Roger McBride (born December 14, 1968), better known by his stage name King T (formerly known as King Tee), is an American West Coast Hip hop rapper from Compton, California. Emerging as one of Compton's earliest hip hop artists, he was signed to Capitol Records, where he released his debut album Act a Fool in 1988 with the hit singles "Act a Fool," "Payback's A Mutha," "The Coolest," and "Bass” [Remix], all of which were considered hip-hop classics. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, he worked primarily with producer DJ Pooh, and was responsible for the rise of Tha Alkaholiks, whom he helped guide into the rap game. King T is also the CEO of his own record label, King T Inc.

Compton, California, US
Early life and careerEdit
Roger McBride was born in Compton, California on December 14, 1968 and has attended high school. He had been around the Los Angeles hip-hop scene for many years alongside Ice-T and Kid Frost and is widely considered a pioneer in the genre. In 1988, he made his debut with Act a Fool, which is considered a classic of West Coast hip-hop.
During his time with Capitol, T began mentoring a young trio of rappers called Tha Alkaholiks, consisting of Tash, J-Ro and E-Swift. He also helped mentor their loosely affiliated collective, the Likwit Crew. The Likwit Crew also includes others, such as Xzibit, who would later rise to fame and bring King T into the orbit of Compton producer Dr. Dre. Tha Alkaholiks put out their debut album 21 & Over under King T's guidance on Loud Records in 1993.
The Notorious B.I.G. influenceEdit
T greatly influenced The Notorious B.I.G. with his deep voice, flow and rhyme style, which Biggie would at times imitate on his 1994 album Ready to Die. Tee later paid homage to Biggie on the track "6 In'a Moe'nin" on his album The Kingdom Come, using a similar setup to and vocal samples of Biggie's track “Somebody Gotta Die". In 2010, Ice-T confirmed in an interview that King T was one of Biggie's favorite rappers.
After 1993's Tha Triflin' Album, on which T worked with Marley Marl, he left Capitol for MCA and put out IV Life in 1994. After leaving MCA as well, he built with Dr. Dre and ended up signing to the producer's label, Aftermath Entertainment. However, T only released three songs while on the label: "Str8 Gone" and "Fame”, which appeared on Dr. Dre Presents the Aftermath, and "Some L.A. Niggaz", which appeared on 2001. The two began working on King T's Aftermath album, but the project was subject to repeated push-backs. Eventually, King T requested a release from the label.
Work with Ant BanksEdit
King T has also worked extensively with Oakland rapper and producer Ant Banks. He first appeared on Banks' 1997 compilation Big Thangs, on the song "West Riden". In 2000 he was featured on Lead the Way, an album by Banks' supergroup T.W.D.Y., on the song "No Win Situation".
San Andreas: The Original MixtapeEdit
San Andreas: The Original Mixtape is the debut album by American West Coast rapper Young Maylay, released July 5, 2005. King T co-wrote and produced most of the songs on the album. He made appearances and some productions on songs "Liq Hittaz", "That’s Real", “Inna Ghetto", “Boss Up Freestyle", “Twist A Corner", “Salute'n G'z", and "Speak On It". The album was released by Maylay's record label, Maylaynium Musiq.
In 2002, King T independently released his Aftermath album, The Kingdom Come, produced by Dr. Dre and DJ Battlecat. He also released The Ruthless Chronicles in 2004, which had songwriting by T's protégé Young Maylay and featured some of the songs heard on The Kingdom Come, as well as others produced by DJ Quik. King T also guested on DJ Muggs' Soul Assassins II album.
King T was mentioned on Nas' song “Where Are They Now?" in 2006, and in 2007 appeared on the song's West Coast remix, along with Kam, Ice-T, Candyman, Threat, and The Conscious Daughters, MC Breeze of LA Posse, and the Seattle-based artist Sir Mix-A-Lot. After this appearance, King T put out a mixtape called Boss Up, Vol. 1 with music by Snoop Dogg, The Game, J-Ro, and several other West Coast artists. In 2006, he made a guest appearance on the song "Poppin' Off" from Xzibit's album Full Circle. He has also started his own label, though no artists are yet signed to it.
A remix of King T's song "Money" appeared on Dr. Dre's son Hood Surgeon's The Autopsy Mixtape. The song was renamed "Fast Money" and features King T and Dr. Dre. The original song was on The Kingdom Come.
His daughter, Heaven, died at the age of 16 after a car accident on May 19, 2009.
King T is currently signed to Table Records Music Distribution.
In early 2013, King T announced he wants to record his final album. He stated that working on Xzibit's song "Louis XIII" motivated him to record his last album.
King Tee (later known as King T), one of the West Coast's pioneering rappers, released a few major-label albums in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Though the Compton rapper enjoyed little commercial success, he is often cited[by whom?] as an influence upon the gangsta rappers of the early to mid-1990s. He notably collaborated with a pair of premier West Coast rap producers, DJ Pooh and E-Swift, who were largely unknown at the time. In later years, King T resurfaced from time to time; for instance, he was featured on Dr. Dre's as 2001 and released some independent albums of his own, including The Kingdom Come.

