Use AI to generate cell explanations
Use the new Explain cell feature to get an explanation of the underlying values that contribute to a specific cell value. Cell values can be a result of complex calculations, several consolidations, or rules. The Explain cell feature uses generative AI to summarize the cell intersection, underlying logic of the cell value, and source type.
To get a cell explanation, right-click a cell in a cube view. Select Explain cell [AI] to generate the explanation.
The generated explanation includes a table, with the following columns, and an AI-generated summary:
- Cell identifies the original cell by its coordinates in the cube, by using a comma-separated list of member names. If there are members that contribute to the original value, you can drill down to view those members, their values, and source.
- Displays the value of the original cell or member that contributes to the value of the original cell. If the value is over 10,000, the value that is displayed is truncated to an integer, otherwise the value shows two decimal places. You can hover over the displayed value to view the actual raw value as it exists in the TM1 database. To view the actual values for all data, enable Display unrounded values.
- Identifies the source of the value: Consolidation, Input (a leaf cell that is not rule calculated), or rule. If the source is a rule, the entire rule is displayed. If the rule is too long to appear in its entirety within the confines of the column, click Expand row to reveal the full rule. You can also click the AI icon in each source row to generate an explanation for that specific cell.
The Explain cell feature uses granite-3-8b-instruct from the Granite family of IBM foundation models to generate a descriptive summarization of the cell intersections.
After you generate a cell explanation, you can add the summary to the related cell as a comment.

Gum Bleaching in Phoenix, AZ
Gum depigmentation, gum bleaching, or gum whitening is a cosmetic procedure that improves the look of your gums to make them pinker and healthier looking.
You may have heard of teeth whitening, but have you heard of gum whitening, gum depigmentation, or gum bleaching? It sounds the same as teeth whitening but it’s very different. Patients might choose gum whitening if they have discoloration of their gums (dark patches), which they feel affects the aesthetics of their smile. Pigmentation on your gums doesn’t affect the health of your teeth or gums, but you might feel that it’s not the look that you want.
If you want to have pink gums that don’t have darker coloration, gum whitening is a safe and effective procedure with great resutls. It lightens the gums using a relatively quick process that produces permanent results.
Gum depigmentation/bleaching is a cosmetic procedure that has fantastic results in only one short visit to improve the look of your gums.
What Is Gum Bleaching (Gum Depigmentation/Whitening)?
Gum whitening or gingival (gum) depigmentation is a cosmetic dental treatment that is designed to lighten dark spots on your gums. It targets dark and black spots to remove melanin, or the dark pigmentation, and make the gums a uniform shade of pink. Gum whitening or depigmentation can be carried out using a whitening solution and microdermabrasion or using the more modern method of laser treatment.
The laser treatment is fast and effective. The laser carefully removes the dark patches of your gum tissue creating a lighter look that lasts.
When the periodontist uses the microdermabrasion method, he applies a gel first and the cells containing more melanin are then gently buffed away. Both types of treatment are safe but but the laser treatment is most effective.
Why Might You Have Dark Gums?
Dark spots on your gums can appear for a number of reasons. Gums can become discolored due to poor oral health, particularly over a longer period of time. Personal habits such as smoking or chewing tobacco can also have an effect on the color of your gums. Smoking can also raise your risk of developing gum disease. Some people can find that they develop pigmentation on their gums due to certain medications that they take. Another factor is ethnicity, with people with darker skin are more likely to have darker spots on their gums.
Start your day
with a beautiful
What Are the Advantages and Disadvantages?
Gum whitening or gum bleaching may offer you some advantages if you want to improve the look of your smile. However, there are also some disadvantages and some things that might make you unsuitable for the treatment. Gum whitening can give you the pink gums that you want so that you can enjoy your smile more if you don’t currently like the way it looks. However, it’s also important to remember that it’s a purely cosmetic procedure.
Is Gum Depigmentation Right for You?
Gum whitening is not suitable for a number of patients. Those who have discoloration of their gums due to periodontal disease do not have a surface pigment problem and need to have the disease treated. If you have thin gums or prominent tooth roots, gum whitening is not suitable because it can cause ongoing sensitivity. It’s essential to have healthy gums before undergoing a gum whitening procedure. Schedule an appointment with us for an exam and consultation today.

