The changing relationship between retailers and consumers is a hot topic today. Consumer expectations for high-quality experiences continue to rise while retailers continue to fight for customer mindshare in a noisy, digital market. The solution many retailers have embraced to solve this disconnect is personalization through Generative AI in Retail. Yet the returns on personalization investments have been disappointing. Coresight research finds that 71% of brands and retailers think they excel in personalized marketing, yet only 34% of consumers say they experience excellent personalization from the brands they interact with.
“That’s kind of a pretty phenomenal delta,” says Deborah Weinswig, CEO of Coresight Research, in a recent conversation with Persado COO Assaf Baciu on her podcast, Retaili$tic.
Read on for Persado COO Assaf Baciu’s answers to some of Deborah’s questions (edited for clarity and brevity) on how retailers can leverage Generative AI in retail to close the gap between the experiences they offer and customer expectations.
How can Generative AI in Retail or Motivation AI — a kind of Generative AI for language — help retailers meet customer expectations?
We’re part of a big wave in technology called Generative AI that in the next two or three years will transform the enterprise in various places, from how you educate and onboard employees to how you write letters to communicate internally or with consumers.
The world has caught up with us, because Persado started about nine years ago. Persado Motivation AI uses Generative AI for language — or natural language generation — to help companies talk to their customers as if they know them personally. This means we’re able to generate language for every customer communication, for example, for acquisition, for apps, for cross-selling, customer relationship management, loyalty, customer service, and communications. We do this across channels, such as email, web, mobile, and social to drive or motivate customers to act. This is extremely important always, and even more so in the current economic climate.
How does Persado Motivation AI help retailers personalize the customer experience using Generative AI in Retail?
Imagine me, as a human, talking to somebody. If I know them, I know how to use language and emotions and storytelling to interact with them. As humans we do that all the time, one-to-one.
Persado allows companies to do that via Generative AI in a personal way and create a retail customer experience that is better, more accurate, and with more tailored communications.
The difference is reflected in behavior. Do they interact with what you’re telling them or not? Do they buy based on that or not? Do they become loyal or not?
We see that a lot of brands are somewhere on a path to personalization, but the results are not there yet. There are potentially two or three key reasons for that. One is that they are focused on building their data infrastructure and decisioning, but it’s not yet connected to the experience — as we know, consumers don’t experience data, they experience content. So if whatever you invested in does not translate to an experience the customer sees, it is meaningless and therefore does not have an impact; it misses the expectation of the consumer.
The other massive area is language. So assuming I personalize to some extent offers to a group of customers. And let’s say my Motivation AI decisioning engine surfaces 20,000 customers to send a proposition for a given product. These 20,000 people will get the exact same experience, language-wise.
If you use AI to personalize the language instead, you’ll not only give them a better experience, but you’ll get 41% more conversions on average. So despite all the efforts in personalization that relates to data and matching products to people, matching people to language is not often implemented, and that is a gap.
How do you get there? What’s the first-party data you need in order to figure out who needs to see what message?
When you use Generative AI in retail, it will generate language and variations. In our case, we have a language model built specifically for enterprise communication, and it has certain elements of language tagged in it. Those language elements are matched to the brand’s first-party data. For example, what did customers look at? What do people buy? If it’s demographic data (what age are they, what marital status), the AI is able to match the attributes the brand has with the language attributes tagged in our AI model and determine the best language for a given customer. And then it appears in the experience. So a brand talks to the customer as if it knew what he would like to hear about. That’s why we call it Motivation AI: it speaks the language of that person’s motivations
The difference in business conversions between using Motivation AI and essentially writing message A (or potentially a message A and B and comparing the two), the difference between them is 41% — that’s the difference we’ve measured on average with our customers with statistical significance over the last eight years.
It’s a sizable impact. I’ll give you an example. A midsize retailer today that has a growing online business with about 20% penetration online or digital would get between $20 million and $80 million in incremental revenue from motivating customers with language. In comparison, what most people do today is write something: they create A and B and that goes to market, and that’s it. The next time they write, they start from zero. There is no aggregated knowledge that is accumulated to guide the next generation. But knowledge of what worked to motivate is where Persado excels.
How should marketers adapt their strategy to address the likely challenges of 2023?
I think that companies should have a very good view of the channels that today drive acceptable returns in terms of customer behavior. So do customers interact on that channel or not? Do they buy from that channel or not? If so, go all-in on these channels. There is always a pecking order. You may have email and web and mobile and social and other areas. Not all drive the same value. I would focus on the top three, top two, or maybe top four.
I would definitely look to investments that bring immediate return and in a greenfield area. What we see that we think is a mistake today is that people replatform. They go from X to Y, from Salesforce to Adobe, from Adobe to Salesforce. And this replatforming at most provides incremental impact.
There are other underutilized ways to deliver value. Look at the hundreds or thousands of communications going to millions of people. When I ask a retailer, “Who wrote the message?” and they say, “It’s Johnny or Jenny,” I say, there you have zero technology. And yet there is proof that if you change the language, it’ll have an impact, and an immediate one. There are potentially other areas with more than incremental potential in the future. It’s now, and it’s in a greenfield area. This is what I would look for.
Can Motivation AI help on non-digital channels?
When companies use us on their digital channels, it’s measured. Ours is a machine learning engine and it learns how to talk to customers more broadly. Because we have this Generative AI language model that knows how to identify emotions that work as well as narratives and stories, we aggregate those to insights. And those insights are summarized in a brief that is given to the CMO on the brand side and to the agencies to guide them on production of communications that are above the line.
If I were the CMO and I was about to potentially invest in some Super Bowl campaign, I would look at this data to highlight the right emotions and other language factors to use for the target audience and identify how to convey that to them. Then, creatives can take that and materialize that to an ad. So that’s how we do it: for the areas we don’t touch directly with Generative AI in retail, we can influence via analytics.

Carbon TEM grids fabricated using C-MEMS as the platform for suspended carbon nanowire characterization
- Additional Document Info
- View All
© 2016 Elsevier LtdCarbon transmission electron microscope (TEM) grids were fabricated for the first time using Carbon-MEMS (C-MEMS) process. The C-MEMS process and its application in the fabrication of carbon TEM grids are detailed. The benefits of making carbon TEM grids this way are also explained. Commercially available TEM grids are often hard to use for many types of samples. Moreover sample preparation such as nanowire placement on conventional TEM grids remains very challenging. Here we demonstrate a novel fabrication method of carbon TEM grids. These grids serve as a support for the nanowire deposition process itself; no further nanowire placement is required. The method for constructing in-situ carbon TEM grids is illustrated for the study of suspended carbon nanowires. The method is generic as long as the nano-devices that are being built can survive the pyrolysis step. In this paper, a test-bed for CNW TEM study is fabricated using one step photolithography to pattern SU8 TEM grids and then fibers are electrospun over the grid. Both, grids and fibers are then converted to carbon at the same time by pyrolysis in an inert (N2) environment. The grids are made on a Si/SiO2 substrate and are released from the substrate using Buffered Oxide Etch.

