HIGH-QUALITY ACETAL COPOLYMER RODS – Often considered a superior material in comparison to acetal homopolymer (POM-H), acetal copolymer (POM-C) has lower friction, higher impact, and higher chemical resistance, and more dimensionally stable. When a plastic part is called for in a project, acetal copolymer is often the first option especially in parts that require durability and wear resistance like in non-marring fixtures, electrical insulators, and bushings
VERSATILE AND DEPENDABLE MATERIAL – Acetal copolymer has applications in a wide variety of industries and niche interests. It is used in string instruments as a dulcimer bridge/nut. It’s even used in machining applications as a washer and an arbor material. There are also mandrels made of acetals. Other applications include buffer spacers/pins,
HIGH MOISTURE RESISTANCE – Among different types of acetals, acetal copolymer has the highest moisture, humidity, and high-temperature resistance. It doesn’t easily deteriorate or wear in wet environments. And because it absorbs minimal moisture, acetal copolymer retains its physical properties in different environments.
ZERO CENTERLINE POROSITY – Centerline or core porosity occurs when the acetal’s outer layer solidifies faster resulting in a loss of volume in the rod’s core. This is a big issue in acetal homopolymers. Acetal copolymers naturally have lower centerline porosity but with an excellent manufacturing process, it is possible to achieve zero centerline porosity, preventing outgassing and water penetration.
HIGHLY MACHINABLE – Aside from machining on a lathe, acetal copolymers are easy to cut using power saws and easy to sand using power sanders. As it can withstand high temperatures, this material won’t become gummy during the machining process. You can use lathes, milling machines, CNC router systems, drill press, miter saws, band saws, and even hand saws!

A man accused of killing a Kendal woman by setting her on fire fell out with her several days before she died, a court has been told. Carlisle Crown Court heard that 61-year-old Terrence Armer considered Stacey Mackie to be his girlfriend, although she looked upon him just as a friend.
Support staff at the Crag View sheltered accommodation in Kendal, in which Ms Mackie lived, said they were aware she and Armer fell out after last Christmas and that she had called the police after he then sent her texts and left messages on her answer phone.
Ms Mackie, 35, died after suffering "unsurvivable" burns in the incident at her flat in January.
Before she died in hospital, she told police her attacker was Terrence Armer. Armer, of Buttery Well Road, Kendal, denies murder..

Kimmerly Ranch House - Sheldrake Lake Rd, Cloyne
This is a very old photo of the Kimmerly Ranch House which was thought to be located around the Sheldrake Lake, on Gilmour Landing where Sheldrake Lake meets Skootamatta Lake (unconfirmed)...The back of the Post Card reads:.'Kimmerly Ranch House. Claude Wilfred Lessard, Francis Lessard, Henry Lloyd, Angus Andrews'...The following information about the ranch is cited from: Lake Tales - A. Douglas Alkenbrack - Memories of a Daughter by Eleanor Grennell on www.skootamatta.com ( http://www.skootamatta.com ) ..'In early September of 1969 my father, my husband Herbert, my grandfather Claude decided to take a drive north from Napanee. When they arrived at Cloyne, Claude suggested a left turn to drive in the old logging road that goes through to Skootamatta and Sheldrake lakes. At this point in time the road twisted and turned around the rocks and hills and was very narrow. Claude’s idea was that he would show his Uncle’s property his Uncle had used, through a quick claim deed. There had been an old homestead where he raised beef cattle back in the late 1800’s. Claude had spent time there when he was a boy. The homestead was situated near the landing between Sheldrake and Skootamatta lakes. They identified the spot where the old house had stood after finding the remnants of the root cellar. It sat on a rise looking down at the stream that flows out of Sheldrake Lake into Skootamatta. The old ranch was run by Robert W. Kimmerly, Claude’s Uncle who subsequently opened a General Store in Flinton. - See more at: www.skootamatta.ca/blog/douglas-alkenbrack-memories-daugh...

The always controversial Nigel Farage has accused the EU of promoting Irish nationalism and the idea of a united Ireland in a bid to sabotage Brexit.
The former Ukip leader was speaking on Leading Britain’s Conversation, a national talk show, about the infamous ‘Brexit dinner’ — a meeting between Theresa May and EU officials, which was a pretty awkward confrontation according to media reports.
But among the several tactics Farage accused the EU of using to make life as difficult as possible for a post-Brext Britian, he said that ‘worst of all’ was Europe’s decision to allow Northern Ireland back in the block if it joins up with the Republic.
‘The EU have indicated that if Northern Ireland would opt to leave the United Kingdom and join up with Eire, there would be absolutely no problem in a new United Ireland automatically becoming a member of the European Union’ said an angry Farage.
‘So what they are doing to try make Brexit negotiations difficult for this government is they are prepared to stoke Irish nationalism and all that could come with that.’
— LBC (@LBC) May 2, 2017
Farage added that this EU strategy is ‘the most contemptible thing I’ve heard so far’.
On Saturday, EU leaders officially confirmed that if Northern Ireland decided to leave Britain and unite with the Republic, the six counties would automatically enter the Union.
‘The entire territory of such a united Ireland would thus be part of the European Union’ said an EU statement during Saturday’s summit.
Enda Kenny said Europe’s decision was ‘hugely important in order to dispel any doubt or uncertainty’ — but added that a united Ireland was still a long way off.


Queensland Police Assistant Commissioner Brian Codd says the fact that two children survived the tragic Dreamworld accident is “almost a miracle”.
Lifeline has set up a dedicated number for those affected by the Dreamworld tragedy. Please call 1800 543 354.
Two children, aged 10 and 12, escaped after the raft on which they were travelling overturned, while four adults including three Canberrans were killed. Assistant Commissioner Codd says the children were thrown from the ride and then managed to extricate themselves.
“It seems from what I’ve seen almost a miracle that anyone could survive that. If we’re going to be thankful for anything, I’m thankful for that,” he said.
Assistant Commissioner Codd said the accident occurred just before the passengers were due to exit the ride.
“The devices that people sit on have come to the conclusion of the ride at the area where people get off,” he said.
“Something has occurred, where two of those have come together, and as a result, one has flipped backwards and it has caught and tossed some of the people that were on the ride backwards on the conveyer belt.”
“That’s off my viewing of the CCTV. The full analysis of how that occurred and how inconsistent that is with normal operating procedures will be very much at the forefront of our investigation.”
Assistant Commissioner Codd said the coronial investigation would examine everything related to the accident, from policies, procedures and maintenance schedules to whether the structures of the ride comply with contemporary engineering standards.
“If and where there are criminal aspects including negligence that warrant being pursued, we’ll do that,” he said.
Note: Assistant Commissioner Codd said in a press conference this morning that two girls, aged 10 and 13, were thrown into the water, but police have now clarified that should have been a boy, aged 10, and a girl, aged 12.