title: Entry level recruiting

text:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Aug. 1, 2019 (Toronto, Canada). TalentEgg is pleased to announce Canada’s first talent marketplace featuring video-based features allowing candidates to introduce themselves beyond the resume and get noticed by employers. The platform helps Gen Y & Z candidates to tell their story in their own words by providing convenient, easy to use functionality that allows them to record their video introduction, upload their resume, and respond to interview requests from employers, from any device, on their schedule. With the TalentEgg Candidate Video Showcase, recruiters and employers now have the ability to search the job seekers’ video profiles with resumes and invite them to a video interview directly from the profile.
Video interviewing is now a mainstream assessment method in recruitment and student and grad job seekers are practicing and developing their digital interviewing skills while at University and College. Now they have an opportunity to put those skills to work in the real world and on their own terms on a platform where they can control their own message. The TalentEgg Candidate Video Showcase offers the candidate the ability to upload their resume and record a video introduction directly into their personal candidate profile. They can include a descriptive paragraph about themselves and credentials which are displayed to the employer and is searchable based on location, school, year of graduation, program of study and preferred industries, or by relevant keywords.
“Employers are looking for more efficient methods to recruit and interview graduates and improve campus recruiting efficiency. Students and grads are looking for new ways to get noticed by employers outside of traditional methods. Schools are looking for more ways to help their students and grads make the transition from school to work effectively by showcasing great candidates to employers of choice,” says Mary Barroll, President of TalentEgg. “TalentEgg’s Candidate Video Showcase brings all of these features and capabilities together at one digital job marketplace destination. We believe it’s a real win-win-win and an exceptional opportunity for schools, employers and job seekers alike, and a gamechanger in the campus recruitment space.”
“The resume is no longer an adequate tool for representing the potential that candidates can bring to the workplace. Job seekers are increasingly frustrated with their inability to differentiate themselves in their job search. They are eager to share more about themselves by answering questions and sharing other aspects of their character that, in the case of students and graduates, can supplement their sometimes limited work history,” says Catharine Fennell, CEO, videoBIO. “We are pleased to provide the video technology to support TalentEgg’s job marketplace to advance connections between employers and job seekers.”

title: Castle cooke strikes deal on proposed molokai wind project hawaii news staradvertiser com

text:
Castle & Cooke said it has transfered a portion of its wind development authority to a mainland company that is proposing to build a large-scale wind energy project on Molokai.
The agreement would allow Pattern Energy Group to develop up to 200 megawatts of wind power on Molokai in tandem with 200 megawatts Castle & Cooke is proposing for Lanai. Under the plan wind energy from both projects would be transmitted to Oahu via an undersea cable.
Castle & Cooke initially received approval to develop a full 400 megawatts of wind power on Lanai alone. The agreement was later amended to split the 400 megawatts evenly between Lanai and Molokai. Under that deal Castle & Cooke was to develop 200 megawatts on Lanai with Boston-based First Wind LLC pursuing 200 megawatts on Molokai.
However, First Wind was unable to reach an agreement with landowner Molokai Ranch to buy or lease land for its project. First Wind also missed a deadline set by the Public Utilities Commission to advance its proposal. That opened the door for San Francisco-based Pattern to pursue the Molokai part of the so-called “Big Wind” project.
Pattern said it has been identified by Molokai Ranch as the preferred developer should the project move forward. The project has met with community opposition on Molokai.
Castle & Cooke said the agreement announced over the weekend would allow it to allocate to Pattern a part of the authority it received in 2008 to develop 400 megawatts of wind energy and sell it to Hawaiian Electric Co.
“Ultimately our goal is to find a solution that serves the best long-term interests of all of the residents of the state of Hawaii and helps the state achieve its clean energy goals,” said Harry Saunders, president of Castle & Cooke Hawaii.
“We are very pleased that we will be able to work with one of he leading wind energy producers in the world to help reduce Hawaii’s dependence on foreign oil,” he said.

Human rights defenders (HRDs) in Poland work for the protection and promotion of variety specific issues of political, civil, economic, social and cultural rights. However, the most problematic issues are the following: police misconduct, corruption, inefficiency and lack of the independence of the judiciary, laws that restrict freedom of speech and assembly, violations of workers' rights, discrimination against women, societal discrimination and violence against ethnic minorities, gays, lesbians, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI).
Although Poland is one of the 127 UN member states who voted for the adoption of the resolution on the protection of the HRDs during the 70th UN General Assembly, the state’s constitutional guarantees for respect of international human rights law, as well as the conditions for work of HRDs have been significantly threatened with the introduction of several restrictive legislative changes since Autumn 2015. Some of the changes, such as the law on assemblies amended in December 2016, as well as the centralisation of state funding for non-governmental organisations, directly affect the work of HRDs. Under the amended legislation, the government is entitled to abuse the right to freedom of assembly and speech, and deprive state funding from human rights organisations critical of the state’s compliance with the international human rights law and democratic principles.
Meanwhile, the conditions for HRDs working with issues related to women and labor rights, discrimination and violence against ethnic minorities and LGBTI persons became especially highly unfavourable. For instance, in May 2016, the government abolished the state council for combating racism despite recorded increase in the number of cases of discrimination and hate crimes. In the same year, the government stopped funding Poland's women's rights centre which specialises on support for victims of domestic abuse.

