The King Madanapala of Delhi (Yoginipura) gave a cordial reception to Kharatara Saint Jina Chandra II in V.S. 1222. It mentions Parshvanatha temple of the town, which existed in 12th century. Jains played an important role in the religious affairs of Delhi at that time. Prabandhakosha of Rajashekhara was written at this place in 1347 AD. A temple of Mahavira was built in Delhi around 1328 AD. during the rule of Muhammad Bin Tughluq, It was known as Bhattaraka Sarai.
The Agrawal merchant Nattal Sahu, and the Agrawal Poet Vibudh Shridhar lived here during the rule of Tomara Anangapal of Yoginipur (now Mehrauli, near Delhi). Vibudh Shridhar wrote Pasanahacariu in 1132 AD, which includes a historical account of Yoginipur (early Delhi near Mehrauli) then.
An inscription was discovered at Batiagadh in Damoh district of Madhya Pradesh of the year V.S 1385 = 1328 AD which records Muslims as Sakas. It mentions Muhammad Tuglak. It tells us that Delhi was also known by the name Yoginipura.
Batihagarh stone Inscription of the Vikrama Year 1385 (1328 AD)
Batihagarh is a village 21 miles north-west of Damoh. The inscription refers itself to Jallala Khoja, a local Muhammadan Governor at Batihadim (the present Batihagarh). It states that Jallala was the representative of Hisamuddin, son of Julachi, who was appointed Commander of the Kharapara armies and Governor of Chedi country by Sultan Mahmud of Yoginipura or Delhi. This Mahmud must be Nasiruddin Mahmud of the Slave dynasty who reigned between 1246 and 1266 A. D. It was in 1251 that he conquered Chanderi and Malava and appointed a Governor there.1 The mention of Kharapara armies gives importance to this record. They are apparently identical with the Kharaparikas of Samudragupta's inscription on the Allahabad pillar. They must have been a powerful tribe to deserve mention by that great Emperor in the 4th Century A.D. The record is dated in the Vikrama year corresponding to 1328 A.D.

It just occurred to me, as I was writing a message to a friend, that this is a great time to create a daily space for remembering and BEing grateful for ourselves. Something to celebrate and feel the uniqueness that we each have and how incredible we are just by BEing here.
We have created public holidays to create space to remember and celebrate past events. We hear stories that are told to us as children, in church or through media that speak of greatness in others, courage displayed and we as a nation and as a world celebrate different events and people. People and events that have happened in our past.
When we think of people that have fought for peace and love and remember them, I feel we owe it not only to them but to ourselves to reach for that love and peace within ourselves, to realise that peace and love begins within ourselves and that is something we do have control over and can choose it every day. When we choose it for ourselves, we are also choosing it for the world we live in.
I could write so much more but today I am keeping it simple, because it really is simple.
I encourage everyone to create a space and time every day to Re member You, to Re connect to the greater part of you that You are, to your Light.
I choose to BE more loving to myself each day (it is a Practice 😊)
I choose to FEEL the peace that is within me each day
and that makes it easier for me to share with others…. ripples in the ocean of life.
Much Love from my heart to yours 🧡

BAGUIO LAUDED FOR IMPROVING COMPETITIVENESS RANKING DESPITE PANDEMIC
24 June 2022 – The Dept. of Trade Industry Competitive Bureau lauded Baguio City for showing vast improvement in its competitiveness ranking in 2021 despite the pandemic.
DTI-CB Director Lilian Salonga and Asst. Director Jo-Dann Darong said the significance of the city’s feat as the third most improved among 33 HUCs in the 8th Annual Regional Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness Index (CMCI) “could not be overemphasized” considering the challenges faced by the country.
“The award proves how competitive Baguio City is in propelling the nation’s economic growth. The city performed well amidst the pandemic and we all know the enormity of the challenges it posed to the country and the world in general. That the city was able to pull off a remarkable improvement has definitely proven its competitiveness and excellence,” Salonga said.
The officials conferred the city’s award to Mayor Benjamin Magalong as represented by Chief of Staff Felipe Puzon, Councilors Isabelo Cosalan and Phillian Weygan and City Planning and Development Coordinator Donna Tabangin in a program held June 23.
In 2020, the city was 19th most improved and 19th as overall most competitive local government unit in the HUC category.
In 2021, it placed 17th as overall most competitive with its standings in the four pillars as follows: 9th under the economic dynamism pillar from 11th in 2020; 19th in government efficiency from 26th; 24th in infrastructure from 18th; and 14th in resiliency from 26th.
Darong said the city tied with Cebu City in third place for most improved category trailing Tacloban and General Santos cities in second place and Mandaue City in first place.
He said of the 33 HUCs, only five registered improvement. Worse, 10 HUCs dropped significantly in performance with an average of four notches down and one with an extreme slide of 11 notches.
He said the city’s strength was on local economic growth under the economic dynamism pillar where it ranked first in the sub-category of local economic growth.
Salonga said the city also registered increase in employment opportunities, capacities for health and school services, accommodation capacity, among others.
Gaps needed to be addressed are on the capacity to generate local resources, infrastructure including transportation and road networks, early warning systems, among others. –Aileen P. Refuerzo

HARRISBURG, PA — Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding this eek announced the awarding of $300,000 in Veterans in Agriculture Grants. The grants aim to connect military veterans with farming opportunities, providing crucial support for those transitioning to civilian life.
The announcement was made on Military Appreciation Day at the 108th Pennsylvania Farm Show, with Major General Mark Schindler, Adjutant General of Pennsylvania, joining Secretary Redding. The funding represents a 50% increase compared to previous years under the Shapiro Administration and marks a substantial investment in the state’s agricultural sector.
Two organizations were the recipients of these grants. The PA Veteran Farming Network, a statewide organization, received $200,000, while Community Partnership, Inc., which serves Butler County, was awarded $100,000. These funds will assist military veterans in establishing or expanding farming operations, making them more profitable and sustainable.
This initiative could prove pivotal for veterans in Pennsylvania. The transition from military to civilian life can be challenging, and the farming industry offers a practical career path that utilizes many skills developed during military service. Furthermore, farming can provide therapeutic benefits, offering an outdoor, physically active lifestyle that can be beneficial for mental health.
The Veterans in Agriculture Grant program is part of the state’s commitment to agricultural business and workforce development. It provides “mini-grants” to organizations that support military veterans entering or expanding farm operations or related businesses.
Funding for this program comes from the Agricultural Business Development Center, established through the PA Farm Bill. The center aims to equip Pennsylvania farms and other agricultural businesses with the resources they need to increase their profits and sustain their operations.
The bipartisan budget for 2023-24 saw the Shapiro Administration increase funding for these grants to $300,000. This investment underscores the administration’s commitment to supporting Pennsylvania’s veterans and the agricultural industry, both vital components of the state’s economy and community.
Mimi Thomas-Brooker, Executive Director of the PA Veteran Farming Network, expressed her gratitude for the ongoing support. She stressed that these grants would have a “real and lasting impact” on the grantees’ farms. The sentiment was echoed by Maj. Gen. Schindler, who thanked Secretary Redding and the Department of Agriculture for their continued recognition and support of veteran farmers.