Yes, modern cities are generally more complex than cities of the past! This complexity is due to a variety of factors, including population growth, technological advances, increased specialization of labor, and changing social and economic structures. However, there are historical references that remain perennially relevant; one might even say universal, indispensable for meeting the challenges of the present and the future. These can be summed up in the ancient Epicurean idea that “cities should be designed to ensure the well-being and happiness of their inhabitants, both present and future”.” A concept forgotten in the anthropocentric revolution of the 20th century, when humanity overwhelmed the natural environment with unconditional development, as if it were the victim of a collective amnesia due to the fragmentation of knowledge, rapid social change, cultural homogenization and the decay of information. A phenomenon that has in fact resulted in the undermining of the anthropogenic, urban, and geographic ecosystem, along with heavy consumption of the planet in its resources and resilient systems. This is why, at the dawn of the third millennium, when humanity was facing an unprecedented global energy and environmental crisis, fundamental and primordial concepts such as the survival instinct were rediscovered. In this way, the role of man as an integral part of nature and the concept of the biologist Rachel Carson that “the health of man depends on the health of his environment” have been revived.

Today there is no room for amnesia, but rather a strong need for knowledge and awareness. The cities of our planet are entropic, they are home to more than half of the world’s rapidly growing population. They are certainly more complex than those of the past and, for this very reason, they are in greater need of education, historical preservation and the promotion of a sense of cultural identity and memory. In fact, in the various countries of the Old Continent, it is necessary to consider “zero land consumption” interventions, as sanctioned by the European Union, i.e. urban renewal interventions, together with the recovery of existing environments. A socio-cultural context in which the cities of our past can actually teach a method for achieving a systemic balance for the transition to a sustainable economy by 2050, and thus also for achieving the environmental objectives recently set out in Commission Recommendation (EU) 2023/1425 of 27 June 2023. Indeed, historic cities have a stratification of typological and technological solutions that represent best practice in terms of sustainability. For example, they are characterized by compact urban design, diversified use, efficient infrastructure and water management, integration with the surrounding natural environment, thoughtful urban design and cultural thinking. All of these features were incorporated into cities long before the modern focus on sustainability. Studying and understanding the lessons of historic cities can provide valuable insights into the future challenges of urban regeneration, building prosperous societies and preserving cultural and natural heritage.

One example is Venice, known as the ‘Queen of the Adriatic’, a city renowned for its uniqueness and fascinating history. Built on more than 100 small islands in a lagoon connected by canals and bridges, the city’s rich history has left many lessons to be learned. Venice is synonymous with adaptability, with the ability to adapt to its surroundings, teaching the importance of flexibility and creativity in the face of adversity. Venice is also synonymous with trade and diplomacy, as it flourished as a major trading power during the middle Ages and the Renaissance, reflecting the importance of international trade and diplomacy in building economic prosperity and promoting cultural exchange. Venice also stands for republic and democracy, as it offers valuable lessons in the importance of inclusive governance, with balances that have always included the voice of citizens in shaping the destiny of a city or nation. Venice is also known for the importance it has always attached to the preservation of its cultural heritage. Indeed, the Venetians have made considerable efforts to restore and preserve their historic buildings using traditional methods and materials; an important lesson in preserving our cultural heritage for future generations.

Finally, in relation to the challenges of climate change, Venice is an example of environmental stewardship. Its unique location and vulnerability to climate change have always linked it to issues of environmental sustainability. Indeed, the city’s constant struggle with high tides and flooding has stimulated and continues to stimulate ongoing discussions on reducing carbon emissions, promoting green transport and implementing innovative water management strategies. That is why Venice’s experience highlights the urgent need for both environmental management priorities and sustainable solutions to combat climate change; examples and solutions available for the development and regeneration of other cities around the world. This is also why, on 19 and 20 October 2023, the World Sustainability Capital will host the RICS World Built Environment Forum – Europe to discuss the sustainable future of the built environment. A consensus that will include the participation of all stakeholders in the decision-making process alongside policy makers. The WBEF will consider “The Oldest City of the Future” as an ongoing project to promote an environmental, economic, social and urban planning model for the sustainable development of any other city. An open discussion to ensure effective ESG policies that address sustainability across the board, starting with an understanding of the historical lesson, including a long-term vision, and encouraging the widest possible collaboration among all stakeholders.

In this context of socio-economic-cultural ferment, actions such as public-private partnerships or innovative formulas for the adaptive reuse of historical or underused structures, including the cultural regeneration of communities, become fundamental to the development or reinvention of the cities of the future. All this in a rebalanced relationship between man and the built environment, necessarily embedded in a very complex and rapidly evolving modern context that requires attention to socio-cultural roots and historical experience, as well as the use of powerful eco-digital tools. Indeed, the current ecological transition necessarily requires digital monitoring systems, intelligent resource management methods, sustainable product design and virtual collaboration and communication, which are already available, if only partially used. The integration of these eco-digital tools with those derived from a careful reading of historical experience will thus allow the management of a modern complexity that is particularly attentive to the sustainability and environmental responsibility of projects and processes. An approach that today, and even more so in the future, will allow a more efficient use of resources, will contribute to the reduction of waste and energy consumption and will favor the acceleration necessary to respond to the extraordinary environmental emergencies sanctioned by the Paris Agreement 2030-2050. An approach that could be defined as: future-ancient regeneration, in which man, at the centre of any systemic project, uses both the legacy of human tradition and the innovation of the present that looks to the future, both synchronously and asynchronously. All in order to ensure the well-being and happiness of present and future communities.

Donald Trump is considering a full pardon for former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who had pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about dealings with Russia’s ambassador before the president took office.
Mr Flynn attempted to withdraw the guilty plea in January, saying federal prosecutors had acted in “bad faith” and broke their end of the bargain when they sought prison time for him.
“I am strongly considering a Full Pardon,” President Trump tweeted.
So now it is reported that, after destroying his life & the life of his wonderful family (and many others also), the FBI, working in conjunction with the Justice Department, has âlostâ the records of General Michael Flynn. How convenient. I am strongly considering a Full Pardon!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 15, 2020
The president also cited an unspecified report that the Justice Department had lost records related to Mr Flynn’s case.
, but the relationship with the retired Army lieutenant general grew increasingly contentious after he hired a new set of lawyers.
Mr Flynn is one of six Trump aides and associates charged in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into ties between the Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign.
He pleaded guilty in December 2017 to lying to the FBI about his conversations with the Russian ambassador during the presidential transition period and provided extensive cooperation to Mr Mueller’s team of investigators.
His attorneys raised repeated misconduct allegations against the government — which a judge has since rejected — and prosecutors have responded by calling into question whether Mr Flynn truly accepts guilt.
Last month, US District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan ordered Mr Flynn’s sentencing hearing to be cancelled “until further order of the court”.
He gave both Mr Flynn and the Justice Department more time to submit filings on Mr Flynn’s request to withdraw his guilty plea, including claims he received ineffective legal assistance from his former lawyers.
Following Mr Flynn’s attempt to withdraw his plea, the Justice Department abruptly offered a more lenient sentencing recommendation.
The latest sentencing filing still seeks a sentence of up six months, but unlike before, prosecutors explicitly state that probation would be a “reasonable” punishment and that they would not oppose it.

