try it out - we guarantee you'll love it!
We’re super keen to promote our groups this term. A key part of everyone’s musical learning should be playing music with others. It’s fabulous fun and a great way to grow as a musician. Please get in touch if you would like to join one – they’re free if you already have a lesson. Currently we run:
Rock Group: 9:40 for 40 minutes
Junior Music Group 9:50 for 30 minutes
Joe’s Rock Group: 10:20 for 40 minutes
Jazz Rock: 10:20 for 40 minutes
Guitar Group: 11:15 for 30 minutes
Violin Ensemble: 11:15 for 30 minutes
Woodwind Group: 11:15 for 40 minutes
It’d be great to start up other groups too – Singing Group perhaps?
A range of photos from the 2024 Christmas Concert can be found in our gallery or by clicking here.
Finally, we are always looking for volunteers to help with the running or CSMC. If you could spare a couple of hours on the occasional Saturday morning we would be very grateful. In particular, if anyone’s got an interest in getting involved in how charities work and has a bit of spare time, then please do let us know – it would be great to have your help.

Ask us a question of your own
My house flooded onto my wood floors what can I do to try and salvage them?
SteamMaster has had success using the Injectidry wood floor drying system. This system works by creating a vacuum to help extract the water through the wood floor and can often prevent the floor from heaving and even reverse cupping. This system will return the wood floor to a normal moisture content in about one weeks time.
Can our carpet and pad be salvaged after a flood?
My sofa was saturated with water from above. Is there any way to save it?
What can I do to minimize damage when a flood is occurring?
What about the 12” of standing water in our crawl space?
What are the symptoms and health effects associated with mold exposure?
Can I clean up the mold in our home myself?
What can I do to help prevent mold?
Mold RemediationFix any leaks that you find as soon as possible, watch for condensation and wet spots that have developed, and keep heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning drip pans clean and unobstructed. Make sure your attics and crawl spaces are dry and properly ventilated.
How long does mold remediation normally take?
What is the role of an Industrial Hygenist (IH), Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH), or a Forensic Engineer?
An IH, CIH or Forensic Engineer trained in indoor air quality sampling and investigating can inspect the home or business, establish a pre-remediation baseline, and draft a 3rd party independent remediation protocol that a remediation contractor can follow to properly remediate the affected areas. After remediation, the IAQ professional can inspect the job site, perform clearance sampling and verify the remediation contractor has properly remediated the work areas.

EVENT CANCELLED. Please contact your ticket point of purchase to claim a refund on your tickets.
Known as one of the most influential and timeless albums to come out of the 1990s, especially for female solo artists, Jagged Little Pill took to the radio stations across the globe and pushed Alanis Morissette into stardom. With so many amazing songs from the album such as; "You Oughta Know" "Hand in my Pocket" "Ironic" "Forgiven" and more, Alanis became a superstar but of the best kind in her alternative much loved style. With her unique vocals she proved her capabilities and has since become a favorite artist for so many. A hit Broadway musical has now been created to tell a story of her career in a unique, captivating way! Join in and catch Jagged Little Pill as it takes to the Broadhurst Theatre stage on Tuesday 3rd August 2021!
If you are visiting New York City, New York, the one place you can’t miss out on seeing is the iconic Broadhurst Theatre. Not only does the Broadhurst Theatre brings some of the most exciting musical theater shows to their stage, but they also offer fans and guests everything they need for a memorable experience. The latest on the list of awesome shows stepping on their stage is the amazing rock musical, Jagged Little Pill! Jagged Little Pill is so dense with plot that could have sustained solely on the original 12 songs from Morissette’s seminal, Diamond-certified 1995 album that gives the show its title. You’ll hear all of them framed within inspired contexts: “Ironic” is sung in a high school writing workshop, “Forgiven” is an act-one curtain closer set in a church that dramatizes an unsettling turning point in Mary Jane’s spiraling pill addiction. The show also features nine other favorites from Morissette’s later repertoire, including “Hands Clean,” “Thank U,” and “Uninvited.” Plus, two new songs have been written for the occasion, “Smiling” and “Predator.” So, if you are searching for an breathtaking way to spend your Tuesday evening, then you can’t make a mistake by visiting the Broadhurst Theatre for any of their upcoming shows!

