Periods. They have been a monthly occurrence during the reproductive lives of most people with ovaries since the beginning of time, and yet talking about them still seems taboo and embarrassing. But not talking about them doesn’t stop them from occurring, and lack of these conversations along with insufficient availability of period hygiene products could be hurting our students.
“We all know that life is full of unexpected events, some positive, some not-so-much. For our female students here (in Orange County Schools), not expecting your menstrual cycle to start when you’re at school can be in the not-so-much category. The embarrassment and humiliation of that experience and the stress of trying to find the supplies they need is anxiety no young woman needs, especially in that (school) environment,” says Trish LaCharite, who along with Sandy Parks created the Lake Nona Snap Bag Project. Trish had seen a social media post where a teacher had filled small zipper bags with feminine hygiene products and placed those bags in a basket near her classroom door so her students could simply stop by if they had an emergency while at school and needed supplies. “They could just take a bag and go. No need to ask, no embarrassment and no humiliation, it was discreet. I simply loved this idea and felt it was a great way to empower our young women to take control of their situation. So, I embarked on getting this into our more needy schools in Orange County,” LaCharite explained.
What Trish did not know at the time is just how important having access to these supplies really is. Advocates say the issue goes beyond stigma, that lack of access can affect the quality of education as well. A recent study found that 4 in 5 menstruating teens said they have either missed class time, or know someone who missed class time, because they did not have access to period products.
Currently, 17 states in the United States have legislation requiring public schools to have FREE access to period products, Florida is not one. 66% of Florida’s public-school children qualify for free or reduced-price school lunch; yet State and Federal programs, such as SNAP (food stamps) and WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children), don’t cover menstrual supplies, making having access to these products even more important in the school systems. Two different bills have been introduced into Florida legislation that would require our schools to allocate money for period products in the same manner they do soap and toilet paper; but neither to date has passed. That is why community outreach and projects like Trish and Sandy’s are so important.
Knowing what a difference they could make, Trish and Sandy, both avid sewers, quickly drew up a pattern to create their own version of the bags they had seen in the video but a more economical option with a snap. Together with a group of fellow sewers (Diana Nelkin, Phyllis Tanner and Kathy Krieger), they got to work cutting out fabric they all had laying around from previous projects and sewing them all together. And so, the Lake Nona Snap Bag Project had begun. But what good was the bag without the products?
Each bag is filled with two maxi pads, two tampons, two pantiliners and two cleansing wipes … enough supplies to get a student through the school day. They originally set a goal to make 1,000 bags and then reached out to local friends, neighbors and even did a drive at Club Pilates Lake Nona to collect donations to make it happen. But word got out, and the demand from the schools came rolling in. Since August 2022, the Lake Nona Snap Bag Project has distributed 2,365 bags to 23 different elementary, middle and high schools around Orange County. The supplies they dropped off at the beginning of the year are now gone, and those schools as well as new schools are begging for more snap bags!
“Having snap bags at East River High School is such an amazing blessing. Thanks to the generous donation, we can provide much-needed feminine hygiene products to our students in a dignified and discreet way. We are empowering our young women and making it easier for ALL our girls to have access. It truly makes a difference,” stated Becky Watson, principal of East River High School.And now you can make a difference, too. The Lake Nona Snap Bag Project has started a GoFundMe page where you can donate to help keep the work they are doing going! It costs approximately $1.50 to make and fill each bag. Even a small donation can make a difference.

Preparing food from vibrant, seasonal ingredients not only nourishes us at the highest level, it also takes the chore out of cooking and helps to build the creative spirit within us.
Seasoned with Gratitude includes a wealth of whole-food recipes, from breakfasts through desserts, each accompanied by a blessing or teaching of gratitude. You’ll discover relationships between the energy of a plant or animal and ourselves; explore nutritional benefits that renew health and wholeness; and learn about sustainable food sources while avoiding marketing myths about food.
Seasoned with Gratitude: 250 Recipes & Blessings encourages a return to remembering the sacredness of life, and to honoring the earth and all her inhabitants. You’ll be reminded that to eat is the everyday necessity that insists that life and death meet one another in order for nourishment to take place, and that we are all participants in this transformation—that no food comes to us without this conversation occurring.
My experiences as a chef, caterer, herbalist, homemaker, intuitive healer, and health coach have given me a unique perspective that I hope will inspire a renewed interest in cooking and gratitude for all that is given.

