Residents are encouraged to check bus routes online.
In its last City Council meeting in 2023, council discussed the next steps forward in responding to homelessness in Airdrie.
As part of its response, the city has commissioned a homelessness study in the city to have a more comprehensive understanding of, 'the vulnerable and unsheltered population in the community and options for moving forward.'
However, in its more immediate response, the city added that last month they had met with 15 community stakeholders that represent 10 community social serving organizations to discuss and develop policies around extreme cold weather events.
"Additionally, the administration is meeting with representatives from key city departments to discuss the short-term action. While the short-term action just described steps towards helping to protect the health and safety of unsheltered individuals, it does not solve the issue of homelessness in Airdrie," city officials previously stated.
Currently, Airdrie does not have a 24-hour emergency shelter or other social housing programs, such as the ones that provide services to the unhoused and vulnerable populations in Calgary.

MHS Genesis has been deployed at the Fairchild Air Force Base near Spokane, Washington.
A small piece of a years-long effort to revamp military health records is finally live, after a new IT system was deployed last week at an Air Force base in Spokane, Washington.
The electronic health record platform, Military Health System GENESIS, or MHS GENESIS, is now in use at the Fairchild Air Force base. The Defense Department plans to observe how it functions at that site first before installing it at other sites in the Pacific Northwest—possibly as soon as June.
The new system is intended to let patient records flow seamlessly between health care providers covering military beneficiaries and to allow patients to view their own records and test results online. Interoperability with both Veterans Affairs Department, as well as private health care providers, are also key goals.
For now, providers can use MHS GENESIS to track down records for patients at other sites, even if those sites haven’t yet upgraded, by using a “legacy viewer” feature, officials told reporters Wednesday.

At Fairchild, MHS GENESIS replaces the existing patient care online portals RelayHealth and MiCare.
Eventually, MHS Genesis will house the records for more than 9.4 million DOD beneficiaries and the Defense Healthcare Management Systems office is aiming for total deployment by 2022, Program Executive Officer Stacy Cummings said.
The initial deployment is part of a larger contract, under the office of the DOD Healthcare Management System Modernization. In 2015 the Pentagon awarded the $4.3 billion project, intended to revamp medical records across the department, to Leidos, Cerner and Accenture.
In its first week, MHS GENESIS encountered a few minor challenges, including the need to retrain employees to use the new interface, Col. Margaret Carey, commander at the 92nd Medical Group at Fairchild, told reporters. Though user training began in September, some users had since forgotten how to navigate to certain features, such as the scheduler. In future sites, the team may move the training closer to deployment.
Ideally, the online system would let disparate health care providers work together on one patient, Air Force Surgeon General Lt. Gen. Mark Ediger told reporters. Providers could aggregate input about an individual from nutritionists, disease management specialists and others to provide holistic treatment.
The Pentagon started its EHR effort by deploying the system in the Pacific Northwest because patients from across the services are represented, Cummings said.

How Jhunjhunwala grilled the top brass of his favourite bet Titan
Jhunjhunwala sought clarity on bonus and gratuity that Titan gives to its employees.
The Tata Group firm reported 70.86 per cent jump in consolidated net profit at Rs 304.41 crore for the quarter ended March 31 against Rs 178.16 crore posted for the same quarter of 2016-17.
Jhunjhunwala’s cumulative holdings in Titan in the name of Jhunjhunwala Rakesh Radheyshyam, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala and Jhunjhunwala Rekha Rakesh stood at 8.46 per cent as of March 31, 2018.
At a conference call post Q4 earnings, Jhunjhunwala sought clarity on bonus and gratuity that Titan gives to its employees.
“Is the bonus that you provide one-time? The gratuity to employees is one-time, I understand. Where is the dividend in respective businesses?” he asked.
The management representatives replied that the bonus is done one-time and it depends on performance and it is only a practice, not a policy.
“It is not part of the CTC. When we perform way above our own internal plans, this is something which is shared with the employees. From that perspective, it is a one-time for the quarter. It does not get amortised over the years. It is given at the end of the year,” the Titan top brass clarified.
During the quarter, the company made provisions for impairment for a Rs 75 crore investments it had made in Favre Leuba. It was triggered by slower-than-expected takeoff.
Jhunjhunwala further asked how much the company proposes to write off in the coming quarters.
“We do not expect to write off any further, but we have just been conservative in our accounting,” said Bhaskar Bhat, Managing Director, Titan. He said the company would continue to invest for five years.
Jhunjhunwala was also keen to know the company’s investment, writeoff and business plans.
On investment plans, Bhat said the magnitude was of Rs 200 crore. “When we see the business model working, only then shall we take a decision to make larger investments,” Bhat said.
Out of the planned investment, the company has already invested Rs 145 crore. It will invest another Rs 55 crore and then take a decision whether to invest further or not.
Titan saw a drop in margin in the watch business to 8 per cent in Q4FY18 from 15.50 per cent in Q3FY18. The company clarified to Jhunjhunwala that this was because of exceptional thing because of a stockists.
“We took back stocks from RS, because we are consolidating them into other RS. We did not sell to them and, therefore, there was a drop in sales,” CFO S Subramaniam said.
On a year-to-date basis, share price of Titan has rallied 9 per cent to Rs 931 as of May 16 from Rs 853.60 on January 1.