This release is also special is because it has Unity 8 available as the second option. As announced by Mark Shuttleworth that the Unity 8 is no more supported by Canonical. From Ubuntu 18.04 next year, the GNOME will be the default desktop environment.
In Ubuntu 17.04, there is no need to create a swap partition. You now have swap file.Swap file is a file on the hard drive that is used to provide temporary space to programs. Using swap file provides more space for programs than the physical memory (RAM) installed in computer.
The domain name we type in the url bar is a piece of information for connecting to a particular website. The domain name is then pointed to the IP address of the hardware where the website is hosted.
systemd-resolved is a dns resolver that resolve the IP address of any domain name.
Ubuntu 17.04 is based on the Linux kernel 4.10 and it has driverless printing to supported devices.
The applications have been updated to their latest versions. Gnome apps have been updated to 3.24 with the exception of Nautilus file manager (3.20), Terminal (3.20), Evolution (3.22) and software (3.22). The calendar app now has week view.

title: 4401948556943 what does servicem8 cost

text:
How much ServiceM8 costs depends on how many jobs you book in a month. The first 20 jobs every month are free, so if you do less than 20 jobs in a month you can use ServiceM8 without any limitation for free. From your 21st job onwards you pay a small amount per job, starting at 50c going down to 35c a job. That means if you make more than 50c on a job you can afford ServiceM8.
What counts as a job?
The easiest way to figure out if you will be charged for a job is by looking at the job number, you are charged one job fee per job number. This means you can schedule, invoice or quote a job as many times as you like and it will only incur one fee.
How much would I pay if I book 10 jobs a week?
$12 Including taxes a month - The first 20 jobs are free, so you will only pay for 24 jobs at 50c each.
How much would I pay if I booked 100 jobs in a calendar month?
$35 including taxes - The first 20 jobs are free, so you will only pay for 80 jobs at 45c each.
Can I prepay and receive a discount?
Yes, once you have a ServiceM8 account, you can pre-purchase job credit packs from within your account at a discounted rate.
Why charge per job instead of a fixed monthly fee?
We couldn't think of a better way to show our commitment to improving your business than to charge you based on success. There's no incentive for a fixed-fee provider to go the extra mile to assist you in completing more jobs. With ServiceM8, it's in our interest not only for you to succeed, but to grow - and with no contracts we re-win our customers on a monthly basis.
Do I need a credit card to sign up?
No, we want you to signup and get started as quick as possible, so we will not ask for your credit card until you go over 20 jobs in a single month. We accept Visa and MasterCard.

Roger Zelazny's new book -- three surprises
Three interesting facts about the new Roger Zelazny novel, "The Dead Man's Brother," published a few weeks ago:
(1) It's a surprise, first of all, to see this title in print at all, as Roger Zelazny died in 1995. A couple of his books were completed by his girlfriend, Jane Lindskold, after he died, but I had no idea there was a completed novel out there until I saw this title in Poisoned Pen bookstore in Scottsdale, Arizona.
It's not that unusual for even a successful writer to have unpublished novels. There are two or three unpublished George Alec Effinger novels that may never come out, barring a sudden revival of interest in his work.
(2) A bigger surprise is that "The Dead Man's Brother" is so good. This isn't "To Die in Italbar" or even "Jack of Shadows." It is a top flight Zelazny novel, crackling with wit and literary allusions, colorful and thoughtful. Trent Zelazny, the author's son, estimates in an afterward that the book was written "around 1970 or 1971." It's amazing that a book this good has gone unpublished for more than three decades.
(3) Finally, although this book is marketed as a mystery, it does have a science fiction element. The hero, Ovid Wiley, has been determined by scientists to be difficult to kill, i.e. they have used statistics to determine that a certain number of individuals can be determined to be "lucky" in surviving plane crashes, assaults by hit men, etc. This quality of Wiley's plays an important part in the plot. He's not another immortal Zelazny protagonist, but he is certainly less than mortal.

Hey everyone! I’m about to start my first game and I’m feeling a bit nervous. I’ve heard great things about this game, but I’m not sure what to expect. Does anyone have any helpful tips or tricks for a newbie? What should I focus on at the beginning? Are there any common mistakes I should avoid? I’d really appreciate any guidance you can offer to help me get the most out of my first playthrough. Thanks in advance for your help!
First playthrough? Sweet! My advice: Get lost in the world.
Try different things. Sometimes the weirdest choices lead to the coolest moments.
And don’t worry about messing up. It’s all part of the fun.
Save early, save often. Trust me, you’ll thank yourself later.
Experiment with different builds too. Respec is always an option if you don’t like how your character plays.
Don’t sweat it too much. Just dive in and have fun. The game does a decent job of easing you into things. My advice: talk to everyone, loot everything that’s not nailed down, and don’t be afraid to try different approaches to problems. You’ll figure out what works for you as you go along. Worst case, you can always start over if you really mess up.
Take your time exploring the world. Don’t rush through quests. I found way more cool stuff when I slowed down and just wandered around. Also, save often! You never know when you might need to reload.
Yeah exploration is key in this game. You’ll find some cool hidden stuff if you poke around. I’d say experiment with different play styles too. Try stealth, try going in guns blazing. See what clicks for you.


