Digital wall clocks have long been a staple of American homes and offices.
The digital clock’s 4-digit display allows users to quickly and easily keep track of the time, and it’s also easy to share your progress with others.
However, for many, the digital wall clocks aren’t all that practical when the day is dark, and the digital books you might find in your library are a little less convenient.
To find 4-digit evening, you’ll need to know what the clock is showing, which books are available, and where to find them.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the basics of finding digital wall time.
Find Your Digital Clock With Your Library’s Library Card We’ve all read about the advantages of the library card, which is a small, digital-only card that you can use to keep track in your home or office.
However for many people, the library cards aren’t that convenient, and that’s where digital clocks come in.
With a digital clock, you can simply scan a QR code, insert it into your wallet, and your library card is ready to go.
The library card has the ability to sync to your mobile device, so it’s a convenient way to track when a book is available or when it’s time to go out for dinner.
You can also scan it to an e-reader, but that’s a little more complicated.
To scan a library card with your digital clock app, you need to download and install an app called Digital Wall Time, which was recently added to Apple’s App Store.
If you’re already using an app to track your library, the easiest way to do this is to download the library app.
If not, then you can also try out the Google app or the free app from Google.
Once you’ve installed Digital Wall Timers, you should see a notification at the bottom of your screen that says “Library Card Status” in the top right corner.
That means your library is now synced to your app.
Now all you have to do is scan the QR code and enter your library information into the app.
After scanning the code, you will see the library number, the name of the book you’re looking for, and whether the book is in stock or on sale.
The app will then let you know whether you’re in the store or out of stock.
Find The Book You’re Looking For When you scan the library code, the app will let you choose the book in the library that you want to scan.
The book you choose will appear in the app’s search field, and you can filter it based on the books you’re currently looking for.
For example, if you’re searching for “digital books,” you could choose the books in the collection of “Digital Wall Timer,” or the collection that has a book for sale.
After you select a book, the book will be scanned in, and an orange bar will appear above the book’s thumbnail.
The orange bar indicates that the book has been scanned, and a “Scan” button will appear at the top of the screen.
After the scan is complete, the orange bar is gone, and there’s a blue bar above the bar indicating that the scanner has successfully completed the scan.
To return to the library, you simply tap the “Scan Now” button on the left side of the orange button.
Scan The Book That You’re Now Looking For If you have a library that has only digital books in stock, you won’t be able to scan them as they will be unavailable.
Instead, you may want to select the books that you’re not currently looking to buy.
If the library is in the “Out of Stock” or “Backordered” list, the apps you’ve downloaded for this collection of books may not have enough data to scan the books.
You may need to scan more books in order to find the books with the most available data.
To do this, you must scan more than one book in your collection.
The first book in a collection will be selected, and when the first book is scanned, the next book will appear on the screen and the scanner will scan the book.
After that, you scan all the books from that collection, and then the next item will appear.
So for example, when you scan “digital book 1,” the next “digital” book will then appear on screen.
To close out of a collection, tap the orange “Scan Next” button, and all the items in that collection will scan, including the books not currently in stock.
This is where the app can save the data to your device, and also allows you to use your library cards for other digital content.
You’ll have access to this information by scanning your library at any time and tapping the “Save” button.
Scan the Book That Is In Stock To scan the next digital book, you have two options.

Here’s a roundup of noteworthy items in the news, including:
New Guidance on Anti-Depressants.
Two Wyoming Bobsledders. Two Horrific Brain Injuries. One Survivor.
Evidence indicates women have a tougher time recovering from brain injuries.
New Guidance on Anti-Depressants
One of the advantages of having a national health service is the ability to more easily perform meta-analyses of patient outcomes and learn what’s working and what isn’t.
Such an analysis was performed in the UK with regard to anti-depressants, and here are the highlights of their new guidance:
Anti-depressants should only be prescribed AFTER equally effective behavioural interventions have failed.
By default, they should be used temporarily for a period of months before they are slowly reduced and eliminated. This is due in part to how severe the withdrawal symptoms can be when one takes the drugs for too long.
Patients should be given far clearer education on the risks of starting these drugs. They should also be given clearer guidance on the need to get off the drugs and how to go about that in a gradual way. They should start the prescription with the expectation that they will gradually get off the drugs within a year.
The general public and medical professionals need to be re-educated: Depression is not a “chemical imbalance”.
Patients need to know that slowly discontinuing the drugs comes with withdrawal symptoms, and these should not be mistaken as a return of their condition.
The Evening Standard podcast The Leader hosted an interview with Mark Horowitz from University College London on the matter. You can listen to that here:
University College London and the Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust have worked together on the review, looking into the role of antidepressants and how to help patients stop using them.
They have recommended that doctors should prescribe fewer antidepressants and for shorter periods of time, and also argued that long-term use for many is probably inappropriate.
Mark Horowitz is a clinical research fellow in psychiatry from University College London who worked on the review.
He discusses their recommendations for doctors, how patients should stop using the drugs, and the evidence around serotonin levels.
In the interview, Mr Horowitz said that women received 50% more medication than men, meaning that women receive far more prescriptions.
When post-concussion syndrome goes on for months, people can understandably fall into clinical depression, and it’s common for such people to be prescribed anti-depressants.
These findings seem to indicate that such a course of action should likely be seen (by doctor and patient) as a temporary measure, one that should only be undertaken after other equally effective measures fail.
Story About Two Wyoming Bobsledders in NY Times
There was yet another story about the suffering of athletes in the aftermath of concussions, this time in the sport of bobsledding, in the New York Times.
I find such stories incredibly frustrating to read. Time and again, the people in a position to help the afflicted display near-total ignorance. And the reporters of these stories, not knowing any better, accept the ignorance without any further interrogation.
Only a few days prior to the publication of the NYT story, I posted this piece on Brainwave, which actually gets at the central question posited (but not answered) by the NYT piece.
Women seem to have a tougher time recovering from brain injuries
A new study involving female veterans with brain injuries indicates that women have a tougher time recovering from such injuries due in part to differences in male and female brains.
Odette Harris, MD, professor of neurosurgery and a brain trauma expert, led the study that began five years ago. She was wary of sharing her findings. “I was concerned that this information could be weaponized or misconstrued. We’re not saying women don’t do as well as men, or women aren’t as strong as men. That’s not it at all,” she said.
One of the takeaways: After a TBI, women seem to experience greater levels of cortical thinning than men.
Here’s a video about a case connected to the study.
Brainwave is an informational resource for people whose symptoms haven’t resolved after a concussion or mTBI. I endeavor to present this information in a clear and concise way, spelling out what’s backed by science and what remains unknown. Nothing here is meant as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. I am not a physician or a healthcare practitioner of any kind; I’ve simply had a lot of sports-related concussions and had to learn this stuff the hard way. If you found this information helpful or know someone who might benefit from it, please share and subscribe to Brainwave.

