- 10 Seasons
Wahlburgers is a reality television show on A&E that debuted in January 2014 and was on air for five seasons until July 2019. The show follows the life of the Wahlberg family, with a focus on their restaurant chain, Wahlburgers. The main cast includes Mark Wahlberg, his brother Donnie Wahlberg, and their brother Paul Wahlberg, who is the chef and owner of Wahlburgers. Other recurring cast members on the show include Alma McPeck (the Wahlberg brothers' mother), Johnny Alves (Paul's childhood friend and business partner), and Henry Laun (a close friend of the family and executive chef at Wahlburgers).
The show mostly takes place in and around the Wahlburgers restaurants, which are located in various cities throughout the United States. Each episode focuses on a different aspect of the Wahlberg family's life, whether it's dealing with the day-to-day operations of the restaurants, planning events, or just spending time together as a family. The show also features visits from celebrity guests, such as sports stars and musicians, who come to tour the restaurants and try out the food.
One of the main themes of Wahlburgers is family. The show highlights the strong bond between the Wahlberg brothers, as well as their connection to their mother and other family members. There are many heartwarming moments throughout the series that showcase the family's love and support for one another, such as when Mark and Donnie surprise Paul with a performance by New Kids on the Block, or when the family comes together to celebrate Alma's birthday.
Another major theme of the show is entrepreneurship. Wahlburgers follows the development of the family's restaurant chain, from its beginnings as a single location in Hingham, Massachusetts, to its expansion to various cities across the country. Viewers get a behind-the-scenes look at the business side of the restaurant industry, including the challenges of managing multiple locations and dealing with competition from other restaurants.
Aside from the restaurant business, Wahlburgers also touches on other aspects of the Wahlbergs' lives, such as their charitable work and their personal hobbies. In one episode, for example, Mark and Donnie participate in a charity event to raise money for autism research, while in another episode, Paul takes his daughter to visit his childhood home and reminisce about his upbringing.
Overall, Wahlburgers is a fun and lighthearted show that offers a glimpse into the lives of one of Hollywood's most famous families. With its focus on family, entrepreneurship, and celebrity culture, it's a captivating watch for fans of reality TV and foodie shows alike.

Goodman. Fenomen, Wydawn. Arka Noego, –
The doctors believed she mcihel hallucinating and prescribed drugs. Not sure how to review this just yet a very sad story about a young girl.
Members of the clergy visiting the house were convinced they were dealing with a case of demonic possession. This is what Satan has always wanted. Anneliese was poorly served by both sgzorcyzmy spiritual advisors and her physicians, a very sad story. Apr 06, theghostwriter rated it really liked it.
Egzorcyzmy Anneliese Michel –
Upon this, she bases her arguments for the defense. Witnesses were plentiful in attesting to the claims. The behaviour of Anneliese’s priests and parents may not have been driven by bad intentions, but they were absolutely guilty of letting her die when she could have been saved, and ,ichel rightly convicted in court.
May 10, Natalie rated it it was amazing. I am making use of your suffering, sorrow and lack of solace to save souls.
Prawdziwa historia egzorcyzmów Anneliese Michel
Hazreen rated it really liked it Jul 03, She kicked out in my direction. Thanks to her close bond with Jesus, her keeping of several demons in bondage within her own body took on a salvific dimension. The deeper she digs into the case, the more she comes to sense its supernatural character.
Felicitas Goodman has written a fascinating, compelling book, one that finally tells what happened in this strange case as it delves into the age-old mystery of demonic possession.
The question remains—wrote Fr. According to one of her friends, Anneliese was unable to get up one morning after a horrific night. During the trial she states honestly that she has an open mind concerning the existence of the spiritual world.
But at that moment there broke out an appalling roar such as they had never heard before. Who programmed our DNA? It’s known in many cultures.
Hein, Peter and her father, restrained her. It changed my mind on the subject, which I can’t say is true of many books.
One of these later observed: Eventually all six harassed spirits made themselves known: The case of Anneliese Michel was one that clearly meant something to Goodman. Anneliese is indeed in the power of an evil spirit, and the principal demon is Judas.
An exorcism is a solemn prayer by which the Church in the name of Jesus Christ publicly and authoritatively expels an evil spirit from a person in its possession. You must pray on. An interesting anthropological study. Hearing this extraordinary consolation, Fr. Three years earlier, in Autumnwhen the decision anneliesse perform the exorcism had been made, Anneliese could refrain from eating for over a dozen of days, ran through all the house, undressed and jumped over the imchel.
You can’t depend on a single remedy to cure someone, like exorcism, and cut out all other suggested treatments. Brian Phillips rated it it was amazing Mar 16, This tale, scarier than the movie, will not soon be forgotten.
On another occasion He told her: Anneliese lay down and went peacefully to sleep, never to wake again. Nevertheless, she was admitted to a sanatorium where her terrified fellow-inmates looked on as her blue eyes turned black, her hands contorted and her body became wracked by strange convulsions.
Do demons really exist? Her whole faci Quite simply this is one of egorcyzmy most depressing and harrowing books I have ever anne,iese and yet the fact I read it in just over egzocryzmy days bears testimony to its raw power. The exorcism sessions were recorded on audio tapes, some of which you can find and listen to o Anneliese Michel was a young Catholic girl in Germany who died in at the age of Like, how can you even argue with a group of people who is just utterly convinced that they have no personal responsibility and that everything in their lives is determined by demons and saints?
Not adding personal speculation to the case material, Dr. Michl to say, certain individuals were responsible for this incorrect diagnosis and treatment.
By contrast, the defense attorney, an avowed agnostic, approaches these dramatic events without prejudice.
I also did not realise before opening the book that it was actually published by a Catholic publisher and was littered with tacky ads for similar publications.

