Basalt boys drop pair in opening act
December 9, 2002
On Friday Basalt couldn’t put two halfs together, on Saturday the Longhorns boys basketball team couldn’t get its buzzer-beating 3-pointer to fall.
Opening the 2002-03 season with a two-game home stand at the BHS Bighouse, Basalt dropped two disappointing games to nonleague opponents: 67-50 to Kent Denver Friday, 65-62 to Moffat County Saturday.
“We rose to the occasion, but we didn’t seem to get the breaks,” said BHS coach Mike Green.
On Friday, Basalt set the tone against Kent Denver in the first half, dictating play and taking a 31-24 lead at halftime. In the second half, however, Kent Denver rallied back, stretching a 5 point lead at the end of the third quarter to 17 by the end.
“Kent’s a good ball club, but we played extremely well. We just couldn’t put two halfs together,” the coach said. “We didn’t control our emotions in the second half, but we also had some bad bounces, and then turnovers that created baskets for them. And once the momentum went their way, we couldn’t get it back.”
Dillon Johnson led the Longhorns with 13 points, followed by Ryan Thompson with 12 and Danny Popish with 6.

On Saturday vs. Moffat County, the Longhorns kept within striking distance the entire game. Trailing by 6 at halftime, 40-34, Basalt cut the deficit to 1 before the fourth quarter, 50-49, and remained in the hunt down the stretch.
At the buzzer, Basalt’s game-tying 3-pointer to fall came up short, Green said.
“We got into foul trouble early on, with three starters with three fouls in the first half, but we had some young kids step up and play well, and that’s going to benefit us later,” he said.
“Defensively, we did a great job, but again, we didn’t seem to get the breaks ? funny bounces going their way, calls not going our way, that kinda thing. But those things even out over time. We’ve got no reason to panic ? we’re looking pretty good.”
Thompson had 15 points for Basalt, followed by Popish with 14 and Kyle Kappeli with 13.
On Tuesday, Basalt travels to face Rifle at 7:30 p.m. Last season, in another nonleague game vs. Rifle, Basalt lost by four points.
“Hopefully we’ll come up with the same defensive effort to give ourselves a chance to win the ball game,” Green said.

In the age of voice search, the landscape of website content strategies is evolving rapidly. To maintain visibility and relevance, it is imperative for businesses and organizations to adapt their content to cater to the nuances of voice search. This necessitates a shift towards understanding user intent, optimizing for long-tail keywords, crafting conversational content, and structuring information for featured snippets. The art of effective website content in the voice search era lies in the ability to anticipate and fulfill the needs of users seeking information through voice-activated queries. This concise guide aims to explore the fundamental strategies essential for enhancing website content in the voice search era, ensuring that businesses remain at the forefront of this technological shift.
Understanding the user’s intent is crucial for creating website content that effectively caters to their needs in the voice search era. User behavior and search algorithms play a pivotal role in shaping the way content is discovered and consumed. With voice search becoming increasingly prevalent, it’s imperative to comprehend how users phrase their queries and the specific information they seek. By analyzing user behavior and understanding the intent behind their searches, website content can be tailored to provide relevant and valuable answers. Search algorithms also prioritize content that aligns with user intent, making it essential to optimize for these factors. Ultimately, a deep understanding of user behavior and search algorithms is essential for crafting website content that resonates with the audience in the voice search era.
Optimizing for long-tail keywords is a crucial strategy for enhancing website content in the voice search era. Long-tail keywords are specific and often longer phrases that users are likely to use when conducting voice searches. Incorporating long-tail keywords in website content is essential for capturing the nuances of user intent and increasing the likelihood of appearing in voice search results. Effective optimization for long-tail keywords requires thorough keyword research to identify relevant phrases that align with the target audience’s search behaviors. Additionally, content optimization should focus on naturally integrating these long-tail keywords into the website’s content to provide valuable information that directly addresses user queries. By prioritizing long-tail keyword optimization, websites can improve their visibility and relevance in the voice search landscape, ultimately driving more organic traffic.
Crafting conversational content is essential for engaging users in the voice search era. When creating content, it’s crucial to use natural language that mirrors how people speak in everyday conversations. This approach not only aligns with voice search patterns but also enhances user engagement. To craft conversational content, focus on addressing user queries in a more colloquial tone, using words and phrases that people commonly use when speaking. By doing so, you can create a more relatable and accessible experience for your audience, increasing the likelihood of capturing voice search queries. Additionally, conversational content can foster a stronger connection with users, making them more likely to interact with and return to your website. Therefore, integrating natural language and prioritizing user engagement in your content strategy is vital in the voice search era.
To effectively structure content for featured snippets in the voice search era, it is imperative to meticulously organize information in a concise and informative manner that directly addresses user queries. Content format plays a crucial role in this process, as it should be structured in a way that aligns with the common formats of featured snippets, such as paragraphs, lists, or tables. Using these formats enhances the chances of your content being selected for a featured snippet. Additionally, strategic keyword placement is essential for capturing the attention of search engines. By identifying the key phrases or questions that users are likely to ask and integrating them naturally into the content, you can optimize your chances of securing a featured snippet position, thereby increasing visibility and driving organic traffic to your website.