Conservative lawyer George Conway is expressing concern over the mysterious disappearance of Mark Meadows, former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff, amidst an ongoing federal investigation into Trump’s actions surrounding the 2020 election. Special Counsel Jack Smith is leading the investigation, delving into Trump’s attempts to overturn the election results and his actions related to the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot. The gravity of the situation has been heightened by Trump’s recent revelation that his attorneys received a target letter from federal investigators, indicating the possibility of charges against him in the case.

Conway, known for his astute legal analysis, has acknowledged the complexity of interpreting the lack of additional target letters. He explains that some individuals may choose to remain silent even if they have received target letters, while prosecutors may have various reasons for not issuing target letters when pursuing charges. The absence of such letters for other members of Trump’s team has piqued curiosity and speculation among the public and legal experts alike.
Meadows’ silence is particularly intriguing to Conway, who points out that during the documents case, only one person, Waltine Nauta, did not cooperate. ( 📈 Ivanka Trump just got dragged by the hair into the Hunter Biden scandal ) Meadows, a frequent guest on right-wing news networks, has recently been uncharacteristically quiet, which has raised eyebrows and added to the mystery surrounding the investigation. Conway suggests that there may be more to Meadows’ low profile, considering his significant role as Trump’s chief of staff during the relevant period of interest in the investigation. As someone who was closely involved with the former President, Meadows’ disappearance from the public scene during this critical inquiry is both curious and significant. (wrestling-edge.com)
The ongoing federal investigation into Trump’s actions and the conspicuous absence of target letters for other members of his team continue to captivate the nation. As politically mature individuals, we must pay close attention to the unfolding developments and their potential implications. ( 📈 Judge Is Angry With Prosecution Team Handling Trump Investigation… AND THIS IS WHY ) The investigation’s outcome could have far-reaching consequences for the nation’s political landscape and the accountability of those in power.