After the fun of the Talyllyn steam train experience, I decided “Why not do a larger one up into Snowdonia?” So I did! I took the Mountain Spirit train up to the quarry town of Blaenau Ffestiniog. The first part of the journey was getting to Porthmadog, from whence the train departs.
I got to Porthmadog early enough to grab some breakfast. I walked some ways to a place I thought was in the direction of the station, had a lovely breakfast, but realized halfway through the meal that I had mistaken which station to depart from. The two were on opposite ends of town. Fortunately, it’s a pretty small town! But I had to quick-step, which diminished my enjoyment of the really cute little town of Porthmadog.
Although it is very pretty, rhododendron is NOT native to North Wales, and has become a tremendous problem. It is poisonous and spreads thickly and quickly.
An absolutely delightful day. I met a lovely couple and their very good baby, got in lots of walking in Porthmadog (although I did not have the wherewithal to go to the Purple Moose Brewery, my one regret of the day). But as always, lovely to get home to my little cottage on the rail and the sea.

Gioacchina Zito Coloring Pages Kids, 2018-01-20 20:21:25. With online printable coloring pages you never have to keep volumes of coloring books around. Most children change what they would like to color often. They bounce around from one theme or one set of characters to the next. Therefore they may abandon that coloring book with princesses or cars days after you buy it. Printing out the pages though allows them to always get what they want.

Isotta Padovesi Coloring Pages Kids, 2018-01-20 20:21:25. All types of alphabet coloring pages available over the internet are an extension of Preschool Alphabet activities and crafts work. They have been designed in such ways that create interest in the minds of children. Simply teaching the preschools with boring alphabets may have negative impact on them. They may not find things interesting and may feel that you go too strict with them when they cannot pronounce or write the letters or able to relate to objects or things that start with the any alphabet initially. For instance they may find it difficult to remember tough words like ‘H for Horse or House or Home.‘ You may think it is silly, but remember they are small kids, what is easy for you may not be easy for them.
Ella Fallaci Coloring Pages Kids, 2018-01-20 20:21:25. Online printable coloring sheets though can be quickly delivered at the reception desk. That will reduce the anxiety for kids as they wait. It also enables the parents to be able to talk with other adults and not have so many interruptions. Sometimes online printable coloring pages can be offered for educational themes, holidays, or even coloring contests.

The alphabets from the printed pages can be cut into basic shapes too to make homemade puzzles for making study of alphabets more interesting.
Rosita Lettiere Coloring Pages Kids, 2018-01-20 20:21:25. Do you wish to imbibe in your child values and morality that makes us good human beings? Then definitely you have to tell him fables, tales and also Biblical stories. Children do have a tendency to fall in love with God immediately as they are angels and they are innocent who understands the language of love, kindness and mercy of God. For that off course you don‘t have to buy Biblical images or images of God, Jesus, Holy Cross, Mother Mary and similar images. The Bible coloring pages will bring forth numerous images related to Bible and popular fables.

Queer Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar‘s latest flick is a mad-scientist thriller called La Piel Que Habito (a.k.a. The Skin I Live In). Now open in New York and L.A.—with more cities to come—it gives filmgoers a rollicking good two hours of total disturbance.
The film is adapted from Thierry Jonquet‘s 2003 novel Mygale (Tarantula), about an off-the-hinges plastic surgeon (early Almodovar discovery Antonio Banderas) who develops a synthetic super-skin for a woman he’s kidnapped. Why? Well, that’s where the subplots come in and, not to get too spoilery, it involves a gruesome revenge fantasy for the rape of his daughter.