As we approach this holiday season, we all love celebrating this special time of the year with food, and we’d love to share two very special family recipes below:
Jonathan’s Mom’s Monster Cookies
- 6 Eggs
- 2 1/4 Cups Brown Sugar
- 2 Cups White Sugar
- 2 tsp Corn Syrup
- 4 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 lb Butter
- 2 3/4 Cups Peanut Butter
- 9 Cups Oatmeal
- 1/2 lb M&M Plain Candies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients by hand in a large bowl. Coat the bottom of a damp drinking glass with sugar. Cover a baking sheet with wax paper. Drop by large spoonfuls on the baking sheet and flatten with a sugared drinking glass bottom. Bake until light brown, approximately 10 minutes. Cookies will be chewy, leave them on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes before taking them off the waxed paper. Enjoy!
John’s Grammy’s Nut Roll (Serves 8-10 Rolls)
- 4 Egg Whites
- 4 Egg Yolks
- 8 Cups Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 5 1/2 Cups + 1 tsp Sugar
- 2 Sticks + 3 tbsp Butter
- 3 Cups of Milk (Depending on the Dough)
- 2 lbs Walnuts
- 3/4 Cup Lukewarm Water
- 2 Packets Dry Yeast
Step 1: Sift 8 cups of flour, 1 tsp salt, and 1 1/2 cups of sugar into a large bowl. Combine with 4 egg yolks and set aside.
Step 2: In a saucepan, combine 2 sticks of butter, and 1 1/4 – 1 1/2 cups of milk (depending on the dough). Heat on low – it should be room temperature when the mixture is added to the dough or it will kill the yeast.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, dissolve 2 packets of dry yeast, 1 tsp sugar, and 3/4 cup of lukewarm water. Set aside.
Step 4: In a large bowl, combine previously prepped mixtures and blend until smooth. Knead out any air bubbles. Once the dough is sticky, place it in greased pot/bowl with a damp towel over the top in a warm place.
Step 5: Once the dough has doubled in size, cut it into 8 pieces, weighing 1/2 lb each.
Step 6: Grind 2 lbs of walnuts and 4 cups of sugar in a food processor, then mix with 4 egg whites and 1-1 1/2 cups of milk. Split between 2 equal saucepans. Warm on low, as the walnuts burn easily. When warm, add about 3 tbsp of butter to each.
Step 8: Place a pan of water in the bottom of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Grease two 9×13 pans and roll each dough to the thinness of a tablecloth. Place 4 strips of the dough per pan, seam side down. Bake for 25-35 minutes until dark brown.
Step 9: Remove from oven, butter tops twice, and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Turn out on racks. Split into 4, wrap in plastic and foil to store or serve fresh.

Telomeres are nucleoprotein complexes located at the termini of eukaryotic chromosomes that prevent exonucleolytic degradation and end-to-end chromosomal fusions. Cancers often have critically shortened, dysfunctional telomeres contributing to genomic instability. Telomere shortening has been reported in a wide range of precancerous lesions and invasive carcinomas. However, the role of telomere alterations, including the presence of alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT), has not been studied in pituitary adenomas. Telomere length and the presence of ALT were assessed directly at the single cell level using a telomere-specific fluorescence in situ hybridization assay in tissue microarrays. Tumors were characterized as either ALT-positive or having short, normal, or long telomere lengths and then these categories were compared with clinicopathological characteristics. ATRX and DAXX expression was studied through immunohistochemistry. We characterized a discovery set of 106 pituitary adenomas including both functional and nonfunctional subsets (88 primary, 18 recurrent). Telomere lengths were estimated and we observed 64 (59.4%) cases with short, 39 (36.8%) cases with normal, and 0 (0%) cases with long telomeres. We did not observe significant differences in the clinicopathological characteristics of the group with abnormally shortened telomeres compared to the group with normal telomeres. However, three pituitary adenomas were identified as ALT-positive of which two were recurrent tumors. Two of these three ALT-positive cases had alterations in either of the chromatin remodeling proteins, ATRX and DAXX, which are routinely altered in other ALT-positive tumor subtypes. In a second cohort of 32 recurrent pituitary adenomas from 22 patients, we found that the tumors from 36% of patients (n = 8) were ALT-positive. This study demonstrates that short telomere lengths are prevalent in pituitary adenomas and that ALT-positive pituitary adenomas are enriched in recurrent disease.

The Director of the Croatian Public Health Institute, Krunoslav Capak, commented for Nova TV on the record daily increase in new cases of Covid-19 in Croatia. He also revealed that the measure of restricting the opening hours of clubs and cafes across the country will come into effect from tomorrow and will mean that they will have to close their doors at midnight.
"Yesterday we announced that the epidemiological service with sanitary inspection has the possibility to temporarily close clubs, and today the Headquarters made a decision that will take effect tomorrow and be valid for the next 10 days on limiting the working hours of nightclubs, bars, cafes," Capak explained.
''I have to point out a few related facts about these 180 newly infected cases. It’s an even younger age group than yesterday, averaging 31 years. Most of them can be connected with gatherings on the Adriatic coast,'' Capak said. He added that the competent inspections will continue to control the work of night clubs and café bars.