The Ethiopian Health Insurance Agency, a new establishment designed to change the nation’s health insurance platform, is almost ready to launch the first ever health insurance scheme in the country. Its goal is to escalate the health service coverage in order to speed up sustainable health care financing that augments equitable admittance to enhanced health services by means of cross-subsidization. The scheme is a walk away from out-of-pocket payments for healthcare. It is an important step towards averting financial hardships associated with paying for health services. Social health insurance is mandated for those employed where wage rates are high. In turn, this service is extended to those unemployed through a subsidy. Since a large proportion of people are employed in the informal sector in counties like Ethiopia, governments are unlikely to manage compulsory insurance in the informal sector. This forces governments to depend on insurance schemes offered on a voluntary basis to the non-formal sector where the bulk of the poor work. Here, premiums would be considerably below the actuarially fair price.
If universal healthcare coverage is to be financed through insurance, the risk pool needs compulsory contributions (otherwise the rich and healthy will opt out); the risk pool has to have large numbers of people since pools with a small number cannot spread risk sufficiently and are too small to handle large health costs; and where there is large number of poor, pooled funds will generally be subsidized from government revenue.
The decree has made health insurance compulsory to employers with more than 10 employees including government workers, pensioners and private employees. The premium for the health service is to be obtained from 3 Pct contributions of employees and employers based on the monthly salary of their workforce, while pensioners contribute one percent from their monthly income. The scheme provides essential health coverage and curative out patient care, inpatient care, delivery services, surgical services and diagnostic tests and generic drugs for the insured population when prescribed by medical practitioners.
Social health insurance (SHI) is not a new phenomenon in the world. In fact Germany has the world’s oldest national social health insurance system, with origins dating back to Otto von Bismarck’s Sickness Insurance Law of 1883. It is a conventional scheme deep-rooted all over the world. SHI has also been mandated for formal-sector workers in a number of developing countries. In order to achieve universal healthcare coverage, the institutional structure that emphasizes payment to providers for services delivered has been offered to those beyond the formal workforce (Vietnam 1993 and 2003, Nigeria 1997, Tanzania 2001, Ghana 2005, India 2008, China 2003) as an alternative to direct tax-based financing of providers and out-of pocket payments. In most other countries national health insurance systems were implemented in the period following World War II as a process of deliberate healthcare reform, intended to make health care affordable to all, in the spirit of Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 by nations which had adopted the declaration as signatories.
Although, health insurance industry plays a ubiquitous role in the nation’s socio economic development, it has a significant impact and would change the conventional way of providing voluntary commercial health insurance, unless the commercial insurers adjust their scheme to suit the changing needs. Currently, although official statistical data is unavailable, commercial insurers on average generate 25-30 Pct of their life and health premium income from health insurance.
Subsequent to the launching of the new scheme, the commercial insures will only concentrate on risks that fall over and above the benefits granted by social health insurance schemes. This might force them to reside only in areas not covered by social health schemes such as worldwide coverage and provide coverage for the usually “undesirable risks”. Here it has to be noted that insurers regard such segregated risks as “Adverse selection” as the perils naturally create imbalance on the “law of large numbers” which is a pillar to most insurance principles and a source for insurer’s profitability since such perils are nearly certain to happen. In many insurance markets, premiums paid by policyholders are pooled so that the financial impact of a single event doesn’t wipe out a household or organization. Health insurance is an exception where many policyholders use their insurance frequently. Thus, the math of insurance is about basics: pooling of risk from a large number of policyholders to fund a smaller number of unforeseen losses. However, this might not work where there exists adverse selection.
The commercial insurers reside only to niche markets from such adversely selected perils although the tendency requires prudent risk management capacity. Ironically the uninsured areas that the scheme might exclude encompass treatments outside the country, treatment of injuries resulting from natural disasters, social unrest, epidemics, and high risk sports, treatments related to drug abuse or addiction and periodic medial check-ups unrelated to illness cosmetic surgeries, organ transplants, dialysis except acute renal failure, provision of eyeglass and contact lenses, in vitro fertilization, hip replacement, dentures, crowns, bridges, implants and root canal treatments except those required due to infections, provision of hearing aids and health services provided to any beneficiary free of charge are left for commercial insurers although these are “least preferred” perils for commercial insurers; provided the willingness of employers to buy such coverage to their employees. However, the challenge posed here is that as health care costs continue to rise, it is possible that employers will decide to drop health coverage as an employee benefit for obvious reasons.
The benefit might have minimal impact on the personal accident insurance policies since it does not cover occupational injuries, traffic accidents and other injuries covered by other laws since the proclamation considered such matters as inapplicable laws according to article 11 sub article 1 and 2 (a and b). The scheme has excluded additional medical benefits granted under collective agreements concluded in accordance with the Labour Proclamation No. 377/2003
Conversely, for the insured, the scheme would bring numerous advantages since it forces the commercial insurers to widen the scope of cover, loosen stringent policy terms and conditions, and diminish the list of exclusions from their insurance policies so as to stay competitive and win the heart and mind of customers. Moreover, beneficiaries of the social health insurance scheme are insured members and their families which have a wider scope than the commercial benefit coverage.
Challenges that the new scheme might face include: claim fraud, high patient traffic and exodus to health centers since the majority of health care costs worldwide are the direct result of unhealthy lifestyles and/or failure to adhere to recommended treatment plans. Hospitals may see an influx of claims received for adjudication, benefits that are exhausted, benefits not covered, and resulting denials. At the same time, the non-financial barriers to access to healthcare, such as awareness and distance to healthcare facilities, must be minimized. Further, more rigorous evaluation studies on implementation and the impact of health insurance must be conducted to generate evidence for better-informed policy decisions.
In all likelihood, the commercial insurers may stagger to provide the conventional commercial health insurance, since the new platform might require their enrollment and scope of broader coverage. Although it reduces the mortality rate for other personal or life insurance policies, the practical impact of the new scheme on the commercial insurers and responses to the actions and reactions of affected stakeholders will be clearly noticed after full scale implementation. But obviously, the new health insurance scheme might serve as a major driver of innovation to the commercial and personal health insurance industry in Ethiopia which highly suffers from supply side imperfections and lack of demand.
To determine the core needs of their customer base, commercial insurers will be forced to benchmark how other countries have managed such issues and adjust themselves. Accordingly, they need to formulate strategies to attract new consumers and to retain the existing ones through value-added and complementary health insurance services so as to better position themselves in the individual insurance market. Apparently, the new individual cohort will likely require a more sophisticated segmentation and analytical approach than in the past.
We wait to see whether employers drop health care benefits as costs become non-sustainable and state-run health exchanges loom as an alternative for employees? Will individuals without employer coverage choose to enter the individual insurance market? If so, what insurance features will they prefer? Will some select minimal coverage? How will doctors and hospitals respond as increased numbers of individual policy holders pressure the system? The journey has just begun and the new social health scheme is anticipated to revolutionize the way commercial insurers think.