Senate Passes Murkowski-Boxer Legislation to Extend Moratorium on Discharge Permits for Commercial Vessels
Two years ago, in the 110th Congress, bipartisan legislation introduced by Murkowski was enacted to place a two-year moratorium on the permit requirement while the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Coast Guard were directed to conduct a study to evaluate the impacts of discharges incidental to the normal operation of such vessels. The results of that study will determine whether the discharges should be regulated by EPA through National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits.
The two-year moratorium is set to expire on July 31, 2010; however, the study has proved to be difficult and time-consuming and the results have yet to be verified. It is also critical to note that it would be difficult, if not impossible, for the EPA to issue up to 140,000 permits by July 31.
“I am pleased that the Senate passed this important piece of legislation, and look forward to its passage in the House hopefully before the current moratorium expires at the end of the month,” Murkowski said. “In Alaska, the 9,700 vessels that make up the commercial and charter fishing fleets would be adversely affected if the moratorium expired. Given the near impossibility of the EPA to have a permit in place by July 31, these vessels would immediately be in violation of the Clean Water Act for an incidental discharge of any kind. It will take the EPA a significant amount of time to analyze the study and determine if these discharges need to be regulated. If so, they then would have to further develop a new permit for these vessels. Given the amount of time all of this would take, it is imperative that we extend the moratorium on a permit requirement as soon as possible.”

title: Dairy farmers launches new high protein smoothie range

text:
Dairy Farmers has launched a new high-protein smoothie range aimed at helping Australians increase their morning protein intake.
According to research commissioned by Dairy Farmers, 9 out of 10 Australians believe protein is essential for overall health, yet 40 per cent are still seeking easy and tasty ways to boost their intake in the morning. The study also found that 42 per cent feel they don’t consume enough protein early in the day, with time, effort, cost and limited options cited as the main barriers*.
The new Dairy Farmers Protein Smoothies + Prebiotics contain 30 grams of dairy protein, added prebiotics for gut health, and no added sugar.
Anne Scott, Senior Brand Manager for Dairy Farmers, said they’ve created Dairy Farmers Protein Smoothies + Prebiotics to offer Aussies a convenient and delicious way to include more protein in their mornings, especially for those looking for something quick, satisfying, and different from the usual savoury options like meat or eggs.
“Our new Protein Smoothies were designed for real life – whether you’re tackling the morning rush, after a workout, or when you need to pack some Oomph into your day.

title: Possible nuedexta drug interactions

text:
As a patient starting a new medication, it is always important to be aware of possible interactions and effects that may occur. This awareness is of particular importance when dealing with any drugs that can affect your mental health. This reason is why talking to your doctor before you start any medication, even over the counter while taking medication for depression or neurological issues is critical. You should also be careful drinking alcohol and cautious of any changes to your routine.
For Nuedexta, there are a large number of possible interactions from the drug, and many of them may make the symptoms that you are trying to treat much worse over time. These interactions are why people often feel that this treatment isn’t working for them, or why they have related feelings of being tired, sluggish, emotionally worn out, or having symptoms that are over the top.
Regarding foods, people taking Nuedexta should avoid eating grapefruit or drinking the juice when they are on the medication. The juice of this fruit was found to make the drug take longer to work entirely. In some people it even made it less effective over time, causing them to suffer more. No other types of citrus or food interactions were observed.
Alcohol was also found to have an adverse effect on people taking this drug. Patients who drank while on Nuedexta medication found themselves uncontrollably sleepy were unable to concentrate even on basic things and had increased levels of dizziness including when sitting down. Other people concluded that they were unable to think clearly at all, making them disoriented and feeling lost. Many others experienced impaired judgment that was detrimental to them, their health, or to others around them.
There have also been reported interactions with different levels of over the counter vitamins and herbs that were not approved for use with the medication. These are too numerous to list, but the symptoms included everything from breaking out in hives to an increase in multiple sclerosis progression. Most of these interactions were solved by talking with a doctor and altering or stopping the supplemental medication that was being taken at that time.
Other people found that Nuedexta increased the amount of time that different drug stayed in their body, making it more or less effective. This increase meant that they needed to adjust the dosage that they were taking to ensure that they were not damaging their organs, prolonging their effects, or mixing medications that should be kept separate. This interaction was positive in a few cases where it allowed patients to take less medication for better results.
Still, other interactions include medications causing the usage of Neudexta to be less effective or to take longer to achieve the desired effect. These are similar to the grapefruit juice effect mentioned earlier, and avoidance should be the effort at all costs.
No matter what you are thinking of taking while on the Nuedexta drug, you will need to talk with your doctor to ensure safety and that it will not be detrimental to your health. Be sure to bring any over the counter medication with you to your appointment.