title: Building a knowledge base for your ai agent best practices should i use vector databases for my ai agents knowledge base

text:
Are you struggling to get your AI agent to deliver accurate and relevant responses? Many developers find that traditional knowledge base approaches – relying solely on structured databases or simple keyword searches – fall short when dealing with the complex nuances of human language. Traditional methods often fail to understand the context of a query, leading to frustratingly irrelevant answers and wasted development time. This post will delve into whether vector databases are the right solution for building your AI agent’s knowledge base, exploring their strengths and weaknesses and offering actionable insights.
Before diving into vector databases, let’s acknowledge why traditional approaches often struggle. Most standard database systems operate on exact matches – they search for strings that exactly correspond to your query. This works well for simple data retrieval but completely misses the point when dealing with natural language. Consider a user asking “What are some good Italian restaurants near me?” A relational database might only find entries specifically labeled “Italian Restaurants,” missing broader concepts like cuisine types or ambiance. Large Language Models (LLMs), while powerful, still rely on external knowledge to augment their responses, and without an efficient way to access that knowledge, their performance suffers.
Furthermore, scaling traditional keyword-based systems can become incredibly complex as your knowledge base grows. Maintaining indexes and optimizing search speed becomes a significant operational burden. Early estimates suggest that companies lose up to 20% of productivity due to inefficient information retrieval – a problem exacerbated by poorly designed knowledge bases. This inefficiency directly impacts the ROI on your AI agent’s development.
Vector databases offer a fundamentally different approach. Instead of searching for exact matches, they store data as numerical vectors (embeddings) that represent the semantic meaning of each piece of information. This means that similar concepts – even if expressed differently – will have vectors that are close to each other in the vector space. This allows for semantic search – finding information based on its *meaning* rather than just keywords.
The process begins with converting your knowledge base content (documents, FAQs, articles) into these numerical vectors using an embedding model. These models – often based on transformers like BERT or OpenAI’s embeddings – are trained to capture the underlying semantic relationships within text. For example, the sentences “A fast car” and “A speedy automobile” would generate very similar vector representations because they share a core meaning.
Feature | Traditional Database (SQL) | Vector Database |
Search Method | Exact Match, Keyword Search | Semantic Similarity – Based on Vector Embeddings |
Data Representation | Structured Data (Tables) | Vectors (Numerical Representations of Meaning) |
Scalability | Can become complex and slow with large datasets | Designed for high-speed similarity search across massive datasets |
Use Cases | Transaction processing, reporting | RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation), Semantic Search, Recommendation Systems |
The benefits of this approach are significant. Vector databases enable retrieval augmented generation (RAG) – a powerful technique where the LLM uses the retrieved knowledge to generate more accurate and contextually relevant responses. This dramatically improves the quality and reliability of your AI agent’s output.
Vector databases are particularly well-suited for scenarios involving:
For instance, a customer support chatbot utilizing a vector database could understand “How do I return an item?” even if the user doesn’t explicitly mention the word ‘return’. The system would retrieve relevant documentation on the returns policy based on semantic similarity.
While vector databases offer substantial advantages, they aren’t a silver bullet. Some key considerations include:
An e-commerce company used to rely on keyword search for product recommendations. Users often struggled to find exactly what they were looking for, leading to abandoned carts. By implementing a vector database and RAG, they drastically improved the user experience. The system now understands customer queries like “I’m looking for a comfortable running shoe for beginners” and can retrieve relevant products based on features (comfort, runner type) rather than just keywords. This resulted in a 15% increase in conversion rates.
Q: Are vector databases more expensive than traditional databases? A: It depends on usage volume and chosen provider. Initial setup costs can be higher, but long-term operational costs may be lower due to optimized search speeds.
Q: How do I choose the right embedding model? A: Consider your data’s domain, query complexity, and desired accuracy. Experiment with different models to find the best fit.
Q: What are some popular vector database options? A: Pinecone, ChromaDB, Weaviate, Milvus, and Qdrant are widely used choices.