I rested alone in my room, watching the snow fall outside my window. My mom came in, her perfect blonde hair lying carefully on her shoulders. She wore her leather ジャケット like she usually did on her work days. Like she did nearly every day. “I’m going now. Are あなた sure あなた don’t want to come meet them?”
“Positive. I’m not a hero. Don’t belong there.”
She nodded and shut my door. I watched her in the snow, trudging up to a blonde man, together they went to where I knew their ‘Team’ would be waiting.
Once they were gone, I relaxed even further into my bed. It bugged me how persistent Mom was on me meeting those other teens. She only wanted me to have what was best. または did she want me controlling my powers? In retrospect this idea was kind of ironic, because of her own powers. She was really loud.
I created complete silence.
I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to meet them. I knew one of them already. But it was too late to go with my mom, who was long gone. I looked up and smiled. I guess I could say hi real quick to some old friends...
I leapt up and raced over to my closet, and opened the glass sliding door. There was a couple of hanging dresses and hats, but this wasn’t what I was looking for. I 鳩 into the back of my closet, into an area my mom called the ‘forbidden zone,’ and I pulled out a pair of black jeans and a matching tank top. Then I wrapped a black bandana around my head, pulled my hair up, and slid on a pair of sunglasses. I jumped out the window with my makeshift grappling line, flying towards downtown Gotham.
I landed precisely on the building they were targeting, knowing that it was the last place in downtown Gotham they needed to complete their record. Tobias and Drew were two teens I wouldn’t let loose again. And yet, I loved them so much when they were at school, because these two twins were so sweet and yet seethingly evil inside.
I spotted them about 3 miles away, sprinting at full pace towards the diamond shop. I let them get close, dangerously close. They were actually inside when I went to stop them.
They whirled around, their perfect red and オレンジ hair flahing as they moved. “Oh. It’s you.” Drew giggled. “What are あなた gonna do, calm us down? Silence us?”
I shifted my weight to my left side, watching Tobias もっと見る than Drew. He was cute, and not a little boy cute. This kid was 15 years old, I was 14. I’m pretty sure this is my hormones speaking. He lifted his crowbar, however, and I smiled. What a stupid joke. “A crowbar? Really?”
He looked at the object in his hand, and he began running. I suddenly realized what he was doing. “Shit, man, what’s wrong with you? I’m a human too!” I screamed at him as I backflipped onto the counters. He rammed into the glass cases and set off alarms. Ah, fuck.
I grabbed his ベルト and whirled him around, slamming him onto the floor. He took a ナイフ and slashed at my arms, drawing blood through the tears of the dark fabric. I kicked his nose, which instantly started to bleed, and suddenly Drew leapt onto my back, attacking me in a deadly piggyback ride. I rolled onto the floor and kicked her too, but she really beat me up. I finally rolled back over her and managed to find her pressure point, instantly knocking her out. Her brother was already passed out, because I’d kicked him hard enough in the face to knock him out as well. I backed up and began racing towards the door, knowing that my mom’d be ホーム soon. On my way out, I poured water over where I’d bled so they wouldn’t trace it back to me.
I finally made it out the door and onto the roof as authorities arrived. They weren’t the authorities I’d expected though. I finally saw who was on the Team, the one mom trained. They were in and out in a couple of seconds, and finally Mom arrived.
Robin, I’d assumed it was him, came up to her. “Already taken out and tied up, Canary.”
Mom looked slightly confused for a second. Then she looked around and her eyes settled on me. I instinctively crouched down even further, but she’d already seen. She motioned for me to come down, and something in her eyes told me not only was she not happy, but I was about to meet the team.

Fremont, Ohio’s Jacob Wukie is part of a team that has qualified for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. Wukie returns to the Olympics after earning a silver medal in 2012 at London. (He is the son-in-law of Pastor Kevin and Pam Pinkerton at Grace Community Church, Fremont.) A portion of a story from usarchery.org appears below. Click here to read the complete article. Also below is a portion of a feature story about Jacob from worldarchery.sport. See Jacob Wukie’s return fuels USA’s push for full team quota.
USA Archery Qualifies Full Men’s Team For Tokyo 2020
PARIS, France – At the Final World Qualification Tournament today, USA’s Tokyo men’s slate earned their full berth of three quota spots for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Led by 3x Olympic Medalist, 5x World Cup Final Champion, World Champion, World No. 1 and World Record Holder Brady Ellison, London 2012 Team Silver Medalist Jacob Wukie returns to the Games after a long international hiatus with Jack Williams, who was 9th in the world in the 2019 season in his debut Olympic performance.
The incredibly strong trio spent the last week together in France, training for the final qualification event that awards the full team quota placement for only three nations. They found their rhythm and came to play. Williams was solid and strong through qualification, while Ellison and Wukie steadily picked up steam to put the team in first headed into match play. With many powerhouse teams left to qualify, that top ranking was critical.
USA cruised through the 1/8th round against Slovenia and their quarterfinal with Spain, taking easy 6-2 victories. In the semifinals, they scored 57, 58 and 59 across three straight sets in the wind to seal the win and guarantee their spots for Tokyo. Their last three arrows each found the center of the X ring for a perfect finishing score.

Jacob Wukie’s return fuels USA’s push for full team quota
“To say that there is no pressure, I think it’s ignorant,” Brady Ellison said ahead of Saturday’s final qualifier for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
The USA is one of 38 countries competing for three recurve men’s team spots in Paris. Ellison’s individual place is secure – ever since he was officially nominated to full the ticket that he qualified by winning the worlds – but the reigning world number one will look to upgrade to a team quota so two additional USA archers can join him in Japan.
“You have to shoot great, you have to be in the top three and there are a lot of teams, a lot of matches to get through,” Ellison said. “Everybody on the field has the mindset that it’s the last chance. At this point, you get there or you don’t. Whoever handles that attitude better, does better.”
Ellison is accompanied by youngster Jack Williams and veteran Jacob Wukie in Paris.
Thirty-five-year-old Wukie is back in the mix after a spell away from the sport. But there’s a successful history – nine years ago, in 2012, Ellison and Wukie won a team silver together at the Olympics in London.
Williams, 21, earned a spot on the team during Wukie’s absence, injecting a shot of youthful energy along with their international experience.
“Wukie and I had success, but so have Jack and I,” Ellison said. “Experience-wise, I think we have a very experienced team mentally. We just all need to come together and shoot some 10s.”
The USA recurve men’s team has won back-to-back silver medals at the Olympics. Brady’s the only returning archer from those squads. And as talented as Ellison is, the USA will need strong contributions from all three members if it wants to secure a team quota this weekend.
Wukie’s ability to regain his level from nearly a decade ago could make the difference.
“It’s exciting! It’s been a long time,” he said. “I’m back and shooting at the World Cup. I’m enjoying being here. It’s good to see everybody.”
Wukie already astonished at the Team USA Olympic trials in Salt Lake City, out-performing more recent members of the international team to win his place at this event – and potentially at the Games – alongside Brady and Jack. He credited striking a proper balance between family and work for his surprise return.
“I didn’t necessarily have a plan to come back, but I was always keeping it in mind,” he said. “Once I was able to have a better schedule to work, train and also travel, it made more sense. That’s why I decided to come back.”
The prospect of returning to the Olympics after such a long break is exciting for Wukie – and his teammates. He isn’t a newcomer, but it has been a while. Still, he knows what it takes to succeed at the highest level.

London’s incredible Royal Albert Hall is a giant behemoth of a building situated in South Kensington, facing onto the beautiful and picturesque Hyde Park. It hosts all manner of events every year – concerts, musicals, memorial occasions, classical music, to name a few – and its cavernous auditorium is quite a sight to behold.
If you’re seeing a performance at the Royal Albert Hall, you are better off booking a hotel near the venue, preferably in South Kensington itself, such as the Park Grand London Kensington. That way, you can be sure of getting to the Hall in plenty of time – you will undoubtedly want to soak up the ambience before the show and perhaps even enjoy a drink in the bar afterwards. This will mean you’re not rushing around to get home.
Tickets for performances are best booked online, over the phone or in person at the Box Office which is open from 9am until 9pm daily and can be found at Door 12. Of these options, the final is the best as a booking fee is not charged.
Another reason a hotel near the Royal Albert Hall is the best option is because South Kensington hotel is subject to heavy parking restrictions. While some spaces are available at the nearby Imperial College, these need to be booked in advance for your performance.
In all likelihood, you will be using London’s extraordinarily reliable and extensive public transport network to reach the venue on the day of the performance. The Hall is within walking distance of South Kensington Tube Station, which can be accessed via the District and Circle, District and Piccadilly lines. High Street Kensington and Knightsbridge are also nearby, and buses can be used to get to the Hall from the majority of major train stations.

