We show you our most important and recent visitors news details Ten dead as Mexico church roof collapses in the following article Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - MEXICO CITY — At least 10 people, including three children, were killed when the roof of a church collapsed in northern Mexico. The collapse happened on Sunday afternoon local time as around 100 people were attending a baptism at Santa Cruz church in Ciudad Madero. Sixty people were injured, at least two of them seriously, and dozens were trapped underneath the rubble. Local residents rushed to the building with shovels and pickaxes to try to free those trapped. Search and rescue teams have since arrived at the scene and two cranes are on site to remove the debris. The governor of Tamaulipas has said that all of those missing have been accounted for. Rescue workers used thermal imaging cameras to ensure no one remained under the rubble. It is not yet clear what may have caused the collapse but the mayor of Ciudad Madero said it was probably due to "structural failures". Ángel Vargas, the priest who was celebrating the baptisms when the collapse occurred said that a day of celebration had turned into a tragedy. "They came to search for heaven for the little ones and found eternity. I want the families to find peace. All of this is unfathomable." Local journalist Franc Contreras told the BBC World Service's Newsday programme that the collapse happened at a key moment in the service. "People were lined up to take the communion - of course that's sort of the climax of the Catholic Mass - and that's when the roof came down on top of them; bricks, concrete, and of course steel support structures coming down on top of the people," he said. He added that according to Red Cross officials the roof came down on pews in the church, allowing the possibility that anyone trapped there could survive in air pockets. One of the survivors described her ordeal on social media. Josefina Ramírez said she had been attending the baptism of her godchild when the roof came down. "Thank God, I'm alive (...) I feared I would not see my beautiful family again (...) I don't know how we got out," she wrote. Local media reported that one of the people trapped had managed to send a WhatsApp message which helped rescuers to find him. Among those who died was reportedly a toddler and a couple with their eight-year-old son, Mexican newspaper Milenio reported. The bishop of the diocese of Tampico, where the church is located, said he was praying for the victims. — BBC These were the details of the news Ten dead as Mexico church roof collapses for this day.

Hello and welcome to the details of Civilians trapped by fighting in Gaza and now with the details Nevin Al Sukari - Sana'a - An Israeli tank rolls along a position as Palestinians flee Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip January 26, 2024, amid ongoing battles between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas. — AFP pic PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES, Jan 27 — Thousands of civilians were trapped in southern Gaza by bombardment and fighting between Israeli troops and Hamas fighters today, a day after the top UN court ruled Israel must prevent genocidal acts. Growing alarm has focused on Khan Yunis, the biggest city in Gaza’s south, where the two main hospitals were barely functioning under the weight of the relentless bombardment and the press of thousands in need. Witnesses reported more overnight strikes on Khan Yunis, the current epicentre of Israel’s assault on Gaza, and the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said some of the dead and wounded had been taken to the city’s barely functioning Al-Amal hospital. The strikes came after the International Court of Justice in The Hague ruled that Israel must prevent possible acts of genocide in its war against Hamas, the Islamist group that controls Gaza. The court, which has virtually no enforcement power, stopped short of calling for an end to the fighting but also said in its ruling that Israel must facilitate “urgently needed” humanitarian assistance. “This is the first time the world has told Israel that it is out of line,” said Maha Yasin, a 42-year-old displaced Palestinian woman in Gaza. “What Israel did to us in Gaza for four months has never happened in history.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the case as “outrageous”. Israel’s relentless bombardment and siege of the Palestinian territory began soon after Hamas’s unprecedented October 7 attacks that resulted in about 1,140 deaths in Israel, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of official Israeli figures. Militants also seized about 250 hostages and Israel says around 132 of them remain in Gaza, including the bodies of at least 28 dead captives. Israel has vowed to crush Hamas and the health ministry in Gaza says the Israeli military offensive has killed at least 26,083 people, about 70 per cent of them women and children. Hospital services ‘collapse’ Fierce fighting between Israeli troops and Hamas fighters has raged for days around Khan Yunis, forcing tens of thousands to flee further south to Rafah on the border with Egypt. With a humanitarian crisis growing in Khan Yunis and northern areas of Gaza, UN agencies say most of the estimated 1.7 million Palestinians displaced by the war are crowded into Rafah. At Khan Yunis’s Nasser Hospital, the largest in the besieged city, Doctors Without Borders said surgical capacity was “virtually non-existent”. The international medical aid organisation said in a news release that medical services at the hospital had “collapsed” and the few staff who remained “must contend with very low supplies that are insufficient to handle mass casualty events”. World Health Organisation chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on social media platform X that 350 patients and 5,000 people displaced by the fighting remained at the hospital and that fighting in the vicinity continued. He said the Nasser Hospital was “running out of food, fuel and supplies” and called for an immediate ceasefire so they could be replenished. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said Israeli tanks were targeting Al-Amal hospital, another of the few remaining medical facilities in Khan Yunis, and that it was “under siege with heavy gunfire”. The Israeli military accuses Hamas of having tunnels under hospitals in Gaza and of using the medical facilities as command centres. Meirav Eilon Shahar, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, accused the WHO this week of collusion with Hamas by ignoring Israeli evidence of Hamas’s “military use” of Gaza hospitals. Tedros rejected the accusation, saying it could “endanger our staff who are risking their lives to serve the vulnerable”. Diplomatic relations sour Relations between Israel and the UN agency for Palestinian refugees soured after the UNRWA said tanks had shelled one of its shelters in Khan Yunis on Wednesday, killing 13 people. UNRWA said yesterday it had sacked several employees accused by Israel of involvement in the October 7 attack. The UN Security Council will meet on Wednesday to discuss the ICJ’s ruling, the council’s presidency announced. The European Union called for the “immediate” application of the ICJ’s decision. The ruling in The Hague was based on an urgent application brought by South Africa, long a supporter of the Palestinian cause, but a broader judgment on whether genocide has been committed could take years. A security source told AFP yesterday that the head of the US Central Intelligence Agency will meet officials from Israel, Egypt and Qatar “in the coming days in Paris” to try to reach a deal with Hamas. A week-long truce in November saw an exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners, however the White House warned that “imminent developments” are unlikely. The war has led to fears of wider conflict, and US forces said they had struck a target in Huthi-held Yemen after an attack on a British tanker in the Gulf of Aden. — AFP These were the details of the news Civilians trapped by fighting in Gaza for this day.

Hello and welcome to the details of Holocaust survivor hails ‘wonderful’ German anti-right protests and now with the details Nevin Al Sukari - Sana'a - Holocaust survivor Eva Szepesi, who was liberated from Auschwitz at the age of 12, told German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, his cabinet and MPs in a Bundestag ceremony that she was heartened by hundreds of thousands of Germans joining pro-democracy rallies. — AFP pic BERLIN, Jan 31 — Holocaust survivor Eva Szepesi today welcomed mass German protests against the resurgent far right but said stronger action was crucial to stand up to rising anti-Semitism. Szepesi, who was liberated from Auschwitz at the age of 12, told German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, his cabinet and MPs in a Bundestag ceremony that she was heartened by hundreds of thousands of Germans joining pro-democracy rallies. “It is wonderful that so many people took to the streets in recent weeks to demonstrate against right-wing extremism,” Szepesi, 91, told the chamber. “However I wish these demonstrators would also loudly object to inhumane and anti-Semitic remarks from their acquaintances and at work,” she added, invoking a “responsibility” to confront hatred where it arises. She said Germany’s “wonderful constitution and democracy” deserved defending against forces seeking to undermine them, without mentioning the far-right AfD party by name. The AfD, which has soared in opinion polls since last summer to around 20 percent on the back of fears about economic decline and rising migration, had largely boycotted last year’s Holocaust Memorial Commemoration in parliament. The party’s leaders and MPs however were in attendance for Szepesi’s speech and applauded with other lawmakers as she called on Germans to resist “remaining silent and looking away” in the face of extremism. Szepesi, born in Budapest to a Jewish family, was sent to the Nazi extermination camp Auschwitz at the age of 11 and was one of the few child prisoners to escape death in the gas chambers. She said she had taken advice to lie about her age, telling guards she was 16, which had likely saved her life. Prisoners who were deemed unfit to work were systematically murdered immediately on arrival, a fate that her mother and brother had met at the camp. After the war, Szepesi and her husband, a fellow Holocaust survivor, settled in Germany due to Cold War upheaval in Hungary. She thanked Scholz and his government for their “solidarity” with Israel after the deadly Hamas attacks in October. But she expressed alarm about the sharp rise in anti-Semitic crimes recorded in Germany since the war between Israel and Hamas broke out. “It worries me deeply and I am sad to see what is happening on the streets—the readiness to use violence and the hatred of Jews,” she said. — AFP These were the details of the news Holocaust survivor hails ‘wonderful’ German anti-right protests for this day.

Thank you for reading the news about Saudi, Scottish universities sign deal to boost collaboration and now with the details Jeddah - Yasmine El Tohamy - Saudi Arabia calls for end to bloodshed and Israeli military escalation in Gaza: Finance minister RIYADH: Saudi Arabia demands an end to Israeli military operations and bloodshed in Gaza, Finance Minister Mohammed Al-Jadaan reiterated during a G20 virtual summit on Wednesday, Saudi Press Agency reported. Al-Jadaan, who represented the Kingdom at the summit, emphasized the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza. He said that Israel’s violence in Gaza violated international law and had resulted in one of history’s worst humanitarian catastrophes. He said that Israel’s violations of international law and UN resolutions jeopardized the international system’s credibility and could have far-reaching consequences. The minister reiterated Saudi Arabia’s strong stance against the targeting of civilians, infrastructure, residential areas and medical facilities in Gaza, as well as its concern about the displacement of Palestinians from the besieged enclave. Saudi Arabia reiterated its call for an immediate cease-fire and an unimpeded flow of humanitarian and medical supplies to Gaza. The Kingdom advocated a long-term peaceful solution that guaranteed the Palestinian people’s legitimate rights, including the establishment of an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.The virtual summit, held under India’s presidency, served as a follow-up to the in-person G20 summit held in New Delhi in September. Other discussions focused on the role of multilateral banks in development, climate action, green financing, technological transformation, digital infrastructure and women’s empowerment. During the summit, Al-Jadaan emphasized the importance of global cooperation in addressing climate change, as well as the need to leverage cutting-edge technologies, such as the circular carbon economy approach, to effectively manage carbon emissions and achieve climate goals. Al-Jadaan also highlighted the issue of rising global debt and the growing pressures that many countries are facing.

Thank you for reading the news about Spain win 25th straight qualifier at home to keep Scotland from clinching spot in Euro 2024 and now with the details Jeddah - Yasmine El Tohamy - ABIDJAN: Hosts Ivory Coast were joined in Group A by Nigeria in the draw for the Africa Cup of Nations in Abidjan on Thursday. Fast-improving Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bissau, who have qualified for a fourth straight edition, complete the mini-league. Other heavyweight pairings included defending champions Senegal with five-time winners Cameroon, while Africa’s first World Cup semifinalists Morocco face the Democratic Republic of Congo. Ivory Coast, seeking a third Cup of Nations title, will meet Guinea-Bissau in the opening match on Jan. 13 in Abidjan, the economic hub. The Ivorian clash with three-time champions Nigeria will attract most attention among the six Group A fixtures. Nigeria were last crowned Cup of Nations winners in 2013 in South Africa and the Ivory Coast succeeded them two years later in Equatorial Guinea. Morocco were drawn in Group F with DR Congo, Zambia and Tanzania. The Atlas Lions have won the premier African football competition only once, in 1976. Their best performance since then was finishing runners-up to 2004 hosts Tunisia. Defending champions Senegal are in Group C with five-time winners Cameroon, Guinea and the Gambia. South Africa will face Tunisia, Mali and Namibia in Group E while Ghana take on Egypt, Cape Verde and Mozambique in Group B. Group D, comprising Algeria, Burkina Faso, Mauritania and Angola, completes the lineup for a tournament that will reach a climax with the final on Feb. 11. Senegalese-American singer Akon hosted the draw, assisted by current and former African stars Sadio Mane, Achraf Hakimi, Didier Drogba and Mikel John Obi. Ivory Coast are hosting the premier African sport event for a second time, and hoping for much better results than in 1984. Then, the Elephants began with a convincing victory over Togo, but losses to Egypt and eventual champions Cameroon meant elimination after the first round. It was the only time in nine hostings of the Cup of Nations in west Africa that the home country failed to reach the knockout stage. Just eight nations featured in that edition — — a third of the number who will arrive in the west African country for the next edition. The tournament should have taken place already as it was originally scheduled for June and July this year. But had it gone ahead, matches would have been staged during the rainy season and CAF president Patrice Motsepe said “it was too great a risk to play matches in potential downpours.” He admitted moving the two-yearly tournament to January and February was “not ideal as it clashes with the European club season.” This means stars like Mohamed Salah of Liverpool and Victor Osimhen of Napoli could be absent from their clubs for five weeks, depending on how record seven-time champions Egypt and Nigeria fare. Ivory Coast will stage the Cup of Nations at six stadiums — two in Abidjan and one each in Bouake, administrative capital Yamoussoukro, Korhogo and San Pedro. Friendly fixtures meant many coaches, including Aliou Cisse of Senegal and Rigobert Song of Cameroon, were unable to attend the draw. Ivory Coast (hosts), Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau Egypt, Ghana, Cape Verde, Mozambique Senegal (holders), Cameroon, Guinea, Gambia Algeria, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Angola Tunisia, Mali, South Africa, Namibia Morocco, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, Tanzania — Group winners and runners-up and the four highest ranked third-placed teams qualify for knockout stage. — Tournament kicks off on January 13 and ends on February 11, with matches at six stadiums in five cities.

Alliance employ the best specialist laboratory people in the commercial sector investigating soil settlement and swelling potential using the latest GDS Automated Oedometer Machines and GDSLAB control and data acquisition software. Settlement is the most common reason for the failure of foundations and is therefore critical to understand the mechanics of settlement. The consolidation test gives a guide to the amount of consolidation which will occur on-site and the rate at which it proceeds. There may be further settlement when consolidation nears completion due to ‘creep’ in the soil mass, this is known as secondary settlement and this can also be performed in our automated oedometer machines. Mv = Coefficient of Volume Compressibility Cv = Coefficient of Consolidation k = Permeability Cc = Compression Index Cr = Recompression Index Ca = Secondary Compression Index e = Void ratio S = Degree of Saturation Pc = Preconsolidation Pressure (Casagrande Method) OCR = Over Consolidation Ratio We give you the right information to make the right decisions