title: Ground breaking retail and leisure property listings platform will give access to 90 of uk availability

text:
A new online listings platform created by The Local Data Company (LDC) and CompletelyRetail.co.uk will give access to more than 90% of all the retail and leisure properties which are currently on the market in the UK. For national and independent retailers and leisure operators, it will provide an unprecedented perspective on opportunities across the country.
LDC currently tracks more than 680,000 retail and leisure units across the UK, and from January 2021 has recorded all units which are vacant and being openly marketed. This will feed into the Completely Retail listings portal where the availability will be promoted to an online audience of more than 1.5m annual visitors.
Resultant enquiries will then be passed on directly to the relevant property contacts free-of-charge for an extended period. The aim is to showcase over 90% of all the UK’s openly marketed retail & leisure units by the end of 2021. The project is expected to increase the listings on CompletelyRetail.co.uk from the current level of over 9,000 to an estimated 45,000 individual available units.
Dom Millar, Chief Executive of The Completely Group said; “In these challenging times, retailers and leisure operators need to have a comprehensive overview of the market and be able to quickly identify where the most potential may be for their offers. The new platform will take away the laborious process of combing through available property from different sources, and instead will be able to identify opportunities with a few mouse clicks.
“This ground-breaking collaboration with LDC will provide everyone in the market – especially the growing band of start-ups and independents – with the kind of access to information that was previously only available to large-scale businesses.
“We’ll also be actively engaging with regional agents, landlords, Business Improvement Districts and other stakeholders in order to maximise the quality of information we provide.”
Barnes Oswald, Managing Director and Co-Founder of LDC commented, “Given the current level of our data collection, we are uniquely placed to partner with Completely Retail on this exciting new initiative. It will be the first comprehensive system that shows all marketed availability in the sector – a ‘One Truth’ system at a time when the UK retail & leisure industry really needs it.
Vacancy rates are the highest they have been since our records began and are likely to increase as the fallout of the pandemic continues. This platform will provide a critical means by which to connect prospective tenants with the influx of retail space coming on to the market. Market disruption that was already happening prior to the pandemic has been accelerated and from this we will see a ‘next generation’ of retail and leisure businesses, some of which will grow to be household names. This platform can be pivotal to that process as well as supporting local economies during this challenging time.”

A Silent Computational Error
In this lesson, we will discuss errors that cause no error messages.
Some programs will give you incorrect results, but will not warn you with an error message. In our first Debugging Interlude, we named this kind of error a silent error. It is an error in the logic of our program. Such errors can be extremely dangerous.
Programs that perform numerical computations are susceptible to silent errors. Here is an example.
A problem solved: Computing a cylinder’s volume
Imagine that your grandmother has asked you to help her make some candles. She has collected some cardboard mailing tubes to serve as molds. How much wax will she need? To find out, we can compute the volume of each cylindrical tube.
We begin by writing some pseudocode to describe what we need to do. It consists of three straightforward steps:
Prompt for and read the cylinder’s height and radius.
Compute the volume.
Display the height, radius, and volume.
Since cylinders are the focus of this problem, let’s define a class Cylinder
to represent the various cylindrical mailing tubes.
The class Cylinder
A cylinder has a radius and a height, so these components can be the data fields of our class. In addition to creating a constructor, we can define accessor methods for the radius and height, as well as one for the volume.
We need the formula for the volume of a cylinder. That volume is simply the area of the cylinder’s circular cross-section multiplied by the cylinder’s height. The cross-section area of a cylinder is the area of a circle ...

