Richie Mo’unga Named Player of the Tournament as Forever Sports Online Reveals Team of the Tournament
In a thrilling conclusion to the highly anticipated tournament, Richie Mo’unga of New Zealand has been crowned the Player of the Tournament. Forever Sports Online has also revealed the prestigious team of the tournament, which includes Ardie Savea, Aaron Smith, Bundee Aki, and Ox Nché, alongside Mo’unga.
But it’s not just individual accolades that are stealing the spotlight. Siya Kolisi, captain of the South Africa team, is being hailed as the greatest captain in the history of the game. Kolisi’s inspirational leadership and remarkable achievements have cemented his place in rugby history.
Eben Etzebeth of South Africa is receiving well-deserved praise for his immense impact and influence on the team. Etzebeth’s exceptional performances throughout the tournament have not gone unnoticed, and his contributions have undoubtedly played a crucial role in South Africa’s success.
Forever Sports Online is also recognizing remarkable breakthrough players, with Nicolas Martins of Portugal and Jac Morgan of Wales taking the spotlight. These talented players have demonstrated their potential and have left a lasting impression on the tournament.
Amongst the highlights of the tournament, the match between Ireland and South Africa in the pool stage has been dubbed the best match. Fans witnessed a gripping battle between two powerhouses of the sport, showcasing the highest level of rugby.
Kurt-Lee Arendse of South Africa’s impressive try against Scotland has been named the best try of the tournament. This remarkable individual effort showcased skill, finesse, and athleticism, leaving fans in awe.
Forever Sports Online has also recognized Portugal’s late winning try against Fiji as the champagne moment of the tournament. The thrilling last-minute try from Portugal sealed a memorable victory, providing a true spectacle for fans worldwide.
However, the tournament also had its fair share of disappointments. Australia’s lackluster performance and France’s defeat in the quarter-finals remain as the biggest disappointments of the tournament. Both teams were once considered strong contenders, but their early exits stunned spectators.
The abiding memory of the tournament, unfortunately, remains the red card in the final. The controversial decision overshadowed the otherwise thrilling match, leaving a bitter taste for many fans.
Looking ahead, Forever Sports Online offers predictions for the 2027 tournament. The top four teams from this year’s tournament are expected to make a strong comeback, while there is also a possibility of a northern hemisphere winner. The stage is set for another exhilarating tournament, and fans around the world eagerly await the action.
With the tournament officially concluded, Forever Sports Online pays tribute to the standout performances and unforgettable moments that made this year’s event truly remarkable. Rugby fans can now reflect on the thrilling matches, exceptional individual performances, and the lasting impact of the tournament on the sport as a whole.

Jakarta (Indonesia Window) – The Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources is pushing an addition of the capacity of solar power plants by 2,089.4 megawatts (MW).
“We are massively pushing solar energy with a target of increasing the power plants capacity of 2,089.4 MW. This is the right time to accelerate,” the Director of Various Renewable Energy at the Ministry’s Renewable Energy Directorate General, Harris, said in a statement received by Indonesia Window here on Friday.
The target is achieved by developing large-scale solar power plants, one of which is in collaboration with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) with an aim to reduce the cost of providing electricity.
In addition, the government is also developing power plants in ex-mining areas with a total capacity of 2,300 MW, namely, in Bangka Belitung of 1,250 MW, as well as in East Kalimantan province’s districts of West Kutai and Kutai Kartanegara of 1,000 MW and 53 MW respectively.
Some floating solar power plants will also be built with a total capacity of 857 MW in Wonogiri and Mrica eeservoirs in Banjarnegara, Central Java province; Sutami reservoir in Karangkates and Wonorejo reservoirs in Tulung Agung, East Java province; Jatiluhur and Saguling reservoirs in West Java province; and Singkarak reservoir in West Sumatra province.
The government is also developing cold storage solar power plants in coastal areas or maritime economic clusters by optimizing the state funds in collaboration with the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries.
Meanwhile, in frontier and outermost areas in eastern Indonesia, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources will develop hybrid solar power plants.

G-Power BMW M4 F83 Convertible is world’s fastest cabriolet?
G-Power is back this month with the exclusive announcement that they have created the world's fastest BMW M4 convertible. And with its 600 hp this might be for real! Turning the M4 into a razor sharp weapon wasn't an easy task. Using just their Bi-Tronik 2 V1-ECU remap, the stock output of the M4's 3.0-litre turbocharged inline six-cylinder motor (431 hp and 550 Nm) was raised to the impressive 520 hp (382 kW) and 700 Nm (517 lb-ft) of torque.
In achieving the 600 hp goal, the tuning specialists have combined hardware and software upgrades. As a result, the 600 hp (441 kW) are available at 6,500 rpm and 740 Nm (546 lb-ft) of torque between 4,000 and 5,500 rpm.
What is more impressive is the acceleration time achieved after the modifications. The G-Power M4 Convertible now leaps off the line, hitting 100km/h in just 3.7 seconds! And due to the removal of the electronic Vmax limiter, it easily goes up to 320km/h.
Who needs great soundtrack accompanying the uprated power? Everyone! That is why, the tuners added bespoke titanium ultra-lightweight exhaust system, which produces rousing ear candy from its four 90-millimeter carbon fibre tailpipes.
At last, for the perfect road manners, G-Power mounted their G4M RS fully adjustable coilover suspension, and a set of HURRICANE RR forged alloys coming in 21-inch size. They were fitted with 245/30R21 and 295/25R21 high performance tires, at the front and rear respectively.

We encourage all students from universities from the ARAB region to explore methods for innovative geometrical
exploration of the traditional Islamic and/or Arabian forms of sun filtering architecture. The exploration should
respond to an example of your choice.
- Document an existing traditional permanent sun-shading architectural element;(e.g. روشان roshan; مشربية
mashrabiya; منجور mangor; شناشيل shanashil.....)
- Graphically demonstrate the underlying geometries discovered within the object;
- Innovate – give your brise soleil a ‘heartbeat’ - through modification (e.g. of scale, material, function, movement, etc), find a way to make your object come to life. Alternatively, you may design a contemporary evolution of the selected traditional brise soleil.
Khaled Abd El Gawad
Mashrabiya is the Arabic term given to a type of projecting oriel window enclosed with carved wood latticework located on the second storey of a building or higher. The mashrabiy is an element of traditional Arabic architecture used since the middle ages up to the mid twentieth century. Mashrabiyas were mostly used in houses and palaces although sometimes in public buildings such as hospitals, inns, schools and government buildings. There are different types of Mashrabiyas. Most Mashrabiyas are closed where the latticework is lined with stained glass and part of the Mashrabiya is designed to be opened like a window, often sliding windows to save space; in this case the area contained is part of the upper floor rooms hence enlarging the floor plan. Some Mashrabiyas are open and not lined with glass, in this case the Mashrabiya works like a balcony. One of the major features of the Mashrabiya is for privacy.
Geometry in Architecture and Building Design
The GEO-ARAB-DESIGN group is a network of professionals from architectural and engineering practices, academia and industry. Our mission is to promote design and technological excellence and explore local identities through the exploration and innovative applications of geometry.
GEO-ARAB-DESIGN believes that geometry lies at the core of the architectural design process. It is omnipresent, from the initial form-finding stages to the final construction. Modern geometric computing provides a variety of tools for the efficient design, analysis, and manufacturing of complex shapes.
By submitting to this competition, you give geo-arab-design and its assignees the full right to use, distribute, and replicate your design in any and all media.

