title: Craig wrights assets frozen court blocks 6 million

text:
A U.K. judge has issued a global freezing order on £6 million of Craig Wright’s assets to thwart any attempt to move them offshore.
This decision follows a court case that concluded Wright was not Satoshi Nakamoto, the alleged inventor of Bitcoin, as he had claimed.
On March 14, Judge James Mellor, presiding over a lawsuit filed by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), ruled that Craig Wright was not the author of the Bitcoin white paper or the original versions of the Bitcoin software.
Following this decision, Wright informed Companies House, the U.K.’s corporate registry, that shares in his company, RCJBR Holding, had been transferred to DeMorgan, a firm incorporated in Singapore.
A judgment published on the Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund’s website on Wednesday states that the costs incurred by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) are approximately £6.7 million.
Judge James Mellor, in the judgment, highlighted serious concerns from COPA regarding Craig Wright’s actions to potentially evade the financial repercussions of his loss at trial, specifically pointing to the transfer of shares as a maneuver in this context.
He stated :
“Understandably, that gave rise to serious concerns on COPA’s part that Dr Wright was implementing measures to seek to evade the costs consequences of his loss at trial.”
Mellor added :
“Dr Wright has a history of default in relation to orders for the payment of money,” Mellor wrote, before detailing some examples. COPA has a very powerful claim to be awarded a very substantial sum in costs … I consider there is a very real risk of dissipation.”
In 2023, Craig Wright initiated legal action against 13 Bitcoin Core developers and several companies, such as Blockstream, Coinbase, and Block, alleging copyright infringements connected to Bitcoin.
The Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund reacted to the lawsuit by stating that prominent members of the Bitcoin community have faced numerous abusive legal actions for years.
They described these lawsuits as baseless yet impactful, noting that the burden of time, stress, financial cost, and legal jeopardy has led many developers to conclude that continuing work on Bitcoin is not justifiable.

I by no means concept that my 4th being pregnant can be my first and not using a circle of relatives physician
This first person article is the experience of Maggi Campbell, which is a wife and mother in PEI for more information about the first person stories of CBC, please see FAQ.
I could hear her heartbeat for a home fetus Doppler. Our three sons gathered around us on the couch and saw that Dad put Jelly on my stomach. His younger sister’s heartbeat voice made him laugh.
I should have felt happy in this precious moment, and I did, but that happiness was seen with anxiety.
When we came to know that we were expecting our fourth child, we were not immediately ecstasy. Instead, our views were: “We do not even have doctors. Where do we go?”
I called the Osthetrix doctor’s office, who took care of me during his previous pregnancy in 2022, hopefully I can return to him. In PEI, patients usually see their family doctor for most of their pregnancy until they are low risk, and A maternity is not transferred to a doctor’s care for about 34 weeksBut the doctor’s office explained that I would have to call the provincial patient registry – waiting list for those who are not a family doctor – and they will direct me.
I have given birth in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Pei, traveling to PEI permanently to live with my husband’s family to stay with my mother and brother. Generally, I will look at my family doctor to confirm pregnancy and the process will begin. But since the doctor of my family retired in PEI and I have no new, I spent the day instead, just tried to know who I had to call and where I had to go.
Like most of Canada, PEI has Lack of family doctorsIt is also officially official: PEI has a poor access to health care compared to any other province.
Above all, I struggle with severe ADHD and after years of searching, found a safe, non-eccentric formation and reliable drug, but I had to stop taking it when I came to know that I was pregnant due to the potential risks of a developing child.
My ADHD means that I have a difficult time to regulate feelings and process problems or deal with unexpected. My mental health declined rapidly without any doctor’s pregnant and helping to control my racing mind, while I waited for my first appointment.
My husband has been my yellow light – slowing me, so that I need a minute to keep an eye on important appointments and keep children busy. I do not know how I would have found without him, but he has a full -time job and nights work, so we could not maintain this setup for me longer without proper medicine and therapy.
A few weeks later, I got my first appointment with a family doctor for the patient’s registry. This first appointment was a spot – we checked the heartbeat, did some regular tests and I was sent for blood work. My blood pressure was a matter of concern but we started monitoring immediately from home.
I have three healthy boys, but have not always been easy pregnancies.
We lost our second boy with a placenta in about 20 weeks. He was born in 36 weeks, after several weeks of bed rest. We spent seven days in NICU, while they were treated for jaundice and some other previous issues. Our third son was another difficult pregnancy and another difficult birth.
I was afraid that this last pregnancy would also be difficult.
Between that first appointment and the second four weeks later, my blood pressure continued to deteriorate. I was without ADHD medicine and despite lining to see and see a doctor in the walk-in clinic, I never managed to get a slot.
By the time my second appointment rolled all around, I was an emotional debris and physically decreasing. I spent most of the appointment weeping.
The doctor classified me as a high risk for pre-eclampsia, tried a new ADHD medicine along with the drug for high blood pressure, and referred to me an OB, which I was told that I had more experience with high-risk pregnancies.
I was assigned to the same OB during my previous pregnancy that I saw. He found that properly, and I think anyone felt confident to be familiar with me to see me through this pregnancy.
Without a family doctor, it took longer to reach care and the process was Tricker to navigate compared to my previous pregnancies. While the situation is far from the ideal, the medical professionals I have seen, they have done their work well and can give the status of medical system on PEI as soon as possible.
I am confident that I am in good hands for the remaining part of this pregnancy, but now after our baby girl arrives in July, my anxiety turns into life, when we regularly go back without medical care, without a doctor, my ADHD and struggle to maintain medicines without a doctor – and now, with four young people who trust me.