No clue on the release date. The label situation is set in stone, but it's a "new" label that is sort of a joint venture between 2 already established outfits. I've heard the name, but don't remember it. I can only name one of the established labels of the top of my head, so I'll keep mum on who the parties are.

I wasn't at the recent Empty Bottle shows, but I understand they played "Funeral Singers". That IS on the new record, and is pretty much the title track, at least if Tim was prone to naming records after particular songs. Which he usually isn't.
I'm gonna see Tim in the next week or so. He's going to be BUSY, but if there's time I might hit him for some of these details.

DAVAO CITY, Philippines — The City Transport and Traffic Management Office will strictly implement starting December 1, a city ordinance that would prohibit pedestrians to cross or walk in the street or road unlawfully.
“In December we will apprehend and penalize violators,” CTTMO Chief Rhodelio Poliquit said.
The traffic agency said that violators will be penalized by paying a certain fine or undergo community service and seminar. Flyers and other informative materials were widely distributed Tuesday to the general public as part of massive information campaign.
Juvy Nepal, a local resident, said that she’s okay with the implementation since it would prevent accidents.
Nepal, an overseas worker in Japan, said that in Japan, jaywalking ordinance help ease the traffic flow.
“I am still here for a month, I do not carelessly cross the roads for there are penalties for jaywalkers,” she said. “Here, there are separate lanes for cars, people, and bicycles.”
Also a Dabawenyo since birth, Angel Quillo, 19, said, “it should be implemented.”
Quillo admitted that she has been jaywalking in two-lane streets, but not in four to six lanes like in diversion roads.
“It is okay for the sake of safety for the people crossing the street,” she said.
Meanwhile, a high school teacher who hails from Cebu and has been here for four years, said that what is important is the information dissemination.
“What I could remember in Cebu [back in the 90s], for how many years, there were still a lot being apprehended. There were a lot who stayed in detention for they can’t afford the fines,” said Keith Bacalso, a public school teacher in Maa National High School.
Davao’s “Jaywalking Law” has been around since 1973 under City Ordinance 778 series of 1973. The law was amended in 1992 that includes a provision that violators will be jailed and charged with criminal offense.
The succeding amended ordinance, however, was decriminalized, removing the criminal offense for the violators and instead a fine of P100 would be charged to them as a penalty.
Ten years later, the city, once again implemented the Jaywalking Law, which was limited to the downtown streets where pedestrian lanes are found. (davaotoday.com)

Hello, I am trying to reconnect my SmartThings hub to my Harmony hubs. I currently have 3 Harmony Smart Control hubs, with the third being added a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, I can’t get SmartThings to see ANY of my hubs currently and hope someone can help. Originally, I had configured 2 Harmony hubs in the SmartThings app and had no issues with the SmartThings app discovering them or the activities on each hub. I added a third hub a few weeks ago and decided to add it to my SmartThings config over the weekend. No matter what I tried, the app wouldn’t discover it. I then decided to remove the 2 existing hubs from SmartThings, rebooted the ST hub and all of the Harmony hubs, and tried discovery again, hoping it would rediscover all 3 hubs. Unfortunately, it won’t find ANY of the hubs at this stage - It just sits there in discovery and spins forever (left it running for 10+ minutes). Any ideas or tips?
The SmartThings app and the SmartThings IDE show this generic error: “Connection to the hub timed out. Please restart the hub and try again.” I did read on this forum earlier that this behavior can occur if you have a “dead” or duplicate hub in your myHarmony configuration. I originally did have some issues adding the third hub and DID have a duplicate, but I deleted the duplicate weeks ago and now myHarmony correctly shows that I have 3 Harmony hubs and 1 650 remote. I’m wondering if perhaps there might be a remnant of a hub that I can’t see that is causing the issue. Any suggestions? I do have support incidents open with SmartThings and Logitech but to be honest, SmartThings support was terrible.

