JOHANNESBURG — A top member of South Africa’s governing African National Congress party appeared in court on Friday, charged with corruption, in a rare sign that powerful members of the party could be held to account for endemic pilfering of public funds under former President Jacob Zuma.
Ace Magashule, the party’s secretary general, was charged with 21 counts including fraud, money laundering and corruption, in a court in Bloemfontein, the capital of the Free State province, where he headed the government for nearly a decade. Mr. Magashule, who denies any wrongdoing, was released on bail.
Mr. Magashule is considered one of the A.N.C.’s “top six” — the most influential members of the party that has governed South Africa since the end of white minority rule in 1994. He oversees the day-to-day running of the party, and his arrest could, in theory, push him to leave the influential position.
But this case is profoundly consequential for both Mr. Magashule and the A.N.C. He is the highest-profile serving politician to face charges since Cyril Ramaphosa was elected president two years ago in a fiercely contested leadership race. In a fractious party, Mr. Magashule has emerged as a top rival to Mr. Ramaphosa, instead throwing his support behind the former president, Mr. Zuma.
The charges against Mr. Magashule are related to a government contract to survey low-income houses built with asbestos. The contract, worth 225 million rand, or around $14.4 million, was awarded in 2014, while Mr. Magashule was still the head of the Free State, but six years on, many residents say their homes were never checked or fixes made. Prosecutors allege that the companies awarded the contract outsourced the work at a fraction of the original cost, and subsequently funneled millions to accounts accessed by A.N.C. associates.
The lengthy charges ranged from minor kickbacks to plundering millions from the state coffers, implicating 13 people in total and five companies. Prosecutors allege that Mr. Magashule and other defendants stole public funds worth $13.7 million, in one case. The prosecutors say Mr. Magashule also accepted $3,431 from a businessman who is also facing the court to pay the school fees of his personal assistant, Refiloe Mokoena, who is now serving as a witness for the state. Another allegation involves Mr. Magashule’s directing around $16,000 be paid to a travel company to fund a trip to Cuba for party members.
Mr. Magashule arrived in court on Friday without the leg shackles usually worn by defendants, as thousands of supporters rallied outside. Dressed in a sharp suit, he struck a relaxed pose, smiling and posing for court photographers.
With the party facing mounting public anger over the looting of funds meant for victims of the coronavirus pandemic by some party members and their allies, Mr. Ramaphosa has intensified anti-graft messaging in recent months. After winning the internal party election with promises of “a new dawn,” he has found his attempts to address the issue repeatedly undermined by allies of his predecessor.
The government estimates that at least 500 billion rand, or around $32 billion, was stolen through systemic political corruption during Mr. Zuma’s tenure. Mr. Zuma himself is facing charges of corruption relating to a 1999 arms deal he brokered when he was deputy president.
Mr. Magashule has been implicated in several past corruption scandals. Perhaps the highest-profile, the Vrede dairy farm case, saw $21 million intended as aid for aspiring Black farmers instead funneled to the A.N.C.’s political allies. The episode came to symbolize widespread corruption under Mr. Zuma’s tenure and accusations that the party had betrayed poor Black South Africans. No charges were ultimately filed against Mr. Magashule in that case.
Although the charges announced on Friday could take years to reach a conclusion, experts say they may represent a crossroads for the A.N.C.
“There are so many contradictory noises about who the real A.N.C. is — is it the cleanup A.N.C. or the inherently corrupt A.N.C.?” said Susan Booysen, an author and professor at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. “This ambiguity of who and what the A.N.C. is, that’s actually on the bench — and the A.N.C. continues to survive and do well because of this ambiguity.”
But the case has also drawn an emotional response from many members of the public. During his premiership, Mr. Magashule, a former anti-apartheid fighter, led a drive to recruit tens of thousands of new, younger members to the party, and he remains a popular figure.
Thousands of his supporters walked through the streets of Bloemfontein waving banners with messages of support on Friday. Many were dressed in the gold, black and green of the A.N.C. or in military fatigues, a nod to the apartheid resistance roots of the party.
Dancing and singing apartheid-era liberation songs, one group carried a giant cutout of Mr. Magashule’s head.
“You will never silence the roaring voice of the Black majority,” the message below read.


Man awaits trial in 2015 killing of pregnant Corpus Christi woman
A trial date has not been set for a man accused of fatally beating his girlfriend and her unborn baby nearly two years ago.
Arturo Garza has been in the Nueces County Jail since the May 29, 2015, killing of Susanna Eguia, who was seven months pregnant.
Lawyers met Thursday to discuss a timeline in light of changes, including the new district attorney.
Prosecutors who had handled the case before are no longer with the office. Prosecutor Joe Mike Pena said he took on the case last week.
Defense lawyer James Lawrence said they were waiting for Department of Public Safety testing results on evidence. Recently, their investigator died and another person quit, which might also cause delays in the case, Lawrence said.

What are the symptoms of lung cancer?
On this page, we cover the symptoms of lung cancer. If you have these symptoms, you should see your doctor. Having these symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean you have lung cancer – they’re common and have many different causes.
You may not have many symptoms of lung cancer until a tumour becomes quite large. This means it might only be discovered when you have an X-ray or scan for a different reason.
You may begin to experience symptoms, such as:
- a cough
- lots of chest infections
- feeling out of breath either at rest or when doing day to day tasks
- chest pain
- feeling tired
- appetite loss
- weight loss
- a hoarse voice
- blood in your mucus or phlegm
If you have these symptoms, you should see your doctor.
Having these symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean you have lung cancer – they’re common and have many different causes. People with long-term lung disease might already have many of them. But it’s very important to tell your doctor if your usual symptoms change or become worse.
If you have a tumour that has spread outside your lungs, the first symptom might not come from your chest at all. In this case, symptoms might include:
- back pain
- bone pain or fracture
- nerve or brain damage – this might affect walking, talking, behaviour or memory
- swallowing difficulties
- jaundice – when your skin or eyes become yellow