While this 20th book, Insidious, was better than , either the books have changed or I have changed and that magic that made me look forward to the latest book in this series every summer is gone. What I do miss in this series is the lack of romance between the characters. Her dog then begins to bark into the darkness, where an ominous face peers back at her. This one is not terrifically good, but moviegoers will get what they're expecting. The mysteries get solved so no complaints there, but this book was something of a disappointment. There were a few minor irritations - Coulter apparently doesn't know that when you call 911 on your cell phone it doesn't go through to the local police station nor does the caller's address show up at dispatch. I liked it but just felt it could have been so much better.
She's seen these cases before. As Quinn goes to observe the window, the demon grabs Quinn and tries to pull her over the ledge. After Savich and Sherlock visit with her, someone attempts to shoot her in broad daylight. My Thoughts: I have read this series from the very beginning and always liked agents Sherlock and Savich. There are two mysteries and they both kept me guessing.
The demon becomes more visible: a corpse of a burn victim with a breathing mask, who makes a rattling noise. I really miss it and am devastated that it's gone, probably for good. Carl reassures her that she is much stronger than she believes because she is a living being. Cam teams up with Daniel Montoya to break through this case. They first begin with Renai, hearing the piano playing and the baby chair making noises, and moving back-and-forth.
After defeating him, Josh enters the Demon's lair, where he finds Dalton chained to the floor. There, she sees something on the ceiling and describes it to one of her men, who draws it. It's the kind of house you require for a haunting movie, with lots of rooms, nooks, crannies, corridors, staircases, closets and shadows — and an attic, of course. Let us know what you thought of the film in the comment section below. With this book, the reader gets two full stories in one book, both of which are compelling with surprising twists and turns.
It is the first installment in the , and the third in terms of the series' in-story chronology. With this information, they understand what they're really dealing with, and head home to tranquillise Josh who's inhabited by Parker Crane's spirit , in order to get into him out of Josh. They work well together but even so, more actresses die before they find the killer. After Savich and Sherlock visit with her, someone attempts to shoot her in broad daylight. She calls out to Josh, but receives no answer. Yes, Venus, the 86 year old is a neat character, but Coulter's habit of changing point of view whenever it suits her bothered me. Within a wealthy and powerful societal family, someone has attempted to murder Venus Rasmussen, the 86 year young matriarch and keeper of the keys of their decades old conglomerate.
So, any new romance comes from secondary characters. While this investigation is going on, there is another story within this story. As a retired Juvenile Court Probation Officer, I knew many detectives and they just didn't talk in that style. It delivers on a two front mystery and the characters are well drawn and likeable, but it is so hard to review the book knowing tha I'm really bummed by this book. She picks up the camera that Elise used from the floor, and screams. Sometime later, as Dalton is playing, he hears noises in the attic and goes to investigate.
The Lambert family moves in with Lorraine, to try and get away from the things which they experienced in the first film. For the third chapter, Focus Features has drastically mixed up the formula, taking audiences back in time before the Lambert storyline for a prequel that follows franchise heroine Elise, directed by Insidious series co-writer Leigh Whannell. Whannell with story by Mr. This one… not so much. The second storyline involves a serial killer whose victims are Hollywood starlets.
There are two separate investigations going on with two separate teams and, yet, you have no problem at all following both. Elise puts Josh in a trance and he is able to project himself to their previous house. This gives one the feeling of drinking too much coffee too late and then picking up an exciting book and getting all jittery. The book contains two distinct and separate cases involving different Agents with only very minimal contact as the lower-ranked Agent occasionally checks in with I knew this book was part of a series when I chose it but I didn't realise it was book 20! Josh is a teacher, Renai writes songs and young Dalton is the most curious of the kids. When her father gives her abell in her room to ring when she is in need of something, she gets woken up by the sound of the bell ringing by itself. They close their eyes; the camera zooms in on Josh's face, serene and beginning to forget. .
When her father gives her abell in her room to ring when she is in need of something, she gets woken up by the sound of the bell ringing by itself. Specifically as to this book, what I really noticed was tha Review originally posted at After 20 books, I am officially breaking up with this series. Many dips and twists I was intrigued throughout the story. Parker's yelling - saying his name's Parker. He and Sherlock come to her aid in discovering the culprit and motive. Three months later, still in a coma, they bring Dalton home to care for him there. So, any new romance comes from secondary characters.
Lorraine goes into the bathroom, and is locked in, and sees a lady. Whannell, with the latter trio reprising their roles from the first two movies in the franchise. Since these elements were previously two of her greatest storytelling strengths among a long list of traits in her writing allure, the lack of them significantly impacts my reading experience. On another night, she hears a bumping noise on the wall, which she assumes to be a sound made by her neighbor. During the peak of her writing prowess, splurging to buy her new releases asap because waiting for a library copy was too torturous for my need to read C Conscientiously read to page 100, then skimmed to page 200 before stopping. The characters are very much well-developed and highly inspired from real-life characters. This version of Quinn is revealed to be the half of Quinn's soul that the demon controls.