Classifying your genre will be one of the first things you do. However, this may not be as simple as it sounds. Many novels, scripts and other works of art will combine elements of more than one genre within the story that is told. However, there will still be one main genre that flows steadily throughout your story (or series). I watched Reign on Netflix. This series is classified as a Costume Drama. The main character is Mary Queen of Scots so some might say it is a Period Drama or Historical fiction, but to make compelling viewing the gripping storylines are fictional and I’ve seen it described as Fan Fiction. In addition, there is a lot of Political Drama and Religious Conflict. Many of the storylines are romantic making it Romance fiction. Sometimes the genre can be tricky to pinpoint as the definitions can be confusing and sound similar to each other. I’ve had this issue trying to understand what is Magical Realism’? Or, what’s the difference between Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance? Then, some genres are based on the target audience of the reader i.e. by age (MG, Tween, YA, etc) or gender (Chick Lit) or personal identification (LGBTQ, Multicultural). To tackle this, I suggest looking up the definitions online from more than one source. Also, check how novels similar to yours have been classified. Read novels of the genres you are considering and see which feels most similar to yours. It is important to get this correct to enable the right readers to find your novel. What if it is many genres? Say you’ve written a YA, Historical Horror with a cross-dressing African bi-sexual and all the genres remain strong throughout the novel? Then you have to ask yourself how similar novels have been classified or which market you feel your novel will thrive most strongly (i.e. if there is a current demand for Horror fiction, perhaps place it there). Write for Kids has an article that goes into more detail on this subject – click here. - MG (Middle grade): For age 8 to 12. Length = 100 to 150 pages. The main character should be of a similar age. These books often form large series as children of this age will bond with the character and form an attachment. - Tween: For age 10 to 14. Length = around 150 pages. The main character should be of a similar age. These books are for children who have outgrown MG but are not ready for YA: - Young Adult: For age 12+. Length = 150 to 225 pages. The main character should be of a similar age, although due to the more mature theme the protagonist is often cast in their final year of high school: - Coming Of Age: This fiction will deal with the struggles of the protagonist going from being a child to becoming an adult. - Chick Lit: Literature for young women. The story will relate to the struggles young women face in a humorous way (i.e. dating, health, careers, finance, etc). - LGBTQ: The story will revolve around a character that is either lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender or questioning their sexuality. - Multicultural: Books about people of colour and first/native nations. These are the main genres most people think of when classifying fiction: - Adventure: Often involves the characters being in danger and going through a series of events on a journey to reach their goal. - Romance: The novel usually follows a couple falling in love, often with lots of misunderstanding or barriers to give the story a journey. - Erotica: The novel will have steamy scenes as this is what the reader is investing in. Usually, there is a romantic plot to carry the story along but not necessarily important. - Horror: The novel should be scary and make you want to sleep with the light on. The idea is to strike fear into the reader and the characters. - Crime/Detective: Usually involves a murder but could be any crime. The protagonist could be trying to catch the culprit or could be the criminal. - Mystery: Involves following clues to solve a crime or to find out information. - Fan Fiction: The stories are based on characters from other artists works (i.e. Film, TV Show, Book, Play, etc) or famous people (i.e. a boy band, a royal, or an actress). - Suspense/Thriller: This story should have you sitting on the edge of your seat as you join the characters in evading whatever is lurking in the shadows after them. - Comedy/Humour: Written in an entertaining way with the goal of making the reader laugh. World Setting Genres: - Historical: The story is set in a historical period of time – it is important to do your research to ensure you get your facts correct. - Western: Set in the American wild west between the eighteenth and nineteenth century. - Ghost/Supernatural: Story will challenge the fabric of our world. It often includes elements of other genres but the main focus is usually ghosts, spirits, demons, possessions and witchcraft. - Fantasy: Characters are set in an otherworldly setting. The story would not work in our world. - High Fantasy: The races and the world is made up. The main character is often a hero on a quest, usually good vs evil. Often includes battles involving combat or magic. This is your traditional classification. - Hard Fantasy: This involves heavy world building. The story will have a thoroughly developed world with geography, law, languages and reasons for why things are or are not (think Tolkien) - Techno Fantasy: Has the heart of fantasy but has a strong technology vibe. This could be through using technology to create something or someone. It could be where technology has come to life, for example, a car with a mind of its own. - Urban Fantasy: The story is set in the real world (usually present but can be set in the past or future). The story usually involves fantasy characters i.e. another race, species or paranormal or supernatural beings. - Paranormal Romance: Usually involves a romantic relationship between a human and supernatural (i.e. a vampire, witch, shapeshifter, ghost, time travel or someone with psychic abilities). Themes will mix with fantasy, science fiction and sometimes horror. - Magic Realism: Story involves magic or supernatural but presented within a realistic environment. The magic events are ordinary occurrences and not explained. There is something deeper connected to enlightening your mind of conventional constraints. - Science Fiction: Often set in the future or on another planet. The story is based on scientific ideas or imagined ideas. - Hard Science Fiction: The story will be supported by scientific facts and theories making the story more realistic and possible. More information on this can be found on Fiction Factor: - Micro Fiction: Up to 100 words. - Flash Fiction: 100 to 1,000 words. - Short Story: 1,000 to 7,500 words. - Novelette: 7,5000 to 20,000 - Novella: 20,000 to 50,000 - Novel: 50,000 to 110,000 - Epics/Sequels: 110,000+ Jewel of the sea My novel Jewel of the sea (formerly Drift) is: - YA fiction: This is because my protagonist is a fifteen-year-old girl. She does turn sixteen within the novel and there is scope for a series. - Coming of Age: She starts her period, learns to wear makeup, has her first kiss, etc. Then there are all the firsts with her changing body… like becoming a mermaid. - Romance: The plot is driven by her crush on her best friend who is dating Kya. Kya’s brother (hot swim team captain and Mariah’s nemesis) offers to help break the couple up if she’ll kiss him – let’s just say it gets complicated. - Paranormal romance: She doesn’t know she is a mermaid and able to shift between her human and mermaid form. And she has weather manipulation powers. Plus the complicated romance (see above). - Urban Fantasy: The fantastical elements are set in a real world environment – it is loosely based around my hometown. - Novel: Currently it is 80k but I am constantly revising it. I have classified it as a YA Urban Fantasy Novel. What genre do you write? Does your novel have multiple genres? Please let me know if these descriptions helped you classify your novel’s genres.

Take about thirty people in charge of mountain environment education in the Alpine protected areas and draw them deep into an Alpine valley for 3 days, at an altitude of 1,800 m, in a refuge with neither Internet connection nor telephone network. Once there, encourage them to exchange and collaborate in a Workshop about their day-to-day work; sprinkle with curiosity, good humour and work in the open. What will result? An explosive force, made up of creativity, a willingness to share skills and experiences, a desire to establish links, to face up to the challenges and priorities of mountain environment education, to valorise one’s experiences and learn from each other. Such was the experience shared by about thirty participants from the 6 Alpine countries during the 4th “Mountain Environmental Education in the Alpine Protected Areas” International Workshop, which was held in the Refuge de Bayasse in the Mercantour National Park (France) from 18th to 20th October 2016. The participants, most of whom are long-term members of the “Mountain Environmental Education” Working Group, had the opportunity for exchanging and sharing , but also for working together on various themes (e.g. “biophilia”, visitor centres, educational messages and the attitudes of young people towards parks…) and on collective projects currently in progress. Notably, one main event was devoted to the “Youth at the Top” initiative which originated from this group: the assessment of the 2016 edition was followed by reflection about improving and perpetuating the operation and preparing the editions to follow. Throughout the meeting the participants helped to finalise the “The Alps in my Backpack” teaching tool (a large format map of the Alps printed on fabric) which will have its first outings in the field in 2017. A Common Quest: How to (re) establish Links between Young People and Nature One of the guiding principles of some of the informal debates and workshops was the question as to how the link youth-nature can be (re) established .This question was approached from several angles: from the role played by the mountain environment educator and from the message they can carry, to the role of teachers and the structure of school curricula. “This subject has been a topic of discussion in the French education group for several years,” declared Isabelle Roux, the Head of the Educ’Alpes Network. “For our network, mountain education rests on 3 pillars: encouraging youngsters to enjoy contact with nature, favouring games and free times, and creating experiences from mountain slope”. A vision which ALPARC shares entirely. Thus the workshop was the opportunity for discovering and trying out innovative approaches in non-formal education. This was the case during the field workshop devoted to interpretation and led by Markus Blank of the Gesäuse National Park (Austria), representing the Interpret Europe association. Heritage interpretation is an approach where the goal is to provide a different way of seeing and a deeper understanding through first-hand experience of sites, objects or events linked to a particular heritage. It is very widespread in the United States and has been growing popular in Europe over the past few years. The results of the meetings: a report, PowerPoints, shared resources, photos, etc. are being made available progressively as they become available on the ALPARC extranet, in the workspace devoted to this working group. www.alparc.org/extranet A big thank you to those who took part, to all who helped to make the workshops so lively and notably the Mercantour National Park for their enthusiastic hosting! The Workshop was organised by ALPARC in partnership with Educ’Alpes and the Mercantour National Park and was funded by the Principality of Monaco.

(by Rose Fox) This chapter opens with an overview of the Chevalière d'Eon: MAAB, legally declared female by Louis XVI, wore men's clothes. Fascinating person. Transvestism was called "eonism" for a couple hundred years thanks to the Chevalière. "For several years, d'Eon's gender was the subject of numerous bets and legal proceedings." "D'Eon's story teaches us that as long as we live and breathe, the culturally mediated body is an unreliable agent of truth."

Holistic Mind Strength: Nurturing Mental Fitness for Wellness In the fast-paced world we live in, nurturing mental fitness is crucial for overall well-being. Holistic mental fitness emphasizes a comprehensive approach that goes beyond traditional practices. Let’s delve into the key elements and strategies for cultivating a strong and resilient mind through holistic mental fitness. Understanding Holistic Mental Fitness Holistic mental fitness recognizes the intricate connection between mind, body, and spirit. It involves adopting a comprehensive approach that addresses various aspects of your life to promote mental well-being. This understanding forms the foundation for cultivating a resilient and balanced mind through holistic practices. Mind-Body Connection in Mental Fitness The mind-body connection is a central focus of holistic mental fitness. Practices such as yoga, tai chi, and mindful meditation emphasize the integration of physical and mental well-being. These activities not only enhance physical flexibility but also contribute to mental clarity, stress reduction, and emotional balance. Nutrition and Mental Well-Being Holistic mental fitness extends its reach to nutrition, acknowledging the impact of diet on mental health. A balanced and nourishing diet with essential nutrients supports cognitive function and emotional well-being. Incorporating whole foods, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids contributes to a holistic approach to mental fitness. Emotional Resilience through Holistic Practices Building emotional resilience is a key aspect of holistic mental fitness. Practices like mindfulness, meditation, and breathwork help individuals develop a greater awareness of their emotions. This heightened awareness enables effective coping strategies, fostering emotional resilience in the face of life’s challenges. Holistic Therapies for Mental Well-Being Holistic mental fitness embraces a variety of therapeutic approaches beyond conventional methods. Art therapy, music therapy, and nature therapy are examples of holistic modalities that engage individuals in creative and sensory experiences. These therapies promote self-expression and emotional healing, contributing to mental well-being.

Does Womanhood and Ambition Really Exist in Nigeria? (L.A. McKeown, 2020) “We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, you can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you would threaten the man” -Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Who is your role model? They ask as if there is a perfect example of someone I could emulate around me? As a young woman raised within a community where being successful feels like a destination for the only perfect people, I have constantly studied the women figure around with these constant questions in mind “Are they living the goals and dreams they had as young women or has womanhood and motherhood robbed them of those aspirations” “Are they the perfect examples of role models?” “I mean, they do not have big titles?” “They are mothers who have accepted what society gave to them?” “Are they fighting for what they believe, or has life just happened?” A role model is a person someone identifies as a person they can gain inspiration from and emulate specific characteristics from (Australia’s National Career Information Service, 2021). Synonyms being hero, heroine, idol, and icon. Based on this definition and the various examples fellow students give when asked who their role models are, the women around me were no close to being role models. I mean, they do not look successful, nor were they a big deal, nor do they have a description of who I hope to be, but why do I feel this way? Suppose you know that feeling that comes with constant correction on who you are meant to be. In that case, I believe you will understand where I am coming from when I say it felt like the women around me did not feel confident enough to own their space; from a young age, my mum and aunt constantly corrected me on how to eat, what to do and what not to do, the amount of food that seemed alright and most importantly who I was going to be for him, I mean they were taught to live for their husband. In the country I come from, Nigeria, womanhood ended up at who you are to your husband and the kind of mother you are to your children. It always felt as if the women around accepted who they were meant to be for society’s sake. Furthermore, I have never seen my mum ask or question certain things; I have not asked her why it is that way or if she is satisfied but really, who can be satisfied with all that is offered to them without question. I do not mean to say my mum is mute or does not have a life. I have never seen her live life for herself, which has led to my constant worry about being a mother, wife, or woman in general. So does womanhood and motherhood rob you of being who you hope to be? or is it just wrong in general to have aspirations and dreams as a woman? Womanhood is beyond the physical body parts; It is a state of mind as well as a social commitment; women serve as a moral compass and sounding board for spouses, friends, and family; women believe in fighting for what is right (Dr. Logan Levkoff, 2011). It is quite iconic to know that in Nigeria, you become a woman when you begin your menstrual flow; It brings smiles to the faces of your loved ones and joy to their hearts knowing that at one point in life, you can be given to a man in marriage and then bear children for him. In Nigerian definition, womanhood is being fit enough to live for another person, in this case, your children or husband. In 2015 Florence Warmate, after a book club meeting where they discussed Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s “We Should All Be Feminists,” decided to embark on a journey of exploring challenges facing women; she started a tweet using the hashtag #BeingFemaleinNigeria and soon, a lot of people began to respond from this experiment, various women spoke about the stereotypes they faced within their families and in the workspace (BBC Trending, 2015). According to the world bank blog, as of 2011, 17 million adult women in Nigeria were neither working nor studying (The work of women in Nigeria, 2016), I mean who wants to invest in a person who one day is going to live their life for someone else, the thought that girls, upon marriage, join their husband’s family and take with them the benefits of education, makes parents have little incentives to bear the costs of educating their daughters (King & M. Anne Hill, 1995). You know I love this quote from one of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Ted’s talks, “We should all be Feminist,” in this particular talk. She talks about being female within Nigerian society. This Ted talk was from years back; however, many of the issues she highlighted are still relevant today. She said, “We say to girls, you can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you would threaten the man. Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important” (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Quotes (Author of Americanah), 2020). In Nigerian societies, womanhood is associated with compromise; many women and girls from the early stage of life have been told to let go of various things to satisfy others’ needs, in most cases boys and men. As of 2018, seventy percent of Nigerian women were married. This seventy percent included women from the ages of 15 to 49 years were married, and from the remaining 30 percent, 25 percent never married (Nigeria: marital status of women Statista, 2018). For those 25 percent of unmarried, many of them have endured pity and blame for their situation. In Nigeria, singleness beyond marriage age for women is seen as wrong, many of these women are called women with the worst of behavior, their love for self cost them their happiness, quote on quote, marriage, they were too ambitious, they have pride, and that is why a man can’t marry them. The sigma is then for you to have ambition, live your life and have dreams, then you become a strong-headed proud woman who no man can control. So then the question is, were my aunt and mother wrong for living by society standard? No, I do not think so, but then my worry is why do most women live at peace with society and others at the expense of losing themselves, why do most womanhood and motherhood steal from women’s ambition, dreams, and personal goals? (World Bank Report, 2019) The limitations and stereotypes put in place by society do not only affect personally identity crises but also plays out how women are able to contribute to society, in a survey done by the Global Women Entrepreneur Leadership Scorecard in 2015 Nigeria ranked high in terms of women who believe they have the skills to become entrepreneurs, but last in terms of ‘economic climate’ for women (2015 Global Women Entrepreneur Leaders Scorecard Executive Summary, 2015) and this in terms affect the livelihood of women in Nigeria. Another aspect to consider is that many women leave the workforce just because according to society women can not balance the two out and therefore she has to choose what is most important to her. Globally 46.9% of all women participated in the labor force (Statistical Overview of Women in Global Workplaces: Catalyst Quick Take, 2020). That’s to show how many of these limitations affect the representation of women. In spite of the societal focus that has limited women in Nigeria we have seen women on the raise who have then become role models to other women within the society for example Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former Finance Minister and Vice President of the World Bank, and Dr. Obiagele Ekwesili, former Education Minister and Head of the World Bank’s African Educational Project are among those who have broken the glass ceiling in their contributions to Nigeria’s economic and educational development (Nefi Ainesi Wole-Abu, 2018). More like the women that spoke about their experiences in 2015 using twitter many women need to begin to speak about the struggles of womanhood in Nigeria, it is also important that women speak about how these constructs within the society affect their goals and aspirations, it is not going to be a one day process of changing these beliefs systems. So it is essential that women begin to speak up starting with our immediate community about their struggles, hopes, and ambitions, but most important be role models to each other. Identify your struggles, be conscious and confident to share your stories. BBC Trending. (2015, July). What it means to be female in Nigeria.