Last time we talked about the new “My Plate” guidelines designed to help consumers make better food selection choices and how the Supermarket industry is trying to help as well with food ranking systems right on the shelf. I visited my local Raley’s store in Sacramento to check out the NuVal rankings of Oregon Fruit and found that our Red Tart Cherries packed in Water scored a 97! That was one of the highest scores in the section.
A recent article from Oregon State University Health Magazine talked about how the antioxidant levels and flavonoid activity (nutrients which offer protection from oxidative damage, a key association to many age related diseases) was actually HIGHER in canned blueberries than that of frozen or fresh. That study actually used Oregon Fruit when they did the research several years ago.
The key message continues to be –add more plant based foods in any form to your diet. Canned fruit is convenient as it can be kept on hand at all times. It is already clean and ready to eat, pits are removed as well. In the long run it saves you money because you never have to throw away spoiled fruit. Don’t get me wrong, I am a weekly farmer’s market girl. I like to support local farmers and eat food that is as fresh as possible. But I supplement with canned fruits and veggies for convenience and I feel good about it knowing that canning is a great form of food preservation, locking in most of the nutrients and adding a minimum of ingredients.
Like today-I have to bring an appetizer to my neighborhood party tomorrow, The Castro Crush. It’s a block party with a wine theme. I can’t think of a better wine partner than good, fresh baked bread dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar with a sprinkling of black pepper. So I looked in my pantry and found all the ingredients for a Cherry Focaccia. It’s fragrant with fresh sage from my garden, beautiful with the tart cherries and a little bit spicy with cracked pepper and a sprinkling of pink Himalayan salt, coarsely ground. I whipped this up in no time with things I had on hand.
The bonus is how amazing my house smells right now. The trick will be if this treat actually makes it to the party.
Happy Halloween!Tags: Blueberry, focaccia, Red Tart Cherries

Read it ! The begening is slow and the main character is not realy smart BUT as time pass the main character personality becomes more and more interesting, profound, human. Moreover the story is becoming qicker as the story is progressing. And the art is very good and fit well with the story.
I'd like to start off saying the ratings don't match up with the overall score I've chosen. That's because I usually base my reviews off of the emotions I feel while reading the story than the actual content in itself.
This is such a feel-good story, you find yourself rooting for the mc and getting hyped when something good happens. It's a basic layout of other stories, nonetheless the same enjoyment.
Ah yes, back again with another Reaper Scans manhua. In another VRMMO setting, this story truly hits home to what most of us would do if we entered a new world; not save everybody we meet but rather plunder the world and become overgeared while gaining countless heaps of cash. The main character in this story is enjoyable although he is arther done, and the art is once again something to marvel. The only real problem with this is the story. It tells the journey of someone who becomes the best of the best, but there's not much to push you on to the next chapter.
Old one was better, should have just contiuned off old one, even if it was dropped by previous pulisher, such a shame.
New characters are annoying, arts weird, messed with old manga story, which i find worse, basically they haven't done anyhting right and made a perfectly good manga into whatever this is.
This is gonna be a short review. I love this series. The art is amazing, and the characters are amaing as well. In the beginning, I was kinda confused, with the main character and stuff. I am at chapter 34 when i'm writing this.
Spoiler Warning - This is a spoiler to those woh haven't read chapter 34 or less.
I really liked it, when the family had a bad time with their debt, and the MC said he can make money quick to help them. He had already made 200 million. I though the best moment in the seires yet is where the father approves of him playing games and earning money. This is one of the best VR manga I have ever read.