US youngsters are lagging more in financial literacy than those in China, Michael Justin Lee, Lecturer at the Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Maryland discovered when he dived into a comparative study by VISA International. “A crappy return on investment,” he writes in ChinaUSFocus.
Category Archives: education
Chinese investors were among the more daring, but have become more conservative over the past two years. WSJ wealth editor Wei Gu discusses the change with Jennifer Zeng, Partner at Bain & Co., as wealth management products take over from stocks and real estate.
The world’s financial systems are out of balance. Professor Michael Justin Lee discusses what both countries need to face the future, in terms of reforming their educational approach. “China has its technical basis, but needs to teach people how to become entrepreneurs.”
The majority of China’s billionaires sent their kids abroad for education, an international outlook, to prepare to take over their business later, tells HURUN China Rich list founder Rupert Hoogewerf in the China Daily.
Between a growing number of billionaires and 700 million peasants China’s middle class has severe problems in taking off. In the Wall Street Journal its wealth editor Wei Gu asks for more love for the middle class. Business analyst Shaun Rein warns against an unhappy middle class.
China’s millionaires are getting ready to send their kid to boarding school abroad, Hurun Rich list founder Rupert Hoogewerf told an audience of Swiss business people and government official at the pre-launch of his school guide “The Best of Swiss Education” at the Beau Rivage Palace in Lausanne, Switzerland on Tuesday 29 January.
Ambitions are high among the rising Chinese middle class and most of the parents put a lot of pressure on their only child to perform at school. Just getting an undergrad degree is for most not done, tells China veteran Paul French in the Wall Street Journal.
China hosts some of the largest competitors of Google, YouTube and other IT-giants. Still, becoming a global IT force is far away, writes journalist and internet entrepreneur Maria Korolov in Internet Evolution.
Not only hot money is leaving China, the country suffers from an ongoing brain drain to the US, writes China veteran Bill Dodson on his weblog. China is failing to foster its innovation incubators, he says. And the parents of those brightest might follow suit.

No caulking gun will last a lifetime but this one won't snap or bend after a few uses as we've seen from a lot of them.
How to use a sealant gun:
- Release the plunger of the gun by pressing the release at the back
- Once it's fully extended you should now be able to place the tube inside with the pointy end at the front
- Push the plunger back slightly so that it is now softly touching the back of the cartridge
- Break the inner seal of the cartridge and screw the nozzle firmly into place
- Cut the tip of the nozzle at a 45-degree angle
- The gun is now set and applying pressure will push out the silicone but beware of the speed it comes out and also that it may carry on escaping for a while after you release the trigger.

In this modern world, everything is made easier and much more convenient for users, including kitchen appliances. Cooking has never been easier with the existence of pressure cookers. This small piece of cooking device has long been one of the most advanced and versatile inventions for optimized cooking experience. With pressure cookers, you can now have delicious and hearty meals full of nutritions in less than an hour!
If you are exploring the world of pressure cookers, let us show you some tips on making the most out of your machine.
Read the recipe
Always read through your recipes before cooking! Though this step is often overlooked, reading the recipe carefully can really make a big difference to the final result of your dishes. Why? By doing this, you can clearly understand the cooking process, know which ingredient you’d need to prepare, and get the right cooking time needed.
Specifically for pressure cookers, knowing your recipe will also help you know more about the pressure level required, as well as the release method suitable for your dish.
Follow safety instruction
When it comes to pressure cooking, always make sure to check your machine and all its elements before getting into the actual cooking. You can also check the accessories and electric parts to ensure no misplacements or defected factors.
Moreover, always remember to turn the pressure cooker off after use, and before having it checked or repaired. Though old models of pressure cookers typically have two buttons for Keep warm and Cancellation, the latest models come with many advanced elements, such as an LCD display and various safety features.
Check the cooker
Check the cooker and all its parts before using it. Make sure all components are securely fixed in place, and none is damaged or cracked.
The more you prepare the cooker beforehand, the easier time you’ll have cooking with the device.
Do you know most pressure cookers, not to mention all pressure cookers, have three stages of cooking? The stages are as below.
The cooker boils the liquid, hence creating the steam pressure building up in the house.
Then, this steam pressure will start cooking the ingredients. Modern models even feature timing that is shown on an LCD display, which allows users to keep track of their cooking process.
Once it’s done cooking, the pressure cooker depressurizes by releasing the steam through the integrated valve. There are various models with the Keep warm features, which can help the device cool down for storage. Hence, it makes sure you’re safe from the depressurization.
Regular check up and replacement
It is highly advisable for users to replace the seal ring every 18 months. There are many different devices that let users have approximately 24 months before requiring replacement.

Most of my life I’ve had a very personal relationship with books. Ever since I discovered what reading a good book felt like, -my “good book” virginity was broken by Lewis Carroll’s Through The Looking Glass-, I have not stopped engaging in this magical activity. Dickens, Carroll, Dickinson ,Whitman and others have all been by my side in the darkest and the brightest moments of my life; so much so that all of the most significant experiences in my life, even those that have seemingly nothing to do with reading books, –ie going camping for the first time, the death of my first dog, living in a different country– have been augmented, explained, and given life by what I was reading at the time.
For instance, I remember the first time I went kayaking and reached a secluded section of the lake and became awestruck by the landscape that surrounded me. The experience was visceral and had me feeling things I’d never felt before. These feelings were so complex and unusual that I couldn’t hope and didn’t dare to try to explain what it was about the landscape that inspired this intense reaction. However, in that moment I remembered a poem that I had read a few days before. The poem was “There is Pleasure in the Pathless Woods” by Lord Byron.
There is pleasure in the pathless woods
There is rapture on the lonely shore
There is society where none intrudes
By the deep sea and the music in its roar
I love not man the less but Nature more;
From all these interviews in which I steal
From all I may be or have been before
To mingle with the universe and feel,
What I can never express, yet cannot conceal.
Lord Byron felt exactly the same way I felt when I looked at the landscape. I don’t know what he saw or when he saw it, but I knew he felt exactly the same way I did. He had to. The fact that he was able to somehow capture what I was feeling and put it in words made my experience intelligible, and in a sense more tangible. Nature had given me that wonderful experience and now I was able to catalog it in my mind through the words of Byron. All my life I’ve been having similar experiences. Books and poems have helped me discover who am I am and have given me the words to describe how I feel. But why?
Surely writing is merely a medium to communicate one’s thoughts, in a sense no different from speaking or having a conversation. So why is it that reading a good book feels much different than having a good conversation? Why do books seem to be especially effective at capturing the intricacies of human experience? Why are they able to strip away the distractions of the outside world and provide an internal dialogue that is vulnerable, honest, and intimate? Why do books seem to be able to uniquely harness the power of careful deliberation?
Is it because books give us the benefit of revision? The promise of permanence? The comforting cloak of solitude and anonymity?