Homes in Greater Hartford sold faster this August than they have in more than three years, a report released Wednesday shows — a sign that the area's housing recovery is gathering momentum.
In the 57-town area tracked by the Greater Hartford Association of Realtors, the average number of days a single-family house sold in August had been on the market was 58. In August 2012, the average was 80 days, a difference of nearly 30 percent.
According to association statistics, the area has not seen this level of days-on-the-market since June 2010. Home sales early in 2010 were boosted by a first-time home buyer tax credit aimed at stimulating home sales nationally.
"It appears that housing inventory is really beginning to move in the Greater Hartford market," said Jeff Arakelian, the association's chief executive and president. "Because our region was slow to enter the housing slump, it makes sense that our recovery is also moving at a slower pace."
In August, closed sales rose nearly 13 percent, compared with the same month a year ago. The median sale price — the point at which half the sale prices were above, half below — rose less than 1 percent in August, to $235,000, from $234,500 a year ago, the association reported.
The inventory of single-family houses on the market rose slightly, by 2 percent, to 6,718 properties. Based on sales in August, the area has little more than six months supply of houses on the market. The market is said to be in equilibrium at six months supply, favoring neither buyer nor seller.

Food Plating And Presentation Suggestions
When it comes to culinary artistry, the way a dish is presented can be just as significant as how it tastes. They say we eat with our eyes first.
The artistic procedures of food plating and presentation turn a basic meal into an aesthetically pleasing and mouth-watering masterpiece.
Mastering the art of food plating can take your culinary creations to new heights, whether you’re a home cook seeking to impress your guests or an aspiring chef looking to hone your talents.
Food is not only the important stargazing factor, but its plating plays an important role too. The way food is presented on a plate can enhance its visual appeal, stimulate the appetite, and even elevate the perceived taste.
Chefs and culinary professionals understand the importance of thoughtful plating techniques to create visually stunning dishes that captivate diners.
Celebrity chef and founder of Palate Culinary Academy, Rakhee Vaswani, author and consultant celebrity chef Ananya Banerjee give six food plating and presentation suggestions that will help you take your culinary creations to the next level.
Choosing the right plate: In food plating and presentation, choosing the appropriate dish is crucial to improving the whole eating experience. Your culinary masterpiece is shown on the dish as a canvas. The dish’s visual appeal might be enhanced or diminished depending on its color, shape, and size. To attain the proper composition and balance, various dishes call for different plate styles. How the components of the meal are organized and divided depends on the size and shape of the plate.
The star components of your cuisine might be better emphasized with the right platter. A textured or patterned plate can offer visual interest without detracting from the major pieces, as opposed to a plain white plate, which allows brilliant colors and detailed details to stand out.
Balance and Composition: Balance and composition are fundamental elements in food plating and presentation, contributing to the overall visual appeal and aesthetic harmony of a dish. It produces a visually appealing appearance that grabs guests’ attention right away. You can ensure that the varied flavors and textures are evenly distributed around the plate by attaining balance and composition.
Effective harmony and composition highlight the dish’s star ingredients or focal points. You may direct the diner’s attention and highlight the star elements by placing the important items in strategic locations, which will result in a visually compelling presentation.
The placement of the components on the plate should convey a sense of movement and flow, leading the eye from one piece to the next. As diners explore the many flavors and textures on the plate, this visual journey makes the dining experience more engaging and interesting.
Attention to detail: Attention to detail is of utmost importance in food plating and presentation as it elevates the overall dining experience and showcases your professionalism and commitment to excellence. Every component on the plate is expertly arranged when even the slightest details are paid attention to, which improves the dish’s aesthetic attractiveness. It indicates your commitment to making an enticing presentation that is aesthetically stunning.
Your culinary product exudes quality and precision when you pay attention to the little things. You show your dedication to delivering a superior dining experience by meticulously arranging each ingredient, garnish, and sauce. Your culinary identity and brand are cultivated by paying attention to detail consistently throughout all your plating endeavors. It creates a distinctive look and guarantees that each dish you serve adheres to a strict aesthetic and quality standard.
Utensil Placement: Utensil placement is an often overlooked yet essential aspect of food plating and presentation. Utensils that are arranged properly add to the plate’s overall visual harmony. The diner’s comfort and practicality should come first when placing the utensils. The diner will be able to easily switch between different components of the dish if the utensils are placed in a convenient location and within easy reach.
Keep in mind that utensil placement may change depending on the cuisine served, the setting, and individual preferences. To achieve a polished and aesthetically acceptable presentation, it is important to establish a balance between aesthetics, practicality, and cultural factors.
Layers & Heights: Using layers and heights in food plating and presentation is a powerful technique that adds dimension, visual interest, and sophistication to a dish. The use of layers and heights enables cooks to express their artistic flair and originality. It gives you the chance to try out various plating methods, set-ups, and presentations, turning the dish into a gourmet masterpiece.
To generate visual contrast on the plate, several pieces are layered with contrasting colors, textures, and shapes. Contrasting layers give the meal interest and excitement while also adding to its visual appeal.
Use Edible Garnishes: Using edible garnishes in food plating and presentation adds a touch of artistry and enhances the overall dining experience. Edible garnishes offer the chance to enhance a dish’s bright colors, textures, and visual appeal. They can improve the plate’s presentation, making it appear more alluring and delicious. In addition to adding to the aesthetic appeal of a dish, garnishes can also improve its overall flavor profile.
A burst of freshness and aromatic notes can be added with fresh herbs, microgreens, or edible flowers. The possibility to add contrast and balance to the dish is provided by garnishes. By introducing various colors, shapes, and textures, they can provide a contrast to the primary elements.
For instance, delicate, vibrant green herbs can be used to contrast with hearty, earthy proteins, or red chili flakes can be used to provide a splash of color to a creamy white sauce.
The significance of meal presentation and plating cannot be emphasized. Food can stimulate our senses and produce life-changing experiences in addition to merely sustaining our bodies. A basic meal may be turned into a piece of art that satisfies the senses and provides amazing culinary experiences by paying attention to every detail, from the arrangement of components to the choice of colors and textures.