By 2050, an estimated 143 million people will be forced to flee their homes due to climate change. Whether they should be called climate refugees or environmental migrants is widely discussed, which means that many people on the run fall between the cracks with life-changing consequences.
In the EU election this year, a green sweptnvåg islandsee Europe, in response to it vgrowing interest in a climate-prioritizing policy. A climate policy that includes future climate refugees or environmental migrants will be highly topical, not just for the EU but globally.
Climate change will contribute to the need for people to flee their homes, which has already begun. The world we live in now has already increased 1 degree in average temperature, which has resulted in drought, glaciersnder floods and natural disasters around the world. We can already see how drought is affecting human survival in Africa, as 2 million people in Somalia alone are at risk of losing their lives due to famine.
What then happens nis väarm på which increases by 1,5-2 degrees on average, is that the changes will go towards the more extreme - with longer woesrmeboils, more extensive droughts, water shortages and floods.
According to a published by The Internal Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC), på has 17.2 million mäpeople have been forced to move onådue to natural disasters, that only in 2018. The graph below shows the connection between natural, so-called geophysical causes and natural disasters.
More migrants create new issues
Nisthe number of refugees of a certain type is increasing, coming frågoes abouthow we should legally treat these people who are forced to flee their homes.
About a person flying on due to climate changerachanges should be called climate refugee or environmental migrant are frequently discussed. A fugitive is a person fleeing due to a värooted fear of, for example, forrfoil on påbecause of ethnicity or religion. A migrant is a person who väljer to move ifrån his country, fis a job or bäthree mopportunities. What separates them åt rättsly är that states have an obligation to provide protection for a refugee but have rätten to deny a migrant.
Considering to climate changerathe changes är and långsam process and that it is considered non-discriminatory, that it does not sätter one person in front of another, på migrants who escape natural disasters end up between the seats. När it happens a jordbävning usually mäpeople like påaffected by the natural disaster ftransferred to accäand usually within their own country. The långsamma process innebäis that the disaster relocation may be temporaryäokay, but also permanently. Fthe transfer can äalso take place within the country, but alsoå be Artevenexceeding.
In the global frameworks that exist på neither the Refugee nor the Migration Convention has a definition as stäenter pto a person flying the climate. Researcher Adam Reuben, who is coauthor of the report frthan the think tank Fores, means that precisely because there is no någon definition på stays frågan where. The debate about the concept continues and the world fails to focus on what is most important - to help people who are fleeing.
- The discussion revolves around the lågood climaterathe change and about it is millön as äis the only cause of migration, or about it are additional factors, he says.
He then sees fparts of usingend of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) definition. He means onthat it says that migration can be voluntary, but alsoåimperative. That the transfer can take place på due to natural causes, but alsoto on due to mähuman environmental disasters, such as a knuclear reactor as gårsönder
- The täreally covers the whole spectrum, because it also speakså about internal and grevenexcess, as well as short and långvarig migration. Then is it a bit svårt to sägave generally to climate-driven migration is voluntary, äeven if it may be compelling as welloh, conthe eats.
In the UN Global Framework, is the framework for refugees thin ijcontöwith the one who gor ffor migration. In it there is more to goto på, as provisions on migration give states the opportunity to sjfairy beastmming. Another difference is that each country treats migrants according to its own immigration laws, instead of complying with international law that applies to refugees. This means that you are treated differently depending on which country you immigrate to.
- Nothing äis binding on the states, but it is a matter of freedom of choice. And one reason why you do not want to count the group fleeing natural disasters as refugees, äis that states do not want the obligation to receive them.
This means that those who are forced to migrate due to climate change have no law to lean on if they want to seek protection. This can lead to them being in an even more vulnerable situation in the recipient countries, as they have to rely on the countries wanting to offer them help.
Asia is hard hit
The områthe one who has already been affected håorderly än others are large parts of Asia. Bangladesh has already had major problems with floods and the problem does not seem to stop där. Large parts of the country forräveNTAS sink below sea level. If you look at the noisersta neighboring country, India, they have not - despite signing the Refugee Convention - committed to abide by it.
This can påserve the citizens of Bangladesh när it will seek protection if they are forced to flee när water levelånhöjs. We do means that there is an uncertainty about that gain protection nis mäPeople in Bangladesh are forced to move from their homes.

Ford Motor Company announced their intent to form a joint venture with Anhui Zotye Automobile Co., a Chinese brand that specializes in all-electric vehicles in order to help the company make headway in the electric car market.
The companies are looking at a 50/50 split to create a new line of electric vehicles to be sold under an as-yet-to-be-named brand.
The decision comes as the Chinese government pushed for an increase in electric vehicles to help the country reduce pollution affecting cities with some, such as Beijing, offering incentives to entice auto buyers to make the switch.
Currently, China is responsible for close to half of all electric cars sold worldwide based on information from the International Energy Agency. Zotye, which only produces electric vehicles, sold over 16,000 electric vehicles through July 2017 – a year-over growth of 56%.
According to managing director at Gao Feng Advisory Company, Ford is the first international automaker to partner with the company. And while that may be the case, Ford isn’t the first player to turn eyes – and vehicles – on the Chinese market. This month, General Motors (GM) began offering the Baojun E100, a small electric car at a price of just $5,300 after incentives. The car is made in China as part of a joint effort between GM and China’s SAIC and Wuling Motors.
Two months ago, Volkswagen (VLKAF) completed negotiations for a joint venture with Anhui Jianghuai Automobile (JAC Motor) to produce electric vehicles.