Optimising labour and eliminating waste in your restaurant
It’s a known fact that having the ability to optimise labour or reduce food waste has a huge positive impact on profit and having the right insights to be able to action this is the key to any successful business.
Waste related issues and ways to increase employee productivity are the areas that you can control with the right insights at the right time, based on data that you already have and all relevant external data. But how?
You have two major “cost centres” at your restaurant. One is food and beverage. The other is labour. Which one do you think is most challenging to control? If you said labour, either you’ve been running a restaurant for at least a while, or you have some genuine insight into the challenges of running a restaurant. Labour issues are still the major concern of most restaurant owners and managers. Labour costs are not just controlled by paying lower wages but through good scheduling and improving employee productivity.
When it comes to food and beverage costs, on average 45% of food waste in the hospitality industry comes from food that has been prepared unnecessarily. Food and beverage costs can be controlled by having insight into what menu items are being sold at any given time.
DataProfit Insights uses a comprehensive set of predictive and prescriptive actionable business insights, allowing you to make real time decisions based on all your data, improving the predictability of the forecasts and the understanding of the costs that can be influenced.

Press-fit, where parts are joined using force, remains one of the most common of manufacturing operations.
Like any common manufacturing operation, a press-fit must be monitored to prevent flaws and defects from impacting part quality. In this series, we will dig into how press defects can be found using digital process signature analysis software, what to monitor in a press operation and also provide examples from actual press operations.
Finding part, process or machine issues using waveforms
The health of a press fit operation can generally be determined by evaluating three primary process signatures:
- Force vs. Time: How much pressure and for how long, had to be applied for the operation (or process cycle) to complete?
- Distance vs. Time: How far did the component move and how quickly, during the operation?
- Force vs. Distance: How much pressure did it require to move the component a specific distance?
The most powerful forensic tool for press-fit defect detection is the digital process signature (waveforms).
A signature is a visual representation of everything that happened to the part through each millisecond of the press-fit operation. By equipping the press-fit station with the right combination of software and sensors such as load-cells or position and pressure sensors, the signature of each press-fit operation can be captured and visualized. Those three features – Force vs. Time, Distance vs. Time, Force vs. Distance – can be easily measured and compared between different operations of the press.
Take this example (image below), where a pin is being pressed into a part. The pin diameter is slightly larger than the bore it is being pressed into, which ensures it never comes loose and falls out.
We can use a load cell to capture the force and a Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) to digitize the distance as the ram forces the pin into place. This creates the force vs. time and distance vs. times curves. Combining these, we can create a force vs. distance waveform, or signature, as shown below in below image.
The next step is to understand how the unique attributes of the signature, its shape, correspond to information about the real physical process.
The stages of a press curve
In the graphic below, you can see three basic stages of a press curve:
Stage 1: In the first stage if the part is not perfectly aligned there can be a rise in the force as the part hits the side of the opening first then moves into the opening. This may indicate an issue with tooling setup or wear.
Stage 2: As the pin is pressed in, the force increases due to greater surface area in contact. The value of the force in this area indicates the tolerance of the parts. Too high a force indicates too tight of a tolerance, while too low indicates an overly loose fit.
Stage 3: The third stage is where the pin makes contact with the bottom of the bore. Here there is an increase in the force with little distance, as is shown by the steep rise in the force vs. distance curve. The degree of steepness, or slope can be an indicator of the stiffness of the press machinery and show wear over time.
Anomalies in the process signature can flag any number of issues with either the part or the machine itself. Next time, we will explore further what to monitor in a press fit operation and what issues can be identified.