Its been a promising year for the stock markets, with most of the blue chip stocks yielding 14-20% returns in 2014. Some of it has to do with the feel good factor of having a PM & a team who at least communicate their schemes and plans to set right the impasse at the center, and the rest due to the dire straights that most of the developed economies, including China finds itself in today. With more and more dollars being circulated, it is but normal that all this paper money needs some place safe to hang out in, and one such location seems to be our Indian Markets.
My own mutual Fund investments, which I commenced in 2013 have been yielding a healthy 20% returns in the past year and I am not complaining at all. Well, to most of us who dabble in the equity markets, it is a pain to keep track of daily fluctuations of individual stocks and outright collapse at times, and this is where creating a portfolio basket of equity schemes within a mutual fund helps. I have currently built a portfolio basket within UTI Mutual fund as follows:
UTI-BALANCED FUND - DIRECT PLAN - DIVIDEND
UTI-BANKING SECTOR FUND- REGULAR PLAN - DIRECT PLAN - DIVIDEND
UTI-EQUITY FUND - DIRECT PLAN - DIVIDEND
UTI-PHARMA & HEALTHCARE FUND - DIRECT PLAN - DIVIDEND
UTI-INDIA LIFESTYLE FUND - DIRECT PLAN - DIVIDEND
UTI-MID CAP FUND - DIRECT PLAN - DIVIDEND
UTI-MNC FUND - DIRECT PLAN - DIVIDEND
UTI-NIFTY INDEX FUND - DIRECT PLAN - DIVIDEND
UTI-OPPORTUNITIES FUND - DIRECT PLAN - DIVIDEND
Each of the above are pure equity investments with its yearly (hopefully) Dividend payout transferred to my bank account. This way, I have ensured a steady cash flow to my account and at the same time the principal that I have invested grows steadily over a period of time in the market. The diversified portfolio also means that if one or two sectors suffers a fall, the rest should help balance this. Even now, in this portfolio, there are outright star performers like the MNC fund and the Transport & Logistics fund, that are running at close to 100% returns in one year, to their poorer cousins like the NSE Index fund and the Equity fund which are giving me a mere 5-10% returns.
The idea that I am trying to present above is that equity investments are not a devil, but a necessity in one's portfolio, if one needs to gain financial independence in the coming years. It is mandatory to have equities as a percentage of your overall investments thus helping your assets grow due to stellar returns over a medium to long term. If anything, Equities are the turbo chargers for your investments. They are also subject to collapse and dreadful returns if the idea is to get short term returns, and hence this should form a part of your longer term investment strategy only. In pursuing this portfolio, one website that has been of real help in doing analysis has been moneycontrol.com. You could go through the Mutual Funds listed there, their individual schemes, the NAV, their returns and even compare how these funds are performing in comparison to their peers from other Mutual Funds. This gives you a guidance on the schemes that have performed consistently over the years, especially those that have ridden against the recessionary tides of 2008-2011.
After one has built a portfolio, it is also essential to keep modifying it from time to time after reviewing the returns that they are providing you. It is important that your returns cross 10% year on year compounded, without which any equity investment would not be worth it in an Indian context. Hence re-balancing one's portfolio is a continuous process that one needs to do at least every quarter. So, as a start, do consider mutual fund investments with monthly investments of small sums so that you are not stuck in situations like entering the market at its peak and then losing a decade to reclaim the sum invested! Hence periodic small investments would balance out any peaks or troughs that are typical of any equity investment cycle.

Akhil Akkineni is currently shooting for the second film of his career which is being directed by Vikram K Kumar. Titled ‘Hello’, the film is being produced by Akhil’s father, Akkineni Nagarjuna under their home banner Annapurna Studios. ‘Hello’ will mark the debut of Kalyani Priyadarshan, daughter of ace Malayalam filmmaker Priyadarshan. The shooting of the film is currently progressing in and around Hyderabad and buzz is that the film will have another actress who will make her debut. Buzz in the industry is that newcomer Nivedhithaa Sathish will also be a part of the cast and will be making her Telugu debut.
Nivedhithaa is part of the Jyothika starrer Magalir Mattum in Tamil which is hitting the screens this Friday and that convinced the makers to rope her in. “Nivedhithaa will be playing one of the female leads in the film. She was zeroed in on after an audition a couple of months ago. Since she has already performed well in the upcoming Tamil film Magalir Mattum, the makers were happy with her experience and roped her in,” a report in DC quoted a source.
This romantic entertainer will have some hefty technicians working on it including stunt director from Hollywood. Earlier, it was being reported that Bollywood actress and a popular name in Tollywood circles, Tabu would be part of ‘Hello’, however the makers have denied any such developments. With his first film not doing great, Akhil would have his hopes pinned on his second film and will look to make it big in Tollywood.

The price of Texas intermediate oil (WTI) rose 0.2% this Thursday and closed at US$79.05 a barrel, driven by the unexpected drop in commercial crude oil reserves in the United States, in the absence of other movement factors.
At the close of business on the New York Mercantile Exchange (nymex), WTI futures contracts for October delivery added $0.16 from the previous day.
Texas started the day in red, but finally recovered part of what was lost the day before.
He US Government reported a 6.1 million barrel weekly drop in commercial stocks yesterday, more than double what was expected, adding to the bullish factor amid market jitters.
Investors are awaiting the speech that will be offered tomorrow by the president of the Federal Reserve (Fed), Jerome Powell, at the Jackson Hole Wyoming central bankers meeting), where he is expected to discuss the path of interest rates.
Apart from that, analysts pointed to recent economic data reflecting a slowdown in growth in the economies of the US, the eurozone, Japan or the United Kingdomwhich adds to the concern about the situation in China.
On the other hand, natural gas futures contracts for October rose US$0.04 to US$2.63, and gasoline futures due the same month rose US$0.02 to US$2.58.