In addition to her success in the T20 format, Fatima Sana has been appointed as the new captain of Pakistan’s women’s cricket team in the One Day International (ODI) format. This responsibility comes in light of Nida Dar’s unavailability due to injury. Fatima Sana is set to lead Pakistan in the upcoming Second ODI against New Zealand.
More From FactFile: Shan Masood appointed Test captain, Shaheen Afirdi to lead T20
Commenting on her captaincy, Fatima Sana stated, “It is an honor to lead the Pakistan women’s side in ODIs, although the circumstances are unfortunate with Nida Dar’s injury. She has been an inspiration, and I wish her a speedy recovery. We had a historic T20I series win against New Zealand, and I know the players are eager to perform well in the ODI series too. Although we didn’t have a good outing in the first ODI, we are all geared up to excel in tomorrow’s game.”

study shows chinese consumers have become more savvy -so米体育
fresh food and fast moving consumer goods retail sales on the chinese mainland are expected to add up to 5 percent growth in the next five years, and major structural changes are expected due to the latest market trends and consumption sentiment.
consumers have become more savvy and pragmatic, as they tend to seek bargains while also paying attention to quality, thus giving rise to new retail formats and opportunities for online vendors and brick-and-mortar stores, according to a recent joint study by bain & company and the china chain store & franchise association.
overall, fresh food and fmcg sales at discount stores and membership warehouse retailers are forecast to grow much more rapidly than the market average level due to their distinctive features and shifts in consumer behavior, while the size of traditional supermarket chains is expected to shrink.
in the new social economic landscape, discount stores have seen booming sales as consumers seek budget shopping options for daily food and grocery items, the report said.
membership exclusive stores could reach an annual market value of 300 billion yuan (us$41 billion) in five years thanks to higher-tier cities' rising dispensable incomes and more affluent families.
the discount community store market value is expected to reach 200 billion yuan annually by 2028, and overseas retailers should localize their operations and dig deeper to cater local demands instead of just copying a similar model to china, the report said.
han weiwen, managing partner of bain's china offices, said that community group-buying and social commerce have boomed in recent years due to the higher e-commerce penetration rate in china compared to other markets in the world.
in addition, live-streaming and social commerce shopping has played a monumental role in pushing up overall online sales, especially during promotional periods such as singles day shopping events.
china chain store & franchise association general secretary peng jianzhen said that retailers need to seek organic growth by responding to new consumption trends and market sentiment.
home brands are expected to make up about 30 percent at leading supermarket chain stores in the next three to five years, and the study suggested retailers find the most suitable categories to maximize supply chain advantages to differentiate from other players.


title: Law building tops out

text:
For Belmont President Dr. Bob Fisher, topping out the Randall and Sadie Baskin Law Center on Tuesday morning was like a point on Lewis and Clark’s voyage to the Pacific.
“We’re on the Yellowstone River,” Fisher said. “We’re still going west and we’re still going upstream.”
At this point in the journey, however, Fisher wanted to celebrate the work done on the law building so far, as dozens of administrators, law students, faculty and others toured parts of the law school construction. All of the external structure for the building is now complete, and the entire complex is expected to be finished around June or July.
“In the period of about five months, it will be spectacular,” Fisher said.
Fisher, with Chairman of the Board of Trustees Marty Dickens, and Dean of the College of Law Dr. Jeff Kinsler, were openly thankful to many for the work done so far, especially by the construction workers who had helped with the 18-month project.
“I get to say what I love saying,” Dickens said at the beginning of the program. “It’s because there are so many great things happening. It’s another great day at this university.”
Kinsler sees major potential students in the building on 15th and Acklen avenues, and thinks the Belmont Law community will flourish there next semester.
“It will be a great home for our great students, our great faculty and our great staff,” he said.
The building is projected to cost around $32 million when completed, and will also have a five-level parking garage below it.