* Brise soleil, sometimes brise-soleil (breez-soh-ley, from French, "sun breaker"), in architecture refers to a variety of permanent sun-shading techniques, ranging from the simple patterned concrete walls popularized by Le Corbusier to the elaborate wing-like mechanism devised by Santiago Calatrava for the Milwaukee Art Museum or the mechanical, pattern-creating devices of the Institut du Monde Arabe by Jean Nouvel.

The lobby entrance has a great exhibit called "Geometry of Light" created from magnifying lenses strung on wire that looks different as you walk around it. I really appreciate structural artwork that I can interact with, which might just be why I like sewing and quilting so much.
To the left of the Van Gogh, my absolute favorite art piece was this sculpture created from Mylar (the material used in those shiny birthday balloons). They really look like natural rock or coral formations when you are up close. So inventive!
Tonight, I'm hoping to be inspired by the sounds of the season as we visit an outdoor 4th of July symphony with friends. Steamy weather aside, this should be a great week of feeling rejuvenated and inspired. Happy 4th, friends! Are you watching fireworks tonight, or staying indoors?

Besides the wildlife, Yellowstone National Park is best known for its hydrothermal formations including hot springs and geysers. This is because the Park lies over a supervolcano. It seemed everywhere we drove, smoke curled up from the ground along the side of the road. It’s exciting to witness a geyser erupt, spewing water and smoke high up in the air. It’s awe-inspiring to see the rainbow of colors of some hot springs, which I learned is due to different types of microorganisms.
I didn’t see every geyser and hot spring in Yellowstone, but these were my five favorite.
- Grand Prismatic Spring – Midway Geyser Basin
Midway Geyser Basin contains two of my favorite sites and my #1 fav is the Grand Prismatic Spring. The spring is beautiful, a rainbow of colors with a light steam hovering over it. I wish I could have seen it from above. There is supposed to be a path leading up to a lookout, but I couldn’t find it and it looked like 2 bison may have been grazing near it anyway.
Fun Fact: Grand Prismatic Spring is the third largest spring in the world and deeper than a 10-story building.
- Old Faithful – Upper Geyser Basin
No list would be complete without the most popular geyser in Yellowstone. We watched it erupt twice we found it so fascinating.
Arrive early. We arrived at Old Faithful at 9 am for a 9:52 estimated eruption. No one was there on this frigid morning (in September). We got a front row seat (there are 2 rows of benches in a horseshoe around half the geyser). Just before the eruption occurs, there are a few false starts, you can hear the water bubbling, then finally steam and water spew up. We got really excited before it blew, anticipating each false start to be the last. It exploded just past 9:52 am and lasted 4 min, according to a couple next to us. It was a bit disappointing as we saw mostly smoke and the water didn’t look like it rose very high, so we decided to wait for the next eruption approximately 90 minutes later.
The next predicted eruption was at 11:26 am, but it blew a bit early and the eruption lasted about five minutes. We took a different position on the left side, which made all the difference. We could clearly see the water spewing high into the air along with the smoke. Also, we think it erupted higher the second time than the first time. Each eruption is different in length and size, so if the one you see is disappointing, stick around a while.
Old Faithful isn’t the only geyser at this site. If you stay for more than one eruption, walk the one-mile Geyser Hill Loop looking at other area geysers. Just stay away from the bison; there were two grazing in a field next to Old Faithful.
Fun fact: The largest concentrations of geysers in the world is in the Upper Geyser Basin.
- Pink Cone Geyser – Lower Geyser Basin
We stumbled upon this site on the Firehole Lake Drive where we found a little geyser spewing a little jet of water continually like a fire hose. It actually doesn’t run continually, but it spews water approximately 30 feet in the air for a couple hours. It was fun to watch and no one else was around to see it!
- Turquoise Pool- Midway Geyser Basin
You’ll pass this pool before getting to Prismatic Spring, but I loved the bright turquoise color. Note the Midway Geyser Basin gets really crowded by midday, even in the off season, so plan to go early if you can.
Fun Fact: Turquoise Pool was named for its gem-like, blue-colored water.
- Dragon’s Mouth Spring
Dragon’s Mouth Spring was one of the first springs we encountered in Yellowstone, at Sulfur Canyon. Sulfur spews up from the ground (and it smells) and there is either bubbling mud or water caused by the prior volcanic activity in the area. I liked all the smoke, and the name. It can splash water on the walkway, so be careful as the water is hot. According to a sign at the site, the rumbling is steam and other gasses exploding through the water, causing it to crash against the walls of the cave.
See also the mud volcano at this site, which is just what it sounds like.
Fun Fact: Dragon’s Mouth Spring likely got its name by the smoke billowing from its mouth and the growling sound when the gasses and steam are released from the cave.
6. Norris Geyser Basin – Porcelain Basin
Ok, Yellowstone has such a lot of delightful sites to visit that I couldn’t stop at five.
There are other well known areas of Yellowstone, such as Mammoth Hot Springs and Norris Geyser Basin that also have amazing formations. Norris Geyser Basin is well known for its varied colors and I loved Porcelain Basin’s icy blue hue. Occasionally, you will notice a small geyser splashing in the basin. Be careful on this boardwalk as well, as hot water will occasionally splash up on you, or worse, your camera equipment.
Fun Fact: Porcelain Basin is milky blue because it is saturated with silica, which is what glass is made from.
I’ll open up comments on this post so you can post your favorite sites in Yellowstone!

Hey there Star Wars fans, Just wanted to share a new fan made video series with you. In the build up to the launch of Bioware's Star Wars MMO, we've begun a companion series to their official time-line videos and created the Sith Archives. We've already released the first three videos and have an entire series planned. Check out the first entry in the Sith Archives by clicking the following link: Rise of the Silent Council: Details: This is the first video in a series of timeline entries from the Sith Archives on Korriban. A holorecord in the Sith Archive provides the first evidence of a new threat facing the galaxy as Darth Panopticus and the Silent Council emerge from two millennia of hibernation to unleash their rage and destructive force upon the known Galaxy. While both the Republic and Empire are building up for the coming war... in the shadows beyond the Outer Rim, an ancient Sith menace has been plotting the downfall of all who would dare to stand in their way. The darkness is coming and there is nothing you can do to stop it. "Time is a lie, there is only patience. Through patience, I gain perspective. Through perspective, I gain knowledge. Through knowledge, I gain control. Through control, their chains are forged. The Force shall enslave them." - excerpt from the Holocron of Darth Panopticus ------------------------------------- Archive #2 The Great Hyperspace War Check it out the second video by clicking the following link: Details: The Great Hyperspace War was a war fought between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire in BTC 1347. The conflict encompassed the entire Galactic Republic, though the main forces focused their attention on three Republic worlds, and later took the war to the remote star system Primus Goluud, and the Sith mausoleum world of Korriban. After it overcame the initial shock of the Sith invasion, the Republic's armadas regrouped and annihilated the Sith Empire, forcing the Sith Lord Naga Sadow to exile himself to Yavin 4. In this record from the Sith Archive, Darth Panopticus retells the events of the Hyperspace war from a Sith perspective. ------------------------------------- Archive #3 Resurrection Holocrons Check it out the third video by clicking the following link Details: BTC 440- The Sith scientist Darth Foucaultus explains the panoptic philosophy of power that operates as a core principle in the construction of Resurrection Holocrons. The holocron was able to capture the appearance and cognitive networks of the holocron's owner, and transform this into a three-dimensional hologram. This gatekeeper acted as a guide through the holocron's store of information, as a search and recovery engine with a more personal touch. These gatekeepers could relate stories from the holocron's archives to events in the life of the one who activated the holocron.