Prom, Death and Sexual Assault: Getting decked out eats up a big chunk of prom budgets For girls, going to prom is all about the dress, and finding the perfect one at the right price is no easy task. Students who do get caught drinking and driving this year could face serious ramifications.
A poll done by Students against Destructive Decisions and Drugfree.
While consuming too much alcohol is dangerous for teenagers, this danger is only increased when they get behind the wheel of a car. Since teens must have insurance coverage to drive, the insurer should pay for losses the accident has caused, even if a The issue of drunk driving in the prom season teen driver has no assets which belong directly to him.
A survey conducted by PEMCO Insurance found that while 51 percent of adults said parents should forbid their child from going to an after-prom party where alcohol would be present, another 20 percent gave it the thumbs up as long as the event would be chaperoned.
According to Liberty Mutual, 54 percent of teens who admitted to drinking during or after the prom said they consumed four or more alcoholic beverages. On the other hand, 1 in 10 teens, who said they never drove under the influence, admitted to occasionally driving after drinking alcohol.
They wind up with a criminal record, which can be even more serious if they were involved in accidents. The drugs causing or contributing to the impairment need not be illegal, but can consist of lawfully prescribed or over-the-counter medication.
There are other risks to keep in mind Sexually transmitted diseases are becoming increasingly common among teens. The threshold for DUI impairment under Tennessee law is much lower for drivers who are under 21 than for drivers who are over According to Huffington Postthere are more accidents in which teen drivers are killed during prom season than there are at any other time of the year.
The season for prom and grad parties is not that far away. Checking in with your child throughout the night, knowing where he or she is, who else is around, and waiting up for your child to get home are simple precautionary steps parents can take to help ensure that a teenager makes it home safely at the end of prom night.
This is significantly lower than the 0. Under Tennessee Code Annotated allowing or enabling an underage person to obtain alcohol is a criminal offense.
Prom season may be a prime time for drunk driving accidents, so it is good to remind young drivers of the dangers of drinking and driving. Officers noted that some of the problems are just that students may not be informed and may not really understand the risk. A Liberty Mutual survey of nearly 2, juniors and seniors found that just 20 percent believe being on the roads on prom night is dangerous.
To address this serious issue, the firefighters and police in Clearwater, Florida, gave a mock drunk driving accident presentation to students at two area high schools. If you are a parent whose child will be participating in these events, there are many plans to be made.
Thus, for all practical purposes, this is the same as the simple dimensionless BAC measured as a percent. When teens believe everyone is doing something, they are more likely to think they will be OK if they also do the same thing.
Driving while consuming alcohol is generally illegal. Augustine and throughout the state. But girls have reason to be cautious Numerous research efforts show that sexual violence involving teens is becoming increasingly common.
With college and a promising career on the line, students and their parents need to know all of their legal defense options to protect their future. They also said that all of these crashes are preventable.
Plus, young people as a group often struggle with distractions, so having so many of them on the road at the same time can be problematic. According to another survey from MADD, teens whose parents view underage drinking as totally unacceptable are 80 percent less likely to drink compared to their peers whose parents are more lenient about it.
Statistics show roughly a third of alcohol-related teen traffic fatalities occur between April and June, which is considered the peak of prom season.
Not only that, a teen may also be more likely to get into a car as a passenger when the driver is impaired if the teen thinks drunk driving is just a common part of prom night. One trooper said that prom did not just lead to drunk driving, but to an increase in distracted driving overall.
These penalties are not as severe as for those 21 or older. Moreover, as many as one-third of teen drunk driving traffic deaths take place during the months of April through June.
In fact, US News and World Report indicated 90 percent of teenagers responding to a survey said they thought their peers would be driving drunk during prom. Of nearly 13, students who responded, just 5 percent of girls and 3 percent of boys said they lost their virginity after prom.
Yet, many young adults will drink and drive after prom night or around graduation time when celebrating with friends. But their influence counts with teens Once kids hit the teenage years, they seem to tune out just about everything their parents have to say, but moms and dads can get through with a little persistence.
When you drive drunk you endanger not only your own life, but the lives of your passengers and the lives of other innocent drivers. Parents should make sure teen drivers have safe transportation so they do not become involved in fatal drunk driving accidents after a prom event.
Parents are split on whether to allow drinking Parents today face some unique challenges when it comes to how they raise their kids, and tackling the alcohol issue is definitely one of them.Drunk-driving fatalities have fallen by a third in the last three decades; however, drunk-driving crashes claim more than 10, lives per year.
Inthe most recent year for which cost data is available, these deaths and damages contributed to a cost of $44B per year. Prevent Drunk Driving This Prom Season Free Consultation Prom season can be one of the most memorable nights of a teenagers life, but it may also be one of the most dangerous if alcohol is involved.
Keep your teens free from drunk driving at the prom with these tips.
Prom season should be a very joyous time. But that joy can quickly turn to tragedy if teens or young adults drive while impaired by drugs and cause a serious or fatal accident.