Various Ghanaian artistes such as Guru, Medikal, Chase, Jupitar and Trigmatic have supported Shatta Wale’s agenda against the dominance of Nigerian music in Ghana.
Ghanaian musician, Chase Forever has thrown his weight behind Shatta Wale following the latter’s claims that Ghanaian musicians have received less support and love from their Nigerian counterparts.
Shatta Wale during his #FreedomWave concert launched attacks on the Nigerian music industry over the support and love they have denied Ghanaian musicians. He ranted that Nigerian musicians have gained a lot of support and love from Ghanaians yet they have refused to demonstrate the same kindness towards Ghanaian musicians.
He also fumed that he needs not to headline a show with a Nigerian musician to sell out because Nigerian musicians never call on Ghanaian musicians to co-headline a show with them in Nigeria.
Shatta Wale’s rantings meted mixed reactions on social media with some people supporting his claims while others, especially Nigerians refute his claims by slamming him for insulting Nigerians.
In reaction to that, Chase Forever has intimated that most people are focusing on the fact that such an important issue was raised by Shatta Wale, According to him, the message which Shatta Wale voiced out seems not to be the main focus but the fact that his approach in addressing the issue.
Taking to the microblogging platform, Twitter, he wrote; Sometimes the message matters more than the messenger SHATTA WALE get big point one will talk about the approach but when we make sensible posts they don’t reach anywhere
Guru has added his unsolicited views to the trending discourse masterminded by Shatta Wale about Ghanaian artistes not getting support from their Nigerian counterparts.
Speaking on Showbiz 360, Guru whose real name is Maradona Yeboah Adjei, echoed what his industry colleague had previously stated- the basis of which has become the most topical issue across the Nigerian and Ghanaian social media landscape.
In Guru’s words, Nigerians need to reciprocate the same love they get from Ghanaians. He further noted that the one-sided push was worrying, for which reason there should be a structure to uniformly make the two neighbouring countries benefit from each other.
“The rate at which Ghanaians promote Nigerian artistes should be the same energy vice versa. We believe in patriotism. It is about time we look at the bigger picture.”
He further stated that “If we all can be on a bigger picture, that would be awesome. Even though we shoot quality videos, Nigerians do not promote them like the way we promote their music here.”
Responding to the concerns raised by the Ghanaian rapper, Emmanuel Umor Jnr of BBNaija Season 6 fame, Guru mentioned that there may be policies regarding music promotion, which may not be known. Hence there should be measures put in place to revise such policies.
In a related development, a Nigerian journalist has meanwhile thrown his weight behind Shatta Wale after he launched a scathing attack on Nigerian artistes moments after he filled the Accra Sports Stadium to full capacity during his recent Freedom Wave concert.
The journalist whose name we have not established yet said what Wale said is the absolute truth and provided theories to substantiate his position.
He said indeed Nigerian artistes are raking huge dividends from their fanbase in Ghana and other African countries but don’t create the same ambiance for other artists elsewhere to benefit in their own territory.
The young man further said Nigerians have a lot of connections which is why their music dominates other African countries but that doesn’t mean others from the continent have nothing to offer.
He emphasized that Nigerians can also support GH artistes just like they are getting premised on what Wale said.
His utterances have birthed diverse opinions. In a post sighted by Zionfelix.net, Jupitar stated there has to be equal love and acknowledgment. He said the Nigerian media should embrace the Ghanaian culture as Ghanaians do to theirs.
“Imagine Nigeria media embracing our culture like we do to theirs, booking us for shows like we do for them, only the demon won’t agree to this .. we need equal love and acknowledgment, not for Ghanaian musicians alone but to Africa as a whole,” Jupitar wrote on Twitter.

Tower Hamlets-based retailer Helen Fisher reveals some of her bestsellers
Known for its contemporary and colourful greeting card, gifts and homewares product selection, SNAP has become a well-loved destination in Roman Road in London’s Tower Hamlets.
Having recently celebrated the shop’s 10th anniversary, here owner Helen Fisher shares some of her bestselling card ranges and gift products and her views of why they chime with her customers’ tastes.
“Sooshichacha does a fantastic wide range of birthday cards. The cut-out Skooshies range is fun and bright and really stands out on the shelf – just great for both kids and adults!”
Relations and Occasions
“I really pick and choose my relations and occasions designs from across all our suppliers. We don’t stock a huge number of relation cards, but Ohh Deer has published a lot of good occasion cards recently, especially in its Twin Pines range, which are filling quite a lot of gaps.”
“Redback, Redback, Redback! The publisher just keeps bringing out the funnies with so many of its ranges. A standout this year has definitely been Zeppelinmoon for its off-centre quirky humour.”
“Museums & Galleries is a great all-rounder publisher of art cards. The bright colours and patterns, notably in the Tate and Matthew Williamson ranges, are very popular with our customers.”
“I don’t really sell any photographic cards apart from my own SNAP range. The designs are inspired by my lockdown walking – tons of it! – and pictures of the local area that I post on Instagram. They are hyper hyper local and people really love how specific they are.”
“Raspberry Blossom’s kids’ age cards are doing brilliantly. Current faves are Wowsers, Zoopadoopa and New Age. They are bright and cheerful covering lots of options!”
“Tache’s bright age cards continue to do well – its Modern Mister range is retro and fun.”
“Wrap Magazine is always guaranteed to have bold contemporary colourful designs that are always popular with our customers. Both sheets and rolls do well.”
“WXY candles by the eclectic lifestyle company continue to be an absolute winner for us. They smell gorgeous, are made in the UK, and bring customers back time and time again.”
“Framed artwork sells frequently as a self-purchase treat. Adam Doughty’s architecturally-strong art prints are very popular. His work has a strong London focus which works well in our customers’ homes. He also does a fab range of London cards.”

People don't travel "as the crow flies," so to speak, they're reliant on the infrastructure that is already in place. Looking at the metro area and thinking the Sox could be successful anywhere but the central core of the city makes me think you have not realized the '80s ended.
It's a cute thought, guys, but ultimately it's a terrible idea. As has been pointed out, there's a reason literally nobody has already done it.
I don't get the 1980s reference, I do know that when I was growing up in the 50s the city had 3.6 million people, it's now around 2.7. Are all those people coming back? Chicago is now number 3 in the USA and before long the Dallas and Houston areas will have more people.
When we visit up there we stay with my sister in Arlington Heights and I know it's a lot easier to get to somewhere like Addison or Elmhurst than to 35th and Shields.
I believe you live in the city so you are not going to agree with any talk about suburbia being a better location for the Sox, but based on how the Sox have performed at the box office at USCF since they moved in I believe they would have done better out west. We will never know for sure but if you were to pin down JR, he would say the same thing. The Sox didn't pull Addison out of a hat and say let's go there, they did extensive demographic studies and came up with Addison.