A reflection on the work that I have made this year in the subject module.
Throughout the year I have experimented with many different processes and learnt lots of new things. In the editorial illustration projects I learnt how images can speak for themselves out of context and how putting them into context can change their meanings. I also learnt how it is import to consider what connotations different materials and images can portray especially when it comes to sensitive topics. I also learnt to consider how an image will be accessed by people, for example on a website or in print and how this can effect how you create an image. I also learnt how to make a GIF in this project, something I had only done once and not very well. I also discovered that I need to make my work neater, especially the haunted house image, making the picture bigger would have made it easier to cut out the furniture and using a lighter pencil to sketch before I paint as it can still be seen in the image. I found this project interesting as it simulated what a real life editorial commission would be like, this enabled me to learn about this process and allowed me to consider doing more projects like this in the future.
With the second project Mappa Mundi I was able to develop my collage skills further however I think I used too much collage in this project and not enough of my drawings skills. I enjoyed this project as I was able to develop one of my ideas further however I now wish that I had explored the idea in a different way. Because of this project I realised that I needed to incorporate more of my drawings into my final work as my drawings are quite lively and expressive and I think that these features are lost in the final pieces where I use collage.
In the Penguin Book project I experimented with dynamic shapes and paper cuts in order to to create a book cover. I was also able to experiment with text in relation to images and develop my own style of writing. This project also taught me about how a book cover is put together and what information needs to be included on one. I was also able to experiment with textures which is something that I enjoy incorporating into my work, I think that this project allowed me to start to discover how I can include textures in my work without using a lot of collage and still being able to incorporate drawing into final pieces. I also learnt a lot about dynamism and how using simple shapes can create lively pieces which attract attention.
In the creative conscience project I was able to develop my animation skills further. I was also able to explore how I could use drawings in my final pieces. My final outcome was a set of GIFs that I created using photoshop. The character, a vampire, in the GIFs was created digitally on a tablet, allowing me to draw but making it easier to convert into a GIF. I enjoyed this project as I was able to create something with the aim of helping others and bringing attention to a deserving cause. The idea of my work potentially helping people inspired me and encouraged me to create something that I enjoyed making and that others would enjoy too. I learn’t many skills in this project as I made a series of GIFs in a way that I hadn’t previously used. This project also allowed me to explore how words and images work together, I discovered that in some cases it is important to have a balance between the words and images and to not let one out shadow the other when trying to convey information and interest people. I am very pleased with the work that came out of this project as I think my series of GIFs achieved my goal of encouraging people to give blood in a light hearted and humorous way.
In the final project, the open brief project, I was able to explore a different aspect of my work, a darker and more serious aspect. This project enabled me to discover how I could tackle such a serious topic using my artwork, which is usually lighthearted and charming. I was also able to further explore how words and images work in relation to each other. I enjoyed this project as I was able to work with a narrative which is something that I enjoy and something that I think my work is more suited to. I think that this project was a challenge for me as I had to illustrate something real whereas I often illustrate the imaginary and I had to do this in a way that suited the topic but I still wanted to create something that was visually engaging, including textures. To create the images for this book project I used a process that was fairly familiar to me, watercolour, however I tried to use it in a way that I hadn’t used before. I also used photoshop to create digital backgrounds, this is something that I have done before but I think that I can still improve this technique. I also learnt about book layouts and how to create a book using Indesign which is an important thing for an illustrator to be able to do.
The final outcome of the open brief project.
After making some designs for the final pages I made a dummy book. I then finished off the final pages. I used watercolours to paint the main features of the pages, I then digitally added the backgrounds. I created the font from my own handwriting, I think this works as it isn’t too messy but it looks more personal than a normal font.
The first page is made up of documents and letters that my Grandfather brought back with him from his time as a prisoner of war. I also included a photograph of him and another of him and some other soldiers.
I am fairly happy with how the pages turned out however there is still many changes that I would make to them. I think that I need to experiment more with how the text is placed on the images as it takes up quite a lot of space and detracts from the images a bit. I also need to improve the quality of some of the pages, I could do this by re-scanning some of the artwork ignorer to make it less blurry. I also need to improve the way that I cut out my images and apply them to flat colour backgrounds. One suggestion from my tutor was to use gouache, the same colour as the background, and apply it around the parts of the image that I wish to cut out, creating a smoother transition between the digital aspects and the watercolour parts. I will try this technique to improve my images. I also went to experiment more with the content of some of the pages, for example the third page, with the image of the boat sinking, I think that an image where the main character can clearly be seen climbing across a rope to the ship would be more effective and visually interesting. I would also like to include more textures from real items in the pages like the wooden box on the fifth page and the blindfold on the eleventh. I could paint on bits of the documents and letters and I have some Japanese fans that I could also incorporate.
I also made a cover for my book using images from the existing pages.
The final GIFs that I have made for a campaign that encourages people to donate blood for the Creative Conscience project.
I made some improvements to my GIFs. I started by changing the text so that it stood out more and wasn’t overshadowed by the vampire character. I also changed one of my GIFs to make it more interesting.
I think that the new text looks a lot better than the old, it stands out a lot more and I think that it is easier to read. I also think that enlarging different words makes it look more interesting and eye catching.
I also made a rough poster that could be part of the campaign. I made a landscape and a portrait version so that they could be used in different ways. I think that the poster works but maybe doesn’t relate to the idea of donating blood as well as the image of the vampire. I do think that it is an eye catching design and would be effective at attracting people’s attention.
I then photoshopped a series of images to show how my GIFs and my poster could be encountered in the real world and where they could be shown in order to get people’s attention and to get people to understand more about blood donation in order to convince them to do it.
I’ve created two different scenarios, a social media post and a bus stop billboard as these are places where a GIF could be shown and they are common places to advertise. Because of the shape of the GIF it would be difficult to show on a bus stop billboard however you could show two GIFs at once but this may make it too difficult to read and understand each GIF individually. I think that the GIF on the bus stop board with the black boarder looks better but it wastes a lot of space that could have been used.
I then decided to use a different billboard to show how the GIFs could be encountered in the real world, I chose one which suited the shape of the GIFs that I have made. I think this image looks a lot better as the GIFs fit properly in the billboard frames.
Some more of my development work from this project.
In order to improve my GIFs I decided that the vampire character needed to stay in place in each GIF and not move about too much and to instead animate the text so that the GIFs were more consistent. I also knew that I needed to improve the quality of animation still as they needed to look more sophisticated. I also decided to make 4 GIFS as a set for the project.
For this Fancy a Bite? GIF I kept the vampire character in one place and improved the movement of his arm as in the previous version of this GIF his arm moved very awkwardly and clumsily. I also animated the text so that the text moves instead of the character. I think this format works a lot better as this is inly a short animation it needs to be consistent and easy to follow. I also think that this decision also puts a bit more emphasis on the text as thats what changes and not the character.
For the Don’t be a sucker GIF I did the same thing as I did with the Fancy a bite one as the character only moves at the beginning of the GIF, its the text that moves and changes after the vampire has come into the GIF. I think this looks a lot better as again your attention is drawn more to the text. I also slowed the movement of his blinking and made him move from side to side a bit so that he isn’t too static. I also got rid of the flapping cape as I don’t think that it worked very well.
For the fancy a pint GIF I changed the moment quite a lot. I made it more complicated as the character now lifts its glass and drinks out of it instead of just shaking the glass. I think that this made the GIF much more interesting and eye catching. I also made it so the arm with the pint remains visible for the entire GIF so that it doesn’t just disappear.
I also animated one of my latest ideas. This is a very simple animation that doesn’t really contain much information about donating blood but I think that it is still a fun way of trying to get people to donate blood. I don’t think that this GIF is as effective as some of the others as the only animated aspects are the vampire’s eyes and mouth.
All of these GIFs need improving but I am happy with the animation on most of them. I think that the text on all of them needs to be made bolder or bigger in order for it to stand out more as I think that the vampire draws your attention away from it too much so you don’t really read whats there. I could possibly make some of the important words bigger so that they stand out or I could animate some individual words so that they attract even more attention. I think I also need to change the last GIF, the do something fangtastic one as it isn’t very eye catching because it doesn’t move as much as the others.
The development of the rough GIFs that I made for the Creative Conscience project.
To improve my GIFs I wanted to experiment with different background colours and textures. I also wanted to improve the movement of the character in my GIFs as its very rough and jerky. I want the movements to look more realistic but I still want the GIFs to be simple and quirky.
I started by using acrylic paints to create different backgrounds. I then scanned these in to see how they would look with my vampire character. I also experimented with changing the colour of the text so that it stands out against the different backgrounds. I also made a grey/white background on my tablet which is similar to the original red background. After making all of these different backgrounds I think that the original red one is the most effective as it is vibrant and eye-catching, it contrasts well with the text and the vampire character.
I then used the fancy a bite GIF to experiment with the movement of the vampire character. I changed his movements so that they are more sophisticated and realistic.
I think the movements can still be improved but I think that this GIF is a lot better than the previous one.
I also experimented with some new puns that could be used in the GIFs.
As my work has to be a campaign I think that creating three final GIFs would be a good idea. So far my favourite GIFs are the fancy a bite? GIF, the don’t be a sucker GIF and one of my newer ideas, do something fangtastic which I haven’t made into a GIF yet.
I then improved the animation for the don’t be a sucker GIF. There are some things I would like to improve about the movement still but I think it has improved.
The development of one of my initial ideas, making some rough GIFs of some of my ideas.
I decided to experiment more with the idea of making an animation or a series of GIFs for the creative conscience brief.
I started by doing some quick storyboards of some ideas that could be turned into GIFs. The idea was for them to be simple and to convince people to give blood or just to get them thinking about it. I wanted to use the vampire character as I thought it would be a fun and quirky way of getting the information across.
I then did a couple of short story boards for an idea similar to the vampire one but using Frankenstein to teach about organ donation. I only did a couple of these as I realised that this could be an insensitive way of talking about organ donation and could be seen as offensive to people.
I then did some quick sketches using my tablet of what the vampire looks like, I then used these sketches to make images that could be used to make some rough GIFs of the story board ideas.
I also drew the vampire using a brush ink pen and watercolours, however I don’t think this version looked as good as the digital one as the colours weren’t very bright and it didn’t stand out as much.
I then used these images to make a few rough GIFs, I say these are roughs as I made them mainly to refresh myself on making GIFs and to see how my ideas could potentially work.
I think that these GIFs work quite well, they are short and simple and they explain a bit about blood donation and what your donation can do. To improve them I will experiment with different backgrounds and font for the text. I will also experiment with how the vampire moves as its quite clunky at the moment but I think that this adds charm and humour to the GIFs. I could also try using these GIFs to make a longer animation that incorporates sound as I think this will make the GIFs more effective at capturing peoples attention.
Some research into existing charities and campaigns that raise awareness about organ donation and giving blood for a new project.
For this Creative Conscience project I hope to create an animation or interactive booklet that communicates with people about why they should give blood or register to donate their organs and hopefully get people to sign up for blood and organ donation. I chose this topic as blood donations are essential in order to treat people with serious health problems / issues. A single donation can be used to treat cancer patients, newborn babies, people who have been in serious accidents and people who need open heart surgery. In order to treat these people over 450 donations of blood are needed each day. Organ donations are as equally important, they can save lives and greatly improve the quality of life for many people. Out of the patients waiting for a lung transplant in the last 10 years over a quarter died whilst they were waiting.
I started this project by looking at existing charities that all ready do this and the campaigns that they use to do it.
The first charity that I looked at was The Welsh Blood Service. Most of their campaigns are about sharing peoples story’s whose lives have been saved by blood donations. Their most recent campaign is titled The Chilled Out Way To Save a Life, it focuses on getting young people to join the Welsh Bone Marrow Doner Registry. The idea of the campaign is to share images of dangerous, life-threatening ways to save a life in order to highlight how easy and safe it is to join the bone marrow registry. The campaign highlights the slim chances of finding a life saving match and this is why they need more donors, to increase these chances. This campaign is quite fun and silly which is more the sort of thing that I would like to do however I don’t think that the images really convey the importance of donating and it doesn’t explain why you should. I think that the focus on how easy it is to save someone’s life by joining the bone marrow registry is possibly the wrong way to go about it as it doesn’t really educate the audience on why they should.
I also looked at the campaigns used by the NHS to get people to donate blood. One campaign called the Missing Type Campaign got well known companies to remove the letters A,O and B from their adverts on the web, social media and in print. The aim of this campaign was to highlight the need for new donors. I think that this campaign was effective as it captured people’s attention because many companies took part and at first didn’t explain why they had removed these letters which created some suspense and made people curious. However though I don’t think that it was the most effective way to get people to donate their blood as it didn’t explain anything about the process which can be seen as scary, or explain anything about the reasons why their donations are needed. However I think that it worked well to get peoples attention.
The NHS also created another campaign, Bleed for England, which used rugby players to encourage people to give blood. The campaign ran alongside the Rugby World Cup, they described the campaign as a ‘rallying cry’. This campaign was effective as it encouraged 101,295 people to sign up to become a blood donor. I think that these posters communicate the need for people to register quite well but again they don’t explain anything and they aren’t really emotive considering that donating blood saves lives. I also think that the colours used are very typical and the images aren’t especially eye catching and they could easily be overlooked in public when competing with other posters.
The NHS’s most recent campaign called Make a Date to Donate uses celebrities to give an insight into the donation process and what happens when you go to give blood. It also touches on the reasons why these people chose to donate their blood.
I think this video works well to communicate how easy giving blood is and how anyone can do it. I also think it’s good having an insight into why others choose to do it and that after doing it for the first time they will continue to do it. I also think that this video is aimed towards younger people which seems to be the focus of most of the campaigns as they need new donors that will continue donating for as long as they are able. I think that the campaigns that are more fun and less serious are the most effective and I think that is something that I would like to explore in this project.
I want my project’s call to action to be to get more people to be blood donors and to sign up for organ donation but I also want to educate people on why they should give blood and how easy the process is as I think that this will help to get more people to register and donate.