Experts, who say that if children have poor school performance due to the severity of the allergy picture, or if there is confusion due to persistent cold, spring allergies can be prevented by getting an allergy vaccine and warn: “If allergy symptoms recur every year, Vaccines are a great way to treat allergies. “
In the spring, we call the flower dust, which is the air circulation of pollen increases. Dr. Ainur Kaya says the complaints that develop during this period in people with pollen allergies are defined as spring allergies or hay fever. Most of the pollen is found in the air that we breathe between spring and autumn and it travels many kilometers through the air, said Professor. Dr. Ainur Kaya warned about spring allergies. Professor Dr. Ainur Kaya says that we experience pollen allergies, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and asthma symptoms that develop when pollen enters our body through the air we breathe. Emphasis that spring allergies in children are the same as in adults, but especially nasal congestion and difficulty breathing can affect their class and test success. Dr. Ainur Kaya said, “It can reduce the appetite of children at the age of growth and development. For this reason, the situation of children is different. Therefore, we recommend vaccinating against allergies.”
It will be April, May, June
If you have allergies in the spring, said Professor. Dr. Ainur Kaya, “With global warming, different concentrations of pollen are detected in the atmosphere throughout the year. Pollen from grasses, trees and grass causes allergies. Pollen, also known as flower dust in humans, is a protein-mediated substance that mediates reproduction. Pollen grains are too small to be seen with the naked eye, and thousands of pollen grains are found in a single pollen dust. The most common are grassland pollen susceptibility and related allergic rhinitis. Pollen counts are low on cold rainy days, in hot and dry weather and especially in the early part of the day when they are at high levels, ”he said.
Running and itching may be visible
The development of pollen allergies as a result of inhalation of pollen into the body is associated with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and asthma symptoms, he said. Dr. Ainur Kaya shared the following information about the symptoms of allergies in spring: “Allergic rhinitis is always a cold condition. Increases the risk of sinusitis, nasal polyps, otitis and asthma. Allergens reach the bronchi in the form of small dust particles and cause asthma. During this time, patients complain to the doctor about coughing, shortness of breath, shortness of breath, shortness of breath and chest congestion. “
Pollen food syndrome
Note that 40 percent of people with pollen allergies may develop sensitivity to allergens in some fresh vegetables and fruits. Dr. “These people describe itching of the mouth, swelling of the tongue and lips, and tightness in the throat. This condition, known as pollen food syndrome, is caused by a combination of pollen and food allergens. Rarely, it can cause anaphylaxis, or allergic shock,” said Ainur Kaya. Therefore, pollen is allergic. “Since cross-linking is known depending on the type of food, this image should be examined and determined by an allergist. People with allergic skin diseases such as urticaria and pollen allergies may also have eczema with asthma and rhinitis. “
Skin prick tests help diagnose
Detailed history is very important in the diagnosis of pollen allergy, said Professor. Dr. Ainur Kaya says: “Skin prick tests, specific serum IgE levels can be used to support the diagnosis. Drug treatment is very important according to the symptoms and the severity of the disease. This treatment, also known as allergy vaccination, is administered in the form of a sublingual tablet or in the form of a vaccine in the arm. The quality is bad, if the symptoms recur every year, the vaccine is a very good treatment to end the allergy. Alternatives. “
Long sleeves can be worn
Pollen allergy patients should plan their outdoor activities in the spring, said Professor. Dr. Ainur Kaya said, “They should reduce their activity, especially in the morning when the pollen is high, and reduce it in dry and windy weather. Wearing glasses, masks and especially long sleeves and foot wear reduces contact. Also, when you come home, These clothes should be changed and bathed, pollen at home and in the car, filter air conditioner should be used.
The symptoms of Covid-19 are different
Adding to the difference between the symptoms of Kovid-19 in children and the symptoms of spring allergies, Prof. Dr. Dr. Ainur Kaya said, “We all know the symptoms of Kovid-19 now. Kovid-19 causes acute infections and fever. Instead of itching, it progresses to sore throat, runny nose and congestion. On the other hand, spring allergies, nose and eye itching. Nasal congestion, which we call allergy greeting, is a chronic disease that occurs every year. “For this reason, we can understand the difference very clearly,” he concluded.

There’s been a big drama in the publishing world recently, involving an “internet archive” that has been lending pirated books to readers:
The lawsuit, filed June 1, does not just object to the National Emergency Library but to the way Internet Archive has long operated. Traditional libraries pay publishers licensing fees, and agree to terms that restrict how many times they can lend an e-book. Internet Archive, by contrast, takes books that have been donated or purchased, scans them and posts them online.
Now they’ve finally been stopped the internet has exploded …
… with people who are FURIOUS they can’t get all their books for free. Well I’m also furious.
STEALING MY WORK AND MY INCOME ISN’T OKAY.
STEALING ANY AUTHOR’S WORK AND INCOME ISN’T OKAY.
The outraged book pirates on Twitter are trying to frame this as a human rights issue. It’s not. Arguments like this are beyond selfish and stupid:

Historic bell going under eBay hammer
PUBLISHED: 19:00 15 December 2012
A HALF-TON piece of Weston's history could go to the highest bidder on eBay this week.
The bell, which belonged to St Saviour’s Church in Locking Road, is for sale on the internet auction site, with a reserve of £1,000.
Paul Routledge, who owns nearly 100 properties in the Weston area, will give the money raised to children’s charity Children’s Hospice South West.
The bell, which he acquired when he transformed the church into a £2.5million residential development in 2007, weighs about 500lb and needs two men to lift it.
Mr Routledge said: “It’s not a functioning bell as the clanger doesn’t work, but the scrap value should be high. Really though, it should stay in Weston.
“This is a good opportunity for the local authority to purchase a piece of Weston’s history while helping a children’s charity.
“One thing I can tell you is that it will have to be pick-up only - I’m not posting it to the winning bidder.”
Mr Routledge, who also runs Landlord Referencing Services in St Margarets Terrace, Weston, put the bell up for auction Wednesday as the Mercury went to press.
He acquired it when the west end wall had to be demolished and rebuilt during the development five years ago and it has been in storage since.
He added: “The children deserve to benefit from it.”
The auction will finish this weekend and any money made will go to the popular children’s charity, which has a hospice in Wraxall, as well as others across the South West.


Brad DeLong orders me to support the Frank-Dodd bill to guarantee mortgages through the FHA.
He modestly neglects to mention that, last week, he told The Dodd and Frank to do this
If I were working for the Treasury right now, I would be saying: make this happen on Monday. There isn't time to set up a new bureaucrtacy--a HOLC, which is what Alan Blinder wanted to do as of three weeks ago. So use an existing bureaucracy: Fannie Mae. If I were Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, I would spend the weekend building a legislative vehicle to introduce Monday morning on an emergency basis to give Fannie Mae the resources and the mission to undertake this mortgage rescue operation, and I think Fannie Mae is the right institution for the task: why does it have its government-sponsored status and guarantee if not to be used for purposes like these at times like these?
OK OK technically he told Hank Paulson to do this, but we know that was a rhetorical device. Saying the Bush administration should lead is like saying pigs should fly -- a sign of desperation not a proposal.