What happens if I refuse a job while receiving unemployment benefits?
Asked 2 years ago
If you refuse a job while receiving unemployment benefits, it can have consequences on your eligibility. Each case is evaluated individually, but in general, refusing suitable employment without a valid reason can lead to a loss or reduction of your unemployment benefits. Suitable employment means positions that match your skills, experience, and pay reasonably well. Refusing such work can be considered a voluntary quit, which may disqualify you from receiving unemployment benefits. However, if the job offered is not suitable because it pays significantly less than your previous employment or requires working conditions inconsistent with state laws or safety standards, you may have valid reasons for refusal. It is crucial to report all job offers to the Delaware Department of Labor promptly and provide valid reasons for declining, ensuring you remain compliant with the unemployment benefits program.

There is no quicker way to increase your boat handling, knowledge of the rules and ability to work with a team than in match racing. This Grade 5+ event will start with a clinic on Saturday. We will have an organizational meeting at 1000 at 2 South Street and then head out to the water, where competitors will be coached on starting strategies, boat handling, and match racing rules. The day will end with a debrief and discussion with the coach. Sunday is race day! In an Oakcliff Grade 5+, we will attempt to race Saturday during the clinic, in addition to Sunday. If all requirements are met, we will apply for a Grade 4, thus giving more ranking points to our skippers. Our volunteer umpires will be watching as competitors apply the skills they learned from the clinic. Following racing, we will gather at 2 South Street for a debrief and discussion with fellow competitors, the umpires and the race committee. This is a critical element of the weekend, as it is where you can swap stories, practice your bar-karate, and reflect on what you learned to do (and what not to do!) Snacks and beverages may be available.

Explore the Rustic Village on the Island's West End
Catalina's Other Side
Located on Catalina’s west end, Two Harbors is a mere 22 miles from the Southern California mainland. This rustic village sits on a narrow strip of land that separates Isthmus Cove on the leeward side of the island from Catalina Harbor on the windward side. Guests visiting from the mainland typically arrive via high-speed ferry from San Pedro, although many sail on private boats and pick up one of more than 700 moorings available for rent in the many protected coves and harbors along the coast. Guests already on the island can travel down to Two Harbors for the day from Avalon on the seasonal Discover Two Harbors Cyclone power boat.
Accommodations in Two Harbors include historic Banning House Lodge, Villa Santa Cruz and Villa Santa Rosa, comfortable camping cabins, and four of the best campgrounds in all of California, each offering unique experiences that make Catalina’s west end the best end. Dining options include Harbor Reef Restaurant & Saloon, West End Galley, and the General Store, where guests can also pick up groceries and supplies. The friendly staff at Two Harbors Visitor Services can help you with transportation, check-in, equipment rental, permits, event information and any other needs you may have. The Harbor Department handles our mooring and Shoreboat operations, as well as the Fuel Dock.
Rich Colorful History
American Indians were first to inhabit the Two Harbors area, living off the sea and trading with Indians on the mainland. Spanish explorers, fur traders, and even pirates and smugglers followed. During the Civil War, members of the Union Army were stationed in Two Harbors and today their barracks remain. Many Hollywood movies were filmed in the Two Harbors area, so many in fact that it was once known as the Isthmus Movie Colony. The American Bison that wander about in the outlying areas were brought here for the filming of "The Vanishing American," a western based on Zane Grey’s novel of the same name. Unable to round up the small herd after production wrapped, crews left them to fend for themselves. At one point the herd grew to as many as six hundred bison. The Catalina Island Conservancy now monitors and maintains the herd at about 150.

title: Types of protection orders for domestic abuse

text:
To continue our discussion of the different types of protection orders available in Nebraska, a protection order for domestic abuse may well be the type of protection order that is most widely known to Omaha residents.
As its name implies, this type of order allows a judge to require a person to stay away from an alleged victim of domestic abuse and avoid contacting him or her. The judge may also order the target of the order to move out of his or her home if the alleged victim also lives there. The order may also require him or her not to go to certain locations, usually places where the alleged victim is likely to be, such as a place of employment.
The protection order will last for one year and is renewable. Should a person violate a protection order, then he or she may face criminal charges as well as civil consequences like a contempt of court proceeding.
As with the other types of protection orders, there are some limits on who can file one and for what reasons. For instance, these orders are reserved for victims of domestic abuse, which will usually require that the victim have some sort of familiar or romantic relationship with the alleged perpetrator.
Moreover, domestic abuse has a specific meaning, in that it must include actual physical violence or a credible threat thereof. It should be noted that even one threat is enough to sustain a protection order; one need not have engaged in repeated or ongoing behavior.
As with the other types of protection orders, a man in Omaha who gets served with this type of protection order should take the matter very seriously. In addition to restricting his freedom somewhat, a protection order may carry with it other long-term consequences.