Breaking up is hard to do, as the song goes, but what about undoing the ultimate commitment, the “I do” of marriage? Annulment, often seen as the lesser-known sibling of divorce, offers a unique way to officially declare that a marriage never happened. It’s like hitting the reset button on your love life. In this lively guide, we’ll take you through the steps to file for annulment, and, like a phoenix from the ashes, start anew with a clean slate.
When “I Do” Becomes “I Don’t”
The Basics of Annulment
Annulment is like a legal magic trick that makes your marriage vanish. While divorce ends a valid marriage, an annulment declares that the marriage never existed, at least in the eyes of the law. Annulment is a legal process that declares a marriage null and void as if it never existed. Unlike divorce, which terminates a valid marriage, annulment retroactively invalidates the marriage itself. It is as though the marriage were erased from the legal records, allowing both parties to return to their single status.
To understand the difference between divorce and annulment, consider the following analogy: divorce is akin to ending a contract, while annulment is comparable to declaring the contract null and void because it was fundamentally flawed or based on false pretenses.
You’ll need to meet specific grounds for annulment, such as:
- Lack of Consent
- Underage Marriage
It’s essential to note that annulment is not solely based on the presence of these grounds but also on the ability to prove them in a court of law. The burden of proof falls on the party seeking the annulment. So, when “I do” turns into “I don’t,” annulment might be your Houdini-like escape.
Pros and Cons of Annulment
Annulment has its pros and cons. On the plus side, it offers a way to erase a legally invalid marriage swiftly. Meanwhile, annulment can be more challenging to obtain since it requires proving specific grounds. Take a look at some other pros and cons of annulment in tabular form.
|Restoration of Single Status
|Stringent Grounds for Annulment
|Avoidance of Stigmatization
|Complex Legal Process
|Privacy and Confidentiality
|Financial and Property Division
|Emotional and Psychological Impact
It is essential to weigh these pros and cons carefully and seek legal counsel to make an informed decision when considering annulment as a means to undoing “I do.”
Where to Begin the “Annulment Adventure”
Consult with an Attorney
To navigate the twists and turns of annulment, a legal Sherpa is a must. Start by consulting with an experienced family law attorney who can guide you through the process and help you understand the legal requirements and paperwork needed. Think of them as your legal GPS on this annulment adventure. Your attorney will serve as your legal advocate and advisor throughout the annulment adventure. They will help you:
- Determine if annulment is a viable option based on your circumstances.
- Explain the legal grounds for annulment and whether your case meets the criteria.
- Guide you in gathering the necessary evidence to support your grounds for annulment.
- Prepare the annulment petition and other required documents.
- Provide representation in court, if needed, and ensure your rights and interests are protected.
Remember that navigating the annulment process without legal guidance can be daunting and may lead to costly mistakes. An attorney ensures that your annulment adventure is guided by expertise, not guesswork.
Gather Your Evidence
An annulment is no magic act without evidence. Collect documents, records, and any information that supports your grounds for annulment. This might include marriage certificates, witness statements, or any other proof that bolsters your case. The more evidence, the better your chances of a successful annulment.
The specific evidence needed will depend on the grounds for annulment. Common types of evidence include:
- Marriage certificates: These documents serve as a foundational piece of evidence, confirming the existence of the marriage.
- Witness statements: Affidavits or statements from witnesses who can attest to the specific grounds for annulment can be persuasive evidence. For example, witnesses might confirm that one party was already married at the time of the marriage, providing evidence of bigamy.
- Documentation: Any relevant documentation, such as medical records or psychological evaluations, may be necessary to support grounds like impotence or lack of consent.
- Communication records: In cases of fraud or misrepresentation, evidence of communications, such as emails or messages, can help establish the deception.
- Financial records: In situations involving financial deception, records of financial transactions or hidden assets can be crucial evidence.
Furthermore, you must effectively organize your evidence. Your attorney will guide you in structuring the evidence logically, ensuring it aligns with the legal grounds for annulment. Thorough documentation and credible witnesses can be the keys to a successful annulment adventure.
Filing the Petition
Think of the annulment petition as your ticket to the big show. Your attorney will help you draft and file this document, outlining the specific grounds for your annulment.
The annulment petition performs several essential functions:
- It formally initiates the annulment proceedings, setting the legal process in motion.
- It identifies the parties involved in the marriage and the specific grounds for annulment.
- It lays the foundation for the evidence that will be presented during the proceedings.
The completeness and accuracy of the annulment petition are of paramount importance. Any omissions or errors may delay the process or even jeopardize the success of the annulment.
Remember, the more detail, the better – it’s your moment to shine on the annulment stage.
Notify the Other Party
Just like any good show, you need to let your co-star know what’s happening. Notify your soon-to-be-ex-spouse about the annulment proceedings. They’ll have a chance to respond and make their case. Let the courtroom drama begin!
The notification process is essential for the following reasons:
- It upholds the principles of due process, ensuring that all parties have the chance to participate in the proceedings.
- It allows the respondent to present their case, supporting or contesting the grounds for annulment.
- It sets the stage for a legal exchange between the parties, where each side can voice their arguments and present evidence.
The notification process, while necessary, can sometimes trigger emotional and legal disputes, making it a critical juncture in the annulment adventure.
The Annulment Process
Discovery and Negotiation
Now it’s time to dig deep into the annulment process. Your attorneys will engage in the discovery phase, collecting and exchanging information to build their cases. Negotiation may follow, with the possibility of reaching an agreement without going to trial. It’s like the annulment courtroom’s dance floor – some smooth moves could lead to a swift resolution.
In some cases, parties may reach an agreement through mediation. This method can be a more efficient and amicable way to resolve annulment disputes.
Mediation often includes a neutral third party who assists in facilitating the negotiation and reaching a resolution. It can save time and costs, as well as reduce the emotional stress associated with a trial.
Trial (The Main Event)
If an agreement can’t be reached, it’s time for the annulment main event: the trial. Both sides present their cases, and the judge decides the fate of your annulment. It’s the courtroom equivalent of a high-stakes showdown.
Celebrating a Fresh Start
The moment of truth arrives when the judge delivers the verdict. If you get the annulment, you’ve officially undone the “I do.” It’s time to celebrate your legal magic trick!
After an annulment, individuals regain their independence and the freedom to make decisions about their lives without the constraints of a broken marriage. This newfound autonomy allows for a renewed focus on personal goals, ambitions, and self-discovery. Unlike the uncertainties that can linger after a separation or divorce, annulment offers a sense of legal closure. The marriage is declared null and void, erasing it from the legal records and providing a definitive ending to what may have been a challenging or deceptive union.
With the annulment in hand, you’re free to start anew. In other words, an annulment doesn’t have the uncertainties that can linger after a separation or divorce, an annulment offers a sense of legal closure. The marriage is declared null and void, erasing it from the legal records and providing a definitive ending to what may have been a challenging or deceptive union.
You can move forward as if the marriage never happened.
It’s a fresh slate to embrace new opportunities and make different choices. The annulment process encourages individuals to reevaluate their priorities. They can focus on personal development, relationships, and goals that may have been neglected during the marriage.
Don’t forget to consult with an attorney to understand the legal and financial implications of your annulment. Your attorney can guide you on the next steps, whether that involves dividing property, discussing spousal support, or addressing any other post-annulment matters.
Don’t Skip the Legal Encore
Your annulment is just the opening act of a new chapter in your life. Don’t skip the legal encore – consider estate planning, financial adjustments, and other preparations to ensure your future is secure.
Embrace the Fresh Start
With your annulment complete and your future ahead, it’s time to embrace your fresh start. Whether that means exploring new relationships, focusing on your career, or pursuing your passions, the world is your oyster.
For some, celebrating a fresh start after annulment includes the possibility of finding new love and forming meaningful relationships. The freedom to explore romantic connections can lead to finding a partner who better aligns with one’s values and desires.
Statistics have shown that individuals who have experienced an annulment often have a clearer understanding of what they seek in a relationship. They can apply the lessons learned from their previous marriage to ensure healthier and more fulfilling partnerships in the future.
However, it is important to note that while new relationships are certainly a possibility, it is also important to take the time to heal and grow before embarking on a new romantic journey. The period after an annulment can be an opportunity to establish emotional well-being and self-assuredness before seeking new love.
Conclusion: A Fresh Start After “I Don’t”
In summary, an annulment might not involve a magic wand or top hat, but it offers a chance for a fresh start after the “I don’t” moments in your life. With the right legal support, a little evidence, and a dash of determination, you can make your past marriage disappear like a rabbit in a hat. So, as you undo your “I do,” embrace your fresh start, because the world is full of new beginnings waiting for you.

