Google Algorithm Updates: they’re the mysterious changes that can make or break your website’s visibility online. As a website owner or digital marketer, staying ahead of these updates is crucial for maintaining and improving your search engine rankings. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the world of Google Algorithm Updates, why they happen, their impact on websites, and how you can navigate them successfully. So buckle up and get ready to ride the waves of SEO changes with us!
Understanding Google Algorithm Updates
Google Algorithm Updates are the behind-the-scenes changes that Google makes to its search algorithm. These updates aim to improve search results by delivering more relevant and high-quality content to users. Understanding these updates is crucial for website owners and digital marketers alike, as they can have a significant impact on search engine rankings.
While Google doesn’t disclose all the specifics of its algorithm updates, they generally focus on factors like content quality, user experience, mobile-friendliness, and site speed. By staying informed about these updates and adapting your SEO strategies accordingly, you can ensure that your website remains competitive in the ever-evolving online landscape.
Monitoring industry news, following Google’s official announcements, and analyzing data trends are essential steps in understanding how Google Algorithm Updates may affect your website’s performance. Keeping a pulse on these changes allows you to proactively adjust your SEO tactics and stay ahead of the curve in optimizing for search visibility.
Why Do They Happen?
Google Algorithm updates happen for various reasons, often aimed at improving the search experience for users. The primary goal is to deliver more relevant and high-quality content in search results. These updates are designed to ensure that websites providing valuable information rank higher, while those employing manipulative tactics are penalized.
The algorithms undergo changes to keep up with evolving trends in technology and user behavior. Google constantly refines its algorithms to combat spammy practices, enhance user satisfaction, and adapt to new types of online content.
Factors like mobile-friendliness, page speed, security protocols, and overall user experience play a significant role in shaping these updates. By understanding why these updates occur, website owners can better prepare themselves for potential fluctuations in their search rankings.
Impact of Algorithm Updates on Websites
When Google rolls out algorithm updates, websites across the digital landscape brace themselves for potential impacts. These updates can have a significant effect on website rankings, traffic, and overall visibility online. For some sites, an algorithm update can mean a sudden drop in search engine results pages (SERPs), leading to decreased organic traffic and potentially affecting revenue streams.
On the flip side, websites that align with Google’s updated criteria may see a boost in rankings and increased visibility. The key is to stay informed about these changes and adapt your SEO strategies accordingly to mitigate any negative impact on your website’s performance.
While it may be challenging to predict the exact repercussions of each algorithm update, staying proactive by monitoring your site’s metrics regularly can help you identify any sudden shifts and take corrective measures promptly. Remember that adapting to change is crucial in the ever-evolving digital landscape!
Notable Google Algorithm Updates in the Past
Google Algorithm updates have been shaking up the digital landscape for years. One of the most significant updates was Panda, which targeted low-quality content and keyword stuffing, penalizing websites that didn’t meet quality standards.
Another noteworthy update was Penguin, focusing on link schemes and spammy backlinks to improve search results’ relevance and credibility.
Hummingbird introduced a shift towards semantic search, understanding user intent rather than just keywords in queries. This change paved the way for more conversational and natural language searches.
Mobilegeddon made mobile-friendliness a key ranking factor, emphasizing the importance of responsive design for better user experience on mobile devices.
RankBrain brought artificial intelligence into play to interpret complex queries and deliver more relevant results based on context.
Staying updated with these past algorithm changes can help website owners adapt their strategies to stay ahead in the ever-evolving SEO game.
How to Prepare for an Algorithm Update
With Google constantly tweaking its algorithm, it’s crucial for website owners to stay ahead of the game. Here are some tips to help you prepare for an upcoming algorithm update.
First, make sure your website follows best SEO practices. This includes optimizing your content with relevant keywords and improving user experience.
Next, keep an eye on industry news and updates from Google. Being informed about potential changes can help you adapt quickly.
Regularly monitor your website’s performance using tools like Google Analytics. This will give you insights into what is working well and what needs improvement.
Diversify your traffic sources by utilizing social media, email marketing, and other channels. This can help mitigate the impact of any sudden algorithm shifts.
Consider seeking advice from SEO experts or joining online communities to stay informed and exchange strategies with peers.
By implementing these proactive measures, you can better position your website to navigate through algorithm updates smoothly.
Tips for Recovering from a Negative Impact
Experiencing a drop in rankings due to a Google algorithm update can be daunting for any website owner. However, there are steps you can take to recover from a negative impact and improve your site’s performance.
Conduct a thorough audit of your website to identify any issues that may have contributed to the decline in rankings. This could include checking for broken links, duplicate content, or slow page speed.
Next, focus on creating high-quality and relevant content that aligns with Google’s guidelines. Make sure your content is valuable and engaging for your audience.
Consider building high-quality backlinks from reputable websites within your industry. This can help boost your site’s authority and credibility in the eyes of search engines.
Stay updated on the latest SEO trends and best practices to ensure you’re following current recommendations for optimizing your website.
Be patient and monitor the changes you implement over time. Recovery from an algorithm update may not happen overnight but staying diligent will eventually lead to positive results.
In the ever-evolving world of SEO, staying informed about Google algorithm updates is crucial for website owners and digital marketers. By understanding why these updates happen, recognizing their impact on websites, and preparing accordingly, you can navigate through them more effectively.
Keep in mind that algorithm updates are aimed at improving user experience and providing the most relevant search results. While they may cause fluctuations in rankings initially, adapting to these changes proactively can help your website thrive in the long run.
By following best practices like creating high-quality content, focusing on user experience, building authoritative backlinks, and monitoring performance regularly, you can minimize the negative effects of algorithm updates and even recover if your site is impacted.
Remember that SEO is not a one-time effort but an ongoing process. Stay updated with industry news, trends, and algorithm changes to ensure that your website remains visible and competitive in search engine results pages.
Embrace change as an opportunity for growth rather than a setback. With a strategic approach to SEO and a willingness to adapt when needed, you can position your website for success despite the challenges posed by Google’s algorithm updates.

We are in the process of upgrading our Citrix farm to Windows Server 2008 x64 (terminal services). I have two servers identically setup and have installed the NetServerClient (4.8.1005) via an .MSI. When accessing the internet (IE 7) on these machines – web pages load very slowly if at all. Randomly if you click the refresh button they will load or partially load. I have tried troubleshooting this and have come to the conclusion it is Avast causing the issue, as when I disable all the Avast services running on these servers, IE loads web pages quickly without issue. Note: We have the Windows Firewall turned completely off on these boxes.
Any assistance or recommendations would be appreciated.
Update on my testing: All Avast services can be turned on except “avast! Web Scanner” and browsing on IE 7 works fine. When “avast! Web Scanner” is turned on, web browsing is extremely slow or does not present the page at all. (But random of which it will perform – just never performs like it should when the “avast! Web Scanner” is turned on.)
did u try a reinstall of the avast client yet?
Yes … I’ve reinstalled several times and also did installs on new clean Server 2008 SP2 TS server boxes. I’m now also having the same problem with a Vista SP2 machine.
I have disabled the “Avast! Web Scanner” service on these machines as an only way to get IE to run correctly.
I have no other “security” software (i.e. McAfee, Symantec, etc.) installed on these machines and never had. The only other security software running is Microsoft Windows Defender. I do have corporate hardware firewalls (but not software firewall on the machines, including Windows Firewall).
I fear for having this turned off so long. I hope a resolution is found soon.
try turning of windows defender, you can do this with a GPO if wanted… windows defender basicly does the same as avast does i guess and 2 programs accessing the same thing for the same thing (scanning) could slow it down i guess…
Yes I have disabled Win Defender. Also completely uninstalled and reinstalled the client following this (both Vista & 2008 boxes). Same problem. Also had another Vista 32 bit user today report this issue. Another PC I have had to turn off the Web scanner. Hopefully Avast 5 is released soon and the ADNM is updated with a release at the same time that fixes these issues.
In the interim, any others with knowledge of this issue, I would appreciate your recommendations.