Professors Ritu Lakhtakia, Dr. Fatemeh Amir Rad, and Farah Otaki, MBRU
When the Mohammad Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences (MBRU) was confronted by the disruption of the pandemic, its staff swiftly swung into action. This webinar details how the postgraduate dental and medical faculty was able to put into place a swift changeover to distance learning, relying on an ongoing collaborative effort. This involved committing to a continual process of reflection and observation, while ensuring that existing resources and tools were utilized to their full effect. Ultimately, an effective set of mixed methods were adopted in order to realize this distance learning stance. The collection of data from both students and instructors was a key part of this process, being facilitated with Explorance’s Blue, with the survey process being particularly key to understanding this effort, its successes, and the more effective options that were and are available. This webinar will outline in detail the learnings that the team has gleaned during this transition.

Free Newsletters for the Channel
Register for Your Free Newsletter Now
SlashNext's eventual goal is to run all of its business through its partners.
December 12, 2017
**Editor’s Note: Click here for our most recent list of important channel-program changes you should know.**
Internet security provider SlashNext is beefing up its channel strategy with the goal of attracting more partners like SHI International, a $7.5 billion-plus global provider of technology products and services.
The SlashNext channel program is launching nationally this month with a “commitment to 100 percent channel fulfillment through 11 channel sales partners,” the company said. The SlashNext system deploys human-like intelligence and cognitive thinking to stop internet attacks that target unsuspecting employees as their entry points.
SlashNext’s Seamus Meagher
Seamus Meagher, SlashNext’s vice president of business development and channels, tells Channel Partners his company offers partners a way to differentiate themselves in a highly fragmented market with an enterprise-class cybersecurity offering tailored specifically for underserved midsize enterprises.
“The goal is to eventually run 100 percent of our business through our partners,” he said.
SlashNext said it has chosen a focused channel sales strategy to jump-start rapid growth based on its low-friction sales cycle, with add-on services that partners can deliver, including penetration testing, security gap analysis, analysis and decision support, and remediation. Also, the company offers a full set of
threat-intelligence services that can be resold by partners, along with funds for joint marketing and field activities.
“SlashNext is looking for partners who want to give their customers enterprise-grade internet access protection that they would get by hiring a thousand security experts,” Meagher said. “In addition, we are interested in working with partners who are focused on selling AVs and firewall technologies as they tend to understand the many limitations these types (of) products can present their customers when it comes to catching things like social engineering attacks.”
SlashNext saves partners time and complexity, he said.
“SlashNext promises four-in-one protection — protecting against all internet-access attacks including malware and exploits, as well as malware-free attacks like callback detection or social engineering including phishing,” Meagher said. “The solution is platform-agnostic, so protection is in place, regardless of (the) OS or endpoint device that connects to the internet. Twenty-minute install time, one definitive verdict, no configuration and management and no latency.”
“We are very selective about the internet security solutions we put in front of our customers,” said Ed McNamara, SHI’s senior director of communications and marketing. “We look for offerings that can augment existing architectures with powerful new capabilities without disrupting what is working or adding more work for the IT administrator. We are thrilled to partner with SlashNext and take their unique solution to market.”

Lady Vols waiting for recruits to decide
The fall signing period begins Wednesday for Tennessee. The ending still is very much in play.
The Lady Vols have secured two women’s basketball commitments for the Class of 2017: Guard Anastasia Hayes from Murfreesboro and post Kasiyahna Kushkituah from Alpharetta, Ga. The 5-foot-7 Hayes is a consensus top 10 prospect. Kushkituah, who stands 6-4, is ranked ninth by All-Star Girls Report and 11th by ProspectsNation.com.
Hayes told the Daily News Journal newspaper in Murfreesboro Tuesday that she will sign during the fall period, but not on Wednesday. Kushkituah said via text message that she will sign at 11:30 a.m. EST Wednesday at her school, St. Francis High.
Tennessee is one of five schools being considered by Evina Westbrook, a 6-foot guard from Salem, Ore. She’s ranked No. 1 in the class by All-Star Girls Report and No. 2 by most other recruiting services. She will announce her decision on Thursday.
The Lady Vols also are in the hunt for Rennia Davis, a 6-2 wing from Jacksonville, Fla. She’s ranked ninth in the class by ProspectsNation and 12th by ESPN HoopGurlz and All-Star Girls Report.
Davis made an official campus visit to Tennessee last weekend. She’ll likely make her decision by this weekend.
As of Tuesday, wing Michaela Onyenwere of Aurora, Colo., hadn’t announced her decision either. She visited UT last month.
Pat’s Patch: The Lady Vols are wearing the patch with the distinctive letter “P” that commemorates former Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt. She died July 28 after a five-year battle with Alzheimer’s disease.
“She’s still a part of our program,” UT coach Holly Warlick said after Monday’s exhibition win over Carson-Newman. “It’s different that she’s not here. (The patch) represents our love for her and what she’s done.”
Capital Idea: Tennessee’s first road trip of the season will be part field trip as well.
The team has traveled to Washington D.C. in advance of Friday’s season opener at James Madison, which is located in Harrisonburg, Va., 132 miles southwest of the nation’s capital.