Implement Initiatives to Apply the OGP at the Local Level (TN0046)
Action Plan: Tunisia Action Plan 2018-2020
Action Plan Cycle: 2018
Lead Institution: Municipalities involved within the OGP initiative in cooperation with the civil society coalition for Tunisia’s OGP program
Support Institution(s): Ministry of Local Affairs and Environment
Policy AreasE-Government, Local Commitments
Implement initiatives to apply the OGP at the local level
Beginning of October 2018 – End of August 2020
Lead implementing agency/actor
Municipalities involved within the OGP initiative in cooperation with the civil society coalition for Tunisia’s OGP program
This commitment comes within the framework of the exercise of local governance, which has become possible thanks to the several articles in the 2014 Constitution that promote this approach, as well as the provisions related to the transparency and open government included in the Code on Local Authorities adopted on May 2018. This commitment aims to establish initiatives on open government at the level of ten (10) municipalities, in a similar fashion to the OGP initiative launched at the national level, through adopting the same participatory approach. The specificity of this initiative is its potential to enable municipalities to develop commitments more in line with the region's characteristics and requirements, as well as rendering the administration more accessible to citizens by involving them in defining commitments and following up their implementation. This will occur through regular meetings of a joint committee comprising of representatives of the administration at the municipality level and representatives of the region's residents.
Moreover, a communication action plan will be established to further disseminate information about initiatives that will be implemented within the framework of this commitment, in addition to involving all active government and civil society stakeholders.
The OGP action plans have often focused on reforms at the national and sectorial levels in addition to some fields related to the open government concept. However, it was not possible to achieve reforms in line with specific needs and basic requirements of each region.
Thus, this commitment is intended to establish reform goals that are sensi- tive to the characteristics of various regions, while being in accordance with national strategic visions in the related fields and also drawing on international best practices.
Identification of commitment objectives/expected results
Develop a comprehensive action plan comprising region-specific reforms and enables the implementation of projects that contribute to achieving development and improving services provided to citizens. It should be noted that these reforms should be based on key OGP principles, particular- ly transparency, participation, and accountability, while employing ICT to promote these principles.
How will the commitment contribute to solve the public problem?
- Implement projects and initiatives serving the region and having a positive and direct impact on citizens' life;
- Approximate the open government concept to citizens and enable them to contribute to embedding this concept in their respective regions. This will improve the quality of services and contribute to building solid foundations to ensure good governance of public affairs at the local administration level.
Relevance with OGP values
This commitment is relevant with all main OGP's main axes considering that local action plans will focus on commitments that concern all OGP axes. Moreover, this commitment has been included in the participation and local governance chapter as it aims at providing further freedom and independence for municipalities and citizens at the local level to draw their programs and visions for enhancing the open government and its princi- ples.

Context and Objectives
This commitment aims to apply the OGP at the local level, dovetailing with Tunisia’s ongoing decentralization process. The country’s first local elections took place in May 2018. According to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, this decentralization process has the potential to address long-standing issues of dramatic regional disparities in healthcare, education, poverty, and infrastructure by empowering local actors to make decisions regarding their regions’ specific needs.
This commitment intends to develop open government plans at the local level in 10 municipalities through regular meetings of joint committees consisting of representatives of the municipalities and the region's residents. The Tunisian Association of Local Governance plans to support participating municipalities and local CSOs by providing training on the co-creation process.  The commitment also entails a communication plan that will disseminate information about initiatives to be implemented, in addition to involving all active government and civil society stakeholders. These milestones are specific enough to be verifiable.
This commitment is relevant to the OGP value of civic participation, as the local open government plans are meant to be developed by joint committees including local citizens. It is also relevant to the OGP value of access to information due its communication plan.
This commitment could have a transformative potential impact on involving local actors in the OGP process. During the co-creation process, the focus on leveraging commitments from the local level to serve the national action plan led the multi-stakeholder forum to realize that there was a need for action plans tailored to the local level.  Considering the highly centralized structure of the Tunisian government and the need for decentralization, this commitment offers a first-time opportunity for local actors to facilitate this shift. Action plans created at the local level with participation of local actors have the capacity to better reflect local needs and can build stronger collaboration of local citizens in the implementation phase.
Given the opportunity this commitment represents to introduce open government principles at the local level, the IRM recommends that specific strategies are put in place to ensure participation from groups such as women, youth, and other marginalized groups to reflect their needs in the resulting open government local actions.
IRM End of Term Status Summary
11. Implement initiatives to apply the OGP at the local level
For details regarding the implementation and early results of this commitment, see Section 2.3.
Aim of the commitment
This commitment aimed to apply OGP at the local level. It complemented Tunisia’s ongoing decentralization process and the country’s first local elections which took place in May 2018.  It also builds on Commitment 4 in Tunisia's previous action plan, which resulted in a guide on open government principles and best practices for the local level.  In the current iteration, the first milestone asks representatives of 12 municipalities, along with residents, to develop open government plans. The second milestone creates a communication plan to disseminate information about the local plans’ initiatives.
Did it open government?
The commitment was substantially implemented as eight municipal councils each adopted a local OGP action plan. However, this occurred in early 2021, after this action plan’s cycle. According to government,  the delay was due to the COVID-19 crisis.
Implementation of the commitment brought a major opening of government, specifically at the local level. Tunisia's OGP multistakeholder forum appointed a municipal committee from its members, comprised of an equal number  of CSOs  and government representatives. This committee devised the 10 criteria  to select municipalities to develop plans. Among these criteria were: access to information and online transparency infrastructure, active publication of financial and public procurement documents, maintaining a complaint register and processing system, organizing open government trainings, and municipal councilmembers' filing of asset declarations with the Anticorruption Authority. This committee assessed 72 applications and initially chose 12 municipalities, which later came down to 10.  The chosen local administrations satisfied all the criteria and received trainings on open government by the government and other organizations.  As the criteria required, all participating local administrations had already made some steps in opening government, but the future OGP action plans were to be their first comprehensive strategic documents in this policy field, which prompted the need for specific trainings on open government.  In each municipality, five CSOs were also engaged in the process.  In the end, eight municipalities submitted OGP local action plans drafted with local civil society and the support of the national government.  Civil society and the municipalities organized a series of both online and in-person public consultations on the plans and citizens’ opinions were taken into account.  The action plans were adopted by the municipal council after a consultation with the central government in January 2021, thus completing the first milestone after the end of the 2018–2020 OGP cycle.
During the selection of the 12 municipalities and then while creating the action plans, CSOs, the government, and the World Bank's Multi-Donor Trust Fund enacted a communication plan to further disseminate information.  This communication plan involved a social media campaign, three round tables, information days in five universities, meeting with decisionmakers from both national and local levels, OGP week events, and an online consultation.  These activities were carried out before the end of the action plan cycle, hence the second milestone was completed on schedule. The government added that there were a number of communication events and activities organized for the benefit of these municipalities by the e-Government Unit and with the cooperation of a number of technical and financial partners, namely the GIZ, AFD, and OECD. These events supported municipalities throughout the drafting of their action plans, by promoting open government values and sharing methodology and tools.
Aicha Karafi Hosni, president of Association Tunisienne de Gouvernance Locale, and participant in the criteria design and selection of the municipalities, explained that merely designing the action plans were an improvement in itself.  It brought local government and civil society to the same table, working together as partners instead of as adversaries like in the past.  However, Hatem Chakroun from the independent think-tank, Observatoire Tunisien de la Transition Démocratique, criticized the low levels of ambition and precision in the local plans.  The eight action plans published on the OGP Tunisia government portal share mostly the same content: improving access to information; developing open data; digitalizing services for citizens; developing a communication plan; and organizing trainings on open government for civil servants.
Chakroun noted that the Gabès and Zriba action plans both have a commitment on gathering and publishing geographical and natural resource data at local levels, which he considers ambitious and having a high potential to open government.  Asma Cherifi, president and founder of TACID Network,  who helped design and implement these commitments, commented that Tunisians are very interested in transparency and public participation, as covered in these commitments. However, Chakroun notes the lead government agency is the E-Government Unit and not the Ministry of Local Affairs and the Environment, which would be a more suitable institution for the commitments’ goals. Implementation challenges include a lack of specific financing,  weak local leadership, and the need for national and local government to promote OGP initiatives instead of relying on CSOs.
Tunisia's adoption and cocreation of eight local OGP action plans are a major step to open government in terms of transparency and public participation. Tunisia’s Constitution  and the Local Government Code  provide for all municipalities to enact development programs based on open government principles. Both the central government  and civil society actors  see the OGP local action plans as an implementation of some of these legal obligations by the respective municipalities.
Looking ahead, challenges include the need for strong ownership and leadership by local and central government, and implementing ambitious reforms that extend beyond the legal obligations already in place.