Common Causes of Hip Pain in Young Adults
Wondering what the common causes of hip pain in young adults are? this blog will provide you with the information that you need to understand possible causes and will recommend when to seek treatment.
Signs & Symptoms
Hip pain tends to present with a variety of symptoms including:
Clicking or “locking” of the hip joint
Pain in the groin which may be made worse by various positions such as sitting or prolonged walking
Difficulty putting on shoes and socks
Pain in the buttocks
Hip pain in older individuals can be caused by osteoarthritis (“wear and tear”) of the ball and socket joint.
In younger individuals, a myriad of reasons for hip pain exist.:
Simple groin strains – which respond well to physiotherapy
Inflammation of the tendons around the hip
Subtle hip shape deformities such as Dysplasia, and Impingement.
This blog will be delving further into hip pain caused by subtle deformities of the hip joint that give rise to either Dysplasia and/or Impingement.
What is Hip Dysplasia?
Dysplasia quite simply means “abnormal development”. Thereby hip dysplasia indicates that in a certain individual, their hip (the ball and socket joint) has not developed normally. There is usually a genetic cause for this, and it frequently runs in families.
Most commonly, hip dysplasia is characterized by a “shallow” socket that does not adequately cover the femoral head. When the femoral head is not completely covered by the socket, the hip is unstable, may become painful and eventually develop osteoarthritis. Patients often feel like the hip may dislocate, and it may click on occasion.
In its severest form, it presents in newborns with a dislocated hip. This is picked up at birth and treated. In its mildest form, it may not become symptomatic until the patient is in their 20’s or 30’s.
How is Hip Dysplasia Diagnosed?
Hip Dysplasia is diagnosed with a combination of clinical history, examination findings and imaging. Dysplasia is often seen on a standard radiograph (“X-Ray”) of the Pelvis and both hips. Additional investigations which help guide treatment options include CT and MRI scans. Finally, a diagnostic injection of local anaesthetic into the hip joint may be performed to ensure the correct diagnosis is reached.
What is the treatment of Hip Dysplasia?
As with most hip conditions, we would always advise non-operative treatment initially. This includes physiotherapy and painkillers. However, if non-surgical treatment fails, hip dysplasia is corrected by surgery. If hip dysplasia goes untreated, arthritis is likely to develop. Symptomatic hip dysplasia is likely to continue to cause symptoms until the deformity is surgically corrected.
Many patients benefit from a procedure called a periacetabular osteotomy or PAO. The medical term “periacetabular” means “around the acetabulum” or “around the hip socket.” The term “osteotomy” refers to any procedure in which bone is cut. Thus, a PAO is a procedure where the bone is cut around the hip socket. The socket is placed into the optimal position and secured using 3 or 4 bone screws.
The surgery is performed under a general anaesthetic, through a minimally invasive surgical incision (about 10cm) in the bikini-line region of your upper thigh. The surgery itself can take up to 3 hours. After surgery, the patient would be required to walk with crutches for up to 3 months.
By correcting the patient’s anatomy, the procedure has been shown in numerous studies to relieve hip pain and delay the progression of osteoarthritis within one’s hip.
What is Hip Impingement?
Hip impingement, or femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), is a condition where the bones in the hip joint are abnormally shaped. Either the hip socket has too much bone along the rim of the socket. Or the femoral head on the leg bone isn’t sufficiently rounded.
This abnormal shape of the joint leads to uneven wearing, friction and pinching of the soft tissues around the hip. It is possible to have both socket and femoral head deformities at the same time. Hip impingement can affect anyone of any age.
The causes of hip impingement include many sporting activities including martial arts, weight training, golf and football, but also lifestyle and occupational causes. Often there may be a genetic cause and it may run in families.
The impingement often occurs when the hip is flexed or “bent up”. This may occur when sitting for long periods, squatting, or running.
How is Hip Impingement Diagnosed?
Hip Impingement is diagnosed with a combination of clinical history, examination findings and imaging. Impingement is often seen on a standard radiograph (“X-Ray”) of the Pelvis and both hips. Additional investigations which help guide treatment options include CT and MRI scans.
How is Hip Impingement Treated?
As with most hip conditions, we would always advise non-operative treatment initially. This includes physiotherapy and painkillers. This being said, if non-surgical treatment fails, hip impingement is often corrected by surgery. If hip impingement goes untreated, arthritis is likely to develop.
Surgical treatment is directed to the aspect of the hip, which is not normal. Often this is either due to excess bone on the socket and/or femoral head (ball) of the hip joint. In this case, a keyhole operation to the hip (hip arthroscopy) can be beneficial. This procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and may take up to 3 hours to perform fully. During this procedure, the leg is attached to a specialised traction device and table which enables a small gap between the ball and socket to be achieved. Once the gap is opened, we are able to insert a camera through a small incision to the side of the hip. A second small opening is made adjacent to that to allow us to insert further equipment such as a small shaver/burr to remove the excess bone and tissue. This is usually a day case procedure and the patient is expected to make a full recovery within 6 weeks.
If there is an issue with the rotational alignment of the socket and/or ball of the femur, then we may advocate a procedure to correct this. Correcting the rotational malalignment of the socket would involve performing a periacetabular osteotomy (as described above). Rotational malalignment of the ball of the femur would involve an osteotomy (cut to bone) to the femur (thigh bone) and fixation with a metal plate on the side of the bone.
Book an Appointment
Hip Dysplasia and Impingement are relatively common conditions that are amenable to treatment if identified early. The majority of patients with the condition, once diagnosed, may be treated with good results. Do not delay in seeking specialised orthopaedic assessment if you suspect you may suffer from either of these conditions. Early treatment avoids progression to arthritis and the inevitable hip replacement. Book an appointment at Coriel Orthopaedic Group today or contact us to find out more.Book Treatment

title: How to finance a dental chair

text:
Dental Chair financing can be an excellent way to save on cash in your dental practice. Whether you’re just starting out, or have an established practice, there can be many benefits for arranging equipment financing or equipment leasing for dental chairs or other dental equipment you may need to acquire.
Equipment financing amounts start at as low as $5,000 and can go up to basically any level, provided that the applicant can qualify for the amount requested.
As medical equipment financing goes, the rates and fees for dental equipment financing are some of the best in the market place.
Banks and institutional lenders as well as leasing companies view dentists and dental practitioners as very low credit risks and as a result are prepared to offer very competitive rates and terms without a great deal of qualifying information for requests under $100,000 in many cases.
With interest rates as low as they are, it may make a great deal of sense to not use up all your available cash flow and instead finance a new or used dental chair through an equipment loan or an equipment lease.
For the most part, equipment loans are only provided by banks and institutional lenders and only to “A” credit profiles.
There are also equipment leasing companies that cater to the “A” business as well as lower levels of credit.
Depending on your unique requirements or the requirements of the business, a loan or an equipment lease may both work well.
Get Dental Chair Financing That Meets Your Business Needs
In the case of an equipment loan, you or your business would own the dental chair and the bank or institutional lender would register a security charge against the asset to secure their loan/
With lease financing, the leasing company actually owns the asset and provides you with an exclusive right to use and operate the asset for the length of the lease.
Depending on your long term intentions, you can set up a lease so that you automatically purchase it for a nominal value at the end of the lease, or you can enter into an operating lease whereby you have a choice as to whether or not you purchase the dental chair when the lease term expires in the future.