VMware Introduces New Release of Its Powerful Desktop Virtualization Software
VMware Workstation 5.5 Features Support for 64-bit Guests for AMD64 Technology Systems and Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T) Systems with Intel Virtualization Technology (VT) and Two-Way Virtual SMP
PALO ALTO, Calif., September 12, 2005– VMware, Inc., the global leader in virtual infrastructure software for industry-standard systems, today announced that VMware Workstation 5.5, the newest feature-packed release of its award-winning desktop virtualization software, is available for beta download. With numerous new features and significant platform enhancements, Workstation 5.5 provides unmatched flexibility for developers and testers.
Millions today use VMware Workstation, first introduced six years ago, to accelerate software development, testing and deployment and increase product quality. With VMware Workstation, enterprises are able to create a library of virtual machines for 32-bit and 64-bit x86 operating systems, including Linux, NetWare, Solaris x86 and Windows, that replicate production environments. These virtual machines can then be rapidly provisioned, making it possible for developers and testers to spend more time developing and testing software and less time configuring the required environment.
Among the major new and enhanced features in VMware Workstation 5.5 are:
- 64-bit Guest Support for AMD64 Technology Systems and Intel EM64T Systems with VT Support: Building on the 64-bit host operating system support introduced in previous releases, VMware Workstation 5.5 delivers support for 64-bit FreeBSD, Linux and Windows guest operating systems and experimental support for 64-bit Solaris x86. This gives developers and testers the flexibility to run 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems simultaneously on the same hardware.
- Two-way Virtual SMP (experimental): VMware brings its server-class Virtual SMP to the desktop. Virtual SMP makes it possible for a single virtual machine to span two processors, enabling developers and testers to configure real-world production environments on developer-class desktops.
- Enhanced VMware Virtual Machine Importer: VMware Workstation 5.5 provides developers and testers with the additional flexibility to convert Symantec Ghost images into virtual machines or to open those images in their native format without any modification. Developers and testers can reuse their libraries of physical machine images when deploying or building a virtual infrastructure.
- Enhanced Command Line Interface: VMware Workstation 5.5 offers an enhanced vmrun interface to allow organizations to automate repetitive manual tasks. New vmrun features include the ability to take snapshots, list all snapshots for a virtual machine and revert to a selected snapshot.
Virtual machines created with VMware Workstation can be deployed to enterprise-class VMware GSX Server and data center-class VMware ESX Server platforms. Once deployed on GSX Server or ESX Server, VMware VirtualCenter can manage these virtual machines. This lets development teams more easily manage the software lifecycle process and seamlessly move computing environments from development to testing, and from staging to production.
"VMware Workstation 5.5 reaffirms VMware's commitment to providing our customers with the industry's broadest virtualization platform," said Karthik Rau, director of product management at VMware. "With new features like support for 64-bit guest operating systems and multi-CPU virtual machines, VMware Workstation 5.5 gives developers a powerful platform to accelerate the development, testing and support of their next-generation applications."
Pricing and Availability
The VMware Workstation 5.5 beta for both Windows and Linux host operating systems is available for download at www.vmware.com/products/beta/ws/. VMware Workstation 5.5 will be generally available by the end of the year.
The electronic download for Workstation 5 is $189 via the VMware Store (www.vmware.com/vmwarestore/); the boxed version available for $199. The product is also available from the VMware VIP Reseller Network and distribution partners ( www.vmware.com/partners/resellers/).
Registered customers who purchased VMware Workstation 5 are eligible for a free electronic download distribution update license to VMware Workstation 5.5 via the VMware Store (www.vmware.com/vmwarestore/) as soon as the update is generally available.
VMware Workstation is also available as part of VMTN Subscription which provides a powerful suite of VMware products, support and upgrades in a convenient, low-cost annual subscription of $299 per user. VMTN Subscription provides a consistent virtualization platform for development and test that is designed to increase the productivity and efficiency across the software development lifecycle, reduce cost and complexity and improve software quality. VMTN Subscription includes VMware Workstation for individual developer productivity, VMware GSX Server and a developer version of VMware ESX Server with Virtual SMP for team collaboration and VMware Physical to Virtual (P2V) Assistant for migrating physical systems to virtual machines.
A full-featured 30-day trial version of VMware Workstation 5 can be downloaded directly from the VMware Web site ( www.vmware.com).

title: Routine dental cleanings are essential

text:
Your smile is a valuable asset, especially when it is healthy. Routine dental cleanings play a pivotal role in maintaining its health and radiance. While daily brushing and flossing are also essential components of oral care, professional dental cleanings offer unique benefits that contribute to the longevity of your teeth and overall well-being. In this blog, your Prairie Village, KS dental team explores the importance of making routine dental cleanings a cornerstone of your oral health routine.
Prevention is Paramount
Routine cleanings are a proactive measure in preventing a myriad of dental issues. Professional dental hygienists can remove plaque and tartar buildup, which, if left untreated, can lead to cavities and gum disease. By addressing these issues early on, you can prevent the need for more extensive and costly dental procedures in the future. Dental cleanings also offer an opportunity for personalized guidance on your oral care routine. Dental professionals can provide tailored advice on brushing and flossing techniques, recommend suitable oral care products, and address any concerns or questions you may have about your dental health.
Defense Against Gum Disease
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a common but preventable condition. Professional cleanings help eliminate the bacteria responsible for gum inflammation and infection. Early detection and intervention during routine cleanings can halt the progression of gum disease, preventing tooth loss and preserving the health of your gums. Once gum disease progresses in your mouth, you may need a deep cleaning.
Early Detection of Serious Issues
Regular dental check-ups and cleanings provide an opportunity for your dentist to detect potential oral health issues in their early stages. From cavities to oral cancer, early diagnosis allows for more effective and less invasive treatment, ensuring a higher likelihood of successful outcomes and treatment. Oral health is interconnected with overall health. Conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory issues have been linked to poor oral health. Reducing the risk of infections and inflammation could have a positive impact your systemic health.
A Brighter Smile
Daily habits such as coffee consumption, smoking, or certain foods can contribute to staining on your teeth. Routine cleanings help remove surface stains, restoring the natural brightness of your smile. This not only enhances your appearance but also boosts your confidence and self-esteem.
When Was Your Last Dental Cleaning?
Beyond the polished feel and visual appeal, these appointments are fundamental in preventing, detecting, and addressing various oral health issues. By making regular cleanings a priority, you invest in the long-term health and beauty of your smile. If you have not had two routine cleanings this year, it may be time to call your Prairie Village, KS dentist’s office today at (913)901-8585 to schedule an appointment.