Borussia Dortmund may have beaten Newcastle on Wednesday night, but a North Tyneside traffic warden has carried out a (very small) act of revenge by issuing the team bus with a parking fine.
The German club will need to use some of their prize money from their 1-0 win against the Magpies to shell out on the £50 PCN issued at Grand Parade in Tynemouth on Thursday afternoon - though that will be reduced to £25 if paid within 14 days. Josh Valks, an engineer and Newcastle fan who was working near where the bus was parked, uploaded a video to Facebook of the bus being slapped with the fine.
Josh told ChronicleLive that he chatted to the Borussia Dortmund coaches as the players remained on the bus, before they went to get food. He said: "I asked them if they'd brought the team to help me dig a hole.

"They were laughing and they couldn't understand what I was saying, so I slowed my Geordie down a bit and then they could understand. We talked about the game and they said Newcastle had played excellent."
After the conversation, Josh says that the bus was left parked on Grand Parade and people took pictures of the yellow and black coach. At around 2.30pm, the traffic warden arrived.
Josh continued: "I couldn't believe it, I asked him if he knew who the bus belonged to but he said he didn't follow football, and the bus shouldn't have been parked there and he put the ticket straight on the window."
North Tyneside Council confirmed it has issued the Dortmund team bus with a fine. In a statement, the local authority said: "Our Civil Enforcement Officers are obliged to issue a ticket when a vehicle is parked in contravention to restrictions in place.
"We can confirm earlier today, a £50 ticket was given to a bus parked on Grand Parade, Tynemouth. The charge will reduce to £25 if paid within 14 days.
"If it makes it easier for our visitors, we will have a word with Eddie and the lads to see if they can collect it for us on November 7 after they get their revenge in Dortmund. We hope the ticket and the grey North East weather didn’t dampen their trip to our stunning coastline."