The English bass, Richard Wistreich, was educated at King's College, Cambridge (BA), University of Birmingham (MA Music) and Royal Holloway College (PhD, in progress).
Since then he has become one of the leading bass singers in the field of pre-Romantic music. Richard Wistreich has been performing as a soloist and as an ensemble singer in concerts, recordings, opera and recitals, with a special emphasis on the music of the 16th and 17th centuries for more than two decades.
In the course of his career Richard Wistreich has toured throughout Europe, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and many other countries, singing, teaching and passing on his driving enthusiasm for vocal performance in all its forms. He has at various times been closely associated with early music ensembles and musicians such as The Consort of Musicke (with Emma Kirkby), the Taverner Consort (Andrew Parrott), Schütz Choir (Roger Norrington), The Academy of Ancient Music (Christopher Hogwood) and, since 1989 with the ensemble Red Byrd, which he founded together with the singer John Potter (Hilliard Ensemble). Red Byrd is dedicated to performing vocal music both ancient and modern, often together in the same concert. They have produced more than a dozen innovative CDs of repertoire ranging from 12th century Parisian Organum (the earliest Western notated polyphonic music) which won the French Diapaison d'Or d'Année in 1999, through major discs of Renaissance and Baroque music to works especially written for them by contemporary composers.
As a soloist, Richard Wistreich has specialised in the virtuoso solo repertoire for bass singer from the 16th and 17th centuries, which he performs together with musicians such as the lutenists Nigel North and Elizabeth Kenny. He has recorded more than 70 CD’s for companies including EMI, Hyperion, Sony Classical, Chandos, Naxos, CRD, and Saydisc. Recent performances include solo recitals and chamber music concerts in Berlin, Florence, Wellington (New Zealand), Zurich, London, Cambridge,York, Austin, Texas and St Paul, Minnesota and in Monteverdi opera productions in Japan (Seneca in l'Incoronazione di Poppea and Caronte in Orfeo).
Richard Wistreich is also very active as a teacher. Since 1991 he has been professor of singing at the Institut für Alte Musik at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik in Trossingen, Germany and he was Director of the Institut from 1999-2001. He is invited to give courses for performers of early music throughout the world and has been a regular teacher at, amongst others, the Hilliard Ensemble Summer School, the Sommerakademie für Alte Musik, Innsbruck, the Israel Baroque Workshop, the International Händel Akademie in Karlsruhe and at many universities, conservatories and colleges. He is also an active scholar and is currently completing his doctoral dissertation on solo bass singing in 16th century Italy at Royal Holloway College, University of London. Papers have been read at meetings of the Institute for Historcal Research (London) American Musicological Society, the Renaissance Society of America, the International Musicological Society and at the British Academy. He has recently published a study of Renaissance, Baroque and Classical vocal technique in The Cambridge Companion to Singing (Cambridge University Press 2000).

Numerical simulation of constrained melting inside spherical capsule by lattice Boltzmann method
(2.State Key Laboratory of Coal Mine Safety Technology, CCTEG Shenyang Research Institute, Shenyang, Liaoning, China 110016)
【Abstract】Phase change materials (PCMs) are mainly used to provide high storage densities. The spherical geometry is one of the most interesting cases for heat storage applications. The present study used the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to investigate constrained melting process of PCMs in a spherical capsule, which can be useful for the study on phase change phenomenon of microencapsulated PCM slurry in the future. The phase interface is traced by updating the total enthalpy, while the moving interface is treated by the immersed moving boundary scheme. The computational results of the melting process of PCMs are analyzed at different scales. The numerical simulations at macro-scale are compared with the published experimental data, and the results clearly show that the thermal stratification is in the upper spherical capsule while the waviness phase front is at the bottom of the solid PCM. Quantitative analysis of the temperatures at nine points, eight points along the vertical axis and the other one near the inner shell, further indicates the existence of chaotic convective motion at the bottom of the spherical capsule. In addition, the effect of the natural convection on the melting process is reduced with the decrease of capsule sizes. When the diameter of capsule is less than 3 mm, the natural convection can be ignored.