Soooo easy to use!!!
I found out about these via youtube for a diy project and i'm hooked. Soooo easy to do. Just cut fabric per template provided and wahlah! I will be returning today to get several additional packages.
The backs wouldn’t pop into the covers half of the time, and even when they did, the covers would often fall off.
Buttons don’t fit in the mold
Overall the buttons are fine quality but they do not fit in the mold very easily. It’s a struggle to get them in to cover them. Needs to be a bit bigger
1 1/8" Cover Button Kit
These only work if your using the thinnest of fabric. Then I wouldn't trust the durability. It did not work with the medium weight fabric I was using.
I purchased multiple kits and all failed. The process is quite tedious and kit does not work as described.
I love these covered buttons. I last used them with thick velvet on vests for Mr and Mrs. Claus. The velvet fits in tight and takes some extra tapping, I use a rubber tip hammer and they will never come apart no matter how thin or thick the fabric,
I've made 100's of covered buttons and these are the worst. The materials are inferior, the process does not work and the buttons come apart because the shank is not fastened to the front of the button. They either squashed or fell apart!!!
Press down and snap!
I love these! Yes, sometimes there is a slight challenge to snap the button in place, but they always work for me. Perfect!
Sewology Buttons -AWFUL AWFUL
First of all, this Kit doesn't give you a pattern to cut the circles. The plastic form that is provided is MUUCH too small. The button form fits tightly but there is no room for the fabric. These are the worst buttons I've ever used.

High quality viral RNA for veterinary assays is essential for rapid viral identification. The ability to perform high throughput viral RNA isolation from diverse samples also increases laboratory efficiency, reduces labor cost, and improves viral detection. This article describes how the Ambion® MagMAX™ magnetic bead-based technology has been successfully adapted for automated sample processing on the Caliper Life Sciences Sciclone® ALH 3000 Workstation for nucleic acid isolation from diverse samples.
High throughput viral RNA isolation from diverse samples enables rapid viral detection in animal samples. The Ambion MagMAX-96 Viral RNA Isolation Kit is designed for viral RNA/DNA purification from a variety of sample types, such as animal tissues, blood, serum, plasma, milk, swabs (e.g., oral, cloacal), and feces (see sidebar, Challenges of RNA Isolation From Cell-free Systems). Small elution volumes (20–50 µL) provide concentrated, purified nucleic acids for convenient streamlining of downstream applications.
Applied Biosystems scientists with the Custom Services group (see article, Accelerate Your Research with Custom Solutions) have validated the MagMAX-96 Viral RNA Isolation Kit for use on an automated sample handling platform, the Sciclone ALH 3000 Workstation (Caliper Life Sciences). RNA was isolated from Armored RNA® particles (Asuragen, Inc.)—synthetic viral particles containing an RNA oligonucleotide—spiked into diverse biological sample matrices, including human plasma, bovine serum, raw bovine milk, and brain heart infusion (BHI) medium, which is commonly used for swab sample storage.
Recovery of RNA from Armored RNA® particles was highly consistent across the various matrix types, and no cross-contamination was observed (Figures 1–2). The data clearly indicate that the combined use of the MagMAX-96 Viral RNA Isolation Kit on the Caliper Life Sciences Sciclone ALH 3000 Workstation provides a quick and robust workflow for efficient, high throughput viral RNA/DNA isolation.