In this study, 130 employees working in Information Technology and a child were deprived of just 16 minutes of sleep. The result was a direct effect on their levels of cognition the next day. This snowballed into increased stress and a hampered sleep cycle as well.

Silos are now in use on farms all over the world, but that wasn't the case when McHenry County resident Fred L. Hatch left the University of Illinois in 1873 as a member of its second graduating class. Hatch (1848-1929) returned to his father's farm a half-mile east of Spring Grove and helped revolutionize the farming industry by building the first upright silo in North America.
Green feeds had been stored in Europe but always in underground pits. Hatch's silo eliminated the spoilage that occurred in the European pits because of seepage and allowed the materials to be stored and used in the winter. Half a century after Hatch's invention, there were 455,000 silos in the U.S., according to the 1920 census.

30 Quick and Easy Kids Costumes
What happened to the " good ol' days" when a Halloween costume was your Dad's old shirt and cap, and a burnt cork beard? Kids costumes don't have to complicated to be cute! Each of these quick and easy costumes starts with a few simple materials like hooded sweatshirts, sweat pants, posterboard, craft foam, felt, face paint, and a little imagination.
PirateBlack sweats, white shirt, red sash and bandanna, cardboard sword covered in foil, parrot beanie baby, stubbly face made with burnt cork or tobacco sprinkled on vaseline covered cheeks
Kid Hit By LightningGray sweats with large yellow felt zigzag pinned to the front, blackened zigzag tears in here and there on suit, hair gelled to stand straight up, burnt cork "burns" on cheeks
Wrapped PresentCover a large box with colorful wrapping paper. Make a hole in the bottom and invert over child's head. Add lots of matching ribbons in child's hair.
Pair of DicePaint two large boxes white and add black dots on each side to represent a pair of dice. Cut hole in bottom and invert over children's heads. You need a friend for this one!
Box of PopcornCover a large box with white butcher paper. Add wide red stripes with markers or colored paper. Make a hole for child's head. Hot glue some popcorn to the top of the box. Wear red or white tights or sweat pants.
Placard CostumesAnother quick and easy idea for kid costumes is a "placard costume" in which the child wears a hooded sweatshirt and pulls front and back cardboard panels (the placard) on over it. Shape the placard (poster board works fine) as needed for the costume desired, and design it with markers or felt pieces. This type of costume can be adapted to many different themes, such as:
M & M (two kids of different heights can be "plain" and "peanut"!)
Soccerball, Basketball, Baseball
Apple or Pumpkin
Deck of Cards
SunflowerYellow sweat suit. Staple craft foam flower petals end to end onto a wide ribbon and tie around child's face to make the flower. Paint the face reddish brown with black spots. Make a couple of bright green leaves from craft foam and pin side by side onto front of sweat suit.
Bunch of GrapesStart with a purple sweat suit. Blow up several purple balloons to the same size and attach to the sweat suit with small safety pins. Complete the look with a green knit cap
with a couple of large green felt leaves attached.
Bag of TrashMake two leg holes is a large sized trash bag. Have child step into the bag, then add balls of crumpled newspaper to hold a round shape. Make two armholes in each side and secure around the neck .
Little Old LadyAn old house dress with torn stockings and slippers. Curlers in the hair or white wig. Glasses, blacked out tooth, old fashioned pocketbook.
TouristHawaiian shirt or other loud clothes, camera, hat with pins all over it, maps sticking out of pockets, sunglasses.
CrayonSweat suit in the chosen color of your crayon. Design the crayon wrapper from poster board, felt pieces or craft foam and baste or pin onto the sweat suit. Add a like-colored plant pot for a hat, or use a large round of poster board, cut from edge to center and make into a pointy hat. Secure under child's chin with a wide strip of elastic stapled to the hat.

Tips for dating a younger man emiley osment dating
People try to regain their youthly spirit by enrolling in a gym membership or practicing yoga, however, the most appealing route towards the fountain of youth might just be dating a younger woman.
A woman 10 or even 5 years your junior still has the energy to dance until 2 a.m.
Of course women also desire men that are physically attractive, intelligent, and have a great sense of humor, but these traits are something that any man might possess.
The former traits set older men apart from their younger counterparts.
As nature would have it, women are naturally attracted to older men.
This innate predilection for older men has placed younger women and their older mates on a romantic crash course for centuries.
The specific type of maturation that’s referred to is manifested in cognitive and emotional areas of the brain.
But when she’s 24 and you’re 32, that age gap might present a curveball or two.
Despite the familiarity that such relationships have bred, there are still ways to improve these evolutionary sanctioned dynamics.
With time, the age gap between heterosexual partners tends to increase.
To create a seamless dynamic when dating younger women, heed the following tips.
Remember the naive early days of dating when your friends gave you what looked like sage advice to always wait a day before responding to your new flame’s message? Perhaps such words of ostensible wisdom worked years ago, but not today. Perhaps you make witty political jokes and use obscure words that she loves slotting into her lexicon.

The Department of Biological Sciences and the University of Alabama Arboretum through support from the College of Arts & Science and the Office of Academic Affairs obtained a new research greenhouse in summer 2021. The facility is located on the eastern portion of the UA Arboretum property near the community gardens. The addition of the research greenhouse provides UA scientists with much needed space to maintain plants for various projects ranging from NSF-funded work investigating the genomic changes associated with adaptation in an invasive species to flooding tolerance experiments in maize and its relatives. The 41.5’ x 90’ structure is split into three equally sized bays. These bays are closed off from each other allowing for more diversity in growing conditions through independent lighting and environmental control systems. In fall 2022, we will see the installation of irrigation systems allowing for more controlled experiments and versatility. The facility is maintained by Dr. Michael McKain and members of his laboratory.
Members of the Department of Biological Science took control of the greenhouse in July 2021. Since that time, the facility has become home to a collection of more than 500 accessions of Sorghum halepense (Johnsongrass), various species of grasses related to maize, a collection of agaves and close relatives, and multiple species propagated by the UA Arboretum staff. The greenhouse has supported the dissertations of three Ph.D. students and two master’s students in its first year of operation. The facility will allow more faculty at UA to pursue plant-based research and enable acquisition of funding that was previously difficult to obtain due to a lack of such spaces. Though this facility has already greatly improved the capacity of plant-based research at UA, we see this as the first step to developing a stronger plant research core. As more faculty are attracted to what UA can offer, we hope to see expansion to larger and diverse growth facilities that will allow for even more diverse plant research and allow UA to become a leader in plant biodiversity genomics and physiological ecology research in the South. With this goal in mind the greenhouse facility when turned over to the department was in its first phase of development, with the hopes of expansion in the future.
For those interested in using or touring the facilities or contributing to the facility’s expansion, contact Dr. Michael McKain.