title: Tools to help non filers receive economic impact payments

text:
The IRS provided tools for tax practitioners who can use them to reach out and contact to taxpayers who don’t normally file their tax returns and are qualified to get economic impact payments due to current COVID-19 crises. The IRS announced that such individuals will soon get economic impact payments whose payments were diverted to pay their spouse’s past due child support.
Eligible individuals can receive an economic impact payment (or recovery rebate) of up to $1,200 for individuals or $2,400 for married couples and parents can also get $500 for each qualified child under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, P.L. 116-136. However individuals who are eligible but did not filed their tax return for 2018 or 2019 may have not received a payment.
The IRS has created e-posters, ready-to-use articles, a toolkit, and other resources that can be downloaded and shared, to help tax practitioners to reach such individuals and aware them about their eligibility to receive payments. The goal is to inform qualified individuals that they can go to the IRS’s Non-Filers tools until Oct 15, 2020.
The IRS also announced that it will shortly send economic impact payments to those approximately 50,000 individuals, whose portion of the payment was redirected to pay their spouse’s past-due child support. The IRS expects to send these payments by mid of September. The IRS will be mailing checks to any qualified spouse who filed Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation, with his/ her 2019 tax return, or in some scenarios, his/ her 2018 tax return. The spouses who are eligible for such payments but did not file Form 8379 will also receive a payment, but IRS is currently uncertain when these payments will be issued.

My issue with calculated grades and CAO offers
Jessica talks about the competition for CAO offers and the disadvantages some students face
An Open Letter to Ministers Norma Foley and Simon Harris
I am a member of the Leaving Certificate class of 2019 and I write to you to express my frustration as a result of the Calculated Grades system. I had hoped to study medicine in 2019 but did not receive enough points to gain entry. Therefore I opted to repeat the HPAT in hopes that my Leaving would carry through and I could secure a place in 2020. What transpired however, was completely unexpected. Although I believe the decision to opt for calculated grades was understandable, I don’t think your way of arranging them was in any way acceptable or fair.
Not a level playing field
The Leaving Certificate has never been without its flaws. Students every year narrowly miss out on their first choice on the CAO and this year was no different. Personally, after receiving a good HPAT score, I missed out due to random selection in the end. This was heartbreaking to know that even with hard work, a lottery ultimately decided my future.
However, the problem was that it wasn’t a level playing field. I wasn’t competing with my equals. I was attempting to get into a high-demand course against competitors with grades that are on average 4.4% stronger than my own. There was absolutely no way I stood a chance among them. The class of 2019 and years before, have had our futures compromised with no regard from your government. I understand that we’re a minority but our merits should not be discounted because we didn’t get to receive calculated grades.
Every year points vary depending on the demand of the course. It can be argued that choosing to reapply this year always included risks. This year however no one could have predicted what happened. The points increased significantly among most courses, with many courses using random selection to decide who got to enter.
This is not usual. It is not usual that courses where candidates who got an almost perfect Leaving Cert, were not guaranteed entry, such as Dentistry in UCC which soared to 613 points and still went to random selection. How could any of us applying from previous years ever stand to compete against a cohort which presented grades much stronger than ours?
Difficult to move on from this
It is easy for those who did not know anyone applying to college or further education this year to say that missing out on a college place isn’t the end of the world, but how can we move on knowing that we were not treated fairly and that as a result, some of us aren’t able to advance to the careers we have dreamed of. It is easy to dismiss us and say try again next year, but my message to you Ministers is that we shouldn’t have to. We should not have been pushed aside and forgotten about. The system was allegedly designed to be fair but this year only highlighted the true fragility and ruthlessness of the Leaving Certificate.
To anyone reading this, please remember even though you may have moved on with your lives, we most certainly haven’t. Now for some of us, we have been forced to try again next year against a backdrop of uncertainty or have opted for another course. We should not have had to do this. The government should have put in place a method of ensuring equality to candidates from previous years and although it may seem too late now, it is not too late for the government to rectify their mistake and give us justice.

title: Agenda fin de semana 9 de junio propuestas culturales en barcelona galicia madrid y valencia

text:
This Saturday 10th June, from 22:00 the Real Jardín Botánico en Madrid will be transformed into an exhibition space with the light shows and photographic mapping at ‘En la noche. Proyecciones al aire libre’ which form part of the photography festival PHotoEspaña.
In Valencia, IVAM is adding extra dates to the exhibition ‘Perdidos en la ciudad’, which can now be visited until June 18. The exhibition is comprised of 300 works (paintings, sculptures, photographs and artists’ videos) which reflect human experiences in different cities in the world.
Another one of our cultural recommendations for this weekend are located in Barcelona and Galicia.
The exhibition ‘Da árbore á cadeira’ divided into four themes: design, industry, natural heritage and art, with which it relates property design and the industrialisation process of the timber sector and Galician furniture with the natural environment where the raw materials are extracted: the forest. You can visit this exhibition at the Centro Gaiás museum in Cidade da Cultura in Galicia.
-The exhibition ‘Fenónemo Fotolibro’ at Fundación Foto Colectania, showcases contemporary visual culture through the role of photobooks and printed photography, with examples spanning several decades, from Ródchencko, William Klein and Robert Frank to those by Laia Abril or Vivian Sassen.
-Lastly, the new installation at Espai 13 at the Joan Miró Foundation with the artist Adrià Julià and ‘Hot Iron’, a project which is based on the photographic archive of Catalan Romanesque churches, which had not been published until now, thanks to Ramon Julià Alemany who catalogued up to 556 churches between the 50’s and the 90’s. This exhibition invites us to reflect on the effects of the collective thinking of economic relationships regarding cultural imports and exports.