title: Conjoined twins successfully separated in 24 hour landmark surgery

text:
In what is being called a “landmark surgery,” two conjoined twin girls have been successfully separated in California. The 9-month-old sisters Abigail and Micaela were born connected at the head, a rare condition known as craniopagus twins.
Their mother, Liliya Bachinskiy, discovered that the twins were conjoined when she was 11 weeks pregnant. Her doctor referred her to the UC Davis Fetal Care and Treatment Center, where the expectant mother began to receive extensive prenatal care.
“It was very tough. I just was shocked. I couldn’t process,” Miroshnik recalled. “When I got home, my husband said that everything will be good. We will get through it. This is our kids. We already love them.”
Following their birth on December 30th, the twins were admitted to the hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), where they spent seven weeks. Then at 9-months-old, doctors felt that the separation was necessary.
“As they get older, there are more risks of shared blood vessels and organs becoming larger or more entwined. The upcoming flu, COVID-19, and RSV season was also a concern,” Dr. Granger Wong, the lead plastic surgeon, explained.
The 24-hour separation surgery took place at UC Davis Children’s Hospital in Sacramento, which went through last Saturday and into Sunday. The surgery separated the twins’ connected veins and brain matter, removed their tissue expanders, and reconstructed their skulls/scalps. Their positions on the operating table had to be changed five times, and blood transfusions were also conducted.
“This is a landmark surgery for us at UC Davis Children’s Hospital,” Dr. Michael Edwards, lead pediatric neurosurgeon, said in a statement. “Abigail and Micaela are doing well and recovering in our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, thanks to an amazing team effort dedicated to ensuring these very rare twins have the best shot at a healthy life ahead.”
Children’s Surgery Center nursing lead Aida Benitez expressed the team’s satisfaction with the surgery’s success in the press release.
“After 10 months of preparation, we were witnessing what we had all envisioned for the girls, and we were overcome with emotion and joy. I will never see 3:28 on a clock again and not think of the moment that Abi and Mica became two separate babies.”
The twins’ mother also confirmed the success of the surgery.
“Everything went well. It felt almost impossible to separate them, but God and the doctors and nurses at UC Davis made it possible. We are so thankful.”
Craniopagus twins is an extremely rare disorder that occurs in only about one of every 2.5 million births.


title: Things to know about your fers annuity

text:
[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″ el_class=”section section1″][vc_column_text]When it comes to the Federal Employees Retirement Plan, the FERS annuity is the solid foundation. There are four key points that people fail to understand, even as a good number of federal employees know how to calculate their FERS annuity.
Understand How FERS is Calculated at Different Ages
The first thing to know is the difference in the calculation at age 62. The FERS retirement formula is your high 3 x number of years of service x 1%. The formula, however, changes if you work until age 62 and retire with 20 or more years of service. You will receive 1.1% per year worked instead of getting 1% per year worked. An extra 0.1% on 20 years of service will add an additional 2% to your high 3.

- Also Read: Leaving Your TSP Alone Can Be Risky—Especially If You’re Already Retired
Know How Your Survivor Annuity Works
If you are married at retirement, you will have the option of electing a 5% reduction for a spousal benefit of 25% or a 10% reduction for a spousal benefit of 50%. If the federal spouse dies first, the nonfederal spouse can continue Federal Employee Health Benefits (FEHB), which is another reason to select a SA. However, the surviving nonfederal spouse cannot continue FEHB without a SA. If you are considering using life insurance to replace the SA, this is something to be aware of.
Your COLAs Won’t Keep Up With Inflation
FERS retirees do receive an annual COLA, even as most retirees that receive a pension don’t receive any type of annual increase on their pension. The downside to that COLA is that it won’t keep up with inflation. This means that your expenses are increasing at a far more higher rate than your income.
A lot of retirees only look at their TSP balance when they determine their allocation and want to invest conservatively in their TSP when they retire. If the 4% rule of investment withdrawals is applied and the value of FERS annuity is added, then there will be a significant change. This is because the value of the above FERS annuity is $600,000, and this would all be considered fixed dollars. Investing is a lot more than just numbers and math if we look at it from a strictly logical perspective.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”36966″ img_size=”292×285″ style=”vc_box_shadow”][/vc_column][/vc_row]