Press Release Summary:
With IP67 quick-disconnect cable connector, UMQ Series allows cable to be attached at end of installation process, virtually eliminating potential for damaged cables. Normally open switch closes when specified minimum weight is applied to safety mat, sending signal to safety mat controller, which in turn, sends stop signal to guarded machine. If cable is damaged during installation or mat operation, it can be replaced in field without replacing entire mat.Â
Original Press Release:
New Safety Mat System from OMRON Automation and Safety Eliminates the Need to Replace an Entire Safety Mat due to Damaged Cables
Patented quick disconnect feature allows cable to be attached at end of installation process, virtually eliminating the potential for damaged cables
SCHAUMBURG, IL – OMRON Automation and Safety introduces UMQ Series Safety Mats. These safety mats feature a patented IP67 quick-disconnect cable connector that promises significant cost savings to the user by reducing inventory requirements, while simplifying installation and replacement of damaged cables.
The quick-disconnect feature allows for last minute cable length changes in the field, and since the cable is not attached until the end of the installation process, the potential for cable damage during installation is significantly reduced. And even if a cable is damaged during installation or mat operation, it can simply be replaced in the field without having to replace an entire mat. The quick-disconnect is designed for backward compatibility with the mat cable location of current OMRON Automation and Safety safety mats.
Black UMQ series safety mats are available in standard sizes with a standardized cable location. Mat cables are currently available in 5 meter and 10 meter lengths. Mats are also available in metric sizes, yellow color for greater visibility, special angular and cut outs for uniquely shaped areas, and customized cable locations. All OMRON Automation and Safety safety mats are engineered to satisfy ANSI/RIA R15.06-1999, ISO 13856-1:2001, ANSI B11.19-2003, CSA Z432-04 and EN1760-1:1998 standards.
A safety mat system offers freedom, flexibility, and reduced operator fatigue when compared with traditional guarding methods such as interlocked fences, pullback restraints or perimeter barriers. Full visibility of and access to the work area is maintained.
The safety mat is a simple, normally open switch. When a specified minimum weight is applied to the safety mat the "switch" closes. This sends a signal to the safety mat controller, which in turn, sends a stop signal to the guarded machine. Each safety mat presents four wires to the safety mat controller. This provides the redundancy required to monitor the wires for open circuits due to incorrect wiring or physical damage to the safety mat wires.
Additionally, safety mats can also simplify routine tasks such as machine set-up, maintenance and repair. Typical applications for safety mats include welding robots, assembly machinery, material handling, packaging machinery, punches, presses and robotic work cells.

Startimes To Invest $94 million In Nigerian PayTV Market
As part of its expansion plan in 2013, digital terrestrial television network provider, Startimes has revealed plans to invest over $94 million (15billion Naira) in the Nigerian pay-television sector before the end of the year.
The Chinese company said the additional $94 million investment will double its investment to $184 million (30 billion naira) before the end of the year, as it had already invested more than the proposed amount in the last two years in a sector dominated by South African company, Multichoice which operates the DStv Satellite Television service, arguably the main satellite TV service in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Chief Operation Officer of Startimes, Joshua Wang, and Director of Operations, Maxwell Loko revealed that the next phase of the company’s expansion drive is to cover additional 15 states before the end of the year, having already established presence in 16 states across the country. He also revealed that the company’s subscription base had already hit one million.
According to Loko, “Since the company began operation in Nigeria about two years ago, we have been able to provide unequal services to Nigerians. Our services are not only cheap; we have been able to demonstrate that Nigerians from all walks of life can have access to digital television.”
He added that “At present, the company has over 700 Nigerians on its pay roll and it intends to generate additional 3,000 direct jobs and 5,000 indirect jobs through its new expansion strategies.”
According to Loko, the new expansion will generate about 8,000 direct and indirect jobs. Some of the products launched include the Startimes DVB-T2 decoder, which will enable subscribers have access to over 70 channels; provision of door-to-door after sale service; and Startimes M50 mobile television, which will only be available to subscribers in Lagos and Abuja.
The Pay TV company also hinted that it is in talks with the Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria (BON) to secure the right to show the forthcoming African Cup of Nations tournament.
Startimes Nigeria is a digital television partnership between Nigeria’s Nigerian Television Authority and Chinese company, Startimes. The Chinese company currently operates in eight African nation s including Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Guinea, Central African Republic and Burundi.

If you are going to do any craft properly you have to blog about it. This started as a blog about rag rugs, now I've moved onto dressmaking and I can feel quilts beckoning from the future.
hi. what is the object on the top left (my left)? I so enjoy watching things being made, especially rugs!
It's a rotary cutter!