The father of Sen. Kamala Harris has gone public with a shocking family secret that could end her 2020 presidential run.
Harris’ father, Stanford University economics professor emeritus Donald Harris, published an op-ed in Jamaica Global Online detailing how the Harris family used to own slaves.
Here’s part of what Donald Harris wrote in the piece:
My roots go back, within my lifetime, to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrishy (née Christiana Brown, descendant of Hamilton Brown who is on record as plantation and slave owner and founder of Brown’s Town) and to my maternal grandmother Miss Iris (née Iris Finegan, farmer and educator, from Aenon Town and Inverness, ancestry unknown to me).
The Harris name comes from my paternal grandfather Joseph Alexander Harris, land-owner and agricultural ‘produce’ exporter (mostly pimento or all-spice), who died in 1939 one year after I was born and is buried in the church yard of the magnificent Anglican Church which Hamilton Brown built in Brown’s Town (and where, as a child, I learned the catechism, was baptized and confirmed, and served as an acolyte).
Looking back now I can say, with certainty and all due credit to Miss Iris, that it was this early intimate exposure to operation of the sugar industry at the local level of small-scale production with family labour and free wage-labour, coupled with my growing curiosity about how these things came to be, that led me, once I started reading about the history of Jamaica, to a closer study of the sugar industry.
I came then to understand its origin as a system of global production and commerce, based on slave labour, with Jamaica as a key component of that system from its very start.
That’s certainly a chilling admission and would not sit well with many American voters if true.
Soon after Donald Harris published the bombshell piece, PJ Media published a well-research, in-depth report providing more information on the slavery Harris’ family allegedly oversaw.
Hamilton Brown was born in 1776 in Ireland. He became a sugar plantation owner and founder of Brown’s Town in Jamaica, according to university papers, textbooks, and historical documents. Henry Whiteley wrote a pamphlet entitled “Three months in Jamaica in 1832, Comprising a Residence on a Sugar Plantation,” where he describes Brown’s views on his slaves:
The same day I dined at St. Ann’s Bay, on board the vessel I arrived in, in the company with several colonists, among whom was Mr. Hamilton Brown, representative for the parish of St. Ann in the Colonial Assembly… I was rather startled to hear that gentleman swear by his Maker that that Order should never be adopted in Jamaica; nor would the planters of Jamaica, he said, permit the interference of the Home Government with their slaves in any shape. A great deal was said by him and others present about the happiness and comfort enjoyed by the slaves, and the many advantages possessed by them of which the poor in England were destitute. Among other circumstances mentioned in proof of this, Mr. Robinson, a wharfinger, stated that a slave in that town had sent out printed cards to invite a part of his negro acquaintance to a supper party. One of these cards was handed to Mr. Hamilton Brown, who said he would present it to the Governor, as a proof of the comfortable condition of the slave population.
But later that day, after he witnessed slaves being punished by Brown’s overseer, Whiteley wrote:
The first was a man of about thirty-five years of age. He was what is called a pen-keeper or cattle herd; and his offence was having suffered a mule to go astray. At the command of the overseer he proceeded to strip off part of his clothes, and laid himself flat on his belly, his back and buttocks being uncovered. One of the drivers then commenced flogging him with the cart whip. This whip is about ten feet long, with a short stout handle, and is an instrument of terrible power. It is whirled by the operator round his head, and then brought down with a rapid motion of the arm upon the recumbent victim, causing the blood to spring at every stroke. When I saw this spectacle now for the first time exhibited before my own eyes, with all its revolting accompaniments, and saw the degraded and mangled victim writhing and groaning under the infliction, I felt horror-struck. I trembled and turned sick; but being determined to see the whole to an end, I kept my station at the window. The sufferer, writhing like a wounded worm, every time the lash cut across his body, cried out, “Lord! Lord! Lord!” When he had received about twenty lashes, the driver stopped to pull up the poor man’s shirt (or rather smock frock), which had worked down upon his galled posteriors. The sufferer then cried, “Think me no man? Think me no man?” By that exclamation I understood him to say, “Think you I have not the feelings of a man?” The flogging was instantly recommenced and continued; the negro continuing to cry “Lord! Lord! Lord!” till thirty-nine lashes had been inflicted. When the man rose up from the ground, I perceived the blood oozing out from the lacerated and [illegible] parts where he had been flogged; and he appeared greatly exhausted. But he was instantly ordered off to his usual occupation.
Whiteley’s account goes on, describing one victim after the next, including women and young boys. It is truly sickening to read. Brown didn’t stop after the Jamaican slaves were freed. He attempted to make the Irish work on his plantation but failed when he was accused of trying to enslave more people. The historical accounts are so detailed that should Kamala Harris want to search out the families of the people her relative reportedly tortured, she would probably be able to find them.
If the reports are true that Harris’s family previously owned slaves, that could sink her 2020 presidential aspirations or greatly harm her campaign.
President Trump Just Made Trey Gowdy The Most Powerful Man In Capitol Hill
For five years, Trey Gowdy asked the Oval Office for the tools necessary to do his job properly, and for five years he was told “no” by the Obama administration.
One of the most difficult parts of Trey Gowdy’s job as congressional inquisitor is security clearance. When investigating people who held titles like “Secretary of State” and “Special Aide to the President” or even “President,” Gowdy runs into the issue of security clearance all the time.
It’s a matter of national security” has become a term Mr. Gowdy hears far too often. It is the single-best excuse Hillary Clinton and her lawyers have been able to come up with when they don’t have an actual answer to his questions.
President Trump has just removed that blockade. By executive order, Trey Gowdy has been given the highest security clearance possible. He could now sit in on presidential intel briefings if he felt he needed to.
California Democrat Arrested for Death Threats Against Trump’s FCC Chief and Family
A California Democrat was arrested Friday in Los Angeles for his threats to kill Trump administration FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, for his role in the Federal Communications Commission’s repealing of net neutrality regulations. The suspect threatened to kill Chairman Pai’s family, as well.
According to the prosecutor, 33-year-old Markara Man of Norwalk, California allegedly emailed messages to Chairman Pai’s three email accounts.
The first of three email messages accused Pai of being responsible for the alleged suicide by a child who was upset with the repeal of net neutrality regulations.
The second email contained the addresses of three locations in or around Arlington, Virginia, outside of Washington, D.C., and stated that he would kill the Chairman’s family members.
The third email had no text in it, but it did include an image depicting Chairman Pai and, in the foreground and slightly out of focus, a framed photograph of the FCC chairman and his family.
FBI agents were assigned to the case and traced the emails to Markara Man’s known residence in Norwalk, California. When the FBI agents initially confronted the suspect in May 2018, the suspect admitted to the agents that he indeed sent out email threatening Chairman Pai’s family. He attributed the motive for email threats to his anger over the repeal of the net neutrality regulations. He stated that he wished to “scare” Chairman Pai.
“Man was charged with threatening to murder a member of the immediate family of a U.S. official with the intent to intimidate or interfere with such official while engaged in the performance of official duties, or with the intent to retaliate against such official on account of the performance of official duties,” said G. Zachary Terwilliger, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, a recent Trump appointee.
If convicted, Man faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
According to Nancy McNamara, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, “The FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office, the Federal Protective Service, and the Arlington County Police Department provided significant assistance in this investigation.”
“The concept of Net Neutrality lies at the heart of the Federal Communication Commission’s ongoing efforts to regulate Internet access. To its opponents, Net Neutrality is an Orwellian euphemism for regulatory overreach, couched in appealing language about the freedom of the Internet,” said technology expert John Hayward in Human Events.
Deep State Espionage: Obama Intelligence Chiefs Hacked Computer Of FISA Court Judge
With so much of the news coverage in America focusing on the Democratic Party’s plans to impeach President Donald Trump, as well their goal of raising taxes on the productive members of society in order to pay-off unproductive members who rely on socialist programs to barely survive, it’s no wonder most citizens don’t know what’s happening within the Deep State.
Case in point: There is now evidence being circulated by lawmakers in both Houses of Congress that strengthens allegations that former President Barack Obama’s two top intelligence officials, John Brennan and James Clapper, spearheaded the hacking of a computer used by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court’s Judge Reggie Walton, and went as far as hacking U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.
As more and more documents are released or leaked that are exposing the alleged Justice Roberts computer hacking by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) has rocked the corridors of power, but appears to be of little interest to the nation’s news people .
The fact that no court has held hearings regarding the obviously fraudulent FISA warrant applications to spy on lower-level Trump campaign worker Carter Page — and by extension other members of President Trump’s team — continues to be ignored by most news organizations who’ve decided changing American is more important than informing Americans.
And there’s more: James Comey’s henchmen at the FBI are proven to have covered it up. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has shown itself to be a hotbed of political treachery and narcissistic behavior.
One of the audio tapes made public by Federal Judge G. Murray Snow revealed that Brennan and Clapper particularly targeted and wiretapped Donald Trump a “zillion times.” Montgomery also contends that the government can plant files such as child pornography or state secrets on a target’s computer, setting up the owner of that device for blackmail or a bogus prosecution.
That hacking system, known as THE HAMMER, according to the audio tapes, accessed the phone calls, emails and bank accounts of millions of ordinary Americans. The tapes also reveal that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance court (FISA), Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, 156 other judges, members of Congress, and Donald J. Trump were targeted by the Hammer.
The tapes released by Federal Judge G. Murray Snow show real estate billionaire Timothy Blixseth explaining Brennan and Clapper’s surveillance program to Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and detective Mike Zullo. The existence of this surveillance program has been corroborated by Wikileaks’ “Vault 7” release and by the public comments of former CIA and NSA contractor Dennis Montgomery, who says he worked on the program for Brennan and Clapper.
Montgomery has gone public with his claims exposing how the program was used to spy on President Donald Trump when he was a private citizen. Montgomery has gained immunity and desperately wants House Intelligence Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes or other lawmakers to call him to testify about what he knows.
On the explosive tapes, Blixseth walks Arpaio and Zullo through the details of the program on a computer screen. At one point, the three begin pulling up specific names of targeted individuals.
“You know who that guy is? That’s the head of the FISA court they hacked into, Reggie Walton,” Blixseth tells the investigators.
“John Roberts, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, was hacked,” Blixseth tells Arpaio and Zullo.
Insiders have always been skeptical of Roberts’ motives for siding with President Obama on the 2012 Obamacare case. While there’s still no available evidence that Roberts was blackmailed, the allegation that he was “hacked” by Obama officials provides some more context into the justice’s controversial career.
It’s believed that former FBI Director James Comey seized, destroyed or buried information that demonstrated this wide-ranging government surveillance operation targeting Donald Trump before he became president.
The founder of Judicial Watch and later Freedom Watch USA, Larry Klayman, attorney for former NSA and CIA contractor and whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, delivered to the FBI 47 hard drives and data amounting to more than 600 million pages of documentation on the surveillance scheme. Then-FBI director James Comey’s general counsel James Baker took the data into his possession, according to multiple sources. But despite possessing Montgomery’s bombshell whistleblower revelations, Comey never acted on or publicized the information.
Democrats Spend Father’s Day Attacking 13-Year-Old Barron Trump
As Americans celebrate the holiday of Father’s Day there are some that are using the occasion to rag on 13-year-old Barron Trump.
The reason they have given for their attacks is the fact that President Donald trump had a busy Father’s Day which started with him tweeting about things that were on his mind.
“Happy Father’s Day to all, including my worst and most vicious critics, of which there are fewer and fewer. This is a FANTASTIC time to be an American! KEEP AMERICA GREAT!” he said in one tweet, The Hill reported.