I've search around but was unable to find the simple answer if one exists. I have a relay I plugged into a GE Smart Switch that I would like to turn on for 2 seconds then off to active my garage door. It's not a Z-wave enabled Garage door opener just a relay I bought and wired to a Smart Switch. I've seen some posts on the virtual switch but it seems like I'm missing something and that it should be simpler. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fantastic middle grade with a genius middle schooler whose world is turned upside down when her parents are killed in a car accident. This is one of those stories where an unlikely cast of characters come together to make things right, characters get enlightened along the way, bonds form and the ending is hopeful. Lots of books try to do this; Counting by 7s nails it. It’s being compared to Sharon Draper’s “Out of My Mind.” It made me also think of Susan Patron’s “Higher Power of Lucky” and Joan Bauer’s “Almost Home,” mixed with Lisa Yee’s “Millicent Min.” Humor, heart, and you learn a ton through 12-year-old Willow Chance’s observations. Another bonus, that I wish we didn’t have to still call out: Diverse group of characters in terms of ethnicities (Vietnamese, Spanish, unnamed) and personalities — just the way life and friendship is in most of our communities. Love this one!
A YA novel with the characters in college is the first big draw on this one. Cather and her twin sister Wren are freshmen at University of Nebraska, struggling to establish their own identities and pushing each other away in the process. Great voice throughout this novel, with a fascinating look at the world of fanfiction. I loved everything about this book and have already been recommending it to John Green fans. What a great year 2013 is with two books (Eleanor & Park published earlier) from Rainbow Rowell!
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Well-plotted YA mystery with attitude (publisher says “Twin Peaks meets Revenge” — and that’s not far off….). After Anne is expelled from a prep school on the Upper Eastside, her dad buys her a way into an exclusive boarding school outside of Boston. A murder on campus, an administration that buries secrets, and no one believing Anne means she’s on her own to track the murderer. A couple of red herrings AND steam tunnels!!! (All campuses and mysteries should have steam tunnels.) Recommended for fans of Ally Carter’s “Heist Society” series.
Consider this passage from when the children first go to school and learn penmanship and rules:
“They learn not to swear. They get prizes for obedience, for following the rules down to the last detail. They’re delighted by these rules, these arbitrary lines that regulate behavior and mark off forbidden things and they examine them closely and exhaust their teachers with questions about the mechanical functioning and the hidden intricacies of these beings, the rules …”
Gosh, you know, that whole section was delightful when I first read it. The problem with posting it here, out of context, is that it might not actually entice you into reading this book. That’s always a problem with excerpts, though.
This is the kind of writing I used to revel in. Too often these days, I read for a different kind of escape, where I want to get whisked into a story or involved with the characters. Now, don’t get me wrong – I cared a lot for the four kids in this book. But it was the writing that I most looked forward to each time I opened the book, the way that Swann let me in to observe this family and their friends, never making a judgment. I think this would be an exceptional fictional companion read for The Glass Castle, a memoir by Jeanette Walls.
Photographer Abby Mason and her fiance’s daughter, six-year-old Emma, are enjoying the day at Ocean Beach in San Francisco. Abby stops to photograph a dead baby seal, a diversion that lasts maybe 20 or 40 seconds – seconds that will replay endlessly in Abby’s mind during the next year; a few seconds that were long enough for Emma to disappear. When Emma isn’t immediately found, the assumption is that she must have drowned in the unpredictable currents. Most people give up, but Abby continues to believe that Emma is out there – she just needs to be found.
Memory plays a big part in this story, as Abby examines how we remember things, confabulation (filling in gaps in memory with fabrications that one believes to be facts) and how memories disappear. Abby struggles to find Emma, struggles to keep her relationship with Emma’s father and struggles to understand why Emma’s mother, who has been absent from the little girl’s life for three years, is back in a picture that has no Emma.
The plot recalls Jacquelyn Mitchard’s Deep End of the Ocean, but I think this book does much more on a literary level. The writing is spare, managing to be more vivid and emotional than you assume. My friend Susan said it’s “underwritten,” and that is a perfect description. Emotion, too, is off the pages, as if hiding in the margins and waiting to unfold in your head. The Year of Fog has a perfect balance of story and underlying philosophical ideas.


“I still have my options open,” Justice Stevens said in the interview, which was conducted on March 8. He added that he would make up his mind in about a month.
Justice Stevens, the court’s longest-serving justice and the leader of its liberal wing, has hired only one law clerk for the term that starts in October. That is the number allotted to retired justices; active ones get four.
But the justice cautioned against reading too much into that hint. “When I decided to just hire one clerk,” he said, “three of my four clerks last year said they’d work for me next year if
I wanted them to.”
Justice Stevens, who will turn 90 next month, was willing to make one categorical statement.
“You can say I will retire within the next three years,” he said. “I’m sure of that.”

Health and wellness is the lack of condition or imperfection. There are numerous meanings of health that have progressed in time. The World Financial institution specifies wellness as “the state of total physical as well as mental health.” In modern-day society, health is specified as the lack of any kind of indication of defect or problems, including emotional and social well-being. The World Company specifies wellness as the absence of all 3 problems. The Globe Financial institution uses this interpretation. Other definitions have evolved over time.
The WHO defines wellness as a state of total social and also physical health. While physical health and wellness is a human’s body, psychological wellness describes the capability to deal with tension and also preserve homeostasis. While wellness is very important in a person’s life, it is also essential to identify that wellness requires a person to establish skills and also connections that will make their lives better in the long run. Having both mental and physical well-being is important for preserving a favorable social and also economic overview.
Public health entails the avoidance and also therapy of condition. It concentrates on personal and also social resources, in addition to physical capacities. It teaches healthy way of livings as well as practices and also informs people about sex-related as well as reproductive wellness. It likewise urges inoculations and also making use of prophylactics. Typically, public health advertises healthy living as well as reduces disease as well as suffering amongst the population. Better, it urges inoculation programs and also making use of sanitary items and also alcohol consumption clean water.
The World Wellness Organisation defines health as “complete health with no indications or signs and symptoms of disease or imperfection”. This term includes physical and mental capacities in addition to the setting in which the individual lives. Exercise and various other physical activities can also improve an individual’s capability to cope. The promotion of wellness is a way to accomplish these objectives. In other words, it refers getting rid of condition and reducing suffering.
According to the Globe Wellness Organization’s constitution, health is the lack of disease. Nevertheless, the right to health is identified in countless nationwide constitutions of various countries. It is an essential human right that calls for timely accessibility to premium health care. It is not a problem that can be acquired or moved, neither is it an issue of race. The WorldHealth Organization’s definition of health is based on modern scientific research and also the understanding of various conditions. Simply put, people have to appreciate the highest feasible requirement of health and wellness.
The ‘total health’ concept is a deceptive definition of wellness. This principle does rule out the social determinants of health. The social factors of one’s wellbeing include the physical conditions of a neighborhood. In addition, poor health and wellness outcomes are usually the outcome of inadequate social and economic problems. As a result, a good interpretation of ‘health and wellness’ is necessary for the growth of efficient interventions to boost the quality of life for all. The objective of the WHO is to improve the lifestyle for every person.
The initial interpretation of health and wellness concentrates on physical and mental wellbeing. This method stresses physical health and wellness and also the absence of disease. The 2nd definition of health consists of a variety of social and also psychological variables. However, the initial meaning of health and wellness follows the concept of “complete wellness”. This is a basic summary of the state of the individual. The concept is also used to define the total top quality of a person’s setting. There are a number of different ways to specify wellness.
According to the Globe Health Organization, health is the absence of disease or infirmity as well as is a basic resource permanently. A person’s health can be specified as the ability to live independently and with marginal support. As a matter of fact, it is feasible for an individual to be healthy and balanced at any type of age and also under any kind of conditions. The meaning of wellness has developed since then. Initially, it was defined as the absence of condition or imperfection. Today, health and wellness is a resource for day-to-day living.
The World Wellness Organisation (WHO) has actually specified health as the lack of disease. The WHO defines wellness as a full state of physical, psychological, as well as social wellness. Thus, there is no solitary global meaning of health. In addition to genes, it likewise depends upon a person’s lifestyle and on the atmosphere. There are lots of elements that figure out health and wellness. It is necessary to think about the social determinants of an individual’s life, as these are the aspects that influence their physical and also psychological health and wellness.
The World Wellness Organization defines wellness as a state of full physical and also psychological health. This definition is likewise used by the United Nations, the Globe Bank, and other institutions. There are a few other interpretations of wellness that are popular. Some take into consideration health to be a mental or social condition as well as others are just a state of total well-being. If you desire a definition that fits your wants and needs, continue reading. Here are the most common ones:
Work-related health and wellness is another essential element of health and wellness. This is an ability that can be discovered in institution or by taking a workout course. The WHO specifies health as total physical as well as psychological health. People are able to work effectively with a balanced lifestyle and a good physical and also mindset. Nevertheless, numerous elements influence an individual’s physical and also mental wellness. If an individual is struggling with a cardiovascular disease or is having difficulty breathing, health care will certainly not help them.
A meaning of health have to be universal. Actually, it must be a state of full well-being, no matter gender, race, age, or physical problems. An excellent interpretation of health is crucial in order to be effective in medical care. For instance, the World Health Organisation has a new version of exactly how to define ‘wellness’. The term ‘wellness’ includes the physical, emotional, as well as social aspects of disease. Because of this, the word ‘health’ is extensively acknowledged as essential to healthcare. online marijuana dispensary canada
In 1948, the Globe Health Organization defined health as an absence of conditions as well as infirmities. Today, we have the capability to adjust to new hazards and infirmities. The that’s meaning of health is based on modern-day science recognition of the conditions as well as problems that individuals might establish. The WHO’s Constitution has held considering that 1948. While the World Health And Wellness Organization has a clear meaning of wellness, some experts believe that it needs to be redefined to consist of more than simply disease.