Drinking and driving on prom night can cause deadly consequences and change lives forever. No prom season should end in tragedy. When you drive drunk you endanger not only your own life, but the lives of your passengers and the lives of other innocent drivers. Prom season may be a prime time for drunk driving accidents, so it is good to remind young drivers of the dangers of drinking and driving.
Doing so could potentially lower the number of drunk drivers on the road, and, therefore, reduce the number of drunk driving accidents that occur this time of year in St. Augustine and throughout the state.Download

Sessions, Roundtables Planned for LCRR
In a recent announcement, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has released a schedule of upcoming public listening sessions and roundtables regarding its Lead and Copper Rule Revisions.
The meetings have been created to ensure that communities and stakeholders will have the opportunity to provide their perspectives to the agency on protections from lead in drinking water.
“Lower-income communities and communities of color are often disproportionately exposed to lead, which can cause life-long negative effects,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “Today, we are inviting these communities and other stakeholders to share their perspectives so that EPA can ensure that its review of the revised Lead and Copper Rule is grounded in their lived experience.”
Lead and Copper Rule
On Oct. 10, 2019, the EPA proposed a rule amendment that would be the first significant overhaul of the Lead and Copper Rule since 1991. At the time, the proposal both marked Children’s Health Month and acted as a step forward for the Trump administration’s plan to reduce childhood exposure to lead.
The proposal is a holistic rule amendment and was announced by EPA Regional Administrator Mike Stoker during an event in Las Vegas. According to The Washington Post, the EPA’s proposal aims at improving how communities test for lead in drinking water, as well as spurring quicker response times if problems become evident.
The rule amendment pushes to require water systems to act sooner to better public health and reduce lead levels, facilitate transparency and communications, and improve the protection of both children and the most at-risk communities.
The proposal also requires community systems act by:
According to the Post, the amended rule was under development since 2010, and is meant to tackle lead levels across 68,000 public water systems.
At the time of the announcement, the EPA and Department of Housing and Urban Development also launched a new website that offers information on available federal programs geared toward helping finance lead service line replacement. The information also includes case studies pertaining to similar projects.
Last year, in February, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and EPA announced a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that aimed to help water systems face the challenges of aging infrastructure, workforce shortages, increasing costs, limited management capacity and declining rate bases.
Through the MOA, a formal collaboration has been created between the EPA and USDA as to help create short- and long-term sustainability in rural water systems. To achieve the implementation of innovative strategies and tools, the agreement focuses on four main areas:
Most recently, the EPA announced that it would be extending the effective date of the Revised Lead and Copper Rule from March 16 until June 17. The EPA notes that the purpose of the extension is to enable the agency to take public comment on a second action that would provide a longer extension of the effective date.
The action also aims to allow the EPA to undertake its review of the rule in a deliberate and thorough manner consistent with the public health purposes of the Safe Drinking Water Act, President Biden’s Executive Order on Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis, the President’s Chief of Staff’s Regulatory Freeze Pending Review Memorandum, and in consultation with affected stakeholders.
A second action on the rule, however, proposes to extend the effective date until Dec. 16 and also proposes a corresponding extension of the revised LCR’s compliance deadline to Sept. 16, 2024. The EPA notes that this action would ensure that drinking water systems and primacy states continue to have the full three years provided by the Safe Drinking Water Act to take actions needed to assure regulatory compliance.
Public Listening Sessions and Roundtables
According to EPA’s release, the virtual public listening sessions will be held on April 28 and May 5 from 10 a.m.-10 p.m., EDT. The goal of public engagement is to obtain further input on EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Revisions—including from individuals and communities that are most at-risk of exposure to lead in drinking water—and to share thoughts and concerns about the impact of lead on affected communities as they relate to the LCRR with EPA senior officials and managers.
Those interested in speaking at the virtual events may do so by signing up for a 3-minute speaking slot, here.
Starting in May, the EPA will also be hosting community-focused virtual roundtables, which plan to facilitate unique perspective discussions on LCRR-related topics among EPA and local organizations. The topics include local government entities, public water utilities, community-organized groups, environmental groups and elected officials, among others.
The following month the EPA will host virtual roundtables with other important stakeholder groups, including drinking water utilities, intergovernmental associations, environmental organizations, environmental justice organizations, public health organizations, and consumer associations. Differentiating from the May roundtables, these meetings set a stage for representatives of national organizations to discuss LCRR-related topics and provide their national perspective to the Agency.
Finally, EPA also intends to host a national co-regulator meeting with primacy agencies (e.g., states, tribes, and territories) in July 2021 to discuss the feedback received from communities and stakeholders.
EPA requests that communities or organizations that would like to be considered for a community-focused or stakeholder roundtable submit a nomination letter to the Agency no later than April 23.