The world population continues to grow with ever-increasing urbanization predicted to reach 80 percent by 2050. The U.N. predicts that human population will reach nearly 10 billion by 2050. This increasing population is also growing richer — and hungrier.
To feed this population using traditional farming practices, much more land would need to be brought under cultivation. But, already much farmland around the world has been degraded from poor management practices, and lands remaining available for food production are decreasing from the effects of erosion, salt buildup and pollution.
As you read this today, tens of millions of children are going to bed hungry, with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimating the number of hungry in 2018 at 812 million or approximately one out of 9 people.
Something needs to change. Food production needs to get more efficient, more equitable and more environmentally minded. Moreover, food production should follow the population to the cities, or as Dickson Despommier, a forerunner of this movement, simply states: “Put the food where the people live.”
Indoor farming through controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) will be an important component towards establishing local food systems that can address this pending crisis in global food insecurity. CEA, simply put, is using smart, sustainable farming practices inside of high-tech greenhouses. This is nothing new, and these modern greenhouses are an established technology and can be found around the world. In fact, much of the lettuce, tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers in the EU come from CEA in the Netherlands and Spain.
These greenhouses have incredible benefits compared to traditional farming: They use less water because they are protected from the sun and wind, they use fewer pesticides because insects and disease can be kept outside, and there is less waste because production can be matched exactly to consumer demands.
If hydroponics or other soil-less practices are used, the farmer does not need to use tractors for tilling, plowing and reaping, so the oil bills and energy consumption are lower. In addition, the fertilizer usage is reduced, and all the fertilizer the farmer uses is consumed by the plants, thereby reducing nutrient-rich runoff that can pollute watersheds. Known as eutrophication, this nutrient pollution is a huge problem for coastal communities in the Chesapeake Bay and Gulf of Mexico and has impacted fisheries, recreational activities and livelihoods around the world.
However, CEA greenhouses can occupy a lot of space. So, the next logical evolution is stacking these modern greenhouses, one atop the other.
Vertical farming, as greenhouses stacking is called, has additional benefits. Reducing the footprint means that more food can be grown in a smaller area and therefore can be brought closer to the people eating that food. As populations move toward the cities, it makes sense for the food to follow.
Part of the vision of vertical farms is the reconnection of the producer and the consumer plus the restructuring of food value chains to become more transparent and responsive to the needs and wants of the people.
An added benefit of farming inside of skyscrapers is the option of having mixed-use buildings. When combined with a wholesale market, the skyscraper can not only produce the food but get it to the consumer faster. Less time in storage, less transportation and less handling means fresher produce and reduced need for postharvest treatments like irradiation and chemical fumigation.
There are still some daunting challenges as well as some encouraging recent developments.
Unleashing the innovative power of American small businesses has jump-started the transition to modern farming, and the public desire for local, healthy food is an economic engine driving the industry toward change. In fact, there are currently so many vertical farm startups that a shortage of qualified workers is now the main hurdle to accelerating the establishment of new indoor farms. On one hand this is a challenge to the industry, but on the other it presents an enormous opportunity for job creation in urban areas if an inclusive, enabling environment is codeveloped with the vertical farms to provide vocational training and career advancement prospects.
On a technical level, there is a significant energy demand needed for pumping water, maintaining good environmental conditions like temperature and humidity, and powering the grow lights to keep producing year-round. However, with smart buildings wired on intelligent platforms, the energy consumption can be monitored and controlled to maximize efficiency — and by tying into other green enterprises like photovoltaic and biogas generation, this energy demand is decreasing day by day. In fact, with the new innovations in LED lighting technology, the power demand has been reduced tenfold in the last few years.
The next evolution of farming has already begun, and big players are already involved. In fact, the National Grange wrote a letter to Congress with their support to public-private funding mechanisms to accelerate the modernization of agriculture, specifically highlighting the potential of vertical farming. With this type of buy-in from large agribusinesses, national and international agricultural organizations, funded with innovative financial mechanisms, and driven by the innovative spirit and technological power only found in the U.S., vertical farming will feed tomorrow’s children with healthy, safe food; protect the environment while being resistant to environmental shocks; and spur economic growth in the process.

Authorities have verified that 4-year-old Kache Wallis died of asphyxiation after being found dead in his house.
After being put to bed the night before, the young child from Hurricane, Utah, vanished and was reported missing.
Kache was sadly discovered dead inside a bit of a toy box in his bedroom after a frantic search by police and neighborhood volunteers.
According to new reports, the Utah Medical Examiner’s Office reviewed the 4-year-death old’s and ruled that “positional asphyxiation” was the official cause of death.
When Kache’s grandmother awoke to find the boy missing from his bed, she contacted the authorities. Officers arrived and searched his home but were unable to locate him.
As a result, a missing person alert was issued, and the local community came out in force to look for him.
The boy’s body was discovered in a small toy chest within his bedroom during a second search of his residence. Family members were interrogated, and the medical examiner was involved.
Unfortunately, Kache climbed into the chest and perished from asphyxiation. His death was declared an accident.
“Our heartfelt condolences are given to Kache and his family,” the City of Hurricane Police Department said.
Kache, may you rest in peace. Please pay your respects by leaving a comment on this article.

How Do You Know When it’s Time to IPO?
Startups are often glorified as a dream job where anyone with an idea can set out to save the world. Once a startup has achieved success, it comes to an end as an IPO — one final moment where the heavens open up and cash rains down on founders.
In reality, an IPO is intensely complicated — in making the choice to go public and in the process it takes to get there. As a matter of fact, going public without real operating metrics can be downright painful. A company doesn’t just naturally grow toward a point where an IPO will happen without a hitch. An IPO requires founders who are ready to defend their company, and it requires a plan to make it work as a public company.
To learn more about this theme, TechRepublic Premium presents a helpful guide. The article includes advice from Ambarish Gupta, founder and CEO of Basis Vectors.
Featured text from the download:
You must have your numbers tightly buttoned up before you even consider going public. Your stock exchange of choice needs to trust your ability to make money and keep making money. You have to build rhythm and predictability.
Gupta says, “My perspective on the intricacies of preparing for an IPO is deeply rooted in the understanding that it’s a multifaceted process, extending well beyond mere financial metrics. Indeed, having your financials in order is important. Gross margins and growth rates are critical indicators of a company’s health and potential. However, it’s equally important to consider other financial metrics such as recurring revenue, customer acquisition cost, lifetime value of a customer and the efficiency of your capital expenditure. These metrics collectively paint a more comprehensive picture of a company’s sustainability and scalability, which are crucial for investors scrutinizing an IPO prospect.”

A couple’s downward slide into drink is anatomized with acuity and skill in “Days of Wine and Roses,” the J.P. Miller teleplay-turned-film here refashioned by Belfast dramatist Owen McCafferty as a tale of Celtic cultural displacement and growing marital despair. Unrelievedly grim on the way to an outcome in which, perhaps surprisingly, the woman fares even worse than the man, play survives a late plunge into bathos thanks to Peter Gill’s typically keen-eyed direction and outstanding perfs from Anne-Marie Duff and, especially, Peter McDonald.
The material, of course, remains best known not from the 1958 “Playhouse 90” special, with Cliff Robertson and Piper Laurie, but from the subsequent Blake Edwards film, which brought 1962 Oscar nods to both Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick. And whatever else McCafferty’s shrewd adaptation is or isn’t, drama students will seize upon the immensely playable double-act he has devised — though it’s likely to be quite some time before anyone offers as penetrating and emotionally translucent a portrait of the male half of a morose equation as McDonald accomplishes in his career-making turn here.
The actor isn’t as well known as his able distaff partner, Duff, late of popular U.K. TV series “Shameless.” But in an evening fraught with thespian pitfalls, from a potentially meet-cute opening to an extremely sticky soliloquy late on that marks the writing’s only real misstep, McDonald doesn’t slip once.
A bookie’s clerk who first espies Duff’s civil servant Mona at Belfast Airport in 1962 as both prepare to experience for the first time “the bright lights” of London, McDonald’s Donal is charm incarnate, all dancing-eyed enthusiasm. He’s the sort, in fact, whom you wouldn’t say no to a drink from, even if — as is true of Mona — you never previously touched the stuff.
Out of Mona’s first swig ensues a gathering spiral of despair that will have devastating consequences for their marriage, their (unseen) son and their initially enchanted view of London, which by play’s end has almost become too small to contain two such wounded, wounding people. (The play is as compressed as McCafferty’s 2003 National Theater “Scenes From a Big Picture,” with its cast of 21, was unwieldy.)
Donal’s great love is for the races, specifically the now-fabled Irish racehorse Arkle, whose every stride Donal rapturously reports. It’s a shame, then, that the real-life horse, who died in 1970, has to provide not just texture and color to what might have been a claustrophobic exercise but must come to embody the very heroism of which Donal and Mona fall so tragically short. McDonald rides out such passages like a consummate jockey before bringing the play back on track and toward a belated toast “to health and happiness,” which, in context, could not be more ironic.
How did such an expansive vision for two shared lives fall so bruisingly apart? McCafferty steers thankfully clear of psychobabble, just as Gill’s expert staging avoids the clichés of drunkenness. Instead, the nine scenes progress across eight years, various clues as to the couple’s dependency planted like so many landmines. Embracing “my new start” with innocent recklessness, Duff charts the gathering defensiveness that accompanies Mona’s embrace of the bottle.
One doesn’t have to be aware of the much-discussed binge drinking besetting Britain at the moment to be deeply moved by Mona’s lucidity on the one hand (“Our world can’t be his world,” she says, trying to protect their young son) and the point of no return she seems to have reached by play’s end: “Three days is good,” Mona tells her husband, clutching at scant proof that she is off the sauce. But it’s not good enough for Donal, who is packing up to return to “lovely Belfast” — “a lost cause,” in his wife’s harsh assessment, wanting another chance at life.
Of the two performers, Duff has the harder time finding a physical correlative for Mona’s decline; that’s the sort of thing movies do so much better. McDonald, by contrast, animates from the inside out the conflicts obsessing a man who wants to do better both at work and at home in a city where, he says, “nobody gives a damn about us.” He at least admits to a problem and joins AA, whereas the very word “alcoholic” sends Mona into a rage.
Designer Alison Chitty — a regular Gill collaborator — keeps the Donmar stage antiseptically clean, various props lined up against a back wall whose overhead walkway doubles for the couple’s beloved Westminster Bridge. And as the scene-change music hurtles us across a turbulent decade, the performers never once leave the stage, their own hurt amplified exponentially by their shining faces at the start, before happiness was defined by the hip flask.