Regardless of your industry, managing revenue is essential for your business to have a steady cash flow to pay for outgoing expenses. Revenue cycle management (RCM) plays a vital role, especially for hospitals and small-to-medium practices, due to the complicated billing and revenue collection process. RCM can make your practice’s success possible and help you stay competitive if implemented correctly.
What Is RCM?
Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) is the process of handling billing, payment processing and revenue collection. It is a continuous process that starts when you bill a patient against the provided care services and ends with the reimbursement. It is instantaneous in some industries, such as retail stores. However, in the healthcare sector, it is a complex technique.
Healthcare RCM comprises tools and procedures ensuring the revenue cycle proceeds swiftly and brings in the maximum revenue you are legally entitled to in due time. With the help of effective RCM implementation, your practice can have a reliable revenue foundation in cash.
How Does RCM Fit into the Healthcare Industry?
The implementation of effective RCM strategies is critical for the lasting success of hospitals and clinical practices of all sizes. In any healthcare organization, the revenue cycle consists of the following major steps:
Step 1: Claim Preparation
The process starts with collecting patient information required to bill for the services. It generally happens before the first appointment, or in the case of anesthesia providers, data collection is done on the day of surgery. During this stage, clinical staff also verifies the patient’s insurance eligibility.
Step 2: Claim Submission
Once the services are rendered, the claim is created, charges are coded and entered, and the claim is submitted to the relevant insurance company for reimbursement.
Step 3: Claim Management
To keep the financial health in check, the billing team needs to manage claims proactively. It involves following up with the insurance companies to ensure payments are received on time. Additionally, it also includes claim editing and resubmission of rejected claims.
Step 4: Receivables Collection
This step is about the collection of payments and issuing statements, and sending the bill if necessary. It includes processed records of patient revenues that are filed and maintained using the RCM software to provide customized reports, including financial data and management of information for future references.
Step 5: Analysis and Evaluation
Optimizing is not a one-time thing. It requires continuous improvement to increase the overall profitability of the practice. Hence, the final step involves collecting and analyzing data from the RCM software to identify the speed breakers.
RCM systems in healthcare can reduce the error frequency, enhance the likelihood of payments, and avoid aging account receivables. Furthermore, it increases claims efficiency while reconciling costs against revenues.
Why Is Healthcare RCM Important?
Since the process from initial service delivery to full payment is complex, it often results in a delay between the care provision and the reimbursements. The worst-case scenario can lead to confusion, mistakes during coding and billing procedures and unnecessary back-and-forth.
Thus, implementing effective RCM is essential for all healthcare facilities. Even though every hospital has an RCM process in practice, they need to evaluate its performance and ask themselves if the system is thoughtful, well-implemented and takes the nuances of different specialties into account or not.
Moreover, the entire revenue cycle involves a considerable amount of patient information which can lead to substantial legal and financial consequences in case of errors. Therefore, practices must strive to implement an effective RCM to mitigate the severity of mistakes during the billing.
RCM and Transition to Value-Based Care
RCM implementation is also crucial because it ultimately assists the fraternity of physicians in smoothly transitioning from fee-for-service to value-based reimbursements. The analytics let providers and payers get an insightful look at the patient population. For example, data helps you understand which segment is more prone to suffer from chronic diseases and allows providers to monitor any abnormalities in claims so that data-driven decisions are made to improve the revenue cycle and patient journey.
For any practice or hospital, effective RCM can be a game changer. It will help the organization reduce the account receivable time, so you have enough incoming cash to keep it running and stay competitive in the space. However, setting up an in-house department for revenue cycle optimization is tricky and expensive. Hence, it is recommended to outsource it, especially for medium-to-small clinical practices.

In 2013 we commissioned four texts on third-level art education in Dublin. These essays were published in the supplement section of the PVA Dublin Edition of that year. In 2015 in response to some major upheavals at management level at the National College of Art and Design (NCAD) we published three further texts on education on our website.
These texts point to an interest we have in art education in Ireland, an interest triggered by the publication of the revelatory Review of the Provision of Creative Arts Programmes in Dublin, by the Higher Education Authority (HEA) in early February 2013.
The three texts from 2015 are below. We will make the three remaining texts from 2013 available in the near future.

Greek VIP charter operator and management company GainJet is basing a new medevac operation at London Stansted, using a Bombardier Challenger 604 registered under its Irish subsidiary’s air operator’s certificate.
The aircraft is configured as an air ambulance and can also accommodate up to six family members, as well as medical staff. It will be based, with its crew, at the airport’s Inflite Jet Centre fixed base operation.
“Our mission is to provide a reliable medevac service based in London that is readily available to serve the European market. We’ve been working non-stop over the past six months establishing this operation, training the dedicated staff, and putting everything in place to ensure we can provide a smooth medevac service.” says GainJet Ireland chief executive Capt Dimitrios Kehayas.
GainJet also has a medevac operation in Kuwait operating with another Challenger 604. GainJet chief executive Capt Ramsey Shaban says the company’s strategy is to become a leader in medevac. “We noticed a lack of long range medevac aircraft in the UK and found London Stansted to be an ideal base for this operation.”
The company plans to open a third medevac base, in Kigali, Rwanda, to serve the African market, which GainJet says “does not have easy access to reliable, long-range medevac aircraft”.
GainJet also operates VIP Boeing 757 and 737, Gulfstream G650, G550 and G450 and Embraer Legacy 600 aircraft.