MTN Ghana Appoints New CEO. Stephen Blewett has been named the new CEO of MTN Ghana by the MTN Group. After a stellar performance as Ghana’s CEO, Selorm Adadevoh was replaced by Stephen, who was recently elevated to Group as the Chief Commercial Officer (GCCO). At the moment, Stephen Blewett works for the MTN Group as an operations executive in the markets. However, on April 1, 2024, he will become leadership of MTN Ghana. The recently appointed CEO of MTN Ghana returned to the company in July 2023 and assumed the role of Operations Executive for Markets, overseeing the Group’s smaller West and Central African markets and assisting the Senior Vice President for Markets with more comprehensive operations support throughout the region. He had previously served as Chief Operating Officer of Digicel, an organization that Selorm also quit to join MTN. Prior to that, he worked with MTN for seven years, first as CEO of MTN Benin and later as CEO of MTN Cameroon. MTN Ghana Board Chairman Dr. Ishmael Yamson said, “We are happy to have Stephen join the MTN Ghana family and look forward to working with him to move the company forward to achieve our Ambition 2025 strategy and beyond.” “We also welcome Stephen to the MTN Ghana family and look forward to welcoming him to the business in the months ahead,” the MTN Ghana board of directors stated. Concurrently, Selorm succeeds Jens Schulte-Bockum, who relinquishes his position as Group Chief Operating Officer upon the expiration of his contract in March 2024. Selorm is going to join the MTN Group Executive Committee in his new role. According to an MTN statement, Jens Schulte-Bockum will leave his executive position on March 31, 2024, but he will continue to serve as a non-executive director on the boards of three significant subsidiaries: MTN Nigeria, MTN South Africa, and Bayobab. MTN Ghana Appoints New CEO Stephen Blewett “We extend our congratulations to Selorm on his new role and express our gratitude for his exceptional leadership, guidance during difficult times, and tireless efforts over the previous five and a half years on behalf of MTN Ghana. We are confident that he will succeed in his new position, according to Dr. Ishmael Yamson. As the CEO of MTN Ghana, Selorm joined MTN in 2018. Prior to then, he had a number of important positions in the USA, UK, and Latin America at different points in his career, as well as important positions with Millicom in Africa and Caribbean mobile network operator Digicel. Since joining MTN, Selorm has spearheaded the company’s transformation and played a key role in advancing the company’s new Ambition 2025 strategy, which aims to position MTN Ghana as a platform player. He has had a considerable effect and impact on important industry projects. Along with thanking Selorm for his enormous contribution to the company during his time as CEO, the Board of Directors of MTN Ghana and its subsidiaries also wished him luck in his new position as MTN Group Chief Commercial Officer. With a market share of more than 70% in voice, internet, SMS, and mobile money, MTN Ghana is the sole major player in the business. Due to its remarkable GHS1.7 billion plus profit after tax half-year 2023, over 26 million subscribers, over 14 million mobile money clients, and about 99% combined coverage of 2G, 3G, and 4G nationally, MTN—the only profitable telco in Ghana—reported its earnings for the first half of the year. MTN is still spending billions of Ghanaian cedis on corporate social programs and network enhancements. In fact, MTN Ghana has set aside $1 billion for investments in Ghana between 2021 and 2025 as part of their Ambition 2025 plan, of which $25 million will go toward constructing the cutting-edge Ghana ICT Hub in partnership with the authority. Being the only SMP on the market, MTN has been forced by the regulation to double its pricing this year alone and discontinue some of its most economical bundles. Despite the price hikes, it seems that customers are continuing to use the network because of its comparatively higher quality of service when compared to alternative options available.

A sportsbook is a place where you can bet on sporting events, such as college and professional football games. These establishments are usually legal and offer a variety of betting options, such as money lines and over/under bets. They also have a customer service team to answer your questions. If you’re looking for the best sportsbook, make sure to read reviews and check out their game selections, betting odds, and security measures. Sportsbooks make their money by charging a commission, known as the vigorish, on bets that lose. This is a standard practice for most sportsbooks, but the amount varies from one book to another. The higher the vigorish, the more profitable the sportsbook is. In addition, the sportsbook may also have a policy on payout amounts. This policy is especially important when making large bets. Many factors influence the vigorish, including the amount of action on a particular bet, the type of bet, and the size of the winning bet. A high vigorish can be a good indicator of profitability, but it is not a guarantee of success. The simplest way to bet on a game is by placing a straight bet, which simply places a wager on a team to win or lose. The odds on a straight bet are determined by the probability of the event occurring, and the sportsbook will set the odds accordingly. Bets on teams with high probabilities have a lower risk and will pay out less than those with low probabilities. Odds on an NFL game begin taking shape almost two weeks before the kickoff. Each Tuesday, a handful of select sportsbooks release their “look ahead” lines, which are based on the opinions of a few smart sportsbook managers. These initial lines are typically just a thousand bucks or so: a substantial amount for most punters, but less than the typical pro would risk on a single NFL game. As a result, the opening line for a game will often be heavily influenced by public sentiment. For example, if the majority of bettors are backing the Bears to beat the Lions, the sportsbook will move the line to discourage Detroit backers. This can be a great strategy if you’re able to identify the public sentiment on a game and then take advantage of it. While there are many different types of bets, the most common are point spreads and over/under bets. Point spreads are a bet on how many points a team will win or lose by, while over/under bets are a bet on the total number of points scored in a game. Over/under bets are a popular choice for casual bettors, but they can sometimes be difficult to beat. In addition to examining the odds on over/under bets, it’s also important to consider other variables, such as how many field goals are kicked in a game and the average number of points scored by both teams. These variables can greatly affect the over/under odds for a game.

A slot is a place where coins or tokens are inserted into a machine to activate it. The machine then pays out according to a predetermined program. Slot machines are very popular in the gambling industry and are often referred to as the “kings of casino games.” They are known for their high payouts, varied bonuses, and unique features. Despite their popularity, there are many things that people should keep in mind before they play a slot machine. For example, a player should always read the pay table and understand how the game works before making a deposit. This will help them avoid making mistakes and prevent losing money. It is also recommended that players choose a slot machine based on their preferences and not just on its odds of winning. There are a variety of different types of slots available online. These include cluster pay slots (where players must form groups of matching symbols, typically adjacent to one another), multi-payline slots (where winning combinations are formed by lines running across the reels in various directions), and all-way slots (also known as 243-ways or 1024-ways). Some of these types of slots have additional special symbols, such as wilds, scatters, or bonus symbols. Some even have progressive jackpots! Many of these special symbols and features make slots a fun and exciting form of entertainment. However, it is important to remember that winning at slot is not easy, and there are no guarantees of success. Some people spend a great deal of time playing slots, but they do not necessarily win any prizes. In fact, it is more common to lose than to win. However, some people do manage to win, and it is not uncommon for them to receive huge amounts of money. Some people may wonder whether slot machines are designed to inveigle the player. Some believe that this is true, while others claim that the machines are not programmed to do so. Regardless of which view you take, it is essential to set a budget or bankroll before you start playing. This way, you can limit your losses and maximize your chances of winning. Slots can be confusing for novices, so it is helpful to have a detailed description of how they work. These descriptions can be found in the pay tables of online casinos. These tables are usually located at the bottom of the screen and provide information on the symbols, paylines, and rules of the game. They can also include information on bonus rounds, jackpots, and free spins. Pay tables were once printed on the glass of slot machines, but they have since been replaced by electronic screens. They still contain the same information, but they are now much easier to read. They also often include animations that help players understand the game’s mechanics. It never ceases to amaze us how many slot players dive right into the game without reading the pay table! This is a mistake that can cost you big. You should always check the pay table before you begin spinning the reels, and it is a good idea to look for an icon that is close to the base of the game window. Ideally, this will launch a pop-up window with all of the necessary details.

Dr. Fiona Citkin urges minorities and immigrants to work together to bring meaningful, positive change in the U.S. in her Huffington Post article, “Immigrants and Minorities of America, Unite!” Yes, there are many benefits to bringing minorities and immigrants together, but there are also numerous pushes & pulls involved in uniting them, in establishing their local-global connection. I have long maintained that “Harmonize NOT Homogenize” is key to our working together, but today’s highly emotional environment makes even this approach difficult. For many career women success means achieving not just professional recognition but also a fulfilling family life and personal happiness. But what is the price is paid by a career women and other women leaders in the diversity of culture they represent? There are many different answers to this question and the diverse cultures are key. My answer comes from the perspective of a Latina working for a Fortune 500 company who also constantly feels the need to challenge cultural differences in leadership styles. At the same time, it’s coming from a person who looks for life work balance, whether that means enjoying time in the kitchen cooking my favorite traditional cuisine, or impressing upon my children the value and importance of their multicultural background. Not long ago, Texas made history. It became a majority minority state. In other words, the minorities together make up more than 50% of the population. Here in Texas, diversity is a buzzword. Not only does it attract attention, it gets people excited, who now want to jump on the bandwagon to organize diversity initiatives such as cultural sensitivity training or setting up a diversity council.

|909 Pine Ave E, Menomonie, WI 54751, USA |11:30AM–8PM 11:30AM–8PM 11:30AM–8PM 11:30AM–8PM 11:30AM–8PM 11:30AM–8PM 11:30AM–6PM Great place for families. Reasonable prices, especially the family season pass. Excellent for little kids, even pre-toddlers, with a very spacious shallow end and excellent sight lines for worrisome parents... plus an always attentive retinue of lifeguards. One underrated aspect of thhis park is the immense open grassy space (3-4 acres ?) ... lots of room for families to set up chairs and blankets or sun tents, play frisbee or football, and still have room between each other. A Private User Really nice water park! Lots of slides for kids. Volleyball court, big sand box, grassy area. Also they have a party room so you could have a childs birthday party or another event. They also have a concession stand with lots of stuff for reasonable prices! The only thing negative is there are not many chairs so on really hot busy days you will want to bring your own. Fun for everyone. Zero entry and toddler fun slides up to tall water slide for the bigger kids. Play equipment, volleyball, picnic tables, grassy fields. All enclosed in chain link. Do every customer a favor. Lower the price some and take some of your profits and buy a new radio antenna. It has sounded terrible for years. Its almost torture. As far as waterparks go, Wakanda Waterpark is about average. I know a place just like it in Hastings, MN. They could do without those waiting periods though. A Private User Terrific value! Can bring your own cooler for a picnic. Big slides for the big kids, zero depth for the little ones. Lots of stuff for kids to do, play ground, volleyball courts, and water slides for little kids and big kids. My daughter love it. 2nd time back, she came with daycare one day n wanted to come back there. Family friendly. Easy access. Reasonable rates. Friendly staff. The restroom is lacking. This is a small water park for the population of the city so it tends to get crowded. Friendly staff and clean facility. Good toddler activities too. Clean and very good life guards! Kids love it... Lots of fun and a great place to cool off! Great place to take your family My grand children love it here I love that place thanks guys Great water park. The kids love it! Lots to do

Thomas Watson Hunster (1851-1929) was an accomplished artist and innovative art educator in Washington, DC. He taught art and served as Director of Drawing for African American public schools in the city's then-segregated system. Over his forty-eight year tenure, he became known as the "Father of Art" for developing—and constantly refining—an interdisciplinary art curriculum for every grade level, from kindergarten through Miner Normal School’s teacher training program. Generations of students learned to draw, a skill that he considered fundamental for understanding both one's self and the world. As Professor Hunster wrote in his 1899 annual report, "I deem it unnecessary to discuss the benefits derived from the study of drawing; the general correlation of drawing with other studies all over the country testifies to its value in education.”1 Professor Hunster's visionary leadership included introducing industrial and manual arts classes eight years earlier than offered in the city's white public schools. Further, he created a museum within Miner Normal School because most art galleries and museum barred Black visitors. He displayed the work of pupils and peers alike in well-received annual art shows. Professor Hunster primarily painted landscapes. However, he took up portraiture for a period to become more adept at detail before returning to still life paintings and his beloved landscapes.2 Hunster remained a practicing artist throughout his life, active not only in Washington, DC's art community, but also on national and international stages. He collaborated with Armstrong High School students to create nine dioramas depicting African American history for the Paris Exposition in 1900. He was also an architect of the Washington Public Schools display at the Jamestown Ter-Centennial in 1907. Student-made items and his own oil paintings showcased African American accomplishment in the arts, education, and vocational training. In both expositions, Professor Hunster used art to advance civil rights in settings where segregated displays paralleled social and legislative practice. As Professor Hunster neared retirement, he designed a house and studio in nearby Ardwick, Maryland, a community created by African American professionals in Prince Georges County. Its wooded surroundings likely inspired many paintings, and the house's unique architecture lent itself to doubling as a gallery. Upon retiring in 1922, Professor Hunster was succeeded by Hilda Wilkinson Brown (1894-1981), a notable educator and artist in her own right.4 The prolific painter continued to create and exhibit artwork until his death on August 24, 1929. A decade later, the Thomas W. Hunster Art Gallery was dedicated at the renowned Dunbar High School (formerly M Street School). A solo show at Howard University's Gallery of Art memorialized Professor Hunster with a centennial exhibition in 1951. Professor Hunster's paintings, along with paintings and marionettes made by his students, were on display at the Anacostia Community Museum's exhibition on M Street School principal Anna J. Cooper in 1981-82. Hutchinson, Louise Daniel. Anna J. Cooper: A Voice from the South. 1981, 1982. Smithsonian Institution. See page 114. Lawton, Pamela Harris.

Lacy Estelle is first and foremost a Jesus Follower. She is also a wife, a mother and An AD[H]D Woman. She began writing about encouragement, surviving an abusive relationship and parenting her ADHD kiddos (while having ADHD herself) back in 2017. Since then she’s published lots of content on those subjects on her original blog Mothering the Storm (LacyEstelle.com). In 2018 she acquired the Blog An ADD Woman, from it’s original creator; Brenda Nicholson. Nicholson had since grown away from writing and teaching about ADHD in women, and wanted to pursue other passions. With the new site, and all it’s previous content Lacy did what most ADHD women do: She overanalyzed it, and procrastinated on utilizing it for 2 years. Now, she’s decided to use the site to host her podcast, it’s show notes and any other events, tips, tricks, or inspiring content. At the core of it all, Lacy is a woman. Just like you, who spent a large part of her life feeling like she was broken, or faulty. That she was careless, and lazy. Maybe even just a little dumb. But come to find out- she was wrong. She just had ADHD, was undiagnosed, untreated and was dealing with some insane stress from her impulsive, unchecked, unrestrained life choices. Now she’s going to bare it all. Talk about it all. Discuss it all on her podcast, An ADD Woman. Why? Because she wants women to know the truth about ADHD and womanhood. – and that is, you are a wonderful, amazing, capable, and inspiring woman. Period. ADHD is a part of who you are, and how you operate but it does not define your value.