Then the president spent some time golfing with Sen. Lindsey Graham because, as the leader of the free world, he has some business to do.
“According to the White House pool, it appears the president is going to be spending Father’s Day golfing with Lindsey Graham,” Roll Call reporter Niels Lesniewski said.

The fact that his dad is busy on Father’s Day could have bugged Barron, and Democrats used that to needle him more.
Should children be off limits?

Why is it that the same people that were rightfully angry when the Obama kids were mentioned in negative ways have no problem using Barron Trump as one of their props? Stop being a hypocrite it’s an awful look.

Has Melania told him that they have a son? Perhaps Barron might enjoy the afternoon of golfing.
— Nancy Zimmerman (@N_Sipps) June 16, 2019
It is not the first time Barron has been attacked or harmed by Democrats. He was frightened when he caught a glimpse of Kathy Griffin holding his dad’s mock severed head.
And there was the time Democrats were thrilled at the idea of Barron becoming gay and marrying a Mexican immigrant.
Nothing is off limits for these people.

Polygamy and The Mormon Conspiracy
Mormon Polygamy is deep rooted within the history of the LDS church.
This information is from website Mormon Conspiracy where you can get the popular Mormon book "The Mormon Conspiracy" at amazon.com.
John D. Lee describes Joseph Smith’s leadership in the development of the principle of Mormon polygamy as follows: “During the winters Joseph the Prophet set a man by the name of Sidney Hay Jacobs to select from the Bible such scriptures as pertained to Mormon polygamy and celestial marriage to write it in pamphlet form. This he did as a feeler among the people to pave the way for celestial marriage...it met with opposition, although a few favored it.
John Lee went on to write: “The Prophet Joseph anxiously desired polygamy, but he dared not to proclaim it, so it was taught confidentially to such as were strong enough in the faith to take the forward step. About the same time the doctrine of sealing for an eternal state was introduced.” John D Lee wrote that by 1847, he was sealed to his eleventh wife in Council Bluffs, Iowa, [and] in 1856 to his sixteenth wife. Brigham gave him his eighteenth wife in 1859, after which he was the father of sixty children, ten of which died, with fifty six still alive as he was writing this book.” 1. As related earlier Lee was executed on March 23rd, 1877 for his role in the Mountain Meadows Massacre.
Scott Wrote: “In addition, Joseph Fielding Smith, a former president of the Mormon Church, in his book, Blood Atonement and the Origin of Plural Marriage quoted an affidavit which verified that not only did Joseph have plural wives, but that he ‘cohabited with them as wives’. Worst of all was that Joseph Smith married women who were married to other men, besides committing adultery himself, he used his power and influence as a supposed prophet to coerce married women to join him in sin.” 2.
Scott, a Mormon apostate added: “Some Mormon Apologists shrug off polygamy by claiming, as I did, that less than 3 percent of the Mormon men ever practiced polygamy. But others, like T. Edgar Lyon have admitted that the real figure might have as high as 10 per cent. 3. Non Mormons have estimated an accurate figure to be as much as 20 percent. A standard explanation of the necessity for polygamy is that there were many more women than men in the early church and that plural marriage was a good way to absorb the surplus women of the population. I grew up thinking that polygamous men married old or homely women just to give them a home and (if they weren’t past childbearing age) a family. But John A. Witsoe, a Mormon writer affirmed that “there seems always to have been more males than females in the church.” 4.
Quinn confirms Witsoe’s statement. He reported that in 1871 every national census listed more males than females in Mormon populations and that the 20-40 percent of Mormons that had several wives demographically required bachelorhood in Utah’s majority population of males. 5. This would also support the contention by one of Brigham Young’s sons, Seymour B. Young, who observed that there was a prostitution house on every corner in Salt Lake City in 1871. 6.

DUBAI // Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, met at Zabeel Palace on Saturday on the occasion of Ramadan.
The Rulers exchanged greetings on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan, in the presence of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai, and other UAE leaders.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid and Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed also received tribal dignitaries who called on them to offer greetings on the advent of the holy month of Ramadan. They prayed to grant welfare and happiness under the blessed leadership of President Sheikh Khalifa.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid said the leadership’s meeting with citizens on religious and national occasions embodies the theme of national solidarity and “reflects our Arab and Islamic traditions and customs cherished by generations”.
“Our diverse community represents social and cultural fabric and a model of co-existence, harmony and collaboration,” Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid said. “This is obviously seen by this communication and regular exchanges of visits among various segments of the society, especially in the month of Ramadan, the month of tolerance, compassion and forgiveness.”
“The leadership of the UAE is engaged in building human resources and making them happy.”
The Vice President also noted Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed’s frequent meetings with various segments of the society, including students, academics, doctors, military and sportsmen. These meetings, he said, reflect the spirit of cohesion and authentic values inherited by Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed from his father and Founding Father of the UAE, Sheikh Zayed.