title: New covent garden summer soups

text:
Who in their right mind wants to eat soup in the summer ?! That was my first thought when I was approached to try out New Covent Garden's new range of summertime soups. Admittedly, the great British summer can sometimes seem more like autumn or spring but I want to be eating barbecues, picnics, fresh fruit salads ... soup isn't really up there on my wishlist.
But I decided to see what was on offer and I was pleasantly surprised. I thought to myself, summer soup - let me guess. Gazpacho. Well yes, there is Gazpacho. There's even an intriguing Melon Gazpacho as Soup of the Month : "Cantaloupe and Honeydew melons blended with cucumber and tomatoes". But there are also some really different and tasty-sounding soups to try that really do sound appealing on a hot summer's day.
New Covent Garden's range of light and refreshing summer soups contains five varieties, two brand new soups – Sunshine Yellow Tomato and Spicy Sweetcorn - and three refreshed favourites from last year – Pea & Mint, Gazpacho and Summer Vegetable. New Covent Garden always amaze me with the totally different soups they come up with - double Brownie points for whoever came up with yellow tomato soup !
But however nice they sound or look in the pack, the proof of the pudding is in the eating so what are they actually like ? I've been sampling them so here are my opinions.
Pea & Mint : If you like minted peas, you'll love this because it tastes the same as eating a plateful of fresh minted peas. The only time I really eat mint is as mint sauce so I kept thinking how nice this would taste with a bit of roast lamb added to the mix ! It can be eaten hot or cold, so is a great option whatever the British summer can throw at us !
Gazpacho : The least surprising recipe so I wasn't expecting to be particularly dazzled by this one. Tomatoes, cucumbers, red and green peppers and a pinch of smoked paprika. I always thought gazpacho had to be eaten cold but the label says this can be enjoyed hot or cold. Lovely and refreshing cold, it tastes like a good, freshly-prepared, home-made gazpacho (without all the annoying chopping and blending).
Summer Vegetable : I wasn't actually sure what counts as summer veg so I checked the list of ingredients : potatoes, onions, broccoli, broad beans, courgettes, peas, spinach, green beans. If that sounds way too healthy, they've added a dollop of double cream and some mature cheddar cheese to make it creamy and luxurious. I could detect an intriguing backnote but couldn't work out what it was so back to the list of ingredients to investigate : mint, garlic, lemon thyme and cracked black pepper.
Sunshine Yellow Tomato : This one makes me think of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe for some reason ! It doesn't taste like normal red tomato soup so don't come to it expecting that - that may be down to the inclusion of carrots and butternut squash. It has a very slight chilli kick that is lovely if you're eating it warm.
Spicy Sweetcorn : Think mildly spicy, not tongue-on-fire heat ! I found this went great as a starter followed on by Mexican ribs and chilli-glazed steaks on the barbecue. The sweetness of the sweetcorn is refreshing in contrast to the spices.
I have to admit, I'm convinced - you don't have to scrub soup off the menu just because the temperatures start rising. The flavours are more subtle and refreshing than with the heartier winter soups and I love the fact that some of them can be eaten cold, so you have an instant light dinner or no-fuss lunch at work.
As with many of New Covent Garden's soups, these are seasonal varieties so get in quick if you want to give them a go because by the end of the summer, it'll be too late !

38 Years Ago: Randy Travis Takes “On The Other Hand” To #1
on Jul 25, 2024
“On the Other Hand” is a seminal song in Randy Travis‘s career and the broader landscape of country music.
Released in 1985, the song was a pivotal moment in Randy Travis’s rise to fame and a significant influence on the genre’s direction during the 1980s. Written by Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz, the song exemplifies the neotraditional country style that Travis became known for, blending traditional country sounds with contemporary sensibilities.
The song was first released as a single in 1985 but initially did not achieve significant success, peaking at number 67 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. However, its re-release in 1986 turned the tide for both the song and Travis’s career. After Travis’s breakout single “1982” brought him considerable attention, Warner Bros. decided to re-release “On the Other Hand,” which then soared to the top of the charts, becoming Travis’s first number-one hit.
The song’s narrative centers on a married man contemplating infidelity but ultimately choosing loyalty to his wife. The lyrics poignantly describe his internal struggle, captured in the chorus: “On one hand, I could stay and be your loving man / But the reason I must go is on the other hand.”
The song’s exploration of commitment and morality resonated deeply with audiences, showcasing Travis’s rich baritone voice and ability to convey deep emotion.
“On the Other Hand” played a crucial role in the emergence of the neotraditionalist movement in country music during the mid-1980s.
This movement sought to return the genre to its roots, emphasizing traditional instrumentation and storytelling. Travis, along with other artists like George Strait and Reba McEntire, was at the forefront of this resurgence, which came as a response to the more pop-oriented sounds that had dominated country music in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The song’s success paved the way for Travis’s subsequent hits, establishing him as a leading figure in country music. His debut album, Storms of Life, which includes “On the Other Hand,” was a critical and commercial success, solidifying his status as a star. The album is often credited with revitalizing traditional country music and influencing a new generation of artists.
“On the Other Hand” remains one of Randy Travis’s most beloved songs, and its impact on the genre is still felt today. It represents a pivotal moment in country music history, highlighting the enduring appeal of heartfelt storytelling and traditional sounds. Travis’s ability to connect with listeners through his music has made “On the Other Hand” a timeless classic, celebrated for its lyrical depth and emotional resonance.