Happiness in your terms
If all of humanity shares one common goal – it is to lead a happy life. But what does it mean to be happy? And how does one achieve that peaceful state of mind? Happiness is not just a smile or a laugh; it is a feeling that thrives from within. Plain and simple, the only way to find true happiness is to write the definition for yourself.
With regular exposure to the media, we are often given unrealistic expectations about life. We are taught to believe that what is materialistic is what matters and that we must look a certain way and live a certain kind of lifestyle to achieve happiness. But the truth behind it all is that it is up to us to decide which kind of lifestyle fits our own personal needs. Each woman leads a different life, there’s no debating that, and while some may be mothers, others may only be students, and we should allow our own unique chapters and stages in life influence what happiness should be.
Many women find happiness in their accomplishments, and there is no harm in being proud of what you have achieved. But this can also be misinterpreted into thinking that happiness is to acquire what others have achieved. When this mentality is instated, life can be filled with a lot more competition, envy, and a void that can never seem to be fulfilled. This is why it is important to remember that it’s not how society defines happiness, it’s how you do. Happiness is about accepting yourself and being content with what you have, not with what the rest of the world does.
Take a moment or two to reflect and prioritize what is important to you. What are your dreams and aspirations? What is considered “being successful” to you? Make a list of your goals and the steps you will need to take in order to reach them. Remember that life isn’t perfect, as we all endure many obstacles that come our way. But staying passionate and working towards your dreams is the only way to attain.
Don’t wait around for your life to fit society’s definition of perfect. Determine your definition of happiness today and make your life your own special kind of perfect.
"If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things"

Healthy air should be a basic right, but all over the world, people face exposure to toxins that remain unregulated and dangerous. It’s important that the public becomes more educated about these toxins, both in the natural environment and those hidden in consumer products or construction materials within our own homes. With better awareness and education, we can reduce the health risks these toxins pose, and help change the laws that allow the presence of toxic chemicals.

The fire protection industry is in the midst of a technology transition toward better, more efficient sprinkler system design. Before computer-aided design (CAD) emerged, fire sprinkler system designers used paper and pencil to map the layout of sprinkler systems and components within buildings. They quickly left that manual labor behind for AutoCAD, which added speed, flexibility and ease of revision to design projects.
While AutoCAD has since been the preferred tool for sprinkler system design drawings, Autodesk Revit building information management (BIM) software has gained recent traction due to its popularity among building designers in the construction industry, and as its tools can support 3D modeling of complete sprinkler systems.
To make the transition more enticing, new third-party software enhancements continue to enrich the capabilities of Revit, making it more appealing to a wider range of fire sprinkler system designers. The latest expanded toolsets for Revit make the development of 3D models and computerized fabrication faster and easier. Some of the most valuable capabilities — including 3D layout, electronic calculation and delivery of fabrication-ready designs and material stock list reports — drastically simplify the design process.
Recent Evolution of Sprinkler System Design
AutoCAD advanced the design process by exposing the application programming interface (API), allowing third-party developers to create and integrate trade-specific software enhancements, unlocking features and abilities beyond basic drafting tools. Third-party developers created specialized applications to more efficiently complete key tasks, including hydraulic calculations and industry-specific fabrication reports.
These enhancements and applications transformed the line-drafting program into an intelligent, multidimensional application tailored to the needs of fire protection professionals. So why shift to Revit?
The move was driven by the architectural and structural communities with whom fire protection professionals work in parallel during construction projects. Revit is the most popular implementation of BIM in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. The interoperability of software used by various stakeholders in a construction project is critical for creating an intelligent master model that considers the building’s life cycle.
To ensure their deliverables are compatible with the rest of the building trades, much of the fire protection industry is now working in Revit. And, as they did for AutoCAD, software providers have developed specialized toolsets to simplify and improve the functionality of Revit for fire sprinkler system design.
Revit Fabrication Tools Complete Fire Sprinkler Design and Delivery
At its core, Revit is an architecture tool, not a fire sprinkler design tool. Fire sprinkler designs can be completed in Revit, but Revit alone does not offer intuitive functions specifically designed for the process. This often makes common sprinkler design tasks drawn-out and time-consuming.
For example, there’s no standard for fire protection families. In Revit alone, families are challenging to build, use and maintain. Sometimes families are incompatible, are missing critical information such as Construction Operations Building Information Exchange data or include excessive, unnecessary detail resulting in huge, unmanageable file sizes.
Using fabrication tools such as SprinkCAD for Revit as an accessory, family-building functions can create families on the fly. This enables users to select a family to add to a project, then choose the models and parts to include in that family. The family, which is a true Revit family with all the Revit data plugged into it, is created and added to the project in coarse, medium and fine presentations. Once generated, families can be reused in future projects without rebuilding, and changes can be made quickly and easily.
Fabrication tools automate functions that are most important to fire protection professionals. Using new tools for Revit, designers can take a valid, comprehensive design in Revit directly into a strategy-based fabrication environment and produce a fully designed, calculated system quickly and efficiently.
Designers can map valves, sprinklers, pipe and pumps to known components within their parts database and get a full material list and fabrication report they can save, print or export to industry-standard file formats.
Latest Capabilities of Fabrication Tools
Fabrication tools are installed onto the Revit program, appearing as a toolbar in the Revit interface. This seamless integration streamlines the user’s experience; simply pull up a settings dialog and make choices within the Revit environment.
Templates make selection easy and include variations that allow users to customize designs based on the needs of the building. Take, for example, connecting sprinklers to pipe. In Revit alone, users must follow several steps to achieve that connection. The new tools use simple settings to connect sprinklers to pipe in only a few quick clicks. The auto-branch command takes seconds to connect entire fields of sprinklers to branch pipes and mains.
In comparison, a designer using Revit alone can only connect one sprinkler in the same amount of time.
Developed by fire protection professionals to better adapt Revit for other fire protection professionals, the latest tools have been expressly designed to simplify and speed up complex, time-consuming functions within Revit. While the latest tools feature many capabilities, these are three of the most valuable:
1. 3D layout. Sprinkler system design has always been a three-dimensional job conceptually. However, creating the design in AutoCAD is primarily a two-dimensional task with added notations representing the third dimension.
Revit is fully 3D in all respects. By integrating fire sprinkler design tools, designers can view their own work along with the building, structure and work of other trades from any angle.
2. Calculation. Hydraulic calculations have been part of system design for many decades. However, it was necessary to transfer the details of a piping system into a separate program, such as a spreadsheet, until third-party developers created a way to incorporate sprinkler hydraulics into AutoCAD software. This capability has recently come to Revit.
Calculating sprinkler systems in Revit alone can be challenging since the small gaps between model elements and incomplete hydraulic information in objects can cause problems. SprinkCAD’s calculation tools allow Revit to read the drawing and the network of piping and sprinkler heads. It accurately calculates the system even when the model isn’t perfect, overcoming small gaps and incomplete information.
Steady-state and nonsteady-state calculations can be performed on wet, dry, pre-action and systems requiring fluid delivery time analysis and are in accordance with NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems.
3. Fabrication-ready design and stock list. Mastering routing preferences is one of the biggest challenges in using Revit. It can be tedious and slow for fire sprinkler design because the selection of fittings is not related to a single pipe type but instead depends on the relationship between the adjoining types and their sizes. Revit alone only understands needed fittings based on the pipe being drawn without comprehending what the pipe is being connected to.
In sprinkler design, the fitting that’s needed varies depending on what a pipe is connecting into. With Revit’s Routing Preferences, a user must select or modify a different preference strategy each time the pipe being drawn will connect to a different connection type. Third-party tools, on the other hand, understand the differences between connecting scenarios and select the correct fitting for each intersection in the entire model.
Because of this level of intelligent-fitting connection concepts, a user can draw a fire sprinkler system using Revit standard pipe, heads and fittings — and yet calculate and fabricate the actual components intended to be installed.
The SprinkCAD program understands the different connections, the interplay between pipe and diameters, and makes them part of the stock list report. It also replaces all the standard fittings in the drawing with the family of fittings ultimately chosen and made on the fly.
The latest software builds these families and makes them part of a user’s model so the user doesn’t need to go through the laborious process of updating the routing preferences. A designer can choose a different kind of fitting at either end of a given piece of pipe, such as a welded tap junction at one end and threaded tee junction at the other.
To ensure the most comprehensive selection for designs, it’s important to look for software that frequently updates to recognize new, specialized fittings and sprinkler technology. Only recently updated software can automatically present to the fabricator the correct fitting at the correct locations.
If the fitting types desired on a project must be changed after the design is complete, such as grooved fittings replaced with threaded or mechanical tees with welded outlets, the software makes it possible for users to update them all within seconds with a few adjustments in the strategy screen.
The program then automatically — and immediately — applies the fitting change at every instance instead of a user having to take several hours to update each previously drawn fitting individually.
Revit BIM is becoming standard in the AEC industry. As each new version is released, Revit offers better features, improved usability and an expanded API. Specialized tools further optimize the experience, refining the efficiency of sprinkler system design with new capabilities to continually enhance the use of Revit.
These tools are still 100% Revit, but their addition automates common sprinkler design functions and specifically tailors Revit for sprinkler system design, saving valuable time for fire protection professionals.