Recently, I pulled up to a hotel after a long, regrettable four-hour drive across the barren and highway-ridden land that is much of the state of Texas. Out front sat a slate-gray SUV, appropriately positioned for photos from passersby as soon as they noticed the emblem up front and confirmed its authenticity on Google.
“Is that...?” I asked myself, squinting and reaching up to make sure my glasses were on. “No. It can’t be. I must be imagining things.”
But in my heart, I knew it was the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. There was nothing else it could be. It was just so very, disappointingly small. I didn’t want to believe it.
“Cool, right?” a guy outside asked me. I was too dumbfounded to answer.
The Cullinan has been around for just over a year now, filling the “SUV” void in the Rolls-Royce lineup with twin-turbocharged V12 extravagance and a rating of 563 horsepower. Rolls has also apparently been struggling to keep up with demand for the SUV, with order books backed up for months earlier this year.
But I, a person better suited for the more peasant-focused offerings from the car industry, had yet to see one in person. All I had to go on, in my mental sizing of it, was what I’d been introduced to on this thing we call the internet.
From what I’d seen there, the Cullinan was, appropriately, a mammoth. A yacht on wheels, but with squared-off edges. A transport van able to fit Bruce Banner himself, but far too ritzy to let his ripped clothing in the vicinity of. A bus, but Opulent—with a capital “O,” because this is a Rolls-Royce we’re talking about.
But the slate-gray vehicle outside of that hotel was none of those things. It was no mammoth, no geometrically bricked yacht, no bus. It was just another SUV. I was vicariously ashamed.
I circled it like a vulture trying to decide whether its food was dead or not—not wanting to get too close, but squinting in confusion at the sight in front of me. It was a “Cullinan,” in the branding sense, but it wasn’t the Cullinan I’d come to envision over the past year.
It just wasn’t big enough.
In fact, the Cullinan fails so miserably in the “gargantuan size” department that among the other schlubs purporting to be SUVs, it only wins out in one category—and even that win is a tie.
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan should be twice the size of all of those vehicles, if not more. It is a Cullinan, not a Smart ForTwo. We should not be discussing the size of the Cullinan next to other measly SUVs; we should be discussing the size of the Empire State Building next to the Cullinan.
Because we are not, the Cullinan is too small.

‘I do not admit to the charge’
PENANG ‘wrong way’ driver claims trial, victim’s family distraught she was not charged with murder.
SUNGAI PETANI: “Why no murder charge?”
This was the question raised by the family of Mohamad Fandi Rosli, 26, the man who died when his car was rammed by a teen driver going against the flow of traffic on the NorthSouth Expressway on March 14.
Ng Pei Ven, 19, was yesterday charged at the Bukit Mertajam magistrate’s court with driving under the influence of drugs.
Fandi’s family was less than pleased after learning that Ng was spared a murder charge.
Fandi’s father, Rosli Lin, 57, said the family was expecting Ng to be charged with murder.
“It isn’t that we cannot come to terms with my son’s death. We believe she should have been given a heavier charge because this was not a typical accident.
“She was driving against the traffic flow, so she deserves to be slapped with a heavier charge as a deterrent to herself and others,” he said at his home in Taman Sri Pinang here yesterday.
Rosli’s wife, Noor Suriani Ismail, 47, said the family had engaged a lawyer to pursue further legal action against Ng.
“We are seeking justice for the loss of our only son.”
Ng was charged under Section 44(1)(a) of the Road Transport Act 1987. If found guilty, she faces up to 10 years in jail and a fine of up to RM20,000.