title: Help your students to revive the art of note making 2

text:
Even in this digital age, A-Level and BTEC students sit paper-based exams where they are expected to display detailed writing skills based on their knowledge of the subject.
With learners being increasingly dependent on interactive, screen-based knowledge gathering, there is the risk that they are losing the skill of writing their thoughts fluently and the art of expressing and evaluating a subject effectively.
In 1895, German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus conducted some of the first experiments on memory, recall and spaced learning that still hold up today. He developed the forgetting curve, which shows how information is lost quickly over time if there is no strategy or effort to retain it.
Much more recently, research by Princeton University and the University of California found that if you need to remember something, you should write it down. They state that “writing notes by hand is much better for long-term memory of ideas, or conceptual information”.
The need for learners to be attentive and inquisitive in class, and to make good notes, is imperative, especially now that vocational qualifications are no longer just hands-on training courses but a balance of academic study, practical skills and the personal development required by students to enter into the changing world of work.
Rather than simply writing notes, learners need to re-read them, review, reflect and connect the dots within the topic. Better organisation of notes will lead to better knowledge retention.
Preeti Vohra, an IT Lecturer at Activate Learning’s Reading campus, explains:
“I realised that when students first join our Technology faculty, they are often not used to descriptive writing, and note making does not come naturally to them. I identified that note making was an area that required additional focus and effort.”
“I found that out of 25 students, only four learners actually wrote meaningful notes. The rest had focused on less relevant information with the very minimum text being written.
“A good way to improving note making is to share. I asked the cohort to exchange and compare notes with each other, add information which would make it more meaningful and include any missing information to their original notes.
“This also helped students to include more appropriate headings and questions within their notes.”
Following Preeti’s intervention, eight learners received distinctions and merits in the 2018 summer Unit 1 Principles of Computer Science exam.
Preeti’s top tips for note making are:
- Analyse notes thoroughly
- Review the notes on the day itself and keep reviewing them
- Highlight the key terms and make a side section of key terms
- Include important examples
- Questions and any doubts should be written while making notes and followed up later

On March 17, 2021, the HACC found former judge Vadym Halichyi from Dnipro guilty of abuse of influence. He promised a resident to influence the investigators of the Dnipro police for a bribe. Halichyi was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison.
Vadym Halichyi was working as a judge since 2009, he was appointed to this position by Viktor Yushchenko. In 2017, after the crime, the HCJ dismissed him from his post, and in 2020, it did it again because the Supreme Court overturned the previous decision.
The crime took place in October 2016. According to the investigation, then judge Halichyi took a bribe of USD 10,000 from the Dnipro resident. For this money, he had to influence the investigators of one of the Dnipro police departments to close criminal proceedings against him under the appeals of the former wife of the resident.
Halichyi was detained on the day of transferring the bribe near a café in Dnipro, where it happened; he was the first judge to be detained after the restriction of judicial immunity. The following day, he was searched: more than USD 54,000, about EUR 13,000, and almost UAH 138,000 in cash were found in Halichyi's house.
At the hearing, the ex-judge did not admit his guilt and said the opposite. Allegedly, he helped this man find a lawyer for USD 10,000, which would help resolve the issues under the civil cases. However, the local himself did not confirm this version.
The actions of the ex-judge were qualified under Article 369-2, part 2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Halichyi was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison, with a ban on holding certain positions for 3 years.
The HACC Appeals Chamber subsequently reduced the ex-judge's main sentence to 2.5 years of imprisonment because he had two minor children and because of some other mitigating circumstances that were not considered when sentencing him.
Halichyi was in prison for almost a year and a half, but one of the Dnipro district courts released him early in the summer of 2022. This is one of the cases when local courts release HACC convicts based on evaluative concepts, such as “embarked on the path of correction” or “proved their correction.”
When the case of the ex-judge continued to be heard by the Supreme Court, Halichyi managed to mobilize into the ranks of the Armed Forces; this did not prevent him from participating in the hearings. Thus, the Supreme Court overturned the decision of the appellate instance and ordered a new appeal hearing of this case; the cassation appeal referred to “significant violations of the criminal procedural law.”
During the new hearing, the HACC appeal suspended the hearing of the case precisely because Halichyi serves in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The consideration will be resumed as soon as he is discharged from military service.