The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has arrested some nine persons for dumping and burning solid waste in an open space causing smoke nuisance and posing serious health hazards to residents nearby.
The 9 were arrested during an Operation Clean Your Frontage (OCYF) enforcement exercise by a team from the AMA, in collaboration with the Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council (GARCC) and Zoomlion Ghana Limited to sanitise and keep the streets of the metropolis clean by desilting choked drains and gutters to allow free flow of water, sweeping as well as removing all obstructions.
Mayor of Accra, Elizabeth Naa Kwatsoe Tawiah Sackey who supervised the exercise used the opportunity to call on residents to desist from burning waste to help reduce air pollution in the city.
According to her the indiscriminate burning of refuse, smoke from vehicles and unclean cooking methods were the leading causes of air pollution in the city adding that globally 7 million people die prematurely every year from air pollution and among these deaths 34 per cent, 21 per cent, and 20 per cent are from Ischaemic heart diseases, pneumonia and strokes, respectively.
” Reducing short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) can dramatically reduce deaths caused by air pollution while decreasing national healthcare costs and reducing climate change impacts,” she said.
She warned that the Assembly would not hesitate to arrest and prosecute any person involved in any act of open burning in accordance with the law.
“Burning waste is illegal under the by-laws of the Assembly because there can be toxic chemicals in the items which contaminate the air we breathe,” she said.
She reiterated that under the 2017 Sanitation bye-law of the AMA a person commits an offence if that person burns solid waste in the open, or indiscriminately dumps solid and liquid waste in open spaces, drains and behind walls and added that those found culpable were likely to pay a penalty of not less than 100 penalty units and not more than 150 penalty units, or would go to prison between three to six months or both.
She used the opportunity to urge residents to support the agenda to ensure clean air.

He’s shared the stage with members of the Grateful Dead, Lettuce, Snarky Puppy, The New Mastersounds, Trey Anastasio Band, Ryan Montbleau, Turkuaz, Kung Fu and many more in countless collaborations. In addition to recently joining the Eric Krasno (Soulive/Lettuce) Band, Danny Mayer has funneled his raw musicality and grounded spirituality into a trio of his own with a name that is as straightforward and lucid as the music itself. The Danny Mayer Trio, aka DMT, has created a sound that transcends beyond rock n’ roll while maintaining roots in funk. The band features Michelangelo Carubba (Turkuaz) on drums and Nate Edgar (The Nth Power, John Brown’s Body) on bass alongside Mayer on guitar. This band has seamlessly come onto the scene in 2016 having already shared the stage with bands such as Kung Fu, Tom Hamilton’s American Babies, and many more. In addition to the core trio, DMT has also welcomed guest vocalists Shira Elias (Turkuaz) and Mary Corso (Eric Krasno Band) to the band. With their angelic presence and vocal prowess paired with the trio’s unadulterated musical chemistry, this band has truly created something new that needs to be seen to believe. Danny’s most current project is his duo ‘Danny & Mary’ w singer Mary Corso. The two have officially joined forces to create an extremely soulful duo. They have spent the past 3 years developing their unique sound through a variety of experiences in the funk and rock scene. Danny and Mary’s most recent experience was touring with Grammy winner Eric Krasno. They have been fortunate enough to share the stage with Phil Lesh, Warren Haynes, Doyle Bramhall, and Marcus King. Danny Mayer’s emotional bluesy sound and Mary Corso’s sultry vocals create a passionate energy that is tangible, contagious, and inspiring in their live performances. With catchy relatable originals and soulful renditions of classic covers they’ve captivated audiences all over the country. This fierce duo is looking forward to their future adventures of releasing new music and continuing to perform live.