The 2015 Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage is a promising sign that puts LGBT couples and families on equal footing with their straight counterparts. However, legal questions resulting from the interpretation and ramifications of this ruling will arise for years to come. Gay and lesbian couples in Florida still face tangible barriers and discriminatory practices that undermine their goals, security and dignity while violating their constitutionally guaranteed rights.
Brandon Family Law Center, LLC, provides comprehensive legal counsel and representation to the LGBT community in the Tampa Bay area. We work to help clients solve problems, plan for the future and exercise the full complement of equal rights guaranteed to them under the law.
A Resource For Same-Sex Couples And Their Families
Gay and lesbian couples now enjoy legal recognition of the legitimacy of their relationships, including domestic partnerships and same-sex marriages that were previously unrecognized under Florida law. However, the legal troubles of LGBT citizens are far from over.
LGBT Floridians face many of the same legal issues that arise in any family law context, including:
- Creating families through adoption or a surrogate
- Having access and time-sharing with their children
- Using advance directives
- Serving as legal guardians
- Drafting wills and living wills that will be honored
- Having access to a partner's medical records through the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
- Having the same estate planning options
- Qualifying for Medicaid and other benefits
- Transferring property titles and deeds
- Planning for business succession
- Renting or owning property as a couple
- Establishing processes and protections for dissolution of relationships
Addressing Problems Of Equity And Access
Although the law has changed, it is sure to take more time for people and institutions to accept the change. You may still find yourself fighting to protect your constitutionally guaranteed rights. These are issues of simple fairness, but resolving these matters often requires creative solutions through a hybrid of family law, estate law, civil contract law and civil rights advocacy.
Our lawyers can knowledgeably address the unique legal matters that gay and lesbian parents encounter, from second-parent adoption and same-sex surrogacy arrangements to disputes over child custody, property and financial support. When possible, we employ the collaborative process for dispute resolution, with a goal to building bridges between parents rather than tearing families apart.

Wellington [New Zealand], June 13 (ANI): Former New Zealand cricketer Sir Richard Hadlee has recently underwent a surgery to remove a tumour.
Confirming the news, New Zealand Cricket on behalf of Hadlee's wife Lady Dianne Hadlee said that the former player was last month diagnosed with bowel cancer, but he is now recovering well following an operation to cure the tumour.
"Last month, Richard had a routine, 3-year colonoscopy, and we discovered that he has bowel cancer. He has since had an operation to remove the tumour. This operation went extremely well and he has made an excellent recovery from surgery," ESPNcricinfo quoted the statement, as saying.
Lady Dianne also added that her husband would now undergo further treatment in the form of chemotherapy as a safeguard.
"It is expected that, in time, he will have a full recovery," the statement said.
Widely dubbed as New Zealand's greatest ever cricketer, Hadlee took a total of 431 Test wickets - a world record at the time of his retirement for most wickets in the longest format of the game-- in 86 matches he played at an average of 22.29. He also chipped in with 3124 runs at 27.16 in Tests.

I like the way these fandroids like to spout sales figures when these figures aren't actually sales figures from Android devices but shipped figures.
Devices shipped does not equal devices sold. Apple give sales figures.


France have named a team shorn of seven regulars for Saturday's rugby league international against England in Paris. Sébastien Raguin, Jamal Fakir (both knee) and Dimitri Pelo (ankle) had already been ruled but three other Catalans Dragons – the winger Cyril Stacul (broken thumb), the prop David Ferriol (sprained ankle) and the second-rower Olivier Elima (eye) – will be missing too.
Carcassone's Christophe Moly is also absent because of personal reasons. The new Tricolores coach Bobbie Goulding has therefore been forced to name a patched-up starting XIII.
The uncapped 21-year-old Frederick Vaccari, who has yet to play for Catalans in Super League, will start on the wing, while the versatile Toulouse player Constant Villegas will be at full-back.
Nine of the team play for Catalans, with three coming from the Co-operative Championship club Toulouse and the other – scrum-half Mikael Murcia – at Limoux.

Bulgaria's Airports Handled Almost 7M Passengers in 2013
Airports in Bulgaria have handled a record number of almost 7 M international flight passengers in 2013 which is a 4% growth compared to previous year.
However, the industry still has many problems that need solving, according to Bulgarian Airline Association head Svetoslav Stanulov.
In 2013, Bulgarian airlines handled more than 2 million passengers, which is a nearly 6 percent annual increase.
Foreign airlines were preferred by almost 5 million passengers, an increase of over 3% compared to 2012.
Bulgaria's airline industry insists on recognizing the single entry Schengen visa. Due to violation of regulations regarding the single entry visa, Bulgarian airlines have been fined over BGN 400,000.
Another major problem pointed out by the industry is that by 2017 there may be a shortage of pilots because of the costly training.

Acrilc Tallit with Gold and Purple Silk Stripes
A regal classic hand painted gold and Purple prayer shawl designed by Galilee Silks. The blessing is on the Atara in white, on a colored background.
This prayer shawl is simple yet beautifully classic with its majestic colors of gold and Purple hand painted onto the garment. Seeing that the tallitot are hand painted and cut by hand, no two can be alike thus making this a one of a kind prayer shawl for women. While traditionally, the wearing of the Jewish prayer shawl has been a predominantly men’s apparel, it has recently become a popular item for women in the Jewish world. Wearing the tallit (shawl) has become almost a symbol for women to express their pride and belief in Judaism and religion. Fashion is a very personal concept and each woman has a different style.