It is the individual regions that establish the order of vaccinations in their territories, but within a national vaccination plan which is divided into phases. The first to get vaccinated will be health workers and older people. Vaccination is free and guaranteed to all, not mandatory.
For now in Italy only the vaccine is available Pfizer, of which about 470 thousand doses arrive a week. Between today and tomorrow the approval of the European and Italian pharmaceutical agencies should also arrive for the Moderna serum.
The longer the times for the vaccine AstraZeneca that Britain has already administered and Mexico just approved. The European Agency should not give the green light before the end of the month and will probably only do so for those under the age of 55 because the experimentation was carried out mainly on subjects of this age group. In the world there are 59 vaccines in trial including Italian Reithera which is not expected to see approval before September.
This is the vaccination plan for Italy:
PHASE 1 FROM JANUARY TO MARCH
In these first months, both public and private health and social health workers working in affiliated structures are the first to be vaccinated. With them it is the turn of residents and staff of senior homes. To these are added the over eighty. The categories concerned are 5% of the Italian population. However, there are local differences. Emilia-Romagna started doctors, nurses and residents of the RSA in parallel. Other regions do all medical personnel first. Tuscany is also vaccinating the medical graduates who are in the wards, among them the first Italian athlete, Matteo Restivo, the blue swimmer studying at the University of Florence, received the first dose.
PHASE 2 FROM APRIL TO JUNE
It gets to cover 15% of Italians in this second phase. It’s up to people aged 60 to 79, to people of all ages (children under 16 are excluded from the vaccine) who have chronic diseases, immunodeficiencies or disabilities. Hence the population considered at risk of serious illness and the school staff.
PHASE 3 FROM JULY TO SEPTEMBER
This phase covers the 50% of Italians. The vaccination of school staff ends and that of essential service workers begins. It is vaccinated in prisons and community places. It is then up to people of all ages who suffer from more moderate pathologies.
PHASE 4 FROM OCTOBER TO DECEMBER
Coverage should come to 90% of Italians including all the excluded population. Children under the age of 16 are always out of the plan and await further vaccine studies.


As a national nonprofit organization, CareQuest Institute is in the business of improving lives by creating a more accessible, equitable, and integrated oral health system across the U.S., especially for those from marginalized and underserved communities.To be successful in their mission, CareQuest needs to use their data in an informed and impactful way for grantmaking, research, health improvement programs, policy and advocacy, as well as education. It’s a tall order, but one that is achievable with a successful data strategy.CareQuest already had an idea of certain areas that were limiting the value and support that their data was providing the business. They realized there was more power and insight in their data that they could — and should — be leveraging to better serve their customers and the community.The first step to unleashing the power of their data was to start with a strategic data assessment to better understand what needed attention, where to prioritize, and how to best build out a data strategy roadmap to support their mission.Starting with a Strategic Data Assessment to Identify Gaps and Plan Improvements For CareQuest to expand their services to help even more communities, they needed to understand:What was required — time and cost — to become technology independent from their affiliate company, DentaQuest.How a new data architecture would impact both internal and external initiatives.What to put in place — people and processes — to support their growing organization and its mission.Why is a strategic data assessment important? “It’s a way to identify the best path to provide business value. We have conversations with all stakeholders–business team, data team, IT, etc. — to understand their pain points, thread the needle through those challenges, and provide solutions that will enable them to do their job better using data.” – Rebecca Zeni, Data and Analytics ConsultantCareQuest engaged Analytics8 to perform a strategic data assessment. Through the process, we interviewed 24 stakeholders across the organization, evaluated their existing landscape, and reviewed data documentation to capture their current state and challenges to achieving their goals.We asked questions such as:How are you currently moving data? Are there immediate concerns with this process?What is being utilized as an operational/analytical tool? How do you want to use this?How are manual processes creating bottlenecks?What needs to be moved from DentaQuest to CareQuest, and why?Step 1: Start with your own data strategy assessmentBuilding a Roadmap that Addresses Key Elements of a Data StrategyBased on those initial conversations and evaluations, we identified key areas of focus CareQuest needed to address in order to meet their goals, including: Business AlignmentPositioning CareQuest’s data strategy and the activities within to directly support their mission of achieving better health for all helped in several ways. The early access to stakeholder insights earned us executive support, buy-in across the organization, and momentum for the project. It also allowed us to:Prioritize the data and analytics initiativesUnderstand business user objectives and technology needs to get their jobs doneMake informed decisions about data organization, architecture, and modelingIdentify opportunities for low-hanging fruit that would provide immediate value and a basis for future iterationsWhy is alignment with the business strategy the single most important part of building a data strategy? “A common quote that we hear from companies is that they have lots of data but no insights. This is an indicator of misalignment between business strategy and data strategy. The biggest risk to any data or analytics project is that it is not aligned to the business objectives or business needs.” – Christina Salmi, Managing DirectorData MaturityAlthough CareQuest exhibited characteristics within different analytics and data maturity levels, they were somewhere between ‘Reactive’ and ‘Defined’. As we worked through the data strategy assessment, we identified key areas for improvement to move to the next level of maturity, including:Building the infrastructure and team to provide and promote data democratizationAdding additional staffing positions to support growthMigration to the cloud and leveraging modern technologiesRemoving technological dependency from DentaQuestDeveloping tech stack to house a single source of truth with both a data lake and data warehouseWe use the Analytics8 Maturity Model to define where our clients are today and what it would take to move them forward on the scale.Modern Data ArchitectureTo support their business objectives, we needed to design a future-proof, scalable solution for CareQuest— one that considered:The need for independent data management and securityDifferent types of users — data analysts, data engineers, BI developers, etc. — and the unique data needs of eachAutomating data integration from disparate data sources and creating a single source of truthPromoting data democratizationWe made recommendations specific to CareQuest’s current and future needs and suggested implementing a modern cloud technology and architecture that would support the range of their data management needs and planned growth in research and analysis, as well as support data ingestion for organizational initiatives.The right-fit data architecture for CareQuest was Azure Data Lake as a persistent staging layer and for ad hoc data science and analysis requests, and a data warehouse in Snowflake for curated and modeled data, as well to support self-service analytics.Team Structure and SkillsTo support new processes as well as a new data architecture, we assessed the existing data analytics team’s skillset. Some of the challenges we heard included:Too many informal requests of data analysts and data engineers; not able to effectively prioritizeSome data requests are asked for more than onceThe team is stretched thinCleaning data when it is needed rather than when it comes inLack of collaboration organization wideAs we built the data strategy roadmap, we included recommendations for:Training and user enablement for new technology and self-serve analytics for everyone, not just the data analysts and engineersData literacy for internal and external users, as well as the need for a data catalog, so that everyone in the organization understands what data is available and what it meansTeam roles and structure, especially as the company grows, to support data-driven decision making across the businessData Governance ProgramThroughout the assessment, we worked with an existing data governance committee at CareQuest to better understand the challenges, which included:Data was not always conformed and there were multiple definitions for the same terms throughout the organizationThere was a need for compliance with HIPAA and HI-TECH before they could be technologically independentIt was unclear what data was available, or what metrics might be contained in a reportThere wasn’t any standard documentation, and files were difficult to findData governance should be practical, maintainable, and proportional so that it leads to high quality data.After evaluating their current state, we suggested key areas to get started with including:Identifying governance standards and processes that were previously handled by DentaQuest and would now need to be adopted by CareQuestBuilding a data catalog to address concerns over data literacy and improve data transparencyCulture Change and AdoptionWith any change comes the need to ensure everyone involved understands what is happening, and how they play in a role in making it happen. Throughout the entire process, from assessment to designing their data strategy roadmap, CareQuest communicated intentions and progress to everyone in the organization and this was key to their success.Stakeholders in each department were accessible and played an active role throughout the process, making it easier to design a data strategy with user adoption in mind, cater to the needs of the business and prioritize data projects that were immediately valuable to the business, and build momentum around culture change across the organization. Business users began to perceive the possibilities of data differently and were prepared — and excited — for the upcoming changes. Culminating the Data Strategy Initiatives into a Roadmap With a clear understanding of the big picture and top areas of focus, we built a data strategy roadmap for CareQuest that included a backlog of 45 prioritized use cases — homing in on the low hanging fruit and urgent priorities such as technology independence, while also building a solid foundation to make progress toward — and prioritize — any new goals.How do you work through prioritizing use cases when building out a data strategy roadmap? “We use a business prioritization matrix based on technical feasibility and business value derived from the conversations we have with stakeholders. It’s important to keep in mind, that things can change along the way. CareQuest was a fantastic client to work with because not only were they active in giving us feedback on the use case prioritization, but they went the extra step and weighted different values for different things. The communicated any changes early and often.” – Rebecca ZeniStep 2: Develop your own data strategy roadmapA data strategy roadmap helps you prioritize your use cases, as well as any design, build, training, or re-engineering of a business process. The data strategy roadmap had multiple phases with associated time, costs, and necessary resources for:Modern cloud technology and a new architecture stackA plan to migrate and ingest data sourcesStaffing and training recommendationsData governance programConsolidation to one analytics platformA plan to prioritize use cases with quick wins and foundational projectsData Strategy Leads to Impactful Changes for CareQuest Planning, communication, and executive buy-in and support all contributed to CareQuest’s success and quick progress in increasing analytic maturity. With renewed trust in and accessibility to the data, CareQuest is seeing progress toward their organizational goals.Improved analytical capabilities to enhance and expand service offeringsCareQuest can rely on analytics to monitor and uncover correlations and indicators of medical and dental health for the communities they serve. They are also able to see gaps in oral health access and care for specific populations, such as veterans. This information helps them identify where and how they can improve their offerings.Improved data democratization and self-serviceCareQuest implemented a self-service dashboard that provides analytics to business users, who in turn share insights with the public for advocacy and educational purposes — further promoting CareQuest’s mission.Established data governance practicesThe development of a business glossary template and data catalog, along with updated security practices improved the role of data governance. Additionally, CareQuest’s external partners can feel confident with the robust security, confidentiality, and integrity of the data and analytics environment, creating more opportunities to collaborate with data and gain powerful insights which will improve people’s lives.