We are now in a whole different era as of Covid-19 having its place in our lives. In these times when we have started to work from the house, distracting factors have increased considerably. But, counteracting those factors and fully concentrating is possible with the Pomodoro Technique! We are here to answer all your questions such as "What is Pomodoro? How to apply the Pomodoro Technique?", with "Pomodoro Technique in 5 points." 1) What is Pomodoro? What does Pomodoro mean? Pomodoro as a word is the combination of Italian "pomo "(fruit) and "doro" (gold) and actually means tomato. It is thought that this word, which was previously used as “pomo di moro” by the Italians, became “pomodoro” after being mistranslated by the English translators. Surprising, isn't it? You might be wondering what does a tomato have to do with the Pomodoro Technique. Well, because it was named after a tomato look-alike timer used in the kitchen. 2) What is the Pomodoro Technique? The Pomodoro Technique is a time managing technique that makes you use your time more efficiently and focus better. It helps you define and manage your tasks better. It makes it possible for you to fully focus on your tasks by counteracting all the distraction factors completely. With the help of this technique which gamifies the work, you can complete your tasks on time without getting bored. Who can apply the Pomodoro Technique? If you are the kind of person who often complains "I cannot start working", "I keep postponing what I need to do", "I cannot focus", the Pomodoro Technique is just for you! The Pomodoro Technique can be used by students, employees with long working hours, and professionals engaged in continuous production. In fact, this technique appeals to a fairly wide audience. The Pomodoro Technique, which will allow you to use your time efficiently, will also put your work in order. 3) How did the Pomodoro Technique come up? Lack of attention, loss of concentration, and such problems are not inherence only for today's world. The Pomodoro Technique was invented by Francesco Cirillo, who has had problems focusing and finishing his tasks in the 1980s. Bored of his workload, Cirillo decided to focus on his work for only 10 minutes and kept the time with a tomato-shaped timer he found. Thus, the Pomodoro Technique was born. Cirillo, later on, developed the technique further and published a book of about 130 pages on the Pomodoro Technique. But do not let this mislead you, although a 130-page book has been written about it, applying the Pomodoro technique is quite simple! 4) How to apply the Pomodoro Technique? There are 6 core steps of the Pomodoro Technique developed by Cirillo: - Select the task to complete. - Set the Pomodoro timer for 25 minutes. - Start working on the task. - Tick up a piece of paper when the alarm goes. - Take a break. - If you have less than four ticks, that is, you have practiced less than four periods of the Pomodoro. Take a short break of 3 to 5 minutes, and return to Step 2 after the break. - If you have applied the Pomodoro more than four times, proceed to Step 6. - Give a long break of 15 to 30 minutes. After the break, repeat these six steps until you have finished your task. What is a Pomodoro? A Pomodoro is obtained when the time of work and rest are added together. After the four Pomodoros have been completed, there is a long break. Things to consider while applying the Pomodoro Technique It is important to set an alarm or timer in order not to exceed the working and resting minutes. You can increase or decrease your working minutes according to your own experience and attention span. And the most important point to be considered while applying the Pomodoro technique is to only work during working times and to only rest during resting times. To increase your focus while working, you need to get away from anything that will distract you. It may be helpful to mute your phone, put it on the "Do not disturb" mode, or turn off notifications. In addition, you can also benefit from music that will increase focus. During your rest period, you should be completely away from your work. In this regard, it will be beneficial for you to get away from the environment in which you are working. Increase your productivity with the Pomodoro Technique It is important to break up your tasks into smaller chunks to increase your productivity. In this way, you will not overestimate the work you are to do and get to work more easily. You can combine the Pomodoro Technique with other productivity methods and increase your efficiency. You can as well benefit from the [Pomodoro](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tatkovlab.pomodorolite&hl=tr&gl=US) [apps](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tatkovlab.pomodorolite&hl=tr&gl=US) to apply the Pomodoro Technique in the most efficient way. 5) Pomodoro Timers & Apps What makes the Pomodoro timers on the internet more attractive is that they are not limited only to the Pomodoro Technique.

On a recent Baristanet post, Dr. Ablaza talks about some of the most pervasive myths and misconceptions about plastic surgery, and why they have it wrong. 1. Plastic surgery is only for rich women with lots of leisure time. In fact, plastic surgery is used by women (and men!) of all ages, ethnicities, and tax brackets. Dr. Ablaza cites a statistic that indicates “60 percent of the people having cosmetic medical procedures come from households with a combined income of just $30,000-$90,000.” 2. Eyelid lifts create a surprisedappearance. Eyelid surgery (also known as blepharoplasty) cannot create a surprised look, since the eyebrows are unaffected by the procedure. During a brow lift, however, the eyebrows can sometimes appear too high. This is a temporary effect that soon passes, since plastic surgeons usually have to account for tissue relaxation during the recovery period. 3. Breast lifts change the size of the breast. Breast lift surgery works by changing the shape and positioning of the breasts. As a result: - breasts are elevated - nipples may be repositioned - skin is tightened While breast lift surgery does not increase the size of the breast, the procedure is sometimes performed alongside a breast augmentation. 4. Fat removed with liposuction will reappear elsewhere. Human beings are born with a fixed number of fat cells that enlarge with weight gain and shrink with weight loss. Liposuction permanently removes some fatty tissue. The production of new fat cells is a rare occurrence. As a result, weight gain after liposuction causes the enlargement of other pre-existing fat cells. 5. Exercise after weight loss or pregnancy can tighten your skin. Skin cannot be tightened to any noticeable extent by exercise. While there are creams, lotions, and skin surface treatments that can make the skin appear smoother, the only way to tighten skin that has been stretched by weight gain or pregnancy is to remove excess skin with body contouring surgery.

The late matriarch of Los Angeles environmental groups, Dorothy Green, wrote a book that focuses on Southern California water and water agencies: Managing Water: Avoiding Crisis in California. If you live in the city of Los Angeles, you have 5 commissioners to the LADWP Commission and 5 representatives appointed to the master wholesaler, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), all appointed by the Mayor. Some other cities have their own water departments and are members of MWD, as are many water agencies. Each city/agency has appointees to MWD, however you can run for seats on the local water district/agency that you get your water from. I came to the little town of Ojai in Ventura county with a history of running municipal water conservation programs, most recently working with Pasadena Water and Power as a drought coordinator. We were at the end of a 6 year drought and I started working for Patagonia, a clothing company with a social and environmental ethic in Ventura, who hired me to review either ocean desalination or connecting to the state water project as water supply options. I recommended neither. My recommendation focused on maximizing local water resources: recycled water, increasing water conservation both urban and agricultural and better groundwater management.When the local water agency, the regional wholesaler Casitas Municipal Water District cut its funding to the county’s water conservation budget, I decided to run for a seat on the water board. Turns out, a long time citrus farmer in Ojai had held the seat since he was appointed when his father died in office. I had been working for a reluctant candidate for Congress and was filled with energy to campaign. With a lot of foot leather, some campaign literature, a few signs and support from the community, I won!. Then the fun began. I served with long time board members who included a shoe repair owner, a used car salesman, a wholesaler grocer and a county fire captain. It took almost two years to convince a majority on the board to vote for conservation, based on my fiscal conservatism and knowledge of water issues. I was then appointed to the Ojai Basin Groundwater Management Agency, where I became the president of the board by default. This occurred as we were implementing metering and monitoring of farmers wells, an unknown in California at the time. Needless to say, this was met with quite a bit of resistance which included the windows in my car smashed and house being broken into. Things eventually cooled , after a friend and water board member of a county water agency to the north came down to facilitate. We were able to finally map the groundwater aquifer for a small valley whose Chumash name means the nest. I spent 4 years on the two water boards, attending numerous water meetings across the state. It is amazing how many meetings there are. I learned not only about water policy and politics but finance and governance. You are paid a stipend for 10 meetings and mileage for travel. It is a great opportunity. I am telling my story as just one example to show if I could run and win then anyone can. I encourage others to run for water boards in their communities; represent the diversity of your community, get a seat at the table, don’t allow private interests to make all the decisions, the younger generation and more women are needed. The best way to prepare is to attend your water district/agency meetings.Pay attention to water campaigns from the Angeles Chapter and attend our water committee meetings. These water agencies don’t just have the ability to set water rates but also assign property taxes to cover their costs. These are important decisions that affect everyone’s pocket, flora, fauna, the ocean, marine life, the environment and people. Get involved with water! The Water Committee meets on the 4th Thursday of every month.

I'm mad about this child. And she is sweet respite from other things. While in some ways I feel like a tiny boat thrown about on the stormy seas of my life, the simplicity of my daughter's babyhood is an anchor. I relish watching her progress in her own perfect way. A slow and steady course, reliable and delightful.

Celebrating the American eagle In honor of Independence Day we begin with a discussion about how the bald eagle became part of the Great Seal of the United States, and how its extinction was averted. Bald eagle populations are now strong. Then, Lori continues with more fascinating facts about both bald and golden eagles. The American bald eagle in our culture has held an important position in our culture for more than 230 years and continues to do so. It is native to most American states, with the exception of Hawaii, another reason for its symbolic status. After the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress appointed Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams, with the task of creating an official seal for the new nation. Is xylitol toxic to dogs? Peter then reviews the serious risks to dogs when xylitol is ingested. It can cause profound hypoglycemia. Do you know what xylitol is? Are you (fully) aware of the danger it poses to dogs? You wouldn’t be alone if you answered “no” to either, or even both of these questions. Yet xylitol can be far-more-dangerous to dogs than chocolate! The picture below shows the minimum amount of dark chocolate that could cause death in three different weights of dog — compared to the minimum number of pieces of xylitol-containing sugar free gum that could have the same devastating effect. We continue with items about invasive snakes and the humane relocation of snakes, our deep love of dogs, and avoiding pet health emergencies in hot weather activities. Blue green “algae” alert This season, there have been reports of dogs becoming sick and dying after exposure to ponds harboring the so-called blue-green algae. Especially frightening is that even clear ponds can sometimes have the blue-green algae growing in them and that exposure can cause rapidly progressive illness and sometimes death. Blue-green algae contain deadly bacteria called cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria are microscopic organisms found in freshwater lakes, streams, ponds, and brackish (salty) water ecosystems. The algae give the water a blue-green or “pea soup” appearance. It looks almost as if someone spilled blue or green paint on the surface of the water. These floating blooms can form thick, dense mats that collect near the shore, which is where animals and people come in contact with them. Are you an ailurophile? Plus, do you know the word ailurophile? It means a person who likes cats; a cat fancier. Independence Day tips for easing stress in pets. We wrap up with ideas to get your pets through the assault of Independence Day fireworks. It’s our dogs’ least favorite day of the year.

‘Ave Maria’, introduced here by one of our Choristers, Imogen Walker. “This piece started life not as a vocal piece but as an instrumental chamber work: Méditation sur le Premier Prélude de piano de J S Bach. The story goes that Gounod was at his Paris home in 1852 with his fiancée, Anna Zimmermann, and her composer father, Pierre-Joseph-Guillaume Zimmermann. Gounod improvised a melody over Bach’s Prelude and was overheard by Pierre who rushed into the room and asked him to play it again so that he could transcribe it. The chamber version was then performed at a house concert a few days later and published in 1853. It wasn’t until 1859 that words were first added; initially a short poem by Alphonse de Lamartine, and later Ave Maria. This is a piece that I used to love singing when I was a child, and I’ve had a soft spot for it ever since.”

Last week, we announced the acquisition of POKKT Mobile Ads (POKKT), and this week we start yet another stage of growth for AnyMind Group. I am pleased that we are able to leverage on both companies’ strengths, as we look to grow further, together. The synergy is immediately apparent on three different levels. 1) Market synergy We have always targeted India and the Middle East for expansion, and POKKT’s bases in these markets allow us to have a local footprint from 17 offices and 13 markets across Southeast Asia, East Asia, India and the Middle East. What this means is that we are opening up opportunities for our marketers, publishers, influencers, creators and all other stakeholders, from Southeast Asia and East Asia into India and the Middle East, and vice versa – enabling greater expansion and synergy across these markets in the entertainment tech, marketing tech and HR tech spaces. 2) Product synergy POKKT is a leading in-app video ad platform that is integrated with over 1,000 app publishers with a reach of 500,000,000 monthly active users (MAU). This is something we have started to build up recently, and POKKT provides us with an immediate and strong footprint for mobile advertising. On the other side, we have built strong offerings for browser-based display and video ads through the AdAsia Premium Marketplace, and all the above are available through the AdAsia Digital Platform and AdAsia360 for advertisers and publishers respectively. 3) Leadership synergy The decision to appoint Rohit as Chief Operating Officer was unanimous between Otohiko, Keizo and I. This shows the extent of trust that we have in Rohit as a business leader and as a person. We are also entrusting Vhaibhav to grow the POKKT offering in our other markets, and also lead India and the Middle East for AnyMind Group. This allows all of us to play to our strengths, and bring greater growth to the business. I also want to take this time to highlight the leadership team we have put in place at AnyMind Group. These individuals of different backgrounds have proven their abilities not just as business leaders, but also leaders of people. I am confident that with this team in place, we can grow further, together. For marketers and advertisers We want to thank you for your support throughout the years, and we are now in a position to provide you with a strong and integrated solution for your marketing needs. Combined across all of our markets, we have a direct inventory scale of 1,200 online publishers with a reach of over 117 billion monthly impressions, 1,000 mobile app publishers with a reach of 500 million MAU, and more than 1,800 DOOH signages in Thailand and Japan. Also, CastingAsia can provide you with access to over 150,000 influencers and influencer data points globally, including a pool of exclusive and non-exclusive talents across Asia through the CastingAsia Creators Network, Moindy, GROVE and AnyUp. You can now easily leverage on online marketing and influencer marketing through a one-stop solution. For publishers There is now an immense opportunity for us to work more together. Previously we focused mostly on browser-based monetization, but we can now offer a ready-made infrastructure for mobile apps. You will still enjoy the advantages of working with us, including the vast array of monetization opportunities, quality support and local & regional expertise to grow your properties. What will change though, is the added demand from India and the Middle East regions, looking to reach audiences in Southeast Asia and East Asia. I am excited for the opportunities moving forward, as we look to build together a strong ecosystem for further growth. The acquisition of POKKT is justification for our continued commitment and growth to our employees, customers, investors, partners and the wider industry. With the combined synergies of the various brands under AnyMind Group, I am confident that we will continue to provide even more value, innovation and growth for the various ecosystems we’re in. Let’s grow together.

Trees are a beautiful addition to our landscapes and provide environmental benefits. However, they can threaten our homes and safety if not properly maintained. Tree-related emergencies can result in property damage, personal injuries, and even loss of life. To prevent such incidents, homeowners can take preventative steps to help guarantee their trees’ health and stability. Regular Tree Inspections Hire certified arborists to inspect your trees thoroughly at least once a year. Regular tree inspections are crucial for identifying potential risks and ensuring the overall health of your trees. An arborist can assess the structural integrity of the trees, identify signs of decay or disease, and recommend appropriate actions. Early detection of issues can help prevent tree failures and mitigate potential emergencies. Pruning and Trimming Pruning and trimming are essential maintenance practices that reduce the risk of falling branches and promote tree health. Regularly remove dead branches to prevent them from falling unexpectedly. Trim branches too close to your house, power lines, or other structures. Proper pruning techniques, such as crown raising or thinning, can improve tree structure and reduce wind resistance, making trees less likely to topple during storms. Tree Support Systems Installing tree support systems can help prevent emergencies for trees with weak or compromised structures. Cables and braces can support weak branches or multiple trunks, reducing the risk of failure. However, it is crucial to consult with an arborist who can determine the appropriate type and placement of support systems for your trees. Healthy tree roots require a well-drained soil that provides adequate nutrients and oxygen. To promote healthy root growth, homeowners should take care of their soil. Avoid excessive compaction around the base of trees as compacted soil can hinder root development. Mulching around the base of trees helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. However, not piling mulch against the trunk is important as it can promote disease and insect infestations. Watering and Fertilizing Proper watering and fertilizing practices are vital for maintaining tree health and preventing emergencies. Water your trees to encourage deep root growth. Avoid overwatering as it can lead to shallow root systems and make trees more susceptible to wind damage. Consult with an arborist or local extension service to determine the specific watering needs of the tree species in your area. Fertilize trees according to their requirements to ensure they receive adequate nutrients for optimal growth and strength. Storms can be a significant threat to the stability of trees. Homeowners should take proactive measures to prepare their trees for severe weather conditions. Inspect your trees before storm season, looking for signs of weakness or damage. Remove dead or weak branches that strong winds could break. Consider pruning back branches that overhang your house or utility lines. If a storm is approaching, secure any outdoor furniture or structures that could become projectiles in high winds. Preventing tree-related emergencies requires proactive measures and regular maintenance. Storm preparedness is crucial to minimize potential damage during severe weather events. Homeowners can protect their homes and property from tree-related emergencies by following these proactive measures. If you’re a Wilmington, NC, resident, consult with A+ Tree & Landscaping for professional emergency tree services.