The local sharemarket is within a whisker of where it started the year as November continues to deliver the single best monthly performance ever seen for the S&P/ASX 200.
Market observers point to multiple sources for the surge in investor optimism, including low interest rates, low inflation, the promise of COVID-19 vaccines and the peaceful transfer of power to a new President in the United States.
The index gained 39.2 points to close 0.6 per cent higher on Wednesday at 6683.3 points, a new nine-month peak and within a point of its 6684.1 opening mark on January 2, the first session of the year.
During trade the index got as high as 6713.3, just 6.7 per cent below the all-time high reached in February as it moves closer to completing a remarkable V-shaped recovery.
The switch from COVID-19 losers to winners continued on Wednesday, with the information technology, healthcare and communication sectors underperforming, while the financial, material and energy sectors all outperformed.
“Markets are really just giving us a forward look at what the future is going to look like from here on in,” Bell Direct market analyst Jessica Amir said.
“It is a pretty good day and another nine-month high, there is not much to complain about.”
While some market watchers believe the ASX would end 2020 around current levels, Ms Amir said she thinks it could move even higher.
“The Santa rally traditionally starts this week and goes to the second week after New Year’s Eve. The reason that a lot of people think the rally will continue is because the dust has not even settled after the US election … Every single year after a US election the Australian market has rallied.”
Joe Biden’s appointment of former Federal Board chair Janet Yellen as Treasury Secretary was also well-received by markets because she was likely to stimulate the US economy, Ms Amir added.
The energy sector outperformed after oil prices jumped 4 per cent and appeared on track to return to $US50 per barrel. This helped Woodside Petroleum leap 3 per cent to five-month highs of $23.31 and Santos jump 2.7 per cent to nine-month highs of $6.53.
BHP added 3 per cent to a three-month high of $39.46. Among the banks, National Australia Bank surged 3.1 per cent to $24.05, ANZ gained 3 per cent to $23.66, Westpac rose 2.2 per cent to $20.89, and Commonwealth Bank lifted 1.5 per cent to $82.37, its highest close since February 27.
Chief economist at BetaShares ETFs, David Bassanese, agreed there was more money waiting to be deployed into equities, with investors who missed out this month now looking for a buying opportunity.
“The global economy is almost in the cyclical sweet spot,” he said
“[There is] a lot of spare capacity and low inflation. Things can recover without the fear of interest rates or inflation spoiling the party.”
The best performers on Wednesday were Whitehaven Coal, which shot up 10.7 per cent, and Omni Bidgeway, which surged 9.1 per cent.
Flight Centre closed 8.9 per cent higher, Webjet was up 7.1 per cent and airport and shopping centre owner Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield gained 7.3 per cent. The biggest decline was a 7.2 per cent fall for Mesoblast.
Among the technology stocks, NextDC slid 5.9 per cent, Afterpay fell 5.6 per cent and Appen dropped 5.4 per cent.
The S&P/ASX 200 has gained 12.9 per cent so far in November, eclipsing the 8.8 per cent gains of April.
However, State Street Global Advisors’ head of portfolio management in Australia, Bruce Apted, warned the current “vaccine rally has many similarities to a classic junk rally”.
Companies with the highest performance so far this year have dropped, while companies with lower growth, lower earnings revisions or higher debt were suddenly outperforming.
“The junk rally describes the average characteristics of the companies as they have been this year,” he told The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald.
“If the vaccine returns us to the old world, then many of these companies will likely enjoy real benefits and will likely see aspects of quality and risk improve. Of course, it is still unclear just what the ‘new normal’ will look like and precisely how much many of these businesses will actually benefit.”
He added there were two risks in the vaccine rotation – that high quality companies would underperform and that “beaten up and riskier parts of the market” would rally.

System Theory Essay
Effective management is ‘making the right decisions and successfully implementing them.’ Contrast the concept of effectiveness with the concept of efficiency. Describe basic systems theory as it applies to organizations and discuss the concepts of efficiency and effectiveness in terms of inputs, throughputs (or ‘the transformation process’) and outputs. Include some examples in your discussion.
Abstract Efficiency means doing things right, while effective means doing the right things. In management, managers will strive for low resource waste (high efficiency) and high goal attainment (high effectiveness). Systems theory is an extension of the humanistic perspective that describes …show more content…
Systems theory has had a significant effect on management science and understanding organizations. First, let’s look at “what is a system?” A system is a collection of part unified to accomplish an overall goal. If one part of the system is removed, the nature of the system is changed as well. For example, a pile of sand is not a system. If one removes a sand particle, you’ve still got a pile of sand. However, a functioning car is a system. Remove the carburettor and you’ve no longer got a working car. A system can be looked at as having inputs, processes, outputs and outcomes. Systems share feedback among each of these four aspects of the systems.
Let’s look at an organization. Inputs would include resources such as raw materials, money, technologies and people. These inputs go through a process where they’re planned, organized, motivated and controlled, ultimately to meet the organization’s goals. Outputs would be products or services to a market. Outcomes would be, for example, enhanced quality of life or productivity


Best advice from MOM...Cj Darlington of titletrakk.com is running a Mother's Day post asking author's about the best advice they've received from their mother's.
(I think it will publish on Mother's Day)
The best advice from my mom wasn't something she spoke often, but lived with her life. It was, " Everyone is worthy of being considered a friend."
My mom is the type of person who you sit next to on the airplane and at the end of the flight you're exchanging addresses. And she will write, I promise!
My mom is friendly and caring. She proved with her words and actions that people matter--all people, not only those the world considers important.

Forgiveness is not a feeling. If we waited to feel like it, we would never do it.
Forgiveness is not forgetting.
Forgiveness is not excusing. Ie. “That’s Ok”, “Don’t worry about it”, “You couldn’t help it.” “It wasn’t really your fault”. Excusing always falls short of real reconciliation.
Forgiveness is a decision. A choice we make. God chooses to forgive us. Jesus used the metaphor of cancelling a debt! Forgiveness is like that. Somebody owes you big time for what they did – you choose to cancel the debt.

We upgraded to a harbour view with balcony which was definitely a good idea as we had a great view of the harbour and people. There is music quite late playing across the road but we just enjoyed it and had earplugs just in case. Hotel staff were excellent and did that bit extra to ensure we were happy. Although we holidayed at the end of August the hotel didnt feel at all crowded and a lot of the time the pool/garden area only had a few people which was great, ost people stayed on the beaches. We travelled with our children (18 and 12), they were in a back room but joined us for our balcony view every night. There was plenty for them to do as there is a water park just up the road, a beach a couple of kilometres away was really good for body boarding, we also went sailing and hired a small boat. Driving is quite fun as we didnt realise how mountainous the area was so be prepared for plenty of bends. Really enjoyed this holiday.

Never stay here! unless you are willing to sleep in a cave, or a box because their rooms are miniatures, some don't even have proper windows (have a ventilator only), and living rooms are a joke, u can't relax there in the evening after coming home exhausted by sun! Beds are those temporary sofa bed types, which are uncomfortable and noisy. Staff is icing on the cake! if you dare complain, they give you terrible snares, and instead of shouting at you they start shouting at each other - a great intimidating tactic! After first complaint, and that drama you never dare open your mouth again, in case they start beating you up!

We arrived at the hotel without kids for the first time in 20 years with trepidation but were surprised by the charming and friendly nature of every single person at the hotel. Every request was attended to speedily and with a smile. My wife is gluten free and tho we stayed half board, every effort was made to accommodate her needs in a caring way.
The whole place had a lovely feel. Go for it and thank you to all concerned

If you're looking for a relaxing holiday in great surroundings then this is the place. The food is yummy - amazing choices, all staff very friendly and helpful. Pool area spotless and having the choice to venture down to the private platforms where you can then explore the rocks and swim in the sea, is an added bonus. The hotel provides appropriate footwear and snorkels for free. Tip for boat excursion - go down to harbour and go on the Galatea trip - brilliant!!!