NRL Star Jadyn Su'A Charged With Ugly Hair Pull That Denied Rival A Try
| Last updated
St George second rower Jadyn Su’A has landed himself in hot water following a nasty hair pull on Luciano Leilua as the Cowboys player was racing away to score a try.
The Dragons player looked desperate as Leilua steamed through a gap in the 54th minute, throwing out an arm and grabbing a clump of hair to deny the Cowboys player a certain try.
North Queensland were awarded a penalty, however, Leilua looked almost certain to get the ball over the line before he was taken down in an unsportsmanlike manner.
Storm legend Bill Slater said: “I think if the hair’s not there he’s gone.”
Whilst Mat Thomspson hilariously quipped: “There’s a plus for going bald.”
Fans online surprisingly were hardly on the side of Leilua in the ordeal, instead taking the opportunity to throw shade at his haircut.
One fan tweeted: “Get a haircut and won’t be a problem.”
Another said: “How about these idiots with stupid haircuts get a trim?”
The referee seemed to show some sense, however, with the Su’A placed on report for the attempted ‘tackle’ with the moment coming at an intense time of the game with the Dragons down by just two points at the time of the tackle.
However, the Cowboys managed to score just moments after the penalty and went on to steamroll their way to a hefty 34-8 win at Kogarah Oval.
The loss wasn’t the last of Su’A’s sorrows, however, with the match review committee, today (August 1) charging him with grade one contrary conduct.
Get a haircut and won’t be a problem— Liam O'Loughlin (@ljoloughlin) July 31, 2022
Su’A faces a $1,800 fine if he takes an early guilty plea, but if he fights the charge and loses he will instead be charged $2,500.
Considering the pretty damning evidence against the Samoan international, he’d perhaps be smart to take the early guilty plea.
Luckily for Su’A, he avoids a playing ban from the match committee.
In the same match, Jason Taumalolo was charged with a grade one shoulder charge on Blake Lawrie, also avoiding suspension, however, copping a $3,000 fine for the illegal shot.
If he chooses to challenge the charge and loses he will miss two weeks of the season.
Dragons' loss keeps them out of the top eight, meanwhile, the Cowboys have had a stellar season and find themselves in second position on the ladder.

Condom prices in Puerto Rico are cheap and aren't going up any time soon.
The government of Puerto Rico has ordered a price freeze on condoms in an effort to prevent the spread of the Zika virus.
Any store that hikes prices to try to capitalize on people's fears of the virus will be fined up to $10,000. Other items on the price-freeze list: insect repellent, hand sanitizer and tissues.
Puerto Rico has had 9 confirmed cases of the Zika virus so far, according to the Centers for Disease Control. That's more than any other state or U.S. territory. Puerto Rico's Department of Health says there have been 63 confirmed cases, including three pregnant women. The island's governor has declared a public health emergency.
It's just one of many crises in Puerto Rico right now. Home values are plunging on the island, people are fleeing because of the terrible economy, and the government is massively in debt.