Power Quality Monitoring data can be used to detect and identify potential problems either before equipment begins to fail or before it fails completely.
Symptoms recorded by PQ monitors can indicate impending failures.
This allows preemptive action to prevent major disturbances, equipment or conductor failures, customer outages, and complaints.
Predictive power monitoring requires longer term monitoring of systems and equipment performance to establish a “normal operation” baseline for future comparison.
These baselines can be used to detect trends and changes over time as well as alarms sent when measured data crosses these normal boundaries.
When using predictive monitoring, you want the monitor to be as close to the load as possible.
The closer the monitor is to the load, the better the baseline can be established.
When multiple loads are being monitored, the ranges measured can have greater variation.

text: Bitcoin's value has increased more than 26% in less than three weeks, writes Bloomberg. An anonymous reader quotes their report: Bitcoin topped $8,000 for the first time, as investors set aside technology concerns that had derailed its advance earlier this month. Bitcoin rose 4.8 percent to $8,071.05 as of 7:17 a.m. Sydney time on Monday. It's now up more than 700 percent this year after shrugging off a tumble of as much as 29 percent earlier this month. It's been a tumultuous year for the largest cryptocurrency, with three separate slumps of more than 25 percent in value all giving way to subsequent rallies.

A UK scholar and expert on Gothic Imperial architecture has slated the Anglican Church decision to demolish quake-crippled ChristChurch Cathedral.
Academic Alex Bremner wrote extensively about the cathedral, built by famed English architect Sir George Gilbert Scott, in his book Imperial Gothic.
The senior lecturer in architectural history at the University of Edinburgh, and Gates Cambridge alumnus, has criticised Anglican Diocese of Christchurch plans to create a new cathedral after the original's spire was snapped in the February 2011 quake.
Dr Bremner says the cathedral is "far more than just a building" because it was originally built as a memorial to the city's establishment as a dedicated Anglican colony in the South Sea.
In a scathing commentary published yesterday, he compares the cathedral to St Peter's basilica in Rome: "Both buildings embodying the social, civic and architectural heritage and identity of their respective cities."
Anglican Bishop Victoria Matthews last year announced plans to deconstruct the damaged cathedral to a "safe level" of 2-3 metres above the ground.
The decision sparked public protests and a group, Great Christchurch Buildings Trust (GCBT), led by former MP Jim Anderton, have taken the church to the High Court to reverse the move.
Justice Lester Chisholm halted demolition work last November after ruling its future is "legitimately in the public arena" and "plainly a matter of intense public interest".
The Church Property Trustees released three design options for a future cathedral earlier this year, which included restoration, a timber replacement, or a contemporary design - which the church says it prefers.
The church's desire for a new building is "depressing", Dr Bremner writes.
He is especially amazed by the stance given that some engineering reports say it can be saved and rebuilt for "not much more than the proposed new building".
"For most civic authorities and governments around the world it would be a no-brainer as to what to do under these circumstances - saving an historic monument of this stature would not have required a second thought. Unfortunately, not so in New Zealand," he says.
"One can only hope that the short-termism, philistinism and, indeed, vandalism that have reigned supreme in Christchurch over these past few years are not allowed to continue in this very important task of preserving and rebuilding Christchurch cathedral."
Whether the 132-year-old building should remain standing is not entirely the decision of the present bishop of Christchurch, or the civic authorities, Dr Bremner says.
"They are merely custodians of this heritage, not arbiters of its fate.
"For them to assume that they have any such right as arbiters in this respect is arrogance in the extreme, and if they should choose to exercise that unfounded right then history will judge them harshly."
If the battle to save the building from demolition fails, and it does come down, it will be "a grim day for anyone who cares about the history and heritage of the built environment, the world over".
"If it does happen, then ignorance and cynicism will be seen to have won the day," he said.

We got a chance to film the launch party for Skullcandy’s “Koston” headphones at evo in Seattle, Washington. They opened the indoor skatepark that is nestled under evo for the event, and that was followed by a private party in the shop… drinks, food, cameo by Steve Aoki, it was a good time.

I was a little concerned it my Ipad 2 would fit with the magnetic cover on it, since it didn't say in the description if it would or not. It fits perfect, like the extra zip pocket in the front for the cord, plus the blue trim matches my magnetic blue cover pretty well, and coult not have asked for a better price. Will check your site out anytime I need anything like this, Thanks.

As we enter the fourth year of the ESRF’s Extremely Brilliant Source (EBS) project, it is clear that 2018 will mark a turning point. By the end of the year, the procurement and assembly phases will be complete, and on 10 December, the current ESRF’s last beam will fade away. That will signal the end of an era for users, but the beginning of an intense phase of dismantling and installation for the EBS project team.
Behind the scenes, the last three years have seen a lot of groundwork: the conceptual design, and the engineering and procurement of thousands of individual, state-of-the-art components that make up the new storage ring. Today, the huge deliveries of magnets, the mushrooming of buildings on-site and the first fully assembled EBS girders are all visual reminders of the progress being made. This is generating excitement and pride both for the project team and for the wider ESRF community.