I’ve talked about the importance of stories and story pacing multiple times over the past year. I haven’t really mentioned the importance of character or characters in gaming.
After researching the overall review scores for Bioware games after purchase by EA, I found that “quality” didn’t necessarily go down. The review scores stay pretty high. The overall score went down by two points compared to pre-EA Bioware.
However, sometimes Bioware games just miss their mark. Mass Effect: Andromeda was the first major failure, maybe Dragon Age 2 but that series didn’t get put on hiatus after its release, unlike Mass Effect.
Another idea that makes me think EA hurt the overall quality of Bioware’s game lies in the realm of DLC. I think it’s hard to judge DLC before and during EA because DLC wasn’t really a thing until well into the 360/PS3 generation. I do think the amount of DLC per game can have an impact on the overall quality. I expect the full game when I purchase at MSRP on release.
Each Bioware game now comes with DLC. To be fair, many contemporary games offer DLC after release. But, we are talking about Bioware so I can only compare different Bioware offerings.
I’ve been without internet for about 6 weeks so I’ve been focused on playing some single player. Not a fan. I need some multiplayer action to feel complete. PUBG has been calling my name. Without internet, I’ve been focusing on Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age and Jurassic World Evolution. Neither of which has really grabbed my attention wholeheartedly.
I am bored of Final Fantasy XII and might call my 30 hours good, while wait to jump back into Jurassic World Evolution when I can get the game updated.
For now, here are my thoughts on the games so far.
TL; DR: If you aren’t a series die hard, I would just avoid both of these games.
I want to see Nintendo move away from hardware and focus entirely on software. I think that they are some of the best developers in the business and their games deserve to be played by more people. And I’m not even that much of a fan of Nintendo’s properties.
As I’ve mentioned before, I couldn’t get into Breath of the Wild and I don’t have any intention to play Mario Odyssey. But, while most major developers in the industry dilute their games with garbage microtransactions, Nintendo just makes great games.
Or as I like to call it, buying games and never playing them. It’s a horrible habit that I have. However, I feel like since I didn’t buy anything in the Steam Winter Sale that I’m making progress.
Short Post this week: I was not ready for the chaos the week presented. I should have more time next week to actually have more content prepped. I’m still brainstorming what developer I want to dive into for a deep look. I’ll likely keep that post in one section rather than it up into multiple posts. Continue reading “Gaming Backlog”
During my playtime with Wolfenstein: The Old Blood I’ve died about six thousand times on the normal difficulty. I’m fairly well versed in shooters and I don’t have problems aiming, the game seems to have a lot of trial and error. Which is fine, up to a certain point.
I’m not entirely sure how important story is for every JRPG. I definitely don’t need an amazing story with every JRPG but I’ve come to expect at least some attempt at a story with JRPGs. But, do stories matter?
Back for another Monday post.
I’m currently exploring the Frozen Wilds DLC for Horizon Zero Dawn. I played and beat the game back when it came out earlier this year and really enjoyed it. Jumping back in is proving to be a little bit odd.
No spoilers, as usual.
Here’s how I go into a review and what elements I’m judging. I’ll focus on gameplay, graphcis, sound, and story. Some elements will be more important than others in different games, but those are the most important aspects to me.

Sturton-le-Steeple: Campaigners have welcomed the news that plans for a seven turbine wind farm have been scrapped
EDF Energy Renewables has confirmed that it will not be proceeding with its bid to seek planning approval for the Maumhill wind farm, at Sturton-le-Steeple.
After ‘reviewing the scheme in the light of recent government announcements on onshore wind’, the company has informed Bassetlaw District Council that it does not intend to develop its plans for the project any further.
Bassetlaw MP John Mann said: “This is a victory for people power and common sense. The campaign against the wind farm, led by local residents, clearly demonstrated why the site was unsuitable for turbines.
“I was happy to work closely with local residents, organising public meetings and advising on how best to object to the proposals. I also met with representatives from EDF at the highest level to raise local people’s concerns and in this case the right decision has been made.”
EDF Energy Renewables’ original application for a nine turbine wind farm on the Maumhill site was refused by a planning committee in February 2013. Proposals for a revised seven turbine development were publicised last year at a series of local public exhibitions, but those plans will now not be taken any further.
Dave Langmead, clerk for North and South Wheatley, Sturton-le-Steeple and North and South Leverton Parish Council, said: “We have been fighting this one for nearly three years and it has been a real community effort.
“The main reason for our objection was that our back yard is already full, everywhere you look is going to be industrial. This was the last bit of open land.”


“Our last patent report for 2012 goes to a new patent application that was published by the US Patent office last week regarding an advanced ‘Active Stylus,'” Jack Purcher reports for Patently Apple.
“Apple’s engineers have been working on ‘reinventing’ the stylus for years now,” Purcher reports. “Even the idea that it was too easy to lose a stylus has been overcome with the advent of Apple’s work with encoded magnets that’s behind the iPad’s Smart Cover product.”
Purcher reports, “Today, the stylus is more like a crayon than a pen. Samsung’s Galaxy Note product with a stylus is a case in point. It just sucks as a pen. Apple’s latest invention introduces the ‘active stylus’ to overcome common stylus problems and names the iPhone and iPad by name as products that may be able to take advantage of the active stylus in the future.”