Chances are, you’ve bathed at least four times in the last week — and if you’re in the United States, you’ve done so daily, give or take. Showering habits differ by country and region — Americans tend to do so daily, and, according to the Atlantic, “Americans attested to showering more frequently than the Chinese, Brits, and Japanese, where respondents said they take about five showers per week, but not nearly as often as people in Brazil and Colombia, where people seemingly sometimes take more than one shower per day.”
But in any event, you’ve probably showered recently, and often.
Which makes you very different than David Whitlock. As of 2019, he hadn’t taken a bath or a shower in over 15 years. And, apparently, he doesn’t smell.
Whitlock, a chemist, got his start as a never-showerer in 2003 or so when he was on a date with his future girlfriend. She — connecting with his science background — asked him what she probably thought was an innocent question: why do horses roll around in the dirt? Humans tend to avoid doing that; do horses know something we don’t?
Whitlock didn’t know, but being a scientist, he investigated. And, as Vice reported, “Whitlock found out that horses rub living bacteria into their skin to protect the flora living there.” Or, in other words, horses don’t shower, but instead, they developed a way to keep the good bacteria on their skin — by getting dirty. Whitlock postulated that this could work for humans, too, so he started to “collect the bacteria from the soil of barns, pigsties, and chicken coops,” as NPR reported. There’s obviously a lot of stuff in there you don’t want to touch, but Whitlock was able to separate out the good bacteria from the bad. Then, per Vice, he “gathered some of these good bacteria, which neutralize dangerous organisms and hazardous substances on the skin, and made them into a spray that he’s been using since for his daily hygiene.” If parts of his body get dirty, sure, he’ll rinse that part off, but that’s only as needed. Whitlock doesn’t take baths or showers; he just spritzes himself with this bacterial mix — twice a day, plus whenever he washes his hands.
For Whitlock, his ongoing experiment — which few have replicated and no one has formally studied — is truly focused on the microbiome of our skin. Per the Guardian, “Although Whitlock appreciated gaining an extra 15 minutes a day from soap-dodging, his primary motivation was to encourage friendly microbes to live on him in symbiotic harmony. The bacteria get to feast on the ammonia from his sweat and he gets low-maintenance, balanced skin.” The bacteria, according to Vice, “breaks down ammonia: the compound that makes human sweat stink in the first place,” so Whitlock claims he doesn’t smell. (In the Vice interview, the publication explicitly asked him “has anyone ever told you that you stink” and he said no, but maybe people were just being polite, so who knows.)
In 2013, Whitlock turned his non-showering into a career — he founded a company called AOBiome, which now manufactures his ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) spray under the Mother Dirt brand (and yes, you can buy it) and is investing in other ways AOB can potentially impact our health, hopefully for the better. And if you want to give his spray a try but don’t want to stop showering, he has good news for you — you don’t have to. As he told Vice, “in order to enjoy the benefits of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, you don’t have to stop showering. You just have to use the spray after drying off after a shower to restore balance to your skin flora.”
Bonus fact: There is one group of people who may benefit from Whitlock’s products (assuming it works): those who are affected by a condition called “aquagenic urticaria.” Effectively, they’re allergic to water — as Wikipedia summarizes, if you have it, “hives develop on the skin after contact with water, regardless of its temperature,” and “in severe cases, drinking water can result in swelling of the oral cavity, swelling of the throat, and in extreme cases, anaphylaxis.” The condition is, unfortunately, untreatable at this point; the few people who have aquagenic urticaria are typically told to try to avoid getting wet.

Separation Strategies for Environmental Pollutants. Theory and Practice
Sample preparation is often the most time-consuming step in chromatographic analysis. In many applications, analytes must be determined in complicated matrices, such as soil, sludge, blood, fuel oils and food in very low concentration. Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) is the traditional method of treating samples. The LLE procedure generally requires several steps, making the cleanup process difficult to automate (i.e. Soxhlet extraction), highly purified solvents that are required, are expensive and many of these solvents are suspected of endangering the health of laboratory workers. Several alternative methods which reduce or eliminate the use of solvents are now being used to prepare samples for chromatographic analysis. These include static and dynamic headspace analysis for volatile compounds, solid-phase extraction (SPE) and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) for semivolatiles or non volatile pollutants. Recently a new variation of SPE has been developed: solid-phase microextraction (SPME). This technique is normally used prior for GC analysis.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A U.S. banking regulator fined Citibank N.A. (N:) $18 million for delays in purchasing mandatory flood insurance for properties where borrowers were located in flood-prone areas.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency said Tuesday that insufficient policies meant the bank took too long to acquire necessary insurance on behalf of borrowers located in flood hazard areas. In a statement, a bank spokesman said Citi was happy to resolve the matter, which had no impact on its borrowers or investors.

The uncertainty over Sam Alladyce’s future has not halted Sunderland’s search for fresh blood, with the Black Cats desperately in need of a new right-back, regardless of who is in the dug-out.
Sunderland’s quest for signings is not helped by England’s approach for Allardyce, particularly as they are one of only three Premier League clubs – along with Burnley and Stoke – who are yet to bring in an incoming player this summer.
But Sabaly – linked with Sunderland on a season-long loan earlier this week – is a possibility for Allardyce, with his future at PSG distinctly uncertain.
The 23-year-old enjoyed a successful loan spell at fellow French side Nantes last season, but has returned to PSG as third-choice right-back after the signing of Belgian international Thomas Meunier – a player who Sunderland had also enquired about.

Bordeaux and Nantes have enquired about Sabaly, as well as Sunderland, with the France Under-21 international open-minded about his future once he has spoken with new PSG boss Unai Emery.
Sabaly told the French press: “I haven’t talked about it yet (with Emery). It’s not easy because the coach has only just arrived.
“I think I will know more in the next few days.
“Both moving abroad and staying in France interest me. I don’t have a preference. It all depends on the type of project that’s offered to me.”
While West Ham striker Diafra Sakho has been Sunderland’s big-money target in Allardyce’s transfer plans, a new right-back has bene of equal importance to the Black Cats boss.
However, the chase has proved to be frustrating after a move for ex-Newcastle United defender Davide Santon fell through at the 11th hour last week.
Santon is still expected to leave Inter Milan, but is now on the verge of a £4million switch to Serie A rivals Napoli.
The chances of last season’s loanee DeAndre Yedlin returning to the Stadium of Light also appear to be receding after the American international admitted earlier this week that he was in the dark over a Sunderland move.