Preparing players for their future through football: New Canton football coach, Casey Bess
The Canton Varsity Football squad had just a 3-6 record in the 2022 season leaving a sour taste in the mouths of Chiefs fans everywhere. New Head Coach Casey Bess is looking to turn the program around this year with an entirely different approach.
“I’ve been doing [coaching] for 12 years and I love coaching high school football,” said Bess. “I love the opportunity to connect with kids outside of the classroom. [You can] get to know kids a lot better when you’re doing things outside the classroom with them.”
Of the past 12 years that Bess has been coaching, the last nine years have been with his alma mater high school, Battle Creek Central, as an offensive coordinator. While coaching, Bess went 8-2 in the 2022 season and has won multiple games in the playoffs. During his tenure as quarterback at Battle Creek Central, he set the all-time passing yards record, until recently surpassed by a quarterback he coached.
With Bess as head coach, Canton will be deploying a spread offense with a much larger emphasis on passing and moving the ball
more quickly, pivoting away from the old methodical style of offense under Coach Andy LaFata. Bess used this same spread offense at Battle Creek Central with much success, scoring over 20 points a game in the regular season and reaching the district finals in 2022.
“We definitely pride ourselves in the fact that we’ve had success offensively,” said Bess. “The ultimate goal is to win games, so we have to put it all together.”
Off the football field, Bess is a P.E. and history teacher at Battle Creek Central where he will be teaching for the rest of the 2022-2023 school year. By the 2023-2024 school year, Bess said he is hoping to get a teaching job at P-CEP or the surrounding area to make coaching feasible while also being able to spend time with his two daughters, 5-year-old Cailee and 2-year-old Casey Jai.
Bess has made a few visits to the Plymouth-Canton Educational Park (P-CEP) while seeking a coaching job. He says he enjoys the campus and students. He has held a player meeting with the 2023 team to discuss his plans for the coming year.
“You know, through the interview process, and then, since I’ve been hired, I’ve come to the school a few times and I just really liked the complex there,” said Bess.
Your donation will support the student journalists of Salem High School - MI. Your contribution will allow us to purchase equipment and cover our annual website hosting costs.
Lucas Gentilia is a senior at Salem High School that loves being surrounded by friends and other energetic people. He is involved in all types of activities,...

title: Sicily providing inspiration for art lovers

text:
Sicily offers a range of delights for art lovers of all varieties, from traditional Italian frescos to modern art and photography, this unique Mediterranean island is a true gem, inspiring artists and art lovers alike. Wonderfully varied artistic influences have created a culture of beauty at every turn. Artists have been drawn to the island to make the most of the scenery and immerse themselves in a culture that values the aesthetics in life within an extremely fertile, lush landscape.
From the rolling hills of inland Sicily, the vineyards of the Marsala Provence and the sandy beaches and white cliffs known as La Scala dei Turchi – Sicily is a great place to visit and live if you are extremely lucky! Providing inspiration for centuries there has been a whole host of famous artists that have originated from the island.
Famous artists such as Antonello da Messina, an Italian Renaissance painter who broke the mould by becoming a southern Italian artist to prove influential on painters in northern Italy, especially Venice. The artist Renato Guttuso was also born here, taking inspiration from the people, the landscapes and the life style to create some very moving and poignant pieces.
To indulge your artistic passion yourself whilst in Sicily why not try a painting class in the countryside, the unique scenery provides awe-inspiring thinking pieces, marvelous topics for your artistic toils. There is enough inspiration to last a lifetime!
What makes Sicily so different from mainland Italy are the Greek influences that have flourished over the centuries. It is often said that Sicilians hold a unique character, a blend of both Italian and Greek influences. The archaeological museums of Sicily are filled with artifacts from the Greek occupation: Painted ceramics and amphorae, sculptures and bronzes and carved ornaments from temple buildings. Terracotta ceramics from the island are also distinctive of the area; this artistic tradition goes back to the original ancient peoples names the Sicilians.
Probably the most well known art gallery in Sicily is the Sicily Regional gallery, or the Galleria Regionale di Sicilia, a grand, Gothic building in itself situated close to the waterside in Palmermo, it is the capital’s main art museum. It displays a range of medieval works such as Francesco Laurana’s Bust of Eleanor of Aragon and the massive 15th-centuary fresco; Triumph of Death, is also impressive yet chilling.
Other than the most well know galleries there are also many more hidden gems to discover in the country and local artists exhibiting their produce. An annual event also looked forward to by many is the Viaggio. A contemporary art project organised by Planeta, one of Sicily’s leading winemakers. This year’s exhibition features work by artists from the Scicli school, who recount, through painting and sculptures, their travels through Sicily and Planeta’s vineyards.
Not only have numerous paintings come out of the area but a unique type of architecture; Baroque. Architecture in the Baroque style covers the land; the style is extravagant and dramatic and characteristically adorns most cathedrals, churches and other key buildings in most towns and villages. The Noto province provides one of the best examples of the Baroque architecture brought to Sicily. After the town was completely destroyed by the 1693 earthquake, visionaries created a new town based firmly on baroque ideals with curvaceous façades and perfectly proportioned, linear open spaces. The beautiful architecture typical of the area also makes great topics for painting and sketching.
Religious inspired artworks: Most Sicilian towns claim a patron saint and these adorn buildings and inspire artworks from locals, these saints are also celebrated in processions through the streets and at festivals.
If you are relocating to Sicily with your art collection then it is advisable to commission a fine art handling specialist who specialises in the bespoke packing and transportation of fine art to ensure your prize artworks get to their new destination in one piece.
Sicilians are proud to be unique and have their own identity, proud to be Sicilian. Live like the Sicilians and immerse yourself in the culture, art and history of this unique and passionate Mediterranean island.

Abba Kabir Yusuf, Kano Governor, Sacked by Appeal Court
Appeal Court Disqualifies Abba Kabir Yusuf, Declares APC Winner in Kano Governorship Election
The Abuja Division of the Appeal Court has nullified the candidacy of Abba Kabir Yusuf, previously declared the governor of Kano state. The court’s ruling is based on the assertion that Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf was not a member of the NNPP (New Nigeria Peoples Party) at the time of the elections, rendering him unqualified for the contested seat. The tribunal’s decision not to disqualify Governor Yusuf earlier has been deemed erroneous by the Appeal Court.
Read Also PDP Lawmaker Dumps Party, Joins APC
The controversy stems from the March 18, 2023 election, where Abba Kabir Yusuf was initially declared the winner by the Independent National Electronic Electoral Commission (INEC), securing 1,019,602 votes against Nasiru Gawuna’s 890,705 votes. However, the All Progressives Congress (APC) raised allegations of electoral malpractice, leading to the tribunal’s intervention.
In a significant turn of events, a three-man panel, including Justice Oluyemi Akintan Osadebay and two other judges, reviewed the case and on September 20, 2023, removed Governor Yusuf from office. The tribunal invalidated 165,663 of his votes, citing the absence of signatures or stamps from the Independent National Electoral Commission.
This decision by the Appeal Court underscores the importance of adherence to party membership qualifications for candidates in electoral contests. The ruling has significant implications for the political landscape in Kano state, reshaping the outcome of the governorship election and reinforcing the need for transparent electoral processes.
What next for Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf?
It remains to be seen how this verdict will impact the political dynamics in Kano and whether it will lead to further legal proceedings or adjustments in the state’s leadership. As the APC celebrates this legal victory, the implications for the NNPP, Governor Abba Yusuf and the broader political climate in Kano are likely to unfold in the coming days.