Young Visionary Leaders Ghana Blog Post World Water Day 2024
Water’s Impact On Life And The Significance Of World Water Day
Did you know the average person uses about 80 gallons of water a day? Every drop counts, yet we often take this essential resource for granted. Water is the lifeblood of our planet, sustaining ecosystems, regulating climate, and shaping landscapes. However, water scarcity is a growing threat, leading to devastating droughts, crippling food production, and even fueling conflicts over this precious resource.
The good news is, we can all be water warriors! World Water Day, on March 22nd, serves as a powerful reminder to take action. By using water wisely, advocating for sustainable practices, and inspiring others, we can ensure a future where water flows freely for generations to come.
Life on Earth hinges on a remarkable molecule: water. It is more than just a drink; it is the very essence of our world, coursing through vibrant ecosystems, nurturing towering redwoods and playful otters in a cascading stream. Water nourishes the crops that fill our plates, from juicy strawberries to golden wheat grains. It is the invisible thread weaving together thriving communities, ensuring factories hum and homes have running water.
However, have you ever stopped to think just how much our daily activities rely on this precious resource? In the areas of;
Water is the cornerstone of life and prosperity. It sustains human health, drives economic growth, and maintains environmental balance. It is essential to remember that every drop of water is valuable, and it is our responsibility to protect and sustainably manage this precious resource for everyone’s benefit.
Water is essential for life on our planet. However, did you know that less than 1% of the world’s water is available for humans? This is because most water is either saltwater or frozen in glaciers.
Moreover, various factors such as pollution, climate change, and overuse threaten our valuable water sources. These challenges affect our health and well-being and damage the environment that relies on water for survival. Every year on March 22nd, World Water Day reminds us of the importance of protecting our water resources. Our responsibility is to ensure that we use water sustainably and protect our resources; we need to be mindful of our water usage and adopt sustainable practices to ensure a better future for the planet and ourselves.