A former Manhattan Beach fire chief has filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the city, asking a judge to reinstate him with back pay after he was fired last year for what he said was retaliation following complaints he made about problems with a computer-aided dispatch system and the vendor hired to upgrade it.
Ex-Fire Chief Daryn Drum’s Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit said Manhattan Beach wrongfully terminated him, retaliated against him for whistleblowing on what he said was an outdated computer system, violated his freedom of speech rights, and intentionally inflicted emotional distress. Drum asked for unspecified damages in the suit filed Friday, Sept. 10; the lawsuit names as defendants Manhattan Beach and City Manager Bruce Moe.
Moe, in an email Monday, Sept. 13, declined to comment, which he said is city policy for pending litigation.
Manhattan Beach’s computer-aided dispatch system was so old, according to Drum’s suit, that the vendor that built the original one was no longer able to provide ongoing support for it.
Drum, the suit said, told Moe multiple times that he was “extremely concerned” with the ability of Mark 43, the vendor platform hired to replace the CAD system, to deliver a safe, effective and reliable product. Although Moe said he shared Drum’s concerns, according to the suit, the city manager “failed to take meaningful, lasting steps to address them for the safety of the inhabitants of the city.”
Drum was fired in June 2020, a little more than a year after he took on the top spot in the Fire Department. At the time, the city said he was fired because of comments he made that were viewed as insensitive.
The city released audio of Drum speaking during a June 16, 2020, meeting of the South Bay Regional Public Communications Authority, which dispatches fire services for Manhattan Beach. During that meeting, according to the audio, Drum used the metaphor “not taking our foot off their throat” multiple times when referring to negotiations with Mark 43.
“I’m comfortable continuing to move forward, but not letting our guard down,” Drum said during the meeting, according to his suit.
“And pardon my vernacular, but not taking our foot of their throat either,” he added. “I think your foot needs to be clearly on their throat, and they need to feel it and they need to feel that constant pressure every single day that we mean business.”
Those comments came less than a month after George Floyd, a Black man, was murdered by Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin, a White man, on May 25, 2020.
But Drum, now 56, made no reference to any news topics or incidents involving law enforcement at the meeting and police and fire chiefs present agreed with his comments and sentiment, the suit said.
Five days earlier, Drum participated in a podcast with Manhattan Beach Police Chief Derrick Abell during which he expressed his support for police and the difficult job they have.
“You’re one good shooting away from civil unrest,” Drum said, using the word “good” to describe something of a noticeably large size or quantity, the suit said.
Neither Abell nor Moe — or any other city official — expressed concern with Drum’s comments, according to his court papers.
But later that same month, Drum was instructed to meet with Moe and other city officials and was pressured to resign, the suit said.
“Drum asked for the chance to think about this difficult, important decision and speak to his family about it over the weekend,” the suit said, “but he was not allowed to do so.”
Moe then told Drum that he was being fired, the suit said. City officials did not give Drum prior notice that he was going to be reprimanded or fired for his remarks, the suit said.
Moe, for his part, said after Drum’s firing that the city needs “thoughtful leaders offering voices that are open and inclusive.”
“Chief Drum’s recent comments do not reflect our core values as a city,” Moe added, “and an immediate change of Fire Department leadership is in the community’s best interests.”
Moe also put Drum’s comments in the context of Floyd’s death, which sparked nationwide protests and renewed calls for police reform.
“In retrospect, they could be considered (as) insensitive, especially given the pain our society is grappling with today,” Moe said. “On reflection, we should have addressed his comments at the time.”
Moe’s public statement, however, implied that Drum was a racist, the suit said.
In May of this year, a hearing officer who considered Drum’s appeal of his firing released a report that said the former chief’s dismissal was appropriate. The City Council in July voted to accept the hearing officer’s recommendation, the suit said.
“As a direct result of Moe’s and the City Council’s decision, the sterling reputation Drum built over the course of 30 years in emergency services was destroyed overnight,” the suit said, “which effectively precluded his chances of obtaining alternative employment in his field.”

Pain is a common experience for many people, and various factors, such as injury, inflammation, or chronic conditions, can cause it. While pain medications like ibuprofen and aspirin can relieve symptoms, they often have side effects like stomach upset and dizziness. A topical gel is an excellent option for those who want to avoid these side effects or seek an alternative form of pain relief. This article will explore the top benefits of using topical gel for muscle pain.
Topical gels can be applied directly to the affected area, providing targeted relief for pain and inflammation. This is particularly useful for localized pain, such as in the joints or muscles. By applying the gel directly to the affected area, you can avoid the systemic effects of oral medications and focus on treating the specific source of your pain.
Fewer Side Effects:
Many pain medications can cause side effects like stomach upset, dizziness, and drowsiness. Topical gels, on the other hand, are generally well-tolerated and have fewer side effects. This is because the medication is applied directly to the skin and doesn’t have to pass through the digestive system or liver. While there may be some mild skin irritation or allergic reactions, these are generally rare and easily managed.
One of the biggest concerns with pain medications is the risk of addiction. Opioid painkillers, in particular, can be highly addictive, leading to an opioid epidemic in many parts of the world. Topical creams and ointments, however, are not addictive and do not pose the same risk of dependency. This makes them a safe and effective alternative for those concerned about the potential for addiction.
Easy to Use:
The gel which is easily usable and requires no special equipment or preparation is a topical gel for muscle pain. Apply it to the affected area and massage it gently. The gel will absorb into the skin and provide relief within a few minutes. This makes topical medications ideal for those who have difficulty swallowing pills or prefer a more hands-on approach to pain management.
Wide Range of Formulations:
Topical medications come in a wide range of formulations, each with unique benefits. Some gels contain nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or diclofenac, which help reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Other gels contain capsaicin, a natural compound found in chili peppers, which can help block pain signals and reduce inflammation. Still, others contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic that can help numb the affected area and provide temporary relief.
No Prescription Required:
Many topical creams are available over-the-counter, meaning you don’t need a prescription to purchase them. This makes them a convenient option for those who need pain relief but don’t want to go through the hassle of visiting a doctor or filling a prescription.
Safe for Long-Term Use:
Creams and ointments are generally safe for long-term use, making them suitable for those with chronic pain or ongoing conditions like arthritis. Because they are applied externally and don’t have to pass through the digestive system, there is less risk of gastrointestinal complications like ulcers or bleeding, which can be a concern with oral pain medications.
Topical gels are a safe, effective, and convenient option for those looking for pain relief without the side effects of oral medications or the risk of addiction. They provide targeted relief, have fewer side effects, and come in a wide range of formulations, making them suitable for various pain types.

I’m pleased to announce that I’ve just put the finishing touches on the second draft of “The Wrong House in the Woods,” a feature-length micro-budget horror screenplay of epic B-horror slasher proportions–a truly unique slasher. The logline for this film reads:
When their van breaks down in the woods, a fashion photography crew, along with a witty make-up artist, become trapped in an isolated mansion inhabited by a maniacal killer who, with his gruesome sidekick, start to prey, forcing the crew to stop the killer before he guts them all.
I began this screenplay about three weeks ago after spending serious study-time within the realm of micro-budget horror films such as “Blood Runs Cold,” “The Last House in the Woods,” “Primal,” “The Last House on Dead End Street,” and “Some Kind of Hate.” My goal was not to imitate these films, but rather write a screenplay that, like them, was confined to a limited isolated location. And, I believe I accomplished what I set out to do.
As it stands now, there is only one primary location in the film (a house in the woods), along with the surrounding woods, empty roads at night, and more woods. There are six main cast members and an additional six cast members that only briefly appear, but are well utilized.
It’s interesting writing within the scope of intentional limitations. It forced me to solve script problems without reaching for more (without reaching outward), but rather reaching for more depth within a scene, reaching for what makes a scene compelling. I also wanted to focus on the realistic possibility of this script eventually getting produced. I often read about calls for micro-budget horror scripts and now I have one. If you are an entertainment professional and would like a PDF copy of this script, please get in touch.