Green Tea Chocolates containing EGCG extract from Green Tea!
Neuchatel has combined gourmet swiss chocolate with Green Tea EGCG extract to make a confection that offers consumers a way to maximize their beneficial flavonoid consumption.
Neuchatel produces two types of Green Tea chocolates containing EGCG:
Dark Swiss Chocolate
Sugar-Free Milk Chocolate
Each chocolate piece contains approximately 100mg of EGCG which is more than 90% pure by laboratory testing. The overall weight of each chocolate is ~10 grams.
The Benefits of Green Tea Chocolates
Green tea, a beverage commonly consumed in Asian countries, is a significant source of a type of flavonoid called catechins. The green tea catechins include epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), epigallocatechin, epicatechin gallate, and epicatechin. EGCG is the most abundant of these catechins, and many healthful benefits, including anticarcinogenic, antioxidant, antiangiogenic, and antiviral activities, have been attributed to EGCG. EGCG may also possess antidiabetic activity. Research shows that the antioxidant, EGCG, binds to a protein found on tumor cells and dramatically slows their growth. (Extracted from Tachibana, H. Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, April 2004; vol 11.)
In a recent report, injection of EGCG into lean and obese laboratory animals significantly lowered blood glucose and insulin levels, and green tea extract increased glucose metabolism in adipocytes. (Extracted from J. Biol. Chem., Vol. 277, Issue 38, 34933-34940, September 20, 2002)
More recent studies have concluded that EGCG kills cancer cells in vitro (in the lab). While there is no guarantee that the same effect takes place in vivo (in the body), many people drink green tea and take green tea pills for its beneficial effects.
One of the best ways to get EGCG into the body is through the buccal mucosa (the lining of your mouth). This reduces the loss of EGCG which occurs in the stomach, liver and kidneys. One method of accomplishing this is to put candy containing EGCG between your cheek and gum and let it be absorbed by the lining of your mouth.
Consuming Green Tea chocolates containing EGCG extract is an excellent way for your body to absorb the flavonoid benefits of Green Tea. As a special note of interest, certain chocolates also possess flavonoid benefits. In recent studies, it has been shown that chocolate contains antioxidants --phenolic compounds, also known as flavonoids -- that possess certain health benefits. Phenolics can help protect against or slow heart disease by preventing fat-like substances (LDL, or low-density lipoproteins) in the bloodstream from oxidizing and forming plaque that can eventually block arteries.

title: Getting started with load testing in visual studio 2012

text:
Since the release of the Visual Studio 11 Beta I have had several questions about load testing in Visual Studio. All of the questions to date have been around getting started…
Unlike Visual Studio 2010 that had Test > New Test > Load Test on the menu you have to create a new project of one of the three Test projects.
While there is a project type called “Web Performance and Load Test Project” it doesn’t create a Load Test by default. …Which is okay as a load test without any tests to supply load to doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Fortunately adding and creating a load test is trivial….
There is also some confusion about running the Load Test as the new Test Explorer doesn’t show Web or Load Tests and the Green “Run” button for the solution is trying to run the output that being created from the solution…Which in this case is something like: WebAndLoadTestProject1.dll.
I did speak with Peter Provost (The owner of the of the Test Explorer) and it makes total sense to me why Web and Load tests do not show up by default in the Test Explorer as his primary scenario is enabling developers do “Red, Green, Refactor” sort of workflows. He also realizes having CodedUI Tests showing up is a little off script -and rest assured he wants to be to able service different workflows too.
We aren’t quite done yet though; as running the Load Test at this point generates the error:
Could not connect to toad lest results database.
1 If SQL Sever is not installed on the local machine you can download and
install SQL Server Express from here
2. Check that the Load Test results database specified by the connection string is
currently available and valid.
Fortunately this is quite easy to fix….Navigate to the IDE directory were you installed Visual Studio 2012 and open the file: loadtestresultsrepository.sql.
Right clicking anywhere in this file and choosing “Execute” will prompt you for the location of the SQL Server you want to store the results.
NOTE if you are installing the database using SQL Integrated Security you will want to run Visual Studio as an Administrator.
At this point your load Tests should be ready to run.
(in this case since I am just running against Microsoft.com the performance counters for System under Test should be empty).
For more information on running and configuring Load Tests with Visual Studio 2012 please see:

When they do, your body releases histamine to drive out the irritants. As your body works to expel these allergens, you may suffer sneezing, coughing, and watery eyes. These irritants can clog your airways and make it more difficult for your CPAP to help you breathe during the night.
In the fall, ragweed tends to be especially challenging for allergy sufferers, and once you begin to feel the effects, it can be tough to rebound. Getting ahead of peak season allergens can help you breathe and sleep more easily, allowing you to feel better throughout the day. This guide to fall allergies and CPAP offers useful tips and steps you can take to get through allergy season breathing more freely and feeling more energetic.
If the effects of ragweed significantly trigger your allergies in the fall, it is worth considering medication. For some, this is the most immediate and effective way to combat allergic reactions. You can take the medication in the form of a pill or as an over-the-counter nasal spray. Keep in mind that certain antihistamines can cause drowsiness, so look for non-drowsy types if you plan to use them during the day. As always, it is important to talk to your practitioner before taking any medication to ensure antihistamines do not conflict with your therapy, any other prescriptions you may be taking or any other medical conditions you may have.
Replace or clean all reusable CPAP parts.
It is important to regularly replace CPAP components as they wear out over time from general use and exposure to moisture. Starting the fall off with fresh filters, tubing, and a new mask can go a long way in ensuring your CPAP therapy remains effective all season long.
If fall is approaching and you are not ready to replace these parts of your CPAP, consider giving them a good cleaning to extend their use. To wash out your mask and tubes, soak them in a tub using soap and three parts water mixed with one part vinegar.
Try a full face CPAP mask.
A common issue with using a CPAP machine while you are suffering from allergies is added congestion. If you have a stuffy nose, you may struggle to pull air through the mask and be forced to breathe through your mouth. When this happens, it may mean you are not getting enough air and, consequently, enough oxygen while you sleep. Although a full face mask may not be your preference, it will help ensure the air pressure keeps your airways open throughout the night.
Use a humidifier.
Some CPAP machines come equipped with built-in humidifiers, which can make a significant difference during allergy season. The warm, moist air created by a humidifier can alleviate nasal congestion and the dry, scratchy throat that allergies often cause. If your CPAP does not include a humidifier, consider investing in one — but be prepared to take care of it. Cleaning your humidifier and replacing the water every day will help prevent mineral build-up and malfunctions. Investing in a separate humidifier to place in often-used areas of your home, such as an office or living room, can also help you feel better during the day.
Do some seasonal house cleaning.
Given the volume of pollutants that can collect around the house — dust, pet dander, and mold, to name a few — the arrival of ragweed in the fall can exacerbate things. To reduce the chance of this, do a thorough cleaning periodically. By scrubbing, dusting, and sweeping your home from top to bottom, you can alleviate some of the common allergens that could be affecting your daily breathing.
Talk to your healthcare practitioner.
Your practitioner is an excellent resource for ideas to help you cope with your fall allergies. If you feel that your allergies are impacting your Sleep Apnea Therapy, do not wait to consult with your provider. Education is key to getting the most from your CPAP during allergy season so you can continue enjoying the benefits of treatment and live more comfortably.