As the U.S. moves toward broad adoption of real-time payments (RTP) next year with the deployment of FedNow, it can learn a lot from the UK’s implementation of real-time payments.
A recent webinar featuring Miriam Sheril, Head of Product at Form3’s U.S. division, Connie Blacklock, EMEA Head of Real Time Payments at J.P. Morgan, and Steve Murphy, Director of Commercial and Enterprise Payments at Javelin Strategy & Research, shed light on what banks should consider when it comes to real-time payments, the vast differences on what the space looks like in the U.S. compared with other regions, and what the payments industry can expect in 2023.
Differences Between U.S. and U.K. Payments Ecosystems
The U.S. and U.K have some important differences between their financial systems, which U.S. banks need to keep in mind. In the U.K.’s faster payments system, for example, payments appear to move in real time, but settlement between banks actually happens only a few times per day. That’s different than the U.S., where on real -time payment networks, settlement happens immediately.
The U.K is also looser about who it allows to tap into its real-time payments system, allowing using bank intermediaries to access the network. “In the UK, you can be a financial institution that doesn’t have a banking license, but you can actually still participate in the scheme,” Sheril explained. In contrast, “The US has some pretty strict rules confirming that there are no intermediaries allowed. If you’re a bank, you need to directly participate in RTP or FedNow.”
Allowing non-banks access to the real-time network can lead to innovation. “It really opened up the market for UK Faster Payments when the Bank of England changed the [participation] rules in 2017,” Blacklock said. “It really helped open doors in the market.” It is unknown whether this may happen in the future in the U.S.
Move to Real-Time Payments Involves Resilience and Availability
As banks start planning for the rollout of real-time payments in the U.S., they should not focus solely on the technical aspects. According to Blacklock, banks should focus not just on getting the payments right but also on transaction reporting and operational considerations.
“It’s easy to think about reporting as an afterthought because you’re so focused on the payment processing, but reporting is what gets you your data,” said Blacklock. “And it’s what clients need to make their businesses run. Definitely put reporting as a top agenda in terms of your planning.”
Another key focus should be on resiliency and stability. Because real-time payments occur instantaneously, a blip in the system can wreak havoc. With a real-time payments system, the lack of time lag reduces the room for error. In a few seconds, millions of transactions can drop or fail, and it is impossible to manually replay all the transactions. Thus, whatever can be automated in error recovery should be.
It’s also important that U.S. banks align their teams for this upcoming transition to real-time payments. This includes making sure that everyone involved is familiar with how real-time payments work, what the cloud is, and how application programming interfaces (APIs) work.
Banks will need to focus on staffing for a 24/7 payments ecosystem and look ahead for any particular challenges that may arise. Sheril listed some specific concerns she heard from banking executives, including:
- “My operations team don’t work 24/7, how will we adjust?”
- “With reconcilement, how will those reports work? Because now I have a 24/7, no-end-of-day process, and what does that even look like?”
Murphy agreed that the people aspect of implementing real-time payments will be more significant than the technological aspect. “A while back, we interviewed about six or seven of the largest banks who had implemented RTP in some way, shape, or form,” he said. “And what they said was that the operational piece was much more challenging. The technology piece was a challenge, but on a scale of one to ten, it was probably more like a five or six.”
Blacklock also underscored the importance of planning for exponential growth in RTP. “Don’t be naive and think that your volumes are going to stay low, because again, fingers crossed for everyone who is choosing to go into RTP, you’re going to see high volumes and you’ve got to have your systems ready to do that,” she said.
RTP and Fraud
In many ways, fraudsters are benefiting from real-time payments, as they leave no time for customers or banks to second-guess them. The only way to solve for this will be via machine learning solutions, which will be developed as the RTP rollout proceeds.
“I was recently at an industry event, and what I heard was that, at least on the B2B [business-to-business] side, there really hasn’t been a large uptick in fraud yet,” said Murphy. “But fraud in general is bubbling and increasing. TCH [The Clearing House] does not provide layered services [addressing fraud] to the banks. They just provide the network and they are expecting the banks to develop their own systems of behavioral modifications and algorithms over time. FedNow is probably expecting to provide a couple of fundamental layered services for the banks. But mostly the reliance is going to be upon the banks themselves to build up their antifraud capabilities.”
What to Expect in 2023
Of the thousands of banks in the U.S., only a few hundred are currently on the TCH RTP network. More banks are expected to hop on the RTP bandwagon with the launch of FedNow. This will take time, though. “I don’t think 2023 is the year of huge volumes of faster payments in the U.S.,” said Sheril. “2023 to me is more banks signing up, starting their work, planning their budgets to get there. As more banks get on board there will be more use cases, driving a virtuous cycle of improvement.”
In contrast to the United States, the adoption of real-time payments is set to increase dramatically in the UK and the EU. “Last year, the volumes of real-time payments in the market increased 23% from 2020 to 2021 [in the UK],” Blacklock said. Furthermore, the UK is designing a new real-time payments architecture scheme, with a new platform and clearing system using the ISO 20022 messaging standard.
According to Murphy, next year will also feature innovation that has been a long time coming: cross-border real-time payments. “There is an initiative underway between TCH, EBA CLEARING, and SWIFT called ISP,” said Murphy. “They’re expecting to commercialize cross-border payments in 2023. And I would guess the first use case will involve Euro-US dollar conversions. But I would imagine that the UK is going to be one of the next markets that they’ll add next.”
In the United States, banks should get started now by planning their technology and human resources for the deployment of real-time payments. This involves gearing up for a 24/7 payments ecosystem, involving changes in staffing, reporting, and training. It will also involve getting everyone on board about the tech involved, including the RTP network itself, as well as cloud storage and APIs. Banks should also prepare for cross-border real-time payments, which will likely be operational next year. Those will connect with a real-time payments network in Europe and likely with a newly overhauled system in the UK.