Web Wizards’ Organization: Spells of Dominance in Web-Based Gaming
The rise of web-based gaming has opened a vast digital frontier, attracting millions of players worldwide. Within this realm, the Web Wizards’ Organization (WWO) has emerged as a powerful and enigmatic group, wielding a unique form of influence: spells.
Unlike traditional magic, the WWO’s spells are not fantastical conjures, but rather intricate manipulations of code and algorithms. These “spells” target the very foundation of web-based games, granting the WWO the ability to:
- Alter in-game mechanics: The WWO can subtly adjust game mechanics, such as resource acquisition rates, difficulty levels, or even character abilities. This allows them to influence the overall gameplay experience, potentially shaping the meta and even dictating the flow of competitive events.
- Manipulate virtual economies: Through coded spells, the WWO can influence the virtual economies of games berlian888, potentially affecting the value of in-game items, currencies, and resources. This influence can have significant ramifications for players, impacting their ability to acquire desired items or progress through the game.
- Sway public perception: The WWO has been known to use spells to manipulate player perception through subtle alterations of in-game data or the creation of seemingly organic trends. This can influence player opinions on specific in-game features, updates, or even other players.
The ethical implications of the WWO’s activities are a subject of much debate. While some argue that their interventions create a more dynamic and engaging gaming experience, others view them as manipulative and unfair, questioning the integrity of the games they target.
The WWO itself remains shrouded in secrecy, its membership and leadership a mystery. Their motives and ultimate goals are unknown, leaving players and developers alike to grapple with the ever-present possibility of their unseen influence in the ever-evolving landscape of web-based gaming.

Mandalas Coloring Pages For AdultsPosted in : Coloring Pages on by : Dessy
Coloring pages are already all over for lots of decades, but using the ever-evolving technological innovation that we are all so in awe of, it's the high-tech video games and toys that typically be a magnet for mother and father, even though the benefits that coloring pages should provide quite younger or simply elementary age small children, are disregarded. It could be fairly valuable for folks to understand that coloring pages offer a large number of studying chances for their small children, and these classes are conveyed within a basic way that small children can grasp. And this amazing prospect is available for free of charge to you personally, as these pages might be freely printed from a amount of online sites. So now you needn't worry about the expense of the latest pricey academic gadget, while you only need to produce the ink on your printer and you may be capable of take advantage of all that coloring pages offer on your child.

Coloring within a picture will command your child's comprehensive awareness, as they focus on completing their do the job, and getting the finished solution clearly show that they have completed their most effective. This can be a welcome support for folks who battle to offer their small children with activities that will captivate their awareness, only to discover that their minor minds and bodies get started wandering just after merely a limited time. In order a mother or father, you achieve a short respite as your child operates on their coloring page, your child will get to be involved in an enjoyable exercise that teaches them likewise. Which leads me towards the following position.
Coloring pages can offer enrichment by providing images of figures, letters, animals, and terms, to ensure that your child will develop their expertise within a amount of regions. Your son or daughter will get the best academic benefit when the coloring pages provide all of these things alongside one another, this sort of as when you will find a picture of an animal with it is identify composed around the page, or when figures are demonstrated using the identify from the amount composed out, or simply a two-sided coloring page with a single facet displaying the letter, amount or term, and also the other facet from the page depicting an animal whose shape resembles the letter or amount around the previous page. Get for example a coloring page which has a amount a single, along which has a giraffe that may be harking back to a amount a single in it is shape. Your son or daughter will not likely have only fun coloring the amount and animal, but their lesson will likely consist of composing the amount a single and currently being launched into a giraffe.
We've nonetheless to discuss the benefit that your child might be studying with regards to the different hues as they colour their pages. As well as much more publicity your child has to coloring, the greater they'll discover with regards to the common hues of objects, and so they will start to choose specific hues for specific products, this sort of as crimson apples, or green leaves. And, as they get older, you can also start to see that they will colour animals the color that they really are. This may seem to be noticeable to any individual who's got regarded their hues considering the fact that they could keep in mind, but you needed to discover it at some point which is a fantastic way on your child to find out theirs.
One more advantage of coloring pages is the fact that they supply your child using the chance to strengthen their hand eye coordination, as they learn to colour while in the strains. This ability will establish little by little as they go from having difficulties to remain inside the strains, to perfecting this good motor exercise.
The last benefit I might want to explore, truly is made up of two pros. Coloring permits your child's creativity to blossom, but it really also supplies insight into a child's emotions, and infrequently child psychologists will use this instrument to learn more a few child's emotions or state of mind at a unique time. That is yet another fantastic benefit of coloring for kids, it could allow you to recognize how specifically your child feels at any supplied time.
Armed using this new information and facts, will not you feel that providing your child using these powerful studying resources is one area that you need to do? Coloring pages provide a great way to blend studying and enjoyment on your child.

A woman escaped a house fire Friday, June 5, east of Custer, but her home was destroyed.
The middle-aged woman fled the single-story home around 11:40 a.m. as smoke started to billow from 7592 Woodland Road. A dark pillar of smoke could be seen six miles due south in Ferndale, and from downtown Lynden, about eight miles to the northeast, when Lynden Assistant Fire Chief Robert Spinner left the fire station on Fourth Street.
The flames had been blazing for at least 10 minutes by the time Spinner, in the first arriving engine, reached the scene. Firefighters found the woman unharmed, waiting at the end of a 400-foot driveway. She told them no one else was inside.
Spinner found the attached one-car garage already burned down to its frame, and intense flames shooting skyward through the roof of the house. The roof collapsed as Spinner started walking around the building. For the next hour or so firefighters — from Lynden, North Whatcom Fire and Rescue, and District 7 — fought the flames but could not save much.
Everything burned. Blackened photo frames hung off-kilter on the walls, and threads of electrical wiring drooped from the charred studs. Warped and mangled deck chair frames littered what was left of the front porch, while firefighters slowly but surely beat down the smoldering flames, for another hour or so, with water from a small fleet of tender trucks parked on the lawn.
A propane tank around back did not explode, though firefighters feared it might, until things got under control. A pump house on the west side, by a 75-by-100-foot orchard, was saved, too.
The house had a value of about $96,000, according to assessor’s records. It was built in the early 1980s.
Early on Mitch Nolze, from the county fire marshal’s office, said witness accounts led him to think the garage could be the fire’s point of origin, but he hadn’t had a chance to survey the damage up close yet. The cause remains under investigation.