title: The wvas backvapingbeatsmoking campaign kicks off in strasbourg

text:
At the time, the launch was attended by a number of vapers around Europe and MEP Peter Liese. Director of the WVA Michael Landl, highlighted the potential of vaping products. “Vaping has the potential to save 19 million lives in Europe. Tomorrow, the Beating Cancer Committee in the European Parliament (BECA) meets to discuss proposals to reduce the harm caused by smoking tobacco. They have the opportunity to make history and save lives IF they back vaping as a tool to beat smoking. Our message to them is clear – choose science and save lives”.
The WVA presented its suggested “Vaping Products Directive”
Meanwhile, on kicking off the campaign this time round, WVA representatives met with several Members of the European Parliament to present their “Vaping Products Directive” showing how vaping can be used as a tool to fulfil its full potential for public health. This was accompanied by an art installation titled, “Don’t Let 19 Million Lives Fall”, a message that will spread across ten cities within six countries between October and November 2022.
Moreover, the campaign will be coinciding with the ongoing review of the Europe-wide tobacco legislation, Tobacco Products Directive (TPD). The WVA has previously participated in the EU Commission’s public call for evidence to speak out against flavour bans and excessive regulation. With this campaign the group aims to once again give the European vaping community a voice, in sharing their smoking cessation experiences via vaping.
WVA director Michael Landl, highlighted that lives can be saved by regulating vaping sensibly. “By backing vaping we can beat smoking and save 19 million lives with sensible regulation. The EU call for evidence has seen a record number of 24,000 responses, showing that consumers want to embrace tobacco harm reduction, and it happens that vaping has been proven one of the most successful so far. The EU needs to put an end to current discussions about flavour bans and vaping must be kept affordable and accessible. It is time for the EU to fully endorse tobacco harm reduction and to make vaping a centre piece of it.”

title: The benefits of online therapy

text:
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives in innumerable ways. But, as stressful as this lockdown has been for most of us, we have learned much about ourselves as individuals and as a nation.
Another silver lining that has emerged from this crisis is a new awareness and embracing of treatment tools that have been available for some time. Telehealth (or telemedicine) and online therapy have been around for decades but are now experiencing a surge in popularity because of the mandatory quarantine.
Once life gets back to normal, will these virtual tools fall by the wayside? It’s doubtful because they simply offer too many benefits to patients and providers.
Here are some benefits of online therapy and why you may want to start making the switch:
Better Access to Care
In some rural areas of the country, it’s not easy to find qualified mental health therapists. Online therapy would provide access to care to anyone that needs it, regardless of where they live.
Online therapy would allow for the integration of behavioral health care and primary care. This will ultimately lead to better outcomes for the patient.
Despite the progress we’ve made over the last couple of decades, there is still a stigma attached to mental health treatments. This stops many people from seeking the help they need. Online therapy means an individual can receive help from the comfort of their home without anyone knowing.
How often do patients cancel appointments or show up late because of other family and/or work responsibilities or traffic jams? Access to online therapy would reduce many of these scenarios.
We are currently seeing a situation where it isn’t safe to be around other people. And yet, should a person lose access to mental health care because of illness and disease? Certainly not.
What about unsafe weather? In many parts of the country, there are snowstorms, icy roads, and hurricanes that make it impossible to travel safely.
Online therapy allows people to receive the help they need, regardless of any unsafe conditions.
Access for Disabled Populations
Oftentimes the people who need therapy the most are the very people who find it difficult to leave their homes or navigate the outside world. Online therapy allows bedridden patients and those with debilitating chronic illnesses access to the help they need.
I offer online therapy to patients because I want to help as many people as I can as safely as I can. If you’d like to explore this style of treatment, please get in touch with me.


title: How much money does the hershey company make in stock

Hershey chocolate company in Hershey, PA.
To stock market is to invest money into a stock in hopes of making a profit. The stock market allows new ideas to be funded by individuals like u and I such as microsoft. The investment that you make is sort of like lending money to a company and the company in turns pays you the investor a percentage of its profits. If the company does not make money though there is a potential to lose money.
A stock market is a place where it tells how much money a comPany has made and where people give money to a company in hope that the company will make money
yesReese's was a separate company that bought Hershey chocolate for it's product. Hershey's eventually bought the company.
The Hershey Company
When you buy a stock, you are purchasing a small ownership stake in a company. This means you have the potential to make money if the company does well and the stock price goes up, but you also risk losing money if the stock price goes down.
Hershey is its own company, they make kisses, bars, and al kinds of wacky chocolate products
because they are freakin stupid people that think they will make a lot of money
Yes, they make money every day!!
Usually they make around $500,000 Salary but their main money is in stock options which can be in the millions.
In a lot of cases none of it goes to the company. The Republicans like to tell people how investing works is as follows: John Smith buys stock in Acme. Acme uses the money from the sale to hire people, make new and better products and improve its equipment. Bull. That works ONLY if the stock is an initial issue--in that case you're buying it directly from the company. In the secondary market most stock is in, when you buy stock you're buying it from me. I turn around and buy other stock with that money--stock I bought from John over there, who uses the money I gave him for his stock to buy that stock you don't like anymore. And so it goes. If you want to spend money on a company and have some of the money go to the company, buy the company's product.