- After updating to AirBeam 2.0 i get the message 'Unknown device type cannot be displayed'? Unfortunately there is a small bug and this may happen if your device name contains special characters. Bug will be fixed asap, meanwhile a workaround is to remove special characters from device name. Device name can be changed in device settings app > General > About > Name. - How can I watch my AirBeam cameras from anywhere in the Internet? AirBeam’s autodiscovery mechanism only works when all your devices are in the same local WiFi network. If you want to connect to your camera at home from anywhere in the Internet (or from a cellular network), you first need to configure a port forwarding in your home WiFi router. Otherwise the router’s integrated firewall will block all incoming connections from the outside world. There are two ways to configure port forwarding: - Since AirBeam for iOS 1.4, the app can automatically configure port forwarding with your router. Prerequisite is that your router supports and has enabled Universal Plug and Play (UPNP) or Apple’s NAT-Port Mapping Protocol. In this case just switch on „Port Mapping“ in AirBeam’s general settings page. If successful, a small cloud icon on AirBeam’s camera view will indicate that the camera is reachable in the Internet and you will see the public addresses by touching the icon. Just use a browser or AirBeam’s „manual connect“ button to connect to these addresses from anywhere. As the public IP address of your WiFi router might change from time to time (depending on your Internet Service Provider), it is recommended to use a free dynamic DNS service like http://www.no-ip.com to be able to access your camera with a constant hostname. - If your router does not support automatic port forwarding via UPNP or NAT-PMP, you can establish the required port mapping manually with your router’s configuration tool. A step by step example how to set it up can be found here. - My camera does not appear automatically on the monitor device - what to do? AirBeam’s autodiscovery mechanism relies on Apples bonjour technology, which requires camera and monitor devices to be connected to the same local WiFi network. Bonjour is supported by nearly all WiFi access points but might be disabled on public or company WiFi networks. If you experience problems, please try the following checklist first: - Restart your WiFi router – we had quite some case where this solved the problem. - Ensure devices have basic connectivity (e.g. by checking a web page in Safari). - Try to connect the devices manually. To do so start the camera on one device and look up the IP address of the camera on AirBeam’s settings page. On the other device, hit the manual connect button in the lower right corner of the monitor tab. Enter the IP address of the camera you looked up before. - If manually connect also doesn’t work, try to access AirBeam’s build in the web server by entering the URL displayed on the recordings tab into Safari on another device (e.g. from your Mac). - If all this doesn’t help, try to check on another WiFi network. You can also contact us via our support page and please also let us know the exact WiFi router (brand, model) you are using. - Can I also use a camera device connected via a cellular mobile network (instead of WiFi)? Unfortunately this is not possible today as cellular mobile data networks don’t allow incoming connections towards a camera device. - Video playback isn't smooth when I have enabled Bluetooth on my device? iPhones, iPods and iPads use a single build in antenna for WiFi and Bluetooth communication. Activating Bluetooth can interfere with and degrade the performance of your WiFi connection. So you might want to disable Bluetooth when using AirBeam. - Is there a way to turn off the screen completely on the camera device? Unfortunately the device can’t be locked completely while video capturing continues in the background. The available Apple APIs simply don’t permit this. However, since AirBeam for iOS 1.4, you can enable a „lock screen“ in AirBeam’s general settings. If enabled, the screen will turn dark after 30 seconds in camera mode and will come back as soon as you touch the screen. If you’ve set a password in addition, the app will show a simulate a lock screen similar to the official iOS lock screen. You will have to enter the password you’ve set to get back into the app. - Where are AirBeam's recordings stored? By default AirBeam stores all recordings locally on the camera device – even when they are started from a remote monitor. If you use the OSX version, all recordings are stored in folder called „AirBeam“ in your Movies folder. - How can I integrate the AirBeam video stream with 3rd party surveillance applications? The app offers a standard Motion-JPEG video stream that can be integrate into many 3rd party surveillance solution like Synology Surveillance Station, Security Spy, etc. The web server delivering this stream listens on the standard web port (80 for iOS, 8124 for OSX) and responds to the URL-Path „/service/camera/video.mjpeg“. For older versions of AirBeam (1.x) the URL-Path is just „/video“. You can test this easily by entering the URL http://your-device-ip/service/camera/video.mjpeg into a MJPEG compatible web browser (e.g. Safari or Chrome). To add a AirBeam camera to a 3rd party surveillance tool, just enter the device address and „/service/camera/video.mjpeg“ URL in the corresponding settings. The picture below shows the settings dialogue of a Synology Surveillance Station as an example: - How ca i watch the AirBeam video stream with VLC ? AirBeam offers a standard Motion-JPEG stream that can be watched with VLC. To do so open a network stream in VLC with the URL: http://your-device-ip/service/camera/video.mjpeg. If you are using AirBeam for OSX, connect to port 8124: http://your-device-ip:8124/service/camera/video.mjpeg

Delta Zones Buy/Sell Pressure Indicator The "Delta Zones Buy/Sell Pressure" indicator, created by the original author "scarf", is a technical tool that unveils key areas of buying and selling pressure in the market. This indicator utilizes the concept of Delta, calculating differences between open, close, high, and low prices. When these differences exceed a threshold determined by the user-defined standard deviation, areas of intense buying (indicated by green boxes) and selling pressure (indicated by red boxes) on the chart are identified. How It Works: The indicator calculates Delta using various combinations of candle prices to determine buying and selling pressure. When Delta surpasses a certain level, indicated by the user-defined standard deviation, visual signals in the form of boxes on the chart are generated. These boxes highlight specific areas where buying or selling pressure is particularly strong, aiding traders in identifying potential entry and exit points in the market. How to Use: * When a green box is drawn, it indicates strong buying pressure in the market. This can be interpreted as a signal to consider long positions. * When a red box is drawn, it indicates strong selling pressure in the market. This can be interpreted as a signal to consider short positions. * Use these signals in combination with your own analysis and risk management strategies to make informed trading decisions. What makes this indicator original is its unique approach to identifying specific areas of buying and selling pressure. By calculating Delta in multiple ways and utilizing standard deviation as a filter, this indicator provides clear and concise visual signals about market activity. The combination of these features distinguishes it as a valuable tool for traders seeking a better understanding of market behavior. This modification differs from the original by displaying the information on the price chart with horizontal bars, below each delta, instead of an oscillator at the bottom similar to the volume indicator. Consider Market Trends: Before making any trading decisions using the Delta Zones Buy/Sell Pressure Indicator, it is crucial to analyze the prevailing market trends. Assess the overall direction of the market, whether it's trending upward, downward, or moving sideways. Align your trades with the dominant trend to increase the probability of successful outcomes. The indicator's signals can be more reliable when they align with the broader market trend. Evaluate Macro-Economic Factors: Additionally, take into account macro-economic factors that could influence price movements. Factors such as economic indicators, geopolitical events, interest rate decisions, and global market sentiments can significantly impact the financial markets. Stay updated with relevant news and economic reports to anticipate potential market shifts. Understanding the broader economic context can help you interpret the indicator's signals within a more informed framework. Practice Risk Management: Regardless of the signals provided by the Delta Zones Buy/Sell Pressure Indicator, always implement effective risk management strategies. This includes setting stop-loss orders, diversifying your portfolio, and only risking a small percentage of your trading capital on each trade. By managing your risk, you can protect your investments and ensure longevity in the market, even during volatile periods. Continuous Learning and Adaptation: Financial markets are dynamic and constantly evolving. Continuously educate yourself about new trading strategies, technical analysis tools, and economic developments. Stay open to adapting your trading approach based on changing market conditions. Regularly reviewing your trading strategy and adjusting it according to your experiences and market feedback can significantly enhance your trading performance over the long term. Seek Professional Advice if Necessary: If you are uncertain about specific market trends, indicators, or economic factors, don't hesitate to seek guidance from financial advisors or professionals.

The growth in net profits reflects the strong underlying performance across the business, the bank said in a statement. Revenue increased 3.3 percent to AED1,336 million from AED1,292 million in the same period last year with non-funding income growing by 30 percent offsetting the impact of low rate environment.

Their net profit surged 125 percent compared to Q1 2020 and up 26 percent versus Q4 2020. This reflects their strong underlying performance across our all businesses, partially driven by a rapidly improving economy which allowed us to decrease our impairment by 66 percent compared to Q1 2020. This solid first quarter was also achieved through continued cost discipline which saw operating expenses improve by 7 percent year on year, as well as sustained business momentum and targeted strategic initiatives which partially offset the headwinds from record low rates and the overall economic slowdown brought about by the pandemic.

These virtual assistants have the experience and skills to assist you in increasing your potential profits through effective online marketing strategies. A virtual assistant can conduct competition research, analyze user data, create content, manage campaigns, and build strong customer relationships. Promote the growth of a brand or merchant with the help of an Affiliate Marketing Virtual Assistant Whether you are a startup, a small business, an entrepreneur, or a larger, more established entity, you can boost the sales growth of your digital product by implementing an affiliate program. Here, an affiliate marketing virtual assistant can help with various tasks. What tasks can a virtual affiliate management assistant do? A virtual affiliate management assistant can help with several tasks to help your online business grow. Below are the main ones: - Development of an affiliate program and registration forms - Refining the affiliate registration page design and copy - Tempting relevant content creators to join the affiliate programs. - Handling affiliates. - This assistant can research methods of developing and scaling affiliate programs. - Report on the program’s efficiency and growth potential - Communicate concerns from the affiliates to the client - Manage the team’s payroll to make sure that affiliates are paid punctually - Recommend affiliate management software, which could lessen much of the manual work - Approve affiliate sales - Affiliate program newsletter creation and sending - Blog-post creation and publishing - Paid search compliance checking - Invoicing number groundwork - Performance data investigation and metrics are compiled. The benefits of hiring a virtual affiliate management assistant A virtual assistant can help you focus on your core business and not become distracted by other functions, such as marketing. - Affiliate marketers can assist in boosting your products through mobile marketing, social media marketing, online marketing, email marketing, video marketing, advertising, and optimization, which can lead to traffic and sales. - Moreover, with an affiliate program, you can take your company to the next level while increasing your profits over time. Affiliate marketing is making money (in the form of commissions) each time you market a business’s services or products and then drive a sale. You only are paid each time you make a sale. This is similar to how a commission-only sales representative earns their money. However, here, a virtual assistant will be promoting the services or products and, for each sale, receive a small commission. Affiliate marketing is a sort of performance-based marketing in which a company rewards one or more affiliates for every customer or visitor brought by the affiliate’s marketing efforts. The affiliated industry has four core players, namely, the merchant (aka the ‘retailer’ or ‘brand’), the network (which contains offers for the affiliate to select from and also takes care of the payments), the publisher (which is also known as ‘the affiliate’), and also the customer. Different affiliate marketing techniques can be effective. However, some are more effective than others. Here are some of the best effective affiliate marketing techniques: - Use different affiliate programs. Don’t rely just on one affiliate program. Use several programs to diversify your income stream. This will also help you to reach a larger audience. - Promote products that are relevant to your market niche. Don’t promote or market just any service or product. There are several ways to measure and track your affiliate marketing results. The critical thing is to set up a system that works for your business and you. One way to track your results is to use a software program or set up a spreadsheet that lets you follow your conversions and sales. This will give you a good sense of how much profit you generate from your affiliate marketing efforts. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. This is because the best tips for affiliate marketing success will vary depending on the niche market and specific affiliate program. But, some general tips can assist in boosting your chances of success as an affiliate marketer. So, do your research. Before marketing any affiliate program, take the time to research the business, the services or products it offers, and the commission structure. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the critical strategies for affiliate marketing success will differ depending on the services and products being promoted, the target audience, the affiliate network, and the affiliate marketing program. Yet, there are some general strategies that all affiliate marketers should keep in mind to achieve success. So, choose the right products or services to promote. There is no one answer to this question because everyone makes different mistakes and has different ways of avoiding them. Yet, here are some essential tips that may assist: - Please pay attention to your actions and their consequences. If you find yourself making many mistakes, take some time to reflect on why this may be happening and what you can do differently. - Being honest with yourself and acknowledging your mistakes is the first step to avoiding them in the future. Virtual assistant and affiliate marketing are two different concepts in digital technology and marketing. A virtual assistant is an individual who provides administrative or other types of support to businesses or individuals from a remote location. They may perform tasks such as managing email, scheduling appointments, and handling customer inquiries. On the other hand, affiliate marketing is a marketing strategy in which an individual or company promotes the products or services of another company and receives a commission for any resulting sales or leads. The affiliate marketer may use various techniques to promote the products or services, such as social media, email, or content marketing. Affiliate marketing and brand ambassadorship are two strategies businesses use to promote their services and products. Also, affiliate marketing involves promoting a product or service and receiving a commission for any resulting sales or leads. The focus is on driving sales and generating revenue. On the other hand, a brand ambassador promotes a company’s brand and values, often through social media, in-person events, or other marketing initiatives. The emphasis is on building brand awareness and establishing a positive brand image. While both approaches can be practical, their objectives and methods differ significantly.

Engineers or doctors don’t see the value of social media. For many, these sites are merely fluff. However, social media helps brands become noticed − they are a great way to connect with their clients and build trust. If you are an engineer with a great new product, you want a matching social media presence. A virtual assistant social media manager can help you get there. What to expect from a virtual assistant social media manager A social media manager or remote social media assistant is utilized by many small startups that want to keep their business overheads low while scaling rapidly. These companies want to attract venture capitalists to invest in their business. Many startups like to outsource their non-core tasks. This idea is something they have found on Google, which is known for outsourcing their non-core tasks. Social media management is one of these non-core tasks. It is an essential yet much-overlooked task. Much occurs behind the scenes that are geared to gain the best results for every post released − the graphics, the copy, the timing, using influencers, and scheduling the posts. A virtual social media assistant can manage these social media campaigns with ease. Moreover, the assistant will relieve busy executives of undue time spent on their social media channels. This is valuable time that can be spent on their core work. Some of the tasks of a virtual assistant social media manager Managing different social media accounts: As part of managing various social media accounts, the virtual social media assistant would reply to comments and queries (predominantly negative comments). However, they will also post engaging and fresh content, share others’ content, and schedule posts. Pinpointing and interacting with your core target audience You need to think big if you are a small startup with big dreams. It would help if you built your social media status quickly. You do so by posting great content, engaging with the audience, and devising novel social media campaigns that draw the interest of potential new clients. So, let a virtual assistant make these channels work for you! Scheduling and calendar management Planning is everything (well, not really, but it helps to be organized). A good social media calendar will provide explicit and informative content that can be released regularly. Your business will appear active 24/7 and always available to help clients. Here, a remote assistant will use software such as Hootsuite or others to schedule the posts so they go live on the correct date and at the right time. Follow-up and marketing Social media works well for startups that can’t post LinkedIn ads. Social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter can be sources of leads for the sales team. The sales team can connect with new leads via email marketing to intensify their story. The social media assistant will ‘warm the client up’ and bring them to the point where they feel they know and trust your brand. However, this warm-up process is not instant – it can take a few months to materialize. The benefits of hiring a social media virtual assistant When companies start hiring, they typically limit their outreach to the city or town where they are located. This works for on-site employees. Virtual assistants are not on-site employees. Instead, virtual assistants such as social media virtual assistants or social media VAs are committed to a company but work remotely. This means that a company can hire great talent for less and remain competitive. A virtual assistant is a game-changer for many businesses that can’t afford such highly qualified people locally. Instead of lowering their expectations, these startups can onboard some of the best talent available – albeit from abroad. Virtual assistants are a cost-effective staffing solution Outsourcing means hiring people from elsewhere to accomplish your business tasks. Typically, they do not command the fees on-site employees demand. Nor do you have to pay benefits or taxes for them. This savings can be up to 70% on business overheads, especially if you add the savings on office supplies, a workstation, and office space. How to Hire Your Virtual Assistant for Social Media If you are ready to boost your social media, there are specific steps you should consider. Write down the tasks you would like to delegate and who the person would need to keep updated. We suggest speaking to an outsourcing expert if this is the first time you will hire a virtual assistant. Also, identify which channels you want to create and build your market dominance. Let our experts guide and advise you. Prepare your questions – our people are there to help you. Aristo Sourcing offers a free consultation service. Book your complimentary 30-minute chat today!