Good story, bad print qualityReviewed in the United States on March 19, 2014
As an avid fan of Satoko Kiyuduki's comics, I was REALLY disappointed with the printing quality for Vol. 5 of GA: Geijutsuka Art Design. Several pages had ink so light I could barely read the punch lines. Exchanged it for another copy, but the next one was even worse. If only the ink job was up to the same standard as the comic itself.

Logic, Love & Self-Limiting Beliefs
32) Who I get to be for myself and for others, is entirely up to me <68th OP>
I used to think I wanted people to get me. I wanted people to truly understand me. Honestly, I have come to learn, while that has tremendous benefits, it’s not the most essential ingredient for a loving relationship. At the very least it is not the first essential ingredient. “Listening” certainly has to come before “Understanding” can even take place.
The mind always wants to make and create logic out of everything. But, honestly we as people aren’t designed to be logical. We actually are designed to push the limits of life and redefine what it means to be human.
Josh off the Press is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
To try and apply logic to Love - would simply be way too self-limiting.
What I look for in a lover or friend or a workmate or a teammate, is someone who is willing to work through things with me. I want someone who is at times able to toss logic aside and just dance in the conversation with me. Especially those uncomfortable and confronting conversations!
Part of what makes us human, is that in the moment the statement above is so simple and so freeing and so easy. Yet, humans aren’t designed to be simple. We are complicated creatures with thoughts and ideas about the world. We have our own personal histories, and past traumas, (some of which we inherited).
I write this not because I have some grand insight on humanity. And even if I did, that insight wasn’t discovered by pure bliss and joy. Rather it was discovered by pain and loss, and sometimes conversations that escalated into conflict.
The heartbreak I have experienced isn’t some grand epiphany. Even if it is, the only way it can actually serve me is if I actually loved like my life depended on it.
And when it comes to love, all logic goes out the window.
One thing about love is: Real love is not self-limiting. Real love fosters love in everyone around you. The love I feel, the love I spread, the love I have for myself, the love I have for others, knows no limits.
I choose love not because of logic. I choose love, because my life depends on it.

|Title||Visit at Glendalough, sheepdogs and beer tasting|
|Place visited||Glendalough, Annamoe and Redcross in Wicklow|
|Nature of the activity||Presentation|
On Thursday we went to Glendalough, located in the Wicklow Mountains National Park. Glendalough has many natural attractions which entertain upwards of a million visitors every year.
Once there we saw a short movie that explained to us the history of Ireland and the story of some saints such as St.Patrick and St.Kevin.
After the short movie, a guide gave us a talk on Irish culture (language , dances and songs) and that in the fifth century St.Kevin moved to Glendalough. He was compared to St.Francis of Assisi.
She told us that the place was so important in the old days because there were no cities and the monasteries were like univeristy where you could learn latin and get the chance to communicate with the rest of the European continent.
Just before luch we had a walk by the larger Upper Lake. It was an amazing experience.
In the afternoon we went to see the sheepdogs in Annamoe, also located in the Wicklow Mountains, only minutes from Glendalough.
We watched the dogs doing their job and move the sheeps from one point to another in a few moments.
Those dogs, the Border collier type, are the smartest dog you can find.
The second Activity of the afternoon was the beer tasting at the Mickey Finn's pub at Wicklow Brewery where the staff told us how they made their own beer. She explained that every kind of beer is different from the other and then we tasted six different kinds of beer and After we had dinner there.

Boards of Directors responsible in addressing Modern Slavery
May 6, 2021
Directors of Australian entities with revenues of over $100m, have principal responsibility for disclosing in annual statements potential modern slavery risks in their supply chain and be confident of genuine progress towards the elimination of slavery under the Modern Slavery Act 2018.
The Australian Council of Superannuation Investors has identified potential impacts for non-compliance of modern slavery reporting obligations on company’s reputation, operational disruptions, divert of resources and costly legal consequences.
Companies need to establish a specific process to dig deeper than the first layer of suppliers and maximise the understanding of risks. Some of the most common mistakes made include assuming that Australian or local suppliers are without risk, that assessing direct suppliers is enough or that existing procedures will uncover instances of exploitation. Many companies are working to embed practices that address risks of exploitation, bribery, corruption and worker safety. Others are collaborating within their sectors, building awareness in their organisations, developing stronger relationships with suppliers and strengthening ethical sourcing programs with strict internal frameworks, contract review and auditing.
Boards are encouraged to ensure that thorough consultation across the business is undertaken and that modern slavery statements and their aspirations are realistic and capture mandatory criteria.
As sustainability specialists, Cress Consulting is ideally positioned to assist you in identifying the risk of modern slavery occurring in your business and set out steps to address that risk. If you’d like to find out more please contact us here.

Though he once led the more pop-leaning Butterflies, Carrboro’s Josh Kimbrough is taking his songs in a new direction as Teardrop Canyon. His first new track, titled “Let It Rest,” is a catchy, crunchy tune that’s got a bit of a bite to it.
A tight, chugging rhythm section powers “Let It Rest,” with a few surfy guitar parts lending additional intrigue. But for all the song’s directness, the video is a dizzying, dim journey that follows Kimbrough winding through a house.
Colorful lights flash and fade, combining with blurring effects and the camera’s natural movement to a swimmy, interesting end.There’s an eerie moment, too, when animated red eyes float and tremble in the darkness before Kimbrough reappears.