With attention focussed on the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere by coal fired power stations, coal mining companies are desperate to find ways of maintaining the viability of the industry in the era of CO2 induced climate change and carbon trading.
One method being considered is to use CO2 Geo-Sequestration, sometimes known as "Carbon Capture." It is one of a number of "Clean Coal" technologies that reduce CO2 emissions.
The concept's simple enough. Just capture the C02 after the coal's burnt, cool and compress it, then push it down the nearest convenient hole in the ground, where it will forever remain out of sight and out of mind. Sounds easy, but there are a number of difficult technical hurdles.
For a start, there's a lot of CO2 produced. The power stations in New South Wales burn millions of tons of coal a year. The weight of CO2 produced is 3.7 times the weight of the carbon in the coal. That's a hell of a lot of material to be safely disposed of.
Next, it's not that easy to separate the CO2 from the flue gas of a conventional power station. A lot of it is nitrogen plus other gasses which are largely inert in the combustion process, and you don't want to be adding those to the already large amount of CO2 you're trying to get rid of. For that reason, carbon capture may not be the 'bolt on solution' for conventional power stations that everyone hoped. It may mean building completely new plants that burn coal in pure oxygen, negating the need to separate the flue gasses, but markedly increasing the capital cost of the process.
And lastly, sites that can safely store the material are not readily available. Certain geological structures are required, and they're not always were the coal is burnt. If not close, the energy required to compress and transport the the CO2 to suitable sites will further increase the costs.
Despite the problems, Carbon Capture (along with nuclear energy) has been the darling of conservative governments. Until now.
THE [Australian] Government is facing a tough decision over whether to continue funding the world's leading clean coal experiment after the Bush Administration ended its commitment to the $US1.8 billion ($2 billion) project, citing massive budget blow-outs.
The US move is a grave setback for the Australian coal industry's hopes that a commercially-viable clean coal plant would be built in the foreseeable future. The US-led FutureGen project was embraced by the Howard government which pledged $15 million to it shortly before last year's election.
This is a surprising development considering that the current US administration is sympathetic to the fossil fuel industry. Not to be outdone, the former Australian government supported Carbon Capture at the expense of other environmentally friendly energy solutions.
Hopefully, this development marks the end to governments trying to pick green energy technology winners. If makes more sense for all technologies to be in the mix and receive equal opportunity to receive government research funding.
Who knows? Carbon capture may be a viable green technology, but it needs to be evaluated on an equal footing with all other technologies, whether they be nuclear or windmills.

The YWCA Evanston/North Shore has received a 2013 Make a Splash grant for $4,000 from the USA Swimming Foundation, one of just 40 swim programs in the country to receive such a grant.
“We are gratified to be recognized in this way,” said Karen Singer, President and CEO of the YWCA Evanston/North Shore. “We strongly believe every child should learn to swim, and it has always been our commitment to provide swim instruction for every child in our lakefront community.”
“This grant helps offset some of the costs of providing space and professional instruction to the many children whose families cannot afford the cost of lessons,” added Pete Caragher, Director of Flying Fish Aquatics. “The needs of our community are great and we are far from meeting them, but the grant is intended to provide seed funds for programs like ours to become self-sustaining.”
As Harriett Navarre, Make A Splash Program Coordinator, noted, “we believe that the program you have built is, or has the potential to be, strong enough to be successful in soliciting funds and sponsorships from local organizations that are committed to having your program live on in their community.”
Make A Splash is the national child-focused water safety initiative of the USA Swimming Foundation which aligns the nation’s top learn-to-swim resources in an effort to raise awareness of water safety and provide opportunities for all children to learn to swim. The YWCA was named a local partner in 2009 for their efforts to reach out to local community groups and schools to ensure that all children have access to swimming lessons.
“We appreciate all that (the YWCA) is doing in their community to promote water safety and the importance of learning to swim,” continued Navarre, “and we believe that (your) program will make an impact in your community and will save lives.”


I took delivery of my snappy new and way cool Dell Alienware M11x R3 laptop last Thursday, August 4, but it wasn’t until this afternoon (August 9) that I finished a key step in making best use of this machine. I finally got my WiMAX account turned on with wireless service provider Clear. Although the instructions aren’t terribly clear in the emails and Web site information about turning on and using my WiMAX interface, all I had to do was hear these words from the very nice tech support guy who called me and said “Do a new account sign-up with Clear” to know exactly what to do.
Turns out that even though Dell pre-qualifies you for an account and takes your credit card information for wireless service, you must still sign up as a brand-new account with the provider anyway. I had thought — entirely incorrectly, as it turns out — that this path to WiMAX nirvana was not for me, because I figured Dell would pass all that information to Clear who would then set up an account for me. Wrong! I started wondering if this might not be the case when I called Clear to inquire about my account yesterday and learned that they didn’t yet have an account for me, after searching on my name, my primary phone number, and my WiMAX device MAC address. This was confirmed when the Dell support tech who helped me (a very nice man named Dwayne W.) told me that Dell doesn’t actually communicate with the provider and I just needed to go through new account setup.
Turns out nothing could be easier and I even created a step-by-step set of instructions for doing that very thing:
- You must complete the activation task for which you’ll get an email informing you that activation is necessary. For me the sender address was firstname.lastname@example.org and the title of the message was Dell Global Mobile Activation Portal
- When you receive an e-mail entitled Processing Activation, it will include a reference number for that task, that you can use to check your order status. Mine never changed from a status value of ACTIVATION_PENDING even after my account was activated.
- Once you get this message, you should contact your provider to sign up for a new service account. Tell them you purchased a Dell computer with a built-in WiMax
interface and would like to set up and activate your access. I got the service phone number from the home page at www.clear.com in my case (YMMV depending on your local provider).
- The vendor will ask for your WiMax MAC (Media Access Control) address. Here’s how you retrieve this information
- Open the Intel PROSet Wireless WiMAX Connection Utility (available in Control Panel; if using a non-Intel device use whatever Control Panel widget comes up for managing its setup and configuration)
- Click Options, then click Advanced in the resulting pull-down menu
- On the Adapter tab the third field is labeled MAC address: write down that sequence of 6 pairs of hexadecimal digits
- The vendor will then take you through account sign up and registration details (name, address, payment method, billing info, online account access, and so forth). Be sure to ask for a tech support phone number in case some problem prevents successful activation of your account.
- Wait 5 minutes after the set-up call completes: you should have a working WiMAX Internet connection. I did, and mine works just fine. Hopefully, you will have the same experience—but if not, use that customer support number to call the wireless service provider to get things straightened out.
Not at all as difficult as I apparently wanted it to be: for me, the whole process took less than 10 minutes and the Clear sales/support tech who helped me (Lupe) was extremely helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. If only it was that easy to get things done with my other ISP: Time Warner!