Abstract P73: Description of the Acceleration Forces Affecting Balance of Pre-hospital Providers While Delivering Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation
Introduction: EMS personnel are subjected to numerous large forces due to ambulance acceleration while caring for patients. These forces may increase the risk of crew injury due to balance loss and negatively affect patient care, especially if crew members are standing to perform CPR. Previous studies have demonstrated that acceleration exceeding 0.6 to 0.93 m/s^2 leads to loss of balance. Furthermore, acceleration per unit time (i.e. jerk) has been suggested as a stronger predictor of balance loss and should be limited to 0.5 to 0.6m/s^3. We sought to identify the frequency with which ambulance personnel are at risk of balance loss during the transport of cardiac arrest patients.
Methods: An onboard monitoring system (Road Safety, Thousand Oaks, CA) was utilized to record lateral and axial acceleration data during the transport of 50 cardiac arrest patients. Acceleration and acceleration change vectors were calculated for every second of drive time (speed >0 mph). Percentage of drive time with critical acceleration (>0.93 m/s^2) and jerk (>0.6 m/s^3) was determined by identifying all events exceeding the critical threshold.
Results: Total drive time during these transports was 348.03 min (mean 6.95 min per transport). Acceleration exceeded 0.93 m/s^2 49% of time (165.27 min, mean 3.31 min), and acceleration changes (jerk) exceeded 0.6 m/s^3 (86.87 min, mean 1.74 min) 26% of time. Either critical threshold was exceeded 60% of time ( 202.42 min, mean 4.05 min) during transport.
Conclusion: During cardiac arrest patient transports emergency medical personnel are at significant risk of balance loss 60% of the time due to frequent, large acceleration forces. The resulting loss of balance may result in personal injury or the delivery of poor quality CPR.

EXTRACTS FROM HOMILY OF ARCHBISHOP DIARMUID MARTIN AT MASS FOR THE PHILIPPINE COMMUNITY
Pro-Cathedral, 18.30 November 17th
“As the news broke earlier this week of the horrendous disaster that took place in the Philippines, I immediately wanted to find an occasion to be with some representatives of the Philippine community here in Dublin and to join with you in prayer as we remember those who died and as we remember those whose homes and livelihoods have been shattered. I think especially of the children, of the many are who are injured or are missing, of those who mourn and of those who still seek their lost loved ones.
I think of you here in Dublin who are so far from home on an occasion like this and who live with uncertainties about your families and friends. The Christian community here in Dublin is with you and will continue to stand by you.
The message of today’s Gospel is also about the significance of the Temple. Jesus is telling us that worship of God belongs no longer just within one Temple, but it belongs to all peoples who come in spirit and in truth. Jesus message reaches out to all peoples and unites all peoples. That is the spirit in which we are united here this evening. That is the spirit which demands that all Christians rise up in solidarity when their brothers and sisters in any part of the world are in sorrow.
I hope that the Christian community here in Dublin will witness to their solidarity with the Philippine people with great generosity, so that your people and your country will soon regain peace and serenity, that families will be reunited and that even in their loss they will be able to face the future knowing that they are surrounded by men and women who witness to the loving care of Jesus Christ.
The message of Jesus about the future of creation and where the world is going is in fact a message about how we live today. It is a message that goodness can prevail and that goodness will prevail if we respond united in solidarity, living lives of goodness, generosity and love.
May the Lord be with you in your grief and anguish. May the Lord sustain those who mourn. May the Lord give you strength to face the future. May the Lord grant rest to those who have died.”
PRESS RELEASE NOVEMBER 11TH 2013 IMMEDIATE
Archbishop of Dublin announces special collections for Philippines and Syria
The Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin, has asked that a special collection due to be taken up at all Masses this weekend be used to help with the relief effort in the Philippines as well as that in Syria.
The second collection at Dublin Masses at the weekend is to be replaced by a special collection, asked for by the Irish Bishops, for the relief effort in Syria.
In a letter to all priests of the Diocese this afternoon, the Archbishop said “As news continues to arrive concerning the disastrous situation caused in the Philippines by the devastating typhoon Haiyan. Urgent requests are coming from the Church in the Philippines for prayers and for help to provide immediate relief for hundreds of thousands of people who are struggling simply to stay alive.”
He said that in the light of these developments, the collection at all Masses on Saturday evening and Sunday next (16th-17th November), will be for both disasters: 50% going to relief in Syria and 50% for immediate relief in the Philippines.
“I would ask you to appeal to Mass goers to be particularly generous in the face of these two disasters,” said Archbishop Martin, “I am conscious of the fact that many people here in Ireland are under great financial pressure at this moment, but I have no doubt that those who can, will be willing to support the Filipino and Syrian people.”
Meanwhile, on Sunday evening next at 18.30pm Archbishop Martin will celebrate Mass in St. Mary’s Pro-Cathedral for the situation in the Philippines. He said many members of the Filipino community here in Dublin are anxiously awaiting news of loved ones as the scale of the damage caused by the natural disaster continues to unfold. He invited all who wished to join with him in prayer on Sunday evening.
Pope Francis prayed for the victims of the typhoon after the Sunday Angelus in St Peter’s Square. He firstly called for silent prayer, and then led the faithful in a recitation of the Hail Mary. Furthermore, he urged those present to help their brothers and sisters in the Philippines concretely, as well as through prayer. ENDS