How to Program a Keyless Entry for a 2003 Chevy Suburban
by Leonardo R. GrabkowskiAccording to Edmunds.com, keyless-entry is standard on the 2003 Chevrolet Suburban, including on the base-LS model. This means you shouldn't have any trouble programming a new keyless-entry remote to your Suburban. The module is already installed, the remote just needs to be synchronized with the system. The process of programming a remote for the 2003 Suburban is the same as it is in all 2000 to 2006 models.
Gather your car key and the keyless-entry remote you want to program to the Suburban. Only a factory-replacement remote will synchronize with the system.
Verify that all of the doors are closed, including the rear-hatch door. Open the driver's door, take a seat and close the door.
Place the key in the ignition, but do not turn it. Press and hold the "Unlock" switch on your door's master-control panel.
Turn the ignition in the following sequence: on, off, on, off. When turning the key to "On," do not start the engine. Perform this rapidly for success.
Release the "Unlock" switch. You'll hear the doors lock. If you don't, start the procedure over.
Simultaneously press "Lock" and "Unlock" on the keyless-entry remote. Hold these buttons down for about 30 seconds. You'll hear the door locks cycle again. This lets you know the remote is programmed. Turn the ignition to "On," then "Off" to finish.
- If your keyless-entry remote will not synchronize to the 2003 Suburban, try replacing the battery. According to the 2003 Suburban's owner's manual, the battery is easily replaced by inserting a coin into the edges of the remote and twisting it to open the device. Once it's open, pull the bad battery out with your fingers and insert the new one. The Suburban's remote uses battery CR2032.

title: Pregnant woman relentlessly harassed by a k9 dog

text:
The Houston International Airport was as crowded as ever with people rushing to catch their flights. And then, in the middle of the crowd, Shadow, an experienced German Shepherd K9 trained to detect hazards, started barking at a woman waiting in the long queue. She was 7 months pregnant and frightened by the dog’s reaction.
Officers asked her to step forward. They conducted a thorough search of her belongings, but nothing was out of the ordinary. Yet, Shadow wouldn’t stop sniffing her and barking at her.
The officers were confused and contemplated their next move. Should they let the woman go?
She was heavily pregnant and the entire situation made her upset and uncomfortable.
And then, just as they decided to let her go, Agent Grant remembered that Shadow was trained as medical alert service dog. Was there something wrong with this woman?
Just to be sure, he explained to her that he wanted to call the emergency services to check on her. Although she hesitated at first, the woman eventually agreed.
To everyone’s surprise, the medics discovered uterine rupture, which is a serious and rare childbirth complication where the muscle wall of the uterus tears.
The woman was quickly rushed to the nearby hospital where she gave birth prematurely.
Her baby was still tiny and placed in an incubator, but luckily, both he and his mother were fine.
That day, Shadow saved two lives. His strong senses allowed him to detect that something wasn’t right with that woman’s child.
Dogs have up to 300 million scent receptors and are able to detect chemicals or changes in body odor caused by diseases or other medical emergencies.
A few days after the incident, Shadow and Agent Grant paid the woman a visit at the hospital where she and the staff gave an appreciative “thank you” to Shadow in a brightly lit hospital ward.

title: Nestle takes a hit as bursa malaysia klci closes green

text:
Nestle (Malaysia) Berhad (KLSE: NESTLE) has disappointed this year, with a loss of 11.89% in 2024 leaving holders scratching their heads. This notable dip in Nestle's stock is a reflection of market volatility and the impacts of various external factors on the food and beverage industry. Nestle, a major player in the market in Malaysia, often serves as a bellwether for the industry's performance, making such declines a point of interest for investors.
Marking today's session as the biggest faller in the FBM KLCI, Nestle is looking for a shift in sentiment after 1.24% decline. Other notable fallers included United Plantations, Fraser & Neave, SHH Resources Holdings, and Heitech Padu. The losses among these stocks were a stark contrast against the overall market trend and could be due to company-specific news or sectoral challenges.
Contrasting the fate of Nestle, Autoris Group Holdings—a newcomer to the Leap Market—emerged as the day's top gainer. The stock impressively climbed by 40 sen, ending the trading day at 50 sen. This surge reflects investor confidence in Autoris Group, which may be attributed to its recent launch and the market's optimistic outlook on its business prospects.
The leading gainer on the index with 2.46% in gains was YTL Corporation Berhad, with Celcomdigi Berhad another notable gainer, adding 1.7% on the day.