title: Unlock the stock market from zero to hero with a demat account

text:
Investing in the stock market can be a daunting task, especially for beginners. With so many options and complexities involved, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. However, one tool that can help simplify the process and provide a secure way to hold your investments is a demat account. In this ultimate guide, we will explore what demat accounts are, how they work, and why they are essential for confident investing. Check more on Zomato share price before you invest in it.
A demat account, short for a dematerialized account, is an electronic account that holds all your securities in a digital format. It eliminates the need for physical share certificates and allows you to buy, sell, and hold various financial instruments like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in a secure and convenient manner. Know how to open demat account online?
To open a demat account, you need to approach a depository participant (DP), which could be a bank or a brokerage firm. They will guide you through the account opening process and help you complete the necessary paperwork. Once your account is open, you will receive a unique demat account number (DP ID) that will be used for all your transactions. Check more on Zomato share price before you invest in it.
One of the significant advantages of a demat account is the ease of trading. With just a few clicks, you can place buy and sell orders online, eliminating the need for physical paperwork and long queues. Additionally, demat accounts provide real-time access to market information, such as stock prices, historical data, and financial reports, empowering you to make informed investment decisions. Check how to open demat account online?
Another crucial benefit of demat accounts is the safety and security they offer. By holding your securities in electronic form, you eliminate the risk of loss, theft, or damage associated with physical certificates. Moreover, demat accounts are regulated by depository institutions like the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and the Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL), ensuring strict adherence to industry standards and safeguarding your investments. Check more on Zomato share price before you invest in it.
Demat accounts also facilitate seamless transfer of securities. Whether you want to gift shares to a family member, pledge them as collateral for a loan, or transfer them between different accounts, the process can be completed swiftly and efficiently through electronic means.
In addition to buying and selling securities, demat accounts offer a range of value-added services. These include options like systematic investment plans (SIPs) for mutual funds, dividend reinvestment plans (DRIPs), and initial public offering (IPO) applications. These services not only simplify investment processes but also enhance your overall investing experience. Check how to open demat account online.
While demat accounts come with numerous advantages, it’s crucial to understand the associated costs. DP charges, annual maintenance fees, and transaction fees are some of the expenses that you need to consider. However, with the increasing competition in the market, many DPs offer competitive pricing structures and value-added services, making demat accounts affordable and accessible to all.

title: How do i get over the fear of being wrong and the fear of failure

text:
This is a question that I was asked on Quora.com. I thought some of you might be interested in the issues this question raises.
Most of the answers that were given by others on Quora tended to focus on the reality that we all make mistakes and need to learn to accept that.
While this is a good response to this question, I, as an expert on emotions with two Amazon bestselling books, Emotions as Tools and Beyond Anger Management, would offer a bit different perspective.
The above question uses the word “fear” as it is commonly used i.e. “fear of being wrong” and “fear of failure”.
Unfortunately, both of these uses are incorrect because the emotion the writer is really referring to is anxiety.
I should mention that, for all intents and purposes, it doesn’t really matter which word you use. However, when you understand the difference between anxiety and fear, you enable yourself to master both emotions and the suggestions I make below will make more sense to you.
Fear is an in-the-moment emotion, the message of which is that you are perceiving a threat that will “kill” you unless you get out of that situation. Fear is the hair-on-the-back-of-your-neck raising up. The best response to fear is to get out of the situation. Too often, women, and sometimes men, experience fear but ignore it to their own peril. An example is when your feelings tell you the guy standing in the elevator is bad news eventhough he looks fine and has done nothing wrong. While you might be wrong about him, trust your feelings and take the next elevator.
Anxiety, on the other hand, is a future based emotion the message of which is that there might be a threat that might hurt me.
Notice in the question that the writer is concerned about what might happen if, at some future date, he (or she) is wrong or experiences “failure”. Both are future possibilities. If the writer were wrong or had failed when they were writing the question, they would have asked a different question.
So, let’s address the question.
The antidote to anxiety (fear of being wrong) is to ask two basic questions about what might happen in the future.
The first and most important question is this: If the worst possible outcome happens to me (however you define “worst” and “being wrong”), can I survive (however you choose to define “survive”) it?
If the answer is “I won’t like it but I could survive it”, then you no longer have to dwell on the issue and can move on to the second question.
By the way, there are very few situations in which you would not “survive” if you made a mistake. So, the answer to question #1 will usually be yes. Now, if you are talking about being wrong about whether or not the mushroom you are about to eat is poisonous or not, or whether you have chosen the right rope to repel down the side of a mountain, well it will be in your best interest to get more information before you make a decision.
Whether you could survive the future or not, question #2 becomes your next focus.
Question #2 is: What do I need to do, learn, or make happen in order to reduce the possibility of “being wrong” or “failing”.
I need to explain that there are two types of anxiety. The first is called distress and the second is called eustress.
Distress is disabling, focuses on the worst case scenario, and leads you to act as if this undesirable outcome is inevitable. It is distress that the writer is most likely referring to when he talks about the “fear of being wrong”.
Eustress is enabling, uses the same motivating energy of anxiety, and focuses on what you need to do to make the right decision. This is the energy my students use to motivate them to study for an upcoming exam. When you prepare for a future event, you no longer have to avoid it because you are now prepared for it.
So, if you are prepared for the future event and you can survive it if goes bad, you will no longer have a “fear of being wrong”. You may not like it, but you won’t be “afraid” of it.
Finally, let me give you a different definition of “failure”.
Most people think that “failure” is a destination. You either “succeed” and reach your goal or you “fail” and fall short.
This is a disabling definition as it only gives you two options-achieve your goal and label yourself a success or miss your goal and label yourself a failure. And, as all kinds of things can happen which delay or interfere with you reaching your goal, you are more likely to experience “failure” rather than a need to recalculate and redirect your attention.
A more adaptive definition of failure is to see it as a process or journey. As a process, failure is defined as “falling short Y times and getting up X times, where X > Y”. It is this definition the person who quoted Edison as saying: “I didn’t fail 1000’s of times to make a lightbulb. I found 1000’s of ways that didn’t work.” is referring to.
As long as you pick yourself up, learn from your mistakes, make the corrections you need to make, and move forward, you can’t fail. You only fail when you give up.
I hope that gives you, my readers, a bit different perspective on this question and I welcome your comments and feedback.