Royce Da 5’9″ & DJ Premier Bring Adrian Younge’s Role In PRhyme To Focus (Video)
In the studio, the same HeadQCourterz that’s said to be closing, DJ Premier and Royce Da 5’9″ plug away at the PRhyme album (December 9). In the second installment of “Raiders Of The Lost Art,” Bun B narrates, while Preem and Nickel explain the role of third member, Adrian Younge.
From New York and Detroit, the pair look at the album, and the decision to pull all samples from one place, the producer/musician who has worked extensively with Ghostface Killah, Souls Of Mischief, and others.
After two looks, this is so much more than just another Tuesday LP-drop.

Remnants of the blown up wall of separation between Gaza and Egypt. The Palestinians in Gaza have been under a blockade by the Israeli regime., a photo by Pan-African News Wire File Photos on Flickr.
Egypt to open Gaza border crossing
By Middle East correspondent Anne Barker
Egypt plans to permanently open its border crossing with the Gaza Strip in an attempt to ease the four-year blockade imposed by Israel.
For years Egypt has largely complied with the Israeli blockade on Gaza, which has stopped or restricted the flow of most supplies going in and banned most people from leaving.
But now Egypt has declared its border at Rafah will open almost daily from Saturday - and stay open permanently.
Women of all ages and men under 18 or over 40 will be able to leave. Others will need a visa.
Students of all ages with letters of acceptance from Egyptian universities will also be allowed to enter Egypt without any restrictions.
The new interim Egyptian government has reportedly made the decision to end the division between Palestinians in Gaza and elsewhere.
But Israel, which did ease part of the blockade last year, says opening the border could allow weapons and terrorists to enter Gaza.
The move suggested a further policy shift since the overthrow of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, whose government cooperated with the Jewish state in enforcing a blockade on the Islamist Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip and has a 1979 peace treaty with Israel.
Under Mr Mubarak, Egypt only sporadically opened up the Rafah border crossing for food and medicine or to let through people, mainly those seeking medical treatment or travelling to study from the area which is home to about 1.5 million Palestinians.

If this month’s news of Skype all over mobile phones of the world got you thinking how hot the VoIP company is right now, then you might be pleased to hear that eBay is letting the communications service loose on the stock market with an IPO all of its own.
Skype generated a cool $551 million in revenue in 2008 and, although they are beginning to run into the old market saturation problem, it doesn’t take a genius to see it’s all about the services they’ll be offering in the future rather the number of accounts.
So, if you think the future is sky blue, then you might want to set aside some cash for next year. Buy low in 2008, sell high peaking some time around 2013. That’s my completely inexperienced and entirely non-culpable piece of financial advice for the day.