Let's admit - fruits and vegetables were never a preferred lunch choice for most of us in school. During those days, healthy foods took a backseat and noodles, sandwich, cakes and fries were given priority. Have you ever wondered, why? While many might think it's the age to get attracted to fried food, researchers at the University of Illinois find the time dedicated for lunch break to be one of the major factors affecting a child's food habit. A study, published in the journal 'JAMA Network Open' suggests that with more time at the lunch table, kids are more likely to pick up healthy food habits.
Study author Melissa Pflugh Prescott and her associates conducted a study with elementary and middle school children, enrolled in a summer camp on the University of Illinois campus. The researchers set up the lunch area (a school cafeteria look alike) where students would go through the lunch line and select their food. Each day was randomly assigned to be either a short or a long lunch day; however, the menu was kept the same for both the days.
Besides taking a note of the children's food choices, the researchers also observed the behaviour of the children throughout the meal, including their food sharing habits, interaction with friends et al.
They then "compared fruits and vegetable consumption during 10 and 20 minutes of seated lunchtime, and the results were clear," reads a report on ANI.
"During shorter lunch periods, children ate significantly less of the fruit and vegetable parts of their meal, while there was no significant difference in the number of beverages or entrees they consumed. It makes sense that you might eat the part of the meal you look forward to first, and if there's enough time left you might go towards the other parts. But if there's not enough time those items suffer, and they tend to be fruits and vegetables," Prescott explains.
The researchers further state that the main takeaway from the study is that "children need protected time to eat their fruits and vegetables". Which is why, they feel lunch breaks in school needs to be longer to make children eat more fruits and vegetables.

Winnipeg just keeps ticking names off their list of high-profile free agents. In even the last few days, the Blue Bombers have brought back Most Outstanding Player Zach Collaros, Most Outstanding Defensive Player Adam Bighill, and Most Outstanding Lineman Stanley Bryant. And that’s just the most recent news.
Prior to those three massive signings, Winnipeg had already agreed to terms with All-Star offensive linemen Jamarcus Hardrick and Patrick Neufield. All-Star defensive ends Jackson Jeffcoat and Willie Jefferson were also brought back in early January. And you can bet there will be more to come.
Walters is doing the only sensible thing. Sometimes a general manager needs to be pragmatic and make difficult decisions involving important players. Now isn’t that time, though. The Bombers are bringing back organizational pillars still playing elite-level football; even at higher price tags, nothing suggests any of the above players are set to slow down anytime soon.
Winnipeg has the chance to do something special, and every single player they’ve re-signed knows it. As it is, the Blue Bombers are the first team in more than a decade to repeat as Grey Cup champions. But we haven’t seen a team win three straight titles, to become a bona fide dynasty, since Hugh Campbell guided Edmonton to five straight in the early ’80’s.
A chance to make history and cement a legacy is a powerful thing. So too is the culture built by Walters and head coach Mike O’Shea over the last eight years. Players want to play there and they’re more than willing to stay, even if it means foregoing a shot at a likely larger payday in free agency.
Now, even with so many core members committed for the 2022 season, there’s still a lot Walters needs to accomplish. Receivers Kenny Lawler, Rasheed Bailey and Darvin Adams are all unsigned. Defensively, key defensive backs like Alden Darby and Winston Rose need new contracts, too.
Then there’s star running back Andrew Harris. Soon to be 35 years old, Harris and the Bombers have a decision to make. After missing significant time due to injury in 2021, how keen is Harris on returning this year? And can he and Winnipeg find a dollar figure that works for both sides?
Regardless of how things play out with Harris, the Blue Bombers have already done tidy work preparing for a three-peat run. There will probably be a few unfortunate, but unavoidable, departures between now and the start of free agency. But even with an incomplete picture right now, it’s hard not to consider Winnipeg 2022 Grey Cup favourites.
A bumper crop
Speaking of free agency, this year’s signing frenzy opens Feb. 8, which just happens to be two weeks from tomorrow. And just like every year, you know the off-season is about to kick into overdrive when we publish our Top-30 Free Agents here at CFL.ca. The names are big and there are still plenty of them on the board.
Winnipeg’s recent work has taken Collaros and Bryant, ranked first and fifth respectively, out of the top five. But receiver Bryan Burnham, quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, and defensive end Ja’Gared Davis, numbers two through four in order, are all still very much in the conversation.
Of those three players, I’d be most surprised if Davis were to hit free agency. Since arriving in Hamilton for the 2019 season, Davis has cemented himself as one of the CFL’s elite pass rushers. On top of that, the Tiger-Cats know how much of their success runs through their defensive line, which is why I’ll be surprised if Davis is playing elsewhere in 2022.
Masoli is almost certainly headed to free agency after Hamilton and Dane Evans agreed to terms on a new deal earlier this month. That leaves Burnham and a few reports suggesting it might be tough for he and the BC Lions to find an agreement that works for both parties.
With Lucky Whitehead coming back on a big money deal, the Lions may not be in a position to offer Burnham a number commensurate to what he’s accomplished the last few years. If that’s the case, and if Burnham’s association with BC comes to an end after seven seasons, he’ll be a perfect fit in virtually any offence in this league.