title: Conservatives furious at netflix for portraying alexander the great as gay

text:
"Netflix has a new documentary about Alexander the Great. In the first eight minutes, they make him gay." That's the conclusion of the influential X-account End Wokeness, with over two million followers. Much to the dismay of conservatives, Buck Braithwaite, portraying Alexander in the new film, kisses his co-star Will Stevens, who plays Alexander's childhood friend Hephaestion. While we may never know for sure, numerous historians believe that the two were more than just best friends. There are also other historical sources that do mention Alexander's interest in men.
However, conservatives on social media seem unconvinced. Moreover, they believe that this shouldn't be "shoved in viewers' faces within eight minutes." "He had a wife and children," another user on X comments, "they have an agenda."
While Alexander the Great indeed had children, the ancient Greeks did not have the concept of "homosexuality" or "bisexuality" as we understand it. Sexual relations between individuals of the same sex were not always taboo, as they became after the Christianization of Europe and the introduction of the term "sodomy." Furthermore, sexual pleasure at that time was often based on power dynamics and the roles of "receiver" versus "giver." The concept of "homosexuality" as a sexual orientation was introduced only in the nineteenth century.
Conservatives' reaction to the new Netflix film also sparks hilarity on X. "Buddy, have you ever looked into WHY olive oil was so popular with the Greeks and Romans?" one user remarks. Another cynically says, "I don't think it was Netflix that made this ancient Greek gay...", to which a user responds, "Oh! So it wasn't Hephaestion's hips!" Someone else tweets, "He didn't cry over his body for days for people to call him STRAIGHT..."


title: Edo 2024 why okpebholo was not allowed to address state house press

text:
The social media space has been awash with pictures of some leaders of Edo State All Progressive Congress, APC, who visited President Bola Tinubu on Friday. The leaders included the Party’s governorship candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, his running mate, Rt. Hon. Denis Idahosa, Senator Adams Oshiomhole and the Minister for Niger Delta Development Affairs, Hon. Abubakar Momoh and others. The APC media handlers have been making a feast out of the meeting pointing to the possibility that the president has decided to implement the “Operation Take Edo State By Force “ agenda.
However, investigation has shown why the candidate of the party failed to address the State House Press Corps after the meeting. Instead Senator Oshiomhole and Hon Momoh did.
According to a journalist covering the State House, they did not know how Senator Monday Okpebholo was smuggled out of the villa after the meeting because the journalists wanted to interview him.
Inquiries have revealed why the candidate of the APC was not allowed to address the state house press. According to a reliable source who craved anonymity, the reactions and directives by Mr President were responsible. The APC team came cap in hand begging for campaign funds and support of Mr President claiming that the courts will remove the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate, Dr Asue Ighodalo.
According to sources familiar with the development, Tinubu has so far not been forthcoming in regards to funding the Edo State APC campaigns because it was said that Senator Okpebholo was wealthy enough to fund his campaigns, which was part of the reasons the ticket was taken away from Hon. Dennis. Secondly, the source also said the president has been receiving unfavourable reports that Ighodalo was going to win the election with a landslide. The president is said to feel funding the election, which he wants to be free and fair, will amount to waste of funds.
The president, who the source said has been receiving reports of Senator Okpebholo’s public gaffes has not been impressed. He also noted that the sole dependency of the party on the disqualification of the PDP candidate as the route to winning the election is a miscalculation. He advised the leaders of the party that visited to up their game if they want any meaningful support from him.
The source claimed the president directed one of his top media aides to subtly inform the candidate to stop facing the press so as not to have a repetitions of the litany of embarrassments that are on the social media space. It was learnt the president told Senator Oshiomhole to show more commitment towards the election noting that there are complains that he and Idahosa, the deputy governorship candidate, were not really committed to the APC for the election, and that they cannot rely on the so called Federal Might.

PIR stands for Pyroelectic Infrared Radial Sensor or Passive Infrared Sensor.
PIR is an electronic sensor which detects the changes in the infrared light across certain distance and gives out an electrical signal at its output in response to a detected IR signal.
It can detect any infrared emitting object such as human beings or animals if it is the range of the sensor, or moves away from the range, or moves within the range of the sensor.
The PIR sensor module can be divided in to two parts an infrared sensitive crystal and the processing circuit.
- Easy to assemble
- 5V signal
- Adjustable sensitivity
- Compatible with most MCU or Development Board
Operating voltage: 5V'20V
Current consumption: 65 mA when it detects any change in the IR light.
Output Voltage: When the module detects infrared motion, the output is high at 3.3V, if the module detects no low motion or 0V after a fixed period.
Delay Time: A knob is provided to adjust the time so that the output remains high after IR is detected. This is the time period that can be adjusted from 5 to 5 minutes.
Sensitivity Range: The angle of the detection area is around 110 conical degrees. A knob is provided to adjust sensitivity; We can vary from 3 to 7 meters perpendicular to the sensor. Sensitivity is reduced by moving both sides of the sensor.
Operating temperature: The module has an impressive operating temperature ranging from -15 to + 70 degrees Celsius.
Quiescent current: Quiescent current is the current consumed by the supply, when the sensor detects no movement or when it is inactive. It consumes less than 50 uA, which makes the sensor battery friendly.
Trigger Modes: The PIR module has two trigger modes: Single Trigger Mode / No Repeat Mode and Repeat Trigger. These two modes can be accessed by changing the jumper position given on the module.
Single shot mode / no repeat mode: When the PIR sensor is set to single shot mode (and the timer / delay time button is set for 5 seconds (for example), when a human is detected, the output becomes high for 5 seconds and turns low.
Repeat trigger mode: When the PIR sensor is set to repeat trigger mode, when a human is detected, the output becomes high, the timer counts for 5 seconds, but when another human is detected in those 5 seconds, the timer resets to zero and counts another 5 seconds after second human is detected.
Blocking time: Blocking time is the time interval in which the sensor is deactivated or will not detect movement.
The module lock time is 3 seconds by default.
This occurs after the delay time (which was set by the timer knob) the output drops for 3 seconds; During this interval no movement will be detected.
After 3 seconds (low), the sensor will be ready to detect motion again. In other words, when the sensor detects movement the output goes high, the output remains high according to the timer knob (say 5 seconds), after 5 seconds the PIR sensor goes down, the low signal will stay for 3 seconds regardless of the new movement yes there is.
Module dimensions: the sensor is compact enough to hide it from the view of people so that it does not affect the decoration, etc. It measures 32mm x 24mm.
Lens size: The white dome structure that includes the pyroelectric sensor is called Fresnel lenses, which increases the detection range and looks opaque. It measures 23mm in diameter.
- 5 x PIR motion Sensor
- 5 x Velcro
- 5 x 4Pin Female to Male Jumper wire

title: Yorkshire ripper peter sutcliffe dies aged 74 its reported

text:
Peter Sutcliffe – the Yorkshire Ripper – has died, it has been reported.
Sutcliffe, aged 74, was convicted of killing 13 women in Yorkshire and the North West between 1975 and 1980.
It’s suspected he killed many more during his time as a lorry driver travelling the country.
Sutcliffe recently spent five nights in hospital with suspected heart problems.
On returning to HMP Frankland in County Durham, prison medics diagnosed him with Covid-19.
It’s reported he died in hospital after refusing treatment.
At the time a prison source told The Sun:
“The results were turned around quickly because of the danger of him spreading it.
“The worry for him is that he ticks so many of the danger categories for coronavirus.
“He is already in ill-health; he is overweight, and he is old.
“If things go downhill for him, it could be very, very serious.”
Sutcliffe’s first known victim was Wilma McCann in 1975 in Leeds.
Over the next five years he brought genuine fear to the streets of Britain.
Many women in Yorkshire refused to go out at night unless they were with someone.
Sutcliffe stalked the red light districts looking for victims.
Despite being interviewed several times during the police investigation he slipped through the net.
The police operation to catch Sutcliffe was seriously flawed.
At one-point senior officers believed the Ripper was “taunting” them by send letters and tapes to criticise not catching him.
However, the letters and recordings proved to be an elaborate hoax.
Sutcliffe was eventually caught in Sheffield in his car by a police sergeant and constable on beat patrol.
He was stopped for “acting suspiciously” and taken in for questioning.
Back at the station the police sergeant remembered that Sutcliffe asked to go for a wee when he was first spoken to.
Officers returned to the scene and found he’d hidden the tell-tale hammer used in a number of the murders.