In this week's edition of the NBA Power Rankings the Miami Heat take the top spot despite some injuries woes. The New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers still can't crack the top ten and there is a huge surprise at number 2. Let's take a look... 1. Miami Heat 8-1: LeBron James has been the best player in the NBA and the Heat continue to cruise along even with Dwayne Wade sidelined with a foot injury. The Heat are 3-0 without Wade and even beat the Hawks in triple OT without him and James. 2. Philadelphia 76ers 6-2: This is based on how teams are currently playing. Do I think the 76ers are going to end up as the second best team in the NBA this season? No, but right now they have the highest point differential, best offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency. The 76ers are also in the midst of a five game winning streak, which is the longest in the league. 3. Chicago Bulls 8-2: Bulls have the third highest point differential in the NBA. In a good sign for Chicago, Carlos Boozer is starting to pick up his play. If he could get back to the level he produced in Utah it would really help the Bulls offensively. 4. Oklahoma City Thunder 8-2: I like that the Thunder are 3-1 on the road early in the season. Teams who are going to be number one seeds in their conference need to win on the road. They are winning without Russell Westbrook playing good basketball. Losing Eric Maynor for the season was a hit and rookie point guard Reggie Jackson is going to need to step up. 5. Portland Trailblazers 6-2: I really like this Portland team and I am interested to see how this season plays out for them. I never thought LaMarcus Aldridge would become as good as he currently is. 6. Atlanta Hawks 7-3: The Hawks have impressive wins over the Heat and Bulls plus they would have beat the Bulls a second time if they could have made free throws down the stretch. After a slow start Josh Smith is playing terrific basketball. 7. San Antonio Spurs 6-3: The Spurs are 6-0 at home and 0-3 on the road. They are just trying to keep things together until Manu Ginobili returns. I like this Spurs team more than last year's team because of the depth they have on the bench. 8. Los Angeles Clippers 4-2: The Clippers have only played six games, the least of any team in the NBA. The offensive is tremendous, but they are still trying to figure things out defensively. 10. Orlando Magic 6-3: Orlando's best win is against the Houston Rockets and they were blown out by the best two teams they faced - the Bulls and Thunder. Dwight Howard is playing tremendously as he waits to get traded.

Written by Gavin Ramsay A number of Armagh astronomers travelled this week to the University of Warwick in England to take part in the first `in-person’ UK National Astronomy Meeting since 2019. Over 800 people participated either in person or remotely. For many PhD students it was the first big meeting they had been to. From Armagh, Erin, Chris, Kerem, Gautham, Rok and Nived all gave presentations either in-person or remotely. The five days of the meeting were split into ‘plenary’ sessions which were open to all and a series of ‘parallel’ meetings which were more specialist. Lunch time sessions were devoted to topics such as Diversity in Astronomy, Sci-Art and Careers. Evening events included the keenly anticipated Football tournament (I believe the team from QUB won!) and a trip to Kenilworth Castle. The initial results from JWST were amongst the plenary sessions. Some of the images were very impressive, as was the technological achievement of bringing such a hugely difficult project to a successful start. However, my view is that it is the spectra from star forming regions; galaxies (both near and far) and exoplanets, which will provide the real scientific interest. George Efstathiou from Cambridge asked, ‘Do We Have a Standard Model of Cosmology?’ The answer was … ‘yes’ … ‘but’ … we don’t understand inflation, dark matter or dark energy. Moreover, is the Lambda Cold Dark Matter model just a fitting function (and not telling us anything)? In George’s view, there hasn’t been a paradigm shift for 40 years since the development of inflation which predicts the universe rapidly expanded in very earliest fraction of a second after the big bang. His ‘best bet’ would be the detection or discovering the nature of dark matter. Other talks which stood out (at least for me) was Richard Horne from British Antarctic Survey who outlined the effects of Space Weather on satellites. In the 1980’s many high-profile satellites failed and insurers found it difficult to assess risk. They started giving contracts to Solar and Plasma Physicists to help. He noted that many low earth satellites (starlink etc) have been launched in recent years during Solar minimum and will be interesting to see how they survive during the approaching Solar maximum. Finally, it was great to see work from the Gravitational Wave community which is generating more complex waveforms which are needed to better model the data expected from the next Ligo/Virgo observation runs starting the Spring of next year. Finally, but perhaps most importantly, it was great to see many friends and colleagues in the `real world’ for the first time since before the pandemic. I’ve seen many on Zoom every week, some several times a week, and saw at least one new colleague for the first time in person. However, the biggest shock was to remember how tall many of them were … either that or I’m getting even smaller … (everyone appears to be the same size on Zoom!). I did hear someone telling a colleague they didn’t recognise them without their usual background …. Before next year’s UK NAM at Cardiff, there will be the Irish NAM at Dunsink in Sept this year, where Astronomers from AOP will be taking part.

For over 30 years Monash Gallery of Art’s (MGA) benefactors have been instrumental in the development of the only public collection solely dedicated to Australian photography, and it all started with a tapestry donated by Harry Seidler… Since its inception MGA has forged its own trailblazing path, never wavering from its commitment to champion and support Australian photography and its artists. MGA has long been praised for being progressive and innovative, especially when in the early 1980s it took the bold, unfashionable and revolutionary step to focus on Australian photography. In doing so, MGA became the only public collection solely dedicated to Australian photography and soon came to hold one of the nation’s most significant collections of Australian photographs. Now numbering over 3,100 Australian photographs, MGA’s collection illustrates the story of photography in Australia and its development is in no small part due to the generosity of donors. Collectors, supporters and artists have been critical to the collection’s development with half the collection built through donations. Curated by Anouska Phizacklea, LEGACY. Your Collection. Our Story. celebrates the impact benefactors have had on the development of one of the nation’s most unique and important collections, a collection dedicated to Australian photography and its artists. LEGACY teases out the fascinating and compelling stories behind the works, and showcases significant works that chart the history of MGA, from a Joseph Albers tapestry donated by Harry Seidler, the architect of MGA’s building, through to the most recent donated works by Australian luminaries including Carol Jerrems, Max Dupain, Wolfgang Sievers just to name a few.

Welcome to the resource topic for 2021/1583 Orientations and the supersingular endomorphism ring problem Authors: Benjamin WesolowskiAbstract: We study two important families of problems in isogeny-based cryptography and how they relate to each other: computing the endomorphism ring of supersingular elliptic curves, and inverting the action of class groups on oriented supersingular curves. We prove that these two families of problems are closely related through polynomial-time reductions, assuming the generalised Riemann hypothesis. We identify two classes of essentially equivalent problems. The first class corresponds to the problem of computing the endomorphism ring of oriented curves. The security of a large family of cryptosystems (such as CSIDH) reduces to (and sometimes from) this class, for which there are heuristic quantum algorithms running in subexponential time. The second class corresponds to computing the endomorphism ring of orientable curves. The security of essentially all isogeny-based cryptosystems reduces to (and sometimes from) this second class, for which the best known algorithms are still exponential. Some of our reductions not only generalise, but also strengthen previously known results. For instance, it was known that in the particular case of curves defined over \mathbb F_p, the security of CSIDH reduces to the endomorphism ring problem in subexponential time. Our reductions imply that the security of CSIDH is actually equivalent to the endomorphism ring problem, under polynomial time reductions (circumventing arguments that proved such reductions unlikely).

But how can you stay home and

I’m often shocked at the ways in which many people in their 20s, 30s and 40s carelessly share personal information about themselves in very public ways. We’ve all heard of people over-sharing on Facebook and Twitter, doing things like telling other when they’re away from their home or exactly when and where they’re traveling, or posting pictures of their new flat-screen in their apartment. All of these are ill-advised practices that make it easy for crooks to potentially target you for theft. Unfortunately, some older Americans – namely retirees and pre-retirees – are equally guilty of carelessly exposing their personal information. But these days, senior citizens (and all of us), really do have to do a better job of guarding our personal identities. That’s why I was so alarmed last night, as I was watching the Democratic National Convention, to see an older woman flash her Medicare card on national television. Former President Bill Clinton was on stage was talking about Medicare, when all of a sudden the camera panned to a woman boldly (and foolishly) holding up her own Medicare card in plain sight. Needless to say, the card had sensitive and private information, including her name, social security number and date of birth. To put that information out there so publicly is like giving a well-known thief the front keys to your door and saying: “I’m going out for a few hours. Feel free to take what you want.” I recognize that this woman probably acted impetuously, and on an impulse, simply whipping her card out to show that she was a Medicare recipient, and that she didn’t want anyone messing with her Medicare benefits. But honestly, that’s still no excuse. You should think before you act in this electronic age, especially when something you do can be seen and broadcast all over the world in an instant. Frankly, I also blame the camera man and PBS. I know this was a live event. But they shouldn’t have taken that shot. Or if the camera man wasn’t aware of what was being seen, someone in the control booth should’ve exercised better judgment and quickly panned away from that shot, or not allowed it to air in the first place. As I said to my husband, what would they have done if that same woman had lifted her shirt and exposed her bare chest? Would they have taken video of the woman’s breast and shown the woman to the entire country and the world? I don’t mean to be graphic. But to me, the logic is pretty much the same. If you see something, even as a photographer/videographer or producer, and you realize that it clearly isn’t appropriate for the circumstances or puts someone at risk, at what point do you have a responsibility to NOT air that material? But back to the woman herself. I do think the ultimate blame lies with her. She simply made a poor choice. Again, it was likely a careless, spur-of-the-moment thing. Nevertheless, it’s when we’re in the heat of the moment that we all need to keep cool heads. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time – in fact, it’s far from it – when I’ve seen an elderly person do something risky and unwise in the fast-moving electronic age. I once wrote an online article about debt and a retiree actually posted a comment online replying to my article. In that person’s comments, he asked me for help in dealing with a debt problem and he went on to give me his social security number and home phone number. I was stunned by this extreme naivete on his part. I did reply to the man’s request for help. And when I reached out to the man, I also told him not to post his private information in a public forum again. When you divulge private information (willfully or unwittingly), so much can go wrong: An identity thief can steal your social security number and file a bogus tax return. A crook can open credit card accounts in your name. A scammer can try to loot your banking, investment or financial accounts. And if you’re the victim of identity theft, you lose more than money. You also lose your good credit. And you waste precious time trying to clean up the mess left by the identity thief. So let’s all be a lot more careful, and much more guarded, when it comes to our personal data and private information.

Are you aware that by simply making a few minor yet meaningful changes to your eating habits, you can live a longer life and enhance your health? Maintaining good eating habits is crucial for optimum health and will increase your energy levels, help you lose weight, enhance your mood and much more. Plus, it’s extremely easy to get started with healthy eating. Keep reading for five good habits that will allow you to start eating healthier today. Habit 1 – Don’t Skip Breakfast People often skip breakfast because they’re in a rush during the morning and have to dash out of the door. However, there’s a reason breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day. A healthy and well-balanced breakfast will give you plenty of energy to carry out your daily tasks with relative ease and also remain in good spirits throughout the day. In addition, studies show that people who have a healthy breakfast actually lose more weight than individuals who have no breakfast because they are less likely to get tempted by unhealthy treats during the day. We’ve all had a vending machine “meal” before. How often are they healthy? Not often. Plus, a healthy breakfast supplies your body with all the nutrients it needs after an extended period of fasting during sleep. So if you’re constantly skipping breakfast, make time for it every day and enjoy all the benefits it provides. Habit 2 – Plan Your Weekly Grocery Shopping If you fail to plan your weekly grocery shopping, it’s more than likely that you’ll run out of healthy foods before the week is over. Then when there’s nothing healthy to eat at home, you will order junk food or fill up on unhealthy foods that are loaded with calories. Therefore, if you are keen on achieving good eating habits, schedule in some time every week to plan and shop for healthy foods that will cover all of your meals for the full seven days. Habit 3 – Keep Healthy Snacks On Hand Healthy snacks are a fantastic tool that can keep you satiated between meals and stop you filling up on unhealthy processed treats. There are lots of quick and easy healthy snacks you can choose from with fresh fruits, Greek yogurt, nuts, smoothies and seeds all being excellent options. So choose some healthy snacks that you like and make sure you always have them close by for the times when hunger strikes. Habit 4 – Drink Plenty Of Water Drinking at least eight glasses of water per day has a number of health benefits. First, it stops you filling up on unhealthy sodas or other calorie laden beverages. Second, it keeps you fully hydrated which ensures your body performs optimally, increases your metabolism, boosts your energy levels, enhances your circulation and much more. If you’re struggling to consume eight glasses of water per day, you can boost your intake with other healthy hydration options. Coffee, fruit infused water, tea are all great alternatives to water that contain zero calories, are completely natural and very hydrating. Habit 5 – Mix Up Your Diet Regardless of how healthy your diet is, you’ll quickly get bored with it if it consists of the same foods day in and day out. This in turn will cause you to deviate to unhealthy foods. To avoid this trap, make sure you mix up your diet and include a variety of healthy and tasty meals. When you do this, you’ll start to enjoy the process of healthy eating much more because every meal tastes different and offers you fresh new flavors. As a result, you’ll rarely be tempted by junk foods and find maintaining your healthy eating habits a lot easier. These five habits may sound simple but they’re highly effective. So if you’re serious about improving your diet and boosting your health, act on them now for long term healthy eating success.

calastro New Member - Skill Level - Time with Product Mar 26, 2008 - User Notes: A true workhorse of a video camera!Pros: For many years, low light level CCD monochrome surveillance video cameras have been the standard workhorse for astronomers doing video occultation timing and video meteor recording. The 902 series of cameras from Watec (Japan) and Watec America have long been the leaders and innovators in getting the emerging Sony CCD technologies out to the market. The 902 series was far ahead of most other manufactures in that it used Sony CCD's in 1/2" format. The WAT-902B is the current version of the 902 series camera from Watec (Japan) using the Sony Super HAD technology CCD detector. It is virtually the same camera as the earlier WAT-902 and the WAT-902A and has just a slightly better sensitivity rating of .003 lux at f/1.4. The primary changes over the years have been in the Sony CCD technology and slight changes to the camera external connections. I have used the WAT-902B on several occasions and found its performance to be virtually identical to the earlier models, though I have not owned one myself. It would routinely go down to 8th magnitude or better on smaller sized amateur telescopes using a good composite monitor. I highly recommend it if you require a camera at this sensitivity level.Sort by

This is a politically desperate distraction which hints that the Democrats aren’t as confident about former Vice President Joe Biden’s supposedly impending victory as their media surrogates are trying to convince everyone is bound to happen in a few weeks’ time. US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi recently said that she’ll seek to promulgate a bill mandating the formation of a Congressional commission tasked with deciding whether the 25th amendment should be applied to US President Donald Trump. That amendment creates a mechanism for removing the President from office if they’re unable to continue their duty. It’s been previously discussed before considering Trump’s erratic behavior, but this time Pelosi says that it’s relevant in regards to his supposed lack of recovery from COVID-19. This is a politically desperate distraction which hints that the Democrats aren’t as confident about former Vice President Joe Biden’s supposedly impending victory as their media surrogates are trying to convince everyone is bound to happen in a few weeks’ time. Instead of focusing on the issues that matter to most Americans, chiefly socio-economic ones, the most powerful elected Democrat in the country right now decided that it’s better to once again speculate about whether Trump is mentally fit to continue serving as President. There are several reasons why she decided to go this route. Firstly, the series of scandals that the Democrats tried to trap Trump in have thus far failed to remove him from office. These are “Russiagate”, “Ukrainegate” (for which he was officially impeached by the House of Representatives), and what can be described as the first variation of “COVIDgate”, which pertains to his administration’s alleged cover-up of when it learned just how dangerous this virus is and the government’s seemingly irresponsible response to it afterwards. This second variation of “COVIDgate” is less credible than the first since it can be interpreted as little more than a personal attack against Trump. Not only that, but it also risks stigmatizing other COVID-19 victims and survivors. As it stands, the international medical community doesn’t know much about the long-term consequences of COVID-19. There isn’t any consensus concerning Pelosi’s innuendo that certain treatments make patients mentally unfit to continue their professional activities. Her malicious speculation might also be motivated by the party’s desire to cover up for their presidential and vice presidential candidates’ less than stellar performances at the recent debates. Although reviews of these events are mixed, it can objectively be said that Trump and Vice President Mike Pence had impressive showings and made some pretty valid points against their opponents. Pelosi seems desperate to distract from any further discussion about those debates, hence another reason why she’s now pushing the 25th amendment bill. There’s a near-universal expectation among experts that her efforts are bound to fail. It’s unrealistic to expect the bill to pass, let alone a majority of Cabinet members and the Vice President to agree that Trump is unable to remain in office. She’s therefore doing this for purely political purposes, which makes a mockery out of that amendment, risks stigmatizing COVID-19 patients and survivors all across the world, and raises uncomfortable questions about just how confident the Democrats really are about Biden’s possible victory. Americans have long had enough of political theater over the past four years since the 2016 presidential campaign catalyzed the descent of domestic politics into madness. They deserve better from both parties considering what’s at stake in this election. The Democrats cannot convincingly claim that Trump’s tweets are a tactic to distract from domestic issues when Pelosi is pushing her 25th amendment bill for that exact same purpose. Both the Republicans and Democrats are guilty of emotionally manipulating the American people. Many argue that this election is the Democrats’ to lose after taking into account Trump’s low approval ratings and the multitude of scandals that have accompanied his time in office. That’s a provocative, yet nevertheless largely accurate, assessment, which makes it all the more disappointing (though not necessarily surprising) to see Pelosi resort to her latest scheme. The Democrats have the chance to show Americans that they’re everything that Trump isn’t, yet here they are applying similar tactics in order to distract voters, which is a pity.

