title: Fbi raids home of democrat congressman

text:
ICYMI|I make certain it’s just a coincidence that plenty of folks who criticize this management discover themselves along with unethical Christopher Wray’s FBI. In one more instance of excessive, the FBI sent 2 loads brokers to the residence of Democrat Rep. Holly Cuellar in Laredo, Texas. Extra agents plundered his initiative workplace. Nonconformity is actually not allowed in any sort of tyranny, specifically in one owned as well as managed by George Soros.
The Gestapo FBI declines to state what they were actually looking for but it was actually perhaps whatever they could possibly discover. The very same Gestapo FBI that possesses no time to lose on scams in between Seeker, the Major Guy, as well as China have lots of time to go after opponents of the management. Cuellar has remained in your home for taking place 18 years is a Democrat, so it is feasible he is mixed in something unlawful, however the timing of this particular stinks to higher heavens.
Doesn’t just seem to be questionable that when Cuellar slammed Biden and Harris for their awkwardness on the border situation, he quickly attracts the interest of the FBI?
Cuellar has actually pointed out:
“I have actually carried on from the vice head of state to mention, ‘OK, allow’s deal with the emissaries as well as allow’s deal with the Condition Division. Permit’s collaborate with the Birthplace Secretary.’
“I think that’s the means to resolve it, however I understand that the media has put a bunch of concentrate on the bad habit head of state, but with all due appreciation, she was actually given that title. I don’t presume she’s, with all due appreciation, placed the attempt in there … Our experts have actually reached look at various other individuals that have the competence on that.”
The Screen disclosed:
The FBI administered what it referred to as “court-authorized” police task at the Laredo residence of united state Rep. Holly Cuellar on Wednesday.
Brokers were likewise present at his midtown initiative office in Laredo.
Although FBI representative Roseanne Hughes carried out not determine what the agency is checking out, she carried out issue a claim recognizing the task.
“The FBI appeared in the vicinity of Windridge Drive and also Real Estate Travel in Laredo performing court-authorized police task,” the statement reviewed. “The FBI can not deliver additional talk about an ongoing investigation.”

What is a high-end vape?
A 'High End Vape' is one that comes with advanced computing technology custom-built into the device.

These chips allow for upgradeable software which allows for the kit to improve performance and battery efficiency even after you have bought it.

title: Life saving heart test reveals hidden blockages and a chance for survival

text:
Nick Anthony is thankful to be alive. The 45-year-old resident of St. Petersburg has a family history of heart disease. Over the past 18 months, he lost 130 pounds while focusing on a healthy lifestyle. He started to see a primary doctor, who suggested he have a Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Score test because of his family history of heart disease.
“I took the calcium test and I received a phone call from my doctor the next morning,” explained Nick. “He said the score was concerning, and that I needed to see a cardiologist. A ‘bad score’ is 400, and my score was 2,100.”
Nick was able to get an appointment within a few days to see David C Buck, DO, FACC, a cardiologist with Bradenton Cardiology Center. He ordered a CT scan of the heart, which revealed blockages in the left anterior descending artery. “The only symptom that I was experiencing at the time was a slight tightness in my chest, but I never thought that this was anything serious,” Nick said. “I thought I was just sore from working out.”
He went to the emergency department at Manatee Memorial Hospital and underwent a cardiac catheterization. Initially, Nick was told that he needed to have one stent put in, but he ended up having four. “It turned out I had an 80% blockage in the LAD artery, which is [called] the widow maker, and a 95% blockage in another artery.”
They inserted the stents through his femoral artery, and he was awake during the procedure, but did not feel a thing. He even joked with the staff that it was easier than having a root canal.
“I went back to my hospital room and recovered for a few hours. I also had an echocardiogram and EKG to confirm that everything looked good,” Nick added. “I went home in a few hours.”
Nick rested for two weeks, with no lifting or strenuous workouts. He was able to do a few short walks each day until he could resume normal activities. After a follow-up with Dr. Buck, he was able to return to work and began working out again.
“Since then, I have ridden my bike 30 miles with no problem. I even lost 15 more pounds during this time,” said Nick. “The scariest part is before all of this happened, I felt great, and I didn’t realize that there was anything wrong. Now that they have cleared the blockages, I feel even better.”
In retrospect, Nick can’t help but think that if he didn’t originally change his lifestyle, start losing weight and looking out for his health, he may have had a cardiac event. “A month before this, I was traveling in Portugal and Africa. I was hiking mountains and was on an airplane for a lengthy period of time,” he said. “What if something happened then?”
Nick added, “I have never really been to the hospital before, but I have no complaints. Everyone at Manatee Memorial made me feel safe and I was never scared while I was there. All the staff members were in a good, positive mood and I had the feeling that I could sit back and relax, and that they were going to take care of me.”
Although he lives in St. Petersburg, Nick said he would want to go to Manatee Memorial Hospital again if anything were to happen. “I had top-notch care, and I am so surprised at the procedures they can do,” he said.
Because of his experience, Nick has encouraged his friends to get tested, and many say they are going to. “It’s better to find out in the doctor’s office than to wait and have something bad happen,” he said. “Get tested!”
To celebrate his new-found heart health, Nick will be participating in the American Heart Association’s Suncoast Heart Walk with a team from Manatee Memorial Hospital on November 18 at Rossi Park along the Bradenton Riverwalk.
To make an appointment with Bradenton Cardiology Center, please call 941-748-2277.