With Sons of the Forest, one of the most anticipated games finally appeared on Steam on February 23, 2023. But the survival horror title is not running smoothly everywhere at launch: Some fans complain about crashes and problems loading the game, among other things.
What’s going on? You were really looking forward to Sons of the Forest, but now you can’t play because the game crashes in the loading screen? We have collected a few solutions in our guide, which should allow you a smooth entry into the merciless world of the survival title.
Sons of the Forest: Fix Crash Problems
Fans sometimes report that they cannot start the game because it already crashes in the loading screen. The writing fills with color for a bit before the screen freezes and a crash message flickers across the screen shortly after – or nothing happens at all.
How can I make my game stop crashing? If you are affected by this error, you can try the following solutions:
- Quit other running programs. Especially web browsers like Google Chrome or Firefox can cause the memory to be used up and not enough RAM is available.
- Check the game files of Sons of the Forest for errors (right-click on game name in Steam library → Properties → Local Files → Check Game Files for Errors).
- Make sure you have the latest graphics card drivers installed.
- In case you are using an Nvidia graphics card: Check if your GPU is set as the primary graphics card in the system settings (right-click on the desktop → NVIDIA Control Panel → Manage 3D Settings → Global Preferences → 3D App – Game Development + Preferred Graphics Processor → NVIDIA High Performance Processor + 3D Settings → Set PhysX Configuration → Select a PhysX Processor → your graphics card).
If you have followed all these steps, the game should start without any problems. In most cases, however, simply checking the game files for errors will be enough to fix the loading screen crash.
You want to join an active community or just want to chat with other players or us? Then feel free to join our Discord server. We are looking forward to you.

A minor speeding violation — which is 15 miles in excess of the restrict or less — increases your car insurance an common of 21%. That’;s in accordance to a new report from InsuranceQuotes.com.
To translate that into true cash, if the common yearly car insurance is $ 912 a 12 months, a single speeding ticket brings it up $ 191.
But that’;s not much compared to a DUI, which will increase your insurance fee by 93%–which is practically double!
Reckless driving will cost you 82% a lot more a year in insurance.
Do you depart other drivers in the dust most of time? Do you have a speeding ticket collection to prove it?
Or perhaps, you are the one particular consistently getting passed by other drivers?

Solids and liquids are both forms of condensed matter; both are composed of atoms in close proximity to each other. But their properties are, of course, enormously different. While a solid material has both a well-defined volume and a well-defined shape, a liquid has a well-defined volume but a shape that depends on the shape of the container. Stated differently, a solid exhibits resistance to shear stress while a liquid does not. Externally applied forces can twist or bend or distort a solid’s shape, but (provided the forces have not exceeded the solid’s elastic limit) it “springs back” to its original shape when the forces are removed. A liquid flows under the action of an external force; it does not hold its shape. These macroscopic characteristics constitute the essential distinctions: a liquid flows, lacks a definite shape (though its volume is definite), and cannot withstand a shear stress; a solid does not flow, has a definite shape, and exhibits elastic stiffness against shear stress.
On an atomic level, these macroscopic distinctions arise from a basic difference in the nature of the atomic motion. atom stays close to one point in space, although the atom is not stationary but instead oscillates rapidly about this fixed point (the higher the temperature, the faster it oscillates). The fixed point can be viewed as a time-averaged centre of gravity of the rapidly jiggling atom. The spatial arrangement of these fixed points constitutes the solid’s durable atomic-scale structure. In contrast, a liquid possesses no enduring arrangement of atoms. Atoms in a liquid are mobile and continually wander throughout the material.contains schematic representations of atomic movements in a liquid and a solid. Atoms in a solid are not mobile. Each
Distinction between crystalline and amorphous solids
There are two main classes of solids: crystalline and amorphous. What distinguishes them from one another is the nature of their atomic-scale structure. The essential differences are displayed in . The salient features of the atomic arrangements in amorphous solids (also called glasses), as opposed to crystals, are illustrated in the figure for two-dimensional structures; the key points carry over to the actual three-dimensional structures of real materials. Also included in the figure, as a reference point, is a sketch of the atomic arrangement in a gas. For the sketches representing crystal (A) and glass (B) structures, the solid dots denote the fixed points about which the atoms oscillate; for the gas (C), the dots denote a snapshot of one configuration of instantaneous atomic positions.
Atomic positions in a crystal exhibit a property called long-range order or translational periodicity; positions repeat in space in a regular array, as in . In an amorphous solid, translational periodicity is absent. As indicated in , there is no long-range order. The atoms are not randomly distributed in space, however, as they are in the gas in . In the glass example illustrated in the figure, each atom has three nearest-neighbour atoms at the same distance (called the chemical bond length) from it, just as in the corresponding crystal. All solids, both crystalline and amorphous, exhibit short-range (atomic-scale) order. (Thus, the term amorphous, literally “without form or structure,” is actually a misnomer in the context of the standard expression amorphous solid.) The well-defined short-range order is a consequence of the chemical bonding between atoms, which is responsible for holding the solid together.
In addition to the terms amorphous solid and glass, other terms in use include noncrystalline solid and vitreous solid. Amorphous solid and noncrystalline solid are more general terms, while glass and vitreous solid have historically been reserved for an amorphous solid prepared by rapid cooling (quenching) of a melt—as in scenario 2 of .
phase into the liquid phase and then into the solid phase. Temperature is plotted horizontally, while the volume occupied by the material is plotted vertically. The temperature Tb is the boiling point, Tf is the freezing (or melting) point, and Tg is the glass transition temperature. In scenario 1 the liquid freezes at Tf into a crystalline solid, with an abrupt discontinuity in volume. When cooling occurs slowly, this is usually what happens. At sufficiently high cooling rates, however, most materials display a different behaviour and follow route 2 to the solid state. Tf is bypassed, and the liquid state persists until the lower temperature Tg is reached and the second solidification scenario is realized. In a narrow temperature range near Tg, the glass transition occurs: the liquid freezes into an amorphous solid with no abrupt discontinuity in volume., which should be read from right to left, indicates the two types of scenarios that can occur when cooling causes a given number of atoms to condense from the gas
The glass transition temperature Tg is not as sharply defined as Tf; Tg shifts downward slightly when the cooling rate is reduced. The reason for this phenomenon is the steep temperature dependence of the molecular response time, which is crudely indicated by the order-of-magnitude values shown along the top scale of mobility ( , right) disappears and the atomic configuration becomes frozen into a set of fixed positions to which the atoms are tied ( , left, and ).. When the temperature is lowered below Tg, the response time for molecular rearrangement becomes much larger than experimentally accessible times, so that liquidlike
Some textbooks erroneously describe glasses as undercooled viscous liquids, but this is actually incorrect. Along the section of route 2 labeled liquid in , it is the portion lying between Tf and Tg that is correctly associated with the description of the material as an undercooled liquid (undercooled meaning that its temperature is below Tf). But below Tg, in the glass phase, it is a bona fide solid (exhibiting such properties as elastic stiffness against shear). The low slopes of the crystal and glass line segments of in comparison with the high slope of the liquid section reflect the fact that the coefficient of thermal expansion of a solid is small in comparison with that of the liquid.