Advances in technology allow us to live longer and happier lives, but what about our furry family members? Let’s dive into some of the amazing advances in veterinary medicine designed to keep your cat healthy longer than ever before.
The 5 Cutting-Edge Technologies in Veterinary Medicines
1. Pharmaceutical Products
No article on remarkable advances in medicine would be complete without touching on some of the medications available to help our felines.
One of the best advances in the veterinary world is a pill to treat diabetes in our cats. Bexagliflozin is a new medication that may one day replace the need to give our cats insulin injections twice daily.
Have a kitty suffering from arthritis? Historically, veterinarians have had little to offer our cats for arthritis pain and management beyond joint supplements and pain medications, some of which can have hazardous side effects such as kidney damage. Solensia is a once-a-month injection for arthritic cats and helps control their discomfort. It tends to be well tolerated, and 77% of pet owners 1 noted improvements in their cat’s mobility and comfort.
2. AI-powered Equipment
Artificial intelligence is at the forefront of technological advances in human and veterinary medicine. Your veterinary team can harness AI technology to aid us in getting a diagnosis for your cat faster (and more accurately) than ever before.
Machines like the Vetscan Imagyst can analyze a sample faster than most humans. This machine can do many different things:
- Check fecal exams for intestinal parasites
- Evaluate blood samples for irregular cell populations
- Use a urine sample from your cat to check for a urinary tract infection or crystal formation
One of the other neat ways that tech is helping veterinary teams and our pets get a faster diagnosis is the ability to send images to a pathologist for review. Your veterinarian can take a needle to collect a cellular sample from a new lump on your cat and make a slide preparation. Rather than sending the sample to the lab for evaluation, which can take days to get back, the sample can be uploaded into the machine, with images transmitted. Your team may have an answer by the end of the day!
3. 3D Printing for Surgeries
3D printing is fun for a lot of reasons. You can make models and game pieces at home, just to name a few things. Your veterinary team can use a 3D printer to create models to help them develop surgical approaches. This is helpful, particularly when your vet needs to perform a surgery they’ve only read about. It is most commonly used in prepping for orthopedic and neurological surgeries.
3D printers have also created items to help our furry and feathered friends live more comfortably. They can be utilized to make prostheses.
4. Hyperbaric Chambers
Hyperbaric chambers aren’t as common in veterinary medicine as in human medicine, but they are becoming more common. With this tool, your cat is placed in a high-oxygen environment, which can aid in healing various disorders, from severe skin infections to hit-by-car cases. Studies show that this equipment is well-tolerated with minimal possible side effects.
5. DNA Testing
While DNA testing is becoming more common in veterinary medicine for dogs, it has only been recently that accurate DNA testing has been available for cats. The Wisdom Panel for Cats checks a cheek swab for around 70 different cat breeds. Not sure if that’s important? The test also looks for more than 40 genetic health conditions, providing you and your veterinarian with invaluable information.
What Is the Biggest Hurdle Facing Veterinary Medicine Today?
The main issue plaguing vet med is a shortage of veterinarians and other veterinary professionals, from technicians to receptionists. The good news is that while we need more vets than ever before, technology is helping practicing veterinarians use their time more efficiently. Doing so will allow them more time to spend on patient care and educating clients while ideally preserving their work-life balance.
Veterinary medicine is constantly changing and evolving. Your veterinarian has access to new medications to revolutionize how we treat our cats and their comfort. Technology advances give veterinarians more time to practice good medicine by effectively leveraging teams and providing timely and accurate information.

Bush Administration Appeals Decision Against Partial-Birth Abortion Ban
by Steven Ertelt
August 2, 2004
San Francisco, CA (LifeNews.com) — Continuing its defense of the ban on partial-birth abortion, the Bush administration announced on Monday that it is appealing a San Francisco judge’s decision declaring the ban unconstitutional.
Attorneys representing Attorney General John Ashcroft filed the notice appealing the decision to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
That appeals court has traditionally opposed upholding pro-life legislation and is considered one of the more pro-abortion courts in the country. Regardless of the appeals court’s decision, the case is likely headed to the U.S. Supreme Court for consideration.
In June, U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton said the partial-birth abortion ban runs afoul of the 2000 Carhart vs. Stenberg Supreme Court decision that found a Nebraska partial-birth abortion ban unconstitutional. The high court said it lacked an exception to allow the gruesome abortion procedure to protect a woman’s health.
The Bush administration argued that the medical community acknowledges that there are never any instances when a three-day long abortion procedure would be needed in an emergency health situation.
Hamilton is one of three judges weighing separate challenges by abortion advocates.
The San Francisco case was filed by the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its California affiliate.
A representative of the nation’s largest abortion business condemned the Bush administration’s decision.
"The court was right to strike down this dangerous law and Attorney General Ashcroft is wrong to squander Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars to fund his anti-choice crusade," Planned Parenthood president Gloria Feldt said in response. "Planned Parenthood is fully prepared to go back to court to ensure that this dangerous abortion ban never harms American women."
President Bush signed the partial-birth abortion ban into law in November 2003.
In addition to the Planned Parenthood lawsuit, several abortion practitioners filed suit in Nebraska seeking to overturn the ban and the ACLU filed a lawsuit on behalf of the National Abortion Federation, a trade group of abortion businesses.
The federal appeals court is missing one pro-life judge who may likely have decided in favor of upholding the pro-life law.
Abortion advocates in the Senate have used filibuster threats to prevent Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Carolyn Kuhl’s nomination to the 9th Circuit appeals court. President Bush nominated Judge Kuhl, who is pro-life, to the post last year.
In closing out the testimony for the Bush administration, Dr. Curtis Cook, an OB/GYN and Michigan State University professor who specializes in high-risk pregnancies and pregnancies with complications, told the court he didn’t believe partial-birth abortions were ever medically necessary.
Cook said the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is on record as saying "there is no situation where they can think that this is the only option available."