title: Emissions cheating case against car industry reveals legal bill to defend action

text:
Lawyers defending unprecedented legal action against the car industry over emissions cheating have revealed in court the estimated costs of defending the claims are an eye-watering £320 million in legal fees.
Claims on behalf of 1.5 million claimants are continuing against 13 car manufacturers including Mercedes, Renault, and Ford.
The defendants for Nissan, BMW, Suzuki, Peugeot Citroën, Fiat Chrysler and Vauxhall have all admitted that their lawyers’ hourly rates included in their budgets are in fact lower than the actual rates they charge.
Lawyers acting for claimants in England and Wales have also estimated that going forward, the common legal costs associated with bringing the action on behalf of 1.5 million motorists could reach £219 million. This is an estimated cost of £146 per claimant.
They say this is what it costs to hold accountable an entire industry over a scandal which has contributed heavily to a public health crisis across the UK.
Emissions cheating scandal
The Dieselgate scandal broke in 2015 in the US, when VW was found to be cheating emissions tests.
In June 2022, Pogust Goodhead successfully represented claimants in the Volkswagen NOx Emissions Group Litigation. We reached a first-of-its-kind, out-of-court UK settlement of £193M.
However, the fight for justice and cleaner air is far from over.
The Pan NOx cases, as they are known, continued this week, with a three-day High Court hearing on costs, after the court handed down a judgment rejecting claims from French car companies Peugeot Citroën and Renault that they could not cooperate with the legal case against them because of a French law.
Pogust Goodhead comment
“The hearing has laid out the fact that this class action is likely to be the most expensive class action in the UK courts to date. The car manufacturers are spending millions of pounds defending the indefensible.
“Their investors ought to be troubled by the huge sums involved in taking these matters to trial which is only compounding the risk and delaying the inevitable. Unfortunately, this is what it costs to take an entire industry to court and hold them accountable.
“We urge the companies to do the right thing and reach swift settlements so that justice can be served without the need for the court and all parties using up huge resources in bringing the cases to conclusion.”
Pogust Goodhead is the lead or co-lead law firm in the largest number of emissions cases.

APM 2.8 Flight Controller w / Shock Absorber M8N GPS 5 V 3A Power Module T Plug
– This is a new APM 2.8 autopilot unit. The sensors are exactly the same with APM2.6, but this version does not have an onboard compass, which makes this version ideal for use with multicopters and rovers.
-APM 2.8 is a complete open source and bestselling autopilot system that won the prestigious 2012 Outback Challenge UAV competition. It allows the user to convert any fixed, rotary wing or multirotor vehicle (even cars and boats) into fully independent vehicles; capable of performing programmed GPS missions with waypoints. Available with top or side connectors.
– This board review has no on-board compass, which is its design for cars (especially multicopters and rovers) so the compass must be placed with as many energy and kinetic sources as possible to avoid magnetic interference. (On fixed wing aircraft it is often easier to install APM far enough from motors and ESCs to avoid magnetic interference, so this is not as critical, but APM 2.6 gives more flexibility in that locations and is a good choice for them, too). This is designed to be used with the 3DR uBlox GPS with the compass (see option below), so that the GPS / Compass unit can be mounted further from the noise sources than the APM itself.
– Arduino Compatible!
– Can be ordered with top entry pins to connect connectors vertically, or as side entry pins to slide connectors at either end horizontally
– Includes 3-axis gyro, acceleration and magnetometer, along with a high performance barometer
– Onboard 4MB Dataflash chip for automatic datalogging
– Optional outside GPS board, uBlox LEA-6H unit with compass.
One of the first open source autopilot systems to use the Invensense 6 DoF Acceleration / Gyro MPU-6000.
– Atmospheric pressure sensor upgraded to MS5611-01BA03, from measurement majors.
– Include ATMEGA2560 and ATMEGA32U – 2 chips for processing and USB functions respectively.
About power unit:
The power unit is a simple way to provide your APM / Arduflyer with clean power from the lipo battery as well as current consumption and battery voltage measurements, all through a 6 P cable. On-board switching output regulator 5.3 V and a maximum of 3A from up to 6 S lipo battery. Special for APM2.5.2 APM2.6 Pixhawk flight controller
Note: The power unit is only designed to operate the APM / Arduflyer, the RC receiver and accessories (GPS, radio metering). It is not designed for machine operation. Use your own ESC / BEC aircraft for that.
Max input voltage: 30V
Max current sensor: 90A
Voltage and current measuring composition for ADC 5V
Switching Output Regulator 5.3 V and 3A Max
6 P Molex cable plugs directly to APM / Arduflyer 2.5’s ‘PM’ connector

"I was recommended to Home Legal Services by my Estate Agents.
Their fee was very competitive and when I called the office my query was dealt with instantly. On one occasion they emailed my Solicitors for me with a query I had. I was always worried every time I called a Solicitor the fee would increase, didn’t realise Home Legal Services was a fixed fee conveyancing service. Would highly recommend."


title: Knee replacement and such

text:
We were up early and I had a chance to take a few 'Sunrise Over the Lake' shots. Here is one of them:
Not bad for being 5 feet outside of our RV... :) This campsite definitely has the 'it' factor. We are at Holiday Park, Army Corps of Engineers (COE) Recreation Area at Benbrook Lake.
We got ready, had a quick breakfast and headed over to the Plaza Medical Center of Fort Worth.
Sue was scheduled to be there by 6:00 AM and got into surgery at 9:00 for a left knee replacement. Brad was going going to hang out in the waiting room so we met him there.
There is a lot to be impressed about with this hospital. In the waiting room a 'Patient Liaison Representative' met us and kept us updated on the progress and movement of the patient.
I also liked the hot coffee and breakfast muffins and danish rolls in the waiting room!
When I went back to the car mid-morning for something I noticed 'Complimentary Valet Parking' was in progress. It was a nice facility. And the people were very nice.
The cafeteria was very nice too. Quite a big selection for lunch. I had the catfish, Brad and Pam had fajita salad. While were eating, the doctor called Brad and said the surgery went off without a hitch and basically was a boring, uneventful procedure. (The way we like them.)
Sue was in recovery for another hour plus so we had time to finish and Brad went to be with her. We dropped in later in the afternoon and she was pretty groggy but looking great. Mark and Drew, (their sons) drove in from Houston and arrived while we were there. We said our goodbyes and will check in again on the weekend.
Back at the campground, I had a couple of minutes and took some evening shots of the lake near our campsite.
Nice place. We read our books (Texas and Centennial) for a while and hit the sack.
For all the 'silent majority' out there, we really appreciate you taking a few minutes to check out the Roadrunner Chronicles! That goes for 'Followers' and 'Commenters' too - Thanks!
That's all for now...


title: Fintech startup zestmoney announces shutdown 150 employees to be laid off

text:
ZestMoney, the Bengaluru-based fintech startup, is set to cease operations by the end of December, confirmed by the company’s new leadership during a town hall meeting on December 5.
Founded in 2016, ZestMoney boasted a considerable customer base of 17 million, facilitating monthly loan disbursals of ₹400 crore, partnering with 27 lending institutions, 10,000 online brands, and 75,000 offline stores.
The decision to shut down follows unsuccessful attempts to secure further funding or find a buyer.
Following the announcement of the shutdown, numerous consumers have turned to X Platform, complaining about the company’s failure to address their credit score and other concerns. Allegedly, despite assurances, these issues remain unresolved, and credit scores have not been updated as promised.
However, the company has taken notice of the online concerns, prompting the reopening of tickets to address the raised issues.
What went down?
The company, which once had a valuation of $445 million, struggled after burning through $130 million of investor capital in its eight-year run.
Despite efforts by the new management – Mohit Chhajer, Mandar Satpute, and Abhishek Sharma – to revive the sinking ship by raising $5-7 million from investors, including existing backer Quona Capital, the rescue attempts failed to materialize.
The imminent closure follows the departure of ZestMoney’s original co-founders – Lizzie Chapman, Priya Sharma, and Ashish Anantharaman – who resigned earlier in the year after failed acquisition talks with PhonePe, resulting in a 30% reduction in the workforce.
Regarding the appointment of the new team, Chapman previously wrote,
“Over the last few weeks, we have done a lot of thinking about the best path forward for ourselves given where the company is at. And whilst it has been very hard for us to arrive at this conclusion, we have decided that we will step back from our day-to-day operating roles with ZestMoney.”
She further added,
“As we go on to the next chapters of our own journeys, we are confidently passing the baton to Mohit Chhajer, Mandar Satpute and Abhishek Sharma to lead the company into the future. They have all been with us on the journey for a long time, having helped build and scale the company to be the largest digital lending franchise in the country. We have 100 percent belief in ZestMoney’s potential and the 175 incredible ‘Zesties’ who are more than ready to take on the huge opportunity that lies ahead for the company.”
A sinking ship
The startup’s woes stem from increasing losses and a surge in loan defaults, leading to a three-fold rise in losses to INR 398.8 crore in FY22 against INR 125.8 crore in the previous fiscal year. Despite a revenue increase to INR 145 crore in FY22, the mounting losses became unsustainable.
Despite efforts to execute a turnaround strategy, dubbed ‘ZestMoney 2.0’ or ‘ZeMo 2.0,’ the company faced obstacles in successfully implementing this plan. ZestMoney pledged two months of severance payment and outplacement support to the impacted workforce.
Last year, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) imposed restrictions on non-bank institutions and fintech firms, including certain BNPL services, barring them from loading credit lines into prepaid payment instruments such as wallets and prepaid cards. Additionally, a potential acquisition by UPI provider PhonePe in November 2022 fell through due to valuation disputes, resulting in a prior layoff of 100 ZestMoney employees.
The issues regarding regulatory systems and challenges in executing their revival strategy have ultimately led to ZestMoney’s decision to stop operations, culminating in the conclusion of its journey within the BNPL sector. The demise of ZestMoney is an earmark of the competitive challenges and financial constraints other startups in the domain may also face.

text:
In a season of Mythic items, Fortnite players want to know how to get the Mythic Prized Llama Back Bling in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4.
Fortnite Last Resort is arguably the best Fortnite season in Chapter 4. The three new POIs provide daring yet scenic landing spots, and their Vaults are full of deadly Mythic weapons. With the return of Midas' Drum Gun, Kit's Charge Shotgun, and six other Mythic weapons, the Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 meta is as diversified as it has ever been.
Players who manage to stay alive past the off-spawn chaos can now earn free rewards simply for surviving. One of the rewards, a Prized Llama Back Bling, can even be upgraded to a Mythic rarity to match the season's theme.
So, how do you get the Mythic Prized Llama Back Bling in Fortnite?
How to Get Mythic Prized Llama Back Bling in Fortnite
To get the Mythic Prized Llama Back Bling in Fortnite, players must complete Survivor Quests.

Instead, players need only to survive and get kills to keep progressing through the quest line.
After players complete the first ten quests, they will receive the Common Prized Llama Back Bling. To keep upgrading the cosmetic, players must keep completing the latest batch of Survivor Quests. The quests become harder as time goes on, requiring players to earn high eliminations in Victory Royales.

How To Make The Fluffiest Cheddar Chive Biscuits For Breakfast
There’s nothing like enjoying a fluffy biscuit with your eggs in the morning. And if you can perfectly hone your biscuit-making skills, you’ll never go back to the store-bought kind — no doubt about it. (We’ll spill two critical tricks: use cold butter and play with the dough as little as possible.)
Before you start to assemble your dough ingredients, you’ll want to decide what kind of biscuits you’re making. Are you going sweet or savory? Is it a cheddar jalapeño kind of day? Or are you leaning more toward cranberry orange? Maybe chocolate chip is more your style. But if we have anything to say about it, cheddar and chive biscuits are always a great place to start. Check out our simple recipe below that’ll bring all of the fluffy, buttery goodness to any morning of the week.
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon baking powder
8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 1/2 cups shredded white cheddar cheese
1/4 cup fresh chives
3 tablespoons melted butter
First things first, cut up your butter into cubes and put it in the freezer. You want your butter to be as cold as possible when you incorporate it in with the dry ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Whisk together your baking powder, flour, salt and black pepper in a bowl.
Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients and incorporate it either with your fingers or a pastry blender until the pieces of butter are about the size of hazelnuts. Stir in the cheese and the chives so it’s all evenly distributed.
Add the buttermilk and gently mix it all together with a spatula. Dump the dough out of the bowl onto a lightly floured surface. Use your hands to form the dough into a round, flat mound, about 1 1/2 inches thick. Press any dry bits of dough into the mound.
Use a biscuit cutter (around 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter) to portion out the biscuits. If there are any dough scraps, form them into another biscuit.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet on top of a piece of parchment paper and brush them with an egg wash (1 egg and a 1/4 cup of water).
Bake the biscuits in the oven until they’re golden brown, about 18 to 20 minutes. Let the biscuits cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve them with butter, or cut them in half and use them for a breakfast sandwich.
Good luck keeping them around for more than 10 minutes. You’ve been warned — these babies are addicting.

What to eat before, during, and after a long distance run
If you are preparing to run a long distance, whether one of Cascade Relays’ awesome relays or any other distance run, it is important to fuel your body with the food it needs for success. Eating right for a long distance event actually starts at least a week before the race itself, and continues after the race is completed. Here we examine the best nutritional choices for long distance runners, so you can run great, and feel great.
A Week to a Few Days Before Your Event:
Because carbohydrates are the primary fuel burned during physical activity, they will be your focus when preparing for a long distance run. Ideally, you want to eat foods that are rich in carbs and moderate to low in protein and fat in the weeks before an event. Your goal should be for at least 65 percent of your calories to come from carbs during the week before a race. Some good food sources of carbohydrates include brown rice, whole grain pasta or bread, potatoes, other starchy vegetables such as corn, beans, and lentils, and fruit. Many nutritional experts also recommend smoothies, oatmeal, and homemade granola.
3 to 4 Hours Prior to Your Event:
On the day of your long distance run, focus on getting mostly carbs and some protein. Pick foods that are easily digestible and won’t cause you to have gastrointestinal discomfort. Some examples of good choices for the morning of your long run include:
- Bagel spread with natural nut butter
- Banana, a protein bar, and a glass of low-fat milk
- Oatmeal with a cup of orange juice
About 15 Minutes Before your Long-Distance Run:
On your long-distance run you don’t want to be hungry- which can cause you to run out of energy and leave you feeling fatigued, nor should you feel heavy and stuffed from a meal immediately before running- which can lead to cramping or annoying side stitches.
For a fast-acting source of energy during the beginning stretch of your run, you might choose to consume a high-carb snack or energy gel around 15 minutes prior to the start of your race. An energy gel or chew can provide you with an energy boost, and will keep you from running on an empty stomach.
During your Run:
When you run long distances, your body is burning through energy and loses small amounts of sodium and other electrolytes through sweat, so you will need to replenish yourself during your run. While you run your race, you want to take in enough carbs and fluids to fuel your run, but you don’t want to overdo it. Filling up or drinking too much during your run can lead to stomach upset, cramps, and indigestion, and can impair your performance.
You can replenish your body during your run by hydrating- with water, or with sports drinks which contain electrolytes. You can maintain hydration levels by drinking 5 to 10 ounces of fluid every 15 to 20 minutes during your long run. Many runners also like to carry high-energy snacks, such as sports gels, chews, and protein bars, in order to replenish lost energy. Choose carb-heavy snacks with a high glycemic index that are small and light to carry.
Immediately After the Race:
After a long run or race, you will need to replace lost fluids and restore glycogen levels. Immediately following your long run or race event, eat a 100–400 calorie snack to aid recovery. Some good choices include water and an energy bar, chocolate milk, orange juice, or a sports drink.
A Few Hours After your Run:
Within two hours after a race or long-run, give your body foods high in carbohydrates and protein. To replenish glycogen stores and rebuild muscles, aim for a 3:1 ratio of carbs to protein. A protein smoothie with a variety of fruit and your favorite protein powder is a great choice for this purpose. Other good choices include a bagel with nut butter, cottage cheese with a piece of fruit, or spaghetti and meatballs.
It is also critical to replace lost body fluids with water, chocolate milk, or a recovery drink. Drink 20 to 24 ounces for every pound of water weight lost during your run in order to replenish your lost hydration.
When you are running long distances, nutrition and hydration matter. But remember, every runner is different, and what works for one long-distance runner might not work for you. During your training, pay attention to how your nutritional choices affect your running and keep a journal recording what works best. On the day of your long-distance event, stick to what you know works for you, and never try new food products on event day. At Cascade Relays, we know every runner is different, and we encourage you to do what works best for you. Interested in joining us on one of our awesomely enjoyable relay races? At Cascade Relays, we offer long distance runs focused on community, friendship, scenic courses, and supporting local non-profits. Visit https://cascaderelays.com to learn more.

Aptimyz Transforms Retail ERP with Rapid Browser-Based Scanning using Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK
Aptimyz was building an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solution with integrated payments to cater to retailers. The Aptimyz team wanted to integrate fast barcode scanning and quick integration into the system, as browser scanning may sometimes be slow.
Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK was a comprehensive solution to Aptimyz's complex scanning challenges.
The Challenge Faced
Developing a high-quality scanning functionality from scratch requires significant engineering, which was one of the crucial challenges for the Aptimyz team. They wanted to avoid the hassle of developing scanning algorithms and to deliver reliable, high-performance barcode scanning capabilities across their solution.
Beyond basic scanning capabilities, they wanted to integrate features, such as controlling the device camera, caching codes, and localization, that integrate natively into the application. Embarking on the project from scratch would have required a substantial allocation of time and resources. Slow browser-based scanning was another challenge that the Aptimyz team encountered.
– Charles Major, Chief Product Officer
Choosing Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK vs. Building from Scratch
Developing browser-based barcode scanning from scratch would have taken a considerable amount of time for the Aptimyz team. Hence, after testing several SDKs from multiple vendors, they decided to go ahead with Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK because of the following reasons:
Dynamsoft offers straightforward APIs for scanning functionality that is easy to implement and doesn't require extensive technical expertise or development resources from Aptimyz's engineers. This sped up the time to integrate and kept complexity low.
Dynamsoft's solution is highly flexible, enabling Aptimyz to start with more basic 1D barcode scanning and then upgrade to 2D barcodes, postal codes, QR codes, and other capabilities over time as needed to meet customer or industry requirements.
While full-featured, Dynamsoft's SDK provides options for customizing or extending functionality to meet any requirements specific to Aptimyz's application and customers not addressed out of the box.
Dynamsoft's SDK abstracts away the complexity of interacting with smartphone and device cameras at a low level. It provides an interface to easily trigger scans, enabling lighting and focus features and handling differences between camera capabilities across platforms without Aptimyz needing deep camera expertise.
As a specialized vendor focused on barcode scanning, Dynamsoft keeps its SDK compliant with all major standards, organizations, and privacy, security, and data usage regulations to make sure technology meets the latest guidelines so that Aptimyz's application will as well by using them. This reduces risk and overhead for Aptimyz.
Dynamsoft provides reliable support and assistance for Aptimyz's engineers when they encountered any issues or questions while integrating the SDK.
Dynamsoft's scanning SDK is affordable and offers flexible, scalable pricing based on the capabilities and volume of scans - which suited Aptimyz's needs well at both small and enterprise scales.
Beyond its excellent performance, the clear and comprehensive documentation, coupled with outstanding developer support, significantly accelerated the implementation process. Additionally, we were delighted by the flexibility of Dynamsoft's licensing options, catering to the needs of both individual developers and large enterprises alike. This combination of robust technology, exceptional support, and adaptable licensing made Dynamsoft the ideal choice for our needs.

If you’re looking to take your skin rejuvenation to the next level, it’s time to consider Subnovii in Windermere. Subnovii is the first FDA-cleared plasma device that uses low-frequency energy to rebuild healthier skin.
What it Treats
30 to 60 minutes
Recovery & Downtime
7 to 12 days, depending on your specific treatment
Why choose Subnovii in Windermere?
Precise and Predictable
The highly controlled, low-emission design allows for consistent results and reduced healing time compared to other skin resurfacing treatments.
The Subnovii pen's controlled output allows your Lumina Vein & Aesthetic Institute provider to customize your treatment to your specific desires and goals.
Reduced Healing Time
Compared to other methods of skin tightening, Subnovii requires less healing time, allowing you to enjoy your results sooner.
The Subnovii Process: What to Expect
Before receiving your treatment with Subnovii in Windermere, you'll sit down for a consultation with one of our trained providers. During this conversation, we'll get to know you, your goals, and answer any questions you have about the treatment.
Plasma skin resurfacing is performed under local anesthesia. Your provider will use the handheld device to deliver targeted plasma energy to the designated treatment area, stimulating collagen growth and smoothing wrinkles. Most treatments last under an hour, though it depends on the size of the area being treated.
After your treatment, your provider will give you specially formulated aftercare products to help promote healing. The small scabs that form after treatment should fall away in 1 to 2 weeks. You can expect to return to normal activities and resume wearing makeup 7 days after treatment. The plasma energy will continue to work in your skin, so your results will continue to improve for up to 6 months following treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a plasma pen?
A plasma pen is a small handheld device that uses a controlled electric charge to stimulate the fibroblast cells in the skin's surface. This promotes cellular regeneration and improves the structure of your skin.
What's the difference between Subnovii and micro-needling?
Unlike micro-needling, the Subnovii pen never makes contact with the skin. It creates a small electric charge just above the skin's surface, while micro-needling requires penetrating the skin. Because of this, Subnovii generally requires fewer treatments and less healing time than micro-needling.
How long will it take to see results?
The results from Subnovii are immediate, and especially noticeable after your skin has healed in the first week or so. As your body continues regenerating cells and producing more collagen, your results will continue to improve for several months following your treatment.
Tell us more about what you need using our Virtual Consultation Tool. Simply input your concerns and we'll provide custom treatment recommendations for your unique needs.

Homeschooling Multiple Grade Levels For the First Time
August 8, 2023 Adrienne Brown 0 Comments
Firstly, homeschooling multiple grade levels for the first time is very challenging and requires extreme dedication.
Secondly, I am a veteran homeschool consultant dedicated to helping new and aspiring homeschooling parents reach their homeschool goals.
Think about it, new homeschool parents often need support, guidance, and help to find resources necessary to succeed in homeschooling.
Since our family has experience in multiple styles of homeschooling, we feel qualified to walk alongside newcomers.
Plus, we are passionate about inspiring confidence in parents who may be navigating this process for the first time.
First-time homeschooling multiple grade levels
Are you a first-time homeschooling parent? Do you have two or more children you are thinking about homeschooling?
I know how it feels when you have never homeschooled before but you want to.
What you really need is guidance, support, and an experienced person to help you through.
Because It is often overwhelming and can cause you to feel unsure about the homeschooling process.
Then you start to question your ability to do it and wonder why you even considered homeschooling in the first place.
But, hold on! If you are anything like I was in the beginning then I know this is also true about you.
You are determined to provide your children with the best education possible. You understand that you will need the best help that you can find.
Above all, you are not too proud to seek out the help that you need.
And with that winning attitude, you will be mega-successful in homeschooling your children.
1 to 3 years experience homeschooling
Maybe you have been homeschooling for about 1 to 2 years but you still feel overwhelmed every now and then.
Even though you have some experience with homeschooling, you just want to learn some new strategies or try a new curriculum.
The first thing I know about you is that you are very committed to homeschooling and you believe in its benefits.
So, don’t be discouraged because you are feeling a nudge to use another resource.
Many times I have felt that same feeling, and a few times I actually switched my curriculum.
Especially with the math curriculums, I switched from Abeka to Saxon with one of my sons and it proved to be a disaster.
Simply because The two math curriculums present very differently and I already understood Abeka.
Another time, I tried to switch my child from my staple math, Abeka to Math-U-see, but that too failed. This child just didn’t like having to use the manipulative.
However, the manipulatives and extras from these curricula did come in handy for some of our other students.
Such as using the companion video from Saxon and the manipulatives from Math-U-See proved most helpful in their understanding of concepts.
What does this mean for you? Well, I am just trying to encourage you to evaluate your kids and curriculum first before switching.
Here’s how: Go to the back of your child’s textbook to find the extra work pages such as reviews or homework pages.
After they have had some time to study the concepts a little, use the other curriculum to test their comprehension levels.
After accessing them this way you can know if they are truly comprehending your current curriculum. This fact may help you to make a better decision about whether you should change or not.
To the working Parent
I know that it is hard trying to keep up with work and homeschooling, yet it can be done.
You really need to have flexibility in your children’s learning schedule.
Finding support can be as easy as joining a co-op group that has co-teaching at its core.
This kind of relationship is magical for parents who need to work but desires to homeschool their children.
Also, there are supportive resources that can supplement your child’s education when you are not available to teach.
So, find and build up strong relationships with other parents who you can barter your time with.
You may be able to teach their children when you are not working and have them teach all the kids when you are working.
Homeschooling multiple children is challenging
Whether you are seeking resources and guidance to successfully homeschool your children who are at various grade levels.
You will need to find a curriculum that can be adapted to meet the needs of each child. In doing so you will save money, as well as, freedom from headaches from trying to use various curriculums.
Homeschooling is becoming more prevalent among big families
Did you know that nearly 3.7 million students were homeschooled in the United States in the 2019-2020 school year, with most families homeschooling more than one child?
Subsequently, families homeschooling for the first time found it challenging to provide individualized instruction and attention to each child.
These parents also found it difficult to sort out which curricula to use for each student.
That’s where the homeschool veteran can help
An experienced homeschooling veteran can help you identify and select the appropriate curriculum for your family.
Veteran homeschoolers can show big families how to create and maintain a structured schedule and routine.
A veteran homeschooler can teach you how to respond to people who criticize and question you about deciding to homeschool.
To sum things up, although it can be difficult, hectic, and costly to homeschool multiple children, it can be accomplished.
If you find that you need help to homeschool your multiple children click this page to schedule a free 30-minute call with me. I would love to help you.
Also, here is a book that shares my story of when I first started homeschooling:


title: Unleashing the power of adaptive multi paddock grazing a sustainable approach to nurturing the land

text:
At Willow Creek Ranch, we utilize a grazing practice known as multi-paddock adaptive grazing (MAG). This regenerative farming method is also called rotational grazing, holistic grazing, or multi-species rotational grazing. It is based on the natural patterns of grazing found in healthy ecosystems.
Adaptive, multi-paddock grazing is based on the idea that herbivores in nature historically travelled as a herd. They intensely grazed an area for a short period of time, and kept moving due in large part to pressure from predators. This provided any given area of grazed grassland a long period of recovery. By mimicking this process, we can improve the quality of the environment. We divide the land into smaller paddocks so that animals can’t roam easily across a large pasture. The animals are then moved from one paddock to the next, giving the grasses and plants in each area time to heal and grow back before they are grazed again.
Adaptive, multi-paddock grazing has a good effect on the health of the soil, which is one of its main benefits. As animals move through the paddocks, they graze on grasses and forage plants, which helps them interact with soil microbes more effectively. Urine, manure, and trampling of vegetation into the soil increased the amount of organic matter in the soil, improves the cycling of nutrients, and improves water balance in the soil. The result is dirt that is alive and full of microorganisms, which keeps the land fertile and productive for a long time.
Supporting Biodiversity: The multi-paddock grazing method helps support biodiversity in a natural way. By having different paddocks with different kinds of plants and fodder, we help a wider range of plant species to grow. This variety not only gives our livestock a more balanced food, but it also helps insects, birds, and small mammals find good places to live. By taking care of this diversity, we help create a strong and stable ecosystem that helps keep pests away, pollinate plants, and improve the farm’s general health.
A Sustainable Future: Adaptive, multi-paddock grazing isn’t just about making our land healthier now; it’s also about making farmland sustainable for the future. This method cuts down on the need for manufactured inputs and chemical fertilizers and slows down soil erosion. Working with nature instead of against it creates a circle of renewal that is good for the soil, plants, animals, and the whole ecosystem. This whole-farm method fits with our goal of taking care of the land in a responsible way. It lets us build a successful farm while protecting the environment for future generations.
Adaptive, multi-paddock grazing, which also goes by the names rotational grazing and holistic grazing, is a hopeful way to make agriculture more sustainable. By imitating nature’s way of doing things and taking care of the soil, this regenerative practice increases biodiversity, improves soil health, and creates a farming environment that is more resilient. At our farm, we use this transformative approach as a cornerstone of our dedication to sustainable land management and responsible farming.


title: Speak no evil trailer vacation buddies become vacation nightmares in shudders latest horror

text:
Remember the Hulu comedy Vacation Buddies, in which John Cena plays the vacation pal who overstays his welcome? The new Shudder film Speak No Evil is like the horror version of that, and based on the reviews out of Sundance it’s a film that will make you not want to speak to anybody while on vacation ever again.
Directed by Christian Tafdrup, Speak No Evil centers on a Danish and Dutch family who felt a connection to one another while vacationing in Tuscany among a group of other families. This prompts an invitation to the Dutch family’s home, only to find that their free-spirited nature clashes mightily with the Danish’s conservative values. As the tension between them escalates, it’s inevitable that things will take a nightmarish turn.
Based on the footage here, the film will play around with our perception of both families. Is one truly being awful to the other, or is there some overreacting going on? One thing is also abundantly clear: this movie is going to pull no punches, which is something you can expect from most films of Nordic origin.
Starring Morten Burian, Sidsel Siem Koch, Fedja van Huêt, Karina Smulders, Liva Forsberg, and Marius Damslev, Speak No Evil opens in select theaters on September 9th, followed by streaming on Shudder beginning September 15th.
On a vacation in Tuscany, two families – one Danish, one Dutch – meet and become fast friends. Months later, the free-spirited Dutch family extends an invitation to the more conservative Danish one for a holiday weekend getaway at their countryside home. However, it doesn’t take long before things gradually get out of hand as the joy of reunion is replaced with misunderstandings. The Dutch hospitality quickly turns unnerving for the Danes, and they find themselves increasingly caught in a web of their own politeness in the face of eccentric…or is it sinister…behavior.

You have received this because of one of the following reasons:
Once a debt has been passed to the Enforcement Agents it will not be recalled by the Council unless there are extenuating circumstances and those circumstances can be proven.
The Enforcement Agent fees are as follows:
The fee of £75.00 is charged as soon as the case is passed from the Local Authority to the Enforcement Agent. The charge is payable on each Liability Order – this will be added to the debt as soon as it is passed to the Enforcement Agents and provided you make an arrangement and do not break it, this will be the only fee incurred
The fee of £235.00 is payable upon first attendance at the premises. Only one enforcement fee may be charged even if there are multiple Liability Orders – this will only be added to the debt if you fail to make an arrangement or break an arrangement and the Enforcement Agent is required to go to your property
The fee is payable upon first attendance at the premises to remove the goods or prepare for sale
Enforcement agents may also recover disbursement fees that are reasonably and actually incurred such as the cost of storage of goods removed and locksmith’s fees
The level of the fees is set by the Government and will be reviewed annually
The compliance fee will be taken before the arrears and once that is cleared all payments will go towards reducing the Liability Order. However, if further fees are incurred at any point then they will be taken on a pro-rata basis with the Liability Order once the compliance fee has been cleared.
If you wish to set up an arrangement or discuss a debt that is with the Enforcement Agents, CDER Group, then please call them on the following number: 0330 107 0023