Homosexual: Oppression and Liberation
Format: PDF / Kindle (mobi) / ePub
"A pleasure...a really sensitive, lucid account of his personal liberation...a penetrating analysis of the political premises and goals and philosophical background of the movement."
—The New York Times
"The one to read...may very well be the most intelligible and best written books on the subject."
—The Minneapolis Tribune
When Homosexual: Oppression and Liberation was first published in 1971, The New York Review of Books, hailed it as the only work that bears comparison...with the best to appear from Women's Liberation. Time wrote that, among the whole tumble of homosexuals who have `come out of the closet', perhaps best among these accounts is a book by Dennis Altman.
Long out of print, Homosexual: Oppression and Liberation remains a seminal work in the gay liberation movement. Altman examines the different positions promoting gay liberation, and recognizes the healthy diversity in these divisions. Elaborating on the writers of the emergent movement--James Baldwin, Allen Ginsberg, Christopher Isherwood, Herbert Marcuse, Kate Millett, and others--Homosexual suggests that we can nurture a common, progressive movement out of our shared sexuality and experience of a heterosexist society. Today, in the age of AIDS, ACT UP, and Queer Nation, the possibility of such commonality is of critical importance.
Jeffrey Weeks's new introduction places Homosexual: Oppression and Liberation in its historical context, while the author's new afterword examines its significance in light of today's lesbian and gay movement.
in Australia, at least in the federal territories. In both Chicago :md London, however, experience has shown that the absence of specifically antihomosexual laws does not materially change the hostility encountered by most homosexuals. Coming out, as we have seen, involves the homosexual in a process of developing some way of dealing with his or her sexual identity. Part of this adjustment involves a recognition of the way in which homosexuality is stigmatized by society, and the adoption of a
form of repression, and bring to its logical conclusion the Freudian belief in our inherent bisexuality. 90 LIBERATION: TOWARD THE POLYMORPHOUS WHOLE Sex Roles and Repression The repression of polymorphous perversity in Western societies has two major components: the removal of the erotic from all areas of life other than the explicitly sexual, and the denial of our inherent bisexuality. The latter in particular is bound up with the development of the very clear-cut concepts of masculine and
that it attracts, as will any revolutionary movement, numbers of people seeking to resolve all sorts of personal difficulties. For this reason too its appeal to older homosexuals is likely to be much less, for they have already established an identity and a way of coping with the world. Indeed to such persons, gay liberation is as much a threat as it is to straight society, for it undermines the whole complex set of roles and social relationships they have built up. The real importance of gay

The greatest virtue of the plan was the way it exploited the institutional channels that dissenters are always being urged to use so as to make very difficult the path of those who would stop them (although Alpine County officials did begin discussions aimed at incorporating the county into surrounding ones), and it dramatized the extent to which at least some homosexuals feel oppressed within society. The plan attracted considerable publicity (Time reported it, and for
this is not, of course, a development that is universally welcomed, and over the past few years there has developed something of a minor cult of attacking the collapse of American masculinity/ femininity which, as if in illustration of my previous arguments, is linked to an alleged growth in homosexuality.

How is Traveling to Korea Possible With Less Than Perfect Conditions?
The story of how Koreans became known as Casino Korea is interesting to state the least. It all began when some South Korean men decided that they wished to open an illegal casino inches away from their hotel. THE UNITED STATES Consulate in Korea attempted to mediate between both sides. However, this step only were able to irritate the South Korean men even further. It was then that the consulate finally resorted to violence.
In addition to this unfortunate episode the Koreans learned that the Americans have been attempting to enforce a ban on Korean gambling because they didn’t like the growing tourism industry that has been rapidly taking place through the entire country. The Koreans became angry and started a campaign to have the American government to recognize that they were being discriminated against because of the habit of gambling. Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful and the united states still made a point of discriminating contrary to the Koreans because of their habit of gambling.
When the UN proposed a Security Council resolution to get rid of the discrimination against the Korean people, the Koreans realized that they would be in a negative position if the UN did nothing to help. In order to prevent the UN from recognizing their predicament the Korean government and its leadership took a difficult look at their very own society. They realized that a great deal of their issues with American officials and tourists came from the fact that most of the locals saw American officials as sympathetic towards their cause and felt that the tourism was a very important thing. Thus, they took their argument one step further and began a campaign for online casinos.
Initially the idea of opening an online casino in Korea may have seemed like a pipe dream to the Korean people. But soon enough they began brainstorming and drawing up plans for their own virtual casinos. Needless to say, they hoped that when the Korean people got their very own casinos it would serve as ways to gain some economic sway over the American tourist trade, which is one of their major concerns.
As time passed and with the overall economy in Europe much more attention was paid to the subject. The Korean government realized that the planet economy had more to lose than it was gaining and this fact became a huge attraction for the Korean individuals who desired more foreign investment. Quickly enough, US officials, along with citizens 우리카지노 of various Europe, were lining up to be a part of the fun. Today, you will find slot machines all across Europe that are programmed to allow European citizens to play in the same casinos as Koreans.
Another reason that the world of casino gaming has found a house in Korea is because the Korean folks have taken an active role in promoting this form of gambling. Tours from North America have been quite frequent, and the players have begun showing up in droves to be a part of all the glitz and glamour that go with them. Players from Europe are now being targeted aswell, but this aspect of the business enterprise is not as popular as the Korean people tend to prefer playing against other players rather than against Europeans or Americans. As the gaming industry is growing the craze among Korean gamers will probably only continue to grow.
On a more serious note, the Korean government has implemented some strict laws that all casinos must adhere to should they wish to stay in the united states. These laws have managed to get more difficult for non-Koreans to set up casinos of their own, which explains why you can find so many Korean-owned casinos in Europe. Gleam strong anti-gambling cyber squad that many Korean banks have assembled. Their job would be to avoid the spread of gambling through the internet. Unfortunately, many westerners have become quite familiar with these cyber squads and several have become targets for the hackers that make up the anti-gambling cyber squads.
Unfortunately, because of this the accessibility of a few of the more affordable casinos in Korea in addition has been affected. For this reason many non-Koreans have been planing a trip to Korea just to enjoy their favorite casino games. They are able to easily travel to Europe or America, while there is no dependence on a visa in either of these countries to access a lot of the gambling facilities. Because of this, the quality of the gaming has been affected. The amount of machines has decreased and the graphics on the screens are also lowered. This may end up causing all of the more costly, authentic casino games to be less available to Koreans, since the quality of these games is quite high.