title: Uk s oldest tennis court contractor

text:
In 1947 George VI was on the throne and Clement Attlee was Prime Minister; Charlton Athletic won the FA Cup and Americans Jack Kramer and Margaret Osborne won the Men's and Women's Singles Titles, and Grimshaw Kinnear Ltd was formed.
The origins of Grimshaw Kinnear Limited, now trading as Grimshaw Group, go back to the 1930’s with John Grimshaw starting as a bulldozer owner-driver. Then in 1947 it was incorporated as a limited company with offices in Cheltenham’s famous Promenade.
The company built it's first two tennis courts in 1948 for Cheltenham College. Now with over 70 years’ experience in the construction of sports and play facilities and tennis courts in particular, and still in the same family ownership, the company is the oldest established tennis court constructor in the UK.
The Lawn Tennis Association recognised the company’s skills and abilities as one of the country's foremost court constructors when it was just one of six companies invited to form the Tennis Court Constructors Federation of Great Britain under LTA sponsorship in 1986.
The TCCF has since developed to become SAPCA (Sports and Play Construction Association) which now represents most forms of sports and play construction in the UK.
The company is still proud to be an active member of SAPCA and as such is bound by its codes of practice and construction requirements. Hence all the company’s systems conform with or exceed the SAPCA guideline specification requirements.
As a former finalist in the prestigious Contract Journal - UK Contractor of the Year Awards and winner of the Gloucestershire Business Awards for workforce development the company is proud of its traditional family business approach to trading and has an enviable record in developing long term trading relationships with customers, many measured in decades with traditionally some 75%-80% of turnover being repeat business.
The same family values have also created a loyal, dedicated, and skilled directly employed work force. Continuous long service is a well-established part of Grimshaw Group with many employees having 25, 30, 40 and even 55 years’ continuous service.
We deliberately limit the radius of our operation to within 45 miles of Cheltenham to ensure that we can maintain our traditional personal family business service, and as the “local” tennis court constructor being able to offer a full after sales and maintenance service.
In 2007 the company diversified to include on-line selling of sports equipment from leading UK manufacturers for most major sports at www.grimshawsports.co.uk and now this successful division sells equipment not only throughout the UK and Europe but to destinations as diverse as Afghanistan, Senegal and British Columbia.

Boat and Marine Batteries
Get Ready for Boating Season with Interstate® Marine Batteries
As the sun shines on the water and boats set sail, the right battery can make or break your perfect day on the waves. Whether you’re a seasoned mariner or a weekend adventurer, understanding how boat and marine batteries work and which one to choose for your watercraft and recreational vehicles, is essential for a successful outing.
Interstate delivers the preferred brand of high-quality batteries to power your boat's navigation devices, lights and engine. Whether you need a deep-cycle marine battery, trolling motor battery, starting battery or both, we have you covered with our lineup of high-quality products built to withstand the harsh conditions of the open water, including vibration and moisture. Get the durability and longevity you want when the water calls with Interstate.
Let us help you find the right battery for your marine application.Explore Interstate Marine Batteries
When you're out on the water, you need a reliable power source. Marine batteries are designed for this purpose, powering everything from the engine to your boat's electronics. When it comes to reliable marine power, Interstate has the marine battery you need:
From starting engines to powering gadgets, our battery lineup ensures that your boat stays ready for the water.Types of Marine Batteries
Starting Marine Batteries
Marine starting batteries (or cranking batteries) are just like the battery you have in your car. Their purpose is to give a burst of power to your engine when you start your boat. Once the engine starts, the alternator takes over to provide power and recharge the battery.
Starting batteries are perfect for getting your boat going and are built to tackle the severe conditions out on the water. Still, they cannot handle continuous or frequent deep discharge/recharge cycles. Therefore, they should not be used for trolling motors or powering accessories. Draining a starting marine battery can shorten its lifespan.
Whether sailing the ocean or ripping it up in a motorboat, Interstate has a wide selection of powerful marine starting batteries built to withstand the most rugged marine conditions. Our marine starting batteries come with a 12-month free replacement warranty.
Deep-Cycle Marine Batteries
Need power for long trips? Marine deep-cycle batteries are perfect for powering your trolling motor and other accessories for extended periods. For longest time on the water, check out our lithium marine batteries. These lightweight batteries can hold a charge for years without maintenance and recharge 3X faster than lead-acid batteries. They deliver consistent performance with each charge and last 10 times longer than AGM batteries.
Deep-cycle batteries are perfect for extended use because they can be drained and recharged many times over. They’re ideal for powering your boat and all its accessories, whether your engine is running or not. Whether you're running electrical power to onboard accessories or just taking your recreational vehicle out on the water, these batteries deliver the juice you need over extended periods. Our marine deep-cycle batteries are the most popular line of marine batteries and offer robust and reliable power.
Dual-Purpose Marine Batteries
For smaller boats with limited space, marine dual-purpose batteries offer the best of both worlds. A dual-purpose marine battery offers you all the cranking power of a traditional starting battery plus the continuous discharge of a deep-cycle battery. It is ideal for compact settings on smaller vessels that lack room in the battery compartment for two separate batteries, without skimping on power.
Initially developed for military tanks and submarines, our marine absorbed glass-mat (AGM) battery with Pure Matrix power packs the staying power of our best deep-cycle battery with the high-cranking performance your boat needs. With pure, non-alloy lead and the most efficient plate design in the industry, this battery puts the most advanced technology on your side. With faster recharging and two times the overall life of a flooded deep-cycle battery, the Pure Matrix AGM stays ready for all your fishing weekends.
We are so confident in our Interstate marine Pure Matrix AGM battery that we back it with a three-year free replacement warranty.
Personal Watercraft & Jet ski Batteries
Personal watercraft batteries are built tough to handle the rigors of the marine environment. Their robust construction fights against wave-induced vibes and shocks that could harm normal batteries, ensuring a long-lasting power supply for your water adventures. Interstate has a wide selection of batteries compatible with almost any recreational watercraft. Our main types of batteries for powersports and jet skis include:
- Factory-activated AGM powersports battery: Our factory-activated AGM batteries are ideal for all sorts of personal watercraft. Easy to install, these batteries come fully charged, sealed and ready to use. Because there's no risk of leakage, these batteries can be mounted at almost any angle. Plus, there's no need to check the water levels. Just plug and play!
- AGM powersports battery: Our AGM powersports batteries feature firmly sealed battery housings, acid packs and spill-proof technology for safer use. Once activated, these batteries can be mounted at almost any angle without spilling and are vibration resistant. Plus, they're maintenance-free, meaning you don't have to check or refill the water levels.
M-Line Marine Batteries
When it comes to affordable power on the water, the Interstate Batteries M-Line is sure to have the right marine battery for you. These marine batteries deliver the affordable reliable power you'd expect from Interstate. And they're backed by the quality and service you've grown to love all at a price you can enjoy.
Get the right power and right price with M-Line marine starting and deep-cycle batteries. M-Line batteries are available at select Interstate dealers.
Ask your local dealer about Interstate marine batteries today. Let them help you find the correct battery for your boat or watercraft.
Trust Interstate for the Reliable Marine Battery Advice
Marine batteries, unlike basic types of automotive batteries, are crafted to withstand harsh marine conditions. They endure the jolts and vibration from waves, ensuring performance where car batteries might fail. Because of this robust design, marine batteries often cost more than car batteries. Their job is not just to start an engine; they provide ongoing power to various onboard systems, making them indispensable for any seafarer.
The battery life of a marine battery depends on the type and maintenance. Lithium marine batteries stand out, lasting up to 10 years and offering around 3,000 life cycles. This is significantly longer compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. With proper care, a marine battery can serve you efficiently for many years, making your investment worthwhile. Recharge your lithium battery with the correct charger and consider investing in a boat battery maintainer to extend your lead-acid battery service life.
Choosing the right battery size and type involves understanding your marine applications and needs. Marine starting batteries are perfect for giving quick bursts of energy to start engines. Deep-cycle batteries excel at providing sustained power for appliances over extended periods. If you need versatility, dual-purpose marine batteries combine both starting and deep-cycle functions, offering a dual service for your boat's needs.