Michigan personal income plummets to lowest in history compared to nation
- Michigan’s personal income is falling farther behind the nation
- The average Michigan resident earns 87 cents for every dollar earned on average in the U.S.
- Incentives to increase knowledge-based jobs could provide a boost
Personal income in Michigan hit the lowest mark in history compared to the U.S. average last year, another in a sobering litany of data points that illustrate the enormous challenges faced by the state.
The average income of Michigan’s roughly 10 million residents in 2022 was $57,038, compared to a national average of $65,470, according to recently released census data. That means for every $1 the average U.S. resident earns, a Michigander earns just 87.12 cents. That’s lower than the former record of 87.13 cents, which Michigan hit in 2009.
Per-capita personal income is the total of all income state residents receive in wages, proprietors' income, dividends, interest, rents, and government benefits, divided by the total number of residents. Michigan, which was above average for most of the 20th Century, now ranks 39th in the nation in personal income, and is the lowest in the Midwest. Ohio is ranked 38th; Indiana, 34th, Wisconsin, 27th; Illinois 16th’ and Minnesota, 13th.
“This is the poorest we’ve been compared to the country, ever — I just think it’s shocking,” said Lou Glazer, president of Michigan Future, Inc. “It’s the culmination of 40 years of decline, irrespective of what party is in charge in Lansing or Washington.”
- Survey: 1 in 4 young adults expect to leave Michigan within 10 years
- Michigan has more job openings than workers. Are retirees the answer?
- Michigan flatlining on jobs: No job growth expected through 2030
The personal income of Michiganders peaked 70 years ago, in 1953, when the auto industry was thriving and union jobs guaranteed a middle class life. That year, the state ranked 8th in the nation in per capita income. Michigan was still ranked 16th in 1999, before a steady decline over more than the next two decades.
Michigan’s low personal income is offset somewhat by a lower-than-average cost of living — the state ranks 35th in that measure. Still, the data indicates that Michigan residents today are, on average, worse off financially than their parents, when compared to other states.
“People have to realize Michigan is no longer a rich state,” said Eric Lupher, president of Citizens Research Council. “Michigan used to be a high-income state — the birth of the middle class, arsenal of democracy and all that stuff -- and we’ve hit a new low as a state.”
Most of the state’s economic indicators are below average today. Michigan now ranks 37th in median household income and 34th in the percentage of adults with a bachelor’s degree or higher. We also rank 49th in population growth since 2000, a factor that discourages companies from expanding their Michigan operations or moving to the state.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer launched a commission to examine how the state can retain and lure college graduates, and has supported aggressive business incentives to attract battery assembly plants to support the state’s auto industry.
Complicating those economic revitalization efforts currently is a United Auto Workers strike now entering its fourth week. The strike has cost the U.S. economy about $4 billion so far, with Michigan bearing more than its share.
Changes in the auto industry over the past 40 years account for some of Michigan’s slump from a wealthy state to the poorest in the Midwest, said Brian Calley, president of the Small Business Association of Michigan.
There are fewer autoworkers today than a generation ago, and those workers are paid, when adjusted for inflation, less than their parents earned.
“The drop really tracks with the change in the industrial economy and the amount of income you can make in those areas,” Calley said.
Lupher said he believes the message is becoming clear to state leaders that “the status quo isn’t acceptable anymore.
“Thinking about who we are as a state differently is a necessary step to moving forward,” he said.
Calley suggests that the state needs to examine its K-12 education system, which scores below average in the National Assessment of Educational Progress, often called the Nation’s Report Card. In 2022, Michigan fourth graders ranked 40th in the country in reading.
“There’s no reason to expect (the economy) will improve until we have an education system that is redesigned to meet the requirements of today’s workforce,” Calley said.
Glazer said the state’s economic development efforts continue to be more “factory-based rather than knowledge-based.”
Michigan, he said, needs to focus on jobs that require college degrees, which are more likely to boost the economy.
“Until we do,” he said, “we’ll be one of the poorest states in the nation.”
To Lupher, the new data on per-capita income is another bullet point to help convince residents that the state has a problem. “It’s like the frog and the boiling water,” he said. “We as a state are the frog and we’ve had things deteriorate around us slowly, and we just don’t realize it.
“You're in the bottom third in all these measures, and those measures can open eyes when we realize the heat is turned on and it doesn’t bode well for me or my business and my community,” Lupher said. “What are we going to do?”

After two years of a public health crisis, the war in Ukraine, and skyrocketing energy and food prices, concern about inflation is dominating U.S. media headlines and the political agenda. Interest rate hikes are now underway and considered the “common sense” response to inflation by the government and Fed.
This solution causes further harm to already struggling workers and families by raising unemployment, and potentially triggering a global recession. Still, for decades, rate hikes have been the conventional approach to maintaining price stability.
- Fossil fuel driven inflation or “fossilflation” is a major driver of price instability. Fossil fuel prices are volatile, and especially vulnerable to geopolitical factors and speculation. This volatility has direct and indirect effects on inflation, as energy is an essential input across economic sectors. Transitioning to renewable energy will help lower household energy costs, and foster long-term price stability, economic resilience and inclusive social well-being.
- A failure to keep warming below 1.5°C will increase future inflation risk. Climate driven weather disasters erode infrastructure and supply chains, impact food production, and reduce worker productivity. These disruptions will drive higher prices as the scale and frequency of extreme weather increase.
- Interest rate hikes are a blunt tool to tackle current inflation that will instead cause social harm and could delay the green transition. Rate hikes will not address fossilflation, corporate profiteering or any of the supply-side causes of inflation.
This report argues for a bold new approach to addressing inflation. It recommends specific monetary and fiscal policies that tackle price instability in a way that helps usher in a more resilient and equitable economic system:
- Leveraging fiscal policy as part of a full employment and price stability agenda. Expand public investments in housing retrofits, healthcare, energy efficiency, research and development, regenerative agriculture and renewable energy to strengthen social and ecological infrastructure and bring about lower costs through agendas like Build Back Better, Medicare for All, a Federal Job Guarantee, or a Green New Deal.
- Implementing a new green monetary policy framework by replacing interest rate tinkering with mission-oriented qualitative and quantitative credit regulations that shift resource use away from unsustainable or socially damaging applications. The Fed can further introduce higher capital requirements to disincentivize fossil fuel lending by banks, and implement a green lending scheme to accelerate the energy transition and complement the core fiscal responses.
- Introducing an Inter-Agency Council on Price Stability to share responsibility and strengthen coordination and communication across government and improve the public sector’s administrative capacity.
More immediate measures include:
- Providing immediate cost relief and mitigating profit-spirals by using targeted price controls, expanding healthcare, moving towards antitrust reform, and passing the Protecting the Right to Organize Act to strengthen the labor movement.
- Strengthening essential goods and services sectors with free public transportation, support for farmworkers, and a consumption savings strategy.
Inflation impacts everyone but it takes a particularly harsh toll on low-income and frontline communities, already bearing a disproportionate burden from the pandemic and the climate crisis. Interest rate hikes will only increase that burden, making mortgages unaffordable, raising unemployment and stalling much needed investment. To tackle current inflation without causing further harm, we need a new approach to price stability — one that puts the needs of workers, families and communities first.

The Commandments of the Lord are not Grievous
by Cinda Carter
7/04/2013 / Poetry
Listen one and all
Listen to the Holy Spirits call.
Jesus speaks of His love for us,
Through His Word through trust.
It is clear to see...
That we have a choice to believe.
In the Great I Am,
We choose to make a stand.
In this land of the free...
We have our freedom to believe.
One day this fact may not stand true.
For the red, white and blue.
God please, help us to choose Your ways...
As we face each new day.
God has given us His commandments.
So, we may experience His joy of contentment.
Let us forsake the old man...
And fulfill God's plan.
Jesus desire for us is to rejoice always,
In whatever circumstance we may face by doing it God's way.
We cannot please Jesus...
Without faith through works as the Holy Spirit leads us.
Ask Him to purify your intentions.
Because intentions can be pretentious.
His desire for us is to win the race...
But it is impossible if we do not place,
Our faith in the Lord Jesus.
He takes our heavy load and sees us.
In a state of ruins as we grope and stumble...
Through our own sin we fumble.
We need God's absolutes to keep us on track to free us.
Because the commandments of the Lord are not grievous.

Nigerian fintech start-up Nearpays flew the country’s flag high at the inaugural Gitex Africa tech conference in Marrakech, Morocco, on Friday when it was awarded the coveted Fintech and Blockchain Technology category of the Supernova Challenge.
Nearpays, a full-service financial payment platform that acts as an end-to-end financial service for all our clients, beat out stiff competition to scoop the $10 000 prize.
Nearpays beats stiff competition
Speaking to TechCabal after the win, Nearpays founder Victor Daniyan put into perspective what winning the competition means to his company and its future. “I’m super excited that it brings opportunities for start-ups in Nigeria, and we all have access to a better future. It shows that we can get to the top with the right platform,” Daniyan said. “This means more work.
The Gitex Africa Supernova Challenge is the biggest pitch competition in Africa, with a total cash prize of $100 000 for categories such as Cybersecurity, AI and Digital Cities, Health Tech, and Sustainability and Agritech.
“The competition was very tough. One thing I know for sure, especially for start up in Nigeria, is that we need a lot of mentorship to get to a productive stage. I’m sure that with the right mentorship, we can all do better,” Daniyan said.
“I came with the intention to win all the way from Nigeria. I was determined; I was ready. It was a surprise, but I was also very determined to win,” Daniyan said. “I took the time to understand the people hearing the pitch. I took the time to research them, what businesses they were operating in, and a little bit about their personality from their LinkedIn page. I was able to make them understand our business in a very short space of time – just going straight to the point.”
Nearpays simplifies online payments
Daniyan said the prize will go a long to helping Nearpays get its payment card system licence, which costs around $15 000.
Nearpays simplifies online payments based on the principle that payments should be seamless. The company has developed a way to put point-of-sale transactions back into the hands of users. The company says, “The experience is simple, on the go, and comes with no extra bank charges for all our users.”
“I’ve been in telecommunications for about five years now. I started with Huawei and then moved to Nokia, where I helped set up the 5G space in Nigeria. My team has helped me come up with the right decisions and product. We have continuous development.”
By most accounts Gitex Africa was an overwhelming success, bringing start-up, founders, investors, telecoms and IT companies from all over Africa and the globe together in Morocco to outline and develop the future of tech in Africa. Organisers welcomed over 900 big tech companies, government entities, start-ups and participants from more than 100 countries across ten halls and 45 000sqm of exhibition space in a purpose-built super venue at Place Bab Jdid, Bd Al Yarmouk in the Red City of Marrakech.
Fintech prize puts Abuja start-ups on the map
“It’s an awesome platform; it’s an awesome opportunity. I have not seen anything this big in a long time. I’m super excited that we have this in Africa. I’m reminded of one quote from Google that said Africa will have the next set of billions of users to appear on any tech platform in the world,” Daniyan explained. “It’s an opportunity for start-ups to connect, have mentors and show their products to the world.”
“The competition has allowed me to connect with good mentors,” Daniyan said. “Of course, I’m still young, and I need mentors who have come before me, as well as give us publicity so more people get to know about our product in Abuja because most of the start-ups that are thriving are coming from Lagos, but it’s an opportunity for people to see that Abuja is also thriving in the start-up space in Nigeria as well, coming up with the best products and new technologies coming out from Nigeria and not coming from abroad. This will inspire more start-ups and show them an opportunity for start-ups in Abuja.”