These companies represent a diverse array of sectors, from food production to energy and real estate, showcasing the broad-based nature of the market's gains.
As the Malaysian markets continue to shake up between established names, and newcomers, it is yet to be seen if Nestle can move out of this downward trend. As one of the core components on the Bursa Malaysia, the firm's success plays a role in the overall health of the market, and holders will be looking for some positive news to shift sentiment.

title: Davidos timeless listed among billboards 2023 top 50 best albums

text:
Davido’s Grammy-nominated Timeless album has been rated 39th on Billboard’s Top 50 Best Albums of 2023, and he is the only Afrobeats artiste whose album made the list.
If this recognition will have any influence on the 66th Grammys scheduled for February next year, then the King of Afrobeats will have a lot more to celebrate if the votes add up well for him at the ceremony.
The multi-talented artiste released Timeless, in March 2023 as his fourth studio project, featuring top performers including Asake, The Cavemen Band, Angélique Kidjo, Fave, Musa Keys, and many others.
The Fem crooner displayed his versatility on the record, which combines Amapiano, Afrobeats, Highlife, Afropop and other genres. With 17 tracks, the project has songs like, Over Dem, For The Road and Na Money, Unavailable, and No Competition, among others.
The album blends traditional Nigerian rhythms with trending musical elements of pop and emphasizes Davido’s proficiency in working with artistes from different backgrounds.
Billboard, announcing the best albums of the year, described Timeless as “one of the best bodies of work” in Davido’s career. “Timeless is a triumph and a landmark album in the global explosion of Afrobeats,” the statement said.
Before this latest ranking by Billboard, the album had earned lots of positive feedback across streaming platforms, recently recording over 400 million streams on Spotify alone for several other records, including those on the Timeless album.
Staunch followers of the superstar, in celebrating the latest accomplishment, say, “The Grammy seems inevitable now… Timeless will surely win the Grammys.”
The single Feel has also gained impressive playback since it premiered, and the singer-songwriter has also gone ahead to introduce some live versions of the song, portraying his artistic finesse.


title: Icpc ex naval chief still on wanted list not exonerated

text:
The Ex-Naval Chief, Vice Admiral Jibrin Usman (Rtd.), and Brigadier-General Ishaya Bauka are still on ICPC’s wanted list for their alleged involvement in a N3bn fraud. Therefore, any claim that the amended charges by ICPC have exonerated the duo of charges concerning embezzlement and abuse of office is fallacious and a figment of the imagination of the writers, it should be disregarded.
It should be clearly stated that there is a subsisting arrest warrant against the two ex-military officers, whoever sees them could assist in bringing them to justice.
For the avoidance of doubt, the charges against them were only amended not withdrawn. ICPC does not clear anybody of a case already in court. It is a normal practice for prosecuting agencies to amend charges and proceed against the available defendants in a case pending when those at large or on court bench warrants would be arrested. When those at large or court bench warrants are arrested, they would be added to manifest the initial charge.
It should also be recalled that the ex-Naval chief in particular was charged along with five others in the original charge dated and filed on the 17th day of April, 2023. The charges were served on the Defendants by substituted means through their lawyers, yet they failed to submit themselves to the jurisdiction of the Court for arraignment. Prompted by the Defendants’ refusal to come to court for their arraignment, the Commission sought and obtained a bench warrant from the trial court for their arrest.
On the 4th day of February 2025, Mr. Adam Imam Yusuf, the 2nd Defendant in the original charge was arrested in his home in Gwagwalada Area Council of the FCT, Abuja, leaving the two ex-military generals yet to be arrested. Efforts are still underway by the Commission to pick them.
The public is hereby assured that if they are arrested today, the ongoing charges will be amended to accommodate the allegations initially filed against them.