We hear about it in commercials for everything from Cheerios to butter spreads. It’s cholesterol and although our bodies need it to function properly, too much cholesterol can lead to problems like atherosclerosis and hearth disease.
But what exactly is cholesterol, and how does it impact your health? Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that is made in the liver. Cholesterol is vital for maintaining cell walls, making hormones, and is also necessary for manufacturing bile, and vitamin D.
Sometimes, however, our bodies produce more cholesterol than we really need or we can take in too much cholesterol through our diet. This excess cholesterol circulates in the bloodstream and clogs blood vessels increasing the risk for heart disease and stroke.
Cholesterol can’t dissolve in the blood. It has to be transported to and from the cells by carriers called lipoproteins. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is known as “bad” cholesterol. When the too much LDL circulates in the blood, it builds up a “plaque” in the arteries. This hardening of the arteries is called atherosclerosis, and this can also lead to a heart attack or stroke.
Foods that contain high levels of low density lipoproteins are those rich in animal fats, including hydrogenated fats found in cakes, pastries, biscuits, and full fat dairy products like cream, cheese, ice cream, and butter. Eating a diet high in saturated fats is a key component to having high cholesterol.
Now you could be saying, “I don’t eat a high fat diet and I still have high cholesterol.” This is entirely possible. There are people who exercise regularly, eat a well-balanced, low fat diet, and still have a high level of LDL cholesterol in their blood. Hereditary factors can play a role in cholesterol levels. It’s important to discuss you cholesterol level and all of your risk factors with your doctor.
Raising Your High Density Lipoprotein
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is known as the “good cholesterol.” High levels of HDL appear to prevent against heart attacks and some experts believe it may also excess cholesterol from building up within the arteries. People who have levels of low levels of HDL, less than 40 mg of HDL, have an increased risk of heart attack.
You can raise your HDL cholesterol with some simple lifestyle modifications. Including aerobic exercise in your daily routine will increase your HDL levels. It’s also important to note that in obesity was one cause of low HDL levels, so weight loss can also impact HDL levels for people needing to lose significant amounts of weight.
It’s also a good idea to increase the amount of monosaturated fats in your diet. These are found in canola oil, olive oil, avocado oil and peanut butter. There is also rapeseed oil and a huge variety of nuts and seeds. As a bonus, studies have shown that healthy levels of cholesterol may also offer antioxidant benefits.
Adding soluble fiber to you diet is another way to increase your HDL cholesterol and lower your LDL cholesterol at the same time. Soluble fibers are found in foods like oats, fruits, vegetables, and legumes. Another great reason to eat your fruits and veggies!
The Other Cholesterol – Triglycerides
Triglycerides are the chemical form in which most fat exists in foods as well as in the body. Triglycerides in plasma are derived from fats eaten in foods or made in the body from other energy sources like carbohydrates.
Trigylcerides are very important in controlling the metabolism of energy and transporting dietary fat. They split into free fatty acids and monoacylglycerol through the process known as lipolysis. Then they mix with bile and lipases and move to the enterocytes—the cells which line the intestines.
Trigylcerides then rebuild in these cells and transport to the proteins and cholesterol to form chylomicrons, which transport external lipids to skeletal muscle tissue, liver, and adipose tissue before mixing into the blood. Triglycerides can easily be broken down into energy via the hormone, glycagon.
High levels of trigylcerides in the human body can cause atherosclerosis, and increase the risk of stroke and/or heart disease. If your levels of triglycerides are high, try to consume a high number of monosaturated fats to raise the healthy levels of cholesterol (HDL).
What is a Healthy Level of Cholesterol?
The lower the levels of Low Density Lipoproteins, the less at risk the body is of heart related disorders, but what is a healthy level of cholesterol? In the US, the current levels of cholesterol in the body is measured in milligrams (mg) of cholesterol per deciliter (dl) of blood.
|Total Cholesterol Levels in US||LDL Cholesterol Levels in US||HDL Cholesterol in US||Triglycerides Cholesterol in US|
|Desirable: Under 200mg/dl||Desirable level for those at very high risk: Under 70 mg/dl||Healthy level: 60 mg/dl +||Healthy level: Under 150 mg/dl|
|Medium high: 200-239 mg/dl||Healthy level for those at risk of atherosclerosis or heart disease: Under 100 mg/dl||Above average: 50-59 mg/dl||Medium high: 150-199 mg/dl|
|Dangerously high: 240 mg/dl +||Healthy level: 100-129 mg/dl||Unhealthy level for men: Under 40 mg/dl||High: 200-499 mg/dl|
|LDL cholesterol||Medium High: 130-159 mg/dl||Unhealthy level for women: Under 50 mg/dl||Dangerously high: 500 mg/dl +|
|High: 160-189 mg/dl|
|Dangerously high: 190 mg/dl +|
The High Risk Group
Those at risk of atherosclerosis or heart disease fall into this ‘high risk’ category:
- If you have previously suffered a stroke or heart attack
- Individuals who suffer with hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Sufferers of Peripheral Artery Disease (artery blockages in the arms/legs)
- Sufferers of Carotid Artery Disease (artery blockages in the neck)
- Low levels of High Density Lipoproteins, or those who consume too many animal proteins/hydrogenated fats
- Sufferers of diabetes
- If early heart disease runs in the family
- Individuals who suffer with elevated lipoproteins
- If you are a man over the age of 45, or a woman over the age of 55.
Cholesterol is important to the body, but when it grows to dangerous levels, it is better to visit your physician for a test. The best way to prevent heart disease, atherosclerosis, and stroke is to find out the current level of cholesterol in your blood.
To reduce your risk of these ailments, lower your levels of the unhealthy Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL), raise your levels of the healthier High Density Lipoproteins (HDL), and reduce the levels of triglycerides in the blood.