Did you know that spirulina is bacteria?
Most people think spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) is a type of alga, but it’s actually a type of bacteria called cyanobacterium.
What makes spirulina so special? A blue pigment that allows the bacteria to produce their own food through photosynthesis, like a plant.
Spirulina is a nutritional powerhouse that is more than 50 percent protein and packed full of life-giving chlorophyll. It’s a dense source of vitamins, minerals, amino and omega-3 fatty acids, enzymes and trace minerals. You can use it for yourself and your pets to treat a myriad of issues like inflammation, cancer, nutritional deficiencies, immune support, bacterial and yeast overgrowth and radiation exposure.
That’s the good news …
… but the bad news is there are many cheap spirulina products out there that can harm your dog.
I’ll show you how to feel confident that the spirulina you’re feeding your dog is good quality. But first, let’s consider how spirulina is grown.
Where Spirulina Comes From Matters
Commercially, spirulina is cultivated in China, Australia, Thailand, Taiwan, some African countries, India, Mexico and the United States.
Spirulina is grown in ponds and other warm bodies of water where it’s collected, dried and made into powders and tablets. Some companies grow their spirulina under strictly controlled conditions while others cut corners to save on costs.
Spirulina needs sunshine and has to be grown outdoors. A pollution-free environment and clean water are essential for high quality production.
But companies that grow their spirulina in lakes, ocean water and natural waterways can’t control the amount of pollutants in their product.
Some of these same companies can also sell other species of blue-green algae as spirulina.
This practice is very dangerous.
This type of so-called spirulina is usually from low cost, third party suppliers in countries where production is unregulated.
Low Quality Or Imitation Products
When spirulina is grown in contaminated water or when you purchase other species of blue-green algae thinking it’s spirulina, terrible health problems can result from contaminants like microcystins, neurotoxins, hemotoxins, and heavy metals.
Microcystins are one of the most common contaminants of spirulina along with heavy metals.
They are a group of amino acids that attack the liver. They can also cause skin, eye and throat irritation.
To avoid these little pollutants, legitimate companies grow their spirulina in a high pH (between 10 and 11) environment.
Neurotoxins And Hemotoxins
Found in different types of blue-green algae, neurotoxins and hemotoxins are nerve and blood toxins that damage tissues and organs.
Neurotoxins damage tissues within the central nervous system; they’re produced by certain bacteria.
BMAA (beta-N-methylamino-L-alanine), a neurotoxin found in blue-green algae, is a non-protein amino acid that creates faulty proteins within cells and destroys them like a cancer. There are some hypotheses that it may be a potential cause of diseases such as ALS and Parkinson’s.
Hemotoxins injure the membranes of red blood cells and can severely damage internal organs and other body tissues.
This is why it’s so important to make sure that the product you’re buying as spirulina is the real deal.
Heavy metals can be found at concentrated levels in spirulina if the water it’s grown in has been contaminated.
In 2013, a study published in the Saudi Journal of Biological Sciences noted that lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic were found in over 25 of the spirulina products they sampled.
How To Make Sure Spirulina is Pure and Contaminant Free
When choosing spirulina for your dog or yourself, make sure you do your due diligence. Don’t assume that just because the product is sold on sites like Amazon or Vitacost that it’s from a reliable source.
If you ask, most companies are going to tell you that their product is the best.
Don’t believe them … ask for proof and do your research.
Here’s what you can do to make sure you’re using a high quality spirulina:
- Research the company – Make sure the company has a phone number and email address so you can request information from them.
- Be suspicious of third party spirulina – You’ll see these products being offered by brands that you already know. Does the brand produce its own spirulina? I doubt it. These companies purchase their spirulina through a broker or directly from the producer. For example, Japan imports spirulina for use in various products that are then exported.
- Look for spirulina that’s been tested by a reputable, qualified, independent third party – The NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) seal is a good example of third party certification. You can also look for the USP (US Pharmacopeial Convention) seal. USP Verified dietary supplements are products that have been voluntarily submitted to the USP Dietary Supplement Verification Program and have successfully met the program’s stringent testing and auditing criteria.
- Ask the company for their Certificate of Analysis (COA) – A COA gives you information on product quality and origin. Every spirulina company should have a COA that tells you how pure their products are and where they are sourced from. Along with the COA, ask the company about the pH level of their growing ponds. The answer must be ten or above.
- Check your ingredients – If you’re purchasing your spirulina online, like many of us do, make sure the label is available for viewing. You should look for spirulina that’s free of additives, preservatives, fillers, and added colors.
- Check your dog’s supplements and treats – Many nutritional supplements and treats contain spirulina. Always ask the manufacturer where they source their ingredients.
- Don’t price shop – High quality spirulina is expensive to produce. If the price is too good to be true, don’t buy it.
- Inspect your purchase – Spirulina should smell like fresh seaweed, be solid, matte, and dark green in color and have the consistency of finely milled flour. If your spirulina contains moisture, has a shiny appearance, or smells rancid, don’t use it.
- Just say no to pollution – Spirulina must have direct access to the sun and be grown outside. Checking the pollution levels in the producer’s area is a good thing to do if you’re a Sherlock like me. For example, if the company you’re researching grows its spirulina in the smog laden city of New Delhi, India, it would be best to avoid their product.
Where To Buy Spirulina
To make your life easier, I’ve compiled a list of reputable producers who test each batch of spirulina:
Do I use spirulina for my animals? You bet.
Am I careful where I source my spirulina? Absolutely.
As caregivers, we have to be especially mindful because dogs are like small children. They have a much lower body weight than we do, which puts them at greater risk for contamination related illnesses. This goes for any supplement that we feed our pets. The key to using supplements safely is to find the purest supplement you can buy, taking extra care as to dosage amounts.
Try to give your dog an occasional break from supplements.
Anything can cause damage if given everyday long-term – even whole foods. When I stop my supplements for a specific period of time, I call it a therapeutic break. I strongly believe that the on-again, off-again cycle helps the body stimulate and heal itself. Therapeutic breaks are a great way to minimize risk and to observe how the body responds.
It’s a good idea to start out using spirulina as your dog’s only supplement to see how she reacts to it.
The dosage I like to start out with is one-eighth teaspoon for every ten pounds of body weight.
Spirulina is very concentrated and a little goes a long way. For acute issues that respond to a super nutrient like spirulina, higher doses can be used, but only for a short period of time.
I highly recommend spirulina for short-term healing and as a nutritional supplement. However, it’s very important to know how to use it safely and to purchase the highest quality spirulina available.
As with all supplements, herbs and food, knowledge is power.

On October 1, 2021 Walt Disney World will celebrate its 50th anniversary. Up until recently it had been unclear just how big a celebration the resort would be able to have. But with the recent announcement that fireworks are on their way back to Magic Kingdom and Epcot, it started to look like things really could be “normal” by October, and now Walt Disney World has officially confirmed some new 50th anniversary celebrations in the form of two new fireworks shows and a daytime spectacular as well. That’s three new shows in three of the parks, for some reason Disney’s Hollywood Studios seems to be getting left out of the fun, at least for now.

Icestar and firestar need to find all treasure diamonds to find the way home! Let us help them!
I liked it.
Pretty awesome I lke it
Very nice game. It's drawn pretty well too.
I played as both characters. foreveralone.jpg
cute and simple to pick up, I still find it odd that Icestar can't go in water though.
maybe she freezes it and gets stuck? lol :3
It's a great concept for a game, I've tried very similar games to this & they work really well. It's a great challenge trying to maneuver both characters at the same time.
One thing I would ask is please change the music... Even if it's random music you've created, but it would work better with something seamless that you don't even notice is on loop. The song with this game made me quit it early, I could have muted it but I enjoy some form of music whilst playing & the song pissed me off. Minus the music, totally smashing! :)