Evaluation board verifies battery management for the IoT
To verify operation of battery management in electronic devices such as wearables, industrial IoT products, such as smart cards and electronics shelf labels as well as portable devices, Rohm has developed the REFLVBMS001-EVK-001.
Devices used in any of these applications continually need to be made smaller and thinner yet also have to support larger battery capacities and lower power consumption to improve usability and convenience.
The REFLVBMS001-EVK-001 evaluation board provides high efficiency battery management for thin, compact IoT devices by combining Rohm’s low power consumption analogue ICs which incorporate original Nano Energy low current technology as well as its charge control ICs which are compatible with a range of rechargeable batteries.
The REFLVBMS001-EVK-001 is equipped with a power supply IC (buck DC/DC converter IC) and reset IC (voltage detector IC) utilising original Nano Energy low current consumption technology. A battery charger IC supports low voltage rechargeable batteries and the board also has NGK Insulators’ thin, large capacity EnerCera li-ion rechargeable battery. The low current consumption of the power supply IC (quiescent current 180nA) minimises loss.
The battery charger IC is suitable for a wide range of charge voltages. It is capable of charging, monitoring and discharging batteries making it suitable for compact IoT devices. The low-profile, efficient battery management is just 0.6mm thick for mounted components (including the thin rechargeable battery).
Rohm’s Nano Energy low current consumption power supply IC minimises loss and the battery charger IC provides optimal charging for a variety of rechargeable batteries, added the company.
The evaluation board REFLVBMS001-EVK-001 consists of an EnerCera EC382704P-C rechargeable battery which is 0.45mm thick and which has a capacity of 27mAh. The Nano Energy IC BD70522GUL has a quiescent current of 180nA ensuring low power consumption. The third component is the battery charger IC BD71631QWZ for batteries in the range of 2.0 to 4.7V, which is suitable for monitoring, charging, and discharging batteries. In addition, the reset IC BD5230NVX-2C is used for detecting abnormal voltages as standby current of 270nA, while low standby current minimises loss. This makes it possible to extend the overall standby by a factor of 60 in comparison with existing solutions, and enables proper, evaluation of an efficient battery management system, said Rohm. All mounted components are less than 0.60mm thick (1.60mm including the board) which enables the reference design to be used for thin IoT applications such as smart cards, and wearables (smart watches, keyless entry) and compact industrial IoT devices (electronic shelf labels, smart meters and alarms) and other IoT equipment requiring smaller, thinner form factors and longer battery life.