Spending Time: A Sculpture Walk and Talk with Artist Neil Goodman
August 4, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pmFree
“As years become decades, we remember both the people and experiences that create the texture of our lives. Our stories become linked with others, and the closer our bonds the more we share. Yet we might wonder if we can share similar experiences with a work of art, as they in their own way, accompany us throughout our lives.” – Neil Goodman

About three dozen voters in Grand Prairie reported that someone fraudulently used their names to request mail-in ballots, mirroring a pattern of recent complaints in West Dallas, the county's elections head said Monday.
A suspicious man has shown up in both places offering elderly residents "assistance" with their mail-in ballots, raising the possibility that he could tamper with the ballots, said Dallas County Elections Administrator Toni Pippins-Poole.
"This is very alarming, and we take this very seriously," Pippins-Poole said.
Elections officials have provided the man's name and information to authorities, Pippins-Poole said. Citing the criminal investigation, she declined to publicly release the name or say whether he was believed to be linked to a particular political candidate.
The man knocked on the residents' doors and in some cases identified himself as a Dallas County elections department employee there to help them with the mail-in ballots they had requested, Pippins-Poole said. But the residents who complained said they hadn't requested mail-in ballots.
Others reported receiving mail-in ballots but no visits from the man.
Residents should know that the county will never send anyone to their homes or assist them with filling out their ballots, Pippins-Poole said.
The Grand Prairie complaints began to come in Thursday, when voter fraud concerns in West Dallas made headlines as Mayor Mike Rawlings and state Rep. Eric Johnson held a news conference about them.
The elections department has received more than 60 complaints in West Dallas related to fraudulently requested mail-in ballots. In the past, the county has received perhaps a dozen complaints a year, she said.
"We've never received this many complaints," she said.
Dallas County does not send out mail-in ballots unless a voter requests them. And to receive one, the voter must be over 65 years old, disabled, out of the county for the entirety of the election or incarcerated but still eligible to vote.
If a voter fits one of those descriptions, he or she can submit a written request, with a signature and home address, to receive a mail-in ballot.
Many of the complainants in both of the affected areas said their signatures had been forged, Pippins-Poole said.
The Dallas County district attorney's office is investigating the voter fraud complaints.
The latest allegations come after some voters reported arriving to polling stations in November to find that someone had already voted in their names using a mail-in ballot.
Aurelio Castillo, who's running to unseat Grand Prairie City Council member Jeff Copeland for the Place 7 at-large seat, said at least 10 residents told him they had received mail-in ballots that they didn't request.
"These people were livid," said Castillo, who was campaigning in Dallas County Precinct 4515 near his home in north Grand Prairie when he received the complaints. "It was the first I had heard of it. They were just making me aware of it."
Copeland said Monday he "certainly has heard" of complaints about fraudulent mail-in ballots but has not had any direct contact with anyone who had received one.
"This is something that is very concerning to me, as it should be for all American citizens," said Copeland, who is seeking his third term on the council.

To ‘bring world class railway technology to the common man’, 121 LHB type stainless steel coaches were supplied for non-AC mail/express trains, and RCF plans to switch over completely to production of LHB type coaches in the near future.
Very Early Smoke Detection Alarm systems are now being installed on stainless steel coaches. All coaches are being supplied with ‘bio-toilets’ incorporating treatment technology developed in association with the Defence Research & Development Establishment, and retrofitting these to existing vehicles took the total number installed in 2013-14 to 2 096.
In addition to its own production, RCF Kapurthala supplied 150 partly-completed coaches to Indian Railways’ RCF Raebareli plant.

Sword Art Online - Episode 13
As all the side stories are tied off, this episode begins the endgame of Sword Art Online. Will our heroes survive
Firstly, my apologies for the delay of this review: I have been attending my cousin s 5th birthday party in Wales a land where there is no wifi, it seems and following the party, I have come down with a cold. I am typing now, tissues in hand, trying to objectively review episode 13 of Sword Art Online in spite of my congestion.
In comparison with Sword Art Online s sister series, Accel World, the pacing of this season seems to have different nuances. For instance, Accel World had more of a focus on longer overarching story arcs, with side stories changing or interrupting the flow. Sword Art Online, on the other hand, has been playing around with shorter, self-contained storylines with a focus on a single or group of characters, considered disposable when the plot demands it. This short-arc structure has served SAO well: in some ways, the series as a whole can be seen as an anthology, gathering a number of stories together where Kirito has touched another player s life.
This episode is disguised as another side story: while fishing at the lake, a senior player invites Kirito to join him in catching the biggest fish of the lake. Said senior, named Nishida, used to be the head of an internet security firm coincidentally, the same firm that protects Aincrad, the Sword Art Online world. Nishida is quite clearly not the combatant type, so while he waits for others to complete the game, he is passing his days SAO s fishing holes.
I had expected the fishing side story to fill the whole episode, but here my expectations were subverted quite early in the episode, the monstrous fish is dragged out from the depths and, as is common with all fishing trips, Asuna fillets it with her rapier. Nishida thanks Kirito and Asuna, and wishes he could do more to help them. There is a touching scene with these three, and Asuna reaffirms the reason she is fighting at the front lines.
Having worked on the anthology angle throughout the series, the production team seem to have fit an episode s worth of story into ten minutes. It feels rounded, complete and amazingly unhurried. This is an achievement which not many studios can pull off, so I doff my cap to them. Simultaneously, they have prepared the viewer for what seems like the final arc of the SAO storyline. We have seen a number of stories that represent the events of the last two years, depicting the months that have passed by. Now, we are finally presented with an ultimate deadline.
The importance of Kirito to the Sword Art Online players is threaded into episode 13 even when talking about fish, he has been given great significance by other characters. When called by Heathcliff to fight the highest level dungeon, this significance is capitalised on. As the game continues, it becomes clear that a few of the players have been moved to hospital because of their declining health. This is definitely a shift towards an endgame story arc. Two years ago, anyone could have spearheaded the frontlines now Kirito has to take charge, or more people could die.
After meeting up with old companions Klein and Egil, all the front-line players head for the dungeon. Trapped in the boss room, they fight for their freedom against the deadliest boss they have encountered.
To conclude: this is a well-paced episode, managing both a light-hearted story and the greater story arcs in parallel. There are some good touches, and both comic and serious fight animation looks suitably epic in scale. This episode is preparing for the final cadence that will lead to the conclusion of Sword Art Online s two year battle, and I am glad to have watched it.


They include two former advisers to Donald Trump Jr. — Andrew Surabian and Arthur Schwartz — and an adviser to former president Donald Trump, Ross Worthington, who assisted in drafting Trump’s January 6, 2021, rally speech.
“We have reason to believe the individuals we’ve subpoenaed today have relevant information,” the committee stated. “We expect them to join the more than 340 individuals who have spoken with the Select Committee.”
In a speech on Tuesday, President Joe Biden called the attack an attempted “coup” for the first time.
The speech came on the heels of Biden’s forceful address marking the one-year anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack last week. Tuesday’s speech appears to be the first instance of the president using the word “coup” to describe the attack, which he called an “armed insurrection.”
Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, Democratic chairman of the panel, issued subpoenas on Tuesday to Andy Surabian and Arthur Schwartz, strategists who advised Donald Trump Jr., and Ross Worthington, a former White House official who the committee said helped draft the speech Trump gave at the rally directly preceding last year’s attack.

“As you know in fashion, one day you’re in. And the next you’re out.” Heidi Klum’s famous tagline has been a show staple since its inception. True to form, Project Runway has always been about what’s “in.” The design competition, which is now in its ninth season, thrives off creating what’s both current and innovative in fashion. Thus, it’s no surprise that the show has now begun to utilize social media to its advantage, too. And with a Twitter following of nearly 83,000, it’s clear that Project Runway is garnering increased viewer involvement. From a viewer’s perspective, here are a few of the advantages of the show’s use of Twitter:
Viewers Watch in Real Time
Because the weekly Twitter chats happen in real time, viewers who closely follow the show will want to watch in real time, too. Over the past several years, the rise in DVR recorders and online hosts have enabled viewers to record their favorite shows, enjoying them after the original air date with no or limited commercials. However, Project Runway viewers are now further compelled to tune in on Thursday nights at 9/8 central time. Additionally, when they use the #projectrunway hashtag in their tweets, they’re discussing their thoughts on the show with tens of thousands of other viewers.
Viewers Communicate with Judges and Contestants
Through the chats, two-way communication is enabled between those involved in the show and the viewers. When asked during last week’s Twitter chat, Nina Garcia (@ninagarcia), Marie Claire fashion director and judge, confirmed that she doesn’t see the workroom footage until the show actually airs. In confessing that she watches much of the show for the first time, too, Nina placed herself in the same position as the show’s viewers, allowing for a more natural flow of conversation. Similarly, Anya (@AnyadeRogue) and Anthony Ryan (@ryanauld) especially are known for using the chats to thank viewers for their votes and compliments. To their own benefit, other designers are starting to pick up on the trend, too, sounding off on their thoughts about the current episode.
Viewers Vote for Their Favorite Designers
This season, Project Runway has also brought back the Fan Favorite competition. The show has registered a hashtag, such as #PR9joshuam, for each of the contestants. Not only are these hashtags used during the chats to discuss the designers, but they’re also used to vote. According to the competition’s rules, each hashtag incorporated into a tweet counts as a vote, with only one vote counted every five minutes. All twenty of the season’s designers qualify, and whomever has the most votes by the season’s finale will be awarded $10,000. As some of the designers are apparently realizing, the prize is worth some tweeting on their ends!
Viewers Follow Their Favorite Designers
In addition to voting for their favorite designers and incorporating their hashtags into tweets, viewers can now follow their favorite designers, too. Not only do designers build a Twitter following, but their accounts usually include their websites, too. Consequently, Twitter followers can continue to invest more time – and eventually capital – in supporting the designers’ efforts and future collections. Since several of the show’s best designers use Twitter to their advantage anyway, the social media site’s full impact is tough to gauge. Still, through Twitter, the reputations of the designers who are cut from the show certainly won’t diminish as quickly.
Regardless of which designers stay in this week, it’s quite clear that Project Runway’s decision to use Twitter will keep viewers “in” all season long!

In fact, this decision was announced at the same time that the Regime is causing outrage internationally for sentencing Nasrin Sotoudeh, a human rights activist, lawyer, and holder of the Sakharov Prize, a long prison term and 148 lashes for merely defending people arrested for protesting the forced hijab.
Iranian women have also been majorly involved in the nationwide uprising that began in December 2017 and spread to 160 cities shortly after. These people are chanting anti-regime slogans and making it clear that the mullahs need to go.
In the past year, Iranian women took part in over 1,500 pickets, strikes, sit-ins, rallies and marches to demand that the Regime respect the human rights of the Iranian people, compared with 436 protests in the previous year.
In the 2019 Annual Report from the Women’s Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), it is shown that the Iranian women protesting come from all age groups, all occupations, all social classes, and all ethnicities. All Iranian women want the corrupt rulers removed from power.
This is something that even the Regime has been forced to admit, with many Revolutionary Guard commanders confessing to increased arrests of Iranian women for protesting, something that Amnesty International said signals a human rights crisis in Iran.
Human Rights Watch urged Iran to drop all charges against protesters for peaceful assembly and release those detained, while the UN General Assembly has called on the Regime to end “widespread restrictions” on personal freedoms and the “harassment and intimidation” of political opponents, human rights defenders, workers, students and environmental activists.
And all of this is happening against a backdrop of regional interference, terrorist plots in Europe, and attacks on Iranian dissidents orchestrated by the Iranian Regime and their proxies.
Hassan Mahmoudi, a human rights advocate and journalist, wrote: “The appointment of Iran at U.N. Women’s Rights Committee has not a significant effect because the right solution lies in the hands of a young organized generation risen in this path demanding the regime’s overthrow. they formed resistance units who lead the protests and strikes and draw the conclusion and have ultimate say on the streets.”

Who is Ruler Adrian Dagdag?
Prince adrian dagdag Twitter Video is a youthful web-based entertainment VIP who has amassed an enormous following on the web, particularly on the stage TikTok. Situated in the Philippines, Adrian originally joined TikTok in 2019 under the handle “imadriandagdag16”. He immediately enchanted watchers with his comedic lip-synchronizing recordings and lively dance schedules. Adrian’s healthy appeal and great ability for performing inspired an emotional response from crowds.
In no less than a year, the youthful substance maker had acquired more than 12 million devotees on TikTok. Fans warmly alluded to Adrian as “Kid Charot”, loving his innocent great looks and lively character. The moniker stuck, becoming Ruler Adrian’s epithet among loving fans.
What occurred in the Ruler Adrian Dagdag Twitter video?
Toward the beginning of January 2024, a video started coursing on Twitter that ignited extreme public hypothesis about Filipino web-based entertainment big name Sovereign Adrian Dagdag. The bad quality video shows Dagdag participated in an actual squabble with obscure people at a jam-packed bar or club.
The specific situation and conditions encompassing the video are muddled. Where it was recorded is obscure, similar to the timetable of when the occasions occurred. All that is detectable is Sovereign Adrian seeming upset and engaged with some sort of question that rapidly turns actual before the video removes.
The secretive video incited a surge of inquiries and discussions among Ruler Adrian’s fans and general society overall. Individuals needed to understand what prompted the showdown, what the result, and Adrian’s reaction would be to the recording that appeared prone to influence his healthy public picture. Some came to the VIP’s protection while others utilized the outrage to disgrace him ethically.
For what reason did the video become a web sensation?
The dubious video including famous online entertainment figure Ruler Prince adrian dagdag Twitter Video immediately turned into a web sensation because of the public’s interminable interest with VIP embarrassment. Adrian’s unmistakable quality as a significant TikTok star with more than 12 million devotees guaranteed that anything possibly shocking or humiliating about him would catch wide consideration. Individuals relish the chance to see a profoundly arranged web-based persona went against or discolored here and there.
Past Adrian’s notoriety, the items in the actual video added to its virality. The vagueness over the thing precisely was occurring joined with the interest of seeing a typically beguiling superstar obviously unsettled and actual incited extreme hypothesis. Watchers watched the clasp again and again attempting to perceive more subtleties and concoct speculations about the unique circumstance. The secret connected with individuals’ creative mind and interest.
Where can individuals watch the video?
The disputable video showing Filipino web-based entertainment star Ruler Adrian Dagdag previously arose on Twitter toward the beginning of January 2024. It was initially posted on a few tattle centered Twitter accounts taking special care of Filipino crowds. From that point it immediately spread to Twitter clients around the world. Adrian’s fame guaranteed extraordinary interest in the Philippines as well as universally among his huge number of online entertainment devotees.
Before long the viral clasp was shared generally on different stages like TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, and Snapchat. Given Sovereign Adrian’s virtual entertainment big name status, the video got over from Twitter to pretty much every significant stage. Individuals enthusiastic for a first impression or an opportunity to give their quick reaction re-posted it across their organizations.

Leek and Cheese Quiche
It was mostly because I was too lazy to visit New Market (one of the biggest market in Calcutta which stocks up a lot of ingredients) and due to the encephalitis scare we are all avoiding Porky items. That is a big drawback for me because when you have ham and cheese and a bit of bacon anyone can make a fabulous dish but with no porky items I was a bit confused. What added to that confusion was the absence of my internet but I had Camembert at home and having made quiche and tarts before I decided that I would just take a shot and create a recipe .
Once you make tarts and quiche shells you get an idea about the ingredients ratio etc and so its not too problematic to make a tart shell. I knew exactly what I wanted. I wanted a flaky crust with a cheese filling.
So here goes the recipe :-
For the shell
100gm chilled butter
1 egg yolk
Pinch of salt
For the filling :-
125gm Camembert cheese
1 to 1.5 tbsp flour
250ml to 300ml whole milk
Pinch of nutmeg powder
Salt as per taste
Half a finely chopped leek
Start by cutting the butter in little cubes and using your hands to quickly mix it with the flour. When it feels gritty add the yolk and salt and quickly form a dough and refrigerate for 2 hours. When rolling it out do it over a clean floured work surface and gently place it on the buttered tart pan. Do not worry if it breaks a little just press the broken bits to the tart pan to form a smooth shell, it will come out as a single shell once you bake it.
Preheat oven to 200C and bake the tart shell for 25 minutes to 35 minutes.
Saute the leek in butter and when softened keep it aside. In the meanwhile make your bechamel base by melting the butter and adding the flour and creating a roux by stirring continuously and taking care not to burn it and slowly add the milk bit by bit and the nutmeg and salt while whisking and let it come to a slow boil and simmer for 2 minutes to create a smooth sauce whisking throughout the process.
Once the tart shell is baked let it cool down for 15 minutes and add the bechamel sauce and top with the sauteed leek and sliced cheese and add on top and bake for 15 minutes to 20 minutes.
Note : This is an extremely heavy dish mostly suitable for cold weather

This essay offers a new reading of Emerson’s late redactorial and critical work that evinces a correspondence between bodily and literary decomposition. I argue that the critical value of Parnassus (1874) lies precisely in its demonstration of Emerson’s principles of composition, in particular a late compositional style that I define as Emerson’s “decomposition.” The very difficulty in “authorizing” such a text makes us attend to the role of citation and quotation in Emerson’s work, in larger proprietary questions of nineteenth-century authorship, in the twentieth-century discourse of the “death and rebirth” of the author, and in a current age when digital dissemination threatens copyright value and challenges writers to reconfigure conceptions of creative composition in formally innovative works. A revised formal appraisal of Parnassus, in its classificatory, literary, and biological contexts, is not only instrumental for Emerson scholars, but can also help bridge the ample body of theoretical work on the question of the author with the undertheorized critical study of the anthology as a genre.
Emerson’s Decomposition: Parnassus
Nikhil Bilwakesh, Assistant Professor of English at the University of Alabama, has published essays in American Periodicals: A Journal of History and Criticism (2011), ESQ: A Journal of the American Renaissance (2009), and Nineteenth-Century Prose (2009). He recently completed an essay on contemporary Cuban translations of Walt Whitman, and is currently working on an essay on Thoreau’s errancy in Staten Island.