Do you know most celebrities swear by a version of the bullet coffee which has ghee in it? The ghee coffee mainly helps in dealing with the leaky gut syndrome which may let toxins into your bloodstream. Let's find out about the benefits of ghee coffee.
Your choice of morning elixir has the potential to boost your fitness goals for the day and bolster your wellness journey. While ginger shots, apple cider vinegar, a glass of hot lemon water, coconut water and green tea, all have their takers, Bollywood’s leading ladies swear by something unique. Kriti Sanon, Aditi Rao Hydari, Rakul Preet Singh, Jacqueline Fernandez and a host of A-listers drink ghee coffee first thing in the morning.
Kriti Sanon, for instance, likes her morning black coffee with a spoonful of ghee whereas, Rakul Preet usually blends in her mildly roasted coffee with organic ghee and collagen and travels with the ingredients wherever she goes. Ghee coffee is a version of the popular bullet coffee which is widely consumed across the globe and has many benefits, and one of them is the most significant.
Regular bulletproof coffee is made with coffee, butter and MCT oil; in ghee coffee, ghee is the source of MCT, which is an abbreviation of medium-chain triglyceride, an element that has been shown to promote weight loss. But the reason it’s the first thing celebrities and most fitness experts choose to drink it the first thing in the morning is because it prevents intestinal permeability, also known as a leaky gut syndrome. This refers to an unhealthy gut lining that may have large cracks or pores weakening your intestinal walls and letting toxins into your bloodstream.
These leakages cause inflammation and may also lead to Type 1 diabetes. The MCTs help promote a healthy balance of bacteria in your gut. Its antimicrobial properties can reduce the amount of bad, pathogenic bacteria in your gut, so the good bacteria can flourish.
Improved Nutrient Absorption
The presence of healthy fats in ghee can enhance the bioavailability of fat-soluble vitamins present in coffee, such as vitamin E and vitamin K. These vitamins play crucial roles in supporting immune function, promoting cardiovascular health, and maintaining healthy skin. By incorporating ghee into your coffee, you can maximize the absorption of these essential nutrients, ensuring that your body reaps the full benefits of your morning brew.
Ghee contains potent antioxidants like conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and vitamin E, which help combat oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. By reducing inflammation, ghee-infused coffee may offer protection against chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory properties of ghee can support joint health and alleviate symptoms of arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.


How will unscheduled downtime impact your business?
Robots don't break often, but when they do repairs on one you own can take days or weeks while parts are on order. While the robot is down, so is the line. If your business can’t meet deadlines because of installation delays and unscheduled downtime, your brand reputation may take a hit along with your bottom line. And don’t forget: if you own the robot, you’re also on the hook to pay for replacement parts.
RaaS providers are incentivized to quickly respond to issues. At Rapid, we monitor our equipment remotely and can often resolve issues without the need for an onsite visit. We’re available 24/7 for support, and when an onsite repair is required, our engineers arrive within 24 hours and can usually handle all repairs within one shift.
If something is really broken, we won't wait for parts. We'll just swap out the robot for a new one, so that your facility can keep working. It should go without saying at this point, but this comprehensive service is all covered by the same monthly operating cost.
Have you added in yearly service and maintenance costs?
Don’t forget about costs associated with service and scheduled maintenance. If you own the robots in your facility, you have two choices:
Hire staff to program, maintain, and repair your robots.
Pay a third-party service provider to handle maintenance and repair.
For many manufacturers, hiring in-house robotic engineers is impractical or impossible. At a time when it’s hard enough to recruit and retain enough operators to keep your factory running at full capacity, hiring specialized engineering staff is even more challenging. In most parts of the country, robotics engineers make over $100,000 annually.
Depending on the complexity of the implementation, the annual cost per robot for a third party maintenance contract ranges from $12,000 to $30,000.
Service is included in a RaaS subscription from Rapid Robotics. When we say service, we mean it. Service includes everything from software upgrades to scheduled maintenance, to parts. There’s no waiting for parts, either – if a robot breaks, we’ll just replace it and repair the broken one on our own time.
How are you calculating depreciation?
The average operating life of a cobot is about 35,000 hours, or less than 6 years at full utilization. Once the robot reaches its end of life, you need to purchase a new one and pay for a new integration.
Rapid Robotics ensures that each RMO operates at peak performance for the length of the deployment and will replace it if performance degrades. All at no additional cost to you.
Now is the time for a RaaS automation solution

Measuring domestic and unpaid care work: Recognising women’s total contribution to work and economies
In the Caribbean and around the world more people are at home due to the impacts of COVID-19 lockdowns and/or the subsequent unemployment, as a result care work responsibility in the home has multiplied. In the absence of measurement, women’s total contribution to social and economic development is not being captured.
UN Women today announced the appointment of American award-winning actor Anne Hathaway as global Goodwill Ambassador. A long-standing supporter of women’s and girls’ rights, Ms. Hathaway will put the spotlight on the issue of the unequal burden of care work in the home as one of the key barriers to gender equality, working internationally to advance the adoption and implementation of policies that will bring measurable change. These include affordable childcare services and shared parental leave at both government and corporate levels.
A hundred years ago today, women across the world took an historic step on the long road to equality. The first ever International Women’s Day was called to draw attention to the unacceptable and often dangerous working conditions that so many women faced worldwide.