I'd like to ask you for a recommendention. I'm looking for a rust graphics API I could use for a 2D CAD project. I need just an interactive viewport. It's supposed to display only lines, arcs, circles and text (or maybe some arrows). But it should be possible to disable scale of the line widths (and arrow pointers). So when a line is 1pt or 1px wide, it should stay so regardless of the zoom factor. Sorry if the answer is obvious. I hope it is.
(In Qt or kivy I just used line width of 0 and it worked fantastic)
I happen to be looking into 2D CAD as well.
I've looked into egui and actually tried Iced. For egui the plan was to use the plot widget to accomplish this, but I found it difficult to keep things tidy and I never got around to doing much with it.
Iced is useable but not very mature. It has the canvas widget which does this nicely. You're going to have to do the scaling logic (as well as everything else, its just a patch of screen you can draw on) yourself, though. The clock and game_of_life examples use the canvas widget.
Might be something better out there, dunno.

The results of our crowdfunded polling on KiwiSaver are in!
And it confirms exactly what we’ve suspected all along…
The vast majority of New Zealanders are overwhelmingly opposed to KiwiSaver funds being invested in stuff that harms, injures and kills.
Here are the results:
Some things you should know:
- This is a survey of a nationally representative sample of 750 New Zealanders 18 years of age and over.
- Of the 750 respondents, 86% disapproved of using KiwiSaver funds to invest in ‘weapons, bombs, landmines and missiles’, 6% approved and 8% neither approved nor disapproved.
- Of the respondents who identified as National voters, 86% disapproved of using KiwiSaver funds to invest in ‘weapons, bombs, landmines and missiles’.
This is great news for our campaign for an ethical KiwiSaver because it proves to Government that the public — and importantly, National voters — are on our side.
We have already landed some media off the back of these results but we’ll be ramping up the pressure big time next week by releasing more of the results from our polling. We’re also working with Bryan Bruce, investigative journalist and documentary filmmaker, to get an opinion piece placed with one of the mainstream print newspapers.
The last time I wrote about our KiwiSaver campaign, I asked for your views about which creative tactic we should use to deliver our people-powered petition next week. The majority of you chose to print signs and banners and hire a theatre troupe to perform a protest piece, so we’re going to do both!
We’re planning an action with the good folks at Pat-A-Cake Productions to pull off something spectacular, and we need your help to do it.
If you can’t chip in right now, that’s no problem! The other way you could help out is by sending Commerce Minister Paul Goldsmith a quick email (email@example.com) or Tweet to let him know that you — and 86% of New Zealanders — think we need tighter legislation to ensures our retirement savings are invested in the brighter future the National Party promised us, and not weapons of war.
Watch this space as plans for the action develop, as well as an opportunity for you to come along to the handover event and be involved.

Prime Your Kitchen
The world is full of cookie platters and nacho bars. At home, give your willpower a break with these six organizational tweaks that make healthier eating automatic.
- Fill the fruit bowl. Load up on bananas, apples, pears and oranges – none of which need to be refrigerated.
- Hide your munchies in a cabinet. Take the bag of potato chips off the counter and drop pounds while doing so.
- Move your smaller plates to the bottom shelf. You will be more likely to use them, and that is good. People take in less food when they eat off a smaller plate (like a 7-inch salad plate) rather than a bigger plate (10-inch).
- Ditch your trivets. Stop bringing pans to the table for easy serving. The same goes for takeout containers. When you have to get up for seconds you will likely eat less.
- Stock the fridge with produce that lasts. Healthy cooking starts with making sure you always have vegetables on hand. Romaine lettuce, carrots, beets, cabbage, and cauliflower are good for at least a week.
- Zap the stressors. People eat less when they are in a relaxed environment. Scan your kitchen for anxiety triggers (a stack of bills, a long to-do list) and move them elsewhere.