I had my usual late morning with coffee with Sarah and then wandered around town waiting to hear that they were in Ireland. Their flight was a bit late, but they were expecting to get to Wexford by bus around 2 pm. I met them at the bus station here in town and escorted them the short distance to my place. They considered taking a nap, but decided they'd adjust quicker if they tried to sleep at the regular night time here. We went out to lunch at Simon's where we met Sarah. We each had some variation of soup and sandwich and then walked around a bit. We then came home and played some Farkle and ate cookies with tea for dinner.
We all had a good nights' sleep and then met John and Sarah and our driver, Greg, out front at 8 am. On the first day of the tour we went to Enniscorthy to the 1798 museum and Vinegar Hill and then stopped at Curracloe Beach and the Wildfowl Sanctuary before heading to the Wren's Nest for fish and chips and a pint. What a fabulous day. I know I took photos while we were touring, but am having trouble finding them.
|Atop Vinegar Hill|
On the second day of our tour we went to Johnstown Castle, Tintern Abbey and the Hook Lighthouse. Again a lovely day, except for the clutch trouble Greg had with the vehicle, but he seemed to know just how to take care of it. We had a delicious lunch at Templars Inn before heading back to Wexford.
I hate to admit it but much of the time the girls were here is a blur. We had a trip planned to London, but they went off without me when my ankle proved too much. I've been referred to a orthopaedic specialist at Beacon Hospital in Dublin and my local GP didn't think I should plan to be away. As it turns my appointment is not until 11 August, but I think it was good to give my ankle a rest.
The girls had a blast in London, which included, but was not limited to, Sue getting locked in the loo at the place where they were staying; a hop on hop off bus tour of the city; and a cruise on the Thames. They then took a train to Pembroke, Wales, where they spent a night before returning to Ireland via a ferry. They all seemed to think the ferry ride was the high spot of their trip.
For the rest of their stay we pretty much walked around Wexford (except for the day John and Sarah took Judy and Sue to Enniscorthy to see the sights and have lunch) having our main meal at lunch time at various restaurants in town followed by cookies and tea for dinner. What could be better.
I hope the girls had as good a time as I did while they were here. Looking forward to Anne coming back in a couple of years to see me and for us to explore a bit of Europe together.....

Q. My dog just puked blood she's been to the vet already this week but had been feeling better and wasn't throwing up anymore until today. Can you help?
A. It may be that she is just gradually getting better, I would offer a smaller meal after a few hours starvation. Tray a bit of chicken and rice and offer small amounts of water little and often. If you think that rather than a one off episode it looks like she has gone back to how she was before, then have rechecked sooner rather than later.

Among one of the world’s longest running marijuana legalization events, the New York City Cannabis Parade & Rally (NYCCPR) originally began as a “Smoke-In” at Washington Square Park in 1973. Since then, the NYCCPR has made much progress, budding into a three-part event consisting of a parade march, a rally and a celebratory after party.
The event takes place annually on the first Saturday in May. Therefore, this year’s event will kick-off on Saturday, May 6th. Sister events occur worldwide on the same day as NYCCPR is the founding chapter of the Global Marijuana March.
Though the event was cancelled in 2020, a scaled-down version returned to Union Square in 2021 with a visit from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. “Young people are able to celebrate today without a fear that a little bit of marijuana in their pocket could ruin their lives,” he said. “More freedom, less fear,” in regards to the recent legalization of cannabis after the Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act was singed into law on March 31.
“We are proud to have, for many decades, played a role in educating New Yorkers about prohibition and what needed to be done to change the state’s outdated cannabis laws,” shared the NYCCPR website. “New York has come a long way from when it was the Marijuana Arrest Capitol of the World. As we enter a new era, we must remain vigilant and keep our eyes on implementation and diversity as the cannabis industry grows in New York and across the Northeast.”
Everything you need to know about the Cannabis Parade and Rally this year
When is the event?
The event will be on Saturday, May 6th 2023
What time is the Parade
The parade will run from 11am-1pm. The march will officially kick-off at 12:30pm.
What is the Parade route
Starting at Herald Square, the route will head southbound on Broadway to reach Union Square Park at 14 Street.
When is the Rally
The rally will be in Union Square from 1-5pm.
When is the After Party
More info to come. Last year’s After Party was a private event.
As noted by the NYCCPR’s website* You can legally smoke cannabis anywhere tobacco can be used, like the street or the sidewalk. However, smoking anything in any New York City public park remains against state law and city regulation.

For people with eating disorders, recovery can be scary. It isn’t easy to ask for help and finding the best treatment may take time. In this section, we’ll explain the most common therapies and program types that have helped millions of people get on the road to recovery.
“I explored several therapists and support groups before finding a good fit. I worked with an amazing dietician who helped me to rediscover the importance of food. I had intense sessions with a counsellor who assisted me in confronting my issues. I went up, I went down. I had days when I felt on top of the world. I felt in control, healthy and happy. I also had days where I hit rock bottom.” ~Sara