Understanding Dual Citizenship Dual citizenship, also known as dual nationality, is a legal status in which a person is a citizen of two countries at the same time. This status can be acquired through various means, such as birth, marriage, or naturalization. Each country has its own set of regulations regarding dual citizenship, and Poland is no exception. Navigating the process of obtaining dual citizenship in Poland can be complex, but with the right information and guidance, it is achievable. Polish Citizenship by Descent One of the most common ways to obtain Polish dual citizenship is through descent. If you have a parent, grandparent, or, in some cases, great-grandparent who was a Polish citizen, you may be eligible to claim Polish citizenship. The process typically involves gathering documentation to prove your lineage and submitting an application to the Polish government. While the specific requirements may vary depending on individual circumstances, having a thorough understanding of your family history and the relevant regulations is crucial. Applying for Citizenship by Naturalization If you do not qualify for Polish citizenship by descent, another option is to apply for naturalization. This process involves meeting certain residency and language requirements, as well as demonstrating a commitment to the Polish community. While the details can vary, the general process includes submitting an application, providing supporting documentation, and possibly attending an interview. It’s important to familiarize yourself with the specific criteria and procedures to ensure a smooth application process. Benefits of Dual Citizenship Obtaining dual citizenship in Poland can offer a range of benefits, including the ability to live, work, and study in Poland without the need for a visa or residence permit. Additionally, dual citizens have the right to own property in Poland and access the country’s healthcare and social services. Furthermore, having Polish citizenship opens up opportunities to travel and reside in other European Union countries. Understanding the advantages of dual citizenship can help motivate individuals to pursue this status. Navigating the Legal and Bureaucratic Landscape As with any legal process, navigating the complexities of dual citizenship regulations in Poland can be challenging. From understanding the relevant laws to gathering the necessary documentation and filling out the required forms, the process can be daunting. Seeking guidance from a legal professional or immigration specialist with expertise in Polish citizenship matters can be invaluable. They can provide personalized advice and support to ensure that you are on the right track throughout the application process. Moreover, connecting with other individuals who have successfully obtained dual citizenship in Poland can provide valuable insights and firsthand experiences. Online forums, social media groups, and local communities can be excellent resources for networking and learning from others who have gone through the process.

The Olympic and Paralympic Trials presented by Bell won’t look like any other Trials before. With no fans, an altered program, and a smaller roster of athletes competing, this annual event will be different. With so many obstacles and restrictions involved to keep everyone safe, one thing guided the long journey to make the Trials happen. It’s all about the athletes. Hear from athletes, coaches, and high-performance leaders about how there is just something special about a National Championship and an Olympic and Paralympic Trials. While there will be no spectators June 25 to 27 at Claude Robillard Sports Complex in Montreal, Athletics Canada’s high performance leadership team will be watching closely. With the Games approaching quickly, they will be looking for one thing: performance on demand. “You want to see resilience in an athlete’s performance at Trials,” said Athletics Canada’s Head Coach Glenroy Gilbert. “Even if it doesn’t present the same way we’re used to, with the fans and the overlay of the track, this is similar to what we may encounter when we get to Tokyo. We’re always looking for athletes to perform on demand, which calls for you to be at your very best at your Olympic Trials.” “What we’re trying to get all the athletes to do is perform on-demand,” echoed Simon Nathan, Athletics Canada’s High Performance Director. “As part of that process, there’s also a huge amount of pride in being National Champion. Regardless of circumstances, only a small number of people ever get to be a National Champion in their event.” Read more here>>

When we actively confront people with a full heart, we lead not with judgement but with compassion and a desire for a harmonious outcome. The Sun entered Libra on September 22nd, when the Sun enters either Aries or Libra, the divine masculine and feminine principles of day and night are in equal harmony to one another. We call these Sun entrance points Equinoxes and for the northern hemisphere Libra season signifies the beginning of Autumn while in the southern hemisphere the sign Libra ushers in Spring. Wherever you are on the globe, the equinoxes are important markers of transition and change. During Libra season we always experience a full moon in Aires which conjures within us themes such as: independence, confrontation, balance between self and other, relationships and duality. The opposition of the Sun and the Moon releases energies from within us that have been buried deep, waiting for the right moment to be let go. The Sun reflects and illuminates its divine white light onto the surface of our Moon blasting the shadows with its pure radiant, solar, life-force. This simple cyclical ebb and flow dance guides us to appreciate the inhale just as much as the exhale, to neither linger nor grasp for one over the other. As we traverse the Sun on our tiny beautiful planet, we understand the key to harmony is balance and the key to maintaining grounded footing is to remain equanimous through both the light and the dark parts of life. Ma’at is the Egyptian goddess deity that is a personification of truth, justice, wisdom, law, harmony and the seasons. She is the goddess that all souls meet after their departure from the material plane. Before the soul can transcend up into the cosmic ethers and re-unify with the great source, it must be judged by Ma’at *. The way Ma’at is able to tell if a soul is worthy of transcendence, she weighs it with her ostrich feather. Ma’at was born from Ra (The Sun) and Hathor (The Moon), she is the goddess of the equinoxes and is present in many celebrations of balance and harmony. Her connection to Libra is uncanny, she uses the scales of justice to weigh the heart, the scale is the only inanimate object in the zodiac and is the symbol for Libra. Ma’at represented the daily law and practices that the citizens of Egypt were expected to follow in their everyday life and Libra’s ruler Venus, the Roman goddess of justice is the deity that we all unknowingly follow as the ruler of the justice systems in government courts. Hence why you will often see depictions of owls, a woman with a sword, scales or blindfolded on court room seals. These symbols are reused throughout the world in various ways and stems from our relationship to the cosmos but more specifically, the relationship between the Sun and the Moon. “Training is the first part of the Warrior’s path, and thus the Warrior’s Moon. Fighting effectively is more than just running into the battle in blind wrath. The first demons that need to be subdued are the ones inside, and this is the lesson that the Warrior must learn before he can pick up a sword.” – Raven Kaldera Full Moon in Aries is named “The Warrior’s Moon” By Astrologer and Northern Pagan Shaman, Raven Kaldera in his book Moon Phase Astrology, and this Full Moon in Aries is definitely going to bring the warrior from within us out into the foreground. Full Moons and quarter moons are when energy becomes manifest, which is why we see a lot more action, change and movement during these moon phases. The warrior from within is here to lead the way into what appears to be a confrontation with the other. If we understand alchemy at all however, we come to find that the ‘other’ we are fighting against is that which has been latent inside us, materialized through our perceptions of the outside world. Treat the other how you would treat your inner self. We see power struggles within relationships, groups of people and ideologies where a dormant well of unspoken boundaries were kept hidden. It’s easy to forget that when we don’t overtly express a boundary with another that there is room for misinterpretation of these unspoken boundaries. Telling someone how to respect you is not rude, it is an act of kindness towards yourself and them. Everyone has a different definition of what respect means to them, you have to convey that openly, plainly and direct or else there is room for miscommunication. The Aries Full Moon this year makes contact with Chiron, so the emotionality of this Moon is heightened and can feel like a stinging thorn in the side of the ego. It hurts to share how we feel, and it can bring us pain to have to create these walls between ourselves and those who do not respect our needs. 1 day after the Full Moon the Moon meets up with Mars in Aries, set yourself up for success now by writing down all the ways you have felt disrespected, unfairly treated, talked down to and make amends with it. Promise yourself from this point moving forward, that your friends, family and your bosses will know what your threshold is, so they are made aware whether or not they are encroaching on your emotional space. This is what the Full Moon in Aries is opening up for us, opportunities to confront old relationship wounds in order to move forward and heal where we have let ourselves down by not sticking up for our values, beliefs, space, territory, friends, what have you! Mercury turns Rx in Scorpio two weeks after the Full Moon in Aries, expect a well spring of hidden information to pour forth. Maybe you yourself have some secrets that you have been bursting at the seams to share. Whatever has been hidden will be revealed, the winged messenger moves through the netherworld sign Scorpio to dredge up past secrets and that which has been swept under the rug. If there is something you have been wanting to tell a friend or loved one that has just been eating you alive, now is the time to go on with it. Mercury is moving deep into the subconscious mind, purging what we have forgotten from years ago. This time of release should leave you with a lot less weight on your shoulders and a lot more room in your heart. The lightness from expelling our inner demons is a liberating act and one that the lord of karma, Saturn aids us with. Sometimes you have to cut to the chase, swift and sharp can be the least painful. Mars retrograde is making his way into a square with Pluto, the planet of the underworld and will meet this caretaker of ghosts just in time for Samhain celebrations. October 8/9th – 12/13th the two sync up and boy do the energies feel intense, one day after their meeting Mars makes an opposition with the Sun. The two masculine forces are battling it out for dominion over the territories. Heightened aggression and polarity are hard to miss. We may find that we become easily triggered by societal issues and polarizing political banter, “we can’t just sit around any longer” a message we hear loud and clear. Mars is the planet of brute force, the military, sexual drive and how we exert our force onto the world around us. On the personal level, this can be a time when the path of least resistance is the most productive and we may feel like we want to fight and act out, but that energy will only be turned around onto ourselves. The time for action is when Mars turns direct, it can feel like most of what we try to fight for is blocked in various ways so notice if the universe is telling you a big “NO”. But what we do find during this deep transit is the key information that we need in order to win the battle. Use the information wisely and take action with timed precision, otherwise excess energy can be wasted. Remember the lessons you learned during the Full Moon in Aries and the themes of Libra, remain strong, convicted and equanimous. Our lady Venus in Virgo remains in beautiful aspect to Mars, Lilith and the Moon throughout these heavy transits and offers us strength through grace. She moves out of Leo and into Virgo the day after the Full Moon, shifting the scales of justice towards service for those in need. We see more organized mobility around offering aid, food and services to the sick. Compassion for service industry folks and the nurses and doctors who have been taking care of our wellness all while risking/ sacrificing theirs. The issues around healthcare and wellness culminate when Venus makes an opposition to Neptune on October 17th / 18th just after the new Moon in Libra. Venus’s harmonious aspect to Lilith makes way for cunning and slick communication from the feminine point of view. She makes it hard to look away as she pierces the veil of false light. We see strong female leaders standing out and hitting directly where the weak spots are. There is a very confident and independent nature that comes out of feminine performances. How we as a society express love, sex and self-expression is praised as a liberating and progressive feat. We find creative solutions that can wow a crowd. On a personal level this will feel like a liberating time, of course with all of these heavy aspects forcing us to purge out what has been hidden, there is no question that the lightness of being outweighs the heaviness of conformity. Major aspects for this Full Moon Aries Moon and Chiron – wounded emotions Moon inconjunct Mercury Sun inconjunct Uranus Mercury opposite Uranus – October 6th/7th Mars Rx separating from a square with Saturn which culminated September 29th Mars Rx moving into square with Pluto – begins October 8th – October 10th

Adelaide residents have rallied together to rescue a "scared" dog cowering between the wheels of a train as it sought refuge after being hit by car. On Saturday afternoon a local animal rescue organisation jumped into action after hearing a German Shepherd pup had been hit by a car and was "covered in blood" in the northeast suburb of Salisbury. Despite volunteers and members of the public attempting to the catch the dog, they were unsuccessful before a train began to travel down the track towards the nine-month-old dog. Thankfully, it worked in their favour. "The train came along really slow. It was slowing down as it approached the train station and then all of a sudden the dog ran underneath it," Christine Robertson told Yahoo News Australia. The Director of Lost Pets South Australia explained the dog was trying to hide from her volunteers who aimed to catch it, and were only able to reach the injured dog after crawling underneath the train with help from the "magnificent" train driver. German Shepherd now in safe hands It was initially believed the dog had sustained a spinal injury and broken jaw due to its poor mobility and blood-covered state, but upon medical examination the pup only had a few lacerations and abrasions on his paws. "He was very lucky," Christine said, who shared that despite the dog being "a bit of a love bug" once he had calmed down, no owner has reached out to claim him. Without a microchip either, there is no way for the animal rescuers to reunite the pet with his family. It is a legal requirement for all dog owners to microchip their pets in South Australia, and the animal rescue organisation is hosting the "biggest microchipping program in southern hemisphere", Christine said. She said there is "no excuse" for the dog not to be microchipped. The dog, now affectively nicknamed 'Chugga' in reference to the recognisable sounds made by a train, is being cared for by staff at a specialist animal hospital while awaiting word from his owners. Praise for local community Salisbury Council praised the local community for coming together and finding an efficient solution amid the chaos on Saturday. "All the accolades go to the community who rescued the dog from the train before our officer could be onsite," the council spokesperson told Yahoo, after confirming their Compliance Community Officer only took 30 minutes to arrive on the scene once they were notified. Christine, who was awarded the 2023 South Australian of the Year — Local Hero Award, said she is proud to lead the 60 volunteers who work tirelessly to care for and reunite lost pets with their owners. “Huge tick for my team — they literally put the call out and within a matter of minutes there were volunteers jumping in cars with leashes," she said, before adding, "Big credit to the team for doing that". "The more people that understand that the work we do is significant enough to get an Australian of the Year Award, the more help we get from councils and government to keep our programs going", she said.