HP Touchpad Device Adaptation for Mer
In order to boot Mer on the HP touchpad we create a new LVM under webos named /dev/store/meego and unpack one of armv7hl images in it.
The WebOS kernel is a 2.6.35 with some patches. It's all available from palm here.
The default kernel configuration will boot Meego but won't get you very far as it's lacking some essential elements for systemd :
- cgroupfs support
- accept4 support
- 'active' sysfs attribute for tty0 and console device
A kernel with all the patches applied is available here
To compile the kernel for the touchpad you should have an arm cross compiler environnement set up and use the following comamnds :
At this point you have to edit your .config, and change the CONFIG_CMDLINE option to match your touchpad : if you have the 3G version your boardtype must be 'topaz-3G-pvt' if it's a wifi version use 'topaz-Wifi-pvt' in order to be sure whate boardtype you need you can issue a dmesg in WebOS and check the kernel command line
make CONFIG_NO_ERROR_ON_MISMATCH=y uImage
In order to boot from an LVM volume we need an initramfs. I created a very basic one that just mounts the partition and then switches to it.
You can find the initramfs source here
Creating the boot image
The touchpad bootloader can directly boot an image if it's properly formatted. The image needs to be a multi-image uimage containing a kernel uimage and an initramfs uimage. To create such an image here are the steps :
- Create a gzipped cpio initramfs image
cd initramfs find . -print0 | cpio --null -ov --format=newc | gzip -9 > ../initramfs.cpio.gz cd ..
- Create the uimage for the initramfs
mkimage -A arm -O Linux -T ramdisk -n 'Meego boot initrd' -C none -e 0 -a 0 -d initramfs.cpio.gz initramfs.uImage
- Combine both images into one uImage
mkimage -A arm -O Linux -T multi -n 'Meego boot' -C none -e 0 -a 0 -d linux-2.6.35/arch/arm/boot/uImage:initramfs.uImage meego.uImage
Now you can boot this image using novacom (downloadable here) To boot using nvacom first shutdown the touchpad, then plug the usb cable to your computer and the touchpad while holding the volume up button. You should see the USB logo on the touchpad. Now you can issue the following command :
novacom boot mem:// < meego.uImage
Creating an image
Here are the steps to create your own Mer image for the touchpad
Creating a bootstrap
Issue the following command in the directory where you want to build your image :
sudo mic-create-bootstrap -n trunk -k ./cache -r http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/trunk/latest/repos/oss/ia32/packages/ -o ./bootstrap
Creating the image
Get the kickstart file of your choice from https://gitorious.org/mertp/kickstarts
Now issue this command to build the image :
sudo mic-image-creator --bootstrap=./bootstrap --format=fs --compress-disk-image=tar.bz2 --config=<your_kickstart_file> -a armv7hl --ignore-siteconf --pkgmgr=yum --cache=./cache
It will build your image

title: Pupil loans for bad credit score 2

text:
Even if you have bad credit score you could get a Capital One bank card, which may also help construct your credit rating. OneMain is a nicely-established lender particularly focusing on individuals with dangerous credit. When you’ve got bad credit score and want a graduate pupil mortgage, finding someone with good credit and having them comply with co-signal the loan with you will assist your cause.
To compensate themselves for that threat, lenders charge larger interest rates (the price of borrowing money) to borrowers with bad credit. If you happen to’re unable to repay the extraordinarily high-interest loan by the due date (most borrowers aren’t), the payday lender will cash your examine.
Imagine it or not, there isn’t any minimal credit score, but even if you happen to meet the basic qualifications, it does not imply you’ll automatically be authorised for a loan. The 2 largest things to look at with an online lender (especially those who brand themselves as bad credit loans) are transparency and safety.
If they do, you should utilize that installment loan to resolve your quick-term downside and develop your credit score over the long run. Certain want-primarily based loans, reminiscent of backed Direct loans and Perkins Loans have extraordinarily low interest rates, and are also subsidized, which means the federal government pays the curiosity that accrues on the mortgage while the coed is in class.
Bear in mind, probably the most efficient methods for positively managing your credit score is making consistent, on-time funds and retaining your stability as low as possible. Both installment lenders and bank lenders require only a 580 credit score score, though with a financial institution mortgage you will want no less than $3,000 in income.

title: The benefits of having a service contract for your hvac equipment

text:
We’ve written before on our blog about how important it is to arrange for annual maintenance to inspect, clean, adjust, and generally service your home’s air conditioning and heating systems. You can call up a professional HVAC company twice a year (once in spring for the AC and then again in fall for the heater) to schedule this routine maintenance. However, a better approach is to sign up for a service contract, such as the Proactive Service Agreement that we offer.
Why is getting a service contract a good idea? Here are some of the reasons:
You don’t have to worry about remembering to schedule maintenance twice a year, or getting behind on arranging for it in time to beat out the cold or hot weather. Our technicians will call you whenever you are due for service as a reminder. Just leave everything to us.
Jump to the front of the service queue
A service contract makes you a priority customer, so you get to skip to the front of the service queue in the future whenever your equipment needs repairs and needs them fast. (Remember, we already offer 24-hour emergency service.)
Keeping up with maintenance in general will save you money by preventing repairs and keeping the AC and heater running at their maximum efficiency. But most service contracts also offer you improved rates compared to paying as you go. Ask us about the excellent offer we’re making right now on a 2-year agreement.
Along with the vital maintenance visits, most service contracts offer other special perks for members. Our Proactive Service Agreement comes with a 20% discount on all parts, a 5% discount on equipment, a discounted rate on diagnostics.
Ready to sign our Proactive Service Agreement and enjoy all of its benefits? You only need to give Hall’s Heating, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration in Shreveport, LA a call.


title: Battery available capacity

text:
The battery available capacity refers to the entire maximum charge, measured in ampere hours, that a cell or battery can hold under a certain set of operating conditions, such as discharge rate, temperature, initial state of charge, age, and cut-off voltage.
Battery capacity is measured in ampere hours and is defined as the total quantity of electricity produced by electrochemical reactions inside the battery. For instance, a 5 Ah battery can be discharged at a steady rate of 1 C (5 A) for one hour.
A discharge current of 0.1 C (500 mA) can be extracted from the battery for 10 hours using the same battery. Cells of varying capacities with the same C ratio value behave similarly for a given cell type. The capacity of a battery refers to the amount of energy it can store and release during the discharge process. The letters “Ah” stand for “ampere hour,” which is the unit of capacity. The term “rated capacity” refers to the battery’s label value.
What determines Battery Capacity?
The amount of active material in a battery determines its “battery capacity,” which is a measurement of the charge it can store (usually expressed in Amp-hr). The battery capacity is an indicator of how much energy, at its maximum, can be drawn from the battery under a certain set of circumstances. The battery’s real energy storage capacity, however, might differ dramatically from its “nominal” quoted capacity since it is greatly influenced by the battery’s age, its prior history, how it is charged or discharged, and the ambient temperature.
Watt-hours (Wh), kilowatt-hours (kWh), or ampere-hours are units used to measure the amount of energy that a battery can store (Ahr). The most popular way to measure battery capacity is Ah, which is the amount of time in hours that a battery can supply a current that is equal to the rate of discharge at the battery’s nominal voltage.
Also Read: How to Connect 3 Solar Panels in parallel?
How Watt-hour (Wh) is calculated?
When working with battery systems, the unit of Ah is frequently employed because the battery voltage varies during the charging or discharging cycle. By multiplying the AH capacity by the nominal (or time average, if known) battery voltage, the Wh capacity can be roughly calculated from the Ahr capacity.
By integrating the AH capacity x V(t) across the course of the charging cycle, a more precise method accounts for voltage variance. For instance, a 12 volt battery with a 500 Ah capacity enables the storage of 1,200 Wh, or 1.2 kWh, of energy, or about 100 Ah x 12 V. However, due to the significant impact of charging rates or temperatures, battery manufacturers also supply additional information on the variance of battery capacity for practical or correct analysis.

title: Breast cancer survivor linda washington launches platform to support fellow survivors

text:
Linda Washington has transformed her breast cancer battle into a mission of empowerment, developing resources to help survivors reclaim their identities beyond their diagnosis.
The Springfield, Massachusetts native’s journey took an unexpected turn when she received her breast cancer diagnosis. “At first, I felt the shock and uncertainty that comes with such terrible discoveries,” Washington recounts of that pivotal moment. After surviving the physical battle, she encountered a different kind of struggle – social isolation and stigma that left her feeling, in her words, “broken and belittled.”
These post-recovery challenges sparked Washington’s determination to ensure other survivors wouldn’t face similar isolation. “I wanted to help other survivors not go through what I did and to show them they were not alone in their fight,” she explains of her motivation behind Strength of Survivors, her multi-faceted support initiative.
The experience awakened Washington’s creative pursuits as well. “I uncovered my passion for music during my fight against breast cancer,” she says. This newfound artistic expression resulted in her single “Forever” featuring Superstar Lamar, which complements her book “Broken Pieces” – both created to resonate with fellow survivors navigating life after cancer.
Washington carries both personal experience and professional knowledge to her advocacy work, having earned a nursing degree despite the challenges of her health journey. Her message to fellow survivors remains consistent: “Cancer was the disease, not them,” encouraging others to maintain their sense of self-worth and remain open to connection.
“I find inspiration in what I have been through—all the good and bad that have been around me, serving as life lessons,” Washington reflects. Her perspective on finding meaning in difficult experiences informs her approach to supporting others.
Her expanding platform now includes “The Linda Washington Show,” a talk show airing Fridays at 1 PM on the Bold Brave TV network. The program addresses the emotional aftermath of cancer treatment, tackling feelings of being “forgotten, overlooked, rejected, broken, exhausted, and scared” that many survivors experience.
Washington’s work has gained recognition in Forbes, GQ, and New York Weekly, bringing greater visibility to survivorship issues often overlooked in cancer narratives that focus primarily on treatment rather than long-term recovery.
Her message to survivors emphasizes community over isolation. Through her website and Instagram presence (@Linlw200357), Washington continues building connections among survivors, reinforcing her core belief that no one facing cancer’s aftermath should feel alone.
“My main goal is to show all survivors that they are not alone out there,” Washington states simply, capturing the essence of her mission to transform individual survival stories into a collective narrative of resilience and mutual support.

McLennan named acting head of investments at Teachers' as Hindo leaves after 23 years
Effective immediately, Stephen McLennan has been appointed acting head of investments at Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board. The statement comes after Ziad Hindo, current chief investment officer (CIO) announced he will be leaving the organization as of December 31, 2023.
Hindo has been with Teachers’ for 23 years and has held progressively more senior roles spanning multiple asset classes and served the last five years as CIO.
“I would like to thank Ziad for his many contributions in his 23 years at Ontario Teachers’,” says Jo Taylor, chief executive officer. “Through his leadership, Ziad has built an outstanding investments team, diversified the portfolio by sector and geography, and led the development of the investment strategy that has delivered strong returns for members for over two decades. He has also played a critical role in establishing our multifaceted climate strategy and as an active advocate for action on diversity, equity and inclusion, both internally and through engagement with our portfolio companies.”
Hindo says, “It has been a privilege to lead the investments division as CIO over the past five years and to be part of the plan for over two decades. I could not have imagined when I joined Ontario Teachers’ that it would have provided the level of camaraderie, compelling opportunities, and professional growth and development that would have me here for 23 years. I am proud of the performance we have delivered in service of our members, and I am confident the plan is well positioned for continued success over the long term.”
McLennan, previously executive managing director, total fund management, will now provide leadership across Ontario Teachers’ investments activities as acting head of investments.
He joined Teachers' in 2003 and has since held positions of increasing responsibility in both capital market and private asset related groups. Most recently he has led the total fund management department, which integrates Teachers' portfolio construction approach with its treasury and funding capabilities. He also serves on the board of Cadillac Fairview, Teachers’ wholly owned real estate subsidiary.
McLennan and Hindo will work closely together to manage a smooth transition of investment division leadership responsibilities over the coming weeks, after which Ziad will primarily focus on serving as an advisor to Jo Taylor. Hindo will also continue to be a board member of Cadillac Fairview.

Technology as a Homework Helper
With technology at the everyone’s disposal, especially kids, we see more and more students using it for their homework. Student surveyed shows almost third are using a tablet for it, while 65% are using a laptop for homework.
To make it even more challenging, 39% of 14 year old reported using a smartphone to complete their homework, 42% of 6th graders used them, while 57% of 8th graders did the same (based on a study from Teen Research Unlimited, done for the Verizon Foundation found).
There are great benefits for technology with doing homework
Many schools have an interface or learning management system, like Edmodo, in place that allows parents to view homework assignments and their own child’s progress. For parent of an organizational challenged child, it’s the dream come true.
For the child, the ability to finish and submit homework electronically, lower the chances of forgetting to submit or lose homework sheets.
Having the option to rely on technology make scheduling easier. With tools like google calendar, and other calendar apps, a 7th grader can have all assignment in the calendar. And Google can remind him or her to study for a test. It can also show the list of project scheduled for the following week, making it easier to plan ahead.
Plus, teachers are more accessible as many are on social media for the students to contact them and ask questions.
When getting down to do homework
In a study conducted by Dr. Larry Rosen, a psychology professor at California State University – Dominguez Hills, surveyed high school students and asked them how often they switch from studying to doing something related to technology such as checking email, social media, texting, or even watching TV. Across all grade levels, 80% of students reported that they switch between studying and technology somewhat often to very often. Rosen calls this “Continuous Partial Attention”, meaning that most of the time, students are not focused on studying but rather are moving their attention back and forth between studying and various forms of technology.
Rosen explains, “Young people’s technology use is really about quelling anxiety…they don’t want to miss out or to be the last person to hear some news (or like or comment about a post online).” One of the major problems with texting and posting on social media sites while in class and/or studying, is that “they draw on the same mental resources—using language, parsing meaning—demanded by schoolwork.” Ultimately, he concludes, if we want students to learn and perform at their best, smart phones and other online distractions must be managed.
This, as you might expect, affected their grades, and quality of work. Students who were less distracted had higher GPAs than students who switched back and forth often and those who regularly check Facebook or text messages. Students who had strategies for studying also had higher GPAs per Rosen’s findings.
Teach him or her to take technology breaks to separate doing homework from using technology.
Use parental control tools to block their usage off their devices when it’s time for homework.