Self love,the golden ingredient!
Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.— Oscar Wilde.
Let’s talk about the most important person on earth,……you. What do you think about yourself as a person.Do you love yourself enough?Do you treasure your life enough?Are you comfortable with the way you are?
Well sweetie,you should strive to answer yes to those few questions I’ve asked.If your answer’s no though,don’t worry,you’re not abnormal or from a mysterious planet,no!Sometimes we all feel that way,we feel small,we feel unworthy and unloved,we feel like dirt in a golden world .Well it happens,but we should strive to block that and fight such feelings,right?
What if I told you there’s a way to escape from that dark and dull side of life.I mean it’s too boring and draining.Well ,you know what,there is!Grab my hand and find out how to live on the lighter side of life with satisfaction.How to have no regrets and gain full confidence. Woosh…..Let’s go!
I will give you one simple and practical way to love your life and live fully.
Okay,let’s dig in without wasting time. Drumroll……….
And here we have it,the main ingredient ,the golden spice that will give you wings and will turn you into pixie dust (not literally lol).
1: Realizing you are unique,accepting all your positives and flaws and not looking at yourself through other people’s eyes
Have you ever looked at a person and just felt great admiration for them.Did you find them pretty or handsome.Did they seem so sophisticated?Did they just seem out of this world?Well I have,and I decided to do the same with myself .Since we spend 365 and a quarter days with this being called the “self”,we forget how unique we are and how precious we are. Hmn ,I mean we’ve seen it all, right?What’s new and exciting about ourselves?Nothing right?WRONG!!!!We are more than special,more than beautiful,more than handsome,more than worthy and guess what?We spend every second with us!Wow, we spend every second of the decade with VIPs.That’s us.How lucky we are!
May you redirect some of your adoration for other people towards yourself.You know what,your body and soul deserves love.It’s a right and if you ever deprive yourself of this right,then you are being cruel towards yourself.This self love I’m talking about begins with acknowledging that you are unique.The world would be a totally boring place without you.The earth is full of gazillions of people and each one of them with their different way of spicing it up.You are one of them and are unique,I don’t know if you are a gummybear-orange-chip spice,or honey-sugarplum-barbecue sauce,but even if it may seem weird in other’s eyes,embrace yourself that way.It’s your flavour and the earth would be one flavour down if it weren’t for you.
Imagine if we only ate one type of food on earth,your favourite food,all day,everyday,all year.Would you still like it?Personally I wouldn’t.Why?Because there is need for diversity!Let’s take a step further.Imagine if the world population constituted of one type of person,with the same face,the same traits,the same body,the same
height,the same ……. EVERYTHIIIIING!!!It would be the most boring place in the galaxy,I wouldn’t want to live in it.Why?Because diversity is what brings colour and life.I add my green,you add your pink,another adds their yellow,and we have life.So you see,your difference from the person next to you is a necessity on earth,it’s essential for the universe to properly run.Realise you are different and embrace that.Never compare yourself to the person next to you because you can never and should never be them.Your purpose on earth is to be YOU.
Disappointment in life comes when we look at ourselves through other’s eyes,when we tag our price based on outsiders’ opinions.We shouldn’t do that,no.Even if one receives love from the whole galaxy,without self love,life will still remain meaningless and dull.Self acceptance and self love is the first step if we are to enjoy life.If a daisy were to look at itself through the eyes of a caterpillar,it would always think it’s ugly since caterpillars eat and destroy daisies,not noticing their beauty.But would you find a daisy to be ugly?Maybe,but I wouldn’t. Lesson learnt?Beauty values and worthiness differ per person.If you try to get everyone’s acknowledgement,you will fail and will be disappointed.Solution?Accept yourself as you are.Simple!Do you wonder why you can’t fit into other people’s space?Because you haven’t realized that your world is best and are trying to live in the one someone else built for themselves.What’s the problem with that?It’s like trying to fit a square into a triangular box of the same size.It won’t work because both shapes are different and unique and should just stay the way they are.If you accept your world and have a strong foundation,then and only then can you feel free to confidently mix with others and build each other.
Do yourself a favour,stand in front of a mirror every morning,look yourself in the eyes,appreciate what you see,and tell yourself, “I LOVE YOU”.Take note of all your positive attributes and give yourself a high five.Appreciate yourself and think of how lucky the earth is to have you as a part of it.You know when they talk the “human race” ,you’re included on that list.Understand that if one part that’s on you were to be changed,then you wouldn’t be you.I do this everyday and it works wonders.Not too long ago,I was a shy person who believed everything people said about me.I was the person THEY moulded.If they told me I was unintelligent,I believed that.If they said I was not worth it,I believed it.If they said I was too slim,I felt that.If they said I just looked terrible,then terrible I was.I had no happiness and confidence at all because I tried to live out their view of perfect and never considered mine but one day I decided to put an end to it and just embrace ME.From then on my life has been the best!I walk with my head held high and never colour myself with other people’s paint.I believe I am enough and tell myself so every chance I get.You should try it out and should also try some mental makeovers on Pinterest,they’ve helped me a lot.Start the journey to self acceptance now!You will love it,I promise.The destination is beautiful.
Okay,that’s it for now.Hope you learnt something.Do try and apply this in your life and see the great difference.Remember there never was someone like you in the past,there is no one like you in the present and there will never be one in the future too.Love yourself like that!
I can’t wait to share more with you.
Affirmations:I deserve to be loved by me.I am unique.There is no one else like me from head to toe.I am a limited edition.I love me like that!
Till next time,bye .Remember to shine and give yourself some love.You’re special darling.
This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