title: 7.0 compatibility

text:
This page describes changes introduced in MongoDB 7.0 that can affect compatibility with older versions of MongoDB.
MongoDB 7.0 is a Major Release, which means that it is supported for both MongoDB Atlas and on-premises deployments. MongoDB 7.0 includes changes introduced in MongoDB Rapid Releases 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3. This page describes compatibility changes introduced in those Rapid Releases and MongoDB 7.0.
To learn more about the differences between Major and Rapid Releases, see MongoDB Versioning.
For detail on downgrading from MongoDB 7.0, see Downgrade 7.0 to 6.0.
Deprecated | Description |
| Deprecated in version 7.0. |
Deprecated only for Linux in 7.0. |
Starting in MongoDB 7.0, free monitoring is decommissioned. The following aren't available:
Starting in MongoDB 7.0, Queryable Encryption with equality queries is generally available (GA). Improvements in the GA make it incompatible with the Queryable Encryption Public Preview, which should not be used now that the feature is GA.
To use Queryable Encryption with equality queries, MongoDB server must be version 7.0 or later and drivers must be 7.0 compatible. If you are still using the Queryable Encryption Public Preview included with MongoDB 6.x, the server must remain on version 6.x and the drivers must be 6.x compatible. You cannot use MongoDB 6.x compatible drivers with a 7.0 server, or 7.0 compatible drivers with a 6.x server. Attempting to do so results in an error.
To make upgrading easier, MongoDB 7.0 drivers can decrypt data created with MongoDB 6.x drivers. For upgrade options, see the following sections.
If possible, create new collections rather than migrating those produced with the Queryable Encryption Public Preview in MongoDB 6.x:
Upgrade MongoDB server and drivers to 7.0.
Configure a new encrypted collection with a different name from the previous collection.
Insert new data, or an unencrypted version of the existing data if you have a local copy.
Drop the previous version 6.x collection.
If you cannot use new data or do not have an unencrypted version of the existing data:
Upgrade MongoDB server and drivers to 7.0
Using a 7.0 compatible driver, query the encrypted collection to decrypt it.
Save the output locally.
Configure a new encrypted collection and ingest the data.
MongoDB 7.0 compatible drivers can't query encrypted fields on data encrypted with MongoDB 6.x compatible drivers. To decrypt data, either query an unencrypted field or query the entire collection.
The following 7.0 features are not compatible with earlier versions of MongoDB. To downgrade from MongoDB 7.0 to an earlier version, you must remove data that uses any of the following features:
with range indexesCompound wildcard indexes require FCV 7.0 or greater. A pre-7.0
does not start if you are using one or more compound wildcard indexes.Config servers that have collections with

Starting in MongoDB 7.0, you can configure servers to authenticate X.509 certificates as cluster members identified by attributes or extension values. You can also override this configuration to accept alternate certificates during a rolling upgrade.
To downgrade to MongoDB 6.0, perform the certificate rotation procedure to unset
setting and rotate the cluster
membership certificates to ones with matching DC, O, and OU attributes.
Once this is complete, you can downgrade the cluster.
Remove partial TTL indexes from time series collections.
Remove or modify collections using new index parameters. In some cases, you may use

title: World mobile taps singularitynet to introduce blockchain based loans

text:
The UK-based mobile network operator – World Mobile – teamed up with the decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) marketplace – SingularityNET – to develop credit ratings for a lending program that utilizes blockchain technology.
The partnership will also enable World Mobile to scale its network and expand to new regions.
Combining AI and Blockchain Technology
According to a document seen by CryptoPotato, the collaboration with SingularityNET will upgrade World Mobile’s customer service as it will use AI technology to answer clients’ generic questions. The mobile network operator will also integrate the technology to establish a blockchain-based lending solution.
It will introduce the option in phases, with the first involving provisioning credit to observe who will be eligible to use the offering. Second, the entity will check whether it can provide additional loans to loyal customers. Finally, the program will reach global users served by traditional financial institutions. Speaking on the matter was World Mobile’s CEO – Micky Watkins:
“We are proud to partner with SingularityNet on the integration of AI technology for customer support and introducing blockchain-based data loans. This strategic partnership reflects our shared commitment of delivering cutting-edge innovations to solve real world problems.
With AI-driven assistance, decentralized identifiers, and secure blockchain transactions, we are empowering users with seamless experiences and unlocking new possibilities in the mobile industry.”
Janet Adams – COO of SingulrityNET – described this partnership as a “key component” of his company’s journey since it will allow it to get “vital funds to those the traditional financial system has previously excluded.”
“We look forward to collaborating more closely with World Mobile to pioneer a fairer, decentralized future,” the exec added.
World Mobile’s Previous Efforts
The entity launched a token buyback program in June to advance the growth of its sharing economy. Specifically, World Mobile’s treasury was set to purchase its native coin WMT from the open market and distribute rewards to some of its users.
“By repurchasing World Mobile Tokens (WMT) from the open market, we aim to build a sustainable sharing economy for all our participants.
We believe that by executing on our business model and initiating buybacks from real-world revenue is a large step towards mass adoption and strengthens the overall stability and utility of the World Mobile ecosystem,” CEO Watkins said at the time.
World Mobile also teamed up with Conflux Network (a blockchain platform developed in China) last month to expand its network access.


title: Center finds answers to students questions

text:
Students—especially freshmen—have a lot of questions. Just knowing what office to ask can be a challenge.
Hours of Operation
The Hawks Q&A Center's regular hours:
- Mondays and Thursdays, 10:00 a.m.–6:30 p.m.
- Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 10:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
- Saturdays, 1:00–5:00 p.m.
- Sundays, 5:00–9:00 p.m.
Thanks to a new initiative, the Hawks Q&A Center, students have a one-stop shop they can turn to for help with just about anything. If the center's staff members can't help a student directly, they find someone who can.
“I just want students to feel supported,” said Director Amber Racchini. “Helping is always inherent in the work that I do.”
About 90 percent of the time, the questions are completely answered by the Hawks Q&A Center staff, which includes two faculty members, Racchini and Armani Davis, acting assistant director. Also on the staff are graduate assistant Jacob Cribbs and work-study student Jordan Weir.
The staff tries to respond to questions within 24 hours and can usually manage that. Extra time may be needed if they have to work with someone in another office.
“I already had a relationship with a lot of the offices [before the center started],” Racchini said. “It was easy to talk with them about how we could work together to support students. It's nice that we have developed partnerships to directly support our students.”
How Does It Work?
Currently, students can talk with a Hawks Q&A Center staff member by phone or on Zoom whenever the office is open. There are some evening and weekend hours built into the schedule to make it more convenient for students to talk with someone directly.
Students also can contact the staff anytime, even when the center is closed, by completing an ihelp ticket, a simple form that gathers contact information and the student's question. Most questions come through ihelp or email.
One freshman who contacted the center, Essie Josey, got her questions answered, along with the kind of support that made her feel better about her first semester in college. “I'd recommend it for upcoming IUP freshmen, because a lot of their concerns can be resolved,” said Josey, a political science/pre-law major. “I think they are very helpful.”
What Are Students Asking?
Since the Hawks Q&A Center opened in August 2020, staff members have been collecting information to analyze who is using the center and the kinds of questions they ask the most. This helps the staff prepare to respond to common questions.
Based on data from the center's first semester, the most common questions can change as the needs of the semester unfold. Generally, questions about academic concerns, scheduling classes, and billing are more common than those about technology issues, housing, I-Cards, student employment, mail, and student life.
“The range of questions you get is really unique, anywhere from meal plans to ‘the toilet in my residence hall isn't working,'” Racchini said. “I use my own background knowledge, partnerships around campus, and the website to answer questions. It's a little like being an investigator.”
Who's Using the Center?
In the first few months it was open, the Hawks Q&A Center received about 400 requests for help.
Though most people had one question or issue, one student contacted the center five times last semester.
It's not surprising that freshmen are using the center the most, but sophomores, juniors, seniors, and graduate students are also taking advantage of this helpful resource. There have even been questions from a few parents, alumni, and advisors.
“It's a helping platform that is university-wide,” Racchini said.


title: How to get honey in minecraft

text:
If you built your first base next to a bee nest, you’d be surprised when it’s flowing with honey within a day. But is there a way to harvest it without getting swarmed by bees? Here’s how to get honey in Minecraft quickly.
Where Can You Find Honey in Minecraft
An empty beehive and one full of honey
You’ll need to search for a bee nest to find honey in Minecraft. These can be found on trees and are more likely to spawn in a Meadows biome. Once you locate one, you’ll have to wait for the bees to get to work and start making that sweet honey.
Alongside harvesting honey, you can also get honeycomb from a bee nest with the help of shears. This can then be used to craft a beehive, which you can place anywhere. You can also pick up a bee nest (and a beehive) by breaking them with a tool that has the Silk Touch enchantment.
How Can You Harvest Honey
Before you get the honey from the nest, I suggest you place a campfire under/near it, so the bees don’t attack you. From then on, it’s easy pickings!
Simply equip an empty bottle and right-click on the nest or hive full of honey. If you’ve placed the campfire close enough, you’ll end up with a honey bottle, and no bee will attack you.
What Can You Do With Honey in Minecraft
Honey is one of the few items in Minecraft that can stack up to only 16. So, here’s what you can do with all these honey bottles.
While drinking a bottle of honey isn’t the smartest thing in real life, it’s a great way to fill up your hunger bar in Minecraft. In fact, one bottle will restore 3 hunger points and clear the poison effect.
Honey Block Recipe
Honey blocks don’t only look nice, but they let you slide on them. This allows you to fall slowly, thus not taking any damage. Also, if you fall onto a honey block, the fall damage you take is reduced by 80%, similarly to haybales.
And they’re straightforward to make since all you need is 4 honey bottles. If you don’t like the block and want to turn it back to honey, add it to the crafting table with 4 bottles.
Turning a honey block into honey bottles
Even though it’s better to get sugar from sugar canes, you can still turn 1 honey bottle into 3 sugars. But, unless you have many beehives, opting for a sugar cane farm is better for crafting sugar.
So, now that you know how to get honey in Minecraft, will you make a house out of honey blocks? Or maybe a colossal beehive farm? Either way, I’d love to see your creations on the Minecraft Forum.

Planning a trip to Vietnam from Mauritius? One of the essential requirements for Mauritians traveling to Vietnam is obtaining an e-visa. In this article, we will provide you with all the information you need to know about the Vietnam e-visa fee for Mauritians, as well as explore an alternative option for a hassle-free experience.

The Vietnam government website offers four types of e-visas for Mauritians, each with its own fee structure. It’s important to note that the fees mentioned here are subject to change, so it’s always best to check the official website for the most up-to-date information.
For a single-entry e-visa valid for up to 30 days, the fee is US$25. This option allows you to explore Vietnam for a shorter duration without the need for multiple entries. If you plan to stay longer or require multiple entries, the fee for a multiple-entry e-visa valid for up to 30 days is US$50.
For those who wish to extend their stay and require a single-entry e-visa valid for up to 90 days, the fee remains the same at US$25. Similarly, if you need a multiple-entry e-visa valid for up to 90 days, the fee is US$50.
It’s important to keep in mind that the Vietnam e-visa fee is non-refundable, regardless of whether your visa application is approved or denied. Therefore, it’s crucial to ensure that you have all the necessary documents and meet the eligibility criteria before applying.
The benefits of hiring an agency
While applying for an e-visa directly through the government website is a viable option, it may not be suitable for everyone. Some applicants may be in a rush, want to avoid potential frustration, or simply feel unfamiliar with the process. In such cases, hiring an agency can provide a simple and hassle-free experience.
Agencies specializing in Vietnam e-visa applications offer a range of benefits to applicants.

However, for those who prefer a hassle-free experience or require urgent processing, hiring an agency specializing in Vietnam e-visa applications is a recommended option. With their expertise, friendly support, and commitment to delivering your e-visa on time, agencies provide a valuable service that ensures a smooth and stress-free travel experience.