Living in the obscure, bizarre, superficial, and often shallow land we call Los Angeles (home sweet home), I can’t begin to tell you how many botched face-jobs (or is it face lifts?) I have seen. I often try not to stare but often times it is just so bad that you can’t NOT look. After my initial shock, then comes the realization that this poor person has to walk around with that face every single day of their life. I would bet that they didn’t go into the surgery hoping for their face to look like that, but the reality of it is, it now does and that face is what they are stuck with. Fortunately for us, and this post, giving a facelift to your home is much easier, less invasive, and for the most part can’t be botched. Although I have seen some pretty terrible paint jobs recently while walking the streets (keep reading for some good ones).
When thinking about home improvements it’s easy to focus on the interior spaces, after all we spend a lot of time living in it and looking at it, and it is often the easiest thing to change as it usually requires a quick run to the store or some online shopping to grab some new items. However, it’s a little harder to change the look of your home from the outside – no plush rugs or fancy throw pillows are going to make a difference here. It is also typically WAY more expensive, time consuming, and arduous. But that doesn’t mean that you can just forget about it and have your neighbors thinking you are a recluse that lives in a disgusting old house from the outside. That’s not a good way to make friends with the neighbors. I mean what happens when you need to borrow a cup of sugar? Do people do that in the real world or was that just in my sweet little Mormon Utah neighborhood where we would walk across the street to borrow things if we ran out.
So let’s start with a few of the easiest ways to freshen up the outside so it can be as beautiful as the inside. (que the analogy to you being beautiful from the inside out)
The easiest and most satisfying place to start is the garden, if you’re lucky enough to have one (which I definitely don’t – but one day hopefully will). If your house has terrible architecture, sad lines, and just doesn’t have a lot you can work with then plant some ivy or flowering vines. After all Frank Lloyd Wright did say, “A doctor can bury his mistakes, but an architect can only advise his clients to plant vines.” So in the spirit of bad architecture and easy band aids let’s all go get some flowering vines and call it a day.
If you don’t have a garden (or don’t have the patience for it) it doesn’t mean you can’t bring some life to your place. Pot some plants on the doorstep, add some window boxes, or line your walkway with some easy to care for shrubs like these guys did above.
Moving on down the list to a slightly more time consuming process but one that can drastically change the face of your home. Paint. It is cheap, fairly easy and can work wonders on giving life to a drab exterior. It’s like those makeover shows where they grab someone off the street have someone apply new makeup and do their hair differently and instantly they look younger, thinner, fresher, and like a different person. (I secretly have always wanted that to happen to me to see what the “experts” would do). But the same concept applies to your house, so grab some paint and start with your front door. In case you need some inspiration check out this insane redo by McGee and Co which was basically all done with paint.
The before ain’t bad, but that after is insane!
And in case you weren’t convinced of the power of paint, let’s walk through a few more examples:
Ok, that one may have been a little more than paint but still very impressive no?
Next up is windows/doors which are a LOT more expensive than just painting them but can again drastically change the look. People often spend a lot of time and money choosing the right curtains but what about the windows themselves? I am a huge fan of steel framed windows and doors, but high quality windows such as Anlin replacement windows, or something from the local home depot can also increase the security and energy-efficiency of your home. This job is best left to the professionals so check out some good ones here, to make sure you don’t get yourself in a big window mess a la Patrick Swayze in Ghost (RIP).
Last but not least would be resurfacing the outside of your house. I would leave this one up to the pro’s but it can drastically change the exterior of your home without actually having to start over. IE the ultimate facelift for your home and just as you would with a facelift, you should go to the professionals for this.

Cartagena De Indias (Distrito Turístico Y Cultural), Colombia
Cartagena in Columbia
Tuesday 22nd May 2012
Flight from Panama City to Cartagena took just over 1 hour, it left and arrived on time, through customs in no time at all.
Arrived at Hotel San Roque at 13:30. checked into our room which is not numbered but named - Spiritu Santo (Holy Spirit). It's up in the attic, just off a spiral staircase (no getting drunk here and staggering home) with an en suite bathroom and a new a/c unit. The hotel looks nothing from the outside but opens up round a courtyard where breakfast is served every morning. There is lots of dark wood and traditional ornaments and some local modern art that all give it character. The staff are very friendly and helpful, but speak very little English.
After leaving our bags we take a wander round the neighbourhood which appears to be very old and traditional which is not far from San Felipe Fort and parts of the old city walls. We walked to the The Clock Tower entrance of the old town which is probably only 10 minutes away. Tasted some local seafood cocktail and home made limonade.
Cartagena de Indias (Cartagena of the Indies), is a large Caribbean beach resort city on the northern coast of Colombia and capital of Bolívar Department. The city had a population of 892,545 as of the 2005 census, making it the fifth-largest city in Colombia .
Cartagena was founded on June 1, 1533 by Spanish commander Pedro de Heredia, in the former location of the indigenous Caribbean Calamarí village. The town was named after Cartagena, Spain, where most of Heredia's sailors had resided. For more than 275 years, Cartagena was under Spanish rule. On November 11, 1811, Cartagena declared its independence
We watched the sunset over the sea whilst sitting on the City walls, a popular thing to do looking at the loved up couples .
At night time the bars open and the street comes alive with music and locals. It's sometimes difficult to tell what is a cafe and what is someone's home as there are few of the indicators that we would use at home - no street dining etc. The temperatures are pretty much the same day and night, which is hot and sticky.
Wednesday 23rd May
Breakfast consists of cereals with yoghurt, bread, butter and jam, and a choice of tea or coffee is served between 7am and 10am.
As Castillo (castle) San Felipe is very close to us we decide that today we will it explore it. We choose to take an English audio tour so we can hear more of the history - this was a good plan as it gave so much information about the castle, without it we may even have missed out several bits of the castle.
The castle is striking for its grand entrance and its complex maze of tunnels. It's the most formidable defensive complex of Spanish military architecture.The fortress was begun in 1536. It was significantly expanded in 1657. It was built in a triangular shape on top of the hill. Sir Frances Drake once captured the Castle but was paid in gold to leave. It has over it's time been captured by the French and English but remains intact with canons on the battlements and paths leading to undergraound passageways. In 1984, UNESCO listed the castle, with the historic centre of the city of Cartagena, as a World Heritage Site. Since 1990.We throuroughly enjoyed our visit here which took about 2-3 hours. There are some good views of the City from here too.
In the afternoon we walked round the Old Town following the City Tour on the map provided by Tourist Information. There are some very beautiful, colourful Colonial buildings that are steeped in history and tradition. See the photos as I can't do them justice here.
After lots of walking we ate at a local restuarant, two courses (Soup & main course) and a drink for around £2.50. It was good hearty home cooked food and exceptional value.
Thursday 24th May
We booked a boat trip today to Isla Rosario and Playa Blanca, we left the port at 8.30am. These are some 27 islands off the coast of Cartagena. The boat sailing past the modern skyscraper buildings and then past the the outer limits of the old city defences. It took about an hour and half to get to the Isla Rosario, which was very disappointing becasue basically it was an Aquarium and cafe. We stayed here for an hour. Next stop was Playa Blanca (White Beach) which was another hour away. There was entertainment on the boat in the form of the crew singing and dancing to Salsa music and offered ice creams and drinks. Playa Blanca was beautiful with a white sandy beach, blue sea and went are far as the eyes would see. We had lunch, which consisted of fresh fried fish, rice, plantain and salad. We had two hours to wander before having to be back on the boat. We swam in the warm sea and we walked along the beach. You can stay overnight here in hammocks, tents and basic cabanas on the beach, but it is very hot with lots of sand flies.
Back on the boat for the return journey which took about an hour and half. Eventually arriving back at 5pm. We both agreed had we known what the trip entailed we perhpas would not have taken it, but on the plus side I got to swim in the carribean again.
Andy's meal on the third night was 'Cuban Meat' which included Beef Jerky, Plantain, Lentils and salad. Although the combination sounds strange (and looked strange) it was a very nice dinner, says Andy.
Friday 25th May
We used the time this morning to chill and plan for the next few weeks.
This afternoon we walked round the length of the City Walls, which gave a different perspective to the Old town and Castillo San Felipe. The weather seemed cooler today as it was cloudy so a nice relief.
Tonight we ventured into the Old town, we watched some traditional dancers perform. Some of the larger restaurants/bars put tables and chairs out to create a feel good atmosphere and it gets very busy.
Saturday 26th May
Flight from Cartagena to Bogata.