Fast Radio Bursts
Back on April 18, 2015, the Parkes radio telescope, located in Australia, detected a fast radio burst (FRB); an astrophysical phenomenon that appears as transient radio pulses that last for only a few milliseconds.
This was quickly followed up when an international alert was sent for other telescopes to look out for the signal, among which included CSIRO’s Australian Telescope Compact Array (ATCA).
With ATCA’s six dishes, each measuring 22 meters (72 feet) apiece, the CSIRO team was able to locate the signal more accurately than ever before. They also detected a radio afterglow, which lasted for nearly a week before fading, lending to even greater precision.
Project Scientist at the Square Kilometre Array Organisation and lead researcher Dr. Evan Kean said that this was a novel opportunity in astronomy: "In the past FRBs have been found by sifting through data months or even years later. By that time it is too late to do follow up observations."
FRB’s are notoriously difficult to detect, with only 16 detections before this one. But Dr. Keane and his team of researchers have developed a new observing system that allows them to detect FRBs in seconds, while also immediately alerting other telescopes.
Weighing the Universe
Benjamin Stappers, a Professor of Astrophysics at The University of Manchester clarifies why this is significant: "discovering more FRBs will allow us to do even more detailed studies of the missing matter and perhaps even study dark energy. To do this, we are starting projects with arrays of telescopes like eMerlin and MeerKAT, which will allow us to have a localisation directly from the burst itself."
Knowing the distance also gives researchers another piece of valuable insight. Study co-author Dr. Simon Johnston explains that "until now, the dispersion measure is all we had. By also having a distance we can now measure how dense the material is between the point of origin and Earth, and compare that with the current model of the distribution of matter in the universe."
In short: "Essentially this lets us weigh the universe, or at least the normal matter it contains."
Astronomers have so far only been able to account for only half of the ordinary matter that makes up the universe, the other half making up what is refereed to as "missing matter." Dr. Keane explains that their observations match up with that accounting and that they have "found the missing matter." He notes, "It's the first time a fast radio burst has been used to conduct a cosmological measurement."

One of them since the first time I had seen him on TV has appeared in my dreams constantly and consistently, for many years. And always seemed to appear when I needed him the most. Later on once I started exploring the metaphysical I just wrote it off as a possible thought-form I created... but now learning about character bindings... maybe he was real after all? I guess I will find out soon enough.
I also had quite a bit anxiety about possibly being rejected but that feeling has disappeared.
Hmm.. What was the characters you were drawn to?
I've felt drawn to the Nightflier, Dwight Renfield... even though he's supposed to be a dark and evil character (depending on how you see him), he's always felt like something I'm missing...
And then there is the original (more like first) red ranger from the power ranger series. I don't know why... I never really thought about him until he just kept popping up in my dreams. At first we were just friends going on adventures and then we grew close over time. Even when I was having nightmares, he'd just show up and rescue me. Almost every night for many years he'd be in my dreams... it was almost like I was living a second life with him up until 2002 and then suddenly it just stopped. I didn't see him anymore. I grew really depressed and felt silly about it at the same time.
I wonder if Kelis will be able to find them.
Pretty cool, I know <<REMOVED BY MOD>> will find them for you, I have faith. Heck, who's to say he'd be able to find Spider-Man? Possibly the best Spider-Man in Animated History, from the Spectacular Spider-Man TV Show. Or the Spider-Man who's married to Mary Jane and has a kid named Annie. Though I'll admit, The Red Ranger from the first Power Rangers is a very cool character, been fond of him for some time.