However, each model weights the information differently. This means that a FICO® Score cannot be compared directly to a VantageScore® or an Equifax Risk Score. For example, a VantageScore® does not count paid items in collections against you. However, a FICO® Score counts all collections items against you, even if you’ve paid them. Additionally, the VantageScore® counts outstanding debt against you, but the FICO® Score only considers how much credit card debt you have relative to your available credit.
The Bank of America® Travel Rewards Credit Card for Students allows you to earn unlimited 1.5 points for every $1 you spend on all purchases everywhere, every time and no expiration on points. This is a simple flat-rate card that doesn’t require activation or paying on time to earn the full amount of points per dollar, like the other two cards mentioned above. If you plan to do a semester abroad or often travel outside the U.S., this card is a good choice since there is no foreign transaction fee. Students with a Bank of America® checking or savings account can experience the most benefits with this card since you receive a 10% customer points bonus when points are redeemed into a Bank of America® checking or savings account. And, Preferred Rewards clients can increase that bonus 25%-75%.Read our roundup of the best student credit cards.
Credit reporting companies must investigate the items you question within 30 days — unless they consider your dispute frivolous. They also must forward all the relevant data you provide about the inaccuracy to the organization that provided the information. After the information provider gets notice of a dispute from the credit reporting company, it must investigate, review the relevant information, and report the results back to the credit reporting company. If the investigation reveals that the disputed information is inaccurate, the information provider has to notify the nationwide credit reporting companies so they can correct it in your file.
Order your free credit reports. Credit reporting agencies are required to give you a free copy of your credit report once a year, when you request it. You'll need to go to www.annualcreditreport.com to order the reports. The credit report includes a credit score and your credit history. Businesses and lenders use this to decide whether or not to offer you credit and what interest they'll charge.
Whether we like to admit it or not a little three-digit number rules our credit life that’s called our credit score. If you have a good credit score of, say, more than 750 you should be able to get just about any type of credit you apply for and at a good interest rate. Conversely, if your credit score is down in the dumps at 580 or less, you will have a hard time getting any new credit and if you can it will have a pretty stiff interest rate.

Besides the security deposit, a secured card is just like a regular credit card. Purchases and payments your teen makes with their secured card are reported to the three credit bureaus — TransUnion, Equifax and Experian. You can check that your teen’s credit activity is reported to the bureaus by requesting a copy of their free credit report at annualcreditreport.com. You can request one report from each bureau every 12 months, and we recommend spacing them out over the course of a year — so requesting one copy every four months.
We all know that good credit is important, but most people struggle from time to time with too much debt, loss of income, or other financial emergencies. Collection agencies start entering the picture when payments are late or incomplete. People often file bankruptcy hoping for a new start, only to find their future credit is negatively affected for seven or more years. Understanding how to repair your credit is a far better alternative emotionally and financially.
Just as one example, the average age of your credit accounts is a component of this category. Let's say that you have four credit cards -- one that's a year old, two that you opened three years ago, and one that you opened 10 years ago but don't use anymore. Currently, your average credit card account is 4.25 years old. If you decided to close your old and unused account, however, this average would drop to just 2.33 years and could hurt your FICO score.
If you do not know anything about credit, you will not be sure if the company actually knows what they are doing. You will want to ask about the factors that contribute to a credit rating. Inquire about age of open credit lines, hard credit inquiries, and the percentage of on time payments. A reputable credit repair company will not only know the right answers, but also how to fix them.

If you have impossibly high interest on those credit cards, then do cancel them. It doesn’t help to have open credit cards if the interest rate makes it nearly impossible for you to get the balance down. In fact, banks currently have hardship programs, where they will reduce your interest rate TO ZERO if you agree that they will cancel your cards. Yes, you wll take an immediate hit on your credit score, but that will quickly improve as you pay down your credit cards, which you can now do because you don’t have those usurious interest rates to pay.
The Island Approach also gives you a built-in warning system for overspending. If you ever see finance charges on an account earmarked for everyday expenses, you’ll know you’re overspending. Separating everyday expenses from a balance that you’re carrying from month to month will help you save on finance charges, too. Interest charges are based on an account’s average daily balance, after all.
Payment history accounts for the largest factor affecting your credit score. If you are behind on your payments, you won’t be able to improve your credit situation. Try to bring all of your accounts up to date. If you can’t afford to bring everything up to date at once, you can contact your creditors and work out a payment plan. Be up-front when you contact your creditors, explaining your situation and letting them know that you want to pay your obligation. Let your creditors know how much you can pay, and how long you expect to pay it. In many cases, it’s possible to work out an arrangement that all parties can live with.

Tech companies take the lead as stocks surge on Wall Street
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate
NEW YORK - U.S. stocks made their biggest gain since March on Tuesday as technology companies like Apple and Microsoft soared.
Homebuilders also climbed after the government said sales of new homes reached an eight-year high last month.


But the result of these different combinations is that sometimes some new video resolutions will work but others not and it is not predictibale which combitation to use for which resolution.
Does somebody know how to set new resolutions correctly with the right blueprint commands? Is this a bug in the new version of UE5 Preview 1? Are there any solutions out there?
The Unreal 5 EA version used an older pixel streaming version and there were no problems with the video resizing so you can change via “r.setres wxh” console command and the videostream gets immediatly updated/resized without any issues.
With Unreal 4.27.2 version the video gets also correctly resized with this command set on event begin play:
There are 3 possible routes to solve this headache:
When client requests for a resolution change, send a freeze frame which the client can display as a static image, client disconnects and reconnect, automatically restart the video. A potential problem here is that browsers generally block video autoplay if audio is present.
Somehow adjust the video output from the streamer. It seems quite difficult. In 4.27 there is a Capturer, which you can call a method to change the capture resolution. This class and the capture context has been removed in 5.0, thus there is no comparable solutions.
Create new video track with the correct resolution, make client switch to the new track, and finally destroy the old track. I have not checked how viable this it.
This issue has come up a few times in the forum, I’d like to share the answer we’ve posted elsewhere to help clarify the issue!
So the lack of stream resolution changing in Pixel Streaming in UE 5.0 - 5.0.3 is a known regression. With the changes needed to fix the issue, it couldn’t quite make it into the hot-fix release, much to our chagrin.
Good news however, is that it is already fixed in the ue5-main branch on Github!
Sorry for the inconvenience, but know that we’re aware and tackling these issues.