Florence, Italy – In the year of its 100th anniversary, Gucci celebrates its heritage while remaining resolutely turned towards the future.
In collaboration with the men’s salon Pitti Uomo, the brand unveiled its archives here, a striking 30,138 square foot space designed by creative director Alessandro Michele to bring together the brand’s creations under one roof and pay homage to its 100 years. of history.
A few press guests were escorted inside the building, crossing the colonnaded courtyard filtering the blinding sun of a blustery, sky-blue morning in Florence, and were invited to explore the space tucked away in the cobbled Via delle. Caldaie in the Santo Spirito neighborhood.
The archives are kept inside the 16th century Palazzo Settimanni, whose records date back to 1427, located on the left bank of the Arno, where craftsmen and artists set up their workshops and workshops and where the city’s aristocracy has built their sumptuous villas near the Palazzo Pitti, where the Medici family had settled.
The Palazzo Settimanni was acquired by Gucci in 1953 and over the course of seven decades has been adapted to contain the brand’s first Florentine factory, as well as workshops and a showroom. Signs of its past could be seen in its restored version run by the house under the direction of Michele, who sought to return the multi-layered space to its ancient beauty.
The five-storey archives, including the ground floor and the basement, have been stripped of a few recent additions to reveal traces of decorations, trompe-l’oeil frescoes and murals, which are spread out over three centuries from the 17th to the 19th. Renovations to the palace included removing a 90s cladding from the entrance hall to let natural light filter through the portico.
As a nod to its versatile past and the surrounding neighborhood teeming with workshops, Gucci enlisted local artisans to work on the renovation, including the terracotta tiling seen on several floors.
Details such as furniture, display cases, down to the lamps and handles on each door – the latter cast in the shape of scissors – were meant to exalt the craftsmanship of the house, which the archives aim to highlight and enhance. preserve.
“The Palazzo Settimanni, now free of previous additions, is transformed into a magical place to which I have given a feeling of porosity: you walk through it, the air enters it, you can walk through it as if it were ‘a travel. I am porous, absorbent, permeable, ”explains Michele. “I gave the palace an aura of a fairy tale that, for example, allows the small entrance hall to become a gateway to a dreamlike dimension. I envisioned it as a sort of secret place within the house, an interior sanctuary from which one leaves for the holy lands of Gucci, ”he said.
Gucci enlisted the help of Valerie Steele, director and chief curator of the Fashion Institute of Technology Museum, who offered her curatorial eye for the layout of some of the spaces.
“The archives are a palace of memory,” she said. “Far from being a dusty granary, it is a dynamic system of knowledge and inspiration production. Archives are based on the desire to collect and categorize objects from the past, not out of nostalgia, but because the style of the objects evolves over time. This relationship to time means that a brand like Gucci, which has 100 years of history, is developing archives in order to bring tangible cultural heritage to life, today and for the future.
Each room of the three exhibition floors inside the palace is dedicated to a different theme – and product category – in homage to the brand’s history and named after Michele’s lexicon for the house, including “Radura” grouping together ceramics and household items; “Herbarium” for vintage stationery and “Maison de L’Amour” for hobby items from the 60s and 70s, which included vintage syrup cups and even an offbeat mirror framed by a gold cone.
The ground floor is entirely dedicated to accessories, with vintage handbags taking center stage in the “Swan” room, where different versions of iconic styles, including Bamboo and Jackie bags, are on display inside. glass and steel cases and trace their evolution over the years – while proving their ability to stand the test of time. A 1955 handbag featured the original horse bit which has become a signature element of the house. Many styles are meticulously preserved inside cabinets with a handle in the shape of a ship’s wheel, as in the “Hortus Deliciarum” room, the old palace garden with an ancient fountain.
The adjacent mirror room, called ‘Le Marché des Merveilles’, showcases the house’s jewelry creations over the years, while the small leather goods and luggage creations each have a dedicated space on the ground floor. . In particular, the luggage is exhibited inside the room “1921 Rifondazione”, named after the year the company was founded.
The first floor is dedicated to ready-to-wear, shoes and textile accessories such as scarves, twills and ties, including some scarves featuring patterns that the illustrator and painter Vittorio Accornero de Testa created for the brand, like the signature Flora motif developed in 1966 The painter’s preparatory drawings on paper hang on the walls. Other rooms upstairs house rtw pieces and shoes, cataloged according to the year and season in which they were first presented. Here, too, the rooms are named after Michele’s lexicon, with nicknames such as “Blind For Love” and “Alchemist’s Garden”.
Celebrating its credentials on the red carpet, Gucci installed a room called “Serapis,” which houses a life-size high-tech treasure chest. On request and with the help of a dedicated technician, the chest opens to reveal some of Michele’s best-known red carpet dresses hanging from models, including looks sported by celebrities such as Lana Del Rey, Bjork and Dakota Johnson.
“My task was to bring many items home, virtually helping them return to the family. Towards a place which ostensibly preserves the past, but which is in reality a bridge to the contemporary. An old building is a living being. Like fashion, ”Michele said.
Aiming at the space to bridge the past and present of the legendary house, the Gucci Archives – which are not open to the public – are also set to host the Gucci Education initiative, which provides employees with education and training opportunities. The Florentine space will accompany the brand’s online education platform and community, which already offers training in areas such as retail, supply chain, digital and human resources.
As indicated, in 2018, Gucci also set up the “School of Love” workshop, organized in the company’s ArtLab industrial complex dedicated to leather goods and shoes, which it named the same year in Scandicci, near Florence.

[KUALA LUMPUR] Malaysian property developer Eco World Development Group said on Thursday regulatory approval has been obtained for a proposed domestic initial public offering of its unit that is expected to raise at least RM2.15 billion (S$740.25 million).
The proposed IPO of Eco World International Bhd (EWI) will fund projects in the United Kingdom and Australia and repay borrowings, according to an Eco World Development Group statement.
Eco World Development Group expects to hold up to 30 per cent of EWI's share capital after the IPO, it said.
The property developer had earlier planned to list EWI as a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) before axing that plan in June when it decided to list it on the local bourse as an ordinary firm.
Maybank Investment, CIMB Investment and Hong Leong Investment are joint principal advisers for the IPO, the company said.

Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has recommended a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe over the non-standard drugs being supplied to government hospitals in the national capital.
In a note to the Chief Secretary, Mr Saxena said it was concerning that these medicines, tested in private and government laboratories, turned out to be not of standard quality. He said these medicines were being given to lakhs of patients across government hospitals in Delhi and were possibly being supplied to the mohalla clinics.
As per the report of the Directorate of Vigilance on the substandard drugs matter, three of the 43 samples sent to government laboratories failed the quality test, while 12 reports were still pending. Out of another 43 samples sent to private labs, five samples failed to adhere to quality standards and 38 samples were found of standard quality.
Meanwhile, the Delhi BJP criticized the Kejriwal government in Delhi and demanded the resignation of the Chief Minister on the issue of the supply of non-standard drugs in government hospitals.
Addressing a joint press conference in New Delhi, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari said that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal betrayed the people of Delhi by indulging in corrupt practices. State President Virend Sachdeva also slammed Kejriwal and said the party will hold protests all over Delhi to expose the corruption of the AAP. Mr Sachdeva also demanded the resignation of Kejriwal and said it is not a matter of corruption but they are paying with the lives of the people.