The month-long moratorium imposed on YES Bank was evidence enough to believe that the stock would see tremendous volatility. During the day’s trade, YES Bank touched its new life-low of ₹5.55 a share–a drastic fall of 83.28% over its previous close and a wash-out of 94.33% compared to its 52-week high price of ₹285.9 on April 3 last year. The YES Bank stock closed the day at ₹16.2, a fall of 56% over Thursday’s close.
Compared to its Thursday’s close of ₹36.85 a share on the BSE, the stock opened at ₹33.2, which also remained its day’s high.
The crisis of confidence also rocked the BSE Bankex, which fell 5.3%, or 1,742 points, from the previous day close, to touch the day’s low of 31,392.3 points on Friday. India’s largest public sector bank State Bank of India (SBI), which has shown in-principle interest in investing in YES Bank, was not spared the hammering either.
Compared to the previous day’s close of ₹288.3, SBI’s share price fell 10.73% to touch the day’s low of ₹257.35. At close, SBI recovered marginally to close down 6.19% at ₹270.45.
The toxic cocktail of the YES Bank crisis and the rising number of coronavirus cases, which affected the global market sentiment, led to a fall of over 2.32% on the S&P BSE Sensex and 2.57% on the National Stock Exchange’s Nifty 50 at closing.
However, during trading hours the Sensex lost over 1,459 points or 3.79% at the day’s low of 37,011.09 points, and the Nifty 50, too, shredded over 441 points or 3.92% to touch the day’s low of 10,827.4 points.
According to Deepak Jasani, head, retail research at HDFC Securities, statements from corporate chieftains helped bring some stability to the free fall in the stock price of YES Bank. “But the collateral damage to the broader market expecting the second and third-degree impact of this event was to be seen to be believed,” he said.
In Jasani’s view, market participants now remember the IL&FS issue when a similar panic subsisted for some days, and the progress on recovery of money from the lender has been very slow so far. “However, YES Bank being a scheduled commercial bank, the situation of depositors is much stronger but the same cannot be said about the shareholders,” Jasani said.
On the markets at large, Jasani believes the sentiment could revive only if global markets settle down and fears of a global slowdown recede soon. On a similar note, Vinod Nair, head of research at Geojit Financial Services, says that the Friday sell-off in Indian equities was triggered by a weak global trend due to the coronavirus outbreak, restricting international travel and trade.
Nair also believes the YES Bank moratorium enlarged domestic concerns over the safety of the financial system and the Indian rupee too weakened past 74 levels due to these issues. “The bailout is a positive development, lowering long-term systemic problems, and will increase safety for depositors,” says Nair. “Market will be watchful about the final resolution to be offered by the RBI and SBI soon.

Did you people see the same film I saw?
An absolute waste of money
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I watched this show as I was a teenager and must say that if season 1 had a great potential, interesting characters, a sense of humor and great script, for some reason, I never got hooked. Season 2 took a direction that I didn´t like, with more science fiction and less psychology. I saw a few scenes of season 3 out of curiosity as I wanted to know if I should regret not having followed, and never regretted it. It is possible that this show would have deserved better as fans called for season 3.
I won't give out any spoilers. I think that even though this show ended in 2002 it is still amazing today and well worth the watch. I really recommend watching before forming any opinions. The show exceeded my expectations. I was very young when this show aired so i had no clue it existed. I really did enjoy it. I wish there had been more than 3 seasons. It would be awesome if they did a reunion season where they left off on season 3. I really got hooked on this show. I couldn't stop watching it. I finished all 3 seasons within one week. Everyone played there characters perfectly. I couldn't imagine someone else playing there parts. This show was revolutionary. There aren't very many shows like it that are very good.
it is not easy to say why I like it. maybe for the precise balance between love stories and Sci Fi. or for the smart script who gives to a teenager series new and special nuances. for the acting and for the tension. for the realistic special effects and for the links between characters. it is not an ordinary film because it propose an almost original vision. and because , despite few episodes, it is not exactly an action film but film of a story with universal value. the sensitivity, the delicacy, the science of detail, the performance of Jason Behr and his mates, the impression of life story are pillars for a series who not has as purpose to seduce but to remind old fashion questions. and the result is a good one.
At first, I thought it's gonna be something like Star Trek or Stargate. I patiently watched the show for 2 seasons to wait for something "exciting", but nope. Just a story of raging teenager hormones and some alien thingy as side dish. Imagine that, the show claims to carry the alien theme, yet the display of anything alien is so little to none. I still give it four instead of one because I was rather "excited" at the end of season 1 where alien enemy is revealed. Oh yeah, finally something alien that's not involved in face sucking or hormone related lover quarrels. But soon I become disappointed at how the story finally reverted back to hormones. At the end of season 2, I just couldn't take it anymore. I opened wikipedia to see how season 3 had in store for me, and yes, further disappointment. Lucky I haven't downloaded anything yet. For teenagers who crave to be "special" (as in dreaming of having special powers or the desire to be "important"), this show is just the thing to help you feel special or important. But to those who wishes to seek sci-fi or alien, my suggestion? move on to the next show. Hell, even V is way better than this.

Brooklyn Community Board 7 (CB7 website) is where we can have a voice in community-wide planning and government coordination. Applications are being accepted until February 19, 2024 for membership in our community board.
Application for 2024 community board:
Being a Community Board member is a 2-year commitment of a few hours a month. Most meetings are in the evening, and are generally held at the Community Board offices at 4201 4th Ave.
When we began organizing in Windsor Terrace to stop the proposed rezoning of Arrow Linen on
Prospect Avenue and the planned construction of two 13-story residential towers on the site, we really didn’t know our political representatives – Shahana Hanif, Antonio Reynoso, Community Board 7 and one of us knew Robert Carroll.
Our neighbors, have turned out in force to support this effort, and it’s clear that some of us would like to participate in planning the future of our communities. Our Community Board is a place where we can directly participate in the process of government and planning, and where we can have a say in issues affecting the quality of life in Windsor Terrace and South Slope.
Three of us already have applied for to join the Community Board, and one of us is already on the Land Use committee.