The 02KR121-K0AS3 is a device used in many applications and varies depending on the sector or industry. In its most basic form, the 02KR121-K0AS3 is used to regulate the flow of oil, water, or other fluids. The device is used for regulating partial pressures, controlling pressure and temperature fluctuations, and providing precise control over pressurised systems.
The 02KR121-K0AS3 typically includes a diaphragm, which is mounted to a metal casing. The metal casing contains a number of components, including a strain gauge, which is used to measure the pressure of the fluid being regulated by the device. In some instances, the strain gauge is attached directly to the diaphragm, allowing for direct measurement of the pressure being regulated.
To operate the 02KR121-K0AS3, the pressure of the fluid is measured against the strain gauge, which adjusts the diaphragm. The diaphragm then adjusts the pressure according to the strain gauge readings. This process is repeated continually, ensuring that the pressure of the regulated fluid stays constant. The 02KR121-K0AS3 is commonly applied in areas where precise pressure control is needed, such as controlling pressure in chemical reactions or in pneumatic systems.
In addition to its primary application, the 02KR121-K0AS3 can be used in other areas. For instance, it has been used in HVAC systems to adjust air pressure in various rooms and areas. The 02KR121-K0AS3 has also been used in medical applications, where it regulates pressure to ensure effectiveness and safety during certain medical procedures. The device is also used in agriculture, where it can be used to regulate the flow of water or fertilizer in irrigation systems.
The benefits of the 02KR121-K0AS3 are numerous, as it provides a precise and consistent control over pressure that can be valuable in a variety of settings. The device is typically easy to install and more cost-effective than other solutions, making it a popular choice for many applications.

The company Depuración de Aguas del Mediterráneo (DAM) participates in the “Fiberclean” project, which will develop new fabrics that prevent, through different washes, the plastic fibers of synthetic garments from ending up in the aquatic environment and can be revalued. Another objective of this project is the research and development of new technologies to eliminate or reduce microfibers during washing, so that these technologies are compatible with current machinery, as reported by DAM in a statement.
Moreover, new technologies for the elimination or recovery of these microplastics in treatment plants will be studied. It is estimated that the load of a synthetic garment wash can release around 1,900 fibers of less than one millimeter to the flow that reaches the wastewater treatment plants. These wastes constitute 85% of the materials of human origin that are found on the coasts and cause damage to the marine environment and the animals that live in it.
Microfibers are particles of all kinds of textiles that reach rivers and seas and from there pass into aquatic animals. Much of these microfibers come from synthetic garments that go through the purification process but are not filtered. “Fiberclean” aims to provide a global solution to this problem and reduce the emission of microfibers throughout the entire value chain of the manufacture and maintenance of fabrics and garments. DAM will be in charge of the research and development of new technologies compatible with conventional systems that allow the elimination or reduction of microfibers in purification and thus prevent their passage into the waters of rivers and seas.
In addition, it will also study the requirements and limitations of washing water purification and will investigate the characteristics and behavior of microfibers in purification processes. Furthermore, it will quantify the microfibers in the different stages of the treatment plants and will address new techniques for the retention and separation of microfibers in different processes and configurations of the treatment plants. Its activity also involves the development and validation of new techniques for the recovery and degradation of wastewater microfibers through biofiltration and the capture and recovery of waste from microfibers for reuse and recycling.
In addition to DAM, six other companies, three research organizations (LEITAT, AITEX and CETIM) and two universities (Universidad de León and Universidad de Córdoba) participate in this project. The company that coordinates this project is Textil Santanderina and the participating companies, along with DAM, are Angles Textil, Polysistec SL, Softeners and Bituminous Plastifiers, E.G.O. Appliance Controls, SLU and Magtel Operations SLU. The project is funded by the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness through the Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI) and will last until 2021.

- "An intolerance for uncertainty is an important contributing factor to all types of anxiety", this truly is. I'm the one who doesn't like uncertainly. This trait even influences my grade of probability theory class.
Skeleton of the Book
How we act when there's uncertainty and overload
Stress and overwhelmed
So the auther enumulates what is "stressed" and what is "overwhelmed" by his experience in restaurant work life.
The feeling of stress is correlated the belief that we can cope with the problem, rather than the physical burden. When we think subjectively there's uncertainty or too many work, then the stress come. Long time strees is not good for your physical health.
So the state of overwhelmed is igntied by extreme strees that both body and mind cannot burden, and will interfere your decision making. So the best way to deal this situation is drop anything you do and spare yourself.
So the stressed and overwhelmed is just an entrance of the heart altas managed by the author, at least this chapter reflects.
So what's the difference between anxiety and stressed?
An emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts and physical changes like increased blood pressure.
The book cites the "Willy wonka tunnel" to introduce the anxiety. (I didn't see this scene in the renewed film, but the old one in this link: Willy Wonka Shamanic Boat Ride. Acutally I don't feel too much anxiety watching this scene)
Anxiety can be a trait, a profile of a person, or can be a temporary state. Lead to worry thoughts and tendency of avoidance.
It seems that as the things we want to avoid approaches, the anxiey will act as three emotions:
Worry (General) → Dread (Near) → Fear (On going)
(This remind me of my experience of writing my graduation thesis)
So vulnerability is not weakness, vulnerability is a normal reaction when a man enages into something uncertainty, risk or emotional exposure. So don't self-criticize when feeling vulnerability.

The award-winning card game Dominion is back with another expansion called Dominion: Alchemy. A new resource type – potions – is added to the mix, and your battles against fellow land-grabbing monarchs has just become more complicated. With the power of Alchemy in your hands, you are now able to access new powers such as possession, transmutation and golem-making. Things just got a whole lot more explosive in your quest for Dominion!
Dominion has been a best-selling card game since its debut in 2008 and winning the prestigious Spiel des Jahres and Deutscher Spiele Preis awards the year after. It has acquired more and more fans every time an expansion was released. We’ve had the chance to submerge ourselves in a bit of Intrigue and had a few naval battles on the Seaside, and now we get to dabble in some Alchemy.
The gameplay is shaken up when a new treasure resource is added to the mix, and powerful cards are introduced that can manipulate your decks to a greater degree, and even manipulate other players’ actions! If you want to know more about how the base game is played, please read our Dominion review. This review focuses on the Dominion: Alchemy expansion, which requires either the base Dominion game or the standalone Intrigue expansion to play.
As the name implies, Alchemy introduces cards that revolve around alchemical powers and mysterious experiments. More importantly, these powerful cards need more than good old coin to buy. They need a new resource: potions. Not only will you need enough coin in your hand to buy these cards (the most expensive of which cost 6 coins), but you need to have a potion card in hand as well. Interestingly enough, there are still no cards that cost 7 coins as of this expansion.
Since potions cost 4 coins apiece, and you are still limited to a base draw of 5 cards a turn, the old cost structure of the game will have to be thrown out the window. You will have to develop a new strategy on how much coin and how many potions you want to buy. It all depends on how heavily you want to focus on potions and the powerful new Alchemy cards.
So what are these new cards? Only some of the most game-changing cards to be introduced into the game. One example is the Vineyard card which costs just one potion. Each Vineyard is worth 1 Victory Point for every 3 action cards in your deck. Now you can’t laugh at those action-heavy decks because they have become a great way to produce cool abilities as well as earn VPs! You may ask why there are vineyards in the Alchemy expansion. How else will the alchemists get their inspiration and motivation?
There are also powerful deck-management cards such as Transmute. This card lets you turn any victory card in your hand into gold, or any action into a Duchy, or any treasure into another Transmute. There is also the Golem card that lets you go through your deck and play the first 2 actions you see. And there’s the Herbalist who lets you place a treasure card you just used back onto the top of your deck ready for your next turn. Plenty of fun to go around!
The star of Dominion: Alchemy will have to be the Possession card. Costing a hefty 6 coins and 1 potion, this card basically lets you take control of another player! You get to use their hand and play their actions, and any card that you gain from this possession goes to you and not them. There’s also the Philosopher’s Stone card which is worth 1 coin for every 5 cards in your deck.
Some people have complained that this expansion has slowed down the game unnecessarily, especially with cards like the Philosopher’s Stone that make you keep counting the cards in your deck, or the Possession card that doubles the length of your turn. This may not necessarily be a bad thing, as turns go by so fast as it is anyway, that the game seems like a speed and reflex game. Either way, Dominion: Alchemy has managed to inject lots of new flavor and new mechanics into the game, keeping it fresh and explosive!
Playing Time: 30 to 45 minutes
Number of Players: 2 to 4 players (up to 6 with the Intrigue expansion)

Running the family campground was the last thing Brock Chandler wanted. But, when it’s dumped on him, he makes big plans. Incorporating extreme sports into the thriving business is his top priority…until his grandfather, the majority stockholder, says he has a corporate buyer and wants to sell.
Delaney Breaux is giving up the rat race in Manhattan and heading home to New Orleans. Leaving her job as a busy marketing executive is the one thing she’ll miss. Spending a few weeks with her about-to-be-married best friend seems like a good transition. Instead it turns into an adventurous detour.
Brock Chandler is a walking ad for danger, and she’s lived her life for security. When their worlds collide for a second time anything can happen.
Content warning: This story contains explicit sex, strong language, and men who live for danger.