Shannon Malone Ridgeway is a happy bride enjoying her honeymoon when a tragic scuba diving accident puts her in a coma. Ten years later she awakens to find everything is different. Her husband, Edmund, has lost his life to cancer after years of maintaining a vigil at her bedside. Technology has seen dramatic advancements, leaving her ill-equipped to return to her career as a graphic designer. These challenges would be enough, but Shannon faces another obstacle in the form of her sister-in-law, Millicent, who is determined to strip Shannon of any benefits from the Ridgeway fortune. Shannon faces another obstacle with her long-term doctor (and Edmund’s friend), Dr. Petros. Will Shannon be able to adapt to the new reality of her life?
Brickner weaves a tale of a modern day Sleeping Beauty with some twists. As I started reading about Shannon waking up, I expected her to be told that Edmund had moved on with his life and was married to someone else. I thought that Edmund’s death provided an interesting surprise twist that made the story a lot more interesting. I’ve read several other books in which the main character has awakened to that reality, but never one where their significant other had died. As sad as it was for Shannon, it made the book a lot more interesting for me. I also appreciated the way Brickner focused on Shannon’s view of technology and the numerous changes that have taken place over the past ten years, for example smart phones and tablets. It was cool to remember a time when everyone was not glued to their little screens.
The plot was a little predictable at times, but easily forgiven in light of the interesting twists and the freshness of the writing. The only tiny criticism I have is that I felt the ending wrapped up a little too quickly. There were a couple questions in my mind of how things would turn out, and I kept feeling the pages getting thinner and thinner and wondering how Brickner was going to wrap it up in the few pages left in the book. It also would have been nice to have seen more angst from Shannon as she realized just how different her life was when she awoke. However, these small criticisms did not detract from the book much.
Overall, this was a great book and a very quick read. I could not put it down and read it in about an hour. If you are looking for a light book to read while sitting at the beach or pool in the summer or curled up in front of the fire in the winter, look no further! In my opinion, this book was even better than Brickner’s first book, If the Shoe Fits.
I received a complimentary book from Moody Publishers in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

Pretty good, I thought. The next step was to convert it into a Word document so that I could edit it. The software has an 'export to Word' function. This is what it produced:Not so good. The text has been put in frames and arbitrarily laid out so that it overlaps the drawing. However, it's still recognisable, and with a bit of editing...
The problem is: how much time am I going to have to spend on the keyboard in order to make this presentable. Here are my track changes in Word:Quite a few - and it took me about 10 minutes of typing and mouse-moving. Luckily I also have a new ergonomic keyboard which reduces some of the strain on my arms.
So - the end product:Not bad. It took a bit longer than I would have liked, and I've lost the nose off my drawing, but overall it has been less time at the keyboard than if I had tried to do it in Word from the start and I suspect that the software will get better at recognising my handwriting and I'll start to find some short cuts. So this is definitely an option.
Now to get going with the speech recognition.

Amazing art work by a very talented artist, however we were under the impression it was a shop dedicated to only these items, what we found was a sports shop with a little shack out the back, not to be discredited we went in and...More
This is a very interesting museum of emu eggs that have been carved to celebrate significant moments in history, modern patterns, portraits and much more. The eggs have been fitted with internal lights to illuminate the carvings. The museum is small but you can easily...More
This display is worth a visit as the carving of each emu egg takes about 100 hours. There are eight different levels on each egg and they are different colours. The entry fee of $5 is reasonable. Some eggs are beautful and others historic.

Recently, there have been reports on the biological influences of refined material, e.g., the antibacterial action, promotion of mammalian cell growth for medical equipment usage. We investigated the effect of the controlling grain size of austenitic stainless steel on microorganism adhesion, using familiar organisms, i.e., lactic acid bacteria in yogurt as gram positive bacteria and dry yeast used in bread making as a fungus. The results suggest that the adhesion of lactic acid bacteria is reduced and the adhesion of yeast is promoted when the grain size is of nanometer order. In contrast, the opposite outcome is obtained when the grain size is of micrometer order, particularly larger than 3 µm. Note that the optimal condition of the contact material grain size is different for each organism, then this phenomenon enables us select grain size in accordance with the desired purpose, e.g., fermentation.
Difficulties in press forming, such as the occurrence of fractures, wrinkles, and springback, are more severe when using ultrahigh-strength steel (UHSS) than when using mild steel owing to the poor formability of UHSS. To make matters worse, the shape of a frame part, for which UHSS is often used, is, in many cases, complex and curved in the top and/or side view. Countermeasures against defects in a UHSS part are, therefore, so specialized that it would be highly advantageous in the press forming of a UHSS sheet if a new forming technology with wider applicability to curved shapes could be developed. In this study, a new forming technology that is effective in the press forming of curved-in-top-view parts was developed. The new forming technology consists of two processes. The 1st process is preforming and the 2nd process is cam bending. The key in this technology is the optimum design of the preformed shape to obtain an accurate final shape after the 2nd process. The new technology was applied to forming a curved-in-top-view hat shape of steel of 590 to 1470 MPa grade, and its suppression effects on the above-mentioned problems was confirmed by both CAE and trial pressing.

An Irlen Screening takes 1-2 hours. A Certified Irlen Screener is specially trained to provide perceptual testing that will accurately diagnose whether Irlen Method and environmental and educational accommodations will provide immediate improvements in reading, math, handwriting, attention/focus, fluency, comfort during visual and computer tasks, and calm sensory overload.
Irlen Screenings provide information and awareness of sensory processing disorder symptoms and their possible causes which can mildly or severely impact a child or adult, and may be traced genetically for generations, across family members, from childhood or due to an illness or injury. Over 15% of all people have some degree of light sensitivity and are often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed with other conditions unless the professional tester is specially trained.
Once a diagnosis of Irlen Syndrome is established, various interventions can immediately relieve unique symptoms and improve function, learning, working productivity, stress working at the computer, attention, behavior and emotional balance.
During the testing session, improvements may be observed and documented in such areas as reading or math fluency, accuracy, comfort, sustained attention, visual tracking and convergence, visual tracking, clarity of text, and ease and enjoyment during visually stressful tasks. With specific accommodations, improvement can be seen in handwriting, attention/focus, behavior, reading music score, testing results, as well as, a decrease in headaches, migraines, visual stress, and discomfort.
Irlen Screeners must have a bachelors degree or higher, 15 hours of initial training, mentoring by an Irlen Diagnostician, provide at least 10 initial screenings, and years of professional development to maintain their certification. Irlen Method has over 30 years of evidence-based, medical & educational research from centers of neurology, psychology, psychiatry, public education, ophthalmology, reading remediation, vocational rehabilitation, the military, and prison schools. Irlen Method has been featured at major professional conferences, research journals, 60 Minutes, National Geographic, ABC/NBC News, Amen Clinics, Harvard Medical Journal, Bulletproof Executive, and universities internationally. Irlen Diagnostic Centers are found throughout the world. Millions have been helped by Irlen Method.

I fell in love with Ibiza for the first time when I was 17. The island is just magnetic. It gets a bad reputation for being a party island. The natural beauty of this Balearic island is what keeps bringing me back. At the beginning of this month I got to go back to Ibiza with my siblings for ten days. The weather was beautiful, and I got to explore a part of the Island that was new to me.
Packing to a beach destination is always fun. You get to wear pieces you usually cannot wear most of the year. I usually pack a lot of my archival ecru and noon pieces and mix them up with my vintage and resort wear.
At the beginning of the trip, we stayed for two nights at the Six Senses. Located at the northern tip of the island which is the wilder side of Ibiza. We got to go on a morning hike in the forest surrounding the hotel and around the beach.
After leaving Six Senses, we rented a villa in the hills of San Jose. The house was a renovated Finca. The landscaping and nature surrounding the house are breathtaking. It was fun walking up having breakfast at the pool and then exploring the island’s beaches.
What makes the island so easy to visit is how friendly and helpful the people are. From waiters to shopkeepers everyone loves to have a chat. I truly enjoyed ten days of unwinding and relaxing with family and friends.
Where I ate:
Es Moli del Sal in Formentera
Favorite beaches to visit:
A boat ride to Formentera is a must for the crystal clear water
Where to shop:
Hippy Market Punta Arabi
Ibiza Town and walk around to see all the local shops.

Ten European organisations and academic partners involved in steel construction have embarked on a 3 year project to improve the viability and reliability of slip-resistant connections in steel structures.
The wider use of bolted structural designs (instead of large welded designs) has clear market benefits for hot dip galvanizing. EGGA is established as a partner in the project and is at the forefront of a dedicated work package to identify slip factors for galvanized surfaces in a variety of surface conditions.
The project is labelled ‘SIROCO’ (Execution and reliability of slip-resistant connections for steel structures using Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel) and is funded by the EC Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS). The project leader is Prof. Dr.-Ing Natalie Stranghöner of the Institute for Metal and Lightweight Structures at University of Duisburg-Essen.

With advancements in technology, we get to know about new things every single day. While NFT and Metaverse are the talks of the town, people are curious to know how they can change the world.
According to research, the metaverse industry is expected to surpass more than $1607.12 billion by 2030. This clearly shows how the metaverse is becoming an integral part of our daily life more quickly than we thought. But how it relates to the NFTs? Let’s talk more about these digital assets.
What is Metaverse?
Before we jump into the details of the Metaverse, you should know what exactly it is. Basically, it is a virtual world that is backed up by the latest technology and represents a dynamic network throughout.
Being the best replica of the online world, metaverse allows you to perform tasks that you would like to do in real life. This includes meeting your favorite celebrity, earning tokens, and even buying virtual property. Here is what else you can do within the metaverse:
- You can play an online game
- You can pay your finances
- You can socialize and collaborate with multinational corporations around the world
- You can work in a virtual world
Since the beginning of 2022, metaverse crypto coins have gained a high potential, leaving behind the top-rated Bitcoin with a 37,000% increase in volume.
Besides this, you can participate in any event happening in any corner of the world with the help of the metaverse.
What are NFTs?
With every passing minute, the number of NFT users is increasing. According to nonfungible.com, thousands of NFT sales are made each day and currently range from 15,000 to 50,000 per week.
In blockchain technology, NFTs play a significant role in revolutionizing the world of gaming and the tech industry. These are actually Non-Fungible tokens that you can use and earn real money. Being originated in 2017, it provides opportunities to users in the form of a non-fungible and immutable security system.
Some of the most widely used applications of these non-fungible tokens are:
- Open sea.
- NFT Creator.
- Axie Marketplace.
So what’s the connection Between NFTs and Metaverse
As explained earlier, Metaverse is a virtual world where you can socialize, study, work, or play with people from around the world by sitting on your couch. NFTs and blockchain technology have contributed a lot to metaverse technology.
These Non-Fungible tokens act as digital assets to prove your ownership of different online platforms. In this way, you can verify your identity on all online sites. Enlisted below are some of the benefits of using these Non-Fungible tokens in Metaverse.
1. Provides Security
One of the major benefits is that it provides a more secure and safer transaction as compared to any other digital asset. You can easily trade your assets in the form of NFT without any fear of loss or disruption, which is common in the real world.
Moreover, you will remain safe from hacks and scams as all your data will be recorded in blockchain technology. Unlike traditional methods of owning and minting, NFTs cannot be interchanged but can be bought or sold via various platforms.
2. Sense of Value
Another important advantage of using NFTs in the metaverse is it adds a sense of value to the created items. In simple words, it represents special items and unique things created by the users. For instance, you can create digital arts or virtual games to make the virtual world a more exciting place.
One of the best things about NFTs is it provides monetization opportunity to the creators of the virtual world. With these money-making strategies, it would not be wrong to say that you can now start your own virtual business in the world of digital assets. Here are some ways which can help you in making money with the help of NFTs:
- Sell these non-fungible tokens on NFT dedicated marketplaces
- Buy low-priced items and sell them for profit
- Create your own digital assets and be a part of the NFT creator
- Earn through play-to-earn games such as Axie Infinity.
Difference Between NFT and Metaverse
Although NFT and Metaverse are interrelated, there are some differential points that set them apart. Let’s have a look at them quickly.
1. Use Case
The first difference lies in their use case. To buy NFT, you must use your crypto coins and get a certain amount of these non-fungible tokens per your needs. On the other hand, the metaverse is a digital world in which crypto coins are used to get NFT.
The whole trading and exchange of NFT tokens are based on blockchain technology. Whereas, the metaverse is a digital world where you are the owner of all your NFT assets and are not backed up by the blockchain system.
NFTs are easily accessible on different marketplaces. However, metaverse platforms are limited, and you can access them through virtual reality games and VR marketplaces.

The Defence Ministry has dismissed the regulator’s call for delicensing 20 units of airwaves in the 1880-1900 MHz frequency band for such services.
The proposal could hit government's plans to successfully implement the Digital India programme, a pet project of PM Narendra Modi.
The complaint filed by Telecommunication Users Group of India, had alleged that United Telecoms had quoted rates below the cost for the broadband equipments.
Khullar said said telecom services in Delhi may be disrupted partially from Dec due to delays by DoT in spectrum allocation to Airtel & Vodafone.
CAG's latest draft report alleges that Centre's spectrum allocation & usage policies until 2004 benefitted telcos such as Airtel, Vodafone.
Telecom Commission took the major step towards clearing the one-nation, one-number plan with full mobile number portability.
Government expects to implement nationwide MNP by March 31, 2015, which will allow subscribers to shift their mobile service on to the network of any telecom operator throughout the country without changing their cellphone number.
The govt in June granted in-principle approval to full MNP that allows customers to retain numbers even after switching operator or location.