title: Professor posted controversial belly dancing videos run president

text:
Mona Prince, an English language professor at Suez University known in the media for publicly posting videos of her belly dancing on her Facebook account, announced that she will run in the upcoming 2018 presidential elections.
She started a Facebook page called “Professor Mona Prince Egypt President 2018”. The slogan of her presidential campaign is: “With science, art and freedom, your golden sun will be restored, Egypt. And Egyptians will again be productive people who contribute to human civilization.”
“I cannot promise to solve the problems of Egypt and Egyptians in a year ot two years or 10 years. Real change takes time. I just promise to work hard with efficient young people to lay sound foundations for building a modern Egyptian state and to restore the Egyptian identity to the Egyptians in the four years [term of office],” Prince wrote on Facebook.
“Because I am a cheerful person who loves life by nature, I will be a lighthearted president and I will pamper the people,” she added.
Prince originally published the video on her Facebook page as a public post which was then shared by a number of students, sparking intense criticism.
Students and others described her behavior in the video as “disgraceful”, especially as a university professor should be a role model for young people.
Maher Mosbah, the dean of Suez University, told Egypt Independent earlier in April that Prince has been referred to investigations, as her actions violate the Egyptian universities’ code of conduct under Article 94, which defines the duties and obligations of any university professor in Egypt.
He explained: “Article 94 obliges any university professor in Egypt to abide to certain rules and morals, and to avoid any behavior that may damage a university’s reputation.”
Prince came out to defend her decision to post the video publicly, saying that this is a matter of personal freedom and no one has the right or the authority to interfere or comment on it.
In response to the wide-spread attacks by social media users against her character, Prince released a new video of her dancing on her Facebook page, with a caption reading: “I will never stop laughing, dancing, singing and writing.”
She also wrote a number of Facebook posts on her personal account to demonstrate her indifference to the investigations and the backlash. She explained that she will undertake all necessary legal measures in dealing with the university administration concerning the videos.

title: Clean shits by rima zamzam curated by yana malysheva jones

text:
Young Russian artist Rima Zamzam works on exploring human experience through daily interactions with objects, space and contact with other people and her own self. A simple question that the artist is eager to answer is what is it, ultimately, to be a human being?
Modern society leaves us nothing but sterile forms of existence where not paying meticulous attention to anything but a norm becomes a threat and is prone to being liquidated. Today, in all forms of communication and interaction, there is a tendency to sort and separate — rubbish, information, people, feelings. Is it all because it is becoming too much or because we — as humans — are designed to estrange ourselves from anything unknown, uncomfortable, unusual and unfamiliar, whether it is a black cat on the street or a black period in our lives?
We are made to believe that we are on the way to the most liberal form of existence ever known. But are we? Any force creates a shadow just by simply existing.
We humans get scared by the products of our own body, like fluids, thoughts and emotions. Isn’t this why we try so hard to be tolerant and acceptable on the outside? We befriend everyone by becoming strangers to our own selves.
For her new performance piece CLEAN SHITS, Rima Zamzam finds inspiration in her four-week stay in Venice and old Italian movies by Federico Fellini and Vittorio De Sica. Intrigued by the images of the city and the people appropriating them — that altogether create nothing but movie scenery — she, as usual, is trying to answer questions (mainly to herself): Where is she going? Where is she now? Which experiences brought her here?

title: Nira hails federal govt for intensifying adoption of nigerias top level domain

text:
The Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA) has applauded the federal government for showing understanding of the need to intensify the adoption of Nigeria country code top-level domain (ccTLD), .ng within and outside the government circle.
The Federal Executive Council (FEC) led by President Muhammadu Buhari, had last month following a presentation by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof. Isa Pantami, approved the National Policy on the Nigerian Government Second-Level Domains.
Thus, the President of NIRA, Mr. Muhammed Rudman, reacting in a press statement, said the policy will strengthen public confidence in the use of digital technologies and participation in the digital economy.
The Policy is also in line with the implementation of the Nigerian e-Government Master Plan, approved by the Federal Executive Council in August 2018.
“The National Policy as adopted by FEC is apt because for years NiRA has been pushing for the government to accelerate the adoption of the second-level domain (. gov. ng, .edu.ng, .mil.ng) under the country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD.ng).
“So, what the Minister has done is commendable because the main objective is ‘to eliminate the use of top-level domains for Government business and the use of private emails for official correspondences by the end of the year 2022”.
He noted that the policy will create a world-class open and digitalized government that connects with people to drive efficiencies in public administration, the responsiveness of civil services, and transparency in governance leading to improvement of the quality of life of Nigerians.
According to Mr. Rudman, the need to switch over to .ng is no longer negotiable in view of the significant role it plays in the country’s digital economy agenda.