Amidst ongoing trade negotiations and retaliatory tariffs, the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) is putting forward a proposal to assist state growers who have struggled to find new avenues for their products due to uncertain foreign market prospects.
This week, the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) has made a $6 million appropriations request to the state legislature to expand the state’s international market program for agricultural products, create a state market access program and better brand and promote Washington farm goods locally.
Chris McGann, spokesman for WSDA, told Lens: “In general, we are looking at some pretty big changes in global trade policy, and a lot of uncertainty and disruption, especially with some of our long-term trade relationships.
“When we see these foreign partners looking for new relationships with U.S. competitors, we feel like we need to do what we can.”
He added that an estimated $1 billion of state agricultural products are potential targets of retaliatory tariffs, which makes up an important portion of the state’s economy.
McGann said that the proposal takes a multi-pronged approach. If the department is able to secure the funds, the appropriations would go towards expanding the existing international marketing program and providing funds for more in-and out-bound trade missions.
Washington is one of five states that does not have a promotion program for state agricultural products. Other states’ programs include “Fresh from Florida,” “Kentucky Proud” and “California Grown.”
“These are indicators for consumers to say this is a regional product we want to support, or we identify as being high quality,” said McGann. “A brand program would help…expand markets for our producers and strengthen their position.
The funding would also go towards the small farm direct marketing program which helps small farmers sell their products and navigate food assistance programs such as food banks or farm-to-school lunch programs.
“The idea is if there is a restriction in our ability to sell to existing customers in foreign markets, then we…help look for markets and customers and then keep these programs going…” said McGann.
State tree fruit growers have already reported large detrimental effects from tariffs, at approximately $86 million in losses for cherries and $129 million for apples across Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Some buyers purchased goods ahead of time knowing the tariffs would be implemented, so the full impact on those products are yet to be seen.
Jon Devaney, President of the Washington State Tree Fruit Association (WSTFA), told Lens that investing in market access for the tree fruit industry is especially important because one-third of that sector’s products are exported overseas.
DeVaney told Lens that WSTFA had a conversation with WSDA Director Derek Sandison to talk about the department’s proposal before its release. He added that the request followed industry input from members within the agricultural community in talks with Governor Jay Inslee on the effects of the retaliatory tariffs.
“As trade disputes are fought over, agricultural producers are suffering and are making rapid changes to respond to fluctuations in overseas markets…they are facing significant headwinds from the tariffs,” said DeVaney.
He added that although the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is looking into direct payments for farmers, WSDA is proposing to take existing state dollars to assist those producers with removing trade barriers, increasing the ability for growers to promote their products oversea and helping find and expand alternate markets.
“It certainly will be helpful to have additional resources to work to open and expand markets and…offset some of the impacts in affected markets to do additional consumer promotion,” said DeVaney, adding that the success of these changes would likely depend on how trade negotiations proceed, as well as how receptive consumers are to promotions.
Washington state consumers tend to be near the forefront of some of these food trends, he continued, and so local interest in buying state-grown products could indicate additional gains could be made at the local level. However, that would do little to affect apple producers, as about 97 percent of Washington apples are sold outside the state.
“We can’t absorb all the volume of fruit in the state, but every little bit helps; especially for growers who see that their traditional customers in foreign markets will be harder to access in the short or medium term,” said DeVaney, adding that WSTFA appreciates WSDA looking for ways to “use some of its existing authority to try and help the industry in this uncertain time.”
WSDA Director Sandison said it will be “difficult to gauge reaction to the proposed request” since the legislature is not currently in session.

In ancient Egyptian history, the Old Kingdom is the period spanning 2700–2200 BC. It is also known as the "Age of the Pyramids" or the "Age of the Pyramid Builders", as it encompasses the reigns of the great pyramid-builders of the Fourth Dynasty, such as King Sneferu, who perfected the art of pyramid-building, and the kings Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, who constructed the pyramids at Giza. Egypt attained its first sustained peak of civilization during the Old Kingdom, the first of three so-called "Kingdom" periods (followed by the Middle Kingdom and New Kingdom), which mark the high points of civilization in the lower Nile Valley.
The concept of an "Old Kingdom" as one of three "golden ages" was coined in 1845 by the German Egyptologist Baron von Bunsen, and its definition would evolve significantly throughout the 19th and the 20th centuries. Not only was the last king of the Early Dynastic Period related to the first two kings of the Old Kingdom, but the "capital",

The road is kinda broken.. however, this is a good place to chill. Nice coconut water pretty affordable (US$ 1).
It will be nice when they finish the whole project, right now it's a bit barren since there is not much to do
It is still under construction. This is a nice place to admire the river
Nice place to enjoy part of the Magdalena river views, however it is not very well maintained.
Strong winds make it a little hard to stay near the edge of the water, but it has a great view. The road is not very long, though.