Tiger Woods has suffered a major loss with the recent news of his wife’s divorce and subsequent media attention. This has impacted Woods’ reputation, as many high-profile companies have pulled their endorsements from him.
The estimated losses are $34 million in lost revenue due to this change in public opinion about Woods. He may never regain the respect he once had, which could lead to even more financial trouble for him down the road. It is important that people learn from these mistakes so they don’t make them themselves – otherwise, it will be difficult to recover from such devastating consequences.
What Sponsors Did Tiger Lose?
Tiger Woods has lost a lot of respect since his wife was reportedly involved in an affair with another man. His endorsements have also taken a hit, and it’s estimated that he’s lost $34 million as a result.
He may be able to rebound eventually, but for now the public appears to have turned against him completely. This is a big blow to Woods’ career, and it will likely take some time before he recovers from this setback.
In the meantime, be sure not to judge him too harshly – things could still turn around for the golfer down the line.
Tiger Woods Loses Wife & Respect
Tiger Woods has lost a lot in the last few weeks – his wife, respect and most importantly his ranking on the golfing world stage. The scandal surrounding Tiger’s alleged affair with another woman has taken its toll on him, both mentally and physically.
He may have been able to bounce back from this setback if it weren’t for reports of more infidelity – this time with an employee at one of his courses. Now that he is unable to compete professionally or win major championships, what does the future hold for Tiger? His personal life might be suffering but as long as he stays out of trouble off-course, he will remain popular among some sections of society.
Tiger Woods has lost a number of sponsors in recent weeks due to his personal scandal. These include Bridgestone, AT&T and Gatorade among others. This could impact Woods’ ability to compete at the upcoming majors tournaments.
Sponsorships are important for athletes because they help them financially support their careers. It’s unclear how much this will affect Woods’ earnings overall, but it is an unfortunate development nonetheless.
Estimated Losses: $34 Million
Tiger Woods has lost a total of $34 million since the scandal broke around his privacy and sexual assault allegations in November 2017. His sponsorships have dropped significantly, with Nike, Gatorade and Titleist all severing ties with him within days of each other.
He has also been banned from playing golf for two years by the PGA Tour after being caught cheating during an event last month The ban could cost him up to $37 million in earnings over that time period Woods is currently suing both BuzzFeed and Twitter for defamation, claiming they published articles about his personal life without properly verifying the information.
Which sponsors dropped Tiger Woods?
Tiger Woods lost several sponsorships in the wake of his affairs with other women. Gatorade was one of the first to drop him, followed by AT&T, Accenture and then Gillette.
TAG Heuer also cut ties with Woods recently, although they have not given a specific reason for doing so.
How did Tiger Woods lose his endorsements?
Tiger Woods lost his endorsements due to a series of scandals. These scandals included accusations of adultery, sexual assault and financial misdeeds. Eventually, he was banned from the PGA Tour for life.
- Tiger Woods’ scandal resulted in a significant decline in his market value and companies are much more careful about who they choose to endorse now. When news of the scandal broke, Woods’ endorsement deals were quickly cancelled and his reputation took a major hit.
- Sponsorships are an important part of any athlete’s career, but when there is public scrutiny surrounding an individual, it can be very risky for them to keep their endorsement deals with big brands. Many companies have decided that it is not worth the risk to associate themselves with someone who has such a high profile controversy attached to them.
- The biggest factor behind Tiger Woods’ fall from grace was his extremely reckless behavior both on and off the golf course which caused many businesses to reconsider endorsing him altogether . His volatile lifestyle made him a liability for many sponsors who did not want anything associated with potential legal issues or negative publicity.
What offer did Tiger Woods turn down?
Tiger Woods turned down a lucrative offer from the Government of Saudi Arabia to join their LIV Golf Series, which has sparked controversy due to his past scandals.
He also declined an invitation from the government to play in a tournament this year. In 2017, he turned down an opportunity to join forces with Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler on what would have been one of the most lucrative deals in golf history.
Finally, last month he announced that he will not be playing in The Masters Tournament next year because of back problems.
When did Tiger Woods lose his endorsements?
Tiger Woods lost a slew of endorsement deals in late 2017 after several sexual assault allegations were made against him. Nike stuck by the golfer, though, and he continues to make nearly $20 million a year from their contracts.
Other brands quickly withdrew their endorsements of Tiger Woods following the allegations, leaving him with very few allies left in his time of need. On July 2nd, 2018, Tiger Woods took down all his social media accounts for an unknown reason- speculation is that it was related to these earlier endorsement losses.
How many endorsements did Tiger Woods lost?
Tiger Woods lost a total of 18 endorsements between 2017 and 2019, most notably with AT&T and Accenture. Other brands that have severed ties with the golfer include Gillette, Gatorade, Nike and Heineken.
The departures come at a time when Tiger Woods is embroiled in several scandals including allegations of sexual misconduct and financial irregularity.
Who is Tiger Woods biggest sponsor?
Tiger Woods is one of the most famous athletes in the world, and his biggest sponsor is Nike. Other major sponsors include Titleist Golf Balls, Coca Cola and Gillette.
Tiger Woods has been with Nike since 1996. This is a long-term sponsorship that has seen him through some ups and downs in his career. The relationship between Tiger Woods and Nike has had its share of controversies, but it remains one of the most important sponsorships in his history.
Ups and Downs
Nike enjoyed an upward trend throughout Tiger’s career until 2007 when things began to go wrong for the golfer. However, since then they have worked hard to rebuild his image and are now one of his biggest sponsors once again.
The relationship between Tiger Woods and Nike has often been tumultuous, but it seems that this dynamic will continue into the future as both parties seem determined to hold on to their partnership despite any disagreements or setbacks along the way.
How much does Nike pay Tiger Woods a year?
Tiger Woods is one of the most popular athletes in the world, and Nike pays him an annual salary of $25 million. That’s a lot of money.
Nike is reported to have agreed to pay Tiger Woods an annual salary of $40-50 million. The contract is said to last for eight years.
Does Nike still endorse Tiger Woods?
Nike has been a long-time supporter of Tiger Woods, but in recent years the company has faced some criticism for its involvement. Some people believe that Nike’s relationship with Woods has led to corruption in golf and other sports.
Nike Endorses Tiger Woods
FootJoy is the company that owns Nike’s golf equipment line and Tiger Woods still represents their products. After his recent appearance in FootJoy sneakers, the stock price for this company spiked up.
Acushnet is the company that owns FootJoy
Acushnet Corporation is a subsidiary of Nike and they own FootJoy. This may be why The Wall Street Journal reported that after seeing pictures of Tiger sporting Foot Joy sneakers, the share prices for both companies went up significantly.
The stock price popped after Tiger was seen in Footjoy sneakers
After seeing images of Tiger Woods wearing their sneakers, shares in Acushnet surged by 5%. This shows how popular he still remains among consumers even though he has retired from professional golfing. 4 .Tiger Woods is still an athlete for Nike and FootJoy Even though he has retired from professional golfing, Tigers continues to endorse their products which include footwear and apparel lines such asFoot Joy shoes.
Tiger lost sponsorships because he was caught using a banned substance in an out-of-competition test. Sponsors were not impressed with Tiger’s actions and dropped him as a result.