title: %ef%bb%bfcdc48 a power machine in protein degradation

text: Cdc48: a power machine in protein degradation. cyclenucleocapsid release and RNA replication. Our study establishes VCP as a common host factor with a broad antiviral potential against flaviviruses. IMPORTANCE Japanese encephalitis computer virus (JEV) is the leading cause of viral encephalitis epidemics in Southeast Asia, affecting mostly children, with high morbidity and mortality. Identification of host factors is thus essential for the rational design of antivirals that are urgently need as therapeutics. Here, we have recognized the valosin-containing protein (VCP) as one such host-factor. This protein is highly abundant in Piperazine citrate cells and engages in diverse functions and cellular pathways by its ability to interact with different cofactors. Using small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated protein knockdown, we show that this protein is essential for release of the viral RNA into the cell so that it can initiate replication. The protein plays a second crucial role for the formation of the JEV replication complex. FDA-approved drugs targeting VCP show enhanced mouse survival in JE model of disease, suggesting that this could be a druggable target for flavivirus infections. comprises 53 computer virus species with nearly Piperazine citrate 30 viruses of medical importance (1). Its users, such as Japanese encephalitis computer virus (JEV), dengue computer virus (DENV), yellow fever computer virus (YFV), West Nile computer virus (WNV), and Zika computer virus, pose a significant threat to human health across the world (2). Urbanization, transportation, and climate switch have led to an expansion of the flavivirus horizon, which makes them viruses of global relevance. No Rabbit polyclonal to A1AR antivirals are currently available against any of the flaviviruses. Understanding the computer virus life cycle and the role of the host proteins in computer virus replication will significantly assist in this direction. All flaviviruses share common features of a 50-nm enveloped particle with an 11-kb-long, positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome that is packaged with the help of a capsid protein. Once the computer virus enters a host cell by receptor-mediated endocytosis, the genome is usually released as the RNA-protein complex (RNP). The viral RNA is usually translated into a single polypeptide with the help of the host machinery and is processed by the host and viral proteases to make three structural (envelope, E; precursor membrane protein, prM; capsid, C) and seven nonstructural proteins (NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, NS5) (3, 4). Viruses are known to hijack the cell machinery for their life cycle (3). The flaviviral RNA replication takes place on endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-derived vesicles and is accomplished with the help of numerous viral (NS1, NS4A, NS3, NS5, etc.) and host factors (for example, DDOST, hnRNPk, RPL19, RPS3, IPO9, GRP78, LC3I, PTB, etc.) (5,C9). The computer virus life cycle is usually greatly dependent on the host membrane trafficking network for access and egress. It also requires considerable membrane rearrangements, such as the formation of replication factories at the ER and transportation in a membranous structure for egress (10, 11). To identify the host factors involved in the JEV life cycle, we previously carried out a small interfering RNA (siRNA) screen for the membrane trafficking genes (12, 13). Valosin-containing protein (VCP)/p97 was identified as a crucial host factor involved in JEV replication. VCP is usually a member of the AAA+ family of ATPase proteins with diverse cellular activities. The VCP monomer has three domains; the N domain name interacts with the various adaptors and substrates, and D1 and D2 are the ATPase domains. The protein functions in a homohexameric state Piperazine citrate wherein six monomers come together to form a barrel-like structure (14). VCP is usually a known segregase protein that recognizes ubiquitin signature on the target protein directly.

The technologist will also provide you with an alarm button to alert the technologist of any discomfort you may experience at any point during the MRI exam.


title: Miles to go

text:
PRIME Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s budget for the present fiscal year has whipped up seething anger against his administration at home but won him a $7bn package from the IMF to temporarily shore up an embattled economy.
An IMF statement says that it has reached a staff-level agreement with Pakistan on a 37-month Extended Fund Facility. Islamabad will be able to access these funds once the deal is approved by the IMF Executive Board, which is contingent upon “the timely confirmation of necessary financing assurances from Pakistan’s bilateral development partners” [read: China]. The programme “aims to capitalise on the hard-won macroeconomic stability achieved over the past year by furthering efforts to strengthen public finances, reduce inflation, rebuild external buffers, and remove economic distortions to spur private sector led growth”.
While it was relatively easy for the government to cross the first bridge towards the agreement by imposing exceedingly painful direct and indirect taxes on the urban middle classes, the new programme targets will continue to test its commitment to reforms over the life of the deal.
For starters, the IMF wants the authorities to go after the under-taxed sectors and properly tax exporters, retailers and agriculturists to continue fiscal consolidation and increase tax revenues through measures contributing to 3.5pc of GDP. The current budget already aims to raise tax revenues by 1.5pc of GDP to meet the programme goal of 1pc primary surplus this year.
Another contentious condition relates to the abolition of agricultural support prices, especially for the staple wheat crop, and associated subsidies. It is pertinent to recall how farmers came out to protest after wheat prices plummeted sharply when the state did not purchase their surplus. The statement indicates that the government has also agreed to phase out incentives to Special Economic Zones, and refrain from new regulatory and tax-based incentives, or any guaranteed returns that could distort the investment landscape, including for projects channelled through the army-led SIFC, to create a level playing field for all businesses. How it will affect SIFC efforts to lure investment from ‘friendly’ countries is anybody’s guess.
Other programme goals — periodic power and gas price adjustment, SOE governance reforms and privatisation, transfer of more fiscal responsibility to the provinces, and market-based monetary and exchange rate policies — actually represent the unfinished agenda of the previous programmes. The agreement has indeed provided much-needed breathing space to the government, but it has also created serious political challenges for it.
While most reforms agreed with the Fund are the need of the hour for future debt sustainability, others are going to seriously impact economic growth and fresh investments, at least in the short term. The country’s finance team must feel relief after clinching the deal. But they should remember that it has just kicked the can a little further down the road. The challenges facing the economy will compound soon if this relief is not turned into an opportunity.

title: Ed includes kavitha in 7th charge sheet of excise case says next update within a week

text:
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has intensified its investigation into the Delhi excise policy probe by filing a fresh charge sheet, marking the seventh in the ongoing case. The latest development involves the naming of K Kavitha, a prominent leader of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and daughter of former Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, as an accused. This move comes amidst a series of arrests and legal actions surrounding the alleged conspiracy related to the Delhi excise policy 2021-22.
K Kavitha’s involvement in the case dates back to her arrest on March 16 from her residence in Hyderabad. The ED’s actions gained momentum as they also apprehended Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on March 21 in connection with the same case. However, Kejriwal has not been named in the latest charge sheet, indicating a separate supplementary charge sheet expected to be filed against him by next week.
The federal agency’s probe revolves around allegations of a conspiracy involving Kavitha, Kejriwal, and former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia to favor a South Group of businessmen and politicians under the Delhi excise policy. It is alleged that AAP leaders received substantial bribes from this group, with Kejriwal purportedly utilizing a significant portion of these funds in AAP’s election campaign in Goa in 2022.
The charge sheet against Kavitha has been filed under relevant sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), adhering to the stipulated period of 60 days from her arrest. The court is set to review the charge sheet’s cognizance on May 13, marking a critical phase in the legal proceedings.
Other individuals named in the charge sheet include Chanpreet Singh, allegedly involved in managing AAP’s funds sourced from kickbacks during the Goa assembly elections, along with Damodar Prasad Sharma, Prince Kumar, and Arvind Kumar Singh. These individuals were previously named in a charge sheet filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is conducting a parallel corruption probe into the excise policy.
The ED’s investigation has so far led to 18 arrests, including prominent figures like Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, and Kavitha. The agency has filed multiple charge sheets against 34 individuals and entities, presenting substantial evidence in court to support their allegations in the excise policy probe.
An ED officer emphasized that K Kavitha played a pivotal role in orchestrating a deal with Kejriwal and Sisodia, facilitating kickbacks through intermediaries to influence policy decisions in favor of the South Group. The alleged conspiracy involved complex financial transactions aimed at concealing the involvement of political leaders.
The South Group, comprising businessman Sarath Reddy, politician Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy, and K Kavitha, secured significant benefits under the Delhi excise policy, raising concerns about the fairness and transparency of the policy formulation process. The ED’s investigation sheds light on alleged kickbacks amounting to ₹100 crore, advanced to AAP leaders, with implications on governance and electoral integrity.