Troy center Jake Andrews invited to 2023 NFL Combine
TROY, Ala. (WSFA) - Former Stanhope Elmore High School and Troy Trojan football standout Jake Andrews has been invited to the 2023 NFL Draft Combine.
Andrews is a 2018 Stanhope Elmore graduate and has played the past five seasons at Troy on the offensive line. He was the starting center for the Trojans this past season but has played all over the offensive line throughout his collegiate and high school career.
In high school, Andrews was named all-state in 2016, as well as being named all-county and all-metro twice. In addition to being a star on the offensive line, Andrews also won the state wrestling championship his senior year at Stanhope Elmore High School.
Throughout his colligate career with the Trojans, Andrews saw time at left guard, center, and right guard. In 2019 during his redshirt freshman season, he played in all 12 games and did not allow a sack all season.
This past season Andrews was a first-team All-Sun Belt selection. He saw action in all 14 games at the center position, playing in all but three snaps, only allowing five sacks. Andrews capped off his final season in Troy with an 18-12 victory over UTSA in the Cure Bowl.
Andrews has also accepted an invite to the Senior Bowl that will be played at Hancock Whitney Stadium in Mobile on Feb. 4.
According to Mel Kiper of ESPN, Andrews is the ninth-rated center coming into this year’s draft. He will be looking to boost that ranking and to impress NFL scouts at both the Senior Bowl and the NFL Draft Combine, which takes place from Feb. 27 through Mar. 6 in Indianapolis.

BAR HARBOR — The padded folding chairs used by players at basketball games in the Mount Desert Island High School gymnasium used to sport Coca-cola advertisements. But now they hold a slice of the school’s athletic history.
“Other schools do memorial chairs or advertising for local business,” said Andrew Shea, who organized the fundraiser with Athletic Director Bunky Dow. “The thought was, why don’t we do an alumni history.”
Proceeds from sponsored chairs go to the MDI varsity boys’ and girls’ basketball teams for un-budgeted expenses. The funds have given the coaches access to resources such as bringing in speakers, summer programs or team supplies.
“The chairs mostly get used for basketball, that’s what they were bought for,” Shea said, “so Mr. Dow was fine with proceeds going towards the basketball program.”
“Anyone who played varsity basketball can sponsor a chair,” Shea said. “They all follow a similar format, with the person’s class year, years on varsity, championships won, 1000 point scorers, etc.”
Some families traced back to the days before MDI High School to players from Pemetic in Southwest Harbor, Bar Harbor High School and Gilman High in Northeast Harbor. The ranks have expanded as more students play for MDI.
To sponsor a new chair or add to an existing one, contact Dow at [email protected]

What comes to mind when you hear ‘Generation Z’ (Gen Z)?
The strawberry generation? Our current youths and young adults? Unknown urban slang like ‘cheugy’ and ‘sus’? These are some common answers you may think of.
But there is more to Gen Z. Born between the years 1997 and 2012; they are the future of Singapore. Especially since more of them are gearing up to join the workforce and are starting to play an increasingly important role in our society.
Gen Z is becoming a force to reckon with. They’re stepping out into the world and bringing a storm of change!
Digitalisation and Technology
And it will not stop there. These innovative and adaptable youths are leading in the further advancement of technology. For example, Artificial Intelligence (AI). Gen Z expects the broader digital world to know what their likes, wants and interests are and this has led to many companies adopting a more personalised approach with their customers (personalised experience).
Diversity and Inclusivity
Gen Z who grew up in a globally connected world are more diverse and inclusive. Social media has allowed them to learn about other cultures, news, and social issues earlier than previous generations.
Resulting in a population that is more open-minded, liberal, and advocates for the equal treatment of others. Issues like racism and sexism are some of the many concerns that Gen Z has, and they are not afraid to call others out on it.
They influence the people around them – like family, to be more accepting and inclusive to others. They also affect the economic and political fields as they tend to only support those who share the same open-mindedness.
This is making the world hyper aware of the discrimation and prejudice against minority groups, leading to more activism for more equality amongst people.
This will be beneficial for societies as we are able to be more accepting of each other and can learn from one another. There will be no limitations or restrictions to what a person can do, leading to more opportunities, and the further advancement of our communities.
Sustainability and Conservation
Growing up with the threat of global warming looming over them, Gen Z is more eco-friendly and supports sustainability and other conservation efforts. In fact, some Gen Z-ers have become influential figures in advocating for this cause – case and point: Greta Thunberg.
This leads to an increased awareness of climate change and global warming among the older generations, too, causing many to focus on environmental concerns.
This has also influenced nations and governments to invest and concentrate on environmental efforts and improving the environment sector, leading to more careers too!
Not only that, Gen Z is becoming the biggest consumer group and in 2021, accounted for 40 per cent of global consumers. So many markets are changing their strategies and tactics to be more environmentally friendly to appeal to them.
Making lessons more engaging – with alternative mediums like videos or games and reformatting their lessons to fit a digital platform. These are some things that educators have to adapt to cater to Gen Z.
Because of Gen Z’s heavy reliance on technology and their self-reliant nature, they have also given rise to independent learning. Many Gen Z students rely on the internet for information and resources.
As Gen Z begins stepping into the workforce, we can expect them to bring a few changes to the office.
First up, work-life balance. Gen Z cares most about work-life balance and personal well-being. Meaning that benefits like mental-health days and paid time off are what attract and retain Gen Z in companies.
Gen Z also expects transparency and authenticity in the workplace. Gen Z grew up in a world full of fake news and misinformation, which has made them sceptical and cautious towards their employers and coworkers.
They prefer direct, top-down communication between them and their employers. This means that companies will have to look to a closer communication network among their staff and make the workplace more transparent.
Gen Z is young and new to the workforce and society. But it is safe to say that there is so much capability in this group of youths that we can look forward to. For the development of Singapore and even the world.
With their tech-savviness, adaptability and acceptance to change, Gen Z has many great days ahead of them.