From the heart of Africa emerges a musical phenomenon that has taken the world by storm, captivating minds and bodies alike. But what is Afrobeat music? Unravel the magic as we embark on a vibrant journey into the soul of this genre, delving into its origins, grooving to its infectious beats. Afrobeat is a genre of music that originated in West Africa, primarily in Nigeria, during the late 1960s and 1970s. It is a fusion of various musical styles, combining elements of traditional Nigerian and West African rhythms with jazz, funk, highlife, and soul music. The genre was pioneered by Nigerian musician and political activist Fela Kuti. Key characteristics of Afrobeat music include complex rhythms, prominent horn sections, repetitive groove patterns, and socially conscious lyrics. The music typically features extended instrumental passages and vocal chants, creating a hypnotic and danceable sound. Lyrically, Afrobeat songs often address socio-political issues, corruption, inequality, and injustice. Fela Kuti, in particular, used his music as a platform to criticize the Nigerian government and advocate for human rights and social change. What is the definition of Afrobeat music? Afrobeat is a music genre that originated in West Africa in the late 1960s and early 1970s, particularly in Nigeria. It was developed by Nigerian musician and political activist Fela Kuti, who is often referred to as the “Father of Afrobeat.” Afrobeat is a fusion of various musical styles, combining traditional West African rhythms and melodies with jazz, funk, and soul influences. Key features of Afrobeat music include: - Complex Rhythms: Afrobeat is characterized by intricate polyrhythms, typically involving a combination of percussion instruments, drums, and other traditional African instruments. - Horn Sections: The genre often includes a prominent horn section, which plays tight and rhythmic horn arrangements to add depth and energy to the music. - Political and Social Themes: Afrobeat’s lyrics frequently address social and political issues, reflecting Fela Kuti’s own activism and desire to use music as a means of spreading awareness and promoting social change. - Extended Instrumental Jams: Songs in Afrobeat tend to have extended instrumental sections that allow musicians to showcase their skills and create a lively and dynamic atmosphere during performances. - Call-and-Response Vocals: Afrobeat songs often feature call-and-response vocals between the lead singer and backup vocalists or the audience, creating a sense of community and participation. Over the years, Afrobeat has evolved and influenced various contemporary music styles, becoming a global phenomenon and inspiring artists worldwide. Who is considered the pioneer of Afrobeat? Fela Kuti is widely considered to be the pioneer of Afrobeat. He was a Nigerian musician, bandleader, composer, political activist, and Pan-Africanist. He developed Afrobeat in the late 1960s by fusing traditional Yoruba music and highlife with American funk, jazz, and soul influences. Afrobeat is characterized by its complex polyrhythms, chanted vocals, and socially conscious lyrics. Kuti’s music was highly political and often critical of the Nigerian government. He was a vocal opponent of military rule and corruption, and his concerts were often met with violence from the authorities. Despite this, Kuti remained a popular figure in Nigeria and his music had a significant impact on the development of African music. Kuti’s influence can be heard in the work of many other Afrobeat artists, including his sons Femi and Seun Kuti, as well as younger artists like Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy. Afrobeat has also become popular in other parts of the world, and it is now considered to be one of the most important genres of African music. Here are some other notable pioneers of Afrobeat: - Tony Allen, drummer and co-founder of Fela Kuti’s band Africa 70 - Ginger Baker, British drummer who played with Fela Kuti in the 1970s - King Sunny Ade, Nigerian singer and songwriter who blended Afrobeat with traditional Yoruba music - Keziah Jones, British singer and songwriter who fused Afrobeat with reggae and funk - Femi Kuti, son of Fela Kuti and a leading exponent of Afrobeat today How does Afrobeat fuse African rhythms and jazz? Afrobeat is a genre of music that originated in West Africa, particularly in Nigeria, during the late 1960s and 1970s. It was pioneered by the legendary Nigerian musician Fela Kuti. Afrobeat is characterized by its fusion of African rhythms and jazz elements, creating a unique and influential sound that has had a significant impact on the global music scene. Here’s how Afrobeat fuses African rhythms and jazz: - African Rhythms: At its core, Afrobeat draws heavily from traditional West African music, particularly Nigerian highlife, Yoruba, and Afro-Cuban rhythms. These rhythms are often driven by complex polyrhythms, syncopation, and a strong emphasis on percussion instruments, such as drums, congas, and shekeres. These elements create a pulsating and infectious groove that is central to Afrobeat’s appeal. - Jazz Influence: Fela Kuti, the founder of Afrobeat, was heavily influenced by jazz music, which he discovered during his studies in London. He was particularly inspired by the works of American jazz musicians like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Duke Ellington. Fela integrated elements of jazz into Afrobeat, such as extended instrumental solos, horn arrangements, and sophisticated harmonies. The horn section, including saxophones and trumpets, often plays a crucial role in Afrobeat bands, adding a rich and dynamic texture to the music. - Extended Song Structures: Afrobeat songs are typically much longer than traditional pop or rock songs, often exceeding 10 minutes and sometimes going beyond 20 minutes in length. This extended format allows for extensive improvisation, a characteristic commonly associated with jazz music. Musicians in Afrobeat bands have the freedom to take extended solos, showcasing their technical abilities and creativity. - Social and Political Themes: Another commonality between Afrobeat and jazz is their focus on addressing social and political issues through their music. Fela Kuti used his platform to criticize the Nigerian government, advocate for human rights, and speak out against corruption and oppression. Like jazz musicians, he used his music as a form of protest and activism, giving Afrobeat a powerful and socially conscious dimension. What are the typical themes explored in Afrobeat music? Afrobeat music often explores themes of social justice, political activism, and Pan-Africanism. Fela Kuti, the genre’s pioneer, was a vocal critic of the Nigerian government and his music often addressed issues such as corruption, poverty, and environmental degradation. Other common themes in Afrobeat music include love, loss, and spirituality. Here are some specific examples of themes explored in Afrobeat music: - Social justice: Afrobeat music has a long history of addressing social justice issues. Fela Kuti’s songs often criticized the Nigerian government and called for social change. Other Afrobeat artists, such as Femi Kuti and Seun Kuti, have continued this tradition, using their music to raise awareness of important issues such as poverty, corruption, and environmental degradation. - Political activism: Afrobeat music has also been used as a tool for political activism. Fela Kuti was a vocal critic of the Nigerian government and his concerts were often met with violence from the authorities. However, he remained a popular figure in Nigeria and his music helped to raise awareness of political issues. Other Afrobeat artists have also used their music to promote political change. - Pan-Africanism: Afrobeat music is often associated with the Pan-African movement, which seeks to unite Africans across the continent and diaspora. Fela Kuti was a strong believer in Pan-Africanism and his music often promoted unity among Africans. Other Afrobeat artists have also embraced Pan-Africanism, using their music to celebrate African culture and promote unity. - Love: Love is another common theme in Afrobeat music. Fela Kuti’s songs often celebrated love and relationships. Other Afrobeat artists have also written songs about love, exploring themes such as heartbreak, loss, and new beginnings. - Loss: Loss is another important theme in Afrobeat music. Fela Kuti’s songs often dealt with the loss of loved ones, both personal and communal. Other Afrobeat artists have also written songs about loss, exploring themes such as grief, mourning, and resilience. - Spirituality: Spirituality is another important theme in Afrobeat music. Fela Kuti was a devout Yoruba man and his songs often explored Yoruba religious beliefs. Other Afrobeat artists have also incorporated spirituality into their music, drawing on a variety of religious traditions. These are just a few of the many themes that are explored in Afrobeat music. The genre is rich and diverse, and its artists often use their music to address important social, political, and spiritual issues. Which instruments are commonly used in Afrobeat compositions? Afrobeat compositions typically involve a wide range of instruments, each contributing to the vibrant and infectious sound of the genre. Some of the most commonly used instruments in Afrobeat include: - Drums: The drum section is fundamental to Afrobeat music, and various types of drums are used to create the intricate polyrhythms that drive the groove. Common drums include: - Talking Drum: A traditional West African hourglass-shaped drum that can imitate the tones of the Yoruba language and is known for its tunable pitch, allowing it to “talk” and produce different pitches. - Kit Drum Set: A standard drum set consisting of kick drum, snare drum, toms, and cymbals, adding modern and dynamic elements to the rhythm section. - Congas and Bongos: Percussion instruments of Cuban origin that contribute to the rhythmic complexity and energy of the music. - Bass Guitar: The bass guitar provides a deep and steady foundation for the rhythm section, helping to anchor the groove and connect the drums with the melodic instruments. - Horn Section: The horn section plays a prominent role in Afrobeat compositions. It typically includes saxophones (alto, tenor, and baritone) and trumpets. The horns add vibrant melodies, dynamic arrangements, and powerful solos to the music. - Keyboards: Electric keyboards, synthesizers, and pianos are used to provide harmonic support, texture, and occasional solo parts. They bring a modern touch to Afrobeat compositions while maintaining the genre’s fusion essence. - Guitar: The guitar plays various roles in Afrobeat, including providing rhythmic strumming, melodic lines, and occasional solos. It contributes to the overall groove and adds layers to the music. - Vocals: Afrobeat often features powerful lead vocals and harmonies. The lyrics often touch on social and political themes, and the vocal performances can be expressive and passionate. - Percussion Instruments: In addition to the main drums, other percussion instruments like shekeres, tambourines, claves, and cowbells are commonly used to add further layers of rhythmic complexity and texture. - Brass Instruments: In addition to the horn section, other brass instruments like trombones and flugelhorns may be included to enhance the richness of the arrangements. Overall, the combination of these instruments creates the signature Afrobeat sound, blending traditional African rhythms with jazz, funk, and other modern elements.

For many years, Africa was often misrepresented or overlooked in mainstream media. However, Afrobeat’s rise has brought about a renaissance in cultural representation, and has helped to show the world the richness and diversity of African culture.

Afrobeat is a genre that originated in West Africa, particularly in Nigeria, during the late 1960s and was popularized by the legendary musician Fela Kuti. Here are some of the factors that contribute to Afrobeat’s danceable and infectious nature: - Rhythmic Complexity: Afrobeat is built on intricate and polyrhythmic percussion patterns. Multiple layers of rhythmic elements, such as drums, congas, and shakers, interlock to create a compelling and groovy foundation for the music. The syncopated beats and constant drive provide a captivating energy that makes people want to move. - Horn Sections: Afrobeat often features a powerful horn section, typically including saxophones, trumpets, and trombones. The horns add an infectious melodic and rhythmic layer to the music, creating catchy hooks and exciting arrangements that encourage dancing. - Repetitive Grooves: Afrobeat songs often maintain a steady and repetitive groove throughout, allowing dancers to lock into the rhythm easily. The consistent pulse and repetition create a hypnotic effect, making it hard to resist moving to the music. - Call and Response: Traditional African musical styles frequently employ call and response patterns, where a lead vocalist or instrument calls out a phrase, and the audience or a chorus responds. This interaction enhances the communal and participatory nature of Afrobeat performances, encouraging people to join in and dance together. - Incorporation of Western Styles: Fela Kuti, one of the pioneers of Afrobeat, blended traditional West African rhythms and melodies with elements of jazz, funk, and soul from Western music. This fusion created a unique and accessible sound that appealed to a wide audience and made the grooves more familiar and dance-friendly to global listeners. - Social and Political Messaging: Afrobeat often addresses social and political issues in its lyrics. The combination of engaging rhythms and thought-provoking messages can motivate people to dance with a purpose, expressing joy and unity while engaging with important themes. - Live Performance Energy: Afrobeat is best experienced in a live setting, where the energy of the performers and the audience’s response create an electrifying atmosphere. The infectious grooves, combined with the charisma of the musicians, make it almost impossible for the crowd not to dance along. Who are some contemporary Afrobeat artists? Music scene is continually evolving, and new artists may have emerged since then.

Afrobeat, as a genre of music, was pioneered by Nigerian musician Fela Kuti in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is characterized by a fusion of various musical styles, including traditional African rhythms, jazz, funk, and highlife, with a strong emphasis on percussion and complex instrumental arrangements. Afrobeat’s lyrics often address social and political issues, advocating for social justice, African unity, and the end of colonialism and oppression. The genre of Afrobeat reflects a pan-African identity in several ways: - Cultural Fusion: Afrobeat is a melting pot of various African and African-influenced musical styles. Fela Kuti drew inspiration from his Yoruba heritage, as well as from other West African musical traditions, blending them with elements of Western music. This fusion of different cultural influences represents the diverse cultural heritage of Africa as a whole. - Social and Political Themes: Afrobeat’s lyrics are often politically charged, addressing issues that resonate with people across the African continent. Topics like corruption, inequality, and the struggle for liberation and self-determination are common themes in Afrobeat songs. By highlighting these shared concerns, Afrobeat promotes a sense of solidarity among Africans and encourages a collective consciousness. - Emphasis on African Identity: Afrobeat musicians frequently celebrate African identity and cultural heritage through their music. Fela Kuti, for example, encouraged Africans to embrace their native names and reject European names as a way to affirm their pride in their African heritage. This focus on cultural identity reinforces a sense of unity and shared belonging among Africans. - International Influence: Afrobeat has transcended national boundaries and gained popularity not only in Africa but also globally. As the genre spread beyond Nigeria, it became a symbol of pan-Africanism, inspiring musicians and activists from various African countries. The international appeal of Afrobeat further strengthens the connection and sense of solidarity among Africans worldwide. - Advocacy for African Unity: Afrobeat often carries messages of African unity and the need for collective action to address the continent’s challenges. Fela Kuti, in particular, was a vocal advocate for the unification of African nations and the rejection of neocolonial influences. This call for unity resonates with the pan-African ideals of cooperation and collaboration among African countries. How has Afrobeat integrated into Western music culture? Afrobeat has integrated into Western music culture in several significant ways: - Global Popularity: Afrobeat has gained widespread recognition and popularity beyond the African continent. Musicians like Fela Kuti, Tony Allen, and Antibalas have been influential in introducing Afrobeat to Western audiences. Moreover, contemporary artists like Burna Boy and Wizkid have contributed to Afrobeat’s global success, collaborating with Western artists and featuring on mainstream international charts. - Fusion with Western Genres: Afrobeat’s rhythmic and melodic elements have been embraced by Western musicians, leading to the fusion of Afrobeat with various Western genres like jazz, funk, hip-hop, and electronic music.

Nigeria has played a central and pioneering role in the development of Afrobeat. The genre’s origins can be traced back to the creative genius of Nigerian musician and activist Fela Kuti, who is often referred to as the “Father of Afrobeat.” Several key factors contributed to Nigeria’s crucial role in shaping and popularizing this influential musical style: - Fela Kuti’s Innovation: Fela Kuti, a multi-instrumentalist and bandleader, was the driving force behind the creation and evolution of Afrobeat. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, he combined traditional Nigerian rhythms, Yoruba music, and highlife with elements of Western jazz, funk, and soul. Fela’s innovative approach to music composition and arrangement led to the birth of Afrobeat as a distinct genre. - Political and Social Relevance: Fela Kuti’s music was deeply rooted in his commitment to social and political activism. His lyrics addressed pressing issues such as government corruption, social inequality, and human rights abuses. By intertwining his music with powerful social messages, Fela gave Afrobeat a unique identity that resonated not only with Nigerians but also with people across the African continent and beyond. - Cultural Identity: Nigeria’s diverse cultural landscape played a significant role in shaping Afrobeat. The country is home to a wide range of ethnic groups, each with its own rich musical traditions. Fela drew inspiration from this cultural diversity, incorporating elements from various Nigerian cultures into his music. This fusion of cultural influences helped Afrobeat represent Nigeria’s cultural heritage on a global stage. - Lagos: Lagos, Nigeria’s largest city and commercial hub, served as a vibrant backdrop for the development of Afrobeat. The city’s lively music scene provided a platform for Fela Kuti and his band, Africa 70, to experiment and perform their groundbreaking music. Lagos became a creative hub where Afrobeat evolved and thrived. - International Impact: Fela Kuti’s international tours and collaborations with Western musicians introduced Afrobeat to global audiences. His performances in Europe and the United States helped Afrobeat gain recognition and acclaim outside of Nigeria, contributing to its integration into Western music culture. - Influence on Future Generations: Fela Kuti’s impact on Nigerian and African music cannot be overstated. He inspired numerous musicians, activists, and artists in Nigeria and beyond, who continue to build on his legacy and carry the Afrobeat tradition forward. - Fela’s Enduring Legacy: Even after Fela Kuti’s passing in 1997, his influence continues to shape contemporary African music and global musical trends.

As the second year of the incessant inventory shortage draws to a close, some new-car shoppers may be feeling far from festive. Reduced new-car incentives and tight inventory can be likened to receiving a lump of coal in place of the excitement that normally accompanies car shopping. Yet despite the challenges, there are several reasons to remain hopeful this season: New-vehicle inventory is finally showing signs of improvement; fewer cars are selling above sticker price; and the foursome of vehicles featured below come bearing gifts in the form of generous cash and financing deals in December. According to J.D. Power, vehicle production is starting to ramp up after months of pandemic-related disruptions. Available inventory surpassed 1 million units for the second month in a row, while new vehicles are spending more time on dealer lots. Some 49% of new cars were sold within 10 days of arriving at a dealership in November, down from 57% in March. On average, a new vehicle now spends 21 days at the dealership — three days longer than the same time a year previously. Another promising sign is that markups pushing a vehicle’s price above MSRP are beginning to taper off: J.D. Power estimates that around 41% of new vehicles were sold above MSRP in November, down from 50% in July. Even as inventory improves, however, shoppers shouldn’t expect a miracle since incentives are still hard to come by. The average incentive per vehicle in November was estimated at $1,009, or just 2.2% of MSRP — that’s down 1.3 percentage points compared to the same time in 2021. Meanwhile, interest rates for a new-car loan continue to climb, reaching an estimated 6.37%. The four highlighted vehicles bring above-average cash incentives and financing deals to infuse some holiday cheer back into the year-end car-shopping experience. While modest discounts can be found on select 2023 models, which we’ve noted, shoppers will find the best incentives when they opt for 2022 variants of the following vehicles:
